Bel Ami Page #2

---

best and closest friend.

Get out of my way!

Duroy!

Monsieur Rousset,

you remember Georges Duroy?

Diary of a Cavalry Officer.

Your article was a success.

Write me another.

Put him on the payroll, Forestier.

If you think so.

You'll get

five francs for this article.

Five for the next.

Then 200 a month.

Plus ten centimes a line

for any articles you manage to place.

Here.

Give this to the Chief Cashier.

What's the matter?

Can't believe your luck?

Hello, I'm Laurine, you're Georges.

Please sit down.

Maman will be down shortly.

What's your favourite game?

Tag.

Tag.

Oh, well.

You...

are 'it'.

Who's 'it'?

You are.

I'm going to get you.

Going to get you.

Going to get you. Tag!

- Get Georges.

- Tag.

Off ground.

- Who's chasing who?

- You're chasing us.

It is time for Laurine

to take her lunch.

I want to stay with Georges.

Well, perhaps you'll permit me

to call on you again.

Come soon, Bel am!

Kiss.

"Bel ami. " She never hugs anyone.

I'm so glad you called.

When can I see you again?

I'll come to you.

Tomorrow.

Come today.

Well, I hope you haven't gone to

too much trouble.

- Would you like a drink?

- Yes. Yes, I would.

- I'm a bit nervous.

- So am I.

Do you think it will

take both of us?

Oh.

I'd like to do this again.

I'd like to do this now.

I mustn't come to your room, though.

Anyone might see.

I can't risk a divorce.

I would lose Laurine.

And I don't want to

embarrass my husband.

He's a good man.

Mm.

A love nest is what we need.

A little place we could go

to be alone from time to time.

I would pay for it.

My money,

to spend on me,

on something I want.

What are you reading?

It's a letter from my father.

Every week he puts on his best suit

and goes to the priest

and the priest writes a letter for him.

And every week it's the same thing.

Your mother sends her blessings.

The pigs have diarrhoea.

- When are you getting married?

- Ooh!

- My father's a peasant.

- Mmm.

He's never left his village.

And he's asking me for money.

I'd like to see where you grew up.

I'd like to see you there.

Promise me something.

- Don't bring your other women here.

- Ha!

I don't have other women.

All men have other women.

Not me.

Honestly?

Don't lie to me.

Honestly and truly.

Champagne!

Hello.

I was talking to your friend here.

Georges?

I think you've mistaken me

for somebody else.

So, I see.

Not so friendly after all, are we?

Now that you're not looking for

a cheap f***.

Clo!

Don't you dare touch me!

It was before I knew you.

Clotilde!

All you had to do

was say hello to me.

Who are you to speak to me?

Who am I?

Beggar.

- Rival?

- Yes.

No.

You still owe me 40.
