Happy anniversary, Father.

You're both incorrigible.

Well, 20. That's a C minus.

What, you mean you couldn't get it to raise my mark?

Shit, Raphaél, that means I don't graduate.

Yes you do. She wanted to flunk you, but I managed to work her up a little.

Oh, you did it, you bastard!

You did it.

You mean here, right now?

You heard me. Do it just for me.

You get turned on watching, huh?

Well, you've got the cutest ass in the world, baby.

Nice and slow. Don't rush it.

Not yet.

Oh, what a beautiful pair of tits you got.

Come and get him.

Oh, you haven't forgotten my friend Alexis.

You're gonna change his grade, right?

Anything you want.

Ah, that bitch. Oh, amazing.

- Yes, yes.

- B minus? - Okay. Anything.

Is this worth a B?

- Huh? - Oh, yes.

How about an A minus?

Yes, yes. Just don't stop.

How about an A? Don't you think I've earned it for him?

Yes. Ah...

Yes!

Oh, boy. That's great, Raphaél.

Ah, that's too much.

Too much for a lazy good-for-nothing like you.

Very funny.

- Hey, Raphaél! - Yeah?

I'm graduating, thanks to you and our brilliant plan.

What can I do for you?

That's easy.

An "A". They'll never believe it.

Say, Raphaél, are you sure you want to spend your vacation at my house?

The whole family's going to be there.

It's going to bore the shit out of you.

You're sure that's what you want?

I'm sure, all right. I'm dying to meet your family.

We're going to have lots of laughs, you'll see.

Sure, with my mother and my sisters and my old man, of course.

Oh, I almost forgot.

The maid with the huge tits.

Welcome to heaven.

Heaven or hell?

Anyway, I try not to get involved.

I've gotten my Betty, and that's all I care about.

Here comes my kid sister.

Hi. You really graduated, that's fantastic.

I knew you would.

When do we celebrate?

Your sister deserves an "A" herself.

Hey, cut the shit! Laura, will you get off the car?

You'll scratch it up. What a pain in the ass you are.

Cut it out, will you?

Don't say that I didn't warn you, Raphaél.

This is only the beginning.

That's my family for you.

Hey, you little pest. How are you?

Come here.

Raphaél. My baby sister, Laura.

She's my mother's favorite.

Hello, sir.

Call me Raphaél. That's my name.

What a nice name.

Hi, Priscilla.

Hello.

This is Raphaél, my best friend at school.

Hello.

Good morning!

Hello, Dad.

I'm so glad you graduated.

And you managed to do it without ever opening a book.

You're a genius. You really are.

You know, I really tried hard.

I didn't stop working for a second.

I guess it paid off. And your Betty Boop will be glad.

You're making fun of the girl I love.

I want you to know that.

You know very well I think she's a lovely girl.

You still haven't introduced me to your friend.

Sorry. Raphaél, my father.

Welcome to our home.

Thank you, sir!

I'd better go now.

See you, Dad.

Jericho! Stop it!

- My Mom's down there. - Jericho, calm down!

My mother won't let anything master her,

- not even a horse. - Daddy, you didn't say goodbye to me!

See ya.

She likes things her way or not at all.

Looks like we're two of a kind.

Calm down, Jericho. I want you to obey me, you hear?

No use whipping him, ma'am.

He's been like this for two days.

I don't need you to tell me that.

Don't, ma'am, please.

Hold him back, Paul. Use the reins.

Oh, ma'am, don't. You're gonna hurt yourself!

Why don't you let Paul handle it?

Take it easy, will ya?

It isn't the first horse I've broken, and it won't be the last.

Go and get your friend settled, dear. We'll talk later.

Jericho, I'm warning you.

Jericho! Come back!

Come back!

Well done. Paul, take Jericho back.

Saddle up Durango and Javelin.

I'm sure our young friend would enjoy a little ride in the woods.

Do you know how to ride?

Well, you can have my boots, they're in the stable.

Go ahead. I'm off to pick up Betty.

See you at lunch.

You're tired already?

You ride very well, you know. For a beginner, that is...

You can't fool me.

You enjoy it, though.

I'm very, very impressed.

You've got a feel for mounting an animal.

You're limber, very poised.

A good body, strong legs.

Yes. I think you will ride very well.

It would depend on the horse.

Well, we should get back now, don't you think?

Raphaél. Did you have a nice ride?

Well, I sure hope my mother wasn't a drag.

Listen, we're going to play some tennis. Do you want to join us?

No, thanks, but you guys go ahead.

- Yeah, okay. - See you later.

Your room's upstairs. Your stuff's already there.

The maid took it up. Betty, we're waiting for you.

- Hello, Raphaél. - Betty!

Wait a second.

- See you later, okay? - Okay.

- Alexis, wait! Hey, wait for me! - Move it!

I'm coming! Wait for me!

I'm just curious how I should punish you for that.

Oh, you're so strong. That's what I love about you.

Your strength. You can be so hot.

I want you.

Oh, you make me crazy.

Oh, yes. Yes, just like that.

Oh, make me cum.

Oh, yes!

Who said you could come in here?

Get out, right now.

Would you kindly leave?

Don't come any closer.

Cool it, huh?

And just how do you like me?

I'm strong.

