Claudine. Hey. How you doing?

Hey. John, Louis. Still snapping them up?

Yeah. You still working for that daily rag?

It's a very good newspaper and you know it.

Yeah?

And it got one of my best models too.

That's to see if I had any other talents, didn't I?

Anytime you get tired of writing for peanuts and wanna

show those long legs for some long green, just phone.

Thanks, Louis. That's always good to know.

You, my dear, are welcome.

So tell me what you're working on.

A raise.

Very good.

As a matter of fact,

I've become very much interested in mister Jose de

Paguette.

Oh, honey. Watch out for that one.

Yes. Oh, I've been hearing.

He's got too much power in his corner.

Well, power or not, I smell a story and I'm gonna go after it.

Lots of luck. Look, Louie.

If you pick up anything interesting, let me know,

Yeah.

Sure no sweat.

But seriously, you be careful with those clowns.

Don't worry. Who's worried? You. You're right.

Ciao, love. Ciao.

Well, you want us to do it? Yeah. Okay.

You do.

Alrighty.

What time do you want me to pick you up?

Well, I know it. Let's pick it up. Alright. Yeah.

I'll do that, John. Should I really like? Sure.

Excuse me.

Hi. Come on in.

I always have time for my star reporter, Claudine. Sit down.

I got a lead on something rather sticky.

Our Belgian prince in trouble again?

No. It's about Jose de Badiou.

Well, let's hear it.

He's been giving some parties recently Yeah.

With Archer everyday garden variety.

And so I thought that perhaps I might interview the man,

visit his Fontainebleau estate,

where I hear there's some pretty wild goings on.

I see. Look, Claudine.

There may be some wild goings on okay.

That doesn't necessarily mean a story.

Kind of material his old hat now,

and not to mention that he's wealthy and influential as all hell.

Well, these are people with connections.

A lot of whom are finance people and people from the art

world, government officials who are fairly high up.

Our readers are sick and tired of the sex angle without

something new involved.

Oh, well, I think there's drugs involved.

You know how people are. You take an aspirin.

They think you're on age.

Yeah. Aspirin. Sure.

Besides, there's teenage girls of those For what?

The more the merrier.

Don't be around. There's a story in this I can tell.

Oh, and one of those teenage girls was killed,

and it was covered up.

Claudine, look. Alright. There could be a story in it. Okay.

Nothing big, Billy. You understand?

Just one or two columns, Claudine. Here's all.

And I'll have Angelica look into it.

You get that guru story.

Uh-huh. The guru.

Well, I happen to think this is more important.

Don't take it away from me now.

I've just started. Let me finish it. Okay?

You won't regret it.

What proof have you got?

Nothing right now,

but I do have an appointment with someone who's supposed to

have all the proof I could want.

You've got an appointment? Oh, look, honey. Look.

We've got a paper to get out,

and I need you to finish the guru thing.

Now Angelica can meet this guy. She can find out what he knows.

Alright.

There's no use arguing with you once you've made up your mind.

Only once I start on something,

I wanna see it through to the bitter end. You know how I am.

Come on.

Let me follow it through.

What do you say?

This man you've got the appointment with, do you know him?

No. I don't.

Then forget it.

I think you should follow-up on Despardiers.

Wonder if they're friends or if their editor has dinner at his

house every week.

Look.

I'm gonna follow this thing through no matter what he said.

And what happens if he finds out you're still covering the story?

He won't find out. Besides, who's gonna tell?

I shall if you don't bribe me with a kiss.

Provided you let me go in your place. My lips are sealed. Oh.

That'll take care of you for now.

I've gotta meet someone in a brown chick jacket.

See you later.

It was because of you. Me? Why me?

Oh, come on.

I didn't

You knew all right.

Joe, make it two of our usual times.

And anyway, he didn't know. Why did he have to say anything?

After all, I was doing all the work.

You could've just sat there for quite an hour.

I'm gonna learn to have the things set up. Get out.

I mean, if I'd known, things would've been a lot different and

how.

My name is Pierre. You're waiting for someone?

If it's a girlfriend,

we could introduce her to my buddy and make it a horsing.

We could go have something to eat.

Well, what do you say?

