Valmont Page #4

---

I want Gercourt to discover on his wedding night...

...that he didn't get there first.

I want to make him the laughingstock of Paris.

You want me to seduce a little girl...

...who's seen nothing...

...who knows nothing...

...who'll probably flop on her back out of simple curiosity?

You don't need me for that. Anyone can do that.

But I thought you liked her. I thought I was doing you a favor.

Besides, I can't go to Paris now.

-Why? -The air here is so fresh.

And you hear the birds singing. You never hear the birds in Paris.

Who is she?

May I change the subject, madame?

Change anything you want, my dear.

Do you love your husband?

Yes.

Yes, I love him very much.

Then why are you here?

Why aren't you with him?

I'm afraid the Marquise and I share the same banal curiosity.

Seems that Madame de Tourvel's husband prefers to be alone when he works.

Men always say they prefer to be alone, but I love my husband.

So, I go where he goes.

-Out of love? -Why else?

Fear, maybe?

Fear? Of what?

-That you might be tempted. -You mean, I might be tempted.

Shush, my love.

Are you hinting that I could be unfaithful to my husband?

Not now, but, if you were alone...

Monsieur de Valmont, you simply don't understand women.

You're right.

If a woman wants a little adventure, she doesn't need to be alone.

She can manage it perfectly well right under her husband's nose.

Isn't that true, madame?

That's not at all what I meant, madame.

Monsieur de Valmont, I know some women might be weak...

...but...

...believe me, there are women who will always be true.

Nonsense!

A true woman is a contradiction in terms.

Not always.

I believe that some women stay true.

I find them fascinating.

Men usually do.

I've noticed that.

Why is that?

Because men are always chasing after visions, my dear.

They want us to be angels.

But in bed, they want us to be demons, my dear.

Yes, indeed.

But there always comes that morning surprise...
