Les liaisons dangereuses Page #5

---

Go away.

I don't want you to be unhappy.

I can't stand it.

I beg you, leave me alone.

Promise you'll forget about me.

Please don't cry.

Marianne, I'm so happy.

I'd give my life

if it would be of any service to you.

"Togetherness intoxicated us both.

"For me, like never before,

it was more overwhelming than desire.

"I let her hold me tight.

"Then sank to my knees and vowed

that I'd love her forever.

"And I really meant it.

"We decided to spend a few days

at a hotel in Normandy.

"Juliette, why aren't you in Paris?

"I look forward to your return.

"Bye, my angel. I give you all my love."

- Who's there?

- Miss Volange.

Take care of her baggage.

- How long since Mr. Valmont left?

- A week, madam.

- Hasn't he called?

- No.

I knew you'd be back this morning.

I need your help urgently.

- How?

- I have to get married.

- You're engaged, aren't you?

- I must get married right away.

- Really?

- Yes, I'm positive.

It can't be urgent.

You're marrying Court in April.

So he'll be a happy father soon.

I want to marry Danceny.

I'll try to explain to him...

That you're pregnant by Valmont?

I tried persuading him to marry me.

In vain. I begged, I threatened,

but he just got upset.

He's so serious.

Maybe it's his way of loving me.

Or you used the wrong arguments.

You'd be able to get through to him.

Perhaps.

Please!

It's him.

Thank you.

I'm Cecile's cousin.

- Juliette Valmont.

- Nice to meet you.

Cecile told me a lot about you.

Let's talk about you and her.

You're going to the same university?

- The entrance exam is in June.

- How exciting.

- Do you have an apartment?

- I'm renting a room.

Mansard, I suppose?

Complete with a handy blackboard?

- You must love mathematics.

- It's my passion.

- And Cecile?

- Come on!

Cecile and mathematics.

It must be depressing,

alone all the time. Even at home.

I'm not rushing into marriage,

but Cecile won't wait.

What are your plans?

Work in the private sector?

- Research work.

- That won't make you rich.

- I don't care.

- That's unusual for a young man.

Few women understand that.

You know women well?

I mean Cecile.

She has no right to interfere

with your career. Tell her that.

I don't want to hurt her.

If she loves you, she'll wait.

Don't try to see each other for the moment.

I'll take care of it.

You just concentrate on your equations.

You'll tell me how things go?

Come and see me at 7, day after tomorrow.

Okay.

- Do you like whiskey?

- I haven't acquired the taste.

It's the healthiest liquor.

Come here, you cute little dolphin!

Come here!

What do doctors do to angels

with stuffy noses?

They send them to heaven.

No.

The opposite.

They forbid them to make love.

That's not true.

Do you love me?

Yes.

My body is no longer the same.

Your eyes make a difference.

Yes?

Mr. Valmont, a telephone call for you.

Okay.

Won't you kiss me first?

Do you really love me?

Of course, I'll be there.

The ministry, I got my assignment.

At Reunion?

That was before you loved me.

No, I've been trying to get

on IBABC for a long time.

It's very important for me.

That's wonderful?

What is IBABC?

Everyone knows...

The International Bureau

for Aid to Backward Countries.

Where is it?

It has offices everywhere.

Where's my notebook?

On the table.

- So what about us?

- Nothing will change.

What about our plans?

The house in Marly...

the rose garden...

the little dog?

Does it matter where we love each other?

I'm frightened.

I love that fear of yours.

What are you thinking about?

The minister wants to see me.

I have to go to Paris in the morning.

I'll be back in the evening.

We'll spend a few more days here.

Then we're off for the IBABC trip.

Look at the itinerary.

April in Tokyo.

Cherry trees in bloom.

You'll wear a printed dress.

June in Nairobi. A safari.

I'll shoot only with my camera.

September in Calcutta. Monsoon...

fever, malaria...

Take it easy. It won't be that bad.

Here's to your mission!

April in Tokyo.

It is very delicate.

You must go with me, Prevan.

June in Nairobi.

Easy stopover.

We'll hunt lions.

September in Calcutta.

I'll need an economic advisor.

You helped me a lot. Thanks.

I must be at the ministry at 8:00.

Your mail is on the desk.

- You know the way, don't you?

- By heart.

How did Mrs. Tourvel

take Operation Breakup?

She's waiting for me in Deauville.

You didn't keep your word?

I don't know how to tell her.

- I can't stand tears.

- Phone her.

- I'll hear her crying.

- Telegraph.

What can you explain in a telegram?

What you usually say straight out.

I can do it for you.

I want to send a telegram.

Babylon, 32-82.

It's from Mr. Valmont.

Mrs. Tourvel...

Royal Inn, Deauville.

"My sweet angel...

"everything has its end...

"That's the law of nature.

"I seduced you with pleasure.

"I'm leaving you without regret.

"Good-bye.

"That's the way life goes.

"It's not my fault. Valmont."

I repeat...

Okay, thank you.

Are you pleased with yourself?

How long will it take?

About two hours.

And if it's urgent?

One hour? Make it urgent then.

No, Henri, that's impossible.

You've been a very good husband.

Do me one last favor then, please.

Leave me Caroline.

A telegram for you.

Executed.

Suffering?

It's none of your business.

That's vanity for you.

You're madly in love with her.

I made fun of you...

and you sacrificed her.

As if you were doing something heroic.

Already at Miguel's?

I'll be late.

My husband needed me.

Definitely.

See you in an hour.

Till then, Danceny.

Yes.

Well-behaved, charming.

He wouldn't hurt a woman out of self-love.

Danceny knows Miguel?

There's a lot he can tell him.

I'm in control.

I won't tolerate this liaison.

On my return from New York,

Cecile came to me in tears.

You did it...

but you forgot to take precautions.

Poor girl.

Bleeding heart.

I'm glad your blood

will refine Court's progeny.

Cecile wanted to marry Danceny.

She asked me to persuade him.

I persuaded him to do something else.

He won't marry till he graduates.

Cecile is furious.

But Danceny adores me.

What shall I wear for this get-together?

What do you think?

You won't see Danceny!

Is that clear?

The Valmont I loved was a gentleman.

Mrs. Tourvel gave me back a husband.

A husband has rights!

You'll stay here tonight!

All your life, if I say so!

Could you leave my bedroom, please?

I must change.

Our friends await me.

As you wish.

But let me warn you. If you see him now...

there will be war.

Okay. Let there be war.

Hello, Miguel.

Hi.

- The party's warming up.

- Yes.

- You're well?

- Yes.

I hope Danceny will understand.

Sure, you love each other.

But what about Juliette?

Just do as I told you.

Hello.

You don't remember me? I'm Valmont.

I sure do. Sorry.

I want you to listen to me carefully.

- It's a matter of honor.

- I'm listening.

I love a woman who is not my wife.

Juliette followed us to Megeve

and created quiet a stir.

That's true, I was there.
