The Taste of Others Page #8

- I'm sorry, Mr. Castella. | - No, don't worry about it.

I could get mugged | all year round.

But thank you.

You haven't slept much | because of me.

- I'll give you a bonus. | - It was my job.

Besides, it's not | the first time...

- Hi. | - Hi.

- Could I talk to you? | - Yes.

- Pardon me. | - Sure.

- Want to sit down? | - No, thank you.

I don't have an appointment.

It won't take long. | But something is bothering me.

I feel like it's...

my fault.

I know that you intend | to purchase...

an expensive painting, | a fresco for your entrance.

It's none of my business...

but since I introduced you | to these people, I...

I'm uneasy. | I feel responsible.

To be plain, I feel like | you're... let's say...

you're being taken advantage of.

I talked to Antoine.

Even if he says the opposite, | I really think...

he's taking advantage... | of your feelings for me.

I'm not sure I understand.

Why do you say that | he's taking advantage of me?

I like these paintings, | and I buy them, that's all.

What's the problem?

All right, then.

Is that why you came here?

Yes.

And why did you think | I was buying them?

You thought it was | to please you? Is that it?

To make a good impression?

I don't know. Maybe.

You didn't imagine for a minute | that I could... like them?

Is that what you think of me?

Don't worry. I like them.

Believe it or not, | it's not to win you over.

Your liking me is not even | conceivable, I understood that.

It's the kind of thing | that even I can understand.

- See you Monday. | - Remember, 10:00 a. m. sharp.

- Don't worry. I'll be there. | - Oh, here.

I wanted to give you | my letter of resignation.

Really?

- You want to leave? | - Yes.

I'm not a good match for you.

I thought about it thoroughly | and didn't find a solution.

I don't think the situation will | change, in spite of my efforts.

You decided from the start that | I don't belong to your world.

You say I talk like | a government official.

It's true, it's my background.

That's how I was educated.

I tried to change. | I did all I could to please you.

But let's face it... I failed.

So... I think it would be better | for me to leave.

Well... see you Monday.

Weber.

That doesn't suit me very well.

- Would you think about it? | - I did.

- That's why I talked to you. | - It's too bad, because...

I was mistaken.

I thought you despised me.

I'm sorry if I hurt you.

I didn't mean to.

You don't want to | think about it...

before making your decision?

He's staying at a hotel?

No, at the plant.

Flucky is happy.

He doesn't understand | nastiness or hypocrisy.

He's content running everywhere.

He's happy.

He doesn't bother a soul | or know how ugly the world is.

The world is what it is. | We deal with it.

I don't want to.

It's too disgusting, too awful. | I'm not interested.

You should move to Disneyland.

The former Minister...

Nicolas Sauvageon, | is in police custody.

With us is Inspector Turtle, | who made the arrest.

Turn that off.

- Wait just a second. | - Please, Bruno, turn that off.

He was a member of | the government from 1995...

- Thank you, Mr. Castella. | - Good-bye, thank you.

So...

- Not going to say good-bye? | - Are you kidding?

- Good-byes are stupid. | - Yeah, they're a pain.

I wanted to ask you, | what was the name of the guy...

you could never...

Wasn't his name Sauvageon?

You haven't read the paper?

Look.

It's your buddy Turtle | who arrested him.

A good guy. | He was right to stay.

Yeah.

OK. So long, Bruno. | Take care of yourself.

- Yeah, you too, Franck. | - OK.

Bye.

Hi, Camille. How are you?

Who's here, Camille?

It's Anglique.

Come in.

- He left me. | - Yes, I know.

- You know? | - He came by the other night.

Really?

You're seeing each other again?

- You changed everything. | - No.

- Just a little bit. | - It's nice like this.

How is it? | Not too tight?

Provided I don't breathe.

- And now? | - Now it's fine.

Antoine...he's picking me up. | Want to have dinner with us?

No. I'm seeing Fred tonight.

It's strange, you know, | I would have never guessed it.

We had nothing in common.

It's incredible how | we can misjudge people.

I could have missed him.

- Are you sure it's OK? | - Yes, it fits.

I knew it was going | to finish late.

We came home | at 5:00 a. m., smashed.

I slept 2 hours maximum.

I have a headache.

Do you know | if Castella is coming?

- Castella? Where to? | - To the opening.

- How would I know? | - You could have talked.

No, I didn't say a thing.

We're not going to have him | on our backs all the time.

Why? You were afraid | that I invited him?

I invited him.

So, you saw her? | Yes, she's coming.

You must stay, Mr. Laforgues, | or she'll have to leave alone.

True. Thank you very much, | Madame. I will therefore stay.

Very well. | I will talk to the maid.

Elliot, this matter, this | question about the future...

will it be the subject | of your lecture?

Yes, that is what | I heard at the bookstore.

You would give a series | of lectures.

Yes. | Don't hold it against me.

Of course, I understand | that it upsets you.

It's not good for her | to see us doing this.

Madame Estelle, | you'll Iive at Aunt Julie's.

I'll come every night. | We'll work there.

She shot herself in the head.

Can you imagine?

Lord have mercy. | This isn't a proper thing to do.

Bravo!

Here we go.

We cut on the third at the end.

The third time.
