You Were Never Lovelier Page #5

- What are you two whispering about?

- Well, l...

I was saying that if that note

didn't warm Maria's heart...

...the next one, I believe,

may well start a flame within her.

Why, Eduardo, you remind me

of our courting days.

He was always telling me

how I lit a flame in him.

Sometimes I wonder

if it hasn't gone out.

I'll have you know that

I'm twice the man I was.

I would settle for half the man

you were, dear.

Here are the love lyrics you wanted.

The love songs and

the great love letters of Napoleon.

Just put them down and get out.

Sorry!

Right on time, 5:00.

You know, Louise, I'm beginning

to wonder what he's like.

She's in love at last.

I'm going to wear Tony's ring

where everybody can see it.

Now we can be secretly engaged

and tell everybody.

- No orchids for almost a week.

- Sunk again.

I guess we'd better

put our rings back.

Hello.

Oh, hello, Papa.

When did you get back in town?

Just now. How's everything at home?

Oh, we're all right,

but Maria's in the dumps.

Maria, in the dumps? Why?

She hasn't received orchids all week.

No orchids all week?

How stupid of me!

I mean, tell her, of course, that

no one's been making a fool of her.

No, don't tell her anything.

Well, how does she know

the orchid sender didn't get sick?

Well, say hello to your mother.

See you soon. Goodbye.

Dearly beloved...

...although I have been

desperately ill...

...in my delirium, they...

In my delirium,

they told me I asked only for you.

Have you got my number? 3790.

This time, he's shaving.

No, don't bring

a lottery ticket in here.

I can escape to the lobby

for a moment.

- I'll see you there. Right now.

- Did you give him my message?

Yes, and he said to have you arrested

for trespassing if you came in again.

Mr. Davis, give up.

He'll never see you.

Fernando. Send a bellboy

in here immediately.

Mr. Acuna?

There's money

and a note on my desk.

Take them,

buy two magnificent orchids...

...attach the note, then take the

flowers to my home. Is that clear?

Yes, sir. But first, could I see...?

Hurry it up! This is an emergency.

And bring back the change.

Yes, sir.

I'll be back.

"Dearly beloved, dearly beloved...

...dearly beloved, dearly beloved."

- I wouldn't take it so hard.

- I'm not taking anything hard.

Beware of note writers who haven't

the courage to court you face to face.

Even my clock's slow.

No, it isn't. Look, dear. Look.

"For Miss Maria Acuna."

Thank you, sir.

Thank you with all my heart and soul.

You're an angel.

Hoist the anchor, Cecy,

we're in again.

You know, I think

I've seen him before.

Louise, would you be a darling and

pick up the pieces of notes I tore up?
