Rosetta Page #2

Synopsis: The first scene, like almost all others, is a fighting scene. A girl, about 18, is sacked from her factory work because her trial period is over. The girl, Rosetta, is quite upset and the cops will have to arrive to get her out. She has her reasons: she lives in a caravan, with her alcoholic mother. She goes looking for work as some go to the war. Treasons, murders are in her mind, if not in her acts.

You want me

to drop by the caravan?

- What you said is still on?

- What?

- You'll hire me if there's a vacancy?

- Yes, but it's green.

But will you?

I don't know,

I can't say in advance.

The entrance is on the other side.

What do you want?

If you need money,

I can lend you some.

- There's no need.

- And what about the flat?

I don't care about the flat.

What are you doing?

I thought it was the janitor.

I threw my strings.

- Your what?

- My strings, with my traps.

I've got one.

Give it to me.

Give me your hand.

I'm sinking!

Rosetta!

I'm sinking!

Catch it!

Quick, I'm sinking!

Pull.

I slipped.

Wring it more.

If you want,

you can dry at the caravan.

No, I'll go home and change.

- You didn't see me?

- I thought it was closed.

You want some coffee?

Come.

You come?

Come in.

It's warm, it will do you good.

Here.

You could bake my waffles for me.

I sell ten of those a day,

it's around 15000 a month.

You'd have a job.

Moonlighting's not a job.

It's better than nothing.

- You're open?

- In five minutes!

I take nothing, you keep it all.

You want it or not?

No, I want a real job.

Is the boss here?

Yes, in the back, in his office.

I come to see if you have any news.

It's too early.

I said I'd write, I have your address.

I gave you my old address.

OK, give me the new one.

- Grand Canyon.

- The camping?

252, Route de Marche.

Riquet, he's swindling you.

What?

He sells waffles he makes himself.

- How?

- He's got a waffle iron at home.

- How do you know?

- I saw it.

The waffles are under the counter.

- If I come, he'll know I said it.

- He'll know anyway.

Hi, boss.

- Where are they?

- What?

Don't f*** around.

Where are they?

Your waffles, where are they?

Over there.

What's that?

Why did you do it?

Give your apron back.

Come on!

Give it back!

Pick it up.

You owe me three days.

You owe me three days!

I said pick it up!

Give me my three days!

Piss off, you shitty little thief!

Piss off!

Here, put it on.

Let me go!

Why did you do it?

Come on, hit me!

Why did you?

To have a job.

Let me through.

When you fell into the water,

I didn't want you out!

You helped me anyway!

Let me through.

Here you go.

Forty francs.

Have a nice day.

- A waffle and an ice-tea.

- Right away.

Seventy-five.

- Two waffles, please.

- Right away.

Thank you, goodbye.

Eighty.

Thank you.

A waffle.

A beer.

Could I have a waffle, please?

Here. Forty francs.

Thank you, goodbye.

- Two beers please.

- Right away.

- Here.

- Thank you.

Thanks, goodbye.

Help me.

Sit down.

Is the boss there?

It's Rosetta.

I won't come to work anymore.

A gas bottle.
