Short filmTranscript
00:00:00We traveled, we laughed, we fought.
00:00:22We held hands through sad movies, drove too fast, walked too slow.
00:00:28We picked out paint swatches and debated life insurance policies.
00:00:33We did all the things that married couples do.
00:00:40And then one day, a door opens and...
00:00:44Surprise!
00:00:46Did you know about her?
00:00:50I know, I had no idea.
00:00:52Fantastic.
00:00:53My mother's hand.
00:00:55Mom.
00:00:57Margaret!
00:00:59I wonder if you could keep a secret, huh?
00:01:01There we go!
00:01:02Congratulations.
00:01:04Congratulations.
00:01:05How did you do it?
00:01:06Congratulations, you two.
00:01:09Oh, pies.
00:01:11How did you do it?
00:01:13Congratulations.
00:01:15Look at you.
00:01:16Look at you.
00:01:17I always miss selling pies.
00:01:19Congratulations.
00:01:20Did anyone invite you?
00:01:22Hi, Harry.
00:01:23Hi.
00:01:24This is great.
00:01:25Did they throw confetti?
00:01:26Evidence.
00:01:27I didn't miss the confetti, but I have a good excuse.
00:01:31You never guess what I did.
00:01:33Rob a makeup counter?
00:01:34Do I, don't you?
00:01:35How soon they forget.
00:01:37It was.
00:01:38Come here.
00:01:39I can take a hint.
00:01:40Congratulations, sweetie.
00:01:41Hi.
00:01:42Hi.
00:01:43Hi.
00:01:44Hi.
00:01:45How do you think...
00:01:46Hi.
00:01:47Hey.
00:01:48Who is it?
00:01:49Why are you showing me these?
00:01:50Look close.
00:01:51Who is it?
00:01:52I took good wall photographs.
00:01:54This is you?
00:01:56Uh-huh.
00:01:57Oh my God, you look so different.
00:01:59Feather boa and high heels?
00:02:02Yes, isn't it a kick?
00:02:03Oh, and it gets better.
00:02:04I bought you a gift certificate for your anniversary.
00:02:07Your anniversary.
00:02:08You're going to do it, too.
00:02:09Oh, no.
00:02:09Oh, yeah.
00:02:10No, no, no.
00:02:11I don't like people even seeing my feet.
00:02:13Oh, Dale will love it.
00:02:15He'll probably get an enlargement for over the fireplace.
00:02:18Yeah, just what we need to spice the place up.
00:02:20Hello?
00:02:21It might spice up something else if you get my two minute meeting.
00:02:24Well, I appreciate the sentiment.
00:02:25But even if you paid me, I would never do this.
00:02:28Oh, come on.
00:02:29Don't knock it till you try it.
00:02:30Joanna?
00:02:33You could surprise yourself, Joanna.
00:02:34Then we got together.
00:02:35Oh, hi.
00:02:37Oh, hi.
00:02:38Hi.
00:02:39Good job.
00:02:40Here.
00:02:41Congratulations.
00:02:43I'm Katherine.
00:02:44I joined your husband's law firm about three months ago.
00:02:46Oh, hi.
00:02:47I know.
00:02:48Well, I hope he's let you go home at least once since then.
00:02:53We've worked some late nights together.
00:02:55But he's a wonderful man in order to tell you that.
00:02:59Congratulations, sweetheart.
00:03:01Thanks, Mom.
00:03:02This is great.
00:03:03So, um, where were you before Gullah and Lehman?
00:03:10Dale did his homework.
00:03:11Stole me away.
00:03:12I got an assignment for you.
00:03:17That sounds suspicious.
00:03:19It's a good assignment.
00:03:21What?
00:03:22Just dangling the carrot.
00:03:24You'll come by the office tomorrow.
00:03:26Who's the redhead?
00:03:28Oh, um, lawyer.
00:03:30The room is full of them.
00:03:31They make me sweat.
00:03:33I didn't know you had so many friends.
00:03:35Most of them are Dales.
00:03:37What's the guy have to do to get a drink around here?
00:03:40Out of me.
00:03:42There you go!
00:03:43Go, Joanna!
00:03:44Go, Joanna!
00:03:45Go, Joanna!
00:03:46Go, Joanna!
00:03:51You know what they say about marriage?
00:03:54It's your last best chance to grow up.
00:04:01The last best chance to grow up?
00:04:04I have to say something.
00:04:06Remember what you said at our wedding?
00:04:10During the toast?
00:04:15You said that you weren't afraid of growing old.
00:04:18That you were afraid of growing old without me.
00:04:21Remember?
00:04:25Did I say that?
00:04:27Yes.
00:04:30You still feel the same?
00:04:36Then I told that joke about the dog, right?
00:04:43The joke you remember.
00:04:45Yeah, of course.
00:04:58In D-W-L-E-S-A-P.
00:05:01Hi, Sel.
00:05:02Hi, Joanna.
00:05:03How are you?
00:05:04Great.
00:05:06Okay, so you got me here.
00:05:09So, cut to the chase, Harry.
00:05:11Okay.
00:05:12She's agreed to do the article.
00:05:14She just has to approve the writer.
00:05:18The woman in the center.
00:05:19Madame Simone.
00:05:20At the last coming out party she gave in Paris.
00:05:24Madame Simone.
00:05:27As in real madam?
00:05:29Yeah, sort of.
00:05:30She's hard to define.
00:05:32Try.
00:05:34All right.
00:05:35She hand picks these girls from chorus lines, runway shows.
00:05:40She selects their clothing, their lingerie, their makeup.
00:05:43She hires tutors to teach them art, history, wine, you name it.
00:05:49When all that's done, Madame Simone takes her little black book and she matches her girls to aristocrats, millionaires, prime ministers from all over the world.
00:05:58You've got to be kidding.
00:06:00She's a legend in Europe.
00:06:02She's a pimp.
00:06:03That's a little oversimplified, even for you.
00:06:06If she makes money off of it, she's a pimp.
00:06:10Yeah.
00:06:11She makes money for the introductions.
00:06:13These girls are not hookers.
00:06:16It's more like a high-class dating service.
00:06:20And many of these girls end up marrying these men and raising families.
00:06:24So what's the punchline?
00:06:26I want you to fly to Paris.
00:06:28Do a feature article on her.
00:06:30A photographer will meet you there.
00:06:36Harry, I do investigative pieces.
00:06:39Sociological topics.
00:06:41What do I know about garter belts?
00:06:43Garter belts.
00:06:44Who knows about garter belts?
00:06:45That's why you're perfect.
00:06:46I want an investigative piece.
00:06:48Get behind the curtain.
00:06:50Find out who Madame Simone really is.
00:06:53Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
00:06:57A few weeks in Paris would be nice.
00:06:59Well, I appreciate the enthusiasm.
00:07:00No, you don't.
00:07:01It's flying right over your head.
00:07:03You should jump up and hug me and say,
00:07:05yes, Harry.
00:07:06Thank you, Harry.
00:07:07It is not a good time for me to leave town right now.
00:07:10I need to stay home and look at things.
00:07:14Look at things.
00:07:15What are we talking, sunsets?
00:07:17Or your husband?
00:07:20I haven't looked at a sunset in a very long time.
00:07:24We've known each other forever, you and I.
00:07:26What's going on?
00:07:31I think he might be thinking of someone else.
00:07:36Thinking? That's all?
00:07:38Maybe more, I don't know.
00:07:41Okay.
00:07:42So I hate him.
00:07:44But I love him.
00:07:47I hesitate to say this.
00:07:48No, but you will anyway.
00:07:50You've been smart about everything in your life, Johanna.
00:07:53Except Dale.
00:07:59Nevertheless, this is not a good time for me to leave town.
00:08:01So, you will have to give Madame Simone just something else.
00:08:05Hey.
00:08:07I just want to make sure you're okay.
00:08:11I will be.
00:08:12Oh, wait.
00:08:13Going over some briefs for tomorrow.
00:08:15So how is it, Dale?
00:08:17What?
00:08:18Our marriage.
