"Get it?" "Now let's try to gallop." "Close your right eye." " l can't." " So close the left one." " Close an eye." " Strange lesson!" "It's very important." "Keep one eye ready in case you get mud in the other." "You know, what I just told you... is an old Balsan family secret." "I'll become the best rider around." "Could take months, if not years." "So what?" "I should have been wary." "Sent you back while I still could." "What is this outfit?" "Where's the dress I gave you?" "At my window." "I felt like a walking curtain." "Too bad." "You almost looked feminine." "Disappointed?" "They'll think I'm a cheap date." "Not bad!" "Dear Aunt, allow me to pay my respects." "Excellent, Etienne." "Take this, Auntie!" "They come less for the actress than for the tart who ruined this count or that heir." "No one cares about my acting." "Its relaxing, like being a tourist attraction or a monument."

""Has anyone seen Coco?" "Coco in Trocadero?"" "Come on, sing!" "Sing!" "We're bored!" "Make an effort." "Make it look like you're having fun." "You're here to entertain." "So sing." "She's accepted your invitation." "Do you know "Coco"?" "Or else, no more riding." "Just bread and water." "Can I see?" "Your book." "Even stupid books have some truth to them." "Think what the other books can teach you." "I was looking for you I knew I'd find you here." "Books are meant to be read, Aren't they?" "And horses to be mounted..." "Come on!" "Get dressed." "You're elegant." "Nothing scares you." "What's your name?" "Gabrielle..." "But everyone calls me Coco." "They call me Boy." "But in England, I'm Arthur Capel." "The problem with nicknames is that they stick." "My father used to call me Coco." "He'd wake me up shouting "cock-a-doodle-do!"" "It soon became Coco-doodle." "And it stuck." ""Has any of you seen Coco..."" "Her big number at the saloon." "Nice choice, right?" "Her Coco, me Rico." "Coco-rico!" "Am I interrupting?" "I was admiring her style." "Her style..." "Don't overdo it or I'll lose my tailor." "She likes dresses with no corsets, shoes with no heels." "hats with no feathers..." "That's my Coco." "You're right to opt for simplicity." "You think so?" "I like things when they overflow." "No meat on these bones!" "Stop it." "No" "I disagree." "You're right." "Her look is rather pleasant." "Stick to your horse dung!" "Are you sick?" "So be nice." "Get up, get dressed and come downstairs." "They're all waiting." "Good for them." "What's wrong, Coco?" "I hate entertaining your degenerates." "I'm tired of your mood swings." "The lord of the manor is tired." "What's new?" "Don't use that tone." "I'll speak as I please!" "Just shut up." "You're the boor!" "Without your money You'd lose your friends!" "Okay..." "Forget it." "Come down when you're calm." "I'll never calm down!" "What do you think?" "Play with your rich scions, dumb jockeys and whores!" "All I do is perfect my gallop and screw a drunk!" "The gate's open." "You're not forced to stay." "When people see us, know they wonder how can this elegant woman love such a fat man?" "I'm not that fat." "I'm losing weight at the moment." "Yes, but you're not very attractive." "I'm kind." "You're more than that." "You're understanding, talented, charming." "Such is my dilemma." "My lover is more like a husband." "Okay.." "let me think." "You're not shapely." "but you're attractive." "And amusing." "There's Romain Neuville." "Great family." "Cultivated." "He'll show you around." "Get you out of the stables." "Who's this?" "But he's not much fun." "I know a Duke also." "On the old side, but generous." "I want to work" "To make a living." "To be an actress." "You're too old to be an ingénue." "And work... what a strange idea!" "You're famous." "You know people." "You can find me something." "Something..." "What did you do before Balsan?" "Nothing." "Some sewing." "That's easy enough to do in Paris" "Not a bad idea." "You're talented." "Everyone loves your straw hats." "You can work at a hat shop." "I don't want to!" "You want, but you don't know what." "Emilienne, help." "Does