I have a confession to make to you.

Baron, you are a crook.

You robbed the gentleman in

two fifty-three, five, seven and nine.

- May I have the salt?

- Please.

- Thank you.

- The pepper too?

- No, thank you.

- You're very welcome.

Countess, believe me,

before you left this room,

I would have told you everything.

And let me say this

with love in my heart.

Countess, you are a thief.

The wallet of the gentleman in

two fifty-three, five, seven and nine...

is in your possession.

I knew it very well

when you took it out of my pocket.

In fact, you tickled me.

But your embrace was so sweet.

- Countess.

- Thank you.

- I like you, Baron.

- I'm crazy about you.

By the way,

your pin.

- Thank you, Baron.

- Not at all.

There's one very good stone in it.

What time is it?

It was five minutes slow,

but I regulated it for you.

I hope you don't mind

if I keep your garter.

Darling!

Oh, now, darling. Tell me...

Tell me all about yourself. Who are you?

You remember the man who walked

into the Bank of Constantinople...

and walked out with

the Bank of Constantinople?

- Monescu!

- Gaston Monescu.

Gaston!

I love you.

I loved you the moment I saw you.

I'm mad about you.

My little shoplifter.

My sweet little pickpocket.

My darling.

Geneva. From Geneva comes the news...

that the famous

international crook, Gaston Monescu,

robbed the peace conference

yesterday.

He took practically everything

except the peace.

The police arrested him

and confiscated all the stolen goods,

but he managed to escape

in an inexplainable manner.

This is the Paris

police reporter speaking.

Ladies and gentlemen,

this program comes to you...

through the courtesy

of Colet and Company,

manufacturers of the most famous

perfumes in the worid.

Remember, it doesn't matter what

you say, it doesn't matter how you look.

It's how you smell. Thank you.

# Colet, Colet

Colet and Company #

# Are makers of the best perfumes #

# If you and your beloved can't agree #

# Permit us to suggest perfumes #

# Cleopatra was a lovely tantalizer #

# But she did it

with her little atomizer #

# We'll make you smell like a rose #

# Every nose in Paris knows #

# Colet and Company # #

Well, I am sure, Madame Colet,

if your husband were alive,

the first thing he would do

in times like these... cut salaries.

Unfortunately, Monsieur Giron,

business bores me to distraction.

Besides, I have

a luncheon engagement.

So I think we better leave the salaries

just where they are. Good-bye.

Good-bye, Madame Colet.

This one, Madame Colet,

is only 3,000 francs.

Oh, no, that's entirely too much.

- How 'bout that one?

- Oh, this one, madame.

Samson Raphaelson

Samson Raphaelson (1894–1983) was a leading American playwright, screenwriter and fiction writer. While working as an advertising executive in New York, he wrote a short story based on the early life of Al Jolson, called The Day of Atonement, which he then converted into a play, The Jazz Singer. This would become the first talking picture, with Jolson as its star. He then worked as a screenwriter with Ernst Lubitsch on sophisticated comedies like Trouble in Paradise, The Shop Around the Corner, and Heaven Can Wait, and with Alfred Hitchcock on Suspicion. His short stories appeared in The Saturday Evening Post and other leading magazines, and he taught creative writing at the University of Illinois. more…
