-Then you must be an exceptional woman. -No, it's...

-Not exceptional. Why? -To love a husband who's never there.

-Are you married, Monsieur de Valmont? -No.

I'm in love.

-You're in love. -Yes.

-Then why aren't you with her? -I am with her.

I'm talking to her right now.

-You shouldn't have said that. -Why not? Is it wrong to be in love?

No, as long as the feeling's mutual and legitimate.

Does that mean you don't love me?

Of course I don't love you.

Don't do that!

Monsieur de Valmont!

Monsieur de Valmont, please!

Don't do that. You frightened me.

What does it matter if I drown? You don't love me.

Look, sometimes my friends tell me I'm naive, but...

I'm not so silly that I don't see what you want.

Yes? What do I want?

If you don't stop talking that way, we can't be friends.

All I want is to be near you...

...and to hear you telling me over and over again that you don't love me at all.

No.

No, I'm not clever enough to talk to you.

Help!

Help me!

Help me!

Help! Help!

Vicomte.

What happened?

An accident.

So you did come.

Thank you, Azolan. I won't be needing you.

Yes, he will.

Prepare his traveling clothes and pack the rest.

-We're going to Paris. -Wait.

Wait.

-Why? -I need you in Paris...

...very much.

You may go.

What is it?

You remember my little cousin from the opera?

Yes.

-You remember she's getting married? -Yes.

Guess to whom.

How could I guess?

Monsieur de Gercourt.

Where do I fit in?

You're the only one who can help me.

Do you want me to challenge him to a duel?

Vicomte, for what I have in mind...

...I need you very much alive.

You know, little Cecile...

She reminds me so much of myself when I was .

She's naive, innocent...

She's naive, innocent...

...pure.

Yes?

I want you to put an end to it.

I want you to take her virginity.
