ROSE

This is what I ought to feel on stage...

Soaring up like snow-capped mountains...

I feel your beauty and your rage...

I could be those tumbling forests,

I could play those jagged hillsides...

Star of mountain,

Star of valley...



ALEX

Would Madam care for breakfast?

Will croissants and fresh coffee do?



Wonderful view!

Whenever we see those mountains,

We will think of me and you...



George insists on magnificent views.



ROSE

I think I should like your uncle...

 

ROSE

Alex, she's beautiful. Who is she?



ALEX

My aunt Delia. She was an actress too.



ROSE

Delia! Was she famous?



ALEX

Yes. But she died very young. That's why my uncle doesn't

Come down here very often. Too many memories.



ROSE

Haven't I seen that somewhere before?



ALEX

Not the one you're thinking of. That's in the Louvre.

George did that one. Some people call it fraud, but he prefers to

Think of it as a tribute.



ALEX (brandishing a rapier)

En garde!



ROSE (parrying with a tennis racket)

Fifteen love!



BOTH

Promise me today will never ever end!



ROSE (pulling out various tins)

Caviar! Anchovies! Peaches in brandy! We can have a banquet tonight!



ALEX

When he does get down here, George doesn't believe in having to rough it.



BOTH

I could get to like it here!

Let's not ever think of leaving!



ALEX

Look at this. Pierrot. Carmen.



For the ballroom? Or the bedroom?



ROSE

M?rim?e, "L'Occasion". I know this -- it's a wonderful play!



ALEX

Really?



ROSE

Let's do it. You can be the priest, I'll be Do?a Maria Colemenares.



ALEX

But I don't know anything about the theatre.



ROSE

I'll teach you. We'll do it. Tonight.



ALEX

"What are you doing? Pull yourself together..."



ROSE

This one is gorgeous!



ALEX (looking up)

It was her favorite dress...



ROSE

He must have loved her so much.



ALEX

Rose, leave things as they are...



ROSE

I can just see her...

I feel I know her...
