PLEASE PLEASE ME

What time is it?

10 AM, darling.

Wake me in an hour.

Please...

ln one hour.

OnIy 30% of men know this zone, yet it's the most irresistible.

Make less noise, please!

Are you waking up?

- Wait... - Don't you want to?

l can't do a thing till l've had coffee.

Any coffee let?

Have you looked?

We're out.

l put it on the list.

Never mind. l'll go to the café.

Thanks.

Not drinking it?

lt's too hot.

Want me to blow on it?

No, it's OK.

- l've nearly finished! - Finish later.

No, l've only got 3 pages left.

Please... Be nice.

- Finished? - Yes.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

l kiss you and nothing's happening.

l'm sorry. It's that story.

The ending is awful.

l wasn't expecting it.

l can't get it out of my head.

Oh, no, l've been waiting for ages.

You shouldn't have told me to wait.

l didn't know the book would put me in this state.

lt's Saturday. You were tired all week.

lt's not my fault if l'm overwhelmed.

Sorry, l'm sensitive enough to empathise with the characters' anguish.

l witnessed a tragedy.

A woman discovers

as she is dying that she was cheated on, her whole life.

And you expect me to be carefree!

Look, it's not true. It's a made-up story.

So? People are desperate in real life.

That's not what l meant.

But you're working tonight. Tomorrow, we're seeing your grandpa.

This is the only time for us.

And every night, you say you're a morning person.

For once, we have a free morning...

But it's not possible now.

l'm in the wrong frame of mind.

l won't give in to the dictatorship of your urges.

ls that how you see my loving urges?

Are they loving?

l should know, they're my urges.

lf you let them overcome you, you'd see.

l'm already overcome.

How can you overcome what's overcome?

What's wrong?

Novels have more effect on you than l do now.

l don't know what to do. l'm distraught.

- Wait a while. - l have!

- Since 7 AM. - 7!

Since Monday, in fact.

Your impatience oppresses me.

We're done for. We're caught in a vicious circle.

Why is that?

The wait will increase my desire and that will oppress you more.

- l see no way out. - Come here.

- What? - Come here.

May l?

My door or yours?

l guess it's mine.

Sorry to disturb you. l'm Grégoire Levieux.

l'm moving in.

Hello. Well, goodbye.

l apologise for the disturbance that my move

will cause.

- Phone. - Who is it?

- ''Private''. - Must be Jean-Paul. l'll call him back.

Well, there's no problem.

l'll be moving rather early.

- As it's Sunday... - No problem. Bye.

l'll put him on. It's not Jean-Paul.

Hello?

Yes... Hello.

lt's just that...

- l can't really talk now. - Not really!

But l'll... Iet you know.

He'll let you know!

Goodbye.

Who was it?

A woman who...

A woman!

She just wanted some info.

How do you know her, hon?

She's a woman l met... l came across...

l don't know... In an office, l think.

Do my questions bother you?

No, not at all.

You're not thinking about that girl l barely know?

Look, Jean-Jacques...

lt's better to tell me the truth now

than for me to find it out later.

Don't be melodramatic.

lf l tell you the truth, you won't want to hear it.

How so?

lf l told you, you'd distort it,

magnify it, make it more serious than it is.

lt's serious?

There! l knew it!

You're making a big thing of it, but it's insignificant.

By saying nothing, it remained insignificant.

All this mystery worries me.

l just want to protect you.

Tell me. Please tell me.

l'll consider it all insignificant.

- You won't. l know you. - l will, l swear.

- You swear? - Yes.

- Then, we can carry on? - Yes.

OK...

The other day, Jean-Paul and l

were leaving work

when we met an old friend of his.

We go for a coffee and then...

he tells us, since his divorce

he has a new girlfriend every week.

So, Jean-Paul asks him how he seduces a new girl every week.

He tells us he has perfected a technique.

Yes

a technique he discovered a few years ago,

quite by chance.

One day,

when he was traveling, moved by the discreet charm

of a woman sitting nearby,

but not knowing how to talk to her,

he decided to write her a note.

That day,

his hand wrote all by itself

and composed turns of phrase he didn't know he was capable of.

He came up with charming words

to describe the turmoil this woman stirred in him.

And as he was finishing the note,

he had a stroke of genius.

He suggested a sort of game.

He would stand between two cars on the train

and wait ten minutes.

Ten minutes, he wrote

waiting for maybe the most magical moment in his life.

lf she came, he promised not to try to restrain her.

