"I know but... a rendezvous at 9h30 means the train 6 h 50!" "I'm no human at this hour, I'll look like a plate of beans." "But did you fax the text here or to the hotel?" "Can't it be a little later?" "Ok, I know..." "I can't talk to you anymore now." "I'm hanging up." "Bye." "That's to some extent father's fault." " In what way?" " He always likes to see happy faces about him." "There must be sunshine and joy in the house, he says." "Fine?" "And so I'm afraid he often gives her medicine which will do... little good in the long run." " Do you really think that?" " Yes." "I can't get rid of the thought." "She is so odd at times." "But isn't it unjust that I should have to stay at home here?" "I'm of no use to father." "Besides I have a duty towards myself too, I think." "Dear Bolette, we two must talk." "Oh, that won't be much use." "I suppose I was created to stay here in the carp pond." "Not a bit of it." " It depends entirely upon yourself." " Do you think so?" " Yes, believe me." " It lies wholly in your own hands." " If only that were true!" "Will you perhaps put a good word for me with father?" "Certainly." "But first of all I must speak frankly with yourself." "Hush!" "don't let them notice anything." "We'll speak of this later." "Just a sigh" " You can't do that to me." " They haven't signed yet." "What's the matter with you?" " How do I get by, tell me?" " How do the others get by?" "If we hadn't been dropped by Tarquin, you'd be paid already." "But now I can't do anything before the 26th." "It's tough for everybody in this show." "You'd have understood that from the beginning." " Go on and I'll be the guilty one in 3 seconds." " That's not what I said." "Ok, come on." " You'll burn me with your cigarette." " Your train ticket!" " I booked your return at 3 pm." " Ok." " See you tomorrow!" "I don't share anything here." "I feel like a robot." "You're exaggerating." "Well, let's stop here." "I feel like I'm wearing you out and myself too." "How sick I am to be like this, feeling so miserable." "I'd like to be able to protect you sometimes as much as you protect me." "Why are you saying so?" "We're not here to protect each other." "Antoine, I'd like to ask you something, something very important." "If we'd to start it over again, would you be with me still?" "Why this question?" "Are you feeling so bad?" "Won't you answer me?" "I'm not good at that kind of questions." "What's the matter with you?" "Ok, thanks!" "What does 'start over again' mean?" "It's like... 'if my aunt had some, she'd be my uncle'?" "What?" "!" "I just never ask myself that kind of questions." "I suppose it's a good sign." "So, if you want an answer... then it's 'yes'." "A true 'yes'?" "A true 'yes'." "Thousand times yes." "Hello?" "Are you here?" "Yes, I am." "Telephone is such a pain," "I'd like to tell you so many things but I'd need to see your eyes." "Try to sleep." "When are your test finally?" "9.30 am." "I'm taking the first train." "Antoine!" "Yes..." "I'm kissing you." "So am I." "Everywhere." "So am I, everywhere." "See you tomorrow." "Good night." "Antoine..." "Listen to me, Antoine..." ""You're a real bastard. "" "Holy... it can't be true!" "2,10 euros, please." "Thanks." "Have a good trip, miss." "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen." "May I see your tickets, please." " Good morning, miss." " Good morning." " Thank you." " Thanks to you." "Ladies and gentlemen, our train will soon be at Paris, Gare du Nord." "Make sure not to forget anything." "Wait for the full stop to get off and mind the gap, please." "SNCF and TGV are wishing you a good day." "Paris, Gare du Nord." "Terminus." "Excuse me, do you speak english?" "A little." "I'm trying to get to the Church of Ste Clothilde." "It's in the Rue Casimir Périer." "What's the best way to get there?" "By metro?" "Yes, it's definitely faster by metro." "But let me think." "Sorry sir." " You want to go to the Church of Ste Clothilde?" " Yes." "Take the line 4, metro here at the station to Montparnasse." "Excuse me." "Then line 12... direction Porte de la Chapelle." " Get off at Solférino." " Solférino yes." "'Its' will take you about half an hour." " It's nearby." " Yeah." " Do you want me to trace it down for you?" " No, this one I've got it." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "Yes, mum." " Alix?" " Yes." "I just thought we could have dinner together." " Well... yes, if you want it." " Do you hear me?" " I'm hearing you very badly." " Wait..." "My battery's down." "I'll call you back, I'm almost at home." "Hug." "Antoine?" "Hello, this is Antoine's answerphone." "Leave me a message." "I'll call you back." "Thanks." "Well... it's me." "I'm home." "Well it seems we missed each other." "Maybe you're near..." "Kisses." "I'll call later." "Ah... you can't call me, my battery's down and I forgot the charger at the hotel." "But I'll call you." "Hug." "I'm going straight back to Calais today." " May I see somebody else?" " No." "Mme de la Vessiére is in charge of you, so you must see her necessarily and..." " ... necessarily come back later." " But I won't come back before 2 weeks!" "Meanwhile you can withdraw cash at the desk." "I can't, I'm below zero." "That's why I want to see her!" "Listen, I can't wait like this until... pigs fly!" "Hello, this is Antoine's answerphone..." "I call you back." "Thanks." "That was just in case..." "I've a problem with my credit card." "I can't withdraw money anymore and couldn't meet anyone at the bank." "And theater still don't pay me because they have problems here... there." "Well..." "Kisses." "Ah... don't call me back at that number, this is a phone box." "Kisses." " Hello." " Hello, excuse me, I'm late." " Take it." " Thank you." " Are you giving the line?" " Yep." " Ready?" " Hm." "Action!" "Camera's running." "Hello hm..." "I'm your upstairs neighbour." "Excuse me if I'm waking you up but..." "I was on the landing, my door banged and..." "I'm trapped outside and of course the keys are inside..." "Want to come in?" "May I just make a very quick phone call?" "Do." "I'm really sorry." "Do you want a gown?" "Well... as you wish." "In fact, yes... while I'm calling." "Take this." "Thanks." "It's me." "Listen, I'd need you to come at once, I was on the landing and... the door banged and the keys are inside." "Let me tell you how it looks." "I'm naked at a stranger's home." "Pardon?" "!" "How do you want me to take a taxi?" "I wear knickers and a transparent tee-shirt." "Of course I haven't money!" "You're a real bastard." "I won't stay at this mister's home for 3 hours." "He's busy too." "Ah ok, fine!" "In short, I have to manage alone!" "Well thank you then." "Thank you." "No I'm not sulking, it's something else: fuck off!" "Shit, excuse me." " That can't be true!" " Be calm, what's the matter?" "He can't move, he's stuck." "He wants me to cross the city to fetch the duplicate key." "You should call a locksmith." "I have no time, I'm late." "I have a rendezvous in half an hour." "I'll never be on time." "It's screwed up." "It's screwed up." "The last sentence is not easy." "Do I really have to say it's screwed-up three times?" "If it's written this way, you have to say it this way." "Let's make a second one." " Won't you mind if I open the window?" "I'm really hot" " Please do." "Noise won't bother you?" "No, I think it's fine." "I'm not very strong in that..." "On the other hand, can you try to be more moving?" " How come?" " More moving." " I don't know... tell me what you want." " Well... more moving." " More moved, for example?" " Yes that's it, fine." "But... who is this girl?" "I mean, what's really happening to her?" "I don't know, don't think too much." "She's just a chick who is a little lost." "Do you have a real phone?" " My gesture makes no sense without." " Take that one here." "Are you ready?" "Come on." " Ok?" " Yep." "Action." "Hello... hm..." "I'm your upstairs neighbour." "Excuse me if I'm bothering you but... my door banged and I was on the landing and... of course, the keys are inside." " Want to come in?" " May I just make a quick phone call?" " Do." " I'm really sorry." " Do you want a gown?" "As you wish." "In fact, yes... while I'm calling." " Take this." "Thank you." "It's me." "Listen,..." "I'd need you to come at once cos'..." "I was on the landing, the door banged... and, of course, the keys are inside." "Let me tell you how it looks:" "I'm naked at a stranger's home." "Pardon?" "!" "How do you want me to take a taxi?" "I wear knickers and a transparent tee-shirt." "Of course I haven't any money!" "You're a real bastard!" "I won't stay at this mister's home for 3 hours." "He's busy too." "Ok, fine!" "In short, I have to manage alone!" "Thank you." "No, I'm not sulking now." "It's something else." "Fuck you!" "Excuse me." "It can't be true." "Be calm, what's the matter?" "He's stuck, he can't move and... he wants me to cross the city to fetch the duplicate key." "You should call a locksmith." "I have