Good night, sir.

My coffee.

Yes, milady.

Thirty-six.

Oh, auntie, don't let go.

We will.

I promised this young American that we'd dine with him at the monopole.

He's dying to meet you.

You always keep your promises, don't you, auntie?

Not always.

For two years, I've been promising the bank that you'd make a rich marriage.

We've got just enough money for one more season.

Eleanor, why did you turn down that rich oil man?

Oh, he looked like a... a poached egg.

And the soap manufacturer?

He felt like a poached egg.

Did you ever shake hands with him?

It's your duty to marry a poached egg.

I mean a millionaire.

Auntie, is there a life for a girl to be a piece of toast for some poached egg?

Eleanor!

Your car, milady.

Thank you.

Try to like this young American.

He has dark hair and dresses well.

Are you listening?

Oh yes, young American, dark hair, dresses well.

Good evening.

Good evening, Mr. Larry.

Why, two people haven't arrived yet?

Not yet, Mr. Larry.

If you're waiting out here, it would be better to put your raffle.

The night air is a bit nippy.

Thank you.

Wait for me here, Eleanor.

I'll park around the corner.

Eleanor?

Did she say Eleanor?

Eleanor.

Yes, Eleanor.

I don't believe Auntie saw you when we drove up.

Have you been waiting long?

All my life.

Why, it's nice of you to say that.

You're easy to like.

And I was afraid you'd be another poached egg.

Poached egg?

You know, your smile sort of makes me want to dance in the streets.

You know, your offer sort of makes me want to smile.

Eleanor!

Who is that?

Why, is this our host?

Certainly not.

Come along.

Forgive me for speaking to you.

Silly of me.

Please forget it.

Never.

Very good, my boy.

Thank you.

Where's the other fellow?

Here comes Ambrose now.

Oh, hello, Mr... Mr... Adkins.

You're late!

Late!

Late!

What excuse have you?

I won't bother you with it.

I don't think you'd like it.

I demand a reason.

Well, you see, I'm very nearsighted.

And I lost my eyeglasses, and I had to sit down and wait till somebody found them.

I used to try to find them myself, and you have no idea what strange things

I'd pick up, thinking they was my eyeglasses.

Why didn't you keep this fellow with you?

I was dining inside.

I felt I wasn't dressed for it.

How can you afford to dine in the monopole?

The head waiter and the chef invited me.

They knew me when I had money.

Oh.

Well, well... It worked!

Come on, Ambrose.

Yeah.

Ready?

Ready.

Who'd you say the tall fellow is?

Young American, Mr. Larry Bruce.

And he's flat broke.

Oh.

He comes over here and brings a race horse with him,

called Gangster, and ends him in the Grand National.

But, ah, that horse hated water.

And he lay right down at the first water jump.

Strike me pink, I'll remember's now.

And that other bloke is Ambrose the trainer.

Dorman, you see that young lady come out, will you?

Let me know.

I'd rather she wouldn't see me doing this.

I understand, Mr. Larry.

Larry, you ain't starting to romance again with no girl.

Now that's the way we lose all our jobs.

We'll never save enough money to get back home.

We just had Gangster.

He'd get us back home all right.

You'll never get that horse back across that Atlantic Ocean.

He hates two things, me and water.

I'd like to ride him myself in just one race.

One race and I'd be sitting pretty.

One race and you'd never sit again.

Sorry, miss, they're not here.

Is my car here?

Yes, sir, it is.

It is?

Right here, sir.

He has so many cars, he forgets which is his and which isn't his.

Dorman, you must find me a taxi.

I want to get back to my hotel.

Eleanor, won't you use my car?

Did you hear what he says?

Yes.

Can you do it?

You better do it for him.

Please, Eleanor, please use my car.

But I do want to get away.

I just met another man I don't like.

Old state?

This one was boiled.

My car, please.

Dorman, the door.

Please, I can't take your car like this.

The car is as much yours as it is mine.

Hey, you!

Stop him!

Who's that funny little man?

Oh, you mean that man?

That little man?

What?

He's just a business associate.

He probably wants to talk about money matters.

Money, money, money.

That man's discharged.

It's all right, sir.

He'll bring it back.

Who are you?

I'm Ambrose.

I work for you.

Oh, you work for me.

Good.

You're discharged.

Remind me not to tip you when I come out.

We were doing so well.

Been a long time, you.

Since you advised us not to ask my name, I'll give it to you.

I'm Eleanor Farrington.

Eleanor?

You know, an ordinary fellow would spoil everything now by asking your address.

But I'm much too clever for that.

I live at Farrington Hall in Lomeshire, just about three hours from London.

I know I'd like Lomeshire.

It's wonderful, honey.

It must be.

Good night.

I look at you, and a song is born.

