Short filmTranscript
00:00:17We
00:00:18traveled. We laughed. We fought. We held hands through sad movies. Drove too fast. Walked
00:00:26too slow. We picked out paint swatches and debated life insurance policies. We did all
00:00:34the things that married couples do. And then one day, a door opens and... Surprise!
00:00:46Mom! Did you know about this? I know. I had no idea. That's my mother's hand. Mom.
00:00:57Margaret! I wonder if you could keep a secret, huh?
00:01:00There we go. Congratulations. Congratulations.
00:01:08Oh, pies. Mmm. Mmm.
00:01:15Look at you. Look at you.
00:01:16I always miss selling some pies. Congratulations.
00:01:20Did anyone invite you?
00:01:22Hi, Harry. This is great.
00:01:25Did they throw confetti? Evidence.
00:01:28I didn't miss the confetti, but I have a good excuse. You never guess what I did.
00:01:32Rob a makeup counter? Do I know, yeah. How soon they forget. Get lost. Come here.
00:01:38I can take her in. Congratulations. Hi. Hi. Hi. I'll talk to you in one minute.
00:01:47Hello. Why are you showing me these? Look close. Who is it? I took the wall photographs.
00:01:55This is you? Uh-huh. Oh, my God. You look so different.
00:01:59Mm-hmm.
00:02:00A feather boa and high heels? Yeah, isn't it a kick? Oh, and it gets better.
00:02:05I bought you a gift certificate for your anniversary. You're going to do it, too.
00:02:09Oh, no. Oh, yeah. No, no, no. I don't like people even seeing my feet.
00:02:13Oh, Dale will love it. He'll probably get an enlargement for over the fireplace.
00:02:17Yeah, just what we need to spice the place up. Hello?
00:02:20It might spice up something else if you get my two-minute meeting.
00:02:24Well, I appreciate the sentiment, but even if you paid me, I would never do this.
00:02:28Oh, come on. Don't knock it till you try it. Joanna?
00:02:33You could surprise yourself, Joanna.
00:02:34When we got together. Joanna, hi.
00:02:37This is great. I've got a chance to be here.
00:02:42Congratulations. I'm Catherine. I joined your husband's law firm about three months ago.
00:02:46Oh, hi. I know. Well, I hope he's let you go home at least once since then.
00:02:53We've worked some late nights together. But he's a wonderful man.
00:02:57I don't have to tell you that. Congratulations, sweetheart.
00:03:01Thanks, Mom. This is great.
00:03:05So, um, where were you before Gullah and Lehman? Dale did his homework. Stole me away.
00:03:15I got an assignment for you.
00:03:18That sounds suspicious.
00:03:20It's a good assignment.
00:03:22What?
00:03:23Just dangling the carrot. You'll come by the office tomorrow.
00:03:27Who's the redhead?
00:03:28Oh, um, lawyer.
00:03:30The room is full of them. They make me sweat. I didn't know you had so many friends.
00:03:36Most of them are Dales.
00:03:38What's a guy I have to do to get a drink around here?
00:03:41Out of me.
00:03:43There you go. Go, Joanna.
00:03:46Go, Joanna.
00:03:53You know what they say about marriage. It's your last best chance to grow up.
00:04:02I had to say something.
00:04:09Remember what you said at our wedding? During the toast?
00:04:15You said that you weren't afraid of growing old. That you were afraid of growing old without me. Remember?
00:04:26Did I say that?
00:04:28Yes.
00:04:31You still feel the same.
00:04:40Then I told that joke about the dog, right?
00:04:44The joke you remember.
00:04:46Yeah, of course.
00:04:58You need that layout.
00:05:00E.F.A.P.
00:05:01Hi, Jill.
00:05:02Hi, Joanna.
00:05:03How are you?
00:05:03Great.
00:05:08Okay, so you got me here.
00:05:10So cut to the chase, Harry.
00:05:12Okay.
00:05:13She's agreed to do the article.
00:05:15She just has to approve the writer.
00:05:18The woman in the center.
00:05:20Madame Simone.
00:05:21At the last coming out party she gave in Paris.
00:05:25Madame Simone.
00:05:28As in real madam?
00:05:30Yeah, sort of.
00:05:31She's hard to define.
00:05:33Try.
00:05:34All right.
00:05:36She handpicks these girls from chorus lines, runway shows.
00:05:40She selects their clothing, their lingerie, their makeup.
00:05:44She hires tutors to teach them art, history, wine, you name it.
00:05:49When all that's done, Madame Simone takes her little black book
00:05:53and she matches her girls to aristocrats, millionaires, prime ministers from all over the world.
00:06:00You've got to be kidding.
00:06:01She's a legend in Europe.
00:06:03She's a pimp.
00:06:04That's a little oversimplified, even for you.
00:06:07If she makes money off of it, she's a pimp.
00:06:10Sit down.
00:06:12She makes money for the introductions.
00:06:14These girls are not hawkers.
00:06:17It's more like a high-class dating service.
00:06:20And many of these girls end up marrying these men and raising families.
00:06:25So what's the punchline?
00:06:27I want you to fly to Paris.
00:06:28Do a feature article on her.
00:06:31A photographer will meet you there.
00:06:36Harry, I do investigative pieces.
00:06:40Sociological topics.
00:06:42What do I know about garter belts?
00:06:44Who knows about garter belts?
00:06:46That's why you're perfect.
00:06:47I want an investigative piece.
00:06:48Get behind the curtain.
00:06:51Find out who Madame Simone really is.
00:06:54Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
00:06:57A few weeks in Paris would be nice.
00:06:59Well, I appreciate the enthusiasm.
00:07:01No, you don't.
00:07:02It's flying right over your head.
00:07:03You should jump up and hug me and say,
00:07:05yes, Harry.
00:07:06Thank you, Harry.
00:07:08It is not a good time for me to leave town right now.
00:07:11I need to stay home and look at things.
00:07:15Look at things.
00:07:16What are we talking, sunsets?
00:07:18Or your husband?
00:07:21I haven't looked at a sunset in a very long time.
00:07:25We've known each other forever, you and I.
00:07:27What's going on?
