Original subtitles

I'd come to Paris in search of a little relaxation.

I had a job in the south of France turning the tables at a local disco

After shopping around a while, I ended up casing, guess what, a popular

disco where I happened to have an old friend.

What'd you like to drink?

Got. Okay.

Oh, hey, what's going down?

Down, down, boy.

What the hell are you doing here?

De -stressing.

Two or three days.

Ah, cool. You might get re -stressed. Fast, buddy. I know you. You won't

reprobate. Later, baby.

Really cool.

Get it, sir, men.

He's the mother of victims, right?

Long live destiny, I say.

Hi, I'm Jack.

I'm Susie.

I'm American.

I am an earthling.

I'm delighted.

I'm glad.

Let's blow this joint.

Hey, where's my friend? He just left with Susie.

Oh, no, you mean that?

Yeah, and when he opens the package, you can bet he's going to find a few

surprises inside.

Hey, are you sure? I'm positive.

Shit.

My play? Okay, but I gotta get my bag first.

Hey,

Jack! Jack!

Come back!

Jack! Jack!

So what do you do?

I make people dance. Disco. You know.

Oh, I love this jockey.

Terrific. I win again.

Watch it. Boy, you Americans are fast this year.

What a drag. There's no electricity.

Wait, I'll find something.

Right this way. Follow me.

And don't bump into anything.

Hey, your apartment's very big.

I don't complain.

Watch it.

Watch it.

How come you didn't want to go to my hotel?

Never. I don't go with strangers to a hotel.

Besides, only hookers go to hotels.

Hey, it seems pretty comfy here.

Does the juice often go off?

There have been some workmen here on and off recently. They must have shut it

off or something. Does it bother you?

I find it exciting, don't you?

Yeah, very.

You can tell how excited I am, can't you?

Not bad.

Thanks. You naughty boy.

That is exciting.

And now, we get a little ambiance going for ourselves here.

Okay, first I take off my clothes. Okay, while you're doing that, I set up.

Wow Take

it

off

Okay.

into the wrong apartment.

Wow. There sure are a lot of people in your family.

Do they ever come in groups?

I woke in the morning to a big surprise.

I discovered I'd spent the night in a furniture store, and I wasn't the only

person to be surprised.

The manager and his staff made it very clear I wasn't welcome.

What is this?

Hands up!

I've been thrown out of clubs, bars, and ladies' apartments, never out of a

furniture store.

But this is the first time for everything.

I was due back at work, and I had to get a plane to the south of France.

Take me straight to Orly. Air interior. I'm flying the knee. Flying, monsieur.

But there are no flights at all.

There is a strike on.

I'll have to take the train.

Don't worry,

just take my ring.

There, here.

Take it and leave me alone.

That's it, huh?

I only just managed to catch the train.

I finally arrived at my destination, the south of France.

Hey, what is going on? Oh, I share the apartment.

My buddy must have given me the wrong key.

Well, maybe he'll be back soon. Oh, he's gone to Marbella for a month.

Say, aren't you the DJ at Caron Trois?

Ha!

The one and only!

And the great!

And unique!

The marvelous!

The wonderful!

The incredible Jack Rochester.

I drive crowds wild, and sometimes I have the same effect on women.

Haven't I seen you somewhere?

Oh, sometimes I go to your car en trois. I like to dance there, but I'm not a

member. I didn't know you lived here.

Well, I just moved in.

Say,

I'm real tired.

I'm really whiffed. I've been to Paris.

I just got back by train.

Strikes.

I didn't sweep a wink.

You must be tired.

Want some coffee?

You're an angel.

Come on in. Make yourself comfortable.

This is home.

Coffee's coming right up.

Thank God.

You're really tired, huh?

Why don't you put on a record for a change?

Funny.

Think? Think nothing of it, my dear.

What were you doing there?

Just sightseeing.

Oh, I spent absolute days and days at the Louvre.

Really? Yeah.

I was particularly turned on by the Fragonard.

Oh, yeah?

I love Fragonard.

I also recall it's a pub 30s exhibition.

The galleys. The galleys were exquisite.

Galleys?

Great galley.

You know, I've always wanted to be a member of that club where you were.

Uh, yeah?

Well, I could probably fix that up for you. Sure.

Could you do that to me?

How can I ever repay you?

Careful, it's very hot.

Oh.

You asleep?

No.

I made you some toast and honey.

I hope you like it.

If you'll excuse me now, I'll be back in a minute.

