"Trip to the End of the Street" "I lost it over there." " Will you help me look?" " Yes, but I don't have much time." " Where did you lose it?" " I don't know." "I'm sure I lost it there." "Right there!" "Help me look." "I don't see it." " We'd see it if it was here." " I think so." "And here?" " Nothing." " I'm getting dirty now." " You don't see it?" " No." "You'll pass your audition." " Not without my guitar!" " Why do you say that?" "I hate stages like that." "Don't get worked up." "You'll be fine, don't be stupid." " Don't think that way." " Think so?" "Of course." "Come on..." " I'll walk you to your scooter." " OK." "It'll be fine." "Call me right after." " I'll call you right after." " What do you say?" "Break a leg!" " Have you seen my guitar?" " No, I haven't." " Are you sure?" " Of course!" "I need it for my audition, it's my lucky charm." "You'll have to find another." " Is the butterfly OK?" " It's pretty." " You're sure?" " Yes!" "It's not too garish?" "No." "And it's in the back." "It's pretty." "I'll come and get you, OK?" "Big kiss." "Break a leg!" "Hello." "Bookstore "Les Mots à la Bouche"" "Hello." "I was wondering how you choose the books." "Choosing the books?" "Either the representatives suggest books, or we order them from catalogues." "You pick them yourself?" "No, it's someone else from the bookstore." "Is this an important place in the Marais?" " Of course!" " Why?" "You're talking about our bookstore?" "Because we've been the premier French gay and lesbian bookstore for 25 years." "You've been here for 25 years?" "Is your clientele mostly gay and lesbian?" "Mostly gay and lesbian, yes." "But we have a walk-by clientele." "People going past who see a book in the window, who come in and get interested in the selection." "But the majority of our clientele is gay and lesbian." "I see." "Is it mostly guys who come?" "No... we've never really counted the percentage of guys to girls, but it's pretty balanced." "It's balanced?" "Because right now there's only guys." "That's simply because this type of book doesn't exist for girls." " All this type of books?" " The nudes... nude photos, there are a lot for guys." "It doesn't really attract girls?" "Have you ever had problems with people getting too transfixed by these books?" "Problems?" "No." "It's not a problem." " Thanks a lot." " You're welcome." "Is that a book you will buy?" " No, I have it already." " Really?" "This is a reedition, but I have it already." "Is it a nice book?" "I see..." "What else can I show you?" "Not that..." "Sylvie Blum." "Thank you, goodbye." "Come on." "Look at the photos." "Coming?" "Come on." "Is it true that Coluche came here?" "I don't know." "Not Coluche." "Renaud did." " Renaud came here?" " Yes." "Did he get free meals?" "I couldn't tell you, I wasn't here then." "The water is good!" "The water in the Marais is good." "It smells a bit marshy." "This isn't common practice anymore." "To offer water?" "Especially in a wine glass." "Do you want some water?" "Drink a bit." " Drink some water!" " I'm still on coffee for now." "Come on, let's go." "Hello." "This is a chair." "Can you explain how it works?" "It's a bit unusual." "This is a gay sex shop, one of the first." "It was established in the 80s." "This is a scat chair." "It has two positions." "There's a position underneath, I don't know if you can see it." "It's a bit unusual because it's a sex object." "One person is tied up, there's a mask and accessories here." "Then another person lies underneath." "It's one of the sex objects we sell in the store." "There are also cages downstairs." "The store has three levels, with old vaulted cellars like you find in the Marais, where we keep a lot of accessories." "If you'd like to go down I'll accompany you." " Watch the stairs." " Thank you." "I see!" "This is really something!" "It's a great setting." "Yeah, it's great." "There are some dildos over here, in latex or vinyl, as well as butt plugs." "But this is absolutely huge!" "It looks huge." "When I started work here I thought it was just for decoration." "But in fact people really use them." "It takes a bit of practice." "You have to build up to it, like with these..." " It's massive!" " It is quite large." "There's also latex..." " Do a lot of people buy these?" " No, not many." " For example, you sell..." " We sell more like these ones." "Do you sell one a month or..." "It's