What is it?
It looks like another register.
There are numbers, names.
I don't understand.
I think I understand the classification.
It's half alphabetical,
half thematic.
But, in fact, there were several
conflicting.
You scared me.
What's wrong today?
Nothing, I'm fine. - Yesterday you were happier.
It's not true.
Happy, sad.
Today you're cold.
Not at all, I'm not cold. I am pensive.
Better look for what you're looking for,
than worry about me.
What did I do?
What did I say?
Nothing, you are
as you are.
What?
I found it.
I have it, I'm holding it!
"Il Destino Veneziano"? Are you sure?
Where is the title? There is no title.
That's it? It's him?
"Bernardino Perfetti, Sienna."
It's not him.
You looked so happy.
The writing, it looked so much like
We didn't check everything.
Of course, it must be here.
It should be here. - It was here.
Didn't you say things come and go?
Clearly, things "go", disappear. No?
Not many.
"Things come and go. He's a gambler." You said it!
Talking about your brother.
Maybe, so what?
Maybe he likes burning books.
He loves beautiful bindings.
And money.
What are you trying to do?
Trying to lead me against him?
You'll never succeed.
No one, do you understand?
No one.
It took you a while.
I came right away.
Pierre, we must be frank, both of us.
You could say hello.
I'm gathering my notes for my class.
I told you the other day,
the other night.
Are you listening? - I'm listening.
I thought I clearly told you,
I'm not the one you knew before.
There's no going back.
I've got a new life too.
I love Ugo.
I love what I do with him.
I love working under his gaze.
You came to talk about your job?
To tell you I've grown up.
I heard you clearly,
I understand perfectly.
You say there's no going back.
But neither is there change.
We are the same, you and I, as before.
You're scared. I understand.
It's terrible and marvelous.
What are you talking about? It's not what I'm trying to say.
I don't care what you try to say.
You're here, that's what counts.
You're at home, and you know it.
Not at all, it's the opposite.
I'm elsewhere, definitely elsewhere.
You have to understand.
There is no elsewhere, only here.
I didn't come and get you.
You came. You're here, and you're staying.
What are you talking about?
You have to be in Rennes tonight.
Don't look at me that way.
You're right, forgive me.
I'll accompany you.
This way.
What are you doing, kicking me out?
We didn't talk. - We'll have all the time!
What are you doing? Open up!
I'm keeping you, I am not letting you leave again.
I'm not strong enough. You stay.
Stop, you idiot.
You're mad! Open! - Yes, I'm mad about you.
I never stopped, never will.
It's crazy, Sonia will arrive.
She may or may not understand. I don't care.
I have the theatre, I can't, they're waiting for me.
I've been waiting three years.
Think about it.
Think.
No one in sight.
I always worried about her.
Yes, I know not professional. Enough.
She's here now.
Let her get dressed.
It's not a tragedy, I'm not dead.
All is well.
Fifteen minutes before the curtain.
Ten minutes late!
What truth?
Can you believe her? - They believe her!
They believe. Because it's the truth.
The facts. The very "deceit" he believes in.
What are you saying, Signora? - How is it possible?
It's a vendetta against me, fiercer than his!
It's not mine.
The facts avenge you.
What did you want by calling them forth?
I can't accept to be recognized by them.
You were to recognize me, only you,
unselfishly.
It went well tonight, no?
We had the right pace.
What we don't have is the public. - We had some.
Not enough.
It's madness, this tour.
An abyss. - You're worried?
More than that, I'm scared.
Scared of losing the company.
It's not like you.
That's what scares me.
Excuse me. - No, Dominique.
Come in.
Didn't we meet before? - Yesterday.
Ah yes, yesterday. - I had to see it without my mother.
I was so uncomfortable.
Does it stand a second viewing? - Yes. Totally.
Dominique is writing a thesis.
Just a paper, but I don't like talking about it. Excuse me.
We meet tomorrow?
Probably.
See you tomorrow then. - Goodbye.
You're seeing her tomorrow?
My old Goldoni quirk, she's helping.
I'm not questioning you.
Shall we have dinner?
I'm not very hungry.
I don't find the big register. It's disappeared.
