- Those colours are indefinite - But his composition is magnificent

I'd like to have it for my collection.

Monsieur Dubois, that bust of Du Barry. How did Lady Bushman acquire it?

It's from the collection of Count Djakar.

An original pageout,an exceptional fine bisque

Please, ladies and gentlemen, notice the perfection of this little piece

Especially the delicacies of detail and the classic line of the figures.

- Amazing! - Of course, one must never forget

that Grecian line owes to the Egyptians...

which, in turn, gave birth to the em....

Oh, what charm, what symmetry, what harmony!

But monsieur, you embarrass me...

Forgive me, madame, but perhaps I have an excuse.

I am Professor Hartman of the Royal Academy in Budapest, and...

I was admiring that beautiful pendant

The sixteenth century, is it?

Yes and no.

I don't understand the "no".

It's a long story and very old one

Please tell me, Madame. I am very curious.

- No, not... - Do tell me,please, Madame!

Well,one of my ancestors, Anastasia Vronsky

was greatly beloved by Tsar Ivan

-Champagne,Madame? - Yes please.

Oh,champagne for everybody, please go ahead !

And then,and then?

To show his admiration, he ordered a pendant made

Which he hoped would prove to be the envy of the court

So I wasn't mistaken - it is the sixteenth century!

A tiny bit

This jewel is a copy.

This is an imitation?

- May I please look at it closer? - Yes,of course

Oh, please go on, tell us what happened ?

It became the most priced possession of the Vronsky women.

-Madame -Merci

Unfortunately, my grandfather gave it to a ballerina

with whom he was terribly infatuated

He had this copy made so that my grandmother wouldn't miss the original.

It is a remarkable reproduction!

-It had to be - Thank you.

-Oh, I'm so sorry,Madame - Nothing at all

-I'm terribly sorry -Please,excuse me a moment

Madame, it is so clumsy of me.

Give me a whiskey straight.

-Brown And White, please. - Oui, monsieur.

Purchased?

Oh no, it belongs to Countess Vronsky.

-Oh, Countess Vronsky -Do you know the Countess?

I've met her here and there a very charming person

Give me another one,will you

-She must be very rich - She was

Her fortune now is memory

But she still has some beautiful pieces of jewelry

Nr 61, "His man and hunter".

-This is very interesting -Have you purchased these royal jewelry?

Royal? It might be imperial, if it wasn't a fake

-May I see it for a moment - Yes please...

Oh,my friend

This pendant is worth a fortune.

Monsieur Dubois, granted that you are a great expert, but for once you're wrong.

This jewel is false

I will gladly pay 200,000 francs for this pendant.

I have statutory convinced you

As I was saying this "Man and Hunter" -

One of the most interesting...

Countess...

Forgive me if I made you wait.

Would you think me imaginative if I told you when I look at this stones

In my mind comes up a picture of old Russia and Tsar Ivan

How lovely

I am an odd sort of person,you know

I hate to give this back to you, you wouldn't sell it, would you?

It never occurred to me.

Oh, what a pity...

But if someone would offer you I don't know how much say

- 5,000 francs? - Why should you want it?

I told you,it's worth nothing

Of course...

You may not know it but I have my romantic,poetic side

I know, I don't look it But I'm really two people.

The artist and the businessman.

And the artist in me who offers you 10,000 francs!

Help me with this,will you,please

Countess,I want this little pendant as a souvenir

and that's why I offer you 15,000 francs.

Careful, you scratched me!

25 000 francs!

Thank you, monsieur.

But this jewelry is all that is left to me of my family,my memories and my country.

Believe me, monsieur, one does not sell all that for a few francs

-And besides, I think you're joking - But I am not !

50 000 francs!

I'm a obstinate man, Countess, often too obstinate for my own good

It is difficult to refuse such an offer

- Then you'll take it? - No.

- No,really I couldn't.. -Countess!

You see, it wouldn't be right to sell you a worthless imitation for 50,000 francs.

But you told me it's a fake! You won't be cheating anyone!

-Very well,you may have it -Thank you, countess!

But only if you put it writing that I warned you that the jewel is worthless.

Yes, I'd be glad to!

At least my conscience will be clear.

You Russians are strange people.

Very strange.

She wants a letter...

Yesterday you offered me 200,000 francs for this

I remember the conversations...

Mind you I've been offered more

but because I want to dispose of it quickly I decided to let you have it

-That's kind of you,Monsieur - Oh, not at all, not at all.

And now - will you get out of here or shall I call the police?

But... But I do not understand...

This is just a cheap imitation of the pendant you showed me yesterday.

And your trick is even cheaper! Out!

-Oh... you mean it's worthless? - Oh no...

It's worth all of fifty francs.

Fifty fr...

Oh, Monsieur Gautier!

Oh, countess... I've been looking for you.

How very nice of you to come and see me off

Oh,not at all,not at all

About this pendant, Countess...

I decided that I shouldn't deprive you of an heirloom, which means so much to you.

Please don't worry about me, monsieur.

As long as you are happy, I have no regrets

But I have!I've decided that I had no right to take it away from you!

-Let's call the deal off -I wouldn't think of it.

-You wanted it so badly -But it's worthless!

Of course it is. I warned you, you even put it in writing.

But it's not fair! I paid 50,000 francs for it!

That was the poet in you don't you remember?

-But -Bye!-Good bye

Come in.

