Kiss of the Damned (2012) - full transcript

I could fall asleep...

with the warmth of you near me.

The sound
of your heart saying...

Saying what?

Together...

together.

Tomassini residence.

Yes. She's not available
at this moment.

Can I take a message?

Thank you.

Hello.



It's really coming down.

I'm Paolo.

Djuna.

So do you live here?

No.

My friend is doing a play in the city,
so I'm staying at her house.

Here you go.

What about you?

I'm here writing a script.

They got me
a house to write.

You know, no distractions.

You're a- what, artist?

No.

I translate poetry
and literature



into different languages.

That sounds like
a pretty serious job.

It's practical.

I have a...

skin condition...

where I can't be exposed
to sunlight.

I'm sorry.

Oh, wow.

This place is huge.

No, go.
This was a mistake.

- I'm sorry.
- It's not a mistake.

It's not a mistake.

I want you to leave.

I'm gonna leave, but I'm
gonna call you tomorrow.

No, don't call.

Go.

Please go.

Hey, Paolo, it's Donna.

I've been thinking a lot
and I don't know why I said

I needed
so much from you.

I was really happy
with the way things were.

It was stupid.

I know you're working,
I know that you're focused,

and I think that's great,
I really do.

Tomassini residence.

Madame is indisposed
until this evening.

May I take a message?

Paolo.

Very well,
I'll let her know.

You should try
some of our other scotches.

We've got some great scotch.

You interested?

Yeah, sure.

- Here you go.
- Thanks.

What are you doing here?

- Will you let me in?
- I can't.

Is this about your illness?

Yes.

Look, whatever it is you have,
I will deal with it.

Just let me in.

No.

Let me in.

No.

Argh!

- Djuna?
- Get out!

- Hey, Ben.
Hey, how's it comin'?

- You love your house?
- Yeah, it's great.

All right, don't say
I don't take care of you.

- I don't.
- How's it coming, P?

I just started.
It's gonna be great.

Of course it's gonna be great,
you're gonna knock this out of the park.

Just don't shrink
from the violence, all right?

I know you're not into violence,
but don't be afraid of it here.

- It's the right thing.
- I won't, I won't.

Feelin' good?
- Yeah.

Paolo? Hello?

Paolo, where are you?

Paolo?

Paolo...?

Hey, Paolo!

Hey.

Sorry.

Argh!

Paolo.
- I'm comin' over.

Answer the door.

Come over here.

Feel my heart.

Find my heartbeat.

It's not there, Paolo.

I can't go in sunlight.

I drink the blood
of animals to live.

Do you understand
what I'm telling you?

You're telling me
you're a vampire?

Are you kidding me?

What do you think
happened last night?

There's no such thing
as vampires, Djuna.

No?

All right.

I'll show you.

I'm not feeling good
about doing this.

There's nothing to worry about.
You're safe.

I can't hurt you this way.

Paolo!

It's happening!

Come here!

Come here...!

Holy shit!

- Holy shit!
- Don't do that!

Keep your hands
away from my mouth.

- Djuna?
- Oh, God.

Do you believe me now?
Look at me.

No!

No.

No.

Let's make love.

Are you scared?

No.

This is what had to happen.

I would have done anything
to be with you...

however insane.

I know.
It's all insane.

And I know in my heart,

it would have been wrong
to let you go.

For both of us.

My world
belongs to you now.

I will teach you
everything I know.

It's a small community.
Very closely knit.

Xenia, the actress who owns
this house, for example...

she designed it
for needs like ours.

Little things,
but very important.

And Irene,
the housekeeper...

she's got a rare blood disorder,
so she's not a temptation for us.

Her mother had it, too,
so she's very highly valued.

Extremely loyal.

She looks after the house.

Keeps watch during the day.

You'll start to feel pressure
in your lower back...

and that will turn
into a hunger...

and that hunger will grow
until you feed.

And if you don't feed,
that hunger will turn into pain.

You can't let it get to that
or you'll be out of control.

Will we live forever?

