00:00:08,913 --> 00:00:13,612
STOLEN KISSES

2
00:00:15,710 --> 00:00:17,974
DEDICATED TO HENRI LANGLOIS'
CINÉMATHÈQUE FRANÇAISE

3
00:00:18,007 --> 00:00:21,443
<i>Tonight the wind knocking at my door</i>

4
00:00:21,645 --> 00:00:23,909
<i>Speaks of love that is no more</i>

5
00:00:24,039 --> 00:00:26,473
<i>While the fire's embers fade</i>

6
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,656
<i>Tonight a song of autumn quivers</i>

7
00:00:30,932 --> 00:00:34,026
<i>As the house around me shivers</i>

8
00:00:34,730 --> 00:00:36,960
<i>And I think of long-gone days</i>

9
00:00:40,186 --> 00:00:44,145
<i>What's left of loves that we once knew</i>

10
00:00:44,366 --> 00:00:48,200
<i>Of lovely days when romance was new</i>

11
00:00:48,356 --> 00:00:51,587
<i>Some photographs of days long past</i>

12
00:00:51,930 --> 00:00:55,195
<i>Nothing but these</i>

13
00:00:55,536 --> 00:00:59,131
<i>What's left of letters
splashed with perfume</i>

14
00:00:59,493 --> 00:01:02,951
<i>Breathless encounters and April's bloom</i>

15
00:01:03,322 --> 00:01:07,258
<i>Where can my heart find haven from</i>

16
00:01:07,758 --> 00:01:09,316
<i>These memories</i>

17
00:01:10,790 --> 00:01:14,226
<i>Long flowing tresses
blown in the breeze</i>

18
00:01:14,779 --> 00:01:18,408
<i>Stolen kisses, passionate dreams</i>

19
00:01:18,671 --> 00:01:22,038
<i>What's left of all these things</i>

20
00:01:22,597 --> 00:01:24,360
<i>Tell me, please</i>

21
00:01:26,012 --> 00:01:29,504
<i>A little village, love's hiding place</i>

22
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,789
<i>A rustic landscape in spring's embrace</i>

23
00:01:34,086 --> 00:01:37,920
<i>And in the wisps of passing clouds</i>

24
00:01:38,138 --> 00:01:40,834
<i>Youth's vanished face</i>

25
00:02:00,157 --> 00:02:02,352
<i>What time is it?</i>

26
00:02:02,427 --> 00:02:03,954
<i>Ten to 4:00.</i>

27
00:02:04,114 --> 00:02:06,309
<i>What about now?</i>

28
00:02:06,476 --> 00:02:07,943
Nine to 4:00.

29
00:02:08,102 --> 00:02:10,627
<i>Try a roll of cotton wrapped in burlap.</i>

30
00:02:10,943 --> 00:02:13,207
<i>What time is it now?</i>

31
00:02:13,496 --> 00:02:15,157
<i>Eight to 4:00.</i>

32
00:02:15,666 --> 00:02:18,794
<i>I'm here for Doinel.
THE LILY IN THE VALLEY</i>

33
00:02:18,830 --> 00:02:20,698
<i>- Which of you is Doinel?
- I am. Why?</i>

34
00:02:20,776 --> 00:02:22,268
<i>Come here.</i>

35
00:02:22,336 --> 00:02:26,136
<i>- Can I take a leak?
- Not until 6:00.</i>

36
00:02:26,269 --> 00:02:28,594
<i>Filthy stinking bastard!</i>

37
00:02:28,690 --> 00:02:30,455
You shouldn't have beaten up
that guard last week.

38
00:02:30,569 --> 00:02:33,231
<i>- Doinel, take a leak for us!
- All right.</i>

39
00:02:33,317 --> 00:02:35,310
<i>- Get laid for us!
- Will do!</i>

40
00:02:35,451 --> 00:02:36,841
<i>- At 5:00!
- On the dot!</i>

41
00:02:36,951 --> 00:02:39,112
<i>We'll be thinking of you at 5:00!</i>

42
00:02:39,289 --> 00:02:41,182
<i>An antipersonnel mine is smaller
than an antitank mine.</i>

43
00:02:41,323 --> 00:02:43,621
<i>When it explodes...</i>

44
00:02:43,748 --> 00:02:45,511
Wait here.

45
00:02:46,747 --> 00:02:49,580
<i>...but it has no effect
on an armored vehicle.</i>

46
00:02:50,226 --> 00:02:52,786
- What is it?
- Private Doinel is here.

47
00:02:53,417 --> 00:02:55,180
Just a minute.

48
00:02:57,375 --> 00:02:58,865
Now...

49
00:02:59,417 --> 00:03:03,183
you probe the ground
with your bayonet,

50
00:03:03,629 --> 00:03:08,123
and you say,
"What's this? I feel something hard."

51
00:03:08,293 --> 00:03:12,254
Just like your girlfriend says
when you're home on leave, right?

52
00:03:12,373 --> 00:03:16,173
Dismantling mines
is like handling broads:

53
00:03:16,234 --> 00:03:19,067
You have to go slowly.

54
00:03:19,174 --> 00:03:22,566
You don't put your hand
on a girl's ass right away, do you?

55
00:03:22,713 --> 00:03:24,681
You work your way around to it.

56
00:03:24,759 --> 00:03:27,560
It's the same way
with antitank mines.

57
00:03:28,073 --> 00:03:31,065
Good. Examine this until I return.

58
00:03:35,828 --> 00:03:38,661
So that's it.

59
00:03:38,804 --> 00:03:42,165
Good for you.
And even better for us, I might add.

60
00:03:42,433 --> 00:03:45,368
For the general good,
some individuals shouldn't be allowed

61
00:03:45,465 --> 00:03:48,434
to clutter up the army.

62
00:03:49,614 --> 00:03:51,445
Here's your record.

63
00:03:51,593 --> 00:03:54,562
"Private Antoine Doinel,
enlisted for three years,

64
00:03:54,656 --> 00:03:59,559
is hereby discharged
as temperamentally unfit for service."

65
00:04:00,814 --> 00:04:02,782
Some guys don't like the army.

66
00:04:02,962 --> 00:04:05,725
They're drafted, they serve,
and they're out.

67
00:04:05,856 --> 00:04:09,292
But they don't enlist.
Why did you join up?

68
00:04:10,261 --> 00:04:13,822
I had personal reasons.

69
00:04:14,090 --> 00:04:16,217
On account of some girl, no doubt.

70
00:04:16,396 --> 00:04:18,528
It's a disgrace.
The army is not an escape.

71
00:04:19,164 --> 00:04:22,133
Of course you've spent
your enlistment bonus.

72
00:04:22,195 --> 00:04:24,356
They should make you pay it back.

73
00:04:24,652 --> 00:04:26,643
If it were up to me...

74
00:04:26,731 --> 00:04:29,122
You've probably
got Communist connections.

75
00:04:29,727 --> 00:04:31,558
Those guys run everything these days.

76
00:04:31,646 --> 00:04:33,241
But never mind that.

77
00:04:33,907 --> 00:04:37,001
Assigned to Vidauban, went AWOL.

78
00:04:37,195 --> 00:04:40,494
Strasbourg, AWOL.

79
00:04:40,581 --> 00:04:44,076
Dupleix, AWOL.

80
00:04:44,187 --> 00:04:45,679
You're always AWOL.

81
00:04:46,449 --> 00:04:50,044
You're like a dog that goes anywhere
but where it's called.

82
00:04:50,533 --> 00:04:52,731
On top of that,
you got your civvies stolen.

83
00:04:52,899 --> 00:04:55,529
You must return that uniform
within 30 days!

84
00:04:56,213 --> 00:04:58,811
Your honorable discharge
was turned down

85
00:04:58,958 --> 00:05:01,654
by the general himself.

86
00:05:02,691 --> 00:05:05,057
You know that
without an honorable discharge,

87
00:05:05,121 --> 00:05:07,890
you can't get a job
with the civil service

88
00:05:07,925 --> 00:05:10,621
or any respectable private firm.

89
00:05:11,371 --> 00:05:13,739
You can always peddle
neckties in the street,

90
00:05:13,897 --> 00:05:16,493
though God knows
you'll never need one yourself.

91
00:05:17,051 --> 00:05:18,780
That's all.

92
00:05:18,975 --> 00:05:21,335
Good luck.
Here's hoping we never see you again.

93
00:05:21,551 --> 00:05:23,781
Dismissed.

94
00:06:07,823 --> 00:06:10,656
Where are you going?
Pay for the room first.

95
00:06:10,951 --> 00:06:12,680
Eight francs.

96
00:06:14,365 --> 00:06:16,893
Ginette got picked up again.

97
00:06:16,982 --> 00:06:18,472
Leave her a tip.

98
00:06:18,609 --> 00:06:20,600
Third time since Monday.

99
00:06:20,747 --> 00:06:22,877
Someone should take her
some sandwiches at the station.

100
00:06:22,950 --> 00:06:25,441
To hell with her. Count me out.

101
00:06:25,507 --> 00:06:27,375
<i>I can't go. I'm stuck here.</i>

102
00:06:38,171 --> 00:06:40,537
- Not on the mouth.
- Why not?

103
00:06:40,660 --> 00:06:42,525
Not with the customers.

104
00:06:47,841 --> 00:06:50,469
Don't touch my hair.
I just sprayed.

105
00:06:56,169 --> 00:06:59,627
I'm keeping my sweater on.
I'm getting over a cold.

106
00:07:00,828 --> 00:07:02,625
Come here. I'll wash you.

107
00:07:02,775 --> 00:07:04,265
What's the matter?

108
00:07:04,274 --> 00:07:05,969
Forget it.

109
00:07:06,317 --> 00:07:08,310
<i>You can always find me at the Balto.</i>

110
00:07:08,492 --> 00:07:11,555
Ask for Josiane.
If I'm not there, just wait ten minutes.

111
00:07:14,646 --> 00:07:16,810
What about Saturday?

112
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,680
<i>Sure. See you then, big boy.</i>

113
00:07:23,549 --> 00:07:27,007
<i>- Coming in or going out?
- I don't know. I'll follow you.</i>

114
00:07:30,953 --> 00:07:34,550
You're my first soldier today.

115
00:07:34,655 --> 00:07:36,680
You'll bring me good luck.

116
00:07:37,112 --> 00:07:40,013
What branch are you in?
- I was in the artillery.

117
00:07:40,111 --> 00:07:42,045
Great!

118
00:07:42,186 --> 00:07:44,313
I love big guns.

119
00:09:20,314 --> 00:09:22,580
What a surprise! Come in.

120
00:09:22,643 --> 00:09:24,736
Lucien will be surprised to see you.

121
00:09:27,175 --> 00:09:29,439
<i>Look who's here.</i>

122
00:09:30,590 --> 00:09:34,119
- What a pleasure.
- How are you?

123
00:09:34,260 --> 00:09:36,091
Home on leave?

