Ladies and gentlemen, we have just arrived at Paris Airport in Charles de

Gaulle.

You've never heard it before. Maybe you'll never hear it again.

So let's enjoy it right now. It's an unprecedented song. It's called La

Noyée.

He was a

Thank you.

You sing the figure in your happy

dress of fear of being

disfigured and shame and

regrets.

You are nothing more than a poor stray dog.

Thank you.

I have

the

feeling each time you sit into the back of this car, that this poor thing is

turning itself into a hearse.

I was not very nice, right?

I'm sorry about that.

Well, you're in Paris. You're supposed to have fun.

I know, I know.

I don't like Paris very much anymore.

I should have brought you flowers.

Why? I don't know.

Just to, you know, lighten up your face.

Oh.

My life.

Beautiful mess.

I'm not doing anything.

I do that every time I come here.

What do you mean? You're in Paris. You must be doing something.

Nothing. That's just what it feels.

What?

What's going on?

I ate dinner by myself.

That's what I did.

An expensive cup of noodles.

If I want to start a fight, come be my guest.

I don't want to fight. I'm tired.

What do you mean?

I do nothing every time I come here. You know that.

Hello. You sound horrible.

What have you been doing? Having a great time?

Yeah, Dave. I partied all night last night.

All right. Great.

I don't know. What do you want me to say?

Your phone's off.

Because I'm tired.

I just turned it off.

I don't think this is what they had it hard in mind when they asked for more

than one month.

I understand.

Wait, just a minute.

What?

Wait. I don't know.

Dead patients.

Says, uh... Says what, exactly?

Dead Pigeons say, um... Oui?

Dead Pigeons says... Spring fever.

Okay, j'ai compris.

But... Conde Nast is asking you to take, je sais pas moi, wonderful

destination in France.

Not.

Dead pigeons.

But he was dead in the Montmartre, in the park.

Montmartre, ah oui, d'accord.

I understand.

I get it.

But they jumped.

Qu'est-ce qui se passe?

Nothing.

Ecoute, enlève tes lunettes, s'il te plaît, et respire la lumière.

Retourne à Montmartre.

Like a pigeon in a pigeon.

And a pigeon and a... frog.

A pigeon and a... eagle.

A pigeon and a... Ellie, please stop.

Pense-t-il rouge ou pense-t-il rose?

Pense-t-il leur plaie?

Jolie dame dans le tram, jolie parapluie.

Êtes-vous déjà une madame ou bien une petite fille?

Pense-t-il rouge ou pense-t-il rose?

Pense-t-il rouge ou pense-t-il rose?

Pense-t-il rouge ou pense-t-il rose ou pense-t-il leur fleur?

I'm sorry, I have to get to the meeting.

Call me, okay? Yeah.

And how did you get started as a photographer?

I had an affair with another girl, you know, and she pushed me to be an

assistant, you know, because she was a young actress.

And then I became a photographer, you know, taking pictures.

And you loved it?

Yeah, I loved her.

What have you been doing these last eight years?

Looking for something.

I made some walls and a few small doors.

And I'm sneaking.

And I may see the sky again because I'm looking out.

Mainly taking the time to enjoy some very sharp and...

Small moments.

Café?

Do you like Paris?

Do I like Paris?

Do you like Paris?

I liked Paris.

But it's, you know, it's...

Just got home.

About to eat dinner myself.

Frozen food.

Sophia, what the hell is going on?

I think I was in an accident.

What do you mean? Are you hurt?

No.

No, I'm fine.

I'm just... I just feel a little bit out of it.

Yeah, but it's Paris, so you know.

Guess it was bound to happen.

What was? An accident.

Mm-hmm. Why don't you just go? You like talking.

Wow, that was quick.

Yeah.

I have an idea. I'm going to leave Paris.

I have to.

I'm going to take pictures outside of

Paris.

I've got to leave Paris.

Eve, respect love.

Let love come.

Okay? Let yourself be carried.

Wait.

You have to respect love.

You have to show yourself.

You know, it's not love that broke your heart. It's stupid to believe in the

same thing.

It's just your ego.

So now, you take what's coming.

Okay?

Come on, go on.

You're the only responsible.

Thank you.

How long are you in town for?

A couple days.

Are you okay?

It was inevitable, wasn't it?

I guess the earth's round, right?

It's really funny.

Eventually you run away long enough you're going to bump into it again.

That's funny.

I know.

