"Shit, what a jerk!" "A STONE IN THE MOUTH" "Fuck her!" "Take your shirt off." "Quick!" " God bless you." " Thank you, monsieur." " Not on my parquet!" " Excuse me." "I broke another Porto glass, I'm so clumsy, today." "The storm get on your nerves." " Does monsieur will need me tonight?" " No, not tonight." "The most pleasant things mustn't become habits." "I'll put your meal on the heat." "I brought up from the cellar three bottles of Bordeaux." "Good initiative." "From next week we'll put Jules Verne aside for some time." "And..." "I'd like you to read me "The 3 musketeers" again." "They screened the show not long ago on TV." "A fat lot of good that does to me!" "Excuse me, I didn't mean to upset you." "Don't apologise, my child." "Not everyone can be blind." "You should better go now." "You'll finish tomorrow." " I'll flee before the rain." " Do you have your moped?" " Luckily." "See you tomorrow." "By the way..." "The other day, you put some perfume." "Friday, yes." "My husband offered me some." "Gardenia flavour." "Yes, monsieur." "Could you put a bit of it tomorrow?" "Of course." "I've seen someone passing." "I'm not a thief." "I've just been attacked on the road." "I need help." "You have nothing to be afraid of." "I don't but you do." "You won't exit that room alive if I want to." "You maybe think I didn't hear you search the kitchen?" "But, sir..." "I've been attacked in my car in the forest." "Can I sit?" " Of course you can!" "If you're hurt." "I'm not a torturer." "I'll call the police." "They'll take care of you and your car." "It's not because I'm blind and you American that I'm gonna be easy to fool." "Where are you?" "This one's always on my way!" "Drop that!" "Don't you be so familiar." "You are in my place!" "That's no explanation." "I'm not gonna spend the night explaining you why I broke in." "Stop it, you're sick!" "If you don't want to help me, I can go ask somewhere else." "You should know that, young man," "I had never refused my help to anyone." "My gun." "Did you take my gun?" "That's blood." "Have you been bleeding?" "I also borrow a shirt from you." "All this is a bit unorthodox." "I'll call the police!" "I'm not there right now but I'll call you back once home." "Speak after the beep." "I couldn't call you before." "Don't worry, everything is all right." "It's almost 11 and I'm spending the night in a house." "I'll call you again if I must leave." "Just make yourself at home!" "You can take my slippers too!" "That's confinement!" "Do you hear me?" "It's me, Odette." "Answer me." "Victor, are you ill?" "Victor, is that you?" "What number are you asking?" "Isn't it 82 24 78?" "No, it's 8 2 2 4 7 9." "Isabelle, it's me again." "I give you the phone number of the place I stay:" "You dial 16, 46, and then 8 2 2 4 7 8." "Call me once you're back and don't forget to delete the tape." "I'll show him." "You naughty one." "Sit down, sit down!" "Come on!" "What's the matter?" "Don't you hear?" "How old do you think I am?" "You're my mirror, answer me!" " I don't know you." " Impossible!" "Lights on!" "I can't hold you anymore and yet I can still see you." "Fatale vision!" "Just what we needed." "Enjoy your meal, gentlemen!" "Oh, honest ministers!" "Virtuous counsellors." "Thief!" "Thief!" "My casket." "Yeah, of course..." "It doesn't ring a bell to him." "I should have known that." "I should have known that." "When I was a child" "I was dreaming about becoming an actor." "You did the right choice, it's not... not a work anyone can do." "By the way..." "How did you exit the bathroom?" "Ghosts can walk through the walls." "A bit more coffee?" "Just a drop." "What time is it?" "Almost 9." "If the clock is right." "You could say "God bless you"!" "God bless you." "Do you want to know what a blessing would be?" "To have 30 years old and see with my eyes." "Even short-sighted, that would be fine." "Here... this little scar here can you see it?" "It went in here and out there." "I'm talking to you!" "Yes, yes, I see!" "The two optic nerves severed in one shot." "Without a hitch!" " What was it?" " A piece of shrapnel." "A shell that pulverised sergeant Legoff at the same time." "A very friendly Breton." "Stubborn..." "Where did that happen?" "In the Maginot line." "You've maybe heard about it?" "Regarding that, I'd like to show you... a few things." "You were an actor?" "Yes!" "If you don't mind!" "And you fought the war?" "You think actors