0:05:44 > 0:05:47Pardon me. Are you Maria Williams?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- Yes, I am. - Oh, I'm Anita Hutchins.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Hi.- Hi. Mr Burgoyne sent me down to meet you.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I'm with the agency. Here, let me take your bag.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Thank you.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00We're over here. Come on.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- This is your apartment? - You like it?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32I'm awed!
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Secretaries live very well in Rome. You'll get spoiled after a while. Frances!
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Yes? I'm having breakfast on the balcony. Come on out.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- Welcome to Rome. - Thank you.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Did you have any trouble finding her?- I picked her out first try.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- Have you had any breakfast? - I can't remember.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Then have some with us. Anna!
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Oh, my, oh, my!
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Oh, what a beautiful way to live.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00I'm glad you like it. When Anita leaves, I was going to suggest...
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- ANITA:- I've already told her. - Anna. This is Miss Williams.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04Buon giorno, signorina.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06- SHE SPEAKS IN ITALIAN - How do you do?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08SPEAKING ITALIAN
0:07:08 > 0:07:10What would you like?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- Oh, anything, thank you. - SPEAKING ITALIAN
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Va bene, signorina.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19I don't think I could afford anything as elegant as this, or even half of it.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22I promise you can. You're paid at the agency in dollars.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24The rate of exchange is in your favour.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29- Are you with the agency too?- No, I'm John Frederick Shadwell's secretary.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- The man who wrote Winter Harvest? - Mm-hmm.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- No less.- Mmm. He's a great writer, isn't he?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36He's a great man.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I thought he was dead.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42Most people do, because he hasn't been back to America since his early 20s.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Frances has been with him for 15 years.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Gosh. Oh, when do I meet my boss?
0:07:48 > 0:07:50After breakfast. We'll all drive to work together.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53You'll meet him in plenty of time. There's nothing rushed in Rome.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Oh, I'm going to like Rome, at any rate of exchange.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- What's that? - That's the Fountain of Trevi.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- ANITA: - Do you want to see it?
0:08:20 > 0:08:24If you throw a coin into the pool, you're supposed to get your wish.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Only the wish must always be the same thing - that you'll return again to Rome.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32I've tossed a coin into the fountain every April for the last...15 years.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35It's my spring ritual. It's time to throw one in again.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- Don't you want to wish? - Oh, yes.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Keep me in Rome at least a year, Mr Fountain.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48No! No, no. You have to turn around and throw it over your shoulder.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- Oh. - SPLASHES
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Bring me...another year of contentment...
0:08:53 > 0:08:55whatever gods are listening.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58A penny's worth of hope.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Aren't you going to wish?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03No. I don't want to come back to Rome.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Anita's going home to be married.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Then I don't blame you. Don't tempt fate.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- Good morning, Eleanor. - Good morning, Anita.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36This is my desk. You'll share it with me for the time being.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Oh, when do I meet Mr Burgoyne?
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- I'll see if he's in. - ON INTERCOM: 'Yes?'
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Good morning, Mr Burgoyne. Miss Williams is here. Shall I bring her in?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46'Not at all. I'll come out.'
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- Boss loves to make a good impression. - Any particular instructions?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51No. Just be yourself.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Well, well, well, Miss Williams.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Welcome to USDA.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59I abbreviate the name of the agency. It's the age of the alphabet.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- Oh, I see. Thank you.- We hope you like Rome and the agency.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- Thank you. I'm sure I will. - Good, good, good.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08I thought I'd spend the morning showing Maria how we operate here.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Fine, fine, fine. Oh!
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Mrs Burgoyne is giving a cocktail party this afternoon.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Anita, if you and Miss Williams are not otherwise occupied...
0:10:17 > 0:10:19..Mrs Burgoyne would like to meet Miss Williams.
0:10:19 > 0:10:24- Thank you. I'd love to meet Mrs Burgoyne.- We'll expect you, then.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- Buon giorno. - MAN: Buon giorno, signorina.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Oh. Good morning.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I didn't think you'd be up.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- I've been up all night. - I must say, you look it.
0:11:21 > 0:11:26You might show a little consideration for a man who's just written 20,000 words.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30You've started it.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33I got home at midnight intoxicated with an idea.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36I worked myself into a creative hangover.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- Let me fix you some coffee. - No. No, thanks.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42While you type these up, I'm going to fall into bed.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I'm glad you've given up writing articles...
0:11:44 > 0:11:46..and started back to work on a novel again.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- I was afraid you were afraid. - What do you mean by that?
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Nothing. I was worried for fear the critics had intimidated you after that last one.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- I should have known better. - Of course you should have.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59I write for myself, not the critics.
0:11:59 > 0:12:04You'll be pleased to know the old master is back in stride again.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08I'm rather anxious to hear what you think about the start.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Not only do I consider it magnificent
0:12:11 > 0:12:13but I have a sneaking suspicion it's pretty good.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Get some sleep.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18I'll knock on your door in time for you to make it to the Burgoyne cocktail party.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Not I.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23I have no intention of exposing myself to that dreary assemblage.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26When I get up, I'm gonna stroll through the gardens of the villa
0:12:26 > 0:12:28in solitary contentment.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31But I've already accepted the invitation in your name.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Then jolly well make an excuse in my name.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Do you know what people say when I mention I work for you?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39CHUCKLING Something envious, I presume.
0:12:39 > 0:12:44- They say, "Oh, I thought he was dead."- Do they, indeed?
0:12:44 > 0:12:50You can't be as antisocial as you are and still expect people to know you're alive.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- So they think that I'm dead, do they?- Hmm.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Well, well. CHUCKLES
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Wake me at 4:00.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02I'll make an appearance to prove my public only half right.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06When these come in from Washington, they have to be translated into Italian.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- By me? - Oh, no. We have interpreters here.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Georgio, would you come in for a minute, please?
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Georgio handles our translations for us.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Then they're given to Mr Burgoyne for clearance with the Italian bureau.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- Good morning, Miss Anita. - Oh. Good morning.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Maria, this is Georgio Bianchi. Georgio, this is Maria Williams.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24She'll be taking my place when I leave.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28If I can be of any help, please call me.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30I heard you were returning to America, Miss Anita.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33I shall... We shall miss you.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Oh. Thank you.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Here, would you make a translation of these for Mr Burgoyne, please?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Yes, Miss Anita.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Well!
0:13:48 > 0:13:51I forgot to tell you. There's a policy here.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Secretaries are not allowed to go out with local employees.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58- Mr Burgoyne's policy, if you please. - How do you manage it, then?
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Georgio? We've never exchanged more than two words.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04- He's just part of the office. - Oh.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Does his hand always shake when he gets near to you?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09You're imagining things. He doesn't even know I exist.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Oh! He doesn't know anyone else exists.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15He didn't even notice whether I was a blonde or a brunette.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Well, you're wrong.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- Call him in. - GASPS
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Well, I just want to look at those beautiful brown eyes again.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25- They're not brown, they're blue. - Oh.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28I mean... It's a good thing I'm going home.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31With you around here, I'd be in a puddle of trouble in no time.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Here, sit down and open those for me.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39ORCHESTRA PLAYS
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Mr Shadwell, I don't care what the critics said.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55I want you to know I just adored your last novel.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Unfortunately, there were not enough of you.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Tell me... do you get your best ideas at night? I always do.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Invariably, but hardly material to write about.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07My husband declares that I was simply born to be a writer.
0:15:07 > 0:15:12He says if anyone just took a pencil and followed me around, they'd have a novel.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16My dear lady, I should be delighted to get behind you with a pencil.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Excuse me.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29- ANITA:- We've learned from long experience this is the best way to pass the time.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32So this is Rome, where the pigeons eat caviar.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35And the secretaries eat alone.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Look, did you ever see such a handsome car?
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- You ever see such a handsome man? - It's Prince Dessi.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43A prince? Do you know him?
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- He's a friend of Mr Shadwell's. - Part of the Roman scene.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Um, eligible?
0:15:48 > 0:15:52Dino is handsome, wealthy, and has one of the oldest titles in Europe.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55As long as he has the first two, you won't catch him getting married.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Oh, what a shame. Oh!
0:15:59 > 0:16:01- What's the matter?- Oh, I knocked my purse off the railing.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- I'll ask Dino to get it for you. - Oh, no. Please don't.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- He'll think I did it on purpose. - He won't mind. Dino!
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- Yes?- We dropped a purse from the balcony.
0:16:10 > 0:16:15- Would you mind bringing it up? - With the greatest of pleasure.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19You sure you didn't knock it off on purpose?
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Oh, no, believe me, I didn't. I'm not that quick-witted.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Well, just in case it was instinct
0:16:24 > 0:16:28perhaps we'd better warn our friend about Dino before she meets him.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30He's known as "the predatory prince."
0:16:30 > 0:16:33And girls who are seen in his company more than once are known as Venice Girls.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Why?
0:16:35 > 0:16:38The time comes when he asks you to fly to Venice with him.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Once you're known as a Venice Girl, you might as well go home.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- I hope nothing was broken. - Thank you. It belongs to my friend.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Maria, this is Prince Dessi. This is Miss Williams.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51- How do you do? - How do you do?
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Fresh from the States. Of course, you know Anita.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58- Oh, yes. We met when I first came to Rome.- I remember it with sadness.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03People said bad things about me, and you would not permit me to show you Rome.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Have they been telling you disgraceful things about me too?
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- Oh, no. - That's too bad.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12If only half the things said about me were true, I'd be a happy man.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14- I suspect half of them are. - You see?
0:17:14 > 0:17:17There is a conspiracy against me in Rome. You must excuse me.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20I haven't spoken to my host yet. I'll be back.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24He's nice.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Oh, I don't believe he's the wolf you say.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31- Why, he looks as innocent as a little boy.- Oh, that he does.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33But don't try taking him on your lap to mother him.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38You'll find yourself suddenly screaming for the police.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Well, so much for your first cocktail party in Rome.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- Shall we walk home or ride? - Let's walk.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Do you know something strange?
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Except for that handsome prince...
0:18:03 > 0:18:06..not one attractive man came near us at the party.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10Well, I guess now is as good a time as any to disillusion you.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13If you're romantic, Rome is not the city for you.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14Why not?
0:18:14 > 0:18:18Well, wealthy Italians don't waste their time on secretaries
0:18:18 > 0:18:21and the Italians that work at the agency are too poor.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Oh. No wonder you're going home to be married.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28I'm not even engaged. I gave that as an excuse at the agency for leaving.
0:18:28 > 0:18:33But at least I'm going back to a country where I hope some nice guy will ask me.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36That's why I didn't throw a coin in the Fountain of Trevi.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40Oh, dear. It looks as though I've wasted a perfectly good penny.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Well, which way? This way looks sort of interesting.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- You want to try it? - It doesn't look very respectable.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Good. Let's have a look.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08WHISTLING CHATTERING
0:19:10 > 0:19:12WOLF WHISTLE
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- Anita, somebody pinched me. - Don't look back.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26It's considered an encouragement. Pretend you didn't notice.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Are you kidding? I'll kick him in his antipasto.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32- Oh, let's go. - SPEAKING ITALIAN
0:19:43 > 0:19:46BELL DINGING
0:19:46 > 0:19:51- Georgio! - Oh. Miss Anita.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55We've been waiting for you. I thought you said 7:00. What detained you?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58SPEAKS ITALIAN
0:20:02 > 0:20:04I've been showing Maria the city, and he followed us.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07You shouldn't be in this section unescorted, Miss Anita.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Things can happen that American girls don't understand.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14We understand, all right. A pinch is a pinch in any man's language.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16As long as you are here and I am here, Miss Anita...
0:20:16 > 0:20:18..would you allow me to show you my Rome?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- We'd love to. - Well, sure.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Bene. SPEAKING ITALIAN
0:20:27 > 0:20:29It's strange.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32We have seen each other every day for two years...
0:20:32 > 0:20:35..and yet this is the first time I have ever really talked to you.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37I always thought you didn't like Americans.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41- Oh, no. I thought you didn't like Italians.- Isn't that silly?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43What's that monastery?
0:20:43 > 0:20:46GEORGIO: Oh, no, it's not a monastery. It's a palazzo.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- A palazzo? That's a palace, isn't it?- Mm-hmm.
0:20:49 > 0:20:54- Who owns it?- It's the home of the prince, Dino Dessi.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Oh. Well, you two just drink your wine.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01I'm gonna sit here and look at the palazzo.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Does he live there all alone? - Oh, no.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- Oh.- He lives with his mother, the principessa.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Oh, how sweet.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13But he must get lonely. What does he do for amusement?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Oh, he has diversions. He plays the piccolo.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- He plays what? - The piccolo.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21He's an excellent piccolo player.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24My cousin is his teacher. LAUGHS
0:21:24 > 0:21:27That does it. I think I'll have some wine with you after all.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Good! This is the wine that we drink on our festa.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Have you ever been to an Italian festa, Miss Anita?
0:21:33 > 0:21:35No, I don't think so.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37We are having one at our farm tomorrow...
0:21:37 > 0:21:39..to celebrate my sister's engagement.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42You shouldn't go back to America without seeing an Italian festa.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Uh, if you would like to come too, Miss Williams...
0:21:45 > 0:21:47No, thank you. I have to stay and write some letters.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51My family expect a report from me, and I can't disappoint them.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55- Why don't you go, Anita?- I'd love to, but I don't think I could.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59I know. It's against the agency rules. Oh, but it's only this once.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01You're not gonna let some silly old rule stand in your way.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Well, it isn't that. I have packing to do.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08My cousin has a truck. He is driving in to pick up our relatives in Rome.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11We could ride in the truck, if you didn't mind.
0:22:11 > 0:22:16Oh, all right, Georgio. I'll be darned if I'll spend my last weekend in Rome alone.

