Goodbye Again (1961) Movie Script
- Here it is. Thanks.
- Thank you Madam.
- Good evening, Mrs. Tessier.
- Hello. Is Gaby at my house?
Yes yes. She can go up.
Gaby!
- Gaby, I'm late. Did you call?
- No, madam.
It was not possible to catch a taxi.
Is the dress ready?
- Oui, madam.
- Be good and draw me a bath.
Not too hot.
Oh, my zipper!
Never go to... No, that's fine.
Oh, Gabby. Where did you put mine...?
No, forget it, I already found it.
Tonight I will take the jacket.
- Did you sew the dress belt?
- Oui, madam.
I didn't listen, madam. Yes ma'am. You
You have to learn my language.
Oui...
Yes, ma'am.
Serve you. Say no
I am, I just left.
Al ?
- Yes, sir. Oui, monsieur.
- Okay, I'll answer!
- One moment please.
- Take care of the water, Gaby.
Roger, darling...
I'm sorry, but I'm going to be late.
Paris traffic this
moment is really...
What?
Can't you? Oh no,
Roger, not again.
I know it's work, but...
is that tonight
It's very special.
It's our fifth anniversary.
From what? From the night when
We found.
No, no, I understand.
Yes, tomorrow is great.
Goodnight darling.
Goodnight.
Men do a lot of good
work meetings.
Yes, very good.
If I were you
gave him an ultimatum.
What kind of ultimatum?
Are we married? Because otherwise...
I already told you that we don't want
to marry. He doesn't want to.
We've both been married, you
he knows. And we learned the same thing.
People should be together
because they want to, not because they have to.
- Freedom is something precious.
- For him, not for you.
- Gaby!
- He goes out with other girls.
- Yes.
- You don't go out with other men.
I don't want to.
What freedom.
You care too much about me.
Mom says when
if you're young it doesn't matter,
but when
grows old, must get married.
- Gaby... So I'm old now?
- No!...
But it's very lonely.
I'm sorry about last night.
- It was a terrible week.
- Yes, I know, Roger.
- I have an agreement in Ghana.
I keep trying to close in
Denmark but the Dutch failed.
And there are no transfers from America
for the strike. This is not fun at all.
No.
I should leave everything and live in the country
in a cabin by the river?
You wouldn't know what
do with yourself.
Couldn't live without your
trucks, nor their tractors
or your life in the city with
your nights in Paris...
But lately it's been
driving too fast.
I know. This is a sign of what?
Am I trying to look young?
You will never be old.
I adore you. You understand everything I say,
answers all my questions.
- Yes, I am remarkable.
- You are.
How many times have
will I have done this?
Turn on the radio while you take me
home after dinner.
Paula.
I'm being very
selfish with you?
No, Roger.
It's just that sometimes I feel alone.
I'm not that young
I miss you. But I know how much
means your work to you.
- And do you know how much you mean to me?
- I think so.
Oh, I forgot. Today
I had lunch with Jacques Bunnell.
He has a friend who needs a
decorator for the new apartment.
The name and address.
He must go and see her tomorrow.
- Thanks.
- It looks like there's money there.
He would come to me at a good time.
Well, good night.
I'll let you sleep.
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
- Listen, I...
- What there was?
We were looking for you.
You like small things,
Do you like nonsense?
Because if you like it, so do I.
Good morning, Suzanne!
Good morning, Mr. Philip.
Do you like walking?
So I like...
to go for a walk.
Good morning.
- Good morning.
- I'm Philip Van der Besh.
- Did you come to see my mother?
- Yes.
- Don't you want to sit down?
- I hope it's not too early.
Oh, no. It's already up.
Is it through the apartment?
Yes.
It will do you good
small tidying.
Well, I wonder where
They sit when there are more than three.
I don't know. I work all day, and when
When I arrive I go straight to bed.
- You must work a lot.
- Yes, indeed. I'm a lawyer.
I never go to bed before midnight.
And I get up before dawn.
Now it's almost 11am.
Yes well...
Well, it's very rare...
My most important client
He was guillotined today.
Guillotined! My
God! Is he dead?
No, the truth is that I don't work
very. Cigarette? Yes, thank you.
Where is...?
Thanks.
- Is it still raining?
- No.
It's not raining anymore.
Well, there's not much to say, right?
I don't know her. If I knew, I would say
I was delighted to see it again.
- Why?
- I don't know. Just because.
- Suzanne, is Mr. Philip gone?
- Quickly, Mommy. When were you born?
- Philip.
- Yes, mom.
Oh, there it is. She should leave the house first
11am from time to time.
Yes, mom, I'm going. I don't understand
how Mr. Fleury supports it.
Oh, it's easy, you're his richest client.
Goodbye. I hope to see you again.
Good luck.
Excuse me, did you want to see me?
Mr. Bunnell asked me to come
see her this morning. Jacques Bunnell.
- He said he spoke to you...
- Oh yes. You are the decorator.
He spoke very highly of you.
Before anything else, there is
something I want to make clear.
If there's anything I can't stand, it's
people who try to take advantage...
Suzanne!
Suzanne!
You have to call thousands of
times. Don't get me wrong.
I want the apartment to look good,
but there are many ways to do it.
- There was a young man...
- Madam?
- What?
- Did you call me, madam?
What? Ah yes yes.
Suzanne, I already told you not to
leave the windows open.
- Don't leave the windows open?
- Oui, madam
- Well, remember.
- Oui, madam.
You won't remember. They say that the
servants are cheaper here.
But they make me nervous.
What was I saying?
That there was a young man...
A youngster? Ah yes, the decorator.
Well, it didn't last long.
I met Robbers in my time...
Sit down, darling.
But he was a shameless thief.
- When were you born?
- I'm sorry?
When were you born?
Oh, you don't need to say the year.
I would never ask that.
- The month.
- In June.
- What day in June?
- 13.
Oh, twins. How interesting.
I suppose you don't remember
so cool. No, no, I'm afraid not...
Oh, what a shame.
Well, we take care of the floor
lower in Louis XV style?
It will cost a little more. If you want
maintain the furniture you own.
Certainly. Come,
I'll show you the house.
These things have already filled the space.
It's time for them to pay their way.
My son studies law
International and we travel a lot.
But now let's spend some time
in Paris. Do you know Philip?
You have to know him.
It's a charm. Yes...
And he's a brilliant boy, but not
I understand what's going through your head.
- This is the dining room.
- Yes.
- I'm sorry about your arm.
- Arm? What arm?
What makes it so...
Yes? I hadn't noticed.
I'll have to look into that.
As for the living room
to have lunch. I believe that here...
- Taxi! -
Can I take it?
Haven't you been here all this time?
No. She had things to do.
But she passed by here.
I'm going to the Boulevard
Haussmann. Great.
- He is sure?
- Yes.
It's an art to get in here.
- All good?
- It's nothing. It happens.
Am I too fast?
No, I'm used to it. I have a friend who
drive like that. He says it helps him stay young.
- Does he want to be young?
- Yes.
I don't. I think he was born under the sign
Suitable for apartment decoration.
- I hope so.
- Do you believe in the stars?
No. Your mother seems
be governed by them.
This is convenient. If the stars rule you,
You don't need to take responsibility.
Do they seem strange to you?
Yes, in a sense.
But I'm not that much. I'm acting.
It seems like a family thing.
How's your arm?
Good.
Make mom pay in advance. She is rich
and stingy, she doesn't like paying bills.
I shouldn't talk
like your mother.
I say what I want, I'm not
child. How old is?
And you?
What's the fun?
- The whistle of admiration.
- It's more admiration than you think.
Thanks.
- Do you want to have lunch with me one day?
- No.
So, without further ado? No?
So, without further ado.
Sorry. I didn't mean to be rude. But
I have a lot of work to go out for lunch.
- And now with your mother's house...
- I understand.
- Here, on the right, please.
- Right.
- Well, thank you very much.
- It was nothing.
Well, goodbye.
- Good morning.
- Good morning, Mr. Van der Besh.
- Good morning, Mr. Philip.
- Good morning, Helene.
- Good morning, Alice.
- Good morning.
He called three times.
- Why?
- How will I know?
It must be the Guillaut report.
- I gave it yesterday.
- So that's why.
- What...? What it was? Are you injured?
- No, I'm fine.
Well well. Let me go. No.
You and your jokes.
This is serious!
Alice. I met someone this morning.
I know... The girl
most beautiful in the world.
No, a woman.
Warm, charming, happy...
And yet sad. There was one
deep sadness in his eyes.
Why?
- I don't know.
- Your husband?
- What a husband?
- Aren't you married?
- How will I know?
- Don't you think you should find out?
- But what difference does it make?
-Ah, sorry.
If so, it should not be
a good marriage. Not happy.
No, she could only
be happy with you. Exactly.
- Yes?
- Mr Van der Besh.
Ah, good morning, sir. No, they are...
six... six tens. Thanks.
- Pardon me. - I expect
let you know what time it is.
Yes yes. Oh God. I am really sorry.
I entertained myself at home.
In the morning, my mother
I wasn't well.
I just called her 5 minutes ago,
and seemed to be in perfect health.
Yes, well... it's much better already.
Thanks. Thanks for asking.
I read the Guillaut report.
There is no need to talk about the
consideration I feel for your family.
And you know I accepted it
right in my office.
Yes.
But he doesn't seem to have ambition. No
shows a desire to work. Why?
This is not a report.
Does not make any citations,
nor does it present any
law that supports the case.
What do you think you were doing?
- I don't know.
- Don't you mind?
- Yes.
- And then?
I don't know what I'm doing.
Studying French legislation, I hope.
No. I mean what I'm doing,
to prove that I'm alive.
Are you trying to be funny?
No.
I want to know... how you live.
For example, I just realized
that I never fell in love.
Well, I have. Redo
this report.
What is your name?
I don't know.
- Two whiskeys, please.
- Yes, Claude.
You look beautiful tonight.
He always tells me that when I put it on
this dress. It's not the dress.
- How are you, Roger?
- Well thanks.
- How did you find out about this place?
- I don't know.
I come here with people
of business. Hello.
- Goodnight.
- He seems to know everyone.
No, it was just one of those
nights. That's all. Goodnight.
- They look very young, don't they?
- Young people? I don't think so.
What do you say about him?
No, but try to be.
Waiter. I'm afraid I have to leave
earlier tonight.
Didn't I tell you?
I got the job.
Yes. That card you
gave me, by Jacques Bunnell.
- Oh, did you go?
- This morning. His name is Van der Besh.
She is a rich woman who travels
the world, but they give you the feeling of...
Hello.
Hello. How curious.
He is her son.
- Mr Van der Besh, Mr Desmarest.
- Goodnight.
- I knew I would find her.
- Were you looking for me?
- Yes.
- Great.
I looked everywhere
and it was here the whole time.
Not everywhere.
We went to dinner in Berkeley.
I started to wonder if
Was it real or just a dream.
Waiter, waiter. Two
Whiskeys, please.
This place is
becoming very popular.
Are you married?
I hoped it wouldn't be.
Check it out!
Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I think
who said something he shouldn't have.
Hey!
Would you like a coffee?
No, I hate coffee.
I'll take one of these...
to lighten up the monotony.
It won't change much. I'll be right back.
This is a real man.
Strong, confident, self-assured.
Nothing is that simple.
Do you love him?
That's none of your business.
Oh, sorry.
Funny, I didn't do anything else in
all day besides apologizing.
Claude, Claude, three whiskeys,
please. Yes, Mr. Desmarest.
Hello.
Why, hello.
What a small world.
Full of delicious surprises.
- I'm afraid I don't remember where...
- Honey, do you have my lighter?
Oh, darling,
remember...? Mr. Cherel, Mr....
-Desmarest. Roger Desmarest.
- Oh yeah.
- Goodnight.
- Here you go, Mr. Desmarest.
Thank you, Claude.
I'm glad I saw you.
- See you later.
- Goodnight.
I realized I don't know your name.
Well, here we are.
Sir,
sorry if I said something...
We all drink too much
at any moment. Do you want to dance, dear?
I would love. Excuse me.
Do you mind?
Thanks.
- We'll be back, don't worry.
- Let's go to Regina's. Want to come?
Come, Philip.
- A strange boy.
- It's not strange.
Just very young and a little drunk.
I looked for her all over Paris and began to
ask myself if it was real or just a dream.
Congratulations, Paula.
It's just a boy
and terribly insecure.
Insecure? A young man looking for you
all over Paris, take your hand
and asks if she is married?
It's not my idea of insecurity.
Well, it's been a long time since anyone
he goes all over Paris looking for me.
- And you like it, don't you?
- Of course.
Oh, he's gone.
Great, now I can
finish my drink.
Excuse me.
Pardon me.
Excuse me.
Roger, I have to go. Otherwise,
Tomorrow it will look like I'm 100 years old.
Come on, I was starting to like this.
Paula, he's going to break the window.
- Honey, please take him.
- Right. Come come.
- I am fine. No, no, I'm fine.
- Yes, whatever you say.
- I am fine.
- Look for the key.
- I have my key.
- Where is it?
- I won't tell you.
- Oh, please.
Do you know that your little Van der
Besh starts to bore me? Yes.
- Who is this?
- Here it is.
- My keys.
- Can you alone?
Of course.
Goodnight.
One moment!
Goodnight.
- All good.
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
- In other words, good night.
Roger!
- I'm sorry it was bad.
- No, it was very funny.
- Well, good night, dear.
- Can I come up for a drink?
One moment.
No, this is to cover a
chair for Margo Glenville.
Margo Glenville can go to...
I want it and I will have it. Then it's decided.
I have to go. Will it be my package?
Here. But it won't be okay with your ardor.
Nothing will last.
- Am I coming tomorrow?
- Yes, some dresses will arrive.
I came around 6am.
Bye my Love.
Hello.
- I came to apologize.
- No need.
And please be thankful
to your husband.
How's your head? I will survive.
I'm not sure I want it.
Seems a bit...
She should get some sleep.
- The fact is that I'm hungry.
- Then eat.
That's why I came. I know you are
busy, but would you eat with me?
