"Not good enough for you - go watch the parade instead!" " It's raining." " You can come under my umbrella." "It feels odd, standing in such a crowd with a stranger." "You're as safe with me as with your own father." "We can't shoot in weather like this!" " I'm talking to you!" " Not bad!" "Let me pass, I want to see my sister." "It's a girlfriend."

" Now?" "Who are you?" " My name is Madelaine Célestin." " What's on your mind?" " I came to see my father..." " ...but he's already left." " Left?" "I saw him a few days ago." "He's gone on tour." "That's what they said at the theatre." " Wait for him, then." " I don't know anyone here." " What can I do about it?" " Nothing." "I'm sorry." " Why did you come to me?" " I thought you were a friend..." " Of your father's?" "I am." " No, not just my father's." " She spoke of me?" " Yes, and I thought that..." " Oh, this is pointless." " Come back tomorrow." "Perhaps I can help you." "Goodnight." "There was a young lady looking for you." "She's waited an hour." "She's gone now." "No need to worry." "Cordonne!" "How long does it take to open the door?" "Stop!" "Miss Célestin!" " Where are you going?" " Mind your own business." "Don't use that tone with me." "Picking up young girls in..." " ...the street." "Have you no shame?" " She said she had nowhere to go." "I know where my foot will go, if you don't disappear fast!" "Is this the kind of thanks one gets for trying to help?" "My umbrella, please." "He wasn't doing any harm." "I told him..." " What?" " That I had nowhere to sleep." " You can't say things like that!" " It's true!" "You don't tell the truth to just anybody." "Got any money?" " I've got two francs left." " You won't get far with that." "What are you going to do?" "Stand here in the rain and wait for your father?" "You've been in the bedroom and found a young girl." "She is a friend... that is, the daughter of a friend, that is..." " Why am I explaining this to you?" " No need." "She told me everything." " She's leaving immediately." " She's already packed and..." " ...waiting for you to get up." " Packed to go where?" "She's alone and completely naive." "I'm going to telegraph her dad, and until I get a reply... she's not going anywhere." "I'm holding you responsible." ""Send Madelaine home to Brie immediately." "Having great... success in Marseille, tour continues." "Signed, Célestin."" " Are you Célestin?" " Yes." "Your writing is atrocious." " I'm not going back to Brie." " Your father insists." "I order you to return in his name." "I'll leave here, but I'm staying in Paris." " To do what?" " Become an actress." "What makes you think you'd be any good?" "Even if you were... it's no proper calling for a young lady like you." " Mummy was an actress." " And see what happened to her... she married your father." "I'm sorry, that was unkind." " What role is that costume from?" " Some comedy." " Did you see it?" " We both acted in it." "When was that?" " Before she was married." " I grew up far from Paris." "She visited me sometimes..." "I always thought she was the most..." " ...beautiful of all women." " You were right." "If she were still alive, do you think she'd send me home?" " She'd give you advice, at least." " You gave me orders..." "I'd obey an order, if it came from my mother..." "Forget the orders, take my advice instead." "Put those down." "You don't know what Paris is like... the dangers..." "What dangers?" "Your mother should have told you ...it's not my job!" "You come here from the country..." "you know nothing of life... and you don't know men!" " Never believe anything they say." " Who?" "Men." "They say you're special, you've the only one..." "Why are you smiling?" "Where was I?" " But they're only after one thing." " What's that?" " Can't you play somewhere else?" " I haven't passed the hat yet." "Take this and leave us alone." "In Paris, when a pretty girl... goes out, danger awaits on every corner, every bus." " Why are you smiling?" " Do you think I'm pretty?" " I didn't say that." " You think I'm ugly!" "Not at all!" "I'm just trying to explain..." "I hope I'm not interrupting..." "May I sit down?" " My compliments." "She's young." " She's