Short filmTranscript
00:00:00We traveled, we laughed, we argued, we held hands when a film was too sad, we drove too
00:00:25fast, we walked too slowly, we did the decoration of the house and we had
00:00:30discussions about the advantages of life insurance, we did everything that
00:00:34married couples do in general.
00:00:40Then one fine day, a door opened and...
00:00:45Surprise!
00:00:47Come on, Johanna, you knew he was preparing a surprise for us?
00:00:49No, I had no idea.
00:00:51Happy wedding anniversary!
00:00:53Oh, my dear!
00:00:55Mom!
00:00:57Mom, look at you!
00:00:59How are you?
00:01:01How are you?
00:01:03It's great, thank you for coming.
00:01:05Thank you, it's wonderful.
00:01:07Happy wedding anniversary!
00:01:09Come on, I have to introduce you to someone.
00:01:11Oh, you're here!
00:01:13Always so cute.
00:01:15I'm always late.
00:01:17The surprises, congratulations, it's great.
00:01:19You were invited, that's for sure.
00:01:21Hi, Harry.
00:01:23There's really everyone.
00:01:25They threw confettis.
00:01:27Here they are.
00:01:29I missed the confettis, but it doesn't matter, I have a good excuse.
00:01:31You'll never forget what I did.
00:01:33Unpack a makeup stand.
00:01:35We know each other.
00:01:37You've already forgotten me.
00:01:39Leave me alone.
00:01:41Congratulations, my dear.
00:01:43Turn around so I can look at you, you're beautiful.
00:01:45You're lucky I'm married.
00:01:47Why are you showing me these pictures?
00:01:49Look, they're beautiful.
00:01:51Who are they?
00:01:53They're pictures of Boudoir.
00:01:55I should have recognized you.
00:01:57And Burko, one of his friends.
00:01:59All naked with a beautiful gold.
00:02:01And two high heels.
00:02:03It's great.
00:02:05Wait, there's more.
00:02:07It's for your wedding anniversary.
00:02:09A photo shoot for you.
00:02:11It's a beautiful gift.
00:02:13Oh no, it's out of the question.
00:02:15I can't stand being photographed.
00:02:17There's more.
00:02:19To spice up the house.
00:02:21No, it's for your wedding anniversary.
00:02:23It's a kind gesture,
00:02:25but even if you paid me,
00:02:27I'd never do that.
00:02:29Don't judge before you've tried.
00:02:33I'm sure you'll be surprised at the result.
00:02:37You must be happy.
00:02:39Are your kids here?
00:02:41Congratulations.
00:02:43I'm Catherine.
00:02:45I've been in your husband's office for three months.
00:02:47Nice to meet you.
00:02:49I hope he's not too hard.
00:02:51That he lets you come home at least once in a while.
00:02:53We work a lot at night,
00:02:55but he's a wonderful man.
00:02:57I don't teach you anything.
00:02:59Congratulations, darling.
00:03:01Thank you, Mom.
00:03:03You're amazing.
00:03:05But...
00:03:07Where did you work before?
00:03:09In a big office.
00:03:11Dale is an expert.
00:03:13Oh.
00:03:15I have a gift for you.
00:03:17A new mission.
00:03:19A poisoned gift, like always?
00:03:21No, it's an excellent mission.
00:03:23What is it?
00:03:25I wanted to make you curious.
00:03:27I'll tell you tomorrow at the office.
00:03:29Who is this girl?
00:03:31Oh, a lawyer.
00:03:33That's all there is to it.
00:03:35It makes me sweat.
00:03:37I didn't know you had so many friends.
00:03:39They're mostly Dale's friends.
00:03:41Follow me.
00:03:43He's gorgeous!
00:03:45Go on, Johanna.
00:03:53You know what they say about marriage?
00:03:55The only chance you have left is to become an adult.
00:04:01The only chance you have left is to become an adult.
00:04:05You should have said something.
00:04:07Do you remember what you said at our wedding?
00:04:09Wearing a toast.
00:04:15You said you weren't afraid of getting old.
00:04:17But what you were afraid of
00:04:19was getting old without me.
00:04:21Do you remember?
00:04:25Did I say that?
00:04:27Yes.
00:04:31You still think about it.
00:04:37Yes.
00:04:39And then I told the dog joke.
00:04:43Do you remember that joke?
00:04:45Yes, of course.
00:04:57I need to get this done as soon as possible.
00:05:01Hi, Adele.
00:05:03Hi, Johanna.
00:05:05Hi.
00:05:07So, what is this mission?
00:05:09Let's get straight to the point, Harry.
00:05:11I don't have time to waste.
00:05:13Yes, I know.
00:05:15She agrees with the article,
00:05:17but she doesn't want any journalist.
00:05:19The woman in the middle,
00:05:21Mrs. Simone,
00:05:23during the last big reception she gave in Paris.
00:05:25Mrs. Simone.
00:05:27Is she a tenant of a closed house?
00:05:29In a way.
00:05:31It's hard to define.
00:05:33What does she do?
00:05:35Well, she takes her daughters out
00:05:37and finds them in cabaret shows.
00:05:39She chooses their clothes,
00:05:41their lingerie.
00:05:43She even hires tutors
00:05:45to teach them about art, history,
00:05:47wine, everything you can imagine.
00:05:49And when all this work is done,
00:05:51Mrs. Simone publishes her black agenda.
00:05:53And she introduces her daughters
00:05:55to aristocrats, billionaires
00:05:57and prime ministers from all over the world.
00:05:59Are you kidding me?
00:06:01She's a legend in Europe.
00:06:03She's a mother-in-law.
00:06:05You're simplifying the role she plays.
00:06:07If she makes money with that,
00:06:09she's just a middleman.
00:06:11Sit down.
00:06:13She makes money when she introduces them to someone.
00:06:15Her daughters are not prostitutes.
00:06:17It's more like a luxury marriage agency.
00:06:19A lot of her daughters
00:06:21end up marrying a man
00:06:23and start a family.
00:06:25What are you suggesting?
00:06:27I want you to take the plane to Paris
00:06:29and do a report on her.
00:06:31A photographer is waiting for you.
00:06:37I'm doing investigative journalism
00:06:39on important social issues.
00:06:41Port-Gertel is not my field.
00:06:43It's not your field?
00:06:45I want you to do an in-depth investigation.
00:06:47Go see what's going on behind the scenes
00:06:49to find out
00:06:51who this Mrs. Simone really is.
00:06:53I'm sorry,
00:06:55but sometimes a cigar is nothing more than a cigar.
00:06:57A little stay in Paris is not bad.
00:06:59Listen, I understand your enthusiasm, but...
00:07:01No, you don't see anything.
00:07:03It goes over your head.
00:07:05You should rather jump at me and say,
00:07:07Thank you, Harry, it's great.
00:07:09No, this is not the time.
00:07:11I can't leave now.
00:07:13I have to stay at home.
00:07:15I have to see...
00:07:17See what?
00:07:19Do you want to see a sunset
00:07:21or are you talking about your husband?
00:07:23I haven't seen a sunset in a long time.
00:07:25Well, we know each other.
00:07:27You can trust me.
00:07:29What's going on?
00:07:31I don't know.
00:07:33I have the impression
00:07:35that he's thinking about someone else.
00:07:37That he's thinking about her?
00:07:39That's all?
00:07:41Maybe he's not thinking about her anymore.
00:07:43I wonder.
00:07:45If that's the case, I hate him.
00:07:47But I love him.
00:07:49I didn't want to get there.
00:07:51No, but you're going to do it.
00:07:53Except when it comes to her.
00:07:59Anyway, it wouldn't be wise to leave now.
00:08:01So you'll have to
00:08:03entrust Mrs. Simone to another journalist.
00:08:05Wait.
00:08:07If you need to talk, call me.
00:08:11Don't worry.
00:08:23It's late.
00:08:25I had a file to prepare for tomorrow.
00:08:29Where are we both?
00:08:33What?
00:08:35Our life as a couple.
00:08:39I have the impression that you're somewhere else.
00:08:43I'm a little tired.
00:08:45If you have bad news to tell me,
00:08:47don't make me wait for nothing.
00:08:49Listen, Joanna.
00:09:11You can feel that
00:09:13everything has changed.
00:09:15It's not like before.
00:09:17We say hello, we meet,
00:09:19and everyone lives on their own.
00:09:23You're coming home later and later.
00:09:25We haven't made love
00:09:27for two months.
00:09:29If you have the choice
00:09:31between making love
00:09:33or preparing a sandwich,
00:09:35you choose the sandwich.
00:09:37That should have alarmed you, right?
00:09:39No, I was convinced
00:09:41that you had made the choice.
00:09:43I was convinced
00:09:45I was convinced
00:09:47that you were hungry.
00:09:51Joanna.
00:09:53Don't look at us like that.
00:09:55We know it's not going to work between us.
00:09:57Why? I don't understand.
00:09:59What has changed?
00:10:01Nothing has changed.
00:10:03You're still the woman I married.
00:10:07I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand.
00:10:11Before, I needed
00:10:13calm, stability.