I should think you'd be ashamed to look at me.

You lost your jobs again.

I realize that, Ambrose.

And I'm sorry, and I want...

What happened to this place anyway?

Oh, I lost my glasses.

Again?

Yeah, you were gone so long, I had to try to find them myself.

Had to move everything.

I see you did.

But I'll put it all back.

I'll help you, Ambrose.

No, you won't either.

I got along this far without you, and I can finish without you.

Well...

I'm surprised that you feel that way, but should you change your mind,

you'll find me in the bar.

I look at you, and a song is born.

And you'd better put that clock up there where it belongs.

Where is it?

What time is it, Ambrose?

About half past.

Is today Monday?

Yeah.

Job gone, glasses gone, blue Monday.

Eleanor Barrington.

Hey, you'd better be careful in there.

Hey, did you drop something?

Certainly not.

I'm putting everything back in place.

Don't be like that, Ambrose.

I've got some good news.

Huh?

You know that chauffeur that brought me home tonight?

He told me about a great job with some rich people from South America.

They're moving in that new house back at the Cafe Monopole.

What kind of a job?

It pays well on just two people.

A coffee planter and his wife.

Yeah, well, what's the job?

What do I do?

You're the cook's assistant.

I don't know anything about cooking.

The assistants don't have to.

They take their orders from the head cook.

Head cook?

Well, who's the head cook?

I am.

You... you can't even boil water.

Listen, we need the money, and if we can fake

it long enough, why don't we get back home?

Ah, but wait a minute.

We serve luncheon tomorrow for two at one.

Oh, you can't cook.

I know you.

He can't cook.

Eureka!

Huh?

I found them!

Oh!

Oh, where were they?

In the tub.

Gee, it's a good thing I live with you.

I wouldn't have found them till Saturday night.

Ambrose!

What are you doing?

It's nearly one o'clock.

Yes?

What did you promise at one?

Luncheon.

Well, I'm doing my best to cook it.

You mean you're cook...

Yeah, but the gas man never turned on the

gas, so I'm trying to cook by electric light.

Oh, I see.

What are we having for lunch today, Ambrose?

Well, these is eggs and them is coffee.

I see that's a light lunch, huh?

Yeah.

Come on now, Ambrose.

What?

Well, the little Spanish man and his Spanish wife is in there waiting.

They'll have luncheon all right.

I don't think this coffee will be done by one.

Maybe they wouldn't like it if it was.

Huh?

Well, I don't know what else to serve them.

I haven't got any candles.

Now, come on, Ambrose.

Get down, quick.

Huh?

Well, what are you going to give them?

You tell the senor and senora that luncheon is ready.

What are you going to serve?

Miracles?

Ambrose, never ask questions.

You're only the assistant.

Now, go.

Well...

This is the first time I ever told a lie in my life.

Emil!

Just in time, did you bring us?

Mr. Larry, I always keep my promises.

Kidney omelet.

Chicken and casserole.

Carrots and cream.

Potatoes au gratin.

And the dessert.

Bananas and liqueur.

You're a marvel.

Let me know what you want for dinner and I'll cook it for you.

You know, Emil, you saved my job.

You saved me a lot of money.

Many times.

When I wanted to bet on your horses.

And you wouldn't let me.

That Mrs. Senora said that she couldn't wait any longer than...

Well...

Let's see...

I think we'll serve the kidney omelet first.

Yes, we will.

Since when do bananas have kidneys?

I don't know, Ambrose.

That's the dessert.

Bananas and liqueur.

The kidneys are on the other side.

We'll serve them first.

Well, for God's sake.

We serve lunch for two at once.

Yes, sir.

I mean...

Mike, I don't know where...

Or who... Or what...

When...

You can't cook.

I know you can't cook.

Sir... Oh, I'm living a lie.

Watch the door, Ambrose.

Be careful with that door.

Oh, my God.

Hey, hold it, Ambrose!

Where am I?

Where's my glasses?

Here they are.

Thank you.

Listen, you...

Come here, I've got to talk to you.

Now tell me, who cooked that lunch?

They sent it over from the Café Monopole.

And you think you can get away with that?

So...

So, this is Larry.

I am Senor Cortez.

How do you do, Senor?

Until now, we only talked over the telephone.

And what a lunch!

I'll raise immediately your wages.

Senor!

Ambrose!

Excuse me.

Be careful.

The door is open.

Your lunch was magnificent.

Tell me, how do you do it?

Well, I don't.

That is, I...

I mean, I... I don't worry about it.

It just comes to me.

I'll tell you the sign.

A man wants to turn on the gas.

Well, he must have the wrong number.

What?

I say, he must have the wrong number.

Oh, I'll go and ask him.

Yes, he must have the wrong number.