Célestin's daughter." "Are you in the theatre, like your dad?" " Not yet." " Why not?" "I need some girls for my show." "Come around tomorrow, and..." " Good evening!" " Going already?" " The young lady needs her sleep." " Congratulations, Clément." " She's working tomorrow." " I am?" "Shall I put your suits in the hall closet?" "Anywhere." "It's only for a few days." " Sleeping in here tonight?" " Yes, if they stop that music!" "Who do you think you are?" "Close the window." "Morning, monsieur Emile!" "Still going strong, eh?" " Congratulations!" " I want to see you inside, now." "Hey!" "The boss has a new one!" " Is it Spring?" " Mind your own business." " Well, what do you have to say?" " Nothing." "Good." "One word and you're fired!" "She's just a young girl, so I'm counting on you, lads." " Of course, boss." " And if you see anybody after... her - you will tell him to try some other girl." "Need anything, sweetheart?" "You need only call on me!" " I consider myself to be..." " Like a father to her!" "...to be responsible for her." "You should consider yourselves..." " Her brothers?" " Just as responsible as I am." "OK, boss!" " I just met a real beauty." " You spoke to her?" " I'll be busy tonight." " We're responsible for her, idiot!" "If you can't read, you should get another job!" ""Seriously disappointed by your disobedience, Madelaine." "Success obliges prolonged tour."" "What does it cost per word?" "Only five centimes?" "Put "great" success." " Can we start?" " I'm ready." " Camera rolling." " Action!" "All bets placed!" "Madelaine - come in." "You see your fiancé playing." ""What are you doing?" "Our future marriage depends on that money!"" ""Our child". "Couldn't be better." "I'm going to win." "Dealer..." " ...be kind to me!"" " Tragedy!" " Lost!" "Cut!" "Bravo, my dear!" "You're acting like a pro!" "Is this your first time?" "You should do well." "You have a perfect physique." "Some advice..." "Enter!" "Run!" "Have fun!" "Smile!" "Look at the sea!" "What a beautiful day!" "The sun is shining brightly!" "Don't wear yourself out." "There's not enough light." "I hope you can start again soon." "Those girls are delicious!" " Doesn't sea air make you tired?" " No, why?" "It's a joke." "This beach - all that's missing is the sun." "Do you burn?" "You must be careful with your beautiful skin." "He didn't notice that you were about to sit down." "Send it down a bit faster!" "Enter, Madelaine." "You're alone in the street." "Afraid." "You hear something!" "Raise the knife!" "He's taking all your money..." "It's night, windy... you're all alone..." "And it's freezing cold." "OK, that's enough." "It's too hot to work." "I hope I didn't hurt you with the knife..." " No, sir." " You needn't say "sir" to me." " Have you been acting long?" " Three weeks." "Tell me..." " Don't worry about it, boss." " He's done all his scenes." "Good night." "What's the matter?" "Are you ill?" "Bad news?" "Tell me..." "don't make me worry." " Nobody loves me." " Why do you say that?" " Nobody's interested in me." " Don't I do things for you?" "Maybe those who find you interesting don't show it." " I'm not pretty." " Pretty?" "You're ravishing!" "I know scads of girls... none of them are so lovely as you." " You're just saying that." " No." "It's just that I..." "Get some sleep." "I don't want you on the set with red eyes!" " Goodnight, sir." " Sir?" " I've always called you that." " True." "But it sounds funny." " How should I address you , then?" " I haven't thought about it." "You'll have to find a name for me." "Boss?" "Are we working tonight?" "Oh, tonight..." "I can't..." "I'm busy." "In fact, I think I'll take the day off as well." " Mr. Clément, have you a moment?" " Is it important?" " Yes." " We'll talk tomorrow." " Did I keep you waiting?" " Yes, but I can wait a bit more." "At your age, you should never wait." "Youth doesn't last forever!" " What do you think?" " About what?" " What's happening to the boss." " Have you noticed anything?" " No." " Me neither." "But I agree." " Paris is always lovely." " You wanted to stay: you have." " Thank to you." " You wanted to act: you have." " Thanks to you." " What's