"It's the crime story." "Hold the line." "Send in the boxer." "Back in the ring again..." "like a real champ." "Hurry up, boys." "Get him ready." "Your son's a beginner." "What's this all about?" "He's got to look fierce... but natural." "Some sweat for his face." "You're kidding!" "Is this the fiancée?" "I'm not your type?" "That's good." "You're not mine, either." "Hello... my love." "Did you buy a dress?" "It's romantic and very expensive." "It's good quality." "Put it on." "What do they want with Samson?" "There's something funny going on." "They'll dig into his past... exploit his old relationship with our candidate... and make insinuations." "They're working up a smear campaign." "What should I do?" "Stop Samson!" "It's an electoral trick!" "Hold on..." "I don't want trouble in my place." "They're trying to con you... set you up as a faggot." "I'm normal." "I like women." "You tell them." "Say we're in love." "We're in love." "Say we're getting married." "We'll get married." "Say I'm a real man." "He's a real man." "Say you're satisfied." "I'm satisfied." "That's enough!" "Let's calm down." "He doesn't need your advice." "Turn the lights on." "Here's a little gift... for you cooperation." "What do we use?" "Print them all." "And the copy?" "Tomorrow, I'll interview him myself." "I need more time." "That's your problem!" "Look, Antoinette." "The boat docked today." "It sails on Sunday." "I need a vacation." "Get me a ticket." "Just one." "I'm due at the TV studio." "You forgot this." "Working on your will again?" "You spend your whole life on it." "Worry about your own work... and leave my life alone." "I'm ashamed of my work." "Bribing that boxer to talk." "It's disgusting!" "The boxer was paid off?" "Yes, to get him to do the interview... and the pictures." "I assumed it was your decision." "Did you know all the people there?" "Who gave him the money?" "The owner of the gym we rented." "I don't even know him." "You know all the people I know." "Not all of them." "We can go wild with all that money." "There's at least 6 million francs." "Feels funny to get rich all at once." "Get your evening news!" "New victim, new crime!" "Read about the gang war!" "Get your morning paper!" "The latest on the election campaign!" "If you're against tyranny, for liberalism." "Say no to chaos!" "Stand up for your rights!" "Don't buy a one-way ticket to dictatorship!" "You who work for a living." "Demand an end to lawlessness!" "Read all about the boxer and the candidate!" "Get your evening paper!" "Sensational revelations!" "After the gang war." "Get the real lowdown on a candidate's private life!" "Why say that?" "So you'll be ready to hear it." "Don't you care?" "I don't give a damn." "It doesn't matter." "I want to be happy... the sooner, the better!" "Okay, I won't talk." "No interview." "I'll return the money." "And we go back to the way we were?" "A bright future that never comes..." "We've got other plans." "Speak up, Samson." "Tell him!" "She's right." "You always weep over those who need money... but when they take it, you're shocked." "I'll give you the same amount... in return for your silence." "Take a trip abroad." "It's our secret." "What's all this?" "I'm leaving." "You are?" "With Samson!" "We're going for good!" "What'll you live on?" "Love and fresh water?" "Go to bed, I'm very tired." "We'll talk tomorrow." "Without me." "It's late and I'm out of cigarettes." "No more handouts from you." "I'm on my own now." "So, arm in arm, they went on welfare and had many kids..." "Stop dreaming, girl." "Jules found a job for you." "What now?" "First, he got me in as a barmaid." "Next, as a dime-a-dance girl." "More of the same?" "No, this time it's cultural..." "A bookshop!" "Science fiction?" "Fairy tales?" "Thrillers?" "Art history?" "True confessions?" "Cartoons?" "Economics?" "Oh, I know!" "Pure Poetry!" "Exactly!" "Erotica!" "I'd rather starve." "Jules, I need you!" "Sleep, little one." "Dream that you're dreaming." "Dream away, for dreams don't last forever." "Find a name for your baby, not a job for me." "A name can wait." "Give me that bag!" "It's for your own good, you fool." "Boxers are losers." "So are whores!" "I'll throw her out!" "Give that back or I'll do it!" "Watch out!" "I want my bag." "What time is it?" "Take her." "She just tried to kill her." "You're a monster!" "Got a cigarette?" "How about you?" "Where's Samson?" "At the station." "Oh, well... it's your life!" "Go with her." "I don't need him." "Yes, you do." "It's dangerous to go out alone at night." "When you get back, Samson can work in my sex shop." "We're never