(man) ♫ I love your funny face
♫ Your sunny, funny face
♫ For you're a cutie
♫ With more than beauty
♫ You've got a lot of
♫ Personality-N-T
♫ You fill the air with smiles
♫ For miles and miles and miles
♫ Though you're no Mona Lisa
♫ For worlds I'd not replace
♫ Your sunny, funny face
(women) ♫ You've made my life so glamorous
♫ You can't blame me for feeling amorous
♫ Oh, s'wonderful
♫ S'marvelous
(military drum beat)
Good morning, Miss Prescott.
(Miss Prescott) Now hear this!
I simpIy cannot release this issue the way it is!
In the 60 years of Quality magazine, this hits rock bottom.
If I let this go through, I will have failed the American woman.
(all) No, Miss Prescott, don't say that!
The great American woman, who stands out there naked,
waiting for me to tell her what to wear.
It doesn't speak.
And if it won't speak to me, it won't speak to anyone.
A magazine must be like a human being.
If it comes into the home it must contribute.
It just can't lie around.
A magazine must have...
..blood and brains and pizzazz.
This is just paper!
If I send paper to the American woman, I will have let her down.
(all) No, Miss Prescott, you mustn't say that.
Yes. D for down.
D for dreary.
D for dull and for depressing,
dismal and deadly!
Ahh! Here it is!
Here is our theme. Here is our answer. Pink!
(excited chatter)
Girls, girls, girls, girls. Listen, take this to all the designers.
I want dresses made up in exactly this shade of pink.
Babs, take this to Kaiser Delmont.
I want shoes and stockings in exactly this colour.
Laura, everything goes pink!
I want the whole issue pink. I want the whole country pink!
Lettie, take an editorial. "To the women of America..."
No, make it "To the women everywhere."
Banish the black,
burn the blue,
and bury the beige.
From now on, girls...
♫ Think pink! Think pink when you shop for summer clothes
♫ Think pink! Think pink if you want that quelque chose
♫ Red is dead, blue is through
♫ Green's obscene, brown's taboo
♫ And there is not the slightest excuse for plum or puce
♫ Or chartreuse
♫ Think pink! Forget that Dior says black and rust
♫ Think pink! Who cares if the new look has no bust?
♫ Now, I wouldn't presume to tell a woman
♫ What a woman ought to think
♫ But tell her if she's gotta think, think pink
(women) ♫ For bags, pink for shoes
♫ Razzle, dazzle and spread the news
♫ And pink's for the lady with joie de vivre
♫ Pink's for all the family
♫ Try pink shampoo
♫ Pink toothpaste too!
♫ Play in pink, all day in pink
♫ Pretty gayin' pink
♫ Drive in pink
♫ Come alive in pink
♫ Have a dive in pink
♫ Go out dancing but just remember one thing
♫ You can get a little wink
♫ If you got a little pink
♫ In your swing
♫ Think pink! Think pink, it's the latest word, you know
♫ Think pink! Think pink, and you're Michelangelo
♫ Feels so gay, feels so bright
♫ Makes your day, makes your night
♫ Pink is now the colour to which you gotta switch
♫ To which you gotta switch
♫ Every stitch
♫ Every stitch you switch
♫ Think pink! Think pink on the long, long road ahead
♫ On the road
♫ Think pink! Think pink, and the world is rosy red
♫ Everything's rosy
♫ Everything on the great horizon
♫ Everything that you can think
♫ And that includes the kitchen sink
♫ Think pink
♫ Think pink, think pink
♫ Think pink, think pink, think pink!
Maggie?
Dovitch! I want to see you.
Girls, back to work. Gentlemen, that will do!
The Union Pacific railroad is going to paint a whole train pink
and send it on a north west tour.
TWA will let me know this afternoon if we can have a pink plane.
I haven't seen a woman in two weeks in anything but pink.
- What about you? - Me? I wouldn't be caught dead!
Dovitch, I can't wait to tell you about my feature for the next issue.
It's my newest project. And when you hear it, you will drop!
- Now what? - Just you listen.
Dick Avery started working on the pictures this morning.
He's more excited about it than any of us.
Here it is. Clothes for the woman who isn't interested in clothes.
(man) Marion, give me a long look.
Longer.
Longer!
Steve, eh, tip that back light down a bit, will you? OK.
Hold it, boys. Beethoven isn't working. Try Brahms.
Ahm, look, Marion, I'd like to try it again.
This time, let's see if we can't get with it.
Keep in mind that you're a woman who thinks.
Now, that is a piece of sculpture by Itsabuchi.
Look at it as if you understand it. As if it understands you. See?
No Marion, I'm afraid that's not the way we look when we're thinking of Itsabuchi.
React to it. Just... say it.
Itsabuchi, hmm?
You haven't quite got it. Now, listen carefully.
You are in the Museum of Modern Art, Marion.
Deep, Marion. Profound, Marion.
You have come across this statue. And it says something to you
because you are intellectual, always thinking.
What are you thinking?
I'm thinking this is taking a long time,
and I'll never be able to pick up Harold's laundry.
When Harold doesn't get his laundry, disaster!
If we don't get this fixed, you may never see Harold's laundry or Harold again. Let's go.
The woman who thinks must come to grips with fashionable attire.
A woman can be beautiful, as well as intellectual. See facing page.
And how is the facing page?
The facing page looks about as intellectual as a snake.
Nonsense. Marion can be very deep.
Look at her. She's reading.
Marion, dear, what are you reading?
Minute Men From Mars!
Are we all gonna hang around, or get somebody else?
- How about Lucy Brand? - On her honeymoon.
- Betty Hayes? - She's in jail.
Are there no models around who can think as well as they look?
Marion might look better in a different background.
We can go on location. Some intellectual hang-out.
- Somewhere with books. - A book store!
Of course! One of those sinister places in Greenwich Village. Come on, girls!
Let's hurry. We might have to stop and pick up Harold's laundry on the way.
There's one.
(Dick) Driver, stop here.
That's sinister enough.
Melissa, for heaven's sake, help me with this lamp! It's heavy.
I can't, Babs, I got my hands full.
It's movingly dismal. We couldn't have done better if we'd designed it ourselves.
Marion looks smarter already.
(woman screams)
I'm sorry. I didn't see you up there. Are you alright?
