"I'm picking up the little things your poor mother borrowed me a long time ago" "In case you feel like selling everything" "You're not gonna call me a thief, are you ?" "No, but go away" "Really..." "It's not very nice to leave your parents before they're taken away" "If I stay here, what will you do with the stationary store ?" "We'll sell it" "Having nobody to take care of it but a female manager" "And me being so far away without a car the notary thinks so now whether we'll sell it or not..." "It's another story" "But..."

"Nothing my young, only that I remembered at the bakery that there still was this fish-cooker your poor mom borrowed me, oh, a long time ago, before the war" "Of course, I didn't missed it much for what I cook" "But still, what is lent is is not given" "Thérèse..." "What a surprise." "You didn't lent my mother anything, Mrs. Gobert oh, that's news to me" "You won't touch anything here !" "Denise, has Mrs. Gobert been here before ?" "Yes, everything she took is there... in her bag" "You have to put everything back in its place, quickly !" " What do you think you're doing ?" " I said "quickly", Mrs. Gobert !" "If you want to keep it our business" "Ok then." "For a nun like you, you hold on to the goods of this world !" "To the goods of Denise, yes." "Denise, go get the money on Antibes street" "For a few cents of hardware..."

"Sure, you know, by being sagely and having discipline..." "Finding a job is not a problem." " Oh, you, sagely ?" " Hahaha" "It's an idea that got into me, just like that in seeing you so gentle, so cute..." " Even from behind ?" " Even from your back, you have nice legs" "I can't blame my legs for anything" "Oh my god, time is passing by !" "Goodbye Mister." " My name is Max, and you ?" " Denise." "Denise..." "Shall we meet again ?" "To think..." " Give me my hand back !" " See you on Sunday" " We'll go away, at high speed" " Impossible !" "How about dancing ?" "Don't you want to dance ?" " I can't dance..." " With me, you'll learn quickly no, really, no." "Goodbye." " Or else..." " Or else ?" ""Voise" stationary, Antibes street" "If you ever need postcards... before 6 pm, except on mondays" "This is for me." "Goodbye. "Voise", Antibes street." "See you soon" "How about you give this child a nice pen ?" "A pen ?" "He would eat it and drink the ink." "He wouldn't eat the compasses, at least" "How would you know ?" "Hello Sir, I'll be with you in a moment." "How about a beautiful inkpot made of marble and bronze ?" "Listen Thérèse, we need to think about this a little more." "We may risk to ask him what he would like to have." " Ladies, please." " Thank you, very kind." "If you can't find what you're looking for, I have more in stock." "Thanks." "I'm looking for a nice postcard for my parents." "To prove them that I'm thinking about them." "The day after tomorrow is their silver wedding anniversary" "I see, maybe I have what you need." " Come and check inside that box." " Thank you." "One with bells or a bouquet without lettering would be best" "With bells, there's always "Happy Easter"" "One only needs luck, and I have some." " Ms. Denise is not here" " No..." "You're the young man who talked to her on the street ?" "Polite as I have been, it's not a crime, is it ?" "I didn't say it was a crime" "I know you've been polite." "Denise is in the country... ..in our family...she is coming home tonight." "Very good." "Well, if she talked to you about me, she didn't mentioned you" " She did well not to." " Sure..." " Were you a nun ?" " No." "I didn't take my vows." "Aaah, obviously this is the all-important thing..." "I don't want to flatter you, but... you would have been a very beautiful nun." "They all have their own beauty." "Here, Madam." "This is my seat ? I don't know Madam, you can read your ticket, can't you ?" "What did he say when he left ?" "That he would come back ?" "I was the last one to talk." " I don't think he will be back." " You dismissed him ?" "He's a comedian..." "He has nothing to do here... nor do you with him." "I ask you to trust me." "Allright, Thérèse." "So...sleep quickly... sleep well." "You've been a little harsh, I didn't want her to be on a front-row seat" "You're not gonna do it again are you ?" "You came to moan, I have the right to say something." "She wanted you, and you blew it, old pal !" " I'm for clarifications !" " Well you have one..." "You'll never be her driver !" "There are other women." "Nevertheless, you're here looking at her window" "Of course I'm here, except you didn't see me." "I didn't see you ?" "Why ?" "You'll know that tomorrow morning." "Now get lost !" "Just don't stay alone for 2 or 3 hours" "For you to be able to prove where you were." " Max, you're not gonna do this" " Oh, shut up !" "There's better stuff than her in her room" "She left me, so I'm entitled to have a souvenir" "Don't worry if there's only me to wake her up she won't have breakfast sooner than usual" "What's on your shoes ?" "Some crape I hope..." "Exactly !" "When I get sabots." "I hope you 're thinking about them..." "Get lost." " Don't disturb those who are working." "I like that better." "I like you." "I'll bring you oranges in prison" "Leave