It's in me, in you... It makes terrible waves...

I don 't know much, but I know the innocent don 't control this world...

We 'll go on, if possible.

I'm not scared, but it's because I never could...

...never knew how to...

...get involved.

I have to run. See you later.

I'm the girl, who shouldn 't be called Carmen.

With your body.

When shit's worth money, the poor won't have assholes.

Well, Mr. Hugues?

When shit's worth money, the poor won't have assholes.

Yes. We'll write to you!

- Is there a Frenchman in the house? - Mr. jean-Pierre!

- Is there a Frenchman in the house? - Come, we'll write to you.

It's not normal.

Who is it?

Ok, let eternity enter.

My friend, how are you today?

He couldn't be better!

I'll get sick...

If you have no fever by Friday, you're leaving.

My bill's been paid!

This isn't a hotel.

You'll have to leave!

I'm sure I'll get sick.

You'll leave!

- Do I write that? - Yes.

Lights out, Mr. jeannot.

"Badly seen, badly said."

You worked hard today!

That's very good.

- Think so? - Yes.

Come on...

Don't forget your temperature!.

You might get a fever yet.

If I put my finger in your ass, and you count to 33... See?

Do, re, mi, fa, sol... See? I'll have a fever.

Why did you say that?

People don't do what they feel like these days.

I feel like saying it, so I do.

Will I get a fever?

Maybe.

To be...

To be...

- In other words, in order to abolish... - Mr. jean!

-...ignorance and crime... - Mr. Godard's room?

must I rage like a storm and sow evil at random?

- A lousy idea! - A good idea!

It's time your madness saw

the opposite of all things!

We'll write to you.

Where am l?

Who is this?

Don't you remember me? Carmen.

- You're Elizabeth's daughter? - Yes.

Won't you ask why I'm here?

Sure. It could provide dialogue.

Have you some light?

I need your help, Uncle jean.

It was long ago...

...the last vacation.

- Long ago. - Yes.

Young people are crazy!

They have great memories, but they forget anything!

They're in a black hole.

Do you really live here now?

No. Not really.

It's not easy. I have to get sick every week.

So, you need my help...

That's new!

But this time I mean it. I do.

"Her great beauty had already struck me...

Her gentleness, her honesty..."

No matter where or when, the classics always work.

Do you still own the apartment in Trouville?

Of course.

It's paid up until... the year 2000.

May I use it?

Sure. What for?

It's quite empty, you know.

Some friends and l are making a movie.

Then it's yes?

It's yes, Uncle jean?

I met a rich guy. He wants to see some tests.

So I thought...

...we could shoot them there.

The story takes place by the sea.

Is it yes?

Does the story end happily?

We don't know yet.

Yes, you do.

No! Don't bug me.

You never got along with her.

With whom?

With your mother, like that Electra kid...

You don't remember.

You have a talent for doom.

How did it end, when...

...the guilty ones in one corner, the innocent in another?

I don't know. So, is it yes?

I'll lend you my new camera.

It makes music, I built it here...

...with the kitchen staff.

Don't you want to go back to making movies, Uncle jean?

We should close our eyes, not open them.

You could help us with your video equipment.

There's tons of money to be made.

Shall I ask my friend?

Let's wait and see.

But can I borrow the apartment?

Who'll give me the keys?

The gardener or his wife. She does the cleaning.

You said it was empty.

So?

I'll keep you posted.

He's agreed.

It's not a good idea.

We wanted perfect timing.

- It is. - No, we're improvising!

Clara makes too many mistakes.

I'm aware of it.

I realize it, fully.

Life isn't the greatest good.

Of all evils, mistakes are the worst.

- Hi, Claire. - Where is my brother?

He went to buy cigarettes.

Is it really for me?

Why?

It's cold, isn't it?

How is it going?

Tell him about Saturday...

You tell him!

My sister's invited you for dinner on Saturday.

I can't. I have a training session.

He should change jobs!

You should. I told my father will get you another job.

Yes.

I'll take Claire home, then I'll drop you off.

Coffee break! If anything's not normal, call me.

What's not normal?

Everything!

Be ore mysterious...

The chord shorter?

No, it develops and there it becomes more tragic...

The second violin and the alto must be louder...

We'll take it from D...

Move on, goddammit!

- Can I have your autograph? - Move on!

- Aren't you jean Gabin? - Move on!

- You look just like him. - Go away!

Video, who wants cassettes?

- Will you keep moving! - All films in all colors!

PAL, SECAM... all videos.

Keep moving! Shit!

- Go away! - Help!

Alain!

Freeze! Everyone out! Down there!

- Hurry! See you in the hall. - Ok.

- It must be more violent. - Very well.

Very good...

Once more. The tempo was a bit slack.

Don't fade so soon...

The phrase on which you fade is very long...

Right.

"Act, don't ask. "

Yes, it fades on...

"Act!"

"perform miracles, before you reveal them. "

"It's the only way to fulfill your destiny."

Oh, Claire.

Carmen!

Let's get out of here.

Let's leave.

I'll tie you up, it'll look more real.

- The keys! - Where are the keys?

They're in the ignition.

Same place?

- Nothing's changed. - Go away!

- Untie me. - If I want to.

Will you, when I love you?

I'll be tied up, then.

- Untie me, I have to piss! - Good, so do l.

Then let's go.

- No... - Yes! - No!

Go on!

The first phrase built on the harmony...

You have quite a chest...

Maybe.

Sorry...

Were you able to phone?

- Out of my way! - Sorry.

No... I'm sorry.

What's the matter?

I'll explain.

I can't ask for more.

Soldier boy...

I'll look for something to eat.