00:08:19I'm wondering if you're still here.
00:08:20I'm just tired.
00:08:21If it's gonna be bad, don't make me work so hard.
00:08:25I'm just tired.
00:08:26If it's gonna be bad, don't make me work so hard.
00:08:29Going over some briefs for tomorrow.
00:08:34So how is it, Dale?
00:08:37What?
00:08:39Our marriage.
00:08:43I'm wondering if you're still here.
00:08:46I'm just tired.
00:08:48If it's going to be bad, don't make me work so hard for it.
00:08:55Joanna.
00:08:58Things have been...
00:09:17Well, you know how things have been.
00:09:20We smile, we pass, we move to our own corners.
00:09:27You'll come home late.
00:09:28We haven't made love in over two months.
00:09:35You have a choice between making love and making a sandwich.
00:09:40You pick the sandwich.
00:09:43That should tell you something.
00:09:45I just thought you were hungry.
00:09:47Joanna, you can't deny we've been lost for some time.
00:09:57What happened?
00:09:59What changed?
00:10:00Nothing.
00:10:02You are very much the woman I married.
00:10:07What is that supposed to mean?
00:10:09I was looking for calm, stability.
00:10:15You were it.
00:10:17And now?
00:10:20I don't need the same things anymore.
00:10:22So, you've used me up, and now it's time to move on?
00:10:33That's not it.
00:10:35Well, then what is it, Dale?
00:10:37You might want to be clear.
00:10:40This could be important.
00:10:41We should talk about space.
00:10:52Space.
00:10:54I'm just saying...
00:10:56a break.
00:10:57People who have been married ten years do not take a break.
00:11:04That is not what they do.
00:11:09We should try counseling.
00:11:11I've mentioned it before.
00:11:13I'm not sure.
00:11:15I've looked into it.
00:11:16Joanna, I'm not sure we should stay married.
00:11:18I believe her name was Catherine.
00:11:39Is that it?
00:11:40I said it to you yesterday.
00:12:05I didn't really believe it.
00:12:10What did he say?
00:12:12Space.
00:12:14Time.
00:12:17Another woman.
00:12:19Great guy.
00:12:22It felt really, really bad.
00:12:25Feels worse now.
00:12:27Hey.
00:12:28You just took the bullet.
00:12:29You've got to give it some time.
00:12:31Anyone know the really terrible thing?
00:12:33He didn't even have the decency to leave me for a younger woman.
00:12:37She's my age.
00:12:40You'll land.
00:12:43I've known you for a long time.
00:12:46B.D.
00:12:48Before Dale.
00:12:49Dale.
00:12:54I can't even remember a time before him.
00:12:58It's like every memory has him in it.
00:13:02Selective memory will kill you.
00:13:05Don't do this to yourself.
00:13:07You know, the last thing I said to him.
00:13:14I told him that he forgot his toothbrush.
00:13:20I really said that.
00:13:22Well, I cannot just stand and stare at the empty spaces in the house.
00:13:30I...
00:13:31Even the refrigerator makes me sad.
00:13:35I've got to get out of town.
00:13:36I've got to change something.
00:13:39Is Paris still an option?
00:13:42Paris?
00:13:44Are you sure?
00:13:45Tell Madame Simone to get ready for her close-up.
00:13:50I don't know.
00:13:51I don't know.
00:13:51I don't know.
00:13:52I don't know.
00:13:52I don't know.
00:13:52I don't know.
00:13:53I don't know.
00:13:53I don't know.
00:13:54I don't know.
00:13:54I don't know.
00:13:55I don't know.
00:13:55I don't know.
00:13:56I don't know.
00:13:56I don't know.
00:13:57I don't know.
00:13:57I don't know.
00:13:58I don't know.
00:13:58I don't know.
00:13:59I don't know.
00:13:59I don't know.
00:14:00I don't know.
00:14:00I don't know.
00:14:01I don't know.
00:14:01I don't know.
00:14:02I don't know.
00:14:03I don't know.
00:14:04I don't know.
00:14:05I don't know.
00:14:06I don't know.
00:14:07I don't know.
00:14:08I don't know.
00:14:09I don't know.
00:14:39I'll be asked to wait, then I'll take you back to the hotel.
00:15:05Bonjour, Madame expects you.
00:15:18This way, please.
00:15:39You are Joanna Scott.
00:15:52I am Madame Simone.
00:15:54Your subject.
00:15:55No, I'm sorry, but it's impossible.
00:15:59I'll remind you later in the day.
00:16:01At 4 o'clock, yes.
00:16:03Very good.
00:16:07My apologies.
00:16:08Where were we?
00:16:10Just saying hello.
00:16:11Oh, hello.
00:16:12Come.
00:16:13Let me move this chair for you.
00:16:15And voila.
00:16:16Sit.
00:16:18Have you been to Paris before?
00:16:21Yes.
00:16:22Once.
00:16:23Honeymoon.
00:16:24Yes.
00:16:25Divorced?
00:16:26Divorced?
00:16:28Divorced?
00:16:29Why would you ask that?
00:16:31Oh, to see if you would answer.
00:16:36I'm married, going on 10 years.
00:16:38Really?
00:16:39Really?
00:16:40Yes.
00:16:41This is supposed to be just a general first meeting.
00:16:45In general, I laugh at dirty jokes if they are funny.
00:16:47I smoke a cigar when the moment takes me.
00:16:49And I do not care for the way your left eyebrow lifted
00:16:52when you said hello.
00:16:54I believe that we should do not bother to defend.
00:16:57Dump out your purse.
00:16:58Excuse me?
00:16:59I might.
00:17:00Dump it.
00:17:01Why?
00:17:02No.
00:17:03No.
00:17:04No.
00:17:05No.
00:17:06No.
00:17:07No.
00:17:08No.
00:17:09No.
00:17:10No.
00:17:11No.
00:17:12No.
00:17:13No.
00:17:14No.
00:17:15No.
00:17:33You will do.
00:17:35If I had discovered crumpled dollar bills
00:17:38and all candy wrappers, I would have shown you the door.
00:17:41This is my girl's first test.
00:17:43I thought maybe you should pass, too.
00:17:46Shall we talk about your girls?
00:17:48We do not need to talk. We can meet.
00:17:55Envoyez Suzette et Wendy, s'il vous plaît.
00:17:58Oui, madame.
00:17:58Merci.
00:18:02Ah, Wendy, Suzette, this is Joanna Scott.
00:18:06Bonjour.
00:18:06Hello.
00:18:08Hello.
00:18:10Venite.
00:18:13What do you think?
00:18:18Quelque chose de meilleur.
00:18:20He'd like something.
00:18:22He likes grace. It is too formidable.
00:18:25It's too flawed.
00:18:26This isn't just for a date.
00:18:29I'm getting married.
00:18:31To one of Madame Simone's clients?
00:18:34Mm-hmm.
00:18:35She introduced us. She's also giving me away.
00:18:39Only if he is true.
00:18:40If I see anything else, I will shoot him on sight.
00:18:44You think he is wonderful.
00:18:47Yes, chérie.
00:18:49In fact, I do.
00:18:52Find something else.
00:18:54So we try again.
00:18:56Do many of your girls marry clients?
00:18:58Let us get the verbiage out of the way.
00:19:03Girls and clients.
00:19:05That was Wendy.
00:19:07She's a lovely young woman from Oklahoma.
00:19:10I met her at a Paris Couture show.
00:19:13She has a golden setter puppy and a stamp collection.
00:19:18Her fiancé is Mr. Rick Stockwell,
00:19:21an industrious, globetrotting financier.
00:19:24He also has a setter.
00:19:29A stable of horses,
00:19:31collects old coins,
00:19:33and splendid oil paintings.
00:19:36Well, it all sounds very impressive
00:19:37when you wrap it up in a nice bow.
00:19:40But it's still just about sex, isn't it?
00:19:43I do not set up sex.
00:19:46I set up the dream,
00:19:48which is romance,
00:19:52companionship,
00:19:53devotion.
