The World of Suzie Wong Page #3

- Bob Lomax.

- Pleased to make your acquaintance.

- Why don't you sit?

- Thank you.

- Goodbye.

- Thank you.

- Thank you very much.

What a nice fellow.

I'm sorry I'm late, but I got stuck

in a ricksha down the road.

Why you look at picture?

She your girlfriend?

No, someone I'd like to find again.

Why? You crazy mad for her?

She was dear, sweet and innocent.

That's not me. I'm just Wan Chai girl.

What a nice girl you meet on ferry

doing in a place like this I like to know.

So would I.

Glad you haven't lost your purse.

"You want me call officer?

"I virgin. I proud. We on

Hong Kong side now. No talk."

I sure fooled you.

I made you believe I nice rich girl.

- Why?

- I like.

You looking for girlfriend?

I hear you rent room

for whole month.

You want me to be

your regular girlfriend?

I like, but can't afford.

Too bad, because I very popular.

Everybody say, "Where is Suzie,

for goodness' sake?"

You sure you not want me

for permanent girlfriend?

I'll fight it for a while.

You sorry because I'm not that

stuck-up girl on ferry boat.

Month a long time in Hong Kong.

I wait. You'll get lonely.

Mr. Lomax.

Mr. Lomax.

- How do you do?

- Nice to meet you.

I've been expecting you

since I got that letter

from your former associates.

When did you arrive?

- Well, sit down, won't you?

- Oh, thank you. Just yesterday.

I wanted to get settled.

I gather from this letter

you want to become an artist.

I don't know how I can help you.

Well, neither do I, sir.

You look more like an aggressive

businessman than an artist.

That's the trouble. I've been

an architect most of my life,

but it never satisfied me.

I've always wanted to paint,

so I decided to take a year off

- And see if I could.

- Seems a drastic step.

Yes, it is.

I'm going to open an account here

which should take care of my

expenses for about a year.

During that time, I intend to find out

whether I can make a living.

If not, I'll go back

to being a draftsman.

Fair enough.

I'll give you letters of introduction

- And a guest card to my club.

- That's very kind of you.

Come in, darling. I want to

dictate a couple of letters.

All right, dear.

Mr. Lomax, before we jump

to any conclusions,

my secretary is also my daughter.

- Kay, Mr. Lomax.

- Hello.

He's over here for a year, painting.

- Just arrived.

- Welcome.

- Thank you.

- Have you found somewhere to stay?

I stumbled onto a hotel.

Is it comfortable?

It's... convenient.

If you don't mind waiting, I'll dictate

letters that might come in handy.

Thank you.

To whom it may concern.

Whenever you're ready, dear.

- Oh, yes.

- This is to introduce Robert Lomax.

You like me to sit with you?
