Andrea?

Hmm?

It was a bright, sunny afternoon.

Thomas and I had been happily married for five years.

The children were out with a maid.

We went out shopping for antiques for our new home.

Then something happened that brought back the memory of those strange,

and unhappy days.

Pretty isn't it?

Would you like to have it for our bedroom?

Tell me, what's the price of that mirror?

Look at him.

He knows how I feel.

He knows that I want him.

He knows I want to feel his body next to mine.

When he looks at me, his eyes undress me.

I shouldn't think of him so much.

It's crazy, but I can't get him out of my mind.

I must have him.

He must be away.

I can't spend another night not sleeping.

Just like my mother.

Did you call, miss?

My riding clothes, please.

Very well, miss.

Hurry up. I want to go riding now.

Oh, look, you haven't had your breakfast yet.

I'm not hungry.

You can clear it away.

Yoshi's been eating two breakfasts lately.

Your riding's getting better every day. That's what Yoshi says.

That's why he needs a lot of strength if he's to keep up with you.

You better not feed your Yoshi too well.

Or else he'll get too fat.

Oh, fat husbands are fine.

They're faithful, they say, in our hometown.

If I marry Yoshi, he can get fat for all I care. Main thing, he stays faithful

to me.

And what day is the wedding arranged for?

Your father thought we would marry the same day as you.

Then we would have a double wedding followed by a party that would go on for

days.

I'm afraid that you and Papa are in for a disappointment.

But I thought the announcement of your wedding was arranged for next week.

Shut up, will you?

You can marry your Yoshi anytime you want, but leave me out of it,

I'm sorry, Miss. I have to go now. I must help your father get dressed.

How is Papa?

I'm afraid there's no great change.

He's worried about you. He thinks you must be lonely here in the country

friends, with a father who's sick and nothing else but a whole lot of animals.

He's quite right there, dear Papa.

In Paris, at the university, it was a lot more fun.

Tell Papa I'll visit him when I get back.

Very well, Miss.

He can be faithful to her, all right.

But... I want him first.

She can have him back later.

When I'm through with him.

Go ahead and play and wait.

Just like I had to wait.

Go on playing.

Play.

I've changed roles, you and I, my friend.

When all the lights have gone out, I'll wait for you in the stables, he said.

He begged me like a hungry animal.

He can wait.

Wait for me until I'm ready to make love.

Maybe I've lost complete interest in you.

Mila, you?

What's the matter, Yoshi?

When I saw you weren't in your room, I got worried.

The mayor's going to fall, probably in the next couple of hours. That's why I'm

here. About two o 'clock, Michael is going to take over.

You can go back to bed now. It might sound strange.

I was worried about you.

But I'm all right now.

Good night.

Good night.

Andrea. I wasn't going to come.

Why was she here?

She's not to have you while I still want you.

You belong to me.

Will I see you again?

No.

You'd like that, wouldn't you?

But it can never be any better, so we'll stop now.

Tomorrow you can go back to your Mila.

You're free.

I can't understand why you refused your father's wish regarding the two of us.

After all, I've always considered the two of us to be engaged.

Or am I to understand that our beautiful relationship has ended?

Oh, we'd love to have you as one of the family.

Both Peter and I.

Isn't that right, sweetheart?

That's Andrea's private affair.

Now, let's keep out of it, darling.

You know that I'm very fond of you, Thomas.

But I think it's right to refuse a marriage if you can't stand any

and object to being tied to someone permanently.

Oh, I could never be a really loving wife.

I'd always feel a kind of stress, just like an overheated pressure cooker ready

to blow up any minute.

Don, you ought to be grateful to her. I'm really sorry you feel that way, but

can wait.

Maybe you'll think differently in a year about love, marriage, our being

together.

Andrea, be honest.

Of all the men you've met up to the present, was there ever one that

Every one of them mattered, even though you don't think so.

I think that love is just another form of madness, fulfillment of desires,

of mutual intoxication.

