Who in the world reads this stuff?

People like you.

What I wonder is, if anybody in the world believes this.

Jane Fonda and Gorbachev.

Isn't she still with, what's her name?

It's too good to be true.

In my years, I have found that sometimes, truth

is more fantastic than what you read here.

I remember, when I was in France during the Great War.

I was on leave from the front.

And as a young man, I felt I had to try to squeeze as much life as I possibly could.

Into those few precious days away from battlefields and death.

What I was looking for was a sweeter, softer kind of adventure.

Oh no, no, Remy, look at me.

I am in love.

Take it easy, Romeo. We've got two whole weeks.

So many girls, so little time.

Finally, your time has come, young man.

It's true. I know the best brothers in Paris.

Maybe it's like you waiting so long.

Taxi!

[Music]

Taxi!

Sounds really something.

No, no, no, no, really same.

Come on, Indy. You'll enjoy your father's dear friends.

So much more after you have had a nice, plump, beautiful woman.

Remy, I told you, they're expecting me. I'm already four hours late.

Besides, my father asked Professor Levi to

ask me to stay with him when I got to Paris.

My father, he just wants to hold Fama right. It's his way of communicating.

Asking your friend to check up on you isn't exactly communicating with you.

I'll get out of it. I'll think of something.

Let them know I'm all right, then figure a way to leave.

That's the right idea. I'll keep the girls warmed up and waiting for you.

Root the same?

[Music]

Okay, Remy, I'll talk my way out of this and meet you tomorrow.

We'll meet at restaurant, should you? At six.

[Music]

Your father writes, when he has his next leave, he will surely go to Paris.

As a cultural center, it is too good to miss.

And he continues, war is a fool's game.

If he hasn't already figured this out, have faith that he soon will.

Any help you may give him in extracting himself from

his obligations will be greatly appreciated by me.

You may inform him that I greatly encourage him to renew

his educational pursuits at the university of his choice.

He need no longer concern himself about my view in this matter.

I don't have to go to prison.

Thank you, my dear friend, for your kindness in helping with

this most difficult personal conflict with great appreciation.

What reply shall I pass on to him?

Well, I'm surprised he gave up on Princeton.

I am grateful for his concern and I'm fully aware of the

insanities of war, but I cannot abandon my duties here.

I'm sorry.

I'm sure he will be, too.

I'm sure he will be relieved to know you are so healthy.

I'm sorry.

Please, don't worry. I did it. It's all right.

It's all right. Please.

In any case, we have such a marvelous week planned for you.

Tomorrow, a marvelous lecture at the Ministry of Science.

And then a tea filled with all sorts of exciting,

marvelous people, including the Minister of Agriculture.

Well, it sounds just marvelous.

But I must tell you the truth of it is I've been given a special assignment

and I have to stay with the Belgian corporal with whom I'll be working.

I'll try to spend as much time with you as I can, but unfortunately I'll

have to spend most of my time studying the insanouts of this assignment.

Oh, Henri, what a shame.

We were so looking forward to your staying with us.

I'm afraid I've been told to barrack under the flea market.

And we were so wanting to show you our barrack.

Well, my dear, it is wartime, you know.

But at least you will do us the honor of

accompanying us this evening to a special gathering.

It's a birthday party.

For the undersecretary to the Minister of Foreign.

He'll be 65.

Extraordinary that he is 65. He doesn't look a day over 60.

He bikes every day.

Oh, Henri, you simply must come.

Permit us to tell your father we spent at least one evening with you.

They always have a wonderful tropical fruit punch.

Well, it sounds just swell.

Of course, I'd love to join you.

Well, of course it's difficult to get fruit at this time of year. Any kind of fruit.

Yes, well, and especially now.

Yes, there is a vow. Don't you agree?

Yes, there is a war.

But you can still get lovely figs at the south end of Rue de Saint-Père.

Well, we can't expect to get lovely figs.

Who's that woman over there?

My darling.

That, my dear Henri, is the infamous Mata Ari.

She is a scandalous so-called performer.

