"She has big green eyes, but they don't make her really beautiful." "So see you soon." "A bientôt." "Look, Delphine... going to Jerusalem today is complicated... it's far away..." "Another day." "Why in the meantime don't you go to..." "To the Diaspora Museum?" "The Diaspora Museum!" "Yes... why not?" "The Diaspora Museum." "The Jewish history museum, here, in town" "Beit Hatfutzot." "You'll find everything you're looking for." "Photos, films all kinds of objects from'the camps." "Do they have Survivors' testimonies there?" "Of course!" "And they have material on the ghettoes?"

"Why?" "Why?" "Why?" "Why?" "Why?" "Why..." "Do you miss this?" "Stop." "Let's go." "I love the view from here even if it's not Paris." "Personally, I don't like Paris." "Did Emile tell you how we met?" "No." "We were both at a party in a Belgian girl's house in Montmartre, and there wasn't a single good-looking girl there, so we started talking." "We always say that if there had been even one good-looking girl there, we wouldn't have wasted our time talking." "You"ve reached fmiIe, fmiIe, fmiIe, fmiIe," "What's with him?" " Is the Diaspora Museum this way?" " 50 meters down there." "Come on." "Say, what's this bag?" " What?" " What, what?" "This is no bag." "It's a suitcase." "You carry your whole house with you?" "She doesn't understand a word you're saying." "What does he want?" "This goddamn security guy is making a fuss over your bag." "French." "French girl, eh?" "She came all the way from France." "You won't let her in?" "You can't go in to the museum with this kind of bag." "Does she look like a terrorist?" "!" "You can't go into the museum with this bag!" "This is absolutely ridiculous." "Listen, could you do us a favor and keep her bag here?" "Does this look like a bag check?" "!" "In 15 minutes we'll be out and we'll take it." "Okay, but 15 minutes." "What did he say?" "He said that your bag is a real suitcase." "You can't take it in." "But he'll keep it for you until we leave." "What is this?" "These are pictures of Jews." "Take a good look." "You might find a girl who looks like your mother." "My mother is not Jewish." "Me neither." "I'm not even a half-Jew like Emile." "My grandfather was a high-ranking official in the Petain government." "What, the Vichy government?" "Cool grandpa..." "What?" "Nothing." "I said:" ""cool grandpa..."" "Come, let's try and find the Shoah section." "This is the great synagogue of Lithuania, which after the war turned into the greatest film theater in the country." "They show kung-fu films there." ""Here is your money, now please release the captive"" ""Here he is but before you take him away," ""l'd like to ask you a question:" ""This slave you just bo,ught, is a sick old man" ""You could have bought a healthy, young male slave."" ""He's a Jew!"" ""So he's a Jew, so what?"" ""Although we have been exiled and dispersed over many countries," ""we Jews still feel that we are one nation !" ""We're all responsible for each other." ""That's rather an expensive habit!" ""All that money for an old slave" ""just because he happens to believe in the same god you do?" "!"" ""He's not just any old slave!" "This is rabbi Houshiel..." ""Liberating a man of wisdom is an important command..."" "This is a bit foolish." ""His brethren must collect money and liberate him!"" "Samuel YossefAgnon." "Isaac Bashevis Singer."