Then we can call the locksmith if you like, okay? Okay.

from Columbia, you know.

Oh, God. You know, the dress is in Paris, and I can't believe

the sweat is there. Oh, shit. I got smoke in my eye.

Hey, you've had a little nap.

Now, want me to call the locksmith?

Ah.

Ah.

Have a cigarette?

French?

Souvenir of a coincidence.

That's all.

And could you really do something about getting me a club card?

You can count on it.

wasn't just a woman. She was a tigress.

In my tired and confused imagination, it seemed that everything started to

happen very fast.

I've never been chased like this before in my life.

I'm normally a guy who likes to set the pace, but not this time.

But finally everything began to slow down, and just as I reached the climax

the whole affair, I fell asleep.

And now I'm a real member of your club.

And that's how I met Bridget.

Bridget drove off to the Carlton Hotel, where she worked in the Cartier jewelry

boutique.

Yes, sir? My bill, please. Certainly, sir.

Any messages for me?

No messages, ma 'am.

Hello, Bridget.

Your Excellency, we'll have your bill here in a moment.

As a matter of fact, I changed my mind.

May I keep the suite for an additional evening?

It will be our pleasure.

Tantos, the Count's keys, please.

Thank you.

Thanks. Talk about acting.

Good morning, Cartier.

Yes.

A private showing.

But of course.

What specifically are you interested in?

I see.

And for whom, may I ask?

Count Crespi's 344.

Yes, Count.

I won't be a moment.

These should impress any Count.

The necklace!

Maybe I should take along a ring for good luck.

I'm sure you'll be safe, Bridget.

This should keep me as safe as these precious gems, I hope.

That's right.

For two.

And don't forget the champagne.

Well chilled.

Oui, monsieur.

No, no, no, no, no.

Grazie, grazie.

Grazie, grazie.

Così va bene.

Tutto a porto.

Do come in.

Excuse me.

I was just on the telephone.

Make yourself at home.

Yes. Yes, Your Highness.

He is an unbeliever.

But he can build your terminal for 14 million less.

Yes, indeed, it is worth it.

Well, my faith will make up for his.

Salaam alaikum, eh?

Ciao. Until tomorrow.

Sorry.

For my protection, as well as yours, signorina.

And for the pretty babies you are carrying.

I quite agree.

Please, take a load off, as you Americans say.

I'll close the curtains just a little, and the light should then be just right

for showing off your attractions.

I am Count Aldo Crespi of Savona.

Bridget Anders Cartier.

Delighted. I hope you will join me for a humble breakfast.

Smoked salmon.

Body caviar and, of course, champagne.

I hope it is to your taste.

An ideal choice for my waistline.

But isn't it a bit late for breakfast?

On the contrary, my dear. For me, it's barely dawn.

When did you get to bed?

To be naughty?

I should say I go to bed every time I meet a charming lady like yourself.

But let's get down to business.

Show me your treasures.

Oh, yes.

Magnifico.

Extraordinary. I get sexual excitement for beauty.

Please, show me the rings first.

Oh, sorry.

Come in, come in, come in.

Just leave it there.

Thanks, monsieur.

I'll serve the lady.

To what?

Now,

where were we?

The rings, Your Excellency.

I have several cuts and slices here.

Some of them are excellent. Extraordinarily large.

The Brillion, for example.

It's full two carats.

That's a pretty bauble.

Let's keep it aside.

This is the heart shape.

See how its facets catch the light?

Such intuition.

You have brought precisely the items...

I'm most interested in. You know gems extremely well.

So many fine gems.

I'm given to feelings of avarice.

Not so fast, Count.

You're not giving yourself any time to compare, are you?

Please count. I can't keep up with you, and I'm missing two rings.

Really? Where could they possibly be?

Give me your hand.

Forgive me, my dear, but your beauty eclipses even your

wonders of art.

That's very generous, Your Excellency.

Now please, give me back my ring.

Have you made your choice, then? Yes.

Dinner at 8.

I need more time to consider my selection.

Pavini?

My card, Your Excellency.

Maybe we can arrange a subsequent choice.

Don't forget.

Dinner at 8.

I'm happy to say I haven't forgotten anything here.

Maybe we'll each have better luck next time.

But of course, my beauty.

I'd just like to run with it.

Banko, banko.

But don't you think I could try to play now?

You've got to know when to hold them and when to fold them.

Cards.

Look out.

And me.

God.

