Cut it out!
Are you crazy?
Come back in!
Don't do it!
Come back in.
May I?
You really scared me.
I'm not scared of heights. And...
I wanted to meet you.
That's about us.
Is it a diary?
It's pretty autobiographical.
It's nice you came.
What do you do besides working here?
Lots of things. I read...
Books... again!
I love reading.
I do other stuff too. I enter contests on the radio.
Do you win?
Sometimes. Last week I won a trip.
Great! Where to?
I don't know yet.
I don't feel like travelling now.
Travelling alone is no fun.
- What do you mean? - If you had a boyfriend...
- What's the difference? - It's important, though.
For some women. But we're not all the same.
You never fall in love?
Let's change the subject.
See you tonight.
There's a nightly flight to Tokyo at 11. When is it for?
Tonight.
You mean business!
Come pick up your ticket at 6.
A friend of yours insists on seeing you.
Not now. Tell him I'm not in.
I didn't hear that.
Just a second. Are you okay?
Why are you here?
We had a date last night.
I was worried. You just disappeared.
It's the rehearsals. I'm totally out of it.
You couldn't even call?
- You couldn't care less. - Stop it.
Can't you see...
I can't talk! It's our last dress rehearsal.
Okay. I'll stop bothering you. Concentrate hard.
Alice... You'll be great tonight. Break a leg.
You mustn't wear green in a theater.
Especially on opening night.
That's strange. Why?
Green is the color of the devil.
Let's continue.
I'm a seagull.
That's not right.
I'm an actress.
He's here too. He made fun of my dreams.
I too ended up not believing in them. I lost my courage.
Then the anguish of love, jealousy, fear...
Stop. I lost it.
No... give that to me.
You were great!
Now I'll film you. Go on.
- It doesn't work? - No sound.
I don't believe it.
Let me see.
- Can you fix it? - Not on your life.
Me neither.
It doesn't matter.
I know where we can get it repaired.
Are you a little in love?
Not at all.
I was just asking...
- Would you tell me? - Of course.
I have an errand to run.
- Want me to come? - No, I'll just pick up the camera.
See you tonight.
I'm sorry!
Hi. I'm supposed to meet Max
at our usual place. But I have to go to Italy.
- What for? - A two-month tour.
It's in my letter. I told him to wait for me.
I have no stamps. Mail it for me.
I'm off. My train is in fifteen minutes.
He asked me to live with him. I'll keep you posted.
Will you live with him?
Yes, if he can wait two months.
Why Rome?
I have a friend who's lending me his house there.
- When are you leaving? - Tomorrow.
Are you sure you don't want to come?
I can't leave the hospital. I have responsibilities.
You'll spend your life in a hospital?
It's important to care for others.
Definitely. Especially when they send you roses.
- How is he? - Not bad.
We made love last night in the lounge.
The problem is, I'm already dating a colleague of his.
He works day shifts. A dermatologist.
He's adorable and he adores me.
The clinging type.
Let's sum this up.
Same name, same shoe size, different woman.
What does she look like?
How could I have mixed them up?
Did you...
No, we were...
I couldn't leave her alone.
So I took the chair...
And she fell into a deep sleep.
Deep... deep?
Seriously. And when I woke up,
she'd already left. It was as if I'd dreamt it.
Any regrets?
- Meaning? - Nothing. Just a vague impression.
Hold on just a second...
Max.
I know you.
I'm going to Tokyo tonight.
All I care about is Muriel. I'm sure of it now.
Whatever you say.
How was the other night with Alice? You never told me.
It was fine.
- Fine? - Yeah, fine. You want a drawing?
Hey, sorry for showing interest in your life.
We went out to eat.
I told her about your screwy story. She laughed.
Then we came back here.
Let's go eat.
What happened with your friend?
He ended up finding Lisa.
What?
They saw each other?
No, but he knows where she lives. He found her address.
So are they going to meet?
Yeah, he set up a date by letter.
Indian or Japanese?
I don't feel well. I feel sick.
I'd like you to take me home.
- You don't want to... - Do you love me?
Let me spend the night at your place.
You know you can't!
Sorry, I'm really tired tonight.
Maybe tomorrow.
What does "maybe" mean?
Don't scream. I'll call you tomorrow.
I won't be available tomorrow.
I'm sick of this hot-and-cold treatment.
Please, tomorrow.
We made love all night long.
At dawn she fell asleep in my arms. It was amazingly tender.
Amazingly tender.
When will you introduce me to her?
Her play opens tonight.
Why don't you come?
You know who I dreamt of last night?
Max. Max Mayer. Remember?
Two years ago, before Daniel. Don't you remember?
Vaguely.
I was walking by him in the street.
I wonder if he's forgotten me.
Do you think dreams can come true?
I think he must be married with two or three kids.
