Nymphomaniac: Vol. I Page #4

Yes, I think that's a rather

cynical thing to say about Betty.

Yes, I made the cage nice

and cozy for her when...

- When I got her.

- I bet she liked that.

Betty was excited.

One of nature's

most meaningless creatures.

You're aware that

the choice of a dwarf hamster

possibly suggests certain

sexual connotations.

I can see that now

but it was really not

a conscious choice.

How long does a dwarf hamster

actually live?

Months, years?

Its life is much too short.

Would you show me

where the lavatory is?

I... have to blow my nose.

Just the same,

we were running out of subjects,

and B was ahead on points,

which led us to S's

first-class compartment.

Tickets, please.

Thank you. Ladies?

Tickets.

Well...

I think I might have lost it.

Perhaps.

Drop yours as well, did you?

I haven't bought a ticket

for your shitty train.

It's so bloody slow,

we should have been

at the end of the track

half an hour ago.

Regardless of delays, you still

need a ticket, sweetheart.

Eight pounds each, please.

Ooh!

I accidentally tore it up.

Can't expect me to pay

for scraps of paper.

- Have another one.

- Oh, great idea.

Oh, that one's disappeared too.

I can always just get the police

to collect your payment

at the next station...

Let's just take it easy here,

shall we?

Apparently, the young ladies

have left without any money.

If it's okay with you, I'd like

to pay for their tickets.

No, sir, it's not.

Leave your money where it is.

We'll let the police

deal with these two.

We did have sort of an agreement

that I was to pay.

I just forgot about it.

I see. Two first-class tickets...

for two first-class ladies.

Enjoy the rest of your journey.

Tickets, please.

Now that you've been

so nice to us...

we'd like to be nice to you, too.

Oh, that's very kind of you,

but there's no need.

I mean that.

You have to split them up

into whether they have

a goal and a mission or not.

That one doesn't.

Well, I've already lost anyway.

I'm willing to give you

five extra points...

if you can get that one in there.

I decided,

perhaps a bit desperately,

that the only thing

standing between me

and the bag of chocolate sweets,

was an unequivocal provocation

of this man.

Excellent. An induced take.

When all other attempts fail,

a dramatic provocation

can get an otherwise completely

passive fish to bite.

A salmon or a trout,

for example,

eats itself fat

while in salt water,

and then basically

has no need to eat

as it makes its way upstream

to the spawning grounds.

They're not hungry but they

will react instinctively

to the right provocation.

Which would not be a fly,

but for instance,

a brightly colored wobbler,
