ARE THEY PROSTITUES?
Their morale is questionable. Anyway MUST SEE.

No.
No, they're not.

share...and, presumably, moralS. Their morale seems pretty high to me!
But prostitutes, no.
Any as far as their morals being questionable - that's one of the points of the film, as explicitly stated in the first scene when Marie 2 is acting like a doll...she says, (paraphrase) "The whole world is spoiled, so why not be spoiled too". I don't know if the translation is exact, but what I glean from that is they want to see how it works out living and doing whatever they want regardless of others and their opinions. So I think examining morals in general is one of the points of Daisies.

And your dog refused to look at it..."
I wouldn't say that they are formal or official prostitutes, in that there is never (that we can see; with this movie who knows) direct exchange of money for sex. It's clear that they are willing to date (and put out for?) older men they don't really care for in exchange for free dinner, drink, and dancing. This is the sort of unofficial whoring with which we are all familiar, and which seems, for reasons not clear, more socially acceptable than honest whoring.
I disagree with you, but I'm pretty sure you're not Hitler.

The men the two girls con dinners off are in the city on business and are packed off on the last train home. For the men the chance of a quid pro quo evaporates and for the girls the risk is minimal. Beneath the surface, however, these encounters carry both symbolism and satire.
More problematic, to my mind, is when one Marie goes alone to the home of the butterfly collector. He claims to love her and, although she is naked, has not got his kit off yet. The outcome, as much else in the film, is uncertain. Any views?