only fight wars in the movies." "No, sir." "I've been wounded in June 1940." "That's fast." "A shell and then nothing." "Or more exactly, just black and your head heavy as a anvil." "Because of a shell." "Not even that, a piece of it." "A piece of steel smaller than a nail." "And for what?" "It didn't take long before they start again." "And better and better :" "napalm, missile..." "And tomorrow, the grand finale..." "Goodbye, everyone." "Curtain!" "The play is over." "Sometimes, I envy my late wife." "She wasn't asking herself any question." "She made a pact with Him, up there." ""I give you two hours a day." "Prayer, confession, mass, communion..." "In return, You guarantee me a rumble seat."" "Can I turn the radio on?" "I'm speaking!" "You break into my place to threaten me, you imprison me into my own bathroom, you steal my pistol from me, you use my phone, you get on my nerves with your gobbledygook and you want to know if you can turn the radio on!" "What can I refuse you?" "Turn it on!" "What's happening exactly?" "I'm in deep shit!" "That's what's happening!" "What's happening to you?" "You killed someone, the police is after you?" "I can maybe understand if you explain me." "Explain what?" "What!" "?" "Don't yell like this, you're breaking my eardrums." "If I broke into your place that's because there's guys who want to kill me." "You understand?" "Why would someone kill you?" "Listen, there's plenty of new reasons to would kill people today." "Pour me some more coffee, please." "I'm not used to interfere in other people's business but usually when one is attacked and his car stolen, one complain to the police." "Especially since as you're saying your aggressors want you dead for some obscure reason." "Especially since as an American citizen you can ask for help at your consulate." "If you tell me you also betray your country" "That's another..." " Cut the bullshit!" "Bullshit..." "Exactly." "I'm sure during the war you could have been on the wrong side." "Listen." "Let me handle that." "You can trust me." "Yes?" "Excuse-me but we're looking for someone." "A mentally ill who escaped from the hospital last night." "We're checking if he's not around." "Mentally ill?" "You mean mad?" " Exactly." "A madman." "A real one." "Dangerous?" "Not more than the others." "Did you see him?" "How's your guy looking?" "Fair, dark-haired, tall, short...?" "He's dark-haired, medium sized." "He's an American." "Did you see him?" " The same as I see you." "Seen and heard." "He woke me up in the middle of the night." "Is he still in your house?" "I kicked his bottom out of my house, it didn't take long." "He left without further ado." "He headed to the village." "At what time was that, sir?" "About 3 a.m." "Sorry to have bothered you." "I told you not to call me Daniel." "Are you dumb?" "You can go out." "Your male nurses are gone." " Thank you." " Did you think I was an informer?" "You must know you're taking risks." "I like risks." "I didn't know you were mentally ill." "It was a guest room." "Make yourself at home." "But you already did, actually." "Thanks, you'll make me feel embarrassed." "I feel like you're not an easily embarrassed one." "There's hot water." "I mean almost." "And what you need to shave." "The sea is over there." "You can't see it from here but by stormy weather, we can sometimes hear it." "If the wind is blowing that way." "Close the shutters." "I let the window open to air the room." "There's a musty smell, don't you think?" "He doesn't think." "For the moment, just enjoy the quietness." "I let you rest." "It's perfectly fine, Victor." "If there's a phone call for me, please wake me up." "I gave your number to someone." " You gave my number?" " Yes, I took that liberty." " One more or one less, it's all the same." "And how would I know it's your call?" "The person who's gonna... who might phone is called Isabelle." " Isabelle?" " Yes." " And you?" "Tony and Isabelle." "Why not?" " How is your wound?" " It's bearable." "If it gets worst, we'll have to call Dr. Poincart." "Is it working?" " Yes, it is." "Later, I'll show you some pictures." "That will maybe interest you." "I have to ask you to give me back my pistol." "When I have guests, I prefer if they're unarmed." "Thank you, young man." "Your trust is honouring me." "I leave you alone, now." "Sleep in peace." "Victor Bourden's speaking." "I won't need you today." "My sister is coming