Pauline at the Beach Page #4

Forgive me.

I saw the TV on, so I came up.

Good. I went swimming.

It's chilly today.

Let's go down.

In that wet towel?

Right. I'll change.

Wait downstairs?

We're disturbing someone.

Someone?

Too bad for them if you know.

Hurry up. I want to get dressed.

Now you lend your bed?

I lend nothing.

I was on the phone,

and they snuck up.

I was chasing them out

when you came.

I was right to be wary

of that kid.

Where's Pauline?

Luckily, at home. Resting.

Better not tell her. Right?

If that boy tries to see her

again, I will!

Don't upset her for nothing.

I hope I'm not disturbing you?

I came now,

since I can't come evenings.

Why not say you won't come!

No, I can't. It's physical.

That guy literally repels me.

Well, he attracts me.

I loathe him. Do you know

what he reminds me of?

A snake.

I'm more like a snake,

with my serpentine figure!

I mean he's not attractive.

He just has you under a spell.

No, I've bewitched him.

Has he scored?

What an ugly word!

Not the word, the act!

Pierre, please.

The answer is yes!

Why go so far to get

what you have right here?

I feel so close to you.

Too close!

I don't want someone like me

but someone who complements me.

You're perfect.

You don't need anyone.

Everyone does.

Love is what allows us

to fulfill ourselves.

Love? Sleeping with a guy

you'll never see again?

That's love?

We'll see each other again.

People in love can go

anywhere on earth in two days.

I'll go see him,

or he'll come see me.

I'm not crazy.

l was crazy when I lived with a

guy who followed me like a dog.

You're like a nice dog, too.

Don't be too sure.

If Henri gets away from me...

No matter!

I'll dream of him

while we're apart...

and enjoy being with him

even more.

Better a few intense moments

with him...

than sharing a comfortable

life like yours.

I need to feel exalted.

Exalt yourself alone,

with your calling.

Calling?

Your work!

It's in Paris,

not the South Seas.

You're a flower

that only blooms on home soil.

Next you'll accuse me

of betraying France!

The things jealousy

makes you say!

You're into dime-store

exoticism!

Enough of him!

He's forgotten you.

It's your attitude I deplore.

Attitude!

I don't have an attitude!

I love a specific man.

You don't.

I love him and he loves me.

No, he does not love you!

You don't know!

No, you can't know.

I tell you I do...

and I can prove it!

Visual, physical proof!

If only I'd had a camera.

What do you mean? When?

Yesterday at his place,

while you were away.

He was with the girl

who sells candy.

You saw them?

I was passing behind his villa.

She was naked in his room.

Was he there, too?

I doubt she was alone!

Think I'm making it up?

No, you're not.

It's quite true.

Because I was there.

What?

Luckily, I stopped by

Henri's place on my way home.

The girl was there,

but with Sylvain.

So he lends out his room?

No, we had to chase them out.

I...we went up...

and they hid in the bathroom.

Was Pauline there?

No, she was home.

-Did you tell her?

-It's better not to.

If you'd made a play for her,

this wouldn't have happened!

If you both went for more

interesting guys...

it wouldn't either.

You both like guys

who don't care.

Henri cares!

See where your snooping leads?

Just stop it.

I have nothing more to say.

I'd sworn not to see you again.

I'm leaving.

Listen, Pierre.

You're incredible!

You want to tell people

what to feel.

I'd like you so much

if you weren't so jealous.

Well, I am.

I am because...

Because I love you.

To hell with it. I'm off.

You're leaving?

Take Pauline.

She wants to go to the beach.

So you can be with him! Go on!

But don't say

I'm curtailing your freedom.

Pauline, you coming?

Believe me...

she likes you...

a lot more than you think.

There!

Perfect!

Lean back...against you.

That's it. Perfect.

You can feel the wind, right?

Let's stop there.

We'll do some more later.

We'll get a bite to eat, OK?

There. You're not cold?

You don't want this?

Hi!

Have you seen Sylvain today?

No, I haven't.

Thanks. Bye.

That's OK. Bye.

If he was here, you'd see him.

It's strange. He told me

he'd be here today for sure.

When did he say it?

Two days ago, yesterday.

I was at Mont St. Michel.

He was sailing.

The day's not over.

We'll borrow a dinghy.

Look! The sea's lovely.

I don't want to.

What is it?

Don't cry just because

some creep stood you up!

He's not like that.

You don't know him,

and he's done you no harm!

Let's buy candy.

Want something?

Some peanuts.

-How much?

-5 francs.

I have the exact amount!

Listen...

You haven't seen Sylvain?

Sylvain? I haven't seen anyone.

I just got here.

See you!

Why ask her?

She doesn't know him.

She'd say anything.

One never knows.

You're acting weird.

You're making fun of me.

No, I'm not.

I was just trying to help.

Something's going on.

What did you all tell him

to keep him away?

I never spoke to him.

Not you, Marion, or Henri.

You're imagining things.

She'd do it.

She's turned you against him.

That won't stop me

from seeing him.

She didn't say a word.

All right, she did.

OK, you asked for it.

I have nothing against him.

I don't know him, but my advice

is to watch out for guys...

who cruise around picking up

girls on every beach.

He's not like that!

How do you know?

And what do you know?

Anyway, goodbye!

Listen, Pauline!

Let go! I don't want to hear

you say nasty things.

Thanks for

the windsurfing lessons.

I'll learn later.

Come on, let's go eat.

I'm not hungry.

Why do you all criticize me?

I could criticize you,

Marion, Henri, too.

Marion doesn't want you

seeing shady types.

She sees a few herself.

Henri's very shady. So are you.

You're all shady and tricky.

Sylvain is on the level.

On the level?

Yes, and you're

a dirty hypocrite!

What if he was with

another girl?

Go ahead, invent some more!

When, now?

Yesterday.

I didn't want to tell you,

but you're being had.

Ask Marion what he was doing

with the candy girl.

He was sailing.

He was taking you for a ride!

Ask Marion.

Let's go.

Not now. We'll disturb her!

Sorry to bother you...

but I've been called a liar.

He says such vile things.

Only what I was told.

What? You didn't tell her...

It's not true?

You didn't say that?

If I told you, it's because

I thought you could be discreet.

Forgive me.

I didn't want to hurt you,

but you've been had.

You're old enough

to know the truth.

Why did you tell that story?

Especially to a gossip.

I didn't tell him.

He saw the girl.

He was spying.

That's not true!

I wasn't spying. I passed by.

Sure.

Listen to me.

Nothing happened.

He really cares about you.

Nothing happened between them.

I swear.

She threw herself at him,

dragged him into the bathroom.

It's a pity Sylvain isn't here.

His sailing trip

was changed to today.

He had no way of telling you.

It's too bad I didn't see you.

Why don't you mind

your own business?

See what you've done?
