The Other Side of Midnight Page #4

only America doesn't know it just yet:

Hmm:

How shall you pay for the dinner?

- Hey, Larry:
Lend me some money, will ya, buddy?

- Steve:

After last night,

I seem to be a little short: Hello:

- Hello:

- I'm Steve Whitney:

And this is Brigitte, um-

French person:

- Oh, and this is, uh-

- Noelle Page:

Flight Lieutenant Larry Douglas,

Royal Connecticut Air Force: How do you do?

Uh, we're charmed

but, uh, still short of funds:

Okay, sport:
Here:

- Get yourself a fresh horse:

- Hey:
Thanks, buddy:

Auf Wiedersehen, Noelle:

So you lied to me:

You have money:

Oh, I always lie:

Uh, the truth makes me nervous:

[Laughs]

Noelle:

It's a very pretty name:

Like, uh, Christmas, yes?

And, of course,

you have no place to stay:

- Mmm:

- Well, I have a place:

Does that sound awful to you?

I don't know:

I think. Maybe:

Well, it's yours:

Listen:
I'll sleep in the ashtray:

- [Chuckles]

- You'll be perfectly safe with me:

It's up to you:

[Chattering]

Home sweet home:

Cleaning lady comes in

every other day and works miracles:

- You see? She cleaned the ashtray:

- [Chuckles]

Well, this is the bed,

as you can see:

This is a chair:

Another chair:

- Here we have the window:

- [Chuckles]

This is the floor:

Uh, this is the ceiling:

The walls:

The doors:

This is a rug:

Another window:

And this is the boy.

And that's the girl:

How will it all end?

The ashtray's a little small:

My feet'll hang over the side, but I can manage:

Or if you're feeling charitable,

we could share the bed:

I'm afraid, Noelle, it's up to you:

[No Audible Dialogue]

[No Audible Dialogue]

[No Audible Dialogue]

[Larry] Yeah:
We had a place in Montauk:

That's the end of Long Island:

- When I was a kid, I used to watch the gulls-

- [Ship Horn Blows]

Flying through the air

over the beach:

Boy, I would have given my soul

to have been up there with 'em:

Yeah:
I knew I wanted to be a flier,

I think, before I could walk:

Then when I was nine.

An old friend of the family

took me up for a ride in a biplane:

Had my first flying lesson

when I was 14:

Oh, God:

There's nowhere like Paris:

Hey:
What is it?

- It's our last day together:

- I know:
Isn't that great?

- Great?

- Yeah:

I mean-You see, the great thing about

the last day is that it also means the last night:

And, Noelle, we will have a last night

to end all last nights, my dear:

- What will it be?

- Well, I see it as something simple:

A small place:

Quiet:
Inexpensive:

.(music) [Jazz]

Larry, there are no prices:

The lady would like

the pheasant under glass.

And I would like the duck

a la Montmorency:

- And, uh, let me know as soon
