Diabolique Page #2

Synopsis: The wife and mistress of a cruel school master collaborate in a carefully planned and executed attempt to murder him. The plan goes well until the body, which has been strategically dumped, disappears. The strain starts to tell on the two women as a retired police investigator who is looking into the disappearance on a whim begins to think that they know more than they are telling, and their mental state is not helped when their victim is seen, apparently alive and well by one of the pupils.

He's never gonna leave you alone.

Does he leave me alone?

- If I give him the school...

- He'll just sell it.

Where will the future

Lee Harvey Oswalds come from?

Anyway, he's not

the one that won't let go.

What do you mean?

I mean, you still want him...

...or you wouldn't keep

sleeping with him.

It's not love. You don't love people

who treat you this way.

Where'd you get that, off a talk show?

I'm not surprised he likes to come

to me after he sleeps with you.

I don't care. I hate him.

I don't feel anything.

"I don't feel anything. "

You don't feel anything?

How about when he does this?

Do you feel anything...

...when he does this?

You don't feel anything?

He doesn't do that to me.

Don't lie to me. We won't

get anywhere if you start lying.

I know it's me. It's my fault.

- It's not your fault.

- I know.

Snap out of it! It's not your

fault, it's his. He is who he is.

He'll keep being who he is and doing

what he does and do it and do it...

We'll never be free until he's dead.

He's my husband, Nicole.

Well, last week he was happy

to stand by and watch you die.

Pull yourself together.

You'll scare him away.

He parks there

so the neighbors won't see him.

- He'll come in the back.

- You're going?

I'm going to keep the neighbors busy.

I need 10 minutes.

Okay?

Okay?

Courage.

Make yourself one.

I want you to hear what I'm saying.

I'm serious.

Mia's serious.

Give me the goddamn drink.

It's for your own good.

I'm easier to handle with

this in me, right?

Right.

It's a little cloudy.

Whatever.

Do you want to talk or just stare?

The lawyer says I can divorce you

and keep the school.

- I inherited it before we married.

- You put me on the title.

You need me to sign a quitclaim deed.

He didn't mention that?

What's the matter?

Are you all right?

What?

What were we talking about?

The title.

- I'm on the title.

- I'll buy you out.

I could get a loan.

You give me the school,

and I'll give you a divorce.

I didn't have to get married

to have lousy sex.

No, I did.

Come on.

Have a drink with me.

What did I ever do to you?

What did I do wrong?

Try living with an angel.

It's easier living with a dog.

I'm not your dog.

Did you do something to your hair?

You did something to your hair.

Let me make you feel good.

Isn't that nice?

- You don't want to split up.

- You don't love me.

But you can't let go.

- What was that?

- Something on TV.

Oh, you're so good, Bijou!

That was her alarm bark.

It's like her stranger bark,

only a little bit higher.

That doesn't sound very good,

that kind of noise.

Why don't I just turn up

the TV a bit?

We just heard from Tim and Tracy...

...married less than a year...