-Countess Vronsky? - Yes.

Excuse my intrusion.Count Leopold

-I believe you know Professor Hartman? - Slightly

Countess,I wonder whether I could interest you in a precious family heirloom?

It has a magical qualities.

You can sell it,and sell it over and over

And still have it

Tanya, you were magnificent

-Wasn't she, Andre? -Every inch the Countess Vronsky

Exquisite

Really

I do not think that my impersonation of Professor Hartman was half bad.

Weren't you afraid of stepping somewhat out of character

when you lifted the Ambassador's wallet?

- You didn't..- Yes he stole - Well, yes, I did..

I tried to restrain myself, but I can't

I guess I'm just a pathological case.

Polo, I warn you for the last time...

I won't have our enterprises endangered

by anymore of your small time thievery

André, leave him,alone, he won't do it again

He'd better not

Thank you, Tanya, you are very considerate

But you really don't belong in this sort of business

Why not?

Because it's dishonest!

That's very funny coming from you, Polo.

- I said so - I'm different,Tanya

I'm a weak character, so is my whole family.

Polo, do your ducking?

Waddle away, while I "prendre your fate"

All right I'll go

But I'm hurt

Why do you treat the poor fellow like that?

He tries so hard...

It's just he tries too hard. It gets on my nerves.

How can I keep him in line

when you pet him and openly take his part?

Andre, he can not help it, he's a kleptomaniac.

This morning he took a powder puff out of my pocket.

What for? I don't know.

Well, Tanya...

Well, Andre

You know, Tanya...

Our association up to the date has been rather pleasant one, hasn't it?

Can't we keep it that way?

Can't we make it a little more pleasant?

I'm afraid not.

Tanya, you got me all wrong

But more important than all that it isn't very inspiring to wake up

and see Polo's moon face the first thing every morning is it?

Particularly for me, with my sense of beauty.

I know all about your sense of beauty,Andre

And I beg to remind you, my dear Tanya

that had it not been for my sense of beauty

you would now be what?

A third-rate ballet dancer instead of first-class...

- Third-rate? -I said, third-rate

And please, don't try to overawe with that countess's stuff,will you?

Have a heart, after all, it was I who invented it.

Indeed you did, you invented me.

From the tops of my hat to the tips of my slippers

even the shape of my hair,my lipstick and my nail polish

Not to speak about my character and behavior

Well, you didn't do so badly following my directions did you?

When I first met you, you were practically impossible.

It was I who saw the potential possibilities within you

But...after all.

Why quibble and quarrel of such unimportant details?

We are much too good a combination.

- Aren't we? - So we are.

What's this?

Oh, a bit chipped up must have happened in a rush

I'm so sorry.

How often did I tell you not to- grab things so roughly.

I really shouldn't distress you so much, Andre.

Hold that

You're so funny, Andre. You,and your nails

Funny about it?

Just part of my invention.

and

you can't blame me for at least applied..

for a patent to that invention of mine,can you?

I would have been insulted if you hadn't

Consistently and regularly.

And... you won't be angry if I...

- Keep on trying? - Why should I?

I might not change my mind

and then I might, who knows?

And now, Andre, I wish you'd leave me alone.

I had a very strenuous day.

All right, Tanya.

Good night, Andre. Sleep tight.

Thanks and... pleasant dreams.

I am Countess Vronsky!

I heard some of the stories that you've been spreading about me,Signor Rosselli!

I warn you - against repeating any more of this malicious gossip!

But I'm not Signor Rosselli!

You are not Signor Rosselli?

No, I do not even know him.

Oh, I made a terrible mistake!

Oh, that's all right!

-I don't know what to say! -Say nothing, Countess.

Even been slapped by such a beautiful woman is an event.

I only wish there was some way I could make amends

There is...

You could dine with me.

But we haven't met yet, signor...

Oh, permit me to introduce myself...

I'm Herr Protz.

Herr Protz...

Tell me, Countess, is this your first visit to Venice?

Oh no, I've been here many times.

-Do you like it? -I love it

What a ravishing woman!

Like a bouquet of spring flowers.

Madame... Monsieur...

Nothing here and nothing there.

Then one little bump as he gets out of the elevator

-Voilà! - Polo,you're marvelous!

Really, Tanya?

Before you forget...

And, Andre, you should be congratulated too.

You never picked a better subject!

-Thanks, countess. -Welcome,Colonel.

Tomorrow Herr Protz will be showering me with gold.

I can just see him:"My dear countess..."

Horrible tragedy has occurred- I've lost your priceless heirloom.

But I insist that you must permit to pay for it.

- In full. -Oh no,Polo.

Herr Protz is much too vain.

Countess, - he'll say...

I walked into the jewelry store...

threw the pendant down and said -

give me 200,000 lire!

And when we have cashed in-

we shall move along to other pastures,

just as green and even greener.

One telegram for monsieur...

Merci.

I'm Countess Vronsky.

I heard the malicious gossip that you've been spreading about me, Monsieur Duval.

-I warn you.. - Just a minute!

You made a slight mistake.

You see, I'm not Monsieur Duval.

-You are not Monsieur Duval? - No I am not

Oh, I'm terribly sorry.

I wish I were so I could slap you right back

I said I was sorry, monsieur.

I will do anything to make amendments

Very well, please,stay out of my sight

You are being insufferable rude!

It's a pleasure

Really, Tanya...

