Come September Page #5

Synopsis: Wealthy industrialist Robert Talbot arrives early for his annual vacation at his luxurious Italian villa to find three problems lying in wait for him. Firstly, his long-time girlfriend Lisa Fellini has given up waiting for him to pop the question and has decided to marry another man. Secondly, the major domo of his villa, Maurice Clavell, has turned the estate into a posh hotel to make some easy money while the boss isn't around. And, finally, the current guests of the "hotel" are a group of young American girls trying to fend off a gang of oversexed boys, led by Tony, who are 'laying siege' at the outer walls of the villa. Talbot, to his own surprise, finds himself becoming an overprotective chaperone.

Sir, may I please ask one last favor?

Margaret, the chaperone. She's been

coming with tourists for some time.

We've become rather close,

even made plans for the future.

She thinks I'm the owner.

Will you please let me explain it to her

In my own way?

All right. But I have the feeling

I'm not doing Margaret any favor.

Thank you. I'll talk to her right away.

We should be leaving in about half an hour to

pick up Ms. Fellini at the station.

I'll pick her up my self.

Please, sir. As long as I'm here,

I'd like to attend to my duties.

Just for my own Information,

how long has this been a hotel?

Six years.

it was a fine hotel, sir,

with a Triple A rating.

Conrad Hilton

would have been proud to own it

I'm surprised you didn't sell it to him.

The deed Is In your name.

Che piacere rivederla, signorina.

- Grazie Maurice.

- What did he say?

- That It's nice to see me.

- Oh.

- La trovo bene, Maurice.

- Lisa, please.

- Don't pat the servants.

- Maurice? He's more than a servant

Yes, I found that out today.

Keep your eyes on the road.

Robert, you're terribly sharp

with Maurice.

What's wrong?

How would you feel if you found out

Brutus was your major-domo?

Lucrezia Borgia your cook

and Benedict Arnold your upstairs maid?

Cos'hal combinato?

Questa villa resta vuota

Un dici mes al l'anno.

Al lora mi son detto: "Che peccato,

perch non convertirla In un albergo?"

- A hotel

- Filled with tourists.

Look... He even advertises.

Don't laugh, you'll encourage him.

C' solo una povera vecchia

con sei hambin Indifes.

E lui Il butta fuori, sulla strada.

- vero?

- vero.

- I can't believe it

- What?

That you could be so cruel,

to throw out on the street

an old woman

and six helpless children.

- Theyre not children, they're...

- What?

- Not children.

- Chie devo solo di lasciarli una notte.

Se ne vada domattina.

Why cant they stay one night?

They are leaving In the morning.

I don't want anybody there tonight.

Do you?

Roberto, what can one night hurt?

- Ha ragione, cosa importa...

- You keep out of this.

- Dont you listen to him.

- I've never seen you like this before.

- You're upset.

- Of course I'm upset.

It's 10 months since we had seen each other.

- Whose fault Is that?

- Mi fa male sentirvi litigare.

Isn't he sweet?

He said it upsets him to hear us argue.

Theres nothing to argue about

He's already told them to leave.

You did tell your friend Margaret,

didnt you?

Come potevo? Stava facendo Il bagno,

non siamo poi cos tanto amici.

Dont talk to her, talk to me.

- What's the big joke?

- He said, how could he tell her?

She was taking a bath,

and they're not that friendly.

I don't think that's funny.
