  • Shout you stupid.

  • It doesn't hurt.

  • Shout the like.

  • See you got the link:

  • first the legs, the arms,

  • the neck, the head, the chest and the back.

  • Lets start again.

  • - Is this one your father or your husband?- My husband.

  • When we sing the time of the cherries,

  • will be singing much better ....

  • much better ...

  • You're hurting me.

  • much better !

  • F sharp!

  • better..the mocking bird.

  • Hey, boy.

  • What's up my beauty?

  • - This Mr's looking for Venus adress. - Another one!

  • He met her in Paris.He's the painter, the big poster painter.

  • Mr Gazul.

  • You really hit the bull's eye with your poster!

  • Clarisse became Venus thanks to it for the customers.

  • - The customers?-No, not those ones!

  • A real hottie, this girl! but she burns up if you touch her!

  • - She came here only for singing. - Only?

  • It's mad how much the customers liked her!

  • Mad.

  • Bugger off, little snot!

  • Don't think i was taking personal advantage on her.

  • I never meant to.

  • Neither did she, you hear?

  • But she's such an astounding pretty girl!

  • - Yes indeed, unfortunatly! - Tartuff!

  • Give us the same.

  • - What does she do now? - She's in the photo.

  • My customers are launching a soap brand and they want

  • the same face for a new poster.

  • - Only the face? - Yes, because of her look.

  • It won't be easy because Madere closely looks after her.

  • He's a master mariner who loves her and waits for

  • the "noisy one " insurance to marry her.

  • What's that?- It's his boat.

  • It's damaged and been anchored for two years.

  • Trials.Expert's reports...

  • Meanwhile, he starves.

  • One more reason to make a deal with them.

  • Where can i find her?

  • At Madere's. On The "noisy one", at the boats cemetary..

  • Be careful, Madere isn't a common sailor.

  • He won't like you wandering around Clarisse and wanting her

  • face displayed again on every wall of France.

  • - And in every bathroom! - I've seen more..

  • Not like him! He's quite

  • an odd man.He only likes his boat, aside Clarisse.

  • With all the pianos you have sold

  • to Mr, don't you hear this one is blaring wrong?

  • Of course i do .Come on, Olympia, flatter!

  • You're wrong. Venus is not your kind of woman.

  • Very well.

  • You like this jackanapes!

  • - Absolutely.- Marjorie!

  • What's wrong, Roquefort?

  • A pin! It stung me!

  • Where at?

  • And it wants to be a world champion!

  • They all are stung by their Venus.

  • - Here baby, a Venus cocktail! - Thanks grandma.

  • What are you doing here?

  • I'm scared. I hear voices.

  • It's me. I' m training for

  • my ventriloquist show at the red corck.

  • Air ! You're letting me choke!

  • Air !

  • Turn it off. It cuts off the oxygen.

  • I can't do it Madere or

  • Ill have to stop the scuba pump!

  • Screwed-up!

  • 28 is an old age for a boat.

  • Poor old one.....

  • You're right to be sorry for me.

  • I' m sorry for the boat, stupid.

  • Don't worry this way.

  • You have no heart. You're a fool failed dog!

  • Don't you see that a boat

  • suffers, dies like a man! And talks too!

  • What is the "noisy one " telling today?

  • Nothing.She's crying.

  • - You hear? - Don't worry.

  • Stop unscrewing my head!

  • What were you doing idiot?

  • I was polishing my new show.

  • You've been polishing it for 10 years!

  • Soon, i'll be at the red cork.

  • Don't mention it anymore or i'll throw you to the sharks!

  • - What's wrong?-Nothing.

  • Only it's the fifth and bad things always happen to me then.

  • You're crazy about her, aren't you?

  • That's not saying enough, Ulysse.

  • If i look so sad since a few days, it's because i'm too happy with her.

  • Funny. Being too happy.

  • But i'm afraid we may quit.

  • I could never overcome it.

  • She's really cheering up the view!

  • Fortunately!

  • Who's that looney one coming to our place?

  • I'm waiting for a woman.

  • What woman?

  • That's my business!

  • I don't care who you're looking for but do it elsewhere!

  • - You're in a preserve. -So i'm a poacher!

  • What do you stop at the red cork for?

  • You know Madere has forbidden you to come here.

  • She must have split up with Madere.

  • What a chance!

  • If only she could sing here, we could pay the cottage cash!

  • Only her used to make money here!

  • Venus has guts but if

  • Madere finds her here, he will crush her!

  • Why don't you speak to me? Is it that serious?

  • Are you sure?

  • Come on, you must clear off here!

  • Who are you?

  • See the signature: Gazul.

  • That's me!- So what?

  • So i have a proposal for Clarisse.

  • I've been asked for her for her soap brand.

  • You sure would like her to pose in a bathtube.

  • This would be a change from the "noisy one ".

  • Cross her off your plans or i drop you!

  • What will Madere say?

  • You've heard what Barbes said. He has confirmed.

  • One year. Perhaps.

  • To think that what he liked the most were my eyes!

  • What will Madere say?

  • It was too beautiful! We loved each other too much!

  • Only in tales, it ends well.

  • One night, you go home,and,

  • because of a curse of fate,

  • the biggest love on earth suddenly

  • breaks apart like a castle of cards,

  • with no words left to the hearts...

  • I never could tell him such a thing

  • I know him.He looks like a brute, but he's the best of all.

  • He would not let his sorrow show

  • to ease mine. He would count down

  • my light days, and when it's over

  • and i can't see anymore,

  • he would want us to kill ourselves together.

  • My darling!

  • Even if i'm wrong, i don't want Madere to become a guide dog.

  • Can you see him guiding me by hands for years, like a slave?

  • Feeding me! No never!

  • How you must love him to say all this!

  • Two sisters, two cripples!

  • The blind one and the paralytic one.

  • The drunkenness of our father... What a heavy bill to pay!

  • I pay with my legs, you with your eyes.

  • - Promise me you won't... - Kill myself.

  • Put me at rest!

  • No, i won't if i can quit Madere.

  • Why quitting him right now?

  • Because later i would not be strong enough.

  • You must break off.

  • He only lives by you, for you.

  • What good reason will you give him?

  • That's my business.

  • Swear me that, whatever happens,

  • you will never tell Madere why!

  • I swear it!

  • - On my eyes? - On your eyes!

  • This will be the only memory.

  • Smoke....

  • Indigo! I'll have a room again.

  • And your singing show too?

  • No,i have a job; i want to

  • work. Alone. You understand?

  • So please book me the room 5 for tomorrow.

