GRADY: All right.
I want you to do now
is twirl around.
Good, that sultry look.
Now, great!
Fine.
Give me some clucks.
Now, turn around.
Fine like.
That's it.
Now, stick out your ass.
Stick out your ass.
Come on, give me some ass.
You don't have any tits.
You gotta give me something
for my money.
[LAUGHTER]
It's worth more than you've got.
NORBERT: Now, will you stop
talking about "ass"
-I'm trying to work.
-[GRADY LAUGHS]
The boldest
and the baldest photographer
-in town.
-GENEVIEVE: Baddest too.
NORBERT: Oh,
will you cut it out. Shit.
[LAUGHTER]
Hey, Noo Noo,
are you through with me?
NORBERT: No, no, darling.
Take off your bolero.
You're beautiful.
You're absolutely beautiful.
Beautiful, beautiful.
-You're too much.
-Wait 'till the job's done
-before you flip out.
-NORBERT: I won't flip out.
But if I flip over,
it'll be flopping over you!
[LAUGHTER]
BABY CAT: Very funny.
Yeah. That's it.
Freeze!

-Hello.
-Hello Sergio,
Romeux here.
The minute she comes out,
bring her over
to the country club.
Will do sir.
WOMAN: There she is.
Look at that coat.
MAN: Just a minute.
Hey, wait a minute.
Thanks.
That's right.
Hold it.
-MAN: You got it?
-MAN: Yeah.
You happen to be wearing a dressfor the collection?
MAN: Will you look
over here please.
What are you wearing?
Hey, would you mind showing us
what you're wearing?
Uh-uh.
MAN: Please Hold it.
If open your coat, ma'am,
with a little luck,
you could make the cover.
-What paper is that?
-Louie.
That's good press.
Brace yourselves.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
-MAN: Oh, God.
-WOMAN: I don't believe it.
That's the way you get
to be a star.
-[LAUGHS]
-I wouldn't mind.
MAN: Hey,
what are you doing tonight?
Whoo!
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Hey, she moves just like a cat.
Black panther.
MAN: Bye-bye.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
-I'll bet you tell Romeux.
-Well, I won't have to.
He'll know it
even before we get out there.
BABY CAT: Hey, now,
don't you like me?
[SIGHS]
No, you belong to the boss.
BABY CAT: I don't belong
to nobody, you hear?
I make it with whom I want
when I want.
A real modern woman.
BABY CAT: Yeah,
and you're real modern too.
What you want a security.
You'll settle for 7-Up
wishing it was champagne.
And you'll ball
that big fat wife of yours
while you're thinking of me.
My wife isn't fat.
I like her like she is.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[TIRES SCREECHING]
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
You want to try it, Cat?
Don't feel like it today.
I'm getting bored.
Well look, Sergio,
why don't you
drive her home then.
Make it
to your practice session,
and pick me up about 6:00.
-How's that?
-Yes, sir.
See you.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
[CAR ENGINE REVVING]
[TIRES SCREECHING]
BABY CAT: Don't move. Stay.
Stay like you are.
I thought of you the whole day.
[MOANING]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[MOANING]
Darling, I love you.
I love you so much.
[MOANING]
Give it to me.
Oh, darling.
Nice and slow.
[MOANING]
Oh my love.
You love me?
I'm sure you don't love me.
JAMES: Sure, I love you.
[MOANING]
It's so good.
Oh, James.
[MOANING]
My love.
[MOANING]
How's it going with Romeux?
James.
I was only kidding you, babe.
[GUN CLICKS]
[GUNSHOTS]
Go on.
[GUNSHOTS]
GRADY: Good.
Good shooting.
If the boss ever needs
a real body guard
he better get himself
somebody else.
And he'd be dead even
before I got my gun out.
Come on.
Don't you worry.
With a bit of practice,
you'll be up to par.
You've been coming here
ever since they tried
to snatch Romeux, no?
That's right.
He's afraid.
He even wentand put a telephone in the BMW.
Uh, I'm gonna be late.
I gotta go and pick him up.
Okay.
Good seeing you.
-See you.
-Ciao,Sergio.
Hey, you said you would
give Annie a hand,
-at the bar, remember?
-Okay.
I'll race you out there.
Loser gets to watch the dishes.
-All right.
-[GRADY LAUGHING]
[MOTORCYCLE ENGINE REVVING]
Somebody's gonna get
dishpan hands
and it won't be me.
[MOTORCYCLE ENGINE REVVING]
[CAR ENGINE REVVING]
[DOG BARKING]
Hmm. No answer.
You sure you got
the right number?
I couldn't have dialed
the wrong number
five times in a row, could I?
Try again.
[VEHICLE ENGINES REVVING]
It's about time
the two of you got here.
-Oh.-GRADY: Hey girls, how are you?
WOMAN: Hi ya.
I'm fine.
-GRADY: Hi.
-How are you?
So-so.
What's you're beef?
We're here, huh?
[LAUGHING]
ANNIE: Come on.
Put me down.
What I want is a steak,
mashed potatoes, and you.
Customers are watching.
Customers?
What customers?
[FOOTSTEPS]
ROMEUX: Baby?
What are you doing in bed?
You sleepy?