so..." "You understand, I prefer..." "In the closet, yes." "I'll manage." "Don't worry." "Thank you, Suzanne." "See you tomorrow." "With the perfume." "That would be just what I need." "Hello, flowers." "Got it?" "You just keep your pretty face shut and it's gonna be fine." "I'm going there to set up a family matter." "Family matters aren't fun, they always end badly." "All I ask you is not to let him notice you're here, ok?" "Got it?" " That's fine." "You'll see, there's still all my aunt's clothes." "It's like a regular flee market upstairs." "Don't worry, I won't make any noise, I'll behave like an angel." "You'd better do that, I don't want my folks to hear about it." "Let me drive." "You weren't saying that yesterday night." "It was yesterday night." "Not now." "Look, we're there." "That's Dracula's castle!" "It's scary!" "Don't talk nonsense or I lock you up in the trunk." "Uncle Victor?" "It's me, Marc." "Uncle Victor?" "To what do I owe this unpleasant surprise?" "Mum tried to call you last night and... you didn't answer." "So she was worried to death." "You must be joking!" "You can tell your mother the old man is alive and well." "And has no intention to pass away whatsoever." "Not now, anyway." "When are you leaving?" " Give me five minutes," "I just drove 120 kms and I'm starting to be a bit hungry." "Mum gave me this for you." "You're trying to wheedle the old man with some petty things." "Bunch of vultures!" "Vultures?" "You're going too far." " I know, I know," ""The old man is losing his marbles, he's getting mad."" ""Dotty" as you're saying." "Well, you haven't much to do about it if your parents are rascals." "You're right, uncle Victor, they're scumbags." "What a pity to speak about your parents like this." "Come in anyway." "What are you waiting for?" "Are you taking root?" "Want some?" " No, thanks." "Sad times." "Youngsters no longer like Porto wine." "Cheers, rascal." "And your studies?" "Still bad?" "Yes." "You didn't open the box." "Want me to do it?" "Go ahead, open it." "I bet it's a dressing gown." " Yeah." " See?" "No, it's a smoking jacket." " I was wrong." " You should try it." "All right, give it to me." "All-wool, guinea pig crossbred." "But let's not be fussy." "How do I look?" "Great." "Exactly your size." " What colour?" " Deep brown." "Nigger brown, if you prefer." " I don't, it's an old people colour." "It's probably a shutter again." "Nothing close properly here." "You should have someone coming anyway, the roof is really in bad shape." "With what money?" "You people really think I'm Croesus." "You'll do what you want when all will be yours." "For the moment, I like it that way." ""I don't care if the world collapse after I'm gone", right?" " Exactly." "You're right, uncle Victor, that's also my motto." "The youth doesn't know much about the world's collapse." "Where were you?" " Nowhere." " Nowhere..." "You bet!" "Give me the corkscrew." " Suzanne doesn't come anymore?" " She does but she's sick at the moment." "She has a Vincen't stomatitis." "Smell this." " Do we eat here?" " No, in the dining-room." "Find the confit and put it on the heat." "I hope you're not too hungry, there's nothing else." "Marc, give me my cane." "It must be somewhere." " I found this in the kitchen." " This what?" "An old shrivelled up sausage." "Sausage yourself." "Are you saying I'm eating parings?" "Got my cane?" "Give it to me!" "You brat!" " You set the table for three?" " Bravo, you know how to count!" " You really are very clever." " Of course, very very clever." "Finish to set the table, I'm going upstairs." "Uncle Victor..." "The silverware is on the right drawer, in the red box." " How did you guess?" " There's nothing to guess." "The silverware has been in the same place for years." " Who just arrived?" " My nephew." "Would you accept to eat with us?" "I don't really want to be alone with him." "There's goose confit and I opened a very special bottle." " Are you sure that..." " Absolutely." "He's bloody-minded and can't see beyond the end of his nose." "But he's sometimes funny." "Did you find a razor?" " Yes, what about the girl?" "The girl?" "What girl?" " The one who arrived with your nephew." " I can't believe it." "Less loudly." "She's in the other room." " The room on the left?" " Yes..." "Listen." "Who is she?" "Why is Marc hiding her?" " I don't know." " He's maybe planning some dirty trick." "Nephews gladly knocked their old