Cecilia Page #2

---

And you'd want...

quite a few of them!

You're all excited!

What excites me

is the way you speak.

We'd better get back to

the dining room,

don't you think?

We've got to stick

to our timing.

So soon?

That's what I call

fast work!

Cecilia!

Cecilia!

I can explain!

Wait a minute, Cecilia!

You're a macho,

that's what you are.

You machos can do

anything you please.

It doesn't mean a thing,

right?

For Christ's sake,

let me explain!

Go ahead, explain.

Cecilia,

wait a second!

Listen to me.

Let me tell you.

Let me explain.

Cecilia,

open the door!

Come on!

Thanks.

Thank you

for the lesson.

I love you and I want you

more than ever!

Andre, it's funny,

but it feels like

my life began

- the day I met you!

- You mean that, darling?

- You love me?

- Very much!

You know, it's kind of

weird being in this house,

like being thrown

into the past.

Come on!

Let's go in

and join the others.

The house

is still beautiful!

Ah, so there you are!

We'd almost given up

on you,you know?

Nice to see you.

Thanks.

How are you?

So, you're still in love!

Some people

have all the luck!

I'm so glad to see you.

Oh, come on,

let's join the crowd.

May I present my niece.

She doesn't live in Paris,

but...

We've known each other

for a long time.

Of course.

What's the matter with me?

You owe me half a dance;

remember?

Yes, of course.

See you later.

They look good together,

don't they?

Yes, they do at that.

Ah, come one, Andre.

Why are you looking so sad?

Oh, she isn't lost,

you know.

He'll bring her

back to you.

Goon!

Enjoy yourself!

Let's enjoy ourselves too!

Come on; cheer up!

Somebody told me

that your first novel

was autobiographical.

Yes, one day,

I sat down and decided

to write a story

about my first abortion.

What do you call it?

'Neither Virgin,

Nor Martyr'.

Wow, that should sell!

That is one

hell of a title.

Come on,

don't be such a prig!

Will you come

and dance with me?

Oh, of course.

Cheer up, young man!

A beautiful flower

for a beautiful lady!

What's wrong?

Listen to me, Cecilia.

No!

I've wanted you

for years and years.

--listen to me!

-- For Christ's sake!

Will you leave me alone!

Cut it out!

They won't miss us,

Cecilia.

--let's get away.

-- You're crazy!

Stay here,

just a moment!

Come on,

let go of me!

Listen to the birds,

how happy they sound.

They do!

Listen,

so close to Paris --

and yet so far!

Oh, there you are!

Ah, bravo!

Oh, congratulations!

Oh, you were marvelous!

I was?

You're too modest;

I want to congratulate you.

If that's the way

you feel about it.

Oh, yes, you were sublime,

the way you held on to her.

-- Gave me a thrill.

-- What are you talking about?

Yes, you did, and I'll

have you know, my friend,

we both expected

no less from you.

What a wonderful display

of mastery!

Sheer mastery!

You were

too much for words!

Last week on television,

we lost the cup.

Ah, tragedy!

We would have kept it

if your horse

hadn't tripped.

Tough luck!

Oh, yes.

So, that's what

you're talking about.

We're going to love,

and want each other

more than ever.

Yes, you know

the way I feel.

You're not only my wife

and my mistress --

You're also --

my confidant.

Well, now --

Now, we can do anything

we want to!

Not quite.

We can't love

anybody else --

nor be infatuated.

The love we feel

for each other

must remain...

the greatest.

Of course, darling.

But then, we've

got to tell each other

everything --

everything we do.

Yes.

You know, I read

in a book a long time ago

about lovers

who came to an agreement.

They allowed themselves

total freedom

to make sure

that they'd stay faithful.

That's what we'll do.

Want to know

what happened next?

She killed him

with jealousy.

And you --

Would you

have done it too?

Of course!

I would have done

the same thing.

And you?

I don't know.

Maybe the same.

Who are your friends?

No idea!

I just met them.

I met them yesterday

at the riding club.

They're a strange couple.

I hope they're fun --

otherwise,

we throw them overboard.

The way i tlooks to me,

she can hardly wait

to get me into bed!

And he brings incestous ideas.

If it's that funny,

would you mind

letting me in on it?

Sure, why not.

That's what we do

for a living.

I used to be a pretty good

classical dancer, but --

when George finished school,

I whipped up this act here

we have together.

And can George

do this?

I don't get it.

He's my son.

I had him

when I was just fifteen.

How old

does that make him now?

Sixteen.

Is it true

you make love with him?

I'm a bit leery

what people say.

Yes.

I taught him on several occasions.

Who could have

taught him better than me?

And what does society

have to say about you?

No, that's precisely

why we moved here.

We earned

quite a bit of money

since we started

working together.

We just bought ourselves

a club in town.

Will you be

putting on your act there?

Of course!

I hope you'll

come to see me.

In fact,

we may come every evening.

It's hard to believe

you have a son!

You've got

marvelous breasts.

I'd like mine

to be as nice.

Don't be an idiot.

Your breasts are --

beautiful.

Unka!

Unka!

Unka!

Yes, ma'am.

My husband isn'there yet?

No, ma'am.

The telephone

isn't working.

I called to get it fixed.

Will you run me a bath?

Cecilia?

Andre, where are you?

I'm still downtown.

Yes, but where?

I'm at Madam M's place,

with three pretty girls

straight off the farm --

They're helping me forget

yesterday's inanities.

I want you.

So do I.

I'll tell you all about it

when we make love.

Will you belong?

It depends --

I'm smack

in the middle of things.

You're a pig.

I love you!

So do I.

Will you pour me another

glass of that crap?

Yes, sir.

You're not

from around here.

You must be Portuguese;

they're all over

the goddamn place.

Kan?

Come back.

Oh - come in, lady.

What can we do for you?

They're all family:

cousins.

Come on?

Would you mind

driving the car back?

I'd rather not.

I'm glad you came, ma'am.

You made us all very happy.

I'm happy too, Al.

How will you get home?

I don't mind

walking a bit --

don't mind.

Ma'am,

I wanted to tell you --

about my brother, Kan.

How should I tell you --

he loves you.

He shipped out

on a boat.

He was gone

a long while.

He wants to see you.

He told me...

Then why did he go away?

He's a proud man.

Goodbye,

I've got to run.

Hello, Kan.

Morning, ma'am.

If you want to go in

for a swim,

I'll take care

of your horse --

like I used to.

You can count on me.

From here on in,

I'll do whatever you say.

Kan, I'm so glad

that you're back.

Me too.

Who's there?

Sir!

Oh, sir!

What is it?

The missus' horse

comes back alone.

Do you know

what time she left?

No, sir.

She must have left

bright and early.

I didn't hear her leave.

Why did you come back?

You preyed on my mind.

You lived in me

like an obsession.

I had to come back
