LACE
Parthian. 1

Translation and adaptation:
VERONICA

This is school.

It has been closed for many years.

What else did you find out?

There was a scandal related to the director.
A kind of blackmail.

- And she was a student there?
- We have reason to believe so.

We also have reasons to
we think it's your mother

We must return to Paris.

The old woman has the answers.

Is it Lily?

She is.

what is he doing here

It's a miracle she's dressed.

He is waiting for you.

- Do you want me to go with you?
- No, I prefer to do this alone.

- Lily! Lily!
- Lily!

I am not sorry.

Get in.

Get in.

Come closer.

I don't walk at all anymore
at the cinema.

I don't leave the house at all.
Nowhere.

But I know who you are.

I have never been to the cinema
due to lack of time.

But I remember.

Chevalieux, Renoire, Jean Gabin
and Piaff, of course.

And Lucille de Lace?

You sent money to her regularly
for more than 6 years. Why?

They told me you wanted to talk to me,
but they didn't tell me the reason.

- But I didn't even ask.
- Why did you send money for the child?

What can you tell me?
about Lucille de Lace?

- Nothing.
- Who is she? Where can I find it?

Nowhere.
She doesn't exist.

In Chatedeux in 1960
Lucille de Lace has given birth to a child.

No no. You do not understand.

- All 3 girls used the same name.
- What are you talking about? Which three?

The three girls from school.

That's how it was.

It happened at that school.

Thank you, Mr. Potter.

Well done, master!

Quiet.

Quiet.

Silence.

It's better this way.

Violations of the rules have been reported
in the bedrooms.

I wonder who was raped.

I wish it was me.

I remind you that there is no smoking,

no cosmetics are used,

no indecent books and magazines.

Just a little sex.

I warn you that,

any violation of the regulation

will be dealt with severely.

You can start.

"He started undressing her quickly,"

"kissing her many times
was starting to say something."

"Lucille de Lace wanted
for him to stop."

Why?

Peggy, you really do
to listen to this or not?

Read more.

"She felt his hands searching her
the body at leisure."

I like this.

"Unexpectedly, he was already there
lying on the bed beside her."

"Lucille de Lace tried
to push him away from her."

- Cold!
- "Please" - she said.

- I don't know how to...
- Learn!...

"Then she felt him over her."

"And she felt waves of cold and then
of warmth that delighted her."

"His breath was warm.
His gaze burned with desire."

"But Lucille didn't notice.
She was stepping over a bridge."

A deck?

"She was fully becoming a woman."

- Lucille de Lace finally "did it".
- She's a teenager.

Is this from Hortense?

Not. From one of my lovers.

From that French legionnaire.

Are they cigarettes?

- The flannels.
- Wait.

They have no filter.

Did someone bring me candy?

Sweets are not allowed in the bedrooms.

Only food, sweets
and pornographic literature.

- What are you hiding Maxine?
- Nothing.

I hope you don't smoke!... You heard what
said Mr. Chardin about smoking.

- Stop humming, Piggy!
- Good.

Omega knows why the Norwegians
they were blown up, weren't they?

Who cares?!

Veronica will tell you, in exchange for
half of what you hide.

Isn't that right, Veronica?

- We are not hiding anything.
- Let's see.

You're always together, aren't you?

- Through thick and thin.
- In sickness and in health.

No, you fool!
You are healthy.

She is sick!

You've always been smart, Pegan.

Maybe one day, you will be too much
smart so that you are also well.

Do you have relatives in Germany?

"He kissed her insistently, in a way that
it made her feel a wild emotion."

"Lucille de Lace could feel his muscular body,
he smelled desire."

"And you could feel it
how much he wants it."

"It was exciting."

- Which is?
- Come on.

- Which? Which?
- The one over there.

Where is it?

Isn't that adorable?

Well done, Pierre!
Well done, well done.

- This is sensational.
- Surely.

can we go now

Wouldn't you say she's running after him?

My girlfriends think you're great.

Listen, coach
he won't be here on Thursday.

We have to find a place.

Pierre!

Must.

And his neck, and those wonderful brown eyes
that fixes you...

You know... He's absolutely wonderful.

- Miss Pascal!
- Yes, ma'am.

Do you have something to say?

No, ma'am.

Speaks!
Maybe everyone wants to hear.

It's my fault, ma'am.

I asked her something.
I'm confused.

About what?

well if "homo"
in Latin it means "man",

and "homo" in Greek
means the same thing.

Correct.

How is that right?
"Homosexual" or "homosexual"?

Sit down.

That's right.

- He is a sinner.
- Can charge anytime for my menu order.

Look at his smile!

One two.

Can we sit at your table?

How kind of you!

I bet you're lonely.

And you want someone from the bank
keep your money?

Why would we want to?

Not. I bet on:
where does the initial N come from?

- Can you bring us 3 coffees?
- Yes. We are not hungry.

I'm Nicholas.

You can call me Nick.

- I'm Judy Hale.
- Hi.

- Maxine Pascal.
- Hi.

- Jennifer Trelowney.
- But everyone calls him Pegan.

Why?

Because she is... "pagan" (Pegan).

And you're from...Ohio?

Kansas.

- Hey... It's Kansas.
- The Paris of the Prairie.

Enough about us.

Tell us about yourself.

Well...I'm from Philadelphia.

I will work at the bank here
for a time.

President of the Board of Administration
I want to gain experience.

Are you sure you don't want to?
serve lunch?

- Maybe just a little.
- Max...

Can you bring them some menus?

What were we talking about?

Something about the president
to the Board of Administration.

Well...
It's actually my father.

Your height,
would you like to be more careful please?

Thank you.

I love their bathrooms!

You call them rebellion?

I assume it's Rudolf Valentino.

Don't move!

Wait, wait.

- It's good like this.
- Okay. Perfect. How about this?

Are you ready?

Not. Not.

Grab the reins!

- Oh gosh!
-Grab the reins!

Stop it!

Easy.

Stop them, please.

I'm glad to see you.

Idiots!

You could die.
Don't you know anything about horses?

It seems not.

Thank you very much.

- Sir...
- Abdullah. Prince Abdullah of Sydon.

Nice to meet you.
I am the queen of China.

- Peg, why did you have to play the smart one?
- Still, he saved our lives.

Know.

