""But this night..."" "Come." ""The tales of Malemort"" ""The carnival"." "Come closer." ""There is the village of Malemort, clung at his peak like an hideous spider."" "I already told you not to come in with your axe!" "I don't do any harm." "Leave that!" "Don't you eat?" "After." "What about the fire?" "Matches!" "Matches!" "Here." "What a little slut." "Little slut!" "Yes..." "Yes..." "Little slut." "Close the door." "You took a long time." ""And this other one, pushed by the wind." "Before him, the vast of the horizon." "The wind was blowing on Malemort." "The storm was rumbling and getting closer, relentless."" "You'd rather go close that shutter, it's bugging me!" "Nothing ever bugs me." " Damn it, go close that shutter!" " I'll go with you, Anne." " Go serve." " No, I go close the shutter." "Take this and go serve!" "You really don't know what you want!" ""Go serve, close the shutter..."" "Thanks, girly!" " And you, Mademoiselle?" " No, thanks." "You should, Mademoiselle." "Something hot would be good for you." "Shut up." " Thank you." " It hurts." " This bread is a necessary food." " Like a claw." "That's the storm." " Maybe not." "Ideas also." "What's coming next?" "A... nice rooster." "He's spitted all his blood this afternoon." "I had to change my skirt." "Tonight the henhouse is in mourning." "Shut up, will you?" "Sorry, Mademoiselle." "All those noises are getting on my nerves." "The silence do that to me." "When you don't know what's coming." "And you can only guess." "It's maybe Antoine." " It's nothing." "You'll give the rump to Monsieur Derose." " The dirty old man needs it." " Dirty or not, he's a man." "A rich man." "Do you know what is it to be rich?" " Maybe not but that's because of that I'm beaten up." " You just wait for your turn." "Go away." "Here you go my good Monsieur!" "And you, Mademoiselle?" "The Lord's leg?" "No..." "No!" "Leave the dish here, I'll think about it." "I'm hungry!" "And cold." "Go wash yourself, you're a pig." "I cut through the cemetery to get here faster." "And you're right:" "it's a lousy weather." "What a nightmare." "And me, Antoine, do I have a nightmare's face?" "Cut it." "Bring them the compote." "And you, for the last time, go fix that shutter." " Are you going nut?" " No." "I just do as usual." "Anyway, if I break the door, they're rich enough to have it fixed." "And the bruises you gave me, you big idiot... can they be fixed with money?" "Let me rub them." "Father is in the salon." "Alone." " And you, Mademoiselle?" " I'll go back to my room." "Father is alone!" "Ida!" " Bring him, I think there's enough sugar." " He's not calling for sugar." "I'd give him arsenic instead!" "Arsenic!" "It's funny..." "Every time I think arsenic..." "I think of you, Clémence!" ""I signed again in the Colonial Army, for you, Lizon, for your kisses."" "That tickles you, isn't it girly!" "The little beast is clumbing, clumbing, clumbing..." "Your skin is smooth and warm..." "Come in." "It's your tisane." "No Antoine, it's you!" "You took your time!" " I had to finish my dinner." "Imbecile." "Come closer." "Come closer, imbecile." "Sit down!" "It smells good in here." "I've got a surprise for you." "From my father's wine cellar." ""I signed again in the Colonial Army, for you, Lizon... for your kisses." "I signed this dreadful pact... who's gonna make a damned soul out of me."" ""And after the storm, strangely, a perfect day rose on Malemort."" "Hello, Antoine." "You know, I've been thinking." "You're not handsome, Antoine." "You're not handsome, but you're strong." "You're very strong and a bit dumb." "Or else..." "You're not that strong." "I'm strong... and not that dumb." "You're dumb." "Ida, my dove!" "Come!" "Come on!" "I have a gift for you!" "Come on, my dove, hurry up!" " Do you think Derose has money?" " I don't give a damn!" "Come and get me." "Here." "Over there, come." "Stop it!" "Aren't you afraid to catch a cold?" "I'm no longer afraid since you're here." "Put down your tray!" "Come." "Come here." "Come here, I said!" "I'm not a dog." "Yes, you're a dog, Antoine." "No!" "Kneel down." "Kneel down!" " No!" "Crawl!" "Come." "You dog." "Do the dog." "Come on." "Come closer, Antoine." "Do the dog." "Come on, do the dog." "Lick it." "That's good." " One day, my beauty, I'll