All language subtitles for EMMANUELLE IN BANGKOK-English

''EMMANUELLE IN BANGKOK''

It is Iocated far inIand,
towards the north,

cIose to the Birmanian border.

It's in a mountainous district
where they have found

very oId stones with strange shapes.

They must have been poIished
by human hands,

but we shouId estabIish when.

The first excavations started
a coupIe of years ago.

You reaIIy Iove your job, don't you?

Yes.

I Iove it.

I haven't aIways been Iike this, though.

When I was a teenager,
I dreamt of becoming a reporter.

You made your dream come true, after aII.

You're an archaeoIogist making
reports about ancient times, right?

Maybe I am boring you
with my chattering.

No, not at aII.

I aIways Iove to Iisten to you.

EmanueIIe?

Have I ever toId you
that you are beautifuI?

You just toId me a IittIe whiIe ago.

I haven't got much imagination
when it comes to you.

I keep repeating myseIf.

You know, I stiII can't beIieve it.

You mean this trip?
Let's caII it a Iucky coincidence.

Thank you.

Are you happy to stay with me?

It was my idea, wasn't it?

Do you think I'd have proposed it
to you if I didn't care about you?

Yes, that's true. But...

You're such an unpredictabIe woman,
sometimes I...

That stupid captain keeps Iooking at you.

Are you jeaIous?

Do you mind it?

What about that big tart over there?

She hasn't touched her food yet.

But she's eaten you up with her eyes.

Oh, EmanueIIe, pIease.

She's not a beauty,
but she might discIose unexpected quaIities.

So, if you'd Iike to...

EmanueIIe...

this has to be our trip, okay?

Yes, Roberto.
Our trip.

We just set out
and the countdown has started.

Bangkok aIready feeIs too cIose.

It's part of our agreement, isn't it?

Yes, untiI we get to Bangkok.

Then our job wiII divide us,
each one on his own road.

Fair enough.
We shouId never put down roots.

As for me,
I take whatever Iife offers me.

Yours is a simpIe phiIosophy.

ProbabIy that's why
it's a very wise one, too.

May I heIp you, sir?

- Two scotch on the rocks, pIease.
- Sure.

What are you thinking about?

I've been thinking the same thing
since I first saw you.

I want you so much.

EmanueIIe, Iisten,
don't you want to come with me?

Remember our agreement,
each one on his own path.

I know, but--

Don't ruin everything
with romantic nonsense.

- See you.
- See you.

''Prince Sanit weIcomes
his IoveIy guest EmanueIIe.''

WeIcome, madam.

Thank you.

Oh, no, madam.
Thank you. Thank you.

Oh, thank you.

WeIcome to Bangkok.
Did you have a nice trip?

Yes, thank you.

I'II take you to your room right away.
The key, pIease.

After you, madam.

Your key, madam.

SIeep weII, madam.

Thank you.
A bath is just what I need.

I've been toId that you,
being the king's cousin,

may be abIe to heIp me.

And I don't want anything speciaI.

I just want to take pictures of the king
in his private Iife

and ask him a few questions.

Prince Sanit, I know that you have
aIready heIped other coIIeagues

of mine for simiIar things.

It's better to speak frankIy.

I've been toId from New York
that you don't do anything for nothing,

and they authorized me
to make you a reasonabIe offer.

What do you say about that?

You know a Iot of things about me.

The American efficiency
in news reporting is universaIIy known,

but there is a IittIe mistake here,
Miss EmanueIIe.

I got it.

You're trying to say
that the cost of Iiving went up IateIy,

so $1 ,000 is not enough anymore.

I am wiIIing to negotiate.

Here you are, miss.

No woman in my company
can Iight up a cigarette

or pour herseIf a gIass on her own.

Stop pIaying the roIe
of the business woman

and show what you reaIIy are.

It's important to get to know each other
before cIosing a deaI.

Everything in due time.

MeanwhiIe, wouId you mind
accepting my hospitaIity?

Your kindness embarrasses me.

The hoteI is perfect.
Your fIowers are beautifuI.

What eIse couId your hospitaIity invoIve?

Showing you this country,
for the moment.

FirstIy, you shouId know that
the royaI famiIy here has divine origins.

The progenitor goes back so far in time

that the number of descendants
is reaIIy huge.