00:07:32I think he might be thinking of someone else.
00:07:37Thinking.
00:07:37That's all.
00:07:39Maybe more, I don't know.
00:07:41Okay.
00:07:42So I hate him.
00:07:44But I love him.
00:07:47I hesitate to say this.
00:07:49No, but you will anyway.
00:07:50You've been smart about everything in your life, Johanna.
00:07:53Except Dale.
00:07:59Nevertheless, this is not a good time for me to leave town.
00:08:02So, you will have to give Madame Simone to someone else.
00:08:06Hey.
00:08:07I just want to make sure you're okay.
00:08:11I will be.
00:08:27Oh, wait.
00:08:29Going over some breaks for tomorrow.
00:08:34So how is it, Dale?
00:08:37What?
00:08:39Our marriage.
00:08:43I'm wondering if you're still here.
00:08:46I'm just tired.
00:08:48If it's going to be bad, don't make me work so hard for it.
00:08:55Do you want it?
00:09:17Do you want it?
00:09:22We moved to our own corners
00:09:27You come home late
00:09:30We haven't made love in over two months
00:09:35You have a choice between making love and making a sandwich
00:09:40You pick the sandwich that should tell you something. I just thought you were hungry
00:09:53You can't deny we've been lost for some time. What happened what changed nothing you are very much the woman
00:10:04I married
00:10:07What is that supposed to mean?
00:10:11I was looking for calm stability. You were it
00:10:17And now I don't need the same things anymore
00:10:29So you've used me up and now it's time to move on it's not it well then what is it
00:10:36Dale?
00:10:37You might want to be clear this could be important
00:10:45We should talk about space
00:10:51Space
00:10:54I'm just saying a break
00:10:59People who have been married ten years do not take a break
00:11:03That is not what they do
00:11:09We should try counseling. I have mentioned it before. I'm not sure
00:11:15I've looked into it. Joanna. I'm not sure we should stay married
00:11:35I believe her name was
00:11:37Catherine
00:11:39Is that it?
00:11:40All right
00:12:00I
00:12:02said it to you yesterday I didn't really believe it
00:12:10what did he say space time another woman great guy it felt really really bad
00:12:25feels worse now you just took the bullet you've got to give it some time and you
00:12:31want to know the really terrible thing he didn't even have the decency to leave me
00:12:36for a younger woman she's my age
00:12:41you'll land I've known you for a long time BD before Dale
00:12:54I can't even remember a time before him it's like every memory has him in it
00:13:02selective memory will kill you don't do this to yourself
00:13:09you know the last thing I said to him
00:13:13I told him that he forgot his toothbrush
00:13:20I really said that
00:13:26I cannot just stand and stare at the empty spaces in the house
00:13:30even the refrigerator makes me sad
00:13:35I gotta get out of town I gotta change something
00:13:39is Paris still an option
00:13:43Paris are you sure
00:13:46tell Madame Simone to get ready for her close-up
00:13:57Oh
00:13:58that's it
00:13:59Oh, my God.
00:14:44I'll be asked to wait, then I'll take you back to the hotel.
00:15:05I'll take you back to the hotel.
00:15:19I'll take you back to the hotel.
00:15:42I'll take you back.
00:15:49You are Joanna Scott.
00:15:52I am Madame Simone.
00:15:54Your subject.
00:15:57No, I'm sorry, but it's impossible.
00:16:00I'll remind you later in the day.
00:16:03At 4 o'clock, yes.
00:16:05Very good.
00:16:06My apologies.
00:16:08Where were we?
00:16:09Just saying hello.
00:16:11Oh, hello.
00:16:12Come.
00:16:14Let me move this chair for you.
00:16:16And voila.
00:16:17That's it.
00:16:20Have you been to Paris before?
00:16:22Yes.
00:16:23Once.
00:16:25Honeymoon.
00:16:26Yes.
00:16:28Divorced?
00:16:30Why would you ask that?
00:16:31Oh, to see if you would answer.
00:16:35I'm married.
00:16:37Going on 10 years.
00:16:39Really?
00:16:42Really?
00:16:43Yes.
00:16:46This is supposed to be just a general first meeting.
00:16:49In general, I laugh at dirty jokes if they are funny.
00:16:53I smoke a cigar when the moment takes me.
00:16:55And I do not care for the way your left eyebrow lifted when you said hello.
00:17:04I believe that we should do not bother to defend.
00:17:06Dump out your purse.
00:17:08Excuse me?
00:17:09I might.
00:17:11Dump it.
00:17:14Why?
00:17:33You will do.
00:17:35If I had discovered crumpled dollar bills and old candy wrappers, I would have shown you
00:17:40the door.
00:17:42This is my girl's first test.
00:17:44I thought maybe you should pass too.
00:17:46Shall we talk about your girls?
00:17:48We do not need to talk.
00:17:49We can meet.
00:17:56Envoyez Suzette and Wendy, s'il vous plaît.
00:17:58Oui, madame.
00:17:58Merci.
00:18:02Ah, Wendy, Suzette, this is Joanna Scott.
00:18:06Bonjour.
00:18:06Hello.
00:18:08Hello.
00:18:10Come on.
00:18:17What do you think?
00:18:18Quelque chose de meilleur.
00:18:20It lacks something.
00:18:22It lacks grace.
00:18:23It is too formidable.
00:18:24It's too float.
00:18:26This isn't just for a date.
00:18:29I'm getting married.
00:18:31To one of Madame Simone's clients?
00:18:34Mm-hmm.
00:18:35She introduced us.
00:18:37She's also giving me away.
00:18:38Only if he is true.
00:18:40If I see anything else, I will shoot him on sight.
00:18:44You think he is wonderful.
00:18:48Yes, chérie.
00:18:48In fact, I do.
00:18:53Find something else.
00:18:54So we try again.
00:18:56Do many of your girls marry clients?
00:19:01Let us get the verbiage out of the way.
00:19:03Girls and clients.
00:19:05That was Wendy.
00:19:07She's a lovely young woman from Oklahoma.
00:19:09I met her at a Paris Couture show.
00:19:12She has a golden setter puppy and a stamp collection.