You like my strength too?

Who's stronger, you or me?

I know what turns you on.

And I know what you need.

So why don't we get down to business?

You like things your way, don't you?

Too bad.

From now on, I give the orders.

You do whatever I tell you to do.

Understand?

You like that, huh?

You're not afraid of anything, are you?

On your knees.

That's the way I like to see you.

You look good down there.

Real good.

You're not used to it, are you?

How do you like it?

I like to do things at my own pace.

That's the way.

Go on, into your throat all the way!

You know my rhythm. Good.

Now let's get down to the main event.

Okay. Get up.

Not here. Please.

- You do as I say. - No, Raphaél. Not here. We can't.

No, not that way.

- Yes. - No.

No, what?

Oh, you smell good.

You think I can mount any animal?

Oh, don't say that, please.

Don't I ride well?

Answer me!

Yes, yes. Harder, harder!

Oh, more. Don't stop! Harder!

Take it in your hand.

You heard me.

In your hand I said. Yeah.

You like that, don't you?

Don't you? I can't hear you.

Don't you?

Yes, yes!

Caress it. That's good.

Did you enjoy that, Jericho?

Did you dig it, Audrey?

It was tough, huh?

Not as tough as what you did to her.

Raphaél. Lunch in ten minutes.

- Coffee, Raphaél? - Never touch it.

When's Daddy coming back?

Tonight, darling.

He's never here.

Well, he's a busy man.

Oh, I forgot to tell you all.

Raphaél rides wonderfully.

I wouldn't have believed it.

Yes, he rides like a dream.

It's so nice to have found a new riding companion.

We had a good time together, didn't we, Raphaél?

Raphaél. How about a drink?

- Gin. Whiskey. Cognac? Brandy? - No, thanks.

- Nothing? - No, no.

Stop all that drinking. You're gonna get fat.

Alexis' weight is fine.

If he exercises a little more, he won't get fat.

How about getting off my case for a while?

I'm supposed to be on vacation.

I want to relax, let off a little steam.

I'm old enough to know what I want, for heaven's sake.

Say, what do you think, Madeleine? Huh?

Don't you agree, Raphaél?

Oh, you're so clumsy. How could you do that?

Priscilla, try to be a little more careful.

I'm terribly sorry, Raphaél.

Raphaél, would you like to go out with Alexis and me to a restaurant tonight?

Great idea.

After we go to a disco and celebrate my graduation.

Okay with you, Mom?

Certainly. You're very lucky.

I'm stuck with the Laroches for dinner tonight.

Mom, is it okay if I go with them, please?

Certainly not. I need you here

and besides, you're too young to be hanging around discotheques.

Don't you agree, Raphaél?

Young or old, all women end up the same sooner or later.

Anyway, count me out.

I can't dance and besides, Papa's guests are always interesting.

I think I'll go and practice now.

Well done, for somebody clumsy enough to spill the coffee.

You frightened me.

Do you mind if I continue?

As long as I'm not the target, go ahead.

Don't you ever get tempted to shoot at other things?

Such as?

I don't know. At things you don't like, for example.

I'd run out of arrows.

You're disturbing me.

Mm. That's your worst shot yet.

I've never been that far off.

You put a jinx on me.

Do you think maybe your emotions had something to do with it?

Don't be silly.

Raphaél!

Hey. Come on. Alexis is waiting.

You're supposed to go into town together.

I don't believe you, Priscilla.

Emotions never die.

I'm smashed out of my skull.

You think you're so funny?

What do you expect me to drink, 7 Up?

When you drink you drink, and I'm drunk.

Let's have one more for the road.

That's just what you sourpusses need.

Enough! Alexis, you're acting stupid.

It's so quiet in the house.

Mom and Dad are sleeping, dreaming of happiness, of health and wealth.

It's a night made for love and for blood.

2 o'clock in the morning.

Not a creature was stirring.

Not even a... lala... mouse.

Let's drink.

Alexis, you know my folks. I've got to get home.

I said one for the road. Just one.

What are you drinking?

But you've had more than enough to drink already.

I'll mix you one of my specials, okay?

Trust me. You know what it is.

It's called a Singapore Sling.

Your hair looks great.

Ah, hello Madeleine.

Haven't you gone to bed yet? It's so late.

I just finished cleaning up.

I can make you a nice omelet with a bottle of champagne,

if you'd like something before going to bed.

It'll just take a minute.

That's a wonderful idea.

It was nice of you to have thought of us, wasn't it?

Thank you. You're a prince.

A wonderful drink, Raphaél.

And now. Are you ready?

Music for your dancing pleasure.

Alexis, I have to go home.

Come on, let's dance.

It's great having a slave.

You want to get laid? She's right there.

Day or night, they're always hot to trot.

Oh, certainly, sir. Whatever you say, sir.

Very practical.

Oh, knock it off.

- Going to see the slave's boobs? - Alexis.

Huh? Huh?

Servants aren't my style.

Yeah. You don't know what you're missing.

Hey!

Don't get so goddamn righteous.

You'd fuck your own mother.

Let me help you, Madeleine.

I can't. It's impossible.

No, Alexis. Not nice. Let me go!

I want to go home.

No, stop!

You reek of alcohol.

