Coco avant Chanel Page #5

of gallantry.

She can't even add.

She'll learn.

She has no money.

What about that?

I'll get by. I'll borrow some.

Stop filling her head with ideas.

I'll marry you.

It'll solve all your problems.

Make all the hats you want.

I'll confront my family of barbarians.

I have no intention

of marrying anyone.

At least it's clear.

The money you need...

I'll give it to you.

I'll ruin you.

I'm not so sure.

So it's decided.

You're abandoning me.

You'll come visit.

I'll miss you.

Me too.

What will I do without you?

I'm frightened.

Adrienne.

Look. A gentleman.

Finish up.

It's so easy to undress you.

See you later.

Stay.

milienne's hats aren't ready.

I'm getting sick of your hats.

Leave less and you'd see me more.

I may have found the house.

-Where is it?

-Near Cannes. Not far from the sea.

I'm seeing it tomorrow.

-Oysters, madame?

-Mademoiselle.

A 2-month rental.

We'll fight like hell.

I'll take the risk.

One of your hats?

The rent is on me.

I thought I gave you a toy.

I gave you your freedom.

You could have married a celebrity...

instead of a lady

in a dusty old castle.

We'd have been happy.

Because we're not?

Go on, try it.

-Out of the question.

-I need your opinion.

Get behind the wheel.

Brake.

Brake. You'll kill us.

Not bad.

You need one yourself. With a driver.

Okay, I'll buy one.

Let's wait. I'm not sure

we have enough in the bank.

We?

I made that money in the bank.

It's mine.

They give you money

because I acted as guarantor.

-So I depend on you.

-For the time being.

Gabrielle?

Starting tomorrow,

I'll be negotiating with the bank.

"Proud people breed

sad sorrows for themselves."

I don't understand.

You're too proud.

You're going to suffer.

"Bodily labor

lessens the pains of the mind.

This is what makes

poor people happy."

"Poor people happy."

An invention of the rich.

Great. Now you're ready

for Nietzsche.

Did you take my blue polo shirt?

You know the difference between us?

I'm a man. You're a woman.

Men and women dress differently.

Can't you leave this one alone?

I can get them only in England.

What's the material?

Jersey.

You're impossible.

Help me.

Or I'll never get out of here.

Why the wait? Let's get going.

-I have to go.

-Start her up.

I'm sick of seeing you leave.

This time I'm coming.

In that outfit?

I'll be back tomorrow.

Then 2 months, just for us.

You'll regret not taking me along.

Save your saliva.

I know what's coming. I got groped.

Yes, you got groped.

It's so dreadfully predictable.

First I act like a girl...

then you say I'm a beast...

then you break something.

Speaking of which,

I recommend this vase.

You almost broke it

one night 6 weeks ago.

It's ready and waiting.

You reversed the order.

Finally a change in the program.

Enough. Don't exasperate me.

You misbehaved.

Next comes "Dirty beast."

You've acted--

Like a girl.

These hats don't stay in place.

Now maybe you'll overact less.

As for the man in question...

if I held my tongue...

it's because I had my reasons.

Theater is such a bore.

Why did you cut your hair?

It got in my way.

You know the saying:

A woman who cuts her hair

is about to change her life.

Will you dine with me?

I'd love to.

Boy had a car accident.

Is he in the hospital?

For 60 years, Coco Chanel's creations

defined the modern woman.

The era's greatest celebrities

adopted her style.

She was the first woman

to break into a man's world...

founding an empire

which still bears her name.

She never married.

She worked up until her death

in January, 1971.

It was a Sunday, the day of rest...

a day she never liked.