I think if it wasn't for gravity, I would have fell off the face of the

earth.

I didn't think you were going to call.

I'm glad you did.

It's crazy. There's so many questions I want to ask you. I don't know if I can.

I know.

I don't know if I want to know any of the answers to you.

You know?

That is some seriously bad territory, huh?

Did you ever think this would happen?

How many times have you been in Paris?

I've been here... I'm counting,

because I come like six times a year. Yeah.

And I don't know my times tables.

So I'm figuring 35 times, maybe.

Six times eight, 48.

48 times.

You're nervous.

You only bite your nails when you're nervous.

The Tabasco never worked.

I started liking Tabasco after that.

Everything's been so perfect. Yeah, it's great. Thank you.

Would you like a one, sir? I'll probably have the whole bottle by the time the

night's over.

You're still writing?

Yeah.

Just like it's other people's words.

Just try to make them sound pretty.

Are you still taking photos of beautiful girls?

No.

No.

Not anymore.

Oh, please don't take... Tell me that that gets old.

It doesn't. I got old. You're not old.

I'm losing my eyesight.

That's what they told me.

What are you talking about? I'm not seeing what they wanted to see.

The editors, magazines. What are you seeing?

You. Pieces of you and everything.

You and everything.

Pieces of you. Your eyes, your nose, your mouth.

And now I just shoot things.

What are you talking about things? What is that?

Bridges. Sky?

Sky, yeah.

Fucking walls?

Yeah, walls.

What? Things. I shoot things.

Things that have no eyeballs.

Things that don't have blood.

Things that don't have a heartbeat.

Things.

I've been rendered to shooting things.

I'm around.

This is what you get.

You okay?

Uh-huh.

What are we doing?

We're talking.

Just talking.

Listen.

When are you leaving?

It's mom.

If you take the car, you stop in Lyon. It's amazing, even for the food.

Then you stay in Avignon.

Avignon is really amazing.

You'll see they have this, like, theater festival.

You really should. You're going to love it.

And then Saint-Tropez. Go just for fun to Saint-Tropez.

We are here in Paris.

But you should stop in Nice. It's amazing, too. You're going to love it.

And then take the car, and you go all the way along the coast.

You're going to see all the buildings, the houses.

It's still like French Riviera. You're going to love it.

First place you should go is really Deauville. Two hours. You're going to

love it. You stay one or two nights at the hotel Normandy. And after,

this is going to be like a real road trip to the deep front.

You ready for it? I'm sure you're going to find what you're looking for.

Yeah, I'm going to the airport right now.

I'll be home in a minute.

Bye.

Jesus. So where are we going?

To hell.

Okay,

but before that.

I need to get my itinerary.

How about this? Whoa, you're kidding me right now, right? I know, but just hold

on. What are you freaking doing?

He's a photographer.

Who is he?

No, I don't know his name.

You don't know his name?

Sophia? Yeah, I just gotta follow him around for a couple of days.

Great. Sophia, call me later.

Okay.

Alright. I don't need no one to pick you up.

Talk to you.

Bye. Okay, bye.

How'd it go?

It's okay, for now.

You?

She's in bed at 8.

Turns out the light's by 9.

You make it sound like prison.

You said it, not me.

Let's enjoy our freedom while we can.

You make it sound so easy. What? You know. This?

Yeah.

Come

on.

all right come on this way there's like a dead bear over there

I love you. I love you.

What are you seeing when you look through that thing?

You're really gonna interview me.

No, I mean it's not like an interview. It's just like a question, you know, I

mean Put your head down.

I mean, what are you looking at?

I don't know, you know find the focus try and find the frame and you get a

feeling you know Between those two things I don't know

I just take pictures

So much for being an honest woman.

Shit. What?

You want to stop? No.

Are you sure?

No.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

What? We can stop. We don't have to do this.

Fucking wood floor, huh?

So crazy.

It was just like... I don't know, I was hoping that I would never see you again,

you know? And then wanting to see you every morning I woke up.

If that makes any sense.

There's nothing else, Buzz.

I know.

But you just have to go with it.

Because you can sit here and just think and think and think and think.

I woke up this morning and I was just racking my brain.

Thinking about all the moments we had.

All the moments that we didn't have.

I was just like walking.

Just going through the motions.

What do you mean?

Just little things.

I was always wondering what you were doing.

Simple things.

Grocery shopping.

If you're buying the same food.

To Christmases.

You're so vacant.

