They were crazy about sex.

Most nuns joined the convent

Because their families sent them off.

Because they had committed adultery.

They're going to send you

to the convent too.

You're so beautiful, my darling.

A very good year!

Thank you, Mr. Devereaux.

A promise is a promise.

And I promised you this interview.

As long as things don't get too personal.

Is this your office?

Yes, but we'll go over here.

You don't want to do it in there?

No, a lot of people come through here.

OK, as you wish.

It's very kind of you

to grant me this interview.

Here we are, take a seat over there.

This is where I rest when I'm working,

but I also use it for interviews.

What would you like to know?

By the way, I read your book.

It's very good.

- Is that true?

- Quite the wordsmith.

You read it? That's so kind of you!

That's really... nice.

Really, I'm pleased.

It was so nice of you to agree to this.

I don't want to take up too much of your time.

Can you tell me how you lost

the Jean-Claude Mry tape?

That's why I'm here.

I didn't watch it.

- You never saw it?

- No, I didn't watch the tape.

I don't understand.

You told me you watched it.

- No, I didn't see it.

- But if you didn't watch it then-

You are quite beautiful.

You're beautiful. You know-

Look, if you never watched the-

Hold on.

I know your mother well.

Thank you for your...

You know, I know your mother well.

Very well, actually.

She told me a lot about you

when you were a child.

You are very gifted.

You had a wonderful education.

Why are you talking about my mother?

Because I know her very well. Here...

That's enough.

Sorry.

It will be OK.

It's not easy but it will be OK.

What about Josh?

How's he dealing with all of this?

Josh is OK,

but his parents are pretty upset.

Have his parents

ever really been happy?

I have no idea.

But I do know they were happy

their son was dating the daughter

of the head of a major

international institution.

Maybe they should just be happy

that he was marrying you.

I would marry you even if your father

was a scumbag.

That's very nice,

but you know things don't work like that.

And Simone?

Very angry.

She never had much of a sense of humor.

I shouldn't find any of this funny.

You don't find it funny?

She should accept you

the way Josh accepts me.

She knew what she was getting into.

What are you going to do?

You mean when they ask:

"Blindfolded or not?"

Dad, stop it!

I wish I could have helped you to stop.

I didn't want to.

Correction.

I don't want to.

They can all go f*** themselves!

I think it's a little bit my fault.

It's my fault.

Just like everybody else...

Since childhood, I've been brainwashed.
