- you must go? - yes, mama. i must.
you will come back if you change your mind?
yes, i will.
don't be sad.
just tell me where you're going. leave me your address.
i don't have one yet.
i'll write you.
- are you leaving, aunt julie?
- yes. i'm going g- but i ca
- may i go with you? - yes, you may come with me.
- looking for someone, lady?
- i'm looking no
- i believe he lives here. - yes, ma'am.
- but he's not in. - it's quite all right.
- i must go up and wait for him.
- but there's no
well, you say that he isn't in.
but you're not sure, are you? i'll go upstairs then.
as long as i'm here, i want to see his apartment.
but i can phone the apartment.
i'll call up ine
if nobody answers, i can take the message.
your name, please?
what's your name, please?
you hear it ringing? nobody's in the apartment.
look, i've got a better idea.
you give me the key to the apartment.
i'll wait till he returns and give him a real surprise.
i was just thinking. i haven't been here very long...
and i don't even know if they'll keep me on.
but maybe we don't mean the same person.
- mr. bliss is a tall redhead,
right? - yes,
i was afraid of that. he didn't leave the key.
i guess he took it with him.
sorry, ma'am. ie
mr. bliss, just a second. a woman was asking for you.
- mrs. bujol? she and i are finished. - no, not her.
this woman has never been here before.
she wanted me to g- but i ca
and she even tried to bribe me with a hundred francs.
really?
it wasn't that little annie, was it?
- no. - then it was big bertha.
- no. i know those two women. - tell me about it then.
hello. did i wake you?
it was time for me to get up anyhow.
- what's new? - nothing special.
- i hoped you would answer
"gilberte." - ie
Gilberte.
you did say she was brand new, didn't you?
you and your humor, you murder me.
so you're going to put the yoke on today?
and what's this?
better get rid of it before gilberte discovers it.
since i broke up with that bujol
woman, i've been la
i also broke with little annie.
gilberte's marre
you know my motto. "don't run after
women. but don't m- but i ca
and i wanted to ask gilberte
to choose a mate
who won't be too... who will be kind of...
you know what i mean.
it's about time you calm down.
"when you've seen one, you've seen them all."
- you taught me that. - but i want them all.
women, that's all you think about.
you'll have to give up this hobby some day... with age.
that's simple. i've thought about that day quite often.
i'll use hemingway's way out... bang, bang.
my own way out is called "gilberte."
you can't believe that i'm
in love? go inte
and right by the bed, you'll find a tape recorder.
- i see it. - good. press the red button.
- the red button? - yes.
just listen to that.
terrific, isn't it?
go back to the start.
i taped gilberte crossing her legs.
she didn't know what i was up to.
listen to the sound of her
stockings rubbing a
how do you like it?
that's the sound of nylons. the first time i tried it...
Nothing.
i wonder what she's doing right now.
with whom, you mean?
you're envious, you traitor.
but you'll never m- but i ca
no, i'm sure she must be gazing tenderly at my photo.
and i'll bet she's looking
at her naked boe
you're crazy.
i'm sure of it. in every novel written by a woman...
the heroine looks at herself naked in a mirror.
gilberte's not in a book, though. what's the relation?
sexual relation.
well, i better answer.
i'm sure it's gilberte. tell her
i'm out of the ba - but i ca
hello. am i speaking to mr. bliss?
mr. bliss is in, but...
it wasn't gilberte, but another
woman. she hun
a wrong number?
no. she asked for you, then hung up.
yes, it is odd. i'll bet that must be my secret admirer.
yes. there's a mysterious lady who admires me in secret.
it seems that some beautiful
woman tried to ent
and even offered charlie the
doorman a hundre
which he refused, i suppose.
i'd have let her - but i ca
no, it must be a poor pregnant
girl wanting are
- impossible. she never saw me. - how do you know?
charlie gave her a description
of me that was c - but i ca
the trap worked. she said it was definitely me.
he said you were handsome and distinguished?
go ahead and laugh.
but he says she was superb. know what she wore?
an evening gown at 10 a.m. let's go.
yeah, let's go.
your unknown lady is a hotel thief, that's all.
did you ever see one wearing
an evening gown? - but i ca
i'll celebrate the end of my bachelorhood with her.
- see what i mean, you... - that must be gilberte.
- too late, a hang-up. - your mysterious woman again?
if it is, she wants something. and she wants it bad.
and the best man? can't the best man kiss the bride?
i'll borrow my daughter, with your permission.
do you see what i see by the door, bliss?
- well, introduce me. - but i don't know her.
i guess she came here with fred and his friends.
i'm going to check up, then.
- you don't recognize me? - no. yes, yes, sure.
excuse me, please. how are you?
if you recognize me, why do you
never say hello to
excuse me.
well, i give up. fred doesn't
know her. nobo
- she keeps looking at you.
- i have a secre
boy, my move.
- you happy? - of course.
- sure you're happy? - of course, i am.
- mama is very happy. - then we're all happy.
you don't look happy.
it's my honor to present the real master of the house.
my friend, bliss. i can't make the introduction...
because mrs., or perhaps miss...
...doesn't want to say her name. she's an apparition.
whatever her name, she's welcome
here. how do you - but i ca
i suppose an apparition doesn't eat, smoke, or drink.
may i have some water? cold water, please.
i think it would have a better
taste if you g
that puts me one up on you, my friend.
i wanted to be alone with you.
- that puts me one up on him. -
it's warm here. takeherself be caught.
- do we know each other? - perhaps.
- where did we meet then? - think about it.
thank you.
may i have another one?
of course.
won't you tell me your name now that we're alone?
