- Would you like a glass of wine?
- No, thanks.

And I want to.

The one who offers something,
wants it himself.

What are you reading?

An emerald was stolen from one hostess.

And, of course,
they suspected the maid.

- She didn't do it?
- She did. So what?

They need something again!

So, let's see the news...

- What did they want?
- I forgot to put down the cognac.

DESIRE
based on the play of the same name by Sacha Guitry

She could have taken it herself, but
she has to lecture me!

And they want us to love them!

What did they talk about?

About us, of course!
What else can they talk about?

When you walk in,
they always talk about us.

If they shut up, they were talking badly,

If they continue, they are teaching us.

This is the ninth house where I work,
and I can tell you frankly:

masters always talk
about money or servants,

When they don't fight with each other!

And the lonely gentleman,
for whom you used to work...

He married the next maid
maid after me.

- I didn't?
- No.

I found out a week ago.

- Is she ours?
- Belgian!

Why didn't he marry you?

He wasn't thinking about marriage at the time.
Or she frightened him with the pregnancy.

- You left him too soon.
- I stayed with him for a year and a half.

And what did he give besides his salary?
Twenty francs each time!

I can see right through any host.

They are too pompous,

think women like them

And they always say:
>

Deep down, they are lechers,
and that's not love.

Sometimes they marry you.

So you don't have to pay anymore.

- What did our people talk about?
- They only talk about leaving.

So?

She said she was
We're leaving tomorrow anyway.

Without a valet?
I'm not going!

- Don't start.
- Don't get excited! You're kidding!

Do you think I'm going to Deauville
without a valet,

to clean up besides the kitchen
in the hallway, dining room, and washing dishes?

And I, in addition to cleaning and dressing madam,
I have to set the table?

No! But there is hope...

Which one?

It was said that the valet
the valet was supposed to come in the evening.

It's ten o'clock!

Someone like Emile,
she will never find.

That's not what she wants.

Watch out!

To take a cigar once in a while.
you can, but not every day!

- Yeah, he got cocky.
- And he drank from the neck!

I, for one, never use
her powder puff.

If you need to, you put aside
some powder in your powder box.

It's disgusting to use her puffer.

Yes, it's disgusting.

I'm going to go put away the liquors,

or they're going to do something,
and it's time for us to rest.

- How do you like my coffee?
- It's amazing.

- What do they say?
- Disgusting.

Well, that's too much.
Bad is true.

How's the stew?

Done.

She wants us to eat before them.
All the worse for her.

And now we're going to prepare
the bill for her...

This is not good!

- What?
- Swearing.

Now he says we're not going,
until we have a valet.

He says that in Deauville.
he's going to have a lot of guests.

And you would say our opinion.

If she insists.
it is useless to argue, he will give in to her.

- What if it's the other way around?
- He gets angry.

- I have two questions for you.
- Go ahead.

- First, 7 and 8...
- Most of the time you get 1 5.

Secondly, do you think
they love each other?

Don't make me laugh!

They have many reasons to be together.

She wants to marry him.
and has even given up the theater to do it.

The theater hasn't lost much!

If all the talentless people leave!

There shouldn't be many
reasons to be together.

If there is more than
for one reason, it is not love.

- How clever you are!
- Yes, very smart.

- Will she marry him off?
- When he falls out of love with her.

Listen...

It's too early for mine.

- Madame Clery?
- It's here.

I came to introduce myself.

- Am I late?
- You're right on time!

Then don't shout like that.

I'll tell the landlady.
Who sent you?

Employment Office,
where she applied.

In the evening I was informed,
that I could come before eleven o'clock.

I think I came on time.

Great, they're waiting for you.
I'll tell them you're here.

- Is that you?
- Wait a minute.

- How's work here?
- Very well, why?

Tell me right away,
if it's a bad place.

He's right.

This is a very good place,
you can work here in peace.

- What else?
- Wait a minute.

- How many of us are there?
- Servants?

Me, the maid, you and the chauffeur.

Okay, how many are there?

There's one of them. So to speak,
poor lonely woman.

- Is that okay?
- Maybe.

- Did I go?
- Yes...

Not done yet?

What a hurry!
What's her hurry?

To see if it's right for me,
I want to know, am I right for you?

Yes!

I'll tell you,
I don't like trouble.

Would you gladly accept me?

Of course.

You can speak openly.
If you don't like me, tell me.

It's better to tell right away,
than to cause trouble later.

You understand that one man
can't withstand the onslaught of two women.

Why do you say that?

Maybe you want,
a woman to work here.

No, not at all!

It's good that you're so sure.
You can go now.

Thank you!

What a rush!

Have a seat, please.

No, thank you.

- Don't you have a job right now?
- It's been a week, why?

Tomorrow we have to go to Deauville.
The landlady has a villa there.

- Are you satisfied with that?
- Very much. I've never been there.

Does the hostess ask for references?

- Yes. You don't have any?
- I have everything I need.

- The mistress is waiting for you.
- Coming.

I trust you with my hat,
It is very dear to me.

When I told them about you, they gasped!

So they know me.

- Ask them for 500 francs.
- I expect 800.

- Gotcha!
- I've got you!

Even if you like him,
what's wrong with that?

And Victor?

It's not the first time you've cheated on him.

- I never cheated on Victor.
- What were you doing with Marcel?

- With the former chauffeur.
- Ah, Marcel, the former chauffeur.

You remember, and I forgot it.
It wasn't serious.

In any case,
he's better than Marcel.

- Is he ugly?
- I didn't say that.

Chamberlains don't appeal to me.
And a man without a mustache is a clown.

- I like chunky ones.
- Everyone has his own taste.

- Listen, what is it?
- You won't. He's coming!

- Already!
- Are you afraid?

Fool!

- Well, how is it?
- All right.

- Did you get it?
- I think so.

They asked me to wait here.

She will call your former mistress.

- What do you think?
- They often do.

Why did you tell me
that she was a single woman?

- Because she's single.
- And Monsieur, who is with her on the >?

This is her friend.

You see, friend...
But they live together!

He eats dinner almost every day,
but he goes home to sleep.

Only in Deauville
they live together.

- So she's not a whore?
- No, no!

I didn't say that.
You can't say things like that!

You can't call her that.

That's right.
She looks very good.

- Doesn't it look like she was at the theater?
- Was she at the theater today?

- She's an actress.
- No way!

Until recently, her name was on the posters.

So she wants to get married?

- You guessed it right away!
- These things are easy to spot.

The owners are funny.

They call to themselves, they ask
They ask questions, consider...

And everything becomes clear to us,
We know who we're going to,

But they don't know who they're taking!