I say, turn on the gas.

Of course he has the wrong number.

Turn on.

The man still wants to turn on the gas.

Excuse me, senor.

The man has gone downstairs.

That is good.

I have a surprise for you.

Surprise?

Yes, you are leaving London.

Did he say, leave London?

Did you say, leave London?

Yes, leave London.

You see, I'm going on a business trip to Monte Carlo.

My wife, she prefers to remain in England, so I bought her a beautiful estate.

But, senor, I'm one of those cooks who cannot leave London.

We can't even leave this neighborhood.

No, sir.

Oh, but I had planned to put you in charge.

No, senor.

Let you hire all these servants.

No, sir.

Oh, please, if you would only try the place down in Longshire.

You should see how beautiful it is.

Longshire?

Longshire?

Any place near the estate of the Earl of Farrington?

Yes, Farrington Hall.

It joins the place I bought.

Do you know the Earl?

No, I know someone in his household.

Ah, then you accept?

I, I...

I accept.

That is fine.

That is good.

I go tell my wife.

You accept.

That is good.

I go tell my wife.

Longshire.

We can't cook down there with no cafe to back us up.

What are we gonna live on, love?

I hope so.

Ambrose, I've been all around the state.

Nice little place.

Yeah.

Hey, what is it?

What are you doing, Ambrose?

Well, you've seen these miniature golf courses.

Yeah.

Well, this is a miniature, miniature golf course.

Oh.

Yeah, I just got it finished.

How many holes?

Five.

You want to play around?

Sure.

All right.

Where do you start?

Right here, this is the first one, right here.

You caddy for me.

Caddy, huh?

Yeah.

All right, now I'll tee off first.

I'll show you how it's done.

Go ahead.

You have to use a little bit of salt.

Not very much.

Now, now come here, I'll show you, see?

You go over the ladle, through the donut, and into the carrot.

I see.

That's the first shot.

First shot.

If you make it.

Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't.

Now, I'll try this one.

Now, watch me closely.

Uh-uh, uh-uh.

Huh?

You'll flight with that.

Oh, you think?

Yeah.

That's a spoon shot.

Spoon?

Uh-huh.

Well, I'm not very good with a spoon.

No?

I'll try it.

Better rub it off.

Watch your stance.

Huh?

Back slowly.

I'm playing this hole.

Please.

Got in there rough, the first shot.

Take another shot.

Yeah, I will.

You're right by the carrot there.

Mr. Larry?

Yes?

Here are the double duty servants you ordered, sir.

Fine, great.

Show them right in.

Yes, sir.

Don't forget Ambrose.

You're between the carrot and the donut.

Not now.

Huh?

The housemaid, who can cook soups.

The footman, who cooks fish.

The combination gardener and vegetable cook.

The chauffeur, who makes pastries and pudding.

Second maid and salad specialist.

And I am the roasting butler.

I see.

And the gentleman behind you?

That's me, sir.

I do odd jobs.

A little bit of everything, sir.

What do you cook?

Hash.

Hash?

Sold.

I'll take the lot.

Thank you, sir.

Now I can see how you're going to cook.

By remote control.

The wife of Mr. Brooks.

Oh, please.

Uh, who is this from?

Senor Cortez.

We're fired.

No, no.

Wife missed train today.

She will take same train tomorrow.

She missed today.

So be sure you meet same train tomorrow.

I am taking train today from Monte Carlo.

Adios.

He should have stuck to Spanish.

Uh, you can start your work by having the day off.

Ambrose will take care of you.

Any answer, sir?

No.

Oh, by the way.

Do you know the road to Farrington Hall?

Yes, sir.

Straight ahead to the left.

To the left?

Right.

How about some miniature, miniature golf?

Huh?

Come on.

We'll try some portions.

Come on.

What is it?

Come on now.

Now come right around here.

Come right around.

Wait, we start over on this side, see?

Say, Eleanor.

Do you think I get enough spring in my dive?

Speaking of spring, I'm terribly in love, Sue.

If you'll unlock the gate, I'll come in.

Sue, did you see what I saw?

Well, since there's no boy, we might as well dress.

Come on, darling.

Whoa, boy.

Whoa, fella.

Whoa, boy.

Hold off.

Runaway.

Glad I could save you.

Runaway?

Save me?

Oh, I see.

You thought... Oh, no, no, no, no.

I was driving from in here.

You see, we're having an economy wave at Farrington Hall.

And my Aunt Lady Brunella let the coachman go.

And as a gentleman really can't drive from the

coachman's seat, I had to fix up this arrangement.

Did you say Farrington Hall?

The home of Lady Eleanor Farrington?

Oh, you know Eleanor?

Well, I met her.

That is, briefly in London.

Oh, I'm Lord Farrington.