coming back." "What a lucky break :" "love and money." "It's the same for you, Jules." "Love fades away, money comes and goes." "So, you think I'm happy?" "Of course!" "Your papers." "Paging Laure Dediane for booth No. 3" "That's for me." "Where are the phones?" "To your left." "A call for Laure Dediane." "Booth No. 3" "Samson, where are you?" "I'm being tailed." "Where are you?" "Right near you." "Don't look and do what I say." "Wait for me at the diner." "What will you do?" "Don't worry about me." "I love you... kiss you..." "caress you..." "Hang up now." "No money." "I'm like you." "You got a bum steer." "Let me go now." "I'm late." "No money, but I found 2 tickets." "What do they want?" "All the dough." "You'll get it back." "If I do the interview?" "You don't like this either?" "It looks alright." "The food here is lousy... and expensive." "But at least it's warm in here." "Bring me something else." "You've had the whole menu." "Is that the time?" "The clock doesn't work." "Welcome to..." ""The ldeal Woman"" "Smoke?" "The Publisher of our evening paper... will describe for us... the woman of his dreams." "The ideal woman?" "I imagine her to be..." "like Dante's Beatrice... divine." "She must have the majesty of a princess... the refinement of a private school... the domestic virtues of the poor... and wild animal sensuality." "You're crazy!" "So, you missed the train?" "Coffee, please." "There once was a former prize-fighter." "For ten cents, I can name him." "Don't tell me you don't care." "Give me all your money... and I'll tell you all I know." "Hand over the bag... if you want to see him again." "I only saw him once... when they took those pictures of Samson." "But he wasn't at the station." "Did you spot anyone else?" "Can I go now?" "I'm exhausted." "Just a few more formalities." "Try to remember the killer's face." "Our artist will draw what you describe." "If it's not right... you correct him, or start all over again." "Take your time." "Seen her statement?" "A real thriller." "She implicates many VlPs." "I need your instructions." "What d'you think?" "This case might restore the public's confidence." "I don't see it that way." "On the contrary!" "It's dangerous before the elections." "Let's just nail the killer." "Later on, we'll see." "He was dark." "Not blue eyes, nor green." "They were black." "I didn't think I'd remember so well." "I hardly looked at him." "Yet I see him clearly." "But Samson's face is fading away." "I'm afraid of confusing them." "Just so long as the portrait is resembling." "It couldn't be more accurate, I assure you." "Fine!" "I'll take you home." "You have no profession?" "No sir." "What was your last job?" "Waitress in a snack bar." "How long have you been unemployed?" "Too long." "Most women in your neighborhood are prostitutes... but you're not registered as such." "If you're working at it, I can issue a permit." "No, I don't work at all." "How do you get by?" "I'm looking for a job." "I live with a friend." "She's registered." "Is she a relative?" "No sir." "We both worked at a center by the docks... with restaurants, movies, a pool and shops." "After a few months, they closed the whole works." "We all lost our jobs." "When she left the precinct, a cop drove her home." "I tailed them." "I've got her address." "I even drew you a map." "You can't stay here anymore." "It's not a good hideout." "The boss may come by." "Let's meet tonight." "Jules was fed up with his old van... so he stole a car... a really swanky one." "But with his looks... they spotted him fast." "Now he's in jail." "What about names of flowers like Rose, or Violet?" "They're not right for her." "I want a name like her father's or mine... sober!" "What about flowers for Samson?" "You're distraught." "You can't rest." "Listen, I'll close up early... and we'll go to his mother's place for the wake." "No." "It's done." "Then I'll go, but you get the flowers." "Do something." "Okay, but I don't need your money." "Get your evening paper!" "Read all about the boxer's secret!" "The latest polls in your morning paper!" "Don't move." "I want the money." "The mouth, the nose, the eyes... the forehead." "I made no mistakes... you're just like the drawing." "The money!" "No, you'll get nothing." "This crime won't pay off." "There's no one around." "Go on, kill me." "What are you waiting for?" "I was so terrified last night..." "I can't feel any more." "I can't quit now." "I'm desperate." "They all conned you?" "Mind your own business." "Just give me the money." "It's mine." "I earned it the hard way!" "So did I!" "It didn't drop from the