Pure and true love, as conceived by our civilized world, is, in my opinion, a

mating of spiritual and intellectual qualities.

Only primitive people mistake sex for love.

Then you married a primitive at heart, my dear.

It wasn't your intellectual qualities that first attracted me.

There were wild and passionate desires there.

And no amount of struggling could stop them. They got through you, too.

Well, love without sex is like water without whiskey.

There's no life to it.

I was trying to say that without those other values, our life is incomplete.

Our mind makes us better than animals. Without those qualities, love and sex

meaningless. Well, now, I think I'll say goodnight.

I'm going to bed.

Goodnight, sweetheart.

You know, Clarissa must consider me quite mad, don't you think?

Frankly, I find your wife's philosophy and attitude toward life a bit stuffy

old -fashioned.

You, on the other hand, know exactly what I'm talking about.

You understand my point of view. You understand that life is something that

to be lived.

That's why I find you so charming.

Uh -huh.

That sure makes everything clear. Now I know why the future husband provided by

your dad, I've had it.

You certainly have.

Both as a husband and a lover.

Never mind.

Maybe you're better off.

Hey, I never wanted Andrea just for an adventure or a fast date.

I wanted her to be my wife.

I know that you're difficult, a bit crazy.

I would have put up with all your moods just as long as you remained with me.

Never mind.

I guess I'll have to drown my sorrow in drink.

Hey, where's our Samaritan gone to?

Hey, I want another scotch.

Peter, didn't you say that you wanted to come to the studio to look at my

paintings?

Isn't that what you wanted?

Yes.

Come along, then.

And now I'd like you to have a drink with me.

No, thanks. I still have to clear up the dining room.

I'm not going to let you.

Now, my dear, you're going to keep me company.

I've got to be comforted.

Come on. Sit down.

Thanks. I told you. I've got a lot to do.

Say, what's the matter? Nothing but prudes around here. Come on. Sit down.

down.

Haven't you ever been in love?

Come on. Give me a kiss, will you?

No. Please let me go.

I go now, please, sir. No.

I want another scotch.

Here you are, sir. You can have the whole bottle to yourself.

If there's anything else you want, please ring.

Anything else I want?

Hey,

I might take you up on that later on in the evening, you know.

Is it the whiskey?

Or is it the many stairs?

Or is it you?

But I feel very warm.

Will you excuse me?

Mm -hmm.

Namaste.

A little crazy.

It's nice to be crazy once in a while.

Hey, what's that?

Quite interesting.

It's a man.

Oh, I see.

It's not what I know, I'm afraid.

And that's...

Have you ever painted a woman?

No.

I hate women.

What's that?

That is a family heirloom.

If you were a painter, would you paint men?

Suppose I wouldn't.

Come.

Drink with him.

The drink of love.

The way I love.

Andrea, tell me.

Are you capable of love?

What kind of love?

Love of art?

Of music?

Wine?

I want to experience every kind of love that's possible.

If you really want to know, and you doubt that I'm capable of it, I love

Well...

Hey, anyone in there?

Why the blazes is the little devil.

It's only me. It's Thomas.

I can't find... The washroom isn't in my bedroom, you

know. I didn't mean... I meant... Oh, never mind.

Where's Peter?

I have the vaguest idea.

Excuse me.

I've never ever met anybody quite like you.

I believe you.

Man awakened a feeling of content and discontent in me.

You were absolutely everything I wished for and desired a few minutes ago.

And what now?

You're indifferent to me, that it?

Peter, tell me.

Does that make me a bad girl?

This reminds me of something a famous writer once said.

She goes to bed with everyone she fancies.

That doesn't make her a bad girl.

A bad girl is one who lies, defames, and who's good to no one.

I'm sorry to have to disturb this very enlightening conversation.

I must say this is quite a sight.

I never thought anything like this could happen. Why, you cheap, man -eating

wildcat. I don't know what you're talking about.

Peter and I were just having a quiet conversation about modern art.