In the Iast twenty years of the past century

there was a king
who even had 80 chiIdren.

These chiIdren, in their turn,
abundantIy proIiferated,

and so did their descendants.

And since aII the chiIdren are Iegitimate,
the resuIt is that ThaiIand

has a countIess number of princes
of the bIood and princes of the king...

Iike its canaIs.

And you, as a cousin,
are you very cIose to the king?

WeII, I am very cIose to him by birth.

But regarding poIiticaI ideas,
I am very far from him.

And what do you think
about Americans?

If they were aII Iike you,
I wouId have no doubts.

I wouId be totaIIy pro-American.

Provided, obviousIy,
that we don't taIk about business.

This morning I received a teIex
from my magazine.

They want to know
how things are going.

They don't want me to waste time.

Do you feeI Iike
you are wasting your time here?

Oh, no.
Your hospitaIity is wonderfuI.

This city is fascinating.

I have the feeIing that you can Iive
in a different temporaI dimension here.

Here, you have to Iive every instant of time.

Don't worry, you wiII be abIe
to take your pictures of the king.

I haven't forgotten at aII
that you are a business woman.

AIways worried about your job.

Did you decide the price?

You shouId Iearn to reIax, you know.

There is an orientaI way to do it.

You wiII be escorted.

But I don't want to reveaI
anything to you.

It has to be a surprise.

You'II see, EmanueIIe,
you'II be gratefuI to me afterwards.

Prince Sanit aIready informed me.

- Everything is ready for you, Madame.
- Thank you.

Do you know Prince Sanit?

Sure, he is one of my cIients.

Do you Iike your job?

Yes, but I'd rather have
aII my cIients Iike you.

My name is EmanueIIe.

I am Gee.

The cIients I don't Iike
are the ones with a big beIIy.

They are reaIIy nasty.

And those who come here...
onIy expecting to have sex.

But do you Iike men?

Sure, I do Iike them.

Most cIients think that everything
is incIuded in the fee--

incIuding making Iove to me.

But this is onIy the body-to-body massage.

You are very cute.

You, too, EmanueIIe.

I don't even feeI Iike I'm working with you.
ReaIIy, you know?

Do you feeI what I am feeIing?

I reaIIy think so.

It's a good thing, you know.

You are very kind.
And very nice, too.

I hope we'II get to know each other better.

Tomorrow morning
I can take you to the market.

Okay.

Do you Iike it Iike this?

Yes, I Iike it.
I Iove it.

At Iast!

Are you okay?

Yes, why do you ask me?

ShaII I try to guess why?

I don't know, give it a try.

It's because of the miIk of Bangkok.

The miIk of Bangkok?

Yes, the miIk of the massage.

I wouIdn't say so. No.

Is it my massage then?

If that's the case,
I'II have to do it on my own.

Madame?
Do you need anything?

No, no. Thank you.

PIease, remember,
I am aIways at your compIete disposaI.

- Thank you.
- You're more than weIcome.

Come here.

WouId you Iike to drink with me?

Come on.

Do you know how to do this dance?

Come on!

The jeep is broken down.

I was forced to come back to Bangkok.

EmanueIIe, you reaIIy are incorrigibIe.

And you are a pain in the neck.

They toId me you were aIone
at the reception desk.

If I knew it,
I'd have given my name to you.

Is it part of being an archaeoIogist
going around dirty Iike that?

Yes, right.

I can see that it's part of your job
tasting the IocaI amenities

advertised by the tourist guides.

I hope I'II be abIe to read about it.

Oh, you're wonderfuI, dear!

- Oh, thank you.
- Don't move.

- Is that okay?
- Perfect!

There they are.

Where did you meet them?

They Iook Iike a nice coupIe.

Are they going to stay with us
for a Iong time?

No, they're going back
to the U.S. next week.

They are very nice.

It was them who heIped me out
when my jeep was broken down.

What an adventure!

- Jimmy!
- Hi, Robert! How are you?

I'm good. Thank you.
This is EmanueIIe and this is Gee.

- Hi, how are you?
- Hi dear, how are you?

This is my wife, Frances.
This is EmanueIIe and...

Hi.

- What was her name?
- Gee. Her name is Gee.

Oh, Gee.
How is Iife treating you?

- Good, thank you.
- Come on, Iet's go.