You tired or what?
I'm exhausted.
I don't know.
I must've called you
20 times today.
What were you doing?
I was right here.
Listening to records.
How'd you manage that?
What are you talking about?
The set's on the blink.
No way you could have listened
to records.
So what?
What I do
is none of your business.
I've had it.
I've had it with your suspicion.
I've had it with being hounded
by your chauffer.
All I have to say to you
is goodbye and bye-bye.
I've gotta get me some air.
And for those photos
in the Caribbean.
Find yourself somebody else.
I'm through with you.
You'll manage without me.
I want to live,
have fun...
with people my own age.
I'm fed up being suspected,
questioned, followed.
Get yourself somebody else
to spy on.
ROMEUX: Where are you going?
No more questions.
I'll send for my things.
Come here. [CHUCKLES]
Come on.
Come on, jump.
Jump on up here.
Nice little Chihuahua.
Big bugger. [LAUGHS]
-[PHONE RINGING]
-Don't move!
Hello?
Hello, Sergio?
I'm sorry to bother you.
I, uh, I mean,
Cat and I just had a spat
and she walked out on me.
She's probably
with that little punk.
You know, the one I fired
a couple of weeks ago.
Yeah, that's the one.
Why do you think I fired him?
Now try and see if you can fix things up, okay?
I'll make it up to you.
Keep me posted, huh?
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
I thought of you all morning.
I nearly went out of my mind.
[MOANING]
Oh, I want you so very much.
[MOANING]
I want you.
You drive me crazy.
-[JAMES MOANS]
-WOMAN: Oh, yes.
[MOANING]
-WOMAN: Yes, oh.
-JAMES: What do we have?
WOMAN: I love to touch you.
I love you.
[MOANING]
Yes.
Oh, yes.
Yes.
I feel so good with you.
Let me get undressed.
I'm in heaven.
[MOANING]
Good.
Please do it to me.
[MOANING]
Darling.
Yes, yes.
[MOANING]
[PHONE RINGING]
No, no.
Hello?
Hello darling.
You're in for a big surprise.
JAMES [ON PHONE]:
What do you mean?
I just left him.
Who are you talking about?
Romeux.
Aren't you glad?
Yeah, that was bright.
Of course it was bright.
JAMES: All right, all right.
So, what do you expect me
to do about it?
-Tell me.
-Come and get me.
I can't.
My car broke down.
Take a cab.
I'll wait for you.
You motherfucker.
You son of a bitch.
All right, Morris.
I'll wait for you.
It's my brother.
He's gonna sleep here tonight.
So now you have a brother.
You could have asked him
to wait.
Well, since I have to go,
I'm going.
Oh, come on.
Don't be that way, sweetheart.
All right, look,
I'm a little short of bread.
Can you spare any?
Of course, my love.
Fine.
I'll call you tomorrow.
I really enjoyed you my baby.
-Think of me once in a while?
-Sure.
"My baby". Huh.
What a stupid cunt.
[CAR ENGINE REVVING]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[CAR DOOR CLOSES]
JAMES: Come in.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Free at last.
I'm free.
I won't have
to wait around anymore
while he plays golf,
reads his mail,
sees boring friends.
I'll be able
to take care of you, now.
There was a woman in here.
I smell it.
I smell her perfume.
She smells like some old whore.
Oh, cut out the crap.
You goofed up enough
for one day.
What do you a mean?
How did I goof, huh?
Oh, you fucked things up,
that's all.
I'd swear you're doing it
on purpose.
How do you like that?
Here I am telling you
some old broad was up here
and I'm the one
that gets balled out.
Cool it, Cat.
Keep it cool.
BABY CAT: Okay, I'm listening.
But way you come on beats me.
[SIGHS] Forget it!
Though it could've worked.
What's that?
What could've worked?
Ah, well.
I fluffed it once.
The guys I had with me
turned out
to be a bunch of jerk-offs.
Okay, James.
I give up.
What's it all about?
What's the gimmick?
What did you fluff?
Romeux.
-Romeux?
-JAMES: That's right.
What about Romeux?
You mean the time
they tried to snatch him
it was your doing?
You mean that?
I don't believe it.
WOW!
Oh!
Shit!
What's stopping you
from trying again?
Well, that was the ideaand I had a pretty good scheme,
but, uh, I need you for it.
No shit!
What've I got to do with it?
I was going to kidnap you.
Pretend to,
you know what I mean.
He's mad about you,
he would've paid.
Are you dead sure you've got
it down pat this time?
Down pat.
No doubt about it.
Then all I have to do
is go back home
and ask him to forgive me.
[BOTH LAUGHS]
Good girl.
When are you going
to the Caribbean?
Shooting is scheduled,
for next Monday.
Full week.
I'll set things up
so we do it over there.
You shouldn't come out there.
Romeux's men
might recognize you.
Uh, no.
Don't you worry.
I'll play the mastermind.
I'll pull the strings
from right here.
With a hand-picked crew
this time.
-What's your plan?
-"Curiosity killed the cat."
Like, the less you know,
the more natural you'll act.
What are you doing?
What does it look like to you?
Aren't you going back
to Romeux's?
Oh, no, not quite yet.
You'll have to make it up
to me first.
