"[Sabrina] Once upon a time, on the north shore of Long Island, some 30 miles from New York, there lived a small girl on a large estate." "The estate was very large indeed and had many servants." "There were gardeners to take care of the gardens and a tree surgeon on a retainer." "There was a boatman to take care of the boats, to put them in the water in the spring and scrape their bottoms in the winter." "There were specialists to take care of the grounds... the outdoor tennis court and the indoor tennis court, the outdoor swimming pool and the indoor swimming pool." "And there was a man of no particular title who took care of the small pool in the garden for a goldfish named George." "Also on the estate, there was a chauffeur by the name of Fairchild, who had been imported from England years ago together with a new Rolls-Royce." "Fairchild was a fine chauffeur of considerable polish, like the eight cars in his care." "And he had a daughter by the name of Sabrina." "It was the eve of the annual 6-meter yacht races, and, as had been traditional on Long Island for the past 30 years, the Larrabees were giving a party." "It never rained on the night of the Larrabee party." "The Larrabees wouldn't have stood for it." "There were four Larrabees in all... father, mother, and two sons." "Maude and Oliver Larrabee were married in 1906, and among their many wedding presents was the town house in New York and this estate for weekends." "The town house has since been converted into Saks Fifth Avenue." "Linus Larrabee, the elder son, graduated from Yale, where his classmates voted him the man most likely to leave his alma mater $50 million." "His brother David went through several of the best eastern colleges for short periods of time and through several marriages for even shorter periods of time." "He is now a successful six-goal polo player and is listed on Linus' tax return as a $600 deduction." "Life was pleasant among the Larrabees, for this was as close to heaven as one could get on Long Island."

"She was the best cook on Long Island." "I'm not telling you you have to be a cook as she was or that I want you to marry a chauffeur, but you know how I feel." "Your mother and I had a good life together." "We were respected by everyone." "That's as much as anyone can want." "Don't reach for the moon, child." "No, Father." "It never hurt a young girl to learn how to cook." "I'll wake you at 7:00." "The boat goes at noon." "Good night." "Good night." "# Isn't it romantic?"

"Come on out of there." "Hello." "What are you doing here?" "Just checking the spark plugs." "What?" "Father was worried 'cause one of the spark plugs was missing." "I wanted to find out which one it was." "So you started all the motors and closed all the doors?" "I didn't want to disturb anyone." "You might never have disturbed anyone again." "Does your father know?" "No." "I wanted to surprise him." "[Coughs]" "You'd better get out of here." "Here, now." "Now, breathe deep." "That's right." "Now deeper." "Mmm." "What happened?"

"Gretchen's mother?" "Uh-huh." "Why doesn't she drive her home?" "Because we can't find Gretchen." "She..." "She what?" "Nothing." "All right." "The next time you start a car, leave the garage doors open, you understand?" "You'd think a chauffeur's daughter would know better." "Yes, sir." "Bonjour, mesdames et messieurs." "Yesterday we have learned the correct way how to boil water." "Today we will learn the correct way how to crack an egg." "Voila." "An egg." "Now, an egg is not a stone." "It is not made of wood." "It is a living thing." "It has a heart." "So when we crack it, we must not torment it." "We must be merciful and execute it quickly, like with the guillotine." "Crack!" "It is done with one hand." "Kindly watch the wrist." "Voila." "1, 2, 3, crack!" "You see?" "It is all in the wrist." "And now, everybody, take an egg." "1, 2, 3, crack!" "New egg." "1, 2, 3, crack!" "New egg." "1, 2, 3, crack!" "New egg." "1, 2, 3, crack!" "Take an egg." "Crack!" "The wrist." "Hmm?" "Like a whip." "You watch." "1, 2, 3, crack!" "New egg." "1, 2, 3, crack!" "New egg." "1, 2, 3, crack!" "New egg." "1, 2..." ""Dear Father... or cher Papa, as we say over here... isn't my French getting good?" "We finally finished our four-week course in sauces." "I thought soups were tough, but sauces just about killed me." "I almost flunked my hollandaise." "It kept separating on me."" "Too much vinegar." "Does she mention David?" "[Buzzer]" "It's Mr. Linus." "He's ready to go into town." "What about David?" "What does she say?" "Not a word." "That's good." "Here's something." ""I don't think of David very much anymore."" "That's good." ""Except at night."" "That's bad." ""I decided to be sensible and tore up David's picture."" "That's good." ""Please air-mail me some Scotch tape."" "That's bad." "Good morning, Fairchild." "Good morning, sir." "A beautiful day, sir." "Take the parkway, two windows open, 35 miles an hour." "Yes, sir." "[Tires Screech]" "Morning, Linus." "Where are you off to?" "The office." "Where do you think?" "The office?" "On Sunday?" "Today is Wednesday." "Wednesday?" "This is KL 7-5263." "Get me Bowling Green 9-1099." "Good morning, Miss McCardle." "How did the market open?" "Industrials, 247.63, up $ 1.10." "Rails, 94.7, up 58 cents." "Utilities, 47.23, off 11 cents." "I'm just leaving the house." "You can put the coffee on in 45 minutes." "Interoffice memo, Linus Larrabee to David Larrabee." "Dear David, this is to remind you you're a junior partner of Larrabee Industries." "Our building is located at 30 Broad Street, New York City." "Your office is on the 22nd floor." "Our normal week is Monday through Friday." "Our working day is 9:00 to 5:00." "Should you find this inconvenient, you're free to retire under the Larrabee pension plan." "Having been with us one year, you're entitled to 65 cents a month for the rest of your life." "What do you hear from your daughter, Fairchild?" "She still loves him." "I beg your pardon?" "I mean she loves the cooking school, sir." "But she'll get over it." "And now, mesdames et messieurs, soon we will see how you have learned the lesson of the soufflé." "The soufflé, it must be... gay." "Gay!" "Like, uh, like two butterflies dancing the waltz in the summer breeze." "(sing) Tra la la la (sing)" "Very well." "You have 5 seconds, 4 seconds," "3 seconds, 2 seconds," "1 second!" "To the ovens!" "Too low." "Too pale." "Too heavy." "Too low." "Too high." "You are exaggerating." "Fair." "So-so." "Sloppy." "Mmm." "Superb!" "My dear Baron, you have not lost your touch." "Much too low." "I don't know what happened." "I will tell you what happened." "You forgot to turn on the oven." "Oh!" "I've been watching you for a long time." "Your mind has not been on the cooking." "It has been elsewhere." "You're in love." "I will venture to go a step further." "You are unhappily in love." "Does it show?" "Very clearly." "A woman happily in love, she burns the soufflé." "A woman unhappily in love, she forgets to turn on the oven." "Am I correct?" "Yes." "But I'm trying to get over it." "Why try to get over it?" "You speak of love like it was a bad