Why do you look so tired?

You have dark circles under your eyes.

Maybe you're studying too much.

Let's do something about it.

Come with me.

Mama, what are you doing?

l'll be late for school!

Don't worry.

How beautiful you are, Justine!

Go show yourfather.

Let's give him a surprise.

Good day, papa!

Justine, haven't you left yet?

You'll be late for school.

Did you want something?

- No, it's just that l...

Take a look at your daughter!

Don't you see any difference?

- l see she'll be late for school.

Hurry up, or you'll miss

yourfirst class.

Yes, papa, l'm leaving.

You're insensitive,

you're absolutely insensitive!

She'll grow up by herself, Eliane.

Why rush it? ls there some reason?

Your daughter's already a woman,

whether you like it or not.

You're not very good!

Make way forthe expert.

l'll show you how to do it.

Grown up a bit, haven't you?

Pretty soon l'll have to start

calling you Mademoiselle Michoud.

Oh, one of your

stockings is messy, miss.

You have no permission to play outside

my shop, go on, all of you, out ofhere!

You too, go!

You come here!

Do you think l'm blind? Do you think

l didn't see you just now bending over

so he could look straight up your skirt?

- l didn't do anything!

Lies, nothing but lies!

You're nothing but a tease and l'm gonna

teach you a lesson, do you hearthat,

because l've had just about...

- Carmen!

Hear me well. Don't you

ever speak to her again!

Don't make me wait too long,

or l'll just come up and get her...

when you least expect it.

Think l'm not capable ofit?

Think l'm afraid? Of who?

You? Or your husband?

Justine, are you sleeping?

Want to join us for a moment?

l brought you some cake.

l'll leave it here for you, shall l?

Oh, l didn't say anything to yourfather

about what happened this afternoon.

So, don't worry.

Sleep well, my love.

lt is simply a question

of public order!

lf we start allowing prostitutes to be

our neighbors, this whole section will

become impossible. Am l right or not?

- l must say that you're going too far.

After all, this is the first case.

- But you are forgetting the children!

Eliane. Am l right,

or am l wrong?

l wouldn't really know, Yvonne. Whatever

the rest of you decide is fine with me.

Honestly, a signed protest to the

police? We're going to look like fools!

You needn't sign if you don't wish to.

Nobody's forcing you to.

Please don't insist we're fools

for attending to civic duty.

You say she was walking at night

along the street, almost naked?

Didn't you tell me that

you actually saw her?

l should say. Right in front of Eliane's

pharmacy! She had a marvelous pair of...

Forgive me, Eliane.

- Chocolate?

- They're not laxatives, are they?

- No, not aphrodisiacs, either.

Eliane, are you sure Justine

doesn't want to do anything...

No... no, she doesn't.

- Yes? - You know, Henri,

you're quite an expert.

l'm surprised you haven't

written a book on Art Nouveau.

Forthat matter, l don't know why he

hasn't written any books at all!

Novels, poems. A romantic play, perhaps.

l don't know exactly what first.

But he has, Silvane, he has!

Several ofthem.

And you never said a word

to us, you old rascal!

When have they come and gone?

- They were published 20 years ago.

Orwas it 21, Henri?

They were hardly bestsellers.

We have a basement full ofthem.

Why don't we give them as Christmas

presents to ourfaithful friends, Henri?

l'm sure they'd love them.

- lt was a youthful folly...

not worth mentioning.

- May l give you a hand?

- Oh, no thank you, it isn't necessary.

Oh, our charming young man!

Do you need anything?

ls there something you

need forthe pharmacy?

l've come for Justine.

My God!

lt's really no trouble! Please.

A pill for your daughter.

Remember, madame?

Oh, yes, thank you.

Thank you so much.

She has headaches.

Justine suffers from

terrible headaches.

Thank you very much.

l've made such a mess here!

l'm sorry, l've made an awful mess!

Don't botherwith that, darling!

Your shop boy is here.

Armand, take care ofthis, will you?

You'll find everything you need

in the kitchen. You know

where that is, don't you?

Of course, Professor.

l'll do it right away.

Pick up the other bit there.

Good.

lt has a funny effect, doesn't it?

Rather pleasant.

l didn't sniff enough

when l went upstairs.

lf l'd done it right...

that would have been

really something!

l knew it!

- Knew what?

- That you're a coward!

You needed the ether

to get up your courage.

l think you've got it backward.

Sometimes it's just about

peeing your pants.

Oh, sure. l'm a coward too.

So are you.

We both are.

Where are you going?

So l'm a coward, huh?

Now l'll show you.

What are you trying to do?

Don't move!

lf l wanted to torture you...

l bet you'd like it.

lf l wanted to cut you,

even kill you...

l bet you'd like that too.

You've already done that.

You can't do it twice.

Enemy attacks have been most

concentrated in the area to the south of

Omal and the Argonne region.

On the western side, armored divisions

are advancing in the direction of

the lower Siene. Several tank

divisions have been sighted at

Pont-de-l'Arche and Argino.

All panzers which attempted to cross

the river have been driven back.

Fighting has been particularly violent

around Montdidier, east of Beauval.

Our troops have been withdrawn

slightly in this area, but the enemy

has paid dearly for

the ground relinquished.

Carmen?

Mama?

There you are. Where are they?

Just tell me where you've hidden them.

l want to know on the quick about it!

- What are you talking about?

l know he's been writing to you.

Little notes...

for your secret little meetings.

That's right, isn't it?

- That's not true!

- Oh, yes, darling!

- lt's just not true!

- Yes, l know it is!

And l want to see them now,

do you understand that?

- lt's not true! There's nothing!

- You're a liar!

You're a liar. l know all about

your dirty little affairwith Armand!

- Ask him, ask him!

- Both of you, very clever!

But l'm not a fool, do you

understand that? l'm not a fool!

And l won't be taken

for a fool, either!

Where are they?

l want to see them.

Where are they? - What?

lt's a war, remember?

l'm not a fool!

And clean up this room,

it's like a pigsty!

The offensive advance of German troops

into French territory has been...

- Am l disturbing you?

- Ah, Justine. What is it?

Sit down overthere.

You won't disturb me.

Papa...

l have to tell you

something important.

Certainly, Justine. But let

me finish this. You mind?

lt's urgent!

Hello?

Oh, Eliane!

What's that?

l'll be right down.

They're here, Justine!

Come along and give me some help.

- Right now?

- These pieces are absolutely fantastic!

- But, papa! - Come on!

- Please...

You finished, Paul?

- Shall l take one too?

- Yes! But be careful, Justine.

lf you drop it, l shall have a fit!

- Sir? l'll give you a hand if you like.

Fine, make yourself useful!