[GIGGLES] Come on,
my beautiful stud,
stretch your stuff.
[BOTH LAUGHS]
[MOANING]
I thought you wanted me
to go back to Romeux's?
[MOANING]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

[CAR DOOR CLOSES]
[TELEPHONE RINGING]
Hello, Sergio?
SERGIO: Did I wake you up?
-Well, I could...
-No, I'm awake. Go on.
It's All right, it's All right.I'm awake.
-I'm listening.
-SERGIO: Well,
I went to the man's place,
uh, she was with him all right.
-Yeah.
-SERGIO: The man who tried
to kidnap you. He's going
to try something else.
-Huh?
-SERGIO: He's going to
-kidnap her!
-Why didn't you stick around?
No point in sticking around.
They stopped talking.
Stopped talking?
And then what?
Come on, boss!
Yeah.
SERGIO: You're making it
hard on me!
All right, forget it.
SERGIO: What am I
supposed to do now?
What can I say?
-Go back to sleep.
-SERGIO: Okay.
And pick me up
tomorrow morning at eight.
SERGIO: Goodnight.
Goodnight, Sergio.
Doesn't seem
to bother you any!
[LAUGHS]
It looks as though Baby Cat
is calling it quits
-if you ask me.
-Oh, yeah, you think so?
-Yeah.
-Oh, well...
Shh.
Somebody's coming!
Matthew!
-And you too, Louise.
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
-I don't want anybody to know
about it,
you both got that?
-Yes, sir.
-You?
Yes, of course!
[PHONE RINGING]
Didn't I tell you?
Trouble's a brewing.
Hello?
Hello, darling.
It's me.
Will you forgive me darling?
I'm utterly miserable.
ROMEUX: Where are you?
In a small cafe
somewhere downtown.
Can I please come back?
I'm sorry darling.
Please forgive me.
I swear I don't know
what got into me.
[LAUGHS]
What are you doing now?
My will and testament.
Oh stop that bull.
Don't do anything foolish,
you hear?
No, I won't.
I miss you though
you're a bitch
when you put your mind to it.
I love you
[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
I do too, my love.
Terribly.
I miss you too.
See you in a minute.
I love you too.
You're the man I want
to live with.
I want to make love with you.
I'll be right over.
Wait for me.
You will, won't you?
-ROMEUX: Yeah.
-I love you.
Bye.
[MOANS]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[DOOR SLAMS]
Oh, I'm so glad
to be back here with you.
-You love me, huh?
-Sure I do.
And I see you've got the keys.
Am I forgiven?
One thing I know,
and so do you, huh?
I can't get you out of my skin.
Let me show you something.
Go on.
[FOOTSTEPS]
What's down here?
Well you know
Peter's coming back.
Peter your son?
The two of you made up?
Uh-huh.
BABY CAT: That's wonderful!
You mean he's gonna move
down here
so he can play his music?
That's nice.
No, not him.
You.
-Me?
-Yes. Matthew and Louise
will take very good care of you.Don't worry.
You won't be disturbed
by any noise whatsoever.
The place was made perfectly
soundproof for Peter.
-See?
-What are you talking about?
Listen to me, baby.
You wanted to be kidnapped?
I've just kidnapped you.
[LAUGHS] Good luck!
Henry!
Open up, Henry!
I can explain!
Open the door, will you.
You can't do that.
Henry, open up!
Listen to me!
Oh!
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Son of a bitch!
It's unfair, you bastard!
You can't do that.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
About time you got here.
Oh, come on, be a sport!
Annie's been waiting
for an hour.
Sorry, I got held up.
Get in there.
Help her, she needs a hand.
How are you?
I'm fine.
It was pretty rough.
The coach was out
to draw blood.
How did Melanie shape up, huh?
You know she stands
a very good chance
to win the women's race.
Ah?
MELANIE: I'm sorry I'm late.
ANNIE: I managed, honey.
It's Okay.
MELANIE:
Who's the apple pie for?
ANNIE: The table in the back.
Next to the bar.
MELANIE: One pie coming up.
Alex!
Ham sandwich.
When are you leaving
for the Caribbean?
We hit a snag.
We lost our top model.
She chucked Romeux
and disappeared.
-Who, Baby Cat?
-She split?
We've got three days left
to come up with somebody
to fill the slot.
Well, don't let it get you down.
-You want something to drink?
-A peron.
-Me too.
-I'll get it.
Hang in there.
I've got an idea for you.
I've just found you a job.
I think translating's great.
-What language?
-Better than that.
-Cover girl!
-Oh. [SOFT LAUGH]
You're pulling leg.
I'm dead serious.
Why don't you ask?
The boys just lost
their top model.
-You take over, that's all.
-Oh, come on!
I could never make it.
I'm not pretty enough.
My Dad love to see Momma's faceif ever she saw me naked
-in a magazine.
-Uh-huh.
She'd never get over it.'
Why don't you give it a try?
I'm for it.
I can tell you,
she's got a fine body.
We go to the same pool.
She's thin and lean,
just like me.
We all know
you're beautiful, huh.
-Oh.
-You're a beauty.
Made up, I think
she'd do just fine.
Come on. I know
there's a lot of things
I manage to do pretty well.
