[ man #2 toasting in French ]

- Man: TO DAVID AND CATHERINE. - Woman: AND CATHERINE.

Woman #2: DAVID AND CATHERINE.

Man #2: CONGRATULATIONS, GUYS.

Man #3: BRAVO, DAVID.

I WAS FOUR OR FIVE MILES INSIDE ENEMY TERRITORY

AND I HAD THE TRIPLANE IN MY SIGHTS.

HE WAS SMOKING A BIT,

BUT STILL GAME FOR A BIT OF FUN.

SO I CLOSED IN.

- HE WENT THIS WAY, I FOLLOWED. - MERCI.

HE PULLED UP, I PULLED UP RIGHT AFTER HIM--

ENGINE SCREAMING, AIRFRAME STRETCHED TO BREAKING.

- THEN... [ imitates machine-gun ] - [ crowd gasps ]

BITS OF CANVAS, WOOD, GOD-KNOWS-WHAT EXPLODED IN FRONT OF ME.

- DAVID BOURNE. - CATHERINE HILL.

AMERICAN.

WHAT BRINGS YOU TO PARIS?

PAINTERS.

PAINTERS OR PAINTINGS?

- ARE YOU A PAINTER? - NO, A WRITER.

SO HOW LONG ARE YOU STAYING IN PARIS?

I DON'T KNOW. YOU?

I LIVE HERE. CAME AFTER THE WAR.

DID YOU FIGHT LIKE YOUR FRIEND?

YES, WE WERE IN THE FLYING CORPS TOGETHER.

AN AVIATOR. HOW EXCITING.

David's voice: USUALLY SHROUDED PARIS

- WITH THE LOW GRAY CLOUDS - [ car horn honking ]

"BUT MONDAY HELD THE PROMISE OF INDIAN SUMMER,

- A GOLDEN AFTERNOON FOLLOWED BY DAYS OF WARM SUN." - [ honking continues ]

"AND BY FRIDAY EVERYONE HAD FORGOTTEN WINTER.

I THOUGHT SUMMER WOULD NEVER END."

COME DOWN, YOU HERMIT.

I'LL BE RIGHT DOWN.

YOU CAUGHT ME JUST AS I WAS PUTTING PENCIL TO PAPER.

[ chuckles ]

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?

- WHAT DO YOU MEAN? - THE CAR.

IT'S YOURS. I BOUGHT IT FOR YOU.

YOU DID WHAT?

IT'S A PRESENT BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.

[ laughs ]

YOU'RE CRAZY.

IF I'M GOING TO MARRY AN IMPOVERISHED GENIUS,

HE HAS TO HAVE SOMETHING TO DRIVE ME AROUND IN.

- OH, WE'RE GETTING MARRIED? - YOU KNOW WE ARE.

- CAN I COME UP? - N-N-N... NO.

LET'S GO OUT IN THE CAR.

SET? CONTACT.

- [ grunts ] - [ engine starts ]

David's voice: IT WAS ONLY SIX WEEKS SINCE WE FIRST MET

AT THE HOTEL CRILLON IN PARIS.

WE HAD A WHIRLWIND ROMANCE, BUT I WASN'T OVERLY CONCERNED

ABOUT MY WRITING OR ANYTHING ELSE.

I WAS JUST SO HAPPY BEING WITH THIS GIRL

THAT I LOVED AND WAS MARRIED TO.

[ engine stops ]

MERCI.

THIS IS COZY.

COME, HUSBAND. LIE BY ME.

MONSIEUR.

MERCI.

[ seagulls screeching ]

MM, BREAKFAST.

WHY DO PEOPLE ALWAYS GET SO HUNGRY AFTER THEY HAVE SEX?

- DO THEY? - WELL, I DO.

WHAT SHOULD WE DO TODAY?

WELL, HOW ABOUT A SWIM

AND THEN A NAP BEFORE LUNCH?

A NAP?

WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY NOVEL IDEA.

WHERE DO YOU GET THESE IDEAS?

I'M THE INVENTIVE TYPE, YOU KNOW?

AND I'M THE DESTRUCTIVE TYPE.

- WHAT WILL YOU DESTROY NEXT? - YOU.

ONE NIGHT I'M GOING TO DO SOMETHING--

SOMETHING YOU'VE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF OR IMAGINED.

[ laughs ]

LUCKILY I CAN COUNT ON YOU TO SLEEP LIKE A LOG.

DON'T LULL YOURSELF INTO ANY FALSE SECURITY.

[ sighs ]

DO YOU LOVE ME THE WAY I AM?

THAT'S A FUNNY QUESTION.

IF I CHANGED, WOULD YOU STILL?

SURE.

- DO YOU NEED THE BUG? - NO.

ARE YOU GOING SOMEWHERE?

I HAVE A LITTLE SURPRISE FOR YOU.

- WILL I LIKE IT? - I HOPE YOU WILL.

[ reel clicking ]

[ reel clicking ]

SOFTLY, MONSIEUR. SOFTLY.

DON'T TRY TO BRING HIM IN TOO QUICKLY.

UN LOUP! UN GRAND LOUP!

[ car horn honks ]

[ children chattering ]

LOOK AT HIM!

- WHAT IS HE? - HE'S A SEA BASS.

I FISH SUCH AS THIS HAS NOT BEEN CAUGHT HERE FOR YEARS.

HE BELONGS IN A GREAT HOTEL.

QUICK, WE MUST PUT HIM ON ICE.

Catherine: YOU ARE FULL OF SURPRISES.

- [ David laughs ] I COULD DO WITH A DRINK. - GOOD IDEA.

- WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? - KISS ME, PLEASE.

NOW FEEL THE BACK.

YOU SEE, I'M A GIRL, BUT NOW I'M LIKE A BOY TOO

AND I CAN DO ANYTHING AND ANYTHING AND ANYTHING.

HMM.

TELL ME YOU LIKE IT.

IT'S JUST A LITTLE UNEXPECTED.

YOU DO LIKE IT, DON'T YOU?

HERE, COME AND SIT BY ME, BOY.

NOW, WHAT ARE YOU DRINKING?

GIVE ME A WHISKEY AND DON'T BE STINGY.

[ moaning ]

[ grunting ]

NOW I'VE GOT YOU.

- WHERE DO YOU WANT ME, GIRL? - DON'T CALL ME GIRL.

WHERE I'M HOLDING YOU YOU'RE A GIRL.

THEY'RE JUST MY DOWRY.

THE NEW IS MY SURPRISE.

FEEL.

David: CAREFUL THERE.

CAREFUL HERE?

OH!

YOU'RE CHANGING.

YES... YOU ARE.

AND YOU'RE MY GIRL.

- GIRL? - YES.

I'M PETER NOW.

AND YOU'RE MY BEAUTIFUL LOVELY CATHERINE.

[ moaning ]

OH, YOU'RE SO GOOD TO CHANGE.

THANK YOU.

OH, THANK YOU.

I'M GOING TO MAKE LOVE TO YOU FOREVER.

YOU DON'T MIND IF WE'VE GONE TO THE DEVIL, DO YOU?

I LIKE BEING BROTHERS.

THOUGH WHEN WE'RE NAKED LIKE THIS,

I DON'T SUPPOSE WE LOOK MUCH LIKE BROTHERS, DO WE?

