Roman Holiday (1953) Edit

A date with Her Royal Highness who will graciously pose for some pictures.

A deal's a deal. Now, come on, come on, come on.

A formal reception and ball in her honor...

A gun?

A man with his four children was caught in the street.

A nervous straight.

A thousand lire.

A thousand?

About 1:30.

After 9:00, I'll be there dancing on river.

After three days of continuous activity...

All my apologies.

All off?

All off.

All right, a little seven card stud.

All right, all right, I overslept. It could happen to anybody.

All right, I'll drop you off. Come on.

All right, look...

All right, save that till later. You're here early anyway.

All right.

All right. Let's go. Look out!

Alone?

Am I fired?

American news service? What did he mean?

And a visit to Buckingham Palace...

And a young man came.

And at her country's embassy that evening...

And at her country's embassy that evening...

And christened an ocean liner...

And don't think by playing hard to get you'll raise the price of that story.

And drive away in my glass slipper.

And get myself a place with a kitchen.

And has had all her appointments for today cancelled in toto!

And he was so mean to me.

And I hate all my underwear too.

And Karak Singh.

And now...

And put your hand in there, it'll be bitten off.

And snoozing away on a public street.

And so, to Rome, the eternal city...

And that'll be the end of the fairy tale.

And the arrest of eight secret service men...

And the Rajkumari.

And the Western European nations.

And then comes the news of the lady's miraculous recovery.

And what, in the opinion of Your Highness...

And when I'm back in a real newsroom, I'll enjoy thinking about you...

And you want me to lend you money?

Ann flew to Amsterdam...

Anya.

Anyway, the chances of it being granted are very slight.

Are these yours?

As I have faith in relations between people.

As I leave you.

As long as I live.

As soon as she wakes up she'll tell you where she wants to go.

As the direct.

As thousands cheer the gracious young member...

At least not right away.

At your recovery from the recent illness.

August.

Aw, nuts to that. Hey, did you tell him about Smitty?

Beneath the sod my heart of dust...

Best thing I know is to do exactly what you wish for a while.

Bet 500.

Bombs fell very close, but no one was hurt.

But here it is, all over the front page of every newspaper in Rome.

But I can't come now. I'm busy...

But I'm not 200 years old.

But it's a big story. It's gotta have pictures.

But nobody goes in, and nobody goes out.

But tell me, Mr. Bradley, if you are sober...

But we've only just met.

But what explanation am I to offer Their Majesties?

But... But your friend, I not think they recognize you.

By the way, what was she wearing?

Bye.

Can I have a silk nightgown with rosebuds on it?

Can I keep just one light on?

Can I sleep here?

Can you get here in five minutes?

Can you lend me some money?

Can't use it, huh?

Champagne, please.

Champagne?

Charmed too.

Charmed.

Charmed. So happy.

Chemicals. You know, chemicals. Stuff like that.

Coliseum.

Coliseum.

Come here.

Come in!

Come on, climb in the cab and go home.

Come on. Come on. Where do you live?

Come on. Where do you live?

Come with me.

Congratulations. Congratulations.

Continuing our program of musical selections.

Control yourself, Ann.

Couldn't be anything to do with the fact that you're ahead?

Cousins.

Cut her hair this afternoon, made a date for tonight.

Cut so?

Dear Dr. Bonnachoven.

Delani. Mario Delani.

Delighted.

Designed to cement trade relations between her country...

Despite that.

Despite your indisposition, Your Highness?

Did you bring me here by force?

Did you bring me here by force?

Did you know there are people who sleep with absolutely nothing on at all?

Did you learn how in school?

Did you lose something?

Did you say she was wearing gray?

Do you know that poem?

Do you want in on this deal or don't you?

Do you?

Does Your Highness believe that federation...

Doesn't seem much to you, does it?

Don't change the subject. When you came back into my office yesterday...

Don't do anything like that, Irving. Sit down. Join us. Join us.

Don't go to sleep again. Come on.