Oh, I didn't know she was married.

Oh, no.

No, I'm Eustace.

Her first cousin, once removed.

Oh, not her husband?

No.

Oh, gee, great.

Fine, thanks.

Bravo, bravo.

Yes, quite so.

Bravo.

I say, aren't you the foreign chap who bought a place around here?

Aren't you at Runworth?

I... Yes, yes, I'm at Runworth.

Well, I say now, why not be neighborly and come along for tea?

Well, I...

Well, you see... No, I think I'd better... I'd better run along.

Oh, no trouble.

Buckets of tea, all ready.

And Eleanor will be awfully glad to see you, I'm sure.

Oh, would she?

Quite.

So, tea with who?

They're having tea on the terrace.

A tie-wacker will show you.

Oh, I'll join you as soon as I've given the horse his tea.

Thanks.

Tea with who?

Eleanor, what are you going to wear?

Oh, I don't know.

Do you like my white organdy?

Do I?

That's the one.

Sue!

Yeah?

Do you see a boy on the terrace?

I most certainly do.

Sue, if you do, it's he.

Come on, let's hurry and dress.

He may get away again.

What ho!

What ho!

What ho!

What ho!

What ho!

What ho!

What ho!

What ho!

What ho!

What ho!

What do you shoot?

Butlers.

Butlers?

Or footmen.

We hunt all over the neighborhood for them.

Live here?

For morning.

Eustace is tutoring us.

We're brothers.

Our names are Neatsford.

This is Conrad, and this is Cyril, and this is Clarence, and this is Cutsford.

And I'm... Claude.

Yes, Claude.

Claude.

Boys, are you washed?

Show me your hands, every one of you.

I thought so.

Go along and wash, all of you.

Young man...

I remember you.

Really?

Come to see Ellen, I suppose.

Well, I'd certainly appreciate it.

Quite.

If you'll follow the butler, please.

Oh, thanks.

This way, sir.

You don't know how much I appreciate this.

Elder!

Elder!

I've been expecting you.

He's gone again.

They threw me out.

Yeah, I knew they would.

It's just a question of which gate.

Why were you so sure?

Well, families don't like the neighbor's cook coming over to woo the daughter.

You're dead right.

I was a fool to forget that.

What have I to offer her?

I think it's a leg of lamb tonight.

No.

No, the trouble is I'm... I'm a...

What do you call... What's the word?

What do you call a fellow who can look at a cottage and make you think it's a castle?

A real estate agent.

No.

No, a visionary.

What?

A visionary.

You know, Ambrose, we've had some tough breaks lately.

Stranded over here, that's okay.

But that girl in there...

What right has life got to show me a girl like that when I can't have her?

There she is in there for anybody else but me.

And who'll get her?

Someone who doesn't need her, and... and that's... that's life.

Life isn't the word I had in mind for it.

Come on, let's go.

Boys, did one of you throw this at me?

It's mine, it's been in the butler.

Tie-whacker, did you throw this at me?

Why, no, miss.

I saw it passing through mid-air, but I took it for a swallow.

Well, take it for me.

Oh, la!

That's it all, tie-whacker.

That simply isn't done, throwing fruit about.

Oh, well, well, well.

Hey, say, what have you done with him?

With whom?

The chappy, the American.

The American?

I got rid of him.

I had tie-whacker send him away.

Without tea?

You sent him away without tea?

Oh, how... how unspotting.

How un-English.

Eustace, what are you talking about?

What's all this toshpale?

Aunt Ronella, you've insulted our neighbour.

Neighbour?

You don't mean to say he's had the audacity to move into the county?

He's at Rummelworth.

You remember, we heard the place was bought by a rich South American.

Well, the report should have been a rich North American.

Rich?

You don't mean to say that he's rich?

Can't you tell by his clothes?

I wish I knew his tailor.

And he had marvellous cars.

Seven or eight of them.

I thought you were dying to marry Eleanor off to someone like him.

Oh, please.

Not before our guests.

Looks like you've bungled it, auntie.

I say, why not let me go to him and apologise?

I could say that you're batty.

That you have a mania for putting people off the premises.

I'm going to Rummelworth.

Is my car back from the repair shop?

I think not.

Then harness the horse.

Oh, I say.

The horse is just having his tea.

Now, put yourself in the horse's place.

You'd be very annoyed.

Boys!

Did you say he was a young man?

Well, you see, I met him on the road.

That's quite enough.

Psywhacker, remove the pastry.

Come.

Good hunting.

It ought to hold now.

That's the fourth time that thing's broken since we left the station.

That's five.

All right.

Hold it.

There we go.

Whoa!

Hold it!

It's all right.

All set this time.

We got a pretty good load, you know.

Yeah.

I hear when Signora married her, she was a mere slip of a girl.