Hey, sailor. You doing anything? Oh. We are now.

Alright. Come with me.

Hey. Don't bat a girl who's hard to try.

Bet she hasn't equipped before he knows it.

You're pretty good. Twenty is all I can pay, though.

Didn't you hear what I said?

Hey. Don't you want any money?

Hello? Angelica, it's me, Claudine. What's wrong, honey?

Claudine.

Oh, Angelica, I wanted to hear you. I wanted What is it?

I wanted just to hear your voice. Something real.

You sound as if you're losing your mind.

Oh, god. I don't know.

But it's happened to me like before, Angelica.

That music's driving me crazy.

I hear it and can't help myself.

All I know is I gotta have a man, any man in this time.

It was a sailor in some little bar.

I was sitting there waiting for that guy in the checked jacket to show up.

Then they started playing the music. Oh, Angelica.

I'm sorry I bothered you.

Look. You're not bothering me at all.

I'll come over. No. Don't do that. I feel alright now.

I just go to bed. Okay?

Are you sure you'll be alright now?

Oh, yes. Good night, Angelica.

Yes.

Is that true? Mhmm.

Well, I can certainly sympathize with his need for for privacy.

Yes.

A man in his position is continually hounded by reporters.

It would be impossible to give them all interviews.

If you wait here, ma'am, I'll tell them you've arrived.

I won't be a moment.

Thank you.

They're both very young,

and they're both quite fond of each other.

Now, my dear, you may make any notes that you require.

However, I insist no tape recordings whatsoever.

And one more thing,

whatever you write has to have my approval before it's printed.

Very well. I'll begin with the question.

What do you think of the wave of eroticism that has hit the movie world?

Personally, I find nothing wrong with it.

Except most of the time, it's more pornography than eroticism.

But you've never made an erotic film.

Have you ever considered doing one?

Fair to say I don't exclude the possibility,

but my price for doing one is a bit steep.

And the producers of that type of film don't really want to

spend that kind of money.

But you certainly must admit you live in a rather erotic atmosphere.

As a matter of fact, you live like the people in those films.

Yes. Without a doubt.

Erotic yet without, being vulgar.

But you do have sexual experiences that are, how shall

I say, unnatural?

I wouldn't say that. I'd say they're quite natural.

What is your definition of the word, unnatural?

Not normal.

My dear, who is to say what is normal and what is not?

You're under a misconception.

You think normal sex is only when the woman is underneath a man.

I think that you're oversimplifying it, don't you?

You may think whatever you like, young lady.

But I wouldn't print it without first getting my, bouquet.

Do you have any other questions?

You have very powerful friends. A bear taste the same as yours?

Now you're being impertinent.

But to answer your question, my dear,

everyone's tastes are different.

This interview is over.

You come to me for an interview,

yet what you need is guidance.

The vibrations I receive from you are quite strong.

Your very life may be in danger, and you know what I say is true.

It's help you must have and soon.

You You mean I could avoid this thing if I were to listen to you?

You mock me, and yet as I sit here, there is an aura of

music about you.

I sense evil in this music.

Yes. It has enslaved you.

You are a rare and beautiful woman, Claudine.

Perhaps the next time that you come

Ah, sounds good.

You've had a pretty busy day. Depardieu and then the guru.

Oh, he's phenomenal, I've heard. Hey.

You suppose that guy just might help you with your problem?

I don't know. He seems to know quite a lot.

I'm more concerned about depardieu.

And I'm more concerned about you, Claudine.

I think what you need is a good long rest.

Why don't you think it helped?

Oh, Angelica. I can't rest.

When I finish my story, I'll take a vacation. See you later.

Okay. Bye.

Where are we going?

To make love.

Okay? But you're at the one's okay.

I'm going to England, mom.

I'm gonna see the Menhera and Dolmens.

You know, those prehistoric pillars of stone that point straight to the sky.

Yeah.

You wanna come?

I can't.

Oh, you never can go anywhere.

You're either at the office or out somewhere getting some story.

Right now, I'm doing an expo What about?

You ever hear of Jose de Fabure?

What's he down to?

Well, why is he so often he throws up, or shall I say,

a lease of oche?

Everyone in Ferris knows that.

