"Okay?" "Is everyone here?" "Can you all hear me?" "Now then, we'll start with a few neighbourhood houses, then take the left side of the park via the flowery steps at the end of the street." "SAME OLD SONG" "Shall we go then?" "You will carry out my orders immediately," "Von Choltitz!" "Yes, mein Fuhrer!" "For the last time, Paris must be destroyed." "Within 24 hours!" "Two loves in my life" "My home and Paree" "In times of strife" "They set my heart free" "Our tour ends here, thevery spot where, behind that window there," "Von Choltitz decided not to carry out Hitler's orders." "Von Choltitz's precise motives remain obscure but Paris was not destroyed, although it was a close thing." "We know that explosives had been placed beneathevery bridge in the city." "Now then..." "If you'll follow me..." "We'll go back to the metro... where we met up earlier." "Sorry!" "How about that!" "What are you doing here?" "I'm working." "I live in Paris now." "Really..." " How are you?" " Fine." "And you?" "I'm fine, fine, fine as ever..." "Still got that company?" "Yes, still..." "It's doing well." "Not bad..." "Sorry, I can't remember your name." "I don't remember where we..." "That's all right." "I'm Camille." "That's it..." "Camille..." "Camille..." "Odile..." "Camille-Odile?" "Lalande, Odile Lalande's sister." "Odile Lalande, of course!" "Camille, Odile's sister, absolutely!" "How about you?" "Fine, I'm still..." "No, what's your name?" "Sorry..." "I'm Nicolas..." "Yes, Nicolas, of course..." "So how's your sister?" "She's fine." "Everything's fine." "Sorry, I must dash." "Yes, me too." "I'll tell Odile I saw you." "It's odd, I was planning to call her." "How odd..." "I just got to Paris, I haven't had time to..." "No need to justify yourself." "I'm not, I'm just explaining." "Call her, she'll be glad to see you." "Same number?" "It hasn't changed?" "How long have you been away?" "I can't remember..." "That long?" "Eight years." "I can't believe it, you haven't changed a bit." "I mean it, it's not just flattery." "You're more beautiful than ever." "Isn't she?" "He tells all the women that." "It's a natural reflex." "You're like the breeze in a violin, bearing the scent of roses." "Caramel, candy and chocolate" "At times, I don't understand you." "Thank you, no, not for me..." "Offer them to another" "Who loves the wind and scent of roses" "Those sweet, hone y words" "May land on my lips But will never touch my heart" "One more word..." "Words, words, words..." "Why do you say that?" "I've seen you at work." "Who are you trying to make me out to be?" "I really mean it, you're..." "What can I say now?" "I mean it, you're beautiful..." "Claude?" "He can't tell." "He's used to me." "You can't tell, can you?" "Of course I can." " Well, am I right?" " Of course!" "She's very beautiful." "Of course." "And your wife?" "Are you happy?" "Very." "Very happy, yes." "Coffee?" "Can you make coffee, Claude?" "I'll make coffee..." "Odile..." "We haven't talked since you called to say you were getting married." "That's the last I ever heard from you." "No!" "Yes, it was!" "Except for birth announcements." "See, you had the birth announcements." "Do you make her suffer much?" "Who?" "Your wife." " You're not too unfaithful?" " I don't believe it!" "Why does everyone think I'm still like that?" "It's an old reputation that was barely justified." "It makes no sense." "Honestly..." "Want to see a photo of us?" "During the Easter holidays..." "The y're so big!" "The y're sweet." "What does this remind me of?" "I know!" "That cereal advert." "You know the one I mean?" "Cereal?" "No, not really..." "That family having breakfast in a corn-field..." "That rings a bell..." "You look sweet together." "Are the y joining you soon?" "Once I find a flat, in a fortnight or so..." "Are you at a hotel?" "Some five-star place, Camille said..." "Have we drunk a lot?" "Have we?" "I never have more than one glass." "That's good..." "Well, I mean..." "Do you mind opening the window?" "Not at all..." "Could you open it?" "Are you all right?" "If I don't talk or move for a while, I'll be okay." "He's watching you From the corner of his e ye" "You're feeling blue As you sit and wonder why" "His e yes are a sweet caress" "You sigh, you acquiesce" "And I just sit here I'm so near" "I see it all" "And I sit here I sit in fear" "As the end draws near" "No, no, it's nothing, I'm just a little weary." "No, not at all, what are you trying to say?" "No, no, I've had a wonderful evening..." "Do you know Nicolas's brother?" "No, not at all." "The last time I saw him, he was twelve or so." "Why?" "Do you think I was wrong?" "Hadn't you hired someone?" "He wasn't hired, he hadn't signed the contract." "Besides, to be quite honest, he didn't seem that interested..." "He just sat there, looking as if..." "Tell me if you think I was wrong!" "I was just thinking..." "I don't know why I thought of that." "Sorry, but he's a friend who asked me to help his brother." "How could I have refused?" "He's been unemployed for a year." "Could I have said no?" "Would you have said no?" "It's hard but it has to be" "You can't always be honest, see" "I'm devious, me" "To keep my head above water" "Why should I feel guilty?" "It's normal to help friends out." "Everyone does it." "Everyone." "I'm falling asleep here..." "Besides, I'm glad to be able to help." "Look at me!" "You make me guilty and then doze off..." "You struggle and strive To help men thrive" "But you can't satisfy The whole damn hive" "You toil and strain But all in vain" "You can't satisfy the whole of Spain" "That's bad news..." "I know..." "I'm sorry." "What can I do now?" "You've put me in quite a spot..." "I had no choice..." "But three days ago, you said I was hired..." "Yes, I know..." "I'm really sorry about this." "You don't think I am?" "Don't make things any harder for me." "It's bad enough as it is." "Make things hard for you?" "I don't know what more I can say..." "Tell me, how come the job existed just three days ago?" "Restructuring..." "Over the weekend?" "Yes." "It happened very fast." "It's hard but it has to be" "You can't always be honest, see" "I'm devious, me" "To keep my head above water" "You'll soon find something!" "You have an excellent CV." "You should..." "It's been two years now." "You see, that doesn't mean anything." "You almost found a job here." "There's no reason..." "Just be patient, that's all." "My spleen is green" "My gut is kaput" "My throat's like a moat" "My ribs are squibs" "All right, sit down, my dear fellow, sit down..." "I'm