"THE SANGUINAIRES" "Everyone wants to go to New York." "What can I do?" "No." "People have gone mad." "It's incredible." "I could close shop." "Very little change." "Everything's full." "We've been swamped for six months." "We don't get cancellations on these kind of flights." "New York on the 28th?" "Nothing!" "I'm totally sold out." "Hold the line, please." "Hello." "Jetlag Travel Agency." "Pierre, I've had it!" "No." "I'm snowed under!" "I've found a great place, but I'm not saying any more." "Not another word." "I'll send you all a note." "Got to go." "Paris, December 7, 1999." "Dear all." "This time I've found it." "Paradise!" "Where we're going, I promise you... no worldwide broadcasts... no cosmic light shows... no countdowns... to bore us senseless... with the year 2000." "Nothing will happen." "Just peace and fresh air." "I'll arrange everything." "Meeting at 8:00 a.m., December 25... at the Café des Colonnes." "Love..." "Francois." "Look at the donkey." "How did it get here?" "Got everything?" "It's wonderful!" "I swear he told me nothing." "Are we staying up there?" "The watchtower." "The caretaker has the keys." "I saw his boat in Ajaccio." "He'll be here soon." "The boat's going." "He's leaving us?" "What if your guy doesn't come?" "We've no phone." "Don't stress us out!" "He's missing his phone!" "He's addicted to it!" "You can swim for help if there's a problem." "Everything's fine." "There's no danger, and we know he's in Ajaccio." "Give him time!" "You wanted peace." "Now enjoy it." " Stop complaining." " We're not!" "You're like pensioners dumped on the moon!" "We almost are." "Hurry up!" "Yes, come on!" "It's high up." "Keep cool." "You won't open it like that." "All shut this side, too." "Sit down." "You're making me dizzy." "You fixed a time?" "Noon." "Hello." "Stéphane." "Sorry I'm late." "Yes." "Hi, girls!" "What are your names?" " I'm Luckie." " Marie." "I'm Stéphane." "Wine for the boys." "You got here all right?" "You can come in." " Where are the rooms?" " Just up the stairs." "Choose the one you want." "There's a thing for kids here." "It's all right." "Not three star, but okay." " How about heating?" " There isn't any." "Didn't he say?" "It's only let out in summertime." "You're joking?" "I'm afraid not." "How about lighting?" "Great." " Will it do?" " It's fine." "They look heavy." "Come on." "Keep up!" "They're damp and they'll be dirty, too, if you drop them." "Into your pajamas." "Will you help me?" "Pull it down." " Not too damp?" " It'll be all right." " Yes." " Don't worry, Francois." "Everything's fine." "We're so happy to be here." "Pull it tight, Michael." "It has to be smooth." "They're taking the piss!" "A week here!" "The ceiling's falling in!" "It's rotten." "Look at this bed." "We're meant to sleep on that?" "Forget it!" " How about a hand?" " What now?" " Fit for kings!" " The lap of luxury!" "It smells of cockroaches." "This mattress is mouldy." "We can't sleep here!" "Make your beds, then come and eat." "We've gone wrong!" "How's communal living?" "Different, but okay." "You really live here?" "All year?" "What do you do here?" "There's lots of tourists in summer." "Nothing in winter." "Great!" "But you see some people?" "Friends come, or I go into town." "You don't get bored?" "Not really." "Anyway, it's my job." "I'm caretaker." "You're paid to look after this dump?" "Not here, the lighthouse." "There's equipment inside worth thousands." "I'm here so it's not burgled again." "Not afraid we might?" "You?" "Not at all." "Let's see." " Don't touch, Bruno." " Put it away!" "Easy!" "It's not loaded." " It's dangerous, not a toy." " It's a nine millimetre." "Unloaded, so not dangerous." "Okay." "I won't get it out again." "Stop that!" "Leave it for tonight." "We'll take it in turns later... but the first night I'll do it." "A word for latecomers." "From tomorrow, traffic is restricted in Paris... to vehicles displaying an official "Year 2000" event badge..." "Turn the radio off, please." "Listen in private if you want, but not here." "We're on holiday." "We don't want that rubbish!" "It's only the radio." "Explain it to him." "We're here for some peace." "We decided no TV, radio or mobiles." "Nothing." "No mass hysteria." "You'd see if you were in Paris!" "Francois is a bit tense." "He organized everything for us." "You have to forgive him." "For what, Pierre?" "He turns up five hours late... without a word of apology." "We don't complain, but there are