THE PLEASURE PARTY

Honey, it's just the foghorn.

Please!

Put 1 on my hook.

What?

A crab.

You're scared!

Fishing's fun with women!

There.

I got one!

A real champ!

Take it off the hook!

Scaredy-cat!

Let's make love.

Here?

What of it?

What if someone comes?

He'll get an eyeful!

Nobody will come.

I really want you!

Wonderful!

We'll come back.

Yes, we'll go there again.

We'll come again.

Where you going, Papa?

For some logs.

Can I go with you?

Time for bed. It's 9.

Just this once!

Just once!

I know that old song.

She's 6 years old.

Her playmates go to bed later now.

It's not...

Next thing, she'll spend her

nights at Castel's club!

Put your things away and go to bed.

Sleep well, honey.

Tell me a story.

- Lights out!

- Won't you go to sleep?

A fairy tale!

Nixon or Brezhnev?

What, then?

You know!

You mean, the...

You guessed!

Riding...

You guessed it!

Riding hood? What color?

Red!

Bored?

Not at all! Why?

- It's improper to cut salad.

- I don't care.

Still love me?

Yes.

After 8 years?

You're crazy!

And you?

You'd be hurt if I cheated on you?

How should I know?

You mean I should try?

You already have?

Yes.

Often?

It's unimportant.

That's what you say!

Everyone says so!

Yes, all the men.

Forgive the comparison but it's like...

having a cigarette or a drink.

- And you?

- Have you?

You know I haven't.

How can you ask such a thing?

Many strange things do exist.

They'd bowl us over if we only knew.

Look me in the eyes.

I wouldn't mind.

I wouldn't mention it again.

You really haven't?

Never.

What's wrong with you?

It merely crossed my mind.

Tell me now. If I found out later...

I'd wish you dead.

Well?

You should.

What?

Sleep with another guy.

To some,

sleeping around means cheating.

Let's prove it's not.

Who's coming?

Katkof, Isabel, Michel, Fernand...

Ow! A thorn!

Who else?

Annie, Francois and a pal.

Who?

I forget his name.

The thin one, back from Tokyo.

He gets on my nerves.

He's always "with it".

I don't like him.

Neither do I.

That kind of guy's always playing games...

paranoiac... flipping out...

What's for dinner?

Veal Blanquette.

I love it!

With lemon!

Yes, I know!

Always.

It's too juicy.

Use a low flame or the meat will be tough.

Before serving, warm the sauce.

- Lf it sticks...

- I know, I know!

Don't chop it so fine!

- I finish what I begin!

- They're here.

Keep your apron on.

Don't be fancy!

Tequila and triple sec.

Lemons?

I'll make some real Margaritas!

How are you?

Everyone's here?

This is Habib.

Just back from Tokyo?

We've met before.

Maybe at Castel's.

Sure, I always forget who's there.

He's got his guitar.

Big deal!

Where's the juicer?

- Wait will you see this!

- Margaritas!

Salt?

Under the sink.

Annie, a plate, please!

Can I help you?

Wash that... clean!

Can I go with you?

Has she eaten?

Hamburger and a yogurt and...

she ate it all.

Time for bed now!

You'll come, too?

I've got work to do.

Say goodnight.

To Papa, too.

Come say goodnight.

Tell me a story.

I can't tell you stories all the time.

Tomorrow, I promise.

Lucky kid! Off to bed!

This'll shake you up!

Thou Shalt Not Be Naked...

The Wrong Love Story... Wild Sex...

How about that!

Garbo... That's not bad.

Plow girls... Summer Camps...

A Lifetime... and The Longest Day.

That remind you of anything?

Hey, guys!

Wait! A Modern Wife's Sex Life...

Plow girls...

The Broad Jumpers... and...

Miss Innocence Among the Plow girls...

I'd like that!

The Irony of Chance...

and 2 Girls In 1 Pair of Pajamas!

My darling angel.

Again! Again!

Such soft skin!

I'll open the drapes.

Just halfway.

That's nice.

Close them a bit. My eyes hurt.

I love croissants!

They're fresh and hot.

The others?

Left an hour ago.

Where you going?

The man's coming about the sick trees.

I got work to do.

You're a llama.

What?

You got a llama's nose.

We all look like an animal.

You're a llama.

Glad to be a llama?

If it makes you glad.

Love me?

You're the little llama I love.

I love you, too.

That crap's in my way!

I'm happy, even if it shocks you.

How do you find Esther?

Wonderful!

I wonder why I love her, but I do.

At times she annoys me but I don't care.

Her weak points move me.

She's beautiful and sensitive.

Your melons are expensive!

They're not!

I'll have some peaches.

Why laugh?

I'm not!

Liar! You are!

You say "pitches".

What?

You shorten long vowels "Pitches".

You say "shocolate".

I don't!

"Pitches", "shocolate".

Next time, I'll shop alone!

Go ahead! Buy some chocolate!

- I'd like some...

- What?

"Shocolate".

I like it here.

I'll never forget it.

I'm very happy.

"Athenian slanderer"; 9 letters.

"Sycophant" with a Y and PH.

You know everything!

Anyone knows that word.

Not me.

You're a ninny.

Slept with Habib?

Yes.

I don't like him.

Racist!

He's very nice.

Maybe, but...

he's a ball-breaker.

So... he's a good lay?

Great.

In love with him?

You crazy?

I like him, that's all.

More than the others?

Michel or Katkof?

How should I know?

It's funny that we...

should come to this.

Just live without questions.

Women can.

Men always ask questions.

Anything wrong?

Something's upset you?

We promised to tell all.

Sure...

sure.

Everything will be fine...

if you always love me.

I do!

That had nothing to do with it.

I hope not.

Other guys and gals are preventive medicine.

We must remember that.

I had Isabel.

Was it good?

So-so.

That's all?

Jealous?

Not even a little?

I'm not wild with joy.

I don't care.

A year ago you'd have clawed my eyes out.

We were silly!

- 7 letters:
1-eyed glass.

- "Monocle".

Come look.

What?

What've you got?

You know I hate that!

Come see something.

How horrible!

That's life.

June 27th.

Mean anything?

Not at all.

You're becoming odd.

You used to remember everything...

dates, big events in life.

I was wrong.

The past is the past.

We don't live for that.

For what then?

What else do we possess?

I'm still young, I prefer the future.

You think the future means youth?

The future means death.

June 27th I told you we were free.

Here are some official science liabilities.

Why hide the Easter Island hieroglyphics?

Why hide 30, 000- y e a r - o I

the secret city of Ptaah...

capital of the MU empire?

Why deny the exact precision of the...

Earth's meridian as related...

to the pyramidal cubit?

Who stifled Abdul Kalifa...

- Who's this guy?

- Habib's friend.

His name? - Rosco.

First or last name?

Last.

He won't say his first name.

His theory is that one's

first name is magic...

...to throttle the imagination

as if afraid of initiatory theses.

A shot of red?

- A genius, no?

- Who?

Rosco.

The very word I was looking for!

You're unfair.

He could make an A-bomb all alone...

without tools.

Don't talk bullshit!

But everyone says so!

Says who? Habib?

His ideas on Mozart are right...

the same as yours!

Any fool finally speaks the truth!

Like a stopped clock!
