Dangerously Yours was a half hour show sponsored by Vicks. There were sixteen episodes broadcast in 1944, with eleven of them available to collectors today. Each episode seemed to star Victor Jory as the leading man, and concentrated heavily on romance, with much airtime being devoted to lovers murmuring sweet nothings at each other, and the action and adventure being relegated to backdrop status. At the end of each episode, the announcer would give a very brief teaser for the following week's show.

earth do you want? I wantto choose my wife. I want someone

you do it? Will you letme travel to England with you? Oh,
your highness, you put me ina very unhappy spot. I've got
to get out of France at once. If I don't, my father's going
to put me in prison. Butto suggest that you accompany me as my
barber, my barber, it's well, I just don't like it. What
do you know about barber? Inthe first place, I've been observing Barber's
(03:44):
for some time now. There's nothingto it at all, nothing to it
at all. You'll see that Iwill bring about some changes in that beard
of yours. You see, I'mvery fond of that beard, and I'm
not going to have you tampering withit. You forget yourself, molligneur.
Suppose I refuse to take you withme to England, then I will order
you to take me. I amnot a happy man. Why do you
(04:04):
want to go to England? Anyhow? I'm just going to take the son
at Bath. You'll find it verydull, Bath, dull. Why there's
gambling there and dancing and beautiful ladies, And there I may find that which
I seek. May I take theliberty of asking just what it is that
you do seek, your Highness?I seek a lady as beautiful as the
(04:25):
morning, as beautiful a lady?What lady? But what's her name?
Does she have a title? Idon't know a name, but her title
might be Cinderella? Molly, yourmother? Are you wonderful? Handsome Molly?
(04:51):
Don't shout so you'll have everyone uphere to see what's wrong? What
is wrong? Founder? I knewat the moment I saw she had a
red rose in her hand, andshe was riding by in her carriage,
and she'd got the rose when shesaw me, and when I returned it,
I touched her hand for a moment. Oh, Mollanya, she's so
lovely, so beautiful, so charming. Hand me those scissors. I will
(05:13):
trim your beard while I tell youabout you trimmed my beard yesterday. It
really doesn't doesn't need it, Molanna. I don't want you to have a

decided that he shall have the honorof introducing me. Oh why really,
don't too vain about that beard,molagneur. If you're not good, I
may cut it off altogether. Oh, yes, the Duke shall have the
honor of introducing us. You can'tseriously think you'll introduce a barber to his
(06:44):
friends. I'm told the Duke cheatsat cards. If he cheats me,
he will introduce me, but notas a barber. I shall become a
duke for the purpose. The Dukeof Chateauia whitters. It is no child,
Giants, you're flirting with thee Ilike to flirt with danger. I

Take your hand off your sword,monsieur, and look around. Ugh ah.
Permit me to introduce my good friendsFrancois, Henri, Albert, Charles
and Gaston. Also permit me topoint out that they are armed. You're
in a little trouble, monsieur leduc, how much do you want?
Money does not interest me. Iwant something that will not hurt you as
(08:20):
much. And if you will notdo it for me, murder, Oh
no, monsieur, only disgrace.Why you scurvy footboy, you greasy barber,
you stable boy? Born in astable? Is it not no honor
to be born? For the Dukeof Winterset must have been bred. Do
you think a soul in Bath wouldtake your word that I attempted to cheat
(08:41):
you? They would take the wordof my master Mourgne. You'd pass that
word about Mourner. Yes? Whatdo you want of me? I want
to be presented to society as theDuke of Chateau Rean, And I also
want to meet the lovely lady MaryCarlyle. Lady Mary, may I present
(09:07):
his Greece, the Duke of Chatoria, your Greece, Lady Mary Carlyle,
I kneel at the feet of suchbeauty. You're very kind? Would you
grant me the honor of this dance? The pleasure is mine, your grace.
