Tous les garçons et les filles de leur âge... (1993–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Travolta et moi - full transcript
SIXTH AGE
"THE END OF THE SEVENTIES"
- I'm getting off here.
- Stay a little more.
- To do what?
- To do nothing.
And you, Nicolas?
What do you think?
Leave if you don't know.
- Fine! Bye then.
- Wait!
No!
You're really annoying
always having it your way.
Why did you say that to her?
Make sure what you want
once, you'll want always.
Yeah, right. Do you think
I'm gonna take you seriously?
With your bullshit, she
didn't make out with me.
- You saw though.
- Saw what?
- How I flirted
- What a great goal!
Easy to say. I'd like to see you try.
You talk a lot but what are you doing?
Come on, don't get angry. To get
a girl, you just need to want her.
Look! I'll fuck the third girl who
gets on the bus. You're on?
- Why the third one?
- The fourth if you want.
- Hey girls!
- Hey!
I'm not asking anything
about tomorrow.
Too bad, the girl on the
bike is really great.
- That's my cousin.
- I don't believe you.
Whatever. She's
a great ice skater.
- What are you waiting for? Christmas?
- Yes!!!
She looks stupid.
Whatever, a bet's a bet.
- I'm borrowing your OK!
- Sure, I've read it already.
I'm sure they're telling lies about
him. They're always telling lies.
Why do you say that?
You don't even know him?
It's as if I knew him.
You can see how he's like.
- She sucks.
- We're on?
So, are you going?
Wait, she just got on the bus.
She's not gonna leave right away.
Shit, I'm gonna feel nauseated.
- You know that it makes you throw up.
- You should shout it even louder.
Give it to me.
I'll read it to you.
"It's in the snows and the chalets
of the Rockies where he is skiing
that the global wonder of night clubs,
the Italian American our
hearts are breaking for,
has received the OK! correspondent.
John Travolta himself,
the miracle of our year,
sitting upon a couch
made of patchwork.
Listen to this.
"People say I'm always smiling but
that's not true at all you know"
"I do love to have fun, to
laugh just like everyone else."
Then, the star stretches
out his long legs and
gives our correspondent his
fabulous and famous smile.
Is he aware of the devastating
impact that his smile has on his fans?
What's wrong?
Nothing. Why?
You're not listening to me.
I am. They didn't get
John at all in this article.
Right! But you get John, and
you'll see him in America
and you'll even see
him for real, won't you?
Why not?
What's with you?
Nothing. Why?
Are you thinking about
Anne's birthday party?
No. Why?
I'm sure it's gonna be amazing.
You never know with
that snobbish bitch.
Always the pessimist!
What's with you?
Will you stop asking me that?
Smile.
- To whom?
- That blond boy.
It's probably a guy who
does this with all the girls.
You've lost your shoelace.
What are you doing? Aren't you coming
anymore? I thought we had it all set!
I can't!
Hi. I'm sorry but you couldn't get
off the bus without shoelaces.
- You've got some nerve!
- Sit with me, will you?
I've never seen you
on the bus before.
I broke my moped.
So you're going to this bitch's... I
mean, this "snobbish bitch's" party?
- Yeah, do you know her?
- A little, she's my cousin.
Looks like I just goofed.
Not at all. We should always
say what we think.
Anyway, you don't
look like each other.
That's because I look like no else.
You're quite full of yourself.
Is that what you think?
I don't know you well
enough to have an opinion.
What is it?
THUS SPOKE ZARATHUSTRA
Have you read it?
- No. Is it any good?
- It's not good, it's great.
- What do you read?
- A bit of everything.
I feel like you're hurting
yourself reading bullshit.
- What bullshit? How would you know?
- Stuff about Travolta for instance.
Do whatever you want.
You're better than these idiots
always whining "Travolta! Travolta!"
Seems like it makes you laugh.
Laughter is hygienic.
It clears the brain up.
You're really a weird guy.
No, not at all.
Actually, you're like all the rest.
If you don't get Travolta at all,
there's no use explaining it to you!
- Don't get angry.
- I'm not.
- Explain it to me then.
- No!
Damn! I missed my stop.
It's not a big deal. You're
taking life too seriously.
You're dead wrong there.
We could see each
other again if you want.
Sure. When?
Tomorrow at noon, at the entrance
of Pierre Bayen high school?
Alright. I'm Christine.
What about you?
Nicolas. My parents gave me
that name; not their best work.
It's not bad.
Well, then...
See you tomorrow.
Alright.
Bye.
See you tomorrow.
Hey dad!
Why aren't you sleeping?
As you can see,
I'm washing the car.
Yeah.
Your mother told me
you'd gone to Karine's
I'm here after all.
Have a good trip then, Mr. Joly.
I see you've had a talk with my wife.
- That's right.
- Enjoy it. One day goes by quickly.
- Have a good trip. Enjoy it!
- Thank you.
What's going on here?
Why did they wish
you a good trip?
I'm going to Vichy with Mom
tomorrow for a baking convention.
Really? That's nice.
That's why you're washing the car.
Who's going to look after the bakery?
You are.
No, that's not possible.
Can't do it.
Why not?
I have class tomorrow morning.
I'll write you a note.
Right! Only when it suits you.
Otherwise I have to go to school
even when I don't want to.
That's not the same.
It's an exception.
- How do you figure?
- Because of the convention.
I don't care about
your convention.
- I might get a prize.
- I don't care about your prize.
What's with you?
If I'm telling you I can't,
there's a reason, alright!
It's only for tomorrow.
I can't, you should
have told me earlier.
