What are you thinking about ?

- Well, yes. - Bring her along.

- Yes, she's going to pick me up.

- Could you pour me another one, please.

- Do you know the owner of the little donkey ?

We give him a lot of money.

He doesn't want to move.

- Not again with your donkey.

- Are you done ?

- I ran into Mme *Bertrand* this morning.

She's going to retire.

She's going to live in Ivry-Sur-Scene

With her children.

Provided that all goes well.

- Here you go. - Thank you

- Do you know what's the little donkey's name ?

His name is Simone

Like your sister.

I saw Alain yesterday .. he's doing a study on the smiths of Africa.

Did you know that bellows had a language ?

They can tell a lot of stories.

- Do you think that you can tell me something nice with your bellow ?

- It's not a violin.

Look ... what does this mean ?

- Yes.

How was it today ? There isn't any damage ?

And for 30-40 years, it was practically an eclipse

while it was clear from the testimonies of these previous travellers

that the Witoto people posed, in terms of their social organisation and religious beliefs,

some of the most important problems of South American ethnology.

The main factor that caused the crucial shock on the native habitat

was what we call, the *Casa Arala*

If only today the Indians recall their old masters and assasins.

Concerning the notion of "summer *..*", it's important to note the simultaneous

presence of high temperature, low water level and wind.

So, a drought.

I wanted to indicate this because it's very peculiar that

in this opposition, where lies an an instinct forming the beginning

of dualist organisation,

there is a distinction between male and female, strong and weak

which is exactly the system of categories of dualist organisations

in central Brazil with the Bororo and Ge peoples.

The U.S. bombing of North Vietnam has resumed.

New wave of arrests in Greece.

The Colonel Pattakos announced that no subversion would prevent the

continuation of the policy of liberalization.

In Czechoslovakia, Husak's government reaffirmed the unswerving friendship

that ties the Czech people with the Soviets.

A match between France and Wales ..

Well, come in.

What's wrong ?

It's not worth asking if you've been drinking.

Listen Vincent, I'm cold.

Have you gone mad ?!

I'll come in, but don't say anything.

Don't yell at me.

I only had one drink.

Only one drink .. you're completely drunk.

Oh, oh .. we affirm, we decree.

Drunk.

It's just that when I'm at your place, I let myself go.

I unwind.

I can walk straight if I want to.

Do you want me to show you ?

Ah, shit.

Leave me alone.

- You were at the site ? Is there anything to see ?

- Yes.

- There's just a little problem, you can see it on location.

There's water here.

There's no problem with the subsoil.

But, how are we going to manage with the typical floors ?

I can see the *casting concrete*, but if we do it afterwards, how will it turn out ?

Against the expulsions.

They say that it's dangerous to throw us out

Once our backs are turned, they'll start giving a few pickaxe storkes

To ruin it a little more.

But the building is perfectly fine.

It's a little old, has a few cracks, but that's all.

We'll send you someone over for counter-expertise.

You know, it's a matter of habit.

- I do try, you know ?

- I know.

You must seek help and treatment.

No, I'll figure things out myself.

I want to do it alone.

- Listen, you've been saying the same thing for years.

You're destroying yourself.

Think about all the years that have been lost.

You set out to do many thing, but time flies by.

I know, I know.

I tell myself the same everyday.

I even set plans for myself.

I write two pages a day

regularly, every afternoon.

I can be done in three months' time.

But, there's everything else.

- What if you took a leave ?

I know .. but I have a feeling that it's too late.

I'm scared

The fact that you want to get out should be good enough.

I'm here for you, I'll help you.

We're stuck .. a life wasted.

This absurd work

It's no reason to let oneself sink.

What about me ? Do you think I'm satisfied ?

Have you ever thought about the architecture that we dream about at school ?

What does reality have in store for us?

Insulting our bosses ...

Don't you think that this is absurd ?

- When are you coming back ?

- At the start of the week.

- Excuse me, sir.

- Would you be able to tell me how can I go to Rue des Maraichers ?

