(Woman) 'Once upon a time, on the north shore of Long IsIand,

'not far from New York,

'there was a very, very Iarge mansion, aImost a castIe,

'where there lived a family by the name of Larrabee.

'There were servants inside the mansion

'and servants outside the mansion.

'Boatmen to tend the boats and six crews of gardeners -

'two for the soIarium, the rest for the grounds

'and a tree surgeon on retainer.

'There were speciaIists for the indoor tennis courts

'and the outdoor tennis courts,

'the outdoor swimming pooI and the indoor swimming pooI.

'And over the garage there Iived a chauffeur by the name of Fairchld,

'imported from EngIand years ago,

'together with a Rolls Royce... and a daughter named Sabrina.'

# In the moonIight

# When the shadows pIay

# When the thought of what couId happen

# Takes your breath away

# Sighs and whispers

# Quiet Iaughter in the air

# Can we assume that Iove is everywhere... #

Among other things, the Larrabees were noted for the parties they gave.

Few peopIe any more give parties the way they did.'

# ..make it relativeIy easy... #

It never rained on the night of a Larrabee party.

The Larrabees wouldn't have stood for it.'

# In the haIf-Iight... #

There was Maude Larrabee, who inherited the Larrabee Corporation

'when her husband died on the 13th hoIe at PebbIe Beach.'

Sweetheart, go taIk to CardinaI Morgan, he Iooks bored.

Senator, have I got somebody I want you to meet...

'Maude was on the cover of Fortune.

'There was Linus, the oIder son, who graduated from YaIe at 19

'and took his mother and the company for a ride on the fibre-optic highway

'and turned a $100 miIIion famiIy business into some serious money.'

I don't feeI Iike buying any more networks.

There's never anything good on.

I said the offer expired at ten o'cIock. It's 10:08.

'Linus was on the cover of Time.

'But most of aII...there was David,

'the younger son,

'who was in and out of many schooIs and even more reIationships.

'He was handsome and charming and funny and romantic.'

It's so rare to meet such a beautifuI woman

with your sense of humour and irony...

and poetry...and hair coIour.

'David did a Gap ad.'

Sabrina.

Sabrina, come down.

(Sighs) She made him Iaugh.

- You have to finish packing. - Am I witty?

I wonder if Paris is far away enough.

No, reaIIy, do you think I'm funny?

HiIarious, you shouId host a taIk show.

The fuII-time observation of David Larrabee

is not a recognised profession. Get out of that tree.

I'II be there in a minute.

Oh! It's just you, Sabrina.

HeIIo, David.

I thought I heard somebody.

No, it's nobody.

# How can I remember things that never happened?

# Arms that never heId me

# Lips I've never kissed

# How can I remember?

# Why do I keep seeing someone's face before me?

# Eyes that say they know me

# Shining through the mist

# Eyes that I remember

# I don't know why

# Or when or where

# I feeI suspended... #

Sabrina?

You've spent more of your Iife up that tree than you have on ground.

You know how Iucky we are

that Mrs Larrabee has friends who have a job for you,

so you can have this European experience?

The time in Paris wiII be so good for you.

If your mother were aIive, she'd be so happy.

- It's what she aIways wanted. - What if he forgets aII about me?

How can he forget someone he doesn't know exists?

I didn't mean that, Sabrina.

I just meant...

There's much more to you than this obsession. I hope you know that.

Thanks, Dad.

Good night.

# How can I remember things that never happened?

# Arms that never heId me

# Lips I've never kissed... #

(Chatter and commotion)

(Woman) I need more heIp out front.

Where are you going? It's earIy.

I've got to check on the Tokyo market before it cIoses. Good night.

Linus, Andrea CoIson toId me you just fired her son.

- He's an idiot. - But she was my bridesmaid.

- She's one of my best friends. - This is business, Mother.

I've got to drop something off in David's room.

When he surfaces, teII him I put his suspenders back.

You're not Ieaving now! You'II miss my fireworks.

It's OK, Mother. I had a pony ride and I got my face painted.

Good night.

David, David.

Come in.

- I came to say goodbye. - What?

Don't come out.

If I Iook at you, I may not get through this.

- OK. - PIease, don't say anything.

I'm Ieaving tomorrow for Paris...

and I'II be away a Iong time.

I don't expect you to think about me,

you haven't thought about me whiIe I was here.

I just want to say...

I think I know you better than anybody eIse.

I mean, whatever they think or say, I know the truth,

that you're a wonderfuI person.

Kind and generous and...

And for what it's worth, know that someone far away is thinking of you.

If there's anything I can ever do...

CouId you bring me one of those EiffeI Tower paperweights?

My God!

- �a va? - �a va.

(Chattering, indistinct)

WeIcome to Vogue, Sabrina. You speak no French, yes?

- No. - No?

I mean, yes, I don't. Sorry, pIease couId you repeat the question?

AIors, Ia, c'est Ie shopping. Vous avez Ies shoes very, very important.

Tout �a, c'est hanging, toujours foIding.

Ca, c'est Ie jeweIIery, pressing

but the most important is Ie Boutin, ManoIo and OmbIine.

You know, I speak very good EngIish.

MaquiIIage, maquiIIage!

You put and cIose the pIace, goes to shoot.

And aII the days, most important, Ie Boutin,

ManoIos, OmbIine.

Le Boutin?

Oui, a CeciIe!

- Active-toi! La Iumiere tombe! - J'arrive.

AIIez, Sabrine!

AIIez! Une ceinture, ceinture!

BeIt! BeIIette! Ceinture, Ia!

- Ingrid, hurry up! - I'm putting in my contacts.

Non, eIIe est m�che, ceIIe-Ia! Another one, another one. No.

Non, non, another one. Another one. The nice one.

MademoiseIIe! Tu veux te d�pIacer Ie ventiIateur?

Sabrine, Ia machine, Ia machine.

Je peux pas attendre Iongtemps!

- The fan! - AIIez. AIIez! Oui.

AIIez! Oui, c'est �a! AIIez-y!

- (Crunch) - Oh!

Sabrina, don't worry for Martine.

I tortured her, now she tortures you.

Succeed and you'II get someone of your own to torture.

(Sabrina's father) 'You've onIy been there two weeks.

'I doubt everybody in Paris thinks you're an idiot.'

OnIy because I haven't met them aII.

'Sabrina, you're being much too hard on yourseIf. Give it a chance.

'What matters is you're away from here experiencing new things,

'getting another view of the worId, finding new friends

'and not constantIy thinking about you-know-who.'

- Morning. - Morning, Tom.

She's fine. She hasn't adjusted compIeteIy...

- She's miserabIe. - I toId you not to send her.

Mr Tom, maybe it is not for me to put my hands in this

but when I first come to this country, I am aIone, Iike Sabrina.

I just weigh more. So, I ask to God, ''Why I am here?''

I say, ''Why, God?'' but there is no answer.

So, I stop crying.

It takes 1 1 years.

- Thank you, Rosa. - Did she mention David?

Just that Iife without him was an abyss of misery and despair.

Those were her words.

# This girI I know needs some sheIter

- # She don't beIieve anyone... # - VoiIa!

Oui, c'est bien, �a! Envoyez pIus de fIotte!

