第1章 Special love (1)

非常爱情

And what,in the opinion of Your Highness,is the outlook for friendship among nations?

公主殿下,您如何看待国家之间友好关系的前景?

I have very faith in it... as I have faith in relationship between people.

对此我充满信心,就像我对人与人之间的关系一样充满信心。

Late into the night,Princess Anne escapes from the embassy. She sleeps in the street,happens to be met by Joe,a journalist.

Selected Scene 1:

Anne:So happy... how are you this evening?

Joe:Hey,hey,hey... wake up.

Anne:Thank you. Very much delighted.

Joe:Wake up.

Anne:No,thank you. Charmed.

Joe:Charmed too.

Anne:You may sit down.

Joe:I think you’d better sit up. You’re much too young to get picked up by the police.

Anne:Police?

Joe:Yup,police.

Anne:Oh,2:15 and back here to change... 2:45...

Joe:You know,people who can’t handle liquor shouldn’t drink.

Anne:“If I were dead and buried and I heard your voice,beneath the sod,my heart of dust would still rejoice”... Do you know that poem?

Joe:What do you know?You’re well-read,well-dressed... snoozing away in a public street. Would you care to make a statement?

Anne:What the world needs is a return to sweetness and decency in the souls of its young men...

Joe:Yeah,I couldn’t agree with you more,but... (Joe summons a tax) Get yourself some coffee... you’ll be all right. Look,you take the cab.

Anne:Hmm.

Joe:Come on. Climb in the cab and go home.

Anne:So happy.

Joe:You got any money?

Anne:I never carry money.

Joe:That’s a bad habit. All right,I’ll wrap you up. Come up.

Anne:It’s a tax.

Joe:It’s not the Super-chief.

Driver:Where are you going?

Anne:Coliseum.

Joe:No,come on,you’re not that drunk.

Anne:You’re so smart. I’m not drunk at all. I’m just being very happy.

Joe:Don’t go to sleep again. Come on.

Driver:Where are we going?

Joe:Look,now where do you want to go?Where shall I take you?Where do you live?Come on. Where do you live?Come on. Where do you live?

Anne:Coliseum.

Joe:(to the driver) She lives in the coliseum.

Selected Scene 2:

Joe has no choice but to take Anne back to his room.

Anne:Is this the elevator?

Joe:It’s my room.

Anne:I’m terribly sorry to mention it but business is getting worse. Can I sleep here?

Joe:That’s the general idea.

Anne:Can I have a silk gown with rosebuds on it?

Joe takes out a pajama from the closet.

Joe:I’m afraid you’ll have to rough it tonight. In these.

Anne:Pajamas!

Joe:Sorry honey,but I haven’t worn a nightgown in years.

Anne:Will you help me get undressed?Please.

Joe:Okay. There you are. You can handle the rest.

Joe opens a bottle of wine,and pours himself a glass.

Anne:May I have some?

Joe:No. Now look.

Anne:This is very unusual. I’ve never been alone with a man before. Even with my dress on. With my dress off it’s most unusual. I don’t seem to mind. Do you?

Joe:I think I’ll go out for a cup of coffee. You’d better go to sleep. No,no,no,on this one. (Joe takes Anne to the couch.)

Anne:Terribly nice.

Joe:There are pajamas. They’re to sleep in. You’re to climb into them. You understand?

Anne:Thank you.

Joe:And you do your sleeping on the couch,see. Not on the bed. No the chair. On the couch,is that clear?

Anne:Do you know my favorite poem?

Joe:You already recited that for me.

Anne:“I refuse a rose from a couch of snows in the Acrousseronean Mountains. ”Keats.

Joe:Shelly.

Anne:Keats!

Joe:You just keep your mind off the poetry and on the pajamas and everything will be all right,see.

Anne:Keats!

Joe:I’ll be... it’s Shelly... I’ll be back in about ten minutes.

Anne:Keats. You have my permission to withdraw.

Joe:Thank you very much.

Joe goes out. Ten minutes later,when he gets home,he finds Anne fast asleep.

Selected Scene 3:

Next morning,Joe wakes up late.

Joe:Holy smoke,the princess interview. Eleven forty-five.

Anne:Hmm.

Hush he hastens to his office.

Man:Hi,Joe.

Secretary:Good morning,Joe.

Joe:Hello,honey.

Secretary:Mr. Hennessy has been looking for you.

Joe:Uh-oh. Thanks a lot,honey.

Joe knocks at the door of Mr. Hennessy’s office.

Hennessy:Come in!

Joe:You’ve been looking for me?

Hennessy:Just coming in to work?

Joe:Who?Me?

Hennessy:We start our days at 8:30 in the office. We pick up our assignments...

Joe:I picked mine up last night.

Hennessy:What assignment was that?

Joe:The princess,11:45.

Hennessy:You’ve already been to the interview?

Joe:Sure,I just got back.

Hennessy:Well,well,well. All my apologies.

Joe:It’s all right.

Hennessy:This is very interesting.

Joe:No,just routine.

Hennessy:Tell me,tell me,did she answer all the questions on the list?

Joe:Well,of course she did. I’ve got them right here somewhere.

Hennessy:Don’t disturb yourself. I have a copy here. How did Her Highness react to the idea of a European Federation?

Joe:Thought it was just fine.

Hennessy:She did?

Joe:Well,she thought that there’d be two effects.

Hennessy:Two.

Joe:The direct and indirect.

Hennessy:Remarkable.

Joe:Naturally she thought that the indirect may not be as direct as the direct. At least not right away. Later on,of course,well,nobody knows.

Hennessy:Well,well,well. That was a shrewd observation. They fool you,you know these Royal kids. They’ve got a lot more on the ball than we suspect. How did she feel about the future friendship of nations?
