1. "Velázquez, past the age of 50,
no longer painted specific objects.
Copy !req
2. He drifted around things
like the air, like twilight,
Copy !req
3. catching unawares in the shimmering
shadows the nuances of color
Copy !req
4. that he transformed into the invisible
core of his silent symphony.
Copy !req
5. Henceforth, he captured only
Copy !req
6. those mysterious interpenetrations
that united shape and tone
Copy !req
7. by means of a secret
but unceasing progression
Copy !req
8. that no convulsion or cataclysm
could interrupt or impede.
Copy !req
9. Space reigns supreme.
Copy !req
10. It's as if some ethereal wave
skimming over surfaces
Copy !req
11. soaked up their visible emanations
to shape them and give them form
Copy !req
12. and then spread them
like a perfume,
Copy !req
13. like an echo of themselves,
Copy !req
14. like some imperceptible dust,
over every surrounding surface.
Copy !req
15. The world he lived in
was a sad one:
Copy !req
16. A degenerate king,
sickly infantes,
Copy !req
17. idiots, dwarfs, cripples,
Copy !req
18. clownish freaks
dressed as princes
Copy !req
19. whose job it was
to laugh at themselves
Copy !req
20. and amuse a court
that lived outside the law,
Copy !req
21. caught in a web
of etiquette, plots and lies,
Copy !req
22. bound by the confessional
and their own remorse.
Copy !req
23. Outside the gates,
the auto-da-fé and silence..."
Copy !req
24. Listen to this, little girl.
Copy !req
25. "A spirit of nostalgia prevails,
Copy !req
26. yet we see none
of the ugliness or sadness,
Copy !req
27. none of the gloom or cruelty
of this crushed childhood.
Copy !req
28. Velázquez is the painter
of the evening,
Copy !req
29. of open spaces and of silence,
Copy !req
30. even when he paints
in broad daylight or in a closed room,
Copy !req
31. even with the din of battle
or of the hunt in his ears.
Copy !req
32. As they seldom
went out during the day,
Copy !req
33. when everything was drowned
in torrid sunshine,
Copy !req
34. Spanish painters
communed with the evening."
Copy !req
35. Beautiful, isn't it, little girl?
Copy !req
36. You're crazy to read her
things like that.
Copy !req
37. Off to bed, sleepyhead!
Copy !req
38. Why hasn't Odile
put them to bed?
Copy !req
39. Because monsieur
let her go off to the movies
Copy !req
40. for the third time this week.
Copy !req
41. "The third time this week."
Of course I did.
Copy !req
42. They're showing Johnny Guitar.
Good for her education.
Copy !req
43. There are
too many idiots around.
Copy !req
44. Hurry up. Frank and Paola
will be here any minute.
Copy !req
45. I'm not going.
I'm staying home with the kids.
Copy !req
46. No! Frank's bringing his niece.
Copy !req
47. She can baby-sit
till we get back.
Copy !req
48. She's a student.
She does it all the time.
Copy !req
49. His niece?
Knowing him, it's a call girl.
Copy !req
50. I'm not going.
Copy !req
51. You'll do as you're told.
Copy !req
52. Papa will introduce you
to the managing director of Standard Oil.
Copy !req
53. And I'll sue the TV people
for firing me.
Copy !req
54. No, you won't.
You'd only lose.
Copy !req
55. And when someone finds you work,
you'll be good enough to take it.
Copy !req
56. That's enough now.
Come on.
Copy !req
57. You're not wearing a slip?
Copy !req
58. No, I'm wearing my new
"Scandale" girdle. It's invisible.
Copy !req
59. "I've got that young look
with my 'Scandale' girdle!"
Copy !req
60. First there was Greek civilization.
Copy !req
61. Then there was the Renaissance.
Copy !req
62. Now we're entering
the Age of the Ass.
Copy !req
63. I'll show you around.
Copy !req
64. She loves children.
Copy !req
65. You can reach us at —
What's the number?
Copy !req
66. 225-70-01.
Copy !req
67. - This is Frank's niece.
- Oh?
Copy !req
68. Good evening.
Copy !req
69. Hi.
Copy !req
70. Can't you say "BALzac 70-01"?
You don't know Balzac?
Copy !req
71. Read César Birotteau, how the Fifth
Symphony pounded in his poor head.
Copy !req
72. - What's eating you?
- Let's go, daddy-o.
Copy !req
73. Chapter Two.
Copy !req
74. Surprise party at the home of
my wife's parents, Mr. And Mrs. Expresso.
Copy !req
75. The Alfa Romeo
has great acceleration,
Copy !req
76. powerful four-wheel
disc brakes,
Copy !req
77. a luxurious interior,
and great traction.
Copy !req
78. It's an exceptional touring car.
Copy !req
79. It's safe, fast
and a pleasure to drive,
Copy !req
80. with great response
and perfect balance.
Copy !req
81. It's easy to stay fresh.
Copy !req
82. Soap washes, cologne refreshes,
perfume perfumes.
Copy !req
83. To combat underarm perspiration,
Copy !req
84. I use Printil after my bath
for all-day protection.
Copy !req
85. It comes
in a wonderfully fresh aerosol,
Copy !req
86. as well as stick and roll-on.
Copy !req
87. But the Oldsmobile Rocket 88
has even more to offer.
Copy !req
88. Its meticulous design,
Copy !req
89. its powerful yet simple lines,
Copy !req
90. and its uncommon elegance
all prove
Copy !req
91. that beauty isn't incompatible
with top performance.
Copy !req
92. You look lonely.
Copy !req
93. He's American.
He doesn't speak French.
Copy !req
94. What's his name?
What's he do?
Copy !req
95. Baudelaire. Very good.
Copy !req
96. I've always wanted to know
exactly what cinema is.
Copy !req
97. My hairdo
Copy !req
98. stayed light and soft all day
thanks to Elnett Satin Spray.
Copy !req
99. And now the spray brushes out
effortlessly, like it was never there.
Copy !req
100. Soft.
Copy !req
101. My hair is like
strands of golden silk...
Copy !req
102. shining...
Copy !req
103. and clean.
Copy !req
104. Women must give up
Copy !req
105. filmy negligees
and romantic nightgowns.
Copy !req
106. Outdoors or in bright light, lingerie
loses its allure and becomes indecent.
Copy !req
107. Olympio's melancholy.
Copy !req
108. Give me the keys
to the Lincoln.
Copy !req
109. You're not staying?
Copy !req
110. No, I'm tired.
Copy !req
111. I've got a mechanism
for seeing called eyes,
Copy !req
112. for hearing called ears,
Copy !req
113. for speaking
called a mouth.
Copy !req
114. But they feel disconnected.
Copy !req
115. They don't work together.
Copy !req
116. A person should feel
like he's one individual.
Copy !req
117. I feel like
I'm many different people.
Copy !req
118. You talk too much.
It tires me out just listening to you.
Copy !req
119. You're right.
I talk too much.
Copy !req
120. A man alone
always talks too much.
Copy !req
121. I'll wait for you at home.
Copy !req
122. Next chapter:
Copy !req
123. Despair...
Copy !req
124. Memory and Freedom...
Copy !req
125. Bitterness... Hope...
Copy !req
126. Remembrance of Things Past.
Copy !req
127. Marianne Renoir.
Copy !req
128. You're still here?
Copy !req
129. Sorry.
Copy !req
130. You missed the last train.
How will you get home?
Copy !req
131. I don't know.
Copy !req
132. You're all alone?
Copy !req
133. I was bored, so I came home.
Copy !req
134. Anything wrong?
You look depressed.
Copy !req
135. Some days are like that.
Everyone you meet is an imbecile.
Copy !req
136. So you start
looking in the mirror
Copy !req
137. and wondering about yourself.
Copy !req
138. Come on.
I'll take you home.
Copy !req
139. Frank lent you his car?
Copy !req
140. Yeah. Why?
Don't you like American cars?
