"A film made in 5 countries" "LOVE AT TWENTY" "Antoine Doinel is 17 years old." "He belongs to that group of adolescents who never had a real childhood" "He escaped from a juvenile rehabilitation work camp but was then entrusted to a newer and more secure centre." "A psychiatrist was able to get him probation." "Antoine lives a solitary and independent life." "He has a passion for music and works in a recording industry plant." "He has achieved his dream and depends only on himself." "Antoine frequents a club of of young musicians from France and participates in all the meetings." "He often gets free concert tickets." "His only friend is a companion from his early days, Rene who works on the Stock Exchange at an agent of change." " How's it going?" " I'll soon be qualified." "I'm changing to production." "Are you coming to hear Shapiro?" "Remember when you were hiding out in my house and my father came in" "The old man!" "Help me shake the cover and get rid of this smoke!" "That's enough." "It reeks of tobacco in here, just like some gambling den." "I'll buy three cigars with your pocket money." "What's this?" "Bucephalus is not a clothes-horse." "That thing is worth almost a million." "It's a work of art." "And I wouldn't part with it for all the world." "Now, please do me the favour of putting everything out and going to sleep." " Okay, Dad." " Good night." " He almost saw me." " He saw your feet but didn't say anything." "Why haven't I seen her before?" "I really like her." "It'd be convenient if you liked her friend." "You know I'm in love with my cousin and her long hair." "The idiot wants it cut but I hope I'll still like her." " Is she in love with you?" " I don't know." "If I like her with short hair I'll write her a declaration." " See you at the usual place." " I'll let you know." "EIGHT DAYS LATER" "I've seen her three times this week and she's noticed me." "The first time was the 'Eroica' symphony." "I was sitting behind her, to her right, and she took off her scarf." "All evening I watched her hair and neck." "I couldn't take my eyes off her." "I decided to speak and threaded my way after her, but she'd met a friend..." "I followed them for five minutes, then I went home." "Then on Thursday I went half an hour early to sit next to her." "There was hardly anyone there so I went out to wait for the hall to fill up." "I didn't see her at first, kneeling on a seat, talking to a friend." "I sat down beside her." "She nodded in vague recognition." "But she went back to where she'd left her coat." "I didn't dare move, it'd have been too obvious." "The third time was yesterday strolling along with a shopping bag." " She must live near me." " Manoeuvres over, time to attack." "In fact, what did Pierre Schaeffer teach us?" "Finally, Antoine succeeds in sitting next to Colette and while searching for a sentence in the opening speech she responds by asking for clarification on the program." "Normally I get off at Rome or Clichy, strange I've not seen you." "Do you go there often?" "All the Russian ones." "Mussorgsky, Borodin." "On Sunday morning." "Perhaps it's not so strange after all." "Just a shame." "We'd have met sooner or later." "I think we live in the same area." "I saw you shopping." "Yes, I live in Rue Lecluse." " What do you do?" " I'm a student doing A levels." "And you?" " I work in the record industry." " Work?" "I work at Philips." "I live alone, so I earn my living." " How great to be independent." " It depends." "Hey!" "That's my stepfather's car." "Are you coming to Gavoty on Thursday?" "Yes, I think so, but if not I might go to another one." "Why not give me your phone number anyway?" "It's better in the evening." "It's Carnot 0832." "I must go up." "I've got work to do." "Goodnight, see you soon." "Antoine sees Colette several times a week." "They swap books and records." "They discuss stereos over coffee and lemon squash take turns to see each other home and talk for hours in doorways." "Colette treats Antoine as a friend, which he either doesn't realise or is temporarily satisfied with." "This is our second session dedicated to experimental music." "The first one was given by Pierre Schaeffer, and I could tell by the quality of your silence, and by the letters I've received, the level of interest generated..." " Hello, Colette?" " Yes, it's