Disgusting! No!

- Stop it! - Let yourself go!

- Leave me alone. - Bitch!

Let me go!

Bitch! Little bitch!

I wanna go home! Leave me alone!

Take this off here.

Let go of me.

Ah! Well, what do we have here?

The new servant.

Did you get your rocks off?

You took an awfully long time.

Omelet.

You did a little nibbling on those boobs of hers, huh?

Right?

- I hope you got a little nookie. - Alexis.

Well, has the maid been made.

- By me? - Aha.

- A maid? - Yeah.

A schoolteacher is okay, but a servant never.

Aha!

You missed something.

She moves like an epileptic.

All servants are filthy scum.

They're good for one thing only.

They know how to spread their legs.

Once we had a servant who ended up getting all knocked up.

I wonder if it was my father.

Alexis. Shut up!

Sorry my dear.

I really don't know what this world would be like without servants.

Do you?

Any time you're horny,

She's ready for a quickie over the sink or in a closet.

They've got such a great sense of obedience.

And their pussies... ahh... have a very special smell.

It's true. There's nothing like a maid's aroma.

Now, what kind of a grade would you give for a smell like that?

Alexis, enough!

Besides, what is all this grade nonsense?

You really want to know?

Okay. Once upon a time, there was a grade.

A mark, a very low failing mark.

So ridiculously low that it was embarrassing.

Well, one day a magician came along and stuck his big magic wand out.

And the low bar...

- ...became the best in the class. - I want to get out of here!

Don't leave, Betty.

I want to make love to you.

If you try it in the condition you're in now.

- Yeah? - You'd get a zero.

You know what the hell you're saying?

Think I'm too pissed, huh?

You just watch, I'll show you.

He's completely shitfaced.

Who's gonna drive me home now?

Get his car keys out of his jacket.

They're in his pocket.

You screw up everything with your drinking.

Raphaél, what's the stuff about marks?

Come on, tell me.

It's got something to do with girls.

I'll bet you grade them, right?

Very funny.

It's just about as funny as giving Alexis more and more to drink.

Tell us why you called WVXY.

I have this feeling I'm being followed and watched all the time.

Don't be a ball buster.

Understand?

Not really, but I know he's out there,

and I'm afraid he's going to show up at my door one day.

I've got a husband who's very Jealous and I don't know what to do.

Raphaél. Raphaél I'm sorry, really, I am.

Yes, but they say it's my imagination.

But I know it's not.

Can you describe your feelings?

Raphaél.

Well, I hear this heavy breathing and footsteps,

but I can't tell where they're coming from.

I can't sleep or anything.

- I'm getting very desperate. - I twisted my ankle.

Oh, it hurts.

- I can talk to your husband about it. - It's hurts like hell.

- Perhaps he could help you.

- Oh. He wouldn't help me. - Where does it hurt? Here?

There.

Do you have this feeling right now?

That feels better.

But I still feel... I mean... not close up this time,

but through binoculars, you know?

I hope it doesn't need a bandage.

No, no, it feels pretty good.

...and say dirty things.

How does this feel?

Great. Don't stop.

Maybe you... you enjoy them?

No. How can you say that?

I'm paralyzed...

That's probably why I don't hang up.

When was the last call you received?

About an hour ago. He didn't say anything.

He just breathed heavily for about ten minutes.

- And you stayed on the line? - Well, yes. I didn't know what to do.

Of course you're welcome to call us any time,

but there's not much we can do for you, unfortunately.

But I'm frightened. You've got to help me.

Raphaél, I think that you ought to know that I'm not on the pill right now.

A gambler, huh?

It doesn't matter.

I lost my bag the other day, and my keys were inside.

Have you tried the lost and found?

No.

Perhaps you should do that tomorrow.

I can hear something.

I think there are two of them.

Look. Calm down, please.

Remember, the doors and the windows are locked.

You're perfectly safe.

There's nothing to worry about, I assure you.

But I'm scared.

Let me make a suggestion to you.

Have a drink.

Try to relax, read a little,

until you tired enough to sleep.

Then tomorrow morning, you go speak to your husband,

get your lock changed and you see a doctor.

Tell him you're very nervous. See what he says.

But... but.. Tomorrow will be too late.

I know it.

Oh. Trust me, please. I'm on your side.

I really want to help you.

What's your name?

Florence. What do you want to know for?

Florence. I just want to call you by your name.

That's all. You've got to stop distrusting everyone.

That's the reason you're getting so uptight.

Not everyone is a sex maniac.

I want to help you. Please believe me.

I'm sorry. It's just that I'm so frightened.

Try to relax a little.

We're going to play some music right now.

Just relax and it'll help you fall asleep.

Think happy thoughts and you'll be just fine.

I'll try, but I don't know if I can.

There's that noise again. It's getting louder.

I'm sure it's all in your mind.

Remember, everything is locked.

You're going to be just fine, Florence.

Do you have any favorite songs?

No, anything would be all right, but...

but please don't hang up now!

I think we're going to have to, Florence.

there are lots of other people who would like to call in and talk to us,

but you call us back later, okay?

And now a little music.

Oh, Raphaél, that was fantastic.

Oh, yeah?

What about you?

This is the first time I ever cheated on Alexis.

