Les parapluies de Cherbourg Page #2

and I take many risks...

At best, I can put

your necklace up for sale,

but for much less

than its real worth:

I cannot buy it myself:

Couldn't you at least

give me an advance?

Nothing, I told you:

We can do nothing:

Don't insist, Mother:

This is a disaster:

Excuse me, I am interested:

I will buy this jewel:

I can save you

from your predicament:

Allow me to introduce myself:

Roland Cassard,

diamond dealer:

But, Sir...

Do not worry, Madame,

I am not a philanthropist:

I'll easily sell this necklace

in Paris or London,

where I often go on business:

I don't know if I should...

Take me seriously:

I am ashamed,

as well as delighted:

I do not have enough cash with me:

I can give you a check:

There's no hurry:

Could you come tomorrow

to my shop,

"The Umbrellas of Cherbourg"...

I'm always there:

See you tomorrow:

What time is it?

6:
15:

How come he isn't here yet?

He might be a crook:

He could have been leading you on:

Don't imagine things:

What's the matter with you?

Nothing, Mother:

Then, be quiet:

I'm going to see Guy:

I forbid you to see that boy:

Stay here:

I wouldn't want

to show you disrespect:

Well, that's good!

But I'll go:

You'll stay here:

Anyway, Mr:
Cassard

will be here soon,

and I want you to be present:

Why?

Because!

If he's a crook, as you said,

we'd better face him together:

You think we'll be smart enough?

I don't know, but stay here:

I cannot:

Don't leave:
I don't want you

to leave:
Genevive!

I had given up waiting for you:

Are you crying?

It's nothing:
Sometimes

I don't have the courage

to deal with my troubles,

with my debts:

Am I not here to help you?

It's most kind of you:

I've just seen Miss Genevive...

I would have liked...

She's gone out:

The life we lead

is so sad for a young girl...

This dreary shop...

I no longer amuse her...

and I fear

she'll become depressed:

You see, she is bored:

Would you like some tea?

With pleasure:

We've just had a terrible fight

about you:

About me?

She wanted to go out,

I didn't want her to:

We had a row:
We are so lonely

since my husband died:

Maybe you should...

I don't know...

take her to a show:

Maybe:

Will you come to dinner tomorrow?

Genevive would be happy

to see you:

Impossible, I must leave tonight:

I'm going back to Paris,

and tomorrow I'm off to London:

Here's the money I promised you:

Give Genevive my best regards,

and I shall not fail

to visit you

on my next trip:

I was so afraid

I wouldn't find you:

I am so happy to be with you!

Now I'm laughing

because I realize

how foolish I am

when I am alone:

I talked to Mother

about our marriage:

Of course, she said I'm crazy:

And, tonight,

she forbade me to see you:

You see, I was so afraid...

I'd go anywhere,

I'd never see Mother again,

rather than lose you:

We'll marry secretly:

Now it does not matter

anymore:

We have plenty of time:

This morning,

I received my draft notice,

and I will be away

for two years:

So the marriage,

we'll talk about it later...

With the war in Algeria,

it will be a long time

before I can come back:

But I'll never be able

to live without you:

I won't be able to:

Don't go:

I will die:

I will hide you...

and I will have you,

but, my love,

do not leave me:

You know it is not possible:

I will not leave you:

My love,

I have to go:

I want you to know

that I think only of you:

And I know

that you will wait for me:

Two years...

Two years of our life!

Don't cry,

I beg you:

Two years...

No, I can't face it:

Calm down,

we have so little time left:

So little time, my love,

we mustn't waste it:

We must try to be happy:

Of our last moments

we must keep a memory

more beautiful

than anything:

A memory which will help us

to live:

I am so afraid

when I am alone:

We'll be together again

and we'll be stronger:

You will meet other women...

you'll forget me:

I will love you

until the end of my life:

Guy, I love you:

Do not leave me:

My love, do not leave me:

Come, my love, my love:

Is that you, Guy?

Good evening, Aunt Elise:

Are you in bed?

I don't feel too well:

Is there anything you want?

Nothing:

I just need to rest:

Good night, my little one:

I am afraid...

I love you:

Where were you?

With Guy:

What did you do?

He is leaving:

He'll be away two years:

I can't live without him:

I will die:

Stop crying:

Look at me:

People only die of love

in movies:

It's too cruel...

Separation is cruel,

that's true:

But time fixes a lot of things:

You talk about love,

what do you know of love?

Are you sure of your feelings?

Mother, can't you see

how unhappy I am?

I know, darling, I know:

I have also

loved, fought...

and I have suffered:

You should listen to me:

I do listen to you:

Isn't it better to wait?

Two years from now, perhaps

you will have forgotten Guy:

Never... will I forget him:

If you still love him

when he returns, you'll see:

You must believe me:

You must calm down

and get this affair

out of your mind:

Have you had dinner?

Yes, Mother:

Eat a fruit:

You need distraction:

Go out and live a little:

It is not difficult:

You are young, pretty and witty...

You will make friends

your age, or older:

Mr:
Cassard

came this evening:

He was sorry he missed you:

I am certain he could give you

good advice:

I can do without his advice:

You are wrong!

For me, he is the kind of man...

Don't bore me with his kind!

You look terrible:

Leave me alone, Mother:

Give me a kiss at least:

Have faith:
You will see:

Look at me, my boy:

When you return,

I do not know

if I shall still be alive:

But, Elise!...

Do not say "but":

I've had a good life,

and I can leave it

without regrets:

Nonsense!

Right, Madeleine?

Of course!

She's better already:

I'll meet death before you do:

It's the army,

not the war:

Before you go,

I want you to know

that everything I have

will be yours:

Don't ever forget me:

Write me from time to time:

Madeleine will keep you informed:

Farewell, my little one:

My love,

I will wait for you,

all my life:

I will think only of you:

Stay, do not go,

I beg you:

Stay, my love:

It is not time yet:

I am going away from you,

do not look at me:

I cannot:

I cannot:

SECOND PART:
: THE ABSENCE

So?

So, what?

You are so pale:

What did the doctor say?

Almost nothing...

I need a rest:

You didn't need

to see a doctor for that:

I could have told you myself:

What else?

He gave me a prescription:

Sedatives, tonics, things:

Things!

Then it can't be very serious:

You see, Genevive,

if the shop was doing better,

I would be the happiest woman:

It's freezing:

Do you know

whom I met in town?

You'll never guess:

Roland Cassard!

What do you say?

What do you want me to say?

He is incredibly nice:

We talked for more than an hour

this morning:

He's back from the U:S:A:

What a man!

He told me a thousand stories:

I invited him to dinner:

What's the matter, Genevive?

Nothing, I'm just tired:
