Yes, I approached.

But she's nice.

Quite agree.

Absolutely delicious.

So ... What is

the story of the whip?

My daughter came to 10am.

Correct.

- She was with you!

She spent the night here.

- It claims ...

It lies. I have not touched.

And I doubt she told you ...

She says that ...

- She lies!

Stop screaming:
"She's lying."

Let me finish my sentence.

Let me quote

what she said.

Go.

This morning I had lunch buffet,

Finally I took aspirin,

When Cynthia arrived

in evening dress.

I was suffocated.

It is already home late,

a 2, 3 or 5 in the morning.

But never at 10am.

Continue.

I questioned,

she told me she had slept here.

Without prevarication. Like that.

I was suffocated.

You've already said.

- It was not the same suffocation.

When my daughter told me she

had stayed here, I told him:

What? Yes!

I told him:

"Small,

you would not have done that! "

Or something of the same kind.

Morality is not my forte.

- What did she say?

She said:

"You're right, it was a mistake."

Then she spun in her room

and took a shower.

And you went to seek a whip.

- You are misplaced joke.

My daughter has just said

that you had offended.

She did not say anything more specific?

She did not say it:

"It offended me."

And she repeated.

It lies.

I have not touched. Believe me.

There I have an idea.

This may be just the

offence you made it.

I understand

she was angry.

It is very humiliating.

I should correct you.

Wait till I understand.

I deserve the whip

for not having seduced your daughter?

It is a new aspect of the problem.

Who is this?

Let me pass!

Do not do it!

This is Cynthia.

It is still the?

Do not be innocent. I saw.

She opened the door.

Who is this peasant?

I'm stage,

remain civilized.

Civilized?

I am civilized!

The proof

the message on the mirror!

If you treat her like me

also write on your ice cream.

If she can write!

And what you said this morning,

you would not make ...

How dare she?

- She looks like her mother.

Let me pass!

- You'll have to go over my body.

Your daughter hates to say no

and hate those who say no.

I do not doubt your word,

but I do not understand what

happened between you and why?

I'll explain.

We went to dinner

and theatre.

Around midnight,

I brought you home.

I said goodnight at the door

and came here.

5 minutes later, she arrived.

She had found thee,

drunk and with a young woman.

She was young, indeed.

- Cynthia found it very amusing.

But it is sad.

And she did not want to go back.

Too degrading?

- In order not to disturb you.

She slept in my room

and me on the couch.

Everyone

was not amused yesterday.

Tell me. In such a case,

why a man

he would sleep on the couch?

Not to mention the scruples

there is a fear of commitment.

But you were not

more or less engaged?

Big difference

between "committed" and "fianc".

Between us, I wanted to keep

initiatives. I thought about it.

You're an intellectual.

When you have the ball, we do not like

lose stumbled into a bed.

I am not versed in football,

but the player is there as referee?

Who called?

- You talk soccer now?

Yes. We talked

a missed attack.

Until now, it's delicious.

No ketchup?

A minute ...

- I'll.

She'll get it.

Can not

let her do it.

Women love to work.

I'll open it.

I have more strength.

Men are packed!

Give me that.

We should have

out the champagne.

Excuse me,

If I had known you were coming ...

And voila.

- Thank you.

But it does not come.

- Neck too narrow, perhaps.

You and your ketchup!

How awkward!

Do it yourself instead.

- I have a better idea.

I'll lend you a dress

room. Take off your dress.

You ruined the evening.

You're amused. If you were leaving?

And leave this poor little

alone with you?

I would!

It was not a good dinner?

- The best I've eaten.

Can not find?

- You want to keep a husband?

My wife was very nice.

She was superb souffls.

I devoured

and I always said:

"Blown Magnifique!"

or "What blew!"

often even "That's blown!"

One hour later

while I was digesting,

she had to say:

"The souffl was good?"

What happened?

- You divorced her.

She filed for divorce.

I had thrown a dish ...

You dare?

Flat blew

stainless steel still hot,

right on the behind.

She had a beautiful blue,

for after his lawyer.

Me, I have not seen.

I do not believe it.

- This is a kind.

You hit women?

- I do not fight women.

I'm belligerent,

but also loose.

You will fight

although a small man.

If it is helpless.

- You are disgusting.

No wonder she divorced.

It's funny

that a woman is married!

Do not I have a strange charm?

Yes, you too charming.

- And it is especially strange.

You're too good.

And my ...

- I want to hear!

For heaven's sake, what do you want?

No way!

If you do not want to ride,

returns this b*tch.

Stop it!

Returns this treasure

and let me down.

No and no!

Under any circumstances!

Very good. Because ...

You're so horrible ... and indifferent,

I'm going to drown

in my bathtub.

Stopped this melodrama!

I am already in the bathtub.

You hear that?

Come, listen, do not ...

No. Hear thou it.

I'll be ready in 2 minutes.

Meet me down

and will take a glass

at Luigi.

Remembering the good old days.

I will not make any stage.

But nothing a minute.

I'm sorry,

but I must go out.

But where are you going?

- I'll be back in 10 minutes.

Do not hold back. It is not

funny. He did not say a word.

Some words have tempted me,

but there is a lady.

You got dressed quickly.

- I have something to tell you.

The maid will.

- No, I like storing.

Cleanliness approach perfection.

Perfection has never tempted me.

- What do you like?

Eat, drink, make love.

In order.

You are not so misguided.

You marry me?

To be a hatchet blow dishes?

I was too glib tongue.

But you're Irish,

you would make me instantly.

Then?

- So what?

Will you marry me?

And if I accepted?

I will not ask for it.

You'd be the last man,

I refuse.

It is a thoughtless response.

If I were alone

with a million women

you would beat hard

to become my wife.

You aspirer has repopulate the world.

- Do not kid yourself.

Your duty to the human race

prevail.

I can not find

the beautiful human race.

And I have no prejudice

against you.

You hear that dog?

- This is the damn dog Cynthia.

The dirty dog! Look!

Finally, a small dog

could not ...

But where are you going?

Remove your shoes.

You will soak.

I did not want

wading the inside.

There is that Eskimos

who are civilized.

Why?

They sell their daughters

a birth.

I would like Cynthia

learn to like you.

You are safe as

you do not marry me?

Very sure.

That is cute!

Rather courant!

- Bring me towels!

They are in the entrance!

As for my marriage proposal,

I'll make you knees

of it will be dry.

You often ask

unknown in marriage?

I have already offered a friendly

cohabitation without marriage.

And not to me?

It is said that girls

are depraved

by runners my age.