It's like I was walking through someone else's Christmas.

I wasn't a part of anything.

Then you think it all added up to this.

you think all the moments and everything every twist and turn

every road even if you are lost

everything every twist and turn

was just a straight line right back to you it had to be beautiful

It's like I keep trying to find a word to put to it, and I can't.

It's like they just ground my feelings.

I know.

Let's just stop thinking.

Can I ask you a question?

It depends what it is.

Um, it's a personal category.

Exclusively allocated to you. Okay.

Wasn't my name here before?

Yeah, it was.

It was? Mm-hmm. It had to evolve.

So you turned me into a wolf?

Well, look, it wasn't ideal with your name on my arm.

I was trying to move on.

I had two options in the tattoo parlor. It could have been a frog. Mm-hmm. Or a

medieval dragon.

Yeah, I know, but a frog doesn't imply that you thought that I was a bitch.

Really? Yeah.

Only you could draw that short line to that.

I wasn't even thinking that. I don't think it.

But the Midgetville dragon was huge.

And? And the flames were like all the way to my fingertips.

Would you like me to have a sleeve?

That'd be hot.

Really? Mm-hmm. It was only like 50 bucks.

Like on the boardwalk.

I was pissed off.

Why? I was like, give me that wolf.

Yeah? Yeah.

Like he howled at the moon.

That's cool. They're loyal wolves are, you know?

Like burned on him. Yeah.

I put my stamp on him.

He's a good looking wolf.

I like him.

Okay, well you owe me one then.

This resemblance is not fortuitous And in this afternoon here

It is indeed of us, of you

Somewhere between five and eight

In our silences, I take advantage of it

I remember the great A

Et c'est comme une partie gratuite Quand toi tu t'approches de moi

Toute ressemblance n'est pas fortuite On

s'amourache et puis on se frite Toute ressemblance n'est pas fortuite

On s'attache et puis on se quitte

Hello, I'm looking for my husband.

Do you know where he's at?

I don't know where your husband is. You're his agent. You should know where

he is.

Is it an agency?

No, I need to speak with him.

I look at his photos.

I have them for the past 15 years.

And when I want to say something, I tell him, good or bad.

I need to speak with him.

If I was his mother, I would be very happy.

He looks happy.

If I was his wife, I would be very concerned.

Eight hooks.

Photographs of dead pigeons.

Well, you're neither.

Hello?

I think that we should... Hmm? We should

what? You know.

Rob a bank?

No.

I mean,

let's just do this. Let's just be together.

What are you thinking?

You know what?

So then, let's just do it.

Look, I know it's not going to be easy, but look at us now.

I don't want to give this up.

So how can you walk away from this again?

I couldn't even have tried. So then...

29 pearls in your kiss, a singing smile, coffee smell,

light like skin, you're flaming me.

29 pearls in your kiss, a singing smile, coffee smell.

Just do that.

Nothing. What's wrong with that? Nothing. It's awesome.

Yeah, exactly. I love being lost. It makes my day.

We're fucking wasted.

Come on.

We're gonna walk over. We're gonna walk this way.

I think this is our hotel.

Wait.

Who's this?

This is it, right?

I don't know if this is it.

Shit.

The number of the beast. Come on.

You're gonna be really bad.

Wait,

wait, wait. I just touched on the snail, which is food.

Where?

Right there.

I'm so sorry!

I'm so sorry!

It's midnight.

Where have you been?

Huh? Your agent doesn't even know where you are. It wasn't very nice.

You sure you're alright? You keep asking the same questions and saying the same

things.

Oh, I bet you didn't want to go to the hospital. No, I'm okay.

No, I'm nervous.

Alright.

That's the draw.

Alright.

Alright.

What was that? It was my hangover. That's what that was.

It was so bright and fucking cheery this morning.

Good God.

What happened?

She never stood a chance.

Why?

I never gave her one.

Because of us?

Because of us.

Yeah.

You.

I was a wreck.

I was a mess. She's standing there.

The smoke clears.

She's there.

What did she do?

Really?

Sophia, really?

Do you really?

What do you want to know?

I'm going to find out sooner or later.

She's an artist.

A painter.

You're both artists.

Yeah.

I'm married myself.

One huge domestic battle.

What do you mean? No one likes to cook. Mm-hmm.

I do the dishes.

Yeah. I'll do your dishes.

I'm not implying that. You know, I'm not implying that you wouldn't or you would

or you wouldn't do anything.

Look at me.

