A MAN I LIKE
Hello, please don’t cut me off. Everything is alright.
Yes.
Wait. Don’t hang up.
So? Not bad eh?
OK, so listen, I’ll send it to you tomorrow. Love you too.
So this is your place?
The most incestuous kiss of the century, Francoise.
Do you like Los Angeles?
Wait! I’ve only just arrived. Give me two or three days.
-You should have arrived tomorrow. -Yep.
You must have received my telegram.
Listen. Stop asking me stupid questions.
If I hadn’t, I wouldn’t be here! How’s your wife?
Oh, very well.
-Still not married then? -No, never married.
-And the little guy? -The little guy … is big!
-Are you happy with your film? -A bit commercial, but it’s OK.
You could have sent me the screenplay?
-I didn’t think you would come. -It’s that bad?
It’s a little commercial for you, I think.
What’s “for you” supposed to mean?
It’s a good film but…
How about your hotel, do you have a nice room?
Listen, I haven’t seen anything yet. I came straight to the set.
Tell me, why did you use a French actress?
The woman in it is French.
Oh, of course, I should have thought of that!
-How’s your English? -Well, you’ll see!
I have a surprise for you, a really good surprise.
Take down this number, it’s very important.
Take it down. Do you have a piece of paper?
Yes. Listen carefully.
OK, her name is Patricia.
-Patricia. -Yes. She really admires you.
Well, I won’t be making up the jet lag any time soon!
To your bedroom.
How do you say that?
Los Angeles, I love!
I adore girls who don’t wear bras.
I say...
I said, I love Hollywood.
-You begin the theme music here. -Hm. What’s the timing?
-Do you want a lot of instruments? -Oh yes, a lot.
Wouldn't it overemphasize it?
It has to emphasize it. It’s the punchline!
The husband is “out”.
You shouldn’t have made this movie. Your characters are of no interest.
They are rich, famous, they have nice cars,
they stay in grand hotels. They travel at the drop of a hat.
-Who cares about all that today? -But you're doing the music, right?
Yes, don’t worry about it. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here.
OK. We can look at it again. Can you lend me the chronometer?
-I`m stopping there. -Do you like it?
Well, we`ll hear it. I think it`s OK.
OK, I’ll turn it full on so we can hear it.
-Are there too many violins? -No, I like violins.
You’re right. It’s a screenplay that calls for violins. OK, let’s go!
So I’ve got two more days here in Los Angeles,
and then we’re going to New York, for a week I think.
It’s a drag because I have a week off...
...so I think I’ll stay here, it’s easier.
OK. So did you read Jacques’ screenplay?
It’s bad? Well OK, then.
What am I going to do?
Yes, well you are really annoying.
Can`t get a word in edgeways with you, my love.
What did you do with your Sunday? Oh, did you go to the movies?
You went to the country? Good. Did you go skating?
You know that I have you here with me?
Well yes, because I have your photo here.
Yes, it’s here with me. You know what`s funny,
you’re just going to bed and your mom is just getting up!
You don’t get it! Ask your father.
Jet lag. Wait. Give me your dad back.
I wanted to say, about Jacques, don’t say anything to him.
I don`t know, I`ll… look at it when I get back.
How’s your movie going? It’s going well?
Well, that’s one good thing! OK, good. I wanted to ask you...
She`s going to ask you… Explain jet lag to her.
OK, you don’t understand it, either! What a family! How lucky I am!
Hello.
Good morning, my love! No, I’m not asleep, I’m awake.
There’s even some beautiful sunshine in my room.
Say, what time is it? 4 o’clock! Oh yes, 4 o’clock in Rome!
So, your day is just about over. What have you been doing?
I hope you have been a good girl. I’ve been roped into something today.
I have to go out on a boat. A “fishing party”, as they say.
Yes it`s Peza`s boat and I have to go to please Peter.
You called last night? But, I was here!
Yes, I didn’t leave the hotel. Well, tomorrow I’m recording.
That way, I will have finished in three days at the most.
