What do you do with them?

I just observe... then

I let them go

They're not property,

not my souls

Here today, gone tomorrow

Like love?

Like love. You are unhappy,

young man?

It is good now and again.

Too much joy makes you an idiot

Take a look... I was teaching

at the University

I had a big house, a wife...

Ah, the sun, you'd think

you were in Italy

I was in a film there,

a costume site

Florence, Sienna, Capri

Spaghetti

Mussolini

With Gustave, the Venetian

marmalade

Venice isnt only canalettos

Eating flowers now?

Lets talk of Gustave

He sees a casino, he gambles

away our shirts

He was so sweet afterward

He had a splendid death.

Where's my daughter?

With her horse. A brilliant

idea you had

you flat broke and you give

her a horse

A tiny present for her

graduation

You marry off your daughter,

so you can fix up your house

Charles, where are you?

Im right here, baby

What're you doing?

Im thinking

About your breasts

Think of something else

That's worse

You're not thinking about her?

Who's her?

You know very well

You mean the kid? What an idea

You're lying

Id like to know what's

going on in your head

Hey look, it's Charles

Hey kids, scram

To your house

Com on, I have an idea

Hello, little sheep

Whats wrong now? Get down

I admit, I prefer you like this

You're sleeping?

Shall I show you what we'll do

in Venice?

Close your eyes

You feel how warm I am?

Now, you promise me to be

very good

Charles, a sheep is stealing

your car

Can I come in?

If you Like

My poor Monsieur Julien, still

getting punished?

You're too old for stunts

like the car

I don't need their company

Your bed's very nice...

compared to ours

Can I lie down with you?

Oh, am I tired

Relax, I won't eat you

Ever kissed a girl?

Evidently

On the mouth?

Often

And you said a lot of

pretty things?

You want to tell me?

Right now?

But you did't say anything

You must have learned a poem

in school

It was snowing... We were

defeated by his conquest

"But not once before had the

Eagle bowed its head

"Oh, sombor day"

I think we should get more

comfortable

"The Emperor returned

on his mount

"In the distance, at his back

"Burning Moscow...

"In the distance...

it was burning

"Moscow burned"

But what possible interest

would he have in Poland?

Why not Belgium?

With him, you never know

What does he want?

He wants Poune and Julien

Professor, do you think dogs

have souls like humans?

Its entirely possible,

Mademoiselle

We can't stand that noise

Rex

Do you insist on more

punishment?

Did he really damage your car?

But there's the sheep too

Oh, who cares! Ill get him

Don't you know any other poems?

Don't you know any other poem

in Latin?

Oh sh*t, I'm on vacation

If Antoine ever saw this,

what would he do?

Don't worry, I'm joking

What are you doing to him?

Edward, come here, quickly

You really not hungry?

Want a cigarette?

I guess she's pretty mad

Shell calm down. Mathilde

is being sent away

But I gave her the address

of a friend in Paris

Don't blame me

That's between you and you

When you start to smoke,

don't blame others

Anyway, for next time

try not to get caught

Tell me exactly when you

got up today

- 6 o'clock.

- In a pig's ear

Here's the new girl

She's so young

Put down your case, you'll

see to it later

Show her where her room is

The rule here is up at

meat 3 times a week. One Sunday

in 4, you go and see your mother

Don't have one

And at Christmas; a gift

from the boss

With little Jesus to bless

all that

You, silence

Here, sit down! Right here.

Hungry?

A little

Give her that

- Tell me, what's your name?

- Agnes

- What?

- Agnes

We'll have to change your name

because Agnes here is the boss

That's a pain in the neck

We'll call her

by another name then

Madeleine, that's pretty

Quite pretty... Madeleine

Its nice, Madeleine

We agree, then, she's Madeleine,

right? This'll make it legal

Right. I name you Madeleine

You'll put away a nice

nest egg here

Dont listen... and dont

let her bother you

That's my fianc

And the boss?

Don't worry about him.

He won't bother you

Its Madame who's the real boss.

She's got all the bucks

They're rich?

Oh no. All she has is the

mansion; propertys gone

they've spent everything

Quiet, woman, is it any

of her business?

Its only natural she wants

to know

They've all got 2 left hands

Tell her what she's to do

Shall we finish that letter?

You said:
"My dear mama...

I am well

The food here is good and tasty.

I sleep well every night

I hope my letter finds you well

and in good health

Signed:
Mathieu

What about sending her

a big kiss?

lf you want

It's a real mansion.

I know the Mistress

Seen my car?

What do you want?

I have to talk to you.

The new girls just arrived

I have to talk to you.

The new girl's just arrived

and Charles has already

pounced on her

There's already a meeting

arranged

What're you babbling about?

I told you it's all arranged

- You sure?

- I heard everything

Come with me

A note to Julia? Oh, you want

her to meet you

...when the rooster crows.

Why did you sign Charles?

Put it in Julia's room, and

don't let anybody see you

More sentimentality

Charles, are you here?

Monsieur Charles...

Are you here?

Madeleine... are you here?

Are you here?

I'm here, Monsieur

You came...

Why are you trembling?

You aren't going to do

anything silly?

Don't be afraid... over there

Please don't

Yes, Madeleine, yes...

I beg you.

No, Monsieur Charles...

You bastard!

She didn't show up at mealtime

- Did you really look for her?

- Of course

Have you searched the barn?

No, Ill go there

- Sacrophage isn't in the stable.

- Is that it?

Did you see Julia?

No, I have a headache.

Anyone got an aspirine?

Justine, it's me, open

Go to bed. I'm scared

of the storm

Then you shouldn't be alone

Go to bed, I told you

I swear I don't know

what's wrong with her...

Angele

What? Who is it?

Its me. Listen, do storms

scare you?

No. Go away, I'm sleeping

Madeleine...

Stone deaf

It hurts. How old are you?

And nothing ever hurt

quite this bad

Not this bad, no

Well, you were lucky then.

Pain begins early for some

And once it starts,

it won't stop

And there's nothing you can do?

You can always dream

Since it's your birthday

tomorrow, they're yours

Are they real?

Real, fake... what's the

difference?

Today I took a decisive action

I helped my cousin Julia rid

herself of that imbecile Charles

For a while it will be painful

If only I didn't love

the idiot so much...

Nature's got it all wrong.

I have the feelings

but not the age, and he has

the age but no feelings

Happy birthday

Happy birthday, Mademoiselle

Julia, you're aging fast

No faster than you.

You'll be sick

This is nothing

What do you want, baby?

I want an orange juice

A what?

Iced

Iced? In your condition?

A iced orange juice

No, that's lemonade I said

orange juice

An idiot

She was in a bad mood

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…
