:45:03
But what must I do?
:45:06
Everywhere the procedure is the same
:45:09
By her dress, attitude
and make-up...

:45:13
... the prostitute indicates
her trade

:45:15
Sometimes, in defiance of the law,
she appeals directly to the client

:45:22
What do I charge?
:45:24
From 300 to 15,000 francs...
:45:27
... for a meeting varying from
a few minutes to an hour

:45:32
The rate for a whole night ranges
from 5,000 to 50,000 francs

:45:38
Can I go anywhere I like?
:45:40
Controls have been attempted
:45:42
In Paris, for instance...
:45:44
... police regulation of 25th August,
1958, forbids loitering with intent...

:45:50
... at certain hours in the
Bois de Boulogne...

:45:56
... and around the Champs Elysées
:45:58
Do I keep all the money?
:46:01
A daily tax is agreed
:46:04
Around the Champs Elysées...
:46:07
... 20,000 to 30,000 francs a day
:46:09
Payable weekly
:46:14
Hotels usually change the towels,
not sheets

:46:19
Beds are often made just with
a lower sheet

:46:23
The police?
:46:25
They conduct raids, interrogations
:46:28
Anyone infringing regulations
is sent for medical tests

:46:38
Can I drink in a café?
:46:42
A drunken prostitute...
:46:43
... is a liability, undesirable
because she creates scenes

:46:49
If I'm pregnant?
:46:51
People think prostitutes
always have abortions

:46:55
That's not true
:46:57
They do try to avoid pregnancy,
by chemical or other means
