TOUCHED IN THE HEAD

April the Third I'm dating that new girl at the shop.

She's 19. She's beautiful. Sort of.

We went to the movies then for drinks.

She only drinks Coke.

I walked her back to the workers place where she lives.

It looks promising but I think she may be looking for something else.

- Wanna play with us? - I don't know how to. - I'll teach you.

April 9th. For the first time, I slept with her.

She came to my place after work. She left just after.

I invited her to stay but she's not used to it.

- Are you foreign? - Yes, from Sweden.

Ah, Sweden.

- How long have you been in Paris? - Two weeks in Paris.

- Are you planning to stay? - Maybe.

- Your turn. - Go on.

- It's finished. - Too late.

April 16th. With Leo we flirted with a Swedish girl.

We drove her back to the place where she lives with some guys.

We had to meet Rosette later so we left early.

"Leo lied again about doing things. Such a clown!"

- What a strange car! - Right, it is a beautiful car.

I didn't say beautiful, I said strange!

You can tell me, if you don't like it.

It's a car built by Citroen.

A wonderful car that drives us from mountain to countryside then to the sea.

Far away from our problems. And in a climate of total freedom.

I don't understand "problems".

Problems it means trouble. Understand?

All the mess so to say.

- He learn it by heart. - Don't spoil my approach

- I don't understand. - I mean when he says.

"From the mountain to the sea, from the sea to the mountain" he's reciting.

But it was beautiful.

- What's your job? - I work in a garage. I am a mechanic.

I repair cars.

- But these days, I am out of work. - He doesn't like to work.

When he has no money he works, when he has some, he stops.

- What about you? - I am a baker.

- Baguettes? - Yes. You've tasted them? - Sure.

Even in Stockholm, you can buy french bread.

- I'll come and make you some. - Yeah, when?

- Tell me when we are in Courbevoie? - Tell me, when?

Tell me when we are in Courbevoie?

OK, at the station...

Uh, from the station I'll tell you where to go.

You know Liv, we're really happy you're with us - Me too

- I'm happy. Me too. - You too?

Everybody's happy.

- You, what have you done today? - Me, I.

I woke up at 11. But I felt weak so back to bed.

You didn't do anything?

Isn't that sad, not doing anything?

Well I have bad health.

Why do you have bad health?

I am too frail.

I gave you my address if you want to drop by.

Goodbye and thank you.

- You know what? - Before eating I went to the toilet.

I come in I ask for the loo.

I enter the bathroom, the red hair girl was washing stark naked.

So she says Hi, and I really looked stupid

I know I often look stupid

you're right!

So I start apologizing saying the door was opened.

She was laughing at my embarrassment.

She said the toilets are right here.

I wanted to take a dump

I only went for a pee as she would only see my back.

I didn't like peeing so it took ages.

Finally I succeeded.

It may look strange, but she didn't feel disturbed.

She washing in her corner, me peeing in mine.

Was she hot?

Very hot! I would have loved to wash with her.

Hello - Hello.

So?

- How are you doing? - A bit tired.

- What have you been doing? - We met a girl.

- Very nice, from Sweden. - We met in a bar.

We drove her back. The guys she lives with invited us to eat.

It was far away that's why we're late.

No big deal. But now we have to go back to our rooms.

- Do you want to come up for herb tea. - No whiskey?

- No just herb tea. - You're starting to be annoying!

OK, let's go for herb tea.

- But we only have 10 minutes. - Better than nothing, Let's go.

They really looked to be having a ball, those guys.

We can do this kind of thing. It depends who with.

Rooms for guests.

- Tourists they call them. - Take a sugar, doggie.

- And how can they afford this? - They are selling all sort of things

I was not very clear to me.

- So they had no jobs? - No, but they get around.

They must have less problems than us.

Yeah, they're a bit older.

There are only young people here, that could be nice.

But they're all playing a role.

- Like that guy Patrick. - With the red sweater.

He's a simple worker.

Every morning he leaves, suit, tie, and briefcase.

He pretend to be an engineer.

But looking at his hands, you see he doesn't work with his head.

- You're so mean. - But it's so true.

It's like my hands, you can see I hate to work.

If we had interesting jobs,

and less family problems, we wouldn't be here.

- It's sad what you're saying. - No politics when drinking tea!

We're 20 and we pop up Valiums.

Let's talk about something else.

I don't need Valium to fall asleep.

- Are you sleeping? - I'm not sleeping but your stories aren't very funny.

Why don't you tell the story about the toilet?

I felt like taking a dump.

I go in the bathroom, there was a naked girl showering

it was open? Yes because there's a toilet and the bathroom at the same place.

So she says Hi.

- Liar! - And she tells me, you're coming honey?

- Liar! - For real!

- So I went for it. - A real Don Juan!

Go on with your story!

Nothing more to say, I had sex with her.

- What a liar face! - No, I am just kidding.

He stayed there dumb faced

dumb faced you're pushing it!

Let me tell the story if you don't

he wanted to take a dump.

I am a bit tired.

