Biarritz, August 27...

Aren't you sick of winning?

Never. Winning is all I care about.

Conformist! You are stupid.

- What was that? - Nothing.

I don't tell you things anymore.

You like black and pink?

Lousy colors... I should've gotten blue and green.

All colors are O.K.

I think black is tacky.

Anyway, all colors look lousy on me.

Don't you feel old?

If I multiplied my age by 5, I'd be dead.

And I'd have done nothing.

I thought you're never bored alone?

Yeah, but I feel like going out.

Are you nuts? Look at yourself!

Do I look lousy?

You're awful!

Thanks a lot!

You said you'd take me to a disco.

I didn't promise! O.K.?

You said so.

I never promised! Don't bug me!

I wear earphones so that I won't hear you!

I don't want to scream all day.

You two are a pain!

Lousy weather!

I'll help you.

You want to ask me something...

Can I take Lili with me tonight?

She's too young, It's O.K. during the day but not at night.

She's no younger at night then during the day!

And she'll be with me.

Anyway, that's up for your father.

Be nice...

Say thank you. It wasn't easy.

'Cause it was a fisrt. Next time Mom won't bat an eye.

Really!

I'm choking!

Go this way...I want to avoid them. I hate them!

We can't... We gotta say hi.

You're lucky! The rain just stopped.

Gotta make the most of it, kid.

You're going out?

To a disco.

Isn't she too young for a disco?

I wouldn't let my daughter go.

WELCOME TO THE CAMPING

The fucker could have stopped!

Are you nuts?

Gotta try fo a Rolls! Look at him!

Rolls Royce... with your outfit?

If you can't dazzle them, shock'em!

I won't ride in some loser's heap.

No small talk. The bus is better!

Don't hitch!

I didn't wait for you to start hitching!

I've been all over this area, in classy cars!

Cut it out! I'll slug you!

You're wrecking my hairdo!

I know that guy... an easy touch!

I had a date with him.

At least you're on time.

I guess I get in the back.

Maurice... we met bowling... meet Jean-Pierre...

I'm J.P.

Hi. Don't I know you?

I guess so.

Where to?

Anywhere - away from this dump!

Close the door, I can't manage.

Watch out, dummy! Dammit!

I'm sick of it, dammit!

Cut it out!

Stop it, for Christ sakes!

The creep will kill me someday!

He broke my arm once. I told Mom I fell.

I shoulda broken both!

Oh, yeah? You were heartbroken!

You think I cared?

You cried more than I did!

Calm down! You're a big drag!

Can't even hear oneself in the car.

Kids are a pain!

Anyway, where are we going?

To a disco.

That's all I wanna do. So shut up!

Only creeps go to discos at 10:00 P.M.

Listen to her!

Where to?

To Bayonne.

We missed the shortcut.

I've known this area for 15 years...

Bayonne is a drag.

If you don't like it, get out!

Who asked you, fat-face?

Charming girl!

Your Porsche had more pick-up.

You had a Porsche?

Yeah...

... but I like a change.

A car's like a chick. You soon get tired of it...

You want to get rid of it at any price.

You discover the flaws too late.

Turn here. Let's hit the Vet's bar.

I heard so much about it.

Don't split! What's got into you?

You'll be better off without me.

What's the problem? I didn't look at you enough? Is that it?

She's a jerk!

Don't worry. A typical chick-stunt.

You'll find out eventually.

Are you getting in?

What's wrong?

The atmosphere.

Really? Will it be better if we dump you here?

Can I see you again?

Just like an old Romeo...

You're hurting me.

Midnight at the "Opium", O.K.?

How do I get in?

Say I sent you.

O.K., 'cause I got things to do.

Let's hit the Vet's bar.

Hey, creep!

Hold it!

He didn't even tell me his name! Asshole!

Hi, Anne-Marie. My pals want paratrooper outfits.

She almost made Miss France.

Tell him you were runner-up in '56.

Here are your outfits. $150 each.

Don't try them on in here.

Same again, please.

You hear what I said? Stay out of my sight.

Dip your wick 3 times in the same chick, and forget it!

It's better to screw a goat...

At least a goat's civil to you afterwards.

Piece of shit!