Monsieur, talk.

You bastard.

You've got a hell of a nerve walking in like that. What if Gino saw you?

He's Italian. He's hot -blooded.

So am I, Maria.

It's not.

You make me hunger for you more.

This is a prayer you lost. I've made my deposit.

Okay.

I had eyes for nobody but you.

Mmhmm.

You will not have that tonight.

I should have left you where I found you.

Just a beach boy in Capri.

Did you disappear for so long?

I was drowning my sorrows.

I don't like you. Really?

You should keep your energy for the thing you're best at.

You know what they say.

Unlucky cards, lucky in love, darling.

It's your husband's cologne I smell on you.

It's these foul cigarettes.

Now, my darling, can we go away this weekend?

How? With what money?

We both need a little exercise, don't you agree?

Let's go skiing up, eh?

How?

Is that phony count going to plague us for the rest of our lives? I won't have

you sleeping with your husband. It's immoral. It's immoral, I tell you.

Maybe I do, but I don't enjoy it. Here, let me have another look at that ring he

gave you.

It's not!

That's not a fake. I can tell the difference.

I can tell.

You must trust me.

Come on.

If you're going to accept presents, we can cash them at least. At least. Let's

go and have it valued, eh?

Come on home now.

Pretend I'm your wife.

I don't enjoy it with my wife.

What did you mean back there?

It's not funny at all.

And don't try that on.

. .

.

Oh.

Look at that damn ring.

I can tell it's genuine. It's not fake. Believe me, Gino.

Stop it. You're hurting me. Don't.

Then tell me the truth. Where did you get this?

Oh, this is both of us. I'm going to break his neck, and then I'll break

It's a fake, fake, a close look. It's perfectly obvious, Gene. Is it? We can

find out very easily. We can go to an expert.

All right. You agree?

Let's go.

I know the answer.

If you could only give us just a rough idea of its value A friend gave it to

I'm sure it has no value. You agree, darling.

You agree to get a professional opinion.

This gentleman will have an answer for us in a moment.

Of course, it's easy to be fooled at first, particularly with such

craftsmanship.

I'm sorry, but the ring is worthless, except as a very good imitation.

How much would you say it's worth?

How much?

Several thousand lire, perhaps, if you like a costume jewelry like this.

There you are. Do you believe me now?

May I show the signore something more suitable for the lady?

Sure. Why not?

It'll have to be some other time, though.

Thanks very much.

And good day, sir. At your service.

is at your disposal for further appraisal. A good day.

A good day.

I left my bag here.

I'll give you $6 ,000 right now.

We can't settle it now.

But perhaps we can meet again to talk about the price. Right now, Dagmar. Come

on, please.

Are you comfortable?

Yes, thank you. That's good.

Please fasten your seatbelt.

Okay.

You should have seen their faces, Giorgio, every time. Banco, banco,

banco! I needed an armed guard to cart my winnings home.

Is that why I had to pay your taxi to the airport, eh?

The true Medici travels without a lira.

I notice you're not traveling without your little lotus blossom.

Rank has its privileges.

Hello, I'm Yo -Yo. Fly me.

No hijackers, no claustrophobics. We'll have a smooth flight.

Hello, Giorgio.

We'll have your kosher meal in an hour.

Would you mind taking a look in the rear cabin?

There's some turbulence on the chart.

Okay.

I want to be sure the stabilizers are in trim.

Understood.

I told you I'd get you the whole coat.

I really am worried about my sister.

It's got me all tense.

Here, let me help you.

James, I did it again. Are you wearing a Mae West or is that all you?

I'm so grateful to you for getting me on this flight.

I even remembered to bring you these terrible cigarettes.

What?

Clove. I love clove. Ah, yes.

Is everything okay like that?

I mean, do we have a few moments, please?

We can put it in automatic.

Oh, Captain.

My Captain.

My crew.

Oh, my crew.

Could the captain inform us when the turbulence is going to be over?

Shall we fly united?

Captain? Captain?

Captain?

Captain?

What are they doing there?

Take me to my sister's home. Thank you.

What's the matter? Why so unhappy?

A few days ago, something dreadful happened to me.

I was going shopping for a birthday present for my husband, and I took the

I noticed a man was staring at me.

He took a photo of me.

I could not think why.

I got off the tram and tried to shake him off.

But he followed me.

There was nothing I could do.

I'd like to ask you some questions about your husband.

Hey wait!

What do you want?

Money? Do I look like a thief?

