Hello... What's that?

A library staircase

You got 30 francs?

Heavy?

No...

What are you doing?

Practicing

Why up there?

To get used to heights

I got panicky at my last concert...

Iooking into the orchestra pit

I was really just dizzy...

so I'm practicing

What are you doing!

I'm thinking...

I'll bet!.. Let me get down

Close your eyes

Oh, no! I know you!

Nothing's further from my mind...

I won't touch you!

Promise?

Scout's honor!

You were never a boy scout!

You bet I wasn't!

Close your eyes!

Eyes closed?

Now open them

What's that?

A library staircase.

I've always wanted one

We don't have a library!

Have to begin somewhere...

I have a surprise for you...

The Senator came through!

We've got our telephone!

Not bad...

I told Lucien

you'd write the Senator

Before I thank him... does it work?

What do I dial to find out the time?

Odeon 84-00

Cochin Hospital?

Sorry, wrong number!

I got a hospital!

Dial the hospital

and see what you get

How's the letter?

Almost finished

Can I read it?

"Thanks for getting us,

in one week..."

"what others wait years for!"

You can't send that!

It's true, isn't it?

Listen!

He's Lucien's customer...

You can't do that!

I can't?.. Then you write him!

I will!

You're a selfish monster!

Everybody has to help you!

I didn't ask for anything

I didn't want the damn telephone!

Why?

Because friends might call us?

What if we're bored?

I don't know what boredom is!

I know some people get bored...

but I don't know what it means!

There's always something to do...

cut the pages of a book...

do crossword puzzles, take notes...

always something to do!

I'd like a 30-hour day...

because I'm never bored!

I wish I were 60...

I'd only need 5 hours sleep!

I'm going to the toilet!

Going to school?

Aren't you on strike?

You're an early bird...

- It's cold...

- Want a set of keys?

Anyway, they're right here

Give me a hand...

Get a move on, Marcel!

No more noise?

They're plastic...

On wheels?

No!

The new management got them...

they're noiseless!

You look nervous

I'm testing a product I invented

If it works,

I get Absolute Red...

If not, I read the want ads!

I studied our horoscope.

Very favorable!

Big things ahead for you and me

I used too much...

What do you think?

Read the want ads!

Important new

American hydraulic company...

seeks dynamic

young man speaking English...

"Dear sir:

I wish to recommend..."

"the son of an old friend."

"Former Scout leader

and a loyal Frenchman...

"he is completely fluent in..."

the language of Shakespeare."

"His dynamism should be useful

to your firm."

Could you give this letter to the

director?

You can come in now

Just a minute

The applicant is here

- Say hello first

- Hello! Now hurry up

Monsieur Max, please

- My little cream puff!

- Down, boy!

Monsieur Max?.. He's here

Watch out! I love cream puffs!

If I had breasts

I'd fondle them all day

A very nice letter...

You speak...

You speak English well?

A little...

You read it better than you speak it

The problem...

for our employees here...

is transportation.

You have a car?

You can't start at the top,

of course

I'll put you on the scale-models

We've made a model of a harbor...

with the port installations

You'll maneuver the boats...

Like the job?

You'll see:
my employees...

are so happy here...

they hate to stay home on Sundays!

That is the port...

based on future plans

At present, the harbor silts up

So we've built a dike

from there to there

Otherwise, it's accurate to scale

Your job will be...

to run the boats by remote control

Push a button and away they go!

Like the job?

"You'll see:
my employees..."

"are so happy here..."

"they hate to stay home Sundays!"

He says that to all the new ones!

Imagine writing that

in a newspaper!

Listen:
it's about...

the Common Market, in Brussels

"Afterwards, in their rooms..."

"each delegate found..."

"a sensuous call-girl awaiting him!"

Impossible!

It's true!

Imagine... in Le Monde!

"each delegate found..."

"a sensuous call-girl awaiting him!"

It's not true!

Read it yourself

"each delegate found a sumptuous..."

"collation awaiting him!"

You liar!

Lights out

Got you, huh?

Got to tell you something tomorrow

Tomorrow...

Why not now?

You couldn't sleep

I bought some

A new brand

First-class!

Damn! There's a guy I know

Owes me money.

He'll be embarrassed...

I owe you 30 francs, right?

You lend me 20 more...

you get the 50 back all at once

Well, so long...

Where's your violin?

It's not a lesson

Where you going?

Do you always tell me where you go?

See you tonight

Dressmaker - Gynecologist

Notary public

NATURAL CHILDBIRTH

"Watch out for the contraction..."

"Short breaths...

Keep going! Keep going!"

"Very good, very good..."

"go on! Go on..."

"Stay relaxed... very good,

very good..."

"Go on, go on, go on!"

I have something for you

Advertising...

Looks like Mme Doinel...

got stung by a mosquito

That was no mosquito!

Look! The strangler!

Looks mean...

I'm coming, dear!

It's soon, isn't it?

You're so lucky!

M. Doinel?.. Not here

Don't hang up!

The hospital?

I'll give him the message

A girl or a boy?

Call Antoine!

It's a boy!

Antoine... congratulations!

It's a lovely little boy

He's under the sign of Aquarius

He's in the arms of Morpheus!

Dine with us?

I'll stay with Christine

Go on... she's waiting

Not even one flower!

He came as soon as they called!

He had no time!

Let's get them the extra room

Knock out the wall...

it'll be perfect

Hold his head up!

What a terrific child!

Of course, I knew he would be...

He'll be the writer I wanted to be

Victor Hugo or nothing!

What Napoleon did with the sword...

you'll do with the pen!

He smiled at me, before...

Babies only smile after 3 weeks!

He smiled at me!

A photographer's here

to take pictures

I'm too tired now

But I'm not too tired!

Send him in...

I'd like to be alone now

You can eat with my parents

I turned them down to stay with you

I can tell you a story,

or we can listen to the radio...

Go away!

Please...

See you tomorrow

Tonight, I didn't...

want to leave you by yourself

I waited for the child by myself!

Good news:
I'm a father!

It's a boy

- Happy?

- And how!

I owe you 50 frs, right?

Lend me 50 more?

I'll pay you 100...

in a lump sum...

- You must be real happy!

- And how!

Is Jean there?

May I speak to Jean?

Tell him

Antoine Doinel is a father...

Tell him I have a little boy...

Don't forget...

You have to register his birth...

We ought to decide...

I prefer Ghislain

It's pretentious:

"Little Lord Fauntleroy"

Got a better idea?

Alphonse...

I like Alphonse...

Makes him sound like a peasant

I have an uncle Ghislain...

Mother:
Christine Darbon Doinel...

The baby's name?

Alphonse

How'd it go?

It's a boy

How'd it go?

Difficult, at first...

but she's fine now

Congratulations!

Give me a hand

I'm glad it's a boy

- Still by yourself?