Really, you're blind.
There, in front of you.
I meant the other one, the one you found yesterday.
Arthur might have taken it.
I don't see why, it's definitely unsaleable.
Maybe, it's in my room.
Why?
What if I took it last night, because I couldn't fall asleep.
As soporific? - Drastic.
And then I had strange dreams
with Arthur,
mother and you.
What are you looking for?
The register.
It's under my bed.
Which side? - Guess.
North, south, hot, cold.
I'm not in the mood for guessing.
Why?
Maybe because I'm a bit too old.
You don't believe it.
Or not old enough.
If you had to choose?
Between what and what?
The Venetian destiny or
a Parisian chance.
You're the Parisian chance?
Look at me.
Look at me in the eyes and I'll tell you.
I love you Ugo.
I think I love you.
Don't say you had nothing to do with it.
I have nothing to say.
I can't tell you anything.
Nothing?
Let me go, leave me alone.
Let me go!
Let her go.
She said to let her go. - You too.
Get out, both of you.
I'd like a seat in the orchestra.
Hurry, it's about to start.
She's downstairs with the same crowd.
I saw her through the window. - What do you have there?
Nothing. If she brings them up,
I forbid you to stay with them!
What do you want to do?
I don't know, it must end.
End? Are you mad?
Wait!
I hear her shouting. Maybe she's sending them off.
They're all drunk. Someone was following them.
Give me that gun.
No I don't plan to use it.
I'll keep it here, in my pocket.
Give it! - Leave me alone! Do you hear?
Sounds like they're fighting.
What a shame! An aggression!
No, please, don't try to hug me now.
Get out or I'll shoot!
What did they want? - The same thing, the pigs.
They made me drink so much.
It's scandalous!
The neighbors will complain again.
I told you to kick me out!
No, Elma! - He says it's a scandal.
Shouldn't go out with them again.
No, I will go out with them, look.
I prefer. I will join them.
Who are you, may I ask?
You should have told me, I'd have left a ticket.
I prefer paying to see.
I don't know what to say, except that I liked it, I think.
You are very good.
The part is dangerous.
Beautiful but dangerous.
No difficulties with the Italian?
I resorted to my past.
You were in Italy?
I moved around.
Even went to jail.
Well I'm off before I tell my life story.
Don't have time for a drink? - No, I have a date, I'm already late.
I'm touched you came.
I am touched. I assure you.
Good night.
A shot of whiskey, please.
We are being watched.
No one cares.
Don't resist.
don't hold back, you are mine.
I'm not yours.
Let yourself go.
Close your eyes.
Sleep, Sonia, I want it.
Excuse me.
Ready? - And you?
Can we walk together? Want to be my guide?
Something to apologize for?
Always the same with you.
Always the same,
always another.
Not in love anymore?
I didn't say that.
Who's there?
It's me, Do. Am I disturbing?
What is it Do?
Nothing.
You didn't answer.
Am I disturbing?
May I come in?
You're not alone? - Yes, in fact.
That's why you can't come in.
I frighten you?
I just want to talk.
I don't want to.
What did I do?
Nothing.
I don't deserve this.
I want an explanation.
If you come in,
I can't promise anything.
Either I jump on you and devour you,
or I give you a spanking of a lifetime.
I'll take a chance.
Not me.
I beg of you. Leave.
Or I'll never see you again.
And our Goldoni? - I don't care about Goldoni.
I give up.
No, I do care but
I can't succumb to you now.
You make me very sad, Ugo.
I'm not used to this,
it's too hard.
Stop acting spoiled.
Don't wreck everything!
Do?
I didn't mean it.
Not the eyes, not the eyes!
Sonia, it's me, Camille.
I thought.
How horrible.
I thought I was in a cell with the fat one.
In a cell with the fat one?
With her greasy hair
and big cigars.
She bribed the guards,
couldn't help herself.
She really hit me hard.
My head really hurts.
It's horrible.
Do I have any marks? - No.
I don't see anything.
I'm thirsty.
This prison thing. I thought it was a joke.
I wish it were.
Ten months. Makes you think twice.
I'm still thirsty.
What did he give me to drink? - Who?