  • Please come Clarisse.

  • What time is it?

  • You toldd me she had to bring some edition work back from town.

  • She'll be back.

  • You don't know how jealous i am of all she does!

  • Even of the sweet portraits she fixes!

  • Jealous of postcards!?

  • Because she has to look at them too long.

  • And it ruins her eyes..

  • Gisele!

  • Back under?

  • Where is Madere?

  • Out - Too bad.I've brought him some rose seeds i sponsor.

  • - Seeds?- Gisele Rose.

  • Take it in your hanging garden, my little Ulysse.

  • My face is on the packs too.

  • Moron! Idiot!I'm suffocating!

  • What are you doing down there?

  • A new year's visit.

  • Don't you want me to come with you?

  • I'm afraid of fishtailed women.

  • It would not be of any use.

  • Right.Even at the seabed,

  • I'm in love with Clarisse.

  • Don't waste your breath.

  • Don't waste your time,my beauty.

  • Why not come up to see if i'm still your beauty?

  • In 2 years, one changes his mind.

  • You didn't mind asking anybody to take me in your arms me then.

  • Remember Madere, you were

  • a real sailor then, a real traveler, like me.

  • Now i have all i need in port.

  • You sound like it.You're making yourself into a husband.

  • That's it. When i have received

  • my boat's insurance, i will marry Clarisse.

  • I can't believe it, my little Madere.

  • You're hard of hearing, my little Gisele.

  • At least, tell me what's the plan behind it.

  • I'm putting in a mine..

  • I wouldn't dare come home, if i were you.

  • Your eyes are hurting, darling.

  • Don't worry, here they are!

  • He's been really worrying.

  • You're going to stifle her!

  • My love, how pale you are!

  • Come diner quick.

  • Mireille, don't you say goodbye to your little Ulysse?

  • Goddnight.

  • What a hurry!

  • Theres' going to be a heavy shower.

  • I've been making up so many things.

  • Now that you're here, it's gone.

  • You're shaking! Are you cold? You must be hungry.

  • Is the dinner ready Mireille?

  • You both look like you have cried.

  • You see the barometer, such a depression is quite rare.

  • Listen to the "noisy one ":

  • She sounds like she wants to leave.

  • Drop the anchors, Ulysse!

  • Everything in life wants to leave.

  • That's why we must moor one another,

  • as long as we like each other and we're still young.

  • So is hapiness: it's so short,

  • already over at the time we're speaking about it.

  • It's golden like the fishermen oars at the sunset.

  • Why are you looking at me this way,

  • as if you have never seen me before?

  • You're blurring me.

  • What beautiful eyes!

  • To think i fell in love with you because of your eyes!

  • Shut up!

  • Come to diner. - Ain't hungry.

  • You'll leave us alone after diner.

  • We'll rehearse Ulysse show in my cabin after diner.

  • - Very good idea. So, when

  • do you start at the horrible pub?

  • When it's ok of course.

  • I'll need your advice on the makeup Clarisse.

  • I'm still undecided on Grock or on Chaplin, or better.

  • All right, save your muddle for the "red cork".

  • What's wrong with you?

  • You didn't eat nor speak at all.

  • Are you afraid of the thunderstorm?

  • This mournful buoy which pierces our ears,

  • shan't it ever stop?

  • Touch my heart. You see i'm always

  • deeply moved when i stand next to you.

  • I feel like crying and laughing.

  • To prove my love to you,

  • i'm ready to do the most difficult thing in the world .

  • Listen: if you're still so jealous

  • of my boat, i'm ready to leave it to live in town with you.

  • Why are you crying?

  • Come and see Ulysse. You're fond of his tricks.

  • You're his only audience. Come.

  • That's not it?

  • Yes, it is very good.

  • Come, let's leave them alone.

  • Nothing in this hat!

  • What is this?

  • This idiot imitates me.

  • Answer me, is it her?

  • You showed her in here?

  • I'd be very surprise if she comes back.

  • Between the cigarettes and the redheaded,

  • you have the choice. - What do you mean?

  • - That you're free. - Free?

  • Did i ask you where you spent your afternoon?

  • I can tell you, if you're interested : at the red cork.

  • - Repeat!- At the red cork.

  • You're putting me on?

  • No, it's about soap.

  • I get it.

  • Give me that wet hat!

  • - What about the rabbit? - Give it!

  • Return it too your friend, the painter.

  • My friend painter?

  • Don't be a fool. You know well whose hat it is!

  • Yes, so what?

  • So you want to start your old job again?

  • You're one prophet tonight.

  • It's unbelievable all that i'm guessing.

  • You guess it all but get nothing out of it.

  • Get that i got cheated about this painter?

  • Men always find some ridiculous word when they get angry.

  • Is it the "cheat" word which makes me so ridiculous?

  • Good guess!

  • You're only testing me, aren't you?

  • Look at me. You've always sweared to me

  • that there was nothing between you and Gazul.

  • You have little memory.

  • So i imagine it's the same with the others too?

  • Imagine !

  • Has she gone crazy?

  • Let him alone or he'll get even more mad.

  • You have enough of your life with me!

  • Why force me to tell you?

  • Go back with this grotesque dummy i threw into the water!

  • Now it's my turn?

  • I'd fear to dirty the port's water even more!

  • It must not be your first affair since you've met him!

  • - Come on speak. - Questionning me is relieving you.

  • You want the names of my affairs. The names, the ratings,

  • i have a notebook under my pillow..

  • No, I remember that Mireille threw it into the water.

  • This goody-goody knows all about it too!

  • You were her partner too!

  • Don't go in!

  • Are you gonna lock me in here?

  • Yes. Until i' m up to meet Gisele again.

  • Why not?

  • Her face isn't lying around

  • every smockers' pockets like yours!

  • She's simply the godmother of the roses you 're smelling.

  • I don't think she has become

  • the lover of the painter who sketched

  • her portrait on all the seeds packets.

  • Bitch!

  • Leave them alone.She really deserves it!

  • I want to kill you!

  • Enough!

  • He's waiting for you at the red cork.

  • - Yes tomorrow! - Don't you realise your crime?

  • Throw me out! Can't you see i can't

  • stand it anymore!?

  • My little darling, does it hurt?

  • I swear she did nothing wrong!

  • Don't listen to her. She likes

  • her small life here. She's lying;

  • she knows all about it.

  • PLease Madère, listen to me.

  • ?

  • Mireille!Throw her out too.

  • Yes, leave too!

  • Where are you going?

