Cecilia

---

Good morning, Kan!

Good morning, ma'am!

Nice of you to have come

and got me,

I appreciate it.

If I may say so, ma'am,

it's a pleasure.

How did you know

I was coming?

I simply guessed.

Ah!

You simply guessed it...

by checking

every passing car?

Don't you like me anymore?

Would it make

any difference?

Where are you going?

That's not the way

to the house.

It's the way to mine

and my brothers' house.

Never mention them again.

I've heard enough about

your terrible brothers

as it is!

Yeah! I know!

Three little

troublemakers.

The boss fired...

because

they were peeping...

watching you undress...

hiding on the balcony

to look at you

taking your clothes off!

But there's a catch to it:

You knew it,

and you were deliberately

provoking them...

as you're provoking me!

That will do!

I want you to stop!

I'm not

taking orders anymore.

I just quit...

this very minute!

Stop the car!

No!

Leave me alone.

Oh! No! Please!

Leave me alone!

Oh! No!

Leave me alone!

You bastards!

No!

Oh, please stop it!

No!

No!

Leave me alone!

Leave me alone!

Oh yes!

O h yes!

You see...

you see,

I did lead them on.

Cecilia!

What happened to you,

my love?

I was very worried.

I'll kill them for this!

Andre!

There's something

I've got to tell you!

It's monstrous!

My wife violated by two

filthy pigs!

I didn't tell you all this

so you'd go and turn

the thing into a tragedy.

I don't want you to think

in terms of killing,

of punishing...

of revenge.

We've been married now

for over two years.

You know

I fell in love with you

from the moment

I saw you in Paris.

I left the man

I loved...

And I divorced.

My very dear friend!

I'd like to introduce you

to my niece, Cecilia.

Oh, she'll take

good care of you.

Yes, she adores

plush nightclubs,

and Latin playboys!

It looks like

a very, very nice party!

Yes, and I hope that we're

going to enjoy ourselves.

Ah, Cecilia!

May I present Andre,

son of the departed

Comte de la Motte.

Your father is dead,

isn't he?

Yes.

Good evening, my friend.

You look in

pretty fine shape!

I am, thank you!

Just great!

Never felt better

in my Iife.

Thanks for inviting me,

it's a great party.

Cecilia,

dance with Andre.

Oh, she doesn't look it,

but she's ever so shy.

You're so sweet!

You didn't see Hamlet...

with those dwarfs?

Simply divine!

You mean, you saw dwarfs?

Oh, it was beyond words!

''On s'en fout,

nous on s'aime! ''

What's that mean?

That's another one

that we'll miss, heh.

Come on!

Look at that over there!

- It's beautiful!

- Yes!

Great eh?

And right over there...

is the River Seine!

You want to see

the Cathedral?

Let's climb

all the way up.

All the way up there?

I'll race you!

You better be fast!

You want to bet?

I'll tackle you

flat on your bum

if you dare beat me

to the top!

Look at this!

You know, I think

I've just changed my mind.

Let's go

for a drink instead.

You're a sissy!

And then,

we got married.

And you brought me here...

into your world...

your land...

your life at the embassy.

Weren't you happy?

I was very happy...

yes, very happy!

I was yours -

body and soul,

for two years...

yours alone.

I'd never been faithful

to anybody before you.

The first few months

were marvelous,

deliciously exhausting!

We made love

for nights on end.

Then gradually...

it's true,

our passion died down.

I still love you.

So do I.

Our love

will last forever.

I could never love

another man ever again.

Nor I another woman.

When we made love today,

when I came back,

it felt like it used to,

in the beginning

when we first met.

I came so much,

I thought I'd faint!

And, do you know why?

I'm very conscious of it.

It's because these two boys

made me come so much,

I went mad.

They managed

to bring out in me

an extraordinary

sensuality.

The animal in heat!

Then,

making love with you...

came close to...

absolute happiness!

I desired you

like the first time.

Didn't you notice it?

And, in one single hour,

I gave you...

more love

than I'd even given you

over the past two years!

And I felt no shame

about my body,

which others

had just possessed.

Because genuine love

has nothing to do

with violent,

carnal desire.

Don't you believe so, Andre?

What are you

leading up to now?

I want you

to understand something

which is very important.

Wouldn't it be far,

far better, my love,

if we left our senses

a certain freedom?

You know what I mean...

If we renounced

physical fidelity?

It wouldn't

necessarily mean...

that we would cool

to each other...

or, that we'd grow bored.

Or, that we would become

indifferent to each other.

Do you mean that you've

had enough of me?

Of course not!

Tell me,

over the past two years,

didn't you ever desire

another woman?

Yes, I did.

But we didn't make it.

You want me to swear?

No.

But you were mentally

unfaithful to me.

Now, will you admit it?

Why not just be sincere?

Why not always try

to live with the truth?

It might be better...

far better to admit

that I couId love somebody

with all my might,

but enjoy sex

with another...

And that coming back to

the one you want and love

is the biggest thrill!

Who could have thought of that?

I never hoped

for such a thing.

Ah, I won the race!

I wouldn't mind a kiss

from my loving husband.

I'm sure you'll have

no trouble finding a man