Tired? If I was for you to offer...

It is because I am not used to it and because I am tired.

- You had the afternoon to sleep. - I didn't sleep.

OK, off with the clothes.

You didn't take everything off?

At the count of 10, I start to be angry.

Saturday 21 April. Big fight with the lady boss.

According to her, we are waiting for my radio.

Not the first time she plays that card.

She says she'll take it off from me but I'm not going to let that go.

The boss let it roll which means she doesn't hear much.

- Are you OK? - Yes I am.

- I'm not going to hurt you. - I know. You are nice.

I always put it backwards.

Cooked less, with bacon and fresh tomatoes.

- It would have been even better. - It's very good like this.

I burned my tongue.

How are you dealing with the lady boss?

She thinks I am not flirting enough with the customers.

She wants me to move my ass and smile to them.

- Just to please them. - The one who was before was not deprived.

The whole neighborhood slept with her.

Even the salesperson, she must have liked it.

It doesn't surprise me they all got this bad habit even the boss.

He has "wandering hands'..."

If he knew about us, he would let us be?

- They'll know soon enough. - Let's keep it to ourselves.

- The boss is on to me. - When will you hit on that young girl..

When we discover it, they'll put such a face!

- Are you sleepy? - A bit. Food is really good.

Tuesday 23. At 5, someone knocked at the door.

I instantly thought about the Swedish girl.

When I saw it really was her, it was a real shock.

Liv, I love you.

Coming!

Hello.

Were you sleeping?

- No, just a small nap. - Can I come in? - Yeah.

You know, I came in Paris for just a couple of days.

I thought that maybe I could stay with you.

- Here? - Yes - Why not?

- Are you happy? - Yes.

Your room is really nice.

And what's that?

Just old things, that were here before.

You have a nice bed.

I came here with a taxi cab.

The driver was crazy,

He would only speak about sex.

Saying he wanted to kiss me on the eyes.

I felt sick.

- Why two alarm clocks? - Sometimes one is not enough.

But why two?

I wake up early - Right!

It must be really hard.

Isn't it hard to deal with your friends then?

We manage.

Because it is hard to have a normal life.

- I spent time in Italy. - It's a wonderful country.

It is really easy to meet people

converse and find new friends.

What are your parents saying about this?

With my mom, it's OK.

My father is harder.

He wanted me to sign a contract

stating first that I was really studying.

Then that I didn't deal with politics.

Last, that I was never late for dinner.

So I left, and now I am here.

What about your friend?

- He lives with his mother. - He is happy. She's cool.

- How old are you? - 19. What about you? - Almost 18.

- The taxi driver was right. - Right about what?

- It must be nice kissing you on the eyes. - I really don't think so.

- Can I try? - Oh, no.

You're funny.

I am not used to boys asking.

It's nice. It's really romantic.

Romantic? Right?

When I heard knocking on the door, I thought about you.

And when I opened, you were so beautiful

I am not really beautiful.

If you look careful, you'll notice my fat ass.

- And no tits. - That's not true.

What about you?

What about your ass?

- It is quite OK. - I am sure it is.

The young boys have nice ass.

I like it a lot.

At 4 AM, Jean Paul knocked at my door. I'd missed the alarm clock.

Coming!

He's the kind to let it go, so he called the boss.

4 o'clock. I am so late.

After the night with Liv, I didn't mind being yelled at.

If you cannot wake up, change jobs.

It's not that often.

Don't make a big deal about it!

With my pay, I am doing already too much.

- You accepted the work conditions. - I don't see why I would change them.

You're late, you put us behind schedule.

And you're the one making a scene!

Having to wake up his lordship!

I had to get out of bed because of you.

You don't work this afternoon but I do!

You're taking advantage of me!

It is a nice carpet.

And so original.

You're talking more and more, and you work less and less.

I am used to people like you.

When the guys starts talking, it is because they cannot wake up.

Even in summer, 2 AM is night time.

So I just shut up?

You're the only one talking, you'll end up being always right.

OK, you're out of here.

- You'll get your count tomorrow. - And I want you out of the room, understood?

I am not going to get played by a kid.

- Rachmaninoff, you know him? - No.

- You like Pop Music? - Not really. I listen to the radio.

That's right. You have no record player.

- But you still like music, don't you? - Not really.

I am positive you like music.

Say "I love music!"

Wait here I want to show a record.

We walked with Liv around the Latin Quarter.

She enters every shop but she never buys anything.

She's got nerves.

The second one.

Being with here, I forgot every trouble I had.

And I think she liked my company.

She said it was big change for her to be with a youngster.

For him the first one.

- Do you like it? - Yes.

- So you're taking them? - No, thank you.

Well I'll buy it.

As you like.

- So, is it yes or no? - It is yes

3 francs.

Thank you and goodbye.

What will you do? Make a painting with that record?

I didn't want to stay there all my life.

- Still he's the one firing you. - He owes you indemnities.

I don't know how much but you need to find out.

He'll try to rob you for sure.

Even if you're glad you're out.