Yes, about the noble art of seducing men.

Well, you're quite wrong.

That there, a rather sorry figure at the moment, is mine.

My husband. Remember that.

Why, if I'm not mistaken, I had a similar experience in Paris once. Allow

for you, my dear. Now come along into your wife's bed, where you belong.

Actually, I ought to be really grateful to you, Andrea.

I'm sure Peter's now going to buy me the loveliest of mink coats.

Aren't you, darling?

Excuse me.

Good night.

Yes, sure he will.

You're a sweet little good -for -nothing darling.

You little idiot.

After they left, I was all alone again.

In that big house.

After two weeks, I couldn't stand it any longer.

I had to get out.

Get into town, see people, meet someone.

It didn't matter who.

Here, take a seat.

What's up, George? Stop shopping, will you?

We've got a lady among us.

Can't you see?

A vermilion.

Your vermilion.

A new girl just walked into Jeff's.

Just what you're looking for.

Better step on it. Somebody else could beat you to it.

That's my seat you're parking on, baby. Beat it.

What'll I owe you? Two fifty.

About 22.

Better mm -hmm Get going a quick job

and step on it

Hiya, doll. What's the hurry?

How about you and me having some fun together, huh?

I'll make it worth your while.

Come on, will you? No, I'm not interested. Let go of me, will you?

Stop it.

Let go of me or I'll call for help. Shut your mouth, baby, or I'll knock your

teeth in. None of that talk now.

Come on. Come on now.

My name is Felix Classen.

Thanks for helping me. That man must be drunk.

Well, you've been rather reckless.

You shouldn't walk around at night in this rough neighborhood.

I must have lost my way.

Come on.

We'd better get away from there right now.

We can't fool around with guys like him.

That bar next door is full of thugs.

Come on, hurry. Get in.

He's probably going to get some help now. If we stay here, we've had it.

Well, you want to spend the whole night here in the doorway?

Certainly not. I want to leave.

Oh, no, you don't.

Your bag.

What?

You talk too much.

At all?

You one of these girls that hold that on their man?

What do you take me for?

For a nice, sweet girl.

Ouch! Get in there.

Now take off your clothes.

What's going on?

You got cement in your ears?

Take off your clothes, I said.

This is sure a new way of going about it.

But I must admit, I find it interesting.

I said you talk too much.

Take out the rest.

And lie down.

Let's see how good you are.

Give me back my bag of money right away, do you hear?

Who do you think you are, you big ape?

I know your type You're an arrogant little dame

You need to be taught a lesson

when I get back.

I'm not through with you yet.

Oh.

Yeah, what is it?

Oh, it's you, George.

Thanks for the tip -off. Worked out fine.

I'm just going to find out.

Sure worked out fine.

What did I do?

Broke one of your teeth.

Well, you gotta be more careful.

Okay. Okay.

I'll buy you a new set of false teeth tomorrow.

Look, I said I'm sorry. We'll talk about it tomorrow.

I'm busy now.

Good night.

Hey, what's going on?

I said take them off.

Understand?

Thank you.

We're playing chess.

Who's that with you?

Can't you see?

It's my grandmother.

What do you got there? Is she a new one?

I threw the old one away.

What do you need a new one for?

I'll give you three guesses, baby.

You didn't work hard enough the last few weeks.

Get going.

I'm hungry.

All right, all right.

She's not much for talking.

A good cook, though.

You know, if she was half as good in bed as she is in the kitchen, I wouldn't

have to look for anyone to replace her.

Yeah.

You know what I'm talking about, don't you?

Hey.

Why do you do that to me? I don't deserve it.

Please, send her away, or I'll throw out myself.

Now, just a minute.

If you don't like it, you can quit.

Okay, I will.

Yeah, but don't forget to pay your bills.

How much is it today?

Hey.

What do you know?

You're pretty good.

That's for you.

It wouldn't be so bad for you, huh?

You'd be relieved of certain duties.