(09:31):
I've dreamed of this moment for solong a time, and now that
it's here and you're in my arms. I don't even know what to say,
and there's so much that I shouldsay. What do you want to
say? Oh, my dear,if I were to tell you, if
you'd slap my face and run away. I know very little about the French,
(09:52):
although I've heard of their gallantries,And now I see why. If
I told you that I loved you, what would you say? I'd say
you couldn't possibly know. We Englishare practical people. Your grace surely not
about love. Who can be practicalabout love? If a lady were not
practical about you, Monsieur le Duc, she might very easily get her heartbroken.
(10:16):
Oh, don't be practical about me. I'll not break your heart,
but I'll try very hard to takeit away from you. I'm not sure
you can. You see. I'mwaiting for someone very special. What kind
over someone? Oh, someone whois straightforward, who never says anything he
does not mean, someone who canbe trusted, And of course he must
(10:41):
be very handsome, and he mustlove me very much. I think I
know just the man for you.Is his name, Monsieur le duc de
Chateauvier, No, not his realname? And what might his real name
be Monsieur le Duke. His realname might be Prince Charming. You must
tell me about him sometimes sometime Iwill. You are leaving the ball now?
(11:16):
Yes, it is late and I'ma little tired. My carriage is
waiting. Look at that moon,Lady Mary. By tomorrow night it will
be in its prime. Will yougo driving with me? I am supposed
to attend at dinner, and inany case it would not be proper your
English, and I am French.What is proper in my country may not
(11:37):
be in yours. In my country. If you refuse to come, that
would mean there was no hope forme at all, and I would not
try to see you again. Iwill try to change my engagement. If
you would care to call about eight, I will be there, my lady.
Yes, your grace, I aska favor. May I have that
(11:58):
small red rose you wear in yourhair? What would that mean in your
country the same as it means inyours? Will you give it to me?
It is yours? And now goodnight? Thank you, my lady.
Be careful of my heart, won'tyou? You see you're taking it
home with you tonight. Please don'tbreak it. Good Night, your brace
(12:26):
goodbye until tomorrow. I see youhave a rouse, Monsieur Baba. Yes,
I have a rule. The rusewill be dead before morning, and
so maybe the barber. Are youthreatening me? I have intended for some
time to make Lady Mary Carlisle mywife. I don't intend to change my
(12:46):
plan. I have the same intentionthat I don't have any idea of changing
my plan. Do you think youcan marry her and keep her from finding
out that you are a barber?No? Do you think her ladyship would
marry a barber. I think shewould if she loved him. I mean
to find out the risk of personaldisgrace at a risk, I will keep
you from seeing her again. Atany risk I will see her again.
Well, then, monsieur, I'mafraid I shall have to kill you.
(13:07):
Sorry, Winterset, I don't havetime right now. I must get some
rest. I have an engagement withLady Mary tomorrow night, and I want
to be at my best. Iam warning you no do your worst,
Winterset. Let's see how much ofa blagguard you really can be. Step
(13:31):
carefully getting into the carriage my ladyhere, permit me to help you.
Thank you your grace, now,then where on our way? All right,
then we'll follow them into the country. Well, let them get about
ten miles out of town, andthen we'll take care of Monsieur la Barber.
(13:52):
We must keep out of sight untilwe're ready for the kill. Come
after them. You know, folks, how your head sometimes stuffs up at
(14:15):
night and makes breathing so difficult it'smighty hard to get to sleep. Now,
the next time you're bothered with thistranchant congestion at bedtime, just put
a few drops of Vic's Vatronal ineach nostril. Then feel this specialized medication
start to open up the clogged nasalpassages and make breathing easier. What grand
relief it brings. Vatronal is soeffective because it's expressly designed not only to
(14:39):
help relieve local congestion, but reduceirritating grinness too. In this way,
it invites RESTful sleep. Try vatronalto night if you're troubled with nasal stuffiness,
and notice how fast breathing becomes easier. Remember too, that vatronol is
equally effective to relieve distress of headcalls. So if you're snippling and sneezing,
(15:01):
just use a few drops of vatronalfollow directions in the folder Vic's Vatronal
knows drops And now the second actof Missieable Care starring Victor Jorry Woe Woa.
