My friends.

That

I wish she could hug her this morning angle.

Good morning, Miss.

Good morning.

I came to pick up your hands yesterday.

Is this his gustado ?

What's this you talking about?

I'm not interested in anything beautiful.

In this case, you came to the right.

There are many beautiful things in here.

You just have to know how to choose.

What period is this sofa?

Late 1800s. Actually, it comes from a famous Parisian brothel.

Brothel?

That's right.

You know, I'd like to hear it's story.

It might shock you.

Not likely.

As I said, it was a famous house in Paris.

The latest thing in elegance.

With priceless furniture and curtains.

Mmm.

And, I can tell you that this very sofa is a subject of a legend.

And I don't think you'll be surprised to learn that it concerns a lovely girl.

What else, really?

But how much do you want?

Since you like it so much, I'll make you a special price.

I don't really have a lot of money to spend.

Well, that's not important.

We'll talk some more later.

My hunch is that we'll manage to reach some kind of understanding.

Amazing.

You simply rushed up against it.

It was a miracle.

The sofa came to life.

I expected you to say it.

And I expected it.

I expected it to happen.

But as you say, let's talk some more later.

Did you send for us, Miss?

Yes.

I'm terribly sorry to have to give this bad news to you and Abigail.

But I'm afraid I can no longer afford to keep you on.

But what are we going to do, Miss?

How can we find another job so soon?

I'm terribly sorry.

Oh, Miss, we'd both be happy to stay on the reduced wages, if that would...

No, I'm afraid not.

I'm just going to have to do everything myself.

And you know what terrible shape the greenhouses are in, don't you?

They're not bringing in anything.

It'll be a shame not to fix them up.

I have to say that at the moment they don't interest me at all.

Well then, goodbye, Miss.

Thank you, Howard.

I hope you don't forget about us, Miss.

I'll be calling you both as soon as I'm able to.

Thank you, Miss. Goodbye then.

Thank you.

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you.

They delivered the divan, so I had it set in the green room, all right?

That's just where I wanted it.

Take care of yourself.

Thank you again.

And there it is.

My red sofa.

He said the legend was that a beautiful young girl's soul is imprisoned inside it.

I wonder if it could be mine.

The lady of the red sofa.

That's what they all used to call me, the clients and the other girls.

Oh, it's as soft as it was then.

Touching it still gives me the same feelings, the same desires that it did so many years ago.

Giva, there's a party of gentlemen for you.

She's more beautiful than they said.

No, don't move.

Stay stretched out on the sofa, like that.

What's her name?

Just the lady of the red sofa.

Go on, my dear. Keep on touching yourself, like that.

Yes, yes, my bad.

Touch yourself, touch yourself.

Yes, don't stop.

Go on, go on.

Sit down, my dear.

Back, back, back.

Come on.

Are you offering me a ride?

Sure, hop in.

Hey, thanks.

Any place you happen to be heading to is just fine with me.

Terrific.

I'm not going to go to the beach.

I'm going to the beach.

I'm going to the beach.

I'm going to the beach.

I'm going to the beach.

I'm going to the beach.

Just fine with me.

Terrific.

Glad you came by.

Not many cars coming down this road, I'll tell you.

Where are you going?

I'll let you.

Like I said, nowhere, really.

I just want to see the world.

And just want to be that there.

This? It's my house. I carry it with me.

Something tells me your house is like a shower.

Yeah, kind of kitchen.

I'm going to the beach.

Well, here we are.

Boy, what a place.

This is a trolling.

From 1934.

Who let it fall apart like this?

Can you realize what a fantastic car this is?

Oh, come on. It's just no junkie.

No junkie?

If we put it back together, it would be a classic.

Forget it. Come on.

I'm not kidding. I'd love to work on it.

Just keep moving.

I've never seen a chassis like that.

All my life.

I can tell you, I think I didn't love it.

Does it take much, does it?

Seriously, I'm crazy about her.

You're crazy, all right.

I'm going to be the happiest man in the world.

A couple of months. Well, that's a great place to learn from.

Good night, Ian.

This is your room.

A real bed.

I'd forgotten what one looks like.

How bad if I fix you something to eat?

Aren't you even a little hungry, huh?

Or maybe just orange juice?

Hmm.

Here. When you're ready, put on these clothes.

You're old and too disgusting.

How can you say that?

I've only been wearing them for five years.

They're practically brand new.

Oh.

Well, then you've got to go.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

Well, then you've got five years of dirt in you.

You could use a tub or shower.

A shower?

You're beginning to talk just like my mother.

No, forget it.

Come on over here.

No, no tubs for this guy.

Come on.

We have to scrape the incrustation of five years' grime off your hide.

But we really need you to sandblast her.

So what? It's hot.

I'm beginning to think this is your first contact ever with a tub.

And now mama's going to make sure you get clean all over.

Hey, no.

You don't have the first thing about that.

No, I want you to sit down.

There's some.

Clean back.

Good.

You want me?

Yeah.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

That bath does look inviting.

It would be a shame not to take advantage of it.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

I'll get wet.

That takes two of us.

Mm.

No, better stop me.