Yes. But the last time don't, honey. I'm serious.

The last time somebody died.

Oh, that's just gossip.

No. I don't think so.

I had an appointment with this man who had proof of Dave

Hudger's involvement, but he never showed up for it.

Maybe he got scared at the last moment. You better be careful.

There are certain people that one doesn't fool it.

I know, but I'm still going ahead with it no matter what happens.

What is it? Tire?

Are you afraid I'm gonna give you a disease or something?

God, no. Well, then what is it?

Oh, Paul. I've got a lot on my mind.

Well, you could have told me you didn't want to.

I've got a problem.

Okay. What is it? Out with it.

I don't know if I'm doing the right thing by telling you.

But we've always been honest with each other, haven't we?

Okay. Go ahead.

What is it?

You remember that music I used to hear and the way I reacted?

Well, it come back again.

Just like before, same music. It's driving me crazy.

I'll give up my assignment. I'll say I'm sick.

No, Paul.

I don't want that.

It'll be better if you call.

It'll be easier for both of us if you're not around, darling.

But I can't leave you like this.

Do as I say, please.

That's what you want.

Okay.

Another day, another dollar.

Hi, Angelica. Hi.

Say earlier bird, the boss was looking for you.

Oh, what kind of mood did he? Worse than usual.

Yes?

Ah, Claudine.

Come right in.

You've been following up on your story, I understand.

Did you meet your mysterious man?

Well, unfortunately, my man was not a man of courage.

He never came to the appointment.

He did call you though.

When?

Yesterday. Claudine, you're one of my best reporters.

You play your cards right, you could be syndicated.

All you need is someone with a little more experience who can

give you guidance.

And what does that mean? That, I should become your lover?

It's not such a bad idea. Think it over.

Anyway, here's what he said.

Tell Claudine, I'll meet her on her steps where we met before.

Tomorrow afternoon at twelve o'clock.

If I'm not there at twelve, try again at four.

Your friend is mysterious.

Claudine, I want you to stop this stupid business,

and that's an order.

This is a newspaper office, Claudine,

and not a private detective's office.

See you later, mister Portney.

Yeah.

Have you left your friends for Henry Miller?

I only read the filthy part.

My name's Clogier.

And I? Alan.

What do you do?

I'm, a writer actually.

I know some. They're very perverse men in general.

They tend to let their imaginations run wild.

Yes. Guilty, your honor.

Do you wish to pass sentence now?

Yeah. I bet you're a rude man of action in bed.

Well, no.

I have some whiskey at my house. Shall we go find out?

Well, why don't we just do that?

This way.

Welcome to my den of iniquity.

Oh, it's nice.

Thank you.

Yes. I like it.

Make yourself at home.

Shall we have those drinks now?

Yes. If you like.

Good. I have some wine if you'd prefer that.

Sounds delicious.

You have a beautiful little place. Do you live here alone?

No.

As we say, Prost.

To your health?

You

didn't make it, did you?

Not your fault.

Well, hello again.

I hope I'm not intruding, but I live here too.

You're not intruding.

I'm not,

That's more like it.

How beautiful.

I'll bet you knew none of that shirt.

That bother you?

In a word, yes. You like doing that, don't you?

I've met chicks like you, always ready.

You, you want a ball?

Yes.

Why not?

Hey. What are you doing?

I'm gonna try again.

Thank you for coming.

I'm sorry that I couldn't meet you at the bar last night.

I was following.

I'm sure that we we can help each other. You want a story?

I want revenge.

I want you to meet someone.

Will you come with me?

My daughter.

Marie?

Marie?

We have a visitor, darling.

My god. What happened?

One of those one of those parties.

It's the result of mixing verromycin with alcohol,

Claudine.

Why didn't you go to the police?

Because I was afraid. I was given money to keep quiet.

You took money for that?

I wasn't given much choice.

I thought her condition was temporary.

Besides, I thought they would have killed her.

Look, they did that to her.

I decided that no matter what happens now, I want to see

this cult or whatever you call it exposed for what it is.

Where did they meet your daughter?

A therapeutic clinic on the Rue de la Paix.

A former friend of mine recommended us.

One can't get in without a proper introduction.