(15:24):
We'll stop for a moment, ahand look at the ocean in the
moonlight. No very well, butyou aren't looking at the moon or the
ocean. You are more beautiful.Compliments roll so smoothly from your tongue,
Monsieur le duc. One could wishyou did not say them quite so glibly.
Compliments of the result of honest emotion. What I feel I can express
(15:46):
strongly and quickly because I have nodoubt about my feelings. I'm not a
schoolboy stammering over his first love.I'm a man looking at my last love.
How clear it is tonight. Yes, nights like this I used to
go out alone and sit by thesea and dream about a girl like you
(16:07):
makes me a little homesick to nightfor France, our lady marry you will
love my country, and you willlove you in my country. If we
were there to night, we'd finda carnival and ride in a carousel and
drink champagne and laugh. And laterI would take you on the top of
the highest hill I could find,and I would say, that is my
kingdom down there, and now it'syours. If you will but put your
(16:33):
hand in mine, marry Look atme. Why do you turn away?
Because suddenly I want to believe you. Suddenly my heart wants to believe you,
and my mind says no, Mymind says, be cautious. He
is a stranger. Don't let yourselfin his lady. Will you marry me?
(16:56):
Don't know? Do you love me? I think perhaps I do.
I'm not sure. How can Ibe sure? I've known you so short
a time. You can be sure. You can be sure if your heart
grows warm when you look at me. And you can be sure if time
(17:17):
goes singing by when we're together anddrags by when we're not. And you
can be sure you'll love me ifthere's both peace and fire in your heart
when you hear me say I loveyou, then I think it must be
so, My dearest, my dearest, There's something I must tell you.
(17:45):

Listen? I hear horsemen. Iwonder who they are? Yes,
I think I know who they are. I must get out of the carriage.
I trust my own men are there. Who are they? Who are

in pain. I'm sorry not tobe able to blige you by dying,
but I have different plans. Isit true that you are a barber and
nothing more? Would that make adifference to you? You surely could not
(20:18):
expect me to marry a barber.I thought you would marry whomever you loved.
I thought you were different from allthe other ladies in the world.
I see now I was mistaken.Forgive me for the assumption. Francois,

and I do nothing to help you. See Monsieur Beaucaire. Ever since
he met you, as Barbary's goneright out of the window, I have
(21:51):
almost lost my entire beard. Yourruining his profession. You won't take me
to him, I will not,but I got help it. If you

and I'm leaving for France tomorrow.A few weeks ago, you and
I rode out along the sea,and you said, if I would put
my hand in yours, you wouldgive me a kingdom. Do you remember
that you would not care for abarber's kingdom? I think I would.
(22:42):
I know I wouldn't. Why Mary, if I've always thought the titles were
important, forgive me, I've learnedbetter. Just say I had a bad
bringing up. I've had a lotof weeks to think this over, and
I know it doesn't matter whether you'rea duke or a barber, because the
only kingdom I really want is inyour arms, And the only title I
(23:03):
really want is the title Madame Bouquaire, My dearest, my darling, my
sweet I love you. That's theonly important thing in the whole world to
me. I love you so much. You shall be Madame Baucaire. And
Monsieur Beaucaire is a very lucky man. Monsieur that beast of a winter set

court. Franchoire just brought word,and I should be ready for them.
Can't we end this masquerade? Iswear what's left of my beard is turning
white. We can in the masquerade. It's no longer necessary. I have
found my Cinderella is the impinite scoundrelsfish in this Tilerman, hear me,
before you offer an outrage, youwill repent all your lives and plunge your
(23:45):
country to war. Ah, Monsieur, Duke, you always appear well flanked
with men. You never risked meto me alone. Do you do you
expect me to fight a cutthroat withbare hens? I think one does not
expect Monsieur to fight anybody. Doyou think I would fight you? I
would gladly fight almost anyone in theworld, but I would not soil my
(24:07):
hands with a lying snea, lyingoff anyone who thinks he can stop me.
