Diva

A motorcycle?

No, a small motorcycle... a moped.

A moped.

Pilot?

No, postman.

Darling!

You were very moving, the princess insists on seeing you.

What a pleasure it is to see you!

What a show!

We hadn't seen her since San Francisco. It was beautiful.

She is sublime.

There's Nadia.

What the hell is she doing?

No wait, something's wrong!

See you!

Okay, bye!

Oh, excuse me!

You didn't see a thing, little shit.

Police.

Scram!

Don't move!

Watch out!

Quick, let's go!

Shit!

Miss, your carton please! Your carton.

What about my carton?

Come on...

Is it okay? Can I get dressed now?

I'm sorry.

WHO STOLE THE DIVA'S DRESS?

Is it the Opera?

No, it's my butt.

Don't worry, I don't work there.

Do you like jazz?

Obviously! Or I'd be stealing some mambo.

Too bad I only like disco music... the classics don't do it for me.

I'm not a classic, I'm a lyric. That's an overture.

Hurry up, because I'm about to close.

Don't worry. Do you mind if we talk?

Yes I do, why?

- Was that you in the pictures? - No, it was a crocodile!

What's your trick?

Here, look...

Not too dumb.

Of course, it's only a cottage industry.

And for the collections, you arrange an air lift?

- I have something else. - What is it?

Well, you!

So, you steal a lot?

- It's not for me, it's to give away. - To whom?

You're really not the curious type, are you?

It's to give to a guy, who's in his cool period.

Who is he?

A mongrel, a rasta...

Hey, don't walk so fast!

A guy who dreams of stopping the waves!

Deep inside, you're a lyric!

Anyhow, one of them invited me for dinner tonight.

She split this morning...

In the middle of the street, but we got her! We had no choice!

Anyway, she'll be quiet now.

Yes. It's under way, yes, no tracks.

I don't like cars.

Tell me Mortier, did you identify this girl?

Yes. Nadia Kalonsky...

...a former prostitute who disappeared a few months ago.

The funny thing is, we had something on her.

Do you have a file?

The investigation on the international drug trade and prostitution ring.

Ah, yes. Your famous Antillean network.

- Chief Inspector, I know you doubt... - I don't doubt anything, Mortier.

You've never produced a single valid witness!

They're always dead.

Paula, why were you at the railroad station...

...at the time of the murder? Were you taking the train?

It wasn't a coincidence. He called me, we had an appointment.

He wanted me to meet her.

- Who is this guy? - He's one of my informers.

He's a bum.

You'd better agree.

He's on parole...

...and the judge found him a job at a carnival lottery in Barbès.

It's really great for his social rehabilitation!

This Nadia Thinginsky...

...according to your statement...

...was supposedly killed because she was about to talk?

She hinted that she knew who the leader of the Antillean network was.

So, she knew the Antillais?

No, that's the point. The Antillais wouldn't be the real boss.

- She had some revelations to make. - What revelations?

She couldn't tell me much. She was hiding when she called.

Why? Was she being watched?

All I know is that she woke me up last night. She seemed hounded.

She asked me to pick her up at the station to protect her.

To protect her, you!

We used to be together, a long time ago.

So, why did you contact us, the police?

- What? - Why did you call the police?!

Because it's too big for me. Nadia is something from the past.

It's the past. I know nothing. I called you right away.

Why did you prevent me from intervening?

I didn't prevent anything! I wanted to see... I didn't know.

Well, we saw... but we don't know anything.

What was the gentleman accused of?

Indecent exposure on the street. To a minor.

Check it out... As usual.

You have nice witnesses.

Pathetic...

Not so! You're pathetic! I know your cop tricks.

You've heard the cassette, but you want me to talk as well.

I know nothing.

I got you the cassette, I'll say nothing else!

The cassette?

You found a cassette?

Krantz, you never told me about this.

I had nothing to tell you.

I told you I was going to make you meet Nadia.

There's Nadia.

No wait, something's wrong.

She told me she recorded everything...

...and that there was enough to sink the guy.

Don't move!

From the café where we sat, we couldn't see. We were too far.

The cassette is in the postman's satchel.

We must find it.

And three.

That's it?

They said they would increase my pension...

...because they're widening the street.

Those are stories, grandma.

Widening arteries have never caused an increase in pension.

Good-bye.

So, am I a coloratura or a lyric?

- Tell me, what am I? - Rather dramatic.

Dramatic?

You had said lyric!

No, dramatic is just as well.

It's even better.

The decor is rather gloomy.

You think so?

Here, we're into disaster... luxurious disaster.

And this one? What is it?

The lady has taste.

It's a Rolls Royce...

...Corniche!

It happened in Monaco, at the casino, against a palm tree.

Yes... We are not much indeed!

You wouldn't think a Rolls Royce could have an accident.

He had one like that when he picked me up hitch-hiking.

I didn't hesitate, I climbed right in.

Well, if my lady would like to follow me now.

Not bad, your loft!

- You like it? - Yes!

The previous owner was great.

- Do you want something to drink? - Sure.

Super!

It may not be cold, but it makes bubbles.

I can't drink from the can, do you have a straw?

A straw?

- You know, a bent straw? - Bent straw?

Bent, very chic!

It looks like Raquel!

Actually, I'm not surprised...

...the former landlord had a car crash, with these paintings!

Son of a gun! Not bad, Saint Jules.

Here, that's all I have. Bent.

That's what you call bent?

Well, yes, bent. That's the most bent thing I have.

- What's wrong? - It stinks of gasoline.

It's a radiator hose.

Then, of course, it's normal.

Is this your magra?

Nagra... N...

How does it work?

What are you doing? No, don't touch.

This is sacred!

No, you can't touch this.

You're really picky. I'm not going to eat your Nagra!

Well, this is Swiss and it's very precise.

Tanagra. You sure look Swiss.

It's her?

Is it her, Cynthia Hawkins?

She's so beautiful!

Do you think so?

Yes, very beautiful.

Are you in love, Jules?

Of course not. I'm not in love.

- Yes, you're in love. - No, I'm not.

Here, wait, you'll see.

Listen to her. Put this on.

Wait.

What are you doing with my watch?

But... my Skelton!

Don't cry, baby. I have a much better one for you.

Just great for a little toad like you.

It's a Rolex!

Yeah, my first steal.

Do you have any idea what this is worth?

Yes.

Thank you, Jules.
