Dear, they're going to close the flower shop!

I'm going now!

I'd like a flower for my dress.

- It looks so ugly! - If it's perfect!

Do you have you reproach me?

It's all I have!

Certainly.

I'm going to buy the flower.

- Caroline! - Yes...?

- Come here! - What?

Come here.

When you take out my dictionaries, put them as they were.

I'll tell you something!

I've never touched your dictionaries!

Nor will I ever touch them!

Edouard!

Now get away!

Is it you, dear?

There's no hurry! I have plenty of time.

Oh, it's the caretaker!

I came to ask a favor of the madame.

Come in, Madame Leroy!

What a beautiful dress!

- It could look better like this. - It's luxurious!

Now that you're here, help me fasten it. I can't now.

Of course! Anything you need!

- Sorry, I have cold fingers. - It's fine.

I always have hands and feet like icicles.

Women are used to having cold feet.

- You too? - Of course.

- There it is! - Thank you.

- Are you going to dance with your hubby? - Yes, well... no...

to a party.

I'm sorry, but I have to finish preparing and...

I'll let you! I'll let you!

- I forgot what was important! - What was that?

I'm having a visitor today. Do you know who?

No.

My nephew Ernest! He's in the military.

He's coming to Paris with a permit of 24 hours.

I'm so happy!

I want to hear your hubby play the piano.

All around the house everyone talks about the great musician!

- He doesn't want to miss out! - I understand.

But they're expecting us at 9:00.

It's only 7:30! I'll bring Ernest at 8:00.

And we'll only be here for a second. Only to listen a little.

Well if you want...

- Okay, until then! - Sure!

- Until then! - Goodbye!

Did you find it?

- I'm sorry, it was already closed. - Just what I thought!

You turned it off and it was my song: "Tic, tic, tic."

How unfortunate!

Oh, darling!

Oh, darling!

It's so pretty!

Will you allow me to...?

I can never deny you anything!

What are you doing?

I have to buy toothpaste!

Edouard! Which foot?

Which foot?

- The left. - Are you sure?

I'd chosen the right. It seems more suited to this foot.

- With this dress it won't be seen. - Surely.

I'll put it as you say.

You'll ruin the dress!

I'm looking for the other shoe! Leave me alone!

You'll ruin the dress! Get up!

Let's see...

Here!

- This isn't it! Leave it to me! - No, you'll damage the dress.

Go, go.

What...?

I was going to put them back as you said.

- Were you going to consult them? - Of course!

I needed a piece of information.

What information were you looking for?

Information!

I'm within my rights, no?

I thought you never touched my dictionaries.

- Did you know that it's almost 8:00? - And what! There's ample time.

No! Dress, get ready! Wash up, come on!

Cutting your evening dresses.

I have a fantastic idea!

A marvelous model of Christian's!

Jacques Christian!

- I'm going to show you something. - What's that?

What are you looking for?

If you'd let me...!

Ah, here it is!

I present you, "Be-Bop."

Christian's creation, copied by the great tailor: Madame Benoit.

Sorry, it's best for you if you like it perfectly.

Never throw it out: it's a very useful dress.

That said, I'm willing to study your new model.

Don't dream of it!

- Show it to me! - No!

- Is it too ugly? - Hideous!

Leave it now and get dressed!

Did something happen to you?

You're crazy!

I'm married to a crazy woman!

If it isn't Monsieur Edouard!

- The handsome Monsieur Edouard! - Get off, get off!

No, not handsome at all! It's the horrible Edouard!

- What are you looking for? It's all there. - Except my vest.

You hide my clothes in all the corners!

I hide nothing!

I could find whatever you're looking for with my eyes closed!

- Are you so orderly? - No, I'm instinctive, which is better.

I'm going to find you the vest.

Go!

Has your instinct betrayed you?

How strange!

- Caroline, don't do this to me! - One must remain calm!

Ah, no?

And if it doesn't appear, we can always buy one.

At this hour? What madness! Everything's closed!

- Then they'll open for you! - Ah, yes?

And the money?

Have you thought of the money?

A vest costs at least 2,000 francs!

No, no, no! I need my vest!

You need it! You're acting hysterical!

- We'll find a solution. - There isn't one.

There isn't one! How dramatic!

I'll find it for you! A vest doesn't just disappear!

Don't you tell me...!

Help me, don't just sit there!

Absurd!

This is absurd!

What a catastrophe!

Who is it?

The caretaker!

And what...?

- Dear, please, be friendly! - We are!

- We're here! - Edouard!

Please, you have to play a piece!

- For the caretaker? - No, for her nephew!

If you don't, we'll have to move!

Why?

She's so good with us, she wants us so much that I don't get it.