Is your sister a piece of shit, too?

I dunno.

Anyway, she's a hell of a tease.

You know why she gets away with it? 'Cause she's a kid.

Make room for ya, honey?

Who needs you?

Are you the queen of England, dog-face?

She's outta her skull!

Are you nuts?

You hitch at night at your age?

Like mosquitoes, it takes DDT to get rid of you.

Don't say you're not 16!

I'm 14 - that's almost 16.

Don't look so glum.

Beat it... little bitch!

For my daughter, Mireille. She collects autographs.

She has all the stars.

For Jacques and Micheline.

Mr. Golovin, please.

I wonder what you want.

I certainly don't want your autograph.

And I wonder why you do it.

It makes them happy.

No, it doesn't. It just proves they met you.

You want a drink?

No, I just want to talk to you.

We can still have a drink?

Did you always know you'd be...

Yes, I was sure that...

Didn't your folks want you to quit?

Well...

They didn't believe in me...

But it was for my own good. They thought I'd fail.

I'm writing a novel. My folks think I'm hopeless.

They love you.

They love you!

They adore me. They say so all the time.

How old are you?

I'm 14.

14 years old!

Are you on vacation?

Yeah, I live in Paris.

Well, "the Greater Paris"... the burbs...

My dad owns a bar.

You go to school?

I'm in 9th grade.

Are you bored?

You bet!

Maybe I'm wrong...

...but you seem shy.

And shy people tend to be proud.

Yep.

I bet you're difficult.

That's what my teachers say...

...that I give them a hard time.

Anyway, they're impossible to please.

Is anyone pleased with you?

My piano teacher.

You have... a boyfriend?

No. I got dumped twice.

Now I'm immune.

First a French guy, then a British one.

Why?

The first one was too young.

A playboy, a show-off...

I was had.

I came back to France two weeks ago.

Two weeks ago?

I've heard nothing... My ass!

He said he'd write, but...

...he soon forgot me.

But... was he...

...handsome?

You could say that.

He looked like... Peter Gabriel or John Skin.

A cute guy...

Yeah. I don't like ugly guys.

Because handsome guys reassure you...

They make you feel pretty.

He said I was "very nice".

Is your mom appalled by you?

She throws up her hands.

Goes to church a lot these days.

And your dad?

He's soccer nut. Wherever a ball...

...gets kicked, he's there watching.

He's not interested in us.

Do you have brothers or sisters?

I have a brother. He's 17... an asshole.

A sort of ass-licker.

You don't get along?

Not at all.

Are you mad at the whole world?

It depends...

But you've had happy times?

I can count them on one hand.

Let me tell you...

Last year there were a few good days...

What were they like?

Was that with the English guy?

No, the French one.

The one you said was too young.

What's more, I scared him.

Incredible!

Why was he afraid of you?

I don't know.

At school they say I'm a real case. I yell...

The teachers say I'm too arrogant.

I just act that way for effect.

That guy didn't understand me. Not at all.

But there are moments...

Yeah, when I'm sad...

Sometimes I look at my wrists...

...and I wonder...

...why I don't slit them.

I don't have the gust. I'm too chicken.

You shouldn't talk about that.

You should always tell yourself...

...there's always someplace where you can go.

We think we're in a rut, but we're not.

The world is a huge place.

It's a giant box spring mattress.

Bounce on it and you land somewhere else.

You think you're in a rut...

...that the world will cave in on you...

But it's not true. Just land in a different place.

You have a strong personality...

You'll manage.

It's not easy.

I wrote this tonight.

"Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday..."

"Thursday, Friday..."

"Saturday, Sunday..."

"I loved you for a whole week."

It's nice... but it's not very nice.

Quite nice enough.

True love should last longer than a week.

I'm meeting a guy and my brother at midnight. My brother's inside.

You had a date at midnight?

Yeah. I have to go inside.

You can't. You're not 18.

I am 18!

No, you're not!

You can't go in.

Maybe she's getting humped. I'm worried as hell.

Big deal.

She's nuts, and she's hot for it.

But she's got a hell of a mind.

You're saying she's done it, or she hasn't done it?

She's a juicy pear. Ripe for picking.

Young girls don't turn me on.

