Next morning, Joe wakes up late.
Joe:HOIy smoke, the princess interview. Eleven forty-five.
Anne: Hmm.
Hush he hastens to his ice.
Man: Hi, Joe-
Secretary: Good morning, Joe.
Joe: Hello, honey.
Secretary: Mr. Hennessy has been looking for you.
Joe: Uh-oh. Thanks a lot, honey.
Joe knocks at the door of Mr, Hennessy's office.
Hennessy: Comein!
Joe: You 've been looking for me ?
Hennessy: Just coming in to work ?
Joe: Who ? Me ?
Hennessy: We start our days at 8: 30 in the office. We pick up our assignments...
Joe: I picked mine up last night.
Hennessy: What assignment was that ?
Joe: The princess, 11: 45.
Hennessy: You 've alreadY been to the interview ?
Joe: Sure, ljust got back.
Hennessy: Well, well, well. All my apologies.
Joe : It 's atl right
Hennessy: This is very interesting.
Joe: No, just routine．
Hennessy: Tell me, tell me. did she 8nswer atl the questions on
the list ?
Joe: Well, of course she did. l've got them right here somewhere.
Hennessy: Don't disturb yourself. I have a copy here. How did Her Highness react to the idea of a European Federation ?
Joe: Thought it was just fine.
Hennessy: She did ?
Joe: Well, she thought that there'd be two eff8cts.
Hannessy: Two.
Joe: The direct and indirect.
Hennessy: Remarkable.
Joe: NaturaIIy she thought that the indirect may not be as direct as the direct. At least not right away. Later on, of course, well, nobody knows.
Hennessy: Welt, well, well. That was a shrewd observation. They fool you, you know these Royal kids. They've got a lot more on the ball than we suspect. How did she feel about the future friendship of nations ?
Joe: Youth. She felt that the youth of the world must lead the way to a better world.
Ht}nnessy: Original By the way, what was she wearing ?
Joe: You mean, what did she have on ?
Hennsssy: Well, that's usually what it means. What's the matter, is it a little warm in here for you
Joe: No, no just hurried over here.
Hennessy: Oh, that is sure with a story of these dimensions. Did you say she was wearing gray ?
Joa: No, I didn't say that.
Hennessy: Well, she usuaIIY wears gray.
Joe: Oh, well... er... it was a kind of a gray-
Hennessy: Oh, I think I know the dress you mean. It has a gold collar
Joe: That's the one. I didn't know exactIy how to describe it, but that's it.
Hennessy: I think you described it very well. In view with the fact that our Highness was taken VtIy ill at three o'clock this morning, put to bed with a high fever and has had all her appointments for today canceled in total!
Joe: In total...
Hennsssy: Yes, Mr. Bradley, in total,
Joe: Certainly pretty hard to swallow.
Hennessy: view of the fact that you just left her, of course. But here it is, Mr. Bradley. All over the front page of every newspaper in Rome!
Joe: All right, all right. I overslept. It can happen to anybody.

乔别无选择，只好带安妮回他的房间。
安妮：这是电梯吗？
乔：这是我的房间。
安妮：我这样说，很抱歉，但事情越来越糟了。我能睡在这里吗？
乔：大概可以吧。
安妮：有带玫瑰花蕾的丝绸睡袍吗，7
乔从衣橱里拿出了一件睡衣。
乔：你今晚就凑合一下，穿这件吧。
安妮：睡衣！
乔：对不起，宝贝，我已有好几年不穿睡袍了。
安妮：帮我把衣服脱了，好吗？
安妮：太好了。
乔：给你睡衣，睡觉穿的。穿好了睡，你明白吗？
安妮：谢谢。
乔：你要睡在沙发上，明白吧。不是床上，也不是椅子上，沙
发上。听清楚了吗？
乔：行，好。其他的你可以白芦实。
乔打开一瓶酒，给茸己霭阿州杯：
安妮：我可以喝每饨？
乔：不行。
安妮：这非同寻常、嚣．Lt箭册襄沿唐翻要人纳处过，甚至穿着衣服时也没有过，不穿衣服就夏觎甫；避了。我倒不介意，你介意吗？
乔：我想我到外面喝杯咖啡。你最好睡吧，不，不，不，是睡在这个上。（乔让安妮睡沙发
安妮：你知道我最喜欢的一首诗吗？
乔：你已经给我背诵过了。
安妮：“我拒绝阿克罗色朗尼亚山冰雪之椅中的玫瑰。"济慈。
乔：是雪莱。
安妮：是济慈J
乔：你只需把心思从诗歌上收回来，放在睡衣上，一切就都没事
了，明白吗7
安妮：是济慈J
乔：我会……是雪莱……我大约1 0分钟后回来。
安妮：是济慈。我恩准你退下。
乔：非常感谢。
乔走了出去0 1 0分钟后，当他回到家时，发现安妮已经酣睡
第二天早上，乔醒来得很晚。
乔：天哪，采访公主0 1 1点45分。
安妮：嗯。
乔：嘘。
他匆匆赶到了办公室。
男：乔，你好。
亨尼西：进来I
乔：你在找我7
亨尼西：才来上班吧？
乔：谁？我？
亨尼西：我们8点半上班，我们分派的任务……
乔：我昨晚就接到分派的任务了。
亨尼西：你接到了什么任务？
乔：1 1点45分采访公主。
亨尼西：你已经去采访了吗7
乔：当然，我刚回来。
亨尼西：好，好，好，我向你道歉。
乔：没事儿。
亨尼西：这很有趣。
乔：不，只是例行公事。
亨尼西：告诉我，告诉我，她回答了你列出的所有问题吗？
乔：噢，她当然回答了。答案就在这里。
亨尼西：别麻烦了，我这里有备份。在欧盟构想上，公主殿下作何反应？
乔：认为挺不错的。
亨尼西：她是这样说的吗？
乔：嗯，她认为可能有两种影响
亨尼西：两种。
乔：间接影响和直接影响。
亨尼西：不错。
乔：她认为间接影响不可能会像直接影响那样直接，至少不会是即时的影响，是以后的事，嗯，无人知道。
亨尼西：好，好，好，好精辟的见解。你知道，这群皇家孩子蒙
骗了你。他们在舞会上得到的内情比我们猜测的要多得多。那她对各国未来的关系有何看法？
乔：年轻人。她认为年轻人是世界的未来，必须往美好的方向发展。
亨尼西：真有创意。顺便问一下，她今天穿什么衣服？
乔：你是说，她穿什么？
亨尼西：噢，通常就是这意思。怎么了？这里太热了？
乔：不，不，我只是刚赶回来。
亨尼西：噢，当然还带来一个诸如此类的故事。你是说她穿着灰 色吗？
乔：不，我没那样说。
亨尼西：噢，她通常穿灰色的衣服。
乔：嗅，这个……呃……是一种灰色。
亨尼西：噢，我想我知道你指的那种衣服，是有金领的那种。
乔：就是这种，我不知该如何描述才确切，但就是这种。
亨尼西：我认为你描述得很好。可鉴于事实，我们的公主殿下今天凌晨3点身患重病卧床不起，今天的活动全部取消！
乔：全部……
亨尼西：是的，布拉德利先生，是全部。
乔：真是难以置信。
亨尼西：鉴于你说的刚离开她的事实，当然会这样。不过，布拉 德利先生，请看看罗马各家报纸的头版吧l
乔：好了，好了，我睡过头了。谁都可能这样。