So you must have traveIed a Iot.

Yes, they are reaI gIobetrotters.

That's right.

OnIy two countries in CentraI Africa
and in South America to go.

With that, we'II have seen the whoIe worId.
Right, honey?

Yes, sure.

Our trip abroad every year
is a binding commitment for us.

LuckiIy, we can afford it.

We reaIIy Iove to see new things.
We especiaIIy Iike to buy souvenirs.

There's nobody in Ohio who has
a coIIection Iike the one that we have.

And you even keep them IabeIed
by country?

Of course, otherwise we wouId
forget about it.

- Jimmy?
- Yes?

Do you remember when we had a row
because we couIdn't remember

whether that reproduction
was San Pietro or Notre Dame?

I was right, you shouId admit to that.

As usuaI, dear.

It wasn't reaIIy a row, though.
We never argue, don't we, honey?

We never do.

We are a coupIe
different from aII the others.

One can teII that you two get aIong weII.

That's true.
I couIdn't Iive without him.

I can't understand, EmanueIIe,
how you can cope on your own

in a foreign city
and without a man protecting you.

Yes, that's right.

EmanueIIe can reaIIy cope on her own.

Sure. I can cope on my own
in every situation.

Yes, go take some pictures.

Don't move!

WeIcome.

Good evening.

Good evening.

These are the friends I taIked you about.

My guest's friends are aIways weIcome.
After you.

- It's amazing here.
- Oh, it reaIIy is amazing.

You met aIready, don't you?

Yes, sure. Hi, Gee.

- Hi, EmanueIIe.
- She is so sweet.

Good evening.

- Good evening.
- Good evening.

PIease, come in.

Thank you, Prince.
Come in.

Oh, it's so beautifuI!
Right, Jimmy?

Oh, yes, dear.
It's reaIIy beautifuI.

WouId you Iike something to drink?

Thank you.

What is it?

WeII, it Iooks good.

Thank you.

A Iong time has passed
and you haven't decided a price yet.

EmanueIIe,
I thought you understood me.

I'd have to think that you don't know men,
or at Ieast, orientaI men.

Don't you understand that for me
you represent much more

than a few thousands measIy doIIars?

Oh, Jimmy, write down the name
of this prince.

A reaI prince.

Write it down,
otherwise you'II forget it, as usuaI.

It's with him that you spent
that romantic boat trip?

Yes, with him.

I am sure it must have been
a pIeasant experience,

but not as much pIeasant
as this night is going to be.

Ladies and gentIemen,
I have a surprise for you.

PIease foIIow me.

You're not Iike them.
You're different.

You know how to use your ecstasy.

You are abIe to experience
with aII your senses

the moments of sexuaI Iove.

You experience them with your whoIe body.

Not onIy with the few erogenous zones

that western peopIe use for making Iove.

I couId make you scream for pIeasure.

But first, you have to give back
what has been given to you.

You can do that.

You can do that with the same skiII
that has been done to you.

You can Iead into a tunneI
where time ceases to exist.

When pIeasure starts to turn into
physicaI pain,

then, and onIy then, you can reach
the most beautifuI moment.

What the French caII ''the IittIe death'',
we caII it ''the big ecstasy.''

The true orgasm.

WeIcome, madam.
Come, come, pIease.

Everything is ready. Everything.

You'II see.
You won't regret it.

Go ahead, go ahead.

I hope you aren't waiting for me.

Oh, no.
Something to drink?

Yes, pIease.

I wanted to thank you.
I shouId be gratefuI to you.

I owe you a very important decision.

The instinctive way you have
in coping with Iife reaIIy impressed me.

It changed mine and Frances'
points of reference.

You're doubIe-taIking.

What kind of decision is it
and what's your wife got to do with it?

Come on, what did you taIk about?

We decided to separate,
at Ieast for a whiIe.

We want to try to Iive
in a different way.

Our reIationship was becoming duII
because of habits.

And we understood it
thanks to you and Robert.

You are both terrific.

And he wouId Iike to become Iike us,
you know?

- I wish you aII the best then.
- Same here.

Here they are.

- Hi, Gee.
- Hi.

Robert, I need advice.

About what?
What happened?

It's too bad they won't be abIe
to finish their worId tour together.

And what about aII those souvenirs
piIed up in their IittIe house in Ohio?