That’s right. I love you. Hugs and kisses. ‘Bye.
You’re even more beautiful in the morning.
A, B, C, D,
E, F, G, H,
I, J, K, L,
M, N, O, P,
Q, R, S, T,
U, V, W,
X, Y, Z!
-Do you still have much to do? -I don’t know but I’m so bored!
You’re not the only one.
Just now, what were all those faces you were making?
I wasn’t making faces, it’s the sign language alphabet.
-Oh I see. Can`t you speak? -No, I had a role as a deaf-mute.
-Oh! I see. -I`ve played blind people, lame...
-You have a varied repertoire! -Well, you have to.
The island is awful, isn`t it?
-Let's hope we get back by Monday. -Oh, I hope so.
I`ve had enough of having this fishing rod in my hand.
-I don`t know where to put it. -Drop it! Accidentally…
Well, that`s how it`s going to finish up because….
I`ve had it in my hands since this morning.
-Goodbye. Thanks a lot. -Have a good evening!
-What time tomorrow? -8 o’clock.
But you have to be in make-up at 7.
I’ll be there!
-‘Bye! -‘Bye!
-Marvellous fishing party! -Oh yes.
Shall we have a drink? A little whisky?
No thanks, I have to get up early.
-You’re lucky! -You should have learned music!
So I should! Well, since you’re going to the bar. Good night.
Say, are you sure you don’t want to come and have a drink…with me in….
Yes.
Hello. We spent the day together this afternoon.
But we weren’t really together.
No, there are just times like this in life when you feel the need to talk.
At this time of night?
Yes, it happens to me at least once a year.
Well if it’s that important, it must be serious.
No, but really, I wanted to say - don’t you think that elevator doors
-close too quickly in America? -My thoughts exactly.
But I’m calling you for something a little more serious.
I wanted to let you know that there is a fire in the hotel.
Don’t panic! For the moment, it’s only in the bar.
Yes, it’s the bar that’s burning. Yes, the bar is completely on fire.
Really – that’s terrible!
Yes, I see that the barman has just been burned up – ops!
There’s just a little pile of ash on the floor.
I went over to look at some guys playing pool…
All that`s there is an enormous inferno.
It’s horrible to see all this…
Let`s see, there were two lovely young women.
Poor things, there’s nothing left of them, just two little torches.
Charming little torches, but torches all the same.
Oh, here come the firemen.
Three firemen, one with a white helmet.
Really strong guys – they’re trying to put it out, but they can't.
Say, I really think you should come down,
because it’s burning up more and more.
You don’t believe me? Can’t you hear the people yelling?
Sir, really I can’t, I’m not allowed to.
You’re French! Listen, ten dollars and you yell out “fire”.
Au feu! Au feu! Au feu!
You think someone could make up this kind of panic?
Can you hear it? So come on down.
Hurry up, it’s beginning to burn all around me.
I’m going to be obliged to move over to the right a little bit,
so come on down, because it’s really in your best interest.
-Did you see the film “The Hustler”? -Oh yes, I saw “The Hustler”.
Now, that you’re here, I don’t know what to say to you.
We’re not obliged to talk!
-What’s up? -It’s 6 o ‘clock.
-Did you sleep well? -Yes, thank you.
What's that?
Lucky he doesn’t have 10 kids!
Oh, I don`t like tea.
Yes, but it’s what`s best here – the coffee is dreadful….
-Here, would you like my breakfast? -Thank you.
I have to go to make-up. I’m in a hurry.
-What’s up? -Nothing.
-Is it any good? -It's light!
-I couldn't have predicted that… -Well, even for one, it’s light.
Oh dear!
-What are you saying? -I`m just saying …
The make-up artist will need a lot of talent this morning.
-How long have you been here? -A couple of weeks.
I came when you were doing the sequence with your brother.
-The whole kiss thing. -The suction cup!
Don`t you remember? I told you that I had seen all your films.
It`s not true though, I haven`t seen them all.
-Are you happy with this movie? -It’s OK.
Are you happy with your music?
