Original subtitles

Anna Molnar is making her entrance.

Wait a minute. Anna Molnar.

Wasn't she in adultery Italian style?

I didn't know you went in for subtitles, Mark.

My man, when she's on the screen, you don't look at the words.

Oh, and don't forget to put out... Security flag is taken care of. I know

travels with a lot of jewelry. Good.

Well, take good care of this one. These are all my jewelry.

Don't leave it out of sight. Yes, ma 'am. Thank you very much.

Welcome to the St. Gregory, Miss Molnar. I'm Mark Denning, director of guest

relations. How do you do? I'm delighted to meet you.

Yes. Oh, excuse me.

Billy Griffin, hotel security?

It's a real pleasure.

Oh, the pleasure is mine.

Returning to this beautiful inn.

So venerable.

We try to please.

Come in here, and if you'll permit me.

Oh, Mr. Denning, I permit you almost anything.

Oh, one suggestion, Miss Molnar. Yes? Hotel policy recommends valuables be

in our vault.

Vault? But how can my diamonds sparkle in a dark little box?

Well, why don't I come up to your suite now? We'll do the inventory, I'll give

you a receipt, end of problem.

Oh, but I'm lost without my jewelry.

The star of Kashmir is my ecstasy, my fire.

Well, just think of me as your friendly neighborhood fireman.

The best campaign we've ever done for the St. Gregory.

They should deliver five million impressions nationwide.

Well, I'll run them by Peter this afternoon.

You have the demographics?

Jill.

Demographics, all of them. I am so sorry. I left them on my desk.

Got to run. Meeting at the Trans Am building.

I'll get the figures over to you later.

Let me know what Peter thinks, okay?

Sure. Thanks, Ron. Thank you.

Jill, see you later. Bye.

I am so sorry. I can't think clearly today, I guess. I'm sorry. No problem.

How's the agency going to function without me? You're taking a break, huh?

well, actually, I'm going to be staying right here at the St. Gregory with Paul,

my husband.

Oh, I thought... That's nice.

I haven't been together in a year.

A whole year?

Yeah. You haven't even seen him?

Well, yeah, I've visited him.

Look, if there's anything we can do to make the both of you more comfortable, I

don't know, help take the goosebumps away? Problem is, my goosebumps have

goosebumps. Thank you.

Adam? Peter!

How are you, Peter?

Last I heard, you were living quietly in your villa.

Yes, it was too damn quiet, like waiting for the funeral to start.

Only someone like you could be bored on the Riviera.

Only thing I was ever afraid of, Peter, being bored.

Staying here? Staying here, hell, I'm the general manager.

General manager?

That's a long way up, even for that bright young trainee at the Negresco.

How many years is it?

More than I'd like to remember. I remember every bottle we emptied

You were always going to come back.

Well, I guess the notion got in the way. What are you doing here in San

Francisco? I've written my memoir.

Publishers tour, talk shows, usual nonsense.

Adam B. Dock tells everything.

Tells almost everything.

And confesses, but how much?

I never took much pleasure in confessions.

Then you best not do anything you might have to confess.

But the greatest pleasure of all is doing what people say you shouldn't do.

Jill.

It's a beautiful hotel.

Isn't it? Yes.

It's on one of our accounts.

If there's anything you want.

After more than a year.

How nice.

You always know the right thing to say.

Are you sure that it's okay for you to take this time off?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

It'll be like a vacation.

You look wonderful.

As if you didn't just see me last week. I didn't. Not like this. I mean, not

without some orderly hovering over us.

Well, from now on, I'm the only one that's going to do the hovering.

Morning, Christine.

Hi.

Listen, uh, you got a minute?

Sure.

You don't understand anything about Peter lately?

Different colored socks.

Oh, this is serious. Come on.

I hit him up for a raise last week.

You deserve one.

So do I.

Well, I implied I was checking out other job offers.

Are you?

Well, I let the manager of the Mark Hopkins take me out to lunch.

But the leader knows I love it here, so why is he being so cool?

I haven't noticed a thing.

Why don't you talk it out with him?

Yeah, maybe I will.