I'll go tomorrow and see what he gives me.

You know your rights?

I'm sure he has all the rights!

That's why you need to get informed, right?

- What? - Nothing.

It has to be Rosette.

Hello.

- You take off your coat? - I am not staying.

How's everything.

So what are they saying there?

The boss is saying you were out of line.

Actually it is his wife that was upset.

She's really angry at you.

She said you really changed.

- What will you do? - I'll get my money tomorrow.

- Do you want something to drink? - A cup of tea or orange juice?

Why don't you go tomorrow morning?

No way. He fired me.

I am not going to bow to him.

There's no way!

Why don't we go and talk to Denis.

He knows about these things.

I can go there and I'll give you the answer tomorrow.

I am leaving now.

Do you want me to walk you back?

Why not.

Goodbye.

I'll be right back.

Rosette, wait for me.

- Are you angry? - No I am not.

- Why is she here? - She has no place to stay. For a couple of days.

- She sleeps here? - Of course she does. That why she's here.

- She doesn't have any money. - She's not going to sleep in the street.

- It's already a mess. - Don't add some more.

"Thursday 25th. Leon came back with the news."

"We had to go and see the union guys".

"When we left, Liv was still asleep."

"Rosette was sad but Leon calmed her down."

"He thinks it's going to be all right."”

"At the union, they said I was getting robbed."

"But now, the boss has got someone to talk to."”

They told me to come here for my problems.

- What kind. - I had a fight with my boss.

- Are you an apprentice? - No, I graduated six months ago.

I've been working for 4 years with this guy.

What happened? Was it about work?

- I was late... - and we had a fight.

I defended myself.

- Did it happen a lot? - No, only twice this month.

Show me your paycheck.

Paycheck without the number of hours are illegal.

How many hours are you making?

I start at 2 AM and finish at 1 PM.

- So it's 66 hours a week. - Is that all you're making?

And I have the room and lunch.

And he told me this way, I'll pay less taxes.

And he said that at your age, you're never sick, right?

You should be making around 2400 Francs. Minus,

the room charge plus lunch.

- You don't eat dinner? - No.

It should be 2060 a month.

- Did he tell about dismissal? - No he just told me to pick up my money.

As I don't trust him, I came to see you.

Anyway, don't sign anything.

He'll try to disguise his firing as a resignation.

The best thing to do is going back to work tomorrow morning

as if nothing had happened.

I think he'll fire me.

If he does, we just need anybody testifying you were fired.

- Can you go? - Yes.

- But I am his friend. - I am not anybody.

For that matter, you are not his friend anymore.

- You were able to run away. - As you can see.

- Did they find someone to replace me? - We're running an ad tomorrow.

- Did you speak to Leon on the phone? - What was he supposed to tell me?

The boss had been paying me a grand less every month.

- I am going to ask for them. - Plus I am supposed to get indemnities.

- It makes quite a bundle. - No need to rush to work now.

It could be nice.

If you put that long face, I am leaving.

We work all day long, when we are together we are bored.

And if we're not bored, we scream at each other.

We are not married,

We know each other for just one month.

If I only cared for the swede, I wouldn't be here.

At the union, we should have checked for you.

I am sure you too are getting robbed.

I am not going to stay, if you don't work there.

Can I sit next to you?

You know, you have been mean to me.

You should learn to know the Swedish girl.

She did so many things, she went to Italy... it's incredible.

She's two years younger, but she's done ten times what we've done.

- You're a very selfish person. - You only do what you feel like.

I just want to start living my life.

If that's being selfish, then maybe I am

I am not going to spend my life making bread.

I have to be going.

- Are you coming tomorrow night? - Tonight I can't, I have to work.

At the bakery?

You'll know that tomorrow...

So we'll see you tomorrow night.

See you.

- What the hell are you doing here? - I told you I didn't want to see you again.

You were supposed to come and get your money yesterday.

If you want me out, I need an official dismissal letter.

Stating I was fired.

If that's the way you wanna play, you can split immediately.

I went to see the union.

I am paid below minimum wages.

I witnessed the whole thing.

He shouldn't play with someone stronger.

Step on it. What will we do if Henri comes up to the room?

Don't worry he won't.

This guy is dangerous.

- If he comes we'll take care of him. - I'll take care of him!

Are you coming up with me?

No, we'll wait here for a while.

If we don't see him, I split.

- Hello. I'd like to speak to the boss. - Go and see him

I'd rather he steps out.

- What would it be. - One of those.

- How much is it? - 2,50.

So here you are.

I have prepared your money. Come inside.

- I'd rather speak with you from here. - I am not going to hurt you.

I want to know why he was fired and if you intend to hire him back.

- First of all, he's the one who left. - I don't think so, I have a witness who saw you firing him.

What's that witness story?

You'll see him when needed.

But this witness exists.

After what happened here, there is no way I'll hire him back.

His work is bad and he is always late.

He learned the work with you, no?

And you are confirming you are firing him, then.

Here's the money you owe him.

Two months notice plus

2 tenths for every year he worked for you.

