"You are ashamed?" "Yes." "Too late." "It is I who should be ashamed, it is so bad." "You understand, I hope." "We don't need you anymore." "Help!" "Call someone!" "What?" "Remove him!" "Go!" "Let me go!" "Don't touch me!" "I'll teach you to respect a soldier's woman!" "If you come back, I'll put my foot in your ass!" "Do you understand!" "?" "Francois!" "Francois!" "Francois!" "Marthe, come away from that window!" "You'll see, you'll thank me someday." "Did you hear?" "You asked, so obviously not." "It's later than the day before yesterday." "This time, I'm sure I heard." "Is that you, Francois?" "Francois!" "?" "You see, he's come back." "He's up." "No." "Let me." "It's the history of men." "Are you back?" "What are you doing here?" "I wanted to say goodnight." "Where were you since this morning?" "Hey?" "You don't look well." "I'm not sick!" "But you drank?" "Yes, I drank!" "Francois, one doesn't drink when one has an appointment with Martha." "Where do you find that?" "A letter came this morning." "I opened it." "I'm sorry." "Your mother was worried." ""At the dock at 10:00."" "You see for yourself that I'm not going!" "Something new has happened since that letter!" "She deceived me?" "How do you know that?" "Did she tell you that?" "Pff!" "It's the same thing." "She wants to see you." "I don't want to see her. it's finished." "You're free." "Be honest, you don't want to go there because you're afraid.." ".. that she didn't go." "Is that it?" "And if she was there anyway?" "No, I won't go!" "Good." "What makes you happy." "Let's go, give me that!" "You can stop nothing!" "Don't be a fool!" "Come with me." "The appointment was for 10:00." "Even if she had come, she would already have left." "I admit it's a slim chance." "Nevertheless, look." "He won, your old father." "She waited for an hour." "Then, you'll go?" "I'm so ready to go there." "Since you see again that she values you." "When a woman makes you unhappy, it's painful to talk about.."

"What are you doing here?" "I'm back at the hospital." "And me at the high school!" "We will meet again." "Surely." "Do you get out that this time?" "That depends on the day." "Getting caught again?" "That's ancient history." "Bye, Rene." "You're not coming?" "I'll get there." "Au revoir." "Get your paper!" "Get your paper!" "Paper!" "You run pretty fast." "I have big legs." "You ran after me?" "Yes." "Why?" "You must be annoyed with me." "Why annoyed?" "It's ancient history, but still..." "I didn't come to the appointment.." "..at the dock." "Oh!" "You make me feel better." "I was ashamed." "I didn't go either." "Ah!" "I hadn't thought about that." "Then all's well." "Yes, I think." "Evidently." "And are you happy?" "Yes, very." "Good, good, good." "We could..." "Can I see you home?" "Would that amuse you?" "Yes, I think." "Any good news?" "Always." "Shall I prepare meat patties for the next packet?" "Thank you." "You see, it's not very big." "Have a seat." "Do you like port?" "I don't." "Me neither." "But that means nothing." "Do you smoke?" " No thanks." "A service for port." "Wedding gift?" "Is it obvious?" "Yes, rather." "I have a lighter." "You know how to use that." "Is this the lounge you chose?" "You remember?" "Yes." "Me, I didn't like it at all." "I haven't changed my opinion." "Can I look in there?" "No!" "My room is a mess." "You should see mine!" "Is that what you call a mess?" "Yes, a little." "Don't look too much." "Do you recognize it?" "No, why?" "You chose it." "I wanted you to say, "Does it make you think about me?"" "Oh, Francois!" "It's just a little joke." "You're right, this isn't a laughing matter." "Farewell, Martha." "You're leaving already?" "It's getting a little late." "You're in a hurry?" "It's not that!" "It would be too beautiful to choose the bed and lie on it!" "Francois!" "Come back, I don't want you to leave me.." "..like that." "Martha..." "No, Francois, my mother is going to come." "Leave quickly." "Francois..." "Come tomorrow evening, I'll wait for you." "Until tomorrow." "What time are you leaving?" "About 6 in the morning." "It will still be dark." "Nobody's up at that time." "When will you be back?" "At day's end." "Can I come?" "You want to walk 30 km on foot?" "It's the cold veal he wants!" "Don't go to any trouble, mama." "Rene will bring it all." "You will eat this as well." "You know how I'll look with this?" "May I be excused?" "It's evil." "You'll have good