"And the guy got bored, so God gave him a friend named Eve." "The girl made of spare-ribs." "Then what happened?" "They lived in a lovely garden where they ate apples." "They had children." "But one day, the lady ate some snake, and everyone argued." "Did Grandma tell you that?" "Yeah!" " Yeah?" "Did she tell you anything else about God?" "Where's God?" "Everywhere." "Why?" "He's inside us." "How many Gods are there?" "One." "How many persons in God?" "Three:" "Father, Son and Holy Ghost." "He sees a moose and aims for its" "Bumpkin of the village goes hunting."

"No, it's normal for P.R. work." "What's wrong with 9 to 5?" "Charlotte, wanna hose the drive like Grandma?" "C'mere, I gotta talk to you." "You need money?" " No, that's not it." "I thought we agreed: don't ever talk to her about religion." "I didn't!" "Don't lie!" "She knows the Catechism by heart." "Even Adam and Eve." " She wants to know." "Tell her the truth!" " She's only 5!" "You preached to me enough." "Now leave her out of it!" "Bye, Charlotte." " Bye." "I don't like arguing with you." "Go on, you'll be late." "Linda Faucher." "You don't do much to get ahead." "You skip interviews." "We're not stupid." "We check." "Well, I may have found you a job." "If you refuse," "I'll have to penalize you." "Then cut you off." "What's the job?" "Your file says... you worked at a playground." "This flea market in Laval is looking... for a mascot to circulate around the kiosks." "Like "Yupi"" "at the Olympic Stadium." "So you thought of me." "It's not permanent but it'd let you access the job market." " Whenever I see you, I wonder, are you singling me out?" "It's not my fault you gotta raise your kid alone." "No reason to live on handouts for 6 years." "Six years on welfare!" "Get it?" " How about some patience?" "I'll skip common sense and talk money." "Your 2nd penalty:" "$100 less per check, leaving you just $500 per month!" "Perfect." "Send me my $500, and keep the penalty." "Bye." "What?" " How many guests are there?" "About 15." "Nice people."

"I'm always at Grandma's while you work!" "Yeah, farm life is gonna be expensive." "You wanna move to the country?" " No!" "That'll do, little boss!" "I'm sick of catering to a kid." "Know what I do for you?" "I love you!" "You don't notice 'cause you're always whining." "Other moms work too." "But I work nights." "I promise I'll stop working soon." "We're together a lot." "Look what we did today." "Wasn't it a nice day?" "We had fun." "Yeah." "Sorry for yelling." "Still love me?" "Look at me and say you love me." "Whatever's necessary." "C'mere, creep, don't move!"

"Filthy scum." "We'll get in trouble." " So what!" "He's bleeding!" "Tilt your head back." "Looks bad, Ghislain." "The witness's statement was very specific." "I'd like to hear your version." "Let's have it, point by point." "Ghislain!" "I asked you a question." "No." "Whadya mean, no?" "Listen up." "You're a fool to think" "I'll play your game." "You're fully aware of what you did." "If you wanna play insane, fine." "Here's what I'll do." "I submit the indictment now." "You remain in custody until the hearing." "In court, your lawyer will ask for a psychological profile." "By the time that's done and you go back to court, you're looking at a full 2 months of custody." "On the other hand, if you open up and talk, it'll go much faster." "D'you know what you did?" "I've done nothing wrong." "I've lived peaceably in the same place 9 years." "I don't mix, don't make trouble." "Damn heartless lot." "Lazy jerks..." "I don't care how you live, what station you listen to." "I wanna know what you did and if you did it before." "I'm mixed up." "Tired." "You weren't so tired when you jumped her." "Maybe she didn't want it." "Ever think of that?" "You hear me?" "You know what you did." "If you want... you can write it down." "Just sum up what happened." "I'd like to sleep a little." "Yeah, that makes two of us." "Réjean." "6:13." "Interrogation terminated." "It's blasphemous." "Hellish." "They're hellish people!" "It's love in hate." "That's hell, sir." " Definitely." "The guy just kicked her." " Hope I never do." "Punches her face in, then wants to sleep with her!" "Ever think about that?" "It's in the papers." "He beat her to sleep with her!" "He beat his girlfriend because she didn't want to!" "Love in hate: hell." "Now we're stuck reading the headlines." "Anyway... how old are you?" " 19." "Well, it's important to know." "If you know this, you'll avoid a lot of pain and heartache." "If you understand these 2 aspects at 19, it's very liberating." "It frees you." "You'll find harmony, have an amazing life." "That's what I want." " Yes, and I hope you get it..." "Pretty unsettling, what happened to you." "It's out-and-out