"The parole board has decided to release you on probation." "You're out?" "Yep..." "Sorry." "I didn't know." "That's okay." "9 months is a long time." "I know." "Let me explain." "Don't bother." "You're not leaving now?" "For 9 months, I jerked off, thinking of you." "You've no idea how well l imagined every part of your body." "From head to foot." "I swear... no woman was ever loved that much." "Off on a trip?" "No, I just got back." "Did you go far?" "Pretty far, yes." "I guess you missed that." "The best thing about a trip is coming home." "You said it." "Thanks for the welcome." "Hi, do you have a room free?" "May I join you?" "No." "Thank you." "I just have to say one word and you'll be out of here." "Shall I try?" "I like you." "That's kind of you but I've already heard that tonight." "I'd like to sleep with you." "You don't waste time." "Why would I?" "What are you after?" "A woman for the night?" "You'll only be disappointed." "She's already taken." "No chance." "I'll chance anything tonight." "Hello, can I get breakfast?" "I know it's late." "So?" "Don't turn round, I'm behind you" "Are you going far?" "As far as possible." "Maybe I won't follow you then." "I'm heartbroken!" "You threw those stupid notes?" "Yes." "I knew it." "I could have found you attractive, 1 0,000 years ago, on another planet." "If I weren't me and you weren't you." "A fine romance." "It's not my day." "Hi, Felix." "You should have said, I wouldn't have made so much mess." "Don't leave felix alone." "He gets bored." "Looking for something?" "I don't know..." "A few records." "Which ones?" "What do you like?" "Why?" "I'm sure our tastes are different." "Precisely, your tastes interest me." "Fine..." "You've asked for it." "I like so many, but moreover my tastes change every year" "and from morning to evening." "You're complicated." "Very." "You really like all these?" "Lots are missing, I'm out of stock." "I'll take these for now." "If I like them, I'll be back." "Sure!" "It was hard reaching you." "Who is this?" "Your favourite customer." "You'll never reach me easily." "Let me buy you dinner." "I'd like to." "I really said no." "You're wasting your time." "What else can I do?" "What are you doing on my balcony?" "Not a lot." "There's not a lot to see." "How did you get up?" "I climbed." "You can't stay there." "That's what I was thinking." "I'd better come in." "To leave, I have to come in." "Why climb up if you can't even get back down?" "Getting up was tough enough." "I'd rather stay." "Go on, get out of here!" "I'm tired, I want to go to bed." "Go ahead, don't mind me." "I'll just settle down here." "Now, get out or..." "You'll call the cops..." "To tell them what?" "A guy climbed up to your balcony to sit on a chair?" "I'm sure they'll be interested!" "Want me to hit you?" "No." "Get out then!" "That's a pity..." "Just as I was getting to know you." "You're really..." "You're not bad either." "Can you close the window?" "There's a draught." "Come on in." "I was fine." "I knew you'd break down in the end." "You're ridiculous." "Thomas." "What?" "I'm Thomas." "I don't like it." "You'll get used to it and then you'll like it." "Does this act usually work?" "Maybe. I never do the same one twice." "Where's the sugar?" "There isn't any." "It's bitter." "That's life!" "Put your cup there." "Are you in a hurry?" "You've found a way to live without working?" "Patent it." "I prefer sugar." "Which way?" "That way." "Good, we're not likely to meet." "You never know." "The earth... is round!" "Yeah, sure." "Just get off my back!" "I'll buy you lunch." "I haven't time." "We won't go far." "Come on, get in." "is this car yours?" "No, I borrowed it." "I'll cost you a fortune." "What do you do, Thomas?" "Nothing." "I inherited." "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "I wonder why I'm here." "I invited you, remember?" "Yes, but I can't understand why I accepted." "I don't know you." "You do!" "I'm Thomas." "We even spent the night together." "I'm not sure we're made to get on." "That will give us something to talk about tonight." "Good-bye." "See you later." "What the hell are you doing here?" "Waiting!" "How did you get in?" "Did I leave the door open?" "Doors are no problem for me." "The problem is girls who stand me up." "Why didn't you come?" "I guess I didn't want to, okay?" "No." "Because of you, I arrived late, I got yelled at and I was sloshed and the afternoon was a mess." "Champagne..." "No, it's your fault!" "I didn't ask anything." "You're everywhere, on my balcony, at my work, and tonight on my bed!" "Shall I go right now or do you want me to wait a bit?" "Neither one nor the other." "Just go!" "You're no fun tonight." "There's something I don't get..." "Can I see you again?" "I don't get why you won't give up!" "Good question!" "I've brought them back." "is that all you could think of?" "I've no hi-fi!" "You should have thought of that." "In any case, I don't like the sleeves." "I'm sorry, but we can't take records back." "Too bad." "You know why I like you?" "No!" "I like your ears." "For me to like a man, it takes two things." "One already." "What's the other?" "I don't know yet." "If