It's crazy to do it with his best friend, but I'm not sorry.

It was a trip.

And what kind of mark do I get.

The highest for being stupid, that is.

Otherwise, you flunked.

Son of a bitch!

Shut up, you asshole!

Who the hell do you think you are to slap me, you cunt!

Let me go, you bastard!

- Let me go! - With pleasure.

Fuck off!

Why waste my time with a douchebag like you?

- Walk home. Exercise your fat ass! - You pig!

Scumbag!

- Up yours! - You shithead!

Get lost!

You'll pay for this, shithead!

Okay, get up.

Alexis! Get up!

- Move your ass! - What is it?

Wino.

Get up!

The heir to the family fortune.

You won't last long enough to inherit.

- Did you drive Betty. Huh?

You didn't think I'd let her walk, did you?

- Uh. Thanks, man. - You're very welcome.

- You're a pal. A friend. - Right.

Sure. Now get up, will ya?

Don't waste my time.

- You're a good buddy. - No, I'm not.

Oh, sure you are. The magician who got me graduated.

If I hadn't been so smashed, I would have screwed her all night long.

I'd have showed you a thing or two about making love.

With her?

You didn't miss much.

She flunked out with flying colors.

Now go to bed. All right?

What are you talking about?

I didn't flunk out. I got an A, remember?

I decided to play games in the name of respectability.

What are you doing here, Laura? Go back to your room.

Okay. I'm going.

Raphaél, open up! It's me.

Open up!

I want you.

I won't stay long, I promise.

Open up!

Please, Raphaél.

Alexis just left without a word?

Yes. Betty came over early this morning and he started packing his things.

He said he wanted to get away from the house.

That you shouldn't worry about him.

Oh, no. That's incredible.

How could he leave without an explanation?

That's all I know, ma'am. That's all he said to me.

Maybe he got tired of the atmosphere around here.

Madeleine, keep your opinions to yourself.

Such insolence.

Say something at least.

You never say anything.

You just sit there doing nothing.

You don't want to know anything.

My darling, I have other things to do.

I can't worry about such problems.

In fact, I'm very happy that Alexis has shown a little independence this time.

But he invited his friend to come here.

Oh, by the way, where is Raphaél?

He should be home soon.

He took Priscilla shopping or something like that.

They get along very well.

I really like him.

At least he won't be bored.

I hope our little Laura doesn't get jealous.

Sir, you're wanted on the phone.

It's Mr. Fabian.

I'll be there in a second, Madeleine.

Haven't you ever been tempted to use a more powerful weapon, like this?

No, I can't say that's ever turned me on.

There aren't a hell of a lot of things that do turn you on, are there?

Why should you care, anyway?

But I do care.

Save your concern for my mother.

Because I don't need anybody.

Not bad.

I was wondering, is seducing women your very favorite sport?

I think you're behind Alexis having gone away.

You think so?

Why?

I find it unbelievable that...

...that driving 30km over to Betty's took you more than two hours.

Who's next on your list, Raphaél?

Laura or the maid?

Are you going to do it room by room?

What do you call a male nymphomaniac?

Is that what you think I am?

And you talk about emotions.

Let's go, nymphomaniac.

- Hey, what do you think you're doing? - You'll see soon enough.

- No! Leave me alone! No! - Up you go.

No! Put me down! Stop it!

You have no right to do this.

Stop it! No, no, no! Leave me alone!

Oh, please! Raphaél, stop!

No! No. I don't want to. No!

Well, what grade do I get?

An "A" for emotion.

You're wonderful.

I never thought I'd experience something like this again.

You're a monster.

You could be right.

Who knows?

Stop manipulating Priscilla.

She walks perfectly well, in her mind.

Hello, Raphaél.

Did you have a nice day?

Priscilla had a good time.

And did you buy anything interesting?

I'm very sorry, Alexis just left without saying goodbye.

I think it was rude on his part.

I was Alexis' guest.

If I stay on now, I feel I'll just be in the way.

Oh, we'd love for you to stay for as long as you like.

Please consider this as your home.

I'd like us to get to know each other.

Unless, of course, they're expecting you somewhere else.

Uh, your family, for example.

Where is your family?

I don't have any.

Well, then why don't you stay and spend the whole vacation with us?

Then I wouldn't be the only man alone with all these women.

- What do you say? - Okay, sir. It's a deal.

No, no, no, none of that sir stuff. It's George.

You'll have a good time.

We can do things together.

You're a good athlete. At least, that's what my wife says.

Why don't you think about going jogging with me?

We'll keep each other honest, okay?

See ya, George!

Daddy! Daddy! You didn't say goodbye to me.

Here comes the chocolate cake to end all chocolate cakes.

Madeleine's specialty.

You haven't spoiled us like this for ages.

What's the occasion?

Well, we do have a guest.

Here, let me do that.

I know Laura wants a big piece.

Look who's using makeup now.

Laura, where did you get it? Tell me!

She didn't get it from my room.

- I think it's vulgar. - Priscilla.

It's none of your business, so shut up.

It's never my business.

Oh, this chocolate cake is out of sight.

You're to take all of it off right away.

Oh, she didn't do anything.

It's very pretty.

Keep your opinions to yourself.

Priscilla, please.