- To compensate.
- No need.
But I want.
What do you have in store for you?
stars today? Did your mother say?
Yes.
I need to persevere in what I do,
no matter how useless it seems.
He's acting again.
Please.
It's a beautiful day. We can have lunch
in the field. I have a car.
Or in Bois. If you stay
If you're bored, you can call a taxi.
Think about everything.
Ah, another sock. I think your
girlfriends wear pants.
- I don't have any girlfriend.
- Why not?
I don't know.
Try to think. When did this start
your general abandonment?
Well, I've met many
girls, but it never lasted.
I think it's mine
fault. They are so young...
- What's wrong?
- I don't know. It must be me.
For example, the last...
She was beautiful, and just like the
older people imagine they are young people.
And how do you imagine
older are the young?
You know. They try to appear
wickedly decadent.
They run in their carts at full speed
speed, with teeth clenched.
And light a cigarette when
open your eyes in the morning.
And she kept telling me
that love was nothing more than
than the contact of two skins.
- And you?
- I think love is more than that.
She cried when I left her.
I'm not proud of that. I hate the end
of things, the goodbyes, the goodbyes.
Then you shouldn't
never fall in love.
True?
I hope not.
Do you love your husband?
I don't have a husband.
Here it is, sir, a dry double.
Thanks. After last night
should drink water.
- I feel good. Give me courage.
- Did I intimidate you?
No, but I'm afraid you'll get bored. You can
to think I'm one of those spoiled young men
who find a pleasant job
that your parents can afford
and that's what they're busy with
trying to keep busy.
- Is that what you think of yourself?
- No. I like my job.
Doesn't sound very enthusiastic.
Business Law? Nothing is more
boring. But Criminal Law...
Why don't you dedicate yourself to this one?
In my family, we don't practice
Criminal Law. That doesn't happen.
Have you ever seen anyone
murder trial?
It's wonderful. In each country it is different, and
equally exciting in its own way.
In America, it's Why did you lie?
I didn't lie. I had the gun in my hand. "Protest."
Bullshit, O'Toole,
you threatened to kill him.
It wasn't me. I was trapped.
I protest . I accept . Excellence .
In France it's different.
The French have logic,
sophistry and sense of drama.
I accuse...
Forgiveness.
I accuse in the name of the dead, of running away
of his duty as a human being.
The accusation of letting love pass by,
of neglecting your duty to be happy,
living on the run, in
subterfuge and resignation.
He should be sentenced to death.
You will be condemned to solitude.
- A horrible sentence.
- The worst.
The worst and scariest.
Being alone, without love, right?
Yes.
I must seem more ridiculous to you
than last night.
- No.
- Or do you think I'm acting...?
No, I was thinking about myself.
But I also thought she was young
too much to feel these things.
- Alone and without love.
- Don't you know?
No.
Either way, it takes two.
It's not enough to love,
You need to be loved.
- Looks sad.
- No, I'm not.
I would like to...
I would like to...
I don't really know her,
but I would like
believe that you are happy.
Here's good.
Well, thanks for the meal.
Goodbye.
- Where are you going?
- Make some calls.
Can I go with you? No. I am
very good. Thanks again.
- Can't I accompany you?
- No. Goodbye.
Hello.
I thought I could take your
packages. Or accompany her to the store.
Please don't get tired
of me. I couldn't bear it.
You really are a boy. Must have
I was very spoiled as a child.
Oh yes. My mother gave me everything.
It was easier than saying no.
- And your father?
- We left him when I was 7 years old.
Since then we have been traveling, my mother
and me. Your home is where your heart is.
- And it broadens your mind to travel.
- You're right.
I have a lot of useless information,
I made thousands of acquaintances...
without the weight of friendship.
I've been to 27 different schools
and I can say "I love you"
in 13 different languages.
- It's not bad. Good...
- That's my favorite.
- Yes, I love you in Norwegian.
- Was it a Norwegian who taught you?
Yes, this is the syllable that
but it adds emotion.
- Well, we're here. Goodbye.
- Wait, wait a minute.
Yes?
- Do you like Brahms?
- What?
There will be a good concert,
Sunday, at Salle Pleyel.
Brahms. Do you like Brahms?
What it was? The last time I
They asked that when I was 17 years old.
- And what did you say?
- Yes. She was in love.
We went to the concert and sat in the
stage holding hands, listening to... Brahms?
Well, I don't have
sure, but it was beautiful.
- So you like it.
- I don't know. It was a long time ago.
Don't you want to come with me
to find out?
This weekend I have plans.
I'm trying to let myself be free.
It will be because of... the man with
Who was there last night?
- Yes.
- Is it permanent?
Yes bye.
Thanks again.
How funny.
What? Men always
smoke afterwards.
- Oh, huh? I never noticed.
- Yes, they always smoke.
- Can I have one?
- Yes.
Maisie, you know a lot of interesting things,
Why do you insist on calling me Maisie?
I have a bad memory with names.
It makes life easier.
- Do you call all your girls Maisie?
- Yes.
It looks very nice.
Which Maisie am I? Maisie number 7?
Maisie is 27?
Maisie number 127?
Maisie #1.
Oh, how gallant. A little more
Champagne, please.
I was happy that you had
Went to the cocktail party this afternoon.
Me too. But I don't know why
chose among so many handsome men.
They are nothing more than children.
They talk and talk.
They just like to talk.
But you...
The moment I saw you I knew
what you had in mind.
Don't laugh. It's very rare lately.
Ask any girl.
How did you get rid of Cherel?
Oh, poor Andrew.
It's fun in the cinema, but if
If you knew how boring it is...
I'll never know.
Don't worry about him.
Rogers,
Let's go out at the weekend. You will certainly
know beautiful places near Paris.
You're free, aren't you?
Someone told me that
was committed. Is it true?
No, no. I am free.
Yes dear.
Yes. I was waiting to see what you
I wanted to do it this weekend.
What?
I'm sorry, honey. But I can only
take care of this business on the weekend.
The man is in Brussels
and I have to go see him.
It could mean a sale of
75 tractors. Yes I understand.
Of course.
Oh, I don't know.
I'm going to the cinema, I think. Yes, I know that
There's a bridge game on Saturday.
Who?
No, I'm not calling Jimmy. Per
What are you going to fix for me soon?
Roger, stop trying
solve my weekend.
If you feel bad because
I will, I will try to go back.
Don't be silly, obviously
you have to go. And I'm going to work.
One of my clients asked me
and I said no, but now...
Yes, we will work both.
Honey, when are you coming back? See well,
I will be here. And drive carefully.
Yes, I will, darling.
Goodbye.
Hello.
I'm sorry, darling, I'm
late, but you know how it is.
How much? What it was? Circulate, circulate.
Now. C'mon C'mon.
12,000 francs.
Oh my God! It costs 24 per meter.
Yes.
Today I feel terrible.
How much does this one cost?
This is 14,000.
I'll keep this one.
- All good.
- There's nothing wrong, right?
- No, it's a very beautiful color.
- You have great taste.
It has done wonders
soon.
- Oh thank you.
- Well, I can tell you that too.
I'm planning one
dinner for the 19th.
It's on Friday next week.
- I probably won't be able to...
- I'm sorry, but I've already sent the invitations.
- I'll do what I can.
- And you have to come, naturally.
Thanks. Now look at these
fabrics, Mrs. Van der Besh.
Sorry,
call me Teresa.
I chose this for your room
and this one for your son's.
In fact, I sent
an invitation to your friend.
Roger Desmarest.
It's called that, right?
Honey, Paris is like a village.
Everyone knows about other people's lives.
Do you want some tea?
No, thank you. But I would like
look at these fabrics.
Oh, Paula. I couldn't
look at nothing else today.
I trust you. But
don't spend a lot of money.
- Madam. - Bring us one
tea please, Suzanne.
- Oui, madam.
- I thought of this for your son.
I don't know what you like
Philip. Impossible.
It's not that difficult. Honey, it's impossible.
He's almost a manic depressive.
Love the world, hate the
world. Just like your father.
Do you know he drinks?
His father also drank,
but it was charming...
Ah, there you are, darling.
We were talking about you.
- How lucky. Hello.
- Hello. I gotta go.
- Not without drinking tea.
- Thank you, but I have things to do.
- I'll call on Friday.
- Goodbye dear. Don't forget the 19th.
No. Goodbye.
I accompany her.
- What it was?
- Anything.
- Something wrong?
- No.
No, can I go down with you?
- I didn't expect
see her today. - No.
- What happened to your weekend?
- Roger went on a business trip.
I understand.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
The switch is behind you.
Move away.
Stay away, you're bothering me.
Philip,
please let me go.
Gaby.
- Oui, madam. I'm coming.
Good morning, Madame.
- I love you every day,
- but especially on Sundays.
- I could bring breakfast every day.
Very tempting, Gaby.
No strawberry jam left?
What a shame. Well, I'll buy it tomorrow.
- There's a message for you.
- Where?
He went to the phone. Too early.
He said he didn't want to bother.
- Mr. Roger?
- No, another man.
He didn't leave his name, but he made me
repeat the message a thousand times.
See how?
And what is the message?
I'm sorry about yesterday.
Do you like Brahms?
Did you understand?
Yes.
- Yes I understood.
- But what are Brahms?
Look over there.
The second above.
Yes, that's it. Put it on.
Right. The first button.
That's Brahms.
It's better to get dressed.
Is it necessary?
Yes.
- What time is it?
- Almost 5:30am.
Why don't we stay here
tonight and let's go tomorrow? No.
Why not?
- I have to be in Paris tonight.
- Why?
- It's none of your business.
- I'm not going.
- What?
- I'm not going.
Maisie.
-Maisie.
-No.
- Come on, Maisie.
- I want to stay here.
- Enough, Maisie.
- No.
- Please.
- I want to stay.
He arrives! Maisie!
- Hello.
- Hello.
I'm glad you like Brahms.
I don't know if I really like it.
Anyway, it's here.
I can look, right?
Sorry.
- The dry martini.
- Yes.
How much is everything?
Nine francs.
Thanks. Thanks.
There is no difference. He said
especially extra-dry.
- What it was?
- Anything.
The doorbell is ringing. We should
to go back. The break is over.
Will you have dinner with me after the concert?
I can't. I have to go home.
I didn't say I didn't work in the
weekends? I expect Roger tonight.
- What if he doesn't show up?
- Then, I'll have dinner alone.
Must be a great man
to deserve such devotion.
I love him.
It's him?
- What about him?
- He loves her?
Yes.
Certainly. Everything is better
in the best of all worlds.
Don't be cynical, it doesn't fit
with you. At your age, you...
Stop laughing at me. Stop talking
like I was five years old.
Sorry.
I don't laugh at you, but at the papers
who interprets. If it were you...
It's true.
I've made myself look brilliant
lawyer, shy lover,
of a spoiled child, and he knows what else.
But it was all for you, just for you.
Don't you think this is love?
Let's hurry.
I am really sorry. It's afternoon.
Silence.
Since when...
Since when have you been with Roger?
Five years.
- And have you been happy?
- Yes, I have been.
Ever?
There is no Always .
I had five years of
happiness, of doubts,
of heat and pain...
But all that matters is happiness.
Now he is not happy.
- Yes I am.
- No.
I said I love him.
- And also mother, nanny, car.
- What are you talking about?
She says she loves him, but she's alone.
She's alone on Sundays.
How many times do you
Do you sleep alone?
- You don't have the right...
- Yes I have.
I'm in love and nothing will stop me,
and I will make you leave him if I can.
I will do it,
I will do it.
Sir, please.
What is this?
- Brahms.
- How do you know?
Well, the radio said.
Like that?
Sunday afternoon at
radio is terrible.
- Leave it where it was.
- Well, there's nothing more...
Funny.
At eight years old he dreamed of
be an orchestra conductor.
I dreamed of being a
movie star. And I will be.
Tomorrow I have dinner with
Cherel. But I call you
when you can go, right?
Yes yes.
I wouldn't want you to leave me
tonight. I'll miss you.
Maisie, I can't drive.
Don't be silly, it's a
excellent driver.
In fact, you
It's excellent in everything.
Hello.
What it was? Anything. I'm just happy
to see him. How was the trip?
Good.
- Just arrived?
- Yes.
- Where were you?
- At a concert at Salle Pleyel.
Oh, do you like Brahms?
Why do you ask?
I heard it on the radio while I was returning.
How were you?
Young Van der Besh invited me,
I had nothing to do.
I didn't remember if I liked it
or not by Brahms.
The young man asked me a silly question
and I got no response. I had forgotten.
Lately I don't remember anything except
that I love a man who is never with me.
Paula, what's wrong?
I already said. They made me one
question, but I couldn't answer.
And suddenly the questions
seem important to me.
Do I like Brahms? What is my color
favorite? Do I like roses? I love you?
What happened? What
Did that boy tell you?
What does it matter what he
Said if I love you?
And you know the answer to
that, right? What have you done?
- Listened to Brahms.
- Stop talking about Brahms.
- I can't leave him out.
- Was he talking about me?
Yes, from you and me.
- You know I love you.
- No, I don't know. I don't know anything.
Roger, has time passed for me?
Already?
Paula, what can I say?
- What is most important to me?
- May there be someone who is always there,
someone you can be with
safe, someone to love, someone to trust.
Sometimes I wish I was one of the
girls you pick up in bars.
It won't be this one you trust,
whom you esteem, only the one you love.
They don't mean
nothing for me.
- I know.
- That's the way I am.
- I never tried to hide it.
- No, you were always honest.
And you never cared.
That's what he told me.
- Exactly...
- As long as we are honest...
- We can be self-indulgent.
- Paula, what's wrong?
I wish we fell in love
Again, that's all.
- We were so confident in the future.
- I still am, nothing has changed.
- And can we continue like this?
- Clear.
- Forever?
- Of course, why not?
I love you.
You had a bad weekend.
I'm sorry I left you.
I am fine.
- Where will we have dinner?
- Where would you like?
Whatever. I'll change mine
dress and retouch the face.