Now she's a landslide.

Hey, be careful.

She's liable to understand you.

She can't even hear.

She's deaf as a haddock.

Let her go.

All set, Signora?

I'll have to speak a little louder.

All set, Signora?

That's the worst thing you can do.

Speak soft, but distinct, so she can read your lips.

All set, Signora?

Si, si.

Muy bien.

Vamanos.

She understood me.

You don't have to talk to me like that.

I'm not deaf.

Let's go, boy.

Ambrose, slow down.

It's that beautiful girl up ahead.

What?

I'm attached to her.

Hey, lady!

Hey!

Hey, lady!

I'll stay and go in.

Let the car do.

Not on your life.

What's that?

Oh, my goodness gracious!

Quick!

The rope!

The rope!

The rope!

Come on!

Hold on!

The rope!

Listen!

Listen!

Oh, Ambrose!

Wait for me!

Wait for me!

What's the matter there?

Is that you?

It's you.

Listen here!

What do you mean by running me down the road for a half a mile?

What do you mean by it?

Well, our bumper... Oh, don't try to tell me anything about bumpers.

It's reckless.

It's careless driving.

It's men like you that cause girls like me to have accidents.

Pardon me.

The Signora's just about due.

Hey!

Ambrose!

Ambrose!

Ambrose, I'm... Oh!

Get off this break, will you?

No, Ambrose!

What was that?

The Signora!

What an extraordinary way to talk!

Help!

What happened?

Get down!

Have you found a hostage?

Hey!

Hey!

She's up in the tree!

Hey, she's up in the tree!

Hey!

Hey, you!

There's something under here!

Wait!

Are you there?

Ah, death as I had it!

Here!

Here I am!

Oh!

He!

Oh!

He!

Oh!

Signora!

Signora!

Are you all right?

Yes, but we don't...

No, no, no.

Nothing broken.

Uh, the rope broke.

Oh, I know the rope broke, you naughty boy!

Now, get me out of that hole, will you?

My hero!

Here, boy, help.

Signora!

Signora!

Is she all right?

Her axel sprung, but I think they can get her home.

Axel sprung?

I mean the woman, you idiot!

Oh!

Oh, the woman!

Oh, yes, she's all right, thanks to her upholstery.

Signora!

Signora!

I'll do it, I'll do it.

Signora!

Signora!

Signora!

Signora!

Signora!

Signora!

Signora!

Signora!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh, are you all right?

Huh?

Yeah, I'm... Do you realize?

Huh?

You saved my life a minute ago.

Yeah, and I had such a good time doing it, I'm almost ashamed.

Well, I'd like to shake your hand.

Oh, no, it's... it's too dirty.

I'm afraid you'll have to kiss me instead.

Huh?

You're wonderful!

No, no, maybe, maybe you'd better shake hands with me.

Signora, the chair.

You'll be so much more comfortable up there, and you must be dreadfully exhausted.

Oh, my dear Signora.

Hey!

Hey, Larry!

Pardon me, Elmer.

Get a hold of that.

There you are.

Auntie, I'd like to speak to that young man

privately, but it wouldn't be proper, would it?

Certainly not.

But go right ahead.

Quit pushing.

Out of the damn road.

Ow!

My head now.

Larry, something I want to tell you privately.

Huh?

Thanks.

Thanks.

This is going to be difficult to say.

Would you mind looking in that direction?

Thank you.

I love you.

Oh, please don't turn.

You love me?

Madly.

That's why I had to tell you, because you keep disappearing.

And every time I see you, my heart jumps.

And every time you disappear, well, it jumps double.

I thought maybe if you knew, you would stay.

But I've never done anything to make you love me.

That's just the point.

Whenever a man sets out deliberately to make a girl love him, she never does.

But I've never even sent you any presents.

That's what makes me feel as if we were married.

You know, Larry, you're the first boy I've ever met who hasn't sent me presents.

It was awfully clever of you not to.

I've sat up nights wondering why you didn't.

Eleanor, I love you.

Madly?

Madlier, I think.

Well, goodbye.

Goodbye.

Next time we meet, I think we could kiss.

Sure, you bet.

Fine, great.

Goodbye.

We meet again.

Oh, then you'll stay?

You bet I will.

Oh, Larry, I knew you'd like Lomeshire.

Uh-huh.

Wonderful hunting.

Larry.

Oh, and if you hurry, you'll have time to enter a horse in a steeplechase.

Steeplechase?

Next Wednesday.

It's the big moment of our sporting season.

Of course you want a jumper.

Yes, I brought one over from America.

His name's Gangster.

Fair?

Like a shot.

Oh, I'll bet on him.

And, Larry, I want you to wear my colors.

Certainly.

Oh, that's marvelous.

