Here Is My Heart Page #5

Now, go away. Go on.

Okay, okay.

But when do we go to press?

As soon as

I can get that pistol.

That's a date.

Now, stay in character,

but give her the works,

Eighty-three hundred

ninety-two,

sixty-four hundred...

How can it be less

when it should be more?

Oh, good morning, Paul.

Good morning,

Your Highness.

Yes.

Excuse me just

a moment, will you?

Yes.

Something's wrong

with my figures,

as usual.

Well, this is a plus sign.

Yes, yes,

I realize that, yes.

This is a minus sign.

I know that.

I know that.

But you've

subtracted the plus

and you've added the minus.

Oh, you mean,

I should add the plus

and subtract the minus?

Well, they've been doing it

that way for years,

Your Highness.

Have they really?

Oh, yes.

Paul, you're uncanny.

Thank you, sir.

Not at all.

By the way, you're

not in the market for

a good car, I suppose?

Hmm, no,

I'm afraid not, sir.

Oh, too bad.

We could use some cash.

Really, sir?

Yeah.

Well, surely

the Princess...

Oh, she's just

as broke as I am.

We're down to

our last creditor.

Oh, you won't

tell the management?

Oh, no, sir.

I see.

Please go on.

In the past,

Your Highness has

been more than generous

to your exiled countrymen.

Your donation

last year was...

15,000 francs.

As you know, the need

this year is even greater.

Yes.

I know.

Put me down for 25,000.

Your Highness,

how can I ever thank you.

And now,

if you will excuse me?

Please, Your Highness.

Are you crazy?

Probably.

There's always been

a goofy streak in

our family.

Nicki!

Well, there has.

Wasn't it Uncle Philip

who lived for 20 years

under the impression

that he was

a chocolate souffl?

That's not true.

Oh!

It was vanilla.

But, really, Alexandra,

where are you going to

get this donation?

A few things

are still left.

I will sell them.

And when they are gone,

what will we do?

What did Soumatoff do?

What did Soumatoff do?

He shot himself.

Well, be that as it may,

I see certain

marked disadvantages.

Ah, food!

About this donation

of Alexandra's.

I suppose I could

contribute a little

out of the small amount

I earn.

What?

What?

You mean to say

you're working?

Oh,

I'm not exactly working.

You see, it's like this.

I buy

a car on credit and

sell it a little cheaper.

For cash.

It's really

quite profitable.

How did you ever get

such a wonderful idea?

Oh, I don't know.

It just came to me.

Why, Nicki,

you're uncanny.

Oh, thanks.

Nicki.

Yes, dear?

You can't do this.

Well, why not?

Business, Nicki?

Have you forgotten

who you are?

No, but I'd like to.

Nicki!

Pardon, Your Highness.

Yes, Suzette?

The manager is here.

Tell him we'll see him.