Chances are, we will.

But there are ways to die.

Sunlight,
decapitation, fire.

But we won't get older,
and we won't get sick.

And if we get hurt,
we heal almost right away.

It's a different reality.

But I know
we can have a normal life.

You and me.

Forever.

Not here. Not yet.

Come.
Let's go home.

This is your office,

so you can write those screenplays
you're so crazy about.

Are you trying
to tell me something?

You trying to tell me that
it's time to get back to work?

No, I'm trying to tell you
that maybe it's time

to get your things
and move in.

You got it all?

Yeah.

What...?

I'm happy.

I'm really happy, Paolo.

I made you coq au vin.

It smells incredible.

It turned out perfectly.

Can I say something?

Of course.

I just want to get it over with.

Okay.

It feels weird
that it was so natural,

that it didn't
bother me more.

I was surprised
that I knew what to do.

I can feel
how I've changed.

Even my vision,
what I see.

I can't believe how much
I was missing before.

Everything just feels so...

heightened.

- What are you doing here?
- Nice to see you, too, Djuna.

Xenia didn't tell you?

I'm staying here for a week
while my new place gets set up.

- No, she didn't.
- Well, call her if you want.

Hi, I'm Mimi,
Djuna's sister.

Paolo.

It's really not a good idea
for you to stay here.

Where am I supposed
to go, Djuna?

To a hotel?

I'm only gonna be here
a week.

It's not like I'm gonna
hang around you anyway.

Don't worry.

You look great.
What's your secret?

Dog blood?

I take it the two of you
don't get along.

No, she's...

What?

She's a disturbed creature.

Where are you coming from?
Amsterdam.

- Amsterdam?
- It was horrible.

The group I was
living with was crazy.

I couldn't take it anymore.

You couldn't take it,
or they couldn't take it?

How long were you there?

Five years.
It was fun at first.

- It's a great city.
Mm-hmm.

But my roommates
ruined it for me.

People were catching onto us.

I started to be afraid
to go to bed.

I thought I was gonna be torched
by a church group or something.

So?

What's in Phoenix?
Where will you live there?

On the ranch.
It's like a commune.

You make night-blooming
gardens, pottery.

You study Latin literature.

Basically, it's rehab.

Xenia thinks
that's what I need to do,

so I'm gonna try it.

I guess I don't really
have a choice, do I?

Cheers.

That wasn't so bad.

She's a crazy freak,
you'll see.

She didn't sound crazy.
She seemed pretty cohesive.

You're right.
Crazy's not the word.

She's not out of touch
with reality...

she's sick.

It's only a week.
The clock is already ticking.

She'll be gone soon.

I had a nightmare.

We were at the ballet school.

We were hiding in the closet
and she was trying to find us.

I wonder if she's
still teaching.

She was very reckless.

Maybe someone got her.

I doubt it.

Damn vampire solidarity.

I'm sure they moved her...
somewhere.

I had a dream, too,
about Mom.

I can't remember
her face anymore.

Can you?

Not really.

It's gone.

Nothing's left.

Oh, wow.
Look at them.

That looks so fun,
doesn't it?

It's interesting
to see you with a man.

It's been a long time since...

what was his name?

Henry?

What was that?

60, 70 years ago?

A long time ago.

I forget.

Did you turn him or not?

You know I didn't.

Yeah, that's right.

You wouldn't do that
to someone.

Well, what made you
turn this one?

The loneliness
got to you?

I've been alone a long time.

It wasn't that.
It happened.

It was just gonna
happen with him.

What does that mean?

It means I love him.

Love him?

I just want to say,
for the last century,

you've judged me
so harshly.

And it's just strange
that now you turn someone

you claim to love.

At least I've never done that.

I've never bit
someone I love, Djuna!

I wouldn't do that.

You're not capable of loving.
You wouldn't know.

Capable?

I just know
it's not an option.

I'm not the sick one.

I don't romanticize
stupid humans

and watch them through goggles
like a freak.