00:19:55Almost anyone can get sex.
00:19:58Sex is easy.
00:20:00But you do teach these girls to seduce.
00:20:04Seduction is about emotion.
00:20:06It is not a physical act.
00:20:08So you're telling me that these girls
00:20:10do not sleep with the man on the first date?
00:20:13Do you sleep with the man on your first date?
00:20:16I don't see how that's relevant.
00:20:17They are just like anyone else.
00:20:20If they like the gentleman,
00:20:21they do as they please.
00:20:23And if they do not,
00:20:24they leave him at the curb.
00:20:26So what is the point?
00:20:29Ah, Americans.
00:20:29What is the fastest way
00:20:32from point A to point B?
00:20:34A straight line.
00:20:36Non, chérie.
00:20:37A soft curl.
00:20:39Come.
00:20:50Why did you agree to this interview now?
00:20:54Oh, New York called.
00:20:55It was one of those days.
00:20:57I said yes.
00:20:58You are not used to topics with sugar on top.
00:21:04I am not Bill Gates.
00:21:09And did he dazzle you
00:21:11with his knowledge of computer chips?
00:21:12You read my book.
00:21:14You are not the only one to do research.
00:21:19Why did they choose you to write this?
00:21:23Why?
00:21:24That is my question, yes.
00:21:25I suppose it's because
00:21:28I always come back
00:21:29with a solid story.
00:21:31Somehow,
00:21:32I think you were chosen
00:21:33for another reason.
00:21:36Meaning what?
00:21:37Je ne suis pas sûre.
00:21:39Something hangs in your voice
00:21:41like an unfinished thought.
00:21:44We shall see.
00:21:51Ah, des voilà.
00:21:52I like this new dress.
00:21:57Do you like it?
00:21:58I love it.
00:21:59Yes, you look beautiful.
00:22:01It floats.
00:22:03C'est très bien.
00:22:03C'est très bien, les enfants.
00:22:04Come on, Ké, let's go.
00:22:07Tomorrow, I have a meeting
00:22:08with Mr. François Mouchon.
00:22:10He is the third richest man in France.
00:22:12We shall start then.
00:22:14Is he a client?
00:22:16If I decide he is.
00:22:18Merci, madame.
00:22:22Madame Simone can best be described
00:22:25as an illusionist,
00:22:27an expert, I suspect,
00:22:29at sleight of hand.
00:22:31She claims that she brokers dreams
00:22:33in long white gowns,
00:22:35but I still hold
00:22:36that she brokers sex,
00:22:38plain and simple.
00:22:39She does, however,
00:22:42have an abrupt honesty,
00:22:44which I can suddenly appreciate.
00:22:47She asked
00:22:48why I came to Paris.
00:22:50I hope to answer that
00:22:52before I leave.
00:22:53It was a splendid race.
00:22:59Your horse lost by a nose.
00:23:02You keep an eye on the races.
00:23:03Bien sûr, Monsieur Bouchon.
00:23:05I keep my eye on everything.
00:23:07For instance,
00:23:09you.
00:23:09Your tastes run to married women.
00:23:15With our children,
00:23:17with long dark hair,
00:23:19and slim waists.
00:23:20How can you know this?
00:23:25Hmm.
00:23:27I am trying to refine my tastes.
00:23:31Really?
00:23:32I am going to finally inherit
00:23:34the family chateau.
00:23:36My father demands
00:23:37that I refine my tastes.
00:23:39Which means?
00:23:41Nice girl,
00:23:42no husband.
00:23:43I understand.
00:23:45And preferably
00:23:46with a slim waist.
00:23:48I will see what I can do.
00:23:52Merci.
00:23:54Sadly,
00:23:55I must leave my...
00:23:58Horse runs at nine.
00:24:01I wonder about you.
00:24:04That is good.
00:24:05I do not wonder about you.
00:24:10When you describe me
00:24:11in your article,
00:24:12remember to use a debonair.
00:24:14I like the sound of it.
00:24:17Madame.
00:24:21Even though you will,
00:24:22of course,
00:24:22change my name.
00:24:26Of course.
00:24:29For what?
00:24:35Was he for real?
00:24:36He conducts himself badly.
00:24:38But I suspect
00:24:39he will improve.
00:24:40Chateaus tend to do that.
00:24:42Do you have someone
00:24:46in mind for him?
00:24:48Oh,
00:24:48I already have a young lady
00:24:49who knows
00:24:49all his horse's names.
00:24:52Really?
00:24:52Rule one.
00:24:54Know your target.
00:24:55So you manipulate
00:24:57the situation?
00:24:58Absolutely.
00:24:59It is my specialty.
00:25:02And rule two?
00:25:03It is an American expression,
00:25:05I think.
00:25:05If you've got it,
00:25:07flaunt it.
00:25:08And you still claim
00:25:10to not be selling sex.
00:25:12No, no, no.
00:25:13Let us be clear.
00:25:15In America,
00:25:16women are not allowed
00:25:18to be both sexy
00:25:19and smart.
00:25:21If a woman shows her body,
00:25:23she is not to be taken seriously
00:25:24in business.
00:25:25She is cheap.
00:25:26In Europe,
00:25:28if she has a nice body,
00:25:30that is merely
00:25:30another asset to the deal.
00:25:32She is taken seriously
00:25:33and she has a good body.
00:25:36Everyone is happy.
00:25:38Hmm.
00:25:38How do you get to that?
00:25:40Look around
00:25:40our topless beaches.
00:25:42The men gawking around,
00:25:44tripping over sand
00:25:44are always Americans.
00:25:46For us,
00:25:47it is nothing.
00:25:49It is merely an attitude.
00:25:51Flames do not belong
00:25:52under bushels.
00:25:54Like you,
00:25:56for example.
00:25:57Me.
00:25:58Me.
00:25:59You hide it very well.
00:26:01But it is there.
00:26:04Burning.
00:26:08Appearances
00:26:08are superficial.
00:26:10True.
00:26:11But also true,
00:26:13appearances are
00:26:13how we are first judged.
00:26:15When you go for dinner,
00:26:16how do you dress?
00:26:18What does that matter?
00:26:19Well,
00:26:20do you change
00:26:20from your business attire?
00:26:22No.
00:26:24Why?
00:26:25You want a man
00:26:25to see the whole package.
00:26:27Inside
00:26:27and out.
00:26:29Of course.
00:26:30you have to
00:26:31entice him
00:26:32to open the package
00:26:34first.
00:26:36I am sure
00:26:37your husband
00:26:38would agree.
00:26:53Is something the matter?
00:26:57No.
00:26:58No.
00:27:00Let's return
00:27:01to my questions.
00:27:02Shall we?
00:27:03If it makes you
00:27:04more comfortable.
00:27:06Have you ever
00:27:07been married?
00:27:08Yes.
00:27:09My husband
00:27:10left me
00:27:10for another woman.
00:27:12You say that
00:27:13so simply.
00:27:14When it happens,
00:27:15it is simple.
00:27:17Terrible
00:27:18and simple.
00:27:20It was 25 years ago.
00:27:22It was happening
00:27:23to many of my friends.
00:27:26So I took a look,
00:27:27a good look,
00:27:29at the young ladies
00:27:30who were
00:27:31taking our men.
00:27:34I studied them
00:27:35and decided
00:27:37to pass on
00:27:38to others
00:27:38what I had learned.
00:27:40And Madame Simone
00:27:41was born?
00:27:42The men all speaking.
00:27:45Are there men
00:27:46in your life?
00:27:46There are men
00:27:47who pursue me.
00:27:49Some amuse me,
00:27:52some challenge me,
00:27:53some touch me,
00:27:55but none of them
00:27:57changes me.
00:27:59And is that
00:28:00what you're looking for?
00:28:01Isn't that
00:28:01what we are all
00:28:02looking for?
00:28:04The one who makes us
00:28:06better than we are
00:28:07alone.
00:28:07When did your husband
00:28:11leave?
00:28:13I didn't say the one.
00:28:21Recently.