uncles out nowadays." "What does she look like?" "I barely saw her." "There must be a bull's eye above the door, can you see it?" " A bull's eye?" " Yes, I mean... a small oval window." "Okay." "Climb on the seat to watch into the next room." "Come on, do it!" "Get on the seat." "Come on." "Describe me the intruder." " Did you see my uncle?" " When, now?" "You're mad!" "It's totally beyond me." "I don't get it." "You want to let me die an ignorant?" "Who is she?" "I don't know." "Come." "Be a good girl, we have time before lunch." "Come." "Not now!" "Did you find who is she?" "Come on, don't be silly." "Stop it!" " Come on, don't be silly." " Stop it, you're hurting me!" "Stop, or I scream." "Scream, and I'll give you a trashing." "Bitch." "My uncle often helped me for the Latin class." "Some more wine, uncultivated nephew!" "You learnt English for 10 years and you can't even make yourself understand!" "I'm very happy with this small gathering." "Me too, uncle." "Only all the rest of the family is missing." "I told you he was funny." "Are you a student?" "He's studying laziness." "That's true, I hope to graduate and do nothing until I retire." " And he's proud of himself!" "He's proud!" "Felix, Felix..." "Where is she ?" "Is it a girl?" "100% girl." "So..." "Are you expecting the cheese to walk its way here by itself?" "I'll get it." "If it's a she-cat, why do you call her Felix?" "Cats are always Felix to me." "Isn't it, Billy ?" "I keep on telling her the cheese mustn't be put on the fridge." "But she goes her own way." " Who?" " Suzanne." "My dresser, as I call her." "A very good girl." "Very good." "You never mentioned your American friend." "It's a long story." "The house is haunted, Marc." "I just find this out recently." "Did you know it?" " No, I didn't." "One night, I heard strange noises." "What kind?" "Undefinable." "Coming with a kind of whispering" "A whispering?" "A lament coming from somewhere." " But from where?" " This, I don't know." "Is it from the cellar?" "From the attic?" "It's a mystery." "I maybe dreamed, after all." "You've got cigarettes?" "You know, Victor..." "I'm glad I came to see you." "Glad I met your nephew." "I've things in common with him." " Which ones?" " Which ones?" "A taste for mystery and beautiful cars." "There's nothing better than a good horse or a mare with a firm croup." "Can I have one too?" "You didn't answer, before." "How do you know each other?" "Figure..." "Africa." "Just before the war." "Near the Arabian desert." "The night... you could hear the hyenas sniggering." "You never heard the sniggering of a hyena..." "That gives you the creeps." "It looks a bit like this :" "More or less." "So there was lying on the warm sand... under a blue veil a young and beautiful woman, with, in a reed basket, her baby." "She was the mother of Antoine, here." "She had escaped from a caravan that was about to sell them as slaves." "Only child of a rich" "Maltese merchant... no, Genovese..." "A rich Genovese merchant who had his boat attacked by Maltese pirates." "So... the poor child died soon after I took her under my protection." "Antoine is probably the descendant of a cruel Maltese pirate." "What is your name, my child?" "Don't be afraid." "I won't hand you over to the pirates!" "My name's Jacqueline." "Everybody calls me Jackie, sir." "So be it... in those Americanisation times..." "Well Jackie, I feel sadden that you accepted to fool a blindman with this hide and seek game." "Because I know you're here from the beginning, of course." "Uncle, it's almost unintentional if Jackie..." "Shut up!" " I promise that..." " Shut up, I said, or you go back to your mother!" "Be kind enough to pour a drink to our young friend." "You're maybe hungry too?" " No, no!" "Really." "And excuse me for all this, it's my fault." "The weaker sex should never apologise." "Hands off!" "I'm a gentleman, that's all." "You've got a wandering hand!" "What's happening exactly?" "Your guest is hitting on Jackie without asking me if I don't mind." "Actually, I don't give a shit." "You'd better go make some coffee, as you're standing." "Would be better than talking nonsense." "Nonsense, my balls." " I think I'd better go too." " You do that, my child." "Goodness, what a youth!" "Let's go to the living-room, I'm starting to get stiff." "There must be a packet around here." "Be kind enough to give it to me." "Are you out of your mind?" "You have no