make me deceitful,

and I don't ever want that.

You sound so sure about things.

I'm sure about that.

I think you are

only acting strong.

No, I am strong.

For who?

Not for me, I hope.

I think it's the expectations

and assumptions of others...

that cause heartache.

Would you help me

with something?

-Yes.

-Come on.

Good, just jump up

on the box for me.

Um...

I think we're going to try and...

pull this back for you.

Pretty good.

A moment.

Save that one for

another time.

Quite nice.

Hmm.

Dead serious.

This one.

Do you like it?

-Yes.

-It's pretty good.

That's it.

Let's get that off you and then...

I'd like to take your measurements.

Is that all right?

And who is this lovely creature

making the house smell so nice?

Hello, I'm Alma.

I'm Cyril.

Sandalwood and rose water.

Hmm, sherry... and...

lemon juice?

Mm, mm-hmm, we had

fish for dinner.

My old sew-and-sew.

Would you mind?

Will you step towards me.

Ready?

Thirty-two.

Thirty.

Thirty-one.

Thirty-five and a half.

Fourteen and a half.

Seventeen.

Twenty.

Just stand normally.

Yes.

I stand normally.

Like before.

-What do you mean?

-Straight.

Straight?

-Like that.

-Yeah, you didn't say that.

Sixteen and a half.

Eight and a half.

You have no breasts.

Twenty-two.

-Yes, I know.

-Thirty-two and a half.

You can drop your arm now.

I'm sorry.

No, no, you're perfect.

My job to give you some.

If I choose to.

Ten.

Nine.

Six and a half.

Twenty...five.

And... forty-five.

That's it.

Would you try

something else for me?

Yes.

You have the ideal shape.

-I do?

-Hm.

He likes a little belly.

I never really liked myself.

I thought my...

shoulders were too wide.

My neck was

skinny like a bird.

That I had no breasts.

I felt my...

hips were larger than needed.

And my arms strong.

I feel as if I've been looking

for you for a very long time.

You found me.

Whatever you do...

do it carefully.

But in his work,

I've become perfect.

And I feel just right.

Maybe that's how all women

feel...in his clothes.

You look beautiful.

Really.

Very beautiful.

You're making me

extremely hungry.

-I ordered you a steak tartare.

-Oh, perfect. Thank you.

My little carnivore.

I've just been on the telephone

to your favorite client.

Mm-hmm.

Barbara Rose is getting

married again.

Oh, goody.

All right, well...

I think I better have

another one of these.

That's your room.

I'm right next door.

Get your rest.

We'll start early

in the morning.

How early?

I'll wake you.

Night.

Goodnight.

Sometimes, we wake up

at four in the morning...

after we'd gone to

bed at midnight.

And then he's ready

to start again.

And I can stand endlessly.