Step forward. Oh really, winterSet, this is getting a little
tiresome. You're always forcing me tofight when I'm not in the more,
my Prince, please say no more. The prince, my prince, What
(24:30):
prince is this? What kind oftalk is this? Winterset? You forfeited
all honor in this place. Youplay cards with me in cheat, and
then on condition I do not exposeyou. You introduce me as you introduced
me at the cost of your honor, and then betray me to redeem it.
You are a liar, a cardshark, a cow. I'll know
the true name of the man thatdares bring such a charge. Tell him,
(24:52):
i'lla no. I think it's time. He knows, But make it
as short as possible. Permit meto have the honor of presenting to you
His Royal Highness, Prince Louis Philipde Valwila, doctor Yal, doctor shot,
doctor, doctor mort Pourchet, Countde poujolais First Prince of the Blood,
Royal First Pair of France, LieutenantGeneral of Infantry, Governor of Dauphine,
(25:15):
Knight of the Golden Freest, Grandmasterof the Honor of Notre Dame of
Mount Carmel and of Saint Lesius inJerusalem, and son of His Most Christian
Majesty, the King of France.Mon dear, what a memory the Prince
shall hear from me within the hour? What gentleman will carry your message with
a set? Whoever will shall receivea little beating from France war. And
(25:37):
now may I introduce to this companythe lady who has promised to be my
wife. But I promised to marryMonsieur Beauquaire. I am Beaucaire in my
heart, and in my heart youwill always be Madame Beaucaire, monseigneur,
my prince. Byle leave, Ihave been a good friend, have I
(26:02):
not that you have? Molanie.Have I not served you, obeyed you,
suffered for you, worried over you. You've done all those things.
When may I ask one favor inreturn? As it shall be granted.
May I be your barber, justfor a month. I can see room
for improvement in your beard, mollinorthat's what you want, it shall be
granted. But consider all the troublemasquerading as a barber got me. On
(26:22):
second thought, I withdraw the request. On the other hand, look at
the joy it brought me. Ithink I'll just take my holiday now,
though, if you don't mind.Good Bye, Monsieur Boucaire. May I
wish you great happiness, Thank youvery much. I have great happiness now
that I found Madame Bocare. Ladies, it's a fact that today many many
(27:03):
women are throwing away their youthful charm, fading before their time, simply because
they fail to live sensibly and getenough of certain indispensable vitamins and iron.
Now, don't you pay that penalty. Don't be guilty of throwing away your
natural youthfulness. Just live sensibly andtake Vitamin's plus once each day. You
(27:26):
see, Vitamin's plus gives you fullprotective amounts of all the certain indispensable vitamins
and iron that you must have tofeel and look as young as vital and
alive as you should. So makeit your health charm routine. Vitamin's plus,
just once each day. I amadventurer. Next week, come with

to go back and tell the kinghe escaped. Well, Pierre, will
(03:23):
you do it? Will you letme travel to England with you? Oh,
your highness, you put me ina very unhappy spot. I've got
to get out of France at once. If I don't, my father's going
to put me in prison. Butto suggest that you accompany me as my
barber, my barber, it's well, I just don't like it. What
do you know about barber? Inthe first place, I've been observing Barber's
(03:44):
for some time now. There's nothingto it at all, nothing to it
at all. You'll see that Iwill bring about some changes in that beard
of yours. You see, I'mvery fond of that beard, and I'm
not going to have you tampering withit. You forget yourself, molligneur.
Suppose I refuse to take you withme to England, then I will order
you to take me. I amnot a happy man. Why do you
(04:04):
want to go to England? Anyhow? I'm just going to take the son
at Bath. You'll find it verydull, Bath, dull. Why there's
gambling there and dancing and beautiful ladies, And there I may find that which
I seek. May I take theliberty of asking just what it is that
you do seek, your Highness?I seek a lady as beautiful as the
(04:25):
morning, as beautiful a lady?What lady? But what's her name?