I'll get in somehow.

Be careful, Claudine. They're very dangerous.

I can take care of myself.

Madam de Clare. Wife of the art historian.

Madam Boulanger.

Who's that?

Press it again. There's a better shot of her. Oh, yes.

Francine Gautier.

Is she a lesbian?

From the tip of her head to her toes.

Shall I wait for you? No.

I shall pay you.

Very good, miss.

Settle me up one of the mails.

Right away.

Yes, ma'am?

Get a horse ready for me, please.

I'm sorry.

This is a private stable reserved for members only.

As of today, I am a member.

Okay.

You'll find riding clothes in the dressing room over there.

Yeah.

Thank you for

coming back.

I appreciate it.

Anything broken? I don't think anything's broken.

Just got the wind knocked out of me. That's all. Just rest.

Your horse is back back home by now.

That old ugly brute threw me. He broke his reins.

You sure you're okay? Surely just frighten me.

We can ride double on my horse.

Thank you. This is very kind of you.

I'm not exactly Prince Charming on a white horse, I must admit.

Oh, I can adapt myself.

With both of us and the horse, it's better we let her walk.

I'm not complaining.

Don't be afraid to grab on and hold. Who knows?

I might ever like it. Okay.

It's nice here.

Only girls have come here. It's my little discreet.

Even my husband doesn't know. He doesn't suspect anything?

Well, let us say that we understand each other.

He has his idiosyncrasies, then I have mine. Oh, I see.

Now tell me, what do you do?

I mean, when you are not falling off a horse so you can meet someone.

You knew I didn't really fall, didn't you?

It just looked when I saw you in the dressing room.

I thought it would be a good way to meet you. Uh-huh.

Well, anyway, I'm a model.

You know, one of those who pose all the time and smile constantly.

What do you think of the idea of meeting some of my friends?

If they're anything like you, I would.

Well, in a very few days,

I'll take you to a place that that very few people know about in Paris.

Oh. Do you like it? I can hardly wait.

Anyone here? In the dark room. Be out in a few minutes.

Oh, okay. Take your time, Louis.

I got some eggs I want you to look at. Okay.

Louie. Louie, come out of there quick. I need your help, Louie.

Hey. You going crazy? Oh, Louie.

Hey, baby.

You screw yourself together.

What's the matter with you? You better go see a shrink.

I'm assure you would return. Please come. Come.

I resented what you said to me the other day.

But then after thinking it over,

I realized that I had to see you again no matter what happened.

Today, you will begin to free yourself of your affliction.

Yeah.

I have heard your music, that which taught me to lie down, please.

Lie

down.

Relax completely.

Let yourself go.

I want you to concentrate on my voice and my voice alone.

You see a little girl.

She's playing and laughing. She's very happy.

Your eyes are getting tired. Close them.

The little girl has stopped playing. She wants to go home.

She wants to go home.

But her mother doesn't want her in the house.

She wants her to play outside.

The little girl disobeys.

She goes into the house, and she sees what?

What?

That little girl, who was she? Tell me.

The little girl. It was me. It was me.

I don't wanna know anymore. Haven't I suffered enough?

Yes, my dear. You have. In time, you will suffer no more.

Come. Where are we? At a very exclusive club.

Good afternoon, madame Cortez. So good to see you.

Thank you, Claudette. Is Henriette a hu?

Not yet, madame. She's expected soon.

Shall I book her for a minute or when she comes in?

Yes, please.

Thank you, Claudette.

There's nothing better than a nice swim to cool you down.

Who wants to be cool down? Oh, hoo.

It is lovely here.

We are going to the gym first, the gym. Why the gym?

You'll see when we get there. Okay. It's your party.

They have everything you want here. Everything?

I'm beginning to like it already.

I thought you thought it was the first time one day.

Claudine, my love, take your time choosing.

I'm going to get undressed and go to the solarium. Okay.

That one. I'll attend to it.

Our dressing room attendant will show you where to disroenque.

Charles, this way.

After you undress, would you put this on, please? Alright.

Do you have to stay and watch? Yes.

I'm so sorry, but it's one of our rules.

And kindly leave your purse here.

You're not allowed to take anything with you.

You're not allowed to take anything with you?

