Marie? Hi! Yes, I am leaving

My flight is at 10:00

I'll hurry up

Sure, you can come if you like

No, neither Christian or anybody else. Come alone please

Okay, see you in an hour! Bye bye

Paris is about seventeen hours away from Bangkok

Traveling alone is so boring

You are never alone in a plane

Same on a boat Worries, love seem unreal

- It's funny. Everything is allowed - But nothing is possible

You're wrong. You have no idea how many people have sex on airplanes!

- I wouldn't dare! - One must always dare

What about Emmanuelle then? Aren't you afraid she...

No, I didn't marry her to deprive her of anything nor to put her in a cage

You married her for her beauty

I married her because she is the only woman in the world ...

who enjoys sex as much and who's so good at it!

Aren't you afraid that some people try and take advantage?

I told you I'm not jealous. Jealousy is outdated

See this skilled and innocent girl?

I can tell you she was taught. They all learn

Do they do anything you want?

And more. It depends how much you pay

That's what bothers me

The idea of paying a woman turns me off

It's not that simple

I have to go to the airport now. See you at the embassy at 5:00

We always see the same faces. It's a funny world

There are ex-adventurers, civil servants, diplomats

They're all dying to see you. Especially since they saw the pictures

Are you kidding? You've shown them my pictures?

Of course

I enjoy watching them as much as showing them

Maybe more

I'm proud of you

Say, the photographer--

What about him?

Have you had sex with him?

No. He didn't touch me at all

Really? This is strange

I've always thought artists wanted to sleep with their models...

before making a portrait. Well if not before, at least afterwards

- Poor man! He must have suffered - No, he was gay

- What's wrong, dear? - Let's go now. I can't stand it!

It's horrible! The kid with the chicken, the beggar... I hate this place!

Take it easy

- Here. Welcome to Thailand - Thank you, honey

You'll love the house It's a very nice place

There are so many things you cannot see anywhere else

This is the road I use to go to the embassy

I don't see it anymore

Come over here

This is Ting and Jing, our cooks

Oh no, not like that. Like this!

Ad and Hoi are the personal maids

- They're beautiful. Did you choose them? - Yes

Jon is the handyman. Come in

The house is over a hundred years old

It belongs to a princess. I had to court for three months...

before she let me rent it

It's splendid!

So beautiful!

I never imagined anything like this. It is incredible!

Are your little maids as good in bed?

I couldn't compare any other woman to you!

You are just saying that to please me

Please me...

No, I'm fitting out the house. I'm very happy to be alone with Jean

You'll realize that you have one enemy: boredom

And one ally: making love

You will soon see by yourself. Unless Jean becomes jealous

No, and it's my own choice. Jean would encourage me to sleep with his friends

- I never tell my husband! - You're right, Richard looks so happy!

- Hi, girls! - Hello!

- This is Emmanuelle - Nice to meet you, Emmanuelle

You've just missed a great occasion. A stallion came over this weekend

- You should have seen that - He was incredible!

Well-built and a pleasure to ride!

Why didn't you come? He would have loved your company!

I spent the weekend in Pattaya with my husband

- He did it on purpose - How smart!

I don't think so

What a shame! Such opportunities are rare

I didn't go back home for two days! Luckily, my husband is very busy

I didn't know they had so much work at the embassy!

How do you like your house? I've heard it's very nice!

It is beautiful! You'll have to come over. Jean fitted it out

- It is lovely indeed - You know it?

Jean invited me one evening when you were in Paris

In Paris? You'll have to tell us about all your affairs

Oh yes!

You can confide in me. I'm quiet as a grave

Yes, right!

What do you want to know?

I didn't cheat on Jean in Paris

- Do you really think she is pure? - I'm afraid so

- Oh it's you! You scared me - I always do

You're beautiful

But why are you lying?

- What are you talking about? - Haven't you ever been unfaithful?

No

Cheating means hiding and lying

Who is that girl?

Her name is Bee. She is not part of our group

- Haven't you ever cheated with a girl? - Does it count?