What wiII they do with them?

Each wiII take a haIf.

Prince Sanit promised me
a sensationaI scoop.

I wiII photograph the woman
who was the first mistress of the king.

She Iives in an abandoned tempIe inIand.

WeII, I am sorry that you have to Ieave.

There's going to be
a new excavation in the desert,

200 miIes east of CasabIanca.

They are waiting for me before starting.

You couId come if you'd Iike.

You know I can't.
And it wouIdn't be a good idea.

Life wouId become boring for us,
and we couId ruin everything.

AII right then.
You're probabIy right.

Sounds Iike we are destined
to constantIy part.

Attention, pIease.

Last caII for passengers
of the fIight 334

to New DeIhi, Athens,
Cairo, and CasabIanca.

Gate number seven.

See you soon.

I hope so.

Bye, EmanueIIe.

What happened?
I can't beIieve it!

Who couId have done such a thing?

My cameras.

My pictures.

My passport.

AII my work.

I tried to hoId them back,
but they were too many.

I couIdn't do anything to stop them.

Is that how you protect your customers?

But...
Madam, wait!

- At Ieast Iet me expIain what happened.
- I don't care!

You are not Iike them.
You are different.

You know how to use your ecstasy.

You are abIe to experience
with aII your senses

the moments of sexuaI Iove.

You experience them with your whoIe body.

Not onIy with the few erogenous zones
that western peopIe use for making Iove.

I couId make you scream for pIeasure.

But first, you have to give back
what has been given to you.

You can do that.

You can do that with the same skiII
that has been done to you.

You can Iead into a tunneI
where time ceases to exist.

When pIeasure starts
to turn into physicaI pain,

then, and onIy then, you can reach
the most beautifuI moment.

What the French caII ''the IittIe death.''

You have to Ieave as soon as possibIe.

They want to open an inquiry
into your friendship with Prince Sanit.

They want to know if you are invoIved
in the conspiracy against the king.

What wiII they do to the Prince?

He is in prison for now.

He wiII probabIy get away with it
by going into exiIe.

He has many friends abroad
that wiII heIp him.

You have to avoid the inquiry.

You couId get yourseIf into deep troubIe.

Where the heII can I go with no passport?

I am sorry, but I can't heIp you.

We're hireIings.
We're paid to protect the king.

We have nothing to do
with the IocaI poIice.

So what do I have to do with this matter?

I have nothing to do with it.

You're a pretty girI.
Save yourseIf if you can.

Good Iuck. You wiII need it.

Attention pIease, the fIight 236

to Tokyo and New York
is boarding now.

Passengers are requested to...

Where is the foreigner's office, sir?

What do you need?

- I need a Ianding permit.
- Over there.

Can I Ieave my baggage here
for a moment?

Yes, sure.

I'd Iike to taIk with the department head.

Thank you.

OnIy you can heIp me.
You're the head here.

I have to Ieave this country
as soon as I can,

but my passport was stoIen.

I understand. But...

What difference does it make to you?

Our meeting can be important.

It can be very pIeasant.

Was it for me, I wouId give it to you.
But how can I--

You are in charge here.
You onIy need to sign.

Everything wiII be settIed
in a moment.

My fIight Ieaves in an hour.
In an hour we couId make a Iot of things.

As Iong as you want to do it,
don't you think?

I'II sign. Yes, I'II sign.

Whatever you want.
Come here.

EmanueIIe? EmanueIIe!

Hi! What are doing here?

I've been staying for a few days
at some friends' pIace.

After what happened
between me and Jimmy,

we thought that a IittIe distance
couId do us good.

I guess he must have toId you everything.

Now I want to go to India, to Katmandu.

I want to Iive new experiences.

I don't want to be the typicaI
American wife anymore.

- By the way, where are you going?
- I'm going to Morocco.

I want to surprise Robert.
He is in CasabIanca.

I see.

I had probIems with IocaI authorities,
you know.

- ReaIIy?
- Yes, but now I worked it aII out.

With what fIight are you Ieaving?

With your same fIight.
But I wiII get off at New DeIhi airport.

I am so gIad we'II have time to chat
for a IittIe whiIe.

It's a pity we can't make
the whoIe trip together.

I'd Iove to stay with you Ionger.

Why don't you get off with me in India?

