Half Moon Street Page #3

might be several

thousand pounds.

She is one of a growing

number of young women...

who work in London's

newest industry...

the escort service...

grossing several million pounds

monthly, most of it tax-free.

The men are lonely, you keep

them company. That's it.

That's why

it's not prostitution.

Prostitution is

lowering yourself...

but this is

just the opposite.

Escort agencies--

the thing l like

about it--no hassle.

Good night.

Is this your taxi, General?

Yes. Can I offer you a lift?

Im going to Kensington.

Its on my way. Thank you.

That was a terrific paper

of yours in The Spectator.

Ah. Well, I had some

very good raw material.

But not good enough to warrant

a field trip to Kuwait.

You're a woman in a hurry.

No more than any man, General.

She reminds me of...you know,

that great Australian girl.

You're absolutely right,

but she can't go out like this.

Men expect something sexier.

Quelque chose qui fait bander.

If you're thinking

of tits in a tight dress...

you have a pretty

stereotyped idea...

of what this job requires.

Is that so? Up to you.

Here's the drill.

We'll keep track of

your appointments, pay you cash.

But once you accept the job,

you go out with the guy...

even he has halitosis

and a triple chin.

-And afterwards?

-The sky's the limit.

We don't want to know.

Dinner's OK.

For the rest...

Ill see how l feel.

Of course, you'll be

using a pseudonym.

No. Ill use my own name.

That's highly irregular.

Im not ashamed of what

I do, Captain Twilley.

Perhaps she might be

available...film Americain.

Good idea.

A big film producer--

Floren Farvenstein from L.A.

Most of our clients

are regulars.

You must look your best.

Ill dazzle him with my wit.

The bodies of 3

Iranian students...

were found today in a cellar...

in a disused tenement

building near Brands Hatch.

The Iranians, believed to be

members of the Hezbollah...

had been missing

for several weeks...

...to disperse a mob

of rampaging youths...

who earlier overturned

a police van and set it on fire.

Police are still

searching for a man...

who claimed in

an anonymous telephone call...

that he would blow up

Brixton Underground Station...

if his friends were not

released by midnight.

Good evening, madam.

-Thank you.

-Thank you very much, Love.

Vous parlez chinois, vraiment?

C'est merveilleux.

J'aimerais tellement

passer la nuit avec vous.

-C'est $300.

-C'est beaucoup.

Take it or leave it.

Raw fish very good.

Very health-giving.

What was that with the waiter?

I say you very good-looking.

I thought I heard

a reference to money.

You speak Japanese?

Im not on the menu,

Mr. Matsushita.
