A first class

What happened to you, guy? We dont see you any longer.

Well, I'm very busy now, a small participation in a film.

We just form a soccer team and you could play as centre forward.

I'm sorry, it's impossible. I have no time.

We met in the evening.

But I can't. I told you I'm working. I leave next week for one-month period.

What a pity. But you could stop by one night to see our training.

Of course. I'll do that.

-Here you are. Bye. -Bye.

Paul, wait. There are some mail for your mother

and this will avoid me going up.

Here you are, Paul.

He looks nice, this guy. What does he do?

I think he's a theatre actor.

Here we are, Paul.

I'm coming, Mom.

If you intend to be back for sleeping be sure not make any noise.

Do they let you completely free?

Yes, yes!

How long?

For ever.

Did you say you're leaving with me for a couple of days?

Dont worry. It's not important.

But this is important, Paul.

She doesn't care, anyway.

Why?

Oh, dont know. It has been this way since I can remember.

How old you were when your parents split up?

Around 10.

The judge decided that I would stay with dad and my sister with mom.

Why didn't you stay with him?

He used to beat me up.

One day, I was grounded at school,

he was called by the principal. He made such threat, I did not dare go back home.

I spent the night outside.

What did you do the next day?

In the morning, I went to mother's place

but at the very same day she took me back to dad's place.

And I stayed there for one year.

but soon he lost interest in me.

Then, there has been another judgement,

and I could return to mom's place.

If she accepted you back it's because she loves you very much.

I don't know anything.

I think that she did to upset dad.

It was her way to revenge.

And then, have you ever seen your dad again?

Never more.

And he did make an effort to seeing you?

No, he completely lost the interest in me.

How old were you?

Around 11 or 12.

Do you have a light on you?

Thank you.

Good morning, madam!

Good morning, Paul.

Good morning, sir. Did you have a good trip?

Very good, Vincent. Thank you. Did the vet show up.

Yesterday, sir. The foal is in the small clearing.

Is my wife here?

Yes, sir. In her very room. She is having the breakfast.

-How are you? -Fine. And you?

-Your chest. -Ah, thanks.

It was hard to find it.

What are you reading?

I'm rereading Industrial Collectivisation by Richard.

Ah, it's interesting!

You know that a new riding club was just opened near here.

Why don't you go?

You know I hate horses.

I'm afraid of them.

So, you should come back to tennis.

You are completely closed in the time.

How many times I'll have to repeat that I hate sports of any kind?

Sorry. Let's not talk more about this.

-How did you spend your season in Paris? -As usual.

Ah, as usual...

When will start this great interregional tournament?

-Within few days, darling. -I hope you're in good shape.

See you tonight.

-Aren't you coming for lunch? -I wont have lunch today. I'm very buy.

I'm ready, mom.

-Send a letter to your sister and brother-in-law. -OK.

-When do you leave on vacation? -Saturday.

-May I meet you next week? -You know very well that it is quite small.

What should I do when I get back?

You're big enough to help yourself.

OK. Have a nice vacation, mom.

-See you. -See you.

Don't forget to write to your sister!

Don't worry.

Tell me! Do you prefer the sea or the field?

Why is that?

Just answer! Do you prefer the sea or the field?

The sea.

-The Sailboats or Chris Craft? -The Sailboats.

-You rather go to America by ship or plane? -By ship.

Why?

Oh! I've seen an ad a while ago. We could see people in

the armchairs, with blanket in the legs.

Is this stupid?

Of course not.

Would you prefer to live in a cottage without

any penny or in a studio with lots of money?

If I have lots of money, I'll buy the cottage.

And which do you prefer the dogs or the cats?

The horses.

Yes, I know that.

-It is inadmissible! -Our apologies, my lady.

I paid additional 15 francs for the dog and I don't want him to get

the Canigou.

You can count on me, my lady, this wont happen again.

I booked 2 rooms with communication in the name of Gurin.

