1
00:01:53,613 --> 00:01:57,128
PARIS 1934

2
00:02:43,533 --> 00:02:45,046
For the taxi, Richard?

3
00:02:46,573 --> 00:02:48,564
No, I have bills to pay.

4
00:02:49,213 --> 00:02:51,329
At least leave me enough
for breakfast.

5
00:02:51,413 --> 00:02:54,723
Toddy, you don't think I'm venal.

6
00:02:55,013 --> 00:02:56,332
I would say "unscrupulous".

7
00:02:56,413 --> 00:02:58,324
It's money well spent, yours.

8
00:02:58,813 --> 00:03:01,168
I'd say they're well spent for both of us.

9
00:03:01,253 --> 00:03:05,451
If our agreement doesn't satisfy you...

10
00:03:05,533 --> 00:03:07,444
In fact, it doesn't satisfy me.

11
00:03:07,533 --> 00:03:09,524
But as the immortal poet says:

12
00:03:09,613 --> 00:03:12,605
"Love doesn't look with your eyes
but through the mind

13
00:03:12,773 --> 00:03:15,333
"Therefore the winged Cupid
he is depicted blindfolded"

14
00:03:19,933 --> 00:03:21,446
Have a nice day, Toddy.

15
00:03:21,813 --> 00:03:23,041
I'll do my best.

16
00:04:48,493 --> 00:04:51,610
As you see, Monsieur Labisse,
I have a decent voice.

17
00:04:51,693 --> 00:04:54,730
Yes, but I'm looking
something more indiscreet.

18
00:04:54,933 --> 00:04:57,845
-I'm sure that with a little practice...
-Excuse me.

19
00:04:58,053 --> 00:05:01,841
It's as if a nun were saying
who with practice would be a prostitute.

20
00:05:04,093 --> 00:05:06,402
-It has to come naturally.
-Right.

21
00:05:06,573 --> 00:05:09,690
In some professions
practice matters very little,

22
00:05:09,773 --> 00:05:13,129
so take my advice
and continue singing Carmen.

23
00:05:13,973 --> 00:05:17,283
I am a light soprano,
not a mezzo-soprano.

24
00:05:17,613 --> 00:05:21,526
Whatever it is,
Andrè Cassell shouldn't have sent her here.

25
00:05:21,613 --> 00:05:24,525
-He didn't.
-He told me he was his agent.

26
00:05:24,813 --> 00:05:26,644
I lied. Thank you.

27
00:05:29,133 --> 00:05:30,885
Contrary to what you think,

28
00:05:30,973 --> 00:05:34,602
in some professions
practice leads to perfection.

29
00:05:45,133 --> 00:05:47,442
-What the hell was that?
-A B flat.

30
00:07:42,693 --> 00:07:45,161
-Mr Director, she's back.
-What?

31
00:07:54,853 --> 00:07:55,842
Hey!

32
00:08:03,013 --> 00:08:04,332
Miss Grant.

33
00:08:06,093 --> 00:08:08,687
He owes me two weeks.

34
00:08:09,053 --> 00:08:11,521
-One moment.
-What?

35
00:08:11,853 --> 00:08:15,482
He promised to pay me on Tuesday,
then Wednesday, then Thursday.

36
00:08:16,773 --> 00:08:18,411
-What is it?
-What?

37
00:08:25,213 --> 00:08:26,328
Spaghetti?

38
00:08:26,573 --> 00:08:28,643
Yes, with meatballs.

39
00:08:29,493 --> 00:08:31,802
I'll sleep with her for a meatball.

40
00:08:32,333 --> 00:08:34,403
-What will he do?
-He missed an opportunity.

41
00:08:34,653 --> 00:08:37,531
Don't do it! It won't do her any good.

42
00:08:38,253 --> 00:08:41,962
I have been doing this job for twenty years.
I know all the tricks.

43
00:08:42,213 --> 00:08:45,683
Come on, get up!
I don't care if he has bubonic plague.

44
00:08:45,773 --> 00:08:46,967
If you can't pay...

45
00:08:47,053 --> 00:08:50,682
I will confiscate his personal effects
and I will evict her.

46
00:08:50,773 --> 00:08:52,001
What happened?

47
00:08:53,093 --> 00:08:56,768
He made an offer I couldn't refuse
and then pretended to faint.

48
00:08:56,853 --> 00:08:59,208
Don't be ridiculous.
I've never pretended to faint.

49
00:08:59,293 --> 00:09:00,169
Of course not!

50
00:09:00,253 --> 00:09:03,689
-What is he doing?
-I help him stand.

51
00:09:03,773 --> 00:09:07,083
-I felt like I was standing.
-Maybe she wants to lie down.

52
00:09:07,173 --> 00:09:08,765
It's confusing me.

53
00:09:08,853 --> 00:09:11,651
We will definitely find a solution
for rent.

54
00:09:12,013 --> 00:09:14,732
Whatever you think,
I'm not a mean man.

55
00:09:16,253 --> 00:09:18,005
-What is it?
-There!

56
00:09:18,093 --> 00:09:19,162
-Where?
-Over there!

57
00:09:19,253 --> 00:09:20,481
-That?
-A cockroach!

58
00:09:20,573 --> 00:09:21,608
What?

59
00:09:24,453 --> 00:09:27,729
Excuse me! I can't stand cockroaches!

60
00:09:27,813 --> 00:09:31,362
-Especially in hotel rooms, right?
-Everywhere!

61
00:09:31,693 --> 00:09:35,288
If I forget his debt
You won't tell the health office, will you?

62
00:09:35,973 --> 00:09:38,203
I repeat, I will get my money.

63
00:09:38,293 --> 00:09:41,603
And in case he thinks about leaving
during the night...

64
00:09:42,013 --> 00:09:44,004
Please don't leave me alone!

65
00:09:52,133 --> 00:09:55,409
I know what it is. It's a nightmare.

66
00:11:32,333 --> 00:11:34,563
Toddy started warbling again.

67
00:12:00,013 --> 00:12:01,082
Waiter!

68
00:12:15,333 --> 00:12:16,482
How boring.

69
00:12:26,013 --> 00:12:30,529
Thank you. You are very kind.

70
00:12:31,453 --> 00:12:33,171
And all different.

71
00:12:34,373 --> 00:12:36,762
I see there are some celebrities here tonight.

72
00:12:37,173 --> 00:12:41,610
Miss Simone Kallisto,
star of theatre, cinema and circus.

73
00:12:42,453 --> 00:12:45,286
-A bow, dear.
-Stick it in that place, chèri.

74
00:12:45,373 --> 00:12:46,852
Speaking of circus,

75
00:12:47,333 --> 00:12:50,245
but you are not Richard Di Nardo,
the famous trapeze artist?

76
00:12:50,653 --> 00:12:52,132
Take it easy, Toddy.

77
00:12:52,973 --> 00:12:55,487
You're not funny at all.

78
00:12:56,013 --> 00:12:58,607
So why don't you go to hell?

79
00:12:58,733 --> 00:13:01,964
He should be ashamed to carry
his sweet old mother...

80
00:13:02,053 --> 00:13:03,691
in such a place!

81
00:13:05,773 --> 00:13:08,924
Ladies and gentlemen,
you are about to have a wonderful surprise.

82
00:13:11,733 --> 00:13:15,248
No! Please!

83
00:13:58,773 --> 00:14:01,333
But no one really got hurt.

84
00:14:01,613 --> 00:14:03,763
This is why it will only close for a week.

85
00:14:03,853 --> 00:14:06,413
Do you know how much I will lose in a week?

86
00:14:06,733 --> 00:14:10,487
A quarter of what he will lose in a month
if there are still problems.

87
00:14:22,413 --> 00:14:23,641
You're fired.

88
00:14:26,173 --> 00:14:27,526
I can't afford it.

89
00:14:27,613 --> 00:14:30,491
Can't afford it? And me?
What about all this?

90
00:14:30,573 --> 00:14:31,608
Ice.

91
00:14:31,973 --> 00:14:35,249
-You could deduct the expenses from my pay.
-Get out of here!

92
00:14:36,333 --> 00:14:39,211
-All right.
-And don't come back!

93
00:14:39,333 --> 00:14:43,406
If you set foot in here again
I'll have you thrown out!

94
00:14:43,893 --> 00:14:46,009
Don't make it seem like a threat.

95
00:14:46,093 --> 00:14:49,802
Being kicked out of here is better
than being kicked out of a leper colony.

96
00:14:49,893 --> 00:14:51,167
Out!

97
00:15:01,333 --> 00:15:02,732
Something to drink?

98
00:15:04,093 --> 00:15:05,685
May I see a wine list?

99
00:15:05,773 --> 00:15:09,527
We have a 1934 white
and a 1934 red.

100
00:15:10,333 --> 00:15:14,087
Last week we had a rosé,
but we are using it for salad.

101
00:15:14,173 --> 00:15:17,210
-Which one do you recommend?
-Red costs six cents less.

102
00:15:17,293 --> 00:15:18,726
I'll take the white.

103
00:15:19,453 --> 00:15:21,444
I bet she's a Rockefeller.

104
00:15:59,133 --> 00:16:00,202
Is something wrong?

105
00:16:00,293 --> 00:16:02,966
-I thought he had a dog.
-A dog?

106
00:16:03,053 --> 00:16:07,126
I was only gone for five minutes,
I thought they helped her eat.

107
00:16:07,213 --> 00:16:08,532
It was excellent.

108
00:16:09,253 --> 00:16:11,164
-Do you want a salad?
-Later.

109
00:16:11,253 --> 00:16:12,083
Later.

110
00:16:12,173 --> 00:16:14,368
The chicken was great, I would like to try the pork.

111
00:16:14,453 --> 00:16:15,886
-Well.
-Does it take long?

112
00:16:15,973 --> 00:16:17,406
Half an hour.

113
00:16:17,853 --> 00:16:20,492
-And the beef bourguignon?
-That's ready.

114
00:16:20,573 --> 00:16:23,292
I'll have that and then the salad.

115
00:16:23,693 --> 00:16:26,651
You get two salads, of course.

116
00:16:26,733 --> 00:16:29,850
-Can you put them both on one plate?
-It's possible.

117
00:16:29,933 --> 00:16:31,002
Gorgeous.

118
00:16:34,413 --> 00:16:35,892
Excellent wine.

119
00:16:37,293 --> 00:16:40,012
Maybe he'll want to choose his two desserts.

120
00:16:40,333 --> 00:16:43,848
The apple flan and the Jacques cup
they might go well together.

121
00:16:47,373 --> 00:16:48,806
A small coffee.

122
00:16:52,653 --> 00:16:56,646
Good evening. I had the pleasure
to hear her sing this afternoon.

123
00:16:57,133 --> 00:17:00,125
He's wrong. It's two weeks
that I don't sing.

124
00:17:00,533 --> 00:17:02,410
His audition at Chez Lui.

125
00:17:03,813 --> 00:17:06,964
That wasn't singing
and I wouldn't call it an audition.

126
00:17:07,213 --> 00:17:09,568
-I used to work there.
-My condolences.

127
00:17:09,653 --> 00:17:11,371
I hope I didn't disturb you.

128
00:17:11,453 --> 00:17:13,887
I wanted to tell her that she has a lovely voice...

129
00:17:13,973 --> 00:17:16,407
and that I'm sorry
not being able to offer her dinner.

130
00:17:16,493 --> 00:17:17,562
Thank you.

131
00:17:17,893 --> 00:17:20,965
-Excuse me, monsieur.
-Thank you.

132
00:17:21,053 --> 00:17:23,123
Could I have some cutlery, please?

133
00:17:23,213 --> 00:17:24,362
Excuse me.

134
00:17:24,573 --> 00:17:27,167
Because she's sorry
can't buy me dinner?

135
00:17:27,933 --> 00:17:29,685
-Casse.
-Are you green?

136
00:17:30,613 --> 00:17:34,288
My name is Carroll Todd.
Toddy for friends.

