- No

15, 16...

I'm afraid your photographer went

through all this trouble for nothing.

What about the

photographer, himself?

I might not say no to him!

- No really?

- You seem hesitant.

No... that's not it...

You don't want me

to be happy?

- Yes I do!

- Let's continue...

17... 18

19...

That's my friend, Nikias.

Even if you like him,

you can't have him.

- I don't think anyone can.

- Pity.

When I try to imagine

you with a man,

it's always a

different man...

and each time,

I can't bear it.

With Pierre... it's dreadful.

I should never have

let you love me.

I would've loved

you anyway.

Maybe some I love,

it will be different.

For me and for you.

- I will persuade him.

- Lucas?

Of course not, Nikias.

You said, "With someone

you love..."

I don't love Lucas.

Not anymore.

It's as if I never loved him.

Can I invite Nikias here?

But what you said to me,

he might not accept.

I can try.

- It's important to her, Nikias.

- I don't know her.

And it's also important to me.

You did hear me.

Yes, but, I'm only asking

you to come and see her.

We invited some friends and

you could bring some too!

You said you like me,

prove it then.

You'll regret it.

Yes...

Agreed.

- Are you crazy?

- Yes, I'm crazy.

You're crazy, Bilitis

I know. People are

always saying that.

Look...

- Perhaps these?

- No.

Perhaps these? For you.

- For me?

- Perhaps...

Very well... these are for me!

And these are perfect for you.

I know how to do your hair.

It's ridiculous asking all these

friends at the last moment.

Why? We invite them,

they accepted.

Nikias will probably bring

some people over too.

We could've postponed

it to tomorrow.

It's too far away, Melissa...

I couldn't wait that long.

I thought this

was for me.

It is for you

I want you to be beautiful.

Absolutely beautiful.

If I was Pierre,

I know what I'd do...

with the riding school

Pierre is not here?

In Monte Carlo,

for the game.

Melissa is adorable.

The champagne is delicious.

But what are we doing here?

Isn't she beautiful?

I've bathed, dressed,

and fixed her hair.

If I could love her...

I'd have to get

rid of you first.

On which manner?

Kill you.

Can I show you the park?

Can I throw everyone

here out?

You know why you're here?

Hasn't Bilitis told you that

I'm never somewhere entirely?

Bilitis always exaggerates.

Bilitis doesn't know

what to expect of me.

She thinks she knows.

That's different.

When I arrived,

you were dancing.

I was all alone.

And are you now?

Who is to decide? You? Me?

Nobody can decide about that.

No, it's not possible.

And you know it, and I also.

That's true... and not true.

Come!

Pity about Nikias...

You know...

He doesn't belong with us.

In fact he belongs to nobody.

You look so alone

and far away

Melissa, embrace me.

You were to

find me a man!

Come dance with me.

Suppose I asked you

to come to my room.

That's foolish. I know you...

And I know myself.

Not him.

No.

It's true...

I would've had...

Do something, Nikias...

- It's you.

- That's what you want

I didn't invite you

I thought it was an oversight.

Don't worry about it.

Bilitis was hoping you'd come.

Thank you.

Do you still hesitate?

Go on!

Come...

I know.

We already met each other

I told you, "It could be

someone I love."

Let's go

Melissa...

Ah... it's you, Nanny.

What's happening here?

What are you thinking about?

Who are you thinking about?

Have you noticed?

She laughs...

She laughs... when she

trusts you.

Yes...