They turn me off.

You don't dig her?

No. I don't want to wind up with a girl who's never done it.

It could mean big trouble.

Not interested.

Why the hell am I waiting for her?

How's tricks?

Why aren't you with Miss France?

Because she's getting reamed...

...by a paratrooper. A fine fellow. Very brainy.

If that's what she's into...

How about a quickie in the john?

Not tonight. I'm hot for the blond kid.

If I blow you, I'll have bad breath for him.

What a freak!

No. She's O.K.

A buddy and I fucked her.

Together?

Together, of course.

We really gave it to her. We did everything.

Busted her sphincter.

She's not a slut. She thinks it's cool to be wild.

She's quite O.K.

I'm going home alone like a dog.

Like all old guys.

He's kept me here 20 minutes.

Didn't believe we had a date.

We had a date two hours ago.

Now you're on your own. Bye!

At least help me get in. Say I'm 18. He'll believe you.

I'm 18, right?

She's not 18. She can't go in.

You're not 18, you're 14.

Just this once my friend here will fix it...

Just this once.

We're engaged. We're getting married.

Why'd you say we're getting married?

He thought you were a hooker.

Is your name one or two words?

Guess!

Two?

Open your mouth.

Stop! I don't want to.

What do you want?

Now that you're 18...

I'm not 18! Twenty bucks won't swing it!

You really are an old Romeo. That's what you like...

You've been doing that all night.

It's a cinch you got humped.

What else did you do...

...while I waited?

You're so dumb!

Come on! We're leaving!

Mom and Dad don't mind, if we're together.

At your age I had to be in by midnight.

At my age, you were an asshole.

And he still is.

Could you be a virgin?

Don't be a drag.

What do you do for a living?

I get around for a living.

And I earn my living by having franchises.

What's that?

I'm the sole distributor...

...for a big Japanese computer company.

You have a good racket?

Your girlfriend's cute.

She doesn't like me. Anne-Marie will be mad!

She doesn't like me at all. I'd better move on!

She's a bit wacko, but she's great!

Who's Anne-Marie?

Anne-Marie...

She's a very, very good lay.

If you like hookers.

All good lays aren't necessarily hookers.

Are you married?

No kids, either. No point.

Why?

Our planet's too rotten to leave it to kids.

Rotten people get rotten ideas.

Sure.

Let's split. I can't stand that creep.

Not very nice for him, but it suits me.

Come on...

You're crazy!

Kiss me.

Just a little. We know where too much can lead.

People think you're my father.

Yeah?

People have dirty minds.

They make you feel ashamed for no reason.

I'd like to talk to you.

I'll bet.

Why? If I ask you to my hotel...

...does that mean I'll jump on you?

I didn't say a thing.

Do you know the Palace Hotel?

If anything happens, people will say I asked for it.

You don't care what they say.

Do you care what I say?

No.

Then you don't trust me.

That's not it.

Then, where's the problem?

In my head.

We can't stay here all night.

I don't have a 14-year-old's stamina.

I'm old, and old folks need sleep. So, I'm off to bed.

'Bye. We're still friends.

You really have a room at the Palace Hotel?

Why didn't you say so before?

What's the difference?

Well, at least it's your place.

There it is.

It must cost a bundle.

Wouldn't you like to cost a lot more?

Get it? I'll pay. I'll lay out...

I'll lay out, and I'll get laid.

Doesn't money turn you on?

I don't want to cost. I want to matter.

I'm just joking. Trying to be funny.

I know at 14 things aren't funny.

Now I can't touch you any more?

You promised.

Promised what?

That if I came to your room you wouldn't do it.

We're not in my room. Here I can touch you. I'm allowed.

O.K., I won't touch you any more.

What'll we do?

We'll talk.

We'll talk...

And then we'll talk come more.

And after that, we'll talk about talking.

Right?

Come on...

I shouldn't have come, but at least I'll find out.

Here we go again.

What's wrong with my face?

I guess I need a new one.

If you were in my spot, you wouldn't laugh.

Sit down.

Would you like a drink?

Some orange juice...

No. Tomato juice...

...with celery... a slice of lemon...

...a little vodka and some Perrier.

You want a Bloody Mary with Perrier.

Your cassettes are lousy. They're all alike.

And I can't stand jazz.

Yeah, jazz is nowhere.

These trumpets sound like a vaccum cleaner.

It gives me a headache.

You think there's been no good music since your time.

You think you know it all! You know nothing!

Cozy here, isn't it?

It's a drag. I like the "Opium" better.

Sure.

Then, go back there!

Go on, beat it!

Can't I say I'd rather be elsewhere?

Then why did you come here?

To talk...

...like a human being, not like a pig!

O.K., I'm listening. Talk.

Maybe I thought I'd feel like it...

...that something might make it possible...

Have you looked at yourself?

You're too old.

You make me sick.

I can't...

Yes, you can.

Just try.

being a virgin is horrible.

If I'd slept with 50 guys, I'm sure I'd like you.

Look at me.

Come on.

I don't want to.

You're lovely.

The loveliest.

You're built like a real woman.

You have beautiful breasts.

A bunch of lies!

Feelings have nothing to do with chest measurements.

I'm warning you...

If you try to rape me, you'll pay for it.

You want to leave?

No. I don't want to go home.

So, we'll spend all night glaring at each other?

You make me sick! You really do.

you can't even tell when it's good or when it's bad.

So, it's bad.

Stop gabbing.

I knew you were lying.

Lying your head off.

So, from now on...

...you can scream, you can struggle...

...because now I know you want to.

And I also want to.

Don't be afraid.

I said I don't want to.

You do so!

I said I don't, and I mean it. Isn't that enough?

Up there... you don't want to.

But down there, you're dripping with desire.

You want to cut me in half?

Don't talk crap!

Why should I give in?

You've got no choice, dammit!

I could have killed you then!

I don't care.

I wouldn't have given in.

Want me to buy you something?

You say that because it's closed.

It's really late. It's all your fault. We gotta find J.P.

He didn't wait for you.

He can't go home without me.

Hurry, dammit!

Is my brother with you?

He's not here.

So, what do we do?

I gotta go home, what else?

Move your ass, goddammit! I'm the one who's in trouble.

Move it!

We had a horrible evening.

Everything was awful!

I dumped Leticia. She's a drag.

So jealous. Won't let me dance with anyone.

When she screws, she lies there like a sack.

Girls who think they're hot stuff are always lousy.

It's a crime to treat a man that way. Inhuman.

You don't understand.

I despise you.

He's got guts!

Dad would kill him if he came home without me!

What happened to you? I've been freezing for 2 hours.

What happened is that nothing happened.

Next time you need to ejaculate...

...I'm not a sink.

We'll discuss that later...

Later you'll be dead.

Don't you realize your life's behind you?

Ever feel like killing yourself at 40?

Hurry up! What's going on?

Well, goodbye.

I've got work to do... in Paris.

I won't see you tonight?

I have to drive to Paris and back today.

Tonight I'll be at the "Opium". See you there, I guess.

I hope you mangle yourself!

Goodbye, asshole!

It's the last time I take you out.

Oh, yeah?

Look, I'm covered with bruises.

The cops would believe me.

You're nuts!

I'm not. That guy deserves it.

What'll Mom say?

If you shut up, she'll never know.

Take off your shoes.

And don't bug me about all that.

Not now!

I hope they're asleep.

I look awful, don't I?

Don't worry.

You're still cute.

I thought it over. That guy won't get away with it.

I'll take care of him.

It's my problem, not yours.

You've goofed enough. Now I'm in charge!

I think it's dumb.

Chickening out? You're dumb!

Mr. Devetter, please.

Concerning what?

Maurice Devetter, please.

Yes, right.

I'm meeting him here.

Who shall I say?

There's no need.

I'm already ten minutes late.

I can find my way upstairs.

I have a date with him.

Tell me your name. I'll announce you.

Get out!

Go, screw!

My brother's outside, planning to beat you up.

And so?

He's right.

Then why are you warning me?

Shut up. Let me come in.

What do you want?

Money?

An apology.

That's cheaper!

Don't be too sure.

What do you want?

First, say hello. I don't have the plague.

Hello.

I'm covered with bruises.

You're lucky I didn't file charges.