I'M NOT NAKED.

NO, YOU'RE NOT.

COME ON, DARLING, DON'T DWELL ON THINGS.

IT WAS FUN.

IT WAS A GAME.

AND YOU WERE WONDERFUL TO LET IT HAPPEN.

- MONSIEUR, YOUR MAIL. - AH.

IT ARRIVED FROM AMERICAN EXPRESS.

MERCI.

$1,250-- NOT BAD.

DARLING.

I HAVE YOUR MAIL.

HMM.

- WILL YOU JOIN ME? - MM-HMM.

YOU SEEM IN A BETTER MOOD.

HERE.

WILLIAM WANTS TO KNOW IF I STARTED THE NEW BOOK.

C'EST MONSIEUR?

YES, IT CERTAINLY IS.

IS IT ABOUT THE MARRIAGE?

NO, IT'S ABOUT A BOOK WRITTEN BY MONSIEUR.

DAVID, THE THINGS THEY SAY--

"WRITES LIKE A POET," INDEED.

THINGS LIKE THIS COULD HURT YOU

IF YOU THOUGHT ABOUT THEM TOO MUCH.

NO, NOT IF YOU'RE CAREFUL.

I'D LIKE TO READ THEM ONCE MORE.

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU READ THEM?

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO CARRY THEM AROUND, ARE YOU?

IT WOULD BE LIKE CARRYING AROUND SOMEONE'S ASHES IN A JAR.

SOME PEOPLE WOULD BE A LITTLE HAPPY

IF THEIR HUSBAND GOT A GOOD REVIEW.

I'M NOT SOME PEOPLE.

IT'S MAKING US SOME MONEY.

BUT IT'S AS THOUGH YOU'RE SUDDENLY EVERYBODY'S.

BESIDES, IT'S NOT AS IF WE NEED YOUR MONEY.

[ men speaking French ]

I HAVE TO START WRITING.

THEN WRITE. I'M NOT STOPPING YOU.

WHAT WILL YOU WRITE ABOUT?

AFRICA.

YOU COULD WRITE ABOUT US.

US?

WE'D MAKE A GOOD STORY, DON'T YOU THINK?

YEAH, I THINK WE'D MAKE A GREAT STORY.

MONSIEUR, MADAME.

BIENVENUE. [ exclaims in French ]

[ wind blowing ]

[ shutters creaking, banging ]

[ bangs ]

DO WE LIKE IT HERE?

IT'S NOT A GOOD DAY FOR DRIVING.

- WHAT ABOUT HERE? - [ moans ]

THAT'S ABOUT RIGHT.

[ bangs ]

- [ man speaking French ] - [ dog barking ]

[ sniffles ]

DID YOU WRITE, POET?

I SEE YOU'RE AHEAD OF ME.

- WHAT ARE YOU DRINKING? - ABSINTHE.

- GARCON. - MONSIEUR.

- DEUX, S'IL VOUS PLAIT. - OUI.

- SO HOW MANY? - TWO.

OR IT WAS SIX.

VOILA.

MERCI.

[ speaks French ]

- MERCI. - MERCI, MADAME.

COME ON, OBLIVION.

[ laughs ] SOUNDS LIKE A HORSE.

YOU KNOW, YOU WANT TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT ABSINTHE.

IT TASTES EXACTLY LIKE REMORSE,

AND YET IT TAKES IT AWAY.

IT MAKES EVERYTHING EASY.

SEEM EASY.

I'VE BEEN STUCK HERE ALL MORNING WHILE YOU WROTE.

AND NOW YOU WANT TO DENY ME MY ONE PLEASURE,

YOU CLIPPING READER?

NOW WHY DON'T YOU SHUT UP ABOUT THE CLIPPINGS?

WHY SHOULD I?

JUST BECAUSE YOU WROTE THIS MORNING?

[ huffs ]

DON'T BE STUPID, DAVID.

PLEASE SIT DOWN.

IT'S JUST THE WEATHER GETTING TO ME.

PLEASE.

I'M SORRY.

ABOUT THE CLIPPINGS, I MEAN.

I WAS JUST TRYING TO MAKE A JOKE AND IT MISFIRED.

I THOUGHT I'D DRIVE INTO BIARRITZ.

I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD DRIVE.

YOU REST.

I'M SURE YOU'RE TIRED AFTER ALL THAT WRITING.

[ kids laugh, speak French ]

[ footsteps approaching ]

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, DEVIL?

YOU DON'T LIKE IT?

MM-HMM.

I WANTED TO BE A NEW GIRL FOR YOU.

- GIRL? - YES, GIRL.

SEE?

[ laughs ]

MM.

I TOLD THE MAN THAT I WANTED IT CUT

LIKE AN ENGLISH BOY WHEN HE FIRST GOES TO SCHOOL.

ETON, I SAID.

THEN I WANTED IT SHORTER.

NO, LEAVE THEM.

SO WHERE SHOULD WE GO?

A CITY. I'M TIRED OF SMALL PLACES.

- WE COULD GO TO MADRID. - YES!

[ speaking Spanish ]

David: BUENOS DIAS.

- [ jazz music playing ] - [ chatter ]

[ muttering under breath ]

[ speaks Spanish ]

- HE'S TALKING TO HIMSELF. - SI.

COLONEL! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?

PARIS WAS TOO CROWDED, SO I CAME DOWN HERE.

ANYWAY, WHAT ARE YOU SO INDIGNANT ABOUT?

- CRITICISM. - [ laughs ]

- WHAT ARE YOU DRINKING? - IT'S AN ANGELUS '98.

BRING ME A BOTTLE OF WHAT HE'S HAVING.

- VERY GOOD, SIR. - LET'S SIT OVER THERE.

- CRITICISM YOU SAID? - YES, ABOUT MY BOOK.

ACTUALLY, IT'S DOING PRETTY WELL.

I'M PLEASED. I LIKED IT.

BY THE WAY, THAT BRITISH OFFICER

WHO CRASHES HIS PLANE--

IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE ME, WAS HE?

- NO, OF COURSE NOT. - [ laughs ]

WHAT BRINGS YOU TO LOFTY MADRID?

- HONEYMOON. - SOUNDS STICKY.

WHAT? NO ANGELUS?

WHAT KIND OF FONDA IS THIS?

MM, EXCELLENT!

SO TELL ME, WHO DID YOU MARRY?

- ANYONE I KNOW? - CATHERINE HILL.

ACTUALLY, YOU WERE THERE WHEN I MET HER, REMEMBER?

- WAS I? - YES.

I KNEW HER FATHER. ODD FELLOW.

KILLED HIMSELF IN A CAR, WIFE TOO.

SILLY WAY FOR GROWN-UP PEOPLE TO DIE.

THEY SAY SHE NEVER GOT OVER IT.

WELL, SHE NEVER REALLY TALKS ABOUT THEM.

SHE HAS AN UNCLE IN PARIS. HE'S REALLY WORTHLESS.

- DO YOU KNOW HIM? - YES, I MET HIM ONCE AT THE RACES.

AH, LONGCHAMPS AND AUTEUIL-- HOW COULD YOU MISS HIM?

WELL, I-- I DIDN'T MARRY HER FAMILY.