What a marvelous surprise.

Oh, you're so fit.

You look wonderful.

Are you still single? Women will not let me stay single, and I will not let

myself stay married. I'm wonderfully available.

Oh, my good news.

Excuse me, will there be two? Yes, please, two.

Whatever are you doing here? I'm here with the seven ages of women. You have

only one age, Anna, ageless.

Seven Ages of Woman is my one woman tour de force. Woman in her tragedy and her

triumph.

Really, really, Adam. You used to watch all my openings.

I've been rather out of things lately.

I, on the other hand, know that you have just wrote a most scandalous book.

Am I in it?

All the old crowd is in it. Oh.

I won't be able to sleep until I read all the delicious little lines.

Your favorite champagne.

Oh, aren't you nice. Thank you. Thank you.

Well, that's fine. Thank you. Thank you.

Adam, why didn't you come to my party in Rome last spring?

I was in Hong Kong. Never received the invitation.

Another not received invitation.

You have broken my heart too many times. And you mine.

Youth is a passion, manhood a struggle, maturity a regret.

My poet.

You are beautiful, Anna.

As alluring as the midnight moon over the Danube.

You are. You know, you are such a delicious liar.

He looks like the man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo.

Adam Madoc was Monte Carlo.

One of Churchill's top wartime agents, Grand Prix driver.

He was a friend and lover to movie stars and royalty.

Friend of mine, too.

Our friend didn't put that look on your face.

Well, some pretty heavy jewelry disappeared in Nice.

The doc was usually around.

Keep an eye out, Billy. The fox is still in the chicken coop.

Peter McDermott, please.

Hold on.

I'll call back.

I don't think you'll find him there.

Oh, why not?

Because he's right here.

You're Peter?

Well, last time I heard.

Can I help you?

Yeah. I'm Marilla Collins.

New York?

I know we've met before, but... If we had, how could we ever have said

Sometimes you have to say goodbye to say hello again.

Tom Savage in New York told me to look you up.

Oh, sure, sure. Of course. I got his note last week. You're a designer.

Yes, I'm in town on job interviews.

I thought I'd check out San Francisco and see if I might like living here.

Well, maybe I can help you decide.

Maybe you can.

You know, you're not at all like I thought you'd be.

Is it okay to be this way?

Yes, it's very much okay.

Maybe even better away from these telephones.

Over lunch, for example?

Over lunch.

For openers.

Your hair, it's different.

Oh, you noticed. I like it very much. Thank you.

Oh, Christine.

Christine, come meet my husband.

Christine Francis, this is Paul.

Oh, nice to meet you. Same here.

Welcome to St. Gregory. I hope you enjoy your stay.

Hi, been looking for you.

Must be Paul.

I'm Ron Bowman from the agency.

Hello.

Got those demographic figures we should talk this afternoon.

Great. Can I drag you away to phone the agency?

Um, now, could you cover for me, please?

Just a fire in a Crystal Foods account.

Won't take a minute.

Go ahead.

Sure, you don't mind.

I'll be right back.

Are you going down to the wharf today?

What?

Yes, I guess so.

You and Jill will love... Would you excuse me, please? I need to get some

air.

Have you told him yet?

Ron, he's only been here an hour. Jill, I love you.

Love me.

All I know is he's still my husband and he needs me. You haven't been man and

wife for a year.

I'm worried.

What if he... He won't.

The doctor said he hasn't had an episode in months.

I gotta get back.

He could hurt you.

He could also be hurt and I don't want to do that to him.

Thanks for a wonderful lunch, Peter. I should thank you for getting me out of

the office.

You can take the man out of the office, but you can't take the office out of the

man.

Show that much?

Like a neon sign, but not for the last hour. Maybe I should keep the sign

off for more than an hour.

Or maybe turned on just brightly enough to reveal the secret Peter McDermott.

He's no secret.

Oh, no.

No. You know, most men I have lunch with tell me all about themselves, like...

How important they are and what stocks they own and problems with their wives.

I'm not married.

Uh -huh. You see that? You told me something personal about yourself

Wasn't that easy?

Like learning how to swim.