But you usually like it...
Well, I don't anymore!
I'm not some fucking
piece of furniture!
You don't care about me!
You never have!
- You know that's not true!
Leave her, she doesn't
know what she's saying.
I know what I'm saying!
I'm not doing it!
I'm not doing it!
I can't! I can't!
Come on Fred, I'll take you.
- What's with you?
- It's nothing. She's acting out.
Acting out? I won't do it,
you hear me? I won't!
Listen to me, Christine!
Get out of my way!
- I want to be left alone!
- Christine! Christine!
It will work itself out.
Deep down she's a good girl.
Have a good trip anyway.
Thanks.
Fuck! We're in a bind.
Don't get angry.
I'm not. I'm sure she'll
change her mind.
She will have calmed
down by tomorrow but still...
Don't get angry.
Shh! You'll wake
everyone up!
The entire world, you mean!
- Stop it!
- Karine, I'm fucked!
- Why?
Let me tell you. First, the
boy in the bus yesterday...
Which one?
Are you stupid? The blond one.
His name's Nicolas by the way.
I see.
When you left, he
sat down next to me.
I saw that.
We talked a lot.
It was very interesting.
He's not like the others.
He's unlike anyone else.
I've never seen a boy like him.
How do you know? You've
never seen any other boys.
I'm in love with him.
How do you know?
I just know.
What about him?
He totally wants to see me again.
He told me to meet him
at noon in front of his school.
- That's great then!
- It's not, I'm fucked!
Why?
Because my stupid parents want me to
look after the bakery for the weekend.
Shit. You won't be able
to go to Anne's party.
I don't give a shit
about Anne's party.
Some kind of pathetic
after-school thing for retards.
- You think?
- Yeah, it's gonna suck.
But that's not my point!
You have to help me with Nicolas.
You'll meet him at noon
in front of the school.
You tell him I got held up and
you bring him to me at the bakery.
It bothers me.
- What do you mean?
- What am I gonna say to him?
What I just told you!
It's not that hard, is it?
It still bothers me.
I don't even know him.
Then, you'll get to know him.
Can't you do me
this favor for once?
Alright then.
Thanks, you're great! You're my
best friend... but you're freezing!
Get back in before
you catch a cold.
- Bye!
- Bye!
You're sure you'll recognize him?
Of course!
There!
There she is!
Where were you?
- Where were you?
- I took the dog out to piss.
- "Took the dog out to piss"?
- Leave her alone.
- Hey!
- Hey!
- You stubborn girl...
- Leave her alone.
Don't forget the delivery
to the youth hostel.
Yes, ten baguettes.
- You had anything to drink?
- No.
- There's still coffee upstairs.
- I don't want any.
The rest is downstairs when
you're done with these.
- I know. I'm not stupid.
- Don't talk to me like that!
No one talks to me that way!
Let's go Jean-Jacques
or we'll be late.
Get Fred, please.
We'll drop off Fred at
Grandma's. It's on the way.
What's happened to your
shoelace? Have you lost it?
Yeah.
You know, I'll buy you
these little blue shoes.
- There's no need.
- Yes, there is.
- I'm telling you I won't wear them.
- Yes, you will.
I'm telling you I won't wear them!
You're really like
your father! Why not?
Don't you talk to your mother that way!
I won't wear them because
no one wears them anymore.
Let's go Jean-Jacques.
- Bye, honey.
- Bye.
Bye, Christine.
- Good morning.
- Morning, ma'am.
Is your mother ill?
No, she went to Vichy with my
father for a baking convention.
I see.
Give me four croissants
and a big one.
Your parents are lucky to have a big
girl like you to look after the shop.
There you go.
That will be 9...
Bye. Good luck with it.
- Good morning.
- Morning, ma'am.
- Good morning. Apologies.
- We thought no one was in.
Two small ones, please.
- Sorry?
- Two small ones, please.
It's tough to get up in
the morning, isn't it?
It is!
Bye! Sir?
I'd like a big baguette, please.
Can you cut it in half?
Your mother usually wraps it for me.
Ah, it's the radio.
What did you think it was?
It's my cassette tape.
There's a lot of music here!
- Where are your parents?
- Vichy.
- When are they getting back?
- Don't know. What will it be?
Three eclairs and a peach.
Which flavors?
Two coffee and one chocolate.
- 13,60.
- Are you in love or something?
Are you crazy?
- Never mind then. Bye.
- Bye.
Idiot.
What time is it?
There you are, ma'am.
Thank you. Bye.
"My ego taught me a new
pride, I teach it to mankind."
"No longer bury your head in
the sand of heavenly things,
but bear it freely instead,
an earthly head
that creates a
meaning for the earth!"
[Bee Gees's 'How Deep Is
Your Love' starts playing].
"My ego taught me a new
pride, I teach it to mankind..."
"but the tightrope walker, believing
that these words concerned him".
Hey!
Hey! Do you have the time?
Shit!
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
Have your parents left?
MY PARENTS ARE NEITHER SICK
OR ON VACATION. THEY'RE IN VICHY
FOR A BAKING CONVENTION. THEY'LL
BE BACK TOMORROW.
- Ah, they're in Vichy.
- What will it be?
Two rum babas.
We're out of babas!
8 francs.
I didn't ask for tartlets,
I asked for babas!
Give me a second, alright!
I'm sorry.
- What time is it?
- 11 am.
Thanks.
She can't come.
She got held up.
She asked me to tell you
to meet her at the bakery.
- "She"? Who's "she"?
- Christine.
Who's Christine?
You know, the girl you
met on the bus yesterday.
