" You don't know my size." " I measured like this." "It's gorgeous!" "Wanna help me?" "They got any old thing." "It looks good on me." "Excuse the delay." "They had to go to town." "You wanted them alive, the market's closed today." "You did want big ones?" "She's a big girl." "Not too big." "Too big?" "Big enough?" "Hope that'll do it." "What's that?" "!" " For your breasts." " Crabs?" "I lost the word." "Brassière?" "I forgot the "-ssière."" "They need water." "The bathtub, maybe?" "No, the sea's better, while I'm away." " You're going?" " Got a lunch." " Lunchbox?" " Restaurant." " Soup kitchen?" " No, a fancy place." "You shouldn't go!" "What's wrong?" "It's going down the toilet!" "What?" "Words." "Don't ruin them!" "But I have a meeting..." "In that pathetic casino, why do you show them your ass, and crack?" "I..." "The faucet's on, the water's running..." "No, turned off it is." "Leave together." "Bad, bad, bad for you." "It's my last show in France." "Will you be back?" "Yes, I know I will." "Do you still want me?" "You talk in rhymes." "Did they tell you?" "Because I pity that little person, I do." "We need a computer that can hurt others." "What compassion!" "I walked barefoot all over France, in the war." "Which one, honey?" "Wow, you're stunning!" "I love it, don't you?"

"Incorrigible." "Always right." "Really moody." "I manage 400 people." "Guy knows." "Haley..." "like the comet." " I am really..." " What?" " Sick of it." " Want me to take care of it?" "Call me Blanche Haley, Haley Blanche," "I want to see Mom, alright?" "What the hell are you doing?" "It's good to stand up to her." "I need you." " Oh, it's you!" " Who else?" "Waiting for another one?" "See you later." "Why stop?" "Give it your all." "Just like when I was small." "He drank." "He couldn't." "He was unable, you were unstable." "Instead of your vulgar ways, he needed calm tenderness in his days." "You're rhyming, dear." "At age one I saw you, the tears, the escapes, screaming with a lover above you." "I also imagined that love would be suffering." "I hoped it would change, but I can't understand, it's still too strange!" "These people are taking over our lives!" "We're making a fortune." "We'll work something out, so I won't suffer." "You said you were unconscious?" "To make you happy, to save your conscience." "Was that his maid?" "I called her." "It's risky taking a lover." "It's my first time." "Had enough?" "Got any more of that stuff?" "Screw 'em... and get the hell out!" "Compassion, compassion, come on, passion!" "Pass it on, play along, Baroness."

"I am never wrong." "That's right, you got it!" "Even in Moscow, they'll need psychics." "I've got to go." "But not for long." "Blanche not here?" "No." " Then I'll go to her." " Really?" "Add grease to the fire." "Lots of grease, please." "Your kitchen!" ""Baucet?"" "Nitty gritty... pretty!" "I know." "House, pond, noise..." "I love you!" "We ate like sad boys." "Fighter!" "The spider... is sad." "Time, I know." "Don't go." "I need better hands, give me some." "No." "Come." " You must." " Move not." " Love." " Cold in here." " Stay near." " Like me best, how I'm dressed?" " Your jewels, your gown?" " Don't let me down." "Is one woman too much?" "Ecstasy again?" "Talk." "Come..." "Oh, come." "Suffer, then." "I'm coming!" "When I go, don't forget the love of Blanche, it'll stay with you long after tonight." "With or without her, empty space without words." "One last vision she'll have for you."

"This extraordinary woman needs no introduction." "The divine Blanche Haley!" "Bravo!" "You're back, Mr. Le Comte..." "you're not going to..." "Love is a pond that can drown you." "You think so?" "The porter told me about your credits as a scientist." "It'd be wise to keep quiet." "Mark my words." "And her guru, François." "That makes it even tougher." "Watch my finger, Blanche." "Words... and body." "This gentleman!" "This little man, I can't really use him, he always needs something new to amuse him." "Paying for love, a slave to perversion, he gets off in his armchair and thinks he knows passion." "He smells, likes porno, has no wife," "I should give him my skin, as a balm for his sorry excuse for a life." "This man has the power to kill the artist." "The artist must bow down, not go too far." "This man can do everything, wreak havoc." "The enlightening child must be corrupted, the pathetic spirit must run wild." "We must flatter fate, raise praise as directed, not hate."

