The Taste of Others Page #4

We have sex every ten years.

You have some free time, then.

These cell phones are awful.

I have to pick her up | at 7:00 a. m.

Well... I have to get up at 6:00.

I'll call you.

- Sleep well. | - Bye.

I'm upset, because she asked me | to take care of the decorating.

It wasn't my idea.

I did it because | she's your sister...

and because the poor girl...

Anyway...

I find magnificent stuff, | and she never agrees.

I told her to do it | or to let me do it.

It's my profession, after all.

She doesn't know what she wants.

She has to live there.

But considering that she asks | for professional help...

which is good, | because she has no taste...

why doesn't she listen | to my advice?

I try to make her appreciate | beautiful things, and...

she's totally closed-minded, | she turns against me.

- You should talk to her. | - I won't.

I won't interfere.

Can I have a beer?

Your son called. He didn't | receive the money order.

Why do you say "your son"? | He's not yours?

- It's a figure of speech. | - I sent it eight days ago.

- He's in England, not in China. | - It must be the strike.

- The strike? | - They said there's a strike.

The strike ended a week ago.

Tell me when something happens.

I want a divorce. | I didn't want this.

I don't even know | how it started.

Who is she? Do I know her?

It's Liz.

Here you go.

He told her he wants a divorce.

Oh!

That's it? He told her?

He told her | he's sleeping with Liz?

- How did she take it? | - She's heartbroken.

She asked if it was because | they can't have children.

So she went to see Palomino?

It makes sense. | You don't want her to beg.

Wait.

- Why did you change it? | - It's over. They're kissing.

Precisely! Put it back!

What are you doing?

You're eating chocolate | behind my back?

I don't want to tempt you.

Eat your chocolate normally! | What are you talking about?

I do it for you.

Put the extra-large one here.

You think so?

- I'm not sure. | - The ones at your place?

It's difficult to imagine. | These things are so ugly.

They sell like hot cakes.

- Amazing! | - No, it makes sense.

It's decorative | and not disturbing.

People want | to continue to sleep.

- This young man, here. | - Hello.

- So you're taking over. | - You're the artist?

Yes, that's me.

It was a success. Happy?

Very happy. I was lucky, | it went well.

But it's a good gallery, | lots of passersby.

- So you're a painter? | - Yes, so am I.

There's a trick | for the lighting.

- I can show you. | - No, it will be fine.

Shall we go? Good-bye.

I have my appointment | with "Moustache".

This guy is so thick.

You know what he did?

He wanted to tip me. He added | 100 francs and said, "It's OK".

I wanted to kill him.

Good- bye.

Example...yesterday...

the sun was in the sky.

Today, the weather | is not nice.

- It rain. | - It is raining.

It is raining.

Like pissing cows.

Are you acting again soon?

No, not for the moment.

What's the most difficult part? | The memorization?

No. Definitely not.

The hardest is to depend | on the other's desire.

I don't understand.

To depend on another's desire.

I would have seen it | a third time.

I can bring you the text.

Nice. I could read | all your parts...

In English, please.

Ah, yes...

it's, uh...

it's nice.

That's it.

- You want some? | - Thank you.

Ahh.

Hello?

Hi, Tomas.

I'm working Friday night.

If you want. | But 3:00 a. m. isn't convenient.

No, it's not convenient.

What about tomorrow?

Yeah, noon is perfect.

OK, bye.

What were we saying?

Nothing. | We weren't saying anything.

Hello?

What a surprise. How are you?

Of course, I can see you.

I have a green skirt | and a brown one.

Yeah.

I'll be here all day.

OK. No problem.

You want some?

I don't need that.

I don't either.

I want it, it's different.

Let's say I don't want it.

If you want to marry me, | you'd better be nice.

I'm not nice?

Borderline.

You're very popular.

Ohh.

Thank you.

I prefer praline.

Have you seen her apartment?

It's perfect.

- You can thank your brother. | - I did.

Is everything all right | with Anglique?

Yes. But I could have | done it alone.

It's better this way.

It helps you, | and she can practice a little.

She's a decorator, | and she never works.

Anglique does | very beautiful decorations.

Their home is perfect.

Hazelnut.

Why does he say | that it's like praline?

You must be happy, it came.

Hell if I was!

- You see, you were saying... | - I was wrong, I agree.

What time is it now?

We have plenty of time, | 45 minutes.

I don't like to hurry.

The station | is 400 yards away.

Clara. Miss Devaux!

Hi.

Let me introduce my father, | Mr. Castella...

and my sister, Beatrice.

She's teaching me English, | but she's a great actress.

- Actress? What's your name? | - You wouldn't know me.

- I'm in theater. | - I never go to the theater.

- What about television? | - No.

- Do you work with celebrities? | - You're bothering her.

No, but I'm in a hurry.

- See you Thursday? | - See you Thursday.

I didn't bother her, did I?

She doesn't seem like | an actress. Is she really?

Do you know a play | called "Brnice"?

- Yes, of course. | - I didn't.

So, how is she doing?

Fine, fine.

I'll finish it at home.

- Sorry. I'm bothering you. | - I prefer to read it at home.

Franck told me. | "You can kiss her good-bye", he said.

He knew something was wrong.

But I'm always so naive...

- I didn't even tell him. | - Excuse me.

Anyway, she doesn't say | it's over.

She doesn't. | But it's as if she did.

When you have sex with | someone else, it means...

What does it mean?

No, it's not the same.

It's not the same for a man.

A man can have sex | with whomever.

It doesn't mean anything.

I wasn't talking about you.

No, no, but I think | you're wrong.

For plenty of women, it doesn't | mean anything either.

Really?

- You just say that to be kind. | - No.

On the other hand, she could | have kept that to herself.

I don't see the point.

She does what she wants, but...

- How are you? | - Fine.

- And you? | - Fine.

Castella took so long tonight.

I thought he would keep me | until 2:00 a.m.

I'd like a beer. How about you?

- I should go. | - Have a drink with your pal.

I have to rest. | I'm picking her up at 8:00.

- Just one last one and... | - That's better.

- Are you OK? | - Yes.

- Fine. | - Good.

We had dates. | She wouldn't show up.

Then she was crying, | feeding me all kind of bullshit.

One day it was one thing, | the next day it was another.

I really tried hard.

I hung around for three years...

I tried to understand, | I forgave everything.

And each time | it was something new.

And I fell for it. | I was in love.

I got swindled for three years.

But... what's the connection | with Bruno?

He's kidding himself.

He's trusting.

Anyway, he's too trusting, | not only with women.

He trusts everybody. | He's too kind.

One day he's going to be really | disappointed, really hurt.

She wrote. | So much the better.
