"Hi." "Morning, darling." "You're up early." "I'm back in school." "Well!" "I'm so glad." "Have a good day." "No stomach pain?" "No bleeding, vomiting, nothing?" "Have you told the father?" "Which one?" "If you want, we can narrow it down." "To within 2 or 3 days." "I couldn't care less." "See, there are no regrets." "Talked to your parents?" "Stop talking to me like that." "I'm not a baby." "The baby is here." "And he doesn't want a mother like me." "Or you don't want him to have you for a mother?" "Look, I don't want him." "When do we sign the thing?" "There's nothing to sign." "You have a week to think it over." "Slightest doubt, you call me." "All right?" "All right." "I'm sorry." "Been waiting long?" "No, don't worry." "We just got here." "We said 8:30, so we figured if we got here at 9:15 we'd only wait ten minutes for you." "Ella, take your bag off the table." "We want to talk to you." "I have something to tell you too." "Today, I..." "Would you please listen?" "You've taken 6 months off." " Five." " Five, whatever." "Your mother and I want to know your plans for this year." "Take the glasses off, would you?" "Well?" "Nothing." "I'm doing nothing this year." "What does that mean?" "Listen Dad, ball-breaking season was last June." "When I could register." "Now it's too late." "Not your fault." "You were away." "Ready to order?" "Steak tartar and a salad." "I'm not sure yet." "What will you have, darling?" "A pack of Marlboro Lights." "You have something to eat." " I'm not hungry." " Eat." "I can't make up my mind." "Lettuce hearts." "Oh, you have scallops." "What's that served with?" " Pureed parsnip." " Too rich." "I'll have a meat dish." "What's the lamb served with?" "Potatoes au gratin." "Do you have any vegetables?" "A wild mushroom fricassee." "That's perfect." "So the lamb with wild mushroom, not too well done." "Sorry." "No smoking in the cab." "It makes my dog cough." "Didn't you see the sticker?" "I said no." " With the fare?" " Yes." "I was chasing a taxi, I nearly broke my heel." " Your Gucci heel?" " No, my foot heel!" "Whew." "Scared me." "You came?" "What's going on?" " Greg's here with his whore." " Fuck." "You made off like a thief." ""Like"?" "Check your drawers!" "Who's that asshole?" "An asshole." "Aren't you sick of fucking a new asshole every night?" " You OK, Syb?" " No." "I hate him." "I just want to kill him." "Torture him, so he'll suffer like me." "I thought it was officially over with Greg." "What is it that could really hurt that cocksucker?" "Scratch up his ride." "Feeling better?" "Sometimes I'd like to look slutty too." "Yeah, I feel for you." "Hurry." "I hate when you do drugs." "It's not drugs, it's coke." "There goes Greg, minus the whore." " How you doing?" " Hey beauty queens." "Fuck, who threw champagne in my face?" "!" "You bastards!" "I love it." "Follow me." "You all right, miss?" "Want a handkerchief." "Can I drop you off?" "It's been a week." "You could've called." "I went to bed early." " And I was depressed." " Depressed?" " We're depressed too, you know." " It's no excuse." "It's not an excuse, it's a reason." "No." "My last depression was amazing." "Out every night!" "Go home right now, or else!" " I'm going to Steph's." " Not to that party!" "Why not?" " You're not!" " Yes, I am." "He hung up." "Of course." "You bust his chops like you were married." "You met him 2 weeks ago." "She did get him a $3,000 jacket." "I do what I want." "I guess you don't buy gifts too often." "Works the other way for you." "Get my drift?" "Yeah I do." "Third time you called me a whore." "I'd rather get spoiled than pay for a gigolo." "Get my drift?" "Syb!" " What are you doing?" " I'm fed up!" "She's flipping out!" "What are you doing?" "!" "Get down, slowly." "Let me finish this." "Leave me alone, Hell." "You can't always stop me." "Fuck, Syb." "Yesterday it was about Greg." "Now it's the gigolo, Vittorio!" "I don't want him at that fucking party." "What party?" "With whores, at Stefano's." "What?" "Get down slow." "Stefano's having a party?" "Mom?" "Mom, you there?" "Girls, Andrea's here!" "He's here!" " Forget it." " Who is he?" "Andrea San Severino." "He took my cousin Tatiana out." " Which one?" " Behind you." "Eight o'clock." "Be discreet." "First night, he