"UNDER THE SKY OF PARIS" "UNDER THE SKY OF PARIS FLOWS THE SEINE" "Heart of Paris For who are you beating?" "For those riding a coach?" "Those rising early Those staying up late" "Those dreaming or those working?" "You're sleeping along with the Seine" "You're beating for those in love" "Often beat up Always smitten" "Listen to the heart of Paris!" "Stash your tune away and be quiet, dear." "Paris is sleeping." "Paris is sleeping in the Seine's arms." "For the 800,000th time, maybe." "These two are something." "The Loire is quiet pretty, though." "Anyway." "Paris is sleeping." "And Parisians are dreaming." "From Belleville to Bagatelle, from the Butte-aux-Cailles to Passy." "From the Place de la Nation to the Opera, et cetera, et cetera." "Parisians." "They have no idea." "They have no idea that meanwhile, Fate has something for them, and is honing her wheel." "That she's going hither and thither, pointing out those who will be on Fate duty tomorrow, those whose destiny will be sealed within the next 24 hours, and whose ways, hitherto diverging or parallel, will meet all of a sudden," "intertwining, merging until they are only one." "Let's follow her!" "it's her round." "Fate, she fixes everything up." "Everything but this." "The pearl-gray dawn is beyond her grasp." "She can't do anything for or against her." "The sun rises." "The comedy begins." "Curtain!" "That old player, that hopeless night reveler, the alley cat went through every trash can." "They are his night clubs." "He's telling his amorous exploits to the cats held jealously prisoner by the old lady from the 6th ﬂoor." "She loves her cats so much, the old lady from the 6th ﬂoor." "Fate takes us there, in the outskirts." "The plant is on a silence and stillness diet." "What's up?" "Two weeks ago, machines were running fine, there was roaring, quivering, banging, it was alive!" "Now something struck it still." "By a strike." "ll only look a bit of unwillingness, a lot of misunderstanding, and there:" "no settlement, but a sit-down strike." "The wheel is spinning." "For who?" "For Hermenault Jules." "A peaceful man, he was in two wars." "He likes it when ifs quiet, he's got four kids." "All of them married, except the youngest." "He also sports a good mug, with many worries behind." "Without this damn strike, he could have rested on his Saturday." "What a life!" "He would have been fishing with his friend Lambollé Etienne, another guy from Menilmuche." "Ménilmonlanl, where blue flowers grow between cobbles." "Ménilmontant:" "your turf, Chevalier Maurice." "Your song, Trenet Charles." "Your dog, Lambollé Etienne." "Lambollé (Etienne, Fatty to his friends." "Sees himself as a fisherman, but fishes see him coming." "They have fun watching him fishing." "Lambollé, gudgeon buffoon." "Lambollé, a nice guy... without a destiny." "In Montmartre, birds are talking about the news and the sun rises late, like a" Montmartrians." "After all, better stay in bed than getting up when everybody's sleeping." "Rue de I'Abreuvoir, silence says plainly what sleeping is about." "Don't wake up the tenants of this house." "All of them artists!" "1st ﬂoor: the Tibules, tap dancers with Freddie on drums." "2nd floor:" "French Canaan familiar, Emmanuel from the Concerts Lamoureux." "In the lofts over the courtyard are painters and ballet masters." "Here..." "So I!" "is today that Mathias the sculptor knows his star, whether lucky or unlucky." "Tossing up for your star..." "To know... to know..." "To know if you're talented, and why you're tormented, and how you're distressed." "He's someone, Mathias." "But who?" "Are these faces he kneads the face of his soul?" "Fate ﬂees from our question, she darts across Paris and we catch up with her on Rue Mouffetard." "This is the time when Malingret, king of greengrocers, is coming cheerfully home from Les Halles." "With the gorgeous Romaine and the disdainful Chicory, pretty strawberries and nice cherries, cherries here, cherries there!" "Oh, sorry." "I just can't help it." "Back up there, up under the roofs, with the cats of the old lady from the 6th ﬂoor." "Let's listen to her." "If I could feed you only with fresh air, everything would be fine." "Bu!" "2 liters of milk..." "That's 64 francs." "And it'll be two weeks before I get my pension." "I'll find these 64 francs for you lot." "Just wait for a bit." "Yes, yes..." "I know." "I'm hungry, too." "But I won't eat if you don't." "I promise." "I'll get it for my hungry babes." "I'll be back." "Here I go." "That's some funny times we live in, leek costs almost as much as asparagus." "Honestly!" "Would you have something for my pets?" "Do your cats like salad?" "Would you have 64 francs to give?" "Sorry, Miss Perrier, but your bill has been adding up for a while now." "Excuse me." "Poor lady." "That old crackpot and her cats." "She's a pain in the neck." "Ain't there anything more