Under The Cherry Moon Page #3

- Hmm.

Maybe if you took off your jockstrap

you would be able to breathe easier, hmm?

I should have said that.

I should have said,

"Chastity belt?

Oh, you're sadly mistaken, sir.

"I wear a cestus.

Perhaps you've heard of it?

"It's an embroidered girdle

originally worn by Venus,

"and it inspires love.

"Perhaps you've heard of love.

I doubt it."

He's just a peasant.

He doesn't even know who Venus is.

Hello, kitten.

How is the prettiest girl

on the Cte d'Azur?

Terrific.

- I'm sorry I missed your party last night.

- But you had to see to the ship.

I said I'm sorry, darling.

Somebody has to go out

and earn the pennies.

It's forgiven.

- Would you like to tell me about it?

- Can't it wait till later?

- You will be home for dinner, won't you?

- Unfortunately, not tonight.

I have an appointment at 7:00,

but I'm sure your mother

will tell me everything.

Right.

Won't you let the dog loose.

She seems awfully hungry.

- Tricky, no.

- Oh, thank you. Bye-bye.

Good evening, Chris.

Oh, yeah.

Good evening, ladies.

Tricky's the name, and love is my game.

You ain't got no money,

I love you just the same.

You know, I could breathe a lot easier

if the air weren't so utterly polluted

by your presence.

Oh.

You've been rehearsing that line

all night, haven't you?

I have a message for you

from Mrs. Wellington.

She wants you to come to her house

tonight at 7:
00.

- Want to dance?

- I never dance with my clothes on.

I noticed.

Mary!

Mary.

The name drips from one's lips.

You look wonderful tonight,

and I'd be very honored

if you'd dance with me.

At least someone around here

has some manners.

Mary, tell me,

is it really true you're engaged?

Yes.

Tsk, tsk, what a pity.

Sometimes life can be so shitty.

- Here's a girl, she's smart and pretty.

- And rich.

I don't care about that!

Honey, I really don't.

I want a girl who can teach me things,

hip me to the finer side of life.

Who's not stupid.

Man, I hate stupid girls.

Marry a stupid girl, you have stupid kids.

You don't believe me?

Follow a stupid kid home,

see if someone stupid

don't answer the door.

Mmm-hmm.

I like them nice, too.

- You know, that certain special way.

- Special? What do you mean?

Yeah, special.

You know, Mary, that's what you are.

Have you ever been to Le Pavillon?

Oh, yes, honey. Chris and I, we...

No.

Tomorrow night at 8:00.

We'll see how you adapt

to the finer side of life.

We'll be there.

May I?

Why did Mrs. Wellington

give you that message?

She's my friend.

She told me all about you.

- Oh, yeah? What did she say?

- Guess.

She said I'm an angel, and her heart flies

when she's in my arms.
