" We pick up our assignments..." " l got mine last night." " What assignment was that?" " The princess, 1 1 .45." " You've already been to the interview?" " Sure, I just got back." " Well, well." "All my apologies." " lt's all right." " Interesting." " No, just routine." "Did she answer all the questions on the list?" "Of course. I've got them right here somewhere." "Don't disturb yourself, I have a copy here." "How did Her Highness react to the idea of a European Federation?" " She thought it was just fine." " She did?" " She thought there'd be two effects." " Two?" " The direct and the indirect." " Remarkable." "Naturally, she thought that the indirect would not be as direct as the direct." " That is, not right away." " No." "Later on, of course, nobody knows." "Well, well." "That was a shrewd observation." "They fool you, these royal kids." "They're smarter than we suspect." "How did she feel about the future friendship of nations?" "Youth." "She felt that the youth of the world must lead the way to a better world." "Original." "By the way, what was she wearing?" " You mean what did she have on?" " That's usually what it means." " ls it too warm for you?" " No, I just hurried over here." "Naturally, with a story of these dimensions." " Did you say she was wearing grey?" " No, I didn't." " She usually wears grey." " Well, it was a kind of a grey." "I think I know the dress, it has a gold collar..." "That's the one. I didn't know exactly how to describe it." "I think you described it very well, in view of the fact that she was taken violently ill at 3 am, put to bed with a high fever, and has had all her appointments for today cancelled in toto!" " ln toto?" " Yes, Mr Bradley, in toto." " Suddenly hard to swallow." " ln view of the fact you just left her." "Here it is, Mr Bradley, all over the front page of every paper in Rome." "All right, I overslept." "It can happen to anybody." "If you ever got up and read a morning paper, you might discover little news events, little items of general interest, that might stop you getting immersed in such a gold-plated, triple-decked, star-spangled lie as you have just told me." "If I were you I'd try some other business, like mattress testing!" " ls this the princess?" " Yes, Mr Bradley." "It isn't Annie Oakley, Dorothy Lamour or Madame Chiang Kai-Shek." "Take a good look." "You might interview her again some day." "Am I fired?" "No." "When I want to fire you, you won't have to ask." "You'll know you're fired." "The man's mad." "Giovanni, it's Joe Bradley." "Now listen carefully." "Hurry up to my place and see if there's somebody there, asleep." "Aha." "Sì, Mr Joe." "I look, you wait." " Mr Joe?" " Yeah." "Tell me." "Bellissima." "Giovanni, I love you!" "Now listen." "Yes, Mr Joe." "A gun?" "No." "Yes, a gun, a knife, anything." "But nobody goes in and nobody goes out." "OK." "You still here?" "What would a real interview with this dame be worth?" " Are you referring to Her Highness?" " l'm not referring to Annie Oakley..." " How much?" " What do you care?" " You've got no chance..." " lf l did, how much?" "Just a plain talk on world conditions might be worth 250." "Her views on clothes, a lot more." " Maybe 1 ,000." " Dollars?" "I'm talking about her views on everything." "The private and secret longings of a princess." "Her innermost thoughts, as revealed to your own correspondent, in a private, personal, exclusive interview." "Can't use it, huh?" "I didn't think you'd like it." "Come here." " Love angle too, I suppose?" " Practically all love angle." " With pictures?" " Could be." "How much?" "That particular story would be worth five grand to any news service." "But tell me, Mr Bradley, if you are sober, how you are going to obtain this fantastic interview." "I'll enter her sick room disguised as a thermometer." "You said five grand?" "I want you to shake on that." "You realise she's in bed and leaves for Athens tomorrow?" " Yes." " l'd like to make a little side bet." "500 says you don't come up with the story." " What are you looking at that for?" " Just want to see what day it is." " lt's a deal." " Now I'd like you to shake." "You're into me for about $500 now." "When you lose this bet, you'll owe me $1 ,000." "You poor sucker, I'll practically own you." "You practically have for a couple of years but that's all over." "I'm