sorry..." "I can't get dressed sitting down..." "Now then, this heart doesn't look too bad." "It'll last a few years yet." ""Not too bad"?" "So it's partly bad?" "The gentleman's getting in a flap!" "Don't panic." "Sit down." "Now, what do you understand by palpitations?" "Just a second..." "No, he didn't last long..." "I never told him, don't worry." "Well now!" "My dear fellow, I don't see anything to worry about." "You said you had palpitations but palpitations is a word people use any-old-how." "It doesn't really mean much." "I think you just need to relax a little." "If you carry on like this, you may end up with an ulcer, understand?" "So just relax." "Ride a bicycle..." "And let it palpitate, old chap." "It has to palpitate, it's all pipes and pumps in there." "It has to work, see?" "Off you go and don't come back." "Now we'll walk over to the dome..." "Tell me if you can't hear." "It's best if you can all hear me." "From here, we can see the full setting..." "Odile Lalande, please..." "Yes, I'll hold." "I struggle, I struggle" "I struggle as hard as can be" "I struggle, I struggle" "Hello, Mrs Lalande?" "Marc Duve yrier here." "Very well and yourself?" "Sorry to disturb you but I wondered if you'd decided." "Are you getting there?" "You want to see it again." "I was going to suggest that." "Of course..." "What would you say to four o'clock?" "Yes?" "Near the usual pile of plates?" "I'll see you later then." "Not at all, only normal." "My pleasure, Mrs Lalande." "See you later, Odile." "Come on now!" "I like girls in a swank hotel" "I like girls in denim jeans" "I like girls you see in Elle" "I like the girls in magazines" "Camille..." "It's Odile, just a quick message..." "It's about the flat..." "I'm seeing it again at four." "We're meeting outside, near that sculpture..." "I'd like you to come." "Try to." "Take care." "Is everyone here?" "The Bois devincennes lay to the east and the Bois de Boulogne to the west." "Napoleon III asked Haussmann to design two new parks, one to the south, the Parc Montsouris, as you probably guessed, and the other to the north, this one, the Buttes-Chaumont." "The y were inaugurated in 1867..." "For the Universal Exhibition..." "Yes, 1867..." "The Universal Exhibition." "Exactly, on April 1, 1867, for the Universal Exhibition, well done." "You may think the park was named for some historical figure but in actual fact..." "It was the Mont Chauve, wasn't it?" "The Mont Chauve?" "...the desert-like aspect of this former quarry, earned it the name of..." "Montchauve!" "I don't see how..." "Montchauve, chauve-mont and Chaumont." "There!" "Did everyone hear that?" "Are you all right?" "Don't get up!" "No, I can get up." "I'm all right, don't fret." "That bastard didn't even stop!" " Bastard!" " I'm all right." "Don't fret." "It was my own fault." "It wasn't your fault!" "No way!" "Damn, I didn't get his number!" "What a scatterbrain!" "Did anyone get that car's number?" "Don't fret..." "Everyone still with us?" "Now then, where this magnificent park now stands..." "Shows?" "The Paris middle-classes would come up here for them you'd find a whole array of outcasts, a den of thieves..." "Sir!" "Excuse me, sir..." "It's obvious you know this park inside out but I'm guiding this tour." "If you don't mind, I'd like to do my job properly." "If you talk when I do, it ruins my concentration." "I understand perfectly." "Thank you, you're too kind." "Let me see..." "This little bridge didn't become famous as a lovers' walk but for a more sinister reason." "Did she say its name?" "No, not yet." "It's the Suicides' Bridge." "The lady asked me..." "Yes, I wasn't sure about..." "Do you live nearby?" "No." "I was meeting my grandson here." "I was late, I ran out like a fool without even looking." "Don't keep on saying that, it's all over now..." "I hope he hasn't gone." "No, he'll be here, if he said he'd meet you." "Do you feel better?" "The y must have had quite a long talk to reach an agreement." "He's been in such a state for three days..." "He came to sign his contract." "He'd been after work for two years, it was such a relief!" "I can imagine." "A real stroke of luck too, what with his wife having her baby soon." "Ah yes, indeed..." "A lucky break." "He was signing today?" "That's right." "Until it's signed, you can't be sure." "No, it was sure." "No, don't say that, nothing's sure without written proof." "Anything can happen..." "Don't get your hopes up." "Were you meeting a young man here?" "He's at the maternity ward, he dashed off." "He was meeting his grandfather." "He gave me a description and then he was off." "He's at the maternity ward." "I'd better get going..." "How much do I owe you?" "No, no, let me..." "No, no, really." "Thank you so much..." "I have to be going." "I'll give you a lift." "I'll take you there." "Don't fret." "You've done enough." "It's no problem!" "No, I'll be glad to!" "I'll take you, it's no big deal..." "It's a feeling of deja-vu" "This isn't my first time here" "I'm sure now, it's true" "I've heard that tune somewhere" "Excuse me..." "I was in your group..." "I may have annoyed you..." "I didn't notice until it was too late." "It's all right." "I have to share what I know..." "It's stupid." "No, it's not." "Have you thought of being a guide?" "That might help." "Perhaps I should try it." "Well, I won't bother you any longer." "This is yours, isn't it?" "You're interested in female poisoners?" "It's good..." "Not the definitive work..." "Not the definitive work?" "I see..." "You've been on other tours." "I've seen you before, haven't I?" "Yes, once or twice..." "You like history?" "Yes, I use it in my work, I write radio plays." " Historical ones?" " Slightly romanticized..." "So, do you have a job?" "Apart from..." "I'm doing my thesis." "What on?" "The yeomen of the year 1000 at Paladru Lake." "That's good." "It's time someone did that." "What do you plan to do after?" "That's the problem." "What can I do after?" "No, I'm joking." "I'll keep at it..." "I'd like to do research and all that..." "Nothing stirred on Red Square" "Ahead of me walked Nathalie" "My guide with a name so fair Nathalie!" "Are you okay?" "You look pale..." "Miss Rigotti's room, please." "Rigotti..." "R.I.G.O.T.T. I..." "Room 228, second floor." "228, thank you." "The lift's just there..." "Come on up, I'll introduce you to my grandson." "Thank you so much... for everything." "You've been wonderful." "Yes, quite wonderful." "No, this is silly." "I shouldn't be here at all." "Just tell him