1
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,553
Based on a novel by
Henri Murger
2
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,552
Shit.
3
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,551
Have I hurt myself?
4
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,518
My God!
5
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,278
Blood!
6
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,276
Going well, Marcel?
- No.
7
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,916
What do you think, with the
middle of my face smashed in?
8
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,117
Some red...
9
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,836
These glasses are smaller than
a drunkard's hallucinations.
10
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,716
What did the publisher say?
Any luck? - No. The swine!
11
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:20,388
Claimed it was too long,
he demanded cuts -
12
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,831
but without promising or
advancing me a thing... The lout!
13
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,792
Why not let me read it?
14
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,877
You? - Me.
15
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,832
You can read?
16
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,598
Are you joking?
17
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,872
I went to grammar school in Mon�ao
before coming to Paris.
18
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,640
I can read it in the evening
before retiring.
19
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,114
Why not?
20
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,880
You'll give me
the people's appraisal -
21
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,839
and put the publishers to shame.
22
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,429
"The Avenger". A play in 21 acts,
by Marcel Marx.
23
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,075
EVICTION NOTICE
24
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,352
Good morning, Monsieur Marcel.
25
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,755
You do recall that it is the eighth?
26
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,912
So soon?
Time passes fast as a deer.
27
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,235
You're a bit slow
in vacating the premises.
28
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,237
It is already half-past eleven -
29
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,795
and the new tenant
may arrive at any moment.
30
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,030
Allow me to fetch a moving van.
31
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,713
By all means -
32
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,475
but first there is
a minor formality to see to.
33
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,675
The three months' rent.
34
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,878
I'm certain you agree.
- But of course.
35
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,351
Then kindly into my office
and I will give you a receipt.
36
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,869
When I return.
- Why not now?
37
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:49,039
I must go to the bank. I don't go
around carrying that kind of money.
38
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,471
I see... No cash. Permit me,
then, to take charge of -
39
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,832
what you're carrying
so it doesn't burden you.
40
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,431
You think I'd carry off
my belongings in a bag?
41
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:04,993
Those are the rules.
42
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,670
You are not to remove so much as
a single hair until the rent is paid.
43
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,475
These are not hairs but shirts
that I am taking to be ironed -
44
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,359
at he laundry
just next door to the bank.
45
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,994
Please do not misunderstand me -
46
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:23,194
but experience has shaken
my faith in tenants.
47
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,236
Hugo had best
accompany you to the bank.
48
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,830
See this man? He's been
casing the bank for three days now.
49
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,555
I live nearby... His companion is
around the corner in a Alfa Romeo -
50
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,638
reading Le Monde.
He has the paper upside down.
51
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,957
Of course I may be mistaken,
but I wish to do my duty.
52
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,430
What do you suppose is in the bag?
53
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,274
My apartment,
has it been vacated?
54
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,199
Not yet, Monsieur Schaunard,
but very soon.
55
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,313
The previous tenant has just gone
to fetch a moving van.
56
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,717
In the meanwhile, you may put
your furniture in the yard.
57
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,273
I am afraid -
58
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,597
that it will rain
and my furniture will be ruined.
59
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,398
You will forgive me
if I ask your profession -
60
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,149
but you neglected to note it
in the lease.
61
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,148
Leave the piano and return at once
to my old lodgings -
62
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,318
to fetch the rest of my
precious furnishings and -
63
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,875
works of art.
64
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,475
From the Ministry of War.
65
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,638
It's just arrived by courier.
66
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,070
From the Ministry of War...
67
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,757
It must be the pension -
68
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,996
I've been seeking all these years.
69
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,839
At last, some recognition
of my achievements.
70
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,076
Dear Monsieur Bernard,
courtesy demands that I inform you -
71
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,840
of my having landed
in such a predicament -
72
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,713
that I am unable at this time
to observe the custom -
73
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,595
requiring me to pay my rent,
especially when it's due.
74
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,070
Until this morning I had hoped to
honor this lovely day -
75
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,798
by paying my rent.
Delusion!
76
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,719
As I slept
cradled in false certainty, -
77
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,515
misfortune, ananke in Greek,
dashed my hopes.
78
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,518
Sizable sums on which I had counted
were not forthcoming -
79
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,439
but our beautiful France and I
will see better days -
80
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,795
have no doubt of that.
The moment we do, -
81
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,117
I shall hasten to inform you of it -
82
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,790
and to remove from my lodgings
the precious possessions -
83
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,276
I leave to your safekeeping
and the law's -
84
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,756
which restrains you
from selling them for one year.
85
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,270
Until then you are at liberty
to use the luxurious flat -
86
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,232
in which I have resided.
87
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:19,639
In affirmation of my consent, I here
affix my signature. Marcel Marx.
88
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,038
Two half-trouts.
- Yes, sir.
89
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,916
That was a curious order.
90
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,318
On the contrary. This method yields
on average a quarter more -
91
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,318
than when
a full portion is ordered.
92
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,273
Where is my order?
93
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,519
Unfortunately the last of the trout
went to this gentleman here.
94
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,112
May I invite you
to partake of this course with me?
95
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,278
I would not deprive you
what is yours, sir.
96
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,439
You will deprive me, then, of the
pleasure of expressing my good will?
97
00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:41,956
That being the case, sir, then...