VoiIa. C'est bien, �a. Regardez moi! C'est bien, �a!

# ..you teII her she can manage

# And you can't change the way she feeIs

# But you couId put your arms around her... #

Tres bien. Oui.

AIIez. Avec tes jambes. With your Ieg. Yes, the same. Yes! CooI.

- # CouId you forgive yourseIf... # - C'est bien. Oui.

Have a drink with me.

- FairchiId. - Good morning, sir.

Hey, Linus. Got a minute?

Are you aware you're an officer of the Larrabee Corporation?

- Linus, I met someone. - You recaII our address?

- I'm not kidding. - Your office is on the 48th fIoor.

- This is reaIIy somebody. - So what's the probIem?

I've invited her for dinner Friday and I don't want you and Mother...

This girI is smart, she's reaIIy smart.

That certainIy hasn't come up before.

- She's a reaI woman, she's not a... - Transvestite?

She's not a bimbo. She's a doctor. A paediatrician.

How did you meet her?

I was at this party and the host's kid got sick with something

and I rushed him to Emergency

and she was the resident on duty and we just hit it right off.

How did the sick kid make out?

Listen, when you guys meet her, just try to make me Iook good.

I know I Iook good but try to make me sound good.

Mention my accompIishments.

My quaIities.

You can be creative.

Lie, OK? She says her foIks know you.

- What's her name? - EIizabeth Tyson.

- Tyson EIectronics Tyson? - Tyson I don't know.

Here's a toughie. Which one works for a Iiving?

- Wow, great hat, Mother. - Good morning, BIue Eyes.

Bring her around, we'II try and make you Iook good.

- You guys work Sundays now, huh? - It's Wednesday, David.

Guess what. David's taking out Patrick Tyson's daughter.

(Phone diaIIing)

- WeII, weII, weII... - 'Yes, sir?'

Mack, give me Harvey.

Harvey? I want you to start buying up chunks of Tyson stock.

Not so much that anybody wouId notice. That's it.

I hope she doesn't Iook Iike Patrick.

For once your father didn't Iie.

- You are IoveIy! - Thank you.

- I'm Maude. - PIeasure.

- Linus. - My father's taIked about you.

- Are you reaIIy a doctor? - No, he made that up.

I did...! She was just promoted to Assistant Head of Paediatrics.

I toId her the hospitaI can count on us for a coupIe of miIIion doIIars.

David!

Is he a worId-cIass phiIanthropist or what?

Hup.

Just squeeze.

(Man singing in French, indistinct)

(Sabrina) I Iike Louis. He's funny, sweet and such a good photographer.

But someone is in the way.

Is it this David you mentioned

casuaIIy 40 or 50 times when you first came?

He sounds perhaps Iike an iIIusion.

- It keeps me company. - You think so?

IIIusions are dangerous peopIe. They have no fIaws.

I came here from Provence... aIone, uneducated.

For eight months - no, more than that - a year,

I sat in a cafe, I drank coffee and I wrote nonsense in a journaI.

And then, somehow...

it was not nonsense.

I went for Iong waIks and I met myseIf in Paris.

You seem...embarrassed by IoneIiness, by being aIone.

It's onIy a pIace to start.

# Un p'tit air

# Qui fIotte dans I'univers... #

(PA) 'Doctor Forest, diaI 1 18, pIease.

'Doctor Forest, pIease diaI 118.'

- I'm sorry about your party. - It's OK.

- Are you hungry? I'm starving. - TeII you what I'II do.

I'II draw you a bath and whip us up a superb omeIette.

Do you have eggs, cheese, green pepper, tomato...

Oh, no green pepper, no tomato.

WeII, then I'II just whip us up a somewhat superb omeIette.

David, you are the best.

You mean making a hot bath and an omeIette

are on par with saving a 5-year-oId kid's Iife?

It'II save my Iife.

God, you're easy on me.

OK, then why don't you marry me?

- OK, why don't I? - Don't kid about stuff Iike that.

- OK, why don't I? - You're sure you know what it is?

You hang together a Iot, sIeep in the same room,

do each other's hard-to-reach buttons...

- Then I accept. - ReaIIy?

Why?

(Woman) I'm sorry, he's at...

- Mr Larrabee? - David, what a nice surprise.

He's at Iunch. He doesn't Iike...

- Ron, Ron. I need to taIk to you. - I'm in a meeting.

- When was the Iast time I came here? - You're right.

Ron, Ron.

I wondered why I was suddenIy being treated with respect.

Is something bothering you, David?

You've been pushing me into this reIationship

so you couId merge with Tyson.

Pushing you? I couId burn in heII for the Iies I toId about you.

You begged me to make you Iook good.

You never mentioned making an offer...

''TaIk about my accompIishments, my quaIities. Be creative.

''Lie,'' you said.

I can't do this, Linus. I'm not ready to make this kind of commitment.

Oh, she must have asked for an actuaI wedding date.

I don't know what happened. She was heaIing chiIdren, I was in a tuxedo.

I'm not abIe to take care of a wife.

EIizabeth is a doctor and a miIIionaire. She won't be a burden.

You don't deserve her but she appears to Iove you.

Doesn't that worry you a IittIe bit? I mean, about her mentaI heaIth?

David...

- So this is aII just a coincidence? - It's an opportunity.

- Opportunity. - What do you expect me to do?

DisquaIify myseIf from a biIIion-doIIar merger

because of famiIy connections?

What are you doing? It was just a question!

Look at this thing. Not a scratch.

Is this a new way of changing the subject?

No one has a fIat-paneI screen this size except Tyson

and the thing's indestructibIe.

He has the hottest technoIogy in town and everyone on WaII Street knows it.

We've got so much competition on this merger...

- You're taIking about my Iife! - I pay for your Iife.

My Iife makes your Iife possibIe.

- I resent that. - So do I.

You went to Iaw schooI, you never took the bar.

You went to business schooI but don't come near the office.

Studied Ianguages you don't speak, instruments you don't pIay.

Have girIfriends you never see more than twice.

- Do you not see a pattern? - Who are you to Iecture me?

Your idea of a Iong-term reIationship is Ietting your date order dessert.

I don't have time for dessert. I'm too busy with this company.

You're a grown man, David. Finish something.

EIizabeth is the best thing that ever happened to you

and you toId me so yourseIf.

(GIass being tapped)

I wouId Iike to propose a toast to my baby girI.

Dr EIizabeth Tyson, taIented MD,

and to my future son-in-Iaw, David Larrabee, Iucky SOB.

Just kidding, David. Just kidding.

No, we're aII very Iucky.

Not onIy is this the joining of two gorgeous peopIe

- but two gorgeous companies. - Here, here.

I want to wish you aII the Iuck and happiness you deserve and...

(Mimics The Godfather) ''May your first chiId be a mascuIine chiId.''

It's from Serpico. Nacimiento, teII Yoshi to bring the PortobeIIo.

- Ahora? - Oui.

- You're quite a Iinguist. - Yes.

I traveIIed a Iot before I married Patrick. I was a stewardess.

Now they caII them fIight attendants.

ReaIIy? I bet I couId stiII get your seat back in the upright position.

Whenever they try to be funny, it comes out perverse or terrifying.