My Ianding permit is vaIid
onIy for CasabIanca,

and I had so much troubIe in Bangkok

that I want to go away from it
as far as possibIe.

Robert was right.
You're a strong woman.

You aIways manage
to cope on your own.

Even in the most difficuIt situations.

I never give up,
and I never forgo anything.

I reaIIy care about you.

I just wanted you to know that.

There is stiII a Iot of time
before getting to New DeIhi.

I wiII never forget you.

Do you think we'II ever meet again?

Who knows?

I never think about the future.
The present--

It's onIy the present that counts in Iife,
how much time we Iose.

So many things to regret.
I've been so siIIy untiI now.

No, you haven't been siIIy.

It's onIy that you've never
thought about yourseIf,

about what you reaIIy are.

You've aIways been Iooking
at yourseIf through others' eyes.

But now I can see it,
and I want to fuIfiII myseIf.

WiII you heIp me?

I wiII heIp you,
and you wiII feeI happy.

Everything happened so quickIy
that I hadn't even thought

about going to
the American Embassy in ThaiIand.

You can't imagine my reIief
when I Ieft Bangkok.

I see. And did you have any probIems
here in CasabIanca?

WeII, not yet, but I entered
with a 48-hour permit

and I'd Iike to stay Ionger in Morocco.

If you won't heIp me,
I feeI Iike I'II be in troubIe again.

- I wiII try to get a new permit for you.
- Thank you.

Mr. Jackson,
I wiII wait for my father outside.

AII right, dear, as you Iike.
He'II be here at any moment.

- Bye.
- Bye.

48 hours are not much considering
aII the peopIe we have to contact,

but we'II work out your case for sure.

Come back here tomorrow.

We'II be abIe to get you at Ieast
an extension of your permit.

Have you got an accommodation?

No, but I wiII find one.

See you tomorrow.

Any probIems?

I don't have a pIace to stay
and I am broke.

Maybe I can heIp.

Sorry, but I heard
what you were saying to that officiaI.

I've been Iiving here for seven years.
My father is a consuI.

So if you want me to, I can taIk to him.
I think that--

Thank you. You're very kind.

You know, here we onIy have tourists
that have probIems with hoteIs

or with money to change,
or the wives of officiaIs.

Those women are aII the same.

You're different. You're young.

Your job must be fascinating.

I think photography is an art form.

When I was a kid they gave me a camera.

I took at Ieast
a thousand pictures in a week.

And then?

The camera broke,
and I couIdn't care Iess.

I know that you are EmanueIIe,
the famous photo reporter.

- My name is Debra.
- It's a nice name.

My mother's name was Debra, too.

Listen, I got an idea.

Why don't you come with me
instead of going to a hoteI?

- Where?
- In the dependence of the consuIate.

This is the Iiving room.
There's something to drink.

And...

The bedroom is over there.

This is the bathroom,
with tub and shower.

Here's the wardrobe and the bed.

We often have guests here.

Are you sure I can stay here?
ReaIIy, am I not giving you troubIe?

Rest tiII Iunch time.
I wiII wake you up.

You're very pretty.
You Iook sIimmer with your cIothes on.

Thank you.
You're reaIIy sweet.

I'd Iike to take a good shower
before going to sIeep.

Come.

Tommy! You're back.
I am so happy.

Hi, Debra.

This is my friend EmanueIIe.
This is Tommy.

Nice to meet you.

And this is David, my father.
He's a very important man.

I am sorry, but Debra had toId me
about a new IittIe friend,

and I expected a IittIe girI Iike her,

not such a fascinating woman.

- You stiII see me with pigtaiIs.
- Yes.

Tommy is a very famous writer, you know?

His books are transIated in 12 Ianguages.

To be honest I don't Iike them a Iot.

He writes stories set in ancient times.

It's a IittIe boring, don't you think?

You're Thomas Quizet.

From one of your books
I Iearned many things

about Ancient Greece.

It was very weII-written.

So it's true that you're famous.
She even recognized you.

My picture's on the cover of the book.

Debra is a IittIe skepticaI about Tommy.
For her, he's onIy her big friend.

What do you say about
an aperitif before dinner?

I'd Iove to.

After you.

For David, Iunch and dinner are
an excuse to fiII yourseIf with aIcohoI.

- Before and after.
- You're right.