Don't I? First wish, one sidewalk cafe coming right up.

Don't try.

Don't understand.

Don't worry, Doctor.

Double my money, eh?

Double my money?

Double your money back in two days.

Each in its own way was... unforgettable.

Each in its own way...

Even with my dress on.

Everything we do is so wholesome.

Everything will be all right.

Exclusive...

Fertilizer.

First, you come into my office and ask about an exclusive on the princess.

Five grand, Irving.

Five grand?

Five hundred more.

Five hundred says you don't come up with the story.

Five hundred, and I'll raise you a thousand.

Five hundred. How many?

Foolish boy.

For me?

For the orphans?

From a certain angle...

From a country which shall be nameless.

Get into your next outfit, honey. The canoe.

Get into your next outfit, honey. The canoe.

Get yourself some coffee. You'll be all right.

Giovanni, I love you. Now, listen...

Giovanni, it's Joe Bradley.

Give me a little slack, will ya.

Go on. I love to hear you whine.

Go right through there, down all the steps.

Go to church to get married on a scooter. That's a hot one.

Good afternoon.

Good bye, Mr. Bradley.

Good bye.

Good bye. Thank you.

Good evening, Countess.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Good morning.

Good night, ma'am.

Good night.

Have fun and maybe some excitement.

Have I been here all night...

Have I had an accident?

Have I your pledge?

He was tall and strong...

He was?

He's a guy that we met. You wouldn't care for him.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Her innermost thoughts, as revealed to your Rome correspondent...

Her Royal Highness will now answer your questions.

Her Royal Highness.

Her Royal Highness.

Her views on clothes, of course, would be worth a lot more. Maybe a thousand.

Here is Via Margutta 51. Cinquant'uno.

Here we go now.

Here?

Here's hoping for the best.

Here's the one I figured would be the key shot for the whole layout...

Hey, anybody ever tell you you're a dead ringer for...

Hey, the pictures came out pretty well.

Hey, wake up.

Hey, what gives? Have we had a better offer?

Hey, what kind of a routine is that?

Hi, Joe.

Higher?

Higher.

Highlighted by the band of the crack Bersagliere Regiment.

His Excellency, the Papal Nuncio...

His Highness, the Maharajah of Khanipur...

Hit him again, Smitty!

Hiya, Mr. Hennessy. You got here at the right time.

Holy smoke. The princess interview.

Honey, I got to work. I'll call you tonight.

How about this? "Crowned head."

How about... Oh, wait. I got a topper for you.

How are you this evening?

How did Her Highness react to the idea of a European federation?

How did she feel about the future friendship of nations?

How do you do?

How do you do?

How do you do?

How do you do?

How do you do?

How much was it that you wanted?

How much would a real interview with this dame be worth?

How would you like to make some money?

I am in favor of any measure...

I am so glad to hear you say it.

I am very happy.

I believe at the outset, Your Highness...

I can give you a running commentary on each apartment.

I can sew, too, and clean a house and iron.

I can take a hint. I'll see you around.

I can't talk over the telephone.

I can't think of any words.

I could do some of the things I've always wanted to.

I didn't think you'd like it.

I don't care if it spilled or not. I don't care if I drowned in it!

I don't feel any different.

I don't know how to say good bye.

I don't know. It seemed the thing to do.

I don't mean Annie Oakley, Dorothy Lamour or Madame... How much?

I don't seem to mind.

I don't want Dr. Bonnachoven!

I don't want to!

I dreamt and I dreamt.

I dreamt I was asleep in the street...

I dug that up out of the file. "Princess inspects police."

I guess we better get Irving's car and get out of here.

I hate all my nightgowns.

I hate this nightgown.

I have a copy here.

I have three "bambino"... You know "bambino"?

I have to leave you now.

I know just the place. Rocca's.

I know, but if I did, how much would it be worth?

I know! You "modella"!

I learned to do all those things. I just haven't had the chance...

I look... "subito".

I Mario Delani.