Well, I did offer you breakfast after all.

I know the duties of a hostess.

Mm.

Mm.

Yes, I like that.

Oh, I knew you'd try that.

You see, I can read you like I'm sick.

Huh?

A book, huh?

This is just a minor footnote.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Where's your coffee?

Mm, on this note.

Mm.

All right.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

I'm sorry.

Oh, Ben, I want you to stay.

I'll do all the things to you that you never dared hope a girl would do.

You won't be sorry.

My darling, you can have everything you want, anything in the whole world.

What I want?

Yes.

Well, I'm crazy over that Sotron.

Why don't I work on it?

Then once I get it going, it's mine, okay?

Hmm.

Ask and you shall get. Wish granted.

What's wrong? Won't you like chicken?

No, it's just that I'm not hungry.

I'll take care of it all.

You live alone? This place. It's so big for one person.

Don't you have a husband? A boyfriend?

I'm a recent widow, you see. I inherited this when Johnny died in November.

It's quite a house and a large estate.

I suppose it'd be a lot better if it were managed by a man.

Well, it might be one day soon.

How come? How come you brought me here with you?

Why? Aren't you glad you're here?

Oh, yes, sure.

But you know, I never stick around very long in one place.

Don't get me wrong. I'm grateful and all that, but...

I'll move along.

I don't mean tonight or even tomorrow, but you understand.

Well, I'm going to put on a little music, okay?

Hey, how about a dance, huh?

No?

Sure, come on.

Okay. One dancer, male. Coming up.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Damn it.

Hey, would you listen to that?

That's my kind of music.

Oh, you deserve a kiss.

No.

It's a bird. It's a plane.

It's a supercar.

It's a supercar.

Whoo-hoo!

I'm a genius.

I'm a genius.

Fantastic.

I love you, little car.

Hmm?

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Ow!

Oh, God!

Damn it.

Oh.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Oh, Eva.

Do you have anything I can put in this burn?

You're such an idiot. You really could have hurt yourself.

Here, I'll take care of it. Come over here and sit down.

You know, the motors in those foreign cars are so complicated.

Four tubes and wires and gizmos I never saw before.

It was confusing.

I mean, at least I got the motor turning over.

Okay. We're going to copy a cure from the animals.

The animals' book?

You idiot.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Interesting treatment.

Only I wondered, does it work out for the pain?

In a while.

You'll know when it hits.

I'm sure I saw that boy with a hermetic around here somewhere.

Only this time, I'm not leaving him here.

He's coming home with me.

I'm not leaving him here.

He's coming home with me.

The red sofas made me feel alive again.

Oh, there he is.

Hi.

I like the way you play.

What's your name?

They call me Sam.

I'd like to buy some flowers.

Okay, Sam?

Ma?

I'm not going to buy flowers.

Ma?

Ma!

You got a customer.

All right, hold your horses.

Here I come.

Would you believe it? I've never seen anything like that.

But the dead bees have got in this building.

There's not a one of them to pay.

Well, they haven't heard the last of this, not by a long shot.

Hey, you don't live here, do you?

No.

Well, it's a good thing. If you did, I'd take you right out.

Those dead bees don't pay for anything.

Not light, not heat, nothing.

I haven't paid the rent in over ten years.

But I'll kick them out. I'll kick them out on their duffs.

You'll all be out on their duffs.

Lay off, Ma.

Hey, take no notice of her. All of you.

She's really gone.

I'll get the police in here. They'll fool around.

They'll kick them out on their duffs.

Because if you don't pay, you've got no right to a rope over your head.

Understand?

They think the world's free or something. How about those guys?

Are you the owner of the building?

Me? No.

We haven't even got enough money to buy the flowers.

There's a whole damn building.

Ma, I'm taking your son with me if you don't mind.

You want him? What the hell for?

No, forget it. No.

The nerve. She just walks up and says she's taking my son.

Don't be too hasty, Ma.

I ought to knock her on her duff.

That's what I ought to do. Come in here like she owned the place.

So please, watch.

Watch who?

Watch the lady. See what I mean?

Go with the lady.

I will. I'm not kidding.

I'm really going.

Just get out of here. Go.

What are you taking me, pretty lady?

Hey, don't forget one thing.

Be here tomorrow or I might worry.

I got four kids.

Spread out through the city and not one of them ever comes by.

Jeez. What a place you got, lady.

Glad you like it.

I'll give you a hug.

It's okay. You can get out.

Dan, I brought you some dumplings.

Hi. Hi.

Welcome aboard.

Hi there.

Uh...

Can you play that thing you're holding?

If you hear me, don't stop me.

You get dangerous.

Dan, right.

I'm more into taking older, red cars apart and then trying to get them back together again.

Eva wanted to throw it away.

I asked if I could futz around with it so she let me in.

I got it working again.

You know, there's mostly a problem with the carburetor.

French cars usually have a carburetor problem.

At least all the ones I've ever saw.

Complicated as hell.

I bought you each some presents.

Oh, I'm sure you're going to enjoy being here.

It's so isolated.

Such pure air and more to.

You'll be hungry all the time you're here.