you find it, I'll marry you." "Think hard." "I'm right behind the door." "May I come in?" "What is it?" "Probably the only thing we agree on." "Am I dreaming or are you pleased to see me?" "No..." "You're not dreaming." "But you threw me out yesterday." "That was yesterday." "And what's so different tonight?" "Tonight... I'm going to make love with you." "Can you dance to this?" "It's not easy." "But it can bring us closer together." "Why tonight?" "Don't you want to kiss me?" "Don't say no, no one will believe you." "How can you tell?" "There's something there, a sparkle in your eye." "I'm almost embarrassed by it." "You're a weird girl." "Weird, maybe..." "But to be fair I must warn you... I'm not an easy catch." "Thanks, I had realised." "No, you don't understand." "I may be full of contradictions but I know what I want, you see?" "No, but that's okay." "It might not be, for you in any case." "I'm telling you that if I fall in love, I won't be able to stop." "If you just want a one night stand, you're in for a surprise." "You want me to go?" "No!" "You want me to stay?" "I don't know." "Shall I sing a serenade on the balcony?" "I knew it." "I'm not very gifted." "What are you gifted for?" "I don't know." "Making little girls cry." "Mad at me?" "I'm doing alright." "I started on the balcony, then a chair, now I'm on the bed." "I'm making progress all the time." "If you need me, you know where to find me." "Good morning." "I found some sugar." "Always in a hurry." "A society that sends girls like you to work so early isn't a fair society." "Last night, you were more personal." "A society that sends you to work." "is that better?" "Yes." "Hello, Mr Chopard?" "It's Lea." "I'm calling to say I can't come in today." "I'm in bed with a high temperature." "Yes." "Fine." "Thank you, Mr Chopard." "Good-bye." "I hate lying." "Some oysters?" "I don't know." "Lobster?" "Too expensive." "Hi, Felix." "Your master's pretty dumb, he didn't even change the lock." "Okay?" "He thinks the postman never rings twice." "There was a ring last time." "A fish biting its tail." "Remember?" "Can't you tell me where it is?" "There's a god for cats." "He must be the same one for cats and burglars." "Who's it for?" "For a beautiful girl." "It was tough getting her but I guess it'll be even tougher getting rid of her." "What would you do in my shoes?" "I came to bring you this." "Come in." "You stink of drink." "Who were you with?" "A friend?" "A friend!" "I haven't got any friends." "Except for Felix." "You should keep away from him in the future." "Who?" "Felix?" "He drinks milk and doesn't give a damn." "And he's right." "It was time you met me." "I'll put some order in your life." "Would you do that?" "Yes, I'll sacrifice myself." "The trouble is, it's over now." "That's what you say, kiddo." "Fish biting taiI makes ring" "You're awake?" "Earlier on, you said some horrible things." "When?" "When you were drunk." "I wasn't drunk." "Really." "What's going on?" "I'm clearing off." "I'm ready." "You won't get rid of me that easily." "I'm going with you." "What are you doing?" "Isn't it obvious?" "If someone turns up, whistle." "Thomas!" "The alarm." "Yes, I can hear it." "Here, catch!" "What can I do with it?" "Add, subtract, square roots..." "The square root of your stupidity!" "You risk your hide for shit like this?" "!" "That or 40lb machines!" "You jerk!" "Why did you come back?" "For one last quick one?" "Come on then." "Come on!" "I came to tell you I'm sorry." "I didn't realise how important you'd become." "If you want me, I'll stay." "For good." "Had a good day?" "No mistakes in the take?" "Chopard sharpen his pencils well?" "A bad day." "The totals sharpened the pencils and Chopard took the take." "Chopard, a crook?" "You can't trust anyone." "I'm watching you." "I can, can't I?" "What is it?" "The chef's surprise." "Or perhaps a surprise for the chef." "Following a recipe?" "It stopped following me." "For me?" "Who else?" "I bought it... with your cash." "You can tell, it's just fake." "is this fish or meat?" "Duck." "Wild duck." "is it that bad?" "I've never eaten anything so disgusting." "Try it." "My duck didn't fly this low." "Give me a break with your duck, it was inedible." "Reductions for the blind?" "No." "Want a ticket anyway?" "I'd like steak and fries for myself and wiener schnitzel for the kid, please." "Sorry but we don't do food here." "I heard this was the only cinema that did." "You were lied to." "I've got ice-cream if you want." "It's good." "Want the purse or the woman?" "Her purse was stuffed full." "I don't just want to see you in prison once a week." "What can I do with my hands?" "Caress me." "You're with me for life." "is that right?" "You're a whole harem on your own." "I'm not wasting my time." "Get a move on!" "She did that to me?" "!" "Coffee..." "Are you okay, kiddo?" "I was dreaming." "About what?" "You brought me coffee in bed." "You see, I fulfil your every desire." "My dream didn't stop there." "I can imagine!" "So, fulfil my desire." "Hey, come on, stay here!" "What are you going to do today?" "Think of you." "And then make plans." "I've got to readapt myself." "What