Yes, thank you. Can I help you? Would you like a book?
- (Miss Prescott) Marion, over here. - Who are those?
May I help you?
Thank you very much. I think we have everything we need.
Please tell me what all this is about.
We're just going to take a few pictures.
Pictures? What sort of pictures?
- Are you the owner? - No, Dr Post is.
I work here, and I'm in charge in her absence.
I'm Jo Stockton. Can you help me?
How do you do? I'm Dick Avery.
What about these pictures?
Well, we are using the shop as a background
for some fashion pictures for Quality magazine.
I'm sorry. but I can't let you do this. Dr Post would never approve.
She doesn't approve of fashion magazines.
It's chi-chi and an unrealistic approach to self-impressions as well as economics.
- We're going to have trouble. She's a thinker. - She's also a talker!
I must ask you to leave.
We throw ourselves at your mercy.
Haven't poor helpless people like us a right to make a living?
I have asked you to leave. That is my right.
If the rights of the individual
are not respected by the group, the group itself cannot exist for long.
What does that mean?
"Do unto others as you would have others do unto you."
We'll only do unto you for a moment,
and it's no more than we would do unto ourselves.
Girls, I want all these books rearranged.
They look too much alike. They're too pat. Mix them up.
No, you mustn't mix them up.
The books on this shelf pertain to empiricism,
and on this shelf, materialism, and on this, psychopiscoparalysm.
Put them back. Oh, please talk to her. It'll take me hours.
One never talks to Maggie Prescott. One only listens.
Here. I think we ought to use her in the shot. Miss, come here, please.
- Me? - You're selling a book to that girl.
Her?
It's very simple. Just pretend that Marion can read.
Say, listen!
Alright, Marion, let's go.
But this would be a violation of all my principles!
It would be hypocrisy for me to lend myself to this sort of idealism.
- I'm sorry, but... - Shush.
Now, tell Marion about the books so that we can get out of here.
This book deals with epiphenomenalism, which has to do with consciousness
as a mere accessory of physiological processes
whose presence or absence makes no difference...
Whatever are you doing?
Alright, hold it!
- Good. Get her in another outfit. - Put on the shebop.
None of you seems to realise you're trespassing on private property.
You run around, sublime ignorant of the fact that I can have you put in jail.
- For the last time... - You're getting tiresome.
What are you doing?
Let go. Let go of my arm!
I know you don't mean any harm child, but you are in everyone's way.
Now, we won't be a moment.
Let me in!
The air will do her good. She was very pale.
Alright, hit it.
Hold it. Ready?
Good. One more, please.
Alright. Hit it.
Hold it. Ready?
Very good, Marion. One more, please. Last one.
Alright, here we go.
Hit it.
Hold it. Ready.
OK, that's it. That ought to do.
(bell rings)
- Quite through? - Thank you. You've been wonderful.
We'll mention the shop in the magazine.
Don't you dare!
(Miss Prescott) Taxi!
(bell jingles)
Oh, no!
Oh!
Hello there.
I stayed to help you put these things back.
I'm sorry, I didn't realise we made such a mess.
Which shelf for materialism?
Just hand them to me.
Oh, no.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
I'm sorry, we don't usually barge in that way.
I mean a man of your ability wasting his time
photographing silly dresses on silly women.
Most people think they're beautiful dresses on beautiful women.
At most, a synthetic beauty.
Trees are beautiful.
Why don't you photograph trees?
I do what I do for a living. It has to do with supply and demand.
You'd be amazed how small the demand is for pictures of trees.
My work is very pleasant, the pay is excellent,
and I get a trip to Paris every year.
I certainly envy you that.
I'd be in Paris now if I could afford it.
You'd have a ball.
You'd go to a party every night, drink nothing but champagne,
swim in perfume, and a new love affair every hour on the hour.
If I went to Paris, it would be to go to Emile Flostre's lectures.
Who goes to Paris for lectures?
Professor Flostre is the greatest living philosopher,
and father of empathicalism.
Oh? What's empathicalism?
The most sensible approach to true understanding and peace of mind.
Sounds great, but what is it?
It's based on empathy.
Do you know what the word "empathy" means?
No, I'll have to have the beginner's course on that one.
Empathy. Is it something like sympathy?
Oh, it goes beyond sympathy.
Sympathy is to understand what someone feels.
Empathy is to project your imagination
so that you actually feel what the other person is feeling.
You put yourself in the other person's place.
Do I make myself clear?
- Why did you do that? - Empathy.
I put myself in your place and I felt that you wanted to be kissed.
I'm afraid you put yourself in the wrong place.
I have no desire to be kissed by you, or anyone else.
Don't be silly. Everybody wants to be kissed, even philosophers.
I'm sorry, Mr Avery, we don't stock what you're looking for.
I'll let you out.
Don't bother. I'll throw myself out.
Goodbye.
(bell jingles/door shuts)
♫ I was taught that I ought not expose my inner senses
♫ Had no plan for a man
♫ I was full of self-defences
♫ Now I feel that I really should face the consequences
♫ My philosophic search
♫ Has left me in the lurch
♫ I must find why my mind is behaving like a dancer
♫ What's the clue to pursue?
♫ For I have to have the answer
♫ I could cry salty tears
♫ Where have I been all these years?
♫ Is it fun?
♫ Or should I run?
♫ How long has this been going on?
♫ There were chills up my spine
♫ And some thrills I can't define
♫ Does it show?
♫ And who would know?
♫ How long has this been going on?
♫ Oh, I feel that I could melt
♫ Into heaven I'm hurled
♫ I know how Columbus felt
♫ Finding another world
♫ Can I trust how I feel?
♫ Is this my Achilles heel?
♫ Look at me, I'm all at sea
♫ How long has this been going on?
♫ This is grand
♫ This is great
♫ I'm in such a lovely state
♫ Can one kiss
♫ Do all of this?
(Miss Prescott) Well, Dovitch, what do you think?
(Dovitch) They're all good models. What have you got in mind?
(Miss Prescott) A fantastic idea.
It staggers me that nobody's thought of it before.
I'm going to select a girl to be the Quality Woman.
This one girl will represent everything the magazine stands for.
It's a great gimmick. Well, any of these models would be alright.
She's got to be more than alright. She's got to have pizzazz.