Yes, sir. Mr. Gurin, perfectly.

226 and 228.

Are you coming?

Thank you.

How do you like it?

It's really fantastic!

Look! Look at this!

I would like to know how to ride horses.

Why not?

I don't have the proper equipment.

I have not to wear.

-This really would give you pleasure? -Oh, yes!

Let's take a bath?

Not me! I will leave. The water is too cold.

Eh, sissy!

Watch out! Don't touch it or it can get nervous.

Excuse me, miss.

Stop it. You're hurting me.

Stop it!

-Be nice, when asking. -Paul, you hurting me,

would you please be so kind as to stop it.

-Please, Paul. -Please, Paul.

Attention, not too fast. Follow the right side of the road.

What your foot is doing down there?

Slowly.

Engage the third.

The third!

Very well.

Look forward.

No! Pay attention where you are going to. Come back to the right.

A bit to the left.

No, back to the right. To the right!

Philippe...

-how are you? -Very well, how about you?

It is unexpected to find you here. Do you intend to stay a few days?

Just to watch the match of my horse tomorrow.

By the way, did you know that Guimard and Paskier made a joint venture?

I've heard about it. It was time to happen.

All right, them. Good look tomorrow.

-Goodbye, Philippe. -Goodbye.

Who is he?

A director in Reims.

Do tell me, what's your job?

I'm a printer.

I know. But what do you print?

Ah, lots of things. Brochures,

flyers, posters. We work closely with advertising.

So, it is a big printer?

No. Normal, average size.

How long have you been married?

Why so many questions?

Because sometimes I think.

Do you get to think? And how about me?

-Of course. -I know. Just kidding.

It has been around 20 years.

20 years!

-Does your wife work? -Yes. You could say that.

What does she do?

Oh, she reads, thinks a lot, plays chess.

Is it all?

She also makes a little politics.

What's up? Why so many questions all of a sudden?

I've told you. I always think.

But I wanted you tell me too.

You don't have children.

Leave sort of apart.

Then, why are you still together?

My little Paul. It's not that simple.

We met each other since we're kids, our parents were close friends.

Nowadays it isn't the same thing, but many things remain...

The tenderness...

The memories...

They are important, you know?

So, why should we split up? Just to start again?

And what is more, there are the habits. Habits are terrible...

but they are comforting too.

Do you think it would be different if you have had children?

I always ask me that. I don't know.

Let's go. Let's buy your boots, if you want ride a horse.

I thank you very much, Philippe.

It suits you very well.

You are pretty elegant.

It's doing well.

If the ground remains soft, it has chance.

But a gallop before the match wont let it very tired?

No, it is to put it in shape.

-Do you let me ride when I know how? -Yes, yes, we will see.

Riding a thoroughbred is totally different than riding saddle horses.

It's more difficult?

No, it's something else.

Tell me Paul, why do you want to be an actor?

I can't explain very well.

At least, give a try.

It's hard to explain.

To act as characters that I would like to be in life,

and then we travel,

we're well known.

This must be nice.

You know that a good actor is not made in a split of a moment.

All the works require a technician, knowledge.

I don't have a choice, as I don't know how to do anything, anyway.

Precisely! You could make some courses.

-Of acting? -Sure. And other things.

Listen to me,

you've quit school with 13 years, which wasn't your fault

nor a big deal, we were obliged to do so.

But it is necessary to recover the time you've lost. You need reading.

And I could help you.

It's the only thing I ask.

But your collaboration is a condition sine qua non.

Now it's too late.

Don't be foolish.

When we are 16 years old, nothing is too late.

Come on.

When we get back, you could start the acting course.

Where?

Don't worry, I will take care of that.

-How long have you been there? -I'm here for a while.

-What did you do? -I took a bath.

With this weather?

Why not? I just love the sea when the weather is like it is.

Why do you insist in wearing a tie here?

-It suits the place. -Ah, I couldn't agree more.

Tell me, do you know that game?