She's an artistic dancer, my love.

Dancer my eye.

She prances around taking off her clothes. I hardly call that artistic.

In some sophisticated circles, her art.

Have you ever seen her dance, my boy? She's quite impressive.

No, but I've seen her picture on postcards.

She's much more beautiful in person.

Young man, I strongly advise you against getting involved with women like that.

Wherever soldiers go, women like that seem to follow.

Ah, Your Excellency, here you are.

Happy birthday. May I present our young friend Henri Défense.

Just returned from the front, a Belgian patriot of American origins.

How do you do, sir?

A great pleasure, Corporal Défense.

May I introduce my dear friend, Madame Mata Ari.

My pleasure, madam.

And mine.

I don't know if I like museums very much.

I mean, it's just so long I can stay looking at pictures.

I marvel at people who stand looking at a canvas for hours,

and so they're finding some new bit of truth.

I don't know. There are some pieces I could look at for days.

Only because they are scantily clad,

and reveal some tantalizing bit of anatomy.

Have you been to the Louvre yet?

Many times.

[♪♪♪].

I'll see you later.

Goodbye, my darling.

[♪♪♪].

Oh, it's here.

Reading a book at the party.

Oh, no, I've, um...

Come on, read me something.

It's in Greek.

Read it to me.

[♪♪♪]

First in Greek, then in English.

[♪♪♪]

The goddess Artemis stood under the archways,

the moonlight shining above her.

It loses a little something in the translation.

And how do I know that's what he says?

He could be lying to me.

Why would I do that?

To impress me.

How am I doing?

A young, handsome man with no breast, no braids.

Seems slightly out of place here.

No more than the goddess Diana walking among the mortals.

I've seen the palace dances of Raj and Punjab,

and they don't compare to your extraordinary gift.

You've seen me dance?

Well, of course. I was captivated.

Oh, flattered.

Which dance did you see?

Oh, the one with the veils.

The veils?

Well, it was something like veils. Anyway, I...

I was captivated.

You look hungry.

Have you eaten?

No, not really.

They have a most extraordinary chef at my hotel.

He makes a soufflé.

It's as light and sweet as...

a flattery.

Will you join me for dinner?

I insist.

What about your undersecretary to the minister of war?

Oh, yes. Well,

I must go on from here with my friends to another engagement.

But I'll see you back at my hotel at, say, 11 o'clock.

All right. Swell.

Perhaps I'll have something, Rick, there for you to read.

Or French. Perhaps.

Okay.

I mean, swell.

Oui, monsieur.

Henry de Fonts from Adam Hari?

Ah, yes.

You're her nephew, I believe.

Oui, mon moment, Monsieur de Fonts.

Yes, yes.

Madame, telephone to say you are coming and has instructed us

to have you wait in her room.

Front, please escort Monsieur de Fonts to suite 24.

Mermashir.

Please.

[somber music]

Who was that?

Monsieur Henry de Fonts,

nephew to Madame Hari.

[somber music]

[somber music]

[somber music]

[somber music].

[somber music]

[somber music].

Oh, dear. Are you all right?

- I'm all right. - Did you eat your head?

I guess. What happened?

You fell.

I don't remember.

I had such a wonderful time last night.

Really?

Oh, I hope you forgive me. I didn't mean to make you wait so long.

Yeah, well, I made the best of it.

I suppose it's too late for dinner.

Are you still hungry?

Yeah, I guess.

Actually, I'm starving.

Good. Let's have breakfast together.

Wait a moment.

So I danced through the deserted temple,

naked in the moonlight,

intoxicated by the smell of exotic spices.

that fill the warm night air.

Till I stumbled.

and I found myself sprawled in front of the master,

Yogi Buju.

He seemed to be so furious that he was unable to speak.

He dragged me by the head to the holy residence,

but I was sure I was going to be beaten.

and most likely expelled.

Why didn't you run away?

Well, I was my teacher, and I was very young.

His power over me was very, very strong.

Well?

Well, what?

Well, what happened?

He threw me onto the floor and proceeded to take his clothes off.