An entire collection is going to be designed for her by the greatest couturier in Paris.
- Paul Duval? - Yes, Paul Duval.
And he's going to let us photograph the collection before the opening.
We'll scoop every other magazine!
- Staggers you, doesn't it? - I can't believe it.
Why, he would be barred from Harper's Bazaar and Vogue, and all the other fashion magazines!
Nonsense. If the project comes off, we'll all be heroes.
Wait till you see what I've got. The girl. The Quality Woman.
Oh, Marion's...
Forget about Marion. This is the other girl I'm talking about.
That thing from the book shop?
Maggie, she's new.
She's fresh.
You've gone out of your mind.
One can't deny that she is, ehm, unusual. Who is she?
Don't even ask. The thought of her makes me shudder. Dreadful, dreadful girl.
If this is some sort of joke...
It's no joke. If we do her over and fix her up, she'd be great for us.
She'd devour us all.
- Come on, Maggie. - Well, look at her.
I think her face is perfectly funny.
The Quality Woman must have grace, elegance and pizzazz.
This is the first time I've seen you lack imagination.
Every girl in Quality has grace, elegance and pizzazz.
What about a girl with character, spirit and intelligence?
That certainly would be novel in a fashion magazine.
Sir, I owe you a drink.
Can you make me some black and white enlargements?
- Yes. - Use our darkroom.
- Let me study the possibilities. - Now you are talking.
- I'm not promising anything. - You don't have to.
Runs around here like he owns the magazine!
Lettie, remember that creature in the book shop?
Get her up here. Order some books.
- A large order, so she can't refuse. - $50 worth?
Yes, $50 worth if necessary.
$50 to get her up here. We'll have to drug her to get her to Paris.
Er, Miss Prescott, please.
- Lettie, you'd better come out here. - I've got the books she ordered.
Miss Prescott's secretary will deal with you.
Oh, it's you. Well, come on in.
Come on.
The books are here.
Come in.
That'll be $52 and 75 cents, and $1.20 for the taxi.
$53.95.
Drop the books.
Come on, drop the books.
- On the floor? - Yes, drop them.
Straighten up, shoulders back.
If you girls only knew how important posture is.
Look, I didn't come here to enroll in a military school.
All I want is $53.95.
The Modigliani is $12.50,
and the Braque and Hieronymus Bosch come to $22.75.
$7 for the post-impressionists
and $10.50 for The Egyptians - Fourth to Seventh Dynasties
make it a total of $52.75, and there's $1.20 for the taxi.
- Talks incessantly. - The body's good.
It'll be better when we get through with it.
- Through with what? - She might do.
Might do what?
The bones are good.
Suppose we leave my bones alone and give me my $53.95?
The eyebrows up, a light powder.
I want a little rouge here. She needs a marvelous mouth.
The hair is awful. It must come off.
Would you mind telling me what all this is about?
We may as well get started. Babs, get that dreadful thing off of her.
Now, wait a minute. Just a minute!
Don't! Stop!
This is my second and last encounter with you lunatics.
You just keep your hands off me, all of you.
I come here to make a simple delivery and I find myself being pillaged and plundered.
Well, I'll have no more of it. I don't want my hair cut.
I don't want my eyebrows up or down. I want them where they are.
And I see no functional advantage in a marvelous mouth.
I'm leaving now, and if anyone makes a move to stop me
there'll be plenty of hair cut, and it won't be mine.
Bring her back, girls, alive!
(women) Hurry up.
Hurry. Over here.
Hey, didn't you see that light outside?
In desperation, one does not examine one's avenue of escape.
Oh, it's you.
I'm sorry if I spoiled a print.
That's alright. What's all the desperation about?
Those people.
They don't care about anyone's feelings.
Pulling my clothes and cutting my hair.
- (knock at door) - (woman) Is that girl in there?
(whispers) Please don't give me away!
Maybe you should give them a chance...
There was no one here when I came in.
If you see her, hang on to her.
I'll do that.
I'm afraid it's all my fault. I thought you'd make a good model.
This is your idea?
Yeah, I'm the one you sue.
Oh, how could I be a model?
I have no illusions about my looks. I think my face is funny.
That's what Maggie said.
I hate to admit it, but she's right.
What you call funny, I call interesting.
It's too ridiculous even to think about.
- I couldn't do it. - Let me be the judge of that.
I wouldn't take you to Paris if I didn't think you'd work out.
- Paris? - Yeah. Look at it this way.
Modeling may not be as bad as you think.
If it is, you'll be in Paris. You can see your friend Professor Whosis.
- Flostre? - Yeah.
You can talk to him and go to his lectures.
That way it won't be a total loss.
A means to an end.
Or a means to a beginning, according to how it works out.
Now, let's see.
There we are.
- Oh, no. - What's the matter?
How can you possibly make a model out of that?
You can't be serious.
When I'm done, you'll look like...
What do you call beautiful? A tree. You'll look like a tree.
♫ Frankly, dear, your modesty reveals to me
♫ Self-appraisal often makes us sad
♫ And if I add, your funny face appeals to me
♫ Please don't think I've suddenly gone mad
♫ You have all the qualities of Peter Pan
♫ I'd go far before I'd find a sweeter pan
♫ I love your funny face
♫ Your sunny, funny face
♫ For you're a cutie
♫ With more than beauty
♫ You've got a lot of personality for me
♫ You fill the air with smiles
♫ For miles and miles and miles
♫ Though you're no Mona Lisa
♫ For worlds I'd not replace
♫ Your sunny, funny face
♫ I love your funny face
♫ Your sunny, funny face
♫ You're not exotic
♫ But so hypnotic
♫ You're much too much
♫ If you can cook the way you look
♫ I'd swim the ocean wide
♫ Just to have you by my side
♫ Though you're no Queen of Sheba
♫ For worlds I'd not replace
♫ Your sunny
♫ funny
♫ face
(excited chatter)
Ladies, feast your eyes on our Quality Woman.
Marvelous!
I'm sorry about the trouble. I didn't realise.
My dear, let me do the apologizing. I behaved abominably.
She's agreed to go to Paris. She can hardly wait.
Marvelous!
This is not a loss of integrity. It is a means to an end, and...
There's no time for talking. Tell us on the plane.
Alright, girls, we've got to get cracking. To work and to Paris.
