- How you doin' back there? - I'm scared, if you want the truth.
- You just gotta believe in yourself. - Thank you,Jimmy.
If l don't get this right, they're going to make me drive the taxi instead.
You can do it.
- Cut! - That's a cut!
Look what I've done!
Blake, darling, it's hopeless.
You will get it.
Can I please have an ice cream cone?
It's called Breakfast At Tiffany's, Audrey.
- Nobody eats ice cream for breakfast. - Well, I do.
Please. Please don't make me eat the pastry.
I'll tell you what. We will get you one without sugar.
- All right. - Be right back.
I'm so sorry.
See why I didn't want Hepburn for this?
She can't eat, that's why.
Marilyn Monroe is who I wanted. Marilyn Monroe knows how to eat.
Audrey's the nicest star I ever worked with.
I don't write " nice."
- He doesn't like me. - He doesn't like anybody.
Maybe I should tell him I like his books.
I do. He's a wonderful writer.
- What do you care what he thinks? - Because I'd like to make him smile.
If l can make him smile, will you give me a quarter?
If you can make Truman Capote smile, I'll give you a standing ovation.
Well, then it's a bet.
- Excuse me, Audrey. Places. - Yes.
Places!
Audrey! Audrey?
Audrey, where are you?
What happened to the sugar buns?
What happened to them?
She shouldn't be eating sweets.
Neither should you.
If you don't care about your own appearance...
think about the terrible example you're setting for Audrey.
You're hardly here. How could you know what's good for Audrey?
What kind of example are you setting? Joseph!
You spend more time with your secretary than with your family.
- I'm tired of this talk, Ella. - I'm tired of your behavior.
Leave me alone!
Here she is. Come out of there, darling.
- What have you done now? - This is no place for us.
Come on.
Forgive me, Audrey.
I had some bank business to take care of.
Would you dance with me, Father?
And where do you think you're going this time?
- London. - To have your mother support you again?
Can we talk about this later?
I expected you to run off to Germany by now.
I have been asked to head the European Press Institute.
What do they do? Distribute Nazi propaganda?
Information is not propaganda.
You're on the wrong side of everything, aren't you?
Please don't leave us.
You're supposed to protect us. We have a daughter.
I'm not letting you go. You can't go!
Leave it alone!
Joseph, you can't go! Please!
Don't try to stop me.
Joseph!
Please don't leave us, Father!
Father! Father!
When you're ready, first positions. First positions.
First positions!
Thank you, darling. You're so good to me.
- How's your little girl? - My princess?
She got a birthday coming up. Know what she wants to do?
She wants to go to a Yankee game.
I didn't know she liked baseball.
I don't think she does, but she knows I do.
It'll just be the two of us at the game.
Me and my princess screaming our lungs out on the third baseline.
Is she coming back to the set today?
She's already here.
She woke up at 5:00 to be with me today.
You know what she said this morning? She wants to grow up to be like you.
Just don't let her grow up to be as nervous as I am.
- Places! - Here we go.
Here we go.
Thank you. Thank you.
You're supposed to be packing.
I don't want to go.
Did Father say I had to go?
Your father has nothing to say about your education.
Or anything else, for that matter.
A man who hasn't called his daughter in five years doesn't have a say.
Maybe he's angry that I haven't called him.
Boarding school will be very good for you, darling.
You'll learn manners, independence and proper English.
Can I live with Father in London?
You'll live at the school, dear.
Your father will come to visit you whenever he can.
How will he know where I am? How can you tell him to see me...
if you don't know where he is?
You don't know anything about him.
Audrey, I don't understand his silence either...
but I know it has nothing to do with you.
When will I see you?
Will you come collect me for holidays?
Audrey, the simple truth is...
we can't afford for me to come back and forth as often as I'd like...
now that I've moved back to Holland.
I'm sure one of your classmates will invite you to London...
for Easter and the like, hmm?
Good afternoon, Baroness.
- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon, Audrey.
Good afternoon, Miss Rigden.
I trust you're not too tired after your trip.
Let's get you settled, then.
Hello.
I'm Clara.
How do you do?
I'm Audrey Hepburn.
I have to go to dance class.
Don't let me keep you.
I'll just get settled and--
Are you a dancer?
I'm not anything that I know of.
Isn't it beautiful?
Do you study dance here?
Of course I do.
Everyone does.
It is beautiful.
We'll begin with pliés in first position.
Hello, operator.
Do you have a listing in London for a Joseph Hepburn?
