All language subtitles for EmmanullLLove(1993) XXXXXXXXXXXX

In the sacred mountains of Tibet,
Emmanuel was chosen to become the

of all women.

With one drop of secret perfume, she
could become young again or enter the

of another woman.

Thank you.

Come with us and share the adventures of
Emmanuel.

He's not too shy, is he?

I'm sure those two don't mind.

Speaking of shy, it reminds me of a
story.

You're amazing.

Go on, tell me.

It's about twins.

Twins, as in two?

Yes, usually there are two twins in a
set.

I was on a South American tour promoting
a new line of clothes.

Nikki was one of my friends when I used
to be a model.

She called me because she wanted to meet
me in Hong Kong.

I felt she needed me.

I was happy to see this old English
colony, sort of floating town, which was

previously the center of traffic for the
Far East until it fell into the grasp

of the People's Republic of China.

Nicky was working for Nino Gilberto, a
young and bright international

businessman who was managing real estate
business for the account of an American

company.

He had offices all over the world,
situated in first -class international

hotels.

speaking. Could you connect me to my
office, please?

I've got to get in touch with Nikki as
soon as possible.

Mr.

Gilberto's office.

Oh, hello, Mr. Gilberto.

Yes, of course the contract's typed.

Just a moment. I'll get it.

Yes, paragraph 8.

An amendment?

Oh, gosh, will you excuse me?

Just a second, sir.

Hey, Nino, over here.

Hello, Josh. How are you? Fine.

Fine as frog's hair.

Hey, you haven't even had a drink yet
and you're already turning down Chinese

love? What kind of businessman are you?
Well, I hope I'm a wise one, my friend.

I know you are. And let's drink to your
wisdom.

How's Sarah?

Oh, she's a pain.

She always has been, and she always will
be.

We're not here to speak about her, are
we? No.

Oh, what about you? How's your love
life?

I still haven't found the right one.

I'll tell you.

Find the wrong one, and then you'll have
the right ones on the side.

That's what I've done.

I could let you have the whole chain for
ten million.

That's across the nation.

And there's one in L .A., one in Frisco,
two in New York, one in Boston, and one

in Dallas.

That's six restaurants.

And each one of them has done over a
million dollars in profits before last

year.

One can't lose.

Yeah, but even with that kind of profit,
what am I going to do with a chain of

Chinese restaurants in the United
States?

We'll eat one hell of a lot of chop
suey.

Let me think about it.

Nikki?

Nikki? Nikki, wake up.

Oh, my darling. Let me sleep just a
little bit more.

Only way I can't get up, I haven't
finished my dream.

Nicky, it's after six.

Mr. Gilberto, would you like some
coffee?

Well, the coffee runneth over.

Oh, how about a glass of Chablis?

Sure. Why don't you have one with me,
please?

It's always hard to open it.

Sorry.

Hey,

can you manage?

Yeah, fine.

I'll get you, you bloody bottle.

But how can anything possibly resist
you? I don't know. Maybe because that

bottle was expecting some businessman
would open it. I adore your sense of

humor. Do you need any help? No.

Oh, sorry.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I've only been here for a couple of
months, and I can't do anything right.

No, no, no. You're perfect.

I mean, I used to have an assistant who
was like the Wicked Witch of the West.

She never smiled, and she thought that
business was the middle name of some

influential god.

Then I had one who reeked of sex all the
time.

She used to drool all over her desk.

You're awfully nice to me, and I promise
I'll try to change.

No. You change, and you're fired.

Now, I think we ought to get out of
these clothes, and let's go to dinner.

o 'clock.

Okay? I'll come pick you up, and I want
your advice on a little business

transaction.

Okay? Well, all right.

I'll go change, but I promise that I'm
not going to change at all.

Good.

I like you that way.

glad to see you.

Cover yourself properly.

Someone else is having a shower? No.
Why?

It's running. Oh, it's me. I was taking
a shower.

No kidding.

Let's have a drink, okay?

What brings you here?

Nikki, you asked me to come, remember?

Oh, yes, you're right.

Good.

Do I help myself?

Oh, I'm sorry.

What about a whiskey?

I'm sorry. I'm completely upside down
these days. So tell me.

What's the problem?