- Would you like to take a guided tour of Paris? - No no no, we're not tourists.
Do we look like those people who run around gaping all day?
I guess they can't understand anyone coming to Paris to work.
We should all go straight to our hotels and get some rest.
- I am exhausted. - I know how you feel.
I'm so tired it's an effort for me to say I'm tired.
(Miss Prescott) Goodbye. I'll be in touch.

Bonjour!
Well, how was that?
- Allo? - (chatter)
Duval! I can't hear myself think, and I'm trying to think in French.
- Maggie! - Ssh! I'm calling again.
I shouldn't design a collection for you.
I am jeopardizing my position with Harper's Bazaar and Vogue,
all for a girl who does not appear.
You're too important for jeopardy. Relax. She will be here without fail.
You said she would be here at ten this morning. It is now past five.
- She's not at the hotel. - Forget about her.
We've started the campaign. There isn't time to get someone else.
Well, where is she?
Maybe at the top of the Eiffel Tower, or the bottom of the Seine.
Maybe she's in a traffic jam. How should I know?
Oh, c'est naturel.
(both) ♫ Bonjour, Paris
Bonjour, bonjour.
I'm throwing a shindig to christen the Quality Woman.
Leave it to Dick to find a delicatessen in Paris.
Imported all the way from Napa Valley, CaIifornia.
Melons from Florida.
About the guest of honour. Where is she? How does she look?
If she's here, she looks invisible.
- She didn't show? - She did not.
These gentlemen are waiting to do her face, her hair.
Duval needs measurements. Where is she?
I wouldn't like to swear in court, but I have a pretty good idea.
(Miss Prescott) Do keep it to yourself!
I'll have her here tomorrow morning at ten o'clock without fail.
In the meantime, be my guests.
Strike.
(beeping)
Salaud! Dégueulasse!
Je vous déteste!
Oh, chérie!
This must be the place.
(band tunes up)
Thank you.
Monsieur, Gigi would like to dance.
- Who's Gigi? - I am Gigi.
Some other time. I just stopped by to pick up the wife and kids.
All that is delicious is not nutritious.
Avaricious, av...
I feel a hostile vibration.
That'll be me. Sorry.
Has he been that way long?
Three hours. It is the ultimate in concentration.
Feels so good when you stop.
I have no doubt in my mind that in less than ten years,
people everywhere will know that only empathicalism can bring peace.
Peace through understanding is the only real...
Well, hello, how are you?
Just fine, thank you. How are you?
How long have you been in Paris?
This is Mr Avery. These are my friends.
How do you do, boys?
Would you mind if I had my own conversation with this lady?
- They don't understand English. - You were talking English.
It's hard to explain, but it's all part of empathicalism.
We don't have to communicate with words.
They understand me through the way I feel, and the tone of my voice.
- Sort of like a dog? - Obviously, you don't understand!
Who's buying the wine?
- I am. - I understand more than you think!
- If you're saying that the wine... - Let me show you something.
Gentlemen, may I tell you that you look like a mess of worms?
And that you not only look like, but you are, a mess of worms.
I'll bet you've been here all these years
because if you left, you'd be picked up for vagrancy.
- Bravo. - Your defence rests.
This isn't funny. You don't belong here.
Neither do you, which brings us to why I'm here.
Monsieur, you dance with Mimi?
No, thanks, I'm busy. Didn't Gigi tell you?
That's very rude, refusing to dance with Mimi.
Where I come from, the man asks the girl to dance.
You must come from the Stone Age!
We think freely here. If a girl wants to dance with a man, she asks him.
We're not inhibited by outmoded sociaI conventions.
I can see that. Do you ask men to dance with you?
Isn't it time you realised
that dancing is nothing more than a form of expression or release?
There's no need to be formal or cute about it.
As a matter of fact, I rather feel like expressing myself now.
And I could certainly use a release.
(discordant dramatic music)
(slow, moody jazz)
(fast jazz)
- Bonsoir. Vous étiez formidable. - Merci.
Well, you certainly made friends and influenced people.
They're empathicalists.
You talk a lot about this empathy. Ever do anything about it yourself?
I don't know what you mean.
- Why not throw some empathy my way? - I still don't know what you mean.
How do you think I feel when you don't show up for the job?
I'm responsible for you.
An empathicalist should feel me asking for unemployment insurance.
Show up where?
They've been waiting for you at Duval's all day.
I had no idea. Nobody told me.
We've been calling you on the telephone for hours.
I've been at the cafe all day. I'm terribly sorry.
Now, I don't want to sound like the personnel department,
but you ought to get to bed early. The camera picks up everything.
I don't want to spend my entire life retouching your pictures.
When we're finished, you can spend all your time making small talk.
Small talk? I suppose you think the neckline of a dress
makes for world-shaking conversation?
Anything you don't understand, you call small talk.
- What do you think of Flostre? - Don't change the subject.
- It's the same subject. - I haven't met Flostre.
You haven't? By now I thought you two'd be buddies.
You don't find Flostre in cafes, except on special occasions.
Not everyone interested in empathicalism meets him,
any more than every American meets the President.
An invitation to Flostre's home is a great honour,
and as hard to get as an invitation to...
The White House.
I don't think jokes about professor Flostre are funny.
No more jokes. But let's be friendly. We have to work together you know.
You don't have to be friendly to work together. Acquainted will do.
Am I supposed to go over to Duval's now?
I said you'd be there at 10:30 in the morning.
- I'll be there. - Promise?
I said I'd be there, and I will.
- Alright. - This is where I get off, good night.
Wait a minute. Don't go away mad.
Can't we walk and get friendly, or better acquainted, or something?
No, thanks. I've got to go to bed.
I don't want you spending your life retouching my pictures.
You are mad, aren't you?
No, I'm not mad, I...
I'm hurt, and disappointed, and...
..and mad.

♫ I didn't mean to start any scene to

♫ It's most immoral for us to quarrel
♫ Why can't we both agree?

♫ On the proposition that in union there is strength

♫ Come on, let's wake up
♫ For I need you, and you need me
♫ Let's kiss and make up

♫ I'll give you your way
♫ You'll give me my way

(beeping)
(mooing)
(Spanish music)
(chatter)
What are they doing? They've been in there for hours!
There was a lot to be done.
- They don't look happy. - They don't look unhappy.