Listen, she's waiting for you at
number 4, Place des Fils Aymon.
That's the bakery.
Yesterday? When exactly yesterday?
Yesterday! Bye then.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- You always surprise me.
- Not as much as I surprise myself.
So, when will you introduce
me to your cousin?
How do you want me
to give you the change?
I'm like you, I'm waiting
to get some first.
I'd like a big bag too.
Excuse me.
Excuse me, sir.
Don't push.
Hey!
- Where's Nicolas?
- I don't know.
They have some nerve these two!
The music, the language, really it's...
I'll be right back.
Damn it! You didn't get him!
You've ruined everything!
Now he'll think I don't care about him!
I swear, I told him!
Why didn't he come?
He doesn't want to come?
No, he didn't say that.
Only he can't come now,
he's having lunch at his aunt's.
- Anne's mother?
- His aunt is Anne's mother?
Well, there you have it.
- He's eating at Anne's mother then.
- Miss!
I'll be right here!
What did he say? Why is
he eating there?
That's normal, it's her birthday.
Yes, but what did he
say to you exactly?
He said "I can't come cause
I have to go to my aunt's
but I'll come by this afternoon".
- What about the address?
- I gave it to him.
So?
Give me two big ones.
I have to go.
Wait.
I'll get in trouble
if I'm late for lunch.
- Come back after then?
- I will!
- Don't forget!
- I swear!
Do you have some change?
I'm done. Should I deliver this
to the Cloche Rouge Hotel?
There's some bread left in the back.
See you tomorrow.
One chocolate and two
coffee cream puffs, please.
They fell?
Yes but no worries.
Shit... sorry.
That will be 12.80.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I messed up. I dropped
it on the ground.
- Can I help?
- No, it's fine.
You didn't go to your aunt then?
No.
- But you saw Karine?
- Yeah, I did.
She's completely crazy. She told
me you were to your aunt's.
Why would she tell you that?
I don't know. Never mind.
I bought it. You made
me want to read it.
I had never read anything
like that. It's beautiful.
- You really like it?
- Yeah, I love it.
Makes a change from Travolta.
Well, they're both dancers.
Hello, I'd like a big apple tart.
It's nice for you to come by.
Well, what do you want?
I'll take two shandies.
- What's over there? The oven?
- Yes!
Can I have a look?
I've never seen one.
Sure, go ahead.
Careful with the stairs though!
- I'm scared now!
- Yeah, right.
What about my shandies?
Coming.
- So, now you how it looks like.
- Yeah.
You want to learn
how to make pastry?
Why not?
Did you take the bus?
No, I walked. I'm getting
my moped after this.
- Are you happy then?
- "Happy" is a bit much.
The moped is useful but I'm not
dreaming of the Bol d'Or.
- What's the Bol d'Or?
- An endurance race.
Stop!
- Damn it! It's really not the time...
- Don't go.
- I'm fed up with the bakery.
- Don't do it then.
I wish I could.
Why? You should never do
what you don't want to do.
You only do things you want?
I don't know what I want to do but
I know what I don't want to do.
- So, was it good?
- Yeah.
Can I take a drag?
No!
No!
No.
- Why?
- Cause I don't want to.
That's stupid.
No, you're the one who's stupid.
Yeah you're right. One always
has to do what they want.
Go then. There are
people waiting for you.
Are you leaving?
That'll be 39,20 for the cake.
There you go.
- Sorry
- Thank you.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Hello Christine!
I'll have two small baguettes and
three apricot turnovers for my boys.
Really? They left?
- What's wrong?
- Nothing. It'll pass.
They shouldn’t have left you
alone. You're still too young.
- No, that's not it.
- What is it then?
Nothing. I'm fine.
Are you sure?
Yes, it's just nerves.
There you go. Thanks
ma'am. That'll be 15,20.
Are you really sure you'll be alright?
Yes!
I've had it up to here!
Can't Dad sort his
fucking paperwork?
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
What's going on?
I saw Nicolas.
That's great!
No, it didn't go well.
What do you mean?
I'm an idiot, Karine.
I meet a nice guy for
once and I act like an idiot.
But what did you do?
Nothing.
That's the problem,
I did nothing.
You'll do it when
you see him again.
I'll never see him again!
You have to see him again.
You have to see him
again. I'm sure of it.
I don't even know where he lives.
That's easy, you just
need to ask Anne.
Yeah, Anne will know.
What about the bakery?
I have to get back.
Could you ask her
and come to tell me?
Right now?
Yes. I'll write him a letter.
Do you mind?
- No, it's fine.
- Then you come tell me right away.
Yes.
You're nice, Karine. Thanks.
Could you also try and find
out if he has a girlfriend?
Here's your moped. I fixed it.
You know how to fix
stuff up. That's good.
Right... So, when are you
going to introduce me to Anne?
- Who's Anne?
- Don't start...
She doesn't want
to go out with you.
She's not the girl you're
gonna make out with.
How would you know?
- You didn't even introduced me.
- You're not presentable.
She doesn't want to go out
with anybody at her party.
- She told you that?
- What do you think?
She told me she wants to be free.
You know what free means?!
You're not gonna make out
with your cousin, are you?
It might be easier.
It would do you good.
It would make your head spin.
You'd see the world differently.
"Nicolas,
I love you. I apologize for
my behavior at the bakery.
It will be better next time."
So?
Anne wasn't there. She
won't be back until tonight.
Did you ask her
mother for the address?
It was difficult.
- What are you doing?
- Why was it difficult?
I'm looking for the
apprentice's address.