We're coming, we're coming!

Alright, but I need the vest!

I'll find it for you! It must be somewhere!

I'll find it while you play, but please, promise me...

- Swear to me that you'll play. - I promise, I promise!

- Swear it! - Yes, yes, but open the door!

Thank you dear!

Forgive me, I couldn't find my husband!

Come in, Ernest!

- We won't bother you...? - Of course not! Come in!

Come in, Monsieur!

- He's a good boy, isn't he? - No doubt about it.

Hello, Madame Leroy. Hello, Monsieur.

My nephew Ernest.

- Are you a soldier? - Yes, Monsieur.

That's great!

Good grief, don't destroy my instrument for work!

Sorry, monsieur. I hope we're not bothering you!

We've come to here the master play.

Ernest is here in Paris with a 24-hour permit.

Very good, very good! With your permission, I'll begin.

It's unfortunate, we're in a bit of a hurry.

Right, darling?

My husband exaggerates. We're not in such a hurry!

Sit down, please!

- On foot the acoustics are bad! - Thank you, Madame.

Thank you, Madame.

Go look, Caroline!

No, no! Keep working. I'll answer.

Yes?

Julien, I'd like to talk with Monsieur Beauchamp.

The Monsieur is very busy right now.

Careful with the tiles!

Careful!

What are you doing, Julien? Come here!

Sorry, Madame.

One moment, sir. One moment, please.

Let's roll up the carpet. Get back, please.

On the side, by God! On the side!

Like that! Come here!

Let's go, whenever they'd like!

Quiet!

Quiet!

- Who called? - The Monsieur's niece.

One second!

The Monsieur... Careful...

Excuse me, Monsieur!

The Monsieur will attend to you immediately.

Friends!

All the furniture,

all of the objects that adorn this room,

have no beauty for me.

Collectors' pieces, family records...

You'll understand me now.

And now...

Ahead!

Attend to them, Julien!

Yes, Caroline...?

Wait just a second!

If he hasn't finished! You won't play them the rest?

The rest?

The "Polonesa" by Chopin.

You only played the middle, it's better that they hear the whole thing.

Right, Edouard? Play!

- You don't want to sit, Madame? - Yes, sit down!

If you think you have time!

Caroline!

What are you doing in the entryway?

Me?

Nothing!

And the vest? You're not looking for the vest?

- Calm down, everything's fixed! - Then where are you going?

- Nowhere! - And why are you going to the entryway?

What are you doing there?

You see how it is now, Madame Leroy!

Play!

Listen!

Ah, continue there!

Give me a moment.

I assume they'll have finished.

No, Monsieur, we have to move the piano and put it back in place.

Let's put it back in place and then go. We can move it together.

Julien!

Give a tip to those men.

And thank them on my behalf!

Good.

They're going, I can rest easy.

What's going on, Caroline?

A disaster! A real disaster!

I have a terrible problem!

- Good afternoon, Madame. - Good afternoon.

I need a vest desperately!

A vest? What for?

For Edouard's suit. It's my fault. I had one, but...

- And he doesn't have more? - Well, no, uncle.

Ridiculous!

How can you be so foolish?

A single vest for getting dressed? He must be a "bohemian"!

Wait, I'll see what I can do.

- You were there, Roger! - Good afternoon, Monsieur.

I'll be with you shortly.

No, not like that, you'll have to take leave of the barber.

It's awful that you don't trust me!

Your father confides in me more, Monsieur Alain.

- I've been cutting his hair so long! - Yes, yes!

- I just talked to your cousin. - Is Caroline there?

On the telephone.

The idiot she married doesn't have a vest for his suit!

It's grotesque!

- Are you done? - Yes, Monsieur.

- Is she on the phone? - Yes.

Only a touchup, Roger. That'll do.

Very well, Monsieur Beauchamp.

- Only the nape of the neck, right? - Only the nape.

Hey, beautiful cousin of my dreams! How are you?

Is that you, Alain?

I thought they'd abandoned me.

- Have you gone crazy? - Yes, completely.

One second!

- Has he finished? Did you like it? - Very much! Thank you!

- We'll leave you now. Come, Ernest! - Goodbye, Madame. My pleasure.

Good afternoon!

- Hello? - Who is it?

- Sorry, they interrupted me. - Who is it?

- Your vest. - My vest?

Excuse me.

So the artist has clothing problems?

Don't worry. I have a collection of vests.

All in Edouard's size.

- How lucky! I adore you! - What?

- Maybe they'll be a bit big. - Do you think...?

I have broad shoulders. Sports, you know...

In the conservatory they don't develop muscles.

Are you done? Who are you talking to?

Then I'll send it to you? Whenever you'd like it.