still missing?" " Nothing." " No!" "Someone who loves you." "A soluble problem." "See all those men?" "Pick one out and I'll go ask... him if he'll marry you." "Do you want the tall one with... the glasses?" "The fat one?" "Or the short one with the collar?" "You're making fun of me." "If you could choose, would you prefer a very rich man?" " I've never thought about it." " Very handsome?" " A man needn't be handsome." " Very young?" "Age is of no importance." "Another vermouth!" "Recognise that melody?" "We heard it the first time we were here." "I haven't forgotten." "Oh, I didn't see you!" "I'll leave if you don't like the music." "Who told you to stop?" "Go on!" " Good night... um..." " Still want to call me "sir"?" " No." " Then call me by name." "I'll have to get used to it..." "calling you..." "Emile." "It's not very nice, but it's the only name I've got." "I'll try." " Goodnight, Madelaine." " Goodnight, Emile." "I'm not sure we'll be finished by tomorrow morning, boss." " We will be." " It's already five o'clock!" "We can work all night if need be." "I'll stay with you." " It must have worked." " What?" " Nothing." " Yeah, it must have worked." " How's the fitting going?" " Terrible!" "I'll have to take in the bodice." " Monsieur Emile..." " Give a bonus to all personnel." " A half-month's salary?" " A whole month!" "Bad news, boss." "The leading man is ill." " Find somebody else." " I have." "Care to see him?" " Lad!" " Boss!" " I thought you'd never return!" " I decided not to be a general." "Try this on, and hurry." "If it doesn't fit, I have to go back... to the store before it closes." "Knock before you go in." " Who's there?" " Me." "Don't come in, a young man's changing his clothes in here." " Say hello, but don't peek." " Hello, sir!" " Hello, Miss..." "Mrs..." " Miss!" "And charming." " I have to work late tonight." " Shall I wait for you?" "I won't be finished before midnight." "Dine without me." " I hope you don't mind?" " A little." " That's just the right amount." " See you later." "Work hard!" " A rather good fit!" " How's your love life?" "Non-existent." "I've been in hospital for three weeks." " What about the nurses?" " Nuns!" " Didn't the lessons help?" " I tried on my first leave." "Everything was going fine." "Then she told me she was getting... married the very next day." "What could I say?" "Isn't it a miracle that we've met?" "You'll marry without love... or happiness... without that special love one only finds... once." "Don't wait!" "Take advantage of ephemeral youth!" "As the poet..." "Ronsard said. "Pluck the roses of life before they fade."" " Etc., etc." "Say anything!" " I didn't think of that angle." " I'll try it!" "I'm in Paris now." " And in uniform." " Tomorrow it'll be civvies." " No!" "Costume." "At eight o'clock." "Cheerio, boss." "All full up down here." "Upstairs, please." "Excuse me, is this the right bus for Monsouri Park?" " I don't believe so." " Good!" "That's not my destination." "I only asked so I could hear your voice." " You don't remember me?" " No." "Don't misunderstand." "I don't make a habit of addressing..." " ..." "ladies I don't know..." " Tickets please!" " Your destination?" " Place de l'Opéra." " Two for Place de l'Opéra." " Do you mind!" "Quiet." " He thought we were strangers." " Where have you seen me before?" "Some faces are unforgetable." "Really!" "Like yours." " You've never heard that before?" " Never." "Don't say any of those typical womanly phrases." "You're too unique for that." "When I'm alone in the desert at night, I'll remember these few..." " ...moments of happiness." " You're leaving tomorrow?" "Tomorrow morning." "I may never return." "That's army life." " Good luck." "I must go now." " Just one question..." "Why did you bring me here?" "Have you been here before?" "With somebody else?" "You're already in love." " No!" "I'm fond of him." " Typical." "But he loves you?" " I believe so." " And he's better than I am?" " That is, he's good-looking?" " No." " He's younger." " Oh, no!" " Aha!" "He's rich." " No." "Not young, handsome or rich..." "he wants to marry you?" " Perhaps." " Are you going to say yes?" " Perhaps." " We've been