All language subtitles for Lady of the Camelias (1981) part1

Do you know that Armand
is madly in love with you?

Really?

He loves you.

He really does.

Well, I can only thank you.

Did you hear that, Verville?

You've kept quiet
on the subject.

I've known you
barely a year.

And this gentleman
just 5 minutes.

Back to Armand.

Go and show it to Monsieur Dumas
in his box.

What's wrong?

It's nothing...
it'll go.

- You're unwell?
- It's nothing. Let's dance.

Annette... some water.

Stop the music.

It's nothing.

Stay close by.

I'll join you presently.

Monsieur Dumas, does this woman have to
cough up her lungs

until the fifth act?

No, It's not obligatory.

This unpleasant scenario
only occurs in the fifth act.

As it's new to me,

Excuse me, maestro,
I should ask your help more often.

She wasn't some grand lady,
Mademoiselle.

But she was far superior
to the work she did.

The model for this character
was called Alphonsine Plessis

and she never had such tragic
adventures.

I invented that part.

But she would have loved to
have lived them.

Ok, thank you.

Everybody in position.
Start again.

From the top. Places, please.
Scene Two.

Take it away, Gaston.

Do you know that Armand
is madly in love with you?

- Really?
- He loves you.

Madame, I'm hungry.

Look down.

Look down.

You have beautiful eyelashes.

What did he say to you?

If I see you begging
for alms,

I�ll tell the police.

Let's see.

You did well, Alphonsine.

Bravo!

- It's OK?
- Rain, like gold,

brings back my taste for life.

Is Monsieur Plessis in?

Alphonsine...
is your father there?

He's busy.

You know Madeleine?

Well... he gave her some stuff.

I need some too.

Oh yeah... come on.

Is he sick?

No, he's very well.

These are cough tablets.

Sometimes he gives me some
when there's nothing left to eat.

It cuts your thirst
and your hunger.

You feel really happy.

That's 2 francs.

2 francs.

Let's hope it works.

I�ve already got 5 kids:

3 boys and 2 girls.

When it's that time,
if I say no

my husband beats me.

It should be up to us to decide
when we get rolled over in bed.

Otherwise...

Do you want me
to look down?

Where's your licence, Plessis?

Plessis!

I want to see your licence.

Did you sell Mathilde
a mixture

to bring on her periods?

What's happened to her?

Just hurry up.
Don't ask questions.

This isn't about medications...

can't you read?
- No.

He was asleep.

I sold it to her.
I thought it was rose water.

You and your father
make a good team.

But from now on
we'll be keeping an eye on you.

Tomorrow you'll present yourself
to the sergeant.

And you, my pet,
will be off to the reformatory.

Puts some pants on when you're
sleeping with your daughter!

Quiet! Lie down!

Come in Plessis.

Come through.

Nothing discourages you, Plessis.

- Good morning, Countess.
- You've dared come here.

I�ve turned you out the door
and you've come back anyway.

I haven't come for myself
but for...

Your daughter?

Yes. They want to put her
in the reformatory.

And you don't want that
to happen?

No.

Because they're subjected
to abuse,

made to work,

not given enough to eat?

Yes.

Or because you could
easily lose

the means of ensuring
your livelihood?... Eh?

What went through
your mind?

That by seeing her,
I was going to be moved...

just because we're related?

No! I know neither this tramp,
nor this beggar woman.

I dislike her anyway.

But in a few years
when she's more beautiful,

I won't like her at all.

- Come on...
- Wait!

Me?

My poor sister wanted
to indulge herself

the luxury of an escapade
with a stable boy.

She enjoyed it
for a few months.

But she ate poorly

til the end of her days.

When you taste
the pleasures of the flesh,

you pay a price.

Try not to forget that.

This was your grandmother's,
Alphonsine.

At least her handsome stable boy,

didn't manage to pawn

this pin.

Come on.

Thank you.

Listen.

Monsieur Bernier says you can
stay at his place.

At least that would solve
our immediate problem,

and keep you out of
the reformatory.

And you?

Me?

I�ll come and see you
every day.

When should I go?

Right away.
He's waiting outside.

Off you go.

- It's you, Plessis?
- Come on.

Alphonsine
isn't feeling well.

What's up with her?

She's been complaining
all day.

Then she went to bed.

- Is she asleep?
- I think so.

Maybe it's not
good for her here.

