Love is the splendid illusion.

Love is the luxury.

All right?

Shh. Won't be a minute.

Oh, don't leave me. I'm cold.

You could have fooled me.

I saw a gorgeous pair of shoes

yesterday.

Darling?

Well, it's a bit difficult at the moment, Debbie.

Oh, go on.

They're not expensive.

Well, I'll see what I can do.

It used to be at least twice a week.

You know how it is. Business first.

From what I've heard through the grapevine, my darling, it isn't only

business. I wonder you have time to squeeze me in at all.

I'll always be able to squeeze you in.

I know.

It's getting late.

You have to go.

I understand.

Yes, you do understand.

That's why I like you.

But you don't have to go.

She's not your wife.

You are a

Jason, for heaven's sake.

Now just quieten down and read that.

Hurry up, darling. I've got to get a move on.

Bills, bills, bills.

What time did you get in last night?

Oh, I don't know. Fairly late, I think.

Jason, behave yourself.

Where did you go?

Ah, it was just one of those boring dinners. I couldn't get away.

So I noticed.

What do you mean?

Doesn't it occur to you that I might have been worried?

At least you could have phoned me.

All right, I will the next time, I promise you.

I've heard that before.

Well, I've just promised.

Bow down.

Good

morning,

Mrs. Dewberry.

Oh, no, not you again.

I'm afraid so.

It's from the High Court this time.

Sorry to disturb you.

Good morning.

Now, listen, there's nothing to worry about. I'll talk to the solicitors this

morning. But we've... You'd better get Jason ready. We'll be late.

Everything's getting to be such a strain.

Can't we go away for a while? You know I can't.

But it's what we need.

It would do us good. I'm sorry, darling. I'd love to, but it's out of the

question.

Now, for goodness sake, get Jason ready and hurry up.

I'll see you in the car.

Bye, Jason. Bye, darling.

Morning,

darling. Morning.

There we are.

Don't worry, dear.

Bye. Wait for tomorrow.

Bye.

Bye-bye.

I'll ring you later this afternoon.

Bye.

Okay. Yes, fine. No problems? No, none at all. Penny can cope with the shop for

a couple of hours.

Where shall we go, then?

Back to my place.

Morning. Fix me a coffee.

How long will you be away?

A couple of weeks.

Do you have to go?

Yes.

I'd love you to come with me.

You know I can't.

Are these the new estimates for the Allen house?

Yes, they arrived this morning. All right.

Yeah.

You take care of this.

Oh, Britt.

It's time you realized this is a business.

We're not a benevolent fund for society women.

No, sure.

But have you got any ideas?

Give me a chance.

What about this?

It's still open.

Yeah.

Yeah, it could be interesting.

Bernard Collins.

Can you fix me up? You'll get your opportunity to meet him at the reception

tonight. Tonight?

Oh, Lord.

Yes, tonight.

So whoever she is, you'll have to pull her off. Well, no, it's just that I

promised... It starts at 8.30.

Oh, and I've arranged for you to see the Collins site this afternoon.

So if you let me have your ideas, I'll make out an estimate.

I'll deal with that.

You're marvelous.

8.30 tonight.

8.30 tonight.

The same as last year.

Just as boring.

Same faces.

Same kinky dolly birds.

All talking nonsense.

Same stupid gossip.

Scratching each other's eyes out.

Fever. What a crashing bore.

Pity about Du Barry.

He started off so well.

But I hear he's in a terrible mess now.

I believe so.

What about dinner, darling?

What? I'd rather have fish and chips.

Mind you, it's his own fault. Too many women and not enough work. That's his

trouble. Now, in my case... Excuse me.

But of course, we could share the fish and chips together off the same piece of

paper.

Twenty-five thousand pounds, darling.

It's just a little country house, you know, miles away from anywhere.

You know, Jordan.

Darling. Christian Dubarry's coming down to look it over for me. Do you know him?

I introduced you to him, darling.

Of course.

Who's the girl with Christian Dubarry?

Don't ask me. The latest, I imagine.

Very pretty.

Very pretty indeed.

Yes, isn't she?

Darling, I wasn't looking at her.

Charming man.

Absolutely bursting with ideas.

We've got so much in common. Yes, he likes older women.

Well, he made a pass at me the other day. He makes a pass at everyone, dear.

