Love in the Afternoon Page #3

Your hand will tremble, at best you

will wound her in the leg or shoulder.

You will take her to the hospital...

...she will meet a very

attractive doctor...

I will not shoot my wife.

I love my wife.

- You must not shoot yourself.

- Myself?. I haven't done anything.

Quite true.

What is the number

of the suite, 14?

- Exactly.

- And the gypsies leave at 10:00?

Exactly.

Then at 10:
00,

I shall walk into Suite 14 and shoot.

- The American?

- Exactly.

Goodbye, Monsieur Chavasse.

You do realize

that this is cold- blooded murder?

I do.

And that you may have

to spend years in jail?

I may.

Is there nothing I can say to dissuade

you from this foolhardy scheme?

Nothing whatsoever.

In that case, Monsieur,

you leave me no choice.

- I must insist on being paid

right now. - How much?

Sixty- thousand francs.

It should really be more,

because with Mr. Flannagan removed...

...there will be a sharp drop

in my business.

Thank you, Monsieur.

You may take the photographs if

you wish. There is no extra charge.

You send them to my lawyer.

And my bags,

you send them also to my lawyer.

No extra charge.

Au revoir, Monsieur. Bonne chance.

- Papa?

- Yes, Ariane?

Papa...

What is it?

- Papa, may I practice again?

- Of course, darling.

- Perhaps I'd better take the tray out

first. - Thank you. Go ahead, darling.

Your client seemed so nervous.

What was he moaning about?

It's his wife. She... Never mind.

Aren't you going

to the conservatory today?

In the afternoon, Papa.

Michel is picking me up.

He must be quite tall.

At least 6-foot-3.

Who? Michel?

No. Mr. Flannagan.

Give me that.

He's certainly the most

handsome man in your files.

He's certainly the most

utterly no good.

He's got such an American face,

like a cowboy or Abraham Lincoln.

You know what happened to Lincoln?

And right in the middle

of a performance!

What time is it now?

9:
15.

Why do you keep asking?

- Do you have a telephone coin?

- What's wrong, Ariane?

If you're in some sort of trouble,

you can tell me.

Thanks, Michel.

Operator?

I want to speak to the Hotel Ritz.

Please hurry, this is an emergency.

Hello, Ritz?

I want to speak to Mr. Flannagan.

Mr. Frank Flannagan.

Sorry, but he left express orders

not to be disturbed.

- But, l--

- Sorry, Madame, absolutely not.

Monsieur Flannagan

has retired for the night.

You'd better put this call through...

...or Mr. Flannagan will

retire permanently.

Hello? Hello!

Hello?

What time is it now?

9:
20. I must say,

you're acting very strange tonight.

How would you act

if you knew somebody was being shot?

I don't know. I would call

the police. Who is being shot?

Do you have another coin?
