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.
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.
Plié.
Tendu. Plié.
Here you are, Hannah.
Thank you.
And grand plié.
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 15, 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?
Voilà!
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.
Speaking of which, where is the divine Lord James?
All-England Polo Banquet. Does that sound right?
Ah, there's the life.
Audrey Hepburn, screen test, take one.
Could you tell us a little bit about what it was like after the war?
Well, my mother and I moved to Amsterdam...
so I could study dance again.
We tried to get back our lives.
Everybody was so grateful to the United Nations after the war...
for giving us food, medicine...
and other things we hadn't seen for years.
Thank you, Audrey. Now, let's try a little bit of the scene.
It's most unusual.
I've never been alone with a man with all my clothes on.
With my clothes off, it's even more unusual.
I don't seem to mind..
Do you?
An Azusa rose from a couch of snows...
in the Aquisaronian Mountains.
She's certainly beautiful, Willie, but--
Wait. The good part's coming up.
My instructions were to keep the cameras rolling.
All right. That's it. Cut.
Only the director has the right to say "cut" and he hasn't.
That was fun.
It's such a wonderful story...
particularly the tantrums the princess gets to throw.
Riding on a motor scooter, bashing the man over the head with a guitar...
and feeling so sleepy, you could just fall on the park bench.
Cut.
I'm sorry.
How did I do? Was that all right?
Does Greg Peck know she's going to steal the picture from him?
Not yet.
That is such wonderful news.
Yes.
Thank you so much.
You've got them both-- the play and the movie.
James, what are these people thinking about?
I haven't done either of those things.
They're not thinking.
They've fallen for you, just as I have. We love you.
But why?
It's not something you're doing. It's something you are.
Tall and skinny, with a long neck and big feet.
Precisely.
My first trip to America...
and I'm going to Hollywood and Broadway.
May I help you?
I hope that I'm in the right place. I'm supposed--
What's your name, dear? Audrey Hepburn.
Oh, good morning, Miss Hepburn, and welcome to New York.
I'm Joe.
If any of those bums inside give you a rough time, you just come see me.
Thank you,Joe.
" But, Grandma, I'm wearing my drawers."
It's not that funny.
No, we're laughing at your enthusiasm, my dear, I'm afraid.
It's bad form to start acting on day one.
We're just reading today.
As if we can't imagine what we're all doing here.
Okay, everybody, break's over. We'll continue where we left off.
Audrey, you cross up to your aunt...
and throw yourself into the chair in despair.
Mr. Rouleau, I keep forgetting. Which way is up?
Up is up. Upstage.
Where I am, dear.
Up is behind you. Down is in front.
Left is stage left...
your right if you are facing up.
To your aunt.
Did I say leap like a gazelle?
Did I say run? What did I say?
Cross.
Like a despondent schoolgirl.
No. She's not despondent. She's angry. She doesn't want to be a courtesan.
When you can act, you can give me direction.
Until that time...
you will do as I say.
I want to go dancing.
Somewhere very glamorous where we get in for free...
because rich old men want to dance with us.
Oh, and I want to smoke a cigar. I've never smoked a cigar.
How can you stay out like this and have anything left for tomorrow?
I can't bear for there to be a Fifth Avenue...
that I haven't walked on every night.
Then, too, if they end up firing me...
at least I have this beautiful city to remember.
Good night, Audrey. Good night.
Look at her. He's working her too hard.
Anita, it isn't what she does in the daytime that's the problem.
Okay, everyone. Break's over.
We'll continue where we left off. Act 2, scene 2.
Places, please.
I'm trying to do what he wants, but he gets so angry with me.
He says you're perfectly confident in French.
Yes. If only we could do the entire play in French...
I'm sure I wouldn't have any trouble at all.
Miss Hepburn, if you can't do the role in English...
we'll have to find someone who can.
It would be better if we work on voice and diction...
every day after rehearsal.
You look like you're about to faint all the time.
When was the last time you ate? Are you getting enough sleep?