me." "Oh, my head!" "Were you ill yesterday?" "Didn't I tell you?" "I was at a party with some friends." "They're so crazy!" "We just did silly things all evening." "It was such fun, but by the end we were totally loony." "It must have been five in the morning when we finished." "Can I come over this afternoon?" "If you like, but I mightn't be there, we thought we'd all meet again today." " All right." "See you later." " Yes, come over just in case." " Yes?" " Is Colette in, please?" " No, why?" " I'm returning these books she lent me." " I'll give them to her." " Oh, and a letter too." "All right, I'll pass it all on to her." "Aren't you Antoine?" " Yes, Madam." " She's often talked about you, come in." " Who is it?" " It's a friend of Colette's." "Have you got a minute?" " Okay, only five minutes." " Please." "It's Antoine, you know, Colette's friend." "You're in the same class, aren't you?" "Not at all." "They met at the Jeunesses Musicales." "Colette told us all about it." " Antoine works with records, I think." " Yes, I work at Philips." "My wife brings up her daughter, but I think people should start work early." "At fifteen I was a mechanic at the Laborde Garage and now I'm the owner." " Do you want a drink?" " Not for me, thank you." "Education leads nowhere." "Take Victor Hugo..." "Oh, please, not Victor Hugo again." "Hugo denounced evil but offered us no alternative." " Don't you agree?" " Yes, maybe." "I'm afraid I must go now." "Don't go, Colette will be disappointed." "You must come to dinner one evening." "We'll arrange it with Colette." "Dear Antoine, your declaration was so nicely put." "A man of experience!" "Will you go to Maurice Leroux tonight?" "Thank you for the books." "My mother thought you romantic, it's probably your long hair." "Till this evening, dear friend." "Colette." " Do you see what I see?" " It's Antoine!" "And right opposite." "What's going on?" "Do you live there?" "Yes, I moved in this afternoon." " From this afternoon." " You're happy, right?" "Can we come up and see?" "Let's visit the palace!" " Hello!" " How are you?" "He's all settled in, look!" " Congratulations." " I have this record, too." "Amazing!" "Washbasin, telephone..." "Look, our windows." "Come and look, you two." "There are our two windows, but we have the sun." "My wife will not leave you in peace now." "We don't need an alarm clock, he can just call out to us." " Are your parents still alive?" " Yes, but I don't see them often." " We don't get on." " What a shame." "That must upset your mother." "Well, it's partly my fault." "When I was at home I was always running away." "Where is one better than with the family?" "Answer: anywhere!" "Yes." "Herve Bazin wrote that." "Colette pretends to be..." " Hey Francois, pour us more wine!" " Unbelievable!" "No respect at all now!" "Me too!" "Colette's parents miss their daughter, who is never at home." "So they adopt Antoine and often invite him over." "From his window Antoine watches Colette's comings and goings." "She treats him the same and doesn't feel any closer to him." "Hello, Antoine, how are you?" "What brings you here?" "I have two tickets for a lecture, it's Gavoty on electronic music." "Yes, but I must work." " Or the cinema?" " No, I just can't." " Could we talk for five minutes." " No, another day." "Goodbye." "I was such an idiot, I started this all wrong." "I shouldn't be in love with her." "She treats me as a friend." "When I want to be serious with her, she's bored." "Yet I still freeze for hours at her door." "I'll tell you about my cousin, anyway." "Her hair's like Joan of Arc's." "I love her." "I've written her loads of letters." "It's going well." "Look, this is her reply." " Oh, terrific!" " That's not all." "Look at the envelope." "I've moved." "I'm in production now." " Ice cream?" " No, thanks." "This is the first album I made, it's for you." "Oh, how kind." "In the slalom, it was the Austrians and the French who shone." "Here we see a descent in two minutes and five seconds putting him in front of the Austrian." "This Frenchman finished fourth ... made more difficult by imperfect conditions of the track." "The Swiss, who did so well in the first heat wins the slalom in two minutes and four seconds." "But it's an Austrian who is the overall winner." "Forced into second place is..." "I've