Yes, It’s a little heavy on the violins, but the melody isn’t bad.
Do you have the main part in the movie?
No, I’m not the star. The star is Bedart.
But I’m well placed, right after him.
So you’re not the big star then!
Usually actresses like to have the principal role.
You`re really annoying! You’re a musician and not an actor,
you don’t understand anything.
No, but I have to watch the orchestra leader.
Look after your scales.
Say, it’s not bad having the studio right across from the hotel.
-I didn’t leave you much. -That’s OK, I have to go, I’m late.
I’ll be going, too. I’ll go and see if I have any messages,
then go back to sleep a while longer. I don’t start working ‘til 10.
We know!
Right, I’m late. I’m off to the studio. ‘Bye.
Have a good day!
Stay calm and I’ll explain it to you. Can I talk now? That’s it? Good!
I wasn’t in my room because I was recording all night.
Because of that, I’ve finished my work
and I can take the plane tomorrow.
I’ll take the plane tomorrow at 11 o’clock.
I don’t know what time it arrives. I don't understand time difference.
Just phone them and they’ll explain it to you.
Listen, please don’t start to get all excited again.
I swear that I’m thinking about you my love.
Here in America, you can really think about your wife.
I’ve never thought about you so often.
Then, yesterday, I thought about you a little more than usual,
and last night I was really extravagant,
butterfly-shaped extravagant. Oh, I didn’t buy a butterfly.
I bought a piece of jewellery in the shape of a butterfly.
It’s very pretty and on its wings, there’s a bunch of diamonds…
-I understand a little, sir. -Well, I have a problem.
I need a piece of jewellery, butterfly-shaped.
Hi Peter. Listen, I`m going to the filming to record the separation.
Where will you be this afternoon?
-Very good. -Henri...
Patricia is very sad that you’re leaving.
It`s completely insane how much people pay to visit the studios.
Do you know how many come here in a year? About a million.
That must bring in more than the movies themselves.
Sure thing.
-Are you often at the movie shoot? -No.
Generally, we do the music before or after.
But Peter wanted it to be part of the shoot.
-You get on well with him? -We never agree!
He’s completely crazy. But I’m even crazier than he is, so…
You certainly are. Have you known each other long?
-Oh, when you speak of the devil... -Yes, here he is.
Two years. We did a movie together in Rome.
Yes, perhaps you saw it? It's called “Is there someone in Italy”.
Completely stupid!
We spent the evening together and anyway, did you know
that Las Vegas is only 45 minutes away from Los Angeles…?
No, let`s stay here.
But can I at least buy you a drink?
-That you can. -A little coke?
Here you are!
Do you know that Las Vegas is still 45 minutes from Los Angeles? Ah!
It seems that Las Vegas is only 45 minutes from Los Angeles.
-Hello! -Good evening.
I was just telling a woman I don’t know
that Las Vegas is 45 minutes away from Los Angeles.
Oh you can’t, you have a French friend
who arrived in Los Angeles. OK, then.
Yes, yes, I’m still leaving tomorrow morning.
Well listen, have a good evening with your French friend.
Talking about evenings, I wanted to tell you
that your muse was very good. It pleased me a lot.
Well, listen, if by chance you’re ever passing through Rome,
I would be delighted to see an old French friend again.
Well, get a paper and pencil, I’ll give you my phone number.
Alright, I’m ready. 453…453. Thank you.
I promise you that if I'm ever in Rome, I’ll call you.
-Hugs and kisses. -You too.
-How long are you playing? -One month…longer.
-Is the public happy? -They`re laughing.
-Which language are you doing it in? -In English. You too?
Yes, they’re forcing me.
What would you like to eat?
I don’t know, whatever you like, I’m easy.
Please excuse me, I have to make a phone call.
It’s me. Yes, I’ve managed to get free.
So I’ll wait for you down here.
-I’m sorry, we can’t have dinner. -Nothing serious, I hope.
Oh no, it’s not serious.
Hello Patricia….
This is for lip service only. Rubber...
Oh!
