Want a sip?

Don't you want some?

Go on, have some

Listen, I'm not jealous. Get me?

I'm not jealous!

I'm not jealous at all. OK?

What do you want?

What is it with you?

You won't change him.

He's always been like this

I don't mean to. I take him as he is

Best you can do

Closing time. It's getting late

Come on, let's go. I feel randy

I've been flirting with Dominique

Have you?

I like her. I like her a lot

There was another girl...

Met her four days before

I went to prison

She was nice. Kept writing to me

all the time

- You still think about her?

- Well, she wanted money... lots

Do you think about her or not?

No, I don't. Mind you, if I...

...if I met her again...

...I'd probably give her one

You know, have it off with her

Do you understand?

What the hell are you doing?

What's going on?

You tripped?

You know what I'd like

more than anything?

Tell me

- Go on, say it

- No, you say it

I can't

You want us to get married

Yes

Where are my cigarettes?

- Where the hell are they?

- I don't know

This tea is cold

Give me a puff

You came for your mail?

No, I came to collect

some of my things

Why don't you stay?

He's very unhappy

You were such a nice couple.

And he spoiled you

- He's unhappy without you

- You look after him

Yes, but it's not the same

I can see to his needs, perhaps

But he misses you

And I'm not always here.

You'll be back?

Yes, I'll be back next week

Stay a little longer.

He may be back

No, I must rush. 'Bye

Goodbye, Madame

I wanted to see you alone

Oh, I didn't understand

Let's go out, then

I'll be back

So, his name is Loulou

I call him Louis

- Have you looked at him?

- Sure, what of it?

- You can't stay with him

- I don't know

Our three years don't count?

Of course they do. Don't be stupid

What, then?

- Sex doesn't last

- I need both

What's he got?

He never stops, if you must know

- You b*tch!

- Stop it!

I'm going to kill you!

You're mad!

- Let me go!

- Who's holding you?

Louis! Louis!

Leave me alone!

Let him come! I'll brain both of you

- You'll be sorry

- Let me go!

Let me go! You're hurting me

Stop it!

Stop! Stop it!

Louis, let go of him. Stop it

Louis, please. Stop!

I don't like that at all

Who'll pay for the letterbox?

I've lost a button

I insist. You must pay for it

Look at it. My letterbox

is all crushed now

Just look at it

And my letterbox?

Who's going to pay for it?

- He will pay you

- Who?

Let's talk

- Can't I talk to him?

- All right, let's go then

Let's have a drink

Three pints, please

Let me. How much?

9 francs 60, sir

You must be hard up

I still have some money in the bank

How much?

Don't know

- About 500,000

- You won't go far on that

The trouble is, I can't find anyone

to take over your job

Someone who knows the bits

You can have it back

No, I don't want any more scenes

There won't be any

No more scenes

Mind if she worked with me?

- It's up to you two

- It'll only make you suffer

On the contrary

You know how it is.

I'll be seeing you, at least

It'll help, soften the blow

Well then?

I don't know

I don't know

We'll see

You'll phone me?

Don't be miserable

I'm not miserable

- Still using it?

- Yes, a few minutes

- Bring it back, OK?

- Yes

- May I?

- Yes

All right?

I like working with you

That's good, don't you think?

It has potential

Leave it

It's not for you! Leave it

You spoil him

- Take it off. It doesn't suit you

- It does!

OK, lovebirds?

No one's in love any more.

Everyone's getting a divorce

None of our friends have children

Annie and Michel are a real couple

Your brother and sister-in-law

are a joint-stock company

What do you do besides...

Here you go again

Can't I say anything?

Living in a hotel room can't be fun

Oh, I just close the door and

forget the whole world

Look, that's beautiful

"Cotton Weavers, New Orleans,

a detail"

- "Museum of..."

- "Museum of Pau"

You'll need glasses soon

I've never seen this Degas

What are you doing this weekend?

I may go to Amsterdam

Monica phoned. I'll be for it

if I don't go

You ought to go. You could

do with a change

Why don't we go together?

We could see the Rembrandt

exhibition

Oh, hell. See you Monday

- May I phone you tomorrow?

- What for?

- I want to

- You're just tormenting yourself

- What time shall I phone?

- I don't know

Five o'clock

Yes, it's me

You said I could phone

at five o'clock

You woke me up

What do you want?

Nothing. I want nothing.

Just to talk to you

I just wanted to talk, since you said

I could phone at five o'clock

Oh, go to hell. You're selfish.

You woke me up

What do you want then?

I want a jumper just like that.

In black, though

You have a look, and

I'll go and see my mum

At last, you layabout. And Remy,

I haven't seen him for two weeks

Hope he's not in trouble again

If he's been fired again, tell him

not to bother to come to me

- Wait for me

- All right

- What's up?

- Nothing. Yourself?

I'm waiting for my mum.

Doing anything tonight?

- Don't know. You?

- See you later then. 'Bye

Pierrot tells me you have

a new girl

A nice girl, it seems.

Not your usual type

If she's a nice girl, what's she

doing with you?

I hear you live in a hotel

- Who's paying?

- She is

Listen, isn't that a bit much?

Well, this is Nelly.

My mother

Yes, well... we'll walk you home

- I'll get some apples

- No, I want... get me tangerines

Pound of tangerines, please

Pretty, isn't she?

She's a kitten in love.

How did you do it?

Oh, that's life

I was never keen on that sort of thing

I got pregnant every time,

so it wasn't much fun for me

- How's work?

- All right

That's good

Here, take this

I can't

Go on. She won't miss it,

and it'll make me happy

Thank her for me, I'm embarrassed

Where are you going?

- Just for a round

- Don't be late

- Don't worry her

- I won't. See you

Recognize it? It's me

That was in primary school

You never wore a uniform at school

No, I gave her a photo and

she painted it like this

Shall we go, love? Ready?

Go on, hurry up

- They know we're coming tonight?

- Yes

- Make yourself at home

- Thanks

- All right?

- Fine

- You're going skiing in Megeve?

- Yes

- Deep-snow skiing?

- Yes

We're going "deep-snow" skiing

Right, just feel at home

If you want anything, help yourself.

I'll be back on Monday

- Leave the key under the mat

- Right, Jean-Louis. And thanks

Oh hell, what a pigsty

They dump all their rubbish

behind the screen

What are you looking for?

A photo of Diane. Here.

Pretty, isn't she?

I guess so. Rather common

We can't all be as refined

as you, darling

No bottle-opener

That's lucky

Get up and help me look for one

What else?

Found it!

Let me see. You look like

a schoolmarm

Sulking?

Moody, are you?

Don't love me any more?

You don't even like me

touching you?

Oh well, you don't get it

for eight days then!

You're pathetic

The music doesn't bother you

too much?

You're getting on my nerves