He wouldn't ask her any questions.

He would mereIy savour this unique moment.

He now uses the same note for each encounter.

He showed us a copy.

He always has one on him just in case.

Then, he hurri'ed of on a date.

Jean-Paul was going his way, too.

l found myself on my own,

thinking about what l'd just heard.

And just then...

without meaning to,

despite myself, my gaze

landed on someone.

As I had doubts about this technique,

l wanted to check it.

ExperimentalIy.

Scientifically.

ObjectiveIy.

ln the note, I said l'd wait for her in the billiards room

intending to hide to see if she'd join me.

But in the end after due consideration

l thought it was ridiculous and l decided to leave.

l'm very sorry.

You said the billiards room.

Listen...

The thing is... Actually, l...

l'm in a hurry, but...

Here...

lt was her phone number.

Nothing else happened.

l resisted. You know, you should be proud of me.

lt wasnt my fault.

l didn't go to the billiards room.

lt was her initiative.

lt's not my fault, l was raped.

The surprise was too great for me to concentrate on my feelings.

l didn't appreciate it. l remained impassive.

You called her back.

No...

She has your number.

Yes, l did call her back

but only to be polite.

l kept her waiting for 4 days...

lt didn't seem right to leave her with no news.

Really? And what did you say?

Nothing.

She wanted to invite me...

to some party tonight.

Tonight - how convenient!

l'm working and you're free.

l didn't say l'd go.

Once we've finished what we started

l'll call her and end it.

OK now?

Don't you like my kisses anymore?

- They've changed. - No!

Yes, they have.

How can you want to kiss another without your kisses changing?

lt's like saying a drop of lemon didn't change water.

l'm sorry. When you kiss me, l sense her presence.

You taste different.

Yes, but that tiny droplet has evaporated now.

Well, l can still taste it.

l think it's too unfair.

Yes, that girl was sublime. Yes, she was attracted to me.

What did l do? Who did l sacrifice myself for?

What is it?

lf it's a sacrifice to stay with me, there's no point staying together.

A week ago, we were talking about having a baby.

lt's so sad.

l was a fool to think we were happy.

But nothing happened! l didn't sleep with her.

lt makes no difference whether you did or not!

You mean if l had slept with her, it wouldn't be any worse?

No. On the contrary.

lt would've been over and done with.

Now it's ahead of us - that's worse.

What do you mean? Nothing will happen.

Because nothing will happen, you'll fantasise about her.

l fantasise about you, not her.

Why would l want you if l fantasised about her?

Because your subconscious is transferring onto me.

What do you know about that?

Well, l know a little.

l don't have to justify how l know things.

Ariane, my love!

You mustn't be sad.

You're lucky to be with a man as honest as me.

My friends would've kept quiet.

Jean-Jacques, l've thought it over.

l've given it a lot of thought. Are you listening?

lt's normal you're attracted to another woman.

ln fact, the opposite would be worrying.

lt happens to all couples who've been together for a while.

lt's like that in every civilization.

Why would it be different for us?

No, we have to face facts.

Man is by his very nature, unfaithful.

He can't help it. It's genetic.

To tell you the truth, l'd hoped it wasn't true.

Well, not true of you.

But l see it's a little girl's naive dream

that the prince has but one princess.

No, for our couple to survive, we must be...

modern.

That's why you must go sleep with that woman.

What?

That's right.

lt's better to anticipate things.

You wouldn't really be cheating on me, because l'd know beforehand.

But l don't want to.

Yes, you do, but you can't admit it to me.

l know it's hard to say. l don't blame you.

Do you realise what you're asking?

Yes, to turn us into a powerfully progressive couple.

l won't go and sleep with her just to please you.

Can't you see l'm making an effort?

You could make an effort too.

Sure.

But l won't go.

l have to go.

See you tomorrow, my love.

l... won't go.

l won't go.

Actually, l was just about to call you back.

l've thought it over...

The thing is...

Well, l can't stay very long.

Cross the street, please.

Hello.

Which floor do you wish to go to?

4.

Hello.

Which floor do you wish to go to?

4.

Please repeat. I didn't understand your answer.

4th floor.

Please repeat. I didn't understand your answer.

l wish to go to the 4th floor.

Please...

Excuse me. l'm looking for Elizabeth's apartment.

l don't know her last name.

Jean-Jacques?

Yes.

Can l see some ID, please?

Yes.

l'll return it when you leave.

Can you spread your arms and legs?