00:28:23One thing I've learned,
00:28:26if you have
00:28:27inner confidence,
00:28:28they will return.
00:28:30And then,
00:28:31you get to decide
00:28:33if they stay
00:28:34or if they go.
00:28:37And on that note,
00:28:40we should go.
00:28:47Madame.
00:28:49Bonsoir.
00:28:50Bonsoir.
00:28:54Am I on the list?
00:28:56I must be on the list.
00:28:58You, sir,
00:28:58are always on the list.
00:29:01Merci.
00:29:06White list.
00:29:07Each year,
00:29:08I have a grand
00:29:09coming out of them
00:29:10for my finest ladies.
00:29:12They fly in from
00:29:13all over the world.
00:29:14It has become
00:29:15quite the invitation.
00:29:16It is at the end
00:29:17of the month.
00:29:18I've taken six
00:29:19to prepare it,
00:29:20and you will
00:29:21write all about it.
00:29:24Well,
00:29:24I look forward to it.
00:29:27Tomorrow night,
00:29:28you will come to
00:29:29one of my weekly
00:29:29soirees.
00:29:30And you can pretend
00:29:31to look forward
00:29:32to that, too.
00:29:34You think I'm
00:29:35insincere?
00:29:36I think you are
00:29:37speeding along
00:29:37a highway,
00:29:39trying to look
00:29:40at the view
00:29:40when you slow down.
00:29:42Get out of the car.
00:29:44I will know.
00:29:56Bonsoir.
00:29:57Bonsoir.
00:29:58Bonsoir.
00:29:59Bonsoir.
00:29:59Happy to see you.
00:30:04Francesca.
00:30:05L'artiste.
00:30:06Toujours l'artiste.
00:30:12Merci.
00:30:13Merci.
00:30:15Merci.
00:30:16Je sais.
00:30:18Hello.
00:30:20Arjoana.
00:30:21Oh, Joanna. Hello. Hi.
00:30:25So, this is how it begins.
00:30:29Parfois, sometimes it is general gatherings like this, and sometimes it is more personal.
00:30:34There are no rules.
00:30:36Oh, darling.
00:30:37I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm late.
00:30:39Francesco?
00:30:42This is Joanna Scott.
00:30:45Francesco will be doing the photographs for the article.
00:30:47He is marvelous.
00:30:51Enchante.
00:30:53Excusez-moi.
00:30:57My editor showed me some of your earlier work for Cachet and Vanity Fair.
00:31:01Quite impressive.
00:31:04Madame Simone, she's my favorite.
00:31:06She understands the camera.
00:31:08She's one.
00:31:10Oh, no. No, no. She's been waiting for you. Very happy.
00:31:13Yes.
00:31:14Are you drinking something?
00:31:15Yes.
00:31:15Get some champagne for Mr. Rick Stockwell.
00:31:18Do you date her women?
00:31:20Date them?
00:31:21No.
00:31:22No.
00:31:23Unless you're one of them, then I make the exception.
00:31:27Does that charming line work on a lot of women?
00:31:30I do not know. You're the first to hear it. What do you think?
00:31:36It has potential.
00:31:37Have you known her for very long?
00:31:43I have covered her grand party for the last four years.
00:31:46I am the only photographer she lets.
00:31:48Is it just about the money for her?
00:31:52You get right to the point, huh?
00:31:55I'm a reporter.
00:31:56It is not about the money for Madame Simone. It is about pleasure.
00:32:00For whom?
00:32:01The girls.
00:32:02Look at them.
00:32:04Most of these girls could never have hoped to get the education that Madame Simone has given them.
00:32:09And then to get the chance to change her fortune.
00:32:12They are happy.
00:32:14They are happy.
00:32:26Enjoy the party?
00:32:27Yes.
00:32:31Interesting conversation.
00:32:33You are not disappointed?
00:32:34No talk of sex?
00:32:36Of money changing hands?
00:32:37No, I assume that happens later.
00:32:40Oh, with these men, they all have accountants who send company checks.
00:32:46The men are quite attractive in their own way and the women are exceptional.
00:32:52They are not so exceptional.
00:32:55I could teach you to get any man in the room.
00:32:59What?
00:33:01I could.
00:33:04I see you are not convinced.
00:33:07You are right.
00:33:11Let me show you how it works.
00:33:14As research.
00:33:15I don't think Harry expects me to do that kind of research.
00:33:20Surprise him.
00:33:23Surprise yourself.
00:33:26I have had enough surprises lately.
00:33:29It is never too late to find out who you might have been.
00:33:33The question is, who will you be?
00:33:41Joanna, is everything all right?
00:33:44Listen, I went to a get-together at Madame Simone's tonight.
00:33:50Oh, she trying to sell you to the highest bidder?
00:33:52Ha, ha, ha.
00:33:53No, but she did suggest that I do some in-depth research.
00:34:01You?
00:34:04What?
00:34:05Is that so funny?
00:34:08Well, yeah.
00:34:11I mean, I don't mean that in a bad way.
00:34:13I mean, it's just so unlike you.
00:34:16Well, that seems to be the general consensus.
00:34:19Mm.
00:34:20So?
00:34:21Have you seen him?
00:34:23Joanna, we shouldn't do this.
00:34:24Just go to bed.
00:34:26What?
00:34:28He wasn't alone?
00:34:31No.
00:34:33No, he was at that trendy new place in the East Village.
00:34:37Five points?
00:34:39He took her to five points?
00:34:41Joanna.
00:34:42I asked him 20 times to take me to five points.
00:34:47He was always too busy.
00:34:50Oh.
00:34:53He was always too busy.
00:35:04Hello?
00:35:05Madame Simone.
00:35:06Wait, wait.
00:35:07Did I wake you?
00:35:08Oh, no.
00:35:09I never sleep after a party.
00:35:10I plot.
00:35:12I was wondering.
00:35:14Yes?
00:35:14What you said earlier about teaching me to get any man in the room?
00:35:19You want a man?
00:35:20Let's just say that I would like to do some first-hand research.
00:35:40Who will I be?
00:35:43It's one of those questions that adults ask children.
00:35:46Like, what do you want to be when you grow up?
00:35:49Did I ever once reply, a serious businesswoman with sensible shoes and a cheating husband?
00:35:56Dreams wilt.
00:35:57That's where Madame Simone comes in.
00:35:59We shall begin with the first rule of holes.
00:36:05When you are in one, stop digging.
00:36:08We must examine your most significant relationship.
00:36:11So that others will not follow the same path.
00:36:15Why did your husband leave?
00:36:17Why did he leave?
00:36:21He said I was the same woman he married.
00:36:28No exceptions, just cliches.
00:36:33I hope you found something sort of hard to throw at him.
00:36:37We will prove him wrong by making you the exception.
00:36:41I will say a word.
00:36:43And you say whatever comes in your head without thought.
00:36:48Why exactly?
00:36:49To see where it leads, of course.
00:36:53Man.
00:36:55Woman.
00:36:56Love.
00:36:58Marriage.
00:36:59Time.
00:37:00Clock.
00:37:02Sex.
00:37:06Bedroom.
00:37:07That is not what you are going to say.
00:37:09No, I was going to say none.
00:37:12None.
00:37:13So, this is where the game takes us, to none.
00:37:24You dislike sex?
00:37:26No.
00:37:27It's not that I dislike it.
00:37:29I just...
00:37:30It just doesn't occur to me.
00:37:32Why is that?
00:37:35I suppose it's because it didn't happen that often.
00:37:41Did it never occur to you?
00:37:43When I was younger.
00:37:47Where is the girl?
00:37:50What girl?
00:37:51The girl who used to spiral through the fields, barefoot, her hair falling wild.
00:38:00Leaving homemade valentines for boys on their doorsteps.
00:38:04She went to an all-female prep school.
00:38:16Studied journalism.
00:38:18Worked hard.
00:38:22Met who she thought was the perfect man.
00:38:25And forgot to have fun on the way.
00:38:27I have fun.
00:38:32Let's just redefine fun.
