Personal Shopper Page #3

Where?

Thanks for answering.

Where??

I won't be in London.

Are you relieved?

Or disappointed?

What do you want?

You.

Not physically.

To make contact.

First.

I've prepared everything Kyra asked for.

Two dresses she picked

from the photograph,

and a third one that didn't photograph

so well but I think she'll like it.

Which one?

This one there.

It's silk organza.

In a photo you lose some

of the sheen but,

It really plays well with the light.

Oh yeah, it's cool.

It's really cool.

The harness comes in

different colours as well.

- Can I see them?

- Yeah.

There you go.

We've got gold, black and nude.

In black.

Not for all tastes, but I think

it'll look amazing with Kyra.

Do you want to try it?

Come.

Unknown:
I suggest a game.

I hate games.

Sorry.

You want to try the dress?

No, I'll take it in two colours

so that she has the option.

Cool. I'll get it all packed up for you.

Unknown:
Then not a game.

Something else.

Meaning??

Are you waiting for your train?

Yes.

So answer my questions.

Do you want to be someone else?

Yes.

Who?

I don't know.

I can't know for you.

Tell me something you find unsettling.

Horror movies.

Why?

A woman runs from a killer and hides.

What you find unsettling is fear.

Are you often scared?

No.

Unknown number

I'm on the train.

I'll drop the stuff off this evening.

When do you get back?

Even if it's early afternoon,

It's okay. It'll be ready for you

in a garment bag.

I have to pick up

the jewellery from Cartier,

but everything, they said, is ready.

I would prefer it in euros

if that's not a problem...

You know you could ask your driver to

stop at an ATM on the way back from CTG.

It'll take two seconds.

It was 400.

We agreed on 400.

There are a couple of

taxi receipts as well.

See you tomorrow.

Yesterday, I tried on the shoes

of the woman I work for.

Why are you telling me?

Because she wouldn't let me try them on.

So the answer is what's forbidden?

No desire if it's not forbidden.

What else is forbidden?

Unknown:
Answering my questions?

Yes.

Unknown:
Are you back?

Yes.

Your place?

Kyra's?

How do you know?

You want to try on Kyra's dresses?

Yep.

Because it is forbidden?

I did it.

You're scared.

Yeah I am.

I thought you wanted to be someone else.

How are you?

You're sure the spirit isn't there,

anymore?

Yes.

She vomited this ectoplasm

and left.

And the ectoplasm lingered for a minute,

or less and then also disappeared.

Do you have an idea of what she wanted?

She was really angry. Very violent.

Maybe she had a score to settle.

I think she was lost.

I don't think she wants to come back.

I don't think she'll be there again.

And what about Lewis?

It's been 95 days.

Jrme and Cassandre

are getting the bigger house.

Good.

You know, Lewis really loved them

so that's...

perfect.

What about you?

What'll you do with the money?

Nothing.

Nothing.

I don't know.

I'm not sure I can buy something else.

I'm not confident enough

about the future.

I feel you.

I don't think you understand.

I definitely understand. Trust me.

I met someone.

You met some..., like you...

Oh!

Look,

You must've known them before.

Well, kind of...

A friend of a friend.

After Lewis died, he reached out to me,

and we grew closer.

You're shocked.

No. Good. I think it's...

I was expecting it but like, of course.

I'll always love Lewis,

but I can't spend my life in mourning.

I'm not interested in mourning,

Like suffering in pain,

I've had enough.

I think now I want life.

The other day, you said

Victor Hugo actu... you know, you said

that he communicated with spirits...

What did you mean by that?

Like actually talked to them?

When he was exiled in Jersey,

he turned tables.

Like he conversed with famous

historical figures like,

even biblical ones.

It's pretty out there.

How?

How?

I don't really know.

I mean literally.

Like verbally or with an alphabet?

No, no, not the alphabet. They tried,

but the spirit refused.

So what did he do?

With a pedestal table.

The leg would tap on the floor like,

once for "yes", twice for "no".

Like one for "A", two for "B"

and so on like,

26 for "Z".

That would take an unbelievable

amount of time.

Yeah. There were pages and pages

of transcriptions.

Well, that's gotta be bullshit.

- That's invented.

- Ah, no, no, no.

- There's no way that happened.

- No he really believed it.

It was not intended for publication.

So, why invent it?

I think whoever did the transcripts

must have adapted them,

filled in the gaps.

So, like stenography?

Kind of.

Yeah, that's a good analogy.

But if you're interested,

there's a TV movie from the sixties

that depicts the seance.

It's really tacky, but seems accurate.

I'll find the title for you,

but if you type in like:

"Hugo+Jersey+Turning Tables"

on YouTube, you will find it.

Crazy dog, aren't you?

"Victor Hugo in Jersey."

The being called the white lady asked me

on the first day a thing that I did.

I know that a being, afraid

of coming, ran away.

Is there someone here?

If yes knock once...

If no knock twice.

Before I ask you who you are,

I'll ask you a question.

But first, this question, do

you see it in my thoughts?

Do you want to answer it?

Then talk.

The mountain is my grave.

I'm God's breath, I go up and down,

I want the sky and the Earth wants me.

The stars pull me by my hair and the

nails of the coffin hold me by my feet.

The darkness screams to me: "Down!"

And the Sun says "Up!" to me.

I'm the uncomforted of the horizon.

I'm the night watcher

of countless graves,

emptying his eyes in empty skulls.

I'm the cause of bad dreams.

Vincent can see the plain.

That is a reason.

I'm everywhere but

I'm not sure what.

I get up and go to bed.

Unknown:
Send me a picture.

I prefer you like this.

I feel ridiculous, it's not me.

I'm ashamed of myself.

I don't know why I came.

Keep the key. You'll be coming back.

- Excuse me.

- Yes?

I need to know what name

was room 724 was booked under?

Okay, just a second.

724...

It was...

Maureen Cartwright, I have.

No, I'm Maureen Cartwright.

Who paid for the room?

Just a sec.

I'm sorry, there is no

credit card information.

Was paid in advance in cash.

Do you remember if it was

a man or a woman?

I don't know. I was not working

at that moment.

Would you ask a colleague?

Do you know...?

It's a big hotel.

I'm not sure I can help you with that.

Thank you.

These are the five pieces

of your selection.

And particularly the "Pont des Arts"

of the "Paris Nouvelle" collection.

Made of 18 carat rose gold

and fine stones.

C'est bien.

Yes, it's perfect.

The necklace, the bracelet,

the ring and the watch,

but excluding this.

I've never seen that.

Okay. We'll focus on these four.

- Okay.

- I'll prepare them for you then.

Merci.

You're welcome.

And this one is brand new,

first time released.

So nobody has it.

Oh, good. That's important. Thank you.

Hey Kyra, you back?
