Dangerously Yours - Masquerade (audition) 

17:13 _"... Let her think I didn't love her. ..."_ FUCK. IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE 😭😭

5:47 "look Catherine a shooting star!" 7:44 "Catherine I offer you the three things most important to me" 8:50 "you may as well take my heart Catherine" 9:16 "go please go" 11:16 "If I betray you, I betray myself" 12:29 "this is a gun in my hand Rudolph" 12:37 "well rather melodramatic aren't you " 12:45"do you mind if I smoke" 12:58 "you mean your actually going to kill me?" 13:58"you lied to me you deceived me" 14:05 "you gave me your heart you know" 14:13 "you live a long time yet Catherine" 14:25 "you'll find moonlight nights strangely empty" 16:05 "your determined to die with a lie in your lips" 17:14 "tell her the truth"

"Look Catherine a shooting star!" "Did you wish?" "OH, I din't have time." "and there is something you wish for?" "Yes" "What did you wish?" " I was wishing we were 2 other people" "Two people who need not to say goodbye." "Perhasp it can be that way."

“i wasn’t! i loved you!” always gets me. Cathrine is so irrevocably honest here.

12:24 “CATHERINE STOP TALKING LIKE A CHILD WE’RE PLAYING FOR COUNTRIES NOW” “YES, WE ARE AREN’T WE?!” ☹️☹️

12:58 “You mean you’re actually going to kill me?” “I mean just that.” “Well, go ahead”

14:24 "You'll find moonlit nights strangely empty, because when you call my name through them there will be no answer"

9:20 is my favorite part, it's just so amazing

Just finished listening to the whole thing. My sincere opinion, the dialogues are very very very touching. I mean, Katherine was indecisive about his love and was always doubting his words, and then him, talking about how long she knew her, and actually loved her(? . This is a real piece of art, because, after listening you’ll spend some minutes, hours, days thinking about all the dialogues, I really recommend to listen this piece, I want to continue all the other parts and find out more about the author, Victor Jory. Sniff sniff*

“you know nothing about me, youve known me only three weeks…” “three weeks? catherine ive known you all my life…” “all your life?” “its true, ive seen you in a thousand plays… read you in as many books.. well ive heard beautiful music, ive thought she’d like that, ive looked at flowers and known that one day id give them to you….” 9:22

I'm here because of tv girl and i'm so happy to be. I listened to all of this and i'm literally bawling. I'll for sure recommend this to someone too, because this story is so underrated and deserves to be looked at more, truly. This story writing was so moving.

oh my gods they’re so in love i love them ☹️☹️ TV Girl is so genius and so is this