weather." "6 hours from here, it will rise again." "Mama, I beg of you, no more cheese dishes!" "What is it?" "Is someone there?" "I'm sorry, I'm all wet." "Come, you'll catch cold." "I was nearly afraid you wouldn't come." "Only "nearly"?" "Yes, only." "Come." "Oh, check it out!" "It's an idea of genius!" "Don't keep your jacket on." "Give it to me." "It's wet." "It will dry." "It's cold." "Your fire has a funny odor." "It's olive tree wood." "Don't you like it?" "I guess." "I don't know." "My in-laws have a house close to Avignon." "Oh yes?" "Your shirt is also soaked." "I'm going to make you a grog." " What makes you laugh?" " Drink all of this quickly." "After this, I'll rub you." "Huh!" "It's necessary." "Go!" "I'm not sick." "I'll take care of you nevertheless." "The grog is good?" "Yes, do you want some?" "I never drink alcohol." "What is it?" "Eau de Cologne." "It's silly." "I'm no longer cold." "Let me do this," "No." "Obey me." "I don't like the maternal kind!" "Ouch!" "Did I hurt you?" "No." "Why do they say that cocks sing in the morning?" "It's not true, they sing all night long." "Yes." "I never heard it." "Liar." "I swear to you." "How do you expect me to believe you?" "Francois..." "I've never been so happy." "You already said that to somebody." "Be quiet." "I'll never forgive him for having you before me." "That didn't count, Francois." "This night, I saw that it counted." "He doesn't count." "Me, I know it well." "It is you that doesn't know it yet." "Evidently, you're ahead of me." "Oh, Francois!" "Now, I don't know anymore." "You believe me?" "One can never be sure." "Here, read this." "He knows I don't love him." "he blames me enough." "You don't think so?" "I cannot read his letters." "Don't look at me like that." "You're right, it's bad." "Why did you marry him?" "Why didn't you come to the dock?" "So you were there?" "Yes, Francois." "I waited for you more than an hour." "If you had come, I wouldn't have gotten married." "Listen..." "No, let me speak." "It's actually very good that you didn't come." "I regretted it for three months.." "Now I don't regret it anymore." "She knows well how to arrange things!" "Still you don't understand?" "Things arrange themselves." "If I had not gotten married, you would not be here." "I would be living again with my mother." "We would never have been able to see each other again." "I would've kidnapped you!" "Kidnapped to where?" "They would have caught up with us quickly and separated us." "They would have permanently separated us." "You're always right." "And you would not be in this bed that you chose." "Be quiet." "I knew it would be a fine day." "Me too." "What if that's you're husband?" "Oh, don't be silly." "He would kill us maybe." "Two rings is my mother." "Let's not move." "Maybe you want to die." "I don't think so." "But he would have every right." "You don't love me very much." "Why do you say that?" "He would have to kill us both." "Like that, we could stay together." "Without him." "No need to die." "What do you make of it?" "She slipped it under the door." "It's from him." "Make what you want of it." "You see it's all the same to me." "Me too." "You can read them." "Just don't tell me anything of it." "Ah, it's long, this one." "Be quiet!" "I want you to understand." "Enough!" "Read at least one of them." "Francois!" "We are rewarded to have opened it." "Permissions are suspended." "He's not coming!" "What permissions?" "You waited for him and didn't say anything?" "Francois..." "You deceive us both?" "In a few day, you would have lied to him about me." "It's too easy, war." "Why are you so mean?" "Don't ruin our first day of happiness." "It's so nice." "That's yours?" "On leave?" "What of the other?" "But I really believe this is the last." "You think so?" "This shit will finally end." "Won't go into '18." "You won't have time to go there!" "I'm going to ask 20F for a deposit." "It's the house policy." "Bon voyage!" "And watch out for submarines!" "You heard of that type of boat?" "The war will end soon." "Everybody says that now." "You don't have a heart." "You don't even think that we would be separated." "Is that the way it is?" "Completely." "It's not the end of the war that frightens me." "How calm you are." "Because I know what will happen for us." "Tell me." "You wil leave me, Francois." "Ha, ha..." "You're crazy." "Why do you want that I should leave you?" "I don't want it." "But