I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "Fine, fine..." "And you won't go back on that decision?" "Yes." "Yes, I understand..." "I don't have much choice..." "Yes, maybe." "Who knows?" "Sure." "Excuse me..." "Are you waiting for someone?" "Not Odile Lalande, by any chance?" "She's my sister, I'm meeting her here too." "She asked me to..." "How do you do?" "Marc Duve yrier." "I was wondering..." "Me too, I don't know where she's got to..." "Excuse me..." "Oh, don't mind me..." "We can do this some other time." "Whatever for?" "I don't know..." "perhaps you'd rather be at home?" "Oh no, I've got time..." "All the time in the world." "I mean, if you don't feel well..." "Don't worry, I'll get over it." "Of course, but..." "The first few days are the worst..." "It wipes you out..." "It's odd she's not here." "Quite worrying in fact, it's not like her." "Never worry 'bout the troubles in life" "Me, I never do" "Come tomorrow, it's good-bye strife" "Wait and see, it's true" "You're lucky, you look on the bright side." "I'm not the type to worry about life..." "Too right." "Know what we're going to do?" "You came to see the apartment, didn't you?" "Let's go up." "She'll guess where we are, she'll come and find us..." "Well?" "You think so?" "Yes, she's bound to realize..." "At least we'll be warm up there." "Yes, that's true..." "Come on, it's this way." "Is it far?" "Odile Lalande?" "I don't know her." "I mentioned her when I first called you." "It wasn't me you spoke to." "It was my boss." "You're not Marc Duve yrier?" "No, he's my boss." "I'm afraid he couldn't come." "An important matter to see to..." "So you get the unimportant ones." " You know what I mean." " You bet I do." "Now..." "Have I brought the ke ys?" "Rather, have I brought the right ke ys?" "Here we are!" "No, this is no good at all." "I don't like it." "At least see it." "All right, I'll have a look but..." "It's too small... 710 square feet, plus the mezzanine..." "You said 8,000 to 12,000 a month." "This one's 10,000." "10,000!" "It's very small." "Don't you think 10,000 is a bit steep?" "It's daylight robbery." "We agree on that then!" "Do you let many flats?" "What?" "To be quite honest, I'm not all that motivated today." "Nothing stirred on Red Square" "Ahead of me walked Nathalie" "My guide with a name so fair Nathalie!" "The yeomen of the year 1000 at Paladru Lake." "It's true, there's an amazing view." "This flat's gigantic..." "It is a fine size." "My sister is so excited about it." "I can see why now." "I never imagined this." "Theview is one of the selling points." "And in this light, it's..." "Beautiful..." "It's one of my favourite times of day." "Mine too, in fact." "It's soothing..." "That's the word, "soothing"." "You feel..." "You have a fineview of that marvellous modern sculpture..." "Lovely, isn't it?" "Very!" "Besides... that's where we met." "Come here and sit by me, my dear" "I'm shy but it won't last, never fear" "Does it mean you don't like me?" "Oh, my kitten, I've been smitten" " What about this pretty lace?" " Gorgeous!" " And this beauty spot on my face?" " Luscious!" " And my size?" " I don't despise!" " And my thighs?" " What a prize!" " And the rest?" " I'm as hot as an oven of pies!" "Well?" "What do you think?" "Of what?" "The flat." "It's nice." "It's very nice." " Do you like kisses in your ear?" " Good Lord!" " And caresses, my dear?" " Oh, my word!" "Can I tickle?" "And prickle?" "And the rest?" " I'm a crazy man, it's true" " Maybe so..." " Totally crazy for you" " Yes, I know!" "I'm in a stew" "It's all through" "And the rest?" "Well, since we both agree" "Come to my arms again" "Let's stay together here, forget the rest, my dear" "She won't be coming now..." "I'd better go." "We can wait a while..." "We can wait a while..." "Isn't there a light anywhere?" "I don't know if the..." "You're here in the dark!" "What do you think?" "Serious, thoughtful..." "prudent!" "Claude is prudent." "Those are supposed to be qualities." "Isn't that too many for one man?" "I'm talking rubbish." "You know what I mean..." "There are no flights of fancy and all that..." "He hates going out..." "Well, that's his right..." "I'm not really complaining..." "Everything's fine." "Better than fine..." "Well, normal." "Why was I saying that?" "I don't know if I'd have put up with someone too..." "See?" "Yes, too..." "Exactly!" "Like me, for instance." "Yes, for instance." "You chose well." "Hold on, when you say flights of fancy, what do you mean?" "A surprise trip to Venice?" "A ring?" "No, that's not the problem." "There again, a ring, out of the blue, why not?" "No, you see... what annoys me is that I make all the decisions." "He agrees, if I'm happy, he's happy too." "I just wish he'd take the initiative, show some enthusiasm for something..." "The y're just minor details." "He's sweet..." "He's very sweet." "I like Claude..." "How's my brother doing?" "Not too much out of his depth, is he?" "He is?" "He's not into the swim of it but that's normal at first." "He's very good..." "He seems very... very attentive." "Thanks anyway, you didn't have to..." " Okay?" " Fine." "Right..." "I'll get going..." " The family genius." " Oh no, Odile!" "I'm just teasing!" "Still, you are the family genius." "I'm proud of my little sister, it's my right." "Did I say she's got her viva on the 28th?" "Really?" "What's your thesis on?" "On... er..." "On nothing." "That won't take long." "The year 1000 at Yeoman Lake." "No, Odile, that's not it." "It isn't?" "Well then, what is it?" "The yeomen of the year 1000 at Paladru Lake." "Isn't that what I said?" "What lake?" "Paladru!" "Sorry, but is anyone interested in that?" "No, nobody." "Why choose it then?" "To set fools blabbing!" "Camille!" "I only asked to be polite." "I realized." "Be indulgent with fools..." "I do what I can." " More coffee?" " No, I must be going." "Have you found a flat?" "I'm still looking but it's hard." "It has to suit my wife." "I describe places over the phone..." "It's not easy." "I'll call you." "He gets on my nerves..." "I noticed." "Sorry, but I can't stand him." "What did he do?" "Nothing, I just can't stand him." "Always playing the wise guy..." "Not at all!" "You were so aggressive!" "He asked a simple question." "What came over you?" "I felt so awkward!" "It's always the same." "The y ask what it's about, you tell them and the y laugh." "I realize I was aggressive, I realize that." "I'm sorry, I didn't want to make you feel uncomfortable..." "I apologize." "Forgive me?" "I'll call him, poor thing..." "Well, tell me