Hey, look. Who is she?

I'll tell you.

She fixes up old wrecks like I do.

Only her thing is for broken down boys.

But she's really a terrific lady.

And you can believe it, kid.

Hear the word? She satisfies.

This really kind of blows your mind, doesn't it?

This really kind of blows your mind, doesn't it?

Yes, the bottle needs finishing.

But either of us is eligible to do it.

Understand? Thanks.

It's a good wine.

The vines are on the grounds.

I never had homemade wine before.

And now here's the coffee. Thanks.

It's not just the wines.

Almost everything you'll eat here

comes from one of the fields that make up the estate.

Wow. It's a real shame they're not better taken care of.

Like them? No, thanks.

I'll stick with the wine.

Okay.

Your man can he corrizz the Isaiah?

He won't do anything much.

Sarah.

Stop.

She's straight and源.

Qian, how's it going?

This here boy is tired. Sacking up time.

That's it.

Well, be good. Good night.

Are you sleepy too?

No. Pretty alert.

Boy, you look...

like a queen on a throne.

Nothing, he looks like a queen.

I saw him for a moment.

I thought you were sleeping?

No, I wouldn't look that way.

Like a queen on a throne.

Sam, come over here.

I... I really don't know a lot.

Don't worry.

Just relax.

I'll be right back.

Oh...

Oh...

Oh...

Oh...

Oh...

Here I come.

Hey, I've got to keep two guys.

Don't disturb the driver.

What a big tree.

Anyone know what kind it is?

You know, it make a brand.

It's a not whole tree.

Morons. It's the two of you.

So they're morons, are we?

Well, morons are not.

Wait, come on. You're the one who's sitting at the bottom of the driver.

Go out and join!

We're here.

OK.

Move left down.

Open main touch of the door.

All personnel on the ground.

You got it, Captain Kirk!

Oh, no.

Careful with that hamper.

You got it, Captain Man.

Oh!

What did you do?

Give me your little baby.

Daddy will carry you.

And I'm the trusty native bear.

That's right.

Hey, don't go so fast.

Don't shoot her.

Not at all.

I'm not saying he's enough.

I don't know what you're saying enough.

I'm getting heavy.

This is great.

Down you go.

OK.

Hey, haven't I seen this sheet somewhere before?

Idiot.

Hey, even in abkins.

Nothing but the bag.

Oh!

Down.

Ah!

Oh, that feels good.

That sure does.

Here.

Hey, what sort of heat?

Oh, all sorts of stuff.

Oh, that's great.

A pineapple.

And here's another one.

Oh!

Oh, now what?

The damn wine.

You got it in the car.

Don't get it like a good little boy.

Even if you're a little boy, you're going to get it.

Oh, that's great.

Oh, that's great.

Oh, that's great.

Oh, that's great.

Oh, that's great.

Oh, that's great.

Oh, that's great.

Don't get it like a good little boy.

Even I get everything ready here.

Hurry back, Dan.

I think I know what you're getting ready.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, Dan, the hell you look.

Hey, you.

Buddy, this car is private property.

What you doing?

Just resting.

What's wrong?

What's wrong, huh?

Listen, buddy, and I'll tell you now.

What you're using as a bed is my car.

I was tired.

I've been walking for ages.

I just curled up in here.

Explain.

What do you mean?

I don't know what needs to be explained.

When I can't hit a ride, I walk.

Simple.

Uh-huh.

Looks like you're one of us.

I think you took the right turn back there.

No.

Use the glass.

Okay.

Here.

With that company, kids.

Look what a nice present I brought you.

Who is he?

Well, I found him asleep in the car.

We've talked for a while, and I invited him to come and have a bite with us.

What's your name?

Jimbo.

Let me guess.

You're 18, right?

22.

23 next month.

He looks like a good boy.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

23 next month.

You look famished.

Have a seat.

Don't stand there.

Dig in.

Thanks.

Here's some bread.

And here's a plate for you.

Thanks.

Hey, don't stand on ceremony, huh?

So, Jimbo, how long have you been hiking?

Oh, two months.

And I think I'm starting to get a bit tired of it, too.

Eva, what do you say we take him home with us?

I should say so.

It seems like a perfect plan.

Yeah, sure.

No opposition.

Great.

Where is it?

Where is it?

I don't know.

I'm just going to get a little bit closer to him.

I think I'll be able to make it.

Let's go.

Bye.

Bye.

Good night.

Good night.

Bye.

I'll come with you.

Well, I'll see you tomorrow.

Bye.

What now?

I can't wait to see you.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

I'm not going to play anymore.

Let's go sit down, okay?

You go ahead. I'll change the record.

Come here. Come here and sit with me.

Hey, hey, Jimbo.

Have the boys explained the situation?

Yeah, more or less.

I want the three of you to be like one person.

How could that be? We're all so different from each other.

It's true the three of us don't have any points in common.

Hey, turn that damn thing down, will ya?

Take Sam, for example.

All he cares about is music.

And the new kid?

Well, he's got his own set of problems.

Anyway, I feel sure that Eva will solve them nicely.

Come on, Sam.

What's wrong?