NO, BUT YOU ALWAYS DO, YOU KNOW? DEAD OR ALIVE.

- NOT THE AUNTS AND UNCLES. - AH, THAT'S WHERE YOU FIND

THE SKELETONS IN THE CUPBOARD.

HI.

CATHERINE, YOU REMEMBER MY OLD FRIEND COLONEL BOYLE?

- YES. GOOD TO SEE YOU. - YOU TOO.

I MISSED YOU TODAY.

I LEFT YOU SO YOU COULD WRITE.

CLIPPINGS?

I BELIEVE I SAW YOU THIS MORNING

AT THE PRADO LOOKING AT THE EL GRECOS.

THAT'S RIGHT. I SAW YOU TOO.

DO YOU ALWAYS LOOK AT PICTURES AS IF YOU OWN THEM?

SOMETIMES.

YOU WERE DEVOURING EL GRECO'S PORTRAIT OF HIS WIFE.

DEVOURING?

I LIKE YOU.

I ENVY YOU, DAVID.

YOU'LL HAVE TO LIVE WITH THAT, COLONEL.

ARE YOU ENTIRELY SURE HE'S EVERYTHING YOU'D HOPED FOR?

- [ all laugh ] - Boyle: WHAT?

WOULD IT BE ALL RIGHT IF I HAD AN ABSINTHE?

SURE. I'LL JOIN YOU.

AN EXCELLENT DRINK, BUT I'LL STICK WITH WINE.

SO, UH...

YOU LIKE THE REAL PERNOD?

I'M SHY WITH PEOPLE AND IT HELPS.

- Boyle: ARE YOU REALLY SHY? - TRULY.

- ASK DAVID. - [ whispers ]

YOUR FATHER WAS VERY SHY.

- YOU KNEW MY FATHER? - OH, QUITE WELL.

AND HOW WAS HE?

HE WAS THE SHYEST MAN I EVER KNEW.

[ both laugh ]

AND DID HE DRINK THE REAL PERNOD?

HE DRANK EVERYTHING.

GO ON.

TRY A SIP OF THAT WORMWOOD-TASTING SERUM.

I DON'T NEED IT NOW.

WHAT, YOU'RE NOT SHY ANYMORE?

- YOU RODE OVER IT. - DID I?

HMM.

WHAT SAY YOU WE THREE HAVE DINNER TOGETHER?

ALL RIGHT. DAVID?

OKAY.

I'LL GO UP AND GET MY COAT.

AND DON'T WORRY-- I WON'T BE SHY.

WAS I TOO ROUGH? I HOPE NOT.

- SHE'S A VERY LOVELY GIRL. - YOU WERE FINE.

YOU'LL HAVE TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER.

I AM.

OH NO, MY FRIEND. UNDERSTAND ME.

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF HER.

REMEMBER, EVERYTHING'S RIGHT TILL IT'S WRONG.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING, DEVIL?

DEVILISH.

IT WAS YOU WHO WANTED TO GO TO MADRID.

I KNOW, BUT IT WAS TOO CROWDED

AND I WANT YOU TO MYSELF.

SO WHERE SHOULD WE GO?

WHAT ABOUT CANNES? IT'LL BE SCORCHING NOW.

David: LOOK AT THAT-- PARADISE.

David: I THINK IT'S CLOSED.

BONJOUR, MONSIEUR, MADAME.

[ speaks French ] CAN I HELP YOU?

BONJOUR, MADAME.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE YOU HAVE.

MERCI. YOU ARE MOST KIND.

- MAYBE YOU COULD HELP US. - MONSIEUR?

IT'S PERFECT. IT'S JUST PERFECT.

YOU SEE, MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING

FOR SOMEWHERE IDEAL TO SPEND OUR HONEYMOON.

NEWLYWEDS-- HOW WONDERFUL.

THANK YOU.

NOW IS THERE ANY WAY WE COULD PERSUADE YOU TO OPEN UP?

NO, I'M SORRY.

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN FOR JUST A FEW DAYS.

THERE IS TOO MUCH WORK TO BE DONE.

NO, MADAME, NOT FOR A FEW DAYS.

FOR THE WHOLE SUMMER.

WE WILL PAY YOU HANDSOMELY.

WE'LL BE NO TROUBLE.

WE'LL NEED ONLY THE SIMPLEST THINGS.

IT WOULD MAKE US SO HAPPY.

BON. D'ACCORD, OUI.

YOU CAN STAY.

- MERCI BEAUCOUP. - MERCI.

BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO GIVE ME SOME TIME.

LOOK, I CAN WORK UP THERE.

IT'S WONDERFUL AND SO CLOSE TO CANNES.

PATRICE.

OH, DAVID, WE'RE GOING TO BE SO HAPPY HERE.

ICI.

MERCI.

- MADEMOISELLE. - MERCI, PATRICE.

THIS IS NICE.

I'VE BOUGHT ALL THE LATEST TUNES.

AND I'VE BROUGHT SOMETHING FOR YOU TOO.

- DO YOU WANT A TOM COLLINS? - YES.

[ jazz music playing ]

MERCI.

OH MY.

NOW YOU CAN WRITE OUR STORIES SO MUCH FASTER.

[ jazz music continues ]

[ typewriter clicking ]

[ seagulls screeching ]

I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER. COME AND HAVE BREAKFAST.

WE'RE GOING TO CANNES. YOU'VE WORKED LONG ENOUGH.

[ bell tolling ]

Jean: BON, D'ACCORD.

I WILL CUT IT AS YOU ASK.

WE COULD OF COURSE EXPERIMENT ON YOU, MONSIEUR,

IN CASE ANYTHING GOES WRONG.

YOU SEE, MONSIEUR, THIS IS AS IMPORTANT TO ME

AS YOUR METIERIS TO YOU.

VOILA. TRES BIEN.

[ jazz music playing ]

I HAVE IT MADE WITH CASTILE SOAP.

IT'S ALL GONE WRONG.

MADAME, WHY WOULD I WISH TO IMPAIR YOUR BEAUTY?

MAINTENANT, ATTENTION, S'IL VOUS PLAIT.

SHH.

[ Catherine sighs ]

[ speaking French ]

IT'S...

CHANGING.

ET VOILA!

YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE DESPAIRED, MADAME.

Catherine: IT'S LIKE MY PEARLS.

I LOVE IT... SO MUCH.

DOES MONSIEUR WISH THE CUT?

IT IS TRES SPORTIF.

- WELL, I HAVEN'T HAD A HAIRCUT-- - OH, YES, DAVID.

YOU MUST HAVE IT TOO.

HOW'S OUR STORY COMING?

IT'S HARD WRITING SO CLOSE TO LIFE.

CAN WE PUBLISH IT SOON?

IT HASN'T GOT AN END YET.

I'M SO PROUD OF IT ALREADY.

YOU HAVE PUT IN THE DEVIL THINGS

AND HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU?

[ laughs ]

[ speaking Italian ]

WELL, THERE'S A SPECTACLE.

[ both speaking Italian ]

- SISTERS? - I DON'T THINK SO.

LET'S STICK AROUND, SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

WATCH OUT, HERE COMES THE PRETTY ONE.

I'M SORRY TO TROUBLE YOU. PLEASE SIT.