cover you with..." " With rose petals, light as ashes." "You already told me that, dirty old man!" "Maxime." " Did he speak?" " I'm thirsty." " Hey, little bitch, did he speak?" " Yes." " What did he say?" " He said like you: "Little bitch"." " But the gold, the treasure?" " He doesn't care when he touches me." "Precisely, take advantage of that." "That's the dirty old man who takes advantage!" "He promised me things:" "lace panties, multicolour stockings, suspenders..." "Stuff like this." " That's a good start." "Keep on trying." " I'm trying every night." "Where is Antoine?" "Upstairs." " I'll go and meet him." " You maybe won't be welcome." "He's in bed with that beast again!" "They're all ready to burst." "Like chestnuts under cinder." "And tomorrow, that party..." "Wait, I'm losing the page." "Well..." ""And tomorrow, there's that party."" "Is there something to eat left?" "I'm hungry too." "A banquet?" "All those men and children." "There's nothing in here." "Can we start?" "We can start!" "Can we start?" "Can we start?" " I'm waiting for my daughter." "The medal." "You're handsome, Antoine." "You're good looking too." "Arsenic." " The more they're rich, the less we eat." " That's why they're rich." "In this far away country where our friend was ruling, everything was allowed." "And he's allowed himself everything." "Silence!" "Be quiet please!" "I know..." "He had a son, without a mother." "I heard about it by..." " That's true he has a daughter!" " And proud!" " And skinny!" " And ugly!" " Let's get back to it, this son..." " Where is he?" "Far away!" "He lives like a wolf!" "Later, girls." "Hello, lady." " Good evening, captain." " Why captain?" "Because you carry a sabre." "And all the men with a sabre I knew were captains." "At least they were claiming so." " Okay for captain." "You, get back to work." "Your village is empty." "Is that the plague?" "No..." "Curiosity." " That's the same thing." " They all go." "Like larks." "To the house." "Up there." "The big one." "There's a feast..." "As they say." " And you?" "Me, I move only... if I'm carried." " Who are those people?" " The old one..." "It's said he's rich and deaf." "Deaf he is." "Rich?" "..." "It's maybe also true for the treasure." "Do you have beds?" " Yes." " Keep the best room for me." " It's easy, captain." "I have only one." " By the way, lady, where am I?" "In Malemort." "Here, we all are in Malemort." "The medal..." "Here it is." "Thanks my boy." "He's lovely." "My precious friend..." "Tell that to a money pincher!" "My dear Derose..." "I have the intense emotion to pin you up with this honorary... medal." "The crown." "Slowly." "Slowly." "Like this." "Good evening Monsieur Derose." "Mademoiselle." "What a beautiful country you live in." "And what a lovely evening." "Please allow me to take advantage of this moment to call you Maxime." " Come for dinner tonight, Lieutenant." " Gladly, Monsieur Derose." "The sweet." "Do you come to bed?" "Come." ""Evenings and dinners followed one another."" "Where is Ida?" " She has to make my bed." " You mean "unmake your bed"." "Yes, often!" "Very well!" "Good girl." "Generous and brave." "Here." "Take it and shut up." "It's a beauty, huh?" "Girls burn everything, just like fire." "Come on, Antoine." "I've got the gold!" "Open." "Open!" ""I'm the one who lift the roofs to have a peak into the confusion of the homes."" "Kiss me." "Kiss me or I scream." ""But you..." "Who are you?"" "A woman." "A rich one?" "Who knows?" "Come!" ""Those mad dresses are the emblem of your colourful spirit." "Mad at the point to make me mad." "I hate you as much as I love you." "Sometimes, in a beautiful garden I was dragging my lifelessness along" "I felt like an irony, the sun was tearing my breast apart." "And the spring and the greenery have humiliated my heart so much that I punished a flower for the nature's insolence." "One night, I'd like, when the voluptuousness time comes, towards the treasure parts of you, cowardly crawl in silence."" ""To punish your joyful flesh, to hurt your forgiven breast and do on your surprised flank a large and hollow wound." "Vertiginous sweetness through these new lips, brighter and more beautiful" "...my sister."" "Where is that gold flowing, that turns this country mad?" "And that ghosts