You're taking this little incident much too seriously.

Too seriously?

Publicly beaten and insulted in a hotel,Andre

Is that not enough for you?

You know, Tanya...

This is the first time I've ever seen your remarkable poise of yours desert you

So it's gratifying to learn that under that frigid surface

you do have emotions after all

I don't know, why you are being so superior,Andre

If you remember, monsieur Vernay was your selection

And a very logical selection

I have here a cut out from who is who in France

Vernay, Paul Claude Henri.

Born in Paris in 1914,

September 22nd.

That makes him sweet 25

Astrology speaking he is Virgo.

A very fine and clever people.

I am born under the same sign.

Only son of Claude Vernay,

known on the Paris, London and New York stock exchanges,

Grand Officer of the Order of the Legion of Honor,

and Madame Vernay nee marquise de Denis-Delaney.

A graduate of Oxford, England,

Lieutenant in reserve of the Third Regiment Coersieuills,

member of the racing club France,

polo, yacht and fencing clubs.

Bradstreet quotes him high up in the seven-figures

Did you stick your finger in his eye,dear Tanya

Is that why he was immune to your charms?

Come in!

For you, madame Comtesse.

Monsieur asked me to wait for an answer.

The answer is yes.

Merci, Madame.

Well.

What do you say to this, Colonel?

Will you forgive the unforgivable act and have..

I can read.

... and have dinner with me tonight.

Paul Vernay.

So,he was immune,was he?

Madame la Comtesse..

My most humblest apologies.

There exist no immunity to charms like yours

Your apology,I accept it, Colonel.

The most ridiculous thing I've ever seen

Sitting here exactly five hours, twiddling my thumps.

Maybe poor Tanya having difficulties?

Can't say she is having difficulties, difficulties in remembering why she is here

More more!

Please,please señor...

I am exhausted.My men, they are exhausted too.

And I am exhausted! Come on and sit down.

Do you wish the bill, monsieur?

When I wish the bill, I'll ask for it.

This is a strange place, everyone leave so early

It's not early, madam.

It's almost five o'clock

That'll be all

So

For a lady who doesn't want to go home,you look awfully depressed

The lady just remembered something.

Is it as bad as all that?

It's very, very bad.

You're not going anywhere.

Not until you tell me what's wrong

Do you see this?

Tomorrow I won't have it anymore

I'll have to sell it.

We had it in our family for generations.

Then why sell it?

Because a little ball ended in red,

when it should have landed in black.

The Vronsky never could resist the roulette wheel.

Would you

Would you let me help you?

Oh no, no, no...

I wish you would

-Well, you might do me a favor... -Name it

Perhaps you could sell it for me.

I'm not good at business

I'll be glad to try.How much is it worth?

Two hundred thousand francs.

You are very kind.

Right in the pocket...did you see it?

What do you take me for an amateur?

I might not be able to drink 23 whiskeys, but...

with my own little line, with my eyes and with my fingers,

I'm too an artist!

Good night, Tanya.

- Goodnight... - Paul.

Paul.

- Will you stop that -Stop what?

I've watched you do that every day for years

Over two thousand times.

I've kept quiet, but I can't do it any longer it's too much.

I want to know why five lumps of sugar?

Then - why six, then - why seven...

Then why seven and a half?

I can't stand it any longer!

Good morning.

Andre is not his cheeriest self today

Funny,I never felt better in my life!

But, gentlemen...

I do not work tonight.

Oh, Madame la Comtesse doesn't work tonight...

Isn't that just lovely

We did so well last night that tonight we shall celebrate

Caviar! Champagne!

Seven and a half lumps of sugar in our coffee!

Why not!

Maybe we won't work tomorrow either!

Perhaps not at all this week!

And then again

Why work at all? Let's all retire

We are so rich that we don't know what to do with our money.

Listen, Tanya...

Isn't your heart any longer in your work...

or, is it too much in your work,ha!?

You decide that, Andre.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye?

Sit down...

I'm associated with clods and fools!

Looney maiden pop-eyed idiotic routs

If I am to do the work myself, then I want all the pay myself-

This imbecile

the man with artistic eyes and the artistic hands...

Reached the ability of his artistic career last night!

Instead of lifting the pendant from Vernay's pocket

he picked his lighter!

Anybody can make a mistake...

I say you made a mistake.

Instead of a jewel piece worth 250,000 francs -

a lighter!

A lighter that doesn't even light !

But no lighters ever light.

Well...

Vernay will give it back to me or the money.

Kindly wait until I tell you the whole story

Unfortunately, Vernay will find out that the pendant is a fake

-But it's genuine - Is it?

It is as genuine as your title, Comtesse

Two days ago I lost at roulette...

and sold the real pendant

-Andre, no you didn't - Sold it?

But then Vernay will surely find out

Naturally that's what I've been talking about.

And the only way out for us - is for you to call him up..

and tell him that you changed your mind and you don't want to sell the pendant.

Now do as I tell you.

Operator...

Says Countess Vronsky.

May I please speak with Monsieur Vernay

Thank you.

He's not in.

He left early this morning.

He's probably at the jeweler now..

He'll be here shortly

It's all your fault

Andre

What's the matter with you? Can't you keep your head?

You talk about keeping my head!

Don't you realize that running away is an admission of your guilt?

What do you expect me to do? Staying here and face him

Exactly! Listen to me...