brought together... by a miracle." "You're about to marry without love or happiness." "Without that special kind of love one only finds once." "Don't wait!" "Take advantage of ephemeral youth. "Pluck the... roses of life before they fade." Ronsard said that." "The poet." " You're heard it all before." " No." " Has no one told you you're pretty?" " He told me once." "He?" "Ah, the old man..." "excuse me... your fiancé." " We're not engaged." " I hope you'll never be!" "The old ones have had their day..." "if you absolutely must marry..." " ...marry me!" " You're leaving tomorrow." "That's right." "The army." "Africa." "I almost forgot." "You make me forget everything!" " What time is it?" " How can you think of time..." " ...at a moment like this?" " I have to be home before 12:00." "The evening has just begun..." "life has just begun for us." " What's the matter?" " Someone stepped on my skirt." "Why don't you go home if you don't know how to dance?" "Don't let those kids bother you." "Look at him." "Old enough to be your father!" " It's late." " We'll ask someone." " Ask her." " What time is it?" "Time for me to go home to bed." "Nothing left to sell." " You see... it's late." " That's not what she said!" " What time is it?" " One, two, three... nine o'clock." "Now you can go home and go to bed!" "Each of these stands for a word:" "Think... of... me." "You can say a lot with three words." "For example:" "I..." "like... you." "I think you ought to call me Jack." "Don't you?" " Yes." " I can't just call you Miss..." " Call me Madelaine." " I knew you'd have a nice name." "Imagine being even more intimate." ""How are you, dear?"" ""Going to bed now, dear?" Imagine!" "It would be as if... we'd always said it." "Don't you agree, my dear?" "Pardon me... don't you agree?" "Wouldn't that be nice?" "First I said: "You're very pretty, Miss"." "A few hours later I can... say: "Do you love me, my dear?"" "Look." "The Eiffer tower's in my front garden." "We could have lived here for years without ever meeting." "You'd have been at Etoile, I'd have been at the Botanic Gardens." "Another day I'd be at Montrouge and you at Clichy Place." "We could have lived and died here without ever meeting." " You told me we'd already met." " I lied." "I thought you were... pretty." "I wanted to talk to you." "Are you angry?" " No." "Listen... it's midnight!" " You counted wrong." " I counted every stroke." " I didn't hear any." " You said it wasn't late." " I didn't want you to go." "I'll let you go if you promise to come back tomorrow." " You're gone then!" " I lied." " The army?" "Africa?" " Just to make you stay." " Is anything you said true?" " Are you coming back tomorrow?" " I'll find my own way home." " You will return?" "Madelaine!" "I'm not lying now." "I've never had a nicer evening." "Me neither." "You know what they mean." "Not in bed yet?" "I've been looking for a vase..." "all I could find is this." "If you like flowers, you should have bought a larger bunch!" "I only like small bouquets..." "May I have them in my room?" "Of course!" "I should have thought of it before." "Of what?" "...and these." "Send the vase and flowers, I'll take these now." " Is life beautiful?" " Life is beautiful!" "Put on the veil..." "they're waiting!" " You look happy this morning..." " Very happy!" "Boss..." "I'm in love." "I was really lucky." "Yesterday evening I met a girl." " I can't discribe her..." " Don't bother." "You're being..." " ...silly enough as it is." " Not at all!" "I was very forward." " Do I know her?" " No." "We met on the bus." "I took your advice, I fed her a story about the army, Africa..." " Not bad!" " We dined out, music, flattery..." "We went dancing, back to my place, admired the view..." " And later everything went well?" " No, there wasn't any later." " It was late, she had to go." " You let her go?" "It was just a first date." "She's a very nice girl." "And now you're in love." "You're incorrigible!" "We're meeting again tonight, so I'd like to go early." "Tonight don't waste your time looking at the scenery!" " I promise." " Try being a bit more forward!" "Princess!" "You are there." "She enters, dignified, indifferent..." "You