I won't be long. Look,
his mask fell.
Nothing else. There it is.
- What do you think of L'Escargot?
- Do you think we can get in?
I think so.
Want a drink?
- Do you want it?
- No, thank you.
Well, tell me. What's Brussels like?
Was the travel good?
Yes a lot.
He doesn't seem enthusiastic.
How about Chez Allard? No, I think
which are not open on Sundays.
L'Escargot is fine.
Roger.
- Yes?
- I'm glad you came today.
- Me too.
- Was there a lot of traffic?
Sunday is always bad. But
the avenue is always fast.
Avenue? There are none
avenue in Brussels.
No, of course not.
Did I say avenue?
They organized the road so
Well, it looks like an avenue.
I was a little late.
- I am happy.
- How about a place with music?
You may be right.
I don't know which one is open.
Let's go for a drive.
All good.
- Is it the door?
- Yes yes. I answer.
- Hello, Gaby.
- Good evening, sir.
- Who is it?
- Gaby.
- I have a letter for you.
- A letter for you.
All good.
How's your English, Gaby?
I haven't seen you in a while.
I am always here.
- Whose is it?
- I don't know.
They brought it in their hands.
Here.
Thanks. If it matters
to read to me, dear?
- It could be personal.
- I don't think so.
Yeah.
It's by young Van der Besh.
It doesn't matter.
We have no secrets
between us, right?
I ask you to forgive me.
I was jealous
and you can only have
jealousy of what one owns.
Well, now get rid of
me for a while.
I'm going to London tomorrow
work on a case. It's very important,
but I don't care,
because I will only think of you.
Please, even if you didn't want to
see me again, remember
that I love her.
Your Philip.
I'm ready.
You haven't told me where you want to go. Any
A place with music is good, right?
All good.
As my doctor friend suggested,
the facts seem simple.
One day, the right one
time and in a certain place,
two ships collided:
one English and one French...
Here are the papers
who ordered from Paris. Oh, right.
- How are you?
- Good.
- He also received a letter.
- Thanks.
I wonder how
explain my friend doctor
in simple terms
Sharp's testimony,
- which stated:
- I'm sorry.
At no point in the 10
minutes before the collision,
I heard no signal
of the British ship.
Complication three complication.
There is also the issue of fog.
Glenville declares that the
fog was rising,
but Olivier claims
categorically that it decreases.
There is also the testimony
from Cape Belnapp...
Belnapp.
...who admitted leaving
the bridge moments before
to search more
sugar for your coffee.
Allow me to remind you, Your Honor,
Sailor Gendrin's statement...
I have to go back to Paris.
important. Here.
I am really sorry.
Airport, please.
But first stop in Dorchester.
It's beautiful. Don't believe it, Lucien?
- Yes my dear.
- Thank you, Myrtle.
- Was it very expensive?
- Not for me, darling.
- Who is he?
- Who? He?
He's in the trucking business.
I think she told me that.
I must say he looks like this.
Thanks.
- It looks quite attractive.
- Do you think so?
Yes, actually, it's a lot.
- Roger, try not to look bored.
- Bored?
How could I get bored with
such a happy and charming group?
At least be nice to Mrs.
Van der Besh. He didn't even talk to her.
Yes, I said it. I said: Good evening,
Thank you for inviting me.
Please. Here she comes.
Paula, everyone loved it
the apartment.
They are very excited.
You must be satisfied, sir.
He should be proud of you, Paula.
I am, ma'am.
You deal with something
related to trucks, right?
How interesting.
You buy trucks at
America and sell them in Europe?
Sometimes it's the opposite.
We are very flexible.
Fascinating. It's a pity that
Philip isn't here.
You look beautiful.
Philip is my son. Will be furious
When I know you came,
but he's in London for something
terribly cool. Did you know?
Philip is crazy about Paula.
- It's moving.
- Yes I know.
- Dinner is served, ma'am.
- The dinner. Okay, Suzanne.
Marie-H l ne, Claude.
Dinner is served.
Raymond, will you sit
next to Mrs. Fleury.
Alain, my dear, you
stays with Mrs. Tessier.
Paula, talk about modern painting.
It has a fabulous collection.
And you to mine
side, Mr. Desmarest.
Tell me all about trucks
and what you do with them.
- You're from Leo, right?
- I'm sorry?
Must have been born in the end
July or early August.
No, at the beginning of May.
Oh, Taurus, Taurus.
I should have imagined.
- The menu, ma'am.
- Thanks.
This is the hardest thing, getting
for people to find their place.
Franoise, here.
Marie-H l ne, there.
Claude...
- Mr. Philip!
- Good evening, Micheline.
And Paula, darling, you stay here.
Oh, no, sorry. On the other side, there.
Alain is on his right and Raymond is on his left.
Lucien next to Fran oise on the right...
Sorry, but I must be frank.
It seems absurd to me.
They are called
abstract expressionists
but what do they express?
I wonder.
Well, right?
We were talking about Jean Dupr .
Clear. Do you already know about your last affair?
I'm afraid I don't even know who
It's the gentleman. Don't you know Jean?
No, I'm sorry. And I don't know why I
I should care about your latest affair.
- Unless...
- Unless what?
That this lady
was my wife.
And luckily I'm not married. This is
A very radical attitude, don't you think?
If everyone were like you
What would we talk about?
Philip.
Goodnight.
I hope it doesn't bother you. But if not
We waited until Saturday.
- I wanted to surprise you.
- Philip, what happened?
- Is the case solved?
- Oh, no. But it's going well.
Honey, have you eaten yet?
Yes, I took something on the plane.
But I'll keep you company.
No, Marcelle, the
Mr. Philip has already had dinner.
- Hello.
- Hello.
...that looks good. O
hard work suits him well.
I received your message. As soon as
I arrived, I came immediately.
- Any fruit?
- No, thank you.
I never thought that
I would hate London so much.
You're in luck, mom wants to talk
with you. And do you want to talk to Paula?
Exactly.
Wait a minute.
- There's something I want to ask.
- What?
I...
I wonder if
she would have a cigar.
Clear.
- What did you say to Philip?
- I asked him for a cigar. Why?
- He seemed irritated.
- I wasn't.
- Should be?
- I don't know.
Here it is.
Oh! Thank you.
- Do you like cigars?
- Unfortunately, no.
- I'll bring you something to
to drink? - No, thank you.
I think we should go.
I have to wake up early.
Well, if Paula isn't tired
I can take her home later.
I think so.
Would you like that, dear?
No, it's getting
afternoon. Goodnight.
Goodnight.
You lit up the party.
I was bored until
when the boy arrived.
Now they will have something to talk about.
You already know about the decorator
from Mrs. Van der Besh?
She decorated the apartment and seduced
her son without any additional.
I think it's a good opportunity.
If you are going to make your young man's room
Boss, why don't you take care of him too?
Make the work
much more interesting.
- Are you going to travel tomorrow?
- Yes.
To where?
I already said: Switzerland,
Denmark, Germany.
How much time?
About ten days.
Roger, I...
Goodnight.
Philip?!
How did it arrive so quickly?
He acted like a madman.
Come up, please.
Why do you do these stupid things?
Please. Just a moment.
- Why did you come back from
London? - To see her.
Why?
For your letter.
But it's ridiculous... What did it say?
Come back quickly.
Oh, no.
My sweet Philip, his letter was
very sad and bigger than they deserve.
I am feeling homesick.
Come back quickly.
I didn't mean that.
I felt tired and unhappy.
And alone.
I am really sorry. I shouldn't have written.
But did you feel?
I think so. In that time.
Has anything changed since then?
No,
nothing changed.
So...
Here it is. SAS 252.
You can now board.
- This way, gentlemen, please.
- Did you telegraph to Copenhagen?
- Yes, they will send a car.
- Roger!
Paula!
- Go ahead, I'm coming.
- We don't have much time.
Don't worry.
Paula, what are you doing here?
I called you at home but I already had
gone. I wanted to see him.
Come here.
I'm sorry about last night.
I was jealous. Oh, I called you, but...
- Roger, will you take me with you?
- What?
- I want to go with you. Can I?
- Paula, the plane leaves in two minutes.
I go home, pack a suitcase, and
next to you tonight. Where will you be?
Honey, I'm going with two men
from Chicago. How will I explain?
Tell them I'm your wife. The americans
travel with their wives. You will understand.
Paula, this is crazy.
Is it for this boy?
It's for me. Please.
- Roger!
- Yes, I'm coming.
Don't worry, I'll be back
fast. It's only ten days.
Get rid of this boy,
Paula. He worries you.
And don't worry. All
It'll be fine, you'll see.
Paula, you know I love you. I call
for you when you get back. Goodbye dear.
Attention please!
Mr. Demoray...
Goodbye.
...a passenger on flight 252...
... they ask you to pass urgently
through customs passport control.
Thanks.
I have been practicing the law for
40 years, and in my life
I've never heard of anyone who
left halfway through a trial.
I'll tell you something.
If it weren't for your mother,
I would ask you to go
although once...
Al ? Yes.
Who wants?
I am afraid that Mr Van der Besh
be busy. One moment please.
Ah, here he is. Wait a minute.
This time he didn't get away with it. What did you say?
- I don't know. I didn't listen. Who is it?
- A personal call.
- A woman's voice, and it's not your mother.
- Al ?
Yes, Paula.
Yes, of course we can talk.
Tonight we could...
- Philip, I'm afraid I can't.
- What do you mean?
I can't see you again,
Philip. Try to understand, it will hurt you.
Don't try to see me, please.
Do you promise? Phillip?
Philip, promise me, please.
Yes.
Yes of course.
Philip, come on, I'm done.
Let's go. It will take days like this.
You were ready to make sacrifices
for love. I know I said it,
and I'm sorry.
That was a long time ago.
Well, I'm in love.
- But she doesn't believe me.
- I believe in you.
I've said it thousands of times.
Let's go now
Philip, are you coming?
Well, I'll be right there.
- Will you be okay?
- Yes.
We'll talk tomorrow. See you later.
Hello.
She's gone and left you, right?
Talk about love as if
knew a lot about him.
Yeah, I know.
Invite me for a drink?
Clear.
- Two whiskeys.
- Yes sir.
- Well, talk.
- What?
Of love.
It's hard to explain... It's nothing.
It's just a word in a song.
In millions of songs.
You said it yourself.
It is the most used word in
world and means nothing.
Just one word in a song.
Right,
for old love.
For old love.
Are you going to sing another one?
Good...
Love is nothing more than
one word,
it doesn't mean anything.
it's a way
extravagant to say
that two people
want to be happy.
Love is no longer
than a word.
And when the fun begins,
a word we use to
cover a mountain of sins.
Love is nothing more than
one word
that fell on the city...
- How long have you been here?
- I don't know.
- It must be soaked.
- I had to see her.
- I tried...
- All good.
Since we talked, I don't know
where I went or what I did.
- And you?
- I? Working.
I went to a collection,
I bought clothes.
They are opening a street
in front of my house.
Yes I know. My car
it almost stays there.
It will be repaired within
of a few days.
Paula, are you sure you don't want to
anything? There's a great-looking chicken.
How hungry I feel!
Where is the butter?
Butter, butter.
What do you think, since I'm
in love, don't I need to?
Is there any wine?
No, nothing. Great,
I found a beer.
It's here, it's here.
Honey, can you flip the record?
It doesn't matter, I'll do it myself.
Well, here I am. What
such? Nice look, huh?
I feel like I don't have
eaten over several days.
Hello, my love.
Gaby. Hang on. I forgot that
I locked myself in last night.
Good morning. Okay, now me
surprised. Give it to me.
- Do you want...?
- Paula. Can you help me...?
Good morning. Can you help me with this?
Gaby, this is Philip...
- Mr. Van der Besh.
- Good day sir.
Don't worry about coffee
in the morning, I do it myself.
Thank you, Gabby.
Gaby. I'll call her if necessary.
- I was embarrassed.
- Embarrassed, no: surprised.
Gaby is my defender and protector.
She's older and wiser than me.
- Check the time. I'll be late.
- I can take you to the store.
I don't want you to take me.
You can pass the butter.
- Why not?
- It's not necessary.
I can leave it on the corner if not
want them to see us. Why?
I don't know, I thought... I don't know
worry, you'll know quickly.
and you will have a lot of fun. You already know
of Paula and her youngest son?
What vitality does this have?
appetite for young people.
Do you mind?
- Not really.
- Then nothing happens.
- What time will you leave?
- About six hours.
At 6am? And what do I do until 6am?
How do you know I won't be busy?
It's true, I don't know.
Let me do this.
- Tonight I will be free.
- Right.
- But what will I do until 6am?
- I don't know, work.
To work? Oh, I know.
I will wander through Paris thinking of you,
and then I will eat thinking of you.
So I'll wait until 6am...
- How much?
- 4.50 Cents.
Hey sir! Sir!
- You can go, I'll catch up with you later.
- Why? Where are you going?
Use a telephone. Tell the doorman
find a taxi.
What's your number?
Don't worry, I'll be right there.
- Al ?
- Paula?
Al . I just arrived.
I'm at the airport.
How are you? Had a good trip?
I want to see you. We can
dinner tonight?
No. Dinner, no.
- Well, how about lunch?
- Yes, lunch, yes.
Where would you like it? Whatever.
A place where you don't see many people.
- Pre Catalo?
- Okay, see you there.
- Don't you want me to pick you up?
- No, see you there.
Right. Pre Catalo,
1h.
Paula,
I...
I can't wait to see her.
Goodbye, Roger.
- Sorry I'm late.
- No, I just arrived.
- Don't you feel well?
- Why?
Well, it's not one to drink during the day.
No, I felt a little tired.
So, I think I'll take
a vermouth. A Noilly?
- Yes.
- Right.
- It seems like we haven't seen each other for a long time.
- Ten days.
It seems more.
I called a few times
Germany, but I didn't find it.
I go out a lot. No
I should have come back yet.
- Before you didn't do that.
- Please, ma'am.
Here it is.
Thanks.
Did you see Jimmy?
No.
And what he does?