I'm a journalist.

I want to ask you some questions about your husband.

We met before. Don't you remember at a press reception?

No, I forgot her.

Anyway, I have nothing to tell you about my husband.

Well, I have something to tell you.

What? About his money.

Do you know where he gets all his money?

Business. He has his own business.

Yes. Business being drugs?

Look, he's the largest drug dealer in Southeast Asia. You don't know that?

No.

Okay, this story's being published.

But I want to talk to you, see how you feel about it.

This is the truth.

You mustn't do this. What do you want from me?

Why do I want from you?

Yes.

I hurried away, hoping I wouldn't hear from him again.

Oh, poor Coco.

We're so different.

Now, if it was my problem, it wouldn't bother me at all.

This journalist, what's his name?

Blake? He sounds quite good looking.

I think he would kill the story about my husband if I sleep with him tonight.

But if I were to do so, and my husband found out, I would kill myself.

Have you made plans to see him?

We have a rendezvous tonight.

He wants me to go with him to some... some secret place where we will make

Keep the rendezvous. I will follow you. And without him knowing, take your

place. But if he finds out?

He need never know.

But in bed, maybe he will see the butterfly.

The butterfly?

Don't you remember?

When we were at school together, for some stupid bet, we were both tattooed.

Of course I remember.

Your butterfly is on the right.

Mine is on the left.

Leave it to me.

Tonight we will give him more to think about than butterflies.

Well, I asked for an air -conditioned room.

The smell of it, it's very well conditioned indeed.

I'm starting to feel high already.

Maybe you'd like to make yourself more comfortable.

Just a moment.

Come on.

That's it.

Right there.

Oh!

Thank you.

I'm sorry I didn't mean to be rude by staring at you. I've had some

very confusing situations lately.

Oh, really?

Yeah. Do you mind if I sit here?

Sure, go ahead. Thanks. I don't mind.

So, you headed back to the States?

Oh, yeah. I was on location here in Hong Kong.

I was working on a film. Really?

Uh -huh.

Well, I'm, uh, I'm Blake Worleston.

Hello, Blake. Uh, Jill St. George.

Hi, Jill.

Hi, Blake.

Jake? Jake.

Let's go get our bags.

Alright.

Hey. Well, I think we make pretty good traveling companions.

What do you think? I think we do.

You know, that was the shortest foreign plane trip I ever made.

I had a bomb.

Yeah, so did I.

Where are you staying in Los Angeles?

Oh, the place isn't really mine.

It belongs to a friend.

Uh -huh.

He's filthy rich.

How rich?

And how filthy?

Well, I have a room at the Beverly Hills Hotel, but do I detect an invitation?

George has your bags in the car.

George? Who's George?

He's a chauffeur. Oh. He's very discreet.

Hi, George.

Hello,

George.

First time you've been alone, ain't it?

Are

you sure

George is discreet?

His lips are sealed.

I'm glad yours aren't sealed.

I wish George were concentrating on the scenery I think he is

George

Your hands are cold.

The rest of me is warming up very nicely.

Factor. Factor.

Are we almost there?

I think so.

Hello, love. Hello.

There you go.

That's for you.

Thank you.

Yeah, that's for me.

We're doing pretty well on this, aren't we? I think we are.

Cheers.

Cheers.

To us.

Drink to that.

Cheers.

really glad we met.

So I.

You know, this is a great setup you've got here.

I like it.

What are those?

What, these?

They're funny little things I take.

They're strange.

They're supposed to be good, but they're herbal.

I got them in Hong Kong from a girl I met there.

Oh, excuse me.

agent has called.

I get to go to New York tomorrow to audition for a Broadway play.

Congratulations. The lead.

Terrific.

I suppose you'll have to sleep with the producer.

Probably.

Yeah. And the director.

And the stage manager.

The publicist.

And, um...

Not all the electricians.

But, you know, it might help my career a little if I concur with you.

That's something I never thought of.

That's an excellent idea.

Hi.

Could you drop me off here for a moment and wait for me? Yes, ma 'am.

I was early for my audition.

So I decided to do a little window shopping.

It had to be bad, because I had no money.

Then I couldn't find the limousine, and I got worried.

Just as I was trying to call a cab, the chauffeur arrived and took me to my

appointment.

Hi. Mr. Michael Manning? Yes, it's me. Please come in.

I'm sorry if I'm a little late. Oh, that's all right. My agent said you

have another appointment.

