An American in Paris Page #6

The elements are against me.

It was swell seeing you again.

I'll tell Elaine to call you.

What was your phone number?

It slipped my mind

the moment you said it.

Opera 2-5-7-4.

No, Lise. 2-4-7-5.

Thank you.

Good night.

Well, I'm tired.

Good night.

Good night, darling.

I'll call you.

Say good night to Milo.

- Good night, Milo.

- Good night, Jack.

Don't I owe you something

for the wine?

Forget it. You do it next time.

If there is one.

Good night.

Good night.

- That was fun, wasn't it?

- Was it?

That's a fascinating place.

I'd like to hang around

and paint it.

I can imagine

all the work you'll get done.

You've already painted

a Montmartre dive...

...and it wasn't successful.

- Wait a minute.

Don't tell me how

and what to paint.

I didn't like

your exhibition tonight!

I thought you were very rude.

Rude? I didn't mean

to be. I'm sorry.

Picking up stray women

is your own affair...

...but don't do it with me.

Is that clear?

That's clear. That's very clear.

Stop the car.

Sensitive artists!

You're touchy about yourself...

...but oblivious of others.

You don't understand

how they feel.

It's been fun.

Sorry you're stuck

with the pictures.

- I still like the pictures.

- Thanks a lot.

Jerry Mulligan.

I met you at the Caf Flodair

last night. Remember?

You!

Yeah, me.

It's a beautiful day and I thought

I could drop by and...

Well, now, one moment, Mr. Mooligan.

Mulligan.

Last night you were an annoyance.

But today you're growing

into a nuisance.

Now please leave me alone and don't

call me again, ever.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Would you care for...

No, thanks.

I've had my breakfast already.

I've been up for hours...

...working, I might add, for you.

Do you know Jules Parmentier,

the art dealer?

I know of him.

He came to the hotel

and had coffee this morning.

I showed him your pictures.

He was very impressed.

He thought you

had great individuality.

He thought they were fresh.

- That's wonderful.

- Not only that...

...but he wants to talk

about your show.

- That's a long way off.

- Maybe not such a long way.

I don't have near enough

for an exhibition.

- What I do have, I'm not sure...

- That's not important.

Then I went to the Marais Galleries

and talked to Louis Dufond.

He's a very old friend of mine.

He's coming tomorrow

to see your pictures.

You don't waste any time, do you?

I hope not.

Come with me and we'll

talk about it over lunch?

I've something to do

this morning...

...but I could meet you.

How about the Restaurant Paul

on the Avenue de la Paix?

I'll see you there at one.

I'm sorry about that

little tiff last night.

I was tired I guess.

Forget it.