irregular, there's no fixed rate of sale." "Some people collect them, they're collectors." "This is pretty big too!" "That's double-ended." "It can be used for two people." " Really?" " Absolutely." "How?" "There are two ends..." "No, it's not this one." "I think I'm sold out." "There's one like this only with two heads." "I'll unwrap it and let you see." "So two at once." "You can't go through one person then have a second?" "No." "We have a lot of things but nothing like that." " And this kind of saw?" " It's a dildo machine." "It's like a drill, it's shaped like a drill, but at the end it's a dildo." "Do these sell well?" "No, these are products which sell less." " It's expensive, 495 euros." " Yes, it's quite expensive." "It's one of our top priced products, but we don't sell many." "We have a big leather section and our DVD section is one of the largest in Paris." "This you haven't seen." "It's a sling, it's quite fun." "You can lie on it, it gives a rather special position." " It works for girls, too." " You could use it as a swing." " If you like..." " It's sturdy." "Yes, it's pretty sturdy." "It's not designed as a swing, but you could always begin the game that way." "It could quickly become more sexual in nature..." "As our friend Dr Freud said, everything is sexual in nature." "Everything starts from there, I agree." "Usually in sex shops or stores with a sexual connotation there are curtains in front, it's a bit sordid, like in Pigalle..." "But here there's no problem." "Here it's pretty laid back." "It's open to anyone, both girls and guys." "We haven't seen these objects yet." "Here we have the protoscopes." "What are they for?" "A protoscope will serve to widen the anus a bit... and keep it open." "The one beside it also has a light." " It must hurt, though." " I don't know." "I think if it's used properly it shouldn't hurt." "This one has a light which allows you to look inside." "Really?" "Do these sell well?" "Yes, absolutely." "It's amazing!" "Why would you look inside?" " Some people are curious by nature." " True." "Some people are curious and want to try new experiences." "If it amuses people, we like to participate." " It's good to be free." " Absolutely." "Come on!" " Have you seen my guitar?" " Pardon?" "My guitar." "Want to look in my bag?" "I didn't steal it!" " Are you sure?" " Quite positive!" "It's very small..." "Here, look if you don't trust me." "Now I've seen everything!" "Making me out as a thief!" "Mom!" "Mom, come down!" "Bring me Pilou." "I'm in a hurry!" "I'm in a hurry, get a move on!" " Are you coming?" " Yes!" "Here's the dog." "Take him out for a pee." "And let him poo, as well." "Last time you didn't, and he went on the couch." " I don't want that again." " Yes, I know." "And then pick it up." " Clean up his poo!" " Think I didn't hear you?" " Then say, "Yes, mom"." " Yes, mom!" "What's that butterfly in your hair?" "Why are you stamping your feet?" "I'm in a hurry, I have my audition." "What will you do with Pilou?" "I don't know, it's just an audition." "I'll take him." " Keep him with you." " I will!" "I don't want anyone stealing my dog!" "I heard you!" " I'm going." " Give me a kiss." " I'm in a hurry!" " Give your mother a kiss!" "Unbelievable!" "Go on, poo..." "Come on!" "Excuse me, sir..." " Do you speak French?" " Yes." "Do you want the dog?" "I'm sick of him!" "No, thank you." "Come on, Pilou!" " Could you watch my dog?" " I don't speak French." "How about you?" "Could you take the dog?" "Do you think you could watch my dog for ten minutes?" "While I go to my audition?" "Would that be possible?" "To keep the dog for ten minutes?" "Could you keep the dog during my audition?" "No?" "You don't want to?" "Could you take the dog?" "I'm showing these people the Marais, and I can't manage with the dog." "Here." "Shall we keep going?" "Come on." "Let's keep going." "It's tiring to walk on these heels." "Really?" "There's a courtyard." "Let's take a look." "It's very pretty, very simple." " Are you here to reflect?" " No, I work here." "You work here." "Is it offices?" "No, it's a museum." "A museum of what?" "It's an 18th century collection." "Of objects or what?" " Objects, paintings, furniture..." " Here?" " Take a look, it's beautiful." " We can go in?" "Of course, it's a free museum." "It houses some treasures." "Have you asked permission to film?" "You'll have to ask." "Alright, we'll