Games of Desire (Impudicizia)

Hello

Jack, it's you!

You're not coming home again tonight?

But it's been days since I've seen you

Yes, Jack, I understand but... I hope you haven't forgotten you have a wife

When am I going to see you?

Fine, then, do as you please, goodbye!

- Ah, good evening, ma'am - Good evening

Jack?

Are you here?

Jack?

Where are you, Jack?

Florence!

I phoned you on purpose to tell you that we wouldn't be seeing each other tonight

What are you doing here?

I wanted to see you

How in hell did you ever get it into your head to come here at this hour of the night?

You're never home any more

This is why I thought to...

What's wrong, Jack?

If I don't work like hell I'll never catch him

I can't sit around every evening waiting for you to come home

It gets lonely

You know I'm behind in my work

Yes

I've told you several times

Of course I know that

How could I help know it

You know it but you do nothing about it

You never stop reminding me of that fact

But I want to remind you, how much I love you, how much I want you, and need you!

Florence!

Florence!... No!... No!...

Stop that!

Why not?

Does it excite you?

This is hardly the place!

You don't want me?

How can you push me away?

If there's another woman, have the courage to tell me

You're imagining things

Imagining things?

Do I just imagine, that you always sleep alone? That you're never in my bed?

That... we don't make love anymore?

Don't say that, bitch!

But you're not sleeping with me, you must be sleeping with someone else

You must be!

What are you talking about?

Tell me, Jack.... Please.

You don't expect me to believe that you're not well

No... No...

Then you must be impotent!

Was he mean to you? I waited up

Well you shouldn't have!

Beckham, that was foolish. Why aren't you in bed? Good children with any sense are asleep.

I wanted to kiss you goodnight

- Goodnight - Goodnight

What's the matter? What's wrong?

Everything... He slapped me! My husband is a beast!

I'm so sorry.

Do you hear? A beast to hit me like that

What on earth could have gotten into him?

I don't understand how anyone can treat you that way... You're so... beautiful.

Yves doesn't love me any more

Oh, that's not possible. Something else must be wrong

If only you know what I'm going through

I don't know what to do

I'm sure it's not as bad as you think

Make him jealous

It always works

Let me help you

I don't know. Do you think so?

I couldn't be a beast to him

But, who with?

Oh, no one really. Just pretend, so he thinks you are.

I don't know what's the matter with me

I think I'm going crazy. It's such a state... It's horrible.

You're not going crazy. It's just all women need loving

Isn't that the truth?

He's away from the house for days on end. He must have a lover. I'm sure of it!

Now listen. You have to fight fire with fire. I know a way to help you when you feel you're ready.

I know I sound foolish. I wonder what would happen if he got really jealous.

He might beat me to a pulp, or...

Oh, he wouldn't do that. He's too civilised, surely.

And besides, you're not really going to be doing anything.

Unless you decide... So now why don't you just stop your worrying?

- Yes, I... - Let me comb your hair.

Start relaxing

That's it

Who is it?

Who's there?

Oh, it's you!

It really frightened me. I wondered who it could be

Sorry, I... I didn't mean to intrude Forgive me

Is there something wrong? Is there anything I can do for you?

Dorothy, you remember you told me that if I came to your room you might be able to help me

That's what you said, wasn't it?

I really hate to see you suffer this way. It's rotten for you, when there's no need.

You could be leading a rich and full sex life.

Do you think so?

I certainly do, and I mean it!

Oh, Dorothy...

You must trust me, that's all. I think I... ah, yes, I know a place

I don't want to do anything I'll clearly regret

I have no fear of that

Sex is such a delicate thing

I won't let you get hurt. Leave it to me.

I feel so ashamed. Just talking to you about this.

There's no need. We all go through these crises. It's only natural.

Go get some rest now, and dream sweet dreams

Thanks

Goodnight

What's wrong with her?

Nothing a bit of this won't cure. I'll take her to the villa, tomorrow.

Malcolm didn't explain much, what am I supposed to do?

You'll like her Tony, she's very beautiful

Just make love to her. That shouldn't be too hard for you!

Now remember, don't ask any questions. Don't say anything, got it?

OK, you bet

No, do it right away

I'll be needing the car again. Don't put it in the garage.

Uh, right, sir.

- Everything ok, Dorothy? - Everything's just fine.

Are you upset about something, Jack?

You're not very talkative today

That'll do, thank you

Has there been a change in your plans?

No, I just came home to get a change of clothes. I have to get back to the museum right after lunch.

What you find so urgent in that nasty place I can't imagine

We still have quite a bit of work to be done on the inventory. It's going to take several more weeks.

Beckham, stop slurping! Didn't anybody ever teach you any manners?

I don't know why you insisted on adopting this disgusting brat! It has the manners of a pig!

As you know, it's a very old custom in my family for the eldest son to adopt an orphan boy

and raise him as his own, giving him a good education

The wilder, the brat, as you call him, is,

the worse and more unruly he is, the more deserving and in need of kindness and attention he is

Well, I think that's ridiculous

Your family must all have been the most incredible bunch of crackpots

to think up such an idiotic bit of nonsense to turn into a tradition

I never heard anything like it in my entire life

I know you have little innate respect for such things, Florence,

but do try to be a bit more tolerant of other people's beliefs and ideas

After all, this world is made up of all sorts of people

How silly's that, who plead it's their right to take their lives into other's

No, no, it's unfair and narrow-minded. Let's stop this discussion right now.

Are you planning to spend the entire day under there?

Dorothy!

Yes?

Will you see that this child finishes it's lunch? I've lost my appetite.

Yes, of course

Since Jack's not around you could spend some time with me and maybe keep me company for a while

I don't think so. I just came in to say goodnight

Would you kiss me goodnight? On the lips?

On the lips? Alright!

How did you learn to kiss like that?

Easy. It's coz I've seen them do it in the movies and on tv

Ah well, now you must try to go to sleep

I'm glad you're not my real mum

Why not?

Coz if you were my real mum I'd have to act like a son. This way I can think of you as a girlfriend.

Goodnight. Sweet dreams.

Aren't you ready yet? It's time to go.

Wait a minute, Dorothy, we have to talk.

Listen. I don't want to go back to that place. It was a mistake.

And I only did it because I was mad at Jack.

I was jealous, that's all.

I thought he had a mistress, but he really does spend all his time at that stupid museum

I was all wrong

Were you?

Yes! I was a victim of my own silly imagination.

Don't be so sure

What do you mean?

I didn't have the courage to tell you openly inside out, I better just say it

Don't tell me there is a woman?

Uh-huh

I don't believe it. You're lying!

I can prove it