You inherited the pendant from your mother, you understand?

It was considered a precious family heirloom.

How would you supposed to have the slightest thought

that such a jewel piece could possibly be a fraud

You're not supposed to be a jewel expert

And by the way...

You did not ask him for any money

You do not owe him anything.

All you asked was to sell the piece for you

because you are not a businesswoman.

When he'll find out that the pendant is a fake

well, that will be too bad.

But you're the only victim in the case

You're the only loser,no one else

What can he say,except that he feel sorry for you?

Nothing.

Yes...

Yes,you are right.

I lost my head.

Yes?

Vernay!

Have him come up.

Please let him come up.

Fix everything!

Yes, Andre...

Remember what I told you - you're just as shocked as he is.

Come in...

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Am I too early?

No, I was just telephoning you..

- You were? - Yes I...

I wanted to tell you not to bother selling the pendant

- It's really an imposition. -I'm afraid you're too late.

Didn't you say it was worth 200,000 francs?

Yes, but...

- I may have been wrong. - You were

I got 300,000 for it!

You sold it for 300,000 francs?

Certainly did.Wasn't bad,was it?

Well,you don't look very pleased.

Oh but I'm pleased

If you could get 300,000 francs for my pendant,

I'm sure it's much better than I could do

Then you probably wouldn't refuse to have dinner with me tonight

No, I probably wouldn't

And, possibly, cocktails earlier, say 4 o'clock?

Well, very well

I'd ask you to lunch, but, unfortunately, I committed myself..

before I knew your existence.

-Cruel isn't it? - Yes.

- You have had breakfast? - Yes, I have.

Very well, I'll see you for cocktails

- Au revoir - Au revoir.

Tanya you surpassed yourself!

What an amazing performance

Wasn't she marvelous

But I don’t understand...

He must have found out that the jewel was a fake...

Naturally, but also discovered how lovely Tanya's eyes are

And, rather than sadden them

he gladly sacrificed to you 300 000 francs.

Oh, what a romanticist...

Could I see the check,please?

Do you suppose it's good? Maybe he'll stop payment.

Idiot.

Vernay is in love with Tanya.

Love, love, with a big capital L!

300,000 francs - that's 100,000 to piece!

It's 150 000 for each of you.

What does she mean by that?

I'll make you a present of it

Oh no, Tanya...

Polo!

Dear André

I knew you would see it my way

Consider it a farewell gift.

Oh, but Tanya...

But, Tanya, you are not really going to leave us?

Yes, I've made up my mind

It's partly your doing,Polo.

You always told me that I wasn't meant for this

Don't blame me,don't anybody blame me

Nobody is going to blame you.

Do you expect to marry him?

Of course not, how could I?

You couldn't

I was just wondering whether you were laboring under that delusion

And now, gentlemen, I am sorry

I have rendezvous,and I must get ready

All right

So long,Tanya.

I'll give you one month

at the most six weeks for your little escapade

Go ahead, have your fling

You'll come back to us.

And when you need us -

right telephone wire will be

at the hotel "Hungaria" in Budapest.

Good Bye.

And here she is!

But it's such a little boat

-Will it be safe? -Safe?

Countess, I have the honor to inform you that you will sailing...

with the winner of the Swedish Crown Cup!

-Then I'll be in good hands - The best

It is getting pretty rough. Shouldn't we turn back?

- Yes, but how? -What do you mean how?

Well, it's going to take a bit of manoeuvrings.

It will be a pleasure.

It will be a pleasure to watch the winner of the Swedish Crown Cup.

What? That was for tennis

You mean you never sailed before?

This is my maiden voyage

I hope it isn't your last.

Why didn't you tell me you couldn't sail?

How did I know I couldn't until I tried!

-Well, I hope you can swim -I'll let you know in a minute

-It's too late to go back to Nice tonight -It is rather late

We'd better plan on staying here

Rooms, they are ready for you, monsieur.

-Please, mademoiselle - Thank you.

- The second and third doors. - Thank you.

- Good night. - Good night.

- Good night. - Good night.

- Good night. - Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

Voici Monsieur

You look ten years old. Why the costume at this hour?

Ballet is hard work,and I must practice

In a few short weeks, I shall try and make up all the time I didn't practice

But after all, this is only a charity affair

-it is not as you were doing it for pay -Nevertheless..

Charity affair or not -it's Thursday night

So little time...

So little time!

Right.We mustn't waste time.

- Time and energy. -Oh,energy, too

I must be good...

There will be so many important people there

Hundreds...

Like it?

You're not eating your breakfast!

-I think I changed my mind about breakfast -After I so kindly brought it to you

Oh, do not do that! You should eat your breakfast!

-Look at the toast, and coffee, and egg -I don't want any of this

- and orange juice... - Come here!

- No, I'm off to practice... -Come here, please

You can practice later.

Another rehearsal gone

"Paris Soir"

Buy "Paris Soir".

No luck, eh?

You have tramped all over Paris...

from Port de la Villette to Montrouge...

and found no trace of her

Yes, that's right.

Andre, I've covered all the ballet schools.

-But how did you know? -Your feet

Those,ugly, tired peasant feet.

They tell you the story

You see, I studied hands and feet.

I can read them as you could read a book.

If you could read.

-But I can read - Of course, you can

You read words, but you can't read between them

Now for instance,for you those are just a women's feet

But I'll tell you that she's a vendeuse in one of the department stores.

