aunt already well i'm on my way now i
dread it
it's bad enough meeting an aunt you know
with a meat one you don't know her
name's enough to scare me donna lucia
dalvadores that's not an aunt that's a
cigar imagine he doesn't even know what
she looks like it's not my fault she
went to brazil before i was born be
prepared charlie she's probably a
hideous old lady with suffragette
tenancies i wouldn't even bother meeting
her
well hideous or not she did all right
down there married son brazilian on his
deathbed and came away with millions
millions
uh charlie what are you standing here
for
how would you like it if you were a
little old lady and had a way to the
station all along
station don't bet charlie plenty of time
oh is that
now mind you don't miss her you know how
strict kitty and amy are if you're on
isn't there to chaperone them no
luncheon don't worry i won't miss her oh
i say jack do you mind if i borrow a few
of these i'm expecting some friends in
this afternoon oh i'm sorry password
we'll need every drop for luncheon oh
that reminds me i've got to be changed
well that's gratitude borrows my ties
and my sweaters the moment i ask for a
few bottles of shampoo
yes president i just ran into mr wiggins
my lord he'd like you to stop by his
shop and try on your varsity show
costume oh i haven't time for that now
i'll tell you what you do bracelet you
go fetch the costume bring it to my
rooms and i'll try it on later well it's
a bit of a distance me lord with a
bundle i'm afraid i'll have to take a
cab oh a cab of course
okay
uh just a moment i'll get it
oh i say charlie could you let me have
crown trees sorry dad i'm flat i'll get
it for
you jack hmm have you uh hop a crown oh
not a happening

thank you
here you are charlie oh thanks a man
here we are thank you charlie awfully
decent of you
the cam will be too chilly and keep the
change breath oh thank you
thank you
there you are
oh but that's such a bother sir
no bother at all
entertains college mikkel was time 1880
so far your records most admirable thank
you sir
yeah
my word you've been here a long time
people realize there's regulation which
says the student may complete the course
not less than three years and not more
than 15. but i'm only in my 10th year
sir
what is this
oh i didn't know she was married sir
when i said you were to be rusticated i
was wrong thank you sir you sir no
longer remember this university you're
expelled
but oh but please sir i must get my
degree you see i'm due to join my
uncle's firm in the fall hogarth hawks
and beverly the famous london solicitors
and they've handled several sensational
murder trials and i'm sure mr redcliffe
if you ever have occasion to commit
murder i i can get to the handle of your
case you cannot bribe miss her lord
beverly you're expelled oh no sir they
won't take me in without an oxford
degree it's it's tradition you know used
to thought of all that before you rang
the fire bill but i didn't do it
purposely i fell down the stairs i i was
unconscious starting from your
scholastic record i think it's extremely
difficult for you to determine whether
you're unconscious or not uh i assure
you sir it was an accident i tripped
i
i have witnesses but who are the
witnesses
well the charles wickham and jack
chesney we're coming chesney they're too
very reputable gentlemen
will they testify to that oh i'm sure
they will sir they were right there when
it happened and i i know i can refresh
their memory very well bring them here
at half past 10 in the morning they
corroborate your story i reconsider if
not thank you sir thank you so much good
day good day sir good day
they say 10 or half past
[Music]
my neck
so as your solicitor donna lucia i
thought it only fair to acquaint you
with the facts and i'm most grateful
of course i don't mind charlie falling
in love but as his only living relative
i do hope is the right girl
exactly
now i don't see that the girl is a
fortune hunter mind you but i wouldn't
put it beyond her guardian mr
spatinger's reputation is none too
savory if i could only meet the young
lady and
judge for myself i'd
suppose i want incognito splendid
yes but how would i get about unescorted
oh i can fix that i give you a letter to
my nephew lord fan court beverly and ask
him to show you around oxford yes
oh no no no
no that won't do
he's a friend of charles and he might
warn him but don't tell him who i am
say that i'm uh
i'm uh
mrs beverly smith ripley
oh
what's the matter
well i'm just thinking smith smith
rather an ordinary name for a firm of
our reputation to be connected with
don't you think
well how about mrs beverly smythe oh no
now that's much better
thank you thank you so
for jack
i say jack
oh jack
oh hello charlie did you meet my uncle i
mean you're on no she wasn't on the 11
o'clock oh well that's too bad i i hope
she i hope she's lost oh she'll probably
be in on the 12 15.
now bears that's not very sporting of
you you said i might keep it over the
weekend i did not besides i want to have
my initials put on well that can wait
till monday

i ought to bash your crump
you might have cracked the the letter i
say you are in the temple what happened

