advice, you will not appear so excited. Yes, you are right, Pierre. Pierre, play. Play. I sing for you, yes. Just like he's not here. We'll let him wait till I'm finished. Come on, play, play, play. -Your missus is in lovely voice today, Marie. -Oui, monsieur. You will see. Marie, someone has apparently spilled the orchids. Now, will you phone Sidney for me? Have him send up another dozen immediately. Well? Why do you not pick these up? Because fallen flowers, my dear, are like fallen stars. They soon lose their luster. Marie, pick them up. No, I cannot sing today. I'm much too angry to sing. I'm sick of watching you roll your eyes like I do. Please go home. I give you your notes. Please take them. Go home, yes? Go. So I'm a fallen star, yes? I have no luster, no? Oh, yes, you have, my dear. -But do you know what it comes from? -I don't care. What? Milk baths. Or at least that's what you must tell the reporters. I'm so hurt. The front page of the paper says you are sued on my account. If you send milk, why don't you pay for it? If I did, it wouldn't be in the papers. Can't you tell them I just used the milk without buying it and being sued for it? They wouldn't believe it. Now it's a matter of record. Besides, they don't care whether I ever pay the bill. All that interests them is that in two months, you've used 1 200 gallons of milk. This is terrible. -Ask the reporters to come up. -Do nothing of the kind. Anna, you must not insult the press. If they come up, I tell the truth. No, at first, tell them nothing. Desk, please. Pretend embarrassment. Pretend it? I was never so ashamed. Are the gentlemen of the press still waiting for Miss Held? What are you doing? Oh, yes, if you will, please. I will say I never in my life took a milk bath. I will tell them it is all a press story. I will go back to France. Marie, pack the things. Quick. This time I mean it! You cannot make a circus of me. I'm not a strongman like Sandow. I'm a real artist, and I never, never, never will say that. Yes? Oh, ask them to come right up, please. No! Anna, don't you realize that if we put this story over... ...your name will be in headlines from coast to coast? Every woman in the country will be talking about you. I don't care. I do not have to be a cow to be a success. And before I make such a fool of myself, I tear up my contract with you. So... ...where is it? And besides-- Besides-- And besides, you do nothing as I like to have it. It must always be your way. I ask you 1 000 times to have costumes like Lillian Russell. She has not to take milk baths to be a success. She is beautiful. But, no, I cannot have gowns like her. There now. Tell the reporters about that! -Anna. -I mean it. I'm determined. Anna. You let the reporters come up, yes? All right, I tell them everything. Anna? Well, I should tell them, no? No. Now, you do what I ask you to, darling... ...and I'll do whatever you wish. You mean, you'll let me have gowns like Lillian Russell? Oh, no, darling. You're not her type. -But I'll tell you what I will do. -What? I'll put eight Lillian Russells on the stage behind you. Isn't Anna beautiful? I wonder if the milk baths really make her skin so nice. Oh, they most certainly do. I've been taking them for a long time. Oh, Marie, were they not wonderful tonight? And the girls! Don't they look gorgeous? Marie. Look. From my Flo. Oh, my Flo. Oh, Marie! Marie! You read what he says. Oui, madame. Read it to me, quick! What does it say? "My darling. I never knew that one long year could seem like one short moment. You are magnificent, my wife. Flo." Oh, Marie. -Marie, did you hear that? -I just read it, madame. No, no. Did you hear what he says? "You are magnificent, my wife." Oh, madame, look! Look! Marie! Come on, help me. Oh, isn't it gorgeous? Oh, madame, look, look! Here's another one! ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Волкодав из рода Серых Псов на английском - текст Рыбка по имени Ванда на английском - текст Потерянный уикэнд на английском - текст Садко-богатый на английском - текст Тепловой удар на английском |
