Head in the Clouds Page #5

You're so complacent!

The mind isn't a physical thing

like the rest of the body.

Maybe it can jump forward in dreams.

Maybe it doesn't have to obey physical laws.

But if my room was already there...

then that would mean

everything was fixed in advance.

You think I was being spontaneous...

but I was always going to do that.

Just as I was always

going to win this argument.

That's what I learned at school.

I've got to work out what I'm going to do.

Resign from your teaching for a start.

And what do I live on?

I'll give you a job as my assistant.

How's the pay?

Good bonuses.

I listen to them every night.

Do we keep you awake?

She can sleep through anything.

She has amazing conversations in her

sleep. Three or four people.

Sometimes speaking different languages.

So, do you accept?

Put it away!

Mama!

How long will it take?

Only an hour.

I want to play!

Stand closer to Auntie.

You odious little boy. How's that?

Now the horrible little girl

has turned around.

Hold your hands like this.

Big smile!

That one's good.

Who's she?

Madame de Crussol -

she flashes her tits all over Paris.

It's propaganda!

Hello. We're just off to the pictures.

Yes, the new Chaplin.

Hello, Gilda.

So, Guy...

you have forsaken London

for the City of Light?

It seems so.

Mia!

Change in here.

Why?

He came to the exhibition.

He won't be seeing anything

he hasn't seen before.

You were part of my sculpture.

You're flesh and blood now.

What are you doing

going out with him, anyway?

I'm curious.

You know what they say about him.

You should hear what they say about you.

Your dresser has excelled herself.

So you're having dinner afterwards?

We haven't decided.

What time should I bring her back?

Shut up.

See you both later.

Bonsoir.

You're a very lucky man

living with two beautiful women.

But Gilda still doesn't approve of me.

Sometimes I think she's jealous.

You seem to have a calming influence

on her.

She used to move in wild circles

but I'm sure you know that.

And you don't care.

No, I don't.

Very commendable.

The past and the future are irrelevant.

The moment is everything.

You know, at first I thought

you were an idealist, a bore.

But you're one of us, after all.

Tell me, as one man to another...

what does Gilda like in bed?

As one man to another?

That's none of your business.

Come on, Mia. Dance for us.

Please?

It's Christmas.

Come on.

All right.

Why not?

Ladies and gentlemen

from the Grand Jeu club...

at the Brasserie Lipp!

The one with the terrible breath?

Mine had clammy hands!

He'd squeeze my wrist each time

he told a joke, hoping I'd laugh!

What are you two talking about?

You.

And what are you saying?