" It is." "Just in case, she's got one big condom." "Looking for love with a black stallion." "You, Lucas, me, Blanche." "Want to see me dance?" "Will I finish school?" "With top honors, you'll be the best." "You'll get married but she won't pass the test." "Now that I've loved, I don't have the ears for your little secrets or deepest fears." "You have no power over me." "I may one day miss the gift of my talent, the glory of expressing myself to you." "Glory, in the sea's luster, appears lackluster." "And all that's left... is charm." "The charm of a short life." "Blanche, what's wrong?" "You'll die alone in a retirement home, dirty, poor, forgotten." "A triumph!" "Call the press!" "I'm never wrong!" "My life's a waste." "No matter what you think." "Even if I know now... that I take and give of my soul, out of pity for that small person." "That person in so much pain." "The person who makes me whole!" "Why don't you lose your mind now, Lucas?" "Why wait?" "Ladies and gentlemen, her powers rain on us like showers!" "Power play, tower of power, flower!" "We are crushing this flower!"

"You want to see your grandparents less." "Your first love will last all your life." "Because that's the way... of happiness without strife." "I forgot, your Granddad has a surprise:" "A doll outfit." "Today is your name day." "It's at home on your pillow." "What a recovery, she saved the show!" "Nantes was almost a no-go." "I'm never wrong." "Bunch of vultures!" "The lining, right." "Smoother now." "Time to tango, mamba!" "Incredible!" "Wait 'till she hits the gay clubs." "Then François can strip, right?" "Alter this!" "Photographers coming!" "I want to find Lucas." "Don't forget, your contract!" "Was that true?" "I don't know." "If so, I'll do it!" "Go ahead." "The guy is crazy!" "I'm a star." " Will you stop?" " The truth hurts." "Now get the hell out, you filthy bastards!" "All this will soon be superfluous." "Lucky for you, lesbian." "That's right, I'm lucky." "You were always clean, pretty." "You had everything." "Not now!" "You said I'd be happy with you here." "Only love yourself." "No danger in that." "To love yourself, you need a mirror." "An insurmountable, obscene same-sex image." "What do I do onstage?" "Beautiful things, great things, definitive things." "I've got to go, Inès." "Lucas hurts me so, it stings." "Can I come with you?" "Not tonight."

"Ok, there!" "Talk, please..." " One last time!" " That hurts!" "Help me, please." "You shouldn't do that!" "You shouldn't hurt the little person!" "When it's all over, you'll die." "Men die by the sword, you'll die by your brain." "But you'll die happy." "Kind, stupid, you'll end your pain." "Cold intelligence makes a person seem wild, but the only true justice is that of a child." "I hate you now." "Pain!" "Help me." "Love me." "Love." "Didn't know." "Know... we can't." "Use the verb "to smurf,"" "it's easier." "I'll smurf the lights, you smurf the lady in your arms." "I'll smurf her onto your back." "Love... or misery." "We must learn to share." "At our age!" "Rabbit!" "Thank you... but they're all anxious, waiting." "That way, Mr. Le Comte." "No charge to your account." "If I may say so." "The lady is drunk... with success, right?" "She's sleeping." "Aren't we all?" "Don't let me go." "The motorcycle is waiting outside." "Don't worry about the bill." "Your Highness the Baroness..." "He'll thank his cousin later." "You even have a voucher." " Here." " It's all yours." "For buying the gum." "Are you making fun?" "He who chews... cannot laugh." "Come on, sir!" "Gas, clutch, gears... it's child's' play!" "No, I can't smurf." "Smurf the metal from my cotton." "You can pipe it." "Just like I always wanted." "Good-fly, guy." "My diversion will save the artists from detection!" "My love... shall we so?" "Like the current flowing into the river, like Blanche, awakening, in love with her lover." "By accident, not knowing where or when, they'll complete the circle as children again." "I kept this for you."
