Diary of a Nymphomaniac Page #2

just want to f*** me,

and I like that,

but it hurts

because, above all, I'm a woman.

Darling, I was calling

to say good night,

but I guess your out

having a good time?

You are so right!

Enjoy it while you're young?

Bye. A kiss.

It's not fair, Val, they're pigs.

You give them part of

your life, and they fire you.

Want a hand?

Forget it, I was fed up anyway.

Weren't you on a diet?

How can I be being so depressed?

You get it, I don't work here.

Yes?

So, Valerie can't attend to you,

she no longer works here. Bye.

Yes?

Speaking.

I got furious when I found

out they called you.

Thanks for coming,

but there's no need.

I got a few days vacation at work.

I'd have come anyway.

Don't look like that, Val.

I've no intention of dying so soon.

It was just a slight problem.

My heart is holding out.

Doctors always exaggerate.

- What is wrong with you?

- Nothing.

Val, I know you well.

Is it over a man?

One?

Over all of them.

Do you know what nymphomania is?

I think that's my problem.

I can't control it.

I need sex.

I see a man and I need him.

But no one understands that.

People stare at me.

It happens with strangers

that don't attract me.

I'm scared.

Scared of not being

like other women.

Scared of being hurt someday.

Of not being able to live with

one man, not having a family.

Nymphomania, a man's invention

to make women

feel guilty if they

break the rules.

Everyone is the way they are.

Never give up anything

you really long for

because you'll regret it.

Believe me.

To me,

I think that you

don't dare to live your life.

Want a piece of advice?

Enjoy life

as much as you can.

And go get my sweater,

I want to finish it.

You should rest, grandma.

I've rested enough.

Go on and get my knitting.

Go on.

CALL VAL:

I've lost the only person

who understood me.

I feel absolutely alone.

I'd like to have the company

of a man to comfort me,

but I haven't the strength

to go looking for him.

I'm exhausted.

Darling, I was calling

to say good night,

but I guess your out

having a good time?

You are so right!

Enjoy it while you're young?

Bye. A kiss.

Darling, I was calling

to say good night,

but I guess your out

having a good time?

You are so right!

Enjoy it while you're young?

Bye. A kiss.

Darling, I was calling

to say good night,

but I guess your out

having a good time?

You are so right!

Enjoy it while you're young?

Bye. A kiss.

I called you a lot.

You could at least answer.

What happened?

I know that my sex life

is harming me, and that

I can't go on like this.

Although I'm sunk,

I'm looking for work.

Okay, you're the person I need.

You speak English, you

have knowledge of marketing.

We sell a lot to France,

and you'd take care of

our communications,

go with me to fairs,

and have a ham for Christmas.

- A ham?

- I give them to my employees.

You can't say we foreigners

don't integrate.

Interested?

I have another interview today.

- I'll let you know this week.

- Okay.

I see you're very observant.

You see, we're moving.

Why did you quit your last job?

they cut down on personnel,

including me, Mr...

Rijas, Jaime Rijas.

What?

Rijas and Associates,

general manager.

You're a graduate in

business administration

and applied foreign languages.

A really impressive curriculum.

May I ask you something?

- Sure.

- Are you married?

- No.

Engaged?

I think that is irrelevant.

Yes, you're right, but in this job

one must travel the world over.

there's no commitment on my part.

Would you like to ask me

anything else

on the salary, or whatever?

What perfume do you use?

Well now, you really have

a very, very good sense of smell.

It's a special lavender perfume.

Yes?

Valerie?

Yes, speaking.

It's Jaime Rijas?

How are you?

Oh, hello.

I've made a decision,

but have a problem

and would like to talk

to you in person.

What sort of problem?

I think I can speak openly to you.

Would you mind talking

about this over a drink?

Can't we do that in your office?

I'd prefer a quieter place?

My secretary

interrupts constantly.

I'm 39 and have always been

a businessman with clear ideas,

but nothing like this had

ever happened to me before.

And I thought it was important

to talk about it with someone

without prejudice,

and you're that person.

Why? You hardly know each other.

Precisely because we don't

know each other at all,

your opinion will be

more objective.

that all depends.

I met a woman at work and,

due to my status as

director general,

I don't know what to do.

I've always controlled my

impulses but his thing,

- it's getting out of hand.

- She works in your company?

Not yet.

Does she know?

She's smart and

I think she has realized

there's something more,

but she's made no comment and

I'm afraid she may not

feel the same for me.

Sorry. Did I step on you?

- The table's small.

- That's okay.

You're beautiful, Valerie.

I'd like to buy you a rose, but

I have no money.

Or do I?

I forgot to tell you something.

The job was yours until

this evening.

But from now on I don't think

I couldn't order you around.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Any relatives?

Two grown boys, but he's

been separated for years.

Isn't he too old for you?

He's the smartest man

I've ever met.

He's intelligent, polite, cultured,

caring. He's got it all.

I had never felt like this before.

When I see him my heart leaps

and his hands drive me crazy.

Val, you, in love?

As a child I'd let

my balloons go.

I liked to watch them rise.

It made me feel free.

I don't know if I'm in love,

but I like him a lot.

He's different from

all the other men.

Maybe you too were

born for matrimony.

Not so fast.

I feel a normal woman

for the first time in my life,

a feeling that fascinates me,

to be like all other women I meet.

I see Jaime nearly every day.

I realize I've discovered something

as important as sex.

The love of a man.

I have fallen madly in love

for the first time in my life.

He takes me to the best places,

and always picks me up.

In his Jaguar?

I'd like that, really.

A boyfriend with a Jaguar.

And how is he in bed?

I don't know yet.

You're in love!

Jaime, you need to use a condom.

Really? I want to feel you.

- Is it necessary?

- Yes.

Okay, no problem.

I'll go get one.

And while you're at it, take

the cat out. We should be alone.

Caress me.

Sorry I was so fast,

but I've had a tiring day.

Don't worry. It's okay.

Could you leave the light on?

You should fear nothing now,

you have me.

And tomorrow will be a very,

very special day.

You'll see.

today we finally made love.

I hardly felt anything,

like the first time with Edouard.

But I love him and he loves me.

That's the most important to me.

- It's marvellous.

- Yes.

The office. Don't look,

it's all a mess right now.

I'm living a marvellous

dream with Jaime

from which I don't want to wake.

A room with a view,

wooden floors. Nice?
