:25:00
- How do you mean that?
- And now you will laugh.
:25:04
- He kisses my hand.
- That figures. Standard opening.
:25:07
- Now you are being deliberately stupid.
- No, I'm...
:25:11
Oh! So he kisses your hand, period.
:25:15
- Is that all right with you?
- No, of course... Yes.
:25:19
- As it should be with a contessa.
- In a fairy tale.
:25:23
How long's it been
since you've known him?
:25:26
Almost six weeks.
:25:29
Six weeks of being
near you day and night.
:25:33
Sometimes he holds me with his two
hands, like this, and just looks at me.
:25:38
Are you sure he can see you?
:25:40
He sees more than any man I have
ever known. Except perhaps you.
:25:44
- I'm not seeing much of anything for now.
- I told you. He is what other men are not.
:25:49
That seems obvious.
It also seems obvious that maybe
:25:52
we're carrying this fairy-tale nonsense
a little too far - right smack into reality.
:25:57
I don't want this to be a shock to you,
:25:59
but a count is a man
and a contessa is a woman.
:26:05
- You had better see for yourself.
- No, I want to hear more about this.
:26:09
No. I have a sitting and I'm late.
:26:16
Looking back, I probably wasn't
as worried then as I now think I was.
:26:22
But I do know that I was filled
with a sudden uneasiness.
:26:32
:26:34
Signor Trilli, Signor Dawes.
:26:37
Good afternoon.
:26:41
Well, Harry? Say something.
:26:43
Wait till they hear about this in California.
:26:46
In six months, Beverly Hills will have
more statues than orange trees.
:26:50
- Where does it go?
- Right where it is.
:26:52
Although, due to a whim of Maria,
it will be more at home in our garden.
:26:56
As you can see, she has insisted
upon posing with bare feet.