- I see. - You'II get used to it.

..be sure to teII you that she misses you and sends aII of you her Iove.

But what does she say about the engagement?

You didn't teII her?

I don't know how or what to say.

You say, ''DarIing Sabrina, Ia vida es sue�o.

''Your Iife is a dream and now it is over.'' I know because we Spaniards...

(Tom) 'My dearest Sabrina.

'AIthough I am sure this wiII come as a shock,

'it is my beIief that what I am about to teII you...

'is aII for the best.

'I know how strongIy you have aIways feIt about this

'and so I have been reIuctant to write...'

(InaudibIe)

I am in Paris but you are somewhere eIse.

I'm sorry, Louis. I shouIdn't have done this.

I wouId Iike to heIp...

but what you have to fix, you won't fix it in bed.

You have to fix it here.

'I may even be home before you get it.

'Don't worry about picking me up, I'd Iike to surprise you.

'Amazing. It's gone by so quickIy.

'Gertrude Stein said, ''America is my country and Paris is my home town.''

'I'II aIways feeI that way about Paris.

'I want so much for you to know what it's meant to me.

'Across the street someone is pIaying La Vie En Rose.

- Hey. - Hey! What are you doing?

Drove out with Maude.

I'm here for her birthday party. Might as weII stay over.

- What did you get her? - PortabIe fax machine.

- You sentimentaI fooI. - It's easy for you.

She's so gIad you set a date, you'II never have to buy another present.

That's not what she says.

I got her a IittIe Picasso. I'm having it wrapped in town.

- What did that cost me? - I don't know.

So, who's the new bidder on Tyson? Unisat?

And a coupIe of other companies.

- Cash or stock options? - I Iove it when you taIk dirty.

- (Dog yapping) - Come back here! Excuse me.

- What's that? - A dog.

- Why? - It's EIizabeth's gift to Mother.

She feeIs guiIty about missing the party. She's stuck at some seminar.

I've got to pick up Maude's present. I want you to know something, Linus.

- I'm gIad about EIizabeth. - You shouId be. She's terrific.

She's smart, independent, pretty as heII.

- Why don't you marry her? - Go on!

I'm kidding.

Hi.

How are you?

I'm great.

Er... How are you?

Good.

I'm just surprised to see you here.

WeII, you know me...don't you?

- Er, can I give you a Iift? - Are you on your way home?

- Yes. - WeII, that's convenient!

Sure you wouIdn't mind?

You know, I can't remember the name of your street.

- Desoris Lane. - What? That's where I Iive.

- SmaII worId. - Big Iane.

You don't recognise me, do you?

Yeah, of course I do. You're my neighbour on Desoris Lane.

- And you're David. - I sure am.

- One of the Iesser Larrabees. - In what way Iesser?

Pretty much every way. But pIease, no pity.

I couId have sworn I knew every pretty girI on the north shore.

I couId have sworn you took in more territory than that.

Ouch!

That was a whiIe ago. I heard that you're engaged to be married.

Yeah, I am. But we're both very busy, busy peopIe

and it's been very difficuIt to set a date.

- Give me a cIue, just one. - No, this is too much fun.

- PIease. - There's your driveway.

I was just going to say that. WouId you Iike to come in for a drink?

What a good idea.

Wow.

- Looks Iike you're having a party. - Tomorrow night.

They used to have IoveIy parties here.

- Oh, then you've been to them? - No...

but I saw the Iights from a distance.

What's the occasion? It's too Iate for an engagement party.

As a matter of fact, my fianc�e is in CaIifornia this week.

It's a birthday party for my mother but you probabIy know that.

Listen, the party is at nine o'cIock.

WiII you come?

Do you reaIIy want me to?

Very much... if you'II teII me who you are.

HeIIo, Sabrina.

HeIIo, Linus.

Sabrina?

- Have a good time in Paris? - Yes, thank you.

Sabrina?

- You Iook aII grown up. - Sabrina?!

- Why does he keep saying that? - Um, I-I need to go find my father.

I'II get my bags Iater.

- Wait... - Thanks for the ride.

David...no.

- What are you taIking about? - No!

(Rosa) Sabrina!

- I brought you a reaI Paris scarf. - Has he seen you?

- Yes! No, who? - Your father.

Oh, Sabrina!

For going out. For staying in. For Iaughs.

Better than Christmas.

- Who took these? - I did.

I hope this hangs out before tomorrow.

Tomorrow is Mrs Larrabee's birthday party.

Yes, I've been invited.

- By whom? - By David.

Of course, he didn't know it was me when he invited me.

- Now that he knows? - I'm stiII invited, I guess.

Maybe I'II try steaming it.

Dad, pIease.

'I promised myseIf years ago,

'aII those years, hundreds of times, thousands of times,

'and now I'm invited.'

Excuse me.

- HeIIo. - You're here.

Yes, I am. That's true.

You Iook beautifuI.

So do you...Iook good.

FabuIous party, Maude. I'm so sorry EIizabeth can't be here.

So am I. She gave me a dog.

I can't beIieve I'm here.

I went to a party once in a viIIa in Provence.

I didn't know a singIe person, RothschiId was there,

everyone was speaking in French, I couId hardIy understand a word

but I feIt more comfortabIe than I do now.

Drink this as quickIy as possibIe and it won't seem so strange to you.

Better?

- Not yet. - Trust me, it wiII be.

- Which RothschiId? - Bubba.

Was that funny?

- Did EIizabeth pick out her dress? - We're stiII doing the guest Iist.

- 600 so far, just on our side. - It's not a wedding, it's a town.

Stop. It wiII be wonderfuI. EIegant but simpIe. Lavish but tastefuI.

Cheap but expensive.

- Hi. - Hi.

(Man) Sabrina! Where have you been?

- Rosa! - $23 a pound.

They'II be gone in five minutes. Eat fast.

You are a princess.

(# La Vie En Rose)

For you.

(Drowned out by music)

- Who's that? - Who?

That girI. The one with David.

WeII, that's...that's just...

Oh, my God, that's Sabrina!

David's known her since she was two years oId.

Hmm. She didn't have that dress when she was two years oId.

She's drinking champagne and eating seafood

and her hair is washed and her Iips are red and her teeth are white.

- He made a song for her. - I don't Iike it.

WeII, Sabrina.

- When did you get back? - Yesterday.

- Happy birthday, Mrs Larrabee. - I didn't recognise you.

- It's the haircut. - To say the Ieast.

- Some surprise, isn't she, Mother? - She certainIy is, Son.

- Dance with me. - Now?

WhiIe the music's pIaying. It's harder when they stop. Come on.

- David? - Yes?

You know, I've been to every party you've ever had.

Right there, watching from that tree.

Like a bat.

And now, here we are, dancing in front of God and everyone.

I shouId have paid more attention to you.

- What was I thinking of? - YourseIf.

- It feeIs so good to hoId you. - Does it?

Do you know how beautifuI you are?

No.

You're dazzIing.

DazzIing?

SuddenIy back in my Iife and dazzIing.

Am I back in your Iife?

You don't reaIise what you've done to me.

- Then you'd better teII me. - You're changing everything.

She's Iike a sister to him, Patrick.

I have a sister. That's not how we dance.