00:10:15That's what you meant to me.
00:10:17And now?
00:10:19I have other needs now.
00:10:21They're not the same.
00:10:29In other words, you lived what you wanted to live,
00:10:31you took advantage of me, and now you want to move on.
00:10:33That's not it.
00:10:35Then what is it?
00:10:37I'd like you to be clearer.
00:10:39It's still important.
00:10:43I need to find my space.
00:10:49Your space.
00:10:51We should think on each other's behalf for a while.
00:10:53Take a break.
00:10:57It's not possible.
00:10:59When you've been married for 10 years,
00:11:01you don't say, let's take a break.
00:11:03A married couple doesn't do that.
00:11:07We should go see someone,
00:11:09a specialist who could help us.
00:11:11I'm not sure that's the solution.
00:11:13I looked into it.
00:11:15It's useless, I'd rather end our marriage.
00:11:33I think her name is Catherine.
00:11:37Is that right?
00:11:39That's right.
00:11:55Johanna,
00:11:57is something wrong?
00:12:01When I told you about it yesterday,
00:12:05I didn't think it could be true.
00:12:09What did he tell you?
00:12:11He wants his space,
00:12:13and that we separate.
00:12:17He has another woman in his life.
00:12:19Yes, I see.
00:12:21It's awful.
00:12:23It hurts me.
00:12:25I'm completely destroyed.
00:12:27Yes, you're in shock, it's normal.
00:12:29With time, the pain goes away.
00:12:31The worst thing about this story
00:12:33is that he didn't have the decency
00:12:35to let me fall for a younger woman.
00:12:37She's my age.
00:12:41You'll get over it.
00:12:43I'm sure of it,
00:12:45I've known you for a long time.
00:12:47Do you remember how it was
00:12:49before you met Dale?
00:12:55I don't even remember how it was
00:12:57before I met him.
00:12:59All the memories I have are part of it.
00:13:03Selective memory won't help you
00:13:05It's not a good thing in your situation.
00:13:09Do you know what was the last thing
00:13:11I told him?
00:13:13I don't know what he taught me.
00:13:15I told him he forgot his toothbrush.
00:13:19It's true, that's what I told him.
00:13:25It's unbearable,
00:13:27all these empty spaces.
00:13:29I can't stand being in this house anymore.
00:13:31Just the fridge makes me want to cry.
00:13:35I've had enough,
00:13:37I have to go somewhere.
00:13:39Does Paris still hold up,
00:13:41or did it fall into the water?
00:13:43Paris? Are you sure?
00:13:45Yes.
00:13:47Tell Madame Simone
00:13:49that I'm coming to do her portrait.
00:14:05I'm coming to do her portrait.
00:14:35I'm coming to do her portrait.
00:14:45We'll ask her to wait for you, Madame,
00:14:47and then take you back to the hotel.
00:14:49Very well, thank you very much.
00:15:05Bonjour, entrez, Madame vous attend.
00:15:17Merci.
00:15:19Par ici, s'il vous plaît.
00:15:35Par ici, s'il vous plaît.
00:15:51Vous êtes Johanna Scott.
00:15:53Je suis Madame Simone,
00:15:55votre interlocutrice.
00:15:57Non, non.
00:15:59Je suis désolée, c'est impossible.
00:16:01Je vous rappellerai plus tard dans la journée.
00:16:03Oui, vers 16h, ce sera très bien, merci.
00:16:05Je vous prie de m'excuser.
00:16:07Où en étions-nous?
00:16:09On en était aux présentations.
00:16:11Ah, c'est vrai.
00:16:13Venez, asseyez-vous dans ce fauteuil.
00:16:15Voilà, allez-y.
00:16:17Merci.
00:16:19Vous êtes déjà venue à Paris?
00:16:21Oui, une fois.
00:16:23En voyage de noces?
00:16:25Oui.
00:16:27Vous êtes divorcée?
00:16:29Pourquoi vous me demandez ça?
00:16:31Pour voir ce que vous allez répondre.
00:16:35Je suis mariée depuis 10 ans.
00:16:39C'est vrai?
00:16:41C'est vrai, oui.
00:16:45Je vais vous poser des questions assez générales
00:16:47pour notre première entrevue.
00:16:49En général, j'adore les plaisanteries
00:16:51lorsqu'elles me font rire.
00:16:53Je fume le cigare lorsque l'envie m'en prend
00:16:55et je ne me suis pas offusquée
00:16:57lorsque je vous ai vu froncer votre sourcil gauche
00:16:59en entrant dans la pièce.
00:17:03Nous ferions peut-être mieux...
00:17:05Ne soyez pas sur la défensive.
00:17:07Videz votre sac à main.
00:17:09Excusez-moi?
00:17:11Votre sac à main, s'il vous plaît.
00:17:13Pourquoi?
00:17:29C'est bien, bravo.
00:17:35Si j'avais découvert de vieux papiers de bonbons
00:17:37ou des billets froissés,
00:17:39je vous aurais tout de suite montré la porte.
00:17:41C'est le premier test que je vais subir à mes filles,
00:17:43alors pourquoi ne pas vous le faire passer à vous?
00:17:45Sinon, parlions de vos filles, maintenant.
00:17:47Au lieu d'en parler, je vais plutôt vous les présenter.
00:17:55Oui, envoyez-moi Suzette et Wendy, s'il vous plaît.
00:17:57Bien, madame.
00:17:59Merci.
00:18:03Oh, Wendy. Suzette, voici Johanna Scott.
00:18:05Bonjour.
00:18:07Bonjour.
00:18:09Venez.
00:18:17Qu'est-ce que vous en dites?
00:18:19Je m'attendais à mieux.
00:18:21C'est étrange, il manque un petit quelque chose.
00:18:23Ça manque de gras, c'est trop banal.
00:18:25C'est peut-être puffé, Eric.
00:18:27C'est pour aller à une soirée?
00:18:29Je vais me marier.
00:18:31Avec un des clients de madame Simone, c'est ça?
00:18:35Elle nous a présenté l'un à l'autre
00:18:37et elle est prête à me donner à ce monsieur.
00:18:39Uniquement s'il est sincère.
00:18:41Si je décèle quoi que ce soit de malhonnête chez lui,
00:18:43je tirerai à vue sans pitié.
00:18:45Jusqu'ici, vous l'avez toujours trouvé merveilleux.
00:18:47Oui, chérie.
00:18:49C'est vrai qu'il est merveilleux.
00:18:51Faut trouver autre chose.
00:18:53On va refaire des essayages.
00:18:55Est-ce que beaucoup de vos filles épousent leurs clients?
00:18:59Laissons de côté tout ce verbiage inutile.
00:19:01Fille, client...
00:19:03C'était Wendy.
00:19:05Une charmante jeune femme qui vient de l'Oklahoma.
00:19:07Je l'ai rencontrée dans un défilé de haute couture.
00:19:11Elle a un cétère doré qu'elle vient d'adopter
00:19:13et une collection de timbres étonnantes.
00:19:15Son fiancé est monsieur Rick Stockwell.
00:19:17Un industriel, une sorte de globetrotter,
00:19:19un grand financier.
00:19:21Lui aussi a un cétère.
00:19:23Il possède également un hara.
00:19:25Il collectionne les pièces de monnaie ancienne
00:19:27et il a également de splendides toiles de maître.
00:19:29Vous êtes très impressionnante.
00:19:31À vous entendre, on pourrait croire
00:19:33qu'il s'agit d'un monde merveilleux.
00:19:35Mais la réalité est plus triviale.
00:19:37Il s'agit de sexe.
00:19:39Ce que je fais n'a rien à voir avec le sexe.
00:19:41Ce que je leur apporte, c'est de l'amour.
00:19:43C'est de l'amour.
00:19:45Ce que je leur apporte, c'est uniquement du rêve.
00:19:47C'est-à-dire ?
00:19:49Le romanesque,
00:19:51la compagnie, l'amitié,
00:19:53le dévouement.
00:19:55Tout le monde peut avoir des relations sexuelles.
00:19:57Le sexe, c'est facile.
00:19:59Mais vous leur parlez aussi de désir
00:20:01et de séduction.
00:20:03La séduction rime avec émotion.
00:20:05Ça n'a rien d'un acte physique.
00:20:07Au contraire.
00:20:09Vous voulez me faire croire que ces filles
00:20:11ne couchent pas dès leur première rencontre ?
00:20:13Je ne vois pas ce que je viens faire là-dedans.
00:20:15Elles sont comme tout le monde.
00:20:17Si l'homme leur plaît,
00:20:19elles font ce qu'elles veulent.
00:20:21Et s'il ne leur plaît pas,
00:20:23elles lui disent non.
00:20:25Alors pourquoi vous faites ça ?
00:20:27Ah, ces Américains.
00:20:29Quel est le moyen le plus rapide
00:20:31pour aller du point A au point B ?
00:20:33C'est la ligne droite.
00:20:35Non, chérie.
00:20:37C'est une ligne légèrement courbe.
00:20:39Venez.
00:20:45Qu'est-ce qui vous a poussé
00:20:47à accepter un reportage sur vous ?