been knocking for five minutes." "You're going quite deaf." "It's so dark." "Are you ill?" "Listen, Colette, we must sort things out." "I mean, this little game, all this blowing hot and cold, is making me ill." "You're really stupid!" "Of course I know it's my fault." "I shouldn't have moved in opposite." "I'm going back to where I used to live." "But please leave me alone." " Get lost!" " Oh, what a bore!" "You get lost." " Anyway, you're invited to dinner." " No, I won't go." "This has nothing to do with it." "If you're asked to dinner, come." "If you change your mind, we'll eat in a quarter of an hour." " Hello, Antoine." " Madame." " Sit down." "Have you eaten?" " Yes, sir." " Sure?" " Yes, thank you." "Quite sure?" "It's easy to make an omelette and salad." "Honestly, I'll just have a mandarin." " So what's new, Antoine?" " Are you going out this evening?" "I've two tickets for Schwarzhof, but I don't know..." " You can both go." " No, I can't." " Why not?" " It's none of your business." "Schwarzhof is being shown on television." "I read it in the paper." " Do you want a plate for the peel?" " Don't bother, I'll put it on yours." " Who's that?" " I don't know." "It's all go!" "Come in, it's this way." "This is Albert." "I've told you about him." "My father, my mother..." "And Antoine." "I think you know each other." " Yes, we met once." " Just a minute, I'll get my coat." " Give me a cigarette, please." "That's it, I'm ready." "We're going." "Bye." " Goodnight." " Have a nice evening." "Should we watch the concert?" "Can I have a light?" "Help, help!" "Help her, Wladek!" "Are you crazy?" "Mamma!" "Mamma, mamma!" "Over there!" " The exit's right!" " Cut it out, do you want to kill me?" " Come on, quickly!" " Don't worry, I'm taking you to mamma." "Can you get it open?" "I can't do it!" "Dammit!" "Give her to me!" "It's all right." "Is this your glove?" "What have you lost?" " My pen must have fallen out." " Does it matter?" "It's gold!" "How could it have fallen out?" "I'm an idiot...it's at home!" " Where's the guy that saved her?" " The one with the bike!" "Let's go!" " Wait, wait!" "It's too bad I can only give you a ride on a bike." " I find it kind of funny." " Where are we going?" " My place." "My hospitality in exchange for the lift." "Even if it doesn't seem dangerous you should beware!" "It's not much, but it's home." "What are you waiting for, take off that wet coat." " You live alone?" " Yes, at least for now." " And before?" " I lived with my father." "Excuse me, do you mind?" " And your mother?" " My parents divorced two years ago." "Here's the bathroom, I put a clean towel in." "You can freshen up." "I lived in the provinces before I came here." "There's furniture there, but this apartment was almost empty." " It's just as good here in town?" " Yes, very." "Come here if you've finished." " It's OK?" " Yes, come in." "It's been very nice of you, but I should go now." "Thank you." "But you haven't washed." " I was afraid for you." " I can imagine." "We did what was right." " We did?" " Yes, you threw some rocks!" " You're hurt!" " It 's just a scratch." " I'll get some alcohol." " Thanks." " That's going to sting." " It's good for you." "Doorbell's ringing." "That'll be my father." " Hi!" " Hi." "Wait, what do you want?" " Is he with you?" " Who?" "The one who saved the girl." " Hello." " Hi!" " Can I see the animal tamer?" " If you really want." "Introduce yourself." " Where did you hide the hero?" " Come in, he's in there." " Good evening, I haven't seen you around." " Yeah ..." " Why?" " I had some trouble." "My pleasure." "Hi, I hope you're the last." " The man you see here is ..." " We know!" " Congratulations!" " Wladek told us everything." "Really?" " Do you work at the zoo?" " You'll get a promotion!" " Take this." " I'm just a common worker." "Maybe you can help me, my aunt has to pay a fee for a dog that died." " I'd help out if I could" " You like dogs?" "Of course, I love all animals." "Weren't you afraid when the bear was so close?" "I think he knew it wouldn't attack." "Animals recognise people that love them." " You will certainly be recognised." " A medal." "Or on TV." " I'd prefer a washing machine." "You wash laundry by yourself?" "No..." "Wait, let me help." " He's too gallant." "You snubbed Wladek because he's not a hero?" " None