98
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,753
Permit me to refrain from
serving you the head.
99
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,190
That I couldn't allow.
100
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,750
For if the head is
man's noblest appendage -
101
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,271
it is the most unpleasant
part of a trout.
102
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:03,838
Two heads...
103
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,919
This trout is bicephalic,
a word coming from the Greek -
104
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,991
and meaning...
105
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,156
precisely this.
106
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,552
However, I harbor no regrets
about eating this phenomenon.
107
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,677
The sauce was excellent.
108
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,552
True.
109
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,188
It was prepared
in the city of Bearn -
110
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,198
and its fine reputation
is richly deserved.
111
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,359
You seem very learned.
You are not from here? - No.
112
00:12:39,560 --> 00:12:41,516
I come from Albania -
113
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,598
and have lived in Paris
only three years now.
114
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,314
Yet you have already mastered
our language.
115
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,433
My nurse was French,
from Barcelona.
116
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,791
My name is Rodolfo -
117
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,638
and I am a painter.
118
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,717
Marcel Marx, author.
119
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,275
May I offer you a bottle of wine?
120
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,277
Only on condition -
121
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,438
that I see to the coffee
and accouterments.
122
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,990
As a painter, don't you think -
123
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,993
that Malevitch's
black square on white -
124
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,589
is as lethal a blow to painting as -
125
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,156
the school of Vienna - Schoenberg,
Berg, Webern and others -
126
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,555
is to music?
127
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,671
Let's go!
128
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,558
I live nearby.
129
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,320
We may continue
our discussion there.
130
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,154
I descended
the impassive river -
131
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,794
unguided now
by the bargemen's lines.
132
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,275
Howling Indians
had struck them down -
133
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,550
and nailed them naked
to colored Stakes.
134
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,796
He's beautiful, Rimbaud.
135
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,235
Here we are.
136
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,311
Strange, the key is in the lock, -
137
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,876
although I put it
in my pocket this morning -
138
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,510
where it is still.
139
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,318
Witchery!
140
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,272
Two keys.
141
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,150
A violin...
this is not where I live after all.
142
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,716
May I be of any assistance?
143
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,595
I am mistaken.
This is not my home.
144
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,268
I ask your pardon
on my friend's behalf.
145
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,232
He is drunk as a pig.
146
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,396
We are home after all...
147
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,275
Is that not my finery?
148
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:12,952
And these?
149
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:17,073
My Turkish slippers...
given to me by beloved hands?
150
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,913
In consequence, Marcel Marx is
obligated to vacate the premises -
151
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,350
by noon of February eighth...
152
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,074
And am I not the Marcel Marx -
153
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,794
the landlord has evicted...?
154
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,030
The situation is as follows.
155
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,038
By law, the premises are mine -
156
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,310
for you have been evicted -
157
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,476
and I have paid in advance.
158
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,238
For the premises -
159
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,796
not the furnishings. If I pay up,
I may legally remove them.
160
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,594
I would, were it possible,
even do so illegally.
161
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,270
Thus, you have furnishings
but no lodgings, -
162
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,677
and I have lodgings
but no furniture. - Precisely.
163
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,233
The room pleases me.
164
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,351
And me? It never pleased me more.
165
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,870
Pardon? - Never so much as now.
I do know what I'm saying.
166
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,072
What say you
we irrigate this explanation?
167
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,555
What a great pipe you have.
168
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,719
I have yet a handsomer one
for when I am in society.
169
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,480
Would you care to try it?
- With pleasure.
170
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,272
You appear to be
a man of musical bent.
171
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,358
A composer.
172
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,710
I am writing a work called -
173
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,957
"The Influence of Blue -
174
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,272
on the Arts".
175
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:19,957
I can't see you now.
176
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:21,758
Why not?
177
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,638
Good morning.
178
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,318
Mademoiselle.
179
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,671
There is my answer.
- I understand.
180
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,590
Just the same, you might
lend me a thousand francs.
181
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,756
I'm out of colors -
182
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,191
and unable to complete
my masterpiece.
183
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,437
You ask no small thing.
I'm temporarily broke.
184
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,790
Couldn't you borrow it
from the girl?
185
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,515
That would not do.
Not yet. We met only yesterday.
186
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,188
And Schaunard?
- Haven't seen him all week.
187
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,152
Good-bye.
188
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,112
Where are you going?
189
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:03,913
To your place -
190
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,515
to collect what you owe me.
191
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,235
You'll find I'm not at home.
192
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,991
I can't pay you back today.
193
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,395
I am waiting for a girl.
194
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,837
But you may pawn my ring.
195
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,037
There she is.
196
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:24,878
Get lost.
197
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,029
And what if she returns to you -
198
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,708
and you no longer have the ring?
199
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,515
She won't come back...
200
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,518
She ran off with an American.
201
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,797
He had a Cadillac.
202
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,877
It's a shame about the children.
203
00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:58,079
They were left with me
and there is no money for food...
204
00:20:59,360 --> 00:21:01,396
They cry out from hunger -
205
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:02,794
in the night.
206
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,319
How old are they?
207
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,829
Fourteen, nine -
208
00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:09,076
seven, six -
209
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,111
three, two, one -
210
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,231
and the youngest half a year.
211
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,032
So many.
212
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,073
We were young and in love...
