---

Eugenie, darling. I'm leaving for Egypt

in an hour and forty-five minutes.

Will you marry me?

What?

I'm going there as secretary of the Consulate.

Marry me, come with me.

Ren's gone for the license.

What license, what are you talking about?

The marriage license.

Quick packing things.

We've just time to get

to the church.

But I couldn't possibly do a thing like that.

You know I couldn't.

Darling, don't you understand?

I may be gone a year, five years.

This may be our last chance.

Oh, Ferdinand, are you insane?

No...

Yes.

Don't you see?

It just isn't possible.

Yes, I see.

I've made an idiot of myself as usual.

Asking you to change your whole life,

marry a nobody

and go to live in a desert.

You're not a nobody.

You never could be.

Never.

It's...

it's just such a leap in the dark

and I...

Oh, darling, you must understand,

you've got to,

you do, don't you?

Yes...

I understand.

Oh...

I wish I could go with you.

No...

I won't ask you again.

It wouldn't be fair.

But please remember this...

Whether I'm here or in Egypt

no matter where I am

I'll always love you.

Goodbye, Eugenie.

Goodbye.

Well, here you are.

I got it.

You know, I had a terrible time...

Oh...

I'm sorry.

Thanks, just the same.

The new gown is ready, mademoiselle.

Take it away. I don't want to see it.

Take it away, mademoiselle?

Yes, yes, Julie, please.

Driver, stop.

Hassan! Hassan!

Hassan! Hassan!

Oh, you bad donkey.

Wait a minute...

Oh, you dirty pig.

Come back at once

or I will cut your heart out.

I beg your pardon?

Oh...

I was talking to Hassan.

Hassan?

Yes, my donkey.

But you'll do.

At your service, mademoiselle.

Make him bring back my little house.

My clothes are in it.

Why don't you come out and

get them yourself?

Shame on you.

My dear young lady, I don't mind seeing you

in your bathing dress.

Oh...

Shame on you.

It's none of your business.

Go away.

Good afternoon, mademoiselle.

Oh, no!

No, monsieur, please, no.

I didn't mean it.

Oh, please, monsieur.

Make him bring back.

Come on, Hassan.

You mustn't keep the lady waiting.

No, no, no!

Don't you know anything about donkeys?

Make believe you want to make him

go forward.

Forward?

Hm-hm.

Forward, Hassan.

On to victory.

Come on.

That's right.

That's the way, come on.

Good!

Now look the other way.

Hey, hey, hey.

I'll be dressed in a minute.

What's your name?

De Lesseps.

Oh, you're the son.

We've been expecting you.

We?

Yes. All the French people here.

We heard you were very good-looking...

And you are.

What's your name?

Marie Antoinette Germaine Fernande Franoise

I'm very happy to know you,

Mademoiselle Prrrr.

Occupation?

Young lady.