Her picture is in the papers every day.
Every night a new club. How can she be sleeping?
The publicity is good for the show. That much I'll give her.
Can you give her another week, Raymond?
On two conditions.
One: That she gives up all her amusements...
except this show, until we open.
And two:
That you continue looking for someone to replace her...
in case she doesn't.
I'm terribly sorry to have caused so much trouble...
and I promise that you will not have to speak to me in this way again.
Hello, darling.
Hello, sweetheart. Are they treating you any better?
They're not the problem,James. It's me.
It can't be you. You're perfect.
I know it doesn't make any sense...
but I wish my father could be here with me.
When you have a show opening on Broadway...
a father's supposed to be there to share it with you.
I'm sorry, darling. I know it hurts you that--
The last time I saw my father was when he put me on a plane before the war.
Maybe he doesn't think he should be there.
When I have a child, I'm going to be there for everything.
Everything.
He probably understands how much trouble he could cause you.
I'd better get to sleep.
Good night. Goodnight, darling.
Whenever you're ready.
I have two new hats and another pair of high-heeled shoes.
What do you think of me?
Louder.
I have two new hats and another pair of high-heeled shoes!
No, no. Not every word louder, as if you're in a playground.
The important words louder.
The audience doesn't just listen. They watch you.
It is your face that tells them which words are important.
Like this.
I have two new hats.
Let your eyes sparkle on the word "two."
Two hats make this girl a queen.
And when the audience knows what "two" mean to Gigi...
they understand who she is.
With two hats...
Gigi can conquer the world.
Oh, and she does.
That's it! That is exactly the Gigi look!
With that look, you don't even need two hats.
Now, say the line again.
I have two new hats...
and another pair of high-heeled shoes.
That's right. Now the hats are beautiful.
But the shoes are pure sex.
Well, I'm afraid I don't know anything about pure sex.
Gigi doesn't either.
But when you...
tell him about the shoes...
you let him know that you're willing to learn about sex...
if he's interested in teaching.
Which, of course, he is.
But does every line have a secret meaning like this?
How will I ever get it?
You have good instincts.
You have a real desire to please the audience...
and just the right degree of unpredictable.
The audience likes a dangerous performer...
and your particular kind of danger is that it seems like...
you might be able to fly.
Maman, I have wonderful news. Tonton and I are going to be married.
Oh, Maman, please don't cry. Tonton, can't you do something?
Perhaps she could use a drink.
Andree, pull yourself together!
Yes, Maman. Would you like to sing something?
Andree, we're going to be happy together. Help us celebrate.
Yes. Would you please sing?
Thank you.
Well, see you at the party.
Raymond would fire her right away if he could.
Of course, if the reviews are bad for her, he just might.
Everything will be fine. I hope so.
Anita, the verdict's in.
Can I have your attention, please?
"The delightful Miss Hepburn...
obviously is not an experienced actress...
but her quality is so winning, so true...
that she is the success of the evening."
"A young actress of great charm...
who pulls the whole thing into focus."
"The acting find of the year!"
"Audrey Hepburn is nearly perfect as Gigi."
They hate the play, and they love her. Can you believe it?
Smile. That's it. Big smile now.
Just look at them, darling.
Do you know what a gift that is...
just to make people smile like that?
I'm trying to arrange it so I can be in Rome the whole time...
while you're shooting Roman Holiday.
Then we can be married before you start the Gigi tour...
if you do a Gigi tour.
Maybe you'll just want to rest.
I can't marry you,James.
Why don't you just enjoy your opening, and once everything calms down--
No, I don't want things to calm down.
I love what's happened to me...
but I can't have everything.
I was nearly fired from Gigi for spending too many nights out.
I have to be serious about this.
All I want to do is help.
Wouldn't it help if I was there all the time?
No.
If you were there, I'd want to be with you...
to make sure you were having a good time.
Pretty soon, I wouldn't be thinking about acting at all.
Then I'd be fired or not hired again, and I don't want that.
I want to see how good I can be.
