"There's a flat, darling." "You're forgetting the flat." "Yes, Mrs." "Not like that, darling!" "You must be sure your wrists are high." "Like I told you." "Now, the fingers must be like little hammers." "There." "Not like that!" "You must learn the proper fingering." "Otherwise you won't make any progress." "Well, I'm going to show you." "Now..." "Like this." "Your fingers must be like little hammers." "Understood?" "Now we'll play with four hands." "You're happy aren't you?" "Alright, have you turned the page?" "Let's see..." "You know it?" "Yes." "One, two..." "It's noon my darling." "That's all for today." "Now for the next time you must learn over to this measure here." "Be careful it's in the key of F, right?" "That'll be all until next thursday." "Thank you ma'am." "That's right." "And see you next thursday, right?" "Thank you ma'am, goodbye ma'am." "Bye my darling." "Aunt Zita, something's burning!" "Aunt Zita?" "Zita, you're home?" "Zita!" "What's the matter with you Aunt Zita?" "What's the matter with you?" "Dr. Zack please." "It's urgent." "Annie Perrate." "Bernard?" "Zita's lying on the floor." "She collapsed." "Mom is at school and I don't know what to do." "Yes." "Yes." "Come quick she's choking!" "She'll be fine now." "It's a stroke." "The right side is paralyzed." "She won't be able to talk." "I can't tell you how things are going to develop." "But there isn't much hope." "We have to wait, that's all." "She has a strong heart." "She's alright?" "She's quiet." "It's alright." "I'll get some sleep now." "Wake me up if there's any change." "Zita?" "Zita, what is it?" "Mom!" "Hello." "Hello." "So, my darling, did she sleep well?" "Coffee's ready." "Good." "I'll have a look, I'll be back." "And how are you going this morning, Aunt Zita?" "Do you recognize me?" "Aunt Zita? Darling." "It's me, Annie." "Anita." "How do you feel? She recognized me!" "I'm sure she did!" "She talked to me." "You musn't get over-excited." "I'll just have my coffee and then I'll take care of her." "I can't leave now." "She might need me." "No." "She's simply tired, she's going to sleep." "She doesn't suffer?" "Of course not." "We've given her too many sedatives." "It's impossible." "Maybe I can go to class." "Of course." "Go on." "I think foreign diplomacy is fascinating." "Travelling and position." "It takes you away from mediocrity." "Don't you think?" "Annie." "Wait for me." "Wait for me." "(Inaudible)" "Excuse me." "I must buy some bread." "Of course it's different for women." "A job abroad is a real problem." "Can you imagine?" "Maybe but I'm not making any career plan." "I'm not interested." "Paris is lovely, isn't it?" "Love and marriage too, right?" "I don't know if you realize but you're a jerk, Emanuel." "And you are very lovely." "By the way..." "You're coming to see my basket match?" "I'm in shape these days." "It's my last match before the exam." "You can't miss it." "Do you realize?" "Hello Annie." "Hello." "Oh my God, we forgot to tell you." "Don't come tomorrow." "Zita is ill." "Is that so?" "Ok then." "See you soon." "Always so sparse." "Aunt Zita is very ill." "Maybe she's going to die." "I'm sorry Annie." "I didn't know." "Call me when you want." "It's over?" "She's dead?" "Of course not my darling." "Go back to bed." "I'm afraid." "I'll stay with her." "I'm going to take her blood pressure." "Help me." "I can't find it." "You see." "Always the same." "When did you meet Zita?" "In Spain." "One year after the war started in April '37." "I went to their house." "(Inaudible)" "She lived alone or with dad?" "Alone." "She was taking care of the house." "Joachim was happy to see the family gathered at his home." "You can't imagine what a beautiful country it was." "Was dad fighting then?" "At this time he was mainly a politician." "In Barcelona." "When did you marry then?" "I had to go back to France." "Joachim wanted us to marry before I leave." "And then everything fell apart." "We didn't receive news anymore." "Your father was