"You can rest while I'm working." "I'm called Camille." "I'm Joëlle." "Can you feel the connection?" "This'll be a nice scene for them." "What scene?" "The two of us on our terrace... with the night falling." "What are they waiting for?" "Who?" "The creeps... and perverts." "There's no-one." "This place is completely deserted." "Wherever there are two girls on a terrace, there's a guy watching." "Look." "Watch how I do it." "Up there on the left." "See the open window?" "Yes." "Can you feel his eyes on you?" "I don't know." "Can you feel things speeding up?" "It's exciting." "Right, I'm going to get something to eat." "No!" "Shit!" "Fuck!" "Shit!" "What the fuck is this?" "What happened?" "A short-circuit?" "How did you do that?" "Were you fingering the socket?" "Getting your fingers everywhere." "Where are the guys?" "What guys?" "Have you seen any?" "There are always guys." "Oh, my God!" "What do you think you're doing?" "Listen, girls..." "Let's get things straight." "I have to lay down certain conditions." " Why are we in a bed?" " Don't you like beds?" "Boys have something hard in their pants." "We're both virgins." "I'm working illicitly." "I don't want to get caught." " Shut it." " What?" "Keep your mouth tight shut." " Get it out." " Get your hands off!" "Be polite!" "Or you'll get another." "He can't believe it!" "His first slap." " Listen girls..." " Short-circuit!" " What?" "Where?" " There!" "Is it going to explode?" "Forget the explosion." "Try to get into it." "Just don't move." "Stay between us." "Listen, girls..." "It's Saturday." "We're going dancing." "But it's not Saturday." "With me, it's always Saturday." "I've got my cap on." "I can hear accordions." "Can you afford champagne?" "Check my pockets." "You'll see." "Why are you suddenly being nice?" "Earlier, you didn't want us to touch you." "You've changed your tune." "You've got all friendly." "What are you planning?" "Maybe he's in love." "It's just hit him." "Are you in love?" "That's good." "So are we." "Since we set eyes on you." "Isn't that right, Camille?" "We love you." "We don't even know his name." "I'm called François." "I've been watching you for weeks, walking your seagulls." "Really?" "And?" "Guess." "You'd do anything for me?" "Everything I've got is for you now." "You're in charge." "I'm not into this love thing." "I don't want it." "Who is this guy?" "Go and dance with my friend." "Go on!" " I want to dance with you." " I don't dance!" "I'm sick!" "I've got stomach ache." "Dance with my friend." "Thanks for the enthusiasm." "Let me get used to the idea." "Right." "Go ahead." "What's up?" "Don't you like her?" "It's not that..." "Can't you see she's sad?" "Warm her up a bit!" "Make her feel special." "That's what she needs." "Look!" "She's so into it." "Let her feel your love." "Get in there." "Get close to her." "What is it with brides these days?" "What have they done?" "Forget about that!" "She could just be wearing the dress." "What about your painter?" "What about him?" "He's clearing off." "Come on!" "Don't run." "It's bad for your breasts." "We can't be chasing men at our age." "We're too young and cute." "Wait, girls!" "Wait for me!" "There you are, my love." "I was scared." " Do you like classical music?" " Yes." "That's good." "I'll play some." "Pure." "Very classical." "Men usually slap me." "But you're going to be nice." "I can feel it." "Do you mind if I watch?" "She wants to see how it's done." "I'm really interested in sex." "You know, it's not all it's cracked up to be." "Don't start looking for a way out." "You're due on stage." "The audience is waiting to applaud." "See?" "It happens naturally." "I like guys that moonlight." "They have better availability." "My best time was with an unemployed guy." "We did it all day." "He was called Jim Pascal." "He was a guitarist." "You have to be careful." "Tears aren't always tears of joy." "What's happened?" "Is he ill?" "Let's get out of here!" "Maybe he's ill." "His eyes have gone dead." "They're all like that when they come." " Did I make him come?" " Let's go." "I've just swiped his money." "You're a pain." "I was happy with him." "Then stay with him!" "Give him your youth!" "Order a pram." "Wait, girls!" "Wait for me!" "Wait for me!" "What do you want?" "To say thanks." "For what?" "For love." "Love..." "You're very welcome." "Can I come with you?" "It's dangerous." "We can't take any guys." "But if we make it, I'll be back." "Promise." "We'll have a kid." "He'll have your