137
00:17:35,093 --> 00:17:36,572
Victoria Grant.

138
00:17:38,453 --> 00:17:42,332
-I hope to see you again in better times.
-Don't you want to sit down? Please.

139
00:17:45,573 --> 00:17:47,006
Have dinner with me.

140
00:17:50,093 --> 00:17:51,128
Thank you.

141
00:17:57,373 --> 00:17:59,045
It's very strange, you know?

142
00:17:59,133 --> 00:18:02,011
I thought about the club
that she was at the end of her strength.

143
00:18:02,093 --> 00:18:03,412
I was. I am.

144
00:18:05,093 --> 00:18:08,210
This is the first decent meal
in four days.

145
00:18:08,333 --> 00:18:09,971
And he can't pay for it.

146
00:18:10,853 --> 00:18:11,842
Cassee.

147
00:18:12,893 --> 00:18:15,202
And she wants you to have dinner with her.

148
00:18:16,013 --> 00:18:19,164
I want him to have the best dinner
I've ever done.

149
00:18:19,373 --> 00:18:20,362
Actually, two.

150
00:18:20,453 --> 00:18:23,809
I started with the roast chicken
and I moved on to beef bourguignon.

151
00:18:23,893 --> 00:18:27,408
-Who knows what I might end up with.
-I would say 30 days in the fridge.

152
00:18:28,333 --> 00:18:32,451
If all goes well,
I will leave here poor but satisfied.

153
00:18:33,973 --> 00:18:36,931
I have a bug in my purse.

154
00:18:37,613 --> 00:18:40,002
At the right time
it will end up in my salad.

155
00:18:40,093 --> 00:18:42,732
-It will never work.
-An insect in the salad?

156
00:18:42,893 --> 00:18:46,727
In such a place, it would be an event
if there wasn't an insect inside.

157
00:18:47,213 --> 00:18:51,092
-And a cockroach?
-Cockroach?

158
00:18:52,853 --> 00:18:54,366
Bigger than his thumb.

159
00:18:54,453 --> 00:18:56,648
-Hate!
-Waiter?

160
00:18:56,973 --> 00:18:59,248
Try the chicken. I recommend it to him.

161
00:19:01,613 --> 00:19:03,922
The beef is a little tough.

162
00:19:04,013 --> 00:19:06,891
Maybe eating like this
his jaws are getting tired.

163
00:19:06,973 --> 00:19:10,170
Speaking of tired jaws,
give yours some rest...

164
00:19:10,253 --> 00:19:12,130
and bring me the wine list.

165
00:19:12,413 --> 00:19:14,529
-They only have this.
-This?

166
00:19:15,733 --> 00:19:18,770
Last time I saw one like that
they killed the horse.

167
00:19:18,853 --> 00:19:20,127
Is there a limit to luck?

168
00:19:20,213 --> 00:19:23,967
In just one evening
a Rockefeller and a Groucho Marx.

169
00:19:24,973 --> 00:19:26,804
It wasn't a real horse,

170
00:19:26,893 --> 00:19:28,884
but a costume
worn by two waiters.

171
00:19:28,973 --> 00:19:32,932
I will think of a suitable answer
while I get her the roast chicken.

172
00:19:33,213 --> 00:19:35,727
Wise is he
who knows when to throw in the towel.

173
00:19:35,813 --> 00:19:39,328
And anyone who gives advice to an idiot is an idiot.

174
00:19:52,173 --> 00:19:55,051
I seasoned it myself
with the last drops of rosé.

175
00:19:55,413 --> 00:19:58,928
-I bet it's delicious.
-I wouldn't bet on it. Try it.

176
00:19:59,933 --> 00:20:02,652
Waiting to digest the beef a bit.

177
00:20:02,733 --> 00:20:04,610
-You shouldn't eat it.
-I want to eat it.

178
00:20:04,693 --> 00:20:06,570
He'll be the first to know.

179
00:20:11,813 --> 00:20:14,452
-I'd better go now.
-I want to give her my support.

180
00:20:14,533 --> 00:20:17,923
Very nice, but it's my cockroach
in my purse...

181
00:20:18,613 --> 00:20:20,569
and I have to put it in my salad.

182
00:20:20,653 --> 00:20:24,726
I'll gladly take it.
You can pass me your purse from under the table.

183
00:20:24,813 --> 00:20:28,886
He hates roaches as much as I do.
What if I succeed and she passes out?

184
00:20:29,253 --> 00:20:32,723
-I might wake up in prison.
-Can't I convince her to leave?

185
00:20:32,813 --> 00:20:34,246
He doesn't have the time.

186
00:20:36,253 --> 00:20:39,086
Now make sure it doesn't slip out.

187
00:20:39,373 --> 00:20:41,841
-Is anyone watching?
-No.

188
00:20:49,973 --> 00:20:52,692
-I don't see it.
-How is the salad?

189
00:20:52,813 --> 00:20:54,485
-Have you tried it?
-No.

190
00:20:54,573 --> 00:20:58,566
-I was about to.
-We would like another bottle of wine.

191
00:21:00,853 --> 00:21:02,525
We would like to try the red.

192
00:21:06,413 --> 00:21:08,608
A cockroach!

193
00:21:08,693 --> 00:21:11,082
-A cockroach?
-In my salad!

194
00:21:11,173 --> 00:21:13,323
-I can't believe it!
-I don't believe it.

195
00:21:13,413 --> 00:21:16,564
-Do you doubt the lady's honesty?
-You doubt my salad.

196
00:21:16,653 --> 00:21:20,805
No. I'm sure it's not his fault
if there is a cockroach in the salad.

197
00:21:20,893 --> 00:21:23,691
-It is not and is not there.
-I demand to see the director.

198
00:21:23,773 --> 00:21:24,762
Tell me.

199
00:21:24,853 --> 00:21:28,482
-The lady found a cockroach.
-I understand.

200
00:21:28,733 --> 00:21:31,884
-What are you going to do?
-I'll apologize.

201
00:21:32,173 --> 00:21:35,609
Ma'am, I'm sorry you found it
a cockroach in the salad.

202
00:21:35,693 --> 00:21:39,288
I assure you that in five years
where I managed the place...

203
00:21:39,373 --> 00:21:43,082
there were only two other cases
where customers complained about...

204
00:21:43,173 --> 00:21:46,290
-having found insects in food.
-See? It's already happened.

205
00:21:46,373 --> 00:21:50,286
It turned out either way
that customers actually...

206
00:21:50,373 --> 00:21:55,049
they had put insects in the food
hoping to blackmail the restaurant...

207
00:21:55,253 --> 00:21:58,006
thus avoiding paying the bill.

208
00:21:58,733 --> 00:22:00,564
You're not implying that...

209
00:22:00,653 --> 00:22:02,848
That the lady
Are you trying to do the same thing?

210
00:22:02,933 --> 00:22:05,845
Of course not.
As restaurant manager...

211
00:22:05,933 --> 00:22:10,165
I hope Madame will accept my apologies
for any inconvenience caused to you.

212
00:22:10,253 --> 00:22:12,562
Thank you. Madame accepts them.

213
00:22:12,653 --> 00:22:16,202
Well, I did my part.

214
00:22:16,693 --> 00:22:19,207
-What do you intend to do?
-I?

215
00:22:19,373 --> 00:22:22,285
-His account is still there.
-My account?

216
00:22:22,413 --> 00:22:24,529
There were no roaches in his salad.

217
00:22:24,613 --> 00:22:27,366
No, I invited this man
to have dinner with me.

218
00:22:27,453 --> 00:22:28,488
I understand.

219
00:22:28,693 --> 00:22:32,083
I must deduce that being the gentleman
his guest...

220
00:22:32,173 --> 00:22:35,529
she thinks she doesn't have to pay
not even for his dinner?

221
00:22:35,613 --> 00:22:39,322
Given the circumstances,
is the only logical conclusion.

222
00:22:39,413 --> 00:22:40,050
Yes.

223
00:22:40,133 --> 00:22:44,649
I'll tell you what I think it is
the only possible conclusion:

224
00:22:46,053 --> 00:22:48,362
or one of you pays...

225
00:23:07,853 --> 00:23:09,172
This way!

226
00:23:10,053 --> 00:23:11,042
What?

227
00:23:12,733 --> 00:23:16,931
I was the first soprano
of the Bath Touring Light Opera Company.

228
00:23:17,013 --> 00:23:20,164
-You're fit to be a soprano.
-Because I have three brothers.

229
00:23:20,253 --> 00:23:23,450
I know what it means.
I grew up with two older sisters.

230
00:23:24,173 --> 00:23:25,765
-Health.
-Thank you.

231
00:23:27,053 --> 00:23:29,123
I think I've caught a cold.

232
00:23:31,853 --> 00:23:34,447
-Do you have any baking soda?
-On the top shelf.

233
00:23:35,653 --> 00:23:37,644
I have terrible heartburn.

234
00:23:40,733 --> 00:23:44,009
-Can I ask you a question?
-Do you want to know if I'm homosexual?

235
00:23:44,093 --> 00:23:47,927
No. I want to know if you're a hypochondriac.

236
00:23:49,613 --> 00:23:51,092
Not necessarily.

237
00:23:57,133 --> 00:23:58,851
My husband was.

238
00:23:59,213 --> 00:24:01,727
On the day of the wedding he got herpes.

239
00:24:01,813 --> 00:24:04,646
The one from the divorce, his ulcer perforated.

240
00:24:07,293 --> 00:24:10,968
-How long have you been homosexual?
-How long have you been a soprano?

241
00:24:11,573 --> 00:24:13,052
From the age of 12.

242
00:24:13,653 --> 00:24:15,484
I blossomed later.

243
00:24:18,533 --> 00:24:21,445
What happened to
Bath Touring Light Opera Company?

244
00:24:23,533 --> 00:24:27,651
I guess you could say Lou Cassava
he cut the rope with the box.

245
00:24:28,573 --> 00:24:29,926
Lou Cassava?

246
00:24:30,293 --> 00:24:33,444
-Our manager. Sam convinced him.
-Sam?

247
00:24:33,733 --> 00:24:35,166
My ex-husband.

248
00:24:37,213 --> 00:24:38,407
Hate.

249
00:24:39,133 --> 00:24:40,202
You know,

250
00:24:41,253 --> 00:24:43,813
you should stay in bed and drink a lot.

251
00:24:44,333 --> 00:24:46,403
Good advice for a camel.

252
00:24:47,173 --> 00:24:49,846
-Can someone look after you?
-It's just a cold.

253
00:24:49,933 --> 00:24:52,845
A cold today
it could be pneumonia tomorrow.

254
00:24:53,253 --> 00:24:56,802
Are you sure your husband was
hypochondriac before you got married?

255
00:24:57,053 --> 00:25:00,602
-You think I'm an alarmist.
-Just by the way you talk.

256
00:25:01,293 --> 00:25:03,443
I have enough experience to know...

257
00:25:03,533 --> 00:25:06,764
than when it comes to health
taking risks doesn't pay.

258
00:25:06,853 --> 00:25:08,332
Then don't worry.

259
00:25:08,413 --> 00:25:11,052
Aside from sax lessons and the subway,

260
00:25:11,133 --> 00:25:13,089
I never pay anything.

261
00:25:17,253 --> 00:25:19,403
-Do you know what I'll do?
-What?

262
00:25:19,893 --> 00:25:24,569
I'll see if my clothes are dry
and I'll try to sneak into my hotel.

263
00:25:25,133 --> 00:25:27,124
What if I wake up with pneumonia?

264
00:25:27,213 --> 00:25:31,047
I'll drop by in the morning
to see how you are.

265
00:25:31,733 --> 00:25:34,088
I might have a relapse
in the middle of the night.

266
00:25:34,173 --> 00:25:36,004
-Impossible.
-Why?

267
00:25:36,093 --> 00:25:39,085
Because half the night
It's been two hours.

268
00:25:50,493 --> 00:25:52,643
Hate!

269
00:25:52,853 --> 00:25:53,729
What?