We cross our arms this way

and the first who drops it is the loser.

Lets try?

No, no. Not here.

Please.

Stop it!

And now, young arrogant?

-Lets try with the left arm. -Ah, no. It was enough.

Ah, you flinched, hein?

Another time, when you'll be stronger.

When do you come back?

Within 2 or 3 days.

I'll go down immediately, thank you.

I'll call you on Saturday.

-See you. -Goodbye.

I was about to forget. You don't have any money.

-You should have told, idiot. -Thank you.

Dear Mom,

The weather is beautiful

which is very unexpected in Normandy,

I hope you are having good vacations and enough rest.

I'm attaching a little help, 250 francs.

See you soon, Mom, I kindly kiss you.

Adjust the reins.

Press, press with your legs...

The reins.

Trotting the horse, trotting...

The legs, control your legs.

Lean back and low heels.

Speed up the pace, speed up the pace.

Hold the reins in the hand and drive the horse with the knees.

Slower

Slower.

Head up.

Look forward. staring the shoulder of the second.

The heels down, your heels down and back.

You lost a stirrup. Find it. Here you are.

Pay attention to the reins.

Now, marching.

Ease, ease,

the knees, pay attention to your knees.

Don't let the horse sleep, here you are.

Come on, let's tighten...

in order to stop.

Stop it!

The long reins, take out the stirrup.

It's over.

Except for Mr. and Mrs. Saint-Martin,

I thank you all.

How long do you ride?

This is the third time.

-You're doing OK. -Thank you.

-And you? Do you ride? -No, I don't like.

-How was everything? -Very nice, year. Have been waiting long?

-A bit. Where have you been? -To the sea cost. I love galloping on the beach.

-Let's go to Miok's place? -If you want.

Come with us, let's have a glass of wine.

Marie-Laure!

I have to go. Have an appointment with the hairdresser.

-Let's go. Bye. -Bye.

-See you, miss. -Marie-Laure.

She is cool, this girl.

Do you always see her?

You know that you can treat me more informally.

Her parents and mines have a village here, so we met during vacations.

How about you?

I'm in the hotel.

-With your parents? -No, by myself.

My godfather stops by once in a while to see me.

What a lucky boy!

Why?

It's quieter this way.

What do you do in Paris?

I attend the Louis-le-Grand.

-You prepare Elementary Mathematics, but dont have a mathematical air.

You are right. I'm stronger in French.

How about you? Where do you attend classes?

Institute of Art and Decoration.

Is it interesting?

It's not bad. And it pleases my parents.

The water was cold?

More or less.

That guy is a pain in the ass,

he's always around her!

Why? Do you have any interest in her?

I think she is nice.

She has a sweet air.

It's true. She is beautiful,

but I would rather say that her air is hard.

-This is great! You did not swim. -I know, I know.

-Give-me my robe. -Here you are.

-Will you join us for dinner? -No, I can't.

-Olivier, will you come? -Go ahead I will be with him.

Place your bets.

Alea jact est.

Bets are closed.

-Black 6. -Pair and Manqu

Ah, damn, could you lend me some money?

No way. Now is 21.

Even or odd.

I have nothing but 300 francs.

-I lost. -Oh, no! You bet everything.

Are you bored?

No, not at all.

You have a sad expression.

No, no. It's the way I am.

I was thinking in the winter sports.

Are you good at skiing?

Pretty much, yes.

Every year I go

my parents have a cottage.

Where?

St. Moritz, do you know there?

Only by its fame. It's fantastic, isn't it?

-Jean-Marc, let's play. -I'm coming.

What does your dad do?

My father has a large printer.

Another sonny boy.

-Jean-Marc, are you coming or not? -I'm coming.

Bruno!

You are a very naughty boy.

I'm going to talk to your mom.

Coward, why left without saying anything?

-Where are you going to? -To Honfleur, have a dinner at Jean-Marc's.

-Come on. -Come on, let's go.

