to show you Warsaw.

At night?

Perfect time.

Warsaw never sleeps. It's

the paris of the north.

Oh. It is?

Do come.

Uh,

w-Well, i--

I'll wait in the lobby of your hotel.

Well, yes, but...

[Music begins]

Ducky!

Forgive me.

I heard Mrs.,

uh--Uh, call you that.

I don't know your name,

and I should, you know.

Oh.

Uh, Whittredge.

Jennifer.

Which comes first?

Jennifer.

Jennifer.

Heh.

[Speaking polish]

[Speaking polish]

[Waltz playing]

Woman:

good evening, Count.

Good evening,

erika.

Thank you.

Man:
ah! Good evening,

Count Orvid.

Good evening,

roman.

Good evening, my lady.

Welcome to Warsaw.

We are delighted

to have you here.

Such loveliness we

poles greatly appreciate,

Especially Count Orvid.

He always brings--

That's all right,

roman.

Ahem. Yes, Sir.

This way, please.

Everything is arranged

just as you ordered it.

[Speaking polish]

Stephen:

very good, roman.

My lady?

I know I can

rely on you.

Always, sir, always.

Thank you.

And I make sure

that the food is hot,

Both:
and

the champagne cold.

Of course.

Well?

Good evening,

Stephen.

Good evening, uh...

Friend of the family.

I like this place.

What is it called?

Polo strogon,

But we call it

"the stables."

The stables?

It's a favorite of

the cavalry officers.

We always come here.

Oh. You're in

the cavalry.

Yes--A reserve

officer.

I've retired from

active operations...

That is, of

a military nature.

[Both chuckle]

Will you smoke?

Well...

Yes, I think I will.

Thank you.

Do you prefer

civilian life?

Well, it has

its advantages...

Especially tonight.

I see.

You have

strange eyes--

Very lovely.

But the

cavalry--

I thought that was

something that went out

With the invention

of the automobile.

Hardly. They're blue, aren't they?

Gray.

Would they be effective?

Quite.

N-No,

i meant the cavalry.

Would it be effective

against, well,

Modern tanks and guns?

Hmm?

Uh...what's that?

The cavalry.

Oh, the cavalry.

Well, you see, my dear,

when it rains in Poland,

Our dirt roads

become a sea of mud.

Enemy tanks would

bog down.

Our cavalry would ride

rings around them.

Oh, I see.

Yes.

But...suppose it doesn't rain?

Well, uh...

Roses?

Then there would be

no flowers.

Uh, marisha?

Marisha:
good evening, Count Orvid.

Good evening,

marisha.

Roses?

No, no.

Let me see. Uh...

Violets, I think.

Oh. Thank you

very much.

Yes, violets.

Definitely.

Mmm.

Thank you, marisha.

They're so lovely.

Now your eyes have gone

the color of the violets.

Well...

What do you do now?

You mean after giving you the flowers?

No, I... now that you've

retired from active service.

Oh. Well, I live

on a family estate.
