Charade

Unlikely Encounters and Misunderstandings

Peter Oh, forgive me. Does he belong to you?

[indicating Jean-Louis, the son of Reggie's friend]

Reggie : It's hers. Where'd you find him, robbing a bank?

[indicating Sylvie]

Peter He was throwing snowballs at Baron Rothschild. We don't know each other, do we?

[pause]

Reggie Why? Do you think we're going to?

Peter I don't know -- how would I know?

Reggie Because I already know an awful lot of people; until one of them dies, I couldn't possibly meet anyone else.

Reggie Quitter!

Reggie You give up awfully easy, don't you?

Sylvie Viens, Jean-Louis, let us make a walk. I have never seen a Rothschild before.

Reggie You're blocking my view.

Reggie The one you're blocking. This is the last chance I have -- I'm flying back to Paris this afternoon. What's your name?

Peter Peter Joshua.

Reggie Oh, mine's Regina Lampert.

Peter Is there a Mr. Lampert?

Reggie Yes.

Peter Good for you.

Reggie No, it isn't. I'm getting a divorce.

Peter Please, not on my account.

Reggie No, you see, I don't really love him.

Peter Well, at least you're honest, anyway.

Reggie Yes, I am -- I'm compulsive about it -- dishonesty infuriates me. Like when you go into a drugstore.

Peter I'm not sure I...

Reggie Well, you go in and you ask for some toothpaste -- the small size -- and the man brings you the large size. You tell him you wanted the small size but he says the large size is the small size. I always thought the large size was the largest size, but he says that the family size, the economy size and the giant size are all larger than the large size -- that the large size is the smallest size there is.

Peter Oh. I guess.

Reggie Is there a Mrs. Joshua?

Peter Yes, but we're divorced.

Reggie That wasn't a proposal -- I was just curious.

Peter Is your husband with you?

Reggie Oh, Charles is hardly ever with me. First it was separate rooms -- now we're trying it with cities. What do people call you -- Pete?

Peter Mr. Joshua. Well, I've enjoyed talking with you.

[turning to go]

Reggie Now you're angry.

Peter No, I'm not -- I've got some packing to do. I'm also going back to Paris today.

Reggie Oh. Well, wasn't it Shakespeare who said, "When strangers do meet, they should ere long see one another again"?

Peter Shakespeare never said that!