Paul, come to my side. I wont let go any longer.

Hello, Paul?

How are you?

Did I wake you up?

You sounded sleepy.

Listen, I have business to do at the printer.

It's a lot of things to do and I can't pick you up.

Are you hearing me?

So, I'm sending you some cash. You pay the hotel and return by train.

How about the car?

The keys are hidden in a small box, at the left side,

you deliver them to the desk boy.

Oh, what a pity!

I made so many friends so far.

Can't I stay a bit longer?

I wont find anybody at home. What should I do when I get there?

I can't pick you up before 4 to 5 days.

Let me stay, Philippe,

I'm having such a good time!

OK!

I understand.

If this gives you pleasure.

What did you do last night?

Did you go to bed late?

Not at all.

And how about the riding lessons. How are them?

Oh yes, I do them every day. I made amazing progress.

I will call you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

See you!

Kisses.

Bye.

She is so beautiful!

Christ!

Anyway, I prefer the brunettes.

And her big blue eyes like a doll cause me chills on my back.

Oh, you're exaggerating.

You have been fooled by appearances, I assure you.

Why?

Because.

I think you are too sentimental.

Oh, Lord! She's fantastic!

All right, all right, she's fantastic.

Tell me, you do have good parents.

They let you spend the whole vacation here, alone, in a sort of palace.

It's rare.

Yes, yes.

Come on, let's go, it is over.

It's pretty windy.

Whose car is this?

My godfather's.

He let you drive it?

No, he wasn't there so I picked up the keys.

But you don't have a drivers license.

Don't worry, I know how to drive.

Do you want a cigarette?

Not now.

Are you feeling cold?

A bit, yes.

Do you want me to turn on the hot air?

I want you to hold me.

Marie-Laure!

My darling!

I'm so happy.

When I could imagine that the girl of my dreams...

I imagined her like you,

blonde,

blue eyes,

I never thought that it would happen to me.

I love you.

It's the first time.

Give me a cigarette.

Let's go back, my parents will be worried.

Philippe,

Philippe!

What?

How about watching a film this afternoon?

Tables of Disorder.

Oh, why don't we go to the casino?

No, please, Paul.

Well, well, as you wish.

Hello, are you alone?

Yes, yes.

My godfather, Nicolas.

-Good evening, sir. -Good evening.

-Come and sit with us! -All right.

What are you drinking?

-What do you want? -A beer.

Me too.

Three, please.

What did you do this afternoon?

We went to the cinema.

What did you see?

Tables of Disorder, very good.

Yes, I've heard good critics.

You should see it. The film is very god.

Good evening.

Here goes the artist!

Marie-Laure, Olivier, my godfather.

Good evening.

-Sit down. -thank you. We have a meeting with friends.

And then we'll stop by Hi-fi. Could you meet us there?

I don't know, yes, perhaps.

Let's go Paul.

-I see. -Bye. See you later.

Your friends are very polite.

How did you meet them?

They are Nicolas' friends and we met every day.

Their parents have houses here and they come every year for vacations.

But why do they call you "artist"?

Because they don't understand anything,

I'm a kind of joke, for them.

-Really? Why is that? -I don't know.

Because my scale of values, for them is updated.

It's pretty that girls. What's her name?

Marie-Laure.

I've gotten the impression that your friends are waiting for you,

I'll go inside and you could meet them.

No, I don't want to. I'm going in with you.

No, no. I'm tired. You go with them. I'm going in, good night.

Good night, sir.

It's nice, your godfather.

Yes, yes, he is very nice.

He belong to your family or he is an outsider.

No, no! He's a friend to my parents.

Let's go? Let's go to Hi-fi?

-Good night. -Good night, sir.

-Good night, sir. -Good night.

Philippe, are you sleeping?

Philippe?

Philippe!

-Good bye, madam. -Good bye. Thank you.

Marie-Laure.

Marie-Laure!

-They are for you. -For me?