Copy !req
141. Sure.
Copy !req
142. Funny, our meeting
again like this.
Copy !req
143. - It's been four years.
- No, 51/2.
Copy !req
144. It was in October.
Copy !req
145. You're married now?
Copy !req
146. Yes, to an Italian with money.
But she doesn't really interest me.
Copy !req
147. - Why don't you divorce?
- I wanted to, but I've grown too lazy.
Copy !req
148. Like you pointed out once:
Copy !req
149. To want something,
you have to be alive.
Copy !req
150. Do you still teach Spanish?
Copy !req
151. No, I was in television,
but I gave it up.
Copy !req
152. - What about you?
- Oh, nothing special.
Copy !req
153. You don't feel
like talking about yourself.
Copy !req
154. A friend of mine saw you
in London two years ago.
Copy !req
155. Are you still
with that American?
Copy !req
156. No, that ended a long time ago.
Copy !req
157. Have you known Frank long?
Copy !req
158. Not really. Just casually.
Copy !req
159. Mysterious as ever, I see.
Copy !req
160. Like I said, I just don't like
talking about myself.
Copy !req
161. Very well. Silence, then.
Copy !req
162. a garrison massacred
by the Viet Cong,
Copy !req
163. who also lost 115 men.
Copy !req
164. Awful, isn't it?
It's so anonymous.
Copy !req
165. What is?
Copy !req
166. They say "115 guerrillas,"
and it means nothing to us.
Copy !req
167. But each one is a man,
and we don't even know who he is,
Copy !req
168. if he loves a woman,
if he has kids,
Copy !req
169. if he prefers movies or plays.
Copy !req
170. We know nothing about them.
All they say is "115 killed."
Copy !req
171. It's like photographs.
They've always fascinated me.
Copy !req
172. You see this frozen image of a guy
with a caption underneath.
Copy !req
173. Maybe he was a coward.
Maybe he was a nice guy.
Copy !req
174. But at the moment it was taken,
Copy !req
175. no one can really say who he was,
what he was thinking about.
Copy !req
176. His wife? His mistress?
Copy !req
177. The past? The future?
Basketball?
Copy !req
178. No one will ever know.
Copy !req
179. That's life for you.
Copy !req
180. That's what makes me sad:
Life is so different from books.
Copy !req
181. I wish it were the same:
Copy !req
182. Clear, logical, organized.
Copy !req
183. Only it isn't.
Copy !req
184. Yes, it is.
Much more than people think.
Copy !req
185. No, Pierrot.
Copy !req
186. For the last time,
my name's Ferdinand.
Copy !req
187. I know, but you can't sing
My friend Ferdinand
Copy !req
188. Yes, you can.
You just have to want to, Marianne.
Copy !req
189. I want to.
Copy !req
190. I'll do anything you want.
Copy !req
191. Me too, Marianne.
Copy !req
192. I'm putting my hand
on your knee.
Copy !req
193. Me too, Marianne.
Copy !req
194. I'm kissing you all over.
Copy !req
195. Me too, Marianne.
Copy !req
196. You're so beautiful, my pet
Copy !req
197. We'll see.
Copy !req
198. Marianne Renoir.
Copy !req
199. On your feet, dead man!
Copy !req
200. - You see? I was right.
- About what?
Copy !req
201. You didn't believe
we'd always be in love.
Copy !req
202. No, I never told you
I'd love you forever.
Copy !req
203. Oh, my love
Copy !req
204. You never promised
to adore me all your life
Copy !req
205. We never exchanged
such promises
Copy !req
206. Knowing me
knowing you
Copy !req
207. We never thought
we'd be caught in love's web
Copy !req
208. Fickle as we were
Copy !req
209. But gradually
without a word between us
Copy !req
210. Bit by bit
Copy !req
211. Feelings arose between
our bodies mingled in delight
Copy !req
212. Then words of love rose
to our naked lips
Copy !req
213. Bit by bit
Copy !req
214. Heaps of words of love
mingled gently with our kisses
Copy !req
215. So many words of love
Copy !req
216. I never thought
I'd always want you
Copy !req
217. Oh, my love
Copy !req
218. We never thought
we could live together
Copy !req
219. And not grow tired
of each other
Copy !req
220. To wake up every morning
Copy !req
221. Surprised to still be
so happy in the same bed
Copy !req
222. And want nothing more
than that ordinary pleasure
Copy !req
223. Of feeling so at ease
with each other
Copy !req
224. But gradually
without a word between us
Copy !req
225. Bit by bit
Copy !req
226. Our feelings bound us tight
in spite of ourselves, never to let go
Copy !req
227. Feelings stronger
than any words of love
Copy !req
228. Known or unknown
Copy !req
229. Feelings so wild and strong
Copy !req
230. That we never thought
were possible before
Copy !req
231. Don't ever promise
to adore me all your life
Copy !req
232. Let's never exchange
such promises
Copy !req
233. Knowing me
knowing you
Copy !req
234. Let's keep the feeling
that this love of ours
Copy !req
235. Is a love with no tomorrow
Copy !req
236. Well, in 60 years, when we're dead,
we'll know if we were always in love.
Copy !req
237. No, I know I love you,
Copy !req
238. but I'm not so sure about you.
Copy !req
239. I do, Marianne.
Copy !req
240. Well, we'll see.
Copy !req
241. Your wife was here this morning.
Copy !req
242. I don't give a damn.
Copy !req
243. That's not all.
Copy !req
244. I said I don't give a damn.
Copy !req
245. - Marianne tells
- Ferdinand
Copy !req
246. - a story
- all mixed up
Copy !req
247. - I knew some people
- like in the Algerian war
Copy !req
248. I'll explain everything
Copy !req
249. wake from a bad dream
Copy !req
250. - Frank had the keys?
- I'll explain everything.
Copy !req
251. - Were you in love with him?
- I'll explain everything.
Copy !req
252. - Did he kiss you?
- I'll explain everything.
Copy !req
253. - A story
- all mixed up
Copy !req
254. - leave in a hurry
- wake from a bad dream
Copy !req
255. - I knew some people
- politics
Copy !req
256. - an organization
- get away
Copy !req
257. gun-running
Copy !req
258. in silence... in silence
Copy !req
259. in silence
Copy !req
260. - It's me... Marianne.
- Did he kiss you?
Copy !req
261. - A story
- all mixed up
Copy !req
262. - I knew some people
- were you in love with him?
Copy !req
263. - Use my apartment
- like in the Algerian war
Copy !req
264. - my brother
- wake from a bad dream
Copy !req
265. leave in a hurry... leave in a hurry
Copy !req
266. - answer
- clobber him
Copy !req
267. - argument
- garage
Copy !req
268. - who is it?
- Down south
Copy !req
269. - get away
- no money
Copy !req
270. It was time to leave
that rotten world anyway.
Copy !req
271. We left Paris
on a one-way street.
Copy !req
272. Recognizing two of her own,
Copy !req
273. the Statue of Liberty
gave us a friendly wave.
Copy !req
274. - Put a tiger in my tank.
- We don't sell tigers.
Copy !req
275. Then just shut up
and fill 'er up, pal.
Copy !req
276. I'll look less suspicious.
Copy !req
277. That'll be 4,900 francs.
Copy !req
278. Check the water and oil, pal.
Copy !req
279. Help me, dope!
Copy !req
280. Shit! Another one!
Copy !req
281. I know a trick from Laurel and Hardy.
Get in the car.
Copy !req
282. - Shame on you! Don't you have money?
- No, sir.
Copy !req
283. Then get a job.
Or don't you want to work?
Copy !req
284. - No, sir, we don't.
- Then how will you pay?
Copy !req
285. Shit! There's one more left.
I'll handle him.
Copy !req
286. I'm calling the police!
Copy !req
287. - Sum total
- it was an adventure film
Copy !req
288. The Crown of Blood
Copy !req
289. - Sum total
- Tender is the Night
Copy !req
290. It was a love story.
Copy !req
291. It was a love story.
Copy !req
292. - Tender is the Night
- It was a love story.
