"We received this tape without the name of any authors or actors." "Certain costume details place the filming around 1950 or 51." "We thank Eric Rohmer and Jean-Luc Godard for including the sketch in the series "Charlotte et Veronique."" "PRESENTATION or Charlotte and Her Steak" "SUMMARY:" "Charlotte has not yet left her native Switzerland." "Walter introduces her to Clara, hoping to make her jealous." "There she is." " Hello." " Hello, Clara." "Clara, Charlotte." " Listen, I'm in a big hurry." " We'll accompany you." "Of course, but I warn you that I'm going to go very fast." " Pardon?" " Nothing, I thought you had spoken to me." " Goodbye." "Goodbye." " Goodbye." " I'm going home." "Goodbye." " Goodbye." "Hold on, I'll accompany you." " See you later." " Yes, yes, yes." "See you later." "Why didn't you accompany her?" "I'll see her later." "She was in a hurry." " I'm not inviting you." " I had lunch." " I'll only stay a moment." " You'll dirty my whole place." " I'll stay on the kitchen tiles." " My tiles are clean." "I'll stay on the doormat." "I'll bring it inside." "This is no time to cook." "No, I'm cold." "I need a coffee." "I ate a sandwich." "So you'll offer me a cup of coffee?" "I also have to cook some meat." "That won't bother me." "Do you want me to cook it?" " You're dressed." " You, too." "I could move the carpet closer." "It's done." "Pass me the salt." "It's on the shelf to your left." " Thank you." " You see that I'm useful?" " Would you like some?" " No." "I said no." " A little piece." " I'm not hungry." "No!" "Thank you." "You don't have any bread?" "I have just enough for myself." "I told you I wasn't inviting you." " You weren't obliged to give me any meat." " There you go." "Here's a fork." " You think I'm extremely boring." " No, why?" " Let go of me." " I would like to kiss you." " Eat quickly." "Your meat is going to get cold." " Kiss me first." " After, then." " No." "No?" " Kiss Clara instead." " Clara is not here." "You'll see her tonight." "I don't know if she'll want to." " Too bad for you." " You're upset." "She's 100 times better than I am." "Why are you bothering me?" "Your sentence makes no sense." "What doesn't make sense?" "The beginning or the end?" "The end, obviously." "The beginning, too." "Why do you say that?" " Would you like me to leave?" " No." "She's not that great." "And I don't like her name." "Mine is even uglier." " Your name is old-fashioned." "Hers is pretentious." " That's not our doing." " Obviously." " So?" "I like you very much." "Much more." "You know that I don't like comparisons." "A thousand times more." "There's no comparison, it's incommensurate." "Not true." " Are you angry?" " No." " Kiss me." " I'm in a hurry." " That's not a reason." " I know that." " Yes, I was being serious." "You don't believe me?" " Yes, yes." "And you?" "Do you believe what you said?" "Clara is more beautiful than you, but I don't like comparisons." "That doesn't bother me at all." "What bothers you is my telling you that I like you better." "No, but you're lying." " Kiss me." " No." " Are you in a hurry?" " Very much in a hurry." " We're not having the coffee?" " No, we don't have the time." "Are you cold?" "Yes, but we're going outside, that will warm us." " You're shaking." " No." " Are my hands cold?" " No." "Don't you know that I like you very much?" " You're lying." " Maybe, but I want to be faithful to you." "That's idiotic." "You know very well I'm not." "I want to be faithful to you." " I'd like to be dead so you'd think of me." " I'd think of you even less." "Yes, and I don't care about what you think." "You're shaking." " You're sad." " Why do you always say that?" "You were saying it before." "Because I don't like you." "Nor do you, actually." "I'm not telling you anything new, certainly." "Yes, I know." "But I'm not sad." "No, you're not." "I know that." "Come on, hurry up." "You're always making me late." "The definitive version of this film was directed by ERIC ROHMER"