cough." "He doesn't even know I exist." "I might as well be reaching for the moon." "The moon?" "Ha ha ha." "Ah, you young people, you are so old-fashioned." "Have you not heard?" "We are building rockets to reach the moon." "To begin with, you must stop looking like a horse." "Horse?" ""His name is the Baron Saint Fontenelle."" "Baron?" ""He came to the cooking school to take a refresher course in soufflés and liked me so much, he decided to stay on for the fish."" "What does she say about David?" "David?" "She's got a baron." ""The baron is 74 years old."" "Ohh." "Ohh." ""And very sweet and very wise." "He has a box at the opera, a racing stable, wonderful paintings, and his own vineyards." "Tomorrow night he is taking me to a very fashionable charity ball, and I have an evening dress just for the occasion." "If David could only see me in it... yards of skirt and way off the shoulders."" "Shh!" "Good morning, sir." "Morning." "What's going on here?" "A letter from Sabrina, sir." "Oh." "Wouldn't you like to read it?" "There's something about you in it." "[Engine Starts]" "[Tires Screech]" "Poor Sabrina." "What's the matter with him anyway?" "He's getting married again." "He is?" "Mm-hmm." "Number four." "Who says so?" "Cholly Knickerbocker." "Don't you people ever read the society columns?" "[Tires Screech]" "[Typing]" "Is he in?" "Is my brother in?" "Yes, but he's very busy." "I want to see him." "Well, how about 3:30?" "Now!" "I'm sorry, Mr. David." "I have my orders." "He's working on the plastics deal." "Miss McCardle, press that button, or I'll use you as a battering ram." "Mr. David!" "Make up your mind." "Linus, I want to talk to you." "Ask Miss McCardle for an appointment." "Don't give me that appointment business." "I'm mad!" "I'm really steamed!" "All right, gentlemen, I'll be 10 minutes." "Now, what's the trouble?" "How did this get in the paper?" "What?" ""It looks like wedding bells for David Larrabee again." "The girl is Elizabeth Tyson."" "Congratulations." "Did you plant this?" "Me?" "I thought it was common knowledge about you and Elizabeth Tyson." "You like her, don't you?" "I like her a lot." "I like a lot of girls a lot." "You can say that again." "What are you going to do with that gun?" "Put that thing away, Linus." "Look at that." "Greatest plastic ever made." "Not a scratch on it." "Say, I wonder how this would stand up against a bazooka." "Miss McCardle, get General Stanton and ask if we can borrow a bazooka." "Yes, Mr. Larrabee." "Back to my problem, if you don't mind." "Lend me your lighter." "I have no intention of marrying Elizabeth Tyson." "Doesn't burn." "Doesn't scorch." "Doesn't melt." "How about that?" "Look, Linus, I've been married before." "I've had it." "I've had it three times." "But this is the first time the family approves because you're going to do something constructive." "Taste it." "What's so constructive about marrying Elizabeth Tyson?" "Taste it." "It's sweet." "That's right." "It's made of sugar cane." "Sugar cane." "This wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that the Tysons own the largest holdings of sugar cane in Puerto Rico, would it?" "Second-largest." "The largest have no daughter." "It's all beginning to make sense." "Mr. Tyson owns the sugar cane, you own the formula for the plastics, and I'm being offered up as a human sacrifice on the altar of industrial progress." "You make it sound so vulgar, as if the son of the hot dog dynasty were being offered in marriage to the daughter of the mustard king." "Surely you don't object to Elizabeth just because her father has $20 million." "Just one thing you overlooked..." "I haven't proposed, and she hasn't accepted." "Oh, don't worry." "I proposed, and Mr. Tyson accepted." "Did you kiss him?" "Elizabeth is one of the loveliest girls around." "Sooner or later you were going to propose anyway." "I'm helping you make up your mind." "Then why don't you marry her?" "Me?" "What's so funny?" "You want to die an old maid?" "If I ever got married, I'd have to take a dictaphone, two secretaries, and four corporation counselors along on the honeymoon." "I'd be unfaithful to my wife every night with vice presidents, boards of directors, slide rule accountants." "This..." "This is my home." "No wife would ever understand it." "Well, neither can I." "You've got all the money in the world." "What's money got to do with it?" "If money were all there was, it'd hardly be worthwhile going to the office." "What's the main objective, power?" "Ah, that's become a dirty word." "Well, then, what's the urge?" "You're going into plastics now." "What will that prove?" "Prove?" "Nothing much." "A new product has been found, something of use to the world, and so a new industry moves into an undeveloped area." "Factories go up, machines are brought in, a harbor is dug, and you're in business." "It's purely coincidental that people who never saw a dime before suddenly have a dollar and barefooted kids wear shoes and have their teeth fixed." "What's wrong with an urge that gives people libraries, hospitals, baseball diamonds, and movies on a Saturday night?" "Miss McCardle, will you send in the secretaries?" "Yes, Mr. Larrabee." "You make me feel like a heel." "If I don't marry Elizabeth, some kid's going to be running around with cavities in his teeth." "Look at this stuff." "You'll fly in a plane made of it, and before we're through with it, you'll probably be able to eat it." "We're organizing Larrabee Plastics." "Larrabee Shipping has bought nine freighters to handle the traffic." "You mean the wheels are in motion already?" "That's exactly what I mean." "Would you mind demonstrating the weight test to Mr. David, please?" "I'll take your word for it." "Up you go." "Now, wait a minute." "I want you to see how resilient it is." "Bounce, please, ladies." "Some plastic, eh?" "We're planning a summer wedding so we can get in on this year's sugar crop." "Yeah." "I think you're going to be very happy, David." "Dearest Father, we shall be graduating next week, and I shall be getting my diploma." "I want to thank you now for the two most wonderful years of my life." "I shall always love you for sending me here." "[La Vie En Rose Playing]" "It is late at night, and someone across the way is playing La Vie En Rose." "It is the French way of saying," ""I am looking at the world through rose-colored glasses,"" "and it says everything I feel." "I have learned so many things, Father... not just how to make vichyssoise or calf' head with sauce vinaigrette, but a much more important recipe." "I have learned how to live, how to be in the world and of the world... and not just to stand aside and watch." "And I will never, never again run away from life or from love, either." "I am taking the plane home on Friday, Father." "You needn't pick me up at the airport." "I'll just take the Long Island Railroad, and you can meet me at the train... the 4:15." "If you should have any difficulty recognizing your daughter," "I shall be the most sophisticated woman at the Glen Cove Station." "[Train Whistle Blows]" "[Whistling Isn't It Romantic?" "]" "[Tires Screech]" "Taxi, miss?" "Cheapest