Eating Raoul Page #5

Synopsis: When a Paul enters his apartment to find Mary fighting off a swinger who has gotten into the wrong apartement (and thinks that Mary is just playing hard to get) he hits the man with a frying pan, killing him. Their dreams of running a small resturant seem to be in jeopardy until they decide to dispose of the body, keep the wallet, and to advertise for other sexually oriented visitors who are summarily killed, bagged, robbed and disposed of. This goes along quite well until one night a burglar named Raoul breaks in and cuts himself in for a piece of the action.

Think so?

Thanks for covering for me, Sheila.

Cleanup crew, you are needed

in Intensive Care.

That was pretty nasty what you let

that creep do to me yesterday.

- Whatever it was, it must have worked.

- Yeah, they're letting me out.

Congratulations. Goodbye.

Not so fast. Why don't you let me

buy you a drink or something?

Forget it.

What are you doing? I have an

appointment. I'm gonna be late now.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...

- Is this you? "Doris the Dominatrix"?

- That's right, buster.

And I'm out of your league.

Stay away from me, or I'll whip you!

I thought you were a lot more hip

than you let on.

How about telling me where she lives.

Mr. Baker, that's against regulations.

Mr. Bland, how are you?

I'm John Peck.

- How do you do?

- You brought them. Good.

Let's put the little beauties

down here on the coffee table.

Yes, excellent.

Lovely year, lovely.

Are you hungry?

I was about to go to the restaurant.

We can leave these here.

No one will trouble them.

I'll buy you dejeuner, and we'll haggle

about price over the steak tartare.

It's not George Cinq, but you'll

find the cuisine here palatable.

I'm often amazed in my travels...

- Oh, I only want to sell six.

- Six? Is that all?

Oh, well, that's too bad.

Well, I suppose one takes

what one can get in this life, eh?

Would you excuse me?

I have to cash some traveler's checks.

Thank you.

Mrs. Bland, nice to see you.

Please, sit down.

I have your loan application

right here. Let's see.

You and Mr. Bland wish to purchase

a restaurant out in Valencia.

Yes, that's right.

Have you or your husband

ever been in the rest...?

No, but I've been a nutritionist

at General Parker...

...and my husband has been a

wine merchant for several years now.

Well, looking at you, Mrs. Bland,

I have no doubt in my mind...

...that you would be a success

at anything you put your hand to.

Well, thank you very much,

Mr. Leech.

I would relish the possibility

of becoming one of your clientele.

Both my husband and I would really

like you to come to our restaurant.

If we get it.

It was actually more your hospitality

that I was thinking about, Mrs. Bland.

Your enthusiasm is

very encouraging, Mr. Leech.

Thank you, Mrs. Bland.

I'm feeling quite encouraged myself.

- You through with this?

- Yes.

Good, I'll go bury it.

Mr. Peck?

Every weekend I give a party...

...for some of my more

sexually liberated friends.

Many of them are bank customers

like yourself.

Could you come next weekend?

You can bring your husband.

That's nice. But it's getting late,

and I have to get back to the hospital.

So if you would just...

I'd like to help you