Maybe we should test the water some more.

Are you a good sailor?

Well, does surviving the boat tour around Manhattan count?

I got a friend who's got a 25 -foot catch. We could sail out to Treasure

Treasure Island?

You're kidding.

You know, it's not as big as Manhattan, but a lot prettier.

Perfect for a cold chicken and wine and sunburn.

Is that what's going to happen to us?

We're going to get burned?

I'll bring plenty of oil.

Fun. Yeah.

Well, um, maybe we should make dinner reservations.

Oh, I already have.

Oh. Is 8 o 'clock okay? Sure. Great. Great. I'll just, uh, brush my hair or

something. Jill, uh... Thanks.

For what?

Well, where do I start?

For paying my medical bills?

Coming to see me every week? I know, I know that your parents must have warned

you that, uh...

Flip out nobody had to warn me about anything all any of us ever wanted was

you to get well

I'd like to confirm my dinner reservation for two.

Stanton.

No, no, no.

I said 8, not 8 .30.

All right.

Look, I told you.

I called earlier.

The name is Stanton. Now, do I have to spell it for you?

What is the matter with you people?

Do you have it or don't you?

Damn it, what do I have to do?

I'm sorry.

8 .30 will be just fine.

Thank you.

To this seven ages woman, may it be the high point of theatrical season.

That decision I shall leave to my audience.

I just hope that I am going to speak clearly and not bump into the furniture.

Only a great star could hold the entire stage alone for a whole evening.

Oh, well, I let you into a secret.

I have played being a star for 20 years.

Now, now perhaps I shall become an actress.

You know, that other star, are you planning on wearing that tomorrow night?

You mean the star of Kashmir?

Well, I am naked without it.

And that maybe just overexcites the audience a little bit.

Is there a problem, Peter?

Oh, no, no. I was just thinking about security.

Peter?

I have a proposition.

How about a stiff one?

Oh, I can't now, Adam.

What? What?

I remember a thousand and one nights you passed out on my sofa up at the villa

in Monte Carlo.

Well, you were teaching me to appreciate fine wines, a case at a time. And you

were my most brilliant student.

Then, somewhere, I lost you.

It wasn't that business with the police that put you off, was it?

Well, you know I got that job in New York.

Of course.

Every man has a rainy corner in his life. Sometimes bad weather blows his

And it blew over?

Like a wise old bird, I took shelter.

That's exactly how I feel about the St. Gregory.

A shelter for our guests.

I'm not sure I follow.

Well, I wouldn't want that bird to fly away with any shiny trinkets. Peter, you

have my word as a gentleman.

The trouble is you taught me your one infallible rule.

Any man who talks about being a gentleman never is one.

extraordinary memory of yours, Peter, then you must remember another of my

little homilies.

All birds are hard to pluck.

I'm late.

You're beautiful.

Who are you talking to?

Just an old teacher.

Listen,

got a second?

What is this? Nobody wants to be seen with me? On the top, Mark.

Undercover.

Undercover.

Undercover. That seems to be where everybody wants to put me.

You're going to love the food here.

I'm looking forward to it.

Could you help me with this?

Sure.

Jill, you know, loving you was the one thing that pulled me through this.

Oh, Paul. I knew it was lonely for you.

Why did you stay with me through it all?

You know how much I care about you.

That sounds like something that a sister might say to her brother.

You know better than that.

Once you were the kindest, most gentle man I'd ever met.

And I knew that man would come back someday.

I'm sorry for making you afraid.

I'm not afraid.

You don't have to say anything. Yes, I do, if we're ever going to be happy

again.

We're going to be late for dinner.

Jill, all I wanted to say was... I don't

know how I'd ever live without you.

Let's not think about that now, okay?

Why do I get the feeling that we've met before?

Do I remind you of an old flame?

No, someone...

You know, someone far away and long ago. Far away and long ago.

That's funny. That's how New York seems to me now.

Do you miss home?

New York was never that.

I'm a wanderer, Peter.

I'm still looking for home.

Well, maybe I can help you find it.

I'd like that.

You know how I feel.