I've got to find out if she's fit for this kind of work.

Well, that's it.

How about it?

You'd better make up your mind.

No. It's either going to be her or me.

Hurry up with that food.

You know I'm in no mood to talk when I'm hungry.

Ah, turn that thing off, will you? The noise is driving me out of my mind.

Hey, come on in here in the kitchen.

I want you to meet my favorite girlfriend.

Step on it.

I never thought I'd miss Papa so much.

Ever since he died, I feel lost and abandoned.

I've never felt like this before.

Papa always used to say, man comes by himself and leaves by himself.

I don't want to remain by myself.

Andrea, tell me, are you capable of love?

Only primitive people mistake sex for love. Without spiritual and intellectual

values, our lives are incomplete.

Love and sex are meaningless.

Love and sex are meaningless.

Maybe you'll think differently in a year about marriage, love, our being

together.

see you again.

Andrea.

Andrea.

Andrea.

I wasn't going to come.

I'm ashamed.

I dropped my whip.

Andrea, are you capable of love?

Hey, I've never wanted you for an adventure, a fast date.

I wanted you for my wife.

I got my whip!

I got my whip!

I got my whip!

I've never met anyone quite like you.

He's mine.

Remember that.

He's mine.

Remember that.

He's mine.

Remember that.

She goes to bed with everyone she fancies.

That doesn't make her bad.

You want to spend the whole night here in the doorway?

Lie down.

Take it closer.

I want to find out how good you are.

Will I see you again?

Will I see you again?

Will I see you again?

Mr Wagner,

your lawyer is upstairs.

Good evening. I hope I'm not disturbing you, Miss Irfield.

Not at all.

Won't you sit down?

May I offer you something to drink, Mr. Wagner? A vermouth, whiskey?

I'll have a vermouth, thank you.

Thank you.

To your health, Miss Irfield.

Thanks.

Thank you for coming so soon.

Have you brought the papers?

Here are the proceeds obtained for the horses.

Five hundred and eighty thousand.

The price obtained for the mansion was, as per your instructions, forwarded to

your bank account.

May I give you the receipt from the bank?

And, uh...

Before I forget, would you be good enough to sign a receipt for the money?

May I?

How much do I owe, Mr. Wagner?

Our fee was retained from the proceeds of the two sales.

I believe that's what you wanted.

May I ask you what your plans are for the future?

You mean with all the money I have?

Travel.

Maybe I'll go to Paris.

Your doctor was of the opinion that it would be best for you to get a good

Go to a, let's say, sanatorium.

Rest your nerves.

Go on, why don't you stay at asylum?

Mrs. Mainwary's a good old doctor.

He's afraid I'll end up exactly the same way as my mother.

I'm not afraid.

But it's really not wise to stay here all by yourself.

I have to remain here until after the auction sale of the inventory.

The few last days in this house where I spent my childhood.

I wonder what will happen to me then.

you

Thank you.

Please be quiet. Don't be afraid.

Wait a minute.

Don't run away.

I'm not going to hurt you.

Please, wait and listen to me.

You must help me, please.

Please, you needn't be afraid. I'm not going to hurt you.

Wait.

Wait, please.

I need help. Don't you understand?

Please wait. Let me explain.

I

hope

you're not hurt.

Why have you been running away?

What's the matter? Are you crazy?

Why have you been running after me like that?

I thought you wanted to kill me.

Oh.

And I was afraid that you were going to give me away.

Come on, now.

We must help to get away from here.

They mustn't catch me, at least not before I settle an old debt of mine.

And they can have me again for all I care.

What have you done?

For myself, not much.

But for the benefit of some good friends of mine, too much.

Is there anything I can get for you?

Yes, please.

I'm in need of food and clothes.

I spent the night in some broken -down bomb shelter.

Nothing there, as you might imagine.

Come with me to my house.

You'll find all you want there.

No.

I prefer to wait in the fishing hut.

Please come with me.

Let's trust one another.

