Pauline at the Beach Page #3

You'll be more comfortable.

And Pauline?

She can come, too.

Marie's leaving.

It's a big house.

No. I'd be too embarrassed

to tell her.

What's wrong with her knowing?

I'm responsible for her.

Don't be silly.

She needs a boyfriend.

It's time she lost her cherry!

All right?

Of course not.

And Pierre's acting so jealous!

You told him?

No, he hasn't a clue.

He asked me to dinner tonight.

Without me, of course.

I don't mind.

Will I see you later?

No. I'm dining alone.

I'll stay home and go to bed.

I'm tired.

Pauline needs sleep, too.

We'll meet tomorrow.

I can't tomorrow.

I'm taking Marie back home.

I won't be back

until late afternoon.

Come to my house for dinner.

You come to my house.

It's my turn to invite you.

Will Pierre be there?

I'm afraid I can't avoid that.

I like him a lot.

But he's impossible.

It's all so complicated.

No, it's very simple.

Learn to live for the moment.

It'll make you stronger.

I'm so weak!

Come on.

How did it go?

Pauline, come back!

Have you had breakfast?

Why did you pretend

not to see us yesterday?

Your Henri gets on my nerves.

He's not mine. He's yours.

You introduced us.

He did it himself.

I barely know him.

We talked about boats one day.

He knows a lot.

But he's no friend.

You can't keep him

off the beach.

It's as much his as yours.

Maybe more.

It's in front of his house.

Why swim there? You have a car.

You could go elsewhere.

I like it there.

I'm not avoiding anyone.

Because...

he's there?

Maybe.

When he comes, I'll leave.

So you'll be alone.

You're out of your mind!

I don't get you.

You want to be free

and you see that guy!

I'm free to see who I want.

He's not interesting.

You're wrong! He is!

Since you insist...

he's more interesting than you.

I hate to say it,

but in all sorts of ways.

Compared to you, no.

Compared to me?

I'll be the judge.

Why are you making a scene?

You promised not to.

I can stand

that you don't love me...

but that guy's just

taking you for a ride!

He is not!

He's the one who said it.

He takes them as they come.

You don't mean

more than another.

Listen...

the more you knock him,

the more interesting he gets.

So let's drop this

and stay friends, OK?

I say it as a friend:

watch out for him.

Maybe he's dangerous,

but danger fascinates me.

Don't say that!

It's too bad

you're not my friend.

If you were, you could help me.

Help you how?

To resist this fascination.

Your jealousy

makes things worse.

You once could've

prevented me...

from marrying a man

I didn't love.

You'd already dropped me!

Because you were so jealous

and had a girlfriend.

I live alone.

I can still be your friend.

Go after Pauline.

I mean it.

She's just a kid.

You're teaching her windsurfing.

Why not love?

I hope you're joking.

Anyway, I don't stand a chance.

She only likes guys her age.

Boys her age

are stupid and brutal.

You'd do her a lot of good.

I'm not that dedicated.

Are you alone?

They're out there.

Are they going far?

She's a great swimmer.

She can go for miles.

And you?

I did OK as a junior

at 25 yards!

-Want to swim?

-Not right now.

Then let's sit down.

Did you think I'd come?

And you?

I knew you came here.

You came for me?

I wouldn't walk 5 miles

just to swim!

Maybe to see Marion.

Are you crazy?

Admit you like her.

Sure, who wouldn't?

But she's not exactly my type.

I like more natural girls.

Was that guy her boyfriend?

-Her brother?

-Think so?

I don't know.

They look a bit alike.

Anyway...

He's a friend.

She's married

but getting divorced.

It's your big chance!

That chick's not for me!

Do you have a girlfriend?

In Paris.

I was seeing a girl here,

but we had a fight.

You got a guy?

Loads!

So there's room for one more!

Won't be you!

Who said I applied?

I don't like to be touched.

-And all those guys?

-They don't dare.

They're not boyfriends.

Let's go for a swim.

Pauline! Come here!

Gone swimming yet?

We were just going.

I'd go with you,

but I have to go home.

I was in Rennes.

My car's in the garage.

-Marion not here?

-She's with Pierre.

Out there. See?

-Where?

-There.

Ah, yes! Amazing!

We were supposed to meet at six,

but I got back early.

I bought this on the way.

I had the tune in my head.

Remember, at the Casino,

they'd destroyed it.

Do you know it?

I'm going home.

If you want, come hear it.

Go on. Don't worry about me.

I have to stop by

the post office.

I'll be back.

If you leave,

push the door shut.

There's nothing to steal,

anyway. Bye.

I like that guy.

Is he your cousin, too?

No. We met the other day.

He picked you up?

He's a pal of Pierre's.

Isn't he your cousin's

boyfriend?

She only met him two days ago!

He's more likely to get her

than that other guy.

I'm for Pierre.

He's younger and more handsome.

Marion and he

are great together.

That guy's going to get her.

Want to bet?

Anyway, you won't get her.

Hi there.

How's tricks?

Give me some peanuts.

Here. Haven't seen you

in a while.

I was away at my brother's

wedding in St. Lo.

I may not stick around.

August was booming,

but now I'm bored.

You're not going swimming?

Alone? Let's go together.

I have to mail this letter.

I'm busy later.

Tomorrow morning?

I'm not here in the mornings.

We'll do it another day.

Henri, I was looking for you.

At my place?

You should've waited.

No. Do you know what's happening

at your place right now?

What? They're dancing.

Dancing? They're in bed!

I don't believe it!

What did you say?

I was so taken aback,

I was speechless.

Fine. Leave them alone.

Really!

Upset because of her parents?

No, just myself.

She shouldn't be picking up

idiots on the beach.

But she won't listen to me.

He's no idiot.

They're great together.

That girl's funny.

Candy apple?

No, thanks.

Then let's go.

No, not while

they're still there.

Here they come.

They didn't have time

to do much!

See you later.

Wouldn't it be simpler

if you moved in?

No, I have to watch Pauline.

I don't want her to bring

just anyone home.

At my place

I can throw them out.

It's better if you come

to my house.

For dinner?

Do you mind if I leave

at six a.m.?

It's the best time to work.

And that way,

your little cousin won't know.

I think she already does.

I'm glad.

The embarrassing thing

is telling her.

Wait.

Are you coming with us tomorrow,

to Mont St. Michel?

Mont St. Michel?

Tomorrow? You're joking!

Pauline wants to see it.

She needs something to tell her

parents when she gets back.

Besides her amorous escapades!

No...tourists bring out

the murderer in me!

And your little cousin

doesn't seem too fond of me.

I think...

she wanted me to fall in love

with Pierre.

Come here!

The girls went

to Mont St. Michel.

I just stopped by

in case they hadn't.

I was going sailing, but it was

put off till tomorrow.

Come for a swim with us.

OK. I'm coming.

Do you like it?

Come on.

Hey! The girl's coming!

Tell her to hide! Hurry!
