Fergusson, don't be an idiot !
We know you're in there !
Surrender. Think of your mother.
I don't have a mother.
- Then your father.
- I don't have a father either.
- Your sister.
- Not a sister, either.
- Your aunt.
- No aunt.
Think about what you want, but come
out with your hands to heaven !
I don't know how to think about hell
or heaven, just killing and dying !
Here I am, cops !
Seven, eight... One, two.
What the hell is he doing ?
Stop ! Is he mad ?
Even scums now dare do crazy things !
- Calm down.
- Tell him to get lost !
Sorry. He thought he was doing
something nice.
- It was an idea.
- You get lost too !
In police films, he is professionaI.
After 30 films...
After 30 films, he still hasn't
been successfuI !
Is it possible
he starts dancing like Gene Kelly
in ''Singing in the Rain'' ?
- That was James Cagney.
- I'll stick him to my balls.
And to James Cagney's balls,
But I can't stick an agent Iike you
to his balls
- because he doesn't have any !
- Do you want to see them ?
Show them to your sister !
Why are they so low ?
You should have them under your chin
because you're a cock face !
Get out ! Go on, get out !
Go away !
Piselleschi, another one !
I thought that in inventing
my death,
he wouId understand that death
is not to be underestimated.
Dangerous actions, especially
when you do them without telling me.
As your agent I must know how you
want to ruin yourself and me.
You can't throw away a fortune.
What fortune ?
Your body.
A body in cinema is important.
It's everything.
But one must know how to expIoit it.
You need a bright director,
not one like Hungry Dog.
You are my agent. Find one.
I already did.
- Who is he ?
That's natural.
Critics, urged on by competition,
ignore his fiIms.
- Let me see.
- What're you doing ? It's a mole.
- What type of films does he make ?
- Suited to masses, easy.
But for a cuItured
and refined audience.
BeIow a superficial simplicity,
there are messages, meanings,
transfigurations,
profane impIications.
Bergman is Ridolini
compared to him.
- Oh, sh*t.
- Right.
Didn't you want to be an artist ?
This is your chance.
This is the address.
Go and tell him I sent you.
You're not an agent,
you're a friend, a brother.
- How can I thank you ?
- Give me 30% .
- Okay. I'll run to big Woody.
- Stop !
I caII him that, but for you
he is Woudruf Vandenberg Scott.
- What is your name ?
- What ?
- What is your name ?
- Bruno Martel.
- It was a pIeasure.
I didn't want to offend you, but
to take care of your human problem.
- It's taken care of. I don't exist.
- But you want to exist.
- Yes.
- For yourseIf or for others ?
- For others.
- You want to satisfy the audience.
What biggest desire, than continued
unsatisfied sex, haunts man ?
From your words, I notice
the typicaI perpIexity of orphans.
You guessed. As a Frenchman,
I onIy know Nouvelle vague.
Nouvelle vague has become an oId
wave that, upon drawing back,
has left crabs, shrimps,
suffocating fish, chamber pots and...
- And shitfaces !
- I understand.
Show me I am wrong.
I propose a dilemma.
Has art become pornography
or has pornography become art ?
Did you ever ask yourseIf ?
Yes, but why must I be a pioneer
of pornographic art ?
If we'd already be at a point
where the critics say,
''Liv Ullmann's bIow job comes
from a good school.''
''De Niro carried out his
jerk off with extreme vigor.''
''Jane Fonda's ass is very
communicative in the finaI scene''.
If we had come to this,
I'd show more enthusiasm.
My boy, I wouId write up Laurence
OIivier if that were the case,
- not an unknown like you.
- The producer.
- Martel.
- Hello.
Our product is the onIy serious
Without looking for other things.
Here is the money
and here is your performance.
No probIem.
You seem okay to me.
Sorry, but I didn't understand.
What film are you taIking about ?
What is my part ?
We'll see during the screen test.
Do what you do in life.
Then you'll thank me.
- Do so naturally.
- I see, a pornographic film.
One ? Two, three !
Until you resist.
We assure you a future.
We'll wait for events to take place
and then sign a contract.
I don't do it for money,
but for need.
How much ?
Pull out the merchandize.
- What ?
- Show your dick.
If I don't see the merchandize,
how can I estabIish the vaIue ?
- Actually...
- Come on. Down with your trousers !
Hurry up.
How tiresome !
- What a knock out !
- Not bad.
Is your erection difficuIt, easy,
resistant... How is it ?
There's no problem.
San Pancrazio from Portobello, save
us from the lighting of this bird.
Saint Veronica from BatacIava, save
us from the earthquake of this dick.
- Miracle !
- Holy, sh*t. How do you do it ?
It's a secret.
A star is born !
I wiII be your pygmaIion !
- Morgana, I am too nervous.
- Anne, it's over in a haIf hour.
You are a professionaI.
- Hey, get out of there !
- It's you !
- What're you doing here ?
The worId is rotten,
but sooner or Iater it pays back.
- Did you sign a new contract ?
- I'm full of money.
- We'II spend it together tonight.
- Get the hell out of here !
I have a gift for you.
- What is it ?
- Open it. You'll see.
WiII you get the hell out of here
or not ?
- You coming to the producer too ?
- I'm tired.
- I posed an hour.
- I said ''posed''.
- Oh, ''rose'' !
I rose too, but I'm not tired.
I am, if you want
to pIay with fire.
No, not tonight.
I need tenderness.
- Did you Iike the gift ?
- What gift ?
I forgot it on the set !
What was it ?
It's as if I brought you
a piece of sh*t instead of a gift.
You didn't even Iook at it.
Thanks.
Why did you give it to me ?
- It's not the first time.
- It's Iike a pay back this time.
- That's not so.
- Then why are you compIaining ?
For everything.
I am tired of your hero attitude.
- You're a shitface who thinks...
Shitfaces are like cherries,
one leads to another.
Can't you see I have a Iife
of my own and am satisfied ?
I don't give a darn about
the buIIshit you do,
about your shitty career,
about your crisis that you soIve
in being disappointed with Iife.
These amazing thighs beIong to
the Lumiere brothers,
the pioneers of cinema.
They're all pigs,
but you are the worst.
Bergman is Ridolini compared !
Thanks.
It's a good deaI.
Here are the two Iead roIes.
Bruno MarteI... Come.
And Doris Falci.
Falci, Martel,
Doris, get to know him, so you
will be more credibIe on the set.
Good girI.
She is a virgin. That is, the first
time she gives it away on the set.
Doris, we'll do enormous
things together.
He is right.
It is important that I Iike you.
I can't do it against my will.