124
00:09:36,238 --> 00:09:38,672
No, I was discharged.
My enlistment was rescinded.

125
00:09:38,791 --> 00:09:41,316
- Have you eaten?
- Please don't bother.

126
00:09:41,439 --> 00:09:43,930
I'm sure you haven't had dinner.
Sit down.

127
00:09:45,684 --> 00:09:48,016
- Christine will be sorry she missed you.
- It doesn't matter.

128
00:09:48,141 --> 00:09:51,238
You're not sick, are you?
Was it a temporary discharge?

129
00:09:51,368 --> 00:09:53,466
No, it's permanent.

130
00:09:53,534 --> 00:09:56,765
"Instability of character."
Applies even in wartime.

131
00:09:57,459 --> 00:09:58,724
Very good. Bravo.

132
00:09:58,895 --> 00:10:00,558
The army!

133
00:10:00,650 --> 00:10:03,118
It's like the theater:
a wonderful anachronism.

134
00:10:05,055 --> 00:10:08,015
We never understood why you enlisted.
You left so abruptly.

135
00:10:08,154 --> 00:10:09,749
Lucien, don't pry.

136
00:10:10,448 --> 00:10:13,315
<i>I got excited after reading
Military Servitude and Greatness.</i>

137
00:10:13,415 --> 00:10:15,406
I actually thought it was like that.

138
00:10:15,744 --> 00:10:17,305
And now?

139
00:10:17,404 --> 00:10:19,065
I suppose you'll look for a job.

140
00:10:19,159 --> 00:10:21,627
Yeah, I'd like to find something.

141
00:10:21,839 --> 00:10:23,500
What about Shapiro?

142
00:10:24,712 --> 00:10:27,237
The Hotel Alsina.

143
00:10:28,445 --> 00:10:31,380
You're right.
I'll call him right now.

144
00:10:31,477 --> 00:10:34,310
A client of mine
has a hotel in Montmartre.

145
00:10:34,413 --> 00:10:37,507
His night clerk died
and he's looking for someone.

146
00:10:37,604 --> 00:10:39,970
Would that be all right?
- Yes, fine.

147
00:10:42,518 --> 00:10:44,748
Of course you were hoping
to see Christine.

148
00:10:45,997 --> 00:10:48,022
It doesn't matter.
I'll call her tomorrow.

149
00:10:48,167 --> 00:10:49,964
She's gone for a week.

150
00:10:50,113 --> 00:10:51,944
She's gone skiing with some friends.

151
00:10:52,092 --> 00:10:54,222
The conservatory is closed, you know.

152
00:10:54,393 --> 00:10:57,888
They replaced the director,
but the students preferred the old one.

153
00:10:58,985 --> 00:11:01,283
So they're boycotting classes.
It's quite a story.

154
00:11:02,814 --> 00:11:04,042
Really?

155
00:11:05,239 --> 00:11:07,730
This might work.
Come talk to Mr. Shapiro.

156
00:11:12,643 --> 00:11:16,079
What did you tell him about Christine?

157
00:11:16,217 --> 00:11:19,118
The truth.
She's gone skiing with friends.

158
00:11:19,217 --> 00:11:20,946
What should I have said?

159
00:11:21,036 --> 00:11:23,061
No, that's fine.

160
00:11:23,589 --> 00:11:27,525
He was very friendly
and said to come over right away.

161
00:11:27,642 --> 00:11:29,769
If you'll excuse me, I better go.

162
00:11:29,939 --> 00:11:32,100
You didn't even finish your cheese.

163
00:11:35,173 --> 00:11:37,200
Being a night clerk has its advantages.

164
00:11:37,379 --> 00:11:39,406
I was one at your age.
Gives you lots of time to read.

165
00:11:39,513 --> 00:11:41,210
<i>Don't be afraid.
Shapiro's a nice guy.</i>

166
00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:43,393
<i>I'll call Christine and tell her
you stopped by.</i>

167
00:12:18,509 --> 00:12:20,238
Hello, Christine.

168
00:12:20,710 --> 00:12:22,234
Evening, Antoine.

169
00:12:22,338 --> 00:12:24,806
I'm very happy to see you again.
You haven't changed.

170
00:12:25,337 --> 00:12:27,362
So you got out?
- Yeah, finally.

171
00:12:27,476 --> 00:12:30,912
That's what my parents said.
You'll have to tell me all about it.

172
00:12:31,145 --> 00:12:35,172
- Did you just get back today?
- Yes, I came over right away.

173
00:12:35,677 --> 00:12:37,269
Are you happy here?

174
00:12:37,369 --> 00:12:39,803
It's not bad. It's quiet.

175
00:12:39,921 --> 00:12:42,856
My parents are afraid you'll catch cold.
They sent you these.

176
00:12:42,953 --> 00:12:46,013
What are they? Vitamins?
That's kind, but--

177
00:12:46,112 --> 00:12:49,138
No, take them right way,
or you'll forget.

178
00:12:49,750 --> 00:12:52,184
Would you like something to drink?

179
00:12:52,303 --> 00:12:53,964
Okay. What do you have?

180
00:12:54,090 --> 00:12:56,788
Whatever you want.
Mineral water, Coca-Cola--

181
00:12:56,994 --> 00:12:58,484
A Coke.

182
00:13:04,748 --> 00:13:08,240
I thought I'd never see you again.
You hadn't written in six months.

183
00:13:09,919 --> 00:13:15,380
Well, I was usually either in prison
or in the infirmary.

184
00:13:15,790 --> 00:13:20,591
Besides, when I first started writing you,
you didn't write back very often.

185
00:13:20,609 --> 00:13:24,568
I did, but you wrote so many,
I couldn't answer them all.

186
00:13:24,661 --> 00:13:28,588
I counted once.
Nineteen letters in one week.

187
00:13:28,682 --> 00:13:31,480
I wondered when
you found the time to write.

188
00:13:31,587 --> 00:13:33,350
Me too.

189
00:13:34,108 --> 00:13:36,872
And they weren't always nice letters.

190
00:13:36,980 --> 00:13:39,710
When's your day off?

191
00:13:40,010 --> 00:13:41,068
Wednesday.

192
00:13:41,192 --> 00:13:43,251
Come to dinner then.
My parents want you to.

193
00:13:43,393 --> 00:13:46,851
Okay. Fine. Great.
See you Wednesday.

194
00:14:20,667 --> 00:14:23,795
- Hasn't Mrs. Colin come down yet?
- I haven't seen anybody.

195
00:14:23,890 --> 00:14:28,520
It can't be.
I was to meet her at 6:00.

196
00:14:28,676 --> 00:14:30,837
She'll make us miss our train
to London.

197
00:14:30,974 --> 00:14:33,568
They won't hold
the boat for us at Calais.

198
00:14:33,686 --> 00:14:37,486
She left a wake-up call, didn't she?
Check the register.

199
00:14:37,580 --> 00:14:40,048
You're hardly awake yourself.
Let me see.

200
00:14:40,547 --> 00:14:43,380
I'll look for myself.
You're all mixed up.

201
00:14:46,164 --> 00:14:48,359
Room 24.

202
00:14:48,493 --> 00:14:50,461
Then let's go.
Better bring your master key.

203
00:14:50,567 --> 00:14:53,868
She takes sleeping pills.

204
00:14:53,919 --> 00:14:56,114
Hurry up. What floor?

205
00:14:56,535 --> 00:14:58,833
What floor?
- Third.

206
00:15:01,034 --> 00:15:03,496
If we miss the train,
we miss the boat,

207
00:15:03,652 --> 00:15:06,052
and we don't make it to London.

208
00:15:09,299 --> 00:15:11,429
- This is it.
- Open the door!

209
00:15:11,502 --> 00:15:14,062
The sleeping pill
will have knocked her out.

210
00:15:15,458 --> 00:15:17,053
Go on!

211
00:15:17,150 --> 00:15:18,708
Julien, what are you doing here?

212
00:15:19,512 --> 00:15:21,742
Your husband? Which one?

213
00:15:22,958 --> 00:15:24,553
This is none of my business!

214
00:15:24,649 --> 00:15:26,583
What are you doing?
You're going too far!

215
00:15:27,904 --> 00:15:30,673
My mother was right.
You're pathetic.

216
00:15:30,809 --> 00:15:31,835
Be reasonable.

217
00:15:31,957 --> 00:15:35,757
Very smart. You should look
in the mirror right now.

218
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,356
No, not like that.
No one can hear that.

219
00:15:40,450 --> 00:15:42,978
That doesn't make any noise.
Here, take this.

220
00:15:43,445 --> 00:15:45,572
Julien, don't! You're crazy!

221
00:15:46,285 --> 00:15:49,379
Not the flowers! The vase!

222
00:15:49,700 --> 00:15:52,100
That's it!

223
00:15:53,848 --> 00:15:57,375
Run and call the police.
He's smashing everything.

224
00:15:59,976 --> 00:16:03,139
<i>- I'm coming.
- Hurry up.</i>

225
00:16:04,347 --> 00:16:08,909
Call the cops.
Tell them it's urgent.

226
00:16:09,134 --> 00:16:12,865
Tell them it's an emergency.
That'll hurry 'em up a bit.

227
00:16:13,219 --> 00:16:15,653
You're doing great.

228
00:16:16,602 --> 00:16:19,537
- Fire department?
- Not the firemen. The cops!

229
00:16:21,260 --> 00:16:24,889
This is for you.
Buy some candy or something.

230
00:16:25,218 --> 00:16:26,685
Is this the police?

231
00:16:26,813 --> 00:16:30,146
I'm calling from the Hotel Alsina.

232
00:16:30,451 --> 00:16:34,080
Something's going on on the third floor.
- They're breaking everything.

233
00:16:34,152 --> 00:16:37,749
- They're breaking everything.
- Don't be afraid.

234
00:16:37,855 --> 00:16:39,755
Good. See you then.

235
00:16:40,152 --> 00:16:42,145
What's going on here?

236
00:16:42,226 --> 00:16:44,888
I don't know.
A man caught his wife by surprise.

237
00:16:45,067 --> 00:16:47,399
The woman in 24
was with the man from 19.

238
00:16:47,524 --> 00:16:49,219
Did you let him in?

239
00:16:49,311 --> 00:16:51,279
Yes, this gentlemen told me to.

240
00:16:51,417 --> 00:16:53,977
I get it -- a private detective.
Clear out.

241
00:16:54,098 --> 00:16:56,032
All right, all right.

242
00:16:56,873 --> 00:16:58,773
And you go with him.

243
00:17:00,991 --> 00:17:03,291
Here's your severance pay

244
00:17:03,352 --> 00:17:04,842
and your Christmas bonus.

245
00:17:11,713 --> 00:17:14,011
<i>Young man!</i>

246
00:17:19,563 --> 00:17:21,431
Sit down.
Can I buy you something?

247
00:17:21,573 --> 00:17:23,871
No, thanks. I just ordered.