I saw a lot of Philip.
Ah, the young man.
To be continued
crazy about you?
Do you still find him funny?
Yes.
Grace or more than that?
More.
Well, there's nothing to say, right?
He could say many things.
Roger, if I said that
everything still depends on you,
- I wouldn't know what to say, would I?
- I don't know.
But, I yes.
I would say you are very obsessed with
his freedom, scared of losing it.
I said I don't know. I only know that I hate
the idea that you and this boy...
- The same, please.
- Yes sir.
I hope it's worth it.
It's not about that. He loves me.
When I invited you to lunch,
I didn't imagine I would have to hear
about her romance with this boy.
You always made me
know about yours with your girls.
At least that's normal.
Or better...
I say....
Goodbye, Roger.
Here it is, your Martini.
Thanks.
Paula.
I'm sorry, it was stupid.
You know I didn't mean it.
No, it was my fault too.
Maybe we shouldn't
see us for a while.
- Goodbye honey.
- Paula, you know that I...
You mean a lot
for me, Paula.
It's serious.
29. Black, odd, inside.
Love.
Thanks.
17 chips. The last 4,
the first 3. All 5.
- What is the fourth number?
- What?
- Our room number.
- I don't know.
You have the key.
- The rest in 4 and 25.
- Yes ma'am.
- A brandy, please.
- Roger.
- Hi, Jimmy.
- What are you doing in Deauville?
- I decided to leave for a while, you know.
- Is Paula here? Where are you staying?
No, Paula is not here.
I haven't seen her for two months. I am really sorry,
I didn't know. Well, it's a...
What I mean to say...
See you later, Roger.
Close the window, my love.
My love, close the window, it's cold.
- Stop calling me love.
- What time is it?
God. Don't you understand
What is it 5 am?
Why are you standing, my love?
He's not rested yet.
- Stop calling me love.
- Then don't call me Maisie.
- Stop using that word.
- What it was?
Love love. Do you know
what does that mean?
Do you know?
What is love? We came here to
discuss my vocabulary?
Stop calling me love. He is
good at night, but not in the morning.
Ah, now we get picky.
Could you close the window?
- Mr. Desmarest, your car is here.
- Thanks,
- Here's the bill and the change.
- Thanks.
- Thank you, sir. Reception.
- Yes, madam.
- Mr. Desmarest?
- No, I didn't see him.
- Thanks.
- Thanks. And your luggage?
- The young lady will take care of her.
- Right, sir.
I hope so.
Philip!
Philip.
Philip!
- Hello.
- I want to talk to you.
You can't continue, you have to work.
Since when have you not been to the office?
- Since Tuesday.
- And before that?
Say goodbye in the morning and wait
come home at night.
And now she likes it
in secret drinking.
It doesn't stay that way. I just washed the bottle
because I know you hate mess.
Yes, I hate clutter.
And the lies and the weakness,
and soon I will hate you.
It had to come to that, right?
Philip, I didn't mean
say that. But...
I can't allow it to change
in a stupid drunk for me.
I already told you to go to work
thousand times. And this is the last one.
- And if I don't go, what? -
I won't be able to see him again.
Could you leave me like this,
just for that?
Yes.
Oh, Philip.
Philip, that's enough, you're acting.
Look at me. Look at me.
What's wrong?
You just don't love me.
And I can't do
nothing about it.
From the beginning I knew
that one day he would leave me,
but I always kept waiting
that this would never happen.
And all the whiskey I
I drank all the whiskey in the world
couldn't change anything
because it had already happened.
That's it.
No, Philip,
You are a fool. A boy...
or a madman.
Play the rejected lover and do it
so well that he even believes in himself.
I care. And you know, Philip.
Come on, look at me. Look at me.
Don't you want me to come?
No, not today. But
I want you to work.
I will work. I promise.
I was so scared.
You are a fool.
- What it was?
- I wanted to know if you were here. I am really sorry.
Al ?
Who would like, please?
Oh yes. One moment please.
Mrs. Tessier.
- Yes?
- Mr. Desmarest.
- Roger, Hi.
- Paula?
Paula.
- How are you?
- Well. And you?.
I am fine
Next week I will be on vacation.
This time of year, you know...
Remember that always
were we traveling for two weeks?
So I thought I'd call you and...
How am I buying my ticket
Maybe you'd like me to get one for you.
- I don't think it's possible, Roger.
- No?
No.
It's not that easy.
How could we go and pretend nothing...?
We couldn't stop thinking...
No, that's why I'm going, to
don't think. To not think about anything.
- That's not a good reason to go.
- It's the best.
No, it's not that easy.
And I assure you that I do not
you need me for that. Paula.
I'm sure it will be fine
alone or with one of your...
- With any other.
- What?
Anything.
They don't mean anything to me.
As long as I'm here waiting for you.
So you don't want to go?
No, Roger. Goodbye.
Paula...
Take care, will you?
Yes, I will take care of myself.
Don't rush me. See?
It's not bad at all.
- Excuse me. Dinner is served.
- Finally. It's already getting cold, right?
A little. Oh, waiter,
Would you mind going up to 16...?
- What do you want, dear?
- The yellow jacket on the bed.
- Yes ma'am.
- Okay, let's go.
- Hang on.
- Did you cheat?
No. I knew I would win. No
Did you cheat by pushing with your foot?
Of course not.
She should be ashamed.
It's wonderful to escape Paris.
You look different, you transform.
Thanks. And if we stay another night
and return in the morning?
- Of course, why not?
- Philip.
- Good night Good Night.
- Philip.
Do you already know Mrs.
Tessier, right?
Mrs. Fleury, Mr. Fleury,
and these are Madeleine and Pierre.
Goodnight.
Did you come from Paris for dinner? It's a place
wonderful, isn't it? How's the traffic?
We got a traffic jam
yesterday in St. Cloud.
- Here it is.
- Is this it, madam?
Yes, thank you. Sit down, children,
the food is getting cold.
Lucien!
Your key, sir.
It was a pleasure to see you again.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
- Shall we have another drink to warm up?
- How old is she?
Lucien, ask for the bill, everything
It takes forever here.
- Over here, the table is ready.
- Go ahead, I'll be right there.
Two dry.
Boys!
Here it is.
Thanks.
- Where are you, madam?
- She's gone.
But dinner is ready.
- I want to go back to Paris.
- Right.
Paula, what do you care?
what do people think?
Anything.
- How do things change?
- Let's not talk about it.
- No. Let's talk and you'll listen to me.
- No, please.
This is unworthy of you
and humiliating for me.
- You're exaggerating.
- No, you're exaggerating.
I'm not an idiot nor a boy
for anyone who has to hide anything.
If you wanted, we would get married tomorrow.
Don't be silly. I'm much older than...
Age is not a problem. I love you, I need
of you and it doesn't matter what people say.
The only problem for
You, for us, are Roger.
It's still there, isn't it? Inside of
you. And you can't remove it.
What did you do even when someone
Did you have a devil inside you?
Prayers, bells, lots of noise? If I
If you did all this, would you take Roger away from you?
Perhaps.
I am really sorry. Never
I imagined you...
I never imagined that you
could think about it.
- Do you think we should continue?
- It depends on you, the price remains low.
Who is this man who continues
launching against us? It's another antique shop.
It will stop soon, I know it.
I hope so, because I...
Okay, they're ours.
And for a good price.
- Here you go, Mrs. Tessier.
- Thanks. I'll come and get it tomorrow.
They're a bargain, aren't they? I think that
They will look great in the library.
Come to think of it, I could
put them in Philip's room.
Surely, how is he?
Don't you see it?
Comes from time to time
to pick up the clothes.
- I didn't know.
- Honey, that's totally normal.
I always wished Philip would
fall in love with an older woman.
Do you want me to pay you one
commission for the chairs?
We have taken his time,
It will have to be paid, right?
- Oh, please.
- Well, if you insist...
Would you mind if I
asked something about Philip?
Yes, I care.
His car is here, madam.
Thank you.
Can I take her,
Paula? I'm going to Dior.
No, thank you, I prefer to walk.
- He is sure?
- Yes, thank you. Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Either way, you learned something from
French laws while she was here.
But you will work in New York,
where you will live.
I had a long conversation with
your mother and we agree that,
In the current circumstances,
It would be good for your career
return to New York.
It's very kind, but
I'm not leaving here.
I'm afraid you haven't
choice. Yes I have.
Well, you'll have to talk
with your mother about it. Alice.
Mr. Fleury, if they find out
who has a lover,
and I'm sure you have, to
where will you send it? Goodbye, sir.
Bye Bye. Goodbye everyone.
Over here, please,
that table. Oh no,
not that one. Not tonight.
- I'm afraid everything is booked.
- And how about this?
- Sorry but...
- No buts. What is your name?
Franois.
Franois, you don't know me, but this is a
important night for us. We're left with this one.
- After you, ma'am.
- You crazy.
- Did you send for me?
- Yes, we want flowers, please.
You are crazy!
I want you to find the most
beautiful for you lady. But, sir...
- Here.
- Thank you, sir, I'll try.
- He's completely crazy.
- Absolutely.
- What is all this for?
- We're celebrating.
What?
My independence from the world
and my dependence on you.
- Franois!
- Yes sir?
To start, serve us the most delicious dish.
luxury of your restaurant's history.
Want to start with
foie gras pat ? No!
- No. Caviar?
- Caviar.
- Caviar. With blinis?
- Yes.
Will you grant me the pleasure of this dance?
- Sir?
- Vodka. The best year.
- Right, sir. And what wine do you want?
- No, no, no wine. Champagne.
- Right, sir.
Can you tell me what
does all this mean?
I left my job. Or
Better yet, I exchanged it for Paris.
- Did you leave your job?
- Yes.
- Why? - Iam
send me to New York.
- But Philip...
- No buts. Let's make a deal, shall we?
No, Philip. You can't do
that. I won't allow it.
It's done.
- I saw her in Balenciaga...
- Goodnight.
Goodnight.
I saw her in Balenciaga
with a Balmain dress,
and the next day in Lauvin with a
Givenchy. Aren't you curious? Waiter.
Today I was having lunch with
Guy Laroche and wore Chanel.
Rogers...
- Roger, what are you thinking?
- How stupid the world is.
What?
Anything.
Come,
Maisie, let's dance.
I must confess something.
I almost did something terrible.
What?
There is a precious abyss between your
neck and his shoulder that I almost bit.
- Can I?
- Why, Philip!
Well, think again and tell me.
- It's too far away tonight.
- Oh, huh?
- Shall we go to Elephant Blanc?
- I'm fine here.
- Let's go? I believe it's dinner.
- Right.
Here's the caviar, gentlemen.
Sirs.
Blinis, ma'am? Sir, blinis?
Thanks.
Let's go somewhere else?
If you want...
Excuse me.
Whatever.
Good,
where do we go now?
I don't know.
- Good evening, Philip.
- Paula.
I can see you...
tomorrow?
Yes of course.
- I can help with something?
- Good morning.
Oh, Mr. Desmarest. There is
I hadn't seen him for a long time.
- Yes. Is Paula?
-Oh, yes, she is...
I was here a minute ago.
Mrs. Tessier!
Mrs. Tessier!
Yes, Mr. Steiner? Ah, Roger, hello.
Hi Paula.
Paula, I...
- Can we go somewhere?
- Yes of course.
Paula, I planned a whole
speech, but now...
Help me.
Last night I wanted
cross the room and say:
Enough, let's go home.
Then go walking
and walking...
This cannot continue like this.
I...
I can't live without
you. There, i said it.
Well, it was so
terrible to say?
It was all my fault.
I shouldn't have allowed you to see him.
Should have stopped it from the beginning.
Honey, don't you
It's very bright.
- No?
- No, but that doesn't matter.
I'm at home.
Or whatever it is.
Here. Sugar?
Philip.
Philip, try to understand.
We met at a time when
that they both needed each other.
And we were very lucky.
But this is not enough to maintain two
people together. It couldn't last.
I selfishly wished
that it would last, but it couldn't be.
All I had to do
was to say please .
Well I guess I should feel
proud in a sense.
If it weren't for me, you would probably
we would have gotten married. You knew?
I'm a kind of... Cupid.
Yes, that's what I am, a Cupid.
- Philip, you shouldn't...
- But it's true. I was a kind...
interval.
Curse.
Damn him,
and you, and all of us.
- Why couldn't you love me?
- You said it yourself, Philip,
by the devil inside me
and I can't exorcise it.
Philip.
Philip, I...
I will never forget him.
Clear.
Me neither.
Oh, Paula. What am I going to do?
What will become of me?
Philip, darling.
Return to New York. There you
You have friends, your life is there.
Of course, you're right, of course.
I will find the right girl, I will
get married and we will live happily ever after.
Where are my slippers?
Where is the other one?
Thanks.
Good,
I will come back to...
see her someday?
If you want, yes.
But I don't think we should.
No, we shouldn't.
What the hell am I doing?
Do you want to leave my things
at the reception, please?
Yes, I'll take them all.
Philip!
Philip!
Oh, Philip, try to understand!
I am too old!
Very old! Very old!
You can come in,
ladies and gentlemen.
Well, it wasn't that terrible.
Say it as if
had gone to the dentist.
Gaby!
- Gaby!
- Yes ma'am?
- I thought it would never arrive.
- Are you at home?
- No, madam.
- Do you want to draw me a bath?
What should I wear
tonight? Let's see...
- The black one with lace?
- No, it's too elegant for a cafe.
- This one?
- No, it's too much... And this one next door?
- This one?
- Yes, this one is good.
What a day!
The problem with decorators is that everyone
They think they know their job.
Nobody tells a plumber
how to fix a sink, but...
Gaby, the zipper!
No, it's okay, don't worry.
But start doing
a curtain and all...
Gaby, did you call?
No, madam.
Not too hot. Tomorrow we will have dinner at home.
Let's make you a good steak...
No, we ate this on Monday.
So, lamb chops.
I'll take care of this, Gaby.
Al ?
Ah, Roger, where are you?
Yes, if there is no choice...
Yes I understand.
What?
