Is not that better?

Okay. Awarded.

Affection without passion.

Promise!

Affection without passion.

Sounds like a slogan

for elections.

You are exquisite

although a little crazy.

Patty O'Neill.

You are very Irish.

Dad was born in Brooklyn,

but Irish parents.

It has real angers of Irish.

What is he doing?

- He's a cop.

Currency of 10 dollars?

Does not it bother you to go?

At all.

- Without fear?

No fear!

Not

I doubt your manhood.

Leaving that aside ...

- Men are weird.

They are upset

that they be trusted.

But why

do you trust him?

I believe honest man.

Women feel these things it.

I want my three daughters

feel it too!

Thank you. To that

I just learned,

a psychologist

I would pay 25 dollars.

As better than it not gene you.

- That what bothers me?

In general, men

hate virgins. Not you.

Many women

went home?

I do not remember.

The elevator boy

he frowns?

The elevator boy

is an electric button.

It was Cynthia.

- You said it was over.

For me, it's over.

- She had a determined look.

This way.

Excuse me.

Hi, Mike.

Not tonight. I go out.

Weekend?

Okay.

A later.

Who is Mike?

- A friend of mine.

Are you angry?

- No. Why?

You hang up so fast.

I had nothing to tell him.

I could not dine with him.

You could chat.

I always chat with my friends.

I have no doubt.

Or will you put her photo?

With my winter socks.

Who wrote it?

BASTARD!

Probably the maid.

Why

she would treat you bastard?

I do not give him tips.

Needles.

You will what? Martini?

I just want a little lemonade.

- I'm sorry, I do not have lemon.

Too bad,

I confine myself to an olive.

An olive.

Give me your jacket.

Where is the button?

Jacket ...

Button.

A Picasso litho.

Like it?

No, I find it appalling.

If your apartment was to me,

I embarrassed.

Me, I love it.

- Put it in the room?

She is well and she stayed.

What love cooking!

If you saw our oven!

Vicki argues that the date of the flood.

This is my room-mate.

And mill waste!

Vicki marry anyone

for a kitchen with grinder.

The martini, you do not like?

I liked it but I do not drink any more.

Why?

It is posh drinking

when you do not feel very.

I can take off my shoes?

- Remove what you want.

You have pretty feet.

- Thank you.

Do you have a mistress?

A mistress? Is not

expression a bit dated?

It's old fashioned but explicit.

Did you?

You ask these question?

You are single

and you seem at ease.

Most singles

have one.

We do not ask people

suddenly they have a mistress.

Me, though. It saves time.

We always know sooner or later.

Did you?

Actually, no.

- So much the better. I'm happy.

Why do not you?

You are not obliged to answer.

I think maybe

it's posh to have a mistress

when you do not feel very.

It is very fair.

And Cynthia ...?

- It was not my mistress.

I did not say that.

- You were going to say.

You're really

any more engaged?

Any more.

She is very cute.

It has a nice chin.

Home, everything is nice.

- So she was your mistress!

No, nothing of the sort!

If you say

that everything is beautiful in it is ...

Sex great concern to you.

Me?

- Yes, you.

You really believe that?

You ask

if you want to seduce you,

if you like virgins,

if you have a mistress.

If sex does not concern you ...

That may be true.

But it is better than I am

qu'occupe concerned with sex.

Now that you actually two.

It started to rain.

When you broke up with Cynthia?

It happened last night or this morning.

Between.

That is why

she wrote "bastard"?

You did not believe in the right?

- Not for a second.

It makes you much trouble?

- You think so?

I asked you if you loved

and yet you hesitated.

She has left a void in my heart.

- Why did you break up?

You ask too many questions.

I'm sorry.

It is not by indiscretion.

I am interested in people.

My God!

What time is it?

8:
35 p.m.. Why?

- My sketch has spent 20h.

A TV?

- I turned veiled weeks.

What a pity!

- Too bad. He returns at midnight.

We look.

- No. I'll be in my bed.

But look at it.

Midnight, the 4th string.

Now go to dinner.

- Okay. Let's go.

You will be soaked

not waterproof.

Do not go. Dine here.

I am good cooker.

But I do not

excellent food!

You something.

Would that remains?

I focus very much remains.

Like the marineau?

- Excuse me?

Based on herring fillets.

Did you?

- I would not want to have.

Do not say that.

It is delicious.

The only thing

vaguely edible here

this is cheese

I was sent a Christmas.

It's blue!

- It turns blue.

You never eat here?

Not surprising

you are unhappy!

I'm not at all unhappy.

How sad!

Love this kitchen unused

and this beautiful glacier

and the oven.

And mill

nobody uses.

It is a cry.

You are the strangest girl

I know.

You know me hardly.

- It does not mean anything ...

I think we would do well

not to mention both.

Why?

Because it should not.

That's all.

Why?

In case you have a crush

to one another.

It would be boring?

Yes, having approached me, you

always wondering questions.

How about?

About those who could

accost me before you, as you.

I am already asked.

It happens to you often?

Once and doubt intrudes.

- My doubts were dispelled.

Doubts may dissipate

but they come back.

You built?

No. I want to build one day.

This is just one project.

Charming. But you will not find

ever such trees.

They exist. I field.

One day I will build the hut.

The room?

Three windows. A large fireplace

or you can do a roast beef.

In a room, it would be funny.

Branch of the oak

be 60 cm from the balcony.

If I had such a tree,

I live it.

When I was a kid ...

Do you like children?

I can not see them.

You find the world too rotten

in order to give birth to children?

Children are not born

they cleanse the world?

I had not thought of.

Enough to think.

And dinner?

You want to prepare here?

What to do with a piece of cheese?

I have a waterproof,

I can go to the grocery store.

This would be perfect!

I love to cook

but this is rarely a man.

I live with a girl.

- You relieve me.

Who is concerned about sex already?

- Okay ...

What does it buy?

- I'll make a list.

Leave me alone.

I want to think about everything.

I registered all except

commodities. Do it alone.

Hold.

Well, what do you expect?

I do not want to introduce myself

elections with your slogan.

"Affection without passion."

For me ...

You are not passionate

but hungry. Go to the grocer.

I'm faster than lightning.

Put boots.

It's pouring.

I never wear these ...

Put them!

- Do not order me!

This is my maternal instinct

speaking.

How old are you?

- 30 years, why?

30 years! Let's see.

Half, it's 15. 7.

22! It's great!

It just falls!

What?

It is said that the woman must have

half the man's age plus 7.

What a woman ... What man?

- Nothing ... Go ahead.

I will report what it takes

for breakfast.

Do not you worried, Vicki.

He is an architect.

It has a beautiful apartment,

in 79th Street.

His name is Don Gresham