00:19:18Her fiancé is Mr. Rick Stockwell, an industrious, globe-trotting financier.
00:19:26He also has a setter.
00:19:28A stable of horses, collects old coins, and splendid oil paintings.
00:19:35Well, it all sounds very impressive when you wrap it up in a nice bow.
00:19:40But it's still just about sex, isn't it?
00:19:43I do not set up sex.
00:19:46I set up the dream.
00:19:48Which is?
00:19:50Romance.
00:19:52Companionship.
00:19:53Devotion.
00:19:55Almost anyone can get sex.
00:19:58Sex is easy.
00:20:00But you do teach these girls to seduce.
00:20:04Seduction is about emotion.
00:20:06It is not a physical act.
00:20:08So you're telling me that these girls do not sleep with the man on the first date?
00:20:13Do you sleep with the man on your first date?
00:20:16I don't see how that's relevant.
00:20:17They're just like anyone else.
00:20:19If they like the gentleman, they do as they please.
00:20:23And if they do not, they leave him at the curb.
00:20:26So what is the point?
00:20:29Ah, Americans.
00:20:31What is the fastest way from point A to point B?
00:20:35A straight line.
00:20:36Non, chérie.
00:20:36A soft girl.
00:20:43Come.
00:20:50Why did you agree to this interview now?
00:20:54Oh, New York called.
00:20:55It was one of those days.
00:20:57I said yes.
00:21:00Yes.
00:21:00You are not used to topics with sugar on top.
00:21:04I am not Bill Gates.
00:21:09And did he dazzle you with his knowledge of computer chips?
00:21:13You read my book.
00:21:15You are not the only one to do research.
00:21:19Why did they choose you to write this?
00:21:23Why?
00:21:23That is my question, yes.
00:21:27I suppose it's because I always come back with a solid story.
00:21:31Somehow, I think you were chosen for another reason.
00:21:36Meaning what?
00:21:36Something hangs in your voice, like an unfinished thought.
00:21:44We shall see.
00:21:51Ah, I like this new dress.
00:21:57Do you like it?
00:21:58I love it.
00:21:59Yes, you look beautiful.
00:22:01It floats.
00:22:02C'est très bien.
00:22:03C'est très bien, les enfants.
00:22:04Come on.
00:22:05Hey, let's go.
00:22:07Tomorrow, I have a meeting with Mr. François Bouchon.
00:22:10He is the third richest man in France.
00:22:12We shall start then.
00:22:14Is he a client?
00:22:16If I decide he is.
00:22:18Merci, madame.
00:22:22Madame Simone can best be described as an illusionist, an expert, I suspect, at sleight of hand.
00:22:30She claims that she brokers dreams in long white gowns, but I still hold that she brokers sex, plain and
00:22:39simple.
00:22:40She does, however, have an abrupt honesty, which I can suddenly appreciate.
00:22:47She asked why I came to Paris.
00:22:50I hope to answer that before I leave.
00:22:56It was a splendid race.
00:22:59Your horse lost by a nose.
00:23:01You keep an eye on the races.
00:23:03Bien sûr, Monsieur Bouchon.
00:23:05I keep my eye on everything.
00:23:07For instance, you.
00:23:10Your tates run to married women.
00:23:15Without children, with long dark hair, and slim waists.
00:23:22How can you know this?
00:23:27I am trying to refine my tastes.
00:23:31Really?
00:23:32I am going to finally inherit the family chateau.
00:23:36My father demands that I refine my tastes.
00:23:39Which means?
00:23:41Nice girl, no husband.
00:23:43I understand.
00:23:45And preferably with a slim waist.
00:23:49I will see what I can do.
00:23:52Merci.
00:23:55Sadly, I must leave my...
00:23:58Horse runs at nine.
00:24:01I wonder about you.
00:24:03That is good.
00:24:05I do not wonder about you.
00:24:10When you describe me in your article, remember to use a debonair.
00:24:14I like the sound of it.
00:24:16Madame.
00:24:20Even though you will, of course, change my name.
00:24:26Of course.
00:24:29Or what?
00:24:34Was he for real?
00:24:36He conducts himself badly.
00:24:38But I suspect he will improve.
00:24:40Chateaus tend to do that.
00:24:45Do you have someone in mind for him?
00:24:47Oh, I already have a young lady who knows all his horses' names.
00:24:51Really?
00:24:52Rule one.
00:24:53Know your target.
00:24:55So you manipulate the situation?
00:24:58Absolutely.
00:24:59It is my specialty.
00:25:02And rule two?
00:25:03It is an American expression, I think.
00:25:05If you've got it, flaunt it.
00:25:09And you still claim to not be selling sex.
00:25:12No, no, no.
00:25:13Let us be clear.
00:25:14In America, women are not allowed to be both sexy and smart.
00:25:21If a woman shows her body, she is not to be taken seriously in business.
00:25:25She is cheap.
00:25:26In Europe, if she has a nice body, that is merely another asset to the deal.
00:25:32She is taken seriously, and she has a good body.
00:25:36Everyone is happy.
00:25:38How do you get to that?
00:25:40Look around our topless beaches.
00:25:42The men gawking around, tripping over sand, are always Americans.
00:25:46For us, it is nothing.
00:25:48It is merely an attitude.
00:25:51Flames do not belong under bushels.
00:25:54Like you, for example.
00:25:57Me.
00:25:59You hide it very well.
00:26:01But it is there.
00:26:04Burning.
00:26:08Appearances are superficial.
00:26:10True.
00:26:11But also true.
00:26:13Appearances are how we are first judged.
00:26:15When you go for dinner, how do you dress?
00:26:18What does that matter?
00:26:19Well, do you change from your business attire?
00:26:22No.
00:26:24Why?
00:26:24You want the man to see the whole package.
00:26:27Inside and out.
00:26:29Of course.
00:26:30You have to entice him to open the package first.
00:26:36I am sure your husband would agree.
00:26:52Is something the matter?
00:26:57No.
00:27:00Let's return to my questions.
00:27:02Shall we?
00:27:03If it makes you more comfortable.
00:27:06Have you ever been married?
00:27:08Yes.
