The Barefoot Contessa Page #5

She's gone. She never even went

back to the room. Nobody knows where

- I can't understand it

- We're leaving right now

Without you, Harry

We'll take off in one hour. You

find her and bring her with you

Don't show up without her

Just cable your agent collect...

if you've still got an agent

This is for the check

Kirk was wrong when

he said I didn't know

where scripts left

off and life began

A script has to make

sense, and life doesn't

Any self-respecting script would

have had me swallow Oscar's whisky

and go off on a bat

But it wasn't a script.

Right now, I wish it had been

The script would have made

so much more sense about

all of us than life did

Maria Vargas?

Seora Vargas?

I'm sorry. "No hablo espaol. "

I look for Maria Vargas

Wait a minute. This is important

Mucho importante

Why to find my sister

is so important?

Ah, Doctor Livingstone

- You got cigarettes?

- Help yourself

Keep the pack. I've got more

I'm a film director and I

talked to your sister tonight

about going to America

to play in the movies.

I want to talk to her again

It's good you no understand

my mother. Is liar

Why not fight this out

later? I haven't much time

I don't know what your troubles are

but I must find Maria.

Every minute counts

My mother forbids

Maria to go to America

- What does Maria say?

- I think we can talk better outside

- My brother took all your cigarettes?

- I have another pack

- What did you tell your mother?

- Just now?

Uh-huh

I told her if she said one more

word, I would go to America,

even if I did not want to go

- Are you in trouble with Mr Edwards?

- In a way

- Because I ran away?

- Mm-hm

I do not like Mr Kirk Edwards

You're standing at the

end of a long, long line

Somehow, to me, he

is not a healthy man

Somehow, he's sick

And I cannot bear to

watch sick people be sick

That is why so suddenly

I had to go away

Mr Dawes, do you think

really that I could be a star?

There's one phrase I've

avoided like the plague

because it never worked out

With you, I think it would.

You couldn't miss

I think that I am pretty enough

but I would not want

to be that kind of star

Pretty enough? Any woman that can

use the moon for a key light...

Key light? What is that?

Your own special light when the stage

is all lit up. It shines only on you

- Like the moon

- Like the moon

You must learn how to find

it out of all the other lights

How never to lose it.

How to make it do things

for your eyes, lips and hair

- But this is not acting

- No, this is not acting

And it's not all you

have to learn either

But... if I could act a little

would you help me to become a really