That boy has covered more street miles than 007.

Ah, well.

Oh, no. Having a nice time. And you?

Excuse me a moment.

I'll see you in a minute.

Oh, Christian.

Would you like to meet my friend?

She's been wanting to meet you for a long time. I'll see you.

Nice. Hello.

Excuse me. I can do it, Liz. I'm sure of it. You should see the space the

building has. One can really go to town in it.

Fine. Now all we've got to do is get the contract.

I've seen that face before.

Yeah. Look, let's go over a meeting.

Oh, damn.

Never mind. I'll find a way.

Oh, did you phone Amanda at 6.30?

Oh, hell.

That's all I need now.

No,

I'm at a very boring reception.

And a Christian's here.

So I thought I might come over.

Not tonight, darling. I'm too tired.

Ah.

But I'll see you tomorrow.

Yes. 9.30. Fine.

Bye now.

What are we doing tonight?

Well, we're not going out, that's for sure.

Really?

Might as well have a bath, then.

Oh, no you don't. You come here.

You know, I don't understand you.

How can you make love to two people so regularly?

I haven't made love to Amanda for ages.

Then she must have a boyfriend.

Oh, what a ludicrous idea.

Amanda would never be unfaithful to me.

Oh, no?

But I'm sure of it.

Do you like the Hessian?

Hello? Like what?

Oh, I do beg your pardon.

Yes, I like the sound of the Hessian. Good.

Yes, can you send me some samples of that and the others I mentioned?

One of each?

Yeah, as quickly as possible, please. Tomorrow, all right?

Yeah, many thanks.

Oh, Liz, get on to Jimmy and see when the painters can go in, will you?

Oh, and make an appointment for me to see the carpet people.

Oh, they'll see you tomorrow at three.

Oh, good.

Oh, and bring the Allen file in, will you?

General Dogsbody, that's me.

I'll put it on the desk.

You could do with a holiday.

Why is everybody so keen to get me out of the country?

Amanda would like it.

Combined business with pleasure.

What about Italy?

Italy? Yeah.

Bernard Collins is there.

So get to know him.

And who knows? With your ideas, we should get that contract.

Think about it. Not so fast.

You'd better sign these before you take your flight.

Right.

And you've got to be at the airport at 10.30.

And I've sent a card to meet you.

And there's one for the town book. Fantastic.

You're nuts.

Thank you, Mrs. Allen.

When will I be seeing you again?

Well, I'm going away for a fortnight, but I'll give you a ring as soon as I

get back. Do that, because I'm having a party on the 23rd, and I'd love you to

come. Oh, uh... Oh, excuse me, telephone.

Yes. Won't be a minute.

Hello. Hello.

My name's Christian Dubarry.

Oh, Barbara, here is the key for the front door.

Can you let the electricians in when they come back?

Sure, will do. Okay, thank you.

Goodbye. Bye.

Have a good holiday, and don't forget to call. No, I won't.

Goodbye.

Amanda?

Darling, where are you?

Now look what you've made me do.

Oh, never mind that. I've got a surprise for you. Give me a kiss. No. Oh, come

on.

There you are.

What are those for?

You and I are going away.

What? For a holiday, darling.

A little place in Italy.

It's looking much better now.

It's really quite effective, don't you think so?

What about the bailiffs?

We'll worry about them later.

Darling, that's wonderful.

Are you sure?

Shh. Just trust me.

And I'm not going to let you out of that hotel bedroom for three whole days.

When are we going?

Well, I've got to get the Allen house organized.

And you must fix Jason up with your mother.

We leave on Saturday.

Fantastico. Come here.

You know, it's funny.

Sometimes you're so obviously Amanda.

Other times you look so soft.

And you're just my Mandy.

Haven't called me that for ages.

Yes, room 102, yeah?

Could you please send me up some asparagus in butter and some lemon

sorbet, too?

Oh, yes, and a sparkling red wine.

It's Bumante, yes.

And as quickly as possible, please.

Why don't we do this more often?

I'll order some dinner to be sent out.

In about half an hour.

We seem to have missed out on lunch altogether.

How about another drink?

Room service, please.

I'll get it.

Senor? Ah.

Grazie. Molto grazie, senor. Thank you.

Madame. Thank you, darling.

I think it's time we got dressed, don't you? Oh, no. You're coming with me.