Copy !req
293. We'll find my brother eventually.
Copy !req
294. Just what kind
of smuggling is he in?
Copy !req
295. Oh, some stuff in Africa.
Copy !req
296. Angola, the Congo.
Copy !req
297. I thought he did TV shows
in Monte Carlo.
Copy !req
298. Yeah, that too.
Copy !req
299. We've got to decide
where we're going.
Copy !req
300. We talked about Nice,
then maybe Italy.
Copy !req
301. Our money won't get us to Nice.
We'd better dump the Peugeot.
Copy !req
302. Have you ever
killed a man, Pierrot?
Copy !req
303. My name's Ferdinand.
Why do you ask?
Copy !req
304. Because it's going
to turn your stomach.
Copy !req
305. I wonder
what she told the cops.
Copy !req
306. - Maybe they haven't questioned her yet.
- Don't kid yourself.
Copy !req
307. She told them
every nasty thing she could.
Copy !req
308. With good reason.
Copy !req
309. - Anyway, I feel sorry for her.
- Sorry?
Copy !req
310. Guys like you are always sorry...
Copy !req
311. but always too late.
Copy !req
312. - What are you doing?
- Looking at myself.
Copy !req
313. What do you see?
Copy !req
314. A man about to drive
over a cliff at 60 mph.
Copy !req
315. I see a woman
Copy !req
316. in love with the man
about to drive over a cliff at 60 mph.
Copy !req
317. Then let's have a kiss.
Copy !req
318. The next day
Copy !req
319. - we find the Peugeot
- entering a town in central France
Copy !req
320. - with its tank
- almost empty.
Copy !req
321. - Marianne
- and Ferdinand
Copy !req
322. - stop at a bar
- and order drinks
Copy !req
323. - wondering
- how to pay for them.
Copy !req
324. - Their descriptions are on the radio.
- People eye them warily.
Copy !req
325. - Their descrip... descrip...
- People eye them... eye them warily.
Copy !req
326. The people are:
Copy !req
327. Laszlo Kovacs, student,
Copy !req
328. born on January 25, 1936,
Copy !req
329. in Santo Domingo.
Copy !req
330. Forced to flee
the American invasion.
Copy !req
331. Now living in France
as a political refugee.
Copy !req
332. France... the land of liberty,
equality and brotherhood.
Copy !req
333. Viviane Blassel,
born on March 21, 1943, in Marseilles.
Copy !req
334. I'm 22. I work at the perfume counter
at a department store in Auxerre.
Copy !req
335. Eté, André, born on May 25, 1903,
in Marbouie, Eure-et-Loir.
Copy !req
336. 62.
Copy !req
337. Present occupation: Film extra.
Copy !req
338. Let's tell stories.
The right words may move them.
Copy !req
339. - About what?
- Anything at all.
Copy !req
340. The fall of Constantinople,
or Nicolas de Staël committing suicide.
Copy !req
341. Or William Wilson,
Copy !req
342. who saw his double in the street
and couldn't rest till he'd killed him.
Copy !req
343. When it was done,
he realized he'd killed himself,
Copy !req
344. while his double went on living.
Copy !req
345. Okay. Maybe they'll give us
some money.
Copy !req
346. Marianne, who had the eyes
of both Aucassin and Nicolette,
Copy !req
347. told them about William of Orange's
nephew, the handsome Vivien,
Copy !req
348. who died fighting
30,000 Saracens.
Copy !req
349. Bleeding from
a thousand wounds,
Copy !req
350. he fought on alone,
for he swore not to retreat.
Copy !req
351. Oh, young and gentle nephew,
why this vow so noble yet so mad?
Copy !req
352. Ferdinand started
telling them about Guynemer,
Copy !req
353. but they weren't listening,
Copy !req
354. so he spoke of the summer,
Copy !req
355. and of how lovers long
for the warm evening air.
Copy !req
356. He spoke of man, and the seasons,
and unexpected encounters.
Copy !req
357. But he told them never to ask
which came first, words or things,
Copy !req
358. or what would come next.
Copy !req
359. I feel alive,
and that's all that matters.
Copy !req
360. I've got an idea.
Copy !req
361. We'll fake an accident.
Copy !req
362. The police will think we're dead.
Okay, Pierrot?
Copy !req
363. My name's Ferdinand.
Copy !req
364. All we have to do is burn the car.
They'll think we died in the fire.
Copy !req
365. - Always fire, blood and war!
- Hey, it wasn't my idea! Move it closer.
Copy !req
366. It's gotta look real.
This isn't a movie.
Copy !req
367. Closer! Hurry up!
Copy !req
368. - No matches. Let's go.
- That's okay. Give me the gun.
Copy !req
369. - The same make that killed Kennedy.
- Didn't you know that was me?
Copy !req
370. - Out of the way.
- Wait a minute.
Copy !req
371. Nice little fire.
Copy !req
372. - Know what was in that suitcase?
- No. What?
Copy !req
373. The dollars you were looking for
in the apartment.
Copy !req
374. Bastard!
You did that on purpose.
Copy !req
375. That's right.
Copy !req
376. You know what we could've done
with that money?
Copy !req
377. We could've gone to Chicago,
Las Vegas, Monte Carlo. You bastard!
Copy !req
378. I'd have gone to Florence,
Venice and Athens.
Copy !req
379. Let's go.
Travel broadens the mind.
Copy !req
380. - Chapter Eight.
- A Season in Hell.
Copy !req
381. - Chapter Eight.
- We crossed France
Copy !req
382. - like shadows
- like a mirror
Copy !req
383. - like shadows
- like a mirror
Copy !req
384. I saw the café where Van Gogh
decided to cut off his ear.
Copy !req
385. - You're a liar. What did you see?
- I saw...
Copy !req
386. Look, Pierrot, a Ford Galaxie.
Copy !req
387. My name's Ferdinand.
Yeah, a '62.
Copy !req
388. - Show me you're a man.
- Wait till I finish this.
Copy !req
389. "After covering a good distance,
they came to the Bayorda desert,
Copy !req
390. which they had to cross
to reach Karthoum.
Copy !req
391. 'Darn! Not much shade! '
They grumbled,
Copy !req
392. as they set out
across the scorching sand.
Copy !req
393. 'We'd be better off in the cool shade
of a glass of lager.'"
Copy !req
394. Make up your mind
or I'll hitch a ride alone.
Copy !req
395. All right.
Let's go, daddy-o.
Copy !req
396. A lube job, please.
Copy !req
397. Where are the bathrooms?
Copy !req
398. Come on, Mimi.
Copy !req
399. Hey, kid, how'd you like
to own a car like this?
Copy !req
400. - Sure!
- Well, you never will.
Copy !req
401. Marianne, his jacket.
Copy !req
402. Hey, kid, how'd you like
to earn 10,000 francs?
Copy !req
403. The landscape
rose slowly before us.
Copy !req
404. Countless centuries fled
into the distance, like so many storms.
Copy !req
405. Dump our clothes
while I turn around.
Copy !req
406. Hey, my book!
Copy !req
407. Hurry!
Copy !req
408. - Well?
- Nothing special.
Copy !req
409. They questioned her.
Copy !req
410. She said she saw us
naked together in my bed.
Copy !req
411. You see?
And you called me a liar.
Copy !req
412. Nothing else?
Copy !req
413. You still seem
awfully interested in her.
Copy !req
414. Nothing at all happened.
Copy !req
415. I don't understand.
He's lost his mind.
Copy !req
416. Ditch a woman and she'll say
you've got a screw loose.
Copy !req
417. Men are the same way.
Copy !req
418. True.
Copy !req
419. I don't know why,
but I'm picking up the scent of death.
Copy !req
420. If you miss her, just say so!
Copy !req
421. Cut it out!
You're getting on my nerves!
