THE EROTIC CONFIDENCES OF A BED TOO INVITING

Dominique!

Dominique!

Stop it!

Dominique!

Dominique, stop it, it's Jean-Louis!

Stop it!

Dominique.

Oh, Jean Louis!

- It's you. You scared me. - Dominique, it's been so long.

Three years. Almost a century.

A whole time of my life I could have forgotten.

And you, you come out of the blue, in the night,

to push me against the sidewalk. - I had no other choice.

At night, I ride fast without seeing anybody.

You haven't changed.

Let's not stay here, let's have a drink somewhere.

Did you see my clothes?

You'd better come at my home, I live nearby, we're almost there.

You know, I just got off work.

What are doing now?

I'm...

a go-go girl. - What? Go-go girl?

What is that, go-go girl?

Can you pour us two Scotch? The kitchen is upstairs.

Don't look at me like that.

You haven't changed, still so beautiful.

Morally, I have changed.

Ah yes, I see.

Idiot!

This bed, it's a long story.

It appeared in my life

during a weekend I was spending in the countryside

at the house of some friends of Irene, my inseparable friend.

It's cold!

Come!

It looks lovely.

Oh, you'll see, they are charming people.

Very simple, not in the game, but adorable.

They have to be to invite me without knowing me.

What a pleasure to wake up tomorrow morning in the countryside!

Oh yes, it will be different from Paris.

And it was quite by chance I discovered this house.

- But you live here all year long? - Yes, yes.

It's been two years since we left Paris.

And you don't miss it?

Oh no, because it's Paris that comes to us.

- Some champagne? - Yes, thank you!

And quite nicely presented!

No, thanks, I will be drunk.

I am already.

My husband will carry you in your room.

With pleasure!

I will use my last strength to save you this effort.

You see, it's our only evening off, SO excuse us.

No problem.

You are right. Let's go to sleep.

- I will show you your room. - Thank you.

I think you will sleep very well.

Ah, yes? The air of the countryside makes me sleepy.

Well, me, the champagne wakes me up!

- This is your room. - Ah, thank you!

Good night!

We'll tuck you in later.

Ben... a quoi ¢a sert?

I don't know but tonight, anyway, for sleeping.

I go to the bathroom!

How are our beautiful guests doing?

I think they're getting ready to spend a calm and quiet night.

Here's to this calm and quiet night, then!

Nice, don't you think?

They are lovely.

But it must not be fun everyday for your friend Nadege.

You know, they're very in love with each other, they don't need anybody else.

Yes, it's well known.

Lovers are alone in their world.

And that's why they need company.

But what are you doing?

I'm looking for the headboard!

You know what it reminds me of?

No, what?

The podium on which we dance in the night club.

- Not quite! - Look!

I hope we don't disturb you?

- No, not at all. - No!

They look like two young residents.

Ah yes, house residents.

Of a very modern convent!

Very charming, anyway.

And here is it, to have nice dreams.

Thank you!

Look at this one! Oh, he's so funny!

Well, well!

Poor girl, she is very busy!

They look like two elephants crossing a river!

Well, what is he doing there?

Ah, this one, don't tell me he won't sleep at his office tomorrow!

But what are they doing? They seem to be entangled!

And this one!

What a position!

I can't take it anymore!

Thanks, I hadn't laughed like that in ages.

Yes, it's funny.

Say, your friends are disgusting.

I suppose they offered you the bed as a bonus.

No!

When I wanted to furnish the apartment,

I went to the flea market to see my friend Gérard.

You remember my friend Gérard?

Remember, I bought him my glasses.

Ah.

He wanted to sell me a copper bed, but I...

For you, I'll lower the price to 1500 francs.

15007? Is that what you call a special discount?

Oh, look, Dominique, these days, a copper bed from 1920,

there's nothing more expensive that.

I don't care whether your bed is from 1920 or not.

I liked this one because it was funny.

- What else do I have... - Hey, Gérard, the truck is here.

One moment, they're delivering me furniture.

Is all this bric-a-brac yours?

I don't even know what there is... I emptied a whole villa.

Oh, look at the bed.

I bet it's the first time you saw one like that.

Don't bet!

If you like it, I'll do you a price.

Deal!

And that's how this bed came into my life.

Are you disappointed?

A little, yes.

Give me your glass, I'll give you another Scotch.

Ah, I'm fascinated by this bed.

Men are disconcerting.

You were the great love of my life,

you left me without explanation to go conquer America,

I run into you quite by chance,

and you're more interested in my bed than in me.

