...under rhe sun.

The sea will take me away...

...til he comes back.

It will be great.

But at the right time,

i'm right here, and that's it...

And we cope with everything,

Right Anna?

I gotta go,

i can't count on them.

At least I would have drunk my first

non-alcooholic drink!

- Didn't you notice something?

- I Did.

So did I.

The kid became weird.

Weird, that's a bit too much!

But he's absolutely nuts.

I've been told that he fell in love.

With someone.

A celebrity?

Much worse, a chick.

This one?

No, that one.

Are you trying to tell me

that he wants to date a poster?

He doesn't date, Marianne.

If he doesn't, it means

he doesn't care, Anne-Marie.

No, he loves her.

But he doesn't know her.

He fell in love with a snapshot.

Ah, poor guy.

At his age, it's quite normal that

he's aroused by the mysteries of life.

Nevertheless,

a relationship with a picture,

that will make people gossip.

Besides, it's very unhealthy.

What about her family, anyway.

No idea.

We have one photography,

not the whole album.

Listen to me, Marianne.

Tell me, Anne-Marie.

We have to find a bride for this kid.

A bride?

Good idea!

We don't even need to ask him.

We do, we should tell him. He can't

get married without even know about it.

He'll discover something, later or sooner.

That's it.

Just find him a wife!

A young one!

Let's have a fancy-dress ball.

Yes, let's do it.

There must be one

among the good-looking ones

with who he'll make it out.

A wealthy one.

A petite...

Cute...

Blonde enough...

Coquette enough...

Listen to my heart.

It's beating only for you...

...but another you, one I don't know about.

Yesterday or tomorrow...

...I would have told you yes.

Yesterday or tomorrow,

but not today.

Yes, I could have been yours...

...but you're not here.

I was free like you...

...but I didn't notice that.

Yesterday or tomorrow...

...I would have told you yes.

Yesterday or tomorrow,

but not today.

Yesterday is so far away already...

...and I don't love you.

Tomorrow, if you thin about me...

...I'll be gone.

Yesterday or tomorrow...

...I would have told you yes.

Yesterday or tomorrow,

but not today.

Yesterday or tomorrow,

but not today.

A day as usual...

...I'm alone with myself.

Why Anna, Anna...

...are you staying alone with yourself?

A day as usual...

...he'll come to me saying...

"I love you Anna, Anna".

Taht day, everything'll be changed.

Oh, that's enough!

He ought to have incredible eyes.

To stare at people in the dark.

He ought to be adroit.

What's so special about her?

She doesn't even have legs!

That's the trick!

What is she doing with her life, that one?

Le Crazy Horse, le Milk Bar,

They have special girls.

Cover girls, oh!

Who cares anyway?

She belongs to whoever wants her.

My conception of love is

a trompe-l'oeil.

I'm the kind you pin...

...the deadliest vamp.

The most dangerous

comic-book character!

I'm the girl you stick...

...on Harley-Davidsons...

...BMW... heavy-loaded trucks

I'm the roller-girl.

The roller-girl.

I'm the chick from advertisement...

...the Lolita from comics...

The most dangerous comic-book character!

I'm the roller-girl.

I'm a lovely trompe-l'oeil...

...a tatoo-transfer girl...

...immdiate danger

and fictitious love.

I'm the roller-girl.

I'm the only one left alone.

Nothing will ever happen to me.

If it goes on like this...

...I'm busted.

Monday...

...tuesday...

...wednesday, nothing.

It's getting harder and harder.

What should I do?

Sit here and wait for her?

Wednesday evening.

They all look the same to me here.

What am I doing here, am I nuts?

What's he doing, Serge?

Ah Serge, ah Serge.

Come here.

Dear Serge, seat down.

I have to talk to you.

Besides, I must speak to you.

Do you understand what it's all abot?

No, my aunt.

Bring me an absinthe

with a sugar, please.

Please, bring me a sugar,

with an absinthe.

Serge, dear,

you're an adult.

Besides, you're more than 21,

my boy, you're a man.

Your aunt is right.

That's the first time I hear this one.

This story of ghost in short skirt

is grotesque.