248
00:17:25,052 --> 00:17:27,077
- You sure pulled a fast one.
- How so?

249
00:17:27,162 --> 00:17:29,453
You're a private detective.

250
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,753
I've been working for the
Blady Agency for 30 years. You know it?

251
00:17:32,870 --> 00:17:35,065
You must have seen
their advertisement

252
00:17:35,231 --> 00:17:37,358
on the back of the phone book
with the guy like this.

253
00:17:37,466 --> 00:17:39,434
- Oh, yes, I have.
- That's the one.

254
00:17:39,987 --> 00:17:44,048
You didn't notice me,
but I was at the hotel last night.

255
00:17:44,103 --> 00:17:49,541
I was there when Mrs. Colin
and her boyfriend went upstairs.

256
00:17:49,783 --> 00:17:54,220
I knew we'd find 'em in the same bed.
I just had to get proof.

257
00:17:54,602 --> 00:17:57,801
- Why didn't you call the cops?
- They would never have come.

258
00:17:57,985 --> 00:18:01,386
First my client would have to
lodge a complaint with the DA,

259
00:18:01,463 --> 00:18:04,660
who would then have
to notify the police.

260
00:18:04,749 --> 00:18:07,274
So what happens
when the cops get there?

261
00:18:07,399 --> 00:18:09,128
That's the thing.

262
00:18:09,281 --> 00:18:12,739
The cops report that
at such and such a time,

263
00:18:12,823 --> 00:18:16,318
a Mr. Colin entered a hotel room,

264
00:18:16,493 --> 00:18:21,362
where he assaulted two people
sleeping in the same bed,

265
00:18:21,599 --> 00:18:24,193
one of whom just happened to be

266
00:18:24,312 --> 00:18:27,076
the wife of said Mr. Colin.

267
00:18:27,343 --> 00:18:31,839
The cops aren't usually supposed
to handle disturbances at night,

268
00:18:31,970 --> 00:18:36,798
but we managed to get
a nice little proof of adultery anyway.

269
00:18:36,853 --> 00:18:39,344
Not bad.

270
00:18:39,502 --> 00:18:42,903
Nice to chat with you,
but I've got to be going.

271
00:18:46,554 --> 00:18:48,285
I was supposed to make a phone call.

272
00:18:48,373 --> 00:18:51,174
Never mind.
I'll make it from the office.

273
00:18:51,277 --> 00:18:54,144
It's a shame you lost your job
because of all this.

274
00:18:54,469 --> 00:18:56,198
Well, that's life.

275
00:18:56,319 --> 00:18:58,651
After you.
- Thanks.

276
00:21:02,594 --> 00:21:04,619
- Hello, Lucien.
- Hi, Christine.

277
00:21:05,848 --> 00:21:07,475
Mother's not back yet?

278
00:21:07,540 --> 00:21:09,667
No, the trains are on strike.
She'll be home tomorrow.

279
00:21:09,806 --> 00:21:13,472
But there'll still be three for dinner.
Look who's here.

280
00:21:13,507 --> 00:21:16,305
Antoine, how are you?

281
00:21:16,347 --> 00:21:18,679
I expected you on Wednesday.
Aren't you at the hotel anymore?

282
00:21:18,804 --> 00:21:21,366
He got fired.

283
00:21:21,421 --> 00:21:24,222
- So you're looking for a job?
- No, I already found another one.

284
00:21:24,362 --> 00:21:26,596
- What does he do now?
- You'll never guess.

285
00:21:26,654 --> 00:21:29,452
But go ahead and try.
- I don't know.

286
00:21:30,037 --> 00:21:32,972
Selling newspapers?
- Better than that. Come on.

287
00:21:33,484 --> 00:21:35,452
A porter at Orly.
That's not too bad.

288
00:21:36,324 --> 00:21:38,019
No, that takes connections.

289
00:21:38,115 --> 00:21:39,243
Guess again.

290
00:21:39,355 --> 00:21:41,255
- I don't know.
- Use your imagination.

291
00:21:41,398 --> 00:21:44,131
- A painter?
- A dying breed. Doesn't pay.

292
00:21:44,275 --> 00:21:47,906
- A writer?
- No, this pays more.

293
00:21:48,258 --> 00:21:52,251
A water taster? It's a great job.
I saw it on TV.

294
00:21:52,312 --> 00:21:54,512
Too hard to break into.
This is easier.

295
00:21:54,673 --> 00:21:56,368
You drive cabs at night?

296
00:21:57,003 --> 00:21:58,698
It could be related.

297
00:22:01,470 --> 00:22:03,529
- A poet?
- Worse.

298
00:22:03,673 --> 00:22:05,131
- Worse?
- A necktie peddler.

299
00:22:05,236 --> 00:22:06,999
Less intellectual, more dangerous.

300
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,146
- I don't know.
- I said dangerous.

301
00:22:09,224 --> 00:22:10,591
I don't know.

302
00:22:10,693 --> 00:22:13,890
Want some help?
I'll give you a clue.

303
00:22:15,479 --> 00:22:17,106
It involves a revolver?

304
00:22:17,207 --> 00:22:18,597
It's a magnifying glass.

305
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,494
- I can't guess.
- Tell her.

306
00:22:23,553 --> 00:22:25,614
Here's another clue.

307
00:22:25,723 --> 00:22:28,023
- A sheriff?
- Exactly.

308
00:22:28,185 --> 00:22:29,350
See his horse outside?

309
00:22:29,457 --> 00:22:32,426
I'm working for a detective agency.

310
00:22:33,414 --> 00:22:36,406
Meet Antoine Bond of the FBI.

311
00:22:38,999 --> 00:22:41,968
You know the Blady Agency?

312
00:22:42,062 --> 00:22:45,031
Investigations, searches, surveillance.

313
00:22:46,402 --> 00:22:49,362
Congratulations.
You can tell us about it over dinner.

314
00:22:49,402 --> 00:22:51,302
Come give me a hand.

315
00:22:54,986 --> 00:22:58,654
Antoine, I can't stay long.
I'm meeting some friends later.

316
00:22:58,751 --> 00:23:01,213
Do you mind?
- No, not at all.

317
00:23:01,369 --> 00:23:05,171
- Are you sure?
- Absolutely positive.

318
00:23:05,230 --> 00:23:08,156
- Would you tell me if you did mind?
- Certainly not.

319
00:23:08,298 --> 00:23:10,860
But I assure you, I don't mind.

320
00:23:39,981 --> 00:23:43,373
- All right, start singing!
- I'm no canary!

321
00:23:43,496 --> 00:23:44,820
Objection, Your Honor.

322
00:23:44,928 --> 00:23:49,262
Be careful. Anything you say
can be used against you.

323
00:23:52,140 --> 00:23:54,836
Catherine, good work
on the investigation in London.

324
00:23:54,948 --> 00:23:57,746
But did you really need
to order room service for every meal?

325
00:23:57,853 --> 00:24:00,686
You know the London Hilton
is at an angle.

326
00:24:00,788 --> 00:24:04,690
My window was the perfect lookout
to see him coming and going.

327
00:24:05,001 --> 00:24:07,096
Anything new on the case
at the St. Pierre market?

328
00:24:07,171 --> 00:24:08,103
Nothing.

329
00:24:08,255 --> 00:24:10,917
There's no way the salesgirl
could be stealing.

330
00:24:11,032 --> 00:24:14,195
We've tailed her leaving the store
for three weeks.

331
00:24:14,446 --> 00:24:17,643
She can't hide stuff in her coat,
and her bag's too small.

332
00:24:18,275 --> 00:24:21,574
She's no thief. I don't get it.

333
00:24:22,360 --> 00:24:25,659
We'll drop that for now.
I have a hunch about it.

334
00:24:25,870 --> 00:24:28,464
I'm almost sure
her boss is making it all up.

335
00:24:28,583 --> 00:24:32,717
He doesn't think she's a thief.
He's in love with her.

336
00:24:32,895 --> 00:24:35,855
He's looking for some angle
to work himself into her life.

337
00:24:36,465 --> 00:24:38,797
He's smitten with her
and can't tell us the truth.

338
00:24:38,922 --> 00:24:41,857
Like the minister of agriculture
three years ago.

339
00:24:41,954 --> 00:24:44,252
But he came to a bad end.

340
00:24:45,401 --> 00:24:47,995
What "bing bing"?
He hanged himself.

341
00:24:48,209 --> 00:24:50,202
No, he shot himself in the head.

342
00:24:50,383 --> 00:24:55,016
Sorry, but he hanged himself
from a beam at the ministry.

343
00:24:55,038 --> 00:24:58,701
Hanging doesn't spill
your brains all over the floor.

344
00:24:58,739 --> 00:25:00,730
With the belt from his bathrobe.

345
00:25:00,878 --> 00:25:02,709
You always have to have
the last word, Henri.

346
00:25:02,856 --> 00:25:08,717
I was arguing with your father
before you made your first communion.

347
00:25:08,759 --> 00:25:10,351
Doinel, you stay.

348
00:25:10,483 --> 00:25:13,577
My father was patient with you,
but my patience is limited.

349
00:25:13,674 --> 00:25:15,699
Limited is right.
I mean, your patience.

350
00:25:15,844 --> 00:25:18,506
- Mr. Albani is here for his appointment.
- Show him in.

351
00:25:18,939 --> 00:25:22,466
I'll see you in a few minutes.
Wait out here.

352
00:25:24,014 --> 00:25:25,641
Hello.

353
00:25:44,245 --> 00:25:46,338
<i>- Waiting for the boss?
- Yes.</i>

354
00:25:46,416 --> 00:25:48,441
Come sit in here.

355
00:25:53,755 --> 00:25:55,723
It concerns a friend

356
00:25:56,595 --> 00:25:58,586
who was staying with me.

357
00:25:58,733 --> 00:26:02,399
He disappeared a month ago
without leaving an address.

358
00:26:02,404 --> 00:26:07,398
He left clothes and personal items
I'd like to return to him.

359
00:26:07,733 --> 00:26:10,725
So you'd like us
to find out where he is?

360
00:26:11,530 --> 00:26:14,192
But not just that.

361
00:26:14,306 --> 00:26:16,106
I'd like to know about his life:

362
00:26:16,289 --> 00:26:19,352
what he does, who he meets.

363
00:26:20,050 --> 00:26:21,415
I understand.

364
00:26:21,486 --> 00:26:24,216
We'll find his address,

365
00:26:24,327 --> 00:26:27,296
set up surveillance,
and begin an investigation.

366
00:26:28,666 --> 00:26:32,363
It'll cost 300 francs a day.
- Fine.

367
00:26:32,495 --> 00:26:36,829
Do you think it will take long?

368
00:26:36,931 --> 00:26:40,599
That depends on whether
your friend's address--

369
00:26:40,697 --> 00:26:44,155
I mean, this gentleman's address
is easy to find.

370
00:26:44,272 --> 00:26:46,800
What is his profession?