Stood on her feet all day

But she isn't tired now, she's going to meet her sweetheart in some corner

Amazing...

-A woman with the bunions -Yes

She has given up hope of meeting anybody

Remarkable

Tan Bourghan, American tourist.

Big corn on the left little toe.

You see?

That was fine.Was that tempo right, Miss Vronsky?

- Yes fine. -Let's continue

I'd like to have a rest for a few minutes.

All right, rest.

-Hello, Polo, hello, Andre -How are you?

What's that?

Out of my sight,out of nail polish

- How are you? - Couldn't be better

No, not as good as when you were with us,Tanya.

That's why we are looking for you, all...

-How was I, Andre,third rate? - No,second

- Ha,then it's an improvement. - Oh, you can take it like that

I am happy for the first time in years, doing what I want to do

Working hard, rehearsals, studies, more rehearsing

-I'll send you tickets for my performance -Oh, that's very kind of you,thanks.

But, you see, Tanya, now that we've found you

We are not going to neglect you, as you neglected us.

You need us for moral support,

and perhaps we might need you.

By the way, where are you living?

-Do you know Hotel Renault? -Renault, Renault

Oh, on the Rue Cambon, near the Ritz

- That's it. - Oh yes

This will perhaps amuse you...

I am living there under the assumed name of Lady Kennington.

- Why? -It's just a whim

My dear Lady Kennington...

You're not married, by any chance?

Not I.I don't like marry me that well.

I was afraid that you might seriously taken up with that Vernay fellow

-Vernay? -I am sure you haven't forget him

Oh,ducky, what chance have men when women forget so quickly?

There was a man named Vernay. It was in Nice in the month of May.

He was tall, dark and handsome.

Oh yes of course.

He was handsome, wasn't he?

But now you have to run along

We'll shall call on you tonight at the Renault

Yes,do that around eight?

- With pleasure. - We have so many things to talk about

I'll tell you about the white mouse that I trained when we were in prison.

- Prison? - Yes, in Budapest.

Pretty light only three months.

But we'll shall tell you all about our experiences tonight at the Renault

-Lady Kennington - Au revoir. At eight.

Come on,duckie

Really, Andre, I still can't see why you insist on seeing her now.

Don't worry, duckie just one of my sudden impulses

But it's only 4:30, and we are supposed to see her at eight

I'm afraid she might forget that appointment

Monsieur?

What is the number of Lady Kennington's suit,please?

-Are you Colonel Demorond? - Yes.

Room 228.Lady Kennington is expecting you.

- Thank you. - Bien,Monsieur

But don't you trust her any longer?

Tanya I shall trust always

But I'm not so sure about Lady Kennington.

Come in.

I hope you don't mind our breaking in like this ahead of time

No, Andre, I expected it

Your faith in me is quite touching.

- Tanya, I hope you don't think that I... -No, Polo, I don't

-Here, Tanya - Thanks

Please make yourself comfortable.

I even have some tea waiting for you

Isn't she sweet,Andre?

And now, gentlemen, I hope you won't be offended if I get right to the point.

You should know me by now,Tanya

I have just 60 000 francs left.

And, for old time's sake I'd be glad to share equally.

-20,000 for you Andre. -I hate to accept money from a woman

I mean - without having earned it But... I shall accept it as a loan

You may return it to me at any time if that might ease your conscience.

- And 20 000 for you Polo. - No,well Tanya

But I want you to have it. You deserve it.

You've been slighted so many times.

Well, if you insist, thank you very much.

And now - what are your plans?

Are you going to stay in Paris long?

You know, Tanya, we wanted to go to South America.

been cheating without a steam ship

I didn't say anything

Do you like this hotel?

Why,yes?

Phone clerk,please

Phone clerk?

This is Colonel Demorond speaking from Lady Kennington's suit

Have you by any chance another suit on the same floor?

All right,yes

That's fine

Oh,indefinitely

From tonight on

You're very good,thanks.

Very fortunate

Duckie and I are going to have the adjoining suit

I thought you were going to leave.

Oh, I'll have to postpone that trip you see,something very important came up

since I saw you this afternoon...

Sorry, Andre, but I'm afraid I lost my taste for collaboration.

But you realize the value of this stone?

I realize the value, but I'm still not interested.

Not interested in the fortune that would make you independent for ever?

I'm quite independent now.

That's why I don't care to work with you anymore.

You maybe independent...

But I am not,neither is Polo.

This chance means a great deal to us.

I'm sure you'll understand.

And what if I don't?

Then you must have some good reason for refusing

I'll be very curious to find out just what that reason is.

There's nothing to find out, Andre.

Then it is no.

For third part of the profit

But for a half,well,we might discuss it

- I'm glad this evening is over. - Well, I rather enjoyed it

I thought it was stupid.

Darling, you seemed upset all evening.

Is something wrong?

No,just that I had a horrible day

Everything went bad at the rehearsal

I'm sorry, darling

BTW, where were you this afternoon?

Why?

Well,you had an appointment for tea with Aunt Cecile

and apparently you didn't heed it

Oh, I'm terribly ashamed...

I forgot all about it.

Aunt Cecile didn't. She was exploding when she called me at the office.

Paul...

Yes?

Nothing.

Last time I saw a wife do that in a play I nearly shot the author

Paul...

Sleep well darling

In the morning we'll forgotten all about your bad day.

Monsieur...