A memento of our vacations,

see you soon, in Paris. Paul.

He's a good kid. Very nice.

Oh, yeah, he's really very nice.

-Seven. -Seven.

-One, two, three, four, five six, seven

Ah, Faubourg St. Honor,

4 houses,

97.500 francs, paid to the landlord.

Let's pay!

-I can't. I don't have such amount. -So, you must sell.

To sell what? I don't have anything left.

You already won once, I will arrange the dishes.

-I'll do it. -Oh, why the rush! Let's play another.

Not me!

Paul, do you want me teaching you to play?

I must go. I have a date.

You did not tell us much about your vacation.

Another time.

At least were they good?

Who were your friends?

The friends.

Gee, Paul, you know how to live.

Do you think so?

Don't you think you are lucky?

And now, what do intend to do?

Get ready for the conservatory.

Conservatory? This can't be serious. You're kidding!

This is not the way to bring money home.

The money doesnt matter.

I think it is better this than start as a trainee somewhere.

It would be good if you would do as everybody: earn your own life.

Yes, but the way I want.

You always think you are the best,

fortunately there are very few like you.

And if you continue doing like this you wont be able to have a family

nor to live as Richard!

You may be right, but I don't care.

My ambitions are others.

Paul, stop it, please,

be polite with your sister.

I wasn't me who've started.

Now I'm leaving. I have an appointment.

Where are you going?

-It doesn't matter. -Let's see a film?

Yes...

-What's up? -They depressed me.

What did they say?

Always the same thing, that I need to work.

They might be right.

Of course they are right.

Of course it is necessary that I work

but it is the way they talk, their point of view.

I'm not sure when they talk about work is as if there were always a threat.

It's normal.

I know it's normal,

but I'm not their way. I'm afraid.

Yes, but you are afraid of the opposite.

How is that?

You are afraid the thing they are looking for: stability.

You don't are afraid of the material problems.

-It's the kind of life you live that scares them. -Yes, that's right.

I begin to know you, Paul,

I know that you want to work,

of doing what interests you

and, above all, do the things you would like to continue doing the next day.

And why they can't understand?

I hate them!

If they could understand, everything would be different

now it's necessary for you to tell them.

Be indulgent.

Come on, let's see a film!

Nicolas,

It has been a long time since I want to tell you something.

What?

My godfather

Philippe,

is not my godfather.

I kind knew it.

Why?

Some details.

Do you know whom he is?

I guess so.

And?

And, what?

-What do you think. -For me, it's all right.

Louis-le-Grand, my studies, my family

everything is a big lie.

Of course. Why do you say that?

Because I like you.

And more, I trust you.

I've never told this to anybody.

I'd need to tell you that.

To your godfather

and his godson.

Is this your first year in political science, my dear Gerard.

No, it's the second.

And you study Law concomitantly?

Yes, yes. And I intend to make a contest in ENA.

Ah, very good. I congratulate you. It's a good school.

How about you, Paul?

What do you do when you're not sending flowers to my daughter?

I study.

Are you in the Pasteur?

No. I attend Louis-le-Grand.

Dont you live in Neuilly, Paul?

Yes. So?

I thought the inscriptions at the high school were mandatory to those living nearby.

Absolutely,

I mean

my father graduated in Louis-le-Grand

so he wanted me to attend there too. He's a friend to the Principal.

Very well, young man. It's profitable to have good relations.

Marie-Laure, you fail in their duties, offer a drink to your friends.

Sorry, madam, I have to go.

I have a test tomorrow at 8AM

and promised my mother not to sleep very late.

Stay another 5 minutes.

-I will give you I ride, if you want. -OK. Thank you.

Are you going to Megeve this winter?

No, I'll go to Gstaad. It's more international and I prefer it.

Do you have friends over there?

Yes, yes. They have wonderful cottages.

After all, I will walk back. It will be good for me.

-Good night. -Good night.

-Good night. -Good night.

Do you think we are taking chance?