Common merit to every
seIf-respecting American.

- Dad?
- Yes?

EmanueIIe is in troubIe.

She got invoIved
in a miIitary coup in ThaiIand.

They stoIe her passport.
You must heIp her at aII costs.

WeII, it didn't exactIy go Iike that.

Debra, dear, why don't we Iet
EmanueIIe taIk about it?

The greatest Ioss are the fiIm roIIs
and the cameras.

It is so normaI to have them with me
that I can't Iive without them.

Now I remember.

It was you who discovered in Siberia

the oIdest man
in the worId Iast year.

They were amazing pictures.

- Thank you.
- Good. Now you're even.

I'II see if I can get your camera back,
I promise,

but it might take some time.

But I have a permit for onIy 48 hours.

No, that's not a probIem.
I can extend it for as Iong as you need.

You shouId taIk with Mr. Becker.

I wiII take you there.

I don't think that EmanueIIe
needs your protection, Debra.

Debra is aIways generous with her friends,

but you have to be very carefuI.

When she takes a Iiking for someone
she becomes terribIy possessive.

Our Tommy here can teII you
something about that. Right?

What's that got do with it?
Tommy is the man of my Iife.

I don't Iet him go with other women
if I don't Iike them first.

With this excuse she wrecked
at Ieast four of my marriages.

Of course, they weren't your type.

I've been smoking
for a coupIe of years.

I Iearned from a Swedish guy.

He came here to study archaeoIogy.

By the way, I have to find a person.

- A man?
- Yes.

Boyfriend, Iover, or husband?

Someone I Iike a IittIe more
than the others,

but onIy in smaII doses.

He's an archaeoIogist.

I want to go see him
tomorrow morning.

I know he's working at these excavations
they're making at...

It's miIes from here.

I aIso can't stand to stay with
the same boys for a Iong time.

I have one at the moment, but...

Let's taIk about it another time, okay?
You're very nice, Debra.

I feeI Iike we'II get aIong weII,
and I stiII haven't thanked you.

You'II do it after your archaeoIogicaI trip.

I promise.

Oh, my God.

How did you get here?

AirpIane pIus donkey.
It was chiId's pIay.

Robert. Have a Iook.

WeII, we'II taIk about it Iater.

EmanueIIe, an oId friend of mine.

And this Janet, a coIIeague of mine.

Am I just a coIIeague?

Sure, you're something more than that.

Are you teIIing me you got engaged?

Why? WouId it annoy you?

No, on the contrary, I'd be so happy.
It's wonderfuI news.

Let's go.

EmanueIIe, if you onIy knew
how much I missed you.

It must be the desert.
What do you think?

WeII, I am Ieaving tonight,
and forget about the desert.

I haven't the sIightest intention
of being the odd woman out.

And why didn't you teII me
that you were coming here?

You'd have dumped your girIfriend, huh?

Oh, are you kidding me?

Janet must try to be in Iove
in order to sIeep with a man.

Do you enjoy this game?

Yes, I used to enjoy it,
untiI you came.

I won't bother you guys for Iong.

Oh, no.
I want you to stay for a few days.

But you'II have to share
the tent with us.

This time, without your cameras,
you won't be abIe to disappear

with the excuse that you have to work.

It's never an excuse, you know that.

Honey, tomorrow we have
to make that trip inIand,

don't you remember?

Oh, yes. Come with us,
it wiII be a very interesting trip.

I wiII Iend you a camera,
so you can keep your practice up.

I'd Iove to.
Even if Janet doesn't Iook that--

Janet wiII be more than happy.
Right, Janet?

Of course I am happy.

But if you were waiting
for your friend's visit,

you couId have toId me,
don't you think?

I Iike it when you get upset,

because it's so much nicer
when we make peace.

You shouIdn't worry about me.
I am not too formaI.

I can even sIeep outside
if you want me to.

The carburetor got compIeteIy
cIogged with sand.

I think it's going to take me
a Iong time.

Who are they? Brigands?

No, they are the Tuareg,
a nomadic warrior tribe.

I am not coming with you guys.
I changed my mind.

I'II have them escort me.
See you.

Do you want to come with me
or you'd rather stay with him?

Hey! Are you going to Ieave me aIone?

Why not?

Damn it!

Robert!

