Betty

Is it true you're a real doctor?

Definitely.

Here's the car.

Where are we going?

Don't you trust me?

No.

I don't trust anybody.

You still haven't said where?

So, what's your name, then?

Betty.

Short for Elizabeth?

Betty.

Where are we going?

To eat. Aren't you hungry?

I'm thirsty.

You can drink too.

You're all gray!

Gray?

Oh, yes, yes. I love gray.

We're going to a place you don't know. It's very special.

It's near Versailles.

You smoke non-stop.

Non-stop.

2, 3 packs a day?

What do you care?

It's all the same to me.

But I'm a doctor. Didn't I tell you?

Yeah.

Twice already.

Do you like hare?

That's all they serve tonight.

It's cassoulet on Wednesdays.

Is it cassoulet?

Cassoulet... Yes, that's right.

It's cassoulet night.

Takes getting used to.

You either like it or you don't.

Here we are.

Come on.

It doesn't look so hot.

It has it's charm. You'll see.

It's weird...

"The Hole".

Yes, "The Hole".

The Hole.

The Hole.

Funny how they all ingest animals and never wonder...

How are you, Doc?

You're not listening.

Yes, I am.

What did I say?

That by eating animals people...

EXCUSE me one moment.

The same?

Your first time in The Hole?

Yeah.

Known Doc long?

No.

Want something to eat?

I'm not hungry, thanks.

Make yourself at home. Everybody here does.

Sorry to leave you alone.

They served refills.

Well done.

I'm still thirsty.

Joseph! A drink for the lady.

You have an itch?

What?

Here... Right here?

- Yes... I guess. - Under the skin?

Crawling?

Is What crawling?

Near the surface or deep down?

How does it feel?

They all have

different natures.

What are you talking about?

Worms, my dear child.

What worms?

Don't you know, then?

You have worms under your skin.

All kinds of worms, dear Betty.

Tiny ones, big fat ones, busy ones, and lazy ones.

And surely many other more insidious little beasts.

I'll reveal all the facets of their many natures for you.

No, don't move.

Watch how I track them down.

Filthy little things.

Sadistic little devils.

Don't be afraid.

Leave her alone, Doc.

I'm just removing a little worm.

Just leave her alone.

Come with me. I have to tell you something.

Just a second, she wants me...

This is urgent. Come with me.

Afraid I might hurt her?

You know I...

- Waiter. - Yes, ma'am.

Give me a drink.

What do they all have against me?

Waiter.

Yes, ma'am. The same?

No. Have any cigarettes?

I'll see.

Mario will drive him home.

May I?

Did he scare you?

It's nothing. He's a charming fellow.

Cheers!

Here's to you.

You realize he's a junkie. He left you to have a shot.

Known him long?

No.

His name's Bernard. He was a doctor in Versailles.

I'm thirsty.

You're a real hit with Alan.

He keeps ogling you. He's on his 8th scotch.

If it makes him happy.

Mario's back.

It's pouring out.

Put him to bed?

With his wife's help.

Was he ranting?

He was counting rabbits on the ceiling.

When he's like that he sees animals everywhere.

Not to mention

the worms he keeps stabbing at with that gold toothpick.

He tried it on you?

You write:

I, the undersigned, Elizabeth Etamble...

She wrote Betty.

Ah, no. Not Betty!

Elizabeth!

I, the undersigned, Elizabeth Etamble...

nee Fayet,

28 years old, no profession,

residing at 6 Ave Ruysdaël, Paris,

do hereby state

that I accept without reservation

the following conditions...

I sold them.

Sold what, my dear?

I gotta get drunk. Excuse me.

Of course.

Do you live around here?

Paris?

I don't live anywhere!

Would you like a small one?

Your yank admirer came over with NATO

when he was about 20.

Now that he's retired, he's settled here.

He comes in nearly every night in his old uniform.

I wrote just as they wanted, I wrote Elizabeth, not Betty.

And I took the check.

And I walked out.

You don't give a shit! You don't give a shit!

Mario.

- Do you have any gauze? - I think so.

In the drawer.

I'll take her home.

You?

- Sure, why not? - To the Trianon?

Couldn't she use a doctor?

What for?

Put her in my car.

Be careful.

Joseph! My friend's ill. Is the room next to mine free?

Of course, Madame.

Did I wake you?

I don't know.

I wondered if you needed anything.

How do you feel?

Fine, fine.

Even my headache's gone.

I think I'm hungry.

What would you like?

Ham and eggs.

Have you eaten?

Yes, ages ago.

Is it late?

It's 4 o'clock.

Do you like your eggs well done?

Tea or coffee?

Black coffee.

Henry! I'd like some ham and eggs, well done, and black coffee.

Good coffee, not this morning's dishwater.

Thank you.

Shall I open the curtains?

Did you give me a shot? I feel...

Yes, but don't worry.

I was a nurse for 25 years.

My husband was a doctor.

And I washed you,

because you threw up.

How about a nice hot bath before breakfast?

Don't get up. I'll draw your bath.

It's not too hot?

It's just right.

Do you feel dizzy?