I don't want to be the cute young girl forever.
I want my life to mean something...
and I can't do that and be married too.
I just know I can't.
Please forgive me.
If that's what you decide, I'll understand, of course.
I didn't know what I wanted, and now I do.
I have loved you as much as I can.
But I love this work so much, and that isn't fair.
Can't you just let me go?
If I have to.
Thank you, darling.
Audrey. Have you ever seen Capote talk to anyone?
He's always just sitting around rubbing his face, looking all depressed.
I don't think he approves of us, George...
but I'm working on it.
Can I ask you a question? About what?
About the character you've written, of course.
She's a call girl. I know that.
But she doesn't actually seem to have sex with all of these men.
So is it only some of them, or only the ones she wants to marry?
What do you think?
Well, I think she's a lot like I was in the beginning.
Which was?
Afraid to let somebody know how little I knew.
Roman Holiday, scene 52, take 3. Marker.
Cut!
That wasn't so bad, was it? Oh, I'm having such a good time.
Really I am.
See, it's easy to look like you're having fun in the movies.
Just open your eyes as wide as you can...
stare straight ahead and hang on for dear life.
I love making movies even more than I love watching them...
and I love watching them.
And I love seeing it all through your eyes.
I haven't had so much fun on a movie in years.
The first night our town in Holland was liberated...
they set up a big screen in the middle of the street and showed us a movie.
And do you know what it was about?
War. And you know what?
We liked it. We loved it.
The papers said what?
They said you and Gregory Peck...
were having an affair during the filming.
But it isn't true.
Can't someone tell them that it isn't true?
You're going to have to be very careful now, Audrey.
Don't tell anyone anything you don't want to read on the front page.
Just keep smiling until we get to the front.
Miss Hepburn, how does it feel to be playing the lead in your first movie?
Before I introduce Audrey to you...
I want to introduce all of you to Audrey.
My dear, these people standing up front are reporters.
The ones standing at the back are bankers and lawyers.
And those people over in the corner kicking themselves...
are the studio executives...
who did not hire you to a 100-year contract.
Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Audrey Hepburn.
How's it going, princess?
You have my permission to withdraw.
Is it true your next picture is Sabrina?
Yes, it is.
I asked the studio to buy it for me, and they did.
Isn't that amazing?
But the best part is that I get to fly to Paris to pick out the clothes.
What do you think of all these girls cutting their hair to look like you?
Well, I can only hope that the haircut...
works as well for them as it has for me.
Miss Hepburn, your parents must be very proud. Are they here?
My mother is right over there.
Where? Where?
And your father?
Is he proud?
My father is a man that likes to keep his feelings to himself.
Next question.
Bye-bye. Bye.
Audrey, I'd like you to meet a great friend of mine.
This is Mel Ferrer, a wonderful actor and director.
Oh, what a pleasure. The pleasure is all mine.
You were wonderful in Lili. I haven't seen the new movies.
Well, you'd better start watching.
You're going to be very big in pictures.
That's what I keep telling her.
Sabrina is perfect for you. Who's playing the smart brother?
Bogie.
He doesn't really like beautiful women.
Maybe next time I'll get the chance to be the lucky leading man.
Well, now I'm the one dreaming.
Ready, darling? Yes.
Good night, gentlemen.
Talk to you soon, Greg? It really was a pleasure.
Katharine, darling.
I'm sorry to disappoint you, Monsieur Givenchy.
I'm Audrey Hepburn.
Please forgive me.
They told me Miss Hepburn the film star was coming to see me.
Whowould have known there were two such lovely women?
Let's get to work, shall we?
I like the pink. It's my favorite as well.
The rest of them don't understand the pink, but we are right.
It is sublime.
You don't think it will make my neck look too long?
There is no such thing as "too long."
Not in legs, not in necks-- Not in life?
My dear Audrey, I think you are more beautiful inside than out.
Maybe a very small hat.
Maybe a large hat...
and large sunglasses.
I love it.
But I'll be riding in a convertible. I can't be holding onto my hat.
