Hello, Gloria.

Are you ready? We can begin.

That's it for today, Gloria.
There's a call for you.

- Hello? - Hello Sarah.
- Oh, Dorothy. What's wrong, my darling?

You have a meeting
with Peter in an hour.

Damned. I'm completely exhausted
and also dressed incorrectly.

Honey, I would send someone
else, but he only wants you.

Buy something to wear and
put it on your expense account.

All right, take care.

I'll be here all week.

- I want to see you every day.
- Wow. But I have to hurry.

Your buddies are
really very calm.

But that's what I like in a man.

- What time tomorrow?
- Call the agency.

Can't we bypass the agency?

Oh, you naughty
little boy. Take care.

There's the little one.

- Very original, Peter.
- I thought you would like it.

Fallen? I love it.

- We want?
- Here? But you're a very bad boy, Peter.

- But you're so sexy.
- No, you're the one who's sexy.

- Thanks. See you later, Tiger.
- Yes, see you, little one.

That was a really good
number that you delivered there.

- It was nice watching you though.
- Oh yes?

Hey guys?
Did you like the show?

- Well, I'll tell you something.
- Here, my share.

I have never lost my money
as easily as today. Go on.

Let's see if you can
get some of it back.

Of course, Cliff, I understand
that. I don't want to rush you.

You should be sure. I can wait.

Thanks, Jason. I just
thought it would be easier.

Be clear about one thing, few
things in life are easy to get.

- Do not forget that.
- I don't think a woman has that much patience.

Women are easy to get. You just
have to know how to approach it.

I think I'll get a hotel.

It is out of the question.
You are my guest.

I'll stay with friends
while you're here.

I want you to stay here.
That you feel at home here.

Just let yourself go.
Feel my presence.

I want you to get to know me.
Do you understand what I mean?

- Jason, I...
- Not another word.

Call me when you're ready.

Like taking candy
away from a baby.

- Except I was the candy.
- And who was the baby?

I thought he
wouldn't stop at all.

- I'm even a little sore.
- That's part of our job.

- You have an appointment at half past five.
- Au revoir, girls.

Don't do anything I wouldn't do.

There's hardly anything
you wouldn't do, darling.

- How did the intermediate exams go?
- Great, except physics. I have to go.

- Lori, has Jack left again?
- Yes, exactly, and this time two weeks.

- When I get married, I'll stop.
- I agree with you.

- Gloria, can I talk to you for a second?
- Yes, of course.

We are one of the
largest agencies in the city.

- Everything you start turns into gold.
- Oh, what you don't say.

Speaking of which, what did
you think of the final chapter?

Things are starting to get exciting.

Finally, there isn't always
an apology behind every word.

- You don't judge so much anymore either.
- That's what I hoped.

I was a bit surprised
myself at the beginning.

- Where is it then?
- I still have my notes.

We need a better
computer program.

- I can't work with these piles of garbage.
- Oh, I think so.

- Mrs Norris?
- Come in, Mr. Evans. You are not a moment too soon.

May I announce? This is Cliff
Evans from Ideas Unlimited.

A man who sells us his ideas.

- You don't waste time.
- Time is money.

Yes, you can probably say that out loud.

Have a nice day, Mr. Evans.

Tell me exactly what you
need and I can get to work.

Naturally. We have a lot of
addresses and phone numbers.

I believe Kate is available.

Yes I can confirm that.
Seven thirty, would that be correct?

Good, room 714, and
thank you for calling Papillon.

Hello. Sharon did you
get this address for me?

Yes I have. The
Paradise Model Agency.

You have an audition tomorrow.

OK. Should I ask
about anyone specific?

No, no, I don't think
that's necessary at all.

- All right, darling. And how are things going otherwise?
- It's okay.

But being with you every day

makes me feel like
an ugly duckling.

Do not do that.
Beauty is truly fleeting.

Yes, yes, things like that are easy to say.

One moment please. Don't
forget your appointments, Gloria.

- Oh, sorry.
- Papillon Escort Service, how can I help you?

Yes, a moment please.

They said five ladies for a
private dinner. That's no problem.

I don't care what everyone says.
Blondes really do have more fun.

Well, I'm having enough fun too.

Maybe, but being
blonde wouldn't hurt you.

Oh, don't make assumptions
about yourself, darling.

Duty calls.

I will be able to give you a
detailed prospectus soon.

I am looking forward to it.
Girl? This is Cliff Evans.