371
00:26:46,856 --> 00:26:48,348
He's a magician in a nightclub.

372
00:26:48,452 --> 00:26:52,445
He does an act with cords
of different colors.

373
00:26:53,462 --> 00:26:56,295
I always do the crossword puzzle
to keep my mind sharp.

374
00:26:56,429 --> 00:26:59,193
Too bad they're so easy.

375
00:27:01,822 --> 00:27:04,052
I'll have a letter
to dictate in a moment.

376
00:27:04,822 --> 00:27:06,881
We'll get started on this right away.

377
00:27:07,088 --> 00:27:08,646
Call me in a few days.

378
00:27:08,716 --> 00:27:10,843
Thank you very much.

379
00:27:14,109 --> 00:27:15,599
Is Doinel there?

380
00:27:15,673 --> 00:27:17,300
<i>Yes, sir.</i>

381
00:27:17,715 --> 00:27:22,175
First, are you sure
you understand yourself?

382
00:27:22,470 --> 00:27:25,030
Because I need to understand you.

383
00:27:25,154 --> 00:27:27,650
Keep in mind we're not the FBI.

384
00:27:27,703 --> 00:27:31,469
We're not under oath, and we never
impersonate a police officer.

385
00:27:31,884 --> 00:27:34,478
We rely on initiative and quick wits.

386
00:27:34,596 --> 00:27:37,121
Our work is 10 % inspiration,
90 % perspiration.

387
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,227
That place serves great
pork and lentils on Thursdays.

388
00:28:12,826 --> 00:28:14,726
- I'm here to see Christine.
- She's out.

389
00:28:14,964 --> 00:28:18,024
No, come in and have something.

390
00:28:43,046 --> 00:28:44,641
Shall I come by tonight?

391
00:28:44,738 --> 00:28:48,335
I said Saturday. If that's not good
enough, let's just call it quits.

392
00:28:48,439 --> 00:28:50,771
No, Saturday's fine.

393
00:29:01,715 --> 00:29:04,946
Why that look?
Is something wrong?

394
00:29:05,384 --> 00:29:09,150
Catherine's impossible. I've never met
a woman who didn't care about marriage.

395
00:29:09,309 --> 00:29:13,507
I've been dating a girl like that
for two years. I know it'll never work.

396
00:29:13,585 --> 00:29:15,416
Why not get yourself a whore?

397
00:29:15,564 --> 00:29:18,192
I can't stand them.
They're all filthy.

398
00:29:18,245 --> 00:29:20,805
When I was your age,
I ate from carts in the street

399
00:29:20,926 --> 00:29:25,260
and slept with slobs who used
safety pins to hold their bra on.

400
00:29:26,829 --> 00:29:30,196
But I can't do that anymore.
Too bad, in a way.

401
00:29:30,307 --> 00:29:32,537
I've got a date
with this really tall girl.

402
00:29:32,637 --> 00:29:35,834
What do you do
when the girl is taller than you?

403
00:29:35,928 --> 00:29:37,557
Nothing special.

404
00:29:37,679 --> 00:29:42,275
But I mean really tall.
Otherwise it can look, you know...

405
00:29:42,338 --> 00:29:44,966
Just look professional.

406
00:30:00,368 --> 00:30:02,962
Did you have a good time
with that girl after all?

407
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,902
At first it was terrible,

408
00:30:06,017 --> 00:30:09,009
but later on it was fantastic!

409
00:30:09,112 --> 00:30:11,776
The walls were shaking!

410
00:30:11,825 --> 00:30:13,952
You see? Listen.

411
00:30:14,505 --> 00:30:17,668
When my grandfather died,
I was very sad,

412
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,194
and my cousin was crying her eyes out.

413
00:30:20,281 --> 00:30:23,414
After the traditional family meal,

414
00:30:23,536 --> 00:30:27,705
she and I went up to the attic, and
I screwed her right there on the floor.

415
00:30:27,876 --> 00:30:31,676
If anyone had caught us,
it would have seemed monstrous.

416
00:30:31,737 --> 00:30:35,232
But making love is a way
of compensating for death.

417
00:30:35,248 --> 00:30:37,443
You need to prove you still exist.

418
00:30:53,309 --> 00:30:55,436
Hello, Antoine.

419
00:30:56,724 --> 00:30:58,421
Christine will be here any minute.

420
00:30:58,511 --> 00:31:01,036
Are you eating with us
or going straight to the movies?

421
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,185
I'm taking her to a nightclub tonight.

422
00:31:03,298 --> 00:31:05,493
It's for a case at work.

423
00:31:05,595 --> 00:31:08,291
Right, you're a detective now.
Must be exciting.

424
00:31:08,436 --> 00:31:11,837
It is. Just this afternoon,
we had a very strange case.

425
00:31:12,234 --> 00:31:15,533
A woman came to the agency

426
00:31:15,615 --> 00:31:21,781
because even though her nanny took
her little twins out every day for a walk,

427
00:31:21,807 --> 00:31:26,801
the twins looked pale and sickly,
and she couldn't figure out why.

428
00:31:27,263 --> 00:31:31,529
Since she had to work,
she asked us to tail the nanny,

429
00:31:32,050 --> 00:31:34,382
and I was given the assignment.

430
00:31:34,795 --> 00:31:38,856
So this afternoon I waited
outside the woman's building

431
00:31:38,911 --> 00:31:41,106
for the nanny to come out.

432
00:31:41,241 --> 00:31:43,334
She came out with the twins

433
00:31:43,475 --> 00:31:47,673
and headed off for a park,
and I followed.

434
00:31:47,719 --> 00:31:50,517
Antoine, you're here.
How are you?

435
00:31:50,686 --> 00:31:52,984
What did I do with that thing?

436
00:31:54,069 --> 00:31:56,003
Ah, you've come for Christine.

437
00:31:56,144 --> 00:31:58,374
So they're in the park.

438
00:31:58,505 --> 00:32:02,674
She crosses straight through
to the other side of the park,

439
00:32:02,781 --> 00:32:05,306
goes in a doorway,

440
00:32:05,621 --> 00:32:08,388
and leaves the babies
with the concierge

441
00:32:08,429 --> 00:32:12,297
in this filthy, disgusting room.

442
00:32:12,387 --> 00:32:17,256
Then she crosses the street
and enters a striptease joint,

443
00:32:17,747 --> 00:32:20,841
where she did
a "naughty nanny" number,

444
00:32:20,939 --> 00:32:24,932
taking off her uniform and doing
a few things with the bottle.

445
00:32:25,311 --> 00:32:29,372
It was a nonstop show, so she did
her act again 15 minutes later.

446
00:32:30,226 --> 00:32:34,356
Then she returned
to the concierge's room,

447
00:32:34,406 --> 00:32:38,934
picked up the twins,
tipped the concierge and left.

448
00:32:39,033 --> 00:32:41,866
Unbelievable.
No wonder they looked so pale.

449
00:32:42,575 --> 00:32:46,875
Then I wrote up my report
and called it in to the office.

450
00:32:46,947 --> 00:32:48,312
That's incredible.

451
00:32:48,415 --> 00:32:52,274
- Hi, Antoine. Have you been here long?
- He's been waiting two hours.

452
00:32:52,372 --> 00:32:56,103
- What are you looking for?
- I can't find the Langmans' address.

453
00:32:56,297 --> 00:32:59,698
He did me a favor.
I want to send his wife some flowers.

454
00:32:59,775 --> 00:33:01,834
Give them a call.
We have their number.

455
00:33:01,978 --> 00:33:06,647
I'd look pretty stupid, calling up
so I could surprise them with flowers.

456
00:33:06,764 --> 00:33:09,790
You have the phone number
and you need the address?

457
00:33:09,892 --> 00:33:12,855
Yes, it's 525-55-73.

458
00:33:12,987 --> 00:33:15,683
No problem. I'll handle it.

459
00:33:21,634 --> 00:33:23,431
What are you doing?

460
00:33:26,996 --> 00:33:30,488
Is this 525-55-73?
Mrs. Langman?

461
00:33:31,081 --> 00:33:34,847
Madame, if I say "Chiquita,"
what do you say?

462
00:33:35,070 --> 00:33:36,128
Banana!

463
00:33:36,154 --> 00:33:38,918
Congratulations!
You just won five bunches of bananas!

464
00:33:38,931 --> 00:33:41,729
To what address
should we deliver them, please?

465
00:33:41,994 --> 00:33:45,953
No. 6 rue Ribera.
Thank you, and congratulations!

466
00:33:46,207 --> 00:33:49,643
- Very clever.
- One of the many tricks of the trade.

467
00:33:51,312 --> 00:33:53,371
So are you taking me to the movies?

468
00:33:53,515 --> 00:33:56,043
I need to go to a nightclub
tonight for my work.

469
00:33:56,199 --> 00:33:58,431
But it's a nice place,
with interesting acts.

470
00:33:58,875 --> 00:34:01,708
Did you want to go to the movies?
- No, that's fine.

471
00:34:01,716 --> 00:34:03,445
With the lights up,

472
00:34:03,567 --> 00:34:06,536
you'll behave yourself
better than at the movies.

473
00:34:45,850 --> 00:34:50,747
There was once an old sailor,
a magician and a teller of tales.

474
00:34:50,896 --> 00:34:54,063
He was ageless.
In fact, he still lives on.

475
00:34:54,183 --> 00:34:56,108
A remarkable character.

476
00:35:00,210 --> 00:35:04,476
Children find him even to this day,
seated on the steps near the water,

477
00:35:04,805 --> 00:35:09,665
playing with cords
and telling colorful legends.

478
00:35:09,724 --> 00:35:14,257
He has cords of every kind,
every length and every color:

479
00:35:14,379 --> 00:35:17,012
white and red,

480
00:35:17,155 --> 00:35:19,282
green and yellow,

481
00:35:19,676 --> 00:35:23,009
tangerine and burgundy,
purple and blue.

482
00:35:24,335 --> 00:35:28,328
He'd say not a word,
as if he saw no one.

483
00:35:28,739 --> 00:35:31,506
But we saw him,
seated in the June moonlight,

484
00:35:31,547 --> 00:35:35,415
taking his gold cord
and placing it at his side.

485
00:35:36,334 --> 00:35:41,362
Then, as if performing a sacred ritual,

486
00:35:42,302 --> 00:35:46,363
as if rediscovering a lost art,

487
00:35:47,567 --> 00:35:51,833
he would slowly tie knots
in the blue cord.

488
00:35:53,406 --> 00:35:56,307
Then, from the cord
now wrapped around his hand,

489
00:35:57,013 --> 00:36:00,041
the knots left the blue cord

490
00:36:00,176 --> 00:36:03,534
and formed as if by magic
in the golden cord.

491
00:36:04,512 --> 00:36:05,845
Then...

492
00:36:05,948 --> 00:36:09,884
he would send them back
from the gold cord to the blue.