Please what? You don't care about anyone except yourself.

So stop pretending.

How about a little horseback riding, Raphaél?

What do you say?

Oh, thanks, Audrey, but this morning was exhausting.

I'm wiped out.

Aries: Some lucky rams may travel abroad this month.

Taurus: Intimacy, emotions and romance are on the horizon for you.

Hi, Madeleine.

I didn't use the tools after all.

Well, the truth is, I'm not very handy.

Leo: A good time to make choices.

Oh, by the way, tomorrow you have the day off.

But it's only the middle of the week.

You have the day off, Madeleine, you need a day off.

But madame didn't tell me I don't...

But that's just it.

Only listen to what's not said.

Sagittarius: Get those bright ideas down on paper for once.

Don't forget. Listen to what's not said.

Don't worry about all those unexpected visits.

They won't last long.

You may even be sorry one of them wasn't longer.

Aquarius.

Well done.

Excellent.

Ah, too bad.

It wasn't my fault, was it?

I never shoot well when you're around.

What's more, you know it.

Relax, baby. We'll talk about it tonight.

If you don't stop on the wrong floor.

Don't worry. I've got a great sense of direction.

You see a lot of Pr... What are you doing?

Packing?

Right. I'm gonna split. It's about time.

But darling, I need you.

Don't go away, please.

You're mad because I see Priscilla.

You think you can own me? That's why I want to split.

It's not that, Raphaél.

It's Priscilla. She's so young

and ever since her accident, she's become very fragile.

It's such a problem.

We find it harder and harder to communicate with each other.

That's your problem.

You're nasty, Raphaél.

But I still like you near me.

We'll see. Tonight.

Will you promise me you'll stay?

I swear to you on the life of my mother.

Tonight.

I'll show you a few things I know you like.

Until tonight.

Hasn't anyone seen Raphaél?

Well?

Don't worry, your precious Raphaél will turn up.

Laura, I don't like your insinuations.

I would simply like everyone to eat together.

Yes, it would be more fun.

Begin serving, Madeleine.

Yes, ma'am, before it all gets too cold.

Darling, would you mind having a look in his room?

Mom, I'm sure he'll be here any minute.

Shall I serve you, or are you going to change your mind again?

Well, go on, say something.

All right. If nobody else will go, then I will.

I don't know what's going on between those two.

I mean, he's just Alexis' friend.

Laura, you don't understand anything.

Come on. Mom's too old for that stuff.

Oh, there he is. Oh, he sure is handsome.

Raphaél, Mom's looking for you.

You're late for dinner.

Oh, Raphaél, there you are.

I thought you'd forgotten about dinner.

And please apologize to Madeleine for me.

Well, then. Let's begin.

Hurt yourself?

Have you become a carpenter?

You're too observant, William Tell.

Baudelaire, Camus, "The Stranger".

Jean-Paul Sartre's "No Exit" and Verlaine.

You think those guys can teach you what life is all about?

Huh?

Is this your essential reading?

I think right now I'd be a lot better off with someone like Freud.

What do you think?

He might know why I'm feeling what I'm feeling right now.

Just like your mother's.

How'd you know? Have you seen them?

- Well, suppose I have. Would you care? - Yes.

Don't be so jealous.

Yours are young and pretty.

Stop, Raphaél!

I don't like the way my mother fawns over you.

She certainly is after you.

I know my mother.

She loves men.

She devours them.

And she's had plenty.

She thinks I don't know about her affairs.

Mother is capable of anything.

She has no shame.

She doesn't even hide her feelings.

Like with you, for example.

So what? She's honest with herself.

I see you don't have a high opinion of your mother.

That's very true.

But if it's her you want, go ahead.

I'm not stopping you.

You act as if it's all a game.

Raphaél?

I can't figure you out.

I'm all mixed up.

There's nothing to figure out.

It's very easy to understand.

I don't want anyone to know about you and me.

You mean, you want me to talk about myself.

I don't know anything about you.

Sometimes I feel you're incapable of loving anyone.

You know me well enough by now to know what I love and who I love.

First of all, this is my favorite room.

Secondly, it's too late to tell you my secret.

Your secret? Why? Are you afraid?

No. I'd just rather keep it to myself right now.

I prefer girls my own age.

Good.

I want you to do something else.

- What do you say, Priscilla? - Turn off the light.

No, no, I want to watch you.

I want it to last forever.

It tastes very salty.

Oh, I'm sorry to interrupt.

l... I just came in to get a book. I couldn't sleep.

Well, try counting sheep.

See you, beautiful.

Thanks for the book.

Two seconds.

Go on! Back up. Go!

Keep going.

More, more, more.

- Stop! Let's go. - That's it.

Can I ask you a question?

Ask away.

The day of your accident.

Were you alone in the car with your mother?

What's the difference?

Just curious.

I bet there was someone else.

Who, for example?

I don't know, one of Audrey's lovers, maybe.

Raphaél.

What are you trying to get me to say?

I think I know just what happened.

She ought to be punished.

Awake already?

You went to sleep so late. I thought you'd be out cold.

It wasn't that late.

You're kidding.

I heard noise in the house at two in the morning.

Hey, I saw Madeleine leaving this morning.

It's not her day off.

It was your mother's idea.