Maybe... I should take her home
with me.

Plessis, what are you after...
raising the price?

She's my daughter.

I can take her back
whenever I like.

I'd like a lamp.

What for?

I wanna go back upstairs.
I wanna lamp.

What's up?

- Tell me.
- No... lemme be.

- You want me to come up with you?
- No thanks.

Don't touch me.

Plessis.

No need to cry or be afraid.
There's no reason.

It happens to all women.

Usually there's a friend
who can explain it.

But since there's only
the two of us...

It happens to all women...
when they become women.

And then it goes away.

And then it comes back.

When it happened to your mother,
she pinned a nice red flower

on her dress.

Like that.

So I knew

and I left her alone.

Then there was a time
when I didn't see the red flower.

9 months later you were born.
You understand now?

Take one...
you'll have sweet dreams.

Look at her...
she's worn red flowers on purpose!

Send her back to Bernier's!

Get out!

Go away!

- Give me my crown!
- You heard... it's shameful!

Send her home!

Chase her out!

Stop ganging up
on an innocent girl!

Without the Christian religion,
what would you be?

You make me ashamed.

And you dare to pray.

The procession is for the
honour of our Lord.

Not to fight over a garland
of red geraniums.

If the boys annoy you,
maybe you're responsible.

Doing what?

You don't know?

And Monsieur Bernier?

You can go to bed.
I�ve not finished.

The kitchen's very tidy.
Good night.

But if you don't want to talk
to Monsieur Bernier,

I don't want to force you.

- Monsieur Bernier...
- Yes?

Well, he makes me undress.

Then he looks at me.

He looks at me.

He almost always ends up
by falling asleep.

He's very rich.

And if he wasn't rich?

He wouldn't give money
to my father, for my company.

Madame Dumesnil said:

"Who sleeps well eats badly. "

I eat well every day.

Don't see what's wrong
with that.

From tonight you won't
go to him anymore.

- You want me to go back to my father?
- Wouldn't you like to?

Yes. I like living with my father.

Other men don't like him

Women run after him
all the way home.

I hide, and I watch them.

I�ll speak to him.
I�ll tell him what you do.

He already knows.

And...?

And nothing.

He carried on doing it.
All he was wearing was socks.

I�d never seen
how a man was made.

Then he beat me,
but we made peace straight away.

Tonight you won't go to Bernier.

You'll stay here
with Delphine.

After... we'll see.

- Coming?
- Yes.

You'll sleep here.

I�ll bring you a mattress
and sheets.

- Delphine!
- Yes?

Alphonsine's sleeping here.

All right.

Scared?

- Is this the book that you
read in church? - Yes

Can you read to me
what it says?

"How beautiful you are,
How beautiful you are

Your hair is like a herd of goats

Your eyes are like doves

Your lips are like scarlet ribbons.

Your cheeks are like
pomegranate skin

"Your breasts are like twin fawns

"grazing among the lilies.

"Your love is more sweet than wine.

"Honey drips from your lips, you have

"honey and milk under your tongue"

Alphonsine.

Alphonsine,
what happened to you?

What happened to you?

- What is it?
- We gotta leave.

- Why?
- The police are coming.

- They're looking for me.
- Let's beat it!

Hurry! Quick!

Quick.

Come on.

- She's a witch.
- They both have to go.

I hate the people here.
And they detest me.

There's got to be
a better place than this.

- What's up?
- I�m hungry... are you?

Cover yourself, Ania.

You going to the fair
at Avalon?

Don't know anything about it.
We aren't down for any special reason.

My daughter was tired
from walking.

So we took the boat.

You're young for a father.

- Where I come from, we start early.
- So it seems.

What's the use of wasting time?
Have a cigar?

What's there in Avalon?

There's a lot of people.

A lot of... hurly-burly.

I�ve always done good business
at the fair.

A bit of a spiel.

Cakes, pastries.

In my travelling kitchen.

I think it dates
from Napoleon.

It serves as home and a shop.

They go crazy
for my candy floss.

It's said to be the best
in the district.

Is there a pharmacy
at Avalon?

Do you need something?

Yes. Certain pills that make life happy,
even when it isn't.

I�ve got better
than that!

- You wanna try?
- Yes.

- Really?
- Yes!

Ania, eat something.

Ania sweetie,
come on... eat!

Here.