wants to tie her to the radiator." "More exciting." "Stupid bitch said yes." "He tied her up, left, never came back." "So?" "Yeah." " Good start." " What?" "A champagne cork, darling!" "Don't construct, destruct!" "Construction is old hat!" "What is this thing?" "Who is it?" "My little Cassie!" "How are you?" " Uncle's not here?" " He left for Miami." "Stefano, this is Victoria." "Charmed indeed." "And Hell." "Stefano Tchechenko, the decorator." "Oh I get it." "Congratulations." "The decor is very..." "Very, very!" "Have fun." "Make yourselves at home." "Go on." "And destroy." "Don't leave anything intact." "Be right there." " Strike!" " Yes!" " What you got?" " Here." "Hi, girls." "Isn't my daughter with you?" "Sybil went beddy-bye." "Didn't sound good on the phone." "That's for sure." "I had to give her Xanax." "Threatened to kill you, then herself." "You could say thank you." "What are you looking at?" "Have a good one." "Show's over." "Vic!" "This party has all the winners!" "Almost ready." "Call the models." "Tasha, Carolina!" "Hey, easy." "Leave some for us!" "Let's go, whores!" "Chow down, then lay down!" "I do speak the language." "Yeah, Chris." "A little respect." "I already fucked you." "What now?" "Enough, I'm out of here." "No!" "Fuck, already?" "You're such a drag." "I'm afraid I'll start to like it." " Leaving already?" " I had a lovely time." "Thanks." "Oh, you don't know my wife." "Priscilla, get off your horse and say hello." "Pleasure." "Congratulations." "You have a little..." "Bye." "Come back any time." "I'm not a whore, sorry." "Can I drop you off this time?" "Where were you?" "Some stupid party, right?" " What?" " Nothing." "What do you do, besides cry and go to bars?" "I cry in bars, too." "You don't do anything." "And you?" "Me neither." "Here's to nothing." "You could look at me." "Miss, want to come up and sing?" "Yeah, she can sing." "She's just a little shy." "Come on darling, don't be coy." "Come on." "Don't "darling" me." "Once there was a ship, a little ship" "That ne'er did sail at all, at all" "Ahoy, ahoy, sailor please..." "Sailor boy sail o'er the seas" "He set out on a long voyage" "On the Med, Med, Mediterranean Sea" "Let's play a game." "It's called "Repeat after me."" "Just repeat after me." "I have a girl's name." "I don't know how to act with girls so I tie them to radiators." "Why?" "I want to fuck you." "True?" "True." "OK." "Let's go to your place." "No, we're going to your place." "I'll wait outside." "I'm such an idiot!" "Fast, please." "Go, go." "So you already knew my address?" "I once drove your friend here." "Who?" "I can't remember." "You already had a bad rep." "You remember someone with a bad rep." "You coming?" "It's big." "So, is it true about you?" "Is what true?" "You mean Tatiana?" "For example." "Ah, Tatiana..." "She was all over me, so I said I needed special conditions to get hard." "I suggested tying her to the radiator, but I didn't force her." "She practically tied herself up." "What happened next wasn't my fault." "We were out of cigarettes." "So I went to get some." "Problem is, at the store I ran into my friend Benji." "On his way to Deauville to gamble." "I went for the weekend." "But it all worked out." "The maid found her Monday and untied her." "I think she was a little upset, but anyway..." "I've done better." "With a friend of Tatiana's." "Just like with Tatiana," "I said I had a lot of trouble getting hard." "So I brought her to a club and asked her to go with guys." "Watching her would excite me." "She dives right into the fray." "Like a professional." "It turned me off and I left her there, in the middle of an orgy." "She didn't like that." "Doesn't shock you?" "Long as you don't do it to me." "I get the feeling you're not averse." "Sorry, it was an accident." "And I'm not averse." "But not with you." "Come here, take this." "Why not with me?" "I don't know." "It's you, dear." "Hi." "Waiting up for me?" "No, for your father." "Good night." "Hi, Dad." " Up early?" " No." "Seen my cell phone?" "No, haven't seen your cell phone." " Cool, cheap wine." " What time did you get in?" "How about you?" "Well, I'm off." "Asshole." "Don't empty the cellar in one day." "It's Chateau Margaux." "And after Stefano's you didn't