SCENE 59 - INT. ADJOINING ROOM - KITCHEN - NIGHT

From the adjoining room, we see Georges seated at the kitchen

table, writing. Finally we see what he is writing:

... you won't believe it. A pigeon came in, for the second

time already, through the light well. This time I caught it.

In fact it wasn’t difficult at all. But I set it free again.

I’m going to ...

SCENE 60 - INT. ADJOINING ROOM - KITCHEN - HALLWAY - DAY

66.

Georges is lying on his bed in the adjoining room, staring at

the ceiling. O.S., we faintly hear the SOUND of running

water, and from time to time the CLATTERING OF DISHES.

After a while, Georges gets up and goes into the kitchen.

He remains in the doorway and watches Anne who, doing the

dishes, at first doesn’t pay attention to him, then notices

his presence and shoots him a quick glance, saying casually:

ANNE:

I’m almost done.

Georges continues to look at her unwaveringly.

ANNE’S VOICE

You can put your shoes on if you

want.

Georges looks at her an instant longer, passes beside her,

goes into the hallway, sits down on a stool beside the closet

and puts on his shoes. O.S. we hear Anne finishing her work.

She comes out, hangs up her apron in the closet, disappears

for a few moments into the bathroom. Meanwhile, Georges has

got up, and looks in the bathroom where, clearly, Anne is

tidying her hair and sprucing herself up. When she comes out

again, he takes her coat from the closet and helps her put it

on.

ANNE:

Thanks.

They head for the front door.

ANNE (CONT’D)

Aren't you taking a coat?

Georges thinks a few seconds, then takes his trench-coat from

the hook and they leave the apartment.

SCENE 61 - INT. HALLWAY - BEDROOM - DINING ROOM - LIVING ROOM

-DAY

Four long shots:
all the windows are open. The sun is

shining. It is fairly bright.

Hallway.

SILENCE. Then the SOUND OF A LOCK BEING OPENED. Eva comes

into the apartment. Remains a long time beside the door.

Looks around her, ill at ease. Finally she hesitantly goes

into the bedroom.

67.

Anne's twin bed isn’t there any more. On Georges’ bed lies

only the bare mattress. Eva remains there a moment, then goes

through the partition door into the dining room.

There, everything is as usual. Eva continues into the living

room.

There too, everything is as usual. Eva stops by the piano

stool. Looks out of the window, feeling at a loss. Then she

heads toward the sofa and armchairs in the corner. On the

table lie the remains of a snack. Eva looks at the table,

turns again toward the open windows, through which we hear

STREET NOISE. Then she sits down, exhausted, in one of the

armchairs. Her diminutive frame seems lost in the big room.