I am too old for you." "Too old." "Much too old." "In ten years, you'll be young." "I will be old." "Then, I will only suffer." "If you leave me, I will die." "If you stay, it will be to please me." "I will be unhappy to see you sacrifice your happiness." "Most likely, I will be angry with you." "No, I won't be angry with you." "Are you asleep?" "And he sleeps!" "One is not able to be both of the day and the night." "Good evening!" "I apologize for being late." "Good evening, Mama." "Good evening, everyone." "You waited for me!" "It wasn't necessary." "What time is it anyway?" "8:36." "No, already?" "I am very sorry, then." "You had a good walk?" "Marvelous." "The forest is beautiful." "It's the best season." "The leaves are yellow and haven't fallen yet." "Where did you eat lunch?" "Uh.. shortly before Brunoy." "On a flat rock." "You had enough?" "Too much." "Rene brought everything." "Rene is good!" "Yes, he's kind." "He came here at 5:00." "He was surprised to learn about his walk with you!" " Good, you know as much as me." " Not as much as necessary." "This is not a laughing matter." "Don't forget that I sent you.." ".. for a retreat." "At my request." "The next time, you won't have to ask for it!" "Francois!" "Francois, don't be a fool!" "Come, eat dinner." "I felt that you were going to come." "I called you, Francois." "I waited for you, you know." "You wait for me with him?" "Don't read it." "It's a bad letter." ""The post orderly has just passed." ""Still nothing from you." ""If you didn't love me anymore, I would die from it." ""And here, you know, that would not be difficult."" "I don't know what to make of it anymore." "You don't every write to him anymore?" "It's impossible, Martha." "If he dies..." "Francois!" "it will be your fault." "I don't want that!" "But now, Francois...?" "Write to him immediately." "It will be necessary to lie to him some more." "I can't anymore." "But you can." "Let's go, come." "Sit down." "I can't." "I am going to dictate to you." "Kiss me first." "After." "What do you normally say?" "I don't know anymore, my love." "OK then." "Write this.." ""My love..."" "Alert!" "Alert!" "To the shelters!" "Hello?" "Hello?" "... Yes, this is it." "Who's that?" "Mme. Lacombe?" "Mme. Lacombe, do you know her?" "Who asks for her?" "Her husband." "He doesn't know she's dismissed?" "Oh!" "The high school student's history!" "What do I say?" "Go look for her mother." "One minute." "It's urgent, go." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Yes, don't be impatient!" "Here, take my place." "Hello?" "Is it you, Jacques?" "No, it's her mother." "Where are you?" "Nothing serious?" "Ah..." "Ah!" "No, she's not here." "No, don't worry." "It's just her day off." "Yes, I hear you, Jacques." " I guess the husband is here?" " No, he only telephones." "Thanks to God." "He doesn't make pain appear this way." "I'll be back in half an hour." "Don't go into full alert." "What are you doing instead of working?" "Oh, I'm looking for a word." "What word?" "Minor." "I found myself." "I wanted to know what are minors' rights." "Well, if I understood, minors don't have any rights." "No right in life." "Not you nor me." "Not even one to dance?" "There, we take it." "Oh, you have to rewind the machine completely." "You're right." "You're so eager to dance." "Wow, that's getting closer." "Alert, it's your mother." "She already knows... ..that you're always here in the evening." "Stay here, don't move." "Perfect!" "You allow all your windows to be lit... .. during an alert!" "Don't we notice you enough?" "And you dance on top of that!" "Don't tell me no." "We see you from the garden." "You don't bother to hide!" "I have to speak to both of you." "Come, Francois." "What do you want from me?" "Your husband will arrive this evening," "..at the station." "He wants to see you." "He asks you.." "..to go wait for him." "He knows everything that happens here." "I thank you." "I'll be there." "Are you crazy?" "It's Martha he wants to see." "She won't go alone." "If he is informed, he won't be surprised." "I forbid you to go there." "Who will stop me?" "Martha!" "Maybe it's better..." "No, it's decided." "The bastards who told him did us a favor." "Get out!" "You're not yet a man!" "I didn't think so either." "What time is it, this train?" "Well?" "!" "If necessary, I'll wait all night at the station." "Francois!" "Wait for me." "You're right." "It's