The Naked Kiss Page #5

- Petticoat Lane?

No, my, uh, pretty little redcoat.

Piccadilly Circus.

And this is for Griff.

- Good evening, Mac.

- Evening, Barney.

Oh, uh, this is Kelly.

Barney's the best martini virtuoso

in the whole state.

Never touches the stuff.

I've heard about you, Miss Kelly.

Highly complimentary.

Well, thank you, Barney.

Well, did the baron come back

loaded with stuff?

Like always.

Foreign gifts from all parts of the world.

Uh - Uh, did he get

what I asked him for?

No luck. He just couldn't find

the male version of Brigitte Bardot.

Well, lead on to the grape, Barney.

Oh, this is the founder of our town.

It's Grant's great-great-grandfather.

He's a doll.

- Hi!

- Hi, Mac.

- Hiya, Mac.

- Hi, Mac, dear. How are you?

- Grant!

- Mac, how are you?

You look wonderful, darling.

Here. I want you to meet the lady

who's making history in orthopedics.

Miss Kelly, Mr. Grant.

- How do you do?

- Pleasure, Miss Kelly.

- Everybody calls me Grant.

- And everybody calls her Kelly.

K-E-double L-Y.

Don't mind him.

He's upset because he struck out.

He's been poking around the hospital

ever since Kelly went into action.

Uh, what about me?

I'm a registered voter.

For those on duty tonight.

And, uh, I'm going to send a load of gifts

to the kids at the hospital tomorrow.

I have something from Venice

I believe you will like...

Miss, uh, K-E-double L-Y.

Thank you.

- Would you like to have a seat, please?

- Thank you.

- Oh.

- Venetian.

Seventeenth century.

From Venice.

I see myself by moonlight

on the Lake of Lucerne...

in a boat wandering

through a leafy alley in a garden...

and Beethoven's hands

playing the "Moonlight Sonata. "

He carved that sonata

out of moonlight.

Was he in love when he wrote it?

Yes.

Did he marry her?

No, he - he never found the wife

he was looking for.

How do you know

he was looking for a wife?

What man isn't?

"A sweetheart is a bottle of wine.

A wife is a wine bottle. "

Did Goethe write that?

- Baudelaire.

- Oh.

Beethoven and Goethe

were good friends.

- Griff doesn't go for Beethoven.

- Griff is tone-deaf.

How did you know?

Well, I - I watched his face

when we were singing the other night.

You sang very well.

I was happy.

"Happiness was born a twin. "

Lord Byron.

My favorite poet.

Kelly, you baffle me.

Intellect is seldom a feature

of physical beauty.

And that makes you a remarkable woman.

The most interesting contradiction

I've met in years.

With a love of poetry -

rare in this age of missiles.

Would you like to visit where Byron

wrote many of his famous sonnets?

Venice?

I'm going to take you there right now.

I took these movies from a gondola.
