Heartbeat Page #2

Synopsis: Lucile, 25, is the beautiful mistress of Charles, a rich, good-hearted businessman. Being a kept woman suits her as she refuses to work. She is grateful to Charles for that but she does not feel true love for him. When she meets Antoine, a charming young man of her age, it is love at first sight. But living with Antoine is not as easy as it was with Charles: Lucile is forced to find a job, which she hates. Moreover, she gets pregnant and has to ask Charles for help. After having an abortion, her love for Antoine gradually fades. That is the reason why she comes back to Charles who, full of indulgence, has patiently waited for her.

to give up your freedom.

You're attracted by him.

Well, follow through

with it or not...

whether I know or not.

It's true. I like him.

But it can't be very serious

since we're talking about it.

The key's in the door.

Hello, Antoine.

Hello.

I hope you haven't

read all these.

No I haven't.

Excuse me.

You look happy.

Are you enjoying the party?

It's marvelous,

with autumn on one hand...

and spring on the other.

Everything's just fine.

What a poetic expression to use.

You've never seen the place,

have you?

-Not really.

-Come along then.

This is the dining room.

That's stunning.

What it does for the face is

sheer flattery, you've no idea.

It looks like a sea creature.

It's different, isn't it?

I love it.

How come?

You can hardly make it out.

It's a minor work.

I'll show you the rest.

Go ahead.

I'm right behind you.

This is the patio.

That's delightful.

That's Diana the Huntress,

isn't it?

My husband always loved horses.

It's very nice.

And what kind of animal is that?

A toucan.

Look, a De Stal,

and a lovely one.

Antoine, he was so late,

he changed here.

Why are men

so completely disorganized?

Charles is always so tidy.

Did you notice?

I'm very proud of the Foujita.

Don't you think it's gorgeous?

I'm mad about his work.

-I understand that.

-Tell me what you think.

It's wonderful

to have a terrace.

Yes, but if you know

the headaches I've had...

with the decorator

and the builders.

Of course, I've only been

living here a little while.

-You see? It's lovely.

-Yes, it is.

What a mess. I mean, really!

Your party tonight

is a smashing success.

Whenever Claire begins acting

somewhat perverse...

you know it's a good party.

It's true. How observant.

That's very surprising

because...

I've always thought

that you seemed a bit--

-a bit muddled?

-Exactly.

Do you have a son?

No, it's my nephew.

What are you doing here?

Destre wants to see you.

I'm showing the apartment

to Lucille...

and while I'm at it, I'm

straightening out your things...

because you're such

a disorganized creature.

What about my things?

Let's not exaggerate--

a tie of yours, a razor.

Wouldn't you be annoyed

with a mess like this?

We don't have the same room,

Charles and I.

There you are.

I wanted to show you something.

I'm curious to know what it is.

Let me get a refill.

Did you ever wonder what the

artist's political views are?

I'm frightened by you.

By me?

You intrigue me.

You'll laugh at it,

but you intrigue me.

No, I'm not laughing of you.

You're only interested

in the things that please you.

Am I right?

Don't be ashamed of it.

Good evening.

Lovely to see you.

No, it's admirable.