I will probably eat
something and go to bed.
All good.
Goodbye.
- Thank you Madam.
- Good evening, Mrs. Tessier.
- Hello. Is Gaby at my house?
Yes yes. She can go up.
Gaby!
- Gaby, I'm late. Did you call?
- No, madam.
It was not possible to catch a taxi.
Is the dress ready?
- Oui, madam.
- Be good and draw me a bath.
Not too hot.
Oh, my zipper!
Never go to... No, that's fine.
Oh, Gabby. Where did you put mine...?
No, forget it, I already found it.
Tonight I will take the jacket.
- Did you sew the dress belt?
- Oui, madam.
I didn't listen, madam. Yes ma'am. You
You have to learn my language.
Oui...
Yes, ma'am.
Serve you. Say no
I am, I just left.
Al ?
- Yes, sir. Oui, monsieur.
- Okay, I'll answer!
- One moment please.
- Take care of the water, Gaby.
Roger, darling...
I'm sorry, but I'm going to be late.
Paris traffic this
moment is really...
What?
Can't you? Oh no,
Roger, not again.
I know it's work, but...
is that tonight
It's very special.
It's our fifth anniversary.
From what? From the night when
We found.
No, no, I understand.
Yes, tomorrow is great.
Goodnight darling.
Goodnight.
Men do a lot of good
work meetings.
Yes, very good.
If I were you
gave him an ultimatum.
What kind of ultimatum?
Are we married? Because otherwise...
I already told you that we don't want
to marry. He doesn't want to.
We've both been married, you
he knows. And we learned the same thing.
People should be together
because they want to, not because they have to.
- Freedom is something precious.
- For him, not for you.
- Gaby!
- He goes out with other girls.
- Yes.
- You don't go out with other men.
I don't want to.
What freedom.
You care too much about me.
Mom says when
if you're young it doesn't matter,
but when
grows old, must get married.
- Gaby... So I'm old now?
- No!...
But it's very lonely.
I'm sorry about last night.
- It was a terrible week.
- Yes, I know, Roger.
- I have an agreement in Ghana.
I keep trying to close in
Denmark but the Dutch failed.
And there are no transfers from America
for the strike. This is not fun at all.
No.
I should leave everything and live in the country
in a cabin by the river?
You wouldn't know what
do with yourself.
Couldn't live without your
trucks, nor their tractors
or your life in the city with
your nights in Paris...
But lately it's been
driving too fast.
I know. This is a sign of what?
Am I trying to look young?
You will never be old.
I adore you. You understand everything I say,
answers all my questions.
- Yes, I am remarkable.
- You are.
How many times have
will I have done this?
Turn on the radio while you take me
home after dinner.
Paula.
I'm being very
selfish with you?
No, Roger.
It's just that sometimes I feel alone.
I'm not that young
I miss you. But I know how much
means your work to you.
- And do you know how much you mean to me?
- I think so.
Oh, I forgot. Today
I had lunch with Jacques Bunnell.
He has a friend who needs a
decorator for the new apartment.
The name and address.
He must go and see her tomorrow.
- Thanks.
- It looks like there's money there.
He would come to me at a good time.
Well, good night.
I'll let you sleep.
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
- Listen, I...
- What there was?
We were looking for you.
You like small things,
Do you like nonsense?
Because if you like it, so do I.
Good morning, Suzanne!
Good morning, Mr. Philip.
Do you like walking?
So I like...
to go for a walk.
Good morning.
- Good morning.
- I'm Philip Van der Besh.
- Did you come to see my mother?
- Yes.
- Don't you want to sit down?
- I hope it's not too early.
Oh, no. It's already up.
Is it through the apartment?
Yes.
It will do you good
small tidying.
Well, I wonder where
They sit when there are more than three.
I don't know. I work all day, and when
When I arrive I go straight to bed.
- You must work a lot.
- Yes, indeed. I'm a lawyer.
I never go to bed before midnight.
And I get up before dawn.
Now it's almost 11am.
Yes well...
Well, it's very rare...
My most important client
He was guillotined today.
Guillotined! My
God! Is he dead?
No, the truth is that I don't work
very. Cigarette? Yes, thank you.
Where is...?
Thanks.
- Is it still raining?
- No.
It's not raining anymore.
Well, there's not much to say, right?
I don't know her. If I knew, I would say
I was delighted to see it again.
- Why?
- I don't know. Just because.
- Suzanne, is Mr. Philip gone?
- Quickly, Mommy. When were you born?
- Philip.
- Yes, mom.
Oh, there it is. She should leave the house first
11am from time to time.
Yes, mom, I'm going. I don't understand
how Mr. Fleury supports it.
Oh, it's easy, you're his richest client.
Goodbye. I hope to see you again.
Good luck.
Excuse me, did you want to see me?
Mr. Bunnell asked me to come
see her this morning. Jacques Bunnell.
- He said he spoke to you...
- Oh yes. You are the decorator.
He spoke very highly of you.
Before anything else, there is
something I want to make clear.
If there's anything I can't stand, it's
people who try to take advantage...
Suzanne!
Suzanne!
You have to call thousands of
times. Don't get me wrong.
I want the apartment to look good,
but there are many ways to do it.
- There was a young man...
- Madam?
- What?
- Did you call me, madam?
What? Ah yes yes.
Suzanne, I already told you not to
leave the windows open.
- Don't leave the windows open?
- Oui, madam
- Well, remember.
- Oui, madam.
You won't remember. They say that the
servants are cheaper here.
But they make me nervous.
What was I saying?
That there was a young man...
A youngster? Ah yes, the decorator.
Well, it didn't last long.
I met Robbers in my time...
Sit down, darling.
But he was a shameless thief.
- When were you born?
- I'm sorry?
When were you born?
Oh, you don't need to say the year.
I would never ask that.
- The month.
- In June.
- What day in June?
- 13.
Oh, twins. How interesting.
I suppose you don't remember
so cool. No, no, I'm afraid not...
Oh, what a shame.
Well, we take care of the floor
lower in Louis XV style?
It will cost a little more. If you want
maintain the furniture you own.
Certainly. Come,
I'll show you the house.
These things have already filled the space.
It's time for them to pay their way.
My son studies law
International and we travel a lot.
But now let's spend some time
in Paris. Do you know Philip?
You have to know him.
It's a charm. Yes...
And he's a brilliant boy, but not
I understand what's going through your head.
- This is the dining room.
- Yes.
- I'm sorry about your arm.
- Arm? What arm?
What makes it so...
Yes? I hadn't noticed.
I'll have to look into that.
As for the living room
to have lunch. I believe that here...
- Taxi! -
Can I take it?
Haven't you been here all this time?
No. She had things to do.
But she passed by here.
I'm going to the Boulevard
Haussmann. Great.
- He is sure?
- Yes.
It's an art to get in here.
- All good?
- It's nothing. It happens.
Am I too fast?
No, I'm used to it. I have a friend who
drive like that. He says it helps him stay young.
- Does he want to be young?
- Yes.
I don't. I think he was born under the sign
Suitable for apartment decoration.
- I hope so.
- Do you believe in the stars?
No. Your mother seems
be governed by them.
This is convenient. If the stars rule you,
You don't need to take responsibility.
Do they seem strange to you?
Yes, in a sense.
But I'm not that much. I'm acting.
It seems like a family thing.
How's your arm?
Good.
Make mom pay in advance. She is rich
and stingy, she doesn't like paying bills.
I shouldn't talk
like your mother.
I say what I want, I'm not
child. How old is?
And you?
What's the fun?
- The whistle of admiration.
- It's more admiration than you think.
Thanks.
- Do you want to have lunch with me one day?
- No.
So, without further ado? No?
So, without further ado.
Sorry. I didn't mean to be rude. But
I have a lot of work to go out for lunch.
- And now with your mother's house...
- I understand.
- Here, on the right, please.
- Right.
- Well, thank you very much.
- It was nothing.
Well, goodbye.
- Good morning.
- Good morning, Mr. Van der Besh.
- Good morning, Mr. Philip.
- Good morning, Helene.
- Good morning, Alice.
- Good morning.
He called three times.
- Why?
- How will I know?
It must be the Guillaut report.
- I gave it yesterday.
- So that's why.
- What...? What it was? Are you injured?
- No, I'm fine.
Well well. Let me go. No.
You and your jokes.
This is serious!
Alice. I met someone this morning.
I know... The girl
most beautiful in the world.
No, a woman.
Warm, charming, happy...
And yet sad. There was one
deep sadness in his eyes.
Why?
- I don't know.
- Your husband?
- What a husband?
- Aren't you married?
- How will I know?
- Don't you think you should find out?
- But what difference does it make?
-Ah, sorry.
If so, it should not be
a good marriage. Not happy.
No, she could only
be happy with you. Exactly.
- Yes?
- Mr Van der Besh.
Ah, good morning, sir. No, they are...
six... six tens. Thanks.
- Pardon me. - I expect
let you know what time it is.
Yes yes. Oh God. I am really sorry.
I entertained myself at home.
In the morning, my mother
I wasn't well.
I just called her 5 minutes ago,
and seemed to be in perfect health.
Yes, well... it's much better already.
Thanks. Thanks for asking.
I read the Guillaut report.
There is no need to talk about the
consideration I feel for your family.
And you know I accepted it
right in my office.
Yes.
But he doesn't seem to have ambition. No
shows a desire to work. Why?
This is not a report.
Does not make any citations,
nor does it present any
law that supports the case.
What do you think you were doing?
- I don't know.
- Don't you mind?
- Yes.
- And then?
I don't know what I'm doing.
Studying French legislation, I hope.
No. I mean what I'm doing,
to prove that I'm alive.
Are you trying to be funny?
No.
I want to know... how you live.
For example, I just realized
that I never fell in love.
Well, I have. Redo
this report.
What is your name?
I don't know.
- Two whiskeys, please.
- Yes, Claude.
You look beautiful tonight.
He always tells me that when I put it on
this dress. It's not the dress.
- How are you, Roger?
- Well thanks.
- How did you find out about this place?
- I don't know.
I come here with people
of business. Hello.
- Goodnight.
- He seems to know everyone.
No, it was just one of those
nights. That's all. Goodnight.
- They look very young, don't they?
- Young people? I don't think so.
What do you say about him?
No, but try to be.
Waiter. I'm afraid I have to leave
earlier tonight.
Didn't I tell you?
I got the job.
Yes. That card you
gave me, by Jacques Bunnell.
- Oh, did you go?
- This morning. His name is Van der Besh.
She is a rich woman who travels
the world, but they give you the feeling of...
Hello.
Hello. How curious.
He is her son.
- Mr Van der Besh, Mr Desmarest.
- Goodnight.
- I knew I would find her.
- Were you looking for me?
- Yes.
- Great.
I looked everywhere
and it was here the whole time.
Not everywhere.
We went to dinner in Berkeley.
I started to wonder if
Was it real or just a dream.
Waiter, waiter. Two
Whiskeys, please.
This place is
becoming very popular.
Are you married?
I hoped it wouldn't be.
Check it out!
Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I think
who said something he shouldn't have.
Hey!
Would you like a coffee?
No, I hate coffee.
I'll take one of these...
to lighten up the monotony.
It won't change much. I'll be right back.
This is a real man.
Strong, confident, self-assured.
Nothing is that simple.
Do you love him?
That's none of your business.
Oh, sorry.
Funny, I didn't do anything else in
all day besides apologizing.
Claude, Claude, three whiskeys,
please. Yes, Mr. Desmarest.
Hello.
Why, hello.
What a small world.
Full of delicious surprises.
- I'm afraid I don't remember where...
- Honey, do you have my lighter?
Oh, darling,
remember...? Mr. Cherel, Mr....
-Desmarest. Roger Desmarest.
- Oh yeah.
- Goodnight.
- Here you go, Mr. Desmarest.
Thank you, Claude.
I'm glad I saw you.
- See you later.
- Goodnight.
I realized I don't know your name.
Well, here we are.
Sir,
sorry if I said something...
We all drink too much
at any moment. Do you want to dance, dear?
I would love. Excuse me.
Do you mind?
Thanks.
- We'll be back, don't worry.
- Let's go to Regina's. Want to come?
Come, Philip.
- A strange boy.
- It's not strange.
Just very young and a little drunk.
I looked for her all over Paris and began to
ask myself if it was real or just a dream.
Congratulations, Paula.
It's just a boy
and terribly insecure.
Insecure? A young man looking for you
all over Paris, take your hand
and asks if she is married?
It's not my idea of insecurity.
Well, it's been a long time since anyone
he goes all over Paris looking for me.
- And you like it, don't you?
- Of course.
Oh, he's gone.
Great, now I can
finish my drink.
Excuse me.
Pardon me.
Excuse me.
Roger, I have to go. Otherwise,
Tomorrow it will look like I'm 100 years old.
Come on, I was starting to like this.
Paula, he's going to break the window.
- Honey, please take him.
- Right. Come come.
- I am fine. No, no, I'm fine.
- Yes, whatever you say.
- I am fine.
- Look for the key.
- I have my key.
- Where is it?
- I won't tell you.
- Oh, please.
Do you know that your little Van der
Besh starts to bore me? Yes.
- Who is this?
- Here it is.
- My keys.
- Can you alone?
Of course.
Goodnight.
One moment!
Goodnight.
- All good.
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
- In other words, good night.
Roger!
- I'm sorry it was bad.
- No, it was very funny.
- Well, good night, dear.
- Can I come up for a drink?
One moment.
No, this is to cover a
chair for Margo Glenville.
Margo Glenville can go to...
I want it and I will have it. Then it's decided.
I have to go. Will it be my package?
Here. But it won't be okay with your ardor.
Nothing will last.
- Am I coming tomorrow?
- Yes, some dresses will arrive.
I came around 6am.
Bye my Love.
Hello.
- I came to apologize.
- No need.
And please be thankful
to your husband.
How's your head? I will survive.
I'm not sure I want it.
Seems a bit...
She should get some sleep.
- The fact is that I'm hungry.
- Then eat.
That's why I came. I know you are
busy, but would you eat with me?