eyes." "OK..." "I still haven't eaten." "Can you feel the danger?" "What danger?" "You know - the night..." "and we're completely defenceless." "Look." "There's a car outside your place." "Nothing to do with me." "I'm afraid it's for me." "Stay here." "I'll take a look." "Where's your friend?" "What friend?" "So you're all alone?" "Yes." "I'm alone." "Want some fun?" "I don't have time." "I have to revise." "I failed my exams." "My life's been a nightmare." "Right now, for example," "I'm pissing razor blades." "A right dose of clap." "Where's your friend?" "What friend?" "The little fat one, with the big mouth." "She looks good and fertile." " Are you talking about my friend?" " Yes." "I'm a night watchman." "I do surveillance." "My daughter's your age." "Know what I do to her?" "I look after her pussycat." "She calls me "Daddy Tongue"."

"Crash into that pancake house!" "Where are we going now?" "We're on the road now, darling." "Do you hear the synthesizers?" "What synthesizers?" "There are synthesizers on the road." "You silly bitch!" "My exams!" "How am I going to take them?" "Can you hear them now?" "Yes." "Are you going to Clermont?" "It's getting cold." "We're tired." "Will you take us?" "You look nice." "We could make a little effort for you." "Get off my lorry." "What?" " What's that?" " Get off my lorry." "Don't you like us?" "Will you get off or not?" "What a dickhead!" "The fellowship of the road?" "Heard of it?" "Let's see your arms." "Show him your arms." " What about them?" " Just let him see them." "You should be a cop, not a trucker." "Sorry girls, but I've got a wife and kids." "My feet hurt." "So do mine." "Have you ever taken a town?" "What?" "A town..." "Everyone's sleeping..." "and here we are." "Get the picture?" "All the guys sleeping..." "It's like their dream." "What are those lights?" "What lights?" "The lights shining there." "Can't you see?" " Let's go towards them." " What if it's a trap?" "When I'm drawn to something, I don't care about danger." " Are the lights for us?" " Who else would they be for?" "Look at that." "Look!" "Look!" "Look!" "Do you like that, girls?" " Are you shooting a film?" " Yes." "Why is no-one here?" "They're eating." "They'll be back in fifteen minutes." "Do you fancy some soup?" "Do you want soup?" "Some good hot soup with the team?"

"You fucking whore!" "Slut!" "Extras!" "Extras!" "Watch your costumes!" "Watch your costumes, please!" "Will you shut up now?" "What the fuck is this?" "I'm the director here." "I could leave this town at any moment and finish this film elsewhere." "The hotels owners would be furious." "What idiot brought this girl in?" "How could I have known?" "What did you do to them?" "Marc-Antoine started it." "It was Marc-Antoine's idea." "Who's Marc-Antoine?" "Is there a fucker here called Marc-Antoine?" "I was a young doctor back then and I was looking for a way of getting ahead." "For 2 days, the place had been overrun by a serious case of clap." "I was interested." "Who's next?" "My cock was on fire." "I couldn't walk." " Tell me about the bride." " What?" " Wasn't it a bride?" " It's a secret." "Everyone knows." "Tell me about it." " Like what?" " Everything." "Where was she from, what was she called." "She was just passing through." "She travels a lot." "She likes to keep moving." "You wouldn't believe what she said." "She wanted to stay with me." "She wouldn't leave me." "A brunette." "With dark skin." "And beauty spots." "She's... the sort of girl... you can get lost in." "Who says..." ""Don't go." ""Stay a while."" "And then... squeezes you in her thighs." "I want a clue, to help me find her." " Why?" " To treat her!" "We can't just let her run wild." "I represent Pronuptia in this town." "I was in my shop." "I'd just opened up." "It was 9 am." "I was about to drink my first coffee when this girl wandered up." "Describe her." "She came from the left, from the Clermont side." "She was shivering outside my window." "She came inside and asked to try on a low-cut white dress." "Do you want me to try it?" "She looked completely lost." "Her underclothes were in tatters." ""Of course", I said." ""Try what you like."" "Her eyes filled with gratitude as she looked at me." " Will you give me one?" " One what?" "A dress, stupid." "Owning one is my dream." "Of course I'll give you one." "And I'll give you love." "All the love a woman can give a man." "She was in my arms." ""Let's shut the shop", I said." "You shut the shop and I'll open mine." "I've got