8:25 RUDOLPH: "I'm going to tell you something Catherine, something that will put my life in your hands." CATHERINE: "Life?" RUDOLPH: "It would mean my life with the news to get to certain circles, yes." CATHERINE: "Then don't tell me. How do you know you can trust me?" RUDOLPH: "I love you, and I believe you love me" CATHERINE: "You're quite wrong, this has been only an adventure to me." RUDOLPH: "That isn't true, Catherine." CATHERINE: "It is true. You smiled at me, I was flattered. It was an adventure for a holiday movie." RUDOLPH: "You may as well take my heart Catherine, it's already full of you. You walked into it the day we met." CATHERINE: "You're a fool, Rudolph." RUDOLPH: "Oh, but isn't any man who falls in love? Do you know what you are to me? You're something to believe in again. You're a type of person that had ceased to exist for me, a fine and honest woman." CATHERINE: "Oh my God, darling, you're such a child. Take your foolish little dream in your heart and go, please go." RUDOLPH: "What is it? What's wrong my dear?" CATHERINE: "You know nothing about me. You've known me only three weeks." RUDOLPH: "Three weeks? Catherine, I've known you all my life." CATHERINE: "All your life?" RUDOLPH: "It's true, I've seen you in a thousand plays, read you in as many books. While I've heard beautiful music I thought she'd like that. I've looked at flowers knowing that one day I'd give them to you." CATHERINE: "Oh stop, stop. You must listen to me. I'm not that woman. Perhaps I was once, but I'm not now, you see, you were wrong, you can't trust me." RUDOLPH: "Are you trying to tell me that someone whose name we both know and won't mention?" CATHERINE: "What are you saying?" RUDOLPH: "See I've known all along." RUDOLPH: I had Albare look you up the day you arrived CATHRINE: And it... It didn't make any difference? RUDOLPH: It didn't make any difference. You see, I trust you. You came here to betray me. And to betray my country. That is your mission Countess Rishula. And yet, I am so sure of your love that I would trust you with my life, and, what is far more valuable, the life of my country CATHRINE: I will betray you RUDOLPH: If you do, you will betray yourself at the same time. CATHRINE: Yes. CATHERINE: Yes, I know. RUDOLPH: So? You shall know my secret. Even now as we sit here, there is a great network growing tighter around the foremost nations of the world. Treaties, pacts, and alliances being formed against the man who sent you. Tonight, I will sign a pact that will set the wheels in motion to destroy him. CATHERINE: Destroy him!? No! RUDOLPH: He has made a great many mistakes! The greatest of all was sending you here, Catherine. CATHERINE: Why? RUDOLPH: He knew I should love you, but he did not guess that you would fall in love with me. CATHERINE: No... He didn't guess that. RUDOLPH: And do you see that you cannot betray him?! CATHERINE: If I betray you, I betray myself... If I betray him...I betray my country. My country is very dear to me. RUDOLPH: Dearer than I? CATHRINE: No. No. Not dearer than you. RUDOLPH: Then, will you help me defeat him? CATHERINE: Help you? CATHERINE: Defeat him? RUDOLPH: By telling me his plans. That's the only way I could hope to defeat him! We can't both win. You'll see Catherine. CATHERINE: I'm beginning to see... RUDOLPH: Then you will help me? CATHRINE: By giving you any information I may possess concerning our plans? RUDOLPH: Yes. CATHRINE: You're very clever, aren't you? Oh, I can read you like a book now! You thought I was young and easily swayed! That you could make me love you? And I would throw over my country, my duty, for you? RUDOLPH: That's not the way to look at it Catherine. CATHERINE: You weren't so wise after all! Because you've lost, you hear me? Lost! You guessed wrong in our little duel of wits! You've forgot how close hate is to love! RUDOLPH: You don't know what you're saying, Catherine! CATHERINE: You never loved me! You knew that I loved you and you used that! RUDOLPH: Catherine stop talking like a child! We're playing for countries now! CATHRINE: Yes! We are! Aren't we? This is a gun in my hand, Rudolph. I'd advise you to be careful what you say. RUDOLPH: Well, rather melodramatic, aren't you? Tell me, will I be the seventh notch on your gun or the eighth? Heh, do you mind if I smoke? CATHERINE: Smoke? RUDOLPH: I always smoke at the theater. Somehow, it enhances the performance. CATHERINE: You can do anything you please, Rudolph! But you have very little time to do it in. RUDOLPH: You mean you're actually going to kill me? CATHERINE: I mean just that. RUDOLPH: Well, go ahead. CATHERINE: I'll do this my own way. Look, you already know my purpose in being here. Now you will either give me my information, or I will kill you. CATHERINE: You have until 9' o'clock. RUDOLPH: You won't do it. You can't pull the trigger. YOU CAN'T PULL IT BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME. IT TAKES A VERY BRAVE AND A VERY COLD WOMAN TO DO THAT CATHERINE. I DON'T THINK YOU CAN! Isn't it true? Isn't that why you're waiting? CATHERINE: That's not true! RUDOLPH: Or is it that you want to watch your victim? You want my heart to constrict with agony, my hands to shake, YOU WANT ME TO PLEAD FOR MY LIFE SO YOU CAN MAKE A GENEROUS GESTURE AND SPARE ME! Sorry, Catherine, I don't seem to be in the mood for prayers tonight. alxc_. on tt wrote thhis:3 CATHERINE: You don't think I'll do it do you? That's why you're so brave, you don't think I'll do it! You wouldn't be so brave otherwise! You're a coward at heart! You lied to me! You deceived me! RUDOLPH: You tried to deceive me. CATHERINE: I'm tired of listening to you! RUDOLPH: You gave me your heart you know! You'd like me to hand it back, whole again. But I won't. You'll live a long time yet, Catherine, an eternity without me. You will look into the faces of passersby, hoping for something that will, for an instant, bring me back to you. You will find moonlit nights strangely empty. because, when you call my name through them, there will be no answer. Always, your heart will be aching for me and your mind will give you the doubtful consolation that you did a brave thing. CATHERINE: You dare talk of bravery? RUDOLPH: What else do we have to talk about, Catherine? For me, there will never be another woman but you. But for my heart, there is another love that must come before you, my country. You're so still,your face is like ice. What are you thinking of, Catherine? CATHERINE: What does anything you say matter? You betrayed me with words. What good are words? Your heart is breaking. If I fail now, i should deserve to die. You tricked me into loving you. RODOLPH: Aren’t you forgetting you came here for the same purpose? CATHERINE: I couldn't betray you, I tried to tell you, you said you already knew! I was as honest as I knew how to be. RUDOLPH: Do you think I wanted to love you? Knowing where you came from and what your mission was?! Don't you suppose every hour we were together I was thinking “she’s just pretending” ?! CATHERINE: I wasnt! I loved you! RUDOLPH:And I loved you so much I let you pretend. Because, you brought something to my days i couldnt stand the thought of losing. Listen to your heart catherine. Feel it pounding. CATHERINE: Your time is up. RUDOLPH:In my last words, I Love you catherine. CATHERINE: ARE YOU DETERMINED TO DIE WITH A LIE ON YOUR LIPS?! Gun shot RUDOLPH:I…Love you catherine.. CATHERINE: Oh god.. Random rambaling that im not fucking writing RUDOLPH:Tell her the truth?. Tell her the truth so that she will watch the stars through tears instead of following the one cold star that is our destiny? No no..Let her think, i never loved her. One day she will follow a flag to the same fate as mine. We must leave her that strength for that hour.