I believe in the signs of destiny.

And this bed is one of them.

Its being close to you whets my curiosity.

But who says I didn't dream this various stories

and it hasn't changed my life?

Come on, tell me, Scheherazade.

He was a strange dance teacher.

He had seen in me the special aptitude to inspire a sharp desire to souls,

even in hopeless cases.

- Goodbye, Master. - Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye, Master.

No, not you. You stay.

We will rehearse for your tonight audition.

Arch your back.

Very good, be careful.

And one two three,

one two three, one two three,

one two three. Hold your thighs up high,

well stretched.

That's it!

Good!

With flexible arms.

Yes, that's nice!

Very good!

Your body well flexible.

Manége.

Your face quivering.

One two three, one two three, that's good.

Be careful with your ronds de jambe.

Keep a flexible leg.

Yes, that's nice!

Up high, well stretched.

Be careful.

Don't forget the pause.

Good!

Never had this pleasant teacher

sent me such a beautiful

and alert creature.

I will thank him as he deserves it.

I will tame it well.

You have to be very strict to make it progress

and yield to all my wishes.

Come on.

The legs quivering.

The back of the knee stretched.

The chest sticked out.

The rump more arched.

The neck so proud.

Here!

It's almost perfect!

It's more than perfect!

Now, trot!

Here.

Nice trot, well done.

The thigh more nervous!

Here!

Trot, trot, trot!

Faster,

faster!

And now, gallop!

Ah, that's wonderful!

A nice little creature.

How happy it makes me!

And those innocent pleasures I offered unknowingly to naughty old men,

I made men in the prime of life pay a hundredfold.

- Robert! - Ah, here you are!

What a day!

I was scared to be late.

No, no...

You have plenty of time to have a drink, we'll take the 7:10 one.

Well?

How was your day? Were you able to buy all you wanted?

Yes, all of them, including Madeleine's bracelet.

I had to wait, the fastener still didn't fit.

You didn't lose it?

I don't have it anymore!

What will Madeleine say?

Well, come on, come on.

Easy. Try to remember where you could have lost it.

I don't know, was it in a taxi, in an office, in a café?

- You remember? - Charles...

Charles, what's happening to me is awful.

I never met such a generous guy, Champagne, everything.

- Did he bring you to his home? - Oh, I forgot everything after.

And him, he wouldn't have forgotten to pay you, by chance?

Ah, yes.

What a smart girl!

This one's for you.

You know him?

No.

He's not a regular customer.

Don't you go?

Honey, without a minimum of psychology, you'll never make it in this job.

Maud is right, it's the difference between the amateur and the artist.

What do you mean?

A real woman must know everything about a man when she sees him.

For instance, this one is not used to this kind of affairs.

So why don't you smile at him to help?

It'll make him run away.

He knows who I am but he needs to imagine

that there is something else between us.

It's like fishing, you need to lure the fish.

And next time, I'll follow.

If there is a next time.

See you later, honey.

It would be nice to spend some time together.

Yes, maybe.

Why not?

- Do you often come to Paris? - Each month.

- Are you married? - Of course!

You're not too forward.

We barely know each other.

Well... let's make up for lost time.

I see only one solution, it's to call this girl... Maud.

- Where? - At the bar!

Oh, if I tell her I lost a piece of jewelry, I won't see it again!

Well, go, then, we'll catch the 10:30 one.

Under what pretext will I go back to her place?

The same one as this afternoon!

No, I couldn't, I don't want anymore, plus she'll be suspicious. No!

Listen, Charles,

how long have you been my friend? - Oh...

The College Saint Joseph was...

25 years ago.

Well, for the sake of this old friendship, for the first time...

I will ask you something. - Ohno! No!

I can't take the blame!

- I'm too scared by your woman! - It's not that!

What, then?

You will go.

I?

I never cheated on Germaine!

This one...

is for me.

Go, but careful: have some tact.

Don't worry, you'll see.

I think you did it.

I think too.

One Cinzano.

My children, sometimes, you deserve your money.

What happened to you, honey?

Excuse-me, can you come with me? I'm in such a hurry.

Okey.

Well, I'll drink it later.

Well, I didn't understand a thing.

Where is this damn bracelet?

Excuse me, I have to go.

You killed me, honey.

I understand why you were such in a hurry.

Well?

Oh, you can't imag...

Oh shit, the bracelet!

I forgot it.

Did they pay you before of after?

It depends.

Sometimes before,

sometimes after.

