We all try -- you succeed

“What if you murdered all of us? From every corner of Europe, hundreds, thousands would rise up to take our places. Even Nazis can't kill that fast." -- Victor Laszlo, leader of the Czech Resistance. ( An Indie Casablanca RP blog ). Mun and muse 18+. Sideblog to nothingexcepthonor.

 “That’s very kind of you. I don’t often get the chance to dance with others besides Kurt.” Perhaps that was because almost everyone in Oslo believed that he was going to propose to her within the next month. Kurt was in no way a jealous man, he was in fact quite the opposite, but all the same most men kept their distance.

“You might think differently when your feet are sore tomorrow.” The comment was followed by a laugh, her eyes lighting up at the first sound of an instrument.  “It’s very nice to meet you. I’m Ilsa, and I’m quite certain you are not from Oslo, because I have lived here my entire life and I’ve never seen you before.”

“Well, then, Kurt is a very lucky man.” For a moment, he panicked, wondering if the man she was dancing with was her husband, but he didn’t see a ring. If he had been, he suspected that she would have turned him away by now. That gave him ample encouragement to add, eyes sparkling, “How wonderful it must be to have a dance partner as lovely as you are.”

He shrugged with a grin. “It’ll be worth it.” he quipped. He held out his hand as she introduced herself. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Ilsa. You are right, I’m not from Oslo--in fact, this is my first time here. Originally my family are from Hungary, but I was born in Vienna, and raised in Prague..so I consider myself a Czechoslovakian. I’m here for a concert, and some lectures--I’m a professor for the University and a writer.”

“Why yes--I must admit, miss, that I was waiting for the dance to end so that I could. I saw you from across the room and I had to.” He didn’t admit that he had circled the room so that he could watch her, hoping to cut in at some point. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

“I don’t mind.” Truly, he didn’t--much as he liked dancing, the dance was inconsequential. He wanted to talk to her, and the dance was an excuse. “Ah, this one is a Landler, one of my favorites...Schubert, I believe.” he commented upon hearing the band warm up. “Shall we, Miss..oh, forgive me, I haven’t even introduced myself. My name is Victor, Victor Laszlo.”

“David [O. Selznick] sent me the synopsis of Valley of Decision. My, what a woman’s part. It is just what he would like me to do. Just like Adam Had Four Sons. The woman is courageous, strong,sincere, GOOD BORE! She is so good all the time it makes you ill. Those governesses who bring beauty and order to upset households, and who are unhappily in love, and who sacrifice and give up everything to help others… Where is my gun!” (Ingrid Bergman)