going to win that money and buy a one-way ticket back to New York." "Go on, I love to hear you whine." "When I'm back in a real newsroom, I'll think of you, sitting here with an empty leash and nobody to twitch for you." "So long, pigeon." " Signor Bradley." " Everything OK, Giovanni?" "Sì SignorJoe." "Nobody come, nobody go." " Absolutely nobody." " Swell, thanks a lot." "Giovanni..." "How'd you like to make some money?" " Money?" " Yeah." "That's the stuff. I've got a sure thing." " Double your money back in two days." " Double my money?" "I need a little investment capital to swing the deal." "Now if you'll lend me a little cash..." "You owe me two months' rent and you want me to lend you money?" "No." "Tomorrow you'll be sorry." "Your Highness...?" "Your Royal Highness...?" "Yes, what is it?" "Dear Dr Bannochhoven..." "Oh, sure, yes, well..." "You're fine, much better." "is there anything you want?" "So many things." "Yes?" "Well, tell the doctor." "Tell the good doctor everything." "I dreamt and I dreamt..." "Yes?" "Well, what did you dream?" "I dreamt I was asleep in the street, and a young man came, he was tall and strong." "He was so mean to me." "He was?" "It was wonderful." "Good morning." "Where's Dr Bannochhoven?" "I'm afraid I don't know him." "Wasn't I talking to him just now?" "Afraid not." "Have I had an accident?" "No." "Quite safe for me to sit up, huh?" "Perfectly." "Thank you." "Are these yours?" " Did you lose something?" " No." "Would you be so kind as to tell me where l am?" "This is what is laughingly known as my apartment." " Did you bring me here by force?" " No." "Quite the contrary." " Have I been here all night...alone?" " lf you don't count me, yes." "So I've spent the night here with you?" "Well, I don't know that I'd use those words exactly, but from a certain angle, yes." " How do you do?" " How do you do?" " And you are?" " Bradley, Joe Bradley." " Delighted." " You don't know how delighted I am." " You may sit down." " Thank you very much." "What's your name?" " You may call me Anya." " Well thank you, Anya." " Coffee?" " What time is it?" " About 1 .30 pm." " 1 .30!" "I must get dressed and go!" "Why the hurry?" "There's lots of time." "No, there isn't, and I've been enough trouble as it is." "Trouble?" "You're not what I'd call trouble." " l'm not?" " l'll run a bath for you." "There you are." "Here we go now." "There you are, that does it." "All right." "Give me a little slack, will you?" "Irving!" "Why don't you answer?" "It's Joe." "Can you get here in five minutes?" "No, I can't come now, Joe, I'm busy." "Oh, no." "Joe, I'm up to my ears in work." "Get into your next outfit." "The canoe." " What kind of a scoop, Joe?" " l can't talk over the phone." "This whole thing might easily blow sky-high." "It's front-page stuff, that's all I can say." "It might be political or a scandal, I don't know, but it's a big story." "I need pictures." "But I can't come now, Joe, I'm busy." "And I'm meeting Francesca at Rocca's in half an hour." " Don't understand." " Don't understand?" "There you are." "I was looking at all the people." "It must be fun to live in a place like this." "It has its moments. I can give you a commentary on each apartment." "I must go." " l only waited to say goodbye." " Goodbye?" "But we've only just met!" " How about breakfast?" " l haven't time." "It must be a pretty important date to run off without eating." " lt is." " l'll go with you." "That's all right, I can find the place." "Thank you for letting me sleep in your bed." " That's all right." "Think nothing of it." " lt was very considerate of you." "You must've been awfully uncomfortable on that couch." "No, I do it all the time." " Goodbye, Mr Bradley." " Goodbye." "Go right through there, and down all the steps." "Thank you." " Well..." "Small world!" " Yeah." "I almost forgot." "Can you lend me some money?" "Oh, yeah." "That's right, you didn't have any, did you?" "How much was it you wanted?" "I don't know." "How much have you got?" "Suppose we just split this fifty-fifty." "Here's a thousand lire." "A thousand!" "Can you really spare all that?" "It's about a dollar and a half." "I'll arrange for it to be sent back to you." "What is your address?" "Via Margutta 51 ." "Via Margutta 51 ." "Joe Bradley." "Goodbye." "Thank you." "Double my money, eh?" "You tell