I can't tell. Do they look pleased?
- They don't look displeased. - (Duval) Everyone.
- Maybe this is the grand finale. - I'm getting nervous.
- You should. - Sit down.
My friends, you saw enter here a waif, a gamin, a IowIy caterpillar.
We open the cocoon but it is not a butterfly that emerges.
- It's not? - No, it is a bird of paradise.
Lights!
Curtain!
Oh...
- Beautiful! I don't believe it. - Maggie, what did I tell you?
You look absolutely fabulous. How does it feel?
It feels wonderful, but it's not me.
The hair, the dress. It's perfection.
You see how much we accomplish when you appear?
Try to stay with us for a while. Duval shows the collection on Friday.
The night before, we'll introduce you to the press.
It is your great opportunity. It will be your evening.
- You will be there? - Yes, of course.
Dick, that gives you a week to photograph her.
I want marvelous pictures. Give me a lot of pizzazz.
Take her, and whatever you do, don't let her out of your sight.
Now, just do what I tell you. Don't worry about it.
Now here, hold these balloons high in the air, and when I say "run",
run as fast as you can and don't let the balloons go.
Run as fast as I can and don't let the balloons go.
Right. Now, ready?
Head up a little. You're so happy.
Alright, run!
Run!
What? Oh, why did I ever...
- What's wrong? - I don't know which way to go.
That way.
I'm sorry, I'm terribly nervous. I've never done anything like this.
There's nothing to be nervous about. You're in Paris, the Tuileries.
You've got balloons. There's a sudden shower. You're very happy.
- Why am I so happy? - Because I say you are.
That's all you have to know. You're happy. Now, run!
Great. That's great.
Now, stop!
Wonderful!
Now listen closely, today you're not happy.
- I'm hurt and... - Right, now you're a creature of tragedy.
Heartbroken, suffering. You're Anna Karenina.
Shall I throw myself under the train?
We'll see. For now, just wonderful, noble self-sacrifice.
Your lover has just kissed you goodbye.
You may never know that kiss again, or love again.
Marcel, put some tears in her eyes.
There are tears in her eyes.
Good. You're not only a model, you're an actress.
Jo, give me the works. Heartbreak, longing, tragedy.
Wet your lips.
Good. Alright. Now, la steam!
La steam!
That's great. Just like the movie.
Poor Anna Karenina.
No, not too much steam.
Cut down the steam. That's wonderful. That's it.
Good. Now give her some flowers. Flowers. Arms full.
Alright. More. More. More!
Alright, Jo, it's spring. You're in love.
Now, turn around. Fabulous!
(Tristan und Isolde by Wagner)
Now, you're walking out of the opera,
leaving to the lush passionate music of Tristan and Isolde.
- You're very unhappy. - What happened now?
A rendezvous at the opera. Two seats.
He didn't show up. You're furious.
When I say go, walk down with fire in your eyes and murder on your mind.
Wet your lips.
You're Isolde. You're a queen. Now, go, go, go!
You're furious at Tristan.
That's great.
(horn blows)
Today, you're just a simple little girl.
You live on the Seine river, and you're trying to catch a fish for your lunch.
Jo, fish! I want you to look like you're fishing.
I'm trying, but I've never fished before.
That's quite obvious. You might just as well be flying a kite.
Don't look like such an amateur.
You're just not fishing!
I am, but it's caught on something.
Well, give it a yank.
Pretend you caught a fish. Pull it out.
Marvelous!
- Here's what I want you to be. - I know. I'm a princess at a ball.
The bird is really Prince Charming, turned into a bird by a wicked sorcerer.
But we've decided not to let it spoil the ball
and to go on dancing as if nothing had happened.
You've outgrown me.
Alright. Now, give him a kiss.
He's your Prince Charming, isn't he? Well, get happy!
That's a killer.
Alright, Marcel, lights!
Jo! Jo, where are you?
Tell me when you're ready. Say "go".
I'm ready. What are you gonna do?
Never mind what I'm going to do. Just say "go".
Alright. Go!
Holy Moses! You look fabulous!
Look, stop.
Stop!
- I can't stop. Take the picture. - Stop!
I don't want to stop. I like it. Take the picture.
(children singing)
Alright, this is your wedding day, the happiest day of your life.
Bells are ringing, flowers blooming, angels singing.
The man you love more than anyone is inside the church waiting for you.
What's the matter?
I just feel so dishonest standing here in this wedding dress.
It's not the happiest day of my life. And there's no one's waiting for me anywhere.
But you weren't Anna Karenina. The bird wasn't Prince Charming.
- Please, Dick. - I don't understand.
Yes, I know.
Oh, mais quelle mariée charmante!
On ne m'avaitpas dit qu'ily aurait un mariage aujourd'hui.
Mais entrez donc.
I'm afraid you got us wrong Padre, we're not here to get married.
- Such a beautiful bride. - This is not my dress.
We're here to take some pictures.
Nous sommes ici pour photographie, pour la magazine de la fashion.
I'm sorry. Perhaps we should've asked your permission first.
No wedding? Aah, quel dommage!
Merci.
Jo!
Jo?
I'm terribly sorry. I don't know what's the matter with me.
Forget it and relax. We've been working too hard.
I suppose we'll be going home soon?
That's it. You're probably homesick.
Well, just this last picture, then you'll be through.
- And then what happens? - We go home.
And then?
What do you mean?
Will I see you any more?
And how! If you model, I can get you all the bookings you can handle
- We'd be working together every day. - I'll model.
Good. We'll put you to work right now.
Stand here, please. There's a good place. Fine.
Lovely.
Now, tip your head just a little bit.
Good. A little smile.
Jo.
Yes?
Something is wrong.
No. Why?
You're the saddest looking bride I've ever seen.
You look as if you've been jilted.
This is your wedding day.
The day you've dreamt of all your life. You're marrying the man you love.
The man who loves you.
He's the only...
And you're...
Oh Dick, I thought it would never happen.
I never want to go home. I love Paris!
I love these clothes and the little church. And I love you.
What did you say?
I love Paris.
That's not what I heard.
My, my, my...!
Well, what do you know!
♫ He loves
♫ And she loves
♫ And they love
♫ So why can't... you love
♫ And I love too?