0:23:39 > 0:23:43When the driver gives the signal, we must all toot like horns.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47But don't you think it's a little dangerous to drive without brakes and a horn?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Oh, no. We hang a St Christopher medal on the windshield.

0:25:30 > 0:25:34Hello? Yes.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Yes. It's that Prince Dessi.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Dino? How did he ever find this number?
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Well, how did you ever find the number?
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Oh, one has ways.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46I was planning on flying my plane to Venice this morning.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Have you been to Venice?
0:25:49 > 0:25:52He wants to know if I'll fly with him to Venice. What'll I say?
0:25:52 > 0:25:56- Say no. - Yes, I'd love to, but I'm sorry.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58I can't.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02Y... Um... He says we could fly there and be back by tonight.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05That's what he always says, and then he'll have trouble with his propeller
0:26:05 > 0:26:08and you'll have trouble with your reputation.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12- Thank him kindly, but hang up. - Yes, I'd love to, but...
0:26:12 > 0:26:15It's very kind of you, but I'm sorry. I can't.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17- Say yes. - Yes?
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- Yes. - Just a moment. Why?
0:26:20 > 0:26:23You want to see Venice. But tell him you have to be back by tonight.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27- But you just said...- Never mind what I said. Tell him you'll go.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33You will? Oh, I promise you I will get you back tonight.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37And I will do everything I can to see that you enjoy your trip.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Can you be ready in a half hour? Good.

0:27:03 > 0:27:07It's a good omen. Good morning, Miss Frances. It is very nice to see you.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10At the prospect of going to Venice, I could be ready in five minutes.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Oh, I can promise you it will be a trip that you shall long remember.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15So let us not waste any time.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17You don't mind giving Miss Frances a lift, do you?
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Not at all. Where shall I drop you, Miss Frances?
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Venice.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25- Venice?- Well, if it's not too much trouble.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28You see, Frances was going to Venice herself this weekend
0:27:28 > 0:27:32and I thought it might be fun if she came along with us.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34- Oh. - You don't mind, do you?
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Oh, not at all. Not at all.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39But, well, my plane is not a large one...
0:27:39 > 0:27:43..and, well, I'm afraid it would be most uncomfortable.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Well, I suppose I had better take the train after all.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50Oh, that is too bad. I certainly couldn't let you make that trip alone.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54So I'll go on the train with you, and I can meet you in Venice.

0:31:12 > 0:31:15..and dream someday of going away to the city.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19When I first came to Rome as a boy, I threw a coin in the Fountain of Trevi.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22I wanted to return and become a lawyer.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26- What do you think? - You got your wish.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30No. There is something more to the dream than I asked for.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32- CHUCKLES - Well, you'll be a lawyer.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36You'll be a very good one too, I know. I've always liked lawyers.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39That's not what I meant.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44The man you are going back to America to marry...
0:31:44 > 0:31:47..is he, by any chance, a lawyer?
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Well, the truth of the matter is...
0:31:50 > 0:31:54- LAUGHS - Actually, it embarrasses me to have to tell you, Georgio
0:31:54 > 0:31:56but I guess I do owe you an explanation.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59No, you owe me nothing, Miss Anita.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02I have no right to cross-examine you. It was not judicial.

0:38:05 > 0:38:08I really should have stayed at home.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12Nonsense. We agreed this was my chance to see Venice.