- To compensate.
- No need.
But I want.
What do you have in store for you?
stars today? Did your mother say?
Yes.
I need to persevere in what I do,
no matter how useless it seems.
He's acting again.
Please.
It's a beautiful day. We can have lunch
in the field. I have a car.
Or in Bois. If you stay
If you're bored, you can call a taxi.
Think about everything.
Ah, another sock. I think your
girlfriends wear pants.
- I don't have any girlfriend.
- Why not?
I don't know.
Try to think. When did this start
your general abandonment?
Well, I've met many
girls, but it never lasted.
I think it's mine
fault. They are so young...
- What's wrong?
- I don't know. It must be me.
For example, the last...
She was beautiful, and just like the
older people imagine they are young people.
And how do you imagine
older are the young?
You know. They try to appear
wickedly decadent.
They run in their carts at full speed
speed, with teeth clenched.
And light a cigarette when
open your eyes in the morning.
And she kept telling me
that love was nothing more than
than the contact of two skins.
- And you?
- I think love is more than that.
She cried when I left her.
I'm not proud of that. I hate the end
of things, the goodbyes, the goodbyes.
Then you shouldn't
never fall in love.
True?
I hope not.
Do you love your husband?
I don't have a husband.
Here it is, sir, a dry double.
Thanks. After last night
should drink water.
- I feel good. Give me courage.
- Did I intimidate you?
No, but I'm afraid you'll get bored. You can
to think I'm one of those spoiled young men
who find a pleasant job
that your parents can afford
and that's what they're busy with
trying to keep busy.
- Is that what you think of yourself?
- No. I like my job.
Doesn't sound very enthusiastic.
Business Law? Nothing is more
boring. But Criminal Law...
Why don't you dedicate yourself to this one?
In my family, we don't practice
Criminal Law. That doesn't happen.
Have you ever seen anyone
murder trial?
It's wonderful. In each country it is different, and
equally exciting in its own way.
In America, it's Why did you lie?
I didn't lie. I had the gun in my hand. "Protest."
Bullshit, O'Toole,
you threatened to kill him.
It wasn't me. I was trapped.
I protest . I accept . Excellence .
In France it's different.
The French have logic,
sophistry and sense of drama.
I accuse...
Forgiveness.
I accuse in the name of the dead, of running away
of his duty as a human being.
The accusation of letting love pass by,
of neglecting your duty to be happy,
living on the run, in
subterfuge and resignation.
He should be sentenced to death.
You will be condemned to solitude.
- A horrible sentence.
- The worst.
The worst and scariest.
Being alone, without love, right?
Yes.
I must seem more ridiculous to you
than last night.
- No.
- Or do you think I'm acting...?
No, I was thinking about myself.
But I also thought she was young
too much to feel these things.
- Alone and without love.
- Don't you know?
No.
Either way, it takes two.
It's not enough to love,
You need to be loved.
- Looks sad.
- No, I'm not.
I would like to...
I would like to...
I don't really know her,
but I would like
believe that you are happy.
Here's good.
Well, thanks for the meal.
Goodbye.
- Where are you going?
- Make some calls.
Can I go with you? No. I am
very good. Thanks again.
- Can't I accompany you?
- No. Goodbye.
Hello.
I thought I could take your
packages. Or accompany her to the store.
Please don't get tired
of me. I couldn't bear it.
You really are a boy. Must have
I was very spoiled as a child.
Oh yes. My mother gave me everything.
It was easier than saying no.
- And your father?
- We left him when I was 7 years old.
Since then we have been traveling, my mother
and me. Your home is where your heart is.
- And it broadens your mind to travel.
- You're right.
I have a lot of useless information,
I made thousands of acquaintances...
without the weight of friendship.
I've been to 27 different schools
and I can say "I love you"
in 13 different languages.
- It's not bad. Good...
- That's my favorite.
- Yes, I love you in Norwegian.
- Was it a Norwegian who taught you?
Yes, this is the syllable that
but it adds emotion.
- Well, we're here. Goodbye.
- Wait, wait a minute.
Yes?
- Do you like Brahms?
- What?
There will be a good concert,
Sunday, at Salle Pleyel.
Brahms. Do you like Brahms?
What it was? The last time I
They asked that when I was 17 years old.
- And what did you say?
- Yes. She was in love.
We went to the concert and sat in the
stage holding hands, listening to... Brahms?
Well, I don't have
sure, but it was beautiful.
- So you like it.
- I don't know. It was a long time ago.
Don't you want to come with me
to find out?
This weekend I have plans.
I'm trying to let myself be free.
It will be because of... the man with
Who was there last night?
- Yes.
- Is it permanent?
Yes bye.
Thanks again.
How funny.
What? Men always
smoke afterwards.
- Oh, huh? I never noticed.
- Yes, they always smoke.
- Can I have one?
- Yes.
Maisie, you know a lot of interesting things,
Why do you insist on calling me Maisie?
I have a bad memory with names.
It makes life easier.
- Do you call all your girls Maisie?
- Yes.
It looks very nice.
Which Maisie am I? Maisie number 7?
Maisie is 27?
Maisie number 127?
Maisie #1.
Oh, how gallant. A little more
Champagne, please.
I was happy that you had

Me too. But I don't know why
chose among so many handsome men.
They are nothing more than children.
They talk and talk.
They just like to talk.
But you...
The moment I saw you I knew
what you had in mind.
Don't laugh. It's very rare lately.
Ask any girl.
How did you get rid of Cherel?
Oh, poor Andrew.
It's fun in the cinema, but if
If you knew how boring it is...
I'll never know.
Don't worry about him.
Rogers,
Let's go out at the weekend. You will certainly
know beautiful places near Paris.
You're free, aren't you?
Someone told me that
was committed. Is it true?
No, no. I am free.
Yes dear.
Yes. I was waiting to see what you
I wanted to do it this weekend.
What?
I'm sorry, honey. But I can only
take care of this business on the weekend.
The man is in Brussels
and I have to go see him.
It could mean a sale of
75 tractors. Yes I understand.
Of course.
Oh, I don't know.
I'm going to the cinema, I think. Yes, I know that
There's a bridge game on Saturday.
Who?
No, I'm not calling Jimmy. Per
What are you going to fix for me soon?
Roger, stop trying
solve my weekend.
If you feel bad because
I will, I will try to go back.
Don't be silly, obviously
you have to go. And I'm going to work.
One of my clients asked me
and I said no, but now...
Yes, we will work both.
Honey, when are you coming back? See well,
I will be here. And drive carefully.
Yes, I will, darling.
Goodbye.
Hello.
I'm sorry, darling, I'm
late, but you know how it is.
How much? What it was? Circulate, circulate.
Now. C'mon C'mon.
12,000 francs.
Oh my God! It costs 24 per meter.
Yes.
Today I feel terrible.
How much does this one cost?
This is 14,000.
I'll keep this one.
- All good.
- There's nothing wrong, right?
- No, it's a very beautiful color.
- You have great taste.
It has done wonders
soon.
- Oh thank you.
- Well, I can tell you that too.
I'm planning one
dinner for the 19th.
It's on Friday next week.
- I probably won't be able to...
- I'm sorry, but I've already sent the invitations.
- I'll do what I can.
- And you have to come, naturally.
Thanks. Now look at these
fabrics, Mrs. Van der Besh.
Sorry,
call me Teresa.
I chose this for your room
and this one for your son's.
In fact, I sent
an invitation to your friend.
Roger Desmarest.
It's called that, right?
Honey, Paris is like a village.
Everyone knows about other people's lives.
Do you want some tea?
No, thank you. But I would like
look at these fabrics.
Oh, Paula. I couldn't
look at nothing else today.
I trust you. But
don't spend a lot of money.
- Madam. - Bring us one
tea please, Suzanne.
- Oui, madam.
- I thought of this for your son.
I don't know what you like
Philip. Impossible.
It's not that difficult. Honey, it's impossible.
He's almost a manic depressive.
Love the world, hate the
world. Just like your father.
Do you know he drinks?
His father also drank,
but it was charming...
Ah, there you are, darling.
We were talking about you.
- How lucky. Hello.
- Hello. I gotta go.
- Not without drinking tea.
- Thank you, but I have things to do.
- I'll call on Friday.
- Goodbye dear. Don't forget the 19th.
No. Goodbye.
I accompany her.
- What it was?
- Anything.
- Something wrong?
- No.
No, can I go down with you?
- I didn't expect
see her today. - No.
- What happened to your weekend?
- Roger went on a business trip.
I understand.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
The switch is behind you.
Move away.
Stay away, you're bothering me.
Philip,
please let me go.
Gaby.
- Oui, madam. I'm coming.
Good morning, Madame.
- I love you every day,
- but especially on Sundays.
- I could bring breakfast every day.
Very tempting, Gaby.
No strawberry jam left?
What a shame. Well, I'll buy it tomorrow.
- There's a message for you.
- Where?
He went to the phone. Too early.
He said he didn't want to bother.
- Mr. Roger?
- No, another man.
He didn't leave his name, but he made me
repeat the message a thousand times.
See how?
And what is the message?
I'm sorry about yesterday.
Do you like Brahms?
Did you understand?
Yes.
- Yes I understood.
- But what are Brahms?
Look over there.
The second above.
Yes, that's it. Put it on.
Right. The first button.
That's Brahms.
It's better to get dressed.
Is it necessary?
Yes.
- What time is it?
- Almost 5:30am.
Why don't we stay here
tonight and let's go tomorrow? No.
Why not?
- I have to be in Paris tonight.
- Why?
- It's none of your business.
- I'm not going.
- What?
- I'm not going.
Maisie.
-Maisie.
-No.
- Come on, Maisie.
- I want to stay here.
- Enough, Maisie.
- No.
- Please.
- I want to stay.
He arrives! Maisie!
- Hello.
- Hello.
I'm glad you like Brahms.
I don't know if I really like it.
Anyway, it's here.
I can look, right?
Sorry.
- The dry martini.
- Yes.
How much is everything?
Nine francs.
Thanks. Thanks.
There is no difference. He said
especially extra-dry.
- What it was?
- Anything.
The doorbell is ringing. We should
to go back. The break is over.
Will you have dinner with me after the concert?
I can't. I have to go home.
I didn't say I didn't work in the
weekends? I expect Roger tonight.
- What if he doesn't show up?
- Then, I'll have dinner alone.
Must be a great man
to deserve such devotion.
I love him.
It's him?
- What about him?
- He loves her?
Yes.
Certainly. Everything is better
in the best of all worlds.
Don't be cynical, it doesn't fit
with you. At your age, you...
Stop laughing at me. Stop talking
like I was five years old.
Sorry.
I don't laugh at you, but at the papers
who interprets. If it were you...
It's true.
I've made myself look brilliant
lawyer, shy lover,
of a spoiled child, and he knows what else.
But it was all for you, just for you.
Don't you think this is love?
Let's hurry.
I am really sorry. It's afternoon.
Silence.
Since when...
Since when have you been with Roger?
Five years.
- And have you been happy?
- Yes, I have been.
Ever?
There is no Always .
I had five years of
happiness, of doubts,
of heat and pain...
But all that matters is happiness.
Now he is not happy.
- Yes I am.
- No.
I said I love him.
- And also mother, nanny, car.
- What are you talking about?
She says she loves him, but she's alone.
She's alone on Sundays.
How many times do you
Do you sleep alone?
- You don't have the right...
- Yes I have.
I'm in love and nothing will stop me,
and I will make you leave him if I can.
I will do it,
I will do it.
Sir, please.
What is this?
- Brahms.
- How do you know?
Well, the radio said.
Like that?
Sunday afternoon at
radio is terrible.
- Leave it where it was.
- Well, there's nothing more...
Funny.
At eight years old he dreamed of
be an orchestra conductor.
I dreamed of being a
movie star. And I will be.
Tomorrow I have dinner with
Cherel. But I call you
when you can go, right?
Yes yes.
I wouldn't want you to leave me
tonight. I'll miss you.
Maisie, I can't drive.
Don't be silly, it's a
excellent driver.
In fact, you
It's excellent in everything.
Hello.
What it was? Anything. I'm just happy
to see him. How was the trip?
Good.
- Just arrived?
- Yes.
- Where were you?
- At a concert at Salle Pleyel.
Oh, do you like Brahms?
Why do you ask?
I heard it on the radio while I was returning.
How were you?
Young Van der Besh invited me,
I had nothing to do.
I didn't remember if I liked it
or not by Brahms.
The young man asked me a silly question
and I got no response. I had forgotten.
Lately I don't remember anything except
that I love a man who is never with me.
Paula, what's wrong?
I already said. They made me one
question, but I couldn't answer.
And suddenly the questions
seem important to me.
Do I like Brahms? What is my color
favorite? Do I like roses? I love you?
What happened? What
Did that boy tell you?
What does it matter what he
Said if I love you?
And you know the answer to
that, right? What have you done?
- Listened to Brahms.
- Stop talking about Brahms.
- I can't leave him out.
- Was he talking about me?
Yes, from you and me.
- You know I love you.
- No, I don't know. I don't know anything.
Roger, has time passed for me?
Already?
Paula, what can I say?
- What is most important to me?
- May there be someone who is always there,
someone you can be with
safe, someone to love, someone to trust.
Sometimes I wish I was one of the
girls you pick up in bars.
It won't be this one you trust,
whom you esteem, only the one you love.
They don't mean
nothing for me.
- I know.
- That's the way I am.
- I never tried to hide it.
- No, you were always honest.
And you never cared.
That's what he told me.
- Exactly...
- As long as we are honest...
- We can be self-indulgent.
- Paula, what's wrong?
I wish we fell in love
Again, that's all.
- We were so confident in the future.
- I still am, nothing has changed.
- And can we continue like this?
- Clear.
- Forever?
- Of course, why not?
I love you.
You had a bad weekend.
I'm sorry I left you.
I am fine.
- Where will we have dinner?
- Where would you like?
Whatever. I'll change mine
dress and retouch the face.
I won't be long. Look,
his mask fell.
Nothing else. There it is.
