Won't she join us?

Yes. For the New Year's party.

Which beauty attracted you here?

It's still a secret.

I thought you were indiscreet.

People flatter me.

I'll give you the victim's name

after she surrenders.

I'll figure it out. I know you very well.

This time, though, it'll be hard to guess.

Excuse me.

The snow is too good to miss.

You might have introduced us,

don't you think?

May I have my mail, please?

Good morning.

- A letter for you?

- Not really...

- What are you holding then?

- Well, a letter.

But it's an error. It's for you.

Yes, indeed.

Thank you.

See you.

I've got to run!

Come see me at the terrace.

- Be careful, my dear!

- I'll be okay.

So, princess, some time today...

- Someone's in a tight corner!

- Brutes aren't my type.

And you, miss? Could you love one?

- She's an introvert.

- No, she's English.

Thanks. I appreciate that.

- What if your mother had seen it?

- A drama.

- As serious as that?

- It's a letter from my fiance.

Why should she object, then?

It's from my other fiance.

- You have two?

- Yes.

True and false?

But the false one is true.

- Who's the false one that is true?

- Danceny.

Young Danceny?

Yes. I love him.

What did Valmont tell you?

That's our secret.

A secret?

A love secret.

Let's break something!

See you in the hospital!

Poor guy.

Need any help?

No, I'm fine.

"I stopped briefing you on my mission...

"because of an unexpected twist.

"The day after I arrived,

I met an adversary worthy of myself.

"She embodies faithfulness,

modesty, and purity.

"Virtue, actually.

"Her name is Marianne.

"She's married to a young civil servant...

"who's now attending a conference abroad.

"She's originally Danish.

"Her accent, slips of the tongue,

and simplicity have enchanted me.

"Winter sports facilitate acquaintances.

"I also met the rest of her family...

"her husband's aunt...

"and Marianne's daughter, Caroline.

"Emotions work miracles.

"For the first time, I looked at a child...

"with a parent's eye...

"envying the real father.

"Their budget is modest.

"They're staying in a little mountain house.

"I launched an immediate attack."

- Mrs. Tourvel? These are for you.

- Thank you.

Valmont is sending this. For you...

For me...

and for Caroline.

Nobody's sent me flowers for a long time.

Here, sweetheart.

Your first rose ever from a man.

That man looked sad.

Not to me.

You didn't notice.

- Didn't he tell you about himself?

- No.

Good.

Men do that to excess.

A postman...

A woman, widowed or divorced...

- Slander...

- Who'd slander me?

It's in the cards.

So, tell me about slander.

"Marianne loves her husband.

"She's a faithful and happy wife.