sky." "Then, let's divide it." "Try dividing the canal." "You mean you threw it in?" "Tell me another." "You know who I am?" "Just a fall guy... with the police on his tail." "I wanted to see you." "Me too." "But dead, very dead!" "Come in." "What a strange place." "No one will see us here." "We'll have total privacy." "I'm pleased to meet you." "What do you want from me?" "We both want the killer found... before he speaks to the cops." "I can prove my hands are clean." "Even so, you set up the interview." "I simply used it." "I had nothing to do with the rest of it." "I never offered the boxer money for his revelations... and I didn't have him killed." "I just did it to help you." "I don't need help." "I'm not involved in the crime." "That was an accident." "Come over here." "No sir, the sauna is closed tonight." "An accomplice... of the killer." "He claims he's lost track of him... but he's lying." "You disobeyed me." "I told you not to kill him." "I don't like crimes either." "They're much too messy." "And there are other ways." "I always get the dirty work." "But someone must do it." "I've got to go now." "What did he want?" "To involve me in his mess... and have me share the responsibility." "But I told him off loud and clear." "You know me!" "Of course." "I know it wasn't you." "It was your buddy." "You're meeting him?" "Where?" "The port." "At what time?" "Midnight." "But where?" "It's a big port." "By the lighthouse." "The sauna's closed tonight." "Will you be around?" "Yes." "Can you help me out." "Sure." "A guy'll come by at 12." "He's short..." "I can't see." "You'll hear the car." "If he's alone, tell him I didn't get the money yet." "I'm going back for it." "He'll understand." "But if anyone's with him, don't say a word." "It's warm in here." "Yes, it's cozy." "Okay, what do you like?" "I dunno... evertyhing." "Evertyhing?" "Then you want my "Radicale"!" "It's 200 frs." "That's a lot!" "It's my specialty." "You'll love it!" "You all alone?" "Yes." "I can get another girl... but that's double rate." "Make up your mind... but fast because I'm busy." "I don't want to miss my TV show." "I asked if you live alone." "Why?" "You want to marry me?" "Cut the comedy... you're pretty cute but in here, I'm the clown." "Let's go." "Does your "Radicale" include food?" "I'm hungry." "I was saving some chicken for later... but let's shoot the works." "No holds barred with my "Radicale"!" "And now... the "Radicale"!" "Shall we get comfortable?" "Oh, my rug!" "I'm dedicated to freedom of speech." "I stay out of politics." "I just report news." "By smearing our candidate, you help... the opposition." "Not at all, I'm on record as an independent!" "Then why attack him at this time?" "I attack no one!" "I merely provide facts on personalities." "I'm not concerned with their ideals." "But when a man won't talk to your reporters... he's killed off so you can print what you like." "Wasn't Samson running away... to avoid the interview?" "We just wanted to get away... to get a fresh start in life." "You had to make sure of his silence." "Not that way." "With him dead, you can print what you like... just as you're doing!" "Murderer!" "Gentlemen, please!" "We know what the killer looks like." "This girl saw him... and he doesn't resemble you, isn't that so?" "He could be anyone." "I thought the drawing was accurate... but all police sketches look alike." "If I'm not being indiscreet... what are you doing here?" "They keep on showing me suspects... rounded up all over town." "I look at the line-up... and keep on telling them the killer's not there." "She's exhausted." "Let her go home." "This is inhuman!" "We're through for tonight." "The killer will be located in due course." "We'll deal with him." "After the elections, I trust." "He admits it!" "You'll use this for your campaign." "In any case, if our side wins... this kind of sordid affair won't happen again!" "Is that you?" "My cold's getting worse." "Why not join us for dinner?" "Here you see a picture of the victim." "The boxer's killer was seen by witnesses." "Did you know him?" "Yes." "A customer?" "No." "This is the police sketch of the killer." "Bastard!" "I'm just lying low, I won't hurt you." "Shelter a murderer?" "Never!" "There's a child here." "Don't make me use my gun." "I'm sick of it." "In that case, I'm not scared." "Okay, I'm scared!" "Talk about bad luck." "I'm out of cigarettes and I'm dead tired." "I won't tell the cops." "Just go away." "I know who lives here." "I want the money." "You're a prince." "What about my "Radicale"?" "Who's going to pay for it?" "Some wine?" "It's