Him, Arthur.
You never did anything wrong?
Yes.
I did.
Living with Pierre, and leaving him.
Maybe.
You agree, he's mad?
One could say that.
Totally.
He's like the other one.
What other one?
Eight, ten years ago.
I only thought of dance, I was.
He taught me everything.
He lived at night, slept in daytime.
I'd wait for him at the corner, to help him,
hide him.
Then I wanted to participate.
I was like a kid, I thought it was fun, exciting.
Fun!
Climbing fences, breaking windows,
scaring people, neutralizing them,
taking their valuables, their jewels.
Living it up, grand hotels,
that kind of...
It's funny, my finger shrank.
What is it?
It's not my ring. It's a fake.
He robbed me.
I knew it.
I was sure of it.
This studio is badly oriented.
May I see it?
with two very pure diamonds.
Signed Mellerio di Meller.
He knew the bastard.
Is it worth a lot?
If he knocks on the right door, I dare not say
How can you tell it's a fake?
The real one has an inscription.
Tempus fugit, manet amor.
I kept it as a
lucky charm.
Without it, I feel naked. I'll make him regret it.
Think it's funny?
No, I'm discovering you.
I like you, Sonia.
And I hate you.
What are you going to do?
That's my problem.
I'll leave you.
I have to think it over.
Camille it's not true.
What? - I like you too.
Despite it all.
Try to call her, you too.
Here you are!
Here I am.
Wait.
Turn on the light. We can barely see.
You don't remember. We met two or three days ago.
I remember.
Very well.
I wanted to tell you something
but facing you, I'm paralyzed.
Paralyzed?
It's like you. - You know me that well?
Enough.
I wanted to say you were fantastic.
I see you are stiff, hostile. What did I do?
I'm just a bit in a hurry. I'm expected.
Meaning: get out. A pity.
I understand your character better than anyone.
I am the Unknown, even if you think you know me.
We'll see about it another time.
I'll take you up on it, when?
Listen. - I know you won't call me.
But I will come and see you.
See you soon.
Are we having dinner tonight, or you have something else?
No, I have nothing. Why do you ask?
I don't know Camille, I have a huge load on my shoulders.
Yesterday, we almost had a catastrophe.
You've been by my side, but, frankly, now,
I don't know where you are.
I'm here.
Don't play with words.
You almost missed the curtain call.
You call that being here?
I didn't miss it.
You want me to be more frank?
So I ask you, who are you with,
who do you spend the day with,
who do you hang out with?
How dare you speak to me that way?
Are you going back to him?
Or is it already done?
I won't even answer.
I have a question for you.
Do you think I'm bad?
No. Not that.
You're anything
but bad.
You might hate me, but for Vienna,
you should think of a replacement.
Are you serious or just want to hurt me?
You should just think about it.
No reason to dramatize.
No reason to.
No, I do have the object.
Not virtually, really.
The problem there is no problem.
It's a deal, if the money is real, not virtual.
Better today than tomorrow.
Then better tomorrow than after tomorrow.
I'll meet you. Goodbye.
Waiting for someone? - Who knows?
But you're here.
Come and help me.
You plan to score? - Don't talk that way.
Who was it? - Who was what?
On the phone. I never talk business, Do.
I don't like your business.
The sad story of my life.
Let me finish.
You're really hopeless.
And you're smart, handsome, gifted,
the only one I love.
What were you saying?
I only love you. - Liar.
You're in love, and miserable.
I don't know what you see in him. See his nose?
It's part of his charm. - With you, anything goes.
Ever since you left home, every time I fall in love,
something is wrong. In the end,
you pick up the pieces.
Stop. You're perfect. You have everything.
At least I have you.
I hope.
May I sleep here?
I slept badly, I'm dead tired.
Me too, I didn't sleep well.
Why?
Did something stupid? - One more, one less.
You're beautiful, that's all.
Beautiful... I feel awful.
You're beautiful.
I had a strange experience, yesterday.
For the first time in my life...
For the first time in your life?
No, nothing.
Where are you going?
Come in. - Am I disturbing you?
I brought it for you.
It's today's.
There's a good critique.