00:27:09My husband left me for another woman.
00:27:12You say that so simply.
00:27:14When it happens, it is simple.
00:27:17Terrible and simple.
00:27:20It was 25 years ago.
00:27:22It was happening to many of my friends.
00:27:25So I took a look.
00:27:27A good look.
00:27:29At the young ladies who were taking our men.
00:27:34I studied them.
00:27:36And decided to pass on to others what I had learned.
00:27:39And Madame Simone was born?
00:27:42Emmanuel speaking.
00:27:45Are there men in your life?
00:27:46There are men who pursue me.
00:27:49Some amuse me.
00:27:52Some challenge me.
00:27:53Some touch me.
00:27:55But none of them changes me.
00:27:59And is that what you're looking for?
00:28:01Isn't that what we are all looking for?
00:28:04The one who makes us better than we are alone.
00:28:10When did your husband leave?
00:28:12I didn't say that one.
00:28:22Recently, one thing I've learned, if you have inner confidence, they will return.
00:28:30And then, you get to decide if they stay or if they go.
00:28:37And, on that note, we should go.
00:28:47Madame.
00:28:49Bonsoir.
00:28:50Bonsoir.
00:28:54Am I on the list?
00:28:56I must be on the list.
00:28:58You, sir, are always on the list.
00:29:00Ah.
00:29:01Merci.
00:29:03Merci.
00:29:06What list?
00:29:08Each year, I have a grant coming out of them for my finest ladies.
00:29:12If I inform all over the world, it has become quite an invitation.
00:29:16It is at the end of the month.
00:29:18I've taken six to prepare it, and you will write all about it.
00:29:24Well, I look forward to it.
00:29:27Tomorrow night, you will come to one of my weekly soirees.
00:29:30And you can pretend to look forward to that, too.
00:29:34You think I'm insincere?
00:29:36I think you are speeding along a highway, trying to look at the view.
00:29:40When you slow down, get out of the car.
00:29:44I will know.
00:29:56Good morning.
00:29:58Good morning.

00:33:04i see you are not convinced you're right

00:33:48the dumb simones tonight oh she tried to sell you to the highest bidder
00:33:54no but she did suggest that i do some in-depth research you
00:34:05what is that so funny well yeah i mean i don't mean that in a bad way
00:34:12anything is just so unlike you that seems to be the general consensus
00:34:21so have you seen him joanna we shouldn't do this just go to bed what he wasn't alone
00:34:32no no i was at that trendy new place in the east village five points

00:34:47always too busy
00:34:52he was always too busy
00:35:05hello madame simone did i wake you oh no i never sleep after a party i plot
00:35:12i was wondering yes what you said earlier about teaching me to get any man in the room you want
00:35:19a
00:35:19man let's just say that i would like to do some first-hand research
00:35:41who will i be it's one of those questions that adults ask children like what do you want to be
00:35:47when
00:35:47you grow up did i ever once reply a serious businesswoman with sensible shoes and a cheating
00:35:54husband dreams wilt that's where madame simone comes in we shall begin with the first rule of holes
00:36:05when you are in one stop digging we must examine your most significant relationship
00:36:12so that others will not follow the same path why did your husband leave why did he leave
00:36:21he
00:36:25said i was the same woman he married
00:36:29no exceptions just cliches i hope you found something suitably hard to throw at him
00:36:38we will prove him wrong by making you the exception i will say a word and you say whatever comes
00:36:46in your head
00:36:47without thought why exactly to see where it leads of course
00:36:54man woman love marriage time clock sex
00:37:06bedroom bedroom that is not what you are going to say no i was going to say none none
00:37:19so this is where the game takes us to none you dislike sex
00:37:27no it's not that i dislike it i just it just doesn't occur to me why is that
00:37:35i suppose it's because
00:37:38it didn't happen that often did it never occur to you when i was younger
00:37:47where is the girl what girl the girl who used to spiral through the fields barefoot her hair falling wild
00:38:00leaving homemade valentines for boys on their doorsteps
00:38:11she went to an all-female prep school
00:38:16studied journalism worked hard
00:38:22met who she thought was the perfect man and forgot to have fun on the way
00:38:29i have fun
00:38:32let's just redefine fun that slightly tipsy feeling you get after your third sip of champagne
00:38:41when you feel as if you could try anything
00:38:46you're not afraid that is the feeling i'm searching for for you
00:38:54maybe i should just start drinking
00:38:59you have been serious and responsible most of your life yes it comes naturally to me
00:39:06i mean i never worried about competing for boys i worried about setting the grade curve
00:39:11i understand that i even admire it
00:39:16but as a career woman you have been forced to take on certain male traits
00:39:22you feared if you showed your sexuality you would not be taken seriously so joanna it is time to shed
00:39:27this especially after hours
00:39:33i really don't think i can
00:39:36it's who i am you're right you can't
00:39:41i can't but mrs x can
00:39:46you will not be joanna you will be mrs x and she can do whatever the hell she wants she
00:39:53is a clean slate
00:39:55mrs x i do not have to teach mrs x how to walk into maxim's or how to go to
00:40:01the elize palace
00:40:02she's already cultured well-spoken has perfect manners she's ahead of the game but foreplay intimacy
00:40:14how to get what you want from a man this i can teach her how first
00:40:23appearances are important they always have been and they always will be and mrs x is in need of a
00:40:33new angle
00:40:35hervey could you send the car please we shall try a little of what paris is known for
00:40:42which is illusion of course
00:41:04too young
00:41:33i had always thought of my suits as my armor against the business world
00:41:38but now i saw another way a way to dress it up and still be tough and smart underneath
00:41:44buying the dresses that the other girls wore didn't make me any less me
00:41:49it just gave me more angles to play
00:41:54keep your eyes closed
00:41:58ow ow that hurts change hurts
00:42:04i usually just wear sheer lipstick lipstick lipstick lipstick
00:42:10remember those three words
00:42:14a new lipstick shade can change everything
00:42:39i've got some
00:42:47i'll see you
00:42:49Oh!
00:42:52Hello?
00:43:02We have completed the exterior.
00:43:06Yes, but it's ridiculous, isn't it?