No, you just leave
a trail of shit wherever you go

and get off on it!

Speaking of getting off...

maybe you finally have,

because suddenly,
you don't mind sentencing

your little boyfriend
to the shit we have to deal with.

You know
what you did was wrong.

Admit it!

Don't fucking
judge me anymore!

Hi, Xenia, it's Djuna.

Hello, darling.
How is everything at the house?

It's good.
Well, it's not good.

It's about Mimi.
You know she's here?

Yes, she needed
a place to stay.

She had some trouble.

I've arranged a safe house
for her in Phoenix,

but it won't be ready
for a week.

Well, I'm worried.

She's not stable,
you know she's not.

She's completely
out of control.

Darling, she wants
to change her life,

and I can't turn my back on that.

You should.
She's a monster.

You're sisters.

Of course you get
on each other's nerves.

And the fact
that she's crowding in

on this love affair
you're having...

I was gonna
tell you about him.

Paolo.
- Darling, I trust yourjudgment...

but if you can just bear
with Mimi for a week.

Of course.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

So, I want
to tell you something.

I have some money,
and...

I'd like to get us a house.

I was thinking maybe we'd
go somewhere out of the country.

Someplace new
where we could start again.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Just give me a minute.

I'll take care of everything.

I've never lived
with anyone before.

Good.

* I think I'm afraid *

* I feel so exposed *

* I can hear myself... *

Hey! Hey, wait.

I was gonna offer
to buy you a drink.

Thirsty?

Come here.

Sure you don't want
to come back inside?

I'd rather be here.

Okay, well, just...

let me know if you change
your mind about that drink.

Come here and kiss me.

Adam!

Yo!

Come on.

...taking forever, you know?

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Fuck!
Ah-! Oh, God.

You know you don't
have to do that, don't you?

Djuna is completely
neurotic.

The possum was dead.
It wasn't coming back.

Everyone knows that
about animals.

She's scared. This makes her
feel better. It's fine by me.

So, tell me, Paolo.

There are really guys
like you out there...

who want to have the life
sucked out of them?

Go fuck yourself.

Do you think those guys
have problems?

Maybe aren't
mentally healthy?

I would say, wouldn't you?

Why the fuck are you
so interested?

I don't know.

Maybe I'd like a guy
like that for me.

Good-looking,
angry, destructive.

Oh, yeah.

But you're not destructive.

This is all about love.

Tough guy, huh?

- Hello?
Djuna?

- Hi, Xenia.
- Darling, I'm having a party.

- Come over.
- Tonight?

- Yes, can you make it?
- Sure!

Beautiful. Ciao.

It's going to be fun.

Everyone there will be like us.

It'll be good for you to meet them.
It's important.

Djuna! Paolo.

It is so nice to meet you.

Djuna's told me
wonderful things about you.

I've heard so many wonderful
things about you as well.

You have a beautiful apartment
and a beautiful home, of course.

Thank you for
letting me stay there.

It is my absolute
pleasure, Paolo.

I've looked you up.

I've seen some of your films.

- You're very good.
- Oh, no.

No, you are.
You're a very talented writer.

One day you have to
write a part for me.

Anytime.
It would be my honor.

Lydia, Omar, come meet
my very dear friends.

Djuna...

- Hello.
- Hello.

- ... and Paolo.
- Hi, nice to meet you.

Hello.

Lydia and Omar
came from Rome for my opening.

You should see their place.

They may have the most
exquisite taste I've ever seen.

We were just talking about
going to Rome.

Maybe even moving there.

Oh, you should.
It's one of the best cities for us.

Large community.

Perfect for lovers.

Are you new?

- Is it that obvious?
No, not at all.

It's beautiful.
Both of you are beautiful.

Cheer up, mate.

The first 100 years
are insufferable,

but they do get easier.

The previews start Saturday...

night, of course.

- Obviously, I don't do matinees.
- And why should you?

- Good to meet you.
- Nice to meet you as well.

So, they tell me
that you're new.

Yes, yes. I'm sure there's
still quite a bit to learn.