Also
it's a book I like very much.
I'd like to know.
Think I'm overdoing it?
I think you think too much over what I think.
At this time, I think very little.
This is a good critique?
Frankly, I'm not here for that.
I wanted to see you because I thought.
You thought.
It's alright.
It's about the ring?
You said you did not think.
I didn't say: not. I said: very little.
Yes, the ring.
The only treasure of my old life.
My secret trophy.
I care about it more than I can say:
it's my soul, it's me.
Do you understand?
Not really.
But I believe you.
Arthur knows I know, for sure.
I can't press charges, and I'm alone.
Unless you
Me?
What can I do? - I don't know, but if we're two.
Two accomplices?
For instance, one is the look out,
or distracts him, while the other...
Too complicated.
I don't know, I'm thinking.
I can't go there when he's there.
But maybe. - I can.
How?
There, it's our pact.
If I succeed,
if I retrieve your ring.
Don't ask me how.
Surprise.
Expecting someone else? - No, I expect nothing, no one.
Are you alone, can we talk?
I have work, but come in.
Why do you want to talk?
You don't have the slightest idea?
If it's about Camille, I have nothing to say.
When you talk about Camille, it's my wife.
You have a tendency to forget. I'm here to remind you.
Ram it into your brain.
Quite a program.
You're funny, you know.
Today, I'm funny. But a century ago,
for instance in Vienna, we'd settle on the Prater with pistols.
I miss those times.
Today, I miss it dearly.
A duel to death.
Quite an original fantasy.
Don't joke, I might take you up on it.
Really? - Yes, really.
I might challenge you. - I'd love it.
But you don't think it feasible. How convenient.
With pistols?
You've prepared something.
Less enthusiastic?
On the contrary. You make me laugh.
You've laughed once too many.
You're the offended?
The offended chooses weapons and place.
Exactly.
Are you seriously serious? - Do I look like I'm joking?
What do you choose? - Come to the theatre
at four, tomorrow,
use the actors' entrance.
I'll be there.
That's the place. - And the weapon?
You'll see.
Till death? - Till death.
I'll be there.
Come, Salter!
Remember, Boffi, to send all my things.
The car is outside? I'll go like this!
Like this! - Let's go.
No wait! And us?
How? - Like this?
Let's be serious.
Good evening.
You should have told me, to chill the champagne.
How original.
Where do these stairs lead?
A terrace where I dry my laundry.
It's nice.
It's very nice.
You're surprised? - A bit.
I do what I want.
Just like that? - Not quite.
But we'll do as if.
You sleep here?
A bit close to the door, no?
On the mezzanine, in the morning, the light is too bright.
I changed the sheets.
I don't know why I said that. - A thoughtful touch.
Don't say anything.
I like you,
especially when you don't seem to know everything.
I really like you.
I came to make you an offer.
Mind you, take it or leave it.
If you're not interested, I leave right away.
Speak up.
I give you this night.
This night only.
After- never again.
Never. A harsh word.
Never.
Yes or no?
If it's yes I stay.
If it's no, I go for the door. Choose.
I give you three minutes.
Where is the bathroom?
There, at the end of the hall.
It's yes.
Sugar.
Salt.
Flour.
Already? - I said: "this night only".
It's dawn.
Get the eggs. In the refrigerator.
Mother, is it really necessary?
The eggs? - No.
Mr. Bassani was really charming,
he loves cakes.
They're leaving tomorrow, I want to do something.
I said I would, I am doing something.
Anything but zuppa inglese, it's awful.
Then something else.
Give me an idea, stop criticizing.
This, done and redone.
I don't know this one.
Might be something in here.
What is this? - What?
It's not a cookbook.
"Il gestino" "Testino"
Let me see.
"Il
Festino Veneziano."
It's great!
It was an "F"!
What's wrong, are you mad? - Yes!
Joyously mad, mother! It's great!
Make it simple, your Black Forest recipe. It's delicious.
Tell me what to do, mother. - Fine. Get the eggs.
A Russian roulette, is that it? - Are you afraid?
No, curious. Even for a Russian roulette, why go up so high?
Do you have vertigo? - Not particularly.