of your business." " Stop studying, you're not going to be an astronaut." "Friends, I want a drink that will go down in history." " That's pretty, where did you get it?" " It 's from a very expensive shop!" "Too bad I've never had the chance to make a rescue." "I don't think there's any profit in it." "Heroes are a rare commodity in our atomic era." " To your health, friend." " And yours." "But I don't ..." "Tell me, are you married?" "No...no girlfriend." "Basia must have fallen in love with you like a bolt from the blue." " Have you ever heard John Render?" " Who's he?" " A famous pianist!" " No, I don't know him." "Sorry." "Is that the first time you've played the hero?" "Well ... yes and no." "During the war I found myself in difficult situations." " You had to deal with the SS." " Yes" " How's it going?" " Making progress." "Not so often ..." "Let's see ..." "The first time was 16 years ago ..." "Please, tell me everything." "If you like, but you won't find it very interesting." "I was carrying weapons to a group of partisans, and I met an SS patrol from a side street." " I was meeting someone." " What did you do?" "You took a hand grenade and threw it at them!" " How do you know?" " I saw a movie." " By reflex!" " I jumped into a courtyard, climbed over a wall and left the other part of the block." "I've seen other things during the insurgency." "It doesn't matter if you can't remember the details." "We've read history texts about it." "Okay." "During the revolt of the south-east sector," "My friend and I ventured out alone bringing with us ..." " Alone?" " We had a couple of cows." "What do you want with two cows?" "No, I meant to say two flame throwers." "But we had no luck, my friend saved his own skin." "I was wounded in the leg and made prisoner." "If the partisans hadn't miraculously arrived," "I'd have certainly been shot." "That's enough, let's do something else." " How about some music?" " Great idea." " What are you doing?" " We're helping Basia solve a problem." " It's Arabic to me." " Let's see ..." " What do you want to see?" " You know less than I do." " It's confusing." " I'll explain it." " I'm not an idiot." " Marisa, Marisa!" " He's by himself." " So?" " Someone should talk to him." " You go, then." " No, it's too boring." " You're right." "Dudek." " What should we do with the hero?" " Don't ask me." " Let's play a game." " Blind Man's Bluff." " Let's make our veteran a Blind Russian." " With pleasure." "Now we need to calculate the area of the triangle." "The result should be equal ... yes, coming!" "Thanks, I can finish it." "Go to the others." " I think it's clear." " Yes, I think I can get it." "Enough!" "Enough!" "Enough!" "Cease fire!" "Cease fire!" "Enough, enough!" "Cease fire!" "Cease fire!" "Executions are suspended!" "Bring the prisoners to the camp." "Give me a hand, he's hung over!" "Quiet down!" "And this is the hero?" "Help me get him on his feet, see if he can stand." " It's not easy for me to do it." " Good ..." "Try again." "Hey, keep still!" "Leave him alone!" "Stop it!" "And he was so good-looking!" "Are you crazy?" "What do you want?" "It hasn't done much for your status, the merit of bear-taming!" "I know." "I'm not a coward." "They think I'm afraid but it's not true." "I'm not a coward." "Don't take it so hard, you took some pretty pictures." "Do you want me to come with you?" "Is it cold outside?" "A little." " Where were you yesterday?" " You didn't want to see me." " Who said?" " I've developed the pictures, look." " Not now." " They're beautiful." " Later." "Everything still OK?" "Why not talk?" "At least I still love you." "Don't cry, Christina." "Don't cry." "I do feel guilty." "If you say so." "Then why are you crying?" "Aren't you happy?" " Give me a cigarette." " Sure." " Now ..." " My love." "You don't know how I love you." " I have to tell my mother." " Sure, if you think so." "But there's no hurry, choose the right time." "Why?" "Dear, I need a little time." "I see it all now." "Don't go on so." "Don't do this, I despair." " Be reasonable." " No, I just want to be with you!" " Really?" " Yes." " I believe you need me." " Even now ..." "Now more than ever." "So we'll always be together now." "Well ... no." "I need some time, I told you." "To speak with your mother." " When?" " Soon." "Why not come