The past is gone, and the present is full of questions.

Suddenly I'm very scared about the future.

Sometimes you have to take a gamble on the future.

And spin the wheel.

If we did that, there'd be no gamble.

Just a certainty.

For me.

Well, that's right for me, too.

Tell me.

Are you really an inmate?

An inmate?

Of what?

Of St. Gregory.

I have an apartment.

I may only see it three times a year.

Do you think that if we spin the wheel,

we might make it four times?

Have you picked anything out for him yet?

Nah. You got any ideas?

If it were your birthday, what would you want?

What I'd want, he can't have.

Hi, guys.

Hi, Mark.

Listen, I... I was thinking, how about if we get together tomorrow night for a

couple of beers? What do you say?

Tomorrow night, we're going out.

We're going out.

Gotta run.

See you, Mark.

Who are you?

Someone who's waited a long time.

For what?

Do you need to ask?

Champagne? Absolutely.

Tonight calls for something special.

Well, tonight was special.

It was a lovely dinner.

Just like all times.

God, what a dumb thing to say.

Don't torment yourself.

We're together now.

Still husband and wife?

Paul, hi, it's Ron Bowman. Started to call so late.

Could I speak to Jill?

Do you know what time it is?

It's important.

Business problem.

Important business.

Yes? Are you okay? I've been worried about you.

Ron, uh, please... I just want you to know I'm here if he... if you need me.

Um, well, I'll deal with that tomorrow, all right?

What a business.

I expect you to be on call 24 hours a day.

Come on, Jill.

There's more than that between you and Ron.

Please, don't be angry.

Angry? He's a friend. A friend? He cares about me. He worries about me.

You mean he's worried about me?

No. Come on, admit it.

Sure, he's worried.

He's worried about these hands.

Yeah, yeah, the hands that threw you across the room, that slammed you into

wall, that damned you, killed you.

That's all over now, Paul.

Jill, please.

Listen, I couldn't stand it if you left me.

Really, I couldn't.

But that's how it started last time, wasn't it? I mean, I just got so

jealous, didn't I? Paul, don't, please.

I don't understand. I mean, I was holding you exactly that way that night.

Stop it!

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, my God.

What have I done? I didn't... I didn't... What have I...

What have I done?

I didn't... I didn't mean...

It's all right.

Nothing happened. No. Nothing happened.

It's all right.

I'm so ashamed.

I'm so ashamed.

Oh, darling, you don't think that I should have accepted the Fellini picture

instead? You'll be absolutely splendid.

I'm always splendid.

But now, now it's time to become a legend.

Definitely. It is also time for breakfast. Shall I order? I noticed the

interesting kepper in red wine sauce.

Oh, you wicked, wicked man, you.

You already made me late for my appointment.

Oh, do you know, Victoria said that I'm going to be the cultural event of the

season. I shall be sorry to miss it. Oh, another missed invitation.

No one has invited me.

You, my darling, you shall come as my escort.

I thought you would never ask. Oh, you are so correct. Such a gentleman.

Now I know why the lights stay on all night, Rivera.

You do?

No woman could trust you after dark, my love.

I guess I started going out with Ron because I was alone.

But it turned into something more between us.

Do you still love your husband?

Yes, I do.

Paul was my husband and my friend and my lover.

I don't know, though. In the last year, he's been a stranger.

Maybe we've become completely different people.

Do people who love each other really change that much?

I don't know.

I just don't know.

So you're going to wear the star of Kashmir in your performance tonight?

Why, of course.

I have been unfaithful to a thousand men, but never, never to my diamond.

What if I told you the star of Kashmir would be stolen tonight?

Would you still wear it?

Stolen? Who would want to do such a thing?

One of the San Francisco critics?

You turn the sheep loose and sooner or later the fox will come by.

Sheeps? Foxes? What am I doing? Am I going to perform in a zoo all of a

Well, I've got an idea for a performance of my own.

Now, if you'll go along.

How was your evening, darling?

You're getting to be quite an expert.

I'm also getting to be quite a liar.

I know what you mean.

Be at the game.

Peter's a wonderful man.

I promise you will never know.