Until the...!

It was your lamentable cousin.

My lamentable cousin, yes.

You wouldn't like me to listen to you?

Tiny bird!

One who's not in love with his cousin!

Furthermore, he's not in love with you. He wants you.

But in the meanwhile, he's lending you a vest.

It's irrelevant! I'll die first!

I have a vest and I'm going to put it on!

Impossible!

I just made an arrangement. I managed it.

Are you joking?

Absolutely not! I managed it.

With other antiques that were in the way in the flat...

How incongruous! It was new...! Or almost.

It saddens me to have worn it!

It was your father's vest!

It was yellowing and frayed. You were going to buy another, remember?

I don't agree with any of this!

And when did you arrange it?

This will make it a year.

What do you want? You can't save everything!

And why didn't you get me a suit, too?

What am I going to do without a vest?

It's very easy, take Alain's!

A beautiful vest; you'll be impressive.

Come on, get dressed and look for it!

Put it on!

I swear to you that if you tell me you were going to call them...

I didn't tell you anything. What could I have done, otherwise?

Only my uncle would go to this trouble.

- It wasn't Alain? - First, I talked to my uncle.

Your uncle, your cousin, it's all the same to me!

I won't put up with anyone.

Leave your shoes on!

You're wrong. My uncle appreciates you a lot.

It's true, he appreciates you a lot! He wants you to succeed.

Alright, alright!

It scares him to have a poor man like you in the family.

An obscure artist, eh?

But for me, the Beauchamps who are going to the...

- Shit! - Shit!

I'm going to look stupid.

No one will see you. The package is ready.

Are you sure? It's just as well.

What must one do in this life!

You know now that this soiree is very important for us.

- The opportunity of a lifetime! - You don't tell me those things!

I'm very optimistic.

Zip me up.

- You're not going to undress? - I have to do some stitching.

- Any objections? - None.

Perfect.

- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon, Monsieur.

- I've come to get a package. - A package?

A package hasn't come for me?

I'm Monsieur Mortier, nephew of Monsieur Beauchamp.

I know, but the Monsieur hasn't given you a package.

- If you would be so kind as to go... - No, no, I'm waiting here!

- As you wish. I'll notify the Monsieur. - Thank you.

Good afternoon, Monsieur.

- I was going to enter! - Then enter!

Thank you, Monsieur!

- Igor Poniet. - Edouard Mortier.

Monsieur...?

I'm the helper.

They hired me to serve dinner.

There's a set of stairs for service!

I knew there was one.

- I haven't found it. - Very badly done!

And you have a beard, too!

Yes, I have a beard.

Return immediately, Monsieur. Come with me, please.

Dear! But you were in the antechamber!

Come in, man, come in!

Sorry if it bothers you... you're never a bother!

Come, dear, come! I'm going to show you something!

Look at your piano.

Did you buy a piano?

I rented it in "Playel."

A piano isn't bought for a concert.

It's an abominable piece of furniture!

- It's not to your taste? - I like it very much!

Is it good there?

I moved it myself, along with my servants.

Laughable! Claude Beauchamp, servant of the rope.

Can you imagine the scene?

Is the instrument adequate?

Is it good?

- It's excellent. - If not, I could have another brought.

It's no problem.

Tonight you're going to play in front of some marvelous people.

I plan on mentioning you to Florence Montreuil and the Barvilles,

who are effectively the masters of Paris.

I want to repair an injustice.

You have so much talent, but you haven't met anyone.

And that's terrible!

A moment ago, I was talking to your wife and I told her...

I told Caroline that if my guests like you,

tomorrow, the whole world will be talking about you.

- It's just like I'm telling you. - Yeah, sure.

Who launches artists? Who do you think?

We show the way and the public follows you without question.

Are you amazed?

No, not much.

You'll be rich and famous, dear!

Certainly, does Caroline have... Is she saying...

An appropriate dress for tonight?

Yes.

I'll go! I wanted to take her to Jacques Christian's store.

He's the best designer in Paris. Do you know him?

- Yes. - He's a friend of mine.

How can you get in touch with him?

It's late now!

You're very friendly, but it wasn't necessary.

Of course!

Two dry martinis.

- Not feeling in the mood? - I'm sorry, but not now.

I drink very little, and the least when I'm going to play.

- I understand. Serve one. - Yes, Monsieur.

- And well...? - I don't want to take up any more of your time.

I should get dressed.

Certainly, go immediately!

- Have you been given a vest yet? - Not yet.

Why haven't you told me anything? By God, we're at your service!

Julien!

Take Monsieur Mortier to Monsieur Alain.

Alain will give you the vest. Until then.

Thanks.

