Like I said, I made a mistake.

I heard you speaking French.

Often in these big hotels,

you run into women

from foreign countries

who may need a translator or a guide.

And they hire you?

Yes.

How many languages do you speak?

Five or six.

Plus the international language.

That's right.

Well, now,

you're something really special,

aren't you?

You're one to talk.

I saw you sitting here. You wanted me

to come over. I came over.

I know what I see.

How much would you have charged me?

As what? Translator or guide?

No.

Just one f***.

Now, you've made a mistake.

I don't do that.

You don't, huh?

I know what I see, too, Monsieur Kay.

It's been a pleasure talking to you,

Madame Jost.

Don't spoil it. Bonne chance.

Look, mister,

someone's made a mistake here.

I don't do fags.

I didn't mean that.

And I don't do couples, either.

No, no, no. You don't understand.

It's just my wife Judy. Not me.

- Just her.

- Okay.

- But I can watch.

- Of course.

Would you like a drink?

Not yet.

I think I'd like my money now.

Sure. Sure.

- I like to talk afterwards, too.

- Sure.

Hello, Judy.

You're a very sexy lady,

a very good-looking woman.

Very pretty woman.

You're gonna like me.

I can tell.

Because I like you. I like you.

So just relax and close your eyes.

Just relax and let your mind run free.

Don't worry about anything.

I can take care of you.

I know what you want.

That's right. Close your eyes.

Forget about him.

This has nothing to do with him.

This is just you and me.

No, no, no, from behind.

It has to be from behind.

Okay, baby,

just flip over on your stomach.

Just relax. Don't worry.

Leave everything to me,

'cause I'm gonna take care of you.

I'm gonna take care of you.

I'm gonna get you wet.

I'm gonna get you very wet.

I know how to do this.

Now slap her.

Slap that c*nt.

Hey, Leon.

- How you doing, Julie?

- All right.

I want to thank you

for helping me out, Julie.

Finally found Joey holed up

with one of his boyfriends,

just banging away, you know how it is.

Dumb bastard.

Hello, Julian.

- Hi. I'll just have a Perrier.

- Okay.

Okay.

You made quite a hit in Palm Springs.

They want you back.

I'm serious.

They want you to come back this week.

I wouldn't take much, you know. It's...

They're regulars for me.

You lied to me, Leon.

It was a rough trick.

I forgot. You got scruples now, huh?

I don't like playing

the same numbers too often.

They get possessive.

I can't be possessed.

That include Miss Anne?

Anne who?

Boy, I don't know why you fool around

with that dumb b*tch.

I'll tell you why, Leon.

She's got a job coming up for me

in a week.

Eight grand.

Can you get me that?