then..." "What?" "Stop it." "Well?" "I saw him yesterday, I'm seeing him tonight." "It's all so fast." "Apparently, he's getting over an affair that was... well, fairly painful." "When we met, he was in such a state..." "It's silly but it touched me... seeing him with his guard down like that." "He didn't try to hide it..." "It's thanks to me..." "I'm so happy." "Marc's so sweet..." "But you..." "You're not forgetting your work, I hope." "I don't give a damn" "About what happens to me I don't give a damn" "I've got a man you see Perhaps it's all flimflam" "People can stand and stare It's all one to me, I don't care" "He's got strong arms to hold me" "His body's soft and warm" "His lips carry kisses for me" "Oh, his passion's like a storm" "And when we dance" "In his arms, I feel..." "Well?" "I don't know..." "Have we thought it over?" "Aren't we rushing it?" "Do we need the burden of such a big loan?" "I don't know." "There's theview..." "The area's smarter..." "I want a bigger, nicer place in a smarter area!" "What's so..." "Maybe we can think it over a little longer." "If we keep saying that, we'll never move." "It's a lovely flat, theview's exceptional..." "I like it." "Don't you?" "Of course..." "But we could wait a while..." "It will slip through our fingers if we do!" "What can I say then?" "Let's go for it." "Yes, all right." "In any case..." ""In any case" what?" "I asked your opinion!" "I gave you my opinion." "We'll do what you want." "What more can I say?" "No, don't say "what you want" all the time." "You won't make me happy by saying that!" "You don't want my opinion." "You just want me to agree." "I'm doing the best I can!" "It's true..." "It is a nice flat..." "A very nice flat." "I sent flowers and chocolates to the maternity ward." "To the maternity ward?" "When I took the old man there, I noted the girl's name." "I thought I'd send something..." "So I sent flowers and chocolates." "Yes, that's kind..." " Stop it, will you?" " What?" "Is that irony?" "Of course not!" "No, it's kind..." "It won't make up for..." "But it's a kind gesture..." "I'll send him a cheque." "That's ridiculous..." "Just a little cheque as compensation." "If it makes you happy..." "How's Nicolas's brother doing?" "He's hopeless." "It's about the cheque..." " What cheque?" " That you sent my wife." "Your wife?" "Karine Rigotti." "Rigotti?" "She isn't your wife!" "She is." "We're not married but we live together." "Oh, my God!" "Lots of people aren't married and..." "Yes, of course..." "Well now..." "We were embarrassed, we thought: "What do we do, do we go and see her?"" "We didn't know." "My grandfather tells everyone how kind you were." ""What a woman," he keeps saying." "Then the flowers and chocolates..." "We wanted to write but we didn't have your address." "And then the cheque, well..." "I'm very pleased, I won't deny that..." "But it's mone y." "Can we really accept?" "I would think:" ""Who is this maniac?" too." "We didn't think that." "We just wondered why you were being so kind." "I know, we don't know each other, it's ridiculous!" "I won't explain why." "Your grandfather's sweet..." "He had a fall..." "No, it's complicated..." "Look, the damage has been done now." "All right... keep the cheque, forget everything and I won't bother you again." "True, you can see the Sacre-Coeur..." "It's dangerous but you can see it." "Besides, an occasional quick glance will do." "What are those?" "Cockles or clams?" "I rather like it actually." "I know her." "Camille!" "You know Camille?" "I know her sister, in fact." "Odile Lalande." "She's the one who told me to call your boss." "You know Camille..." "You didn't hear, her sister..." "Told you to call." "I heard." "Is she a friend of yours?" "We've met a couple of times." " Let's call her..." " No, don't!" "All right..." "I want to ask you a favour." "It's a bit absurd but... when I met her I told her I write radio plays." "Right, that is absurd." "I do write radio plays." "Sorry..." "But I didn't say I worked in real estate." "I had no reason to tell her." "If she'd asked me what I did, I'd have told her." "There's no shame in it..." "No, I just haven't had the chance yet." "In the meantime, please don't tell her." "I'll do it." "All right..." "But right now..." "What?" "Sorry, but it's all very complicated." "You've just missed your chance." "You could say hello, normally, and then..." "I don't want to tell her now." "Some other day!" "It's no good now, I don't have time." "I don't want to, see?" "I think I understand now." "What about her?" "How does she feel?" "Does she share..." "No, she's just met someone..." "I was on the phone with this streaming cold, see..." "I finished my call, I can't remember who it was..." "The Italian woman we nearly sold to." "That dump near St Lazare?" "That's it!" "So, I hang up and wipe my e yes, I blow my nose..." "I mean, I had a cold." "Camille, who was waiting just next to me, got it into her head that I was crying, that a woman had just dumped me, that I was upset and all." "That's how she fell for me, with "my guard down"." "Funny, isn't it?" "It is... but how did she react when she found out?" "I haven't told her." "This is my wife's parents' place..." "their country house." "In Kent." "Happy little family..." "What does this remind me of?" "It reminds me of something..." "An ad for breakfast cereal?" "Yes, maybe..." "There you go, it's nothing much, it was just to..." "She gets on my nerves." " Who does?" " Camille." " Why?" " No reason, I find her..." "I don't know... arrogant." "You don't know her!" "The bit I know gets on my nerves!" "It was the same years ago." "Very sure of herself, always successful..." "And dry with it..." "Don't you find her dry?" "Yes, she can be a little dry but..." "I've twisted my neck with the Sacre-Coeur." "I bet I've sprained something." "Have you seen her bloke?" "I don't particularly want to." "I know he always buys her flowers." "She loves that." "Love's blooming, I stand no chance." "It's my fault, I went about it all wrong." "I got into a rut with her." "It's too hard to explain." "But now, unfortunately, I have to play the bosom friend." "No sex but a lot of listening..." "An older brother or a father..." "which is even worse." "Well then?" "What do you think of the flat?" "It's a bit gloomy..." "My wife may find it gloomy." "She'll have to see it." "She'll have to see it." "Will she be here soon?" "In a week or so, she'll pop over for the day." "Anyway, of the last ten we've seen, this is the best, right?" "The y always impress