Nothing. Really, I'm just a little tired.

That's not what I'm talking about.

I'm just a little tired.

Really? I'm just a little tired. That's all.

No, you're frightened. You're frightened of me.

No, I'm not. Good night.

We heard you. Good night.

Night? Okay.

No, it's not that I'm scared, but it's like someone forcing you to drink when you're not thirsty.

I don't know. It's not very appealing.

It seems like something ordinary.

I mean mechanical.

When you just set it up like that. Where's the pleasure in it?

And that's just what it is.

A set up. Nothing more.

Jimbo, you talk too much.

Eva, I don't want you to misunderstand me,

but I'm really tired and I'd like to go to sleep.

Not alone.

It's more fun to sleep with someone you like.

Eva, I'm so tired.

Honest.

We'll sleep later. There's a whole night.

Do you like my skin?

Isn't it smooth? Tell me.

Yeah, but it tickles.

You've got to let yourself relax.

I...

But I just want to sleep. I'm tired.

I'm really sorry, but I just can't.

You're beautiful.

I'm not going to sleep.

I can't. You're beautiful, Eva,

but I just want to sleep.

That's all.

Relax. I'll help you.

This'll help you, Z.

No. I'm sorry.

It'll be all right.

Now.

No. No.

Wait a minute.

This is bound out, but it always does.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Hurry.

Hurry.

I'm waiting.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

We have the whole night ahead of us.

Come on.

Move your lazy butt.

All right.

Come on. You look like you're moving your body.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

You look like you're moving underwater.

Move it.

It doesn't get a wink of sleep last night.

Of course not.

Have you expected to sleep?

Ben, come and kick the ball.

We'll try to finish the rest of the bus.

I wouldn't waste my time on old cars.

If you were a college graduate, you wouldn't say I was.

That proves I'm right.

You don't know what's important.

You're going to move your lazy butt.

important what is it you're going to start moving your lazy

brain is a nice thing to do for Monica come right in the house and eat it before

I melt I got this carburetor but I'll be up as soon as I can we'll be up in a few

minutes yeah

watch this

with great guys 30 seconds later and there's no more ice cream would you have

waited hey Eva are there ghosts in this house by chance no why how about that door

down there by the entrance it's always shut there's something very special in

there like why no big mystery no secrets there's a red velvet sofa up until a

while ago in other words up until they close until they closed what the houses

ago repute what the hell does that mean horror houses to you dummy when they

heard I was going to be born they shut down every one of them well that red sofa

was one of the great attractions in a famous house in Paris think of all the

things that sofa must have seen I know everything it's all and it's no fairytale

it all happened to me this way my soul is imprisoned inside it and now I'll tell

you the first of the tales this is one about an English Lord a lot of my clients

then were more elderly because they were the only ones who did a for me I was very

high price Lord beaman that's what was he was very different as you'll hear he

was very kind and affectionate and one day he told me that he was in love with me

oh you're not sure what I am the list of the

I'm sorry not at all I'm not sure you've been sitting here by certain friends

we haven't gone and I have no doubt what's the matter

a friend in common speak very highly of you my lord he told me it would be coming

here only for the lady of the red sofa I told her all about you and she's eager

you know she's the pride of the house my lord the feather in our cap I'm sure you'll

understand why in just a few moments I will leave you now my lord

I wonder who you were and I was right I was afraid that that at the fatal moment

you'd turn out to be an entirely different woman than you are closing but it really

is you after all I follow you every morning as you leave your house on rubles

on them but you'll never pay the least attention to me not that I blame you in

the slightest my dear and yet it sometimes happens that even elderly gentlemen fall

and I have fallen in love with you as if I were the mirrorist stripling I follow you

as you walk down the street with that inviting step of yours in great fascination

I observe your naitis and I imagine them to be as smooth as the cheeks of an

alabaster cupid and I hope you will allow me to confirm their calipidious

perfections with my own eyes of course my lord if that is your wish please go

right ahead that is indeed my wish and there's my pen well my lord indeed I shall

this is a ham of purest race serene this is the damask cheek I would feed on I pray

you lie down let my twin orbs start from this way how's that splendid

it's impossible to say where the silk ends and your skin begins

I must kiss you I simply must my lord you know better than to ask oh it simply

isn't done make an exception for me and you won't regret it well since you insist

one though all right and from that day on Jeffrey he allowed me to call him that

began seeing me daily and the presence he brought were gorgeous what was his thing

where do you like to do he'd find pleasure in even just looking he saw them

touch me then what one day darling there was a present like no other what a

tool ring and gold it had blinded your eyes I want you to listen I want you to

know the things I feel with you I've never felt for any other woman I've

decided you deserve a reward you're going to reward me give me your hand

there is to show you what it is in short Eva I want to marry you to mean that yes

with all my heart I beg you say yes and over here is where we used to have the

greenhouses and the potting sheds and all that they're sure in terrible shape I

know no one's really ever looked after them since my husband died it's awful what

a wreck discouraging I wouldn't know where to start working let's go see what's

over there where they're sure this place could sure stand an overhaul shame

they've let it run down like that I know it I never saw such giant spider webs in