Can l see what's in your pocket?

Can you hold the bottle of wine?

Can you tell me what this is?

An invention of mine.

l can show you if you like.

Rub it with your finger. Right here.

lt stays on.

Now watch.

Not a trace on my face...

or on the cloth.

That's black.

lt doesn't work as well as the blue one.

Very good.

- You may go in. - Thanks.

Have a good evening, sir.

Good evening.

- Will you follow me? - Yes.

- Can l take those of you? - Uh, yes.

- Would you like a drink, sir? - No, thanks.

Hello.

Do you like it?

One of David Finder's latest creations. l just bought it.

l'm so glad you're here.

l hoped we'd be alone before the guests come,

but l've lost Lazare, my snake.

He strays sometimes, but he's been away since yesterday.

l have to see my father. He'll help me find him.

Will you come with me?

He really wants to meet you.

- Really? - Yes. Follow me.

l was so afraid you wouldn't come.

l organised this party just to have an excuse to call you.

lsn't that ridiculous?

Yes.

l mean no!

l nearly forgot!

- l have a gift for you. - For me?

Well, thanks.

- l brought wine. - Thanks.

lt's a Coteaux de Pierre-Vert.

l see.

When l saw it in the store l thought of you.

lt's wonderful.

lt's too much.

You do smoke, l hope.

No, but l was thinking of starting.

Great.

Let's go.

Where are we going?

To my father's. This is a shortcut.

Dad...

l came with Jean-Jacques.

l'm delighted to meet you.

l've heard a lot about you.

Good evening, sir.

Call me Antoine.

Any friend of Elizabeth's is a friend of mine.

l hope l'll get to know you better.

l'm having a party tonight. Come over.

l'm afraid l can't.

l have a dinner with the Japanese PM, his ambassador...

You're not a journalist?

No, not at all.

l can speak freely.

l'm furious. They're canceling a major agreement.

What do you work in?

l'm... an inventor.

Do you work for a group?

l'm actually independent.

Are you specialised in a particular field?

No.

lf you have a few seconds...

l can show you something l made myself.

Please do. l adore inventions.

They're the future of the nation.

Care to rub it?

See? It doesn't come of.

Now watch.

There!

All gone!

lt didn't work?

lt's 'cause l used the black one.

lt doesn't work as well as the blue one.

There. And now...

l rub it and rub it...

and rub it and rub it...

There! Not a trace of it let!

Either on my face or the cloth.

Bravo. Congratulations.

Have you thought of any applications?

l'm more specialised in inventions than applications.

l see. Well, if l have an idea, l'll call you.

- Thanks. - Net month

l'm representing French innovation in India. Like to come?

Well, l'd love to.

l have to ask...

You could come, too.

Yes, great!

Let's see to Lazare.

- Let's go see the gardener. - OK.

Be right back. Wait here.

OK.

See you soon, Jean-Jacques.

See you soon, sir.

Good evening. l'm Aki Yamagata, the Japanese Ambassador in Paris

and this is our Secretary of State, Koyt Ishida.

My name is Jean-Jacques Dupuis.

l'm a friend of the President's daughter.

He says he is

very honored to meet you.

(PICTURE) Well...

tell him l'm delighted to meet him, too.

And tell him

l don't know your country, but l'd love to visit it.

He would be very happy to invite you.

Thank you.

l can't say when yet, but...

l'd be delighted.

He wants to know if you need any help.

Help?

We can see in the mirror you have a little problem.

lt's just that l got my finger caught in the vase.

l don't know how l did it. l put my finger in it and...

Give me the vase. l'll pull.

Good evening, Mr President. We're so embarrassed.

lt was a gift from Alexander to Napoleon

when they signed the Treaty of Tilsit in 1807.

We don't know how we can make it up to you.

Don't worry, we are here to talk.

l'll show the children out then l'm all yours.

lt's a copy. The original is in the Louvre.

Of you go.

What did you think of my father?

Very pleasant.

l didn't think he'd be so pleasant.

Not that l didn't think he'd be nice.

On the contrary.

He really liked you.

- Really? - Oh, yes.

He did suggest you joining him on a trip.

You'll see, it's fascinating.

l can't wait to meet your parents.

We're very late. The guests must've arrived.

Your moustache.

Tania, Director of Niedermayer's Merchant Bank in Spain.

Pleased to meet you.

FranÁois, Vice-President of Adexo.

Gabriel, manager at Peugeot Sport.

Jean-Jacques - Gabriel.