I need... is a job that will call on my talents." "Anything particular in mind?" "No." "The toughest thing now is leaving." "Hello!" "What are you doing here?" "Don't you recognise me?" "I haven't forgotten you." "Close the door." "I'm glad to see you again." "But I see the feeling isn't mutual." "You said it." "Direct, brutal, not the slightest subtlety." "That's just like you." "She's pretty." "What do you want?" "Guess." "I don't like riddles." "And I don't like thieves." "Does she like them?" "I want to know something." "Did you plan to rob me or did it come to you later?" "I never saw you, not the other night, nor today." "Tell that to the cops, I'm sure they'll believe you." "Has it all come back to you?" "I don't have your bracelet now." "I gave it to a girl." "Your girlfriend?" "No, some girl I don't know." "Sorry, I can't buy that." "I'll try to find her again." "Just trying won't do." "Get it back." "I won't make it easy for you." "I followed you the other night for a look like that." "It's dumb, huh?" "You're there, kiddo?" "Don't switch it on." "What are you doing in the dark?" "I'm thinking." "Careful, that can be dangerous when you're not used to it." "Problems?" "Yes." "When you leave, it all falls apart." "People get nasty, the hours run on forever... I mean, I get bored." "If anyone's nasty to you, I'll beat them up." "You like me then?" "You could say that." "Do you think a woman could find me attractive?" "Anyone could find you attractive." "Why do you ask?" "In the store this afternoon, this woman kept looking at me." "She didn't buy anything, but just asked stupid questions." "She was examining me..." "My father's a great guy." "He spends his life in the fields." "He doesn't say much." "3 sentences mean major upheaval." "I hope you like animals, he breeds them." "I like cats." "The two men in my life are crazy." "It's amazing how tough it can be to move forward sometimes." "I'm sorry, Thomas, but I just can't." "That woman will find you again." "At my father's or elsewhere." "I don't want to wake every day, wondering if you're still there, if they haven't come to fetch you..." "That woman will never let you go!" "I know because I'd do the same in her shoes." "I'd rather you weren't in her shoes." "I'm letting you down, huh?" "I'm not up to it." "Don't talk bullshit." "You're the one who's right." "I just want us to live in peace, to have a quiet life." "What's going to become of us?" "I never told you I Ioved you." "At first I had a good excuse." "I didn't love you." "Now, I have no more excuses, so I can tell you." "Take care of yourself." "Remember me?" "I always remember." "Same as last time?" "Maybe you..." "Why maybe?" "You surely remember a young woman." "Dark hair... I warned you off her." "I should have listened." "Has she been back?" "I'd only seen her here once, two years before." "Come back in another two years." "You might strike it lucky." "You could try the classifieds..." "She was with a guy." "Do you remember how they paid?" "Right..." "Right... lt's about a burglary..." "No, my place has been burgled." "He'll be here any second." "What I'm about to say may seem pathetic... I have to get the bracelet back." "It is pathetic." "It's strange, it looks like nothing was stolen." "I'm not likely to forget you." "Take it." "Why didn't you request a discharge?" "I tell you, it's not possible." "Your friend's a repeat offender and he's admitted everything." "Don't worry, it'll be okay." "What does that mean?" "6 or 8 months or even less, with release after three-quarters." "And if it's not okay?" "Prosecution wants 2 years." "We find you guilty as charged and sentence you to 1 6 months with effect as of now." "You mustn't come back, Lea." "I've nothing to say, nothing happens here." "If that's what you want." "You'll feel that you have to smile and be happy." "I'll sulk all the time and tell you how bad things are." "Don't write to me either." "It's not worth it." "Okay, I won't write to you." "I bet you won't!" "Am I allowed to think of you?" "As little as possible." "At the best, I'll be here a year." "A year's nothing." "Just 365 days..." "and 365 nights." "I say screw time." "Father Time's a smart guy." "He knows how to put things to rights." "Don't make me any promises." "One day, you told me the earth was round." "Here, it's square or rectangular." "It's not round at all." "Maybe you're right." "Perhaps in a few months, I'll forget the colour of your eyes." "And maybe I'll end up thinking that Thomas is an ugly name." "Maybe I'll marry Chopard." "At least you'll see him more often than me." "Thomas!" "Nothing to say?" "I hope they haven't made you totally stupid in there." "Lea..." "Go on... lt was a good start." "You're more beautiful than in my dreams." "I expected you to say:" ""Hey, are you still here?"" "You're getting better." "I dreamed about you last night too." "I even yelled at you." "What had I done?" "Nothing serious. I just yelled at you for the hell of it." "This is my father." "He wanted to meet the cat specialist." "I'm sure we'll get along." "Morning, sir." "I can't wait to see that." "Subtitles:" "Ian Burley" "Subtitling:" "C.M.C."