Copy !req
422. I mean the scent of death
in the countryside, trees,
Copy !req
423. women's faces, cars.
Copy !req
424. We'll be in a hell of a fix without money.
We can't even get to Italy.
Copy !req
425. We'll just stop anywhere.
Copy !req
426. We'll just stop anywhere.
Copy !req
427. And do what all day?
Copy !req
428. No, let's find my brother.
He'll give us tons of dough.
Copy !req
429. Then we'll find ourselves
a high-class hotel and have some fun!
Copy !req
430. - All she thinks about is fun.
- Who are you talking to?
Copy !req
431. The audience.
Copy !req
432. I told you so.
You're already sorry.
Copy !req
433. - You were crazy to do this.
- No, I'm in love.
Copy !req
434. It's the same thing.
Copy !req
435. I've decided never
to fall in love again.
Copy !req
436. It's a disgusting habit.
Copy !req
437. Don't say that.
Copy !req
438. Don't say that.
Copy !req
439. Ten minutes ago, I saw only death.
Now it's just the opposite. Look!
Copy !req
440. The sea, the waves, the sky.
Copy !req
441. Life may be sad,
but it's always beautiful.
Copy !req
442. Suddenly I feel free.
We can do what we want.
Copy !req
443. Right... left... left... right.
Copy !req
444. Look at the fool!
Copy !req
445. He's driving down a straight line
and has to follow it all the way.
Copy !req
446. Oh, yeah? Watch this.
Copy !req
447. Chapter Eight.
Copy !req
448. - A Season in Hell.
- Love must be reinvented.
Copy !req
449. Real life lies elsewhere.
Copy !req
450. Countless centuries fled
into the distance, like so many storms.
Copy !req
451. I held her close
and began to cry.
Copy !req
452. It was our first,
Copy !req
453. our only dream.
Copy !req
454. You coming?
Copy !req
455. Where are we going?
Copy !req
456. To Mystery Island,
like Captain Grant's children.
Copy !req
457. - To do what?
- Nothing. Just exist.
Copy !req
458. - Doesn't sound like much fun.
- That's life.
Copy !req
459. Not at all.
Copy !req
460. It's a good thing
I don't like spinach,
Copy !req
461. because if I did, I'd eat it,
Copy !req
462. and I can't stand the stuff.
Copy !req
463. It's the same with you,
Copy !req
464. only just the opposite.
Copy !req
465. There was a film like that with
Michel Simon, where he fell for this girl—
Copy !req
466. - Well, you wanted to start life over.
- I wasn't being mean.
Copy !req
467. You said we'd see it
through to the end.
Copy !req
468. Yes, the end of the night.
Copy !req
469. Great view of the moon.
Copy !req
470. - Doesn't look too special to me.
- To me it does.
Copy !req
471. I see a man up there.
Copy !req
472. Maybe Leonov,
or that American... White.
Copy !req
473. Yeah, I see him too.
Copy !req
474. But he's not a Russki
or a nephew of Uncle Sam.
Copy !req
475. - I'll tell you who he is.
- Who?
Copy !req
476. The moon's only inhabitant.
Copy !req
477. You know what he's doing?
Getting the hell out.
Copy !req
478. Why?
Copy !req
479. - Look.
- Why?
Copy !req
480. He's fed up.
He was glad to see Leonov land.
Copy !req
481. Someone to talk to
after an eternity alone!
Copy !req
482. But Leonov tried to stuff
his head full of Lenin.
Copy !req
483. So when the American landed,
the guy fled to his camp.
Copy !req
484. But the American right away
crammed a Coke down his throat
Copy !req
485. after making him say thank you first,
so now he's really had it.
Copy !req
486. He's letting the Americans and Russians
shoot it out. He's taking off.
Copy !req
487. - For where?
- Here.
Copy !req
488. Because he thinks you're lovely.
Copy !req
489. He admires you.
Copy !req
490. I think your legs and breasts
are very moving.
Copy !req
491. Fuck me.
Copy !req
492. Chapter Seven.
Copy !req
493. - A poet named after a gun
- Robert Browning
Copy !req
494. - get away
- never
Copy !req
495. - beloved
- as long as I'm me
Copy !req
496. and you're you
Copy !req
497. as long as the universe
will hold us both
Copy !req
498. - I who love you
- and you who reject me
Copy !req
499. - as long as one wants to flee
- it's too much like fate
Copy !req
500. "I've decided to keep a journal...
the urgency to describe in words..."
Copy !req
501. "Human landscapes.
Copy !req
502. Onomatopoeia.
Copy !req
503. The language of poetry
rises from the ruins."
Copy !req
504. "The writer chooses to...
the freedom of others."
Copy !req
505. - Did you get all the books?
- No, but this was on sale.
Copy !req
506. By someone with your name.
Copy !req
507. - Ah, Ferdinand.
- You've heard of him?
Copy !req
508. "I am fire, I am light,
I am a miracle.
Copy !req
509. I no longer hear.
Copy !req
510. I ascend.
Copy !req
511. I pass through the air."
Copy !req
512. It's too much.
Copy !req
513. "I've seen happiness before me.
Copy !req
514. Supernatural emotion!
Copy !req
515. And then...
Copy !req
516. I no longer know anything.
Copy !req
517. I inch my hands forward...
Copy !req
518. and I dare... to the right...
Copy !req
519. I lightly stroke...
Copy !req
520. my fairy's hair...
Copy !req
521. that wonder whom I adore...
Copy !req
522. Virginia."
Copy !req
523. Guignol's Band.
Well, are you coming?
Copy !req
524. "Perfect happiness!
Copy !req
525. Ah, my ecstasy was so intense
Copy !req
526. that I dared not move.
Copy !req
527. Happy to the point of tears,
numb with happiness,
Copy !req
528. I'm all aquiver.
Copy !req
529. Let my heart swell and burn within me.
I myself am flame.
Copy !req
530. I am in space.
I cling to Virginia."
Copy !req
531. Give me that.
Copy !req
532. "You promised me
China and Tibet, Mr. Sosthène.
Copy !req
533. The Sunda Islands, and wonderful
plants with magical powers."
Copy !req
534. Where is all that now?
Copy !req
535. Cham cham cham ratatam.
I caught him in his lies.
Copy !req
536. - What's today?
- Friday.
Copy !req
537. You'll never leave me?
Copy !req
538. Of course I won't.
Copy !req
539. Of course?
Copy !req
540. Yes, of course.
Copy !req
541. Yes, of course.
Copy !req
542. "Poetry is a game
of loser-take-all."
Copy !req
543. What am I to do?
Copy !req
544. I don't know what to do.
Copy !req
545. What am I to do?
Copy !req
546. I don't know what to do.
Copy !req
547. Quiet! I'm writing!
Copy !req
548. "There's the crux of the matter.
Copy !req
549. You're waiting for me.
I'm not there.
Copy !req
550. I arrive.
I come into the room.
Copy !req
551. I only really exist for you
from that moment on.
Copy !req
552. But I existed before that.
I had thoughts.
Copy !req
553. Perhaps I even suffered.
Copy !req
554. So the task is
to show you alive, thinking of me,
Copy !req
555. and to see me at the same time,
alive for that very reason."
Copy !req
556. I'm underlining that.
Copy !req
557. Still thinking about your brother
and that gun business?
Copy !req
558. Why do you look so sad?
Copy !req
559. Because you speak
to me in words,
Copy !req
560. and I look at you with feelings.
Copy !req
561. I can't have
a real conversation with you.
Copy !req
562. You never have ideas,
only feelings.
Copy !req
563. That's not true.
There are ideas inside feelings.
Copy !req
564. Okay. Let's try to have
a serious conversation.
Copy !req
565. You tell me what you like,
what you want,
Copy !req
566. and I'll do the same.
Copy !req
567. Go on. You start.
Copy !req
568. Flowers...
Copy !req
569. animals...