But he could present himself without using
those extreme fantasies.

He could not?

Everything is OK.

It is impossible. I can't make it
never to be with Pierre.

What's wrong with the hour
meeting?

They say it's better in the afternoon.

- Who says that?
- Lucille de Lace.

Will test this in the next chapter.

- I will remain single.
- You are already single...

I mean forever.

- Sure. You and the Prince of Sydon...
- What does this have to do with him?

- He has concubines and belly dancers.
- But what do I do with Pierre? Please!...

"Piggy" says she's coming to the dance.

- And how does "Piggy" know?
- Of course he's coming to the dance.

- Not Pierre, stupid, but Abdullah.
- Not that I would care.

What do I do with Pierre?

Maybe he can sneak in here.

Yes, he could dress like a woman
and pretend it comes from space.

You have no soul, Pegan.
You are not romantic.

And how does Piggy know that
will he come to the dance?

- Do you know what I think?
- What the?

I think you two
you have sex on the brain.

Where did you get this from?

My aunt Hortense
he says it's addictive.

Like oysters.

It can also be an exaggeration. It happens
more important things in life.

We know.

Only we can't
think about them

But what do I do with Pierre?
please girls

If it has to be Thursday and
do you really want to be alone with him

we should be able to
let's find a solution.

We will find.

It's the first thing that
we will do it in the morning.

Good night.
Sweet Dreams.

I will never be able to sleep again...

Do you have a room reserved?

Success!

Like a lamb to the slaughter.

Can you give me the key, please?

Who is?

I...

I am.

- Hi.
- Hi.

How long will your coach be gone?

He will be back tomorrow.

But he left us instructions.

let's not smoke
let's not drink...

let's not have anything to do
with women.

Until after the big game.

You just broke it.

Who cares?

I need to tell you something.

Oh! Not.

You know... I...

I never did...

...nothing like that before.

Fear not.
I have been in this situation hundreds of times.

Hundreds?

Well... Almost.

Here she comes.

What does it look like?

He crossed the bridge and became
a real woman.

- Try to act normal.
- I always behave normally.

As if we couldn't be interested anymore
little bit. Let her say when she wants.

Of course.

- Hi!
- Hi! - Hi!

Well what happened?

- It happened.
- To...? - What the hell does that mean?

- To...
- That's great.

We did everything to get that room
and all we get is "did it happen?

- What do you want to know?
- Everything. - How was it?

Better than Judy's novel.

- Which does not clarify much for us.
- From the beginning.

What happened?

Well...

I'm not too sure.

But I think I did everything wrong.

You couldn't have.
In women it is instinctive.

- Like riding a bike.
- Shut up, Pegan.

Or maybe he did it all wrong.

How will I know?

Good question.

Did you feel like crossing a bridge?

I was wondering...

I don't think I felt anything.

But it was wonderful.
And Pierre is wonderful. And...

But...

- What?

I'm not sure I love him anymore.

I would like to say a few words
about the Valentine ball.

I am fully aware that
the day is associated with...

should we say... Cupid.

Cupid was a pervert.

Anyway, I'm sure
I don't need to remind you

that whatever the occasion,

the students at L'Hirondelle must
to keep his decency.

Although he could try.

I wonder if their marriage
has been consumed so far.

- Never.
- It's absolutely impossible.

Sexually,
everything is possible.

Not in the case of Chardin.

He probably got married
with her for money.

And besides, he's in love
by his driver.

Hi Paul.
You work hard...

May the director be happy all the time...

Come on, girls.

- Am I wearing too much makeup?
- You can't see any blush.

Damn wire bra.

The same with me. No matter how I turn it,
it's still upside down.

I think I'll put this in my hair.

The one who will dance next to you,
he will be stung by a thorn in the nose.

What do we look like?

- Great,
- Sensational. - Sumptuous.

She monopolizes him

No, they don't monopolize it.

I expect to dance with each one
of us at least twice.

- Where is your "fantastic" man?
- Maybe it will be a little late.

Let's hope he dances better
than her boyfriend.

Do you want to dance?

Sorry, I'm too tall.

Yes, I refuse!

What happened?

Nothing.

- It's a wonderful evening!
- Great, great.

- Where is Pierre?
- It's coming. His team is celebrating. They won.

Excuse me!

Prince Abdullah of Sydon would
please give him the next dance.

And why doesn't he invite me?

But he invites you.
That's what I do now.

Tell him to mind his own business.

Please, I don't understand what it means
"to mind his own business".

Simply translated: If His Majesty wishes
to dance with this lovely lady,

...then he can move here
and invite her properly.

Exact.

As you wish.

Do you know what's wrong with you?

What the?

Nothing.

Let's Dance!

Dance is not one of
my "strong" points.

Not even from mine.

When two fools meet,
both should be careful.

do you allow me

- She won.
- Did you ever doubt that?

Bravo to Pegan!

You dance very well.

If that's one of the things
which you are a little good at...

I would like to see one of the things
which you are very good at.

You will probably see.

Do you mean tennis or lion hunting?
Something like that?

Not. I didn't mean something
so mundane.

Know?

- I still have one thing to criticize.
- What the?

The fact that we are not
never alone

Don't be ridiculous!

I won!
Victory!

Hello Hello.

We celebrated.

What doesn't suit you?
What have I done?

- Am I more important than hockey?
- Nothing is more important than hockey.

We Dance?

where is judy

I have to rewrite
chapter three of my book.

Why?

Well, it's the chapter
in which Lucille de Lace...

You know.

And isn't that how you wrote it?

It is much better.

I said...

...that she crossed the bridge.

- Wasn't there a bridge?
- Not.

No, it was more like...

a country road

which I knew existed, but which
I never wanted to go until now.

- I love you.
- I care about you very much.

Why do you say you're with me? You couldn't lie
little bit? Tell me you love me too?

In fact, it is one of the small differences.

The fact that in the morning at breakfast,

when I saw my neighbor's name
appearing on the football team's roster,

I suddenly realized that I was the only one
from the team, who does not have a first name.

Smith had John, Brown had
Henry, I was just Abdullah.

I'm afraid the royal apartment here
it does not compare to the one in Transfalgar.

I hoped so anyway
it will amuse you.

Don't they stay?

Not.

They don't think you'll try
to assassinate me

I never want to hurt you.

