Rose Marie

'Early morning paper! Read all about it!'

Early morning paper! Read all...

Get out. There's a show going on.

Sell your paper somewhere else.

That was E above high C.

That was the worst orchestra

and the worst conductor I've ever sung with.

And what was the idea of holding every high A

longer than I did?

- Who's been smoking in here? - I have.

Teddy, give it to me.

You know how I detest smoking.

- Where'd you come from? - New York.

I came to see if you'd changed your mind.

Now, Teddy, I told you in Cleveland I told you in Detroit...

I thought it might be different in Montreal.

You're wasting a lot of carfare.

Go on back to New York and forget all about me.

Don't rush me. I'm going. Don't panic.

I've decided to reconsider.

You don't have to be in love with me. I'll marry you anyway.

Now, Teddy, get out of here!

You're missing a great bet.

Think of all of father's millions.

Once and for all, I am not going to marry you.

I see. You're in love with somebody else.

No, I'm not in love with anyone.

- You sure? - Absolutely positive.

- Go on home. - Well, that's fine.

See you in Toronto.

What am I going to do with that lad, Roderick?

He's a very good match, madame.

What do I want of a good match? I have everything.

I have my work, I have fame, I have money.

- Everything but.. - But what?

I was going to say, love, madame.

Do you think I could fall in love with that silly boy?

Why, I could twist him around my little finger like that.

But I did not mean him, necessarily.

But they're all alike, stupid idiots.

Oh. Not all, madame.

Alright, if you see one that's different

you point him out to me, I'll show you.

The only man I'd waste a minute thinking about is my brother.

Here is a letter from your brother.

- Oh. When did this come? - At 5 o'clock.

Why didn't you give it to me before?

I did not want to upset you before your performance.

Oh, he heard me on the radio, Roderick.

- They let them listen. - Oh, I'm glad of that.

Does he say anything about his parole?

"Last week, I went up before the parole board

"for my ticket of leave and... was refused.

Better luck next time. Your sincere admirer."

- Oh, Jack. - Oh, please, please, madame.

Do not upset yourself.

I've got to do something for him, Roderick.

But he does not want you to, madame.

Well, I've listened to him long enough.

But it would only distress him.

He does not want to drag you into this.

Look how careful he's been.

Writing as if he did not know you.

As if he was just one of your fans.

But everything is different now.

Now that he's been refused.

What could you do, madame?

I don't know.

Imagine putting a boy in jail

just because he carried a gun.

But he held up a man with that gun.

- He didn't shoot him, did he? - No, no, no..

I, I can't see anyone.

- Mr. Myerson, madame. - Good evening, Roderick.

Oh, come in, Myerson.

You were beautiful, beautiful!

- Thank you, Myerson. - And look what we took in.

Yes, yes. I'll look at it later.

Broke the house record. Didn't it, Gordon?

You know Mr. Gordon, the manager of the house?

- Yes, yes. - You were superb.

Uh, during my 20 years in this theater

I never heard a more lovely voice.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

And now if you'll excuse me

I'm not feeling very well.

Oh, dear, dear. I sensed that.

I could see it in your performance.

Miss de Flor has a terrible throat.

There's nothing wrong with my throat and I never sang better in my life.

I just don't feel like seeing people, that's all.

- You understand, I'm sure. - Of course, he understands.

Uh, you won't see anyone, mademoiselle?

There are one or two very important people...

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

- The premier, he's waiting. - 'I can't help that.'

'But he's come all the way from Quebec'

'just on purpose to hear Mademoiselle de Flor.'

'He's most anxious to meet her.'

- 'My dear fellow..' - Uh, Myerson! Myerson!

Uh, I-I should be delighted to meet the Premier.

Ah, thank you. Thank you so much.

After all, it's more or less

like a command performance, isn't it?

- Yes, indeed. Yes, indeed. - I'll go and tell him.

- He's in my office. - Very well.

I'll have the photographers all ready.

You'll do nothing of the sort.

Yes.

Temperamental as a hoot owl.

Roderick, change my shoes right away.

We've got to impress the Premier.

Oh, you do not have to do anything

to impress him, madame.

I watched him from the wings. Oh!

He was applauding and applauding.

- Oh, he was, was he? - Oh, yes, madame.

He was crazy about you.

Roderick, I'm going to wear my new gown.

You know, the white one. And telephone Emil.

Tell him to prepare the finest supper he's ever served.

- The Premier is coming. - Yes, madame.

Father, father, ooh!

Mademoiselle, Canada is proud of you.

You've given me more pleasure tonight

than I've had for years.

Hmm. That wouldn't be just patriotism, would it?

I assure you, I'd have to admit it even if you were an American.

- Oh. - My wife.

- How do you do? - How do you do?

- And my sister-in-law. - How do you do?

You had me enthralled all evening.

- Oh, thank you. - Mrs. Carter.

And may I, too, tell you how beautiful you were?

- Oh, you're very kind. - You were wonderful.

I never realized before how beautiful that opera was.

You're all so gracious.

And now I have a great favor to ask of you.

Would you do me the honor of having supper with me tonight?

I don't think we can.

Oh, you have another engagement?

I'm afraid we have, yes.

Oh, father, you know we haven't.

Now, Edith, you remember what Mr. Myerson said.

Mr. Myerson?

Uh, what did Mr. Myerson say?

He said that you had to rest.

Oh. Oh, dear Mr. Myerson. Always trying to protect me.

I don't know what I shall do without him

when he leaves me on Saturday.

Oh, but I insist.

After all, I can always rest

but I can't always entertain the Premier of Quebec.

We accept with pleasure.

Though I feel it's rather an imposition.

I feel I should do something for you.

- Perhaps you can sometime. - I hope so.

- My land, how could you? - Oh, it's only a plate.

It's not one of your hotel plates. It's hers.

- What of it? - You'll have to tell her.

I won't. She's not gonna blame me for that.

- Oh, shut up your mouth! - 'Well, look what he's done.'

How can I cook with all this noise?

Why do you bother? She'll only find something wrong with it.

Hah! If she complains once more, I'm through.

Fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes to get supper for ten!

Susan, who has been at the music?

How should I know?

Her favorite song. I cannot find it.

I wouldn't touch a piece of her music

if my life depended on it.

- Who opened that window? - How should I know?

Shut it immediately.

You know how she is about drafts.

- Is she coming, Mrs. Roderick? - Yes. Oh! What is that?

One of her plates but I didn't do it.

Go away. Hide it in the kitchen.

Light those candles.

She wants champagne cocktails right away!

Mrs. Roderick, what kind of a mood is she in?

Mr. Myerson got his notice.

Her favorite song. Her favorite song.

Well, here we are.

Green, take the gentlemen's coats and hats, please.

- Good evening, Susan. - Good evening, madame.

Mr. Daniells, how nice of you to come.

Mr. Daniells plays for me. He's such a fine musician.

Do play something for us, Mr. Daniells.

- Your favorite song... - Play something.

Do you hear me?

Who'd think you'd find anything like this in a hotel?

Oh, it's perfectly lovely.

I never dreamed the hotel had a suite like this.

Oh, I'm so glad you like it. These are all my own things.