arrested." "And Zita?" "It was dangerous for her." "She was the sister of a well-known monarchist." "She hid for a while then she crossed the frontier." "I picked her up in '39." "In Argeles, in a refugees camp." "It was terrible." "We stayed together during the war." "Then dad stayed ten years in jail?" "Yes, ten years." "They were released after ten years." "Then you were born." "And you were two years old when he went back there and disappeared." "You make room for me my love?" "I went to sleep at dawn and I had no money left to take a cab." "Can you imagine that?" "What's wrong lemon face, you're looking at me?" "Don't start again." "Bad girl." "How much solirutine?" "200 drops by decanter, Dr." "Alright." "You can stop the antibiotics." "Annie, don't make so much noise." "(Inaudible)" "There's someone ill in this house." "And me, I'm not tired maybe?" "You let me watch her all night long." "I have school to go and it's not my job watching her." "I'm fed up!" "I can't stand seeing her like that." "She's not suffering." "You don't care." "You just pretend she's alright." "Zita." "Zita." "What's the matter with her?" "It's nothing." "She's on her nerves." "If she has trouble breathing give her half a dolosene." "Okay Dr." "Good bye." "You don't have lunch with us?" "No, I haven't time for that." "Thank you." "Hello Bernard." "Hello." "I'm sorry mum." "I think I'm going crazy." "So?" "If blood pressure don't rise there's no hope." "It can last." "A long time?" "2 days, 8 days." "Impossible to know." "Thanks." "I don't like your heads." "You will take a night nurse." "Hello?" "It's me." "She can't stand it anymore." "I'm asking you to take a night nurse." "It's kind of you Emanuel." "I will tell you if I feel like going out tonight." "Well..." "I'm sending you the nurse tonight." "Anyway..." "I'll be back at the end of the day." "Goodbye." "Goodbye Bernard and thanks." "You have to rest." "I swear that she's not suffering." "I gave her the necessary sedatives and there's nothing else to do." "Thanks." "But it's long." "Yes, it's long." "Goodbye." "She's suffering Miss." "She needs an injection." "You can't leave her like that." "It's too horrible." "It's only mechanic." "Your aunt is not suffering." "I'd like her to die." "She's not the same aunt Zita." "You're going out?" "Could you buy me some cigarettes?" "You want mine?" "I prefer Gauloises." "Without filter." "2 packs please." "You can take your time, don't worry." "Please Sir." "We're closed Miss." "I want some Gauloises and matches." "I told you we're closed." "Some fire then?" "In my time young girls didn't smoke in the street." "Thank you all the same." "You're starting now?" "No." "Not before 1.AM. I've got my red Lotus downstairs." "If you want we can do a three round game." "I keep your place on the track." "Ok I'm coming." "I'm coming." "Good evening Simon." "Good evening." "Hello Jacky." "Hello." "How is your Lotus going?" "Not great." "It's chasing in the end curve." "I've weighed her ass." "Now it should run smoothly." "You give me the red wheel please? Hurry up Simon." "You're late." "I'm gonna give you a beating you'll remember." "I've got one turn ahead." "You're dead." "One turn ahead maybe but I can still catch you." "The red!" "Put the red car on the orange track Miss!" "Put the red on the orange track!" "The other way round for God's sake!" "Thanks!" "Just a coffee please." "Sorry Miss." "At this hour drinks are served downstairs." "I'm waiting for someone." "I will eat something." "I recommend you the West Indian blood sausage." "It's ok." "Give me blood sausage." "I'll take the same." "And give us some scorpios too." "I'm sure you will like them." "You're together?" "No alas." "We'll make for the best." "May I?" "James!" "Here!" "James!" "Annie!" "I'm coming." "Hello Annie." "Hello James" "What are you doing here?" "I'm eating blood sausage as you can see." "(Chinese)" "People told me it was a funny place." "Very occidental." "Much fuss about nothing." "Why are you