Copy !req
570. the blue of the sky...
Copy !req
571. music.
Copy !req
572. I don't know — everything.
What about you?
Copy !req
573. Ambition...
Copy !req
574. hope...
Copy !req
575. the way things move...
Copy !req
576. accidents.
Copy !req
577. What else?
Well, everything.
Copy !req
578. See?
I was right five years ago.
Copy !req
579. We never understand each other.
Copy !req
580. What am I to do?
Copy !req
581. I don't know what to do.
Copy !req
582. "Sunday.
She opened the... and then...
Copy !req
583. Monday.
I read a lot."
Copy !req
584. How are you, old man?
Copy !req
585. All right.
Copy !req
586. I've got an idea for a novel:
Copy !req
587. Not to write
about people's lives anymore,
Copy !req
588. but only about life — life itself.
Copy !req
589. What lies in between people:
Copy !req
590. Space, sound, and color.
Copy !req
591. I'd like to accomplish that.
Copy !req
592. Joyce gave it a try,
Copy !req
593. but it should be possible
to do better.
Copy !req
594. Here are your books.
Copy !req
595. These aren't the ones.
Copy !req
596. And there's one missing.
I said five.
Copy !req
597. I bought a little 45 rpm.
Look.
Copy !req
598. I said one record for every 50 books.
Music after literature!
Copy !req
599. If you don't like it,
my friend —
Copy !req
600. Little mouse,
it's on the house!
Copy !req
601. What's eating you?
Copy !req
602. I can make up
stupid rhymes too.
Copy !req
603. What's the matter?
Copy !req
604. I'm fed up!
Copy !req
605. I'm sick of the sea,
the sun, the sand!
Copy !req
606. Sick of eating
out of tin cans!
Copy !req
607. Sick of always wearing
the same dress!
Copy !req
608. I want outta here.
Copy !req
609. I want to live.
Copy !req
610. What am I supposed to do?
Copy !req
611. I don't know.
I want to go away.
Copy !req
612. Anyway, I threw away
our money for the winter.
Copy !req
613. Where?
Copy !req
614. In the sea, idiot!
Copy !req
615. You're crazy, Marianne.
Copy !req
616. If you want to get out of here,
we'll need money.
Copy !req
617. Lots of tourists
come over on the boat.
Copy !req
618. We can steal from them.
Copy !req
619. Come on, Pierrot.
Copy !req
620. My name's Ferdinand.
Copy !req
621. Come on. We've played
Jules Verne long enough.
Copy !req
622. Let's go back
to our detective novel,
Copy !req
623. with fast cars and guns
and nightclubs.
Copy !req
624. Come on!
Copy !req
625. Wait for me, Marianne!
Copy !req
626. Does this brother of yours
really exist?
Copy !req
627. It's funny how
you never believe me.
Copy !req
628. Listen...
Copy !req
629. if we find Fred and he gives us dough,
why don't we go to Miami Beach?
Copy !req
630. Deep down you're a coward.
Copy !req
631. "Courage consists in remaining
inside oneself, close to nature,
Copy !req
632. which is oblivious
to our crises."
Copy !req
633. Will you hurry up?
The tourist boat's gonna leave.
Copy !req
634. Wait. I've got an idea.
Copy !req
635. Give me your lipstick.
Copy !req
636. "In the end...
Copy !req
637. the only thing of any interest
Copy !req
638. is the paths people take.
Copy !req
639. The tragic part is that
even when they know
Copy !req
640. where they're going
and who they are,
Copy !req
641. everything is still a mystery."
Copy !req
642. Like the scent of eucalyptus.
Copy !req
643. - That's right.
- You bet it is.
Copy !req
644. "And that mystery,
forever unsolved, is life."
Copy !req
645. - Get a move on, Paul.
- Shut up, Virginia.
Copy !req
646. "We are dead men on parole.
And the trees?"
Copy !req
647. "To earn a little money,
Copy !req
648. we drew for the tourists —
modern-day slaves."
Copy !req
649. Damn! Americans!
Copy !req
650. It's okay.
We'll change our plan.
Copy !req
651. - It's simple.
- What?
Copy !req
652. We'll put on a play.
Maybe they'll give us some dollars.
Copy !req
653. - What play?
- I don't know. Something they'll like.
Copy !req
654. I've got it.
The Vietnam War.
Copy !req
655. "Uncle Sam's nephew
versus Uncle Ho's niece."
Copy !req
656. A little something for the actors.
Copy !req
657. - A dollar!
- Don't worry, Pierrot.
Copy !req
658. Long live Kennedy!
Copy !req
659. I threw them off our trail.
Let's go back.
Copy !req
660. No, I'm going dancing.
Copy !req
661. Come on.
You can go tomorrow.
Copy !req
662. Next chapter: Despair.
Copy !req
663. - I'm staying here.
- Okay. I'll go alone.
Copy !req
664. Hope.
Copy !req
665. You do that.
Copy !req
666. Remembrance of Things Past.
Copy !req
667. I heard there's a dance hall
across the water.
Copy !req
668. I'm going dancing.
Copy !req
669. If we get killed, too bad.
Copy !req
670. They'll catch up with us.
So what?
Copy !req
671. Tuesday I wanted
to buy a record player,
Copy !req
672. but he spends
all our money on books.
Copy !req
673. Oh, I don't really give a damn.
Copy !req
674. But he can't even
understand that.
Copy !req
675. I don't give a damn
about books
Copy !req
676. or records or anything —
even money.
Copy !req
677. I just want to live.
Copy !req
678. But he'll never understand that.
Copy !req
679. To live.
Copy !req
680. My fate line is short as can be
Copy !req
681. My fate line is short as can be
Copy !req
682. My palm is such an ill-fated thing
Copy !req
683. I'm afraid of what tomorrow may bring
Copy !req
684. My fate line, my fate line
Copy !req
685. Darling, what do you think
of my fate line
Copy !req
686. What does it matter
It's fine, just fine
Copy !req
687. Your thigh line
is more in my line
Copy !req
688. My fate line
Copy !req
689. I love to hold it in my lap
Copy !req
690. Your thigh line
Copy !req
691. My fate line
Copy !req
692. It's a feather in my cap
Copy !req
693. Just look at my little fate line
Copy !req
694. Just look at my little fate line
Copy !req
695. Just look at destiny's call
Copy !req
696. So small it's hardly there at all
Copy !req
697. My fate line, my fate line
Copy !req
698. Darling, what do you think
of my fate line
Copy !req
699. What does it matter
It's fine, just fine
Copy !req
700. Give me your hand
and don't say a word
Copy !req
701. Your thigh line
- My fate line
Copy !req
702. It's like a morning bird
Copy !req
703. Your thigh line
- My fate line
Copy !req
704. Frivolous bird, harbinger of fate
Copy !req
705. Such a tiny little fate line
Copy !req
706. Such a tiny little fate line
Copy !req
707. Almost less than nothing
Copy !req
708. Barely a tiny dot in my hand
Copy !req
709. My fate line, my fate line
Copy !req
710. Darling, what do you think
of my fate line
Copy !req
711. What does it matter
It's fine, just fine
Copy !req
712. Every morning
I'm the happiest man
Copy !req
713. Your thigh line
- My fate line
Copy !req
714. A bird is singing in my hand
Copy !req
715. Your thigh-
- line
Copy !req
716. - My fate-
- line
Copy !req
717. Maybe I'm daydreaming.
Copy !req
718. She makes me think of music.
Copy !req
719. Her face.
Copy !req
720. We have come
Copy !req
721. to the age
of man and his double.
Copy !req
722. We no longer need mirrors
to talk to ourselves.
Copy !req
723. When Marianne says,
"It's a fine day,"
Copy !req
724. what's she thinking about?
Copy !req
725. All I have is that image of her
Copy !req
726. saying, "It's a fine day."
Copy !req
727. Nothing else.
Copy !req
728. What good is it
figuring all this out?