You have a Joseph Hepburn living there?
Joseph Hepburn who used to live in Brussels?
I'm his daughter. Could I leave a message for him, please?
My father is there? May I speak with him, please?
I see.
Your father was there, and he didn't want to talk to you?
They said he couldn't speak at the moment and would call me back...
but he hasn't.
I think you're lucky not seeing your parents.
All they do is complain, anyway...
and tell you how unacceptable you are.
My mother doesn't do that.
She tells me I can be anything I want.
I wish I had my parents in a glass case...
Iike in a wax museum...
all dressed up to go out, but never going anywhere ever again.
If I ever get married, I'm going to marry...
a man with beautiful hair...
who looks marvelous in his tuxedo...
and is utterly devoted to me and the children.
I'm going to have two children. One isn't enough.
I think being a mother must be the best thing in all the world.
I'm going to let my girls climb in bed with me...
whenever they want.
And one day...
our father will come home...
and we'll be so happy.
Very good, girls.
That was lovely, Audrey.
Could I speak with you a moment, please?
Of course.
Ready, girls? And--
I have just received this note from your mother.
After conferring with your Uncle Willem, she is taking you out of school.
Now that France and England have declared war on Germany...
she wants you with her in Holland.
But if there is a war...
wouldn't we be safer here than in Holland?
" Holland is a neutral country.
My cousin is a cabinet minister.
He assures me that we will not enter the war...
even if England is leveled by the bombing."
Do I have to leave?
I'm afraid so.
Your mother has already been in touch with your father.
He'll meet you at the airport and put you on the plane.
My father?
When do I leave?
Tomorrow.
British European Airways is pleased to announce the arrival....
of flight 23 from Paris.
Have you ever been to Holland?
Mother says they grow the most beautiful flowers there.
Please continue your dancing, Audrey.
It's very important not to stop at this stage in your development.
There he is. Father!
Paging passenger Orlens.
Please report to the information counter.
You're all grown up.
I've thought of you every day.
I didn't realize how long it had been.
Why didn't you visit me at school, Father?
I meant to, of course, but--
I'm sorry we couldn't have seen each other under better circumstances.
I am a British subject, yes.
I don't see why my papers should be necessary.
Ladies and gentlemen, flight 61 to Amsterdam...
is now boarding.
Is there a problem? They're calling her flight.
Your daughter may board the flight, but we have a few questions for you.
Any persons holding tickets for flight 61 to Amsterdam...
please report to gate five.
After the war, things will be better.
We'll see each other then.
Miss?
Time for you to go.
I love you so much, Father.
Good-bye, princess.
This will be the final call for flight 61 to Amsterdam.
All passengers, please proceed to gate five.
Come along now, sir.
Don't make any trouble, sir.
I 'll get you, Mr. Frown-all-the-time.
Cut!
And let's print that!
- It was perfect. - Thank you.
- You did it! - Did he see it?
- Where did he go? - Who?
Truman Capote, of course.
I don't know what you're worried about.
I just don't want to disappoint you. I don't want to let you down.
Audrey, that would be impossible.
You were beautiful.
Thank you.
- You remember my daughter Irene? - Of course.
These are for you. I chose them myself.
Thank you, darling. They're beautiful.
- Here you are. - Thank you.
- You're welcome. - Thank you.
In an act of unprecedented and undeserved hostility...
the army of the Third Reich has invaded Holland...
taking the entire country captive.
Radio Free Netherlands reports that the Dutch queen Wilhelmina...
after strong recommendations from her advisors...
boarded ship for London this morning.
Over the past two weeks...
battalions of German soldiers...
have occupied several cities, including--
You said Germany would never invade Holland.
I thought we would be safer here.
I was wrong.
There is no safe place while this monster is alive.
What about my ballet lessons?
Will we have to stay inside until the war is over?
I'm not staying inside, I can tell you that much.
No.
Your Uncle Willem is right.
In time, things will get easier.
We'll be able to move around the city.
Wejust have to obey the Germans till they feel they're in control.
All over Holland, there are small rooms like this...
where artists are painting and writing...
and dreaming of the world after the war.
And.
And three and four.
Pli?
Tendu. Pli?
Here you are, Hannah.
Thank you.
And grand pli?
And one...
and two.
Three and four.
We continue to strengthen our underground operations...
to disrupt enemy troop movements.
Will there be any flour this week?
There will, but we are destroying it at the border.
