Diabolique Page #3

As you wish, but l warn you: ifyou

don't get him, he'll get you

l just don't know

Help me, Nicole, please

What's the use?

l shouldn't have trusted you. l'm in

this, too, and you're letting me down

You're right. l'm hopeless, a ruin,

just like he said

But the ruin will do what she has to,

in order to get revenge...

...even if it kills her

lfonly he could know it was me

doing it

You're going from one extreme

to the other

What we need is to be very calm...

calm and cold-blooded

l will be. l swear l will

lt's time l went upstairs

Can't you stay with me?

The Herboux mustn't see him

from the window

-You'll come right back?

-As soon as l can, l promise

Buck up; it'll all be over

in half an hour

We didn't expect you so late

My friend's resting. May l come in?

We were listening to the radio

The play's over. Zapi Max starts

in thirty-five seconds

You have been listening to "One does

not trifle with love", by De Musset

Proud ofyourself?

-Not so loud; the neighbours...

-Don't worry, l shan't make a scene

A man running after his wife

is pretty ridiculous

Sneaking around, hiding from my own

concierge, it's humiliating

l couldn't say where l was going

Well, now you've got me here, go on...

Get your bag

No... l'm staying

You refuse to come back?

l thought you understood:

not till we're divorced

You've decided on a divorce?

With your religious convictions?

l just won't remarry

lt takes two to divorce

-My solicitor doesn't agree

-You have a solicitor?

Matre Berthoux, 64 rue Victor Hugo

Look him up

He told me this morning

l'd have no problems

Going just by your looks?

Funny sort ofsolicitor

l explained, naturally

You told our intimate secrets

to some lip-licking bastard?

You, convent-bred? You know what

l think? lt's disgusting

You told your mistresses, didn't you?

Do we have one secret that

Nicole doesn't share?

Do you believe that liar?

Some things she couldn't make up

She could make up everything.

God knows what she told your lawyer

l'll see him... you can't stop me

Go tomorrow. lt's dinner time...

he won't see you now

He'll see me, all right

There isn't any solicitor.

l lied to you

You, too? lt must be catching

So this divorce business

was just another lie?

No, l want a divorce.

lt's the only solution

For you, too; a divorce

would be best for you

You can't be serious. Do you know how

much it would cost? And the scandal?

l'll have a lawyer to defend me

Once the two get going, parents won't

want to entrust their kids to you

You mean, l'd lose pupils?

You'd ruin your school...

not that l care

l'd have sold it and gone into business

We could have made a nice living

But you insisted on the school