♫ Birds love
♫ And bees love
♫ And whispering trees love
♫ And that's what
♫ We both should do
♫ I aIways knew someday
♫ You'd come along
♫ We'll make a twosome
♫ That just can't go wrong
♫ Darling
♫ He loves
♫ And she loves
♫ And they love
♫ So won't you love me
♫ As I love you?
Armande, let me see a breeze in the trees.
Not too much. I don't want a cyclone.
Fountains.
It's thrilling! It makes me cry for the Carolines.
The correspondent from Pakistan has just accepted.
The correspondent from Madrid finally will be able to make it after all.
And the man from the Istanbul press will be at the presentation.
Good. Now, where on earth is Jo?
Here she is.
Thank heavens. I thought you'd stand us up again.
- How did the wedding pictures go? - Wonderfully.
Yes, he's a marvelous photographer.
All you have to do is sit there. I make my speech to the press,
the curtains will open and you dazzle 'em!
- Give 'em the old pizzazz. - I'll try.
Afterward, I will introduce you to them personally.
Be charming and answer all of their questions.
- Well, what sort of questions? - It's remarkably simple.
I've been written editorials on it for years.
As one lady to another...
We ought to look like one lady to another.
They'll want to know who does your hair,
what you eat, drink, what sheets you sleep on.
You're the authority on how to be lovely.
What am I going to tell them?
Just listen and repeat after me.
♫ On how to be lovely
♫ You gotta be happy
♫ When you can feel light and gay
♫ Then you'll be lovely as a holiday
♫ On how to be charming
♫ You gotta be merry
♫ If only to weave a spell
♫ And you'll be lovely as a carousel, too
♫ I know you can show how
♫ It's all in the know-how
♫ And once you know, oh how
♫ The world looks good to you
♫ As it should to you
♫ On how to be lovely
♫ You gotta be jolly
♫ When you can be fancy-free
♫ And flash a smile that folks come flocking to see
♫ You'll be as lovely as can be
♫ Can't do it with make-up
♫ You just gotta wake up
♫ And starting to take up
♫ The life delirious
♫ Nothing serious
♫ On how to be lovely
♫ You gotta be cheery
♫ I'll give you a guarantee
♫ You don't need dough
♫ You don't need a college degree
♫ Make sorrow incidental
♫ Let joy be monumental
♫ And you'll be lovely
♫ You'll be as lovely as can be
Ah, beautiful!
Beautiful!
These are not my clothes.
They were Ient me for tonight. I'm being presented to the press.
Alors! Your picture will be in all the newspapers?
Oh, yes.
And they'll ask me all sorts of questions.
Oh!
I think perhaps you had better stay here with me, huh?
Hello!
Don't you remember me? Jo Stockton?
C'est Jo!
On vous a manquée, mais on n'a pas le temps de s'arréter maintenant.
Flostre part au café et on est déjé en retard. Au revoir.
What were they saying about Flostre?
That he is speaking at the café and that they are late.
Mr Avery will be by in five minutes.
Will you ask him to pick me up at the cafe?
Vous retrouverez tout cela
Á travers tous mes écrits sur l'empathicalisme.
La spiritualité inhérente á I'empathicalisme
matérialise les plus nobles aspects de la nature humaine.
Consciemment ou inconsciemment,
elle est perceptible dans tout ce qui nous touche.
Dans nos meilleures sculptures... Et dans notre meilleure littérature.
Pardon, monsieur.
Je suis... terribly sorry.
- I... - Quite alright, mademoiselle.
You're quite welcome.
Etudiez la statue un instant. Je reviens tout de suite.
Now, mademoiselle.
I can't believe it. I thought you'd be old!
Well, I mean, a philosopher and professor.
It all suggests age. I mean, maturity.
I'm afraid I've disappointed you.
Not at all. There's no reason why someone brilliant shouldn't be young.
I find myself at an awkward disadvantage.
You know who I am.
But except that you are very charming, I don't know you.
I'm so excited about meeting you, I forgot to introduce myself.
If only you knew how anxious I am to talk to you.
I came from New York just to see you!
You couldn't have a more loyal disciple of empathicalism than I.
- Than whom? - I'm sorry. I'm Jo Stockton.
I'm enchanted,... Miss Stockton.
And since you've come such a long way to talk with me,
by all means, let's talk.
(Jo) ..there's so much you can teach us.
(Flostre) I may go next year.
You must see Greenwich Village. It's our Left Bank.
People there think, and do things. Useful things.
- Do you live in Greenwich Village? - Of course.
Then I will certainly come. Perhaps we can do useful things together.
I'm sure that in all America there's no empathicalist
as charming as you.
Well, I hate to throw a wet blanket...
Darling, guess who this is. You'll never guess!
- Your brother? - Professor Flostre.
- This is Dick Avery. - Professor? I thought you'd be old.
- So did I. Aren't you surprised? - I'm overcome.
For you, my dear, I promise never to grow old.
- Come on, Jo. - What's the matter?
We've got to get over to Duval's.
Must you go so soon? I was just beginning to know you.
Couldn't I stay? The professor wants to talk to me.
- You've heard it all before. - Have you lost your mind?
- We'll talk about that later. - What are you doing?
I've never been so humiliated in all my life!
What's got into you? Have you any idea...
How could you be so rude?
Embarrassing me in front of Professor Flostre!
What am I going to tell him?
You're not gonna tell him anything. You'll never see him again.
- Not going to see him again? - That's what I said.
Now, just a moment...
I went through all this nonsense to meet this man.
So I could talk to him.
I worship everything he stands for. The way he thinks.
You might as well tell me never to eat again.
The man from Herald Tribune has brought a correspondent from Sweden.
- The more the merrier. - They are here, Miss Prescott.
Get them quiet, Duval. I'll be right back.
When a man looks at a woman the way Flostre looks at you, it doesn't take any imagination...
(all speak at once)
If you weren't so serious, this would be terribly funny.
I'll check the lights, then I make my speech.
Everybody, ready!
Flostre may be the quiz kid of the centure,
the greatest philosopher since Aristotle.
But he's also a man. He's more man than philosopher!
Are you suggesting that Flostre's interest in me is anything but intellectual?
He's as interested in your intellect as I am.
(fanfare)
Ladies and gentlemen of the press, my friends.
I have asked you here to meet the woman selected to represent
the most discriminating publication in the world, Quality.