Copy !req
729. We are made of dreams,
Copy !req
730. and dreams are made of us.
Copy !req
731. It's a fine day, my love,
Copy !req
732. in dreams, in words and in death.
Copy !req
733. It's a fine day, my love.
It's a fine day
Copy !req
734. in life.
Copy !req
735. - You know what I'm thinking?
- I couldn't care less.
Copy !req
736. Let's not start that again.
Copy !req
737. I said to leave me alone.
Copy !req
738. Besides, I'm not starting again.
I'm continuing.
Copy !req
739. - Shit!
- What?
Copy !req
740. Shit! Shit! Shit!
Copy !req
741. What's the matter?
Copy !req
742. Know what you should
write a novel about?
Copy !req
743. No. What?
Copy !req
744. This guy's strolling around Paris
when suddenly he sees Death.
Copy !req
745. So he promptly heads south
to get away,
Copy !req
746. because he figures
his time hasn't come yet.
Copy !req
747. And then?
Copy !req
748. He drives all night at top speed,
Copy !req
749. and the next morning,
when he reaches the coast,
Copy !req
750. he crashes into a truck
and dies,
Copy !req
751. just when he thought
Death had lost his trail.
Copy !req
752. - Let's hurry.
- We've got plenty of time.
Copy !req
753. No, I'm afraid.
Copy !req
754. You stay here.
Copy !req
755. - So we meet again.
- What do you want?
Copy !req
756. - I'll be back in five minutes.
- I'll beat him up if you want.
Copy !req
757. No, I'll get rid of him
with a few lies.
Copy !req
758. I have to find Fred, Pierrot.
Copy !req
759. My name's Ferdinand.
Okay, okay.
Copy !req
760. "... eroticism, in that sense, betrays...
nostalgia for continuity..."
Copy !req
761. - Two beers.
- Two?
Copy !req
762. So when I finish one,
I'll still have one left.
Copy !req
763. Remember me?
Copy !req
764. You stayed at my place
in Fontainebleau last year.
Copy !req
765. I lent you 100,000 francs.
Copy !req
766. - You slept with my wife.
- Oh, right.
Copy !req
767. - So you've come south?
- Yes, to the coast here.
Copy !req
768. - Everything okay?
- Fine.
Copy !req
769. Mr. Griffon?
Copy !req
770. My name's Ferdinand.
Yes, it's me.
Copy !req
771. I'm scared.
Copy !req
772. They're out of their minds.
Copy !req
773. I swear this isn't a joke.
Copy !req
774. Tell me where
the money is or else.
Copy !req
775. We'll give you electric shocks,
Copy !req
776. like they did during the war.
Copy !req
777. Or else...
Copy !req
778. like in Vietnam...
Copy !req
779. we'll strip you...
Copy !req
780. put you in a bathtub
full of napalm...
Copy !req
781. and set it on fire.
Copy !req
782. No, right now.
Copy !req
783. You can caress me all over.
I'll be nice again.
Copy !req
784. Then come quick.
Copy !req
785. We'll walk up.
Copy !req
786. A glorious death for a little man.
Copy !req
787. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
788. I heard a noise.
I live downstairs.
Copy !req
789. Let him have it.
Copy !req
790. We'll use that trick of yours.
Copy !req
791. You can't fight us, kid.
Copy !req
792. What'd you do with the money
in the Peugeot?
Copy !req
793. Take him in the bathroom
and use that trick you learned.
Copy !req
794. We can't forget about the yacht.
Copy !req
795. There aren't any towels.
Copy !req
796. Use that little whore's dress.
Copy !req
797. Just cover his head
so the water will cut off the air.
Copy !req
798. I'll make this easy
and tell you what I know.
Copy !req
799. Then I want a straight answer
to one question.
Copy !req
800. I know your name
is Ferdinand Griffon.
Copy !req
801. You were with Marianne
when she stabbed our friend Donovan,
Copy !req
802. and you ran off with my $50,000.
Copy !req
803. Ploom ploom tra-la-la.
Copy !req
804. I've got nothing
against you personally.
Copy !req
805. I'm sure she dragged you into this.
That's your business.
Copy !req
806. As I was saying...
Copy !req
807. I'm not interested in you.
It's her I want.
Copy !req
808. Now, tell me where to find her
and the money.
Copy !req
809. This is your last chance.
Tell me or we kill you.
Copy !req
810. Ploom ploom tra-la-la.
Copy !req
811. The Marquise dance hall.
Copy !req
812. Maybe it's true, maybe not,
Copy !req
813. but this chump's
not gonna say any more.
Copy !req
814. We'll go have a look.
Copy !req
815. The Marquise dance hall.
Copy !req
816. We'll go have a look.
Copy !req
817. "I've never understood...
Marianne's loyalty."
Copy !req
818. What a dreadful
5:00 in the afternoon.
Copy !req
819. I don't want to see blood.
Copy !req
820. What a dreadful
5:00 in the afternoon.
Copy !req
821. I don't want to see blood.
Copy !req
822. I don't want to see blood.
Copy !req
823. What a dreadful
5:00 in the afternoon.
Copy !req
824. - Next we find Ferdinand arriving in...
- Toulon.
Copy !req
825. He wanders along the waterfront.
He's staying...
Copy !req
826. at the Little Palace Hotel.
Copy !req
827. - He looks for
- Marianne
Copy !req
828. but he doesn't find her.
The days go by.
Copy !req
829. Some afternoons,
he sleeps in all-day movies.
Copy !req
830. He still keeps a diary.
Copy !req
831. For words have the power
to disperse the shadows
Copy !req
832. from around the objects they name.
Copy !req
833. Even if it's compromised
in everyday life,
Copy !req
834. language often retains
only what is pure.
Copy !req
835. "Sea"
Copy !req
836. "soul"
Copy !req
837. "bitter"
Copy !req
838. "weapon"
Copy !req
839. In Vietnam, the Da Nang base,
a major US stronghold,
Copy !req
840. was attacked by the Viet Cong.
Copy !req
841. Seven planes were destroyed
on the ground.
Copy !req
842. In the jungle,
Copy !req
843. US soldiers fought side by side
for the first time
Copy !req
844. with South Vietnamese
and Australian forces
Copy !req
845. against Viet Cong guerilla units.
Copy !req
846. Despite this escalation, and the failure
of the Commonwealth peace mission,
Copy !req
847. Harold Wilson stands ready
to participate in negotiations.
Copy !req
848. Your story ends there.
Copy !req
849. Yes, he turned away...
Copy !req
850. leaving me bewildered.
Copy !req
851. We were looking carefully
Copy !req
852. for the moment when we had
abandoned the fictional character
Copy !req
853. to return to the real one,
if it ever existed.
Copy !req
854. I am Princess Aïcha Abadie,
Copy !req
855. and despite my fragile,
doll-like appearance,
Copy !req
856. I am a very
strong-minded woman.
Copy !req
857. I don't like people getting in my way.
I want to be obeyed.
Copy !req
858. Your orders, Princess?
Copy !req
859. I am Lebanese by adoption.
Copy !req
860. In 1960 I married Emir Abadie,
Copy !req
861. and I am queen of Lebanon in exile,
Copy !req
862. for, as you know, my country
is currently a socialist republic.
Copy !req
863. I am therefore
in Nice incognito,
Copy !req
864. as my husband and I
have terrible enemies.
Copy !req
865. There's a price
on our heads in Lebanon.
Copy !req
866. I'm often the target
of machine-gun fire,
Copy !req
867. which always misses me,
no doubt due to Allah's protection,
Copy !req
868. because to marry the emir,
I had to convert to Islam.
Copy !req
869. I've flown to Beirut twice
in my husband's space machine,
Copy !req
870. and the marabout of Atla —
Copy !req
871. Alexis, don't let me go flying off.
Copy !req
872. The sea is choppy,
and you know how light I am.