me how?" " Tomorrow." " Yes, tomorrow." "What a wonderful hair you have." " Just cut, thank you." " Just cut?" " Well, then..." "Cut so?" " Higher." " Higher?" "Here?" " More." " Here!" " Even more." "Where?" " There." " There." " Are you sure, Miss?" " l'm quite sure, thank you." " All off?" " All off." "Off!" " Are you sure?" " Yes!" "Yes!" "Off!" "Off!" "Off!" "Oh no, no." "Off!" "That's a nice camera you have there." "Nice..." "You don't mind if I borrow it?" " Miss Webber." " Just for two minutes." "No." "Go, it's my camera." "You musician, maybe?" "You artist?" "Painter?" "I know." "You model." " Model?" " Thank you." "It's perfect." "You're nice without long hair." "Now it's cool." "Cool." "It's just what I wanted." "Now, why don't you come dancing tonight with me?" "You should see, it's so nice." "It's on a boat, on the Tiber, the river, by Sant'Angelo." "Moonlight, music, romantic." "It's very, very..." " Please, you come?" " l wish I could." "But your friends, I don't think they'll recognise you." "No, I don't think they will." " Thank you very much." " Thank you." "After nine I'll be there, dancing on the river." "Remember Sant'Angelo." "All my friends..." "If you come, you will be most pretty of all girls." " Thank you." "Goodbye." " Goodbye." "Thank you." "A thousand lire." " No money." " No?" "I'm sorry, I've really no money." "Look." "I'm sorry." " Well, it's you!" " Yes, Mr Bradley." "Or is it?" " Do you like it?" " Very much." "So that was your mysterious appointment." " l have a confession to make." " A confession?" "Yes, I ran away last night...from school." "Why?" " Trouble with the teacher?" " No, nothing like that." "You wouldn't run away for nothing." "It was only meant to be for a few hours." "They gave me something last night to make me sleep." "I see." " l'd better get a taxi and go back." " Look, before you do, why not take a little time for yourself?" "Maybe another hour." "Live dangerously, take the whole day." "I could do some things I've always wanted to." "Like what?" "You can't imagine. I'd like to do whatever I liked, the whole day long." "Like having your hair cut and eating gelati?" "Yes, and I'd like to sit at a sidewalk café, look in shop windows, walk in the rain." "Have fun, and maybe some excitement." "It doesn't seem much to you, does it?" "It's great." "Tell you what." "Why don't we do all those things?" "Together." " Don't you have to work?" " No." "Today will be a holiday." "You don't want to do a lot of silly things." "Don't I?" "First wish, one sidewalk café." "Coming right up." "I know just the place." "What will they say in school about your hair?" "They'll have a fit." "What would they say if they knew I'd slept in your room?" "Tell you what, you don't tell your folks and I won't tell mine." "It's a pact." " Now, what would you like to drink?" " Champagne, please." "Champagne?" "Well, champagne, and cold coffee for me." "Must be quite a school, champagne for lunch." " Only on special occasions." " For instance?" "The last time was my father's anniversary." " Wedding?" " No." "The 40th anniversary of...the day he got his job." "40 years on the job." "What do you know about that?" "What does he do?" "Well, mostly you might call it public relations." "Oh, well that's hard work." " l wouldn't care for it." " Does he?" "I've heard him complain about it." "Why doesn't he quit?" "People in that line of work almost never do quit, unless it's actually unhealthy for them to continue." "Well, here's to his health then." "You know, that's what everybody says." " lt's all right?" " Yes, thank you." "What is your work?" "Oh, I'm in the selling game." "Really?" "How interesting." "What do you sell?" "Fertiliser." "Chemicals, stuff like that." " Irving!" "Am I glad to see you!" " Why, did you forget your wallet?" " Sit down." " Aren't you going to introduce me?" "Yes." "This is a very good friend of mine, Irving Radovich." "Anya, Irving." " Anya...?" " Smith." " Oh." "Hiya, Smitty." " Charmed." "Hey, did anybody ever tell you you're a dead ringer for..." " Well, I guess I'll be going." " No, don't do that, join us." "Well, just till Francesca gets here." "Tell me, Mr Radovich, what is a ringer?" " Waiter!" " lt's an American term." "It means anyone who has a great deal of charm." "Oh, thank you." "You're welcome." "Cousins." "Mr Bradley's