SAINT CLARA

Based on a Novel By Pavel & Jelena Kohout

The Golda Meir School - 1999

Fuckers!

Libby, hide the orange pills! The dogs are coming!

If you talk you go to the hospital, understand?

Not a word to the teacher or the principal.

There's clarity in the confusion.

Something very unusual happened in this class.

For the first time in the history of this school,

maybe even the entire school system,

the whole class.

got a perfect grade on a test.

Amazing!

Twenty four tests and not even one mistake!

Really amazing!

All perfect! But that's not all.

Every question was solved in exactly the same way.

Quite a system of telepathy.

That's how Galit Biron,

whose grade average is 37,

wound up thinking exactly like Eleanor Galash,

whose grade average is 97!

-Asshole! -Strange, huh?

Now,

There's a big difference between clever cheating,

and organized crime.

But you need brains even to cheat.

If you had any brains,

some would have gotten a better grade,

and some a worse grade. But all perfect scores!

A dead giveaway!

Ladies and gentlemen, this is an act of revolt.

And in every revolt,

there's a leader and there's the mob.

The mob of wild, smelly pigs!

Let the pig who thinks he's Napoleon

stand up now and confess!

Bilizovsky!!

First of all,

Take a green pill.

A green one relaxes you like two orange.

They can drop an elephant.

The whole class is on orange pills,

but we leaders can treat ourselves to a green

before the interrogation.

Galash!

Mademoiselle Eleanor Galash.

You're the only one capable of solving all 1,000 math problems

no matter which he decides to give on the test.

So you want me to hang myself at recess,

with a note in my mouth saying: "I'm not a traitor".

As the principal, I understand your problem.

The usual problem of geniuses.

I know you're a lonely girl.

You could easily be used to solve math problems,

just to become popular.

You're right.

And I'm shocked at the way men your age look at me,

but what's that got to do with the test?

Relax, OK?

I'm only trying to stay informed about my students.

That's all.

In every crime, there's a number 1 and a number 2.

Number one is the brain,

and number two is the slave

the one who gets punished while number one goes free.

And why are number twos interrogated?

Because soon they'll inherit the number 1 spot.

A natural mistake of number twos.

They're interrogated because they're weak.

Understand, Monsieur Rosenthal?

Number twos subconsciously resent the leader.

I understand you think I'm number two,

and that I'm filled with resentment,

but you've got nothing on me.

You're not only depressive, you're stupid too.

If you had half a brain,

you'd know you'll be sold out anyway.

But I see you want to stay number two forever.

Fine with me.

Just...

Just one thing.

Who's the swamp pig

who blackmailed Eleanor Galash?

I want to tell you about a dream I had.

I'm in a bob sled,

sliding down the snow at amazing speed.

And who do you think is sitting with me?

Edith Piaf.

She's sitting with me.

Edith Piaf.

Who is she, sir?

She's not relevant to the story.

Ask your father.

And while sliding,

she's singing "Je Ne Regrette Rien."

And I hold her and feel her holiness flow into my heart.

People on the sidelines hand us cups of tea,

like in a marathon.

But we can't stop the sled.

I can't find the brakes.

See how this connects to you?

Ever been in love, Tikel?

At your age, I was madly in love with a girl.

I did really stupid things to impress her.

Do you know what she does today?

Postal clerk.

Sticking stamps on packages with her ass.

Doesn't matter.

People sometimes make mistakes out of blindness.

But everyone returns to his natural place.

Like salmons,

Like salmons,

that return to the exact place where they were spawned,

after swimming around the North Sea

for four years and two months.

Now confess your pathetic attempt at a revolt.

Confess now!

Listen,

I don't know what the others said,

but I didn't copy any exams

or organize any revolt.

I solved the problems on the spot, like a genius.

But I'll tell you this much.

As for the salmon analogy,

I think I understood it.

Get out of my office.

Galit Bironi

-Did you take a pill? -No.

We'll cut off your head and drink your blood if you talk.

Clara Chanov!

Would you like to guess who squealed on you?

What took you so long?

I don't have to guess. I know. Galit Biron.