Balsan know your plans?" "Hurry back to the castle." "Tell him I asked you to come here." "Don't tell him you want to leave." "Tighter" "Don't take it badly." "BaIsan is easy going." "You're lucky." "Make the most of it." "Lucky?" "Hungry?" "Muffins" "Perfectly tasteless." "The English adore them." "Boy, what about all that coal you had me buy?" "Because with all due respect, war is brewing." "I hope so." "I'll resell it for a fortune." "Buying coal?" "I think Mr Capel would do anything to become England's leading businessman." "Sell my coal!" "I pay you well!" "Without his advice." "I'd have to work, like Montlaur." "Montlaur... what a clod." "Work is a vile word." "Worse ways to make a living." "Yes, but none more tiring." "Mr. Burton is here." "The breeder from Cardiff." "Let's go." " Coming?" " I'll join you." "You'd better." "Because my english is shoddy and Heart of Darkness is a horse for me." "By the way, don't frighten her." "She has the annoying habit of..." "Vanishing." "I was afraid I'd never see you again." "Aren't you happy here?" "You should go." "It seems you're indispensable." "Why won't you answer?" "If I had to answer every question..." "Do you work or just pretend to?" "You tell me." "No one works here." "Perhaps I'd like to have pretended." "I had no choice." "My mother was lacking... a little something... so my father would marry her." "An aristocratic name, as you say in France." "I was raised by foreign hands." "Don't make that face." "Do I seem unhappy?" "Otherwise, I'd never have read a book, traveled or learned anything." "But perhaps you'd Iike me more." "It's too austere." "You asked for orphan garb." "What do you know?" "Orphans wears rags." "Poor things are haIf-naked." "Rip my dress a bit." "Please..." "You're no fun!" "The point is to see thighs, breasts." "It's more exciting to imagine them." "Stubborn as an ass!" "Gabrielle?" "You're beautiful." "It's nice to see you." "How do look?" "Plain." "Who wants to be plain?" "This is a disaster!" " Still the boy?" " Less disorienting for you." "And I stuck to horse dung." "Can you fix this?" "It's too baggy." "It's to let you move about." "I can feel my fat jigging inside." "I want it tighter." "You'd prefer not to breathe?" "She has an answer for everything!" "Good-looking pirate!" "What can do for you?" "Nothing" "I don t believe in your happiness" "All I need is a job." "You must have one with all that coal." "Nothing really suited for a woman." "What's the point in being a businessman?" "To impress you." "Who do you think you are?" "Caught one!" "Caught one!" "Caught one!" "And what a catch!" "Stop, Hubert!" "I'm not playing." "That's enough!" "It's a dormitory here!" "So quiet!" "You were right." "My orphan outfit drives them wild!" "Ever been in love?" "It never made me happy." "What is it like?" "What do you feel?" "Good, bad, what?" "Where did you come from?" "What's it like to be in love?" "It's hurts, hurts..." "Hurts, doesn't it?" "What are you doing?" "I'm leaving." "But the game's not over." "I have no business here." "You do." "Balsan is counting on you." "You know exactly why I'm here." "You can't go off in the night." "At least wait till daybreak." "Goodnight, Gabrielle." "Stay a bit." "Why should I?" "I'm not used to undressing boys." "Look who it is!" "Let's have some coffee." "Where's your eye patch?" "I lost it in a brawl." "My friend, you missed a wild game of hide-and-go-seek." "Emilienne was great." "She bit a servant." "Seen Coco by any chance?" "She hid so well I never found her." "Does she often disappear?" "It's rather recent." "Are you fond of her?" "Since when do you care?" "Since yesterday." "She's a charming companion." "Very pleasant." "Mind if I borrow her for two days?" "Like her that much?" "I like her." "Does she want to go with you?" "I think so." "Then be my guest." "It'll clear her head." "First time I've seen the sea." "Showing off her silverware." "Her dress is so tight, She'll split in two." "These meringues on their heads!" "Like being in a pastry shop!" "I'm embarrassed for