- my name? no. - oh, there goes your scarf.
you'll permit me to buy you another one, won't you?
well, you see... this one was a souvenir.
i can't lose it. it means a lot to me.
you know you are... i find you fascinating.
You intrigue me. My fiancée is lovely.
tell me just one thing. did
you phone me twi - but i ca
i don't know. get my scarf.
get my scarf, and i will answer.
i'm julie kohler!
oh, ma'am. you want mr. coral?
no, i came to see a friend. but she's not in.
i was trying to leave, but with all these corridors...
i guess i lost my way. then i saw this open door.
i've always believed you can
know what a peen
if you just examine the room he lives in.
yeah.
- i don't know your mister... - mr. coral.
mr. coral, but let me show you.
i'm sure that he't the motive wa
- and i'm sure he isn't rich. - you're right about that.
he's always at least three months behind in his rent.
he's also a man who won't face reality...
- but takes refuge in dreams. - that's right.
what he's looking for is an ideal woman...
a woman he can't find and who exists...
- only in his imagination. - you're right.
i've noticed that whenever
the poor man looat the motive wa
he gets white as a sheet or red as a lobster.
you're right about that.
but don't let me keep you from your work.
good-bye.
mr. coral, what about your letter?
- i don't think it's for me. - yes, it is. it's for you.
that's right, it's for me. mr. coral, that's me.
"municipal theater.
the fontanarosa."
very strange.
i have a ticket. is it good for tonight?
of course, sir. the performance
just began thren
- you're in box eight. - thanks.
your ticket, please.
thank you.
this way, please.
- you owe me an explanation. - do i?
yes, and to begin with, how do you know me?
- you're much too curious.
- my name is corat the motive wa
am i the man you meant to send the ticket to?
yes, robert coral.
if it were all a mistake, would you be disappointed?
yes, no, i don't think so. at least we met.
i'm happy even if it wasn't meant for me.
if you were to tell me you won't
see me again, i at the motive wa
you're not sorry you came, are you? then you're glad?
more than glad. i'm overwhelmed.
it's difficult to keep from thinking.
- then why don't you tell me? - it's my secret.
- your name at least. - i'll tell you later.
when?
- the next time we meet. - when?
i don't know yet. next week perhaps.
- why couldn't it be tomorrow? - tomorrow.
wonderful! where?
where? at your place?
my place? but i'd never have dared propose it.
well, dare.
- would you come tomorrow to my place? - gladly.
- you'll tell me everything? - yes, i'll tell you...
when, where, why, and how.
- and now, good-bye till tomorrow.
- i'll take yo
no, you must go. until tomorrow night at nine.
i don't know what to say, i'm just...
- then don't say anything. good-bye. - good-bye.
and yet for not even a minute did she try to be pleasing
i'm wrong. she did try to be pleasing.
the curtains...
there.
the mountain.
under the bed.
yes, yes. just a second. there.
the rent notice. i guess you passed without seeing it.
oh, just get out!
yes?
you know, i was beginning to
think you wouldn
you're sweet, but you know...
i was sure you would say something stupid.
you're rather hard on me.
but i don't mind much.
which do you prefer, whiskey or gin?
- i warn you, the gin isn't too good. - no, wait.
i've brought something very special for the two of us.
arak?
it's from the end of the world. do you know it?
- what? the end of the world? - why, no. arak.
give it to me. thanks.
- do you like mandolin? - sure i do, why?
because i brought a record i really love.
- i want to listen to it with you. - sure.
the record player's there.
put your record on. i'll open this bottle.
- i don't know how to work it.
- just a minute. i00 Y2:Yes
- permit me to make an
impossible wish. o00 Y2:Yes
"there are no optimists or pessimists.
there are only happy idiots or unhappy ones."
yes, well, i'm an unhappy idiot then.
you cheered me up, though, so here's to you and me.
the two of us, together.
- can we have some music? - of course.
that's very nice.
i don't believe i know it.
"i empty my glass when it's full.
and when it's drained, i'm full."
you remember the secret?
you were to tell me it tonight.
i want to know your deepest thoughts.
no, my thoughts are mine.
you will know the secret.
but wait, it's a bit too early.
aren't you happy here with me?
yes, i am, yes! you are magic.
you made me drink a love potion.
look. i've made this to remind me
of something i sho00 Y2:Yes
- i feel like dancing. - good. let's dance.
no, by myself, but i'll dance for you.
listen here. it's the allegretto.
- you're beautiful. too beautiful. - but why too?
- too beautiful for me. - don't be foolish.
don't put yourself down.
in life you must always play to win.
losers are made, not born.
you're right.
i won't put a hand on you. you're my fairy princess.
my impossible dream.
i won't put a hand on you,
but i wish you'd as.
that way i'd know deep down i
could have done it,.
you're here with me. it's a miracle.
till now, i've had little to do with women.
i've been a very lonely soul.
i'll confess something that i can't tell to a man.
i'll bet i could count on the fingers of one hand...
no, let's say both hands...
the women i've had.
and now my impossible dream...
of making you happy.
you've almost done it.
this isn't the first time we've met, you know.
i know that. i met you last night.
no, that wasn't the first time either.
listen to me. no, a little while more.
we know each other.
you saw me once.
not too many years ago.
but i wasn't wearing black, i was wearing white.
yes, by god, i recognize you. you're the bride.
listen, it wasn't our fault.
i can't see very well. is the light flickering?
nothing has happened to it. it's you.
i'm being torn to shreds. you must call a doctor.
it's no use. he'd get here too late. it's all over now.
cookie!
hello, cookie. such a big ball for such a little fellow.