270
00:25:57,533 --> 00:26:00,127
They guaranteed me
that would not shrink.

271
00:26:00,213 --> 00:26:02,249
My best dress.

272
00:26:02,573 --> 00:26:04,325
-Look.
-We see.

273
00:26:05,973 --> 00:26:07,452
There is no hem to unstitch.

274
00:26:07,533 --> 00:26:10,764
-I can't go out like this.
-And the coat?

275
00:26:19,693 --> 00:26:21,251
What will I do?

276
00:26:22,413 --> 00:26:23,892
You will sell matches.

277
00:26:28,213 --> 00:26:29,487
Poor thing.

278
00:26:35,453 --> 00:26:39,492
I am sorry. It was a very bad day.

279
00:26:40,493 --> 00:26:45,044
Sometimes I would have given my soul
to cry like this.

280
00:26:45,653 --> 00:26:47,371
I hate it.

281
00:26:48,013 --> 00:26:50,402
You wouldn't hate it if you couldn't do it anymore.

282
00:26:50,493 --> 00:26:51,528
Well,

283
00:26:54,213 --> 00:26:57,364
I'll go there tomorrow to get your clothes.

284
00:26:58,493 --> 00:27:01,212
-They won't let you.
-Yes, if I settle your account.

285
00:27:01,293 --> 00:27:02,362
You can't do it.

286
00:27:02,453 --> 00:27:05,684
Why not? It's an emergency.
I saved a few francs.

287
00:27:05,773 --> 00:27:06,683
Here.

288
00:27:07,973 --> 00:27:09,804
-Do you know what they say?
-As?

289
00:27:10,973 --> 00:27:13,441
"Do not borrow, nor lend."

290
00:27:13,893 --> 00:27:17,806
-"Loans are lost together with friends."
-Right.

291
00:27:18,093 --> 00:27:21,210
You wanted to compromise your virtue
for a meatball.

292
00:27:22,493 --> 00:27:26,406
At that moment I was beside myself.
At least it was an exchange.

293
00:27:26,693 --> 00:27:29,730
Right. Let's make a deal.

294
00:27:30,573 --> 00:27:32,564
You will pay me weekly interest...

295
00:27:32,653 --> 00:27:35,247
equal to the price of a meatball.

296
00:27:36,093 --> 00:27:37,162
Damnation.

297
00:27:38,053 --> 00:27:42,205
-Toddy, you are sweet and generous.
-Exhausted.

298
00:27:42,413 --> 00:27:44,290
How will I repay you?

299
00:27:44,533 --> 00:27:48,242
We'll think about it tomorrow.
For now, I give the orders.

300
00:27:48,893 --> 00:27:51,771
Put on your pajamas and come to bed.

301
00:27:51,853 --> 00:27:53,923
-There?
-You can also stay on the sofa,

302
00:27:54,133 --> 00:27:58,012
but I promise you this is much more comfortable
and much safer.

303
00:28:06,173 --> 00:28:07,242
Hate!

304
00:28:08,333 --> 00:28:12,246
There is nothing more unseemly
of an old fagot with a cold.

305
00:28:22,133 --> 00:28:23,646
I won't be long.

306
00:28:29,893 --> 00:28:32,361
I hate being treated
like a helpless invalid.

307
00:28:32,453 --> 00:28:34,762
Do you want to shut up?

308
00:28:35,573 --> 00:28:37,723
I cash the check, pay the hotel...

309
00:28:37,813 --> 00:28:41,488
-and I'll be back in time to prepare lunch.
-I can do it myself.

310
00:28:41,573 --> 00:28:43,291
Not with a fever.

311
00:28:43,973 --> 00:28:46,248
Why are you sure he has a fever?

312
00:28:47,133 --> 00:28:50,728
-Because you're hot.
-I'm a fiery guy.

313
00:28:51,573 --> 00:28:54,690
For being so naturally hot
you should be a Saint Bernard.

314
00:28:54,773 --> 00:28:57,048
These clothes are more flattering on you
than to Richard.

315
00:28:57,133 --> 00:28:59,522
But without it, he's obviously better off.

316
00:28:59,613 --> 00:29:01,490
You are right. You don't have a fever.

317
00:29:01,573 --> 00:29:04,724
You really don't have the temperature. Leave it there.

318
00:29:05,773 --> 00:29:08,048
-Does Richard have a hat?
-In the closet.

319
00:29:13,253 --> 00:29:15,130
-Toddy?
-Richard.

320
00:29:20,173 --> 00:29:22,641
Good morning, Richard. You look like a raccoon.

321
00:29:22,733 --> 00:29:24,212
I came for my things.

322
00:29:24,293 --> 00:29:26,602
I thought you wanted to give me back
what you owe me.

323
00:29:26,693 --> 00:29:30,527
I don't owe you anything,
Pathetic old fagot.

324
00:29:35,373 --> 00:29:36,522
Bastard!

325
00:29:37,373 --> 00:29:38,408
Standing!

326
00:29:39,173 --> 00:29:40,606
And you go back to bed!

327
00:29:41,533 --> 00:29:43,603
-Who did it?
-And...

328
00:29:43,693 --> 00:29:47,845
next time try it with someone
of your size.

329
00:29:49,693 --> 00:29:52,161
-And don't come back!
-Well.

330
00:30:08,573 --> 00:30:09,642
Hate!

331
00:30:09,733 --> 00:30:10,961
What happened?

332
00:30:11,133 --> 00:30:15,604
There was one who wore my clothes.
I think he broke my nose.

333
00:30:15,933 --> 00:30:18,049
Toddy! You're delusional.

334
00:30:18,133 --> 00:30:19,168
-Lower your voice.
-Toddy!

335
00:30:19,253 --> 00:30:20,402
-Lower.
-Toddy.

336
00:30:20,493 --> 00:30:22,802
-Caruso, not Saljapin.
-If you don't go back to bed...

337
00:30:22,893 --> 00:30:25,771
When you're angry
it lowers naturally. Get angry.

338
00:30:25,853 --> 00:30:27,809
-What an inspiration!
-I'll call a doctor!

339
00:30:27,893 --> 00:30:29,531
-Victoria, it will work.
-No.

340
00:30:29,613 --> 00:30:32,491
If you listen to me and do as I say
in six weeks you will be...

341
00:30:32,573 --> 00:30:34,962
the celebrity of Paris
and we will both be rich.

342
00:30:35,053 --> 00:30:36,771
-Of course.
-Very, very rich!

343
00:30:36,853 --> 00:30:38,002
-My God!
-Thinks.

344
00:30:38,093 --> 00:30:41,688
Enough of the Bath Light Opera Company.
Enough with Mikado and sleazy tenors.

345
00:30:41,773 --> 00:30:43,923
-Yes, but...
-Caviar instead of meatballs!

346
00:30:44,013 --> 00:30:46,481
-Where are you going?
-To get the scissors!

347
00:30:46,733 --> 00:30:48,644
People believe what they see.

348
00:30:48,813 --> 00:30:53,091
Today Andrè Cassell will meet
the greatest transvestite in Europe.

349
00:30:53,333 --> 00:30:55,927
Andrè Cassell is the major impresario
of Paris.

350
00:30:56,013 --> 00:30:57,765
If I'm big why doesn't he know me?

351
00:30:57,853 --> 00:31:00,572
You are the best, but you are only known in Poland.

352
00:31:00,653 --> 00:31:03,292
-Poland?
-You are Count Grazinski, a Polish nobleman.

353
00:31:03,373 --> 00:31:04,965
You only speak a little English.

354
00:31:05,053 --> 00:31:07,613
Your parents disinherited you because you are gay.

355
00:31:07,693 --> 00:31:08,250
Wait!

356
00:31:08,333 --> 00:31:10,972
We fell in love in Warsaw
and I took you with me.

357
00:31:11,053 --> 00:31:12,406
-One moment!
-What's wrong?

358
00:31:12,493 --> 00:31:14,370
"What's wrong?" What's wrong?

359
00:31:14,453 --> 00:31:17,365
A she pretends to be a he
pretending to be a she?

360
00:31:17,453 --> 00:31:19,284
-Ridiculous.
-Absurd.

361
00:31:19,373 --> 00:31:21,364
So absurd that no one will believe it.

362
00:31:21,453 --> 00:31:25,082
-Do you expect them to believe that the count...
-Grazinski.

363
00:31:25,173 --> 00:31:29,405
...is a gay, transvestite, Polish.

364
00:31:29,653 --> 00:31:32,326
Honey, they just have to believe
that you are a man.

365
00:31:32,973 --> 00:31:35,282
To convince the public...

366
00:31:35,373 --> 00:31:37,933
the magician creates a plausible diversion.

367
00:31:38,213 --> 00:31:42,411
-Count Grazinski is our diversion.
-But no public is that gullible.

368
00:31:42,493 --> 00:31:44,324
-They'll realize it's fake.
-Right.

369
00:31:44,413 --> 00:31:47,723
-What?
-They will understand that he is fake.

370
00:31:48,773 --> 00:31:51,082
Toddy, I don't know how to act like a man.

371
00:31:51,173 --> 00:31:53,687
Contrary to clichés
on the topic,

372
00:31:53,773 --> 00:31:56,162
not all men
they behave the same way.

373
00:31:56,253 --> 00:31:58,289
That is, differently from women.

374
00:31:58,373 --> 00:32:02,651
I know at least a dozen men
who behave like women...

375
00:32:02,733 --> 00:32:04,086
and vice versa.

376
00:32:04,173 --> 00:32:06,846
But there are typically masculine things.

377
00:32:06,933 --> 00:32:08,161
Name one.

378
00:32:09,133 --> 00:32:10,771
Pee standing up.

379
00:32:11,013 --> 00:32:14,005
No rules say
that men cannot sit.

380
00:32:14,133 --> 00:32:16,442
-Men have Adam's apples.
-Women too.

381
00:32:16,533 --> 00:32:18,410
-Name one.
-Nana Lanoux.

382
00:32:18,533 --> 00:32:19,602
-Who?
-Taxi!

383
00:32:19,693 --> 00:32:22,491
-Who is Nana Lanoux?
-The last one I slept with.

384
00:32:22,573 --> 00:32:23,722
When did it happen?

385
00:32:23,813 --> 00:32:26,885
The evening before deciding
that I would become homosexual.

386
00:32:26,973 --> 00:32:29,441
-Very elegant.
-I can't wear it all the time.

387
00:32:29,533 --> 00:32:31,842
Why not? You could start a trend.

388
00:32:33,053 --> 00:32:36,489
-Was his Adam's apple large?
-Like a coconut.

389
00:32:51,373 --> 00:32:52,567
Good morning.

390
00:32:52,933 --> 00:32:56,050
You could tell Mr. Cassell
what's up Carroll Todd?

391
00:32:56,173 --> 00:32:57,128
Why?

392
00:32:58,373 --> 00:32:59,328
Why?

393
00:32:59,533 --> 00:33:02,093
If you don't have an appointment
with Mr. Cassell...

394
00:33:02,173 --> 00:33:04,323
Why should I tell him she's here?

395
00:33:04,813 --> 00:33:07,407
Because we are good friends.

396
00:33:07,493 --> 00:33:10,246
If he tells him I'm here he'll want to see me.

397
00:33:10,973 --> 00:33:12,770
It's not very complicated, right?

398
00:33:12,853 --> 00:33:16,562
Since he's a good friend, I'm surprised
who doesn't know that every Wednesday...

399
00:33:16,653 --> 00:33:20,965
Mr. Cassell has a barber at this time
and sees no one,

400
00:33:21,253 --> 00:33:23,403
not even his best friends.

401
00:33:23,693 --> 00:33:24,808
We'll wait.

402
00:33:25,213 --> 00:33:28,808
-You're wasting your time.
-No. She's the one who's wasting it.

403
00:33:42,733 --> 00:33:43,927
Mr. Cassell?

404
00:33:44,013 --> 00:33:45,651
No, Miss Selma.

