He couldn't. But any of
your mother's girlfriends could.

1:09:03
You know how you females
plot together.

1:09:05
- All they had to do was call...
- And if a man answers, hang up.

1:09:10
Has your father cleared my good name?
1:09:12
Mm-hmm.
It's a delicious idea.

1:09:14
Maman, do you think
I might borrow your Mr. Swan?

1:09:18
For a daughter to borrow a mother's lover
is in questionable taste.

1:09:21
Even in Paris.
1:09:24
Germaine, if the gentleman never existed,
how could it be in questionable taste?

1:09:28
That is true, but I pictured him so clearly that I
keep forgetting he existed only in my imagination.

1:09:33
Very well, chouchou.
Since your father approves...

1:09:36
I most definitely do not approve.
In fact, I think it's...

1:09:39
But, my dear, you just said...
What I said was...

1:09:41
Well, let's forget it. And you,
Charlotte, had best forget Robert Swan.

1:09:45
- He'd be much too old for you now anyway.
- Not to pick up the phone and dial.

1:09:49
Maybe he had a son.
Bye, Father.

1:09:55
- Merci. Merci beaucoup, Maman.
- You're welcome, chouchou.

1:10:01
Isn't it lovely? Even now,
a small part of your father...

1:10:04
is not completely sure
there was no Robert Swan.

1:10:07
Maman, you must
call me tonight.

1:10:10
And, if a man answers...
It's the click that drives them mad.

1:10:14
And they say it's the female
who's the curious one. Bye-bye, Maman.

1:10:17
Bye, darling.
1:10:22
Oh. The roses.
Roses?

1:10:24
On your way home, send yourself two dozen
long-stem roses from the very best florist.

1:10:29
Long-stem. That's very important.
Long-stem roses. Mr. Swan is expensive.

1:10:34
And no card. When Gene wants to
know who sent them, tell him you did.

1:10:39
Never lie to him.
Now, when ordering the roses,

1:10:42
pretend you are Mr. Swan's secretary.
1:10:45
And mention his name often to the
florist, so he will be sure to remember it.

1:10:50
- Mrs. Stacy, you are a witch.
- Yes.

1:10:55
Come on. Come on.