me." "Aren't the y handsome?" "My fuses have blown" "The power's gone out" "I can't find the phone" "I mean, what's this about?" "It makes me wanna shout" "Oh, oh, love's sent me crazy" "You've got the fever in Saigon" "I send myself cards from Canton" "Any more and I'll flip my lid" "And the y'll say he did what he did" "Love's sent me crazy" "Must be hard to wear." "No, it makes them look good." "Maybe I should dress as a guard next time." "I can't quite picture it." "Neither can I." "I'll give you a few minutes to ponder upon Victor Noir's strange fate." "What was I saying?" "Yes, it's near Grenoble..." "It's a small lake, called Paladru Lake." "Amazingly, the site is untouched." "It's like a snapshot of life in the Middle Ages." "I heard your play yesterday." "Did you like it?" "I do a tour to Madame Brinvilliers's house." "I know, I took that tour." "That's where I first saw you." "I don't agree." "You show Madame Brinvilliers as a monster." "I don't agree with that." "She poisoned her whole family..." "Obviously, I'm not denying that." "She was raped at the age of seven and both her brothers had her..." "She was raped at seven?" "Both her brothers had her?" "It changes the whole deal." "But I tell people that on the tour..." "My mind must have been elsewhere." "Let's go!" "I'm disappointed, I expected better." "It's better than nothing." "True, it's better than nothing." "The other bakery is cheaper and better." "I'm working like crazy..." "Yes, it's the big day soon." "When is it exactly?" "Friday at three." "In three days time." "You're not too anxious?" "I feel unbelievably relaxed." "It's my sister who's all worked up." "And my father's making a six-hour train journe y to hear a thesis on yeomen in the year 1000 at Paladru Lake." "He'll nod off after five minutes." "Everyone else probably will too." "Friday at three, I'll think of you." "You can come, if you're interested." "I don't want to be in the way." "On the contrary, please come..." "Will... your friend be there?" "Yes, of course." "Anyway, I'll come..." "Really, yes..." "I'm interested." "What planet are you living on?" "You drag the customer across Paris, then realize you forgot the ke ys!" "What goes on in your mind?" "It's just absentmindedness..." "And what are all these endless lunch-breaks?" "I repeat, you have one hour for lunch." "One hour isn't 90 or 105 minutes, it's 60 minutes!" "I don't know what you do, whether you write your radio poems or just eat slowly," "I couldn't care less." "But I want you back on time." "My father gave you a free rein but it's different now." "True, it is different." "A boss and his employee don't have to be the best of pals." "Just do your job." "Sorry to interrupt but the customer's waiting..." "Go on then..." "By the way, replace me on Friday afternoon." "Why?" ""Why?" Because I'm busy!" "Not for the hell of it..." "It's very big. 11,500?" "I was about to tell you." "It's a fixed rent." "Oh, right..." "In 1939, it belonged to Mr Zambo." "Did he like Mrs Zambo's place?" "I'll call you back." "If I miss the end, it'll look bad." "We can't have that." "I'll call you back." "...the basis of the upheaval of the year 1000." "Thank you, Miss Lipmann, remarkable." "We'll let you know." "It went well, didn't it?" "I don't know how these things usually go but did you hear all those compliments the y made?" "That little fellow:" ""A considerable mass of work..."" ""Exceptional" and all that." "How did you feel about it?" "You really impressed me, you know." "Such determination and self-assurance..." "You astounded me, all right." "Well done, my dear." "Wait for the results..." "Let me have a go too, dad." "Silly..." "It's nerves..." "I was more scared than you." "What a relief!" "Give me your hand and take mine" "The bell has rung without a doubt" "The street is ours, oh so fine" "Yes, yes, school is out" "I could have killed one!" "The fool was reading." "You were talking and he just sat there reading!" "Did you see him?" "It was scandalous." "Well done." "He shouldn't have a say." "He didn't e ven listen." "You ought to file a complaint right now." " What is it?" " Exhaustion?" "I don't feel well." "She's just tired..." "She wouldn't eat." "That's why I offered her this banana earlier!" "Really..." "Here..." "Be a good girl, eat this." "Your blood sugar's down, it's normal!" "She should have eaten pasta last night." "That's what athletes do." "Water..." "Water?" "Water!" "Don't you want to eat?" "Have a little bit more." "Could someone call a doctor?" "My hips do the dips" "My belly has turned to jelly" "My chest is not at its best" "My back has gone all slack" "My sternum is all bunkum" "My navel is all a-wobble" "What about magnesium?" "You can try it." "I'll prescribe you some." "There again, magnesium settles or it doesn't." "We don't know much about it." "Two tests a few days apart can give totally different results." "What do you expect me to tell you?" "What about my low blood pressure?" "True, it is a bit low but it could rise again in the next ten minutes." "Basically, I came too soon." "In an hour, I'd be healthy." "Exactly." "I'll give you some vitamins." "Yes, a bit of magnesium too..." "It won't do any harm." "Have you been vaccinated for hepatitis B?" "Ah." "Tiredness and all that..." "We'll do a test just to check." "Hepatitis B..." "Hepatitis B is terrible!" "It's all or nothing." "You might simply have jaundice or go the whole hog..." "Cirrhosis, cancer and the works." "Hepatitis B is a lottery." "I'm ill" "Totally ill" "Like when mother went out at night" "And left me alone with my plight" "How's life in general?" "Everything okay, no worries?" "Perfect..." "life in general..." "If you remember, last time I saw you you gave me Stimusil for two or three weeks." "It did me a lot of good." "Did that work?" "I'll give you some." "Careful with Glytanose." "There can be side-effects." "Not always but..." "It happens." "If so, stop it right away." "What kind of side-effects?" "Rashes, hot flushes, itching." "I always have hot flushes, rashes and itching." "No Glytanose then." "It's happening again." "My chest hurts, I can't breathe..." "How about tuberculosis?" "Is that ridiculous?" "Ridiculous!" "No." "No regrets." "Yes, I have no regrets." "We had to part, so we parted but... you end up on your own." "You're there, shut up alone in your flat..." "Sometimes, you feel okay for a while..." "But then... it takes the slightest thing..." "When I see that couple over there, say, it hurts..." "I see people in love, sharing things..." "Has it