Can you stand liquor?
Won't you explain the principle?
We go up to the flies,
a kind of gangplank.
In the middle, there are two bottles.
Vodka.
Full bottles. One for each.
We stand straight and drink. That's it.
The first to fall wins.
Loses.
That's what I meant.
It could be simpler, but it's your choice of weapons.
Your choice.
I would have done the same.
A friendly advice: never look down.
Thanks.
Pretty stiff. - Pretty.
What is that scenery?
A spot of Venetia.
It's all relative.
The only certainty,
is the law of gravity.
I told you. You were warned.
It's a game. We can change the rules.
If we cheat, yes.
But I don't cheat.
I don't see you. You don't exist.
Not true.
If I touch you, you tremble.
Don't fight it, Camille, come to me.
You're ridiculous. Leave.
You despise me. - We made a pact,
a contract, whatever.
Act like a man, and respect our agreement.
Like a man, all is said.
All is said. Leave.
I won't tell you a third time.
You are destroying me.
I'm sorry, Arthur, but you started it.
And now it's over.
E finita la commedia, curtains.
No appeal?
A few unpleasant nights and it will pass.
You're wrong. It won't pass.
But all is well.
You are beautiful.
Of character too.
You've changed me.
Camille, I'm not the same,
and you can't see it.
I'll think of you every time.
I will think of you.
Goodbye.
A clown's joke, your duel.
You too, you're a clown.
First time I'm called that.
A clown a philosophical one.
No, it's not me
Heidegger.
With his little hat.
He has a hat?
Had. He's dead.
And a beret too.
And the baffi?
Moustaches.
Yes, moustaches.
Like the great prealpian thinkers.
Pre alpian?
All the prealpian thinkers
have.
Baffi. - You should have some.
I have them. Thanks. In a drawer.
We don't have any you get or give.
Moustaches?
No.
You are drunk my friend.
I am not drunk, I'm floating, look.
I shouldn't say, but it's pitching.
A friendly advice,
never.
You said it before
friends like you.
You know we could have been.
To life or to death.
To death.
I'll be married in the year.
What?
"But where there is peril
there grows what saves!"
How do we get out of this?
Where's the exit?
Where is everyone?
Anyone here?
Hello mother. What are you doing here?
I never see you. Out for a walk?
I'm looking for the exit.
I'm lost.
Ugo, you will never guess, you will drop dead!
It's already done, Madame, or almost.
It's nothing, you know.
Hello Arturo.
Guess what one finds kneading dough!
I don't know, a fibula?
This!
Where is he going? - The toilet, I think. I hope.
What's wrong Arthur?
Hello Sonia. - I'm looking for Pierre.
He left me a message.
He's in danger. Seen him?
I'm here.
What are you doing there?
I'm here for no one.
It's me Sonia!
Stop clowning around. Come down, I'm scared of heights!
No. Don't disturb me, I'm sleeping.
If you don't come down right away I'll come and get you.
Come. I'm sleeping!
What have you done to him? - Nothing, Sonia.
We had to settle it,
but I didn't want anyone to die.
So
Thank you. - You're welcome.
I had a bit to drink,
but what I saw, is what I saw?
Yes, what you were looking for.
I am overjoyed.
But at the same time. It hurts.
I'm so sad I could cry.
I think I shall.
Here,
keep it.
If I touch it again,
I'll take it and leave with it.
Make a good photocopy, and send it to me.
Alright? But
don't forget:
if I put on a show
the manuscript will loose its.
If you put up the show, I'll see it. That's all.
Sorry. I've held back too long.
Mission accomplished.
Tempus fugit, manet amor.
Congratulations. You won it, keep it.
The fruit of your exploits. I feel better without it.
A thousand times better. I feel lighter.
Pierre. I'm coming up!
What did you do to her?
Take me in your arms.
Are you coming to Vienna? - To the end of the world.
Here, a present.
It's a fake? - Want to hear a figure?
We're saved!
The company is saved. The theatre is saved.
The world is saved. - We are saved.
Stop sulking, you look like a wet cocker.
All's well, Do, all is very well.
Will you dance?
Who wants the first slice?
No one wants any?