00:38:34That slightly tipsy feeling you get after your third sip of champagne.
00:38:41When you feel as if you could try anything.
00:38:43You are not afraid.
00:38:48That is the feeling I am searching for for you.
00:38:55Maybe I should just start drinking.
00:38:57You have been serious and responsible most of your life.
00:39:02Yes.
00:39:03It comes naturally to me.
00:39:06I mean, I never worried about competing for boys.
00:39:09I worried about setting the grade curve.
00:39:11I understand that.
00:39:13I even admire it.
00:39:16But as a career woman, you have been forced to take on certain male traits.
00:39:22You feel that if you showed your sexuality, you would not be taken seriously.
00:39:26So, Joanna, it is time to shed this.
00:39:29Especially after hours.
00:39:33I really don't think I can.
00:39:35It's who I am.
00:39:38You're right.
00:39:39You can't.
00:39:41I can't.
00:39:43But Mrs. X can.
00:39:46You will not be Joanna.
00:39:48You will be Mrs. X.
00:39:49And she can do whatever the hell she wants.
00:39:53She is a clean slate.
00:39:55Mrs. X.
00:39:56I do not have to teach Mrs. X how to walk into Maxime's.
00:40:00Or how to go to the Elysee Palace.
00:40:02She is already cultured.
00:40:05Well spoken.
00:40:07Has perfect manners.
00:40:09She is ahead of the game.
00:40:10But foreplay.
00:40:13Intimacy.
00:40:14How to get what you want from a man.
00:40:17This I can teach her.
00:40:20How?
00:40:21First.
00:40:24Appearances are important.
00:40:26They always have been.
00:40:29And they always will be.
00:40:31And Mrs. X is in need of a new angle.
00:40:35Hervé, could you send the car up please?
00:40:38Oui, madame.
00:40:39We shall try.
00:40:40A little of what Paris is known for.
00:40:43Which is?
00:40:45Illusion, of course.
00:40:46Too young.
00:41:07Too young.
00:41:07Too chic.
00:41:19Too old.
00:41:22Too bold.
00:41:23More of that.
00:41:33I had always thought of my suits as my armor against the business world.
00:41:38But now I saw another way.
00:41:40A way to dress it up and still be tough and smart underneath.
00:41:44Buying the dresses that the other girls wore didn't make me any less me.
00:41:48It just gave me more angles to play.
00:41:54Keep your eyes closed.
00:41:57Ow!
00:41:58Ow, that hurts.
00:42:00Change hurts.
00:42:01I usually just wear sheer lipstick, lipstick, lipstick.
00:42:11Remember those three words.
00:42:15A new lipstick shade can change everything.
00:42:19I'm sorry.
00:42:49Oh!
00:42:53Hello?
00:43:02We have completed the exterior.
00:43:06Yes, but it's ridiculous, isn't it?
00:43:09I mean, everyone's gonna know I'm just a sheep in wolf's clothing.
00:43:15Nonsense.
00:43:16Now for the foreplay.
00:43:18First, eye contact.
00:43:30Nothing is more important.
00:43:32Hang on his eyes as if glued to them.
00:43:38Then add the little head nod.
00:43:43Keep your eyes focused on him.
00:43:45Even if you are thinking about the laundry,
00:43:48many think you are thinking about them.
00:43:51You have his total attention.
00:43:53You are in control.
00:43:56And then you drink.
00:43:57And then you drink.
00:43:58I can guarantee ARA action.
00:43:59I can guarantee ARA action.
00:44:10I can guarantee ARA action.
00:44:17I can guarantee ARA action.
00:44:20I can guarantee ARA action.
00:44:30Madam, I observe you for a good time.
00:44:32and I find you very charming.
00:44:35Next week, I'll go to Nice with friends for a trip on my yacht.
00:44:39I invite you to join us for a few days.
00:44:42For a few days.
00:44:43Here's my card.
00:44:44Call me.
00:44:45Bye.
00:44:46Bye.
00:44:47Bye.
00:44:48Bye.
00:44:49Bye.
00:44:50Bye.
00:44:51Bye.
00:44:59What did he just say?
00:45:00He offered an invitation on his yacht.
00:45:04I can't believe that worked.
00:45:07Make it your business to know something about wine.
00:45:11When the waiter comes to the table,
00:45:13he opens it and pours it for the gentleman to taste.
00:45:17You will help your man taste the wine.
00:45:23Dip your finger.
00:45:30Run it across his lips.
00:45:41He's neutralized.
00:45:43He's yours.
00:45:45Well, that is quite the showstopper.
00:45:50It is fine.
00:45:51Pour, please.
00:45:54I just don't think I can pull this off with a straight face.
00:45:58This is why you are Mrs. X.
00:46:01Right.
00:46:03I keep forgetting.
00:46:07Today we cover three essentials.
00:46:10Underwear.
00:46:12Kissing.
00:46:13And flesh.
00:46:15Just like high school.
00:46:17Pantyhose are eternal.
00:46:19You hate them.
00:46:21I hate them.
00:46:22And he hates them.
00:46:25Stockings.
00:46:26And a garter belt.
00:46:28And a teddy.
00:46:29To be worn.
00:46:30Underskirts and blouses.
00:46:32Even if no one ever sees them,
00:46:34you will know they are there.
00:46:36You will carry yourself differently.
00:46:37Sexually.
00:46:40Go here.
00:46:42Patrice will find you something delicious.
00:46:44And now.
00:46:46The kiss.
00:46:48I have a book for you.
00:46:51A book on kissing?
00:46:52The book will instruct you on specific passion spots.
00:46:57In general, any skin covered by clothing is a good place to start.
00:47:03Would you like to practice?
00:47:05Practice?
00:47:06Hervé.
00:47:07Yes?
00:47:16Can you practice kissing, Hervé?
00:47:18Am we lean?
00:47:19No.
00:47:20No.
00:47:25No.
00:47:26No.
00:47:27Even Mrs. X is not going to practice kissing.
00:47:30If you are sure.
00:47:33I'm sure.
00:47:36Go and wash the car.
00:47:38But without a kiss.
00:47:40Go and kiss Monique.
00:47:42You love doing that.
00:47:45You love embarrassing me.
00:47:47It's all part of it.
00:47:49Each time you are less embarrassed.
00:47:51That is my goal.
00:47:53I have a meeting with a gentleman and then some last details for my party.
00:47:59Look at this tape in my office.
00:48:01What is it?
00:48:02Some would call it soft porn.
00:48:04But I call it a learning experience.
00:48:09Another test.
00:48:11Watch it.
00:48:12Take something useful from it.
00:48:14And go on with your day.
00:48:16You make it sound like it's a cooking video.
00:48:18Oh no.
00:48:19For cooking you need to watch at least two.
00:48:22Hello.
00:48:23How are you?
00:48:27This is her.
00:48:28This is my girl.
00:48:29As if you are not in your hostel.
00:48:32One moment.
00:48:38I don't suppose you would like to practice with him.
00:48:45You are testing again.
00:48:59She didn't say I had to hear it too.
00:49:29I would never have expected you to.
00:49:30Ma-
00:49:35Madame Simone gave me...
00:49:38I-I-I...
00:49:39Oh my God!
00:49:40Oh my God!
00:49:41Oh my God!
00:49:42Oh my God!
00:49:45I-I would never have expected you to...
00:49:46Oh, my God.
00:49:49Oh, my God!
00:49:51I would never have expected you to...
00:49:54Madame Simone gave me...
00:49:56I...
00:50:01I was watching a...
00:50:04Yes, I saw that.
00:50:07May I ask why?
00:50:09I thought that maybe I might be able to pick up some...
00:50:15What?
00:50:18Tips.
00:50:23See, they're bellissima.
00:50:26You are beautifully honest.
00:50:29You know what?
00:50:31I can give you all the tips you need.
00:50:34Oh, there goes that charm again.
00:50:37Charm and truth.
00:50:40I see that Madame Simone has done up your hair.
00:50:44Yes.
00:50:45Among other things.
00:50:48I approve.
00:50:52We'll see you at four.