rates in Glen Cove." "Well, hello." "How are you?" "Well, I'm fine." "How are you?" "And, I might add, who are you?" "Who am I?" "Am I supposed to know?" "Come to think of it, no, you're not supposed to know." "Are you stranded?" "My father was supposed to pick me up." "Whoever your father is, I'll be eternally grateful if I can give you a lift." "You certainly can." "You can drive me home." "Good." "I'll get your bags." "Where do you live?" "Dosoris Lane." "Dosoris Lane?" "Say, that's where I live." "Really?" "Sure." "We must be neighbors." "And if there's one thing I believe in, it's "love thy neighbor."" "Oh, so do I." "Come on, David." "David?" "Is his name David?" "Yes, it is." "That's funny." "My name's David, too." "That is funny, isn't it?" "[Dog Whimpers]" "Are you sure you don't want to tell me your name?" "Positive." "I'm having much too much fun." "All right, if you want to play games, have you always lived here in Long Island?" "Most of my life." "I thought I knew every pretty girl on the north shore." "I thought you took in more territory than that." "This is maddening." "I know I've seen that face before." "Let me see your profile again." "I know I know you." "I have a feeling I've seen you... with your father." "Wait." "Is your father Admiral Starratt?" "Hardly." "It's funny." "I keep seeing him in a uniform." "Oh, come on, give us a hint." "What does your father do?" "He's in transportation." "Transportation?" "Railroads." "New York Central." "No." "Planes." "TWA." "No." "Boats." "United States Lines." "No." "I pass." "Automobiles." "Oh?" "Chrysler." "Yes, Chrysler and Ford and General Motors and Rolls-Royce." "Is your father on the board of directors of all those companies?" "Well, you might say he runs things." "I bet my brother Linus knows him." "He certainly does." "They quite often drive into town together." "They do?" "Straight through to the garage, please." "I feel so stupid, I could kill myself." "You'll be all right in a minute." "Here we are." "I'm not just pulling that old line of "haven't we met somewhere before?"" "We have met some..." "You don't live here." "Yes, I do." "I live here." "Hi, neighbor." "[Honks Horn]" "Sabrina!" "Sabrina!" "Sabrina." "Oh, Brina, Brina." "Hello, Margaret." "It's so good to be home." "You're such a lady." "You've come home such a beautiful lady." "Oh, welcome home, Sabrina." "Ernest, Jenny, how are you?" "Don't cry, Margaret." "It's nothing to cry about." "I brought you a hat, Margaret." "A real Paris hat for you to wear to church on Sundays." "And, Jenny, I've got something for you." "Father!" "Oh!" "I'm sorry I missed you, Sabrina, but I had to take Mrs. Larrabee to the hairdresser." "It doesn't matter." "It doesn't matter." "Well, I wouldn't have recognized you anyway." "Well, David had a little trouble, didn't you, David?" "Yes... yes, I did." "I'll put some coffee on." "Will you come to the kitchen?" "As soon as I've opened my bags." "Let's get them out of the car." "Look, as old neighbors," "I think we should have a reunion." "It's only fair." "How about tonight?" "Do you really want to see me?" "Very much." "All right." "We'll go out on the town." "We'll drive to New York, have a quick drink at the Stork, then go somewhere for dinner." "I know a wonderful French restaurant." "I... guess you wouldn't think much of it after Paris." "I'll love it." "Then we'll go dancing, and when they throw us out, we'll mosey on down to the village." "You like Dixieland bands?" "Yes." "I know the greatest." "It's..." "Wait a minute." "I forgot." "We're having a party at the house tonight." "With an orchestra and dancing?" "Yes." "That'll be even more fun." "I don't know." "Dull people around." "I don't mind as long as you're there." "Sabrina." "In a minute, Father." "And I have a lovely evening dress." "Shall I wear it?" "Why, yes, of course." "Oh, David, this couldn't be nicer." "A homecoming party." "I'll..." "I'll get the dress out and press it." "See you tonight." "Hello, Linus." "I'm back." "It's Sabrina." "Isn't it amazing?" "Would you have recognized her, that scrawny little kid who whipped around corners every time she saw us coming, her knees always painted with Mercurochrome?" "How do you like those legs now?" "David." "Aren't they something?" "David!" "The last pair of legs that were something cost the family $25,000." "Look what I brought you from Paris." "I know I should have mentioned it." "Here we are." "Do you like it?" "But I didn't want to upset you." "And here." "Aren't they gaudy?" "Sabrina, David is engaged." "He's getting married again." "I know." "Margaret wrote me." "Real Napoleon brandy." "Wear this on your day off." "Then you don't care?" "Not too much." "After all, he's not married yet." "I don't like the sound of that." "Don't you see?" "Everything has changed." "Nothing has changed." "He's still David Larrabee, and you're still the chauffeur's daughter, and you're still reaching for the moon." "No, Father." "The moon's reaching for me." "[Music Playing]" "I wish the wedding were tomorrow, David." "Don't you?" "Yes, dear." "Ten more days." "It'll seem more like ten years." "Yes, dear." "Father planned for us to fly to Honolulu right after the reception, but I said definitely not." "I don't want to spend the first 18 hours of my honeymoon in a plane, sitting up, do you?" "Yes, dear." "David!" "What?" "I mean no." "What did you say?" "Darling, aren't you interested?" "Of course, dear." "Aren't they a sweet couple?" "Charming." "Elizabeth's a lovely girl." "I wish young men would stop wearing white jackets in the evening." "They look like barbers." "Now, Oliver." "My throat's dry." "Have you been smoking?" "I stopped smoking three months ago." "I find it sad that after 48 years of marriage, distrust should creep into our relationship." "I'll join the men in the library." "David." "Hmm?" "I ought to have a talk with your chauffeur." "Our chauffeur?" "What for?" "Father wants to give me either a Bentley or a Mercedes as a present, and I thought your chauffeur would tell me..." "Sure." "Sure." "Of course." "What's his name?" "Sabrina." "L..." "I mean Fairchild." "I'll talk to him, Elizabeth." "Don't bother." "All right, darling." "I know you'll take care of everything." "What is it, David?" "Oh, would you like to go get something to eat?" "No, thank you, darling." "A drink?" "Mmm, no." "I'm terribly sorry." "No, it's my fault." "I didn't see you." "Will it wash out, Elizabeth?" "Yes." "It isn't bad." "You'd better do it right now." "Come on, I'll help you." "All right." "Sabrina." "David." "Hello." "You look wonderful." "Thank you." "I'm a bit late." "I worried." "Were you afraid I'd forgotten the address?" "It crossed my mind." "Shall we dance?" "Right here?" "Who is that girl?" "I don't know." "I wonder what happened to Elizabeth." "What a lovely party." "It is now." "The nicest one you've ever had, and I've been to all your parties." "You have?" "Standing right up there in that tree." "Oh, Sabrina, if I'd only known." "Oh, Sabrina, Sabrina, where have you been all my life?" "Right over the garage." "Right over my car." "Right up in that tree." "What a fool I