Dancing with a partner. Wink to Philippe if you're bored with your partner. If you don't he'll call you on it anyway - and when he does, you must lie. "No I love dancing with my partner!"
Later, when a couple dancing has good complicité Philippe will turn off the music and name a couple to improvise a vaudeville scene.
Sophia and I had a great scene together as a couple fighting about everything and anything. We had a good game and had fun playing with the idea that nether of us new what was happening, or what either of us were talking about.
Vicky and I had a scene as well, and I started off by setting the premise that we are together, away from our real partners, finally. Philippe got me to pretend I had an erection, and to move as if I was trying to hide it. I played around with my legs, crossing my crotch etc, but didn't find anything spectacular.

Then we continued reading On Purge (Bébé). The couple fights more and more, and then an important man, Choullouix, enters who has arrived to see the husband's invention of a porcelain potty for the war. The husband assures him that they never break, but they break in every test. It's very funny!

Then Philippe 'hot-seated' a few guys to see if we could find the best cuckolded guy.
So I've heard your wife is a great actor.
That's right. She's marvellous.
And she has a scene partner at the moment, right?
Yes. He's very good. They're both very good.
Oh that's great. Do they rehearse a lot?
Oh yeah! All the time. They're really dedicated.
Do they rehearse at your house?
Oh yes, most nights. They have a lot of work to do.
And do you ever watch rehearsals?
Oh no. I don't want to disturb them. Their work is very important.
I understand. So what do you do whilst they rehearse?
I usually cook for them. They're always very hungry after rehearsals.
"He has to be cuckoo happy. Not sad."
"Not too much energetic."
Cheating: "With a women it's a tragedy. For a man it's a comedy."
Bernard Blier was the 'best cuckolded guy' actor:
"You need a face. Naïvety is good for a cuckold."
Philippe said some actors don't have the face to play the cuckold. For Duncan, he's a seducer, not a Cuckold. Same with Thomas (of course).
Rudolf Valentino - 'The Latin Lover' - the first seducer in silent films:
Apparently 100,000 fans lined the streets in New York for his funeral, and some even committed suicide on his grave.
Philippe said Ben and I are good at playing the uptight upperclass characters, so we shouldn't try for the cuckold. Okay then!