no time, I'm late." "I have a rendezvous in half an hour." "I'll never be on time." "It's screwed up." "It's screwed up, screwed up!" "Ok." "That wasn't bad." "Not a bit too much?" "Let's stop now, what d'you think?" "Do you know if the director will meet many people?" "I have still 14 people to test." "The same thing all day long!" "I won't be rude enough to ask how old you are." "That's just fine, I won't tell you." "Hello, this is..." "I'll call you back." "Thanks." "Really..." "I've just finished the test." "You probably will say once again I'm a naysayer but..." "I'm trying to find something worse than "catastrophy" but I can't," "I have no words anymore, I'm numb." "Kisses." "Ah..." "I'm having dinner at 13 with my mother, but I'll try to pop by before going back to Calais." "So I hope we'll run into each other at least one minute." "Kisses." "You're a pain not to answer." "Hello, this..." "leave me..." "Please pass on the message:" "something has been decided." "We'll have a drink at the Bistro Gourmand, rue de Barberot" "Excuse me." "Rodolphe!" "Alix." "We'll have a drink at the Bistrot Gourmand." " Do you know where rue de Barberot is?" " I think so." "Fine." " He said, everyone is..." " Yes I know." "I'm playing the wise guy but I don't know where rue Barberot is." "I think it's behind but..." "In any case you can follow the others." "You...?" "Were you close with Patricia?" "In fact... who could say being close to... such a complex person?" "When I learned of her death, I realised we hadn't met or talked for more than one year." " Will you go to the cemetery after noon?" " No." "Neither will I." "I think there will be a little group of very close people." "I won't stay." "I understand." "Or maybe... a little coffee but I won't be long." "Lucy didn't come?" "No, no, she's staying at Maidsten." "She couldn't get away." "Just as well, I suppose." "Are you staying a few days?" " No, I'm leaving tomorrow." " Where are you staying?" "A little hotel on the corner." "The..." " Escalupius?" " No, Asclepius." "You're lucky." "Asclepius is the god who heals wounds." " What will you have?" " A strong espresso." "With a glass of water." "Two strong espressos, two glasses of water." "When Benoit called me..." "I didn't believe it." "I still don't realise, I think." "What I feel is beyond injustice." "You understand?" "Yes, I think it's... some kind of work." "Today is a day which is..." "inevitably violent." "But it's a necessary step." "A burial is..." "She'll be incinerated." "I'd say, no matter what it is." "Did you like her very much?" "Didn't you?" "I did, of course." "A lot." "1,30 euro a coffee!" "Do you realise?" "Just think that every Frenchman who is being born now and every Frenchman before him wears a debt of" "20 or 25000 euros to refund." "Don't talk about it." "I'm nervous enough as it is." "That's absolutely unreal to think we'll be able to refund 1640 billions." "We could just try to reduce it by 100 or 200 billions euros so that the relation with the national product might be tolerable." "Anyway." "The absolute value of the debt is not the important point." "Really?" "In fact, the important points are two criterions:" "The ratio with the national wealth, but most of all, 'who is the equities' owner?" "'" "Let's take Japan, a rather funny example, most of the public debt is held by themselves." "There's much more leeway against creditors than half a debt which is held abroad." "With compatriots one can argue, discuss." "The benefit can be exchanged within the remit of a clear policy." "Nowadays the debt of the old rich countries paves the way for rising powers." "Including China." "Let me remind you that China has exchange stocks of 3000 billions $." "To buy up the European debt would be a piece of cake for them." "So they did with the Greek one by the way." "And took half of Piraeus in exchange." "The less bad solution would be to go on supporting Greece." "Provided that we have a strategic vision on the way to defend the Euro zone." " Sorry, but... the whole Occident has a debt towards Greece." "Philosophy, democracy, tragedy." " Of course, yes." "All very well and good but it was 3000 years ago." "Besides the debt has been fully paid off for 30 years now." "No thanks." "I quit." "How do you feel?" "Pretty devastated... but calm." "Do you mind me asking?" "No." "No, not at all." "Can I ask you something?" "Sure." "Why did you come here today?" "I honestly don't know." "I should go." "It's better." "I'll