I mean, not as far as I'm concerned.

I meant a fun schedule.

I must go and get dressed.

I must go.

I must put you on your honor not to speak of this to anyone.

I must remind you that the princess is the direct heir to the throne.

I never heard of anybody so kind.

I never see her before. Huh? Okay.

I oughta have my head examined.

I rejoice to say that I did not.

I shall have to go now.

I slipped? I almost hurt myself?

I spoke to you about that once before, don't you remember?

I think I know the dress you mean. It has a gold collar.

I think I'll go out for a cup of coffee.

I think maybe you not come.

I think you described it very well...

I think you'd better sit up. Much too young to get picked up by the police.

I thought a little wine might be good.

I want you to hurry up to my place and see if there's somebody there asleep.

I was indisposed. I am better.

I was looking at all the people out here.

I will cherish my visit here in memory...

I would not have come back tonight...

I would now like to meet some of the ladies and gentlemen of the press.

I...

I'd like to make a little side bet with you.

I'll be dead before he gets here.

I'll bow and I'll smile and...

I'll get Dr. Bonnachoven.

I'll improve trade relations and...

I'll only disturb Your Royal Highness for a moment.

I'll only disturb Your Royal Highness for a moment.

I'll park at the corner.

I'll run a bath for you.

I'll see you.

I'll send for Dr. Bonnachoven.

I'll stretch my legs a little here.

I'll take one.

I'm a good cook. I could earn my living at it.

I'm a good liar, too, aren't I?

I'm afraid I don't know anybody by that name.

I'm afraid you'll have to rough it tonight...

I'm awfully sorry, Irving.

I'm busy now, and I'm meeting Francesca at Rocca's in half an hour.

I'm going straight from now on.

I'm going to that corner there and turn.

I'm gonna win that money, and I'm gonna buy a one way ticket back to New York.

I'm in the same racket as Joe, only I'm...

I'm just being very happy.

I'm not?

I'm perfectly all right.

I'm so happy to see you here.

I'm sorry I couldn't cook us some dinner.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I've really no money.

I'm talking about her views on everything.

I'm terribly sorry to mention it, but...

I'm too tired to sleep. I shan't sleep a wink.

I'm very glad to know you.

I've got a sure thing.

I've heard of a wonderful place for dancing on a boat.

I've never been alone with a man before...

If I were you, I'd try some other line of business, like mattress testing.

If it wasn't for that hair, I'd swear that...

If you come, you will be most pretty of all girl.

If you don't count me, yes.

If you ever got up early enough to read a morning paper...

In a private, personal...

In English and Italian.

In such a gold plated, triple decked, star spangled lie as you just told me.

In the souls of its young men and...

In these.

In toto?

In toto.

In view of the fact that Her Highness was taken violently ill at 3:00 a.m...

In view of the fact that you just left her, of course.

Interview.

Irving, I don't know just how to tell you this, but...

Irving! Well, am I glad to see you!

Irving! Why don't you answer the phone? Look, this is Joe.

Is a return to sweetness and decency...

Is not your problem. Is not my problem.

Is the outlook for friendship among nations?

Is there anything you want?

Is this the elevator?

Is this the princess?

Is wrong address.

It ain't much, but it's home.

It ain't much, but it's home.

It all adds up.

It all started during the war when there was an air raid right out here.

It has its moments.

It is.

It isn't Annie Oakley, Dorothy Lamour or Madame Chiang Kai shek.

It may take a little time to take hold.

It might be political, it might be a sensational scandal. I'm not sure which.

It must be fun to live in a place like this.

It seems I do.

It was wonderful.

It wasn't any trouble.

It would be difficult to...

It's a new drug. Quite harmless.

It's all right, dear. It didn't spill.

It's always open season on princesses.

It's an American term, and it means...

It's front page stuff. That's all I can tell you.

It's great.

It's nice without, isn't it? Cool.

It's no use.

It's on a boat on the "Tevere"...

It's perfect.

It's very, very... Very.