It's Sabrina! Go Iook and see.

I can't beIieve this is happening. You're absoIuteIy transformed.

And you're exactIy the same.

You were perfect, you stiII are.

- Sabrina? - Yes?

Let's go somepIace we can taIk.

We are taIking.

SomepIace eIse. PIease.

I haven't seen you in years. I'm not sure I ever saw you.

Come with me...for a IittIe whiIe.

- We couId just go... - To the soIarium?

- What? - It has to be the soIarium.

And you bring a bottIe of champagne

and you put the gIasses in the back pockets of your jacket.

I don't think there are any back pockets to my jacket.

You were paying attention.

And the orchestra wiII pIay How Can I Remember?

Yes, I'II have them do that.

And then afterwards, I'II wake up.

Great. Thank you very much, I appreciate it. See you Iater.

- You got a minute? - No, I have an appointment...

Sure you do.

David, what are you doing? Are you insane?

Right in front of your prominent and paranoid future in-Iaws,

you are hustIing the chauffeur's daughter.

- We were dancing. - Stop dancing!

You mean to say I can't have a drink and a dance with an oId friend?

Do I Iook stupid? I never thought of myseIf as stupid but maybe I am.

- I didn't do anything. - You were pIanning to.

- How do you know? - You're kidding?

- David, you're Iike my own son. - I am your own son.

ExactIy. I endured 21 hours of hard Iabour to bring you into the worId.

The doctors begged me to take drugs but I wouIdn't hurt my chiId.

WeII, I've changed my mind!

You screw up with EIizabeth and I swear I'II kiII you.

I don't know. There's something about Sabrina.

I know this sounds crazy but I think I'm faIIing in Iove with her.

- Oh, God! - Listen, I didn't pIan this.

I can't heIp it. She's so...something. SensationaI.

The Iast time you found someone sensationaI, it cost us $1 .5 miIIion.

- This time it's different. - How originaI.

What about EIizabeth? You find the right girI...

Who's got the right parents, who own the right company...

- You asked her to marry you. - ActuaIIy, she asked me.

Mother, go and bIow out your candIes.

Can't we send somebody?

David, what do you think Sabrina wants?

She's Iived her whoIe Iife above that garage

with her nose against the gIass or in that tree watching us at parties.

Now, you invite her to one. You're in your RoIex jacket or whatever.

She'II meet you in the soIarium. She knows you'II bring champagne.

- That has nothing to do with it. - She knows what's coming.

The jet to Martha's Vineyard, the cottage fuII of food,

house seats to some soId-out show, drinks at the CarIyIe.

After that, she'd faII for Noriega!

You don't know how she makes me feeI.

I can't be engaged to somebody when I feeI Iike this.

- Sit down. - I can't taIk now...

Just sit down.

(Screaming)

- What? - I sat on the gIasses.

- Don't move. Get Dr CaIIoway. - Who put gIasses on the chair?

I'm bIeeding. Can we taIk Iater?

My God! Linus, stay with him.

DarIing, don't worry. Just eIevate something.

Bad?

- Sabrina. She's waiting for me. - I'II take care of her.

(GIasses cIinking)

- Linus. - HeIIo, Sabrina.

I have a message from David. He won't be abIe to make it.

He sent me.

I'm sorry. You're upset, of course.

Yes...no. Erm, I don't know.

I'm a IittIe tired.

- Why didn't he come? - He had a sIight accident.

- He sat on a champagne fIute. - Is he OK?

- He's in the Emergency Room. - Emergency Room?

It was a sharp fIute.

That's a IittIe joke.

ShouId I drive over to see him?

He'II be fine.

A coupIe of stitches. You can see him tomorrow.

- What's this for? - Part of the message from David.

They've sent you to deaI with me, haven't they?

- They? - Like a Iawyer in a movie.

He goes to the unsuitabIe waitress or showgirI

or chauffeur's daughter

and says the famiIy is prepared to offer you $100,000

to stay away from their son.

''No,'' she says, ''150,000.''

- ''No!'' - 200,000.

- No. - A miIIion.

No seIf-respecting Iawyer wouId offer Iess.

No seIf-respecting waitress...

- wouId take it. - Good girI.

- I've Ioved him aII my Iife. - Have you?

I thought I was over it.

- Surprise, surprise. - You don't object?

Object? To you? Look at you.

It's as though a IoveIy breeze has swept through this house.

Even though the breeze comes from the garage?

- It's the '90s, Sabrina. - So they say.

# How can I remember things that never happened?

# Arms that never heId me

# Lips I've never kissed... #

They pIayed that the night before I Ieft for Paris.

They often do pIay that.

He was dancing, right here, with someone.

Yeah, he often does do that.

And tonight you wanted it to be you.

It's aII in the famiIy.

# ..I feeI suspended

# In mid-air

# Somewhere between a dream and a memory... #

- I never thought of you as a dancer. - Crazy about it.

They caII me BojangIes at the office.

In aII those years, I never saw you do this -

meet a girI here with champagne.

- I never did it before. - You never had to before.

Is it impossibIe to beIieve

that I want to dance with the prettiest girI at the party?

Thank you. Yes, it is impossibIe to beIieve.

Then you don't know me.

Oh, I aImost forgot.

The rest of the message from David.

Thanks. I needed that.

- What am I doing? I... - No, I apoIogise.

No, I shouId never... You have my handprint on your face.

Maybe it's better if you pick up your messages in person.

You'II see David tomorrow. Good night.

Mack, I'm staying out here for two days.

CanceI whatever I've got and rescheduIe.

Have the pIane stand by from 9am tomorrow morning

and set up the Vineyard cottage.

I don't know. FIowers, candIes, singers...

(Man) WonderfuI party.

CaII David's secretary, it's aII she ever does.

(Woman) Linus.

Why not? WeII, heII, I'm up, you're up.

You weren't? WeII, caII her anyway.

Thank you for coming. Good to see you. Good night.

(Dog yaps)

Jesus. Dog...

Frank, I... What is it, an epidemic of sIeeping sickness? OK, Iisten.

Er, David can't stand pain, so give him a combination of morphine...

I don't... OK, not morphine but something strong

and mixed with a sIeeping tabIet, Iike HaIcion.

They haven't proved that, Frank.

We have no idea. Maude thinks they were Ieft on the chair by some guest.

He is not going to sue his own mother.

WeII, he's not me!

- You're not going to work that way? - CouId you give us a moment?

Sure, Mr Larrabee.

Did Tyson say anything after I Ieft last night?

He wondered where everybody had gone.

- Maybe I shouId taIk to Sabrina. - And say what?

''Sabrina, you're very IoveIy

''but David has a short attention span. He's just jerking your chain.''

Can I say that to a woman, ''jerking your chain''?

- When will EIizabeth back? - Thursday. ShouId she come sooner?

I don't want him breaking off the engagement.

This whoIe thing happened in 24 hours. I can make it unhappen in 48.

I Iike Sabrina, I aIways have,

but I won't kiss off a biIIion doIIars.

I don't care what she did to her hair.

- Good morning. - Morning.

- I'II take you up to see David. - Thank you.

(Snoring)

(Sabrina) David?

David? Can he hear me?

David!

Sabrina!

- Hi. - Hi.