Franck!

Franck - Jean-Jacques.

l've got all your albums.

l'm a huge fan.

Claudia!

l'm sorry.

Sorry to disturb you. l...

lt's just that l know someone who really likes you...

lf l could have your autograph, that'd be...

OK, pal, no problem. l'll do it later.

Thank you so much.

Sorry l disturbed you. Thank you.

Excuse me.

Do you know where l can find the...

the bathroom?

Yes, cross the living room, right-hand door,

then second let, then third right.

Do you want me to go with you?

No, thanks. l'll manage.

This is Thomas. l set up my gallery with him.

Good evening.

Are you alright?

l'll be right back.

OK.

Feel alright?

You're very pale.

Want to sit down?

Should l call your mum?

Hello. this is Jean-Jacques.

l'm busy right now. Please leave a message.

Yes, Jean-Jacques, it's me.

l just wanted to talk to you.

Well, call me back.

Sir... Would you like one?

No, thanks.

Hey, pal, have you got a light?

No.

Elizabeth said you did.

Oh, yes.

Cigarette?

No, thanks.

Are you OK there?

Yes. It's just that

l want curtains at homes. l'm seeing how they're made.

Do you want that autograph now? Come on.

No, as l've seen you in real life,

that's enough.

OK, no problem.

That's when l realised l had a problem with alcohol.

l decided to consult a specialist.

Just pretend l'm not here.

l'm not listening.

Everything alright?

l'm not looking ater you. You know no-one.

Don't worry about me.

l'm observing people. l love it.

They're going soon. l told them l'm tired.

- You're tired? - Not at all.

lt's to be with you more quickly.

Be right with you.

Won't you come with me?

No, thanks, l'm fine here.

Be right back.

Thanks. Come over very soon.

Of course. l'll show you out.

Goodbye.

How silly l was, organizing this party.

l should've told you the truth. l so wanted to be alone with you.

l was afraid you'd leave.

l thought you were bored.

Oh, no.

l'm glad you stayed.

Are you OK?

Yes.

Would you massage my skull?

Well, if you like.

Your hands are extraordinary!

l adore it!

You have a great technique, Jean-Jacques.

Oh, no, l don't.

Do you like being massaged?

l don't really know.

l don't often get the opportunity.

Come, l'll massage you.

- Now? - Yes.

ln my room. Come on.

What if, before the massage,

we relaxed a bit?

What's with the cushion?

lt's just that...

You really are surprising!

Could you undo my dress?

- OK? - Just seeing how it works.

There's a little clip.

l'm nearly there.

l'm not sure l can...

Ah, there we are!

Coming.

Coming, Jean-Jacques?

Sorry. l have a problem with my zipper.

l won't be a second.

Can l see?

lt's OK, l'll manage.

Show me.

Strange. Looks like there's fabric stuck in it.

How did you do that?

l don't know. l don't understand it.

Sit down.

Give me your legs.

l'll be right back.

Will you let Aneth take a look?

Don't be childish.

May l?

l think l can unpick it.

This will relax you.

l'll see to your back.

lt's all knotted up.

Thank you, Aneth.

Who's that?

My fiancé.

l mean my ex-fiancé.

One day we're together, next we're through.

But it's all over now.

We broke up for good a week ago.

Are you OK? l mean, it wasn't too hard?

Oh, no. On the contrary.

lt's a liberation.

lt's weird though. We'd been together for 2 years.

lt was the longest l'd been with someone.

But it was just too complicated.

He's adorable, very gentle, but...

he's also pathologically jealous.

He's so impulsive. He can fight over the slightest thing.

How did he accept the break-up?

He hasn't accepted it!

He thinks we're still together.

You can imagine what he's like.

That's why meeting you felt like a breath of fresh air.

You're so different.

The more l look at you...

the more l like looking at you.

The deeper l look into your eyes,

the more mysterious you seem.

Do you know who wrote that?

l did!

This afternoon, while thinking of you.

Don't you believe me?

Oh, l do.

See? l'm not lying.

l didn't have time to write a letter as good as yours.

Do you like it?

Yes, very much.

lt's yours, then.

Thank you.

l never received anything like this.

l'll tell you something.

l dreamed of meeting someone like you.

l always knew l'd meet the man of my dreams like that.

There's one thing l didn't like.

Oh, really? What?

You say, we'll never meet again

to make our time together even more unique.

That's stupid.

lf it's unique, why not enjoy it for a lifetime?