warfare here!" "Like nowhere else!" "Men against women, labour against management." ""He's ruling class." "He's working class..."" "Sorry." "He gets on my nerves." "There's nothing like the blues." "Listen." "Look at this." "Look." "See?" "They removed his cigarette." "Get up." "Took you long enough!" "Were you far from the buzzer?" "Another fag done in by a kid." "You shoulda seen the hotel room." "Sex gear everywhere." "I felt all funny when I went in." "Faggots are so fucked up." "I don't get it." "They had a whip!" "They got the guy who did it." "Seems he was half-naked too." "But check this." "He'll get out in 2 or 3 weeks." "Those kids aren't stupid." "They know they'll get off if they're under 18." "Am I right or not?" "Hey!" "What's your deal?" "Acting superior?" "Not a damn word, while we blab on like idiots." "You don't pick 'em up!" "Forget it." "You're no more talkative than the corpses." "Hang out with them." "Hello." "12:48 pm." "Start of interrogation by Lt. Detective Bélanger." "They told you we're videotaping this?" "Well, let's try to straighten this out." "You look tired." "Want a coffee?" "Not the bilge here, a strong one." "Jean, would you get us 2 coffees?" "I'm not the judge here." "Nor the jury." "My job's to verify evidence." "We'll do that today, together... and with decency." "Understand?" "You were found naked, on top of the victim." "I have a witness." "Now..." "I want to know exactly how it happened." "When did she arrive?" "1 :07 am." "What next." "Good start." "Hold that thought, I'll be back shortly." "Where's the coffee?" "It was God's will, we can't change that." "That's one view." "My job's to prevent incidents like this, but you must press charges!" "But I don't want to." "We're not used to lawyers and journalists." "We have pictures if you'd prefer." "I want to see her." "Not pictures." "Pictures lie." "I must see her." "1 :55 pm." "End of interrogation." "Suspect released at large unconditionally." "The victim's family refuses to press charges." "They want the case closed quickly and quietly." "That's their right." "I can't detain you indefinitely without charges, so you may go." "But I'd like to read you something:" ""It is a criminal act, carrying a penalty of 5 years incarceration, to perform any immoral or indecent act on a human corpse, or on human remains, whether or not inhumed."" "That's the law." "For the moment, there's no reason to build my case." "But if the victim changes her mind," "I'll re-open the case, and come after you." "If the authorities require," "I'll do a DNA test, and take samples of old autopsies with an unexplained presence of sperm." "Wherever there's a doubt," "I'll check whether you were on duty." "For the moment, you cannot contact the victim or change domicile." "You don't have to answer..." "If you were so hard up, why not go to a prostitute?" "I'm not a pervert." "Jean." "Until next time." "They find it strange we won't press charges." "It's not that I'm meek." "Far from it." "Linda's my only child." "When I saw her dead last night, it happened so fast, it didn't sink in." "I went home to look after Charlotte." "Watching her sleep, I felt dizzy." "Suddenly, I felt old, useless." "I just can't raise another child." "Then they called to say..." "Linda had revived." "Impossible." "It's not possible to see my daughter dead on a table, and an hour later, find out she's alive." "It can't be." "I waited so long for Linda, I never thought she'd go before me." "How could I resent you giving her back?" "I know how you revived her." "But if you hadn't, she'd be dead, in a fridge." "Not easy to accept, but that's how it is." "I must get over it with God's help." "People view what you did as a crime, but only God can judge." "That's why I don't want people judging you, if you were chosen by God." "I love her." "(Odious Felicity)" "It'll be fine, dear." "You'll get better, just like before." "I miss you so much, it's terrible." "I can't stop thinking about us." "I was thinking..." "I know what we need." "It'll be good." "Never thought I'd live with anyone." "Going to the zoo with your girl." "Going camping together by the sea." "Living like we've always been together." "Staying in town, doing nothing." "Do you have a cigarette- please." "She's sleeping." "She's your wife?" "Yes." "She's pretty." "Careful." "Fine." "Thanks." "Tell me..." "Is it really like a tunnel with a white light, and your life unfolds before you?" "Just the bad parts." "Well, what I heard is... you see a film of your life but in reverse." "I'm a thief." "As though... death re-encountered birth." "I never had a job." "I picked up guys and stole from them." "I died stealing." "You babysat Charlotte, while I went to work." "I justified it