00:20:49Oh, on m'a appelé de New York
00:20:51un beau matin,
00:20:53et j'ai accepté.
00:20:55Vous n'avez pas pour habitude
00:20:57de faire des reportages
00:20:59à l'eau de rose.
00:21:01Je ne suis pas Bill Gates.
00:21:05Alors,
00:21:07avec sa connaissance
00:21:09sur les circuits intégrés,
00:21:11il vous a ébloui.
00:21:13Vous avez lu mon livre ?
00:21:15Vous n'êtes pas la seule
00:21:17à faire des enquêtes.
00:21:19Pourquoi vous a-t-on choisi
00:21:21pour écrire cet article ?
00:21:23Pourquoi ?
00:21:25J'aimerais en connaître la raison.
00:21:27C'est parce qu'on aime mon travail
00:21:29et que je rapporte toujours
00:21:31des histoires assez solides ?
00:21:33Non, j'ai plutôt l'impression
00:21:35Quelle raison ?
00:21:37Je ne sais pas, c'est étrange.
00:21:39Il y a quelque chose dans votre voix
00:21:41qui trahit un malaise,
00:21:43quelque chose d'inachevé,
00:21:45mais nous verrons bien.
00:21:47Oui, je t'assure, on dirait
00:21:49une princesse habillée comme ça.
00:21:51Ah, elles sont là.
00:21:55Elle est pas mal cette robe-là,
00:21:57elle te plaît ?
00:21:59Ah oui, je l'adore.
00:22:01Elle te va à merveille,
00:22:03très bien les enfants.
00:22:05Elle est bien, c'est pas encore terminé.
00:22:07Demain j'ai un rendez-vous important
00:22:09avec monsieur François Bouchon.
00:22:11C'est la troisième fortune de France.
00:22:13Nous verrons ce qu'il en est.
00:22:15Lui aussi c'est un client.
00:22:17Ce sera à moi d'en décider.
00:22:19Merci madame.
00:22:21Le terme le plus approprié
00:22:23pour décrire madame Simone
00:22:25serait illusionniste,
00:22:27une experte dans son domaine
00:22:29à n'en pas douter.
00:22:31Elle se flatte de vendre du rêve
00:22:33en robe longue blanche.
00:22:35Mais j'estime que ce qu'elle vend en réalité
00:22:37c'est du sexe.
00:22:39Ni plus ni moins.
00:22:41Je dois tout de même reconnaître
00:22:43qu'elle est d'une honnêteté déconcertante,
00:22:45ce qui plaît d'un peu en sa faveur.
00:22:47Elle m'a demandé pourquoi
00:22:49j'étais venue à Paris.
00:22:51J'espère trouver la réponse
00:22:53à cette question avant de repartir.
00:22:57C'était une course extraordinaire.
00:22:59Le cheval a perdu d'une demi-tête.
00:23:01Vous vous intéressez aux courses de chevaux?
00:23:03Mais bien sûr, monsieur Bouchon.
00:23:05Je m'intéresse à tout, je suis très curieuse.
00:23:07Par exemple,
00:23:09vous,
00:23:11vous avez un penchant pour
00:23:13les femmes mariées.
00:23:15Mariées sans enfants.
00:23:17Les femmes avec de longues cheveux noirs
00:23:19et la taille fine.
00:23:23Comment savez-vous ce genre de choses?
00:23:25Je sais tant bien que mal
00:23:27d'affiner mes goûts.
00:23:29C'est-à-dire?
00:23:31Je suis sur le point d'hériter
00:23:33du domaine familial, un château.
00:23:35Mais mon père a des exigences.
00:23:37Il ne partage pas mes goûts.
00:23:39Vous recherchez quoi?
00:23:41Une fille décente et sans mari.
00:23:43Oui, c'est très clair.
00:23:45Et qui aurait de préférence
00:23:47la taille fine, bien sûr.
00:23:49Je vais voir ce que je peux faire pour vous.
00:23:51Merci.
00:23:53Je suis désolé.
00:23:55Je ne peux pas rester.
00:23:57Mon...
00:23:59Je vale court à 9h.
00:24:01Je me pose des questions à votre sujet.
00:24:03Tant mieux.
00:24:05À votre sujet, je ne m'en pose aucune.
00:24:09Lorsque vous parlerez de moi dans votre article,
00:24:11n'oubliez pas d'utiliser l'adjectif
00:24:13débonnaire. J'adore la sonorité de ce mot.
00:24:15Madame.
00:24:19Il va de soi, bien entendu,
00:24:21que vous ne citerez pas mon nom.
00:24:25Bien entendu.
00:24:29Au revoir.
00:24:33Ce genre d'individu existe?
00:24:35Il se conduit très mal.
00:24:37Mais il fera des progrès, j'en suis convaincue.
00:24:39Posséder un château le changera.
00:24:45Est-ce que vous avez quelqu'un en tête pour lui?
00:24:47Oui, j'ai déjà une jeune femme
00:24:49qui connaît les noms de tous ses chevaux.
00:24:51C'est vrai?
00:24:53Règle numéro 1, connaître la cible qu'on s'est fixée.
00:24:55C'est donc vous qui manipulez,
00:24:57qui dominez la situation?
00:24:59Absolument. C'est ma spécialité.
00:25:01Règle numéro 2?
00:25:03C'est une expression américaine, je crois,
00:25:05qui dit, si vous l'obtenez,
00:25:07faites-le savoir.
00:25:09Et vous osez continuer à prétendre
00:25:11que vous ne vendez pas de sexe?
00:25:13Non, non, non, essayons d'être clairs.
00:25:15En Amérique, on ne peut pas concevoir
00:25:17qu'une femme soit à la fois sexy
00:25:19et intelligente.
00:25:21Si une femme montre son corps,
00:25:23elle n'est pas prise au sérieux en affaire.
00:25:25On ne la respecte pas.
00:25:27En Europe, si une femme a un joli corps,
00:25:29c'est un avantage de plus dans les négociations.
00:25:31Elle est toujours prise au sérieux.
00:25:33Elle a un joli corps
00:25:35et tout le monde est content comme ça.
00:25:37Comment en arrivez-vous à cette conclusion?
00:25:39Sur nos plages, les femmes ne portent pas
00:25:41de haut de maillot de bain.
00:25:43Les hommes qui restent bouchepés et qui trébuchent dans le sable
00:25:45sont les Américains.
00:25:47Pour nous, c'est rien du tout.
00:25:49C'est simplement un état d'esprit.
00:25:51Il faut savoir mettre en valeur les atouts qu'on a
00:25:53et les assumer.
00:25:55Prenons votre cas, par exemple.
00:25:57Moi?
00:25:59Vous cachez très bien votre corps.
00:26:01Il n'empêche qu'on le voit
00:26:03prêt à s'embraser.
00:26:07À l'apparence, c'est quelque chose de superficiel.
00:26:09C'est vrai.
00:26:11Vous avez raison.
00:26:13C'est surtout sur l'apparence qu'on nous juge.
00:26:15Lorsque vous dînez dehors, comment vous habillez-vous?
00:26:17En quoi est-ce important?
00:26:19Est-ce que vous changez de vêtements après le travail?
00:26:21Non.
00:26:23Pourquoi?
00:26:25Vous voulez que l'homme s'intéresse aussi bien à ce qui est à l'extérieur
00:26:27qu'à ce qui est à l'intérieur.
00:26:29Bien entendu.
00:26:31Ce qu'il faut faire, c'est le captiver.
00:26:33Pour l'inciter à vous découvrir.
00:26:37Je suis sûre que votre mari serait d'accord.
00:26:43Quelque chose vous contrarie?
00:26:47Non, non.
00:26:51Je continue avec mes questions.
00:26:53Vous voulez bien?
00:26:55Mais c'est pour ça que vous êtes là.
00:26:57Avez-vous déjà été mariée?
00:26:59Oui.
00:27:01Mon mari m'a quittée pour une autre femme.
00:27:03Vous dites ça avec une certaine certitude.
00:27:05C'est vrai.
00:27:07C'est vrai.
00:27:09C'est vrai.
00:27:11C'est vrai.
00:27:13Vous dites ça avec une simplicité.
00:27:15Quand ça arrive, c'est simple.
00:27:17C'est simple et c'est terrible.
00:27:19C'était il y a 25 ans.
00:27:23C'est arrivé à un grand nombre de mes amies.
00:27:25Alors j'ai regardé,
00:27:27j'ai analysé
00:27:29l'allure de ces jeunes filles
00:27:31qui nous volaient nos maris.
00:27:33Je les ai étudiés attentivement.
00:27:37Et j'ai décidé de transmettre à d'autres femmes ce que j'avais appris.
00:27:39That's when Madame Simone appeared.
00:27:42You can put it that way.
00:27:44Are there men in your life?
00:27:46There are men who make me laugh,
00:27:49others who amuse me,
00:27:51others who provoke me,
00:27:53who move me,
00:27:55but no man has managed to change me.
00:27:58That's what you've always been looking for.
00:28:00That's what we're all looking for, that's obvious.
