before the weather breaks.
- Come for the no fireworks!
- Come!
Will you come?
Paul's got to score lenses. You go free!
We can lend you the Mehari,
so you can join us later.
Oh, very kind of you!
(SQUEALS HAPPILY)
(CAR DOOR SHUTS
AND ENGINE STARTS)
- (DOOR OPENS)
- (PAUL) Hey, I just spoke to Robin.
I'm on Kossakowski's shortlist
for his documentary.
(WHISPERS) No!
You want to choose a dress for me?
(HARRY CHATTING OUTSIDE)
(HARRY SINGS
INDISTINCTLY OUTSIDE)
(INDISTINCT CHATTERING OUTSIDE)
(WHISPERS) It's a bit plain.
(PAUL WHISPERS) Very charming.
Now, promise me, no talking tonight.
(SYLVIE) Some are
on the island now, hiding.
Last year, one of the boats was spotted
and the smugglers just threw
everybody overboard to try to flee,
whilst the coastguards
did the rescues.
(MIREILLE) But the goal, of course, is
France. A lot of them have family there.
- (SYLVIE) There you go, Tunisia.
- (MIREILLE) Tunisia.
(HARRY) Ah.
You can smell the jasmine from here.
(SYLVIE) Oh, guys it has already started.
(HARRY) Try to behave, my angel!
(MIREILLE) Yes!
(HARRY) I was talking to my daughter,
but you can be an angel, too.
- (SYLVIE) I'll be your angel.
- (CHUCKLING)
(BRASS BAND PLAYS)
A drink without guilt. (CHUCKLES)
Now, frankly,
it's sentimental to think
you can help Paul
by not drinking in front of him,
or not talking about it for that matter.
Come on, it was a year ago.
I mean, if he can't even hear
the subject mentioned,
you don't have to go kicking over glasses
and it's just ridiculous.
And people talk about addiction,
they talk about suicide. It happens.
You know, I doubt
he wanted to kill himself anyway.
If you ask me, he wanted
to kill the whole world, Marianne.
- (SIGHS)
- Yeah, come on.
I mean, we both know him.
It's misdirection.
That's what they call it.
A case of psychic misdirection.
Anyway, sorry.
You both look great together.
He takes very good care of you. No,
I mean it. He does. You look fantastic.
You both look amazing.
Wonderful, wonderful to see you.
And you know,
this invalid thing, it suits you.
Yeah, no it does,
'cause the roles are reversed
and Paul can nurse you for a change.
Oh, come on, I didn't mean it like that.
F***. Okay! Okay! (CHUCKLES)
All right, all right, all right.
Nice dress, nice dress!
(GIRL) Of course. Yeah.
I'll see you, yes?
(GIRL) Bye, see you.
(PENELOPE)
You were my hero until just now.
Yeah, I'm sorry I couldn't stay away.
You all right?
(PENELOPE) She was just boring
the life out of me is all.
- You didn't look bored.
- Yes, I know. Thank you.
My trouble is that I fall in love
That sounds paralysing.
Try not to frighten the horses.
I always loved you saying that.
It was always funny to me, 'cause you
always frightened the f***ing horses.
You, whereas with Paul...
(SIGHS)
What's the point of Paul
in your life now?
I was angry with you.
Yeah, I know I was slutting around,
but you took everything so hard
and now look what I've done.
I've... (CHUCKLES)
thrown you this square.
Yeah, he's square, Marianne.
He's a square bear.
He's all cuddly and built
for hibernating with and he stuck.
(CROAKS) I will always be
grateful to you for Paul.
How are you dealing with this? Mm?
(CHUCKLES)
What if it doesn't come back?
(SIGHS)
You know, it might not come back.
It's your f***ing life!
Your voice is your f***ing life!
Bet that you'll just reinvent
yourself again, won't you?
Is wearing your mother's clothes,
is that reinvention?
I don't think so. Anyway, I suppose
you'll have your mummy phase
and I have my daddy phase.
But one way or another we're just going
to grow old together, aren't we?
(WHISPERS) I'm happy, Harry.
Can't you stand that?
Would you think I was being ingratiating
if I said I wanted to make documentaries?
Just pick up a camera and go film
the kids in Mansoura or something.
Oh, have you been there?
- I wouldn't let that stop me.
- Well, you want some advice?
- Why? Because I'm a girl?
- No.
No, you should definitely go to Mansoura,
or Detroit, whatever moves you.
Just don't do it the Harry way.
Just lay low, keep your mouth shut.
You know, don't take a camera.
Go empty-handed, seriously.
You'll humiliate yourself any other way,
trust me. I know everything about it.
All right. I'm not afraid of that.
Do you want some?
- No. I don't smoke.
- Doesn't mean you don't want some.
Yes, it does.
You must have been really desperate
to crash your car like that.
Excuse me?
He said you were shot out of it,
really far...
and you didn't leave a note or anything.
That's what he said?
He thinks it's the most
interesting thing you've done.
He thinks you're too conceited
to stand being addicted to anything.
I'm guessing he's talking about drinking.
(CHUCKLES)
Are you waiting for
a reaction or something?
Don't waste your time.
...And now let's play Piata!
(CHEERING)
Go right, go right...
Go!
(CHEERING)
Well done, Francesco!
Well done!
(WALTZ STYLE FOLK MUSIC PLAYS)
And next up is...
Good evening!
- Thanks for the table.
- You're welcome!
That's the guy who gave us the table.
Come on! Let's perch over here.
When did we last do this?
How many years ago?
When we were innocent babes.
Come on! Come on!
Oh, f***, there's nobody here.
Good evening.
We don't have available tables.
- What do you have?
- Karaoke.
Karaoke?!
Oh, no, he says the screen is broken.
Oh, f***.
Can I have a glass of sparkling water?
Find something we'd be
embarrassed to sing anywhere else.
(CHUCKLES)
Come.
Come here. Okay!
(SIGHS)
Mm. Okay.
I'm the brightest star you know
I'm Miss Manhattan
In my hands, your body and soul
(WHOOPING)
(WHISPERS)
Come, come, come to me
Come, come, come to me
Direction NYC
Come, come, come to me
Come, come, come to me
Direction NYC
(WHOOPING)
(CROWD CHANT) Marianne! Marianne!
Marianne! Marianne!
Marianne! Marianne! Marianne!
Marianne! Marianne!
Sometimes I stay out late
Yeah, I'm having fun
Yes, I guess you know by now
That you ain't the only one
Oh, baby
Sweet things
That you promised me, babe
Seem to go up in smoke
Yeah, vanish like a dream
'Cause I'm worried
I just can't seem to find my way
Woo!
Oh, the nights I spend...
My daughter...
(CHEERING)
Come on!
- Unforgettable
- (CHUCKLES)
In every way
(MAN) Can I have her after
you're finished with her, Daddy?
And forevermore
And forevermore
That's how you'll stay
That's how you'll stay
That's why, darling
It's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am
Unforgettable, too
(GIGGLES)
- Daddy!
- (CHEERING)
(HARRY) You're the best thing
that ever happened to me.
(CROWD CHANTING) Marianne!
Marianne! Marianne!
(GUITAR CHORDS)
(CHEERING)
(CROWD CHANTING) Marianne!