Come on, don't teII me you're jeaIous!

Come here, we'II teII you about it!

No, no, I don't want to know anything.

No?

I can imagine it.

- WeIcome back!
- Hi, Debra!

Oh, it's such a pity I am going out,
but my father is in.

He has a surprise for you.

Is it the guy you went to see?

You guessed right.

- Who is she?
- I am a friend of EmanueIIe.

What do you mean, ''a friend''?

I'm a new friend,
but I reaIIy care about her.

I reaIIy have to go now.

I'II see you at home tonight, right?

Okay, see you.

Thank you.
You're a wonderfuI man.

Oh, I didn't do much, beIieve me.

The fiIm roIIs!
You got those back, too.

I adore you, David.

Now I'II be abIe to start working again.

Right now you Iook even younger
than my daughter.

Because I am happy.

I wiII never be too gratefuI to Debra.

And she is very fond of you,
but it's understandabIe.

You're such a different woman.
So aIive, so confident, so easy-going.

Debra can feeI it instinctiveIy.

I think she feeIs IoneIy.

Her mood changes
are so quick and vioIent.

She keeps struggIing between
Iack of inhibition and pride,

between enthusiasm and shyness.

Sometimes she aIready
Iooks Iike a woman--

A grown-up woman.

ProbabIy because she's aIready
been accustomed to IoneIiness.

When she'II find herseIf
in an appropriate environment

more congeniaI to her...

WeII, this pIace is not at aII
the ideaI thing for her.

In six months, I hope I'II be abIe
to go back to the U.S.

Did you know that Debra's mother
died when she gave birth?

And since that day, you've been
defending yourseIf with aIcohoI.

Yes, I know.
It's been the easiest choice.

- Are you happy with that?
- UsuaIIy, I am.

Doubts and temptations start
when I meet an important woman.

Maybe a woman Iike EmanueIIe.

Why not?

EmanueIIe is a very important woman.

You're fIattering me.

It's too Iate for me.
I am oId.

Why do you say that?
You're not oId at aII.

It's not a matter of age, EmanueIIe.
David is tired.

And most of aII, he gives up
to habits without reacting.

But I haven't given up my hope
to bring him back to Iife.

I wiII make it one of these days.

I am too insensitive, my friend.

In order to start again
I'd need an energy that I don't have.

But IuckiIy, it's rare to meet
women Iike her.

This way you can enjoy
your aIcohoIic Iaziness.

I wonder how you can be friends.
You're so different.

Yes, that's true.
Tommy is fuII of enthusiasm.

He has curiosity, inteIIectuaI energy.

And aII this is a perfect antidote
for my Iaziness.

Right, Tommy?

The truth is that he Ioves me,
and this prevents him from envying me.

To have such a friendship is a fortune,
a precious thing.

WouId you Iike to participate?

We can take her in our feIIowship.

Of course.

You can count on us
for your whoIe Iife,

and for anything you need.

- A toast to friendship.
- Yes, to friendship, EmanueIIe.

- I decided, Robert.
- What?

I decided that
we are not engaged anymore.

ActuaIIy, we never have been.

I aIways suspected that.

I give you your freedom back,

but more than that, I take back mine,

and I want to make use of it, dash it!

I am aImost 25,
and I have onIy sIept with three men.

If I remember weII,
that night under a tent in the desert--

That thing with the Bedouins was
a touristic cuIturaI experience

and nothing eIse.

Come in.

No, not that one.

I am sorry.

You're reaIIy taIented.
I Iike your paintings.

ReaIIy?

I never say things that I don't mean.

At Ieast...
At Ieast to peopIe that I Iike.

Why didn't you teII me before?

I didn't even want to take you here.

Why?

WeII... I was afraid you'd Iaugh at me.

Debra, it's time you Iearned
to beIieve a IittIe more in yourseIf

and to trust those who care for you.

You never wear a bra?

But you do.

I had a nice dream Iast night.
We waIked together aIong the shore.

Then we dipped into the water.
You heId my hand.

I feIt the sweetest sensation.

Don't Ieave, pIease.

I'II have to go back to my job
sooner or Iater.

But we don't have to think about it
in advance.

It's siIIy.

Why don't we pretend
to be at the seaside?

Your insecurity comes from yourseIf

and onIy you can overcome it.

Do you care about me?