Want to see them?

What do you want?

Forget it!

I just wanted to scare you.

Could we go for a walk?

Are you deaf? I want to go for a walk.

I can't. I'm meeting a client 200 miles away. I'm late.

You just make up these appointments.

Don't try to get rid of me, O.K.?

Or I'll go to the cops.

You really are an old Romeo.

Complete with a paunch!

I have no paunch.

Yeah, but you have wrinkles.

Don't you like them?

Come on!

My brother mustn't see us.

Don't worry. He won't have time.

Hurry!

You fucker! I'll get you!

Don't touch me!

You'd be a great chick for a priest.

I'm not wild about your walk.

It's great. You'll see.

This is called "The Boudoir."

Because, a long time ago...

...two lovers came here and made such wild love...

...that they didn't notice the tide coming in.

They both drowned...

...while they were making love.

That won't happen to us!

No, I guess not.

I can't talk to you...

But I talk to you in my head all the time.

Be quiet.

It's awful...

I let myself get carried away by you.

It's terrible.

Faster.

Stop.

When'll we meet again?

I don't know. I'm not too keen on it.

That really got me down.

I'm not too keen on that kind of thing.

It makes you feel lousy...

...broken...

I don't like that.

What is it? I thought we were through for today.

Listen, I really have to go to Paris today.

Tomorrow... could you...

...manage to be in the caf� at 5 o'clock?

5 o'clock.

I'm really going to get hell for this.

Is it yes or is it no?

It's yes.

You don't want your coffee?

No, I don't feel like it.

There you are! We've waited an hour for you!

You hear me?

I wasn't lost.

Maybe not, but we worried!

That's a first! She's worried about her daughter!

What were you up to for the past hour?

Little slut! Who were you with?

None of your business.

Oh, no? You were with that old guy!

You slut!

He's old, but he's not dried up like you.

He knows how to have fun!!

Don't you start!

You're talking to me?

Yes, I am.

You little tramp!

A little slut! What if I am? That's my problem!

Asshole!

-No, it's mine! -See that!

Stop it, Dad!

Whose problem is it?

I'll do what I want.

It's my problem!

Ouch! No, it isn't! I've had it!

It's my life, not yours!

It's my life! Do you hear?

I have to live it, not you!

Let go of me! I'm sick of it!

What are you doing to me? Stop it!

You're completely insane!

Get your head examined.

I don't believe it! Now what?

Don't try to make up for it! What's wrong with you?

Leave me alone!

Leave me alone! I don't want this!

Let me tell you something...

You scared of getting hit? Look!

Stop it!

Are you scared of getting hit?

It doesn't hurt one bit.

You're out of your skull!

-It doesn't hurt one bit. -I don't give a shit!

-What did you do to me? -Shut up!

He's flipping out, can't you see?

Calm down.

Now she cries! You just realized you married an asshole?

It's a bit late!

Don't bait him! Shut up!

Listen, I wish I wasn't a virgin any more!

The only reason I didn't make love to him is that I can't.

You hear? I can't!

Shut up!

I can't make love to him...

I can't make love...

I can't...

Stop bugging me... Leave me alone, goddammit!

Leave me alone!

Stop it!

Look, the Webers.

Let's avoid them.

At least they have a boy your age.

All he does is read.

Nice weather.

You're not undressing?

I'm not staying. I don't feel like it, today.

I'm going to play gin rummy.

I spend a fortune on a vacation at the beach!

You've got all year to play cards.

At home there's no beach.

And no Mr. Henri, either.

You shut up!

Goddammit!

The kid's rude. Her mother plays cards.

Where's our goddam son?

He might let us know!

How? There's no phone in this wasteland.

You don't have to work or go to school.

What more do you want?

Where's your son?

Bertrand? He stayed at the campground.

Is your daughter looking for him? He's back there.

I'll go see him.

That's more like it. He's your age.

More like what? Get off my back!

Don't say that to your Mom!

What time is it?

I have no watch.

This junk. If I wasn't here, you'd be reading it.

It's not junk.

The pages haven't even been cut!

Phony!

I bought it today. I cut some pages...

There's my place... I don't cut them all at once.

I cut as I read. It's a great book.

What a title!