Let's forget it and get this over with.
Forget it?
Attack Flostre and you attack the things I believe in.
We're fortunate to have found out these things now.
I'm certain you'll not be disappointed.
She is a rare creature... chosen from hundreds
for her appearance, her grace, her poise...
and her ineffable charm.
We can never reconcile our differences.
They are too basic and too elemental.
This is not the time or place to discuss our differences.
Please, let's get this show on.
Yes, the show! Our personal lives couldn't matter less, could they?
- Would you please sit down? - Leave me alone!
May I present the Quality Woman!
(fanfare)
(Miss Prescott) What does that one say?
All of them say the same thing. Everyone in Paris is laughing.
- I'm not. - I should think you wouldn't be, this is all your fault.
I know. I said some things last night I shouldn't have said. She got upset.
- Just a lovers' quarrel. - A what?
- You mean, you and that girl... - Why not?
Impossible! You're in the fashion world.
We're cold, artificial and without sentiment.
- How can you possibly be in love? - I'm a black sheep.
What about my collection? Without her I cannot show it.
- The gowns were sewn on her! - I'm facing ruin!
Don't worry, she'll show up. The girl has integrity.
She's filled with virtues. Only she's not wasting them on us.
I went to the cafe, but she isn't there.
So where is she?
She's at her hotel, but she won't take messages.
So I bribed the desk clerk into letting me copy her phone messages.
"At 10:15, Dick Avery called."
"At 11:30, Dick Avery called."
"At 12:16, Professor Flostre called."
Lousy, rotten good-for-nothing!
"Having an evening of international philosophy, poetry,
song and meditation tonight at my salon."
"Would be delighted if you would join us. Emile Flostre."
Obviously, that's where she'll be tonight.
Not showing my collection. I'm ruined.
I'll go to Flostre's tonight and bring her back.
And take someone who isn't emotionally involved. Like me.
You'll never get in.
Empathicalists have a very firm way of dealing with what they call hostile vibrations.
Let's turn into a couple of friendly vibrations.
Until we get in. As they say, if you can't lick 'em, join 'em.
- Do I look grubby enough? - Yeah. How's the beard?
- Full of pizzazz. - Come on.
Oui? Qui est vous?
Nous sommes voyager ici pour la meditation.
Quels noms?
La.
Ah! Monsieur et Madame Barker de Florida.
- Florida. - That's us. De Tallahassee.
Bon. Entrez.
- Come on, sugar. - Alright, darlin'.
- Où est Flostre? - Pourquoi?
I don't know. I just asked.
♫ On me demande
- (woman sobs) - ♫ Pourquois l'ai tué
C'est triste!
- What's the matter? - The song's a bundle of laughs.
♫ Un moment de passion engageante Je le détestais
She stabbed her lover because she hated him.
♫ Mais quande l'ai vu
♫ Mort, froid, et massacré
Now that the poor thing is dead...
♫ Tout d'un coup, je savais bien Que je l'ai aimé
Now that he's dead, she loves him.
♫ Ma téte éclate
♫ Je suis complétement dérangée
This kid's a little confused.
♫ Et maintenant
♫ Il n'y a plus rien
♫ Il n'y a qu'un seul reméde
Now she's gonna get even.
- ♫ Je vais mejeter sur la rue - She's gonna kill herself.
♫ Corbillard
(man) C'est tragique!
- C'est tragique! - You can say that again.
Hey!
Look up the airstay.
We're on the wrong floor.
Un moment, s'il vous plaît.
Suivez moi. Il me semble qu'ily a une erreur.
Ily a un autre couple qui s'appelle Barker de Florida.
Oh-oh, the real Barkers.
Now what's this all about?
- They are not from Tallahassee! - They ain't even from Miami.
I've never seen these people in Tallahassee,
and I have been in every corner of Tallahassee.
- Is this some sort of a gag? - I know who he is!
- Il est un photographer de fashion. - Fashion?!
She's a fashion editor. Get 'em out!
At once, or Mr Flostre will hear about this.
Now, wait, we're spiritual singers on a tour and...
Now the hostile vibrations have gone...
Attendez! We are ready for your show.
- Command performance! - Come on, Mama. We're on.
Let's give 'em the old pizzazz.
♫ Ring-a dem bells
♫ We is goin'
♫ Don't know where-a
♫ All we know is
♫ It's up there-a
♫ Somehow we gotta
♫ Climb that stair-a
♫ Ring-a dem...
♫ Bells
(rings)
(music moves up tempo)
♫ Come, all you children, gather around
♫ Gather around, you children!
♫ And we will lose that evil spirit called voodoo
♫ Nothing but trouble If he's found you
♫ If he has found you, children
♫ But you can chase that hoodoo
♫ With the dance that you do
♫ Let us lead the way
♫ Jubilee today
♫ He'll never hound you, step on the ground you...
♫ Children!
♫ Clap your hands
♫ Slap your thighs
♫ Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
♫ Everybody come along
♫ And join the jubilee!
♫ Clap your hands
♫ Slap your thighs
♫ Don't you lose time, don't you lose time
♫ Come along And shake your shoes time
♫ Now for you and me
♫ On the sands of time
♫ You're only a pebble
♫ Remember trouble must be treated just like a rebel
♫ Send it to the devil
♫ Clap your hands
♫ Slap your thighs
♫ Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
♫ Everybody come along and join the jubilee!
♫ So ring-a dem bells
♫ Ring-a dem bells out
♫ Ring-a them, ring-a them Ring-a them, ring-a them
♫ Bells!
(music moves down tempo)
Well, Mr Tallahassee, how we doin'?
Why, we's the two most friendly vibrations you ever seen.
♫ Hey, diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle.
♫ The dish ran away with the spoon.
Do you know why a chicken crosses the road?
No, why does a chicken cross the road?
- Why, to get to the second floor! - You is a genius!
♫ Roses are red, the violets are blue,
♫ the dresses is gotta be showed. Let's get this show on the road!
♫ Clap your hands, slap your thighs, gimme that beat, boy...

♫ When you hear that Dixieland, you gotta clap your hands
♫ Clap-a your hands
♫ Hallelujah! Hallelu... Hallelu...
♫ Hallelujah
♫ Come along and join our jubilee!
