Paris Page #5

Sit down.

Please, sit down.

I'm really not

some Machiavellian pervert.

It was just awkwardness.

I was just trying to...

Sit down.

You didn't answer me.

What's your fantasy?

Manipulating students?

Not at all.

They've got video games for that.

If you're into virtual manipulation.

You pick a character

and go beep-beep,

like some a**hole!

All done?

All done what?

Have you gotten it out of your system?

Not enough.

I forgot it could be so good!

Has it been that long?

Ancient times!

See that old tome on that table?

I think the date is marked in there.

High Middle Ages!

I'd have to give my cock

a carbon-14 test.

You're funny!

No, I'm not funny.

I'm incredibly anxious.

Like all people who make jokes,

I'm filling the void, fear of death.

You can be pretty unfunny, too.

Are you okay with the student-

screwing-her-professor clich?

I even like it.

And are you okay with it, sir?

Please, make an effort.

Stop calling me sir.

Watch out for cars!

Wait, Jules.

Simone,

I hear you're in love with Nicolas!

No, I'm not.

- You said you were.

- No way!

What?

Being in love is good.

It's beautiful.

Yes, it is!

What can I get you?

I'll take some lychees.

A kilo of lychees.

In front of the flame.

You see?

It crackles.

Pierre!

Is it true there's no Santa Claus?

Of course there's a Santa!

Who said there wasn't?

My friend at school.

Your friend's a liar. Who was it?

- Kevin.

- He's an ass.

Mommy, can't we stay up late?

We'll miss Santa Claus.

Come here,

I wanna show you something.

What are you doing?

Where are you going?

Pierre, are you crazy?

It's freezing out!

See how beautiful it is.

See that?

See the Eiffel Tower?

Santa's gonna fly over it.

He'll tie his sleigh to the tower

and slide down.

It's cold.

You see? And then...

he'll go to all those houses

that are all lit up.

- Where will he come from?

- Over there.

He may come from over there.

Look! Behind the clouds.

Don't tell Mommy,

but I'll wait up till midnight.

If I see him, I'll wake you up.

Okay!

And we'll see Santa together.

Good night.

This may be my last Christmas.

And I may never make love again.

I'm doing a survey for...

I'm not interested.

Wait! I'm sorry.

Listen...

You're the 10th person

to slam the door in my face.

It'll be over in a flash. I promise

I won't be a bother.

- Yes?

- Okay.

You have a lovely view!

- Want something to drink?

- No, thanks.

I'll just

ask you a few quick questions

to sort of define your...

your profile.

Do you live alone?

Does that mean you have a boyfriend

but you live in separate apartments?

I don't have a boyfriend.

What business is that of yours?

I don't understand...

It's part of a...

I'm sorry, I'm expecting someone.

I understand.

So, have you ever...

taken part in a charity drive?

Oh, that's very good.

I'm sorry. I don't have much time.

No, but...

I'm doing a survey for...

what is it again?

For nothing.

I'll leave now.

I'm sorry.

So, I'll be going.

Thanks a lot, anyway. Goodbye.

Since I said I would...

B*tch.

Yeah, it's too bad.

She seemed nice, that girl.

I don't know why,

I had a good feeling about her.

Diedrich claims he's laying people off

because of budget cuts.

The youngest go first!

Precarity generates more precarity!

Social action is dead and buried

in France.

On every level.

You still single?

They don't come any more single.

Even my cat wants to dump me!

The socially oriented world

is dying!

I'm bound to get laid off.

I can barely pay my rent now!

I'm not even sure

I qualify for unemployment.

I'm gonna have to move.

Outta the city, no doubt.

They talk about diversity

but to live in Paris these days

you gotta be rich!

See what I mean?

You're not wrong.

This is kind of sordid.

Yeah, I don't know. A little...

You wanna kiss anyway?

I dunno. You?

Yeah, I think so. No?

Why not?

I figure, if we both want to...

Want to?

Go out, make love, live it up!

Do you wanna come into my arms?

For?

So we can kiss.

Now? Right away?

I dunno. No?

Yeah, but...

I gotta tell you something.

I'm not waxed.

No problem.

Beggars can't be choosers.

You're not taking that off?

Maybe later.

Sorry.

- That okay?

- Yeah, fine.

Oh, Daniela

Life's but a game to you

Oh, Daniela

But don't you believe

That you can

Oh, Daniela

Play with love

Without getting burned

One fine day

Hey, two filets of sole!

F*** you!

Bernard's the best rocker in Rungis!

The world envies us that.

In the States, they call him

The Tennessee Fishmonger.

Know what they call me

in Tennessee?

Le King Size.

Know why?

Here you go!

Thanks, Daniela.

From the bottom of my heart.

- Can I give you a hand?

- Gladly!

Stop!

Look at this!

Look at my wheelbarrow!

I just found it in the kitchen.

It's nothing...

Stop!

Stop!

Come on, get along!

- Come on, wheelbarrow!

- Stop!

We're just having fun.

- Caroline's laughing.

- Yeah, right!

What's the matter?

Caroline, are you crying?

Let me go.

She's not happy.

What? I guess

she doesn't like the wheelbarrow!

I'll just go comfort her.

- What's with you?

- You're not gonna comfort her!

- Haven't you done enough?

- Can't we fool around?

- You're screwing up the party!

- F*** off!

Can't we have a few laughs?

You bunch of jerks.

Let him go.

Two kilos is too heavy.

One kilo's lighter

but you only get half as many.

That's why I can't decide.

Take two kilos. We'll deliver 'em.

Really! Would you do that?

- Today's a holiday!

- Thank you!

So, we're in the same business!

- What do you do?

- Social worker.

Step right up! Buy your fruit

from the social worker!

Two kilos:
Free delivery!

She's nice, she's cute!

Step right up!

Get your smelly fish right here!

Caroline, deliver this to the lady.

Getting some cash for me?

Yeah, right!

There's not enough in your account!

The gentleman's a gigolo, to boot?

I didn't know.

Cut it out or you'll end up crying.

You like that, huh?

You're good at that!

I love it.

- How you traveling?

- On foot. Bernard took the truck.

I've got wheels.

Your place or mine?

Your place but I drive.

Right. Your place it is!

But I'm giving you a lift.

No, hold on.

My place, okay. But I drive.

Okay?

What are you doing here?

I brought you this.

What is it?

The view from your window.

You're completely nuts.

Wow, what a difference!

You wear glasses now?

I'm getting farsighted

in my old age.

It's so weird.

You getting older.

To me, you're still a little jerk.

You're more attached to the past

than I am.

- Why do you say that?

- I don't know.

You kept all our childhood pictures.

I don't have one.

So I came to divvy up stuff.

I give you that in exchange

for a few old snapshots.

Don't start blubbering, please.

You really are an a**hole.

What's with you these days?

I don't know.

I think it's that girl.

I'm in love.

I'm in love. I feel like I'm 15.

You see?

As strong as Descartes!

The same intensity.

I love it!

Dance some more!
