Tendres cousines Page #4

Yes, very happy

Can I try?

No, youll stain your dress,

they're fresh eggs

I bet I can

My turn

You must walk very carefully

Lift the dress up

Another pin, please

I look all right?

Put down your collar.

Oh, there's a button missing

The princess?

Yes, coming. Professor,

what are you doing here?

You mustn't look

Do I make the announcement now?

One minute, Im not ready

What a handsome young man

He's our Casanova. He has

a terrible reputation

Hurry, please, everyone's

impatient

I still haven't learned

my lines

You wait till the last moment

At last

Tonight, to honour our dear Julia

on her 16th birthday

we have the good luck

and the honour

of seeing Mademoiselle

Clementine Granval,

in scenes from Fantasio,

by Alfred de Musset

Are we the Queen of Spain?

They're splendid; where'd

you find them?

A gift; they were Clementine's

Then they've got to be fake

Why?

What's wrong?

Tummy ache

And what's this?

I broke an egg

How pale the setting sun is,

my Lord

All nature's pitiable tonight

Good tobacco, good beer

You must be bored, Spark

Why do you say that?

No, why do you say that?

I... I dont understand this

Ah, the solitude in the soul

of man

Drink to forget...

All such nonsense

Right you are

Quiet, that's enough

What a miserable thing is man

Unable to leap from a window

without breaking a leg

Don't want to see the play?

Oh, the theatre. Id rather stay

and watch you

Give me a glass of cider

How old are you?

You want one?

No thanks

Come closer. Do you like it

here?

I won't eat you

Julien was good, wasn't he?

Go ahead... don't just stand

there. On stage, quickly

There, that's your place.

Get closer

My God, it's Mathieu

Tomorrow or perhaps later,

you depart for Mantua

and with you your wedding gown

Why should I hold ill feelings

for you?

I have no reason to desire

your death

Maybe fate will reveal it

to you

Maybe fate has revealed you

I can elude it no longer

Him, I understand

Silence

Should I not put you out

the door?

Me?

No, that's the line, say it

Its the child of misery

Will you be quiet

Ill put you to bed

I cheated on you but you

don't know who

Yes, I do

- Bet you can't imagine.

- I know...

With her

That's not true

No, it's true. Tell her

We'll talk about it later.

Come on, Antoine

Aren't you going to slap my

face? Go ahead, slap me

Take that

Go to bed and sober up

You did it on purpose,

didn't you?

Is it your plan to make me

your confidant in tragedy?

- Madame...

- What's the matter?

The Mayor... the Mayor is here

Please don't send me away...

It's so amusing here

Look, your governess arrives,

pockets bulging with mysteries

Ill be damned!

Is it quite the moment?

Madame, I truly hope that

I couldn't care less, believe me

Look, the Mayor is here.

He's barged right into the party

Please kick him out

Ill need a pair of scissors;

Don't rip it. Calm down

Bravo

Im not the star, she is

- I'm honoured.

- Delightful

Mathieu

You were splendid.

I assure you, you were

Im glad, thanks, but Im

really not used to doing this

lf you wanted to,

you could go far

Go where?

Ill explain later. I'll see you

in the park

Julia, will you do me a favour?

Yes, what?

No, I won't. No, please.

It was a present

Theyre fakes

I don't care

You'd better do it

anyway

Here you are. The jewels

of the family

No, Madame, it's too much

Take good care of them.

A queen has worn them

Poune, youre the leader

Come, mama, come with us

Not at my age

You're young, mama, come on

I can't go on

Sure you can

Mama, you alright?

What's wrong?

Nothing. Im alright

Go on, join the parade

You, you detest all of them -

that right?

You would like to see them

all dead

Yes. Are you psychic?

No. Im not a mind-reader or

anything

At your age, you have emotions

you can't control

and pity always comes too late

I won't be like that,

I swear it

I'm already a monster

My soul, if you saw it, would

be as black as coal at night

Its entirely too soon.

Its transparent

Yes, crystal clear...

and light... like a bird

Im sorry, you haven't

seen Mathieu?

Do you know the legend

of Tristan and Isolde?

Its a love story from history

You like them... love stories?

I might, but Im not really sure

I will be Tristan tonight

The grease paint is running

Yeah, I guess I sweat plenty

I don't think Im made to be

an actor

Im certain that your mouth

is like ripe fruit

You sigh?

Its my brassiere,

Madame Tristan

What's going on?

Why are you going?

- It's war.

- What?

War's been declared

Have you heard?

Yes... what happened to

Clementine?

She fainted

You returning to Germany?

To make war on us

Im too old for this silliness

Im not old enough

Then, my young friend, we two

are very lucky

Lucky?

Of course, you'll see

Its sweet to die for one's

country of old age

It looks like this'll be

the last one

Its time to go. Well, goodbye

You'll have plenty of work now

Try to stay awake

Don't, you'll scare us all

Let's go, back to work

Don't catch cold

Don't try to be a hero

I promise to be a coward

Don't do that, Mademoiselle

It's all right, leave it

Personnel may now return to

the kitchen, thank you

Ill be crazy with worry

Dont pout, Im off to the

station. I'll be back

And be careful

of the Germans

There you are. Be good

to Mama and your sister

Sure, I know

Wait a second

You too. You going to see

Hitler?

I might, who knows?

Have a bonbon

You're the man here now

The train

Wait

Shell make them miss the war

Take this along, it always

brought me good luck

lf you get to Berlin, you have

the address

Charles, hurry up,

we're waiting on you

Don't lose it

Wait...

Mama, stop the car

Hey, you men... the first

casualty of the war

Alright, let's get going

Sure, here we go.

Cover up, Monsieur Julien,

you'll get sunburn

My shirt's sticking to me

Like this

Angele, get cracking

I can't go any faster

Poune!

What are you doing?

I was milking a cow.

she doesn't like it

Tough piss

Never mind, do your homework

- Haven't got any.

- What?

All my teachers've gone to war

Really? Well, we'll see

about that

Can I be of help?

Careful there.

Feed the chickens

There's some grain in there

Youll allow me?

By all means, Professor

Where's Mathieu?

In the woodshed, finishing

his night

It hurts

Ill show you the best way

to take care of it

Feel it? Its balm from my heart

Our Justine's a pretty girl, no?

Come on, nobody's working.

You're not at a golf party

Julien, come walk with me?

Not yet, we're not finished

Ha! Finished? It'll be a while

This war's getting off to

a great start

Look at that bundle

Mama said to see you.

I got a sunburn

Im not surprised

the way you were working

on the haywagon today

Go on, stretch out over there...

and take off your shirt

This is an old remedy,

it never fails

Its cold, I know.

Ill be gentle

Is that you?

Yes. Taken on our wedding day.

Goes back a long time

Is that Monsieur Lacroix?