interesting than cats?" "Well?" "The plant livens up." "As papers might say: funnily enough, it's always the same who go on strikes." "It's funny indeed..." "You never see the board of directors go on a blotters strike and stop work to claim an increase in capital." "Seems your blow-out is done for, Pops." " Looks like it." " That's some time to party!" " What for?" " His 25th wedding anniversary." "25 years?" "You're not easily put off, are you?" "The strike's going on because of him, since he knows how much his party's gonna cost!" " Hermenault, your kid's at the gate." " Is he?" " Hi, Dad." " Hello, lad." "Well?" "It's a dead-end, negotiations failed and the strike is going on." "No..." " It was due to stop this morning." " Well it's not." "That's mean." "What about the meal ordered a!" "Milou's?" "We'll have to tell him it won't do." "Why the long face?" "I'm kinda mad." "Especially when I think of..." " What?" " The gifts." "Mum's been dreaming of a sewing machine for 7 years." "We'll give it to her tomorrow." "That's not the same." " I'll go and cancel, then?" " That's it." " And I'll tell the others." " All right." "Bye, Dad." "Bye, lad." "Hey Dauber, you're not on strike are ya?" "Lambollé, followed by his master, is going to get hooked by fishes." "Do you mind?" "That's my job." "I'm sorry." "Hold it tight, you squint-eyed!" "Can't you see I'm gonna fall?" "B..." "B?" "That'd be old Brépian who passed away." "Eighty-eight is not that old..." "It's the midwife!" "Well, that makes things even." "One has lived, the other is going to." "Neither suspects what awaits them." "Bu!" "here, we have hope." "We have hope in all languages, O University!" "We hope in English," "Swedish," "Spanish," "Armenian," "Chinese," "German, and Japanese." "Here, we fraternize." "Here, the universe does not cringe." "And man proves that he's made to live in society." "We weren't so sure." "It's your turn, Georges Forestier!" "George Forestier, temporary intern at the Hotel-Du." "A brilliant subject, subject to shyness" "He can lose it over anything." "He has already missed three times the infamous entrance examination." "Today is his last chance, no wonder he's so stressed out." "He wants to get there so much." "Get there." "He got here in a station like this, on a day like this." "Georges Forestier." "Nice girl!" "No wonder Fate noticed her." "First glimpse of Paris for..." "Denise Lambert." "Denise Lambert, 20 years and 6 days old." "Fresh from her province, unconscious and graceful, with her pretty face and bagfuls of smiles." "And a headful of little preconceived ideas." "Denise is coming." "Taxi!" "She'll get over it." "Please try me lady, I haven't had a single customer yet." "But this is my friend Denise!" "You know me?" "Everybody knows you!" "Give me your stuff." "Gosh!" "Where are we going, Miss Denise?" "13, quai de la Tournelle." "Go, Kazoo!" "Nice horse you have there." "You bet!" "He's a race horse." "Baron de Rothschild gave it to me because he had frostbites." "The baron?" "No, Kazoo." "So he gave it to me." "That's wonderful." "This kind of things only happen in Paris." "Certainly." "Here we are." "13." "A lucky number!" " What do I owe you?" " For you, 120 francs, Miss Denise." "Miss, listen to me!" "Don't mind him Miss, he's a nutcase." " Pardon?" " He's struck in the head." "Different strokes, eh?" " Everyone's happy in Paris!" " Oh yes!" "You're late, Mr. Georges Forestier, you're late!" "I took the wrong subway." "My head has left me." "Hey, do you think acute leukemia can come up at the exam?" " What?" " Acute leukemia." "I didn't look into it." " If it ever comes up..." " Don't stress it." "Can you stand in for me tonight?" " There's a reception I have to go to." " Tonight?" "What, aren't you 100% intern from tonight on?" " You think so?" " You dolt." "All right." "Good grief!" "Good grief!" "Officer!" "Officer!" " What's going on?" " Here, in the water..." "There's a cor..." "Hurry UP!" "Something's in the water!" "Damn!" "Look at this!" " What are you on about?" " That's unbelievable!" "I never..." "Here, in the water." "Look!" "There's a co..." "A corpse floating by." "Indeed, there are some strange passers-by in Paris." "Don't you like my lettuce, cutie?" "How come it's 20 bucks more than elsewhere?" "Before bitching, just look at the quality of that stuff." " Not counting the bonus." " What bonus?" " How about this?" " Stuff it!" "Maybe you'd want roses for that price?" "My slate?" " And my potatoes?" " Coming!" "I dunno where it is." " Was that 5 kilos?" " Yes." "So you took it?" "And what about school?" "You'll be late again." "Ach, kids and business..." " Get out of here, poison!" " I'm taking my bag!" "That's not its place." "Skedaddle!" "Always getting in the way!" "And don't bother coming back if you get the same marks as last time." "Got it?" " Poor thing." " It's the awkward