Copy !req
873. Help me, Ferdinand.
Copy !req
874. Ferdinand,
we weigh anchor in an hour.
Copy !req
875. Yes, Princess.
Copy !req
876. Alexis, we're going into town.
Copy !req
877. Pierrot!
Copy !req
878. It's me.
Copy !req
879. My name's Ferdinand.
Copy !req
880. Hi.
Copy !req
881. You don't seem
too surprised to see me.
Copy !req
882. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
883. I'm so happy.
I've found you at last.
Copy !req
884. - Where are you staying?
- With you, you idiot!
Copy !req
885. I'm staying with you.
I've looked all over for you.
Copy !req
886. You should have waited
after you called me.
Copy !req
887. I wanted to.
Copy !req
888. I got away
before those men arrived.
Copy !req
889. I ran to the dance hall
to warn you not to come,
Copy !req
890. but I didn't see you,
Copy !req
891. so I went back, and I saw
those men getting into the blue Ford.
Copy !req
892. I thought they'd killed you.
Copy !req
893. So I took off.
I didn't care where.
Copy !req
894. I don't even remember where.
I was afraid to come back to the coast.
Copy !req
895. Then one day I ran into Fred
in a bar in Toulon.
Copy !req
896. It's true.
The Las Vegas bar, in Toulon.
Copy !req
897. - How'd you know I was working here?
- That was by chance too.
Copy !req
898. It's true.
Copy !req
899. I believe you, liar.
Copy !req
900. Why don't you ever believe
that I love you?
Copy !req
901. I love you in my own way.
Copy !req
902. That's just it.
Copy !req
903. I'll prove it. Look.
Copy !req
904. I went back to our beach
and got your notebook.
Copy !req
905. Thanks.
Copy !req
906. Look on the last page.
Copy !req
907. There's a little poem
I wrote about you.
Copy !req
908. "Tender and cruel...
Copy !req
909. real and surreal...
Copy !req
910. terrifying and funny...
Copy !req
911. nocturnal and diurnal...
Copy !req
912. usual and unusual...
Copy !req
913. - handsome as anything.
- Crazy Pierrot!"
Copy !req
914. I told you my name's Ferdinand,
goddamn it!
Copy !req
915. If you think you're tough
saying "goddamn it," you're wrong.
Copy !req
916. God can go to —
Copy !req
917. Don't talk like that.
Copy !req
918. You should talk.
Copy !req
919. We're wanted for murder.
You know what murder is?
Copy !req
920. Sure. What about it?
Does it scare you?
Copy !req
921. Answer me.
Copy !req
922. I look at you and listen to you,
but that's not what counts.
Copy !req
923. Thanks a lot.
Copy !req
924. No, I mean this very moment —
which is already past.
Copy !req
925. Oh, I don't know. It's the blue
of the sky, our relationship.
Copy !req
926. I don't get it.
Copy !req
927. I wish time would stand still.
Copy !req
928. Look. I'm putting my hand
on your knee.
Copy !req
929. That's a wonderful thing in itself.
That's life.
Copy !req
930. Space, feelings.
Copy !req
931. But instead I'm following you
back to our tale of sound and fury.
Copy !req
932. - But I don't care.
- Are you coming? Fred's waiting.
Copy !req
933. Forget I said anything.
Let's go, daddy-o.
Copy !req
934. I wonder what's keeping the cops.
We should be in jail by now.
Copy !req
935. They're smart.
They let people destroy themselves.
Copy !req
936. Why do you do things like that?
Copy !req
937. I tell you I didn't kill him.
Copy !req
938. It's funny we're still alive
after that parade of corpses.
Copy !req
939. - Yeah — ho ho ho.
- Looks like Pépé le Moko around here.
Copy !req
940. Who?
Copy !req
941. - Pépé le Moko.
- Who's that?
Copy !req
942. You sure don't know much.
Copy !req
943. What about you?
You know what you are?
Copy !req
944. I'm a man with sexual desires.
Copy !req
945. Says you!
Copy !req
946. I know who you are,
but you don't.
Copy !req
947. It's true.
Copy !req
948. I'm just a huge question mark
hanging over the Mediterranean horizon.
Copy !req
949. "... their truth...
independent of us... our logic..."
Copy !req
950. Are your parents still alive?
Copy !req
951. Yes. They've never been apart.
Copy !req
952. They were almost
separated once.
Copy !req
953. Papa was leaving on a trip.
I can't remember where.
Copy !req
954. Some short trip.
Copy !req
955. They didn't have
money for two tickets.
Copy !req
956. Mama went with him
to the bus stop,
Copy !req
957. and they looked at each other,
Copy !req
958. Mama from the sidewalk,
Papa from the window.
Copy !req
959. Just as the bus started up,
Papa dashed to get off.
Copy !req
960. He didn't want to leave Mama.
Copy !req
961. While he got off in front,
she was getting on in back,
Copy !req
962. because she didn't want
to leave his side.
Copy !req
963. In the end, he didn't go.
Copy !req
964. What did you do
when you worked in an elevator?
Copy !req
965. Nothing.
I looked at people's faces.
Copy !req
966. - Where was that?
- The Galeries Lafayette.
Copy !req
967. Why all these questions?
Copy !req
968. I want to know
exactly who you are.
Copy !req
969. I never knew,
not even five years ago.
Copy !req
970. I'm just a sentimental girl,
that's all.
Copy !req
971. Only a fool would make
a big mystery out of that.
Copy !req
972. What's your brother do?
Copy !req
973. I never know
when you're making things up.
Copy !req
974. Oh, you know —
Copy !req
975. What was he doing
in Tel Aviv?
Copy !req
976. There's a war
going on in Yemen.
Copy !req
977. You're really out of touch.
Copy !req
978. He gets money
from the Royalists.
Copy !req
979. Are those other men
with the Arab League?
Copy !req
980. I don't know. Probably.
Copy !req
981. Is there really
a troupe of dancers?
Copy !req
982. What do you care?
Copy !req
983. Why does he need a cover?
Copy !req
984. Gun-running's practically
official business these days.
Copy !req
985. - What do you care?
- Answer me.
Copy !req
986. I'll tell you something.
Copy !req
987. There are 3,600 seconds
in an hour.
Copy !req
988. That makes
about 100,000 seconds in a day.
Copy !req
989. In an average lifetime,
that makes...
Copy !req
990. 250 billion seconds.
Copy !req
991. All in all, you and I have spent
about one month together.
Copy !req
992. Add it up. I've only been
with you a few million seconds
Copy !req
993. out of the 250 billion
that make up your life.
Copy !req
994. It's not much.
Copy !req
995. So I'm not surprised
Copy !req
996. we don't know
who each other is.
Copy !req
997. 5, 6, 7, 8.
Copy !req
998. You made it!
Copy !req
999. - Will he do it?
- Yeah, anything I say.
Copy !req
1000. What a crazy set-up
Copy !req
1001. 6, 7, 8!
Copy !req
1002. "To see clearly... reason... life."
Copy !req
1003. What am I supposed to do?
Copy !req
1004. Just do as you're told.
Copy !req
1005. Keep your eyes and ears open
and you'll see.
Copy !req
1006. Remember
the scent of eucalyptus?
Copy !req
1007. - With you it's always so complicated.
- No, it's simple.
Copy !req
1008. Too much going on.
Copy !req
1009. There's a little harbor,
like in a Conrad novel.
Copy !req
1010. A sailboat,
like in Robert Louis Stevenson.
Copy !req
1011. An old brothel, like in Faulkner.
Copy !req
1012. A steward turned multimillionaire,
Copy !req
1013. like in Jack London.
Copy !req
1014. - With you it's always so complicated.
- No, it's simple.
Copy !req
1015. Too much going on.
Copy !req
1016. Two guys beat me up,
like in Raymond Chandler.
Copy !req
1017. You and me and him —
see how simple it is?
Copy !req
1018. No, I don't see.
Copy !req
1019. - They want to
- buy the yacht.