with me and stay home?" "Of course I will, but not tonight." " I don't feel what you say to me is true." " Why not?" "You should get dressed, you're cold." " Hi, Leonardo" " Kitty ... what are you doing?" "I'm bored ..." "No, don't leave me alone, come here!" "You're strong!" "...with open windows, behind closed doors, and music ..." " Hello." " Hi." "... music that comes out of all the gorges   you can see the shadows of the evening ..." " Good evening." "Have you seen Valentina?" " Hello." " Hello." " Hello." "Look, do you know where Valentina is?" "It's hot." " Hi." " Hello." "Why did you come so late?" "What is it, Leonardo?" " Nothing." " What?" " We need to talk." "Okay." " Somewhere else?" " Yes, it's better." "So?" "It's not easy, you must help me." "You need something." "No ... it's that ..." "No more, Valentina." "I can't go on like this." "It's not fair that I ..." "we should part." "What we're doing is no longer the same as before." "Everything is ... you know ..." " It ends here." " Why should I want to go?" "Valentina, I don't want to leave, but it's necessary." "For that stupid girl, right?" " It 's that ..." " Yes, I get it." "But I won't pay any mind, it all comes back to this." "I never put myself between you and her." "I've never stopped you from seeing her, yet I've done wrong." "Why should it matter?" "What need is there to dramatise?" "To me it seems so clear." "I don't feel like ..." "I can't stay with her ... and then with you, do you understand?" "I don't ask you much." "And you have everything." " Now let me go." " So easy!" "The kid shows up, says hello, then goes away." "You've thought this through?" "You won't come back anymore." "Where will you go?" "In the clear moonlight with your beauty?" "Where will you take her?" "The neighbourhood cinema or table soccer?" "This I'd like to see." "It's your dream, have you thought about it?" "How does it look?" "Is it the same as when I met you?" "As it was?" "As it is now." "Like now." "What a nerve." "What makes you tick?" "How do you present yourself?" "What do you wear?" "All of you, Everything that you are now ... is from me." "Everything, you understand?" "I'm going." "No, Leonardo, wait!" "Wait, Leonardo!" "Hello...hello?" "Yes, that's me." "What?" "All right." "Yes, I'll get dressed and be right there." " Good evening." "Do you know who I am?" " No." " Leonardo hasn't ever spoken about me?" " Leonardo?" "No, why?" "I want to talk to you about him." " You're his friend, right?" " Sure, but what's that to you?" "Nothing, I assure you." "But I want to talk to you about him all the same, for your own good." " You're about to make a big mistake." " A mistake?" "At the risk of ruining your life." " You don't know Leonardo." " But you do?" "Yes, much better than you." "However ..." "Let's not stand here, come and sit in the car." "Get in." "Then you really don't know who I am?" "A relative, maybe?" "More intimate, my dear." "Hey, see those two?" "How about it?" "You don't know anything about me, but I've known of you since your first meeting." "Everything about you." "Wanna give us a ride, beautiful?" "That idiot!" "What's her game?" "Hello?" "Good evening, Madam, it's Leonardo." "Is Christina there?" "I see." "Thank you." "Goodnight." "I want to get out now." "I can see that you're just jealous." "You're only a girl." "You haven't understood anything." "Leonardo's older than you, he'll tire of you soon." " That's not your concern." " Indeed." "But you have to know everything." "Leonardo owes a lot to me and is accustomed to what I've given him." "If I leave now, I'll regret him taking up with you." "You can't even give him a crumb of what I've done." " You're rich, right?" " There's nothing wrong with that." "Leonardo doesn't have a problem with it, at least." "He loves me, I'm sure." " It's possible." "But it's no good for you." " Me?" "Leonardo is going through a decisive crisis in his life." "And you won't be able to help him, only clip his wings." "Sentimentality isn't enough." "Love is not only to kiss in the moonlight and make promises eternal." "We've made plans." "I'm sure I'll be happy, I feel it." "Happy!" "But for how long?" "When the dreams vanish and you are faced with the reality, your romantic love in misery." "I'll tell you again:" "Leonardo is not for you." "Wealth is a