Plus food and lodging.

Plus his paid holidays.

That sums up to 3620 francs.

Write us a check and we're out of here.

Plus I need a dismissal letter.

And all the official papers.

It is all very nice.

But I don't have this money around.

And this total seems a bit expensive.

You can make your own count to verify.

What about the money for when I was employed.

And where am I going to sleep now?

You can stay in the room until your official dismissal letter.

The boss is never going to agree to this.

The greatest poet of our generation the very noble Leon

is going to tell a poem.

Leon the great national and international poet.

He is just going to tell you in pet to

what comes naturally through his head.

It is called.

Silence!

It is called "Oh, you three!"

"Oh, you three!"

- Oh Rosette! - You that are not a dumb nymphet!

- Oh Chris! - Chris

you're such a bullshitter.

You are always in crisis.

Oh Liv!

You really love Olives!

The worst poem ever!

I'll drink to that.

Oh you three, you are almost like royalty!

And you Leon, you are a royal asshole.

(speaking gibberish)

Allo?

I cannot hear properly.

Come closer then.

Do you want my foot?

Wonderful!!

I can read in the lines of your foot.

It is incredible!

Chris, answer for her

I have to be working.

I asked what does she do we she has some holidays.

As I work in Paris when I am free I visit my family.

It's normal.

- It's not normal... - It's more sad than normal.

My hair is dirty.

And with the money we're making, we cannot go away.

Liv... some people love their family.

Me, I really like my mother.

It is not a big deal.

And I am proud about this.

We all knew about this.

- Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

You must be going to the ball every week.

Can you put your cigar in the other hand?

OK, no problem.

Not under my nose if you will!

What a bunch of sissies.

(Speaking fake Swedish) that is real Swedish.

That is real Swedish.

That's real academic Swedish!

Academic?

Official?

No, official.

So french is not entering your conk?

It's funny when you laugh.

I can feel it in your tummy.

It is like a small animal

like a small animal walking on my hand...

Exactly, like a small animal walking on my hand.

- When it goes down, it is OK. - But when it goes up.

I taught you this one!

Don't spoil my approach (once again)

Stop laughing.

You don't have a girlfriend?

No.

You're not sad about it?

Yes.

I have a girl.

Where is she?

I cannot breathe.

- Come by the window. - You need some fresh air.

Open the window.

Go and get a chair!

I am holding her.

Breathe!

Rosette, calm down.

Do you feel better?

Are you OK?

You want to lie down?

- Better? - Yes.

Do you want a glass of water?

No I am better.

Get in bed if you're cold.

Whatever you want.

Leave her alone, that's what she needs.

- You don't need a doctor? - No, don't worry.

- If she's better, I am leaving. - I'll walk you out.

- Everything is going to be alright. - Bye Liv.

I'll smoke one for once. So cold!

Are you sick?

No but it's really cold

and I need the distraction.

You're very disturbed.

I hope they are not fighting upstairs.

Hold it.

What are you going to do?

What are you going to do?

What do you mean?

You have a lot of problems when you have two girls!

Listen,

Maybe they are enjoying each other up there!

How long is Liv staying?

I don't know. Why don't you ask her?

Would you have been upset if I had slept with Rosette?

You're a long way from that anyway.

What a night!

When I think that you had sex in front of me. No shame!

No, no shame.

Liv has a real nice body.

When you were going at it, I was really looking at her.

She thinks her tits are too small, and her ass too big.

You never have too big an ass!

But it is true. She has less tits than a Dover sole.

- You're getting mean, my friend. - Where's your car?

I'll walk you back.

It reminds me of that story

"27 April. Yesterday we got worried with Rosette.

She had a nervous breakdown."

"When I came back they were both asleep".

"I made no noise" "And I slept on the cushions.”

- Coffee? - Yes please.

Thanks.

You don't take anything?

I'll go back to bed.

I'll put the light on.

I'll see you tonight.

You forgot something.

Open the door.

I need to speak to you.

I know you're there. I heard you.

You need to leave. I need the room.

You don't work, you need to go.

Can you hear me?

Chris top he!

Open the door.

"Pay me what you owe me and I'll leave."

I'll get the cops and we'll see.

You can go and get your cops.

I don't give a damn. Fuck you!

Calm down, this guy is crazy!

Don't worry.

It's...

- Who's there? - It's Liv.

See...

You're not going on a hunger strike.

Why not?

Not this all this food under your nose.

It's not very serious.

Hunger strike is not because you don't have food.

You're mistaking with famine.

OK, but when on a hunger strike, you need to finish the food first!

After you go on strike.

Liv, tell him we don't have to empty the cupboards.

Anyway, we dislike hunger strikes!

Show me the note!

Behind the door, a young worker strikes against his boss.

- You're not on strike. - So what shall we put?

No room evacuation,

unless I get my money and my dismissal letter.

And you add...

- Young worker barricaded against his boss. - Now, that is good.

Young worker barricaded against his boss

who wouldn't give him his money.

- It's too long. - Not longer than yours.

I'll show you.