  • She's seen enough of us, me,

  • the "noisy one ", and your dirty face.

  • She needs something new and

  • she's gonna get it.

  • Everybody splits. I want to be alone!

  • My darling.

  • I could not stand more.

  • I wanted so much to fling

  • myself around his neck, to kiss him, to shout at him :

  • " All this ain't true, my love!".

  • This woman will never know what i 've done for her.

  • How could you? Your courage scares me.

  • To think i almost made him

  • slowly forget about his boat to be his wife.

  • Shut up!

  • My love.

  • I 'm exhausted!

  • - Are you still sure? - More than ever.

  • I wrapped all the edition equipment.

  • Now that it's ready,

  • leave and i'll take it up on the deck.

  • Hurry up.

  • He must not see you here again.

  • If he does, you're in mortal danger.

  • I stay on the boat I'lll watch him.

  • Leave. Yes she's here, but

  • it's not a reason why to

  • show her your roses faces!

  • Leave.She wants peace!

  • It's been really too quiet since you left!

  • You're one woman of a kind, Venus, for the customers.

  • Call me Clarisse.

  • It's a nun's name.

  • You said it right.

  • I'll leave like an ermit here.

  • I've a little spare edition job to do.

  • I must spare a little money for a long trip.

  • - A trip?- Yes , a long night trip.

  • - A night trip? - Please indigo, stop

  • asking me questions and tell noone that i'm here.

  • - You're not the same Venus. - Clarisse please.

  • That has to be Madere!

  • Be careful!

  • Don't worry for him.

  • He won't step in here anymore.

  • I didn't do anything cause...

  • You see how i can take it!

  • Take that, that'll teach you to protect the virtue flowers!

  • I came to take care of the roses

  • and to help you too because i know ...

  • Are you gonna throw me out again?

  • - No, i'm gonna leave.- Where?

  • To the edge of the world. On a long haul ship, any ship...

  • Take me with you!

  • I'm threw with women. I'm fed up with love , affection.

  • You're just as a liar as the others.

  • You get on my nerves too.

  • Music is over. I want freedom, loneliness....peace!

  • Get my stuff ready, i split.

  • - You won't let the "noisy one " down? - I split!

  • If you win your suit and get the insurance we can fix it .

  • - You're nice but i'm fed up, i split! - Come on.

  • He may not like it but it was high time i came.

  • A few hours more,and we'd miss our hapiness together.

  • - So you think that him and you... - I'm sure of it.

  • I change the record.

  • Take her for singing. Only this could save her.

  • She strains her eyes with these stupid photos.

  • You know i'd love too, that my customers are crazy for her,

  • and that my cafe is a new club when she performs.

  • I'll do all i can to help you.

  • Nice girl.

  • Venus.... Clarisse...

  • I've settled many maritime insurance cases but it's the first

  • time i submit a fortune to a neurasthenic of your kind!

  • You misscall me a love girl, a hell girl,

  • earthmen, i won't answer,

  • i love the sea.

  • All the skies lay in my chest, and all the birds in my voice,

  • to the fascinated ones, my eyes are like rafts.

  • Desires prowl around me, but the furious

  • ocean closes its emerald field over the farewell water.

  • Marked by the salty water of his mouth,

  • I love the sea.

  • This is talent. This is a temperament.

  • - Are all nights like this one? - For a month.

  • - You must be happy. - Rather overcame with joy!

  • Marceline, tell her i offer her some bubbly.

  • She's not free..

  • Bubbly!? Tonight, she's drinking Champagne with Shangai.

  • Only the big ones are privileged, here like anywhere else.

  • You've been warned: she won't drink with Shangai nor the voyeur.

  • What's happening?

  • Give me a hand, guys.

  • What a bad luck, we've been making 3000 a night!

  • Move along.

  • Who's gonna stand in for Venus off the cuff?

  • Sensational comebak of Venus with her new repertoire.

  • Place your bets, no more bets.

  • In a very, very small village near Bastia,

  • there was a sweet good girl, the bella rosetta.

  • When she appeared at the churchplace on sunday,

  • arching her hips , dark hair and white dress,

  • every men said:

  • Bella rosetta you're giving us the risetta,

  • But Rosette, though she was coquette,

  • would not answer back.

  • Cause the pretty Rosette had only one crazy dream:

  • to be the Bastia young virtuous girl.

  • No one must come in. She needs some air now.

  • - Can she sing tomorrow? - Of course.

  • Do the announcement. He's dead deaf.

  • The dream is ending....

  • Before my conjuring show,

  • i must tell you on behalf of the direction, that

  • my comrade Venus can't do the second part of her show.

  • Don't worry. The sudden turn she has suffered announces ...

  • ...the coming...

  • Go ahead talker!

  • Talkers may be conjurors, but conjurors ain't talkers.

  • Out with it !

  • - That's it ! The birth.. - In happiness...!

  • I never thought one could be so happy.

  • How dumb we are. Either we feel

  • joy or pain, it's the same, we're still crying.

  • What are you going to do now?

  • You're asking me!? Telling it to Madere.

  • He hoped for it so much, that he must know.

  • That would be the last straw if he doubts it!

  • I'm sure he'll believe you.

  • How mad it was to leave him!

  • No i was right because i

  • was alone but now i owe him the truth.

  • With the child between you two, you'll see...

  • Let's imagine the worst:

  • even blind; with him you'll be so happy.

  • A blind woman would not

  • be a mother. A father would

  • be needed to take my place.

  • Then we could marry.

  • Marry ! I' m feeling alive when i say this word.

  • When the baby is here and you can watch him....I mean....

  • What came in your mind?

  • Forgive me, i didn't have the

  • same terrible thought you've just had.

  • Don't cry. I'm sure You'll see

  • your litle boy. It'd be too unfair

  • ..and your sight is getting better.

  • We'll call Venus' son Cupidon!

  • If it's a girl, it'll be Violette!

  • It must be Ulysse. He spoils everything, even success.

  • My act may be a little too subtle for your stage.

  • - Did you have stage fright? - No,only at the first tomato.

  • Poor Ulysse, Audience doesn't understand magic anymore.

  • - Thanks. - I feel grateful to all who make me feel

  • life isn't the way i see it. Even with tricks.

  • What happened?

  • Trumpets are over. It's a shame. I lost the pigeon.

  • Stupid! Here's to Violette!

  • Nasty animal!

  • No matter, we'll eat it with peas.

  • What's wrong with these lyrics writers

  • who don't think life is marvellous

  • Who are you waiting for this morning?

  • I won't tell you cause i'm superstious.