Please believe me.

Sure.

I believe you.

Now what roof falls on my head? Don't let me
you say you're impotent because I don't believe it.

- Judy...
- Not.

I can try to guess one more time.

You are much older than you look...

You are married and have 3 children...

No I'm not married.

But I will be married...soon.

If that means anything,
i love you more than her

my career my future
all my life...

everything was planned by a lot of
people, but not by me.

And neither of us
he didn't plan for me to meet you.

And you don't want to change
this grand plan?

I can not.

I'm going home next week.

You could have...

- ...tell me that before.
- Yes.

Should have.

Not that it would have changed a thing...

Thank you.

I didn't know you were at Eden.

Yes.

And they taught me math, science, history.

History as you know it.

But I took private lessons
on a much more important topic.

- English?
- No, not really.

Hakim Kar Alsad taught me
lessons on how to make love.

did you take lessons

two hours a day,
for three weeks.

Here you go?

What's so funny?

Nothing. I was just thinking about
what was on the board...

Did you have a lot of homework?

You will realize that the 3 weeks
they were not a waste of time.

Will I figure it out?

Well... you haven't commented anything yet
about the royal apartment.

It's very… royal.

The bedroom is on this side...

If you've seen a bedroom...
it's like you've seen them all.

Please... don't play with me.

We are not in class.

And if that's what he taught you
the hakim, whatever they call him...

Let me show you what he taught me.

Come over!

- I will show you what love is.
- No, thanks.

Are you refusing me?

Exact.

how dare you

Wicked Virgin...

Possible.

But like you, I took it
lessons about love.

From a lot of teachers.

Such as:

Deborah Carr...

And Doris Day...

And Jane Austin... and all the Bronte sisters.

And your hakim

could learn a hell of a lot
to them about how a woman should be treated.

Deborah Carr...

Doris Day...

Please.
Stop it.

How glad I am to see you!
Just in time.

- Do you want me to take you to school?
- You're kidding?

Get on.

How come you missed the school bus?
- I went to the WC and they left without me.

- You will have trouble with Mr. Chardin.
- As if I didn't know!

Where are we going?

I have to go home.

Come in for a minute.

No, thanks.
I will wait here.

It might take longer than I thought.

- This will warm you up.
- I do not drink.

As you English say: Cheers!

Luck.

Oh no! Turn it over!
To the bottom.

Like this.

Please take me back to school.

As soon as you finish your drink.

Good.
But after that, I have to go.

How come you're not there anymore
so clever tonight?

About what?

With your jokes about me.

You always laugh at me.

- That's our style.
- "Paul doesn't like women."

"Paul likes men."
"Paul likes Chardin."

Do you think I don't know what you mean?

I think it would be better
take me back to school

Maybe I don't like your jokes.

Maybe that would be better
be more careful what you say.

Maybe you were wrong about me.

Ah... You woke up!
Do like me.

I hate drinking alone.

please let me go

- Not yet. First we have to have fun.
- Don't be an idiot.

I insist you take me immediately
back to school.

Not yet.

I have something to show you.

Paul, if you let me go I won't
I don't tell anyone anything. I promise.

Look!
Do you remember her?

I think he was here before you.

Omega knows why it was
Norwegian deregistered.

Do you want to know the reason?

- Tell me.
- For this. This is the reason.

You are like her.

Does that turn you on?

You are very photogenic.

How about Chardin?
Look.

It's disgusting.

You are both disgusting.

how dare you

Oh... I'm sorry.

I tore your dress.

We are having fun and I will do more
some photos.

I bring the camera.

Great fun.

Great fun.

Here we are!

Not!
Wait!

The Queen of China, I suppose.

I missed the bus to school.

True?

Yes.

But this is not the only mistake
which i did tonight.

Can I ask him to leave us alone?

It can happen to anyone.

And it usually happens.

I wish it could happen to men.

And it is assumed that it will have to
to take one maddened with hunger.

Then you will have to get pregnant
for many years.

Stop saying pregnant.

Sounds better than pregnant.

Anything sounds better than pregnant.

It's not the end of the world.

Not. There are still 7 months until then.

Assuming we do nothing.

What do you want to say?

Our whole lives
are turned upside down.

- Careers, husbands...
- It's too early for motherhood.

But the thing we think about
seems illegal.

It will not last long.

In ten years,

abortions will be done as well as appendicitis

in real hospitals
by real doctors.

Yes, but for now they are done
of creepy little men.

- In small, dirty rooms.
- True.

What kind of society can dictate
a woman what to do with her body?

- Especially a society led by men.
- No one contradicts you.

It's not fair to the mother
nor to the child.

So...

What can we do about it?

First of all, let's not panic.

- Who's panicking?
- We.

Good.

We all relax.

Whatever we decide will have to
to be unanimous.

Yes.

And none of them will shy away from doing it
something, for fear of being blamed. Never.

Agree?

Let's vote.

Who is for abortion?

- So another flower child is born.
- And then?

- Oh, it's even more horrible than abortion.
- Let's see.

We are three intelligent and capable people.

We have a little problem.

- I refuse to think that we cannot cope.
- You are right.

- Of course we can.
- One way or another.

I think it's a moment
in every woman's life,

when he must take his destiny into his own hands.

Dr. Geneste
Obstetrician

We can't go on
let's go back and forth.

Next time.

Omega!

- Yes...
- Miss Lucille de Lace.

Does he have an appointment?

Yes.

Invite her in.

- But...
- Invite her in.

Miss... Lucille de Lace?

You are together?

- Through thick and thin.
- In health and in sickness.

In health and in sickness.

Are you the sick one?

Not. That's our motto.

Because he said of her,
the letters T and H sound like the letter S.

I understand...

Take a seat please.

And which one of you is Miss Lace?

- None.
- All.

In fact, it is a kind of acquaintance
common of ours.

And she is...

in "trouble"...

And then... why didn't she come to me?

She is actually one of us.

But it could have been any of us.

And we won't tell you
which one of us is

Not yet.

And...

this Miss Lace...

when was the last time you had your period?

They stayed inside for a long time.

If it's a boy, he'll be called Paul.

- After Paul Newman.
- And if it will be a girl, Elisabeth.

- Like Elizabeth Taylor.
- Not! Like Queen Elisabeth.