He says it right!

- Why does this happen?
- Because...

Their questions matter more
than the answers we give.

- I don't really understand.
- Neither do I.

It's hard to talk about
how you feel.

My point is that the one
who asks the question reveals himself,

and the responder remains closed.

He's watching what's going on,
and listens, and that's what counts.

You don't think so? No?

- Do you understand?
- Yes, do you?

Beginning.

What a sweetheart.

She's a cutie.

See if she's calling
she's calling my ex-mistress.

My pleasure.

- I don't give you a break.
- Not at all.

Did she make a
a good impression?

The maid?
Yes, she's very nice!

No, mistress.

The hostess, too.
She has beautiful eyes.

But I prefer
Full brunettes.

- She called, but there was no answer.
- Very well, thank you.

One thing surprises me.
We've been talking...

One thing surprises me:
This man looks like Montignac.

Are you kidding me?

I've only seen him in pictures.
He looks amazingly similar!

- Why are you laughing?
- This is Montignac.

- Minister?
- Yes!

No wonder he's
so much like him!

- Is that the minister?
- Yes!

That's what a minister should be.

Five years ago I was moonlighting at the house
of the former President of the Council,

who hosted
ministers, senators.

You should listen to them!
This one seems to be decent.

He is very polite.

Do you call him >?

Through and through, of course!

It must be you!

In a hurry, as always.
Very nice!

- Who did you work for before that?
- Countess Deprzynska.

- Englishwoman?
- Algerian.

I married a Russian,
but he died five years ago.

Wonderful man, a giant!

On the day he died.
he was as healthy as an ox!

Who would have thought that...

- What did he die of?
- Got hit by a car.

Before I could even begin to tell you about him.
and he's already dead!

- Did you leave on your own?
- From that lady? Yes and no.

We decided to break up,
as written in her recommendation.

A good recommendation?

Great, as always.
The hostesses are always pleased with me.

It's okay!

- Did she get through?
- No, but she's picking you up!

And she didn't believe it!

- You made a good impression.
- That doesn't surprise me.

You can stay here,
to leave tomorrow morning.

Yes, sir!

- Do you have pajamas?
- There's everything you need in the bag.

I grabbed it because my hotel
is behind the Gare de Lyon,

We have to leave early tomorrow,
and it would be better to spend the night here.

And save money.

That too.
Where is my room?

On the second floor,
just like in Deauville, next to mine.

And Madame Cook?

Madame cook is married
and does not spend the night in the mansion.

Wow!

Three years ago she married Sgt.

- He's three years old?
- Stupid, three years old!

That would be funny:
the little adjuster

With a little stick
and a little whistle!

Honestly!

Congratulations!

Your room is above us. You can
come and go as you please.

- Does the landlady let you go out at night?
- I don't think it's any of your business.

I wouldn't want to disrupt the routine.

You can't stop a man from going out!

Aren't you a womanizer?

- A man is always a man.
- Yes, on occasion.

As far as I'm concerned, we're spending the night
in the house alone: the landlady, you and I.

- Yes. I'll make your bed.
- Allow me, I'll do it.

Later on, you'll be doing
it yourself, but today I'm going to help you.

- Are you leaving now?
- Yes, Victor is waiting for me outside.

There he is. Coming!

But if you want me
to stay while you prepare the room...

Don't keep your husband waiting.
I'll guard your kitchen.

I'm going to ask the landlady,
if she's going to go to bed.

- So, good night, Monsieur...
- Desiree.

- Good night, Monsieur Desiree.
- Good night, madame...

- Adele.
- Adele, how charming!

Adele, I hope
the three of us can get along?

I hope so, too.
I didn't offer you a glass!

Thank you, I don't need it.

Allow me to write a little
letter on the corner of your desk.

- Of course!
- Because...

- I'm sorry, did I hit you?
- No.

- She dropped her hat!
- My hat! Thank you.

Here's everything you need:
Ink, pen and paper.

Thank you.

There you go.

Sorry.

Goodbye again, Monsieur Desiree.

Goodbye, Madame Adele,
and thank you very much.

Coming!

The little sergeant is worried!

- Are you coming, Adele?
- Yes, I'm coming.

00:16:07.318
Luckily,
I quickly found a new place...>>

I'll have time to make your bed.
She calls.

- My former mistress?
- Yes.

- One pillow?
- What?

- One pillow?
- Yes, I have one head.

Calling.

Perhaps someone came.

Where are the calls?

I have to call the maid.

This must be the hostess.

Madeleine!

I'd go, but,
Maybe she's naked.

Madeleine!

You can't have her screaming like that.
We have to do something for her.

Madeleine, where are you?

Madam, she is preparing my room.

Ah, your room... Я...

What, madam?

I got a call from a friend who
I asked to find a valet,

And she found it for me...
today.

That's why I'm a little
uncomfortable in front of you.

If madam doesn't want
to keep me in her service,

Let him tell me that.

Let Madame not be ashamed
to tell me the truth.

How... But...

Madame must have called
my former mistress,

Who probably didn't recommend
her to take me in.

Not at all...

Let me tell madam,
that she does not know how to lie.

You would be doing me a favor,
if you tell me the truth.

This lady continues to sabotage me,
there is no point in her recommendation.

The recommendation is excellent,

But she personally gives a bad review.

I understand,
that all the hosts are in solidarity.

But you can't stop a man
from earning his own living.

This week she
did it twice!

I've had enough!

She said to Madame, why did I leave?

She didn't say, but she made it clear...

Did that scare you?

Yes.

Then I dare not insist.

It only remains for me to express
Madame my respects.

Goodbye, madam.

And I wrote to my sister,
that I had already found a job...

I'm very sorry, believe me.

Not like me,
Madam, I swear to you.

Goodbye...

...Madam!

Would you mind telling me exactly
what this lady said about me?

I don't feel comfortable talking about it.

You would be doing me a great favor.

Madame should understand:
it's better to know what people say about you.

She didn't say directly,
she only said that...

- What?
- Whatever I told you.

I swear on my sister, madam,
that this stays between us!

She said that you
committed a misdemeanor.

Misdemeanor?

So serious,

that she was forced
to fire you.

- Is that it?
- Yes.

- Did she say what the misdemeanor was?
- No.

- Then what was madam thinking?
- My goodness...

Madame thought I had stolen something...

- Yes.
- It is!

I don't want to be thought of
I don't want anyone to think that about me!

But if that's what she's doing
with me, so much the worse!

She said that if you live alone,
then a man like me is dangerous.

Right.

- And you thought of jewelry!
- Yes.

How sneaky! I will not tolerate,
that they might think that of me!

Whatever happens!