- Rue des Maraichers ? .. I'm not familiar with it.

Is it in the neighbourhood ?

- I don't know, this is the first time I come to Paris.

Madame *Sartou* was supposed to pick me up at the station

I waited for a long time, but nobody showed up.

Maybe I ought to go over there.

It's for a place at their home.

- You wouldn't know in which corner this street is located ?

- Here's everything I can give you.

- 20th precinct.

I think the easiest thing to do is to take the metro.

I'll show you.

- It's hard when we don't know.

I would have preferred to stay at Villeneuve.

There isn't work .. we don't have a specialty.

Already.

It's about a boy formed from a maternal X chromosome and

a paternal Y.

He presents himself with a tendency to *hernia*

frizzy hair, alkaptonuria.

- And if there was nothing left to discover ?

- But the real travelers are the only ones who leave for the sake of leaving.

I've always loved trees.

I think they have an examplary quality.

Except Christmas trees of course.

Since they are reduced to slavery.

When I was a kid, two things interested me : toy soldiers and trees.

I used to mix them up anyway, I'd prepare big battles under the branches.

I've always wondered what did little girls play with.

I played hopscotch, in the kitchen.

We had drawn one on the ground.

With heaven and hell.

When I was a kid, during the holidays, we had a forest.

And I used to baptise the trees. I had a pocket knife

and I'd carve their names on their barks.

And since I read *Chenier* a lot back then, I'd name them

after Roman gods such as Saturn, Jupiter and Bacchus.

So I'd climb them

I'd choose which one to climb based on my mood.

When I was sad, I'd climb Saturn and when I was happy I'd sit up

on Bracchus.

I used to like Venus the most because it was a very comfortable tree

with horizontal branches, smooth and pale, I could lay down there

With Jupiter it was impossible since it was an oak.

- We're still on for Wednesday ? - Yes, yes.

- It's the law, you should leave. I really can't do anything about it.

- We've been here for 40 years.

We have our habits.

What would we do elsewhere ?

Well, we're offering you place for two not far from here but you don't want it.

It's just too expensive.

- And after all, I don't want to be locked in a 10 storey house.

- You should be convinced about changing neighbourhood and going to the suburbs.

It's not so bad. You can start over : a new life, a new youth.

- And then we'll experience happiness.

Another chance, huh ?

- Come on, let's go

- These ones are tough, they won't back down easily.

- It's a secret ballot.

- A secret ballot or a show of hand is always the same.

- Hello ? You have three files. De Landelles The commercial markets of Chicago & *Voitina* 71.

I don't care, I want them in two minutes.

- An ex-miss-France was caught pickpocketing in the metro's lavatories.

- Get rid of this

The three men of the State have proceeded in taking care of everyone

in an atmosphere of cordiality.

- Sir, do you believe that these animals once lived in Paris ?

- Of course.

- What do you propose ?

- That the building befits, it's completely crammed.

- Yeah, and we should tie the cultural *..* to the sports equipement by a green space.

- Yeah, alright. We are already weak as it is in terms of coefficient of ground occupation.

Insufficient use of the field, etc.

Let's be realistic, it all comes down to a problem of profitability.

- Yeah, well, do you want me to tell you how things will end up ?

With a disaster area. Bleak and sadly regulatory.

- With poor buggers planted in residential spaces.

- And a hazardous transport system.

- All of it waded in the mud during several years of construction.

- And to conclude on a lighter note, an early collapse to ruin everything.

- You're forgetting something, the contest is fixed eitherway.

- Good evening, Germany witnessed today another massive flow of dollars.

The first consequence this morning in Frankfurt at the opening of the stock

the dollar rose to 8% above its official value.

But, despite this renewal of speculation, Bonn and Washington reaffirmed their

opposition to the modifications of parities.

The experts are attributing these recent changes in Europe to the

growing problems of the United States.

On the other side of the Atlantic, the expansion has slowed down,

unemployement has increased, the prices rose and the current American

deficit has reached worrying heights.