I SHOULDN'T, I KNOW, BUT I TOLD MY FRIEND YOU WOULD FORGIVE ME.

- SHOULD WE FORGIVE YOU? - I'M SORRY.

I'M NOT MAKING MYSELF UNDERSTOOD.

YOUR HAIR, IT'S WONDERFUL.

MONSIEUR JEAN IS HIS NAME.

HE'S VERY GOOD.

SEND HIM OUR BEST.

YOU ARE SO VERY KIND.

GARCON!

I HOPE I'LL SEE YOU SOMETIME. GRAZIE.

[ chuckles ]

SHE'S NICE.

SHE'LL MAKE YOU NERVOUS WITH ALL THAT BLUSHING THOUGH.

I THINK SHE'S IN LOVE WITH YOU.

WILL MADAME BE BACK FOR LUNCH?

NO, I DON'T THINK SO. SHE WENT INTO CANNES.

SOMETIMES THE WIND DOES THIS.

NOT THE TRUE MISTRAL,

BUT IT WILL BLOW FOR A WHILE.

- [ metal clinks ] - [ Catherine laughs ]

MADAME EST ARRIVEE.

LOOK WHO I BROUGHT FOR YOU.

PLEASE, I SHOULD NOT HAVE COME.

- I SEE YOU'VE BEEN TO MONSIEUR JEAN. - [ giggles ]

AREN'T YOU HAPPY TO SEE HER?

COME ON, WON'T YOU MAKE US A MARTINI?

WE CAN EAT LATER. RIGHT NOW I WANT A MARTINI.

[ jazz music playing ]

[ coughs ]

IT TASTES SO STRONG.

WELL, THERE'S A STRONG WIND TODAY

AND WE DRINK ACCORDING TO THE WIND.

OH. DO ALL AMERICANS DO THAT?

LOOK AT HER, DAVID. AREN'T YOU GLAD I BROUGHT HER?

SHE WAS IMPOSSIBLE.

WE WERE HAVING ANOTHER FIGHT IN PUBLIC AGAIN.

- AND IT WAS LUCKY CATHERINE WAS THERE. - YES.

NINA WASN'T HAPPY AND SHE WENT AWAY.

WHAT, SHE JUST LEFT?

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

WE DID HAVE A JOLLY TIME THIS MORNING, DIDN'T WE?

SI, MOLTO.

- ARE YOU STAYING FAR FROM HERE? - I WAS STAYING IN CANNES.

SHE WAS GOING BACK TO TURIN.

OH, TORINO. IS THAT WHERE YOU'RE FROM?

MY FAMILY HAS A HOUSE THERE.

TELL HIM THE TRUTH, MARITA.

YOU ARE FUNNY.

IT'S A PALACE, DAVID.

OH, AN HEIRESS.

HER FAMILY GOES BACK TO GOD KNOWS WHEN.

ANYWAY, I THOUGHT IF YOU LIKED HER

WE COULD SEE IF MADAME HAS A ROOM.

- DO YOU LIKE HER, DAVID? - YES, BUT--

WELL THEN, THAT'S SETTLED.

- MY THINGS ARE IN CANNES. - NO NO NO.

COME, STAY FOR A FEW DAYS.

DAVID WILL GO WITH YOU TO GET YOUR THINGS.

WON'T YOU, DAVID?

Marita: CATHERINE IS SO WONDERFUL!

- YOU MUST LOVE HER VERY MUCH. - YES, I DO.

I'M IN LOVE WITH HER ALSO. AND WITH YOU TOO.

IS THAT ALL RIGHT?

[ both laugh ]

[ waves crashing ]

I CAN'T BEAR IT. I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS OFF.

I WANT TO GET BROWN ALL OVER.

WHO'S COMING FOR A SWIM?

WOULDN'T YOU LIKE ONE OF YOUR GIRLS LIGHTER?

YOU'RE NOT MY GIRL.

DO YOU DISLIKE ME FOR WHAT I SAID LAST NIGHT?

NO.

I JUST DON'T THINK YOU CAN BE IN LOVE

WITH TWO PEOPLE AT THE SAME TIME.

COME, LET'S SWIM.

[ women screaming, laughing ]

Catherine: I'M IN HEAVEN!

Madame Aurol: PATRICE, PATRICE!

COME ON, SWIMMERS, WE DESERVE A DRINK.

WE'RE GOING TO TRANSFORM THIS BAR.

WE SHOULD BUY A MIRROR FOR IT.

A BAR IS NO GOOD WITHOUT A MIRROR.

- LET'S GET ONE TOMORROW. - YES, LET'S.

THERE'S SURE TO BE ONE IN CANNES.

THEN WE CAN ALL SEE EACH OTHER.

WHEN I LOOK TOO DEEPLY INTO A BAR MIRROR,

THAT'S WHEN I KNOW I'M LOST.

HOW CAN YOU LOSE WITH TWO GIRLS?

DON'T YOU LIKE THE WAY YOUR GIRLS LOOK?

I'M THE FAIR ONE.

YOU'RE DARKER THAN THE ONE I MARRIED.

SO ARE YOU.

AND I BROUGHT YOU A DARK GIRL FOR A PRESENT.

AND I LIKE MY PRESENT VERY MUCH.

DO YOU REALLY?

HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR FUTURE, DARK ONE?

IT ISN'T A DARK FUTURE, IS IT?

SHE'S NOT ONLY BEAUTIFUL; SHE MAKES JOKES.

I'D RATHER BE A DARK PRESENT THAN A DARK FUTURE.

SHE DID IT AGAIN.

GIVE HER A KISS, DAVID, AND MAKE HER A FAIR PRESENT.

[ David sighs ]

THAT'S A BIT MEAN.

YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT, SURELY.

[ chuckles ]

MAYBE WE MADE TOO MANY JOKES.

[ car engine sputtering ]

[ Madame Aurol speaking French ]

BONJOUR, MADAME.

BONJOUR, MONSIEUR DAVID.

- CA VA? - OUI, CA VA BIEN, MERCI.

MADAME GAVE ME THIS.

THEY HAVE LEFT YOU ALONE.

NO, NOT FOR LONG. I'M MEETING THEM IN NICE.

ALAS, I WON'T BE NEEDING ONE OF YOUR WONDERFUL LUNCHES TODAY.

DOMMAGE.

[ chattering ]

HOW ARE YOU, DEVIL?

DEVIL? [ laughs ]

DOES HE MEAN ME?

DID YOU WORK WELL, DAVID?

OF COURSE HE DID.

IT'S THE ONLY WAY HE EVER WORKS.

NOW CAN WE HAVE SOME DRINKS? IT'S SO HOT.

SO WHAT HAVE YOU TWO BEEN UP TO?

WE BOUGHT THINGS AND ORDERED THINGS

AND GENERALLY MADE A SCANDAL.

AND MARITA BOUGHT BOTH OF YOUR BOOKS.

OH, WELL, I HOPE YOU LIKE THEM.

- WHAT WAS THE SCANDAL? - THERE IS NO SCANDAL.

NOT TRUE.

I DID IT AND I LIKED IT AND...

WHEN DID THEY SAY THE MIRROR WAS GOING TO ARRIVE?

DID WHAT?