pay my espresso." "I'd like to pay my espresso." "Real economy remained the driving force." "Thanks." "I'm ashamed." "You disappeared." "You were hungry?" "When I was 5 or 6 years of age in Maidstone," "I had a huge crush on my... elder brother's girlfriend." "Her name is..." "Norma Tisdale." "One day my mother invited her to lunch and we were... seated beside each other." "I didn't know what to do, I was... panicked, breathless" "And I reached out and I drank what I thought was a glass of water but it was... gin." "Then she looked into my eyes" "I threw up all over... her beautiful shoes." "A few minutes later, I went into the bathroom and I was washing my face and..." "Norma Tisdale came in." "and she looked at me." "And I was so... ashamed." "A few months later they broke up and I never saw her again." "But I still wonder... if I threw up because I didn't want my brother to have her or because..." "I wanted to be alone in the bathroom with her." "Both probably." "And probably... so that she'd remember you for the rest of her life." "Why are you telling me this?" "Because on the scale of shame... you have a very long way to go." "Yes, but you were just a child." "You haven't thrown up on me yet." "I'm trying not to." "Don't you ever speak French?" "I have chosen to forget it." "Today is a painful day." "I'm not very good at pain." "Who is?" "So you're here." "I was just looking for both of you." "I'd like to walk a little." "Would you?" "It will do us good." "You'd like to join me?" " We can meet up with the others later." " Yes, of course." "You're welcome too, Alix." "And at a moment you have to decide it is also a beautiful day." "I just gotta get something in my room." "I'll be back in a moment." "Patricia adored this area." "That's surprising here, indeed." "It's chic and ghostly at the same time." "You see what I mean." "Very elegant but also..." " As if time..." " Aren't you hungry?" "To be frank," "I'm dreaming of a turnover for some time now." "I couldn't eat this morning." "I think there's a bakery at the corner there." "Would you give it a go?" "I would, very much but I try to pay attention." "You are sure..." "Something else maybe?" " Well, I'll have a little bit maybe." " I'm coming." "Excuse me." "I mixed up the rooms." "He's..." "He's quite a character, your friend Rodolphe." "Yes." "Yes, he is." "That's a lot of solitude for one man." "He's a professor." "Like me." "Do you teach economy?" "No..." "Literature." "Sorry." "I'm afraid a little bit." "So am I." " Did you take a ferry?" " I hate aeroplanes." "What about the Eurostar?" "If there's something worse than an aeroplane, it's a tunnel under the sea." "Honestly I would have swam or walked here if I could." "And what about you?" "Are you from Calais?" "Do you live in Paris?" "Do you spend a lot of time in hotel rooms with strangers?" "So what kind of work do you do?" "You're not speaking anymore." "School teacher." "Slave driver." "Actress." " Yes." " You're an actress." "You see, now I don't know whether you're telling lies or telling the truth." " I could say the same thing to you." " No, I say it because..." " ... because you're an actress." " I said it because you're a man." "Ah, touché!" "To answer a cliché with a cliché." "Was Rodolphe in love with Patricia?" "I get the impression he was." "I suppose we all were." "We were at the Sorbonne many years ago." "We all wanted to be writers." "She was a professor like the rest of us." "But she was the artist." "She was the only one who dedicated her life to it." " You lived in Paris?" " Yes." "For a few months." "What happened to Patricia?" "She was a little too much in love with life." "With the dark side." "And she didn't care to grow old." "I can understand that." "Yes." "Her drug of choice was Calvados." "She must have been in love a lot." "Did she love you?" "She could never say it." "And could you?" "About eight hundred times." "Why did you follow me?" "Because you seemed sad." "Because I wanted to." "Really?" "Is that all?" "I didn't follow you." "I went and found you." "It's very different." "You have a good face." "I love your eyebrows." "And I love... your jaw." "It's a gregarious jaw." "It's... a serious jaw." " Don't make fun of me." " No, no." "I'm not making fun of you." "I'm happy to know you." "Do you always keep your shirt in bed?" "Only with strangers." "I'm sorry but I..." "I have to..." "To make a call?" "Yes." "Mummy, it's Alix." "Listen, I'm sorry but I can't have dinner with