I can handle a parachute.
I can handle a bike.
I speak three languagesand I'm pretty good behind a bar
in my free time.
But I could never be a model.
Why not?
You're pretty.
I say let's give it a try.
Well now, what do you say?
[FOOTSTEPS]
Hello.
Good morning.
I like to see Mr. Romeux.
Do you have an appointment?
Uh, no.
Not exactly.
Who should I say is calling?
Mr. Romeux.
Yes, I understand.
But, uh, who should
I say is calling?
Mr. Romeux.
Peter Romeux.
Ah.
I'm sorry.
It's my mistake.
Will you follow me, please.
[KNOCKS ON DOOR]
Come in.
Peter.
Ah.
I'm happy to see you.
I like you this way
with your hair cut.
And you're nice
and slim now, boy.
You're built like an athlete.
Spitting image of me
thirty years ago.
[LAUGHS]
Except you've got
your mother's eyes.
Sit down.
It's good to see you Peter.
I'm happy to see you back.
It's been quite a while.
Five years.
Five years.
Look, I need you, Peter.
Is this my step-mother, huh.
Cool it man.
No, I mean it, I need you.
I really could use your help.
Father, business isn't my bag.
Nothing matters to me
except music.
I've got a second album
coming out.
That's why I'm in Paris.
I don't mind your music.
Why should I mind your music?
I don't mind it at all.
Who pushed you to take up musicin the first place?
And my business is doing fine
without your help.
No, I need you for something
special in the Caribbean.
The Caribbean?
I wouldn't mind the Caribbean.
That's good.
Listen to me Peter.
Nobody here knows who you are.
Nobody has ever seen you.
And I want it stay that way.
Well, umm, I gave her my name.
She's as quiet as a tomb.
Why the mystery?
Well...
[CAMERA CLICKS]
DON: Raise the rifle.
All right, that does it.
Pull up the projectors will you.
Okay, the call is over.
GRADY: All right girls,
do the set.
Come on.
-AURIEL: Slave driver.
-LENA: Real drag.
GRADY: Melanie, you're on.
Okay.
-NORBERT: Get a twirl girl.
-Good.
NORBERT: Well,
if I went in for women.
I do, so don't spoil it for me.
ROMEUX: Huh.
That's nice.
I mean it.
Beautiful.
Uh, this is Mr. Romeux.
Hi, boss.
ROMEUX: At least you're not shy.
I'd like you to meet
my Los Angeles representative.
Peter.
-How are you?
-I'm just fine.
How is she?
Is she All right?
Yeah, and not because
she's a friend.
Hang on.
I'll show you the contacts.
Ladies, home you go.
It's been a long day.
See you tomorrow.
Same time, same gate, okay?
-See you.
-See you tomorrow.
TOMOKO: Goodbye.
Bye, Norbert.
NORBERT: Get some sleep
for a change.
ROMEUX: Huh, yeah.
It's very nice.
Very, very nice.
Good recruit.
You'll do just fine, girl.
The job's yours, Melanie.
Welcome on-board.
That's it.
And what's more she's a dancer.
-Yeah...
-She jumps out of planes
with a parachute,
she rides pretty well
she's a trail bike champion
and she plays the guitar.
What I need her for
is to wear dresses,
for which after all,
music is not indispensible.
Music is always indispensible.
-You're right.
-Yahoo!
-[LAUGHTER]
-ROMEUX: Ladies,
since we're doing this
for LA Magazine,
Peter will be representing them
and he's the one
who will be taking you
to the Caribbean.
Oh, by the way,
have you got agent?
Yeah, me.
I'm her agent.
And your bar downstairs
is a model agency?
Come along with me,
we'll talk about her contract.
Come on.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
Anybody see my other boot?
Where's my boot?
Uh.
[GUN COCKS]
Melanie, you're crazy.
Will you put that rifle down
for Christ's sake.
[GUNSHOT]
GRADY: That's my girl.
Congratulations.
Good shot.

-TOMOKO: Looks like I got
to sleep alone too, no?
[LAUGHTER]
MELANIE: Feels so good.
[MOANS]
Nothing beats a shower.
AURIEL: I'm about to see.
MELANIE: This heat

Hey! What do you think
you're doing?
AURIEL: Ah, why not, uh?
You've got a nice body.
You want me
to scrub you're back?
MELANIE: Don't bother.
It's All right.
Wait a minute.
All right,
leave me alone, will you.
-Leave me alone.
-Don't be silly!
Why shouldn't girls
have fun together?
Well, not me.
Here, go on,
take your shower.
There you go.
Forget it.
Look, would you do me
a favor please?
What?
Would you let me have the room
for a couple of hours?
You know
what I'm talking about.
There's someone I'd like to see.
I'll be damned.
That was fast work.
[SOFT LAUGH]
You're pretty.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
What do you say we take off
and go to bed?
-Goodnight.
-Goodnight.
Could I ask Baby Cat
for an autograph?
Baby Cat?
You've got the wrong girl.
That's not very nice.Everybody knows you're Baby Cat.
Look. I just told you,
you've got the wrong girl.
My name isn't Baby Cat.
I'm Melanie.
That's not very nice of you.