- Queen Elisabeth.
- Wait a moment...

You are very sure that it does not exist
the possibility of a marriage?

- Not at all.
- It's really impossible.

And you all agree
with this adoption!?...

Yes... But only by
the right people.

- Only temporarily.
- Form parents. Not actual adoption.

Even if we find the right people,
even if they want it...

however, they have a right to know
how long they will keep the child.

Oh!... We're discussing this too.

Yes of course.

Until one of us is
on her feet, and has a career.

And she can be a real mother.

Which will not be
after a long time.

Good good. I will do
some discreet investigations.

And in the meantime Miss Lace
she will be glad to know

that her pregnancy will not be noticed
until after graduation.

Sit down.

Careful!

Immediately after breakfast,

I want to see the following students
in my office:

Judith Hale,

Maxine Pascal,

Jennifer Trelowney.

Right after breakfast, please.

What else did you do this time?

I don't want any more lies.

I want to know why you went to Dr. Geneste

- We didn't feel well.
- Oh!... Didn't you feel well?...

I understand. But you didn't report
the school nurse, right? Oh no!

You went to a gynecologist.

Is that a gynecologist?

We didn't know that.

They lie!

I know I'm lying.

One of them is pregnant.

Who says that?

- Did Dr. Geneste say that?
- Yes.

- He couldn't have done that...
- Medical ethics.

And if he told you,
why are you asking us?

I ask to be told,
which one of you is pregnant

- I feel offended.
- I don't know what you are talking about.

Maybe we're all pregnant...

Ms. Pascale will stay.

The other two you can leave.

Outside.

By accident, I found out that you are...

the one who was seen entering
in a room at the Majestic Hotel.

Soon after a young man,

was seen entering
in the same room.

Do you have something to say?

do you have

In this case you will be expelled
from school. Immediate.

Without graduating.

Except when...

Except what?!...

Only if, my aunt Hortense does
a sizeable donation to the school...

- Disgusting.
- This is blackmail.

- He can't prove anything.
- However, he can expel me.

Just the fact that it was in
the hotel room is enough.

- Shall I ask Aunt Hortense?
- No way.

Once you accept the blackmail,
the situation will get worse.

I don't want to leave here
I don't want to be separated from you.

It won't be necessary.

- What do you want to say?
- That she will not be forced to do this.

Hi!

What are you doing here?

Oh, I just went out
for a little walk.

Isn't this an isolated place?

Don't you ever feel lonely?

Not!

Go back to school.

Oh!... It's so boring there!

Lessons, and lessons, and more lessons...

Everything is so unromantic!

I'm not here.

Are you sure this is where he kept them?

Start looking.

I've never been good at engines.
You are smart!

What do you want?

Do you have any suggestions?

- What was that?
- I didn't hear anything.

Paul!

What is this good for?

Stupid idiot!

Judy!

Did you find them?

Let's go.

I'm truly sorry...

You're disgusting!

Yes. You are expelled!

Because you each hunted
pair of trousers from the city.

That's what you do too, sir.

Outside!

And there are many more...

Maybe Mrs. Chardin
he would like to see them.

I'll take them to them.

Stay!

Come back.

Good! What you want?

None will be expelled.

And all three of us will be graduates.

With the qualification A.

- Something else?
- Yes...

Because of the state we find ourselves in...
we have to be exempt from gym class.

That's the house.

- Oh!... she's wonderful!
- Fairly...

Oh, it seems reliable,

And that's his wife.

She looks robust.

- They seem like decent people.
- They are very polite.

she was born here
and he is Hungarian from Budapest.

He works as a hotel waiter.

Well, I think it's a house
very nice.

Yes. And they both seem decent.

Yes, but it can be seen that they are not really rich.

- Ah!... They need money.
- Of course they need money.

And you must be punctual
with payments, do you understand?

- Money is not a problem.
- We will be hiring soon

and we will pay every month.

And now comes... a little question
about my commission.

"Money is not a problem".
Sure, we're flush with money.

- How much do you think he will ask us?
- Too much.

Just for cutting the umbilical cord?

Stop being drunk! Me
it's crazy that you eat so much.

How could anyone not believe it
in the social medical system?

I'm not interested in speeches.
Where do we get some money?

You mean, who's going to lend to us?
without asking us questions.

It doesn't cross my mind
only one possibility.

My niece asked in the north wing.

Yes Mrs.

Domisoara.

For now.

Negligence.
Pure negligence.

On the other hand, the more a woman is pregnant
the sooner the better.

I should know that.
I waited too long.

Not that I didn't have the opportunity.

Was this earl, or baron,
one of many others.

I think he was Romanian.
Exiled, of course.

She always hoped that she would have 8 children.

So I quickly got rid of him.

I have to take more
considering one who,

it was well located,

but... what to do with him,
in Saint Tropez at Monty?

I mean the thing you have to
remember about children, they cry a lot.

Crying is definitely not
my favorite sound.

And then they have to walk,
to talk, to ride a bike...

It wasn't for me.

But for you...
I think it's wonderful.

Now I should guess
which one of you is, isn't it?

No, you're wrong.

- We can't tell you that.
- We made a pact.

Serve.

Now I'm really curious.

But you are absolutely right.
It's not my business.

But then why did you tell me?

Because we need it
of money for the doctor.

We want to send money monthly
adoptive parents.

We thought you might
do it for us

- Through your bank.
- I hoped you would.

But the doctor's bill...

You see, the truth is,

money slips through my fingers.
Not that I live extravagantly,

understand, but...

Let me think...

Which of my ex-husbands could we…
force... "to bite the bait"?

I told you he would.

Get in.

Come in, Miss Lace.

Take a seat.

Everything is arranged.
After you finish school,

you will stay with some people
from the village of Chateux Deux.

I know them well.

They are reliable people.

And if you allow me to add
a personal comment,

...of the three of you,

you are the last one I would have expected.

I never knew
which one was

What we knew was that he was the child of everything
three, that's how special their friendship was.

And they kept their secret.

They made their pact against me,
and they kept it.

You're wrong!

Their child was killed,
and that destroyed their friendship.

I was born in Chateux Deux
on November 17, 1960.

The doctor who attended the birth
it's Geneste, my mother was a student,

at L'Hirondelle school.

