And with these words,

the big bad wolf flung himself

on Little Red Riding Hood

and ate her.

We see here that young children...

above all, little girls

beautiful, charming and kind...

are mistaken to listen

to what strangers say.

And it's no surprise

that the wolf eats so many.

I say 'the wolf' because

not all wolves are of the same kind.

He is gracious in temper, and silent,

no bitterness, no rage,

who... secretive, obliging and sweet...

follows young ladies

into their houses,

into the lanes.

Alas, who doesn't know

that these gentle wolves of all wolves,

are the most dangerous?"

Do you want to see my eye?

It's beautiful!

It's like a jellyfish.

Adele!

Adele!

Adele, don't run away!

I beg you.

I've had no life since I lost you.

I need you.

Don't abandon me.

Jacques, that's very kind,

but I can't have a relationship with you.

I can't help it.

Why?

The sex was so great.

Yes, that's true. It's very odd.

I can't explain it either,

because I don't like you at all.

Adele, I'm crazy about you.

I ask for nothing.

Just a walk sometimes to talk!

I don't want to see you and talk to you,

because I don't like talking to you.

You have a cellphone.

Give me your number.

Give it to me!

Here's my number.

Let's meet again, without talking.

Give me one chance!

One chance!

I won't speak at all!

Adele, I'm ashamed, forgive me.

I couldn't come to the meeting.

After, I was too afraid you would be angry.

Can't you see I'm busy!

You're disturbing me, get lost!

Adele walks very fast,

she's annoyed.

She sits on a bench distraught,

starts to cry.

She takes her telephone and sends

a first message which says "Bastard. "

And a second which says

"A**hole. "

Then another, "Son of a b*tch. "

And a final one which says

"Go f*** yourself. "

To her great surprise,

she feels better.

Paul answers immediately,

declaring his love once more.

Adele says she doesn't want to see

him again because he makes her unhappy.

Paul answers that this meeting

is the most important thing in his life,

that when he seeks something good

inside himself he only sees her.

He asks her if she agrees to start again

from zero, and finally be happy.

- She answers...

- I want to, but I'm scared.

- He answers...

- Don't be afraid, my Adele.

Until tomorrow.

Rachel is very proud of Adele,

and Adele is delighted.

As for Rachel, she calls back her Italian,

but doesn't insult him.

She says she misses him.

To her great surprise she learns

that the Italian had lost his job,

that he had money problems

and that he hadn't contacted her

because he feared her reaction

but that he very much wanted

to see her again.

Very much wants to see me again!

Can you believe it?

Rachel falls asleep full of hope

and Adele full of desire.

It's me, Paul.

Paul.

Oh, Paul.

I waited so long for this moment.

Me too.

- What are you doing?

- Shh!

Don't be afraid.

I'm here.

Come here.

Take off your stockings.

Can you take off your panties?

Do it.

Pull your dress up a little.

I want to see your p*ssy.

Just a little.

Please.

Touch yourself.

I can't. I've never done that.

That's good, keep going.

Paul?

Paul.

- Hello, Pierre?

- Adele?

- I have to see you right away.

- Come over, I'm here.

Come in quick.

Girls aren't allowed in the dorm.

Pierre, I'm in

a strange situation.

I met someone and I think

we fell in love at first sight,

but I'm afraid.

So far, nothing strange.

Feelings are difficult.

But this is different.

I can't say what it is.

I don't understand what's happening.

- Do you want me to ask you questions?

- Yes.

- What's his name?

- Paul.

It's him you were meeting

when I saw you the last time?

Yes.

- And that day, he came?

- No.

- Did he give you an explanation?

- Not straight away.

- And you were angry with him?

- Not immediately.

But later,

when he gave you the explanation?

I was furious,

but you couldn't tell.

And what did you do?

- You insulted him?

- I sent him insulting messages.

And when you insulted him,

he did the same?

He begged me to see him again.

You saw him again?

Yes.

It was nice?

It was disturbing?

You kissed?

You made love?

But you did something.

He touched you?

He asked you to touch yourself?

You did it?

You liked it?

Pierre, when I took off the blindfold

he was gone and I was all alone,

half-naked in the park.

You were blindfolded?

It was in the park?

Pierre, I'm so ashamed!

No need to be ashamed.

It's a very erotic situation, exciting.

You went along with it

because you trusted him.

So it's not bad, then?

No.

You're right.

I should trust him more.

Darling, I miss you...

It's him! Look.

I mustn't be afraid.

He's different, that's all.

Don't get too involved either.

You know how to write

"Darling, I miss you" in text message?

Do you want a glass of water?

- No no.

- No biscuits, you're sure?

Yes, thank you.

Darling, I miss you.

Pierre.

Pierre, you're much too young for me.

We could never have a relationship.

Thank you, Pierre.

I feel much better.

- I want to make love to you.

- Me too, so much.

Did you like it, that time?

Yes, a lot.

Adele, you turn me on so much.

- I think about you nonstop.

- Me too, nonstop.

Adele,

I want to ask you something

but I don't dare.

Yes, go on, ask me.

No, I'm scared you'll make fun of me.

I'm not like that.

Who do you think I am?

Adele,

I want you to sleep with another man

while thinking of me.

I did it.

I don't believe you.

You're lying.

I want you to really do it.

I can't do it. It's you I want

to sleep with, you I love.

"You don't love me. I'm sad.

I believed it. "

- Hello.

- Hello, Jacques, it's Adele.

- Adele, is it really you?

- Jacques,

I have to see you.

I can't resist...

the call of your body.

I knew it, where are you?

The cafe at the park.

I'm coming!

Quick, come on.

- Where are we going?

- You'll see!

Oh, Jacques.

Stop, stop it!

- But why?

She's watching me!

There's, that's all fine.

Oh, Jacques.

Oh, Jacques!

Come on, Jacques, hurry up!

My cousin will be back any minute.

Quick!

Here.

Off YOU go!

Thank you very much.

I really wasn't on top form.

Yes, it was fabulous!

Really.

- You're angry with me, no?

- No, not at all.

Thank you, goodbye.

"That's it. I've really done it. "

"How can I believe you?

You already lied to me once. "

What?

"I don't trust you anymore. "

"That's not fair.

I did it for you, for love!"

"I don't believe you.

You're playing with me.

I never want to see you again. "

"Paul, I beg you, believe me. "

- Are you okay?

- Yes.

- "Where were you?"

- "At home. "

- "Were you thinking of me?"

- "All the time. "

- What are you doing?

- Nothing.

I don't feel very well.

I'm going to bed.

Already! It's super-early.

You don't want any dinner?

"Darling, I believe you.

I want you to do it again

with him in front of me.

You're so beautiful. I just want to see you

once before you are entirely mine.

I know you find that strange,
