she knows too.

Stay a minute.

Why?

The light is beautiful.

Personalized weather reports.

I'm the one driving

to Turin tomorrow.

Ah, yes. The weather

will be fine to Chamonix.

From Chamonix to the tunnel,

it may snow.

And after the tunnel

just a minute

This way I know

the weather all over Europe.

Up to Turin, the weather will be fine.

Leave early to avoid snow.

Thanks.

This is a wonderful service.

Thank you. Good-bye.

Personalized weather reports.

It's me.

Did you get any sleep?

- A little.

I didn't tell you this

it may be easier on the phone

but it was really wonderful.

We've never made love

so intensely, for so long.

We each learned something.

Me from you, you from me.

When I woke up, you were

still sleeping. Like a child.

- I'm older than you!

- By a year.

- Two.

- Okay, two.

But as I watched you, I got scared.

Where is this leading?

You're not in great spirits.

Nervous about your exams?

No, about what I'm going to do.

Will it be enough for you?

How about going bowling?

I just got all my books out.

But maybe you're right.

You got a coin?

Toss it.

Tails is bowling.

Heads is criminal law.

Tails. Bowling.

I'll study for an hour

and then call you.

- Or I'll call you.

- Okay, I'll wait.

If I go out,

it's just for cigarettes. Bye.

You didn't listen?

Too bad. It was romantic.

I heard the beginning.

They're in love.

Yes.

He hasn't met the right woman yet.

How do you know?

I watch them sometimes

from my window.

You think I'm a bastard?

- Yes.

Come look.

That guy bought a telephone in Japan

that uses a different wavelength.

My radio can't pick it up.

Too bad.

I suspect he controls most

of the heroin trade in Geneva.

No one can touch him.

He never takes any risks.

You like him?

- Very much.

I'll call him.

You have his phone number?

You deserve to die.

What did I do?

Here's his phone number.

If you get the urge to assault him

verbally again, don't be shy.

I turned out the lights at 10:00,

but I couldn't sleep.

Next program.

Not very interesting.

I kept tossing and turning,

and it kept hurting.

It still does.

I haven't shopped for groceries.

- I'm sorry, Mother.

- I have no milk or bread.

I bought you some.

I put it in the freezer.

I ate it all.

Stop it.

You didn't eat seven loaves

in four days.

I'm sick of this.

You should go do her shopping.

You'd feel better.

Maybe she's the one

who'd feel better.

Why did you stop and pick up Rita?

Because I'd hit her.

She was bleeding.

Otherwise you'd have felt guilty.

You'd have had dreams

about a dog with its skull crushed.

Yes.

So who did you do it for?

There's no point doing

that old lady's shopping.

She has everything she needs.

She wants to see her daughter,

but her daughter won't come by.

She came by five times

when her mother faked a heart attack.

When she dies,

I'll have to notify the daughter,

because she won't believe

her mother now.

She doesn't believe her anymore.

You're wrong.

About what?

Everything.

You're wrong about everything.

People aren't bad.

It's not true.

Yes, it is.

They may be weak sometimes, but

That boy who found out

his father wasn't his father

was that your boyfriend

or your brother?

My brother.

How old is he?

Sixteen.

Has he been shooting up

a long time?

How did you know?

It wasn't hard to guess.

One can only feel pity for you.

Maybe you didn't know.

Your dog is going to have puppies.

- It's Valentine.

- Hello, darling.

Hi, Mom. Did Marc arrive?

Two days ago, with his lovely girlfriend.

Do you know her?

Yes. Marie.

We're all together.

They're watching TV.

I'm sorry I can't be there.

Yes, too bad. It's like old times.

Your brother's a good boy.

Can I talk to him?

Marc! Here he comes.

Call me, Mom. I love you.

- Hi, Valentine.

- Thanks for going there.

At your service.

We're leaving tomorrow. I can't take it.

Mom didn't see the paper?

I don't think so.

She'd never believe it anyway.

- You're right. You should go home.

- Bye.

Call me, Michel.

Please call.

Did you see the picture?

The picture?

Jacques?

Isn't it great? You didn't see it?

I forgot. I've had a hard day.

- Come join us. It'll relax you.

- Where?

Not bad.

Sorry to bother you,

but someone's played

a stupid prank and I can't get in.

Those Turkish kids.

Always causing trouble.

I don't know.

Someone stuck gum in the lock.

Tweezers.

- It's me.

- Michel...

I just called.

There was no answer.

Someone stuck gum in the lock.

I couldn't get in.

I heard the phone.

Gum?

I did an ad for chewing gum.

That must be why.

You shouldn't do that work.

They're taking advantage of you!

Forget it.

Didn't you turn the machine on?

I just want some peace.

A life of peace and quiet.

Then I'm not your guy.

You won't have peace with me.

Did you meet someone?

No, I'm waiting for you.

Why didn't you pick up before?

I told you. I couldn't get in.

I understand.

How are you?

I'm going to Hungary next week.

What are you going to do?

- I'm going to bed.

- Then go ahead.

Go on!

Are you there?

Michel, are you there?

It's starting again...

Are you asleep?

No, I'm not.

Well, get in bed!

Are you in bed?

I'm taking a shower.

I was getting undressed.

No one's helping you?

Valentine, are you there?

No. Good night.

I knew you could do it.

Congratulations.

Did they ask the question?

The one in the book

you dropped in the street.

Don't you like it?

Very much.

What will be

the first judgment I sign with it?

Civil hearing in the case of...

the residents of Pinchat

versus Joseph Kern.

Please come inside.

I'd like number 432.

Van den Budenmayer.

Did I pronounce it right?

- Yes.

This one?

I just sold the last one.

I'll have more this afternoon.

I'll set one aside if you like.

Whose newspaper is that?

Yours.

RETIRED JUDGE:

IN INVASION-OF-PRIVACY CASE

Hello. I've come

I saw the newspaper.

I want you to know I didn't tell a soul.

I know.

Not a soul.

Not the police or anyone.

I know.

I know who it was.

Who?

Me.

You asked me to.

Won't you come in?

There's something

I'd like to show you.

One, two, three, four,

five, six... seven?

Seven.

Would you like some pear brandy?

I've had it for ages

but never had the occasion.

To my health.

Why did you do it?

Why did I turn myself in?

Yes.

To see what you'd do

when you saw it in the paper.

Did you think I'd come by?

After our last conversation,

I thought so.

Why?

Do you expect something from me?

Yes.

Before leaving the other day,

you spoke of pity.

I realized later it was disgust.

Would you sit down for a moment?

Would you smile for me?

You cried when you left here

the other day.

Yes, I did.

And I turned off my radio.

I sat down at my desk.

The fountain pen I'd used

all my life was out of ink,

so I took a pencil

and wrote letters

to my neighbors and to the police.

I mailed them that same night

while you were sound asleep.

I wasn't asleep.

I'd gone bowling.