Then we will save it for another film.
Here is your small American convertible hat.
I think I have to have a small dog to go with this hat.
We shall make you the princess of the ball.
It's magnificent.
Oh, dear, look at him.
Don't be afraid of Bogart. Not him. The other one.
Holden, yeah. He's the one to be afraid of, all right.
What's he doing? He's coming to open your door.
- I can beat him to it if you want me to. - No, you stay right where you are.
Good afternoon.
My God, look at you.
Hello there.
Come on. I'll introduce you to the gang. We're having a little party.
Let's get a drink. What will it be?
Whiskey. Two whiskeys.
They're watching us.
Let them watch.
You've never been kissed?
Not by a married man in the middle of a party.
Well, then, let's get out of here.
No. You stay, and I'll leave while I still can.
So, Audrey, did you make it all right up the tree?
I did.
When we make the shot tonight, can you get up there faster?
I can.
Gretchen, I need to talk to you.
Tell me how the hell I can romance that ridiculous girl...
when you're watching from a tree?
I won't look if you don't want me to.
Aw, stay there. I can't get you out of my mind, anyway.
Say, what are you doing tonight?
I'll have to ask Mother.
Ask her if you could spend the night with me.
Actually, I know the answer to that, thank you.
How could you say such a thing?
I'm crazy for you, baby. I'm not giving up no matter what you say.
Bill, I need you over here, please.
He's quite handsome...
in an American sort of way.
And I'm falling in love with him.
I'm trying not to.
He's married. I know he's married.
And I know what they say, that he has a girl in every movie...
but he's not that way with me.
What about your career?
When I'm with him, I don't even think about my career.
I just feel happy and light.
I want to feel like this forever.
Isn't this the way you felt about James?
James was dear and very good to me, but Bill...
he makes my heart stop.
Okay, five-minute warning, everyone. Stand by.
Stand by. Five-minute warning. Thank you.
Okay, everybody, clear the frame, please.
If I didn't have to finish this movie, I would drop dead right now.
Well, that isn't necessary.
For as long as I live, I will never see anyone more beautiful...
than you are at this moment.
I am hopelessly in love with you, head over heels.
Every cliché in the book.
What do I have to do to have a chance with you?
Audrey, Bogie, stand by.
How could I kiss Bogie now after what you've just said?
Bill, I need you out of there.
Ready to roll. Getting ready to shoot now.
All right, people. Let's go. Everyone in place, please.
All right, quiet down.
Come on, now. Be ready.
Okay, everybody. Here we go.
Sabrina, scene 44, take 3.
Action.
If David were here, he'd kiss you right now.
Yes, he would.
It's all in the family.
What's the matter with Bogie?
The most beautiful girl in the world...
and it looks like he has to force himself to kiss her.
Cut.
What? I love this movie.
I catch myself pretending sometimes that it's not a movie...
that it's real life.
I've just returned from Paris with my cute little dog...
my father lives in the garage over there...
and you, you're in love with me.
How would you like the movie to end?
I'd marry you. We'd have a house full of children, live happily ever after.
It's not that your brother isn't nice.
I could never love him the way I love you.
You could marry me if you wanted to.
Do you think they'd rewrite the movie?
No. Not in the movie. In Reno or Las Vegas.
Wherever I get my divorce.
A divorce?
You would get a divorce?
I wasn't kidding, Audrey.
I want you.
I want you to marry me.
I love you, Audrey.
Say that you'll marry me.
Say that I'm not dreaming. Are you playing with me?
Is that a yes? It's a yes.
And a yes and a yes.
It will be so beautiful...
our days and our nights.
Our work and our holidays. Our friends and our children!
Who needs friends or children? I don't want to share you with anybody.
You're right about the friends...
but a couple of children wouldn't be too much.
They're so noisy...
and they're always around when you don't want them to be.
Think about what our children would look like.
Me holding a little boy in my arms that looks just like you.
I can't do it, Audrey.
I can't have any more children.