You know! And did she make it all up?

No.

Zvi, allow me.

That doesn't interest me.

I want to know how she got the test questions,

which were locked in your desk.

I did nothing wrong, sir. -Sure.

Zvi, quiet.

We both know you came from some remote dump in Russia,

but you're still quite a smart girl.

I know how things work.

You're just being used,

exploited,

and I'm only here to help you. Understand?

Now, tell me...

How did you get the questions?

Did you give them the questions, yes or no?

-Yes or no? -Yes, sir. I did.

I knew it!

How did you get them?

They jumped into my head.

What?

-Jumped into my head. -Jumped into your head?

Jumped into your head? Interesting.

The test questions just jumped into my head.

Mounitz said the questions would be from the book.

So I opened the book and the questions jumped out at me.

This lovely building behind me,

is a nuclear plant.

Only a thin aluminum valve stands between this plant

and a leak that could kill thousands.

This is Charlv,

who warms your legs on winter nights.

Two days after the leak,

he’ll look like a mouse.

Dad, do you think it's possible to predict the future?

Dad?

The past is more interesting then the future.

A girl in my class can predict the future.

-Who? -You don't know her.

A weird, Russian girl with purple eyes.

You've never talked about girls at home.

You know,

At your age, I only thought about boys.

I would lie in bed for hours thinking about them.

I wonder what people think about me.

Especially the criminals whose asses I have to kick,

who don't think they're guilty.

What are they thinking when I slap them at 120 mph?

What are they thinking?

What's that girl's name?

Clara. Her name's Clara.

I'm going nuts here. I'm going to call Rosy.

And for the little children with the orange raincoats .

Your kids will play on the radioactive ground,

wearing orange raincoats,

when the nuclear cloud falls.

It's a dead night.

Why's this place called the Monroe Seismographic Institute?

Marilyn Monroe. Don't you know?

She was Richter's whore. The guy who measured earthquakes.

When there's an earthquake,

the scientists are really happy.

The seismograph draws Marilyn Monroe naked,

and they determine the size of the quake by the size of her tits.

That Richter was a real pervert.

Hey Dad, who's Edith Piaf?

She was

a French singer. Not bad, actually.

She used to hang around second-rate boxers. Why?

Our principal met her once.

-Tissona? -Yes.

I love this day. First period is gym.

How can you breathe with all this pollution?

At home we close the shutters, at least.

Last week, they took "Asthma" to the hospital.

But I still prefer gym.

In the classroom, I go nuts after 5 minutes.

After 15 minutes, I'd rather die than keep suffering.

Tell me,

Isn't there even one teacher you like a little?

I hate them all. Hate them to death.

I think you insulted Mom a bit yesterday.

She's a sensitive woman, your mother.

What did you do at Rosy's last night?

We went to the woods.

-What do you do there? -Nothing.

-What's "nothing"? -I don't know.

You don't know?

Get in, Eddie, you jerk! I'm in a hurry.

This is Vered,

-Rosy's sister... -Get in, already!

There are two kinds of girls

that I can't stand.

Whores.

And informers.

You're both a whore and an informer.

So, we have to kill you.

Rosy, we can water our flower now.

Although you have the brains of a horse,

you should know the chemical effect of a match on gas

is fire!

It's real fire.

Stop! We're having a test!

-A surprise test. -How do you know?

-Clara told me. -When?

Now.

Could you check the book?

That idiot always gives questions from the book.

I don't know.

But I can try.

99.

You're naive.

-She can't guess 5 out of 1,000. -Shut up and start solving!

404.

111.

890.

-That's it? -No, there's one more.

But I can't concentrate like this. Could you move a bit?

Hurry up, you snail!

We need time to copy the answers.

Thousand.

Don't let anyone leave the room during the test.

Don't let them go out,

not even to the bathroom.

Especially the little women.

They're at the age when their hormones are raging.

I've seen girls that age do really horrible things.

So watch those nasty cats.

Keep an eye on them.

-Nobody knows the questions. -What do you mean?

I mean, nobody knows. Not even me.