- WHAT DID YOU DO? - [ Marita laughs ]

SHE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.

THIS MORNING I STOPPED THE CAR ON THE WAY TO NICE

AND KISSED HER AND SHE KISSED ME AND I LIKED IT.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY, DAVID.

[ jazz music playing ]

YOU FINISHED IT.

IT IS VERY GOOD.

THE ENDING MADE ME SO SAD.

DON'T OVERREACH.

- THE MAN IN THE BOOK IS--? - MY FRIEND.

MARITA, WHEN YOU KISSED DAVID YESTERDAY

AND LIKED IT SO MUCH,

WERE YOU THINKING OF HIM AS A WRITER?

I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING.

HMM, I'M GLAD.

I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE LIKE THE CLIPPINGS

ALL OVER AGAIN.

HIS PRESS CUTTINGS-- RAVE REVIEWS

WITH PICTURES OF HIM GALORE.

YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S TIME FOR BED.

WE'RE ALL GETTING A LITTLE TIRED.

- YOU'RE RIGHT. - [ record stops ]

I'M DESPERATE TO GET OUT OF THESE CLOTHES.

I THINK I'LL HAVE A COOL SHOWER.

MAY I COME AND SEE YOU LATER?

CAN I TELL YOU NOW?

- CAN WE SKIP IT? - NO.

LET ME TELL YOU.

WHEN WE STOPPED THE CAR, SHE SAID IT WAS BETTER

IF I WAS THE GIRL AND-- AND REALLY I WAS GLAD

BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

I THINK SHE WANTED TO SHOW ME.

- AND? - AND I LIKED IT.

- AND I'M REALLY GOING TO DO IT. - NO, YOU'RE NOT.

I HAVE TO TO REALLY SEE.

IF I DON'T, IT WOULD BE LIKE

STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING.

I'LL COME BACK TO YOU.

WHEN IT'S OVER THERE WILL ONLY BE THE TWO OF US.

DON'T DO IT.

IF YOU HAVE HER AFTER, THAT WILL WASH EVERYTHING AWAY.

THAT'S CRAZY.

LOOK, JUST STAY HERE AND BE QUIET.

[ whispers ] I AM QUIET.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

I'M GOING TO GO NOW.

[ door opens, closes ]

[ laughs ]

[ speaking Spanish ]

YES!

- [ dog barking ] - [ elephant trumpeting ]

[ trumpeting ]

COME ON, KIBO. COME ON, COME ON.

David's voice: THE STORY STARTED WITH NO DIFFICULTY,

AS A STORY DOES WHEN IT'S READY TO BE WRITTEN.

AN ELEPHANT!

[ man speaking Swahili ]

I SEEN A HUGE ELEPHANT WITH TUSKS-- HUGE TUSKS.

Man: WHAT'S THAT, DAVEY? WHAT DID YOU SAY?

AN ELEPHANT, FATHER. A HUGE ELEPHANT.

WE TRACKED IT.

WHO TRACKED IT?

WE DID-- KIBO AND ME.

YOU'RE SURE IT WAS AN ELEPHANT?

YES, FATHER. I CAN SHOW YOU.

YOU REMEMBER WHERE YOU SAW IT?

IT WAS JUST OVER THERE.

David's voice: IT WAS A GOOD STORY AND I REMEMBERED

HOW LONG I HAD INTENDED TO WRITE IT.

[ flies buzzing ]

[ flies buzzing ]

[ speaks Swahili ]

[ speaks Swahili ]

- ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, DAVEY? - YES, SIR.

I CAN CARRY MORE, FATHER.

[ speaking Swahili ]

- HOW DOES IT FEEL? - IT DOESN'T HURT.

[ men speak Swahili ]

[ shouts in Swahili ]

- WHERE'S HE GOING? - WHO?

- THE ELEPHANT. - OH.

JUMA SAYS HE'S GOING TO VISIT HIS ASKARI.

- ASKARI? - MM. HIS FRIEND.

JUMA KILLED HIM.

HERE.

JUMA KILLED THE ELEPHANT'S FRIEND?

EAT THE BISCUIT SLOWLY

AND DRINK PLENTY OF WATER.

[ David coughing ]

I THOUGHT YOU HAD GONE AWAY.

I DIDN'T TAKE ANYTHING.

YES, YOU'RE RIGHT.

[ sighs ] THE WIND'S DROPPING. IT SHOULD BE A GOOD DAY.

- I DON'T CARE ABOUT TODAY. - YOU WANT A DRINK?

WHY NOT? I'LL HAVE WHAT YOU'RE HAVING.

HERE'S TO US.

- ARE WE US AGAIN? - WHY NOT?

I'M SO GLAD.

HERE'S TO US, THE BOURNES.

I WASN'T UNFAITHFUL, DAVID.

I COULDN'T BE. YOU KNOW THAT.

HALF THE TIME SHE ONLY WANTED TO TALK ABOUT YOU ANYWAY.

[ door opens ]

I'VE TOLD HIM ALL ABOUT EVERYTHING AND HE'S FINE WITH IT.

HE APPROVES.

David: DRINK?

IT'S VERY EARLY. NO, THANKS.

OF COURSE I'M JUST AN APPRENTICE,

BUT I WON'T ALWAYS BE.

OH, CATHERINE, PLEASE. DO YOU HAVE TO?

PERVERSION IS SO DULL.

I SUPPOSE IT'S ONLY INTERESTING THE FIRST TIME ONE DOES IT.

AND ONLY TO THE ONE WHO DOES IT.

DO YOU AGREE, HEIRESS?

HEIRESS? THAT'S A NICE FUNNY NAME.

DO YOU AGREE, HEIRESS, ABOUT PERVERSION?

I THINK I WILL HAVE THE DRINK.

MAYBE YOU NEED TO KISS HER AGAIN, DAVID.

I'M MAKING A DRINK.

I FORGOT ABOUT THE SURPRISE HEIRESS BOUGHT.

I'LL GO GET IT.

PATRICE.

DO YOU WANT ME TO GO AWAY?

YOU'D BE SMARTER TO.

I DO NOT THINK SO.

WOULD YOU KISS ME SO WE KNOW IT IS ALL RIGHT?

THAT'S A WONDERFUL KISS.

WE ALL SAW IT.

HEIRESS HAS BOUGHT SOME BOLLINGER AND CAVIAR.

ISN'T IT LUCKY HEIRESS AND I ARE SO RICH

YOU'LL NEVER HAVE ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT?

WE'LL TAKE GOOD CARE OF HIM, WON'T WE, HEIRESS?

SHE'S VERY BEAUTIFUL.

DID YOU WRITE THIS MORNING?

YES, I DID.

[ Juma speaking Swahili ]

WHAT'S GOING ON?

WE'VE LOST HIS TRAIL.

LOOK.

LOOK WHAT I GOT.

- YOU DID GOOD TODAY, DAVEY. - THANK YOU.

WE'RE SET FOR RATIONS NOW.

- JUMA. - [ speaking Swahili ]

HOW BIG DO YOU THINK HE IS-- THE ELEPHANT?

BIGGER THAN ANYTHING I'VE EVER SEEN.

HOW DOES JUMA KNOW WHERE HE'S GOING?

JUMA KILLED HIS FRIEND NOT FAR FROM HERE.