Try it with me some day and you'll see if it doesn't count

- I'd like to talk to you. Can I visit you? - Do you know where I live?

- Yes. See you tomorrow afternoon - Okay

My name is Marie-Ange

- Good afternoon! - Hello

- You're Jean, right? - Exactly

I'm Marie-Ange. I'm a friend of Emmanuelle's

I didn't know my wife had such attractive friends

Well, I'd like to become her friend. She told me to come and see her

- She's in her bedroom. Do come in - Thank you

I hope we'll meet again

Oh, it's you? Sorry, I hadn't heard you

- You're beautiful. Who took the picture? - A friend of Jean. A photographer

- Do you have more pictures? - Of what?

- Of you making love - Of course not!

- Do you know why I suck lollipops? - Because you like it?

No, it arouses old men If you had seen your husband's face!

- He's not old! - How old is he?

- Thirty-two - Well

How come you were sleeping at that time?

- Well, I... - What a big bed!

- How many people can fit? - These are twin beds pushed together

Don't listen to the girls

They brag all the time

but barely do anything

- What? - The girls at The swimming pool

- Let's go outside - Okay

You have a nice house and a great view

It's very nice of you to come over

Didn't you have something important to tell me?

- Not at all. I just chose you - What do you mean?

May I?

Oh, French newspapers! Where did you get them?

Jean gets them at the embassy

I like your husband. You'll have to give me a picture of him

- I enjoy touching myself. What about you? - No

- You don't? - Well I do, but not now, not like this

- Are you ashamed of it? - I'm just surprised. You're so young!

I started masturbating at 12 No one taught me. I learned on my own

It's normal to do it, don't you think?

How did you start with men?

Jean deflowered me the day after I met him

We met at my parents' friend's house

He came to me when I was in a lonely place and asked me many questions

Like you, you know?

The next day, he took me for a drive

He stopped in the forest of Fontainebleau

and took me right there in the car!

I guess it wasn't comfortable but it is quite common

According to statistics, 11% of girls are deflowered in a car

What does it change to be married?

Nothing. At first I found it strange to make love at night

Then he left

Wasn't he afraid to leave you in Paris?

No. He says I'm free to do whatever I want

That scares me

Is it true then? You've never cheated on your husband?

I said I never cheated on him in Paris

I said I never cheated on him in Paris

- Sorry - That's okay

What did you do today?

Like all my Bangkok girlfriends: nothing

- What can you do here? - There Are plenty of things to do

Tennis, golf, squash

You can sail on the canals, visit pagodas,

make love

Even when you are away?

You're not my object nor my beauty

You are beauty itself

I love you

If this is really love, how far can it go?

Deep love cannot be measured

- Am I the woman you want? - Even more than That

I want to become yet more than that!

How can I explain?

I feel like there should be something

more than just technique

I'm sure it lies in physical pleasure

It's all about mind and spirit

A different way of seeing love?

Not only love. Everything

I want to drink you

- I guess Marie-Ange troubled me - How come?

She's quite forward

Do you think this little girl will show you the mysteries of love?

Maybe. I'm sure I can improve

I probably need something to become a real woman

Your woman

Marie-Ange is innocent I mean, she's not guilty

She's so pure

Compared to her, I feel very prejudiced

Do you want to make love to her? Is that it?

Don't worry. Me too

No, I don't want to make love to her

She's like a teacher

Like you. She's so natural

Why can you say: 'He has a pretty nose,'

I had a dream last night, ' but you can't say:

I like his cock, he fucked me in the ass last night?'

You can. You just said so

Don't hold your racket like that, honey

- See? And keep your hand flexible, okay? - Okay

How nice! You're lovely

Let's stop now. My legs hurt

- You have such beautiful legs - I'm exhausted!

- Poor sweetie - Let's continue some other time

Come here

Oh, you're all wet!

So I am a free man!

Absolutely. You can do what you want as long as I can do the same

- This goes for all my husbands - What? Aren't I your first and only one?

- I'm talking about future ones - Did you hear That, Emmanuelle?