Have you a reservation for Herr Van Kongen?

Van Kongen? I don't think so, monsieur.

But we can give you a nice room on the third floor.

I would like to leave this portfolio in your safe. It is very valuable.

Certainly, monsieur. Will you come this way, please.

I say, Tanya...

Oh,my darling!

You look much too lovely

There isn't a man there who would be able to keep his mind on the speeches

Paul, will you forgive me if I don't go with you tonight?

What's the matter?

I'm just not up to another diplomatic dinner.

Besides, there’s concert I'd want to hear

Cortot playing Mozart.

Of course, if you'd rather go to the concert

Oh, darling, you're not hurt,are you?

Well no. I just I've always thought you rather enjoyed going with me

I do,but you understand just this one, don't you?

Well,I suppose so.

Darling, I love you very much.

I don't want anything to spoil our happiness.

I know you don't

-Now run along and have a good time - Thank you darling.

I'll be back before you.

-S'il vous plait, monsieur -Merci, monsieur

Come in.

He had just entering into her room. I hope nothing goes wrong

If Tanya heart is in her work,why should it?

Do you know, I've found,without exception, that beautiful women,enjoy beautiful gems

Really?

And the more beautiful the woman, the more beautiful the gem must be to thrill her.

You shouldn't have said that.

She of vanity will keep me for admiring any of them.

I have discovered that few women can keep their heads

in the face of a temptation like this.

You have seen the finest collection in all Europe,Lady Kennington

I can assure you of that

I must be a very beautiful woman, monsieur,

because none of the gems thrill me

We shall see whether you can be thrilled.

Here is one of the most beautiful diamonds in the world.

The Imperator.

Twenty carats, and absolutely flawless.

Notice the color the fire

Wait until I'll show you by comparison with ordinary stones.

It's like a full moon among the stars!

A gorgeous gem!

It's exquisite!

Andre, Andre, here comes the waiter!

-Did you ring, Madame -Yes, take the tray, please.

Just a minute!

I swear, I have nothing to do with it!

I did not know that he was there!

A clever trick, Lady Kennington.

You're both under arrest

Polo!

Close the door quick!

Tanya is caught.

-We'll have to help her! -Stop, you fool

There's nothing we can do

Come in

I never visit strange clients without being well guarded

Arrest these two.

Good bye, Tanya...

Don't stand there like a sentimental schoolboy.

Go and start packing!

Tanya,will never involve us,Andre,I'm sure

Don't be too sure, women are funny creatures.

Yes, women are funny creatures.

Gentlemen... a magnificent performance.

I'll thank you.

Thank you, madam.

Did you take care of the waiter?

Indeed I did

A good detective never forgets anything.

Thank you.

-Good night,Madame - Good night.

Call on us again if you ever need this

I hope I'll never shall.

I think I'll take a look in Tanya's room.

Andre, Andre, come here,come here!

Look, it's the "Imperator"!

The Imperator...

This is just as faked as the diamond merchant Van Kongen

and the whole scene Tanya put up for us tonight!

Then you mean that Tanya's arrest was only a fake?

Yes.

Tanya is not only a clever dancer, but also a first-class actress.

Why do you suppose she was so anxious to get rid of us?

I don't know yet.

But I have a queer feeling Cupid has something to do with it

Who is she?

Never mind,duckie,you'll find out

Enjoying yourself, Aunt Cecile?

Not particularly. I detest the country.

This is a bit rusty

Oh dear,double sixes at a time like this!

Well, but Tanya is having a grand time.

-Where? - In the pool.

Everywhere she swims, there is a school of young men following her

She shouldn't be in the water.

Dancers shouldn't swim.

It is too relaxing,softens the legs

Maybe I'd better go and get her out.

You'll stay right where you are, Emil.

Yes mother.

Oh, Paul, who are those two strange people?

I don't believe I know them...

Pardon me, Aunt Cecile.

How do you do

-Monsieur Vernay? - Yes.

I am Count Nikolay Vronsky, your wife's cousin

Tanya's cousin!Happy to meet you!

Delighted

And this is my very good friend, commander Petrov.

How do you do Commander.

We just arrived in Paris and...

When I learned that little Tanya was married

I simply had to see you.

Of course,you'll be delighted

Strange,that Tanya never mentioned you to me,Count

Perhaps she thought I was dead.

You know, we, Vronsky, die young.

And here she is!

Tanya!

- Surprise... - Tanya!

Tanya! My dear cousin!

Oh, my dear cousin, it's so wonderful to see you again!

Oh, Tanya,you're beautiful

This is my very good friend, Commander Petrov.

Enchantez

How do you do

Aren't you happy to see me again,Tanya?

Very

You know, we went to the address of your last letter,but you were not there.

So I worried, and the commander worried too...

Oh, Tanya, darling, please...

Don't let ever lose touch with each other again.

You will stay over the fete. Tanya is dancing tomorrow night

Dancing?

She's dances... Oh, Tanya, I'm so glad you kept up your dancing

You know, when she was a real child, she was already a first-rate dancer.

We'll,of course, we'll be only too happy to stay

Nothing in the world is so important as to take us away.

Right,commander?

Nothing in the world so important as to persuade us not to stay

Splendid!

I'll show you to your rooms.

This is your room.

There is a bath adjoining

Well that's just lovely!

And now - what are you doing here?

-Well, we came to see you,Tanya. - What do you want?