limits!" "I'm sorry." "I don't have to justify myself." "We have a right to decide things... and have them happen." "He's only paid... to be here with his boat." "The customer's always right." "You're bound to be right." "You don't need to go to Paris." "There are parties all over." "There are screens in Ajaccio." "It'll be wild!" "But even in Ajaccio..." "We can't really go there, unless you mean to swim." "We'll get nowhere like this!" "Know what you want." "Stay if you want." "We're leaving." " You have cold feet." " They're better now." "Why did I bring you here?" "It's a disaster." "We'll either die of cold or boredom." "Not at all." "It's wonderful." "Everyone's delighted." "It's a bit spartan." "No, you're just tense." "I think it's quite comfy." "I was stupid to get wound up about the radio." "You want sympathy?" "No one minded." "I doubt Stéphane bears grudges." "There you are." "Sleep well?" "Like a baby." "Hi, Cathy." " Am I the last?" " You take the prize!" " Where are they?" " Just out on the terrace." "What are they doing?" "Having fun making the kids a hut." "We haven't seen them all morning." "Francois!" "It's to make it pretty." "Bring things to decorate it." "Thanks, Marie" "Lovely" " Stop!" "You'll cut yourselves." " We won't!" " One at a time." " Me now!" "You're next." "Let him have a go." "Very good." "What shall we do next?" "Your machines are deafening." "He's great." "They took to him instantly." "Let them do it." "He doesn't mind." "It's no fun if you do it all." "It's all right." "Leave them." "Francois!" "What are you doing?" "Stéphane's going to teach us to catch crabs." "I'd rather stay here in the sun." "Do come!" "What's up?" "You okay?" "I'm fine." "You're sulking." "I'm wondering why we're here." "Don't start." "He's getting up my nose." "Who, Stéphane?" "You won't let it go." "I can't stand him." "Still a kid and always on our backs." "He's everywhere, showing off." " You're jealous." " Of what?" "This is ridiculous." "What are we doing?" "Going?" "Where are these crabs?" "I love crabs." "These are only for soup." "I can make soup." " Got a fishing rod?" " Do you fish?" "A bit." "Can I borrow it?" "Yes." "What else is there to eat here?" "Not much in this season." "Sea urchins?" "Yes, but they can't fill you up." "I love them." "We can make an Oursinade." "I bet we can last the week without opening the freezer." " You don't look convinced." " Who, me?" "He's blasé." "I've seen a spot swimming with fish." "Sure, there's loads of fish!" "Who remembers how they saw the year 2000 as a kid?" "Catherine and I promised to get married." "In an asbestos suit." "And we'd have seven children." "Why seven?" "Because of the seven dwarves." "Stop putting yourself down!" "And you, Isabelle?" "Not married or with children." " You did well then!" " It's all right." "For me it was easy!" "I'd hop around by personal helicopter... with robots at home to do the work." "And on New Year's Eve..." "Little robots?" "Yes." "Thanks." " And New Year on the moon." " Me, too." "I dreamed of floating in space with astronauts... bubbles of water drifting through the air... yyou drank through a straw." " Steaks in tubes." "All that stuff." " And you, Pierre?" "Me?" "I never thought about it." "I was really neurotic about it." "As a kid, I couldn't imagine myself at 40." "I was really worried about the year 2000." "But now here I am, 40 years old." "It's horrible." "Still a hypochondriac." "Not as much." "It doesn't show anyway." "How about the youngsters?" " I don't know." "Nothing." " Have a party!" "And you, Bruno?" "What's this?" "The truth game?" "It's just fun comparing." "You'll flood it." "I've gotta go." "Take me on land." "Count on it." "I don't want problems." "You'd better, then... or I'll say you go off every night." "Are you blackmailing me?" "You're not a kid." "Talk to your dad, and they'll take you ashore one night." " I'll take you, no problem." " Forget it." "I don't need you." "Or anyone." "I don't want anything." "What are you doing?" "Where are you going?" "For a boat ride." "Coming?" "Before the others wake up." " Well?" " No." "Too bad." "Go on, Marie!" "I'm beat." "Take my place, Bruno." "That's enough sulking now." " Stop the tape and come and eat." " It's the radio, not a tape." "I've had enough." "Give me the Walkman." "Give it to me." "Hear me?" "You may like playing scouts." "I fucking don't!" "Best leave him alone." "We said no radios." "Your son is no exception." "Come