I know he's going to the party.
- I'll ask him.
- Too late!
Why too late?
It has to be now otherwise it's
too late. You don't understand!
What happened with him exactly?
It's complicated.
I have to go!
Where?
To the skating rink! I have
to see him myself, that's all.
You're crazy! You can't
go, there's the bakery.
- I can't find it!
- Find what?
The address.
You go and find the apprentice.
You tell him he won't have
to clean up. I'll do it all myself.
You don't have the address
and I don't have the name.
I have his name.
They'll give you his
address at the post office.
You tell him he's fired
if he doesn't come.
I can't tell him that.
- Hello.
- Hello.
What kind of chocolate do you have?
There!
You're already back?
- Where does he live?
- Don't know. Couldn't get it.
They don't know
him at the post office.
He has to come!
You must not have asked
properly. Get back there.
I tried everything. There's
nothing to be done, just stop.
I bet you didn't try hard because
you're sure he wouldn't have come.
Is that good?
Yes, it's chocolate.
You could answer my
questions more politely.
- Chocolate is chocolate.
- How much is this?
7 francs.
- You're really hyper.
- Yeah, yeah...
I know it's not fun
for you, Christine.
I have an idea. You'll
tell me what you think.
What is it?
First I'll go to the skating rink,
right now to see Nicolas, and
you'll look after the bakery.
I can explain it all in five
minutes. Piece of cake.
So, I won't go to the party?
Just in the beginning.
It's impossible.
Why?
Because I want to
go to the party too!
But you will!
I'm sure you won't come back.
Yes, I will.
- I don't believe you.
- I'm telling you I will.
Listen, Karine.
I'll come back!
No, I want to go to the party!
I can't believe you're
even asking me to do this!
It's closed.
Fuck!
Taxi!
What size are you?
Put your skates on, Christine!
Happy birthday!
It's awesome here!
You got away.
I'm glad to see you!
I did incredible things
to come to your party.
- Nicolas
- We met.
You're ridiculous.
- There are worse things.
- Like what?
- The fear of being ridiculous.
- Are you talking about me?
That's right. Go on then.
- Where are you going?
- I'm leaving.
Stay. There's this great
guy who dances like Travolta.
It's Anne's skating teacher. Look!
I don't give a shit
about Travolta.
Did you see Nicolas?
I can't let you leave like this.
Not after a day like this.
It's not a "day like this"!
You know, if he's like that
he doesn't deserve you.
Stop it with your bullshit.
It's not bullshit, it's disasters after
disasters. Everything went wrong.
With all that you've done for him,
going to the school, writing a letter...
everything went wrong.
- And the bakery burned down.
She's not here.
Come on, you haven't eaten
any cake. It's really good.
Cake? Are you shitting me?
I eat cake all day at home!
I hate cake!
If you want to be nice
to me, find that woman
So I can get my shoes back
and get the hell out of here!
Come on!
This is Igor, Anne's skating
teacher I told you about.
Who are the shoes for? Her?
She doesn't have a receipt?
No. They're red shoes.
No luck. We have to
wait for Madeleine.
No worries.
We'll wait.
I saw you skate earlier.
You skate so well!
It looks like you're
dancing like Travolta.
- Really?
- Yes, you're a champ.
In Russia I was a champ.
Such is life.
What's with your friend?
It's nothing. She's having a bad day.
She wants to be left alone.
Something wrong?
Don't cry like that.
Your life isn't that sad or hard.
It's not sad, it's ugly.
Come on, let's skate.
I don't know how and
I don't want to.
- You're scared?
- No, I'm not.
- You are scared.
- No, I'm not.
Come on, give me your hand.
Lift your head up.
There, good!
Let's go.
You're not skating anymore?
I will, later.
Your party is awesome!
Really? You're having fun?
Try to do this.
Very nice. Lift your head up.
More. More.
Let's go. Good!
Don't be scared. Let's go!
That's my buddy Nicolas.
Always cheerful-looking.
Always stupid-looking.
Oh by the way,
I saw your little bet.
- What bet?
- The one you lost.
- Not over yet.
- She didn't wait for you.
We'll see.
- Can you pour me a drink?
- Sure. A small or a tall one?
- A tall one.
- You got it.
Come, let's skate!
- Do you like it?
- Yeah it's great!
With you, I feel like
I know how to skate!
- Are you hurt?
- No.
- You're sure you're alright?
- Yeah.
- We fall sometimes when we skate.
- Gotta know how to fall.
- Stop. Stop it...
- Stop laughing.
You're not gonna
get angry, are you?
You ever think about something
other than skating in your life?
Sometimes.
I think about other
things sometimes.
Let me get up.
Let's go take care
of that, shall we?
I'll do it on my own.
Thanks for the skating.
- Should we start again?
- Start what?
Let's stop with the bullshit.
I agree.
Come.
I wrote you a letter then I lost it.
Come.
[Quoting from Rimbaud:]
"Everything monstrous violates
Hortense's atrocious gestures.
Her solitude is the erotic machinery;
her lassitude, the amorous dynamic."
- Is that yours?
"Her door is open to poverty.
There, the morality of living beings is
disembodied in her passion or action."
"Oh, terrible shudder of unskilled loves
on the blood-stained floor and
amongst transparent find Hortense!"
It doesn't matter.
It could be from you.
Good thing you caught me.
I was about to leave.
I would have kicked myself.
- What are you doing tomorrow?
- I don't know. Why?
- We could go for a walk.
- Yeah, what time?
- Would 3 pm be alright?
- OK, where will we go?
- I don't know. Wherever you want.