was." "And what a crush I had on you." "It's not too late, is it?" "I don't know, David." "Is it?" "You should see her!" "You should see Sabrina!" "The prettiest girl, the prettiest dress, the best dancer, the belle of the ball." "And such poise, as though she belonged there." "I don't like it." "Who's she dancing with, David?" "That's right." "And he's holding her so close," "I don't see how the poor girl can breathe." "And the way they look into each other's eyes." "I don't like it." "Tom, you ought to be happy for her." "This is what she wanted." "This is where she belongs." "No, and it's not where I belong." "Remember the Harringtons' chauffeur?" "His daughter fell in love with the son of the house." "Soon he was driving the family to the church, changing his uniform, and giving the bride away." "That's not for me." "Tom, that was 25 years ago." "Come on, let's sneak up and see her." "[Music Ends]" "David." "David!" "Oh, hello, Mother." "David, I don't believe I know this young lady." "Oh, yes, you do." "Good evening, Mrs. Larrabee." "Mother, this is Miss Fairchild." "Sabrina?" "Yes, of course." "Yes, of course!" "Of course." "Sabrina." "You didn't recognize me, did you?" "Have I changed?" "Have I really changed?" "You certainly have." "You look lovely, Sabrina." "Doesn't she, though?" "I thought it would be fun to ask her to the party..." "a welcome home." "David's been just wonderful." "He met me at the station." "Did he?" "How nice of him." "She's been to Paris, you know." "Yes, I know." "You must come over and cook something special for us, Sabrina." "I want to see what you've learned." "Oh, I've learned a lot." "[Music Plays]" "Bye." "Oh, David, this is such fun." "So much more fun than just watching from that tree." "I'm so glad you came back home, Sabrina." "I'll never let you go away again." "Never?" "Never." "David, would you like to kiss me?" "Would I?" "Yes." "A nice steady kiss." "Not on roller skates this time." "Roller skates?" "You don't remember." "I remember I had a pair of skates." "I was 9 years old, and you had your arms around me because you were teaching me to skate backwards, and suddenly you kissed me." "I've never forgotten." "Oh, Sabrina, let's get out of here." "Yes, let's." "I'll tell you what." "You slip away first." "I'll meet you at the..." "The indoor tennis court." "And you'll bring champagne." "Of course." "You saw an awful lot from that tree, didn't you?" "And will you have the orchestra play Isn't It Romantic?" "Naturally." "What's happened to David?" "He's being a good host, but I'll get him out of circulation." "Thank you." "Have you got a minute?" "Not right now." "The old man wants to see you." "Later." "I'm busy." "You better come." "He's frothing at the mouth." "Oh?" "What about?" "You guess." "Animal, vegetable, or mineral?" "Definitely animal." "Ahem." "[Cracking Knuckles]" "I'm telling you, Linus, this boy should be drummed out of the family!" "What have I done now, Father?" "I'm not saying that all Larrabees have been saints." "A Thomas Larrabee was hung for piracy, and a Benjamin Larrabee was a slave trader." "My great-great-uncle Joshua Larrabee was shot while robbing a train." "But there never was a Larrabee who behaved as David Larrabee has tonight!" "Exactly what have I done?" "What have you done?" "Father, remember your basal metabolism." "No gentleman makes love to a servant in his mother's house." "She is not a servant." "She's a servant's daughter." "You've embarrassed your mother and also our chauffeur." "I've too much respect for Fairchild to intrude on his personal life, and I expect you to respect his daughter." "I respect her so much, I invited her to the party!" "That's overdoing it." "I love her!" "He loves her." "Next thing we know, he'll lean a ladder up against the garage wall and elope with the girl." "Maybe!" "I'll overlook for the moment the fact that you're engaged and merely remind you of your marital record to date." "I know, Father." "I've made three mistakes." "First, that Hungarian countess who only married you to bring her family over... her mother, father, and five brothers." "All of them badly in need of costly dental repairs." "Do we have to go through that?" "Then that Twyman girl!" "Her family 50 years on the social register, and she has the audacity to wear on her wedding dress not a corsage, b-b-but a Stevenson button!" "Father, you promised not to swear." "Then that great actress." "Turns out all she does is commercials on television for an underarm deodorant!" "Poof poof." "Poof poof." "And now our chauffeur's daughter!" "Are you through?" "There's someone waiting." "I'm not, and I'm sure your brother has a few words to say." "I do, but I'm not sure you'll like them, Father." "You're being unfair." "I'm what?" "David's old enough to live his own life." "If he decides Sabrina's the girl..." "Nonsense!" "Linus, you really mean that?" "Of course." "But it would disturb your plans." "The plastics merger?" "Forget it." "If you love her, take her." "This is the 20th century." "I could pick a century out of a hat blindfolded and get a better one!" "You'll get rid of that girl immediately, and you'll apologize to your fiancée!" "Now, Father, don't push him." "Let's discuss this like civilized people." "Sit down, David." "Thank you, Linus." "I really have to go." "You two work it out." "You want me to help you?" "Of course, Linus." "Well, sit down!" "You're the only one who understands..." "[Crunch]" "Ow!" "Oh, no!" "What happened?" "Champagne glasses." "I sat on them!" "On the chair?" "No, in my pocket!" "Sabrina?" "Hello." "You did order champagne, didn't you?" "What are you doing here?" "David sent me." "Isn't he coming?" "No." "I don't think he'll make it." "What happened?" "He got stuck." "Stuck?" "Nothing serious." "Just one of those things." "Shall I serve it up there, or will you come down?" "Up there?" "All right." "No." "I'll come down." "We do meet under the most peculiar circumstances." "Either you're under eight cars looking for a missing spark plug, or you're perched up here, umpiring a tennis match between two players who aren't there." "You look lovely, Sabrina... and very grown-up." "I'd better get back." "And leave me here alone?" "What did David say?" "I don't know what you did, but he hasn't been in such a state since he was kicked in the head by a polo pony." "That's nice." "Amnesia has definitely set in." "He's completely forgotten he's engaged." "He wants you." "And I want him." "I've been in love with him all my life." "Mmm." "Well, there goes the engagement." "You don't object?" "Object?" "To you?" "It's as though a window had been thrown open, and a lovely breeze swept through this stuffy old house." "How could I object?" "Even though the breeze comes from the general direction of the garage?" "This is the 20th century, Sabrina." "Thank you." "Let's drink to that." "I'm sorry it isn't David here instead of me, but it's all in the family." "You know, when you just walked in here," "I was sure you'd been sent by the family to deal with me." "To deal with you?" "Like in a Viennese operetta... the young prince falls in love with the waitress