The Visitors: Bastille Day Page #8

---

- What is it they say?

- We'd better go.

Get a move on, out. Marat has a lot of work

we cannot bother him.

What the ... what do they say?

Are they talking about me?

- Why did you say he was sick?

- Because he is.

Such sincerity will cause you

nothing but problems.

Simone!

Charlotte brought two loonies!

And the water is freezing!

- What's your name, prisoner?

- Godefroy the Hardy.

Hardy? Like a hardy man?

- That's good.

- Do you know the residence of God's mother?

- God's mother? Who is that?

- An old woman who sees into the future.

- Who told you about her?

- Where is her residence?

I know nothing about it and do not want to know.

Collot knows her and he slanders Maximilien,

that he visited her. That woman says,

that Robespierre is our new Mesiah.

As if the Incorruptible

indulged in the black magic.

- Who is this Collet?

- It is Collot.

An ambicious man spreading gossip.

Maximilien does not watch him.

Even invited him for dinner.

- Good food, sir.

- We'll speak with that Collot.

Milk! Fresh, warm!

Directly from cow's udder!

Come on, it is quite warm!

From tits! Milk from tits!

Come on, take it!

Take it myself,citizen Kurt!

Here, everyone is equal!

- I will slap you equally!

- You will not!

Stop the arguing. Hardy citizen, you are stronger,

you will carry it.

Be so good! Well, with a smile.

Citizen Kurt, with a smile!

With a smile, citizen Kurt.

Right.

Madam, it would be good to know

whether the duke has money.

Robert, he has 500 000 pounds annually.

- God, it's him! Open, Victoria!

- I do not want to participate in this.

- What?

- You've hardly widowed!

- Pardon, I am shocked.

- All these circumstances.

Duke.

Come on, Duke.

We've been waiting for you.

Countess, I am very happy

to see you again.

Can I sit down? My heart jumped to my throat.

How do you do in the middle of the riots?

We survive, sir. But I fear

it leaves some traces.

- Woes made your face untouched.

- His were touched. His is like a catfish.

- Thank you, my friend, you are lying nicely.

- We observe from the embassy

the terror falling on France. Robespierre wants blood.

We have nothing, neither castle nor palace in town,

they took it all, we have nowhere to go.

They want to destroy and execute us.

Madam, do not talk about such misfortune!

Forgive me this moment of weakness,

but unfortunately, such is the situation.

- I am you humble servant.

- He is taking the bait, that catfish.

Order me! I will try and ease your sorrow.

Do you still have that residence of the Vechta?

I enlarged it a lot.

I have added twenty rooms.

I dream about seeing it!

This is exactly we need.

Could we visit before the revolutionary clouds dissipate?

Madam, it would be really tremendous.

- Madam, did you time to read my letters?

- Henri,

- I am mourning.

- I am a fool!

Agreed then? I'm happy.

You will welcome us soon.

I'm sorry, when you say we,

whom do you mean?

Us all. I will not leave without my step-children,

the reader and the cook.

Thank you, ma'am.

Thank you, sir, you're very kind.

- Remember our friend Lorenzo.

- Of course.

Lorenzo Baldini, Marquis of Portofino.

Former son in law of the Duke of Cheneviette.

- Nice to meet you. I am honoured.

- The honour is mine, Marquis.

I would be honoured to welcome you.

Countess, wouldn't it be more sensible if

only the two of us went,

to get my mother and sister ready for welcoming you?

Bad idea, everyone now, or nobody.

Yes, I give in.

- But it will be a great surprise for them.

- Not really.

So just a little bit.

I would be here at six in the morning

with the diplomat's carriage.

A large carriage, Henri, we have

a lot of luggage. We are not going just for a week.

- My name is Hendrick, dear. Sorry.

- Really? What did I say?

- Henri.

- So? Henri is a translation of Hendrick

- in French. - No.

- It is simpler. Let's stop this.

So Henri it is.

Alright.

I am going.

Till tomorrow, Duke.

I miss you already.

So do I, ma'am.

Citizen prosecutor, we are pleased to see you.

Oh what terror, the Malfetes arrived.

- They live in Nr. ten.

- In addition to everything, they are racists.

Did they come to hide with the deputy?

There are stupid.

Suspicious people move around here

and such odd faces ...

They came with cembalo.

That's an aristocratic instrument, isn't it?

That will cost them dearly.

The most dangerous of this bunch

is a big Alsatian, Kurt.

He has some little rogue with him

who pushed me down the stairs.

- Are you injured? - My back.

- Write a report and give it to me.

Apparently the Incorruptible

comes tonight to his sister for dinner.

- To his sister is like to me, I pay the rent.

- Yeah, but the name Robespierre is

- is more famous than yours. Is it not?

- Certainly.

Wait, we'll give you something.

What?

We like the Incorruptible so much that

Philibert him made their special meal.

What is it?

- Sausage.

- It is completely black.

- Sausage is black and white.

- Of course.

- I prepare just as Mama Renee.

- Mom.

I did not spare the paprika,

even if it is expensive.

If we were greeted by the Incorruptible.

Friends would not believe us that we know each other.

I will ask him,

but I do not promise anything.

Lolotte? Lolotte!

- This is me.

- Yes!

I have good news.

Ignace is here with his companion.

- What are they doing here?

- It is your family.

They are refugees.

We provide them with shelter, excellent!

- Come.

- Lolotte.

To your health, my tiny, little bastardee!

To your health!

Did you see the way they look! Like mercenaries.

And the other one stole my clothes.

- Oh no, I gave it to him.

- But we are dining with your brother.

I do not see a problem. They suffered from under the yoke of tyranny,

it is something Maxmilien will appreciate.

I will tell their story in the evening.

The heroes of the Republic. And you with them!

I hope so.

Here, sausage.

From Prune and that bird of hers.

- Yeah. Come and kiss your uncle,

he's waiting for it. - So let him wait.

Come on!

Come on!

- Don't be shy and kiss!

- Do you think it's easy?

- His breath is suffocating.

- Enough!

Bastardee.

Finally.

- Satisfied?

- Yes.

I love family. Showing some

affection is a good thing.

- What's that on your face?

- What's there? - This is from the lice!

- It itches! - Don't touch it!

- That dirtbag spat on me! It burns!

- That's what I was afraid of, he got lice from prison.

- And I should be kissing him, huh ?!

Boiling water!

Vegetable soup, no!

- Inflamed skin. What is it, sir?

- The start of death. We have to find God's mother.

The guy cannot be my uncle.

We are not alike!

15 years of hard labour.

You'd look like horrible too.

The family never looked that horrible!

Robespierre's clique!

Come and clap!

Everyone is here!

Couthon, man of Great Terror.

Saint Just, archangel of the revolution.

Billaud Varenne.

A Fouche, Lyon's executioner.

- That's Supper, which is honour for the house!
