CELINE AND JULIE GO BOATING
Most of the time, it started like this...
Practical Treatise of Magic
Fill this out, please...
But, the next morning...
This is yours, miss.
Thank you sir.
No, I don't drink coffee.
It's not for me.
It's for you this time.
Here Lil, for your collection
This one's from Borneo
Java?
And the last one?
Klimanjaro.
Some people have the fun
The past?
No. Past, future.
House of God, liberation from prison.
The Chariot.
New start. Conquest.
May I?
You woke up lucky today.
Oh, Death!
No. It's positive there.
Movement. Change. The end...
becoming radiance, triumph.
Conquest. The Sun.
How useless!
Don't burn yourself
You do me, now.
The Past. The Hanged Man What is below is above.
Your future is behind you.
And you plunge into the depths...
of night...
My future is...
Your grandfather the hermit,
protects you.
You don't move. You don't advance.
You advance, but in total immobility.
Stagnation!
Triumphant stagnation.
At least triumphant.
Consequently, my future is in the present.
Exactly.
That's fine. I like paper...
I like the smell of wax.
Another puff?
Now?
It'll be better tomorrow.
Let's hope so
Well, let's go...
home.
The cigarette?
I'll keep it.
Back to literature.
Excuse me, sir.
Would you please smoke discreetly.
The children are really noisy.
Is the white elephant back?
No, he's gone to Australia.
The naive larks
and the ladies of Flajolie are out.
It's like the spider.
Death with a blue ribbon.
In front of the mirror?
In front of the mirror
July 11th
Don't let your cats out.
I'm sorry. I woke you?
I thought it was the ones who are after me.
Don't you think you need a bed?
I've to wash.
A shower...Must take a shower.
You had 3 calls while I slept.
First door on the left.
It's crazy!
My last African safari...
was really crazy.
We were dying of heat.
Every day in the savannah chasing animals.
I had a hoa consquitador.
A hoa consquitador.
That quite adore me.
He wasn't dangerous, I'd put him around my neck.
When the natives killed the tiger, the biggest one
they said..
it was the tiger of Bengal!
Bengal the area of Africa we were in. You know it?
It's a blue and brown bird.
The Pigmy Emperor had invited me...
but Zouha the Giantess was jealous.
She wanted to marry the emperor who'd given me the tiger skin.
But since the Pigmy king had giben it to me...
No bear skin?
Zhuba wanted my skin. My skin.
So, I escaped.
I almost croaked coming back from the jungle.
I lived through hell.
I lost my hair, all over, plucked clean.
I was scared to death. I was traumtoed.
Tomatoed?
Yeah freaked out.
I was invited to Hong Kong.
A cool place, I'll tell you about it.
There was a Japanese guy who did acoopuncture.
He did it to me.
I stayed for a month.
Afterwards my hair came back. All red at first,
and then normal again.
And then I came back.
Who's that?
That'^s Gregoire...
alias Gýilou.
A distant cousin from the Luberon
We were childhood lovers.
We had innocent little games.
Playing doctor and all.
On sundays we'd get married in the gras behind the rectory.
naked as worms, serious as popes.
Now Guilou's coming back.
He's written. I'm waiting.
But he wants us to wear white and go to churtch.
What's this relic?
A spare forget-me-not.
Forest of knots? - The forget-me-not of the poor.
It isnt't forget-me-not it's a daisy.
It was a daisy.
We've to take care of that.
Can you take alcohol?
You can't take alcohol?
No, it's OK!
I have a first-aid certificate.
How'd you get that?
They were after me. Or I thought it was them.
I fell down. I was afraid.
But who are they? Afraid of what?
I'd been hired to work in a house...
then, 2 days ago... -before it was fine-
2 days ago, I found in my room,
a bracalet with the name of a foreign girl,
I thought it belonged
to the firl who was there before me. So I took it to my boss.
When he saw it
he turned pale. I thought he'd hit me.
He locked himself in his office with his wife.
She was crying, he was shouting
and I listened. Then the other woman came.
So, I left.
I moved a bit away and poked around...
in the drawers...
and then, in one drawer,
I found... two passports
with foreign names,
and one was the name on the bracelet.
But the photos were ripped out.
Yesterday.
when I wanted to continue...
everything was locked, the drawers, the closets...
