Everyone is afraid.

I am, but I know it.

But I can expIain

why you are afraid.

- I don't give a damn anymore.

- You shouId know.

Look here.

This is a scaIe,

a scaIe of vaIues.

Here there is everything

that you think is necessary.

In the Iower section are the vaIues

that interest you,

and you don't know that on top

are vaIues that count most of all.

When you are deprived of them,

you get angry

and your pride is hurt,

and when the chain is broken

for a moment

you feeI the cIean air.

A vaIue that gives man dignity

and you enjoy as a memory

of the goIden age

when there were no judges or

accused, guiIty or innocent,

and animaIs and men Ioved one

another, didn't destroy one another.

On the Iast step is freedom.

For it, one must be abIe to scream,

to be desperate, desire, kill !

- Kill !

- Even kill ?

Yes. Life is not a vaIue in itseIf.

It depends on how you Iive it.

If you can no Ionger hope,

you can onIy shoot !

- Shoot. Shoot !

- Shoot. Shoot.

Shoot ! Yes, shoot !

Untie your beIts and don't forget

personaI beIongings.

The exit is at gate 5. Thank you.

With all respect to minorities,

I have nothing to do with

the fags of the Turk bath.

- Who asked you ?

Profession, motion picture actor.

Press charges.

It's true. It's not credibIe.

Nobody will beIieve it.

How can peopIe beIieve

bullshit Iike this ?

A person Iike this does not exist,

not even in a fiIm.

That's what the producers say

when they want to interfere

in the script.

But I'm not a script.

You are not a producer,

and you can't manipuIate me.

You want to insuIt me ?

Speak cIearIy.

Come on. Say I am a shitface.

Come on, speak !

I am tired of your hero attitude.

It's over !

She found out.

Are you caIIing your husband now ?

No, my agent. He has to advise the

production. Maybe they are worried.

I am curious to know

what the hell kind of fiIm it is.

I convinced him to give me

baiI money.

Next time you will stay inside.

- Who did you convince ?

- Your producer.

He Iet you out, otherwise

what shitfaces wouId work today ?

Don't say it or he'll beIieve it.

You're joking. MeanwhiIe he'll take

that money from your pay.

- AIain DeIon does.

But what he does is pubIicity,

and what you do is bullshit.

The john isn't dirty enough.

Away with toiIet paper. I want smell

Otherwise it will be a scene

without psychoIogicaI finesse.

Nuances my ass !

The girI goes into the bathroom,

He screws her from the front, him

You must Iet me work.

You'll ruin everything Iike that.

- I don't know what to think.

I'll tell you what you have

Terror creates excitement in man.

PIeading creates lust.

You must give Bruno and the spectator
