Almost Peaceful Page #6

Fantastic! Nothing's more charming

than a naughty boy.

Thanks, I'll be off.

I told you that I had

no pleasant memories.

I think I'm making myself one now.

And I have to think

something pleasant can happen?

I don't now, Maurice,

that's your problem.

Know what, Maurice?

I think I'll be almost hungry soon.

You get your prizes

at that table there.

There's a fishing game for children

and a casino for grown-ups.

Your Albert's kind.

He's a good man.

And serious too.

Maybe a bit too serious.

Don't you find men more attractive

with women around them?

They're brighter and livelier.

A serious man

has his good points too.

And you're a serious woman,

that's obvious.

Don't count on that.

What about Maurice?

I don't think it will last.

Nor does he.

It's not easy

with all he's been through.

You weren't in the camps?

I dropped a clanger with Maurice.

so I'm wary now.

No, nor was Albert.

Charles was though.

Charles is the one sitting alone?

Yes.

Maurice and I keep each other warm,

we get on well.

The coconut shy...

What a massacre.

Schlimazel!

Go and sit with the others.

You've scored.

Go on, have fun!

Show your true self,

not your serious side.

Interested in photography?

Want to try?

Yes, I'd like to.

No, leave your hair.

It suits you.

You're too hot.

Slip your jack off.

Prettily, keep it feminine.

Don't look at me, look at the boy.

Now smile, caress your mouth,

pensively...

You're thinking,

sigh, stick your bust out,

you understand?

Want to carry on?

Lower your hand to your bosom,

linger over the breast,

try to get the nipple hard,

and look absorbed.

Have you seen your wife?

She's beautiful!

The countryside suits her.

Living gives you an appetite!

What is it?

Pastrami.

My first pastrami sandwich.

How about a toast to that?

"The Rose and the Reseda"

by Louis Aragon.

"The one who believed

in heaven"

"The one who didn't believe"

"Both loved the beauty

Held prisoner by the guards"

"One climbed the ladder

The other waited below"

- "The one who believed in heaven"

- "The one who didn't believe"

"Both were faithful to her

With lips, heart and arms"

"And both said let her live,

What will be will be"

- "The one who believed in heaven"

- "The one who didn't believe"

'When hail strikes the wheat,

All delicacy is madness"

"Madness lies in quarrelling

Within the common fight"

"The one who believed in heaven"

"The one who didn't believe"

From the castle keep,

The sentry fired"

"Twice and one staggered,

The other fell and died"

"The one who believed in heaven"

"The one who didn't believe"

"In the cruel dawn,

They pass away"

- "The one who believed in heaven"

- "The one who didn't believe"

"Repeating the name

Of she whom they never betrayed"

"And their blood flows,

Bright red from both"

- "The one who believed in heaven"

- "The one who didn't believe"

"It flows and flows,

Feeding the earth he loved"

'So, in the new season,

Muscat grapes may ripen"

"And raspberries and plums

The cricket will sing"

"Flute and cello sing

Of the dual love that burned"

"The lark and the swallow"

"The rose and the reseda"

David meet Joseph, the schlimazel

in my father's workshop.

That's worse than clumsy.

Joseph,

meet David.

Can I listen too?

David's been here

since his father went away.

He was tiny.

Before he left,

his father gave him his watch

and showed him how to wind it.

David has wound it

every nigh since

and he has never let it stop.

It works very well.

It's beautiful too.

Thank you.

Betty, are you coming

with Georges and Raphael?

- Coming, Kid?

- His name's David.

Coming, David?

See, my sweet love,

this is our life.

Charles, I wanted to ask you...

Do you think Madame Sarah

would show my photo around?

Go on!

That's your answer.

Hello, Madame.

I'd like some paper.

To write something.

Have a seat, if you want.

I have to go out.

To stay here with the children,

what do I need to do?

You have to want to. And ask to.

I want to. And I'm asking.

We'll see.

Okay, David?