00:28:03The rare pearl that will help reveal our true nature.
00:28:09When did your husband leave you?
00:28:12I didn't say...
00:28:20It's quite recent.
00:28:22I've learned something.
00:28:24If you keep a certain assurance,
00:28:27he'll always come back.
00:28:29But that day,
00:28:31it's up to you to decide if he stays or leaves.
00:28:36Enough talking.
00:28:38We have to go now.
00:28:46Madame!
00:28:48Good evening.
00:28:50Good evening.
00:28:52I'm on the list.
00:28:54I absolutely want to be on the list.
00:28:57Of course you're on the list.
00:29:05What is this list?
00:29:07Every year, I organize a big ball for beginners,
00:29:10for my pretty little protégées.
00:29:12They come from all over the world.
00:29:14It's become a very popular party.
00:29:16It will take place at the end of this month.
00:29:18It took me six months to prepare everything.
00:29:20You'll probably talk about it in your article.
00:29:23Yes, without a doubt.
00:29:25I can't wait to attend.
00:29:27Tomorrow evening, I'll invite you to one of the parties I give every week.
00:29:30I hope you can't wait to attend.
00:29:34Do you doubt my sincerity?
00:29:36You're going at full speed, like on a motorway,
00:29:39trying to look at the landscape when you slow down.
00:29:42And when you get out of the car, I won't have any more doubts.
00:29:56Good evening.
00:29:59Pleased to meet you.
00:30:01Likewise.
00:30:05He's still here.
00:30:09No, I can't tell you anything right now, but I won't forget you.
00:30:13Don't worry.
00:30:14It's a very successful party, as always.
00:30:17You do everything perfectly.
00:30:18I try.
00:30:19I've come.
00:30:21Oh, Johanna! Good evening.
00:30:23Good evening.
00:30:26So, is this how it starts?
00:30:28Sometimes it happens that it's different.
00:30:30Some evenings there are a lot of people, or maybe also a small committee.
00:30:33It depends on the mood.
00:30:36Good evening, my dear. I'm sorry.
00:30:39Francesco.
00:30:42This is Johanna Scott.
00:30:44Francesco will take the pictures that will illustrate your article.
00:30:47He's wonderful.
00:30:51Pleased to meet you.
00:30:53Excuse me.
00:30:56My editor-in-chief showed me some of your pictures that were published in magazines.
00:31:00I was impressed.
00:31:03Madame Simone is my favorite model.
00:31:05She's very comfortable with the camera.
00:31:07It's the best.
00:31:17Are you going out with these women?
00:31:19If I go out with them? No.
00:31:21No.
00:31:23That said, if you're one of them, I'll make an exception.
00:31:27Is it the kind of gossip that works with women?
00:31:30I don't know. You're the first one to hear it.
00:31:33What do you think?
00:31:36I don't really know.
00:31:40Have you known her for a long time?
00:31:43I've been covering the Grand Ball for four years now.
00:31:46I'm her featured photographer.
00:31:49Is she doing all this just for the money?
00:31:52You're going straight to the point.
00:31:54I'm a journalist.
00:31:56Madame Simone is not doing this for the money.
00:31:58It's for pleasure, above all.
00:32:00Of course.
00:32:01Look.
00:32:02The girls are delighted.
00:32:04Most of them would never have hoped to receive the instruction that Madame Simone gave them.
00:32:09And they have a chance to marry a little fortune.
00:32:13They are happy.
00:32:20Madame Simone.
00:32:26Did you have a good evening?
00:32:29Yes.
00:32:30I had an interesting conversation.
00:32:33You're not too disappointed.
00:32:35You didn't talk about sex, you didn't talk about money either.
00:32:38No.
00:32:39I guess it will come later.
00:32:41All these men have accountants who send checks through their company.
00:32:46These men are very seductive in their way.
00:32:49And the women are exceptional.
00:32:52Oh no, don't worry.
00:32:53They're not that exceptional.
00:32:55I could teach you to seduce any man.
00:32:59What?
00:33:00Are you sure?
00:33:04I didn't manage to convince you.
00:33:07You're right.
00:33:11Let me show you how it works.
00:33:14For your investigation.
00:33:16Harry didn't ask me to do this kind of research.
00:33:20Surprise him.
00:33:23And surprise yourself.
00:33:26No.
00:33:27When there are surprises, it goes like this.
00:33:29It's never too late to discover what kind of woman you could have become.
00:33:36The question is to know what kind of woman you want to be.
00:33:41Joanna?
00:33:42How are you? Are you sure?
00:33:44I went to a meeting with Mrs. Simone tonight.
00:33:49She didn't try to sell you off?
00:33:54No.
00:33:55But she asked me to do a deep investigation.
00:34:01You?
00:34:04What?
00:34:05Why are you laughing?
00:34:07Excuse me.
00:34:09I didn't mean to make fun of you.
00:34:13But it doesn't look like you at all.
00:34:16It seems to be the general opinion.
00:34:20So?
00:34:21Did you see Dale?
00:34:23You'd better not talk about it.
00:34:26Why?
00:34:28Wasn't he alone?
00:34:31No.
00:34:33I saw him by chance in this place in the East Village.
00:34:36Five Ponds?
00:34:39He took her to Five Ponds?
00:34:41Joanna.
00:34:42I asked him at least twenty times to take me to Five Ponds.
00:34:46He always said he didn't have time.
00:34:53He always had a lot of things to do.
00:35:04Hello?
00:35:05Mrs. Simone?
00:35:06Yes.
00:35:07Am I waking you up?
00:35:08No.
00:35:09I never sleep after one of my evenings.
00:35:10I'm plotting.
00:35:12In fact, I would be curious to lend myself to your game
00:35:16to try to seduce any man.
00:35:18You want to seduce a man?
00:35:20Saying that it would probably add a little spice to my investigation.
00:35:39What kind of woman do you want to be?
00:35:42It reminds me of the questions adults ask children, like
00:35:45What do you want to do when you grow up?
00:35:48Have I ever answered a serious business woman with banal shoes and a husband who cheats on her?
00:35:55Dreams dissipate.
00:35:57That's when Mrs. Simone comes on stage.
00:36:00We'll start with the first rule, the most important one.
00:36:05When you are unhappy, do not complain about your fate.
00:36:08We will analyze the relationship that has been the most vital for you
00:36:12so as not to repeat the same mistakes over and over again.
00:36:15Why did your husband leave you?
00:36:17Why did he leave me?
00:36:25Supposedly because I had remained the same since our marriage.
00:36:29Nothing but banalities, clichés.
00:36:33I hope you have thought of something to destabilize him.
00:36:36Do not let yourself be fooled.
00:36:38We will prove to him that he was wrong by making you an exceptional woman.
00:36:41I will tell you a word
00:36:43and you will answer what goes through your head.
00:36:47Without thinking, okay?
00:36:48What is this test for?
00:36:49To see where it will lead us, of course.
00:36:53Man
00:36:54Woman
00:36:55Love
00:36:57Marriage
00:36:59Time
00:37:00Awakening
00:37:01Sex
00:37:06Room
00:37:07That's not what you were going to say.
00:37:09No, I was going to say nothing.
00:37:12Nothing.
00:37:17Well, that's exactly where the game led us, to nothing.
00:37:23Do you hate sex?
00:37:26Of course not.
00:37:27It's not that I hate it, but...
00:37:30the opportunities don't present themselves anymore.
00:37:32For what reason?
00:37:35I feel like it's because...
00:37:38I don't have many relationships anymore.
00:37:41And before, did you like making love?
00:37:44When I was younger.
00:37:47What has become of this girl?
00:37:50What girl?
00:37:51The carefree young girl who loved to run through fields barefoot
00:37:55and her hair flying in the wind.
00:38:00The one who gave Valentine's Day cards to boys by sliding them under the door.
00:38:11She did her high school studies in a school for young girls.
00:38:16She studied journalism.
00:38:18She worked hard.
00:38:22Then one day, she thought she had met the ideal man.
00:38:25And in the meantime, she forgot to have fun.
00:38:29We have fun sometimes.
00:38:32And what does it mean to have fun?
00:38:35It's this strange state we're in after drinking a little champagne.
00:38:41And we suddenly feel ready to try everything.
00:38:46We're not afraid of anything anymore.
00:38:48You should get that feeling again.
00:38:53Maybe I should start drinking.
00:38:58You've been a serious and responsible girl all your life.
00:39:02Yes, I can't help it. It's natural for me.
00:39:05But I wasn't interested in competing with girls to seduce boys.
00:39:09I was only interested in my grades.
00:39:11I can understand that.
00:39:13And even admire it.
00:39:16At the time, you were ambitious and you were forced to adopt certain male traits.
00:39:21You felt that if you showed your sensuality, you wouldn't be taken seriously.
00:39:25So now, it's time to make resolutions.
00:39:28Especially after work.
00:39:33I don't see how I can change.
00:39:36It's me. I'm like this.
00:39:38Yes, unfortunately.
00:39:40What do you mean, unfortunately?
00:39:43Mrs. X could.