here then?" "Let's say I'm here as a sociologist." "And what are your conclusions?" "Always the same." "A childish atmosphere." "Exaltation and hypertrophy of the ego." "Look at them." "Isn't it laughable?" "To be alone on the finish line." "Mainly alone." "On the educational plan it means nought." "You have read Mao I guess?" "Only his poems." ""Long night in our skies so long to lighten up." "A century of demons, looking so light." "500 millions men deprived of unity."" "Is it good?" "Taste it." "Very sophisticated." "Poetry is revolution." "We must change the world Annie." "You've got to join battle." "In what army?" "Don't joke Annie." "These problems are also yours." "Let the past behind." "Dogs are barking, the caravan pass." "Could you introduce me?" "Well..." "Boniface Gratabou." "People call me Bony." "James Duvallier, haitian father, south french mother." "Pleased to meet you comrade." "You introduce me to her?" "Annie Perrate." "Mr Gratabou." "Youth is passing." "Think about eternal life." "Youth is passing," "Think about eternal life." "The world is full of surprises." "Think about eternal life." "Me little nigger, me can't read, Sir." "Me can't read because white fathers left me in ignorance." "You must learn to read." "You got to read." "This Book." "It can save you." "How do you know it can save us?" "It's about eternal life." "And what do you know about death, eternal death?" "And about suffering?" "The dribble, the death rattle..." "All this mess." "What's the meaning?" "Do you know what it means?" "The Book." "It's the consolation to every illness." "Really?" "When they have learned to read niggers prefer The Capital or the Kamasutra." "Stop your little number James." "You're ridiculous." "You're just a snob." "A parrot" "Nobody says a parrot nowadays." "They say a colorful bird." "No-one gives a shit about your skin color." "You're just a moron full of complexes." "Listen to me." "You two must think about eternal life." "That's enough." "Get out of here." "The world is full of surprises." "Think about it." "I'm coming back." "Youth is passing." "Think about eternal life." "There's no way to talk with a woman." "They're all silly and hysterical." "To understand women you must read the Book comrade." "Everything is in the Book!" "You think it's funny?" "Of course white masochists boys like to be cheated." "Don't get so nervous!" "Kitty, kitty." "Hey!" "Shut up, get away." "Get it! Stop it!" "Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!" "Don't kill it!" "Stop it! Stop it!" "No!" "Stop! Thank you." "Why did you do that?" "What did you say?" "Why?" "Why what?" "Why did you kill the cat?" "To eat." "Leave me alone!" "Let me go!" "What's the trouble here?" "It's nothing." "What do you mean nothing?" "It's you who ran away earlier." "Yes." "Why?" "I don't know." "I was afraid." "Afraid of what?" "Of us?" "Yes." "That's the last straw!" "And you what are you doing here?" "You're with him?" "No." "This guy was harassing you?" "No." "Come on." "Don't be afraid kiddo." "No." "I swear." "Why did you scream then?" "Because of the cat." "This cat there?" "A rat hunting a cat." "That's our night." "Come here." "Let me go." "I'm spanish and I've got my papers." "I've got my papers and my permit to work here." "We'll check that at the precinct." "Pick it up." "I don't want it." "Pick it up." "And me?" "Go home and stay away from this district." "Wait." "You didn't ask for my papers?" "Ask for her papers since she insists so much." "Well then...your papers please Miss." "I've forgotten them." "You really asked for it." "Come with us." "Yes Perrate that's her name." "She pretends that someone is ill at her place." "She gave us your number." "She was hanging around without papers." "Of course Dr. Of course I believe you." "But what proof do I have it's really her in front of me?" "It would be better." "Thank you Doctor." "Go and sit." "Someone is coming to pick you up." "Do you have cigarettes?" "Thanks." "It's your turn." "They will hold you a long time?" "They will hold you a long time?" "No." "It won't be long." "What are you doing in France?" "I'm working a lot." "Life is tough."