The last thing we want to do is feed the Germans...
even if it means starving ourselves.
God protect you, Hannah.
Mother.
Mother?
What's wrong?
Is it Father?
What's wrong?
It's Uncle Willem.
What happened?
A train carrying German soldiers was blown up by the Resistance.
The Gestapo suspected your Uncle Willem had something to do with it...
so they arrested him and five others...
and shot them.
Uncle Willem.
I'm so sorry, Mother.
Good evening, friends.
Thank you for your efforts...
during this difficult period.
The retaliation for the destruction of the troop train continues.
It is therefore critical that we alert our supporters outside of town...
that raids on civilian homes are continuing without warning.
I have repaired the printing press.
The material will be ready by tomorrow.
Good. We need someone new to deliver our message.
We can provide a bicycle...
but it will have to be someone whose presence will not be--
I will do it.
I want to help.
Ella?
Miss? Come quickly.
I have another job for you.
To market, to market...
to buy a fat pig.
Home again, home again, jiggety--
jig.
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down
My fair lady
I have a message for you.
Tonight, at midnight, go to the bend in the stream.
Then cross out to the marsh.
The raft will be waiting there.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Be careful.
You too.
- Do you live here? - No.
- What were you doing in the woods? - I went to meet my boyfriend.
And what did you do with that boy?
He didn't come.
He doesn't love me.
Please...
take these.
Your girlfriend will like them.
Thank you.
Maybe she's at the ballet studio or the school.
I've been up all night waiting for her!
Please, go home, Ella.
Our people are looking for Audrey. They know what they're doing.
I can't stay inside any longer.
You think the Germans keep their prisoners on the street corner...
for their families to claim them?
- I just can't-- - No, they don't.
They just wait for their families to come looking...
and then they capture them too.
Now, go home, and stay there...
so she has someone to come home to.
I thought you were--
You're burning up.
Mother.
German troops have retreated across the border in disarray.
Sources in London indicate the Dutch queen Wilhelmina...
will return to Amsterdam early next week.
Until then, Maastricht will serve as the center of government...
as Allied relief forces begin to filter across Holland.
This is BBC London calling.
- What is it, Mother? - I think you'd better come see.
Never in the field of human conflict....
was so much owed by so many...
to so few.
You've saved us.
What's an English girl doing here?
Do you like chocolate?
Chocolate? I adore it!
And we'll be showing a film later in the square, if you'd like to come.
We'd love to. Thank you.
Darling, you shouldn't be eating this chocolate.
I don't-- I don't feel so well.
Come inside.
She has anemia, asthma...
and acute colitis.
All these suggest very serious infection.
She needs penicillin.
Can't we send for it from Amsterdam?
She can't wait that long.
Moon River
Wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style
Someday
- Oh, dream maker - Where'd all this chocolate come from?
I've never seen so much chocolate on a set before.
Audrey buys it for the crew.
"You can never have too much chocolate." That's what she always says.
- What are we shooting next? - The song on the balcony.
Do you believe this? They gave her a damn song!
Call girls don't sing.
She doesn't seem like a call girl to me.
She was in my book.
There's such a lot of world
To see
We're after
The same
Rainbow's end
Waiting round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon River
And me
Are you sure you want me to sing?
Of course I 'm sure.
- Aren't you? - I suppose so.
After all, I didn't know how to do half the things I did in my life.
Shall we get to work?
How many girls is she taking? Do you know?
Kay Kendall. I haven't seen you around.
I'd like to talk, but I can't do two things at once.
If Madame Rambert doesn't like me, I don't know what I'll do.
Sorry. Audrey Hepburn.
- How do you do? - Are you from London?
No. I just arrived last week.
Some of us gypsy types are going for a coffee later...
if you feel like it.
I don't know what that is.
Gypsies or coffee?
We will have the first combination, please.
You were in Holland for the war? Why?
My mother's Dutch.
Was it very difficult there?
Yes, but my mother pulled us through it.
I was very sick at the end of the war, and she got cigarettes...
from the English soldiers and traded them on the black market for penicillin.
- She was very brave. - And very clever.
She saved my life.
She sacrificed so much that I could come to London to study dance.
If you need some quick money, you can always do revues in nightclubs.
Or do chorus parts in musicals.
That's what a gypsy is-- a dancer in a musical.
I don't want to dance in musicals.
I don't know how to do that kind of dancing, anyway.
You want to be a prima ballerina.
Anything else? Do you want to be rich? Do you want to be queen?