493
00:36:10,383 --> 00:36:12,308
And he was happy,

494
00:36:12,394 --> 00:36:16,660
though no one around him
knew what to make of this.

495
00:36:16,926 --> 00:36:19,087
Once again he'd wrap
the blue cord around his hand,

496
00:36:19,163 --> 00:36:21,261
and the knots would leave
the blue cord

497
00:36:21,329 --> 00:36:24,289
to form in the gold cord.

498
00:36:24,329 --> 00:36:27,628
Then he'd send them back
from the gold cord to the blue,

499
00:36:28,637 --> 00:36:32,437
and they'd leave the blue cord

500
00:36:32,595 --> 00:36:34,961
to mysteriously tie themselves

501
00:36:35,083 --> 00:36:37,142
in the gold cord.

502
00:36:46,731 --> 00:36:49,291
I'm sorry, but I have to go.
It's for my job.

503
00:38:16,371 --> 00:38:18,896
I have to give you a kiss.

504
00:38:19,019 --> 00:38:22,978
Albert, remember Antoine?
My husband Albert.

505
00:38:23,104 --> 00:38:26,267
- What are you doing here?
- Waiting for a friend.

506
00:38:27,221 --> 00:38:29,917
I bet you're wondering
if it's a boy or a girl.

507
00:38:30,891 --> 00:38:33,451
You should come for dinner sometime.
Right, Albert?

508
00:38:33,572 --> 00:38:34,664
Of course.

509
00:38:34,847 --> 00:38:37,179
Did my mother give you my number?

510
00:38:37,241 --> 00:38:38,435
Yes, I think so.

511
00:38:38,614 --> 00:38:41,412
You haven't worn out
your finger dialing.

512
00:38:41,517 --> 00:38:44,714
You didn't used to be afraid
of the telephone.

513
00:38:45,347 --> 00:38:47,713
Well, bye now.

514
00:39:15,503 --> 00:39:17,403
Hi, it's Antoine.

515
00:39:17,514 --> 00:39:21,541
I'm calling because I ran off
in such a hurry last time.

516
00:39:22,108 --> 00:39:23,666
I hope you're not mad.

517
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,534
It was for my job.
I was shadowing someone.

518
00:39:27,634 --> 00:39:30,867
That magician we saw.
I hope you're not mad.

519
00:39:30,948 --> 00:39:33,874
<i>Of course not. I know how it is
when you're a detective.</i>

520
00:39:33,916 --> 00:39:37,408
You say that, but I hear
something in your voice--

521
00:39:37,650 --> 00:39:40,178
<i>- Sounds like you're mad at me.
- No, not at all.</i>

522
00:39:40,235 --> 00:39:42,535
<i>I assure you.
You mustn't think that.</i>

523
00:39:42,596 --> 00:39:47,260
Maybe we could do something tonight.
I'd like that.

524
00:39:47,287 --> 00:39:51,621
<i>So would I, but I'm a little tired today.
I went to a demonstration yesterday.</i>

525
00:39:51,659 --> 00:39:53,390
A demonstration?

526
00:39:53,478 --> 00:39:56,879
With cops and clubs
and beatings and all that?

527
00:39:57,690 --> 00:39:59,785
<i>You know my friend Marie?</i>

528
00:39:59,860 --> 00:40:01,421
Yes, very interesting.

529
00:40:01,519 --> 00:40:03,478
<i>She had to go to the hospital.
It was terrible.</i>

530
00:40:03,562 --> 00:40:06,258
Good. That's great.

531
00:40:06,881 --> 00:40:10,273
Please don't cut us off, miss.

532
00:40:10,295 --> 00:40:13,492
Christine, I can't hear you.
There's noise on the line.

533
00:40:13,965 --> 00:40:16,456
I can't hear you.

534
00:40:30,368 --> 00:40:32,634
<i>What are you doing?</i>

535
00:40:32,697 --> 00:40:34,824
Don't put that dirty paper
on my windshield.

536
00:40:34,963 --> 00:40:38,729
It messes up my car.
This paper is filthy.

537
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,005
Those flyers aren't clean.

538
00:40:41,190 --> 00:40:42,819
<i>Don't ever do that.</i>

539
00:40:56,217 --> 00:40:58,208
6:55, the post office closes.

540
00:40:58,354 --> 00:41:00,714
6:58, the subject has not reappeared.

541
00:41:00,875 --> 00:41:02,740
7:04, operation suspended.

542
00:41:02,885 --> 00:41:04,978
So your report would indicate

543
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:08,021
the magician spent the night
in the post office.

544
00:41:08,151 --> 00:41:09,484
You must be kidding.

545
00:41:09,587 --> 00:41:12,750
I lost sight of him, sir.
I'm not sure where he went.

546
00:41:12,842 --> 00:41:15,709
Perhaps our magician
made himself disappear.

547
00:41:16,767 --> 00:41:20,168
What sort of place is this nightclub?
A fancy cabaret?

548
00:41:20,246 --> 00:41:22,874
No, it's one of those artsy places,

549
00:41:22,990 --> 00:41:25,959
with candles on the tables
and Vivaldi in the bathrooms.

550
00:41:26,341 --> 00:41:29,208
What's this statue you mention?

551
00:41:29,309 --> 00:41:32,801
He makes all his appointments
in front of a statue of Joan of Arc.

552
00:41:32,883 --> 00:41:34,851
Is it an equestrian statue?

553
00:41:36,170 --> 00:41:38,832
<i>- Mr. Tabard is here for his appointment.
- Show him in.</i>

554
00:41:38,882 --> 00:41:41,651
I'm sure the magician gave you the slip.

555
00:41:41,786 --> 00:41:44,050
I'll have to put someone else
on the case.

556
00:41:44,184 --> 00:41:47,579
I don't know what to do with you.
You mean well, but--

557
00:41:47,658 --> 00:41:49,592
It's discouraging.

558
00:41:49,731 --> 00:41:51,528
You may go.

559
00:41:55,859 --> 00:41:57,724
Mr. Tabard.

560
00:42:06,868 --> 00:42:08,736
I may as well be frank:

561
00:42:08,815 --> 00:42:12,114
I have no special reason
for coming to see you.

562
00:42:12,517 --> 00:42:16,886
People don't usually come to us
out of curiosity.

563
00:42:18,453 --> 00:42:22,617
Are you married?

564
00:42:23,462 --> 00:42:25,327
Very happily married.

565
00:42:25,441 --> 00:42:28,103
To a superior woman, I must say.

566
00:42:30,228 --> 00:42:32,221
No problem in that regard.

567
00:42:32,302 --> 00:42:34,099
And my health is very good.

568
00:42:34,855 --> 00:42:37,155
Delighted to hear it.

569
00:42:37,216 --> 00:42:38,683
What is your profession?

570
00:42:38,748 --> 00:42:42,616
The shop is doing very well.
We double our revenues every year.

571
00:42:43,854 --> 00:42:45,048
What shop?

572
00:42:46,885 --> 00:42:49,752
My shoe shop.

573
00:42:49,981 --> 00:42:54,042
Shoes for men, women and children,
especially children.

574
00:42:54,098 --> 00:42:56,731
Everyone needs shoes,

575
00:42:56,874 --> 00:43:00,708
and with traffic these days,
more and more people are walking.

576
00:43:01,501 --> 00:43:05,232
Then you're a happy man.
No cares, no enemies.

577
00:43:06,671 --> 00:43:08,436
No enemies would be going too far.

578
00:43:08,522 --> 00:43:12,049
From the time I was a little boy,
through college and the army,

579
00:43:12,128 --> 00:43:14,119
others have always been jealous of me.

580
00:43:14,266 --> 00:43:16,496
Mind you, I don't lose sleep over it.

581
00:43:16,627 --> 00:43:19,892
And I do have one very serious fault.

582
00:43:20,488 --> 00:43:22,353
I'm too frank.

583
00:43:22,787 --> 00:43:25,517
Yes, that can be a problem.

584
00:43:25,722 --> 00:43:29,317
But I still don't understand
the reason for your visit.

585
00:43:29,392 --> 00:43:31,553
What would you like us
to do for you?

586
00:43:34,370 --> 00:43:37,032
Nobody likes me,
and I'd like to know why.

587
00:43:38,423 --> 00:43:41,859
I know what you'll say:
I should see a psychoanalyst.

588
00:43:42,922 --> 00:43:44,881
It's not the money.
I could certainly afford it.

589
00:43:44,965 --> 00:43:48,423
But I won't waste my time lying
on a couch, talking about my childhood.

590
00:43:48,507 --> 00:43:51,435
I'm not a sissy.
Besides, the shop leaves me no time.

591
00:43:51,570 --> 00:43:54,971
You give the shoe business 24 hours a day
or you find another line of work.

592
00:43:57,378 --> 00:44:00,545
If you feel everyone hates you,

593
00:44:00,665 --> 00:44:02,963
perhaps you've shown contempt--

594
00:44:03,091 --> 00:44:05,186
Absolutely not.
I look down on no one.

595
00:44:05,261 --> 00:44:08,321
Anyone can come
to Tabard's for shoes.

596
00:44:09,346 --> 00:44:12,975
Jewish women, Arab women...

597
00:44:14,260 --> 00:44:16,888
even a Chinaman's wife,

598
00:44:17,132 --> 00:44:20,231
if she can wear high heels.

599
00:44:20,355 --> 00:44:21,879
That'll be the day!

600
00:44:23,451 --> 00:44:27,219
No, I feel I'm hated

601
00:44:27,311 --> 00:44:31,407
but I don't know by whom.

602
00:44:32,354 --> 00:44:35,653
I feel it in the air
when I go out in public,

603
00:44:35,736 --> 00:44:39,672
to a restaurant or a movie
or a boxing match.

604
00:44:40,427 --> 00:44:44,454
When I speak to my concierge,
she shrugs her shoulders at me.

605
00:44:45,023 --> 00:44:49,255
And my wife is always laughing,
except when I say something funny.

606
00:44:50,703 --> 00:44:53,171
And the salesgirls are the worst.

607
00:44:54,437 --> 00:44:59,539
If I comment on their work,
for example,

608
00:44:59,574 --> 00:45:01,604
they talk back.

609
00:45:01,776 --> 00:45:05,077
They argue with me.

610
00:45:05,159 --> 00:45:07,550
You must have friends.

611
00:45:07,616 --> 00:45:09,743
No, no friends.

612
00:45:09,850 --> 00:45:12,448
Good thing I don't need any,
'cause I'd never be able to make one.

613
00:45:12,594 --> 00:45:15,085
How many salesgirls do you have?

614
00:45:15,152 --> 00:45:17,145
Four, plus the cashier.

615
00:45:18,785 --> 00:45:22,881
We could begin with
an investigation in your store.

616
00:45:24,082 --> 00:45:26,846
I could place a periscope there.

617
00:45:27,593 --> 00:45:29,654
Yes, a periscope.
Let me explain.