- OK.
Come, let's get Christine.
Your friend? What for?
Listen, she's my best friend
and she's having a bad day.
She lost Nicolas and
the bakery burned down.
I was there three times today but
I wasn't when it burned down.
Do not open your
eyes until I come back.
I will open them.

"THE END OF THE SEVENTIES"
- I'm getting off here.
- Stay a little more.
- To do what?
- To do nothing.
And you, Nicolas?
What do you think?
Leave if you don't know.
- Fine! Bye then.
- Wait!
No!
You're really annoying
always having it your way.
Why did you say that to her?
Make sure what you want
once, you'll want always.
Yeah, right. Do you think
I'm gonna take you seriously?
With your bullshit, she
didn't make out with me.
- You saw though.
- Saw what?
- How I flirted
- What a great goal!
Easy to say. I'd like to see you try.
You talk a lot but what are you doing?
Come on, don't get angry. To get
a girl, you just need to want her.
Look! I'll fuck the third girl who
gets on the bus. You're on?
- Why the third one?
- The fourth if you want.
- Hey girls!
- Hey!
I'm not asking anything
about tomorrow.
Too bad, the girl on the
bike is really great.
- That's my cousin.
- I don't believe you.
Whatever. She's
a great ice skater.
- What are you waiting for? Christmas?
- Yes!!!
She looks stupid.
Whatever, a bet's a bet.
- I'm borrowing your OK!
- Sure, I've read it already.
I'm sure they're telling lies about
him. They're always telling lies.
Why do you say that?
You don't even know him?
It's as if I knew him.
You can see how he's like.
- She sucks.
- We're on?
So, are you going?
Wait, she just got on the bus.
She's not gonna leave right away.
Shit, I'm gonna feel nauseated.
- You know that it makes you throw up.
- You should shout it even louder.
Give it to me.
I'll read it to you.
"It's in the snows and the chalets
of the Rockies where he is skiing
that the global wonder of night clubs,
the Italian American our
hearts are breaking for,
has received the OK! correspondent.
John Travolta himself,
the miracle of our year,
sitting upon a couch
made of patchwork.
Listen to this.
"People say I'm always smiling but
that's not true at all you know"
"I do love to have fun, to
laugh just like everyone else."
Then, the star stretches
out his long legs and
gives our correspondent his
fabulous and famous smile.
Is he aware of the devastating
impact that his smile has on his fans?
What's wrong?
Nothing. Why?
You're not listening to me.
I am. They didn't get
John at all in this article.
Right! But you get John, and
you'll see him in America
and you'll even see
him for real, won't you?
Why not?
What's with you?
Nothing. Why?
Are you thinking about
Anne's birthday party?
No. Why?
I'm sure it's gonna be amazing.
You never know with
that snobbish bitch.
Always the pessimist!
What's with you?
Will you stop asking me that?
Smile.
- To whom?
- That blond boy.
It's probably a guy who
does this with all the girls.
You've lost your shoelace.
What are you doing? Aren't you coming
anymore? I thought we had it all set!
I can't!
Hi. I'm sorry but you couldn't get
off the bus without shoelaces.
- You've got some nerve!
- Sit with me, will you?
I've never seen you
on the bus before.
I broke my moped.
So you're going to this bitch's... I
mean, this "snobbish bitch's" party?
- Yeah, do you know her?
- A little, she's my cousin.
Looks like I just goofed.
Not at all. We should always
say what we think.
Anyway, you don't
look like each other.
That's because I look like no else.
You're quite full of yourself.
Is that what you think?
I don't know you well
enough to have an opinion.
What is it?
THUS SPOKE ZARATHUSTRA
Have you read it?
- No. Is it any good?
- It's not good, it's great.
- What do you read?
- A bit of everything.
I feel like you're hurting
yourself reading bullshit.
- What bullshit? How would you know?
- Stuff about Travolta for instance.
Do whatever you want.
You're better than these idiots
always whining "Travolta! Travolta!"
Seems like it makes you laugh.
Laughter is hygienic.
It clears the brain up.
You're really a weird guy.
No, not at all.
Actually, you're like all the rest.
If you don't get Travolta at all,
there's no use explaining it to you!
- Don't get angry.
- I'm not.
- Explain it to me then.
- No!
Damn! I missed my stop.
It's not a big deal. You're
taking life too seriously.
You're dead wrong there.
We could see each
other again if you want.
Sure. When?
Tomorrow at noon, at the entrance
of Pierre Bayen high school?
Alright. I'm Christine.
What about you?
Nicolas. My parents gave me
that name; not their best work.
It's not bad.
Well, then...
See you tomorrow.
Alright.
Bye.
See you tomorrow.
Hey dad!
Why aren't you sleeping?
As you can see,
I'm washing the car.
Yeah.
Your mother told me
you'd gone to Karine's
I'm here after all.
Have a good trip then, Mr. Joly.
I see you've had a talk with my wife.
- That's right.
- Enjoy it. One day goes by quickly.
- Have a good trip. Enjoy it!
- Thank you.
What's going on here?
Why did they wish
you a good trip?
I'm going to Vichy with Mom
tomorrow for a baking convention.
Really? That's nice.
That's why you're washing the car.
Who's going to look after the bakery?
You are.
No, that's not possible.
Can't do it.
Why not?
I have class tomorrow morning.
I'll write you a note.
Right! Only when it suits you.
Otherwise I have to go to school
even when I don't want to.
That's not the same.
It's an exception.
- How do you figure?
- Because of the convention.
I don't care about
your convention.
- I might get a prize.