to support my child." "I lied to you, and to Charlotte." "And I ended up believing my own lies." "I couldn't stop." "I had to die." "Stealing's like any other job:" "40 hours a week, you get good at it." "Finally, it got too easy." "One damn vicious circle." "Hitting people up to buy a house in the country." "Now I have another chance." "I'll get Charlotte." "She'll be bored in daycare." "We're going to the country." "We'll never be apart again." "Never." "Shall we get some celery?" "Mushrooms?" "Since when do you like mushrooms?" "Yes?" "I came for my things." "Sorry, Mr O'Brien, but you can't come" "Forgo the formality and open up." "Wait!" "Don't be scared." "Sorry about the thing at the hospital." "I thought..." "Maybe we should talk." "We've nothing to say." "Things I'd like to understand..." " Well not me!" "You got some problem!" "And I ain't solving it for you." "Maybe you got a problem too, turning up at a morgue disguised." "What do you know?" "I discovered your secret..." "Okay, let's clear this up." "We don't see eye to eye." "You think we got something going - that this rape was fate." "It wasn't rape." "Just stop it!" "I can't stand it." "I think of you constantly." "Finished?" "Yes, but it didn't come out right." "Here, keep this." "You must be wrong." "That's not me." "So it's not mine." "Don't you think?" "It was on you at the morgue." "What do you mean by that?" "Blackmail, is that it?" "I play morgue with you, and you keep the passport quiet?" "It's Linda." "You're right." "We should talk." "You got a kid?" " No..." "But I'd like one." "I'm dead there." "You were wrong before." "I didn't rape you." "I eased you into it." "Stop the music." " Let me finish... please." "I took you into the big room." "It was like a hotel room." "It didn't matter where, being together was enough." "We listened to music, and it just happened." "No hesitation, no shame." "We became lovers." "You were so beautiful." "I wrapped myself around you, gave you my warmth." "I desired you." "There was such softness and tenderness within you." "I wanted to join you in death, but you met me in life." "You made the journey." "You came back and it all collapsed." "You love me." "Yes." "You became my life." "Come here." "Look." "I dunno what to say." "I'm not used to guys talking like that." "I'm rough." "Why not do it?" "I'm fed up, spinning my wheels." "I'd love to whack you but it won't do any good." "Let's make a deal." "Nothing happened." "You'll understand when I explain." "I don't remember anything nice from the morgue." "You think it was a honeymoon, but that was just for you." "For me it was just one long, bad trip." "The pain woke me up, not you." "I couldn't even feel you." "I hurt too much." "My head was killing me." "I just couldn't understand what was happening." "When I felt the weight of your body, I got scared." "I closed my eyes, but it was hurting my head." "It hurt too much." "So I opened them." "And... it was exactly what I thought." "Your hair was in my face." "Your fluid was dripping down my thigh." "I stopped wondering." "I just wanted it to be over, and you to get up." "You didn't move an inch." "You're heavy as hell." "I stopped squirming." "I waited." "Just like that, I started thinking of my daughter." "Her smiling face came to mind." "Cycling and laughing." "I wondered where she was, why I wasn't with her." "I was looking around everywhere for a phone." "I wanted to call her." "But I couldn't." "I wasn't strong enough." "All I could do was wait to pass out." "It took a long time." "I was suffocating, but conscious." "Understand?" "I wanted to slip away but I couldn't." "There's no love in that." "Forgive me." "The worst is, I wasn't afraid to die." "Losing my daughter scared me more." "Now I think... she brought me back to life." "Your body only woke me up." "I don't wanna think past that." "Only you know why I died, and why I want this over with." "I'm walking through that door, and you're gonna forget me." "Hello, Linda." "We met one year ago today." "I don't know how you are." "I hope my letter reaches you." "I wanted to write, but was too afraid." "Tonight I'm writing to tell you I'm well." "My life has changed." "I got a job at the bar near my house." "I like it." "I get paid to hear old folks recount their lives." "I suddenly made many friends." "This way..." "I'm not alone so much." "Less introverted." "I want to thank you." "I owe all this to you." "It's like you woke me up." "Without you I'd still be there." "That's it." "I just wanted to say thank you." "Bye." "Ghislain." "P.S." "I'm not expecting a reply." "Your life must've changed a lot too." "I'm sure everything's fine for you and your girl." "I like thinking about you." "I imagine you're happy."