00:39:46You won't be Johanna anymore. You'll be Mrs. X.
00:39:49And Mrs. X could do whatever she wants.
00:39:52She has no reason to hesitate.
00:39:54Mrs. X?
00:39:56I don't need to show her how to speak to the greats of this world.
00:40:00Or how to hold on to the palace of the Elysée.
00:40:02She has the qualities required.
00:40:04She is cultivated. She expresses herself well.
00:40:06She has good manners.
00:40:08She masters the situation.
00:40:10On the other hand, the games of seduction.
00:40:12Intimate relationships.
00:40:14How to get what a man wants.
00:40:17All these things I can teach her.
00:40:19And how?
00:40:21First of all,
00:40:23appearance is a very important thing.
00:40:26It has always been.
00:40:29And it will always be.
00:40:31And Mrs. X needs a new look.
00:40:35Hervé, we need the car.
00:40:37Yes, Madam.
00:40:39We're going to taste this unique thing that Paris owes its reputation to.
00:40:43What do you mean?
00:40:44The illusion, my dear.
00:41:02It's very young. It's delightful.
00:41:05Too young.
00:41:07It suits her.
00:41:09It's very pretty on her.
00:41:11What do you think, Madam?
00:41:12Very chic.
00:41:14Too old.
00:41:16But this one is really very original.
00:41:18Too arrogant.
00:41:26Wonderful.
00:41:28We found it.
00:41:30My clothes had always been an armor that protected me from the world.
00:41:34My clothes had always been an armor that protected me from the world.
00:41:38And now I saw things differently.
00:41:40I could put on an elegant outfit while remaining faithful to my way of working.
00:41:44The fact of buying dresses that other girls wore did not alter my personality.
00:41:48Quite the opposite.
00:41:49It gave me more freedom than I ever had.
00:41:54No, don't open your eyes.
00:41:59It hurts.
00:42:00Metamorphosis makes you suffer.
00:42:04I don't usually wear much make-up.
00:42:06Rouge à lèvres, rouge à lèvres, rouge à lèvres.
00:42:10Remember these words.
00:42:14A new layer of rouge à lèvres can change everything.
00:42:34What do you think?
00:42:52So?
00:42:54Ha ha ha ha ha!
00:43:24What is essential is not to look him in the eyes and insist.
00:43:31Then you give him a little sign of the head.
00:43:37And you always have your eyes on him.
00:43:39Even if you have your mind completely elsewhere.
00:43:41Men are persuaded that we think of them.
00:43:44And when you have all his attention,
00:43:46that you master the situation,
00:43:48that you have all his attention,
00:43:50that you master the situation,
00:43:52you drink a sip.
00:44:14Which will cause a reaction in him.
00:44:17Which will cause a reaction in him.
00:44:29Madame, I've been watching you for a long time and I find you charming.
00:44:35Next week I'm going to Nice with friends for a stay on my yacht.
00:44:39I invite you to join us for a few days.
00:44:43Here is my card.
00:44:48Call me.
00:44:51Goodbye.
00:44:59I can't believe it. What did he just say?
00:45:01That he invited me to spend a few days on his yacht.
00:45:05I was so surprised that I didn't realize it.
00:45:07He absolutely wants you to learn to recognize good wines.
00:45:10When the waiter brings the bottle,
00:45:13he opens it and pours the wine into the man's glass for him to taste.
00:45:17It will be up to you to help him taste the wine.
00:45:23Dip a finger in it.
00:45:30And blow on his lips gently.
00:45:34And there he is neutralized.
00:45:36It's yours.
00:45:38Oh yes.
00:45:39It's very original.
00:45:41The highlight of the show.
00:45:43It's very good. You can serve it.
00:45:45Yes.
00:45:47I will never be able to do something like that while keeping my seriousness.
00:45:51That's why you are Madame X.
00:45:54Yes.
00:45:56I never thought I would be able to do something like that.
00:46:01Yes.
00:46:03I forgot.
00:46:06Today we are going to talk about three essential elements.
00:46:09Underwear.
00:46:11Kisses.
00:46:12And flesh.
00:46:14It reminds me of high school.
00:46:16First of all, necklaces are not sexy at all.
00:46:18You don't like that.
00:46:20Me neither, by the way.
00:46:22He hates them too, it's obvious.
00:46:24Prefer the hour of the doorbells, the bars.
00:46:27And a bustier.
00:46:29Put them under your skirts and shirts.
00:46:31And even if no one sees them,
00:46:33having them on you
00:46:35will give you more essence and even some sensuality.
00:46:39You will go there.
00:46:41Patrice will find you an exquisite model.
00:46:44Now let's move on to the kisses.
00:46:47This book is for you.
00:46:50How to kiss?
00:46:52You will find some little things there.
00:46:54On the erogenous areas, for example.
00:46:56In general, we can call erogenous areas
00:46:59any part of the skin covered by clothes.
00:47:02Do you want to practice?
00:47:04Practice?
00:47:05Hervé?
00:47:06Yes?
00:47:15You can practice on Hervé.
00:47:17It will be with pleasure.
00:47:20No, no way.
00:47:23Even Madame X will not play this little game.
00:47:26Are you sure?
00:47:28Absolutely.
00:47:32Go wash the car.
00:47:34But I prefer to kiss.
00:47:36Kiss Monique.
00:47:38It looks like you love doing that.
00:47:41It amuses you to humiliate me.
00:47:43It's part of the therapy.
00:47:45I want to kiss you.
00:47:47It's part of the therapy.
00:47:49I want you to be less and less embarrassed.
00:47:51That's my goal.
00:47:53Well, I have an appointment with a client.
00:47:55Then I have to fix the last details of my evening.
00:47:58Here, you'll have to look at it in my office.
00:48:01What is it?
00:48:03An erotic cassette.
00:48:04For me, it's part of the learning process
00:48:06to acquire experience.
00:48:08Oh, it's another test.
00:48:10Look at it.
00:48:12Try to take something out of it.
00:48:14That's all I ask of you.
00:48:16I have a cooking cassette.
00:48:18To learn how to cook, you'll have to watch at least two.
00:48:22How are you?
00:48:24Very well.
00:48:25Hello.
00:48:26Hello.
00:48:27Is she the one you booked for me?
00:48:29Show a little discretion.
00:48:31Excuse me a second.
00:48:37I guess you don't want to practice with him either.
00:48:41Another test?
00:49:11After all, she didn't ask me to listen to her either.
00:49:42Oh, that!
00:49:46I would never have imagined that.
00:49:48Oh, it's not me.
00:49:49It's Mrs. Simone who gave it to me.
00:49:51I mean...
00:49:58I was watching an erotic cassette.
00:50:00Oh, yeah?
00:50:01I saw that.
00:50:03May I know why?
00:50:05I know, it's stupid, but I thought
00:50:07I'd learn...
00:50:09What?
00:50:12Things.
00:50:17You are magnificent.
00:50:19Outstanding sincerity.
00:50:22If you want,
00:50:24I can give you all kinds of advice.
00:50:27Oh, I recognize the Italian charm here.
00:50:31It's Mrs. Simone who changed your hair?
00:50:34Yes.
00:50:35And not just your hair.
00:50:38That's not bad at all.
00:50:41Don't forget we'll see each other at 4pm.
00:50:44No.
00:50:45Excuse me?
00:50:47I came by to confirm the appointment at my place this afternoon.
00:50:51Oh, I see.
00:50:53I'll see you at 4pm.
00:50:55I'll see you at 4pm.
00:50:58I came by to confirm the appointment at my place this afternoon.
00:51:01To look at the photos.
00:51:03The photos!
00:51:05I'm sorry, I completely forgot.
00:51:08I understand, it's normal, you had your head elsewhere.
00:51:13Madame asked me to give you this so you can look at it at the hotel.
00:51:22Oh, that's to learn how to cook.
00:51:27Oh, that's to learn how to cook.
00:51:49We all know how to dress,
00:51:52but it's an art to take off your clothes one by one
00:51:55and make a striptease in front of your lover.
00:51:57What?
00:51:59Let yourself be guided by the music.
00:52:01Let yourself go.
00:52:03Follow the rhythm.
00:52:06Why don't you try?
00:52:07I don't mind.
00:52:14Hello again.
00:52:16I'm really confused to be late.
00:52:19I don't want to know the reason.
00:52:26Oh, they're beautiful.
00:52:31These photos are magnificent.
00:52:34I didn't know you took art photos.
00:52:36What I do for the magazines is food, that's something else.
00:52:39It's deeper.
00:52:41You're extraordinary.
00:52:43I can't stop telling you that.
00:52:45Come on.
00:52:50Madame.
00:52:55Madame.
00:53:00Oh, you really caught his eye on that one.
00:53:03I wonder what he was thinking.
00:53:05When you know, you'll have your story.
00:53:09That's the best one.
00:53:11That's what I think, too.
00:53:13I'll take pictures of you.
00:53:15I'm always horrible at taking pictures.
00:53:17I want to take you like that.
00:53:20That's out of the question.
00:53:22You like my work, don't you?
00:53:25I'm far from being like her.