I lived with my parents in the Quartier Latin, near Luxembourg.

I was 16.

I was a virgin, and full of illusions.

And his name was

Philippe.

Believe me, I never met such a vicious girl.

Like a cat.

If you want to try her, you can have her tonight.

No, thank you, Noélle is enough for me.

You told me she didn't want to have sex!

Idiot, there's more than this.

Maybe,

but I am a sensual man.

- Mee too! - Well, then, what are you waiting for?

I don't know where to go, that's as simple as that.

All you needed was to ask.

I know a small hotel in the 17th arrondissement which is...

very pleasant.

You don't honestly believe Noélle would go in a hotel?

She wouldn't know!

You will pay the room before and make her believe it's a friend's room.

- She won't believe it.! - She will!

There are some normal rooms which look like studios.

For instance... Here, for instance, the number 1.

- You think? - All you have to do is convince her.

- Hello, young man. - Hello.

I would like a room.

Well, come in.

But you are alone?

- No, I need it for 5pm. - Today?

Right, I book one for you.

5pm, right.

Yes, but I would like the number 1.

The number 1? But it's the smallest!

Well, I would like this one.

Ah, good!

For 5pm today.

I'd like to pay now.

As you wish. I will write it's paid.

Can I have a look?

No problem, it was just cleaned up.

Come. It's the second one on the first floor.

Here.

You like it?

- Hello, Mister Lambert! - Do you have something for me?

Oh, for you, always, Mister Lambert. Come in.

We haven't seen you in a long time, Mister Lambert.

It's our most beautiful room, Mister Lambert.

It's cozy, don't you think?

But what kind of bed is that?

A bed.

But I don't want this room!

Why? Because of the bed?

It makes me dizzy.

I don't want it, that's all.

Don't make a fuss.

I don't like it.

- Give me another room. - It's friday, we are full.

Look,

find a solution. - Oh, thank you, Mister Lambert!

It's booked but I'll give you the number 1.

Would you like a hostess today?

No, thanks, not today.

Oh Paul, please!

Well, come on.

Leave us a while.

Please, don't behave.

Let's get comfortable.

I spent my whole night thinking of you.

- And your day? - Idiot!

What's the matter?

There are always people watching.

Do you think your parents will let you come at our place

in St Rémy next summer?

It will depend on what they planned for their holidays.

It's better not to talk about it too soon.

Maman trusts your parents, I think it could be possible.

Saint Rémy is in a long time...

I'm fed up with always seeing you in cafés and in a rush.

I think it's wonderful.

What's important is to see each other everyday.

Monique and Bernard too.

But they are alone, and they can kiss without people watching them.

But Bernard has his own bedroom, his parents live in Roanne.

If I had a bedroom, would you come to my house?

Oh, I don't know.

Of course, idiot!

You know, Philippe, you never told me about your cousin.

What?

Who is this cousin who's letting you stay in his studio?

A cousin!

But are you sure he won't come back?

He is at his parents'.

Oh! Do you have the key?

What?

The key to enter, do you have it?

Don't worry, he introduced me to his landlord, she is very nice.

- Is it here? - Yes.

What did you say to the landlord?

Nothing, that I had work to do,

and that my cousin lent me his bedroom while he was out.

And you think she'll believe you?

I don't care about that. Come.

Hello, did you book a room?

Yes, number 1.

Wait, I will show you.

No, the number 1 is occupied, I will give you the number 3.

Thank you for taking me here!

- Noélle... - Please, don't speak!

I understood very well, you are like the others!

- Let's go... - Not at all!

At least be courageous, go all the way with your shit!

- I'm a bastard, let's go. - If you brought me here,

that's because you think I'm a whore. Then I'm a whore.

Well!

Come!

Philippe!

Noélle, please.

It's Renaud, that bastard!

I hate that filthy pervert!

Get dressed.

I won't take you here anymore, I promise.

I don't care.

Now I'm disgraced.

No, my love...

There's no purest girl in the world.

I love you.

I will never touch you.

Philippe...

When I think I wanted to be a virgin on my wedding day.

Yes, my love.

You will be a virgin at your wedding, I promise.

Virgin, Philippe.

Virgin, you promise?

Yes, my love.

I promise.

Virgin, Philippe...

Virgin.

Virgin.

Confusingly, I felt like it was a gift from God

to have been revealed on my first affair.

I was a woman, then, not able to do without men,

and well decided to keep them from doing without me.

Relax... Relax...

Kesso, I'm in love.

Don't worry, it will pass.