  • I hope for the greatest joy of my life.

  • You're glowing with hapiness.

  • - That's nothing compared to what's next.- Next?

  • - Now! Here she comes?? - Who? - Mireille.

  • - So? - He left on the "oasis"

  • yesterday for a one year long trip on the pacific ocean.

  • - Was he alone? - Yes of course.

  • It's funny that this woman

  • hasn't come out of her lux cabin once.

  • Not even at the port of call.

  • Officers don't know who she is.

  • The steward tipped me off that she goes to Melbourne.

  • - May be she's a spy? - They say she's gorgeous.

  • I want a report on the hold men'card games.

  • The oasis is not a club! The stockroom is not a cafeteria!

  • - You have changed Madere. - Gisele!

  • Won't you come in? Are you afraid of me? - No. I only pity you.

  • Being so foolish with you, i don't mind being insulted.

  • You'll be filled with it, and thanks for the sea companies.

  • - Excuse me? - It was very kind of you

  • to pay for a lux cabin only for my beautiful eyes.

  • - But it's a flop? - Which means?

  • That i' m begging you not to talk to me anymore.

  • Boor!

  • Tell the captain i'm getting off at the next stop.

  • I want to go back to France. There's no more sense to my journey.

  • The doctor told you not to weary your eyes.

  • You want to know about the stops?

  • You cant read. It's written too small.

  • Colombo, Singapour.

  • It's as if i could see the water between us.

  • It seems far away but time goes fast.

  • I'm sure he's thinking of you.

  • If only it was true.

  • Let's hope i can see my baby when he's born.

  • Whatever you want...

  • You have a cigarette?

  • I saw the woman of the fifth today.

  • Very lovely. She's leaving us at the next stop.

  • Keep the packet lieutenant.

  • It's time to rest.

  • You 're getting weary by watching at

  • Violette for hours and there's too much light in here.

  • Let me watch a little more, It feels so good watching her.

  • How much she looks like him!

  • How happy he'll be too!

  • May i hold Violette?

  • I'll give her you back as soon as the 'oasis' is here.

  • She won't even hand me her.

  • Lay on me, you're so pale.

  • She has not slept for three nights.

  • I got it all set up in my mind:

  • the five of us will live on the "noisy one " ..

  • - No, no..- Here comes the oasis!

  • I can see him! Here he comes!

  • It's still everywhere.

  • The whole port was already after her before we left.

  • Don't talk about her anymore.

  • - You know i crossed her off. - A bit of spleen?

  • Yeah, the home's air, you know, it moves

  • Then let's not pass by the "noisy one ".

  • No way, i want to know if she's still at the same place.

  • You swore not to talk to me about her anymore...and

  • i'm so anxious to visit this "the Arabian Nights" palace you rented.

  • Here everything is in glass-paper, candy like , ridiculous.

  • No it's not. Of course,

  • it's far from the "noisy one " and the pubs of the port.

  • - You really needed a leash. - A leash?

  • Clarisse?

  • I'm gonna see her, alone.

  • I forbid you to see this singer at the bawling pub.

  • You're through with her. You promised me.

  • This way, madam.

  • Have a seat.

  • - Cigarette? - I stopped smoking this brand.Thanks.

  • I'm not here to soften you. Life is life.

  • But you understand what i mean, as delicate as it may be.

  • May i go ahead of your explanations?

  • Why not.

  • It's you who let me know you wished to get rid off

  • the "noisy one " and its owner. - Yes, i did.

  • I didn't interfere in your relationships before you let me do.

  • Today i 'm asking you to do the same with us.

  • It's far out.

  • You only gave in to your desire.

  • I'm sure you did.

  • Today it's my turn.

  • I don't get it.

  • I have to marry Madere.

  • There are a lot of ways to persuade you.

  • What do you mean, "no"?

  • Don't force me to...- Too late, madame.

  • - Married.- 10 months ago, in the French indies, at Karikal.

  • Then you'll divorce. - Madere won't...

  • Yes he will, cause i wrote to him.

  • He torn your letters up without reading it.

  • Then you don't know that...

  • What 's this new pressure you 're trying to put on me?

  • - Your child ! - Our child.

  • So now i understand. You didn't know.

  • - Are you happy? - Very happy.

  • Forgive me for hurting you,

  • but promise me not to see him again.

  • I'm sure you don't want to destroy such a happiness,

  • which took so many years of patience to build up.

  • Each one our turn.

  • Don't start a new drama.

  • That's my daughter's life and mine

  • that you hold in your hands.

  • Your litttle daughter...

  • - Can i rely on you? - You have nothing to fear from me.

  • What happened?

  • People won't believe you when misery goes beyond their habits.

  • Didn't you explain them everything?

  • No because... Madere is a new man.

  • He was here. I'm sure of it.

  • He didn't even show himself.

  • He forgot us all, even the "noisy one ".

  • I told you. Stop thinking about it!

  • Let's make him feel we're his martyrs.

  • Com'on, have some guts!

  • And Ulysse will explain to them.

  • What did the doctor say?

  • Not much...words.

  • Are you back at the red cork tomorrow?

  • How else? We're broke!

  • I'm no good to you.I'm a burden

  • to you with my bad legs.

  • Shut up. I would not have stayed alive without you.

  • Hi girls! A present for Violette.

  • How wonderful !

  • For our future star Violette. Your friends from the red cork.

  • How nice!

  • Mireille, see how much she looks like Violette!

  • Indeed!

  • What a coincidence !

  • - What are you doing? - I'm looking at her.

  • It's hard to believe how much i missed her.

  • That's what i thought : you're back with us.

  • No way. I'm married.

  • - Are you happy? - I'm fine.

  • Pleasure and happiness ain't the same.

  • I have my child too.

  • Clarisse has her own child too.

  • What do you mean?

  • I don't mean it. I'm telling you. i'm shouting it to you.

  • You're the father!

  • Haven't you ever asked yourself why she is called Venus?

  • So what. There's a star too with this name.

  • But I haven't got my head in the clouds.

  • Didn't she cheat on me a thousand times?

  • She told me herself.

  • Her sister Mireille was in it. So leave me alone!

  • Listen, Madere...

  • Disn't she sing at the red cork before and after i had left?

  • I have something more to tell you.

  • She's awfully unhappy because...

  • Again: wasn't she at the red cork after i left?

  • - Of course but.... - So It's clear.

  • Let's find out together :

  • Why not Gazul?

  • You're hurting me.

  • You're right Ulysse: I'm a poor fool.

  • If Venus had a child,

  • let's not find the father; he has too many.

