The White Countess Page #3

Or with anybody else.

Besides, I came in here

to get away from all of that.

I quite agree, Mr. Jackson.

In a place like this, we should be allowed

to forget the world outside...

and its many diffniculties.

At least until the morning.

Hey, I bet you've never been in this place.

Come on.

-Where?

-Here. Let me show you somethnig.

The bouncers here, they're no good.

Now listen to that.

In the bar of my dreams, Mr. Matsuda...

I'd have the best team of bouncers in town...

and in the whole of Asia.

They'd be hand-picked,

and they'd be well trained.

Only then can you have control. See that?

The bouncers are like your dials, you know.

You control the mood with them.

You can turn it this way or turn it that way.

with a good team of bouncers, a fellow, you

could conduct the place like an orchestra.

Do you know, Mr. Jackson...

the establishment I would most

like to visit just now?

No. Which is that?

this bar of yours.

this bar of your dreams.

Well, who knows? Maybe one day you will.

I'm not a rich man,

but I've got a little stored away.

Now, sometimes I think about it.

So you may really build this establishment?

this bar of your dreams?

right now, I don't have enough...

but, you know, in a town like this,

you can have a stroke of luck, and then....

I thnik about getting up one morning

and taking every dollar I have...

and going out and putting it on a horse.

The women, of course,

you'd have to choose very carefully...

as carefully as the bouncers.

You need a kind of balance

between the erotic...

and the tragic.

Very important to choose

just the right women.

Excuse me, but I must be going.

My driver will be waiting for me.

Mr. Jackson,

perhaps I can offer you a lift somewhere?

No, thank you, my own man will come

and find me before long.

He always does in the end,

whatever I do to try and lose him.

Then may I thank you

for an unusually enjoyable evening?

Mr. Matsuda, this has been a true pleasure.

Really.

-I hope we meet again.

-I hope so, too.

-Good night.

-Good night.

Excuse me.

I believe I have the honor of greeting

Countess Sofia Alexeyevna Belinskya.

Forgive me.

It's quite possible you won't remember me...

but we were friends.

Well, that's to say,

we sometimes played tenis together...

at the Skopichenkos' house in Petersburg.

Of course, I was small then.

-I'm sure you won't remember me, but--

-No, of course.

How could I forget

Count llya Vladimirovitch Litvanoff?

You always beat me.

I'm truly flattered you should remember.

How nice to see you again.

I'm sorry. I must return to my work.

Me, too. It was very good of you

to come over like this.

Well, I just happened to see you.