My adoptive parents were
Felix and Angelina Desant,

and you regularly sent them money
through your bank until they were killed.

But the child was also killed.

- I do not understand.
- You don't understand anything, stupid old woman.

You have no right to talk to me like that.

I have all rights...

... because you helped them.
You helped them plot against me.

They had to send for me as soon as possible
one of them would have had a stable situation.

"One day, the real mother
Lili's will return to her".

Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow...
And I waited... and I hoped...

And then, then it was gone
no hope.

Because they forgot me.

No... It didn't happen like that.
You must listen to me.

You told me the thing for
that I came Thank you.

I will find out which one is the mother
mine, by my means.

But the child was killed.
He's dead.

I wish she had been killed.

They made their student pact, and sent me
in hell. I will teach them what I learned there.

No, you don't have to do anything to them.

The child was killed.
He's dead.

You hear me?

He came here to talk to me
this way...

She's crazy!..

With love, I led you here

Hortense Boutin...

In the name of the Father and the Son
and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Madame de Chazalle.

Formerly Maxine Pascal.

Her husband, the Comte de Chazalle
he inherited a real estate empire.

And then, that's their son.

How old is?

17 years, I think.

17!?...

Judith Hale...

He never married.

Mr is Thomas Schwartz.

Do they live together?

I will find out.

They are co-producers at LACE magazine.

What?..
Magazine...

It is very successful in America.

There are rumors that they have
financial difficulties. I will check.

So do it!

And that is Pegan.

Yes. That's what they called him at school.

Currently, Lady Swan.

- I would like to drink something.
- You exceeded your portion for today.

Today is not an ordinary day.

Her husband is Sir Christopher Swann.

They don't seem too happy
to see each other again.

They used to be very close.

But I haven't been for many years.

It's hard for him to bear.
It meant a lot to her.

We all feel the same way.
She was very good to us.

I'm sorry I didn't have it
the opportunity to meet her.

It was worth knowing her.

see you soon,
in more pleasant circumstances.

Pegan...

Dear Pegan...

That's enough.

Not yet.

You're not going to tell him
"goodbye" to Julie?

Is there anything else you'd like me to do?

Not.

On my own.

Now it's time to make them suffer.

Allow me!

- Thank you.
- With pleasure.

Miss Hale!...

Welcome aboard.

I can introduce you to a few
among my friends?

I can't wait to meet Lili.
He made me wait 3 days.

Of course. I'm afraid it's my fault.

I'm very selfish with things
that I want.

She's an object, Mr. Sweener.

Miss Hale... The project is
important to you?

Well...

let's say it's very important.

No I do not understand.

It means what it means to you
the 200 boats,

your villa, private planes.

Thank you...

Maybe even more.

In this case,

let's begin.

This way, please.

Lily!

Lily
Miss Hale is here.

Good.

He can come in.

I feel that the presentations
I'm redundant.

- Would you like a cup of coffee?
- Not.

You know when Mr. Sweener called me in New York
and told me you might be receptive to...

Sweener is a pig.

I do not know him.
I only talked to him on the phone.

You came to talk about Sweener
or about me?

- About you, of course.
- Then do this.

Good.

No, thanks.

I would like exclusivity
on the story of your life.

It could be published in 3-4 issues
consecutive issues of "Lace" magazine.

And what do I gain from this?

Advertising, money...

plus great satisfaction.

Tell me more about
this satisfaction.

Much has been written and spoken about you
and I'm sure there were also many lies

and this is the chance to make things right.

Of course you do all this
for my own good.

- I didn't say that.
- Not.

It's hard for you to talk openly, Miss Hale.

You probably lied
and you several times in your life.

I was talking about you.

So you mean
the whole truth about Lili.

Yes.

And what guarantee do I have that you will do so?

Say what you want.

The contract gives you total control.
You approve what will appear in the magazine.

Are you posting exactly what I'm saying?
Every word?

Exact.

There will be people who will object.

One of the fatal movie stars
your favorite... for example.

Good.

Also a famous
opera singer...

Also a well-known
US Senator...

Even better.

Now a tasty scandal, and your magazine
it may even stay in business. That's right?

- It would help.
- The whole truth... Miss Hale.

You need me.

You need my story.
Is it so hard to admit?

Yes.

The magazine is a big part
from my life. Maybe the biggest.

It is a very competitive business
and we barely manage.

And now an exclusivity with you...
can make a difference.

when do you want to start

As soon as possible.

Why not right now?

I was hoping you'd say that.

Where do you want me to start?

Ever since the doctor slapped me
over the bottom at the first scream?

You say and I print.

Not.

We'll start with something
much more interesting.

I was pregnant.
When I was 16, Miss Hale.

You were pregnant
at 16, Miss Hale?

I would like you to call me Judy.

He told me he loved me, Judy.

Lovers always say that, don't they, Judy?

When we are very young
and very innocent

and very bad

we believe them, don't we Judy?

I went to Paris with him.

He said we were getting married there,
but what's the hurry...

There is tomorrow...
and next week...

...and next month...

And I told him I was pregnant.

Goodbye.

I thought he would come back.

I forgot exactly how much money he gave me.

I think you are joking!

With this money you don't fill your mouth
not even a tooth.

- It's all I have.
- It's not enough.

Can you give me a job here?
I will work hard.

I already have too many employees.

Your room is paid for
only until tomorrow morning.

I know how you could
make some money

It's not what you think.

He's a photographer.
Serge.

He's fat, lazy and drinks too much,
but he pays his models well...

...if you have a well made body
under that overcoat.

Now turn to me.

Come back! Come on!

Facing me!

Now a shy look...

Not! Not ashamed.
Shy.

Now angry.

Contemptuous.

Pucker your lips a little.

Pucker your lips a little.

Not too much. Not.
Not too much.

Now put on your hat.

Move your body!

Come on!

Make it wanted!

Make me want it.

Make me able to kill for him.

was i ok

You said 200 francs.

Are you hungry?

Not.

Liar!

200 francs.

This is the look I wanted.

Now you look at me the way I wanted.

Oh, you don't trust Serge, do you?

I do not trust anyone.

I do not have anymore.

Don't do that.

Don't make such a drama.

He knows what he's doing.
He's a real doctor.

rest here
but not for long.

Go home, but stay in bed for 24 hours.

Let's go.