He will develop a new
computer program for us.

- Ow, great! - He's cute.
- He's fantastic.

We won't eat you.

Did you make it to the
appointment on time last night?

- You were in such a hurry.
- I arrived just on time.

I took advantage of her. I would
like to make amends for that.

- Sometime. - Oh, that's okay.
- At seven at Cacun?

- See you.
- Because of me.

Why don't you come and
program my computer tonight.

Or already fully booked
tonight, that would be possible.

Good people are
definitely in demand. Or?

Oh, nice. Just come in.

Maybe I can get one too?

A scotch for the lady.

Have you eaten yet?

I'm very sorry, really.
But something came up.

Shall we go?

- I'm not hungry anymore.
- I understand.

- All right. Goodbye, Cliff.
- Hey, wait.

I didn't expect you
to snap so quickly.

- I don't like being kept waiting.
- Who likes that anyway?

Where are you from, Cliff?

I'm originally from Cleveland,
but I live in San Francisco.

Oh, isn't that where the
computer geniuses come from?

You mean Silicon
Valley? Yes that is correct.

And does that mean
you're a genius?

- I'm good.
- Yes, I bet on it.

Well, this is my first time
in New Orleans, Gloria.

All right, then let's
get out of here.

Wouldn't you like to come
to my apartment with me?

No I do not think so.

It wasn't exactly
a great evening.

- He started off somehow wrong.
- We can start over.

No, I've had enough for tonight.
I'll call you a taxi.

No, it's okay. I like walking.

- Good night.
- Good night.

Sarah, I'm sorry,
I couldn't help it.

He said he would tell my
parents if I didn't bring him here.

I had no other choice, really.

Now don't worry.
It's okay, don't worry.

So? What's that supposed to mean?

I knew you were special.
Sarah Asproon.

Socially critical writer. I
thought you would need my help.

I don't need your
help or anyone else's.

You need protection.
What would happen if

they found out you
worked in a store like that?

I would be able to handle that.

- What if I talked to the police?
- Oh, no, Sarah!

Oh, yes, Sarah, and
now I get it for free.

All right. Then come with me.

Sorry ladies, that's
all we need for today.

I'd appreciate it if you called

after ten o'clock
tomorrow, okay?

They stay. I think I
have something, Gloria.

There will be no difficulty
in accommodating you.

- Thanks.
- The rest all depends on you.

I mean how much
you want to earn.

You can't use enough money.

Have you ever done this type of
work? I mean TV commercials?

- No why?
- You look familiar.

I've seen you
before. Wait a second.

No, it must be a mistake.

I can get you an
appointment for this afternoon.

- Are you free?
- I'm sorry.

I just remembered that I have
work to do. Can I call you?

What's that supposed to
mean? I mean first yes, then no.

- You're already moody at the beginning.
- I'm really sorry.

But we still hear from
each other. Goodbye.

Unbelievable. A dentist
conference and it just goes away.

Hello, Sharon. So what's going on?

Have I spoiled everything?

I didn't want to say
it, but he forced me.

That's okay, I understand that.

- I wish I were dead.
- Now don't be so childish.

Let's pretend this
didn't happen, okay?

I wanted to make the desk more
a part of the room, don't you think?

You're absolutely right, Eve.

The business aspect should
be somewhat underemphasized.

It's a real shame you can't
do anything about Sharon.

Maybe I can, Lori. Possibly.

- Hello, Eve. Lori. Sharon.
- Hello, Gloria.

- What are you doing?
- We are planning a small renovation.

The new computer
won't take up much space.

And I thought about making
Sharon just part of the ambience.

Good idea. Hello, Sharon.

- Eve, can I talk to you?
- Secure. What is it about?

Damn, I have to go. I have a
meeting at the Hyatt in 20 minutes.

I'll bring the fabric
samples over tomorrow.

Yes, that's very nice.
I wish you a nice day.

I have to call Mr. Evans.

He is not there.

This is Eve Norris
from Papillon.

Please call me back
as soon as possible.

I still need some
information. Thanks.

This young man never
seems to be home.

Eve, could you please
come here for a moment?

Yes, of course. Please don't go away.

You know exactly how much I hate
answering an answering machine.

If you called home more often, it
probably wouldn't be necessary.

I don't understand
you, my boy. You

know I worry when
you're out of town.

Please be a little more considerate
and stop being so selfish.

I love you, darling,
so call home so

your poor mother
can sleep well at night.