- WHEN? - I DON'T KNOW.

FIVE, EIGHT YEARS AGO.

YOU MEAN THE ELEPHANT'S BEEN ALONE SINCE THEN?

ALL ALONE?

[ jazz music playing ]

Catherine: I'M SO TIRED.

DO YOU WANT AN EARLY NIGHT?

I WANT TO SLEEP FOREVER.

YOU DON'T LOOK WELL, CATHERINE.

I'M FINE, JUST DEADLY SLEEPY.

[ song ends ]

IT'S A LITTLE HIGH.

Catherine: CAN I SLEEP NOW?

OF COURSE, DEVIL. GO TO SLEEP.

[ sighs ]

David: YOU GOING TO BED?

Marita: ARE YOU?

NO, I'M GOING UP TO DO MY WORK.

KISS ME GOOD NIGHT?

GO TO BED, DARK ONE.

DON'T MAKE TOO MUCH NOISE.

REMEMBER, I'M ONLY NEXT DOOR.

[ door opens ]

I CAN'T.

I'M SORRY.

IT'S CATHERINE.

[ sobbing ]

YOU ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL.

[ seagulls screeching ]

[ speaking Swahili ]

BOOM!

[ speaking Swahili ]

[ imitates gunfire ]

[ both laughing ]

THIS IS WHERE JUMA KNOCKED HIM DOWN.

AND THEN HE SHOT HIM IN THE EAR.

HOW LONG WERE THEY FRIENDS?

I HAVEN'T THE FAINTEST.

HELLO.

WHERE'S CATHERINE?

SHE WENT INTO CANNES.

SHE WON'T BE BACK UNTIL DINNER.

- ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? - YEAH, SORRY.

I JUST WANTED TO TALK TO HER ABOUT SOMETHING.

- IS IT IMPORTANT? - IT IS TO ME.

- I THINK THAT I'M ON TO SOMETHING. - YOUR BOOK?

IT'S STILL FLYING AROUND IN MY HEAD.

WELL, IT'S OVER FOR TODAY.

LEAVE IT BEHIND.

I'M GOING TO TAKE YOU SWIMMING. COME ON.

YOU SAID THAT YOU WERE ON TO SOMETHING.

YEAH, I THINK SO.

CAN YOU TELL ME?

IT'S NOT FULLY FORMED YET.

I WISH I COULD HELP.

I WISH YOU COULD TOO.

- DO YOU WANT ME TO STOP? - NO.

[ Marita moaning ]

WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING YOU, DAVID,

STUDYING YOUR NEEDS.

AND WE'VE DECIDED THAT YOU MUST SHARE US BOTH.

AND HOW'S THAT GOING TO WORK?

I GET YOU FOR TWO DAYS

AND HEIRESS HERE GETS YOU FOR TWO DAYS.

I WANT TO TALK TO YOU.

GOD, DAVID, WHAT'S THERE TO TALK ABOUT?

WELL?

WHY DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS?

I DIDN'T BRING HER HERE JUST FOR ME, YOU KNOW?

YOU DO LIKE HER, DON'T YOU?

WHY, DO YOU WANT ME TO FUCK HER? IS THAT IT?

YOU HAVE. THAT'S NOT THE POINT.

DAVID, WE DON'T HAVE TO LIVE LIFE LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE.

WE CAN DO WHAT WE WANT, LIVE LIFE THE WAY WE WANT.

AND WHAT KIND OF LIFE IS THAT?

ALL RIGHT, LET'S JUST SAY I AGREE TO THIS NEW CRAZINESS.

WHERE DOES THIS LEAVE US?

IT DOESN'T LEAVE US ANYWHERE.

WE JUST CARRY ON.

CAN I TELL YOU A SECRET?

YOU'RE NOT VERY HARD TO CORRUPT.

THIS ISN'T FUNNY.

COME ON, IT WAS JUST A JOKE SECRET.

WE JUST HAVE FUN.

COME ON, DO IT FOR ME.

MM.

- JUMA. - [ speaking Swahili ]

- [ coughing ] - IT RESTED HERE.

HE'S SLOWING DOWN.

IT WON'T BE MUCH LONGER.

FUCK ELEPHANT HUNTING.

WHAT'S THAT?

FUCK ELEPHANT HUNTING.

BOY, YOU'D BETTER NOT FUCK THIS UP.

- JUMA. - [ speaking Swahili ]

[ elephant trumpeting ]

[ trumpeting continues ]

- [ roars ] - [ birds screeching ]

[ growling ]

GOD--

[ trumpeting ]

GO!

NO!

NO! GO!

GO! JUST GO!

GO GO!

[ gunshot ]

[ elephant trumpeting ]

[ gunshot ]

AN ELEPHANT HUNT?

WAS THAT REALLY YOU?

ME AND MY FATHER.

DID YOU STOP LOVING HIM WHEN HE SHOT THE ELEPHANT?

THAT WAS WHEN I GOT TO KNOW HIM.

HELLO, YOU TWO.

HAD A NICE DAY TOGETHER?

BE A DARLING, DAVID, MAKE ME A DRINK--

MARTINI, STRONG.

IT'S JUST LIKE MEETING AN EX-HUSBAND.

IT MAKES ME FEEL VERY SOPHISTICATED.

I THINK IT AGREES WITH YOU TOO.

DO YOU THINK HE'S ALL RIGHT?

AND WELL YOU MIGHT BLUSH.

LOOK AT HER, DAVID.

SHE LOOKS VERY WELL TO ME.

- HMM. - AS DO YOU.

- CAN WE TRY AND BE CIVIL TODAY? - WHAT?

LIKE MISS SWEET-AND-INNOCENT HERE?

I MUST SAY I'M GLAD I HAD HER BEFORE YOU.

- CATHERINE! - OH, ALL RIGHT, GIVE ME MY DRINK.

THAT MIRROR'S AWFULLY CRITICAL.

DID THE DARK GIRL TELL YOU SHE'S READ OUR STORY?

- SHE AGREES IT'S WONDERFUL. - OH, YOU'VE READ IT?

Catherine: WE BOTH HAVE.

I THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE ASKED ME.

I KNOW I SHOULD HAVE.

BUT I STARTED TO READ IT FOR MYSELF AND THOUGHT IT SO INTERESTING

HEIRESS OUGHT TO READ IT TOO.

- David: I'D HAVE SAID NO. - [ Catherine laughs ]

THE POINT IS, MARITA DEAR,

IF HE EVER SAYS NO ABOUT ANYTHING, JUST KEEP RIGHT ON.

IT DOESN'T MEAN A THING.

IT'S VERY GOOD, DAVID.

JUST WAIT TILL HE TAKES OUR STORY UP TILL NOW.

- YOU'LL FIND OUT. - I'M THROUGH WITH THAT STORY.

THAT'S DIRTY.

THAT WAS MY PRESENT AND OUR PROJECT.

I'M WORKING ON SOMETHING NEW.

NEW?

OH, I SEE.

IS THAT WHAT SHE'S READING?

IT'S WONDERFUL.

YOU KNOW, I'VE NEVER READ A STORY OF DAVID'S UNTIL NOW.

I WOULDN'T INTERFERE.

I'VE ONLY MADE IT ECONOMICALLY POSSIBLE FOR HIM.

