Mata Hari Page #4

will always be with you.

No, you mustn't.

But you are so beautiful.

This is absurd.

I am going to bed.

Don't speak.

Good night.

- Madame, the hairdresser can take you.

- I'm too nervous.

- And the marquis is calling for you.

- I'm too tired, Marie.

- And Baron Michel telephoned.

- Oh, I'm not interested, really.

Mata.

Mata.

- But, no, sir.

- It's perfectly all right.

For the loveliest lady in all France.

I had to see you.

It seemed like wasting life to sleep.

You're even more beautiful

than I remembered you.

- Why did you come here?

- I couldn't help it.

Out there, the birds were singing, and there

was a softness in the air just like spring.

And you were the song of the birds

and the warm brightness of the morning.

- It's very nice but...

- My heart was so full of you...

...I had to come back and tell you I love you

and take you to lunch.

It's almost 2:
oo

and I have an appointment.

But you can break it.

I must take you to lunch.

- I told you I have an appointment.

- And I told you to break it.

You're a fool.

The most conceited fool I've ever known.

Mata.

What makes you think you have

the right to burst in here?

I'm sorry. But last night

you told me that you loved me.

Oh, did I?

Well, that was last night.

Today I am very busy.

Marie.

- Yes, madame.

- The gentleman is leaving.

You are quite right. I have been a fool.

I won't make this mistake again.

Still a peasant, lvan, huh?

Still superstitious.

Evil spirits come in on the wind.

There's Madame Mata Hari.

Leave that alone.

Hurry up, open the door.

Go on.

Monsieur Dubois.

Dubois?

What on earth can he want?

Tell him...

Tell him I can't see him.

Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Tell him...

...that I shall be delighted.

My dear Dubois.

I'm afraid I'm intruding.

And inwardly you must be saying,

"confound this man Dubois."

- No. No, not at all, but...

- I'll be brief.

And if I seem to touch

on matters that are...

...how shall I say it,

too intimate, you must forgive me...

...it is because of my duty.

- Yes?

You are very friendly with a lady...

...perhaps the same one

that you are expecting tonight.

Well, what if I am?

We consider this woman

a very grave danger.

And as you know her better

than anyone else, we want you to help us.

Why, what are you talking about?

- I'm expecting Mata Hari.

- Exactly.

And Mata Hari is a spy.

- In the pay of the Wilhelmstrasse.

- A spy.

Oh, my dear Dubois.

- Now you insult my intelligence.

- Please.

Either that or you've lost your mind.

I'm quite sane, I assure you.

Well, if she's a spy,

why don't you arrest her?

Because I need definite proof.

And that's why I am here.