00:50:54Four?
00:50:55Four?
00:50:56It is why I came.
00:50:58To confirm a four o'clock meeting at my loft.
00:51:01To look at the proof.
00:51:03Oh!
00:51:04Sorry.
00:51:05I forgot.
00:51:06Yeah, well, your mind was on something else.
00:51:13Madame left this for you to watch back at the hotel.
00:51:16Okay.
00:51:17Oh, I'm sure it's a cooking video.
00:51:27Cooking.
00:51:29Oh, I should have
00:51:31asked you guys to see you at the hotel.
00:51:36These are the movies and girls.
00:51:38Nobody's sick.
00:51:39The way you're okay.
00:51:40The way you're in, they're all the way.
00:51:41The way you've been on the top of your house.
00:51:43The way you're on the top of your house.
00:51:45The door will properly tear them apart.
00:51:48We all know how to put our clothes on.
00:51:52But let's go over the proper way to remove them.
00:51:55Stripping for your man.
00:51:58What?
00:51:59Let the music guide you.
00:52:02Feel it.
00:52:03Move to it.
00:52:06What the hell?
00:52:07You only...
00:52:08Hi.
00:52:15Oh, I am so sorry I'm late.
00:52:18I was...
00:52:19I do not want to know.
00:52:26Oh, wow.
00:52:31Oh, these are beautiful.
00:52:34I had no idea you did work like this.
00:52:37I shoot magazine layouts for money.
00:52:39These I do for soul.
00:52:42You're wonderful.
00:52:43I keep telling you that.
00:52:45Here.
00:52:50Madame.
00:53:00Oh, you've really captured her here.
00:53:03I wonder what she was thinking.
00:53:05When you know that, you have your story.
00:53:09This is the lead shot.
00:53:10I thought just the same.
00:53:13You should let me shoot you.
00:53:15Oh, I take terrible pictures.
00:53:17Shoot you like that.
00:53:20I don't think so.
00:53:21You answer too quick.
00:53:22You like my work, no?
00:53:24I don't look like that.
00:53:26That is the point.
00:53:31I make a contract.
00:53:33You pose for me.
00:53:34I take you to the best restaurant in all of Paris for dinner.
00:53:39I believe that's called a date.
00:53:40I would like to date you.
00:53:41I'm married.
00:53:42You're in Paris.
00:53:43It does not count.
00:53:44Oh, an answer for everything.
00:53:47You will pose for me?
00:53:48Yes, I will.
00:53:50Oh, my God.
00:53:51Did I just say that?
00:53:53Mm-hmm.
00:53:55Bellissima.
00:54:00Feel free to do whatever you want.
00:54:02Whatever.
00:54:03Very nice.
00:54:14Oh, yes.
00:54:16Oh, yes, yes, yes.
00:54:17Like that.
00:54:18Bellissima.
00:54:21Unbutton your sweater a little bit.
00:54:25Just a bit.
00:54:28Like that.
00:54:29Beautiful.
00:54:33Good.
00:55:03Just, uh, two more, see?
00:55:17You owe me dinner.
00:55:21Happily.
00:55:33I admit, after we met, I went out and bought your latest book.
00:55:41Really?
00:55:42Mm-hmm.
00:55:43And?
00:55:44The subject was very difficult, but you are quite talented.
00:55:51I tried to make it personal.
00:55:54Personal?
00:55:55Yes, like, um, a story you tell to someone so that it can be appreciated.
00:56:03It is how I approach my photography as well.
00:56:07I always appreciate my subject.
00:56:15To my most beautiful subject.
00:56:26You mentioned her husband.
00:56:28Yes, you were listening.
00:56:30When I'm asked.
00:56:33He's gone.
00:56:34Gone?
00:56:35Where has he gone?
00:56:39He...
00:56:40Oh, hell.
00:56:43He left me for another woman.
00:56:45I don't believe it.
00:56:47He has you.
00:56:49Yes.
00:56:50He's a fool!
00:56:53Forget him.
00:56:53Miss Maia.
00:56:57Miss Maia, the first I have seen without being cooks for a camera.
00:57:01There is hope, after all.
00:57:03Where exactly do you think this is leading?
00:57:14To a strong friendship, I hope.
00:57:19I would like that.
00:57:21Love, it is just friendship on fire.
00:57:33Love, it was good.
00:57:47No, it's not good.
00:57:49Oh, Joanna, oh, she's more beautiful.
00:57:52Good morning.
00:57:53You are flushed.
00:57:55No, I'm not.
00:57:57Where were you last night?
00:57:59I rang you.
00:58:01Shooting.
00:58:03Shooting.
00:58:05Pictures.
00:58:07With Frenchosco.
00:58:09I love that.
00:58:11I underestimated you.
00:58:14I will never make that mistake again.
00:58:18What's this?
00:58:20Wendy has to see it.
00:58:23This is you.
00:58:27When I look at that.
00:58:29He's very handsome.
00:58:34You do not know the half of it.
00:58:37Tell me.
00:58:41We met in Cannes.
00:58:48He walked out of the water.
00:58:50and stood in front of me.
00:58:57I thought a god had fallen from the sky.
00:59:01But then he spoke to me.
00:59:05And I was sure a god had fallen from the sky.
00:59:08Was it a long romance?
00:59:12No.
00:59:14We fell quickly.
00:59:16We were married within one year.
00:59:17For how long?
00:59:18Four years later, he left.
00:59:21Another woman saw him walking from the waters.
00:59:27He forgot about me.
00:59:28He kept walking.
00:59:33He wasn't kind.
00:59:36Kind, yes.
00:59:37He could be kind.
00:59:39But mainly,
00:59:41he was young.
00:59:44And brazen.
00:59:45I needed brazen.
00:59:49I needed him.
00:59:53That is something I never thought I'd hear you say.
01:00:02That was a long time ago.
01:00:04We learned.
01:00:05And did he learn?
01:00:07That's an interesting question.
01:00:10We had fun.
01:00:11In 25 years,
01:00:13no one has even come close.
01:00:17Where is he now?
01:00:19He...
01:00:25He slipped away.
01:00:28He...
01:00:28Like a mystery.
01:00:30I never quite solved.
01:00:34Most people consider you quite a mystery.
01:00:39A mystery?
01:00:40How so?
01:00:41A woman who arranges love,
01:00:43yet stays so far away from it herself.
01:00:47Well, I doubted people even think about this.
01:00:52Well, I have.
01:00:55Yes, well...
01:00:57You have spent more time than most.
01:01:02You're still looking.
01:01:04For the one who makes you better than you are alone.
01:01:13It is not simple to find.
01:01:16But when you do...
01:01:17It is everything.
01:01:18It is everything.
01:01:30Madame.
01:01:30I called.
01:01:33He left this flat an hour ago.
01:01:35It takes him ten minutes to get here.
01:01:38I mean, come.
01:01:38I will see to it.
01:01:39I will see to it.
01:01:40Ah, madame.
01:01:42His best man said he was...
01:01:44Finish, please.
01:01:46Nervous last night.
01:01:47Oh, that is normal.
01:01:48No, but I'm very nervous.
01:01:52Is there anything I can do?
01:01:54Yes.
01:01:55Give pearls of wisdom to Wendy.
01:01:57Okay.
01:01:59All right.
01:01:59I have had nightmares about this.
01:02:05Standing alone at the altar,
01:02:07alone in my wedding dress,
01:02:09with a smile frozen on my face,
01:02:11and he never shows up.
01:02:13This time I'm awake.
01:02:15He seemed very sincere when I saw him with you.
01:02:18Everything I worked toward,
01:02:20all the studies,
01:02:21it was all a waste.
01:02:23How can you say that?
01:02:25No matter what happens,
01:02:26you still have you.
01:02:27That's easy for you to say.
01:02:30You have a husband who loves you.
01:02:33Things like this don't happen to you.
01:02:35He doesn't love me.
01:02:37What happened?
01:02:38What did you find out?
01:02:39He was on his way.
01:02:40He changed his mind.