One day, I might be even more free. What do you think?

I don't need several husbands

- Oh, your young friend wants to see you - Excuse me

Honey, let me introduce you to Yves

Nice to meet you Jean has told me so much about you

You should visit Bangkok together She only knows the naughty places

- What a shame! I never go there! - I finally meet a virtuous man!

No, he's just hypocritical. That's part of his standards

- Hello - Hi sweetie!

Let me take Emmanuelle away from you

- I have a man for you - What makes you think I want one?

It's about time you get a lover if you want to become a real woman

But I love my husband!

You're like a virtuoso It's now time for you to go on stage

- Promise you'll do everything I say - Like What?

- You'll see - If you like

- There he is - Who?

- Mario, the man I've found for you - He's old!

Knowledge is forever young

Sorry, I don't like you I'll go back to my little life

Plus, you can only talk about sex

- I am tired now. Good-bye - What a woman!

- Hi! - Hi Marie-Ange

- This is Emmanuelle - Hello

The beauty of your friend surpasses words

- I will lend her to you if you want - And if I want!

You have a great body

You could compliment my dress, I'm not naked!

What matters to me is not whether you're naked or not but that I see you naked

Won't you smile for me?

- Let's make up over a drink - Were we mad at each other?

Marie-Ange told me a lot about you

Really? What did she say?

She talked about you and your Lolita games

You should become an adult. Are you happy the way you are?

- Not really - It's easy to change

Would you like to have dinner with me?

- So? - Maybe, I don't know

Now if you'll excuse me

- Marie-Ange! - So, What do you think of Mario?

- What about him? - He's great, isn't he?

He's not irresistible. He builds sentences and he likes to hear himself talk

- Introduce me to Bee please - Certainly not!

- Arianne, I need you - Excuse me

You need me?

You're naked under your dress!

Have you had sex since squash?

- Yes - With whom?

- I'm not telling - What is it That you want?

- I want to meet Bee - This sinful woman?

You're just like me, you know? And birds of a feather flock together

Oh no, I won't help you

- Can I speak to you? - All right, go ahead

Not here. Can we meet some day?

No, I'm leaving Bangkok tomorrow night

- Are you available tomorrow afternoon? - No, I'm working

Really? You must be the only woman working here! What do you do?

I'm an archaeologist. My name is Bee

Yes, I know. That's because you're a busy bee

I never thought of that

What are you doing?

It looks good on you. If you don't want it you can give it back to me tomorrow

- Are you kidding? - No. See you tomorrow

Where do we meet?

- Okay. See you at 2:00 in Khlong Wat Sai - Where?

- Along the canals. Okay? - I will find it

Dear Emmanuelle, you left too soon the other day

I will be waiting for you at 9:00 tonight. A chauffeur will pick you up Mario'

Mario?

Bee!

Help me please. This way

I'm sorry, I don't have much time. I had to advance the departure date

What a chance we met yesterday. I never take part in these events

- My boyfriend brought me there - Is the officer your boyfriend?

Yes. He kept insisting. He wanted to wear his brand new uniform

Why did you look at me like that yesterday?

Because you're beautiful!

Do you want some?

No. Tell me about yourself

It's hard to say. I'd rather have you talking about me

I think you're happy at work, that you never get bored

I wish!

Are you married?

No

- Are you in love? - No, I don't have time for that

When men meet in New York they want to know how much they earn

When women meet in embassies, they want to know

if they're in love or married

- Isn't it funny? - I don't think so

I feel like you're judging me. Now I don't know what else to say

Then don't say anything

- And you? - What?

Why did you look at me like that yesterday?

- Because I knew you Were different - In What?

Different from these women I meet in Bangkok

Doing nothing becomes an art here

- It's as if I'd just got out of prison - Are you bored?

- What? - Bored

Do you get bored in Bangkok?

I don't think so. Not any more!

- Are you okay? - Yes, thank you

- How far are you going? - Two days away from here

One day by jeep, and one day by horse

Well, anyway

It was a pleasure meeting you Sorry I didn't have much time

- When will I see you again? - Who knows?