Ah, there is- there is indeed.

But don't worry.
You're in excellent hands.

Djuna's a treasure.

So you're staying up
at Xenia's place in Connecticut?

- We are.
- I love that place.

A little amuse-bouche,
everyone?

Ah.

Oh, don't worry,
it's not human.

What is it?

I don't know, but whatever
it is, it's kosher.

Xenia doesn't mess around.

Whatever this is, it is the beluga
of politically correct plasma.

- Mm.
- Bottoms up!

Yeah.

He's extraordinary.

He would make a great actor
because he's so full of pain.

- Pain?
- Not the bad kind.

No, not pain.

Let's say "awareness. "

Soul.

He's extraordinary.

My darling!

So happy to see you.

What will you have to drink?

Cheers.

I have a few cases of
this synthetic blood for each of you.

Try not to go
through it too quickly.

I don't know how long
this army connection will last.

Or how long we'll have access.

The FDA hasn't approved it.

Well, even if the FDA
approves...

it's not that we'll be able
to get it any more consistently.

It's true.
It's not like we can exactly lobby

for why prescriptions for us

would be a very good idea
for the mainstream.

Of course not.
We don't exist.

And if they knew we did,
I highly, highly doubt...

that they'd deal with it
by selling us synthetic blood.

And it makes me so mad,
the way we're forced to live.

I mean, this isn't their world,
it's our world!

They're just passing through.

It's not our world.

We may never die, but collectively,
they never die either.

Well, we're the ones
forced to hide.

We are the monsters.

I can't hear that.

I can't abide any more
of this self-loathing.

We know what the situation is.
We discuss it all the time.

We're at the beginning of creating
a civilization for ourselves.

Just like they did
when they realized that...

killing and raping on a regular basis
was not a fulfilling way to live.

I don't want to hear
the term "monsters. "

We're all monsters,
potentially and potentially not.

Yes, but one
has to ask oneself...

does the existence
of Dr. Jekyll

make Mr. Hyde
any less of a monster?

Hmm.

I think
that the point we all have

come to realize, Hans...

is that what civilization is
is a set of moral laws.

And if those laws
are broken,

there will be punishment.

I mean, humans
still break them...

but for the most part...

these laws
have forced them

to value humanity...

to develop sensitivity...

which is just as real in them
as their baser impulses.

I mean, those laws...

have freed them to experience
their little lives...

the way we haven't
been able to.

I don't like them.
I don't trust them.

I don't find them touching,
the way you seem to.

I don't find you touching.

They are the best audiences,
I can tell you that.

Vampires are notorious
for "golf applause. "

Xenia, Jesus.

The ultimate barometer
for a superior race,

according to Xenia-

how adoring
is the audience?

Yes.
- Um, where did Mimi go?

* Oh, no, you don't *

* Ever wanna get someplace
where you cannot believe *

* High up on the sun *

* The howlin' ones *

* High up on the sun,
flower, flower train *

* That won't bring you home *

* Oh, no, you don't *

* Ever wanna get someplace
where you cannot believe... *

Ugh.

She's home.

What the fuck is she doing?

What is she listening to?

I kinda like it.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry to interrupt.

- You must leave!
- Who are you?

Who the hell
do you think you are?

Who is she?
- I'm Mimi's sister.

You should know that Mimi
has a serious medical condition

and should not be engaging
in any irresponsible encounters.

I do not have
a medical condition.

She most certainly does.

Please wait outside.

I'll call you a taxi
and give you money to get home.

- Please go!
Oh, my God!

It's all right.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

What did we almost
get ourselves into?

Do you think
we're gonna be okay?

- Yeah, we're okay.
- Okay.

- I want to get out of here, okay?
- Okay.

What's going on?

Your girlfriend thinks
she's the lady of the house.

She thinks she can just come in here
and kick my guests out.

She thinks
she can have friends here...

but I can't.

"Friends"? Really?

It's not going to go
anywhere like this.

Did it turn you on?

What?

"What"?