Absolutely beautiful storytelling. Quite a unique one at that. I never get to see and kind of sad romance story's that are portrayed in a loving manor. Not only does it include genuine love, but has secrets, lies, passion, and 10/10 writing. I wish there were more story's like this, simple but mesmerizing.

Wow I just came here for the TV girl song , but damn I'm facinated this is such an beautiful story.

15:36 her voice in this... I want to cry

Yes, TV Girl did sample text and parts of this old-time radio episode itself in the songs "The Getaway" (2014) and "Cigarettes Out the Window" (2016). This was an audition episode for the radio series "Dangerously Yours", recorded June 20, 1944. I added a comment to this Reddit post, www.reddit.com/r/tvgirl/comments/gkeeqm/comment/hvy9r0r/.

This is such a beautiful audition, it has such a deep and beautiful meaning.

14:12 is my favorite line

you'll live a long time yet kathryn, an eternity without me. you will look into the face off passers by, hoping for something that will for an instant, bring me back to you. you'll find moonlit nights strangely empty because when you call my name through then there will be no answer. always your heart will be aching for me and your mind will give you the doubtful consolation that you did a brave thing. 14:13 rather melodramatic aren't you? 12:37 you mind if i smoke? i always smoke at the theater 12:46

I love so much their voices and dialogues, this piece is very touching, emotional and delicate, really dear to me in 7:45 is the most beautiful part for me, I love how he love her and how he is so dramatic in way that he told her about his love.

This was so good I'm so glad the lines from it got popular and showed up everywhere making me have to watch this.

14:25 sound from cigarettes out the window by TV Girl

"You must tell her the truth before its-before its too late.." "Tell her the truth? Tell her so that she would watch the stars through tears instead of following the one cold star that is her destiny?" "No, no.. let her think, ive never loved her. One day, she will follow a flag to the same fate as mine, we must leave her the strength for that hour." 17:12

A moment of silence for those who only listened to Cigarettes out the Window by TV Girl and didn't bother to look further for more.