213
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,274
It was spring.
214
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,231
You look strange...
215
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,476
What ails you?
216
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,914
I think I am in love.
217
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,232
With whom?
218
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,152
I don't know -
219
00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:03,874
but she's sitting over there.
220
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,670
She's not bad looking.
221
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,670
Why not do something?
222
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,794
And what if she rejects me?
223
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,669
I could hardly endure that.
224
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,229
It is our custom in Albania
first to...
225
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,715
Sit here...
226
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,953
and I will go and speak
in your behalf.
227
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,833
I shall awaken in her heart
a passion -
228
00:23:33,120 --> 00:23:34,997
for you...
229
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,151
I'll lie -
230
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,470
shamelessly.
231
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,072
Good evening.
232
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,436
You see him over there?
233
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,198
He is in love -
234
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,072
with you.
235
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,396
But so am I.
236
00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:32,157
Excuse me...
237
00:24:32,360 --> 00:24:34,874
Can I help you? - I fell asleep...
238
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:37,350
Where are you going? - Nowhere...
239
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,518
I am here,
but my girlfriend is not in.
240
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,517
I was to live with her.
241
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,392
It is no use waiting.
242
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,672
She was taken to prison,
for three years.
243
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,676
Now what I do?
244
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,589
I arrived today from Rouen
and I know no one here.
245
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,118
If you like...
246
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,834
I live in the next room.
247
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:07,799
Tell me -
248
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,833
are you a proper
French gentleman? - No.
249
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:12,792
I mean, yes, I am -
250
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,071
but not French.
251
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,191
Albanian.
252
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,391
That will have to do.
253
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,913
I am going now,
and taking the dog with me.
254
00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:58,112
He is sometimes noisy at night,
from nightmares.
255
00:25:58,320 --> 00:25:59,912
But why?
256
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,196
I can sleep on the couch.
257
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,356
It is too hard to serve as a bed.
258
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,039
And besides -
259
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,117
I am hot-blooded -
260
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,436
and you are very beautiful.
261
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,240
Then where will you go?
- To a friend's.
262
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,715
He lives quite nearby.
263
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:18,958
Sleep peacefully.
264
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,436
I'll be back in the morning.
265
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,559
I have gone to seek lodgings.
Thank you for your kindness. Mimi.
266
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,996
Where is your black coat?
267
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,236
Can't you see?
268
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,911
You have ruined it...
269
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,111
I am lost.
270
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,956
Newspaper czar Gassot
summons me.
271
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,192
He is founding a fashion magazine,
The Girdle of Iris -
272
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,396
and plans to make me
editor-in-chief.
273
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,438
If I appear in this get-up,
he'll change his mind.
274
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,108
You cannot accept his offer anyway.
275
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:13,753
Gassot -
276
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,871
is a supporter of the Right.
277
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,600
Your principles prevent you
eating bread -
278
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,677
bathed in the sweat of the people.
- You're mistaken.
279
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,599
He's in the left
of the parliamentary Right -
280
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,711
and voted for widows pensions.
281
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,037
Besides, he knows people
of influence from whom I can get -
282
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,835
commissions for your compositions
and Rodolfo's portraits.
283
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:34,712
That changes everything.
284
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,036
When do you meet him?
285
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,797
At five.
286
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,835
There is no time to lose.
287
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,235
The shoes can be polished black -
288
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:53,718
so no one will notice that one is
round-toed and the other pointed.
289
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,275
All I need is a black coat.
290
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,559
I would give ten years of my life
and my right hand for one.
291
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,792
Is Rodolfo the painter in?
- I am.
292
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,554
My cousin recommends
your reasonable portraits.
293
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,990
I am told they are good likenesses.
294
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,311
More precise than photographs.
295
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,990
He is talented. He even took
all the awards in school.
296
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:22,273
My son won an award, and he is
only seven. - A talented child.
297
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,989
This portrait you want, Monsieur...
- Blancheron, of Nantes -
298
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,758
manufacturer of sugar.
299
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,554
I have also written books
on the subject.
300
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,957
The picture could be of...
middle size.
301
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,515
Like that on... Who is it?
302
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,278
My mother.
303
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,712
How much would one of that size
cost? - From 1,000 to 1,200 francs.
304
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,595
Depending on whether the hands show.
- My cousin said five hundred.
305
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,275
It depends on the season.
Paint prices vary with the by season.
306
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,995
How very interesting...
just like sugar. - Precisely.
307
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,317
Make one for 1,000 francs.
- That is a mistake...
308
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:01,354
For 200 more, he will paint your
hands, holding your book on sugar.
309
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,677
It is essential.
- Would that look good?
310
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,350
Exceptionally good.
Is the painting to go in your home?
311
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,152
Yes, in the living room.
312
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,477
Then you must be painted
in your smoking jacket.
313
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,749
Please sit in this chair -
314
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,151
and take off your coat.
315
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,795
I have no smoking jacket with me.
316
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,151
Not to worry,
my friend will lend you his.
317
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,989
Marcel, please hang up
the gentleman's coat.
318
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,079
How unfortunate
that I will be late for supper.
319
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:51,558
The restaurant downstairs
will bring us whatever we want.
320
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,514
I'll go see to the order.
321
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,591
I have several ideas -
322
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,479
for the improvement of the
contents of The Girdle of Iris.
