Gus Bennett:
[enters Anna's hotel room]
My darling, you look as charming as ever. Those same sweet lips, like warm carnations. Those sweet mysterious eyes, darker and softer than the bluest dusk of August violets... as the poet has it, and I hope he was Aryan... No one under the bed, I trust ? [picks up phone] Gus Bennett:
Bring me a bottle of Krug '28... That will be excellent. Anna Bomasch:
What's happening ? Gus Bennett:
Well you may have gathered that we were partners in a highly romantic interlude in Prague four years ago. By the way, did you like the flowers ? Anna Bomasch:
Does that matter ? Gus Bennett:
It cost me twelve coupons. Anna Bomasch:
Well, go on. Gus Bennett:
Well, tomorrow morning I'm going to phone the admiral and say that your father is now prepared to work for Germany. Anna Bomasch:
What ? Gus Bennett:
I shall say that I persuaded you to reason with him. They're bound to ask me to take you both along. The Gestapo man downstairs will let us pass and then... Anna Bomasch:
Yes, but how do you know he will ? Gus Bennett:
They listen in to the phone. They always do. Then instead of driving to the admiralty, we shall go to a meadow outside Berlin where a plane is waiting. Anna Bomasch:
I see. But why should the admiralty believe that you've persuaded me ? Gus Bennett:
I shall indicate that, uh, once again you've succumbed to my charms. Anna Bomasch:
Once... again ? Gus Bennett:
It happened in Prague, I'm afraid. Anna Bomasch:
And you told them a fantastic story like that ? Gus Bennett:
Fantastic ? Well it was four years ago, there was a harvest moon and I was younger and more dashing then. Anna Bomasch:
But you really mean all this ? It sounds far too simple. Gus Bennett:
I have a very simple mind. But there is one small complication. Uh, I shall have to spend the night here - in a purely professional spirit, of course. Anna Bomasch:
That is necessary ? Gus Bennett:
Well, sort of fits into the picture. The place is absolutely crawling with Gestapo... Have you any sporting instinct ? Anna Bomasch:
Why ? Gus Bennett:
Well, I'll, uh, toss you who sleeps on the couch