- I don't even know your name - Emmanuelle

Bye, Emmanuelle

Emmanuelle!

- I almost forgot to give this back to you - Keep it please

- No, thanks - Oh, please! It's my favorite bracelet!

Oh, no. No way!

Good-bye now. I like you, Emmanuelle. You are a gorgeous doll but we'll play later

What are you doing?

I'm free, I can do whatever I want

If you say so!

This is the first time she hasn't come back home

- You must be happy - Why is that?

You kept telling her she's free

Now she is!

You never really wanted her freedom

You wanted to use her as you please

Yes? Let him in

- Do you speak French? - Yes, sir

Go look for Madame

Tell your master it's too late

- Too late! - Yes, sir

We have to hurry up if we want to be on time

- Is it still far? - No. We've just lost some time

- You think so? - What?

That we've lost some time?

No. That's not what I meant. Let's go!

- What will I wear? - Wait

Here you go

Great!

I have something to tell you

Something I've said a thousand times,

but only to my husband

I love him as much as anyone could

Well, that's what I thought

He has always said that love was the search for pleasure

Always further With a man or a woman

Now I feel like there's something else

When I saw the waterfall, I thought: 'How beautiful!'

I shared it with you

because I believe it can only be said to someone you love

Listen, I like you

That means...

I don't want to hurt you

That also means that I don't love you

All right?

Don't worry

I'll tell you something

One day at school, I wrote a flawless essay

I was proud

But the teacher accused me of cheating She wouldn't believe me

I was so disappointed

that I cried for two days

And when my sorrow stopped, I was sad to be consoled so quickly

Look who's here! The bachelor!

I need to talk to you

I don't have much to say at this time but do come in for a nightcap

I've just got home

I may have drunk a little too much

Gilbert is staying with Martine, the consul's daughter

She hates being alone at night. So do I

That's why I'm glad you're here,

even if you don't seem to be in the mood

- Where is Emmanuelle? - I have No idea

And I don't care

- You introduced her to Bee, right? - More or less

She's with her? Then she'll come back

- Women always do - I'm not joking!

I know And you're getting annoying

Well, not exactly

Many of my friends actually find the situation very funny

Help me please

I don't know what to do. Emmanuelle has gone too far

Do I have to say it? You're ridiculous!

You're doing exactly what you were blaming her for: showing your feelings!

Do you at least know what feelings are?

Believe me, instead of crying, you should start focusing on her education

And if you can't, leave it to competent people

Like Mario He seems very interested

- Arianne, you're a bitch - Really?

So what are you waiting for?

You, whore!

What is it you're wearing?

It's all right, sweetie

I don't want to play the adult anymore!

I'm just terrible at it

I tried to get interested in their stories

But I can't. Not anymore!

Don't worry, it's all right

It's much better this way

It would only hurt you

Traditional couples only experience power struggles

Passionate love is not for us

It's too sad and humiliating

Forget this woman

You must forget and get revenge in somebody else's arms

It's the only answer, the only answer she expects

I will help you, I will help you

Hurry up!

I booked the court at 10:00 and it's already 10 past

It's always the same. Can't you be on time?

- I'm always on time - When you arrive, not When you leave

- What's wrong with you? - Nothing. you disappointed me

I know why. You're jealous

Me, jealous? Of Bee?

Poor darling, you really don't get it

Your affair with Bee is everything I hate

I'm for restraint

Violins, walks in moonlight

It's not my thing

I like surprises

Did you know I slept with your husband?

He told me. Did you like it?

It was unexpected He almost raped me

- He raped you? - Almost

Help me please

What?

Help me with the bra

I like your skin It's so soft, so smooth!

- Stop it! - What's wrong?

We're late. Remember?

We can play squash another day

and have a game of our own instead

Leave me alone!

- Let me give you some advice - No!

You'll get it anyway

You're going through life

like a baby waiting for her first cold

You have to pay with your person if you don't want to become a statue

If you want to live and forget Bee

You must learn. Go see Mario

Why are you all praising this old man?