at the rathskeller, and the prime minister is sent to buy her off." "Buy her off?" "Yes." "He offers her 5,000 kronen." ""No," she says." ""10,000?"" ""No."" "15,000 kronen?" "No." "25,000 kronen?" "No." "$25,000." "No." "How did dollars get into this?" "$25,000 after taxes." "That's a lot of money, Sabrina." "What are you trying to say?" "I'm just trying to make it worthwhile." "What's a krone these days?" "No self-respecting prime minister would offer kronen." "No self-respecting waitress would take dollars." "Good girl." "Hey, um, how does this operetta end?" "What's the last act?" "I don't know." "I guess they run away to America on a zeppelin with everybody singing like mad." "They open a brewery in Milwaukee." "Yes." "The love that made Milwaukee famous." "Prosit!" "[Isn't It Romantic?" "Plays]" "There it is." "The song they were playing the night before I went away." "David was right here dancing it with somebody else." "Tonight I wanted it to be me." "It's all in the family." "[Ping]" "Ow." "[Ping]" "Ow!" "How are we going to make sure all the fragments have been removed?" "Very simple." "We will reconstruct the two champagne glasses." "Now, I cannot possibly be hurting you." "The area has been completely anesthetized." "It's not you." "It's that song!" "Oh." "Sabrina." "Hmm?" "If David were here now, you'd expect him to kiss you, wouldn't you?" "Mmm." "Here's a kiss from David." "It's all in the family." "Ooh!" "[Knock On Door]" "Come in." "Hi." "Ooh!" "How do you feel?" "I never felt better in my life." "You look fine." "The anesthetic worn off?" "Ohh!" "I guess it has." "I brought you a present." "What happened on the tennis court?" "Was Sabrina mad because I didn't show up?" "Not mad." "Just disappointed." "Poor kid." "What did you tell her?" "The truth... that the family objected to her, but you stood up like a man... and sat down like a jerk." "23 stitches." "Here." "This ought to make you feel better." "A plastic hammock?" "Uh-huh." "With a trap door." "Designed it myself." "Ran it off at the factory this morning." "On Sunday?" "You were in pain, so I had them open the plant." "What a brother." "All right." "Let's try it on for size." "Come on." "On your feet." "Oh... oh." "I'll never drink champagne again as long as I live." "What did you think of Sabrina?" "Wonderful girl." "Were you nice to her?" "As nice as I could be." "What a brother." "I've been trying to write a poem to her, but I can't seem to finish it." "What rhymes with glass?" "Glass... glass... uh... alas." "Of course." "Oh!" "Right on the nose." "Linus!" "Sorry, David." "Ah, if Sabrina were only here." "Hey, how about smuggling her up in the dumbwaiter?" "That would be dumb." "What if Father sees her?" "Yeah." "We wouldn't want to do anything to spoil it." "No, we sure wouldn't." "Linus, will you do me a favor?" "Anytime." "I know how these things bore you, but would you keep an eye on Sabrina?" "As a matter of fact, I'm taking her sailing today." "Sailing?" "Uh-huh." "In your boat." "Honest?" "Oh, Sabrina." "Tell her we'll be off, just the two of us, the moment Dr. Calloway takes the stitches out." "Then you've already made up your mind." "Absolutely." "This is it!" "I wanted to make sure because this has been it three times before." "It's been Sabrina and I since childhood." "I just couldn't see her for the tree." "What about Elizabeth and Father and Mother?" "So what about them?" "Elizabeth will be so broken up, she'll buy three new hats." "Mother will go to bed with a headache and the latest Mickey Spillane." "Father will drink, smoke, then threaten to exile me to Larrabee Copper in Butte, Montana." "That's where you come in." "How?" "I don't want to go to Butte, Montana." "You're going to help me, aren't you?" "Oh, yes." "Yes." "I'm going to help you." "Aren't I?" "Oh, what a brother." "[Knock On Door]" "Aw, how's my poor darling?" "Oh!" "I brought you six books, dear, and Scrabble." "Scrabble?" "I'm in no condition to play Scrabble." "Don't be silly." "That's all you're in a condition for." "I still don't understand why those glasses were in your pockets." "I was taking them to the tennis court." "Uh... there was a game." "In the dark?" "At night?" "Yes." "That's why he needed the glasses." "Ha ha ha." "Yes." "That's why I needed the glasses." "Ow!" "Ooh!" "Oh." "Oh!" "Shall we play three-handed?" "No, thanks." "I've got to go sailing." "Yes, he's got to go sailing." "No more false moves until those stitches are out." "We don't want any complications to set in, do we?" "So long, Elizabeth." "So long, Scarface." "Oh, good afternoon, Father." "I thought it was your mother." "I don't mind you smoking in my room, but not in my clothes closet." "It's good for the moths." "What about that girl over the garage?" "David wants to run off with her." "The chauffeur's daughter." "I just don't want him to run off with the plastics merger." "I have a simple solution." "We'll fire Fairchild." "Not after 25 years, Father." "We'll write her a nice check and tell her to forget David." "She doesn't want money." "She wants love." "I thought they discontinued that model." "The last of the romantics." "L 'amour, toujours I'amour!" "Why pick on David?" "Why can't she be in love with someone else?" "We will do our best." "Oh, oh." "Is that the idea?" "Yep." "You've got someone in mind?" "Yep." "Who?" "(sing) Boola-boola, boola-boola (sing)" "(sing) Boola-boola, boo... (sing)" "Oh, no!" "What's the matter?" "Not you, Linus!" "Do you think this is any fun for me?" "I've got a desk full of work." "I'm supposed to be in Texas on the sulfur deal." "The whole Puerto Rican operation has to be set in motion, and I'm making an ass out of myself with a girl, 22." "Look at me..." "Joe College with a touch of arthritis." "Could you use this sailing into the sunset?" "I wish I were dead with my back broken." "Just a thought." "Music might help." "Seems to me I had a portable phonograph from my freshman days." "I only hope you remember what to do with a girl." "It'll come back to me." "It's like riding a bicycle." "# Yes, we have no bananas #" "# We have no bananas today #" "# We've string beans and onions #" "# Cabbages and scallions #" "# And all kinds of fruit and say... #" "This is a very unusual song." "Is it popular?" "Oh, yes." "Wonder why I never heard it before." "You've been in Paris for two years." "(sing) Yes, we have no bananas (sing)" "(sing) We have no bananas today (sing)" "How did they ever think of those words?" "They are clever, aren't they?" "May I play another?" "Of course." "Oh, you need dusting." "I beg your pardon?" "I didn't mean you, Linus." "Thank you." "How's David?" "He's been flat on his stomach, but he's feeling better." "Now he's flat on his back." "I miss him." "Not that I'm not having a good time." "Sabrina." "Yes?" "Would you mind if we..." "turned this off?" "Why?" "Because." "Don't you like it?" "I used to like it." "[Music Stops]" "Certain songs bring back sudden memories to me, too." "Did you love her?" "I'd rather not talk about it." "I'm sorry." "That's all right." "So strange to think of you being touched by a woman." "I always thought you walked alone." "No