age." "Colette!" "Wait a sec." "On your way back, buy me 2 liters of milk." "Yes mom." " Here's 64 francs, don't lose it." " Yes mom." "Let's just help this poor old Miss Perrier." "Sure, they're only cats... but men have no heart, they just don'!" "understand." "Sir!" "Back off, no one's going there." " Hello." " Inspector." " I'm the one who found her." " Enough." " Stay away!" " Seems like it's the same guy." "That's the third one we find with a slit throat this year." "Back off, please!" "Back!" "Who is Mathias?" "Shall Hake off my blouse?" "No, no..." "Just show your shoulders." "Who is Mathias?" "Maybe these girls could tell us, those who used to mock his clumsiness." "or his social inability." "She might have told us, the one who was found with her throat slit." "Pose." " Leave." " What?" "I won't work anymore today." "Thanks." " Shall I come back tomorrow?" " No." "I'll call you." "Bye." "Now Mathias is alone." "Alone in his night." "Alone with his demons and delusions." "The strike... of course, the strike!" "Still, we're missing out on a nice party." "We don't have fun that often." "And now the gifts are a no-go." "We've been waiting for two years!" "The silver wedding is screwed up." "It wasn't worth saving up." "Here's Eugéne, hello!" " Hello." " Hi." " Look, we're all going at it." " Come and take a whiff." "You're gonna eat some damn good meat pie." " You can throw it in the canal." " What's up?" "The strike's not over." "They have to stay there." "Serious?" "What are we doing with all this?" "Lobsters spoil fast." "We'll have to pay for it." "No..." "That'd be such a waste." "Wait, I have an idea." "We can still fix this up." "Look..." "Here's what we're gonna do." "Say what you want but when you see this, you realize how much you wasted time in the country." " Darn..." " What is it?" "My tights got a run in." "And that's my last pair." "Choose a pair in my case, I've got every color!" "Did you save up or what?" "I've sold enough of it to get discounts." "In the rig ht corner." "That's some surprise, I thought you were 800km away!" "I made my mind in one day." " I left everything." " And your parents?" "I left a note." "I think they got it by now." "What are you going to do?" "Paris isn't Saint-Raphaél." "I'm not worried about work." "Paris is made for window dressers." "Some important people told me." "They must have meant it as they gave me their address and letters of recommendation." "And I've got other letters." "Nothing to do with business." "I know who from." "You know?" "Oh no, that's impossible." " These are from Armand." " Armand?" " The one who's studying An." " That's not him." "You're going to wear this?" "Yes." "You know, Armand really cares about you." "Yeah, he's nice." "What about you?" "Got someone?" "Georges." "Still Georges." "He's a good man." " Did he make it yet?" " Make it?" " Yeah, you told me..." " Well, he hasn't made it." "You know he's studying at the hospital?" "He went three times through the exams." "It's his last chance today." " Oh, he's going to pass..." " Of course he's going to pass!" "Don't you question it." "I'm not!" "Why are you upset?" "I'm not upset..." "It's such a shame, for such a good man like him." "He fails every single year, and no one knows why." " Must be the nerves." " I don't know." "Today's his last chance, he has to pass." "Is internship that important?" "It's the starting point of great doctor and surgeon careers." " If he fails today, it'll be awful." " Damn, you sure don't have it easy." "I had lots of occasions to live the life, as you say." "But my life with Georges is exciting in its own way." "Of course, you love him." "That's it." "You summed it up perfectly, using a word you know nothing about." " Me?" "Yes, you!" " I don't know what love is?" " Not yet." "If you read the letters in my case..." "This isn't important." "What matters is that tonight Georges Forestier will be a doctor." "Fever, it depends, sometimes I have it sometimes I don't." "It hurts the more on my left side, and it goes down in my leg when I'm tired." "Here is a patient who illustrates what I said about hypochondrium tumors." "And when it comes to pissing, let me tell you that's something." "Some days I don't even dare to because it burns so much." "That's no!" "funny." "In all likelihood, there is a renal mass on the left." "Let's say this actually is an enlarged kidney." "What do you do?" "A phenol... sulfonphthalein..." " And..." " Just begin by checking azotemia and constants." "Anyway, you'll do the checkup later, then order an operation if needed and make a prognosis." "What else?" " To make a diagnosis?" " A cytoscopy." "The doctor from my insurance told me it had to do with cystic!" "Of course you know it!" "Don't forget you'll be an intern by tonight." "The 36 is ready, we removed his bandage." " I'm coming." " Can I?" " Yes, go on." "By the way, I have to