Us?

Oh, I'd like to introduce you to Mr. Forsythe.

How do you do?

Been here long?

We caused terrific excitement early this morning

by suddenly arriving on a private plane.

Now don't try and make out he came only to see you.

Oh, shut up.

I only had the pleasure of meeting Miss Kent

for the first time this morning.

Don't tell anybody. He picked me up

on the nasty slopes.

Don't you get me into trouble with your uncle

the first time I meet him.

How did you know he was my uncle?

You told me, don't you remember?

Did I?

Miss Kent?

Yes?

Excuse me, telephone, madam.

Thank you.

Will you excuse me a minute?

How about some lunch, Mr. Kent?

No, thanks, I had some.

Uh... just give me a cup of coffee,

will you?

Hello?

Oh, but you must leave work for a little while.

Jim's here.

Who?

All on one bill, that's right?

Yes, that's right.

I'm awfully sorry.

I forgot to bring any money with me.

Oh, my dear boy, let me.

Do you take an English five-pound note?

Please, don't fear, I'll pay you back.

Trying to spend all your money already?

He's been paying for everything this morning.

It's my wallet I forgot.

I had some loose change on me.

Oh, I see.

Gilbert's painting improper pictures

in the hotel's new cocktail bar.

He said he can't tear himself away.

Are they as improper as all that?

Worse. He won't let anyone to see them.

Are you ready?

Are you sure you wouldn't rather cut the skiing out

and go down with your uncle in the funicular?

Oh, I wouldn't dream of it. I want to see him start.

Come on.

You go ahead, then. I want some cigarettes.

I'll get your change.

Fraulein, that English note the gentleman gave you.

Yes, sir?

I found some francs for the bill,

so would you mind letting me have it back?

Just a minute, sir. I'll get it.

You seem to be very interested

in that young man.

Oh, shut up.

Do you mind taking this back

to the hotel for me?

Of course I'm not interested in him.

I'm glad to hear it.

Why?

Kann ich Ihnen helfenm frulein?

Bitte schn.

Jim.

Why do you say that?

I've got something rather disturbing

to tell you.

Disturbing?

Do you know why he's really here?

No, why?

He's trying to steal Gilbert's job.

No!

Hmm!

He seems such a nice, honest young man,

too, doesn't he?

But how did you find out?

The manager told me down below.

Do you think Gilbert's signed any contract yet?

I don't know.

If only we could warn him

we might get something signed.

But are you sure?

I can hardly believe it.

I can hardly believe it myself.

Now, if you can delay this Mr. Forsythe for a bit,

then I can warn Gilbert...

Hello, I got your change.

Thanks.

Are you ready?

Yes, quite.
