Butaságom története

The celebrated actor considers his wife a nitwits actress of a mediocre talent. But an influential playwright, a friend of theirs, has written a play with the main role designed for her, Kati, particularly. Its title is "The Most Intelligent Woman in the World". On the day of the first night performance Kati recalls their past, the times she had together with her husband. She was winning her husband gradually with her obstinate ingenuity, though at first, he refused even to select her to the Academy of Dramatic Arts programme. Unexpectedly, Mérey tells Kati that he has to entertain his future partner in a film, a French actress. Kati does not speak any foreign languages, so she is again saved by her bright ingenuity: she starts drawing humorous and ironic pictures to inform Jaqueline about her role in the premiere. In the evening the whole audience as well as Jaqueline are clapping enthusiastically. Mérey, however, is baffled as the very first sentences from the stage make him recognise the story of his marriage. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)
