Plot
Ariane is upset one morning when Jean-Jacques, who she lives with, answers his portable phone and speaks to a woman. When she demands an explanation, he tells her the story. An old friend he met in a bar told him a sure way to arouse a woman's interest: you write a heartfelt note asking her to meet you alone in five minutes time. When Jean-Jacques tried it on a train, it worked. He next tried it in a bar with lisabeth, the one who had just rung him. Ariane decides he must get this out of his system and see this lisabeth once again, even if he sleeps with her.
So he agrees to go to a party that evening at lisabeth's palatial apartment. Before it begins she takes him to see her father, who is the President of the Republic. Jean-Jacques knows nobody at the party and when it ends lisabeth takes him to her bedroom, where she passes out. lisabeth's fianc then turns up, and Jean-Jacques is smuggled out by the sympathetic maid, Aneth. She takes him back to her apartment to sew up his trousers, which had been damaged, and a romantic night is about to begin when her male flatmate wakes up. Smuggled out, Jean-Jacques is arrested on the street and is only freed when lisabeth confirms his story.
On his way home, he sees Ariane. She says she went to a bar with a girlfriend and was passed a note. Rather full of mojitos, she went out to meet the man and told him off for his cheap misogynistic ploy. He took it very well, bought her some more drinks, and they went back to his apartment. When Jean-Jacques asks what they did, Ariane just says: The same thing as you.