0:38:23 > 0:38:26It was the airport. My plane is ready to take off at any time.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30I was just trying to convince Maria that she ought to stay over another day.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34Well, of course, if you two wish to remain, but I have to get back tonight.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38It is regrettable, but I have a meeting with some of my tenants tomorrow.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42If both of you are leaving, there's no point in my staying on here alone.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Alone?
0:38:44 > 0:38:47Under the circumstances, I'm sure that I can make some arrangements.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Oh, no. I don't want you to disappoint your tenants.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14Well, where are you?
0:39:14 > 0:39:17I was just wondering how it would feel

0:39:24 > 0:39:28- Yes, Mr Burgoyne?- 'Maria, will you come into the office at once?'

0:39:38 > 0:39:40Yes, Mr Burgoyne?
0:39:40 > 0:39:43I want to talk to you, Maria.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47We feel, at the agency, that Americans abroad have a responsibility to their country.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50They should always conduct themselves with dignity.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53If you mean about my going to Venice, Mr Burgoyne, I assure you...
0:39:53 > 0:39:57- I was referring to Anita, Miss Williams.- Oh.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00As you know, it is the policy of our agency
0:40:00 > 0:40:03that our secretaries do not go out with the local employees.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07- Yes, sir.- Anita has been violating that rule, hasn't she?
0:40:07 > 0:40:11Why, whatever makes you think that, Mr Burgoyne?
0:40:11 > 0:40:13I saw her going out of the city with Georgio.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16Oh.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19There was some sort of festival in the country and...
0:40:19 > 0:40:23She spent the weekend with him? But she's going back to America to be married.
0:40:23 > 0:40:28Oh, no, she isn't. She only used that as an excuse...
0:40:28 > 0:40:31You... You mean that the situation is such that it became necessary
0:40:31 > 0:40:34for her to create this deception?
0:40:34 > 0:40:37You don't have to answer that, if you prefer not to.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40I'd gladly answer it, Mr Burgoyne.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43Anita has done nothing wrong, I promise you.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Why don't you ask her yourself?
0:40:46 > 0:40:50I will. Thank you for your reassurance, Miss Williams.
0:40:50 > 0:40:55It's only that my interest in my girls here transcends official obligation.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58- Is that all, sir? - Yes, thank you.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07- ANITA:- Yes.
0:41:07 > 0:41:12Yes, but you see, we haven't had any official notification of it yet.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16Yes, sir. Yes. All right.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Via Condore.
0:41:21 > 0:41:2351, yes.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39I can't understand why she said she was going home to get married.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Do you know if she's seen a doctor?
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Such a thing would never occur to me.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47She seems like such a nice girl.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50Nice girls are human, my dear.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Hi.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11- What are you doing? - I'm moving.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15- Anita, what's happened?- How could you have done this to me?
0:42:15 > 0:42:16- How could you? - Do what?
0:42:16 > 0:42:18I don't know what you're talking about.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21What business was it of yours if I went to the country with Georgio?
0:42:21 > 0:42:25What right had you to tell Burgoyne I'm not going home to get married?
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Well, he asked me why... I only thought I was helping you.
0:42:28 > 0:42:32Did you think you were helping by telling him I spent the weekend with Georgio?
0:42:32 > 0:42:35I didn't say it that way.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39Well, he asked me if I wanted to consult his doctor.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41He said the office would be very happy to pay for it.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44He wanted to know how long this had been going on.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Anita, I...
0:42:47 > 0:42:49I'm sorry.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53Well, I'm going home in a few days anyway
0:42:53 > 0:42:57so in the meantime, you stay here in the apartment.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00I'm going to stay someplace by myself.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Will you please listen to me?
0:43:02 > 0:43:05I can't remember what I said to Mr Burgoyne, but believe me, it's been distorted.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08Well, he fired Georgio!
0:43:08 > 0:43:10Oh, no.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13He fired him without a recommendation.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16Jobs are hard to get without a recommendation.
0:43:16 > 0:43:19He wanted to be a lawyer. Now he can't.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22We certainly left him with something to remember us by.
0:43:22 > 0:43:26- Anita! - DOOR OPENS, CLOSES
0:44:14 > 0:44:17- Hello, Georgio. - Anita.
0:44:17 > 0:44:21You should not have come here. How did you find this place?
0:44:21 > 0:44:24I looked your address up in the office files.
0:44:24 > 0:44:28- I cannot ask you in. - Please.
0:44:34 > 0:44:37It's not a good place.
0:44:37 > 0:44:39Burgoyne told me why he fired you.
0:44:39 > 0:44:42I knew the rules. I broke them.
0:44:42 > 0:44:44I cannot honestly say I regret it.
0:44:44 > 0:44:49- What are you going to do? - I shall try for another position.
0:44:49 > 0:44:52Failing that, I can always return to my family.
0:44:52 > 0:44:54It's not hopeless.
0:44:54 > 0:44:59If you'll have to go home, you won't be able to continue your studies.
0:44:59 > 0:45:03Perhaps I shouldn't be a lawyer if I cannot honour simple office rules.
0:45:03 > 0:45:05Look, don't justify Burgoyne!
0:45:05 > 0:45:07This could cost you your career.
0:45:07 > 0:45:10- I'm not gonna let him do it to you. - Anita.
0:45:10 > 0:45:13You must not be angry. I knew what I was doing.
0:45:13 > 0:45:16This happened. I will accept the consequences.
0:45:16 > 0:45:18I'm gonna go back to him and make him take you back.
0:45:18 > 0:45:22You will only convince him he acted wisely in the first place.
0:45:22 > 0:45:24But... I can't just go away...
0:45:24 > 0:45:28..leaving you here to face a problem I created for you.
0:45:28 > 0:45:32You will go back to America, as you have to...
0:45:32 > 0:45:35..and I will return to our farm, if I must.
0:45:37 > 0:45:42Georgio, I have a day or two left before I have to go back.
0:45:42 > 0:45:46Would it help you at all if we spent them together?
0:45:50 > 0:45:52Anita.
0:45:52 > 0:45:54Oh, cara.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12No. What could I offer you?
0:46:12 > 0:46:15I have no job. In the end, you have to leave anyhow.
0:46:15 > 0:46:19- You are not free. - I'm free to do anything I please!
0:46:19 > 0:46:22- You are going home to be married. - I'm not going to be married.
0:46:22 > 0:46:24I'm not even engaged.
0:46:24 > 0:46:28I only told Burgoyne that as a excuse for leaving the agency.
0:46:31 > 0:46:33There is no-one?
0:46:33 > 0:46:36- SHE SIGHS - There's no-one.
0:46:54 > 0:46:56- Come in, signorina. - Thank you.
0:47:00 > 0:47:04- Frances! - Yes?
0:47:04 > 0:47:06- Hello, Maria. - Hello.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08- Should I have phoned?- No, of course not. Thank you, Louisa.
0:47:08 > 0:47:12- What is it? - I can't find Anita.
0:47:12 > 0:47:17I've checked the hotels. She hasn't been back, hasn't been to the office.
0:47:17 > 0:47:20- I'm just worried sick.- Well, I don't think we need worry about it.
0:47:20 > 0:47:24Anita's hurt and unhappy, and she probably wants to be alone for a few days.
0:47:24 > 0:47:27She'll show up. Did you talk to Burgoyne?
0:47:27 > 0:47:29He won't take Georgio back.
0:47:29 > 0:47:31Oh! He's a fool.
0:47:31 > 0:47:34- What can we do? - Nothing at the moment.
0:47:34 > 0:47:37Now, stop worrying about it. It wasn't your fault.
0:47:37 > 0:47:42Look, do you think Mr Shadwell could get Georgio's job back for him?
0:47:42 > 0:47:45- That would help. - Well, we'll see.
0:47:45 > 0:47:49I'm going over to the museum to pick him up now. Why don't you come along.
0:47:56 > 0:47:59- You haven't been to the museum yet?- No.
0:47:59 > 0:48:02Museums I can do without. I was born in one.
0:48:02 > 0:48:04- You were? - Sure.
0:48:04 > 0:48:07My dad had an Indian museum on the highway next to his gas station.
0:48:07 > 0:48:09It was free with 10 gallons of gas.
0:48:09 > 0:48:11This one has a different kind of an attraction.
0:48:11 > 0:48:13What?
0:48:13 > 0:48:17Prince Dino is there with Shadwell discussing some paintings he's donating.
0:48:17 > 0:48:19- Oh.- Wouldn't you like to see him again?
0:48:19 > 0:48:23- He'd just love to see me. - You could discuss art with him.
0:48:23 > 0:48:27That would be a change. What does he collect, nudes?
0:48:27 > 0:48:30No, as a matter of fact, he's mad about modern paintings.
0:48:30 > 0:48:33Oh, that's a side I'd never suspect.
0:48:33 > 0:48:35Why don't you show him you have a side he'd never suspect?
0:48:35 > 0:48:38- Show him you have a mind. - Oh-ho!
0:48:38 > 0:48:41Oh, I love you, but I couldn't fool a fool.
0:48:41 > 0:48:44- I don't know anything about art. - Give it a try.
0:48:44 > 0:48:47You might end up meeting his mother.
0:48:47 > 0:48:49And why should I want to meet his mother?
0:48:49 > 0:48:54Meeting Mama in Italy is the first step to the altar.
0:48:54 > 0:48:59Oh. Well, um, let's discuss art some more.
0:49:09 > 0:49:12Don't forget - neo-impressionism.
0:49:12 > 0:49:16Neo-impressionist. Neo-impressionist.
0:49:16 > 0:49:19Neo-impressionist.
0:49:19 > 0:49:22Harmony of colour...and infinity.
0:49:22 > 0:49:24You'll do.
0:49:30 > 0:49:34How can you say it bores you? You, with your heritage.
0:49:34 > 0:49:37My heritage included a castle with no plumbing...
0:49:37 > 0:49:41..but I happen to prefer running water and modern art.
0:49:41 > 0:49:44You'll forgive me if I don't take your opinion seriously.
0:49:44 > 0:49:48I knew you when you were still running around in three-cornered pants.
0:49:48 > 0:49:50Hello. I'm Maria Williams.
0:49:50 > 0:49:54We met at the Burgoyne's, Mr Shadwell, but I'm sure you don't remember me.
0:49:54 > 0:49:57You're quite wrong. I remember you very well.
0:49:57 > 0:49:59It's the party I've forgotten.
0:49:59 > 0:50:01- How do you do, Miss Williams? - Hello.
0:50:01 > 0:50:05I drove over with Miss Frances. She asked me to tell you she's waiting for you outside.
0:50:05 > 0:50:08Punctuality is the vice of virtuous women. May I drop you?
0:50:08 > 0:50:10No, thank you. I have my car.
0:50:10 > 0:50:13Dino, take the advice of an old friend.
0:50:13 > 0:50:16Don't treat a work of art as you do an automobile...
0:50:16 > 0:50:18..turning it in for a new model every year.
0:50:18 > 0:50:21- We can't live in the past forever. - Exactly.
0:50:21 > 0:50:24Nonsense. We live in the past from the moment we're born.
0:50:24 > 0:50:29Personally, I think heritage can sometimes shackle art.
0:50:29 > 0:50:31Not to forget plumbing.
0:50:31 > 0:50:33- Good day, Miss Williams. - Good day.
0:50:33 > 0:50:36I shall leave heretics to their heritage.
0:50:40 > 0:50:44Well, it's very nice to see you again.
0:50:44 > 0:50:48Oh, I wonder...do you know if the museum has any modern art?
0:50:48 > 0:50:51Modern? In what sense?
0:50:51 > 0:50:54Now you really will think I'm a heretic, but
0:50:54 > 0:50:59I'm passionately interested in the, uh, neo-impressionists.
0:50:59 > 0:51:02- You are? - Oh, I thought you'd be outraged.
0:51:02 > 0:51:05But, yes, I'm mad about them.
0:51:05 > 0:51:08As a matter of fact, I'm a neo-impressionist myself.
0:51:08 > 0:51:12There's a fine collection here. May I show you the room?
0:51:12 > 0:51:15- Well... - This way.
0:51:21 > 0:51:24Unless I miss my guess...
0:51:24 > 0:51:28..sending that girl in to get me was a feminine intrigue of yours.
0:51:28 > 0:51:30- Am I right? - Whatever makes you think that?
0:51:30 > 0:51:33Don't be evasive.
0:51:33 > 0:51:36Dino told me of your interference in Venice.
0:51:36 > 0:51:38What are you trying to be, Mother Goose?
0:51:38 > 0:51:41- Maria is a friend of mine. - And Dino is a friend of mine.
0:51:41 > 0:51:44Let people lead their own lives.
0:51:44 > 0:51:46They have absolutely nothing in common.
0:51:46 > 0:51:50You'd be surprised. Dino's fond of art, and Maria was born in a museum.
0:51:50 > 0:51:53- She was born where? - Ask her yourself.
0:51:53 > 0:51:57Her father is curator of a museum out west.
0:51:57 > 0:52:00You're right. I am surprised.
0:52:10 > 0:52:14- Do you like it? - How can you ask?
0:52:14 > 0:52:18- Does it speak to you? - Oh, yes, definitely.
0:52:18 > 0:52:22Well, then, what does it tell you? What does it say?
0:52:22 > 0:52:27Well, different pictures say different things to different people.
0:52:27 > 0:52:31Yes, but the right paintings say the right things to the right people.
0:52:31 > 0:52:34Yes, and you're so right.
0:52:34 > 0:52:37Well, this...
0:52:37 > 0:52:41Now, this seems to have a... a feeling of space.
0:52:41 > 0:52:46Those lines that carry you off into the distance.
0:52:46 > 0:52:50Oh, infinity is...is so lonely.
0:52:50 > 0:52:53Yes, it makes me want to cry.
0:52:53 > 0:52:56You surprise me.
0:52:56 > 0:53:00I could not have put it better myself.
0:53:00 > 0:53:03Oh, well, you mustn't let me keep you.
0:53:03 > 0:53:06I'm just going to sit here a while and absorb it.
0:53:06 > 0:53:09If I may, I'll sit here and absorb also.
0:53:31 > 0:53:34- It was such an enjoyable afternoon. - What are you going to do now?
0:53:34 > 0:53:37Now?
0:53:37 > 0:53:40Well, I'm going to go inside and sit down and just think quietly
0:53:40 > 0:53:44about all those lovely paintings.
0:53:44 > 0:53:46You must think me silly to feel so deeply about art.
0:53:46 > 0:53:49Oh, not at all. One seldom meets an American girl
0:53:49 > 0:53:51with your sensitivity, your sense of appreciation.
0:53:51 > 0:53:53It's wonderful.
0:53:53 > 0:53:57Well, if that is so it's probably because I'm half Italian.
0:53:57 > 0:54:00- You are half Italian? - Well, actually, three-quarters.
0:54:00 > 0:54:03But I resemble my Irish grandmother.
0:54:03 > 0:54:05LAUGHING Now, imagine! Three-quarters.
0:54:05 > 0:54:08Mmm, well, that's why I took this job in Rome.
0:54:08 > 0:54:12I wanted to be near my own kind.
0:54:12 > 0:54:15Well, thank you again for dropping me here. I must hurry in.
0:54:15 > 0:54:18Now, I shall see you again?
0:54:18 > 0:54:21I don't know. You see, I'm rather afraid of you.
0:54:21 > 0:54:25- Afraid? Of me?- Oh, not because of your reputation.
0:54:25 > 0:54:29But, you see, I've discovered you have an exciting mind.
0:54:29 > 0:54:33Something that handsome men rarely have.
0:54:33 > 0:54:36The combination might be too much for someone as responsive as I am.
0:54:36 > 0:54:39Well, goodbye, and thank you again.

0:55:13 > 0:55:16- He is a friend of the signorina's? - Oh, yes.
0:55:16 > 0:55:20I'm giving a small dinner party for him, and I thought you might be able to tell me
0:55:20 > 0:55:22what his favourite dish is.
0:55:22 > 0:55:27Of course. He is particularly fond of saltimbocca alla Romana.
0:55:27 > 0:55:29Oh. Just a moment.
0:55:29 > 0:55:31- Saltimbocca... - Alla Romana.
0:55:31 > 0:55:34Alla Romana. And his favourite wine?
0:55:34 > 0:55:38Oh... Oh, yes. Lacrima Christi.
0:55:38 > 0:55:41Lacrima Christi.
0:55:42 > 0:55:44Thank you. Thank you very much.
0:55:44 > 0:55:46Would the signorina like to order now?
0:55:46 > 0:55:50Yes. I'll have a cup of coffee, please.
0:55:50 > 0:55:52A cup of coffee.
0:55:52 > 0:55:55It is his favourite opera, signorina. This I know.
0:55:55 > 0:55:59Oh, no. No, I know that he likes, uh, Wagner.
0:55:59 > 0:56:03Wagner? That is impossible! He likes Italian opera.
0:56:03 > 0:56:06I heard, myself, him say many times...
0:56:06 > 0:56:09..that German music assails the ear with its fists.
0:56:09 > 0:56:12Italian caresses with its fingertips.

0:57:28 > 0:57:32- Ah, my friend. You must sit with us. - I can only stay a moment.
0:57:32 > 0:57:35I'm with the Burgoynes, and I wouldn't want to inflict them on you.
0:57:35 > 0:57:38- How do you do, Miss Williams? - How do you do?
0:57:38 > 0:57:42- I saw you at the opera. Did you enjoy it? - Rossini is one of her favourites.
0:57:42 > 0:57:46Indeed. I do wish Alvarez were less limited in his tessitura.
0:57:46 > 0:57:51- Don't you? - Do you?
0:57:51 > 0:57:55- No. No, not at all. - I don't either.
0:57:55 > 0:57:58But surely you disagree about the various tempi of the conductor?
0:57:58 > 0:57:59Why?
0:57:59 > 0:58:03Now, my friend, we found no fault with this performance.
0:58:03 > 0:58:07- You cannot spoil it for us.- Oh, I'm sure Mr Shadwell wouldn't do that.
0:58:07 > 0:58:10- I-It's just that he's a perfectionist.- Thank you.
0:58:10 > 0:58:13I know that from your books.
0:58:13 > 0:58:15- Which one? - All of them.
0:58:17 > 0:58:21Well, you've certainly covered a lot of territory.
0:58:21 > 0:58:24Dino, you're in the hands of an expert.
0:58:24 > 0:58:26Good evening, Miss Williams. Arrivederci, caro.
0:58:26 > 0:58:29Ciao.
0:58:31 > 0:58:33He likes you.
0:58:33 > 0:58:37And I'm glad, because he's my friend.
0:58:37 > 0:58:39Now, what shall we have?
0:58:40 > 0:58:42Well, I know this is mad...
0:58:42 > 0:58:45..but I would just love some saltimbocca alla Romana.
0:58:45 > 0:58:48Excellent! Saltimbocca alla Romana is a favourite of mine.
0:58:48 > 0:58:52Now, what would you like to drink with it?
0:58:52 > 0:58:55Do you suppose they'd have some Lacrima Christi?
0:58:55 > 0:58:57But of course!
0:58:57 > 0:59:00Maria, it is astounding how much we have in common.
0:59:00 > 0:59:03- CHUCKLES - Well, you're very kind.
0:59:03 > 0:59:06Italians certainly have mastered the art of gallantry.
0:59:06 > 0:59:08But it's true.
0:59:08 > 0:59:11It's sweet of you to say so, but you needn't pretend that you like everything I like.
0:59:11 > 0:59:13It's too tiresome for you.
0:59:13 > 0:59:18But I swear it's true. I can think of nothing on which we disagree. It's amazing.
0:59:18 > 0:59:21You really are a nice person.
0:59:21 > 0:59:25You try so hard to make a girl feel that she's chosen the right thing.
0:59:25 > 0:59:27Whether it's true or not isn't important.
0:59:27 > 0:59:30It's the motive that counts. Don't you think so?
0:59:30 > 0:59:33Of course. Which proves that we agree on everything.

