La Maison Sous la Mer Page #3

---

Don't leave me on my own!

Not alone, Mercier!

Not alone!

Thanks.

How did your pleasure trip go?

I told you.

There should be a switch...

...to stop it en route.

Such luxuries!

- Don't we get served over here?

- There you are.

- That tell you something?

- I've got better.

In the village?

You won't get far

with an outsider.

Who is it?

As you wish.

Is it serious?

Looks that way.

It's not about feelings...

it's more about...

It's both.

My wife is a housewife

first and foremost...

...famous for her cooking.

You'll have to come over for dinner.

You should meet her.

I wouldn't know what to say.

Don't worry... my wife

never stops talking.

Mine likes to sit

without saying anything.

If she stretches out,

she'll reveal her thoughts.

What does she think about?

Travelling.

Not mine!...

She thinks Cherbourg

is too far away.

She's not after your money?

Mine...

We've each got the type

that suits us.

It'd be funny

if they knew each other.

Better if mine didn't know.

Neighbours have nothing better to do

than be nosey.

- I haven't said the wrong thing have I?

- Anouk.

No!... Keep your money!

See you then.

- See you tomorrow.

- Tomorrow.

G'day gents!

Hi, sweetie!

- Glass of white.

- And again.

- It's my round.

- Have you done the job?

I wasn't going to let Mercier

do it on his own.

Why?

Would he have been afraid?

Anyone who puts Mercier down,

has to deal with me!

We were scared witless up there!

But I'll go back with Mercier.

I knew you'd come back

to our house.

We can't stay away from each other.

And I barely know your name.

Names are for other people.

The ones who won't come here.

Howdy gents!

Howdy Captain.

I think we have a cuckold

around here.

- We all know about Maresquier.

- No... someone else.

Mum's the word. I've always done

the right thing by the ladies.

What are you drinking?

Want to get me to talk, eh?

When I'm drunk I tell jokes.

A calvados for the Captain,

another orange bitters for me.

If I talk too much,

grab my glass, Anouk.

Anouk's having a lie down.

What are you looking sad about?

Have I upset you?

I'm not asking you about

what's happened before.

I can see it in your face.

Nothing from the past

matters at all.

You still have to let me

go back home alone.

Why?

Tell me.

Answer my question!

Not today.

Why not today?

I want to know.

Constant, you've never asked me

if I was married.

No, I haven't.

Constant! Where are you going?

- Where are you going, Constant?

- To work.

- To the works?

- Where else would I be going?

- Constant...

- Get away!

There's no need to get angry...

it's not as simple as that.

- You got kids?

- No.

- So...?

- We've known each other since childhood.

It's never been

like it is with you.

I'm yours, Constant.

So you have to make a choice.

That's all I've thought of

since I met you.

Constant, look at me...

...properly!

No!

I'm not going to share you.

See me when you've decided.

Not before.

I'll wait for you tomorrow.

But I can't come tomorrow.

I can't come tomorrow!

- Hey, Chief...

- Yes?

- Some bubbly!

- Coming up.

The same sort as

that other time!

I'm bringing it.

That was before

we were married.

He gives me whatever I want!

The 4 of us...

my pal and his bird

...and I wasn't alone any more.

That pal of mine was a card!

When he opened a bottle he'd say:

"Here's mud in your eye!"

- Remember?

- Sure do.

- Have a drink with us.

- Thanks.

We don't get into town much.

- When were you married?

-2 years ago.

We're having a bit

of a honeymoon today.

Mud in your eye!

Long live the bride!

You seem all tense!

Make a quick wish.

A nice drop!

Shame we don't come

more often.

Drink up...

it's the real thing.

She doesn't believe

the 4 of us were here.

They broke a bottle of soda water.

It wasn't us.

It could've been.

What a character!

You should've worn

that woven hat

...you inherited!

Come on... drink up!

We'll get some coffee...

...and liqueurs, Chief!

People are looking at us.

Would you say that

about that Terretot girl?

Whores come out at night...

They're forbidden during daytime!

I asked for a brandy.

Pay what's on your tab first.

- Can I use the phone?

- Yes, but don't sit on it.

This used to be a respectable place!

Is it any different?

It's not the same thing.

- Where are you going?

- To wash my hands.

Putting on airs, eh?!

Can you lend me 500

until tomorrow?

Yes... what?

I'll wait.

Hullo.

I didn't think you spoke to me.

Well, you can see that I do.

Lucien certainly carries on!

He doesn't understand things.

Yes... I'm waiting.

Take it... don't say no.

I'm still the same...

I'm not going to change for 500 francs.

I'm just asking you

to accept it.

You're the one who's changed.

Thank you.

'Evening, Chief.

Howdy, Captain!

- Been offshore?

- Yep.

Been diving?

Not yet... but I've brought you

some lobsters.

This lot will wipe

your slate clean.

Just tell me what

I was saying yesterday.

What did I tell them?

Come on... what did I talk about?

- Silly old fool!

- Anouk, he's being rude to me!

You were talking about Flore,

about Flore and Mercier.

I'm always saying the wrong thing

when I'm drunk.

Brandy!

You going to start again?

Now I have to forget

what I said.

Good night, Chief.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

We could move out...

...and then have the place done

with floral wallpaper.

I'm just teasing you!

- Come on... bed time.

- No, no!

Not before I've spoken...

Papa, come on... please!

I deserve to live longer.

Say Flore, you know

what happened to me?

I dishonoured a woman.

- Is Constant in?

- What do you want him for?

- I need to speak to him.

- Do you realise the time?

- He's expecting me.

- He's been working all night.

- I tell you, he's expecting me.

- He's asleep in bed.

He's not expecting anybody.

What's his room number?

You can't go waking everybody...

It's No. 8!

I'm so happy!

Feel better now?

It's so good of you

to come.

You weren't asleep?

You think I could've been?

I need a shave...

I need to look good...

now that you've chosen.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Haven't you chosen yet?

I'm here aren't I?

Do you have anything

to sew with?

Yes, there.

Don't worry about it.

It's no trouble...

The first time!

There are women

who know how to talk and dance

and show themselves off...

I feel sorry for them.

They know nothing

about a man.

Wait 'til you see your shirts!

Where are we going to eat?

The sort of inn you go to

before you're married.

You've been there?

No, otherwise I wouldn't

take you there.

- Only...

- I'll be looking good!

You don't have to get all brushed up

and shaved for that.

What were you saying?

To get to Sciotot,

you have to go through...

...Flamanville.

And that bothers you?...

...Since we're getting married?

You know... not even if

we're not married.

A penny for your thoughts.

My thoughts are far away.

Whereabouts?

The place we're going to.
