Please, Please Me! Page #2

You mean if I had slept with her,

it wouldn't be any worse?

No. On the contrary.

It would've been

over and done with.

Now it's ahead of us - That's worse.

What do you mean?

Nothing will happen.

Because nothing will happen,

you'll fantasize about her.

I fantasize about you, not her.

Why would I want you

if I fantasized about her?

Because your subconscious

is transferring onto me.

What do you know about that?

Well, I know a little.

I don't have to justify

how I know things.

Ariane, my love!

You mustn't be sad.

You're lucky to be

with a man as honest as me.

My friends would've kept quiet.

Jean-Jacques, I've thought it over.

Ive given it a lot of thought.

Are you listening?

It's normal

you're attracted to another woman.

In fact, the opposite

would be worrying.

It happens to all couples

who've been together for a while.

It's like that

in every civilization.

Why would it be different for us?

No, we have to face facts.

Man is

by his very nature, unfaithful.

He can't help it. It's genetic.

To tell you the truth,

I'd hoped it wasn't true.

Well, not true of you.

But I see

it's a little girl's naive dream

That the prince

has but one princess.

No, for our couple to survive,

we must be...

modern.

That's why you must go

sleep with that woman.

What?

That's right.

It's better to anticipate things.

You wouldn't really be cheating on me,

because I'd know beforehand.

But I don't want to.

Yes, you do,

but you can't admit it to me.

I know it's hard to say.

I don't blame you.

Do you realize what you're asking?

Yes, to turn us

into a powerfully progressive couple.

I won't go and sleep with her

just to please you.

Can't you see

I'm making an effort?

You could make an effort too.

Sure.

But I won't go.

I have to go.

See you tomorrow, my love.

I... won't go.

I won't go.

Actually, I was

just about to call you back.

Ive thought it over...

the thing is...

well, I can't stay very long.

Cross the street, please.

Hello.

Which floor do you wish to go to?

Hello.

Which floor do you wish to go to?

Please repeat.

I didn't understand your answer.

Please repeat.

I didn't understand your answer.

I wish to go to the 4th floor.

Please...

Excuse me. Im looking

for Elizabeths apartment.

I don't know her last name.

- Jean-Jacques?

- Yes.

- Can I see some ID, please?

- Yes.

Ill return it when you leave.

Can you spread

your arms and legs?

Can I see what's in your pocket?

Can you hold the bottle of wine?

Can you tell me what this is?

An invention of mine.

I can show you if you like.

Rub it with your finger. Right here.

It stays on.

Now watch.

Not a trace on my face...

or on the cloth.

That's black.

It doesn't work

as well as the blue one.

Very good.

- You may go in.

- Thanks.

Have a good evening, sir.

Good evening.

- Will you follow me?

- Yes.

- Can I take those of you?

- Uh, yes.

- Would you like a drink, sir?

- No, thanks.

Hello.

Do you like it?

One of David Finder's latest creations.

I just bought it.

Im so glad you're here.

I hoped we'd be alone

before the guests come,

But I've lost Lazare, my snake.

He strays sometimes,

but he's been away since yesterday.

I have to see my father.

He'll help me find him.

Will you come with me?

He really wants to meet you.

- Really?

- Yes. Follow me.

I was so afraid you wouldn't come.

I organized this party

just to have an excuse to call you.

Isnt that ridiculous?

Yes.

I mean no!

I nearly forgot!

- I have a gift for you.

- For me?

Well, thanks.

- I brought wine.

- Thanks.

It's a Coteaux de Pierre-Vert.

I see.

When I saw it in the store

I thought of you.

It's wonderful.

It's too much.

You do smoke, I hope.

No, but I was thinking of starting.

Great.

Let's go.

Where are we going?

To my father's. This is a shortcut.

Dad...

I came with Jean-Jacques.

Im delighted to meet you.

Ive heard a lot about you.

Good evening, sir.

Call me Antoine.

Any friend of Elizabeths

is a friend of mine.

I hope I'll get to know you better.

Im having a party tonight.

Come over.

Im afraid I can't.

I have a dinner with

the Japanese pm, his ambassador...

you're not a journalist?

No, not at all.

I can speak freely.

Im furious.

They're canceling a major agreement.

What do you work in?

Im... an inventor.

Do you work for a group?

Im actually independent.

Are you specialized

in a particular field?

No.

If you have a few seconds...

I can show you something

I made myself.

Please do. I adore inventions.

They're the future of the nation.

Care to rub it?

See? It doesn't come off.

Now watch.

There!

All gone!

It didn't work?

It's 'cause I used the black one.

It doesn't work

as well as the blue one.

There. And now...

I rub it and rub it...

and rub it and rub it...

there! Not a trace of it let!

Either on my face or the cloth.

Bravo. Congratulations.

Have you thought of any applications?

Im more specialized in inventions

than applications.

I see.

Well, if I have an idea, I'll call you.

- Thanks.

- Net month

Im representing French innovation

in India. Like to come?

Well, I'd love to.

I have to ask...

you could come, too.

Yes, great!

Let's see to Lazare.

- Let's go see the gardener.

- Ok.

Be right back. Wait here.

Ok.

See you soon, Jean-Jacques.

See you soon, sir.

Good evening. Im Aki Yamagata,

the Japanese ambassador in Paris

And this is our secretary of state,

Koyt Ishida.

My name is Jean-Jacques Dupuis.

Im a friend

of the president's daughter.

He says he is

Very honored to meet you.

(Picture)

well...

tell him

I'm delighted to meet him, too.

And tell him

I don't know your country,

but I'd love to visit it.

He would be very happy to invite you.

Thank you.

I can't say when yet, but...

I'd be delighted.

He wants to know if you need any help.

Help?

We can see in the mirror

you have a little problem.

It's just that I got my finger

caught in the vase.

I don't know how I did it.

I put my finger in it and...

Give me the vase. Ill pull.

Good evening, Mr. president.

We're so embarrassed.

It was a gift

from alexander to napoleon

When they signed

the treaty of Tilsit in 1807.

We don't know

how we can make it up to you.

Don't worry, we are here to talk.

Ill show the children out

then I'm all yours.

It's a copy.

The original is in the Louvre.

Of you go.

What did you think of my father?

Very pleasant.

I didn't think he'd be so pleasant.

Not that I didn't think he'd be nice.

On the contrary.

He really liked you.

- Really?

- Oh, yes.

He did suggest

you joining him on a trip.

You'll see, it's fascinating.

I can't wait to meet your parents.

We're very late.

The guests must've arrived.

Your moustache.

Tania, director of Niedermayer's

merchant bank in Spain.

Pleased to meet you.

Franois, vice-President of Adexo.

Gabriel, manager at Peugeot sport.

Jean-Jacques - Gabriel.

Franck!

Franck - Jean-Jacques.

Ive got all your albums.

Im a huge fan.

Claudia!