drug." "And what you need is honesty, purity." "Go away!" "Please, go away!" "One moment." "Your ticket." " I use a pass." " Okay, thanks." "Hey, look." "Look how cute she is!" "Passes every Thursday at this time." " Where is Toyama?" " Back there." "Hey, Toyama." "This is for you." " How many do you have today?" " I don't know." "Imagine that." "You always have your head in the clouds!" " So, the bill is correct?" " Yes, but there is one small detail." "You forgot to pay." " How stupid." "Today is the 19th?" " Exactly." "It's my birthday." "How many years old?" "You don't ask a woman these questions." "You're 38!" "The 19th ..." " It's my birthday too!" " Two together!" " We should have a big party." " No, I don't think so." " 20 years, you should enjoy it." " It's true, have a drink." "Why?" "I don't have anything to celebrate." "I said "38 years" and she was furious." "Became even more ugly, which wasn't easy." "But should be enough for Hiroshi." "Remember, tonight you have to buy the drinks." " If there's anything to drink to." " You're so depressing." "You're right, at our age we should be enjoying life." "Instead we slog from morning to night." "But something could happen." "And we'll reach 50 waiting for it to happen." "So should we just cut our throats?" "Something will happen." " I don't want to come." " Buck up and don't be shy." " Hello." " Good morning, girls." " I brought some cake." " Thanks." " Something for you all." " Thanks, that's nice of you." "This is for you, take it." " No, thanks." " Only a little, to make me happy." "Hiroshi, what is left, is lost." "Goodbye." "She's got a crush on Hiroshi." "If you're not careful, you'll fall for her." "ldiots!" "He's difficult to please, it would take at least Miss Japan." "Maybe there's a yukata nobody wants that you could try on." "They'd rather commit harakiri than kiss." "Yeah?" "You ever looked in the mirror?" "Hiroshi, look." "Now that winter's coming, we have time to meet more often." " And then?" " Nothing, just always enjoy looking." " Go talk to her." " I'm not that type." "I forgot, I have something to do." "I've got to go." " You can't put it off?" " No, I'll see you tomorrow." "Hiroshi!" "You sleepwalking, jerk?" "My love." "Hi." "Is that your knife?" "Want some?" "You've changed recently." "You must be in love." "Is she beautiful?" "I'm jealous, I've always hoped to become your girlfriend." " That could happen." " Be serious!" "Really?" "Wait and see." "I can do it." "It's easy." "It's been a week now." "It was unusual for her to be out so late." "Girls shouldn't pass along that dark road." " I can't understand why she was killed." " Maybe she was mistaken for another." "In the dark she could look beautiful." "I've been following you for a month." "And I don't even know your name!" "What do you want?" "Now ..." "I'll never know your name." " Give me a drink, quick." " What do you want?" "Give me some sake." "The good stuff." "That slop'll ruin you." " Today's a party." " What party?" " I can't tell you, it's a secret." " I don't care." "But you can buy me a drink." "Hello?" "Who's there?" "Go ahead." "What?" "I don't follow you." "No, not possible." "You want to show me something?" "Where are you calling from?" "Who is this?" "I loved her ..." "I loved her too much..." "That's why I killed her!" "The pin that I have in my hand is all that remains of her to me." "All that remains." "Why are you calling?" "I called because there is a response to what I did." "And I wanted everybody to know." "Only then will she belong to me forever!" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Say something!" "I'm listening." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Please answer." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Eight kilos?" "Is that weight right?" "I'm not sure what to make of that, after all, it is your first." "The documents are ready, see you there soon." "Got a coin?" "It's 1:15 and a flight from Singapore has just landed." "Arriving on it is Tony Reicher, a 23-year old photojournalist." "He's heard from the girl with whom he's just had a son, and is on his way to meet her." " It 's a critical situation." " Yes, and who knows how it's going to end up." "If we don't handle it right, we're done with Latin America." "We shouldn't underestimate what's happening in Havana." "Things are on the move, eh?" "No, there are only speeches by Castro." "But I had a girl there." "The problem with my work is that they're always around you." "As soon as you're struck by some woman, you run into another somewhere else." "But complications are created equally." "Don't take it too hard, there are worse things in life." " I've had them all." " You might also get the worst of it." " For example?" " An eight-kilo child." " Tony!" "You got back to Munich today?" " Yes." "Call me, I'm doing a film!" "I'm only stopping one day, tomorrow I'll be in Paris and I do not know what then." " What did you say?" " We could go to dinner together." " You can meet me at the usual place." " Tonight!" "See you." " Do I know this girl?" " She's an actress, quite famous." " No, I'm talking about the mother." " I don't know, it's possible." "Is it that brunette who was a teleophonist and not confident?" " Is that right?" " Yes, she's a little shy." "But not too much, otherwise you wouldn't be here today." " It seems like a good idea." " I think you would be comfortable." "Please, go ahead" " Can I help you?" " I'd like to see Miss Danning." "Mrs Danning." "Room 233." "Who should I say is coming?" "Riecher." "Tony Reicher." "Come inside." "Through here...hey, where are you going?" " I'm speaking to you." " I want Miss ..." "Mrs Danning." " Are you one of the family?" " Not exactly." "I'm Reicher, Tony Reicher." " You're the father!" " Yes, sister." "Then come with me." "What are those?" " Carnations." " I can see." "Only three!" " And not even fresh." " I just arrived here, I didn't have time." "Better than nothing." "Come with me." "His skin's all wrinkled, is that normal?" "If you took more of an interest you would know they're all born that way." "Come in." "Hello." "You look well, Ursula." "They're wonderful, it's nice of you to remember my favourite flowers." "It's the least I could do." "Where can we put them?" "Just here for now." " Marina, could you put these in some water?" " Of course, I'll get a vase." " You came from Havana?" " No, from Singapore." "I had to go otherwise the deal would have fallen through." " It's your baby?" " He's the most handsome in the clinic." "That's very nice of you, thank you." "He didn't get any of his looks from his father." "I'm Paul Saleb, and this is my wife." " My pleasure." "Tony Reicher." " Pleasure." "Your wife always talks about you, and very well." " Now we can meet you." " I'd like to, but I have to fly out tonight." "I envy you, how fascinating to travel about the world." " It 's very exciting." " But not always fun." "Tonight I go to Paris to follow the trial of a murderer." " I'm sorry to leave you." " Yeah." "Your work comes first." "I'll get used to it." "I feel too deeply." "You brought the documents for the recognition of the child?" "Of course, that's why I'm here." " I mean, not just for this." " Thanks for the clarification." "Don't be like that." "Did you tell your father?" " Did he come?" " Yes, but it didn't go well." "Try to do something, will you?" "I saw the baby, it's beautiful." " You really think so?" " Of course." "Wait a minute, take this!" "Mr Reicher, I was told you were here." "How are you?" " Much better." " Congratulations, it's a beautiful baby." " The doctor is an angel." " It's my pleasure." " She's a very brave girl." " Yes, she's always shown that." "It's my understanding, that since the patient is much better," "and there is a beautiful sun outside, you should venture to take a walk." "But I recommend no exertion or excitement." " And be mindful of your throat." " Not even a little chocolate?" "No." "You should bring her back no later than seven." "Our schedules are very rigid." "Please, please." "I'll leave it to you." "I think you understand what the doctor intended." " Here's the jar." " It's okay to leave here, right?" "Could the gentlemen please leave the room?" " What dress should I wear?" " The most beautiful, of course." " It doesn't matter, she's always pretty." " Come on, what are you waiting for?" " You think that's the right tactic?" " Listen, I have more experience than you." "For Tony Reicher the worst moment has passed." "In a few hours he can leave everything behind." " What is it?" " Nothing." " If you want to buy something..." " No, I don't want anything." "You can