01:02:41He had a man-oh-art accident.
01:02:43Oh, it's all right.
01:02:45But he was unconscious for a few minutes.
01:02:47Oh, my God.
01:02:48Now, we will take you to the hospital.
01:02:50Take her back to him.
01:02:51Merci, madame.
01:02:52The only life was as simple as a bum on her head.
01:03:00And so she is loved once again.
01:03:04Madame, les invités?
01:03:06Oh, yes.
01:03:06Serve the hors d'oeuvre, please.
01:03:07It turned out to be quite a pleasant path.
01:03:24Two of my young women found suitable men.
01:03:28Did you talk to Wendy?
01:03:29Of course.
01:03:31I think it's quite original.
01:03:32The doctor refusing to release Rick
01:03:35and they're being married at the hospital.
01:03:39Mon Dieu.
01:03:40Our lives hang by a thread.
01:03:46Wendy's happy.
01:03:48Delirious.
01:03:50The nurse took lots of pictures.
01:03:52Will it last?
01:03:54It has as good a chance as anything else in this life.
01:03:56The list for the party?
01:03:58Oh, thank you.
01:04:02For you.
01:04:05Me?
01:04:06Oui.
01:04:24Did you send this?
01:04:25I wish I could take credit for it,
01:04:31but I've been so busy with my lady's dresses.
01:04:33I never got one for you.
01:04:40Elegant and sexy, just like you.
01:04:45Francesco.
01:04:46You have impressed him.
01:04:49And he has impressed me.
01:04:55Does he do this often?
01:04:59Romance your young women?
01:05:00I tried to find him a woman once.
01:05:03But he was so serious in his refusal,
01:05:05I did not do it again.
01:05:08Good.
01:05:12Oh, my.
01:05:14Mrs. X is enjoying herself.
01:05:32I feel so free.
01:05:36It was always there, Joanna.
01:05:38You just hid it well.
01:05:39I never thought a man like that would be interested in me.
01:05:46What kind of a man?
01:05:48Young.
01:05:50Sexy.
01:05:51Oh, yes.
01:05:58Oh, this is ridiculous.
01:06:06Why am I crying?
01:06:07Why am I crying?
01:06:09To be happy.
01:06:11You must risk unhappiness.
01:06:14It is good.
01:06:15This is not good.
01:06:19I have been on a roller coaster ever since Dale left.
01:06:25What did you expect from this marriage?
01:06:29I suppose.
01:06:34A level playing field.
01:06:36And someone who would love me for my talent and my independence.
01:06:48And someone who would occasionally know that I just needed to be held.
01:06:54Sometimes we try to change people, situations, without even realizing we are doing it.
01:07:02The irony is, changing another person, truly changing who they are, can never be successful.
01:07:10That is ironic.
01:07:12Coming from you.
01:07:13When I find my young ladies, in some I see potential that was simply not being given a chance to rise to the top.
01:07:23And in others, I know it will never rise.
01:07:27People cannot be changed, just enhanced.
01:07:34That is why I see such potential in you, Joanna.
01:07:39You see me as a student.
01:07:42I see you as my best student ever, Joanna.
01:07:46That is why you are not making me look at, Joanna.
01:08:13I see you as a student.
01:08:14Good evening, I'm coming in for two minutes.
01:08:23Excuse me, Francesco, madame.
01:08:32Oh, Joanna.
01:08:37I feel like Cinderella.
01:08:49So now you know how my young ladies feel.
01:08:52Excuse me, Monsieur Cortez.
01:08:55Madame Simon.
01:08:57Very well, thank you.
01:08:59Very, very well, formidable.
01:09:01May I present to Miss Geddes?
01:09:03My taste is mine.
01:09:05Monsieur, would you be kind to accompany her?
01:09:08With pleasure.
01:09:10Eric.
01:09:11Simon, bonjour.
01:09:14The dress is perfect.
01:09:18The dress means nothing without a woman in it.
01:09:21And what a woman.
01:09:24Can I have this dance?
01:09:26Well, we should be working.
01:09:28Business and pleasure are so much fun to mix, no?
01:09:31I agree.
01:09:35The night's young, and anything could happen.
01:09:44Hmm.
01:09:45What was that I detected in your voice?
01:09:47Oh, nothing.
01:09:49You are up to something.
01:09:52I am your photographer, you know.
01:09:55You're supposed to inform me of things.
01:09:57That would make things rather dull, don't you think?
01:10:03You will never be dull, darling.
01:10:06No.
01:10:07No.
01:10:12No.
01:10:21Are you all right?
01:10:27Things are going wonderfully.
01:10:29that wasn't my question I am fine I am always fine you haven't danced I make it
01:10:38a rule never to dance at my own events and why is that it would take a worthy
01:10:43man and all the worthy ones are taken by my young ladies I was wondering do you
01:10:56have regrets life is too short for regrets and that's your answer I have
01:11:09thought about choices I made the dreams we have when we are young and reality when
01:11:22we are smart
01:11:26you still love your ex-husband I love the memory of him
01:11:31what if he were to walk up behind you right now
01:11:37and tell you that he had learned that he was smarter
01:11:42and oh so sorry
01:11:44I would have serious doubts believing it was him
01:11:51if I could prove it
01:11:54Madame Simone
01:11:57may I introduce Monsieur Warren Tuxet
01:12:01who is older wiser and so very sorry
01:12:08you did this
01:12:24yes I hope you're not angry
01:12:32there will always be time to consider anger later
01:12:40right now there's music
01:12:43and I believe it was you who once told me that
01:12:47music above all should never be wasted
01:12:50you don't remember
01:12:56yes I remember many things
01:13:00may I have this dance
01:13:04yes you may
01:13:13yes you may
01:13:28yes i'll be there
01:13:29yes our
01:13:30yes and
01:13:30yes and
01:13:31yes and
01:13:32yes and
01:14:04And now you have your story.
01:14:08I didn't do it for a story.
01:14:12I could fall in love with your heart.
01:14:34Good morning.
01:14:37Buongiorno.
01:14:40It was wonderful.
01:14:43I agree.
01:14:44So come back to bed.
01:14:46No.
01:14:46I have to go.
01:14:51Go?
01:14:53My research on Madame Simone is done.
01:14:58But what about us?
01:15:00I think we both know the answer to that.
01:15:07It wouldn't last.
01:15:09It shouldn't last.
01:15:12But you have taught me many things.
01:15:19Many happy things.
01:15:24I will miss you, Joanna.
01:15:29A part of me will always be in Paris.
01:15:32May I come in?
01:15:52How did you find him?
01:15:53It wasn't easy.
01:15:58My editor found him and flew him in.
01:16:01You took a chance.
01:16:03Should I be sorry?
01:16:05For taking a chance?
01:16:08Never.
01:16:09So what's he like?
01:16:17He's different.
01:16:19Older.
01:16:20Perhaps wiser.
01:16:22But still brazen?
01:16:24Yes.
01:16:25He is still brazen.
01:16:29And divorced.
01:16:31He married one more time.
01:16:33He did not last.
01:16:34He has been alone a long time.
01:16:38And?
01:16:39Now you are hoping for a happy ending.
01:16:43Yeah.
01:16:44I'm a sucker for that.
01:16:46We are having dinner tonight.
01:16:48We will see.
01:16:50Well, he has come back.
01:16:54Now you get to decide.
01:16:57You have been listening.
01:17:00Yes, I have.
01:17:01Oh.
01:17:01I shall miss you, Joanna.
01:17:09You represent something that I do not see very often.
01:17:13A mind and a strength.
01:17:18It is comforting somehow.
01:17:20And here I tried so hard to learn to be vulnerable, sexy.
01:17:34Oh, chérie.
01:17:36Oh, chérie.
01:17:40René.
01:17:46You know by now that the difference lies not in how you dress or even in how you act,
01:17:52but in how comfortable you are with yourself.
01:17:55If you believe it, they believe it.
01:18:04Yes.
01:18:05I know that now.
01:18:09And I will miss you, too.
01:18:13Joanna.