you." "You're not on the way already..." "You're at the restaurant!" "But it's twenty to one." "Why are you always early?" "I'm sorry." "Really, I can't." "I'm completely..." "And I'll take the train much earlier." "No, really, I'm fine." "I'm just a little tired." "Camille, it's Alix." "Just to say that if you need me, I'll be in Calais in the afternoon." "I'll be on the 13h30 train." "Hugs." "See you soon." "Hello,..." "Antoine's answerphone..." "Are you ok, miss?" "Yes." "Not under 15 euros." "Sorry, I have no cash and my train's leaving in 20 minutes." "Ok, give it to me." "7 scheduled concerts have been cancelled in Strasbourg." "This is the 21st of June." "The first day of Summer..." "It doesn't work well, it seems." "Rejected transaction." " So what?" " I'll go for cash and come back." "Leave me something." "Do you have an identity card?" " I go at the corner, I'll be right back" " Yes, I know the trick." "Incredible!" "I'm in a hurry, I have a train..." " Do you want me to call the police?" " The police?" " If I go out, will you hold me back?" " Try..." " You're joking." " Do I look like I am?" "Shit!" "Long live to France!" "Hello, this is Antoine's answer phone, ... Thank you." " Spanish flu, Algerian war." " Pardon?" "18-54." "It's a good way to remember." "Hello Olivier." "Don't you recognise me?" "I'm Alix, Diane's sister." "Oh, excuse me please." " Hello Alix." " Hello." "Is Diane at home?" "Diane, a visitor for you." "It's me Alix, do I bother you?" "You don't, come in." " You're taking a bath at that hour?" " Yes, I just had two hours of yoga." "I'm worn out." "Aren't the children here?" "No, it's Friday." "They're at school." "What's happening?" "Are you ok?" "I have a silly problem." "Too long to explain." "You need money?" "What?" "No." "I mean, absolutely not more than usually." "But now I'd need to be rescued." "How much exactly?" "Now, just 15 euros." " I have no money with me." "I have a..." " Don't be ridiculous." " No." " I know you, you're too proud to ask for more." "No, believe me." "Stop." "Well, listen... if giving more is so rewarding for you, I won't refuse." "You will not begin again?" "What's the matter with you?" "What do you mean?" "I don't know, you're flushed." "But not as you are usually." "I don't know." "You'll sit a little with us, won't you?" "So, how much do you want?" " Well, I don't know..." " How is... hm..." "Antoine, that's right?" "He's fine." " How long have you been together now?" " 8 years." "Oh, mummy." "Don't tell her I'm here." "I'm supposed to be in the train." "Mum, how are you?" "I just had two hours of yoga." "I'm worn out." "You're ok?" " You seem preoccupied." " I was thinking of Blaise Pascal." " You often are?" " Know what he says:" "'happiness in the present doesn't exist'." "Whether you hope or wait for it, but you never experience it at the present." "Unless you're an animal or... stupid." "I'm not sure to agree." "Isn't it a bit depressive?" "Maybe, but Pascal says it." "Mummy." " Why did you tell I was here?" " I don't know, you're here!" " You did it on purpose?" " Of course not." " Yes, mum." " Alix?" " I understood you had a train!" " I missed it, I'll take the next one." "I dropped in quickly at Diane's." "I'm really sorry about the lunch." " What are you doing at Diane's?" " Nothing." "I came pick something up." "You know I'm glad you've made up both of you." " We never quarreled." "We just didn't see each other." " Well." "And when do we see each other?" "Well, I don't know..." " When is it finished in Calais?" " In two weeks." "Listen, I can't talk to you now, I'll call you back on Monday, ok?" "Hugs." "Hugs." "Are you ok?" " Can I ask you something?" " Yes." "What does Diane say when she's talking about me?" "Nothing special." " You're still in theater?" " Yes." "The competition seems feroce, it shouldn't be easy to break through." "You know, I don't do it for fame." " What's that?" "A horror movie?" " A color photograph of my intestine." " You're an artist?" " No, these are x-rays from here to there." " Why, you're sick?" " No, everything's immaculate." "Look." " Why this if you're ok?" " Precisely, to be sure." "Just by precaution." "Can I have a swig?" "My head aches suddenly." "Beer might not be good if you have a headache." "It aches much?" "Or normally?" "I don't know." "You want a precise answer?" "Don't laugh, you know, sometimes... it's a little headache, and all of a sudden cerebral haemorrhage." "It's rather rare though." "So, what