If bleeding starts,
call a doctor.

Immediate.

Your room is rented.

I paid you for it this morning.

You paid for something else.

Look!

Take your things
and go out.

You can't... I'm sick.

I don't run a hospital.

No room left.

If you run out of money, leave!

how is that

Terrible.

Try to look a little more provocative.

Is that provocative? Um!

You didn't complain before.

If Picasso had painted you,
you would have been a bowl of fruit.

This is better?

Or do you want me to...

What is this?

Is enough.

I hate to stop now.

I'm tired, so we stop.

When can we continue?

When I feel like it.

Don't keep doing this, Lili.
Not worth it.

That's what I decide.

Now you're grown up, Lili,
and it's not nice.

Do you know the Comtesse de Chazalle?

We've met.

I know she likes to gather in her palace
rich and famous people.

So, I understand...

You are rich and I am famous.

Lili, listen to me!

- I have more life experience.
- Do you really?

You did nothing but
to hurt yourself, my dear.

- Are you bored of me?
- Of course not.

I'm just trying to tell you that...

I'm bored with this yacht.
I'm bored of your friends.

Good!

Good...

Where do you want to go?

Monte Carlo, Nice, Sofia?

- Chazalle Castle.
- Lily? Not.

This weekend.

- Abdullah!
- Maxine!

- Is Queen Sara not with you?
- Not.

He is in Sydon with our son.

This is just a quick visit
and unofficial in Paris.

Fortunately, I was informed.

I thought you didn't like them
many people around you

so there will be only two other guests.

Joe Sweener - the shipping magnate...

Oh yes. He carries a part
from our oil.

And he brought Lili with him.

Lily?

The movie star.
The new Greta Garbo.

I understand. I always wanted to
to satisfy my old desires.

And he appeared alone, I don't know where,
on a white horse

and saved our lives.

As far as I remember,
the horse was more gray than white,

and the wagon was going about 5 miles an hour.

Pegan was furious.

How is Pegan?

We don't have a very close relationship anymore...

Not? But you were
such good friends...

Well, school friend...

Don't such friendships last?

I saw her last month at the funeral
Maxine's aunts.

- Is she as stunning as ever?
- Surely.

She married a scientist
eminently, Christopher Swann.

To look at you.

Alexander!

You always talk about it.

How much she loved him.

Isn't that why he started drinking?

Sir Christopher works in the field
cancer research,

and Pegan is very active
in raising money for the foundation.

In this pleasant atmosphere,
can we go to dinner

I saw it 3 times
your last movie

You mean 3 times
daily.

How cute!

Lili always feeds alone
pets.

They also feed on fantasies.

I drink to it.

And I.

Alexander!

Are you abstinent, Your Majesty?

As a Muslim, I must.

But as a man,
I worship in honor of Lili.

- For Lili!
- For Lili!

Some governments take too long.

That foundation you mentioned...
I would like to know more about her.

Do you have a special reason?

Yes.

I know why.
They do a good job.

My company made a donation.

You made a donation,
Your Majesty?

I haven't been asked that yet.

Really?

How careless!

What did you say her name was?

Pegan.

I think Pegan should ask them

His Majesty a considerable donation.

Why are we discussing cancer here?

My dear Alexander, I think so
you've had enough wine tonight

I think we should talk
about Lili's new movie.

what is the subject

I never know the subject
treated by my films.

Because of that the way you play
it's so convincing.

He is certainly right.

They tell the truth by lying,
because I don't know what it's about.

And no one knows what will happen
even in life.

Correct?

No doubt, Alexander.

I'm afraid I'm the only one
who does not know your achievements.

Then you have something to look forward to.

I'm sure.

She is a great, great actress.

And how did you become a great, great actress?

Just as you became a king.
Mostly due to luck.

He's right, he's right.

It was my luck.
To be born of royal blood.

what was your luck

Well, some say the camera
he was good to me.

Has life been kind to you, too?

I think my life wouldn't be either
an ideal dinner conversation.

Of course it would.

I want to hear all the details.

All the dirty details?

Anything else. We all want
let's find out, shall we?

Of course.

Undoubtedly.

And the countess wants to hear
the details of the life I had?

Yes, we are all obviously intrigued.

If you insist...

See.

1979...

An excellent year for Beaujolais.

Also a crucial year for Lili.

A year in which I learned to make money,
making love

Payment only in cash and in advance.
And you say it's only the third time.

It's the first time for me.

No man will believe that.
But he'll think it's the third time.

But of course, to make love in privacy
it doesn't look as good

like when you mime
that you do this, for the public.

Okay! All the lights on the bed.

What is this scene about?

"What is this scene about?"

What are all the scenes about?

It would help if I knew.

Not. It would help if
you would take an aphrodisiac.

However, I need it
of a motivation.

There is your motivation.

Everyone on the bed. Teresa!

Come on! Let's get started, Lili!

Cameraman, are you ready?

All right.

Undress completely.

Try to look like you're enjoying yourself
every minute.

Good. Action!

It wasn't one of those
my best roles...

We will serve coffee in the other room.

We plan to build faster ships,
but the price is so fickle.

Maybe it should show up
at the new OPEC conference.

The price of oil affects
and the price of champagne.

- Charles?
- Excuse me!

If Saudi Arabia agreed...

Charles, isn't Alexander with you?

No, I don't know where it is.

Maybe he fell asleep because of the wine.

Look for the boy.

Alexander!

Not in my house!
Not with my son!

She didn't do anything.

- Get out of here!
- Hear me out!

Get out!

Do what he says, honey.

You shouldn't have come here.

Why did you do that, why?

Why not?

Stinking whore!

I want you to leave here tomorrow
early in the morning. Understand?

The first thing you do
early in the morning.

You made her go away.

You kicked her out.

Lower the tone.

You kicked her out
like an ordinary whore.

She's an ordinary whore.

Then why did you invite her here?

Was she good enough for you yesterday?

It was your fancy dress
for your extravagant weekend?

You can't even admit what you did.

Good.

I didn't know she was so ordinary.

- Is he honest enough?
- It's not clear enough.

You are jealous of her.
Recognize.

Don't be childish.

If you want proof
that I'm not a child anymore...

I don't need any proof.

Okay, she's gone.
Everything is over.

No, it's not over, no.
It's only the beginning.

