:35:00
- Foul play?
- She--
:35:02
- Oh, Duke.
- It's a little bit funny,
:35:05
this feeling inside.
:35:07
Beautifully spoken, Duke.
Yes, let me introduce you. The writer.
:35:10
- The writer?
- Yes, we were rehearsing.
:35:15
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
:35:17
You expect me to believe that scantily
clad, in the arms of another man,
:35:20
in the middle of the night,
inside an elephant, you were rehearsing?
:35:23
How's the rehearsal going?
:35:25
- Shall we take it from the top, eh?
- I hope the piano's in tune.
:35:29
-Sorry. Got held up.
- Can I offer you a drink?
:35:35
Oh, my goodness!
:35:37
When I spoke those words to you
before, you--you filled me
with such inspiration.
:35:40
Yes, I realized how much work we
had to do, so I called everyone
for an emergency rehearsal.
:35:46
If you're rehearsing,
where's Zidler?
:35:48
- We didn't bother Harold.
- My dear Duke, I'm most terribly sorry.
:35:52
Harold, you made it. It's all right.
The Duke knows about
the emergency rehearsal.
:35:56
- Emergency rehearsal?
- Mmm, to incorporate
the Duke's artistic idea.
:35:59
- Hmm?
- I'm sure Audrey will be
only too delighted--
:36:02
- Audrey's left.
- He's what?
- The cat's out ofthe bag.
:36:05
Yes, the Duke's already a big fan
of our new writer's work.
:36:08
- That's why he's so keen to invest.
- Invest?
:36:11
Invest!
Oh, yes, well, invest!
:36:14
You can hardly blame me
for trying to hide, uh--
:36:17
- Christian.
- Christian away.
:36:19
- I'm way ahead of you, Zidler.
- My dear Duke.
:36:21
Why don't you and I go to my office
to peruse the paperwork?
:36:24
- What's the story?
- The story?
:36:26
Well, if I'm to invest,
I'll need to know the story.
:36:28
Ah, yes.
Well, the story's about--
:36:32
Toulouse?
:36:34
Well, the story's-- the story's about--
:36:38
- Well, it's-it's about--
- It's about love.
:36:41
- Love?
- It's about love
overcoming all obstacles.
:36:47
And it's set in Switzerland!
:36:50
- Switzerland?
- Exotic Switzerland!
:36:52
India. India!
It's set in India!
:36:56
And there's a courtesan.
:36:58
The most beautiful courtesan
in all the world.