man walks alone from choice." "As a child, I used to watch you from the window over the garage, coming and going, always wearing your black homburg and carrying a briefcase and an umbrella." "I thought you could never belong to anyone... never care for anyone." "Oh, yes, the cold businessman behind his marble desk way up in his executive suite." "No emotion..." "just ice water in his veins and ticker tape coming from his heart." "And yet, one day, that same cold businessman, high up in a skyscraper, opens a window and steps out on a ledge, stands there for three hours, wondering... if he should jump." "Because of her?" "No." "No, that was another woman." "Sabrina, do you find it hard to believe that someone might want to blot out everything for sentimental reasons?" "Oh, I believe it." "You know what I almost did because of sentimental reasons?" "I..." "I went to Paris to blot it out." "Maybe you should go to Paris, Linus." "It helped me a lot." "Have you been there?" "Oh, yes." "Yes." "Once." "I was there for 35 minutes." "35 minutes?" "Changing planes on my way to Iraq on an oil deal." "Oh, but Paris isn't for changing planes." "It's for changing your outlook, for throwing open the windows and letting in... letting in La Vie En Rose." "Paris is for lovers." "Maybe that's why I stayed only 35 minutes." "[Dog Whimpers]" "Shh!" "[Whimpering]" "Hi, David." "Hello, Father." "Margaret has some dinner for you in the kitchen, Sabrina." "Funny, I used to be so afraid of him." "Aren't you hungry?" "Father, you've driven Linus for so many years." "What do you know about him?" "A chauffeur keeps his eyes on the road." "Only rarely does he glimpse in the rear-view mirror." "If you look a little longer, you'd find him rather nice... and quite human." "(sing) We have no bananas (sing)" "(sing) Today (sing)" "Good morning, Miss McCardle." "First a wire to Hannegan, Fort Worth, Texas." "Unable to attend Larrabee Sulfur board meeting because of slight hitch Larrabee Plastics merger." "Got that?" "Next..." "Here's the itinerary for tonight." "I want two tickets to The Seven Year Itch, table at the Colony before the show, table for two at the Persian Room after the show." "Make it a corner table." "A dark corner." "I'm just passing La Guardia field." "Put the coffee on in 10 minutes." "Make it strong." "Fairchild, I'll be needing you tonight." "Yes, sir." "I'm taking Sabrina out again." "Yes, sir." "Will you have her at my office at 7:00?" "Yes, sir." "Anything wrong, Fairchild?" "I would very much prefer that you dispense with my services on these dates with my daughter." "It makes for a rather awkward situation." "I see." "That never occurred to me." "I'm sorry." "It's just not right, sir." "Life is like a limousine." "Though we're all driving together, we must remember our places." "There's a front seat and a back seat and a window in between." "Fairchild, I never realized it, but you're a terrible snob." "Yes, sir." "All right." "Have her drive in herself." "Have her take David's car." "Thank you, sir." "It's all so distressing." "First Mr. David, now you." "I wish Sabrina would have stayed in Paris." "So do I." "May I ask, sir, what exactly are your intentions?" "My intentions?" "Unethical, reprehensible, but very practical." "Beg pardon?" "With your permission, Fairchild," "I'm shipping your daughter back to Paris." "You are?" "That is, I'm going to try." "May I ask how, sir?" "First class, of course." "And I don't want you to worry about money." "It's not money I'm worried about." "It's Sabrina." "I don't want her to get hurt." "I'll be as gentle as I can." "I hope so, sir." "She's just a displaced person, I'm afraid." "She doesn't belong in a mansion." "Then again, she doesn't belong above a garage, either." "All right." "The meeting of the board of directors of the Larrabee Industries will now come to order." "As chairman of the board," "I would like to say at the outset... the chairman is so dizzy." "Meeting adjourned." "Have a frozen daiquiri." "I once saw an office like this in an old copy of Fortune magazine at my dentist's." "Is David's office like this?" "Something like this, only larger." "Larger?" "Instead of a desk, he has a putting green." "Please, Sabrina, before my fingers get frostbitten." "Is this the ledge?" "What ledge?" "You know, the ledge... that woman... when you almost..." "Oh, the ledge." "Yes." "Yes, that's the ledge, all right." "What made you not do it?" "There were some children playing hopscotch on the sidewalk." "I'm very fond of those children." "Look at all these gadgets." "Just imagine, you press a button, and factories go up, or you pick up a telephone, and 100 tankers set out for Persia, or you say into the dictaphone," ""Buy all of Cleveland and move it to Pittsburgh."" "You must be awfully clever." "It's nothing, really." "Just a small knack, like juggling three oranges." "It isn't oranges." "It's millions." "Suppose you dropped one?" "Suppose I did." "What's at the end of a million?" "Zero, zero, zero." "Nothing." "A circle with a hole in it." "Sabrina..." "Yes, Linus?" "Can you keep a secret?" "Secret?" "Yes, of course you can." "I want you to look out there, uptown." "You see the French line pier?" "Yes." "You see the boat?" "Yes." "That's the Liberte." "It sails on Thursday." "I'm going to be on it." "You are?" "Yes, I am." "I'm sick of pushing buttons, sick of this office." "I'm breaking out, Sabrina." "I'm running away." "I've been thinking about Paris ever since you mentioned it." "It's all your fault." "It'll make a new person of you, I guarantee." "Oh, Linus, I'm so glad you're going." "Or am I?" "It's 7:35, Mr. Larrabee." "You have a dinner reservation at the Colony." "Thank you." "Ready, Sabrina?" "Tout de suite, as they say in Paris." "Curtain is at 8:40." "I used your brother's name at the Colony." "I got you the darkest corner." "Heh heh." "I'm sorry, Mr. Larrabee." "This is what you do on your first day in Paris." "You get yourself some rain, not just a drizzle, but honest-to-goodness rain." "Then you find yourself someone really nice and drive her through the Bois de Boulogne in a taxi." "The rain's very important because that's when Paris smells its sweetest." "It's the damp chestnut trees, you see?" "I see." "You're very clever, Linus, and very rich." "You can order yourself some rain." "Oh, sure." "I can order myself some rain." "I can get myself a taxi." "That's easy." "But can I find myself someone really nice?" "That's not so easy, Sabrina." "[La Vie En Rose Plays]" "How do you say in French, my sister has a yellow pencil?" "Ma soeur a un crayon jaune." "How do you say, my brother has a lovely girl?"

"We can't have you walking down the Champs Elysees looking like a tourist undertaker." "Another thing..." "Never a briefcase in Paris and never an umbrella." "There's a law." "How am I ever going to get along in Paris without someone like you?" "Who'll be there to help me with my French, to turn down the brim of my hat?" "Suppose you meet someone on the boat, a perfect stranger." "I have a better suppose, Sabrina." "Suppose I were 10 years younger." "Suppose you weren't in love with David."