Honestly.

It's so crazy. It's like I'm jealous and I don't even have a right to be.

Sophia, look at me.

I know you.

Look.

Look. Come on. No, come on. Sophia, I know you.

Stop. Hey.

Don't ask these questions.

They do us no good.

Not here.

Not right now.

It's crazy, isn't it? It's so crazy.

Life's so strange to me.

Kiss me. I want this jealous rage.

Come on.

Kiss me in your jealous rage.

Are you sure you can handle this? Yes. It might tumble you over. I don't care.

I love your sense of humor.

It's wrong.

Here, focus like right here.

I am? Is it all out of focus?

What? Amazing that you get to turn my camera on.

All of

me?

an image can make or breaking.

Oh, wow, that's pretty. You're just already in focus.

I am?

Love me in focus.

This is crazy. I don't like my camera turning.

Why? Because I don't. You're beautiful.

It's like a gun.

It's like a gun.

You can't be pointing at people.

Do you feel like a rat? Because I do.

She's growling. Let's see if they have refrigerators.

Formage.

I feel like a mouse.

What?

Crap. Are you kidding me? You still have that phobia?

Yeah. You do? You don't just let it go overnight.

Take the fucking... I'll take the fork.

I'm telling you. Take the fucking fork.

Fish?

What?

I found chopsticks.

Great.

Holy shit.

What?

Go. What?

I can't, I can't, I can't. I'm sorry.

Come on. No, I'm sorry. I'm just afraid it's something disgusting. No, it's not.

Just... You think I'd put something disgusting in your mouth?

Hmm? Come on.

Okay, fine. I wouldn't put anything in your mouth that I wouldn't put in mine.

All right?

Close your eyes. Just do this. I just want to be safe.

All right.

Don't bite down.

Don't bite down?

What?

No. I don't want you to choke, so don't bite down. Don't choke?

This is like heart attack time.

Can you do this? I'm completely committed.

I'm completely committed. I'm here.

Open your mouth.

Wider.

Oh, it's chocolate.

Oh, thank you.

What's up?

I'm sorry.

He was the exact opposite of you.

The last thing I wanted was anyone that reminded me of you.

But that was a joke because everything reminded me.

Of you.

Every time I opened up a magazine, the first thing I would do is look at the

credits, see who took the photos.

What's the opposite of me?

He's a carpenter.

Shit.

Okay, start the joke.

There's hope.

Why? The boss's son was a carpenter.

Yeah, well, I don't think that he would sacrifice himself for very much.

Especially something that doesn't benefit him.

Why no babies?

Because he wasn't you.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I'm not going to lie.

It doesn't sound... I'm not thrilled listening to this.

I don't exactly like telling it to you either, but I think if we take this in

small pieces, we'll be able to swallow it.

Yeah.

I can take about Tic Tac size at this point.

Would it make you feel better if I told you I'll turn him into a frog?

How about a toad?

That's a pretty big frog.

I don't know. That fucking tattoo was big.

His name was big.

How the fuck would you tattoo his name on the inside of your thigh?

Because I just wanted to erase you.

Right there? Yeah. That wipes me out? Well, I figured it would help, you know?

But it didn't really.

That's just horrible.

Want to go for a walk?

Yeah.

Let's go for a walk.

Don't let go of my hand.

What do you mean, don't let go of your hand?

All right. Yeah.

This is what they call lover's leave here.

All right? Yeah.

Ready? Yeah. Hey, give me.

You okay?

Yeah. You can do this? Yes. Okay. This is lover's leave. Yeah. All right?

You're really nervous. No, I'm fine.

I'm fine. I'm here.

Okay, you see that one right there?

Oh, my God.

Do you see the one that's right underneath the cliff?

Can you see it?

Yeah, but that's why you have to jump out.

You don't jump down. Jump out.

There's so many rocks down there.

That big one is the one to avoid.

If you hold hands, it's in the water.

You can't do that.

I'm not going to let your hand go.

Yeah, now I'm in central pay.

That's good.

It's real pretty.

That's a very good sign you are doing what I asked you to.

There you

go. Get a little gas.

Get a little gas. Just a little gas.

Okay, okay.

Turn you on a little bit. It's so cool.

I dreamt that the bar was empty and then I was thirsty.

Kick it up halfway. Up. Yeah.

Like that? There you go. See?

That means it's neutral.

I love the way that you kiss me. Do you want to learn?

Yeah. Do you? No.