just been telling me all about his work." " l'd like to have heard that." " What do you do?" "I'm in the same racket as Joe, only I'm a... I'm awfully sorry, Irving." " What are you...?" " l'm sorry." "I can take a hint. I'll see you around." " But your drink's just here." " Yeah, Irving, take it easy." "I'm sorry about that." "Sit down, that's a good fellow." "That's the boy." "You're..." "You're twisting my arm, you know." "Just be a little more careful not to spill." " Spill?" "Who's been spilling?" " You." " Me?" " Yeah." "Where did you find this loony?" "You're OK." "Here's to you." "Here's hoping for the best." "If it wasn't for that hair, I'd swear that you..." "Thanks." "You slipped, you almost hurt yourself." " l slipped?" " Yes, you did." " l didn't slip." " A bad sprain..." " Never mind!" " You'd better get it fixed up." " Would you excuse us?" " Of course, I'm so sorry." "Joe, what are you trying to do?" "Take your hands off me." " Got your lighter?" " What?" " Have you?" " Yeah." "Listen, what would you do for five grand?" " Five grand?" " Look..." "She doesn't know who I am." " This is my story. I've got to protect it." " She's really the..." "Your pictures will make this twice as valuable." " "The princess goes slumming."" " You're in for 25°/." " Of $5,000?" " Minimum, Hennessy shook on it." " That's $1 ,500!" " lt's $1 ,250." " Now you shake." " OK, now lend me 30,000." "That's $50!" "Are you gonna buy the crown jewels?" "She's drinking champagne." "We have to entertain her." "We can't go running around with a hot princess!" "Do you want in on this deal or don't you?" " This I want back Saturday." " OK." "Now where's your lighter?" "Let's go to work." " Better now?" " Huh?" " Your ear." " My ear?" "Yeah, Joe fixed it." " Would you like a cigarette?" " Yes, please." "You won't believe it, but it's my very first." "Your very first?" " No smoking in school?" " Your first cigarette." "There, the gismo works." "Well, what's the verdict, OK?" " Nothing to it." " That's right, nothing to it." "I'll stretch my legs a little." " l'll pick this one up, Irving." " You can afford it." "What next?" "Shall we make a little schedule?" "Not that word, please." "I didn't mean a work schedule..." "a school schedule," " l meant a fun schedule." " Let's just go." "How about you, Irving, are you ready?" " Yeah." " Let's go." "Francesca." "Oh, this is..." " Smitty." " She's a grand girl, Irving." "Five grand." " Joe!" " Where are you going?" "Honey, I gotta work." "I'll call you tonight." "Look at those men!" "They were supposed to be inconspicuous." "You asked for plain clothes." "Hey, come back." "I'm going straight from now on." "News Service?" "What did he mean?" "You say you're with the press and you can get away with anything." "Going to church to get married on a scooter!" "Joe's a wonderful liar." "Congratulations!" "Don't look so worried, I won't hold you to it." "Thank you very much." " Don't be too grateful." " OK, I won't." "I'm a good liar too, aren't I?" " The best I ever met." " Thank you very much." "Say..." "Come with me." "The Mouth of Truth." "The legend is, if you're a liar and you put your hand in there, it'll be bitten off." " What a horrid idea." " Let's see you do it." "Let's see you do it." "Sure." "Hello!" " You beast, it was all right!" " l'm sorry. lt was just a joke." " You never hurt your hand." " l'm sorry." " OK?" " Yes." "All right, let's go." "Look out!" "I'll park at the corner." "What do they mean, all these inscriptions?" "Each one represents a wish fulfilled." "It started during the war, in an air raid." "A man with his four children was caught in the street." "He ran to that wall for shelter and prayed." "Bombs fell very close but no one was hurt." "Later, he came back and put up the first tablet." "Now it's a sort of shrine." "People come, and when their wishes are granted, they put up another plaque." "Lovely story." "Read some of the inscriptions." "Make a wish?" "Tell the doctor?" "Anyway, the chances of it being granted are very slight." "Well, what now?" "I've heard you can dance on a boat." " You mean Sant'Angelo." " Couldn't we go tonight?" " Why not?" " Anything you wish." "At midnight I'll turn into a pumpkin and drive away in my glass slipper." "That'll be the end of the fairytale." " l guess Irving has to go now." " l do?"