IS THERE ANY REASON WHY I CAN'T READ THIS MASTERPIECE?

- CAN I READ THIS? - YES, READ IT.

IT STARTS WELL,

ALTHOUGH YOUR GRAMMAR'S ATROCIOUS.

YOUR DESCRIPTION OF THE COUNTRY IS PRETTY.

[ chatter, laughter ]

HOW COULD YOU WRITE ABOUT YOUR FATHER AND HIS WHORES?

- IT'S REVOLTING! - IT'S NOT ABOUT THAT.

AND WHO CARES ABOUT NATIVES AND FLIES AND FILTH?

HOW COULD YOUR FATHER INVOLVE YOU IN SUCH A THING?

NOTHING CAN MAKE ME FINISH IT.

I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO READ IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

YOU TWO CONSPIRED TO MAKE ME READ IT.

I ASKED YOU NOT TO READ IT.

I HATE YOU.

I HATE YOU BOTH!

CATHERINE.

DAVID.

CATHERINE!

David's voice: BUT I WAS WORRIED NOW

AND THOUGHT WHAT WILL BECOME OF US

IF THINGS HAVE GONE THIS WILDLY

AND THIS DANGEROUSLY AND THIS FAST?

Catherine: WHY HAVE YOU STOPPED WRITING OUR STORY?

YOU NEVER CARED WHAT I WROTE BEFORE.

I'VE LET YOU ALONE AND NOW SHE'S MADE YOU--

NO NO. LISTEN TO ME.

THIS IS SOMETHING I HAD TO DO.

IT'S HORRIBLE! IT'S HORRIBLE!

STOP IT, STOP IT.

- SHH. - [ crying ]

STOP IT.

YOU FINISHED IT.

WELL, THE FIRST STORY ANYWAY.

THEN LET'S GO TO TOWN AND CELEBRATE.

YOU TWO LOOK WONDERFUL TOGETHER.

I'M SO PROUD.

I FEEL AS THOUGH I'D INVENTED YOU.

IS IT LUNCH ALREADY? DO YOU MIND IF I JOIN YOU?

NO, OF COURSE YOU MUST JOIN US.

- DAVID? - SURE.

WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO, DEVIL?

I'VE HAD A FINE MORNING.

I MADE DECISIONS AND PLANNED THINGS.

- WHAT SORT OF PLANS? - THEY'RE ALL STRAIGHTFORWARD.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO GROAN ABOUT THEM.

YOU'VE BEEN DOING JUST WHATEVER YOU WANTED TO

THESE PAST FEW DAYS AND I WAS PLEASED FOR YOU.

BUT I HAVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE A FEW PLANS.

OF COURSE YOU DO.

FIRST, WE HAVE TO START SEEING ABOUT

GETTING THE BOOK PUBLISHED,

SEE ABOUT GETTING ILLUSTRATIONS, SEE ARTISTS.

MM, YOU HAVE BEEN BUSY.

WERE YOU GOING TO LET ME GO OVER THEM BEFORE?

SOMEONE HAS TO GET STARTED.

ALL RIGHT, WHO'D YOU COME UP WITH?

DIFFERENT ONES FOR DIFFERENT PARTS--

DERAIN, PICASSO.

CAN'T YOU SEE A NICE LAURENCIN FOR MARITA AND I IN THE CAR

WHERE WE STOPPED ON THE WAY TO NICE?

- I HAVEN'T WRITTEN THAT. - WELL, WRITE IT THEN.

IT'S CERTAINLY MORE INTERESTING THAN YOUR FATHER

STAGGERING AROUND, SMELLING OF SOUR BEER

- AND SHOOTING HELPLESS ELEPHANTS. - KEEP YOUR VOICE DOWN.

WELL, I KNEW I'D MADE YOU HAPPY

AND I'D ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING.

IT'S VERY GOOD OF YOU TO LET US SPEND

SOME TIME TOGETHER.

I'M SORRY I WAS RUDE ABOUT YOU, MARITA.

I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER ABOUT YOU, REALLY.

BUT CAN'T YOU SEE DAVID'S MIXED UP?

JUMPING BACK AND FORTH,

TRYING TO WRITE THIS AFRICAN THING

WHEN ALL HE HAD TO DO WAS KEEP ON WITH THE NARRATIVE

THAT MEANT SO MUCH TO ALL OF US.

IT WAS GOING SO WELL TOO.

WE WERE JUST COMING TO THE MOST EXCITING PARTS.

WELL, YOU MUST FEEL BETTER

NOW THAT YOU'RE PLANNING THINGS.

I DO.

BUT I CAN'T HELP IT IF I'M PRACTICAL AND SENSIBLE.

I DON'T KNOW WHY DAVID'S BEING SO DIFFICULT

THE MOMENT I PUT A LITTLE ORDER INTO THINGS.

THE WHOLE THING HAS DRAGGED ALONG IN SUCH A HAPHAZARD WAY,

I SUDDENLY FEEL ASHAMED OF US ALL.

CHRIST!

CAN'T WE TALK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE?

YOU KNOW, DAVID, MARITA WAS NEVER MY TYPE.

I'M NOT ATTRACTED TO THE GAMIN TYPE.

I'LL HAVE TO TRY ANOTHER TO FIND OUT WHAT I'M MISSING.

[ Marita moans ]

[ sighs ]

I FELT BAD ABOUT LEAVING HER THERE.

I THINK SHE WAS HAPPY BEING THE GREAT PUBLISHER.

AND DON'T THINK ABOUT HER WHEN YOU MAKE LOVE TO ME.

NO, OF COURSE NOT.

YOU DON'T WANT ME TO DO HER THINGS?

- BECAUSE I CAN DO THEM BETTER THAN SHE CAN. - MARITA.

I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT'S HAPPENING.

NO MATTER HOW IT IS, I LOVE YOU.

AND TOMORROW YOU'RE GOING TO CONTINUE YOUR WRITING.

[ car engine sputtering ]

[ crickets chirping ]

[ Marita speaking Italian ]

HELLO, HUSBAND.

I'M MAKING A DRINK. DO YOU WANT ONE?

THAT WOULD BE NICE. A MARTINI.

AND PUT IN ONE OF THOSE OLIVES,

ALTHOUGH I DON'T THINK IT WILL HELP.

- HELP WHAT? - [ door opens ]

I DROVE ALONG THE LITTLE CORNICHE

AND STOPPED ABOVE VILLEFRANCHE

AND WATCHED A BATTLE CRUISER COME IN.

AND THEN IT WAS LATE.

Catherine: IT WAS VERY STRANGE--

ALL THE COLORS WERE TOO BRIGHT.

EVEN THE GRAYS IN THE OLIVE TREES WERE GLITTERY.

- THAT'S THE TWILIGHT. - NO, I DON'T THINK SO.

IT WASN'T VERY NICE AND IT WAS LOVELY.

THE SHIP DIDN'T LOOK BIG ENOUGH FOR SUCH A BIG NAME.

TOO MUCH SUN.

HERE, DRINK YOUR DRINK.

CAN WE HAVE A BOTTLE OF BOLLINGER?

IT WAS ALWAYS SUCH A NICE WINE

AND WE WERE ALWAYS HAPPY WITH IT.