  • - Couldn't she say so about yours? - Beat it or...

  • Wait... you said very unhappy?

  • You should have said it first. I know life and i have a heart.

  • For her.

  • Keep your money.

  • Clarisse was right.

  • There's an epidemy of diphteria.

  • The doctor advises you to send

  • the little one to the mountains.

  • Do as he said.

  • Stunning come-back of Venus with her new repertoire

  • In a very, very small village

  • near Bastia,

  • there was a sweet good girl,

  • the bella rosetta.

  • When she appeared

  • At the churchplace on sunday,

  • arching her hips ,

  • dark hair and white dress,

  • every men said:

  • Bella rosetta you're giving us the risetta,

  • But Rosette, though she was coquette,

  • would not answer back.

  • Cause the pretty Rosette

  • had only one crazy dream:

  • to be the Bastia young virtuous girl.

  • You know i've been a carpenter

  • since 1926 and wood is getting unaffordable.

  • Is it still far?

  • No, you can see the unloading dock of the zone

  • - Have a light?- Yes.

  • It's a rude stroll .

  • It gets you very hungry.

  • - Terrible! - Poor woman.

  • What are you thinking about?

  • That there was no man near Clarisse in the cortege.

  • - So? - Nothing. It's just a fact.

  • I have something to tell you.

  • Let's go outside then.

  • Don't worry for scandal.

  • It's about Clarisse, not me.

  • Sorry for the odd question, but i need an answer:

  • what kind of life has Clarisse had

  • since she went back to the red cork?

  • A perfect life.Beyond reproach.

  • - Really? - I swear on this one.

  • She wants to be left alone.

  • I'm afraid.

  • It's only her reaction.She's got nothing to fear.

  • We're here.

  • Watch this!

  • What is she doing?

  • She's puting Violette's clothes on the doll.

  • What's going on in her poor head?

  • I understand. Dead children are much more alive than the others.

  • - It's still a presence for her. - A presence?

  • Is the Madonna you prey something more

  • than a wooden or plaster statue?

  • Is the picture of a gone beloved that you kiss

  • something more than a piece of card?

  • There's no explanation to it. You feel it.

  • Men can't understand .

  • - Clarisse. - Call me Venus.

  • From now on, Clarisse is dead.

  • We're all gonna go away from here.

  • Go away. What for? What about the red cork?

  • Not after this mourning?

  • There's no mourning for the unhappy ones.

  • I wanna work to eat. I'll sing tomorrow.

  • - You can't! - Tell Indigo to announce the show.

  • What are you waiting for? Are you deaf?

  • Leave her alone, Ulysse. Come.

  • - You're going out? - Yes

  • You're still in love with this poor woman.

  • What are you talking about?

  • - Do you want to see the baby?- No.

  • - You! - PLease - Go away.

  • Let me talk to you.

  • There's something inexplicable and

  • terryfying in what has happened to us.

  • - Tell me clarisse.- Too late!

  • - Go away. - I beg you. One word only.

  • I've come humble, submissive,ready to fix.

  • Too late.

  • She's dead. There's nothing left to fix.

  • Was she our child?

  • No, fool, a thousand times no!

  • You're shaking. Your eyes disagree with your words.

  • So what now?

  • Why didn't you tell me? I don't understand!

  • Don't be so curious, you'd do two more victims.

  • Go away, you still have something to fight for !

  • Can't you see i've never stopped loving you,

  • suffering for you.

  • Too bad.She took your name, your image and all the love

  • i still had for you in the grave.

  • Today it's all over. Nothing will make me change.

  • I don't want to see you anymore, to hear from you or the sound

  • of your voice. To me, you died with her.

  • Go Madere, The "noisy one "doesn't like the men who cry.

  • She doesn't want you either.

  • You're not home anymore. Go.

  • Don't you touch me!

  • You see i don't even cry.

  • Go!

  • Men i hate you....

  • What guts she has!

  • The day after such a terrible day.

  • She's one of a kind.She refused to be

  • stood in for. I'm still flabbergasted.

  • ?

  • ?

  • ?

  • We're here to drink together.

  • Pleasure has had us gathered.

  • I don't want your mercy.

  • Men i hate you.

  • What are we for you in the end?

  • A poor thing called a beast of pleasure.

  • You never show a single move,

  • a single nice attention.

  • You all only despise us to better

  • demean us.

  • And when i sing i think

  • of you whom i don't care for;

  • but your offenses and insults

  • break against our pride.

  • Men i hate you.

  • For ever and ever we 've always been to you

  • the eternal beast of burden,

  • forever.

  • Good night.

  • Great lyrics. How true!

  • Do not trust men, the filthy men!

  • Who wrote this masterpiece?

  • I did, dove.

  • My darling...

  • - Where are you going? - Am i asking you?

  • Feel the edge of the sidewalk with your sticks. Don't be

  • afraid to move forward.

  • Keep your dog on the right.

  • Listen to my voice....

  • I talked to the director about you. You should do movies.

  • Don't be stupid, Lucien. You know i'm married.

  • Married.....

  • Mireille! It's you?

  • What's wrong darling?

  • Answer me : you were asleep and i woke you up? It's night, isn't it?

  • What's wrong? Yes Clarisse, it is.

  • Come closer. I see you like in a whirl.

  • Turn on the light, one can't see.

  • Yes.

  • At least a bit of night to take a breath.

  • I won't see anymore all these ugliness of life,

  • all these hard and hostile things to me,

  • all these men faces staring at me with their ugliest thoughts,

  • I'll live with my memories, with your

  • image, Mireille, and Violet's one.

  • My two darlings.

  • I'm gonna settle down in my darkness like a convalescent.

  • I'll be able to live backwards.

  • I have so many things of mine to look at.

  • Mireille, answer me me. Where are you?

  • Clarisse

  • - What are you doing? - You see, i'm playing blind man's bluff.

  • Sorry i had to leave. I couldn't stand this

  • nightmare atmosphere anymore.

  • This doll at the table everyday!

  • It wrecks my heart.

  • Watch!

  • What the pain can make up! Unbelievable.

  • She acts as if it was Violet.

  • She can't do without it. It's her only

  • consolation, her lifesaver.

  • Watch, she's rocking it!

  • When they suffer too much, men are like children.

  • We should try to take her mind off, else...

  • Nothing on this boat could cure her.

  • Here misery and sadness stick into your skin.

  • She needs to be taken elsewhere...Unless....

  • Yes?!

  • What if Madere comes back?

  • She would kill him!