-Why did you call me back? -No, you called me back.
-It was you who called me back. -OK, if we go back to the beginning.
-You’re some kind of liar! -Oh yes.
But that`s what I prefer. That way I know what I`m getting into.
-And you, you don’t tell lies. -No.
But you change your mind at the drop of a hat.
-Do you like Las Vegas? -No, it’s old-fashioned.
Too many feathers.
-Why did we come here? -To make love!
-We could've stayed in Los Angeles. -Oh, you poor bourgeoise!
You’re not often serious.
I can be serious for a whole evening.
And you’ll see, from now on, I’ll say important things.
It's starting.
There’s going to be trapeze artists…
No, but…let it go. I think this is what`s important..
I`m sorry about the dress, but it was for meant for going out.
How come we didn`t see each other before?
I don`t know. Where were you? I was there.
-Me too, but we didn't meet. -You weren`t there!
You don`t think so? Look at that dangerous jump!
-So we lost quite a bit, didn`t we? -Unlucky at gambling, lucky in love!
-Not very original! -But it`s confirmed every time!
-You sure change your mind fast! -Are you sorry?
-No… not yet! -OK.
You`ve seen Las Vegas and the Needham.
Would you have preferred San Francisco?
No, I like it well enough. It`s an ideal place
for the end of a love affair. Which, in any case, hasn`t started yet.
You were supposed to tell me important things.
-I`m not always on form. -You can`t invent a fire every day.
No, too costly!
You’re a woman who`s always afraid.
I saw you in the plane, you were afraid.
In the taxi, you were afraid.
And now, coming back here, you were afraid.
-You don`t like that? -I do. It's very feminine.
There`s a saucy brunette over there!
-Where? -Over on the right.
Look, watch out, oops she`s gone over to the left.
You know when I go to the ballet, I always choose one dancer
and I only watch her. I don`t see anything else, just her.
That`s great! And when you`re with your wife, what does she say?
-I don`t tell her. -Obviously, that’s easy!
And yet you tell me everything. That`s OK, because I like you.
-Oh! -I like you a lot.
Ah…
You know, the other evening… Well me too, I liked it a lot.
Watch out, the little brunette is going over to the right. There.
If I raped you, would you call for help?
If you couldn`t manage it by yourself!
Tell me, between your little dancers and your starlets,
where would you put me?
Shall we start?
It’s plentiful today, even for two!
-What’s up? -Nothing.
I’m thinking about all we did last night,
when you see the bed in the mirror.
This isn’t cooked enough.
-When do we arrive in Los Angeles? -10 o’clock.
- And your plane leaves? -At 11.
That’s tight! What about your luggage?
The hotel will take care of it and take it straight to the airport.
-Are you winning? -No.
-I’m ready. -Let’s go.
-Did you forget anything? -Oh, I didn’t have much.
-What are you reading? -Something that looks like the moon.
What is it?
Lake Powell, the world's largest lake.
Come on. The taxi is waiting.
-You seem bored. -No.
-Yes, you do. -Well OK, I am bored.
Would you have preferred that we said goodbye in Las Vegas?
It'd perhaps have been easier than saying goodbye tomorrow morning.
But we wouldn’t have seen all this.
I thought I had understood that you didn`t love him any longer.
It’s not all that easy…. And Patricia?
I’m not hanging up, Madam.
Hello. I can’t hear you very well.
No, I’m not hearing you well. Yes, it’s OK.
No, I’m not in Los Angeles, I’m in Arizona. Yes, in Arizona!
What did you tell him?
I told him, I suddenly had the desire to travel.
I don’t like love affairs that begin with lies.
Do you often seduce guys?
Each time that I meet a man I like. But it’s very rare.
-It’s not going to be easy. -That would be too easy.
Now it’s my turn. No, stay here.
Hello. Yes, I can hear you very well.
Did you receive my telegram? No, because I didn’t want you
to go to the airport for nothing.
No, there’s been a bit of a problem and I have to re-record something.
But finally I’ll leave tomorrow. Yes, the same timetable as yesterday.
