Irma: "I hate ugliness, I love beauty,
I hate meaness, I adore kindness."
"It may not seem so grand to some to be a
waiteress in Paris."
"I love it."
"I love people, but I never said 'I love you'
to a man."
"Men try to make me say it."
"Because when I say 'I love you' to HIM,
he will know just by looking in my eyes....
I have never said 'I love you' to anyone in
the world before."
"Never, no."
Thinking of Roderick she whispers:
"I LOVE YOU."

Countess: "My dear Mr. ........."
"What is his name?"
"I have personally verified the existenceof
a spontaneous
outcrop of oil in the cellar of Number 21
Rue de Chaillot, which
is at present occupied by a person of unstable
mentality.
This explains why, fortunately for us, the
discovery has so long
been kept secret. If you should wish to verify
the existence
of this outcrop of yourself.......
The countess makes her visits to invite
all the men at 11 o'clock
p.m to be in the cellar.
The greed of each person made them to be on
time.

in her cellar. |
Constance:"Aurelia!" "Here we are!"
"Don't tell us they've found your boa?"
Gabriellle:"You don't mean Adolphe Bertaut
has proposed at last?"
Countess shouting:"How are you Constance?"
"How are you Gabrielle?"
"Thank you for both so much for coming."
Gabrielle:"You needn't shout today, my dear."
"It is Wednesday, I hear prefectly."
Constance:"It's Thursday."
(To her imaginary dog)
"Come along, Dickie."
"Come along!"
"And stop barking!"
"Come on darling, we have come to see the
longest boa
and the handsomest man in Paris."
"Come along!"
|
Countess: "Constance, it's not a question
of my boa today."
"Nor of Adolphe!"
"It's a question of the future of the human
race."
Constance: "You think it has a future?"
Countess:"Don't make silly jokes!"
"Sit down and listen to me."
"We have got to make a decision today,
which may alter the fate of the world."
Constance:"Couldn't we do it tomorrow?"
"I want to wash my slippers."
"Now, Dickie please!"
Countess:"We haven't a moment to waste!"
"Where is Josephine?"
"Well, we'd better to have our tea, and as
soon as
Josephine comes...."
Gabrielle:"Josephine is sitting on a bench
by the palace
waiting for President Wilson to come out."
"She says she's sorry, but she must see him
today."
Countess:"What a pity see has to see him today!"
"She has first-class brains!"
|
Josephine:"My dear friends, today, once
again, I wated and waited
for President Wilson, but He didn't come."
Countess:"You'll have to wait quite a while
longer before he does!"
"He has been dead since 1924!"
Josephine:"I have plenty of time."
Countess:"In anyone else, Josephine,
these extravagances would seem childish."
"But a person of your judgment doubtless
has her reason for wantind to talk to a man
to whom
no one would listen when he was alive."
"We have a legal problem for you........"
"Suppose you had all the world's criminals
here in the room."
"And suppose you had a way of getting rid
of them."
"Would you have the right to do it?"
Josephine:"Why not?"
Countess:"Exactly my point!"
Gabrielle:"But Josephine, so many people...."