-I'm one of your real admirers.-Bull shit.
I'll tell you what's what.
Baby Cat stayed in Paris
is what!
What's the matter with you?
She says she's not Baby Cat.
How about a nice cool drink
in my room?
Bull shit!
Suits yourself sweetheart.
Beautiful, alone, and unhappy.
Something ought to be done
about it.
-Just say the word.
-The word is bullshit!
Huh.
[KNOCKS]
-You working already, yeah?
-TOM: Beautiful.
You're jumping the gun,
aren't you?
TOM: Venus on the half shell.
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING]

Yeah.
That's nice.
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING]

I'm still all wet.
TOM: Come stretch out
on the bed.
Here.
Right there.
Take off the towel.
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
TOM: Stretch out
your legs a bit.
Here.
Give me a smile.
You're beautiful.
Really beautiful.
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]
Come a little closer.
Right there.
Whoo! It's hot.
You are very beautiful
like that.
Do you want some sex?
Do you want me?
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Please be gentle with me.
[EXHALES]
Yes.
[MOANS]
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
TOMOKO: [GASPS] Yes.
-I like it.
-TOM: Hmmm.
[TOMOKO MOANING]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
TOMOKO: I love it.
Oh, yes.
[MOANING]
[KNOCKS]
LENA: Come in.
I'm sorry!
Why did you stop?
Isn't that friendly?
She came to visit us, huh.
Come in, Melanie.
Come on now,
don't be a prude.
Come and sit down.
What's wrong?
Look at you.
Are you sick or something?
Look Lena, isn't she pretty?
Whatever's wrong,
we can make it right.
No thanks!
[MOANING]
I love your skin.
[LENA AND GENEVIEVE MOANING]
Come and kiss me.
[LENA AND GENEVIEVE MOANING]
I love it with you.
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
[LENA AND GENEVIEVE MOANING]
[FOOTSTEPS]
-Mel, hey.
-Ah! You leave me alone!
You're like all the others.
[INSECTS CHIRPING]
What's the matter?
-What's it to you?
-Come on, cool it.
[MELANIE PANTS]
-Sleep well honey--
-Yeah, honey.
[SWITCH CLICKS]
God, it's hot.
What do you say
we take a shower?
Uh, everybody's asleep.
We can go for a swim
in the pool.
-Come on.
-All right.
[SIGHS]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Isn't it pretty?
-So nice and cool.
-Yeah.
Oh. Is it cold?
Come on.
-Ooh.
-Hmm.
Oh...
Oh, hmm.

[WAVES CRASHING]
Well, what exactlydid James tell you on the phone?
Well, that she left.
The agency confirmed it.
Uh, one thing
puzzled him though.
She was supposed to call him
before she left
and she didn't.
MARIE: What if
it's the wrong girl?
-We'd better forget it.
-Not a chance.
There's too much money
riding on it.
James thinks it's a shoe in.
And I've got news for you.
The girl out there
is Baby Cat.
It's written
all over her T-shirt.
Yeah.
Uh-oh...
MARIE: Well the last time
you tried it,
it was supposed to be
a sure thing too, right?
It's a good thing
those stupid cops
didn't dig too deep
or we'd a been done for.
OLIVER: Can it.You're doing my morale no good.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
[WAVES CRASHING]
All right, here I go.
Hello there Baby Cat,
-I see you're an early riser.
-So it's you again!
I told you
I'm not I'm not Baby Cat
It's okay.
I just had James on the phone.
I don't know
what you're talking about.
Now would you please be so kindand get away from me!
What's that?
I don't know
what your game is sister!
Oh!
[WAVES CRASHING]
[GRUNTS]
Crazy or what?
Cut that out!
[OLIVER GROANS]
MELANIE: You want to figure
your arm put in a splint?
-[GROANING]
-Baby Cat stayed in Paris,
I'm sitting in for her.
Does that register?
Now get the fuck away,
you creep!
Fuck off.
Next time it's your ass!
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Are you hoarding the films?
Yeah, in my room.
Come along.
[PHONE RINGS]
Hello?
Yes?
I'll try and get him for you.
Somebody here
is looking for Mr. Romeux.
Is there a Mr. Romeux here?
The other phone is on the blink.
Do you mind taking this call
from here?
No, I don't mind.
Hello?
Peter Romeux here.
Hi Dad.
All right I guess.
Not so far.
[LAUGHTER]
Take your pick.
They're up for grabs.
This is the life!
You're not supposed
to pick them.
TOMOKO: In my country,
we eat them!
[LAUGHTER]
LENA: Here,
let me fix your hair.
AURIEL: When do we get
to practice with the natives?
-GENEVIEVE: You mean men?
-Come on girls, get a move on.
The boat's waiting out there.
-MELANIE: Well, we're ready.
-LENA: And willing.
GRADY: Now hang on,
let me get this shot.
Where are they?
LENA: On the boat.
There's a skipper.
-AURIEL: We'll have to jump him!-GENEVIEVE: Skip it!
[LAUGHTER]
Let's follow them.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
MATTHEW: Good morning.
But ma'am.
I--I'm sorry but, uh,
you can't do that.
Oh? Now why couldn't I?
I'm doing it.