I'm so sorry. It's one of our rules.

It's a little cold. Oh, I'm I am sorry. It's nothing.

I'll take care of it.

Charles is my name.

My name's Juliet.

Hi, Juliet. It's a pleasure to meet you.

Yeah. Drink's a good idea.

Here. You want a cigarette?

No. Thanks. You go ahead. Cheers. Cheers.

To a fabulous night.

Night. What do you mean? It's around four in the afternoon.

Just my way of putting it.

Madam Gauthier, Henriette is here.

How wonderful. Where is she? She's in the summer.

Oh, very good.

Hello, dear.

Right, sir.

Here.

You're new here, aren't you?

I'm a substitute.

Well, alright.

Come to daddy.

I feel like my head was used for a football.

You're something else.

I can't believe you made it eight times.

Did you say eight?

I never met anyone like you before.

Am I disturbing you?

No. I was just relaxing.

Oh, who is your friend?

What can I get you, dear? Would you like a drink?

No. Thank you. I'm in a hurry. You called me, so I'm here.

Now what do you want?

Francine is a spy in our group.

A spy? Mhmm.

I only found out about it last night.

Oh, you're not serious. A spy in our group.

Yes. A spy, my dear.

You're a guest at the club the other day.

I only just met her.

She seemed to be alright and rather pretty.

Maybe you're wrong.

No. I'm not wrong. She's a reporter.

A reporter? Are you sure?

Mhmm. Yes. I'm positive.

She came to interview me. It was rather a short interview.

I sent her away.

What do you suggest we do?

We do absolutely nothing.

But the club records?

We're perfectly legal.

If you want me to, I I could disappear for a while.

No. No. Don't do that.

The more she's near you,

the more we'll be able to control her.

It's sort of that he looks whorehouse is what it is,

and they cater to the rich.

This is where they took that poor little Murray.

Well, there's a story there. I'll say that.

But getting it's not gonna be easy.

They got everything there, hot and cold, rum and sex.

And if they haven't got it, they'd go out and get it for you.

Well, they'd better enroll then.

It's a regular treasure trove for a lesbian.

Yeah. But they're very careful about who they let in there.

I had to get completely undressed in front of a a watchdog.

I wouldn't mind that. Poor girl's hungry.

She needs a

thrill.

Money can buy anything. Well, almost.

Personally, I never had enough to find out.

Well, anyway, I've got my foot in the door.

You know, they're throwing a big party,

and they're inviting a lot of very important people.

But de Padilla knows you. He knows that you're a reporter.

Francine has already accepted me without too many questions,

and she's my entrance pass.

I already told her that I was a model,

which is not really a lie.

It's how I thought it out.

You know?

You had sex with her?

Yeah. It was the only way I could avoid suspicion.

I envy her. You know that?

Oh, that was in the line of work. It's different with you.

Claudine, that's you. My god.

Who could have taken that picture?

Oh, no.

Claudine, someone's out to get you.

But how did they know I was there?

And hello?

Interesting photos, you must admit.

Put Claudine on the phone.

Go ahead.

Claudine, if you wish to learn more about

the photographs, stay at home.

It will be telephoned.

Who are you? Hey, wait a minute. Did you hear that?

Uh-huh. I better go home right now.

Claudine, maybe I should go with you. Mm-mm. Don't bother.

I'll be okay. Let me know what happens. Don't worry.

I'll phone you.

Everything's going according to plan.

Yeah. She's on her way home.

Hello? Hello?

Hello? Is there someone on the line?

Yes. I'm on the line, Claudine.

Who are you?

Who I am is not important.

What is important are those photographs of you.

Very good composition, don't you agree?

You work for Jose, don't you? You think you've got me beat?

I do not work for Jose Departure.

Then what do you want from me?

Fifty thousand francs.

Tomorrow at six PM, be at the Tivoli Theater.

Sit somewhere in the middle and make sure you bring the money

with you.

You rotten blackmailer.

Hello. Hello. Hello.

Hello.

Ah,

you finally came in.

What's your excuse this time?

Oh, Claudine.

Always wanted you.

That's enough.

With what? Don't touch me anymore.

You want me to suffer, don't you?

Please let me go.