You have it.

Thank you.

Don't laugh... it upsets you.

Stop it, darling.

Stop it.

Ania sweetie, calm down,
be sensible.

Over it?

How old are you?

What's your name?

Alphonsine.

"Alphonsine"...

Cover yourself.

As well as the same eyes...

you also have the same first initial
as Ania.

I�m leaving you with him. He's a
good man. You'll learn a trade.

He'll also give you a wage.
Not for the first months... he's given that to me!

I�ve taken the pin.
Don't you worry.

This boy won't bother you,
and he'll take you to Paris.

Goodbye!

Hurry, hurry, ladies and gentlemen.
The last ones!

Get my lollipops!

Get my lollipops!

Running out fast!

Last ones!

A lollipop.

"A lollipop. "

Maxence's delicacies.

They're bright red.

Who wants some?

My delicacies

Would you like one?

Can't you be careful?

It's okay.
We'll fix you up.

You'll see...
it'll go away... right away!

- Still sore?
- A little bit.

You see... my remedy works.

You put them
in boiling sugar?

Those are naturally sweet.

- Who's girl is that?
- Girls don't interest me.

70 francs...
Not bad for 1 day!

That's for you. Your pay.

What if we left
right away?

- "Right away"?
I want to be in Melun tomorrow morning.

You listened behind the door?

I�ll harness the horse.

My grandmother was a countess,
but my grandfather was a groom.

I�ll drive and you take a rest.
But don't try anything!

When my father left,
he said: "He's a good man. "

So?

He added: "You'll see.
He won't bother you. "

Let's hope he stays lost.

All the same,
that's the way it is.

You haven't tried to...

You've never been amorous?

Don't you want me
to talk about it?

For me to fall in love,

I have to be sure
the whole thing's impossible,

that nothing good
will come of it,

and I�ll not be able

to eat or sleep.

When I�m sure
it will be a disaster

I throw myself into it...
and I�m in love.

- And then?
- Then it's better you walk away.

In Paris you'll get a job.

Beware of falling in love
with someone impossible.

Beware of falling in love
at all.

Now you're going
to let me sleep.

Now girls,
no dawdling.

We've got to have 30 pairs
finished by tonight.

It's the lady at her window

she'll be upset
in a thousand years or two

Spin the wool, spin out the days.

Present arms!...
at ease!

Tell us who'll obey you,
pretty zouave? Blonde or brunette?

It's going to his head!

Could you talk about
something else?

They're the things
that inspire us.

If you want us to talk about Virgin Mary,
give us a nun's outfit!

She enjoyed the smell
of a fresh flower

- Are you sure about that?
- Yes.

Are you scared?

No. But I�m most afraid
of finishing up in hospital.

Look.

I gotta get a client...

Otherwise the nursemaid will put my son
on the pavement, this evening.

But you can't...
you're sick.

Who's gonna notice?

In the middle of the night,
up against a wall.

They'll find out later,
and you'll finish up in trouble.

I spend my evenings
at the theatre.

If you want to come,
you'll be welcome there.

Something different...
playing the whore, eh?

Go on... come along.

Day and night.

"Day... and night. "

I wish I could tell you
that I love you.

"I love you. "
Christine.

That enough?

It'll do.

I�m waiting.

I don't often think of you.

But I dream about you.

Even if I don't always remember
what I dreamed of.

"what I dreamed of. "

And I cannot get to sleep.

Not because I�m afraid.

But sad.

When I think of you...

...it's without remorse.

I want to remember

...that love song...

...that you sang to me.

You were wrong
to do what you did.

Not that it was bad.

At least that's what I think.

I finish on that note.

Your very affectionate...

Alphonsine Plessis.

- What's the address?
- Nonant-le-Pin, Orne.

Who is it to?

The priest at
Notre-Dame des Champs.

I give my word
I love but you

Your towel.

Your ladyship.

The younger one's
Professor Martin's wife,

She always misses
when she pisses!

Second on the left is
Count Olympio Aguado,

the Marquis of Las Marismas.
He's kept by women.

The tall fair guy is
Count Ag�nor de Guiche.

The 2 Montjoyeux brothers.

Twins, great hunters of wild boar
and under-age girls.

They're heavily into opium.

Over there are the three richest
virgins in France.

Mademoiselle de Val-Noble!

Quickly! Quickly!

