"Hello" "Jack, it's you!" "You're not coming home again tonight?" "But it's been days since I've seen you" "Yes, Jack, I understand but..." "I hope you haven't forgotten you have a wife" "When am I going to see you?" "Fine, then, do as you please, goodbye!" " Ah, good evening, ma'am" " Good evening" "Jack?" "Are you here?" "Jack?" "Where are you, Jack?" "Florence!" "I phoned you on purpose to tell you that we wouldn't be seeing each other tonight" "What are you doing here?" "I wanted to see you" "How in hell did you ever get it into your head to come here at this hour of the night?" "You're never home any more" "This is why I thought to..." "What's wrong, Jack?" "If I don't work like hell I'll never catch him" "I can't sit around every evening waiting for you to come home" "It gets lonely" "You know I'm behind in my work" "Yes" "I've told you several times" "Of course I know that" "How could I help know it" "You know it but you do nothing about it" "You never stop reminding me of that fact" "But I want to remind you, how much I love you, how much I want you, and need you!" "Florence!" "Florence!" "..." "No!" "..." "No!" "..." "Stop that!" "Why not?" "Does it excite you?" "This is hardly the place!" "You don't want me?" "How can you push me away?" "If there's another woman, have the courage to tell me" "You're imagining things" "Imagining things?" "Do I just imagine, that you always sleep alone?" "That you're never in my bed?" "That... we don't make love anymore?" "Don't say that, bitch!" "But you're not sleeping with me, you must be sleeping with someone else" "You must be!" "What are you talking about?" "Tell me, Jack...." "Please." "You don't expect me to believe that you're not well" "No..." "No..." "Then you must be impotent!" "Was he mean to you?" "I waited up" "Well you shouldn't have!" "Beckham, that was foolish." "Why aren't you in bed?" "Good children with any sense are asleep." "I wanted to kiss you goodnight" " Goodnight" " Goodnight" "What's the matter?" "What's wrong?" "Everything..." "He slapped me!" "My husband is a beast!" "I'm so sorry." "Do you hear?" "A beast to hit me like that" "What on earth could have gotten into him?" "I don't understand how anyone can treat you that way..." "You're so... beautiful." "Yves doesn't love me any more" "Oh, that's not possible." "Something else must be wrong" "If only you know what I'm going through" "I don't know what to do" "I'm sure it's not as bad as you think" "Make him jealous" "It always works" "Let me help you" "I don't know." "Do you think so?" "I couldn't be a beast to him" "But, who with?" "Oh, no one really." "Just pretend, so he thinks you are." "I don't know what's the matter with me" "I think I'm going crazy." "It's such a state..." "It's horrible." "You're not going crazy." "It's just all women need loving" "Isn't that the truth?" "He's away from the house for days on end." "He must have a lover." "I'm sure of it!" "Now listen." "You have to fight fire with fire." "I know a way to help you when you feel you're ready." "I know I sound foolish." "I wonder what would happen if he got really jealous." "He might beat me to a pulp, or..." "Oh, he wouldn't do that." "He's too civilised, surely." "And besides, you're not really going to be doing anything." "Unless you decide..." "So now why don't you just stop your worrying?" " Yes, I..." " Let me comb your hair." "Start relaxing" "That's it" "Who is it?" "Who's there?" "Oh, it's you!" "It really frightened me." "I wondered who it could be" "Sorry, I..." "I didn't mean to intrude Forgive me" "Is there something wrong?" "Is there anything I can do for you?" "Dorothy, you remember you told me that if I came to your room you might be able to help me" "That's what you said, wasn't it?" "I really hate to see you suffer this way." "It's rotten for you, when there's no need." "You could be leading a rich and full sex life." "Do you think so?" "I certainly do, and I mean it!" "Oh, Dorothy..." "You must trust me, that's all." "I think I... ah, yes, I know a place" "I don't want to do anything I'll clearly regret" "I have no fear of that" "Sex is such a delicate thing" "I won't let you get hurt." "Leave it to me." "I feel so ashamed." "Just talking to you about this." "There's no need." "We all go through these crises." "It's only natural." "Go get some rest now, and dream sweet dreams" "Thanks" "Goodnight" "What's wrong with her?" "Nothing a bit of this won't cure." "I'll take her to the villa, tomorrow." "Malcolm didn't explain much, what am I supposed to do?" "You'll like her Tony, she's very beautiful" "Just make love to her." "That shouldn't be too hard for you!" "Now remember, don't ask any questions." "Don't say anything, got it?" "OK, you bet" "No, do it right away" "I'll be needing the car again." "Don't put it in the garage." "Uh, right, sir." " Everything ok, Dorothy?" " Everything's just fine." "Are you upset about something, Jack?" "You're not very talkative today" "That'll do, thank you" "Has there been a change in your plans?" "No, I just came home to get a change of clothes." "I have to get back to the museum right after lunch." "What you find so urgent in that nasty place I can't imagine" "We still have quite a bit of work to be done on the inventory." "It's going to take several more weeks." "Beckham, stop slurping!" "Didn't