Madam, this transgression...

She's calling it a misdemeanor
not at all what you think it is.

And that's what happened.
I'll tell you what happened.

One evening she and I
were alone with her.

And then, my God...
it happened!

That is my transgression.
I've said it all.

I don't understand!

You don't understand,
what I wanted to say?

No.

I told Madame that we were
in the apartment alone, the Countess and myself.

So?

Well, imagine what a man
a man and a woman can do,

when they are alone.

Yes, what Madame
just now thought, has happened!

We did it, and then
we did it on the kitchen table.

Madame knows it doesn't happen,
if one of the two doesn't want to.

The lady can talk:
>.

Everyone knows what that means!

And when the lady asks:
>, -

she knows exactly what we're doing!

I'm not saying I was right,
and I'm not making excuses for myself.

But is it possible to summon
the valet to the bedroom at midnight

under the pretext that the cord
to draw the curtains doesn't work.

Yes, yes, yes, madam!

I heard the phrase:
>.

She checked!

I don't know if she's sorry,

But it will teach me a lesson.

Now I know,
how not to get into such situations.

Let me tell you,
that with someone like me,

Madame is less at risk than with one
who has not committed such a transgression.

Until you make a mistake,

one cannot be sure of oneself,
but having learned the consequences of stupidity,

I don't think I want to repeat it!

But if Madame
doesn't trust me, I don't insist.

Once again.
my respects, madam.

Goodbye, madam.

I hope she was honest with you,

That I was a good servant?

- Yes, she said that.
- I know my job!

Yes.

Honesty, cleanliness,
The table setting is impeccable.

I am the son, grandson and great-grandson of servants.
An impeccable family.

My grandfather was the valet
Archbishop of Paris,

my father served for 30 years
Duchess d'Uzès,

I started out as a boy
with the Marquis de Castellanc.

If madame wishes to know
about my manners, they are impeccable.

I shouldn't be giving advice to madam,

But I think Madame is in vain
to give in to bad thoughts.

- Bad thoughts!
- Yes!

Madame, of course, is not,
as my former mistress.

Madame will scold herself,
if she lets me go.

Madame can leave the thought that
the same thing could happen to her.

I can feel what's going on
In the depths of my soul.

I swear madam can
rely on me!

Madame wants to test me?

Excuse me!
Madame knows what I mean.

I'm talking about
probationary period.

My God, I...

- Madame is not afraid of me?
- No, of course not, but...

Let me tell madam one thing,
that will convince her to take me.

- Yes?
- Yes.

- Which one?
- May I?

All right, I'll say it... straight up.

With me madam has nothing to fear
About what I think...

- Nothing at all!
- Why?

How can I say this to Madame,
without offending her?

Every man has his own taste.

- I'm not your type?
- Exactly!

Okay, I don't want to offend you.
That's fine with me.

- Madame takes me?
- But...

Madam says I'm good for her,
so she thinks I serve her!

I can see it in my eyes.

Let madam say >,
and I will give the good news to my sister.

Madame laughs,
that's a good sign.

- All right, yes!
- Thank you!

I swear madam will not regret
for believing me.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

Well... See you tomorrow...

Desiree.

That's my name.

Okay, see you tomorrow, Desiree.

Madame's scarf...

Madam...

70 and 1 0 - 80, and 4 - 84,
two more terts and a belote.

And your last bribe,
which I had forgotten...

1 44...
What do you say to that?

You're in luck!

Yes, I'm very glad.

You seem to be daydreaming, don't you?

The fresh air after
I was completely intoxicated!

I'm invigorated by the air, the sea...

- Shall we go and rest?
- It's still early.

You don't have to sleep.

- I'm going to hit the sack.
- Already?

- Do you know how many squares I have?
- I have four crosses.

I'm talking about the tiles,
that I have to clean tomorrow.

- You will get very tired.
- Long live my pillow!

- Are they going out tonight?
- They didn't talk about it at dinner.

- Two rings, that's me.
- We're waiting for you, girlfriend.

They must be lying down.

- Madeleine, come undress me.
- Yes, Madame.

- Desiree, your name is.
- Thank you, Madame Adele.

Desiree, you can close up now.
We're going to bed.

Help Mr. Minister undress?

Don't.
Thank you, Desiree.

May I ask if Mr. Minister is satisfied
Mr. Minister with my work?

Very satisfied.

Thank you, Mr. Minister.
Good night, Mr. Minister.

Odette... Odette!

Oh, hole...

Shit!

Shooter! Shit!

I'm here, madam!

Madam!

Desiree!

О! Madam!

Oh, madam!
What a beautiful madam!

You too, Desiree...

Oh, what legs madam has!

Desiree, I don't want to...

Oh, Desiree!

What?

Desiree!

Damn it!

Oh, Desiree!

Calm down! Calm down!
No! It can't be!

No, it can't be!

Desiree!

That's enough!
Stop it, stop it!

What's wrong with you?

- Did you dream something nice?
- You are kind.

- Are we in the way?
- Not at all.

- Are you waiting for them?
- Not really.

All in anticipation!

- You get attached to your masters very quickly.
- Yes.

They are just as human as we are.
You have to be lenient with them.

- You always defend them.
-Yes!

As soon as I enter someone's
to someone, they already belong to me.

- What's so funny?
- Nothing.

- You're making fun of me!
- No!

Go to your pots!

Monsieur is out of sorts!
Come along, Baroness.

After you, Duchess.
Farewell, Marquis.

Goodbye, women.

What made them laugh?
Idiots.

- Did you call me?
- Yes, Monsieur and Madame are here.

Julien, have dinner
and pick us up at ten o'clock.

Did anyone come?

- No. Did madam win?
- She lost.

If you bet
on all the horses, you won't win.

I'll take mine in baccarat tonight.

Cornish will be my partner.

Why not...

Come, Madeleine.

By the way...

Tell me...

- Four devices!
- All right, Mr. Minister.

-Warn Alice...
- Alice?

Adele.

All right, Mr. Minister.

I am happy,
that now you are all mine.

- So much the better, my dear...
- What is it?

Ever since this morning I've been waiting for a moment,
to talk to you.

We haven't been
not a moment alone.

- That's right.
- You're with me... Let's take advantage of it.

What happened?

Look, don't let my questions
don't surprise you.

So...

Wait, wait!

What do you say about Desiree?

- He's flawless.
- Yes, he's terrific.

Besides his virtues as a valet.
what else can you say about him?

What do you want me to say?

- Do you like him as a man?
- I didn't think of him as a man.

Why are you blushing?

- Я?
- Yes.

You embarrassed me.

If you had asked me about Madeleine,
I'd say she's pretty.