What do you mean?
I had a vasectomy a couple of years ago.
Can't you do something?
No, it's irreversible.
What?
Talk to me. I had better go home.
You're not going anywhere.
I need to.
We can still have children...
just not my children.
My children would probably be drunks, anyway.
I have to go before I say something that I will probably be sorry for.
"Sorry for"? Say it. Whatever it is, we'll work it out.
It wouldn't be a real marriage without children.
I want to be a mother.
You can't walk away from me because of something like this.
I'm in love with you.
I got you off that shelf you've been sitting on.
Don't use this children thing as an excuse to get back there!
Look at me!
I have to go.
Audrey, no.
Audrey!
It's very hard, telling someone good-bye...
even when you know you're doing the right thing.
If I didn't have children...
I wouldn't know I was alive.
I didn't particularly want children till I had you.
You've given me the greatest joy I've ever known.
You are the love of my life, and I want that for you.
I want you to have a child.
I know.
You have no idea how you'll get through this.
But in the morning, you'll see.
You will.
Now, why don't you go to bed. Try to rest.
I'll bring you some tea.
Thank you.
Bonjour, mademoiselle.
I think just the sight of you will do.
As a matter of fact, I'm feeling better already.
Mel Ferrer. I know who you are.
Please, come in.
Your French is beautiful. Ah, yeah.
My mother thought it was important...
and I'm beginning to think she was right.
Forgive me just showing up at your door like this.
I tried to convince the studio to throw another party...
so I could meet you again, but that seemed a little extreme...
so I brought you a play.
A play.
It's a wonderful play. You should do another play.
Keep the Hollywood girls on their toes.
Congratulations on Sabrina, by the way.
Everyone who's seen it says you're the best thing in it.
Thank you.
Well, I'll make us some tea...
and then you must tell me everything that you've done...
since I saw you last.
It's Cuban and Chinese.
Growing up in New york, I think I ate it every day.
Of course, now that I'm an adult, every other day.
The wine is wonderful.
I suppose I should get going. No.
Do you have to?
Yes, I do.
I want to give you time to read that play...
so you can phone me in the morning and tell me what you think.
Is it a romantic play?
It's about a water sprite...
that falls in love with a human man.
Please stay.
Sounds like such a wonderful story.
All right, if you insist.
We'll read it through once...
see what you think, and then if you like it, we can...
do it on Broadway with Alfred Lunt directing?
Alfred Lunt. What a wonderful idea.
It's more than an idea.
He'll do it, if you will. I have that in writing.
It's by Giraudoux.
"And in the end, I shall do it, but first...
first we shall wait a long time.
An hour.
Then, in years to come, we shall have this hour always to remember.
The hour before you kissed me."
It's wonderful. You're wonderful.
God. It's like it was written for you.
I'll take care of everything.
I'll fight all your battles, I'll slay all your dragons...
and all you have to do is be your own lovely self on stage.
Say you'll do it.
I'll do it.
Thank you.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, please.
Let's work on this armor business.
Alfred, I'm thinking...
I could release the armor when she comes to embrace me.
No, the play says that the armor falls off...
immediately after she says the line.
What is the line? Right, but hear me out.
I think it would be much funnier if she said the line...
from where she was standing--
Say the line.
I have a way of removing armor.
Came around behind me...
and mysteriously the armor...
falls off.
I don't think we can rewrite the play, Mel.
Let's try to get it to work as written.
My name is Ondine.
The King of the Sea said ifl ever kissed you, I would be lost.
Are you thinking of it?
Very much.
Well, there's no harm in thinking.
It's going very well tonight.
I can't watch.
I could never watch the opening of any of my plays.
Mr. Lunt, Audrey looks exhausted.
How long do you think the play will run?
I think the critics will determine that.
I'm afraid Mel will try to keep her in it until she drops dead.
Yes, well, putting up with Mel...
is the price you have to pay for having Audrey.
Bravo! Bravo!
They love it.
They love her!
Well done, Alfred. Got a real hit on your hands.