323
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,355
For instance, one could,
perhaps, I'd suggest...
324
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,075
Publish a play, for example,
and along with the play -
325
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,113
the characters
dressed in a certain way -
326
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:27,029
and to present that as the fashion,
the latest fashion, of course.
327
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,356
And one also could envisage -
328
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:33,394
something else. Like, for example,
how should I say it -
329
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:37,388
a serial novel,
the works of Baudelaire.
330
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,396
When may I fetch it?
331
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,751
I will complete it tomorrow
and bring it to you.
332
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:01,313
I would prefer to pay at once
rather than remain in debt to you.
333
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,679
We are alike in that respect.
334
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,031
My cash is at the hotel.
You'll have it tomorrow.
335
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,198
If you would get me my coat...
336
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,914
It was very dusty,
so I had it laundered.
337
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:29,193
They charged only forty francs.
- You may put it on my account.
338
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,791
I'm paying nothing.
339
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,558
Merde!
340
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,518
The swine!
341
00:34:08,720 --> 00:34:10,870
He wanted money -
342
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,156
for a few kilometres.
343
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,476
There must be 60,000 francs there.
344
00:34:21,720 --> 00:34:24,359
15,240 francs, to be precise.
345
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:28,553
Advance payment for editing a
sample Issue of The Girdle of Iris.
346
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,358
Here is my plan.
347
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,988
Secure from life's material woes -
348
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,909
I intend to do some serious work.
First I will get rid of these rags -
349
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:41,193
and dress decently, so the
fashion salons will respect me.
350
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,231
If you'll follow my example -
351
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,073
I can put you to work as
advertising agents.
352
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:50,478
Until then let a strict economy
govern our lives.
353
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,870
I accept wholeheartedly.
354
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:54,957
But to start with give me -
355
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:58,237
a couple of thousand francs.
- Why?
356
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:03,430
To find advertisers
I must have a car -
357
00:35:04,240 --> 00:35:05,912
with which -
358
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,873
to seek them out in the provinces.
359
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:10,752
This is true.
360
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,636
Shall we order a table?
361
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,310
Yes, then I can tell you more
about my new job.
362
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,715
There's an excellent restaurant
a short way from here.
363
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,831
It is rather expensive, -
364
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,476
but we can make up the difference
in time saved.
365
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:29,831
But from tomorrow on -
366
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,709
we shall attempt to devise
yet further means of economizing.
367
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,595
Instead of eating out,
we shall hire a female cook.
368
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,954
It would be wiser to procure
a manservant -
369
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,156
who could double as cook.
370
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,794
Our household
would always be in order -
371
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,913
and we would have more time to work,
with him to shine our shoes -
372
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,953
and see to our urgent affairs.
373
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,958
Then we will need
larger accommodations.
374
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,276
That, in any case, is unavoidable -
375
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,678
that we may live in keeping
with our new position.
376
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:10,792
I'll be back.
377
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,357
A pack of Celtiques, please.
378
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:28,878
Good evening, Mimi.
379
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:30,911
You found a job...
380
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,198
As you can see.
381
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:34,913
And a place to live?
382
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:36,951
With the job.
383
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,510
Are you going to the nightclub?
384
00:36:39,720 --> 00:36:41,233
No.
385
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,311
Just escorting my friends.
386
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,511
I don't care for modern music.
387
00:36:45,720 --> 00:36:47,870
I might have a drink though.
388
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,835
A glass of water, please.
389
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,238
Merde!
390
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,475
Who was that? - A regular.
391
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,194
He behaves like a peasant.
392
00:37:36,720 --> 00:37:39,314
It's kind of you to see me home -
393
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,114
but this is nowhere near
where I live.
394
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,195
Would that you lived in Moscow -
395
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,790
that I might have your company
that much longer.
396
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:53,876
That's a little too far.
397
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,668
We could take the boulevard.
398
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,350
Fancy that...
399
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,554
We have arrived by chance
where I live.
400
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,995
Wouldn't you like to come up
and meet my dog?
401
00:38:12,240 --> 00:38:14,993
Very well, but just for a moment.
402
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:16,918
I'll make some coffee.
403
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:21,438
In the meanwhile, you may view
the city from my picture window.
404
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:29,472
They are dead.
405
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:33,992
Had I known that, I'd have
bought some made of plastic.
406
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,878
What's its name? - Baudelaire.
407
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,830
I'm out of coffee -
408
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:51,991
but I'll make some soup.
409
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,074
May I kiss your hand?
410
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:56,916
You are fast...
411
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,953
The sooner
to reach the goal.
412
00:40:41,240 --> 00:40:42,992
How much is this?
413
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,270
One hundred francs.
414
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,431
Fifty.
415
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,589
All right, fifty, for you.
416
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,276
Do you want this?
417
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,914
I live with two other girls.
418
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:25,716
They have a mutual male friend
they're constantly fighting over.
419
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:27,798
I don't understand them...
420
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,434
The man is stupid, ugly -
421
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:32,511
and married besides.
422
00:42:32,720 --> 00:42:35,871
Uglier than I am?
- There's no comparison...
423
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:39,709
Next to him, you're a Lino Ventura.
- Who's he?
424
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:43,595
An Italian movie star.
You don't know him? - No.
