Well, that's 125,000 francs.

But it's beautiful. I'll take it.

Thank you, Madame Colet.

How do you do, Madame Colet?

Good-bye, Madame Colet.

Yes, madame.

No, madame.

No, madame.

Yes, madame.

No, no, Franois. I tell you no.

You see, Franois,

marriage is a beautiful mistake...

which two people make together.

But with you, Franois,

I think it would be a mistake.

Don't be so downhearted, Major.

You're not the only one I don't love.

I don't love Franois, either.

Madame will be ready in two minutes.

I know you don't like me, Major.

To be perfectly frank,

I dislike you... intensely.

But since we have to be in each

other's company this evening...

we might just as well

make conversation.

Well, Major, what's your answer?

For heaven's sake, man, say something!

Tonsils.

# What a day

What a day for the fair #

- # What a day #

- # Softly on the breezes #

# Can't you hear the call oflove #

- # The prince is late #

- # The prince is late #

- # We have to wait #

- # To wait #

# He's late #

# He's late #

Good-bye.

You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Two men of your standing

always quarreling.

Well, he started it.

But you're the more intelligent one.

- That's true.

- Then why did you do it?

Because I hate him.

Because I love you.

You should have more self-control.

- You were in the army.

- Well, he was in the navy.

Good-bye.

I want you to go out and apologize...

immediately.

See here, my good man.

You've been saying good-bye

for the last half hour and staying on.

I wish you'd say,

"How do you do," and go.

Well, he left.

I tell you, apologizing is a gift.

# His royal highness

will soon be here #

- # Hear the sound ofhorses

His highness must be near #

- # Here they come #

- # Here they come #

- # Here they come #

# He will open up the fair #

# Your Highness #

# Hail to you #

# Every star that shines above #

# Seems to say #

# I love you, I love you #

# I love you #

- # I hate you #

- # She hates him #

# Lovely maiden, tell #

# What have you to sell #

# Sweet violets I would like to buy #

# Oh, Prince #

# A happy maiden am I #

- My bag!

- Your bag?

- Yes, my bag.

- Well, well, well,

didn't you take it with you?

- Apparently not.

Don't you know where it is?

- No, no, I'm sorry.

- But you saw it here.

- Yes, yes, I saw it.

- Then where is it?

- Shh!

It couldn't have walked out by itself.

# Promise you will remain #

Bravo.! Bravo.!

- Yes, monsieur.

- I, uh... I would like

to look at some, uh...

- Good morning, Major.

- Good morning.

I, uh... I would like

to look at, uh...

at some, uh... some cuff links.

Very well, sir.

- Nice day, Major.

- Yeah. Mm-hmm.

- You're looking fine, Major.

Samson Raphaelson

Samson Raphaelson (1894–1983) was a leading American playwright, screenwriter and fiction writer. While working as an advertising executive in New York, he wrote a short story based on the early life of Al Jolson, called The Day of Atonement, which he then converted into a play, The Jazz Singer. This would become the first talking picture, with Jolson as its star. He then worked as a screenwriter with Ernst Lubitsch on sophisticated comedies like Trouble in Paradise, The Shop Around the Corner, and Heaven Can Wait, and with Alfred Hitchcock on Suspicion. His short stories appeared in The Saturday Evening Post and other leading magazines, and he taught creative writing at the University of Illinois. more…