I know it sounds impossible...
but I'd like to be a great dancer...
and then retire, get married and have children.
Dancers don't have children.
And I'd like to find my father.
He's somewhere here in England, I think.
If I could just dance somewhere important...
- Like Covent Garden? - maybe he'd come to see me.
Oh, baby...
you are the biggest dreamer I ever met.
We need to get you a boyfriend.
I know I lost a lot of time not dancing during the war.
I don't know if you can catch up.
Please, give me a chance.
If you had to, would you give up everything to dance?
- I couldn't give up my mother. - You wouldn't have to.
And I want to have children...
but I can have children when I'm too old to dance.
Your teacher in Holland has written me about your situation.
And since she recommends you so highly...
I will give you a chance.
But it will not be on full scholarship, as you have asked.
It will be very difficult for you...
but if i don't give you the chance...
then the war has triumphed over the dance, and we can't allow that.
Thank you.
I just don't know if I'm good enough.
I'm not dancing very well lately, and the other girls are so beautiful.
If it isn't dance, it'll be something else.
No.
No, it has to be dance.
It's my life.
Wasn't there ever anything that you wanted more than anything in the world?
I wanted you. Does that count?
I'm only happy when I'm dancing.
It's the only time I'm not nervous about what to do with my hands...
or whether I remember everyone's name.
Audrey, you are a beautiful dancer.
You have worked very hard...
and I'm very proud of what you've accomplished.
That isn't what I'm saying.
What I mean is...
sometimes life has other ideas about what we should do.
Take me, for example. I am a baroness working in a restaurant.
It wouldn't have been my idea...
but I do feel very peaceful here.
You've made it look so much better.
What does Madame Rambert think about your dancing?
I don't know.
I'm afraid to ask her.
I have been watching you very carefully, Audrey...
and I regret to tell you...
that you have neither the stature nor the talent...
to achieve success as a prima ballerina.
I see.
Thank you...
for letting me study with you...
and thank you for telling me the truth.
Over here.
Oh, this isn't working.
Your jaw is so long.
Tuck your chin down a little.
I know I don't look like the other girls.
All right.
Your features are very distinct.
Your eyes are almost-- Were your parents Asian?
No.
Over here. Down--
Over here. Down a little. Relax your eyes.
Let's try and take a picture now, shall we?
Hold that.
Smile, please.
This isn't going to work.
Where are you going?
To do something else, anything else.
All right. Singing will be next. Back in five minutes, please.
It's better than modeling.
You didn't tell me I had to sing too. You could've warned me.
You don't have to sing.
You have to dance so great that Jerome Robbins won't care if you can sing.
- I don't know that kind of dancing. - If you don't need the job, go home.
Maybe Prince Charming will drop by.
All right. I'm sorry for sounding so ungrateful, really.
I'm just scared I won't get it.
You're not the only one Madame Rambert let go, you know...
but I think we have a chance of getting this...
if we keep a smile on our face.
Oh, good, here's Nicky.
He's the star.
- Kay, darling. - Hello, Nick.
This is my friend Audrey.
She's light as a feather. I like her.
Once again, please.
You can see the skinny one's eyes all the way to the back row.
All you'll see when she's dancing is my choreography.
All right. We'll take a break for a minute and try it again.
May I have your attention, ladies.
Mr. Robbins and the producers of High Button Shoes...
would like to thank you all for your hard work today.
If I don't read your name, you may leave.
If I do read your name, you may get lunch and be back in 20 minutes...
ready to start rehearsal.
"Collins.
Griffin.
Miller.
Parks. Allen.
Cunningham. Kendall.
Hepburn."
Thank you.
I got it.
What did I tell you?
A million girls tried out for this, and who got it? You.
And you. I thank you so much.
- Congratulations! - Thanks.
I'll see you at rehearsal.
Audrey, this is Marcel. He's playing the piano for the show...
and he's going to be a famous composer someday.
I'm very pleased to meet you.
I've noticed you dancing. You have such lightness.
And I was wondering if you'd like to join me for dinner.
She doesn't eat.
Well, then, do you drink?
Do you tell lies? There must be something we could do together.
I would love to misbehave, really I would, but I don't know how.
So what would you like to do?
Moonlight shadows
On a summer night
I kiss your lips
You hold me tight
We dream of tomorrow
Memories of yesterday
The wind in the willow tree
Sweeps our love away
I was watching you last night.
Oh, I wish I were better.
Half the time I'm on stage, I'm trying not to be seen.