00:43:09I mean, everyone's gonna know I'm just a sheep in wolf's clothing.
00:43:14Nonsense.
00:43:16How about the foreplay?
00:43:18First, eye contact.
00:43:29Nothing is more important.
00:43:32Hang on his eyes as if glued to them.
00:43:37Then add the little head nod.
00:43:42Keep your eyes focused on him.
00:43:44Even if you are thinking about the laundry, men think you are thinking about them.
00:43:50You have his total attention.
00:43:53You are in control.
00:43:56And then you drink.
00:43:59And then you drink.
00:44:17I can guarantee your reaction.
00:44:28I can guarantee your reaction.
00:44:35The next week, I'll go to Nice with friends for a trip on my yacht.
00:44:39I invite you to join us for a few days.
00:44:44Here's my card.
00:44:48Call me.
00:44:51Bye.
00:44:51A quoi?
00:44:51Au revoir.
00:44:59What did he just say?
00:45:00He offered an invitation on his yacht.
00:45:04I can't believe that worked.
00:45:06Make it your business to know something about wine.
00:45:11When the waiter comes to the table, he opens it and pours it for the gentleman to taste.
00:45:17He will help your man taste the wine.
00:45:23Dip your finger.
00:45:30Run it across his lips.
00:45:41He's neutralized. He's yours.
00:45:45Well, that is quite the showstopper.
00:45:49It is fine. Pour, please.
00:45:54I just don't think I can pull this off with a straight face.
00:45:57This is why you're on Mrs. X.
00:46:02Right. I keep forgetting.
00:46:06Today we cover three essentials.
00:46:09Underwear.
00:46:11Kissing.
00:46:12And flesh.
00:46:13Just like high school.
00:46:16Pantyhose are a turn off.
00:46:18You hate them.
00:46:20I hate them.
00:46:21And he hates them.
00:46:24Stockings and a garter belt.
00:46:27And a teddy to be worn, underskirts and blouses.
00:46:31Even if no one ever sees them.
00:46:33You will know they are there.
00:46:35You will carry yourself differently.
00:46:37Sexually.
00:46:39Go here.
00:46:41Patrice will find you something delicious.
00:46:43And now.
00:46:45The kiss.
00:46:47I have a book for you.
00:46:50A book on kissing?
00:46:52The book will instruct you on specific passion spots.
00:46:56In general, any skin covered by clothing is a good place to start.
00:47:02What would you like to practice?
00:47:04Practice?
00:47:06Hervé!
00:47:07Yes?
00:47:15How do you practice kissing, Hervé?
00:47:17Am we lean?
00:47:23No.
00:47:25No.
00:47:26No.
00:47:26Even Mrs. X is not going to practice kissing.
00:47:30If you are sure.
00:47:33I'm sure.
00:47:36Go and wash the car.
00:47:38But I would rather kiss.
00:47:40Go and kiss Monique.
00:47:42You love doing that.
00:47:44You love embarrassing me.
00:47:47It's all part of it.
00:47:49Each time you are less embarrassed.
00:47:51That is my goal.
00:47:53I have a meeting with a gentleman and then some last details for my party.
00:47:58Look at this tape in my office.
00:48:01What is it?
00:48:03Some would call it soft porn.
00:48:05But I call it a learning experience.
00:48:09Another test.
00:48:10Watch it.
00:48:11Take something useful from it.
00:48:13And go on with your day.
00:48:15You make it sound like it's a cooking video.
00:48:18Oh no.
00:48:18For cooking you need to watch at least two.
00:48:22Hello.
00:48:23How are you?
00:48:24Très bien.
00:48:25Bonjour.
00:48:26Bonjour.
00:48:27This is her.
00:48:28This is my girl.
00:48:29Keep your girl in your holster.
00:48:32One moment.
00:48:37I don't suppose you would like to practice with him.
00:48:44You're testing again.
00:48:46You know you're testing again.
00:48:46You're testing again.
00:49:03I know you're testing again.
00:49:04Oh no.
00:49:13And I know you're testing again.
00:49:15Or we're testing now.
00:49:15In the morning, mother.
00:49:30Oh, my God.
00:49:48Oh, my God.
00:49:49Oh, my God!
00:49:51I would never, ever expect that you'd...
00:49:54Madam Simone gave me...
00:49:56I...
00:50:02I was watching a...
00:50:04Yes, I saw that.
00:50:07May I ask why?
00:50:09I thought that maybe I might be able to pick up some...
00:50:14What?
00:50:18Tips.
00:50:23Yes, it's beautiful.
00:50:25You are beautifully honest.
00:50:29You know what?
00:50:31I can give you all the tips you need.
00:50:34Oh, there goes that charm again.
00:50:37Charm and truth.
00:50:39Truth.
00:50:41I see that Madam Simone has done up your hair.
00:50:44Yes.
00:50:45Among other things.
00:50:48I approve.
00:50:51Well, we'll see you at four.
00:50:54Four?
00:50:55Four?
00:50:57It is why I came.
00:50:58To confirm a four o'clock meeting at my loft.
00:51:01To look at the proof.
00:51:04Oh.
00:51:05Sorry.
00:51:06I forgot.
00:51:08Yeah, well, your mind was on something else.
00:51:13Madam left this for you to watch back at the hotel.
00:51:22Oh, I'm sure it's a cooking video.
00:51:27Cooking.
00:51:29Cooking.
00:51:36Of course, you've got the ball.
00:51:49We all know how to put our clothes on.
00:51:51But let's go over the proper way to remove them.
00:51:55Stripping for your man.
00:51:57What?
00:51:59Let the music guide you.
00:52:01Feel it.
00:52:03Move to it.
00:52:06What the hell?
00:52:07You're on the list.
00:52:15Hi.
00:52:16Oh, I am so sorry I'm late.
00:52:18I was...
00:52:19I do not want to know.
00:52:26Oh, wow.
00:52:31Oh, these are beautiful.
00:52:34I had no idea you did work like this.
00:52:36I shoot magazine layouts for money.
00:52:39These I do for soul.
00:52:42You're wonderful.
00:52:43I keep telling you that.