nice things in my boutique." "You'll see." "When I put the shutters up, she wouldn't go." ""Marry me", she said." ""I'm dressed for it."" ""Get a priest."" "I'll do what you want." "I'll do anything!" "Do you hear me?" "I'll run the shop." "You can go out and screw around." "I'll just wait at home for you." "I won't say anything." "I swear." "I threw her out." " With the dress?" " Yes." " Which way did she go?" " South." "To the sea." "The doctor, at the wheel." "Top speed." "On a bend, he sees a bride with her thumb out." ""I need a girl to marry", he said." ""A nice, straightforward girl."" ""I'm the one you want", she said," "getting in next to him." "Good for marrying and fucking." "Nice and pliant." "Is that called a flashback?" "Call it what you like." "I call it happiness." "He was Marc-Antoine." "He was great." "Lorry!" "What are your lights doing there?" " I went right into them!" " Are you Dr Warm?" "This way." "Watch your head." "Let go of my arm." "Leave me with her." "I feel bad, Marco." "I was sick." "I've got bad symptoms." "We all have symptoms." "People keep hitting me." "Now they're trying to strangle me." "It's going to end badly." "I said not to come back." " Have you lost weight?" " No." " Does that hurt?" " No." "Are you coughing?" "I'll do what you want." "Have you got the shits?" " Do you want me to?" " Answer, damn it!" "This is serious now." "How are you doing?" "Do you really have kids?" " Tell me about them." " Forget them." "Don't go, Marco." "I'm not jealous." "I'm just interested." "Marco!" "Is it serious?" "I gave her a sedative." "Why did you trip me?" "You don't look like a nice doctor." "You look horrible." "Are you the one fucking everything up?" "No, that's my friend." "I need to revise." "I want to go home!" "I'm the producer." "Are you a big producer?" "Very big." "Don't be silly, Joëlle." "Sign first." "Most people trust me." "Or I wouldn't be a producer." "Do I take my pants off?" "Say that again." " Do I take my pants off?" " Again." " Do I take my pants off?" " It's your face I like." "My face?" "Has he done you already?" "We're going to makeup." "What for?" "Buy a paper and read all about it." "No-one likes my sorry face." "Or my ass." "Wanna know what happened?" "No thanks." "It's too much for me." "Silly bitch." "Around here, people don't get sick, doctor." "Either they drop dead or they don't die." "No doctor has made a living in our town." "What if I bring a disease?" "That's not such a stupid idea." "Prepare yourself for a surprise." "A little incubator." "An epidemic of this could mean big money." "I woke up," "I went for a piss." "Then what did I smell?" "A burning..." ""Albert", I said to my husband." ""What were you up to while I was in Reims?"" "When she went, we were heartbroken." "We were in love." "I slept with father and son alike." "I went with people of every class." "I had straw in my hair." "My thighs were tanned by the sun." "My ears were constantly damp from kisses." "He came to visit round lunchtime." "I sat him down and sucked his cock." "He dropped off and dribbled a bit." "You shagged everyone:" "old, young, rich, poor." "Anyone with a hard-on." "Will you screw me?" "When I'm rich." "There." "Good lord!" "This is a nasty business." "I don't think so." "What's nasty about it?" "You'd have to be nasty yourself to find it nasty." "When you get up and look in the mirror, you're nasty." "Your wife's nasty." "I haven't seen your flat, but it must be nasty." "When you go out, even when the sun's shining, it looks grey to you." "Of course it does." "You're old." "You're going to die." "You're going to die too." "Why do you say that?" "I love you, Joëlle." "I love you, but why say I'm going to die?" " You have to leave town." " Leave?" "Why?" "I'll join you after it's over." "What's he talking about?" "I've got a car ready downstairs." "A doctor will meet you in St-Raphaël." "He'll take care of you." "I like you breasts." "Your child's laugh." " I'll give you everything." " Marc-Antoine!" "Marc-Antoine's a pimp." "He'll be hanged." "They'll shave your head." "You'll be stoned!" "Marc-Antoine!" "Where are you taking me?" "Hey?" "Where are you taking me?" "Say something!" "I'm saving your life." "I'm taking you home." "I haven't got one." "The road's your home." "Thumb a lift!" " Are you going to leave me?" " You just killed a man." " Can I have some money?" " I haven't got any." "What about my royalties?" "My royalties?" "Cut." "People aren't that stupid." "Who's going to believe that?" "That's my life." "It's not my fault if it's shit." "Some shit smells good and some shit stinks." "She can get that makeup off." "What does the producer think?" "He thought I was good." "Go home, darling." "The cinema's not for you." "You've got enough problems." "Camille..." "Camille..." "She's gone, the bitch." "I had a friend, then she went." "I had a good friend..." "And then..." "Camera!" "Distress with tears. 