That you can do anywhere,
anytime, to anybody.
But if you want a little warmth, a shoulder
to cry on, a smile to cuddle up with...
...you have to hide in dark corners
like a criminal. Pfui!
- I wouldn't call that love.
- Spoken like a petit bourgeois.
It's flagrant vice
and must be stamped out.
My dear boy, your thinking is not
only fuzzy, it's economically unsound.
And I know what I'm talking about.
I used to be professor
of economics at the Sorbonne.
- A professor?
- For six years, but that's another story.
Then you should agree decent citizens
have a right to be protected from this.
Let's take one, married for 20 years,
works hard all day selling baby carriages.
In the evening he wants
a little fun, companionship.
So he comes to Rue Casanova. He meets
a girl, she gives him companionship...
...he gives her money.
She gives it to her boyfriend...
...the boyfriend spends it on drinks,
on cuff links, at the racetrack.
Sometimes he even pays
a little money to a policeman.
- Bribe a policeman?
- That's the beauty of it.
The policeman takes it and buys
a baby carriage from the decent citizen.
Thusly, money is kept in circulation.
Everybody's prosperous,
everybody's happy.
- I don't believe it.
- It's elementary.
policemen who take money.
Oh, not all policemen take money.
Some of the higher-ups have a more
intimate arrangement with the girls.
Well, there's one policeman
around here who isn't corrupt.
You wouldn't know the number
of the police station, would you?
Central 5288. But I wouldn't be
so impetuous if I were you.
Have your Vichy.
Desk sergeant? It's Officer Patou. I want
a police van sent to the Hotel Casanova.
Violation of section 34
of the criminal code.
Not littering the sidewalks, that's section
43. This is lewd and immoral conduct.
There goes another couple.
I'm gonna raid the place.
You're asking for trouble, my friend.
To be too honest in a dishonest world is
like plucking a chicken against the wind.
You'll only wind up
with a mouthful of feathers.
Don't worry, old man.
I know what I'm doing.
- Do you have a fire alarm here?
- Oh, a fire?
Oh, yes. It's right over there.
Yes, Officer.
Oh, it's in perfect working order.
Wh... wh... where is the fire?
Right here.
Oh, no, that's hot! It's hot!
Oh, no, you don't. You're under arrest.
All right! All right, everybody.
Everybody, the party's over!
- Girls on this side, men over here.
- Hey, what is this?
- A raid.
- On a Monday?
- It's supposed to be every other Friday.
- Can I go and get my stockings?
- No. Come on.
- You oughta pay me half.
- It wasn't my fault.
- I don't know what she's talkin' about.