better." "Don't go there!" "Martha..." "You're not going to show this boy.." "to your husband in front of his friends?" "Come on, Martha." "Don't leave during the alert!" "We don't care!" "Don't go there!" "He doesn't know anything." "She lies!" "It's true that you lie?" "No." "I have lied the whole time." "He knows nothing." "How do I believe you?" "Oh, believe me or not." "I know I'm telling the truth." "His voice was so happy on the telephone." "Why have you lied?" "I do what I can for him." "And for you." "You wanted to make me afraid." "Yes." "Of course." "Monster." "Aren't you ashamed?" "Let it be." "It's a pity that your mother lied." "She didn't lie about everything." "How's that?" "Jacques doesn't know anything." "His train is coming to the station.." "..this night, but we don't know when." "I'll go there." "I'll wait." "We'll wait." "Why?" "he knows nothing." "That's OK, he will know." "You really want to tell him?" "Yes." "Oh yes." "All the while when I believed that he knew," ".. I was relieved!" "I love you so." "We can't go back." "It has to become true." "He must be told." "You know to what you commit?" "To you." "Francois, my love!" "You do such extraordinary things." "I don't think so." "Then, you love me?" "Isn't this a big day?" "And you don't even know everything." "You have a secret?" "I could not have hidden it from you." "But I was afraid that you did'nt want to know." "Tonight, I know that want to know." "Listen." "Oh, Martha..." "Il rit." "Oh, Martha!" "And you are not even heavier!" "You didn't even tell me, selfish thing!" "Show me." "Where is it?" "Francois..." "I would never have believed someone could be so happy." "You know you can never again leave me." "That's not what makes me so happy." "You already think less of me." "You're silly.." "You'll laugh at me.." "...and say that I'm a petty peasant.." "...but I know God has rewarded our love.." "...and what we've done is not wrong." "You're not afraid for our youth?" "Hush!" "It'll be OK." "And our parents?" "Parents?" "But we are now." "Someone should have gone there." "I'm too happy to hurt him." "If you want to spare hum, turn out the lamp." "From the station, someone can see your house." "I'm always hungry." "Already?" "There have never been as many trains as tonight." "Yes." "I wonder where he'll go." "If he passes by, he won't go into a dangerous curve." "I'm not saying that." "I would like to know." "You'll get a letter." "Since you'll have his address, you'll have to write to him." "It's probably easier to write to tell him." "You think?" "Yes, I'm sure of it." "I will dictate that letter to you also." "You want to?" "Yes." "I know I'm the only one who should write it." "But alone, I never could." "Be careful." "Don't catch cold." "Come, Martha." "It's going to be daylight." "Now, it's over." "Yes." "It's very serious, what we've done." "Yes, I know." "He waited for me." "It's as if you'd gone there." "He understood." "Not all." "Oh, almost!" "Turn out the lamp." "Do it now!" "You see, he came." "I'm afraid." "What are we going to do?" "Calm down." "I'm going to speak to him." "No, hide yourself!" "No." "Since he wants to know.." "Let me, Martha." "Mme. Lacombe?" "Yes, it's here." "Why?" "A sergeant who passed through the station gave me this for her." "This is the place, yes." "Thank you." "I'll give it to her." "What's happened?" "Nothing, it's.." "It wasn't him." "Here." "What is it?" "You're pale like death." "It's passed." "It's over." "What does he say?" "Tomorrow in Bourges, he wants me to go see him." "Good, Martha, we'll go to Bourges." "Oh yes, I think that's necessary." "When do you want to go?" "As early as possible." "Tomorrow?" "The boat leaves at 11:00." "We'll have lunch in Paris." "The boat at 11:00." "Do you want some alcohol?" "No, why?" "I'm just thirsty." "Bye, Martha." "See you later." "You won't stay with me?" "No, I have to go see my father." "You're not going to tell him, are you?" "Why not?" "We're equals." "I'm a father too." "Francois?" "You love me?" "Is that you, Francois?" "Yes, it's me." "Did you find your error?" "No." "Otherwise, I would not be up so early." "It's given me an opportunity to see you." "They're not so numerous." "You'll notice that I don't ask you anything." "You're kind." "I don't know if I am." "..because, you see, it's out of interest." "I know that one day or another, I will need your confidence." "Do you have confidence