1:03:03 > 1:03:07- Will you have a cigarette? - No, thank you.
1:03:13 > 1:03:17- CLEARS THROAT - It's a lovely day, isn't it?
1:03:17 > 1:03:21I want to tell you, I was predisposed to like you.
1:03:21 > 1:03:22You were? Why?
1:03:22 > 1:03:24You have made my son happy. For that, I am grateful.
1:03:24 > 1:03:27Oh, I shall not live forever.
1:03:27 > 1:03:31It was a matter of concern to me that he should depend on me for understanding.
1:03:31 > 1:03:34- Well, I really haven't...- My son tells me you are half Italian.
1:03:36 > 1:03:39Oh, yes, uh, actually three-quarters.
1:03:39 > 1:03:42Your father?
1:03:42 > 1:03:46Yes, but, um, I-I really didn't know him. He died when I was a baby.
1:03:46 > 1:03:50A pity. My son also lost his father when he was a child.
1:03:50 > 1:03:53You both have an early tragedy in your lives.
1:03:53 > 1:03:57It is good that two people should start with understanding.
1:03:57 > 1:03:59Yes, I-I guess so.
1:03:59 > 1:04:02Dino, you are much too quick.
1:04:02 > 1:04:06Now, Mother, I shall tell you something that will amaze you.
1:04:06 > 1:04:09Do you know that she plays the piccolo?
1:04:09 > 1:04:11I am amazed.
1:04:11 > 1:04:14Well, I don't, really. I'm just beginning.
1:04:14 > 1:04:16Oh, you are modest.
1:04:16 > 1:04:19Dino, bring us some wine. We shall drink a toast.
1:04:19 > 1:04:22Do you know what wine she likes? Lacrima Christi!
1:04:22 > 1:04:24- No! - Yes.
1:04:24 > 1:04:26- Yes? - Yes.
1:04:26 > 1:04:29- No. - Yes!
1:04:33 > 1:04:36I'm very glad that you like my mother.
1:04:36 > 1:04:38How could I help but like her?
1:04:38 > 1:04:43She's the only woman I've ever trusted completely...until I met you.
1:04:43 > 1:04:45Oh.
1:05:04 > 1:05:07EMERGENCY BRAKE SETS ENGINE OFF
1:05:12 > 1:05:15There is something I would like to say to you, Maria.
1:05:15 > 1:05:16Yes?
1:05:16 > 1:05:20But first I should like to explain to you that...
1:05:20 > 1:05:23..what experiences I have had in my life before
1:05:23 > 1:05:25have left me...suspicious.
1:05:25 > 1:05:28But you're not the least bit suspicious.
1:05:28 > 1:05:32- That's one of the things I like about you.- I hide it well.
1:05:32 > 1:05:34But always beneath...
1:05:34 > 1:05:36..there was cynicism.
1:05:36 > 1:05:39I say "was," because since knowing you it is gone.
1:05:39 > 1:05:43Oh, Maria, it is good to be free of doubt...
1:05:43 > 1:05:46..to find someone that you can trust completely.
1:05:46 > 1:05:49- Dino, I-I think... - No, wait.
1:05:49 > 1:05:52First I want to tell you something.
1:05:52 > 1:05:56Here, where the heart asks only to be trusted...
1:05:56 > 1:05:58I must tell you, Maria, that I...
1:05:58 > 1:06:01Dino, please don't say anything more.
1:06:03 > 1:06:06Could it be possible that I misunderstood how you feel?
1:06:06 > 1:06:08- Oh, no. - Then why should I not speak?
1:06:11 > 1:06:15Because there's something I have to tell you first.
1:06:15 > 1:06:18This may hurt you, but I must say it.
1:06:19 > 1:06:22Oh, Dino.
1:06:24 > 1:06:27I've lied to you from the first moment we met.
1:06:27 > 1:06:32I've done nothing to restore your faith or your trust.
1:06:32 > 1:06:35I went after you with a well-organized system.
1:06:37 > 1:06:40- You are making a joke. - No, I'm not.
1:06:40 > 1:06:43Look. Look, I... I...
1:06:44 > 1:06:47I made a record...
1:06:47 > 1:06:49..of everything about you...
1:06:49 > 1:06:51..what pleased you or what displeased you.
1:06:51 > 1:06:56And then I pretended to like everything that you liked -
1:06:56 > 1:07:00music and food, everything.
1:07:01 > 1:07:07And you...you were as trusting as a lamb. You didn't have a chance.
1:07:09 > 1:07:12- I cannot believe this. - Well, it's true.
1:07:12 > 1:07:16Look, I don't know opera from boogie...
1:07:16 > 1:07:20..or Lacrima Christi from Corpus Christi.
1:07:20 > 1:07:22And I loathe the piccolo.
1:07:23 > 1:07:26Dino, if...
1:07:26 > 1:07:29- I'm sorry. - ENGINE STARTS
1:07:41 > 1:07:44- Anita! When did you get back? - Last night.
1:07:44 > 1:07:46- Does Maria know? - Yes.
1:07:46 > 1:07:49Oh, I'm glad to see you. We've looked for you in every hotel in Rome.
1:07:49 > 1:07:53Maria told me. I've been in the country with Georgio's family.
1:07:53 > 1:07:57We're trying to get Burgoyne to take Georgio back.
1:07:57 > 1:08:01He'll apologise to you for all those nasty suspicions before you leave.
1:08:01 > 1:08:04He owes me no apology.
1:08:04 > 1:08:06Anyway, I'm going home as planned.
1:08:06 > 1:08:08What about Georgio?
1:08:08 > 1:08:11What about him?
1:08:11 > 1:08:13Had you thought of staying and marrying him?
1:08:13 > 1:08:16He doesn't think we should.
1:08:16 > 1:08:19But you're obviously in love with him.
1:08:19 > 1:08:22Well, he's dreadfully poor.
1:08:22 > 1:08:25Even with his job, he can barely support himself.
1:08:25 > 1:08:29He'd have to give up his studies or take me to live with his people.
1:08:29 > 1:08:32He says either way it wouldn't work.
1:08:32 > 1:08:35- Well, how do you feel about it? - SOBS
1:08:35 > 1:08:37Oh, my darling!
1:08:37 > 1:08:39I'm so sorry.
1:08:39 > 1:08:42Is there anything I can do?
1:08:42 > 1:08:44Just leave me alone, please.
1:08:59 > 1:09:02- Well, what are you doing? - Packing.
1:09:02 > 1:09:05I can see that. But why?
1:09:05 > 1:09:07I'm going home.
1:09:07 > 1:09:09I'm going back with Anita.
1:09:10 > 1:09:13He hasn't even tried to see me.
1:09:13 > 1:09:16Oh, dear.
1:09:18 > 1:09:23Never knew I could feel this way. It's pretty awful.
1:09:23 > 1:09:26I know it is. It's awful, for both of you.
1:09:28 > 1:09:31I hope you won't mind being alone in the apartment...
1:09:31 > 1:09:34..but I couldn't stay on, you know.
1:09:34 > 1:09:36Of course not.
1:09:38 > 1:09:42I'm glad I'm not young and vulnerable any more.
1:09:48 > 1:09:52- KNOCKING - Yes?
1:09:52 > 1:09:54I have brought the signorina a present.
1:09:54 > 1:09:58Why, Louisa, how nice of you. Thank you.
1:09:58 > 1:10:00- KITTEN MEWLS - Why, Louisa!
1:10:00 > 1:10:02Whatever made you do this?
1:10:02 > 1:10:06Oh, he's a dear little thing.
1:10:06 > 1:10:09We have worried about your being alone, signorina.
1:10:09 > 1:10:12Is he old enough to be taken away from his mother?
1:10:12 > 1:10:15Oh, yes. My sister say the age is right.
1:10:15 > 1:10:19She's... How do you say? Oh. A maiden lady.
1:10:19 > 1:10:22She has many cats. She would not be without one.
1:10:22 > 1:10:25She talks to them from morning till night...
1:10:25 > 1:10:28..just as if they were people.
1:10:28 > 1:10:30Does she, indeed?
1:10:30 > 1:10:33I will bring you a box to take it home in.
1:10:33 > 1:10:35Thank you, Louisa.
1:10:38 > 1:10:41KITTEN CONTINUES MEWLING
1:10:55 > 1:10:57LOUD MEOW
1:10:59 > 1:11:01Oh, no, my friend.
1:11:03 > 1:11:07It hasn't come to that yet. You're dear and small.
1:11:07 > 1:11:11But I'm not going to turn to you out of loneliness.
1:11:13 > 1:11:16- Good morning, Miss Frances. - Good morning.
1:11:16 > 1:11:18- Where did that come from? - Louisa gave it to me.
1:11:18 > 1:11:21- Why? - Why shouldn't she?
1:11:21 > 1:11:23All the old maids in Rome have cats.
1:11:23 > 1:11:27I've seen them in the evening in the courtyard, feeding them leftover spaghetti.
1:11:27 > 1:11:30That sounds rather waspish.
1:11:30 > 1:11:33Will you be able to type up last night's pages for me this morning?
1:11:33 > 1:11:35Yes.
1:11:35 > 1:11:37- Is anything the matter? - No.
1:11:37 > 1:11:39You seem a bit curt this morning.
1:11:39 > 1:11:41I've come to a reluctant decision.
1:11:41 > 1:11:44- I'll talk to you about it later. - Moral cowardice?
1:11:44 > 1:11:46Very well.
1:11:46 > 1:11:49I've decided I want to go back to America.
1:11:49 > 1:11:52CHUCKLING Why?
1:11:52 > 1:11:54Well, why shouldn't I?
1:11:54 > 1:11:57- Have I done anything to offend you? - No.
1:11:57 > 1:12:00Then you have no possible reason for wanting to go back to America.
1:12:00 > 1:12:03I've been away for 15 years. I want to go home.
1:12:03 > 1:12:06- Would you like a holiday? - No.
1:12:06 > 1:12:08I'd like to finish this work for you.
1:12:08 > 1:12:10Then I'd like to go have my passport checked.
1:12:10 > 1:12:12This is nonsense.
1:12:12 > 1:12:15What would you go back to? You've no relations.
1:12:15 > 1:12:18You'd live alone in a hotel room, go to concerts on Sunday
1:12:18 > 1:12:21and work for some dull-witted business executive.
1:12:21 > 1:12:24- What is attractive about that prospect?- Nothing.
1:12:24 > 1:12:28- Nevertheless, I am going home. - Oh.
1:12:28 > 1:12:30What about me?
1:12:30 > 1:12:35How am I going to get along without you? I've come to depend upon you.
1:12:35 > 1:12:38I dislike change. I dislike new faces.
1:12:38 > 1:12:41Friends of mine are going back, and I want to go with them.
1:12:41 > 1:12:45Maybe a hotel room alone in New York will be hard to take.
1:12:45 > 1:12:48But the prospect of becoming a lonely old maid...
1:12:48 > 1:12:51..with a life behind her, a stranger in a foreign country...
1:12:51 > 1:12:53isn't much to look forward to either.
1:12:53 > 1:12:55And who knows?
1:12:55 > 1:12:59Perhaps some nice old man will want to marry me after all.
1:13:01 > 1:13:04Have you ever considered the possibility of marrying me?
1:13:04 > 1:13:08Every woman considers that prospect with every man she meets.
1:13:08 > 1:13:10I'm quite serious.
1:13:10 > 1:13:13I would guarantee you the companionship you want.
1:13:13 > 1:13:17You've certainly had time to get used to me. There would be no surprises.
1:13:17 > 1:13:20You know me too well.
1:13:20 > 1:13:22I have enormous respect for you.
1:13:22 > 1:13:24You add greatly to my comfort.
1:13:24 > 1:13:29In fact, you're about the only woman I know to whom I would make such a rash offer.
1:13:32 > 1:13:37A marriage...based on friendship?
1:13:37 > 1:13:40The Chinese marry as total strangers. At least we met.
1:13:40 > 1:13:44- CHUCKLES - And suppose you should wake up one bright morning and discover
1:13:44 > 1:13:47that I was desperately in love with you.
1:13:47 > 1:13:49Wouldn't you find that rather disturbing?
1:13:49 > 1:13:54The possibility of arousing unsuspected passion at my age would be not only disturbing
1:13:54 > 1:13:56but rather miraculous.
1:13:57 > 1:14:01Would you care to think this over for a day or two?
1:14:01 > 1:14:04Are you sure you wouldn't?
1:14:04 > 1:14:07The offer is quite genuine...
1:14:07 > 1:14:09..if a bit casual.
1:14:09 > 1:14:12Then my acceptance is quite casual
1:14:12 > 1:14:15but a bit genuine.
1:14:17 > 1:14:20Thank you.
1:14:20 > 1:14:23I'm sure we'll be quite compatible.
1:14:27 > 1:14:29- Grazie, Anna. - Prego, signorina.
1:14:38 > 1:14:41- Hi! - Hi.
1:14:41 > 1:14:45I'm just writing my folks that I'm bringing you home to stay a while with us.
1:14:45 > 1:14:47But I'm not going home after all.
1:14:47 > 1:14:49- But you said this morning... - That was a hundred years ago.
1:14:49 > 1:14:53I've decided to stay and get married.
1:14:53 > 1:14:56- No! - Isn't it ironic?
1:14:56 > 1:14:59You're both so young and so lovely
1:14:59 > 1:15:02but of the three of us I'm to be the bride.
1:15:02 > 1:15:04- Shadwell? - Who else?
1:15:04 > 1:15:06- No! - LAUGHING
1:15:06 > 1:15:09- Oh, that's wonderful. How did it happen?- I don't know.
1:15:09 > 1:15:11I really don't know.
1:15:11 > 1:15:16After being in love with him for 15 years, this silly man has asked me to marry him.
1:15:16 > 1:15:19Have you ever heard of anything so absurd?
1:16:21 > 1:16:24INTERCOM BUZZES
1:16:31 > 1:16:34- Good morning! - Good morning, Louisa.
1:16:34 > 1:16:37I brought these flowers. Will you put them in a vase, please?
1:16:37 > 1:16:42- Is Mr Shadwell up yet?- He's up and gone out. His door was open.
1:16:42 > 1:16:45Have breakfast ready for him. He's probably just gone for a walk.
1:16:45 > 1:16:47Yes, signorina...
1:16:47 > 1:16:52Oh, the signorina has a new dress! It is very pretty.
1:16:52 > 1:16:54Maybe a...a little too young.
1:16:54 > 1:16:57Oh, it is spring, signorina!
1:16:57 > 1:16:59LAUGHING
1:17:12 > 1:17:16You should have come to me the first time this happened, my friend.
1:17:16 > 1:17:18That would hardly have been possible.
1:17:18 > 1:17:21I've had headaches all my life.
1:17:21 > 1:17:23What do I do now?
1:17:23 > 1:17:26I would advise you to go to America. Dr Weisner is there now.
1:17:26 > 1:17:30- He has managed, in these cases, to delay...- No, thank you.
1:17:30 > 1:17:34- I have no desire to prolong uncertainty.- Think about it a while.
1:17:34 > 1:17:37I prefer to think how best to spend this year allotted me.
1:17:37 > 1:17:40One is not infallible in matters of time.
1:17:40 > 1:17:44I don't think I shall work today, Dr Martinelli.
1:17:44 > 1:17:47There's never any preparation for a death sentence, is there?
1:17:47 > 1:17:50There is a lifetime.
1:17:50 > 1:17:53That sounds like something I might have written.
1:17:53 > 1:17:56- Goodbye, Doctor. Thank you. - Goodbye.
1:18:17 > 1:18:18Come.
1:18:18 > 1:18:21Mr Hoyt, there's a gentleman here to see you about something.
1:18:21 > 1:18:23Come in, sir.
1:18:23 > 1:18:25- Thank you. Mr Hoyt? - That's me, sir.
1:18:25 > 1:18:28- I'm John Frederick Shadwell. - Won't you sit down?
1:18:28 > 1:18:30That's interesting. Same name as the writer.
1:18:30 > 1:18:32- I am the writer. - You are?
1:18:32 > 1:18:34Well, I'm one of your fans.
1:18:34 > 1:18:37- That's good to hear.- Looking for material for a new novel?
1:18:37 > 1:18:41Just information. I want to know what must be done to ship a body to America.
1:18:41 > 1:18:44Well, you've come to the right man. That's my specialty.
1:18:44 > 1:18:47- I handle former citizens. - LAUGHING
1:18:47 > 1:18:50- You seem to enjoy your work. - Oh, I don't mind it.
1:18:50 > 1:18:53Other vice-consuls have clients who talk back. Mine don't.
1:18:53 > 1:18:56An obvious advantage.
1:18:56 > 1:19:00Now then, I should like to know the exact procedure in having a body shipped home.
1:19:00 > 1:19:03Well, first I must have a letter making the request.
1:19:03 > 1:19:06- Who writes the letter? - That's a good question.
1:19:06 > 1:19:08The regulations say a close relative.
1:19:08 > 1:19:11Then I must have a certificate from the doctor,
1:19:11 > 1:19:14a notarized report for the American port of entry,
1:19:14 > 1:19:17then permission from the city of Rome and an export license.
1:19:17 > 1:19:19Sounds quite complicated.
1:19:19 > 1:19:21Dead or alive, there's still a lot of red tape to it.
1:19:21 > 1:19:24Thank you, Mr Hoyt. I shan't detain you any longer.
1:19:24 > 1:19:27I assume this is all for a new story of yours.
1:19:27 > 1:19:29- There actually is no body. - Oh, there's a body, all right.
1:19:29 > 1:19:32- Is there? Whose? - Mine.
1:19:32 > 1:19:35Good day, sir.
1:19:35 > 1:19:37DOOR OPENS, CLOSES
1:19:42 > 1:19:45You were up early this morning.
1:19:45 > 1:19:47- You want your breakfast? - Not at the moment.
1:19:47 > 1:19:49- I finished these pages. - Thank you.
1:19:49 > 1:19:52Is anything the matter?
1:19:52 > 1:19:55- I've had a very bad night. - Let me get you some coffee.
1:19:55 > 1:19:59I was quite concerned over this impulsive discussion we had about marriage yesterday.
1:19:59 > 1:20:02This morning I realised you could not possibly have taken me seriously.
1:20:02 > 1:20:05Why not?
1:20:05 > 1:20:08Because you have too much self-respect to consider seriously
1:20:08 > 1:20:11the offer of a man who is interested only in keeping his secretary.
1:20:11 > 1:20:15You handled it extremely well, and my admiration for your tact is boundless.
1:20:16 > 1:20:19- Should I have reacted otherwise? - No.
1:20:19 > 1:20:23Of course you should go home, since it is so important to you.
1:20:23 > 1:20:27In fact, the sooner you can make arrangements, the more convenient it'll be for me.
1:20:27 > 1:20:30I want to go to Capri for the summer, and I'd like to get away as soon as possible.
1:20:30 > 1:20:32Aren't you going to finish the novel?
1:20:32 > 1:20:35No, I seem to have lost interest in it at the moment.
1:20:35 > 1:20:38So, if you can book passage...
1:20:38 > 1:20:41..I promise not to place any more embarrassing obstacles in your path.
1:20:42 > 1:20:46And you do forgive me for my selfish panic?
1:20:46 > 1:20:48Of course.