You must be... Jill St. George. Oh, I'm so sorry.

Come on in the salon.

Is it cold outside?

Yes. Yeah.

Come on in and get warm.

Sit down. Make yourself at home.

Thank you. Would you like a drink?

No, thank you.

Not right now.

Uh, Jane, um... Jill. I'm sorry, excuse me, of course.

Uh, do you know anything about the role?

Well, um, actually, not very much, but my agent did mention something

about nudity.

Ah, yes, would that be a problem?

Well, I...

I have done nude photography before, but it was in very good taste and

very artistic.

Natural mojo.

But doing it on stage, in front of a live audience, in

the flesh, naked.

Naked as a jaybird, I'd say.

Do you want me to undress?

Yes.

Okay. Beautiful.

Turn. A little bit more now.

Turn a little bit more for me, please.

Voila.

Superb.

Beautiful. Now, give me your profile.

Beautiful like that.

Move a little bit to the right.

Beautiful. Superb. Now,

sit down. Sit down in the chair right next to you.

Beautiful.

Beautiful. Okay.

Take a glass.

Take the glass.

Drink it.

Take the glass a little bit more sensually.

Voilà.

Okay, Bravo, come up.

Stand up and be a little bit more erotic.

Okay?

Move. Round.

And the action?

Oh, that, that, uh, that, yeah, that's nice. I'll tell you what.

Listen, I'll be the director of the play, okay?

You're the actress. All right. And we'll reenact a scene, huh? How's that sound?

Okay. Now, that's right. You just sit right over there, okay?

Okay.

So listen, the whole sense of the scenario is that you're trying to seduce

right?

Hello? She's coming upstairs now? Jesus Christ.

What's your next appointment?

I'm afraid so.

Okay, well, why don't I just go on into the bedroom?

Okay. Hey, listen.

Why don't we get together for dinner tonight, huh?

Oh, that would be terrific.

I'd love to. Okay, yeah.

Cheers. Cheers.

Good wine, good food, and excellent company.

I just love your hair like that.

Thank you.

That reminds me, I was completely broke, so I had to charge it to your room. I

hope you don't mind.

That's deductible anyway.

But what I'd really like is to have another rehearsal, Laura.

You can't be talking about another undress rehearsal.

I just can't wait for opening night.

You know, you're really not right for that role.

What?

The author wanted some 40 -year -old redhead.

Oh.

Can't the author do a rewrite?

But he's in Paris. What do you want me to do? Take the Concorde and fly to

Paris?

Yes. I mean, go to Paris.

Talk to him.

Convince him.

Yeah, just like that.

I convinced you.

Or didn't I?

You got a deal.

Really?

Well, in that case, how about a salary advance?

Let's sign the contract now.

Obviously, you have no intention of taking my schedule.

No, listen to me. The girl's great. Got a lot of talent. I wouldn't use her

otherwise. What kind of talent you buy for 500 francs? Listen.

Pay your cards right now. See if I can arrange some action for you.

Ah, what I admire in you, Mike, is your dedication to art.

You've never let a thing like sex influence you.

Just take it easy.

Stay up, women, just for ten minutes.

Anybody?

Can you light me a sale?

Oh, sure, honey.

Your accent kills you from New York.

Can I buy you a drink, huh?

A Manhattan in honor of your city.

A Manhattan for the lady, and I'll have a Parisienne.

I'll have a Parisienne in honor of yours.

Did you get that? A Manhattan and a Parisienne.

Ma 'am.

Thanks. Good.

I adore you, America.

You are so much more gentlemanly than Frenchmen.

To America.

A chance encounter.

I love this beat.

Excuse me just a minute, will you?

Hey, Michael.

Hello, darling.

Surely you can't be leaving so soon. Yeah.

Excuse me.

I can't believe you're still smoking.

The guy's mad.

He made your kisses taste like air.

Cut it out.

What the hell? He feels this great urge to show he's Mr. Macho.

You're not together, are you?

Why are you wasting a lovely girl's time, I guess? You've lost your goddamn

mind.

Now, stop this utterly ridiculous play -acting. Is it play -acting? Now, throw

all those disgusting things away. Nobody should smoke this foreign legion shit.

But if anyone does, it should be a French girl. Is he telling the truth

you? Well, yes, I'm sorry to say he is.

Please try to forgive me. I'm very sorry.

Cardamon.

But that's my past.

I wrote that.

Who was it?

Jack?

Jack.

Jack.