You know, for ten cents, I'd drop this whole thing right now.

Ten cents?

Or the right words from Peter McDermott?

Maybe he's already said those words.

To you, he didn't.

Only to Marilla Collins, the New York designer you pretend to be.

Once a thief, always a thief. Is that it?

Don't tell me you'd rather marry a London banker and settle for one of

appalling suburban homes.

Happy catching the 810 into Waterloo every morning?

No.

But a San Francisco hotel keeper?

He's not for you. You'd miss the adventure.

What's climbing Mount Everest compared to caressing the cold brilliance of

diamonds?

You're a little boy. Do you know that?

A little boy playing at being a gentleman's feet.

If I thought you believed that, I'd pack it all in.

But you're also my father.

A wonderful father.

And I love you very much.

It's so wonderful being with you again. Being able to touch you.

Paul, there's something I have to tell you. I know we can make it work this

time. Paul. I'm going to be everything that you want me to be.

Paul, I met someone while you were away.

It's Ron.

Oh, yeah.

I knew it had to be him.

Listen, I am not going to let him take you away from me.

Paul, no one's going to take me away from you. We'll always be friends.

Wait a minute.

You've got that the wrong way around, haven't you? I'm your husband.

He's your friend.

Forgive me. Forgive you?

Why is suddenly everything so turned around?

Look. You didn't kick any doors down. You didn't hit me with your fist. Paul.

Jill. I need you, please. Paul. I need you.

What?

That bad, huh?

You know what they say. You're always the last one to hear. Hear what?

I've got this feeling.

Peter's gonna fire me.

No kidding.

I know someone who'd really like to have your job

Just kidding

mark just kidding

I guess we both have things to say to each other.

No. Only one thing.

I love Jill.

I know you've been through hell, but so has she.

I can make her happy.

No.

I realize I have to prove myself to Jill all over again, but... No, no. No, no,

no. No buts, Paul.

I'm sorry. It's tough to lose someone you love. I'm truly sorry.

You don't understand.

I'm not going to be the one who loses Joe.

In the language of flowers, a yellow rose means I'm sorry.

I think you just made that up.

I shouldn't have run out on you like that. I'm sorry.

You had every right to. I acted like a crazy man. No, I'm just a coward.

You're the bravest woman I know.

I don't know much about myself anymore.

Jill, look.

I don't know what's going to happen to me now.

But today, I found out one thing that won't.

And I mean never. No.

Not ever, ever again.

Please.

Believe it.

Oh, come in, come in.

Oh, you brought it. Yes, I brought a little fire up from the box. Oh, great.

Would you mind verifying the contents?

Oh, my baby.

Free at last from the darkness.

Fine here, please.

Oh, yes, yes. Thank you. One star of cashmere.

There you go.

Now remember, I'll just be a stone's throw away.

Good, good, good, good.

Peter,

didn't we say seven?

No, I thought we might get an early start.

Oh, I'd love to. It's just that I'm meeting a friend for a quick drink.

Well, I'll join you.

Do you mind?

Well, no, of course not. I'll just be a minute.

You know, I used to know a girl a long time ago. Her father was an old friend.

She was only 12 or 13.

Very shy, but beautiful and wild.

She used to hide whenever I'd come for a visit.

Sometimes I'd catch her watching me.

Why are you telling me this?

I told you, you reminded me of somebody.

This girl.

What do you think she was watching for?

Her father.

She wanted to make sure he was safe.

She loved him very much.

Doesn't every girl love her father?

Whether he deserves it or not.

It couldn't be any other way.

Shall we go?

How did you feel about this girl?

Well, she was just a kid.

I mean, I knew she was going to grow up to be a beautiful woman, but I figured

I'd never see her again.

Well, don't be so sure that she was just watching for her father.

She was probably in love with him.

How sad that little girls grow up.

Excuse me, Peter, I have to talk to you.

Oh, Mark, well, I'm kind of busy right now. Only take a minute. Peter, I just

need to know. Mark, not now.

Miss Molnar?

Miss Molnar?

Sorry.

You're going to give up the ice, or do I have to take it from you?