How long has it been?

I don't know.
Not that long.

He'll be here any minute.

This is such
a fucking nightmare.

I can't wait to be back
in our apartment.

We're not kids anymore,
this was so stupid of us.

The only thing that we did
that was stupid

was get in someone's car and drive
an hour and a half outside the city.

Other than that,
we didn't do anything wrong.

I don't know.

I don't know,
I can't help but think

we brought this on ourselves,
you know?

Please.
Who are you right now?

I love you, Jack.

I never said
that you didn't.

I love you, too,
now just stop acting like a child.

What's that?
Did you hear that noise?

Just an animal or something.
Just stay there.

No, Jack, don't go over there.
Jack, don't.

- Shh.
- Don't go over there.

Please...!

Jack, don't!

Shit!

Jack!

Hey, you call for a cab?

Um...

- Where are they?
- My guests?

Probably at the clinic,
getting tests.

I told you, you don't listen!

You keep coming back into my life,
over and over again,

destroying everything!

Why can't I be free of you?
Why?

Xenia would excommunicate you
if she knew.

Stay away from me!

Don't interfere with my life!

You'll be out of here soon enough!

Let me over, prick!

Hey, Paolo, what's going on?

Listen, it's Ben.

What are you doing, man?
You haven't called me back.

You haven't returned
any of my texts or anything.

I'm on my way
up to the house, all right?

'Cause I'm a little concerned, man.
It's not like you.

It's like you dropped
off the planet.

Anyway, I'll be there
in, like, 20 minutes.

Uh... that's it.

I'll see you soon,
all right, buddy?

All right,
I'll talk to you later.

Well, then don't fucking
put your fucking blinker on!

Jesus.

- How's it going?
- Good, what can I get for you?

Um, let me get a...

vodka soda, please.

Yeah, hey...

have you seen a new guy
hanging around here?

Dark-haired,
good-looking guy?

- Drinks scotch?
- Exactly.

Yeah, I've seen him
in here, why?

- Well, I'm his agent. I'm Ben Rider.
- Rebecca.

I've been trying
to get a hold of him...

and I can't find him.

I went by the house
that we put him up in,

and nothing-
looks like no one's living there.

Yeah, well, I heard
he's been staying out

with the girl
on Hansen Road.

Freaky chick.

I wouldn't be too
worried about him, though.

He's having quite the affair.

Is that right?
- Yeah.

So what's your deal?
You an actress?

You like the way it feels
to hunt, huh?

I like a lot of things.
I don't need that.

Me either.

Son of a bitch.

Paolo!

- Paolo?
- Oh, it's my fucking agent.

- Ben.
- Hey.

Hey, come on in.

Jesus, it's hard
to find you up here.

- Man, how are you?
- I'm good, I'm good.

- It's...
- Good to see you.

It's good to see you too.

Djuna, this is my agent,
Ben Rider.

- Hi.
- Hi.

So you're the one who stole
my client away from me?

Look at you, you're gorgeous.
Are you an actress?

No.

- Well, you should be.
- Come on in.

Oh, my goodness.
This is fucking crazy!

You haven't been
writing shit, have you?

- I have.
- Oh, you're full of shit.

No, I have.

Look, I just printed out some stuff.
I'll show you.

Dude, I'm telling you,
if you could parlay

what you're doing here out there,
you're going to be huge.

Here.
Read it.

Read it and then
we'll have dinner.

This is all new stuff?

Djuna, this is incredible.
I mean, this is really good.

I took a chance on
coming out here

and I got the royal treatment.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

And this house
is ridiculous.

I mean, this is
crazy time up here.

Hey, also, you gotta remember
to send me that information

- on your friend's play.
- Yeah, sure.

I wanna see that, so you
gotta e-mail me the information.

I know it's not Broadway,
but I really want to check it out.

I will.

I'm really happy to be here.

Hey, pal, I gotta tell you,

I can't stop thinking
about those pages I read.

They're great, man.
Do you feel good about that?

Yeah.
- Do you?