- I don't care about your prize.
What's with you?
If I'm telling you I can't,
there's a reason, alright!
It's only for tomorrow.
I can't, you should
have told me earlier.
But you usually like it...
Well, I don't anymore!
I'm not some fucking
piece of furniture!
You don't care about me!
You never have!
- You know that's not true!
Leave her, she doesn't
know what she's saying.
I know what I'm saying!
I'm not doing it!
I'm not doing it!
I can't! I can't!
Come on Fred, I'll take you.
- What's with you?
- It's nothing. She's acting out.
Acting out? I won't do it,
you hear me? I won't!
Listen to me, Christine!
Get out of my way!
- I want to be left alone!
- Christine! Christine!
It will work itself out.
Deep down she's a good girl.
Have a good trip anyway.
Thanks.
Fuck! We're in a bind.
Don't get angry.
I'm not. I'm sure she'll
change her mind.
She will have calmed
down by tomorrow but still...
Don't get angry.
Shh! You'll wake
everyone up!
The entire world, you mean!
- Stop it!
- Karine, I'm fucked!
- Why?
Let me tell you. First, the
boy in the bus yesterday...
Which one?
Are you stupid? The blond one.
His name's Nicolas by the way.
I see.
When you left, he
sat down next to me.
I saw that.
We talked a lot.
It was very interesting.
He's not like the others.
He's unlike anyone else.
I've never seen a boy like him.
How do you know? You've
never seen any other boys.
I'm in love with him.
How do you know?
I just know.
What about him?
He totally wants to see me again.
He told me to meet him
at noon in front of his school.
- That's great then!
- It's not, I'm fucked!
Why?
Because my stupid parents want me to
look after the bakery for the weekend.
Shit. You won't be able
to go to Anne's party.
I don't give a shit
about Anne's party.
Some kind of pathetic
after-school thing for retards.
- You think?
- Yeah, it's gonna suck.
But that's not my point!
You have to help me with Nicolas.
You'll meet him at noon
in front of the school.
You tell him I got held up and
you bring him to me at the bakery.
It bothers me.
- What do you mean?
- What am I gonna say to him?
What I just told you!
It's not that hard, is it?
It still bothers me.
I don't even know him.
Then, you'll get to know him.
Can't you do me
this favor for once?
Alright then.
Thanks, you're great! You're my
best friend... but you're freezing!
Get back in before
you catch a cold.
- Bye!
- Bye!
You're sure you'll recognize him?
Of course!
There!
There she is!
Where were you?
- Where were you?
- I took the dog out to piss.
- "Took the dog out to piss"?
- Leave her alone.
- Hey!
- Hey!
- You stubborn girl...
- Leave her alone.
Don't forget the delivery
to the youth hostel.
Yes, ten baguettes.
- You had anything to drink?
- No.
- There's still coffee upstairs.
- I don't want any.
The rest is downstairs when
you're done with these.
- I know. I'm not stupid.
- Don't talk to me like that!
No one talks to me that way!
Let's go Jean-Jacques
or we'll be late.
Get Fred, please.
We'll drop off Fred at
Grandma's. It's on the way.
What's happened to your
shoelace? Have you lost it?
Yeah.
You know, I'll buy you
these little blue shoes.
- There's no need.
- Yes, there is.
- I'm telling you I won't wear them.
- Yes, you will.
I'm telling you I won't wear them!
You're really like
your father! Why not?
Don't you talk to your mother that way!
I won't wear them because
no one wears them anymore.
Let's go Jean-Jacques.
- Bye, honey.
- Bye.
Bye, Christine.
- Good morning.
- Morning, ma'am.
Is your mother ill?
No, she went to Vichy with my
father for a baking convention.
I see.
Give me four croissants
and a big one.
Your parents are lucky to have a big
girl like you to look after the shop.
There you go.
That will be 9...
Bye. Good luck with it.
- Good morning.
- Morning, ma'am.
- Good morning. Apologies.
- We thought no one was in.
Two small ones, please.
- Sorry?
- Two small ones, please.
It's tough to get up in
the morning, isn't it?
It is!
Bye! Sir?
I'd like a big baguette, please.
Can you cut it in half?
Your mother usually wraps it for me.
Ah, it's the radio.
What did you think it was?
It's my cassette tape.
There's a lot of music here!
- Where are your parents?
- Vichy.
- When are they getting back?
- Don't know. What will it be?
Three eclairs and a peach.
Which flavors?
Two coffee and one chocolate.
- 13,60.
- Are you in love or something?
Are you crazy?
- Never mind then. Bye.
- Bye.
Idiot.
What time is it?
There you are, ma'am.
Thank you. Bye.

Hey!
Hey! Do you have the time?
Shit!
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
Have your parents left?
MY PARENTS ARE NEITHER SICK
OR ON VACATION. THEY'RE IN VICHY
FOR A BAKING CONVENTION. THEY'LL
BE BACK TOMORROW.
- Ah, they're in Vichy.
- What will it be?
Two rum babas.
We're out of babas!
8 francs.
I didn't ask for tartlets,
I asked for babas!
Give me a second, alright!
I'm sorry.
- What time is it?
- 11 am.
Thanks.
She can't come.
She got held up.
She asked me to tell you
to meet her at the bakery.
- "She"? Who's "she"?
- Christine.
Who's Christine?
You know, the girl you
met on the bus yesterday.
Listen, she's waiting for you at
number 4, Place des Fils Aymon.
That's the bakery.
Yesterday? When exactly yesterday?
Yesterday! Bye then.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- You always surprise me.
- Not as much as I surprise myself.