go anywhere?" "Sure you didn't black out?" "I got a cab on the avenue and came home, if you're interested." "What kind of taxi?" "Green wagon, Chinese driver." "Call all the taxi companies, find a green cab, Chinese driver." "Funny." "You're calling me." "Yeah." "It's me, Cassandre." "Weird." "No Chinese accent." "Sorry, I didn't hear." "Andrea!" "Hi!" "How are you?" "Yeah, I'm just fine." "So I hear you got a new car." "A green station wagon?" "That is so wimpy, dude." "Yeah, she's right here." "Right, see you round." "No, it wasn't on purpose." "See you later." "So you went home really early?" "You got a good poker face." "Yeah." " Ella." " My wife." " Isolde." " Pleasure." "Diane." "Nice to meet you." "And Andrea." "How are you?" "And you?" "Something to drink?" "I just came by for my cell phone." "You got 15 calls." "Five from Bastard." "Who's Bastard?" "He's my banker." "Fine." "Octave should like that." "Octave is a banker." " Nobody's perfect." " Not bankers." "Besides losing your cell and hating bankers, what do you do?" "Actually, nothing." "Spreading cell phones through Paris and hating bankers are full-time occupations." "I think I will have that drink." "Of course." "Chablis?" "Vodka?" "A little crab?" " Vodka rocks is fine." " Vodka rocks!" "A little ice." "Poor bankers." "Look at Octave." "Gets up every morning at six to move money from A to B, and with such enthusiasm!" "Octave, to the absurdity of your existence." "I would say, to your shitty lives in this shitty world, on its last leg!" "These are really... these glasses are really sublime." "Where'd you get them?" "Murano." "Pretty, huh?" "Andrea, don't you like them?" "They're from my home, Italy." "I adore Italy." "If I do my thesis, I think I'll do it on the Sistine Chapel." "Excuse me." "Diane's an art history major." "That where they taught you to apply "sublime" to glasses?" "You could develop that in your thesis." "Just kidding." "I'm being mean." "Well, I work tomorrow and Diane has class." "Don't worry, I'm leaving." "I won't ruin your blind date." "Couldn't get a cab this time?" "Waiting for me?" "Not really." "I was curious." "To see how the date turned out." "You're stupid." "You know you want it?" "What?" " You want it." " Go fuck yourself!" "Had enough?" "Outside!" "What are you looking at?" "Nothing." "Well, you." "I look horrible." "Stop staring at me, dirty boy." "What do you mean horrible?" "Yeah, I look horrible." "And I got tiny shoulders." "What?" "Look at them!" "I have tiny shoulders." "I love your tiny shoulders." "How do you brush your teeth?" " What?" " You do this." "It's like this." "So?" "You spread it around, see." "You spread the dirt around, and then, like this." "Shit!" "Andrea!" " I love you!" " What?" "I love you!" "What?" "What did you say?" "Got the smokes?" "What were you saying?" "Nothing." "What were you screaming?" "I'm hungry." "What?" "I said, I'm hungry." "Then let's eat." "If you're hungry." "The sun is nice." "That's the sushi." "You get it." "Put something on." "Like shorts?" "That better?" "Much." "You're so hot." " You mean me?" " Yeah." " Boss not home?" " Yes he is!" "Too bad." "Have a good one." "Ah, sushi!" "Banderas, bend yer ass." "This bike is a pain." "I'm going to toss it in a window." " I'm taking it back." " Come here with that." "What an idea, buying me a bike." "It's not just a bike." "It's a Gucci." "Don't you like Gucci?" "Gucci is good for shoes, OK?" "Yeah." "I got you some Gucci shoes." " Never happy." " Quit showing off." " Will it fit?" " Yeah." "That's why I got it." "This one should fit." "You think it's all right like that?" "I'm afraid." "Then hold it." "You're such a bastard." "11 thousand, thank you Madam." "12 on the other side." "Buy the watch, it's classy." "You like it?" "I got the same one." "13 once, 13 twice..." "It's for the tsunami children." "And sold, to the lady in the hat." "Too late." "Hello, darling." "We're terribly late." " Your father?" " In the U.S." "So you stepped in?" "Sit down." "Hello." "Contribute?" "Some ugly dresses these ugly women should appreciate." "How about you?" "No, we're buyers tonight." "Pay a good price." "So horrible." "The tsunami, the kids." "Sit up straight." "Smile." "Reminding you that all profits from this