Yes, I know.
But it is--
How do you say? Useless.
Do you think they'll fire me?
No! It's useless for you to try not to be seen.
You are too beautiful.
Oh, please don't.
All over the world, they will say this.
Even out of this world. Even in space, they will say this.
The man on the moon will say...
" Look. See the one with the long arms and the big eyes?
Isn't she beautiful?"
- What will they say about you? - Don't change the subject.
I'm telling you something important.
All right.
You have to let us look at you.
That's all we ask.
You have to let us look at you.
- Good show, ladies. - Thank you, darling.
- They're from Cecil Landeau! - Who's that?
The guy who produces all those nightclub shows.
He wants you for his new revue at Ciro's.
- Would I have to give this up to do it? - No. You could do both.
Revues start late.
Why should I give her a role in a movie, Cecil?
She can't dance nor sing at all.
I don't know what it is. Audiences love her, and so do I.
Where are you from, Audrey?
I'm half Irish, half Dutch, and I was born in Belgium.
If I were a dog, I'd be a hell of a mess.
I hate to ask, but I wonder if one of you gentlemen...
would give a girl a little spin around the dance floor.
- Here you go, darling. - So grateful, I'm sure.
And where's your family now?
Will I have the pleasure of meeting them some evening?
My mother has a new job working for a dressmaker here in London.
- And your father? - I haven't seen my father in some time.
Would you care to dance?
Delighted.
I am sick of love with you.
I was so jealous watching you dance with him...
I almost went to him and asked him for-- how do you say-- a duet.
You are laughing at me. You do not care that my heart is broken.
You do not ask for a "duet."
You ask for a duel.
If i kill him, will you marry me?
You can't kill him.
His friend Mario just offered me a part in a movie.
After you do the movie, will you marry me?
Darling, if we got married, you'd only grow very bored...
fall in love with another actress, and I don't know if I could recover.
You are the one who's going to leave me...
but that's all right.
It is my pleasure to be the first man to have his heart broken by you.
Unless I'm not the first.
Am I the first?
Do you swear I'm the first?
The first I've heard of.
Mother, wait till I tell you what happened.
One of Cecil's friends offered me a little part in a movie.
It's only one line, but he says it's a good one.
What's wrong?
Is something the matter?
You have a letter from the International Red Cross.
Did you write them?
I was looking for Father.
I thought they might have some record on him.
Is he dead?
What did the letter say?
I don't know what it's about. I don't open your mail.
He isn't dead.
Father isn't dead.
He was in an internment camp during the war.
What does that mean?
It's where they put Nazi sympathizers to keep an eye on them.
Don't they let them contact their families?
If he had wanted to find us, he could have.
- Then why didn't he? - Perhaps he's ashamed of what he did.
Perhaps he feels like a traitor.
Father is not a traitor. Don't say that.
Your father doesn't want us to find him.
The sooner you accept that, the better off you'll be.
How do you know what he feels?
You're right. I never did.
I am going to find my father if it takes me the rest of my life.
- You'll be sorry. - I don't care if I'm sorry or not.
I'm going to find him.
Here it comes.
This is a good line?
" Hello. Who wants a ciggie?"
Flirtier, cuter.
You're not selling flowerpots. You're selling ciggies.
Sexy, sweet-smelling ciggies.
Laughter In Paradise. Scene 56, take 2. Clappers.
Action.
Hello. Who wants a ciggie?
Young Wives Tale. Scene 32, take 4.
And action!
Good evening. What would you like tonight?
Lavender Hill Mob. Scene 1 5, take 1. Marker.
Action.
Oh, how sweet of you.
And cut. That's a print.
All right, everyone. That's lunch. One hour.
Kill the lights.
That was wonderful.
- Are you all right? - I'm fine, thank you.
Do you want me to be in your movie?
Lunch is more what I had in mind, but if it has to be a movie...
I'll see about arranging one.
Forgive me. I'm James Hanson.
How do you do? I'm Audrey Hepburn.
Who is that man talking to Audrey?
You know the handsome prince in the fairy tales?
Yes.
That's him.
- Did you always want to be an actress? - I'm not an actress.
Maybe someday I will be, if I work very hard.
I am having a wonderful time, though.
People keep asking me to do things, and I just pray...
that I get through it without embarrassing them too much.
I think you're better than you know.
And you,James...
have you always wanted to be a wealthy aristocrat?
When I was a boy, I wanted to be an Egyptian.