00:52:45Here.
00:52:50Madam.
00:53:00Oh, you've really captured her here.
00:53:03I wonder what she was thinking.
00:53:05When you know that, you have your story.
00:53:09This is the lead shot.
00:53:10I thought just the same.
00:53:13You should let me shoot you.
00:53:15Oh, I take terrible pictures.
00:53:16Mm-hmm.
00:53:17Shoot you.
00:53:18Like that.
00:53:20I don't think so.
00:53:21You answer too quick.
00:53:22You like my work, no?
00:53:24I don't look like that.
00:53:27That is the point.
00:53:31I make a contract.
00:53:33You pose for me.
00:53:34I take you to the best restaurant in all of Paris for dinner.
00:53:39I believe that's called a date.
00:53:40I would like to date you.
00:53:41I'm married.
00:53:42You're in Paris.
00:53:43It does not count.
00:53:44Oh, an answer for everything.
00:53:47You will pose for me?
00:53:48Yes, I will.
00:53:50Oh, my God.
00:53:51Did I just say that?
00:53:53Mm-hmm.
00:53:55Bellissima.
00:54:00Feel free to do whatever you want.
00:54:02Whatever.
00:54:10Very nice.
00:54:14Oh, yes.
00:54:16Oh, yes, yes, yes.
00:54:17Like that.
00:54:19Bellissima.
00:54:21Unbutton your sweater a little bit.
00:54:25Just a bit.
00:54:27Like that.
00:54:29You too.
00:54:41Good.
00:54:41Good.

00:54:54Good.
00:54:57Good.
00:54:59Good.
00:55:09Just, uh, two more, see?
00:55:17You owe me dinner.
00:55:20Happily.
00:55:35I admit, after we met, I went out and bought your latest book.
00:55:41Really?
00:55:42Mm-hmm.
00:55:43And?
00:55:44The subject was very difficult, but you are quite talented.
00:55:51I tried to make it personal.
00:55:54Personal?
00:55:54Yes, like, um, a story you tell to someone, so that it can be appreciated.
00:56:03It is how I approach my photography as well.
00:56:07I always appreciate my subject.
00:56:16To my most beautiful subject.
00:56:26You mentioned her husband.
00:56:28Yes, you were listening.
00:56:30When I must.
00:56:33He's gone.
00:56:34Gone?
00:56:35Where has he gone?
00:56:39He...
00:56:41Oh, hell.
00:56:42He left me for another woman.
00:56:45I don't believe it.
00:56:46He has you.
00:56:49Yes.
00:56:50He's a fool.
00:56:52Forget him.
00:56:56It's Maya.
00:56:58The first I've seen without being coaxed for a camera.
00:57:01There is hope, after all.
00:57:08Where exactly do you think this is leading?
00:57:14To a strong friendship, I hope.
00:57:19I would like that.
00:57:21Love, it is just friendship on fire.
00:57:52Good morning.
00:57:53Good morning.
00:57:53You are flush.
00:57:54no I'm not where were you last night I are you shooting shooting pictures
00:58:08Arja d'Orsa I underestimated you I would never make that mistake again
00:58:19what's this Wendy asked to see it this is you when I look at that he's very handsome
00:58:33mm-hmm you do not know the half of it tell me
00:58:41we met in Cannes
00:58:48he walked out of the water and stood in front of me
00:58:57I thought a god had fallen from the sky but then he spoke to me
00:59:05and I was sure a god had fallen from the sky
00:59:11was it a long romance no we fell quickly we were married within one year for how long
00:59:18mm-hmm four years later he left another woman saw him walking from the waters he
00:59:27forgot about me I kept walking he wasn't kind kind yes he could be kind but mainly he was
00:59:42young and brazen I needed brazen I needed him
00:59:53that is something I never thought I'd hear you say
01:00:01that was a long time ago we learn and did he learn what's an interesting question we had fun in
01:00:1325 years no one has even come close
01:00:16where is he now he he slipped away he like a mystery I never quite solved
01:00:34most people consider you quite a mystery mystery how so a woman who
01:00:42arranges love it stays so far away from it herself well I doubted people even to
01:00:49think about this I have yes well you have spent more time than most you're still looking
01:01:10for the one who makes you better than you are alone it is not simple to find but when you
01:01:17do
01:01:21it is everything
01:01:31madame I called he left this flat an hour ago it takes him 10 minutes to get here
01:01:38I mean come I will see to it

01:01:56okay I have had nightmares about this standing alone at the altar alone in my wedding dress
01:02:09with a smile frozen on my face and he never shows up this time I'm awake
01:02:14he seemed very sincere when I saw him with you everything I worked toward all the studies it was all
01:02:22a waste
01:02:23how can you say that no matter what happens you still have you
01:02:28that's easy for you to say you have a husband who loves you things like this don't happen to you
01:02:35he doesn't love me
01:02:37what happened what did you find out
01:02:39he was on his way he changed his mind
01:02:41he had a manual to accident
01:02:42oh yeah it's all right
01:02:44but he was unconscious for a few minutes
01:02:47oh my god

01:03:20it turned out to be quite a pleasant part
01:03:24two of my young women found suitable men
01:03:28did you talk to Wendy?
01:03:29of course
01:03:31I think it's quite original
01:03:33the doctor refusing to release Rick and having been married at the hospital
01:03:39mon dieu, our lives hang by a thread
01:03:46Wendy's happy
01:03:48delirious
01:03:49the nurse took lots of pictures
01:03:53will it last?
01:03:54it has as good a chance as anything else in this life
01:03:56the list for the party
01:03:58oh, thank you
01:04:03for you
01:04:05me?
01:04:06oui
01:04:24did you send this?
01:04:28I wish I could take credit for it
01:04:31but I've been so busy with my lady's dresses
01:04:33I never got one for you
01:04:40elegant and sexy
01:04:41just like you
01:04:45Francesco
01:04:46you have impressed him
01:04:49and he has impressed me
01:04:56does he do this often?
01:04:58romance your young women?