Well, I think I'm in love, dear.

Good thing I had business in Hong Kong.

If not, I have to think about running an
agency for lonely hearts. You see, it's

the man I'm working for, Nino Gilberto.

He's so wonderful, sweet, handsome, well
-educated.

And above all, what a culture. You won't
believe it.

Oui. And you're in love with him.

And you told him.

Oh.

No, he would laugh at me.

What?

You know me, and he's a leader, a strong
head, and I'm just a lumpish.

Last week he introduced me to his
mother.

I slipped heavily on the carpet. I fell
on the floor.

I dropped a bowl of cream on the knees
of the poor lady, and I poked her on the

eye. You can imagine.

Nevertheless, on the plane coming
over...

He told me he enjoys traveling with me.
How nice it is to work with me without

having to fear that I'm after him for
his money or anything.

That I'm like a little sister.

You want him to look on you like a woman
instead of a pal.

It's my one and only dream.

I think I can help you. Help me?

How?

By becoming you.

Believe me, dear, I have caused enough
damages.

Don't move. I'll be right back.

Incredible. You are me.

So?

How do I look?

I don't believe this. How did you do it?

That's my secret.

I completely forgot I'm having dinner
with him at eight.

Listen.

You sit down.

And you relax.

Tonight. I'm having dinner with him,
okay?

Got some clothes for me to wear.

Yeah, you bet I do.

But what are your plans now?

I'm going to seduce him.

You mean I'm going to seduce him?

Yes. But please, be nice with him
because he's a wonderful man, so don't

him, don't spoil anything.

Listen, I might as well not go. You just
tell me. No, but you better get

dressed. He'll be here at eight.

Boy, I'm so nervous I can't stand it.

What am I going to say to him? You won't
say anything. You'll be in the

bathroom. What if he wants to wash his
hands?

Don't worry about that. He won't wash
his hands at all, I promise you.

Hurry, he'll be here in a minute.

You look great.

Thanks. I can return the compliment and
double it.

You're dazzling in that dress.

I guess you've been dating it for a
special occasion.

But maybe you're the special occasion.

Who knows?

Now, would you like a drink?

I won't say no.

What do we have?

The usual.

Okay, the usual.

Well, make yourself comfortable. I'll be
back in a second, okay?

So, is he beautiful?

I can understand why you're in love with
him.

I think I could easily fall in love with
him, too, you know. You have a

wonderful view from your window.

I'll see with the night porter if he can
get the same suite for you.

So what am I going to do now?

You've already gone where I've never
gone before, so please hold yourself,

because remember, he's mine.

Okay, now what did he drink?

I think that he likes vodka.

Vodka?

Vodka martini.

I'm sorry, but you know what women are
like.

We always want to look the best in front
of men.

Well, how about a nice vodka martini?
Well stirred, but not shaken.

Yeah, sure, but forget the martini part.

That's all right. So, vodka martini, but
without martini.

That's what I like about you, your sense
of humor.

Really? I thought you would say that I
have great legs.

Well, yeah, that too.

How about drinking a toast to my legs?

Aren't you going to have a drink?

How could I forget the most important
guest of the evening, myself?

You know, you really make me laugh.

Like today, I mean, you amended
paragraph four instead of eight. Am I

To us?

Look,

I made a reservation today at a great
Italian restaurant, and I know you like

pasta.

That's very nice.

That's what I like about you. You're so
considerate of others.

That's because I care about you.

Listen, why don't we have dinner right
here? I heard the room service is

perfect, and we can easily talk business
without being bothered by anybody.

Nikki, you and I have traveled around
the world together, and I've always

thought just that. Why don't we just
stay inside, eat TV dinners, and rough

I think I'd like roughing it with you,
and maybe a lot more.

Then I'll call room service to do it.

Now, what'll you have?

Surprise me.

I'll be right back.

Hello,

room service.

Hello. What do you think?

I think you're going too far, and pretty
soon he'll know that you're not me.

I've got him in the palm of my hand.
Okay, so keep it to the palm of your

will you? If you're not interested, it's
all right. You go out there and I'll

stay here, okay?

Certainly not. You go out there. I'm
very curious to know what happens next,

like in a soap.

Curious?