405
00:33:46,333 --> 00:33:49,450
-I mean, I'd like to see Mr. Cassell.
-No.

406
00:33:50,453 --> 00:33:53,604
I'm Leclou,
the best tightrope walker in the world.

407
00:33:54,133 --> 00:33:58,445
On Wednesdays Mr. Cassell sees only
Giannini, the best barber in the world.

408
00:33:59,253 --> 00:34:00,481
Very good.

409
00:34:08,853 --> 00:34:13,483
If Mr. Cassell can't see me
then I will perform...

410
00:34:16,013 --> 00:34:17,128
for her.

411
00:34:27,093 --> 00:34:30,403
What is he doing?
Come down! Do you want to come down, yes or no?

412
00:34:30,653 --> 00:34:33,121
Get off that table!

413
00:34:35,933 --> 00:34:38,003
-Hi, Andrè.
-Toddy? What the heck...

414
00:34:38,093 --> 00:34:41,642
Andrè, it's very important
that you know Count Victor Grazinski.

415
00:34:41,733 --> 00:34:44,611
-Who is Count Victor Grazinski?
-You're joking.

416
00:34:44,733 --> 00:34:47,008
He is the best transvestite in Europe.

417
00:34:47,093 --> 00:34:48,242
Never heard of it.

418
00:34:48,333 --> 00:34:50,528
Modestly, if I don't know me...

419
00:34:50,613 --> 00:34:52,490
it can't be the best in Europe.

420
00:34:52,573 --> 00:34:55,167
-Conte, would you like to prove it to him?
-Certainly.

421
00:35:01,773 --> 00:35:03,047
What the heck?

422
00:35:14,213 --> 00:35:16,329
Conte, with his voice and my contacts...

423
00:35:16,413 --> 00:35:19,371
you will become rich and I will become even richer.

424
00:35:19,453 --> 00:35:21,842
Here's to a long and fruitful collaboration.

425
00:35:27,533 --> 00:35:29,410
When can it start?

426
00:35:29,813 --> 00:35:30,723
Where?

427
00:35:31,533 --> 00:35:33,012
-Here.
-Here?

428
00:35:35,373 --> 00:35:36,442
Here?

429
00:35:36,653 --> 00:35:38,450
-In six weeks.
-Optimal.

430
00:35:42,933 --> 00:35:43,809
Here.

431
00:36:21,173 --> 00:36:23,289
-Try a tone below.
-All right.

432
00:36:26,533 --> 00:36:27,932
No, try a third.

433
00:36:28,013 --> 00:36:29,082
A third?

434
00:36:30,773 --> 00:36:31,728
All right.

435
00:36:35,213 --> 00:36:38,523
Perfect. It's quite low
to seem a bit masculine.

436
00:36:38,693 --> 00:36:43,050
When you dance remember,
broad movements, uses your shoulders a lot.

437
00:36:43,493 --> 00:36:46,053
Remember that you are a transvestite!

438
00:36:59,853 --> 00:37:02,128
-It's fantastic.
-It's fake.

439
00:37:02,213 --> 00:37:05,330
-What do you mean?
-If it's a Polish count, I'm Garbo.

440
00:37:05,413 --> 00:37:08,928
Well, Greta, whatever it is,
I think it's divine.

441
00:37:23,253 --> 00:37:26,086
-I'll never make it!
-Listen to me.

442
00:37:26,413 --> 00:37:29,166
From the beginning
there were two main obstacles.

443
00:37:29,253 --> 00:37:29,924
My breasts.

444
00:37:30,013 --> 00:37:31,605
Convince everyone that you are a man.

445
00:37:31,693 --> 00:37:34,287
-We did it.
-It was very uncomfortable.

446
00:37:34,373 --> 00:37:36,443
-What?
-Bandage my breasts.

447
00:37:36,533 --> 00:37:39,923
You just have to go out there
and show what a great artist you are...

448
00:37:40,013 --> 00:37:42,686
and for the next twenty years you will be a star.

449
00:37:42,773 --> 00:37:45,606
If I have to bind my breasts
for the next twenty years...

450
00:37:45,693 --> 00:37:48,366
it will end up looking like an empty bag.

451
00:37:48,653 --> 00:37:50,086
-Cheer up.
-And then?

452
00:37:50,173 --> 00:37:53,802
-Get up.
-Pull up, get up and vomit.

453
00:37:53,893 --> 00:37:56,088
You won't feel bad.

454
00:37:56,373 --> 00:37:57,852
Not if I pass out first.

455
00:38:00,653 --> 00:38:02,052
We had a full house.

456
00:38:02,133 --> 00:38:04,727
I sent 300 invitations and they all came,

457
00:38:04,813 --> 00:38:07,611
-except King Marchand.
-Who is King Marchand?

458
00:38:07,693 --> 00:38:09,251
Among other things,

459
00:38:09,333 --> 00:38:11,483
the biggest club owner
of Chicago.

460
00:38:11,573 --> 00:38:12,562
And the other things?

461
00:38:12,653 --> 00:38:14,848
It's not worth talking about if you want to stay alive.

462
00:39:09,533 --> 00:39:10,648
Ladies and gentlemen!

463
00:39:10,733 --> 00:39:14,282
We are proud to present
the one and only Victoria!

464
00:42:05,853 --> 00:42:07,332
She's fabulous.

465
00:43:11,253 --> 00:43:12,766
Good!

466
00:43:16,813 --> 00:43:18,326
Bravo!

467
00:43:18,453 --> 00:43:19,568
Good!

468
00:44:01,013 --> 00:44:02,128
Now look.

469
00:44:13,293 --> 00:44:14,726
He's a man.

470
00:45:08,293 --> 00:45:11,524
Excuse me. Come on, darling.

471
00:45:15,733 --> 00:45:19,009
I'm hoping six or eight weeks.

472
00:45:21,653 --> 00:45:24,121
-Greetings.
-Greetings.

473
00:45:25,213 --> 00:45:26,771
I'm Norma Cassady.

474
00:45:27,493 --> 00:45:30,565
-It was fantastic.
-Thank you.

475
00:45:31,213 --> 00:45:33,363
And this is King Marchand.

476
00:45:33,453 --> 00:45:34,886
-Pleasure.
-Pleasure.

477
00:45:34,973 --> 00:45:38,045
I have to admit that at first
I was really annoyed.

478
00:45:38,133 --> 00:45:40,124
King drooled over her.

479
00:45:41,053 --> 00:45:45,171
When he took off his wig
I couldn't believe it.

480
00:45:45,893 --> 00:45:47,963
-King still doesn't believe it.
-I'm flattered.

481
00:45:48,053 --> 00:45:50,169
I'm glad he came,
Mr. Marchand.

482
00:45:50,253 --> 00:45:52,721
-Thank you.
-May I introduce you to Mr. Todd?

483
00:45:53,133 --> 00:45:54,646
-Pleasure.
-My pleasure.

484
00:45:54,733 --> 00:45:56,246
Miss Cassady.

485
00:45:56,733 --> 00:45:59,167
-Mademoiselle.
-Enchanted.

486
00:46:01,013 --> 00:46:02,207
Me too.

487
00:46:02,733 --> 00:46:06,169
-Well, what do you think of our new star?
-He thinks it's fake.

488
00:46:06,253 --> 00:46:07,732
-She is very talented.
-What?

489
00:46:07,813 --> 00:46:10,566
-He doesn't believe you are a man.
-I'll tell you what I think.

490
00:46:10,653 --> 00:46:12,484
-"The." See?
-Norma.

491
00:46:13,053 --> 00:46:14,566
-What?
-Take a walk.

492
00:46:15,693 --> 00:46:16,648
Certain.

493
00:46:18,693 --> 00:46:21,844
Do you want to go for a ride with me?

494
00:46:22,133 --> 00:46:24,727
Miss Cassady,
apart from Victor's performance,

495
00:46:24,813 --> 00:46:28,010
take a ride with her
it could be the highlight of the evening.

496
00:46:28,933 --> 00:46:32,164
-I love French men.
-Me too.

497
00:46:33,373 --> 00:46:35,648
-I'll get you something to drink.
-Thank you.

498
00:46:44,493 --> 00:46:46,563
You were telling me, Mr. Marchand?

499
00:46:46,773 --> 00:46:50,652
I find it hard to believe
that she is a man.

500
00:46:51,573 --> 00:46:53,962
Why do you find me attractive as a woman?

501
00:46:54,613 --> 00:46:56,285
Yes, indeed.

502
00:46:57,933 --> 00:47:00,128
-It happens often.
-Not me.

503
00:47:01,773 --> 00:47:04,731
This proves the old saying:
"There's always a first time."

504
00:47:04,813 --> 00:47:06,132
I do not believe.

505
00:47:06,773 --> 00:47:09,651
-But he's not 100 percent sure.
-Practically.

506
00:47:10,733 --> 00:47:14,123
For a man like her,
who believes he could never,

507
00:47:14,213 --> 00:47:17,364
under no circumstances find a man attractive,

508
00:47:18,133 --> 00:47:21,284
the distance between "practically"
and "certainly" must be...

509
00:47:21,893 --> 00:47:23,531
equal to the Grand Canyon.

510
00:47:23,613 --> 00:47:25,843
If I were a man, I would punch her.

511
00:47:26,773 --> 00:47:30,083
-To prove he's a man.
-This is a woman's answer.

512
00:47:31,053 --> 00:47:35,171
His problem
it's that he lets himself be influenced by stereotypes.

513
00:47:35,653 --> 00:47:38,406
I think it's very simple:
she's a kind of man,

514
00:47:39,133 --> 00:47:41,727
-I another.
-And what type is he?

515
00:47:41,813 --> 00:47:46,250
One who doesn't need to prove it
neither to himself nor to others.

516
00:47:47,453 --> 00:47:48,488
Excuse me.

517
00:47:53,053 --> 00:47:54,202
Cheers.

518
00:47:57,653 --> 00:47:59,132
He's joking.

519
00:48:00,813 --> 00:48:03,281
Is she really a faggot?

520
00:48:04,373 --> 00:48:06,125
We prefer the word "gay".

521
00:48:08,173 --> 00:48:11,085
But he's so attractive.

522
00:48:12,013 --> 00:48:14,686
It seems like such a waste to me.

523
00:48:16,893 --> 00:48:18,963
-Do you know what I think?
-What?

524
00:48:19,053 --> 00:48:23,205
I think the right woman
could correct it.

525
00:48:23,373 --> 00:48:26,445
I think the right woman
you could correct it too.

526
00:48:28,133 --> 00:48:30,328
Should I forget about men? Impossible!

527
00:48:30,413 --> 00:48:32,722
It just took the words out of my mouth.

528
00:48:33,053 --> 00:48:33,963
Norm?

529
00:48:36,173 --> 00:48:38,812
I still think it's a waste.

530
00:48:38,893 --> 00:48:42,408
If it can console you,
I assure you it is not wasted.

531
00:48:44,253 --> 00:48:45,163
Norm?

532
00:48:52,013 --> 00:48:53,082
Au revoir.

533
00:48:53,693 --> 00:48:54,682
Me too.

534
00:48:56,373 --> 00:48:58,682
Come on, get out of the way. Force.

535
00:49:01,893 --> 00:49:03,451
We will see each other.

536
00:49:11,293 --> 00:49:15,127
-Don't leave me alone anymore.
-What do you think of King Marchand?

537
00:49:15,213 --> 00:49:19,650
He is arrogant, presumptuous,
pain-in-the-ass chauvinist.

538
00:49:19,733 --> 00:49:22,611
-I think I might fall in love with it.
-Me too.

539
00:49:22,893 --> 00:49:25,043
I'm telling you he's gay.

540
00:49:25,653 --> 00:49:28,804
I know everything. We talked about it for a long time.

541
00:49:29,053 --> 00:49:32,363
They met in Poland
and took it to Paris.

542
00:49:32,533 --> 00:49:34,728
It's making a big star out of him.

543
00:49:35,333 --> 00:49:36,607
They are lovers.