Do you want me to say
that I find Desiree no worse than anyone else?

I want you to tell me
what you think without being embarrassed.

I'm not embarrassed...

- But you're getting angry.
- I'm not getting angry!

- Then why the tone?
- I'm so sick of you!

Am I boring you?

That's the first time you've ever said that to me.

I'm surprised it's about the valet.

My question is harmless, but I have
the impression that I offended you.

The question didn't offend me,
but the smile was mocking.

That might not have been to my liking,
but not embarrassed.

Answer, please, dear,
what do you think of Desiree?

I find him
impeccably beautiful. Everything!

Desiree?

Odette, we can't
leave it like this.

You have to be honest,
what you think of Desiree.

- All over again!
- No.

Tell me honestly what
your opinion of Desiree's behavior.

- From what point of view?
- Your point of view.

We would be laughing now,
if you hadn't been embarrassed then.

I'm sorry you got the impression
that I was embarrassed,

I'm sorry that I deprived you
the pleasure of laughing with me.

- Don't you want my kisses?
- I do.

Now instead of a kiss.
I'm going to ask you a different question.

Did you notice in Desiree's look,
in his demeanor,

manifestation of a feeling that you
could unwittingly inspire in him?

I answer you emphatically: >

Never in his demeanor
was nothing but courteous.

Yes...
That's the answer I've been waiting for.

Did you...
notice anything about his behavior?

- It's okay.
- I'm sorry, you were told that...

Nothing!

- Didn't you get an anonymous letter?
- From who?

Have you inquired about his behavior
from the other owners?

No! Now that you've answered,
and I saw how sincere you were...

I'll make you laugh!

Do you remember your dreams?

Dreams? No, never.

Maybe, by chance, you remember,
what you dreamt last night?

No.

That night you dreamed,
that Desiree was...

- No!
- Yes!

You were talking loudly, shouting:

>

Shut up, please!
How awful!

How could this happen to me?

We are not responsible for our dreams.
But put yourself in my shoes...

I can imagine! Terrible!

My God, what thoughts
you might have had!

Thoughts are unpleasant,

Despite the comic
aspect of the story.

- Comic?
- With Desiree, it's funny.

- It got funny.
- Did it?

Yeah, I'll tell you the whole truth.
It's been going on for a week now.

- What are you saying?
- Every night after we moved in.

Your fidgeting regularly
wakes me up.

Don't laugh, I beg you!
It's horrible!

What's wrong with me?

- Nothing.
- No, there is something.

- You're out of your mind!
- It's possible!

No, that's not what I mean,
It's just that you're being haunted

that thought!

Poor thing!
Is it always the same dream?

Always!
At first you resist.

You bet!

Then it gets weaker and weaker...

- And at the end you are very happy.
- Shut up, please!

- I need to see a doctor!
- You don't have to tell that to the doctor!

- Oh, my God!
- What's the matter with you?

His room is next to ours.
What if he heard?

No!

- He might have heard.
- How do you know?

- Let's do an experiment.
- No!

So I can listen in his room,
how you scream...?!

No, it's not funny to me anymore.

I won't sleep next night!

- Stop it.
- I won't sleep anymore!

- Won't you sleep anymore?
- I wouldn't dare, I swear to you!

- What's wrong with you?
- Bingo!

What?

I got it, I got it!
I remembered, I can see everything!

- What?
- My dream!

Yes, yes!

- You really remembered?
- Yes!

So?

No, that's enough, calm down.

- Madame called for me?
- Yes... No, no!

Madame was amused by the singing.

- So you sang?
- Yes.

Weird. Sorry.

He must be fired! Immediately!

- Why?
- After what he did!

He didn't do anything.
He was the one you were dreaming about.

I beg you, let's wait one or two nights.

If this continues, we're going to break up
with him, which would be unfortunate.

He's a valet of the highest order.
This is the first time we've had one of these.

- Felix...
- Yes, dear?

Your attitude toward me has changed.

Why?

I think you think
I've done something wrong.

What nonsense...

Admit that this silly
story has affected you.

It gives me no pleasure.
The first night I was surprised.

And then, when he... when I...
When did it happen again?

On the second night, I got worried.

I was looking forward to the third one.

I wanted to make sure that your nightmares,
despite your pleasure...

...were different from one another.

And I heard you
repeated the same words.

Then I became convinced that it was
something of an obsession.

Just where would you
could this mania have come from?

They say there's no smoke without fire!

But what could have caused
of such regular sleep?

- What reason do you want...
- I'm looking for!

- You say there's no reason...
- No.

Nothing explains
this recurring nightmare.

All right,
let's not talk about it anymore.

Yes, we will!
Put yourself in my place!

- How's that?
- I'm not in the mood for jokes, I assure you.

- What should I do?
- I have to see me in my dreams!

Don't laugh, honey.

How far away is the kiosk where you
where you buy the evening papers?

A stone's throw away, why?

Madame called?

Yes...

- But I called Madeleine!
- Yes, Madeleine.

Indeed, Madeleine made two calls,
only Madeleine left.

- Is Madeleine gone?
- Gone.

I mean, she came out in this...

The place where they take the stains out.

No, don't tell me... To the dry cleaners.

Let's go Desiree!

Do you know the kiosk,
where I buy the evening papers?

What's wrong with you?

What paper do you want, dear?

Not the paper...

Say what?

Let madam say what she wants.

The little blue book,
which is on the left, in the corner of the kiosk.

The little blue book.

- What is it called?
- >.

- Unfortunately, she's not there anymore.
- How?

I bought it two days ago.

If you let me, I'll give you mine.

Thank you. Okay.

- What?
- Okay.

Yes, so far so good, monsieur.
Thank you.

I say, okay, go!

Excuse me, Mr. Minister.
Madam.

- He can hear everything!
- No!

- Yes! He wanted to know
what my dreams meant!

Calm down!
Please calm down!

Better find an explanation,
that interests you.

You have to let the book open and find out
which page he read more often.

Silly!

>!

00:42:05.749
of which he is not yet aware>>.

Disgusting!

Honey, it's silly to take
about books like this. Give it to me.

- Wait, one more page!
- No!

- What have you done!
- What?

- Tear up the page. Rip it out.
It will get worse!

- He'll see that I've been reading.
- I don't care!

Felix, please fire him!

What would he think if we
if we kicked him out for no reason?

In general, I don't care!

How I regret,
that I told you about it!

Take this book away!

What's wrong with this call?

Why does it ring like that?

Careful, you can see,
I'm on the stairs!

Why does it ring like that?

Sorry, I don't know where the button is...
Maybe over there?