going to send me down what you'd think
young staffer would be sport enough to
admit he knocked you out he didn't knock
me out i tripped and i've got witnesses
to prove really who you and charlie me
i wasn't anywhere near the place and i
was on the cricket field you were both
sitting on the top step and don't forget
that in red cliff's office tomorrow

sitting on the top step exactly yes and
i was sitting in your lap oh stop
spoofing chuck oh i say charlie
you can't be there tomorrow morning oh
no of course uh i shall be uh dragging
my auntie about but charlie you got to
see the vice chancellor now look fellows

and death if you're not there tomorrow

won't take me into the firm
and then my family will send me back to
that sheep ranch in new zealand and when
i arrived there they're all be waiting
for me and calling to me who the sheep
35 000 dirty smelly sheep and every one
of them saying babs

rusticated my family kept me in new
zealand for two years if it happens

sort of thing
afraid jack for the next few years we're

just thinking aloud oh there's one ray
of hope though i
i think i have an appointment for you in
new zealand
wonderful place great sheep raising
country yes
i've heard all about it
say dad i have an idea
couldn't this all be settled by a
wealthy marriage oh no i rather dislike
that sort of thing jack
if i were you listen charlie wickham's
aunt donna lucia davidores is coming
here to lunch today she's a wealthy
widow no don't do it jack
i wouldn't advise your marrying just for
money but not me dad you me
you young devil
i'll get along son don't worry about me
i wasn't sir
i'm afraid i was being very selfish
what
you see dad i'm in love
frightfully
devastatingly
but without any money i haven't the
right
what's she like
oh she
she's like the stars the moon and the
sun is she now
sounds like the real thing it is sir
i was going to propose to it once a day
but
how are the sheep in new zealand
pretty bad
rather smelly too
what's the matter jack
won't you wait
oh i think she would sir but
she has a guardian um
your mother and i eloped under similar
circumstances
well of course at the time i had a
little income
yes an income can be a wonderful thing
it certainly can
how old is this uh
charlie's aunt oh i don't know probably
90 like most stunts
well
at 90 they don't bother you much
andrew is very wealthy they say she has
millions
i'm sure your mother would understand
hmm
well
i'll have lunch with you today oh no dad
i couldn't let you do anything like this
for me a loveless marriage but i am
doing it for love son
i think i'll run along get shaved
no man should propose on a full beard
ultra would be rather nice to have the
stars the sun and the moon for a
daughter-in-law what'd you say name was
jack

[Applause]
jack
she's not coming don't tell me that

kitty
you know i like you enormously yeah
some people might even construe it as
love mightn't they yeah
yes and well
when when two people love each other
they they become engaged don't they
yes
and i i thought that if oh you are a
deer to ask me jack
what's the use of talking
i'll be poor for the next few years
we'd have to live in the suburbs on top
and so here
well is there any reason why we
shouldn't
you know very little about me jack
do you think if i were in love being
poor would make the slightest difference
we won't be for long i'll work hard
i'm much too fond of you to let money
stand in the way
you are kitty
then
then then will i marry you jack
yes
oh
kitty
i did it
i don't see how
if i were a man i'm sure i'd never have
the courage to propose
oh
you are bold aren't you jack oh i
i'm terribly sorry kitty oh i wasn't
complaining i was nearly expressing an
opinion
you're so pretty

overexcited
oh miss amy
well don't look at me

this is so sudden
it isn't really is it charlie amy
what charlie i forgot about uncle what
about him
but what about my guardian mr spedicu
oh
i'll see him at once and ask his consent
and you must get it in writing writing
yes so that later he can't retract it
you don't know him as well as i do i
don't trust him oh but i couldn't ask
him to do a thing like that no
but don lucia could
donna lucia yes
mr pettigrew has fallen a complete
victim to her charms he'd do anything
for her
oh hello charlie where's amy you're over
by the gate oh i
i must go until then you
i've done it jack i've done it done what
told amy everything oh you're full what
for told her what tell her that i love

it

look boys i could never be happy with a
man like that i won't accept only
temporarily only until you can get his
written consent for the girl samara if

bring him along look when i have to use
myself as bait for an undersized
mackerel that's the end

afternoon i found him to be a man of
great charm culture intelligence
chivalry with affection and
understanding as a matter of fact i was
never quite so impressed with anyone in
all my life and i'd rather not hear

i can help you now thank you child
amen
and then then there's uh there's another
kind of coffee uh this coffee is grown

world we live in you know i have a
dressmaker who made this dress in six
weeks with one of those new sewing