You're everyone's fool.

What your aunt doesn't dare to say,

is that everybody...

is making fun of you.

It can't goes on like that.

- It has to stop.

- My boy...

...get married!

Or else, I've got another idea.

Why don't you wed someone?

Oh, my aunt.

I just can't.

Why not?

I don't feel like it.

I can't understand these modern yougsters!

When you're in love,

you must marry someone.

On the contrary.

When you marry someone,

you must be in love with her.

You shouldn't marry someone else.

Let him be.

He prefers to live it up.

He'll be the death of us

Murderer!

I just can't, I cannot.

To appeal to the audience?

You've got to be kidding!

First, at the present time,

the french population is having diner.

We just can't disturb them.

- Anne-Marie, beg him.

- No!

Sir, our nephew is deseperate

We have to find this girl.

How old is he, this young man?

Ah! Boys of 28 are so sensitives nowadays!

Sir, if you help us,

we'll give you...

many, many...

We're searching, take good note,

We're searching somebody.

No one knows how her body looks like,

nor what her name is.

So, every person who matches this profil...

...is asked to go at the Publex agency...

...35 Champs-Elyses, Paris.

It's a woman, apparently

she must be a female...

...according to the police.

Ah, a last detail:

her age is unknown.

- That's all.

- Thursday, noon.

I'm still alone...

...not for long time though.

It's me!

It's me!

It's me!

Eight days ago,

I would have appreciated that.

I would have brought them back home.

Be careful my prince.

Hello, I'm coming.

Let me see that.

No.

This is not it.

This is not it.

This is not what I'm looking for.

Ah... Idon't feel so good.

Annie?

Anna.

Anna.

Anna, I'm upset.

You're not a funny one.

It's this transparent

woman who's killing you.

Anyway, i'll go to your funeral.

As soon as there's flowers, I'm happy.

That's the way I am!

Incurable!

Have you heard about it?

Oh, with this snapshot girl?

He's nuts.

It's plain dumbness.

But she's looking good, ain't she?

Not bad.

Are you in love with him?

What? Are you out of your mind?

Nothing, it's doesn't matter.

Forget about it...

...don't get angry.

It's just, when you work all day long

with a guy...

...sometimes you're imagining things.

Well, it's not my style.

A bit awkward, uh?

Still, I find you funny.

VYou must be quite a catch,

but you're not aware of it.

You have nerve!

Oh, you didn't understand!

I didn't try to position myself.

Do you have someone?

Right!

Is she pretty?

They're very pretty.

Oh my, what a bastard!

Okay, so long chick!

If this is love, why bother?

I'd rather never, never.

I'd rather never love.

One day it's me.

The day after, it's someone else.

So why, why me...

...rather than someone else?

If this is love, why bother?

Change always, all the time...

Serge Gainsbourg

Serge Gainsbourg (born Lucien Ginsburg; French pronunciation: ​[sɛʁʒ ɡɛ̃sbuʁ]; 2 April 1928 – 2 March 1991) was a French singer, songwriter, pianist, film composer, poet, painter, screenwriter, writer, actor, and director. Regarded as one of the most important figures in French popular music, he was renowned for his often provocative and scandalous releases, as well as his diverse artistic output, which embodied genres ranging from jazz, mambo, world, chanson, pop and yé-yé, to rock and roll, progressive rock, reggae, electronic, disco, new wave, and funk. Gainsbourg's varied musical style and individuality make him difficult to categorize although his legacy has been firmly established and he is often regarded as one of the world's most influential popular musicians.His lyrical works incorporated a vast amount of clever word play to hoodwink the listener, often for humorous, provocative, satirical or subversive reasons. Common types of word play in his songs include mondegreen, onomatopoeia, rhyme, spoonerism, dysphemism, paraprosdokian and pun. Through the course of his career, Gainsbourg wrote over 550 songs, which have been covered more than 1,000 times by a wide range of artists. Since his death, Gainsbourg's music has reached legendary stature in France, and he is regarded as one of France’s most revered musicians. He has also gained a cult following in the English-speaking world, with numerous artists influenced by his arrangements. more…
