Criminal Lovers

Synopsis: After a perverted impulse drives them to kill, Alice and her boyfriend, Luc, drag the body into the woods, only to find themselves hopelessly lost - much like the fairy-tale plight of Hansel and Gretel.

I'm standing before you.

I'm taking off my shoes.

Unbuttoning my skirt.

Should I take off my top

or my panties next?

It's up to you.

OK, boss.

I'll take the top off.

I'm unbuttoning my shirt...

I'm down to my bra.

Unfasten it.

What are you doing?

Come closer.

You're in no hurry!

There, it's done.

Now I'm topless.

My nipples are hard.

Should I moisten them?

I'll do it.

Too late, it's done.

Hands behind your back.

Now take off my panties.

With my feet?

No, with your teeth!

I'm here.

I can feel you.

What happened with that chick?

She was hotter

than all the other b*tches combined.

Hotter than the cross-eyed senior?

Yeah. She grabs me in the cafeteria

and says "Said, I'm ready!"

You gonna f*** her?

She's coming to the gym tonight.

- You're gonna do it there?

- Sure. Nobody'll be there.

I'm gonna make you hard.

Can I take off the blindfold?

No, keep it on.

Don't move, just play dead, OK?

OK.

I'm undressing you.

She put her hand on my face,

in my hair.

She moved down my neck, like this...

then down my chest.

She caressed me, like this.

Then she went a little lower,

to here.

- That's when it got good.

- You fag!

You should've f***ed her boyfriend.

What are you doing?

I'll be right back.

Where are you going?

You're not even hard!

What are you doing?

I'll send it to your mom,

and show it

to your friends!

I'll get a picture

of your fat ass and p*ssy!

What are you waiting for?

What's wrong, Luc?

How could you?

What did I do to you?

It was just for fun

and to turn you on a little.

CRIMINAL LOVERS:

He should be in there.

Here goes.

Dad, Mom, I took the car.

We went to a nightclub.

Luc.

Sorry.

Alice!

- Got everything?

- Yeah. Here.

Nobody saw you?

No. But hurry up.

Luc,

do you love me?

Sh*t, don't fall asleep!

I'm not.

I'm just resting my eyes.

Where are we?

Luc, what the hell

are we doing here?

What?

We weren't supposed to sleep!

You fell asleep first.

That's no excuse.

Hurry up, we've got to move.

OK, we're ready to go.

I can't see anything!

You gotta make holes, dummy.

Let's go.

Hands up!

The cash register!

F***ing cool, check out what we got!

Plus the jewels!

We're gonna be rich! How much?

Not that much, really.

We should've done the bakery.

You wanted to do the jeweler.

You could've thought it out.

We got enough.

I never knew it was that easy.

Yeah, but at the bakery

we would've gotten croissants

and cinnamon rolls.

I think we did great.

There was no damage, no blood.

We're artists!

Excuse me, where are

the gardening tools?

In the back,

second aisle to your right.

Thank you.

Alice...

- What?

- I'm hungry!

So steal!

I can't find the forest.

Can't you read a map?

Read it yourself!

- How f***ing hard can it be?

- Slow down!

You hit a rabbit!

The car's alright.

We have to bury it.

What?

You're crazy! There's no time.

You've got no heart!

How can you say that to me?

After what you just made me do!

It's not the rabbit's fault.

Goddammit, Alice!

- Shut up! You make me sick!

- We've got to bury Said!

Stop it Alice, stop it!

Stop it! OK,

we'll bury the rabbit too.

We've got to get rid of Said first.

- OK?

- OK.

Ready?

I can't go on!

So who's gonna dig?

I don't know. There's no hurry.

Isn't it exciting?

What?

Our adventure!

You used to complain

nothing ever happened.

Happy now?

Yeah, thrilled.

That should do it.

Let's go back.

You remember the way?

We'll just follow our tracks.

Come on, let's go.

Our tracks are gone.

It's not possible.

Look!

That's definitely not ours.

Think someone followed us?

I don't know.

Without the tracks, we're lost.

You remember the way?

No.

We've got to find the car.

We're better off without it.

My dad'll kill me!

F*** your dad!

Let's go.

There's a boat.

We could cross.

I'm not crossing!

Why not?

I can't swim.

Said...

Sh*t, sh*t!

Forget it, it's OK.

Find us something to eat,

I'm starving.

You ate everything!

We can't live on three candy bars.

So what do we do?

I don't know! I'm sick of deciding,

try to be a man!

You're like a ball and chain.

A ball and chain!

You were happy I killed Said,

drove here and buried him!

Oh, quit complaining.

- Where are you going?

- F*** you.

You knew it wouldn't be easy.

A**hole!

Alice...

- Come on!

- Where?

There's a house.

The guy's gone.

We can steal some food.

I adore you!

Careful.

- You sure he's gone?

- Yeah.

Don't you trust me?

Come on.

After you, Princess!

Look, the poor rabbits.

It stinks.

There's bread.

Well, well, I've got company.

We thought nobody lived here, so...

So you took the key, came in and

made yourselves at home. Is that it?

We won't bother you.

We'll be going...

Out of the question!

I can't let you go just like that.

You entered my house.

You'll have to pay!

I've got money...

You can't buy me off!

- If you preferjewelry...

- Shut up!

Get down there!

Mister, we didn't do anything.

What did we do?

Let us out!

Help! Let us out!

Alice...

What?

Look!

He dug up Said's body.

Mister, please!

Alice is having an attack.

Let us out!

Alice, I'm here. Calm down.

Mister!

Said's mouth, brown and purple

becomes smooth and shiny,

pink like the head of a penis.

Lower lip very large.

Maybe two or three centimeters.

Skin curving into a deep wrinkle.

In winter, it must crack and open.

Large tongue,

dark,

very moist,

quickly licks

the lower lip

with a force that's

exciting.

"You think about it?"

"You decided?"

"Don't you think...

I'm handsome?"

I'll f*** you, a**hole.

Today I want

to explore the work

of one of the greatest French poets:

Arthur Rimbaud.

One significant fact...

that may inspire

your interest in the poet

is that Rimbaud wrote

his entire work...

What?

What are up to?

I'm listening and taking notes.

- Would you read the text?

- OK.

- What page?

- 146.

"I swallowed a mouthful of poison.

My entrails burn.

The venom twists my limbs,

deforms me, floors me.

I'm dying of thirst.

I can't cry out.

This is hell,

eternal punishment.

See the flame rise.

I'm burning as I should. Go, Demon!

I believe I'm in hell, so I am.

The catechism is at work.

I am slave to my baptism.

Parents,

You made my misfortune

and you made your own.

Poor innocent.

Hell cannot attack pagans.

I'm still alive!

Later, damnation's delights

will be more profound.

Quick, a crime!

That I may fall into the void,

by human law."

What do you want?

- How's it going?

- It's going.

What's wrong? In a hurry?

Can't you tell?

You don't come see me box anymore.

I'm busy.

You decided?

Decided what?

To sleep together.

F*** off, a**hole!

Don't you think I'm handsome?

You make me sick!

Go screw one of your bimbos.

I'll f*** you deep, you'll see.

Yeah, right. I'll f*** you, a**hole!

Been here long?

You turn me on...

Stop joking around.

I'm not joking.

I came to ask you something.

What?

Do you love me, Luc?

Yeah, of course. Why?

I need your help.

Help with what?