show no interest in the explorer." "No!" "No!" "You're not supposed to be surprised!" "Be dignified." "Bow, Jack." "What's the matter with you?" "It's easy." "Enter... can't you leave that thing alone?" "!" " It won't sit right." " You stay here!" " Jack... come closer, look up." " It's you?" "Excellent surprise!" "But don't say "It's you", to the princess..." " ...admire her." "You're dreaming..." " Yes, I think I'm dreaming." " Me too." " No, not you!" "He's knocked you... but for you, he's just anybody." "You don't know who he is." "Places, everybody!" "Care to work a bit, lads?" "Servants, take you places!" "Greet the princess, go out." "Follow him, Madelaine!" "Not so fast!" "Don't say anything about last night." " Are you coming tonight?" " Seven o'clock, your place." " What's that supposed to mean?" " It means hands off!" " You mean the girl..." " Don't fool around with her." "You've had two warnings." "Orders from the Boss." " Ask him if you don't believe us." " I shall." " No kidding... he's in love." " Go on!" "She's been living at his place for a month." "I got you some flowers today, but I forgot to give you them." "Little bouquets..." "Do you need me on the set?" " Yes... no... in a while." " I'll be right there." "Leave the flowers here." "There's more at home." " You see, I do think of you." " Thank you." "Are you going now?" " Not yet." "Do you want to wait?" " How long will you be?" "Depends on how things go." "Maybe until ten or eleven." " What do you think, Jack?" " Nothing." " What do you mean, nothing?" " I mean, you never know." " I won't wait then." " You won't be bored by yourself?" " No." " Take care on the way home." "I know: dangerous men on every corner... you give good lessons!" " Good evening, sir." " Sir?" "Call him Jack." " Good evening, Jack." " Good evening, Miss." "Her name is Madelaine." "What do you think of her?" " Nothing." "I don't know her." " Well, you've met her now." " I've never seen her before." " What's your first impression?" " A pretty girl..." " You find her pretty?" " No!" "Not particularily..." " You don't think she's pretty?" " Yes, of course." " If you were to meet her..." " ...in the street, and ask her out..." " No!" "Why not?" "Because she seems honest, innocent..." " Yes, that's the word." " Because even without knowing..." " ...her, you know she's different." " She's different, all right." "Do you mind bringing this to her dressing room?" "For someone who doesn't know women, you judged right." "She's not like the rest!" " Anything the matter, Jack?" " No, everything's fine." " Need me for anything?" " These lads don't need anybody... not even me." "Go take a walk or something." "What about your date with the girl from yesterday?" " You asked if you could go early." " It doesn't matter." " Don't be stupid." "Try your luck!" " Luck." "That's the word." " Forget about it." " Where were you to meet her?" " We didn't say." " She might already be there." " I'm not going!" " You're not going?" "And later you'll say "I missed my chance, why didn't I go?"" " Get going!" " It's too late." "It's never too late." "Now get the hell out of here!" "The gentleman's in a hurry..." "he's keeping a lady waiting!" " She's surely waiting there." " I don't think so." "What a pessimist!" "I should come up and steal her from you." " I'm going up alone." " Don't worry." "I'm leaving... all the girls to you." "I'm all finished with women now." "Except for one... and she's just a girl." "You see..." "I'm in love too." "It's serious." "What are you waiting for?" "Fly!" "If I were your age..." " I'd be up there by now." " What about the cab?" "I'll walk." "I feel young and life is beautiful." "Isn't it?" " Yes, life is beautiful." " Don't waste a moment... see you!" "Wait!" "What will you do if she isn't there?" "You'll feel down." " No." " I know you." "If she's not there... come back down and we'll take a glass somewhere." "Cheer you up." " What if she's there?" " Wave to me from the window... and I'll disappear." "Go now, and good luck!" " You made me wait too long." " No!" "Please... stay." " Would you be sad if I left?" " Yes." "I don't want to make you sad." " You