I tried to force a drawer...
and they came in.
I ran away, and now they're after me.
Who are they?
My boss and the two women.
What did you do in the house?
Nanny.
There were children?
Of course!
How many?
One.
A little girl?
Yes.
How old was she?
Oh little, 7 or 8.
And the women? Were they dark or fair?
Dark and fair.
But I don't know about them. They were very secretive.
What did he look like?
Gloomy?
Him? Like your fish.
Black.
It's OK now.
Relax.
I'd really like a bloody mary.
I have a headache.
Relax.
Lie down.
Take this.
Swallow it all at once.
What's the address of that house?
But, the next morning...
Hello, Lil?
It's Julie.
No, not very well.
I don't know.
I'm not coming in today.
I'd rather no, just a vision.
I'd rather rest.
Anyway, I'll be in tomorrow.
Allright!
See you tomorrow.
Goodbye.
What was the address of that house?
I told you yesterday.
7 bis rue du Nadir aux Pommes
That's it.
Gregoire?
Ah, Guilou!
Yes, it is Julie.
I'm so happy to hear your voice.
You sond so close. How odd.
You're in Paris? Since when?
This morning!
I wantr to see you. Today, yes today!
Wait!
Three o'clock.
St. Vincent Square.
Big kiss. See you in a minute.
To my Julie. The child has become a man.
It seems people live here...
Nestor! Small world isn't it?
Guess who?
I recognise these soft hands.
the scent of this skin
the rhythm of this breath.
Guilou, you haven't changed a bit!
Do you remember the Monday?
when I gathered 313?
311 because there were 5 purple poisoned coichicuros.
The days of blindman's bluff, I couldn't find you.
When I got home it was dark.
I didn't get dessert.
The day before, when we plated "Hot-Cold",
you were hotter with another.
Josette chsed me.
And the Rectory?
Has thr Rectory lost non of its charm?
Nor the young girl
her naivety?
It's just as I'd imagined it.
Nothing's changed!
The gossamer caressed our bare feet...
they were silvery and soft...
When I pressed you against the hedge to kiss you
There was no one around.
red mouth smeared..
strawberries crushed in milk...
sugared kisses, four o'clock...
snacks...hot.
Kisses and rhubarb jam...
cigarettes stolen from Uncle Ed...
we made blue smoke rings.
The forget-me-not song...
white sun, dark stomachs...
and the wind howled and we danced.
and we loved Exstasy!
Ecstasy! Perverse and mystic sodomisation.
Homosexual spleen in the attic...
disguised as Alsatians!
Sodom. Gomorrah. Biting your teeth Burning loins
Hot lava...sleep...
Sleeping, dying of kisses, sleeping, kisses...
Sleeping... Kisses...
Give me death, my beloved!
And now, dear friend
go jack-off among the roses
You have become an unspeakable monster of vulgarity
I want never to see you again.
Good-bye forever. Forever good-bye
It's from the man over there Go thank him.
Miss Julie?
Miss Julie has gone far away.
I don't think she'll ever come back
Where to?
Rue du Calvare in Montmartre.
Tonight you're going to get it!
I'm going to get it?
You'll be suprised.
OK, go ahead. Keep it up. I'll keep my trap shut.
Violins!
If this keeps up, I'm splitting.
I'm eating.
Shut up I'll tell you a story because
I'm better off than you.
and your hang-ups aren't worth beans
I've met this girl...
I left my boyfriends.
Shut up! Listen!
I've met this woman...
an American, a real American.
With butterfly sunglasses?
A terrific young woman...
she's in all the papers...
I live at her house. Shit! Listen! I'm not joking.
She has a pink swimming pool.
I'll invite you guys to swim someday
In a pink heart.
A heart shape.
You're crazy!
She wants to make me her pygma...
shit! Her pyg...ma...lion!
And we can sunbathe
Naked!
She's super rich.
She's loaded, her name's always in the papers.
She's taking care of me because she says I've got something...
she's going to make me a great...
lady ýf the dance.
Introduce me to her - No. I've got first dibs.
And then me.
Know what she wants to do to me?
- Is she attractive?
You'll think so. I've been with her 2 days.
How old is she? We have to place her, you know.
What color hair? - Red
A red-head!
Pale with freckles...
She gave me a massage, you know...