go then." "Hey, you have a flower on your shirt!" " Would you like it?" " Thank you." "Good bye." "I could put it on the other side." "It's too much?" "You think it's too much?" "Do you know where the rue Sévigné is?" "Can we go in?" "Hang on, do you have authorisation?" "Yes, to film Louis." "Louis the what?" "Louis XVI?" "I don't know, whatever." "Go ahead." "Let's go the gallery." "It's here." "It's there." "It's beautiful." "Madame, would you like a dog?" " He's called Pilou." " Yes, but..." "She doesn't want him." "Poor Pilou... maybe I'll start liking him after all." "Hang on, come here!" "This?" "This isn't bad." "I have an audition later, and I need..." "He has to come with me, and I'd like him to be well dressed." "OK..." " Can I try this?" " That's going to be too big." "This too?" "But I picked the smallest model." "For her it'll be this type of thing." " It's a boy!" " For him..." "It'll be this range of things." "25, that's his size." "It's tiny." "But it's only shorts..." "It's not shorts, this is a tank top." "Really?" "Don't you have something more..." "To match my dress." "Your dress?" "Yes, because my dress is a bit..." "I'll show you." "You'll need a coat, in that case." " Like this." " Something which matches..." "In the coats..." "This is shiny, it's not bad." "95 euros?" "Damn, that's expensive!" "I could never afford that." "There's a little hat." "Come here, you." "That's better." "Let's see?" "It's not enough." "This is nice for you." "It's a bit..." "Hang on, there we go." "And it's cheaper. 45 euros!" "Sorry." "We're going to go." "Sorry, Pilou!" "I'll take this off you." "You'll be all ugly!" "Is this how you want it?" "Not even a little dress!" "Not even a little hat!" "Myrtille!" "What are you doing?" "I'm looking for my guitar and walking Pilou." " Did you cut your hair?" " No." " Yes, you did." " Just the ends." "You cut your hair." "See how much he's grown?" " He's six months old now." " That's big!" "It's big but it's little." "You can look if you want." "I have to go, I'm looking for my guitar before the audition." "I have to find it." "I should go." "Come and see me, I bought a mixer." "I make banana shakes." "Come and have a juice." "Myrtille..." "I'll try." "Tomorrow I'm walking Pilou, but no audition." "Maybe then." "Come." " What's your building code?" " There isn't one." "Come on." "Will you offer me a falafel?" "You'll see how they make falafels, which they are generously giving us." "There's room inside, sir." "Do you frequently offer people falafels?" "This is the bread." "Do you want spicy sauce or not spicy?" "Not spicy." " Here you go." " That's hot sauce!" "It's not hot." " Are you sure?" " Positive." "Here." " Thank you." " Bon appétit." "Delicious." "You're so gorgeous!" "You're just too gorgeous!" "You have amazing eyes." "Hey, no photos!" "You're just too gorgeous." "Do you mind if we film you?" "Can we film you?" "Hello, Myrtille!" "How are you?" "I'm looking for my guitar." "Have you seen it?" "No, where could it be?" "Rue des Francs-Bourgeois, on the right, there's a café." "I think I may have seen it." "Didn't you sing there last night?" "I was told you sing." "In cafés." "Someone mentioned a song about the rue des Francs-Bourgeois." "Did they say it was good?" "Can you sing it for me?" "Through the rue des Francs-Bourgeois, and then Bastille" "In the national archives, you will look for my soul..." "To leave on horseback through the rue de Bretagne" "But I had forgotten" "To tell you..." "It's great!" "I'm proud of you." "Really?" "You think it's good?" "They have shows here in the evening." "Sometimes there's singing." "I'll show you my dress." "Want to see?" "Go on." "It's beautiful, it's gorgeous." "Think it suits me?" "It's great, did you mother design it?" " No, I bought it." " You bought it?" "I'm off, ciao." "Bye." "Ah, here you are." "Follow me." "That's where the bomb exploded." "Where it's black there, the hole." "The hole." "Come on, I'll show you." "There are bullet marks here." "And here." "Machine gun." " It was a machine gun?" " They came in with machine guns." "Were you here?" "I arrived a minute later." "Good thing, because otherwise they would have killed me." "They came right through here." "All the seats were ripped up, we had to change them." "It was really something." "Why did they..." "It was the first attack of its kind in France, here." "Was