Yes, this book was on...

It's ten past nine.
I have to get dressed.

- Why?
- Why how?

You know we're having
Cornish for dinner.

Ah, yes...

- Come kiss me.
- Yes...

You're not really mad at me, are you?

Nothing... go get dressed!

Set the table,
Mr. Minister?

You're already late.
You must be more punctual, my friend.

Being unfair is comforting!

Why does he say that?

He's the one who said not to set the table
the table before ten and a quarter!

It's ten past nine.
They do what they want.

Erotic dreams?!

Desiree, are you here?
Did you make this up?

You have to think of that!

- Can I help you?
- With pleasure!

- Careful, it's uneven!
- Almost even.

You always have almost everything!
You don't care!

I almost don't care.

If you do a better job.
your work, you will love it.

Are you uncomfortable with being helped?

- I don't like your manners.
- My manners?

Your manners, Adele's and yours.

It disgusts me,
when they spit on their masters.

You cannot demand of us the same
feelings for madam as you do.

What does that mean?

- Don't you understand?
- No.

- Can I ask you a question?
- Go ahead.

It's a small thing, but do you remember
what you dreamt at night?

Do I remember,
what I dreamt at night?

Sometimes, why?

Then you shouldn't be bored!

Wait, why did you
asked me that question?

This is the fourth night
you have woken me up with your moans,

that do not allow you to doubt
the content of your dreams.

You don't have to blush like that!

Be careful if you don't want the whole house to know about it,
the whole house to know about it.

Architects building villas,
do not think about it.

Shut up, I beg you!

Don't talk so loud!

Don't be so nervous,
Don't get upset!

It's not your fault, it's like a seizure.

- What are you doing with the fork?
- I don't know.

They say that dreams are false.

Otherwise, I would like to know,
what such dreams mean.

I went to the kiosk for >,

But the day before yesterday the last one was sold.

I see you have it!
Can you let me read it?

No!

- Why?
- It shouldn't be lying around.

- I won't let it out of my hands.
- All right, but hide it.

You're not offended that I said that?

No. But how did you hear me?

- Are you afraid of what I will say to madam?
- You are incapable of meanness.

I'm afraid the owners will hear me.

If they didn't hear yesterday,

they might hear today
If it starts up again.

Imagine this,
they'll hear me calling for Odette...

You call it >.

- Am I talking to her?
- Yes.

Not good at all. Tonight.
I dare not lie down and sleep.

You don't have to put yourself
to such a state, and then...

- What else?
- I can hear you, but not necessarily...

That they can hear me.

Would you like to do one thing?

Maybe that's the way out.

You go to your room,
and I'll go to Madame's bedroom.

Then there's nothing we can do.

Idiot, you talk loud,
and I'll tell you if you can be heard.

- And I thought that we...
- No!

Still, it's a good idea.

- I'm not that bad.
- That's right!

- So, friends?
- Friends. Let's get to work!

Let's see what's missing.
Here you go!

- Are you in love with her?
- Don't say that!

- Why do you dream about her?
- Do we control dreams?

No, but it's a consequence of
of what you think about during the day.

Not at all!

- What does the book say about it?
- Nonsense!

Flowers!
Give them to me!

Thank you.

I run to get dressed.
Silence!

I swear. But do you love her?

You're jealous!

- I don't like valets.
- And I don't like maids!

00:48:21.070
A person's erotic dreams are
evidence of unconscious love,

which he
he doesn't even know>>.

- What are you reading?
- Nothing.

Show me.
Isn't this your book?

- No, Mr. Minister.
- Thank you, Madeleine.

>!

00:48:41.554
are proof
of unconscious love...

...that he
doesn't even know>>

What?
>

- Odette!
- Yes?

What time is the clock in the bedroom?

- It's 9:30!
- Thank you.

If Cornish is in the casino,
when do we have dinner?

- I can't hear what you're saying!
- It doesn't matter!

- What?
- Nothing!

If you can hear from the 2nd floor on the 3rd floor
worse than from the 1st floor on the 2nd floor, good!

I'm ready!

What a beautiful dress!

- Do you like it?
- It's delightful!

- It's a little defiant.
- On the contrary, not enough!

You guys are so funny...

Who is this >?
You have me in the plural?

Men say that a woman
is beautiful when she is dressed provocatively.

Men who think that women
dress for them are naive!

You don't dress for men,
but against women.

But if they put dresses on
for women, they take them off for you!

All the better!

- Will you behave yourself?
- Of course I will!

- And after dinner, shall we go to the casino?
- Yes!

I'm glad you like the dress.

It makes me look like
like a married woman.

- Yes.
- Not really?

- Even too much!
- Why?

I don't see the benefit of it.

Is it unpleasant to have a girlfriend who
men pay so much attention to?

Of course.

Did you see me being courted?

No! And those women in the casinos,
who don't know how to hold themselves?

You wouldn't want me
to be mistaken for a whore?

For a whore? What nonsense!

By the way, who was that variety show actress
we saw the other day?

Jeanne Walren.

There's something about her, isn't there?

- But I'm better!
- How stupid you are!

-And am I better than Madeleine?
- Madeleine who?

The maid!
You said she was pretty.

Yes, especially since,
I've had a short haircut.

You would marry a woman
with a short haircut!

- I'm not thinking of marrying Madeleine!
- No one, including me.

- On you to a lesser extent.
- But why?

Because I love you too much!

- What does that mean?
- It means...

There they are!
It's twenty to ten instead of eight.

- Shit, she's alone!
- No!

It is! One!

It's the same thing every time!

A wife as deaf as a grouse
No one sends her ahead!

He tries in vain to make himself out to be
a wonderful man. He is a boor!

- And she's a bore!
- Unbearable!

- Good evening!
- Oh, there you are!

- How are you, my dear?
- Fine!

- Is Cornish a big dodger?
- Okay.

Your husband is wrong for not being able to
to tear himself away from the card table.

The three of us
to eat an over-dried lamb.

- What did she say?
- Nothing much, dear.

Have a seat, please.

I was talking quite loudly, wasn't I?

- Am I sitting here?
- Yes.

- And this is your husband's place.
- My husband's seat!

- Yes. I heard that!
- I wish it could go on like that!

There will be no soup!

Yes, a very nice beach!

- It didn't last long.
- How tiresome.

I shouldn't have said there wouldn't be any soup.
There will be no soup, she can see that very well.

- I love lobster.
- But this is lobster.

It's a lobster!

Of course, the worse for him!

She didn't understand anything.

Cornish will pay me for it.

I'll send an employee who stutters to talk to him.
an employee who stutters.

When you have a deaf wife,
you have to keep her at home!