I love her.

And when you kicked her out
you lost me too.

- Alexander.
- I love her and I will be with her.

And no one can stop me.
Not even you.

Alexander.

I met some sex symbols
in my time

but nothing compares to this.

Yes, but can you believe it?

I don't know that, but I know I will sell
a hell of a lot of kids.

You are not worried about
our credibility?

How vulnerable are we?

Total.

We must take full responsibility
for every printed word.

The contract with her is very explicit.

It's the senator's word against her word.
She is a sex symbol.

Who will listen to the senator?

Assuming she will retract
what he told me.

- Why would he do that?
- I don't know, Tom.

I do not know. But
I don't trust her.

- Judy, this thing can be on the top.
- You think I don't know that?

Well, do we print it or not?

Print it!

I am very grateful.
Actually...

I am very grateful.

I returned.

Or rather I should say
that we will both be...

Does it have to be this week?

I understand.

No no no. I just did
some arrangements for speeches.

Yes of course. Why not?

We will make the travel arrangements
and we will let you know. Yes.

And once again, thank you very much.
Goodbye.

Incredible. Guess who it was?

- I'm not trying.
- The Sydon Embassy. Or the era of Saigon?

Sydon?

What trip was it about?

You and me. We were both invited
at the Royal Palace

by no more no less,
King Abdullah himself.

It is very clear that you have already put it on the list
correspondence. Yes my dear?

I didn't do it.

We've heard this before in our work.

Anyway, we are not invited for
to visit the oil fields.

How big do you think it can be?
the donation made by an Arab king?

Did you say they invited us both?

Of course.

And you told them you had other arrangements?

Do not worry. I determined that it works
just one of us.

They are waiting for you this Thursday.

It is impossible.

Pegan, do you have any idea about
how rich are these people?

Abdullah probably could
ensure work for years

with an amount that for him
would be insignificant.

Probable.

Call them and tell them
that I can't go either.

It's too early for that, isn't it?

I can't do it.

Why not? You know about the Foundation
as many as me.

And you are convincing.
People listen to you.

- I can not.
- Give me one good reason.

- That's one.
- No problem.

Alcohol is prohibited in Muslim countries.

I have arrangements too.
I have meetings.

I never want to go again
in that place.

Whatever your reason,
that happened a long time ago.

Welcome, Mrs. Swann.

I guess you don't remember me anymore.

Of course I remember, Ahmed.

Many years have passed...

More than I would like
to admit

Lady Swann, I suppose.

King Abdullah of Sydon?

I hope you had a nice trip.

Very nice, thank you.

Prepare the room.

- I am at your disposal.
- Thank you.

Pegan!

Abdullah.

Not going to make the presentations?

I apologize.
Lady Swann, she's Lili.

I assumed you had met before.

Ah, I don't think so.

I'm sure we would have remembered
if we had met

That's great.

Bravo.

He is very good for his age.

Yes, he had many hours of training.

- Well done.
- Good boy.

She definitely has something.
How to call it:

charisma, animal magnetism,
star allure.

Yes.

I can't figure out exactly her intentions.

I think they are obvious.

Then why would he want you here?

- I'm sure she doesn't want me to be here.
- You're wrong.

You were invited because she
he insisted beside him.

We have no special sponsors
and our foundation does not

own employees in research.

Last year I donated money
for 28 different teams of researchers

from 12 different countries.

Was Sydon one of the countries?

A good question.

Any person involved
in cancer research in Sydon,

ever contacted our Foundation
for help?

Also a good question.

The problem is, the cancer has been attacked
on several fronts.

We believe that all serious research
they must be helped.

Unfortunately, for this
it takes a lot of money.

I find that admirable.

Sure.

More important is that it was done
clear progress.

Wonderful.

And you say that cancer is
killer no. 1 in the world?

Official, no. 2.

Only beaten by heart disease, right?

- Yes but...
- But not in Sydon.

Cancer makes no difference
between nationalities.

But surely it is a disease of the west.

In the Middle East it does not compare to
typhoon or cholera...

or even with... malnutrition.

Your foundation does research
regarding malnutrition?

I would like to explain to you in more detail
between four eyes.

As always, you listened
very carefully.

Now I ask you, what is your opinion?

Western countries have always been
more concerned about their health

than ours.

I ask you what is your opinion,
and you tell me a fact.

I think selfishness
it should start at home.

This is very important to me,

and even more important for
millions of people who suffer.

Undoubtedly.

I humbly suggested only that different people
suffer from different diseases in different ways.

And that it is very clear that there is enough income
from oil to heal everyone.

Lady Swann came here for a donation.

Shall we make a donation to him?

Yes...

A small donation.

A symbolic gesture of our goodwill.

Anything else would be taken for granted
by our people...

and they would have good reasons.

We must take care of our own.

Obvious.

- Ready to take off, sir?
- That's it, captain.

Take off.

Why did you do it?

Here you go?

Why did you sabotage my mission?
last night?

Is that what I did?

You know damn well
that's what you did.

Do not yell at me,
"powerful" Lady Swann.

What you did last night is vicious
hateful and destructive.

And I want to know why you did it.

Good.

I will explain to you.

At least as they explained to me
me different psychiatrists.

They blame different experiences
unnatural, unpleasant.

Like the fact that I was
abandoned by my mother.

I do not know what are you talking about.

One of them claims that
mostly my behavior

it's because I had to show up
in pornographic films.

You ever had to show up
in a pornographic film, lady swann?

You have no idea what that does to him
to a 17-year-old girl?

Her romantic dreams, her self-esteem?

I tried to save them by pretending
that I'm not the one doing this.

And that made them believe
that I could be an actress.

Do you think I could be, Lady Swann?

I have no idea.

But what does this have to do with last night?

Maybe we were playing the theater last night,
maybe i'm playing right now

No, you can't pretend to be someone else,
than who you really are.

You wanted him to invite me.
You arranged everything. Why?

Because I wanted to see you
both together.

Why?

Because I heard about you... and him.
Because once you were lovers.

And he and I are going to be lovers.

Wait!

Wait a minute!

I talk with you.

You have said enough.

What kind of twisted mind do you have?

You've called me enough names.

Good. You saw us together.
And what?

I understand that it has very good taste
in the matter of women.

You and I are similar genres.

