A View of Love Page #2

Lsn't it beautiful?

Just imagine a garden like that.

It has everything.

Trees, color...

Fennel.

Fennel in abundance.

I can't live without fennel.

I'll show you.

If you buy, l'll show you everything.

We'll get it started.

It does this sometimes.

lt's getting old.

Your parents still alive?

Myfather.

I thought he'd stay on

after independence.

I'd never met people like you,

who thought that way.

I was always a bit afraid foryou.

Evening, Marc.

Evening, sir.

You're dead!

Who is this?

You and your Arab friends!

Leave Algeria alone, commie bastard?

You're dead!

Sh*t!

In the doghouse?

You're serving dinner?

Of course.

You wanted a shower?

I went for a swim.

It was chilly.

You'll have to take a room.

Fine.

See if n"4's ready.

Can I use the phone?

On the bar. Dial direct.

Follow me, ma'am.

Hi, Manouche.

Is Mommythere?

No, don't bother her.

L'm dining in Cassis with my client.

He's a tough nut.

Tell her not to wait up,

l'll be late.

Lots of love.

You hurt yourself?

Yes, at the beach.

You always had that?

Stay some more.

The guy who ran the store...

Fuentes.

Yes...

That was it, Ithink.

Fuentes.

Princess, my happiness depends on you

Your father has chosen a groom...

Iphigenia.

Ac:
3,

scene 4.

There you'll claim my heart

that brims with love

My lord,

the time has not yet come to go

The Queen will grant that I dare ask

For proof of your love

that I must have

Allow me to introduce a young princess

Marie-Jeanne!

Heaven with nobility

her head has blessed

Ladies and gentlemen!

Evacuate the hall!

The area's shut down!

Get in! Quickly!

We had no more classes.

The army had requisitioned the schools.

What else?

Oh yes...

We watched a film with Darry Cowl

playing a delivery boy.

We all lived on the same street.

You were on the 2nd floor.

I rememberyour mother.

She was very pretty.

She had a wool coat

with a white collar.

She got it out every Christmas.

She complained there were no winters.

One time,

we went to the beach.

There was this Arab guy

where he wasn't supposed to be.

Some guys went after him.

I think he got Iynched.

I can't have been there.

Yes, you were.

I don't remember.

We all have different memories.

We lost touch

and now here we are.

It's late.

Can you drop me at Orgon?

Why Orgon?

Is it better foryou?

I have people to see on the coast.

For work?

Yes.

Partly.

There are no signs.

When your husband died,

you'd been separated long?

Awhile.

When was it?

Five years ago.

L've moved. l'm between apartments.

Is this the right road?

Marc! My love...

F***!

Sh*t!

Cathy?

Here I am.

Can you take us to Orgon?

You're sure this is okay?

Fine. You can go.

Okay...

See you the 23rd.

Why the 23rd?

You're signing

the preliminary contract.

Oh yeah...

You have a number where I can call you?

An address or...

No. The 23rd.

Alright, let's go, sir!

We'll take that.

We'll leave that.

Take that.

And that.

Is this box going?

Yes.

Marc, what are you doing?

Get dressed.

We're going.

Cathy!

Stop that!

Marie-Jeanne!

I'll be back.

Tell her!

Tell her l'll be back!

I can see ayacht.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we'll be arriving in Malaga

at 3 p.m. local time.

Do you like my drawing?

Yes! lt's amazing!

Lsn't her head a bit big?

Your mother seems fine.

She's alert, she's all there.

Today, she's fine.

Yesterday wasn't so good.

It's her bridge club.

She never forgets that.

We went to Madrid last month.

She went round the Prado on her own,

no problem.

See you down there?

Maybe.

Am I wearing too much make-up?

No.

Somebody said

I had too much make-up on.

You Iookfine.

Do you want a nap?

Know who I heard about the other day?

Cathy.

Cathy Rivet.

You remember her?

Yes.

The girl who lived opposite.

You remember?

Her father was a teacher.

She's dead.

The little girl's dead.

I saw her.

I promise you.

Of course she isn't!

When?

She was killed in a bombing.

When?

Just after we left.

Shortly afterwards.

Who told you?

We found out.

It's not true.

Ask Ghislaine.

How would Ghislaine know?

Why shouldn't I know?

You were so fond of her.

We didn't want to hurt you.

Bullshit!

Why wouldn't I have known?

You were so sad about leaving.

I was sad?

You stopped talking.

We were at a loss.

Forget it, it won't change anything.

I have to get ready.

They're waiting for me at the club.

You must be wrong. I met her.

I saw her.

Who?

Don't take it like that.

I think she is dead.

Actually, l'm sure she is.

Her parents were pro-independence.

At the end, it was avv'ful.

We'd just left.

I remember her clearly.

She lived across the street.

A little blonde.

You're both nuts.

Manouche, we're going!

Lt's foryou.

The garage.

He hung up.

You get your car back today?

Supposedly.

What day is it again?

The 23rd.

The Marbella photos are great.

I look strange.

Your mom and sis

are like a married couple.

L've gotta go.

- l'll drive you. We're ready.

-I called a cab.

Have you met my son-in-law?

Mr. Arnoux's a lawyer.

Mr. Vaskine and Mr. Alqui.

- Passing by?

- Yes.

Have a coffee.

- Going to see the Bruix place?

- No.

What time is it?

-You're sure she's coming?

- She'll be here.

We're signing with Mrs. Mandonato.

The preliminary contract

on the Vintignires house.

- She's hardly even late.

- Traffic's bad into town.

She's coming by cab?

My partner's picking her up

at the airport.

A coffee, please.

You've taken overfrom Mr. Bastistelli?

I knew him well. A lovely man.

He's retired, but he's not far.

He moved to Salon de Provence.

Salon? Right...

Not late, am I?

Lthinkwe're all here.

We were taking a break.

The office is right there.

- Do you want a drink?

- No, thanks.

Take care of the check.

I booked us into Bodin for lunch.

Join us.

- Found a spot?

- In the parking lot.

L'll walk with you to the office.

You're staying over tonight?

Yes, I want to take it easy.

Do you know the woman?

Who?

Mandonato.

Robert asked me to pick her up

on the way from Marseille.

What about her company?

I put some feelers out.

It sounds solid.

You talked to her?

Why?

She didn't say much.

She dozed in the car.

Sign here.

The guys who skedaddled in '81,

started putting their money into wine.

The local vineyards rocketed in price.

It didn't last long.

You never signed the book.

I visited the Brignolles vineyard.

Didn't some Swedes buy it?

Yes, a Swedish tobacco firm.

You should sign, too.

You were tempted to branch out?

I considered it.

Lt's high-risk, very competitive.

You need to know wine.

More than anything else,

wine is a passion.

An obsession.

You're left-handed?

Yes.

I read somewhere

that left-handed women are more...

More what? Intelligent.

Or sexy...

I don't remember.

Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen.

Your car's ready.

Do you want us to drive it over?

If that's okay.

No problem.

Sorry, goodbye.

That must be your first ever accident.

Yes, you're right.

The boy can do no wrong.

He inspires trust.
