Valmont You want me to seduce a little girl, who has seen nothing, who knows nothing, who'll probably flop on her back out of simple curiosity? You don't need *me* for *that*. Anyone can do that.

Madame de Volanges Did I show you the cabinet I gave Cecile? It's an exquisite piece. Well, I told her: "You can lock all your secrets in there." Do you know what she said? "Maman, you know it will never be locked." Isn't that the sweetest thing a daughter can say to her mother?

Mertuil Oh! Yes, yes.

Madame de Volanges Well, it's locked.

Mertuil Oh.

Madame de Volanges I have a duplicate key of course.

Mertuil Of course.

🧡

Madame de Volanges Cecile! Martine!

Martine Yes, Madame?

Madame de Volanges Where is Cecile?

Martine [nervously] Cecile? She's... she... she has...

Madame de Volanges Where is she?

[Martine can't form an answer; Volanges, unable to find Cecile, rings for José]

Madame de Volanges José, have you been at your post all night?

José Yes, madame.

Madame de Volanges Has anyone come in?

José No, Madame.

Madame de Volanges Martine?

Martine [fearfully] Yes, Madame?

Madame de Volanges Did she go and see that music teacher?

Martine [hysterically] I don't know, Madame. She doesn't talk to me anymore. She only talks to Madame de Merteuil now. And she... she...

[Volanges turns to leave, Martine faints]

🥱

Valmont I feel awful.

Mertuil Are you surprised? You are an awful man.

Valmont Do you think a man can change?

Mertuil Yes, for the worse.

Valmont I think you're as awful as I am.

Mertuil I am.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Mertuil Valmont, you disappoint me. That's what's keeping you here. Tell me, are you really falling in love?

Valmont Does that make you jealous?

Mertuil Not really.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Mertuil Men are always chasing after visions, my dear. They want us to be angels.

Baroness But in bed they want us to be demons, my dear.

Baron Yes, indeed, it always comes as a morning surprise when you wake up in the arms of an ordinary woman.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Mertuil [to Valmont] You must have a lot of courage, Visconte, to come here after you sent that lunatic harp teacher to kill me.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Baroness Are you hinting that I could be unfaithful to my husband?

Valmont Not now. But if you were alone...

Madame de Tourvel Monsier Valmont, you simply don't understand women.

Baroness You're right. Look, if a woman wants a little adventure, she doesn't need to be alone.

[looking straight at her husband]

Baroness She can manage it perfectly well right under her husbands nose.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Mertuil Why do you want to be a husband, when you can be a lover?

Danceny Keep writing.

Mertuil Why don't you leave all the boredom of marriage to Gercourt, and keep the excitement of love for yourself?

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Madame de Rosemonde Ah, my sweet girl. If I understand what these people have been saying, you have a dilemma.

Cecile I do?

Madame de Rosemonde Tell me, if it were up to you, would you rather marry that Monsieur de... eh...

Mertuil Gercourt.

Madame de Rosemonde Exactly, Gercourt. Or the other one? The one with the harp.

Cecile Well, I... I... I'll do whatever my Maman wants me to do.

Valmont But that is not what my aunt is asking you. Forget Maman. If you had the choice, who would you pick? You, yourself?

Cecile Oh! I... I... I guess I would marry Monsieur de Gercourt, and... keep Monsieur Danceny for a lover?

🥱

Madame de Tourvel This letter is from a close friend of mine. "All his life, Monsieur de Valmont has been and is a consummate master of the art of seduction. Hundreds of women, and I am not exaggerating Madame, have paid for it. He has charmed his countless victims designing his every gesture, every word, every smile in a cold-blooded scheme that has only one squalid end: to destroy the woman's honor." Is this true?

Valmont Who wrote that?

Madame de Tourvel Is it?

[no response]

Madame de Tourvel Monsieur de Valmont, don't waste your time on me. I am not, and I never will be, one of those women.

Valmont I know that.

Madame de Tourvel So, why do you keep trying?

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Valmont I won and I have the right to collect my prize!

🥱

Valmont I feel awful.

Mertuil Are you surprised? You are an awful man.

🧡

👏

🥺

🥱

Mertuil We should never be enemies. We should always be friends. Good friends.

Valmont More than that.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Madame de Tourvel No. No, I'm not clever enough to talk to you.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Cecile Is he your lover?

Mertuil Cecile - one doesn't ask questions like that. Certainly not of a widow.

