hwp "You cannot walk away from love."
That was the advertisement in a Baltimore newspaper.
And that is how he found her.
She was a young woman in need of a husband.
He was a man who wanted a wife.
Too late to talk sense to him now.
You cant marry her. Youve never met her.
I meet her today. The boat from America comes at 6:00 we marry at 9:00
...by 10:00 Im back at work.
Ridiculous. This is ridiculous.
A man needs a wife, isnt that what youve been telling me? I sent for one.
From America.
What does she look like?
Comes a day in every mans life when a band is playing...
...and hes the only one who can hear it. Today is your day.
I love you, woman.
She is not beautiful.
She is not meant to be beautiful...
...just kind, true and young enough to bear children.
Go on. The sun will be up any minute. The boat will be coming in.
But what about love, Luis? Doesnt love come into this at all?
Love is not for me, Alan.
Love is for those people who believe in it.
Lets go.
Why are you laughing at me? Youve been laughing at me all morning.
Never mind. You go! Go on!
No, this is not a love story.
Butitis a story aboutlove, and the powerit has over ourlife.
The power to heal or destroy.
and this is where the story begins.
Mr. Vargas?
Luis Vargas?
You dont recognize me, do you?
Miss Russell?
Yes.
Julia Russell?
But this, this picture--
Ive deceived you. Im sorry. I shouldnt have.
I was unsure. You see...
...l didnt want you interested in me just because I owned a pretty face.
So I sent another womans photograph and not my own.
I see.
I hope you forgive me. I meant to write many times. I tried.
But my courage failed me. So l....
And....
Now I stand before you as I am, and you know the worst.
No, no.
Not the worst at all.
Only, not what I was expecting.
If my deception has altered your intentions...
...if youre not satisfied--
No, it isnt that.
...l am determined to make my way back to my home in Delaware.
-If you say so, I will. -Miss Russell....
Miss Russell...
...you have been honest with me.
I will be honest with you, too.
I will admit to a deception of my own.
You are exactly the image of your photograph.
Yes, I am.
But I wrote to you that I am a clerk...
...in a coffee export house. I am not.
I own the house.
The business is my own.
You did not want me to be interested in you...
...just because you owned a pretty bank account.
Yes.
Then we have something in common.
We are both not to be trusted.
Of course, if my deception has altered your intentions...
...if you are not interested in marrying a wealthy man....
No, I think I could manage.
If you could manage a somewhat prettier wife.
Ill make the effort.
Miss Russell.
Mr. Vargas.
Now we have all the time in the world to get to know each other.
No, not all the time.
We are going to be married at : .
Then wed better hurry.
"Take this ring...
"...as a sign of my love...
"...and fidelity...
"...to you."
Music!
Music!
Ladies and gentlemen, a toast!
To our groom and his beautiful...
...enchanting bride!
Will you dance with me?
Dance?
I dont dance.
I say you do.
May their life together be like this dance, harmonious, smooth.
Dance for life never ending and--
Alan, enough is enough.
Im almost through.
Youre through now. Sit down.
-Good luck to you. -Thank you.
Would you like to see the house?
Oh, no. I can see it tomorrow.
You must give me a few moments. Im shy of these things.
I will give you as many moments, days, nights as you need.
When you want me to come to you...
...l will.
Not before.
You would do that for me?
If you say so, yes.
Then...
...l will say good night.
The room is there, to the right.
I think Ill find it.
Awake at last.
The day is half-gone.
Im sorry. Im not dressed.
I could wait outside, but the coffee would get cold.
No, its all right.
If someone brought me my coffee every morning before I dressed...
...l would be very happy.
It would change the day.
But...
...you only drink tea.
I do? No.
When I wrote I worked in a coffee company, you wrote back--
That was my sister.
She believed coffee to be a sinful pleasure so I pretended to agree.
She read all my letters to you, so I could not always be truthful.
All the more reason to forget them. Thats all behind you.