He just left. Without saying goodbye.
For once, I wanted to settle down.
You see? You should never go against your nature.
Try not to think of him.
I don't want anything anymore.
Travel.
Travel... Where to?
Here.
What's this?
It's a trip I won.
You're not going?
Am I?
Dear Alice,
We should never doubt our fate.
Thanks to you, I've met the man of my dreams.
His name is Daniel. He's rich.
He's handsome. And he's married.
I love you. Lisa.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I need your car again tonight. Do you mind?
Night shift?
If it's for an emergency...
But steer clear of my neighborhood.
Daniel knows my car. I wouldn't want him popping up here.
Aren't you exaggerating a bit?
Do you think I'm crazy? That I imagined everything?
I never said that.
But you have no proof.
I know Daniel. He's capable of anything.
Still... You never let him explain...
You really don't love him anymore?
Maybe he's just a man who lost his wife
and wants to start over with you.
- You know I couldn't hurt you. - I know, Daniel.
Why hide behind a phone?
You saw my letter. I'm not asking much.
Your letter? What letter?
I haven't been home.
I'm not as dumb as you think!
- It's the truth. I swear. - You want the truth?
You're in love with someone else!
What are you saying?
I saw him at your window. You hear me?
I saw him, Lisa!
Daniel, you're out of your mind!
Tell me where you are.
Wait, Miss.
I have a letter for you.
You forgot your keys.
A young man left this for you.
Here. This is for you.
Can I change the date of a flight to Rome?
For date changes, you have to stop by the agency.
- We close at 7. - I'll be right there. Thanks.
Lucien, come here.
What is it?
I have to pick up my ticket. I'm late.
- You're leaving now? - Yeah.
You're coming tonight...
I can't. I'm really sorry.
Honestly, I can't make it.
I'll call you, okay?
Wait! Max!
You have to come. I'd like it.
It'll help me. I have stage fright.
- For her? - For myself.
Things aren't working out for us.
I don't know why. She's acting strange.
- I can't handle it... - So you're scared.
Now you understand.
- Okay, see you later then. - At 7:30.
Roissy 2. Terminal B. Right?
Yes, one hour before take-off.
This ticket can only be changed 2 days in advance.
Are you sure?
Do you have a light?
Leave me! Woe betide you!
Shouting, running, running, shouting!
No one hears my pleas.
Whereas Hermia, to be happy, need only breathe.
Who is here?
Lysander?
- Sorry, I'm late. - Look. That's Alice.
If you are alive, awake!
Run through fire I will for you.
Transparent Helena.
Luminous Helena. Demetrius!
How fit a word! Is that vile name to perish at my sword!
Do not say!
- Go on! - Hermia loves you
Me, content with Hermia?
I repent the tedious minutes I with her have spent.
Not Hermia, but Helena I love, you.
What's wrong?
Keep quiet.
And you keep sleeping!
The curtain!
Lysander, do thy best!
To pluck this crawling serpent from my breast?
Keep your cool. Should I come?
No, I better go alone.
Go take your plane.
Don't cry, Alice. You were great. Thanks a lot.
You've humiliated us, discredited your fellow actors
and put my career in jeopardy.
I don't know what happened.
You're out. Brigitte will take your role.
You belong in the circus, not in the theater.
Alice? It's me, Lucien. Can I come in?
Leave me alone, Lucien. I want to be alone.
Don't be silly. Let me in.
You're not alone. I don't want your friend to see me like this.
Open up. I'm alone. He left.
He found me that bad?
I chased everyone away, right?
What are you saying?
He went to Tokyo for business.
Tokyo?
But I thought...
- Are you okay? - Yes.
No.
I was awful.
I don't know what got into me.
Get dressed. I'll take you out to eat.
I'm not hungry.
Yes, you are.
Help me. I don't know what to do.
How do you prefer me? With or without?
Or half and half?
- Did he find the woman he loves? - Who?
You.
Your friend who left for Japan.
He met a madwoman with the same name.
I'm a madwoman too!
You don't get it!
I've never loved anyone so much.
I wanted you to come here so badly.
No more fooling around. I want only you.
I want to live with you.
I love you.
Alice? It's Lisa.
Lisa? Where are you?
In Paris.
- In your letter, you said... - I'll explain later.
Can I see you today?
- I don't know if... - In 2 hours at the Pergola.
- If it's an emergency, I'll manage. - It is.
- Give your friend a kiss for me. - You don't know her!
Why can't I meet her?
See you tonight.
Tell Mr. Noda to get his pen ready. Max is our man.
Max is a real ace.
Lucien, if you're there, pick up the phone.
- Max? You didn't leave? - No, I came back here.
I slept in the apartment.
I don't get it. What's going on?
I waited all night. She never came.
Who?
- The girl from the apartment. - Unbelievable!