210, take 1." "Action." "I had a good friend, and then she went." "No, I didn't." "Here I am." "Did you think I'd leave you in the shit?" "No, but I was scared." "Do you want to meet my friend?" " What does he do?" " He's a doctor." "You'll see, he's great." "Marc-Antoine!" "Wake up!" "It's me, Joëlle!" "He's not answering." "Is this the right house?" " Isn't this a doctor's house?" " No idea." "Get up, Marc-Antoine!" "It's me, Joëlle," "Your childhood sweetheart!" "I'm not here." "I'm at the clinic." "What did he say there?" "That he's not here." "He's at the clinic." " So what do we do?" " Go to the clinic." "You think?" "I said I'm at the clinic." "So go to the clinic." "Do you recognize me at least?" "Of course I recognize you." "I might be a fool, but there are limits." "Let's go." "Girls like you make things like this happen." "How do you know we're "like that"?" "Girls like what, anyway?" "Leave them alone." "Can't you see they're upset?" "They're shouting at us!" " Why?" " It wasn't them!" " Then why are they here?" " I don't know!" "I don't know, Mum!" "Let's go." " What are you doing?" " What's happening?" "Why is everyone so sad here?" "You really want to know?" " No, it doesn't matter." " I can tell you." "No, really." "I had a lover." "He was so beautiful." "Dad?" "Come quickly." "I need protection." "I got involved in some heavy stuff." "Hello?" "Dad, help me!" "Why isn't he answering?" "I speak and he doesn't answer." "Give it to me." "I'll win him over." "Hello?" "I'm a friend of Camille's." "Joëlle." "He hung up." "What a dick!" "Hello?" "He could at least have said hello." "I'd like to have spoken to him." "I never had a dad." "Marc-Antoine!" "Leave your bitch up there!" "Come down Dr Warm." "He's fucking up there, the bastard." "Don't be silly, Joëlle." "Don't be silly." "That's my house." "I can smash my own house up!" "We want royalties, you pimp!" "What are the kids doing?" "The kids!" "The kids!" "The kids!" "What is it?" "My friend doesn't feel well." "We need a doctor." "He's at the clinic." ""He's at the clinic."" "We know that." "We just saw him there." "Then why did you come here?" "Desperation." "To see your pretty face." "We hears you have lovely kids with blond hair." "Where are they?" " Leave them." " We're getting annoyed." "They're not frightened." "The little darlings like it." "My fingers stink." "My pussy's rotten." "What about yours?" "Marc-Antoine!" "Marc-Antoine isn't here." "He's at the clinic." "You wouldn't be kidding us, Marc-Antoine?" "You're really at the clinic." "Not in a wardrobe?" "Oh, my love." "Joëlle!" "Joëlle!" "Where's she got to?" "Joëlle?" "How do you feel?" " You know what'd be nice?" " No." "What would be nice?" "Getting a cleaning lady." "I never get out of the house." "She's talking to Marc-Antoine." "I'd like to finish my studies." "Keep hold of her." "I'll call the clinic." " Have you got her?" " Yes!" "Stop fooling now, Joëlle." "We need to get out of here." " Am I already dead?" " You're just a bit tired." "Why am I so light?" "Let me go!" "People are waiting for me!" "Madam!" "Madam!" "I'm looking for... my daughter." "I'm looking for my daughter." "I'm here..." "I'm here for my daughter." "I'm here for my daughter." "You came for your daughter." "My daughter." "What daughter?" "What's here name?" "We've got lots." "Camille Pelveau." "I'm sure she's here." "She called me." "She called for help." "You don't need this." "I can tell you in advance." "You just need to feel the ganglions." "Why is he here?" "No idea." "He's following me." " I'm here for my daughter." " Go to reception." "What are they doing?" "They let anyone in." "I've been walking around in here for half an hour now, looking for my daughter." "No-one seems to know." "I know where she is." " What's her name?" " Pelveau." "Camille Pelveau." "My daughter." "I want her to come home." "She's my only child." "I miss her." "Have you got a Camille Pelveau?" "I hope it's not the new pair." "Why?" "One of them is positive." "What does positive mean?" "It means bad news." " Let's