618
00:45:29,730 --> 00:45:32,961
<i>- Send Doinel in.
- Right away, sir.</i>

619
00:45:33,049 --> 00:45:35,540
Antoine, Mr. Blady wants to see you.

620
00:45:37,134 --> 00:45:39,364
He said right now.

621
00:45:39,559 --> 00:45:41,359
He's going to chew me out again.

622
00:45:41,442 --> 00:45:45,076
Let me tell you what my father
told me when I came to Paris:

623
00:45:45,176 --> 00:45:48,009
"Respect your boss."

624
00:45:51,207 --> 00:45:53,141
This is a periscope.

625
00:45:53,792 --> 00:45:56,556
Mr. Tabard, this is Antoine Doinel.

626
00:46:01,738 --> 00:46:04,104
That's all. You can go now.

627
00:46:07,100 --> 00:46:08,465
He's very young.

628
00:46:08,568 --> 00:46:12,429
Yes, but he's brilliant,
especially for investigations.

629
00:46:12,524 --> 00:46:16,255
Tailing someone is another story.
- Send him over and I'll hire him.

630
00:46:17,151 --> 00:46:20,120
That wouldn't be wise.
He'd look like your puppet.

631
00:46:20,156 --> 00:46:22,151
You mustn't appear
to know each other.

632
00:46:22,225 --> 00:46:25,217
Place an ad in the paper
for a stock boy,

633
00:46:25,321 --> 00:46:27,519
eliminate the other applicants,
and then hire him.

634
00:46:27,651 --> 00:46:30,017
All right, you have your materials.

635
00:46:30,523 --> 00:46:33,014
I'll give the signal to start.

636
00:46:33,459 --> 00:46:35,120
Ready.

637
00:46:35,277 --> 00:46:37,973
One, two, three, go.

638
00:47:08,401 --> 00:47:10,460
Show me your packages.

639
00:47:11,976 --> 00:47:15,241
Very good.
We'll hire this young man.

640
00:47:37,090 --> 00:47:39,183
Hi.

641
00:47:39,611 --> 00:47:41,408
How are things?

642
00:47:41,558 --> 00:47:44,220
Fine. I'm working in a shoe shop.

643
00:47:44,334 --> 00:47:47,064
I'm doing okay too.
You know my television scripts?

644
00:47:47,175 --> 00:47:49,143
I took them to one of the stations.

645
00:47:49,281 --> 00:47:51,943
They read them
and they're interested.

646
00:47:51,961 --> 00:47:54,020
I'm just waiting.
I'm sure they'll make them.

647
00:47:55,088 --> 00:47:56,555
So I'm happy.

648
00:47:57,960 --> 00:47:59,928
Well, see ya.

649
00:48:13,916 --> 00:48:15,611
Is there a restaurant nearby?

650
00:48:15,927 --> 00:48:18,361
You should eat with us.

651
00:48:18,512 --> 00:48:20,241
You have something planned?

652
00:48:20,394 --> 00:48:23,454
We share what we bring from home.

653
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,822
Yes, eat with us.
We'll manage just fine.

654
00:48:28,021 --> 00:48:30,080
Help me set the table.

655
00:48:34,882 --> 00:48:37,783
Say, about the boss, Mr. Tabard.

656
00:48:38,328 --> 00:48:39,989
Seems like a nice guy.

657
00:48:40,147 --> 00:48:42,138
It's obvious you don't know
the old dinosaur!

658
00:48:46,626 --> 00:48:50,118
You're not leaving till you find
that pair of pumps I asked for.

659
00:48:50,296 --> 00:48:53,595
They didn't come in, ma'am.
It would be in my receipts.

660
00:48:53,678 --> 00:48:57,079
I don't know what
they taught you in school.

661
00:48:57,188 --> 00:49:01,955
The factory double-checked.
You signed the delivery slip yourself.

662
00:49:02,166 --> 00:49:05,829
I signed lots of slips today.
I have no idea where they are.

663
00:49:05,900 --> 00:49:09,233
The client paid for those shoes!

664
00:49:09,825 --> 00:49:12,623
I already went through
the unmarked boxes.

665
00:49:12,730 --> 00:49:14,425
They have to be here somewhere.

666
00:49:14,485 --> 00:49:16,544
The boxes must have gotten mixed up.

667
00:49:16,686 --> 00:49:18,451
I don't care how you find them,

668
00:49:18,537 --> 00:49:22,997
but I want those shoes
first thing tomorrow morning.

669
00:50:54,698 --> 00:50:58,259
Ma'am, you shouldn't be in here.
The shop is closed.

670
00:50:58,335 --> 00:50:59,825
If all our customers did like you--

671
00:50:59,936 --> 00:51:03,237
Then their names would be
Fabienne Tabard too.

672
00:51:03,665 --> 00:51:06,759
I'm the boss's wife.
- I'm sorry. Forgive me.

673
00:51:07,717 --> 00:51:11,084
It doesn't matter.
You're just doing your job.

674
00:51:11,104 --> 00:51:13,598
You're the new stock boy?
- Yes.

675
00:51:14,259 --> 00:51:15,726
Antoine, right?

676
00:51:18,961 --> 00:51:20,622
What do you think of this shoe?

677
00:51:21,886 --> 00:51:25,051
The gold color's too much for this dress?
You're right.

678
00:51:25,178 --> 00:51:29,347
Let's try something else.
Find me a pair like these,

679
00:51:29,422 --> 00:51:32,055
but with a black satin toe
in a 4 1/2.

680
00:51:32,698 --> 00:51:33,395
All right?

681
00:51:53,383 --> 00:51:56,580
Mr. Tabard's impatient for a change.

682
00:51:59,003 --> 00:52:00,766
Would you answer that?

683
00:52:08,803 --> 00:52:11,567
I don't understand you.

684
00:52:15,253 --> 00:52:17,778
They're speaking English.
I don't understand.

685
00:52:40,380 --> 00:52:43,679
Would you mind taking that up
to the apartment?

686
00:52:43,764 --> 00:52:46,028
I'm off. Good night, Antoine.

687
00:52:46,957 --> 00:52:49,425
You know how to close up?

688
00:52:49,894 --> 00:52:52,192
You work terribly late.

689
00:53:05,634 --> 00:53:08,831
This is Antoine,
reporting on the Cinderella case.

690
00:53:09,370 --> 00:53:11,930
Mr. Tabard's staff call him
"the dinosaur."

691
00:53:13,009 --> 00:53:14,874
I met Mrs. Tabard.

692
00:53:15,022 --> 00:53:17,513
She has an enchanting voice
and speaks perfect English.

693
00:53:17,639 --> 00:53:19,573
<i>Describe her for me.</i>

694
00:53:19,906 --> 00:53:21,669
She's an extraordinary woman!

695
00:53:21,822 --> 00:53:24,382
A bit mysterious, and very sweet.

696
00:53:24,599 --> 00:53:28,094
Her nose is slightly turned up,
but straight and full of character.

697
00:53:28,211 --> 00:53:30,579
<i>- Her measurements?
- That I don't know.</i>

698
00:53:30,697 --> 00:53:33,131
<i>I'm asking you how tall she is.</i>

699
00:53:34,273 --> 00:53:35,740
About five foot five without heels.

700
00:53:35,901 --> 00:53:37,735
<i>What shape is her face?</i>

701
00:53:37,849 --> 00:53:39,817
A perfect oval.

702
00:53:39,956 --> 00:53:42,120
That is, a slightly triangular oval.

703
00:53:42,191 --> 00:53:44,585
But her skin is radiant,
as if illuminated from within!

704
00:53:44,745 --> 00:53:47,339
<i>We want a report,
not a declaration of love. Good night.</i>

705
00:55:05,872 --> 00:55:09,467
What possessed you to pester me
at the shop in the middle of the day?

706
00:55:09,543 --> 00:55:11,977
You disappeared completely,
and you're never home.

707
00:55:12,097 --> 00:55:14,031
My parents are asking
what's become of you.

708
00:55:14,172 --> 00:55:17,872
Tell them I'm fine
and give them my best.

709
00:55:17,972 --> 00:55:20,372
You can be so nasty for no reason!

710
00:55:20,494 --> 00:55:22,485
Right, for no reason.

711
00:55:22,633 --> 00:55:24,396
If I've done something wrong,
just tell me.

712
00:55:24,517 --> 00:55:27,850
- No, nothing at all.
- I thought I was your friend.

713
00:55:27,933 --> 00:55:31,425
You can do what you want with your
friendship, as far as I'm concerned.

714
00:55:31,509 --> 00:55:33,309
So we're back to where
we were last year?

715
00:55:33,393 --> 00:55:36,160
No, much further than that.
And whose fault is it?

716
00:55:36,302 --> 00:55:39,399
Certainly not mine! I don't remember
every one of your letters,

717
00:55:39,492 --> 00:55:41,483
but in one of them you wrote,

718
00:55:41,630 --> 00:55:46,431
"Now I realize I can never feel
anything but friendship for you."

719
00:55:46,451 --> 00:55:49,579
Yes, that's what I thought at the time.

720
00:55:49,676 --> 00:55:52,338
But love and friendship
go hand in hand with admiration.

721
00:55:52,454 --> 00:55:54,615
And I don't admire you!

722
00:55:54,752 --> 00:55:58,313
Even when I thought I loved you,
I didn't admire you, and that's the truth.

723
00:55:58,392 --> 00:56:00,326
Well, then, good-bye!

724
00:56:10,875 --> 00:56:12,706
Look at Papa Tabard!

725
00:56:13,589 --> 00:56:17,391
<i>- I hate going up there myself.
- Ask the new guy to go with you.</i>

726
00:56:17,488 --> 00:56:19,850
- Antoine?
- I wouldn't mind making it with him.

727
00:56:20,006 --> 00:56:22,668
<i>He's okay, but haven't you noticed
he's crazy about the boss's wife?</i>

728
00:56:22,785 --> 00:56:24,946
<i>- The boss's wife?
- Yes.</i>

729
00:56:25,083 --> 00:56:28,077
<i>The other day Sylvie called her
"Mrs. Dinosaur" as a joke.</i>

730
00:56:28,216 --> 00:56:29,145
<i>Antoine got furious.</i>

731
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:32,468
<i>"Talking that way about
such an exceptional woman!</i>

732
00:56:32,617 --> 00:56:35,682
<i>Madame Tabard isn't a woman.
She's an apparition."</i>

733
00:56:35,811 --> 00:56:38,373
<i>- An apparition?
- Exactly.</i>

734
00:56:38,460 --> 00:56:42,123
<i>Just watch. Whenever she's
around, he turns white as a sheet.</i>

735
00:58:18,201 --> 00:58:20,795
No, not there.
Look up in the green boxes.

736
00:58:21,648 --> 00:58:24,947
- The green boxes are all empty.
- I said the green boxes.

737
00:58:31,738 --> 00:58:33,365
Can I have tomorrow off?

738
00:58:34,899 --> 00:58:36,730
Then can I leave early tonight?