So, the question being asked is, what can Richard Nixon do ?

We nevertheless know what he will not do.

This afternoon, the White House's spokesman was categorical as he

said that it was out of the question to devaluate the dollar.

Speculators are not so sure about it, they are leaning towards a change...

- I currently have two of them, one of them is isn't really worth mentionning.

However, I'm quite fond of the other one.

- A scotch, please.

- I am quite demanding when it comes to this.

I like women who vibrate in bed.

Raphaele, I'm going to read to you what I've just done.

I don't see the link.

- The link is that I have to go to the site at 7 A.M.

You can barely talk in either case, good night.

- I am feeling perfectly fine. I swear.

I simply wanted to tell you about the thing I wrote last summer.

Do you remember ? There are a lot of things missing, of course. But do

you recall when he finds her blooming, well, from there on, I found ... at this particular

point, he should locate the memory, you know, the childhood memory ..

at this point precisely, it's very important, well, now, I have to write it of course. But ..

I think it's going to work out. I wanted to let you know, because I thought that it'd make

you happy.

- Yes, you're right. Do you know what matters to me ?

To keep doing it.

I send you my kisses. I'll drop by tomorrow.

- There is nothing too bad.

Just a few superficial cracks.

- It's no big deal.

Goodbye.

Good for scrap.

Anyway, that's what my boss used to tell me.

He told : you're good for scrap.

- Did anybody call ?

- No.

Could you call someone on my behalf.

- It's busy. - Thanks.

- I'm leaving.

- I'm going to Vincents. If the boss asks about me, I'll be here in 30 min.

- I believe he wanted to see you

- The project on the 14th precinct came to pieces. - What happened ?

- The mafia, as always. The others won an exemption to build in a non aedificandi zone.

Let me sleep.

- Good evening, gentelmen.

It's better today.

Here's your tea.

- Could you raise the sheets a little ?

- Is that good ?

Our whole life .. we wonder how it's going to end.

Now, I know.

I know that it's here, in this room.

- What are you talking about ?

Come on, calm down.

Tomorrow, you'll feel better.

We pass .. like ghosts.

As if nothing happened.

I'm scared.

- What are you going to get ?

When there's a will, there's a way on my forearm, and my blood type on my chest.

- Very well, do you have your national card ?

Because it is essential, without the card, you can't get the tatoo done.

Yeah, I have it, maybe. Yeah, yeah.

- Do you have it ? - I think so, I think I have it.

- I'm not sure.

- I'll take care of you right away, ok ? Just give me a second.

- Now, we're going to work on the red coloring in order to finish it.

- How's it going ? You're in pain ? - No, no.

- It's no big deal but we should alter it.

As we will probably give it a little shade, in order to add a notion of distance.

- Security in common, this is what they seek.

But they're mistaken.

The real force .. is solitude.

- Will you call me tomorrow morning ? I'll be at the agency.

- Can't I stay with you tonight ?

- You'll never understand.

- Well, here's the job.

- *...* hit himself using the metal engine, and thanks to this accident

we discovered the pink post.

Which is what the enterprise wanted.

There'll most probably be a survey in the other partitions.

It's a nice scam.

It's not a seperation. We'll see each other again.

It's easy to say that. But I know tht we won't see each other again.

It's too far.

And after all, life is like that.

- So don't you want to say with me and find a stable job ?

- I rather be homeless than go to work everyday.

- You're a weird girl.

What do you say to that ?

- What do you want me to say ?

It's true, I'm a weird girl.

You can be very agressive.

No, but it's true. I can't quite understand you ... I can't categorize you.

- I find it funny when people want to categorize you.

Do you want to put me in your little file ?

Sweet female.

Cruel.

Voloptuous.

One time, someone that was trying to seduce me asked me a tasty question.

He asked me : Are you sensual ?

Can you imagine ?

- And what did you answer ?

- I was completely frigid.

Listen Raphaele, I have something discrete to ask you.

- Is there someone in your life ?

- I have many people in my life.

- No, what I mean is .. someone ..