Well, we wanted to congratulate you on your marriage and...

scold you for not having asked us to act as best men at the wedding.

Now listen, Andre...

Come in!

-Andre, here's our baggage - Good.

That reminds me I must have my dinner clothes pressed

Oh, Tanya, but this is really beautiful

You like it?

This joke gone far enough!

Will you get out of here?

Get out? We just came

I'll give you 20,000 francs if you leave at once!

Don't be ridiculous

What do you mean?

I mean, it's not even a tenth part of what I want.

Don't you be ridiculous

20 000 francs is all I have!

But surely you are not pleading poverty are you?

Tanya, darling, I want you to know - that I really don't like to do this

But you're doing it!

- And what can I do? - Listen, Tanya...

We are the ones who should be angry after that trick you played on us.

In that case,I'd better speak to my husband.

You'd better?

Do you want me to?

Do you want too?

But, Andre, why don't we take 20,000,

if that is all that she has, and go.Please, let's go.

I didn't come down here to collect pocket money.

that maybe your idea about profits but it's not mine

It just breaks my heart.

But, Tanya, it doesn't have to be right now.

You take your time about it,.

I'm sure you'll find some solution to your problem

Oh, my darling, I've missed you. Where have you been?

Madame Dubois had one of her dizzy spells I gave her some ammonia

-You seem nervous? - No,just excitement and everything

You needn't the party is a great success. Everybody is thrilled

-Are you a white Russian? -No, I cannot say that I'm white...

-And then you must be red? -No, no, I cannot say I'm red

But then, what are you?

Pink!

Yes, I'm pink.Yes,pale,pale pink

In other words - a conservative.

Colorful character isn't he?

Well, he has been wounded twice...

in the head I take it

I really don't know

Are there any more in the family like him?

He's amusing, isn't he?

Say unusual is more the world

Tanya was only an infant,

and I, of course, was only a small child

but very strong for my age.

So I took her in my arms

and fled with her into the dark, dark night.

And they fired at me - boom, boom, boom!

And you were wounded?

Yes...

Once here, and once here.

And once exactly here.

- Please excuse me a moment - Certainly

And you weren't killed?

For a long time no one was sure

- Nikolay, Nikolay... - Yes?

Do you remember the trick we used to do?

Trick? What trick?

It's really a marvelous trick. Would you like to see it?

Yes, go ahead.

I hate tricks!

Oh, Auntie, you'll like this one it's wonderful!

Will someone, please get me two chairs!

-Come on. -What trick

What a trick, tell me?

-Don't tell me you watch tricks all day - Well yes...

-What trick? -Don't you remember?

-Where do you like them? -Right here

Right here, yes. Thank you so much

Nikolay, you sit here, and Emil sit here please

That's right, sit down.

Fine

Nikolay and I learned this trick when we were children in in St.Petersburg.

I hope we still can do it Watch me closely

Now look in your pockets. Did you lose anything?

I lost my wallet!

Now look in your pockets. Did you find anything?

I can't find a thing..

Don't tell me that you've forgotten where to look,Nikolay

Here it is!

Tanya, I'm grieved

I'm such a pathological case...

I'm going to bed, it's way past midnight.

-Good Night Emil. - Yes mother

Oh, that's not a bad idea...

If you are really serious about going fishing at dawn,we'd better all turn in

-Oh, I'm so tired - So am I

- Darling, the party was a great success. - I'm glad you think so.

Oh, just a moment everyone.

I do not want to alarm any of you,

but there's been some burglaries in the neighborhood recently

-Burglaries?I might have known it

-Did you hear that Emil? -Yes, mother,I did hear it

I trust it'll be a great easier for myself

if you let me put your jewelry in the safe.

- Oh,how exciting! - Good idea, Tanya

I'm very happy that you warned us.

-Tanya, should we give our things now? -No, don't bother.

I'll come up in your rooms in a few minutes and collect them

After this I should stay in town

Come on, Emil!

Oh, I hope my ring is stolen, it's the last year's

- Boon Soir, Tanya. - Boon Soir

Well, my darling, shall we turn in?

Yes, let us

Good night.

- See you in the morning. - Yes.

Nicholay...

Yes?

Good night.

Good night.

- Good night. - Good night.

Monsieur Vernay...

I wonder if I may talk to you and Madame,for a moment?

Certainly

Perhaps we'd better sit down.

The subject is a rather delicate one

It's about Nicholay

I felt that, as his best friend, I could speak to you.

Frankly, I'm quite worried about him.

You see, like so many of our exiled countrymen,

he seems to be suffering from severe melancholy.

I can't say that I noticed it tonight

Oh,quite naturally Nikolay try to hide it.

He wouldn't like to worry his cousin.

But, frankly

He is in a bad way

Oh, come

Oh, auntie, my cousin asked me to collect the jewelry for you

Oh yes

Here are my bracelets,

my necklace...

and my ring.

Oh my God, I almost forgot about the brooch!

Oh, I wouldn't have bought that if I were you Auntie

-You mean it's worthless? - Practically.

Ah,so well was the man who gave it to me

Go on, Nikolay,I feel so safe, with you in the house

- Good night. - Good night.

Perhaps,a long rest in some institution might help

Oh, I do not think that would be necessary.