544
00:49:36,813 --> 00:49:39,202
I know why you don't want to believe it.

545
00:49:40,333 --> 00:49:41,561
ARTISTS ENTRANCE

546
00:49:42,133 --> 00:49:43,646
Can I take you to the hotel?

547
00:49:43,733 --> 00:49:46,645
-That's very kind of you, but...
-We would be happy.

548
00:49:47,133 --> 00:49:48,486
-Hotel?
-Why not?

549
00:49:56,533 --> 00:49:58,683
I heard you, Norma, I heard you.

550
00:49:58,773 --> 00:50:01,207
I don't understand why you're so angry.

551
00:50:01,293 --> 00:50:04,251
Thank you.
I mean that's an understandable mistake.

552
00:50:04,333 --> 00:50:08,167
-Shut up, Norma.
-But Squash thought it was a woman.

553
00:50:08,453 --> 00:50:11,047
If you think about it, it's really funny.

554
00:50:11,733 --> 00:50:13,405
It's certainly not bad,

555
00:50:13,493 --> 00:50:17,532
but I immediately understood that it was a man.
It's the padding.

556
00:50:18,573 --> 00:50:21,610
It doesn't matter how well made they are
those costumes.

557
00:50:21,733 --> 00:50:24,486
There are things that cannot be simulated.

558
00:50:24,893 --> 00:50:27,453
Even with hormone injections...

559
00:50:27,533 --> 00:50:30,127
and everything else, a real woman understands.

560
00:50:31,373 --> 00:50:34,410
Can you imagine what Sal Andratti would say...

561
00:50:34,493 --> 00:50:37,883
if he knew that his partner
did he fall in love with a transvestite?

562
00:50:40,373 --> 00:50:42,489
-Have you checked under the beds?
-Yes.

563
00:50:44,013 --> 00:50:47,210
I know he's supposed to protect you,

564
00:50:47,453 --> 00:50:50,570
but he really has to sleep
in our suite?

565
00:50:52,373 --> 00:50:55,968
I always wait
who bursts into the room while...

566
00:50:56,373 --> 00:50:57,567
let's make love.

567
00:50:57,653 --> 00:51:00,042
He would just do it
if you feel something strange,

568
00:51:00,133 --> 00:51:01,930
like if I got excited.

569
00:51:02,693 --> 00:51:05,161
Why don't you go to...

570
00:51:06,093 --> 00:51:07,970
Listen to me, you idiot!

571
00:51:08,333 --> 00:51:10,927
Mind your own business!

572
00:51:15,493 --> 00:51:17,449
-Good evening, sir.
-Good evening.

573
00:51:19,053 --> 00:51:20,327
Thank you, André.

574
00:51:20,613 --> 00:51:23,491
-Hi, Toddy.
-Have a good sleep, Victor.

575
00:51:24,893 --> 00:51:27,123
Toddy, this is the Monceau.
Where are you going?

576
00:51:27,213 --> 00:51:28,282
In the room.

577
00:51:31,773 --> 00:51:32,922
Entry

578
00:51:35,533 --> 00:51:38,889
-Stop right there.
-Toddy, what do you have in mind?

579
00:51:48,493 --> 00:51:50,370
Good heavens!

580
00:51:54,093 --> 00:51:57,165
-When did we move?
-During the dress rehearsal.

581
00:51:59,173 --> 00:52:00,845
What if I had failed?

582
00:52:00,933 --> 00:52:04,369
We would have ordered a sumptuous dinner,
with room service...

583
00:52:04,453 --> 00:52:07,286
and drank champagne
offered by the management.

584
00:52:07,373 --> 00:52:09,170
Then we would jump out the window.

585
00:52:09,253 --> 00:52:13,007
This is why I chose a three-star hotel
and I requested...

586
00:52:13,093 --> 00:52:15,049
an apartment above the third floor.

587
00:52:15,133 --> 00:52:17,010
-Toddy.
-Monsieur.

588
00:52:18,653 --> 00:52:22,282
- Bathing is a mystical experience.
-I can't wait.

589
00:52:25,173 --> 00:52:27,084
When will we be able to afford two rooms?

590
00:52:27,173 --> 00:52:29,562
When we are sure
that you are not a meteor.

591
00:52:29,653 --> 00:52:30,972
Hate!

592
00:52:31,053 --> 00:52:35,649
Also, a room and a bed
they foster the illusion that we are lovers.

593
00:52:36,733 --> 00:52:39,611
If for some reason
we decided to sleep separately,

594
00:52:39,693 --> 00:52:41,684
there is enough space in the tub.

595
00:52:41,773 --> 00:52:46,528
And if we had a guest,
can sit in the bidet.

596
00:52:46,933 --> 00:52:47,843
Right.

597
00:52:50,893 --> 00:52:53,965
-I love you.
-Me too, sir.

598
00:53:14,173 --> 00:53:16,209
Aren't you coming to bed?

599
00:53:19,533 --> 00:53:21,763
King.

600
00:54:10,293 --> 00:54:12,011
I feel like it.

601
00:54:21,933 --> 00:54:23,605
All right.

602
00:54:48,813 --> 00:54:52,010
-A music lover.
-I challenge you to sing a high C.

603
00:54:52,253 --> 00:54:53,971
Only if you sing too.

604
00:54:54,293 --> 00:54:57,251
If I could, I would be the star
and you would still be looking...

605
00:54:57,333 --> 00:54:59,847
to exchange your virtue for a meatball.

606
00:55:02,493 --> 00:55:04,688
Speaking of virtues,

607
00:55:05,693 --> 00:55:08,127
Were you serious about King Marchand?

608
00:55:09,573 --> 00:55:10,562
And you?

609
00:55:11,733 --> 00:55:15,043
-I asked first.
-This is a child's cop-out.

610
00:55:17,133 --> 00:55:20,808
All right. I find him very attractive.

611
00:55:21,213 --> 00:55:22,441
I agree.

612
00:55:23,893 --> 00:55:26,646
I wouldn't mind
have a relationship with him.

613
00:55:26,973 --> 00:55:28,167
Not me either.

614
00:55:35,213 --> 00:55:38,728
Pretend to be a man...

615
00:55:39,853 --> 00:55:41,605
It has its drawbacks.

616
00:55:42,893 --> 00:55:44,212
My dear count,

617
00:55:45,893 --> 00:55:48,726
you just told the sacrosanct truth.

618
00:55:55,693 --> 00:55:56,921
Darling.

619
00:56:06,413 --> 00:56:08,563
It's not serious.

620
00:56:17,933 --> 00:56:21,608
It happens to everyone. To men, that is.

621
00:56:23,133 --> 00:56:24,612
We are lucky.

622
00:56:25,373 --> 00:56:28,968
Us women, that is.
We can pretend if we have to.

623
00:56:33,013 --> 00:56:35,163
Don't get me wrong.

624
00:56:36,333 --> 00:56:38,369
I've never done it with you.

625
00:56:39,733 --> 00:56:41,451
I mean, pretend.

626
00:56:43,973 --> 00:56:46,328
With you it's...

627
00:56:49,533 --> 00:56:52,093
Like a firework! Always.

628
00:56:54,413 --> 00:56:56,973
Except tonight, because you didn't have it,

629
00:56:57,293 --> 00:57:01,684
so far it's been really great.

630
00:57:04,573 --> 00:57:07,804
And I know for sure...

631
00:57:08,253 --> 00:57:11,962
that this thing shouldn't,
sorry for the expression, "go limp".

632
00:57:12,853 --> 00:57:15,970
You can't think about it. You have to forget her.

633
00:57:16,053 --> 00:57:18,726
The more you think about it, the more you worry.

634
00:57:18,813 --> 00:57:23,045
The more you worry, the more you think about it.
You think and worry.

635
00:57:23,133 --> 00:57:24,566
Good.

636
00:57:24,853 --> 00:57:28,209
You worry, you think.
You enter a vicious circle.

637
00:57:30,133 --> 00:57:34,729
In less than no time,
you become "impudent".

638
00:57:37,213 --> 00:57:38,692
What's wrong with that soap?

639
00:57:45,853 --> 00:57:48,447
-Careful.
-Son of a bitch!

640
00:57:49,893 --> 00:57:51,121
Calm down, Norma.

641
00:57:52,053 --> 00:57:56,524
Nobody puts soap in my mouth!
Not even my mother!

642
00:57:57,413 --> 00:57:58,641
It's very childish.

643
00:57:58,733 --> 00:58:01,452
I'll kill him! And I'll kill you too!

644
00:58:02,133 --> 00:58:06,411
-Muscle mass!
-You have to learn to control yourself.

645
00:58:07,493 --> 00:58:10,405
-Hate!
-Shit!

646
00:58:11,613 --> 00:58:13,490
Enough now. Fast!

647
00:58:18,893 --> 00:58:22,806
You and your stupid ideas!
"Why don't you take her with you to Paris?"

648
00:58:23,053 --> 00:58:25,203
I thought it helped her relax.

649
00:58:25,373 --> 00:58:28,843
-It never helped me relax.
-Then send it home.

650
00:58:29,013 --> 00:58:31,447
Because it never occurs to you
a good idea?

651
00:58:31,533 --> 00:58:34,127
-For example?
-Send it to your home!

652
00:58:34,733 --> 00:58:37,088
He thinks he can boss me around.

653
00:58:37,613 --> 00:58:41,652
He thinks I'll get on the next ship
for the United States and it will be over here.

654
00:58:41,773 --> 00:58:44,571
You still have to see some good ones,

655
00:58:44,653 --> 00:58:47,770
Mister big faggot Marchand.

656
00:58:48,653 --> 00:58:51,372
Because Mrs. Cassady,
little Norma,

657
00:58:51,453 --> 00:58:54,251
he won't let himself get pushed around.

658
00:59:14,733 --> 00:59:16,405
And don't get your hopes up!

659
00:59:17,773 --> 00:59:20,162
You haven't seen everything yet!

660
00:59:22,853 --> 00:59:24,081
Everything OK?

661
01:04:26,978 --> 01:04:30,448
-What an incredible time!
-I thought we left from Chicago.

662
01:04:30,738 --> 01:04:33,127
Can you give it to Count Grazinski, please?

663
01:04:33,218 --> 01:04:34,446
Of course, sir.

664
01:04:35,218 --> 01:04:37,732
-Count Grazinski.
-Yes, sir, room 432.

665
01:04:37,818 --> 01:04:38,773
Exact.

666
01:04:54,498 --> 01:04:55,931
Hi, Norma.

667
01:04:59,098 --> 01:05:02,329
-Very funny. Goodnight, Squash.
-Goodnight, boss.

668
01:05:14,178 --> 01:05:16,294
Get me the housekeeper, please.

669
01:05:19,938 --> 01:05:23,692
-I thought you were going to bed.
-I think I'm having an anxiety attack.

670
01:05:24,098 --> 01:05:26,293
You'd better sleep.

671
01:05:26,378 --> 01:05:29,336
I might feel like it tomorrow morning
to play golf.

672
01:05:30,138 --> 01:05:31,856
But, boss, it's snowing outside.

673
01:05:33,698 --> 01:05:35,416
We will use red balls.

674
01:05:41,538 --> 01:05:44,006
Yes, Mr. speaks...

675
01:05:45,138 --> 01:05:46,287
King Marchand.

676
01:05:47,818 --> 01:05:50,537
Mr. Todd, suite 432.

677
01:05:50,818 --> 01:05:54,493
Could you bring me some towels,
please?

678
01:05:54,578 --> 01:05:56,614
-Of course, sir.
-A thousand thanks.

679
01:06:56,338 --> 01:06:57,532
Gentleman?

680
01:08:08,578 --> 01:08:09,488
Good evening.

681
01:08:09,578 --> 01:08:12,775
Good evening, Mr. Todd. Good evening, Count.

682
01:08:13,018 --> 01:08:13,973
Thank you.

683
01:08:44,658 --> 01:08:47,809
The doorman gave me this,
but nothing is written there.