rights over me." "Not because we've been fucking together for the last three days." "Leave me alone, will you?" "Now I look like a fool." "You always look like a fool, anyway." "You just had to keep quiet." "Keep quiet?" "How could I know there was someone else?" "Get the cups, I don't know where it is." "Neither do I." "Come on, let's not fight together." "Do you fancy me dressed like this?" "I better like you with trousers." "Really?" "I don't think so." "This material is great." "It's mostly full of dust." " Your uncle is a first grade storyteller." " You mean a first grade bullshitter!" "You just have interest for nothing." "A wizened old man clowns around and you think you're Marlene Dietrich." " He still looks good for his age." " Oh, yeah?" "In the village, they're saying his maid Suzanne is doing him blow jobs." "And I think he'll be glad to have a younger one." "You're disgusting." "He's probably nicer than you are." "And he probably knows how to do it." " What?" "Come on!" "You looked like you like it, anyway." " Leave me alone." "Only sex matters for guys like you." "Stop it!" "What were you about to do?" "What did you think?" "That I was gonna disfigure you?" "You're watching too much horror movies." "Are you listening at the door?" "Excuse me." "Are you leaving tonight?" "We're not." "I wouldn't had take you, anyway." "We can speak frankly, we're dating the same girl." " Are you afraid for Isabelle?" " Afraid, me?" "You must be joking!" "And her name is Jackie, not Isabelle." "Forget it." "You'd like to spend a moment with her alone, aren't you?" "I'd play dominoes with my uncle in the meanwhile." " Don't you want some coffee?" " No, thanks." "Those flowers are beautiful." "It's so soft, like silk." " It's orchids." "This one is a cypripedium calceolus." "In French, we call it "Sabot de Vénus"" "because of the characteristic shape of the label." "These things really are complicated." "And this one here..." "It's the first time I see orchids for real." "Look..." "La rosée blanche" "A very common kind in temperate Europe." "And the purple one, here..." "Don't laugh!" "Do you know there's more than 25 000 kinds of orchids divided in 700 types." " 25 000?" " Is that making a lot?" " It makes 25 000." "It's the most varied and youngest family of the vegetable kingdom." "Wait..." "Here, where are you?" " No, don't cut it!" "Let me adorn you with it." "Come closer." "Don't move." "Hey, but that's..." "I know that material." "I understand." "You, little brat!" "But you did right." "Anyway, it's better on you than moth-eaten in the bottom of a box." "Is it your size?" " No, the skirt is too long but I put a pin." " In my days, women had more curves." "This suit, my wife bought it right after our wedding." "Is it the portrait of your wife up there?" "Yes, that's her." " She has a strange face." " Yes, actually... in reality, she was... more classic." "She took... a lot of weight after I lost my sight but..." "I could maybe not recognise her if I had saw her with my eyes." "It's funny..." "You remind me of an actor I saw the other day in an old movie." " How was it?" " The movie?" " No, the actor." " Great." "The movie was a bit out of fashion but the actor was great." "I like old movies because of the costumes, all that..." "It's sad they don't do that anymore." "No, it's not sad..." "By the way, as we're talking clothes, what do you think about my jacket?" "What colour is it?" "Nigger brown." " A colour for old people, isn't it?" " Not at all." "I like your jacket." "There's one thing wrong, that's the scarf." "My neck line doesn't get along with it?" "Too bad for it!" "Tell me..." "Marc..." "Is he nice with you?" " I know him only for three days..." " Three days?" " Yes, three days." "Three days and yet you know him enough to knock around with him, like just before." "He always wants to fuck, I'm fed up with it." "I can understand that..." " Am I right?" " Absolutely right." "That's true, there's other things in life." "Of course, there's other things." "A lot more." "Do you know what would be nice?" " Yes?" "If you could come back to see me once." "Alone." "Or with some girlfriends." "I have plenty of trunks full of old clothes, so..." "Your coffee must be cold, do I reheat it for you?" "No, thanks." "I like cold coffee." "Jackie is also a man's name." " It's unisex." "It suits you very well." "Really?" "Are you daydreaming?" "I'd like to ask you a