At least physically.

I try to imagine you at my age.

And I understood something else.
I saw that he preferred me.

Are you sure?
Are you absolutely sure?

I think the insignificant donation that
your Foundation will receive it

proves enough.

Don't rely on it, Lili.
First love dies hard.

He takes his wife and son from here
to stay alone with me

Lady Swann.

Since you have finished your work here,

I suggest you have already left
when he will return

- Yes?
- Did you call me, Lady Swann?

Yes. I would like to go to London
as soon as possible.

Ask someone to do it
necessary arrangements.

They will be done.
Do you want anything else?

No, thanks.

- Hey what are you doing?
- It is mine. My mother gave it to me.

Stop, please. Stop it!
my hat

darling

Let her go!

Cut! Perfect.

Wonderful, my dear, wonderful.
You were perfect.

It could be much better.

What didn't you like, dear?

It seemed too simple, without
spontaneity, without abandon.

It could have been done better.

Know. But sometimes we have to stop
at quite well.

Can you sign these now?

Did you send the telegrams?

- Yes, exactly as you said.
- Good.

Don't you want to change your mind?

About that scene? Not.

I think it will look good in the moment
in which the assembly will be done.

I was talking about New York.

let me come with you

- Not.
- Why not?

My dear boy, I'm going
to play a very special scene

and it doesn't have to be something to distract me.

what scene What is it about?

It's the most important scene
in which I will ever play.

Maxine! A telegram for you.

Fuck!

I told you we can't have it
trust her.

Now, next on the agenda
it's the new laser machine.

As you know, it's a domain
in which discoveries...

Let me repeat...

It is a field where discoveries occur
almost daily. In America for example.

I must warn you that I am ready

to deny many of the statements
attributed to me in your publication.

Fuck.

It does not specify which publication.

Come on, we both know what he means.

- Why would he?
- Who knows?

Maybe he lied all along.

Names, names, then denies them...
and get double popularity.

- What a woman!
- What an animal!

Look! You do not know her.

No, but I have a pretty clear idea
about how much a New York premiere is worth.

Maybe... 3000 dollars, at a price
of 150 dollars the place.

Hotel Pierre, on the 18th.
Why there? Why on the 18th?

What's up with her dirty mind
this time?

Maybe this time
I should deal with her.

I know a tango with a superstar.

No, this was sent to me.

I still don't understand
what do you want to achieve there?

I won't let her destroy them
our son's life.

You consider the affair with her
it is worse than death.

Oh, you know she does
she is not interested in him.

He did not suggest anything in the telegram.

She wants something, I don't know what,
but i will find out.

Let it pass.

- Hey, Lily!
- What about the senator?

Did you read the last issue of "Lace"?

Can you tell us something about the prime minister?

Not now, sir.

Please, there's no time left.
Stop, please!

Lili honored us with her presence,
but kept silent.

He promised to give us
an interview later,

but we all know that Lili does not respect herself
always the meetings.

Well, the flight from Paris
it was early.

- What happens?
- None of your business.

Everything you do concerns me.

What is this?
Do you have lovers in every city?

Why not?

That's why I need to rest
now. That's why you have to leave now.

We have to make some kind of schedule.

Do I have to say everything twice?

Good.

I'm going out.

I'll be back later.

- Not today.
- But, Lily...

I don't want to be disturbed.
Of Noone.

As you say, my dear.

Get some rest.

The countess is coming from the airport. So much for her
and Mrs. Swann got the message.

- What about Miss Hale?
- Miss Hale too.

They will all be here at 12:30.

Good.

Taxi!

Taxi!

- I have an appointment with Miss Lili.
- Of course. Please come in.

- Make yourself at home.
- Thank you.

Shall I get you something to drink?

Apartment 1, please.

- I am Lady Swann.
- Of course. Please come in.

I'm afraid a mistake was made.
Miss Lili is waiting for me.

There is no mistake.
Would you like something to drink?

Yes please.

do you need to drink

Whiskey and water. Without ice.

You look good, Maxine.

You look good too, Pegan.

I don't understand this mix-up.
I was told to come here at 4:30.

And I was told the same.

There must be a reason for this.
Thank you.

Are you involved in the benefits of the award?

What benefits?

The movie on Avenue.

Oh, of course not.

I came to meet Miss Lili
in a personal matter.

I think we have the right
let's get an explanation.

Surely.

Excuse me.

Well, what is this?
Group therapy?

I demand to be told what is going on.

One moment, madam.

Were you asked to be here at 4:30 sharp?

I wasn't asked, I was told.

This is ridiculous.

My business with Miss Lili
it's a personal problem.

Wait!

Don't tell me what to do!

How about we all shut up?

They're all here, ma'am.

Someone wants to do it
a grand entrance.

Have you introduced yourself to each other?

Oh, that's right.
You already know each other, don't you?

Judy, you have no drink.

Does not matter.

But it's "one for all,
and all for one."

if they drink
you have to drink too.

I prefer not to drink, thank you.

We look forward to finding out,

why were we all invited?
here at the same time.

Of course you are, Maxine.

You don't mind me using your first name
and I call you Pegan and Judy?

I feel like I know each of you individually
very good.

Why all at the same time?

Because that's what we will do
saving time, Pegan.

What we need to discuss, Miss Lili,
I feel that we need to discuss between 4 eyes.

I feel the same way.

But really, you have no secret
one to the other.

Such good friends... please.

Yes, such close friends,
with so much in common.

You didn't bring us here for a reunion.

No, not really.

each of you is here
because each of you wants something...

Something only I can give you.

- Maxine wants...
- Don't look at them.

But they are your friends, Maxine.

You don't care what happens
with Judy's magazine?

Of course he cares.
I care too.

That's better.
Of course you care.

And they want you to continue
precious mission in life.

I wouldn't call it that.

And they want you
keep your precious son.

But only I can do these things.

What's your price, Lili?

My price? You might find it
as being very expensive.

Why don't you say it?

All at their time.

And maybe I won't have anything to do anymore
with Maxine's son.

May be.

And maybe...

And maybe I will recognize every word
which I told Judy.

And maybe I won't.

And Pegan's noble cause,
can benefit from the premiere of my film

or maybe other charities.

I haven't decided yet.

By chance...

Which one of you rascals is my mother?