425
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,951
Forget him.
Let's talk about me...
426
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,833
Why not -
427
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,190
move in with me?
428
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,990
I'm against marriage in principle -
429
00:42:56,240 --> 00:42:59,277
but we could make an exception.
430
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:04,110
You stop working,
we can live off my paintings.
431
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,274
What would I do then?
432
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,156
Walk Baudelaire -
433
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,033
clean, that sort of thing...
434
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,232
Are you serious? - No...
435
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:21,468
I'll clean and you can
look out the window at the park.
436
00:43:21,720 --> 00:43:24,280
In the evenings
we'll go to the opera.
437
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,674
My wallet has been stolen.
438
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:48,430
Do you have any money?
439
00:43:48,720 --> 00:43:50,836
Just a few francs.
440
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,076
Your passport!
441
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,353
Listen, how much was the check?
442
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,835
Four hundred and twenty.
443
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,918
Will you permit me to pay it?
444
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,476
You figure on getting your money
from that bum?
445
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:52,557
It makes no difference.
446
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,718
Then as far as we are concerned,
the matter is settled.
447
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,276
I have to go now...
448
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,474
My shift begins at nine.
449
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,758
I have to wait for my passport.
450
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,799
I'll be at your place
tomorrow evening.
451
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,151
I'll be waiting.
452
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,437
Come with me.
453
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,471
Why?
454
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,274
Your papers are not in order.
455
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,273
You've resided in France
for three years without a visa, -
456
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,233
a residence or work permit.
457
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,878
You claim to have come by rail
from Spain.
458
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,275
But you choose not to talk.
459
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,600
There's nothing else to tell.
460
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,875
You will spend the night here.
461
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:17,112
We will decide your fate
in the morning.
462
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:24,354
Can I make a call? My dog
is home alone. - In the morning.
463
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:11,590
You are to be immediately
deported to Albania.
464
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,234
The flight leaves in two hours.
465
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,079
If you are found
within France's borders -
466
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,077
without the required papers -
467
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,955
it will mean
a six-month jail sentence.
468
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:26,273
Can I call now?
469
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,432
Make it fast.
470
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,828
Mimi hasn't arrived yet.
471
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,550
I don't know.
472
00:47:41,720 --> 00:47:44,837
Try again in a couple of hours.
473
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:49,916
There was a call for you just now.
474
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,111
Who? - Didn't say.
475
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,197
Set out a coffee for me.
476
00:48:03,240 --> 00:48:04,798
Listen -
477
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,435
I'm being deported.
478
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:11,155
Will you look after Baudelaire
and my paintings?
479
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:14,436
I won't be coming back.
480
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,191
I'll wind up in jail -
481
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:21,278
if I do. You understand?
482
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,636
Good-bye, Rodolfo.
483
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:33,432
A Suze.
- Problems?
484
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:35,596
No. Thirst.
485
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:10,676
What do you think?
486
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:12,472
1,800 francs.
487
00:49:12,720 --> 00:49:18,078
Only thirty thousand on the meter.
It has brakes and all.
488
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:21,478
Great.
489
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:23,591
Are you free this evening?
490
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,792
What's bothering you?
You don't seem enthusiastic.
491
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:30,231
Rodolfo's been deported.
No papers.
492
00:49:30,720 --> 00:49:33,234
Merde.
- I'll get Baudelaire.
493
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:36,796
Let's meet there tonight and
haul the paintings to your place.
494
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:38,592
Right.
495
00:50:20,720 --> 00:50:22,438
Looking for Rodolfo?
496
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:26,428
Yes, I am. We were supposed
to meet... Where is he?
497
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:30,117
He's been deported.
He was in the country illegally.
498
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:32,550
When? - This afternoon.
499
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:34,910
Is he... is he coming back?
500
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:37,198
I don't know.
501
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:41,953
I must go.
Shut the door when you leave.
502
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,832
SPRING
503
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,113
Hello, Musette. How's it going?
504
00:52:09,720 --> 00:52:11,711
What does it look like?
505
00:52:13,720 --> 00:52:17,190
How many today? The magazine
must go to press by Friday.
506
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:20,756
Just one,
but a full page. From Printemps.
507
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,758
I know.
They called and cancelled it.
508
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:28,232
Coffee originated in Arabia,
where it was discovered by a goat.
509
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:32,479
Balzac drank
seventy cups of it a day.
510
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:34,995
What do you need the ladder for?
511
00:52:36,240 --> 00:52:38,993
It is the link between
me and my love.
512
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:41,230
Have you read Shakespeare?
513
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:44,238
Of course.
He was a great philosopher.
514
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:47,398
Do you remember
"Romeo and Juliet"?
515
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:50,031
Do I ever...
516
00:52:50,240 --> 00:52:52,879
"It was the nightingale
and not the lark...
517
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:56,595
That pierced the fearful hollow
of thine ear..."
518
00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:59,076
Do you not understand?
519
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:02,113
I've met the daughter
of a good family -
520
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:06,751
but for some reason
her father cannot stand me.
521
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:11,958
The girl's name is Juliet
and her room has a balcony.
522
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,119
I came to borrow the bird -
523
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:18,995
to wake me in the morning
before the old man rises.
524
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:21,717
I would be obliged -
525
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:25,754
if from now on
you would call me Romeo Montague.