- Have this, Monsieur! - Thank you!

- What's your given name? - Igor, Monsieur.

- Is it Russian? - Yes, Monsieur.

Perfect, perfect, perfect!

Yes...?

- Monsieur Mortier, sir. - Come in, come in!

Hello, maestro.

You're in top form. I've heard you play.

Fantastic!

Will you let me finish getting dressed?

What are you going to play tonight?

Various pieces.

- You're not nervous? - No, why?

The cream of the crop impress you a little, no?

- I'll tell you when I meet them. - Let me give you some advice.

Play Brahms. It's all about Brahms.

- It's your strength. - Perhaps.

Everyone has his specialty. For Barelowsky, it's Chopin.

- For you, Brahms. - How good you are!

But, play what you want. You're the best judge.

- I'll see. - I hate this bow tie!

I've never lost choosing between the satin and the shiny.

- What do you prefer? - It's all bad to me.

- Sorry, about the vest... - Ah, certainly!

Take it! Choose!

You're very kind. I'm sure this will go well for me.

So try it on, man!

Definitively, I choose the satin. As always.

It fits you perfectly! Perfect!

Father! Come in! Isn't it sublime?

I acknowledge that it's not bad.

Excuse me, they're calling.

Stay like that, man! Your wife will love it.

I'll put this on.

Don't you want us to make you a package?

No. It's very good like this.

Thanks, Alain. Until then.

- My dear friends! - Oh, Claude!

- Do we want to be the first? - It's all in the details!

- What an elegant idea! - Thank you.

Who is he?

Come here! Introduce yourself!

Ah, these artists!

The Barvilles, the ones I was telling you about.

I present you Caroline's husband, a great pianist.

The Prize of the Conservatory.

The Barvilles, for whom you will play tonight.

Monsieur, Madame...

How wonderful!

Don't you want to play us something now?

- I'm sorry, but I must go. - What a shame!

- It's fine, he'll be back. - In that case, until then.

Until then.

Goodbye, uncle.

- Charming. - Yes.

Don't call me uncle in front of guests. It looks ridiculous.

Call me Claude, like all the others.

- We're in agreement. - Take the elevator.

No, it's faster to walk.

Caroline!

You're still not ready?

- Open up! - I'm not finished!

What are you doing? It's very late! We should be there now!

And we are. Get dressed. You have everything on the bed.

Yeah, yeah.

- Did they give you the vest? - What are you saying?

- If they gave you the vest! - Yes, they gave it to me!

I've had to put up with your whole family!

Poor Edouard, so afraid!

No! I took to them like a fish to water.

Ah, they've been divine!

Alain advised me on my repertoire.

Your lover was delightful.

- Do you know who I met? - No! And I want to know!

Who?

- Madame "Berville." - Barville!

I made a very good impression.

They're impatiently expecting me.

- Dear...? - What?

Sit in the sofa. I'm going to leave.

What?

Sit in the sofa! I'm going to leave!

Good grief!

- Are you...? - Wait!

Now!

You've gone crazy!

Get rid of this immediately!

What am I going to get rid of? I cut it.

Cut...!

And the pieces?

- What for? - I want to see them!

But look at yourself! Look at yourself!

In that case precisely... it's formidable!

Surprising at first, but it's formidable.

Dear, you ruined it for so little.

Dear, calm down!

Get a hold of yourself!

Listen.

I'm going to explain it to you very carefully.

You aren't so fashionable,

but now, elegant women are wearing low-cut evening dresses.

How unfortunate!

Well, yes!

Everyone is wearing low-cut evening wear, except hicks like you!

- I've never seen them! - Wait!

Take it and look!

You had a beautiful dress!

Now you're ridiculous! An insignificant showoff!

You didn't even cut it well!

It's longer in the back than in the front!

It's on purpose! On purpose!

It goes from over to down! It's grotesque!

You're tiring me!

Aren't you going to break the metronome?

You're tiring me!

- You're tiring me! - Have you gone mad?

I hate you!

What?

I hate you, I hate you!

You disgust me!

Sorry, I didn't want to...

I'm very happy.

It's exactly what I was waiting for.

You're just as I wanted.

Calm down, let's go!

Listen, Caroline...

Sorry, but it wasn't the time to talk nonsense...

Go away!

Your hit has closed my eyes shut! You're vulgar!

Vulgar!

Just go! Go away! I never want to see you again!

No, you don't have to apologize. In La Baulle.

Ah, La Baulle! Do you still conserve the villa?

Still. How horrible!

Have you never done the "Marche aux Puces"?

No, why? Is it interesting?

Sorry, Madame Barville claims me.

And the pianist...?

We're still waiting for him, dear.