684
01:08:48,578 --> 01:08:52,969
Don't forget that tomorrow morning
you have an important photo session.

685
01:08:55,058 --> 01:08:57,652
-What's funny?
-Look at the bird.

686
01:09:06,898 --> 01:09:10,732
-I have never been so tired.
-You're still young.

687
01:09:11,298 --> 01:09:12,856
But not for long.

688
01:09:15,018 --> 01:09:19,136
-I just want a nice hot bath.
-I did it once. You will like it a lot.

689
01:09:25,058 --> 01:09:27,618
-Toddy!
-Excuse me!

690
01:09:47,618 --> 01:09:51,930
It's ridiculous.
I'm so tired I can't sleep.

691
01:09:52,098 --> 01:09:54,658
-I'll get you a cognac.
-Will it help me sleep?

692
01:09:55,298 --> 01:09:58,495
No, but stay awake
it will be more fun.

693
01:11:37,098 --> 01:11:37,769
Here.

694
01:11:37,858 --> 01:11:40,372
It will cheer you up and warm up your attributes.

695
01:11:40,458 --> 01:11:42,813
The problem is that I don't have them.

696
01:11:42,898 --> 01:11:45,651
-Are you hungry?
-No, thanks, dear. I'm too tired.

697
01:13:27,778 --> 01:13:30,417
What? Who is?

698
01:13:31,338 --> 01:13:33,727
-I could sleep for a week.
-What?

699
01:13:34,418 --> 01:13:36,978
I do not understand. What?

700
01:13:38,498 --> 01:13:40,056
What room did you want?

701
01:13:40,698 --> 01:13:41,687
Who?

702
01:13:42,818 --> 01:13:45,776
No, I am not Senor Gomez of Barcelona.

703
01:13:46,178 --> 01:13:49,648
Unless it's hidden under the bed,
he got the wrong room.

704
01:13:53,378 --> 01:13:54,970
What the heck?

705
01:14:00,418 --> 01:14:02,329
Why did you open the window?

706
01:14:02,898 --> 01:14:04,650
Let it go. Sleep.

707
01:14:06,858 --> 01:14:08,735
-It's freezing!
-No wonder.

708
01:14:12,578 --> 01:14:13,806
Damnation.

709
01:14:15,378 --> 01:14:17,573
I left the light over there on.

710
01:14:23,138 --> 01:14:25,094
You got the whole floor wet.

711
01:14:26,458 --> 01:14:28,494
You're always complaining.

712
01:14:46,418 --> 01:14:48,693
-Does the heating work in your house?
-Yes.

713
01:14:49,138 --> 01:14:50,617
He's really lucky!

714
01:17:58,018 --> 01:18:02,375
Hello, Sal. Thanks for coming.

715
01:18:02,738 --> 01:18:05,730
Norma, what's the problem?

716
01:18:07,378 --> 01:18:11,212
-It's King.
-Is he having fun with another babe?

717
01:18:11,298 --> 01:18:13,016
No, another man.

718
01:18:14,218 --> 01:18:16,448
It's terrible.

719
01:18:18,938 --> 01:18:21,054
Repeat what you said.

720
01:18:21,218 --> 01:18:23,971
This is a Polish fennel.

721
01:18:39,138 --> 01:18:42,016
Even when I was a lousy soprano
I had a maid.

722
01:18:42,098 --> 01:18:44,658
That he would have sworn
that you were a poor soprano...

723
01:18:44,738 --> 01:18:47,650
-and not a first-class impostor.
-You trust the tailor.

724
01:18:47,738 --> 01:18:49,933
He trusts me not to reveal things...

725
01:18:50,018 --> 01:18:52,816
which would embarrass his wife
and his six children.

726
01:18:52,898 --> 01:18:54,809
You should be ashamed.

727
01:18:54,898 --> 01:18:57,856
Shame is a sad emotion
invented by bigots...

728
01:18:57,938 --> 01:19:00,247
to exploit the human race.

729
01:19:00,658 --> 01:19:02,888
-Who said this?
-I said it.

730
01:19:03,018 --> 01:19:06,010
-You don't believe in shame?
-I believe in happiness.

731
01:19:06,898 --> 01:19:07,967
I'm André.

732
01:19:12,138 --> 01:19:16,097
King Marchand offered me a fortune
for you to perform in his club.

733
01:19:16,178 --> 01:19:18,373
Could you specify the amount, please?

734
01:19:18,458 --> 01:19:21,530
-Ten thousand dollars a week.
- A real fortune.

735
01:19:21,938 --> 01:19:24,247
He wants to have dinner with you after the show.

736
01:19:24,338 --> 01:19:27,011
-Do you think you can do it?
-I think so.

737
01:19:27,258 --> 01:19:31,456
I'll tell him. Ten thousand a week,
ten weeks guaranteed. Let's go fast.

738
01:19:41,378 --> 01:19:43,334
I know what you're thinking.

739
01:19:44,898 --> 01:19:47,492
And you should be ashamed.

740
01:20:02,738 --> 01:20:05,047
At the Count's premiere in Chicago.

741
01:20:05,218 --> 01:20:07,493
To the last evening, may it never arrive.

742
01:20:10,338 --> 01:20:13,375
Do you mind if I do them
a personal question?

743
01:20:13,458 --> 01:20:15,449
He'll do it anyway.

744
01:20:15,538 --> 01:20:17,813
I fear the answers more than the questions.

745
01:20:17,898 --> 01:20:21,254
It is obvious that Mr. Bernstein
has the task of ensuring...

746
01:20:21,338 --> 01:20:22,976
his safety.

747
01:20:23,458 --> 01:20:25,130
This is not a question.

748
01:20:25,658 --> 01:20:27,649
Why is he sitting over there?

749
01:20:27,858 --> 01:20:29,257
Strategic reasons.

750
01:20:30,498 --> 01:20:32,807
Wider vision, clearer line of sight.

751
01:20:32,898 --> 01:20:35,935
-Surely you were in the army.
-A couple of times.

752
01:20:36,018 --> 01:20:38,248
Do you mind if I go to him?
He seems so lonely.

753
01:20:38,338 --> 01:20:41,648
-At all.
-I will not interfere with the line of fire.

754
01:20:42,978 --> 01:20:44,206
Incorrigible.

755
01:20:46,498 --> 01:20:48,568
How long have you known Mr. Todd?

756
01:20:49,538 --> 01:20:51,096
For a long time.

757
01:20:52,218 --> 01:20:54,288
Can I ask you a personal question?

758
01:20:54,898 --> 01:20:56,411
A wise man once said:

759
01:20:56,498 --> 01:20:59,137
"It's not the questions that worry me."

760
01:21:00,618 --> 01:21:02,336
What is it about him that attracts you?

761
01:21:04,698 --> 01:21:07,337
She would believe me if I told her
that we are in love?

762
01:21:07,418 --> 01:21:08,248
No.

763
01:21:08,498 --> 01:21:11,456
Because homosexuality is unnatural
and is it a shame?

764
01:21:13,018 --> 01:21:14,167
According to whom?

765
01:21:15,098 --> 01:21:19,057
Pious churchmen
and terrified heterosexuals.

766
01:21:19,138 --> 01:21:20,412
Ah, those.

767
01:21:21,698 --> 01:21:24,132
She smiles, but I don't believe her.

768
01:21:24,578 --> 01:21:26,773
She doesn't smile, but she should.

769
01:21:26,858 --> 01:21:29,372
I'm going to wash my hands. Excuse me.

770
01:21:32,738 --> 01:21:36,253
Does it ever feel
to be a sinking ship?

771
01:21:38,058 --> 01:21:40,697
-Always.
-There, now he's smiling.

772
01:21:41,298 --> 01:21:43,129
When he smiles he lights up.

773
01:21:43,218 --> 01:21:44,776
That's a strange thing to say.

774
01:21:44,858 --> 01:21:47,452
-In what sense?
-Among men.

775
01:21:51,538 --> 01:21:54,928
Toddy and Mr. Bernstein
they found something in common.

776
01:21:56,938 --> 01:22:01,773
Cassell told me that Mr. Todd
was the main attraction at Chez Lui.

777
01:22:01,898 --> 01:22:03,172
Do you know Chez Lui?

778
01:22:03,258 --> 01:22:06,489
No, but I thought about that later
we could drop by...

779
01:22:06,578 --> 01:22:08,330
and she could instruct me.

780
01:22:08,898 --> 01:22:10,854
I have a feeling that instructing her...

781
01:22:10,938 --> 01:22:14,772
it would be as useless as teaching a lion
to appreciate red meat.

782
01:22:16,618 --> 01:22:17,687
A cigar?

783
01:22:31,378 --> 01:22:32,572
I can?

784
01:22:33,498 --> 01:22:34,453
Please.

785
01:22:53,058 --> 01:22:54,093
Thank you.

786
01:23:41,058 --> 01:23:45,290
-Look, it's Victor.
-Toddy, what a pleasure!

787
01:23:45,378 --> 01:23:47,972
-This way, please.
-Look, it's Victor.

788
01:23:48,738 --> 01:23:52,697
I have a table for you. The best.
It's a real pleasure.

789
01:23:55,458 --> 01:23:56,971
It's Victor!

790
01:24:15,378 --> 01:24:17,687
A bottle of champagne, please.

791
01:24:18,418 --> 01:24:19,294
Thank you.

792
01:24:19,378 --> 01:24:22,814
Take this to the table over there.
They are special guests.

793
01:24:54,818 --> 01:24:57,412
Friends!

794
01:24:57,738 --> 01:25:00,810
Tonight I have the joy and honor of having here...

795
01:25:00,898 --> 01:25:03,696
one of the greatest showmen
of our times.

796
01:25:03,778 --> 01:25:06,531
Paris celebrity, Victor!

797
01:25:17,018 --> 01:25:19,213
Maybe Victor...

798
01:25:19,418 --> 01:25:22,137
he will do us the honor of singing something.

799
01:25:36,018 --> 01:25:38,168
Give us a C with your left hand, Sid.

800
01:26:13,218 --> 01:26:15,129
I've wanted to do this my whole life.

801
01:26:40,298 --> 01:26:41,777
-Harmony to me.
-OK.

802
01:26:51,778 --> 01:26:53,814
This way.

803
01:26:56,378 --> 01:26:59,529
-I taught him everything.
-That's why he has so little left.

804
01:26:59,618 --> 01:27:01,449
I'll make you pay for this.

805
01:27:07,978 --> 01:27:09,650
A very difficult step.

806
01:27:09,858 --> 01:27:11,769
How many stories.

807
01:27:17,258 --> 01:27:20,170
-This way, please.
-Excuse me.

808
01:27:24,058 --> 01:27:28,131
-Fun. And what do we do now?
-It's your fault. Think about it.

809
01:27:31,858 --> 01:27:33,689
-I can?
-I would be flattered.

810
01:27:38,578 --> 01:27:40,728
-You're driving again.
-Excuse me.

811
01:27:50,258 --> 01:27:52,533
-Why did we come here?
-It's the most "in" place.

812
01:27:52,618 --> 01:27:55,291
Joe, don't argue with me. That's how it is.

813
01:27:55,658 --> 01:27:57,296
-Silence!
-Waiter!

814
01:27:58,258 --> 01:28:00,169
What should we do? Stand?

815
01:28:00,258 --> 01:28:02,977
-Haven't you booked?
-Of course I booked.

816
01:28:03,058 --> 01:28:05,049
-Let us sit down!
-Please, it's Victor!

817
01:28:05,138 --> 01:28:08,653
-I don't care who the hell he is!
-Silence!

818
01:28:09,858 --> 01:28:10,813
This way.

819
01:28:14,698 --> 01:28:15,892
Hate!

820
01:28:16,458 --> 01:28:19,097
Damn bastard!

821
01:28:20,098 --> 01:28:21,656
Stay away from me!

822
01:28:28,258 --> 01:28:30,897
No! Please!

823
01:28:38,978 --> 01:28:39,933
You!