She's an ex milkmaid,
done time in prison...

I never knew her real name.

The poor thing
suffers from colic.

Who are you looking at?

Him? That's Count Perr�gaux.

No one knows
what he likes.

He spends every winter in Algeria.

He's what I�d call
an interesting person.

Everything's in order

for the transfer to the cemetery.

We just need you
to identify the body.

Count Perr�gaux,
is this your wife?

Close the coffin.

No need to whore with soldiers
to supplement our wages.

Ah, it's finished.

You haven't answered me.

Do you want to come
to my place?

That's where I want to be.

Not here.

I enjoyed making love
with you.

- How old are you?
- 21.

Feel 100 most of the time.

Your feet are dirty.

If you don't like girls
with dirty feet,

you shouldn't be looking for them
at Les Halles markets.

Alphonsine!

Sit down.

Is it good?
Can I have some?

Lucky girl!

I believe the young lady
will be staying several days.

Would you like a fire?

This your bedroom?

My mother's.

She lives in the country.

Comes here
maybe once a year.

Do you really like common people,
Agenor?

More than most else.

Provided they stay people.

You've changed me already.

Since I�ve known you,
I�ve been washing my feet.

So I�ve noticed. You don't eat
with your mouth open.

You don't use a knife,
eating fish.

But I�ve done much worse.

I�m learning to write.

Haven't you noticed
I�ve been stealing your small change?

It pays for my teacher.

I saw you'd been
taking my money.

I was happy about it.

Now that I know why,

you'll look smarter, be smarter...

and you'll become a bore.

Life chews you up, Alphonsine.
Life wears you out.

It's more my fault
than yours.

Those women who come to this place
are all decrepit.

Even the very beautiful
and very young ones.

I look at them at my mother's balls,
loaded with gold

staggering under the weight
of their necklaces, on the grand staircase.

Tonight I want to see you
nude.

It will be a vision
of life itself.

Come on.

Come on.

I wanted to present you
to my friends.

Given that sooner or later
I�ll end up in bed with these gentlemen,

that seems fair.

Christian.

See that lady over there?

Ask her if she'll join me.

You shouldn't have had to move.

I should have come to you.

Since the last time I saw you,

your clothes
have become very visible.

That's why you noticed me.

I only saw my daughter's eyes.

I�m surprised
to see you here.

The hotels are full of people
spending their money on amusement.

We follow them.

Where do you live?

In a furnished room.

I have a suite at the hotel,

one I�ve been taking for years,

when I came here before
the death of my daughter.

Now it's too big for me,

too empty.

I�d be delighted
to ask you to stay.

My clothes aren't
too noticeable?

They can be changed.

What else must I change?

I don't want to make
any promises...

nor abuse a man
who I�ll betray.

I�ll be happy
just to have your charming self there

to spend some time there.

When you get bored
you can leave.

Don't tell me anything...

And I won't ask.

Women can do anything...
as long as they know how.

Ah, Your Excellency.

Are you ready?

Just a few touches.
Watch out!

Mademoiselle Alphonsine...
I didn't know if should agree or not.

She wants that your velvet cloak
to be lined with mink

and the gloves with ermine.

Perhaps she should have
asked for your approval.

Do you want to see?

Allow her the pleasure
of opening her treasures.

Good morning, madame.

- I�m here for the showing.
- Of course.

Take this flower.

What'll I do with it?

Give it back to me.

But when?

When it's wilted.

And how soon?

"The flower lives as flowers live... "

for a morning or a night.

I love you.

Say it again.

I love you, I love you!

Go... now.

Margaret, I don't know
what influence you'll have on my life,

but I know there's no other woman
I love more than you.

I�m happy.

One or the other.

Who's the young man
in the doorway?

He's a young man
without a present or a future,

but he has his father's name...
Alexandre Dumas.

Au revoir.

Au revoir, madame.

Who's that?

A whore.

La Plessis.
Count Stackelberg's new pet.

She knows where
the money is.

You still don't know
how to come down a stairway.

What have you decided?

Would you prefer dinner
or the theatre?

Dinner and the theatre.

Do you want me to recite the poem
set by my elocution teacher?

The title is "What have you done?"

You have my heart
I have yours.

A heart for a heart,
joy for joy.

Yours is returned
I have no other

Yours is returned,
mine is lost.

What have you done,
O mighty one?