go." " What?" "We're getting out of here!" " Where?" " Somewhere else." "Somewhere nice and in colour." "Are we in black and white?" "Of course!" "Camille!" "Dad!" " I just got here." " I don't want to see your attack." "What attack?" "Is someone having an attack?" " Someone's having an attack." " Who?" "Some poor guy." "Camille!" "Camille!" "Camille!" "I was happy, you know." "Don't ruin your life for me." "My mother was beautiful." "I saw photos when she was beautiful." "Before I was born." "Before motherhood wore her down." "Was your dad handsome?" "Better than now." "He was younger, at least." "People wondered if he was my dad." " I want to touch you." " I wouldn't." "Didn't she want kids?" "She didn't like men." "Their touch or their smell." "Just once." "Let me." "I want to so much." "You always want me." "Yes, but I never fuck you!" "Now it's night." "The parents are sleeping..." "Camille goes to the bed." "Get to work." "It won't happen otherwise." "Who are you?" "No!" "Impossible." "My God!" "You're so pretty!" "I'm still in your balls." "I'm getting bored." "I need to get my hands on her." "What are you waiting for?" "Look." "That's her ass." "Just 10 cm away." "Just move your hand 10 cm!" "If I touch her ass, she'll slap me." " Your dad's nice." " Of course he's nice." "The problem is, he's soft." "I want you to be hard." " I am hard." " Then penetrate her." "How?" "Can't you get it up for her?" "Who?" "Your wife." "I don't know if it's her... but..." "Fuck her and I'll be yours." "When?" "One day." "You'll see." "I need to be born before you fuck my friends." "I'll do all the filthy stuff." "Good God!" " Look at my hand." " We're watching." "It's going towards my wife's ass." " I'm touching my wife's ass." " How does it feel?" "Fresh, like morning dew and blooming flowers." "What's happening to my ass?" "That's a finger." " The heat suits you." " You're hot." " You're sweating." " I want to fuck." " Don't be vulgar." " I want dirty sex." "Make you bite the pillow." "Your eyes will cry out, but you won't make a sound." "And then, nice and slowly, after moistening my cock," "I'll slide it in from behind." "Don't panic." "She's just pretending." "This is my true love." "Then do it." "She wants it." "Look." "She's getting into it." "Put it in." "She's fainted." "Call a doctor." "Help!" "We need a doctor!" " What is it?" " My wife." " What did you do?" " Touched her." " Beat her?" " No." "A caress." " That killed her." " Don't say that!" "We need a doctor!" "Specializing in law!" "We've got you red handed." " For what?" " Murder." " Did you come?" " Of course not!" "Shit!" "Shit!" " Are you family?" " Not yet." "You can get up now." "Thank you, gentlemen." "Touching a woman like that!" "If I had a wife like that, looking would be enough." "That's what I keep telling him." "He can look at everything as much as he likes." "The bathroom, the bedroom." "Even the lavatory." "Lucky guy." "I hate being touched." "Having hands all over me." "I'm the forensic doctor." "Where's the... body?" " You can't touch me." "I'm sorry, I have to take some evidence, traces of sperm, inspect the details." "If I don't find anything, I've got some test tubes, some old semen that'll make a very good impression in the high court." "Gentlemen... do something." "Don't let him." "When science is at work, the police keep quiet." "We need to know the time of death and the nature of the attack." "If you'll get in position." "Like that?" "Spread your thighs." "Is this really necessary?" "My Polaroid shows the thighs were spread." "No..." "No, I've had enough now." "I feel so tired." "I need to lie down." "Is that too much to ask?" "5 minutes!" "Just leave me 5 minutes!" "Five!" "I told you she'd be a problem." "What a pain!" "Évangeline, darling." "You're wonderful!" "What's the problem?" " Maurice!" " I'm here darling." "I'm here." "Stop this fucking rain!" "I'm fed up with playing bitches!" "That's why we hired you!" "Think about your fans." "I can't stand the fans." "They can piss off!" "I won't spread my legs." "No more erotic doctors and secretions." " A child would calm her down." " In the film or for real?" "The film." "I don't know what life is." "Who's this?" "It wouldn't matter." "She'd still be a pain, but with a kid." "Don't be mean." "I'll play the role for free." "How old are you?" "As old as you like. 12 to 18." "I can be pretty or ugly." "Anything." "I beg you." "I can see you're interested." "You're a good director." "Did you see my last film?" "I haven't been lucky enough." "The review just said: "Shit sticks."" "That's right: "Shit sticks."" "Mr and Mrs Pelveau." "Are you going in with him?" "He'll do it alone." "Here's your test tube." "Take your time." "Buzz, when you finish." "Life. 135, take one." "What's he doing?" "He's been in there all morning." "It'll be a nice daughter. 