Well she has a masseur and he did it.
He's got slanted eyes.
Would she do me? - She might do guys.
I think behind her there must be...
a big political boss...
I don't know about politics. But there's money.
Not to mention names, but there reminds me of...
Yeah an American, it's the same thing
he's in the papers She's like him.
A guy you never see, a billionaire...
Except you see her It's the same degree. What's his name?
The man, Marylin's producer.
And what's your bitch do?
My bitch! Get lost, you're crazy!
You're not coming swimming! - Yes.
She doesn't want slobs.
I'm sure I know her.
She's not a dyke, you know.
She's just come from America?
But she's got a flat in France.
a flat that's an entire house.
Where?
Somewhere. She told me not to tell, it's a secret.
Your lady's making it all up.
You're really dumb.
She's broke. She lies to get you to bed.
Stupid ass. I've been to her place.
I've seen her money, She has servants...
Don't be so agressive.
I'm not. You're just jealous.
Nobody cares about your American.
When you see her you will.
I wondered if there's any truth in your story
Listen Alice, it's really Wonderland.
You can't imagine, I'm ecstatic.
Lucrece is zero next to her. - I say that for Alice.
I'm getting used to it.
You're so disgusting.
Don't worry, I know how to choose.
I have good taste too.
So do I, they're really something.
Where did all this happen?
Stupid idiot. 2 days ago.
2 days...it's not true.
I'm not telling you anything. You're too dumb.
Lay off!
Shut up!
You said that already.
Don't get mad!
What time? - Six thirty.
Time to do make-up.
Oh, my sister.
Go ahead Miss Stuck-up.
Miss, your fare please.
Hey, this way.
Did you have a good day?
I don't remember anything.
I've to get made-up.
And now, the astonishing...

the bedazzling...
the most mysterious...
most marvellous...
mos scabrous...
most sulphurous...
and so much more! She's the...
Mandrakore!
It's fake.
It's phony.
It's fake, sweetie.
What were you just telling me? You've an ideal?
Me? An ideal?
I'd be suprised if you didn't.
Well, anyway...
It's not worth talking about.
You could take the kid out some night
I can't take these days, I'm busy with my American.
Where?
I don't know the mvoies. Once in a while to amuse him
Eh, Paulo?
Would you like that?
Have you seen my gloves?
Look what you've done!
May I have kleenex, please?
Is your nose alright?
Yes, but this make-up makes me break out.
I'm tired of this mask, my skin's tight.
You're not the only one.
That's our job.
I'll become a clown, I'll replace...
old Julien.
A sad clown.
What do you think?
I'll do something like this. I'll attack them now.
They won't know you?"
They wouldn't anyway. Think they come for my mug? No way, my ass!
They sleep and drink. Did you see how they were tonight?
I like the little assholes,
as long as they pay.
What are you doing? Is tomorrow's act ready?
All ready?
OK, great.
What do you think?
Yeah, it's alright, but you should add.
some feathers.
She's crazy.
In the back.
Yeah, I've some.
Do you have green? Not there!
Lay off.
She really could do it.
Feathered Myrtille.
Hello, kids.
Hello, M. Dede.
Celine, I've something to tell you.
Tell me here. I don't have secrets.
It's good news, come on.
Wait 2 minutes for me, OK?
I like you a lot.
You're talented, full of exburance and promise.
I've got you on contract.
And how!
Well, I'm negotiating it at the moment.
What do you mean?
I lose on it, but it's for you career.
An international tour,
Ankara, Istanbul...
Bagdad, Beirut...
Well, then?
You're making fun of me. - Not at all.
In those places, a great artist, and French too...
It's worth gold, or better... not gold, oil my dear.
I like oil better, no, shit, I mean gold.
You'll see, you'll make some.
Old Dédé told me that...
that he's got a tour for me...
an international tour to Ankara, Beirut...
Wow, Beirut!
It can't be true, I don't believe it.
Is he joking?
He says I'm worth oil,
no, gold. I don't know...
Do you think it's a joke?
And this one, what's this?
My cousin.
An American cousin.
With a pool?
Of course.
pink...and heart-shaped.
Shit, what's got into you?
Nothing! Nothing!
I remember nothing. It's no use.
The little sleep.
Look, I don't get any of this.
You've just forgotten, that's all. You were in shock.