sale are to benefit children who survived the tsunami of which yesterday was the first sad anniversary." "Please be generous." "It's tax-deductible to open those wallets." "We're laughing our heads off." "Have some champagne." "Right..." "Happy birthday, tsunami." "Lot number 8." "Ebony frames." "Art deco." "We open the bidding at 5,000 euros." "Who will go 5?" "Five thousand here." "Want some champagne?" "Maybe he's thirsty." "No, he drank before we left." "So you gave your old dresses." "How sweet." "Yes, but I think I'll buy something." "I ran out of things to give." "What about the mutt?" "Leave her alone." "A senile old bat." "Feeds hors d'oeuvres to her dog." "What do you give a shit?" "Phony charity." "Give what hangs loose." "You're so idealistic." "What else can you give?" "The mutt, her new dresses, the paintings that were in the frames." "Something it hurts to give up." "So we suffer too, like the kids." "You want to suffer like them?" "Go drown your parents and your house." "When you're in the street, naked, and someone give you clothes and food, you won't care why and how, who ponied up, what hangs loose, and a guilty conscience." "My mistake." "You're so right." "The thing is to get lots of money to get lots of food and clothes." "Exactly." "Let's be generous." "Exactly." "Give me the coat check ticket." "I'm getting something." " You don't have to." " I insist." "Back in two minutes." "Now to lot number ten." "A 19th-century vase..." "Excuse me." "Yes?" "Fine." "Well, thank you very much." "An unexpected contribution, which considerably modifies the program given to you at the outset this evening." "A magnificent sudden turn." "Someone here has been moved by grace, giving us the most superb lot of the auction." "All proceeds, I remind you, go to the children of the tsunami." "Look what I am holding." "Car keys." "The keys to a convertible Porsche Carrera." "A 996, mint condition, black with black interior, parked right outside, in which the donor, who will remain anonymous, drove here." "He'll walk home, for the cause." "You didn't." "35,000 euros." "Thank you, sir." "We're on the road." "37, Mrs. Vassiliev." "38, by the young man in the suit." "39." "40,000 for the man in black." "Ladies and gentlemen, let's not be outdone by the youngest bidder!" "Though the car would become him." "45,000, Madam." "You sir, sorry." "I have 50,000 now." "I have 50,000 euros once, twice..." "Sold to the young man in black." "Congratulations." "You'll love it." "It's a monster." "I think we should go." "I was just starting to have fun." "Another 15 minutes, you'd have put my apartment up." "What are we doing?" "I just bought a car." "Let's try it out." "Hey." "Showing off in that heap?" "Yeah." "Flash your lights, asshole!" "Won't pass me." "Fuck off!" "You're as stupid as he is." "I tried the cell, no answer." "And the voice mail is full." "He's been back from New York 2 weeks?" "No, I didn't know." "Nothing important." "Just tell him his son called." "Thanks." "See you soon, Aurelie." "You like your dress?" "Nice name, Aurelie." "You were there?" "I just got here." ""See you soon, Aurelie."" "She's a friend." "A friend you beg to speak to your father, who got back two weeks ago?" "What is this?" "I don't get it." "You'd rather I get jealous?" "Instead of telling me your father got back 2 weeks ago, and won't take your calls?" "My father always calls back." "He's just busy at work right now." "He's a motherfucker." "A motherfucker, that's all." "It's no big deal." "Don't call him a motherfucker." "He's busy, I said." "We're here thanks to him." "We're here because of him, not thanks to him." "The Porsche... is how many unanswered phone calls?" "Fuck, I told you he's working!" "Yeah?" "And you'll do the same with your kids?" "If you work some day?" "Will they get Porsches too?" "Get off my fucking back." "I don't get you." "Oh Tatiana." "I was hoping it wasn't you." " It's me." " Yes, it is." " How are you?" " Just fine." "See?" "I got untied from the radiator." " You're looking very well." " Very." "I've changed." "You couldn't pull that crap with me anymore." "I'm so happy for you." "Tatiana, this is Hell." "I heard about you two, but I didn't believe it." "Of course, who cares?" "True, who