Eleanor Galash, come here.

-Is this an oral exam? -No.

It's a lottery.

Notebooks away. One pencil only.

Eleanor Galash,

Stick your hand in the bag,

and tell everyone what you feel inside.

Well, what do you feel?

-Pieces of paper. -How many?

-1,000 pieces. -999.

Even Galit Biron can solve the first problem in the book.

Pull out 5 questions,

and tell everyone what will be on the test.

Silent, please.

Go ahead.

Please.

66.

There's a line under the number,

which you midgets usually ignore.

The number again is...

-99. -99.

99. Quiet.

Continue.

What a strange thing.

-404. -404.

Write down.

-111. -111.

890.

Yes.

I see you're enjoying this.

1,000. -1,000.

What are you doing here, Tikel?

What do you think? Peeing.

Shouldn't you be worried about something else now?

The truth is, I've been worried a lot lately.

An emotional crisis or something.

You know you can talk to me, Tikel.

I'm not a conventional principal.

That's OK. It's a temporary crisis.

Don't get smart with me.

Where's your partner?

-There's nobody here. -Who were you whistling to?

It's easier for me to pee when I whistle.

Seriously sir,

I finished the test a while ago.

Everyone's finished. Except Galit Biron.

In Russia, where Clara comes from,

lots of supernatural phenomena happen.

There's a guy there with two brains.

He works in a nuclear plant,

developing bombs a guy with one brain never could.

As a guy with just one brain,

I've noticed exactly how Mounitz stares at Clara.

He just looks impotent.

And if you watch Clara closely,

you'll see she teases him with her acid eyes.

Who?

You're not stupid enough to believe she guessed all the questions twice.

Give me a break.

Let's go.

After the test,

Tissona stuck to me in the toilet like a leech,

trying to catch us cheating.

Everything's falling apart.

They've lost control.

The system's paralyzed.

-We have to take advantage. -Let's smear shit on his car.

Back to the jungle, you low-life.

Let's burn down the fucking school...

Mark this place in history.

Believe me, the revolution starts here.

-See you at 4:00, Rosy. -Bye.

Tikel's been acting queer lately.

I'll tell you a secret, but keep it to yourself.

Tikel's in love with Clara. I realized it today.

Didn't you notice the way he looked at her just now?

And I think he's a double agent for Tissona.

You're crazy!

He may not know it yet, but he's in love.

I thought he liked Eleanor.

Open your eyes!

Eleanor's been screwing college boys for 2 years now.

Pay attention and learn how to read people.

It will do you some good.

I'll bring the gas. You bring the matches.

OK, bye.

We'll probably wind up on TV tonight.

This is the oldest tree in the forest.

It's contaminated with Virus Zero,

a disease that turns forests into deserts.

But it's more than a lethal virus It's devious.

It eats the tree inside, leaving the bark untouched.

But suddenly you trust it, your favorite tree.

Who could that be in the middle of the woods?

I suspect it's for me.

That you fucked your girlfriend For the first time in the drift of love.

This is the tree that will fall on your head.

Trees will rain on your head.

400,000 trees will die in one month.

And once again, your kids will be in orange raincoats.

Please come in. Everybody's here.

Hello. -Hello.

As the school principal I must inform you,

that while I'm here, this is school territory.

Just like a foreign consulate.

Yes.

Well...

-Have a seat. -Thank you.

About Clara... As I mentioned,

what happened on the 1st test, also happened on the 2nd.

Don’t tell me Clara sent the answers

through a tiny transmitter you stole from the KGB.

Excuse me, Mr. Consul, for disrupting your speech.

I think you understand me.

You understand what I mean.

But, I was a prisoner of the KGB in Russia, understand?

Many people there have microphones in their heads.

I might have one too.

But Clara doesn't.

-She just knows everything. -Knows?

Knows?

Ever hear of statistics, Robin Hood?

Does anyone understand geometric progression?

-You... Do you know what it is? -No.

-I'll explain. -Fine.

Put a grain of rice on the 1st square of a chess board.

-So far so good? -Yes.

Good.

Then double the number of grains of the previous square.