He knows erotic science

Erotic science!

When you are young, you make love naturally

But at Mario's age, it's poetry

It's something you want, you think of and decide

That is eroticism!

Go see Mario

I don't like him! He's everything I hate

And he's an aging Don Juan

You promised Marie-Ange to do everything she said

How do you know?

- She told me - I want to talk to her

She's on holidays with her parents by the seashore

I promised we would visit her

- Did you See her while I was away? - Yes

Why did you invite Mario?

He came to see you the other night You weren't there

So I told him to come back

- And he accepted? - Of course

You look just great

I feel like you're sending me to the executioner

Why don't you get dressed?

I didn't want to ruin your evening I'm going to Vientiane for two days

I leave you alone with Mario

- You're beautiful - That's the least I could do

I'm glad you came

Let's have a toast to the future law

Can you first tell me what is this law?

It states that love must be made

without fear nor restraint

Virginity is no virtue

The couple has boundaries

and these boundaries must be broken

To the future law

Let's eat, now Eating is also very important

Jean says there's one thing more important

Coming a lot

- I'm not afraid - Good. Fear must be banished

Fear of thinking, fear of being happy

Fear creates a false morality

Taboos, conformity, refusal to live

This is all lies

Come here!

You see these legs? You like them?

Take them

They're yours!

You mustn't give it all to one person

And you? What part of me do you want?

- Let me go now - Let you go?

Or take whatever you want from me

Make love to me and send me back to Jean

Your husband is not there and he entrusted me with you

Why?

You must break your barriers

and enter the forbidden land of eroticism

How do you perceive eroticism?

Well, it's... How shall I put it?

- It's the cult of sensual pleasure? - Not at All

It's more than an exercise of the senses It's rather a movement of the soul

An art, a school that helps humanizing sexual acts

It's the refusal of subterfuge. It gives way to lucidity

It's not very tempting then

Is eroticism the opposite of making love?

It's actually through love

The effort to break with everyday life

It's the victory of dreams over nature

I'd rather think of love as pleasure

What counts is not making love, but how you make it

- You mean the thirty-two positions? - This is ridiculous

Although Asians use body techniques

to reach a certain stage of fulfillment

you need to start from the body

to go to other people and to yourself

Take off the gag

and scream what was shut for centuries

Destroy established values

Fill your head

with sensations that no one can give you

Use the unusual,

what's out of the ordinary

The woman who is made pregnant in her conjugal bed doesn't know eroticism

Have many affairs

No word, no feeling

My empty head has become...

so scared and greedy

Death is the only way out

Why are you saying this?

No!

I waited for her to fall asleep. I left in the middle of the night

I don't even know how I made my way back to Bangkok

Bee doesn't exist. You made her up

I may have invented many things lately

It's because we are somewhere else, concerned with trivialities

Napoleon kept counting spoons in St Helena

Never give up. At any price

How curious! Everyone agrees on that

but when it comes to sex, it's a scandal

I'm a great and respectable collector

I collect situations

Take me now. You don't know me yet

That would be too easy. Let me guide you

This moment is always the same. but I'll make it unforgettable

Real love is always against nature

Real love is erection, not orgasm

The couple should be outlawed

and a third person introduced by force

I'll be back in a second

- Have you ever attended Thai boxing? - No

It is extremely violent You'll have the chance to witness it

You will see it like no one else

The winner wins a prize

Whom do you prefer?

I'm proud as the first day my blood flowed

It was on my twelfth birthday

I hate idiots and inhibited persons All those laughing as if they were tickled

I'm a woman now

We're not done yet

You have to spend the night here

What more do you want from me?

Take off your dress

I'm tired

- You don't desire me, do you? - I desire somebody else

- Really? - Another Emmanuelle

The one I don't know yet. The one you don't even know yourself

You must reach the unknown and upset all the senses

The couple should be outlawed

and a third person introduced by force

The couple should be outlawed

and a third person introduced by force