i'm worried about how the two of you will make out.
- lucienne will cook the dinner.

your mother would choose tuesday to get sick.

i'll give you some sugar.
i'm puzzled over something. may i ask a question?
tell me on exactly what basis you award the star...
- what's the criterion? - well, you know...
i don't mind if that boy, jos?macias, got it...
i just wanted to know.
you know, it's all based... it's based on the grades.
but i was told there are no grades in kindergarten.
well, they aren't official.
cookie, how about it? it's bedtime. put on your pajamas.
you know, the star. i never got one, but...
nothing was preventing me, but...
i spent more time under the
teacher's desk t

if you don't attend to politics,
politics will we
personally, i've given up everything for politics.
even hunting. it's no great sacrifice.
so many fools go hunting these days.
now, let me tell you this. politics is not child's play.
get this straight, to run a modern
campaign like we
money's needed, a lot of money, and we've got it.
sure, people always ask questions,
"where does ih
who pays for the posters, hand bills and so forth?"
we can't tell them. they wouldn't understand.
yes, the voters should be completely
informed, but that's Y2:A coin...
they don't really know what's good for them.
this evening you were good for us.
i really don't know how to thank you.
i have no idea how i'd have gotten along without you.
my wife will be very grateful to you.
my activities have prevented me
from going to p.ee00 Y2:Yes
but i am acquainted with your principal.
he'll never set the world on fire, but he's a good man.
could you find out if he's decorated?
i could see about getting a plaque for him.
it might please him, and it would help my boy.
come along, cookie, you have to go to bed.
- let's play hide-and-seek. - yes.
then i'll be it.
good. and i'll count to ten. ready.
one, two, three, four, five...