  • Only her hate for him lie her to the world.

  • Come Ulysse,let's get back in.

  • Here come Juliette and Romeo.

  • I must go home, the storm is coming.

  • Listen !

  • Something is going to happen.

  • The ship is singing the same song

  • as the year we left.

  • Please go to bed.

  • You remember, Mireille, this

  • terrible minute when Madere said about Gisele

  • "Her face isn't lying around

  • every smockers' pockets like yours!",

  • when he yelled at me " Bitch!

  • i want to kill you!"

  • I can still see his face!

  • Someone has come in.

  • The wind just took it away.

  • Oh the wind...

  • I'm right on the deck

  • to lock the hinged sections.

  • What's going on?

  • Didn't you know that

  • she was blind?- Blind!?- Yes.

  • You behaved like

  • a scoundrel with us but you must

  • know the truth.

  • Here lay down quietly.

  • Don't be nervous.

  • Rather listen to the rehearsal

  • of my musical show.

  • Now you know. She lied to you

  • so that you don't suffer.

  • She's blind, our child is dead,

  • and i knew nothing!

  • Guessed nothing, understood nothing.

  • My sister is a saint Madere.

  • She loved you like nobody

  • has ever loved a man.

  • Why?! Why is life always like

  • a bitch by destroying the best she makes ?

  • Your poor eyes. It's so unfair.

  • I put a world between us

  • because of my stupid pride.

  • Now that i'm back, it's too late.

  • I'm a criminal.

  • Yes, it's too late.

  • Now she hates you.

  • You'd wake her pain up.

  • She's fed up. At least,

  • let her died quietly.

  • Go away !

  • Forgiveness....Redemtion...

  • Too late.The harm is done.

  • I only have to go dying elsewhere.

  • I'm not worthy of ending

  • near her, here on my boat.

  • What do you think, my old "noisy one " ?

  • You don't even know me anymore.

  • Listen Mireille. The ship is talking!

  • "Don't go, don't go"

  • Don't go Madere. There's work for you here.

  • Clarisse is asleep. Come i have to talk to you.

  • What are you doing?

  • I've just put myself in my new character's shoes.

  • -Pierrot? -Only pierrot can find

  • the path to happiness.

  • -I've found yours.- Ours?

  • You're mad as usual.

  • Yes. Mad with joy.

  • While playing ocarina sooner,

  • i had Ulysse's brightest idea, the one which will make him famous.

  • Laughing at us in such a time!

  • No, my idea is going to

  • turn everything upside down here.

  • If only the new casino's director knew about it...

  • But it's not acting!

  • You're right.

  • But what i've missed in acting, i'm gonna make it in real life.

  • After such a storm in our life,

  • what can you still hope for?

  • The rainbow ! Don't you want her

  • to let you stay?

  • Don't you want your wife back and make her happy again?

  • How could you have her see again?

  • How could you restore this misery,

  • give back life to this boat?

  • It's an easy one if you listen to me carefully.

  • After all, lunatics happen to have extraordinary ideas.

  • We're listening.

  • Here's my plan.

  • It is when there's no hope left that you must not despair of anything.

  • Now that you know why, please welcome him.

  • He's such a charming man.

  • He used to go see you at the red cork but never dared...

  • What's his name?

  • François De Rue-Pierre.

  • He's very rich.

  • Only the first contact shall be painful.

  • Lower your voice and i'll take care of the rest.

  • Don't be afraid, come on.

  • Why does he want to see me? To do a good deed?

  • He has his poors in the neighborhood.

  • No, only admiration made him come here.

  • I don't like this kind of courtesy call very much.

  • I'm going to welcome him.

  • He's a shy guy, almost silent. Don't ask im too

  • many questions.

  • He blushes like a girl.

  • He really looks as if he has suffered a lot too.

  • How is he?

  • Handsome but not my kind. You'd like him a lot.

  • Beware Mr De Rue-Pierre. Your head.

  • How kind of you to welcome me.

  • This voice, Mireille!

  • What's wrong Clarisse?

  • Madere!

  • He's gone again last week with Gisele.

  • - So much the better. With his daughter too? - I don't know.

  • I'm sorry Mr, your voice reminds me a little of..

  • You're not mistaken one's voice for the first time. Don't you

  • remember about Ulysse's voice? - Yes, you're right.

  • When you keep recalling the same memories...

  • But don't be afraid of me.

  • I'd feel much less embarassed if you accept these..

  • Flowers! I can't!

  • I wish you accepted something much more embarassing.

  • What is it?

  • My friendship.

  • I don't say no.

  • See you soon Mr.

  • What an educated and tactful man!

  • Contrary to Madere!

  • What's his kind exactly?

  • A nice face. He looks like a prince.

  • I feel much better after this visit.

  • You won the first round!

  • I ' m not afraid of loosing the last one.

  • I have too much grief and joy at the same time.

  • Such a scene at the new casino theater..

  • I'd have messed it up.

  • If all divorces were like that, glaziers would be millionaires.

  • Theres' not even one clean shirt left for Mr.

  • I love to feel the sun on my skin.

  • Mr has no money left.

  • That's why she left.

  • It doesn't matter, i'm used to it.

  • I've never seen Mr so happy in such a bad time.

  • You're absolutly right !

  • Look Ulysse!

  • The rainbow, as you said.

  • What a sublime comedy!

  • You see , Clarisse, you should not think about this man anymore,

  • since he behaved so badly.

  • If you want us to keep getting along, let me dwell on

  • the hate i feel for Madere.

  • As you like. But i don't like

  • to hear you saying you'd kill him.

  • - Why? - For no reason but i loath any violence.

  • - You're not like him. - A cigarette?

  • You saw her hand touching his while she took the cigarette?

  • He was afraid, see the beads of sweat standing on his brow.

  • They are becoming inseparable.

  • You really did a wonderful job!

  • If only you could see me at the new casino...

  • Hearts!

  • All is ready ! Ulysse wants the boat 's horn to be the signal if it's ok.

  • What's happening on the "noisy one "?

  • The big hit today,

  • their first lunch together , and Jeanette 's coming!

  • I only fear that the child makes everything crumble away .

  • No Ulysse planned it really fine and he's the magicians' king!

  • When he has a blind audience !

  • I personally sent a turkey.

  • On everybody's behalf of course.

  • Isn't the coverlet for a tablecloth too cheap?

  • Not at all the table is marvellous!

  • Come in!

  • She looks even more beautifull after all these dramas.

  • Suffering has to be used to something.

  • You're so beautiful today.

  • A little too much powder may be..

