Love in the Afternoon Page #5

Well, is this lady your wife?

- Is your name Frank Flannagan?

- Yes.

- Is this Suite 14?

- Yes.

Then she must be my wife.

- Are you?

- I don't think so.

This is all very confusing.

- May I use your phone?

- Go right ahead. Help yourself.

Hello, give me the concierge.

Concierge, is there another

Frank Flannagan in this hotel?

Well, is there another Suite 14?

This is the Ritz, isn't it?

I'm terribly sorry.

But you must understand...

...I'm terribly nervous.

Here, have some of this.

It's so preposterous, apparently

I am the victim of misinformation...

- ...a case of mistaken identity.

- Cheers.

Cheers.

Perfume!

I can smell my wife's perfume!

Go right ahead, help yourself.

While you're looking, if you

happen to find my left slipper...

- Is this it?

- Thank you.

I'm terribly sorry

to cause you all this trouble.

No, I'm glad you came. I've been

trying to find this for a week.

You have no idea

what I've been through today.

I was so upset. I went to a Turkish

bath and had three massages.

- You look good.

- Thank you.

Loulou...

...first thing tomorrow morning

you're going to the analyst, bad dog!

When I saw you coming down the corridor,

I could have sworn you were my wife.

You mustn't jump to conclusions.

Actually, you don't look like her

at all. My wife is much more...

Not that she's heavy mind you,

she's very beautiful.

Matter of fact, she's one of the

most beautiful women in the world.

I'm sure she is.

- I do wish you could meet her.

- Maybe some other time.

Yes, of course, I understand.

- Good night, Madame.

- Good night.

- Good night, Monsieur.

- Good night.

Perhaps I'd better put this back on.

How about that guy?

Told his wife he was in London!

It's getting so you can't trust

a husband anymore.

If it hadn't been for you,

I'd have got...

- I was glad to do it.

- He didn't even bother to knock.

A madman running around the Ritz

with a loaded gun.

- Did you ever hear of such a thing?

- It's nothing unusual.

There are 7,000 hotels in Paris,

220,000 hotel rooms...

...and do you know that

in approximately 40,000 of them...

...especially on a night like this...

- What are you talking about?

- These are official figures.

- Good night, Mr. Flannagan.

- Good night.

It was nice meeting you.

You can't go like this.

I don't know your name. Who are you?

That's unimportant.

Well, you seem to know who I am.

You're Frank Flannagan.

American. Oil, construction business...

...turbo-jet engines,

Pepsi- Cola, and "You Hit the Spot."

How did you find out about tonight?

About the husband coming here?

You are 6- foot- 3, aren't you?

But you don't look a bit

like Abraham Lincoln.