What do you mean my voice sounds strange?
No, I’m recording here. What’s the weather like?
I don’t know, listen, I’m shut in here.
But yes, this morning it was nice out.
You were wrong not to stay to the end.
I told a lie that will let me stay 4 more days with you.
So now, I can accompany you to New York.
I also phoned Los Angeles and our bags will be forwarded.
Well, he understands well! Tell me…
-It’s your fault. -It’s my fault? No it’s not.
You see, imagine this in Paris.
Instead of their ridiculous “Son et Lumière”, it’s terrific.
-Yes, it could be fun. -Yes, it could!
So, the whole history of France in the streets.
Yes. So you see, you’d take Place de la Concorde
and you’d cut off Louis XVI’s head every hour.
-And Marie-Antoinette’s? -That one, every two hours.
-Why? Playing favourites? -It’s a rolling schedule.
-With rolling of drums. -No, with a rolling of heads.
It would be good to have the storming of the Bastille day at 4 p.m.
-That would be very good. -Oh, he did it!
It would be reserved for...
I could perhaps continue.
Versailles would be reserved for 18 year olds and up, for instance.
A special show! Come on, let’s go
and see the “Gun Shop” as they say here.
-You know, we’re quite charming. -You look like Marie-Antoinette.
-How will you get it through customs? -Look! Like this!
-What about the customs guy? -I’ll give it to him for his kids.
-And if he doesn’t have any kids? -At Italian customs, all have kids.
You’re so insincere!
-But what is he saying? -I can’t understand anything.
But what is he saying? Oh, I see.
You know I’ve been watching you since Tucson.
And what conclusion have you reached?
None of your business.
You really don’t look Italian.
Of course not, since I’m French.
-Have you lived there long? -Ten years or so.
Obviously your wife is the Italian type.
Roman. Listen, look at the map, I have a feeling that we’re lost.
You know, me and maps… It’s the surest way to get lost!
Is it the first time that you‘ve worked in America?
Yes.
-Do you like it? -It pays well.
How come they called you?
Because I did a fake western musical score for a fake western.
-Oh, I see. -And they liked it a lot here.
How do you do a fake western musical score?
Oh, it’s a question of the orchestration.
You need a lot of instruments. You need horns...
...violins...
...kettledrums...
...and you need as much percussion as possible, a lot of percussion.
And what else can you throw in? A flute...
And there you are!
-And once you’ve got all that? -The Indians only need to attack!
My jacket, please.
The other one.
-Why do you have an Italian passport? -It’s useful.
Do you have a right to it?
Oh, you are… incredible, you’re completely immoral.
I knew you were a liar and a cheat, but not to this degree!
And why do you lie all the time?
Because there is nothing more beautiful than a lie.
And when one lie is constructed on top of a whole lot of other lies,
then it becomes as impressive as the pyramids.
-He has quite a physique! -Yes.
-He’s looking strangely at my wheel. -No, at the gas cap.
He’s not looking at the gas cap, he’s looking at the wheels.
-Oh, he’s got an evil eye! -He sure does.
But what’s his problem with that wheel?
I don’t know if he’s mad at the wheel or mad at me.
Or else he’s thinking…
Dangerous?
-He wants to change my tires. -Oh, I see. What a strange idea!
Oh well, we'll get something to eat. Tell him we’ll be right back.
It would be good to pass through New Orleans
now that we have new tires.
We can do a detour to Monument Valley.
Yes, but I have to be in New York on Monday to work!
Well, if we’re running late, we can always take a plane.
I didn’t know that you wanted to be a tourist.
Me neither!
-Will they think you’re in Rome? -Will they think you’re in Paris?
-Oh well, now I’m a liar. -Well, I’m not a liar.
-Oh, a coward too. -Yep, a coward too.
-Do you have any change? -Perhaps, I don’t know.
Oh no, listen, that’s money.
He would be delighted! Perhaps if he wore a wig?
Even better!
It’s the same from the back!
You’d think it was his friend.