No. Don't you worry.

Anyway, lock the door.

It is no wish of mine to vaunt my merits,

But, if I may lay claim to any virtue,

I think beyond all else I have displayed

Abhorrence of those sins with which I'm charged.

The daylight is not purer than my heart.

How, then, could I, burning with fire profane

Phaedra alone bewitched your shameless eyes;

Your soul, to others' charms indifferent,

,Disdained the blameless fires of lawful love.

No, father, I have hidden it too long,

This heart has not disdain'd a sacred flame.

Here at your feet I own my real offence:

I love, and love in truth where you forbid me;

You love her? Heavens! But no, I see the trick.

You feign a crime to justify yourself.

Sir, I have shunn'd her for six months, and still love her

To you yourself I came to tell it, trembling the while

Can nothing clear your mind...

Of your mistake?

Of your mistake

No one wanted...

Can nothing clear your mind of your mistake...

It's all I know.

It's really good.

-This interests you? -Ah, yes!

And you friend Nicolas,

do you see him very often?

Always, yes.

And the others?

-Which ones? -All the gang from Deauville.

Them too.

Why do you see them?

Nicolas I can understand,

but the others don't have no frenzy, no excitement.

You are right. I know nothing.

I would like to be like them.

And the blonde, do you always meet?

Marie-Laure?

Sometimes.

Hello?

Maillo 00-42?

I would like to talk to Marie-Laure, please.

It's Paul.

Ah, good morning, Paul. This is Marie-Laure's mother.

Oh, Paul, I'm so sorry. She isn't in. She just left.

Well, it doesnt matter.

Thank you, madam.

Go away, I'll meet you.

Don't come to see me here. It's forbidden.

Marie-Laure, I've been trying to talk to you by phone.

I can't talk now. I'm with my friend. Call me home.

But what you are doing?

I saw you leaving Racing.

Ah, this wont stop? Are you following me?

-Who was that guy? -A friend.

You were kissing in the car.

Listen, Paul. I wont give you any answer.

-What happen between us. -Oh, Paul, leave me alone!

-Why you acting like that? -Stop it. You're exasperating me.

Marie-Laure...

Listen, I'm late. Don't try to see me again, nor call me.

Paul,

it's noon.

Get up, your sister will come.

Mom, we already took you on vacation the whole month of August.

At Christmas it wont be possible.

I don't want to impose you to Richard all the time.

As you wish...

Did you get any money from Paul?

Some days ago he gave me 300 francs.

-Is he working? -I need to see, to believe it.

-Coffee, please. -In the pot.

Have you already set the date of baptism?

Yes. It will be on the 15th, at Richard's parents.

-Why? -They have a large dining room.

It will be more agreeable.

Are you expecting too many people?

Yes, quite.

We want to make something very impressive, you know?

We don't want commonplace.

This is madness, what is happening?

I don't know anything...

How long have you been here?

I don't know.

What's up?

You look tired.

What is going on?

Yes, yes.

Paul!

What's happening, Paul?

Come on, come on, come, my dear.

Calm down.

Stop crying. Put yourself together.

It's not that serious, come on.

Calm down, Paul.

Do not get into despair.

You're not alone.

-This pleases you? -Yes, very much.

It was the last I've made.

Do you like it?

Ah, it's fantastic!

I'll give you.

Really?

Wait, I will finish it.

Why don't you let you hair grow up?

It would be nice.

I don't dare.

It's Philippe who does want?

No, it's myself.

It seems bad,

we have endless stories.

Only with the idiots.

Yes, but there are many idiots.

E Philippe, everything all right?

Do you see him often?

There are 15 days I don't see him.

He's very busy and does not have much time.

Did he know about Marie-Laure?

He never told me anything.

He's very polite.

Wasn't him jealous?

Not at all.

What are you smiling at?

I was thinking in other thing.

What?

There was one thing my father used to say, when we were living together.

And that was...

When I was born, my mother wanted to strangle me.

