I love this scene...

1. Tourvel: Your only five minutes late, but I get so frightened. I become convinced that I’m never going to see you again.
2. Valmont: My angel.
3. Tourvel: Is it like that for you too?
4. Valmont: Yes. At this moment, for example, I’m quite convinced I’m never going to see you again.
5. Tourvel: (laughing) What?
6. Valmont: I’m so bored you see. It’s beyond my control.
7. Tourvel: What do you mean?
8. Valmont: Well after all it’s been four months. So, what I said, “It’s beyond my control.”
9. Tourvel: Do you mean you don’t love me anymore?
10. Valmont: My love had great difficulty outlasting your virtue, it’s beyond my control.
11. Tourvel: It’s that woman isn’t it?
12. Valmont: You are quite right; I have been deceiving you with Emilie, among others. It’s beyond my control.
13. Tourvel: Why are you doing this?
14. Valmont: There is a woman, not Emilie, another woman. A woman I adore, and I’m afraid she’s insisting that I give you up. It’s beyond my control.
15. Tourvel: Liar! Liar!
16. Valmont: You’re quite right, I am a liar. It’s like your fidelity a fact of life no more or less irritating, certainly, beyond my control.
17. Tourvel: Stop it! Don’t keep saying that.
18. Valmont: Sorry, beyond my control. Why don’t you take another lover? Whatever you like, it’s beyond my control.
19. Tourvel: Do you want to kill me?
20. Valmont: Listen, you’ve given me great pleasure, but I simply cannot bring myself to regret leaving you. It’s the way of the world, quite beyond my control.