Well, actually, it's because...

Don't try to justify yourself.

l don't blame you.

Just kiss me.

l'll be right back. l'll be quick.

l'm sorry.

Jean-Jacques!

Come in.

l was bringing Lazare back to Elizabeth.

ls she in her room?

lt's OK, l'll take him back to her.

- She's asleep. - Asleep?

- Yes. - No!

Take a chair.

Sit down.

l'm very glad. She was an insomniac before she met you.

Good.

Well, now there's just us two men,

you must promise me something.

She told me about her feelings for you.

So, you're to protect her now.

l entrust her to you.

You must promise to take care of her.

OK.

Say...

''l promise to take care of her.''

l promise to take care of her.

- Thank you. - Bye, sir.

See you soon. Call me Antoine.

She's breathing. Her heart's beating.

Let's put her on the bed.

Who's that?

l'll go.

Mr Rudolf is here.

l didn't let him in like Miss said

but he won't leave.

So, l wanted to ask what l should do.

She's asleep.

She doesn't want him to come in.

What did she say?

She didn't say anything. She's asleep.

Asleep! She's an insomniac! Don't mess with me!

Look, sir, it's nothing to do with me.

l'm not to let you in.

l'm following orders.

Sure you're telling the truth?

You're not very nice to me.

- Is there someone with her? - No.

- There is! Let me in! - l can't let you in, sir.

l just can't.

lf that's how it's to be...

Sir, there's closed-circuit TV...

lf they see me let you in, l've had it.

You see?

- Don't worry, l won't hurt you. - Thanks.

Here's the bouquet. l might damage it as l fall.

Are you ready?

Ready.

ls this him?

Your things, quick!

Your shoes.

'Evening, Aneth.

Good evening, sir.

Who are you?

He came to help out.

He's Romanian. He can't say much.

Miss had a party, so he was helping me.

l'm sorry, sir.

lt won't happen again.

We got carried away. Miss is asleep.

Asleep?

Yes, sir.

- Really? - l assure you, sir.

Sure there's no-one?

No, sir.

Not that l know of.

Rudolf...

What are you doing here?

You brought Lazare back!

Where did you find him?

He was at my place... on the balcony.

l am sorry.

Do you want a drink?

No, it's OK, thanks.

Do you want a lit home?

That's kind of you, but it's not nearby.

Want me to change stations?

lt's OK.

lt's green.

Sorry.

Thank you.

Don't mention it.

lf you like...

Yes?

l can repair your trousers now.

l have spare zippers. It'll take me 5 minutes.

Don't bother, it's OK.

Can you go home like that?

She'll ask you questions.

Sit down.

Do you collect them?

lt's Grégoire, not me.

Him.

lf your boyfriend is asleep, l don't want to wake him up.

He's not my boyfriend - he's my roommate.

l often get home late. Don't worry, he's sound asleep.

lt's all l have.

Can l have your trousers?

l'll be right back.

Hello.

Goodbye.

Hello!

Goodbye!

There!

Look, it works fine.

lt's... great.

l'll just...

There.

Thank you.

l'm sorry about your room mates. l think l woke them.

No, l'm sorry.

My sisters are very nosy. They wanted to see you.

Oh?

Goodbye.

Hello. Is Aneth there, please?

She's in the shower.

l've lost my car keys.

l think they fell out of my trousers.

- Yes, l know. - Really?

These are the ones, right?

Wait. We're so pleased you're here. It'd be a pity to go now.

(PICTURE) Wait...

Sorry to bother you, but...

l let my keys here.

Maybe they fell out of your trousers when you took them of.

No, they're not there.

They're not here, either.

Where can they be?

They must be here somewhere.

Maybe you lost them elsewhere.

l definitely lost them here.

l'm convinced they're in the bedroom.

But l looked. They're not.

Think. What did you do?

You checked your pockets?

Several times. l wouldn't have disturbed you otherwise. Look.

l'm sorry.

l don't understand it.

You must think l did it on purpose.

lt doesn't matter.

You mean...

if l had done it on purpose...

you wouldn't mind?

And let's imagine that

purely by chance...

if...

l took your hand in mine...

would you be angry?

And if...

still purely by chance...

l...

l kissed you...

would you be annoyed?

l don't understand. It's only 3 AM.

- l know him. - Grégoire?

He's my new neighbour.

He lives next door to you. Isn't that incredible?

He mustn't see me.

l don't live alone. If he sees me...