Did the dry cIeaners have your car?

- How do you feeI? - I didn't get there.

Did I?

- Are you in a Iot of pain? - Am I in a Iot of pain?

Look at your IittIe hand.

- Guess what happened to me. - I know, I know. I feeI awfuI.

Me, too.

How do you feeI, Linus?

FaIIing a IittIe behind here, David.

Do you want me to stay with you?

Listen, we got you a terrific nurse and a two-day suppIy of red JeII-O.

He reaIIy shouId rest.

- Isn't Mr Linus going in? - He has other work today.

Very good, Madam.

I'm sure he'II be more responsive next time.

Don't worry. See you.

Thank you.

Er, you know...I was wondering.

We have this summer cottage on the Vineyard we never use any more.

I want to put it on the market. I was going to have a few pictures taken.

The kind that make it Iook bigger than it is.

Uh-huh.

I understand you have an interest in photography.

I thought you couId take them.

The trip wouId be no troubIe.

HeIicopter couId pick us up here, pIane's at RepubIic.

Is that a Iot to ask?

- Saves time fighting traffic. - And aII those toII booths.

- No, thanks. - Something to drink, Miss FairchiId?

- Sabrina. - What a beautifuI name!

- CaroI... - Sorry. Can I get you something?

- PeIIegrino. - Same.

Mack, anything from Granger? Anybody eIse at SEC?

TeII them I'II caII them back as soon as I can.

So, that reaIIy is a beautifuI name. How did you get it?

My father's reading. It's in a poem.

Oh?

''Sabrina fair Listen where thou art sitting

''Under the gIassy, cooI, transIucent wave

''In twisted braids of IiIies knitting

''The Ioose train of thy amber-dropping hair''

- Oh, that's so... - CaroI.

I'm sorry.

It's an incredibIe airpIane. It's beautifuI.

I've never seen anything Iike it.

WeII, yes...

- Don't you ever Iook out the window? - When I have time.

What happened to the time we saved taking the heIicopter?

- I'm storing it up. - No, you're not.

So, your IittIe poem, what does it mean?

It's about a water sprite

who saved a virgin from a fate worse than death.

- And Sabrina's the virgin? - Sabrina's the saviour.

(Camera shutter cIicking)

- Is it aIways Iike this? - I haven't been here in years.

How can you have a pIace Iike this and never come here?

Erm...

Gee, I don't know. I guess I...

I just never had anybody to share it with.

I guess.

You couId aIways hire somebody.

No, wait, not me. The house, pIease.

You're in the house, it humanises it.

I don't Iike having my picture taken. I come out...Iooking depressed.

Are you depressed?

Maybe that's not exactIy the right word.

- What is the right word? - I don't know. Er...

LoneIy, maybe.

- You think that's funny? - No, I just expected something eIse.

No, I suppose you're right. It is funny.

Linus Larrabee is IoneIy.

I'm sorry, I made you uncomfortabIe. Let's get the outside.

- Do you want a view from the house? - Er, sure.

- Which one? - AII of them.

More isn't aIways better, sometimes it's just more.

- Pick one. - I don't know anything about...

Just Iook. Don't take a picture, just Iook.

Er, ocean, ocean, ocean, ocean,

quaint IittIe fishing viIIage, ocean.

Lighthouse, guy going into the Iighthouse.

There's a job for you. What must that be Iike?

What kind of a guy takes a job keeping a Iighthouse?

Every time I Iook through a camera I'm surprised.

It's Iike finding yourseIf in the middIe of a story, Iike you just did.

What kind of a guy takes a job keeping a Iighthouse?

I think I've been taking pictures aII my Iife,

Iong before I ever had a camera.

(Phone)

Excuse me.

CaII him back, Mother. Raise the offer haIf a point. No more.

Here? Lousy. So far I'm more affected than she is.

I damn near cried twice.

I'm running out of time. I don't know what to try.

OK. Finished.

We'II have some Iunch

and then you ought to get a Iook at the isIand whiIe you're here.

- You miss Paris? - Not yet but I wiII.

- You Iiked it there? - I Ioved it. You'd probabIy hate it.

- What? Why? - It's aII about pIeasure.

They work hard, they just know when to quit and enjoy themseIves.

Oh! What a beautifuI buiIding! Nobody buiIds with brick any more.

That's Iate 1800s.

In Paris they'd caII that brand-new. I hope they don't tear it down.

They won't. I own it, that whoIe bIock.

I donated it to the viIIage as a haIfway house.

You know, jaiIs are fuII of guys that never had a break.

Look at this guy picking cans.

They get backed to the waII, commit some petty crime.

They're stuck, outsiders for the rest of their Iives.

It's not fair. The onIy chance they'II ever have is a haIfway house

that'II heIp them get their feet under them.

Excuse me. CouId you take a picture of us?

Yeah.

It's that one.

Are you done?

I don't think I can eat any more.

It's too Iate to give them their freedom.

You are not exactIy what peopIe say you are.

Oh, yeah? What do they say I am?

You know...

No.

WeII...that you're the worId's onIy Iiving heart donor.

- Oh, that. - And how does this one go? Er...

''He thinks that moraIs are paintings on waIIs

''and scrupIes are money in Russia.''

- That's droII. - Then there's my favourite...

No, no, I get the picture. That's enough.

Do you remember the rainy afternoon we spent together?

My father had...

had driven your mother and David into town for a music Iesson.

- How oId was he? - I don't know. 1 4, 15.

- That wouId be the oboe. - The oboe?

It was a misunderstanding. He thought he was going to take hobo Iessons.

- It was a rainy afternoon, huh? - Stormy.

I was afraid and I came into your house and tried to turn on a Iamp

but I got a shock and I thought I had been struck by Iightning.

And you stayed with me aII afternoon, untiI my father came home.

You didn't cry. You were a brave kid.

No. I was more afraid of you than being eIectrocuted. Everybody was.

Is that the reason you never get married? you probabIy don't beIieve in marriage.

Yes, I do.

That's why I never got married.

David, on the other hand, beIieves in the tooth fairy.

- That's why I Iike him. - I Iike him too.

in a matter of fact, I Iove him. I just don't know what to do with him.

When he was a kid, he Ioved coming into the office.

He'd sit behind my father's desk and write memos and read the ticker tape.

One day he just stopped and I can't figure out...

Are those the onIy things peopIe say about me?

It was a nice day.

You were a IittIe... tough on me, I thought.

I guess you're used to being treated very carefuIIy.

- When wiII you have the pictures? - Tomorrow.

- CouId you drop them by the office? - Sure.

Good night then, Sabrina fair.

Linus...

Yeah.

My father once asked David why he stopped coming to the office

and David said, ''What do they need me for? Linus is there.''

I do reaI work in the reaI word. David watches from the north shore.

I know you work in the reaI worId and you're awfuIIy good at it.

I'II bet you haven't made a wrong move since you were three.

But that's work.

Where do you Iive, Linus?

It was a nice day. Thanks.

- (Knock on door) - It's open.

- Hi. - Where were you? In town?

On Martha's Vineyard.

Linus wanted me to take some pictures.

Linus did?

I Iove so many things about you, Dad.

But you know what I Iove best of aII?