- They say he plays very well. - He doesn't play badly.

I thought they were going to delight us with a recital.

- Certainly, and your pianist? - He's on the point of arriving.

With permission...

Florence!

What a pleasure!

- Good evening. - We're arriving late.

- What's going on? - It's later than you thought.

How horrible! You're in your role, Florence.

You're a queen... and a queen should make demands.

Speak French.

When you speak English, I understand nothing.

- Ah, no? - Not a word.

How strange that Spencer doesn't understand your English.

I think you speak it marvelously.

I learned it at the university.

That explains it.

The English of Oxford and Chicago don't have much in common.

It can be. In England they understand me perfectly.

- Claude...? - I'm coming!

Be friendly!

They're a bunch of tyrants! I detest bridge!

I'll save you.

- Dear friend! - Little sister!

I bring you a fourth player, my husband, Spencer Borsch.

The gentlemen: Hubert de Mole, Kidifka, and...

The baron Herpin. Bridge?

Stupendous! This man will show us how to play bridge.

- Hello, Helene! - Hello!

- Hello, Jean! - There's Florence.

Hello!

You're not going to greet her?

I'll stay. I'm very well here.

She's stunning. A beautiful dress.

- Have you seen? - Yes.

She devours you with her eyes!

I'm going to greet her. One must be polite.

Good evening, Alain...

- A beautiful dress. - You like it?

Very much.

I like you very much.

Careful, Lucie Barville is watching us!

Ah, yes...?

And if we go sit down for a while...?

- How are you? - I'm a little disappointed.

- Isn't the music coming? - One that remains to be seen!

Lucie would like the concert very much.

As would everyone!

- And if Alain uses the telephone? - You're right!

He was there with Florence.

I'm going, I'm going!

Your son is charming.

- I must take him from you. - Thank you, Florence.

You have to make a telephone call.

My niece Caroline and her husband have not arrived yet.

I don't understand it. I really don't.

- How horrible! And our concert? - Precisely! Call them!

It's an urgent matter.

I'm returning with Madame Barville.

Excuse me, Florence.

They've already left.

Yes...?

Shit, shit, shit!

Shit!

After what you've done, I'm asking for a divorce.

What happened?

You wouldn't understand.

Dear Florence, they claim me. It's a pain.

We have so much to talk about!

Did you have something to tell me?

And you...?

Me...?

I don't know what I have to tell you.

Frankly, me neither.

We were mistaken.

The mistaken one is you.

I'm sure of that.

Edouard! What were you doing in there?

- I was going to call. - You're late!

Yes.

What's with the "yes"? They're waiting for you!

Did you come alone? And Caroline?

- She's sick. - Poor girl!

- Take off your coat! - Are you going...?

Yes, you see now.

Thank you, Mademoiselle.

Call, call! I'm going.

Thanks, but it's not important.

- You're Edouard? - Yes, Madame.

Now's the time!

Come on, dear, please!

Where is Caroline?

She's had time to comb her hair at home! Oh, the time!

Caroline! Caroline!

I'll help you make your entrance.

We were waiting for you so impatiently!

I can assure you.

Where is Caroline?

- She's sick. - It can't be!

- What a pain! - Beauchamp!

What's going on?

How do you say "without winning" in English?

We already know that. We don't know "winning."

What foolishness! The word escapes me!

And you went to Oxford for that?

I'm going to look for Madame Borsch.

She'll be better.

Dear Florence, they need you for your knowledge.

- Where? - At the bridge table.

Excuse me...

Edouard...

Are you going to play? What luck!

First, eat something.

Thank you, I'm not hungry.

We're going to have dinner together.

No, the three of us. Come along, Herve!

Look, there are platters of caviar!

No, thank you.

- A little pate. - Really, no.

A filet of steamed salmon! It's so rich!

Thanks, but I won't have anything.

Why, your wife is sick?

- What a sensibility! - And a fruit salad?

- No, you're very kind. - And well...?

He doesn't want to eat anything.

Artists live on love and still water, you know.

Right, Edouard? Drink. It's delicious.

Trust me.

And us...?

Leave it, I don't want anything.

- I'll take a sandwich. - Very well, dear.

- And fruit salad. - What a great success!

- Is it really so? - Another "black devil," sir?

Yes, a "black devil."

All "as" been said between us.

Goodbye.

All has been said between us. Goodbye.

Can't I come in?

Good evening!

Good evening.

- You're not at the party? - Neither are you, as I can see.

What a happy coincidence!

Princess, I've come to collect you.

How do you like my tuxedo? Good, eh?

Sorry, everything's a mess.

Yes, effectively.

Then, how do I look?

Very handsome, as always.

And you who find me especially attractive!