cares?" "Judging from your faces, doesn't look like it's going great." "Have a nice night." "Good luck." "Don't listen to that bitch." "Sorry." "I'm such a klutz." "I'll bring you another one." "What is it?" "I can't stand this place." "We just got here." "Funny, seeing all these assholes hold still." "Everything's funny to you." "Racing cars between red lights, watering holes for assholes." "Yeah, it is funny." "To the past." "Everybody here?" "Sweetheart!" "How are you?" "Going out later?" "Come with us, we'll party." " No, we're tired." " So are we." "Just look at us." "I said I was tired." "You know how to get past this." "Here." "Don't mention it." "Not with your father." "I'm telling you." "Hi." "Sorry, this is your seat." "It's been a while." "Got something to justify?" "Like my seat?" "Keep it." "Stop playing hurt." "Why were you in the bathroom so long?" "What do you think?" "Well, you have a nice evening." "Right, get lost." "Hang on." "Apologize." "What?" "Apologize." "Fuck you." "Good night, Diane." " See you soon." " I'm sorry." "Stop apologizing." "You're pathetic." "Diane's a nice, respectable girl." "Watch your tone." "That was very nice what you just said." "Really." "Very moving." "You should have kids with a girl like that." "You have that same smile on your face." "Which disgusts me." "Then why are you here?" "I'm finishing my cigarette." "Finish, we'll go home and fight in private." "Home?" "You go home." "I'm going out." "I doubt it." " You doubt it?" " Yeah." "I'll go out if I want to." "With or without you." "Know what?" "I prefer without you." "Go watch DVD's and smoke dope." "I got better things to do." "I don't get it." "Really?" "Want to go out?" "Let's go out." "Have a good one!" "Sit down." "Do I disgust you?" "Nothing disgusts me." "Lean your head back." "It's going to be cold." "It's cold." "Spit." "You OK?" "Shit!" "What is this glass?" "Hi, darling." "Where were you?" "I've been waiting forever." "Sorry." "It's so late at night." "Where were you?" "I went to think." "You OK?" "Head doesn't hurt too much?" "Less than yours, I'm sure." "Seeing how you went to bed." "What do you know?" "I put you to bed." "Should I thank you?" "Not necessary." "Give me a smoke." "This can't work." "No, this can't work." "What did you just say?" "We want different things." "That's for sure." "You want nothing." "Nothing, nothing." "Zip." "Already?" "Yeah." "I'm thirsty." "Want some?" "What is this game?" "Drink." "What for?" "Let's have a contest." "What are you talking about?" "Let's have a contest." "You give up?" "So I win." " No." " Yes." "Three glasses." "Three apiece." "You're not supposed to do that." "Here." "No, I don't do that." "Fresh start." "Now finish this bottle, and we'll see if you can get another one." "I won." "Fine, I'll get another bottle." "All right, all right." "They're both crazy." "Come here." "Not a single star." "Oh shit." " Can't stay here." " We're going." "Give us five minutes, we're talking." "You own this car?" "Registration and insurance." "Registration... and insurance card." " Looks in order." " Yeah, too bad." "License." "What is all that?" "Give it to me." "Dumbshit." "It's a no-standing zone." "Don't you read the papers?" "This is a police state." "You can't shut up." "Idiot." "Don't call me an idiot." "Car full of coke and your papers are phony." "They're not phony, there's just too much of them." "Now shut up." "Don't." "This is the 21st century." "Women burned their bras 30 years ago so macho assholes wouldn't treat us like shit!" "Hang on a second." "I'm begging you, shut up." "Again?" "You putting me on?" "You too stoned to hear me?" "You take narcotics?" "Keep out of it." "This is between me and him." "First of all, lower your voice." "Get out, sobriety test." "What?" "!" "Wait a second." "Nice going." "Chew some gum." "It fools the balloon." "With what's in your blood, you'll get life." "OK, he did it." "Can we go now?" "Well, well." "Down to the station." "Hang on!" "He drank a little, who doesn't?" "Calm down, Miss." "Maybe you had a couple of snorts." "Take the test." " Take a cab home." " I will not!" "Search her." "Women don't just open their bags!" "There's nothing in it." "I don't know what that is." "It's not mine." "What is