Copy !req
1020. - The old man
- isn't French.
Copy !req
1021. - My brother
- collects the money.
Copy !req
1022. - The others
- don't know.
Copy !req
1023. - They'll be
- furious.
Copy !req
1024. They'll tail Fred.
We'll get rid of them.
Copy !req
1025. - And then?
- Just do as you're told.
Copy !req
1026. A woman can kill
lots of people easy.
Copy !req
1027. Full breasts and soft thighs
don't mean
Copy !req
1028. she can't kill everyone
to remain free or protect herself.
Copy !req
1029. Just look at Cuba
or Vietnam or Israel.
Copy !req
1030. - I love you!
- Me too!
Copy !req
1031. Next chapter: Despair.
Copy !req
1032. Next chapter:
Copy !req
1033. Freedom... Bitterness.
Copy !req
1034. Seen a young woman around
Copy !req
1035. like a Hollywood
movie star in Technicolor?
Copy !req
1036. None of your business.
Copy !req
1037. You got it?
Copy !req
1038. We all meet tonight as planned?
Copy !req
1039. Some people saw me.
Copy !req
1040. I don't understand.
Copy !req
1041. Fred will look innocent now.
Copy !req
1042. Why are you double-crossing me?
Copy !req
1043. What's the matter?
Copy !req
1044. Nothing. Just looking
at a woman who's tormenting me.
Copy !req
1045. $50,000 would make
anyone nervous, Pierrot.
Copy !req
1046. My name's Ferdinand.
Copy !req
1047. - Why did you kiss me earlier?
- I felt like it.
Copy !req
1048. - Kiss me again.
- Not in front of everyone.
Copy !req
1049. Why do you wear
such tight pants?
Copy !req
1050. Listen. If you don't like it,
go back to Paris.
Copy !req
1051. Kiss me.
Copy !req
1052. Okay, I get it.
Copy !req
1053. You know, it's bad luck
to double-cross us.
Copy !req
1054. Speak Not, Cassandra.
Copy !req
1055. - What?
- It's the title of this novel.
Copy !req
1056. Stupid jerk.
Copy !req
1057. Hey!
Copy !req
1058. - Marianne!
- What?
Copy !req
1059. TWA, Nice airport, the 2:45 to Tahiti.
We just climb aboard.
Copy !req
1060. Just the two of us, obviously.
Copy !req
1061. Obviously.
Copy !req
1062. Obviously.
Copy !req
1063. French is funny.
Copy !req
1064. Words say the opposite
of what they mean.
Copy !req
1065. We say "obviously"
when things aren't obvious at all.
Copy !req
1066. Like it wasn't obvious
that I'd find the old man
Copy !req
1067. with a bullet-hole in his forehead.
Copy !req
1068. Did you know
your brother would kill him?
Copy !req
1069. It was none of my business.
Copy !req
1070. I'd like to run off with you,
Copy !req
1071. but Fred will find us
and get even.
Copy !req
1072. I saw him get even
with a girl once.
Copy !req
1073. I'll protect you.
Copy !req
1074. Okay. But I have to go alone
or they'll suspect.
Copy !req
1075. Okay, my beautiful.
Copy !req
1076. Okay, my handsome.
Copy !req
1077. Well, I'm off, since we have
nothing more to say.
Copy !req
1078. Meet me in half an hour.
Copy !req
1079. I'll count to...
Copy !req
1080. 137.
Copy !req
1081. You're really crazy.
Copy !req
1082. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...
Copy !req
1083. The briefcase!
Copy !req
1084. Start the car.
Trust me and I'll trust you.
Copy !req
1085. 18, 19, 20, 21, 22...
Copy !req
1086. Something wrong, pal?
Copy !req
1087. It's that tune.
Copy !req
1088. You have no idea
what it means to me.
Copy !req
1089. You hear it?
Copy !req
1090. No, I don't hear anything.
Copy !req
1091. You wouldn't understand.
Copy !req
1092. That tune's my whole life.
Copy !req
1093. When I hear it, it just —
Copy !req
1094. One day I was home.
It was playing on the radio.
Copy !req
1095. She sat beside me,
this magnificent, beautiful woman.
Copy !req
1096. I took her hand
Copy !req
1097. and stroked the back of it,
like this.
Copy !req
1098. I asked her...
Do you love me
Copy !req
1099. She said no.
Copy !req
1100. So I bought the record,
because that music just —
Copy !req
1101. Like my own private case
of mass hysteria.
Copy !req
1102. One day at home,
I put on the record.
Copy !req
1103. It went around and around
Copy !req
1104. in my head!
Everything was spinning!
Copy !req
1105. She was beside me —
a different woman.
Copy !req
1106. Not as pretty as the first...
Copy !req
1107. but anyway,
I took her hand
Copy !req
1108. and stroked it on the other side
this time, just for a change.
Copy !req
1109. I asked...
Do you love me
Copy !req
1110. And she said, "Oh, I do!"
Copy !req
1111. But I didn't love her,
so I broke the record!
Copy !req
1112. One day I turned on the radio,
and it was playing.
Copy !req
1113. Why that song?
Why not something else?
Copy !req
1114. She was beside me — no, other side,
'cause we were at her place.
Copy !req
1115. This was a third woman.
Copy !req
1116. I took her hand and stroked it —
on both sides, just to be done with it.
Copy !req
1117. It was getting on my nerves.
Copy !req
1118. I asked...
Do you love me
Copy !req
1119. She said yes.
Copy !req
1120. I asked,
"Will you give me your hand?"
Copy !req
1121. She said, " You've been
holding it for ten minutes."
Copy !req
1122. And she was right.
Copy !req
1123. So I kept her and her hand
for ten years!
Copy !req
1124. Ten years!
I can't stand that song anymore!
Copy !req
1125. You hear it?
Copy !req
1126. I can't stand it anymore.
You hear it?
Copy !req
1127. That one, right there —
you don't hear it?
Copy !req
1128. Tell me: Am I crazy?
Come right out and say it!
Copy !req
1129. I want to hear you say it.
Say, "You're crazy!"
Copy !req
1130. - You're crazy.
- That's more like it.
Copy !req
1131. - Going to the island?
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
1132. - What's your boat called?
- The Sawonga.
Copy !req
1133. Just Sawonga's you get me there!
Copy !req
1134. So that song I hear isn't real?
Copy !req
1135. That music
that's haunted me all my life?
Copy !req
1136. That tenderness?
No! Insensitive man!
Copy !req
1137. You missed the whole point!
Copy !req
1138. Do you love me
Copy !req
1139. I held her close
and began to cry.
Copy !req
1140. It was our first,
our only dream.
Copy !req
1141. Get me Paris, please.
Copy !req
1142. BALzac 75-02.
Copy !req
1143. You've forgotten Balzac too?
Copy !req
1144. Yes, I'll wait.
Copy !req
1145. It hurts.
Copy !req
1146. You shouldn't have done it.
Copy !req
1147. You shouldn't have done it.
Copy !req
1148. Forgive me, Pierrot.
Copy !req
1149. My name's Ferdinand.
Copy !req
1150. It's too late.
Copy !req
1151. "... dynamite, machine guns...
supply the rebels..."
Copy !req
1152. Yes, I'll wait.
Copy !req
1153. BALzac 75-02?
Copy !req
1154. Is Mrs. Griffon there?
Copy !req
1155. Who's this?
Copy !req
1156. Is that you, Odile?
Copy !req
1157. How are the children?
Copy !req
1158. No, no. Nobody's calling.
Copy !req
1159. "Art... death"
Copy !req
1160. What I wanted to say —
Copy !req
1161. What's the point?
Copy !req
1162. What an idiot! Shit!
A glorious death —
Copy !req
1163. - It's ours again.
- What is?
Copy !req
1164. - Eternity.
- That's just the sea, gone...
Copy !req
1165. With the sun.