Does she have a title? Idon't know a name, but her title
might be Cinderella? Molly, yourmother? Are you wonderful? Handsome Molly?
(04:51):
Don't shout so you'll have everyone uphere to see what's wrong? What
is wrong? Founder? I knewat the moment I saw she had a
red rose in her hand, andshe was riding by in her carriage,
and she'd got the rose when shesaw me, and when I returned it,
I touched her hand for a moment. Oh, Mollanya, she's so
lovely, so beautiful, so charming. Hand me those scissors. I will
(05:13):
trim your beard while I tell youabout you trimmed my beard yesterday. It
really doesn't doesn't need it, Molanna. I don't want you to have a
hair out of place. I wanteveryone am about to say, oh,
what a magnificent barber is that messiavulcare? But my beard keeps getting less
and less. I really don't wanta dream. I order you to sit
down, Yes, your highness,I am not a happy man. This
(05:39):
is supposed to be a vacation forme. I've found out her name already.
It is Lady Mary Carlyle. Ohyou got are such a big hun
don't squam so I might accidentally cutoff your nose. I really don't need
a dream. If you don't sitstill, I'll have you beheaded and that
will end your entire problem. Yes, your highness, now then, molgneur,
(06:01):
how can you fix it for meto meet Lady Mary, I cannot

well, I'm not going to makea fellow countryman commit a social error.
I'll tell you what you do.Suppose you invite the Duke of winter
Set to your rooms to night fora game of cards. I don't like
the Duke. Why should I invitehim in for a game? Well,
(06:21):
I've heard the Duke is very intimatewith Lady Mary Carlyle, So I've just
decided that he shall have the honorof introducing me. Oh why really,
don't too vain about that beard,molagneur. If you're not good, I
may cut it off altogether. Oh, yes, the Duke shall have the
honor of introducing us. You can'tseriously think you'll introduce a barber to his
(06:44):
friends. I'm told the Duke cheatsat cards. If he cheats me,
he will introduce me, but notas a barber. I shall become a
duke for the purpose. The Dukeof Chateauia whitters. It is no child,
Giants, you're flirting with thee Ilike to flirt with danger. I
love it. It's the wine andthe sauce the salt and the steel soft
spot in the head. That's enoughtrimming for this afternoon. Go hurry,
(07:10):
run on those little fat feet andtell the Duke of win a Set that
your barber is the most fabulous gamblerin France that a game with him might
prove most interesting. Go now,scat what has happened to my holiday?
Shouldn't happen to a pig, willyou supple, Monsieur le duke? Thank
(07:31):
you? Cut no, thank you? What's happened to your beard? Mullineur?
It's different shape every day. Itchanges with the mood of my barber,
Monsieur le duke. Pardon, butone of the cards seems to be
missing. One of the cards missing. Oh, that's impossible. You will
pardon me if I remove it fromyour sleeve while I monsieur, this will
(07:57):
make quite a story when it getsout. You will make no story of
this book here if I have tokill you to make sure of it.
Take your hand off your sword,monsieur, and look around. Ugh ah.
Permit me to introduce my good friendsFrancois, Henri, Albert, Charles
and Gaston. Also permit me topoint out that they are armed. You're
in a little trouble, monsieur leduc, how much do you want?
Money does not interest me. Iwant something that will not hurt you as
(08:20):
much. And if you will notdo it for me, murder, Oh
no, monsieur, only disgrace.Why you scurvy footboy, you greasy barber,
you stable boy? Born in astable? Is it not no honor
to be born? For the Dukeof Winterset must have been bred. Do
you think a soul in Bath wouldtake your word that I attempted to cheat
(08:41):
you? They would take the wordof my master Mourgne. You'd pass that
word about Mourner. Yes? Whatdo you want of me? I want
to be presented to society as theDuke of Chateau Rean, And I also
want to meet the lovely lady MaryCarlyle. Lady Mary, may I present
(09:07):
his Greece, the Duke of Chatoria, your Greece, Lady Mary Carlyle,
I kneel at the feet of suchbeauty. You're very kind? Would you
grant me the honor of this dance? The pleasure is mine, your grace.