favour." " Is it?" " The keys." "What keys?" " The car keys." " Be quiet on the piano, please!" "Why, do you want to try it?" "That's not exactly what I meant." "I want to take it from him, for a few hours." "You mean steal it!" "I'll give it back to him in perfect shape." "That's not very nice." "I barely know him." "It makes only three days." "And he already slapped me twice." "You don't like it?" "It depends who." "Me, would you like it?" "I don't know." "Stop whispering, over there!" "Come on." "Let's go." "You said tonight." "I changed my mind." "Come on, we're leaving." "Go away if you want to and don't bother us." "Come, I said, I want to go." "I'm staying." "You're pissing me off!" "You've been pissing me off all day." "And if you want to know, I don't like your face." "Let me tell you two things." "One : if you want to play the tough guy, go all the way." "Two : you're leaving now!" "But before, give back the money you stole in the study." "What money?" " And how dare you hit me?" " Don't be a fool, I saw you." "Hurry up, I won't say it again." " Marc, listen to me..." " Don't move." "Is he gone?" "Good riddance!" "That's true that in those wretched days, nephews are up to strip their uncle of his meagre savings." "Watch out!" "You're not showing off anymore, huh?" "Hands up!" "Quick!" "Don't move." "He's capable to shoot." " Marc, come, we're leaving." " Shut up!" "Don't piss me off." "Playing bullies is over for you." "Stay where you are, Victor." "Don't move, uncle." "Just do as he says." "Get the hell out of here!" "Not only you knock around in my place, but you rob me on top of that." "Out, get lost!" "Don't let me see you again." " Do as he says." "Get the hell out of here!" "Are you coming, Jackie?" "Go away, Miss, I feel tired." "Sir, I'm wearing your wife's suit." "Keep it, you deserve it." "Come, you cunt!" "Such vulgarity..." "I'll leave at 6:30." "I'll call you back later." "Don't worry, everything's all right." "I love you." "I feel so sad about what happened." "This kid has been spoiled by his parents." "They cry over their lot but they managed to buy a villa in St Tropez." "As if my poor sister was still in age to act like a vamp." "Do you need money?" "Do you have... a clock, a watch?" "No but... in my room you'll find a watch pocket in my night table." "Be careful, there's no window." "Are you leaving?" "Yes." "I asked for a taxi." " Here I come." " Fill it up." "At the back, on the left." "It's written." "He doesn't need money..." "My neck line doesn't get along with it..." "Nigger brown..." "Nigger brown." "You were almost out of oil." "I can't believe there's guys like you!" "I'll buy you another one if it can make you happy." "I don't think so, you're broke." "Stop playing with that, ok?" "Stop it or you go and get it back by foot." "You're bugging me." "And take this fucking orchid off!" "I see plenty of weird people." "Why?" "There's a madman wandering around." "An American." "He's smaller than you, middle-sized." "He probably hurt himself when he jumped off the wall of the hospital." "He escaped last night." "You know, me, guys on foot..." "He could have borrowed a car." "If I see him, I'll call the police." "Keep the change." "Thanks, chief." "Just think that some people on TV would like to see the looneys left free." "It's an upside down world, my good man." "Have a nice ride, chief." "Did you spoke of an American hurt on his left arm." "Are you sleeping?" " Can I use the phone?" " Yes, on the desk." "I knew that bastard was crazy." "Did you see his eyes?" "What about his eyes?" "Don't you understand he's totally insane?" "They're looking for him to lock him up!" "I mostly understand that you're a scumbag!" "You fingered a poor guy." " Oh, come on." "I'm the one who has been kicked in the balls." "Hey you, don't try to fuck with me, I don't like dirty tricks." "It's solidly built." "You're gonna hurt yourself, that's all your gonna get." "Open up!" "Please don't use bad language." "Until now you behaved rather well for a fugitive." "I'll be grateful if you don't disappoint me now." "Tell me what you want." "I don't want anything from you." "What could you offer to me, anyway?" "Open the door, I'm leaving." "And we forget about it." "What do you say?" "And what if I ask you not to leave?" " What?" " You understood what I said." "I was thinking that you could stay longer if you want to." "Listen, Victor..." "I have to