go myself." "Evrard, take care of it." "Goodbye, and don't worry." " Sir?" " What's up with Forestier?" "It's the exam, of course." "He's been waiting to be called for three months, in vain." " He's stressed out." " He'll pass today, it's the last day." "It's the 4th and last time, if he fails he's done." "That'd be a shame." "This boy is extremely skilled." "He was a great help for that hysterectomy yesterday." "Compress." "Do the bandage." "Forestier, I want to keep you here, you know." "Yeah, I've been there before, it was a nightmare." "But no more of that this afternoon." "Only energy and calm." "I'll be there." "Thank you, Sir." " Did you win already or what?" " You think so?" "Please don't start again." "Or forget about being a doctor and get yourself cured." "You're bordering on craziness." "Where would you be now if you hadn't been nominated?" " Treating rheumatism in some suburb?" " It's not about me, but you're right." "But this time Berthelin's on your side." "If you mess up, rely on him." " Lumbar puncture for 37, Sir." " Coming." "Cheer up!" "What about your studies?" "I'll graduate in Eastern Languages this year." "How typical of you!" "What use will it be to speak Chinese?" " I have to make a call." " The letters?" " Yes, the letters." " I expect you tonight." " What about tonight?" " We're celebrating Georges' success." " You're really sure of that?" " Go and make your call, silly." "Here's my boss." " Your boss?" " I pose for fashion photos." "Is that a job?" "And a well-paid one:" "3,000 F a shooting." "Unfortunately, it's not everyday." "But it comes in handy." "Forget it, this is my round." "Don't pay for a hotel, you'll sleep at my flat." "See you!" "See this chick?" "She caught Powells' eye." "Does Powells from New York ring a bell?" "Do you know what they're giving to this chick?" "That's me!" "That's the photo I shot in Versailles." "Guess what Powells offers you?" "500$ a week, 2 years contract." "Is it Mr. Maximilien's?" "I have no appointment." "Don't wake him up, I'll call back later." "Who was this girl at the café?" "A girl from back home." "We were raised together." " Yeah?" " She arrived this morning." " Does she like it here?" " It's all fun and games." "You should hear her about Paris, it's madness!" "She's right, Paris is nice." " What's wrong with you, blockhead?" " Shut up, asshole!" "Quiet!" "I muted this scene out of respect for you." "You should hear them, it's an all-out logorrhea:" ""Son of this", "son of that", "go this yourself"..." "Anyway." ""You"" " Enough." "They can't watch their language, can'!" "keep what's on their minds for themselves, while meters are counting time and people swear without counting, but the customer is paying." "In the end, this is neither big nor small deal, that's just the job." "The world is for some people like a crowded desert, and the old lady from the 6th ﬂoor gained nothing from all the walking she did since this morning." "64 francs, Sir!" "I need 64 francs." "I'm sorry Miss, bu!" "I've only got 1000 notes." "Sorry." "Excuse me." "Would you have 64 francs to give?" "It's for my cats." "Cats?" "While there are kids who have nothing?" "I don't have kids, Madam." "I have cats." "Well, come back when you have kids." "I don't care about cats." "Excuse me." ""When you have kids"!" "At 71 years old!" "It's about time." "In Paris, as old as its streets, Denise is strolling around." "Is she looking for the past?" "Old houses, old monuments." ""Mrs. de Balthazar, chiromancy, cartomancy... "" "No, not the past, she's looking for the future!" "Well, my child, what the Tarots just said is completely confirmed by what I'm reading in your palm." "That is, for you, and soon, love, wealth, and fame." "This is one of the most incredible hands I ever saw." "Love, wealth and fame?" "The greatest love a woman can get." "And you'll be rich..." "Most likely a very wealthy man." "And you're going to meet fame." "You'll be famous, well remembered." "Does..." "Does love... come from the person I'm thinking of?" "For this, child, I need to consult the crystal." "But I have a lot of appointments today." "Please, Madam." "I'll pay the price you want." "Very well." "Rest your hands on the ball." "No, here." "Stay focused." "How strange!" "This sudden fortune is overwhelming." "Do you have some heritage coming?" "A very wealthy relative, very old, sick?" "No." "Where does this money come from?" " Do you have a lottery ticket?" " No, Madam." "Well, you have to buy one, today." "One which ends with a 7." "That's essential." "And the fame I was telling you about is linked to this sudden wealth." "Although in an unclear way." "But I see your face is the papers." "You'll be held up as some sort of example." "And love?" "If you want me to tell you if that's the one you think," "I need something which belongs to this person." " Or something he has written." " I