FATHER EUGENIO (ALEX) What does this letter contain? Give it to me. DO?A MARIA (ROSE) But promise me not to read it while you are here. Read it This evening -- wait till this evening. Promise me. And Tomorrow...no, never speak to me about it. If you give it Back I shall punish myself for my folly...but for God's sake Don't scold me. FATHER EUGENIO (ALEX) Hand it over. DO?A MARIA (ROSE) Have pity, I implore you. I have resisted as long as I could, But you mustn't open it here. Oh, God, what are you doing? Father Eugenio, I implore you. For pity's sake, give it back. Father, you are killing me. FATHER EUGENIO (ALEX) What are you doing? Pull yourself together. GEORGE You must forgive this rude intrusion, But I really felt I had to say "Well done"! ALEX Oh, uncle George, Come in, come in... ROSE I've heard a million things about you... GEORGE And you are...? ROSE I am Rose Vibert. GEORGE I hate to spoil your fun, But I was dying for a gin -- But don't let me disturb you. ROSE Oh, it's nice to meet you... GEORGE (warming to the situation) Surely M?rim?e's "L'Occasion"? ALEX Lemon? Ice? ROSE The perfect play. GEORGE Yet overstated... ROSE Yes, that's true. GEORGE ...And somehow dated now -- A living fossil! ROSE How concise! GEORGE And Alex, you show promise. ROSE Well, he is my pupil! GEORGE Ah, so this is your profession? ALEX Rising star! GEORGE I'm sure, I'm sure. ROSE I'm playing Hilde... ALEX ...In two weeks. GEORGE "The Master Builder"? ROSE Yes. GEORGE What a courageous girl you are. ROSE I hate to tear myself away, But I must go and change -- Please promise me you'll stay. GEORGE I wouldn't dream of going far! I'd like to be the first To say "She's perfect!" -- A face like that I haven't seen in years! ALEX You must forgive us For breaking in here. I'll make it up, George, Have no fear -- But please don't throw Us out of here, I beg you... Seeing is believing -- I saw her and I loved her... You must understand what I'm saying -- She's not just someone... GEORGE A love affair is not a crisis. Enjoy it like a fine champagne -- Taste, but never let it Cloud the brain. A memory of a happy moment -- That's what this time will one day be. Life goes on, Love goes free... ALEX Some girls are like that, They'll love you and leave you, But Rose -- There's only one Rose... I'm telling you, This is not some schoolboy game -- My life will never be the same. GEORGE I look at you and ALEX I knew it from the moment I remember That I saw her face... How many times I've There could Felt this way -- Never be Ah, the tricks Any other Love can play... Love for me... GEORGE Alex, quick! Some brandy! ROSE You go... ALEX I'll go... ROSE Quickly... ALEX (hurrying out) I'm going... GEORGE Do forgive me... So unlike me... You looked just like her... My wife... Delia... I thought for a moment... The dress was hers, But you look just as lovely -- It should be worn... I've caused such drama here... ROSE You mustn't think that... GEORGE It wasn't meant, my dear... I'd better leave you two alone... ROSE You're in no state to travel -- No, You won't go anywhere. You're staying in that chair. Why spend the evening on your own? ALEX Why, why must he spy on us? It was perfect till he came! Why, why must he ruin it? GEORGE ...Of course, painting always was my first love. ROSE Oh, to be so gifted. GEORGE When I'm dead they'll fetch a fortune. ALEX We shall see. ROSE I'd buy one now. ALEX (to GEORGE) You'd better tell her... ROSE Tell me what? ALEX ...Before you sell her one, That they're just copies... GEORGE But by me! ROSE (changing the subject, to GEORGE) I'd love to hear your poems! GEORGE I shall write one for you... ALEX Byron isn't here to sue you. ROSE Alex, please -- Don't interrupt. GEORGE At least I do things. ROSE Yes, that's true. GEORGE ...I see a few things through... We often have disputes like these. Did Alex ever tell you... ALEX We'll be here till breakfast... GEORGE (ignoring him, continues) ...Why his final year At school was rather short? ROSE No, not a word. ALEX (horrified realization) No, George, you couldn't... ROSE Please go on! ALEX No, George, you wouldn't dare... GEORGE I think it might amuse her... I've had a splendid time, A truly splendid time -- But I can see that I'm de trop... I have a little tryst Too tempting to resist, And now I really ought to go... I wish you both a charming fortnight, Enjoy your little one-to-one -- Have your fling, Have your fun... A memory of a happy moment -- That's what these days will one day be... Life goes on, Love goes free... ALEX I think I know where he's gone -- He's off to take his Italian lessons! ROSE How could you have let me wear this dress? He must think I have no feelings! You should have said what he was like... I must seem a heartless woman! I must seem a soulless creature! Anyway, let's not have a scene..