don't want to kiss me?" " Yes... no!" "I've found out everything." "Someone else loves you." "And he's my best friend." "We must never meet again." "Goodbye." " As you wish, Jask." "Farewell." " Don't go downstairs!" "Do you want me to stay or go?" "Don't show yourself!" "Emile has always been so kind." " To me as well." " Then we should tell him." "What could he do to us?" "I'll tell him everything." " Stay here!" " You said we should tell him." "Now is not the moment." "He's gone now." "Happy and confident." "Poor Emile." "You oughtn't get so upset." "You've messed up your hair..." "now you look terrible." "I never claimed to be handsome." "Do you have a comb?" "Where are we going tonight?" " You're going back to Emile's." " Later." " What will you tell him?" " The truth." "He has to find out someday." " Well, this style wasn't better." " If you don't like me as I am..." "I never said I didn't like you..." "You told me you were getting married." " I said maybe." " Were you referring to Emile?" " Yes." " Well?" "You arrived just in time." "I'd have married without love... without happiness." "Without that special love you only find once." "Those are your own words..." "Isn't it a miracle that we met yesterday?" "That's what you said." "You make me laugh." "You're just making yourself miserable." " Do you dislike me now?" " No." " You don't still find me pretty?" " Yes." "Do you still want to call me dear?" "Then do it." "There has to be a reason for doing it." "Now you have a reason." "Listen!" "Listen, DEAR." " I don't hear anything." " Nine o'clock..." " Last night you "missed" midnight." " Last night I didn't know." "You are heartless!" "OK, you are heartless, dear." " I'm not in love with him." " He mustn't be hurt!" "Yesterday you said "He's had his life, it's our turn now."" "I was just saying the usual stupid things men say to women." "You've already admitted that." "But I forgave you when you said..." " ...you'd never had a nicer time." " That was a lie too." "I've had... hundreds of nights like that, and there will be hundreds more." "Maybe tomorrow..." "with someone else!" " Slap me." " Go away." " Forgive me." " Speak no more of it." "Go home now." " I won't go." " I'll drive you there." "I'll drive you there with my foot!" " Can't you go any faster?" "!" " Can't do it, Guv." " I'm never speaking to you again." " That's all I ask." " Already home?" " I've been waiting two hours." " It's half-past nine." " You said you'd be back at ten." "You don't have to go out alone, just because I'm not here." "What makes you think I was alone?" " You're making me angry." " Be angry then." "You could let me know when you're going out." "I was worried." "You needn't have been." "No one made any advances." "Telegram from your dad." "He'll be in Paris tomorrow." "Think about what you should say to him about your future." "He might want you to return to Brie and live with him." "I don't know what I'm going to tell him yet." "I wish people wouldn't concern themselves with my affairs." " You needn't scream..." " I don't like eing treated... like a child." "Do this, do that, be nice, don't hurt anybody..." " ...no one cares if I get hurt!" " What's the matter?" "I want to enjoy my youth..." ""Pluck the roses of life..."" " Who taught you that?" " Ronsard, a poet." " I have to talk to you." " Quiet!" "Get up on the table." "I know I said I'd never forgive you..." "I've thought it over..." "I shall." " That's all?" " Yes." "Why attach yourself to me?" "I'm nothing special... no brains, no money." "Emile is intelligent and charming..." " ...and he loves you." " I know." "One thing you don't know." "I DON'T LIKE YOU!" "We warned you... now we're going to have to tell the boss." "Tell him what?" "Please, wait a moment." " I'll talk to him." " He wants to do it..." "Go then." "Mr. Duperrier is coming this morning." "Am I disturbing you?" "Are you ill?" " Something the matter?" " Nothing." " I need to talk to you." " No need." "I understand." "You've got problems too." "Love." "Your date last night didn't go as planned." " No." " It's discouraging!" " You'll never succeed with girls." " That's not the problem..." " You