have letters." "I'm relying on graphology, which is an exact science." "I must tell you I was a window dresser in a great hotel in Saint-Raphaél." "There was a lot of people and some customers were..." "Well, were very nice to me." "He's one of them." "He started to send passionate letters more and more often." "At first I didn't remember him, then he mentioned a conversation we had." "I think he's a tall, dark-haired, very handsome guy." "We've been writing to each others for almost a year." "This man is obviously sincere." "He will most likely be the love of your life." "Did he tell you what his job is?" "Not an artist?" "No, more like a manufacturer." "You must be careful about artists." "I see one who is harmful." "You must fear two things:" "artists and knives." "So, when will my scissors be ready?" "Never, they broke when I sharpened them." "You funny guy!" "There they are." "How much is it?" "50 bucks and a kiss." "Here's your money, for the kiss you can dream on." "Women, eh?" "Price's the same for you, Sir." "What, is that too much?" "No." "The knife-grinder is honing his wheel too." "His job is like a child's game." "And being a schoolgirl is a quite boring and ungrateful job when your grades are bad." "Her report card is full of zeros, might as well rip it off since it amounts to nothing." "But Father Malingret has good eyes, and if he ever eyeballs you with his good eyes..." ""If you get the same marks as last week don't bother coming back. "" "What is she supposed to do?" "She just won't go home." "Hey, skittle head!" " You don't say hello anymore?" " Hi, Pirate." " That's one hell of a face!" " I've had bad grades." " Who gives a crap?" " I'm gonna be beaten up." "And my parents said I wasn't to go home if I had another zero." "Well don't!" "Since they agree, don't sweat it." " I don't have another home." " Dumbass!" "Come live with me, my dad's away and I can do whatever I want." "Don't go home, that'll teach 'em." "Come on!" "Let's fix some grub first." "I make the best snacks." "If they ask, just say you were invited." "Sit down." "Here, kid, have some red stuff." "It kills the blues." "I never drink plain wine." "That's why you're down." "Come on, drink this down." " What are you doing this afternoon?" " Dunno." " You'll come with me." " Where?" "In Australia." " Where's that?" " Don't worry, I know the way." " Got some geography book in there?" " Yes, here." "Here's Australia." " It's not far." " Of course it's not!" " There are snakes there." " They won't mess with me." " Know my name, don't you?" " Yes, Pirate." "See?" "Australia!" "That's quite tempting for a little girl who never left her neighborhood." "But isn't adventure everywhere in Paris?" "These passersby would tell you it sometimes looks like pretty girls." "Everyone, pose!" "Hold it." "Watch out!" "One, two, three!" "All right." "Mrs Elbey, get it ready, I'm having a break with Marie-Thérése." " Yes, Sir." " Tell them to change clothes." " Are you ready?" " Yes." "Right." "Just a second, please." " Highlight the bracelet." " Count on me." "Wait a second..." " Come on, come on." " Here." "Thanks." "Did you think about America?" "500$ a week, that's big money you know." "Not mentioning all possibilities." "I'm definitely going." "Maybe we could go together, you wouldn't be alone." "Is that noon?" "Won't we stop for lunch?" "What about the light?" "Let's hurry up then, I have to make a phone call." "Your doctor again?" "Do whatever you want, but you're going to miss a big chance because of him." "Think about it." "We're leaving next week." "This one won't say no." "She's so good-looking and nicely dressed." "And these jewels..." "She'll understand." "Sorry to bother you, Miss." "Would you have 64 francs to give?" " 64 francs?" " Yes." "I'm sorry, Madam, I can't." "Excuse me." "Phone for you, Sir." " What?" " Someone on the phone for you." " What time is it?" " Past noon." "Here." "Is that you, Doctor?" "How are you, Honey?" "Yes, I can imagine." "Look, I can'!" "have lunch with you." "They want to make the most of the sun and we're far from finished." "Don't be so sad, I'll find a way." "You know I need these 2000 francs." "You don't have to say it Honey, I want to see you!" "I have to see you before the exam." "Where is it?" "Necker Hospital?" "2 o'clock?" "I'll be there at 5 to 2 pm." "See you at the gate." "This time, you're going to pass." "No, don't be negative." "If I see you, you'll pass easily, and since I'm going to see you, it goes without saying." "Got it, Honey?" "Repeat after me." "Tonight, me, Georges Forestier, will be an intern." "Love you." "Bon appétit, gentlemen!" "Thanks." "Civil servants, office clerks, builders, salesmen and typists are picnicking, thinking about how good it is to be at home." "Because Paris is indeed a great home." "This one isn't at home anywhere, and his universe is elsewhere." "Well, Lise?" "What