on, Francois!" "It's quite clear." "Those are the rules!" "Listen to yourself!" "You want me to confess?" "I'm a traitor." "I gave Bruno a Walkman." "He listens to it all day!" "It's my fault!" "Mea culpa!" "Okay now?" "Calm down." "This is getting silly." "You're not here to play cops." "Who's playing cops?" "What's it got to do with you?" "Yes, his father, mother and friend?" "No one asked you to enter." "There are rules!" "Follow them... or fuck off!" "You've gone mad!" "Send us into exile while you're at it!" "If this carries on, I'm going home." "Thank you." "I want to leave." "You're as stubborn as Francois!" " Julian and Claire are having fun." " Of course." " What?" " They're sleeping together." "Julian?" "He's hidden it well." " He's two-faced." " You're jealous?" " No, I'm not." " Yes, you are." "We were going ashore." "I'm alone." "Alone?" "There's us." "What would you do ashore?" "Feel less lonely in a crowd?" "I want to sleep with a girl." "Any girl?" "Why the rush?" "You're only 15." "I wanted it for 2000." "Now I'm stuck here." "And girls would fall at your feet there?" " Why not?" " Yes, why not." "See how sweet it is, kids?" "See its little eyes?" "He's only got one eye." "When you go diving, he comes and says hello." " Want to touch it?" " Yes." "I thought you braver than that." "Don't you want to, Manon?" "That's its beak." " I'll touch the suckers." " Want to touch it, Claire?" "Put it back." "Why, it's dead." "Cretin!" "What's up with her?" "I think you should see to your girl." "You're so friendly with us and the kids." "I can't imagine you all alone." "What can I tell you?" "I don't know." "Don't you get bored?" "Without you, of course I do!" "Don't you need people to talk to?" "Don't you need someone?" "Why not ask if I've a girlfriend?" "I didn't want to pry." "I haven't, but I can anytime." "Really?" "It's dead in winter, but there are tourists in summer." "Danes, Dutch, English, Italians." " Lots of money, too." " So?" "It's not for the ears of a good Catholic." "Everyone can live alone." "You could live without Francois." "I don't follow." "Not really." "I think... eating, drinking and sleeping is vital... but talking or screwing..." "Not a very heartening plan." "It's not a plan." "Why all these questions?" "If you like me, I could make an effort." " How charming!" " It's ready." " What's that?" " A quilt." "I can see." "Where did you get it?" "Steph lent it to me." "Stéphane." "What's he doing lending you his quilt?" "It's so we don't get cold." "You think I'm stupid?" "Be cold then." "I don't believe it!" "Ask him to bed to warm you up!" "Very funny." "I see how you look at him." "You like the wild type, do you?" "You think he's wild." "I find him quite normal." "If you'd just talk to him..." "That's too easy." "This quilt stinks!" "Where are you going?" "Don't get mad." "I'm not." "I have to go round the island." "The donkey's gone." "I want to try and find it." "At night?" "What were you doing?" "Nothing." "You're soaked." "I fell in the water." "Were you fighting?" "No." "The donkey's missing." "Protect that one or she'll take it." "There, and this one here." "So?" "We couldn't find it." "We couldn't reach some places." " Isn't Francois with you?" " He's still looking." "He won't be long." "Where was Daddy?" "Where's the donkey?" "We don't know." "He's somewhere hiding." " Why?" " I don't know." "For fun." " What day is it?" " The 30th." " Sure it's not the 31st?" " No." "When did we arrive?" " The 25th." "Five days ago." " Five days?" "It seems like a year." "Saturday, December 30, 1999." "It's getting closer." "It might be the first and you didn't notice!" "It's the 30th." "It's tomorrow." "The radio said so!" "So it must be true." "You think that's funny?" "Tomorrow's December 31, 1999." "We must celebrate!" "What will you have?" "A blowout?" "A piss-up?" "Why are we here, not somewhere else?" "Must we have this every day?" "You're getting really annoying." "Your Utopia's lovely." "Taking it to the bitter end is admirable." "We all know, thank you." "But stop attacking us." "Who's being attacked?" "I'm keeping you from your computer, okay." "I banned the radio." "You wanted a tyrant, you got one." "I'll take on the role." "But when I said how sick this millennium shit made me... everyone was happy to split." "Now you turn against me in the name of what?" "Personal freedom?" "Great excuse!" "You don't know how abused that term is!" "I know what I