Some dame l met in the men's room.

Why not? This is Paris.

Paris isn't the Eiffel Tower...

...the Arc de Triomphe...

...or the Sacr Coeur.

This is Paris.

How'd you like to take

a sightseeing bus around that?

Numro vingt-quatre.

Robe de cocktail. Ombre.

Number 24. Cocktail gown.

Ombr, brown ostrich.

Of course, you could never

sit down in it.

You'd look like you are

sitting on your nest.

- But it is rather charming, isn't it?

- Not to me.

lt reminds me of the two years

l spent as a chicken-plucker.

Numro vingt-cinq. Robe du soir

et manteau. Rouge Goya.

Number 25. Evening gown

and cape. Goya red.

Nice little housedress.

Not very practical. You're liable

to get those sleeves

caught in the garbage disposal.

Number 2 7. Dinner suit.

Brocade and mink.

- So how much are they already?

- Oh, the French are very wise.

They never quote prices in public.

The price of this dress

is about $2,000.

Sam.

l figure in rayon and rabbit fur,

we can do it for about $89.95.

Remember good.

There was another showing in Paris

that Harry and l attended.

We were working too, of course.

l wanted desperately to get that

interview with someone

in the French cabinet,

or the old boy at the top.

We looked for him everyplace.

To each his own.

You lost her.

The stuff from the boutiques

looks just as good

as those expensive originals.

l don't know why

we don't get more of them.

Darling, no woman buys

a Paris gown to save money.

Unless, of course, she's in love

with her husband.

And then why bother?

Comes to about $42 a dozen.

- Madam?

- Merci.

You know, the hats

are divine this season.

- What did you wanna do that for?

- l couldn't resist it.

The last guy that bowed to me

was playing King Arthur

in the fourth grade.

l was Lady Guinevere.

So, Lady Guinevere, how are you

coming with the brassieres?

Fine. But come on up here

and take a look.

All these French sizes

are marked different.

This one says size 86.

Now, would you believe it? How you

gonna convert that into inches?

lt might help you to know

that l wear a size 90.

lt helps a lot.

l found a wonderful place here

to get sponge rubber.

Everybody goes there.

Mr. Bergner?

l don't know whether you think

it's illegal to pay

- for something you can steal.

- Sure, it's illegal.

But l'm not sure. lt might be better

to buy some of those

Paris originals, huh?

- Buy?

- Yeah.

That's right. You can copy them

much easier that way.

Everyone does it.

They sell you the rights.

Now, Mr. Bergner, isn't your money

just as good as Saks' or Magnins'?

Sure, it's as good. That's why l wanna

keep it in the bank where it belongs.

What do you think, Lina?

Ninety?