my life yeah careful you'll have a head full of spiders I haven't been here in

years just look at all that what are these

bulbs can't you tell I'm an expert runs in the family there's lots you could do

here funny looking down to you mean the flower comes right up out of the top here

right we could make a pretty place these flowers huh who needs to what I think we

can make us a little money for ourselves we fix things up yeah I suppose you can

always sell flowers well it's just not sort of jump into it let's buy some books

I don't know this boy doesn't need a book to know you have to start by cleaning up you

know it's an idea we might think it over seriously I'm all for it you might

just enjoy it too I wouldn't be a bit surprised okay you ready

hell three aces you haven't got a chance go ahead forget it talent and ability

does it every time young man talent and ability you got two more chances here we go

you should be around look at that you've shifted your bad luck right out of me

yeah he's been winning all night and he complains hey look who's here

hi you're throwing away your money we're not that away you know we haven't got

much but what we have we need we decided to pool all our money we've been feeding

the kitty for a week now hey great what about you he went on this too I like

I'm glad you like it everyone went crazy about it back in parents you really like it

it's such a pretty color yeah the color is great and so is everything else

sensational my only objection is that it was meant to excite libido it's a flower

of evil like Baudelaire wrote about you know French poet the flowers are who

left little demand I never heard of those can we get the seeds from the

catalog and you're the college graduate well I thought it was an inspiration to

put it on tonight what a choice when I put it on I began to feel the need to

come down here and tell you another of my story hey great let's hear it yeah but

not here for the stories we have to go to the green room and sit on the sofa come

on okay let's see it was a dull rainy afternoon and I had spent the whole

morning without a client that was unusual to say the least I heard someone

come into the waiting room and went to take a look it was a man kind of short

and there was something nervous about him he never sat down he just kept pacing

back and forth leaning up against the furniture staring off into space I had

made I was curious I began to hope he had asked for me

you

may I come in yes of course come on

you're nice thank you come on why the masquerade it was the only way I could

get into a place like this and meet a woman like you

you you won't have me thrown out will you no only make sure madam Rose doesn't

know anything it'll be good I'm open to any experience will this be your first

time oh I usually do it all myself but you know it's funny I've been feeling a

terrible impulse to do it just once with another girl

get undressed miss

ah

ah

ah

go away bugs go away hey we got a quick futzing around buy that automatic

sprinkler okay let's do it we can't stop now that's for sure go away and

besides it's fun evil was right hey you know when you come right down to it we've

done miracles here guess how many carnations I counted I don't know three

thousand really yeah man three thousand look that's the boy it's all his fault

well you read as many gardening books as I have I guess you got to learn

something there they are my three little gardeners working their tails off who

would have believed it I tell you if you think about what it looked like a while

ago it's amazing the things we've done it's as though they found a new toy I

wonder how long it'll take me to break it I was thinking and I got this idea we

should put all the flowers in these real nice colored boxes we match the color

of the box with the color of the flowers see and put them out for sale I tell you

people will stop and say what fantastic looking flowers that's not bad but you

thought of it so it's your project no one else is gonna help anybody who tries

to muscle in I murder I was thinking today there are these new orchids they

don't cost much to raise so we could sell them at a low price too but the girls

that go crazy you could push on mother's day and Valentine's day hey Jimbo really

understands girls in spite of all the reading he does I might just go on up to

the house and I think the three of you should come with me I have some champagne

on ice hey sounds good soon as we're through here we'll come over but I would

tell you that there was a legend concerning this sofa I was told about it

by one of the girls she said that there is in prison in here the soul of a young

lady and only on the day that a virgin would be deflowered on this to van would

the spirit of the young girl be liberated well one afternoon I was peeking

into the waiting room as I always did to see what clients were there and wonder

if they had asked for me I saw a mature woman who was talking rather

heatedly with a young man he seemed very upset about something and she looked

like she was trying to calm him down it wouldn't have been anywhere near the

first time I had taken care of a couple but there was something very unusual

about these two and I began thinking that it was going to turn out to be a

tiring session but the way things turned out well obviously I was way off the mark

all the time by the way that year the British must have taken parrots by storm

no no absolutely not look what a terrible place you brought me to

and they don't carry on like this don't you see the wretched dust and grime

everywhere I'm going to lose my reason I say matey can't we just go home darling

please I wish to enter a nuller prosecque

and listen to me yes you know perfectly well I'm only doing this for your own good my dear

why must you be so stubborn you know who you should have brought here papa he'd

really appreciate it darling a painter doesn't even know the places like this exist

he's Lord Beaman after all you're a ladyship good day oh madam rose it's his

first time but of course yes he's still really just a baby and he's terribly

afraid you must not worry he'll be in the finest of hands I promise you you see I

wouldn't like it to be a traumatic experience for the ladyship we're serious

professionals here he's so timid oh one thing just so old 28 but I'm willing to

pay any amount to true then we shall have no problem yes it's true going to get along

just fine won't be able to go so much you're a no mother and no dear no fly fly you must

fly I said fly the lady of the red sofa has many lovely games to play with you fly

send down a nice cup of tea thank you but will the lady be gentle oh yes she's an artist the

best now do not worry it's all right

Just try, please. Try for me.

