Coco Chanel Page #6

---

You can live with me

and help me with the shop.

It would be a change of scene for you.

How is this?

What do you think of this?

Hello! Good to see you! Welcome!

Oh, good evening Monsieur Capel!

It's such a pleasure to see you again.

Thank you. Please.

I can't believe you

did all this for me.

Let's hope it goes well.

Risk... is what life is all about.

Oh, excuse me.

Coco!

Oh, Elise! I'm so glad you've come.

Look! I wore your hat!

I want to try one on.

Yes, please, come in.

What do you think?

This is amazing.

Isn't it?

Coco... Really.

How have you been?

I'm so proud of you.

Thank you.

Go ahead just have a look at those.

Well, it could be perfect for

my character in Bel Ami.

Yes, it's true.

I don't know if Doucet would approve...

Doucet? The Doucet?

The most important dressmaker in Paris,

besides Poiret, of course.

He designs her clothes.

Can you show him my hats?

Well... I don't know, it's not that easy,

but... we can try.

Oh, oh, thank you. Marvellous!

Ladies, a toast to us!

Coco?

I'm so excited.

Yes? Excuse me.

Do you know Mademoiselle Chanel?

Should I?

No. I've not had

the pleasure of meeting you yet.

If that's considered a pleasure...

Excuse me.

Your friend is very rude.

Only when provoked.

It was absolutely marvellous.

Thank you for coming.

Thank you.

Bye. Good luck.

Bye. Thank you.

Coco?

Yes?

Let me introduce you to

Lord and Lady Windham.

Hello.

Congratulations. Your hats are marvellous.

Thank you.

Yes, in fact, Diana's asked me to buy her one.

Well, if I can be of any assistance...

Oh yes.

Um, I would like to try this one...

please.

I'll go get it for you.

Thank you.

See you later, darling.

Of course.

Oh, it's so good to see you here, Diana.

I didn't know you

were a friend of Boy's...

Oh, not really a friend.

His father is my godfather.

Ah. And... Mademoiselle Chanel,

do you know her?

I've just met her.

Balsan handed her over to

Capel when he tired of her.

Who do you think pays for all of this?

Well...

she seems like a charming woman.

And I think she's very attractive.

She's just a little money-grabber...

an uneducated seamstress...

And what about you, Diana,

did you go to Chantal's Cafe?

It's a great success.

Something wrong?

No. Everything's fine.

I can't stand just waiting.

I'll try it

because you insisted so much,

but I don't know if he will agree.

Wait for me here, I'll call Doucet.

When an artist provides the answers...

before the questions are even asked...

he is not understood.

Or she, of course.

So, let's see.

This one... no.

No. Do you make them yourself?

Yes I do, Monsieur Doucet.

This one won't work either.

This is not the type of,

work you just improvise.

Who taught you?

No one.

It's been a passion of mine

since I was a child.

Didn't you play with dolls?

I preferred ribbons...

buttons... velvet...

This hat. Yes.

This hat has the answer...

before the question is asked.

It's the work of an artist.

In its... simplicity.

I see your signature.

And what do you think,

Mademoiselle Dorziat?

I think it's perfect for Bel Ami.

Then we have a match.

Doucet costumes... Chanel hats.

Yes, I'm looking to purchase a hat

like the one Gabrielle Dorziat

wore in Bel Ami.

This one here.

Of course.

Thank you.

You look perfect.

Thank you

I'm pleased you accepted my invitation.

Uh, Boy Capel and Mademoiselle Chanel.

Uh, Boy Capel, of course.

But I can't seem to

find Mademoiselle Chanel.

Could you look again, please?

I'm afraid there is

no Chanel on the list.

Mademoiselle Chanel is with me.

Don't worry.

I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding.

I'd like to speak to the person

who drew up the list.

Madame Elizabeth Ducrot,

the Ambassador's wife, prepared it.

Your friend Elizabeth...

Who else?

Wait!

Coco. Wait.

Leave me alone. Go to your party,

it's full of important people.

I couldn't care less about them.

The only person

I really care about is you.

I don't belong to your world.

Even at my opening

they scrutinized me and judged me.

An ex-mistress,

grown up in an orphanage.

You've asked me to

always tell you the truth.

I love you... Coco.

Please, don't say that.

Don't you think I know

how it feels not to be accepted?

You and I are not so different.

I've lived with rejection all my life.

My father has never even shown

any desire to know me.

Don't push me away.

I've never felt like this

about anyone in my life.

We are the same... you and I.

We are one.

Monsieur Capel. Madame.

Gaston

Coco?

You forgot this.

It's wilted, you can throw it away.

Why did you leave?

If I've offended you in some way...

What are you afraid of?

Myself, of you, of my feelings,

of the night we spent together...

One day, at Royallieu...

I heard you speak of a man who left you.

But I never will...

Coco. I want you to marry me.

Marry you?

Yes.

Will you be my wife?

I love you, Boy.

But I'll only marry you when

I'm no longer dependent.

You are so proud.

You will suffer.

Good morning. For you

Yes. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Nothing.

He left two weeks ago and

since then I haven't heard from him.

I'm not sure.

If you don't like it, you're not

obliged to buy it, Madame.

Thank you for stopping Madame.

Goodbye.

He'll never come back.

After all, why should

he waste his time on me?

You know what you need to do?

To get away for a bit.

I have no desire to go anywhere.

We can't live our lives waiting

around for Boy and Maurice to call.

Do you know what we should do?

Let's go to Deauville.

That will cheer you up.

Why can't women be free like men?

And as free as they are?

Because this is the way the world is.

I don't think you can change that.

Really?

Mademoiselle.

Would you like to see

some of my beautiful shells?

Listen.

The sound of the sea.

Beautiful. No.

I'll buy it.

Really?

All of them.

I don't believe it.

Let's go for a walk.

Everyone is looking at us.

They're envious.

I hope we don't get arrested.

Hi...

Do you tango... Mademoiselle?

I hope you missed me.

Who told you I was in Deauville?

I would have found you anywhere...

even... without Adrienne's note.

I was worried

you'd disappeared for good.

That's what I wanted to do.

I couldn't sleep at night.

You made me suffer.

I wanted that too.

You can be very cruel.

Like anyone who's in love.

I have ended my contracts

with the Germans.

I won't be supplying them anymore coal.

I only hope it's not too late.

Do you think there could be a war?

If men were to choose between

war and peace, they'd choose war.

Especially the English,

with their greed for power.

Starting with my father.

Tell me about him.

Sir David... member of Parliament.

He paid for me to study

in the best schools in England...

but he never wanted to meet me

in person.

And you?

You've never spoken of yours.

It's a sad story.

You don't have to tell me anything.

Our family isn't what's important.

You... and I... are all that matter.

I want to open a shop here in Deauville.