Cecile Widows don'e have lovers?

Mertuil No. They don't.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Madame de Volanges Oh, my dear. I'd love you to spend some time with Cecile. She could learn so much from you. I want her to enter this marriage as innocent as she is - and as wise as you are.

Mertuil Oh, you flatter me.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Mertuil Cecile, that man is very bad for a young lady's reputation. Your mother shouldn't even know he was in our box.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Mertuil It's really sweet to see Cecile so excited about her marriage.

Madame de Volanges Oh, yes, yes. She's excited, very excited. It almost has me worried.

Mertuil Why?

Madame de Volanges Well, she's been at that convent since she was *eleven*. She's so innocent. So unprepared.

Mertuil Well, as long as her husband doesn't mind.

Madame de Volanges Oh, no! On the contrary, he seems obsessed by her purity and virginity.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Cecile Monsieur de Valmont wanted me to write; so, I was writing that letter.

Mertuil And?

Cecile You know.

Mertuil Monsieur de Valmont is quite a writer, isn't he?

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Madame de Tourvel Don't move. I'll prepare something for you. I'll wait on you. I want to serve you.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Madame de Tourvel Sleep. Sleep on. Let me just stay here and look at you. Night after night, I had to close my eyes to see your face.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Valmont I'd do whatever Mama wants me to do.

Valmont But that's not what my Aunt is asking you. Forget Mama. If you had the choice, who would you pick? You, yourself.

Cecile I guess I would marry Monsieur de Gercourt - and keep Monsieur de Danceny for a lover?

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Madame de Tourvel Sometimes my friends tell me I'm naive.

[clutches her chest]

Madame de Tourvel But, I'm not so silly that I don't see what you want.

Valmont Yes? What do I want?

Madame de Tourvel If you don't stop talking that way, we can't be friends.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Mertuil Cecile, if you allow your hand to be held too long, men will take it as an encouragement.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Mertuil That young lady is the daughter of my cousin, Madame de Volanges. She's about to get married and she's under my protection. So, you keep away from her.

Valmont How old did you say she was?

Mertuil Fifteen, you monster.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Mertuil You know, little Cecile, she - she reminds me so much of myself when I was 15. She's naive, innocent, - pure.

Valmont Yes?

Mertuil I want you to put an end to it. I want you to take her virginity. I want Gercourt to discover on his wedding night, that he didn't get there first. I want to make him the laughingstock of Paris.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Mertuil More.

Gercourt More?

Mertuil I want more.

Gercourt Well, then you might have to find yourself another lover.

Mertuil Oh, no. I'm very happy with the one I have.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Madame de Volanges Do you know what I found? Letters. Love letters.

Mertuil From?

Madame de Volanges From her miserable music teacher.

Mertuil That little boy?

Madame de Volanges That little snake!

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Valmont What do you want to wager?

Mertuil Anything you want.

Valmont You. Your body.

Mertuil And if you lose?

Valmont Anything you want.

Mertuil I want you to shut yourself in a monastery, anoint yourself with ashes and repent for all your sins.

Valmont I accept.

Mertuil Good night, my little monk. I'm afraid you'll be very lonely. Remember me in your prayers sometime.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Madame de Tourvel Monsieur de Valmont, I know some women might be weak, but, believe me, there are women who will always be true.

Baron Nonsense! A true woman is a contradiction in terms.

Valmont Not always. I believe that some women stay true. I find them fascinating.

Mertuil Men usually do.

Madame de Tourvel I've noticed that.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Mertuil What a nincompoop!

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Cecile He's dead! I killed him. I won!

🧡

🥺

🤔

🥱

Gercourt I'm glad you want to join my regiment.

Danceny I don't, sir.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Madame de Tourvel I would never tell you what to do. But, please, go away. Please, please go away. I know I should be the one to leave. And I know it's my duty, but I haven't the strength. I can't go on like this. When I sit down, you sit next to me. When I speak, you answer. I blush in your company, and everybody sees it. But, then, when - when I am alone... oh... Please, go away. I beg you. Please. Please go.

Valmont Is that what you want?

Madame de Tourvel Do you want me to say - that I don't want you to leave? I can't say that. I can't!

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Madame de Volanges Why are you locking your cabinet?

Cecile Is it locked?

Madame de Volanges Give me the key.

Cecile I don't know where it is.

Madame de Volanges It's hanging round your neck.