4.5 kg." "Keep out of my private life." "You just here to squirt it in." "You're a minor technician." "16 years later, I show up." "Shame there's no sun." "The street's the same." "Still as narrow." "My friend's with me." " Are you my friend?" " Yes, I am." " I'll introduce you." " Really?" "Do they live round here?" "They're a bit older now." "I like old people." "When they're alive." "Now, get beautiful for my dad." "Like that." "Do you hear synthesizers?" "Yes, I do." "The clocks are nice!" "Never mind those." "Just look nice." "I am nice." "Dad..." "Yes?" "I've got you a present." "Something to eat?" "No." "Something to touch." "Hello." "This is my best friend." "Hello, young lady." "You look very pretty." "Raymond." "Who's down there?" "A new life, Dad." "A chance to start again." "Raymond." "What are you up to down there?" "Fuck off!" "You old slag!" ""Old slag"?" "Old slag!" "You heard." "You shitty old bitch!" "We're making friends over by the till." "Who's that slut?" "My secret lover." "We're taking the money and going." "Don't touch my money!" "Careful, Mum!" "Bullets fly fast." "You'd shoot your mother?" "It happens every day." "Would you rather get hit with a clock?" "We could do both." " Go." "I'll cover you!" " Yes!" "Wait for me!" "Wait for me!" "Raymond!" "Oh!" "No!" "Shit!" "This is ridiculous!" "Camille!" "Dad!" "No!" "When I was young I was handsome and quick." "Are you all right, my darling?" "What about you?" "You look pale and tired." "I've been running." "It looks like I don't need to rush." "I wonder if it wouldn't be better if..." "A new life, a new life..." "Choose the time." " Who was that?" " Germans." "The ones who killed the Jews." "I don't want to live then." "Cut!" "What is this?" "Sabotage?" "Messing up my first film?" "I'll smash your stupid face in." "I know it's a shit film." "The masterpieces come later." "And you won't be in them." "Look at that face." "No wonder we lost the war." "You make me ashamed to be French." "Ashamed." "Please, take it easy." "My daughter's watching." "Sorry." "But I have to shout." "That's the house style." "Pelveau." "Raymond Pelveau." "It all goes wrong." "Take one!" "I'm just the local watchmaker." "I do watches, not politics." "What are you doing in the street?" "I have an appointment." "An appointment." "With whom?" "With me." "French pigs!" "We're piggish." " That's why you lost the war." " That's right." "One day we'll win." "Look at that slut." "What a bitch." "She'd do anything." "Madam," "I have a confession." "I feel intimidated." "So do I. I feel intimidated." "Especially when I think of the intimate scenes we have to play together." "Wait, I..." "I hadn't thought about that." "I have." "A lot." "The scene with the compress?" "Yes, with the compress." "Since you ask about the compress scene..." "I knew you'd ask about it." "How can I describe it?" "It came to me..." "I couldn't understand." "The images haunted me." "I knew they were unbearable." "They haunted me." "In the hotel corridors, while people slept," "I would pace, racked by doubt." "The compress scene." "Will the viewers take it?" "An actress is sleeping behind this door." "Without me." "And she doesn't care." "She's probably with the boom operator." "She's not interested in me, the director." "Dad?" "I'm here." " I'm here." " Why am I tied up?" "I don't know." "I didn't ask for cuffs." " Where are the keys?" " Dad!" "Dad!" "Don't move." "I'll get help." "Should I put the blood out?" " It's going to clot." " No, it's haemophiliac." "This scene wasn't in the script." "I wrote it in Normandy." "The trees were blooming and the birds singing." "Back then, we Germans practised torture." "Refined torture." "And experiments." "Scientific experiments." "Do you value one eye more than the other," "Mr Watchmaker?" "Don't be scared, Dad." "It's just cinema." "Someone's shat round here." "I know the smell." "The compress scene." "Wait." "They're torturing my husband." "I want to go home." "Be nice and take me." "No more new life?" "This is too dangerous." "I prefer arthritis." "And your resistance friend?" "I don't resist." "I don't think I've ever said