739
00:58:37,772 --> 00:58:40,400
Shall I tell you a story?

740
00:58:41,476 --> 00:58:43,674
Did you hear the one about
the idiot who kept saying no?

741
00:58:43,743 --> 00:58:44,801
It's you!

742
00:58:49,681 --> 00:58:51,444
Come with me.

743
00:58:52,809 --> 00:58:55,300
You see?
It's like that all the time.

744
00:58:55,396 --> 00:58:57,421
How's your investigation going?

745
00:58:57,568 --> 00:59:01,971
I can't comment. I make my reports,
and Mr. Blady draws the conclusions.

746
00:59:14,042 --> 00:59:17,773
And who gave the most
to the Shoe Defense Fund this year?

747
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:19,364
Yours truly.

748
00:59:19,851 --> 00:59:22,877
You're late, George. It's all cold.
Shall I have it warmed?

749
00:59:22,980 --> 00:59:26,609
Don't bother. I'll eat on the run.
Is there any cheese?

750
00:59:26,685 --> 00:59:29,051
I got held up downstairs.
The girls got the boxes mixed up.

751
00:59:29,175 --> 00:59:30,836
Hello, Antoine.

752
00:59:31,729 --> 00:59:33,959
I have to give Antoine the ledgers.

753
00:59:34,091 --> 00:59:37,060
- Have you eaten?
- Yes, downstairs.

754
00:59:37,252 --> 00:59:39,313
- With the girls?
- That's right.

755
00:59:39,391 --> 00:59:41,757
I'm missing one. Sit down.

756
00:59:42,009 --> 00:59:43,977
I'll give it to you later.

757
00:59:54,876 --> 00:59:56,571
Do you like cheese?

758
00:59:57,526 --> 00:59:59,994
This one's perfect.
It sticks wonderfully.

759
01:00:00,527 --> 01:00:02,688
I'd prefer a yogurt.

760
01:00:11,925 --> 01:00:15,952
Dick and Janet called for you.
I told them to call the shop.

761
01:00:17,097 --> 01:00:20,555
I called, but they were at Berlitz
for their first French lesson.

762
01:00:21,566 --> 01:00:23,864
Do you speak English, Antoine?

763
01:00:25,111 --> 01:00:28,569
I'm learning from records,
but it's not easy.

764
01:00:29,644 --> 01:00:31,271
Records are a joke.

765
01:00:31,975 --> 01:00:33,638
There's only one way to learn:

766
01:00:33,731 --> 01:00:36,928
in bed with an English girl.

767
01:00:37,116 --> 01:00:39,277
It's time you learned.

768
01:00:39,861 --> 01:00:41,920
I learned with an Australian girl

769
01:00:43,181 --> 01:00:45,274
while her husband was at work
painting houses.

770
01:00:47,237 --> 01:00:48,568
Like Hitler.

771
01:00:50,492 --> 01:00:52,460
Don't ever say
Hitler was a housepainter.

772
01:00:53,558 --> 01:00:54,752
That's slander.

773
01:00:55,633 --> 01:00:57,567
Hitler painted landscapes.

774
01:01:11,406 --> 01:01:13,533
What's wrong with me?

775
01:01:13,673 --> 01:01:17,871
The one I need is down in the car.
I'll be right back.

776
01:01:18,748 --> 01:01:21,182
You can leave that. I'll serve.

777
01:01:28,072 --> 01:01:29,733
Are you coming?

778
01:02:51,274 --> 01:02:53,335
Do you like music, Antoine?

779
01:02:53,412 --> 01:02:55,277
Yes, sir.

780
01:03:21,891 --> 01:03:23,586
Antoine, what's wrong?

781
01:03:25,914 --> 01:03:28,382
I'm sick. I'm going home.

782
01:03:31,661 --> 01:03:34,562
- Where are you going?
- I'm sick. I'm going home.

783
01:03:44,719 --> 01:03:46,653
I don't see the new stock boy around.

784
01:03:46,794 --> 01:03:49,160
He went home sick.

785
01:03:58,192 --> 01:04:00,558
Hand me the book, please.

786
01:04:03,301 --> 01:04:05,235
No, the personnel book.

787
01:04:36,122 --> 01:04:39,551
What's another word for "say"?

788
01:04:39,666 --> 01:04:42,032
I've used it ten times already.

789
01:04:42,156 --> 01:04:46,058
State, reveal, recount, affirm.

790
01:04:46,115 --> 01:04:47,883
You know quite a few, I see.

791
01:04:48,063 --> 01:04:50,395
I'm gonna keep "say." It's better.

792
01:04:54,927 --> 01:04:57,657
That Mrs. Tabard
is running me ragged.

793
01:04:58,535 --> 01:05:00,628
But I've got a lead.
- What kind of lead?

794
01:05:00,930 --> 01:05:02,058
About her lover.

795
01:05:02,174 --> 01:05:04,438
She doesn't have a lover!
She's above all that!

796
01:05:04,569 --> 01:05:08,266
She just bought three neckties,
and her husband doesn't wear them.

797
01:05:08,336 --> 01:05:11,237
That's right. He wears bow ties.

798
01:05:11,369 --> 01:05:13,234
I'm fed up with this case.

799
01:05:13,317 --> 01:05:15,547
I'm going to ask Mr. Blady
for a different assignment.

800
01:05:23,949 --> 01:05:27,214
Not right now.
Mr. Albani's here to see me.

801
01:05:27,716 --> 01:05:30,685
You can wait five minutes, can't you?

802
01:05:30,780 --> 01:05:32,611
It's very urgent.

803
01:05:34,134 --> 01:05:36,432
I'll see you in a few minutes.

804
01:05:45,499 --> 01:05:47,467
Everything okay?

805
01:05:47,547 --> 01:05:51,611
We've been fortunate in this matter,
which isn't always the case.

806
01:05:51,802 --> 01:05:54,630
We followed your friend

807
01:05:54,767 --> 01:05:55,966
the magician.

808
01:05:56,072 --> 01:05:57,633
Robert.

809
01:05:57,732 --> 01:06:00,726
Right. Mr. Robert Espanet,
35 years old.

810
01:06:00,824 --> 01:06:05,852
He's been performing at
the Golden Horse since last September.

811
01:06:07,721 --> 01:06:11,054
His new address is
42 rue de la Republique.

812
01:06:15,447 --> 01:06:18,439
He needed the larger space
because his wife is pregnant.

813
01:06:18,544 --> 01:06:19,568
His wife?

814
01:06:21,577 --> 01:06:24,171
He was married last November 12.

815
01:06:24,450 --> 01:06:26,714
You must be mistaken.

816
01:06:27,325 --> 01:06:31,762
No, the marriage contract
was drawn up by a Mr. Lebaudet.

817
01:06:33,359 --> 01:06:35,520
You bastard!

818
01:06:35,598 --> 01:06:38,058
You're lying!
- Please, put those papers down!

819
01:07:00,018 --> 01:07:02,111
Get the dentist from upstairs!

820
01:07:07,615 --> 01:07:09,776
Get the dentist, quick!

821
01:07:10,745 --> 01:07:13,145
There's a crazy man downstairs.

822
01:07:20,163 --> 01:07:22,028
Filthy lies! Let me go!

823
01:07:31,689 --> 01:07:35,682
I can't go home!
His things are there!

824
01:07:36,351 --> 01:07:39,286
- You have to go somewhere.
- I'll go to a hotel.

825
01:07:39,384 --> 01:07:41,750
Put him in a cab and get him home.

826
01:07:41,874 --> 01:07:44,399
See where it got you?

827
01:07:45,674 --> 01:07:47,608
I hope he paid in advance.

828
01:08:19,197 --> 01:08:21,693
<i>"A college professor of mine
explained the difference</i>

829
01:08:21,846 --> 01:08:23,780
<i>between politeness and tact.</i>

830
01:08:23,922 --> 01:08:26,823
<i>A gentleman mistakenly opens
a bathroom door</i>

831
01:08:26,923 --> 01:08:28,948
<i>and finds a woman totally naked.</i>

832
01:08:29,094 --> 01:08:32,361
<i>He quickly steps back, closes the door
and says, 'Pardon me, madame.'</i>

833
01:08:32,478 --> 01:08:34,005
<i>That's politeness.</i>

834
01:08:34,107 --> 01:08:37,374
<i>The same gentleman opens the same door
and finds the same naked woman,</i>

835
01:08:37,396 --> 01:08:39,355
<i>and says, 'Pardon me, sir.'</i>

836
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:40,863
<i>That's tact.</i>

837
01:08:40,972 --> 01:08:44,499
<i>I understand why you ran off, Antoine.
Until tomorrow."</i>

838
01:08:51,092 --> 01:08:53,822
For the last hour...

839
01:08:55,338 --> 01:08:57,431
I've been staring at these ties...

840
01:08:58,818 --> 01:09:00,877
that I would never dare to wear.

841
01:09:07,949 --> 01:09:10,340
This is a farewell letter.

842
01:09:10,408 --> 01:09:13,673
<i>I'm unworthy of your generosity.</i>

843
01:09:13,759 --> 01:09:17,923
<i>You'll never see me again.
I've quit my job at the shop.</i>

844
01:09:18,485 --> 01:09:21,750
<i>I'm a worse impostor
than you could ever imagine.</i>

845
01:09:21,837 --> 01:09:24,829
<i>For a moment I dreamed
there could be feelings between us,</i>

846
01:09:24,935 --> 01:09:27,670
<i>but they're as impossible
as Félix's love</i>

847
01:09:27,808 --> 01:09:30,470
<i>for Madame de Morsauf in
The Lily in the Valley.</i>

848
01:09:31,352 --> 01:09:33,013
<i>Good-bye.</i>

<i>tic.</i>

852
01:10:50,776 --> 01:10:52,471
What is it?

853
01:11:02,430 --> 01:11:03,795
I woke you up.

854
01:11:05,877 --> 01:11:10,576
I was woken up very early as well,
by your letter.

855
01:11:11,753 --> 01:11:13,550
But no matter.

856
01:11:13,700 --> 01:11:18,262
It's always nice to wake up
to something lovely to read.

857
01:11:19,447 --> 01:11:23,008
I sat down to write an answer,
but I couldn't.

858
01:11:23,342 --> 01:11:25,469
I realized

859
01:11:26,407 --> 01:11:29,376
I had to come over right away,
in person.

860
01:11:33,783 --> 01:11:35,978
<i>I've read The Lily in the Valley,</i>

861
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:39,369
and, like you,
I thought it was beautiful.

862
01:11:44,861 --> 01:11:47,489
But you're forgetting something.

863
01:11:49,810 --> 01:11:53,610
What happens between
Madame de Mortsauf and Félix

864
01:11:53,772 --> 01:11:56,168
is not a beautiful love story.

865
01:11:58,211 --> 01:11:59,669
It's actually quite pitiful,

866
01:11:59,834 --> 01:12:04,034
because she died from never being able

867
01:12:04,177 --> 01:12:06,407
to share that love with him.