Really?

Mom, do you know who took my stereo speakers?

Well, look who's playing the servant.

I gave Madeleine the day off.

Black really suits you, Mother.

Priscilla, enough of that.

Oh, Raphaél.

I was wondering if you could do me a favor.

- Do you like me in black? - Very much.

I have to do some shopping.

Would you mind giving me a hand at the supermarket?

Not at all. Whenever you're ready.

I think I'll come with you.

But why?

- Because I feel like it. - Because you feel like it?

Yes, that's what I said.

It's about time I got out.

I may stop at the library and take some books out.

I just think you'll be so bored waiting for us.

That's okay, I'll read one of my books.

You're just as stubborn as your dad is.

Actually, I think it's just the opposite.

I'm exactly like you. My father thinks so, too.

Has anybody seen my speakers?

Say, isn't that Betty's parents' car?

Yes it is.

Hello. How are you, Audrey?

Fine. Thanks, Christine.

- Oh, hello, Priscilla. - Hello.

How do you do, young man?

How is George these days?

He's just fine.

Busy as always, I imagine.

Oh, Alexis and Betty are fine.

They called from the Duvall's place.

I guess they're happy away from us.

But I'm sure you're like me and can't wait until they get back.

You haven't forgotten about Tuesday?

Oh, how could we possibly forget your silver wedding anniversary?

Oh, Philip and I wouldn't miss it for the world.

We'd better not block the road any longer, Christina.

Have a nice day. We'll see you both on Tuesday at five.

Bye now, Audrey. And my regards to George.

- Goodbye. - See you, goodbye.

Honestly, Raphaél. Turning the radio up. That's awful.

When shit smiles, it's still shit.

That's what I think. Any objections?

Mom! Watch out! What's the matter with you?

What are you doing, Mom?

Mom! Mom! Be careful.

What's the matter with you? You're driving like a maniac.

Oh, no! No! No, stop that, you bastard!

Stop! Both of you, stop it now!

No, no!

No, no!

No, stop that! Stop! You bastard!

No, no, no!

Oh, no! Stop it!

Stop! You monster! No, no, no!

She's in shock, but she'll get over it.

She'll be as good as new in a couple of days.

A little moral support would help.

I'll see you on Tuesday for your anniversary party.

And I'll have a look at her then.

- Are you okay, Audrey? - I'm fine, thanks.

Give me a call if there's any problem.

Thanks for coming, Vincent. See you on Tuesday.

Bye, Audrey.

Doctor Forrester. Doctor.

What do I have to do if I want to go on the pill?

You want to go on the pill, Laura?

That's right.

Why don't we talk about it on Tuesday.

It's a long way off.

Have patience and we'll keep it a secret between you and me.

Oh. Thanks, doctor. See you on Tuesday.

It's a good idea to go to bed early.

And I don't want to see you out in the hall.

Sleep well, darling.

You too, Mom.

You're very sweet.

Good night.

Good night, Mommy.

Raphaél.

Hello?

Ah.

Alexis.

I'm fine. How are you?

Oh, don't worry about it.

Everything's just fine.

You were right to leave.

Raphaél is still here.

We're very glad to have him.

I hardly see him during the day.

He's very discreet.

You needn't worry, Alexis.

He spends a great deal of time with Priscilla.

Darling, I said don't worry.

How are you two doing?

Well, then stay if you want to.

Your father's fine.

No, he's out of town now.

Oh, and Betty's parents are definitely coming on Tuesday.

I'll tell them.

You sure you don't need anything?

Have a great time. Bye now.

Ah, you're here.

Tonight I think you're ready for a much more serious game.

You're gorgeous.

Ah! I'm bewitched.

I'll do whatever you want.

And I'll be whatever you make me.

I love you.

Oh. Take me. I love you.

I've never felt like this before.

Undress me.

Oh. You really went to town for me?

Yeah.

- You like it? - I love it. You look like a whore.

That's what turns you on.

Yeah. Well, it could even be better. Like this.

Go on.

Do whatever you want.

Climb up there.

- Raphaél, what are you doing? - Go on, get up there.

You heard. Come on.

Get your ass up there.

But... Raphaél.

Get your ass in the saddle. That's beautiful.

Yes.

What do I do now?

Nothing.

A little patience.

Raphaél don't, that's dangerous.

I don't like this game.

Raphaél.

Don't move!

Excuse me, Jericho!

Oh, you're hurting me!

It's only a game. Don't worry.

No. B--b--but you're crazy.

One second, I'm almost done.

It's a fun game, you'll see.

I don't want to play. Untie me.

Aww, you don't want to play with me?

- No, Raphaél. - Don't worry. Trust me.

Oh, no.

- There you go. You're gonna love this. - Aw.

- Lucky girl. - Stop! I'm afraid.

Jericho might go wild.

Raphaél, please. It's not funny.

No! Raphaél, no!

Go on, Jericho.

It suits you.

Bing.

Bastard.

What's the matter with you?

You're a bastard. Why did you come to this house?

It's not just because of Alexis.

I saw what you did in the attic and the way you treated my mother.

Tell me what you're doing here.

And where did you get this photograph?

You don't even know who she is.

Do you know her? Huh?

No, of course I don't.

I wasn't even born then.