"Please go" "What is it, what's wrong my dear" "You know nothing about me, you've known me only three weeks" "Three weeks? Catherine I've known you all my life" "All your life.." "It's true I've seen you in a thousand plays read you in as many books when i heard beautiful music ⟟ thought she'd like that. I've looked at flowers knowing that one day I'd give them to you" "Oh stop, stop you must listen to me, I'm not that woman perhaps ⟟ was once but not now you see, you were wrong you can't trust me" "Are you trying to tell me that someone whose name we both know and won't mention sent you" "What are you saying?" "You see I've known all along , ⟟ had albear look you up the day you arrived" "And.. it didn't make any difference?" "It didn't make any difference, you see, i trust you, you came here to betray me and to betray my country that is your mission countess Rissalah and yet ⟟ am so sure of your love that ⟟ will trust you with my life and what is far more valuable the life of my country." "⟟ will betray you." "If you do you will betray yourself at the same time" "Yeah.. yes ⟟ know." "So you shall know my secret. Even now as we sit here there is a great Network growing tighter around the foremost nations of the world, treaties pacts alliances formed against the man who sent you. Tonight ⟟ will set a pact that will sent the wheels in motion to destroy him." "Destroy him!?, no!" "He's made a great too many mistakes. The greatest of all was sending you here, Catherine." "Why?" "He knew ⟟ should love you, but he did not guess that you, would fall in love with me" "No, he didn't guess that.." "Then you do see that you cannot betray him." "If ⟟ betray you, ⟟ betray myself, if ⟟ betray him ⟟ betray my country.. my country is very dear to me.." "Dearer than ⟟?" "No.. not dearer than you" "Then will you help me defeat him?" "Help you.. defeat him?" "By telling me his plans, that's the only way ⟟ can hope to defeat him, we can't both win your seat Catherine" "I'm beginning to see" "And you will help me" "By giving you any information ⟟ may possess turning our plans?" "Yes" "You're very clever aren't you, oh ⟟ can read you like a book now. You thought ⟟ was young and easily swayed, that you can make me love you, and ⟟ would throw over my country, my duty for you." "That's not the way to look at it Catherine." "You weren't so wise after all, because you've lost you hear me? Lost! You guessed wrong in our little duel of wits, you forgot how close hate is to love." "You don't know what you're saying Catherine." "You never loved me, you knew that ⟟ loved you and you used that!" "Catherine stop talking like a child we're playing for countries now" "Yes, we are aren't we? This is a gun in my hand Rudolph. I'd advise you to be careful of what you say." "Well.. rather melodramatic aren't you, tell me will ⟟ be the seventh notch on the gun or the eighth.. hahah. Do you mind if ⟟ smoke?" "Smoke?" "⟟ always smoke with the theater, somehow it enhances the performance." "You can do anything you please Rudolph. But you have very little time to do it in." "You mean you're actually going to kill me?" "⟟ mean just that." "Well, go ahead" "I'll do this my own way, look, you already know my purpose in being here, now you will either give me my information or ⟟ will kill you. You have until 9 o'clock." "You won't do it. You can't pull the trigger you can't pull it because you love me. It takes a very brave and cold hearted woman to do that Catherine, ⟟ don't think you can. Isn't that true. Isn't that why you're waiting" "That's not true" "Or is it that you want to watch your victim. You want my heart to constrict with agony my hands to shake, you want me to plead for my life so you can make a generous gesture and spare me. Sorry Catherine ⟟ don't seem to be in the mood for prayers tonight " "You dare to talk of bravery." "What else do we have to talk about Catherine for me there will never be another woman but you. But for my heart there is another love that must come before you. My country. You are so still. Your face is like ice. What are you thinking Catherine" "Why does anything you can say matter, you betrayed me with words. What good are words your heart is breaking if ⟟ fail now, ⟟ should deserve to die. You tricked me into loving you." "Aren't you forgetting that you came here for the same purpose" "⟟ couldn't have betrayed you ⟟ tried to tell you, you said you already knew. ⟟ was as honest as ⟟ knew how to be." "Do you think ⟟ wanted to love you? Knowing where you came from and what your mission was? Don't you suppose that every hour we spent together ⟟ was thinking *she's just pretending* " "⟟ wasn't!! ⟟ loved you!" "And ⟟ loved you so much ⟟ let you pretend. Because you brought something to my days that ⟟ couldn't stand the thought of losing. Listen to your heart Catherine. Feel it *pounding* " "Your time is up" "In my last words.. ⟟ *love* you.. Catherine" "You're determined to die with a lie on your lips?!" (Gunshot) "⟟.. love you.. Catherine.." "Oh god.." "Albear.. Albear.." "How are you sir? ⟟ heard a shot." "Help me up. I'll be alright help me up." "Oh ⟟ knew you should never come here. I'll get a doctor." "No, no no no. It's too late" "⟟ was at the door like you told me sir the other woman went downstairs about 10 minutes ago. Please let me get a doctor sir." "No, no. ⟟- ⟟ want you to send a message though at once. The usual destination." "Yes sir." "Calling off.. the masquerade is over. X32 reports that Countess rissalah is trustworthy and loyal. You may entrust in her care any documents she will not betray you. Report case 2:55 closed x32. Conceal it as usual Albear in a silver pencil. Please let me call her back. You must tell her the truth before it's- before it's too late!" "Tell her the truth.. tell her the truth so that she will watch the stars in tears instead of following the one cold star that is our destiny? No no albear. Let her think ⟟ never loved her. One day, she will follow a flag to the same fate as mine. We must leave her the strength for that hour.

NOOO HE WAS AN UNDERCOVER SPY SENT TO TEST HER LOYALTY AND TO SEE IF SHE WOULD BETRAY HER COUNTRY BUT HE FELL IN LOVE WITH HER EUEUEUEUEEUUE this is actually awful. i’m so sad.

honestly, I must admit. I was absolutely delighted to finally listen to this wonderful piece. However, I soon was appalled at thee ending despite already being aware of the plot. I will forever hold Miss Katherine and Sir Rudolph in my heart. It was a splendid piece to listen to, though I do not believe love like this, still continues to exist. One may only dream of such love. This may be one of the few things I hold dearest to my heart. Despite the short length, it made a huge impact on my being. Perhaps I should stare out of my melancholy window and decide if this life is still worth living.

You'll live a long time yet Cathryn, an eternity without me.. You will look into the faces of passers by hoping for something that will, for an instant, bring me back to you. You will find moonlight night strangely empty because, when you call my name through them, there will be no answer.. ( 14:13 )

14:20 heres the part that was sampled out and used in Cigarettes Out the Window by TV Girl UR WELCOME