Her hearing is getting worse and worse.

- It's from the sea air.
- Perhaps.

It is monstrous to speak in front of her,
without noticing her.

She doesn't care. She's using
to eat for four.

Deliciously delicious!

- Why is she screaming like that?
- Because she can't hear herself.

With lemon!

- What is it about?
- About the lobster.

So much the worse for him!

- My husband won't have enough lobster.
- He won't get any!

Look at her!
How silly. Poor husband.

He was out fishing today.

Was your husband out fishing today?

No, the lobster. He must have been
caught this morning!

I hope so.

It smells like the sea!

He can't smell like eucalyptus!

You won't find those in Paris.

I'll tell my husband that.

- It can't be helped.
- Then leave her alone.

I'm sorry, but madam shouts in vain,
Madame should speak softly,

But clearly articulate,

so that this lady could
to read from the lips the phrase of Madame,

Or by the lips of Mr. Minister,
when he speaks.

How interesting.

Or you have to yell it right in your ear.
Like this.

- >!
- Yes, please.

- Has madam seen it?
- Yes.

Desiree, serve very quickly.
Dinner should last less than an hour.

All right, Mr. Minister.

- Like in a station restaurant.
- All right, Mr. Minister.

Plates... and champagne.

Sorry.

Thank you.

What?

- Why did she speak so quietly?
- She is deaf and cannot hear herself.

I didn't hear what you said!

- Are you a little hard of ear, too?
- Maybe.

Indeed, if you speak softly
and articulate well,

she almost understands everything.

But don't talk to me like that.

Sorry.

So, what did you tell me?

I told you that your
valet is good-looking.

He walked in on time.

Ten and a quarter.

- What time is it?
- Ten and a quarter.

No, thank you.

I don't see it!

She's also short-sighted!

How much money does he have to
to lose by this time!

His company warns him,
that in his position

he's doing it wrong,
by playing big?

On the contrary, he does so
with the consent of the company.

The winnings go to him,

And two-thirds of what
that he loses,

are written off at the expense of
company advertising.

And I...

What?

- Can you hear her?
- No.

But it is a pleasure.

You can rest.

Do you play baccarat?

No, madam.
Excuse me, Mr. Minister.

- No.
- Right.

- I only play the races.
- Horses are better.

The noblest acquisition of man!

That's what my doctor says.

What's the connection?

I'll take advantage,
that the valet came out to...

He's here!

- Does madam wish me to leave?
- No, stay.

Desiree, don't serve lamb.

Okay. Should I
skip the Russian salad, too?

Yes, but...
we have to remove the menu.

Have madam take a close look
look into the parlor.

How beautiful!

- I thought my husband had come.
- No, it was the moon.

It's... it's the same thing.

I don't care about her,
But you didn't freeze with the window open?

No, but I would take a handkerchief.

I'll get it, madam.

Give it to me, I'll take it to you.
I'm telling you, I'll do it.

- Thank you.
- Thank you, Desiree.

At your service.

I almost committed a tactless act.

Yes.

It would be inconvenient.

You have found a rare bird.

He is alert
and confident.

How sweetly he threw the shawl on!

He adores you!

Now listen to a story,
that will amuse you.

Your valet reminded me of her.

Do you know a certain
Russian Countess Depshinskaya?

Yes, I think
I've heard that name somewhere before.

My cook's sister
is this woman's housekeeper.

And she told...

Two weeks ago...

- What are you looking for?
- A button.

- What for?
- To get Desiree.

- Do you want him to hear?
- No, I want him to clear the table.

- You're not listening.
- We are listening.

The Countess had a valet,
similar to yours from her description.

One evening...

- Please clear the table.
- Very well, madam.

- Don't give this lady any cheese?
- Yes.

Sorry.

Excuse me...
Excuse me, Mr. Minister.

Excuse me, but you
know what a player is!

- Did you win?
- Yes, a million!

I want to call the casino,
see if he's still there.

- He's here.
- Where?

He's here!

- How was it?
- I lost a hundred thousand!

- Hello.
- Hello.

- Good evening.
- My respects.

- Have you had dinner?
- Yes, thank you.

- No way.
- I ate sandwiches at the game.

But since I didn't have dessert,

I would love to eat
this delicious ice cream

and have a cup of coffee.

Tell us how it was.

It was the same as always.

Do your teeth hurt?

No, it's so she can't
to read my lips what I'm saying.

Eight o'clock...

...I was losing two million,
I sat down again at quarter to nine.

and 20 minutes later won a million!

I won by withdrawing only three cans

and starting with 1 50,000: 3, 6, 1 2.

Hello!

On my way out, I bet
1 20 thousand on the other table

and lost.

So you won 880,000!

No, on the last table I bought out
60,000 and bet twice each.

You have such a dress!

She has an adorable dress!

Monsieur is on the phone.
No, Mr. Minister.

- Who?
- The head of the cabinet.

What is it again?

I know what's out there.

What?

An hour ago, the government
resigned.

- What about Felix?
- He's no longer a minister.

I didn't want to tell him about it.
Let the head of the cabinet tell him himself.

- That's terrible!
- What happened?

Shit! Should we tell her the truth
or do we make something up?

As you wish.

So...

Do you know that in France...

...now temporarily Republic?

Yes.

And the present provisional
Republic government has fallen.

The Cabinet of Ministers
resigned.

- But what about Monsieur Montignac?
- Thrown out on the street!

May I let me ask you...

To what end
are you so dazzlingly good?

Lucky Montignac!

Everyone is looking only at you!

Aren't you embarrassed by my compliments?

It all depends on the compliment
And it depends on who's giving it to me.

- Madame will have her coffee here?
- Yes.

- Do you mind?
- As long as it's with you.

What kind of fur were you wearing
at the casino last night?

Ermine.

That ermine really suits you.

However, everything would work for you,

not even a very handsome man.

- You're going too far.
- And I wish I could take you with me.

- What a beautiful fragrance!
- Subtle?

Yes, subtle...
Extremely thin!

What's the matter?

- Did you see how the valet looked?
- No.

He had a furious look on his face,
when I was complimenting you.

What are you saying!

That shouldn't offend you.
He thinks I'm tactless.

But it doesn't stop me from repeating,
that I've never seen you before

so charming.

It's a... a pleasant coincidence!

How's that?

И... Even...

A rich, very rich coincidence!

- What about her?
- Her?

It's all right!

She...

Friends, terrible news!
The government has resigned.

Do you know?

- I found out about it in the casino.
- He told us.

He sends us away
resignation without even telling us!

What does he think we are?
I'll go ask him on the phone!

There were only three or four of us
smart, and what did he do?