I'm alone there.

I'm afraid of coming with you to tell you the truth.

I trusted a woman once, and it was once too often.

Come with me.

If you want me to help you.

And now you'll have to hurry, sir.

Dinner's already been served and is awaiting the guest of honor.

What's wrong? Not to your liking?

Papa's pajamas?

No, they're fine.

It's just that I'm not hot on stripes lately.

Oh, good.

I forgot about that. Come on and eat.

Some pate de foie gras?

Or a little caviar?

How about a little bit of each now?

I hope you're enjoying it.

Mm -hmm.

And now a little glass of burgundy, perhaps.

Tell me, did I promise you too much?

Here, no one will find you.

Your worries are over.

We'll spend a few days here, and then we can both go. Oh, no, my dear.

Out of the question.

Do you think I broke out of jail and came this far just to go to bed with

You're being crude and unpleasant.

I won't let you go, that's all.

Or I'll go along with you.

I have enough money.

Enough for the two of them.

There you are.

Go ahead.

Take whatever you need.

Take it away, do you hear?

I wouldn't even touch it.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to be insulting.

Whatever did they do to you?

Go on.

You can tell me.

What time is it?

Five o 'clock.

Time to go.

No, please don't go away.

Don't leave me alone, please.

I must go.

Where are my clothes?

That you'll be back soon.

You promise?

How long are you going to be away?

If I'm lucky, it'll be over in five minutes.

You know, I thought a lot about the two of us last night.

We could both start a new life abroad.

I've got a perfect plan.

You think you can get back here around noon, don't you?

Mm -hmm.

I'll telephone my lawyer right away.

With enough money, you can fix practically anything you want.

Here, help yourself to whatever you need.

I told you I don't need your money.

I'd like you to lend me your car.

But you should have something to eat before you go, don't you think?

I couldn't possibly eat a thing just now.

Give me the keys to the car.

The gas tank's full.

If I... Hurry back.

Good morning, Miss Earthfield.

Good morning.

You can clear the table.

And bring me my suitcase from the carpet when you're through, please.

You planning on a journey?

Yes, and before I go, I still have quite a lot to do.

I'm going to be picked up at noon, so I'd better hurry.

Will you be having lunch before you go?

I'm not quite sure yet.

Will you please bring me my suitcase?

Hello? Hello, Miss Erfield?

It can be done, but the man is asking for 5 ,000.

Good. In which case, it would be best for you to come over to my office before

12 o 'clock.

Thank you, I will.

It worked.

He'll really be surprised.

He wanted to get back here about noon.

What if he's delayed?

I'd better call the lawyer and tell him that I'll fetch the papers at one o

'clock.

He must be coming back soon.

We interrupt this program to give you a news bulletin.

The 35 -year -old burglar who escaped from the state penitentiary two days ago

was arrested this morning in the home of his ex -mistress.

His name is Frederick Jansen.

He had just murdered the 20 -year -old woman.

The motive is probably revenge or jealousy.

He has already admitted to the killing.

We now return you to our regular program as scheduled.

It might seem strange when you think back to the first World War II days.

Yes, sir. The door's been locked since yesterday afternoon.

All the windows are shut.

I put the food in front of the door. I kept knocking and knocking, but she

wouldn't open.

Here, let me try.

Sirfield?

Open up, please.

If you don't, I'm going to have to call the police.

Excuse me, sir. Maybe one of these people will do the trick.

I don't think so, sir.

Miss Erfield, what's the matter?

Shall I send for the doctor?

Hello?

Who's there?

Please, Thomas, come and get me.

I need you.

Please, come at once.

I'll wait here, Miss Erfield, in case you should need me.

Is there anything I can do for you, Miss Erfield?

Here you are, miss.

This mirror you're so fascinated with.

I just bought it. I bought it for you, darling.

Why?

I don't want it.

It's horrible.

What did you do that for?

Darling.

I saw a face.

It was bright.

Come take me out of here.