did mother say?" "So?" "Stop, please." "What?" "You're really the queen of hypocrites." " What time is it?" " Can you explain me, I don't get it." "Olivier's right, you must quit drinking." "The big affair!" "I took two swigs." " I don't drink anymore." " It's 14h02." "You quit drinking?" "What happened, revolution?" " Not even from time to time?" " From time to time is depressing." "Everything or nothing." "That's how I am." "A bit of abuses never harmed anybody." "If you had a bit of self-respect." "You know that respect for others begin with it." "Blow me down!" "Just... perfect!" "I forgot you're so perfect with your uptight ass and zest for life." "Can't you be yourself one second?" "Even though you didn't choose acting by accident!" "You believe I'm interested in myself?" "Are you yourself?" "!" "It's always the same song..." "You're not talking about me now, but about yourself." "So stop it." "I'm not like you, overpolite with a shield of feminity, a social shop window." " Why do you ask me money?" " I just asked 15 â‚¬, not money." "Of course!" "But you're so pleased to lend me dough insisting with your good heart." " You must be really unhappy to be so mean." " Yes, I'm mean." "Since I'm born." "One doesn't change." "You're nice, I'm mean." "I don't know how to be nice." "I don't do any politics." "Don't pretend you're interested in what I'm doing." "You're not either." "You're just inquiring, from above." " You'd better say you're not fine." " Are you?" "Yes, I am, very fine." "You're pulling that face for ten years and it's fine?" "You're the last one who can give me a lesson about that." "No, I don't give any lesson." "It's somebody else." "You won't ever change!" " You're 43 years old, Alix!" " And you 143!" "Morbid and dessicated." "Restraining from everything." "Looking like you never had a poo." "Ok stop now!" " Stop." " You see, one feels better." "Don't worry, it's fine." "I had loads of slaps." "Ok, excuse me." " And you stand here, calm." " Do I look calm?" " You're not saying a word!" " Which words do you want me to say?" "!" "Be calm, now." "Both." "You still have spots here." "You should use the cream I..." "This is just great." "To each his slap..." "Oh, let me see." "All red, she didn't miss you." " Welcome at the insanes' house." " Will you shut your trap!" "Go see a doctor, you poor loony." " Take your money and go away." " I don't want your money." " Stop." " Let me." "Are you alright?" " Did you hurt yourself?" " I'm so tired..." "You should put your face on something cold." "Now, I have nothing cold." "Look, put your cheek on that post." "I'm very serious, I'm a doctor." "It won't swell." " Like this?" " Exactly." "Stay like this 3 or 4 minutes." "Nice couple!" "Fine, we've sorted this out." "Here's your change." "Isn't life beautiful?" " It wasn't worth singing and dancing." " You are the singer." "Camille, it's Alix." "Listen, I've missed the train... at 13h30, but don't panic, I'll be in the 15h22 one." "So I'll be early easily." "I mean, not easily but... the main thing, I'll be on time." "That's all, hugs." "See you." "Did you wonder where I went?" "Yes." "I wasn't far." "What did you do?" "Nothing much." "And you, what did you do?" "I was looking for you." "Don't you believe me?" " I came to say goodbye to you." " I know." "I came to tell you to take care." "And you too." "There's something I should explain but I..." "You don't have to." "It's the first time..." "I've cheated on my boyfriend." "I don't think I want to know that." "Sorry." "I'm sorry." "Do you feel guilty?" "No." "It's something else." "I'm pregnant." "Already." "No, I'm serious." "It's been seven weeks now." "It's my first time." "Have you seen a doctor?" "Yes." "But I still haven't told anyone." "Not even my boyfriend." "I can't bring myself to." "I've never had a child." "I always thought I couldn't." "And for a while it was hard for me, very hard." "I've even given up." "After all these years, it... it's like the gods have sent me on some kind of mission." "Do you believe in God?" "No, I don't believe in God." "I believe in gods." "All over." "Everywhere." "Do you have any children?" "How many?" "They've had time to love me, to hate me, to accept me." "They're big now." "I'm big too." "I'm too big." "What are you afraid of?" "To lack courage." "To lack serenity." "Up until now there were two things that didn't exist for me:" "the past and the future." "Nobody expects you to have serenity." "And as for not having