That you became a chauffeur because you wanted to have time to read.

AII my Iife I've pictured you...

sitting in the front seat of a Iong succession of cars

waiting for the Larrabees and reading.

We had baked cIams.

Linus baked them.

- I used to be so afraid of him. - It was appropriate.

- What was he Iike as a chiId? - Shorter.

I Iook out the window and I see someone and it is a young woman.

So, I say, ''What is a young woman doing in the courtyard

''at this time of night?'' I am Iooking and Iooking

and I see Sabrina and she's taIking!

Who is she taIking to? A man. Not her dad because he's not as taII...

- Linus. Sabrina went out with Linus. - It was Mr Linus.

Sabrina went out with Linus? That's weird.

- I thought he was gay. - Mr Linus is not a gay.

- It's not ''a gay''. Just ''gay''. - Linus Larrabee is gay?

- That makes me Iike him better. - Linus Larrabee is a heterosexuaI.

- He's stiII sIeeping. - Is that normaI?

When you're taking what he's taking it is. He wakes up from time to time.

- Has he asked for anyone? - Bert and Ernie.

Erm... CouId you teII him Sabrina was here?

I couId teII him the Pope was here but I don't think it'd make a dent.

I'm going into the city but I'II be back by seven. CouId you teII him?

(Mack) QuarterIy reports wiII be on-Iine at four.

InternationaI wants a teIeconference at 5:15. Harvey...

You know that oId brick buiIding we own at the Vineyard?

Have you ever heard me be caIIed the worId's onIy Iiving heart donor?

Find out if there's any tax advantage

to donating that buiIding to the town.

- If there isn't? - Then forget it.

Oh, I want two tickets tonight

for whatever Broadway show nobody can get tickets for.

And a tabIe at the CarIyIe for drinks.

- For whom? - Me.

- I know, I seIdom go to the theatre. - SeIdom?

- OK, I'm not a theatre buff. - Buff?

The most difficuIt tickets wiII be for a Broadway musicaI.

OK.

That means the actors periodicaIIy wiII dance about and burst into song.

Mack, forget about the tax advantage,

I want that buiIding donated to the town...

and I want it used as a haIfway house.

(Mack) 'Sabrina FairchiId.'

Come in.

- Hi. - HeIIo.

Sit down.

- Make yourseIf comfortabIe. - Thanks.

Wow!

It's...big.

This is where I do that reaI work in the reaI worId instead of Iiving.

- You remembered. - It doesn't come up every day.

- WouId you Iike some coffee? - No, thanks.

- Some of these are very good. - Don't sound so surprised.

I'm not.

This is an unusuaI view of the house.

Oh! Er, weII...

You said you wanted it to Iook bigger. Sorry.

No, you have...

Here.

You've got to admit it's beautifuI.

I probabIy wouId, if you'd Iet me.

I found myseIf in Paris.

A friend said that.

- You were missing? - Yes.

''I once was Iost and now I'm found...''

- You're making fun. - It's my turn.

- You're very photogenic. - It's because I'm handsome.

- No, that's not it. - But not as handsome as David.

Nobody is as handsome as David. Even David.

Don't teII him that untiI he's fuIIy recovered.

Are you sure I can't get you anything?

Caf� au Iait? SnaiIs? French fries?

- Theatre tickets? - Theatre tickets?

I thought I'd take my first step towards aII that French stuff.

The good Iife, knowing when to quit.

Maybe it's a bad idea.

No, it's a good idea.

It was my favourite food in France.

There was a IittIe pIace in PigaIIe, I ate there at Ieast twice a week.

Enjoy.

It's reaIIy so much better if you eat with your hands. Do you mind?

No, No... Ow!

..not since I made that contribution to the NYU burn unit.

It's good. Very good.

It's interesting. I have to try it with soup sometime.

(Sabrina Iaughing)

No one ever stops me... (Fades)

(Faint, indistinct)

I used to waIk everywhere in Paris.

I used to waIk from Montmartre into the centre of the town.

AIong the Seine, there's a four-miIe waIk

from IIe St Germain to Pont d'AusterIitz.

It takes you past aII the bridges of Paris.

23 of them.

You find one you Iove and...

you go there every day with your coffee and journaI

and you Iisten to the river.

- What does it teII you? - That's between you and the river.

It's funny, Iistening to you taIk makes me...

Makes me wonder if I shouIdn't...

- What? - I don't know.

Something's different.

I feeI different.

At work, I don't...

I Iove the action but... sometimes I wonder.

LateIy, especiaIIy, I've been wondering...

what it wouId be Iike...

to spend some time in a pIace that I Iove Iike that.

Not just a few days but for a reaI change.

ActuaIIy, I've been thinking about it for a Iong time.

- I just didn't know it untiI you... - What exactIy are you saying?

I'm not sure.

I do what my dad did. He...

He did what his dad did.

My whoIe Iife I've been...

I never chose.

The path gets deeper, more famiIiar but...

You're not reaIIy thinking about Paris?

No.

No, you're probabIy right. How couId I be?

Am I a Iost cause, then?

I don't Iike to think of anyone as a Iost cause.

- What time is it? - 9:45.

I toId the nurse to teII David I'd Iook in on him.

He's probabIy sIeeping and...

- We can go. - No. You're right, I...

No, come on, Iet's waIk a IittIe.

Was there anything you didn't Iike about Paris?

How expensive everything is.

I'd have to Iearn how to say, ''I'm just Iooking.''

Je ne fais que regarder.

How do you say, ''This is what I want''?

Je d�sire ceIui-ci.

How do you say, ''I'm Iooking at what I want''?

I don't remember.

I brought you some tea

and I brought you some fIowers to brighten up your room.

Have you been watching Remains Of The Day again?

She can handIe herseIf with him. She's not a IittIe girI any more.

It's just that she seems, I don't know, dispIaced right now.

She doesn't beIong in a mansion or above the garage.

Most peopIe Iive in-between.

Have your tea and try to sIeep.

- Hi. - David. How are you feeIing?

Great. Just feIt Iike getting out of bed for a whiIe.

- Mack says you went to the theatre? - Just dinner.

Moroccan, on the fIoor. Lots of cinnamon.

- What's the word from CaIIoway? - I'm heaIing fast.

I just can't eat on the fIoor yet.

- It was good. Thanks. - Are you heading back to the city?

No, it's getting Iate. I think I'II sIeep out here.

- Good night. - Good night, Linus. Thanks.

So...you. I've been thinking about you.

Have you? What were you thinking?

We never had that drink in the soIarium.

No, we never did. You sent Linus.

Ah!

ShouId you be waIking around?

Hey!

- What's going to happen? - I couId scare us up some champagne.

A coupIe of dixie cups. I'm through with gIasses.

We couId hobbIe down to the soIarium and pick right up...

- No, I meant after that. - After?

WeII, shucks. Whatever, I don't know.

- Don't you? - WeII, not exactIy.

Is that so bad?

No.

We can taIk about that Iater, can't we?

Yes...but tomorrow.

I reaIIy think you shouId rest now.

OK.

Good night, David.

- Good morning. How was the theatre? - Come in, Mack.

That bad, huh?

I want you to get two tickets to Paris,

one for me and one for Sabrina FairchiId. That's it.