Joe Bradley, American News Service.

Joe Bradley.

Joe, I'm up to my ears in work.

Joe, now wait a minute. What are you trying to do?

Joe's a wonderful liar.

Just as Your Royal Highness has her duty.

Just cut, thank you.

Just cut, thank you.

Just cut?

Just cut?

Just drive away and leave me...

Just how you are going to obtain this fantastic interview.

Just lie back.

Just the top part.

Keats.

Ladies and gentlemen, please approach.

Ladies and gentlemen, please approach.

Ladies and gentlemen...

Lampe. "New York Herald Tribune".

Later on, of course, well, nobody knows.

Later on, the man came back and he put up the first of these tablets.

Lead off with that, then follow up with the wishes.

Leave me!

Let go. It's my camera.

Let me go. Will you let me go?

Let's have a drink at the bar.

Let's see you do it.

Listen.

Listen. What would you do for five grand?

Little items of general interest...

Live dangerously. Take the whole day.

Look at that... 6,500.

Look at those men!

Look, "signore", for me it is very late night.

Look, before you do...

Look, I can't prevent you from selling the pictures if you want to.

Look, Irving, this is my story. I dug it up. I gotta protect it.

Look, pal, this is not my problem, see?

Look, where do you want to go? Where shall I take you?

Look, you take the cab.

Look.

Love angle too, I suppose.

Lovely story.

Ma'am, you must appreciate that I have my duty to perform...

Make a wish?

Man, wait till you see these!

May I have a little more wine?

May I have some?

May I say, speaking for my own press service...

Maybe another hour.

Maybe that's one story you can get.

Maybe you would.

Me don't want girl.

Me too.

Monsignor Altomonte.

Moonlight, music.

Mr. Bradley, if you don't mind my saying so...

Mr. Bradley! Let me go! Mr. Bradley!

Mr. Bradley's just been telling me all about his work.

Mr. Hennessy has been looking for you.

Mr. Hennessy, wait till...

Mr. Joe?

Must be a pretty important date to run off without eating.

Must be quite a life you have in that school. Champagne for lunch.

Must... lead the way...

My dear, you have lovely things.

My dear, you're ill.

Naturally, she thought that the indirect would not be as direct...

Naturally, with a story of these dimensions.

Next, you disappear. Then I get the rumor from my contact at the embassy...

No milk and crackers.

No money.

No smoking in school, hmm?

No, I don't think they will.

No, I just hurried over here.

No, it isn't.

No, no, the other one.

No, nothing like that.

No, please.

No, thank you.

No, thank you. How do you do?

No, that's wrong. 11:45, conference here with the press.

No, you're not fired.

No!

No.

No. Do it all the time.

No. Do it all the time.

No. Today's gonna be a holiday.

Nobody she's come, nobody she's go.

Not on the chair. On the couch. Is that clear?

Nothing to it.

Nothing.

Now I'd better get a taxi and go back.

Now it's cool.

Now listen carefully.

Now look, take a little bit of that...

Now we must notify Their Majesties.

Now where's your lighter? Let's go to work.

Now, if you'll just lend me a little cash...

Now, look...

Now, my dear, if you don't mind, tomorrow's schedule.

Now, why you not come dancing tonight with me?

Of a princess.

Of course.

Of one of Europe's oldest ruling families.

Of Princess Ann's visit to London...

Of the day he got his job.

Of the strain of the week's continuous public appearances.

Of the strain of the week's continuous public appearances.

Off!

Off!

Off!

Off! All off!

Off.

Off.

Oh, and your slippers.

Oh, come on. You're not that drunk.

Oh, fine.

Oh, I didn't mean a work... school schedule.

Oh, I get it! That's... Joe, you got...

Oh, I see.

Oh, I'm, uh, in the selling game.

Oh, may I enjoy myself the pleasure?

Oh, no, I can't come now, Joe. I'm busy.

Oh, no, there isn't. And I've been quite enough trouble to you as it is.