my auntie was all right thank you very
much
well if they can tell stories i don't
see why we can
i know one of course it's a trifle
naughty
oh really
well please tell it yes yes
this is one that don pedro used to tell
uh perhaps donald lucy would prefer to
tell it herself
the tom pedro a dom pedro da fatores
your late husband
oh damn damn pedro of course i know his
name i can't remember his stories oh
please go on i'm so gonna see you both
mine no no no no not at all
well it seems as though don pedro was
walking through his coffee fields one
day when he came across one of his
workmen who was tipsy
the man had a girl in his arms and he
was kissing her
well naturally don peter was furious and
he said how dare you and the man said
what's the matter all your workmen do
this and don pedro said how can you make
a statement like that what grounds do
you have and the man said
coffee growl
[Laughter]
don't you remember the story lucia it
was one of dom pedro's favorites oh
perfectly i shrieked the first time i
heard it no that reminds me of a very
funny story
well what are you girls place
[Laughter]
well now gentlemen if you'll excuse me
i'm going to show donna lucia the garden
you've no idea how beautiful it is in
the moonlight
ah donna lucia we are alone at last
don't touch me i'm very very angry with
you lucille you wound me
don't say that but i do say it
it's the way you promised me to treat me
like this
promise yes the consent you promised me
in writing but i didn't promise
why stephen to think that you'd go back
on your word oh donald lucia
that'll do you no good until i get the
letter with my deuce steven
until you give me that letter all is
over between us
no
we can never be a part there is some
unseen something that binds us together
well maybe you're right
just the same i want that letter
very well there i'll go to my study and
write it but then
then will you say that you'll be mine
i'll say anything you like when i get
the letter darling oh
if you look you're no gentleman
now you may have been over a thousand
thousands dearest lucia tell me did you
hurt your back my back is fine now go
right there i'm going to be a moment
darling
so
uh
are you alone
may i sit down please
oh my what a dreadful smell of smoke
there is in here
yes i noticed it myself but there's
something burning in the kitchen i'll
i'll go see what it is no don't go i
want to talk to you
about your late husband adam pedro oh
let's not talk about him he's such a
cruel husband the dom pedro i knew was
so kind oh oh that's his father the old
pedro the the one with the beard oh oh
forgive my curiosity but have you any
children uh children uh only a few uh
men to speak up
uh a delicia
i'm surprised that you haven't acquired
the habit of smoking so many brazilian
women have you know
well uh confidentially i was just
puffing on a perfecto when you came in i
thought you might not understand so i uh
would you care for one every mile oh no
no thank you
you don't know what you're missing
oh lord beverly yes
oh is he here too
it's no use lord beverly i've known who
you were for hours
oh my goodness you you won't give me
away will you that all depends but this
wasn't my idea you must believe me this
whole thing started with sheep i mean
when jack and charlie invited the girls
to luncheon oh such a long story can we
go someplace where we won't be
interrupted of course
pardon me ladies first
so jack loves kitty and amy loves
charlie and i'm playing cupid and three
petticoats and that's the whole story
maybe you're not doing them as great a
favor as you think well i'm getting them
a letter of consent what more do they
want perhaps this letter of consent is
is merely a pretense after all mrs
pettigrew is obviously a fortune hunter
perhaps the girls are after money too
well that's impossible mr steady you was
against the marriages oh
oh he was of course the moment love
flies in the window his income flies out
the only reason he's consenting now is
because he thinks he's going to make
more money by marrying me oh please
don't do that
i have other plans for you
you have yes
when you join your uncle's firm in the
fall i shall insist that you handle my
affairs
wow
well in all difference to your uncle i
think it might be rather fun to have an
attorney who thought something more of
love's young dream than
just a a future alimony case
uh do you solemnly promise
to be my first client
i do well tell me
do you believe in love
at first client
oh you do
i do
lucia
donald lucille
[Music]

but of course i do you silly boy
[Laughter]
well i heard something it's my heart
makes an awful racket when i'm with you
let me be the first to congratulate you
sir
then you know
yes i know

[Laughter]

[Music]

changes his mind you stay here as soon

a kiss yes no no no no excuse me yes no

wanted you all present to share my
secret and my happiness
my oh donna lucia just to think of it
makes my heart pound and proud now
stephen remember there are others
present oh i'm sorry well you should be
yes it's just that love has made an
audacious boy of me again and children
cupid has found another victim
a good fairy has tripped in among us
bringing with her unexpected light and
joy
oh my darling

honeymoon yet
i've been duped
you
you imposter
who are you i'm charlie's not from
brazil where the ants come from what
give me that give me that dog
i'll keep it it'll do you no good
there's not a court of law in all
england that will uphold it because it's
addressed to donna lucia dalvadores and
has been delivered to demolish
it's quite all right charlie after all i
did my share of deceiving too will you
forgive me well of course well thank
goodness i shall have to call you auntie