Actually, a pharaoh.
Oh, of course.
Racing chariots, building pyramids.
- Do you build now in your-- - Pardon me, madame.
I'm sorry, do you work at all?
My family's in transportation.
Are you saying you own a railroad?
Railroads and trucking lines and--
Well, if you wanted to move, say, the province of Ontario...
to the other side of Canada, you'd call us.
All right, let's have a look.
How about this one?
I borrowed that one for the opera last week.
Where are you two off to tonight, Buckingham Palace?
Just dinner and the theater. Sabrina Fair. Do you know it?
Voil?
The actress who wore this dress didn't have a clue what to do with it.
Slip it on, darling.
I'm eating oysters and caviar...
and things I never even knew existed.
Playing golfand croquet. It's like I'm in a dream.
The only thing wrong with him is he doesn't want anything.
Probably because he already has everything, I guess.
You never hear him say, "I wish I had such and such"...
or "If I only had such and such."
And you think this is a problem?
- Are you in love with him? - I don't know.
Don't take too long deciding. You might lose him.
Well?
The man doesn't have a prayer.
Excuse me.
It's only been a few months, but...
I honestly don't know how I can go on living without you.
Please tell me I won't have to.
I couldn't live here,James, not now.
Who lives here? I don't live here.
We could just come here when you needed a rest.
I'm not asking you to stop working.
Do a play a year, even a movie a year, if you feel like it.
Just marry me.
Will you marry me, Audrey?
I will.
How can you have a career and live in Yorkshire?
Surely he doesn't expect you to.
He says I can do whatever I like-- a play a year, a movie a year.
They'll say whatever they want to in the beginning.
He likes that I'm an actress...
but I know I won't work that much after we're married.
I wouldn't want to marry him and not live with him.
Just don't set a date. Please.
And stop fussing with that scarf. You'll be late for your audition.
The only reason I'm going is because Kay likes the director.
I could never do the role.
You can do anything you want to, Audrey.
No, Mother, I can't.
It says in the stage direction that my character is peeing from a port hole.
Peeing from a port hole? What kind of movie is this?
When the director finally stopped laughing...
he says, "It's a typo.
You're not peeing from a por thole. You're peering from a port hole."
So you're peering. Did you get the job?
- I got the job. - What?
They only took me because I could do the French and the English...
but I'm going to Monte Carlo.
Congratulations!
No, you can't go to Monte Carlo.
With that schoolgirl hair, oh, my, no.
- It's time for something new, my dear. - Uh-huh.
All right, bring it forward.
Why don't you tell your millionaire boyfriend to bring his boat here...
and take us for a sail?
- I don't tell James what to do. - Too bad.
But I can ask him.
All right. Again.
- Again? - Yes.
Very good. Now spin.
This is my favorite part.
- How was that? - Great.
But what-- what is this?
- What are you up to now? - Nothing.
Where did it go? Are you hiding it in there?
Where did you learn that? You in love with a clown?
No, but that's what I'm going to say the next time somebody asks me. Again.
Look at her. She's charming.
You'd give this all up for a handsome millionaire?
Yes.
I need to make a phone call.
Well, Miss Hepburn, I will be brief.
I want you to come to New York and play the part of Gigi on Broadway.
You can read for our producers next week in London.
- You mean a play, Madame Colette? - Mm-hmm.
- You want me to act in a play? - Yes.
Anita Loos, a difficult woman but an excellent dramatist...
has adapted my novel for the stage.
On Broadway! Oh, Audrey.
Oh, I'm sorry, Madame. There is a mistake.
It is an honor that you have asked me...
but it is impossible.
I wouldn't be able to do it, because I can't act.
You won't have to act anything, darling.
You are Gigi.
- You auditioned for two hours? - Who cares how long they kept her?
- Do you think you got it? - I don't know.
I don't think the producer liked me at all, but Colette does.
If she makes the decision, I'll definitely get it.
If he does, I don't have a prayer.
If you don't get it, I wouldn't worry. Something else will come up.
It already has. Who's William Wyler?
- Are you serious? - William Wyler is Hollywood, darling.
-Hollywood? -That's right. He's a big film director.
Colette may get you on Broadway, but William Wyler can make you a star.
What's the movie?
It's called Roman Holiday.
It's about a princess who escapes from her palace...
falls asleep on a park bench, and then Gregory Peck takes her home.
How does it end?
Does he fall in love with her? Of course.
But she can't marry him because she's a princess.