Yeah.

Oh, come on, man,
the action sequences are unbelievable.

It's the best stuff
you've ever written.

The studio's gonna go crazy.
You know that, right?

- I'm glad you're so enthusiastic.
- Yeah, I'm enthusiastic!

Do you know this guy
used to be impossible to deal with?

He would write
all this artsy-fartsy crap

that I couldn't get
any investors for.

A real snob. He used to think he was
better than everyone else.

I didn't think I was better
than everyone else.

I just didn't understand why people
didn't expect more out of life.

Yeah, well, we thought
the same about you.

You know, he used to drive
this artsy car that didn't even drive.

It wasn't arty,
it was a Peugeot.

Fucking Peugeot!
A Peugeot!

He used to think
he was Jean-Luc Truffaut,

with this silly hat, smoking cigarettes,
and dirty fingernails.

Look, P...

hey, you've joined the human race,
and we're glad to have you.

It's a good thing.

You look good.

It's nice to meet you.
Look at you, you're smiling.

I didn't realize
you had teeth before.

Hey...

to embracing life...

- Cheers.
- and all its flaws.

And all its warts,
all right?

I'm gonna go
use the bathroom.

Whoa!

Are you all right?

Yeah, I had
a drinks meeting before I...

You want some coffee?
- Mm-mm.

Excuse me.

Do you think I could
just crash here tonight...

instead of driving back
into the city?

'Cause I- I don't want
to get another DUl.

- I don't feel good.
We...

we work all night, Ben,
and we sleep pretty late.

No, I'll be up early
in the morning.

I have a breakfast meeting.
I just...

No, of course.
Of course, you can stay.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah, that's fine.

You're right.
You shouldn't drive like this.

Whew.

Sometimes you get speedy,
you know?

Paolo?

No!

Get the fuck away from me!

- Xenia, do you have a minute?
Yes, darling.

What's the matter?

I have to tell you,
bad things are happening.

It's about Mimi.
She's completely out of control.

- She's endangering all of us.
What has she done?

She's been out every night
hunting humans,

- leaving them to resurrect.
- How do you know this?

- I just know.
- You just know?

She swears to me
she's not, Djuna.

Unless you have proof,
I have no reason not to believe her.

Now, Xenia,
she's bringing it into the house.

The other night
she brought a couple over here.

- If I hadn't come...
- What was happening?

The three of them
were in a sexual situation.

- They were starting...
- Djuna, don't be so puritanical.

When I first gave up
my old life,

no one believed I was clean.

Whatever I did was proof
to others I was still sick.

I know it's hard
to have faith in her...

but I know where
she's coming from.

I've been there.

No, Xenia...

Darling, my play
is opening tomorrow night.

Please, put your
differences aside.

In a few days,
she'll be gone.

Djuna.

So, what?
What do you think?

I loved it tonight.

It was beyond words.

I mean, neither of us
can hardly speak.

You were magnificent.

Your performance- Djuna is right-
it was beyond words.

Give me more.
I must have words.

I mean, many words,
after you digest the play, please.

Ms. Tomassini, Professor Ching
would like a word with you.

You're coming to dinner, right?

- Yeah, of course.
- Please do.

I love you.

Hi.

- Hey.
- Hello.

- How are you?
- Hello.

I need to get some air.

No one can do what she does.

I don't care if they live
to be a thousand.

- Sorry to make you leave.
Don't worry.

Check out this loon.
My God.

It doesn't matter.
Get your pen ready.

Xenia! Xenia!

Xenia! Xenia!

Folks, I told you 20 times,
no autographs.

I need everyone
off to the side.

Xenia!

You're a fan
of Ms. Tomassini?

What?

Xenia, I love you!

You should
meet her sometime.

I'm sure she'd like to meet a fan
as devoted as you seem to be.

- Meet her?
- Mm-hmm.

Give me your number.

Mimi! Andiamo,
for Christ sakes!

How old are you?

Seventeen.

Hmm.
Lovely age.

What are you doing?

