"THE SHEPHERD'S MATE" "This is the moral of this story." "The best chess player... is the one who foresees a move ahead of his opponent." "Let's see this classic example... the so-called "the shepherd's mate"." "Only a debutante would fall for it." "It is her turn to play." " Going out?" " Yes." "I'm going to see Solange." "Give her my kiss." "See you tonight." "Take off your jacket." "Would you like a drink?" "More." "Where are you going?" "Be right back." " Darling." " My dear." "Honey, did you know that the Jivaro tribe... in order to honor a loved one... and show gratitude... used to offer her, on the evening of the third moon..." " a shrunken head?" " That's horrible!" "I agree." "I chose for this occasion..." "What occasion?" "This occasion..." " This fur coat." " What is it?" "A fur coat." "You like it?" "This fur will be the bet of the game." "Claire attacks Italian style." "Do not move." "Curtains." "Thief." "You can't sleep with it." "What are we going to do?" " With what?" " With Jean." "Jean?" "I cannot tell him." "Obviously." "So?" "What are we going to do?" "Make something up." "Say you found it." " Or that someone gave it to you." " Be serious." "At least, I suggested." "I have an idea, but I don't know." " You'll make fun of me." " Just say it." "Their plan is simple." "Place the fur coat in a suitcase... go to any station and pretend they're travelers." "Be right back." " There." " Did it work?" "Dames Augustines Street, 11." "How should I tell him?" " What?" " Where I found it." "Wait." "The perfect crime." " Good evening, Yvonne." "Is he home?" " Yes, ma'am." " Good evening, darling." " Good evening." "I'm late." "My taxi would not move." " Can we eat earlier?" " We could do it now." " Claire?" " Yes?" "I want to go to bed early." "I'm going to the office early in the morning." "Yvonne, when it's ready..." "I'm exhausted." "What would you do if..." "If what, my love?" "I would rest." " Look." " What is it?" "You see it's a baggage claim tag." "It was on the taxi floor." " Why did you take it?" " Well, I..." "You shouldn't have." " What should I do now?" " Throw it out." " I can't." "What if..." " Should've given it to the driver." " I didn't think of it." " Too bad." "Throw it away." "Maybe it's for something valuable." "I don't know, honey." "Leave it there." "It's wrong." "You think?" " What's wrong?" " The baggage claim tag." "Why?" "What do you want me to do?" "It would be nice to check." "We don't know what it is." "Perhaps there is an address." "We could return it." "But... if it were important, it wouldn't have been lost in the first place." "They would've been more careful." "It's worth taking a look." "If it is valuable, someone will claim it, the clerk will recognize it." "How could he?" "It's easy." "The person will describe what they lost." "Yvonne?" "Did you order everything?" "Everything?" "Things for tomorrow night." "You won't serve anything?" "Of course I will." "It is tomorrow, right?" "Because I called Chichette... and confirmed for tomorrow." "Yes, tomorrow." "So you won't do anything?" "I'll play a little piano." " I'm talking about the baggage tag." " What baggage tag?" " Is that all?" " Monday." "Monday." "The day of the Moon." "I'll go tomorrow." " You have a one-track mind." " Are you listening to me?" "I will go to the warehouse tomorrow." "Very well." "Everything is arranged." "You're unbelievable." "What is the matter with you?" "Do you want me to go?" "Do you really?" "Well, I will, dear." " Will you?" " Tomorrow morning." "I promise." "Are you happy?" "The next day, the game continues." "Claire moves her bishop." "You are kind." "I'm a fool, that's what." "Goodbye, darling." "Claude?" "It worked." "Not much." "+" "Yes?" " Your sister." " Pardon her." " Now, I'm your sister?" "Good morning." "Good morning and goodbye." "I just came to return this." " Was it good?" " No!" "I almost fell asleep." " Is your party tonight?" " Yes." "I hope you don't feel as bored." "Don't be silly." "May I?" "Please." " What?" "Is something wrong?" " No, nothing." "How's your love life?" "Me?" "What love life?" " Why?" "Do you have many loves?" " Many?" "I see." "It's time to get married." "It's not what you're thinking." "Everything is going very well." "That's nice." " Did you just buy it?" " It's my gray coat." " I have never seen it." " I've had it for a year." "You like?" " Very much." " Try it on." " Does it fit?" " I think so." " Keep it." " But..." " It's yours." "I never wear it anymore." " I don't want to exploit you." "What do you mean?" "You're weird." " I am?" " Yes." "I think you've been weird." "Really?" "Why?" "I don't know." "You're weird." "It's nothing." " You're seeing things." " Maybe." "Have you decided?" "So?" "It's late!" "I'm leaving." "Thank you." " Claire, you're a love." " Solange, you're an angel." " An angel..." " A lost angel... but an angel nonetheless." " See you tonight." " See you tonight." "This is where the wind turns and the board falls." "This is the first move for the mate." " Got it?" " It's here." " You are late." " I was delayed." "Come on." "What's the point if Yvonne sees it?" "Easy." "Come on, open it." " Careful." "What if it explodes?" " Don't be ridiculous." "A little patience now." "What is it?" "Rabbit fur." "Not bad." "Come on, don't make that face." "It's not worth it." " I told you these people..." " You took the wrong suitcase." "It could have been worse." "This may fit." "What should we do?" "We could give it to Yvonne." "Or throw it in the trash." "Come on." "Let's have lunch." "It's time." " What's wrong?" " Wait a minute." "You're making a phone call?" "Come on in." "Leave me be." "What happened?" "It didn't work?" "Is that a question?" "Yes, I'm asking." "No." " No, what?" " No, it didn't work." "But..." "Why?" "Take off your coat." "What happened?" " Tell me." " There is nothing to tell." "Did he find out?" " Not even that." "Nothing." " He didn't find the suitcase?" " Yes." " Explain." "I don't understand." "There is nothing to understand." "He brought the suitcase, it was empty." " What?" " Well, sort of." "That's nonsense." "That's all you have to say?" "Well..." "What do you want me to say?" "It's true that your husband..." "Please, leave Jean out of it." "But then what do you..." "I don't understand." "It's inexplicable." "Would you like a drink?" "No." "You don't want a drink." "Claude... you're going to be like that?" "We must do something." "Do what?" "I don't know." "But... there must be a way." "What way?" "We have no proof." " There's nothing we can do." " Do anything!" "What?" "What you want me to do?" "You're too soft." "You look like crap." " Thanks." " It's true." "Listen." "I don't want to poke the wound, but it was your idea." " So what?" " So nothing." "You agreed." "You planned everything." "So it's my fault?" "Sort of." " Lovely." " Please, no ironies." "But you..." "Where are you going?" " I'm leaving." "It's better." " You've just arrived." " Stay a while." " No." "I'm not in a good mood." " Ever more charming." " See?" "You do everything to annoy me." "Well, I won't insist." "Good." "See you later." "See you tonight?" " No." " What do you mean?" " You'd better not come." " Why?" " It's better." " Come on." "It's too much." "That's how it is." " When will I see you?" " Not tonight." "Are you coming over on Thursday?" "I don't know." "When, then?" "I don't know." "I'll call." "Promise?" "You'll see." "Don't you have anything else to say?" "Well..." "Perfect." "Goodbye." "I mean "See you soon"." " Are you tired?" " I'm fine." "Maybe you know..." "And now, the final move." "Claire understands whose it is." "Too late." "Thank you." "What's Delannoy's first name?" "Jules or Jean?" " Jules." " Really?" "Would you like a drink?"