"Ask her where's the section on the Shoah." "Excuse me!" "Where's the Holocaust stuff?" "Look, we actually don't have Holocaust here this museum is more "Revival" than "Destruction"." "Don't you have any thing from the destruction?" "Films?" "A memorial wall?" "Anything?" "At the end ofthe h, all before the exit there's a big memorial for all the Jews who died throughout the ages, with a special emphasis on the Holocaust martyrs." "So, if that helps you, Fantastic." "What did she say?" "She said that at the end of the hall there's an enormous monument in memory ofthe Holocaust victims." "Let's go, then." "Maybe we should go down a floor and see it properly." "Let's go down another floor, and take it all in." "That's Adolf Hitler..." "All this is ridiculous." "It means nothing." "Hold on a second." "Where are you going?" "I'm going to "Yad Vashem"." "You're not going to any "Yad Vashem"!" "What's up with you?" "!" "Stop!" "You're not going !" "Do you hear me?" "Everything's closed now anyway..." "Go on!" "Go." "Leave..." " Why do you come meddling here?" "!" " Shut up!" "You'll get lost and Emile will blame me!" "I want everybody to step 10 meters back!" "Come on, step 10 meters back!" "You too, get moving!" "Move back!" "Why are you standing there?" "10 meters back!" "You too." "10 meters back, everyone." "I said now!" "Move, everybody!" "It's my bag." "It's my bag!" "You're fucked-up!" "How could you let her open the bag?" "If she was Arab, we would all have been blown up and dead!" "Who made you a policewoman?" "!" " But..." " Shut up, retarded!" "Who are you?" "Hey, I'm talking to you." "Who are you?" "Stop." "Leave her alone!" "Feeling better?" "Have you seen people dancing on the beach?" "No." "The sea, the sea..." "Do I look funny?" "No." "Just water." "Emile told me a lot about you..." "He had so many stories... your travels in the south, the trip to Berlin..." "He planned to come and visit you here a thousand times." "He was so curious, after everything you had told him..." "And every time he spoke, I imagined you differently... more... lt's true I was more gentle once." "It's not easy being gentle here." "After we left the Belgian girl's house when there were no pretty girls we went straight to his place, and we talked and talked all night long." "The first birds ofthe morning were singing when I left." "And I didn't take his phone number or leave him mine..." "Here?" "It's a nice story." "Has he told it to you?" "3 months later, we met by chance on a street corner, and continued our conversation exactly where it had stopped..." "That same night, we went to the movies and the following day as well... I know he really loved you." "His love can be so strong." "The sea calms me down." "The Mediterranean." "You hear?" "Hear what?" "There's nothing here." "Oh yes, I hear it... lt's Mendelssohn." "Are you crying?" "Never." "It's coming from the lifeguard's shack." "Mendelssohn, get out of the water!" "Hey you in the red with the little girl, get your ass over to the other side!" "It's for us." "I'm calling him." "Don't call him." "I have to." "Don't call." "He won't answer." "He doesn't have his cell phone." "He's in the south." "He's been there for three months." "He's depressed." "He doesn't say anything." "He doesn't talk to anyone." "I call him every week, and leave him a message." "I don't even know if he listens to them." "He says that he sees everything through a dull glass, that he hears a faint murmur that he doesn't understand anything and that he doesn't care." "The psychiatrist said that the city was bad for him, that he had to go to the country, that he may commit suicide." "So his parents put him in a hospital in the south." "I wanted to tell you all this when we met, but I couldn't." "That's impossible..." "Yes..." "When he talked about the dull glass, the doctor gave him anti-depressants." "He said he must go to the country, and forbid him to watch films by Antonioni." "Why didn't you call me when this started?" "You knew who I was." "He talked to you about me!" "I don't understand." "When I spoke to him, I didn't notice anything." "I didn't hear anything in his voice..." "Lately I didn't call him." "I felt I had nothing to tell him." "I wasn't doing anything." "A month before it happened he stopped playing." "He didn't touch his violin and no one noticed anything'g." "Not even me... lf l had spoken to him even once, I would have felt... I'd have come right away..." "You can't understand what happened in Paris... lt was a friendship stronger than love..." "Two years..." "Those were the most beautiful years of my life... lt was hard sometimes but I never lived like I did th'en... I felt every passing moment... I felt that I thought, that I existed, that I was alive... I came back... and it was over... and it can never happen again." "It doesn't exist anymore..." "Emile is the best friend I've ever had." "I'll never have a friend like him again." "Everybody's looking at us." "Delphine..." "You're sublime grandiose, enchant'ing, you evoke passion and desire." "What did you say?" " Come." "Let's go." " Stay, stay." "I want to go with you to "Yad Vashem"." "We'll get up early tomorrow morning and we'll go." "Let's go." "Everybody is watching." "Let's go." "Let's go." "Let's go." "Let's go." "Let's go." "Let's go." "Let's go." "Subtitling by C.M.C." " Paris"