Why?

She didn't want a boy

but another daughter.

May that was the reason she put me internal, since I was 6.

My princess, do you want to worry me?

Are you thinking in the pain that will you cause me?

You do not say me anything! What a reception. What an ice!

Is this way your eyes help me with my disgrace?

Speak: we are alone.

Our enemies, betrayed, while I herein talk to you, is busy the other way.

Let's enjoy the moments of this happy absence.

You are in places full of his power

These walls, sir, may have eyes;

And never, the emperor is away of these places.

And since when, milady you are so shy?

What? Your love is suffering already in the captivity?

What happen to your heart, that promised even Neron would envy our love?

Very well, Paul, it's enough for today.

It was not bad.

-Who is the next? -Me, if you allow me, mater.

-Come on, what do you gives us? -Cherubim, the scene with the Countess.

Oh, no, Bob. It has been over one month that you repeat this scene. Work another thing.

Bring me something more updating.

Paul, pay attention to you breathing,

after all, you have a little accent "faubourgien"

I need to correct that.

Or, it wont be good.

And you, my darling, give me Agnes.

You made amazing progress.

The classical is very difficult.

Keep going. I have faith on you.

I need to go. I have a meeting at 2 PM, in Reims.

-We are not having lunch together? -No, I cannot.

-Your promised me! -I know, but we never do only what we want.

Aren't you going to wait until the end of the class?

No, I cannot. I'm late.

All right, very well.

It is always the same!

Be reasonable, Paul.

Don't play the little boy.

All right. We'll meet on Saturday at the studio.

-Near 8 PM. -I will not go.

Be kind, Paul. I'll see you Saturday.

It is hard to believe.

I was standing in the counter, arranging the strawberries,

when I saw, through the trees, over there

a young man, who staring my eyes

with a humble reverence greeted me:

Hello?

Please, I would like to talk to Mr. Paul Mattei.

Yes, sure, he is a student in the course.

Ah, he just left. It does not matter.

Will you please tell him that Mr. Gurin will call him tomorrow?

Does he have class tomorrow?

From 9 till noon, perfect.

Goodbye sir, thank you very much.

Mr. Paul

I would like to talk to you. Please, come with me.

All right.

Understood.

Yes, yes.

You can count on me.

See you.

Who was it?

Paul!

I don't like that boy, Nicolas, I think I've already told you that.

I don't like his manner.

-You talk too much. You don't even know him. -Nicolas!

Mom, a great misfortune happened to him.

He just lost a close friend whom he loved very much.

Do you think you should leave home?

Yes, I guess so.

If you stay, they will have to accept.

You return to the ranks, like them.

Perhaps I'm good at that.

Don't say nonsense!

I don't care, Nicolas!

It was been this way since ever.

I will not leave.

Paul, don't despair.

I don't care!

Since I was a little boy this is my fate. I'm not lucky.

With Philippe I was well enough.

Before, nobody care less.

He was so gentle, he understood me.

I loved him very much.

Now, I'm alone again.

Let's go, Paul

I would prefer to lose my father or my mother rather than him.

You say silly things.

I promise, Nicolas, it's the truth.

-I'll leave home. -She will let you go?

She is demanding that.

So, please, do not hesitate. Leave immediately.

-Do you really think I am right? -Yes, Paul, of course you are.

And how about your course, everything is fine?

Yes, nothing bad, I believe, anyway.

For this Hippolytus is known in Greece,

So continent that he is deem'd austere.

All know my abstinence inflexible: The daylight is not purer than my heart.

How, then, could I, burning with fire profane

Yes, dastard, 'tis that very pride condemns you.

I see the odious reason of your coldness

Phaedra alone bewitch'd your shameless eyes;

Your soul, to others' charms indifferent,

Disdain'd the blameless fires of lawful love. No, father, I have hidden it too long,

This heart has not disdain'd a sacred flame.

I love, and love in truth where you forbid me...