(09:31):
I've dreamed of this moment for solong a time, and now that
it's here and you're in my arms. I don't even know what to say,
and there's so much that I shouldsay. What do you want to
say? Oh, my dear,if I were to tell you, if
you'd slap my face and run away. I know very little about the French,
(09:52):
although I've heard of their gallantries,And now I see why. If
I told you that I loved you, what would you say? I'd say
you couldn't possibly know. We Englishare practical people. Your grace surely not
about love. Who can be practicalabout love? If a lady were not
practical about you, Monsieur le Duc, she might very easily get her heartbroken.
(10:16):
Oh, don't be practical about me. I'll not break your heart,
but I'll try very hard to takeit away from you. I'm not sure
you can. You see. I'mwaiting for someone very special. What kind
over someone? Oh, someone whois straightforward, who never says anything he
does not mean, someone who canbe trusted, And of course he must
(10:41):
be very handsome, and he mustlove me very much. I think I
know just the man for you.Is his name, Monsieur le duc de
Chateauvier, No, not his realname? And what might his real name
be Monsieur le Duke. His realname might be Prince Charming. You must
tell me about him sometimes sometime Iwill. You are leaving the ball now?
(11:16):
Yes, it is late and I'ma little tired. My carriage is
waiting. Look at that moon,Lady Mary. By tomorrow night it will
be in its prime. Will yougo driving with me? I am supposed
to attend at dinner, and inany case it would not be proper your
English, and I am French.What is proper in my country may not
(11:37):
be in yours. In my country. If you refuse to come, that
would mean there was no hope forme at all, and I would not
try to see you again. Iwill try to change my engagement. If
you would care to call about eight, I will be there, my lady.
Yes, your grace, I aska favor. May I have that
(11:58):
small red rose you wear in yourhair? What would that mean in your
country the same as it means inyours? Will you give it to me?
It is yours? And now goodnight? Thank you, my lady.
Be careful of my heart, won'tyou? You see you're taking it
home with you tonight. Please don'tbreak it. Good Night, your brace
(12:26):
goodbye until tomorrow. I see youhave a rouse, Monsieur Baba. Yes,
I have a rule. The rusewill be dead before morning, and
so maybe the barber. Are youthreatening me? I have intended for some
time to make Lady Mary Carlisle mywife. I don't intend to change my
(12:46):
plan. I have the same intentionthat I don't have any idea of changing
my plan. Do you think youcan marry her and keep her from finding
out that you are a barber?No? Do you think her ladyship would
marry a barber. I think shewould if she loved him. I mean
to find out the risk of personaldisgrace at a risk, I will keep
you from seeing her again. Atany risk I will see her again.
Well, then, monsieur, I'mafraid I shall have to kill you.
(13:07):
Sorry, Winterset, I don't havetime right now. I must get some
rest. I have an engagement withLady Mary tomorrow night, and I want
to be at my best. Iam warning you no do your worst,
Winterset. Let's see how much ofa blagguard you really can be. Step
(13:31):
carefully getting into the carriage my ladyhere, permit me to help you.
Thank you your grace, now,then where on our way? All right,
then we'll follow them into the country. Well, let them get about
ten miles out of town, andthen we'll take care of Monsieur la Barber.