01:05:00I tried to find him
01:05:01I tried to find him a woman once
01:05:03but he was so serious in his refusal
01:05:05I did not do it again
01:05:08good
01:05:30Mrs. X is enjoying herself
01:05:32I feel so free
01:05:36it was always there
01:05:37you just hid it well
01:05:41I never thought a man like that would be interested in me
01:05:45what kind of man?
01:05:48young
01:05:50sexy
01:05:50oh, yes
01:05:58oh, this is ridiculous
01:06:05why am I crying?
01:06:09to be happy
01:06:10you must risk unhappiness
01:06:13it is good
01:06:15this is not good
01:06:20I have been on a rollercoaster ever since Dale left
01:06:24what did you expect from this marriage?
01:06:29I suppose
01:06:33a level playing field
01:06:39and someone who would love me
01:06:41for my talent
01:06:42and my independence
01:06:47and someone who would occasionally
01:06:51know that I just needed to be held
01:06:55sometimes we try to
01:06:56change people
01:06:58situations
01:06:59without even realizing we are doing it
01:07:01the irony is
01:07:04changing another person
01:07:06truly changing who they are
01:07:08can never be successful
01:07:09that is ironic
01:07:12coming from you
01:07:14when I find my young ladies
01:07:17in some I see potential
01:07:18that was simply
01:07:19not been given a chance
01:07:21to rise to the top
01:07:23and in others
01:07:24I know it will never rise
01:07:28people cannot be changed
01:07:30just
01:07:31enhanced
01:07:34that is why I see
01:07:35such potential in you, Joanna
01:07:39you see me as a student
01:07:41I see you
01:07:43as my best student
01:07:45ever
01:07:45Joanna
01:07:46the
01:07:59well

01:08:10hello
01:08:12hello
01:08:15hello
01:08:16hello
01:08:16hello
01:08:16hello
01:08:16hello
01:08:16hello
01:08:19Good evening, I'm coming for equipment in two minutes.
01:08:30Excuse me, Francesco, madame.
01:08:36Oh, Joanna.
01:08:46I feel like Cinderella.
01:08:49So now you know how my young ladies feel.
01:08:52Ah, excuse me, Monsieur Cortez.
01:08:55Madame Simon.
01:08:56Comment allez-vous?
01:08:57Très bien, merci.
01:08:58Très, très bien. Formidable.
01:09:00May I present Miss Guedes?
01:09:02El gusto es mio.
01:09:04Encantava, senor.
01:09:05Could you be kind to accompany her?
01:09:07With pleasure.
01:09:09Eric.
01:09:10Simon, bonjour.
01:09:13The dress is perfect.
01:09:17The dress means nothing without the woman in it.
01:09:20And what a woman.
01:09:23Can I have this dance?
01:09:25Well, we should be working.
01:09:27Business and pleasure are so much fun to mix, no?
01:09:30I agree.
01:09:40The night's young, and anything could happen.
01:09:44Hmm.
01:09:45What was it that I detected in your voice?
01:09:47Oh, nothing.
01:09:50You are up to something.
01:09:53I am your photographer, you know.
01:09:55You're supposed to inform me of things.
01:09:58That would make things rather dull, don't you think?
01:10:03You will never be dull, darling.
01:10:05I think...
01:10:23Are you alright?
01:10:24Right. Things are going wonderfully.
01:10:29That wasn't my question.
01:10:32I am fine. I am always fine.
01:10:35You haven't danced.
01:10:37I make it a rule never to dance at my own events.
01:10:40And why is that?
01:10:42It would take a worthy man.
01:10:45And all the worthy ones are taken by my young ladies.
01:10:51I was wondering...
01:10:55Do you have regrets?
01:11:01Life is too short for regrets.
01:11:05And that's your answer?
01:11:08I have...
01:11:10Thoughts.
01:11:12About choices I made.
01:11:17The dreams we have when we are young.
01:11:20And reality when we are smart.
01:11:27You still love your ex-husband.
01:11:29I love the memory of him.
01:11:34What if he were to walk up behind you right now?
01:11:38And tell you that he had learned.
01:11:41That he was smarter.
01:11:43And oh so sorry.
01:11:47I would have serious doubts believing it was him.
01:11:52If I could prove it.
01:11:56Madame Simone.
01:11:58May I introduce Monsieur Warren Duxet.
01:12:03Who is older.
01:12:05Wiser.
01:12:06And so very sorry.
01:12:10And so very sorry.
01:12:22You did this.
01:12:28Yes.
01:12:30I hope you're not angry.
01:12:37There will always be time to consider anger later.
01:12:42Right now there's music.
01:12:44And I believe it was you who once told me that music above all should never be wasted.
01:12:55You'll remember.
01:12:58You'll remember.
01:12:58Yes.
01:12:58I remember many things.
01:13:03May I have this dance?
01:13:12Yes, you're me.
01:13:15Yes, you're me.
01:14:04And now you have your story.
01:14:08I didn't do it for a story.
01:14:12I could fall in love with your heart.
01:14:33Good morning.
01:14:37Buongiorno.
01:14:39It was wonderful.
01:14:42I agree.
01:14:44So come back to bed.
01:14:46No.
01:14:48I have to go.
01:14:51Go?
01:14:53My research on Madame Simone is done.
01:14:58But what about us?
01:15:02I think we both know the answer to that.
01:15:06But it wouldn't last.
01:15:09It shouldn't last.
01:15:15But you have taught me many things.
01:15:19Many happy things.
01:15:24I will miss you, Joana.
01:15:29A part of me will always be in Paris.
01:15:50May I come in?
01:15:52How did you find him?
01:15:55It wasn't easy.
01:15:57My editor found him and flew him in.
01:16:01You took a chance.
01:16:02Should I be sorry?
01:16:05For taking a chance?
01:16:08Never.
01:16:15So what's he like?
01:16:17He's different.
01:16:19Older.
01:16:20Perhaps wiser.
01:16:22But still brazen?
01:16:24Yes.
01:16:25He is still brazen.
01:16:29And divorced.
01:16:31He married one more time.
01:16:32He did not last.
01:16:35He has been alone a long time.
01:16:38And?
01:16:39Now you are hoping for a happy ending.
01:16:43Yeah.
01:16:44I'm a sucker for that.
