: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.
:37:02
But her kingdom's invaded
by an evil maharajah!
:37:05
In order to save her kingdom,
she has to seduce the evil maharajah.
:37:09
But on the night
of the seduction,
:37:12
she mistakes a penniless--
a penni--
:37:15
penniless sitar player...
:37:17
for the evil maharajah,
and she falls in love with him.
:37:21
He wasn't trying to trick her
or anything, but he was
dressed as a maharajah...
:37:24
because he's appearing
in a play.
:37:27
I will play penniless
tango-dancing sitar player.
:37:30
He will sing like an angel,
but dance like the devil.
:37:34
Yes. Yes, all right.
And what happens next?
:37:38
Well, the penniless sitar player
and the courtesan,
:37:41
they have to hide their love
from the evil maharajah.
:37:44
The penniless sitar player's sitar is
magical. It can only speak the truth.
:37:47
And-And I will play
the magical sitar.
:37:51
- You are beautiful.
:37:54
You are ugly.
:37:56
-And you are--
:37:58
- And he gives the game away?
- Yes!