Yes, mother, of course.

This is Eve Norris from Papillon.
Please call me back as soon as possible.

I need more
information. Thanks.

Hello, Cliff. I'm actually
quite glad you're not here.

I told you I would
wait for you to

come to me, and I
guess I should have.

Forgive me for this
momentary weakness,

but it's hard to always
wait. Very hard.

Hello, Cliff Evans.
This is Gloria speaking.

I'm really sorry
about last night

and I'd like to
make it up to you.

I'll have dinner at the Green
Apple about eight o'clock.

Hello? Hello? Hello?

I'm busy most evenings, and
then I also have a private life.

- Do you live alone?
- They can really question you.

I'm just trying to
understand. I'm very sorry.

No, don't say it. Let me guess.

Why I do it. Not true?

Well, let's put it this way. I
see it as a kind of mission.

- You know, for humanitarian goals.
- You mean like the lady with the lamp?

- The Statue of Liberty.
- Florence Nightingale.

- Well, yes. Both.
- I'm beaten.

Gloria, there's a call for you.
Would you please follow me?

Thank you very much, excuse me.

Thanks.

Hello?

I heard you, but if you
think I'm going to get up

and leave in the middle
of dinner, then you're crazy.

Okay, okay. I will
meet you at home.

Ah, Cliff. I'm terribly
sorry, but I have to go.

- Nothing everyday, I hope.
- No, not what you think.

- I'll make it up to you.
- I know, of course.

Thanks. Goodbye.

Why don't you ask
Dorothy to give you a hand if

you can't handle it on
your own? Oh yes, right.

I have never heard of Eve Norris
from Harvard Business School.

Yes and?

A customer made me an
offer tonight that I won't refuse.

What? I just
don't believe that.

It's about time I had
some experiences, right?

That's put very casually.
Who is the lucky one?

Come along and see for yourself.

Well, that's an
offer I can't refuse.

So see you. See you then.

I haven't felt this
way since high school.

Don't forget, there are
two tall, handsome Texas

cowboys who are eager
to get the two of us into bed.

Sarah, you are impossible. That's
exactly what I tell the other girls.

- Yes, exactly.
- Wait. - I'm ready.

Hello, I'm Gloria
and this is Eve.

It's really cool. Hey, Greg!
The hookers are here.

It's crazy. Well then,
you snails, come on in.

Well, my dears, it's a
nice place here, isn't it?

- Hey!
- Look at how they're built. Wow! Two prize-winning cows.

Would you like a beer? We even
have a refrigerator here. Crazy, huh?

- Is your friend a cowboy too?
- You can bet your pussy on it.

Born and raised in the
state of Texas. Right, Greg?

Precisely. Except I don't
drive cows anymore, I sell them.

- Champagne for the ladies.
- I will get him.

Something imported from France.
1983s. Very cold.

And I think we're
starting to get hot.

Hello, floor waiter? Can you
please send us another nice bottle?

Sit down, my dears.
Make yourself comfortable.

Hey, little one, you
really look incredibly

hot, you can't complain
about that at all.

And something like that just
comes into the house here.

Reliability is part of the business.
This is Gloria.

Nice to meet you, sweetie.

Maybe we should
really get this party going.

Make music, maestro!

What a sweet, slim,
little foot you have.

Just what every cowboy wants.

The music sounds really
cool, don't you think?

Yes, ride! Ride
your cowboy, kid!

You like that, don't you?

Now come, my little one.

- Can I help you?
- Yes, I would like to speak to Mr. Allison.

- I'm a model.
- Well, it's bad at the moment.

We have an awful lot to do
today. Please take a seat first.

Thanks.

I don't blame him
for complaining.

You brought out every wrinkle
and even his double chin.

Oh, that was poetry.
Pure poetry, Richard.

A portrait like this
will go down in history.

He doesn't want to make a story, darling.
He wants to look young. Do you understand?

You can't peel a truffle
the size of a cucumber.

Who would go to bed
with an old fag like that?

You're really driving me crazy.

- Yes?
- Sorry, that was the wrong door.

That was a mistake. Goodbye.

- Second. - Yes?
- Aren't you a friend of Cliff Evans?

- Yes.
- Would you say hello to him for me? My name is Jason.

- Yes, of course.
- Thanks.

Dorothy, I have no idea how
much longer I can keep this up.

- You should take vitamins.
- I do not mean that.

