Monte Carlo Page #3

Synopsis: Minutes before her wedding to Duke Otto Von Seibenheim, Countess Helene Mara flees, on a whim, to Monte Carlo, where she hopes her luck will save her poor financial state. There, Count Rudolph Farriere is taken by her beauty, but she rebuffs him, not even looking at him. Assuming the guise of a hairdresser, he finally succeeds in seeing her, night and morning. Sparks fly, and love ensues - but can she love a lowly hairdresser? As her finances worsen though, the Duke arrives, and his money and social status seem even more enticing. Shunning Rudolph, will her story follow the operatic "unhappy ending", or can she have it all?

That's good.

And tomorrow they promised us | the other five rooms.

We will have the entire floor.

That's very good.

"Dear Countess, please pardon me | for sending these flowers so late...

But I had to get | the little flower girl out of bed first."

Such impudence!

- Good night. | - Good night, Countess.

Hello?

Can't you go to sleep either, Countess?

# Pardon me, madame, if I #

# Seem a trifle bold #

# But my little story #

# Must be told #

#You are very rude #

#Who you are I do not know #

# But no true gentleman #

#Would annoy a lady so #

# Give me a moment, please #

#A moment, please #

# One word, one smile #

# One thrill #

# Fill me with ecstasy #

#And speak to me #

#You should, you must #

#You will #

# I never knew #

#That one like you #

# Could bring me to #

# My knees #

# Lift me #

#And let me rise #

#To paradise #

# For just a moment #

# Please #

# Give me a moment, please #

#A moment, please #

# One word, one smile #

# One thrill #

# Fill me with ecstasy #

#And speak to me #

#You should, you must #

# You will #

# I never knew #

#That one like you #

# Could bring me #

#To my knees #

# Lift me and let me rise #

#To paradise ##

I tell you, she doesn't | even know you're alive.

Certainly she does. | I've written her every day this week.

Yes, and nothing doing.

I don't understand it. | I've tried everything.

No one could be fresher than I was. | I don't know what to do next.

# Give me a moment, please #

#A moment, please #

#A word, a smile, a -##

You, uh -You know this lady too?

Do I know her?

She's, uh, the Countess Mara, | isn't she?

Quite right. Countess Mara. | Lives at the Palace Hotel.

Third floor. Rooms 300-325.

Entrance. 306.

- Where do you live, may I ask? | - At the Palace Hotel, of course.

Uh, formerly I lived | at the Grand Hotel...

But she insisted | that I move to the Palace.

Well, you know what one will do | to please a woman.

Especially when she's so beautiful.

Beautiful? | That hardly describes her.

You have no idea how she looks. How could | you tell, just seeing her on the street?

Of course.

How does a woman look in the morning? | That's the time to tell.

You should see her | in her negligee.

Her neck and her shoulders -

And that lovely blonde hair.

But there's only one drawback- | she has no money.

- What do you mean? | - She has no money at all.

Well, one can't live on fresh air.

You've said enough! | Do you know what you are?

Oh, no, I'm not, I assure you. | For pity's sake, speak low.

I'll do whatever you want. | Only be quiet. Otherwise, I'll lose my position.

Your position? | Who are you?

I'm a hairdresser. | The personal hairdresser of Countess Mara.
