My advisers tell me that it
is on the point of collapse
and that I should tear it down and erect
a large ugly apartment house in its place.
That'd be too bad.
After seeing it tonight,
I'm inclined to agree with you.
Miss James,
I hope you won't think
that a simple landlord
is being presumptuous in telling you
that he likes your paintings very much.
Not at all.
In a small way, I am
something of a collector.
I have a friend who runs a gallery
Monsieur Patrini, of the Maeght Gallery.
I know the gallery.
Would it be too much to ask if I could take
two or three of your canvasses to show him?
I guess not.
Thank you.
Don't move, Guy.
Forgive me for having taken up
so much of your precious time.
Goodnight, Mademoiselle.
I can't stand people like that.
Fancy! Fancy!
He took your three worst paintings.
I think he took the three best ones.
CHRISTINA:
Renoir.Matisse.
Picasso.
James.
You haven't said a word for 15 minutes.
Is anything the matter?
I have decided.
The time is ripe.
We have reached the inevitable moment.
What are you talking about?
Tonight we become lovers.
I have borrowed the key of the
apartment of a friend of mine.
He has gone to visit his
family in Tours for the night.
It is just around the corner.
Please, don't say any more.
Why? Have I shocked you?
No.
But you must have known that
finally, one day, we would...
Well, yes.
But I don't know, it's so abrupt.
Abrupt?
But I have seen you nearly every
What are you accustomed to?
I'm not accustomed to anything.
You know that.
Please, let's not talk about it anymore.
Not tonight.
But I have the apartment for tonight.
My friend may not go to
Tours for another year.
Don't look like that.
Maybe some other time.
I warn you,
next time it will have to be you
who will make the advances.
I will make the advances.
(NO AUDIBLE DIALOGUE)
Guy. Finally!
I'm freezing to death out here.
Come on, let's go someplace warm.
Guy, I've got some good news for you.
The Baron bought two of my paintings.
Did he? Congratulations.
That's a pretty icy congratulation.
Is it? Mademoiselle, je vous flicite.
Do you prefer that?
No, I don't.
Look, Guy, I have to tell you something.
I can't go to the theater with you tonight.
What do you mean?
You've been saying you wanted
to see this play for a month.
I have the tickets. They cost 3200 Francs.
I know. I'm sorry, I just can't go.
Why not?
Well, the Baron left word with Mr.
Patrini in there.
He wants to talk to me about my paintings.
What's that got to do with our
going to the theater tonight?
He wants to talk to me at dinner.