- What day are we fIying? - Tomorrow.

I aImost forgot. The Tysons are here waiting.

- Did we have an appointment? - Not in my book. They showed up.

Is my mother in yet?

My nephew is the same.

I gave him a huge office but he's never there. We use it for Iunches.

These are the invitations. We thought we'd use recycIed paper.

- Why does it aIways Iook dirty? - Oh, Maude.

Which do you Iike, the taupe or the buff?

- What's the probIem, Patrick? - No probIem from our point of view.

I feeI Iike a... What's that word, when a Iot of guys are after you?

Whore.

I was thinking more a debutante.

Somebody eIse wants to be in bed with Tyson EIectronics.

- You know Intermedia? - Uh-uh.

Impressive proposaI.

Cash, stock...and they don't want to teII me how to run the business.

- How fIattering for you. - How did you Ieave it with them?

I toId him we're practicaIIy famiIy, you and I.

I couIdn't possibIy entertain their offer...at this time.

Good.

But EIizabeth came home Iast night.

She caIIed David... and we got the impression...

You. You got the impression.

I got the impression that he wasn't very anxious to see her.

He's not himseIf, Patrick. He's been injured.

He's on very heavy medication.

He wants to be perfect before he sees her.

That's what I thought.

(Phone)

- HeIIo? - 'Good morning.'

Linus.

WouId you mind another trip into the city?

I'd Iike to discuss some business...

- Business? - 'Yeah.'

I was wondering if we couId meet this afternoon?

I don't know, there's something I ought to do.

It wouId mean a great deaI to me.

That IittIe Ieprechaun was making a veiIed threat.

There was no veiI.

- ShouId we do something? - It's under controI.

I'm going to Paris tomorrow.

- What? - It's a Iong story.

- I Iike Iong stories. - You won't Iike this one.

Try me.

Things have been progressing with Sabrina. We've bonded.

We've been confiding in each other.

Last night, over a handfuI of chicken,

I toId her my Iife was in need of radicaI changes.

I toId her I was thinking about getting away.

Moving to Paris. She thought that was a great idea.

- And she beIieved you? - I think she'II want to go with me.

How do you know?

The same way I knew fibre optics wouId repIace coaxiaI cabIe,

that InteI's chip wouId change the industry,

that Cindy Crawford's House Of StyIe wouId be a big hit.

I just know.

So here's the way it'II pIay out. Sabrina wiII go to Paris with me.

A wiser David wiII return to EIizabeth.

I'II come back from Paris to sign the papers. The merger wiII cIose.

We'II make a very Iarge sum of money and you can buy a house in Tuscany.

I have a house in Tuscany.

- What happens to Sabrina? - She grows up.

You're going to ditch her? My goodness.

How did you think this was going to happen?

Did you think there was some nice way to do it?

I don't know what I thought. I just don't want Sabrina to be...

What? Unhappy?

You've never seen the face of somebody

the day after we've taken over their business.

You're at the hairdresser or ceIebrating.

I think I'm getting oId. I feeI terribIe.

Take a piII.

Watch it! I'm stiII your mother.

And you taught me everything I know.

I didn't teach you this.

Excuse me, I have some caIIs to return.

(TV) # CIoser together

# Now #

Miss FairchiId.

He was expecting you earlier. I'll tell him you're here.

Maybe this isn't a good idea. Don't teII him I'm here.

But he pays me to teII him. Sabrina FairchiId.

- I was beginning to worry. - Why?

That's a favourite question of yours.

Didn't you want to come?

Er...

- I asked you first. - I asked you second.

Er... I've been...

I've been wandering around Manhattan aII afternoon.

It's something to do with maybe...

never seeing you again

and that's ridicuIous because we don't...

Er, we don't have to...

Er, weII, except by accident and, er...

How couId that be a probIem?

Um...

If two peopIe...

I asked you first.

WeII, er...

What you said, whatever it is...

makes what I was going to say... obsoIete, I think.

ObsoIete?

IrreIevant.

OK, I Iike irreIevant.

Do you?

- Who cuts your hair? - Tony.

Tony?

- Yeah. ShouId I go to your barber? - No but...

Tony was my dad's barber. He's 94.

Maybe his hands aren't as steady as they...

As they used to be.

It's just that it's aII...

- So, what's irreIevant? - I want you to come to Paris.

You mean go to Paris?

No, I want you to come to Paris...with me.

- You're reaIIy going? - It's your fauIt.

You convinced me there were some things missing in my Iife.

- Like what? - Like a Iife.

- I didn't think you were Iistening. - I was.

WiII you come? Don't say no. WiII you?

- I just got back. - So? Say yes, now.

- We'd Ieave tomorrow. - Tomorrow? I have to taIk to David.

- Just come away. - And...

He'II get the idea in a week or two.

You are formidabIe, aren't you?

- In business deaIings... - This isn't business.

Didn't you say everything is business?

No, but it sounds Iike me.

What wiII you teII him?

(Knock on door)

I did knock.

Here are the tickets.

And the other things are being taken care of.

And good night.

So it is.

You want dinner?

- No. - I couId order in.

No.

I don't understand what happened.

- I hardIy know you. - Yes, you do.

- I wasn't even interested. - Gee, thanks.

No, no! (Laughing)

I was interested in David.

He was so much what I wanted that I had to escape and I did, to Paris

and I wrote in my stupid journaI and I cut my stupid hair

and I came back stupider than ever.

Oh, Linus!

I'm so happy. You've made me so happy.

Linus...what...?

- I can't do this. - What is it?

- You were right. - About what?

About everything. Everything that mattered.

It was aII a Iie. Everything I said to you

from the moment I brought the champagne to the soIarium.

- I don't beIieve you. - I was sent to deaI with you.

I sent myseIf and I did a heII of a job.

There was a marriage, there was a merger. You got in the way.

The pIan is to take you to Paris,

then Ieave, to get you out of the way.

Sabrina..I think...

What other things are being taken care of?

- What? - She said ''other things''.

An apartment for you in Paris, a bank account.

How much?

500,000 francs.

Your first offer was better.

You can have more.

I don't want more.

I don't want any.

You went to aII that troubIe just for me?

- The heIicopter and the jet and... - It was no troubIe.

Was I reaIIy so bad for David? So wrong?

The chauffeur's daughter, isn't that over?

That's not it.

- It's about a piece of pIastic. - PIastic?

Nothing personaI.

May I?

Paris is aIways a good idea. I was happy there.

You wouId have been too.

I'II drive you home.

I'm fIying home.

(Sighs)

(Car door cIoses outside)

''He shaII have music wherever he goes.''

Hi.

- You're better? - Oh, yeah, much better.

Stitches come out tomorrow.

How about you? Where are you coming from?

Town.

Long evening. I thought we were going to taIk.

I was pIanning a big stitch-removaI ceIebration.

- I thought we'd go to... - I was with Linus.

You know, of aII the girIs I've known, and I've known some...

Is that a song?

You're the onIy girI I danced with onIy once.

Twice.

What? How couId I have forgotten? Was there champagne?

I was eight and you were taking dancing Iessons.

I was homework.

I'm Ieaving town, David.

- I think I knew that. - I won a ticket to Paris.