gone?" "No!" "Is it biro or what?" "I don't know." "She had a full check-up, there's nothing wrong." "It's just exhaustion, the repercussions..." "She'll get over it." "The doctor told her she has panic disorder." "It's just nerves, nothing serious..." "Cheese or dessert?" "Just think, a unanimous commendation..." "I knew it." "That's not what I'm saying!" "Unanimous!" "Yes, right..." "Marc was there with his flowers..." "He's so sweet." "We sign for the apartment on Tuesday." "It's final now." "Tuesday?" "I bet you'd forgotten." "You're reluctant." "I'll have cheese to finish the wine." "Want some?" "Not a whole helping." "Get a bit of goat's cheese for me." "Goat's cheese..." "Excuse me..." "The cheese-board, please." "One cheese-board..." " Madame?" " Nothing, thank you." "A bit of camembert..." "A bit of..." "Munster!" "And some goat's cheese." "There's no goat's cheese, sir, I'm sorry." "What do you want?" "What do I want?" " There's no goat's cheese." " I'm not having cheese." "Nothing then..." "No need..." "Just the bill." "That's all." " I don't understand." " No, you don't." "I don't have a girlfriend" "I can talk to..." "Until the time when the monarchy became sedentary, under Louis XIV, tables, chairs, beds... were all carried from place to place, mobile furnishings..." "On this very bed, where the regent entertained half the ladies in the court, his wife... had her final... fatal illness..." "We'll stop now." "Sorry, I don't feel well..." "We'll stop." "It's over." "Camille!" "What's wrong?" "She's ill." "Can't you see?" "Tell them the tour's over." "The tour's over now, thank you very much!" "Are you all right?" "Sorry." "I'm going to throw up." "I shouldn't have, sorry..." "I don't know why I..." "I'm sick of it." "It keeps happening." "I'm so scared..." "I can't go on..." "What are you talking about?" "Bravo for your thesis..." "I don't give a damn about that." "I can't work or go out..." "I'm scared to go shopping." "I can't take any more." "Shouldn't you go home and rest?" "No, I'm meeting someone at the museum cafe." "I'll come with you, okay?" "Apparently, panic disorder is fairly common." "It happened the day of your viva." "That's odd..." "I'm no doctor but you might be a bit depressed, say." "Not at all!" "Depressed?" "Quite the opposite, I've ne ver been happier!" "I have e verything I want." "I have no problems..." "What a funny idea!" "Depressed..." "Why do you say that?" "It's not an insult..." "Of course not but it's so..." "What does your friend think?" "He says it's nothing." "He stays calm." "He's kind." "I'd better get to work." "My boss is anything but kind." "What are you doing here?" "I'm with a friend..." "What do you mean?" "You know Simon?" "Yes, he works for me at the agency." "That's why I'm surprised." "He works for you?" "You don't write radio plays?" "Is he your..." "You don't write radio plays?" "And I also work for your..." "I'll be going now." "The plays don't pay well, so I have to..." "I ne ver told you because I ne ver had the chance." "Do you know him well?" "So, so..." "He's quite a character." "What's wrong?" "You're pale." "One of those turns?" "Want a sugar-lump?" "So, my employee arrives half an hour late e very other afternoon because he's "chatting" with you..." "You're corrupting my staff." "Do you have that much to talk about?" "I don't know..." "We like talking together." "About history, I suppose." "One day, I told him:" ""You know, Simon, not only do you write plays..." ""you play at selling real estate too!"" "She isn't dead set against estate agents..." "It was like a nightmare." "Everything was so... absurd, incoherent... cold!" "Yes, I was cold." "If people had pointed and laughed, I wouldn't have been surprised." "I can imagine." "I left the cafe in a daze." "Camille with Marc Duve yrier, it's ridiculous..." "The y have nothing in common." "He has cretinous interests, he's dishonest..." "But I can't tell her that." "I'd look ridiculous." "It would look like bitterness or spite..." "Still, there are worse things... war, famine, unemployment..." "Yes, of course..." "Think of something else." "With time" "With time, e verything fades" "You forget the face You forget the voice" "The heart that no longer beats" "There's no need to keep looking" "Let it fade, that's the right thing" "A good friend" "There's nothing better around" "Yes, a good friend" "Is more loyal than a pretty blonde" "You spend, you lend, you mend" "Living e very second" "Troubles soon end" "When you have a good friend" "This one's nice, isn't it?" "It's quiet..." "It's bright..." "The price is reasonable..." "So, we could say..." "Yes, it's nice, I can't deny that..." "It's nice, very nice." "But?" "But, but..." "It's too big." "There, it's too big." "Maybe it's the state I'm in but..." "to be honest..." "I'm a bit disheartened." "You understand?" "My wife and children might not be coming." " Really?" " No, I'm not sure." "Why?" "Sorry, that's none of my business..." "No, no, it's all right." "There isn't a problem, e verything's fine..." "It's just..." "I spoke to my wife on the phone two days ago and she told me, quite reasonably, that until I get things sorted out..." "There's a lot to set up, it takes time, I can hardly manage..." "And so... until that's done, it's a bit stupid for her to come over with the children and all..." "See?" "It's a bit stupid." "How about studio flats?" "Do you rent those?" "Studio flats?" "So?" "Will our love become a diamond in the rust?" "I want" "The world to stop, I know it must" "You," "Would rather die than turn to dust" "Whate ver happened to our trust?" "I'm seeing my doctor in... three minutes, I'm late." "Are you ill?" "No, e verything's fine, that's not the problem." "Lord, what a bother Always feeling peaky" "I'm not well." "What should I do?" "For now, nothing." "Meaning?" "First, no more Neparil, that's my advice." "It's crazy to prescribe it." "I don't know how anyone can..." "Perhaps he's a good doctor but..." "He advised me to..." "When you stop the treatment..." "Let me explain, it's simple." "When you stop, your immune system weakens and so obviously the first bug around... is for you." "How can I tell who..." "If you want a friendly word of advice, take your box of Neparil and throw it in the bin." "You're not happy?" "The y're publishing it." "No one cares about yeomen." "As for Paladru Lake, forget it!" "Se ven years on something of interest to fifteen people!" "You disappoint me." "Sorry, but you disappoint me." "I'd be very upset if you gave up." "And father too!" "I'm