Crpe de chine,

printed specially for me.

Who's Yosaburo?

MyJapanese husband.

He adored me.

I left my American husband for him.

He was desperate.

He tried to throw himself

out the window of the Ritz.

Yosaburo saved him.

Just in time, too.

He was an angel.

They were both very rich.

It's marvelous to have been loved...

by two very rich men.

Are you on your honeymoon?

No, but I'm with someone.

Get him to marry you.

It's very important.

I'm already married.

Excuse me. Thanks.

An adulteress.

Good old France!

See you soon.

I have to go.

Join me in an hour

at the Golden Bee.

The driver knows it.

I'll send the car back for you.

It's all paid for.

So, this time you brought a redhead.

If you were nice,

you'd show her around Tokyo.

I've got a lot of work

at the moment.

There she is.

A cook!

What a disgrace!

Pleased to meet you.

Have a seat.

Is this your first visit to Tokyo?

What's your first impression?

Lots ofJapanese people!

That's a lot for an island.

- Four islands.

- Ah, well!

I prefer Mariline.

So do I.

You're a flower

that's fallen into our garden.

- Are you a gardener?

- No. A banker.

A lovely profession.

You're the lovely one.

Come and listen to some

Japanese music at my place.

I have a traditional wooden house.

A lovely garden.

The moonlight on the maples

is unforgettable.

I'd like to show you

how exquisite my country is.

You didn't bring your fianc.

Were you afraid I'd steal him?

I left him in a nightclub...

with a very prettyJapanese girl.

Aren't you jealous?

Certainly not.

Having a jealous husband is enough.

So this one is your lover?

Not yet.

Make love tonight on the tatami.

It's a full moon.

You'll see. You'll be happy.

Love doesn't interest me.

That's because you've never known it.

As for me...

I've dedicated my life to love.

I've made love over 33,000 times...

in 1 3 capitals.

New York, Paris, London...

Tokyo...

Rome, Berlin, Mexico City...

Copenhagen...

Delhi, Peking.

Rio, So Paulo, Bangkok.

Never in cities with less than...

I've experienced everything.

But...

it was with Yosaburo...

that I touched the sky.

With him I reached satori.

Where is Satori?

The world of ecstasy.

Give up your Western sense of sin.

I have no sense of sin.

Mind you...

the sense of sin...

brought me great pleasure.

Before.

Here, have a drink.

Are you interested in fish?

I can take you fishing.

Come to my place.

I've got a net and a boat.

No way.

We all know what goes on

in your chalet.

You and my father and those girls.

Let me go!

Are you crazy?

Are you tired?

I'm never tired.

Our village called us ""the savages.''

We founded a club.

What kind of club?

A club whose aim was...

to get things out of men...

without ever giving them anything.

Well, well.

What became of the others?

- They got married.

- Like you.

- Like me.

- Then...

you haven't lived up

to the principles of your youth.

Oh, but I have.

Are you capable of loving?

What about you?

Is that the big boss's house?

It's pretty. I like it.

A very nice girl

will look after you...

while I'm with the president.

You're ashamed

to introduce me to him.

That's right. I am ashamed.

This is Sayuri.

You must take care of yourself.

I'm going to see a doctor in Paris.

- When?

- I'm flying tomorrow night.

Are you going alone?

You see?

The closer I get to death...

the more I love life.

Will you see Rambert in Paris?

No, I don't think so.

CAREFREE GI RLS' CLUB

You look worried.

I'm incapable of loving.

Perhaps you lack imagination.

Perhaps I lack generosity.

Hey, big boss.!

I'm Frdrique.

I'm sorry.

Come in.

When did this cable arrive?

It says ""urgent.''

It just arrived, sir.

Impossible.

It arrived at 8:
30,

but I couldn't find you.

I thought you had

gone out to dinner.

I was in the bar.

He could be dead.

He's capable of that.

It's not the first time

Galuchat's tried it.

Galuchat ruined his health

to provide for us.

I'll never leave him.

When you're well,

I'll take you home.

Are you worried

about your husband?

He just did it to annoy me.

I thought it was only in Japan...

that one could die for love.

I tell you, he just did it to annoy me.

You're young.

Not that young.

Did you leave your parents

a long time ago?

When I got married.

Were you happy with them?

I would have really liked

to have a father like you.

You and Father are

going out on the town?

None of your business.

I'm pregnant.

The man who did this--

can't he marry you?

He's already married.

The bastard!

Have you told your mother?

You're the first one I've told.

I need 800 francs to get rid of it.

Will you lend it to me?

That's the fellow's job

who did it to you.

Now I can go to your chalet.

I can't do that to your parents.

I don't know why I said I was pregnant.

I was a virgin.

I hated the fact he was waiting

for my father.

They were going off

to his chalet and their girls.

Have a seat.

Have a drink.

Move over.

Leave me alone.

I don't feel like it.

Leave me alone!

So this is where you

and my father have your dirty fun?

Go home!

Leave me alone!

You old pig!

Why did you do that, my child?

I'd never been

so ashamed in my life.

We'll be in Paris in three hours.

I'm never in a hurry,

even on a plane.

Even when pursued...

the butterfly never seems hurried.

I'm no butterfly.

- That's a haiku.

- What's a haiku?

AJapanese poem in three lines.

Tell me another one.

The woman without children...

how tender she is...

with her dolls.

I never wanted to grow up.

Becoming an adult

seemed disgusting.

I'd like...

to see you again.

Everything all right, kids?

Just fine.

Don't be long.

There's a lot to do.

I'm coming.

Don't start again.

I can't stand it here.

I'm suffocating.

I want to get out.

I'm just asking you

to have a little patience.

Coming!

I'm gonna kill that guy.

He's always after you.

You know I don't care.

You went off with the other guy.

I wanted to see the world.

Swear you'll never leave me again.

I swear.

What's he doing?

Saying his prayers?

You could make lace with this.

Lou and I will make

a new man of you.

Let's go.

Pull.

Not too tiring?

It's relaxing.

St. Genis behaved very badly.

With you, with Mariline.

His money makes him think

he can do whatever he likes.

He buys everything,

no matter the cost.

Even other men's wives.

I've got to have a drink.

It's not time yet.

When I think of that bastard--

You two swindled us at bowling...

so he treated Frdrique like a whore.

You couldn't stand that.

To think he had her

for the price of a trip to Tokyo!

I can't take it anymore.

If I don't get a drink right now,

I'll go mad!

We'll join them, then.

I feel sorry for you.

I won't say anything.

- Where are you going?

- The local bar!

You know there is none around here.

I'll tell them you tried to kill me!

What are you doing?

Looking to see

if Galuchat hid a bottle.

Here it is.

He'll kill himself.

He's impossible.