Yes, that's right.

Very good, Antony.

Very good.

Oh, my. Oh, my word, Antony.

Didn't you say this was your first time?

But it is the first time now.

Only when the minister comes to visit my mind,

look and see through the keyhole, and now I know why.

At a certain point, he starts saying,

I'm coming, I'm coming.

My only really urgent problem

was trying to get that kid to stop.

I say kid, it was 28.

And it occurred to me,

I wonder if that young woman saw his feet that evening.

Hey, play us another song, Sam.

Oh, I tell you that.

Which one? Which one do you have?

I see two of them here.

This is the left one.

Children, I think we've done it.

We've worked enough to keep three factories going.

Thirty factories.

Do you know the only thing we need to make our lives complete now?

Just a client or two.

One step at a time, boys. One step at a time.

Is there any left in that bottle?

Why did you turn into such an old son?

And you realize,

once we were three useless kids,

and now we're three useless drunken kids.

But at least now we know every goddamn thing there is

and all about drawing flowers.

I got paper opener.

And we did it all with our own six hands.

We can be proud of it.

How damn good.

Good idea what we can do with our lives.

Emma, come forth.

That'll be always come first.

Well, gentlemen, it's our life, lady.

Welcome.

Hey, come on, boys. You're just getting late.

Time to go home.

Come here and have a drink of this, huh?

Oh, poor little thing.

Come on, let's go home.

Oh, yeah, have a drink.

Come on.

Please.

You don't even want to go home.

Only if we all go together.

United ways, sir.

It's really afternoon.

Have a shirt.

Oh, my God.

I'll be back.

There's two of you here.

All right, bye. Good night.

Sweet dreams.

What's on the agenda now?

Nothing.

You're going to go to bed.

No, I'm scared of the dark.

You've got to come too.

This is a terrible way to end the evening.

Good night, sweetheart.

Hi, boys.

Hi, Eva. Hi there. Hi.

I was thinking we might all enjoy taking a little trip somewhere.

Take a few days.

Maybe at the beach. You haven't been to Capri?

Never.

Did you say Capri? But, Eva, look.

Do you realize everything we have to do around here?

We've got a business to take care of, and it has to come first.

Don't be mad, Eva.

But this isn't the right time to leave.

A lot of things are just starting to bloom.

He's right, you know. It's the season for weddings, too.

We've got a strike while the iron's hot.

Maybe in a month or so.

In a month. I've got the picture.

Eva.

Eva!

Okay, kids. Everything ready?

You kidding? It's been ready for an hour.

And let's get it loaded.

I hope the hell everything fits in there.

What happened to that pick-up you usually drive?

Oh, it's at the doctor's.

This will do all right.

There we go. Good-looking stuff, huh?

I gotta admit it. You three sprouts know what you're up to.

Watch out with that big one, huh?

Don't worry. I know a few tricks myself.

And don't go too fast.

You're worse than my mother-in-law.

We didn't forget something, did we?

It's all there. We'll be down tomorrow to set up your range.

Okay. Hey, drive nice and slow, huh?

Anything you want me to tell the boss?

Yeah, tell him to practice his signature.

We'll be expecting a check before we come into town.

Okay, good enough. See you later.

We've got a lot of work waiting for us in town.

Yeah, I figure three days at least.

What do we do about Eva? Just leave her alone?

Sure. Do you think she won't survive three days without making it?

It just doesn't seem all that nice of us.

Well, lay off, will you? Business is business after all.

That's right. Business is business.

I've been trying to forget that with our little games together,

but now I'm afraid the fun is over.

I'll be back.

Okay, I'll be back.

I'll be back.

I'll be back.

I'll be back.

I'll be back.

I'll be back.

I'll be back.

I'll be back.

I'll be back.

The fun is over.

You know why I'm here.

I'm not alone.

I'm not alone.

I'm not alone.

I'm not alone.

I'm not alone.

Hello?

Hello? Mr. Montready?

Mark, do you...

Yes, who's speaking?

Don't you remember me? You're at Sulfur.

You forget easily, don't you?

Oh, Eva, what a pleasure this is.

I presumed you'd move somewhere. How you been?

Not so damn good. Trouble, as you know.

I need your help, would you...

Why, sure, I'd be glad to.

It's a matter of what's going on.

I have to pay the inheritance duty.

It's a much larger amount than I thought.

I could lose the entire estate,

so it occurred to me...

the furniture to sell some.

Yes, absolutely. I'm positive I can help.

Be a pleasure.

We'll have to meet and talk it over.

Of course.

Are you free now?

No, I'm afraid today there's a big load of appointments.

How's tomorrow? I'll come by the villa.

I can look at the furniture.

Fine, Mark.

After dinner, all right.

I'll expect you.

You want to see her? She's marvelous.

I took a lot of work to produce her, too.

Nice.

Son cultiver.

They are cultivated.

They are...

Would you believe that something as gorgeous as this

could come from a little tiny seed the size of a pinprick

and a bunch of dirt?

