When one is seeking for a woman,

it means he's poorly tooled.

Me, in Zanzibar,

I had three!

Polygamy means safety.

The all-risks insurance.

Or else, the crazy love,

the big neurosis, only...

Woman with a capital "W",

Love with a capital "S",

It's worst than the white whale.

It drives you crazy to look for it.

My Isolde...

My princess fairy...

I've met her once.

Once.

She was beautiful in all aspects.

But she was giving away all the bread

she made to a blond pimp.

It was a garlic smelling jewish,

and, on his way from Formosa,

he's took her away

from a bordello of Shanghai.

He made about 20 million

but his luck turned.

Do you have a light?

Got a light for me too, buddy?

You are here every night.

But you never gamble.

I'm not lucky enough.

You mean... for gambling, right?

I guess your staying in Beyrouth?

Excelsior Hotel.

What about going there right now?

Do you have a car?

There's taxis.

A taxi!

Keep your jewels inside, Madame.

This place isn't safe. Good night.

- But...

- It's full of thieves.

To the airport.

Good evening, Grasshopper.

Are you there every night?

Be careful!

Yes.

I've been there.

You gave money to have chips.

And you gave the chips back

to have money.

It was so boring.

I never get bored

when I see 100 million on a table.

I passed by the beach last night.

We left at 2.

We went to see a friend, Wladimir.

I hope it's a joke?

- What?

- You really like money?

Oh, yes!

You didn't went back at Gideon's?

No.

- You stayed at Wladimir's ?

- Yes.

You don't look like a money guy.

Don't be stupid,

everybody likes money!

Everybody wants everything.

Without dough, you've got nothing.

Sun, snow, cars,

women, everything is for sale.

Oh, yeah?

How much do I worth?

And you,

for that good woman

how much did you worth?

Why did you ask me

if I went back at Gideon's?

Just to know.

- You knew, you went to see him.

- Me?

You also went to see

the ice-cream man.

Grasshopper.

- What?

I need to find a gun.

And a place to sleep.

Are you sleepy?

I can't go back to the hotel.

Perfect.

Let's go see the roman ruins.

I don't give a damn about

the roman ruins.

You're wrong,

they're 100 kms away from here.

I don't have a car.

Wladimir has plenty.

Hi!

We looked for you everywhere.

I messed up your thing...

I don't give a sh*t.

Oh, it's you.

Hey, can you lend me a car?

No!

Here.

Hey, can you lend me a car?

No.

Which one?

I don't give a sh*t.

Not this blue. I like this one.

Excuse me.

Thanks.

- Hey! Keep quiet, Wlad is sleeping!

- And so what?

Wladimir...

Are you sleeping with him?

Like this, from time to time.

If it's bothering you, I can stop.

I don't give a sh*t.