I was mortified.

I ran away and never returned.

Later I heard he quit the order

and went to work making moving pictures in Singapore.

When I was fighting in the Mexican Revolution,

there was a Japanese cameraman there from Singapore.

Mmm.

Maybe that was him.

It seems men always take advantage of women.

Why is that?

I can certainly see what is with you.

You are truly beautiful.

Thank you.

But so often men are old, vulgar,

and unattractive.

Then it can be so distasteful.

Mmm.

On the other hand, men can be young,

attractive, charming,

and can be...

What?

Can make it very difficult to say no.

And what would make it impossible to say no?

A sudden feeling of touch.

Like this?

That's the touch.

Well?

I... What?

This.

Oh.

You mean this?

That... this.

Your youth is so intoxicating.

You're making fun of me.

No, believe me.

No, don't.

What matters is how you feel to me.

So alive, so full of possibilities,

so untouched by...

I mean,

you don't seem to have been brutalized by all this horrible fighting.

It's a slaughter.

We've had so many killed.

The Germans don't know how weak our lines are.

A smart boy like you should run spread to Africa.

I hear that the war is much safer there.

I think it's much safer right here in your bed.

Only for you, I think.

[Music].

I hope you will remember me.

Remember you?

I'm gonna be with you.

Look at you, talk with you, hold you.

Do that.

Make the world go away.

I can do that.

Come now. Take me out.

I want to walk in Paris with you.

The war seems like a lifetime ago.

That's good.

I wonder if any of my friends were killed since I've been away.

What a horrible thought.

You must push all of that from the line.

Imagine that the war doesn't exist.

But what good would that do?

That's a lie.

What's true is what's happening now.

On this park bench between us.

For all we know, the war could have ended and we just haven't heard about it.

[Music].

What is it? Is something the letter?

No, nothing. I'm feeling wonderful.

Is that all?

It's difficult to put into words.

Tell me. Tell me you love me.

[Music].

Okay, I love you.

Love you too.

The war isn't over.

Now you're still building this world.

I'll show you.

[Music]

[Music]

Here people are striving to create.

Not destroy. I love that.

Not death and destruction. But beauty.

Not ugliness.

I would love to do something like this.

To create something people will remember.

Look at and talk about.

That's why I dance.

To make a little something.

For love.

I love life.

Do you think they love each other?

I don't know. I think everyone here loves one another.

How do you know for certain?

Because of this life glass. And that's what a life glass is for.

[Music]

I do love you.

Stay with me this evening.

Time passes so prickly with you.

I want to stay. I want to believe me.

But I must attend this little dinner party this evening.

After dinner then?

After dinner. Definitely.

Hey, don't look so sad.

It's not so long.

[Music].

I miss you.

[Music].

Remy.

Hey, where have you been?

Sorry, I got here as quickly as I could.

Indy, this is Jean-Pierre.

This is Collette. This is my great friend Indy.

One small cup of soup please.

So you weren't able to get away from your father's boring friends?

Things made it more difficult for me to get away than I first thought.

You must sidestep these obligations of yours.

Life is passing you by.

Looks like it hit you in the face.

I was dancing on the piano.

On top of the piano.

Yes, but it didn't last.

You took away our beautiful music.

You but not.

Sounds like the hallmark of a pretty grand party.

You've got to get away.

I'm trying but it's not going to be easy.

Besides, I'm having a pretty good time.

Good time doing what?

Well, shopping I guess.

Oh, dear.

Watching the boats down by the river.

Feeding the birds.

Boy, what has happened to you since yesterday?

You're having a great time feeding the birds?

He's fallen in love.

Oh, no.

Look in his eyes.

I've seen that look many times.

That glow.

You fall in love again?

No, not exactly.

I mean, it's not like it was with Vicky.

I'm not really in love.

He's in heat?

[laughter]

Who is she? What is she like?

She's incredible.

They all are. What else?

Incredible is enough for the moment.

Too bad that moment doesn't last.

Hope I'm not late.

Hello?

Hello?

Hi.