Now, all together.

One.

Two.

Three.

Hey.

Hey, Larry, come here.

Come here and help us.

Ambrose is having Senora trouble.

We better help him.

Hold on.

Hold on.

Give us some help.

Come on, boys, all together.

One.

Come on.

Two.

Come on, boys.

Thank you, my lord.

Thank you.

Isn't that great?

Adios, Senora.

Adios, gracias.

Ciao, inferno.

Ciao, inferno.

No.

Boy, I'm way up there in seventh heaven.

I'm one floor above you in heaven number eight.

Yeah, you better be careful.

You know, that girl was in the college.

Oh, that's all right.

My last girl was in a theatrical profession, too.

Yeah, an actress?

A charrette.

Gentlemen.

Huh?

Gentlemen.

Let's go home.

Okay, okay, Senora.

Oh, I forgot you were there.

Where is Larry?

Oh, where is my breakfast?

I'm so hungry.

Oh, I'm starving.

Where is that cook?

Oh, they'll be here in a minute, madam.

Huh?

They'll be... There they are, now.

Oh, yes.

Come, come.

Come.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning, Larry.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Come, come.

Oh, come, come.

Your breakfast.

Come closer, closer.

Oh, there, there.

Just a minute, Senora.

Yeah?

Gracias.

Gracias.

Some sugar?

Yes, sugar, please.

Sugar, all right.

Sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar.

Sugar, sugar.

Here.

Here.

Sugar.

There, there.

Cream, cream, cream, cream.

Cook, the butter is no good.

I am three days here and still the butter is no good.

I'm very sorry, Senora.

Butter.

I'm very sorry, Senora.

The car we use for delivery is still being repaired.

What can we do to have fresh butter?

Keep a horse.

Cows give butter, not horses.

No, no, no, no.

Don't contradict Larry.

Maybe he took the horse into it.

You see, Senora, with a horse I could go hunting.

Hunting all over the neighborhood for better butter.

Do I have the Senora's permission to buy the horse?

And the wagon, too, if you like it.

The horse will be quite enough for luncheon tomorrow.

The Senora will have better butter.

I thank the Senora.

I tell you what I expect from you.

What a reward.

I want you to give me five desserts for my dinner.

I'm a big girl, you know.

And I need them.

Five desserts.

Five, Senora?

I'll give you six.

Six?

Oh, you're a darling.

He's a darling.

If you mean that seriously, the chauffeur won't have his day off.

Oh, he says he'll give you six and he'll make it himself.

Oh, that's right.

Big pudding.

Big pudding.

Tomorrow.

Big pudding.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Listen, Ambrose, you almost spoiled everything.

Come here.

When you say a horse, you don't mean to bring that brute gangster back in our lives.

You bet I'll ride that horse.

I promise the girl.

Hey, you.

Listen, young man, I'll give you 48 hours to tell the truth.

I've had enough.

I believe she has.

Look... Oh, shut up, you.

You're going to tell that Farringdon girl that you're a cook or I will.

But why?

What why?

Because I was her mother's maid and I don't intend to have any harm come to that girl.

What's your game, anyhow?

Pretending to her you're a gentleman and

pretending to Senor Cortez that you're a cook.

I'll give you 48 hours.

That's six days.

Two days, Ambrose.

No, Larry, eight hour day, 48 hours, six days.

48 hours to tell the truth.

Yes, ma'am.

She means two days.

I'll make sure.

I'll tell Lady Eleanor that you're here.

Thank you.

Eleanor?

I'm not the man you think I...

I've decided to tell the whole truth about myself.

I was born in Kansas in 1904.

What ho!

What ho?

Just passing through.

I promised Auntie I'd swab off all the statues on the roof garden.

The nymphs are getting filthy.

Oh, I say, this is like running into you.

As soon as I finish my swabbing, I've got to propose to Sue.

And so...

No comment?

What?

I encountered a pickled onion at lunch.

Can you identify it as I breathe?

Breathe again.

No, I carry away no impression of onion.

Oh, splendid.

Oh, by the way, while we're at it...

Licorice?

Licorice?

You mean that black candy that kisses you?

No, no, no, I mean liquor, wine.

Try again.

Once more.

No, no, I wouldn't say licorice.

What have you been doing?

Breathing.

Eustace, there are several very important things for you to do...

and I find you here breathing to the roof.

You'll excuse us, please.

Certainly.

I was born in Kansas during the cyclone of 1904.

And to be...

or not to be...

Gangsters here!

Yeah, I took delivery.

Oh, good old gangster.

Be careful.

How is he?

How is he, Ambrose?

Oh, he's all right.

You know, that horse recognized me.

How an animal can remember...

Miss Ambrose, I'm waiting for Eleanor to tell her, so...

