Pleasure Party Page #3

---

- I want to talk!

- Tomorrow. I'm sleepy.

Tomorrow it'll be something else...

errands, friends, Lord knows!

We'll talk now!

I'm already asleep.

You should've come home earlier!

Listen, we made an agreement but...

you're ignoring it. It wasn't...

a question of parallel lives.

It was to bring us closer together.

But it's to fight me that you got a job...

see your pals...

and go into idiotic philosophies!

Listen to me!

Or I'll throw water on you!

The alarm's set for 7.

Elise is due at the...

dentist's and I'm no nanny!

What bugs me...

isn't your little friends but that...

you swallow their crap!

Hear me?

You must be a real fool.

It's upsetting...

to realize I wasn't smart enough

to educate you.

That's it!

You, you, always you!

You come home at dawn!

You ignore your child!

All you care about is yourself and...

your lousy friends...

because they flatter you and yet...

I'm the egoist!

People do change.

I've changed.

How about that!

Either you're a hopeless schmuck or else...

you're not and don't need to change!

I warn you. If we part...

it's for good.

We'll never meet again.

Understand?

Get up! It's time!

Make the coffee!

Madam's begun to think...

all by herself!

"I'm a free woman!"

"I've untied the umbilical cord of Wisdom. "

- Come dance!

- Shut up!

"I'm Bergier... Pauwels,

Bouvard and Pecuchet. "

"My new job is...

high priestess in Egypt or Tibet...

depending on the day. "

"I predict the future as Bovary the Hick!"

Have a drink, Hick!

Poor schmuck!

You're going a bit too far!

I'm fed up with her crises!

She's not 18 anymore!

You won't help her this way.

F*** off!

What a pile of bullshit!

I'm fed up!

So sorry to wake you, dear!

Come get washed.

Sorry for yesterday but...

you were a bit much.

Have fun, but keep it under control!

How can we always "keep it under control"?

That's what we want to prove!

It's not an order but you shouldn't see...

Zoroaster, Habib and Co. So often.

That'd help a lot.

You've stopped being you.

It's like a madness!

Who's he?

Aristide Bruant.

Who was he?

A singer.

And him?

Landru, a murderer.

He killed people.

Is that nasty?

Usually. However, at times...

Mama's nice to you?

You're sad she has a job?

She takes you out?

You meet her friends?

Who does she see most?

All of them!

Michel?

Katkof?

Habib?

Rosco?

Who's Rosco?

A small guy...

dark, serious, with big calf eyes.

A magus.

What's a magus?

A man who tells you everything,

what to do and...

not do, how to eat your soup, everything!

- We've met?

- A man who knows everything?

Absolutely.

Once at your house in the country...

and again a week ago with...

Annie, Katkof and some others.

Of course! Sit down!

You're Sylvia.

Yes, Sylvia Murdock.

Your daughter?

You're lucky.

Sorry to be so familiar.

You're the same way with old ladies?

It has caused problems.

Sorry for the other night.

I yelled at Esther. I was a bit drunk.

So was I.

The result wasn't the same.

I'm ashamed.

No...

it's normal.

I was married 3 times.

We argued day and night.

One explains the other.

Want a drink?

A Pastis.

Could I have your phone number?

Give me yours.

American?

No, I'm English.

I've had 2 French husbands.

I've been here a long time.

Why're you staring at me?

You look so serious.

Me?

I'm always screwing things up.

That happens to me as I get older.

When I scrutinize a face,

it makes me laugh.

Why'd you yell at her?

Esther? For lots of things.

Always talking of freedom.

It goes with guitar playing.

Thanks, darling.

Afraid of crabs?

Still afraid of crabs?

I'm not fond of them.

And spiders?

The same.

At least you haven't changed there!

Mama, I can't do it.

I'll help you.

These females who talk...

of freedom and dignity, yet are afraid...

of a lizard or a butterfly!

You think that's adult!

Don't blubber when I talk to you!

We were raised differently!

When you finish, maybe I can piss in peace!

Can I sleep with the cards?

If you want, sweetie.

Give me a kiss.

In 2 minutes.

You cheated. A minute is 60 seconds.

You must count to 120.

Stop! You make me nervous.

Tell me a story?

Tomorrow. I'm very tired tonight.

I know you're in there!

Open up or I'll smash the door!

Alright!

Esther, get up!

Or shall I help you?

Esther, there's no sense in hiding.

Get dressed!

OK, but go outside.

Scared we'll see you naked?

He and I know you by heart!

Don't humiliate her.

It's not the best way to win her back.

That's unimportant.

I want to save her soul.

I don't care if she fucks but...

I don't want her destroyed.

I destroy nothing.

I don't mean only you.

Weak minds aren't allowed to make errors.

She sides with Korzybski who claims...

to refute Aristotle but...

she hasn't read either one!

She runs down Descartes because you all do.

It's in and you're all conformists

who don't even...

know what he meant!

That's dangerous!

The world's changed.

How?

We don't really need to "know".

We live.

OK, but in that case, you shut up!

What's she up to?

- Sorry for the door.

- Me, too!

I want to sleep.

Nobody wins in this mess.

Nobody wants to, I hope.

I've got to talk to you.

I know.

But make it the last time.

Mind my smoking?

Yes, but if that helps you...

Don't talk to me that way.

I'll do as I please.

I'll make my own terms!

I'm listening.

We'll begin again.

OK.

No more wise men, thinkers...

and no more Habib.

Yes or no?

Yes.

You work, sleep around as you wish...

but at 7:
00, you're here!

OK.

And look after Elise whom you now neglect.

That's a lie, but I accept.

And you'll look after me, too.

OK. Is that all?

That's it.

Then go to sleep.

Not so fast.

Sh*t, have we made up or not?

We've made up.

Then kiss me.

That's nice.

You love me, I love you.

That'll show the gossips!

Good. Let's sleep now.

Let's make love.

Let's make love!

OK, let's make love.

Stop!

Lousy whore! Slut!

Shitty peasant c*nt!

Say you're sorry or I'll kill you!

I'm sorry.

You want your kicks! Fine!

Lick it for me!

Lick it or I'll kill you!

May I come in?

You have a nice place!

How'd you find me?

I phoned and asked the maid.

Sit down.

Want a drink?

Good idea.

Sorry, the fridge is on the blink.

I don't mind.

Would you...

like to marry me?

Yes.

Me, too.

It is a bit warm.

Sorry.

You and Esther aren't together?

She's left.

It was becoming a nightmare.

Are you sad?

No, I can breathe now!

Where is she?

I don't know. Disappeared!

And your child?

I put her in a home for now.

Old Louise went back to her village.

All I got is my shirt and a toothbrush.

Free at last!

What does Esther say about it?

How's she managing?

I don't know.

I haven't seen her.

Straight!

It's a terrible thing to say but...

we weren't from the same social class.

That's bad?

Not at first, but later we didn't...

speak the same language.

A leopard can't change its spots.

That means what it says.

I got married, like an idiot.

I didn't give a damn.