anybody ever teach you any manners?" "I don't know why you insisted on adopting this disgusting brat!" "It has the manners of a pig!" "As you know, it's a very old custom in my family for the eldest son to adopt an orphan boy and raise him as his own, giving him a good education" "The wilder, the brat, as you call him, is, the worse and more unruly he is, the more deserving and in need of kindness and attention he is" "Well, I think that's ridiculous" "Your family must all have been the most incredible bunch of crackpots to think up such an idiotic bit of nonsense to turn into a tradition" "I never heard anything like it in my entire life" "I know you have little innate respect for such things, Florence, but do try to be a bit more tolerant of other people's beliefs and ideas" "After all, this world is made up of all sorts of people" "How silly's that, who plead it's their right to take their lives into other's" "No, no, it's unfair and narrow-minded." "Let's stop this discussion right now." "Are you planning to spend the entire day under there?" "Dorothy!" "Yes?" "Will you see that this child finishes it's lunch?" "I've lost my appetite." "Yes, of course" "Since Jack's not around you could spend some time with me and maybe keep me company for a while" "I don't think so." "I just came in to say goodnight" "Would you kiss me goodnight?" "On the lips?" "On the lips?" "Alright!" "How did you learn to kiss like that?" "Easy." "It's coz I've seen them do it in the movies and on tv" "Ah well, now you must try to go to sleep" "I'm glad you're not my real mum" "Why not?" "Coz if you were my real mum I'd have to act like a son." "This way I can think of you as a girlfriend." "Goodnight." "Sweet dreams." "Aren't you ready yet?" "It's time to go." "Wait a minute, Dorothy, we have to talk." "Listen." "I don't want to go back to that place." "It was a mistake." "And I only did it because I was mad at Jack." "I was jealous, that's all." "I thought he had a mistress, but he really does spend all his time at that stupid museum" "I was all wrong" "Were you?" "Yes!" "I was a victim of my own silly imagination." "Don't be so sure" "What do you mean?" "I didn't have the courage to tell you openly inside out, I better just say it" "Don't tell me there is a woman?" "Uh-huh" "I don't believe it." "You're lying!" "I can prove it" "How?" "You can't prove anything!" "Yes I can" "Look, I don't want to but I don't want to hurt you" "It's too late for that." "Go ahead, prove it!" "I'll take you to the museum in a couple of hours." "Alright?" "That's when they leave." "You'll see." "Why are you so sad?" "You just worry about your homework" "What is it?" "Why won't you tell me what's the matter?" "You're still too young to understand" "That's what you think!" "I'm not too young to know what it's like to be lonely." "No, I guess you're not, unless I'm too old." "Now get on with what you have to do." "I see you're all ready." "Where are you going, all dressed up?" "I beg your pardon!" "Look, it's none of your business!" "How sweet!" "Looks like he's jealous." "I think that Beckham's becoming a man" "You're just going out to tease me!" "Exactly!" "Is there anything else you'd like to know?" "I don't like it!" "Ha, can you beat that?" "You're a real pest." "Car's ready, ma'am" "Malcolm, would you see that this wretched child is put to bed, right away" "Come on, kid, time for bed" "Now, do you want to go to bed on your own, or do I have to come and tuck you in?" "No, don't bother" "Dorothy." "That was just what the doctor ordered." "What a good idea to bring me here." " I knew it" " I haven't had so much fun in years" "Don't look now but there's a really cute boy staring at me" "Place your bets please, ladies and gentlemen s'il vous plait" "Play is over, no more bets" "Eight wins" "Place your bets" "No more bets" "Black" "Do you think he knows we've gone to their game?" "Not sure" "No more bets" "Six" "Oh well, it was too good to last" "All is lost... except love" "Alright, go and tell him where I'm going to be" "I've brought you a toy" "You like to play with a ball, don't you?" "It's very lucky... very lucky" "Let's see where it goes" "Ah, that's nice, that's nice" "Let's see where it finishes" "You like that" "Let's see where it goes next" " Where did you learn to do that?" " It's a secret... it's a secret" "There it goes." "You like that" "Do you want to taste it?" "That's it, that's it." "Now it's all wet, now it's all wet." "It goes down and down" "It likes you." "It likes you a lot!" "All done with this little thing" "Dorothy?" "Beckham, what are you doing here?" "You have no right to barge in like this!" "I want to talk to you." "You've been ignoring me for days." "What a shame!" "You go out every night" "You're beginning to sound just exactly like a jealous husband" "If I were your husband, I'd want you to be happy" "Alright, as long as you're here, you may as well make yourself useful" "You can wash my back for me" "I never set foot in this part of town, even in broad daylight" "Don't worry, we're almost there." "We're perfectly safe." "I don't feel in the least safe, people get murdered in this neighbourhood!" "Take it easy!" "Try to relax, we'll have a great time" "Come in, ladies" "You're expected" "Go right on up" "Thank you" "Incredible!" "I didn't think