Christian du Barry, you're insatiable.

Senor Richards is wanted on the phone.

Can I help you, sir?

Oh, yes. I wonder if you could tell me whether Mr. Bernard Collins is in his

room. No, not at the moment, sir. As a matter of fact, he has gone out for the

evening. I see.

Thanks.

I think you look very attractive, my dear. So you're Miss Germany.

Darling, that was a long time ago. Ah, but it wasn't so very long ago.

A toast to Miss Germany.

I'll miss you.

Senor?

Oh, a large whisky.

Certainly, sir.

Give me another bottle, will you?

They pay.

What for?

You? Another bottle?

Attractive, isn't she?

Yes, very.

Her name's Sophie.

You'd like to meet her?

I can arrange it.

No, I don't think so.

Does she live at the hotel?

Of course.

She's part of the scene.

Come on, George.

Time to go.

We're not

so

good tonight, huh?

Look, I'm finished in about ten minutes.

What about it, huh?

Never.

I'm not good enough for you, is that it?

Look, maybe I'm not one of your millionaires, but at least I don't have

to pay for it.

I just want to learn a few manners.

Good morning. Morning.

Giorno. Buongiorno.

Morning.

That was marvelous.

We should try it.

No, thank you.

You know, if you don't get out of that bed very, very soon, you're gonna miss

all that sun.

All right?

See you on the beach,

Lisa.

Oh, no, you don't. You hurry up.

Are you going to sit there all day long?

Everyone else seems to be up.

I've heard them running about next door.

I came here for a rest, my dear, and a rest is what I mean to have.

Am I so boring and unattractive, Maurice?

I love you.

Well, I love you too, my dear.

After all, I taught you to speak English, didn't I?

Now, when we first met, the only word you knew was yes, and that was getting

you into all kinds of trouble.

I did hope this might be our second honeymoon.

Second honeymoon?

Good morning. Good morning.

How did you know I spoke English?

I know.

Shall we sit down at the table? Okay.

You speak very good English.

I live in England, but I'm French.

I would prefer to go somewhere with more action, but my husband needs rest.

So does Christian.

Your husband?

No, boyfriend.

Really? I thought you were on your honeymoon.

No, unfortunately.

Why unfortunately?

It's easier when you are not married.

Well, I have a child to think about.

Well, you are lucky.

I want a child, but Maurice.

Well, I am going to the beach. Are you coming?

Yes, I'll just go upstairs and get some things.

I'll see you there later. D'accord.

Hi, darling.

Where are you going? Well, I'm just going upstairs. Yeah, well, let's have a

coffee first. I'll come with you.

Amanda. My, my.

What a small world.

What on earth are you doing?

Darling, this is one of my clients from London, Mr. Bernard Collins.

Mr. Bernard Collins, Mr. Christian Dubarry.

How do you do? How do you do?

Well, will you excuse me?

Well, we're just going down to the beach.

You will join us.

I'd be delighted.

I'll see you both later.

Why didn't you tell me you knew Bernard Collins? Why is it so important?

What can he possibly do for you?

Well, you both seem very friendly.

If you knew him in London, why didn't you introduce us? Now, don't be silly,

Christian. He's a client, that's all. Yeah, from what I saw, he seemed to be

more than that.

How long have you known him?

Not long. About six months.

Where did you meet him? Came into the shop to buy some clothes.

Hello.

How extraordinary.

So this is your Christian.

Why extraordinary?

We've sort of met before.

Yes.

Sort of.

Well, there's no need to introduce you then.

Give me a hand with this, will you, darling?

Oh, yes, sure.

Maurice, honestly, here we are on a beautiful beach, and all you can do is

sleep. My dear girl, you woke me up in the early hours just because you wanted

a dip in the briny. What more do you expect?

I'm very tired. Not another one.

Christian's just the same. He'll be down on this beach at the...

Put some oil on my back, will you, darling?

Oh, can't you do your front first? I've just got myself comfortable.

There must be quite a lot of money in this decorating business.

I say, do you know a chap called Bernard Collins?

We've met.

It seems Amanda knew him in England.

Come on, I'll buy you a drink.

Oh, good idea.

Too damn hot sitting here all day. And boring.

Let the girls have a chat.

Quite a man, your Christian.