Threw us out to form a
a government of mediocrities!

Obvious stupidity,
and I'll say it to his face!

The switchboard at Lisieux refuses
to give communication after 10 o'clock.

Tell him that the Minister of Communications
demands that they give him communications!

And that if they don't,
I will fire them all!

I was feared when I was a minister;

I'm not a minister now,
But I still have connections!

My dear friend,
I should not be giving you advice,

But if I were you.
I would act differently.

And what would you do?

I would have taken the 1 1 :50 train,
I would arrive in Paris

and would show up in Delplank's office,

who, as you can imagine, won't be going
before 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning.

Silly!

Your presence
can make a big difference.

You are right.

Hello, mademoiselle!
What's my tone? Don't talk like that!

In difficult situations, the phone...

You are right!

Desiree! Cancel the conversation.

She said no.
I almost slapped her in the face!

Then I'll go change...
and come back.

Come help me, Desiree.

Good. Here you go!

A very interesting magazine.
Fashion. Very interesting.

>!

Poor guy, he doesn't know what to do.

I have to tell you that
there is also his fault in this resignation.

- Felix? What are you...
- Yes!

In the last six months.
he has made two or three grave mistakes,

which put Delplank
in a predicament.

That's what the casino said about it.

Poor Montignac, now he won't be
not be a minister for a long time now.

- What are you saying?
- We are talking about politics.

Read the magazine!

You want my opinion?

- You say.
- He needs to rest.

Look...
Have you been to Egypt?

- No.
- Neither do I.

- They say it's wonderful there.
- No wonder.

Then that million...

Would you like to spend it
with me in Egypt?

It takes about two months,
to eat through a million.

What do you say to that?

I knew you were a little
crazy and ill-mannered,

But I had no idea,
that you would have the nerve

tell your friend's mistress
and in the presence of your wife

What you just told me!

- I'm in love and capable of anything!
- Don't brag about it.

So, no?

I don't have a mistress right now.

What did you say?

I said I don't have
I don't have a secretary right now.

I don't have a mistress and I'm
I'm on an extraordinary lucky streak right now.

I wanted you
to take advantage of it.

But you don't want to,
and I will look for another one,

Certainly not as charming...

One word, sorry.
Do I look like a whore?

Of course not!
What are you saying?

Do you think I would offer
A million to a whore.

for two weeks in Egypt?

I don't like whores.

It is precisely because you are a secular
woman, I dare suggest it.

Women never understand us!

Do you think men understand us?

I'm a secular woman, so you're
treat me like a whore.

- That's funny!
- Yes... Yes...

1 1 :25, I'm leaving.

No, we're leaving.
I'll take you.

Our mantos, please.

The train is making all the stops.
It will be in Paris at seven in the morning,

and in my car we'll be
in Paris by two o'clock in the morning.

It's going to be wonderful.

- We must leave immediately.
- We leave immediately.

We're leaving.

We're leaving!

- Are we leaving?
- Yes. Let's go!

- Where are we going?
- It's a surprise. Put your coat on.

- Aren't you forgetting something?
- My bag!

- The magazine...
- I'll take it.

That's clumsy,
You can't keep your mantle on.

You don't know how to pitch it.

I'll be back on the morning train.

- Aren't you taking me with you?
- Why, darling? Give me a kiss.

Hurry up, lovebirds!

Come, my doll,
you will sit on the recliner.

It's imperative that we
have to be at Evreux at 00:20.

Adrien, you have to be at Evreux at 00:20!

Don't leave me alone!

Darling, be sensible.
Give me a kiss and see you tomorrow!

Felix, say a kind word to me.

- An affectionate word?
- Yes...

- Montignac!
- Yes, I'm coming!

- Montignac!
- Just a second!

An affectionate word? If I'm not
a minister anymore, I'll marry you.

- Montignac!
- Coming!

Madam, what happened?

Monsieur has been summoned to Paris,
but he will be back for dinner tomorrow.

Is the government retired again?

Yes.

So Monsieur will not be a minister?

I hope not...
I hope not!

Anything can happen.
Is madam going out tonight?

No, I'm going to bed.
Come on, undress me.

- Can I help you?
- Yes, if you don't pinch yourself.

It's a joke...

- What did he say to the landlady when he left?
- Don't count on me to tell you.

- And I heard.
- Speak!

>.

It is better to be married than
dead, for marriage does not last forever!

- Are you going out?
- I'm going to smoke a cigarette on the beach.

- Take the key to the second door.
- I'll go through the terrace.

What if you wake me up
me tonight?

Knock on the wall, I'll wake up.

- Okay. Is that for my tip?
- Yes!

- Thank you!
- You're welcome!

Good night, madam!

Oh, madam... Oh, Madame...

Madam!

Desiree!

Oh, Desiree!
Desiree! Desiree!

Desiree!

How? Is madam here?

What are you doing in my bedroom?

But doesn't madam see
that we are on the terrace?

How long have you been here?

It's four in the morning.
Since half past one, madam.

How from half past one?

I lay down here a quarter of an hour
after madam went to bed.

Sleep here?

No, Madame went up to her room
as soon as Monsieur left.

Yes!

Then I cleared the table,

went out for a five-minute walk
and have a cigarette on the beach,

came back, and instead of
Instead of going to his own place,

Lying here on the cot.

- Without turning on the lamp?
- Yes, ma'am.

- And without knowing I was here?
- Of course, madam.

If I had known Madame was here,
I wouldn't have dared stay.

Is madam sure...
that she came here before me?

Yes, I'm sure.

If Madame is sure, then
I came here after Madame.

And since I didn't turn on the light,
I could not see that Madame was here.

My apologies, madam!

Do you often sleep here?

No, madam, this is the first time.

What woke you up?

I thought my name was...

- You called?
- Yes, madam.

- Last name?
- No, madam, by name.

And when you woke up,
you were immediately convinced you were wrong!

Yes, madam, when I woke up,
I realized I hadn't heard anything.

Now, I think,
you should go to bed.

Should I sleep?

Madame would like to spend
a night on the terrace?

Yeah, I guess so.

Madame must not do that!
The nights are cold, we must be careful.

I'd rather stay here.
I can stay up for two or three hours.

What would the house say if they found out
that Madame spent the night here?

I can go up to my place,
and you... to myself.

There is no need for any of
of us to spend the night outside.

Yes, ma'am.

Good night, Desiree.
See you tomorrow.

- No, ma'am.
- How is it >?

No, and if Madame will allow it,
I will say goodbye to her now.

- Now?
- Yes.

I won't be here in the morning.

Why do you want to leave?
Why do you want to leave?