00:53:27What interests me is you.
00:53:31Here's what I propose.
00:53:33You pose for me, and then I'll take you to dinner
00:53:35in one of the best restaurants in Paris.
00:53:39Are you flirting with me?
00:53:40Yes, I like you.
00:53:41I'm married.
00:53:42We're in Paris, it doesn't matter.
00:53:45You have the answer to everything.
00:53:47Will you pose for me?
00:53:48Yes, of course.
00:53:50I can't believe I said that.
00:53:55Beautiful.
00:54:00I won't give you any directions.
00:54:02Do what you want.
00:54:10Yes, let yourself go.
00:54:14You're beautiful.
00:54:16Yes, I love that.
00:54:18Beautiful.
00:54:21Can you unbutton your skirt now?
00:54:25Just a little.
00:54:28That's great.
00:54:29You're beautiful.
00:54:48You're beautiful.
00:55:10Two more.
00:55:12The last two.
00:55:14Okay?
00:55:17Okay.
00:55:18Are you taking me to dinner?
00:55:20With pleasure.
00:55:35I must admit, after our first meeting,
00:55:38I went to buy your last book.
00:55:41Really?
00:55:42So?
00:55:44The topic you're addressing is not obvious.
00:55:47I think you have talent.
00:55:50I tried to get involved.
00:55:53How so?
00:55:55I wanted to tell a story that concerns me,
00:56:00and that is at the same time universal.
00:56:03That's exactly how I approach photography.
00:56:06And I've always had a lot of respect for my models.
00:56:15One of the most beautiful models I've ever had.
00:56:26You told me you were married.
00:56:28Yes. Are you surprised?
00:56:30No, not at all.
00:56:32He left.
00:56:34Left? And where did he go?
00:56:37He...
00:56:40He...
00:56:42He left me for another woman.
00:56:44I can't believe it.
00:56:46He has you.
00:56:48Yes.
00:56:50That's crazy.
00:56:52Forget this man.
00:56:56It's good.
00:56:57It's the first time you smile without a camera in your hands.
00:57:00There is still hope.
00:57:02Everything is not lost.
00:57:05Where will all this lead us?
00:57:11To a great friendship, for example.
00:57:13It would be beautiful, wouldn't it?
00:57:16Yes, it would be beautiful.
00:57:18Love is friendship that turns into lightning.
00:57:35I love you.
00:57:46That's good. That's very good work. Thank you.
00:57:49Oh, Johanna, you are more and more beautiful.
00:57:52Hello.
00:57:53But you blush.
00:57:55No, I don't blush.
00:57:57Where were you last night?
00:57:59I couldn't join you.
00:58:01To a photo shoot.
00:58:03A photo shoot?
00:58:05I took pictures.
00:58:07With Francesco.
00:58:09Oh, I love that.
00:58:11I underestimated you.
00:58:14I will never make the same mistake again.
00:58:19What is this album?
00:58:20Wendy wanted to see it.
00:58:23But it's you.
00:58:28Look at this.
00:58:31It's so beautiful.
00:58:33I would like to tell you about it.
00:58:36Tell me.
00:58:40We met in Cannes.
00:58:48He came out of the water like an apparition.
00:58:51Right in front of me.
00:58:55It was as if a god had fallen from the sky.
00:58:59When he began to speak to me,
00:59:02I had no doubt.
00:59:04It was a god who had fallen from the sky.
00:59:09Was it a long story?
00:59:11No.
00:59:12It all happened very quickly.
00:59:14We got married after a year.
00:59:16How long did it last?
00:59:17Four years.
00:59:18Then he left me.
00:59:20Another woman fell in love with him
00:59:22when she saw him coming out of the water.
00:59:27And he left me.
00:59:30A banal end.
00:59:33He was not delicate.
00:59:36Oh, yes, he could be delicate.
00:59:39But what I liked
00:59:41was that he was young
00:59:43and particularly insolent.
00:59:47I loved his insolence.
00:59:49He was unique, this man.
00:59:53I didn't expect to hear you talk about a man like that.
01:00:02It was a long time ago.
01:00:04It was a lesson to me.
01:00:05And to him too.
01:00:07I would be curious to know.
01:00:10We had a lot of fun.
01:00:12And in 25 years, no man has loved me as much.
01:00:17Where is he now?
01:00:19He...
01:00:23He's gone.
01:00:26It's...
01:00:28It's a mystery
01:00:30that I've never solved.
01:00:34There are a lot of people for whom you are also a mystery.
01:00:37Really?
01:00:38A mystery?
01:00:39And for what reason?
01:00:40A woman who arranges idyllic love
01:00:43without living it herself.
01:00:47I don't think it's the first concern of people.
01:00:52I think so.
01:00:55That's normal.
01:00:57You've spent a lot of time listening to me.
01:01:02Are you still looking for her?
01:01:09This rare pearl that will help you reveal your true nature.
01:01:13It's not easy to find.
01:01:16But when you find it,
01:01:19nothing else exists.
01:01:29Madame.
01:01:31I phoned.
01:01:32He left home an hour ago.
01:01:34It only takes him 10 minutes to get here.
01:01:37Calm down, I'll take care of it.
01:01:39Madame.
01:01:41His witness told me that he was...
01:01:44Yes, finish.
01:01:45That he was nervous last night.
01:01:47That's normal.
01:01:48No, madame.
01:01:49It seems that he was really very nervous.
01:01:51If I can do something...
01:01:53Yes, you can comfort Wendy.
01:01:56Comfort her?
01:01:57Wendy?
01:01:58Very well.
01:02:01I had nightmares, I was so scared of that.
01:02:05To find myself all alone in front of the hotel,
01:02:07all alone, in my wedding dress,
01:02:09with a frozen smile on my face.
01:02:11I was waiting and he wasn't coming.
01:02:13I'm not dreaming right now.
01:02:15He did look sincere when I saw him with you.
01:02:18When I think about all the efforts I've made,
01:02:20everything I've studied and learned was just a waste of time.
01:02:23How can you say that?
01:02:25No matter what happens, what matters is thinking about you.
01:02:28It's easy for you to say.
01:02:30You have a husband who loves you, you're lucky.
01:02:33It's not the kind of thing that could happen to me.
01:02:35He doesn't love me.
01:02:37What's going on?
01:02:38He's not coming?
01:02:39He was on his way.
01:02:40He changed his mind?
01:02:41He had a car accident.
01:02:42Again?
01:02:43It's nothing serious.
01:02:44He lost consciousness for a few minutes.
01:02:46Oh, that's terrible!
01:02:47Herve will take you to the hospital.
01:02:49Take his bag too.
01:02:51Thank you Madam.
01:02:56If only life was as simple as a bump on the head.
01:02:59In any case, it's a story that ends well.
01:03:04Madam, the guests.
01:03:05Oh yes, serve me the little ovens to start with.
01:03:21The party was particularly successful.
01:03:24Two of my daughters found the man they were looking for.
01:03:27Did you talk to Wendy?
01:03:29Of course.
01:03:31I think it's original, by the way.
01:03:33As the doctor refused to let Eric go out, they decided to get married in the hospital.
01:03:39My God.
01:03:40Our lives are only connected by a thread, it's scary.
01:03:44And is Wendy happy?
01:03:47Oh, she's in heaven.
01:03:49The nurse took lots of pictures.
01:03:52Will it last?
01:03:53I wish, but who knows what life has in store for us.
01:03:56Here's the list of the party.
01:03:57Thank you very much.
01:04:01And this?
01:04:02It's for you.
01:04:04For me?
01:04:05Yes.
01:04:24Is this from you?
01:04:28I could have made you this gift, but I was so busy finding dresses for my daughters
01:04:32that I didn't even have time to think of you.
01:04:40Elegant and sexy, just as you are.
01:04:45Francesco.
01:04:47You impressed him.
01:04:50He impressed me, too.
01:04:56Does he do that often?
01:04:58Does he try to seduce your daughters?
01:05:00I tried to find him a wife one day.
01:05:02But he refused with such vehemence that I never started again.
01:05:13She's wonderful.
01:05:16Madame X is very happy.
01:05:19I feel...
01:05:21finally free.
01:05:22It's been in you for a long time already, but you've always rejected it.
01:05:28I never thought I'd be able to attract a man like you.
01:05:34I'm so happy.
01:05:36I'm so happy.
01:05:38I'm so happy.
01:05:40I'm so happy.
01:05:42I'm so happy.
01:05:43I'm so happy I can attract a man like him.
01:05:46What's so special about him?
01:05:49He's young and sexy.
01:06:03How idiotic.
01:06:06Why am I crying like that?
01:06:10To be happy...
01:06:11You have to run the risk of being unhappy, it's healthy.
01:06:16No, it's awful.
01:06:20I've had enough since Dale left me, I feel like living on Russian mountains.
01:06:25But what do you hope for from this marriage with Dale?
01:06:29I don't really know.
01:06:34A union that lasts a lifetime.
01:06:36A man who loves me and appreciates me for my talent and my independence.
01:06:47A man who realizes from time to time that I need him to take me in his arms.