  • Must be when i patted on my powder puff.

  • You little coquette...

  • A little Porto?

  • - You should let me...- What?

  • - Don't get angry. -Go on.

  • take the doll away .

  • He may find it strange that..

  • Never! Violette will stay

  • here until death comes.

  • I swore it to myself.

  • Only fools will find it strange.

  • Mr De Ruepierre will understand if he 's hearted enough.

  • What a good cooking smell Clarisse!

  • It's a set of odd glasses.

  • Mr De Ruepierre will offer us a set of baccarat crystal.

  • I'm sorry you made such a great effort for me.

  • She did her best to please you.

  • They'll make you do the washing soon believe me!

  • I was only casually joking.

  • Let's start!

  • An olive?

  • This is calf's head. May i?

  • Be careful Ulysse, you're pouring wine in the sauce.

  • Violette, what would you have thought of such a meal?

  • Violette !

  • What's going on?

  • I'm sorry i took the liberty of bringing

  • my daughter without asking you.

  • You daughter?!

  • Mr is alone in life and he has a charming

  • little daughter whom he loves.

  • Wouldn't you like my child to stand

  • in for your doll sometimes?

  • You'd see your daughter alive in her and she would

  • take you for her mother whom she needs so much.

  • What's your name?

  • - Here it is! - My love.

  • This unexpected quitness in Clarisse's

  • life will make her so much good!

  • She might see again!

  • Later with some cures...the Doctor told me so this morning!

  • You're all retarded (?)

  • This guy is a genius!

  • What is he doing?

  • He's planning for the week.

  • He's got brains !

  • Too bad he loses them too often.

  • "The new manners"

  • Is it Mireille's part?

  • So she's still in it?

  • Of course, she's the pearl of the depths.

  • And you play the oyster !

  • Don't let her go.

  • I a miserable little actor and....

  • You're both disinherited

  • so you might well...

  • Don't talk crazy please!

  • Where did you get the idea of making this

  • "golden" trip for Clarisse?

  • Once she told me in her dressing room :

  • "I feel grateful to everybody who

  • tries to show me that life isn't like

  • how i see it. Even with tricks !"

  • - So...- You, Pierrot...

  • You've had a few joyful days

  • and now again, you're neurasthenic.

  • The memories of this boat

  • are depressing you.

  • You should make a trip.

  • Say yes dear.

  • You're going to come with me

  • on my yacht anchored at the port.

  • In a while, we may go on a trip,

  • in Egypt, in the Indies.

  • Everywhere you wish!

  • I'll tell you about all the countries we're going to.

  • I'll translate you every languages.

  • In Honolulu, I'll teach you the kulele!

  • - Do you accept? - Oh yes.

  • Here are your parts.

  • Are we going to play?

  • Of course. We're playing The comedy of

  • happiness to Clarisse. - Happiness to Venus.

  • - I can't read. - Ok explain him.

  • I'm Chinese.

  • Sort it out.

  • What are you going to play? Later, later.

  • We're going to make a first class

  • artificial paradise for her.

  • Everybody on the deck is

  • at your disposal.

  • Yesterday, i collected 300 francs

  • from the customers.

  • - See this. - All bought at the flea market!

  • Here they come!

  • The trunks in the launch,

  • Mireille and Ulysse on the other boat.

  • Be careful with Jeanette !

  • - Are you happy to go? - Oh yes!

  • My old "noisy one ", will we come back?

  • Indigo, Rocquefort, Charlot, let's go!

  • Only five minutes to transform the "noisy one "!

  • You'll take care of the noises and steerage imitation.

  • Cybille, you will make single priced orientals

  • along with your mobile bazaar and your arabians songs.

  • Take away the hammock.

  • The table.The chairs.

  • Be carefull! Don't damage the boat!

  • This is Gisele's perfume. You have a whole stock of it!

  • What about this carpet. Only 25 fr and it looks like Persian!

  • One last touch. That's it!

  • - It's empty! - For Clarisse, there will be

  • porcelain flowers from the kabyle emir in it.

  • Hurry up, they're coming!

  • Don't forget that now you're all sailors of the Primrose.

  • Ulysse, all's ready on the deck!

  • Haul down the ropes!

  • - Is it here? - The Primrose. 200 tons.

  • You'll be here at home, dear madam.

  • Cross the cable lugs!

  • - Music!? - I always have my orchestra aboard,

  • and i thought that in order to welcome you with more dignity.....

  • I hope you'll have many more

  • surprises on the Primrose.

  • At attention!

  • I've had it made into a Pergola.

  • - Marvelous! - Take a sit.

  • Here the young one!

  • Drink for the crew!

  • What will you have?

  • Malico! Saumur! Medoc!

  • .......Ricard!

  • A glass of Champagne.

  • A bit of Champagne!

  • This is great!

  • There's all you need!

  • Your trick of ventriloquism. Now!

  • Duvernay.

  • Enough, enough.

  • What i'm most afraid of is

  • that huge 1000 tons fridge stuck to the "noisy one " like a leech!

  • She'll know she hasn't moved just by hanging her hand.

  • Don't worry, Ulysse will find an explanation.

  • Lots of Champagne!

  • Chef, what's the count's meal today?

  • Meal of the day for the Count ! Salmon or thrushes?

  • What about the pastries?

  • The cream puffs and the flans are ready.

  • What's the steerage to get out of the port?

  • Ready to cast off!

  • Start the pulley's sheave!

  • Cut the strop's basis!

  • What's ahead of us, Mireille?

  • A thousand of masts tangled together,

  • a forest of the most beautiful yachts.

  • everything is quivering, fluttering : the multicolore

  • banners, the sparkling coppers, the superb sailors in their uniforme

  • for you and, as far as the eye can, see the sea with thousands of

  • ships and gulls playing hide and seek.

  • It's beautiful!

  • What a wonderful journey ahead of us, darling !

  • I feel so happy though i see nothing.

  • It must be quite marvelous for you!

  • Marvelous, darling.

  • I'm filled with joy.

  • We are reaching the port entry

  • and going to cast anchor for the night.

  • - Ready? - Ready.

  • Full steam ahead!

  • Make it fast!

  • Pull down the tackles!

  • What an air! This smoky tar smell!

  • How different from the "noisy one "!

  • I feel like i live again!

  • - What's wrong?- Where is he going?

  • He's rushing orders to an officer.

  • She's let her hand in mine!

  • - So what?- Don't you understand? - No

  • Now i'm jealous of Mr Deruepierre!

  • I didn't foresee that!

  • You're getting totally crazy!