Yes.

He is.

There we are.

Same again.

Cheers. Cheers.

You two known each other long? About ten minutes, to be precise.

The girls introduced us just now on the beach.

Yes, I saw you.

Your wife, she's very attractive.

Well, actually, she's not my wife.

Well, this is the life. I must say it's wonderful to get away from it all.

Yes, beautiful.

Well, you must tell her so yourself.

I'm sure she'd be flattered.

Mr. Du Barry, there is a note for you.

Thank you.

Could you put me through to Miss Hartman's room, please?

Hello. Sophie, it's Christian Dubarry.

Who? Christian Dubarry. I've just received your note.

Oh, hello.

There was no need to thank me for last night.

I'm sorry, but when anybody does something for me, they're usually after

one thing.

Look, why don't you come up for a drink?

Well, um... It's all right.

You're quite safe.

Yes, but... The room number is 21.

I'm in. Thanks.

How do you know what I drink?

I know men.

I hope you didn't mind coming up.

Mind?

No.

This is far more fun than sitting in a bar all day, talking to a lot of boring

old men.

You seem to suffer from the same troubles I do.

Everybody has troubles. Yes, I know. I should stop feeling sorry for myself.

Oh, I didn't mean that. Yes, you did You know two years ago. I was just an

ordinary girl working in an office earning pennies peanuts

Do you want to go back to that?

Sometimes On the whole I prefer my life as it is now in fact a

few years from now I'll be able to afford a lot of things I never dreamt of

having.

People in this job get very lonely sometimes.

Take me, for example.

In the evening, surrounded by men who can never do enough for me. But during

the day, they're with their wives, and they pretend I don't exist.

Even the staff avoid me.

Well, I want to know you.

I wonder.

This place.

To see me so lonely. Lonely?

Maybe we're all lonely.

Rubbish.

Why don't we stay here and get drunk together?

No, I must go.

But if you ever need to talk to anybody, please come to me.

I will.

I promise.

Kristen.

Add a note to this, will you, darling?

How did you get on with Bernard?

Any good?

Yes, I think so.

It's a bit of luck bumping into someone like him. It's the last thing I

expected.

We'd better keep in with him.

You're already in with him, darling.

Well, don't go too far.

But far enough.

Is that it?

No, of course not.

Just be friendly, that's all.

Michelle's quite a girl.

Isn't she?

I'm coming in.

Oh, it's cold. Oh, come on. Here you go.

No, it's warm.

Oh.

Coward.

I thought we were going to have a swim. No, I have changed my mind.

Would you like a cigarette? Yes

Who

gave

you this?

Amanda? A long, long time ago.

I'd hate to lose it.

Do you know, at this time of morning,

nobody would know we were here I

think it's time I got back

come

on

you lazy thing

Why is that girl nodding at you? You don't know her, do you? Oh, yes, I met

her the other night when I was talking to the manager.

She's a nice kid.

Isn't she? Yes, so what?

She's a person just like you or anybody else.

Here's our friend.

Maybe I can do some PR work for you.

No, you just leave this to me.

Oh, good morning, Bernard.

Now, what are you drinking?

Oh, yeah, sure.

Who's going to pull this with me?

I will.

What did you wish?

Well, if I tell you, it won't come true.

Now, who feels like a swim?

Not me.

Then it looks like you and me.

Now hold my hand.

Here.

Let me do that for you.

Nice.

What we need is a little exercise.

Let's go up under the rocks.

No. Now I'm gonna wake you up if it kills me.

Well, where is everybody

You mustn't be so impatient.

Yes? Hello, Christian.

Oh, hello.

Has Amanda finished my dress?

Wait a minute.

Have you finished altering Michelle's dress?

Yes.

It's on the end of the bed.

Oh, Michelle?

Yes? Yes, it's all ready for you.

Good. I can wear it tomorrow, then.

Well, if you want it for the morning, I'd better bring it along now.

Thank you very much.

Are you sure?

It's no trouble.

Merci.

I'll see you in a minute.

I'm just going to have a drink, darling.

All right, darling.

Christian.

Hello, Michelle.

How's that for service?

From Amanda, with love.

Merci.

Where's, uh... Where's Maurice?

It's all right. He's downstairs.

You should always wear a towel. It suits you.