How many grains of rice will be on the entire board?

I studied math too.

How would you cut this cake

into seven equal pieces?

Huh?

Well?

Watch, Leibnitz.

Stalin.

If you’re so smart, then solve the problem.

Let's go back to the chess board.

Put a grain of rice on the first square, two on the second,

four on the third. Understand the logic?

-Yes. -Sixteen on the fifth.

You're going to heaven, Golda!

Now there are 8,192, okay?

on the 15th square

16,384 on the 16th square...

-Who is that guy? -It's Elvis.

My brother.

65,536.

Clara's uncle.

131,072.

-Is he a hunter? -Yes.

262,144.

524,288 on the 20th square,

and now we pass the million mark.

524,288...

Everything that's happening to Clara,

On the 20th square...

happened to me too.

608...

She'll lose her powers as soon as she falls in love.

16,777,206.

Now do you see how impossible it is?

She could never guess 5 questions out of 1,000 twice!

Excuse me, Mr. Consul, who is this guy?

Eh? Tell me, okay?

He wants to know who Mounitz is, sir.

But sir...

I think you should leave.

What?

Golda's burning.

She's in the classroom.

I didn't know you were so sensitive to smoke.

It's not the smoke.

Look Clara,

things happen for a reason.

I've been waiting for this moment for years.

It's finally possible. You and I can start the revolution.

But we need time.

Watch yourself. You must not fall in love.

That's the only way we'll be able to change history.

I'll be Danton,

and you'll be Liberty leading the revolution.

Delacroix will rise from his grave

and change his painting from 1789.

"Courage, courage. Etojour Courage."

Only then. When it's all over,

Only then can you fall in love.

Understand, Clarion?

We burned Golda's old soul.

Why didn't Tikel come?

Open your eyes.

He probably went to see his Russian sweetie.

-Look at that! -The bitch finally stripped.

Look at those tits!

Shit...

We should report them for shutting the machines.

-An earthquake could bury us here. -Shut up!

This is better than my sister's porno films.

Tikel will die when we tell him!

We have to isolate them. Like lab mice.

A lone student at the blackboard has 40 enemies.

Isn't the air a bit dense today?

I only feel a catharsis rising.

Like in Vietnam.

Send out Tikel.

I was at your house.

I saw the stuffed animals on the walls.

Everyone thinks you're a saint,

but I think you're a lost soul looking for love.

What's going on in your head?

Ten shrinks won't understand your problems like I do!

You want freedom? Revolution? Go fuck Charly!

You just think you hate your teachers.

But you really admire our power.

That's what you don't get.

Go solve the problem on the board.

If there's one student I would conquer the Bastille with,

it's you, Tikel.

I called you here to warn you.

I was at her house, Tikel.

I saw the dead animals on the walls.

She's a witch.

Absolutely.

Stay away from her.

Far, far away.

Tricky bastard.

The problem can't be solved.

Want to help her? Get in your seat.

X is equal to...

X is equal to...

You think the kids made a jerk out of me, don't you?

I'm a jerk. I know. But you know what?

I had one day in my life like you'll never have.

When I was in America, I was sent to Vietnam.

The minute I landed, a friend took me

to a whorehouse. The girls were 14.

I was with 7 at once.

Suddenly, a chopper landed in the middle of the war,

and Bobby Fisher gets out.

The great Fisher played chess with 60 soldiers at once.

I was the only guy who won.

Then they took me to Virginia with him

and recruited me for the American army chess team.

One day in Vietnam.

Mounitz,

Nobody know this,

but I spent a whole night with Edith Piaf.

You heard right.

January ' 61...

A 1/4 star hotel in the middle of Paris.

She woke up after spending the whole night with me,

made me a cup of tea,

sat down and wrote a song about me.

About me.

Edith Piaf?

No, absolutely nothing

No, I regret nothing

Not the good things that have happened

Nor the bad, it’s all the same for me

No, absolutely nothing

No, I regret nothing

It’s paid, swept away

Forgotten

I don't care about the past

Let's go to a movie or something.

Forget the movies. I only go with girls, anyway.