824
01:28:40,938 --> 01:28:44,248
Gentlemen! This is a respectable venue!

825
01:28:46,898 --> 01:28:47,933
Please!

826
01:29:01,058 --> 01:29:03,492
-I am very sorry!
-Me too!

827
01:29:12,578 --> 01:29:13,897
Enough, please!

828
01:29:23,418 --> 01:29:25,170
The cockroach!

829
01:30:03,698 --> 01:30:06,053
Stop! Stop!

830
01:30:23,938 --> 01:30:25,769
I don't care if you're a man.

831
01:30:32,258 --> 01:30:34,613
I'm not a man.

832
01:30:36,978 --> 01:30:38,616
I don't care myself.

833
01:30:57,538 --> 01:31:02,168
-The cockroach!
-I've never seen her before.

834
01:31:04,738 --> 01:31:05,807
Mr. Labisse!

835
01:31:38,098 --> 01:31:40,248
Hate! I am sorry! I thought...

836
01:31:44,018 --> 01:31:45,417
I'm very sorry.

837
01:31:46,978 --> 01:31:49,651
I am sincerely sorry.

838
01:31:56,298 --> 01:31:58,812
Squash.

839
01:32:00,098 --> 01:32:02,896
Hey, Squash. I know what you're thinking.

840
01:32:03,778 --> 01:32:04,972
No, he doesn't know.

841
01:32:06,578 --> 01:32:09,172
Suddenly she changed my whole life.

842
01:32:09,418 --> 01:32:11,534
Not the kind of shot you think of.

843
01:32:12,858 --> 01:32:14,086
Listen, boss,

844
01:32:15,578 --> 01:32:18,888
if someone like you has the courage
to admit that he is gay...

845
01:32:22,098 --> 01:32:23,577
I can do it too.

846
01:32:28,978 --> 01:32:30,616
It made me so happy.

847
01:32:46,258 --> 01:32:47,452
You know, I...

848
01:33:01,698 --> 01:33:03,768
-What's wrong?
-Nothing.

849
01:33:05,498 --> 01:33:08,729
This trip to Paris is proving to be a revelation
a little more...

850
01:33:09,898 --> 01:33:11,490
strange than expected.

851
01:33:13,978 --> 01:33:15,127
A thousand thanks.

852
01:33:17,338 --> 01:33:21,092
-I didn't mean you.
-Why not?

853
01:33:21,178 --> 01:33:24,215
A woman pretending to be a man
who pretends to...

854
01:33:24,298 --> 01:33:26,766
-You can stop pretending.
-To do what?

855
01:33:26,858 --> 01:33:28,211
Be yourself.

856
01:33:28,658 --> 01:33:29,932
Meaning what?

857
01:33:30,018 --> 01:33:32,657
What do you mean?
You are a woman in love with a man.

858
01:33:32,738 --> 01:33:35,810
-Yes.
-But do we understand each other?

859
01:33:36,898 --> 01:33:40,288
You said, "A woman in love
of a man", but you haven't finished.

860
01:33:40,378 --> 01:33:42,175
OK. What is the conclusion?

861
01:33:43,338 --> 01:33:46,853
A woman in love with a man,
who pretends to be a man.

862
01:33:46,938 --> 01:33:49,213
I said you can stop pretending.

863
01:33:49,378 --> 01:33:51,573
But I don't think I want that.

864
01:33:53,218 --> 01:33:55,573
Now I'm a star. I'm successful.

865
01:33:55,978 --> 01:33:56,933
Yep...

866
01:33:58,698 --> 01:34:00,097
And not only that.

867
01:34:00,898 --> 01:34:03,776
I find all this fascinating.

868
01:34:05,698 --> 01:34:07,973
As a man I can do things...

869
01:34:08,058 --> 01:34:10,253
which I could never do as a woman.

870
01:34:11,138 --> 01:34:13,527
-I am emancipated.
-Emancipated?

871
01:34:13,818 --> 01:34:16,730
Let's put it this way, I have no masters.

872
01:34:17,338 --> 01:34:19,374
You should be able to figure it out.

873
01:34:19,458 --> 01:34:22,973
To be honest,
I find it difficult to understand many things.

874
01:34:26,698 --> 01:34:30,327
If we have a future together
it is important that you understand.

875
01:34:30,658 --> 01:34:32,410
I want to understand.

876
01:34:32,498 --> 01:34:35,251
It would be fair to ask you to leave
your job?

877
01:34:35,338 --> 01:34:38,694
-That would be ridiculous.
-But you expect me to leave mine.

878
01:34:38,858 --> 01:34:42,646
-There's a difference, by God!
-Exactly, but it shouldn't be there.

879
01:34:42,938 --> 01:34:45,930
It's not me
the one who pretends to be someone else.

880
01:34:46,018 --> 01:34:47,974
Let's put ourselves in each other's shoes.

881
01:34:48,058 --> 01:34:52,131
Let's say you are a man and I am a woman
who pretends to be a man.

882
01:34:53,858 --> 01:34:56,770
I think it depends a lot
by the reason why you do it.

883
01:34:56,858 --> 01:34:59,213
You said it was important for me to understand.

884
01:34:59,298 --> 01:35:01,493
-It's important that you understand too.
-Right.

885
01:35:01,578 --> 01:35:03,648
Love is a two-way street.

886
01:35:04,138 --> 01:35:07,210
-Why did I say that?
-I don't know, but what did you mean?

887
01:35:08,098 --> 01:35:11,249
You said
that if we have a future together...

888
01:35:11,338 --> 01:35:13,488
What do you mean by future?

889
01:35:13,898 --> 01:35:15,809
-Will we live together?
-Perhaps.

890
01:35:15,938 --> 01:35:17,974
-Shall we go to bed?
-Hopefully.

891
01:35:18,098 --> 01:35:20,009
While you continue to work?

892
01:35:20,618 --> 01:35:22,734
-Yes.
-Pretending to be a man.

893
01:35:24,418 --> 01:35:26,568
If I didn't do it, I wouldn't have any job.

894
01:35:26,658 --> 01:35:30,970
And while we will live and go to bed
together, what will people think?

895
01:35:31,058 --> 01:35:34,255
I imagine he will think
that you live and sleep with a man.

896
01:35:34,338 --> 01:35:37,296
-And it doesn't bother you?
-He will think of me himself!

897
01:35:37,378 --> 01:35:39,334
-You are a woman.
-People don't know.

898
01:35:39,418 --> 01:35:39,895
You do.

899
01:35:39,978 --> 01:35:42,890
And you know you're a man!
I don't see the difference.

900
01:35:42,978 --> 01:35:44,809
We will live a lie.

901
01:35:47,258 --> 01:35:50,330
I don't think this is it
to really bother you.

902
01:35:51,258 --> 01:35:55,410
If you think I care that people
you think I'm a faggot, you're right.

903
01:35:57,058 --> 01:35:58,810
Then we have a problem.

904
01:35:59,298 --> 01:36:00,617
I guess so.

905
01:36:06,978 --> 01:36:09,014
Maybe it's better this way.

906
01:36:09,898 --> 01:36:12,412
This sentence is almost as bad as mine.

907
01:36:14,218 --> 01:36:18,655
It's not original,
but on the other hand it is prophetic.

908
01:36:20,898 --> 01:36:23,571
I would end up asking you to stop
to be a gangster,

909
01:36:23,658 --> 01:36:27,207
because I would be afraid that everyone
they thought I was your accomplice.

910
01:36:27,298 --> 01:36:28,811
I'm not a gangster.

911
01:36:29,858 --> 01:36:31,610
But you have the bodyguard.

912
01:36:31,698 --> 01:36:34,053
A man who deals with gangsters...

913
01:36:34,138 --> 01:36:36,971
and he doesn't have a bodyguard
it doesn't have a long life.

914
01:36:37,058 --> 01:36:39,492
A man who deals with gangsters...

915
01:36:39,578 --> 01:36:43,457
and pretends not to be one of them
It seems very similar to what I do.

916
01:36:45,058 --> 01:36:46,935
We are both simulators.

917
01:36:47,858 --> 01:36:50,656
And that's not a good basis for a relationship.

918
01:37:00,418 --> 01:37:02,693
But it was fun while it lasted.

919
01:37:29,138 --> 01:37:31,652
-Nice evening?
-Up to a certain point.

920
01:37:32,938 --> 01:37:36,214
-What happened to you?
-Nothing much. They arrested us.

921
01:37:36,418 --> 01:37:38,886
Andrè's lawyer paid the bail.

922
01:37:42,978 --> 01:37:44,809
Remember Mr. Bernstein?

923
01:37:44,898 --> 01:37:46,217
Count Grazinski.

924
01:37:48,378 --> 01:37:49,731
Mr. Bernstein.

925
01:37:52,258 --> 01:37:53,532
-Squash?
-Yes.

926
01:37:53,618 --> 01:37:56,576
-Can I ask you a personal question?
-After you.

927
01:37:58,978 --> 01:38:03,176
How long... When did you find out...

928
01:38:03,298 --> 01:38:04,936
When did I know I was gay?

929
01:38:05,018 --> 01:38:07,452
I've always known it.

930
01:38:07,698 --> 01:38:09,416
But I've known you for 15 years!

931
01:38:09,538 --> 01:38:12,450
You know a lot, boss.
He would be surprised.

932
01:38:13,098 --> 01:38:14,850
You were a great football player.

933
01:38:14,938 --> 01:38:19,773
I've never seen a meaner one,
tough and tough in my life.

934
01:38:20,418 --> 01:38:23,455
If you don't want guys
they call you a fagot...

935
01:38:23,538 --> 01:38:26,848
you have to become a tough player,
hard and bastard.

936
01:38:30,818 --> 01:38:33,093
Why don't you watch where you're stepping?

937
01:38:37,538 --> 01:38:40,496
He says it was his fault
and suggests she apologize.

938
01:38:40,578 --> 01:38:41,647
-Really?
-After you.

939
01:38:41,738 --> 01:38:45,253
No. You can tell him that if he wants an apology...

940
01:38:45,978 --> 01:38:49,368
just put on your gloves
and see you in the ring.

941
01:38:53,938 --> 01:38:56,498
Give him 10 minutes. It will be a pleasure.

942
01:38:56,578 --> 01:38:57,693
Really?

943
01:39:00,258 --> 01:39:03,728
"It will be a pleasure!"
Who the hell does he think he is?

944
01:39:03,818 --> 01:39:06,730
Guy Langois,
the French middleweight champion.

945
01:39:07,338 --> 01:39:10,330
But don't worry. He's gay.

946
01:39:51,458 --> 01:39:53,130
-Mr. Bernstein.
-Count.

947
01:40:01,218 --> 01:40:03,732
I think we should try
to live together.

948
01:40:04,778 --> 01:40:06,257
Your house or my house?

949
01:40:14,458 --> 01:40:16,050
-Monsieur Labisse?
-Yes.

950
01:40:26,018 --> 01:40:30,409
He called me.
I'm Charles Bovin, private investigator.

951
01:40:30,658 --> 01:40:33,968
Well. There's one thing
that I want him to discover for me.

952
01:40:34,818 --> 01:40:37,207
-At your service.
-Be careful.

953
01:40:37,818 --> 01:40:39,934
I'm always careful.

954
01:40:40,418 --> 01:40:42,056
That stool is broken.

955
01:40:42,898 --> 01:40:43,933
Really?

956
01:40:45,898 --> 01:40:47,092
What are you thinking?

957
01:40:47,818 --> 01:40:52,528
Nothing in particular.
To many things, I imagine.

958
01:40:57,458 --> 01:40:58,971
I want to make a deal.

959
01:41:01,058 --> 01:41:04,653
No secrets and no hard feelings.

960
01:41:06,978 --> 01:41:09,367
If something bothers us, we say it.

961
01:41:09,858 --> 01:41:10,847
All right.

962
01:41:12,178 --> 01:41:14,294
And we don't plan for the future.

963
01:41:14,778 --> 01:41:17,372
We live day by day.