What are you doing here?

I've come looking for you.

You're very kind, but I'm not ready.

Don't miss the party for me. When I'm ready, I'll call a taxi.

I'll stay.

Alain...

Yes?

I'm not planning to go to your father's party.

Why?

I'm going to show you something.

- Wait! - I'm waiting, I'm waiting...

- What do you think? - Extraordinary!

I love the movement!

It doesn't matter to you that it's longer in the back?

To the contrary! Like that, it's more chic.

From top to bottom.

Come here so I can zip you up.

And what...? Did you get in a fight with your husband?

- How do you know? - I know many things...

What things?

I know everything.

You got in a fight with Edouard.

You said you wanted a divorce.

And you've sent it to the shit...

three times.

It was me you called.

Not your husband. Me.

You're going to your mother's house.

And you've left a note with a spelling error.

What are you telling me?

I know all that already, go away!

No, we'll spend the night together.

Alain, don't make me kick you out!

- Who's stopping you? - Alain!

We'll go if you want.

Where to?

To the party.

Are you scared to be alone with me?

Are you coming?

I imagine you do scaled from morning until night.

Florence, I have to ask you something very important.

Your wife says not to.

My wife...?

I'm not his wife!

Excuse me.

The Madame isn't drinking with the Monsieur.

And I said: the Madame is the wife of the Monsieur.

Florence, it's very important.

- Can I call you Florence? - If you'd like...

Stupendous!

They call me Edouard.

With permission!

Whenever you'd like, Edouard.

You should start playing before you get too drunk.

I suppose you think the same.

I'll notify the others.

Pardon the interruption.

I wanted to ask you: do you want your husband?

Don't speak so loud, please!

Do you sincerely want your husband?

I can't answer you like this, without more.

Is it that you don't want him?

Naturally, yes.

You want Monsieur Borsch then...

You love him, you adore him, your marriage is perfect.

And one day, suddenly,

by some foolishness, he slaps you.

What would you do?

- Get a divorce. - No!

Yes!

Ah, yes?

Of course!

And now, go play.

- Florence... - Sit down at the piano.

They're waiting for you.

You would really get a divorce?

Sit down at the piano!

I thought he could look at the pages.

Do you know how to read music?

No.

Anyway, he plays without sheet music.

- Are you comfortable? - Yes.

- Sit down, Laetitia! - No, no!

I'm staying close to see his hands.

- Is everything fine...? - It's fine.

- Whenever you'd like. - We're leaving it.

With three wins, I think that's enough.

What is your good man going to play for us?

He has a great repertoire! He plays everything!

When he's played one or two pieces,

- request what you want, and he'll play it. - I'd like to see this.

Have a seat!

Chopin's "Prelude."

It's a prelude by Chopin.

It's a study!

Very pleasant.

Beautiful!

Excellent.

Very good!

You haven't heard anything yet! Wait, just wait!

Excuse me, but I should leave.

Dispense of me.

- What's going on? Are you sick? - No.

As they've applauded him,

he's lost his mind! That's it.

Sorry, but I have to return home.

He's crazy!

- Can we talk a moment? - No way!

- Don't tell me nonsense! - I have to get home.

Edouard, don't be a child!

Caroline is sick, yes.

You're worried and that's honorable.

You have very good sentiments and it's stupendous.

But even if Caroline is alone for a while, it won't make her worse.

Furthermore, one mustn't worry about the ill.

They prefer to be alone, you know.

Come, come, the piano!

I'm sorry, but I can't consent to this!

Claude!

If you were a woman, I'd tell you what I thought!

I understand you, Edouard. I understand you very well!

You're very kind, dear, but all is going well.

Edouard will play us a small fragment and then leave.

You understand nothing! Everyone here is witness to that!

This guy, full of talent, asks permission to leave.

His wife, who he loves. is very sick. Even so, he's still come here.

But now, the heart weakens, he feels anxious, uneasy...

A gloomy presentiment, perhaps.

He wants to go home, whatever it takes to be by her side.

And now, I ask you:

is there someone so inhumane, so abject,

who would keep him from joining his wife?

No, right?

Go and give Caroline a kiss for me.

I'll come visit you one of these days.

Let's go, say goodbye to everyone!

Come on, quickly!

Let's go, let's go!

- Goodnight. - Say farewell to the Madame.

Madame Delmarre...

Monsieur Paniery...

Over here!

Naturally, we can't prevent him from going.

- What are you going to do? - We'll organize something another day.

- Sure! - Yes, yes.

- Goodbye, Monsieur. - Goodbye.

Goodnight.

- Does your wife have a good doctor? - I believe so.

I think we've said goodbye to everyone.

Ah, no! Except my husband. Herve...

