the devil?

Who's that girl?

The Prof's daughter.

Doesn't like boys

Whats this?

A Swiss knife

Its for you

Its nice, thanks

A soul, how would you

describe it?

It is highly volatile

Speaking of volatile...

Hurry up, hurry up

You scared me. Stop it,

Im on duty

What do you care whether those

bastards eat or not

How about letting me taste?

Justines coming back

It tastes better from your hand

Let me go.

Madame won't be happy

Who cares?

But shes not good now

It's damn sure her husband

won't make her happy

Watch out for the rooster

And Fougerasse Lavignole?

Lavergnole

Lavergnole, still nothing?

No, but it's always a long wait

with him

Her husband?

No, her impresario.

I suppose her lover

You know what lover means?

Are you going to show a film?

Dont talk at the table

Leave it. Yes, about

Anna Karenina

Are there any lions?

I know something's gone wrong

Oh, the rooster

Oh, thats right, just like dogs

You, stallion, go back

to your stable

we'll talk about this later.

And what's that?

Its the rooster

Pick it up

Cover up

It's not my fault, they jump

out by themselves

Come here; Ill fix you...

Here

No wonder, missing a button

Go on. The rooster!

Hey, baby, show the ring

to Madame

You love jewels

You've come

It's tiny

It's an investment

Exquisite

My dad is the only man

who could find diamonds

in the bottom of a sink

Is he a plumber?

Charles father made a fortune

in bathroom fixtures

My wife adored jewellery

Youre always thinking

of your mother

A real b*tch

May I have my ring back, please?

The rooster was fit to be tied

You remember coming here

when we were kids?

Is it still a long way?

Wait for me!

Wait for me!

I can't go so fast

It hasn't changed

Hey, wait, slow down,

I have to pee

One for all and all for one

Let's stop here

With a horse, at least

nobody has to pedal

Its dirty

You're never happy

Look, it's Charles

A breakdown?

You can't get anywhere

Okay, you win. Come on.

Take care of my bike

Hey, what're you doing?

- lm looking for something.

- What?

Would it be a Swiss knife?

Yeah, I suppose

How come youve got it?

In a way, I did a trade

For what?

A secret

What?

It's about Charles.

You can tell hes in love

You sure?

He's sticking his lips out

Stop, you're tickling my ear

Your cheek's all red

Where would l get make-up?

From Claires.

Later, Ill tell you a terrible

secret about Charles

Ah yes, what secret?

Go ask her to dance

I don't know how to dance

Neither does she, go on

I can't dance

I want to

You dance terrific,

like in the movies

Is this what the priests

teach you in school?

It's the last bottle

The Mayor wants a word.

He refused to go away

He can return tomorrow when

Edward is here

He insists

I'll see him

Save a little champagne.

I shall surely be needing it

Wait, I'm really thirsty

That's the rhythm

She doesn't know how

Time to learn. Shall we try?

I don't want to anymore

Just when I was getting good

That was the Mayor. He wants

extravagant payment

And all for a water bill

The Popular Front,

what nonsense

Professor... it's the last one

Naturally it hasn't

been chilled

And your hiccup?

It's fine

July 5, 1939...

I danced with him

Feeling his warm breath

on my skin drove me crazy

I think he loves me, but we

mustn't. We must be strong

I rather pity cousin Julien,

poor fellow

If he knew a great love,

it would transform him

My goodness, it's all

so difficult

A soul

Its cold!...

Who is it?

Its me

Not now

Its urgent

Come in

What do you want?

I have to talk to you

It can't wait?

Please, leave us

Well, go on

I can't watch you play the fool

with that man

Together you look ridiculous

What man?

You know who

Close your eyes

What?

Close your eyes. I'm rinsing

Go on

And have you thought

about Claire?

Care to scrub my back?

Oh sh*t

Im bored here. You want

to play anything?

Quiet, Im thinking

What good's that? You want my

advice? You're wrong to think

Look at Charles; he never

thinks, and he makes out

Whos that? Julien,

come and look

Don't make any noise, quick

Julien, hurry up...

you won't regret it

What happens when you see

a naked girl?

Come on, quick, don't want

to miss this

Help!

One, two, one, two

How do you do?