come on. up you go.
you're too heavy for me. say good night to daddy.
- good night, cookie. - good night.
and say your prayers.
now get ready to meet the sandman.

i went to sleep, dreaming i was in a movie.
my wife must have arrived at her mother's by now.
don't leave yet. won't you have a liqueur?
sorry, i must go.
all that counts is cookie. me, i'm nothing.
you know, i may not look like a
don juan, but as e00 Y2:Yes?
politicians make it big with women.
it's normal because a woman can say...
"for an hour, he completely forgot

you to leave in
i must go.
wait, take this umbrella.
return it to my wife. she'll want to thank you.
no, thanks.
she's a perfect mother, but she
can't seem to unde00 Y2:Yes?
you seem to understand me quite well.
i've lost my ring. i guess it must've
fallen off while 400 Y2:Yes?
it's a souvenir, a man's signet
ring. it's not
but i do prize it. i may have lost it upstairs.
- i'm sure he'll wake up now. - don't worry about him.
he'd sleep through an earthquake.
but the closet could be a good
place to look.
miss becker, open the door, please. it slammed shut.
no, i slammed it.
all you have to do is pull the bolt toward you.
but you haven't understood me.
i'm the one who
open up, miss becker!
all right, stop it. i'll tell you why i did it.
- what? - i'm not miss becker.
- what do you mean? who are you? - i'm julie kohler.
david kohler's widow. i came here tonight to kill you.
let me out of here! listen to me!
let me explain what happened.
i'll explain the wo.
it was a terrible accident, and because of it...
our careers, our futures, could have been ruined.
bliss, coral, delvaux and i weren't really friends.
we were a group of bachelors in a boring, small town.
we'd get together to play cards and kid around.
we only had two common interests. hunting and women.
after the accident, we all
felt guilty, an
we made a quick decision to break up...
and never see each other again.
it's all in the past.
for you it's in the past.
but i live through it every night.
every young girl dreams of
meeting her pri
of getting engaged and married.
i never had to dream, because david was always there.
i never looked at another boy,
and no other girl400 Y2:Yes?
i waited for david. i waited to become his wife.
julie! julie!
they wouldn't let me die, so i went back to the church.
the sun was no longer shining. i stood on the steps...
and turned around to look at the rooftops...
and when i went into the church...
it was not to pray, it was to make a vow.
i tracked the five of you down, one by one.
it took me a long time to find you.
let me out! listen to me!
i only listen to david.
i told you what happened! i'll do anything you ask!
- i want david. - i can't breathe!
i only want david, to hear him
laughing, to se
i want to see his eyes.
you took something from me, that you can't give me back.
are you there?
i know you're there, answer me.
let me out of here! let me out of here!
are you there?
what are you doing?
answer me! what are you doing?
you're mad!
hello, cookie. come with me.
let's talk.
cookie, let's see.
you said you played hide-and-seek
with your paph
what was the lady like?
she was funny. she played a game with us.
did your father hide under the stairway?
all of us took our turn.
- who was "it?" - the lady and me.
- what lady? - the one who was here.
i know, but who was that lady? who?
i told you. she's the lady who played with us.
when you played this game after dinner...
- who was the first to hide? - me.
- and then? - the lady.
- and then? - my papa.
you, the lady, your papa...
- you're angry with her? - what?
you're angry with miss becker?
- what did you say? - you're angry with miss becker?
- who is miss becker? - the lady who came here.

don't worry about it. i will see to the children.
thank you. all right.
the poor little boy. we were just talking about him.
i guess they'll ask me to take care of cookie.
they want to ask you a few simple questions.
i have to tell the principal.
he's been told.
don't try to influence the child.
well, cookie. is this she?
was i the lady, cookie?
cookie, was miss becker here
when you played
yes, miss becker was here.
and miss becker ate with my papa and with me.