Nothing good to see anyway.

I have an idea. Let's go see Clara.

Check if she's had any new visions lately.

Forget it, Rosy.

She can guess things about us she’s better off not knowing.

You mean the fire? Who cares?

You've been acting queer lately.

Have a seat. Why are you standing?

I've always wanted to meet Clara's friends.

We've been in Israel for 5 years,

and we've never met any of Clara's friends.

She never brings them home.

What do you think of Clara?

What do the boys think of her?

She's one of the serious girls.

-Serious? -That's what we call girls like her.

She can sit in class all day and say nothing to nobody.

What Libby's trying to say is...

That Clara lives in two worlds.

She only visits our world when she has a good reason.

She got that from my side of the family.

Elvis, her uncle, is like that too.

She has amazing eyes.

Does she really?

Pretty eyes. Everyone looks at her eyes.

Our teacher makes her sit on the side of the room.

Whenever she's in front of him,

he can't concentrate. Because of her eyes...

She hypnotizes people with her eyes,

and they open up to her.

You can't tell what she's thinking just by looking at her.

She's amazing. I mean, her eyes...

Right, Rosy?

-Yes. -Yes.

Good evening. Is Eddie home?

No, he went out. But, come in.

He doesn't tell us where he's going.

Have a seat.

You can sit on the sofa.

You're the girl who guessed the test questions.

-How did you know? -It's my job to know.

-Are you his girlfriend? -No, I'm barely a friend.

You're the first girl to visit him at home.

-You're not from here. -No.

-Are you from Odessa? -No, from Crimea.

-Where in Crimea? -Dubinchik.

Dubinchik. I've been there.

Really good sardines, right?

Yes, very good.

You know,

I've never talked to a 15 year old girl like this.

The first time, and it has to be my son's girlfriend.

I'm only 13 and a half.

-Ever been in love? -No.

In high school, I was in love with a girl.

For 6 years, I couldn't stop looking at her.

Even during tests.

She was really amazing.

But I never spoke to her.

And at night, I would imagine how she sleeps.

Why didn't you tell her you loved her?

Everybody loved her.

Even today, I can feel her run through me for a few seconds.

And then it passes...

-How's the juice? -Got any chocolate?

It was Eddie's mother.

-Who? -The girl you loved.

No. Nobody marries their fantasy.

Do you like knowing the future?

No. Will Eddie be home soon? I need to talk to him.

Yes. Any minute. One more thing.

If I asked you for tonight's lottery numbers,

could you do something like that?

Would you like me to?

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Yes!

Why are you screaming? Are you nuts?!

You screamed!

Sit here. Sit down.

Six. Six! Six!

Six!

Where are my shoes? Eddie get my shoes.

How much?

4 million, if we're the only winners.

Wow!

The first time you're happy about something I did.

The second time.

Sit down and listen good.

I know how dangerous life is.

Wow!

Anyone who gets his hands on the ticket,

can cash it and steal the 4 million.

-Eddie, why are the shutters open? -4 million...

2 million. I'll give half to the Chenovs,

-Chanov. -Chanov.

-Why them? -That's my business.

Stay out of it.

A new Volvo with a 24 karat gold steering wheel.

Do you want anything? Something for the house?

Go to sleep. I'll guard the ticket.

Why'd you give everyone all the lotto numbers?

We could have been millionaires!

Stop, enough!

What's wrong, Elvis?

Elvis, what's wrong?

Do you remember when I felt aggrieved, Natasha...

Now, I feel the same.

Like imperfection.

I see.

With this, it's sweet.

I almost caught her. She went to that zone.

I had to go into zone.

Radioactivity didn't erase his memory.

He lost it because he loved Natasha.

And not because of the radiation of the "zone."

And she died.

More than 300 people have won the lottery.

No doubt a case of national fraud.

More will see their dreams go up in smoke,

and the angry mob protests.

We don't have a dream anymore.

God almighty is a joke! All our dreams went up in smoke!

God almighty is a joke! All our dreams went up in smoke!

It's that Chanov's fault!

Him and his witchy daughter gave us the numbers!