Madam, don't ask questions!

It would be nice if madam
would just tell me >.

Why spoil the beautiful gesture
that madame has just made?

What gesture?

- Madame doesn't remember what she said?
- No, I don't remember.

That would be even more flattering for me.

Madame deemed me
worthy to keep such a secret...

But I didn't tell you
into any secrets.

How strange to hear Madame say that.
Madame thinks I am a fool?

She talks to me like a man,
and a second later as a servant.

When I said that I woke up from
I heard my name,

Madame didn't ask me if I was wrong
if I was wrong when I realized I was awake.

That's what I asked you!

Madame didn't ask that, she said:

>

Madame answered for me herself.

At this moment Madame was
still under the impression of her reverie...

No, let's better say sleep.

That really touched me!

Madame will let me
leave with such an impression?

Madame will not be incredulous, for
now she is finally awake!

And now Madame feels
it is her duty to ask me,

why I'm leaving!

Madame knows very well why.

And Madame knows very well,
that we can't talk about it.

Madame must understand,
that from now on there is something between us...

...that will remain forever.

Do not think that servants understand
only what is required of them.

Madame wants to know why I'm leaving?

I'm leaving to keep my oath,
that I took when I was hired.

That night I swore to madam,
that she could trust me...

...and that I will always respect her.

And in order to gain Madame's trust,
I even dared to tell her,

That she's not the type
type of woman that I like.

But today I'm not sure
that I will be able to keep that vow.

Even then I wasn't sure.

And now I'm not at all sure...

A lot has happened this week.
I've done a lot of stupid things.

On the first night...

I should have been wary,
when I saw Madame's eyes,

And not to insist,
to get me into the service.

It's the same as teasing the devil.

The second stupidity is that I told madam,
that I didn't like her.

I soon became convinced that it
I soon became convinced that it wasn't true.

As soon as you say that,
you start thinking about it all the time.

I want to know if this is true.

Then you try to test yourself.

No, I didn't get to the point
to spying on madam,

I am not that kind of person.

But when Madame was walking in the park,
I watched her from the window.

At the table, serving her,
I looked at her fingers, her hands...

...on her shoulders!

And when madam got in the car
and I opened the door for her...

I looked at her ankles, her legs.

The first three days it was so good,
that I said to myself: >.

There is one thing that
I didn't dare say to Madame,

But I'm going to say it all now,
and make me feel worse!

What I did at the Countess's,
I did in two other places.

Two other places!

Yes, madam, the Countess
it was the third case.

I told myself: 01:22:35.552
you're a lost man!

Imagine a valet,
who only wants his masters,

whose lover
he cannot become!

How one must love the profession to
to be in such a situation!

But I love my profession,
I'm crazy about it!

The day before yesterday I heard Monsieur say

about the pleasure of command.

I'm not going to argue,
But if Madame had known,

What a pleasure it is for a man
What a pleasure it is to obey!

Obedience, madam,
it's intoxicating!

To have the right not to have one's will!

>

These thoughts arise in others.

And when a woman's voice commands,
it's a delightful sensation!

I could
envy the slaves, madam!

This was the state I was in
at the end of the third day.

I was convinced that Mme.
not like her, and it was wonderful.

And suddenly, on the third day.
the night everything changed!

I was dreaming about you!

- You were dreaming...
- Yes, so did you, so did I.

Everything was allowed in the dream.

Does madam understand?

In the dreams, everything was as it should have been
it should have been, if it had happened.

That's why I came here to sleep,
so it doesn't happen again.

And that madam
could not hear me.

I fell asleep.

Suddenly I wake up,
and what do I see?

Madame sleeps next to me.

A madam who, you might say,
spent the night with me.

The madam who said my name,
who dreamed what I dreamed!

And madam asks,
why I want to leave!

I'm not asking you anything else.

- What is this?
- Phone.

Don't go!

It will wake up the whole house.

I'd rather answer that.
It would be quite natural.

Hello? Yes. Who?

Ah, it's you, monsieur!

Of course, Mr. Minister,
Madame is asleep. Shall I wake her?

All right!

Because I was coming out, Monsieur.

The phone rang,
as I was going to bed in my room.

I was supposed to follow my brother
to the station for the train at 00:50.

He sent a
a telegram, and I was afraid,

that something serious had happened.

Indeed, our
elderly uncle is worse.

If I get bad news tomorrow,

Monsieur will not be offended,
if I went to Paris?

Thank you, monsieur.

Is there anything I should pass on
to Madame through Madeleine early in the morning?

Listening.

Congratulations.

Very good.

Very well, monsieur.

Goodbye, Mr. Minister.

Monsieur stays in touch.

- How are you on the phone?
- At the Ministry of Communications!

I didn't get it right away.

Yeah, it's funny how that happened.
with the Minister of Communications.

He told me,

that he arrived in Paris just in time,
to join the new government.

- I heard.
- Monsieur was pleased.

He added that he would definitely
come here tomorrow for dinner.

Okay.

Monsieur seemed very happy,
to be a minister again.

Just as glad,
as sad as Madame is now.

Madame is sad because of that phrase
that Monsieur said to her as he was leaving.

Do you know?

Yes, Madeleine heard that,
and, of course, she told me.

Let Madame have no regrets,

Because she understands that she will be lost,
if she marries a man like that.

Madame will not forget that he is a minister.

Therefore, like his colleagues,
he must have a girlfriend.

And if you marry him,
he will have another girlfriend.

Madame does not know their manners as I do.

Most politicians are
provincials.

In order to acquire the capital's
glitz, they need mistresses.

Let madame understand this
and surprise Monsieur tomorrow.

Let madame surprise Monsieur,
by meeting him with a short haircut.

Yes, yes, madam.
And let her return to the theater.

Even if it's in >,
it doesn't matter!

Actress is flattering.

Madame did not hear what Monsieur said?

It's true that it's good
You can only hear through the door.

Five hours.

Madame didn't get much sleep, and it's going to be a
a difficult day. It's all because of me...

So, madam,
as we agreed,

I'll wait for Madeleine to wake up,

I'll tell her what Monsieur said...

...and leave.

In two or three days I will write to madam,
to inform her of her uncle's death.

And that I was moving to Lyon,
to be near my sister.

I'll ask madam for a reference,
that she will write for me, won't I?

And which I shall cherish
as the memory of Madame.

Goodbye, madam.

I ask madam for the last time
to say my name one last time.

Not because it's beautiful.

It sounds so good coming out of madam's mouth!

Goodbye, madam!

Farewell... Madam!

Goodbye, Desiree...

That's impossible! The Lord God,
obviously gave me someone else's heart!
