Police Page #6

Could I have a whiskey?

Listen... she takes it all

so seriously.

She's too much. Thanks, madam.

Didn't we... one night...?

Can't remember everything.

I remember you very well.

You haven't changed a bit.

- What, ten years ago?

- Don't put me on.

I swear...

maybe it's the dress...

There's a lovely,

vibrant woman under there.

- Flattery will get you nowhere!

- No, I mean it...

I'm sick of tending bar.

I'm going to sell.

- To do what?

- I'll go away.

There are 4000 law firms

in Paris.

About 20 handle the big deals

and make big money.

as for the rest...

Where do you fit in?

Nowhere.

My future lies elsewhere.

Like where?

The bench.

One day I hope to be a DA

or a judge.

Do judges wear diamonds

in their ear?

- I'll take it out in court.

- Are you sure?

Shall we go dancing?

No, not me.

I'm heavy after dinner.

I'm going anyway.

If she's going...

Let's go shake a leg!

"You're still the same

sweet Sally... "

She didn't believe I was meeting you.

She thought it was another woman.

I don't care if it's another chick.

You two really...

look like you're made...

That's what I tell her.

- Made for each other.

- Made to make it?

Coming, Marie Vedret?

I've been through that too.

- Is it over now?

- I'm a widower.

Vedret, you sulking?

- You're a bit edgy?

- You could say that.

- And mysterious.

- Yes, and I don't know why.

That's your business.

Marie, I want you. Can we stop?

You'd like me to say: "Go ahead"?

You didn't appreciate that...

You're free to get out.

You're nuts, Mangin.

Let's just say

it was in poor taste.

Really? Why?

Two little cops making it!

Is that so bad?

You actually considered it?

Yes, I did.

Not me.

I'd never go with a detective.

Go with? I said go to bed with!

And as for your crafty behavior...

Weren't you trying to turn me on?

Lydie, all we need now is Dd!

Cut it out!

West Indians are the fastest

at turning girls into hookers!

can't hold onto the girls!

- They sure have rhythm!

- OK, so what?

Easy, Lydie!

Now I see why you kicked me

under the table earlier.

You put Dd inside,

so now I go for his chick!

- You OK?

- Fine.

Not dancing?

I don't come here to dance.

But go ahead.

I'd buy you a drink, but here

the women do the buying.

- I don't have a nickel!

- Business is lousy now?

No, wait... cool it...

You're flying tonight!

Sure. Or I couldn't face my work.

And I'm just working

for someone else!

Why'd you make such a thing

about Dd?

That's a nice chain.

- Can I have it?

- What next?

You can have mine.

Don't you want it?

Lousy swap...

Yours is worthless.

It has great sentimental value!

You don't like it?

Feel like dancing? Let's dance.

You're a terrific dancer.

We're being neglected!

Having fun, Noria?

- Shall we split?

- Yeah, let's.

There are highs and lows...

Sometimes you wind up alone,

or if you don't,

you wonder why

you're with some slut.

You gripe about that a lot?

My mom didn't love me.

So I'm getting even with women.

You enjoy finding excuses

to act macho.

It's just that... Get in.

Shall I drop you at your car?

Then we can have a night cap.

I'll take my car so you won't

have to take me home.

Yes, but...

Can I ask you a question?

Would you treat me

the way Lambert did earlier?

Not you.

Why not me?

Maybe you're not

what you seem to be...

You're intimidating.

I don't know how to take you.

I don't want to be taken.

Because your guy's in jail,

you can't go with just anyone.

Lambert isn't your type.

You look pathetic together.

You made a dumb move.

Is he a good lay?

He fell in love with me instantly.

Sure...

It helps to have a good lawyer.

I see. Having a business

relationship with you

gives one additional rights?

Not at all,

leave me alone, you're crazy!

Come on, kiss me.

Stop! You're nuts.

This is ridiculous.

Let go of me.

This is really ridiculous!

Yes, it's ridiculous.

You think you love a woman...

For a moment it seems possible,

then it becomes ridiculous. Sorry.

But I seriously believed it

for a moment.

I did...

I know.

So what do we do now?

We'll drive around.

Let's get the papers

on the Champs-Elyses.

I feel like reading the papers.

Kiss me.

I've never loved anyone.

I have.

When you love someone...

I loved him so much...

I thought we'd live a long time

together. It's silly...

Once you've had a love like that

and it's over, you grow bitter.

You think it's safer never

to believe in anything anymore.

I feel lousy...

like I have no future.

I feel I've wasted my life.

No, you'll be fine.

It'll all be fine now.

What are we doing here?

We're like two kids...

That's what I like about it.

We've got the whole night to spend

talking without a care in the world.

I haven't done that

since I was 15 or 16.

It'll soon be light,

I have to go.

My train's in an hour.

Hello, can I speak to Mr Mangin?

No, it's for me.

Doesn't matter, thanks.

Can I have that second number?

I'm OK... No... Yes...

Simon's brother dropped off a bag...

The youngest one.

I don't know...

he said not to look in it.

Go take a look!

There are 2 guns in it.

What'll I do?

Nothing. You didn't see them.

If they ask you to meet them

with the bag, don't go!

When are you back?

Tomorrow. Another thing...

Use the new bolt-lock.

They don't have the key to it.

You visit me less and less.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

But I'm losing faith.

Don't lose faith.

They can't keep me in here long.

I know, I'm trying...

I'm doing everything I can.

If we had to part,

I think I'd always love you.

I'll never forget you.

Even if I'm with another man.

I swear I'll never love another.

You know what happens

to girls who do that?

Are you saying

you want to leave me?

- No, I swear I don't.

- If you want to...

I don't want to.

You're good for me, I know it.

Not like your brothers.

I don't want to knock your family,

but it's true.

They'll never let you be happy

with any woman.

All they think about

is their money!

I'll wind up a hooker.

That's what they all want.

Noria, listen.

You mustn't end up like that.

There's no point in becoming

a hooker like the others.

If you need money, ask Ren.

Sure!

What about this robbery? Our people

don't steal from each other.

- What's all this about?

- What robbery?

All our money was taken.

They said you did it, Noria.

See how you are!

I know you didn't do it.

I trust you.

I love you. If I'd done it, I'd ask

for your forgiveness, not theirs.

It's none of their business.

I want to believe you.

I really do,

but these are serious matters.

It's a family matter.

Swear to me

- you had no part in it.

- I swear it on my life.

- Sweating it out, ladies?

- She's boning up.

So, Vedret...

You're into the final stretch...

tomorrow's the big day!

You'll be taking your exam.

In 2 days she'll snub you.

She'll be a superintendent.

Some make the decision fast,

others wait around...

Wait around? I can't spend

my whole life studying...