Good.

Now then, we've got about half an hour
to kill.

What would you like us to do?

Would you like to play a game of poker?

No.

Actually, there is something I wanted to
say.

That's what I had to say.

You're whispering. I can't hear you
properly.

You're still whispering. Say it again,
please.

Will you excuse me?

You let him kiss you. What was I
supposed to say? Hold it, mister.

I'll go and get the real Nikki.

I'll be a good kisser.

Not bad.

It's your turn now. He's hot enough.

What do you mean my turn?

We're not playing team relay here. I
don't know what to do.

Listen, if you don't want to, I don't
mind. I can carry on with your part.

I'm so sorry.

Don't worry.

Now, where were we? I would appreciate a
drink.

Oh, thank

you.

Oh!

Was I drinking that stuff?

Yes.

This is wonderful.

It's the first time you ever kissed me.
I mean that you ever kissed me like

that.

Maybe we'd better stop before we can't
put out the fire.

You want me to cancel room service?

Oh, you mean the dinner? Uh, no, no, no.

Let's behave until after dinner.

Right.

Let's behave.

All of a sudden, I'm not very hungry.

I'll be right back. Will you excuse me,
please?

No problem.

I'll uncork their champagne.

What's wrong? You tell me.

Just looking at all that food gives me a
stomachache.

I just can't eat. Sorry, but you have to
go back.

No, no, listen. I have a better idea.

You go and have dinner, and then we
switch back afterwards.

That's great. I'm starving.

This is for you.

Here. Thank you, you're welcome

All

right,

let's eat now I knew you'd have a change
of heart Do you mind I

think I'd better pour

It's funny. I don't know. You're
different.

Usually you're so shy and timid, but now
you're so sure of yourself.

Well, you know, behind every woman there
is another one.

Yeah, like a double personality.

Exactly. To us.

To us. Hey, where are your glasses?

What glasses?

Oh, right.

Sometimes they give me a headache.

Why are you asking me?

I don't know.

I like you with or without.

That's amazing for someone who wasn't
hungry.

Will you excuse me, darling? I'll be
right back.

What are you doing?

Sorry, it slipped. Please try not to
make any noise, will you?

Nicky?

And Nicky?

There are two of you.

And only one you know.

Isn't it too much for you?

Oh, I don't think so.

Oh, this is every man's dream.

This moment was unique.

I had never felt such an extreme and
complete pleasure.

My desire for Nino remained deeply
imprinted in my sweetest memories for a

time.

This is a wonderful story.

Just hearing it makes my mouth water.

So what happened after that?

I let them sleep it off.

Nicky got up in the middle of the night
to eat.

She was starving.

What about him? What did he say? Nicky
told him he must have been dreaming.

They got married soon after that.

They spent their wedding night on the
Trans -Canadian.

Oh, I love trains.

So do I.

Nina wanted to buy the time a haul, but
of course it didn't for sale.

So instead he rented a car on the train
of the Maharajas for his new bride, me

and a few other friends.

What a way to travel.

And then what happened?

I'll tell you the story.

And there we were.

Back again in the damp heat of New
Delhi, ready to take the train of the

Marajas, which is called the Palace on
Wheels.

It was drawn by a steam engine.

I was surprised that this train could
cross those towns, such as Agra, where

Taj Mahal reposes in its white splendor.

I wanted to take that train for a long
time, but I never had the opportunity to

do it until Niki and Nino's honeymoon.

Sarah Brooke and Josh Harris were also
invited.

Sarah was living with Josh when she had
that terrible car accident in Santa

Barbara. I was with her at that time.

After that accident, she was almost
disfigured.

But she was so rich that she could get
all the men in the world.

Unfortunately, she was deeply in love
with a single man, Josh Harris.

Sarah, open the door, will you? I'd like
to change before dinner.

You already changed at the hotel before
we left.

Now listen, you little best.

No, you listen to me. Sarah.

This is our engagement and our friend's
honeymoon.

So let's at least behave for the peanut
gallery.

I didn't particularly enjoy being a part
of the so -called scene.

My cabin was near theirs, and I could
hear them quarreling.

I didn't ask the so -called friends of
yours to come and join us.