Come here.

You want to tease me so.

You want me? You don't have to pay for me.

How much?

Twenty thousand peregrs.

Twenty? Come here, you. I'll pay you nothing.

I want you, but I'm going to hide you.

You're beautiful.

I adore you.

Let's go in the front room.

Sit down. Relax.

Alright. Let's hear it. That man called.

I was so upset. I went to the office and provoked Jonathan.

He raped you, Yeah.

Angelica, can I stay here tonight?

Why, certainly, you can sleep here.

If you want to, you can sleep with me.

Oh, I don't wanna bother you. I just don't wanna go home.

I'd love to hear. But it's no bother, really.

It's big enough for two people.

And that's the story. Uh-huh.

I've gotta try and find out who photographed me.

But why should you worry? It's only a toss in the hay.

It's not as if you killed somebody.

Yeah.

But what happens if Papadio gets his filthy hands on him?

Here, let me. You have a beautiful body.

Thank you, Angelica. It's my pleasure. Let's go to bed now.

I'm tired.

Did I wake you? No. I can't sleep.

My head's going round and round.

Too many things have been happening to me,

and all at once it seems I don't know if I can cope with it.

I have a great deal of confidence in you, my love.

You'll come through.

Sure. It's nice to have a friend. Always.

You know it's funny. A bedroom always makes me think of a man.

And when there isn't one available.

Then I try to go to sleep.

I try and try, and what happens is I lie there wide awake.

I understand.

I do lie awake at night thinking.

Only with me, it's girls. How do you feel now?

At least there's not that music that drives me crazy.

I'm gonna try and catch a few wings.

Good night.

You know, I love you, Angelica.

Yeah. It's true. It's funny.

I've never loved a woman before.

I mean, I've loved them, but not really.

I didn't quite tell you the truth last night. What now?

I have to raise a lot of money. Why do you have to do that?

The poll doesn't mean blackmailed.

How much?

Fifty thousand francs. I have thirty in the bank.

I wonder if you could loan me the other twenty.

And all the time I thought you were sincere.

You were here, I love you, Angelica. Sure.

When all you really wanted was money, Well, forget it.

No, Angelica. No. It's not true. Get out of my house.

I don't ever wanna see you again for me.

You don't exist. Our friendship is dead, buried, and forgotten.

Goodbye.

No, Angelica. Please no.

Operator.

Four two eight six five three.

Hello, Francine. It's Claudine.

Well, hi. What's new? I I wanna see you. I wanna see you too.

Why don't we get together next week? It's rather important.

Very well. We'll make it tomorrow then. No.

It can't wait till tomorrow.

Why not? I'll tell you when I see you.

Sounds pretty serious, dear. It is.

Okay. I'll meet you in an hour. Thanks. Sure.

Where shall we meet? If you want, I can come over there.

No. I'll get dressed and meet you outside somewhere.

Do you know Plato's Bar? Oh, yeah.

I've been there. Good.

I'll meet you there then in about an hour.

Okay. Thanks.

For what? Okay. Ciao. Yeah.

Ciao.

Do you want me to call? You stay here, my little plum.

I won't be long.

Lost.

Bonsoir madame Gauthier.

Marcel, I'm meeting a friend here. You find out about it.

Thank you.

Bonsoir madame Gauthier.

Charles. Charles, are you having your usual turmoil?

No. Not this time. Well, then what do you want?

Twenty thousand francs. I need it desperately.

And so you come to me.

I didn't know who else to turn to.

And what are you willing to do for it? Well, I don't know.

Should we go to the other room and talk?

Listen, Francine, I'll do anything for

I want to see why you need twenty thousand francs so

suddenly, Claudine.

But are you really ready to do anything for it? Yes.

I'll do anything,

even to being the queen of the little sheen deque we are having.

Sure. Why not?

And have you any idea what our fair queen has to do?

No, but I can well imagine.

The queen must respond yes to all.

She cannot refuse anything. That should be amusing.

Yes, for the guests.

But not always for the queen.

Do you accept?

I accept. I'm not afraid.

The baps on it. Tenet.

Get her out of here.

Do you mind if I should stay?

No.

Stop that for heaven's sake. Stop what?