are you doing?" "Hurry up!" "Lise..." "I've heard this name somewhere." "0h, yeah..." "She reminds me of André Salmon's Little Lise." ""Little Lise lays in a trunk in the checkroom"" ""And the Man is waiting for his receipt to be signed"" ""on a pink piece of paper"" ""How bitter the absinthe he drank at the station café was"" ""He polluted his cigar with the blood his hands were tinted with"" "of course, a strike is a serious business." "Still, a silver wedding!" "Fortunately, resourcefulness is still a thing." "What's this?" "That's my kids!" "Why don't we sit here, Mrs. Hermenault?" "You reckon that's okay?" " Gotta be close to the gate." " Let's unpack then, the trunk will do as a table." "Come on!" "What are you doing?" "Lunch." "It's my folks' silver wedding, but the old man's stuck at the plant." "We were to do it at my bistro, but he couldn't because of the strike." "So I'm delivering." "Hi Dad!" " You're all here, kids?" " Happy anniversary, Granddad!" " Happy anniversary, Dad." " Thanks, girl." " Happy anniversary, old man!" " Happy anniversary, hen." "You're here too, what a surprise!" " Happy anniversary to my in-law!" " Thanks, boy." "Oh, you're here too?" " You've brought the grub I see?" " Yeah!" " Where are you gonna eat this?" " Here!" "You won't be fine here!" "Don't be silly!" "Plus, that's an emergency:" "we can't let these perishables spoil." "Don't you think your chow-down's out of place?" "Today of all days!" "Well, I wonder..." "I think your colleague is right, seeing the circumstances..." "Wouldn't it be better there, on the bank?" "Your dad can join you there." " I can't go out." " Why couldn't you?" " Go, you'll come back after." " You think so?" " We're wrapping up then?" " I'll join you there." "What is it, Officer?" " There, where are you going?" " We're playing music to the workers." "Indeed, Paris is nice and lenient." "He's lived for so long." "Seven hills, 24 bridges, and who knows how many deadly sins." "Paris is still fine-looking." "The older he gets, the better he is." "Just wait and see how young he'll be 2000 years from now." "Also, Paris is crowded with pretty girls." "Love, wealth, fame..." "She finds it perfectly natural." "Don't be afraid, ladies and gents, there only are good things here!" "Come closer, Miss!" "Look at the hit from the Paris Fair and the Colonial Exposition!" "Look my studious student bringing home his stock of scientific and literary knowledge!" "Miss, the draw is for tonight, try your luck." "Do you have a ticket ending with a 7?" " A tenth?" " No, the whole." " That's 1720 francs." " Yes." "Here you go." "Thank you." "Here, Miss." "Good luck." "She wrote in her notebook:" ""Armand." "Bar." "Quai Malaquais. "" "Well, the Quai is here." "So is the bar." "Here thunders a long-haired bunch, and you can hear, thrown to surprised passersby, oaths, shouts and swearwords:" ""Bouguereau, Whatsit," "Picasso!"" "This is where Armand is, waiting for her since he was a child." "I actually think I'm giving him great credit by putting my work besides his daub." "You can't possibly compare our methods of working the coloring material." "You patter and I gash." "Like day and night, right Armand?" "I don't care about his opinion!"

"CLINICAL SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT OF ADDISON'S DISEASE" "DIAGNOSIS OF PEPTIC ULCER PERFORATION" "You have ten minutes." "Your turn, Mr. Forestier." "Mr. Forestier, you can speak." "Clinical symptoms and treatments of Addison's disease." "The disease to which Addison gave his name in mid-19th century in most often related to tuberculosis and supra-renal capsules." "Not only is it of historical relevance because it was one of the first infections of endocrine glands to be described..." "It now gained... because of recent and lightning progress of... of endocrinology... and knowledge of corticosteroids... which we're now able to synthesize, an prominent position in modem pathology." "We..." "We'll choose as an example... the form of Addison's disease observed most often during pulmonary tuberculosis, mostly fibrous, some times observed during osseous or renal tuberculosis," "or any other location... or any other location." "Mostly appearing with young males." "The beginning of Addison's disease... is generally the most insidious." "Starting with asthenia and anorexia, it's firs!" "considered as common." "It may be after months... and years..." "It is only when these signs are especially intense... when pigmentation appears... that the patient comes." "Asthenia, digestive disorder and high blood pressure..." "No!" "I mean low blood pressure." "Pigmentation, asthenia, digestive disorder and low blood pressure are foolproof signs of an addisonian crisis." "Asthenia is..." "No, no..." "I mean, pigmentation is widespread." "I mean, localized." "Localized almost everywhere." "No!" "I mean, localized in the mouth." "And..." "Also, pigmentation stands on the skin... on exposed areas... areas normally pigmented..."