01:06:55Sometimes we do everything to make people change, and it doesn't work.
01:06:59The only thing we can do is try to make them valuable.
01:07:01But the irony is that changing a person is denying their uniqueness.
01:07:08It never brings anything good.
01:07:10What a curious remark, coming from you.
01:07:14When I discover my young daughters,
01:07:17in some of them, I see talents, skills,
01:07:20only we haven't given them the chance to become what they wanted to be.
01:07:23And there are others for whom there is not much to do.
01:07:28It is impossible to change people.
01:07:31They will change on their own.
01:07:34When I look at you, I see a beautiful young woman full of promise.
01:07:39I am not one of your students.
01:07:42But you are, and you are surely one of the best I have ever had, Johanna.
01:07:47Welcome, sir.
01:07:49Be careful with my car.
01:07:55Good evening.
01:07:57Good evening.
01:08:06Good evening.
01:08:08Good evening.
01:08:17Excusez-moi.
01:08:19Francesco.
01:08:21Madame.
01:08:25Voilà, Johanna.
01:08:29Resplendissante.
01:08:31Vous êtes belle à couper le souffle.
01:08:36Madame.
01:08:38Madame.
01:08:40Madame.
01:08:42Madame.
01:08:43À couper le souffle.
01:08:46J'ai l'impression d'être Cendrillon.
01:08:49Vous comprenez alors ce que mes filles ressentent maintenant.
01:08:52Excusez-moi.
01:08:54Monsieur Cortez.
01:08:55Madame Simone.
01:08:56Comment allez-vous?
01:08:57Très bien, merci.
01:08:58Vous êtes venue, c'est adorable.
01:09:00Je vous présente Mademoiselle Gouttes.
01:09:02Tout le plaisir est pour moi.
01:09:04Enchantée, monsieur.
01:09:06Je vous laisse en bonne compagnie.
01:09:07Avec plaisir.
01:09:08Très bien.
01:09:10Simone, bonjour.
01:09:13Je l'adore.
01:09:14Elle est magnifique.
01:09:16Merci.
01:09:17Cette robe ne serait rien sans la femme qui la porte.
01:09:20On dirait qu'elle a été faite pour toi.
01:09:23Si on allait danser.
01:09:25On est là pour travailler.
01:09:27Il faut toujours mêler le travail et le plaisir.
01:09:28C'est ça qui est génial.
01:09:30Oui, tu as raison.
01:09:32La nuit ne fait que commencer.
01:09:36Pourquoi tu prends ce ton mystérieux?
01:09:39Pour rien.
01:09:42Tu me caches quelque chose.
01:09:45N'oublie pas que je suis ton photographe.
01:09:47Tu ne dois pas avoir de secret pour moi.
01:09:50Il n'y aurait plus de mystère si je te disais tout.
01:09:54Je ne sais pas.
01:09:56Je ne sais pas.
01:09:58Je ne sais pas.
01:09:59Il n'y aurait plus de mystère si je te disais tout.
01:10:03Tu seras toujours un mystère pour moi, chérie.
01:10:24Tout va bien?
01:10:26Tout va bien. La soirée est réussie.
01:10:29Non, je ne parlais pas de la soirée.
01:10:32Alors, je vais bien. J'avais besoin d'un peu de solitude.
01:10:35Vous n'avez pas dansé.
01:10:37J'ai pour règle de ne jamais danser à l'une de mes soirées.
01:10:40Pourquoi avez-vous décidé ça?
01:10:42Il me faudrait un beau parti.
01:10:45Et tous les beaux partis sont déjà pris par mes jeunes filles.
01:10:51Je voudrais savoir une chose.
01:10:55Est-ce que vous avez des regrets?
01:11:01Non, la vie est beaucoup trop courte pour avoir des regrets.
01:11:05C'est ça, votre réponse?
01:11:08Il m'arrive, quelquefois,
01:11:11de penser à des choix que j'ai faits,
01:11:17à tous ces beaux rêves que l'on fait quand on est jeune
01:11:21et qui se réalisent parfois sans qu'on s'y attende.
01:11:26Vous aimez encore votre ex-mari?
01:11:29J'en garde un bon souvenir.
01:11:34Imaginez un peu qu'il soit dans cette pièce maintenant
01:11:38et qu'il vous dise qu'il a eu tort de vous quitter,
01:11:41qu'il regrette beaucoup de vous avoir fait souffrir.
01:11:48Je pense que j'aurai énormément de mal à le croire.
01:11:52Même si je te le prouvais?
01:11:56Madame Simone,
01:11:58permettez-moi de vous présenter M. Warren Duxay.
01:12:02Qui a un peu vieilli, c'est Asaji,
01:12:06mais qui s'en est toujours voulu.
01:12:22C'est une idée à vous?
01:12:26Oui.
01:12:28Vous ne m'en voulez pas.
01:12:35Tu devrais oublier ta colère pour l'instant.
01:12:39Concentrons-nous sur la musique.
01:12:42Il me semble que tu m'as même dit un jour
01:12:45que la musique était une des merveilles de la vie.
01:12:49Ne la gâchons pas.
01:12:55Tu t'en souviens?
01:12:57Je me souviens de beaucoup de choses.
01:13:02Si nous allions danser.
01:13:12Avec plaisir.
01:13:25Allons-y.
01:13:56Maintenant tu l'as, ton histoire.
01:13:59Je n'ai pas fait ça pour l'histoire.
01:14:03C'est pour ça que je suis amoureux de toi.
01:14:26Bien dormi.
01:14:29Bonjour.
01:14:32C'était merveilleux.
01:14:35Oui.
01:14:37Qu'est-ce que tu fais là, vieux, près de moi?
01:14:39Non.
01:14:41Il faut que je rentre.
01:14:44Que tu rentres?
01:14:47J'ai terminé mon enquête sur Mme Simone.
01:14:50Et?
01:14:51Tu connais la réponse aussi bien que moi.
01:14:53Ne fais pas l'étonner.
01:14:56Ça ne durerait pas.
01:14:58Il vaut mieux se quitter.
01:15:00Maintenant.
01:15:04Avec toi j'ai appris beaucoup de choses.
01:15:07Tu m'as redonné confiance et tu m'as renseigné.
01:15:11Tu m'as aidé.
01:15:13Tu m'as aidé.
01:15:15Tu m'as aidé.
01:15:17Tu m'as aidé.
01:15:19Tu m'as redonné confiance et tu m'as rendu heureuse.
01:15:24Tu vas me manquer.
01:15:29Une partie de moi restera toujours à Paris.
01:15:49Je ne vous dérange pas?
01:15:51Comment l'avez-vous retrouvé?
01:15:55Ça n'a pas été facile.
01:15:57Mon rédacteur l'a retrouvé et il lui a dit de venir.
01:16:00Vous avez pris des risques.
01:16:02Je devrais le regretter.
01:16:05D'avoir pris ce risque?
01:16:07Bien sûr que non.
01:16:14Alors, comment est-il?
01:16:16Il est différent.
01:16:18Il est plus vieux.
01:16:20Un peu plus sage qu'avant.
01:16:22Toujours insolent?
01:16:24Oui, il est toujours aussi insolent.
01:16:29Et il est divorcé?
01:16:31Il s'était remarié.
01:16:33Ça n'a pas duré longtemps.
01:16:35Depuis plusieurs années, il vit seul.
01:16:38Et alors?
01:16:40Comme dans les contes de fées.
01:16:42Vous voulez que ça finisse bien?
01:16:44Oui, j'adore les histoires qui finissent bien.
01:16:46Alors on verra ce soir, il m'emmène dîner.
01:16:50Dites-moi, maintenant qu'il est revenu,
01:16:54ça va être à vous de décider?
01:16:57Vous avez bien écouté la leçon.
01:16:59Oui, c'est vrai.
01:17:03Johanna, vous allez me manquer.
01:17:09Des femmes de cœur comme vous, je n'en rencontre pas souvent.
01:17:13Et j'apprécie votre intelligence.
01:17:18C'est réconfortant d'une certaine façon.
01:17:28Depuis que je suis ici, j'ai tout fait pour devenir plus vulnérable, plus sexy.
01:17:35Chérie.
01:17:40Venez.
01:17:43Vous comprenez maintenant l'importance?
01:17:47Ce n'est pas ce que vous avez sur le dos,
01:17:50ou encore la façon dont vous agissez.
01:17:53Non, l'important c'est de vous sentir à l'aise.
01:17:57Et si vous y croyez, tout le monde y croira.
01:18:03Bien sûr, j'en suis convaincue.
01:18:08Je suis triste.
01:18:09Je suis triste.
01:18:12Vous aussi, vous allez me manquer.
01:18:36Johanna?
01:18:38Tu ne m'as même pas donné de date limite pour l'article.
01:18:40J'ai cru avoir une vision.
01:18:42J'ai changé de coiffure.
01:18:45Enfin, plusieurs petites choses.
01:18:48J'ai déjà le canevas, si tu veux.
01:18:51Arrête de faire ça, ça m'agace.
01:18:53Je n'en reviens pas, tu es métamorphosée.
