Waterloo Bridge Page #2

Never enjoyed an air raid more.

Shall we go now or wait for the next?

Oh, it's very tempting,

but I think we'd better go.

Shall I carry that?

No, no. I only drop it in emergencies.

Well, I hope I'm around

the next time it happens.

It isn't very likely, is it?

You go back to France and...

- And you?

- We may go to America.

Oh, that does make it unlikely.

I'm sorry.

So am I.

MAN:

Read all about it.

Read all about it.

It's so late.

I'm afraid I'll have to take a taxi.

That may not be so simple.

- I don't know any...

- I wish I could have seen the...

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

- What were you going to say?

- I wish I could have seen the ballet.

I'm sure it would have been

a pleasant memory in the trenches.

What were you going to say?

Oh, it's just that I don't know anyone

at the front...

...and I'm afraid it'll bring it home

to me now, knowing you.

- Not that I really know you, of course.

BOY:
Here you are, governor.

Thank you very much.

I hope you get back safe and sound.

Thank you.

Here...

...take this.

ROY:

Your good-luck charm?

Perhaps it'll bring you luck.

I hope it does.

Oh, now, look here.

I can't take it. It means so much to you.

You'd better have it.

I was beginning to rely on it too much.

Well, that's wonderfully kind of you.

Olympic Theatre, please.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

(ORCHESTRA PLAYING

"SWAN LAKE, OP. 20")

- Kitty, he's here.

- Who?

Oh, the man in the underground?

I don't understand.

He said he couldn't come.

- I suppose he just came to see the show.

- You don't suppose anything of the kind.

- You said he had to go to a colonel's dinner.

- It's not what I said. It's what he said.

(APPLAUSE)

He's nice, isn't he?

He's a bit of all right.

Must have ditched the colonel.

Think he'll come backstage?

What'll madame say?

We must watch and pray.

Oh, girls. Girls, girls.

Please. Please do be quiet.

You know how madame hates noise.

Shh! Shh, shh!

Maureen.

What is pas de bourre?

A pas de bourre is a progression on points

by a sequence of very small, even steps.

If you know it, why don't you do it

during the performance?

Elsa.

Your arabesques were jumpy.

They were positively epileptic.

Really, I was concerned for you.

Ana.

Show the young ladies, please,

how to do an entrechat quatre.

And may I ask, why didn't you do it

that way for the audience?

They also have some rights, you know.

The performance tonight was disgraceful.

We are playing for the moment

in a variety theater but...

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Kitty.

But that doesn't mean

you should work with less precision...

...than performing seals,

which precede you.

You don't honor the ballet
