who really understand. This is true, Mark.
Let me show you something.
- Comment?
- A little experiment to prove what I say.
You'll find it interesting.
Just close your eyes.
- Ohhh...
- No, me on, close your eyes.
But promise to keep them closed
all the time.
OK.
- Are they closed?
- Oui, monsieur.
Good. Now I want you
to imagine something.
Can you remember the way
the table is laid out?
Do you remember the knives by the plates?
The steak knives with the serrated edges?
Do you know serrated?
A dozen razor-sharp little notches
on each blade.
What sharpness.
They go through steak just like...
(snaps fingers) ..that.
Now I'm picking one up...
and I'm looking at it.
I daren't even touch it with my finger...
because the slightest pressure...
would make a cut.
I'm going to bring the knife closer to you.
I'm reaching out across the table
and I'm holding the knife
very close to your fa.
The blade has the finest, thinnest...
cutting edge imaginable.
If you were to move your fa
just one eighth of an inch,
it would slice through your cheek just like...
(Gasps)
Only an ice cube.
- But I felt...l felt...
- What?
- The blood.
- You thought I would cut your fa.
But anybody would, mm. (Sobs)
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done it.
It was only a joke.
- Will you forgive me?
- I was so frightened.
It's only a joke.
- In that drawer.
There's all these saucepans yet. Leave it.
- No.
- Let's leave it.
- Why?
- Because I want to...
(Mocking) "To get back to my wife".
Oh, that mas nasty. I'm sorry.
Let's do it before Froggy gels home.
She won't be beck yet.
She's got a big yearning for that writer.
- Who's he?
- Some dishy number from the Escort pally.
- Hey, what's this?
- What's what?
- It's a fuse!
- Tony.
I can't fix it, I'm useless with my hands.
You're kidding.
(Bowl smashing)
- You'll have to pay for that.
- But not for this.
Thank you.
What for? The kiss or the dinner?
Both. Everything.
It has been so wonderful.
I have enjoyed it so much.
What an unusual ring.
Let me see. What does it say?
M...E...D.
Mark E. Desade.
Mark E. Desade.
- What's the matter?
- Oh...
it just sounds a little like something else.
Mark E Desade - the Marquis de Sade.
You know.
No. Who is he?
(Chuckles) Nobody. You coming in?
Won't we disturb your flatmate?
No. She has her room and I have mine.
No. Not tonight.
I must do some writing.
But...won't I see you again?
- This weekend, if you're free.
- Oh! (Giggles) Yes, please!
I'd like to take you to visit my parents,
meet my mother.
Oh, Marky, you are so funny.
And so old-fashioned!
I thought you didn't like me.