For the first time,

I met a 40-year-old man.

Really? What does it look like?

It's comfortable.

Here, it's over.

Thank you.

Patrick!

Patrick, hurry up, I will be late.

You are quite nervous today.

I still have to go to the furrier to try on my panther coat.

Patrick!

It's been one hour!

Excuse me a moment.

It is dry. I will make you hair in a minute.

Thank you!

A panther coat?

Congratulations.

Business is booming for your fiancé.

I'll tell you a secret:

it's another one.

Again?

Yes, but this time, he's the man of my life.

He was last time, too.

Yes, but this time, he's a man,

areal one.

- Maurice knows what he wants. - What is he doing?

I don't know exactly, maybe export, import, or something like that.

But he has a Mercedes,

a driver, and two secretaries built like Hercules.

You are so lucky.

Now, it's over, you like it?

What's important is that Maurice likes it.

- You see, it wasn't too long? - No, no.

Who's that young girl?

She's a slightly crazy,

pleasant girl, who takes care of herself.

I see.

- Do you know her friend? - Maurice? The new one?

If you agree to snitch on Maurice, OK for 10 000 francs.

But there's no way you go back on your word.

You know me, Fred, I never snitched on anybody.

But Maurice double-crossed me and I don't forgive.

It won't be easy, because he can smell a rat from miles.

It can only be done at my place.

But I warn you, Maurice isn't harmless.

If you miss him, we're both dead.

This is my business.

You, you just have to tell me his habits.

Well, here itis...

He waits in the Mercedes while one of his bodyguards searchs the apartment.

He doesn't miss a thing, except for the box springs.

And he doesn't check under the bed?

Of course he does.

But this round bed was adapted on a rectangular metal box springs

under which a thin guy like you can slip.

That's ok?

Perfect.

Perfect. It will be a child's play.

Ah!

Will he have a gun on him?

Yes.

He always put it on the night table.

But be careful...

I repeat myself, he's fast.

Don't worry.

When he comes here,

it will be his last trip.

Don't worry.

No, no, don't.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

You've been making yourself scarce.

Business. I'm overwhelmed by work.

Even today, I don't have much time.

Let's not waste it, then. Come.

I came only for this.

They're waiting for me.

Why don't you shove your dough up your ass, together with your bitch!

Ciao. I'll see you when you have calmed down.

Who do you think you are?

You think you can get rid of me like that?

Have you seen yourself?

Tell me, have you seen yourself?

Have you seen the bags under your eyes?

And your hair going thinner?

And still you'd like to be loved for who you are?

And, on top of that, by a kid!

Go ahead, hit me!

Go ahead, go fuck her!

Don't you like me when I'm like that?

You know well that I have you under my skin.

So why don't I see you anymore?

Don't you want me anymore?

Don't be silly!

No, Fred, no!

Bitch!

You're a real man-eater.

Don't you worry, my love. You still have five minutes to live.

Why kill a man,

when you can make him suffer with elegance?

Rare pleasure... and not the least.

Hello, ladies!

Hello, Nathalie.

The weather is nice today.

What a lovely child.

They can say whatever they want, well-educated girls still exist.

Hello, Father.

Hello, my child.

The weather is nice today.

Yes...

Excuse me Sir.

Don't worry.

Where can I leave it?

Could you bring it up to me? I can't go out.

First flood, on the left.

Open, the key's on the door.

I'm sorry,

my brother won't be there until tonight, and he locked me inside.

- But where are your parents? - Travelling.

- They'll come back in two years. - Two years?

Yes, but they left a long time ago. Come in!

Just a few minutes, I don't want to disturb you.

You won't, I love visits!

Sit down.

Oh, excuse me, I'm so messy.

Sit down.

What can I offer you?

Nothing, thanks, I'll go right now.

What a shame,

I'm so lonely.

- Don't you ever see nobody? - Oh, yes, from my window!

But my brother is very strict,

I'm never allowed to go out.

He's a little old-fashioned.

Today, young girls have so much liberty.

That's true.

But he says I'm too vulnerable.

Poor child.

You lack tenderness,

I can feel it.

Tenderness?

Exactly, you guessed right.

I know young girls very well. I have a little niece your age.

We have to take care of her a lot, if we don't want her to go bad.

Of course.

We are so weak,

so fragile,

SO sensitive,

helpless.

Oh, no, please,

don't stop,

but we'll be more comfortable on the bed.

Come, I need so much tenderness.

My skirt is hurting me.