-But what if mister--
-Uh.
What if Mr. Romeux
finds out about it?
Fuck the son-of-a-bitch!
-Well, yes, but...
-[MOANS]
[MOANING]
Will you let me
outta here after?
[MOANS]
[WAVES CRASHING]
Nothing we can do
out here anyway is there?
Better wait
for them at the hotel.
GRADY:
That's the last one for me.
We're through for the morning.
-Nice work if you can stand it.-NORBERT: Jez, it's hot.
-You mean, like it's too hot?
-Would you be complaining?
I think there's something
we can do about that!
Oh, oh, no!
Oh, no!
Oh, come on boys.
-Don't!
-And you go.
A one...
-and a two!
-NORBERT: No!
[WATER SPLASHES]
[LAUGHTER]
Why are they so mean to him?
[LAUGHTER]
-I'll bet you are very cool now!-I'll get you for this!
I hate you!
I'm freezing cold now!
That makes you unique
in a thousand square miles!
-[LAUGHTER]
-Bastards!
-The first bath of the year--
-Bastards!
-Bastards!---and instead of making wishes
-there he is complaining!
-[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Shit!
Thank you!
Thanks a lot!
And I hope you drown.
I think
we'd better call James.
[MOANING]
Leave the keys, huh.
The door's never been locked.
You mean I can walk out?
You could've walked out
any time.
Phew!
You poor prick.
You think you're a man?
Any time you say, ma'am.
All right,
my little bathing beauties.
Your attention.
This is important.
-LENA: Yes.-Do you want to have lunch here
-or on the beach?
-I say right here.
-Me too.
-We've got a couple of hours.
That's how long
it's going to take me to eat.
-Hey, dude.
-Yeah?
Better wait 'till 3:00.
I don't know,
you may be right.
-We'll see.
-How would you like
to make it a picnic,
you and me?
Forget it man.
I'm the one who decides.
The hell with machos.
What's a macho?
[VEHICLE ENGINES REVVING]
Damn it.
He kept me locked up
-for five days!
-Oh, stop it will you!
Darling, you're the onewho thought you were locked up.
[PHONE RINGING]
You were stupid that's all.
Yeah. Hello?
Yeah, how are you?
Yeah, I know.
She's right here.
I'll tell you about it.
What?
That's what I call luck!
Ah, he's far better than Baby.
Yeah, sure.
I know a man I can trust.
He's got a boat.
Yeah, Marie's right here.
And I know a cabinwhere he'll be safe for a while.
Okay. Call me back
when it's all set.
Yeah, see you.
Romeux's son is out there?
Now, who was it on the phone?
A friend of mine
in St. Barth's.
It's all going to work out.
This time,
Romeux will shell it out big!
Hmm, great. [LAUGHS]
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
We'll pull him tomorrow.
We can't do it tonight.
Don't just sit there.
Why don't you go and dance?
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
[SAXOPHONE PLAYING]
[LAUGHTER]
LENA: As a dancerthat's what I call a real flop.
[LAUGHTER]
AURIEL: That took real balls.
That was not very smart.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Love's so beautiful.
GRADY: Hey, keep it clean!
All right.
That's good.
Look happy.
LENA: Double the fee.
NORBERT: That'll do, do, do.
Hold the handle.
-GRADY: Lean back.
-MELANIE: All right.
-How's that?
-GRADY: Hold it.
NORBERT: I want that
reflector to reflect.
Right. Got it.
That does it. Pack gear.
[CLAPPING HANDS]
Let's wait until he's alone.
I know what
I'm supposed to do.
Uh, would you like
to take it out for a spin?
Yeah. [GIGGLES]
Would it be okay
if we took it for a ride?
Sure, you paid
for a day's rent.
Watch it though. This one
hasn't got much gas left.
Thanks. You take that
big one here.
All right, that's cool.
[MOTORCYCLE ENGINE REVVING]
I'm sorry we're dry.
Try the station
on the road to Gustavia.
[ENGINE REVVING]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
My bike ran out of gas.
Could you give me a lift?
Sure thing.
I'll get in the back.
No, stay where you are.
It's all right.
I'd rather.
Thank you.
Thanks a lot.
It's very nice of you.
[ENGINE REVVING]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
You didn't happen to see
that man I came through
with a little while ago?
Yeah, I did. He was in that jeepthat just drove by.
What do you mean a jeep?
You know, Ma'am.
A jeep.
With a blue roof
and a black chick.
Thanks a lot.
[ENGINE REVVING]
Not bad.
It's not bad at all.
And that's fine and dandy
except I want your right hand
on your waist. Yeah.
Stick out your chest, Lena.
Lean back against each other.
Lena, your right hand.
Good girl.
Your left hand Lena.
NORBERT: Look, don't move.
Whatever you do, don't move.
A statue.
You're a golden statue
like Apollo's Belvedere.
Okay.
All right but lean back.
Great.
Let's try
the other side now.
You know, oh, yes.
You know who you look like?
You looked
like Linda Darnell.
All right, smile now.
Lena, look up now
at the cat on the roof.
It'll great. Down now.
Hey, Where's Melanie?
All right, I'll get her.
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
What's up?
They're waiting for you.
He's been kidnapped.