I love you too.
I'm sorry I fell asleep so fast last night.
I wanted to thank you for making this experience perfect for me.
I got another bouquet for you, Miss Hepburn...
and this telegram just arrived.
Thanks, Frankie.
You're gonna need a special room just to keep all these flowers, Miss Hepburn.
Smells great, though.
Better make that two rooms, Frankie.
Miss Hepburn has just been nominated for an Oscar.
An Oscar!
And the nominations for Best Actress...
in a feature motion picture are:
Audrey Hepburn for Roman Holiday.
She looks tired.
I know. Leslie Caron for Lili.
I'd take her away for a rest...
but the press is accusing me of being a Svengali...
controlling her every move.
So now they have the idea that she is very weak.
Deborah Kerr for From Here To Eternity.
It would be easier to take her away if you'd let me marry her.
You don't need my consent to marry her.
Have you asked her?
Ava Gardner for Mogambo.
I'm going to.
Tonight, at the party.
She wants children, you know.
Are you prepared to have more children?
As many as she wants.
And Maggie McNamara for The Moon Is Blue.
Here we go.
And the winner is...
Audrey Hepburn for Roman Holiday!
I'd Iike to thank my mother...
who taught me to stand up straight...
sit erect, use discipline with wine and sweets...
and only smoke six cigarettes a day.
I hope the two of you will be very happy.
I promise you, Ella...
I will take care of her for the rest of her life.
Those reporters have followed us all the way from the chapel.
I'm sorry, darling. I don't know how they found us.
Don't they understand that this is a very private day?
Let me do the talking.
Miss Hepburn!
Yes, we were married this morning in Burgenstock.
We intend to make our home here in Switzerland.
It was just a private ceremony for family and friends.
Thank you so much for your best wishes.
Now, please, the roads are narrow. Drive carefully.
That's all, gentlemen.
I love it here so much.
Another week, and I'll turn into a country housewife.
The most radiant country housewife in history.
Why don't we both stop doing movies for a while and just enjoy each other?
Are you kidding? Nothing would make me happier.
But your fans would kill me if I kept you all to myself. You know that.
I want to have a baby.
I want to see what our babies look like. I want to hold them.
Right away? Right away.
All right. I guess I'll have to tell Fred Astaire no.
Fred Astaire?
It's called Funny Face.
Shooting all over Paris, even inside the Louvre.
Oh, but I haven't danced in such a long time.
I know.
Still, it would be wonderful to film in Paris.
Do you think I could do it? I know you could.
Well, then tell them I would be honored to do it.
Unless I get pregnant, and then some other lucky actress...
will get to dance with Fred Astaire.
What are those?
The contracts for the other two films you've been thinking about.
Nun's Story and Love In The Afternoon.
Well, I have to do Love In The Afternoon.
I promised Mr. Cooper I would.
Sweetheart, I think you can call him Gary.
And I want to do The Nun's Story to be in Africa...
when you're scouting locations for your movie.
I don't think that's the only reason to do it.
Well, no, of course not.
I want to do a serious role. I'm ready.
Of course you are.
But how can I get pregnant if I'm working all the time?
Let's just assume from here on in...
that any time you're shooting a film, I'm there.
That is, you know, unless you say no.
Why would I do that?
The only man that I want to say yes to is you.
The Nun's Story, scene 42-apple, take 5. Marker.
Audrey, I have a lovely surprise for you.
Audrey Hepburn, meet Marie Louise Habets...
the former Sister Luc.
How do you do? It's such an honor to finally meet you.
Miss Hepburn, I share the honor.
I am very nervous about playing you.
I hope that I will be able to help people understand you and your work.
Thank you very much.
I was just on my way to the clinic--
the real one.
Would you like to walk over with me?
Go ahead. We won't be ready here for an hour.
I'd love to. Please, lead the way.
How many children are treated here?
Very few, actually, compared to the thousands who need help.
There are whole continents of sick children.
Their parents are no better off, struggling to care for them.