It's better like this, Chanov.

At least we were happy for one night.

You look like the spirit of this catastrophe.

Who are you?

Igor Chanov. Clara's father. I gave everyone the numbers.

Where's Clara?

At school.

-Where's the school? -Across the street.

-Who are you? -Shut up, you ugly bitch!

On a carpet of yellow leaves

In a simple dress

From wind-blown crepe de chine

Autumn danced waltz Boston in the gateway

A warm day flew by

And the saxophone sang hoarsely

God almighty is a joke! All our dreams went up in smoke!

Two people have already committed suicide.

Soon the police will arrive with black bags.

But the real party hasn't started yet.

Hello. You look like one of us. Who are you, sir?

Fuck you and the media!

Say,

How many girls' tits have you touched?

At least five.

You mean if you count all the girls you knew

when you were five.

Big shot, just like your father...

It's strange that he got all six lottery numbers.

Not strange at all. Clara gave me the numbers.

Your problem is that you crack under pressure.

You would never have lasted in the Holocaust.

"Saint Clara"

Tikel, what are you doing here?

Holy shit! He's picking roses for her.

Cut the shit. I'm just passing through.

Since when do you just pass through?

I only know one girl who lives in the woods.

We're not your dogs, understand?

Didn't you swallow enough pills today?

No, but I've swallowed enough shit from you.

I wonder what Tissona gave him for our souls.

You're a double agent, huh? They say your father is too.

She'll never go out with a worm like you.

My memory's back.

I just can't remember how Natasha died.

She didn't die.

She didn't die?

She ran away with another man.

Did she ever love me?

Yes. She loved you.

Wow!

Dad'll kill you.

-Do you like it? -It's great!

Did Dad see it yet? I bet he was shocked.

I just cut it off. He's not home.

If you were my age, guys would fight over you.

Guy's have fought over me.

What happened, Eddie?

Nothing. I had a fight with Rosy.

Over that Russian girl who guessed the numbers?

Yeah.

-How'd you know? -I'll tell you.

At your age, I had these red and blue striped bell bottoms.

Guys would faint when they saw me.

For them, I was fantasy from a love song.

They tried to show me their love in strange ways.

One guy rode through a window in my house on a motorcycle.

Another guy just didn't know what to do,

so he beat up my brother every day and said:

"Tell your sister to wear her fantasy pants tomorrow."

Then I heard someone from my class disappeared.

He was just some guy nobody paid attention to.

But he used to stare at me all the time.

He always looked like a scared rabbit,

and I used to rub up against him as if by accident.

-Dad? -You think Dad still loves me?

I think so.

So do you speak to her in Russian?

We don't really talk much.

What do you do together?

We're not together.

She doesn't even think about me.

She's crazy about you.

You think so? All the guys love her.

Rosy, Asthma, Uzi and Edgar.

Even Dov.

-Who are they? -Just a bunch of nobodies.

Wrong door.

I've had it.

You know what?

I think I'll ask her out to a movie tomorrow.

A movie?

-Yeah. -Do something special.

For us, a movie is special.

What's the queen of the woods doing in the big city?

Get in, witch. We'll take you for a ride in heaven.

So, show us some of your "talents".

Let's get some chocolate first.

Give me the bat.

Give it to me.

Get in the car, you psycho!

Step on it, sis.

Clara! Clara! Clara! Clara!

Clara! Clara! Clara! Clara!

Clara! Clara! Clara! Clara!

Clara! Clara! Clara! Clara!

Clara! Clara! Clara! Clara!

Clara! Clara! Clara! Clara!

Clara! Clara! Clara! Clara!

Clara! Clara! Clara! Clara!

Love...

Nothing can stand in its way.

Yesterday I started hurting here.

I'm fed up with everything.

My parents, their relationship, school...

I left everything behind and came to you.

-You know the Seismographic Institute? -Yes.

There are orgies there every night.

They don't give a shit about the machines.

We used to sit outside and peep at them.

Last night, on my way to you, Rosy jumped me with 10 guys.

They had bats and knives.