on which there's a locomotive racing on the tracks.
well, is that enough? and now,

mission you've ta400 Y2:Yes.
this must be done, it's not a mission. it must be done.
- give it up. - impossible. i must continue to the end.
i see no remorse in your eyes.
don't you fear
no remorse, no fear.
you know, you'll be caught in the end.

good lord!
i was looking all over for you last year.
last year?
you're the image of the woman
i needed for m
exactly right for it. you're a bit too late, though.
this is one more time that stupid girl got it wrong.
yes, just right for it. so sorry.
but what about me?
i was thrilled to get to model for the great fergus.
- and besides, i could use
the money. - wel' 99 Y2:Wai
- well, i'll be seeing you. - wait.
just a second. i may have an idea.
come on in. where is that thing?
oh, here it is.
they've asked me to illustrate a book.
i didn't say no. i didn't say yes.
but now that i see you...
you see, the theme is diana
the huntress. it' 99 Y2:Wai
the publisher sent me these
things, a lot o
look at this.
they got her mixed up with tarzan.
well, all right, it's not complicated.
the costume, let's say white and short.
good, you better take care of that.
take this along. we'll start
work next time
all right? have it made at bertrand's.
- at bertrand's? - yes, bertrand's, the costume maker.
just tell him it's for me and that i'm in a hurry.
mr. fergus, i'm sorry. i'm afraid i told you a lie.
i was in the agency waiting
room when they td 99 Y2:Wai
to come here to work for you so
i made up my mind 99 Y2:Wai
how do you do, mr. fergus? the agency sent me.
- the agency? what agency? - they have guts.
well... well, you see, this has happened before.
that stupid woman gets things
wrong. i don't
- this is for your trouble. - oh, no.
take it. i think i've seen you somewhere.
sure, at the balto, often with massoulier.
- that's right. i've noticed you too. - have you?
what do you say we get together
some evening, but 99 Y2:Wai
i'd love that, mr. fergus.
- good-bye. - good-bye.
there you are. now you know, i'm a skirt-chaser.
but don't worry, you're in no danger.
good lord! i was so busy with
the front, i forgo99 Y2:Wai
that's thirty-six, twenty-three and thirty-seven, good.
when i'm in shape, i can tell a
woman's measuremen
well, let's get to work.
i'm attracted to that redhead because she's so vulgar.
i demand lots of vulgarity in my women.
it's part of life.
she didn't get the job, but she got on my list.
i simply must tell you about
my nightmare. l
it's morning, i'm in the street, i'm dressed...
and there are only women. no,
there are no wo
so i walk along... only men.
not a single woman.
and then i wake up in a cold sweat.
but everything's fine, because it's only a dream.
now listen. i walk around the
neighborhood in
and look the girls over in the cafes...
the way that some nuns do while collecting alms.
"i've collected from that one.
that one, not yet. i'
your nose is remarkable. so is your mouth.
if i were a writer, i'd write a book.
every place is the same, the subway, the train, the bus.
i get on, and immediately i look
around to see womet?
and when i find one, there's a feeling of relief.
and if there's more than one,
i have a way ofn
i don't make a pass or even give them the eye.
but i know they're there.
and if something occurred, let's say an accident...
suppose a subway train got stuck
all night betwen
yeah, well, anything might happen.
- does this shock you? - no. i'm very interested. go on.
anyway, even if i do shock you, you mustn't move.
i prefer to talk when i work.
listen. i often get out...
and wait on the platform for the next train.
and you know why? because there
is no interestin
if i stay, i feel i'm being stifled. i suffocate.
and you can't imagine how much i hate contact with men.
if a man sits down beside me, i change my seat.
there. now you change position.
let's see. your right leg... no, not crossed.
again at the left. good. your hands.
fine. try to hold it. still, i must say...
if i should see too many beauties
in one place orn
do you know what happens to me? i get depressed.
i think of those i will miss. i get dizzy.
it happens in the street. i see a beautiful girl...
walking in front of me, and my heart beats faster.
i hurry to catch up with her.
i look at her, n
then, believe it or not,
i'm relieved. i fi99 Y2:Wai
it's crazy. i've got something to show you.
all right, now. we're done for today.
look at the date.
- and i'd never seen you in my life. - it's possible.
this proves what oscar wilde said.
that nature imitates art.
- good-bye, see you tomorrow. - tomorrow.
- hello. - hello.
- who's she? - you passed her downstairs.
oh, her. i just saw her back.
i noticed her legs, not great, but nice.
- her dress was white. - you're right. that's her.
- her name is? - funny! i forgot to ask her.
where do we eat? at titine's or the customs house?
at titine's. this is massoulier's treat. he won his bet.
- what bet? - on the montreal-paris flight.
he succeeded in making the stewardess.
- he won two hundred francs. - it's worth it.
- hey, corey, what is it? - i'm just sort of thinking.
i know i've seen her.
as soon as i find a new girl, somehow you know her...
or if you don't, you have a friend who does.
no, this time it's like having
a name on the tip 99 Y2:Wai
has she posed for massoulier?
frankly, i don't think she's a real model.
- she gets tired too fast.
- i'm sure thatn
she's not from around here. i'd have noticed her.
- why? did you...? - no.
- no, she's different. - i detest that word.
when you say she's different,
don't forget what 99 Y2:Wai
all women are prostitutes.
except my mother:399 Y2:Wai
anyway, when you've seen one...
- it's you. good morning. - good morning.
- come in. do you have the costume? - right here.
great. you can change in the bathroom.
you'd never guess what those are.
they're falsies.
manufactured by a customer of
mine, an americn
he overestimated his sales
possibilities an
with eight thousand pair. so he sells them by the yard.
amusing, don't you think?
by the way, you didn't tell me your name yesterday.
- what's your name? - i don't dare tell you.
- it's such a ridiculous name.
- ridiculous. an
my name is alphonsine.
alphonsine!
that's a beautiful name.
i like it. it has the smell of earth about it.
ernestine, julie, charlotte.
a lovely name, alphonsine. and alphonsine what?
just call me diana. diana, that's all.
that's not bad.
- may i have your ring? - yes.
you may have it back later, if you're good.
but you need a bracelet.
it's not a piece of brass junk.
it's something
yes, on the right.
the girl is fine, the costume is fine, but from here...
you look more like a tennis
player than dian
we'll have to concentrate on detail.
let's take each thing on its own.
position of the feet, position of the legs.
and the hand taking an arrow from the quiver.
don't move your body.
you must be tired.
now you may rest a bit. like something to drink?
- i would. - cool or hot?

