There you go, in fact,

we invoice by the hour ...

and triple time after 5 hours,

and on Saturdays and Sundays.

Every hour started

is due, of course.

Of course...

There you go,

magnificent.

Come dear baroness.

Do not be afraid.

There you are...

Now you are ... facing the abyss.

While there, there ...

... A voice that calls us.

A voice that needs help.

Your voice.

You hear?

Hold your hand near

don't be afraid.

Let's go.

Wider movement,

wider.

And relax the pelvis.

So we release, we release.

When you sing, the whole body

resonates, the toes to the peritoneum.

Pull in the perineum also.

Ouch, like little Chinese.

Seems they are very strong for that.

Your husband will appreciate it.

Come on!

Ah, I shocked you?

If you want to sing, there will be more

to Baroness, more than good manners.

more than hypocrisy,

you are in the truth.

If that scares you, then stop

immediately my darling.

When you become fit,

you find yourself before a full house.

You must not apologize for existing.

Come on ... we resume.

Oh la la la la ...

Neither burn the stage, eh!

True, you have a little

tight cough in the throat.

I hear that ...

You must be open.

Otherwise it is useless.

That you should feel it, huh ...

Ah ... that's good.

Come on, breathe ...

Lunch is served.

Ah anyway,

We will get there Madelbos.

It will be very beautiful ...

No, there is a light in your voice ...

a generosity ... really.

Well ... we'll have to correct two or

three things, obviously hey,

but nothing of ...

and then,

insist to exist.

That is true...

insist to exist.

I only eat white food.

Rice, chicken, endives,

leeks.

Good going ... and ...

it makes you feel good?

It has something clear

that I like a lot.

Since I don't know what to eat,

I say to myself, at least it's white.

... It gives me a goal.

Ah ... yes. I understand.

I have an important question,

dear Master.

Do you think I should

continue to sing coloratura ...

or mezzo?

Yes, technically it is the only

real question indeed.

But it may be too soon

to conclude, right?

A voice is a living matter.

We'll see what she wants.

And above all it depends

on the rpertoire.

Ah, ah ... I just have a small list

with the tunes which

I thought for the recital.

Eighteen titles.

Purcell, Donizetti, Gluck,

hey well, they are all friends there

Do you believe that we will be

ready at the end of the month?

Some champagne?

Please.

Chin.

... So you can imagine being on stage.

before hundreds of people

writhing with laughter...

If her teacher finally said

she should give up

she will listen ...

She will find another ten meters

beyond what he tells her otherwise.

Then you tell her the truth.

Have some courage.

A life of lies ...

She would burst.

And me too...

of shame...

What does she want ?

Why is she doing this?

For you to look.

She succeeded.

You do not understand.

Marguerite, are you sure you

do not want me to accompany you?

I worked all day darling.

What you're wearing is new.

It's a gift from my teacher.

It looks like what the

Chinese whores go crazy for.

Today he forced me to stop

singing and do vocalizations.

You must tell everyone

that I'm completely crazy, right?

Ah, but I assure you.

I spoke to anyone.

Well, I am going to go.

Yeah ... it's exactly that, Marguerite.

Perfect !

We are progressing.

I would really love

some little chocolates.

Some round ones. Some small round

ones with nuts inside.

Yes.

Oh ... She doesn't hear us my friend

Don't you worry.

Just a little signature for my parents.

They have so much admiration for you.

I will return it to you later.

Ah ... I can't do this note.

I can't do it...

It's ... I'm sorry.

So what do we do?

Huh?

What we do with this

f***ing note at the concert?

We're going to go where like that?

No reason for me to grieve that ...

None.

I sang on the biggest stages

in vogue my sweetheart,

so now...

I'm sorry.

It's very ugly what you do.

This is lamentable.

There you are.

So much for the future.

You want to know the truth?

The real truth?

Huh?

Nobody dares to tell you.

You want to hear the truth?

Hey well you will never

coloratura soprano

Because you are mezzo ...

There's the truth.

And oh well if that does hurt.

It's like that.

Come on, we go back.

But I do not want you to hear ...

Sing, but I don't want to

hear you anymore.

Well obviously eh, no one

forced you to like that.

Through to the end eh ...

Marguerite ?

You're not going well?

Marguerite ?

A little patience.

You have a voice ...

the back of your throat ...

It's finished.

You can sit down.

Thank you Doctor.

You force, you force and then it cracks.

You're not the first

to whom it happens.

So right doctor ...

Don't you believe that this

is the moment to rest a little?

Take a break, let your voice ...

How, it is not possible ...

But you are preparing a recital,

I was told.

Yes, I'm full at work.

And what are you going

to sing, dear Madame?

Do you love the opera, Doctor?

I also sing myself, well just

like that in a small choir.

That makes me quite a fool.

Choirs have always found me

to have too particular a voice.

As a child, they refused to let me

sing with others.

So I was crying all the time.

Uh, right ... Doctor ...

when you checked my wife's throat,

are her vocal cords

are they quite ...

intact, well I mean ... normal?

What do you mean, normal?

I mean, there's no ...

deformation...

physical anomaly ...

morphological ...

... breaks ...

something damaged since childhood perhaps,

moreover, which would explain the

She strained it, she hurt herself.

It's not very serious.

She can continue to sing

as much as she wants.

Calm down dear Monsieur.

Thanks again.

You're welcome.

Thanks and good luck.

Goodbye Madame.

- Monsieur.

Marguerite ...

I would like to talk to you.

What Georges?

There it is ... for a long time...

finally...

I do not know how

to talk to you.

I have to tell you something important.

You are scaring me.

This recital project ...

this accident with your throat.

I see that you give your all entirely.

But I must...

When you look at me

I am willing to hear everything.

Here it is...

I find that you are very couragous.

I will not disappoint you Georges

I promise.

Well then ... we are at the bottom,

there is concern, we are told nothing!

We are told nothing

What did he tell you this charlatan?

Everything is fine.

I got two spades in a row ...

anxiety.

Marguerite hip hip hip!

- Hooray!

Hip hip hip!

- Hooray!

Oh ok.

And if nobody came?

Why do you want

nobody to come?

We have ads everywhere.

And everyone knows that

it's for a good cause.

Last night I drew a 7 of hearts,

three times!

And that's good?

A 7 of hearts?

Ah, excellent!

That's what she drew for me when I

made my triumph in Bucharest.

You remember ?

- Yeah yeah.

Seven recalls ...

They really wanted to stop.

Well, you have not chosen

the smallest room.