(13:52):
We must keep out of sight untilwe're ready for the kill. Come
after them. You know, folks, how your head sometimes stuffs up at
(14:15):
night and makes breathing so difficult it'smighty hard to get to sleep. Now,
the next time you're bothered with thistranchant congestion at bedtime, just put
a few drops of Vic's Vatronal ineach nostril. Then feel this specialized medication
start to open up the clogged nasalpassages and make breathing easier. What grand
relief it brings. Vatronal is soeffective because it's expressly designed not only to
(14:39):
help relieve local congestion, but reduceirritating grinness too. In this way,
it invites RESTful sleep. Try vatronalto night if you're troubled with nasal stuffiness,
and notice how fast breathing becomes easier. Remember too, that vatronol is
equally effective to relieve distress of headcalls. So if you're snippling and sneezing,
(15:01):
just use a few drops of vatronalfollow directions in the folder Vic's Vatronal
knows drops And now the second actof Missieable Care starring Victor Jorry Woe Woa.
(15:24):
We'll stop for a moment, ahand look at the ocean in the
moonlight. No very well, butyou aren't looking at the moon or the
ocean. You are more beautiful.Compliments roll so smoothly from your tongue,
Monsieur le duc. One could wishyou did not say them quite so glibly.
Compliments of the result of honest emotion. What I feel I can express
(15:46):
strongly and quickly because I have nodoubt about my feelings. I'm not a
schoolboy stammering over his first love.I'm a man looking at my last love.
How clear it is tonight. Yes, nights like this I used to
go out alone and sit by thesea and dream about a girl like you
(16:07):
makes me a little homesick to nightfor France, our lady marry you will
love my country, and you willlove you in my country. If we
were there to night, we'd finda carnival and ride in a carousel and
drink champagne and laugh. And laterI would take you on the top of
the highest hill I could find,and I would say, that is my
kingdom down there, and now it'syours. If you will but put your
(16:33):
hand in mine, marry Look atme. Why do you turn away?
Because suddenly I want to believe you. Suddenly my heart wants to believe you,
and my mind says no, Mymind says, be cautious. He
is a stranger. Don't let yourselfin his lady. Will you marry me?
(16:56):
Don't know? Do you love me? I think perhaps I do.
I'm not sure. How can Ibe sure? I've known you so short
a time. You can be sure. You can be sure if your heart
grows warm when you look at me. And you can be sure if time
(17:17):
goes singing by when we're together anddrags by when we're not. And you
can be sure you'll love me ifthere's both peace and fire in your heart
when you hear me say I loveyou, then I think it must be
so, My dearest, my dearest, There's something I must tell you.
(17:45):
There's something I must ask you.If I were not what I SeeMe,
if I were not the Duke deChateaurian, would it make any difference It
seems almost insulting to ask you,But I must know? Are not the
duty chateau wea? Then? Whoare you? A man who loves you?
(18:06):
Listen? I hear horsemen. Iwonder who they are? Yes,
I think I know who they are. I must get out of the carriage.
I trust my own men are there. Who are they? Who are
you? What is wrong? Mydarling? Listened to me? If I
live tonight, I'll take good ofFrance and you shall be my queen.
And if I die, I'll countmy life well lost for this one hour?

Well done, my friends. Youwere almost too late, Monsieur the Duke.
You had better attend to your accomplices. Some of them seem to be
in pain. I'm sorry not tobe able to blige you by dying,
but I have different plans. Isit true that you are a barber and
nothing more? Would that make adifference to you? You surely could not
(20:18):
expect me to marry a barber.I thought you would marry whomever you loved.
I thought you were different from allthe other ladies in the world.
I see now I was mistaken.Forgive me for the assumption. Francois,
Francois, I need to help Francoissigneur. Your coat is red with blood

high, but the rose she gaveme seemed more beautiful than it has turned
out to be. Help me home, Monsieur moligneur. May I please see
(21:30):
Monsieur Beaucaire. He's in the gardenresting. Haven't you done enough to him?