them." "You're an anarchist." "A good sense of distaste." "You didn't make that up." "It's Jules Renard." "New reading habits." "Tonight we'll go dancing at the casino." "You don't mind being seen with me?" "What a strange idea." "I don't have a dress for that" "Make a more elegant version of this one" "What about a color that's really a color?" "This is perfect." "The fabric is even more beautiful in pink." "Better suited for your complexion." "Only black shows off the eyes." " I'll take this lace too." " Perfect." "Make the neckline 10 centimeters lower." "And no corset." "Without a corset it will be shapeless." "In that case add a belt." "Do as I say." "Very well." "Every woman is looking at you." "No, they're looking at you!" "I'll kidnap you as soon as I return." "Not even saying goodbye?" "A real race car!" "May I?" "Go ahead." "Impressive." "Careful, you may get hooked." "How was the trip?" "Did you enjoy yourselves?" "What did you do?" "I thought you were a very busy man." "Worried?" "No, not worried." "I cleared my head." "She may not seem it, but she's fragile." "Don't play games with her." "I know." "Does she know?" "Etienne..." "It's up to me to tell her." "Charming scene, isn't it?" "You with your hats... me watching..." "Peaceful image of a happy couple." "To think you were off with another man!" "How was Deauville?" "Nice." "Especially the sea." "What did you do?" "We went dancing." "He's not ashamed of me." "In England, we'd dance with the Queen." "I saw fishermen hauling in their nets." "Men in blue with their shiny catches." "I'll take you to the sea." "Show you real fishing." "You never leave your castle." "You're wrong." "I love the sea." "Not so long ago," "I harpooned a shark from an old boat in England." "I don't believe you at all." "Ask him." "Boy?" "Four years ago, to be precise." "What was he like?" "Not handsome, but... charming." "Not you... him" "Irresistible, of course." "We were all very jealous." "He stole our mistresses but always with... such elegance." "That's what we like about English charm." "Elegance." "Was he often in love?" "But they were." "It led to some awful scenes." "He left a trail broken hearts." "France, England..." "Wherever there was an ocean, a sea." "I don't know why but... whenever he gets infatuated he takes the girl to the seaside." "Strange, isn't it?" "You're jealous." "Terribly so." "Gabrielle?" "What are you doing here?" "I had to see you." "Come in." "So... what's so important?" "In "The Love Room", remember why Blanche travels the world?" "She loved the Prince." "Exactly." "No... not you." "I don't know what's gotten into me." "I feel so stupid." "I want to get married." "Gabrielle..." "What do his folks say?" "He's a self-made man." "You're lucky." "You've never been prettier." "Maurice's folks won't meet me." "Not over their dead bodies." "So, let them die." "Almost there." "Careful." "It's yours." "It's the love of your life." "Exactly." "I can't take Snow White" "Of course you can." "I'm leaving." "Sorry to..." "I'm smiling because..." "I let the fox into the coop." "But my moodiness tires you." "Don't rush into this." "What's gotten into you?" "You used to lock me in a closet." "I was a total idiot." "This is your home." "You'll live in England?" "I guess so." "You don't know?" "There or elsewhere." "For better or for worse." "One way of putting it." "It hurts a bit, all the same." "Is that normal?" "You'll get over it." "Of course." "In fact, no." "I don't want you to leave." "I'm afraid." "Afraid you'll be unhappy." "Afraid you'll suddenly lose everything." "Why do you say that?" "It's not for me to tell you..." "Boy is marrying an Englishwoman." "That's nonsense." "Marrying for money." "He was born a bastard and she's rich." "Her father is an English coal magnate." "I'm sorry, Coco." "What made me think you had become a gentleman?" "Open up." "Open up, please." "Forget what I told you." "I'm sorry." "Open up." "Very chic in that striped thing, darling." "This is Sophie, from the Follies." "She can't believe a wild child makes my hats."
