Savage Grace Page #3
the world as we know it today.
- That was your father?
- No, that was my grandfather.
My father is a crapule.
My grandfather decidedly was not.
- What does Papa do?
- How do you mean?
- Well, Franois at the...
- At the cole?
- You can tell him, "My father writes.
"My father explores.
"My father has
a very refined knowledge of mathematics. "
Oh.
And you can tell him that your mother
Do you find my wife attractive?
Most men do.
But what she doesn't...
what Barbara doesn't realize...
is that women find me...
you know...
attractive.
Some people's fathers,
some people's mothers,
they have to go to an office or a factory
or a store, I guess, every day.
But we are fortunate...
because what we do
is what we love.
What does Franois' father do?
- He works.
- Ah, well, we worked.
I mean, Father worked, Nini worked.
There was no other way.
I kind of had to raise myself,
and then I worked, too - at Filene's.
Then when I could, I left.
I just left.
Nini wanted what was best for me -
only what was best for me.
"Find the mon," she'd say.
She meant "man," I guess,
and she meant "money. "
The rich, they don't have
pet names for money.
Did you know Leonardo da Vinci
wrote backwards?
So you could only read it in a mirror.
- Entrez.
- Hi.
Carlos!
Pilar!
My, you're looking swell!
Gracias.
Mrs. Baekeland, permit me
to introduce Monsieur Souvestre.
Jean-Pierre,
I am so happy to meet you.
Please, come in.
I have been dying to ask you
about Marcel Proust,
your biography of whom
I have yet to read
are not what they will be.
It is not necessary
to apologize for that.
Brooks reads the language
like a native.
And our Tony is mastering it every day
at the cole bilingue.
But for poor moi, I must confess,
it's been a struggle, n'est-ce pas?
Understood.
What was I saying?
Oh... yes.
Jean-Pierre,
was Proust truly a homosexual?
Qu'est-ce que tu penses?
So you met Carlos here in Paris?
I was at the Sorbonne, the adoring
graduate student writing about his work.
But then... we woke up one morning
and none of that seemed to matter.
I think I knew he was serious
when he introduced me
Oh! I ran into them today,
at I'quipe.
They said they might
stop over... later.
Je peux lui telephoner?
You may be assured
they were only being polite.
I don't want to be impolite, but
M. Souvestre has the early day tomorrow.
He's off to Vittel.
It is regrettable,
but what Mrs. Durn says is the truth.
Un petit caf for the road?
And you've yet to meet Tony.
Excusez-moi.
Monsieur Souvestre, permettez-moi
de vous prsenter mon fils, Tony.