- What do you think of L'Escargot?
- Do you think we can get in?
I think so.
Want a drink?
- Do you want it?
- No, thank you.
Well, tell me. What's Brussels like?
Was the travel good?
Yes a lot.
He doesn't seem enthusiastic.
How about Chez Allard? No, I think
which are not open on Sundays.
L'Escargot is fine.
Roger.
- Yes?
- I'm glad you came today.
- Me too.
- Was there a lot of traffic?
Sunday is always bad. But
the avenue is always fast.
Avenue? There are none
avenue in Brussels.
No, of course not.
Did I say avenue?
They organized the road so
Well, it looks like an avenue.
I was a little late.
- I am happy.
- How about a place with music?
You may be right.
I don't know which one is open.
Let's go for a drive.
All good.
- Is it the door?
- Yes yes. I answer.
- Hello, Gaby.
- Good evening, sir.
- Who is it?
- Gaby.
- I have a letter for you.
- A letter for you.
All good.
How's your English, Gaby?
I haven't seen you in a while.
I am always here.
- Whose is it?
- I don't know.
They brought it in their hands.
Here.
Thanks. If it matters
to read to me, dear?
- It could be personal.
- I don't think so.
Yeah.
It's by young Van der Besh.
It doesn't matter.
We have no secrets
between us, right?
I ask you to forgive me.
I was jealous
and you can only have
jealousy of what one owns.
Well, now get rid of
me for a while.
I'm going to London tomorrow
work on a case. It's very important,
but I don't care,
because I will only think of you.
Please, even if you didn't want to
see me again, remember
that I love her.
Your Philip.
I'm ready.
You haven't told me where you want to go. Any
A place with music is good, right?
All good.
As my doctor friend suggested,
the facts seem simple.
One day, the right one
time and in a certain place,
two ships collided:
one English and one French...
Here are the papers
who ordered from Paris. Oh, right.
- How are you?
- Good.
- He also received a letter.
- Thanks.
I wonder how
explain my friend doctor
in simple terms
Sharp's testimony,
- which stated:
- I'm sorry.
At no point in the 10
minutes before the collision,
I heard no signal
of the British ship.
Complication three complication.
There is also the issue of fog.
Glenville declares that the
fog was rising,
but Olivier claims
categorically that it decreases.
There is also the testimony
from Cape Belnapp...
Belnapp.
...who admitted leaving
the bridge moments before
to search more
sugar for your coffee.
Allow me to remind you, Your Honor,
Sailor Gendrin's statement...
I have to go back to Paris.
important. Here.
I am really sorry.
Airport, please.
But first stop in Dorchester.
It's beautiful. Don't believe it, Lucien?
- Yes my dear.
- Thank you, Myrtle.
- Was it very expensive?
- Not for me, darling.
- Who is he?
- Who? He?
He's in the trucking business.
I think she told me that.
I must say he looks like this.
Thanks.
- It looks quite attractive.
- Do you think so?
Yes, actually, it's a lot.
- Roger, try not to look bored.
- Bored?
How could I get bored with
such a happy and charming group?
At least be nice to Mrs.
Van der Besh. He didn't even talk to her.
Yes, I said it. I said: Good evening,
Thank you for inviting me.
Please. Here she comes.
Paula, everyone loved it
the apartment.
They are very excited.
You must be satisfied, sir.
He should be proud of you, Paula.
I am, ma'am.
You deal with something
related to trucks, right?
How interesting.
You buy trucks at
America and sell them in Europe?
Sometimes it's the opposite.
We are very flexible.
Fascinating. It's a pity that
Philip isn't here.
You look beautiful.
Philip is my son. Will be furious
When I know you came,
but he's in London for something
terribly cool. Did you know?
Philip is crazy about Paula.
- It's moving.
- Yes I know.
- Dinner is served, ma'am.
- The dinner. Okay, Suzanne.
Marie-H l ne, Claude.
Dinner is served.
Raymond, will you sit
next to Mrs. Fleury.
Alain, my dear, you
stays with Mrs. Tessier.
Paula, talk about modern painting.
It has a fabulous collection.
And you to mine
side, Mr. Desmarest.
Tell me all about trucks
and what you do with them.
- You're from Leo, right?
- I'm sorry?
Must have been born in the end
July or early August.
No, at the beginning of May.
Oh, Taurus, Taurus.
I should have imagined.
- The menu, ma'am.
- Thanks.
This is the hardest thing, getting
for people to find their place.
Franoise, here.
Marie-H l ne, there.
Claude...
- Mr. Philip!
- Good evening, Micheline.
And Paula, darling, you stay here.
Oh, no, sorry. On the other side, there.
Alain is on his right and Raymond is on his left.
Lucien next to Fran oise on the right...
Sorry, but I must be frank.
It seems absurd to me.
They are called
abstract expressionists
but what do they express?
I wonder.
Well, right?
We were talking about Jean Dupr .
Clear. Do you already know about your last affair?
I'm afraid I don't even know who
It's the gentleman. Don't you know Jean?
No, I'm sorry. And I don't know why I
I should care about your latest affair.
- Unless...
- Unless what?
That this lady
was my wife.
And luckily I'm not married. This is
A very radical attitude, don't you think?
If everyone were like you
What would we talk about?
Philip.
Goodnight.
I hope it doesn't bother you. But if not
We waited until Saturday.
- I wanted to surprise you.
- Philip, what happened?
- Is the case solved?
- Oh, no. But it's going well.
Honey, have you eaten yet?
Yes, I took something on the plane.
But I'll keep you company.
No, Marcelle, the
Mr. Philip has already had dinner.
- Hello.
- Hello.
...that looks good. O
hard work suits him well.
I received your message. As soon as
I arrived, I came immediately.
- Any fruit?
- No, thank you.
I never thought that
I would hate London so much.
You're in luck, mom wants to talk
with you. And do you want to talk to Paula?
Exactly.
Wait a minute.
- There's something I want to ask.
- What?
I...
I wonder if
she would have a cigar.
Clear.
- What did you say to Philip?
- I asked him for a cigar. Why?
- He seemed irritated.
- I wasn't.
- Should be?
- I don't know.
Here it is.
Oh! Thank you.
- Do you like cigars?
- Unfortunately, no.
- I'll bring you something to
to drink? - No, thank you.
I think we should go.
I have to wake up early.
Well, if Paula isn't tired
I can take her home later.
I think so.
Would you like that, dear?
No, it's getting
afternoon. Goodnight.
Goodnight.
You lit up the party.
I was bored until
when the boy arrived.
Now they will have something to talk about.
You already know about the decorator
from Mrs. Van der Besh?
She decorated the apartment and seduced
her son without any additional.
I think it's a good opportunity.
If you are going to make your young man's room
Boss, why don't you take care of him too?
Make the work
much more interesting.
- Are you going to travel tomorrow?
- Yes.
To where?
I already said: Switzerland,
Denmark, Germany.
How much time?
About ten days.
Roger, I...
Goodnight.
Philip?!
How did it arrive so quickly?
He acted like a madman.
Come up, please.
Why do you do these stupid things?
Please. Just a moment.
- Why did you come back from
London? - To see her.
Why?
For your letter.
But it's ridiculous... What did it say?
Come back quickly.
Oh, no.
My sweet Philip, his letter was
very sad and bigger than they deserve.
I am feeling homesick.
Come back quickly.
I didn't mean that.
I felt tired and unhappy.
And alone.
I am really sorry. I shouldn't have written.
But did you feel?
I think so. In that time.
Has anything changed since then?
No,
nothing changed.
So...
Here it is. SAS 252.
You can now board.
- This way, gentlemen, please.
- Did you telegraph to Copenhagen?
- Yes, they will send a car.
- Roger!
Paula!
- Go ahead, I'm coming.
- We don't have much time.
Don't worry.
Paula, what are you doing here?
I called you at home but I already had
gone. I wanted to see him.
Come here.
I'm sorry about last night.
I was jealous. Oh, I called you, but...
- Roger, will you take me with you?
- What?
- I want to go with you. Can I?
- Paula, the plane leaves in two minutes.
I go home, pack a suitcase, and
next to you tonight. Where will you be?
Honey, I'm going with two men
from Chicago. How will I explain?
Tell them I'm your wife. The americans
travel with their wives. You will understand.
Paula, this is crazy.
Is it for this boy?
It's for me. Please.
- Roger!
- Yes, I'm coming.
Don't worry, I'll be back
fast. It's only ten days.
Get rid of this boy,
Paula. He worries you.
And don't worry. All
It'll be fine, you'll see.
Paula, you know I love you. I call
for you when you get back. Goodbye dear.
Attention please!
Mr. Demoray...
Goodbye.
...a passenger on flight 252...
... they ask you to pass urgently
through customs passport control.
Thanks.
I have been practicing the law for
40 years, and in my life
I've never heard of anyone who
left halfway through a trial.
I'll tell you something.
If it weren't for your mother,
I would ask you to go
although once...
Al ? Yes.
Who wants?
I am afraid that Mr Van der Besh
be busy. One moment please.
Ah, here he is. Wait a minute.
This time he didn't get away with it. What did you say?
- I don't know. I didn't listen. Who is it?
- A personal call.
- A woman's voice, and it's not your mother.
- Al ?
Yes, Paula.
Yes, of course we can talk.
Tonight we could...
- Philip, I'm afraid I can't.
- What do you mean?
I can't see you again,
Philip. Try to understand, it will hurt you.
Don't try to see me, please.
Do you promise? Phillip?
Philip, promise me, please.
Yes.
Yes of course.
Philip, come on, I'm done.
Let's go. It will take days like this.
You were ready to make sacrifices
for love. I know I said it,
and I'm sorry.
That was a long time ago.
Well, I'm in love.
- But she doesn't believe me.
- I believe in you.
I've said it thousands of times.
Let's go now
Philip, are you coming?
Well, I'll be right there.
- Will you be okay?
- Yes.
We'll talk tomorrow. See you later.
Hello.
She's gone and left you, right?
Talk about love as if
knew a lot about him.
Yeah, I know.
Invite me for a drink?
Clear.
- Two whiskeys.
- Yes sir.
- Well, talk.
- What?
Of love.
It's hard to explain... It's nothing.
It's just a word in a song.
In millions of songs.
You said it yourself.
It is the most used word in
world and means nothing.
Just one word in a song.
Right,
for old love.
For old love.
Are you going to sing another one?
Good...
Love is nothing more than
one word,
it doesn't mean anything.
it's a way
extravagant to say
that two people
want to be happy.
Love is no longer
than a word.
And when the fun begins,
a word we use to
cover a mountain of sins.
Love is nothing more than
one word
that fell on the city...
- How long have you been here?
- I don't know.
- It must be soaked.
- I had to see her.
- I tried...
- All good.
Since we talked, I don't know
where I went or what I did.
- And you?
- I? Working.
I went to a collection,
I bought clothes.
They are opening a street
in front of my house.
Yes I know. My car
it almost stays there.
It will be repaired within
of a few days.
Paula, are you sure you don't want to
anything? There's a great-looking chicken.
How hungry I feel!
Where is the butter?
Butter, butter.
What do you think, since I'm
in love, don't I need to?
Is there any wine?
No, nothing. Great,
I found a beer.
It's here, it's here.
Honey, can you flip the record?
It doesn't matter, I'll do it myself.
Well, here I am. What
such? Nice look, huh?
I feel like I don't have
eaten over several days.
Hello, my love.
Gaby. Hang on. I forgot that
I locked myself in last night.
Good morning. Okay, now me
surprised. Give it to me.
- Do you want...?
- Paula. Can you help me...?
Good morning. Can you help me with this?
Gaby, this is Philip...
- Mr. Van der Besh.
- Good day sir.
Don't worry about coffee
in the morning, I do it myself.
Thank you, Gabby.
Gaby. I'll call her if necessary.
- I was embarrassed.
- Embarrassed, no: surprised.
Gaby is my defender and protector.
She's older and wiser than me.
- Check the time. I'll be late.
- I can take you to the store.
I don't want you to take me.
You can pass the butter.
- Why not?
- It's not necessary.
I can leave it on the corner if not
want them to see us. Why?
I don't know, I thought... I don't know
worry, you'll know quickly.
and you will have a lot of fun. You already know
of Paula and her youngest son?
What vitality does this have?
appetite for young people.
Do you mind?
- Not really.
- Then nothing happens.
- What time will you leave?
- About six hours.
At 6am? And what do I do until 6am?
How do you know I won't be busy?
It's true, I don't know.
Let me do this.
- Tonight I will be free.
- Right.
- But what will I do until 6am?
- I don't know, work.
To work? Oh, I know.
I will wander through Paris thinking of you,
and then I will eat thinking of you.
So I'll wait until 6am...
- How much?
- 4.50 Cents.
Hey sir! Sir!
- You can go, I'll catch up with you later.
- Why? Where are you going?
Use a telephone. Tell the doorman
find a taxi.
What's your number?
Don't worry, I'll be right there.
- Al ?
- Paula?
Al . I just arrived.
I'm at the airport.
How are you? Had a good trip?
I want to see you. We can
dinner tonight?
No. Dinner, no.
- Well, how about lunch?
- Yes, lunch, yes.
Where would you like it? Whatever.
A place where you don't see many people.
- Pre Catalo?
- Okay, see you there.
- Don't you want me to pick you up?
- No, see you there.
Right. Pre Catalo,
1h.
Paula,
I...
I can't wait to see her.
Goodbye, Roger.
- Sorry I'm late.
- No, I just arrived.
- Don't you feel well?
- Why?
Well, it's not one to drink during the day.
No, I felt a little tired.
So, I think I'll take
a vermouth. A Noilly?
- Yes.
- Right.
- It seems like we haven't seen each other for a long time.
- Ten days.
It seems more.
I called a few times
Germany, but I didn't find it.
I go out a lot. No
I should have come back yet.
- Before you didn't do that.
- Please, ma'am.
Here it is.
Thanks.
Did you see Jimmy?
No.
And what he does?
I saw a lot of Philip.
Ah, the young man.
To be continued
crazy about you?