reproach me, but but I don't think it has credibility." "It's the fault of my disordered life." "I bow to female superiority." "Not a superior woman, just a happy one." "That makes sense, you got what you wanted." "I'm not helping you much." "And how will you manage to go on?" "I don't know." "But I assure you I won't miss anything." "So you don't need to have a guilty conscience." "If you want to know the truth, I am happy." "Very." "You want to convince yourself that you're happy and it wasn't wrong to have a baby." "So it's natural to have a baby." "If everyone followed nature there would be overpopulation." "Even if you do not want, I'll do everything possible for you two." "It might be better for everyone if he doesn't know." "If it hadn't happened then, there could have been others." "It's possible." "It was different when I knew her at Jimmy's house." "I live in Bradford." "What if I had not accompanied you home that evening?" "Now we could start all over again." "We're very different." "You're used to travelling around the world, meeting famous people who I've only spoken to on the phone." "Sorry, the Director hasn't arrived yet." "Try again later." "Good morning, sir." "Who do you want?" "Tony, what a surprise!" "A party?" "And you accepted immediately." "It was a little cold, it rained." "You were prettily wrapped." "I was still sleeping." " What was that?" " Hello, who's speaking?" "They all say he's a beautiful child, even the doctor." "It's not true that you don't look like him, I just said that to make you angry." "I'm happy." "You'll stay in my home, in Hamburg." " I'd rather not move too soon, for the child." " You're right." "Soon I'll have a break and we'll be together." "We can do interesting things and get to know ourselves better." "I agree." "Well." "And then you can just ..." "Tony, let's take it a step at a time." " Can I ask you something?" " Sure." "Don't laugh, but I want a Matta sausage." "No, the doctor has forbidden you." "These two men meet on a bridge, and Frederick says to Gerry ..." "No, Gerry says to Frederick ..." " Hey!" "Have you heard this joke before?" " No." "Well." "Then Gerry tells Frederick ..." "I can't remember how it goes." "I can never remember jokes." "You tell me one." "Tony!" "How are ya, Tony!" "Hi!" "I'm going to a photo shoot." "Can't stop now, see you tonight like we said." "Wait a minute!" "Come on." "Sorry, but I'm in a hurry." "Vera, I have to talk!" "Ursula!" " It 's after hours, no visitors." " But I have to see her." "She's resting, I can't disturb her." "Then tell her I'll call her as soon as I get to Paris." " And tell her I'm sorry." " Okay, I'll tell her." "Another thing ..." "This book will denounce corruption behind the "economic miracle"." " You've got to help me find a title." " You can think of one." "I hope it's going to be a success." "When are you going to Hamburg?" "I haven't decided yet." "I'd like some advice from your father for the first draft of the book." " What book?" " The one we've been discussing the last two hours!" "Yes ... sounds great." "I've never seen you so restless." "Things with that girl didn't go as you wanted, right?" " What do you mean?" " You're not free of her." "Not so." " I made it!" " I didn't expect to see you." "Tony ... the documents." "I can't enter the registry without them." "Sorry, I must go, I have an appointment for work." " Call me." "See you." " Yes, sure." "Good evening." "Come on, let's sit down." " How did you leave the clinic?" " It was easy." "The back door." " I could have sent you the documents." " You know that I wanted to see you." "You shouldn't have done it, you're tired." "Last call!" "Let me know how that joke ends." " This isn't the time, the train's leaving." " Go on." " You know I'm useless at it." " It'll be funny." "All right!" "Frederick and Gerry meet on a bridge, and Gerry says to Frederick ..." "I mean, Frederick tells Gerry ..." "Again, as usual!" "Don't give up, honey." "You have a bit of time to think about it." "It's 8:25." "The Orient Express is about to leave." "Tony thinks "It's strange." "People meet, fall in love, they marry, and have a child." "It's done in a confusion of ways but the result is the same."" "And he takes the first photo for the family album." " I don't know what you mean!" "Subtitled by Shane Burridge"