I don't think the head waiter would approve if I arrived like this for

dinner. Oh, I don't know. I think Maurice would be more embarrassed than

anyone.

Maurice!

Relax.

Can I have my room key, please?

Yes, sir.

Hello. Good evening.

Going to the casino tonight, Mr. Howard?

Yes, but I left my wallet in my room.

Thank you.

On a lucky streak?

No, as a matter of fact, the old system is letting me down at the moment.

Want a new one?

Any good?

It won 20,000 last night.

Really?

A little bio-drink.

You see, I was with this woman from the casino last night.

It's very bad to bottle things up inside.

There's no time.

Morris will walk in in a minute and that wouldn't be a joke at all.

I'm going to have a very large drink.

I should really have a very cold shower.

Christian du Barry.

Have you seen my husband anywhere? I saw him a short while ago. I should try the

bar. Thank you.

You're all alone?

Could you bring me a dry martini?

I'll be in the alcove.

I'll have it sent out to you.

That was a narrow escape you had just now.

What do you mean?

Do you usually visit other girls' bedrooms?

I, uh... Quite a Casanova, aren't you?

Why didn't you stay a little bit longer?

Because I knew what would happen if I did.

Would that be so awful?

Of course not.

It's just that... Don't tell me you're afraid. It doesn't fit in with your

character.

Or are you just having fun with as many girls as you can while you're here?

You will forget me when you're back in life. I... Like everyone else.

Look, Sophie, I like you.

With you, it's different.

Is it the body?

You stay here.

Mandy. Leave me alone.

Oh, please, Amanda. We were just having a drink, that's all. Please leave me

alone. I want to be on my own for a while.

Look, if I can't just buy somebody a drink... Oh, yeah.

Oh, for God's sake.

Come back, Amanda. Don't be so bloody stupid.

Stupid?

Listen, I know all about your affairs you were having in London.

At least there you were discreet about it.

Here you don't care who knows?

Well, at least with me it was just a little harmless fun.

Well, what about you and Bernard?

You beast!

Fun for you, maybe.

Does that silly little tart in the bar make love better than I do?

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to. I didn't mean to. I love you.

I'm sorry.

Love? Why can't you love just me? Let's go home now, man.

Tonight. Now?

Yes.

Yes? Miss Yandali, are you all right?

Harmless bum!

You bastard!

I don't know what came over me. I... I've never hit her before in my life.

What about Michelle?

I... I just don't know.

When she's with me...

She seems very important, but when she's not there, I'm not sure.

Christian, I have to go out for a while. I want you to be here when I get back.

Then we'll work something out.

No, I must go. No, please.

I insist.

I'll be very hurt if you go.

Let's have some more champagne

Please excuse me. I've got a bad headache.

Stupid whore.

Stupid whore?

You are right.

I am a tart.

But you, such a grand woman.

Silly little child.

You don't even know how to keep a man happy.

In fact, your man is in my room now, trying to get away from you.

Do you understand?

He's trying to get away from you.

This feels much better

I

Wish I'd met you two years ago Why

You could have made love to me without knowing who I am

don't talk about that again

I haven't made love willingly to a man for a long time.

Oh, Christian.

Christian.

Oh, make love to me.

No, Sophie, please.

It's Michelle, isn't it?

It's not only that.

I don't know.

You could try loving me.

At least I've got more love for you than Amanda and Michelle put together.

Look at me.

Christian.

It wouldn't be fair to either of us.

You are worried.

Why? If you really want to help me, be a friend.

Just that.

I'll always be that.

Isn't it marvelous that she's gone?

What is the matter?

It is what we wanted, n'est-ce pas?

Is it?

Come on, let's go for a swim.

Michelle!

Darling. Christian.

Amanda? Malma?

4139.

No, I'm sorry, Christian. She doesn't want to speak to you.

I'm sorry.

It was a good idea anyway.

Was it?

You haven't even mentioned the contract.

You know, what Bernard Collins can bloody well do with that.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Look, you've just got to see Amanda somehow.

Tell her the whole thing was a stupid mistake.

She refuses to talk to me.

Have you been to the boutique?

No, not yet.

Well, why don't you pick her up tonight?

She'll have to see you then.

Do we have to go back to Christian's house?

It's my house too, Bernard.

All right, Amanda.

All right.