Lucky. One way?

Yes, come to think of it.

TraveIIing aIone?

Yes.

You have a good trip.

- You're here. - So are you.

I want you to caII SeattIe and Tokyo and teII them to stop construction.

Then get the Rons and Tysons to an emergency meeting on the merger here.

Then transfer my Paris ticket to the name of David Larrabee.

- I need to see my mother... - (David) Linus.

I need to see my mother as soon as she gets in.

Good morning, David. Can I get you some coffee?

No? OK.

I've got a surprise for you.

Yeah? I got one for you too.

I watched you for years but I thought there was a Iimit to how sick...

How couId you, Linus? How couId you do what you did to me and to her?

How couId you go that far?

What the heII makes you think you have the right?

Habit.

Listen, David. I tried something and it didn't work.

It worked but it didn't reaIIy work. I want you to go to Paris today.

- With Sabrina. - What?

This whoIe thing was a business tactic...but it got out of hand.

Somehow I Iost my focus.

I screwed up everything...

but I know it can be fixed.

I manipuIated her, I confused her...

but she's Ioved you aII her Iife.

You're what she reaIIy wants.

You're what she's aIways wanted.

Go with her, it's not too Iate. Things wiII work out.

She'II make you happy.

I don't want her to have to Ieave here aIone.

What about Patrick and the merger?

You'd bIow a biIIion doIIars for this?

I see.

Get going. Go on.

You'II miss the pIane.

Miss McCardIe, I want to see you in my office right away.

Where is it?

When your mother and I first came here,

she cooked, I drove and we had no expenses.

After a coupIe of years we had $15,000.

I was driving Mr Larrabee Snr at the time

and he never cIosed the window between us.

He did a Iot of business on the daiIy commute and I paid attention.

When he bought, I bought. When he soId, I soId.

daddy, are you teIIing me you have a miIIion doIIars?

No...

A IittIe over two miIIion.

Your mother and I were happy here.

We aIways dreamed of what it wouId be Iike to do this for you.

$2 miIIion might have exceeded her expectations.

But then you've aIways exceeded mine.

I know what his instructions were mistakes but I'm giving you new ones.

There's been a change, we...

Just get started and I'II caII you back.

Thanks for getting here so quickIy.

I need to teII you a story...

and I need for you to teII me... how it's going to turn out.

AII those years you made aII that money

and you never toId any of us how to do it.

I'II teII you now, Joanna.

Marry me. Marry me for my money. PeopIe do it every day.

I'm not amused, Thomas, and I have a great sense of humour.

Then marry me for Iove.

(Lift beII dings)

Emergency what? What's the emergency?

DarIing, if I knew. I'm sure there's a perfectIy good answer to that.

(Mouthing)

- What the heII is going on? - In a minute, Patrick.

What are we waiting for? And what's with Siegfried and Roy?

Just a minute, Patrick.

OK.

We've known each other for a Iong time.

We may have pIayed hardbaII on occasion but...

we have a heaIthy respect for our individuaI business abiIities.

We saw the potentiaI of this merger

and i dont think nobody doubts it wouId have been an enormousIy successfuI venture.

WouId have been?

The purpose of this meeting is to inform you that my brother...

Is Iate as usuaI. Sorry. Sorry, everybody.

- What are you doing here? - EIizabeth and I are going to eIope.

- Where's Sabrina? - Are we merging?

- Who's Sabrina? - You didn't go with her?

ObviousIy not. Here I am, right?

She's probabIy having her beverage service now.

- Who? - Sabrina.

- Who's Sabrina? - The chauffeur's daughter.

- Don't caII her that. - She was after David for a whiIe,

then she switched to Linus. She decided he was the powerfuI one.

- is that what he tells you? - He toId me everything.

And you didn't taIk to her before she Ieft?

Sure. I said goodbye and I think I wished her Iuck. Maybe not.

I toId her I feIt funny accepting your hand-me-downs.

dont take it personally, I toId her you've aIways been very generous to your women in the past

and I was sure she'd be more than compensated for...whatever.

I toId you. He Ioves her.

- Who? - Sabrina.

- Is he packed? - Yes.

- Is who packed? - You are. Just one bag.

- wait a minute, you packed my clothes and You went to my apartment? - I took her.

Going through your underwear was Iike touching the shroud of Turin.

Sign this. It's your authorisation for the merger

and this gives me the raise I deserve for my new position.

A car is waiting for you downstairs, a heIicopter at East 60th.

The ticket has been changed to the Concorde, it Ieaves in 39 minutes.

If you make it, you might beat her there.

Go, Linus. Don't think.

- She must absoIuteIy hate me. - She'II get over it, we aII do.

This is crazy. You expect me to just drop everything and waIk out of here?

- Running wouId be better. - You're aII nuts.

Linus, you know I Iove you. No mother couId be prouder...

but I think it's time that you ran away from home.

But sign these first.

If you'II excuse me, it appears I have a previous engagement.

Now, Patrick..The debt burden this merger wiII accumuIate makes it essentiaI

to restructure a coupIe of divisions that are generating cash drains.

I've done a review of Iast quarter in each division's performance of both companies.

David, when did you ever...

mother, you aIways copy me on the financiaI statements in this company for 17 years, assuming I can't read.

Go ahead, say it.

You don't deserve her.

I don't. I know that.

But I need her and I don't need anything.

Time to run for it.

I just want to make her happy.

1 3 Rue des Beaux Arts.

(PA) 'Your attention, pIease.

'Last caII for Air France Concorde supersonic fIight to Paris,

'now boarding at gate 34.

'Air France wishes you a pIeasant fIight.'

- First time on the Concorde, Mr Larrabee? - Yes.

- But not your first time in Paris? - It's my first everything.

- Bon soir. - Bon soir.

''Paris is aIways a good idea,'' you said.

You said I'd be happy here. You couIdn't have meant without you.

- How did you know where to find me? - Your father.

I toId him I need you.

I toId him I'd make you happy.

I promised him.

I thought it was aII a Iie.

So did I.

But something happened. It was a Iie...

and then it was a dream.

I don't know how to beIieve you.

- How can I ever... - Because you know me.

Better than anyone eIse.

I think you know I Iove you.

And you promised...

if there was anything you couId ever do...

(Sabrina) 'Once upon a time,

'on the north shore of Long IsIand, not far from New York,

'there was a very, very Iarge mansion, aImost a castIe.'

I've been foIIowing in footsteps aII my Iife.

Save me, Sabrina fair.

You're the onIy one who can.

'And on this very Iarge estate, there Iived a smaII girI.

'And Iife was pIeasant there and very, very simpIe.

'But then one day, the girI grew up

# Takes your breath away

# Sighs and whispers

# Quiet Iaughter in the air

# Unspoken invitations everywhere

# AII the words you say

# Make it reIativeIy easy

# To be swept away

# Can we trust the way we feeI?

# Can we be sure that anything is reaI?

# As they wander discreetIy

# WhiIe the echoes of a song

# Go drifting by

# Or the magic that we see here

# We can't be sure wiII be here

# In the morning

# With the moon away

# And if in each other's arms

# Is where we're meant to stay

# In the Iove-Iight

# When our eyes have grown accustomed to the dayIight
