Marguerite Page #3

---

They even offer to pay me.

It's amusing, right?

Hmm... well you know ...

I do not know if our Circle friends

will appreciate it much if

you go sing

in this kind of place.

We do not know those people there.

So...

- Then come with me!

There will also be a tribute

victims of war.

Military, public officials ...

a film screening ...

I thought that with your

reconstruction business ...

it fell together nicely.

Imagine...

singing in front of a real audience.

The curtain rises ...

the lights...

...the room.

I do not even know who

will be there in that audience.

Imagine if someone threw tomatoes at me.

It happened to the larger Madame.

One day we should

throw artwork on tomatoes.

That would make a change.

I'll carry Madame's gift to the car.

Monsieur, would you prefer if I

prepared Madame's car?

No no, this one will work.

It is a sensitive engine.

Powerful but fragile.

Is Madame ready?

More than ever, Monsieur.

Go Marguerite!

Oh no, no no no!

I do not understand what

happened, Marguerite

I promised them we'd arrive before noon.

It must be a problem

with the spark plugs or condensor..

I do not know.

I'm really sorry Marguerite.

Oh no !

What are we going to do ?

Everyone is waiting for me ...

It's so stupid.

I was joyful ...

A car.

Madelbos!

It's Madelbos!

Ah ... Hmm!

Madelbos!

These were left behind

in Madame's room. I am sorry.

We will take this car Madelbos ...

the other one never works.

It is a powerful but fragile engine.

Come on ... we'll be late.

It is important...

Onward for music !

Listen!

Listen, patriots!

Charlie Chaplin, the famous Charlot

just arrived in Paris.

... with singers, painters,

and dancers.

A show not to be missed on earth!

Ah, my beauty!

There you are you!

How are you going?

Michel! Finally! This time it's only a

small orchestra, but come see this.

Hello.

- Hello.

It's Michel Aurenbach.

He composed something for me.

Divine.

So what is it here?

What are you up to?

Kyrill in his element.

It's crazy to us!

Will you explain what

you want exactly?

The surprise must be total.

Nobody can see you before, okay?

You stay well hidden.

I promise.

Sit down.

It is I who will come for you

to go on stage.

Just on the other side.

it is not far from us.

When you have commenced singing,

whatever happens...

you keep singing to the end.

Whatever happens ... Agree?

I have to warm up my voice ...

And go over my second verse again.

I love you.

At what time do you make

your speech, my friend?

I ... I'm not speaking!

It was my wife who

has to give a recital.

But they told me it was a debate

on the crisis of change.

The crisis... of change?

No no no. It's an error.

I came to see Monsieur Chaplin.

It was you who invited Marguerite?

She loves Kyrill.

It was she who wanted to come

to buy her paintings.

You are going to swoop on

a lot of money, like that?

And she is very happy to leave

his campaign if you want to know.

It's going fine.

Is it chic enough for you here?

- I'm fine.

More bread!

More liberators!

More cursed classes!

More false thses!

More religion!

More Republicans!

More royalists!

More specialists!

More anarchists!

More existentialists!

More poetry!

- That's enough. it's obscene!

More police!

More proletarians!

More Democrats!

More bourgeois!

More Aristocrats!

More army!

More louts!

More homeland!

Anyway ...

Enough of all these stupidities!

More nothing!

More nothing! Nothing!

Nothing ! Nothing ! Nothing ! Nothing !

Nothing ! Nothing ! Nothing !

It will soon be yours Marguerite.

Are you okay? Are you ready?

The audience looks to me very ...

...reactive.

They are right.

And Marguerite?

This is the best day of her life.

They do not deserve all these idiots.

# Let children of the fatherland ...

# The day of glory has come.

# Against us tyranny ...

# The bloody banner is raised...

# The bloody banner is raised.

# Can you hear in the countryside,

# Blared the wild soldiers.

# They are coming into your arms

# Slay your son and your companions,

# To arms citizens!

# Form your battalions!

- The voice of France!

# March, march ...

- Down with the low floor profiteers ...

Marguerite !

- Who want to destroy ...

and speak of rebuilding!

# Impure blood ... ...

# Water our furrows,

Damn to the beauty!

# ... of the Fatherland!

# Lead and support our avenging arms!

# Freedom ! cherished liberty ...

Thank the police.

You were great!

It is very beautiful !

They didn't want to keep me there.

Thank you...

I have no right with my voice.

I'm stupid.

Oh la la ...

My husband...

Do not let them.

You are a true artist.

A truth. Nobody has the right

to prevent you from expressing yourself.

Hazel!

Hazel!

Next time, we will let you sing.

I promise.

There, there was a misunderstanding ...

You are still grumbling.

- Hmm ...

Don't listen to bastards like me.

She was wonderful ...

Can't you stop your accent

once a year?

But Lucien if you believe me,

you'll believe anything.

Look at you, you have become

a human treat.

I do not know what

to tell you Marguerite.

I do not know anymore.

Come Marguerite.

Sit down.

I lost two sons in combat, Marguerite.

So I can not accept someone that

ridicules our national anthem.

Why ridicules?

I also wanted to pay my

tribute to our soldiers.

and I did it with all

the love of the world.

This was certainly not

the place, Madame.

A woman of your quality,

has nothing to do with small

exhibitionist anarchists

Bolsheviks, extremists,

forward thinkers.

What I don't know is, in times

as troubled as today,

what can they bring

to our society?

To our artistic heritage?

Freedom.

I risked my life

to defend freedom, Madame.

Precisely the Marseillaise is the

Song of Freedom.

Therefore, wouldn't we have freedom

to sing the Song of Freedom?

According to our customs, our Circle

will now meet ...

and make a decision.

I understand.

Enter Marguerite.

I wanted you to be proud of me,

and I led you to the madhouse.

I understand the anger of

our friends, Marguerite.

Me too.

Next time, I will

not make the same mistake.

What do you mean ?

The next time ?

Georges ...

this little stage...

I felt something very new.

Something important...

What are you saying?

Well, it is the audience

which makes music live.

The audience ...

Without them nothing exists ...

nothing is alive.

Not necessarily.

Without the audience ...

uh ... we are in ...

in the secret of the music.

alone with it ...

in its mystery.

Ah, it's beautiful. It's beautiful too.

I'll organize a real concert Georges.

In front of a real audience.

How? ... A real concert ...

But this time, in the rules of art,

a classical recital.

in a classic ballroom.

But...

We can not give

a show like this ...

overnight...

But I worked for

years darling.

Then we can organise ...

a big concert here!

With our friends of the Circle,

as usual !

But more then ...

But they come slamming their