Just sign: Young worker barricaded

against the workplace injustice.

We don't say anything about this dismissal.

What's the use of your thing?

If the cops come, they have a chance to know...

If the cops were to come, they'll be already here.

You don't know that.

And this letter won't stop them.

Why not. If they come, we should at least put something for them to read.

OK. Take care of it by yourself, then.

Writing is not easy.

Smell this

I hate this kind of things

I get a kick of perfume.

- So when is screwing happening? - We have to wait for the specialist.

Well.

I'll tell her what you said.

You don't have to tell everything.

Young salesperson specialized in bread making.

Can she come in, chief?

- How are doing? - Fine, thanks.

- How are you Rosette? - Hello.

- You bought flowers? - Yes, Liv bought it.

You know that the boss came.

- He wanted to knock the door off. - He said he'll fetch the cops.

I know. I got scared.

- Was he upset? - I didn't see him.

Your replacement arrived at 2 AM.

- And they went straight to the room. - With a spare key.

Yes of course, he has a spare one.

- You know that Leon is staying with us. - He brought his mattress.

Really. What did your mother say?

As long as I am with Chris, she's OK with it.

He's her favorite one.

What about the new guy?

- He's nice. A bit provincial. - A bit like me.

He's a bit shy I think. He's our age.

- He's our age. - I thought he would take someone younger.

It's cheaper.

- I made a decision. - I am not getting back to work.

You don't know what you're getting into with us.

You're eavesdropping on everything!

You know if you stop working

your parents are going to know it.

- They could be quite upset with it. - The boss is going to write to them.

I don't know.

You need to think it over.

I already took my decision.

But we are really happy that you are here.

What are we going to do with this one?

I don't know, we'll try her and see how she is.

No kidding, I am really happy you're here.

- What about you Liv? - I want her to stay, so does Leon.

We throw her out of window?

She has to stay with us.

Here we are. Unanimous vote!

- We are all happy. - It figures!

So you need to settle down.

I brought my bags.

Ah! You had all figure it out.

|I didn't know if I was welcome.

You should have said it instead of fooling around

- I wasn't fooling around. - You looked sullen.

I was not sullen.

Maybe I am just tired also.

That's right, you're a working girl.

Enough whispering you two.

- Did you sleep well? - Um.

You always sleep well with me.

- Do you want me to heat your milk? - Please.

- Lucky it is Sunday. - I'll bring you breakfast in bed.

You don't want breakfast

I took it already - Really?

Nice sunshine.

Yes, very nice

I'll open the window?

- As you like. - I don't care..if you want me to open it?

Open it then.

Last night was wonderful.

When I woke up, your arms around me.

I felt like I kissed you.

Don't dream about an impossible story.

Careful, he's a real heart-throb.

Really?

I was just saying that it felt really nice.

You get it?

Beware...

Yes!

Enough.

Now Mr. Chris, you take your chair and put it there.

In front of the wall.

Right now!

And Leon you do the same.

In front of the wall.

Right now I am going to wash.

And it is not a show for the little kids.

See you later.

In my opinion, it is quite a show.

Close your eyes but open your ears. Sick as you are, you'll still enjoy the sound of it.

- I am starting to like it. - We're so twisted.

- What's so funny? - It is a story for boys not girls.

There's no difference between boys and girls.

If there is no difference we can turn our head. On the count of 5,4, 3.

No stop it.

In life the difference are not what we talk...

What I mean is that there is no difference when we talk.

But only in life or at work.

Your story is too complicated.

So when we talk it is not life?

No, it is just a matter of philosophy.

You know about philosophy?

So did I make myself clear?

Not at all. So can we turn around now?

No, because it is the same in life.

You need a little more education.

Yes, please come and make our education

you need to buy books.

Maybe if we turn around that would educative for us.

And then we won't be little kids,

- you good teacher. - Just grown-ups.

OK, we turn around then?

- I'd rather you don't do it. - It's not the first time I am doing it.

It is so high.

It is not the first time I do it.

I'll see you all in a minute.

With the money you'll get,

you can buy a real ladder.

"Plants coming straight from America. With colorful leaves."

"Either grown in-house or in a garden".

"It's quite sad".

"It is misery."

"Third question."

Come in.

Is it here.

Hello everybody.

Do you know what is the GRAW?

It is the "Group Resisting All Work".

I like it.

I feel like a resistant suddenly.

This one is made for you.

If I was with them, I could be one of their leaders.

"On your knees!"

They have a guy going on a hunger strike right now. A guy from GRAW.

A guy from GRAW?! Explain...

Basically he's like you, striking for his indemnities.

He's with a big company right?

When he's striking, at least he has a whole group behind him.

Me I am all by myself against the boss.

Your friend Rosette is cute.

But she looks worried about something.

Be careful.

She's just nervous when she doesn't know the house.

No, there's something else.

It is a catch 22.

It is because...

You are tense if you don't have good sex.

And you can't have good sex when you are tense.

Well,

She is not going to change overnight.

It depends on you.

You don't do a thing.