Then what? What?

There's a doorbell. Donle's Jardin.

We'll get it. In the gardens?

Would you look at this? There goes the bell again.

I'm sure it's for an evil.

Please, kids, don't anybody get up to answer the door.

I'm not here for that.

Hey, we're working. Can't you tell?

You don't mind, Eva, do you?

How could I possibly?

Big K-Lon-Trouve and which are found.

Look what it does.

Come in, please.

It's a remarkable place.

Even though the decor is a bit...

somber, let's say.

All this 18th-century furniture.

These strange pseudo-Corinthian columns.

Then there's nothing you want?

There's something I want very much.

I'm all ears.

Can I see the other rooms?

Later. Come over here, sit down and relax.

Sit there.

Thank you.

Ooh.

But pretty jade.

I'd say middle-ming.

If you'd sell it, it'd be worth a lot of money.

You like it?

Very much.

Above all the color.

It has surprising, almost red highlights.

I want you to have it. It's yours.

You know, jade has always

had a fascination of its own for me.

Have you ever felt it?

I had forgotten.

How beautiful you really are.

What do you want?

Only you.

Is this the size table you were looking for?

No, that's terrific. Thanks.

I wonder what time it's getting on for.

Well, it's late.

I could stand something to eat.

I'll tell you the truth.

That sounds like one of today's brighter days.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'll tell you the truth.

That sounds like one of today's brighter ideas.

What do you say, Sam?

Yeah, what the hell?

Eva, is dinner ready?

Come on in, Ben.

I'm sorry, I didn't know you...

This is an old friend, Mark Benfredi.

Mark, this is Ben.

Hi. Hello.

Sit down, Ben. Have a glass of champagne with us.

Join us.

No, thanks.

I think I'm better off going back

and joining my friends in the kitchen.

Well then, good night.

Good night.

Hey, I'm Star. Let's get out of here.

I see there isn't much chance of you feeling lonely around here.

That's for sure.

They're all very good friends.

Are they jealous?

No, there's everything to slide aside of anything like that among them.

Then it must be a case of generation jealousy.

Here's to you.

Hey there, sprouts!

Who should I give this envelope to?

Here, I'll take it, especially if it's money.

I don't see what else it could be.

Sign here.

Yeah.

That does it. See you around, sprouts.

Thanks.

Hey, kids.

Our first paycheck.

Yeah!

We're the best.

We're the best.

Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.

We're the best.

We're the best.

Look at this. What a beautiful beach.

So have you decided yet when we're leaving?

I find it'll take me about two weeks to make the arrangements.

Is that all right?

Absolutely.

So where are we going? Have you decided?

Can't make up my mind at all.

How about Egypt?

Egypt? It's so far, isn't it?

It appeals to me for that very reason.

It's okay with me. I'll go along.

Okay, E.T. has been decided.

I have to go to the shop now.

And take care of a couple of things. See you in an hour.

Uh-huh.

Excited about leaving?

Uh-huh. Hi, Eva. Hi.

Hi, guys. Where have you been?

In town. Here. This is a present for you.

Oh, thanks. That's sweet.

I have news. I'm going on vacation in a couple of weeks.

To Egypt.

The two of you?

The two of us. Don't you want to see what's inside?

I'll open it later. I guess you better get going.

You're right, darling.

Oh, I just can't wait.

I'm kind of looking forward to it myself.

Cairo.

Why couldn't she at least look at it?

Grandpa, they're starting to be a bit annoying.

You know what the cuckoo does, don't you?

It moves in on other bird's nest.

Not what you would call a nice guy.

And he doesn't just move in either.

He kicks everyone else out so he can stay there all alone.

The real nasty bird.

Yeah, but she cut us out with that old creep.

The hell does she want with him anyhow?

You got to admit that lately,

with the flowers and all, we haven't been paying much attention to her.

Look, work is one thing.

But Eva was something else to us.

House and family. Family?

Yeah, I said family, moron.

I'm glad you went ahead and ate. Mark and I had dinner in a restaurant.

Yes, we went to a marvelous place.

They do great seafood mostly.

You're all invited next time, okay?

Thanks, granddad.

I think we'd bore you.

You know, we'd like to take you out to dinner too.

Or dancing. Or to the opera.

All of us all dressed up. Sitting in the ritzy box.

But just you and the three of us.

All right, just be sure you give me enough time to get to the beauty parlor.

Sure. And I know a place where we can rent tuxedos.

Mark is a house guest for tonight.

Really? Doesn't he save a lot of trouble and just move in?

Mmm, might happen.

Well, boys, good night.

Good night. Good night.

I've got stuff to do.

What's the matter? Aren't you sleepy?

Not even a little...

I'm tired as hell.

I'm only at the pillow soon.

All right, no, no, I am so restless.

I'm going out for a walk.

I'm going out for a walk.

I'm going out for a walk.

Is it all right if I ask you what you're doing?

I was just admiring the work you fellows have done. Congratulations.

Well, just get out.

We can do without intruders here.

Look, I don't intend to argue.

Just calm down.

Calm down when I want to, bastard.

And don't you give me orders.

