You understand?
Anything you want.
THE WOMAN WITH PIERCED NIPPLES
CLOSED
OPEN
- It was OK? - Sorry
I'm used to it.
Come to think of it,
did you find it?
My wallet?
No. Your lost love.
How is she?
Are you busy?
Irokawa Clinic
Thanks.
Goodbye.
Next.
The chart, doctor.
You're here for a piercing?
Stay clothed.
It's for a piercing?
Yes, my breasts.
To be exact, on my nipples.
Anesthetic.
This is all for the same woman?
Number 8 needle.
The rings.
Who is it?
I rent the third floor.
- There are still roses tonight. - Thanks.
I bother you every day.
Good evening.
Aïe !
Come here.
Come into the cage.
- Hello. - You're late.
What's this? Roses?
I had too many.
- You want to cut them a bit? - Yes.
That's too bad.
- OK, let's go. - Thanks.
Mettez ça. **
Hello. Irokawa Clinic.
Yes, it's me.
Mr. Gondo?
The roses...
I see.
What's with you?
You're not well?
They came to get me.
- The ambulance? - That's it!
You found your wallet?
Better than that!
Bitch!
I'd like to invite you somewhere.
Do you have time tonight?
But...
It doesn't matter where I saw you.
Love can blossom
in any conditions.
A chocolate?
Corks
I want to get out.
Why?
It's impossible on the highway.
It's important.
Behave yourself, miss.
Please. I need to go to the bathroom.
What are you doing?
Let me go!
No!
Stop!
No!
Not there!
No!
A delivery for you.
Good bye.
I knew you'd come.
I'd like an explanation.
Excuse me?
Tonight, I'd like to give you a proper invitation.
I couldn't the other day.
It's OK at my place?
But...
Or would you prefer a public restroom?
You have a lot of bottles.
I collect fine wines.
- You do archery? - It's my favourite sport.
You have animals?
Yes, I have a cat.
And you tie it up?
I love cats.
They're very gentle animals.
Where is she?
Somewhere where she wants to be.
I understand.
Your ex-wife took it with her.
Perhaps...
No, let go.
This mess is here on purpose.
Why?
Women are afraid of beds
which seem ready to be used.
Say...
Make love to me the regular way.
- I'll come by and get you.
Please get in.
What's wrong?
I'll call a doctor.
No need.
Why?
I can't get any better.
I prefer to stay here..
I'm very sick.
I know.
Take at least an aspirin.
I'll go buy some.
No.
You don't want any?
I don't want any aspirin.
Give me some roses instead.
If that's what you want.
I called the clinic
to let them know you can't make it.
You, you're going to be late.
The light outside doesn't bother you?
To help you.
I bought you this mask.
Good idea.
Let me put it on you.
I'm entirely at your service.
I'm your humble servant.
Even if I give you orders?
I'll obey every order you give me,
miss.
Then, don't go into the office today.
The office?
Where is your office?
Downtown.
Near the Assembly?
What kind of work do you do?
Do you know
What kind of work do you do?
What are you talking about?
No...
That's not you.
Stop reading.
You're not cured yet.
Don't worry about it.
I'm completely better. - No.
- Not completely - Let me read!
You are ....
- There. - You're bad.
But I was bored.
In that case...
And now?
You're bad!
Take care.
Screw me.
A wine shower!
You threw out my glass?
Come!
Hurry up!
My dear.
It pulls out easily.
Try it.
But I could run away from here.
That would be find with me.
It's going to be expensive to feed you.
I'll try something
Sorry!
I'm clumsy.
You didn't listen to me.
I hate it when it hurts me.
Two hundred roses?
To take with you?
Or for delivery?
Delivery.
But her address has changed
The woman is at your home?
Who is it?
I'm bringing your roses.
You're in there?
Open the door!
I'm bringing your roses.
Open up!
Thanks.
Bonjour !
Ça pique.
You've taken on the color of the wine.
My dear...
- You liked that last bottle? - An excellent year!
I'll win the next golf tournament.
Oh really?
One has to try.
You're right.
I shoot well on the green.
But daily practice
isn't my strong point.
I'm no longer good at distances.
So, I've changed caddies.
At our age, we lost vitality.
That's true.
There's no need to go chasing butterflies.
But your getting the ball in the holes - that's better.
May I take off this dress now?
Stay dressed.
Let me look at you.
But I'm tired.
No!
Eat.
I don't have any more eggs.
But...
Sorry.
I'm not being polite to you.
All done, miss.
Take a look at yourself in the mirror
in the bathroom.
It's not true! You're a pro.
Get on your knees.
I want to piss.
Okay, aim well.
I won't have the time to fix my make-up.
Guide me with your hands.
Hold close to me.
There are stairs.
Who are we meeting?
You'll see.
Now.
Look.
Surprise!
Satsukiça
Noriko!
- How nice to see you! - For me as well!
You are beautiful as always
How stylish!
It was delicious.
You ate well?
Please excuse me.
I'll pay.
What has gotten into you?
Stop crying.
What's wrong with you then?
You don't have to tell me.
What did I say to you?
Repeat it.
"I want to piss."
Go down alone.
End of Mr. Nice Guy.
Bastard.
I'm going out for a moment.
I'll leave you alone.
Take care.
Stay.
If you want,
you can leave.
Take advantage of my absence
to leave.
Bravo!
To you.
Fine, until this evening.
Right.
Tonight,
we're going to a club.
Okay?
You come here often? - Yes, often.
What is it?
Mr. Gondo, you have no more bottles left.
Déjà ?
I didn't pay attention.
I'll have to restock the cellar.
Is there a bathroom down there?
No, it's our cellar.
You heard me?
The customers are always wrong.
This bar has a great wine steward.
He takes care of our bottles.
They are brought to us by our customers themselves.
There are only fine wines here.
Each customer brings one or two bottles.
And we keep them for years.
There
and now...
fetch me my bottle.
You're getting it?
- This is the second bottle? - Perhaps.
I'm not sure.
In any case, it's a fine wine.
We can't see anything.
There's no light.
How will you find your bottle?
Stay with me.
Look at the ceiling.
What is it?
It's the sky.
That is Neptune.
He is the God of Wine.
Subconscious and dualistic.
That's the star that affects human instincts.
It seems like a summer festival.
It reminds me of my childhood.
I saw something.
Turn on the light.
I want some light!
You want to see?
You understand?
No!
I don't want to...
Here...
No!
You'll like this cage.
Look.
Look at me.
No!
I don't want to look.
I can always leave.
But I know that you will come back.
You will come back.
I'm sure.
Don't stop
Keep on!
Faster!
I'm waiting!
Watch closely.
We'll serve you.
Stop
I don't want to die.
Untie me!
I had a good time with you.
No!
Don't leave me.
Love me again!
In my opinion,
the piercing would have looked better in your ears.
We're waiting for you, miss.
Put me in your cellar.
I want to become your bottle.