Let's hope not

Travel is the only thing which seem to help Nikolay

seems strange places and meeting new people cheers him up

I suppose you too,Madame, have traveled a great deal

Oh, extensively

Funny, of all the places in the world

I prefer the French Riviera, particularly Nice.

Do you know Nice?

Quite well.Do you know Budapest?

I lived there for two or three months.

A most hospitable place.

I'm sure you would have liked it

Well, a very charming evening.

I enjoyed myself

I wish you a good night.

Goodnight.

Good night.

Who is that man?

Why Commander Petrov ?

-My cousin told you. -He's not your cousin.Who are those men?

Darling, I'll tell you everything!

But first I must take take care of my guests jewelry

It's probably a very good idea!

Auntie...

Yes?

Oh, I'm so glad you are here.

I forgot to give my earrings to your cousin

My cousin?

Yes, Nicholay. He's collected my other things.

Collected other things?

- Yes. - Good night.

-Oh, Paul.. - What's the matter?

We must stop them!

-They stole everything! - What do you mean?

Those men, they're leaving!

I can't explain now, but we got to catch them!

We got to!

Andre, we are being followed!

After the next turn, I stop, you get out with the bag and hide in the woods

- Me? - Yes, you.

When they catch up with me, they will find nothing

-You'll be safe. - Safe

Naturally. You and jewels.

Then you'll hurry to the harbor, meet me tomorrow night at the boat

I'll have the tickets.

We are out of petrol

It's all over.

Not entirely

It's still the matter of paying our guests for their jewelry.

And explaining

You asked me who those men were.

I couldn't tell you then I can now.

They are thieves,jewel thieves and I was one of them when I first met you.

I've tried my best to keep it from you

But I've been weak and cowardly

I should have told you all along

But I was afraid that I'd lose you.

And now that's doesn't make any difference,

because I lost you anyway.

You haven't lost me, Tanya.

You've given me a number of very bad moments

during the last few hours, but...

you haven't lost me.

I love you.

I can't give you up,I can't ever give you up

no matter what you are and what you've done

If only you told me at the start

I would have been on your side all along.

and all this would never have happened.

It doesn't matter,I'm on your side now

Somehow we'll get out of it

I think there is a garage down the road a little away.

-You won't be afraid here,will you? -I'll never be afraid again

Paul...

Everybody will be having breakfast, we can tell them all at once

Tell them what?

Tell them,dear people, the friends of my wife have stolen your jewelry?

It will be a good breakfast

-Well,it's better I go to the police - Look!

There they are all of them!

Someone must be telling them now

And to whom do these beautiful pearls belong?

Oh, they belong to me!

-Madame. - Thank you.

That's everything

Yes, but, Nikolai, what about my earrings?

But auntie, you didn't give them to me.

I know it, that's why I'm worried.

Oh, there they are!

I imagined that,going out alone after we went to bed

- Good morning, Tanya.- Good morning. - Good morning.

You know,I can't say I approve of this sort of thing

- Where have you been? - Out for a drive.

A drive?

By the way, Tanya...

Where are my earrings?

Upstairs in my room.

Oh, I must say -that's a relief.

Certainly

I don’t say why you didn't leave them with Nikolay here,where they'd be safe

And here, my dear cousin, is your cigarette case.

- But I did. -Expect me to return it so soon?

I twas only keeping it over night, with the other things.

I'm so sorry the commander had to leave,

but I, of course, simply had to stay to...

see my little Tanya dance tonight

Yes, he must stay, mustn’t he, darling?

Oh, by all means, by all means

Somehow we all feel much safer with you within our midst

Entrez!

Bonjour, monsieur, bonjour!

Here are your tickets...

and your change

Will you take the early boat train or the late one?

The....the early one

And... keep the change

Oh, merci, monsieur, merci.

Bon voyage,bon voyage,monsieur.

- Good luck,Tanya. - Thank you.

-Madame - Tanya...

-I think it's time. - Yes.

You can't smoke back stage..

Oh, she's wonderful! It has never been anyone like her

Hey, Polo!

- Wonderful performance! -Magnificent, Tanya!

- Thank you. - Just marvelous

-You are not disappointed in me? - Disappointed?

No, my darling, I could never be disappointed in you!

And what happened to Polo?

I do not know, he was here right up to the finish of your number...

And then he suddenly seemed to have vanished

Darling, I only be a few moments.

And then you and I have a very important engagement

Have we?

You are going to take me to the nearest bench in the nearest park

and we are going to sit there and watch the sun come up

Just like we did the first night,we met.

-I'm here, I'm here! -It's long past time

I was afraid that you might have changed your mind.

But, Andre, must you always hurt me?

Don't you know me better

After our long years of working together in association -Yes

In sickness in health, for rich and for poor..

Yes I suppose so

Andre, we did have good times together,didn't we?

Especially in my beloved France...

What did you have for breakfast this morning?

Oh, my France!

Au revoir

You, clod!

What have I done! What have I done!

Don't you know that I'm going to beat you through

-I'm sorry, Andre. -That's a great help to me

And now what am I going to live on?

Everything I owned was in that bag

Now I have nothing, absolutely nothing!

It's true,almost nothing

What do you mean - almost nothing?

Absolutely nothing!

Well, only this...

And... and...

And this...

And... and...

This

I'll take care of all this, duckie

You see, without me you will be lost in this sophisticated world

full of shrewd men and clever women.

Yes, I'm just a baby in the wood..

Yes, I know, nice little baby.

See you later