You're not going to get her back by lounging around looking miserable all

day. She's worked herself silly in that boutique just so that you could build up

the practice, whilst you were sweating away in the arms of some dolly bird.

How do you think she felt?

It's up to you now to persuade her somehow you're good enough for her.

But honestly, I don't think you deserve her.

Michelle Howard phoned this morning.

Michelle? Christian, you want to see me?

Yes, of course I want to see you. I have so much to tell you. Well, I can't talk

now.

Listen, I'm taking Jason out this afternoon. I'll pick you up as well.

Wonderful. At 3 o'clock? Yeah, 3 o'clock's fine.

Au revoir. Bye.

Bernard Collins is here. He wants to see you.

What about?

He didn't say.

Well, I don't want to see him. You've got to see him.

Read this.

If you've come here to run messages for Amanda, you're wasting your time. I want

no favors from you.

I don't do favors, Christian.

You behave like an absolute bastard to Amanda, but then I hope you realize that

yourself. You're unspeakably selfish, and your private life is a mess. Oh, for

God's sake, stop preaching at me.

You're right.

You're simply not worth it.

This is the contract.

Make sure that he accepts.

All right, come on, Jason. Bye, Jason.

There we are.

That's it.

Whoops.

Bye, Daddy.

There we are. Bye-bye.

Off you go to Granny.

That's it.

Granny, the zoo.

We've been to the zoo.

Oh, did you enjoy it?

Did you, darling?

Yes.

That's a lovely teddy bear.

Did Daddy buy it for you?

Michel.

I think he likes you.

It seems so.

You really adore that kid, don't you?

More than anyone else in the world.

Aren't you pleased we are together again?

You know, this morning I wondered how I'd feel when I saw you.

And?

Let's go back to my place.

What about Morris?

He's away for the week.

Michelle? Yes, darling?

Listen to me for a moment.

Oh, I'm so happy.

Oh, Michelle, please.

When we were in Italy, we decided that we needed and loved each other.

Maybe I meant everything I said.

Sometimes I'm not sure.

I lived with Amanda for four years.

I loved her.

I can't forget it in a few days.

But she doesn't want you anymore.

Can't you see that?

All I know is that we are both together again.

And I love you very much.

Make love to me again.

No, sir. But you still can't get hold of him?

Sorry, Mr. Collins.

Well, keep trying.

And if you do manage to find him in the next hour, get him to call this number.

Damn.

Oh, not again.

You've hardly said a word to me since you arrived.

Amanda, I do have a business to run.

I'm sorry.

But it is important, I hope, for both of us.

Amanda, if you leave Christian, you won't have to work.

You can give up the boutique and then you and Jason... Hello?

Where the hell have you been? I've been trying to get a hold of you all bloody

day.

Christian?

Hmm?

Why don't we go away for the weekend?

Maurice has a little cottage in the country. Well, I don't really know,

darling. I wanted to see Jason this weekend.

Just for once?

It would be nice.

Just the two of us.

Let's leave early tomorrow morning.

All right.

I'm sure we could manage.

Well, you've got the weekend to think about it.

But I want your answer first thing Monday morning. All right, Mr. Collins.

Goodbye.

I know you're worried about Jason.

But he's very young.

What he needs now more than anything else is a sense of security.

This I can give him.

I think I could be more useful to him than Christian.

And I'll spend as much time with him as I possibly... What's the matter?

I'm sorry, Bernard.

But it won't work.

There's a good boy.

But, darling, are you sure the Christian's really worth it? Please,

Mother, now, don't go on.

Come on, Jason.

We're going home.

Liz, have you any idea where Christian might be?

It's a weekend. He might be anywhere.

Liz, please.

It's important.

I can't be certain, but I have an idea he may be with a woman called Michelle

Howard.

Would you like me to telephone her for you?

No, it's all right.

Jason's in a taxi.

I'll go round there.

Can you fit this into your case? Ah, I just think so, yes.

Darling, we really must hurry.

Yes, all right.

I will go downstairs and lock up.

Hello, Amanda.

Hello. Is Christian here?

Christian?

I don't understand.

Do you know where he might be?

I don't know. I'm sorry.

I see.

Amanda!

Go on.

Daddy!

is the splendid illusion.

Love is the lock sewing high.

Life is a lonely confusion.

Nothing gives us peace.