"Hello." "Hello." "Mr Bradley, if you don't mind my saying so, I think you're a ringer." "A what?" "Oh, thanks very much." "You've spent the whole day doing things I've always wanted to." " Why?" " lt seemed the thing to do." "I've never heard of anybody so kind." "It wasn't any trouble." "Or so completely unselfish." "Let's have a drink at the bar." "There you are." "I look for you a long time." "I think maybe you not come." " Off, all off!" " lt's nice without, isn't it?" "Cool." " Very good." " This is Mr Bradley." "I Mario Delani." " Old friends?" " Yes, he cut my hair." "He invited me here tonight." " What was your name?" " Mario Delani." "Mario Delani." "I'm very glad to know you." "Me too." "Oh, may I enjoy myself the pleasure?" " You mind?" " Go right ahead." "I thank you." " Did I miss anything?" " You're just in time." " Who's Smitty dancing with?" " Her barber." "He cut her hair this afternoon, made a date for tonight." ""The princess and the barber?"" " What is it?" " Momento." "August!" "Thank you." "Bye." "Your Highness." "Dance quietly towards the entrance." "A car is waiting." " No." " Your Highness!" "You've made a mistake." "Let me go!" "Will you let me go?" "Mr Bradley!" "Let me go, will you!" "Mr Bradley!" "Hit him again, Smitty!" " Here are my car keys." " Police!" "The other side of the bridge." " All right?" " Fine, you?" "Oh, fine." "You were great back there." "You weren't so bad yourself." "I... I guess we'd better get out of here." "This is the American Hour, continuing our programme of musical selections." " Everything ruined?" " No." "They'll be dry in a minute." "Suits you." "You should always wear my clothes." "Seems I do." "I thought a little wine might be good." " Shall I cook something?" " No kitchen." " l always eat out." " Do you like that?" "Well, life isn't always what one likes." " ls it?" " No, it isn't." " Tired?" " A little." " You've had quite a day." " A wonderful day." "This is the American Hour with a special news bulletin." "There is no further word from the bedside of Princess Ann, who was taken ill yesterday on the last leg of her European tour." "Rumours suggest her condition may be serious, causing alarm and anxiety among the people in her country." " The news can wait." " Yes." "May I have a little more wine?" "I'm sorry I couldn't cook us some dinner." "Did you learn how in school?" "I'm a good cook." "I could earn my living at it." "I can sew too, clean a house, iron." "I learned to do all those things, I just haven't had the chance to do it for anyone." "Well, looks like I'll have to move and get a place with a kitchen." "Yes." "I shall have to go now." "Anya there's something I want to tell you." "No, please." "Nothing." "I must go and get dressed." "Stop at the next corner, please." "OK." " Here?" " Yes." "I have to leave you now."

"I don't know how to say goodbye." "I can't think of any words." "Don't try." "Your Royal Highness, 24 hours, they can't all be blank." "They are not." "What explanation am I to offer Their Majesties?" "I was indisposed. I am better." "Ma'am, you must appreciate that I have my duty to perform, just as Your Royal Highness has her duty." "Your Excellency, I trust you will not find it necessary to use that word again." "Were I not completely aware of my duty to my family and my country, I would not have come back tonight." "Or indeed, ever again." "And now, since I understand we have a very full schedule today, you have my permission to withdraw." "No milk and crackers." "That will be all thank you, Countess."

I know too much." "First you ask about an exclusive on the princess, next you disappear." "Then I hear a rumour from the embassy that she's out on the town." "Do you believe every rumour that comes your way?" "There's a lot of other rumours." "About a shindig down by the river, and the arrest of eight secret service men from a certain country." "Then she makes a miraculous recovery." "It all adds up." "Don't think you'll raise the price, a deal's a deal." "Now come on." " Where is that story?" " l have no story." " Now what was the idea..." " Joe!" " Wait till you see these." " Irving." "Hi, Mr Hennessy." "Irving!" " What's the idea?" " You charge in, spilling things!" " Me?" " l warned you before." " Remember?" " Look at my pants."

" Why don't you go home and shave?" " Shave?" "Or else keep quiet till we're finished talking." "What kind of routine is that?" "What are you up to?" "Who's Smitty?" " A guy we met." " What is there to look at?" "Just some of Irving's dames." "You wouldn't like them." " Maybe you would." " Don't change the subject." " Yesterday you said..." " l had a good lead." "But I was wrong, that's all there is to it." "There is no story." "OK." "She's holding the press interview today." "Maybe you can get that story." "And you owe me $500." " Take it from my salary, $50 a week." " Don't think I won't." "What gives?" "Have we had a better offer?" "Irving... I don't know just how to tell you this, but..." "Wait till I sit down." "Well, in regard to the story that goes with these, there is no story." "Why not?" "I mean, not as far as I'm concerned." "The pictures came out pretty well." "Want to have a look at them?"

"And what, in the opinion of Your Highness, is the outlook for friendship among nations?" "I have every faith in it as I have faith in relations between people." "May I say, speaking for my own press service we believe that Your Highness's faith will not be unjustified." "I am so glad to hear you say it." "Which of the cities visited did Your Highness enjoy the most?" "Each in its own way was unforgettable." "It would be difficult to..." "Rome!" "By all means, Rome."