"From Adahari, my gorgeous one.

"With all my love, Count Von Klaus.".

[bell ringing].

Oh, Indy, darling.

I lost all track of time.

I hope you forgive me.

It's dawn.

Where in blazes have you been?

I'm sorry, but it was simply dreadful.

A horrible evening, and I couldn't get away.

You said 11. It's now 6 o'clock in the morning.

Indy, please don't be angry with me.

I'm so tired.

Who are you with?

That is none of your business.

We've known each other 48 hours.

How do you think that entitles you to come in here and try to take over my life?

You're taking over my life?

I've been hanging around here for eight hours, waiting for you.

Then let's not waste more time arguing.

Come on, don't be a bully.

Come here. Forgive me.

I'm not being a bully.

You're cute when you're angry.

Don't say that. Puppies are cute.

What should I say then?

How can you ask me to spend the night with you

and then you go off and spend the night with someone else?

I can't expect me to throw up everything for you.

Don't you see how unreasonable that is?

I'm being unreasonable?

I had such an unpleasant night.

You know I wanted to be with you.

The only way I got through the evening.

was knowing at the end of it I could see you.

Now you're spoiling it.

Don't be this way.

Don't be mean.

I'm not. I... Not what?

I don't remember.

Hmm.

Hmm.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

Henry.

I need your help today.

Huh?

I have been forced to move out of my country house.

Such a dreadful, depressing ordeal.

And I have to put all my things in storage.

Oh, my dashing young corporal.

Won't you help a dazzling distress?

How could anyone say no to you?

Some manitch.

You love my house. It's so charming.

Why are you giving it up then?

I couldn't afford it now.

It's far too expensive to maintain.

[♪♪♪]

Hi.

Welcome.

Come in.

This place is gorgeous.

Oh, yes, but, you know, it's too big for me now, and I don't need it any longer.

You might seem a little distant at first.

Maybe severe.

No, intimidating.

I guess people find my father intimidating, but we're actually quite close.

Oh, you're lucky.

My father and I never really understood each other.

She looks just like you.

Well, perhaps because it is me.

I thought you grew up in Java.

I couldn't have said that.

Somehow you must have got the wrong impression.

Marguerite, you changed your name.

I've changed a lot.

You never understood why people change their names.

It's Harry Difons. Your real name?

Not exactly.

When I lived in Java, they called me "Mata Hari."

It means "Eye of the Day."

And in my mind, they suited me more than Margalit.

Mar-galit.

It's the name of someone who would lead a quiet, ordinary life in Holland.

But Mata Hari...

Mata Hari is the name of someone who would travel the world

and have royalty seat at her feet.

You are a very nice young man.

You have a lot of friends.

Oh, these.

These are the friends of my past.

And you are the friend of my present.

You're only friend?

Oh, my special friend.

At this moment, you are the most important person in my life.

How long is this moment going to last?

I don't know. I'm a dancer.

Not a fortune teller.

Are these your costumes?

Yes.

Doesn't look like it covers much.

You never really did see me dance, did you?

Well, actually, no.

I didn't think so.

Look through the box under the window for some records.

Put one on.

Put one on.

Put one on.

Put one on.

Put one on.

Put one on.

Put one on.

Put one on.

What?

Corporal Defence.

That's a strange name.

You're American, are you not?

Sir, I am.

You also go by the name of Henry Jones Jr.

Yes, I do.

It's a question of Indiana Jones.

And also Indiana Jones?

Yes, sir.

Why aren't you using your real name?

What are you hiding?

Nothing.

It says here that you're a Belgian.

Did you lie about that?

Do you realize how much trouble you're in?

I guess not.

Would it surprise you that I suspect you of being a spy?

[ Speaking French ].

Your record shows that you're 22 years of age. Is that true?

You seem a very young 22.

The rigors of war must agree with you.

In the past few days, it seems you've been spending

a lot of time with a woman called Mata Hari.

Is that not true?

I said, is that not true?

Speak up, Corporal Defence.

This is a serious situation you're in.

