High Tension (Haute Tension) (Haute tension)

I won't let anyone come between us anymore...

Are they recording?

Help!

Cigarette!

Light!

I don't believe the dream I just had.

I was in a forest, running barefoot.

I was hurt, and I was being followed by somebody, and, well...

the more I ran, the more I could sense him coming closer.

Who was the guy stalking you?

It wasn't a guy. It was me. That's the weirdest part.

It was me running after me.

Can't you have normal dreams like everyone else?

No.

Being like everyone else is an awful bore!

We should've stayed home and not gone out last night.

I'm exhausted.

Take a rest. I'll wake you when we get there.

- Yeah, very funny! - I'll drive, if you like.

I'll drive, if you like.

Come on. It was late, and I felt tired.

Felt tired, huh?

You were dead drunk!

Well, it was your fault for dumping me for three hours

and disappearing with God knows who!

I hope at least that he was worth it.

I'll say! Unbelievable!

- Bitch! - Bastard!

Maneater!

- Bad lay! - Anybody's!

Cheap hooker!

Are there any cool places to go in the country?

Well, there's a town hall, but that's about it.

If I had to live here all year round, I think I'd shoot myself.

It's another kind of rhythm.

It's different.

Besides, we didn't come here to go partying.

We're here to study. Remember?

- Hey, we're not deaf! - Chill out Marie, will you!

C'mon Hendrix, run!

C'mon, faster Hendrix, faster! Don't be so lazy.

C'mon... that's it.

- C'mon, faster! Hurry up, Hendrix! - Tom...

stop shouting for a minute.

You're giving me a head ache!

How long do we have to wait for Alex?

She'll be here after you've had your bath.

No, because Alex has never seen this cowboy suit.

Tom, go and have your bath,

and then you can put your cowboy suit back on again. Okay?

Come on, Hendrix...

Yeah, like that.

Go on, yeah. Keep going.

Yeah, faster. Don't stop!

Keep going!

Look at me! Look at me!

Marie, watch the road, will you!

You've still got some makeup on, y'know.

Are you sure it's this way?

Of course I'm sure. In fifty meters, you go right at the corn field.

There it is. Turn right, and then go straight for four kilometers.

You really have to know your way around.

Nobody takes this road except for tractors.

Four kilometers of this, and it's good-bye car.

No, we're both used to it.

You can't act that way when ever a guy tries to talk to you.

- I don't act that way with everyone. - Come off it, Marie.

It's always the same story, and you know it.

- Stop! - What's wrong?

I saw someone!

That's not funny, Alex!

No, I'm not kidding. I saw someone. I swear.

Stop screwing around like that, will you!

Alex, come back here, please!

Alex!

Damn it!

Alex!

Alex!

If this is a joke, I'll make you regret it!

Alex, where are you?

Alex,

where are you?

I'll get you for this, damn it!

If you think you're being funny, you've got another thing coming!

Alex! Stop, you bitch,

Alex!

Alex!

Come back bitch, right now!

Come back!

Come on! I'm sick of your little game!

Enough is enough!

God damn you!

What if I had left you out here?

Yeah, very funny!

You scared the hell out of me!

Go on, laugh your head off!

- Very funny! - Where's your sense of humor, Marie?

Here we are.

Okay, now I know why you passed your exams so easily.

If you spend all your weekends up here,

there's not much else to do except study!

You can't beat it for peace and quiet. Can hear the train go by, but that's it.

Easy Hendrix,

- How are you? - Hello dad.

Don't worry. He doesn't bite.

You talking about me or the dog?

Marie, this is my father. Pop, Marie.

Nice to meet you.

So, I finally see you in person and not just in a photo.

- Photo? - You know, the one I took in Spain.

Yes, it's on the fireplace.

You're already part of the furniture.

And this is Tom. Hi cowboy.

- Are you happy to see me, pardner? - That's all he's been talking about.

He insisted on staying up and waiting for you.

And your mother's been worrying all day, of course.

Mom always worries for nothing.

I think she left you something in the oven.

But I told her we'd manage and not to bother.

She didn't know if you'd have time to eat on the way.

Oh, that's mom!

I'll put Tom Thumb to bed and show Marie her room.

Right. I'll leave you then.

I have some work to finish.

- G'night. Sleep well. - See you tomorrow.

- Good night, sir. - Sweet dreams.

Did your dad build this place?

Not really. It was an old farm that he renovated.

There are lots of them in the region. Most of them are ruins.

It's a pity.

They've lived here for five years now.

Did they have problems with the neighbours?

With the local yokels?

Well, at first, they took my folks for a couple of hippies

who came to make goat cheese, but now it's fine.

Well, that's my room. There.

This way now.

My parents' room's on the right.

Tom's room is there.

I'll put him to bed first.

There. You're all tucked in.

Mommy?

Alexis, is that you?

That's my mother.

Go on. I'll be right up.

Hi mom.

Is your friend all settled in?

Show her where the blankets are.

If she needs towels, there are clean ones in the closet.

Don't worry. She has everything she needs.

Good night, darling.

'Night mom.

Your own private bathroom. Great, huh?

The heating is electric. Should I turn it on?

No, I can do it if I get cold.

Well, what do you think?

It's like a doll's house... very pretty.

The problem is he's got a girl friend

he doesn't seem to want to split up with.

Why are you so interested then?

Someone who's taken can't be all that bad.

I'm always suspicious of guys who are free.

Here.

- Want some more? - No thanks.

Well, I think it's too easy to be a womanizer

when you're already taken.

Well, you may be right. I don't know.

Maybe I'm just trying to convince myself.

Maybe he doesn't like me at all.

- What's his girlfriend like? - She's Brazilian.

They've been together for three months.

What's he doing with a Brazilian woman?

What, is he into exoticism or something.

Anyway, I've gotta get a suntan fast

and firm up my ass a little too!

You should see the way she's built!

If you do salsa, I'll go with you.

Don't get them excited or they'll keep us up all night chirping!

Hey, what about you?

When are you finally gonna try your luck?

Don't start with that.

You're gonna end up an old maid, Marie.

I'm not hot enough to trot like you.

No, you're scared, that's all.

Well, I'm gonna have a smoke outside.

How about you?

No, I'm going to bed. I'm wiped out.

Don't stay up too late.

I'll wake you at nine, ok?

What's the game plan?

We'll start with international law.

- Okay? - Okay.

- Good night Alex. - Good night.

Hey Alex...

I'm glad that I finally met your family.

C'mon Hendrix.

Come on, come on, come on Hendrix.

That's it, come on.

G'night Hendrix.