He's charming.

I hope I'll have the pleasure to hear him again.

Edouard!

I'm very happy.

Claude! Sorry, but I prefer to go.

What! But, dear friend...!

I'm very happy.

Are you well? Are you better?

I want to find her. It won't bother you?

- Good evening, Caroline. - Good evening, Monsieur Barville.

- Good evening, uncle. - Wait until I return!

Thanks, Julien, you're very kind.

- Goodbye, friend. - But Lucie, please...!

- I've made a farce, a farce! - No, dear, no!

- Why didn't you keep me from doing it? - Lucie!

Leave her, she's inconsolable. Let's go, girl!

- Bravo! - What have you done?

Nothing!

I just ruined a 20-year friendship. You've been brilliant!

"I'm very happy."

- How much are you giving? - I'm sorry.

I'll wait for that. If you're going to lie, then lie well.

It's not so hard! In the end!

If you'd be so kind as to follow me...

Uncle, I want to say something to Edouard!

- Excuse us, uncle. - I won't bother you!

Five minutes and I'll return to the piano.

There's no hurry now.

- Caroline... - No!

It's me you wanted to talk to.

- Listen... - No! Shut up!

You think, without a doubt, that what happened between us isn't important.

Continue.

For me it's so important that,

in a word...

I want to get a divorce.

- The son of the man of the house. - Monsieur Alain?

Yes!

He sends champagne to the couple with his best wishes.

It's such a refined detail! Not in the mood?

- Thank you, friend. - Best wishes!

You're not drinking?

I'm not thirsty.

Poor Caroline! She can't hit.

And well...?

I understood. I'm slow, but not that slow.

Are you sure you understood?

- What do you understand? - What you told me, no more.

You want a divorce. That's it, no?

Yes.

I agree.

Marvelous!

- You agree? - I told you so.

I'm still amazed!

I was so scared that you would make it difficult.

It's very natural!

I hit you, you want a divorce, you tell me, and I accept.

I have to go. My public has been waiting long enough.

Are you coming?

How curious!

My family always told me that we'd end in divorce.

Mine, which is less distinguished, told me the same thing.

Caroline, finally!

Dear, your dress is sensational!

- You think so? - It's a fact! Marvelous!

I usually hate low-cut evening dresses, but I adore this.

- Dear Caroline! - Good evening!

- Dear, you're adorable! - Thank you!

Poor Edouard!

He's charming. Very nice, right? Delicious.

- Sorry, I didn't understand. - It's not important.

However...

My husband thinks you're Caroline's lover.

- Come on, come on! - Is that funny to you?

Yes, your husband is perfect.

You have a great talent.

You're very kind, but I didn't play anything great.

- I'll give a report soon. - Better for me.

- Your husband plays divinely. - I'm going to greet Florence. Pardon me.

Good evening.

Everyone's saying you have a sensational dress.

So I won't tell you anything.

How beautiful you are, Caroline! I like you very much!

Your wife is very pretty.

Yes.

Yours as well.

Let's go discuss this at the bar.

- I'm thirsty. - Me too.

Your husband is amazing. He has conquered me.

I haven't left all night long.

It's alright, Caroline! Edouard is incorruptible.

- There's nothing to be done. - He's a saint.

Edouard is a saint.

He'll have done all the tricks, including the "fall of the eyes."

It's his biggest success.

You have to do something about my father!

Don't be foolish!

- Are you all having fun together? - You can't deny it.

It's a little experiment. Very good!

Don't be ridiculous! He's a demon! He wants that.

Don't put it on after the warning! It's better to not want that.

You're scaring me! What must I do?

Get in front of Florence and look in her eyes.

- Get up, Florence! - No, no!

- I'll kneel down! It's the rules. - Very well.

- And what do I do? - Nothing, nothing.

Look at Florence and wait. Go ahead, Florence!

- It's an idiocy! - Florence!

- What are you doing? - Can we play?

No, nobody move! Come here, Florence!

- What a pity! - Silence!

It's very pleasant.

They haven't given me a paper and I don't dare improvise.

Not that! Not that!

Good... give us your impressions, now that it's over. Get up.

Already? The experiment is brief.

You didn't feel anything? Tell us!

A little something.

What a disaster, Florence!

- I've done it so I can. - Confess!

I'll only say she has fascinating eyes.

I liked it! Let's do it again!

- Always the same, no! - He's touching me!

- Look at me with those eyes! - No, get up!

- I'm tired! - Florence!

Cheers!

Pardon...?

Tell me.

I don't have anything to tell.

Yes, man! I know everything.

You, your beautiful wife...

and that imbecile!

Alain...?

What's going on?

I'm also a cuckold.