- do you want tea or coffee?
- tea. let me m'

i'll do it. i'd rather move around.
- what happened in your kitchen? - what?
i mean, what caused this hole?
that? that's a bullet hole.
a cop committed suicide in the courtyard.
- a cop? - yes, a cop. funny, isn't it?
he shot himself in the head. do you know why?
despair over love.
the whole thing was beyond me.
after all, who ever thinks of a cop being in love?
- what are you doing tonight? - nothing special.
- then, let's have dinner together. - absolutely not.
why not?
because i came to pose and when time's up, i leave.
then we can stop now.
we're going to stop?
i'm fed up. knocked out. we'll go on tomorrow.
- three o'clock tomorrow. - all right.
will you give me back the ring, please?
you must have a telephone. give me the number.
that's impossible. my ring.
i'll hold on to it. this way,
i'll know you'
all right. so long.
fergus, how are you? where have
you been lately? d. - cool or hot
nothing special. a little depressed.
the gang's at the balto. we'll cheer you up.
no, i'll stay home, if you don't mind.
i'll bet it's that girl. nothing doing?
yes, yes. it's all right.
i'm even spending m.
are you all right? it's nothing.
how could it happen? i don't understand.
it's all right, i tell you. it wasn't your fault.
it was lucky i broke my charcoal.
wait... i've got an idea.
both of us are alive. let's drink to that.
when i was a boy, my father would say...
champagne is to adults what milk is to kids.
do you know why the chinese

because it's mine.
good champagne?

and we'll have dinner on the seine, on a boat later.

i thought i was above all that.
now, i'm in love with you.
- don't run away! do you love me? - leave me alone!
it's not love i'm looking for.

i'm sure that i've seen that face somewhere before.
i'm going to find out where.
fergus, well, have you got it made?
shut up, will you! she's in there.

of psychiatrists don't you think

and morane and coral?
i've nothing more to say.