Ice? Am I to understand there's a sudden world shortage?

An outbreak of warm gin and tonic?

Up against the wall, please.

Really, is this any way to treat a guest in your country? Forget the pomp, man.

I'm dealing with your circumstance.

It would appear that your own circumstance includes a certain amount

your face.

We can grab a pizza after work tonight.

I really need to talk about what's happening to me. I'm sorry, Mark.

I have a date.

A date?

I was hoping you wouldn't do it.

Look, you know he's my father.

I love him. I wouldn't expect you to understand that. I understand enough.

You're thieves.

You steal. That's what you do.

Look, I know you won't believe me, but I didn't come here for the Star of

Kashmir. That was Daddy's dream.

I came to see you.

And I'm not sorry that we spun the wheel together.

It's too bad it came up zero.

You got the key?

Look, I don't care what happens to me.

But if Daddy goes to prison, he'll kill him.

You should have thought of that a long time ago.

I think about it every day of my life.

That's why I have to help him.

You'll be out of here by morning.

Adam, I'm so sorry that I'm late. I was beginning to worry. Is everything all

right? Oh, yes, yes, everything is fine.

Marcello called to wish me good luck and is insisting that we make another movie

with Spallini after the tour.

Are you ready to set the stage afar?

Oh, yes, yes. Oh, thank you.

Isn't it beautiful?

Darling, would you have me, please?

Thank you.

I hate to alarm you, but these are imitations.

Why, of course, darling.

The real one is in the hotel vault.

Where it's been for the last 48 hours.

How very reassuring.

Come on, darling.

In the vault.

For the last 48 hours.

Then it was never... Something you taught me. When the fox arrives, lock up

sheep.

Come on, darling.

I'm ready for my great performance.

I'm coming, I'm coming.

Capital joke.

Peter. Capital.

It appears to be the fox who was fleeced.

Perfect.

You knew.

All along.

And you still want me to come with you to the theater?

Why, of course, darling.

I need all my friends around me tonight.

But mainly you.

You also know I must leave in the morning.

Yes, but we still have tonight for one gentle kiss.

Before we part.

To drop a tear.

Before we say adieu.

Let's go.

And I thought he'd break down and cry.

Well, maybe even a fox finally grows up when he has his first real laugh at

himself.

Oh, Mark, Mrs. Cabot wants you now.

Mrs. Cabot? I wouldn't keep her waiting.

Oh, and she wants you to stop by your office and bring up those convention

files.

Now? I guess she wants to take care of business, too.

Two.

Where's this Scarlett Pimpernel now that I need him?

What? Well, he used to rescue people from the guillotine, didn't he?

I've got to tell you, I spoke to Bill Johnson, and I may be getting my old job

back.

That's wonderful. Why didn't you tell me? Well, it seems that Bill still could

use a good accountant.

Not just good, the best.

So, if you don't want to go on working at the agency... Oh, I love it there.

Well, I mean, what about Ron?

Ron and I are still going to be friends.

I don't want you seeing him every day. Excuse me.

But I don't like you telling me what I can and cannot do.

Would you look?

Fighting. Like real married people.

Huh?

Are you all right?

I feel wonderful.

Keep your job.

Make love to me.

Oh, I'm late for the theater, Mark, but I wanted to have a quick word with you.

I know what you're going to say, ma 'am.

I hear you're considering leaving at St. Gregory.

Oh, God, no.

It wasn't a firm offer. I love it here.

I'm glad to hear it.

We'd hate to lose you.

Mrs. Cabot, you needed these convention files.

Oh, yes.

Mark, just put them over there. Yes, ma 'am. Thank you.

Happy birthday!

I have to run, but I'll be back right after Anna's performance, and I expect

this party to still be going strong. No problem.

Oh, by the way, Mark, your raise has been approved.

Really?

Thank you, Mrs. Cabot.

Enjoy the party.

Thank you.

You know it all the time, do you? You're having me go, and you really have me

going, Mark.

Can I speak to you for a second? Sure.

Did you want to say something? Say something to you?

Do you?

Yeah. Must be thinking of someone else.
