Funny Face Page #9

the man asks the girl to dance.

You must come from the Stone Age.

We think freely here. If a girl wants

to dance with a man, she asks him.

We're not inhibited by

outmoded social conventions.

I can see that.

Do you ask men to dance with you?

Isn't it time you realised

that dancing is nothing more than

a form of expression or release?

There's no need to be formal

or cute about it.

As a matter of fact, I rather feel

like expressing myself now.

And I could certainly use a release.

- Bonsoir. Vous etiez formidable.

- Merci.

You certainly made friends

and influenced people.

They're empathicalists.

You talk a lot about empathy.

Ever do anything about it yourself?

I don't know what you mean.

- Why not throw some empathy my way?

- I still don't know what you mean.

How do you think I feel

when you don't show up?

I'm responsible for you.

An empathicalist should feel me

asking for unemployment insurance.

Show up where?

They've been waiting for you

at Duval's all day.

I had no idea. Nobody toId me.

We've been calling you

on the telephone for hours.

I've been at the cafe all day.

I'm terribly sorry.

I don't want to sound like

the personnel department,

but you ought to get to bed early.

The camera picks up everything.

I don't want to spend my life

retouching your pictures.

When we're done, you can spend

all your time making small talk.

Small talk? I suppose you think

the neckline of a dress

makes for worId-shaking conversation?

Anything you don't understand,

you call small talk.

- What do you think of Flostre?

- Don't change the subject.

- It's the same subject.

- I haven't met Flostre.

You haven't? By now

I thought you two'd be buddies.

You don't find Flostre in cafes,

except on special occasions.

Not everyone interested in

empathicalism meets him,

any more than every American

meets the President.

An invitation to Flostre's home

is a great honour,

and as hard to get

as an invitation to...

The White House.

I don't think jokes about Flostre

are funny.

No more jokes. But let's be friendly.

We have to work together.

You don't have to be friendly

to work together. Acquainted will do.

Am I supposed to

go over to Duval's now?

I said you'd be there at 10:30am.

- I'll be there.

- Promise?

I said I'd be there, and I will.

- AIright.

- This is where I get off.

Wait a minute. Don't go away mad.

Can't we walk and get friendly,

or better acquainted, or something?

No, thanks. I've got to go to bed.

I don't want you spending

your life retouching my pictures.

You are mad, aren't you?

No, I'm not mad, I...

I'm hurt, and disappointed, and...