What are you talking about?
They wanted
to kidnap Baby Cat.
They thought I was her.
Come on,
they're waiting for us,
NORBERT: Your nose
is all red, darling.
Will you come and fix it?
You eat too much.
GENEVIEVE: No I don't,
that's not true.
NORBERT: Then you must
drink too much.
GENEVIEVE: No, no.
It happens. I don't drink.
NORBERT: In that case,
it's your ovaries.
[LAUGHTER]
-You're something else.
-No, no, I don't believe you
man!
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
Yeah, hang on.
I get him for you.
Grady, you're wanted
on the phone.
GRADY: I'm coming.
Grady here.
What?
He probably went into town.
No, he didn't. I know
he didn't, believe me.
It's really getting to you.
You didn't fall for him,
did you?
Romance is under foot like
a snake.
What's the matter?
Anything wrong?
Yeah. That was Romeux
on the phone.
They kidnapped his son.
What son?
Peter can't be Romeux's son!
I'm as surprised as you are.
-What's their game?
-Why is obvious.
I believe I know who.
So do I.
James.
Yeah. Hang on a minute.
Look, you can't go out there.
Why not?
If Romeux sees you,
he'll soon put two
-and two together.
-Yeah, you're right about that
but I've gotta go
and pick up the ransom money.
The others could pick it up.
I trust them, but then again.
Do you trust me?
Sure, but they know you too.
Yeah, but the difference is,
I've got a score to settle
with Henry.
I don't want you to risk it.
Hmm? What if something
happened to you?
Nothing will happen to me.
I made up my mind, see,
I'll be on that plane.
[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
I brought you something
to eat.
[GUN CLICKS]
[COUGH]
You mind telling me how long
you plan to keep me here?
Not too long.
Your father just got here.
I hope he's got the money.
Later tonight we'll tell him
how to get the money to us.
And you'll be
all right.
[COUGH]
I sure hope so.
It's a bit short on comfort.
Also hygiene,
music
and women.
In other circumstances
I wouldn't have minded
making love with you.
Same for me.
[GRUNTING]
Don't you ever do that again
or you're a good as dead.
Now you sit down.
I'm tying you up.
It just could've worked out
you know.
Shut up.
Uh, what do you mean
kidnap you?
They thought I was Baby Cat
I guess.
Yeah?
They don't know her.
That's clear enough.
Thanks a lot.
And they didn't talk
to anybody else?
No, no.
[TELEPHONE RINGING]
Yeah, that's right.
Yes.
Who should I say is calling?
His kid sister.
Just a moment.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
ROMEUX: Romeux here.
Mr. Romeux, have you got
the loot?
Yes, where's my son??
He'll be all right.
Keep the cops out of it.
I'll call at 9:00 pm.
And tell you everything
you need to know.
We'll make the switch, uh,
somewhere on a boat,
out at sea at night.
Hello. Wait a minute!
-[SIGHS]
-The girl or the man?
I don't know.
Guess it was a man.
-I don't know.
-What did he want?
He said he'd call later on.
What we should do
is look for the car.
What are they driving?
Guess it's some kind of jeep.
No, it's a Volkswagen command
car with an awning top
with blue stripes.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[AIRPLANE ENGINE WHIRRING]
Hello there.
Damn well nearly
fucked it up.
I didn't know you.
Nobody told me.
There's this girlwith Baby Cat written all over.
Just tell me where
that bitch is.
I'll waste her ass well.
We'll see about that later.
Let's get the bread first.
[ENGINE REVVING]
MELANIE: Look over there.
GRADY: That's a Toyota.
Good car.
TOM: Let's try this place.
-GRADY: No.
-SERGIO: Dead end.
MELANIE: Yeah.
What does it look like
over there?
SERGIO: Nope.
They've called us if
they found it. Let's turn in.
-Why not.
-Anybody calls, you switch it
-on to my room. Got that?
-Sure.
-ROMEUX: Good night.
-TOMOKO: Good night.
-NORBERT: Good night.
-LENA: Good night.
[CAR ENGINE REVVING]
MELANIE: There it is.
GRADY: Are you sure? Got it!
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
All right.
We'll cut through here.
You go back that way.
He's probably
at the shed down there.
First one who finds it,
waits for the others.
All right. And no noise.
The lights.
Let's go.
[ENGINE REVVING]
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
MARIE: Get up.
And watch it.
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
SKIPPER: So far so good.Romeux checked in at the hotel.
The Pomadore.
All right.
Get him on the boat.
We'll check in regularly.
On which frequency?
-Six.-Watch him. He's full of tricks.
It runs in the family.
Yeah, on my step-mother's
side.
You son of a bitch.
Come on asshole. See you back
at the boat with the money.
It's Peter! Pet--
Sounds to me like
you're in love.
Shhh, Shut up.
[WATER GUSHING]
Come on. Get in.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Don't move.
-What do you want?
-Shut up. Out!
Stop or I'll shoot.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
-Look at him.
-Take it easy, Mel,
take it easy.
Isn't that the girl we saw
at the hotel?
Come on!
MARIE: No!
MELANIE: You bitch!
Ouch! [GRUNTS]
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
[GROANING]
-You bitch.