Don't act like a child.

Poor old guy.

God is brown suit dirty.

You'd better move on, granddad, and fast.

Hey, what's going on? You both crazy?

Son of a bitch was in here spying on us.

That's not the case. I was just admiring the greenhouse.

You don't hit a man who's wearing glasses.

It's better.

Yes, you're right. It's better.

It's better for everybody.

Come on, now, back to the wedding ceremony.

I had a great idea for an unusual color combination.

I thought pink and yellow.

Yellow? What's yellow this time of year?

Well, they're dandelions.

They're starting to flower.

Nosegaze of dandelions just about everywhere.

Yeah, beautiful.

Against roses hardly in Biden, right?

Yeah, but dandelions are free.

Now, our profit come in, chump.

Yeah, but it'd be the talk of the town.

It'd be great publicity.

All right. What went on between you and Mark?

He said you were very insulting.

Damn you're worse than that.

You're out of your minds.

Eva, he was spying on us. Spying on our work.

You are idiots.

He just wanted to be helpful.

We talked about what he could do.

We'll take care of our business all by ourselves.

My God, are you pigheaded?

Mark is a man with a lot of experience.

He knows just about everyone.

We don't want outsiders in our work.

Where is he anyway? Did he go out?

He went into town. He had things to do.

About the opera. We took a big fancy box.

It's for Saturday night. They're doing La Bohème.

All things considered, it could have been worse.

Well, well, look who's here.

Do you have any idea of the hour?

9.30, why?

The four of us had an appointment at the opera, no?

Yes, you're right. I'm afraid I forgot.

But you could have reminded me.

It never occurred to us that we might have to.

Look, we have to have a talk.

Dolly, would you wait for me in the other room?

Of course.

All right, what is it?

It's time you made your choice.

You have to decide. It's either that guy or us.

All right.

Here's my choice.

I need Mark around here.

I need a man in my life, understand?

You mean you're just kicking us out?

You know I've had it.

This ridiculous house, all the flowers.

It's for sales of tomorrow.

You mean even the greenhouses?

They go too.

I'm going to live with Mark now.

Mark is a man.

He's worth more than all three of you put together.

Love is a strange thing, boys, and it chooses strange people and strange timing.

You three are still just kids.

Your life begins now.

Oh, look, you've been great for me.

I really do love you guys, only your phase is finished.

It was great being together.

Now we've got to get on with our lives.

Well, kids, I think the three of us have a real heavy discussion coming up.

You know what I mean?

Well, I know one way of doing it.

All we have to do is dissolve a little curare in her grapefruit juice.

I just happen to have some.

You with me?

You're crazy, Bolton, you.

Now, hold on a second.

There aren't any bigger stakes than the ones we're playing for here.

She's just tossed us out on our butts.

Think it over.

Okay, one envelope for each one of us.

Take your pick.

Okay.

Right.

This is how no one will ever know who poured it.

They're all the same.

They're all the same.

Only one has the stuff in it.

And the other two, there's just sugar.

Okay, fine. Let's get with it.

We emptied the envelopes together.

Into the pitcher.

Let's show her fire. What about it?

We all know the damn procedure. Let's get a move on.

Hi, Eva.

Good morning, boys.

Hi. Good morning.

Would you like your grapefruit juice?

Yes, thanks.

Here you are.

Oh, what's wrong?

You all in a bad mood?

You seem happy as a lark.

I am. I'm leaving for Egypt with Mark today.

How about it?

How about what?

Those long faces.

What's wrong with you guys?

You're starting your lives all over again.

You should be excited.

You can do whatever you want from now on.

You're happy to see us go?

Certainly. It's the best thing for you.

And Mark is coming for you at what time?

Right away. We have to be at the boat dock by three.

Oh, by the way, expect lots of letters and cards.

Yeah, from another world.

You know you're right.

I think how far we're going.

And it almost does seem like another world.

Don't. You're not feeling sick, are you?

No.

I'm just fine.

Maybe a little tired.

But this vacation will do me good.

I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to it.

I know I'll be a whole new person when I get back.

I would have asked you to come with me.

Been just fine.

Look, next time, okay?

Here, take this, consider it a farewell gift.

From all of us to you.

That's sweet.

I'm going to go.

That's sweet.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Well, it isn't perfume, but I'll put some behind my ears anyway.

I think when you get back, we'll be long gone, Eva.

Yeah, that's right.

What's a big hurry?

Oh, last night, we hashed things out.

The upshot was that we realized we've been in your way.

That's not right.

You do need a man.

You're a pretty dumb kid hanging around.

Okay, whether you like it or not, starting as it today,

this wagon's our new house.

Yeah.

That's right.

Okay.

Anyway, it's time to go.

I'll be back.

I'll be back soon.

Okay.

Well, I'll see you around.

Goodbye.

Okay.

Okay.

Whether you like it or not, starting as of today, this wagon's our new house.

Yeah!

It's not as nice as the one we're leaving behind, but it's not so bad.

Hey, come on, lords. Why don't you get in the car? Come on!

Yeah, yeah, here we go!

Here we go!

I'll miss you.

Good luck.