"I bet he slept through the show, then bent your ear the rest of the evening with excess profits taxes." "We talked about a lot of things." "How's your little, uh, mishap?" "Oh, shaping up beautifully." "Dr. Calloway's so proud of the job, he wants to show it to his class." "Oh, I'm sorry, Sabrina." "It's very funny." "Oh, say, Linus, lying in that hammock, I got a great idea." "He thinks I'm an idiot." "How's this?" "Champagne glasses out of plastic..." "just in case." "Oh, brilliant." "What else did Dr. Calloway have to say?" "Stitches come out Thursday." "Thursday?" "I'm a fast healer." "You sure are." "So if you have long-range plans..." "Oh, nothing long-range."

"Au revoir, Sabrina." "Good night, Linus." "He's a little on the dull side, isn't he?" "But you can't help liking him." "Kiss me, David." "Love to, Sabrina." "Again." "That's better." "What's the matter, darling?" "You're not worried about us, are you?" "So there'll be a big stink in the family." "David, I'm not going to have dinner with Linus." "I don't want to go out with him." "Why not?" "I want to be near you." "Oh, I know." "It must be a bore." "But if Linus wants to take you out, let's be nice about it." "It's very important." "He's our only ally."

"It's the Larrabee building, but I'm not coming up." "Look, Sabrina, suppose you tell me exactly what's on your mind slowly and clearly." "You talk, and I'll listen." "It was David's idea I go out with you because he wants you to help him." "Trouble is, it's not helping me." "I shouldn't have been seeing you." "I shouldn't even be talking to you." "I'm really only calling to say good-bye." "Tomorrow you'll be on the boat to Paris." "In a way, I'm glad you're going." "You know what I mean, don't you, Linus?" "Linus?" "Hello, Linus?" "Where are you, Linus?" "Your three minutes are up." "Oh, hello." "Isn't it silly?" "I was talking to myself." "You wasted a dime, too." "Come on." "You're not angry with me?" "Of course not." "I have a perfectly good reason not to see you." "Not here, Sabrina." "All right, Sabrina, what is that perfectly good reason why you shouldn't see me?" "What is it?" "What's bothering you?" "It's me that's bothering me." "Please don't." "I'm sorry." "I know I'm not making much sense, Linus." "Would you like a drink?" "I don't think I want a drink." "I think I do." "Why don't you sit down?" "I can only stay a minute." "Mind if I turn on this little one?" "If you want." "I'd hate to fix a martini with crème de menthe." "[Buzz]" "Yes?" "I've canceled your dinner reservation, Mr. Larrabee." "What about the theater tickets?" "Oh, I couldn't possibly go anywhere." "They're all yours, Miss McCardle." "Good night." "Sure you won't have even one?" "No, thanks." "You must be hungry." "I hadn't thought about it." "I'm starved." "I was sort of saving myself for 21 tonight." "I've spoiled your evening, haven't I?" "No, you haven't." "We can have dinner right here." "Let's see what Miss McCardle is hoarding." "Probably Maraschino cherries and stale crackers." "Tomato juice... puffed rice, sardines, tomato juice, tomato juice, tomato juice." "That's an awful lot of tomato juice." "Could you fix something out of all this?" "I suppose so." "I'm a graduate cook." "I have a diploma." "Oh, it'll take a diploma." "I wanted to be so sure" "I couldn't go out with you tonight, and here I am, cooking for you." "I guess maybe I should have worn an apron." "One apron coming up." "Pots, pans, can opener, stove... all the comforts of home." "Miss McCardle once cooked dinner here for the board of directors." "After the first course, there was a move to adjourn." "It was passed unanimously." "What do we start with?" "I haven't decided yet." "Now, Sabrina... let's have none of those." "I'm so ashamed, Linus." "You have no reason to be." "I've known you only a few days, just a few days, really, and I've been in love with David all my life." "I can't understand what's the matter with me." "I went away to grow up, and I thought I had grown up, but I guess I haven't, really." "I just got myself a new hairdo, that's all." "Please say something." "Well, like what?" "I don't know." "Tell me I'm imagining things." "Tell me you never even thought of taking me on the boat to Paris with you." "Tell me to put on my coat and go home before I make a complete fool of myself." "But don't let me go home." "I couldn't bear it." "This is the last time we're going to see each other." "I'll behave, Linus." "I'm all right now." "That's good." "Now, how about dinner?" "I just remembered I didn't have any lunch today." "You didn't?" "Or any breakfast, either." "That may account for a lot of things." "Would you like a soufflé for dessert?" "Out of tomato juice?" "Out of crackers, of course." "Not too soggy, huh?" "You'd better get out of the kitchen." "Which one is the Liberte?" "Oh, the one on the right." "Are you sure?" "You mustn't take the wrong boat." "I'll try not to." "You haven't forgotten my instructions, have you?" "Never an umbrella in Paris and under all circumstances, rain the very first day." "I haven't forgotten a word, Sabrina." "My sister has a yellow pencil." "Ma soeur a un crayon jaune." "Very good." "Tres bien." "Watch." "1, 2, 3, crack." "New egg." "It's all in the wrist." "There must be an eggbeater somewhere." "Linus." "Linus, why didn't you tell me?" "You do want to take me with you, don't you?" "These don't mean what you think they mean." "You didn't tell me because you think it's wrong." "They'll say I'm too young for you, there'll be a scandal, the market will go down." "Linus Larrabee, Esquire, is taking me to Paris." "Sabrina..." "I..." "I wasn't going to take you to Paris." "I was going to send you." "Alone?" "Yes." "All alone." "But there's a ticket for you." "For an empty cabin." "You were joining me in Paris, is that it?" "I'm afraid not." "I think I understand." "I'm sorry." "But why?" "Why did you do it, Linus?" "High finance, expansion, a marriage, a merger, a new plaque on the Larrabee building." "You got in the way." "David?" "That's right." "How inconsiderate of me." "And how inconvenient for you." "Such a busy man having to waste so much time just to get me on a boat." "I'm ashamed to say" "I enjoyed every minute of it." "And I suppose in your empty cabin there would have been a farewell note dictated to and typed by Miss McCardle." "Perhaps a few flowers." "A little more than that." "A letter of credit, an apartment in Paris, a car," "1,500 shares of Larrabee Preferred for your father." "You're very generous." "We regard it as a necessary business expense." "I'll just take one of those tickets." "I was happy in Paris." "I think you would have been, too." "Good night, Mr. Larrabee." "I'm sorry I can't stay to do the dishes." "Good morning." "Good morning." "Good morning." "Good morning." "Good morning." "Good morning." "[Buzzing]" "Mr. Larrabee?" "Come in, Miss McCardle." "Good morning." "Good morning." "You're late." "Had to make my own coffee." "Worst ever." "I'm sorry." "I had a very bad night last night." "I know exactly how you feel." "You better get that pad." "We have things to do." "I used your theater tickets and took my mother." "You ready?" "Yes." "First, call Larrabee Shipping." "Tell them to radio our tankers bound for Puerto Rico to turn