526
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:29,195
How do you like my plan?
527
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:34,671
Girdle of Iris, hello.
528
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:38,949
It's for you, Marcel, from abroad.
529
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:45,956
Right...
530
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:48,791
Where?
531
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:51,516
What time?
532
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:59,232
Forget about Juliet,
we've got to go. - Where?
533
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:02,113
To the border.
I'll explain on the way.
534
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:07,559
Let me have a few hundred.
- There isn't any.
535
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:09,478
Where has it all gone?
536
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,240
To the printer,
to ransom the magazine.
537
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:14,192
You could have let them keep it.
538
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:16,709
We need a photo for the cover.
539
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:28,118
Hold still.
540
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:28,231
There he is...
541
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:03,795
Let's get going
so we can make Paris morning.
542
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:00,831
When is Mimi in? - Mimi?
543
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:04,555
She's not here any more. But they
stop by almost every evening.
544
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:09,675
They who? - Mimi and Francis,
her boyfriend. Why do you ask?
545
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:12,275
I'm an old friend.
546
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:02,993
Someone's been asking for you.
- Who?
547
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:06,078
Some old friend.
He's sitting over there.
548
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:32,718
I believe that "The Crossing
of the Red Sea" is finished.
549
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:35,271
I feel empty.
550
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:39,075
If you get it sold,
we can pay the rent.
551
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:42,672
Perhaps you could
come down on the price. - No.
552
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:45,515
I will not sell it for less than -
553
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:47,757
two hundred francs.
554
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:52,556
I've already put over ten thousand
francs' worth of paint into it.
555
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:55,433
What if the landlord
calls the police?
556
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:58,200
You still don't have
a residence permit.
557
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:01,717
Come in.
558
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:17,597
What a surprise...
559
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:23,354
...offer our guest a glass of water.
560
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:29,392
To what do I owe this honor?
561
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:31,636
I was so inspired by your portrait -
562
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:34,354
that I have decided
to become a collector.
563
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:37,358
I am now in need of
a relatively large painting -
564
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:39,596
and you immediately sprang to mind.
565
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:42,553
You are in luck.
I have just completed this -
566
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:45,957
and intend to
send it off in the morning -
567
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:49,988
with some other works
to an exhibition in New York.
568
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:56,117
But, if you would care to make
an offer... As an old customer...
569
01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:00,509
The work pleases me greatly.
570
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:03,075
I'll pay a thousand francs for it.
571
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:06,230
You're joking.
- 1,200.
572
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:08,829
2,000. - 1,400.
573
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:12,396
1, 700. - 1,500...
574
01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:17,072
and two opera tickets
for this evening.
575
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:23,318
Opera is a dying art form,
but all right.
576
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:44,950
Go and pay the rent
and then get dressed.
577
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:48,317
You can go to the opera
with Musette.
578
01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:55,234
I'll wait outside.
579
01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:58,478
I have to talk to Marcel.
580
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:53,797
The poor girls -
581
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,878
they are not
made for a life like this.
582
01:03:57,600 --> 01:04:00,797
Being men, and therefore stronger
in every respect -
583
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:03,514
we make child's play
of all misfortune.
584
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:05,631
Nor do we become depressed -
585
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:09,230
if our clothing isn't always neat.
586
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:12,000
But it's different for the women.
587
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:15,039
Even the slightest garment
brings them joy, -
588
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:18,232
nor should this be denied them.
Secondly -
589
01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:23,150
art and literature have been
in great demand of late -
590
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:24,958
and -
591
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:29,756
we are at present earning
nearly as much as porters.
592
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:31,871
This is true.
593
01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:35,231
Works of art
are selling like pancakes.
594
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:36,998
So it is agreed.
595
01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:40,994
Tomorrow we take the girls shopping,
indulging their female whims.
596
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:44,272
Sunday we will have a picnic
in the countryside.
597
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:46,513
And what about me?
598
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:49,393
You have two days
to find yourself a companion.
599
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:52,990
Who's to blame if your appearance
sparks no female interest?
600
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:56,272
If you are unsuccessful,
you may come along -
601
01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:58,516
as our chauffeur.
602
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:02,274
Monsieur, there's a call for you -
603
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:04,351
in the kitchen.
604
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:06,278
Madame -
605
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:09,199
your eyes are like two full moons.
606
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:25,990
I hope their purchases
will not exceed 600 francs.
607
01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:51,116
And never come back.
608
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:55,036
They didn't like it?
609
01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:57,597
The louts...
610
01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:00,189
They are trying to crush me -
611
01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:02,834
to get me to break up my brushes -
612
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:05,474
to jump out of the window.
613
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:11,398
Let's go and borrow some money
from Marcel -
614
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:13,875
and then go out to eat.
615
01:08:29,480 --> 01:08:31,994
I gave you -
616
01:08:32,480 --> 01:08:34,311
a cash advance.
617
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:39,199
I want it back in two days exactly.
618
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:42,551
Not three, not five, but two days.
619
01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:46,350
Good luck.
620
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:48,997
Good-bye.
621
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:07,358
What is this all about?
622
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:11,030
He's mad that I serialized my play.
He claims it didn't fit -
623
01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:15,631
the magazine's line. That readers
complained. What readers?