My t-shirt, too, he's keeping me so warm.

How old are you, Miss?

Fifteen.

- Fifteen? - And a half!

I have to go.

Oh, no, please!

I wanted so much to introduce you to my brother.

I would be so happy if he knew you.

Well, that's done!

What are you doing here?

Well... I was in the street...

Of couse!

And you, what are you doing?

Who undressed you?

He did!

That's not true, I swear it!

- Is it him or not? - Yes, it's him, right, Sir?

Yes, that's me. But let me explain.

I have a little niece her age...

Well done!

You'll explain yourself to the police chief.

Please, not that.

What else do you want me to do?

She'll never forget this rape.

I swear nothing happened,

and I'm ready to compensate for it.

A nice trip will make her forget.

- It will be very expensive. - That's not a problem.

To the bearer.

Well, here is it.

You see? We have the money for winter sports.

Come, fake brother, I deserved it.

Hello, ladies!

Hello, Sister!

The weather is nice today.

Hello, Sir!

The weather is nice today.

We get quickly bored with the simplest days.

A man is not very much once you've seen everything of him.

That's how I got the idea to redouble my efforts.

Waiter?

- How much do I owe you? - 8,50.

That's all you have?

I don't have change.

- That's on me.. - Ah?

Thank you.

- I don't know how to thank you. - l do!

Sorry?

I said I do know how you can thank me.

Then how, please?

By coming this evening to the cocktail party I host

in honor of Murielle, my friend Daniel's fiancée.

You've got a nerve!

You can bring someone.

I'll be inconsolable, but brave.

Tonight, we present the collection.

If I don't finish too late,

I might come. Good bye.

And now, let's set up this cocktail party.

- My compliments. - My cocktail party was a success.

So many pretty women!

What a great atsmosphere!

I'm sorry your fiancée Muriell didn't come.

What if she didn't come?

- Who? - The girl.

- I'd be inconsolable. - But heroic.

Go to the kitchen, I'll open.

I finished so late, I didn't dare to come.

You are welcome.

The last guests just left.

- Really? - But come.

I want you to see what they did in my beautiful apartment.

Look.

Indeed, you had fun.

But I'd better leave because you're going to ask me to help, for sure.

A much thankless task is waiting for you.

Which one?

The one consisting in comforting Daniel, whose fiancée didn't come.

I thought it was in her honor?

You see how women are.

Sommelier, let the champagne flow like water!

Here is it!

And now, let the real party begin.

Special vintage.

- Champagne? - Yes.

Music!

Thank you.

- To your love affairs. - To ours.

Daniel!

Murielle!

My name's not Murielle, it's Sophie!

You're Sophie!

It's bad!

Stéphane!

Ah no, no!

Who's that?

That's Daniel. Let's make room for him.

He's so sad.

Oh, that's Daniel!

Oh it's bad, Daniel!

Daniel!

Jean-Louis...

Jean-Louis...

Jean-Louis...

You didn't waste your time.

The pure young girl I was couldn't hold you back.

The pure young girl who bought this bed,

to welcome the whole world in it.

Maybe the women will be luckier.

With her charm,

her lies, her traps.

Unfortunaly, I have no idea.

And, you know,

with you I'll always be a loser.

Which means?

You remember, back in the days, you kept calling me...

What was the word?

Oh, yes, a dumbbell.

So I made up everything, like Scheherazade.

But, unlike her, I could only keep you one night.

All these stories were not true?

No!

Stay.

No.

You're driving me straight into the trap I set up for you,

and where I'll know how, dear prisoner,

to keep you for my best, and for your worse.

Hello Sir, do you have a room left please?

You're lucky, I have one left, and it's the most beautiful.

- Can we have it right now? - Of course, come up please.

Here it is.

I hope you won't mind, but the bed is square.

You won't come at my place anymore?

Yes.

But under one condition.

Which one?

That you get rid of this awful round bed that I hate.

I will get rid of it, and it will continue its infernal existence.

Won't our love seem a little tasteless to you after all these affairs?

Don't be silly.

You'll love only me?

Yes, of course.

Forever?

Yes.

Forever.

Now...

Tell me.

Well, here it is.

The night we went to the Irene friends' place in the country,

I'm sure my imagination was more perverse

than the trivial games they would have liked to play with us.

Ah yes, house residents.

Of a very modern convent!

Very charming, anyway.

Here, to make beautiful dreams.

Thank you!

Without them knowing, I mentally undressed them

and make their bodies yield to the lustful fantasies of my wishes.
