Genevieve Page #3

Synopsis: It's time for the annual London to Brighton antique car rally, and Alan McKim and Ambrose Claverhouse are not going to let their friendship stop them from trying to humiliate each other. Along the way, some old jealousies are kindled to the point where the two men decide to have a "friendly" wager on who will be the first back to London. Once the competitive juices get all fired up, however, it quickly becomes a nasty, hotly-contested affair. Ambrose's companion must suffer through her "maiden voyage" on the rally, while Mrs. McKim, on the other hand, is a long-time sufferer of her husband's obsession.

- McKim, Alan and Wendy.

Ah, Ambrose's friends.

- Isn't he here?

- I think he went to telephone.

He'll be back.

- I, I'll take your cases over to his car.

- Thank you.

Suzy!

Come on, Suzy.

Come on.

There!

This is Suzy. She

can say, how d'you do.

Say, how d'you do, Suzy.

Say, how d'you do, Suzy. Oh.

She can do the cutest things

when she wants to.

It must be too

early in the morning.

Didn't realize it's going

to be so many people.

Ambrose said it's a

very exclusive club.

Suzy!

I usually leave her with

the housekeeper where I live.

But she's been ill,

so I had to bring her.

- You don't think that Ambrose'l

mind, do you? - Mind?

Of course not.

He'll be delighted.

Here we are.

Is that it?

This is it.

Oh, no!

Is this Ambrose's?

But has it got brakes

and everything?

I know he said it was an old car, but

the way he talked about it...

...I thought it was something wonderful!

You'll get used to it.

They all talk like that.

Rosalind!

Hey, Rosalind!

- Hi!

- Hi.

Good morning, Wendy.

Morning, old sport.

So reason prevailed, eh?

Thank heavens you got here. I've

been calling your number all night.

Oh I'm sorry, but I went to that party

on friday, and it sort of got out of hand.

Everybody decided to fly to jersey.

Aw. Oh well, never mind.

What's that?

I was going to leaver her with the

housekeeper, but she's been sick.

- The dog's been sick?

- No, of course not. The housekeeper.

But Rosalind. We can't take that

mutt all the way to Brighton.

She's not a mutt.

She's a sweet dog and has

absolutely perfect manners.

Can't you understand? We can't

take that great big fat, lump of a...

Alan, bear me out.

It just won't do, will it?

- Well, I don't see why not, old man.

- Oh fine, fine that's very funny.

Mr. Claverhouse.

Mr. Claverhouse.

You're next.

All right. But we'd

better get aboard.

Will the cars on the eastern side...

- Rosalind in fact hurry up!

All the cars on the eastern

side are first.

You'll find it'll be all

right, once you get started.

You're a great help.

You are.

- Suzy's itching, anyway.

- Bah!

- See you in Brighton. Goodbye.

- Bye, Wendy!

Goodbye!

Goodbye!

Goodbye!

No standards.

Nobody home.

Happy, darling?

I know I was a silly

ass, yesterday.

It just wouldn't be

the same without you.

I love you.

You know that?

And I love you, too. And

I'm glad I came. Really.

Oh, blast these

tram lines!

You know. I think she's

feeling better now.

I think she's even

beginning to like it.

- Aren't you Suzy?

- But where did you get her?

I found her.

During the war.

I think she was blitzed,

because she was awfully neurotic.

Do you know

For a long time she wouldn't