sorry..." "I'll be frank, you're too self-pitying..." "Don't let yourself go." "It depends on you!" "You have to react and tell yourself:" ""I'm fine now," ""perfectly healthy, I'm happy, I'll think positive!"" "Convince yourself of that, things will soon get better!" "Don't get down like this." "I'm surprised." "Usually you're so active and determined!" "Other people have a thousand reasons to be unhappy." "Oh, great!" "The y're strong and brave and I'm not!" "I'm unhappy for no reason and that makes me e ven unhappier!" "Resist!" "Show the world you exist!" "Look for joy e verywhere" "Yes, spurn e very egoist" "Resist!" "She's in such a state..." "She has to pull herself together." "Don't you agree?" "She needs rest, she's already a little better." "Excuse me..." "I hate seeing her like that." "All those pills she takes for one thing or another." "I ne ver take medication." "Me too, just an aspirin occasionally." "I've had maybe one aspirin in the last ten years." "What about headaches?" "I ne ver have headaches!" "I don't know what a headache is." "I'm against tablets." "You've made a good deal." " I'm pleased." " You should be." "I can't wait to move in." "I'll throw a party..." "You must have a house-warming party." "Have some fun" "Go on the run" "Life can be so short" "Have some fun Don't be outdone" "Life is so short after all" "Okay?" "I feel a bit nauseous." "Want a sugar-lump?" "Another sugar lump?" "Why?" "It's not hypoglycaemia!" "Forget the sugar!" "You sit and wonder how to react" "To make the least impact" "Whate ver you do, it's always wrong" "You ne ver react as you should" "Look!" "Look, Camille!" "What?" "My God..." "That's not his wife!" "Do you realize?" "I'm not surprised." "Neither am I but e ven so!" "He had the nerve to say that he's ne ver unfaithful now!" "Eyes all ablaze" "Boys have just one craze" "For a losing game Looking under girls'skirts" "The y spend all their time" "From their youth to their prime" "On a losing game" "Looking under girls'skirts" "I saw you with a woman in a car." "Me?" "Of course not, your spitting image." "I said to myself:" ""He looks just like Claude!"" "That's funny." "I'd just seen Nicolas with his mistress..." "I was still in shock." "I saw lovers and mistresses e verywhere after that." "How many doubles do we have?" "Se ven?" "Se ven?" "I don't know..." "Filthy weather..." "I like it." "The wind, the cold, you know that." "You didn't answer, Nicolas..." "I didn't answer what?" "You haven't got anywhere." "I've told you, we're not going over it again!" "You've told me nothing, it keeps changing!" "Here we go..." "Let's talk it over calmly." "Have you heard about the job?" "Have you found a flat?" "Think I want to reply when you talk to me like I'm a schoolkid?" "You make me." "If you're here to tell me I don't do things right, it wasn't worth coming!" "If you're here to tell me what you hate about me," "I already know!" "I don't hate anything about you..." "I'm doing what I can on my own." "It takes time, you know." "I know that, I'm not stupid!" "But please stop lying to me." "You keep telling me it's sorted out, that things are almost ready..." "Just stop lying to me." "I don't hate you, Nicolas." "Listen to me..." "Why do you need to convince people that you're in control, that e verything's fine?" "Why don't you say:" ""I'm not up to it." ""It's not working out."" "Tell me." "I prefer to hear the truth." "Stop it." "I'd tell you if it wasn't okay." "If I belie ved you when you say it's all arranged," "I'd turn up here in Paris, with the kids and bags." "And then what?" "How can I count on you?" "Sure, don't count on me!" "I'm not the reliable type." "Stop it, Nicolas." "Know what the trouble is?" "You'd like me to be different..." "Someone else..." "That's the problem." "Well, too bad!" "I am who I am and that's it." "If you can't take that..." "Is that it?" "Yes, that's all." "The wrong attitude again?" "So?" "Will our love become a diamond in the rust?" "I want" "The world to stop, I know it must" "You," "Would rather die than turn to dust" "Whate ver happened to our trust?" "I'm going back." "I'll get the next train." "I can't stay here." "Thank Odile for the invitation but I don't want to go." "You tell her..." "whate ver you like." "I can count on you for that." "That was the final shot, you know" "In the last picture show" "And the curtain falls over the screen" "I'd have loved to come." "I don't want to." "Why?" "You don't know?" "I'd feel uncomfortable." "Pity, I'd have liked that." "Liked what?" "Seeing you there." "Seeing you there!" "But why?" "Why?" "I don't know..." "because we're friends." "I don't want us to be friends." "That's stupid, that's not what I meant exactly." "But there you are..." "I won't be coming." "I'm going to be the prettiest At the dance tonight" "Tonight" "Just to show that I'm the best And perhaps I might" "I might" "Tonight, I'll be the sweetest When you come to me" "To me" "And say the words I request" "Those words of love, you see" "You see" "What's that all the way... over there?" "I was wondering myself..." "Is it the Pantheon?" "Good Lord, no!" "The Pantheon!" "It's the trade union centre..." "I like the girls you see in Elle" "I like the girls in magazines" "The amazing thing about them is their serenity and independence." "We can learn from them." "The y'd teach us a thing or two, if only we listened." "And the y're so intelligent!" "Right, Camille?" "Dolphins..." "How does she do it?" "It must have cost her a fortune." "I don't think so..." "I don't know." "Are you a friend of Odile's?" "No." "Of Camille's." "Her sister." "So you're the estate agent!" "No, that's him, there." "Oh, I see..." "So you're a friend of..." "Odile." "I'm one of her colleagues from work." "Just a notch above her but well... that doesn't matter, we get on well." "A notch above, though..." "What do you do?" "I write plays for the radio." "There's no such thing now!" "I mean," "I thought the y stopped years ago." "Do people still do radio plays?" "No, no, I was just joking." "I'm an estate agent, in fact." "You're stringing me along." "That's a big part of an estate agent's work." "I've come to tell you I'm going away" "Your tears won't put it off another day" "Do you like raisins in taboule?" "Oh God..." "The y make it heavy, I find." "What am I doing here?" "If I leave now, I'll look like..." "You don't know anyone..." "No, I feel really uncomfortable." " Why did you come?" " I didn't want to." "But I came." "Oh, right..." "It's not simple, is it?" "Anything