Oh, well, I'm looking for Sue to ask her.

Have you seen her anywhere?

Yes, she was around here.

I think she's out in the garden.

No, no, she isn't.

I looked out there.

Well, look.

Where?

No, no, I mean...

Eustace is upstairs.

He'll help you find Sue.

Well, I'm not looking for him.

Come on, Ambrose.

Now, run along, Ambrose.

Did you say run?

Yeah.

Go on, be a good fella.

All right.

I decided to tell the whole truth about myself.

I was born in the state of cyclone in the...

I was born in the state of...

I decided to tell the whole truth about myself.

I... I...

I decided to tell the whole truth about you.

I think you're the most beautiful girl... Oh, Barry, go into details.

I love this.

You know, I... I... I think...

I... I know.

I know you're the most wonderful, beautiful girl.

Darling, this must go on forever.

48 hours.

What's this?

I mean, oh, nothing.

Eleanor, if you realize who and what I am, I wonder if...

Oh, Larry, all I need to realize is that you're the one I've been looking for.

And here you are.

Oh, gee.

The only time I can talk to you is when you're not around.

Eleanor, suppose I had to go away, very far away in a couple of days.

I'd go along.

Would you?

Why, certainly.

Well, we'll end.

Certainly.

You would?

Have you seen...

Oh, pardon me.

I... I guess I'm intruding.

Oh, cut, cut and triple cut.

I'm only swabbing a nymph.

Oh.

Oh, it's a statue.

Quite.

Tell me, have you seen Sue?

Not yet, but I'll be looking her up as soon as the nymph is swabbed.

I have to propose to her.

You do?

Why?

I've pruned her as orders.

Well, I came over to propose to her, too.

Really?

Uh-huh.

Do you love her?

Oh, no.

But then, I'm only proposing marriage.

Oh.

I see Sue.

Where?

She's heading up here.

Look, dear boy.

I have a terrific idea.

Where?

I've proposed to her for you.

Would you?

Say, that's a great idea.

Well, of course, the idea isn't exactly original of me.

No?

No.

The French poet Rostand and Debussy employ a similar device in Cyrano and Les

Caprices de Marianne.

To say nothing of your American longfellow in the courtship of Miles Stadich.

Well, while you're doing it, I'll nob your swim.

I beg your pardon?

I'll nob you.

I'll wash your statue.

Oh, right-o.

Watto, Watto.

Sue, it is luck.

Eustace, I...

Sue, have you ever stopped to think that young men dream of you?

Eustace, do you dream of me?

Do I?

Oh, no.

Oh, mind you, I've tried.

I've tried sleeping on my left side.

I even tried putting one of your garters under my pillow.

But I can't seem to dream of you.

Oh, wait.

Sue, will you marry me?

No.

No?

Splendid.

No, no, no, no, no!

What are you doing?

I'm telling the birds, telling the bees, telling the flowers, telling the trees.

Sue, the suitable suitor for you is Ambrose.

You will find him clean about the house.

His miniature golf handicap is...

four.

He discards from strength.

He has never worn a beret.

Sue, pardon me?

With pleasure.

I'd better take over the work.

Oh, all right.

Here, you hold these.

I don't want her to know I'm nearsighted.

Right-o.

Where is she?

There she is.

Where?

Over there.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Oh, Sue!

Ambrose!

Ambrose!

Get up here, quick!

You mustn't get up here like that!

What have you been doing, Ambrose?

Sue, I've been looking for you.

Yes, Ambrose.

Sue...

Sue, there's something I've got to ask you.

Yes!

Well, Sue... Yes?

What do you know that's good?

Good?

Oh, my goodness.

Congratulations.

Oh, darling.

No, I'll be seeing you.

Oh, Ambrose!

Oh, my dear!

Ambrose!

Oh, I'm a great kidder.

It's a good thing this bush was here to break my fall.

I'll... I'll step down.

You just... I thought it was all right.

Oh, I know he's killing himself.

Ambrose, are you hurt?

Oh, not much, Sue.

Oh, I see.

Good boy.

Here are your glasses.

Oh, my hero.

Are you sure you're all right?

No, Sue, I'm all right.

Gangster!

Oh, my dear!

Does that noise downstairs bother the senora?

Shall I stop it?

Huh?

Does the noise downstairs bother the senora?

Speak loud!

Speak loud!

Does the noise bother the senora?

Why don't you speak louder?

This is a havoc.

Haddock!

I am the father Haddock!

You know what I like to do to you?

I like to drop on you from a high window.

Where is Larry?

Oh, he's... he's downstairs with a gang of people chasing around.

Still chasing?

It is not until this afternoon.

I bet a hundred pounds in Larry's horse.

And the housekeeper bet a shirt on him.