01:18:56Merci, je préfère ça.
01:18:59Je n'ai pas fini de te surprendre.
01:19:01Elle est de taille, ta surprise. Je ne m'y attendais pas.
01:19:04Je parlais de l'article que j'ai écrit.
01:19:06Oui, c'est vrai.
01:19:08Oui, bien sûr.
01:19:10On dirait que le temps que tu as passé auprès de Madame Simone...
01:19:14t'as été profitable.
01:19:16C'est un personnage vraiment extraordinaire, une femme unique.
01:19:19Je ne sens aucun sarcasme dans ta voix.
01:19:22C'est parce que je suis sincère.
01:19:24Lis ce que j'ai écrit.
01:19:26J'en ai bien attention.
01:19:28J'ai entendu dire que Glenda allait inviter tout le monde pour la sortie de son livre.
01:19:32Oui, demain soir.
01:19:34Le bouquin est sans grand intérêt, comme d'habitude, mais on risque de bien s'amuser.
01:19:38Tu veux que je passe te prendre ?
01:19:39Non, je préfère y aller toute seule.
01:19:41Tu iras toute seule.
01:19:43Oui, pourquoi pas ?
01:19:44Il y a des chances pour que Del vienne lui aussi.
01:19:47C'est un grand ami de Glenda, n'oublie pas.
01:19:50Je n'ai pas oublié.
01:19:56Félicitations.
01:19:57Merci beaucoup.
01:19:59Johanna !
01:20:00Salut, ça va ?
01:20:02Raconte, comment ça s'est passé avec Madame Simone à Paris ?
01:20:05Est-ce que c'est aussi décadent qu'on le dit ou pas ?
01:20:08Un petit aperçu ?
01:20:10On apprend des choses sur le baiser, le striptease, le port de jartel, l'amour et...
01:20:16La disparition du marié à la dernière minute.
01:20:18C'est vrai ?
01:20:19Pour en savoir plus, vous n'avez qu'à acheter le magazine.
01:20:32Tu ne m'en veux pas d'être en retard, je suis désolée.
01:20:35J'ai plus d'habitude chez vous d'être en retard.
01:20:38Tu as changé, je te trouve vraiment magnifique.
01:20:42Merci.
01:20:43Tu te fais faire un lifting à Paris ?
01:20:46Non, mais je me suis bien amusée.
01:20:48Tu vas me raconter tout ça.
01:20:51Viens voir, il faut que je te montre quelque chose.
01:20:58J'y crois pas.
01:20:59Ça alors, toi qui ne voulais même pas qu'on te prenne les pieds en photo.
01:21:02Ce ne sont pas tes pieds que je vois.
01:21:04Allez-vous-en, laissez-nous tranquille, vous.
01:21:07Elles sont géniales, qu'est-ce que t'es sexy.
01:21:10Je suis contente que tu te sois décidée.
01:21:12Oui, moi, je crois même qu'elles sont mieux que les miennes.
01:21:15Tu avais raison en tout cas, ça m'a beaucoup plu.
01:21:19Salut Johanna.
01:21:23Salut Denis.
01:21:24Je te laisse, salut, à plus tard.
01:21:30J'ignorais que tu étais rentrée.
01:21:33Je suis rentrée en début de semaine.
01:21:36Comment vas-tu ?
01:21:38Très bien, je dois dire.
01:21:41Tu es splendide.
01:21:43Merci.
01:21:46Je sais, j'avais dit que je te téléphonerais.
01:21:49Entre autres, tu m'as dit pas mal de choses.
01:21:52J'aurais bien aimé qu'on parle, on peut déjeuner ?
01:21:56Oui, si tu veux déjeuner.
01:21:59Très bien.
01:22:02Je te téléphone ?
01:22:04Oui.
01:22:06Je crois que cette fois tu le feras.
01:22:16Promets-moi de ne pas te faire avoir.
01:22:19Je ne ferai aucune promesse,
01:22:21sauf celle de te rendre mon argent.
01:22:23Promets-moi au moins une de tes photos.
01:22:33C'est celle-là.
01:22:38Je commençais à m'impatienter.
01:22:40Tant mieux.
01:22:47Tu as commandé quelque chose ?
01:22:49Non, je sais que tu détestes que je fasse ça.
01:22:52Voulez-vous la carte des vins ?
01:22:54Oui, merci.
01:22:59Château Bonnet, 1989.
01:23:01Excellent choix.
01:23:06Tout s'est bien passé pour toi ce mois-ci ?
01:23:09Plus ou moins.
01:23:11J'ai vu que tes actions avaient un peu chuté.
01:23:13T'as tendance à me dire que c'est parce que j'ai perdu.
01:23:16J'ai vu que tes actions avaient un peu chuté.
01:23:18La technologie a grimpé, l'industrie a baissé.
01:23:21Tu as dû perdre de l'argent.
01:23:23Tu t'intéresses au marché maintenant ?
01:23:26Oui.
01:23:27Disons pour résumer que mes centres d'intérêt se sont élargis.
01:23:33Parfait.
01:23:46Merci.
01:24:05Je vous sers, monsieur ?
01:24:06Allez-y.
01:24:07Bien.
01:24:14Merci.
01:24:17Qu'est-ce qui t'arrive ?
01:24:21Rien, pourquoi ?
01:24:23Je ne sais pas, tu as changé, tu n'es plus comme avant.
01:24:27Toi, par contre, tu n'as pas changé.
01:24:32Très bien.
01:24:35Essayons d'être plus pragmatiques.
01:24:38Non, je t'écoute.
01:24:41Avant ton départ...
01:24:43C'est toi qui es parti.
01:24:44C'est vrai.
01:24:45Avant que je m'en aille,
01:24:48tu voulais qu'on aille voir un spécialiste.
01:24:51Oui.
01:24:53On devrait peut-être le faire.
01:24:55Ta maîtresse nous accompagnera ?
01:24:58Touchée ?
01:25:00C'est une vraie question, je suis sérieuse.
01:25:03Je ne la vois plus maintenant.
01:25:05Je te rappelle qu'elle travaille avec toi.
01:25:08Je n'ai plus aucune relation intime avec elle.
01:25:12Ça aura été de courte durée ?
01:25:15Est-ce que ça valait le coup de gâcher dix ans pour ça ?
01:25:19Je ne crois pas.
01:25:25Écoute, Joanna.
01:25:28J'ai longuement réfléchi.
01:25:31On a toutes un long vécu derrière nous.
01:25:34Je voudrais...
01:25:35Je voudrais qu'on fasse un essai.
01:25:37Et qu'on revienne ensemble.
01:25:39J'aimerais qu'on fasse un essai.
01:25:41Et qu'on continue.
01:25:43Essayer et continuer ?
01:25:46Intéressant choix de mots.
01:25:50Tu n'as plus besoin d'espace.
01:25:55Au fait, et les sandwiches ?
01:25:57Tu as raison, je le mérite.
01:25:58Alors on est d'accord.
01:26:04Joanna.
01:26:06Tu me manques.
01:26:09C'est simple.
01:26:12Tu me manques.
01:26:15Qu'est-ce que tu en penses ?
01:26:18Si tu me donnais une nouvelle chance.
01:26:26Ça va faire trois mois et les lettres arrivent encore par dizaines.
01:26:29Tu as su toucher les gens.
01:26:31Alors, comment ça va ?
01:26:33Très bien.
01:26:35Très bien.
01:26:40Je suis presque divorcée.
01:26:43Si un jour on m'avait dit que tu m'annoncerais ça avec le sourire,
01:26:46je ne l'aurais pas cru.
01:26:48C'est tout de même bizarre.
01:26:50Dayla finit par me dire tout ce que je rêvais d'entendre depuis longtemps.
01:26:55Mais depuis mon séjour à Paris, c'est étrange.
01:26:59Je ne peux plus envisager ma vie de la même façon qu'avant.
01:27:01Tout a changé.
01:27:03Je ne veux pas refaire les mêmes erreurs.
01:27:05C'est vrai que tu es différente.
01:27:06Tu es métamorphosée.
01:27:07Tu me raconteras un jour ce qui t'est arrivé à Paris ?
01:27:10Non.
01:27:12Non ?
01:27:14J'ai un avion à prendre, il faut que j'y aille.
01:27:15Où vas-tu ?
01:27:16À Paris.
01:27:17Pourquoi ?
01:27:18Je vais au mariage de Madame Simone.
01:27:20Qu'est-ce que tu racontes ?
01:27:21Je suis demoiselle d'honneur.
01:27:23Quoi ?
01:27:25Et qui sait ?
01:27:27Je t'enverrai peut-être la suite du feuilleton.
01:27:31Parfois on peut vivre une vie entière en quelques semaines.
01:27:34Je le sais, ça m'est arrivé.
01:27:37J'ai eu la chance de découvrir que le bonheur,
01:27:39c'était de pouvoir choisir sa vie.
01:27:41Après tout, ce n'est pas une répétition générale.
01:27:44Il faut se jeter à l'eau.
01:27:45C'est maintenant ou jamais.
