"I broke an egg" "How pale the setting sun is, my Lord" "All nature's pitiable tonight" "Good tobacco, good beer" "Good tobacco, good beer" "You must be bored, Spark" "No, why do you say that?" "No, why do you say that?" "I..." "I don't understand this" "Ah, the solitude in the soul of man" "Drink to forget..." "All such nonsense" "Right you are" "Quiet, that's enough" "What a miserable thing is man" "Unable to leap from a window without breaking a leg" "Don't want to see the play?" "Oh, the theatre." "I'd rather stay and watch you" "Give me a glass of cider" "How old are you?" "18 next autumn" "You want one?" "No thanks" "Come closer." "Do you like it here?" "I won't eat you" "Julien was good, wasn't he?" "Yes" "Go ahead... don't just stand there." "On stage, quickly" "There, that's your place." "Get closer" "My God, it's Mathieu" "Tomorrow or perhaps later, you depart for Mantua and with you your wedding gown" "Why should I hold ill feelings for you?" "I have no reason to desire your death" "Maybe fate will reveal it to you" "Maybe fate has revealed you" "I can elude it no longer" "Him, I understand" "Silence" "Should I not put you out the door?" "Me?" "No, that's the line, say it" "It's the child of misery" "Will you be quiet" "I'll put you to bed" "I cheated on you but you don't know who" "Yes, I do" " Bet you can't imagine." " I know..."

"Go ahead, slap me" "Take that" "Go to bed and sober up" "You did it on purpose, didn't you?" "Is it your plan to make me your confidant in tragedy?" " Madame..." " What's the matter?" "The Mayor... the Mayor is here" "Please don't send me away..." "It's so amusing here" "Look, your governess arrives, pockets bulging with mysteries" "I'll be damned!" "Is it quite the moment?" "Madame, I truly hope that" "I couldn't care less, believe me" "Look, the Mayor is here." "He's barged right into the party" "Please kick him out" "I'll need a pair of scissors;" "Don't rip it." "Calm down" "Bravo" "I'm not the star, she is" " I'm honoured." " Delightful" "Mathieu" "You were splendid." "I assure you, you were" "I'm glad, thanks, but I'm really not used to doing this lf you wanted to, you could go far" "Go where?" "I'll explain later." "I'll see you in the park" " Julia, will you do me a favour?" " Yes, what?" "No, I won't." "No, please." "It was a present" "They're fakes" "I don't care" " You'd better do it anyway" " No" "Here you are." "The jewels of the family" "No, Madame, it's too much" "Take good care of them." "A queen has worn them" "Poune, you're the leader" "Come, mama, come with us" "Not at my age" "You're young, mama, come on" "I can't go on" "Sure you can" "Mama, you alright?" "Yes" "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "I'm alright" "Go on, join the parade" "You, you detest all of them - that right?" "You would like to see them all dead" "Yes." "Are you psychic?" "No." "I'm not a mind-reader or anything" "At your age, you have emotions you can't control and pity always comes too late" "I won't be like that, I swear it" "I'm already a monster" "My soul, if you saw it, would be as black as coal at night" "It's entirely too soon." "It's transparent" "Yes, crystal clear..." "and light..." "like a bird" "I'm sorry, you haven't seen Mathieu?" "No" "Do you know the legend of Tristan and Isolde?"

"It's my brassiere, Madame Tristan" "What's going on?" "Why are you going?" " It's war." " What?" "War's been declared" "Have you heard?" "Yes... what happened to Clementine?" "She fainted" "You returning to Germany?" "Why?" "To make war on us" "I'm too old for this silliness" "I'm not old enough" "Then, my young friend, we two are very lucky" "Lucky?" "Of course, you'll see" "It's sweet to die for one's country of old age" "It looks like this'll be the last one" "It's time to go." "Well, goodbye" "You'll have plenty of work now" "Try to stay awake" "Don't, you'll scare us all" "Let's go, back to work" "Don't catch cold" "Don't try to be a hero" "I promise to be a coward" "Don't do that, Mademoiselle" "It's all right, leave it" "Personnel may now return to the kitchen, thank you" "I'll be crazy with worry" "Don't pout, I'm off to the station." "I'll be back" "And be careful of the Germans" "There you are." "Be good to Mama and your sister" "Sure, I know" "Wait a second" "You too." "You going to see Hitler?" "I might, who knows?"

"she doesn't like it" "Tough piss" "Never mind, do your homework" " Haven't got any." " What?" "All my teachers've gone to war" "Really?" "Well, we'll see about that" "Can I be of help?" "Careful there." "Feed the chickens" "There's some grain in there" "You'll allow me?" "By all means, Professor" "Where's Mathieu?" "In the woodshed, finishing his night" "It hurts" "I'll show you the best way to take care of it" "Feel it?" "It's balm from my heart" "Our Justine's a pretty girl, no?" "Come on, nobody's working." "You're not at a golf party" "Julien, come walk with me?" "Not yet, we're not finished" "Ha!" "Finished?" "It'll be a while" "This war's getting off to a great start" "Look at that bundle" "Mama said to see you." "I got a sunburn" "I'm not surprised the way you were working on the haywagon today" "Go on, stretch out over there..."