But I know who she was. She was our maid long before Madeleine.

Now tell me why you've been going through my things.

Well, mademoiselle?

Who are you all made up for tonight?

Huh?

You're embarrassed.

Your makeup will run if you cry.

You never so much as look at me.

The only one you look at is Mom.

That's because you're in love with her.

You're a lot prettier, though.

I want to see all of you.

Take this off.

Take your hands away.

I want to see your breasts.

I've never shown anyone.

Show me.

- Okay? - Okay.

You know, you have very pretty breasts.

They're too small.

Give me your hand.

I want you to give yourself pleasure.

I don't know how.

Explore yourself with your finger.

Yeah. Lie down.

Go on.

Feel good?

Oh, yeah. It's heavenly.

Now don't stop, all right?

Just keep going, Laura.

Stay there and keep it up.

Good. Now we're going to play a little game.

Good.

Come on, come on.

You like it, huh?

Keep moving. That's good.

Oh, that's perfect. Keep it up.

Great.

Now get on your knees.

Go on.

Keep going. Look at me.

Perfect.

Now you're talking.

That's imagination.

Hold it!

Look at me again. Lower your panties, go on.

And then put your hand on your head.

Look at me.

Touch yourself.

That's it. That's good.

Perfect.

I want you to spread.

Yeah. You're beautiful.

Good.

Lie down.

Spread your legs and raise them up.

That's it. That's great.

A nice teasing smile.

Good.

Hold this.

We'll take a family portrait.

I'm ready.

Smile.

Daddy, I know what I'd like for my birthday.

I want one of those cameras where you see the photo right after you take it. Okay?

But I got you a nice camera a couple of years ago for your birthday,

and I don't think you used it more than once or twice.

You got bored with it, didn't you?

Would you please watch what you're doing?

Oh, is Priscilla better?

Yes. She ate a little bit of breakfast, and then she went to bed again.

- She's upstairs reading. She'll be fine. - Good.

But Doctor Forrester wants to see her again anyway.

I see. I'm glad.

Daddy, my stereo speakers have disappeared.

I can't find them anywhere.

They must be in the house. It's impossible to have just lost them.

Get rid of your chewing gum, please.

Oh, he gets so uptight about everything.

Oh, I saw Mrs. Andrews yesterday,

and I told her that I'd like very much for her to be at the party.

Well, wonderful. That's marvelous, yeah.

Uh, when is this party?

I see how interested you are in what I say.

It's on the 12th.

Raphaél.

I didn't know you played the piano.

How about a drink? Whiskey? Cognac? Armagnac?

Whatever you like, we've got it.

I don't drink.

You are very wise.

I guess I'm too weak.

I like a good drink. And so, if you don't mind.

I guess it hasn't done all that much damage.

Still, I envy you, Raphaél.

Say, what about our plan to go jogging, remember?

Why don't we go now?

You can be my personal coach.

Okay, George, sure.

I've got to go and change.

- I'll see you in a couple of minutes. - Wonderful.

Take your time, Raphaél. I'll wait for you.

Since I know, that when we're jogging,

you'll be the one who will have to wait for me.

I doubt it.

Thanks to you, my vacation is finally beginning.

I'm sure you'll be able to follow.

Enough flattery. I'll follow you with my eyes.

But that's about all.

How can you be so clumsy, Audrey?

I spoke to Alexis on the phone,

and he said that Raphaél was leaving tonight.

Is that true?

Are you listening, Audrey? Is it true?

No, that isn't what he said.

You liar!

I can't have another.

Yes you can. Go on, go on.

Good. Swallow it now.

Anyway, I'd be very pleased if the boy stayed for the month.

He's a charming young man.

Yes, he's very charming.

Oh! That's enough.

I couldn't...

For a young man he's very mature.

Frank...

- ...Sincere. - It's good, huh?

No, I can't.

I'm very glad he isn't leaving tonight.

He doesn't bother me at all.

What about you, dear?

You're right, George. I wouldn't think of sending him away.

Well, then. That settles it.

You like honey?

Yeah.

Yes.

Oh, yes.

Yes.

Darling?

I want this party to be a rousing success.

Don't worry, it will be.

Say, where's Madeleine?

Oh, it's Sunday, George.

Since when does she have Sundays off?

Oh, I guess Madeleine is no worse than the others we've had.

I wish we had Paula around here.

She was excellent.

Sundays didn't exist for her.

She was a worker. Took her job seriously.

They don't make them like her nowadays, not like Paula.

What are you doing, dear?

Are you there?

Yes, darling. She was an excellent maid.

No, really. Paula was the best.

That's why it's a damn shame she got pregnant on us.

But sometimes I'm sorry we let her go like that.

Oh, you're crazy.

I can't understand why you gave Madeleine this Sunday off, darling.

With 20 guests coming on Tuesday.

After all, our silver wedding anniversary.

Doesn't come around every year, you know.

And don't forget that the President of the Chamber of Commerce is coming.

Are you listening at all?

Oh, yes, yes. I'm listening, George!

Why don't you ever answer?

Oh, I forgot to tell you. I stopped by the bakery.

- I love it! - Ordered the anniversary cake.

He suggested a bride and groom centerpiece.

You know, like a wedding cake.