"He was blowing up bridges." "It's Zita who told me." "After that he was hiding and back at workvery ." "My father was very courageous." "You're talking about your father?" "Yes, my father." "I never knew him but he's handsome on the pictures." "The older I get the more I find he was really young when he died." "He died in Spain." "I don't understand." "No." "The ashtray is there." "Dr Zeck." "Good evening Dr. Sorry to bother you." "See you soon." "See you soon." "All this is not very serious Miss." "But at your father's place..." "I mean I'm old enough to be your father..." "You should not walk alone at night in Paris." "It will be soon 3.AM. The other night we picked up a young girl like you." "She had been raped and it wasn't a pleasant sight." "She couldn't stop crying but it was too late." "These people are not very interesting Miss." "Believe me." "They're dangerous and that's all." "Thank you for the tip Mr but you're not my father and if he was not dead he would be there in the cage." "So don't bother me with your preaching." "You make me want to vomit." "Come on, shut up Annie." "Why should I shut up?" "We must always shut up." "And watch people dying without making any noise." "I'm fed up!" "I'm fed up with good people and I'm fed up with cops!" "They are too many and I've seen them too much!" "Can I take her now?" "Come on." "Bernard I don't know why I said that." "Are you mad at me?" "What now?" "I'm taking you home?" "Where else do you want me to go?" "I don't know." "You're a big girl now." "What time is it?" "It's night time." "That's all." "Come on." "Come on." "I would feel better with a drink." "That's easy." "I couldn't stand staying at home any longer." "I know how difficult it is." "I'm afraid Bernard." "It's the first time of my life I'm so afraid." "It's a good sign." "Proof that you're aging well." "Where are you taking me to?" "In a club." "Don't worry." "It's a place with a very bad reputation." "It's alright?" "You're not hurt?" "I'm fine." "Don't worry." "Are you blind or what?" "Give way is not for the dogs." "You gave us a good bump." "Look who's inside the car." "A sheep!" "A sheep there!" "Shit." "It's Pilade!" "Pilade!" "And the no way sign?" "I know!" "There on the place." "Come here Pilate." "Come here." "That's it." "More on your right." "Good." "That's it." "That's good." "Beware!" "Beware! Come here." "Don't be afraid." "Get back in the car." "I'll turn around the block." "We'll try to nail it." "Here's the devil." "It looks so funny." "Stop here." "Beware Annie." "Come, come... Close the door." "You've seen it?" "It's in there." "Stay here." "I'll try to tame it." "Pilate my beauty." "All white and beautiful." "Come here, come here." "Say friend, what are you doing down there?" "Hush or you will scare him."

"No." "But it's name is Pilade." "Come on Pilade." "I was afraid when it jumped at me." "She did a nice toreador move." "Very personnal." "Poor sheep!" "It would be fun to let it run in here." "It would be much more effective yet than in St Suplice Church." "It would be dangerous for the sheep." "It's unealthy here." "It's toxic." "But it's not a sheep." "Sheeps don't have horns." "It's a ram!" "(Inaudible)" "Just between us." "I think he have strange habits." "Since I tell you it's my job." "Pilade is my champion." "It's me who conceived it." "Conceived?" "Your friend is one of a kind." "A coca please." "Not tonight." "It's forbidden by your Doctor." "Adrien." "Thanks." "Water?" "A lot." "You're crazy Bernard." "More water." "I like it." "It's of your age." "Good for the heart." "It's bad for everything but it's pleasant." "So you're a shepherd?" "I did high schools but I'm a shepherd." "It always surprises people." "It's a very poetic job." "Don't exagerate." "I like it because it fits my temper." "Pilade for instance has just