Goodbye Emmanuelle Page #3

---

They seem to be perfectly in love...

Didn't you notice?

What happened the other day

on the island?

He threw me out,

calling me a whore.

What a jackass!

Do you see what I see?

Which one gave in do you think?

Guillaume, of course. She must have

blackmailed him with the kids.

You're the most misogynistic

womanizer I've ever known.

Hello!

- You okay?

- Yes, I'm fine.

You're happy?

So, what's new?

We're going to Kenya for two weeks.

Why don't you come?

We're leaving the children

with Aunt Coralie.

Yes, why not! It's rather quiet

here right now.

You know I hate safaris!

We don't have to hunt.

I don't feel like leaving.

Well, if you change your mind...

...we can always arrange something with Gerard for the plane tickets.

Even at the last minute!

I don't understand you.

Usually, you're the one who

likes to travel.

What's keeping you here?

Can't you see

they need to be alone?

No. Guillaume seemed to insist.

He's like all men...

...terrorized at the thought

of being alone with her...

...and having to explain himself.

If you should enter a room

inadvertently...

...and are confronted with

a naked woman...

...politeness requires that you say

"Excuse me, Madame"...

...but tact, "Excuse me, Sir."

One day, this server brings

a dry martini to a room...

...and finds his client

making love to a lady.

He remembers his instructions

regarding tact, and stammers...

..."Excuse me, the dry martini is

for which of you gentlemen?"

Can you give me a cigarette?

There aren't any left.

I have some in the bedroom.

I'll be back.

Do you like my husband?

I've known you two

for a while now.

And?

Look, with you, anything.

I like you very much, but...

...with him, no way.

I only like women, you see.

- Exclusively?

- Exclusively.

What about Gregory?

Gregory knows exactly

what to expect.

How did you meet Gregory?

I acted in his first film, and then

I lost touch with him for a while.

I was very pleased

to see him again.

He looks relaxed. He seems to

have overcome his problems.

- Which problems?

- With his wife.

- He's married.

- He was. But it went sour.

They had decided to tell

each other everything...

...be a modern, open couple.

But the first time he told her

he had a mistress...

...she threw herself out

of a window.

She died?

No, fortunately she made it...

after 6 months in the hospital.

He stayed with her for fear

she might do it again...

...until one day, she told him

she was leaving him...

...for the surgeon

who had treated her.

What was she like?

Very beautiful, somewhat aloof.

A little bit like you.

I'm aloof?

I mean that you're the type of woman

one can easily idealize.

Yet you exist.

One can touch you.

And even caress me.

I find you very desirable, you know.

Poor Jean. You really have no luck.

Dorothee doesn't like men.

Well, that's all right.

I can still watch you.

Oh, absolutely not.

I cannot stand a man watching me.

So sorry.

Listen, don't look that way.

Fine. Good night.

- He is gone?

- Yes. Yes, he's gone.

Tell me more about Gregory.

Oh! How are you?

What are you doing here?

I live here now.

The Cordiers took a liking...

...to a little stuck-up thing named Cecile...

...and made it clear that

I was in the way...as usual.

You should have come

to our place.

You're kind. I found myself

an ornithologist.

An ornithologist?

Yes, an Englishman who just spent

two months in Birdland...

...and studies the sexuality of seabirds.

Did you know they

invented group sex?

What?

It excites them to watch others

make love next to them.

The Cordiers must've been birds

in a previous life.

You haven't seen Gregory?

I saw him going down

to the beach.

Are you still after him?

Yes, but he's hard to catch.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

- Am I bothering you?

- No, not at all.

I was working.

I've come to make peace.

That's funny, because I dreamt

of you last night.

Really?

We were on a boat. You were telling me

to hurry up and make love...

...because your husband

was coming back.

Then a man was swimming towards us.

Not your husband...

...but the black man

with whom you were dancing.

He threatened me with a harpoon.

I wanted to dive overboard to escape

him, but the sea was full of sharks.

You were laughing.

You're still suspicious of me.

Of you, or of another woman...

You know dreams don't

necessarily mean what we believe.

How's your location scouting?

Fine, I still need to see

Praslin Island.

I plan to go there tomorrow.

I can take you there.

This is Silhouette Island.

Chloe used to live here at first.

Chloe is the girl who paints, right?

Yes.

She's staying at the hotel now.

She arrived two years ago with an

American poet. She was pregnant.

But things went bad.

She lost her child...

...and the doctor told her

she couldn't have another.

So, the American left and she found

herself alone, without resources.

She lived with one after another,

selling her paintings.

But she never got over it.

Have you ever wanted a child?

Jean doesn't want any.

How about you?

Sometimes I think about it.

- Madame, there's fish over here.

- How about fishing?

Fishing? I've never done that.

You know I was jealous of Dorothee?

Yes, she told me.

It never happened

to me before.

It's never too late.

- You don't believe me.

- I do.

- And I don't dislike it.

- Really?

Let's stop at Ronde Island.

There's a little restaurant.

They'll prepare our fish.

Watch it, there's another one.

Your turn.

It's not difficult, you saw?

You must have found me

horrible the other day.

Yes, I did.

I don't want to behave like this

with you anymore.

You don't want us

to make love anymore?

Yes, of course.

But I'd like to start anew

as if we'd just met.

I'd like you to talk to me,

to court me...

Don't make fun of me, please.

What is your movie about?

It's the story of a guy who's fed up

with the crazy life he leads...

...and goes to live on a desert island.

- All alone?

- At first, yes.

Then comes a girl, a little lost girl.

He tries to send her away,

but she stays...

...and he finally falls in love with her.

And then?

So they live happily for a while...

Until he notices that

she's getting bored...

So they go back to Europe,

he resumes his former life...

...and there she meets another man

and leaves him.

- Your story isn't fun.

- No.

How was your wife?

I don't like to talk about her.

Do you still love her?

I already explained I could only

love one woman at a time.

I'm sorry.

Is that Praslin Island?

Yes, we're almost there.

The hotel is on the other side,

near a large beach.

You'll see. It's very isolated.

Here they are.

My darling.

- We missed you. Hello.

- Hello.

Come on.

- Did the trip go well?

- Yes, thank you.

Don't you think our islands are

made for love?

That is so true.

Everything has been arranged.

Gregory, you have

the back bungalow.

Albert, can you lead Monsieur?

If you want a shower,

come to my place.

Jean wanted to be on the waterfront