Oh, not that word, please.

Oh, perfectly.

Oh, sure, yes.

Oh, thanks very much.

Oh, that's all right.

Oh, that's her first cigarette.

Oh, the general! Doctor, quick!

Oh, well, I got three shy little sevens.

Oh, well, that's hard work.

Oh, yeah. Hey, the mouth of truth.

Oh, yeah. Joe fixed it.

Oh, you mean what did she have on?

Oh.

Oh. Thank you.

Oh. Well, it was a kind of a gray.

Oh. Yeah.

Okay with me.

Okay, I won't.

Okay.

Okay.

On this one.

One more round and I'm gonna throw you gents right out in the snow.

One word in the wrong quarter, and this whole thing might blow sky high.

One, two, three, four "mille".

One.

Or else keep quiet till Mr. Hennessy and I are finished talking.

Or schedule. Whichever you prefer. Both are correct.

Or so completely unselfish.

Or, indeed, ever again.

Original.

Owing me two months rent.

Painter?

Pajamas.

Paramount News brings you a special coverage...

People come, and whenever their wishes are granted...

Photographs may now be taken.

Please put on your slippers and come away from the window.

Police. Maybe she want girl.

Practically all love angle.

Prince Istvar Barlossy Nagayavaros.

Promise not to watch me go beyond the corner.

Put to bed with a high fever...

Quite safe for me to sit up?

Quite the contrary.

Quite the contrary.

Read some of the inscriptions.

Really? How interesting. What do you sell?

Remarkable.

Remember Sant'Angelo. All my friends...

Rome. By all means, Rome.

Say, you know, you were great back there.

Say!

Screwball.

She did?

She doesn't know who I am or what I do.

She felt that the youth of the world...

She gets a royal welcome from the British...

She lives in the Coliseum.

She thought it was just fine.

She's fair game, Joe.

She's holding the press interview today. Same time, same place.

She's out there now drinking champagne that I can't pay for.

She's really the...

Since I understand we have a very full schedule today...

Since then, it's become sort of a shrine.

Sir Hugo Macey de Farmington.

Sitting here with an empty leash in your hands and nobody to twitch for you.

Sleep and calm.

Smitty?

So happy, Mr. Bradley.

So happy.

So happy.

So happy.

So happy.

So I've spent the night here...

So long, pigeon.

So many things.

So that was your mysterious appointment.

Sorry, honey, but I haven't worn a nightgown in years.

Spill? Who's been doing the spilling?

Stay calm, stay calm.

Stephen House of The London Exchange Telegraph.

Stop at the next corner, please.

Stop, stop, stop!

Stop!

Stop! Come back!

Suddenly I was crying.

Suddenly I was crying.

Suits you. You should always wear my clothes.

Suppose we split this 50 50. Here's a thousand lira.

Sure.

Sure. I just got back.

Sweetness and decency.

Take a good look at her. You might be interviewing her again someday.

Take her wherever she wants to go.

Tell me, Mr. Radovich...

Tell the doctor?

Terribly nice.

Thank you for letting me sleep in your bed.

Thank you so very much.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

Thank you, Doctor.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you, madame.

Thank you!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you... Anya.

Thanks a lot, hon.

Thanks a lot, Irving. See you at Annie's little party in the morning.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks.

That big business development of yours that you have to attend to.

That I should express the pleasure of all of us...

That might prevent you in the future from getting immersed...

That particular story would be worth five grand to any news service.

That the princess isn't sick at all and she's out on the town.

That was a shrewd observation.

That will be all, thank you, Countess.

That's 50 bucks. You gonna buy the crown jewels?

That's a nice little camera you have there. It's nice.

That's all right, thank you. I can find the place.

That's all there is to it. There is no story.

That's certainly pretty hard to swallow.

That's right. Nothing to it.

That's right. You didn't have any last night.

That's the one. I didn't know exactly how to describe it, but that's it.

That's the stuff.

The Count and Countess von Marstrand.

The direct and the indirect.