-[INDISTINCT]
[BOTH GRUNTING]
MELANIE: Move or I'll break
your arm!
MARIE: Ahhh! Ahhh!
[COUGHS]
Good show! You don't
even need me around!
Good show because of you!
Okay. Back to the hotel.
MARIE: Oh! Oh!
What do you say we drink
to this little twerp's money,
-hmm?
-Yeah, to money.
This is the Arrowwack.
Oliver, do you read me?
Come in?
This is the Arrowwack.
Oliver, come in Oliver!
Hmm.
What are you thinking about?
SKIPPER: Take a guess.
Go ahead and bang away.
Don't mind me.
Turn around
or I'll break your head.
Cut it out.
I love to have
an audience when I fuck.
Hmm.
You're beautiful.
You like me?
Yeah.
Hmm.
[MOANS AND GROANS]
[MOANS AND GROANS]
I like that.
Oh.
Give it to me.
I love the feel of your skin.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Did you hear that noise?
Listen! There's someone
on the bridge.
You think so?
I'm going out there.
Oh, uh...
SKIPPER: Uh! Ah.
Do I get three
guesses?
One move and you're dead.
Let go that gun.
MELANIE: Where do you think
you're going?
-BABY CAT: Home!
-TOM: Freeze honey!
Saved by the belle!
Uh, you had us worried.
Who's us?
Hmmm.
You're taking advantage of me
because my hands are tied.
Jesus. [LAUGHS]
Turn around.
This was beginning
to cramp my style.
Oh, well.
I guess that's it.
Uh, I've been waiting
for this. Hmm.
TOM: Melanie, what are you doingdown there?
Yeah. It's all right!
Come on.
[LAUGHS]
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
ROMEUX: End of the line.
Everybody out.
Hey boss, hear that
outboard? It's them.
How did it go?
Safe and sound.
No, I don't wanna see him!
MELANIE: Come here.
[PANTING]
-How are you?
-Alright! I'm alright.
Step-mother's in
for a rough time.
ROMEUX: Say, look at that!
[GRUNTS] Let go of me.
Bitch.
[PANTING]
BABY CAT: Scratch out
your eyes.
GRADY: That's enough, Melanie.
ROMEUX: Cat and Tiger.
You bitch, I'll thrash you.
I'll kill you!
[GRUNTING]
[PANTING]
ROMEUX: Can't say it's nice
seeing you again, baby.
What do we do with her now?
What do we do with her now?
Let's drown her.
She isn't worth the effort.
PETER: Amateurs.
I guess I can make it back to
Paris now. What do you think?
I want to talk to you.
But first I'll take a shower.
Yeah, good idea. Come on.
[BOTH PANTING]
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
You wanted to talking!
Well, I'm listening son.
Thanks a lot for coming over.
That's perfectly normal.
I wanted to make sure
you were having fun
in the Caribbean.
I don't know if I really
had fun in the Caribbean,
but [CHUCKLES] the Caribbean
did bring me something.
That's so? Well,
I guess it's something
really serious.
[CHUCKLES] As serious
as the love you had
for my mother.
I don't know. Somebody said
that life always left
some heart strings
trailing behind.
But one thing for sureI didn't waste my time with you.
In that case...
to you, and to both of you.
No, to us.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
NORBERT: Oh! The heat.
I can't stand anymore!
Ah! Help! A woman!
-How are you, darlin'?
-Oh, Baby!
You really made an ass
of yourself!
You still love me, Norbert?
Of course I do.
Are you getting that beer
or aren't you?
NORBERT: I'm coming
for Christ's sake.
GRADY: That's fine, Melanie.
Hold it right there.
That's it. Nice.
TOMOKO: They're sweet,
I like them.
GENEVIEVE: Maybe we can get
to keep them.
GRADY: Alright girls,
get your act together.
Wait a minute.
Shape up, Auriel.
All right, let's go.
Bring your elbows forward.
Yeah. Tomoko, now what's
that supposed to be,
Madame Butterfly?
It's my new lotus position.
GRADY: You want
another Hiroshima?
[LAUGHTER]
Hey, wandering off that way,
I hope he won't get
kidnapped again.
Oh, don't mind her.
She's jealous, that's all.
[LAUGHTER]
GRADY: So you finally made
it. It's about time.
-LENA: Beer!
-AURIEL: Can I have a double
rum and coke?
Watch the hair on the next
shots will you?
Where's Melanie?
Well, look over there.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
ROMEUX: That was pretty lucky.
And the best part of it.
-That's wonderful.
-SERGIO: You're right.
BABY CAT: Henry, You can't
leave me like this.
I love you Henry.
You know that!
-Cut it out. C'mon,
-Henry.
-that just about does it.
-You can't leave me stranded,
because I got mixed up
in something stupid!
-I'm sorry.
-Something stupid!
You mean kidnapping my son
is a minor misdemeanor?
Take me with you Henry.
I'll do anything you want.
She must be mad!
Better get moving boss.
BABY CAT: It's over,
really, really, really!
Oh, please, Henry, please!
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
HENRY: As somebody once
said standing the sun,
"The rich always get nice
and brown and the poor
always end up getting roasted."
[HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING]
Henry! Henry!
Henry!
Henry!