"Mr. Maximilien, please." "Mom, that's the lady who already came thrice." "He still hasn't come back, Miss." "If it's important, you can find him at the Tuileries." " The Tuileries?" " Yes, in the garden." "He's usually there in the afternoon." " Is he?" "Thanks a lot, Madam." "Denise?" "Mr. Maximilien!" "I almost passed without seeing you, yet you're the one I was looking for." " When did you arrive in Paris?" " I arrived this morning." "Sorry if I'm not standing up, but I can't." "Are you unwell?" "Yes." "That's what I thought when you didn't answer my last two letters." "Sit down, Denise." "How long will you be in Paris?" "I plan to stay here." "Have you gotten worse?" "No." "You don't seem happy to see me." "I am sorry, Denise, but what I have to say today... is terribly hard for me and so disappointing for you..." "Do you remember one of my letters where I mentioned a trip to Italy?" "Yes." "Well, during this trip..." "I was in a plane crash." "The consequences were more serious than I thought." "The reason I didn't tell you about this is because I didn't want to make you sad... and above all I didn't want to lose you." "Lose me?" "I don't understand." "How can I say it?" "These last months were hard for me." "You see..." "In my milieu, people get easily bored of the company of disabled people." "Yes, Denise." "Disabled." "At least, I still had something in my solitude." "The great, deeply sincere love I have for you." "Yes, when I knew happiness would be impossible between us," "I should have told you the truth right away, but..." "I couldn't." "No, I couldn't, every time I wrote to you I wanted to, but backed up." "Every single one of my letters became a moral fraud... and every project we made, a cowardly act." "There." "Now you know how much I lacked courage and loyalty." "But you're being treated, you're gonna heal." "No, Denise." "I've known for 6 months that it's out of the question." "And I quite badly used my remaining faculties:" "thinking, and writing." "It's time to go home, Sir." "A minute, please." "It can't be!" "I just can't realize what you're saying." "Disabled?" "Permanently." "You don't believe it?" "Then I owe you a pretty humiliating show." "Louis, when you're ready." "Yes, Sir." "Farewell, Denise." "Let's go." "Very good picture of you, Miss Denise." "MY FRIEND DENISE ONLY SMILES FOR SURPRISE" "Where are you going?" " Gotta talk with my dad." " It's not the right moment lad, go!" "Hey, please!" "Can you call my father?" "Hermenault." "What?" " What's up, laddie?" " Everything's set at Milou's." "Mom asks when you think you'll be there." "It's not up to me, lad." "They mentioned nine o'clock, but you never know." "Just start, I'll come as soon as I can." "Bye, Dad." "Bye, bunny." "Goddammit, silly brat!" "Why the Hell you're sneaking here?" "Want me to put you in a barrel?" "Want me to put you in a barrel?" "You're hiding too?" "What are you doing here?" "I saw the Cooping Cooper." "Did you?" "You're right." "You have to be careful of the Cooping Cooper." " Why did you take your shoes off?" " My feet hurt." "You've got a hole in your sock." "Your mom's gonna scold you." "I have no mom." "What are you doing then?" "I sew my socks myself." "Don't you prick your fingers?" "Yes." "But if I prick my finger too much, I replace it." "I can unscrew my fingers." "What?" "You're kidding!" "No, I'm serious!" "Look." "How do you do this?" " Show me." " That way." "See?" "You cheated!" " You're not a cooper, are you?" " No." " Do you like kids?" " Yes." "But they shouldn't grow up." " What was that?" " They're locking the gates up." "We mustn't get ourselves locked up." "Come, you have to go home." "What if the cooper sees us?" "He can do nothing against the two of us." " Do you know the name of your street?" " Yes, it's the Rue Mouffetard." "I'll walk you there." "A bit later, and you were jailed up until tomorrow morning." "Listen." "I can't go with you." "Just cross the bridge and follow the bank this way." "You'll get at the Jardin des Plantes, after..." "I know, it's not far from home." "Hurry up, then." "And be careful when crossing the road." "Bye, Sir." "Maybe everything isn't lost for Mathias." "Maybe everything is still possible." "Maybe this little girl brought him calm and security." "Le!" "night come on bells end the day The days go by." " What are you doing here?" " I'm running on empty." " Why don't you row?" " I don't have any oar." "Well, leaving full of illusions is nice, but better leave with a full tank." "Denise Lambert has been in Paris for 12 hours." "12 hours only, and she already got that love is better dreamed of than felt, and that heart is not a bare necessity." " Sorry hen, did you wait?" " I've just arrived?" "What's the news?" "Here, help