what it takes," "I know that you have more than enough." "You'll be happy." "Endless topic..." "For a moment," "I almost suggested that you'd come to England with me." "What held you back?" "I can read the answer." "In your eyes." "You can read my eyes?" "Let's go get some fresh air." "What are you going to do in Calais?" "Back to Ibsen, I hope." "Some guys have all the luck." "I wish I was dead and Norwegian." "You're going to be exhausted tonight." "You'll fall asleep in your plate of snails." "And what about you, are you tired?" "Yes, but..." "I have a good..." ""cervelet"." "Cervelet, I don't know how to say in English." "I don't know" "What is it?" "It allows you to go easily from one state to another" ""Cervelet" is a little brain." "So you have a little brain." "I hope not." " That's why you're never tired." " No." "It's like a little brain in the brain." "Apples." " 20 cents." " Thank you." "Your change." "Have a good day." "Bye." "If you keep eating only apples, you're going to grow tree in your belly." "What is that?" "I haven't drawn since I'm 16." " Is that me?" " Are you horrified?" "I think it's..." "I think it's flattering." " Can I keep it?" " Hm." "A bit of humour, that is life." "If you're anorexic, to have dinner, it's better" "A bit of humour, that is life" "Soon it'll be the elections, you'll have to vote for a jerk" "A bit of humour, that is life." "If tomorrow we'll still, work it out well..." "It's because we're still alive." "Four fat lumps" "And choruses" "Look at these going over here." "With the alpine horns." " Camille, it's Alix." " Alix!" "We'll play tonight in the end." "'In the end'?" "Were we supposed not to play?" "Didn't you get my second message?" "I couldn't get them." "I have no battery since morning." "There was a huge blackout at the theater." "Everything stopped, we were so afraid." "But they managed to fix everything." "So, yes, we'll play tonight." "In fact, it's quite a miracle." "Really... that's crazy." "I was just calling to tell you that I won't be at the theater before 8," " so that you won't panic." " Why, are you still in Paris?" "Don't worry, I'll catch the 18h05 train." " It's past five o'clock now!" " I know." "Did Jean-Louis tell you something else about yesterday's performance?" "Later..." "I hang up or you'll miss your train." "Go now, I'm beginning to freak out." "You're going at once?" "Ok?" "I'm here." "Hug." "See you later." "Hello?" "Alix?" "Hello." "I can't tell you, mister." "You're at the Marie Stuart, a café." "No, I can't tell you who called, you know it's pretty crowded today." "Impossible, there's way too much noise." "I'm sorry." "What's happening?" "What if I ask you now?" "What?" "What if I ask you to come with me?" "Are you going to turn into a pumpkin?" "I really have to go." "I really have to." "I can't believe you're gonna act tonight." "It's strange." "I'm nervous for you." "Don't be." "Everyone acts." "And no less an actor than you in front of your students." "I'm sure you know stage fright as well as I do." "You know your lines?" "They are the only thing I do know" "I don't want to make you late." "I still have six minutes." "You should go, Alix." "It's the first time you call me by my name." "What's yours?" "Doug." "What?" "Douglas." "Douglas." "Douglas." "Doug." "Doug." "We'll... do better... in another life with... other gods to watch over us." "This life is long." "Isn't it?" "Look after yourself." "You too." "Hello, this is Antoine's..." "I'll call back." "Thank you." "Hello?" "Hello." "Alix, do you hear me?" "Yes I do, but..." "I thought I wouldn't ever anymore." "I tried to call you all day long." "I forgot my charger at the hotel." "Didn't you get my message?" "No, sorry but I had a rather tricky day." "Right now I'm surrounded by an flock of three year olds." "A true army." "There are at least 115." " Are you joking?" " Not at all." "I'm in Ivry for a documentary film about childcare centers." "The sound engineer had a scooter crash his morning." "I stood in for him but now, I'm so tired I don't know my name anymore." "Wait." "Listen before telling me." "Can you meet me in Calais tonight?" " In Calais?" " Yes." "Do you work tomorrow?" "I don't but..." "I'll never be on time to see you play." "I don't care." "I just want to see you and be with you." "And above all, I have something to tell you." "What?" "Can you or not?" " Of course, I can." "What's the matter?" " I'll tell you." "I have to go." "The train is leaving." "Don't worry!"