1:22:31 > 1:22:33Yes, signore?
1:22:33 > 1:22:37I should like a bottle of scotch, some ice and a siphon of soda.
1:22:37 > 1:22:40Sorry, sir. No bottles.
1:22:40 > 1:22:42Why not?
1:22:42 > 1:22:44Drinks, yes, but no bottles.
1:22:44 > 1:22:47Very well, my friend.
1:22:47 > 1:22:50Bring me six double scotches, and line them up before me.
1:22:50 > 1:22:52Very good, sir.
1:23:08 > 1:23:11Are you, by any chance, following me, Miss Frances?
1:23:11 > 1:23:14- Yes. - May I ask why?
1:23:17 > 1:23:21Dr Martinelli called after you left.
1:23:21 > 1:23:23I see.
1:23:23 > 1:23:28Is what you learned from him the reason you changed your mind about us?
1:23:28 > 1:23:31I suppose it's quite natural for you to assume that.
1:23:31 > 1:23:34But the truth is, it had nothing to do with it.
1:23:34 > 1:23:38It was one of those unfortunate coincidences.
1:23:38 > 1:23:41Oh.
1:23:41 > 1:23:45He told me he suggested you return to America. You will go.
1:23:45 > 1:23:47My dear Miss Frances, my life, my career
1:23:47 > 1:23:50has been founded on facing facts as I discover them
1:23:50 > 1:23:52never by wishful thinking.
1:23:52 > 1:23:55I've no intention of seeking a dubious year of grace.
1:23:55 > 1:23:58But in an extra year's time perhaps the doctors will have discovered an answer.
1:23:58 > 1:24:01Cures must be discovered sometime.
1:24:01 > 1:24:05I shall accept my fate with as much good grace as I can muster.
1:24:09 > 1:24:12- What do you intend to do with those?- I intend to get drunk.
1:24:12 > 1:24:16- Why? - I've been cautious too long.
1:24:23 > 1:24:25I'm sorry that you've learned about this.
1:24:25 > 1:24:29But since you have, you can be of great service to me.
1:24:29 > 1:24:33I intend to spend the time I have left here in Rome, where I've lived most of my life.
1:24:33 > 1:24:37But, oddly enough, I want to be buried in America.
1:24:37 > 1:24:41There are numerous details involved that I should like to leave in your capable hands.
1:24:41 > 1:24:43Please don't.
1:24:43 > 1:24:46I can't listen when you talk like this.
1:24:46 > 1:24:48Then I shall turn the matter over to someone less emotional.

