Fidelio, Alice's Odyssey (Fidelio, l’odyssée d’Alice)

ALICE'S JOURNEY

What?

I like your pussy.

I like it when you lick my pussy.

That's dirty?

No, but it's true.

I don't have such big breasts.

In my dreams you do.

I'm replacing someone.

Not even a month.

It's your first contract?

Yes, as a cadet.

Your French is good.

- Prefer French to English? - Yes, my mom teaches it.

New rituals here.

There's a cadaver on board.

I don't think we can take a Christian body in a Muslim port.

It's why they called you.

I'm sleeping in the dead guy's bed?

You take 1. I'll take 2.

Antoine, man the valve.

Alice?

Frederic.

Problems with the 24-volt.

I've checked the blueprints.

Tons of changes. A total mess.

Not scared of ghosts?

We call the ME1 "Demonia".

Because he died in the engine room?

We think he had a stroke near the ME1, then crawled here but...

we don't know exactly.

The men found him here.

Yes. I see him...

full of blood in his face. Very very scared.

- Men... - Captain.

The new second engineer got in?

Not out of her depth?

She's pulling her weight.

It's fine.

Sorry, it's... fine now.

Gaël.

You know each other?

From when I was a cadet.

Felix, it's Alice.

I have internet. We're passing by Gibraltar.

The address I gave you

goes via the captain, as usual.

So avoid dirty stuff.

Use "C" for cock and "P" for pussy.

It's crazy. I recognized the ship right away.

First ship I sailed on.

It's funny. It hasn't changed much.

Take care.

Still using the incinerator?

Burning the sludge?

What's this mess?

Here.

There was a change.

Can Vali help with the corpse?

The Filipinos will freak out.

Sure.

Vali, we'll make holes in the dead guy's body bag,

so it sinks to the bottom.

Weather won't be a problem?

No, it's heading north.

We'll skirt behind.

Does the Company know about this?

More or less.

We said he fell overboard.

Gaël really did a great job.

Le Gall's last wish was a burial at sea.

We'd never have gotten the permits.

I'm going to bed.

Sleep well.

Men...

Captain.

I ate too much.

Coming, Vali?

Not going in?

I can't. I don't want to.

No rats for you in a shallow grave.

Straight to the sharks.

A sailor's soul

won't rot under a field

but breathes with each wave.

Dear diary,

loyal ear to my itinerant soul,

companion in my wanderings,

witness to my solitude.

Patrick Le Gall.

July 3rd.

Cast off late.

I brought a girl aboard. Kalina.

Prices went up but she was okay with 3 times.

Scars under her breasts, no fake nails.

Playing Titanic?

Think you're Kate Winslet?

I prefer DiCaprio.

You don't find it strange we're both here?

And aboard the Eclipse.

Only the name changed.

Now it's over with.

I try to smoke after my wife left me.

I can't.

Men...

Good evening.

I miss you, even at the oddest times.

Hound a repair I did 10 years ago in a hurry.

A blood-red stain between Mo pipes.

I can't believe it held.

Life aboard is hard. We have a lot of work.

Now that we're on the ocean, everyone seems more relaxed.

I'm lounging around tonight.

Thinking of you.

I want it so bad.

My pad is piping hot, and my plaint pensive

as I cravingly chant your commendations.

So?

Temperature deviations, cylinders 4, 5 and 6 in the Demonia.

There was a slow-down.

Alice went below.

No low-fuel alarm?

Not that I can see.

It's over. You had me come for nothing.

Dirty Gertie.

My daughter's favorite cartoon.

Dirty Gertie, nice!

- Good job. - What did you do?

Changed filter and drained it.

My wife is pregnant. I send her everything I make.

I'm happy to be single again.

August 17th.

Supposed to land

but no news of the fit-out.

Need to fill up with emotional oil.

September 3rd.

Saw Eliane in Toulon.

Thought I'd fallen in love. Was wrong.

Her voice annoyed me. Didn't like her scent.

Couldn't make her cum. Was suddenly out of breath.

Just like the doctor said.

Lousy night.

September 10th.

Nadine's birthday.

My kid sister is 40.

Replaced cylinder head today.

Exhausting work, unbearable heat.

Good to get my hands in the machines again.

Nice change from electricity.

My heart stood the test.

Wind died down,

sea is smiling, blue and hypocritical,

hiding its foamy white teeth.

Ever seen illegal aliens?

They try to blend in with the dockers.

They usually wear anoraks and hats.

If you see someone dressed to ski, tell us.

What do we do with them?

We lock them in a prison cabin.

And ask their names.

Once I ended up with a Johnny Walker and a Jack Daniels.

We carried them all over Europe.

No port wanted them.

We let them out in Africa.

Know what?

You have to tie them up

or they beat each other up and blame us.

To get refugee status.

Well done, the way you like it.

Eat, you're skinny.

I remember you being bigger.

Disappointed?

Reality never disappoints me.

The captain of the vessel

was enchanted by a beautiful boy

The captain of the vessel

had him come to the forecastle

Because love draws us together

we're going to get married

The money that we've earned

will be used in our household

The money we've earned

will be used to get us married

What are you doing?

I hope I'll come back as an animal that doesn't like water.

Something in wide open spaces.

A tiger or a lion...

What about you?

Antoine, finish your inventory? I have to send my order.

I have a hangover too. Don't be unpleasant.

We'll forget last night.

But don't speak to me. Don't come near.

Give me orders via the captain.

Figure out how.

And if you badmouth me in your report...

What?

Who will they stand behind?

I told them.

You know it's gonna blow.

Don't you feel guilty enough?
