I Recommend The Stilton


Tim
Could you pass the salt
please, Mr Verdi ?
Of course... Here you are.
Salt is very important
stuff Tim. Did you know
that a long time ago,
people used to be paid in
salt ? That's the origin of the
word 'salary'.
Signor





Tim
I didn't know that.
Have you finished, Umberto ?
Shall I take your plate ?
Diana
Tim
Thank you.
It was delicious.
What about some cheese ?
Diana
Tim
Thank you.
Dad has two passions,
Mr Verdi perfume and
Stilton cheese. I don't know
which smells worse.
Ben


Sam
Keep your nose out of
my business, Ben.
That's easier said than done.
Ben
Signor


You have a wonderful son,
Sam. What are you going
to do when you finish
your exams, Ben ?
I don't know.
Ben
Signor
What about coming to Italy ?

It Looks Like A Winner


Sam
I fancy the grey horse.
It looks like a winner.
Oh Sam, you don't know.
anything about horses.
What do yo think, Signor?
Diana
Signor
Please, call me Umberto.
And you must call us
Sam and Diana.
Sam
Signor
With pleasure... great pleasure!
So, which horse do you
fancy, Umberto ?
Diana
Signor


I like the look of the grey
horse. But it's too heavy...
for these conditions. Big
horses prefer dry ground.
Which one are you going to
put your money on ?
Diana
Signor


To tell the truth, I rarely
gamble. In my opinion, horse
racing is matter of luck
-not judgement.
All the same, you seen to be
a good judge of horses.
Diana
Sam
Hey! There's a horse called
Dawn!
Well, that's the one to back.
And for once...
I'm going to have a bet too.
It's a lucky name !
Signor

I'd Love To, But I Can't


Nick
Hey Ben! Come and join us.
I can't.
Ben
Nick
Where are you going ?
To the library.
Ben
Nick
On a day like this ?
I'm afraid so.
Ben
Nick





Can this be true, Linda ?
Is this the good friend
we know and love...?
Is this the man who once
said:
'An hour in good company
is worth a thousand books ?'
Ben, I don't recognize you.
Where is your joy,
your love of life,
your taste for adventure ?
Linda


Julia



We need you, Ben.
We need someone
to talk to us intelligently
while we eat strawberries
and drink champagne.
Oh, shut up !
Ben
All

Come and join us.
Come on, Ben.
I'd love to, but I really can't.
I've got my exams next
month.
Ben

Linda
So has Linda. So has Nick.
Ah, but a genius like Nick,
doesn't have to revise.
Ben
Nick
Exactly.

Be Careful


Peter
It's a very attractive
proposition, Sam.
It's absolutely fantastic...
Do you realize, he's
offering to pay half the cost
of the factory ?
Sam


Peter
Are you going to accept ?
I'd be a fool not to.
Sam
Peter
I'm not so sure...
Why not ?
Sam
Peter
I think you ought to be
careful. Verdi's no fool.
For heaven's sake, Peter,
he's a friend of ours.
Sam
Peter

I know Sam.
But don't forget, he's a
businessman.
Well, it's obsivious...
On the one hand he sells
more Lovat Perfume in his
department stores.
On the other hand he has
a share in my business..
He makes money at both
ends.
Sam






Peter


Exactly...
You ought to watch out,
Sam. You might lose control
of your business.
I think you're being too
cautious, Peter.
Sam
Peter

Possibly...
but that's what you pay an
accountant for.
