Angel-A Page #7

I should stop complaining.

Why are you smiling?

Because you're so gullible...

You believed that.

Ah?

That wasn't true?

Nah...

No.

I'm a rich girl from New Jersey.

Daddy used to work for the U.N.

And mummy was working

to bring people together...

...by being humped by all the males

she could find at cocktail parties.

On my 16th birthday,

I got my first Ferrari.

And I smashed it in

the first fall I met.

Just so that my father

would notice me...

...at least at my funeral.

I'm lost, now...

Which was your life?

Which one makes your

own easier to endure?

I don't know.

I can make up a thousand of lives.

But yours will still be the same.

You'll have to accept it.

I...

I see what you mean, Angela.

And...

I'm working on it.

But still...

I want to know you.

Who were you?

Before...

I don't know who I am.

How can't you know?

You come from the sky.

You're in the best position to know...

We can't access our past.

It's top secret data.

Really?

That gotta suck.

Are my questions bothering you?

No.

You're interested in me.

That means you're getting

interested in you.

I'm not really interesting.

Of course you are!

You're good looking, smart...

Stop making fun of me.

You are!

I tell you!

It's all inside. But you don't see it.

You can't pull it out.

I'm trying.

I know...

But it's not easy.

Yes it's easy!

Come, I'll show you!

Look in the mirror!

What do you see?

Look in the mirror...

What do you see?

I see...

A wonderful girl.

Thank you. And next to her?

What do you see?

I don't know.

Good.

You're improving.

You think so?

Yes.

All you used to see

was a pile of crap.

Now, you don't see anything anymore.

It means you've cleaned up the place.

Now, we need to

fill that empty shell with something.

You can't leave it like that.

So, take a good look.

In front of you...

Isn't there anything you like,

in this beautiful face?

Not much, no...

Look carefully. In your eyes.

What do you see?

Some... some kindness?

Yes there is. A lot...

What else?

They're not too bad?

Beauty. That's right.

They are beautiful.

What else?

Maybe...

Some sweetness?

Yes.

Lots of it.

And love?

Yeah.

Lots of love, yes.

Too much, maybe.

If there's too much,

you need to get it out.

Tell me you love me.

Come again?

Don't you love me?

I do.

A lot.

I mean...

I feel a kind of affection...

But maybe it's friendship, and...

Do you love me, or not?

Since the first day.

Since the first second.

Good.

Say it, then.

It's...

It's hard to say.

Do you know why?

No.

Because nobody ever told it to you.

Right?

It's difficult to love yourself,

when nobody shows you how.

Yes.

I love you, Andre.

Here you go.

You have received love.

Now you can give some away.

Go for it.

I love you, Angela.

Whatever your fist name...

You're right.

Say it again...

...without my name.

I love you.

Good.

Now, look at yourself in the eye

and say it.

I can't.

Of course you can.

Look at your body.

Bruised by the lack of love...

...of trust.

Don't you see it

deserves your attention?

So, don't reject this wounded body.

It has put up with you for so long...

...and never complained.

Tell him that he's important.

That he belongs here.

Give him what he deserves.

I love you... Andre.

I love you.

I am proud of you, Andre.

So? Can we get some food?

I'm hungry...

You're obsessed with food, aren't you?

Do you have an emotional problem?

Hey, that's my line!

You're right.

How are we going to pay the bill?

We'll wash the dishes...

It only worked in the Dark Ages.

They're going to call the cops.

And we'll end up in jail.

I have a 6 months suspended sentence.

I know where I'm...

Stop complaining, now.

Just enjoy.

The wine is good, isn't it?

What kind is it?

Chateau Cheval Blanc.

Cheval Blanc?

It's 1,000 Euros!

1,500

It was the most expensive.

It sucks.

This place sucks.

Being the most expensive

doesn't mean it's the best, Angela.

How would you know?

You deal in olive oil.

Yes, but I know a thing or two.

I...

I'm sure the menu has

some good little wines,

at very reasonable prices.

Look! Saint Chignon '98.

100 Euros. I'm sure it's good.

Sommelier!

Yes?

What are you doing?

Well... we're going to taste.

Can we have a Saint

Chignon '98, please?

Oh, of course.

It's almost at maturity right now.

It's a bit peppery, a little round.

It's a very good wine.

A very good choice.

It's my favourite.

Can we simply have half a bottle?

No, we only have liters, here.

You're crazy!

I swear... you're totally crazy.

You've had a hard day.

I'm trying to please you.

Is that your mission?

Pleasing me?

No. I'm supposed to teach you

the most things as

quickly as possible.

So that you give up

jumping from bridges.

If you intend to pay the bill

by doing dirty things

in the restroom...

...I won't wait for you at the bar.

I'm warning you.

What dirty stuff?

Don't act innocent... I was there,

behind the door. I've seen everything.

Have you seen...

or heard?

Angela?

What?

What're you doing?

Guess...

I don't want...

I don't want you do do this for me.

I thought you needed money.

Yes, I need it.

But I still have some morality left.

I thank you for it...

I appreciate the gesture...

But no, really.

No way you're doing this at all.

Come on...

It's nothing.

Yes, it's something!

Listen. Stop right now.

Ask this man to go back home.

Come out, right now!

Can't you give me a break,

so that I can finish? F***!

And what about Frank, then?

In his office...

What did you do?

You didn't do that!

No...

Just kidding.

What a relief...

But how did you get the money?

You can't have done that!

Which option would you rather have?

I'd rather go away.

For a single night, is that it?

Yes.

Good.

All done.

Do you have...

any luggage?

Yes. One item.

Right in front.

Feeling better?

Yeah, I'm fine...

Are you coming to bed?

No, I'm looking at the city.

It'll still be there tomorrow.

Come to bed.

Paris is beautiful.

I wasn't seeing anything.

I was blind like a bat.

Angela...

What?

I think I love you.

No you don't...

You're horny, that's all.

You're lacking affection.

So you're hanging on to

the first one you run into.

i. e:
me!

No, no... Really.

You make me feel good.

I love how you shake me up.

Without ever judging me.

It makes me happy.

It's been a while since

this happened to me.

It probably never did.

You want to f***, that's all.

No, I don't want to f***...

Actually, I do,

but that's not it.

It's stronger.

Warmer...

Oh la la!

You're waxing sentimental.

Come on, let's f***!

No no no! Stop that!

What are you doing? Hey!

Don't you like me?

Yes, yes... I do.

But I don't want to f***.

I'd like to make love.

But I'll only do it once I feel...

...free.

And what about me?

It won't take long.

Come on...

Come to bed.

I can't sleep.

And there's no point in brooding.

I'm not brooding.

I'm enjoying the room.

It's incredible.