but." "Eat something, like me." "It keeps you busy, it makes you look unconcerned." "I eat all the time at parties." "I'll eat then." "This flat is gigantic." "How come it was so cheap?" "I'm telling you, it was a real bargain." "We had to decide fast." "Claude didn't understand." "Where is he?" "What's he doing?" "Is he at work?" "I suppose so." "I've come to tell you I'm going away." "All your sobbing won't make me stay." "I'm on the horns of a dilemma." "Meaning?" "This flat here..." "I know it." "Really?" "Fine..." "What's the dilemma?" "Bloody dolphins..." "What are you talking about?" "Apartments and..." "Have you found a place?" "No, but we haven't seen many yet." "Thirty or so..." "Thirty?" "At least." "We've seen quite a few then..." "A good friend" "There's nothing better around" "I'd love to congratulate you but I'm scared you might yell at me." "He takes endless lunch-breaks, he's forgotten ke ys for a couple of visits, so one day I blew up and told him:" ""Simon, not only do you write plays," ""you play at selling real estate too!"" "Excuse me..." "Sorry I'm late." "Work's so hectic..." "Feeling better?" "You look good..." "I'm okay..." "What's wrong, Camille?" "What is it?" "Lt'll soon pass." "Oh no, Camille, not again!" "What's wrong?" "Why do you keep crying like this?" "Is there something I don't know?" "What is it then?" "We shouldn't crowd around her." "She needs air." "It'll soon pass." "Yes, don't bother about me." "We have to, you're crying in front of e veryone." "That's depression..." "The doctor said that's what it was." "Has she eaten?" "Depression?" "Nerves?" "Why should she be depressed?" "Rubbish!" "Leave her alone and it'll pass." "Do you want to be alone a bit?" "I'm sorry..." "Don't be silly..." "It's starting again." "I can't breathe..." "Could we have a window open?" "There's a weight... ten tons..." "on my chest..." "Relax..." "You're all tensed up." "Wonderful..." "I'm sure she'll relax now." "I don't know what to do." "You'll be all right..." "I'm sorry... but I'd like a word." "Can I ask you something?" "That's my phone number..." "I bet you're glad you sold this one." "It wasn't easy." " Nothing unusual." " Still, it was hard." "What's wrong?" "Are you trying to say something?" "What wasn't easy?" "Say it clearly." "I am being clear." "We both know what's wrong." "Go on then!" "The view..." "What about it?" "That lovely view..." "All right, the view..." "What about it?" "That she's so fond of..." "Are you doing it on purpose?" "I can't press you on e very three words, try a sentence!" "You know about the building project opposite." "You didn't tell her." "That was a full sentence." "It's a project!" "It's nothing definite..." "So please mind your own business." "I heard otherwise." "Your insinuations and moralizing are getting on my nerves!" "I don't want to talk to you." "I'm in your way But you provoked me" "I'm in your way But I didn't come after you, see" "I'm in your way I'll hassle you for free" "I'm in your way But don't blame me" "One day, at the bus-stop, it came on like a dizzy spell." "All my strength's gone." "I feel as if I'm going to fall down and die on the spot." "I'm exactly the same!" "Does your heart beat fast and loud?" "Oh good Lord!" "All the time!" "And the contrary, when your heart just stops..." "Do you get that too?" "It could happen now." "As soon as I hear about an illness, I catch it." "Yes, so do I." "I don't." "I do, right away!" "This is unbelie vable!" "What you've described is exactly what I feel." "I've seen a ton of doctors, I didn't understand." "I was worried sick." "What a relief." "I don't know if it's depression, anxiety or panic disorder but I'm relie ved." "Come and talk in the lounge." "I always act as if I'm in control..." "Why do you need to convince people that you're in control?" "No chance of that now." "Do you know what I think?" "I prefer you like this." "It's really you." "That... is really you" "You can tell" "That... is really you" "You... you can tell you can tell you can tell it's you" "You can tell" "You can tell it's you" "You and only you" "You and nothing but you" "You and nothing but you" "Only you" "Want some?" "No, I don't drink, you know." "Just a drop..." "I don't like it." "I've had a drop of champagne." "Any more and I can't control myself, and I hate that." "When you lose control Even for a moment" "You not only lose control, You also lose" "What you imagine and then" "Hundreds of things you lose for good" "Beware, girl, and don't forget" "When you lose your head You lose the rest" "I have to tell you this..." "It's about your brother." "I'll be frank." "He slows the company down." "His personality is very..." "I know, I know..." "I can't say I'm surprised." "He's totally unreliable." "I feel better." "Shall we go?" "Where?" "Home?" "An early night would help..." "I'm not tired..." "Well, you felt odd..." "Are you depressed too?" "I hope so." "I was worried it was cancer or something..." "Pity your wife isn't here..." "What's the problem?" "It's silly, a tooth she didn't get seen to." "So obviously, her cheek's all swollen, she could barely talk..." "No, that's rubbish." "We argued." "She went back." "Because of..." "Because of me." "She found out?" "What?" "I don't know..." "The other woman..." "Not at all..." "Cut it out, I saw you." "You did?" "Where?" "Wednesday, with a blonde..." "A blonde?" "She's a client..." "A client?" "From the Ritz..." "She shops, gets her hair done, sees friends, then I drive her back." "She's all right, that one..." "She's no trouble." "Why do you do all that?" "It's my job." "I'm a chauffeur." "Well, when the y need me..." "But your business?" " That is my business." " My God!" "It's not that bad." "No, I mean, it's terrible..." "Resist!" "Show the world you exist!" "Can I use the phone?" "A hideous pile of dirty plates..." "What a terrible idea." "You said you liked it." "I did?" "That first time." "I remember." "Not at all..." "Don't you want the raisins?" "I hate raisins." "The y're full of energy." "The y'd do you good..." "Like all dried fruit." "I can't get used to it." "Why is that cretin here?" "What cretin?" "I put up with him all week, now I find him here." "It's not a very nice surprise." "That cretin happens to be a friend of mine." "Invite whom you like." "You said it." "What's up?" "Don't you like my mug?" "Is something wrong?" "Can't you stand it?" "The phone's not hooked up." "What do I do?" "Where's Odile?" "Have you got your..." "Thanks, very kind of you." "Of course you can invite whom you want."