The dizziness is getting worse.

The first stop on her much publicized goodwill tour of European capitals.

The ladies and gentlemen of the press.

The last time was my father's anniversary.

The man's mad.

The mouth of truth. The legend is that if you're given to lying...

The other side of the bridge.

The pleasure's mine.

The princess and the barber.

The princess story, the exclusive. Did you get it?

The private and secret longings...

The smiling young princess showed no sign...

Then at midnight, I'll turn into a pumpkin...

Then went to Paris...

Then what was the idea of...

Then you do your sleeping on the couch, not on the bed.

There she goes again, Doctor. Give her something, please.

There you are! I look for you a long time.

There you are.

There you are.

There you are. That does it.

There you go again, Irving.

There.

There.

There.

There. The gizmo works.

There's... something that I want to tell you.

These are pajamas.

They fool you, these royal kids.

They gave me something last night to make me sleep.

They put up another one of these little plaques.

They ran over against the wall right there for shelter...

They were supposed to be inconspicuous.

They'll have a fit.

They'll help you to sleep.

They've got a lot more on the ball than we suspect.

This has given rise to rumors that her condition may be serious...

This I want back Saturday.

This is my last 5,000, and you hyenas are not gonna get it.

This is the American hour from Rome broadcasting a special news bulletin...

This is very unusual.

This is...

This must be classified as top crisis secret.

This will relax you and make Your Highness feel a little happy.

Thousand lira.

Three.

Tiber. The river by Sant'Angelo.

Tiber. The river by Sant'Angelo.

To a better...

To cry is a perfectly normal thing to do.

To do it for anyone.

To use that word again.

To withdraw.

Tomorrow you'll be sorry.

Tonight there is no further word from the bedside of Princess Ann in Rome...

Trouble?

Twenty four hours... they can't all be blank.

Two for papa.

Two pairs.

Two, please.

Two.

Uh oh.

Uncover her arm, please.

Unless it's actually unhealthy for them to continue.

Very small pink roses.

Via Margutta 51.

Via Margutta 51.

Via Margutta 51.

Wait till I sit down.

Wait'll you get a look...

Walk in the rain...

Was given by her country's ambassador to Italy.

We believe that Your Highness's faith...

We can't go running around town with a hot princess.

We got to entertain her, don't we?

We start our days at 8:30 in this office.

Well dressed...

Well, champagne "per la signorina" and cold coffee for me.

Well, each one represents a wish fulfilled.

Well, here's to his health, then.

Well, I don't know how much I need. How much have you got?

Well, I guess I'll be going.

Well, I need a little investment capital to swing the deal.

Well, I'll arrange for it to be sent back to you.

Well, I'll go along with you wherever you are going.

Well, I'll tell you what. You don't tell your folks, and I won't tell mine.

Well, in regard to the story that goes with these...

Well, it's you.

Well, just till Francesca gets here.

Well, life isn't always what one likes, is it?

Well, looks like I'll have to move...

Well, mostly you might call it public relations.

Well, now, I don't know that I'd use those words exactly.

Well, of course she did.

Well, people in that line of work almost never do quit...

Well, she thought there would be two effects.

Well, that's the general idea.

Well, that's usually what it means.

Well, then...

Well, this is what is laughingly known as my apartment.

Well, well, well.

Well, well, well.

Well, what did you say the name was?

Well, what now?

Well, what shall we do next? Shall we make out a little schedule?

Well, you say you're with the press, you can get away with anything.

Well, you're fine. Much better.

Well... small world.

Were I not completely aware of my duty to my family and my country...

What are you two guys up to? Who's Smitty?

What day it is.

What do they mean, all these inscriptions?

What do you care? You got as much chance...

What do you care? You got as much chance...

What do you know?

What do you mean "early"? My personal invitation says 11:45.

What do you mean charging in here and spilling things?

What does he do?

What is it?

What is your address?

What is your work?

What kind of newspaperman are you? You believe every two bit rumor?