never take my advice." " I do." "Great results..." "You forgot the most important:" "never take a woman seriously." "Plenty of fish in the sea:" "Keep fishing till you find one you like." " Right?" " Right." "I might as well continue..." "the girl on the bus was the girl..." " ..." "last night." "Madelaine." " Which Madelaine?" "Madelaine." "Thank your lucky stars, Clément!" "You've heard of the Great Sultan?" "He is visiting Paris and wishes to see a film being made." "The Sultan, our President and several Ministers are visiting us." " What do you think?" " Very interesting..." "Can we discuss it later?" "I'm busy." " They're coming tomorrow!" " We'll discuss it later." " We mustn't waste time!" " That's right." "Excuse me..." "So it was Madelaine you met on the bus." "It's amusing..." " ..." "I didn't know who she was!" " And for her you were a stranger." "You joked around, she laughed..." "She went along to the restaurant." " She was just any girl..." " For her you were just any boy." " You went dancing?" " You know that already." "And later?" "Did you take her to your rooms?" " Can't hear a thing..." " He doesn't dare say it..." "He dared." " At your age!" " What do you mean, at my age?" " Punching people." " It's harder than you think... he ducked and I hit the window." " What if your dad isn't there?" " I'll wait." " What if he's going elsewhere?" " I'll go along." "He's my father..." " I'm all he's got." " He's never taken time for you." "Please mind your own business..." " I'm not putting you out..." " No." "I'm leaving." " I'm not reproaching you." " You haven't the right to, either." " I thought you were different..." " From other women?" "Just what you told me the men would say:" "You're different... unique..." " Goodbye, Emile." " Goodbye, Madelaine." " I'm sorry..." " You needn't be." "And thank you for..." "Kiss me goodbye." " It's all your fault." " My fault?" "If only you'd... you'd have been my father." "Oh no." "I'm not yet ready to play "pappa" to girls of your age." "They're not all like you." "They don't all wish I were their dad." "You see this wall..." "lot's of them were prettier than you." "And there's room for more!" "Pay no attention." "All men get like this when they're angry." "Mind your own business!" "Chin up, old boy, and remember..." "There's more than one fish in the sea!" "Monsieur Joseph!" "He said we'd discuss it later... but he has still not arrived!" "Where is he?" "Everything will be okay, Minister." "Will we be decorated here?" " Yes, in front of His Majesty." " It's some kind of necklace?" " Yes." "The Silver Crescent." " Hear that?" "And nothing's ready." "I don't think you'll be ready by tomorrow." "Please wait..." "I'll get things going." "Gentlemen!" "The dignitaries are on their way." "Please get to work!" " We take orders from Mr. Emile." " If you don't do as I say... you're fired." "I pay..." "and I give the orders." "He's still not here!" "Monsieur Joseph!" " Monsieur Joseph!" " That's you, idiot!" " Yes, that's me." " If they don't get going..." " I'll fire them all." " Fire them all!" " You too." " Me too!" " You're fired!" " You can't fire me." " Why not?" " Because I've already been fired." "Are you sleeping in the bedroom tonight?" "No, I'll sleep here." " What time do you want dinner?" " I'm going out for dinner." "Do you want my option?" "Bachelor life is fine for... the young." "You should have married long ago." "I don't want your opinion." " By now you'd have grown children..." " A girl like Madelaine, perhaps?" " Would you mind stopping that?" " I can't." "Paid in advance." "You've been playing that song for an hour." "Play something else!" "I can't!" "A drunken young man has paid me to play it all night." "Hallo!" "What's with you?" "Look at me." "Evenin' mate." "Did you have an accident?" "Don't you remember?" " Did you pay him to play this?" " Yes." "Reminds me of an evening..." " ... when all was well." " And tonight is so bad?" "You and your advice. "Don't take women seriously"..." "I've sacrificed..." " ... my happiness for you." " People are looking." "Let them look." "I'll tell them all that I love her." "Even you." "It doesn't matter." "I'm