Kreola

It was really great.

- You're fantastic. - Thanks.

Here's my address.

So long.

Darling.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

I'll go according to plan.

Not bad.

You look great.

- Thanks. - Bye, Creanna.

Ciao. Try to have a nice trip.

I'll try. Good luck.

I need it.

Another conquest?

No.

I'm not sure. I know that look.

It really is beautiful.

Yeah, well, I think the atmosphere is weird here.

There's something in the air.

It's extremely erotic.

I feel strange all of a sudden.

Really?

I hope the hotel's near.

I'm almost there.

Ah, it's beautiful.

You're right.

You just cannot imagine what it was like to do it here, you know?

I guess he means he had a good time.

You got room in there for me?

You get some to get this off.

Go for it.

Hi.

Hey, Kreola.

Ah, Joe.

Hi. How's it going?

Any news?

No, nothing yet.

I can't find anyone who recognizes her name or her picture.

I'm sorry.

I know.

Good luck.

I thought you'd never get here.

You seem like an eternity.

I'm waiting for you.

I'm unable to hold you.

Trying to remember your body.

The softness of your...

warmth.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

What is it?

Hey.

I don't know what it is.

Maybe it's been too long.

Maybe I'm out of practice.

Maybe I don't match up to your imagination.

Oh.

Much better than I could ever imagine.

So what's all the fuss?

Now that's more like it.

Where are you taking me tonight?

Will you place the same number of them down?

Sure.

Bless your debts, ladies and gentlemen.

Debts, please, ladies and gentlemen.

Hey. Excuse me.

Have you ever seen this girl?

No, I'm sorry.

Never seen her before in my life.

You got an offer to make for the children of the sun?

Okay. Here, will that do?

Sure.

Keep the literature.

That might help you spiritually.

Are you trying to get me drunk?

Well, it's not a bad idea.

Twist my arm.

Let's see.

I'm not mistaken.

That man sitting over there is the one you spoke to at the airport.

Could we understand the thing?

So it is.

Can he make love to you?

No, he's got other things to worry about.

He's looking for his fiancé.

That's why he's here.

And how do you lose him?

It's an interesting story.

I adore interesting stories.

Mm.

Just think.

They were going to get married.

And not long before the wedding,

she went on holiday with some friends from work.

And they came here to Santa Domingo as part of the package deal.

And when it was time to leave, she disappeared.

Come on. Really?

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Just up and deserted the others?

Apparently.

She never contacted anyone.

But he's convinced she's still here somewhere.

It's quite possible.

The tropics can do funny things,

especially to anyone who's been under some kind of stress,

the misery and anguish of living in what we laughingly call civilization.

Taxes, overworked crime, pollution, traffic.

This music can make you think again.

And besides, who knows?

She might have met a guy she liked more.

You know, simple islander.

Oh, come on.

That's only in fiction.

Love is everywhere.

If it's there, it's there.

If it's not, it's not.

Mm-hmm. Be nice to the guy.

Wouldn't hurt if you asked him to join us.

Don't you think he'd be very lonely?

A way to talk to him?

Okay.

Marco?

How are you?

This is my husband, I think.

I know.

Very kind of you.

Would you like something for me?

Would you like something to drink?

Yeah, I'll have what you're having.

Whatever it is.

How's the search going?

Did I find anything yet?

No, I'm afraid nothing much yet.

But they remember seeing her around.

I'm sure that sooner or later I'll find her.

Well, I sure hope you do.

You two carry on. Excuse me.

I'll be right back.

Where are you going?

I have to make a telephone call to New York.

My magazine editor wants that weekly report.

Well, that was rather sudden, wasn't it?

Let's dance.

I'm not too good at dancing.

Just let the music do the work.

I'm not going to dance.

I'm going to dance. You know, I haven't danced in years.

Well, we're going to have to make up for a lot of time then.

Yeah.

Listen, Kreola, maybe we should go back to the table, huh?

Why? Your dancing is...

Great.

Come on, listen up.

I feel uncomfortable.

Well, no need.

What is it?

I don't know. It's just that Durandie could be watching us.

Well, the truth is that I'm doing it so that he can watch us.

Let's keep dancing like this. Like lovers, okay?

- You mean that he... - Yes.

It's his way of loving me.

He likes to watch and thinks I don't know.

- That's ridiculous. - Yeah, I know.

But you see, I love him and I'll do anything.

He likes to think I'm quite faithful.

Please help me.

I understand, Kreola.

You know, love can be a strange thing.

The light is not the best, but...

We shall do what we can.

It's a beautiful island, an absolutely amazing place.

Full of surprises.

But you told me you'd never been here.

Well, Brian told me such a lot about it.

I feel like I know it by heart.

It's in the form of a turtle,

a turtle sleeping on the surface of the ocean.

Is it true that turtles only make love once a year?

Yeah.

And you better start praying that...

you don't end up reincarnated as a turtle.

Huh? Huh?

Sometimes you're a real asshole.

Oh, for God's sake.

I was joking.

Kill me. What a work.