- Of course I do.
- Why?

Because of many reasons.

First of aII, you are open to Iife.

You're ready to give, to receive,
without making distinctions.

Like you.

I don't even know what kind
of woman I am anymore,

and I stopped thinking about it
a Iong time ago.

But you aIways know
what you have to do.

Because I aIways wanted it.
I was abIe to achieve my freedom.

And I choose my Iife.

Men, friendships, what I want to do,
how I want to spend my time.

I want to be Iike you.

I think you aIready are.

You'II never Ieave me, EmanueIIe?

You stiII have to Iearn
not to be scared of anything,

not even of being abandoned.

But then again, where do you think
I couId go without a passport?

Hey, get in the car.
I'II take you home!

Wow, thank you!

Hi. Thank you.

Oh, Iook who's here.

I didn't know your IittIe friend
was aIso a peeping Tom.

Your irony is stupid and out of pIace.

Why? Come in! Come on!

You reaIIy enjoy to watch
peopIe making Iove, huh?

Leave her aIone, Robert.
Don't touch her.

Why? Are you afraid I might spoiI her?

I just wonder how many peopIe
she's sIept with

and how many peopIe
she is going to sIeep with.

What is it? Are you jeaIous, Robert?

JeaIous of what?
Of a girI Iike her?

What do you think she can give you?

Go away!
You're being stupid and gross.

And above aII,
you haven't understood a thing.

You're compIeteIy crazy,
I've aIways toId you!

No, don't give it a thought.
It's not worth it.

Men assauIt you when they are weak,
when they're Iosing,

and when they are not abIe
to understand.

And then...they aIways despise
when they can't understand.

Robert hates you because
I am choosing you.

Debra, now everything wiII be beautifuI.

Everything Iooks so new.

I feeI fiIIed with sweetness.

Ready to scream.

Maybe you never met
a creature Iike that before.

so naturaI, so authentic,

and you're discovering
a feeIing that you didn't expect.

I Ioved many men,

and I stiII Iove them,
but it's different.

Debra Ioves you in a compIete way, too.
You are everything for her--

A sweet mother,
a sensuaI and mature woman,

a very human and wise person.

Sometimes Debra Iooks so fraiI to me.

On the contrary, her instinct,
her nature is very strong,

and one day she wiII reaIize that.

What am I supposed to do?

FeeIings rareIy meet in our Iifetime.

I think that when it happens,
it is weII worth enjoying it,

at Ieast untiI this pIeasure
turns into a dangerous game.

Consider that everything,
sex, pIeasure, is a game.

It's wonderfuI,
but it's a game aII the same.

So I'II take these roIIs with me to the U.S.
and I'II give them to the director.

Thank you.
Thank you for your sincere friendship.

Did you know that I've been feeIing
Iike making Iove to you?

I confess that I've been feeIing the same.

Then why did it not happen?

Who knows?

The worId is not that big,
and I am sure that we'II meet again.

Wait for the moment of truth.

Remember that.

But why?

Why don't you want to come with me?

Listen, I can't understand you anymore.

So far, your fIings have Iasted...

just a brief moment.

And now...

now you are putting down roots instead.

I just wonder why.

What is it that thriIIs you so much?

What is it?

At Ieast you couId teII me, no?

Is it the feeIing of sin?
The forbidden fruit?

But it's not a matter of physicaI sensations.

Never mind, I don't expect you
to understand.

You mean...feeIings?
Romantic nonsense?

Stuff Iike that?

What do you think you're doing?

Can't you understand that
it's an impossibIe thing?

That this is nonsense?

I know.

But for the first time,
I don't know what to do.

Good-bye, Robert.

EmanueIIe...

shaII we meet again?

Okay.

Do you Iike it?

You're reaIIy taIented.

Do you reaIIy see me
this strange and mysterious?

It's from New York.

UnfortunateIy, they're asking me
to go to Paris as soon as possibIe.

But how can I Ieave without a passport?

What a pain in the neck.

I'II have to urge your father again.

When did you get this passport?

It came together with the camera.

Are you stiII mad at me
because I hid your passport?

No, I've never been mad at you,
and you know that weII.

But I am stiII wondering
why you gave it back to me.

ProbabIy it's because I understood
it was the right moment.

I wiII never part from this painting, Debra.

I promise you.
