La grande sauterelle Page #4

---

A kind of ocean?

- I was expecting that one.

- A whorehouse.

Exactly.

She's transposing. Just as I do.

A worthy student.

Yes. The biggest whorehouse

in the world.

Flowers and whores are turning

in the evening's air...

Young man, there's between

Caroline islands and Leeward islands,

the most incredible selection

of flowers and girls.

A rainbow of corollas and butts.

Mayflower...

Savannah rose...

Orchids for Miss Blandish.

I hope, young man,

that you like whores.

Gideon !

Just asking!

Thanks.

Whore is inseparable

of the things of the sea.

She gives the pox to the sailor

but she embellishes his conversation.

You don't like it.

It's bitter.

I'm out of vanilla.

Have to go to the Chinese's.

The grocer.

I understood.

If we were

in a respectable place

either than in this country,

I could had serve you some punch.

Do you know what the Oceania is?

A bordello!

A bar!

The biggest bar in the world.

They're serving rum in soup tureen.

Once, I took a seven years long bender.

I'll tell you about it.

That's a story she doesn't like.

Tell about the night

you gamble your boat.

Or about the day you killed the lion...

- The lion?

- Yes, the lion.

That's a terrible one.

I was rather hunting leopards.

Winchester 32 with explosive bullets,

it's not my cup of tea!

I'm hunting with an assegai.

Was it an appointment with destiny

or an attraction between wild beasts,

I don't know but the lion and I...

Crack! Face to face,

as they say on TV.

Him, with his claws,

myself with curare.

Instinct versus intelligence.

I like Gideon,

his head is always full of lions,

schooners, parrots...

- And he's selling nougat.

- On top of that!

And he's a born liar!

- Everybody lies.

- More or less.

More or less well. Him, it's pretty.

I'm expected, there's an arabian barbecue.

Want to come along?

I've got an appointment

at the casino.

Keep a lamb chop for me.

Okay.

You're one hour late, what's wrong?

Nothing. He won't make more than

50 or 60 grands, it's not for tonight.

It's about being patient, as you said.

What if he gets lucky now?

All right, I go back there.

Alfred, I love you.

You feed me, you give me a bed,

and you make me laugh.

He's at least at 17.

They're gonna strip him off.

That's enough, I'm out of here.

We're losing our time.

I waited for an hour in front of the hotel.

Where were you?

At the swimming pool.

Let's go by the beach.

The pool, now the beach,

you really like water.

- Hello?

- Hello, yes.

I have a bath and see you in 30 mn.

Where are we eating?

I'm not having lunch.

I go to the beach.

Again? You've became some kind

of aquatic robber?

Hello? What's happening?

Hello?