- I understood you perfectly and I repeat, I have many people in my life.

Goodbye.

He succeeded in life.

- It's true that I like tomato juice. I swear.

- It's a little uncomfortable to wear, but it's oh so beautiful.

- Keep it.

It looks great on you.

A gift. You want it ?

- Thank you.

And especialy thank you for al the rest.

Excuse me, but I'm in a rush, so I'll be brief.

Villa has another engagement. Would you be interested in replacing him ?

- What a question! Right away! This instant!

What are we waiting for ? We've already wasted a couple of minutes.

- Let's go then.

You know we're talking about Ecuador.

- I've had enough! I can't wait for you anymore.

I've always seen a big monkey, in the garden of plants.

He was sitting alone in a cage like this.

The people around were looking at him, but he didn't look at anyone.

He stayed like this all the time.

There's *someone* in 21, he's a strict no-salt.

We still have the tray of 62, could you bring it back ?

The little monkey, he has fun, but not the big monkeys.

Here's your lunch.

- I hope you'll keep me a little longer.

- It's not very often that someone would like to stay.

- Yes, but, I feel less lonely when I'm here.

Because, since my husband is gone, I spend days without speaking to anyone.

- Sometimes, when I can't stand being alone anymore I go to a coffee shop and sit between people.

After a while, I feel better and I go home.

- You were doing great on Sunday, why did you start again ?

I had some trouble at the newspaper.

We must always dishonor someone.

All of this always goes together.

Are aware of the state that you're in ?

Look at you.

It's really not possible to go on like this.

You're going to kill yourself.

I know.

You're right.

I can't get out of it.

I really tried and I really want to as well.

- Why don't you help me ?

- But you refuse to be helped.

You set out to do many things.

You ruin everything.

Why do you believe in me ?

Because of my finished work ? The financial market and the floating dollar ?

Stop hurting yourself. You're a wonderful person.

It annoys me!

I'll never get out of it.

It's over for me.

Shut up!

I need you as well!

What would I become without you ?

Do you think about that ?

Come my son. I'll reveal to you the future.

It's not worth it. I am aware of it.

A genius that will not be known, but the most well-known alcoholic of the 2nd precinct.

Then come have a drink.

In the corsages

under the linden trees

carved with hearts

.. with hearts

Anthropophagy .. anthrophagy

.. eternity

It's settled. I'm leaving.

What do you mean you're leaving ?

I saw *..* the day before yesterday and they need someone to replace Villa.

I said yes immediately.

Can you imagine ? Ecuador !

For how long will you be gone ?

As long as possible.

In any case, a year.

I'll do the impossible to stay after that.

Anne .. you knew very well, that sooner or later I'd be leaving.

I've always been honest with you.

I didn't cheat.

I know.

I hope that you'd change your mind.

We'll get married and have lots of children.

I thought I had made myself clear

that it was out of the question for me to live like the others.

to accept all of this ... never.

I'll wait for you.

I'm sure that one day, you'll grow tired of moving around.

I'll never grow tired of it.

I want to know everything, experience everything, have a thousand lives.

I suffocate when I think about the limits of my life.

I love you.

You and no one else.

You can't prevent me from waiting for you.

I can't stand you telling me this!

I can't stand for there to be a link ..

or any sort of obligation.

I want my complete freedom .. absolute.

What about us ? What we had isn't important ?

I don't exist anymore ?

That's completely irrelevant.

You expect of me something I can't give you..

that I'll never give you.

Do you understand ?

You're going home right away ?

Can I accompany you ?

No, I'd rather you didn't.

You won't kiss me ?

A scotch, please.

So, how's the stock today ?

Superb.

Excuse me .. some money.

Here you go my friend.

Hey everyone. It's father's day. Father's day! 14th of July!

We don't kid around with this, Mr. Vincent.

No sir, we don't play around with money!

If not money, then what would we play around with ?

- Excuse me, what time is it ? - 6:15

- Thank you.

- What happened ? - I have no idea.

I feel as if it were yesterday.