it?" "Come along with us." "Officer, someone has it in for me." "He planted that in my bag." "Lots of people hate me." "I swear it's not mine!" " It's mine." "She's just holding it." " Right." "Can you stand her all night?" "Kid's right." "Put her in a cab, send her home." "Don't call me kid." "I'm staying with him!" "Get in the cab, Hell!" "You watch it!" "Cooperate, Miss." "We don't have all night." "You got me on narcotics possession." "There's no infraction." "No infraction?" "Take me in." "You committed no infraction." "Motherfucker!" "Dirty pig!" "Fuck the cops!" "Fuck the cops!" "Down with Sarkozy!" "Assaulting an officer, right?" "Let's go downtown!" "Almost done there?" "I'm sick of this!" "I'm tired." "If I spend my whole life in the shower," "I'll never be clean again." "Me neither." "Doesn't matter." "We'll be dirty together." "My mother, Ella..." "Hello, ma'am." "Nice to meet you." "Sorry, but I can't say the same." "What are you doing here?" "You think I'm an idiot?" "I wake up to a call from the police." "My dear son roams the streets in that stupid Porsche with enough cocaine in the blood to kill two his size..." " Been taking drugs long?" " I don't." "I guess you got him started?" "Yes, ma'am." "Does it amuse you, what you've done to my son?" "Just the opposite." "Leave her alone." "We spent the night in a cell." "We're tired, dirty." "All we want is for you to leave." "We'll talk about this later." " I'm going to bed now." " Don't walk away." "This is serious." "A serious thing is happening." "Think I never saw that crap destroy people?" "Think I don't know what it is?" "It was the 60's." "You took LSD with Dad at Ibiza." "I know." "I heard this story." "Don't talk to me like a stupid biddy." "I want you to stop this crap." "And stop seeing that girl." "Hi, this is Hell's voice mail." "Leave a message." "Yeah, it's me." "Look, I found a shoe." "One of yours." "I want to return it." "I mean I want to see you." "I want us... to see each other." "That's all." "Call me." "Excuse me." "Can I have a Schweppes please?" "Right away, Miss." "I'm happy to see you." "Why'd you leave?" "To save you." "Nice going." "Of course I almost died." "Yeah, it was that or..." "You love me?" "What about you?" "No, you first." "What does that mean?" "My love, you're home?" "I've been calling for 2 hours!" "Wait, we have to talk." "What?" "You look worried." "Did she threaten suicide?" "Of course not." "I told you not to go." "You're too nice." "An ex is a nightmare, especially neurotics." "Don't talk about her." "It's because I love you." "She's right." "You're too nice." "Hi, Diane." "You can't imagine what us neurotics might do." "Never show up unannounced." "Showing up unannounced means confronting reality." "You're the kind who hides it away, going with a guy who's playing you." "Quit it, Hell." "Please." "Get dressed." "You look like a porn actor with your fly open." "Could you go now?" "What?" "Kick her out, please." "Watch it or I'll kick you out." "Hang on, I don't get this." "You fuck me like you just got out of prison and you're kicking me out?" "You really are a coward." "Not this." "Well I can take a hint." "A quick lay is a quick lay." "I don't like to hang around." "By the way, as to your question, the answer is no, of course not." "I have never loved you." "Look at me." "Do I look like I love you?" "Do I look like I love you?" "Wedding present." "I'm sorry." "How could you do that to me?" "What?" "How could you do that?" "In our bed?" "Our bed is my bed." "You can talk." "So answer her." "You're a big girl." "I'm your man, not your lawyer." "You let that whore talk like that?" "Don't call her a whore." "What do you call a girl who'll fuck anyone, has an abortion, not knowing who the father is?" "What are you saying?" "Guess you weren't too intimate." "It's true, I'm a coward." "I should've told the truth instead of sparing you pain." "I should've kicked you out, like she asked." "Because the truth is," "I'm crazy about that girl." "I can't help it, I am." "What are you doing?" "I saw you, you crazy bitch." "You can't start this." "What?" "It's coke, it's not drugs." "I'll leave it for you." " Ella here?" " No, haven't seen her." "What is it?" "Accident in the tunnel." "Hey, Miss!"