good!" "See?" "There's nothing up there." "Not what I hoped for... but something you want." "How do you kill a man?" "Do you always carry a gun?" "I'm a crack shot." "I once made a hit 500 yards away." "At that distance, the target..." "looks no bigger than a stamp." "Who's that?" "A blind man." "Take it easy." "He's always late!" "He'll show up!" "Sure he will." "I wish he'd get here." "Naturally!" "I'll go over there." "The keys." "We would have wished" "Would not have wished" "To live through all of this" "We could have seen" "Could not have seen" "Each other without this" "I tell myself that you tell yourself" "Where all of this will lead" "I tell you that I tell myself" "We have everything we need" "I see me see myself" "You see you see yourself" "I love me, you love you" "I see you see me" "You see me see you" "I love you" "You love me" "We see each other see" "And knowing how to see" "Is knowing we're in love" "We would have wished" "Would not have wished" "To put this into words" "What would we give" "Would not give" "To blot out all of this" "In any case, in your arms" "I let myself sleep tight" "There's reason to" "No reason to" "Dream away the night" "I see you see me" "You see me see you" "I love you" "You love me" "We see each other see" "And knowing how to see" "Is knowing we're in love" "Tell me more about the boat." "I sail on it every year when I need a rest." "But never by yourself." "True, but this time, I plan to write." "Write what?" "Always the same story." "I'm obsessed by it." "It reflects my life, my career and my image." "There was once a man... who died of hunger." "In heaven, he ate such divine food... and enjoyed so many fine wines... that he died all over again... of indigestion." "Desire is a strange thing, isn't it?" "It's late." "Nelly's waiting for me." "Thanks for the vacation." "I'll run along too." "You try too hard to please." "I'll pay." "Go away." "You'll wake the baby." "Simmer down." "Where were you?" "Let's go to the wake." "Where's her room?" "Over there." " I'll stay." " Why?" "To keep you from blabbing." "You won't hurt her?" "That's up to you." "What can I do?" "There must be something..." "Coffee!" "What do you want now?" "The money?" "It's not here." "Go on, search all you like." "You won't find it." "The cops are all over." "You're lost." "You don't have a chance." "The sooner they get you... the better." "You started so much trouble." "If you'd know, you wouldn't have killed him." "When did Samson die?" "Last night?" "He's not even buried... and I feel as if it happened ages ago." "I used to dream of his death." "Now it's real." "The others are all exploiting it." "Headlines, probes, blackmail." "What can I do with this death?" "Weep over the body like his mother?" "No, not me." "Let them bury him quickly... and throw you in jail... and never mention it again." "If you're trying to lay me this way... your gun won't make me give in." "You kill the man, then rape his woman." "But I'm not trembling at your feet." "No." "I don't want you... and I never will." "I missed Samson's wake." "Nelly probably went there." "You let her out?" "She won't turn me in." "She's too scared for you." "She's right to be scared, isn't she?" "It's heavy." "This won't work." "Do it fast." "Don't look at me." "Get up!" "Turn around!" "I can't do it." "It's hard to shoot a man who's not moving." "Samson wasn't moving." "How did you do it?" "Move, or I won't be able to..." "What do you want me to do?" "Act like you do at home." "My place is smaller." "And I never go there... except to shave." "The sink is over there." "Why did you kill him?" "He kept telling me... about his plans to leave town... to change his life... to go away... with you." "Move!" "It drove me crazy." "The towel." "Because I wanted to do the same thing." "We had the same dream." "Like him, I'd do anything... to make it come true." "Move!" "In this world... fortune smiles... on one man or the other... but never on both." "I didn't want to lose." "I wanted to be the winner." "I couldn't go home... empty-handed... and let him have you... the money... and evertyhing." "I shot him." "It was the only way to make myself heard." "If you hadn't moved, you'd be dead." "It doesn't matter." "I'm unarmed." "You can turn me in." "I'm helpless and you're free." "What will you do?" "What about you?" "Oh, I've got plenty to do." "Like what?" "I've got to hurry and change for the funeral." "And after that?" "Back to the same old grind." "I'll look for work... and try to get along." "I'll stop playing with fire." "I dragged Samson into a game that cost him his life." "From