me grab the key." "Did he pass?" "Are the results out?" "Not officially, but I trust my intuition." "Put the light on." "Talking about intuition, I should have known better than trusting mine." "So, what happened?" "How was your day?" "When I left this morning, I first went to a clairvoyant." "Quite a good start." "Gaby gave my the address and told me it was amazing." "I was anxious to know if he was waiting for me." "You know Gaby is crazy." "What did this crook told you?" "She read my hands, the crystal ball and the handwriting." "How lucky!" "Apparently, all agreed that I would soon gain love, wealth and fame." "That's all?" "Just have to wait, then." "The greatest love one can get." " Seems she was right." " What are you talking about?" "It's an impossible love, I'm too young to bind myself..." "Anyway, let's not talk about it." "Well, I hope wealth fixed that up the minute after." "I'll see later, I bought a lottery ticket." "You're something!" "Rue Mouffetard, behind Saint-Médard Church, the whole neighborhood is in turmoil." "Can you imagine?" "An 8 years-old child!" "Little Malingret, you know?" "Colette?" "Yes, she's missing since this morning." "Unbelievable!" "Unbelievable you say?" "With all these maniacs!" "This is all because of war!" "With all these atom bombs, the world's upside down!" "Life doesn't amount to much." " That's Colette!" " Miss Perrier." "What are you doing here?" "I'm scared of going home, Dad's gonna beat me!" "I be!" "they sent you on an errand and you lost the money." "Right?" "Is that so?" "No, I still have my 64 francs, here." "You still have your 64 francs?" "Keep that money." "Keep it tight." " Since when are you gone?" " Well, since noon." "Go home." "They'll be happy to see you." "They won't beat you." "Come." "Come on." "Knock." "Stronger!" " What is it?" " It's me." "It's her!" " God damn, she'll regret this!" " Don't be afraid." "Go!" "Poor kids!" "Poor kids..." "It's not my fault." "I walked... and walked..." "But no one understands." "No one." "You should have seen it." "Even with lots of jewels on them!" "There's nothing to do..." "Nothing." "Calm down." "Line up three abreast!" "Group 2, line up!" "March!" "Captain, someone for you." "Stop." " You brought back the union guy?" " Yes, Captain." " So?" " I've got news for my comrades, can you wait till I speak to them?" " Fine, go." "Open up guys, it's me!" "Hi." " What's up?" " I think it's gonna be settled." "Better that way." "Listen to me!" "We've just obtained satisfaction on some grounds," "I suggest we leave in calm and get back to work tomorrow!"

"My light's out." " Forget it, gotta dash." " Don't mess up your leather!" "Don't worry!" "I phoned Necker." "They left long ago but he didn't show up at the Hotel-Dieu." "Where can he be?" "What are you doing here?" "Well, I brought champagne all the same." "All the same?" "What, don't you know?" "The exam went horribly wrong." " How do you know?" " He phoned the faculty." "Do you understand?" "Anyway, there's still the SS Ile de France leaving in 5 days." "Why should I care?" "500$ a week, a Z-years contract, why should she care?" "Where can he be?" "He must feel terrible." "I hope he..." "Maybe I'll check at Lucien's, but what if he comes back when I'm gone?" " I'll go." " Not you." " You want me to go?" " It's not that far, but you're supposed to see Armand?" " I've got time." "I'll point you the way." "You take a right..." " Tired?" " Not at all." " You don't look well." " I'm recovering from some illness." "That's the lot of party animals." "It's not that." "It was a nervous illness." "That's terrible." "A cousin of mine died from epilepsy." "Nothing to do with it." "What are you doing tonight?" "Dancing." "Are you waiting someone?" "We're always waiting someone." "What you're saying is true." "Me..." "I'm been waiting someone for a very long time." "This person..." " I'd like it if it were you." " Yeah?" "You fancy me, then." "Why don't we try to speak seriously?" "Certainly." "Léon, get me some mint cordial." "I suffered a lot from loneliness... and my first attempts to escape it were not very lucky." "But I feel in you something different from what I met up until now." "Peacefulness... balance..." "You bet I know where I set foot in." "You can ask anyone." "They say:" ""Mado?" "She's far from nuts!"" "That's what I like about you, this sort of poetic roughness." "But I'm not rough!" "Maybe I look like it, but it's quite the opposite." "Do you want to stay with me tonight?" "Why not?" "If you pay for it." "Hey." "Mado?" " May I?" " Not tonight, I'm occupied." "Well, Mr. high-strung?" "Lost your tongue?" "If I'm holding up, it's not really because of the job you're doing, but the disgusting way you do it." "Hey, you can't bawl people out just because you're broke!" " Come on, no fuss." " He's triggering me!" "He's mad because I told him he looked sick."