anyone hurt?" "8 killed and 22 wounded." "We have a plaque there." "I'll be right there." "Come in and look around." "Go ahead." "Come in, sir." "You can come in." "Look." "Look at this." "It's Cardinal Lustiger." " Cardinal Lustiger." " Who's that?" "The Cardinal of Paris." "Is he yours?" "Not at all, he's my mother's." "She pays me 200 euros a month to walk him." "That's pretty good!" "Were you just groomed?" "Did they clip your..." "The cakes look delicious." ""Culture"." "Shall we keep going?" "We can get down this way." "Shall we continue?" "Rue des Francs-Bourgeois." "Excuse me, have you found a guitar?" "No, I haven't found a guitar." "Yes, it's the chimney sweep." "If you find one in the chimneys, will you tell me?" "I'll try, but it's probably stuck." "I noticed a change, you have an alarm system." " Was there too much theft?" " Yes." " Of some products." " Which products, for example?" "Want me to show you?" "There was a lot of theft of Immortelle line products." " Immortal lime?" " The Immortelle line." " These little flowers here." " And they make you immortal?" "No..." " I wish!" " Do you use it?" " Yes, I do." " You have beautiful skin." "Go ahead." "I hope you haven't stolen any cream." "Your flowers are beautiful!" "He'd like to live there!" " Do you have a free room?" " Sorry?" "Do you have a free room?" "Come on." "You're going to this store?" "What will you buy?" "I'm not sure yet." "You're going to look." "Is it a gift or for yourself?" "I'm looking for a gift." "I see." " Do you want a photo?" " I'm Italian." "My butterfly!" "Yes, alright." "And what else?" "Can I call you right back?" "What's going on?" "It's my butterfly." "It fell on the ground." "Now it's missing some glitter." "My heart bleeds for you." "And?" "I thought maybe you could give him something to get him back on form." "What do you think of my butterfly?" "I'm not big on turquoise, but it's not bad." "Think it suits me or not?" "Yes, it's pretty." "Think it's good for an audition?" " It it better with or without?" " What type of audition?" "To sing." " It's good." " It works, you think?" "Yes." "Singing or shouting?" " Singing." " Yes, it's fine." "You like it?" "It works?" "I'll keep it, then." "Thanks, that's kind." "It works, so I'll keep it." "Is that good?" "Pilou, come here!" "Excuse me, do you have the time?" "Ten to ten." "Ten to ten!" "No, I don't believe it!" " Sorry?" " What?" "Weren't you talking to me?" "No, I was talking to myself." "I have an audition here at 10, and I hurried, but now I'm ten minutes early." "Do you know the Oolong?" " It's a nice tea." " Is it fattening?" "It's not fattening, it's tea." "Go on." " Can I bring the dog?" " No problem." "There's no one here anyway." "Just a second, I'll slip by." "You can come back." "I have stage fright." "For your audition?" "You shouldn't." "It's hot!" "I burned my tongue, how am I going to sing?" "Calm down." "I'll get you a glass of water." "I'll play you my song." " Which number do you want?" " I don't know." " Just say a number." " Thirteen." " There's no thirteen, is three OK?" " Fine." "Are you ready?" "I got pink roses..." "Beautiful pink roses" "I don't like pink roses" "On rue des Rosiers, I threw them away..." "I left my heart" "Here, there and everywhere" "Hang on..." "Not there, OK?" "Pieces of love affairs..." "later" "Your old socks, rue Vieille du Temple" "I can't wear them" "They are too big" "My rivals are no longer there" "They have disappeared" "They escaped on the rue de Rivoli" "I left my heart" "Here, there and everywhere" "I left my heart" "Always a tiny piece" "Pieces of love affairs..." "later" "Place de I'Hôtel de Ville, I'll never go" "I can't find daffodils or cornflowers there" "Do you want vanilla ice cream or a sorbet?" "I squashed it on the window of BHV" "If you want to eat it, just lick it." "Think it's pretty?" " Honestly, yes." " Really?" "I liked it a lot, I found it..." " You really liked it?" " Really!" " It's original." " Shall I give you a CD?" "No, it's fine." "Really." "I have lots." " Here." " OK, thanks." "I gave one away earlier." "I have lots on me." "Do you like my dress?" "Back up so I can see." "Yes, it's very pretty." "I like it." "Alright..." "I'll give you a card." " With my name." " Alright." "I have to find them." " What's your name?" " Myrtille." "I can never find my cards." "My guitar!" "Done by (c) dcd / January 2011"