No, I told you.

You don't have it in gear, right?

No. Is it green?

Yeah. Then let the clutch out. Let the clutch out.

Let the clutch out. Let the clutch out? Yeah.

I dreamt that I was in Bali and wanted to write.

I love that you know everything about cars and bikes.

Yeah, gear in first gear.

Yeah. Whoa.

All right? Yeah.

You got it?

Now what do I do? I'm going to tell you to kick it in second gear. I'm going to

push the clutch in.

I swear, I think it's so hot.

I think I want to try it. Okay, so what you want to do is engage the clutch.

Got it.

Engaging clutch.

I love your lips.

As I'm releasing the clutch, I'm going to put gas. But not very much. But I

don't need a lot. No, not a lot at all. So let's start releasing it.

Am I going to be okay with balance?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll catch you.

Okay. Just start releasing. Start releasing.

somewhere. But you make some other stuff.

Where is everybody?

Look at the mall.

Don't. Come on. Don't knock on their doors.

There's zombies here.

Do you know what? Huh? I heard that there's a great bed and breakfast over

here. Really?

Yeah.

Really? No.

Come on.

Where are all the people at?

Destruction. That's my period I'm going through right now.

Don't be knocking on people's doors.

Why? Because there's zombies all over here.

Can you do something for me?

All right, that doesn't work, but that's cool.

It doesn't work at all.

Hurry up. Wait, come on.

Wait.

Am I catching the light?

This is depressing.

It is.

Should we consider shoving these beds together?

Mm-hmm.

I don't really like single bed sex.

Hello? Hey, that's me.

Lola wants to talk to her dad.

Alright, no.

No, it's not a good time.

Don't. Don't.

Don't.

Hi,

sweetheart. Hi, Daddy. Hi.

It's really hot.

Daddy's good.

When are you coming home?

Are we home real soon?

When I was outside and I saw a wreck. Yeah.

I miss you too, sweetheart.

Daddy loves you.

I love you, Dada.

She's beautiful.

Thank you.

She turned eight in March.

She just loves to throw the kid in.

Every time she loses ground.

Every time.

She keeps you there?

She's your heart, no?

Very much so.

You're a good father.

Sometimes.

I don't think I'd be winning any awards for the last few days, though.

I think you judge yourself too nicely.

Taking on my back The

guy

over there

It's like he knows. What do you think he knows?

I don't even know how to answer that question.

You know what?

What? And if they do, what's he thinking?

Like he knows about us.

About what we're doing. They don't know.

He's saying our decisions are true.

He's over there. He's the owner of this like little booth or something.

Where? Can you point?

They were frowning upon us.

He's what?

He's judging us.

Quit.

He's not looking at us. Come on.

No one in that market is looking at you or looking at us. Well, then

what do you call his expression?

Once we expose this.

Once we make it real.

I just don't like people staring at us.

No one in that market is staring at us.

We need a miracle

No matter how many words I use or reuse,

it all ends with the same sentence.

Are you trying to write yourself out of this?

No.

No. This is my heart.

Don't.

It's yours. I'm not protecting it.

Okay.

Love is real.

Real is love.

Love is feeling.

Feeling love.

Love is wanting.

To be loved.

Love is you.

You and me.

Love is knowing.

We can be.

Love is free Free is love

Love is living

Living love

Love is needing

To be loved.

Do you remember when we used to argue we would play?

No.

Where did those brass band mornings go?

And the dreaming over tea?

God only knows, was it so long

ago?

You tried to let me know

You'd seen his face somewhere before

Now you know for sure

That you can call him

heartache

Yes, you can call him

that

You can call him a heartache

You'll never take it back

Once there was spring

inside his eyes

Now there's only autumn winds and

That's good.

I love

you.

Stop right here.

Hello Yves, a young person left this for you this morning.

I don't know why.

So, Sophia, did the trip go well?

Yes, very well.

Your voice sounds much better than when it arrived.

Your voice has a better sound than at the start.

Yes.

It's a pleasure to hear, frankly.

Tell me, you're never late.

But the other time, you didn't come at all.

For what reason?

For what reason? Yes.

You need a reason. You always need a reason.

If you notice you're right without a reason, what would we become?

We would lose the reason. Without a reason, we would lose the reason. That's

what we would become.

But you always need a reason. You need to give meaning to things.

For example, a meaning to your visit.

The reason to be a controller at the airport was to ask for the reason.

The lovers only.