She is young and you're her first lover

and you are so unclear with her.

You doesn't know on what foot she stands

is it correct in French?

You need to be sweeter with her.

Especially for a girl. Very!

She's right. You need to be nice!

She doesn't know who I am

I am a person who are

twisted her normal life.

And you don't explain to her my position with you

I don't quite agree with your story.

What don't you understand?

What don't you understand?

He rather not understand.

It is nice to have a small garden like this one.

It's quite funny.

But it would better to be a bunch.

Alone all day long.

What about Denis these days?

Everything's fine.

He works, comes back home.

He doesn't speak much

I don't know...

But I don't think it is going to last.

Denis likes to move around

I know.

I really don't know why we took this house.

Me neither.

We thought it would be better for the children.

It sure is better for kids.

I know.

"It's Sunday and we are coming back from Denis's house."

"Leon has really been drinking."

"He was OK but Liv yelled at him. She doesn't like people drinking like this."

"Leon took it bad and still didn't stop drinking."

"After, I took advantage and beat him at table tennis for the very first time."

- Who is it? - It is the new baker.

- Are you alone? - Yes.

Hello.

- You lock the door? - Yes.

Liv and this one you know, and Leon.

Hi Leon - Hi man.

In fact his name is Christian, but to avoid

mistaking with my name Chris top he we call him Leon.

Take a chair.

- So what's your name? - Francois.

- You want a cigarette. - Don't mind if I do.

Thanks.

It's nice.

The room is quite nice.

- It is more an attic. - It belongs to the boss.

He uses it to park things.

It will be all yours when the boss pays us.

You know I don't really care about this.

Don't tell the boss you came here and that you saw Rosette.

Don't worry. I am not a snitch.

You're fine with him?

I never try to be friends with bosses.

I work and that's it

he bothers me I split.

Just like me. I always leave even when everything's fine.

And when you leave, how do you do it?

I have my simple method.

A good left and it's settled.

What does it mean, settled?

That's how we say it in Paris.

- He fought and then he's out. - He did a battle?

Right, a battle.

How did it happen?

Well

with my fists.

You yelled "I am not happy" and bing.

There are limits not to be stepped on.

When you get all riled up, and your nerves heat up.

It is always money matter?

No, I don't really care about the money

I didn't come to Paris to be a baker.

Just to make bread.

It allows me to pay my school and to go out.

- What kind of school? - Acting school.

Can you play something for us?

Right now?

- Go ahead! - Come on!

OK. But Silence for 2 minutes.

Beware. The artist is getting into character.

"Such a strange thing to be a woman of quality".

Silence!

"And what an instructive lesson my marriage is to all peasants"

"who wish to raise above their condition"

"and to ally themselves."

"As I have done, to a nobleman's family."

"Nobility, in itself, is good; It is a thing."

"But it is attended by so many ugly circumstances."

"That, it is better not to come in contact with it."

- What language. - It is by Moliere.

"Ah! George Dan din!"

"It is just his name!"

"George Dan din! You have committed a folly".

"The greatest folly in the world."

"1 hate my house now!"

"And it with sadness I live in it."

Scene 1, Act 1.

It must be tough to learn.

So where do you come from?

We have nothing against the out-of-towners.

I sure hope so.

Rosette she's an out of towner too.

And Liv she's from Sweden, even further than you.

The show.

The snow was falling on cedars.

I don't use that line very often.

Maybe you can sign some autographs to us.

We'll sell it for a fortune.

Be careful it is my journal!

What do I write?

Whatever you feel like.

Dear Friends, with our first names.

To my dear Christopher.

Yes, Christopher.

And Leon, And Rosette, And Liv too.

Everybody.

OK, but it is my journal.

Did you write the date?

Date and time.

Happy?

It is your real signature, I hope!

If he changes, we'll look stupid.

Christopher!

I can hear some footsteps upstairs.

On the roof -yes.

People are walking on the roof.

At this hour?

What time is it?

Quarter to two.

It cannot be the cops.

It's easier for them to break the door.

Who is it then?

I don't know.

I don't hear a thing.

Liv, Liv.

Liv, wake up.

Somebody is walking upstairs.

I cannot hear a thing.

Me, I heard something.

Calm down.

Nobody's looking for you.

Your boss is not going to come during the night.

- That's for sure. - Nobody is going to come at night

- without a noise. - So what is it then?

- OK come back to bed, Joan of Arc. - It is a...

Are you sure you heard something? Yes I am certain.

It must be an animal... a cat.

Or bird I don't know...

- Want a glass of water? - Leave me alone, I'll calm myself.

OK, bedtime.

It's very strange.

"Somebody climbs the stairs. We pretend to sleep."

"Rosette could be right. Maybe the cops are onto us."

"Then, we slept until 10."

"I love staying in bed."

"We were lazy all morning" ”.

Chris, we need to get out.

We need to get out.

I am not on holidays, I am on strike.

We cannot stay here like prisoners.

We need to see people.

It feels like jail.

Then I will go out by myself.

I'll come back tonight.

