"For me, every day they slip away My innocent illusions" "And every night, another Autumn, As another leaf must fall" "And all of this for whom, for what?" "Is it for him, is it for you?" "If it's for you that I striptease I have to let you know" "Just between you and me, You 're half voyeur, half thug" "But these are only wild dreams From my lips to my garter" "For no-one, not even you, Will ever fay his hands on me" "That's the end of the striptease That makes you high and idealizes me" "Here is the flesh of the doll Her clothes all plucked away" "And yet, although completely naked Still I keep my innocent soul" "And I am still me in every way.."

"After you left last night... it was decided We'd rehearse on stage today, not in the studio" "For Clarville?" "Yes." "It might be Wise for you to stay away" "Yes I've lost the part anyway" "Ariane - 2 o'clock this afternoon at the theater" "For the Pavanne" "Not that afternoon and never again" "I 'd never see them or "their" ballet any more" "Like the end of a love affair" "After it goes sour, you make a clean break... so no-one sees the tears in your eyes" "Now ah' that matters is not to give up" "Well Ariane, nothing for me yet?"

"L'Amour, with a capital A" "I'd still be a dancer, but Paul's so possessive, he keeps me locked away" "But you haven't met the old man." "I'll introduce you" "But now tell me about yourself I've just quit the troupe." "I've no job" "C'mon, We'll sort something out for you" "Evening, Miss Dodo" "So, you see, it's all mine" "Look, it's Paul" "Class, eh?" "Behaves himself too" "Not that he deserves any credit."

"It's not the money." "I just couldn't do it it's not a career, but it can tide you over" "A girl here used to do a very spicy number... to pay her Way through Law School" "Still talking?" " We need your help, Paul" " Come to the office later" "It would keep me going for a While, Sam" "Yes dear, but what do you think?" "I don't Know." "I really don't." "it's not a rough place" "I must ind some Way to survive." "I can't Wait around forever it's all new." "At the start I bet it's just terrifying" "But it's not that bad" "No, it's a job." "But I don't believe it's a job for you" "You're the sort of gin Where it's going to show" "It isn't just a matter of stripping, it's What's always around you" "Anybody can become that sort, a secretary, a Waitress" "I didn't mean that it's a different life, Where everything's easy" "Paris, the drinking, the night life..."