It was supposed to be a quiet little
trip for us, but now all we need are

bloody parents.

Emmanuel and Leon happened to be my
friends, and at the Cheyenne Con saved

life. Now my parents would have been
there, except that my mother is ill and

father, gentleman that he is, stayed
behind to care for her.

Where's Josh?

Well, I don't know. Late as usual.

Could be he jumped off the train.

Don't be silly. A gigolo doesn't jump
off a moving train. He stays on until

end of the ride.

How is business, Nino?

You mean the deal with Josh?

What did I tell you?

Ladies.

You late?

But I'm here.

That's all you have to say? I'm here? No
apologies? No nothing?

Would you like me to apologize?

Not to me, but to Sarah, yes.

Sarah's like a child.

Apologizing to her will make her even
more difficult to deal with.

She'd expect it all the time.

And anyway, love is like business.

And I never apologize in business.

Isn't that right, Nino?

I do.

Bad idea.

I'm so thirsty my throat is as dry as a
Dead Sea Scroll.

Perhaps you'll permit me to read your
throat sometime.

Hey, for a fatly man, you're doing
pretty good.

I'm sure you could teach me a couple of
tricks.

That was said in jest.

Anyway, I don't do tricks, but I'll be
happy to teach you.

And also to both of you.

I realized that Sarah's life had become
a disaster.

Obviously, Josh had nothing but contempt
for her.

He was only interested in money.

I'm fed up with you. You're just a
spoiled kid. Let me out of here.

Let me out of here right away.

Get away from that door. You just leave
me alone. I've had it. Now stop it.

Don't you understand? I can't stand
looking at your face. Do you get it,

huh?

Thank you.

Please, please help me.

What's the matter?

I think we're near the end of a chapter
in the book of my life.

Come on in.

You've noticed that things are not what
they seem.

Yes. The atmosphere is thick and tempers
fly.

Poor girl.

Come on.

Obviously that young man was a fortune
hunter.

Yes. And Sarah thought that things had
gotten worse since her accident.

But I think that the outcome would have
been the same.

Accident or not.

Possibly. But there are always signs.

Yes. And the signs were clear.

We went on with our trip without
changing anything.

Jaipur, Pink City.

Big rides on elephants to the rat
castle.

The Hindu temple of Aidapur Yathakmer,
at the beginning of the desert.

Bharatpur. A bird sanctuary, a wonderful
spread of fields and canals.

Then we left for Agra, final purpose of
our trip.

The Taj Mahal, the most magnificent
creation ever built by a man for the

a woman.

But how could I forget that my best
girlfriend was sad and miserable?

This hasn't really been the trip I was
hoping for. Josh hasn't been sleeping

with me. The whole seven days we spent
half a night together.

He's been sleeping with another woman.

Right in front of my eyes. Maybe it's
better that way. Yes, you're right. I

don't need him. But what about my money?

Your money?

What do you mean? He's been handling my
estate for a couple of years.

He gets commission on my stock.

He's been able to put a little aside for
his retirement.

How much is a little bit?

Close to two million dollars.

That's a little bit much.

And I think you should get it back.

It's been straight across the board.

But I was blind and stupid.

What can I do? I'm desperate.

I don't trust him anymore.

I've got an idea.

Drink your tea.

I knew it was dangerous.

I was staying with destiny.

But I couldn't let my friend lose her
love, her money, her life.

Hera.

This perfume is going to change you into
any woman you want to be.

I know your heart is pure.

And you must trust me.

I trust you, Emmanuel.

Incredible.

I'm beautiful again.

Sarah, you have always been beautiful.

How can I thank you?

Your friendship is thanks enough.

Now, this is what we're going to do.

From now on, your name is Clarissa.

Nobody has seen Sarah.

What about you, Mr. Kahn?

I haven't seen her either.

You still don't call him Mr. Kahn after
all these years he's been with you?

First, it's I who was with him.

And anyway, Josh, respect is a concept
you will never know.

Not only the concept, the feeling as
well.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm in the wrong place.

Emmanuel!

Clarissa!

This is wonderful. What are you doing
here? The same as you. I suppose I'm on

vacation.

Come, let me introduce you to my
friends.

Oh, I don't want to bother you. Oh, come
on. Don't be silly.