Yet, not enough people seem to notice.
I honestly didn't know how desperate the situation was.
It's so unfair that the children have to start their lives like this.
Do you plan to have any children of your own?
We want them very much, but so far, no luck.
I think the children will come when it's time.
Rest is all that you need.
I have another film to do after this in Mexico.
Maybe then I'll take some time off.
I see that you have a very full life.
Throughout so much of my life...
people have come along to take care of me as if I were a little girl.
But you seem so comfortable with yourself...
and so comforting to others.
Maybe I'm finally learning how to look after myself.
But the children...
the ones who live here.
They're the ones who really need the help.
Hello.
I missed you. Zinnemann.
I'm so happy you came to see me.
Look at you. I hear the rushes look terrific.
I feel so peaceful here.
Sister Luc tells me you're wonderful with the children.
I never wonder what I'm doing here.
I'm sure it must make the world of movies seem less important.
Yes.
Sometimes I feel like I'm nothing more than a show horse...
all tricked out in fancy ribbons, being led around a ring.
Audrey, the audience doesn't feel that way.
They think you're up there just to make them happy...
and the miracle is, you actually do.
Sweetheart, you've given a whole generation of girls...
a sense that something else was possible in life.
Thin girls.
Maybe you don't know what a difference you've made.
But no, no, it's not just "thin girls."
It's all of them--
young women who want more...
who want to be able to speak their minds...
who've always known there was something they were supposed to do.
They all look up to you.
You took what you had, and look what you made of it.
And that...
that is your real gift.
I have missed you so much.
Nobody talks to me the way you do.
As we reported earlier, Audrey Hepburn, beloved star of stage and film...
was thrown by a horse today while shooting a John Huston film...
in Durango, Mexico.
Miss Hepburn is reported in critical but stable condition...
with neck and back injuries, and will be flown home for treatment later today.
Sources close to Miss Hepburn report that she 's several months pregnant...
with her first child.
Audrey Hepburn 's husband, actor and director Mel Ferrer...
flew to Mexico to accompany her back for treatment.
The doctor says the baby is in no danger.
The heartbeat is normal, movement is normal.
Now all we have to do is convince Audrey to relax.
Oh, darling!
I've been so worried!
I'm so glad you're here.
Where else would I be when you need me?
Sweetheart, you shouldn't be doing this now.
Let's send the mail home so you can get rest.
Yes. You should be taking it easy now.
When do I ever get to lie around and read my mail?
I'm going to answer every piece.
Besides, Caroline's doing most of the work.
What?
What is it?
It's from my father.
"I fear that you haven't...
received my other letters...
because you've never answered.
Still, I don't know what to do except continue to write them."
What other letters?
Mother?
Did Father send me other letters?
Yes.
You kept his letters from me?
You kept his letters from me.
I didn't want him to hurt you.
How could he hurt me? He's hurt everyone he ever knew.
Why would he try to get in touch with me only to hurt me?
You're just jealous.
I'm not jealous. I was trying to protect you.
You had no right to do this.
Don't get in touch with him. Don't tell me what to do.
He hasn't given up his politics. He never will.
He's an old man now, Mother. What could he do?
He could hurt your career. You're wrong.
He could blame you for the fact that he left us.
He could twist it all up and make it all your fault. You don't understand.
What's the matter, darling?
I don't know.
The baby. No, please, don't let it be the baby.
I'll get a doctor.
Doctor!
Mother?
Nurse? Is somebody there?
Doctor! Can someone help us, please? Mother!
Doctor!
Hello, Father.
Well, you best come in.
I wanted to say thank you...
for writing to me.
I only wish I had received your letters.
Your mother never-- She didn't want me to talk to you.
I don't have any sugar.
I don't take sugar.
Thank you.
Well-- I'm so happy to see you.
I'm not proud of what I did, Audrey.
Leaving you, I mean. I don't hold it against you.
I've just missed you so much.
You couldn't have missed me that much. You hardly knew me.
Well, you didn't know me very well either.
