"TRUE" " Yes?" " Thomas, listen." " Francine." " Listen." "There are times when life calls out for a change." "A transition." "Like the seasons." "Our spring was wonderful, but summer is over now, has been for a long time." "We missed out on autumn." "And now all of a sudden, it's cold, so cold everything is freezing over." "And my heart has stopped beating." "Our love fell asleep, and the snow took it by surprise." "But if you fall asleep in the snow, you don't feel death coming." "Take care." "When something ends that shouldn't end, you make sure it goes on." "In your head." "You simply begin again at the beginning." "Let me out." "Please!" "Francine, I remember exactly." "It was May 15." "Spring was late." "It was about to rain." "And you were screaming." "Please, Bruno." "Bruno, please." "Please!" "Bruno, you bastard." " Open up!" " Hello!" "Open up!" "Open up!" "I can't take it anymore." "Can anyone hear me?" "Help!" "I hear you." " Who is Bruno?" " I'm rehearsing, can't you see?" "Oh, no." "Sorry." "No, I'm sorry." "I didn't want to bother you." "Sorry." "No, it's ok." "I was overdoing it, anyway." "You're an actress?" "Trying to be." "I have an audition today." " At the conservatory?" " Yeah." "What kind of scene was that?" "It's from this pretty bad movie I was in once." "It's my only one so far..." "I'm this prostitute who gets beaten and raped by her pimp and then..." "He locks her in his dark cell for all day long and then... she goes nuts, but..." "at the end they still get married." "So pimp and prostitutes." "You'll make it." " Really?" " Really." "Then thank you." "How do you know?" "I came over here because I wanted to help you." "I was afraid what was happening to you." "I believed all of it." "Sometimes, in moments like that one, you hear yourself talking, and you ask yourself:" "Where did these sentences come from?" " Shit." "It's ten?" " So?" " I have to be there at ten." " I know a shortcut." "C'mon." " Wait!" "Wait!" " This way." " Are you sure?" " Straight." " That was fast." "Thanks." " Good luck." "And when you fall in love, you do things you didn't even know you had in you." "That gesture, for instance:" "I picked it up From some cheap novel, ten years ago." "And I'd never thought of it again." "Until that day." "And you were accepted, of course." "You moved from Boston to Paris into a little apartment on the rue du Faubourg St. Denis." "I introduced you to our neighbourhood, my bars, my school." "I introduced you to my friends, my parents." "I listened to your texts, your singing, your hopes, your desires, your music." "You listened to mine, my Italian, my German, a bit of Russian." "You learned French and found a job in a cafe." "I brought you to the academy and started to prepare for my exams." "Every week you wore a new perfume, though there was always a hint of vanilla." "I gave you a walkman, you gave me a pillow and at some point you kissed me." "Time went by, time flew, and everything seemed so easy, so simple." "Free." "So new and so unique." "We went to the movies, we went dancing, we went shopping, we laughed, you cried, we swam, we smoked, we shaved." "Now and then you screamed without any reason or with a reason." "Yes, sometimes you did have a reason." "I brought you to the academy." "I studied for my exams." "I listened to your singing, to your hopes, to your desires, to your music." "You listened to mine, to my Italian, my German, my bits of Russian, you learned French." "We were close, so close, ever so close." "I studied for my exams;" "the new perfume," "We went to the movies, we swam, we listened to music, we laughed, I studied for my exams, you screamed, sometimes with a reason, and sometimes without." "Time went by." "Time flew." "I brought you to the academy, I studied for my exams, we listened to music." "You listened to my Italian, my German, my Russian, my French." "I studied for my exams." "You screamed, sometimes with a reason." "Time went by." "For no reason, you screamed, for no reason." "I brought you to the academy." "I studied for my exams, my exams..." "Italian, German, Russian, French." "Time went by." "You screamed." "You screamed." "You screamed." "I went to the movies." "Bruno I'm dying down here." "Hear me?" "I'm dying." "Open up!" "I can't take it anymore." "Bruno, please open up!" "Can anybody hear me?" "Help!" "Forgive me, Francine." " Yes?" " Hey, what happened?" "You were gone all of a sudden." "Did you hang up?" "Is it that bad?" " Thomas." "Are you still mad about yesterday?" " No." "Okay, so tell me, was it believable?" "Ah I see, shit, it doesn't work like that, huh?" "Well, how are you supposed to say:" ""Our spring was wonderful but summer's over."" "without sounding completely melodramatic." "Whatever, the director loves it, I'm gonna have to find a way." "Thomas, are you listening to me?" "No." "I see you." "THE END" "Subtitles: mitbrille Karagarga@2014"