Do you still find him funny?
Yes.
Grace or more than that?
More.
Well, there's nothing to say, right?
He could say many things.
Roger, if I said that
everything still depends on you,
- I wouldn't know what to say, would I?
- I don't know.
But, I yes.
I would say you are very obsessed with
his freedom, scared of losing it.
I said I don't know. I only know that I hate
the idea that you and this boy...
- The same, please.
- Yes sir.
I hope it's worth it.
It's not about that. He loves me.
When I invited you to lunch,
I didn't imagine I would have to hear
about her romance with this boy.
You always made me
know about yours with your girls.
At least that's normal.
Or better...
I say....
Goodbye, Roger.
Here it is, your Martini.
Thanks.
Paula.
I'm sorry, it was stupid.
You know I didn't mean it.
No, it was my fault too.
Maybe we shouldn't
see us for a while.
- Goodbye honey.
- Paula, you know that I...
You mean a lot
for me, Paula.
It's serious.
29. Black, odd, inside.
Love.
Thanks.
17 chips. The last 4,
the first 3. All 5.
- What is the fourth number?
- What?
- Our room number.
- I don't know.
You have the key.
- The rest in 4 and 25.
- Yes ma'am.
- A brandy, please.
- Roger.
- Hi, Jimmy.
- What are you doing in Deauville?
- I decided to leave for a while, you know.
- Is Paula here? Where are you staying?
No, Paula is not here.
I haven't seen her for two months. I am really sorry,
I didn't know. Well, it's a...
What I mean to say...
See you later, Roger.
Close the window, my love.
My love, close the window, it's cold.
- Stop calling me love.
- What time is it?
God. Don't you understand
What is it 5 am?
Why are you standing, my love?
He's not rested yet.
- Stop calling me love.
- Then don't call me Maisie.
- Stop using that word.
- What it was?
Love love. Do you know
what does that mean?
Do you know?
What is love? We came here to
discuss my vocabulary?
Stop calling me love. He is
good at night, but not in the morning.
Ah, now we get picky.
Could you close the window?
- Mr. Desmarest, your car is here.
- Thanks,
- Here's the bill and the change.
- Thanks.
- Thank you, sir. Reception.
- Yes, madam.
- Mr. Desmarest?
- No, I didn't see him.
- Thanks.
- Thanks. And your luggage?
- The young lady will take care of her.
- Right, sir.
I hope so.
Philip!
Philip.
Philip!
- Hello.
- I want to talk to you.
You can't continue, you have to work.
Since when have you not been to the office?
- Since Tuesday.
- And before that?
Say goodbye in the morning and wait
come home at night.
And now she likes it
in secret drinking.
It doesn't stay that way. I just washed the bottle
because I know you hate mess.
Yes, I hate clutter.
And the lies and the weakness,
and soon I will hate you.
It had to come to that, right?
Philip, I didn't mean
say that. But...
I can't allow it to change
in a stupid drunk for me.
I already told you to go to work
thousand times. And this is the last one.
- And if I don't go, what? -
I won't be able to see him again.
Could you leave me like this,
just for that?
Yes.
Oh, Philip.
Philip, that's enough, you're acting.
Look at me. Look at me.
What's wrong?
You just don't love me.
And I can't do
nothing about it.
From the beginning I knew
that one day he would leave me,
but I always kept waiting
that this would never happen.
And all the whiskey I
I drank all the whiskey in the world
couldn't change anything
because it had already happened.
That's it.
No, Philip,
You are a fool. A boy...
or a madman.
Play the rejected lover and do it
so well that he even believes in himself.
I care. And you know, Philip.
Come on, look at me. Look at me.
Don't you want me to come?
No, not today. But
I want you to work.
I will work. I promise.
I was so scared.
You are a fool.
- What it was?
- I wanted to know if you were here. I am really sorry.
Al ?
Who would like, please?
Oh yes. One moment please.
Mrs. Tessier.
- Yes?
- Mr. Desmarest.
- Roger, Hi.
- Paula?
Paula.
- How are you?
- Well. And you?.
I am fine
Next week I will be on vacation.
This time of year, you know...
Remember that always
were we traveling for two weeks?
So I thought I'd call you and...
How am I buying my ticket
Maybe you'd like me to get one for you.
- I don't think it's possible, Roger.
- No?
No.
It's not that easy.
How could we go and pretend nothing...?
We couldn't stop thinking...
No, that's why I'm going, to
don't think. To not think about anything.
- That's not a good reason to go.
- It's the best.
No, it's not that easy.
And I assure you that I do not
you need me for that. Paula.
I'm sure it will be fine
alone or with one of your...
- With any other.
- What?
Anything.
They don't mean anything to me.
As long as I'm here waiting for you.
So you don't want to go?
No, Roger. Goodbye.
Paula...
Take care, will you?
Yes, I will take care of myself.
Don't rush me. See?
It's not bad at all.
- Excuse me. Dinner is served.
- Finally. It's already getting cold, right?
A little. Oh, waiter,
Would you mind going up to 16...?
- What do you want, dear?
- The yellow jacket on the bed.
- Yes ma'am.
- Okay, let's go.
- Hang on.
- Did you cheat?
No. I knew I would win. No
Did you cheat by pushing with your foot?
Of course not.
She should be ashamed.
It's wonderful to escape Paris.
You look different, you transform.
Thanks. And if we stay another night
and return in the morning?
- Of course, why not?
- Philip.
- Good night Good Night.
- Philip.
Do you already know Mrs.
Tessier, right?
Mrs. Fleury, Mr. Fleury,
and these are Madeleine and Pierre.
Goodnight.
Did you come from Paris for dinner? It's a place
wonderful, isn't it? How's the traffic?
We got a traffic jam
yesterday in St. Cloud.
- Here it is.
- Is this it, madam?
Yes, thank you. Sit down, children,
the food is getting cold.
Lucien!
Your key, sir.
It was a pleasure to see you again.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
- Shall we have another drink to warm up?
- How old is she?
Lucien, ask for the bill, everything
It takes forever here.
- Over here, the table is ready.
- Go ahead, I'll be right there.
Two dry.
Boys!
Here it is.
Thanks.
- Where are you, madam?
- She's gone.
But dinner is ready.
- I want to go back to Paris.
- Right.
Paula, what do you care?
what do people think?
Anything.
- How do things change?
- Let's not talk about it.
- No. Let's talk and you'll listen to me.
- No, please.
This is unworthy of you
and humiliating for me.
- You're exaggerating.
- No, you're exaggerating.
I'm not an idiot nor a boy
for anyone who has to hide anything.
If you wanted, we would get married tomorrow.
Don't be silly. I'm much older than...
Age is not a problem. I love you, I need
of you and it doesn't matter what people say.
The only problem for
You, for us, are Roger.
It's still there, isn't it? Inside of
you. And you can't remove it.
What did you do even when someone
Did you have a devil inside you?
Prayers, bells, lots of noise? If I
If you did all this, would you take Roger away from you?
Perhaps.
I am really sorry. Never
I imagined you...
I never imagined that you
could think about it.
- Do you think we should continue?
- It depends on you, the price remains low.
Who is this man who continues
launching against us? It's another antique shop.
It will stop soon, I know it.
I hope so, because I...
Okay, they're ours.
And for a good price.
- Here you go, Mrs. Tessier.
- Thanks. I'll come and get it tomorrow.
They're a bargain, aren't they? I think that
They will look great in the library.
Come to think of it, I could
put them in Philip's room.
Surely, how is he?
Don't you see it?
Comes from time to time
to pick up the clothes.
- I didn't know.
- Honey, that's totally normal.
I always wished Philip would
fall in love with an older woman.
Do you want me to pay you one
commission for the chairs?
We have taken his time,
It will have to be paid, right?
- Oh, please.
- Well, if you insist...
Would you mind if I
asked something about Philip?
Yes, I care.
His car is here, madam.
Thank you.
Can I take her,
Paula? I'm going to Dior.
No, thank you, I prefer to walk.
- He is sure?
- Yes, thank you. Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Either way, you learned something from
French laws while she was here.
But you will work in New York,
where you will live.
I had a long conversation with
your mother and we agree that,
In the current circumstances,
It would be good for your career
return to New York.
It's very kind, but
I'm not leaving here.
I'm afraid you haven't
choice. Yes I have.
Well, you'll have to talk
with your mother about it. Alice.
Mr. Fleury, if they find out
who has a lover,
and I'm sure you have, to
where will you send it? Goodbye, sir.
Bye Bye. Goodbye everyone.
Over here, please,
that table. Oh no,
not that one. Not tonight.
- I'm afraid everything is booked.
- And how about this?
- Sorry but...
- No buts. What is your name?
Franois.
Franois, you don't know me, but this is a
important night for us. We're left with this one.
- After you, ma'am.
- You crazy.
- Did you send for me?
- Yes, we want flowers, please.
You are crazy!
I want you to find the most
beautiful for you lady. But, sir...
- Here.
- Thank you, sir, I'll try.
- He's completely crazy.
- Absolutely.
- What is all this for?
- We're celebrating.
What?
My independence from the world
and my dependence on you.
- Franois!
- Yes sir?
To start, serve us the most delicious dish.
luxury of your restaurant's history.
Want to start with
foie gras pat ? No!
- No. Caviar?
- Caviar.
- Caviar. With blinis?
- Yes.
Will you grant me the pleasure of this dance?
- Sir?
- Vodka. The best year.
- Right, sir. And what wine do you want?
- No, no, no wine. Champagne.
- Right, sir.
Can you tell me what
does all this mean?
I left my job. Or
Better yet, I exchanged it for Paris.
- Did you leave your job?
- Yes.
- Why? - Iam
send me to New York.
- But Philip...
- No buts. Let's make a deal, shall we?
No, Philip. You can't do
that. I won't allow it.
It's done.
- I saw her in Balenciaga...
- Goodnight.
Goodnight.
I saw her in Balenciaga
with a Balmain dress,
and the next day in Lauvin with a
Givenchy. Aren't you curious? Waiter.
Today I was having lunch with
Guy Laroche and wore Chanel.
Rogers...
- Roger, what are you thinking?
- How stupid the world is.
What?
Anything.
Come,
Maisie, let's dance.
I must confess something.
I almost did something terrible.
What?
There is a precious abyss between your
neck and his shoulder that I almost bit.
- Can I?
- Why, Philip!
Well, think again and tell me.
- It's too far away tonight.
- Oh, huh?
- Shall we go to Elephant Blanc?
- I'm fine here.
- Let's go? I believe it's dinner.
- Right.
Here's the caviar, gentlemen.
Sirs.
Blinis, ma'am? Sir, blinis?
Thanks.
Let's go somewhere else?
If you want...
Excuse me.
Whatever.
Good,
where do we go now?
I don't know.
- Good evening, Philip.
- Paula.
I can see you...
tomorrow?
Yes of course.
- I can help with something?
- Good morning.
Oh, Mr. Desmarest. There is
I hadn't seen him for a long time.
- Yes. Is Paula?
-Oh, yes, she is...
I was here a minute ago.
Mrs. Tessier!
Mrs. Tessier!
Yes, Mr. Steiner? Ah, Roger, hello.
Hi Paula.
Paula, I...
- Can we go somewhere?
- Yes of course.
Paula, I planned a whole
speech, but now...
Help me.
Last night I wanted
cross the room and say:
Enough, let's go home.
Then go walking
and walking...
This cannot continue like this.
I...
I can't live without
you. There, i said it.
Well, it was so
terrible to say?
It was all my fault.
I shouldn't have allowed you to see him.
Should have stopped it from the beginning.
Honey, don't you
It's very bright.
- No?
- No, but that doesn't matter.
I'm at home.
Or whatever it is.
Here. Sugar?
Philip.
Philip, try to understand.
We met at a time when
that they both needed each other.
And we were very lucky.
But this is not enough to maintain two
people together. It couldn't last.
I selfishly wished
that it would last, but it couldn't be.
All I had to do
was to say please .
Well I guess I should feel
proud in a sense.
If it weren't for me, you would probably
we would have gotten married. You knew?
I'm a kind of... Cupid.
Yes, that's what I am, a Cupid.
- Philip, you shouldn't...
- But it's true. I was a kind...
interval.
Curse.
Damn him,
and you, and all of us.
- Why couldn't you love me?
- You said it yourself, Philip,
by the devil inside me
and I can't exorcise it.
Philip.
Philip, I...
I will never forget him.
Clear.
Me neither.
Oh, Paula. What am I going to do?
What will become of me?
Philip, darling.
Return to New York. There you
You have friends, your life is there.
Of course, you're right, of course.
I will find the right girl, I will
get married and we will live happily ever after.
Where are my slippers?
Where is the other one?
Thanks.
Good,
I will come back to...
see her someday?
If you want, yes.
But I don't think we should.
No, we shouldn't.
What the hell am I doing?
Do you want to leave my things
at the reception, please?
Yes, I'll take them all.
Philip!
Philip!
Oh, Philip, try to understand!
I am too old!
Very old! Very old!
You can come in,
ladies and gentlemen.
Well, it wasn't that terrible.
Say it as if
had gone to the dentist.
Gaby!
- Gaby!
- Yes ma'am?
- I thought it would never arrive.
- Are you at home?
- No, madam.
- Do you want to draw me a bath?
What should I wear
tonight? Let's see...
- The black one with lace?
- No, it's too elegant for a cafe.
- This one?
- No, it's too much... And this one next door?
- This one?
- Yes, this one is good.
What a day!
The problem with decorators is that everyone
They think they know their job.
Nobody tells a plumber
how to fix a sink, but...
Gaby, the zipper!
No, it's okay, don't worry.
But start doing
a curtain and all...
Gaby, did you call?
No, madam.
Not too hot. Tomorrow we will have dinner at home.
Let's make you a good steak...
No, we ate this on Monday.
So, lamb chops.
I'll take care of this, Gaby.
Al ?
Ah, Roger, where are you?
Yes, if there is no choice...
Yes I understand.
What?
I will probably eat
something and go to bed.
All good.
Goodbye.
