Pleasure Party Page #2

---

It's right twice a day!

- Not bad!

- Get us something to drink.

Esther's doing the dishes?

Don't bug Esther about Rosco.

Sorry, but I overheard.

How can she take that clown seriously!

Sh*t! I taught her good taste...

gave her a critical eye and...

now she's in the pyramidal cubit!

Zeus will be next!

But women love that! So be careful!

- Of what?

- Just be careful, Philip!

Don't be a schmuck!

I refuse to shut up.

What're you doing?

Dishes!

They're all plastered!

Right! Me, too!

That's true!

Move over!

Hands off! I'm working!

- I'm hot.

- That's enough! I know you!

I love your ass.

It's a real fistful!

You're a real "sick" one!

How's it stay so nice?

You sure know how to talk to a lady!

Stop! I said stop it!

Don't wiggle so much!

That's the last straw!

And you break my dishes!

The primary freedom is

the absence of desire.

This ritual hand gesture is found...

on statues of the gods.

I untie the bonds of Will.

Bullshit!

Why bullshit?

I say so and I'm always right.

Perhaps not.

- Everyday talk about...

- liberty makes me sh*t...

exactly like pollution...

acupuncture or sociology.

Wanting a thing always

leads to its opposite.

The French freedom revolution

led to passports!

Pour me another!

Listen, my dear friend...

the poor guy who talks of

liberty is scared of his...

mother-in-law...

or tied up in knots!

He wants to change things!

Not really.

Few people really want...

to be free.

When they are... it's not always fun.

Freedom is the anxiety of emptiness...

the responsibility of solitude.

They won't say so but they prefer slavery.

It means security...

with a salary and insurance.

A slave's treated better than a free man.

He's cared for.

He's valuable merchandise.

To live happily, live like lunatics!

Freedom's a pain!

- I think...

- You mustn't!

Even so I think...

Gandhi freed his people.

Come on!

Ever climbed over the

corpses in Calcutta?

Famine, revolt, millions of dead!

Non-violence is lovely!

Gandhi killed more people

than Hitler and Stalin.

A drink?

I will.

You upset him.

Rosco.

I'm delighted.

It wasn't polite.

You claim to be a perfect host.

To hell with that! Do you mind?

Since when did you care what I think!

There's only you, you, you!

Don't look that way!

It's for your own good!

Still my llama?

I'm going up.

Sleeping with Annie?

Why?

If you are, I'll sleep with Habib.

Do as you wish.

Well!

What's wrong?

Time to get cracking!

It's always that way.

You're a bit of a flop, huh?

I don't know what's wrong.

In the kitchen, you were rearing' to go!

- We drank too much.

- Speak for yourself!

Sh*t!

I'm really ashamed.

It's not important.

But I want to!

I don't understand.

Stop playing with yourself!

These things happen!

Forget it!

Anyway, I'm not touchy!

Your heart's beating.

Lucky me!

Quiet! Let me listen!

Funny!

It sounds like soldiers marching.

You scare me.

You're sweet.

I love you.

Liar.

Liar.

I want to love you.

That's not the same!

I wonder...

A body's strange.

How's that?

- Always the same.

- Breasts, a stomach...

thighs...

It's confusing.

And yet...

Sleep well?

Jam from the garden?

Lots of fruit there...

this year except for the prune trees.

- Why?

- They're getting old.

Times are getting tough.

Well, I need bread to go shopping.

The "bread" is in my hip pocket.

Take what you need.

What's that?

A guitar.

Francois got it half-price.

Going to learn?

You say playing an instrument...

helps one think.

About what?

Everything.

Why a guitar?

It's the easiest.

The least effort for the most understanding.

Come see my trees.

What's wrong?

- Why such a face?

- What face!

You don't like it here?

Itd be a pity.

Look, in life everything goes!

Share the females,

wear an omelet as a hat or...

play a guitar but don't

make it a philosophy!

Itd be too stupid to spoil the essential.

What's the essential?

If you don't know, I wonder why we met.

Everything always leads to you.

You make the decisions I only say "amen"!

Someone had to teach me how to live, too!

Let's not be silly!

This one's dead!

Itll cost more than I feared.

Why invest in a thing that barely pays off?

It hardly pays the house!

That's not bad.

We could do better.

You really want to stay here?

But it's our house!

We rent it!

And the rent's high!

There are others nearer Paris...

or in Paris.

I feel as if I was born here.

Elise was 6 months when we moved in!

My memories begin here...

as if my grandma built the house.

You think so?

Itd be better for us both.

We need something else.

We need a change.

Alright?

- It'll be better tomorrow.

- I hope so.

Glad to be moving?

Yes. I can go to school in Paris.

You want to? I wouldn't!

Let's go see Mama.

It's fun to make a change.

We'll act crazy.

You want to?

I'm almost done. Ready?

It's a mess downstairs!

We're going to Paris?

You'll have a new room...

freshly painted, with all your toys.

Brand new?

I forgot my horse!

Your oldest toy!

We'll take it with us and keep it.

I'm selling the orchards.

I'll make you an offer.

I'll give you the dough and be your partner.

A serious job's not your style!

Everything interests me!

After all... why not?

I can always use new money.

Esther wasn't too wrong.

It was nice there but we were in a rut.

There's so much to do in life.

Let's see...

Wonderful! It's fine like that!

Pass me the hammer.

Let me do it!

It's pretty nice here, huh?

Yes.

Big houses are a responsibility.

I was fed up with having

the gang all the time.

Me, too! And the dishes!

Now we can travel a little...

go to Brittany.

Why not spend Christmas in...

Ceylon or Burma?

Want to?

Philip, you won't like this.

I want to work.

Great!

What do you want to do?

Habib has a job for me.

In his music publishing house.

I know lots of people,

so I could do public relations.

See the press, the singers...

It should be fun!

When do you start?

As soon as possible.

We spoke of Brittany.

I start work soon, too.

Why not a trip to get us in shape?

Oh, yes, Mama!

Let's lose no time! We'll go now!

I can't. I've an appointment...

with the upholsterer.

Tonight then!

We'll leave at 7, dinner at Lou...

prawns and Jasnires wine.

Then, St Malo!

Alright.

What time is it?

Is that a lot?

A bit too much.

Will you teach me to play cards?

Go wash up!

Mama will be here soon.

I'll put my hat on.

Who is it?

Quiet! Hello?

Alright... Too bad.

Call me later?

Who was it?

Mama.

She's coming?

She's not?

We're not going?

We'll have fun anyway.

You can watch TV till 10:00!

We'll have a party.

You made it after all!

At least say hello!

Still dreamy?

A light!

Where were you?

A business date?

I was with Francois, Michel and...

some friends at the movies.

You couldn't phone?

You know how it is...

having to wait for a phone booth.

Look at yourself in the mirror!

She's here?

I hate to sleep alone.

I'll put her to bed.

Let's go beddy-bye.
