She's, um...
Well, she's...
something a little strange.
That's what you notice,
that she's not a woman
like all the others.
She seems all wrapped up in herself.
Lost...
in a world she carries
deep inside her...
but surrounded by a world of luxury.
A sumptuous boudoir.
Her bed all quilted satin.
Chiffon drapes.
From her window,
you can see the Eiffel Tower.
Suddenly, her maid brings in
a gift-wrapped box.
A token from an admirer.
She's a cabaret star of the highest rank.
She opens the box.
It's a diamond bracelet.
But she sends it back.
Men are really at her feet.
She's known a few.
But not the one
she's been waiting for all her life.
A real man.
Her maid has prepared her a foam bath.
The star takes a towel
like a turban.
Her fingernails painted a rosy peach,
she unfastens her taffeta nightgown
and lets it slide smoothly
down her thighs
to the tile floor.
Her skin glistens.
into the perfumed water.
Then her sensuous legs,
is caressed with foam.
I told you.
No erotic descriptions.
Whatever, but she's a ravishing woman.
Do you know what I mean?
I mean...
the most ravishing woman in the world.
Yeah, sure.
She really is.
Perfect figure.
Classical features.
But with these big green...
eyes.
They're black.
I'm the one who saw the movie,
but if that's what you want,
big black eyes.
Kind eyes.
Tender eyes.
But beware.
They can see...
everything.
There's nothing you can hide from them.
No matter how lonely she may be,
she keeps men... at a distance.
She's probably got bad breath
or something.
If you're going to crack jokes
about a film
that I happen to be fond of,
there's no reason to go on.
All right, all right, go ahead.
Suddenly...
we're in Paris.
Troops are marching
right underneath the Arc de Triomphe.
Really handsome soldiers,
and...
the French girls are applauding
as they pass by.
Then we are on this typical
Parisian back street.
Dead end, sort of --
sort of looking up a hill,
and these really weird-looking Frenchmen --
not the typical ones with the berets --
and the boxes contain contraband delicacies
like canned meat,
the best cheeses...
mm, peaches in syrup...
Don't talk about food.
Not to mention the hams and the pats.
I'm serious.
No food and no naked women.
It's my back.
You've been bleeding again.
Look at your shirt.
It's all wet.
It's just sweat.
Well, what do you think so far?
Isn't it fabulous?
Helps pass the time.
Does that mean that you like it?
Doesn't help any great cause,
but I guess it's all right.
Blessed Mary, is that all
you can talk about?
You must have studied
political philosophies in school.
The phrase is "political science",
and the answer is no.
I studied journalism.
Oh, so you can appreciate a good story.
I know it's nothing terribly intellectual
like you must be used to.
It's just a... romance,
but it's so beautiful.
Now...
suddenly...
this military convoy rushes forward!
Marvelous German soldiers
catch those weird smugglers in the act
and arrest them all.
But watching nearby...
is this small truck.
from the Resistance...
who are spying on the Germans.
This hulking clubfoot
and his half-deaf flunky.
Wait a minute.
Those weird guys the Germans arrested?
Yes.
What do you mean
they didn't look French?
They didn't look French.
They looked...