Why are you stopping?

Anything wrong?

Motor's overheated.

Want to swim?

I didn't bring a bathing suit

Who cares?

Wait a sec. Can I drive it?

Okay, take my place

Do I start the engine?

Later. Well, you see...

this leg here...

you use to accelerate

But the other one, this one

here, puts on the brakes

Your hands are icy

Look, relax, you're a bundle

of nerves

The keys

What about the keys?

- They fell down there.

- Where?

- Somewhere down there.

- I can't see

Oh, the flowers. I'd better go

get a nice bouquet

Don't see any keys

Stuck. Oh, damn

Move over. Ill do it

I'll look for those keys

Sh*t, I cut myself

Are you hurt? Let me see

Help me

You're bleeding

Don't leave me like this

No, please...

youll make me fall

No, please stop feeling me

You've got long legs

Because you're on your knees.

Oh, get up, get up

Im fine here

You must stop

There's a grease stain on

your dress

Look, we could go swimming.

Oh, let me go. A wasp

Did I do something?

No, a wasp, it stung me

- It did? Where?

- On my thigh

- Show me where

- No, not on my foot

Your foot, yes

The keys,

I see the keys

Where?

Monsieur, you have traces

of red on your lips

Thank you, Lacroix

Crap

Hello, Papa dear. Didn't forget

my bridal gown?

No, of course I brought it

Look at that

What's it like, describe it?

Lace everywhere

That's great, bravo

Enough ribbons, you're sure?

Yes, lots of ribbons.

Hello, Mathieu

Here, Mathieu, you take it,

but handle it gently

Just a second. Here, Mathieu,

something for you

Come on, let's get inside

Charles, don't look,

it's bad luck

It won't make a difference!

What a silence

Close the window,

it attracts bugs

There, on your desk are

Tomorrow

Tomorrow. You must speak to

the Professor and to Clementine

They both owe for three months

She was up for a big role

A flop. Ah, the Mayor

was around

He wants to speak to you

How will you ever pay

all those debts?

My boat is so small...

and the sea is so large

Now you have a boat?

A small point, thanks

What delicacy:
I get the same

as the farmhand

In the old days,

you preferred artists

You're right, it does

attract bugs

You may not notice from your

boat, but you have a family

including a son...

who, at the moment is in

the depths of puberty

Oh, what a pleasure to chat

I remind you, you're marrying

off your daughter cheap

You're the one who's marrying

her off... to a toilet bowl

Enter, don't stay there,

it's only me

I can't sleep

What're those?

My first souls

Pink for girls?

The colours are for pleasure.

The souls have no sex

Where do you find them?

When anyone dies, hup.

I reach out and catch one

I've had this one here

for 20 days

Pascal Lainé

Pascal Lainé (born 10 May 1942 in Anet, Eure-et-Loir) is a French academic, novelist, and writer. Awarded both the Prix Médicis (1971 for l'Irrévolution) and the Goncourt (1974 for La Dentellière), Pascal Lainé has published over 20 novels and has written for television, theater, and film. While recovering from childhood illnesses, Lainé discovered novelists Alexandre Dumas, père and Victor Hugo, aspiring to their kind of voluminous writing, but in school he focused on philosophy and history, becoming an avid student of Immanuel Kant, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Martin Heidegger. He was also drawn to Marxism (both by conviction and from a desire to rile his parents) and he chose Russian as his second foreign language, permitting him to read Anton Chekhov and Fyodor Dostoyevsky in the original. Lainé studied philosophy at l'École normale supérieure de Saint-Cloud and began his career as a teacher first at the Lycée technique de Saint-Quentin and later at the Lycée Louis-le-Grand in Paris. He then became a professor in 1974 at the Institut universitaire de technologie in Villetaneuse. He currently serves as an administrator at the Société des auteurs et compositeurs dramatiques (SACD). With Rimbaud, he discovered the "fireworks" of poetry, and in Mallarmé he discovered the pleasure of deciphering a text and studying its structure. He is also fascinated by Witold Gombrowicz: "I felt with this joker, this aristocratic Rabelais an instant kinship. He taught me that a writer gives up his homeland and is always a foreigner wherever he finds himself." more…
