The Merry Widow Page #3

Something will be done.

And tonight. This is a secret.

The cabinet figures that we have

to meet foreign competition.

Therefore,

we're sending a special envoy.

A real man who is not too old.

And knows what to do.

Of course.

The man must be charming,

irresistible.

So she falls in love with him.

And he brings her back to

Marshovia.

Who are you going to send?

Well, we're considering

Count Gabrilovetch.

Gabrilovetch?

Now tell me.

If you weren't married,

if you weren't my wife,

could you fall for Gabrilovetch?

If I weren't married,

if I have to do over again and

have the choice

between you and Gabrilovetch,

frankly, I'll take you.

That shows you

how I think of Gabrilovetch.

He's out.

Who else have you got?

Well, there's Gabrilovetch,

Jerjosh and Mentroloski.

I'll still take you.

Oh, you'll have to

do better than that.

That's what I say,

but the Prime Minister,

he depends too much on

his wife's judgment.

But I say no politics at a time

like this. Let the best man win.

That's what the meeting is for.

I'm expecting a real fight.

Darling, do you think

it will take you all night?

And I could have married

the sultan's daughter.

Good night, dear.

Please, I beg of you.

Control yourself.

And you, too.

I never shriek, your Majesty.

Walls have ears.

You think your servants

hide anything?

Oh. My good name.

Your Majesty,

may I make a suggestion?

What is it?

Let's fool them.

Let's make a rich conversation.

Let's pretend to be social.

Right.

I'll take my hat off you,

your majesty.

We're having a good time.

Fine. Fine.

That's enough.

Let's not make a big win.

That'll settle

the servant problem

Now, let's keep this scandal

between you and you and me.

This must be kept out of history.

Not a soul must know.

Nobody. I swear, not a soul.

We were planning not even to tell

your majesty, isn't that right?

That's the spirit.

Now listen, you.

Be careful.

A firing squad is

too good for you.

Tonight,

you'll be taken to the mountains.

First, your ears will be cut off.

I'll attend to you later.

Yes, master.

No. No, Dolores. That's not right

You know well enough that

I have to go down in history

as Augment the Great.

And how do you cooperate?

Falling in love with the Captain

of the Guard. Oh.

That's hitting below the crown.

You're wrong, Augment.

You're wrong.

I didn't fall in love.

I was defending myself

and splendidly,

but you came back too early.

You didn't give me a chance.

If you have return an hour later,

you'd have found him where

he belongs, outside the door.

How does he compare with

Gabrilovetch?

No comparison, but Gabrilovetch,

Zinchovitch together

and what have you?