back." "Tell Larrabee Construction to stop work on the new plant." "We're canceling the plastics merger." "We are?" "Next, I want Mr. Larrabee, Sr.," "Mr. Tyson, Miss Elizabeth Tyson here in this office as soon as possible." "Better have a large bottle of smelling salts around." "We're calling off the wedding." "When's your mother's birthday?" "Why?" "I'm sending her 2,000 gardenias." "Here's a ticket for the Liberte." "Have it transferred to the name of Mr. David Larrabee." "Make sure his passport's in order." "See if you can locate David." "The boat sails at noon." "I've called the house." "He isn't there." "Try everywhere, but get him." "Do you want me to send those presents to Miss Fairchild's cabin?" "No." "We're sending David instead." "Good morning." "You'll be happy to hear the stitches are out." "It's as good as new." "Congratulations." "I've been looking for you." "And I've been looking for you." "You're leaving for Paris today." "It's all arranged." "No kidding." "With Sabrina." "She'll be on the boat." "Uh-huh." "She have to be in here?" "All right, Miss McCardle, you've got a lot of work to do." "Aren't you pleased with the news?" "What's wrong with you?" "I saw Sabrina last night." "Oh?" "Mm-hmm." "Found her packing." "What did she say?" "Nothing." "She just kissed me." "What's wrong with that?" "I don't know Dow-Jones averages." "I know about kisses." "Yes, you could lecture on that at Vassar." "This one tasted like a good-bye kiss." "Aw, you're just imagining things." "No." "It had a few tears in it." "I'm not very bright." "It took me until this morning to add 2 and 2 together, like 2 champagne glasses and the plastics deal and Sabrina." "Know what I got?" "What?" "Sorry I had to do it to a tired businessman." "Oh, that's all right." "Well, now we're even." "Go home." "Start packing." "I'll take care of Elizabeth." "I'm calling off the merger at the board meeting." "Miss McCardle will have your passport and your ticket." "Tell her if you need money." "I want you and Sabrina to have a good time in Paris." "Good-bye." "What makes you so sure Sabrina still wants me?" "She's wanted you all her life." "Until you came along in that silly homburg." "Straighten that silly straw hat." "On your way." "You'll miss the boat." "Don't worry." "I won't miss the boat." "I'm going." "Funniest thing..." "Linus Larrabee, the man who doesn't burn, doesn't scorch, doesn't melt, suddenly throws a $20-million deal out the window." "Are you sure you don't want to go with her?" "Why should I want to go with her?" "Because you're in love with her." "You won't be annoyed if I cry at the boat, will you, Sabrina?" "I'll be disappointed if you don't, Father." "I'd feel so much better if only you'd be angry with me for allowing this to happen." "It wasn't your fault, Father." "It was mine." "I should have believed you." "There's a front seat and a back seat." "And a window in between." "If it's any consolation, one good thing's come out of it anyway." "You did get over David, didn't you?" "Dear David." "Yes, I did get over that." "I'm cured." "Now I have to get over the cure." "It wouldn't have worked out, really, darling." "The papers and everybody else would have said how fine and democratic for a Larrabee to marry the chauffeur's daughter, but would they praise the chauffeur's daughter?" "No." "Democracy can be a wickedly unfair thing, Sabrina." "Nobody poor was ever called democratic for marrying somebody rich." "Why don't we start this meeting and sign the papers?" "We're waiting for David, of course." "He has no sense of time or direction." "In fact, he has no sense." "Where is he, Linus?" "We'll get to that in a minute." "Here are the smelling salts." "I got you the largest size." "[Boat Whistle Blows]" "Look what I bought him for Waikiki Beach." "I hope they're loud enough." "I hope they're returnable." "[Boat Whistle Blows]" "Well, gentlemen, I see no need for any further delays." "Suppose we get down to business." "What about David?" "Yes, what about David?" "That's a very good question." "Not yet." "Mr. Tyson, members of the board, are you with us, Father?" "Present." "As you know, gentlemen, we are here today to put our signatures to the Larrabee-Tyson merger." "Much effort has gone into making this union possible... long hours, many obstacles to overcome." "Nobody knows better than I." "However..." "Not yet." "However, sometimes even the most conscientious of businessmen can botch up a deal for one reason or another." "Now, understand I..." "I don't mean to say that our merger has hit a snag or failed to gel or gone up in smoke or fallen through." "Let me put it this way, gentlemen." "It has sailed away." "[Boat Whistle Blows]" "I seem to have missed something here." "Would you mind starting over again?" "Now, Miss McCardle." "Elizabeth, I hate to have to break the news to you, but at this moment, your fiancé Mr. David Larrabee... is late as usual." "Hello, everybody." "Hello, darling." "Hello, Linus." "How are you?" "What are you doing here?" "I heard there was a meeting." "Where are the contracts?" "Where do I sign?" "Where's Sabrina?" "Sabrina?" "Who's Sabrina?" "That name." "That name." "She's on the boat, I guess." "But the boat's sailed." "[Whistle Blows]" "There she goes." "Who goes?" "Sabrina." "Who is Sabrina?" "Why did you do it?" "Do what?" "She's all alone out there." "Not according to the afternoon papers." "It says here that "Linus Larrabee"... that's you..." ""and Sabrina Fairchild"..." "that's she..." ""have quietly reserved adjacent deck chairs on the Liberte sailing today."" "Columnists should be beaten to a pulp and converted back into paper." "Did you plant this?" "Me?" "I thought it was common knowledge about you and Sabrina." "Who is Sabrina?" "Our chauffeur's daughter." "That's who she is." "Now, how about that, gentlemen?" "Linus Larrabee, wizard of finance, man of distinction, chairman of the board of Larrabee Industries getting mixed up with his chauffeur's daughter." "That's enough, David." "She went after me for a while but switched to Linus." "I guess it's because he's got more money." "We know about those kind of girls." "Believe me, this one is no different." "Just seems to be." "I said that's enough." "Maybe you got smart, Linus, or maybe you just got lucky, because you're here and she's out there." "Brother, she would have taken you for plenty." "I was just helping you make up your mind." "You are in love with her." "[Whistle Blows]" "Well, what are you waiting for?" "There's an elevator outside, a police escort downstairs, and a tugboat standing by." "[Whistle Blows]" "Get moving!" "Well, if you'll excuse me, gentlemen, it appears I have a previous engagement." "That's the 20th century for you... automobiles, garages, chauffeurs, chauffeurs' daughters!" "Inasmuch as I seem to be the only member of the Larrabee family who is not completely out of his mind," "I will take it upon myself to call this meeting back to order as soon as David Larrabee removes his carcass from this table." "[David] Sit down, Father." "[Crunch]" "The olives." "[Whistle Blows]" "[Whistle Blows]" "Miss Fairchild?" "II y a un monsieur sur le bateau qui voudrait bien que vous lui arrangiez son chapeau." "[Whimpering]" "Voila." "Merci beaucoup." "[Whistle Blows]" "{{{the end}}}"