-Always the same, the front and back. -I don’t have any change.
-Who’s that fat guy there? -It could be Louis XVI.
Tell him anything….Corneille. In any case… Corneille.
-And this one - who is it? -Oh listen, he’s going too far!
Listen, take it all.
I’m not giving him any French coins, he’ll start asking me again…
“They paid for their curiosity with their lives since the Indians,
who had warned them to stay out of their territory,
massacred the two white men without pity
when they went in there regardless. It was only in 1906, not long ago,
that two ‘palefaces’ established themselves in Monument Valley…”
Throw the map away.
We’ll discover things for ourselves. Did pioneers have maps?
They didn’t have maps, so now we don’t have a map!
There! So, you think of yourself as a pioneer!
I don’t think of myself as one, I am one!
The pioneer’s wife has to work in New York on Monday.
Sure, but your little pioneer has thought of everything.
It’s OK to not have a map, but we shouldn’t go far from the main route.
-You’re such a bourgeoise! -That’s all you think of!
First of all, what makes me a bourgeoise?
What is a bourgeoise?
A woman who’s afraid to show herself naked.
All right then!
You see – you’re worse than a bourgeoise because,
even naked, you keep your hands over your breasts.
-It’s just an excuse to sunbathe. -You have to admit it’s original.
Is the sun hot?
-You should do the same thing. -OK, I’ll do it!
-Yes, but right away. -Oh yes, of course, right away.
You have to be agile, don’t you! There we are!
See, now I don’t have my hands over my breasts.
I’m totally exposed, I’m sun bathing.
It’s much better, it’s healthy.
OK, I think I’m going to stop because I’m getting some ideas!
I can’t tell you how happy I am.
I’m getting more and more afraid. How happy I am!
-What are we going to do? -It’s always the same.
People meet 10 years too early or 10 years too late.
Oh listen, this movie is really stupid – let’s go.
-Shall we go? -Let’s go. Really. Let’s go!
Right away!
-Right away or right now? -Immediately.
-Do you realize this is our 5th bed? -Tell me, where are the cigars?
In the small suitcase.
No, it’s our 4th bed.
No, you’re right, it’s the 5th. You forgot the car.
The car!
Your daughter is really cute. Your husband too, by the way.
-How old is your son? -10.
-Do you see him often? -Once a month.
I try and see him more often, but it isn’t easy.
So why did you leave your first wife, then?
Because of the second one.
-So, Rome is the second, then. -Yes, that’s right. She’s the second.
Oh, we need a little map. The little pioneer is having trouble?
Yes, the little pioneer is having trouble.
That happens! The little pioneer can't know everything.
-Do you like America? -No.
-Speak up. -Yes.
Yes, but you just said no.
Yes but… I just remembered that it was here that I met you.
You always land on your feet, don’t you!
-No, seriously, do you like it? -I like it well enough.
Because they like me here and I like places where they like me.
-Shall we go? -Yes.
-Is it a good idea? -Very good.
-It was muggy today, wasn’t it? -Yes. So let’s go.
-Hey, you swim pretty well. -Yes, you see.
If we had met in France, we wouldn’t have known all this.
You’re right, there aren’t as many swimming pools.
Idiot!
-Happy man! -I hope so.
What would he say if you told him everything all at once?
Since he`s unreasonable, he would take some pride in it.
-How did you meet him? -Buying my car.
-What does he do? -He sells cars!
-Oh, how stupid of me! -Ah, yes.
-Have you cheated on him often? -Is it important?
-Yes, it is. -Twice.
Does he know? How do you manage it?
I get caught every time!
That’s because you know how to lie, but not how to make up a story.
-Why did you lie to those people? -I want to be alone with you.
-This OK? -Yes.
Who did you do it with for your first time?
With a chief operator.
I have never been so well photographed.
Because you’re so difficult to photograph?
-Is your wife pretty? -Not bad.
-What does she do? -She doesn’t have a job.
-Where did you meet her? -Just like that.
By chance, at a friend’s house, while she was not on the job.
