Caramel Page #3

Look straight in front of you.

Sideways.

Now look at the wall...

...as if speaking to a friend.

- Recite the script.

- Like this, or towards you?

Your body still, your face towards me.

My body still and my face towards you?

Yesterday, I met my friend.

She told me, "Your face is glowing.

What's your secret?"

Sorry to interrupt...

...but there's something

stuck on your eyebrows.

I told her, " I am using

the new soap Eve."

It has a freshening effect.

Every evening,

I wash my face with it.

Smile.

You should be happy

about your fresh complexion.

My friend congratulated

me on my complexion.

She told me, "What do you do

to have such a radiant complexion?"

"I use a new soap. Eve."

It's very good in the evening.

It is very fresh.

- Come on, go on.

- I can't.

- You'll be with whom?

- Sorry?

Who you're sharing the room with?

With my husband.

Can I have your name?

Liliane Chakkour.

I need an ID card, please.

Hello. Good morning, Pasha.

I'm fine, thank you.

At your service.

It's okay. We'll be there in five minutes.

God be with you.

Good morning.

A morning full of roses and jasmine!

Any cake left?

My God! What's this place?

What?

Oh, my God!

- Why are you so gloomy?

- Look who's talking!

What have you done to your face?

Just a bit of touching up.

Makeup.

Since this morning...

...like an idiot...

...I've been cleaning

every inch of the room.

I almost bleached the carpet.

I even allowed myself to be taken...

...for a hooker.

And he doesn't even call.

He just sent a message:

"Can't get away from my wife."

What kills me is how stupid I am.

I spend my life waiting for a horn.

A car horn!

- What horn?

- Forget it.

Lucky he didn't show up,

the cake is terrible.

Let me taste.

How many eggs did you put in?

Ten, as you said.

Ten? Are you out of your mind?

Disgusting.

I can't even look into my parents' eyes.

I'm so ashamed.

In the evening they ask:

"Where were you?"

I say, "At the salon."

"When are you getting married?"

What do you want me to tell them?

And I'm still lying to myself...

...thinking that he's going to leave her.

What gets to me, is not knowing...

...who is this woman

that he can't leave?

I want to know who she is.

What she's like.

How she walks.

How she smells.

Do you think you are

the only one living a lie?

Nisrine?

What's the matter?

Honey, what's wrong?

What's wrong? What's wrong?

What is it?

I swear, I'm fine.

We should be talking

about your wedding.

What's the matter?

My prince charming won't be the first.

What do you mean?

Bassam won't be my first man.

- He doesn't know?

- No, he doesn't.

Don't fuss, we'll kill two morning doves.

What are you talking about?

I've heard that if a girl has sinned...

...a little dove's blood

on the bridal sheet will do.

Why not sparrows?

Maybe it looks more real.

How do you trick the husband?

Well, the bride works it out.

It's like a challenge.

You and your crazy ideas.

What do you suggest?

What happened?

Let's go, girls.

Back to your rooms, break's over.

Stop lazing around.

Souad Abdel-Sater?

Why not Abdel-Satan!

I don't understand.

Souad Abdel-Sater?

Where did you get that name?

In the obituaries?

Couldn't you pick a Christian name?

Rita or Theresa, for example?

While we're at it...

...let's choose a French name.

Marie, Julie.

I can't be a "Marie" just once?

Yes, it would suit you.

What, you think you're going

to the Moulin Rouge or the Lido?

It's just a clinic.

Stop fussing.

You can hardly say "hi" in French.

You flunked it in high school.

I don't have to speak.

So you'd be a dumb French girl?

What do you know?

I can speak French.

My name is Julie. I'm from Paris.

I've come for a "hot" couture.

Shut up, he'll hear us.

Okay, I'll shut up.

- Good morning, Sir.

- Good morning.

I'm going to the museum, please.

- Where?

- Museum.

Get in.

Good morning.

But we're not going to the museum.

We'll take a shortcut.

Don't worry. I know the way.

Julie what?

- Pompidou.

- Pompidou?

For Dr. Stambouli?

Fourth...

...floor, lift is on your left.

Miss Pompidou...

...signature, please.

Two Stambouli stitches...

...and you'll be good as new.

Like a teenager.

If Mr. Pompidou calls...

...tell him I am at the tailor's.

What are you listening to?

Your hair is beautiful.

Thank you.

I like yours too, but...

...short hair would suit you,

you have a beautiful face.

I wish.

We could do it now.

Cut my hair?

They'd go mad at home.

Rima.

You've used up the hot water.

What now?

Oh, sorry.

I've come for...

...the special...

The waxing offer.

I didn't quite understand.

Someone from your salon called me.

Isn't this salon Si Belle?

Yes, I called you.

- Your name?

- Christine Khoury.

My appointment is for tomorrow.

But today is better.

Is it a problem?

No, no problem.

What will it be?

Waxing.

Layale.

The lady's here for the special.

The waxing offer.

Hello.

This way, please.

Sorry. It might be a bit hot.

Don't worry.

Maybe I'm oversensitive today.

Don't worry.

Your hair is so beautiful.

Thank you.

I've always wanted to dye my hair black.

Why don't you?

I'm thinking about it.

But my husband likes me the way I am.

I don't want to upset him.

He doesn't like change.

Wait a second.

Sorry.

It's okay.

What, should I have asked

for your permission before inviting her?

Stop being obsessed with her.

Did you see her ass?

Enormous. Relax.

As for you, I'll cut your

tongue off if you mock me.

- I'm scared.

- Are you talking to me?

- Have you seen your ass?

- Shut up!

Thanks, you're so kind.

Aren't you tired?

Holy Mary, full of grace.

The Lord is with you.

You are blessed amongst women.

And Jesus,

Blessed be the fruit of your womb.

- Hail Mary...

- Holy Mary.

Mother of God,

Pray for us poor sinners.

Now and at the time of our death.

You're killing me.

- Once more.

- No, that's enough.

Our Lady won't forgive you.

Not at all.

Why won't she forgive me?

One more Hail Mary?

Two, if you want.

Hail Mary...

Father Constantin, pray for me!

I'll call the vicar,

I'll ask him to pray.

God give you health.

Hello!

Hello, young man.

Welcome.

We thought you'd never come.

What a pleasure. Come in.

Thank you. Sorry...

Girls, let the gentleman through.

- Good morning.

- Come in, come in.

Samia, can you give your place

to Mr. Handsome?

Of course.

Please, son. Sit down.

- Make yourself comfortable.

- Thank you.

Layale. We need you here.

What should we do to this lovely face?

The sideburns?

It won't hurt.

The moustache?

I'd say...

...a few hairs here and there.

Quickly, with the tweezers.

For the moustache, we'll see.

As for the eyebrows...

Absolutely.

Heat the sugar, please.

Welcome.

Thank you.

Under your protection

We shelter, Holy Mary.

Dear Rose,

Meet me for coffee at Doughan's...

...Tuesday at 5? Charles

Hello, Auntie Rose.

What a surprise.

What brings you here?

- What's up?

- She's got news.

I've come to fix my hair.