964
01:41:20,418 --> 01:41:21,612
Done deal.

965
01:44:47,938 --> 01:44:50,498
He has a good right foot. He doesn't use it.

966
01:44:51,338 --> 01:44:55,968
Here's the right! The right, I told you.
He's got it in his hands.

967
01:44:57,138 --> 01:44:59,447
Drop him a hook!

968
01:45:01,338 --> 01:45:02,327
Yes!

969
01:45:02,818 --> 01:45:04,137
Well!

970
01:46:29,218 --> 01:46:30,651
Is something wrong?

971
01:46:33,658 --> 01:46:36,934
We've been having dinner in our room for a week.

972
01:46:37,058 --> 01:46:39,777
When we go out after the show
then you're so tired...

973
01:46:39,858 --> 01:46:44,170
that you spend the next day sleeping.
So we go to bed pretty early...

974
01:46:44,258 --> 01:46:47,011
and we manage to pass
a few afternoons together.

975
01:46:50,138 --> 01:46:52,732
-Do you know what I would really like?
-What?

976
01:46:53,938 --> 01:46:57,647
Lose a few afternoons
and go dancing.

977
01:46:59,138 --> 01:46:59,934
To dance?

978
01:47:41,418 --> 01:47:42,646
Let's go.

979
01:47:47,378 --> 01:47:51,769
LE MATELOT PRIVATE CLUB

980
01:47:56,418 --> 01:47:58,409
Take her back to the hotel. We will see each other later.

981
01:47:58,498 --> 01:48:01,012
-Boss.
-Do what I told you, okay?

982
01:48:01,098 --> 01:48:02,975
Don't worry about me. Go.

983
01:48:18,498 --> 01:48:20,375
I just wanted to go dancing.

984
01:48:21,698 --> 01:48:26,726
Two men dancing together
they would look a little strange at the Ritz.

985
01:48:29,698 --> 01:48:33,008
I guess that's the problem
it's that we're not really two men.

986
01:48:35,818 --> 01:48:37,854
I guess that's the problem.

987
01:48:46,978 --> 01:48:48,934
Stopped. Driver, go back.

988
01:49:43,538 --> 01:49:44,493
Milk.

989
01:49:49,578 --> 01:49:51,887
Cow's milk or mother's milk?

990
01:49:57,658 --> 01:49:59,888
How about your sister's?

991
01:50:13,498 --> 01:50:14,453
Shit!

992
01:50:38,858 --> 01:50:40,291
You came back early.

993
01:50:41,978 --> 01:50:43,934
I think I'm a bachelor again.

994
01:50:45,138 --> 01:50:46,491
It's better that way.

995
01:50:47,018 --> 01:50:51,091
Mr. Bernstein was starting
to leave its shape in the mattress.

996
01:50:53,058 --> 01:50:54,377
Oh, Toddy.

997
01:50:56,018 --> 01:50:58,816
I'm so in love and I don't know what to do.

998
01:50:59,658 --> 01:51:03,446
Here, I can't stand to see
a grown man crying.

999
01:51:30,058 --> 01:51:31,127
There you are.

1000
01:51:44,258 --> 01:51:46,135
-You're really lucky, boss.
-Lucky?

1001
01:51:46,218 --> 01:51:48,334
Nothing was broken.

1002
01:51:48,418 --> 01:51:51,296
I couldn't feel worse
if I had broken everything.

1003
01:51:54,258 --> 01:51:56,294
Have you ever seen so many bruises?

1004
01:51:57,858 --> 01:52:00,088
Yes, on an entire football team.

1005
01:52:01,018 --> 01:52:04,215
I feel like I've spent the night
in a concrete mixer.

1006
01:52:13,378 --> 01:52:14,697
Hello, fagot.

1007
01:52:15,778 --> 01:52:18,736
I knew it was too good to last.

1008
01:52:19,618 --> 01:52:20,733
Stopped.

1009
01:52:21,258 --> 01:52:22,771
Raise your head.

1010
01:52:23,218 --> 01:52:24,412
Just a little.

1011
01:52:25,298 --> 01:52:28,131
-Victor doesn't look good.
-Nothing serious.

1012
01:52:28,218 --> 01:52:31,494
A few nights in hand
by a specialist and it will be as good as new.

1013
01:52:31,578 --> 01:52:33,250
-Well.
-Victor, dear,

1014
01:52:33,538 --> 01:52:37,372
you think you could
look a little less funereal?

1015
01:52:39,218 --> 01:52:40,446
Rene, dear.

1016
01:52:40,698 --> 01:52:43,371
-Yes?
-Why don't you go get fried?

1017
01:52:45,018 --> 01:52:48,055
-I would like you to think about it.
-I thought about it.

1018
01:52:48,138 --> 01:52:51,289
In the last two weeks
I thought about it a lot.

1019
01:52:51,618 --> 01:52:55,770
During the last sleepless night
I thought about it all the time.

1020
01:52:57,018 --> 01:52:59,816
I have come to the conclusion
that it's not worth it.

1021
01:52:59,898 --> 01:53:02,128
I'm very unhappy and I shouldn't be...

1022
01:53:02,218 --> 01:53:04,288
because there is an alternative.

1023
01:53:05,178 --> 01:53:08,295
Tonight Count Grazinski
will perform for the last time.

1024
01:53:08,698 --> 01:53:12,532
Tomorrow I will announce to the world
who is actually Victoria Grant...

1025
01:53:12,738 --> 01:53:15,571
and maybe I'll get lucky
to celebrate my femininity...

1026
01:53:15,658 --> 01:53:17,410
as Mrs. King Marchand.

1027
01:53:21,418 --> 01:53:22,487
At that time?

1028
01:53:23,058 --> 01:53:25,936
So what? Did you decide.

1029
01:53:28,418 --> 01:53:30,136
I want your blessing.

1030
01:53:31,578 --> 01:53:33,409
Can I open the door first?

1031
01:53:40,738 --> 01:53:42,854
-There's a little problem.
-Welcome.

1032
01:53:42,938 --> 01:53:44,337
What happens?

1033
01:53:44,418 --> 01:53:48,206
King's partner, Sal Andratti,
he arrived with two of his henchmen.

1034
01:53:49,978 --> 01:53:53,209
Sal put up the money for the club,
but the mafia doesn't believe...

1035
01:53:53,298 --> 01:53:55,892
homosexuality
an acceptable lifestyle.

1036
01:53:56,138 --> 01:53:58,129
You can kill them, but not kiss them.

1037
01:54:11,858 --> 01:54:15,055
Come on, Mr. Bernstein.

1038
01:54:27,938 --> 01:54:32,454
-Your lawyer saw it. He says it's OK.
-Reassuring. How is my lawyer?

1039
01:54:32,978 --> 01:54:34,570
It is the picture of health.

1040
01:54:34,658 --> 01:54:36,569
Lipstick and nightgown?

1041
01:54:37,658 --> 01:54:40,047
Do you take turns playing the girl?

1042
01:54:40,378 --> 01:54:42,016
It's disgusting!

1043
01:54:42,298 --> 01:54:43,936
I know. It's horrible!

1044
01:54:46,658 --> 01:54:49,570
Jesus, King, a guy like you?
We grew up together.

1045
01:54:49,658 --> 01:54:52,172
Maybe it has to do with this.

1046
01:54:58,138 --> 01:55:01,050
Come on, Sal, you know that my other half
it's worth ten times more.

1047
01:55:01,138 --> 01:55:02,651
Signature.

1048
01:55:19,778 --> 01:55:21,052
Hi sweetie.

1049
01:55:22,698 --> 01:55:24,689
-Hi, Sal.
-Who the hell are you?

1050
01:55:24,778 --> 01:55:27,417
Remember the pressure, sweetie.

1051
01:55:27,898 --> 01:55:30,412
-This is the count and this is...
-"Ciccino"?

1052
01:55:31,098 --> 01:55:32,770
This is Mr. Toddy.

1053
01:55:33,618 --> 01:55:37,054
They were lovers
before Darling arrived.

1054
01:55:37,298 --> 01:55:39,209
-Disgusting!
-They are perverts.

1055
01:55:39,298 --> 01:55:41,095
"Darling"? Can I say a few words to you?

1056
01:55:41,178 --> 01:55:43,408
-What do you want?
-They will change your life.

1057
01:55:43,498 --> 01:55:46,808
-Sal! Take it out...
-Stop!

1058
01:55:52,018 --> 01:55:54,612
What... What are you doing?

1059
01:55:58,538 --> 01:55:59,687
Hate!

1060
01:56:01,658 --> 01:56:04,889
What are you... Oh God!

1061
01:56:05,338 --> 01:56:07,135
What's happening?

1062
01:56:09,178 --> 01:56:10,293
Wait!

1063
01:56:14,018 --> 01:56:15,337
Lock it up.

1064
01:56:16,858 --> 01:56:18,735
What's going on in there?

1065
01:56:19,058 --> 01:56:21,492
You are in a lot of trouble.

1066
01:56:24,818 --> 01:56:28,970
Double agent motherfucker!
It's a woman.

1067
01:56:55,178 --> 01:56:58,966
Labisse is coming with the police.
He says you are not a man.

1068
01:57:01,138 --> 01:57:02,332
Stay there.

1069
01:57:11,178 --> 01:57:13,692
-Yes?
-I am Inspector Bernheim.

1070
01:57:14,018 --> 01:57:15,690
-Yes?
-Step aside.

1071
01:57:15,898 --> 01:57:18,207
I know all about your Count Grazinski.

1072
01:57:18,498 --> 01:57:21,251
When the inspector
will have unmasked the impostor...

1073
01:57:21,338 --> 01:57:22,088
"Impostor"?

1074
01:57:22,178 --> 01:57:26,490
Yes, impostor. You will be arrested
on charges of public fraud!

1075
01:57:28,218 --> 01:57:29,697
Please, Inspector.

1076
01:57:45,698 --> 01:57:46,653
At that time?

1077
01:57:47,058 --> 01:57:48,013
-Idiot!
-What?

1078
01:57:48,098 --> 01:57:49,816
-That's a man.
-It can't be.

1079
01:57:49,898 --> 01:57:53,811
When I entered, the person
in the room she was naked from the waist down.

1080
01:57:53,898 --> 01:57:58,130
If that was a woman, she was wearing
the most incredible costume ever seen.

1081
01:57:58,218 --> 01:57:59,856
Wait. There is an error.

1082
01:57:59,938 --> 01:58:02,930
It can't be.
I hired a private detective and...

1083
01:58:04,538 --> 01:58:05,493
Quick.

1084
01:58:45,098 --> 01:58:46,417
Ladies and gentlemen,

1085
01:58:46,498 --> 01:58:49,888
once again
we are pleased to present the only,

1086
01:58:50,378 --> 01:58:52,892
the unrepeatable Victoria!

1087
02:00:57,218 --> 02:00:59,891
Monsieur Labisse, my fee.

1088
02:01:21,138 --> 02:01:22,332
Hate!

1089
02:01:29,058 --> 02:01:30,730
Where the hell are they?

1090
02:01:40,978 --> 02:01:42,206
Beast!

1091
02:02:24,578 --> 02:02:26,011
A huge success.

1092
02:02:33,098 --> 02:02:34,167
Is that all?

1093
02:03:08,458 --> 02:03:09,811
Ugly fagots.

1094
02:03:28,098 --> 02:03:29,213
Bravo!

1095
02:03:40,498 --> 02:03:41,613
Bravo!

1096
02:03:48,618 --> 02:03:49,971
Bravo!

1097
02:03:56,738 --> 02:03:57,853
Bravo!

1098
02:04:05,218 --> 02:04:06,890
You were wonderful!

1099
02:04:07,578 --> 02:04:09,933
And I don't want to see you anymore.

1100
02:04:12,258 --> 02:04:15,933
Or maybe yes.
These are the last roses I will see.

1101
02:04:20,658 --> 02:04:21,693
For you.

1102
02:07:44,138 --> 02:07:47,130