Please let me see him. Iknow he despises me, but there
is something I must say to him. I don't like you, my lady,
and I do nothing to help you. See Monsieur Beaucaire. Ever since
he met you, as Barbary's goneright out of the window, I have
(21:51):
almost lost my entire beard. Yourruining his profession. You won't take me
to him, I will not,but I got help it. If you
push your way past me in death, go around in the garden on your
own. Thank you, Monsieur Bouquet. Good afternoon, your ladyship. I
(22:18):
know you don't want to see me, but I had to come. I
won't be able to talk to youlong. I have some affairs to settle,
and I'm leaving for France tomorrow.A few weeks ago, you and
I rode out along the sea,and you said, if I would put
my hand in yours, you wouldgive me a kingdom. Do you remember
that you would not care for abarber's kingdom? I think I would.
(22:42):
I know I wouldn't. Why Mary, if I've always thought the titles were
important, forgive me, I've learnedbetter. Just say I had a bad
bringing up. I've had a lotof weeks to think this over, and
I know it doesn't matter whether you'rea duke or a barber, because the
only kingdom I really want is inyour arms, And the only title I
(23:03):
really want is the title Madame Bouquaire, My dearest, my darling, my
sweet I love you. That's theonly important thing in the whole world to
me. I love you so much. You shall be Madame Baucaire. And
Monsieur Beaucaire is a very lucky man. Monsieur that beast of a winter set
(23:25):
us on his way over here,and the whole party of gentlemen from the
court. Franchoire just brought word,and I should be ready for them.
Can't we end this masquerade? Iswear what's left of my beard is turning
white. We can in the masquerade. It's no longer necessary. I have
found my Cinderella is the impinite scoundrelsfish in this Tilerman, hear me,
before you offer an outrage, youwill repent all your lives and plunge your
(23:45):
country to war. Ah, Monsieur, Duke, you always appear well flanked
with men. You never risked meto me alone. Do you do you
expect me to fight a cutthroat withbare hens? I think one does not
expect Monsieur to fight anybody. Doyou think I would fight you? I
would gladly fight almost anyone in theworld, but I would not soil my
(24:07):
hands with a lying snea, lyingoff anyone who thinks he can stop me.
Step forward. Oh really, winterSet, this is getting a little
tiresome. You're always forcing me tofight when I'm not in the more,
my Prince, please say no more. The prince, my prince, What
(24:30):
prince is this? What kind oftalk is this? Winterset? You forfeited
all honor in this place. Youplay cards with me in cheat, and
then on condition I do not exposeyou. You introduce me as you introduced
me at the cost of your honor, and then betray me to redeem it.
You are a liar, a cardshark, a cow. I'll know
the true name of the man thatdares bring such a charge. Tell him,
(24:52):
i'lla no. I think it's time. He knows, But make it
as short as possible. Permit meto have the honor of presenting to you

Knight of the Golden Freest, Grandmasterof the Honor of Notre Dame of
Mount Carmel and of Saint Lesius inJerusalem, and son of His Most Christian
Majesty, the King of France.Mon dear, what a memory the Prince
shall hear from me within the hour? What gentleman will carry your message with
a set? Whoever will shall receivea little beating from France war. And
(25:37):
now may I introduce to this companythe lady who has promised to be my
wife. But I promised to marryMonsieur Beauquaire. I am Beaucaire in my
heart, and in my heart youwill always be Madame Beaucaire, monseigneur,
my prince. Byle leave, Ihave been a good friend, have I
(26:02):
not that you have? Molanie.Have I not served you, obeyed you,
suffered for you, worried over you. You've done all those things.
When may I ask one favor inreturn? As it shall be granted.
May I be your barber, justfor a month. I can see room
for improvement in your beard, mollinorthat's what you want, it shall be
granted. But consider all the troublemasquerading as a barber got me. On
(26:22):
second thought, I withdraw the request. On the other hand, look at
the joy it brought me. Ithink I'll just take my holiday now,
though, if you don't mind.Good Bye, Monsieur Boucaire. May I
wish you great happiness, Thank youvery much. I have great happiness now
that I found Madame Bocare. Ladies, it's a fact that today many many