won a first prize." "I chosed his mother and father and I fed him." "In a way it's me who put it to the world." "Thanks to him maybe we'll improve the stock." "That's how I conceive a well organized society." "You dance?" "Wait." "I'm really worried Bernard." "Don't you think it would be better for me to go home?" "There's no urgency." "I can make a phone call if you want." "And mum?" "The nurse will answer." "I will tell her to warn her." "It's you Yvette?" "You're not in bed?" "It's over Bernard." "She's dead." "Annie is not here." "Don't worry." "She's with me." "I'm coming immediately." "It's alright." "Nothing new." "A last drink and I'm going." "I have to leave too." "Please look after Annie for a while." "She needs to relax." "I'm thirsty." "I'm leaving you girl." "I have to be at the clininc at dawn and I must leave." "I'm leaving too then." "You can't do that to poor Bonny." "He's dying to dance with you." "Of course." "And the bottle is not empty yet." "Thank you Bernard." "You know how I love you." "Alright." "It's not a reason to follow me everywhere." "Well it's time to say goodbye then." "See you soon." "Goodbye everybody." "Your name is Annie." "You're studying chinese." "You're eating blood sausage." "You're violent." "And you forgot this at the restaurant." "You bought it?" "Yes." "To give it to you." "Apart that Annie who are you?" "I wasn't hungry." "I don't like blood sausage and I'm an atheist." "Is that true?" "I swear on the Bible." "We dance?" "You're a great dancer Bonny." "We're up to date in our countries." "Who's that old man you're calling Bernard?" "He's not old and he's wonderful." "It's him treating Zita." "Zita?" "Who is it?" "It's my aunt." "I have to go home." "Now?" "Yes." "Good night Bonny." "Good night." "It's your home?" "Someone's waiting for you?" "Yes." "Good night Annie." "Thank you." "You're more beautiful like that." "I'm taking you home Annie?" "Why?" "You're leaving?" "Yes." "I'm leaving now." "I have to bring my ram home." "Where are you going?" "Home." "In the Pyreneans." "Near Pau." "Come with me Annie." "It will be wonderful." "We'll do the fiesta for Pilade and for you." "You'll see." "It will be wonderful." "I will learn you to play rugby." "And I will learn the name of every one of your sheeps." "Montsegur is beautiful." "You know that place?" "I spent holidays there with mum and aunt Zita." "You're coming then?" "It's impossible Bonny." "I have to go home." "Goodbye Pilade." "I'm still waiting for a minute." "You need a fare Miss?" "Yes." "Wait." "It's closed." "Everybody left." "I'm the last." "But not the uglier." "Haven't we met before?" "Did you win?" "What?" "The run in three rounds." "Where did you go?" "I waited for you as long as I could but I had to left." "Where are you going now?" "At home." "Can I walk with you?" "It would be a good idea, right?" "I live outside Paris." "In Roubaix or Tourcoing?" "Not that far." "Great then." "I'm prudent now." "One day I met a russian girl without any accent." "I didn't take care but it took me 15 days to take her home." "It was ok until Leningrad but after that the road was very bumpy." "To come back I took the Transiberian." "Maybe you saw me on television?" "In the world travelers show." "You're right Dede." "She's a good looking chick." "I told you so." "I have the nose for girls." "She's too flat." "It's not for me." "You think it's a real gang?" "I'll take a closer look." "Don't play dumb." "Her man seems a real bad guy." "Are you kidding?" "He can't carry alone his baggage." "You're not afraid of fainting with that weight?" "Don't walk so fast." "We can't follow you." "Hey guys, I just finished my night's job." "I'm tired." "Leave the girl to us then." "We're on vacation." "Look at her tits She's not that flat." "Run!" "Flee!" "I'll give you a hand." "Attack my dog!" "Attack!" "In the car." "If we can't have fun anymore." "Scum." "Hoodlums!" "Dirty louts!" "Thank you Sir." "You should be sent to Vietnam!" "Old fool!" "They