-Could you leave her? -I don’t know.
You know, I often leave her for my work.
I’m nearly always glad to get back to her…
And what if tomorrow morning I were to ask you to live with me?
You can ask me that tomorrow morning.
-Another little whisky? -A little whisky.
You have to be really sick to go swimming at this hour. Come on.
I would never have made this trip on my own.
He knows it only too well. I hate planes, cars…
-What did you tell him? -Everything.
-You shouldn’t have! -Oh really!
You don’t tell someone that kind of thing on the phone.
-What do you plan to do? -Get to New York very quickly
and above all finish this film very quickly.
You shouldn’t have!
I thought that it would make you happy.
Don’t you want to wait until tomorrow?
No, it will be even more difficult tomorrow.
-I’ll take care of the tickets. -Be nice – one ticket.
-Those glasses really suit you. -They’re awful.
No, they’re not. You should wear them more often.
You‘re crazy!
No, it gives you a different look that I really like.
What time do we get to New Orleans?
Can see the bridge, must be just one more little hour.
Tell me, what time is your plane to Rome tomorrow?
We’ll be in New York about 3 o’clock. There must be a plane around 5.
Hello, St. Regis Hotel?
Good morning.
-Good morning. -Hello.
-Where are you? -In New York.
-What hotel? -No, I’m in transit at Kennedy.
Oh that’s right. I had forgotten. Are you OK?
-Hello? -Are you OK?
-How about you? -I’m happy that you called.
-When do you start? -Tomorrow morning.
You know, I’ve come up with a solution.
You have?
-When do you finish? -In a week.
OK then, listen. We could meet up in 10 days, on the 27th.
We could see each other at the airport in Nice.
You'd have time to tell your husband
that you’re going to live with another man.
And I’d tell my wife that I’m leaving her.
I’ve never asked you for anything. Are you sure?
Hello, I can’t hear you. Hello.
I’ve never asked you for anything. Are you sure?
What about you, are you sure?
Can you tell me the meeting place again?
The 27th in Nice. I’ll be on the first plane from Rome.
Why Nice?
Because it’s half-way between Paris and Rome.
-Anything to declare? -Nothing.
-Open your suitcase, please. -Yes, OK.
What’s that?
That’s a little butterfly, a souvenir for my wife.
Good. Very good.
-Can I close it? -Yes.
There you are. Thank you.
OK. Sir, just a moment, please open your jacket.
-Open my jacket? -Open your jacket.
-What’s this? -It’s a Colt.
Yes, I know it is. It is for you?
-No, it’s for your children. -I don’t have any children. Come on!
-But they must have children. -Do you have children?
Come on, sir, come this way, please.
What a dumb idea to bring a Colt back!
-Well, it’s a collector’s piece. -You’re lucky they didn’t keep you.
You’re very beautiful.
You’ve got something you need to be forgiven for.
In any case, American women are not your type.
-What is my type? -Italian women.
All right, listen, let’s get to the serious stuff – the butterfly.
You see, I wasn’t lying. There are diamonds on the wings.
You don’t seem to like butterflies much.
You still drive just as badly. It’s not getting any better.
You have to put the signal on when you pull out.
You know you’d cause a sensation in America with your driving.
Watch out, because there’s one coming up on your left.
-I nearly came to New York. -You wouldn’t have seen him.
It was you I wanted to see.
I’m glad to be back in Paris.
I don’t love you anymore.
-Martine? -Martine is fine.
They all rewrote the screen play, it’s much better now.
He would like you to call him.
-When do you have to go back? -I don’t know. In two months.
I brought you back the razor you asked me for.
The latest model?
I don’t know – I think so.
-Which way do you want to go? -What do you mean?
-Through the centre? -Yes, if you like.
Suzanne wants to leave us.
I asked her to wait until you got back.
-Is she crazy? What’s got into her? -No, she’s not crazy at all.
She doesn’t want to work anymore. She wants to be free.
That’s typical of her.
What was the weather like in New York?
Nice.
What are we going to do?
Whatever you like.