Didn't you miss me?
Your husband told me you lost the baby.
I did. Yes.
I told him you shouldn't have ridden that horse.
The script required it.
Arabians don't like women. They only trust men.
Your fancy cowboys should have known that.
You never should have ridden it. I'm all right now.
The doctor says that we can have another baby.
If there's something that you need to be doing...
go ahead.
I'm fine just sitting here.
All right, then.
Come on, boy.
Come on.
What's his name?
Otto.
I have a dog.
They say the intelligence level of dogs is that of a two-year-old child.
I think they know much more than that.
They certainly know how to get your attention.
Cats too.
I had a cat in London...
when I was first trying to work there.
I called him Tomorrow.
And whenever I had a day full of humiliating rejections...
I would pick up that cat and I would say...
" Everything is going to be all right, Tomorrow."
Thank you for seeing me.
You're my daughter.
Would you please come and visit us in Switzerland?
You can bring Otto if you like. I could send you a ticket.
No, no. It's too far for me now.
I best just stay here.
I don't like to leave the place with nobody to watch it.
Well, then I'll just have to come back and visit you.
You don't have to do that.
But I want to.
I'm not cut out to be a father, Audrey.
I wasn't then, and I'm not now.
Why don't you want to see me?
The whole world loves you, Audrey.
You don't need me.
Good-bye, Father.
Good-bye, Audrey.
I'm sorry I thought such terrible things--
that I said such terrible things.
I'm sorry he hurt you.
I should have listened to you. It's all right.
Perhaps I was wrong to try to protect you from him.
I just thought if I could see him--
What happened to him?
I don't know.
It's as if he stepped onto a moving sidewalk and it took him away.
I'm going to keep trying to have a baby.
Good. I'm glad.
I think Mel wants me to wait a little while.
The studio wants me to do another movie right away.
What are you going to do?
I'm going to have a baby.
Name this child.
Sean.
Sean, I baptize thee in the name of the Father...
and of the Son...
and of the Holy Ghost.
Amen.
My child.
I just got off the phone with the studio.
We need to give them an answer about Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Call them back and say no, of course.
I can't play a call girl.
You know, she isn't really a call girl.
We never actually see her calling on anyone.
Oh, all right, then.
She's a kookwho carries messages for a mob boss...
while still trying to find a rich boyfriend.
It's not me.
I gotta tell you, I like the story.
Here's what I think.
It's about a beautiful young woman who's having a wonderful time...
but still feels a little lost.
You know? She doesn't really know where she belongs.
Where does she belong?
Oh, with the struggling artist that loves her, of course.
You really do like it?
I just think Holly's different than any character you've ever played.
It's a complex script, but it's still very emotional.
You wanted your next picture to be a bit more modern.
I don't want to leave you and the baby.
Sweetheart, if that's all it is, Sean would love to go.
He told me this morning. He said, " Dad...
Switzerland's nice, but I'd really like to see New York."
Hang on. Be right back.
Here you are. One nameless cat.
Hello, cat.
Listen, Audrey...
apparently we only have enough rain for one take.
Can you do it? Is he threatening me?
I read the script, but I don't get why she puts the cat out of the taxi.
Holly Golightly puts the cat out because Holly is the cat.
That's right.
She doesn't have a real name. Neither does the cat.
She feels homeless and unloved and unlovable...
just like the cat.
So, when she goes back to find the cat, it means--
Excuse me. Audrey? The taxi's ready. Right.
Can we stand by with the rain, please?
Stand by for the rain!
So, when she goes back to find the cat...
it means that she's finally accepted herself--
that she can love herself even though she's a scrawny...
soaking wet no-name cat.
It's not a bad thing to be.
Okay, cue the rain.
Cue the rain, please!
Roll camera!
Mark it! Scene 188, shot 1, take 1, marker.
And action!
Cat!
Where is he? I don't know.
Cat?
Cat!
Oh, cat.
It's nice.
And cut it!
That's a cut!
Thank you, everybody! That's a wrap!