01:18:23You didn't even call proclaiming a deadline.
01:18:41What did you do?
01:18:43I had my hair done.
01:18:45Uh-huh.
01:18:45And a few other things.
01:18:47Uh-huh.
01:18:48I have a rough outline for you.
01:18:50Uh-huh.
01:18:52Stop saying that.
01:18:54You look great.
01:18:58That's better.
01:18:59I think it will surprise you.
01:19:01It's, uh, it's already surprised me.
01:19:04The outline, Harry.
01:19:06Oh, right.
01:19:09I, uh, I take it your time at Madame Simone's was, um, pleasant?
01:19:16She's a wonderfully, wonderfully unique woman.
01:19:19I don't hear any sarcasm in your voice.
01:19:22That's because I'm sincere.
01:19:24Read the outline.
01:19:26I'll read it.
01:19:27Oh, I hear Glenda's having a big cocktail party to introduce her new book.
01:19:33Tomorrow night.
01:19:34The book's the usual, you know, coming-of-age thing, but the party should be good.
01:19:38Want me to pick you up?
01:19:39No.
01:19:40I'm fine to go alone.
01:19:42Since when?
01:19:43I'm fine, Harry.
01:19:44There's a good chance Dale might be there.
01:19:47He's a good friend of Glenda's, too.
01:19:49Don't forget.
01:19:49I haven't forgotten.
01:19:51Great.
01:19:59Joanna!
01:20:01Hi!
01:20:02So, tell us about Madame Simone's Paris.
01:20:05Is it as decadent as it all sounds?
01:20:07Oh, I'll give you the one-liner.
01:20:10Life lessons on kissing, stripping, garter belts, love, and disappearing grooms.
01:20:19Really?
01:20:19And if you want to know more, you have to buy the magazine.
01:20:32I'm late.
01:20:33Oh, I'm late.
01:20:34I'm sorry.
01:20:34I'm late.
01:20:35You're always late, Shirley.
01:20:39Joanne!
01:20:39You look wonderful.
01:20:43Did you get a face-up when you were in Paris?
01:20:46No, but I had a good time.
01:20:48I'll have to get your itinerary.
01:20:50Come here.
01:20:52I have some of the shit.
01:20:57Oh, my God.
01:21:00And I thought you didn't like people to see your feet.
01:21:03I'm not looking at her feet.
01:21:04Shoot.
01:21:05Get away.
01:21:07These are so sexy.
01:21:09I can't believe you took these.
01:21:12Neither can I.
01:21:13And I can't believe they're better than mine.
01:21:15You were right.
01:21:16I did surprise myself.
01:21:20Hi, Joanne.
01:21:23Hi, Dale.
01:21:25I'll talk to you later.
01:21:26I didn't know you were back in town.
01:21:35I got back earlier in the week.
01:21:38How are you?
01:21:40I'm fine, actually.
01:21:43You look great.
01:21:46I know I said that I would call.
01:21:51You said lots of things, Dale.
01:21:54I thought maybe we should talk.
01:21:57Have lunch.
01:22:00Lunch would be good.
01:22:03Great.
01:22:06I'll call you.
01:22:07Yes.
01:22:08I think that this time you will.
01:22:20Promise me you'll be smart?
01:22:23I make no promises.
01:22:25Except to have the story in on deadline.
01:22:28You promise me one of those photographs?
01:22:32I can't hear.
01:22:38I was starting to think you weren't coming.
01:22:46Good.
01:22:53Did you order?
01:22:54No.
01:22:55I know how you hate that.
01:22:57Would you care to start with some wine?
01:22:59Yes, thank you.
01:23:04Chateau Bonnet, 1989.
01:23:06Excellent choice.
01:23:08So how was your month, Dale?
01:23:14It was all right.
01:23:17I see your stocks didn't do so well.
01:23:19Tech is up, industrial is down.
01:23:22Should have bought tech.
01:23:24Since when do you watch the market?
01:23:27Let's just say that my interests are expanding.
01:23:34Great.
01:23:34I see you.
01:23:35I don't know.
01:23:38I don't know.
01:23:39I don't know.
01:23:41I don't know.
01:23:41I don't know.
01:23:42I'm already mad at that.
01:23:53I don't know.
01:23:55I don't know.
01:23:56I know you know they're going to beاد.
01:23:56You're getting אבל to your friends.
01:23:57Not like they're gonna live.
01:23:58Oh.
01:23:59I don't know.
01:23:59There you are.
01:24:00Um, it's fine.
01:24:08Very good, sir.
01:24:18What is going on?
01:24:21What do you mean?
01:24:23You seem so different.
01:24:28You seem the same.
01:24:30All right.
01:24:35Let's talk about something real.
01:24:38Okay.
01:24:39You start.
01:24:41Before you left.
01:24:43You left.
01:24:46Right.
01:24:47Before I left.
01:24:49You wanted to try counseling.
01:24:52Yes.
01:24:54I think maybe we should.
01:24:57Will your girlfriend be joining us?
01:25:00Touché.
01:25:01It was a serious question, Dale.
01:25:05I'm not seeing her right now.
01:25:07She works in your office.
01:25:10I'm not seeing her romantically.
01:25:12Well, that was short-lived.
01:25:19Hardly worth throwing away ten years.
01:25:23I agree.
01:25:24Look, Joanna, I did a lot of thinking.
01:25:34We do have ten years together.
01:25:37So, I'm willing to try and continue.
01:25:42Try and continue.
01:25:44Interesting choice of words.
01:25:50You don't need space anymore.
01:25:54What about sandwiches?
01:25:57Okay, I deserve that.
01:25:58Yes, you do.
01:26:03Joanna.
01:26:05I missed you.
01:26:09It's that simple.
01:26:12I missed you.
01:26:13So, what do you say?
01:26:18Are you willing to try again?
01:26:26It's been three months, and the letters are still coming in.
01:26:29You hit a real nerve.
01:26:32How the heck you been?
01:26:33I'm great.
01:26:36Great.
01:26:38Oh.
01:26:41The divorce is final.
01:26:42Now, that's something I never thought I'd hear you say with a smile on your face.
01:26:48It's ironic, really.
01:26:51Dale finally said everything I'd ever wanted him to say.
01:26:56But somehow, after Paris, I just saw myself and my life from a completely different perspective.
01:27:03Didn't want to make the same mistakes.
01:27:06I sense something a little different.
01:27:07Hey, are you going to tell me what really happened in Paris?
01:27:13No.
01:27:14No?
01:27:16I have a flight to catch.
01:27:17Where are you going?
01:27:18Paris.
01:27:19Why?
01:27:20Madame Simone's wedding.
01:27:22You're kidding.
01:27:23I'm the maid of honor.
01:27:25What?
01:27:26Who knows?
01:27:28I might even write you a sequel.
01:27:33Sometimes we can live an entire life in just a few weeks.
01:27:37I know.
01:27:38I did.
01:27:40I'm lucky to have seen it and to have embraced it.
01:27:44After all, this is not a dress rehearsal.
01:27:47This is it.
01:27:50I'm lucky to have seen it.
01:27:50I'm lucky to have seen it.
01:27:51I'm lucky to have seen it.
01:27:51I'm lucky to have seen it.
01:27:52I'm lucky to have seen it.
01:27:52I'm lucky to have seen it.
01:27:53I'm lucky to have seen it.
01:27:53I'm lucky to have seen it.
01:27:54I'm lucky to have seen it.
01:27:55I'm lucky to have seen it.
01:27:55I'm lucky to have seen it.
01:27:56I'm lucky to have seen it.
01:27:57I'm lucky to have seen it.
01:27:58I'm lucky to have seen it.
01:27:59I'm lucky to have seen it.
01:28:00I'm lucky to have seen it.
01:28:01I'm lucky to have seen it.
01:28:02I'm lucky to have seen it.
01:28:03I'm lucky to have seen it.
01:28:04I'm lucky to have seen it.
01:28:05I'm lucky to have seen it.
01:28:06I'm lucky to have seen it.