You want us to continue
our reading?

Yes.

We were up to a passage
that my daughter liked.

She never tired
of hearing it read.

"Oliver, being left to himself
in the undertaker's shop,

"set the lamp down
on a workman's bench,

"and gazed

"timidly about him,

"with a feeling
of awe and dread,

"which many people
a good deal older than he

"will be at no loss
to understand.

"An unfinished coffin

"on black trestles,
which stood in the middle of the shop,

"looked so gloomy
and death-like

"that a cold tremble came over him,
every time his eyes wandered

"in the direction
of the dismal object:

"from which he almost expected
to see some frightful form,

"slowly rear its head,
to drive him mad with terror.

"At that moment, Oliver Twist... "
- Serge.

Yes?

I�ve run out of money.

I know, you gave me
30,000 francs yesterday.

Today I spent 5,000 buying
two Irish horses.

Etienne didn't like driving a carriage
with only one horse.

You're so rich. You know

I don't expect you
to believe me.

How can you believe someone
you pay 50,000 francs

a month...?

You know
I could love you...

or for all the things
that you've given me.

You'll never know.

What are the names
of the horses you bought?

Adorable and Crinito.

You wouldn't have been able
to resist them, either.

Back to the shop...

"Against the wall were ranged,

"a long row of elm boards
cut in the same shape:

"looking in the dim light,
like high-shouldered ghosts

"with their hands in their pockets...."

Serge, I�m very tired.

'Til tomorrow, my friend.

Like this?

Too high.

Let the man bow down.

I am Count Edouard
de Perr�gaux.

I�m sorry Mademoiselle,

He insisted on coming in.

That's alright,
you can go.

You heard what I was saying
to my protector,

...Count Perr�gaux?
- Yes.

I couldn't do otherwise.

It was for you
that I was speaking.

I wanted you to know
that despite his generosity,

I still manage
to build up debts.

That doesn't frighten me.

Your money
won't be spent badly.

Do you know why?

Because I enjoy myself a lot
in bed with them.

That'll be 2 francs.

Thank you, monsieur.

What would you like?
Some angelica ointment...

with linseed meal, for poultices.

- Give me some gauze too.
- Right away.

I�ll fix it for you.

I�m so happy
to know you.

You can't know
how much I love you.

Count...your excellency...
come in please.

Pardon me
for walking ahead of you.

- And Madame?
- I was going to advise you...

Madame left a letter for you.

She decided to consult a big specialist,
and she's left.

Very well Clotilde.

I feel like something hot.

I�ll get it.

Where are we going?

Back to Paris.

But where were we?

In England.
Don't you remember anything?

Wait...yes.

Yes...
there was a landing stage

You carried me
in your arms.

You've been dreaming.
Then...?

We were in a room.

Yes. And afterwards?

Somebody said something to me
I couldn't understand.

He asked you in English:

"Will you take this man

"as your lawful husband?"

Did I say yes?

You said yes.

Countess Perr�gaux.

Are you enjoying seeing
the real Algeria?

No...I'd rather imagine it.

Up until I met you,

I'd spent most of my life
in Algeria.

In a tent in the desert?

There are
very beautiful gardens.

And the sky is almost always blue...

serene... warm.

I like the cold.

I like snow
and grey skies.

I ship out in a few days,
Alphonsine.

You aren't asking me
to go with you?

No, I'm not asking you.

You have obligations

to me.

I know.

I've been your wife,
for several days.

Even if it...
if it seems strange to you,

I'm asking you to leave me...

If you do not want
to follow me,

and let me lead my life
as I've always done,

then I ask you to
let me be free.

But I have many demands.

So you won't
be able to say

you weren't warned.

It's your sincerity
which most won over me.

My handwriting
is still shaky.

But I think the idea
is clear.

"I want to tell you in writing
that you are free.

"I wanted to tell you to your face

"and here I'm repeating it.

"Signed Alphonsine. "

The conditions?

I will only use your title.

You'll continue to lead your life
and I mine.

From now on,

the men who want to show off
at the theatre or the races

with a countess in their arm,
must pay me more.

That's all.

I must find another name.

Countess... Alphonsine Duplessis.

Countess of...
"Alphonsine" doesn't sound right.

Don't you agree?

Need another name...

don't know...

...another name...

Alphonsine...

don't know...

I'll find it...

Countess Marie...