See you later.

- What are you doing Leon? - I am getting bored.

Why didn't you go with her?

I didn't want to let you down.

You're quite stupid then.

- If I am stupid. - Then I will go with her then.

You still haven't wrote your parents?

I wouldn't know what to say.

They won't understand.

They'll know eventually.

Right.

OK, they're clean.

We haven't been talking lately.

Naturally, we're always together.

- You mean the 4 of us? - Yes.

Look Rosette.

Charles Bronson in his prime.

You look sad, what's wrong?

I don't know.

What's going on?

I don't know what's wrong.

When you know, will you tell me?

- I feel ugly. - But how can you say that?

- Liv is so beautiful. - For me, you're more beautiful.

Better tits.

Her face is nicer than mine.

- You still love me a little bit? - Of course I do.

Do you want to fool around?

- Does it mean you need me to go out? - Yes it does.

You call me when you're ready?

- What are you doing here? - Rosette is washing herself.

I couldn't find Liv

I tried all the way to the Subway. She must have not taken it.

Do you mind coming back in 10 to 15 minutes?

OR 20 minutes, right..I get it.

Is it getting better with Rosette?

Do you mind if I wait here?

You'll wave me in.

If the cops come, I ask them to wait 10 minutes too?

Rosette, we are going to Francois's.

What time is it?

11! We are going to his place to see his tuxedo

I woke you up because...

Because I don't want you to wake up alone and worried.

I am coming with you.

You get dressed fast then.

Who is it?

The plumber!

- Chris and Leon. - Leon and Chris.

We're not disturbing.

The girls wanted to come.

Didn't want to sleep before seeing your tuxedo!

Girls out until the tux is on!

I am supposed to wear my tux?

- They came just for it. - You bought it to show it right?

Is that it?

- You're going to be so classy. - Go ahead.

Especially Liv. She likes hairy men like you.

OK, let's do it fast.

- We're waiting! - Wait a sec! It's worth it!

We don't want to wait our whole life!

Just ten more seconds.

Leon, let us start the countdown

3,2,1...

Whoa, so elegant!

What about your shoes?

No you have to wear it off.

A real gentleman.

- Now you need to smoke a cigar! - I just have cigarettes here.

- No cigar? - No I don't have...

- It is too bad for the cigars! - This distorts.

So you can shake hands with your right.

"Only two days until I get the money from the union."

"We don't know what we are going to do with it."

"Leon wants me to buy him a chauffeur's hat and that we go to the beach".

"Any we are going to party soon".

"Hurray for my pal Leon, Hurray for Liv."

"Hurray for Rosette, and hurray for me."

Close your eyes and don't laugh

I don't see anything.

Then again my eyes are closed.

It is not God coming.

You'll feel relaxed.

OK, OK I'll try to do it.

Stop it!

If you don't want to learn, it is not my problem. It is yours.

- You need to relax. - If you're nervous, it doesn't work.

I am trying.

I have a hard time with my feet actually.

I am not used to put them this way.

Move them.

As I am relaxed now, I can have a drink right?

You know...

(Speaking gibberish Swedish)

(Speaking gibberish Swedish)

(Speaking gibberish Swedish)

You're making fun of me, right?

- You're making fun of me, right? - (Speaking gibberish Swedish)

(Speaking gibberish Swedish)

- What shall we do? - We put Leon close to Rosette?

Who's easier to move Leon or Rosette?

Leon because Rosette will wake up.

Because I don't want to close to you and Leon.

Do not pull that long face!

Come and see me here.

Chris is not a nice guy.

You should have seen instantly I was better than him.

- OK I have a big nose. - But it is not such a big deal, right?

- You're making a mistake here. - But that's life!

- How can you be in love with Chris. - He is so small!

- And not such a good job. - Mechanic that's a real job.

Love is blind.

In the meantime he's deaf and dumb.

Will you stop that?

OK, don't worry Liv will be back soon.

If she left it is because she knew she's not wanted here.

You don't understand a single thing!

I am going to get my mail.

I am waiting for a letter from my folks.

Maybe I won't be back tonight.

I'll be waiting for you.

Bye.

Happy?

What about you?

You deserve it.

Don't you think you're overdoing it?

Why didn't you say it earlier?

Instead of sulking like this

and shutting it up like a shithead.

Still, it is no excuse for what you did.

I am not looking for excuses.

I hate seeing you like this.

Still you pushed it too far.

If you have something to say, say it!

- Well, now it is out. - Out but a bit too late.

If you need us to be alone to talk, it may be a bad idea to be four.

You're quite incredible.

- You do the mess. - And I am the one responsible.

I am not blaming you.

Yes you do. You blame my silence.

I am not blaming you or your silence.

Well, you should have been more careful then.

And stop this shit because it's starting to get on my nerves.

OK, I am the one to be blamed.

I don't point any finger, here.

Anyway, I don't care!

In the meantime, she's gone.

THEY'RE gone!

Still.

I wake up.

She's in her corner, not saying anything.

That is when you should speak to me.