in me, Francois?" "Yes." "And if you came to a decision.." "..would you speak to me?" "I don't know." "A pity." "Because you will surely arrive at some conclusion, Francois." "Go to sleep, my child, quickly." "And your suitcase?" "We're not going anymore." "You've changed your mind." "If I missed high school.." "..several days in succession, I'll be expelled." "My parents would send me elsewhere." "This journey is your idea." "I know, it's my mistake." "That night, I was.." "we were upset." "We decided too quickly." "I was obeying you." "Obey me again." "More now." "Your father advised you this way?" "But no!" "It's you who wants.." "...that I go there alone." "But you don't understand!" "No!" "You don't go either." "No one can wait anymore." "I must see my husband again." "Why?" "It's the only solution." "What will you tell him?" "I'm not going there to tell him!" "You love me?" "!" "Father noster!" "Gentlemen!" "I have wonderful news to tell you!" "The German diplomats left Berlin this morning.." "..to come and ask for the armistice." "Long live Barbapoux!" "Long live Barbapoux!" "No one can tell them anything serious." "Vive la Republique!" "Bah, hopefully this will be the last." "It doesn't change anything for them." "They will all soon come back." "Ah..." "Yes, it's true." "It's annoying for you, that." "Listen, I win there." "We can meet more often." "We'll see each other less." "If at all." "How so?" "It's possible I'll go away with her." "You can't run off.." "..with a woman expecting a baby?" "Why not?" "Listen." "Someone can take a man's wife, but not his child." "There, you would disgust me." "Can't someone.." "..take the man his child?" "No, it's disgusting." "I agree with you." "Bye, Rene" "Hey, you don't waste time!" "You really like flags!" "It's no use going." "There's no one there." "That means...?" "She took the train." "Don't insist." "She left." "We are celebrating the return of some and the departure of others." "No more fun!" "Where are you going?" "!" "I beg of you." "Don't be angry." "I'm very tired." "What are you doing here.." "..without me?" "!" "I'm going to my grandma's in Bretagne." "Did you not want to take me?" "Yes, I wanted to take you." "But you see I'm going there alone." "My child must be born there." "I don't know why." "Oh, but you know very well." "My husband will come for the birth." "Over there, no one.." ".. will be able to speak to him of you." "Your mother forced you?" "A little." "She was right." "But you could've told me." "We've spoken so often." "One of us always ended up crying or shouting." "I can't bear that anymore." "Wait for me, Francois." "I'll come back." "Yes, with your husband." "And you'll give him my child!" "We made it seem that this child.." "..was his." "Yes, I know." "I'd let you leave to join him one day." "But I can't.." "..imagine it." "I have to see, to touch." "I saw you carrying and I love it." "I don't want you to take it from me." "So often you told me the opposite." "You contradict yourself so much." "I'm not alone anymore, you understand?" "I can't be as weak as you." "You're right, Martha." "I am not a man." "Why are you a man when you hold me in your arms?" "Tickets, please." "I have no ticket." "It's true." "You don't think ahead." "Quimper also?" "No, Paris." "Thank you." "I knew that you would leave me." "I'm not leaving you." "IF you leave me.." "..I don't want to know." "Just leave me." "Tell me that you're leaving me so I can be well!" "Yes, I'm leaving you." "Since you want to be hurt.." "..I must help you to hurt." "I'm leaving you." "Are you happy?" "You could leave me?" "You know that I marked you." "I have two children." "Francois..." "It's Paris." "I hope Monsieur won't smell cork." "You recognized us?" "My Pommard 1905!" "..has not forgotten!" "I must confess to you," "..it was not corky." "Thank you!" "I knew it!" "Why did you make me think that?" "It's a secret between us two." "Give me another." "This is not good for you." "I don't feel very well." "Badly?" "I can call a taxi." "No, it's passing." "My in-laws can wait a little more." "It's a pity." "I like this place." "I won't ever come back here." "You'll come with your husband." "Francois, how can you say..." "Or with another man." "I will never deceive my husband." "How do you know?" "You don't understand why?" "No." "It's for you." "It's to you I remain faithful." "I wouldn't have thought that." "You know, that