Yeah, well...

Perfect for you. "The Idiot"!

In the book everyone thinks he's an idiot, but he's very smart.

I don't read books. I want to write them.

Have you read "The Plague" by Albert Camus?

I'm no bookworm. My folks aren't egg-head teachers.

How about "The Stranger"?

That's truly a fascinating book.

And "Brave New World"? That's so well written.

I don't see how someone can't enjoy reading.

At first you and your brother seemed phony, but now...

It pays to get to know me!

You're not so bad to talk to.

We could talk some more, but I'm meeting someone...

You're walking out on me?

I'll be back later.

Don't walk out on me. I'll be all alone.

Then walk part of the way with me.

If you knew what my love life was...

...you'd be shocked.

You know...

...I almost did something dumb.

You know what I mean?

Yes, I do.

Stop! What are you doing?

You're going to kiss me...

Stop! I just wanted to talk!

Stop teasing!

You're not my type.

Shit! Don't you understand!

You're just my buddy. Someone I talk to.

Shit! You're a reacher's kid! I don't screw egg-heads!

I'm the only one you don't screw! You think I'm dumb?

You bet! Look at yourself!

Look at myself, eh?

Darling!

Hi, Sweetie!

Hi, Georgia...

You look lovely...

Did I keep you waiting?

I guess we have time for a drink.

What are you doing here?

Do I get a little kiss?

I won't eat you!

At least not right away. Have a seat.

Something's wrong!

I'm pissed off!

About what?

I'm civil to come kid, and he tries to kiss me.

A hideous kid... like a giraffe...

I wouldn't kiss him, so he called me a slut.

I'm no slut.

Who does he think he is?

I'll slug the next guy who tries!

They look good on you. Keep them.

No. Here...

Don't hurt my feelings. I like to give gifts.

And they'll stop jearks from trying to kiss you.

I have to phone someone.

What is she like?

Nothing special...

...but quite cute, really.

He's only after her to get back at you.

You're here? I thought you were in Paris.

You don't look so hot.

I drove all night.

Don't just stand there!

You must be waiting for someone.

So, let's have a drink!

Later I'm taking her to pick up her dress.

Haven't you heard the news?

You're out of touch.

I'm getting married in two weeks.

It's bad enough you let the creep hump you...

But to actually marry him...

...that leaves me speechless!

Then don't say anything.

She has a right to settle down.

And it's even better when the guy's handsome.

Since you're treating...

...let's order a bottle of champagne.

Some Taittinger... please!

Don't look so glum! He's so uptight!

Among people our age, brains are no asset.

Especially in bed.

And young flesh is so enticing...

Did I say something wrong?

Fuck you!

Lili, stop!

I drove 500 miles to see you, and you split!

I thought you were alone.

Well, we're alone. Now what?

You're gonna be even more alone!

Stop it!

Let go, damn it!

What are these goddam rings?

They're mine.

You found them?

They're a gift.

It's crap! You're crazy.

They're vulgar.

I'll buy you some rings.

Pretty ones...

...for your pretty little paws.

Shall we go somewhere?

Sure, but not to your hotel.

I have an idea.

Well...

I won't do a thing.

Not a thing.

Are you coming?

No, you come here.

Why not? Come on.

I can't any more.

Why not?

It's not my fault...

It's not my fault!

Not my fault.

Get out from under there!

I saw you.

I know how you wound up here!

He did a whole number just to ball you!...

And badly, at that!

I know his style.

He thought this would impress me. Come on, out!

Hurry up. Get out of my bed!

The bastard!

How old are you?

I'm 14.

That bastard!

Such a bastard!

Do you realize...

You say nothing...

If I were you...

...I'd press charges.

At least the bastard would land in jail.

Other girls would be spared.

It takes guts to do it.

Did you hear me?

Screw you, bitch!

Sorry about what happened earlier. Hope you're not mad?

I'm glad...

...because I thought about you all day.

Really?

Yeah, why would I lie?

That's enough! Stop dribbling on me!

What are you waiting for? Go ahead!

I want you.

I'm coming!

Was it good for you?

It never is, the first time.

This was the first time?

Why do you think I did it?

Then... you love me?

Asshole!