are distributing leagues away." "I will find that treasure." "Someone in Malemort must know about it." "I must go, now." "You'll come back, right?" "If you don't, my body won't keep a secret for anyone." "I'll be back... with the treasure." "You'll take me with you?" "Far away." "Why not?" "By nightfall, if you hear the scream of a night bird, get ready." "A coach will come to pick you up." "The scream of a bird?" "Do you know that?" "This long scream worn out by the travel into darkness." "Ask in the village." "The fountain" "of oblivion." "Lieutenant!" "You went to see my daughter!" " Lecherous old-timer!" " How kind of you!" "Wise old man." "Come back tomorrow!" "Man..." "Do you know the fountain of oblivion?" ""He tried to find the fountain of oblivion all day." "As the blacksmith, no one answered." "Women, children, seemed terrorised and were running away when the stranger approached them." "At the fall of the day..."" " Did you find a treasure?" " Maybe." "What a beauty!" " How handsome!" " Don't touch it, lady!" "Drinks for all." "And a hot bath in my room." "Got it?" "A hot bath!" "Right away." "Here's your tisane." " Not tonight." " Yes, tonight." "Yes, tonight." "Not tonight!" "Every night if I want to." "Go away!" "Go away!" "Where do you come from?" "Where do you come from?" "Take me with you." "Take me far away." "I don't care about the money." "I don't want it." "I want Maxime." "What are you doing here?" "Where are you, girly?" " Put him to bed." " No." "Not tonight, that's enough!" ""..." "life goes by the fountain of oblivion."" " What did you say?" " Nothing." "I was singing." " What did you say?" "Sing again!" ""Where the gold is dancing, on the peak of Malemort."" "Carry on!" ""Life goes by the fountain of oblivion."" "Who taught you that?" "Who?" "I'm ashamed." "It's the... the dirty man." "Which one?" "The rich one with the violin." "Once..." "I was carrying apples and..." "I can't say it..." "Carry on." "I still have the feeling of his hands all over me." "Like caterpillars." "He hurt me." "The fountain of oblivion." "I heard that name when I was a kid." "Where was it?" "Once... the dirty man tried with a gold coin." "I spit on him." "Where is the fountain?" "It doesn't exist." "It's only in the song." ""Where the gold is dancing, on the peak of Malemort." "Life goes by the fountain of oblivion."" "You're handsome." "It's funny... like the skin of a real man" "simple straight as a tree" "and soft soft and warm." "Poor Antoine." " I'm not poor." "I'm rich." "Faster!" "I'll pay you if I have to." "With what?" "Make them die in their shit hole!" "Let the vermin enters in their shit hole!" " She's gone mad!" "Let me cuddle you my sweet pigeon!" "Leave me alone!" "This one..." "This one is Clémence!" "This one... it's you, old pig!" "An you... you're beautiful, proud, straight..." "Lieutenant!" "And after..." "I take her in my arms into my forest." "She's my gold." "For me." "Look what Clémence did to me." "I don't give a shit!" "Why are you all hitting like this?" "Take me away!" " Didn't you understand yet!" "?" "Understood what?" "That I touched the gold." "I need to have it." "And Maxime too." "You're crazy!" "Crazy!" "Open, Maxime!" "They're crazy." "Like chestnuts about to burst." "Open, it's me!" "Where is your lieutenant?" "I'll kill this bloody thief!" "I only took what belongs to him." "Totally belongs to him." "Tell me where he is." "Here." "Everywhere." "Like a St-John's fire." "Bloody thief!" "Thief!" "Where are you going beautiful child?" "I'm going far away from the city!" "Calm down." "Do you know the fountain of oblivion?" "That's where the old man took me the first time." "To fright me on the first place." "Then give me comfort." " And with me..." "Would you be afraid?" "No." "Thief!" "Thief!" ""Antoine, beside himself, yelled 'thief" again and the fight began." "Between the two men, nothing was left but a murder instinct." "Ida, petrified, screamed..."" ""And then, the quietness came back on Malemort."" "Where is that gold flowing, that drives this country into madness?" "And that ghosts are distributing leagues away." ""In this village of a different age, a carnival was about to begin." "Pushed by the gold and the wind, a dashing horse rider came to lose himself in Malemort.""