624
01:09:16,200 --> 01:09:19,351
Besides, as editor-in-chief,
I exemplified policy.
625
01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:21,949
He was merely the publisher.
Capitalist.
626
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:24,754
I'm hungry.
- So am I.
627
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:28,873
Come and eat at my place.
I happen to have some funds.
628
01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:30,593
While we're at it -
629
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:33,997
I can perform
my latest composition for you.
630
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:04,189
I'm going to leave Marcel.
631
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:07,312
When?
632
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:09,431
This evening.
633
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:11,996
I'm already packed.
634
01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:16,359
Does he know?
635
01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:20,674
I haven't been able to tell him.
636
01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:24,990
I'm going back to Strasbourg.
637
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:27,230
There's this man there, a farmer -
638
01:12:27,440 --> 01:12:28,953
not very pretty, but -
639
01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:32,357
sweet and dependable.
640
01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:36,036
Why?
641
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:39,310
He doesn't need me.
642
01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:44,710
All he loves is his books.
643
01:12:45,560 --> 01:12:49,269
I pawned my ring yesterday
to get the rent.
644
01:12:49,480 --> 01:12:53,678
I left the money on the table.
When I came back he'd taken it -
645
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:56,633
and spent it all
on first-edition Balzacs.
646
01:12:56,840 --> 01:12:58,876
Poor Marcel.
647
01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:03,469
He'll forget me in a week.
648
01:13:05,440 --> 01:13:08,477
Or in any case faster
than I'll forget him.
649
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:13,836
Men are like that.
650
01:13:14,920 --> 01:13:17,992
See me to the station?
- Of course.
651
01:13:18,160 --> 01:13:19,957
I'll miss you.
652
01:13:20,160 --> 01:13:21,957
Come and visit.
653
01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:25,709
I'll send you the fare.
The man is wealthy.
654
01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:28,195
You can count on it.
655
01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:30,789
Write to me care of poste restante.
656
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:33,230
Why there?
657
01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:36,236
I don't know.
658
01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:41,837
How's it going, Mimi? - Fine.
659
01:14:42,240 --> 01:14:44,674
Can I give you a ride?
660
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:47,239
Home.
661
01:14:47,440 --> 01:14:49,032
You may.
662
01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:09,872
Yes, darling.
663
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:12,555
I've found a place to work.
664
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:15,716
You don't need to...
665
01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:19,191
I can't go on living like this,
never having any money.
666
01:15:19,400 --> 01:15:22,073
I can't breathe,
as if I were suffocating.
667
01:15:22,280 --> 01:15:24,475
I'll open the window.
668
01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:26,438
That won't help...
669
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:28,835
Besides, it's already cold in here.
670
01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:32,598
Shall I light a fire in the stove?
671
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:36,353
There's no wood or coal.
672
01:15:46,600 --> 01:15:48,750
Some old poems of mine...
673
01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:52,357
I thought I'd publish a collection -
674
01:15:52,760 --> 01:15:54,716
someday.
675
01:16:15,640 --> 01:16:18,234
Al least they'll -
676
01:16:18,520 --> 01:16:20,670
provide some heat.
677
01:16:23,200 --> 01:16:25,395
I'm going for a little walk.
678
01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:30,630
Don't be long.
679
01:18:05,040 --> 01:18:08,396
Good evening, Rodolfo.
- Good evening, Mimi.
680
01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:11,876
I love you, you know that -
681
01:18:12,080 --> 01:18:14,150
but life is difficult.
682
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:17,239
Yes -
683
01:18:17,440 --> 01:18:19,271
I understand.
684
01:19:46,440 --> 01:19:49,432
AUTUMN
685
01:20:21,320 --> 01:20:22,878
What?
686
01:20:23,160 --> 01:20:24,798
Nothing.
687
01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:43,438
It's great, isn't it?
688
01:20:47,520 --> 01:20:49,078
The voice of the people -
689
01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:51,350
is the voice of God.
690
01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:01,911
That -
691
01:21:02,120 --> 01:21:04,918
is known as turkey
stuffed with truffles.
692
01:21:05,200 --> 01:21:07,714
What about that leg of lamb?
What color!
693
01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:10,195
Lamb is the favorite food
of the gods -
694
01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:13,597
and also my godmother's,
Madame Chandelier.
695
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:18,394
And what about those trouts?
They are superb swimmers.
696
01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:20,915
They climb rapids as easily -
697
01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:24,192
as we would accept
a dinner invitation this evening.
698
01:21:24,400 --> 01:21:27,119
Those fruit are known
as pineapples.
699
01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:30,995
I nearly ate one once.
700
01:21:31,680 --> 01:21:36,470
Speaking of fruits, I wouldn't
say no to that pheasant there.
701
01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:39,393
Why this profusion of viands?
702
01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:41,518
You do not know?
703
01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:46,072
Today is All Saints' Day.
The great family feast.
704
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:49,552
Care to spend the evening with me?
705
01:21:50,440 --> 01:21:52,032
No money.
706
01:21:52,240 --> 01:21:54,435
How much have you got?
707
01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:36,952
I don't understand.
I've lost my appetite.
708
01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:40,917
The same here.
709
01:22:43,840 --> 01:22:45,478
I can see -
710
01:22:45,680 --> 01:22:49,832
the phantom of the past
sits at this table.