no." "She's beautiful." "Sorry, miss." "I'm not a hero." "We were the heroes." "We invaded everything." "Nothing resisted us." "Towns, women, nothing." "Is this your wife?" "I can't see." "Is that better?" "Yes, I can see now." " Is this your wife?" " Yes, it's my wife." "Look at what I'm doing." "I get it when I want it." "Silence!" " Ready for the compress?" " Ready." "And you, doctor?" " Will you let my kids go?" " Later." "Camera!" "Compress scene." "Take one." "I had a nightmare when I was a kid." "Always the same." "There was a guy with an eyepatch." "Always the same man." "He took off his patch and his eye, came out with it." "That's why I'd cry." "And you'd console me." "I don't want my daughter to cry." " Will you shut up?" " No more war!" "Shut it!" "I'm touching your wife." "Intimately." "Pull off the compress!" "Cut." "From the top." "We're going again." "I remembered you were nice, but not this nice." " How was it?" " Great!" "Let's go again." "We'll take the other one out now." "What about my balls, too!" "Take care, darling." "You've got a serious illness." "What sort of illness?" "What are you doing?" "We're ready." "I've got something to say." "We've got a film to do." "I don't want to die." "There are Germans everywhere." "This woman is very sick." "I'm a doctor." "Even if I acted like a shit in the past," "I'm doing my job now." "You're the shits now." "Look." "Look." "Yes," "I'm in the Resistance." "Yes," "I run a country hospital out in Le Vigan." "Yes, I'll go on to stand as a Gaullist in local elections." "I will!" "And when I'm elected," "I'll be a shit again." "I'll be a right-wing shit." "But right now, I'm a hero." "You're going to die." "The hotel's surrounded." "Cut, you idiots!" "Cut!" "Bullet wounds?" "I didn't ask for bullet wounds." "Stop it!" "This is all wrong." "The attack's not now!" "Those are live rounds!" "Do you want to hide or fight the occupier?" "Hide." "Here's the place." " Shut up." " I didn't speak." "I could feel you were going to." "It's time to keep quiet." " I said nothing!" " Shut it!" " Why are they shooting?" " No idea!" "Dad!" "Is anyone hurt?" "I wanted a hiding place, not a bunker." "It's war." "July 43." "I'll show you your place." " Don't you have luggage?" " What do you think?" "Mine's in my pants." "Dad!" "She's hit." "I don't want to die on the tracks." "She can't, she's not born." "Is your bullshit almost over?" "Look at this." "My hands are covered in blood." "Haven't we got enough to deal with?" "Your war scares me." "It scares us too." "Can't you see?" "Is that a reason to die?" "We won't die of fear." "Wars end." "And life starts again." "Life reasserts its rights." "See how your father goes at it." "He bites right into life." "I must give you some French letters." "What for?" " Ignore him." "He's a doctor." " What for?" "Where's this guy been living?" "Don't you read the papers?" "Can we decide what era we're living in!" "If there's AIDS, there can't be Germans." "And if there are Germans, there's no AIDS." "And we can fuck!" "Hello." "Hello." "It'd be a time when we could make love." "Without risking a fatal disease." "And without Germans." "I've had my fill of Germans." "I've got one eye, thanks to them." "Were you at Verdun?" "Not Verdun." "Nearby." "In a trench full of water." "I left my youth in that water." "What if I gave you mine?" "I'm a simple kind of girl." "I wouldn't say no." "I could do with some affection." "I like giving affection." "Giving it is the only way of getting it." "I..." " I mean with men." " Of course." "I've always liked men." "Even when they took advantage or hit me." "Have you had a lot?" "I've had a few." "And..." "I have to tell you something." "It's a bit tricky." " Are you pregnant?" " How did you know?" "You can see it straight away." "You couldn't be so beautiful otherwise." "Will you have me anyway?" "It'd be like a gift." "It'll be a daughter." "We'll call her Camille." "Camille..." "Camille's nice." "How does happiness feel, Dad?" "Tears are never far off." "Tears are never far off." "Cut." "I think this'll go to Cannes, kids." "Cannes, next stop." "All this smoke is making my eyes water." "Can we do another one?" " How's your film?" " Not bad." "Nearly finished." "I think I know this station." " What?" " I know it." " Have you been here before?" " You have too." "We hid up there." "You'll see." "You were in bed with Joëlle." "You kept making love." "It feels like yesterday." "But there's no bed." "There was one back