01:16:46We are having dinner tonight.
01:16:48We will see.
01:16:51Well, he has come back.
01:16:54Now you get to decide.
01:16:57You have been listening.
01:16:59Yes, I have.
01:17:01Oh.
01:17:03I shall miss you, Joanna.
01:17:09You represent something that I do not see very often.
01:17:13A mind and a strength.
01:17:18It is comforting somehow.
01:17:28And here I tried so hard to learn to be vulnerable.
01:17:32Sexy.
01:17:35Oh, chérie.
01:17:40Venez.
01:17:45You know by now that the difference lies not in how you dress or even in how you act,
01:17:52but in how comfortable you are with yourself.
01:17:57If you believe it, they believe it.
01:18:03Yes.
01:18:04I know that now.
01:18:09And I will miss you too.
01:18:13I will miss you too.
01:18:42do. I had my hair done. Uh-huh. A few other things. Uh-huh. I have a rough outline for
01:18:50you. Uh-huh. Stop saying that. You look great. Thank you. That's better. I think it will
01:19:00surprise you. It's already surprised me. The outline, Harry. Oh, right. I take it you're
01:19:12time at Madame Simon's was, um, pleasant. She's a wonderfully, wonderfully unique woman.
01:19:19I don't hear any sarcasm in your voice. That's because I'm sincere. Read the outline. I'll
01:19:26read it. Oh, I hear Glenda's having a big cocktail party to introduce her new book. Tomorrow night.
01:19:34The book's the usual, you know, coming-of-age thing, but the party should be good. Want me
01:19:38to pick you up? No. I'm fine to go alone. Since when? I'm fine, Harry. There's a good chance
01:19:46Dale might be there. He's a good friend of Glenda's, too. Don't forget. I haven't forgotten.
01:19:59Joanna. Hi. So, tell us about Madame Simone's Paris. Is it as decadent as it all sounds?
01:20:07Oh, I'll give you the one-liner. Life lessons on kissing, stripping, garter belts, love, and
01:20:18disappearing grooms. Really? And if you want to know more, you have to buy the magazine.
01:20:32I'm late. Oh, I'm late. I'm sorry. I'm late. You're always late, Shirley.
01:20:39Joanne. Joanne, you look wonderful. Thank you. Did you get a facelift when you were in Paris?
01:20:46No, but I had a good time. I'll have to get your itinerary. Come here.
01:20:52I have some fish.
01:20:58Oh, my God. And I thought you didn't like people to see her feet. I'm not looking at her feet.
01:21:04Shoot. Get away. These are so sexy. I can't believe you took these. Neither can I. And I can't
01:21:14believe they're better than mine. You were right. I did surprise myself. Hi, Joanne.
01:21:23Hi, Dale. I'll talk to you later.
01:21:32I didn't know you were back in town. I got back earlier in the week.
01:21:38How are you? I'm fine, actually.
01:21:43You look great. Thank you.
01:21:49I know I said that I would call. You said lots of things, Dale. I thought maybe we should
01:21:56talk, have lunch. Lunch would be good. Great. I'll call you. Yes. I think that this time
01:22:10you will.
01:22:20Promise me you'll be smart?
01:22:23I make no promises, except to have this story in on deadline.
01:22:28You promised me one of those photographs?
01:22:32Yeah.
01:22:44We're starting to think you weren't coming.
01:22:46Good.
01:22:53Did you order?
01:22:54No. I know how you hate that.
01:22:57Would you care to start with some wine?
01:22:59Yes. Thank you.
01:23:04Chateau Bonnet, 1989.
01:23:06Excellent choice.
01:23:11So how was your month, Dale?
01:23:14It was all right.
01:23:17I see your stocks didn't do so well.
01:23:19Tech is up. Industrial is down.
01:23:22You should have bought tech.
01:23:23Since when do you watch the market?
01:23:27Let's just say that my interests are expanding.
01:23:33Great.
01:23:38Great.
01:23:46Great.
01:24:05Um, it's fine.
01:24:07Very good, sir.
01:24:18What is going on?
01:24:22What do you mean?
01:24:23You seem so different.
01:24:28You seem the same.
01:24:32All right.
01:24:35Let's talk about something real.
01:24:38Okay.
01:24:39You start.
01:24:41Before you left...
01:24:43You left.
01:24:45Right.
01:24:47Before I left,
01:24:49you wanted to try counseling.
01:24:52Yes.
01:24:54I think maybe we should.
01:24:57Will your girlfriend be joining us?
01:25:00Touche.
01:25:01It was a serious question, Dale.
01:25:05I'm not seeing her right now.
01:25:07She works in your office.
01:25:10I'm not seeing her romantically.
01:25:16Well, that was short-lived.
01:25:19Hardly worth throwing away ten years.
01:25:23I agree.
01:25:29Look, Johanna.
01:25:32I did a lot of thinking.
01:25:34We do have ten years together.
01:25:37So, I'm willing to try and continue.
01:25:43Try and continue.
01:25:45Interesting choice of words.
01:25:50You don't need space anymore.
01:25:55What about sandwiches?
01:25:57Okay.
01:25:57I deserve that.
01:25:58Yes, you do.
01:26:02I miss you.
01:26:04Johanna.
01:26:05I missed you.
01:26:08It's that simple.
01:26:12I missed you.
01:26:15So, what do you say?
01:26:18Are you willing to try again?
01:26:26It's been three months,
01:26:27and the letters are still coming in.
01:26:30You hit a real nerve.
01:26:31How the heck you been?
01:26:33I'm great.
01:26:36Great.
01:26:40The divorce is final.
01:26:43Now, that's something I never thought I'd hear you say
01:26:46with a smile on your face.
01:26:48It's ironic, really.
01:26:51Dale finally said everything I'd ever wanted him to say.
01:26:56But somehow, after Paris,
01:26:58I just saw myself and my life
01:27:01from a completely different perspective.
01:27:03Didn't want to make the same mistakes.
01:27:05I sense something a little different.
01:27:08Hey,
01:27:10are you going to tell me
01:27:11what really happened in Paris?
01:27:13No.
01:27:14No?
