- Divorced.

How come?

My friends told me

that my wife was too good for me,

and after a couple of years

I decided they were right.

Sounds sad.

You say that your boss is in art history.

Is that what you're interested in?

Not really.

I just got this job because I was available.

I was willing to travel.

- Would you like some wine with this?

- Oh, what a question.

We'll have a bottle of the Mouton Cadet,

dix-neuf cent soixante et onze.

Very good, sir.

- You do that very well.

- I give great French.

- He won't talk.

- We gotta find the papers.

Look in his compartment.

So that was your introduction

to high society?

Look, he was very good to me.

He taught me everything

from the pill to Picasso.

What was missing?

- A marriage licence.

- Is that what you want?

I did then.

Right now I'd like some more champagne.

Oh. Shall I get another bottle?

Two.

This place seems to be closing down.

Why don't we take our glasses

and go to our rooms?

We could even open the connecting door.

We could even

break down the whole partition.

- I'll speak to the porter.

- I'll get the champagne.

You were right. It's that motion.

I didn't understand it, but you were right.

Good night.

- Rapist! Va a abusar de m.

- No, no, no, no!

Pardonnez-moi, por favor.

Excusez-moi, madame.

Rape! Rape! Rape!

Santa Mara, Madre de Dios,

ruega por nosotros los pecadores.

Excuse me.

This won't take a minute.

Good.

Excellent. D is all right.

Sorry. Good evening.

Come in.

This is very nice.

- Would you like some champagne?

- Yes.

I can't get over the size of this room

without the partition.

They are small rooms by themselves,

but they're perfect forjuggling.

- For what?

- Forjuggling.

When you practice,

the balls would always bounce off the walls.

Do you juggle a lot?

I know what goes where... and why.

I like that song.

If I ever hear it again,

it'll be difficult not to think of you.

You put that very nicely.

Thanks.

To travelling by train.

Trains that pass in the night.

- You like my new shoes?

- Yes, I do. Why don't you take them off?

Put them in that locker. The porter

will have them shined for the morning.

Really? That's terrific.

- Is that the master's work?

- Mm-hm.

He gave me this copy for safekeeping.

Do you wanna read it?

No.

Slide over.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

Very.

- George.

- Hm?

Do you really edit sex manuals?

I really, really do.

- But I have a confession to make.

- Oh?

- I'm much better at books on gardening.

- Really?

That's my specialty.

Well...

is there anything

that you might wanna pass on?

- You mean about gardening?

- Yes.

Some helpful hints for the beginner.
