Royal Wedding Page #5

Of course, I'm sorry.

How do you do?

So happy to meet you

at long last.

- My, it's amazing.

- It is rather, isn't it?

I do hope the rooms

are satisfactory.

Oh, they're fine.

It's a miracle you could get them.

Yes quite. The wedding

has backed things up a bit.

But, er, then there are ways.

How's everything

in the theatre?

Oh, seems to be humming.

The dancers are coming to audition

this afternoon. The singers tomorrow.

(Phone rings)

Excuse me please.

Hello. Oh, hello Johnny,

how are you?

Ellen's boat romance. John Brindale.

You know him?

Know the family, very old.

They do say that young John's

a bit of a chaser.

Didn't have to chase very hard

after Ellen. She stood still and waited.

This afternoon, no they're

auditioning all day. Just a minute.

Tom you don't need me

this afternoon, do you?

John wants me to drive down

and see his old country house with him.

I suppose it's alright.

But I thought you'd want to come

and see who you're working with.

Oh, I never notice

anyone but you.

- John.

- I want you home for dinner.

And no dates at night

until after we open.

You come strolling in at four in the

morning, and be tired out next day.

Yes Poppa.

It's all set.

What time will you pick me up?

Ok. I'll be ready.

Bye Johnny.

Shall we?

Yeah. I'll see you at seven

and be back.

- Oh, I will. I will.

- Cheerio.

Goodbye Edgar.

Oh, and if there's anything

you need, do call.

Thank you.

After you...

Tell me old boy, how are things

in the Colonies, these day?

Oh, fine, fine.

These English clothes

are terrific.

Frankly amusing tie.

Yeah.

Got a match?

Thanks. I hear that shaving lotion's

great stuff, do you ever use it?

Oh, every day.

Sorry. I thought you were him.

How odd. Thank you.

I must get back to the office. You know

where the theatre is, don't you?

Sure.

Well I'll see you later.

Cheerio.

Okay.

Well hello again.

I wish

you'd stop following me.

Following you?

I'm not a bit flattered.

Mr. Bowen. I'm Charles Gordon

your stage manager.

Oh, it's nice to see you.

- Everything's ready Sir.

- Oh good.

See that girl in the green dress,

near the end changing her shoes.

Yes Sir.

Let's begin with her. They can each

show me a few steps.

Very good Sir.

- You name please?

- Anne Ashmond.

Thank you.

Will you begin please?

Why, yes.

Miss Anne Ashman.

Will you try a few steps

with me please?

Oh, dear.

Can't you dance

with a partner?

I could

until a moment ago.

Well try. We'll take

something easy to start.

May I have a pick-up please?

You should have seen the expression

on your face, when you saw me.

- How did I look?

- As if I were a dentist.

- You dance very well.
