Monte Carlo Page #4

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?

- Her hairdresser? | - Yes, sir.

Well! This is getting interesting.

Now you won't do | anything against me?

On the contrary. | I'm delighted to meet you.

- We must see a lot of each other. | - Yes.

We -We have mutual interests.

- We, uh -We must exchange ideas. | - Yes, of course.

- We -We must become friends. | - Oh, yes.

But there. What am I saying?

- We are friends! | - Yes, of course we are!

- Friends. | - Armand.

I want you to meet | a very great friend of mine.

- How do you do? | - How do you do?

Yes.

Who is he?

- You don't know who he is? | - No.

He is her hairdresser...

And I -

I am his very best friend.

Allow me to introduce myself. | My name is Count Rudolph Farriere.

I'm delighted to meet you. | My name is, uh -

Just call me Paul.

Just call him Paul.

Paul?

# Here's a lucky devil | and I surely envy him #

# For his store | of inside information #

# He is in his glory | when a lady wants a trim #

#Work to me is like a recreation #

# Oh, boy, what an occupation #

#Why waste away your youth #

# Searching for the naked truth #

#Why attend a college | Get your knowledge #

#Trimmin' the women #

Ha! | #Who needs a lot of Greek #

#To caress a lady's cheek #

# Couldn't you contrive it | while in private #

#Trimmin' the women #

# Now, if you care for beauties #

# Be a beauty specialist #

# He caresses ladies' tresses #

#And they never resist #

# But why ply another trade #

# Barbers pet and yet get paid #

#You could make a sort of | indoor sport of #

#Trimmin' the women #

Come here.

#Why try to figure out #

#What this world is all about #

# Never mind the great books | Fill your date books #

#Trimmin' the women #

# Shy guys and those who feel #

#That they have no sex appeal #

# Get a lot of chances | for romances #

#Trimmin' the women #

# No hairdresser ever #

# Has to lead a double life #

# Now, he can pet a cute brunette #

#And still be true to his wife #

# But why sigh and yearn so much #

# For the skin you love to touch #

# Satisfy the craving | finger-waving #

#Trimmin' the women ##

Ahh!

I've just heard a puzzle!

It's a hot one.

She jumps on the train. | She comes from the wedding.

The husband is not with her. | She is not dressed.

She has no ticket. | She doesn't know where she wants to go.

And she goes to Monte Carlo!

How old is the hus -

- Oh, you are the new hairdresser? | - Brand-new, mademoiselle.

You may come in.

Try and keep me out.

I hope the countess will like you.

Paul has told me everything about her. | I know exactly what to do.

That isn't what counts. The thing for you | to know is what you mustn't do.

Don't ever try to tell her stories. | Don't mention gambling.