I don't know.
I'm not getting anywhere.
I don't remember anything.
Look, you're just going...
you're going nuts, huh?
Try...force yourself.
That's what I'm doing, I'm not getting anywhere.
Look, let's start over again, OK?
Try to remember from the moment...
I am starting over. It doesn't help.
OK, but start from where you happened to show up at the club.
Where'd you catch the taxi?
Alright, we'll start all over.
This is going to be very funny.
So...
I was...
You were...
pushed out of the house...
propelled.
Then I was...
all wobbly...
I felt dizzy...
I was pretty mixed-up.
Anyway, I managed to get to the taxi...
and once in the taxi...
I took...
the candy that was in my mouth...
and put it in my purse.
What candy?
This one.
What's wrong?
I see it.
What do you see?
It's a dreadful vow.
It's wrong to make someone swear such a thing
But I was witness to this vow, I am the guarantor.
If you try to disregard it, I'll stop you.
Do you think so?
What is pretty does no harm.
But if you say so...
Do not say that word.
You choose the wrong day for trying to seduce Olivier.
Is that all?
You pretend to ignore the vow.
Don't go in there!
Wâs it in the right or left yesterday?
I don't remember.
You could lose, but you always win.
You know it is forbidden her.
My own kingdom,
my house, my garden,
my flowers,
my travel books,
for me it was enough.
It would have been enough for the rest of my life.
But they had to take it away.
He claims it is hereditary.
Well, the scent of these plants doesn't help things.
Look what I've drawn for you.
Madlyn...
Ties of blood must be renewed.
Must I tell this ghastly story to its end?
My dear friend, what you have begun, you must complete.
Miss Angele!
Where'd I get them from?
It's odd you know...
they mean something to me... their faces are familiar.
They come from far away... - Yes, they must.
From very far. But they don't look like they've travelled...
Where do they come from, Zanzibar, Mozambique?
When you're finished with your z'ing,
and your childishness.
Look who's talking.
I don't know if my mind went blank, or it's hazy dreams.
It's a mish-mash.
It's like...
four petrified images of puppets.
Yes, puppets...
but it shouts...
it munches candies...
it faints...
it tells stories...
it goes from grey to blue...
and it swoons!
It takes stairs every which way!
And to thicken the sauce, a little blood!
Wonderful!
Know what?
No, not yet,
I'd rather not know.
Why? It'll be great.
You don't know the best part...
While you're sitting down..
You know the lady in white?
She's my sister.
My twin sister.
We're as alike as 2 peas in a pod.
The one whose hands are dirty?
I'm broad-shouldered, but I won't take all the blame.
Your acquaintances are pretty weird...
You should talk, sweetie, yours aren't so clean-cut either
You make do with what you have.
What you have, you have to get.
It's clear you've never eaten shit,
the day you do, I'll laugh.
To survive in this life, you need...
dough.
Can't it, honey.
Don't make me cry.
But, the next morning...
What's the address of your house?
7 rue des Pommes?
It's 7 bis...
rue du Nadi aux Pommes.
I should have taken my saw.
Miss?
My Poupie!
It's not true...I must be dreaming.
How you grown!
After all these years.
My little partridge, my bengali how glad I am to see you!
Do you want your tea?
You know, the other morning
When mother came to take me away...
Oh, a baker's dozen.
After being coddled by you for 6 months.
She told me that you'd been kidnapped by a playboy
and taken by helicopter to the Peloponese.
Your father did well to leave.
God rest his soul.
And what's become of your mother
with her problems and her men?
I never liked her.
My doll uncles...I liked them. They were so polite.
Do you ever hear from her?
She flits around.
She sends me a card now and then,
the las one was from Java.
So, she's still the same.
Poupie, do you remember?
The little girl from the house over there?
After you left, well, she was very sick...
After you left, she was very weak...
One day, everyone left.
I never saw them again They never came back.
No news of them.
She was my age.
Remember how the house scared you?
And no one came back?
Never.
The shutter have been closed since then.
Maybe someday, an heir will come,
the shutters will open.
and I'll have some company.
I'd like to see my old room.
It's just the same, with all your dolls.
I haven't touched it.
Oh, five to! I've to go.
Already?
But now that I've found you I'll come for tea.
I promise I'll come get you.
It's been too long.
