On the Riviera Page #3

Yes. And still

the souffl has not fallen.

- Oh, Henri. I must go now. You will call me?

- Yes. Same number?

- And if a man answers?

- That is my husband. He will take the message.

- Very touching! Souffl, huh?

- I beg your pardon?

You no-good two-face.

The minute you think my back is turned-

Mademoiselle,

you are making a mistake.

- I'm not the one who makes mistakes.

- But this time you are.

Allow me to introduce myself.

I am Capitaine Henri Duran at your service.

Capitaine Henri Duran!

Do you expect me to believe-

Ah!

You see, the mustache is real.

It's incredible!

Oh, you've come to see Jack.

You're angry with him.

- You do not wish me to be angry with him?

- Please, no.

Ah. I take it you are

interested in him.

Very much.

Mademoiselle, you should not

be interested in imitations.

You have too much to offer yourself.

A beautiful girl like you

should have the real thing.

Capitaine Duran,

are you making love to me?

But of course. What are you doing,

my dear, after the show?

- I have a previous engagement.

Perhaps I could, uh,

persuade you to break it?

You probably could,

but I'm not going to let you.

- Tomorrow night?

- No.

Well, then perhaps

you will come to my villa Saturday evening.

- Certainly not!

- You misunderstand, my dear.

We're having a large reception,

and the house will be filled with people.

Capitaine Duran,

that's a very old one.

I come, and all the other

guests have failed to show up, eh?

Oh, it is my misfortune

that they all will be there.

But please come anyway.

- Here's my card.

- Henri!

- Henri, this telegram- Read it. It is urgent.

- Yes. Just a moment.

- You will come?

- I will think about it.

- Good.

- Good night, Capitaine.

- Good night.

- Will you excuse me?

Antoine just brought it over.

Read it, Henri.

- For heaven's sake, read it!

- Calm yourself, Philippe.

"Regret to advise

Air Europa unable to execute contract...

"for purchase of Victory planes...

"pending further tests.

- Periton."

- He's only fooling, yes?

- I wish he were, Philippe.

- Why should Periton do this? He needs our planes.

Periton is playing a game.

He knows I'm overextended at the bank

and need money desperately.

- If he delays signing the contract, we are ruined.

- Oh!

He will buy our company

for a song and make the planes himself.

- He cannot do this. It would finish us.

- Definitely.

Unless- Unless I can raise

the money from someone else.

- But who?

- Monsieur Alonzo.

Yes! He always liked me.

But suppose he does not give us the money.

Henri, let's take

what we can and fly to South America.

Stop trembling, Philippe. If you look like that,

no one will give us a penny.