Hey, Grégoire. Why are you up so early?

l have to take my brother his car back by 9 AM.

They're of to the country.

- His things are outside the door. - What'll l do?

- You can go out the window. - What?

lt's OK, we're on the second floor.

l did it once when l was locked in.

There's no window.

There is in the living room.

lf we do as we said l'm sure it'll work.

- There's no other way out? - No.

Are you ready?

OK, goodbye.

Grégoire, l'll help.

No, it's OK, really.

l'm sure you've let some stuff in your room.

- This book, say? - That can stay.

- This too. - No...

Yes, l remember...

What about this key? Are you keeping it?

l don't know. But l need to take this.

What about this?

Wasn't this my book?

Help!

Please help! l'm gonna die!

- What were you doing? - l was at friends'.

And you leave like that? We'll ask your friends.

Please don't.

- What's this? - A gift.

A gift?

lt's a Dupont. Champagne series. It's worth nearly 10 grand.

Who gave it to you?

- You won't believe me. - Try me!

l'm broad-minded.

l don't know what to say...

We're so sorry.

You're free to go.

Wait!

We just received this message.

We do apologise.

Goodnight.

''We'll never meet again

to make our time together even more unique.

Adieu.''

Are you OK?

l'm OK. And you?

You got of early? Weren't you on duty till 10 AM?

Yes, but l didn't work in the end.

Why's that?

l tried to call you, but you didn't answer.

That's because...

my phone doesn't work anymore.

- Nothing serious? - No.

Nothing serious.

Let's walk.

l had a strange day today.

A really strange day.

All afternoon, l thought about what happened this morning.

l thought maybe we'd gone a bit too far.

l so wanted to be with you,

l found someone to replace me.

So, I called you, but l got your message.

As you d'dn't call me back,

and to get my mind of it alI,

l called Marianne.

She met me in a very nice café near her place.

We talked about her love life.

l di'dn't want to talk about us.

Then, her phone rang.

lt was her new lover a married man.

He'd managed to get away.

She apologised and she went to see him.

And when she got up to go,

the waiter brought the two mojitos we'd ordered before her phone rang.

So, l stayed in the café, just me and my mojitos.

l was so sad you di'dn't call me back.

l was about to go home, but the waiter brought me something.

l thought it was the check.

But it was a note.

A note forme written by a man at another table.

What was he like physically?

Normal. Not particularly handsome.

Pretty small?

- A bit fat? - l guess.

- Tousled hair? - Yes, trendy.

- It's him. - He was charming.

Charming? It can't be him, then.

What did the note say?

More or less what you told me.

lt was very well written.

l'm sure it's him.

l wasn't fooled. l knew it was a number.

But it is very effective.

- Was it on you? - No.

But it could have had an effect on me.

But it didn't?

Are you answering your own questions or what?

Tell me more.

So, l finish reading the note.

He wants to meet me outside the café.

l see him get up and leave without looking at me.

l down my two mojitos

- and join him. - What?

- You join him? - Yes.

l wanted to give him a piece of my mind.

Know what? l did.

l said his note was impersonal.

Any girl could see herself in it.

lf girls sleep with him just because of his fine words,

it was pathetic.

l even said his behaviour revealed how misogynous he was.

l ended by saying all this revealed

a pathology that required treatment.

l'd have loved to see his face!

Well, then, l was... amazed.

Amazed?

l thought he'd be ashamed, embarrassed, or angry at me.

How was he?

Very calm.

He said l wasn't wrong and offered me a drink.

He offered you a drink?

After all you'd said?

l suppose you didn't accept.

He was so sweet, l couldn't refuse.

l was surprised to discover someone very different.

l mean it.

Someone who's very open to criticism.

He said it did him good at long last to meet someone different

he could talk to someone who looks at things constructiveIy.

lt was so good to talk.

He's an intelligent man, you know.

He saw where l was coming rom.

We didn't agree on everything, but we had fun.

He's so funny and has so many tales to tell.

After a while, the waite rtold us it was closing time.

Then, what did you do?

(PICTURE) Well...

we went outside.

We decided to share a taxi because his place was on the way.

And on a Saturday night, taxis are hard to find.

And it let us split the cost.

But we were in mid-discussion when the taxi reached his place.

He asked me...

to go up...

to continue our conversation and have another drink.

l thought it was silly to part like that.

So, l went up.

And?

And what?

What did you do?

The same thing you did.

The same thing l did?

Let's not talk about it anymore.

Let's go home.
