               ANOTHER ANGLE MEDIUM OLGA AND LUDWIG

             Olga: ...things Nikki took to his grave.
             Ludwig: Women other than Alexandra!
             Olga: ...things I will take to mine.
             Ludwig: You lie. You will imply anything to stop me.
             Olga: True.
             Ludwig: Katharine, you heard nothing.
             Olga: These days servants hear everything...
             Katharine: I will never speak, Sir.
             Olga: ...then they write books to tell everything.
             Katharine: Madame, I will never speak.
             Olga: Then you shall disappoint me, Katharine...I want the
               world to know the Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig is short—on
               sense.

                               ANOTHER ANGLE

             Ludwig: I am ringing up that English reporter, Roberts.
             Olga: If you recognize that girl officially, Luddie...
             Ludwig: Yes?

                                CLOSE UP OLGA

             Olga: I shall break with you forever. To me she is dead.

                              CLOSE UP LUDWIG
             Ludwig: To me she is risen.

                                CLOSE UP OLGA

             Olga: I want her to remain dead.

                    MEDIUM OLGA, LUDWIG, KATHARINE

             Ludwig: Then, Madame, good-bye. Good luck. And good rid-
               dance.
             Olga: You short old fool. Come, Katharine.
             Katharine: Yes, Madame.
