The Taste of Others Page #6

You're giving me a lecture?

You sound like my father.

Fathers sometimes | speak the truth.

Not mine.

Your boss is a good guy.

He doesn't seem mean.

He's dense.

They made fun of him all night. | He didn't even realize it.

But he isn't mean.

Why "poor guy"? He put himself | in this situation.

He comes, it's one stupid thing | after another, and in the end...

he picks up the tab.

- It's not my fault. | - OK, OK.

It's the truth.

- When will you have some hash? | - I can't reach my guy.

I'll try someone else.

I'll have to stop sometime. | I can't do this all my life.

What else would you like to do?

Have children.

Tend to my home, cook.

It's tempting.

Where is Schafter?

Schafter? She didn't come.

She has other fish to fry.

- And Orvitz? | - He won't come.

- You don't know that. | - Are you kidding?

He doesn't show for paintings.

- Where does he go, then? | - Conceptual Art.

- Congratulations. | - Thank you.

Paintings are outdated for them.

I saw Zaramba earlier.

Yes, he came because of Oraki.

Anyway, it's crowded.

I heard good things.

- Hi, Valerie. | - Hi.

Look, Isabelle and Ccile.

You OK? Need some help?

- I'm OK. You want something? | - How about a little white wine?

A little bit for me, also.

I'm glad that I invited him.

- Has he seen you? | - No, not yet.

He's seen me now.

Can I have some champagne?

What are you doing here?

It's your friend Antoine. | He, uh...

He told me to stop by. Hi.

Hi. How are you?

It's wine.

Thank you. | There is an incredible...

In French, in French.

It's so crowded! | Is he a well-known painter?

Ah, Mr. Castella. | How do you Iike it?

I haven't looked yet.

Who is he? Do you know him?

He's good-looking.

I don't like mustaches, anyway.

Good afternoon. | Congratulations.

I haven't looked yet, | but it's crowded.

I didn't know this city | had so many people.

Are you happy?

He's not happy?

He is, but a lot of journalists | didn't show up.

They said they were coming | and didn't?

What a bunch of fags.

Fags? What do you mean?

You know, fags.

You mean ass-f***ers | like my friends and I?

Antoine, you want something? | What about you, Benoit?

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

Yeah.

OK. See you tonight. Bye.

- You're getting married? | - No. It's an inside joke.

- Did Manie tell you? | - What?

About my...

my girlfriend?

Well, what is it?

You were right. | She's seeing someone.

- Sh*t. | - You were right.

- You knew it, unlike others... | - That's too bad.

Yep.

- She doesn't say it's over. | - Of course not.

When I told Manie...

she told me that a woman could | have sex with a guy without...

- Just like us. | - Really, Manie said that?

Manie says what she wants.

I think she's taking | advantage of you.

You're in a weird situation.

I know it all too well.

- Good-bye. | - Say hi to Louis.

I'm sorry for | what I said earlier.

Did I upset you?

- You didn't find it appalling? | - It's not important.

It's just a figure of speech. | I spoke without thinking.

Yes, that's the problem.

I bought a painting. | The one in the corner.

The little...

Why are you smiling?

- You didn't have to. | - That's not it.

I like it, | that's why I bought it.

I looked at them all, | and I liked that one.

Hi.

Sorry I'm late.

No problem. | Take it easy.

- Want some tea? | - Yes, please.

Thank you.

So, where were we?

You were supposed | to write a few lines?

I have it here.

Are you ready?

Yes, please.

I was alone.

I was alone in the rain...

and there was clouds | in my brain.

Oh, a poem... good.

Yes. Should I start over?

I was alone in the rain...

and there was clouds | in my brain.

Then she arrived with the sun...

and my life becomed fun.

Became.

... became fun.

Her voice is like a song.

Her eyes are so, so strong.

When I look at this woman...

my heart gets certain.

She teach me English...

but that is not | the only thing she teach.

- Well? | - Mmm.

You're progressing.

- I checked a dictionary. | - Good.

A few mistakes, but...

You understood?

- Whom I'm talking about. | - Yes, I think so.

Yes, I understood.

Should we correct it or go back | to the irregular verbs?

Dunno.

I'm sorry. | There's nothing I can say.

You write me a poem, | it's very sweet...

but, unfortunately... | I don't share your feelings...

so we should move on, | you understand?

- You understand? | - Yes.

Would you mind | if we stopped now?

Not at all.

I'd prefer it.

Are you going | to stay here long?

Dunno.

It's getting chilly.

What is it?

Did you notice anything?

What do you mean?

I shaved my mustache.

Oh, yes, it's true. | I hadn't noticed.

I didn't see that | you shaved your mustache.

Nobody does.

- How's it going? | - They're gone.

They waited until 5:30 and left.

"They" who?

- Oh, the Iranians. | - Yes, the Iranians!

I rescheduled for | the same time tomorrow.

- You treat people like dirt! | - OK, OK.

We've worked | on this contract for a month!

Contract aside, you're absent | even when you're here.

We can't work like this.

Everything bores you except | for your English classes.

Mr. Castella, everyone | must take responsibility.

I can't do it all.

I've had it up to here with you!

Don't use that tone with me.

You think you're a hotshot | with your diplomas.

That's enough! | I'll be on time tomorrow!

You have anything else to say?

No.

So... when do we get married?

Whenever you want.

When my contract is over, then.

OK.

- I'm kidding, you know. | - Me too.

After that, we go on vacation. | A little honeymoon.

Yes, of course. | A little honeymoon.

Then you move in here.

- No, no. You'll follow me. | - Where?

- It depends. Here and there. | - Really?

What do I do while you work?

Take care of the house, | the kids, the cooking?

Is it so degrading?

You do it then.

I'll work. | You take care of the house.

It's not degrading.

No one can order you around.

Why do you say that?

- Nobody steps on your toes. | - Should I let them?

No, you're right.

Don't let them.

But you seem | to think the opposite.

When will you be done?

In a week or 10 days. | When they sign.

I'm going to make some pasta.

Think about my proposal | for the plant.

Good- bye.

Thank you. Good-bye.

You're already home?

You shouldn't drink, honey. | Alcohol is sugar.

Who put that there?

- What's that thing? | - It's a painting.

I just bought it.

You bought that? But, why?

I like it. I find it nice.

It's awful. You won't | leave that here, I hope.

Anglique...

I like that painting.

I can't get used to your face. | You look so weird.

Why don't you sit down?

But what's going on? | What's the matter?

Aren't you well?

No.

- But, why? | - I don't know.

- You want a cookie? | - No.

I'm sorry. Did he hurt you?

- It's OK. | - He just nipped you, right?

It's funny that | you never got along.

I didn't know I had | to befriend a dog...

in order not to be bitten.

Do you like animals?

I like people better.

You don't think animals | have a heart?