You remember Atishain Khan?

Well, of course. And how are you, Mr.
Kahn?

As well as can be expected.

You look ravishing as ever, my dear.

What a gentleman you are.

And this is Diane.

And Josh Harris.

The famous Josh Harris?

In person.

To serve you.

This is Clarissa Bergson, a dear old
friend I've known all my life.

Won't you join us for a cup of tea? Or
perhaps we could get something even

stronger. Thank you so much, but I hope
I'm not intruding.

May I call you Clarissa?

Well, of course.

I'll get the steward. I'll go with you.

So, Clarissa, what brings you to India?

Well, I came to India to study various
activities of an industrial group.

According to my uncle, who takes care of
my inheritance, investments here could

be fabulous.

And you?

Oh, I was counseling a friend.

She seems to have disappeared.

What are you investing in, if I may
inquire?

What can I do? I've got $30 million
sleeping in Fort Knox, and only money

how to make money.

Oh, believe me, I know.

Josh fell easily into the trap.

Ah, bring us some booze over here.
Scotch, vodka, gin, tequila, and we're

to have us some well -deserved fun.

That's a good idea.

I'm so thrilled I have found you,
Emmanuel, and to meet a person like Mr.

Harris. Why don't you call me Josh?

Listen, I'm going to get some shut -eye.
We arrive in Delhi at 7 .45 tomorrow

morning. I'll do the same.

Good night.

Sweet dreams, Emmanuel.

We'll speak tomorrow.

Yeah, right.

Tomorrow, tomorrow.

Well, long at last.

You know, it's really odd. I knew that
something would happen on this train,

that I would meet someone like you.

And look, it happened.

And here I am now, alone with you.

The pleasure is all mine.

Look at that.

Yes, who is it?

It's Josh.

Come back later.

I can't. I have to speak with you. But
I'm not dressed.

Why, don't mind.

Just a minute.

I had to see you.

Make it quick. I have a meeting in half
an hour.

Look, the reason I had to see you is
because I've fallen in love with you.

I've been on the phone all night, and I
can't find this investment.

The one you spoke to me about.

You mean the Calista Fund? You won't
find it. It's not listed yet.

Then how can you invest in it?

Through my uncle. He is chairman of the
board of Rutledge Corporation.

And he knows that Calista Fund is going
on the market tomorrow at 9 a .m.

So?

So, it's very simple.

If you want shares, you have to make a
deposit before tomorrow morning.

I think it's already too late.

Too bad, but there'll be other occasion.

Clarissa, I beg of you.

I must have you.

Let me have you. You're the most
beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on.

I cannot let myself go with someone
below my rank.

Oh, you're the devil.

The devil? Me?

Oh, please.

You have to do something for me.

Where's the phone?

Yes, this is Mr. Harris. Give me my
office in New York, please.

Yes, I'll hang on.

Cheryl?

It's Josh.

Listen.

Transfer $2 million to Rutledge
Corporation.

No, don't think, Cheryl. Transfer. It's
a gold mine.

I don't care. Just do it.

The code? Oh, yes, yes.

609 -411.

Astral 101.

Yes. All right, bye.

Goodbye.

I'm rich.

Thanks to you, you wonderful little
woman.

This is a nightmare.

No.

No.

No.

Damn phone.

What is this?

This is a masquerade.

I've been had.

Now why isn't the phone working?

You see, Mr. Josh.

You just transferred $2 million into a
corporate account that was opened just

yesterday in Sarah's name.

This is highly unethical.

Oh, coming from you, Mr. Harris, it
sounds like a compliment.

Oh, by the way, Nino and Nikki left
earlier.

He asked me to tell you that he wasn't
interested in your chain of restaurants.

For the film.

I allowed myself to play, as you call
it, a trick, and in order for

the transfer to go through, it's
necessary that you

rest now.

It's unbelievable. How did you do that?

Do what?

I didn't do anything.

He simply thought I was doing something.

One day I'll explain to you how it
works.

Thanks, both of you.

Thanks, the three of you. Oh, I didn't
do much. I just followed and I had a

time.

I was thinking of some old friends in
San Francisco.

San Francisco.

One of the world's most beautiful
cities.

