I can't make them cum.

That's illegal.

I'm going crazy

or I'll rape children.

How do you do it?

- Don't make jokes about that.

Alex, what was the problem?

- What do you think?

His onomatopoeia?

His skin? His smell?

Or was it the tarzan yell?

Unimaginable.

You're saying I'm too intellectual.

Now I'm asking for something simple.

She gives a stroke,

she goes like...

Maybe you can sing at the same time.

What's that to me?

Am I annoying?

- No.

I am annoying. Sorry.

Sir, madam.

Excuse me.

Madam is coming.

Madam is coming,

but keeps it to herself.

How far are you with Sylvie?

- Like with the others.

After a few hours

of extreme effort...

Sylvie doesn't interest me.

- You know what your problem is?

You act like it's a big achievement.

-What?

To you it's a achievement.

-What?

Sex. You do it, but youre not

participating.

What do you tell me now?

-It's true.

The details of your private life

is none of my interests.

Excuse us, your honor.

-He started.

Later at the party you can continue

your discussion in the toilets.

Unbelievable.

What did you do more that I

couldn't do?

You are too old for that stuff.

I'm 2 years older than you are.

-A little bit more.

Mister starts cavilling.

You think too much about

the pleasure of the other.

You have to let yourself go lose.

-You are an altruist.

Get relaxed and think about yourself.

-That's selfish.

It's better like this.

Otherwise you get blocked.

You think too much about the

pleasure of others.

You get blocked because you

are not focusing on yourself.

In the end the pleasure of the woman,

is the pleasure of a man.

If I feel that the man isn't

enjoying ...

his own pleasure...

-Wait a moment.

If I feel that the man doesn't go

up in his own pleasure...

You are not enjoying it because

I don't enjoy it?

No, I get blocked.

-What a bad thing to hear afterwards.

After all these years...

-I couldn't do it. No.

All this effort I took to

temper myself...

for hours.

I have been sweating from it.

Let me explain.

-And it was wrong? It had to be fast.

And you came two hours later,

while I was in the shower or asleep.

This is really f***ed.

No, it's not like that.

-You push me too...

I wanted...

-He fucks and she comes hours later.

You can't explain.

-It's not rational.

Your problem is that you

want an explanation for everything.

But sometimes there is no explanation.

It's like that talking for centuries.

Sometimes you just have to f***.

And afterwards everything is solved.

I don't know why.

The bodies talk.

-Don't I have to talk?

I talked during f***ing.

Remember?

But the bodies.

-And everything I said got you excited.

It was just a chat.

But it interested you.

It was never a real extacy,

but once or twice ...

Say it. He isn't listening anyway.

-More often.

Really? More often, mate! More often!

Mate!...more often.

You always talk like an intellectual.

-Me?

But after all it's always terra terra.

It's about sex.

That's good, isn't it?

-But you say he's an animal.

It's an essential need.

He doesn't possess the language.

"I f***, I eat, I Marcus"

But I diverse.

I many trouble,

because I not speak the language very well.

The language.

-Come on now, "Language".

Are we there?

-I stay so I can wank myself off.

Well ok.

What a bullshit.

More often.

That's not bad at all.

Hello, Alexandra.

Pierre here. I've got car trouble.

Ill come and get you with the metro.

In 20 to 30 minutes.

I had a dream.

It was weird.

I don't have any feeling in my arm.

I walked through a tunnel.

A tunnel...

completely red...

And afterwards...

The tunnel broke in 2 pieces.

I think...

it's because of my menstruation.

Are you over time.

Remember?

A lot?

No, just a few days.

We'll see.

We had a long sleep.

We have to get up.

I have to buy a new bottle.

for the party tonight.

Pierre...

I have to be kind to him.

because in the end I stole

his wife.

What?

And I have to be too...

-No...

You didn't steal anything from anyone,

honey.

I'm ...

I'm not a thing.

You have not stolen anything

from anyone.

I have done it.

I have decided everything.

It's always the wife that decides.

Really.

But then again...

It's true that you decide.

By the way...

What do you get for me? Do you give

me parties with your ex?

He may be a friend.

But he is crazy about you.

He likes you.

Whatever, you will pay.

-I won't pay sh*t.

You decide and you pay for it.

-No, stop it.

No, wait. I'm not awake yet.

You'll pay for this.

If you hurt me, you'll pay.

You will pay.

The revenge of the elephant.

-Stop it!

Who kills children!

Stop it.

You know I don't like that.

Then I will revenge myself too.

With a kiss.

You crushed me.

-That's not true.

Wait, you...

-No.

Did I hurt you?

You're exaggerating.

You crushed my balls.

Dammit, Alex.

That can't be.

Did I hurt you?

You're a pig.

You're a dirty pig.

Then I will go away. I'll make

sone coffee. That will teach you.

Stop it.

Quit it.

I'll make some coffee.

-Make some coffee?

You know...

You should buy some booze.

Go on.

Okay.

Take a look,

I have something here that hurts.

No, really, I have something here.

Will you play some music?

No.

Alex...

- What?

I think I...

feel like f***ing you in the ass.

No! I thought you were

going to say something romantic.

It is romantic.

- Oh? No, you know...

I love you.

I love you too.

And what if I were pregnant?

That wouldn't be so bad.

Yes, please.

Take a shower.

Hey, well...

I'm going to buy a bottle.

You have money?

Come on, stop it.

- What?

Do you ever have money?

Alright. Do you have some?

I'll get some from your purse.

See you later.