this type of place still exists" "Looking for somebody?" "Not necessarily" "Good, then you can stay with me" "Why would I want to do that?" "The only way you're going to find out the answer to that question is to stay" "Well?" "Where did you get these?" "Tell me who took these pictures." "I absolutely have to know!" "Go on!" "I found them, that's all" "You do those things with everyone." "You're one of those..." "Women that kids talk about at school..." "a whore" "Prostitute!" "Please come back here." "Beckham!" "Beckham?" "Oh, Beckham!" "Go away, I don't like you any more" "Listen to me, Beckham" "You have to behave like a man now" "I want you to help me." "Do you understand?" "If I mean anything to you at all, and I have the feeling I do" "You must tell me where you got hold of these photos" "There's a lot of them." "I've got 'em all." "And I'll take them to school and show everyone, if..." "What are you talking about?" "So long, and I got 'em all, and I said I'll take 'em to school and show everyone, if you..." "Tell me, you have to tell me." "Where did you get these photos?" "Alright, I'll tell you, but only if you promise you'll do all those things with me" "Beckham, that's blackmail!" "You don't mean that." "You're going to give me those photos aren't you?" "And this will remain our secret" "Alright." "But you have to give me something something personal of yours, so that I know you'll keep your promise" "Alright, here..." "Take this..." "It's a token... that I won't forget" "Is that all of them?" "Yes, every one" "And the negatives?" "There still at the house" "I've got a special top secret assignment for you" "Go back to the house and burn all those negatives." "Don't leave a trace." "Understand?" "Don't worry." "I'll take care of it." "I'm really counting on you." "I have to!" "Oh, it's not what you think." "Where did you find them, huh?" "Beckham found them." "That little snoop!" "How did he get inside the house?" "Were you planning to blackmail me, huh?" "You and Malcolm?" "He took those pictures, didn't he?" "How could you do this to me?" "No wait, I can explain." "I know it's hard to understand." "It sure is!" "And you are going to explain alright, and if you don't, you'll wish like hell you had!" "We were paid to do it." "It wasn't our idea." "Your husband" "I don't see how Jack knows." "All my indiscretions were public knowledge?" "How does he know?" "And why?" "He's impotent." "The poor fellow, he was so upset." "He didn't have the courage to tell you." "It hit him suddenly, out of the blue." "The doctors couldn't explain." "Stress, perhaps, overwork, that's why he hasn't come near you." "God, he loves you so much!" "He didn't know how to tell you." "He couldn't make love to you any more." "So he came up with this idea." "Your lovers were just standing in for him." "Those photos... were just... an illusion." "A way for him to... share in your pleasure." "A way for him to, to imagine you in his arms while you were satisfied by others" "Poor Jack!" "Enjoying you second-hand... through them." "So when he enlisted my aid, of course I agreed." "Who wouldn't?" "A few photographs didn't seem so terrible" "I admit he was generous." "Actually he did pay us for them, but it was really for the both of you." "You must believe me, Florence" "I was so sorry for the man." "I suppose it was foolish." "Yet I had only the best of intentions, I swear to you." "I love you both so much!" "And that woman at the museum?" "Oh, that was all arranged!" "She was just someone who was paid to do a job." " Good evening, Mrs De Vries" " Good evening" "It's a pleasure to have you" "What would you like to play tonight?" "Roulette?" "Baccarat?" "Chemin de fer?" "I haven't decided yet." "That couple at the roulette table?" "Yes, what about them?" "They're losing, aren't they?" "It looks very much like it I'm afraid." "But I shouldn't be discussing my clients." "How much?" "Madam, please!" "I cannot divulge a professional secret." "It wouldn't be ethical." "I hope you do understand what I mean." "Madam, I cannot allow you!" "Oh, but it wasn't just idle curiosity, they may be short of cash." "Come now!" "I can help them and you at the same time." "Can they cover their losses?" "I really don't know, but I doubt it" "I'd like to speak to them" "Would you be so kind as to inform them that I will be expecting them at the bar in a few minutes" "As you wish, madam" "Good evening" "The manager said you wanted to speak to us, so here we are" "I can cover your debt with the casino, if you're interested" "Yes, we're very interested" "Wait a minute, hey look, I'm not going to kill anyone for you if that's what you have in mind, ma'am" "No, nothing like that." "Where did you get such an idea, hm?" "I think it's a fair surmise." "For that kind of money one would expect that to be almost anything" "Jack, my love" "Florence" "I thought you'd been unfaithful." "So I betrayed you for revenge." "Why couldn't you trust me?" "I'm your wife." "You can share your problems with me, they're mine too" "I didn't know." "I love you so much!" "I didn't know how to tell you I wasn't a man any more" "Not a man?" "You're every bit the man I married." "You're so courageous, so handsome and masculine" "We'll get over this thing together" "I think we're over it already" "Oh, I love you, Jack!"