or I will call !" "No kidding." "So what do you need to make up your mind ?" "Ready, Ventura ?" "What, one runs over the people ?" "The kings ?" "Always." "You're fine, you're getting spoiled..." "One lives well." "Do you think about me sometimes ?" "I dream about you." "Here she is." " At Negresco's, please." " Fine, Madam." "Allright, time to pee now, let's go!" " May I, now ?" " Yes." " Aren't you going to the garage ?" " They fired me this morning." "It's a bit of your fault..." "Ha..." "No, it's true" "Seeing by what time I was arriving..." "No regrets." "You can take better care of your hands." "Say... is your tailor gonna keep you for long ?" "I don't think so. 2 hours, 2 hours and a half, maybe 3." "Goodbye." "Hey" "What the fuck are you doing here ?" " I was bringing this to Mr. Trivet..." " Give it to me...get lost !" " Another gift for "Mister"." "What is it ?" "I don't know" "A little respect, huh ?" "So, the bills for Drache's grocery..." "Dr. Mouliez's prescriptions pad" "Mrs Faugeret's sheets... and Commander Roubier's business cards." "Make sure you get this done before your appointment at the dentist" "Ok." "And go at Mrs. Derain to ask after her." "Without fail ?" " I promise." " Good." "Oh, go see the cobbler to get your shoes" "Oh, I can swear this." " See you later" " See you later." "Come in !" "How about that !" "Come in, Miss." "What are you doing here ? Fiddling..." "I became Mrs. Faugeret's driver so she gives me stuff to repair" "A suitcase hinge, a radio..." " Is she out ?" " For 2 minutes..." "But come in, otherwise I'll think you're not happy to see me" "But yes, especially like this, without doing it on purpose" "Oh, I see" "Because you wouldn't, on purpose ?" "Oh, Mr. Max" "I meant "by chance"." "Look, here's the evidence that I'm not lying" "Yes, I believe you." " Did she had lunch with you ?" " Who do you think I am ?" "You don't want to stand up please come in" "No." "I'm gonna sit where it is the most beautiful." "Near the patio." "Fine." "Are you sure she's coming back ?" "I'm in a hurry" "Sure." "What a beautiful view she has." "She has everything." "You musn't stay here." "Why ?" "Come here if you feel bored." "I'm not bored." "With what the suns shows through your dress, it would be picky of me." " One shouldn't run, one could fall" " Let go of me" " Just for a kiss" " No" "Be kind, what you're doing is wrong I've done worse" " You're gonna make me cry" " Who knows ?" " Mrs Faugeret, I can hear her" " I doubt it." "There's a God for lovers, you didn't know that ?" "Savage !" "When you read this letter..." "It's 65 FR for a return ticket" "One-way only." "Departure is in 20 minutes." "Hey, your change." "She missed her appointment ?" "No, Doctor, she remembered it very well." "Thank you." "Oh no, she promised me to go see you." "...Maybe." "Yes." "Certainly not, she was so excited to get them" "It was closed ?" "Listen, if she comes, tell her to call me, first thing she does." " Do you like my new suit ?" " Yes, it makes you younger" " Did you miss me this afternoon ?" " Guess." " What did you do ?" " I killed time." "I was happy at the hairdresser, knowing you were up there." "I was happy to be there." "Above all, don't worry, we got her in time" "She will sleep for 12 hours" "Once she received treatment, we gave her strong doses of sleeping pills" "Change her hot-water bottle every two hours." "A doctor form the hospital will come by tomorrow morning" "I can call a nurse until then." "It's unnecessary." "Oh, just one recommendation, but a major one" "When she wakes up, don't criticize her and ask no qestions" "Not to look like you take her move seriously." "And obviously, no coffee no tea until the doctor arrives" "You claim she is out of danger" "Until tomorrow, yes." "It would be a lie if I promised you more." "If it goes well tomorrow, there will be no danger of stroke." "Well, you don't need me anymore" "Goodbye" "Stay with her, I'll find my way out." "Thank you." "When you read this letter, please forgive your little sister" "I'd rather die than having to lie to you about the horrible thing that just happened to me, regardless of my will, I swear." "For you to never know, I say goodbye" "Give to Jacqueline Roger my dresses and my mass book" "To Nicole Coudrai the little vase you gave me for my birthday" " It's none too soon" " In a hurry, sweetheart ?" "Carlo...a scotch, and I want to see the bottle" " So, is your house on fire ?" " You can say "our house"." "All for the better, I'm insured." "Cigarette ?" "The American ones on the right The Egyptian ones on the left" "Not bad, this knick-knack." "Between you and me, as long as there not gonna be golden matches" "So, scare me." "She asked for the bill she's leaving tomorrow" " Is it gonna be allright for my lord ?" " Leave the bottle on the table and go play in the garden" " At your command, your Highness" "She's leaving tomorrow, that's it ?" "Me too I'm leaving tomorrow ?" "With her ?" "I drive so well." "What about me in all of this ?" "I don't understand." "Lucky me I'm old enough to explain myself." "It's me that put you where you're at" "And you don't think I did that for my own health, do you ?" "What