throwing myself in the Seine." " You are disgusting." "Goodbye." " Wait!" "Don't leave me here alone!" " You're kind, at any rate." " Don't let me see you drinking..." "You'll never see me again." "I've been fired." "That was a mistake." "Come back tomorrow if you feel better." "Now, go to sleep!" "It's over, let's not discuss it anymore." "You'll forget her..." "And so will I. Good night." "You're more than a boss or a friend to me... you're like a..." "Like a father." "I know." "There he is." "I told you it was worth waiting." "Just a minute more." "Dear old Emile!" "No one home at your place." "I've been waiting... down here for an hour." "But it's all right, I understand." "I didn't want to leave without saying goodbye and thanking you." " You're leaving?" "You just got here." " Work, you know." "As an artist..." "I have my duty to the public!" "Have you heard my new song?" "Poor Madelaine... you were too good for her." "You've been just like a..." " I know." " And what a responsibility!" "Protecting a young girl from the dangers of Parisian streets..." "I'm glad you're here to look after her..." " You're not taking her with you?" " I can't!" "The travelling..." " ...my work, my family life..." " You have a family?" " I will have." "I'm engaged." " Are you coming or not?" " Coming, my love." " That's who you're marrying?" "Charming, isn't she?" "She makes me feel like a kid again." "Poor sod!" "You can drive now!" "I'm not waiting any longer!" "I'm coming, Angel!" "She can't be a moment without me." "Take good care of Madelaine." "I've told her about this." " Goodbye!" " No, wait!" "Goodbye and thanks again!" " Why have you come back?" " Father sent me..." "Do you take orders from him?" "Don't know where to go, eh?" " Just like the first time we met." " Could I have a word with you?" "That's exactly what you said then." "I said, "Now?" "Who are you?"" "And I said "You don't know me." "I'm Madelaine Célestin."" "True." "I didn't know you then, but now I do." "Now as then..." " I ask "What's on your mind?"" " I don't know anymore." "If you'd left, I'd have been able to forget you, but now..." " What can I do?" " Do as you see fit." " If you still want to get married." " Me?" "Marry a child?" "Do you think I'm as stupid as your father?" "He's no father... you..." "Don't say it... everybody wants me to be their father." "That's right, I'm Mr. Duperrier, the owner of the Studios." "What a pleasant surprise!" "My life's greatest honour, sir." "Yes of course, Your Excellency." "Wait." " You don't like it?" " Mr. Duperrier doesn't like it." "Give it here then." "You never know when it might come in handy." "Don't be nervous." "The Sultan can't keep his eyes off of you!" " It means, "Is that girl for sale?"" " Goodness me!" "Not for sale!" "The light is good." "We can start." "Everyone else is ready." "Excellency, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen... we are about to shoot the final scene of "Oriental Passion"." "Ready?" "Roll 'em!" "You can do better than that!" "That's enough." "Come in, gentlemen!" "Cut!" "Thank you." "That's it!" "His Excellency says that such a lovely girl shouldn't die." "I agree, but some people think that great art should make... the public sad." "Take your places!" "Enter." "You see them holding hands." "First you show anger, because... you love her." "Frightened, she rushes to the window." "Suddenly... you realise you'll lose her, perhaps forever." " Just as well." " Come on!" "Do you want her..." " ...to be unhappy?" " My dignity requires it." "Dignity?" "You want these two youngsters to be unhappy?" " They offend my dignity." " So what?" "You're old, you've... had your day." "You have your memories." "They're young... it's their turn to be in love, to be happy." "You may suffer... but you're not the first." "It happens to everyone." " Why should you be an exception?" " It doesn't matter to me!" "If it doesn't matter, what are you arguing about?" " Ready, Gustav?" " When you are." "Begin the same way, but when she goes to the window..." " Do you like happy endings, Miss?" " Oh, yes!" "Me too." "THE END english subtitles extracted by .:" "Norgen (norgen@centrum.cz) :."
