The Party Page #2

Synopsis: By a twist of fate, clumsy still good-hearted, aspiring actor Hrundi V. Bakshi, is invited to attend Fred "General" Clutterbuck's big party, after having utterly ruined the set of his latest feature film. What Mr. Clutterbuck doesn't know, is that Bakshi is present at his gathering, merrily mingling with the highly-esteemed guests he and his wife have wholeheartedly invited. The night is approaching and all of the guests have finally assembled in this magnificent villa, equipped with the latest innovations modern technology has to offer. In this cozy and friendly atmosphere, drinks are flowing, food is in abundance and everybody is having a great time with light conversations and in high spirits, enjoying the music from the band. But when Bakshi accidentally has his first-ever sip of alcohol and his real identity is finally revealed, only God knows how this well-thought party is going to end up...

No, not poo. Pool.

- Pool!

- Pool.

- Oh, like swimming pool.

- You got it, honey.

I never heard of

a game called poo.

Fine game.

And so,

what is the object of it...

to disperse these colored balls

strategically around the table?

Get the balls in the holes.

All except for the white one.

Oh, that is the art?

The art is not

to have the white one in?

- Right.

- Good.

And how many people can play?

One, two, three, or what?

Oh, whole bunches,

or twos and threes.

With a group...

groups of people can play.

By yourself. Yes.

Thank goodness.

How wonderful.

Keep your eye

on the white ball...

Oh, excuse me.

Excuse me, sir, but...

you are, are you not...

Wyoming Bill Kelso,

the famous film star?

That's me, in the flesh.

Oh, God,

what a moment in my life.

Oh, sir, I've seen

every one of your films.

Oh, well, that's wonderful!

What a wonderful,

strong grip you've got.

Yes, I do.

My goodness, I would

have been disappointed...

if you hadn't crushed my hand.

Oh, listen.

Will you do me the honor...

to sign me an autograph?

Oh, sure. Here, hold this.

I'll be glad to.

I am also in the acting

profession, you know.

- Oh, you are?

- Yes, indeed.

I am not in your quality,

but I was around.

Well, what's your name?

Hrundi. H-r-u-n-d-i.

Wait till I tell them

at home that I met him.

They'll never believe me.

- Where you from?

- I am from India.

Got you covered, Injun!

How do you...

Bang! Howdy, pardner.

Well, I'm pretty quick

on the draw there, right?

Never I believe

in all my whole life...

I would meet him, and he

would go, "Bang, pardner!"

Listen to me.

"White man speak

with, uh, forked tongue!"

And look, mmm-mmm...

You old horned toad, buddy!

Cute little feller, isn't he?

I know all your sayings.

I know all of them.

Good. Hrundi, say hello...

The one where you walk along,

and then you go...

Hrundi, say hello

to Signorina here.

Hello, partner.

Piacere.

Bakshi.

- There you go.

- Oh, thank you.

This is a wonderful thing

you have done for me.

My pleasure.

Thank you, and I will...

thank you.

I would love to say

that it has been...

the greatest moment in my life.

Bang! Aha, got you!

I was quick on the draw.

You beat me that time, pal.

That's right.

- Goodness me.

- Lots of luck to you.

And the same to you, sir.

Howdy, pardner!

That was so groovy.

- That was a short dance.

- That's right.

And they don't go on

for long, do they?

- No, they don't.

- Yes, we just started, and...

Well, anyway,

thank you very much.

Thank you.

Perhaps we can

dance again later.

If your carnet du bal

is not full up.

Oh, I'd love to.

Thank you.

What is that ring

on your finger, chopped liver?

Blake Edwards

William Blake Crump (July 26, 1922 – December 15, 2010), better known by his stage name Blake Edwards, was an American filmmaker. Edwards began his career in the 1940s as an actor, but he soon began writing screenplays and radio scripts before turning to producing and directing in television and films. His best-known films include Breakfast at Tiffany's, Days of Wine and Roses, 10, Victor/Victoria, and the hugely successful Pink Panther film series with British actor Peter Sellers. Often thought of as primarily a director of comedies, he also directed several drama, musical, and detective films. Late in his career, he transitioned to writing, producing, and directing for theater. In 2004, he received an Honorary Academy Award in recognition of his writing, directing, and producing an extraordinary body of work for the screen. more…