Yes, and the people are friendly, too.

They've got substance to them, unlike so
many other Americans.

Do I detect a story coming on?

You do.

But it's one I'm not particularly proud
of, as a matter of fact.

It's about Nicky Janini.

You know my friend from Hong Kong?

Oh, of Nicky and Nino fame.

That's them.

And tell me what it was you weren't
proud of.

Well, I have to tell you the story for
you to understand.

You remember my saying how much I
enjoyed my escapades with Nino?

Yeah.

Well, the last time I passed through San
Francisco, I really convinced myself I

only wanted to see Nicky.

I missed her and all that.

She was an old friend after all.

Things had changed between Nino and
Nicky.

Nicky was living in a houseboat, a
Sausalito.

Nicky never closed the door in her whole
life, so I was surprised to find it

closed for once.

And moreover, to hear certain things
which made me think that troubles

Nicky and Nino were resolved.

But I was far from the truth.

Oh, cut, cut.

For God's sake, lady, what are you
doing?

I thought this was where Nicky Gilberto
lived.

Nicky? Nikki.

Hey, Manuel.

Over here.

All right, Montreux.

Okay, everybody.

Back to work.

What's going on?

Rex, how's the second hanging?

Okay, Jack.

Good. Great. And you, Dolores?

Fine, Jack.

Great, great. Okay, everybody.

Camera. Move.

Nikki, what is this? It's a neurotic
movie, isn't it obvious?

They needed something a little bit
exotic and also different.

So I said, why not? I was bored, and
it's so funny.

What does Nino think about it?

He doesn't know about it. I'm in this
house, though, but it's not mine.

It belongs to a friend of ours.

You see our apartment?

It isn't ready yet.

Oh, my God, the size of that member.

But look at that. My God, it's
unbelievable.

Real animals.

What are they playing, these guys?
Nikki, calm down.

When will they finish well, I suppose we
have to wait until the guy comes

Nikki.

Nikki.

Nikki,

I'm a little surprised.

Nikki, you seem depressed.

No, no, not at all. I'm fine.

Are you Emmanuel?

Me too.

How is he?

Nino is just fine.

He had to go away on a business trip.

He'll be so sorry to have missed you,
you know.

I'm so... so damp here.

Listen, I'm going to take a bath, and
I'll show you your room, okay?

Okay.

Not nearly as sorry as I was to have
missed him.

He'd been tempted in Hong Kong?

I hadn't thought so.

But he stayed on my mind.

If I didn't visit them in San Francisco
before, it was because I wanted the

temptation, the feeling to fade before I
saw them again.

And it hadn't?

I guess not. Not according to the
emptiness I felt when she said he was

The following morning, I took my
breakfast alone.

Nikki?

Nikki!

Oh, don't make fun of me.

What happened to you?

Did you go fishing?

Stop laughing.

What happened?

I tried to kill myself.

What? Now look at me.

I tried to jump overboard, but there
wasn't enough water.

Nikki, what are you doing? You don't
drink vodka.

Oh, Emmanuel, everything's wrong.

I'm just miserable, and I lied to you.

I'm completely down and desperate.

Nino dumped me.

For that bitch, that Sonia.

Nino dropped you? For who?

Sonia.

Sonia? But you don't understand.

But it's impossible, Nicky. He's so much
in love with you. But he only likes my

legs.

Of course. You've got great legs.

But you better tell me.

And dry yourself.

You're going to catch a cold. Come on.

Hold it.

Let me see.

Yes, you still have your contact lenses.

Nikki, don't worry.

You're so beautiful.

What's the use of having a nice body if
you're not even able to keep the man you

love? To find another one. But I don't
want another one.

Why? You could have any man you wanted.

I want him and him only.

Why? Because it's him. I don't know how
to say it.

He's my man.

You remember that restaurant in
Chinatown where we used to have our

room?

Well, I made a big mistake. I took him
there.

And that's where he met that Sonia.

My Manuel, it's so good to see you right
now.

There's a private room at the back of
the restaurant where we used to go

together after work.

Yes, may I help you?

Nino, it's me, Emmanuel.

Nicky's friend.

Emmanuel. What a surprise.

Well, I was hoping I might find you
alone.