about friendship, then ?" "Friendship was what we agreed on" "We would go away with her jewels and blackmail her" "We would open a nightclub in Tangiers" "My brother, can you remember ?" "I thought about it and that's not a good thing to do I'm teasing you, sweetheart but it's a short-sighted scheme." "From Brussels where she will be and me inside the house," "I swear we can do better than that, my word on it." "As soon as it gets better, I let you know and you turn up quickly" "There needs to be both of us I promise you." "I like you, you know that." "Ok..." "But I'm forced to ask you the money for the trip right now" "You should have said that before" "Here" "Twenty notes." "I'm like this." "Thanks, this pays the restaurant car" "Because for the sleeping car, 300 notes are needed" "And before you leave, so it's sunny when you arrive in Brussels." "Is it your last word ?" "No, it's my last day." "I'm taking my friends out tonight and I want to try the nice car before you take it away." "Leave it at the garage, with the keys on." "For once, you will walk the cutie." "or you can have dinner in bed." "And how about your driving licence ?" "I'll drive by the cliff road." "Nobody there at night." "It's important to me, Max." "I see." "By observing you, I've become a real little man." "How fast can your car go ?" "150, 160..." "I'm sending invitations so don't stand me up." "The keys and the papers." "After all, if that's your idea of a good night... Also think about tomorrow, about my idea of a good morning." "Ok." "See you soon, sweetheart." " Tell me, honey..." " Yes ?" "If we are to come to pick up the trunks, early tomorrow morning we might as well not be dining at the Devil's." "You have an idea ?" "A farewell fish soup at Toutoune's near the harbour, then a movie." "with 1200 km on the menu tomorrow, I'm not in the mood to drive tonight." "As you wish, my love." "I am sorry, Madam but it's not available yet." "It's a bad time." "Everybody books their table at Toutoune's like everywhere else" "Nevermind, I'm leaving." "but keep calling him until you get him" " Ask for Mak...erm..." "Mr. Trivet" " Fine, Madam." "and you will tell him that I... found a letter that I have give to a notary from Nice." "and tell Mr.Trivet that he starts the meal without me and that it should take me 2 hours, if I drive fast." " Thank you" " Fine, Madam." "So then...you've never seen that, huh ?" "SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT between Cannes and Nice" "Are you certain there is nothing more to say ?" "No, your Honor, no." "For three weeks, you were her..." "Mrs. Faugeret's driver." "You're a good mechanic and even a very good one, according to your previous boss." "You were leaving tomorrow for a long drive yep... and you are asking me to believe that 3 bolts out of 4 inside the steering joint were unbolted ready to fail after a few kilometers without your knowledge ?" "A hotel garage without any surveillance for most of the time" "Anybody can go in and out." "and three drivers saw me working on the car, from 6 to 7pm." "and at this moment, the bolts were screwed to the max" "So you say the accident that caused Mrs. Faugeret's wounds happened because of someone's malice ?" "Yes, your Honor but not because of mine because..." "I don't know if you realize this and regardless of the gratitude and the good feelings I had towards Mrs. Faugeret and the job I'm losing but logically I should have been in that car" "I'm aware of this, that's why you're not being charged" "Fortunately." "Do you know if Mrs. Faugeret had any enemies ?" "She didn't share her secrets." "Bygones." "Do you have enemies ?" "Me ?" "No." "The true ones are those we're not aware of." "You are not without knowing that all of Mrs. Faugeret jewels and a huge ammount of money in her bag were stolen approximately one hour after the accident" "I know it because you just told me." "but I have an alibi for every minute from the moment Mrs. Faugeret left the hotel while she was talking to the porter without complaining about anything until the moment of your summoning" "Calm down, son, you're not being charged with theft either" "Actually, one of the hotel's bellboy, named Robiquet has disappeared since the night of the accident." "We're looking for him actively" "Do you have, personally, a reason to suspect him of this theft ?" "None, your Honor." "He didn't share secrets with you either ?" "Enough for me to answer for him, morally speaking." "He didn't think his job was something serious" "He often told me one day he would discreetly get away" "Did he told you where he discreetly would go ?" "No, but I regret because, admit it, it's not nice to leave a friend when he's in trouble," "Maybe he doesn't read the newspaper." "Ok my friend, sign your statement." "Thank you."

"Don't talk to me about love, you've never loved anyone" "There is a beginning to everything" "Isn't it ?" "The only thing I know is that I won't go home without bringing back what you took who's asking you to ?" "and you didn't even bring something decisive to make me obey like the first time on the public square bench." "An oversight !" " I thought about it" " And then ?"