then." "You were in it." "You were groaning, and shouting and laughing." "I was on my soggy mattress, watching you." "Soaking up your happiness." "When was all that?" "During the war, Dad." "During the war." "You weren't in the war." "It finished before you were born." "This is my daughter." "She just aced her exams." "Where's Joëlle?" "Isn't she with you?" "She's in her room." "Why?" "Is something up?" " She's tired." " What do you mean?" "Tired." "Look what you did to my beauty." "Look." "I used to be like her." "I was bewitching." "I had a waist and dimples." "Drink less." "It'll come back." "That's right." "I drink." "And I'm not ashamed." "Better than being sterile." "I'm not sterile." "I'm saving myself for my fans." "You don't have many left." "They run screaming from you." "What about your daughter?" "When she sees your old face?" "Don't you mention my daughter." "She's my daughter!" "My skin may look like leather, but I love her." "I'm an old actor." "So?" "So it's annoying." "That's all." "Annoying." "You're an old actor in demand." "For little parts." "Like watchmakers, bit parts, non-entities." "My character never counts for anything." "It's just routine." "I can't add much to it." "I wanted to be a great actor." "And I was just minor." "Little and great alike, they hold the building up." "But now I'm old." "The best would be to die in a small part." "Remember Raymond Pelveau?" "He was good, Raymond Pelveau." "He was..." "He was good." "Joëlle!" "Why don't you come to me?" "My bedroom's not nice either." "I get cold too." "I'll come to you later." "I have to see Joëlle." "She's in 29." "The nicest, of course." "Mum..." "Yes?" "Is it really like this?" "What?" "Life." "You're pretty, you know." "You've got a nice face." "I thought you'd leave me, like the others." "I was with my Dad." "He was talking to me." "How's your film?" "OK." "You don't seem very happy." "You don't seem happy." "No, no, I'm OK." "Sure?" "The film isn't funny." "Not at all, I tell you." "It's not funny." "Why?" "What's it about?" "A girl who's sick." "Seriously sick." "So sick she's going to die." "That's my part." "That's a good part, a girl who dies at the end." "For sure." "A good part." "What's wrong with her?" "They don't know." "They look, but they don't know." "I mean, they can't make her better." "They know the disease." "They know it well." "They know it inside out." "I go to conferences, special programs..." "It's really interesting." "But during that time, I..." "I don't want to go, Camille." "I don't want to." "Even if I fucked a lot, and I deserve all that's happening." "Nobody told me that it was dangerous to fuck." "Nobody." "I thought that was life." "Life is so beautiful." "I'm too young to die." "Too young." "No!" "No!" "No!" "What about me?" "Don't you arrest me?" "Stop pushing!" "The Jews have landed us in the shit again." "What shit?" "The war, idiot." "Our fucked up lives." "It's not a war." "We're filming." " I'm the producer." " Where's the camera?" "I can't see it." "That's why I'm worried." "Let me past." "I'll sort this out." "I can't." "They're going to shoot us." "They're just blanks, silly." "Close the doors." "Don't be scared." "Things like that don't happen now." "Only in the cinema." "We'll see more films." "You'll see." "American films." "Will you take me to Hollywood?" " Say that again?" " Will you take me to Hollywood?" "Once more." "Will you take me to Hollywood?" "Yes." "Fresh air at last." "Christ!" "He really stinks!" "Of course." "He shat himself." "Why did we come today?" "6 hours sniffing shit in the traffic." " No-one forced you." " It's no life for him." "6 hours with his shitty arse in a traffic jam." "See the look on his face." "Yes, he looks unhappy." "He's always looked like that." "You know why?" "Because he was unhappy." "I don't want to be like him, wasting my life with a loser!" "I can feel an argument coming." "What do you mean, "loser"?" "Sorry for saying "loser"." "We need to get to the supermarket." "It closes soon." "Sorry for saying "loser"!" "Dammit!" "Why are you shouting like that?" "Why is she shouting?" "Why is she shouting?" "Mum..." "Sorry kids." "I'm feeling tense too." "I'm going to the supermarket." "Come on." "The bags..." "Don't let it get to you." "There are good times." "You'll see." "What?" "Life, my girl." "Life." "You'll see." "It's not all shitty." " Sometimes it's good." " Really?" "Yes!" "I'm telling you, it is." "Let's go and have a nice shower." "We deserve it."