You know what, now take your hand away.

You're so beautiful.

I want to see if you're for real.

Just keep your hands to yourself.

Come on. I'll take your hand. Okay. Alright.

Okay.

Hey. What's the matter? What is it?

Go to hell.

Uh-huh.

Right. No. I'm sure. It was too dark.

Nobody could see in there.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Well, I certainly hope that you're right, because if you're not

Hello?

I'll see you when you get here. Yeah.

Don't worry. You are the queen. Okay.

Better come Have a good job. Good job.

Isn't it hot in here? My chemistry class.

Yes. I hear that.

And don't forget Ralph. Yes. Oh, he's so big.

Just what I need.

You'll be, joining us in my festivities, won't you, Paul?

Then we'll check.

You're the lovely creature just, flew away.

Excuse me, sir. The young lady you're waiting for has arrived.

You best prepare her.

Alright.

Claudine? Oh, I didn't mean to scare you.

Well, here I am queen for a day. Yes.

You are my little pet,

and you are to be dressed in regal clothes.

Now come along. You are late in our afternoon.

The queen's being paid to play to the piper stew.

Where'd you learn that one?

Pet h.

That's your pet h? Yeah. It's crazy.

You ain't seen nothing like it.

You know, my dear,

I think that tonight should be quite interesting.

Oh, my. Yes. Now you must change.

Can I wear what I get on? No. Of course not.

Get undressed. Yeah. But why? The queen must respond yes.

Now we shall not speak about it again, right?

Okay.

Here, this is your costume.

Where does it go?

Oh, over your head.

Good job.

Your majesty, here, your queen.

Are we yet?

Come

Did you have any luck? Did you find her?

No. Not a damn trace.

What places did you look?

What places did they look?

Did you try Play Doh's?

Play Doh's?

It's one of those new in places.

Where is it? It? I don't know. Look in the book.

Alright. I'll find it. Don't worry.

She may be in danger.

Don't you think I know that?

Phone me.

I will. I will. Ignite.

Mhmm. Bye.

Jose, what is this?

I thought we came to see the queen's coronation.

She's keeping her subjects waiting.

Well, is she ready or isn't she?

What's going on over there?

Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please?

Francine,

thank you.

Our queen is ready to be coronated.

She will be then delivered unto us to do as we like.

Hugo.

It is time to begin.

Go then and fetch her, and be ready when I call.

Lift her veil.

Bring in the virgin.

Bring her forward to meet her queen.

Stripper.

I command you to make love to her.

Take her.

Mama. Mama.

Who's that?

It's my little daughter.

Well, let's see what she wants. Mama.

Come here, you. We're gonna have a little problem.

Oh, let go of her. Just grab her.

She's gonna get a child by god's sake. Get up all of her.

Oh, get out of her. You filthy animal. You filthy animal.

You filthy animal.

Claudine.

Oh my god. Come on. I gotta get you to the hospital.

Alright. Honey, we'll talk about it when we get more.

Sweetheart, did you hear what doctor Cheval said about my scar?

Oh, very sorry.

Doctor Rogers? Oh, hello, Paul.

Doctor Rogers.

How's the patient? Well, she's a lot better.

You can go ahead and visit her if you want to. Thanks.

Thanks for everything.

Change. Miss Hamilton, report to surgery, please.

Miss Hamilton, report to surgery, please.

Can I come in? Hello.

I brought you some fresh flowers.

Thank you.

Hey, Deborah. Dude's been kicked out of the country.

Thank god.

Claudine, there's a lot that I need to tell you.

The guru, he knew everything about you right down to the last detail.

You were loaded with gilts.

He believed he could cure you by using sort of a shock

therapy, he said.

I wanted you to be cured,

to listen to that music without being affected.

I was willing to do almost anything.

So we we began, the object being to recreate a

thereby eradicating your mental scar.

It worked.

I suppose I should be quite mad at you, but I'm not.

It's because I love you.

I've thought about it a lot since I've been lying here.

It's wonderful just having you around.

And why don't you go ahead and kiss me? Are you afraid?

Who's afraid?

Why you're speaking to the holy terror?

Oh. Oh, honey. I'm sorry.

In a week, you'd be like
