A World Without Women

---

Well... uh...

Want me to try?

It must be one of them.

Well...

Let me try.

You'll see, it's really beautiful.

Bravo!

I don't know why it didn't work.

Well... welcome aboard.

Go on in.

It's beautiful.

Nicer than Corsica, isn't it?

It really is beautiful.

It's delightful.

Thanks.

There are clean sheets and towels

in the bedroom cupboard.

OK.

The TV works.

Great.

Juliette, look.

Hey lucky, you've got

a lovely single bed.

You can have it.

Take the bottom one.

The top one's got slats missing.

You might fall through!

Just kidding.

Is there internet?

No, but if you need it

I live nearby

and I have it.

Just drop in or give me a call.

We don't want to bother you.

It's no bother. I'd like it.

Are you from Paris?

Yes.

Well, close... Asnires.

I know the Porte de Champerret well.

The Rue Guillaume Tell,

Boulevard Berthier...

What a coincidence!

I take the bus there every day.

How funny.

Well...

A WORLD WITHOUT WOMEN

Good morning.

Are you OK?

Yeah, and you?

Hello, ladies.

Hello.

Are you rounding us up?

- Don't be scared.

- We're not scared.

I'll save you wasting your time.

We don't like men.

Are you dykes?

Yep, sorry.

Mum, that's disgusting!

- No way!

- She's her old mare!

Old mare? The old mare

and the 3 virgins, then.

One of the 3 virgins

likes to experiment.

Are you from round here?

No, we're not.

So you don't know the area?

Fancy coming for a drink tonight?

- In a local club.

- No, thanks.

No, no...

I'm here with my other half.

What other half?

My husband.

- You're married?

- Yes.

Where is he, then?

Over there, watching.

He's the jealous type, so...

He doesn't need to know.

I'm jealous.

Plenty more fish in the sea.

Yes, but I've got a looker.

He's over there.

- Him?

- Yes.

I'm disappointed.

Really.

- Hi.

- Hello.

I'm Sylvain.

Geoffrey.

Hello.

Do you know each other?

No, but they were offering

to take us for a drink.

I said you wouldn't like that.

You being jealous and all.

No, that's no problem.

Are you really a couple?

No.

They're taking the piss, let's go.

F***ers!

They're not even fuckable!

Hey, cut it out!

Well, goodbye.

They're really aggressive.

You ruined our chances there.

Hello, Sylvain.

- Sunning yourself?

- Yes.

How are you?

It's warm. What's new?

Nothing special.

How's Julien?

He's signed another

short-term contract. His third.

- No?

- At 28 it's getting to be a joke.

Anyway,

it won't get him a girlfriend.

Have you got a euro?

For my scratch card.

Here.

Sorry.

We weren't too long, were we?

- Hello.

- You really are sweet.

My friend Marie.

Patricia, Juliette.

- Please to meet you.

- Hello.

We were having a chin wag in the sun.

Well... I'll leave you to your friends.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Everyone knows everyone here.

Push in a straight line,

with this on your stomach.

Like this.

Try it, you'll see.

Lift vertically, not as with a flag.

Like that.

Go on, push. Go on.

That way, that way...

Look ahead, keep up straight.

Keep walking.

- I trod on something.

- Let me see.

It was probably a crab.

- Caught much?

- Yes.

Ladies, you mustn't talk

to men like him.

He's a psycho.

He's already raped loads of girls.

Give over!

Going to introduce me?

Gilles... Patricia... Juliette...

Gilles.

Are you sisters?

I wish.

I'm sure you don't look

your age, anyway.

Thanks.

Friends of Sylvain's?

No. Well... yes.

We just met.

Are you here for a while?

Till the end of the week.

We're going that way,

looking for shrimp.

OK, see you soon.

Enjoy the fishing.

Bye.

Look straight ahead.

It's not easy.

We didn't keep you waiting, did we?

No, no worries.

I had trouble waking up

this morning.

What about you?

Watch the doors.

There we go.

The colour suits you.

- I like it.

- Really soft, isn't it?

What do you think?

Perfect.

- Really?

- Yes. Right?

Very handsome.

I agree with the lady.

Does it make me look fat?

- Not at all.

- A bit, here.

No, you look handsome.

Hang on. Just let me...

- Yeah, that's perfect.

- You think so?

You'll get lucky!

- Not like a pizza delivery boy?

- Not at all.

You look like a... tennis player.

- Do you like this colour?

- Yeah.

- Green.

- And what about blue?

- Let me see!

- Yeah, blue too.

That looks nice.

Even classier.

Polo shirts suit me.

They really do.

No kidding.

Well... Since your friends are so nice,

if I may say so, and you are too,

gentle and kind,

I'll do you the blue, the green

and the red - which looks so good -

for the price of two.

- Really?

Thanks.

You're very nice.

Do a boardwalk in that polo shirt.

Swagger a bit.

- Boardwalk?

- Yes, along the boardwalk.

Cool!

He's had an idea.

No.

An apple?

An apple hit him on the head?

Newton!

Right!

Nice one, because...

My go.

Sh*t!

OK, got it.

OK, start the clock.

Hang on...

Cowboys.

Yep, and Indians.

John Wayne.

No.

You're cheating, stop talking.

The country.

- America.

- Right.

Where are we now?

- Stop talking.

- In Ault.

- In a house.

- Yes. The colours?

- White.

- Yes!

White...

- A president...

- Yes.

Carla Bruni.

Marilyn Monroe...

Churchill...

Kennedy?

- Yes, Marilyn Monroe!

- No.

Clinton. It's Clinton.

Well done.

Why?

Yes, it's Clinton...

Never mind.

Sylvain, your glass is empty.

No, thanks, I've had too much.

I have a few health problems.

Really?

You have lovely eyes.

It's true, you really look at people.

That's rare.

Come on, join me.

I don't want to drink alone.

No, no...

Don't you think you've had enough?

Now wait a f***ing minute!

What's with you?

Don't talk to me like that.

I'm on holiday,

I'm allowed some fun.

Don't bore me

with your holier-than-thou attitude.

You can go away

on your own next year.

Where are you going?

I don't know.

It's getting late.

No, but...

No, wait.

We bicker all the time,

it's not serious.

We're used to it.

Don't you want to turn in?

No, I'm not at all tired.

Let's go dancing.

I'm not a very good dancer.

Me neither.

Who cares?

We can just have a laugh.

Just for fun.

Is there a nightclub?

There is, but it's closed.

When is it open?

Friday and Saturday.

- Shall we go on Friday?

- My turn.

OK, we'll go on Friday.

Sit down.

Go and sit down.

Come on!

You can cheat like your mum.

A woman.

- Sophia Loren?

- No.

- Bill Clinton?

- No, no...

A woman?

Monica thingy.

A seal?

- A chicken?

- No, it's not a chicken.

- A turkey?

- Almost.

A hen?

A cock? A rabbit?

No, it's not an animal.

A female turkey?

I don't get it.

- The Virgin Mary!

- No.

What... me?

That's disgusting.

Was that me laughing?

Nice!

Do I sound like a turkey?

Thanks!

It's quite a good likeness, really.

Goodnight, Sylvain.

We can't go in?

It's a pity.

I wanted to show you inside.

There are big rooms

with wooden beams, long corridors...

They had to board it up

because of a squatter.

- Really?

- Yes.

I bet that was nice.

A bit like having

a manor to yourself.

Not so nice living alone in there.