- And don't say she's the one unhappy. - Say you're unhappy too.

Tell me I am out of line.

Get lost - Here you go again.

- Who is it? - Liv.

Hey.

- What are you doing here? - Not much.

Are you OK?

Quite - Sure?

- Where's Rosette? - She went for her mail at the foyer.

They had a fight.

Is she coming back?

We don't know. She was sad. I actually don't think she'll come back.

You have been mean to her.

- She didn't say she won't come back. - But it is obvious she won't.

Hello.

You're not the one I was waiting for.

Chris asked you to come?

I am the one who wanted to come.

What for?

To talk to you.

And to say what?

I wanted to speak...

Because I know I am causing

all this crisis between you and Chris.

So what?

I think I am old enough to deal with this by myself, understand?

It is not a question of being old enough or not.

You need to understand...

What are trying to explain then?

I came here because...

- Yes I understand... You know what? - I'd like to leave now... I am sorry.

I really don't think like listening to you right now.

Rosette, Chris and you are a couple.

But me I am not a girl for him.

I am just a two week story.

You need to understand

I am not a girl who settles.

I don't feel like listening.

You can't, with a man.

A man is not something that you own.

Stop it!

I am so fed up of your trying to explain things to me!

I want to understand by myself.

Now I'd really want you to go away.

Hold on...

You... You and Chris are perfect together.

- I am just a dream for Chris. - Something he can never have.

Our lives are totally different.

I really like Chris, But I don't want to break anything.

And I know how perfect you are for him.

How long have you been thinking this?

I didn't see how miserable you were.

Come on, stop your bullshit

I really didn't know.

He's so young and he never mentioned you or anything.

- But now I know how you're feeling. - I want you to come.

You need to come with me.

- Will you be here? - No, I am leaving.

Anyway, I had the firm intention to go there.

So you're coming?

That's nice.

I am coming and stop your moral speeches.

It's not a moral matter.

Can I close the door?

Go ahead.

I'll close.

I am sorry for my behavior but that's how I act when I am angry.

Excuse me for my coming too.

We are all a bit crazy.

It is always a battle

against the education we received.

It is not that obvious.

It depends.

The union guy went to the shop to speak with the boss and.

- I should be receiving the money. - Really?

Yes, I need to go the union tomorrow...

Leon... and the others.

How are you doing?

- What about you? - I am good!

Let me introduce you my friend.

I met him. He's going to Sweden and I am going with him.

It's better for me.

Are we ready? Are we leaving, now?

- You want that I should take my bag? - And arrange it?

- Could you please go down and wait for what I have to say? - Yes, of course!

Bye!

Leon: Good luck to you. Liv (giggles): To you as well!

- Rosette: Bye! - Liv: I will soon write you telling you how I am doing.

Rosette: We'll answer you.

Can I speak with you? Outside?

I need to tell you.

I really like you.

But I am not in love with you.

More like a little brother to me.

- I'll write you soon. - At Leon's mom place.

I hope that everything turns all right.

I have to go.

Bye.

[Door notice] Young worker locked struggling against his boss's injustice.

Heart - Liar!

Right!

Are you feeling fine?

Clubs.

- Are you thirsty? - I will go and get something.

What do you feel like?

Water with a splash of wine.

"May 4th. 10 AM. Rosette received a letter form his father."

"He wants her to come back home or he will come and get her himself."

"The boss must have warned him."

"I begged her to stay but she's scared of him and would rather go there to explain the situation to her dad - "She says she will be back"

"2 PM."

"Rosette Colas", living 7 tennis lane in Bourges - has left."

"Because of the exploitation by the boss!"

OK my turn.

Clubs.

Hello.

Hello sir, I am calling about the dismissal of one of your employee.

I came last week.

You were supposed to see your accountant.

We still receive no money, we would like to know why.

Oh No. We have proof you fired him.

I think this thing will settle in court.

I think we don't have anything to say to each other.

He wanted to kick me out of the room, he threatened to call the cops.

That's no cop business.

This is your room.

We are going to open a file at your name.

But, how long is it going to last?

Considering the money asked.

It could be close to a million.

So it could last close to a year.

But how much money will I receive then?

Indemnities are a sure thing.

For the rest I'll do the math

but we will probably need to meet it halfway.

Such bullshit!

That is the way Justice works.

But I'll try to get the maximum amount.

- Do you have a job? - No.

Listen, I will write you a letter for the unemployment office.

- Close to Clichy. - They'll try to find you some work, OK?

OK

"May 7th. Still no news from Rosette. She probably was abducted by her parents."

"As the money isn't coming soon".

"We packed our stuff and left the room."

"I kept the key as a souvenir."

"We are going to Bourges to see Rosette."

"If it goes well with her parents maybe we'll get married".

Hello. We are here to visit Rosette.

What do you want from her.

We're friends of hers from Paris.

She's feeling sick. She won't see anyone.

- Just tell her it's Chris and Leon. - Yes, I know who you are.

She doesn't want to see you

I am sure she does!

Rosette! Rosette!