I mean the hide-and-seek game. I
want to call you by your real name.

I always have to think twice
before I say Gloria to you.

It's even worse. Someone knows.

One of my clients.
He's blackmailing me.

Then I have to do something.
We are not finished yet.

Oh, it may not be
you, but I think it's me.

Sarah, I don't think you realize

that there is more at stake
for both of us than just a book.

This is a million
dollar operation.

Dorothy? Have
you lost your mind?

The book is all that matters.

And all of this is nothing
more than a game.

- It's a business.
- Oh.

Cliff.

Oh, by the way, I should give
you my warmest regards. By Jason.

- Oh really?
- Who is Jason?

We worked together
at summer camp.

I can't even imagine
you at holiday camp.

As a swimming instructor. You know, the guy at
the edge of the pool who never goes into the water.

Oh yes, I was in love
with him when I was 16.

No, this was a boys' camp.

This champagne
really got into my head.

I'm even a little dizzy.

- You know, I can't believe this is happening.
- Why not?

Well, not to me
anyway. You see, I am...

- Let's go to bed.
- What did you say?

You understood me very well.

But it's okay.

Trust me.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

You did everything
you could, darling.

But your boyfriend is really weird. It
almost seemed like he was scared.

- He had a headache.
- You were great.

I can't wait to see
what I have here.

- Are you completely crazy?
- Its possible. - What are you doing?

I don't like this game anymore.

- You spoiled everything! Gloria, please!
- I'm sorry.

We can connect your Freeport and
Baton Rouge offices to New Orleans.

But you have to decide where
you want the main system.

I asked the branch
offices for a report.

Yes, but that was 2 months
ago. And you hadn't informed me.

So what's the problem now?

This is an internal
matter. So, it looks like the

offices haven't decided
what they actually need yet.

So, what do you think about us
sending one of our men to each

office to put together an individual
presentation for each office?

That's a good idea.
Just what I need.

- When would you send your people out?
- As quickly as possible.

Unbelievable. I didn't know
this building was on this street.

So, what do you think of
this individual presentation?

Why are you asking
me that twice now?

Do I have that? So you can see
how excited I am about this idea.

Yes I do not know.

But I beg you, I wouldn't
think about it at all.

Believe me, this works. In any
case, I don't see any problem with it.

Yes, I hope so too.

Bloody hell. Where
are we here anyway?

I'll call a taxi.

- I'll call you as soon as I know something specific.
- Taxi!

Can I help you, sir?

Yes, of course. I just
saw a girl walk in here.

- Your name, sir?
- Listen, I'll just wait outside.

- Hello, Cliff.
- Come in, I'm in the shower right now.

Could you excuse
me for a second?

I brought us something to eat.

- Was that Eve's idea?
- It doesn't matter at all.

- Do you have any wine?
- No, unfortunately only beer.

Well then let's
pretend it's wine.

- It's a nice apartment.
- Yes. Listen. You can save your sayings.

I don't want to hear that this is
the most exciting night of your life.

Oh, you've heard that
before, haven't you?

I know all these
lectures. I can imagine it.

- I just wanted to be with you.
- Why did you buy this dress?

What happened then? Did
some suitor stand you up?

- Suitor?
- All right, then one of your friends.

- You're not jealous, are you?
- Jealous? For a hooker?

- Why are you so mean?
- What the hell do you want from me?

- I want the same thing you want, Cliff.
- How do you know what I want?

Gloria. There's
something I want to tell you.

- No, not now.
- No no. But now.

- I've never done this before.
- I want you.

Where have you been last night?

- Peter, stop it!
- Answer me! For fuck's sake, answer!

Leave me satisfied!

Eve said you didn't work, you
bitch! Where have you been?

- That does not concern you!
- Oh yes, that actually concerns me a lot.

- Let's get this straight.
- Let go of me right now!

Don't be rude, little one.

Now get some sleep. I don't
want you to look like an old box.

I wanted to tell you something.
Because of last night.

No, don't say anything more.
I like you very much.

Really, really, really like.

What is that?

You forgot that with me.

I wanted you to have something
to remind you of me. Thanks.

Oh, I'm late.
Can I drop you off somewhere?

- The Good Samaritan.
- Here we go again.

I'm sorry. But last night...

I can't help it.
Women just scare me.

- But not me.
- No! Yes.

- I do not know either.
- Okay, but I have to go now.

I can't let you go now.
I'm coming with you.

- So, Cliff. Now don't be silly.
- That's not me.