711
01:22:50,440 --> 01:22:55,070
But if you intend
to waste away to nothing -
712
01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:58,556
you may as well do it
on a full stomach.
713
01:23:12,640 --> 01:23:14,870
Am I disturbing you?
714
01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:17,597
Come in.
715
01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:29,628
I'm so cold.
716
01:23:30,200 --> 01:23:32,668
I happened to be passing by -
717
01:23:32,880 --> 01:23:35,519
and saw the light in the window...
718
01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:39,632
I lost my apartment a week ago -
719
01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:43,071
and I've been wandering
the streets ever since.
720
01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:45,510
I'm an artists' model these days -
721
01:23:45,720 --> 01:23:48,678
but it doesn't pay very well.
722
01:23:49,040 --> 01:23:51,918
I only show my head and hands.
723
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:56,639
I've been promised
some wages tomorrow.
724
01:23:57,520 --> 01:24:00,398
Then I'll move back
to my apartment.
725
01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:11,229
Where are you going?
- To get some tobacco.
726
01:24:11,440 --> 01:24:12,998
In Havana...
727
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:17,751
We'll be back tomorrow sure as
arrows loosed from a steady hand.
728
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:32,278
Where have you been?
729
01:24:32,480 --> 01:24:35,153
Don't ask me anything!
730
01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:38,672
Just let me sit here by your side.
731
01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:41,230
It's so warm here.
732
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:46,276
I'll stay with you until tomorrow.
Do you want me to?
733
01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:49,199
It's going to be very cold here.
734
01:24:49,440 --> 01:24:51,351
That's good -
735
01:24:51,560 --> 01:24:54,233
then it will be like it was.
736
01:24:55,320 --> 01:24:57,550
I'll clear the table.
737
01:25:01,480 --> 01:25:03,835
The warmth has made me dizzy.
738
01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:06,196
I can't stand up.
739
01:25:12,360 --> 01:25:14,635
You have fever.
740
01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:18,031
I'll help you to bed.
741
01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:16,275
I'm going to get a doctor
with Schaunard.
742
01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:19,438
You stay here
and keep Mimi company.
743
01:26:38,720 --> 01:26:41,314
I've been awake all the time.
744
01:26:42,040 --> 01:26:44,076
Rodolfo still loves me.
745
01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:45,998
And you?
746
01:26:46,200 --> 01:26:48,634
I've never stopped loving him.
747
01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:50,358
Then all is well.
748
01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:51,913
No -
749
01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:54,753
I'm going away. Forever.
750
01:26:55,600 --> 01:26:57,556
What do you mean?
751
01:26:58,680 --> 01:27:00,910
I'm going to die soon.
752
01:27:01,480 --> 01:27:03,357
Look...
753
01:27:08,480 --> 01:27:10,710
Do you believe me now?
754
01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:14,713
If I'd stayed quietly here -
755
01:27:14,920 --> 01:27:16,512
with Rodolfo -
756
01:27:16,720 --> 01:27:19,075
everything would be fine now.
757
01:27:20,560 --> 01:27:22,596
Poor Rodolfo...
758
01:27:23,120 --> 01:27:26,635
I'm ending up a burden to him
once again -
759
01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:29,600
but not for long...
760
01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:34,874
The last dress he buys for me
will be white.
761
01:27:35,120 --> 01:27:37,793
Don't say that. You'll get better.
762
01:27:38,040 --> 01:27:40,474
Rodolfo has gone for a doctor.
763
01:27:42,360 --> 01:27:45,557
It took me an hour
to climb the stairs yesterday.
764
01:27:45,760 --> 01:27:48,911
Had there been another woman here -
765
01:27:49,080 --> 01:27:51,913
I would have jumped
out of the window.
766
01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:55,555
Rodolfo knows everything...
767
01:28:32,480 --> 01:28:35,552
She must go to the hospital.
768
01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:37,910
I'll call an ambulance.
769
01:28:40,640 --> 01:28:42,710
I have a car.
770
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:24,154
You must be brave.
771
01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:28,748
I can relieve the pain,
but I can't save her.
772
01:29:29,760 --> 01:29:31,637
She will live -
773
01:29:31,840 --> 01:29:33,831
until spring at the latest.
774
01:29:35,080 --> 01:29:37,389
I can keep her
in the private room but -
775
01:29:37,600 --> 01:29:39,955
I must inform you -
776
01:29:40,240 --> 01:29:44,518
although it may seem cruel,
that it is very expensive.
777
01:29:48,360 --> 01:29:50,476
I'll get the money.
778
01:30:10,640 --> 01:30:13,154
Who painted this, Becker?
779
01:31:49,040 --> 01:31:51,110
Open the curtains.
780
01:31:53,320 --> 01:31:54,958
Spring is here -
781
01:31:55,160 --> 01:31:57,549
and I want to look out.
782
01:32:15,240 --> 01:32:18,038
It's so grey indoors.
783
01:32:20,800 --> 01:32:23,712
Why don't you go
and pick me some flowers?
784
01:34:50,840 --> 01:34:52,432
She is dead.
785
01:34:55,040 --> 01:34:56,678
Shall we come with you?
786
01:34:56,880 --> 01:34:58,871
No -
787
01:34:59,080 --> 01:35:01,389
I need to be alone.
