Un crime hors de prix Page #3

---

do you understand?

I have to work, Jean.

Calm down.

Do you think you can

go around having a crush?

It's not about that.

I met this woman and

she made me an offer...

Stop it.

I know why you're here.

I'm telling the truth.

You think I don't know

what's going on?

That I don't know that look?

Since I was 12 I've seen that look.

Good morning, Madeleine.

Did you sleep well?

Very well, thank you.

Have you picked something?

Excuse me?

Have you been served?

No, but everything is fine.

Won't you sit down?

Excuse me.

Shall I bring you something?

Not now.

That's nice of you, thank you.

What's going on?

You had a bad dream.

But that's good because

now you're awake.

I know what your color is.

You need something that's blue.

We'll keep the indigo shirt

and the lavender one,

the blue one and

the navy-blue one.

But certainly not those

two remaining ones.

Gilles?

Can you bring me that pink dress?

Yes.

And this one, Jean?

Yes.

It's gorgeous, isn't it?

Yes, I'm trying it on.

So... doing a little shopping?

A little.

And?

It's very nice.

She's the friend I told you about.

She's accepted to help

me for a while.

You don't call me miss anymore?

We have to pick something.

We can't buy 36 shirts.

And I've had enough.

I have to go.

My friend is in a hurry.

Can you spare me 10 seconds?

You look very nice in that shirt.

Thank you.

I'm coming.

I took two. I didn't know

which one you want.

Both.

Of course.

Finally you're smiling.

It's nice to be

well-dressed, isn't it?

Yes.

We're leaving.

Come in, the door is open.

4 days.

What did you get?

Shirts.

Those 4 shirts?

And a pair of jeans.

That's it?

Today morning I had

a wonderful breakfast,

with room service.

And an extra serving of pancakes.

Jean, I can't believe it.

We haven't gone out much.

She's shafted you.

I'll wait a bit.

Wait for what?

That she'll marry you?

Take. Take as much as you can.

A new suit, glasses, shoes.

Take, Jean.

Otherwise what's it for?

Do you have 5 minutes?

I'm free until noon.

No, in half an hour I'm

going to a garden party.

I love such parties.

I'll look around and

maybe pick someone up.

The guy you're with now is no good?

I'm with him for the time being.

Why is that?

He's been divorced 4 times

and pays 4 ex-wives alimony.

He doesn't have much left.

Believe me, you can

find someone better.

- Is she married?

- She's a widow.

You're lucky.

When will you be back?

I don't know.

Will we see each other later?

Of course.

- We're neighbors, aren't we?

- Indeed.

Wombats and other koala bears,

who don't know what fear is,

always find out too late that

they can't defend themselves.

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

How was it?

Very good.

I have a gift for you.

What is it?

Guess.

Excellent, thank you.

I don't know...

A suit?

Glasses?

Shoes?

A bar of gold?

They're beautiful, aren't they?

Yes.

Very beautiful.

She can't treat you like that.

This can't go on.

She has the money.

So what?

You have a soul.

Youth.

Charm.

Make use of it.

Do you think I have charm?

You say that to someone

you don't find attractive.

But charm is more

valuable than beauty.

You can resist beauty,

but you can't resist charm.

Show me how you...

seduce someone.

How I seduce someone?

You must have a trick you practiced

in front of the mirror when you were 15.

No, I don't.

Improvise something.

Come on, start seducing me.

No...

Come on, do it by staring at me.

I can't do it just like that.

Go ahead.

Come on.

I just started.

I'm sorry.

Show me how you do it.

- Show me.

- Alright.

What's wrong Irene?

Nothing.

I...

I had...

I want to...

I'd like to...

What do you want?

What would you like?

This is what makes the

other person go crazy.

Not finishing your sentences.

As if the rest is too painful to say.

Not finishing your sentences

is very effective.

That and looking ahead and afar.

That'll get her.

Look.

I'm here...

and I'm gone.

And you have nice arms.

You should show them.

And you have nice hands.

What is that?

Damn... my watch's alarm.

She finished her meeting.

She set an alarm?

I have to go.

I can't believe it!

You aren't listening to me!

I am.

And?

I can't change everything right away.

I have to go slowly.

Dammit...

Give me that.

I know what to do.

You have to press...

There we go.

Why did you do that?

Because.

That was the end of our lesson

about the secret of womanhood.

Go.

Go or you'll be late.

PLASTIC SURGEON:

This is ridiculous.

You don't need this.

You look very good.

You have no business being here.

Thank you, Jean.

That's nice of you.

I have no business being here,

because I come here regularly.

Hello.

Is everything alright

since your last visit?

Better and better.

Thanks.

Thank you.

I'm really happy with the result.

Me too.

Good.

So what's the matter with that ear?

That guy is the best.

Do you know what I had to do

to set up this appointment?

Do you know how long you have

to wait sometimes for breast surgery?

No. Is that the next procedure

you're planning for me?

Oh come on.

That was nothing.

A single stitch and 20 minutes.

Do you know what you

have to go through sometimes?

I can imagine.

Jean, stop it.

Say something.

This silence makes me anxious.

I want to...

I'd like to...

What do you want?

What?

What would you like?

What do you want?

It's...

It's just...

Jean, look at your watch.

It's broken.

Driver take us to number 63.

The handle is made from shark bone.

Amazing, isn't it?

The bones are dried for 2 years.

It takes one shark to

make one set of cutlery.

Once I'm dead I'll donate

my body to them.

Excuse me.

- Do you have a light?

- Yes.

Thank you.

Do you think they sell it

at the hotel's boutique?

The watch?

No.

The cutlery.

Yes.

Of course.

I'm sorry.

I'll be right back.

Show me it.

Oh my goodness.

A Jaeger-LeCoultre watch.

Do know how much it's worth?

I can't even pronounce

such an amount.

You had a slow start,

but now you're rolling.

All this is white gold.

With diamonds all around.

And there's a diamond

on each number.

And inside there are rubies

and other stuff.

This isn't a watch.

It's a treasure chest.

What did you do to her?

I gave her the silent treatment.

You look nice.

Every rich guy looks nice to you.

You're not rich.

You've barely begun to be rich.

I never could have

expected any of this.

Go first.

I'll follow you.

- Jean?

- Yes?

What time is it?

A quarter to 9.

- It's nice here, isn't it?

- Yes.

I like this place because

it's not pretentious.

It's calm and grand

at the same time.

We have the impression

we're unique, don't we?

Yes.

The handle is made from shark bone.

Amazing, isn't it?

The bones are dried for 2 years.

It takes one shark to

make one set of cutlery.

Good evening, sir.

This is Franois from room service.

I'm sorry to disturb you.

We're unsure of something.

I need to clarify something

concerning your breakfast.

The juice that you ordered.