1:24:50 > 1:24:53Your greatest asset has always been your detachment,
1:24:53 > 1:24:56your freedom from sentimentality.
1:24:56 > 1:24:59It'd be a pity if you shattered that record at the end.
1:25:01 > 1:25:05And now, if...if you don't mind, I...
1:25:05 > 1:25:08I'd like to be left alone.
1:25:23 > 1:25:25Does the signora care to order?
1:25:25 > 1:25:28Yes. Bring me six double scotches, please.
1:25:28 > 1:25:31- Six? - Six.
1:25:31 > 1:25:33Very good, signora.
1:25:37 > 1:25:39May I ask what you intend to do with six double scotches?
1:25:39 > 1:25:42- SNIFFLES - I intend to drink them.
1:25:42 > 1:25:44May I suggest that you'll live to regret it?
1:25:44 > 1:25:46You may.
1:25:48 > 1:25:51- But why six? - I suspect a trick.
1:25:51 > 1:25:55The Americans have thought of a scheme to outwit us of our tips.
1:25:55 > 1:25:57I must figure this out.
1:25:57 > 1:26:01- How can one save on six drinks? - Well...
1:26:16 > 1:26:18That'll be all.
1:26:25 > 1:26:27COUGHING
1:26:30 > 1:26:34Shall I slap you on the back, or shall I call the waiter to do it?
1:26:34 > 1:26:36Neither.
1:26:36 > 1:26:40Shouldn't you be at your desk attending to my work?
1:26:40 > 1:26:43You've given up. Why shouldn't I?
1:26:44 > 1:26:47I had no idea you went in for this sort of thing.
1:26:47 > 1:26:50I don't, as a rule.
1:26:50 > 1:26:52To the Fountain of Trevi.
1:26:52 > 1:26:55To the lovely, romantic Fountain of Trevi, where hope can be had for a penny.
1:26:55 > 1:26:58- People are looking at you. - Well, high time.
1:26:58 > 1:27:02- Do you really think you should? - I really think I should.
1:27:02 > 1:27:05- Why? - Because...
1:27:05 > 1:27:07..my life is ending.
1:27:19 > 1:27:21Bambino.
1:27:21 > 1:27:24Don't hug the shore with it. Be... Be reckless.
1:27:24 > 1:27:27You've got your whole life ahead of you.

1:27:32 > 1:27:35Oh! All right. All right, all right.
1:27:40 > 1:27:42Here, take it.
1:27:42 > 1:27:46Take it home and play with it in the bathtub, my brave little adventurer.
1:27:48 > 1:27:50- What do you want? - Really, Miss Frances.
1:27:50 > 1:27:54Don't you think you're a bit too old to go wading in public?
1:27:54 > 1:27:58I'm not too old. I'm not too old to do anything I want to do.
1:28:04 > 1:28:08Allow me to assist you from that ludicrous and liquid posture.
1:28:08 > 1:28:11Go away. Go away, please.
1:28:13 > 1:28:15Give me your hand, then.
1:28:16 > 1:28:19SHE SIGHS

1:28:43 > 1:28:45I haven't got anybody.
1:28:45 > 1:28:49- Nobody cares what happens to me. - SOBBING
1:28:49 > 1:28:52Why didn't you let me drown?
1:28:52 > 1:28:56A pity you didn't reveal your capacity for vice earlier.
1:28:56 > 1:29:00The years would've seemed much shorter, and well-spent.
1:29:00 > 1:29:03You needn't flatter me.
1:29:03 > 1:29:06Miss Frances, please lie back. You're going to feel dreadful later on.
1:29:06 > 1:29:09I feel dreadful now.
1:29:09 > 1:29:11- I've gotta get up.- Why?
1:29:11 > 1:29:15I've gotta help my friends. They love me very much.
1:29:15 > 1:29:18- I know. - Oh, poor Georgio.
1:29:18 > 1:29:21- Poor who? - Oh, don't pretend you don't know.
1:29:21 > 1:29:25I've got to get to Mr Burgoyne and make him give Georgio his job back.
1:29:25 > 1:29:28Anita loves Georgio, and Georgio loves Anita.
1:29:28 > 1:29:31- Yes. - But you wouldn't understand.
1:29:31 > 1:29:33You hate everybody!
1:29:33 > 1:29:35Well, I should certainly hate to see you make a daily habit of this.
1:29:35 > 1:29:37And I've got to talk to Dino.
1:29:37 > 1:29:41I want Maria to have her prince. Every girl should have her prince.
1:29:41 > 1:29:44At least one.
1:29:44 > 1:29:47My dear Miss Frances, please try and get a little rest.
1:29:47 > 1:29:51I'll do what I can later, but in the meantime it's important for you to sleep.
1:29:51 > 1:29:53Sing to me.
1:29:53 > 1:29:58The only song I know would hardly be appropriate - The Star-Spangled Banner.
1:29:58 > 1:30:00You'd have to stand up, and...
1:30:05 > 1:30:08Do you think you're going to be all right?
1:30:10 > 1:30:12Miss Frances?
1:30:23 > 1:30:25Sleep.

1:31:01 > 1:31:03- Well, John! - Hello, Dino.
1:31:03 > 1:31:07I come bearing presents. You've always wanted these first editions of mine.
1:31:07 > 1:31:10- I've decided to give them to you. - But I cannot accept.
1:31:10 > 1:31:13- But you will. - Well, I'm overwhelmed, John.
1:31:13 > 1:31:16- Why are you doing this? - Saves my packing them.
1:31:16 > 1:31:19- I'm going away tomorrow. - Oh. Off to Capri again, huh?
1:31:19 > 1:31:22America. I'm going home after 15 years...to be married.
1:31:22 > 1:31:24Miss Frances?
1:31:24 > 1:31:27How did you know?
1:31:27 > 1:31:32For years all of Rome has known how Miss Frances felt. Should I be surprised?
1:31:32 > 1:31:35You should be ashamed. You might have told me.
1:31:35 > 1:31:39It is much better that you waited, my friend.
1:31:39 > 1:31:42No man should marry until he is at least your age.
1:31:42 > 1:31:44I shall accept that as a compliment.
1:31:44 > 1:31:46- To your happiness. - Thank you.
1:31:49 > 1:31:52Now, at my age, you see, we have no judgment.
1:31:52 > 1:31:56- We feel too deeply. - I can understand how you feel.
1:31:56 > 1:31:59After all, you've just had a narrow escape with that girl at the agency, haven't you?
1:31:59 > 1:32:02- You know about this? - Oh, all of Rome has known.
1:32:02 > 1:32:05She almost tricked you into marrying her, I understand.
1:32:05 > 1:32:08Do you know what that girl did?
1:32:08 > 1:32:11Kept a little black book on you, I believe. Listed all your likes and dislikes.
1:32:11 > 1:32:15- Even to the piccolo! - Only a woman could sink that low.
1:32:15 > 1:32:18HE SCOFFS The duplicity of this grasping girl!
1:32:18 > 1:32:23Of course, we all grasp at happiness, but there are such things as rules.
1:32:23 > 1:32:26Exactly! I knew you would understand.
1:32:26 > 1:32:30And you're quite right in letting her go back to America without a word.
1:32:30 > 1:32:32She deserves to be unhappy.
1:32:32 > 1:32:34She's going back to America?
1:32:34 > 1:32:38Oh, she knows she did wrong, so let her suffer for it.
1:32:38 > 1:32:42You're well out of it, my boy. You've acted like a man.
1:32:43 > 1:32:46She deceived me. She... She lied to me.
1:32:46 > 1:32:49Why can't women play the game properly?
1:32:49 > 1:32:53Everyone knows that in love affairs only the man has the right to lie.
1:32:53 > 1:32:56- Naturally.- She was very stupid to confess she lied.
1:32:56 > 1:33:00She didn't have to. Very stupid.
1:33:00 > 1:33:03See, to...to disillusion me so...
1:33:03 > 1:33:06These girls in love never realise they should be honestly dishonest
1:33:06 > 1:33:09instead of being dishonestly honest.
1:33:09 > 1:33:12- Do you know what I mean? - Hmm? Oh, certainly.
1:33:14 > 1:33:16So don't let anyone convince you
1:33:16 > 1:33:20that you should be flattered she went to such lengths to capture your interest.
1:33:20 > 1:33:22Don't worry. I won't.
1:33:22 > 1:33:25Of course, I would be highly flattered.
1:33:25 > 1:33:27But then, I'm an older man.
1:33:27 > 1:33:30- Not much. - Thank you.
1:33:30 > 1:33:34Well, I'm glad that I leave you in this happy frame of mind.
1:33:34 > 1:33:37You know what you want, Dino. Take care of yourself.
1:33:37 > 1:33:41She'll be out of your life tomorrow, and you'll never be bothered by her again.
1:33:59 > 1:34:01- Home, Signor Shadwell? - Not yet.
1:34:01 > 1:34:04- To the Burgoyne villa, and hurry. - Si, signor.
1:34:19 > 1:34:22- I guess that's everything. - Mm-hmm.
1:34:22 > 1:34:25Well, goodbye, beautiful apartment.