So, when will you introduce
me to your cousin?
How do you want me
to give you the change?
I'm like you, I'm waiting
to get some first.
I'd like a big bag too.
Excuse me.
Excuse me, sir.
Don't push.
Hey!
- Where's Nicolas?
- I don't know.
They have some nerve these two!
The music, the language, really it's...
I'll be right back.
Damn it! You didn't get him!
You've ruined everything!
Now he'll think I don't care about him!
I swear, I told him!
Why didn't he come?
He doesn't want to come?
No, he didn't say that.
Only he can't come now,
he's having lunch at his aunt's.
- Anne's mother?
- His aunt is Anne's mother?
Well, there you have it.
- He's eating at Anne's mother then.
- Miss!
I'll be right here!
What did he say? Why is
he eating there?
That's normal, it's her birthday.
Yes, but what did he
say to you exactly?
He said "I can't come cause
I have to go to my aunt's
but I'll come by this afternoon".
- What about the address?
- I gave it to him.
So?
Give me two big ones.
I have to go.
Wait.
I'll get in trouble
if I'm late for lunch.
- Come back after then?
- I will!
- Don't forget!
- I swear!
Do you have some change?
I'm done. Should I deliver this
to the Cloche Rouge Hotel?
There's some bread left in the back.
See you tomorrow.
One chocolate and two
coffee cream puffs, please.
They fell?
Yes but no worries.
Shit... sorry.
That will be 12.80.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I messed up. I dropped
it on the ground.
- Can I help?
- No, it's fine.
You didn't go to your aunt then?
No.
- But you saw Karine?
- Yeah, I did.
She's completely crazy. She told
me you were to your aunt's.
Why would she tell you that?
I don't know. Never mind.
I bought it. You made
me want to read it.
I had never read anything
like that. It's beautiful.
- You really like it?
- Yeah, I love it.
Makes a change from Travolta.
Well, they're both dancers.
Hello, I'd like a big apple tart.
It's nice for you to come by.
Well, what do you want?
I'll take two shandies.
- What's over there? The oven?
- Yes!
Can I have a look?
I've never seen one.
Sure, go ahead.
Careful with the stairs though!
- I'm scared now!
- Yeah, right.
What about my shandies?
Coming.
- So, now you how it looks like.
- Yeah.
You want to learn
how to make pastry?
Why not?
Did you take the bus?
No, I walked. I'm getting
my moped after this.
- Are you happy then?
- "Happy" is a bit much.
The moped is useful but I'm not
dreaming of the Bol d'Or.
- What's the Bol d'Or?
- An endurance race.
Stop!
- Damn it! It's really not the time...
- Don't go.
- I'm fed up with the bakery.
- Don't do it then.
I wish I could.
Why? You should never do
what you don't want to do.
You only do things you want?
I don't know what I want to do but
I know what I don't want to do.
- So, was it good?
- Yeah.
Can I take a drag?
No!
No!
No.
- Why?
- Cause I don't want to.
That's stupid.
No, you're the one who's stupid.
Yeah you're right. One always
has to do what they want.
Go then. There are
people waiting for you.
Are you leaving?
That'll be 39,20 for the cake.
There you go.
- Sorry
- Thank you.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Hello Christine!
I'll have two small baguettes and
three apricot turnovers for my boys.
Really? They left?
- What's wrong?
- Nothing. It'll pass.
They shouldn’t have left you
alone. You're still too young.
- No, that's not it.
- What is it then?
Nothing. I'm fine.
Are you sure?
Yes, it's just nerves.
There you go. Thanks
ma'am. That'll be 15,20.
Are you really sure you'll be alright?
Yes!
I've had it up to here!
Can't Dad sort his
fucking paperwork?
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
What's going on?
I saw Nicolas.
That's great!
No, it didn't go well.
What do you mean?
I'm an idiot, Karine.
I meet a nice guy for
once and I act like an idiot.
But what did you do?
Nothing.
That's the problem,
I did nothing.
You'll do it when
you see him again.
I'll never see him again!
You have to see him again.
You have to see him
again. I'm sure of it.
I don't even know where he lives.
That's easy, you just
need to ask Anne.
Yeah, Anne will know.
What about the bakery?
I have to get back.
Could you ask her
and come to tell me?
Right now?
Yes. I'll write him a letter.
Do you mind?
- No, it's fine.
- Then you come tell me right away.
Yes.
You're nice, Karine. Thanks.
Could you also try and find
out if he has a girlfriend?
Here's your moped. I fixed it.
You know how to fix
stuff up. That's good.
Right... So, when are you
going to introduce me to Anne?
- Who's Anne?
- Don't start...
She doesn't want
to go out with you.
She's not the girl you're
gonna make out with.
How would you know?
- You didn't even introduced me.
- You're not presentable.
She doesn't want to go out
with anybody at her party.
- She told you that?
- What do you think?
She told me she wants to be free.
You know what free means?!
You're not gonna make out
with your cousin, are you?
It might be easier.
It would do you good.
It would make your head spin.
You'd see the world differently.
"Nicolas,
I love you. I apologize for
my behavior at the bakery.
It will be better next time."
So?
Anne wasn't there. She
won't be back until tonight.
Did you ask her
mother for the address?
It was difficult.
- What are you doing?
- Why was it difficult?
I'm looking for the
apprentice's address.
I know he's going to the party.
- I'll ask him.
- Too late!
Why too late?
It has to be now otherwise it's
too late. You don't understand!
What happened with him exactly?
It's complicated.
I have to go!
Where?
