And Now... Ladies and Gentlemen...

She says she can't cure you,

only make you feel better.

She says you must go see Lalla Chafia.

Maybe she can cure you.

She says she's expecting you.

Who is expecting me?

The saint who heals, up on the hill.

You must go there.

You climb the hill in the noon sun, without stopping.

What's at the top of that hill?

Lalla Chafia is there.

She died 159 years ago.

She can heal you from her grave.

She says your main problem is time.

You wish to reap before you sow.

That is why you are sad.

You have always been a sad lady.

She says living too fast makes one die too young.

At what age did I die then? At what time?

Where everything started, or where it all ended?

Shit, this isn't happening.

What's wrong now?

I didn't get that. What'd she say?

It's warmer than in Monte Carlo.

No. After that...

That we mustn't call the police before I get back.

Just a minute...

I love France.

Me too.

You won the pretty car behind yours.

Oh, no! You're totally nuts.

I should've guessed. You love surprises.

Why are you selling it?

To build a faster one.

Why do you want a racing boat?

To try and best your record... Just joking.

Do you know about solitude?

It cures almost everything.

Yes.

Especially loneliness!

She's not a looker, but she's a safe boat.

Just like women:

The more beautiful, the more dangerous.

I've the feeling this boat had a difficult race.

- Which race are you entering? - My own.

We'll go to the buoy below the cliffs.

Just beside the jewelry store.

Is that your last price?

It's just what I need to finish my new boat.

What did you say back there?

What did I say, my love?

You talked of a jewelry store.

Don't you remember?

You said there was a store at sea.

Please, miss.

Evening, miss.

Why are you going round in circles?

Willy, the test-balloon.

Can you breathe into this, please?

What orchestra is this?

What orchestra?

What's the matter?

The matter is

you've been circling the roundabout non-stop.

So we're entitled to wonder what's up.

What time is it?

9 pm, but my watch is fast.

Shit, I had an appointment at 8.

Breathe into this, please.

Does this happen often to you?

It's the first I've heard of it.

Negative.

Can I go now?

Do you need help getting back?

No, thanks.

- How long was I circling? - 5 minutes.

Yes, I'd say a good 5 minutes.

On this Earth

My only joy My only happiness

Is my man

I gave all I have

My love and my heart

To my man

Even when I dream at night It is of him

Of my man

It's not that he's handsome Nor rich, nor well-built

But I love him, it's crazy

I circled the Invalides some 29 times.

What were you doing there?

They say I had a blackout.

Come again?

They say I had a blackout.

I wish I could've forgotten you.

Ready to order?

Nothing. I'm not hungry, thanks.

And you?

I'm still hesitating.

- As always. - I'll come back.

Stop hesitating. Will it be her or me?

The white or the black one?

I don't think you'll like my choice.

So predictable, you men are.

With you, I wonder if I met no one, or everyone.

Jane!

When will you slow down a bit?

I had a date with the man of my life,

and I am talking to a stranger.

You're no trumpet player, you're the Pied-Piper.

You're angry at me?

For taking 2 months to choose between my best friend and me?

Yes, I'm angry.

And our life still fascinates you?

We ask too much of love...

my love!

Have you been faithful to me during all this time?

Often.

He didn't train very well.

He has family problems, but now is no time to think of them.

He should forget his wife...

his kids...

- He's getting a beating. - Go, Daddy.

Go, Daddy.

I found the skipper quite attractive.

I know...

Thierry.

Yes, he won. It's wild! I swear, totally wild.

They'll be re-running it.

Seems I sold to the Englishman.

He didn't try to barter.

It should work out...

It's stupid to end like this.

We made a nice trio.

In a trio, there's always one too many.

I offered him a light life, he chose a dark life.

I'm sorry.

So... what now?

What now my love

Now that it's over

He always dreamed of such a boat.

What did he do other than dream?

Unique things.

When you won your round the world race, he told me:

He's had boats before?

This is his first racing boat, but he's always lived on boats.

I can tell. He's good.

In a race, he might not come in last.

Is your wife jealous of your boats?

I'm the jealous one.

A round the world race means 199 days away from home.

So there's temptation.

You'll see.

All these boats training, are they in the race?

Some of them.

When will he be ready to go?

When he feels ready.

To circle the world, the mind is as important as the boat.

Why'd you close your eyes?

I'm trying to picture life without him.

I'm cold.

You're not afraid of trouble.

Circled the world 3 times... thought I'd seen it all,

must've gone to the wrong places.

You're not going back to lounges?

It's easy to sing for people who don't listen.

- Like a nice waiting room. - What do you want?

I can't stand lies anymore.

Know what my last liar said?

"Lies

"are dreams caught red-handed."

Damn, it's gonna be hard forgetting that trumpet player.

A.B.C.D.E. F...

Departures don't keep you awake.

I wasn't sleeping.

I was dreaming.

I dreamt of paying back the people I stole from.

How do you pay a love story back?

By giving you a 199-day furlough...

or should I say 199 nights?

I've never wanted to be free.

When I met you at the jewelry shop,

I thought I'd get 29 years straight.

You gave me the world's finest jewels,

but no wedding ring.

Who said: "Never wed your mistress,

"for marriage is love's perfect murder."?

You have more like that?

A.B.C. D...

A.B.C.D.

Me too.

But you're still leaving.

Just for a short world tour.

There are less risky vacations...

What with your blackouts and migraines.

May I have a glass of wine?

What is left of our loves?

What is left of our sweet days?

A picture, an old picture

Of my youth

What is left of love letters?

Of April months, of rendez-vous?