Have you been spending a lot of time with this dancer, Mata Hari?

[ Speaking French ]

[ Speaking French ].

Yes, I have.

Have you discussed with her any details of your actions at the front?

No!

Did you tell her anything about our troop strength?

No!

Has she discussed with you any of her knowledge of military operations?

No.

Has she asked you to do any favors?

[ Ringing ]

No.

We're in her company. Have you noticed any correspondence?

[ Speaking French ]

Hey, what is all this anyway?

[ Speaking French ]

I'm not delivered to the same.

My advice to you, young man, is to stay away from this dancer friend of yours.

Forgive me, sir, but I really don't think it's

your place to tell me who I can and cannot see.

Take him away!

Comrade Jones, your leave has been canceled.

You have exactly 24 hours to get back to your unit.

What? You can't cancel my leave.

We just did.

And if you're not careful, your situation could get much worse.

Grace missed.

[ Music ].

Where have you been?

I came back here. You were gone.

I was worried about you.

Were you afraid that something happened to me or that I was with somebody else?

Were you with somebody else?

I was in jail!

They said I was a spy. I thought I was gonna face a firing squad.

What?

How did this all happen?

I was taken in and questioned.

By whom?

The police. They think you're a spy for the Germans.

That's ridiculous.

Why do they get these absurd ideas?

Maybe because you're sleeping with the Minister of War for a start.

How dare you!

You've been following me.

Yeah, well, I'm not the only one.

The police have been watching you, too.

Please, I know that.

They're thinking that I'm a spy is perfectly ridiculous.

This is serious. You're in a lot of danger.

I have too many Prince Charmings and places for anything to come of it.

It's precisely because you have so many friends

in high places that something will come of it.

I could be a spy if I wanted.

But I'm not.

I make more money dancing.

I can't believe you kissed that old goat.

How could you say you love me and not trust me?

You've been lying to me.

You don't love me.

You've just been using me for your own vanity.

When you said you love me, was that true?

I mean, really true from your heart.

No, not exactly.

So you've been lying to me.

And that's all right for you, not for me?

And why did you tell me if it wasn't true?

Because it's what you wanted to hear.

And it's not as if I don't care about you. I do.

What you care about is the pleasure I give you.

I'm so much older than you.

I've had so many lovers.

And what would be the point of telling you this?

I like you, and I don't want to make you unhappy.

If you wanted it to be so wonderful,

why couldn't you have waited till after I'd gone to sleep with him?

I never promised you anything.

You haven't any claim on my fidelity or my life, when we're not together.

I thought what we had was special.

Yeah, it was special.

Until you destroyed by following me.

You left me here to rot while you went and had a

rendezvous with the Minister of War. Who's married?

Just an old friend.

Yeah, very old and very rich.

It's not that old.

Yeah, but I guess it pays the rent, right?

I will not be judged by a jealous little child.

Your life is a lie, an exotic dancer from Java.

You're nothing but a prostitute.

You're nothing but a sad little boy masquerading as a man.

Your life is filled with deceptions, little boy.

You're playing soldier.

You're playing lover.

You're playing the self-respecting jealous husband.

But you're just playing.

You're too young to know what you're doing.

And at the end, you're just a sad little fool.

They're sending me back to the front in the morning.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, too.

Why don't we just sell ourselves our illusions?

Life is a little bit easier if we don't always look at the hard truth.

[music playing]

As I crossed the street, I knew that I would probably never see her again.

Little did I know that in less than a year,

she'd be blowing a kiss to the firing squad.

Was she really a spy?

I don't know. No one knew for sure.

I don't think she even knew.

To the end, she thought that one of her prince charmings would come and rescue her.

I'll always be sorry. It couldn't have been me.

Next, from the young Indiana Jones conference.

You be careful.

No, I would say not.

Only will you marry me?

Yes.

You might be interested in making a separate piece?

Are you here as an interviewer or a ministry?

The document, where is it?

Who told you?

He works for the Germans. I think he's one of your group.

Do you honestly think I could spend the rest of my life with you?

I never want to see you again.