To the skating rink! I have
to see him myself, that's all.
You're crazy! You can't
go, there's the bakery.
- I can't find it!
- Find what?
The address.
You go and find the apprentice.
You tell him he won't have
to clean up. I'll do it all myself.
You don't have the address
and I don't have the name.
I have his name.
They'll give you his
address at the post office.
You tell him he's fired
if he doesn't come.
I can't tell him that.
- Hello.
- Hello.
What kind of chocolate do you have?
There!
You're already back?
- Where does he live?
- Don't know. Couldn't get it.
They don't know
him at the post office.
He has to come!
You must not have asked
properly. Get back there.
I tried everything. There's
nothing to be done, just stop.
I bet you didn't try hard because
you're sure he wouldn't have come.
Is that good?
Yes, it's chocolate.
You could answer my
questions more politely.
- Chocolate is chocolate.
- How much is this?
7 francs.
- You're really hyper.
- Yeah, yeah...
I know it's not fun
for you, Christine.
I have an idea. You'll
tell me what you think.
What is it?
First I'll go to the skating rink,
right now to see Nicolas, and
you'll look after the bakery.
I can explain it all in five
minutes. Piece of cake.
So, I won't go to the party?
Just in the beginning.
It's impossible.
Why?
Because I want to
go to the party too!
But you will!
I'm sure you won't come back.
Yes, I will.
- I don't believe you.
- I'm telling you I will.
Listen, Karine.
I'll come back!
No, I want to go to the party!
I can't believe you're
even asking me to do this!
It's closed.
Fuck!
Taxi!
What size are you?
Put your skates on, Christine!
Happy birthday!
It's awesome here!
You got away.
I'm glad to see you!
I did incredible things
to come to your party.
- Nicolas
- We met.
You're ridiculous.
- There are worse things.
- Like what?
- The fear of being ridiculous.
- Are you talking about me?
That's right. Go on then.
- Where are you going?
- I'm leaving.
Stay. There's this great
guy who dances like Travolta.
It's Anne's skating teacher. Look!
I don't give a shit
about Travolta.
Did you see Nicolas?
I can't let you leave like this.
Not after a day like this.
It's not a "day like this"!
You know, if he's like that
he doesn't deserve you.
Stop it with your bullshit.
It's not bullshit, it's disasters after
disasters. Everything went wrong.
With all that you've done for him,
going to the school, writing a letter...
everything went wrong.
- And the bakery burned down.
She's not here.
Come on, you haven't eaten
any cake. It's really good.
Cake? Are you shitting me?
I eat cake all day at home!
I hate cake!
If you want to be nice
to me, find that woman
So I can get my shoes back
and get the hell out of here!
Come on!
This is Igor, Anne's skating
teacher I told you about.
Who are the shoes for? Her?
She doesn't have a receipt?
No. They're red shoes.
No luck. We have to
wait for Madeleine.
No worries.
We'll wait.
I saw you skate earlier.
You skate so well!
It looks like you're
dancing like Travolta.
- Really?
- Yes, you're a champ.
In Russia I was a champ.
Such is life.
What's with your friend?
It's nothing. She's having a bad day.
She wants to be left alone.
Something wrong?
Don't cry like that.
Your life isn't that sad or hard.
It's not sad, it's ugly.
Come on, let's skate.
I don't know how and
I don't want to.
- You're scared?
- No, I'm not.
- You are scared.
- No, I'm not.
Come on, give me your hand.
Lift your head up.
There, good!
Let's go.
You're not skating anymore?
I will, later.
Your party is awesome!
Really? You're having fun?
Try to do this.
Very nice. Lift your head up.
More. More.
Let's go. Good!
Don't be scared. Let's go!
That's my buddy Nicolas.
Always cheerful-looking.
Always stupid-looking.
Oh by the way,
I saw your little bet.
- What bet?
- The one you lost.
- Not over yet.
- She didn't wait for you.
We'll see.
- Can you pour me a drink?
- Sure. A small or a tall one?
- A tall one.
- You got it.
Come, let's skate!
- Do you like it?
- Yeah it's great!
With you, I feel like
I know how to skate!
- Are you hurt?
- No.
- You're sure you're alright?
- Yeah.
- We fall sometimes when we skate.
- Gotta know how to fall.
- Stop. Stop it...
- Stop laughing.
You're not gonna
get angry, are you?
You ever think about something
other than skating in your life?
Sometimes.
I think about other
things sometimes.
Let me get up.
Let's go take care
of that, shall we?
I'll do it on my own.
Thanks for the skating.
- Should we start again?
- Start what?
Let's stop with the bullshit.
I agree.
Come.
I wrote you a letter then I lost it.
Come.
[Quoting from Rimbaud:]
"Everything monstrous violates
Hortense's atrocious gestures.
Her solitude is the erotic machinery;
her lassitude, the amorous dynamic."
- Is that yours?
"Her door is open to poverty.
There, the morality of living beings is
disembodied in her passion or action."
"Oh, terrible shudder of unskilled loves
on the blood-stained floor and
amongst transparent find Hortense!"
It doesn't matter.
It could be from you.
Good thing you caught me.
I was about to leave.
I would have kicked myself.
- What are you doing tomorrow?
- I don't know. Why?
- We could go for a walk.
- Yeah, what time?
- Would 3 pm be alright?
- OK, where will we go?
- I don't know. Wherever you want.
- OK.
Come, let's get Christine.
Your friend? What for?
Listen, she's my best friend
and she's having a bad day.
She lost Nicolas and
the bakery burned down.
I was there three times today but
I wasn't when it burned down.