With lots of meringue and whipped cream.

Oh, I'm like a bitch in heat.

Don't stop. Oh.

Tell me. I'm thinking of trying for a government award.

You know, the medals they distribute every year.

I think you deserve to get a medal.

I don't think you care one way or the other.

But how can you say that, darling?

We would all be very proud.

Oh, it'll make Andrews jealous.

I think he was born jealous.

- Let's make love, Raphaél. - No.

We'll see.

You haven't forgotten who gives the orders?

Wait in the attic for me.

Off you go.

I decided to play games.

Audrey, keep up the good work.

Go on, go on.

I don't want to force myself.

I wish I were young again.

It's tough keeping up with you, but I did all right.

You run with a vengeance.

That's my nature.

Well, you've really motivated me to train harder and longer.

I'd love to swim a little, wouldn't you?

Why not?

Unfortunately, I don't have a bathing suit.

Oh, I've got dozens of bathing suits back at the house.

You can have one.

I even have a few I wore when I was your age.

Shall we go?

I'll see you on the way.

Try and catch me.

Hup!

Faster! Faster!

What's this doing here?

That's women for you. Look at that.

I hope you're not too shocked by it.

No, no.

Women like to leave little reminders of themselves around.

I'm sure you understand these things, Raphaél.

Now, let's have a look at these.

Where the hell did I put them?

I've never seen such a mess in my life.

Ah, here they are.

There certainly are enough of them here.

Take your pick.

This one's too small.

This one, maybe.

What a wonderful idea to go for a swim.

I think very highly of you, Raphaél.

You're intelligent and handsome too.

You are very good company.

Thank you.

Can I try this one on?

Sure you can. Help yourself.

Would you like me to wait out there?

No, that's silly.

Yes. Well, I guess you're right.

After all, we are among men here.

I might as well change into a dry shirt.

I think this one fits the best.

You like it?

Yes, I like that one.

Are you all right?

Who... who me?

I'm just fine.

Are we thinking of the same thing, George?

Huh?

Can you dig it, Audrey?

Tough, huh?

Like what you did to her.

In the name of respectability.

I thought you'd be sleeping after your night with George.

I was waiting for you.

Did you have a good ride?

It was okay.

Did you feel the need for some pure air this morning?

Didn't you like watching?

I thought it would turn you on to see me with him.

I've had it.

I'm ready to do anything for you.

Anything, and still you're not satisfied.

What more do you want?

How could you do such a thing and then ask if I liked watching?

Do you have no respect?

What did you say?

What should I show respect for?

For this life you lead.

Just what the hell do you take me for?

I'm not stupid.

Respect? Huh!

I respect the way you fuck.

What else have you got going?

You want respect for being a loving wife and mother?

We both know that's hypocrisy.

Shit.

Everyone knows it's a bunch of shit.

Respect is earned, and you haven't earned it.

You can't say I've ever disobeyed you, not once.

Ask anything you want of me, it makes no difference.

Because to give you pleasure, I'm ready to do anything.

The only thing I can't take, Raphaél, is having to share you.

I suppose I'm just admitting to you that I'm in love.

Take this.

All of them?

Sure.

You've just been married?

Where is the bridegroom?

The hour of my birth was the hour of her death.

I could have killed you.

You'll never see the end of it.

- Hello, Francoise. - Ah, Audrey.

So nice of you to come.

Hello.

Audrey, darling, you look wonderful.

It's a great party, really. Congratulations.

Darling, how are you?

Hello.

I just hope there's enough champagne.

There's plenty.

And be careful with the glasses.

If you break any, it'll come out of your salary.

Yes, sir.

Don't worry. The first 25 years are the most difficult.

You look wonderful.

Priscilla, don't forget you've just been ill, take it easy.

- I'll go and rest a little. - So very lucky.

If the doctor comes, send him upstairs.

All right.

It's marvelous!

25 years. A silver wedding anniversary.

What a wonderful, happy occasion.

- And you, George? - Audrey takes good care of you.

What an ideal...

I think it's time we started to open the presents.

- Come on. - Okay.

Well, my friends, I know this is the moment I've been looking forward to all day.

Opening all of our presents.

Why, isn't that thoughtful?

It's a gift from Raphaél.

He remembered.

Happy anniversary, Father.

That's right, Henry. Can you dig it?

Tough.

And Paula. Remember her?

What you did to her was tough too.

25 years ago, in the in the name of respectability.

You kicked her out like a dog.

With her little bastard who was born a few weeks later.

The hour of my birth was the hour of her death.

I came here to avenge her.

I could have killed you.

Instead, I decided to play games.

Games that would show you up for what you really are.

People who wallow in their own filth.

You're incorrigible.

And you'll never see the end of it.

As for me, I'll always be the little bastard baby who killed his mother.

Still in all, I enjoyed our games.

Audrey, keep up the good work.

You're on a one-way road to hell.

As for you, George, you'll get your award.

The cuckold medal.

No one can take that away from you.

Leave Laura to her fantasies and stop manipulating Priscilla.

She walks perfectly well in her mind.

I've done my job.

The job you inspired me to do.

I hope I've set a fire under your skin

that'll burn till the day you die.

End of game and goodbye.

Hypocritical clowns.