I put up a tough fight, but in the end,

they beat the shit out of me.

My mother said you were the coolest.

Do you really think I have amazing eyes?

Yes.

I think your visions come from your eyes.

My uncle Elvis had the same visions when he was young.

People say it’s because we lived near a radioactive zone,

but I know it's because of Natasha,

a girl he used to loved.

She loved him too, but they never told each other...

And then she ran into the radioactive zone.

-And what happened? -She died.

I guess you didn't get last night's hint.

Assholes like you can't lead revolutions.

The only revolution you can pull off is popping pills.

People only followed you today because of Clara.

Don’t worry, Tikel. We didn't come for you.

Wait here.

Give this to Libby.

She loves you.

Let's go.

Rosy looked hurt. What did you say?

One day, I'll tell you.

Want to see a movie tonight?

I don't know. I feel something big should happen tonight.

Do you think I can make things happen or just see them coming.

After the bird in class, you can do anything.

I didn't plan it. I just wanted to be saved from the blackboard.

This is Michael Holler reports to you from the scene.

Earthquake at midnight.

Earthquake at midnight. Saint Clara has predicted it.

Everyone is fleeing in their little, white cars.

It all started when a 13 year old Russian girl,

began seeing visions of the future for this forgotten town.

That's when she became Saint Clara. The Seismographic Institute says:

there's no chance of an earthquake tonight.

But people are fleeing anyway.

What's wrong with you? I told you.

We just made up all this earthquake business.

-Now come stand under the doorway. -Come on, Eddie.

You're getting along fine without me.

You look nice like that.

And Dad, I'm sorry about the lottery.

Don't be sorry. I quit my job anyway.

Tomorrow, after this earthquake is over,

I'll have an 8 egg omelette with bacon and a pail of coffee,

and practice darts all day. You'll see...

Only darts.

In a week, I'll kick your butt at darts. Now come stand here.

-It's OK. -What's OK?

I can't believe this forest might not exist tomorrow.

Too bad about these trees. I feel connected to them.

This was a great town.

We did great things here.

In a few years, we could've started a revolution here.

You know,

I feel bad about Tikel. I'm sorry he's not here with us.

He and I have been through a lot together.

Since the age of six.

You know, women can make us do all sorts of things.

But Clara...

Tomorrow she'll be the talk of the country,

and we'll wake up and start from the beginning,

just like the pioneers who cleared out the swamps.

Tomorrow will be a great day.

-You're still in love with her. -No I'm not.

-I hope it doesn't happen. -What doesn’t happen?

The earthquake.

All this quiet stresses me out.

Suddenly, I feel my body trembling.

You're imagining it. It's just your heart.

I'm really sorry about what happened with Rosy.

Anyway.

We always hung out together at times like this.

Almost our whole lives...

Until last night.

Anyway, I'd rather be with you.

Do you know what's going to happen tonight?

Not when I'm with you. That's one reason I like being with you.

I wonder if anyone stayed in town.

Let them all go. The city will be all ours.

-I wonder if the principal ran away. -I think so.

I hope he doesn't come back, that dog.

He's not a bad guy. He's actually kind of sweet.

He's really lonely. I feel sorry for him.

Clara!

This is my uncle, Elvis.

Hi.

I looked for you all day.

What did you want?

I wanted to tell you,

not to be afraid of the earthquake.

What did he say?

-He said you're impressive. -What else?

Not to be afraid of anything.

Mr. Consul! It suits you so well to be here!

Thanks. Clarion, Monsieur.

I'm so happy to see you two together.

Love is the light of life.

In the end,

We're the only four left.

Sorry about that warning I gave you, Tikel.

Great dog! He looks like he belongs to Bob Marley.

-What's his name? -Jean. Jean Gabin.

-Well, we have to get going. Bye. -Bye, kids.

What's the name of your...

-My dog? -Dog?

Yes, dog.

What’s his name? Yael.

Come! I'll teach you a great song!

Because Johny is a dude

He fondles, he fondles

You're fool...

I think I love you.

Don't worry. It's only a 4 on the Richter scale. It's almost over.