now on..." "I'll be a good girl." "I won't ask the impossible." "What about you?" "You're not staying here?" "I need time to find a safe place... or turn myself in." "To make up my mind." "Good luck!" "Wait." "I want to ask you..." "What?" "To pretend we're in love... just for a minute." "After that, we'll go our separate ways." "Okay but let's hurry." "Tell me a lie..." "That you've been waiting for me for years..." "Say it!" "I've been waiting for you." "Without me, you'd have died." "Without you, I'd have died." "You never stopped loving me." "I never stopped loving him -- loving you." "You're crazy!" "Hide!" "If you turned me into... someone else -- you'd love me?" "You know that's impossible." "Go and hide!" "That girl really intrigues me." "Has he gone?" "When that final trumpet sounds... the dead shall be raised incorruptible... and we shall all be changed." "So shall the Word be done." "You believe in resurrection?" "Why d'you ask?" "I was just thinking." "Death is swallowed up in victory." "Do you have special products..." "like peroxide?" "I'd like to dye my hair." "Scared I'd be gone?" "Here, give me a hand." "What are you going to do?" "You'll see." "Are they his clothes?" "Samson's?" "How else can we love each other?" "Ready?" "Have you changed too?" "Two tickets." "1st or 2nd class?" "First... no, second..." "First!" "When does the boat sail?" "At 10 P.M." "Are you paying by check or cash?" "Cash." "She took the money from her bag... a big wad." "Take it easy." "She bought two tickets." "Then she went home." "That looks lovely!" "I wonder who the second ticket is for." "Get hold of some men." "We may have a little action at the pier tonight." "The first reports give us 51%." "Their man's got 49." "It's a tight race!" "What are you laughing about?" "If our man loses, we're wiped out." "Let's put politics aside for a while." "And focus on some animals... that we call wild." "I shouldn't have laughed." " I owe you evertyhing." " Forget it." "Just keep up the good work." "You have nothing to fear from me." "I create employment for all of you." "That's all." "You'll see I'm not afraid." "Not even of me?" "Never of you." "That's good." "Hurry up, I'm waiting for you." "The film is ready." "Want to look this over?" "I've only got an hour... to screen my latest testament so I can revise it." "Put those lights out." "You're to sit in each man's seat." "And give me your comments on the film." "Aren't you ready?" "Watch closely, Antoinette." "At last, I've adapted my will to our audiovisual era." "Employees, friends and colleagues..." "I've been dead for three months." "I'm not reappearing here to speak of the beyond... but to safeguard our mutual interests." "You must carry on my life's work." "Take Philip's seat." "I trust you're all in your assigned seats." "Or you'll be fired on the spot." "I'll speak to each one here." "Philip, each death is different." "Some are banal, others pay off." "Antoinette, take your own seat!" "If our circulation doesn't drop... give him a 10% raise." "If it increases, his salary will be rated... on the number of new readers." "Now go over to Tom's seat." "Tom, never put two nudes in one edition." "We're not competing with the erotic market!" "That's enough." "I don't want anyone to see the last part." "I'm going." "I can drive you to the boat." "If our journalistic ideals call... for us to expose life's sordid aspects... we must also help our readers to accept fate." "Remember that the only fascinating subject... is love." "I might as well walk." "Wait!" "Don't say it!" "I'll take care of the paper." "I'm sure of it." "All the election results." "Get your daily!" "Read all about it!" "New victim in gang war!" "Get your evening paper!" "There are cops all over." "They'll spot us." "Come on." "We'll never make it." "He's with a girl dressed in yellow." "The dress, the coat, the scarf..." "Yellow from head to toe." "What's she up to?" "Forget her." "We want him." "So you're celebrating our victory." "Have a drink." "I'm in a hurry, I'm taking the boat." "It's difficult to get through this crowd." "Don't be afraid." "Give me my ticket and passport." "Wait for me on the boat." "This is a surprise." "Are you sailing?" "I can't make it." "I'll help you." "The rain ruined the celebration... and my business as well." "Did you get your van?" "No, I can't pay the fine." "What about Charlotte?" "No, that's a dessert." "And Juliette?" "Too romantic." "We can't leave the child nameless." "We'll see." "I hope she finds true love." "And Laure?" "Did she go with Samson?" "Yes." "Subtitling by TVS" " TlTRA film"