I didn't tell you everything.
We did make love. It thought it was a one-night stand, but...
I don't know what to do.
- Tell me. - Calm down.
Then meet me here.
- Can I speak with Max please? - Who's calling?
It's Lisa.
I'm a friend of Max's. It's about my powder case.
Lisa? Which one?
I'm sorry about last night. I had a problem at the hospital.
I couldn't free myself. Are you angry?
No, I had a great night.
Except for breakfast this morning.
- Where are you? - Where?
In a café near the hospital.
I'm leaving now. Will you wait for me?
He should be here any minute. Can I have your number?
- Do you have a pen? - Go ahead.
No, I'll meet him at the usual place
between 4 and 5 o'clock.
At the square. Did you get that?
I'll be sure to tell him.
He'll be surprised.
Wait, this may be him.
No, it's not. I'm sorry.
Okay. Goodbye.
I went out for cigarettes.
- What is it? - It's incredible!
I just spoke to Max.
I thought he was in Tokyo, but he's here.
He slept in that girls apartment. What an idiot.
Really?
And there's more.
Just after, the real Lisa called me.
His ex-girlfriend. The one he really knows.
The other one pretended she was Lisa. How crazy!
- Did you tell him? - What?
That he fell for a crackpot? It's sort of delicate.
Where are you going?
I'll call you later. I promise.
Where are you going?
I can't stay.
Wait.
Do you like me?
You're crazy!
Are you free tonight?
We can meet here.
Okay.
Only if you don't stand me up again.
You're stupid.
- What's that? - A present.
For me?
Sit down. I'll help you put them on.
You should have asked. I'm a 39.
It doesn't matter.
It was really sweet of you.
Alice! Something incredible happened! Let me tell you!
I need to talk too.
I'm a total wreck.
I keep doing terrible things. I can't stop.
- I've never stopped lying. - Wait.
What's going on?
It's too complicated.
I need to be alone. To stop it all.
Listen, I'm not leaving. I'll explain later.
Use my ticket.
Why don't you go to Rome for a while?
Lisa, I need to tell you...
I've never set foot in a hospital.
What are you saying?
Why are you here? Why aren't you at my place?
What is it?
- I saw the girl from the apartment. - Shit.
Come on. I'll introduce you to Alice.
Come on.
I'm glad you called. Did I take too long?
Max, meet Alice. Alice, Max.
It's as if you know each other. What will you have?
A double vodka.
Richard, two vodkas, please.
Tell us what happened. Alice knows everything from A to Z.
Nothing.
I had my doubts. That's why I went. You know how curious I am.
Yeah, you're a curious kind of guy.
It's like when you find a girl pretty
from behind. Never double-check. 9 times out of 10.
Did you see her again?
Just to confirm that she's a liar.
A mythomaniac.
You got worked up for nothing.
- For very little. - Glad to hear it.
Did you leave a message at the bar here?
How do you know?
Lisa told me. Your Lisa.
Meet her at the usual place at 4.
Shit.
At least you were right about her powder case.
I almost believed her...
She seemed so distraught.
Never trust people who are too sincere.
What do you think, Alice?
You seem trustworthy.
It's easy to judge. But what do you know about her?
She lies well, without misgivings.
And so she's insincere?
You're the same, but hypocritical too.
Could you explain that?
Hey you two, calm down.
No, go on. I'm interested.
Maybe she's loved you for a long time.
Maybe she's been trying to find you.
Wow! A real Harlequin romance!
Maybe she was awkward in getting at you.
When you love, you don't realize how much you hurt others.
You met a real nutcase. You're two of a kind.
Shit. I'll go buy cigarettes.
Now you see me as I am.
I don't regret a thing.
I said my goodbyes in the apartment.
You'll be rid of me soon.
I'm going to Rome.
It's a nice city.
According to Lisa.
- Listen... - Stop.
I don't want to hear anymore.
This is for you.
Neither of you is any fun today.
Can I have one?
You're smoking again?
Another drink?
Give me a whiskey, with a little... but not too much...
The usual. Coming up.
I have to go.
Keep me posted.
He's always had girl problems.
This will never work. Let's end it now.
End what?
I'm not for you. We can't live together.
Why? We've never tried.
Because I've used you.
Because I don't love you. I'm not who you think. It's over!
You understand? It's over.
I don't understand a thing. Can you explain?
Tell me why!
I'll be back.
I'll just go freshen up.
Good luck meeting him.
I'm scared. I don't know why.
As we grow older, we get sentimental.
You're stupid!
The angel on your ticket will give you wings.
You'll fly high.
We'll see.
I'll call you.
She has long dark hair.
Never seen anyone like that before.
I got here just in time.
- 10 minutes later and... - And I'd have met you in Rome.
Wait here. I'll get my bags.
Can you watch this?
Max!