868
01:12:10,498 --> 01:12:14,491
Besides, I'm not an apparition.
I am a woman,

869
01:12:16,308 --> 01:12:18,008
which is just the opposite.

870
01:12:18,193 --> 01:12:21,253
For example, before coming here
this morning,

871
01:12:21,577 --> 01:12:25,604
I put on my makeup,
powdered my nose...

872
01:12:28,090 --> 01:12:30,320
and made up my eyes.

873
01:12:32,815 --> 01:12:37,052
And crossing town I noticed
every other woman had done the same,

874
01:12:37,126 --> 01:12:40,618
to please herself
or out of regard for others.

875
01:12:41,180 --> 01:12:43,808
You say I'm exceptional.

876
01:12:43,926 --> 01:12:46,087
You're right. I am exceptional.

877
01:12:46,225 --> 01:12:50,061
Every woman
is exceptional in her turn.

878
01:12:50,184 --> 01:12:51,742
You there...

879
01:12:52,035 --> 01:12:54,265
you're quite exceptional yourself.

880
01:12:54,399 --> 01:12:57,266
Did you know your fingerprints
are unique in the entire world?

881
01:12:58,133 --> 01:13:00,829
You are unique.
We're both unique.

882
01:13:00,943 --> 01:13:03,138
Unique and irreplaceable.

883
01:13:04,902 --> 01:13:09,635
When my father was about to die,
he called his doctor over...

884
01:13:10,682 --> 01:13:12,377
and said...

885
01:13:13,746 --> 01:13:15,910
"People are wonderful."

886
01:13:15,980 --> 01:13:17,971
And then he died.

887
01:13:21,982 --> 01:13:25,816
Say nothing if you like,
but please look at me.

888
01:13:26,932 --> 01:13:28,832
Really look at me.

889
01:13:28,976 --> 01:13:30,967
You wrote me yesterday,

890
01:13:32,167 --> 01:13:34,692
and my answer is... me.

891
01:13:39,767 --> 01:13:43,396
I propose we make a contract.

892
01:13:44,651 --> 01:13:47,586
A real contract,
fair to both parties.

893
01:13:49,345 --> 01:13:52,712
Since we both love
what is exceptional,

894
01:13:54,581 --> 01:13:57,311
I'll come over to you...

895
01:13:58,061 --> 01:13:59,892
now.

896
01:14:00,073 --> 01:14:03,065
We'll spend a few hours together.

897
01:14:04,989 --> 01:14:07,253
Then, no matter what happens,

898
01:14:07,383 --> 01:14:10,047
we'll never see each other again.

899
01:14:10,098 --> 01:14:11,725
Agreed?

900
01:14:16,929 --> 01:14:19,056
Perhaps I should take the key
out of the lock.

901
01:14:28,839 --> 01:14:30,664
In the stories you and I like,

902
01:14:30,850 --> 01:14:33,944
the woman throws the key
out the window.

903
01:14:34,681 --> 01:14:37,844
But for us this vase will do just fine.

904
01:15:21,295 --> 01:15:22,856
But this morning there was a surprise:

905
01:15:22,955 --> 01:15:25,082
Mrs. Tabard, who never
gets up before 11:00,

906
01:15:25,222 --> 01:15:27,713
went out this morning at 8:15.

907
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:31,071
I followed her to 18 square d'Anvers,

908
01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:34,084
where she stayed
for an hour and a half.

909
01:15:34,193 --> 01:15:36,320
Then she returned home.

910
01:15:36,396 --> 01:15:38,457
Do you know who she visited there?

911
01:15:38,535 --> 01:15:42,266
No. It's an eight-story building,
and the concierge wasn't in,

912
01:15:42,334 --> 01:15:44,998
but I intend to go back
and question the tenants.

913
01:15:46,102 --> 01:15:48,866
I know who Mrs. Tabard visited.

914
01:15:49,072 --> 01:15:50,801
Really? Who?

915
01:15:53,669 --> 01:15:58,003
Mr. Blady, I need to speak
to you in private.

916
01:15:59,416 --> 01:16:01,714
The rest of you, please leave.

917
01:16:08,260 --> 01:16:10,253
<i>How do you do, madame?</i>

918
01:16:10,367 --> 01:16:13,259
<i>I'm sorry to bother you--</i>

919
01:16:13,335 --> 01:16:15,100
I'm a high school principal.

920
01:16:15,188 --> 01:16:17,488
Sorry to bother you,

921
01:16:17,550 --> 01:16:20,410
but I'd like to get a little information

922
01:16:20,551 --> 01:16:24,180
on one of your teachers,
Solange Dupuis.

923
01:16:25,819 --> 01:16:29,277
Leave me alone!
When I say no, I mean no!

924
01:16:30,449 --> 01:16:34,146
...information on her moral character.

925
01:16:37,058 --> 01:16:39,850
It's a new wig.
I'm on a new case.

926
01:16:39,994 --> 01:16:41,689
Give me a hand.

927
01:16:41,847 --> 01:16:43,747
<i>What am I supposed to tell Mr. Tabard?</i>

928
01:16:43,830 --> 01:16:46,255
<i>That he paid 2,000 francs
to be made a laughing stock?</i>

929
01:16:54,872 --> 01:16:56,237
What was that?

930
01:16:56,310 --> 01:16:59,802
Mr. Henri! I'll get Mr. Blady.

931
01:17:14,668 --> 01:17:17,501
You can hang up now.
Mr. Henri is dead.

932
01:18:14,148 --> 01:18:16,673
For a little more
I'll take off all my clothes.

933
01:18:18,075 --> 01:18:20,441
Here you go,
but I prefer you keep them on.

934
01:18:20,565 --> 01:18:22,692
Then we can take longer.

935
01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:24,665
No, I don't want to.

936
01:18:46,746 --> 01:18:47,838
Damned idiot!

937
01:18:47,963 --> 01:18:49,162
Put on your hand brake.

938
01:18:49,268 --> 01:18:51,532
Antoine, it's you!

939
01:18:51,663 --> 01:18:54,131
We were wondering
what had become of you.

940
01:18:54,472 --> 01:18:57,464
I'm a TV repairman now.

941
01:18:59,133 --> 01:19:01,533
No, it was my fault.

942
01:19:03,955 --> 01:19:06,223
I'd have preferred to run into you
under different circumstances,

943
01:19:06,381 --> 01:19:08,042
but it's nothing serious.

944
01:19:16,406 --> 01:19:19,239
<i>Christine, we're off.</i>

945
01:19:25,505 --> 01:19:27,302
Good-bye, darling.

946
01:19:27,453 --> 01:19:30,388
- Have a good weekend.
- Come with us. It'll do you good.

947
01:19:30,485 --> 01:19:32,680
- I've got work to do.
- You're too serious.

948
01:19:32,816 --> 01:19:34,977
If you get bored,
you can always call Lucienne.

949
01:19:35,115 --> 01:19:36,912
I'll be fine. I've got the TV.

950
01:19:37,478 --> 01:19:40,447
Spending the whole weekend
indoors isn't good.

951
01:20:05,702 --> 01:20:08,034
Is this SOS 99-99?

952
01:20:08,798 --> 01:20:13,098
Could you please come right away
to 44 avenue Edouard Vaillant?

953
01:20:13,209 --> 01:20:15,543
The TV's not working at all.

954
01:21:14,377 --> 01:21:16,811
I see it's a Cérénovox.

955
01:21:21,114 --> 01:21:23,605
What's this?
Someone removed this piece already.

956
01:21:23,891 --> 01:21:25,691
How cute. It's like a taxicab meter.

957
01:21:25,838 --> 01:21:28,170
Please, let me work in peace.

958
01:22:26,595 --> 01:22:28,324
Is that enough?

959
01:22:35,408 --> 01:22:37,742
That's not how you do it.

960
01:22:37,803 --> 01:22:39,728
I'll teach you something
you'll never forget:

961
01:22:39,814 --> 01:22:41,782
how to butter a biscuit
without breaking it.

962
01:22:41,921 --> 01:22:44,822
You put one biscuit
on top of the other,

963
01:22:45,465 --> 01:22:47,799
and you butter the top one.

964
01:22:47,959 --> 01:22:51,317
The bottom biscuit keeps
the top one from breaking.

965
01:22:52,361 --> 01:22:54,488
I'll teach you everything I know,

966
01:22:54,628 --> 01:22:57,292
and in return, you teach me
everything you know.

967
01:22:57,341 --> 01:22:58,638
Very well.

968
01:23:03,217 --> 01:23:05,447
It isn't especially important.

969
01:23:05,579 --> 01:23:07,945
Well, I guess it is,

970
01:23:08,068 --> 01:23:10,798
but I'd prefer to write it.

971
01:23:11,837 --> 01:23:13,862
Do you have a pencil?

972
01:24:39,062 --> 01:24:41,997
I forgot my handkerchief.
Would you lend me yours?

973
01:24:42,094 --> 01:24:45,723
- I've only got Kleenex.
- I never blow my nose on paper!

974
01:24:46,321 --> 01:24:48,414
Don't look now,
but there's a strange guy over there.

975
01:24:48,970 --> 01:24:52,337
He's been following me for days.
I don't know who he is.

976
01:24:52,674 --> 01:24:55,575
- Who could he be?
- I have no idea. Here he comes.

977
01:25:06,115 --> 01:25:08,640
I know I'm no stranger to you.

978
01:25:08,765 --> 01:25:11,632
I've been watching you in secret
for some time,

979
01:25:11,733 --> 01:25:14,668
but these last few days,
I've made no effort to hide,

980
01:25:14,736 --> 01:25:17,034
and I know now
that the moment has come.

981
01:25:19,524 --> 01:25:22,254
Before I saw you,
I never loved anyone.

982
01:25:22,367 --> 01:25:24,428
I hate temporary things.

983
01:25:24,538 --> 01:25:29,134
I know life well,
that everyone betrays everyone else.

984
01:25:29,645 --> 01:25:32,671
But it will be different
with you and me.

985
01:25:32,903 --> 01:25:35,633
We'll never be apart,
not even for a single hour.

986
01:25:36,414 --> 01:25:39,645
I don't work,
and I have no obligations in life.

987
01:25:40,181 --> 01:25:42,741
You will be my sole preoccupation.

988
01:25:43,183 --> 01:25:48,521
I understand this is all too sudden
for you to say yes right away,

989
01:25:48,610 --> 01:25:51,340
and that you need time to sever
the temporary ties

990
01:25:51,452 --> 01:25:54,353
that bind you to temporary people.

991
01:25:55,411 --> 01:25:57,743
I am definitive.

992
01:26:03,392 --> 01:26:05,189
I am very happy.

993
01:26:09,075 --> 01:26:11,543
That man is crazy!

994
01:26:12,875 --> 01:26:14,706
Yes, I'm sure he is.
