and be loved in return. "
:54:06
- A picnic, sweet lady?
:54:08
Oh, well, we have so much to do,
so much work.
:54:10
Well, if the young writer
can carry a blanket and basket,
:54:12
I don't why see why you both
can't do it in my presence.
:54:15
- So the magical sitar player
falls from the roof--
- Yes, I know. Don't tell me.
:54:20
The greatest thing
you'll ever--
:54:23
- Still at it, my sweet?
:54:25
- Master...
- Alley-oop!
:54:27
make... contract.
:54:30
Oh, my dear, sweet Duke.
So many lines to learn.
:54:32
Been trilling them
over and over.
:54:34
For try as the Dukemay,
:54:36
it was almost too easy for
the young writer and the lead actress...
:54:39
to invent perfectly legitimate reasons
to avoid him.
:54:44
Mademoiselle Satine, I haven't quite
finished writing that new scene.
:54:48
The "Will the Lovers Be Meeting at
the Sitar Player's Humble Abode" scene.
:54:53
I wondered if I could work on it
with you later tonight.
:54:57
But, my dear, I've arranged
a magnificent supper for us
in the gothic tower.
:55:01
It's not important.
We could work on it tomorrow.
:55:03
Oh, how dare you!
It cannot wait until tomorrow.
:55:06
The "Lovers Will Be Meeting in the
Sitar Player's Humble Abode" scene...
:55:08
is the most important
in the production.
:55:11
We will work on it tonight
until I am completely satisfied.
:55:13
- B-B-But, my dear--
- Dear Duke, excuse me.
:55:18
I'm sorry.
:55:23
Nice work! Splendid!
:55:25
Bright and early tomorrow morning,
we begin on act two--
:55:28
the lovers are discovered.
:55:31
- Zidler.
- My dear Duke.
:55:34
Everything is arranged for that special
supper in the gothic tower tonight.
:55:38
You might as well eat it yourself,
Zidler. Her affections are waning.
:55:41
- Impossible.
- I understand how important
herwork is to her,
:55:43
but she's always at it
with that damned writer!
:55:47
If I don't see her tonight,
I'm bally well leaving!
:55:51
No, dear Duke!
I'll insist Satine takes the night off.
:55:55
All right. All right.
:55:59
8:00, then.