(applause)
(Jo) Intellectual gratification is imperatively nonexistent.
- Only you can fulfill that potential. - This is it.
- Flostre, there you are. - Professor, we need you!
What are you doing here? You look ridiculous!
We've come to see Flostre. Professor, Maggie and I need guidance.
We realize what futile aimless lives we lead.
- When did you realize this? - Today. At about two o'clock.
- Just after lunch. - Professor, don't believe them!
We want to sit at your feet and learn.
We sit at your feet, humble and ignorant, but so willing.
You two just leave his feet alone.
Professor, they want to make a fool of you.
- Are you trying to make a fool out of Flostre? - Who, me?
You're making things difficult. You don't own empathicalism.
It's in the public domain, isn't it?
- Why don't you trust these people? - Because I know them well.
I know what they're here for and it is not guidance.
Don't listen to her, master. She is but a child.
They came to see me, not you.
To get me over to Duval's to model their collection.
- I should have known. - You should've heard what he said last night!
If we'd come a few minutes later, you'd have found out for yourself.
You've said enough, Mr Avery.
Not yet. I haven't told you what a phony you are.
- Get out of my house. - I'm not ready to leave.
I think I can change your mind.
- Catch! - (Jo screams)
Oh! Oh, no!
Look what you've done! Bursting in here like a hoodlum!
- I never touched him. - Go away!
It's time your waking up to some of your responsibilities.
Will you please leave?
Duval can't show his collection without you, regardless what you feel about me!
You can't do this to him, or to all the other people involved!
Hundreds of people.
I'm not interested in your people, than you are in mine!
- Your empathy is a little one-sided. - Get out!
Alright!
I assume you mean me, too?
On you it looks cute, sugar.
Well, you certainly fixed everything!
If you can't lick 'em, join 'em and if you can't join 'em, lick 'em!
- Tell Duval I'm sorry, we tried. - Where are you going?
There's a plane to New York at 10:30pm and I'm going with it.
You can't do this to me! Come back!
How dare you leave me in the street like this! Taxi!
- Have they gone? - They've gone.
- And you're still here? - I'm still here.
Are you alright?
Well.
In fact, I feel wonderful.
I can't tell you how sorry I am.
I had no idea they were coming, or what got into Dick.
My dear, you mustn't assume guilt for something that was unavoidable.
They've gone.
You are here. That's all that matters now.
Nice of you to say so, but if it hadn't been me...
You have the most penetrating eyes.
I can still see them when I close mine.
- Professor? - Call me Emile.
Would there be any value in my contacting philosophers
in cities like Omaha and Detroit and...
and acquainting them with empathicalism?
Your mouth suggests to me burgundy velvet.
Dr Post, who runs a shop I worked in, has contacts in several universities.
Please.
Don't say another word.
- But I came here to talk. - We'll talk.
- Later. - Why don't I come back later?
But I need you now.
Professor Flostre, I came here to talk with a philosopher.
You're talking like a man.
But I am a man. And you're a woman.
That's not what I came to talk about!
My dear.
There is a magical moment waiting for us.
- Don't come any closer. - Why are you behaving like this?
- I thought you said you come from Greenwich Village? - I'm moving uptown. Yonkers.
But before you move...
I cannot keep them waiting any longer. I must make an announcement.
- What shall I say? - Tell them it was all my fault.
Maggie, where's Dick?
You told him to go and he went. He flies at 10:30pm.
Oh no, he mustn't!
I knew you would not let us down!
- You must do the collection! - Later. I've got to get to Dick.
- Later? We are so late already. - I want to help.
I know how you feel, even if you think I don't.
- I can put myself in your place. - Maggie, that's empathy!
That's what you've been talking about! Why didn't you say?
Get to work. I'll take care of Dick. Leave it to me!
Lettie, what is the name of Dick Avery's hotel?
- Le Savoyard. - Get me the number.
- Quick, how long before we can begin? - We're ready.
Messieurs et mesdames.
We are proud to bring you a new collection by Paul Duval,
inspired by the Quality Woman,
chosen to represent a great American fashion magazine, Quality.
We begin with hors d'oeuvre.
Hotel Savoyard? M. Dick Avery, s'il vous plaît?
(bell rings)
- Monsieur, your bill is ready. - I know. 352,428 francs.
- Merci, monsieur. Come back soon. - Thank you.
(woman) He doesn't answer, madame. I will give you the desk.
(phone rings)
Hello. Monsieur Avery? He just left.
Well, run out and get him! It's urgent!
Oui, madame.
I'm so sorry. It was too late.
(applause)
- Did you get him? - No. We'll get him at the airport.
- I can't find the number! - How are you spelling it?
- A-U-L-Y. - Orly. O-R-L-Y.
- You were there! - I'm just so nervous.
- Are you ready? - (Jo) Just about.
(announcer) Monsieurs et mesdames, Jonquille.
(Jo) I'm ready.
You can board your plane now, monsieur. Pleasant flight.
Thanks.
(loudspeaker) Attention! Attention!
Monsieur Avery? Monsieur Richard Avery?
Maggie, is there any news?
They promised they'd get my message to him before he got on the plane.
(clock strikes)
It's too late.
The clock must be fast. He just hasn't got the message yet.
I'm sure he got it. He didn't want to talk to me.
I don't blame him. I hurt him too much.
And now, the finale of the collection. Wedding Day.
What a beautiful bride!
Yes. Pity it isn't her wedding.
Professor!
Keep away from me, you!
If you lay one finger on me, I will call your embassy.
I want to apologize. She wasn't worth fighting about.
- Don't tell me I did that! - You?
You didn't even give me a headache.
She did this to me, with a statue that cost 200,000 francs.
- She did that? - I have 18 stitches in my head.
- She gave you 18 stitches? - And a gashed lip.
And six stitches in my ear.
Professor, I love every broken bone in your body!
Excuse me, Duval. Where is Jo?
She was magnificent! You should've seen her!
- Where is she? - I don't know, she was here...
Lettie! Have you seen Jo?
No, I... Oh, Dick, she was just great!
Maggie, where's Jo? Have you seen her?
She was here a while ago, but she's disappeared.
- Did she say where she was going? - I understand now.
She put herself in your place, so put yourself in her place.
You'll meet each other in somebody's place.
That's it! Maggie, you ought to be president.
I thought I was!
