Costa.
How are you?
I'm all right.
I have decisions to make.
But I need certain facts.
Certain assurances
from you about...
about the death of Catherine.
Catherine.
Lovely Catherine.
Noelle...
did you kill Catherine?
Did you kill her?
Who is to say?
Noelle.
Innocent or guilty?
Innocent, Costa.
Innocent.
Noelle!
Noelle!
- Yes, Papa?
- Hurry:
I'm waiting:Coming, Papa:
[Ship Horns Blowing]
- Bye, Mama:
- Good-bye, Noelle:
It's a world of riches:
And it's a world where you belong:
You will see people
and things-
Oh, no:
- What is it?
- Oh, Papa, I'm so nervous:
What is there to be nervous about?
- [Exhales Deeply]
- Did I not buy you a new blouse.
To look beautiful?
Keep in your head
what I've always told you:
You are above the others:
You are a princess:
[Chuckles]
Yes:
I am a princess:Good:
The world is yours:Let the others be nervous: I know better
than anyone else what you have in you, Noelle:
- You will go to the top:
- [Chuckles] Papa, I do love you:
Of course:
Remember:
Lanchon hasa very high-class clientele:
Yes:
But I know nothingabout selling dresses:
Lanchon will teach you:
Be courteous and give
the correct change:
"Monsieur, madame"- Here it is:
The pay, in the beginning,
will be modest:
But, if you look upon this
as an apprenticeship.
You will find it
not altogether unpleasant:
[Clock Ticking]
Then I have the position?
- You do:
- Oh, Papa!
I told you:
I'll get your bag:
Here's your room: Be done in five minutes,
and I shall see you in the kitchen:
[Ship Horn Blows]
[Lanchon]
Noelle, youre better than you think:
And to show you the esteem
in which I hold you.
You may have as a gift.
Any dress from that
new shipment from Paris:
- Really?
- Yes:
Oh! I know exactly the one I want:
Where is it?
- Here:
This one:- Yeah:
[Laughs]Certainly:
Oh, you're beautiful, Noelle:
Beautiful:
Listen to me:
It will be good for you:
- It will be very good:
- No!
[Noelle]
Papa, you sold me to him?
No, that's not right:
We all of us profited:
You got a man who could help you:
He got a girl
I received a small amount of money:
It afforded me that radio.
A new jacket, a cycle, some wine:
And your mother
against whatever comes:
[Ship Horn Blowing]
Noelle, war is coming:
You have beauty:
It's your only weapon of survival:
Use it:
Let the hand under your dress,
wear gold.
And you'll be that much
ahead of the game:
I'm sorry for you, Papa:
You'll be sorry for me only
if you end up with nothing:
End up on a yacht.
In a villa:
Rejoice for me, Noelle:
Go back to Lanchon:
[Bell Tolling]
[Fathers Voice]
Keep in your head what I've always told you:
You are above the others:
You are a princess:
[Tolling Continues]
[Footsteps Approaching]
Noelle:
[Moans]
[Snoring]
[Horns Honking]
One day I really got to thinking:
"Gee, F:
D: R: Needs my help: Well, I could help him:I could go to Washington:"
But getting here was so expensive:
I spent all my money:
Living here's even more expensive,
and I don't have any friends or relatives here, so.
Here I am, living in a room at the "Y"
that'd turn a person into an atheist:
It's 50 cents a day,
and the john's in Philadelphia:
Excuse me, but just what kind of job
are you applying for?
Secretarial:
With Fraser & Associates:It's a very select P: R: Firm:
- Do you think I should
- You seem somewhat, uh, nervous:
Well, I can't type, I can't take dictation,
and I can't handle a switchboard.