I did too.

Did he?

Oh, lovely.

I'm sure he will.

Hey, I'm over here.

Who are these people?

The very best families in the county, senor.

Oh, I see.

They come here to welcome me.

May I suggest, sir, you're just in time to get a bet down on Gangster.

Gangster?

The racehorse Mr. Larry bought for you, sir.

My shirt is on him.

Larry bought it?

He bought for me a racehorse?

Where is Larry?

Send him to me.

He's at breakfast with the guests, sir.

He said not to disturb him.

What?

He's at breakfast with the guests?

Send him to me.

Yes, sir.

Will you pardon me?

Hello, uh... So, what is this, huh?

What is this?

You breakfast with the guests at my expense.

And you buy racehorses at my expense.

Larry, you go.

You are discharged.

Get these people out of here.

But, senor, you see, I...

I will not humiliate you before them, but get them out of here.

You're quite right, senor.

Quite right.

Would you come in with me, please?

No, what, no, what, no!

Speech!

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present senor Cortez, the real owner of Runnelworth.

And I'm Larry Brooks, his cook.

I lied to all of you.

I'm only his servant.

Sir.

I knew he was a fool.

Poor Eleanor, there must be some mistake.

A confession to you, sir.

I am not a cook.

He's a millionaire.

Was, not is.

I have nothing.

I had hopes of winning the race today.

But, well, everything's gone now.

I'm terribly sorry it happened.

I'm leaving on the first train, senor.

Oh, thanks.

Yeah, but wait a minute.

Larry, I'll be back.

Don't go away.

I'll pack.

Ambrose, does this make any difference with Sue?

Oh, no, she's glad.

She's always wanted to marry a poor man.

Isn't that rich?

I was afraid she'd think you were unworthy.

Oh, she does, but she's willing to be big about it.

Come on, let's get up there before they come out and find out that we're not.

Madam, please send the boy, Larry, today.

We'll bet everything we own on him.

Diego, you must let the boy ride the horse in the race.

Now, would you like to see me lose one hundred pounds?

Would I like to see you lose one hundred pounds?

Diego, English money, pounds.

You bet on this race?

Yes, I'm in the boy, too.

And these people, too, bet in the race.

You've got every penny on him.

Now, Diego, get the boy before it is too late.

But, my dear, you do not understand.

No, no, no, you do not understand.

Liero, get the boy before it is too late.

Would there be any objection if Mr. Brooks were to ride my horse against me?

No, no, Robert.

Eustace, what did Eleanor say?

Where did Eleanor go?

She said nothing.

And she went anywhere.

What do you mean?

Well, she disappeared without a word.

It must be terribly humiliating for her.

I've got to find her.

Larry, will you ride Gangster for me, please, for my...

Yes, for his sake, for my sake, for my hundred pounds.

You can't in that mood you're in.

You'll never get through alive.

What does that matter?

For my sake.

All right, all right, I'll go through with it.

He'll be killed and he won't let his best friend tell him.

He's really going to ride that horse.

I wish, I wish he'd fall down and break his leg and they'd have to shoot him.

Oh, you want your best friend.

Now, get off the rail and come inside.

Where's Larry?

Oh, my boy, I'm so excited.

I must kiss you.

Oh, good luck, eh?

Don't do that.

It's bad luck.

No, it is not.

You're not a boy.

Come on, stop it.

Oh, I don't know what's going on, Larry.

She dashed out of the house and no one has seen her since.

Gee, yesterday I felt great about the race, but today I feel sort of sick.

Well, there aren't any words to tell you how I feel.

I waited hours for you and the hot sun on that old railway platform.

Railway platform?

To go away with you.

With me?

Back to London, face poverty and... with me?

Oh, Larry, that's the way my ticket reads.

Wherever you go, me too.

Now, get back, everybody.

Give him room.

And he probably wants a kiss.

No.

He doesn't want a kiss.

What an amazing day.

No, I can't let you throw yourself away on me.

But, Larry, I haven't any money.

Auntie was counting on me to make a rich marriage and save Barrington Hall.

The roof's falling in, you know.

Yes, and then here I come along and that's the end of Barrington Hall.

No, Eleanor, you've got to go back home.

Will not.

That a girl, Eleanor.

You know, Eleanor, if I could win that race,

well, we'd have enough to get started on.

In a small way.

Oh, Larry, win that race.

Oh, Larry, win that race.

Go!

Wrong horse!

Wrong horse!

You shall be manager for my English interest.

Oh, I must give you.

I must give you.

I'm so happy.

I must give you.

I must give you, too.

Oh, I've seen it.

I've seen it, too.

I want to congratulate that horse.

Oh, good old gangster.

Oh, boy, isn't that fun, huh?

What is that?

You naughty boy!