She's not leaving.

So then we'll leave sooner.

Either way, you've got
to stop doing this to yourself.

Why don't we
get out of the house for a little while?

Huh?

Go down the hill,
take a drive.

Clear your head.

If a part of you didn't want me,

I could have never
made this work.

Pack.

We're leaving
tomorrow night, early.

We're gonna go to Italy.

Stay with the couple
from Xenia's party

until our house is ready.

Xenia arranged
for a private plane.

Everything.
It's all happening.

Pack.

She's expecting us, right?

She's expecting me.

I told her I was
in the neighborhood and I'd drop by.

She doesn't know
you've brought me?

Do you think
she'll be upset?

She'll be delighted.

Hello, Xenia.

I've brought someone.

Her name is Ann.

Hello, Ann.

Hello, Ms. Tomassini.

May we come in?

Please.

May I offer you
something to drink?

A glass of champagne,
thank you.

So, how do you two
know each other?

Ann is your biggest fan.
And so am I.

So our paths crossed.

Well, how have
the shows been going?

Wonderful.

It's a wonderful situation.

It's a wonderful play.

It's beyond wonderful.

Mimi, may I talk to you
for a moment?

Yes, of course.

You can't bring a virgin
into my home.

A virgin!

You're around all sorts
of people all the time.

I really didn't think twice.
I thought you'd be fine with it.

Out there-

not to have alone
in my home-

with the windows closed.

In my drawing room
staring at me like some sacrifice!

You've got to get her out.

I'm sorry, Xenia,
I didn't think.

I haven't tasted human blood
for 40 years.

It's almost a hundred years
I haven't tasted a virgin!

It gets harder.

You have to prepare
for these things...

to know your limits,

what you can bear,
and what you can't.

This is not acceptable.

I understand.

Finish your glass of champagne
and say you have to go.

May I please
have a glass of water?

- Of course.
- I'll get it.

You're so beautiful.

Even more beautiful
without makeup.

Oh, well,
thank you, darling.

That's very sweet.

And what do you do?

I'm a student.

Of course.

Of course you are.

I first saw you in "Medea. "

It changed my life.

I don't mean to be strange,
but I always felt

that we were destined
to meet.

When Mimi picked me
out of the crowd the other night...

and asked
if I wanted to meet you...

I was surprised,
of course I was.

But part of me wasn't.

Drink your water, Ann.

We have to be going soon.

Oh, no.

Did you cut your lip
on the glass?

There must
have been a chip.

Crystal chips so easily.

Oh, my God...

Are you all right?

Yeah, it's fine.

We have to go.
I have another appointment.

Don't leave yet.

You can't leave
bleeding like that.

Perhaps Ann can stay
until her bleeding stops.

Yes.

But I have to go myself.

Stay until it stops.

See?
It is destiny.

Goodbye, Xenia.

Are you sure
you don't want me to take her?

No, she'll stay with me.

We'll have a glass
of champagne and a nice talk.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

No one knows
and no one has to know.

I know how it is.

I can help you
take care of this.

If you have a saw,
I can do it in the bathtub.

I'm happy to help.

But there is something
we need to talk about.

I can't go to Phoenix, Xenia.

I'm all packed.

Before you
get on that plane with me

and we do this...

there's something
I need to tell you.

What is it?

I could stay
in the estate for now.

But what I'd really like to do

is have a place here
in the city.

Do you think you
can arrange that for me, Xenia?

You're the best.

There's something
I need to tell you as well.

Yeah?

Your agent...

She did?

No.

She didn't.

It was me.

That one was me.

Putain.

Are you the maid?

Thank God.

Help me.

Help me inside!

Help me!

Help me!

I will, madame.

Have a wonderful performance.

Are you ready?

Yes.

Thank you, Irene.

My pleasure, madame.

I think we've got everything.
Thank you, Irene.

Thank you so much
for everything.

I hope we'll meet again soon.

Thank you
for taking care of us.

Safe travels, madame.

Your plane is ready and waiting.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.