Well, I won't be for long.

In fact, I thought you were someone
else.

Who? The Queen of Sheba?

Have you been in San Francisco long?

About 20 minutes.

I'm staying with Nikki in Solfalido.

She asked me to say hello.

And how is she?

Alive and well.

Is she angry about the turn of events?

I don't think so.

She misses you.

Oh, my God, I hung up!

Now that I had seen Nino again, I
couldn't wait to use my perfume.

And become Sonia.

happened to you what day is today
tuesday

when did i arrive yesterday afternoon

feels more like three weeks

are you feeling all right

Like a million bucks?

Listen, sweetie.

I think I understand Nino a little
better now.

But it's going to take a little longer
than I had hoped.

Do you mind?

Listen, I don't follow you anymore.
Because last night you told me that you

didn't understand him. And now you
change your mind.

Yeah, yeah. Well, they say sleep brings
counsel.

Really? From the look of you, I don't
think you got the right counseling.

How was yours and Nikki's sex life?

Not too bad. Why?

Only not too bad?

Well, I had one orgasm or two. Is that
what you mean?

Only one orgasm or two?

Well, why? Isn't that enough?

Oh, yes, of course, of course.

But why didn't you ever try for more?

Well, I don't think Nino could.

He didn't seem very interested by sex.

Listen, Nicky.

I've got a plan.

But you have to promise me something.

What?

When you get back, you go after him.

Let him know you want him.

And I can guarantee you, you're going to
keep him for a whole life.

How do you know?

I know it.

Just trust me.

So you put your plan in action?

Not exactly.

No?

I intended to.

I understand Miss would be at the
funeral.

No, Ling.

Please show me not our room.

As soon as I saw him, I nearly fainted.

Although my reason was trying to remind
me of my friendship for Nikki.

What a surprise.

No, stop it.

We really, we really, we need to talk.

You bet.

And I know exactly what I mean to say.

But I couldn't help it. It was
monstrous. It was divine.

It was just like in Hong Kong and even
more

And when did you start pleading Nicky's
cause?

That's just it. I didn't.

Not that day, or any of the many days
after.

The only thing I could think of was
getting my hands on Nino.

And he was a willing conferrer.

As a matter of fact, the more we made
love, the more I enjoyed it.

The only thing which could stop me was
the fear that the perfume would not work

anymore and that the spirit of Sonia
would take possession of her body again.

Nikki. Oh, good morning.

You're up early today.

Aren't you feeling well?

It's all right.

I'll be fine.

Have you called a doctor?

I don't have to.

But why? Maybe it's serious.

You bet it is.

If it's a boy, I think I'll call him
Jeff. And if it's a girl, I'll name her

Jennifer.

Oh, my God.

Who is it?

Nino?

So that was the big secret.

That was the secret. And why she was so
eager to get Nino back.

I felt about two inches high.

I lied to Nicky.

I lied to Mino, and I betrayed the
spirit of the monk's potion.

You have a pure heart, Ymir.

I behaved like a selfish pig.

And what happened in the end? I decided
to get away as quickly as possible.

Could you reserve a seat, please?

I'll call you back. Thank you.

I've been thinking a lot about you these
past few days.

And I was wondering how you were.

How are you?

And I... I don't quite know how to say
this, but...

I wanted you to know that... And I'm
very sorry if I hurt you.

I know I behaved like a fool.

I guess that's it.

Better go now.

Nino.

Nino.

I think Nicky would like very much for
you to stay a little more.

So he was happy to be a future father.

Over the moon.

So they got back together after all?

No thanks to me.

I'm not so sure, my dear.

You're more faithful to the spirit of
the monk's potion than you think.

No. No clever sophistry to make me feel
better.

Not at all. Look at the facts.

You wore poor Nino Gilberto to such a
frazzle that he knew if he went back to

Sardinia, she'd kill him.

He never stopped loving Nicky. He was
fascinated by the passion aroused in him

by Sonia.

And by exaggerating it, he's sure how
empty it would eventually become.

Maybe you're right.

I'd love to think so.

I felt a creep for so long.

I have no fear.

The purity of your heart.

Just one more thing, though.

I want it one more time.

Just one more time with Nino.

Every girl in the town.