  • I can't act anymore. It hurts me too much.

  • All the time, i feel like shouting : " you're being fooled!"

  • Don't you see that you're giving

  • Clarisse the real hapiness for the first time maybe.

  • It's like stealing to me.

  • Fool, your vanity's speaking!

  • You're jealous, as you said!

  • Come on, don't you lose your nerve!

  • Let's show around her cabine.

  • A true Arabian Nights tale.

  • A general round of drinks!

  • It's been a hard work with lots of rehearsal.

  • Now it's over.

  • Clarise is in it up to the heart. She swims in joy.

  • - And Madère? - In his hapiness rebuilding, he put all his

  • strengh and tenderness, on the go night and day.

  • I'm moved to tears.

  • It is such a technical miracle,

  • that everybody thinks he is on the primrose sailing towards Aden!

  • - A still journey. - True!

  • Everything's set sharp like in a fairyland at the Chatelet theater.

  • Everybody takes his turn and the musicians are exhausted.

  • We're crossing the red sea in three days.

  • Their cabines should be heated up to scorching hot.

  • To their hapiness!

  • Asia!

  • We're sailing along the Syrian coast.

  • It looks like Smyrne in the distance.

  • Asia! 1B140 inhabitants!Cereal, wine, oil

  • fruits, cotton, harsh climate in north!

  • arid in the center, hot in east,

  • We're at East!!

  • Why are you laughing?

  • Because of what the little one asked

  • me : " Why don't the boats move?"

  • She's too small to see the sea.

  • That's it, on such a calm sea, nothing changes for her.

  • Tell me exactly all that you see, Mireille.

  • Where's Madere?

  • - Ulysse! - No one saw him? - No.

  • Until now my friends,

  • in order to save a woman, you've helped me to make dreams.

  • Now, we must make reality so that we can all live.

  • What does he mean?

  • That this comedy can't last forever

  • and that it's time to think about real work.

  • - He's right! - Explain yourself!

  • It costed my silly life Clarisse's drama for me to wake up.

  • I feel like i can touch the stars with my hand.

  • What should we do?

  • Help me to repair the "noisy one "!

  • Her heart is good and as soon as i can sail the seven seas with cargo,

  • we'll go where Clarisse believes we are.

  • The "noisy one " will meet the Primrose in the southern seas!

  • Reality will catch up with dream.

  • This story will be famous!

  • You'll all have a percent on the expedition's benefits.

  • The moral of the farmer and his children : a treasure is hidden in...

  • go go go..

  • What's that bric-a-brac?

  • Those are Turkish necklaces which the kids sell in rowboats.

  • These are Hawaiian records for Honolulu.

  • You're extraordinary but what will you tell Clarisse

  • about this hubbub, about this trafic?

  • I told her that during the Smyrne stop, we would clean the Primrose

  • and load tons of provisions for the Pacific natives.

  • - Tons you say! - It's all the same!

  • Less noise down there!

  • They're going to wake her up!

  • Tell them to Speak Javanese up there!

  • We were so well settled in dream and you're gonna spoil it! - Idiot.

  • Will you ever tell her she's on the "noisy one "?

  • Never. Madere died with Venus.

  • It's a new man who wants Clarisse back.

  • I think it's done. Only Love

  • can work such miracles!

  • When do we go to... meet?

  • At the end of the night, i hope.

  • Ask for the latest song of the day!

  • The lament of the blind Venus.

  • Only 1 fr 50!

  • What a beautiful story!

  • Absolutely!

  • All the town is talking!

  • How this all started! Extraordinary!

  • All together!

  • a man, a woman and love,

  • and it ends like it starts.

  • What do you see through the porthole?

  • Fishermen boats fitted into one another

  • and it's written glory to God on it.

  • Glory to God!

  • You can see!!

  • No, but the darkness i was living in

  • has faded since this morning.

  • There are like light holes before me. I can hardly see it.

  • Haven't you just pass your hand before me?

  • Yes!!!

  • I'm no more in the night.

  • I'm in the snow.

  • I see enough to make out the white shadows of beings,

  • and the smoke of things....

  • Goutard was right. You'll see.

  • Maybe. I'm not so much keen on it. Believe me, Mireille.

  • I'm so happy as i am.

  • Everything around me is like a moving music of lights .

  • You don't know how marvellous it is !

  • Here, it' like a still flame.

  • I'm sure you'll see, Clarisse.

  • Don't cry like a kid.

  • They'll be back some day.

  • Come. It must be crowded on the dock.

  • Come or we'll miss their departure.

  • Arthur, don't forget to cash.

  • Cast off the left ropes.

  • So we're leaving ... Smyrne?

  • Yes, in a few moments.

  • - François.- Clarisse, what's wrong?

  • Your face looks mysterious.

  • Listen to the Primrose pulling her anchor as

  • if she wants to leave.

  • Everything in life wants to leave.

  • This why you must moor your heart to mine.

  • Tighter and tighter.

  • Hapiness is awfully short.

  • It's already over as you're talking about it.

  • It's golden like the fishermen oars in the sunset.

  • Why are you saying these words?

  • To test you.

  • Ready?

  • Let's leave them alone.

  • This real departure of the "noisy

  • one" while she thinks she's leaving

  • Smyrne on the primrose with a Mr Derupierre ...

  • It's too confused, i'm afraid to flub.

  • I'm deeply moved too.

  • She grasped my arm with such joy,

  • that i almost bursted into tears.

  • Full steam ahead!

  • I've often talked to you about Madere.

  • If ever you meet him...

  • You still want me to get you rid of him?

  • It will be easy...

  • No. Forgive him as i do.

  • Your eyes are looking at me!

  • You see!!

  • No. I don't see you my love but i've guessed you.

  • Your heart was too close to mine and was beating too hard.

  • It has betrayed you.

  • I knew you by your heart!

  • My little thing.

  • You guessed it all.

  • Yes my love.

  • It's been so good to feel all this goodness about me.

  • Look!

  • All the red dork is on the dock!

  • The priest is blessing the departure.

  • All these nice people. LIsten.

  • Tell them i can see again. They'll be so happy.

  • Why? Isn't it the truth?

  • It doesn't matter.

  • Nice stories must end well for the people.

  • Only this matters.

  • A good end for all the stories of life.

  • We will marry.

  • Touch my heart.

  • My love..

  • At the new casino....

  • Stay quiet or you'd spoil the end.

  • All the dying boats seem to flap

  • their swings to leave at their turn.

  • How deeply moving, Ulysse!

A modern times tragedy