IF YOU WANT.

I'LL GET A BOTTLE.

IT WAS FUN WHEN DAVID REALLY DID LIVE WITH ME,

BEFORE HE WAS WRITING THOSE DREADFUL STORIES.

I CERTAINLY HOPE YOU LIKE STORIES, HEIRESS.

- I LIKE THEM. - THAT'S GOOD.

DAVID USED TO HAVE SO MANY OTHER INTERESTS.

NOW ALL HE THINKS ABOUT IS HIS DRUNKEN FATHER

AND HIS PRESS CLIPPINGS.

HAS HE EVER SHOWN YOU HIS CLIPPINGS?

- NO. - WELL, HE WILL.

HE WAS PUSHING THEM ON ME BEFORE,

BUT I PUT A STOP TO THAT.

THERE WERE DOZENS OF THEM

AND ALMOST ALL HAD HIS PICTURE.

ALWAYS THE SAME PICTURE. HE CARRIES THEM AROUND LIKE OBSCENE POSTCARDS.

FINE, TAKE THE CLIPPINGS AND BURN THEM.

THAT WOULD BE THE SOUNDEST THING.

HOW DID YOU KNOW I DID IT?

- DID WHAT? - BURNED THE CLIPPINGS.

- DID YOU, CATHERINE? - OF COURSE I DID.

ONLY THE CLIPPINGS?

OH, DAVID, POUR THE CHAMPAGNE.

[ panting ]

PLEASE TELL ME YOU DIDN'T BURN IT.

I HAD TO, DAVID.

IT WAS WORTHLESS AND I HATED IT.

BUT WHY? FOR GOD'S SAKE, WHY?

- I PAID FOR THEM. - I KNOW YOU DID.

I KNOW. IT WAS VERY GENEROUS OF YOU.

NOW WHERE IS IT?

ASK HER TO LEAVE.

NO, STAY WHERE YOU ARE.

CATHERINE, CATHERINE, PLEASE. WHERE IS IT?

[ panting ]

- WHERE IS SHE? - IN BED.

- I'M GONNA KILL HER! - DON'T TALK LIKE THAT.

YOU CAN'T BE ANGRY WITH SOMEONE WHO'S ILL.

I DON'T CARE. I WANNA KILL HER.

I WANNA STRANGLE THE VERY LIFE OUT OF HER.

- YOU CAN WRITE IT AGAIN. - NO!

[ sighs ]

YOU ONLY GET SO MANY GOOD ONES

AND THAT WAS A GOOD ONE.

THANK YOU FOR SLEEPING HERE.

WOULD YOU KISS ME GOOD NIGHT?

I'M GOING AWAY IN THE MORNING.

AWAY WHERE?

PARIS...

TO SEE ABOUT ARTISTS FOR THE BOOK.

WE'VE WASTED SO MUCH TIME AS IT IS.

I JUST NEED TO KEEP ON WITH IT.

HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GET THERE?

WITH THE BUG.

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?

YES.

I'LL LOOK AT THE CAR FOR YOU IN THE MORNING.

THANK YOU. IT'S GOOD OF YOU.

I'LL SPEAK WITH MY LAWYERS ALSO.

YOUR LAWYERS?

THE AFRICAN STORY IS OBVIOUSLY WORTH A LOT TO YOU.

IT'S BOTHERING ME TERRIBLY NOW.

I KNOW MY RESPONSIBILITY.

I'LL DO EXACTLY WHAT I SHOULD.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I'LL HAVE THEM VALUED

AND I'LL REIMBURSE YOU.

IT'S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY. CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?

I UNDERSTAND I'VE DONE SOMETHING BAD TO YOU.

GOD, CATHERINE.

[ seagulls screeching ]

[ car engine roaring ]

[ tires screeching ]

DO YOU HAVE TO DRIVE SO FAST?

I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S SAFE.

DAVID, SHE HAS GONE TO THE STATION.

SHE TOOK MARITA'S CAR. SHE LEFT THIS.

WHAT TIME DOES THE TRAIN LEAVE?

NO, IT'S GONE BY NOW.

SHE WAS VERY SWEET, THANKED ME.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

THERE'S NOTHING YOU COULD HAVE DONE.

[ both speaking French ]

Catherine's voice: "MY DEAREST DAVID, I'LL CUT THIS SHORT.

DO NOT WORRY AT ALL.

I'LL WRITE AND DO ALL THE THINGS FOR MY BOOK.

SO IF YOU EVER FINISH IT ONLY I WILL TRY TO DO THIS ONE THING.

I HAD TO BURN THE OTHER THINGS.

THE WORST WAS BEING RIGHTEOUS ABOUT IT,

- BUT I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT." - I'M PUBLISHING A BOOK.

"I DO NOT ASK FOR FORGIVENESS, BUT PLEASE HAVE GOOD LUCK."

YOU MUST MEET A YOUNG FRIEND OF MINE.

- AN ILLUSTRATOR? - NO, BUT SHE KNOWS A LOT OF PEOPLE.

AND SHE'S GREAT FUN.

WILL SHE LIKE ME?

"HEIRESS HAS BEEN GOOD TO YOU AND ME BOTH

AND I DON'T HATE HER.

I WON'T END AS I WOULD LIKE TO

BECAUSE IT WOULD SOUND TOO PREPOSTEROUS TO BELIEVE.

BUT I WILL SAY IT ANYWAY SINCE I WAS ALWAYS RUDE AND PRESUMPTUOUS

AND PREPOSTEROUS TOO LATELY, AS WE BOTH KNOW.

I LOVE YOU AND I ALWAYS WILL AND I AM SORRY.

WHAT A USELESS WORD.

CATHERINE."

[ clicking ]

[ dings ]

[ men laughing ]

[ men chanting ]

DAVEY, THE ELEPHANT--

HE WAS A MURDERER, YOU KNOW?

THERE'S NO TELLING HOW MANY PEOPLE HE KILLED.

WEREN'T THEY TRYING TO KILL HIM?

WITH A PAIR OF TUSKS LIKE THAT...

WELL, HOW WAS HE A MURDERER THEN?

HUH?

WELL, IF YOU WANNA LOOK AT IT THAT WAY.

I WISH HE'D KILLED JUMA.

JUMA'S YOUR FRIEND.

NOT ANYMORE.

JUMA KILLED HIS FRIEND.

YOU'D KILL KIBO IF HE HAD IVORY.

THIS IS WHAT I DO.

JUMA TOO, AND THE PORTERS.

I WISH I HAD NEVER SEEN THAT ELEPHANT.

BUT YOU DID. YOU DID SEE HIM.

AND YOUGAVE HIM TO ME.

FRIENDS?

[ screaming ]

- THAT WAS AWFULLY CLOSE! - [ laughs ]

I LOVED IT.

WHAT'S HAPPENED?

THE BOURNES ARE NOW BURNED OUT.

MARITA, IT'S ALL COMING BACK-- EVERYTHING.

THE BOURNES?

- ARE WE THE BOURNES? - YES.

WE ARE MOST DEFINITELY THE BOURNES.

David's voice: IT ALWAYS MADE ME HAPPY TO REMEMBER MY FATHER.

AND I KNEW HE WOULD HAVE LIKED THIS STORY.