frightened you?" "Yes a lot and you?" "A lot." "It would make you mad if I was curious?" "Not at all." "What's your name?" "Isabelle." "Well, it fits you very well." "How old are you?" "In your opinion." "I don't know." "Twelve or thirteen maybe." "Buy you don't look that old." "How do you go home usually?" "I'm talking the line going to Sceaux." "Liar." "Your nose has moved." "Why would I lie?" "Indeed." "Why Isabelle?" "Can't you go faster?" "No." "I don't like speed." "True or false?" "What is true is that my car can't go past 80 mp/h." "It's odd for a sports car." "It only looks like a sports car." "Except that what are you doing in life?" "I'm learning chinese." "True or false?" "Beware." "No naughty words." "How do you say I'm hungry in chinese?" "Perfect." "Me too." "Do you see that restaurant there?" "It's cold in here." "Do you want to eat?" "Me I will take ham, saussage, goat cheese and a bottle of Beaujolais." "It's ok with you?" "Isabelle?" "What's wrong Isabelle?" "You know it's not that shameful to live in the Chevreuse Valley." "Of course it's not near the Lorenzo's." "Of course it'a problem so late in the night." "You can't miss the last train." "Good apetite." "In the morning?" "On an empty stomach?" "Why not?" "To what?" "To life." "That's it." "To life and to death." "I'm going to wash my hands." "And our coffees?" "Yes I'm coming." "Goodbye." "Leaving already?" "I must be at Gennevilliers before six o'clock" "See you later." "Sir!" "Sir!" "Please drive me to Paris." "Someone is ill at my place." "I must absolutely get back home." "Get in." "Thanks." "Miss." "Do you know where is the young girl?" "I think she left with Pierre." "Ask the boss." "Well, ok." "Give me the bill please." "She left with Pierre in direction of Paris." "A red cistern truck." "They just left." "Thanks." "200 francs please." "What's the matter with that moron?" "He's completely crazy." "Hey you!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Asshole!" "Lunatic!" "Some guys, I swear." "They should not be given a wheel." "What are you looking for asshole?" "You must be out of your asylum." "Stop it!" "Please stop!" "And you know him on top of it!" "I'm fed up with that monkey business." "I'm really sorry." "I'm taking her if she's alright." "I'm driving her to Paris." "As she wants." "You know this guy?" "So?" "You're going with him or with me?" "Why are you playing?" "I'm not playing." "I'm crying." "Why are you crying?" "Because you've been naughty with me." "I didn't want to hurt you." "So you've been a bad girl." "I'm not a bad girl." "It's true." "You don't look bad." "But I'm a liar." "Maybe that's what you mean?" "I live in Paris." "Oratoire Street." "What number?" "Eight." "Yep." "It's true." "Earlier at the restaurant I didn't know how to get out of there." "I was ashamed." "I told myself "he must think I'm crazy"." "That's why I ran away." "It's true that you're a bit crazy." "I'm not a liar usually you know." "I really lived in the country." "But it was a long time ago." "And then I really wanted to go to the country." "Stop talking beautiful." "You're sad." "Stop talking my sweet." "You're crazy." "But I like you." "You're a nice guy Simon." "Thank you Cecile." "My name is not Cecile." "It's Annie." "Is it really true?" "It's there on the left." "It's there." "It's my house Simon." "It's where I lived when I was a little girl." "When I was young I didn't want to leave the swing." "Zita made me eating here because I didn't want to come in the house." "Annie?" "Annie?" "Where are you?" "Annie?" "Answer me." "He had no reason to go back there but no-one could make him change his mind." "He always said while smiling :" "Nobody is an island." "Everyone is part of a whole." "So he finally went back there." "And he died there." "I'm a coward Simon." "A real coward." "Follow me." "You're coming?" "I stole from you." "Isabelle?" "Annie, it's you?" "It's over darling." "Zita has died last night." "I'm going to see her." "Zita!" "Aunt Zita!"
