Original Sin Page #3

Yes, thank you.

I want my wife to have free use|of all my accounts.

There you are.

Should I sign using my Christian name?

No, your married name.

You must remember to repeat|the signature exactly...

...each time you draw a check.

I will try.

Oh, man!

So, Luis, is it love after all...

...or is it just lust?

Is there a difference?

Oh, yes.

To love someone is to give|and then want to give more.

And lust?

What is lust, Alan?

Lust is to take and then take more.

To devour, to consume.|No logic, no reason.

So...give, take.

Which is it?

Both.

I want to give her everything.

And I want to take everything from her.

Oh, Luis. You are a lost man.

No, no.

She is the one who seems to be lost.

How, why, I don't know.|But that will change.

I can change that.

Mr. Vargas?

Walter Downs.|I didn't mean to startle you.

-That's okay.|-I was told I could find you upstairs.

-How can I help?|-Small matter.

Hardly worth your trouble.|I've been engaged by Miss Russell.

You mean, Julia?

No, Emily. Julia's sister.

In Delaware.

I'm a private investigator.

I just arrived from Wilmington.

I understand.|I know Miss Russell was distressed.

But we wrote to her several weeks ago.

I'm sure when she receives the letter,|she will be much relieved.

Then Miss Julia is all right?

More than all right.|And more than Miss Julia.

She's Seora Vargas, my wife.

So you are married?

-That's good news.|-Happily married.

I can see that.

What a mystery a happy marriage is.

The bloom in the cheek,|the spark in the eye.

-It shows, I guess.|-Yes, indeed.

Miss Russell will be pleased to hear of it.

I'd appreciate if you'd tell her.

I will indeed.

And I'll be even more convincing|when I've met your wife.

Yes, yes.

Why not?

We will be home Sunday afternoon.

You want to come by for a coffee?

Yes, I will.

Convey to your wife|how much I look forward to seeing her.

Outside, please. On the terrace.

Do as she says.

Just in time.

This is for Sunday paseo,|and this one for weekdays.

Fine, fine.

And the rest?

This one I like.

What do you mean?|There are seven days in a week.

Is there nothing in your trunk?

Nothing good. Anyway, I've lost the key.

We'll get a locksmith.|It's an easy job. Actually...

...l'll do it myself.

No, I want to show you something. Come.

You must leave now.|I'm going to kiss my husband.

Then we're going to take a bath.

What do I smell?

My perfume.

No.

A cigar.

I tried one.

One of my cigars?

I wanted the taste of you in my mouth.

You have no shame at all.

There is no shame in loving each other.

Do you love me? Julia?

Do you love me?

Or are you not the loving kind?

I forgot to tell you.

We have a visitor coming on Sunday.
