Just like you said:

the winds shifting.

Everyones gonna get it.

Mr Louison, Im not supposed

to tell you, but

what happened to your friend

happens here.

It takes place at night

in the stairs.

Thats why no one goes out.

And my father .

Soporific herbs

Hi!

Im here for the springs.

Come in.

This is an antique!

It has seen a lot of use.

Whats the problem?

It squeaks. Thats a pain.

Could you bounce just a little?

I cant see anything.

It does it most

when therere two of us.

Lets try it.

As I thought,

the second spring to the right.

Come, Aurore .

We are here

to help you .

Come .

Freed from life .

Come with us, Aurore .

Soothed .

Come at eleven sharp.

Ring hard!

Rotten world .

That should do it.

Here .

Thanks.

What are Troglodytists?

Outlaws. Its the big story,

but no one sees them.

Tales to keep people busy.

A typical Capricorn statement!

You lose, Im Aquarius.

The sign of the future!

The future

Its soon history around here.

Its so easy to miss a step.

Dont worry about me.

You little brats, give that back!

Quit sneering,

or Ill whack you one!

Ill beat one with the other!

Give that back,

I wont stand for it!

Nice work!

Little rug-rats,

howll we get it down?

This is a job for the Australian!

The Australian?

Stand back.

Thats some tool!

The Australian is nothing

without its master.

How about that!

So, Tapioca, you find a job?

No, not yet.

Thats bad news,

your bills running up.

Not to mention the rent.

Im in a bit of a fix.

But Ive got some good stuff.

Have a look?

Black market? Youre a louse!

But take a look.

Whats that?

A rat-call. Thats the female cry.

It attracts males.

But therere no rats left.

And that?

That is a bullshit detector.

Try it.

Try what?

Give me some bullshit.

Come on!

I cant do it on cue.

Life is beautiful.

A bullshit of a detector!

Turn it off!

We cant hear a thing.

If you cant pay up,

well have to find a way.

Fast. Otherwise

youll wind up hooked to me.

Very funny!

What about that clown?

Hes been around long enough.

Were edgy.

Dont care!

Hell redo the ceilings.

Meanwhile, he takes root

and we wither away.

I have mouths to feed.

I bet! The grannys, for instance.

Why do you mention her?

I know why.

What do you mean?

Want to pay up? Give up granny.

Tonight.

Take it easy!

Shes one of ours. The rules say .

The rules .

Age limit is a rule, too.

Soon she wont be good

for much more than marrow paste.

Shes my mother-in-law!

Take Mrs Interligator,

thats what she wants!

Quit yelling.

It would be charity.

Please.

Interligator needs his wife.

And hes a good tenant he pays!

The damn rich always manage.

With your debts, youve no choice.

Need I insist?

Its you, Julie .

You scared me.

Counting your money again?

Yes. Tell me .

Its rare to see you here.

Thats nice of you.

Like your gift?

It mustve cost you.

Anything to make you happy.

Youve loved candy

since you were little.

But I dont like it anymore.

Let him go.

You always ask that.

Its the same thing each time.

No, this time .

So it is different.

Just look at you! I see his game.

Making your head spin

with his puppy eyes, his dreams .

Theres no room for dreams!

Stop it!

Its a tough world,

and I didnt make it.

You hate my trade.

Its an art like any other!

Let him go.

And youll go with him?

You wont last two weeks.

And I wont lose you.

You lost me long ago!

Julie!

Troglodytism:

An underground organization?

Hi, girl.

Well play a game.

I scare you, you scream,

and the clown upstairs

runs down to your rescue.

Shall we start?

Whats wrong?

Dont just stare!

Scream, dammit!

You come from N.E. sector

You could be one!

Im not a liar. Its true!

You, a surfacer, talk about truth?

Look.

The shirt

of our brother Matt.

Shot point blank like a rabbit.

Thats truth!

Live game, thats what we are.

And youre mad predators.

Im not, I swear!

Youre one of them:

a meat-sucker!

Is that the way you talk to ladies

in your rathole?

Careful!

Oh, my God!

Tell Calamity Jane to straighten out

or hell break loose.

Got it.

Theres a months harvest there.

Plus the risks involved.

Matt died for that.

Tell her.

Corn!

Theres plenty in my building.

30 huge bags

in my fathers basement.

Whats whosit look like?

His names Louison.

The guy were supposed to grab.

May I help you?

Its just an old coffee grinder.

Coffee? Some have it made!

So we went our for a walk

last night? A long one, too!

Theres ruckus, therere screams .

This place is really hopping!

Your dad may work at night,

but still!

Oh, Julie!

Sorry, I was rehearsing

a new number.

Wait!

Didnt you hear anything last night?

After your herbs, you kidding?

A teapot a night, as you prescribed.

Ill bring you more,

You should drink some,

you look overwrought.

Cheer up, she died a natural death.

Come on.

Still,

Idve liked to say goodbye.

Well do that right now.

My poor Robert .

What made you rush

onto the stairs at night?

I did it for Aurore.

I wanted to save her.

She wasnt the one who screamed!

Anyway . Here!

Still, I did it for her.

Besides, the butcher was

very decent. He apologized.

Invite you to dinner?

Well, I havent much .

Fine! Well feel lighter.

Nine oclock, right?

Sharp! Im very punctual.

Rather rare for a girl, no?

For a girl, youre rather rare!

I owe you a lot, you know.

Did you forgive?

Livingstone?

One must always forgive.

Depends. Its not always possible.

Dont say that.

No one is entirely evil.

Its circumstance.

Or they dont realize

theyve done wrong.