go." "It's a matter of life and death." "That's what they say." "I'm not playing anymore!" "I know you're here and you're gonna do as I say." "And I'm telling you you can't go." "I just turned you in to the police for burglary." "I told them I caught you red-handed." "I said that you locked me up and that you hurt your arm while breaking a window." "Of course..." "I gave them your description." " You're lying!" "You're lying." "I know you're lying." "I'm wondering how you could give my description?" "My nephew isn't blind as far as I know." "And his girlfriend neither." "Unfortunately for you, I'm afraid that you're more disabled than I am." "You don't need to have your eyes to detect what's true and what's not." "Do you want some tea?" " No, thanks." "What, Victor ?" "Victor can't see, but he's listening." "As always." "I'm grateful for what you did for me." "Are you sure you don't want some tea?" "How clumsy!" "I hope you're not leaving because of what happened before." "Is it good?" "Very good." "I never liked tea." "It's only coloured and perfumed water." "Isabelle... who is she?" "My wife." "A French woman?" "Yes." "I met her in New York." "Are you married?" "No." "You're right." "Marriage doesn't mean anything to love." "Have you been not married together for a long time?" "Almost 5 years." "That girl was very nice, don't you think?" "But she had something strange." "What was so strange about her?" "I don't know, it's hard to explain." "I sometimes had the feeling it was Isabelle who was there with me." "It must be the taxi." "That's the car of the men who were looking for you this morning." "I'll show you the way." "Take on the left after the shunting, there's a door who goes to the forest." "Take this." "I removed them this morning." "I don't wish you good luck." "I'll try to hold them up." "Anybody here?" "Yes, me." "To whom do I have the honour of speaking?" "Where is he?" "Stop that game, please." "I don't allow you to enter in my house." "We've just been told that the mentally ill is in your place." "No madmen ever came to this house." "There's nobody upstairs." "How could it be otherwise?" "That's no funny matter, you'd better tell us where he's hiding, or things are gonna turn bad." "I'm not as patient as Daniel." "I guarantee you that" "I saw nobody since you left." "I also know you're blind." "You really had me this morning!" "Now, it's my turn to laugh." " Stop," "I'll explain you everything." "Yes, it's true, he came back, but he left an hour ago." "I assure you it's the truth." "Open up." "Drive." " Marc turned you in." "Drive!" "Come, Daniel." "Come on." "Over there, in the forest." "Watch out!" "Fucking shit!" "I told you not to put oil!" "That's a mess, now." " Take it easy." "I cut over there, you go straight." "You're a gangster?" "Duck your head." "It's him!" "It's him!" "Wait for me!" "It's him!" "Drive!" "Wretched days." "Could you come now?" "I need you." "He's probably not far." "I shot him in the leg." "Look at this." "That way." "It goes over there." "Try to talk now." "Bastard!" "Could I speak to Tony, please?" "You are Isabelle?" "Yes, it's me." "Don't be afraid to talk to me." "Can you put Tony through, please?" "He gave me your number and..." " Tony's gone." " Gone?" "Didn't he leave a message?" "No message, no." "Listen, my child... chance and fate made that" "I've been closely involved in some events also touching you." "What do you mean?" "Our paths crossed each others for a few hours." "And your... partner spoke to me a lot about you." "Where is he?" "He loved you." "Where is he?" "Please, tell me sir." "He's dead." "The ones who were after him finally got him." "The tragedy just took place." "Cry, my child." "Cry." "There's a smell of gardenia." "Is it you?" "There's a smell of gardenia." "There's a smell of gardenia." "Is it you?" "I'll put a dressing on that wound, it must be cleaned." "It's useless." "My wounds are invisible." "Inside." "It doesn't matter since you're close to me and I desire you." "I hope for your caresses the way a beggar hopes for charity." "Don't put yourself into such a state, I'm here." "I'm here." "Yes, calm me down, virtuous woman." "Pile of entrails, sweet mercy..." "Your hands, your hands..." "And you, thunder, break the nature's pans, disperse, all of a sudden all the germs that make man ungrateful." "Translation and timing:" "Aquasantajoe" "For Cinemageddon, December 2010-January 2011"
