The Girl Downstairs Page #4

Synopsis: Paul Wagner and Rosalind Brown are in love, but her father doesn't feel Paul's lifestyle will make him a suitable husband for his daughter. When Mr. Brown instructs all the servants in his extensive household, except the missing Katerina Linz, not to let Paul in his house again, Paul dons his chauffeur's clothing and takes Katerina to a local fair where they both have a good time. Paul learns she is a farm girl working temporarily as a scullery maid to earn money to replace a cow that died. He takes her home and sees Rosalind while Katarina fixes something for them to eat. The next day, Rosalind asks Katerina to deliver a letter to Paul because all the other servants are busy. At Paul's apartment, he continues the ruse saying the master is out, but his womanizing friend Charlie arrives and is taken by Katerina to be the Paul Wagner for whom the note is intended.

Me.

Paul!

oh, hello!

Say, I almost didn't know you.

It's me!

So I see.

That's quite a costume.

Cost- oh, my dress.

You like it?

Of course.

It's charming.

Thank you.

Well,

what do you want to do?

Oh, everything.

Ev- I-I-I mean,

if it doesn't cost too much.

It's fun just walking around,

too.

Don't you worry

about the cost.

What do you want

to do first?

What time

do you have be home?

What?

What time

do you have be home?

I don't care! Anytime!

Just a few more left,

folks.

How 'bout you,

mister?

Would you pick one out

for me?

For you?

I want

to give it to someone.

That one.

But - but maybe

it's too expensive

With all those

big stones.

I can manage it.

Never mind.

It's for you,

katerina.

For me?

And I picked out

the biggest one of all.

Ready in a second, sir.

Now, ready?

Ready, ready...

Ah, ah, whoo!

We took one.

Paul:
Katerina.

Tell me,

you've done this sort of thing

Many times, haven't you?

Never.

I've never known

such a wonderful evening.

Never.

Happy?

Mm-hmm.

You, uh,

you wouldn't want to try

The merry-go-round again,

would you?

Now, that's what

we started with.

Oh.

I was only fooling.

oh, why can't

tonight go on forever?

It looks very much as if

it's going to.

Ooh! Oohhh!

It's raining!

Come on! Hurry up!

Oh, dear.

Why didn't I bring an umbrella?

Well, that's all right.

I've got the car.

Car?

Of course. Why not?

But you shouldn't have taken it.

It's not right.

But I got permission to use it

tonight, a special favor.

No. No, paul.

I certainly can't go home in it.

I know what's right.

Good night, paul.

And thank you

for a beautiful evening.

Katerina!

But you can't

walk in the rain!

You'll get

soaked to the skin!

No, I won't.

And I won't ride

in your employer's car.

Look, it's all right,

I tell you, katerina.

Well, you're spoiling

a beautiful evening.

Was it beautiful to you,

too, paul?

Well, of course it was!

All right. Then I'll go.

You better drop me

at the corner.

It's only half a block.

No, I couldn't think

of doing that.

But someone might see me.

Well, what if they do?

Oh, no. No, they...

They'd talk about it,

make fun of me in the kitchen.

I wanted this evening to be

just mine - yours and mine.

I've got to see you

right into the house.

No. No, paul.

Why?

Why are you

so nice to me?

Shh!

Look out

for the milk can!

Oh, don't worry!

I can see in the dark,

like a cat!

Aaah!

Shh!

This way.

shh!

This is my room.

Wait inside till

I bring something to eat.

Paul:
Psst!

They can't hear us,

can they?

No. They're upstairs,

way on the other side.

Paul:
Rosalind!

Rosalind!

Paul! How on earth

did you ever get in here?