makes me happy." "Hmm.." "I wouldn't have believed it." "One day, I'll write a book about our history." "You forget quickly." "Exactly." "That will remind me of it." "Everyone will recognize me." "I'll change your name." "You'll tell all?" "Everything that I know." "Since you didn't quite tell me all." "I'll speak of your mother." "Don't say too much." "I promise nothing!" "You won't write anything at all." "You're too lazy." "It's you who've stopped me from working." "So then, it's all very well that I leave." "Evidently." "Did we make the right decision?" "Is this our farewell dinner?" "Yes." "Of course." "And will your book end this way?" "Oh no." "I don't know yet." "No, surely not with a dinner." "Then, you'll have to be inventive." "In a book, I could even kill myself." "Yes, that wouldn't be bad." "And how would you kill yourself?" "I don't know." "I'll have to see." "Off the top of the dock." "And if it were me that killed myself," "..the day I waited for you at the dock?" "That's much too early." "Would not have a history there." "And if I had come to the appointment at the dock," "I'd look at you from afar." "I wouldn't say anything to you... ..and I'd leave." "Oh, that's so good of you." "It makes no sense." "No more jokes, Francois, it's too sad." "You're right." "What time is your train for Quimper?" "My in-laws will tell me.." "You know what one does.." "..at a farewell dinner?" "Breaks a glass." "We'll take the bill now, please." "Do you not want to go?" "If you stay with me, I won't have any more pain." "That's mine." "You'll invite me next time." "There'll be a next time?" "You must go on now." "No, not yet." "There's another place I'd like to go." "You're not being reasonable." "What can I have that's very strong?" "Do you have more pink...?" "I'm overwhelmed." "Take a whiskey instead." "A whiskey?" "No," ".. this is crazy." "It's the last time." "You'll arrive sick at your in-laws." "Alas, no." "Doing well?" "Yes, I don't know why." "What time do you have to be home?" "I have no curfew." "They'll wait for me." "I'm going to call them as if I just left home." "That will give us until midnight." "12:15." "12:20." "This is it!" "The armistice is signed!" "The war is finished!" "Remember this date well!" "November 7, 1918." "You'll teach it to your children." "Drink!" "And here.." "it's over for us two." "We knew it was over." "Did we make the right decision?" "I don't know how to imagine it, but I must see it." "I saw." "Go make the call." "The telephone?" "It's over there!" "("It's a Long Way to Tipperary")" "I think we must make sure all the same." "Yes, I'll call the Ministry." "One moment." "There's someone in the booth." "What is it?" "Too much noise..." "You ended well?" "Didn't they hear the piano?" "I didn't call." "I don't want to leave you." "Oh, my darling, I love you." "Silence!" "Silence!" "Calm down!" "The armistice is not signed!" "Not signed!" "Where did you see that, you?" "In the newspaper." "If it's not today, it'll be.." "..tomorrow." "Another night of war," "..it's nothing!" "Francois, it's not passing, take me away." "Do you have much pain?" "Where do you want to go?" "It's not important where." "Oh!" "Hold me well, I'm going to fall." "I'm suffocating." "We must spread out, you see." "I don't know.." "If..." "I like it better." "Thank you." "Don't let me go." "I'm there." "Do something!" "I hurt." "Call an ambulance." "Yes, but where to?" "Call Mama at the hospital." "Don't leave her there." "Go to the phone." "I have her glass!" "That will do her good." "She doesn't need alcohol." "Then, to the health of the mother and father!" "Can you walk?" "Yes, I think.." "Then, you're fine." "Hold her." "Where is your suitcase?" "Go quickly!" "Oh no!" "Not you." "You've done enough to her." "Then you're not the father?" "She will hear other bells." "How so?" "When it will be the bells of armistice!" "If she gets there..." "Look, here he is again!" "No!" "After they threw him out 100 times?" "Some people really have no dignity at all." "Monsieur?" "Monsieur?" "A light, please?" "Thank you." "Here you are at last, Jacques!" "My poor little one." "She's not well at all." "Come quickly." "Francois!" "It's the name she chose for your child." "Oh, Francois..." "(Hymn)" "("The Singing Song of Departure")" "It's the first funeral of the peace." "Now, it's the women who will die." "Each has a turn." "Shut up!" "So hang your flags!"