want, Pierre." "Who's the aggressor?" "A peaceful idealist on an island... or four billion cretins... glued to their TVs, clapping their hands and chanting 2000?" "And what will they yell afterwards?" "I just wanted to be with friends." "But if I'm alone in my madness, just tell me." "Stop." "You're being stupid." "This is all stupid." "We're on holiday." "You're not some cult leader." "That too!" "Fascist!" "Tyrant!" "Shit!" "What's wrong?" "Why are you mad with the world?" "You were so violent." "I've had it." "Why fight everything?" "It's easy just to let things happen." "We can do as we like." "His sulking won't stop us." "It's no fun if he's freaking out all the time." "I just want to have a party." " Me, too." " That means problems." "I think Francois will want to join us." " I'm not so sure." " Do we care?" " It's not the same." " We should all be together." "I was saying I felt like a party, and you'd do as you liked." "Didn't you intend to celebrate?" "I brought foie gras." "We need more than that, and a bottle of bubbly." "We'll send Stéphane shopping." "Could you come here?" "We're having a party tonight." "Great." "There's some things to get ashore." "Take the gang with you." "Be sensible and come back." "Don't worry." "It's okay with him." "To Ajaccio then." "Isn't it a good idea to let people do as they want?" "Leave me out of it." "I preferred you as Chief Scout." "Now you're getting cynical." "What's on your mind?" "Am I wrong?" "What do you care?" "I've never seen you give up." "What you want is to take punches." "You just don't take them so well now." "You're very hurtful." "I didn't mean to be." "There were big jams at the port... boats everywhere honking their horns." "We couldn't pass." "They're already partying in town... dancing in the streets, big screens everywhere... live links to New York, Tokyo, Paris." "And some strange people on the beach... staring straight at the sun." "Stop ranting and help." "Seen the time?" "Half four." "We won't be ready." "Only 7 hours, 30 minutes." "It's quite something." "Seven hours, 28 minutes and 16 seconds." "Thanks for the preciseness." "I set it to the official clock." "Seven hours, 28 minutes and 8 seconds." "Seven hours, 28 minutes and 5 seconds." "Seven hours, 28 minutes and 2 seconds." "Not a countdown!" "Seven hours, 27 minutes and 55 seconds." "Seven hours, 27 minutes and 51 seconds." "Give us a break!" "Thanks, Jef." "Let's take our watches off so we don't keep looking." "I'm keeping mine." "Take it off." "My hands are greasy." "I'll stay glued to mine if I leave it on." "Catherine!" "Got a watch, Didier?" "Give it to me." " Is this a game?" " I asked for everybody's." "They've started a countdown." "Here." "They won't dare ask you the time." " I'm serving them." " No, me!" " I'm the biggest!" " No, I am!" "Like a Martini?" "Thanks." "Not coming with us?" "Who wants a little cake now?" "I would." "Thanks." "It's a very good party." "Come and see." " You wanted to party." " Not now." " Let him be alone." " Don't touch me!" "Like to come to a desert island?" "Just you and me?" "Where are you going?" "To Ajaccio." "You lot piss me off." "Wait!" "I can't go on." "I feel dizzy." "We're not stopping now." " It'll be fine." " I can't go on." "Follow my footsteps." "I can't bloody move." "Understand?" "Stay where you are." "Don't leave me alone!" "I'll look a bit further on." "It's fine here." "I'm going to see." "Can you hear me?" "Yes." "Francois?" "Well, happy New Year!" "What are they doing?" "Talk of the devil and it shows up!" "Where were you?" "Are you alone?" "Wasn't Bruno with you?" "No." "Bruno!" "He must be with Stéphane." "No." "Stéphane's gone to Ajaccio." "Departure for rescue operation." "Flare visible." "Unit 1." "We've found the boy." " All right?" "Not hurt?" " No, I fell asleep." "What's going on?" "Where's Francois?" "They're looking." "It's all right." "Where is he?" "What happened?" "We saw a light behind the rocks." "I don't know what it was." "The sea was fluorescent." "Francois wanted to see." "I wanted to stop him." "I was paralyzed with dizziness." "Francois left me and went off." "It was dark." "I couldn't see him." "He said he'd reached the beach." "There were fireworks... then nothing." "It was dark." "He'd gone." "He didn't answer anymore." "I called out, I tried to climb back up." "I must have fallen." "I don't remember." "Where is he?" "They're looking." "We'll find him." "Subtitles By Captions, Inc." "Los Angeles"
