Bonjour tristesse Page #2

---

seven, eight, nine, 10...

...96, 97, 98, 99, 100.

Now, the rain from heaven,

if you please.

None left.

You'll have to go in yourself.

Marvellous, Raymond.

It's like swimming in cool velvet.

- Velvet's always hot.

- Cool silk, then.

- Know where I'd like to be this minute?

- Exactly where you are.

You're exactly right.

Hey, out of my way.

There's work to be done.

Look. The lobster lady approaches.

Guess who?

- Marvellous. She really is a good sport.

- She is.

- I'm glad you like her.

- It's easy.

She's fun and she's unpretentious.

I'm glad you scuttled Yvonne Marie

before summer.

I wouldn't have brought her here.

If you'd met her in April,

you would've.

That's why I met her in November.

I would kiss you for the umbrella,

Raymond, but you are in the sun.

- I mixed three lotions in one jar, Elsa.

- Brilliant.

I don't guarantee

they'll stop the peeling.

I'm in no condition

to ask for a guarantee on anything.

All the way down here

I've been brain-rattling.

- Seriously?

- Yes.

Cecile, which would you rather have,

jewels or furs?

Neither.

Jewellery's supposed to be

a good investment.

And of course, you can wear it

all year round.

But furs feel so good under bare feet.

Are you planning another birthday?

No. And I'm not being hinty either.

I was just wondering.

You see, when we go

to the casino Friday night...

I look like a piece

of old wallpaper.

And I win a lot of money again.

Where is my comb?

There might be one

in the pocket of this shirt.

After all, I won quite a bit

last Friday.

And if I win quite a bit this Friday...

Thank you.

You still haven't opened your letter.

I was wondering what I ought

to give myself for a present.

What happens if you lose?

But I never lose, Raymond.

You know that. I can't.

That horoscope Cecile got for me

says I was born lucky and...

Where is she going?

- Will he drown?

- No, of course not, darling.

- What makes you think it's a "he"?

- Why else would she run?

- You all right?

- I'm fine, thanks.

- My, but you're polite.

- I'm sorry.

Need some help?

- May I tie her onto your float?

- Sure. I'll help.

My mother has a house on

the other side of the rocks.

I'm spending my vacation there.

- Vacation from what?

- Law school.

- Do you really mean to be a lawyer?

- Why else go to law school?

Well, one has to do something

until one reaches a certain age.

- One has to prepare for the future.

- I'm preparing.

- How?

- By learning how to have a good time.

That's not a very...

- You're terribly serious, aren't you?

- Yes, I am serious.

- How marvellous.

- Why?

- I don't know any serious people.

- How peculiar.

That's my father there