You perhaps, but not me!

I believe...

I am one.

Ah, yes, Florence...?

It's equal. I have a French lover...

A simple dressmaker.

Florence! I haven't finished!

- Did you understand what he said? - Well enough.

Stupendous!

- A red wine! - Two! It's a good idea!

Edouard...

I'm going to explain it to you.

I think it's very clear.

I'll explain it.

The dressmaker works all day.

Yes...

However, the rich woman...

doesn't do anything.

All day long...

Cuckold!

I see that my husband is exhibiting his favorite theory.

The dressmaker and the woman of privilege.

Why don't you tell all the men. It's very interesting!

You'll have to explain it to me, Spencer.

What theory is that? I don't know, I never pay attention.

You see how it is?

I just made little bird's eyes to you and he hasn't notices.

- No! - Yes, a little bit.

But I won't repeat it! Worse for you!

Edouard, you have a charming wife. I adore her!

Florence likes being the center of attention.

She's very happy that way.

I get along well with you, Monsieur Borsch.

As I with you.

Edouard...

Play, please.

I don't know if the people would like it.

You're a great pianist!

Play!

It's precise!

I have projects for you.

What?

Go play!

What a pain that you didn't come last summer!

- Yes, yes. - Sir...

Edouard's going to play.

Edouard's going to play.

Edouard's going to play!

Please!

Edouard's going to play.

Let's go!

It seems like this time it's really going to happen.

Will you allow me to sit beside you?

Dear Claude...

Now I'll play a little something!

- Yes, he's playing. - Marvelous!

- Good! Play for us! - Fantastic!

I won't finish!

I feel I shouldn't finish!

You intimidate me a lot, you know?

I'm going with the music to the other part.

Dance with me.

- Will you let me? - Yes.

Thanks, Caroline.

With whom have you fallen, my poor Caroline!

Edouard is heartbroken.

This will never come to anything.

- Claude, La Raspa! - No, no, no!

- Come on, come on! - No, no...!

I'm waiting for you to grant me the next dance.

It's unfortunate. I don't know how to dance La Raspa.

Whisky.

It doesn't look very difficult.

And if we try it...?

Hello?

Edouard?

Don't hang up. I'll put you on with Monsieur Borsch.

- What mystery is this? - None. I'm making a call.

Leave me alone, please.

Florence...

Hello, Edouard!

- How are you? - Fine, Monsieur Borsch.

Excuse my behavior earlier.

I still trust you.

You're very kind.

I'm going to organize a concert.

No!

A grand concert.

It can be at the Playel Room. I'm going to reflect.

Party's over?

No, but I was tired.

Well, I'm going to go change.

Edouard!

Sorry.

I'll leave immediately.

I wanted to ask you something.

I had intended to go to my mother's house.

But it's too late, if I went now, it'd seem crazy.

And with what happened, it's even worse.

So, if it doesn't bother you,

I'll stay here...

and you'll go.

- Where to? - Your parents' house.

They're sleeping too.

Yeah, sure.

- Then I'll go. - No, stay!

Don't worry, I'll sleep at a hotel.

- It doesn't bother you? - No, no!

Look, I'll make another proposal!

Don't worry about me and go to bed.

Mama wakes up very early. I'll go at 7:30.

While you sleep, I'll read.

- You're not going to bed? - I'm not tired.

I'm not tired.

Don't feel obligated to stay dressed for me.

Make yourself comfortable.

Thanks, I won't give you the grief.

Then I'm going to do it.

Don't think I'm wearing this nightgown to seduce you.

It's very good on you.

It's a pity you didn't wear it more often.

I enjoyed it two or three times during our honeymoon, no more.

I didn't know you liked it "vaporous."

What's with you?

Nothing, I'd like to assist you.

Very funny.

- Why did you bolt the lock? - For the thieves.

We do every single night.

Or did you think I wanted to violate you?

Absolutely not. I've never thought that.

You're wrong. I want you very much.

What are you saying...?

That I desire you very much.

What has happened to you?

I want us to still have good memories.

- Let's separate like friends. - Edouard!

Ah, no!

Stay where you are!

Watch me scream!

I'll count to three! One, two... three!

What are you waiting for to scream?

I didn't scream because you stopped.

Edouard!

Release me! I'm begging you to release me!

Edouard, I'll scream! I'm going to scream!

Hello?

Edouard! I hoped you wouldn't be sleeping.

Just a second!

I order you to release me! Brute!

Hear this...!

Don't hang up, dear sir!

- Who is it? - I hear you!

I only wanted to tell you...

to come by my office tomorrow, Berry St., #4.

I'll answer all your questions.

What did he want?

What happened?

I'll tell you later.