To hell with everything.
The company, my customers,

your customers, with everything.
- You're crazy. - No, that's not me.

Can't we be like the others?
I mean, just you and me?

OK. Let's go.

Laura will give you the
information you need. In order?

Girls, I would like to introduce
you to Laura. She will work with us.

And I want her to
feel at home here.

But it's about time.
Where have you been?

Oh, she's my replacement,
huh? I'm only a few hours late.

Please don't irritate me. Lori,
can you take Laura down to Tabby?

- She might need some clothes.
- I'll go too, just to have a look.

- Sharon?
- Paulette has to be at the Sheraton at seven sharp.

Okay, you can go. But don't
forget the time, is that clear?

My customers have been
looking for you all day.

What happened? You
could have at least called.

Then I would have
sent someone else there.

I was with Cliff.
The computer geek.

I know who you mean, darling.

I just thought it was a little
too tender for your taste.

Sex isn't everything, Dorothy.

I like him very much.
We go well together.

Sex isn't everything, I think
so too, Sarah, but it's part of it.

What will you do?

You are very smart.

And you made the right choice.

Our agency is the
best in America.

Then we'd best
take some time off.

That was wonderful, don't worry.

I am not worried.

- We'll handle this thing.
- I'm not worried.

Good. Trust me.

- Do not go!
- I wish I didn't have to.

Me too.

Peter, don't overdo it.

I'm being very nice to you, or
do you have reason to complain?

- Go away!
- You're breaking my heart.

- I'll open it.
- No. I'm going already.

This guy here wants to talk to you.

- Don't you want to introduce us?
- Oh, this is Peter.

- And who is he? - This is Cliff.
- I'm Cliff Evans. Ideas Unlimited.

I'm setting up a computer
program for Papillon.

I couldn't find Mrs. Norris,
but I had a few questions.

- Oh yes?
- I wrote everything down here.

A kind of questionnaire. Your answers
will help me to develop the program.

- Is that all?
- Yes. I'm leaving now. I hope I didn't disturb you.

- No. Thank you, Cliff.
- Well, see you then.

- Who was this guy?
- You heard what he said.

- I'm going to get a drink, do you want some too?
- No thanks.

You can't just withdraw now.

How many times do I
have to explain this to you?

Let's stop before it's too late.

Our cover is pretty
much blown anyway.

You mean Peter? He is a fool.

He is unlikely to kill the
goose that lays golden eggs.

- No, I was thinking about Cliff too.
- Thats what I feared.

Well, I can handle Peter.

And if he goes to the
police, it will be good publicity.

- A free publicity.
- For the book?

Naturally. The agency
will definitely no longer exist.

What, Sarah? Are you really
determined to get out of here?

None of that is the
point. You know that.

Cliff goes back to San
Francisco in a few days.

Then you have
enough time to think.

Maybe you'll come
around after all.

Hello, Phil. The usual.

Jason, you were right. I'm too
confused to make such a connection.

It meant a lot to me to be here.

To use your
apartment, your things.

You are a real friend to me.

The best I've ever had. Only...

I met a girl.

She is...

Well, how should
I put it? I want her.

I don't know more than that.

All I know is that I want her.

Even though we are
totally different. She is...

- Hello?
- Cliff, this is Sarah. I need you.

- Where are you?
- Corner of Camp and Julia. - Sarah!

I think you'll end up in the Guinness
Book of Records at some point.

I'd better go now.

- Are you sure?
- That we will be happy together?

Yes.

- I'll meet you at the airport.
- Okay.

Good.

Sharon, lock the office and leave
the key with the security guard.

I'll come by later
and sign the papers.

OK. Take care.

I've been thinking a
little myself these days.

And I came to the
conclusion that you are right.

At some point it
just has to end.

- Let's get on with the book.
- Oh, Dorothy!

- I'm leaving town.
- Now wait a minute.

You can't just throw everything
away so easily. Quite simply like that.

I do not do that. I believe in
the book as much as you do.

And I have a
portable typewriter.

This is Cliff Evans' fault.

I hope you know
what you're doing too.

I will contact.

Thanks.

Oh, Dorothy. I'm
so glad to reach you.

Are you free tonight?

I thought we could go
over the manuscript.

Cliff? He still has a few things
to clarify that are important to him.

He knows where I am.

No, I'm fine.
Okay, see you later.

This brings us
back to Chapter 1.

Sarah!
