Roses on Credit

Based on the book by
Elsa Triolet

We'll have lunch in the yard,
our children are already there.

Mr. Donelle, I saw the deux chevaux
car you're giving them.

It's a beauty.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I'll go see about lunch.

Our children are already there,
we'll have lunch in the yard.

Mr. Donelle, I saw the deux chevaux
car you're giving them.

It's a beauty.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I'll go see about lunch.

But...

Where did Mr. Gregorio go?

You know...

They won't get bored.

What do we do?
If you do one or two...

Well, it depends.

Some children have fun alone,
others need a play friend.

You're more of a loner...

Ah my dear!

The photographer
should be here soon.

See, we did well to choose
a veil with pearls.

It adds such charm!

Hello Suzette.

Hello Daniel.

They say when it rains
on your wedding day...

It...

brings you money.

Ah, is that so?

- My feet hurt.
- I couldn't dance any longer.

As a child, I'd steal anything
smooth and shiny.

My mother would say,

"You little thieving magpie!"

My brothers repeated it.

You were so brave.

I remember you'd spy on me
behind the windows.

You knew it was you
I was looking at?

Honestly,
the whole village knew.

I have you now.

Things went well.

My veil!

Out of sight,
out of mind.

Marjoline Donelle.

You like it?

Mrs. Daniel Donelle.

It is my honor
to marry you a second time.

You know this is the most
beautiful day of my life?

Why so sad?

I don't know.

Your marriage, maybe.

Did you fight with Jacques?

Yeah.

You know you can
win him back any time.

No, it's complicated.

I told him we should

wait to find an apartment
before getting married.

So he got angry.

He told me he no longer
wanted to see me.

So it's my fault.

The apartment, you're
buying me on credit...

It could have been yours.

It's awful, Cécile.

Sure, but I don't want
your apartment.

Just don't give it to him,
or I'll be forced to marry.

No, I'll never forgive him.

He doesn't fit with
the style of the house.

He'll come inside
wearing dirty shoes,

walk around half naked,

and he speaks loudly,
so loudly,

and he listens to the news
nonstop,

at any hour,
on any station.

So what you do you really want?

Why are you asking
so many questions?

There you are,
already dressed.

They dined in a brewery
near St. Lazare.

It's all I could find out.

Don't say anything, Mom.

She loves him, no matter what.
Don't tell her.

May I go see if
Mr. Georges is awake?

Of course.

- Yes
- Mr. Georges?

- May I come in?
- Of course.

The happy man I am
wishes you a good day, ma'am.

And Marjoline is sunning herself.

Things are as bad as usual.
No changes to report.

Shall we go downstairs?

Hurry up girls, you'll be late.

I'm going to my room.

Let's have a good
cup of tea, alright?

Eh?

Come on. A nice tea.

No immediate increases
in metro and bus fares.

This decision taken against
the government's advice.

Stubbornly entrenched,

the Socialists.

In favor of the 3,000 franc
minimum wage.

Mr. Robert Schuman
contacts Berlin notables,

and Soviet occupation authorities.

I bought a washing machine.

I thought you were
still paying off loans.

I hadn't used credit in a long time.

If you had your clothes washed,

you'd save years of payments.

Same with your cleaning lady.

She wipes the bidet and the sink
with the same cloth.

Then she serves the bread.

It makes me want to vomit.

How about a new salon
at the entrance, Mr. Georges?

Surely not mahogany.

But it is necessary.

People come over for bridge.

Fine, chic people,
they'd be right to mock me.

- Her friends.
- No.

In any case,
you never visit us.

Cécile neither,
now she's engaged.

She's no longer a child, mom.

You've become so cold.

I would never have imagined.

Labor dispute,
Mr. Pinot...

Has made an agreement
with rail workers committee,

but the CGT union refuses it.

After engaging with

the truculent...

the hero sounded no alarm,
for lack of a radio.

Truculent...

Aviation navigators
were not at fault...

Unions protest requirements...

Do you see the girl?

Trapped in her world.

I hate to see her dancing alone.

Think no one invited her to dance?

It's sad.

Jacques is waiting for me
downstairs.

I'm leaving the Institute.

My God...

You were so happy there.

And your customers?

He made me an offer,
I tell you tomorrow.

Hurry up, you'll be late.

What a story!
Did you tell Mom?

To think I have an appointment
there tomorrow for a hair styling.

Don't go.

They're not happy I'm leaving.

And where will you work?

Is your coat new?

I've never seen it.

Jacques invited me
to a client's store.

A newly opened
fashion house.

Oh! I nearly forgot my pearls!

I'm all flustered by
what you just told me.

I missed you!

You know...
I decided to put it there.

- Really?
- Yes.

- They had blue and white...
- Yes...

Or else gray and white,
I thought blue and white was nicer.

You were right,
there's no better mattress.

- Of course...
- It's vitally important...

- Don't make fun of me!
- I wasn't.

- You were! A little bit.
- Just facing off.

- Well alright.
- More sporting.

I'm glad you found this room.

Yes.

You don't like reading?
I never see you with a book.

I don't care for
the stories of others.

My own are plenty.

Aww.

Tell me then,

you who'll only accept
perfection...

How do you
endure my calluses?

With great difficulty.

And if I went bald?

Put on weight?

If I had a disfiguring accident?

Would you still love me?

You're the beginning
and the end.

You could be covered in shit,
I'd wash you off.

I'd never have imagined.

Me neither.

Don't touch me, dear.

It's hot!

Did anyone seen my spatula jar?

I've been searching
since this morning.

Pardon.

Excuse me, don't move.

- Good morning, Corinne.
- Good morning, Mrs. Denise.

- May I leave my bag?
- Yes, thank you.

- Good morning, girls.
- Good morning, Mrs. Denise.

Suzette, this is no time
to vacuum, not the time.

Did you know the new colors
of lipstick arrived?

They're great.

The lipsticks are so beautiful.

And ladies,
lipstick is the crowning touch!

The signature of all makeup.

So, this afternoon
we shall see...

If we can apply them
with grace.

I'm very happy,

they are what completes
a woman's face.

It's beautiful.
We've been blessed this year.

Oh Marjoline...

What a face you're making.

What's wrong?

- I have slight headache.
- Headache?

Many appointments this afternoon?

- All day long.
- Of course...

What can we do?
It's the price of success.

You're in demand.
You're too popular.

Did you finish with
Mrs. Belcourt's facial?

No, I couldn't find
my spatula jar.

- What would you need that for?
- Nothing.

She's a customer,
waiting for you.

I don't understand you, Suzette.
You waste your time.

You spend entire days

loitering in hallways
like a sleepwalker.

This is no good.
You need to get it together.

No, I'm not happy.

And here? Everything is a mess.

Take away this cushion.

Also...

I said the honeycomb towels.

Not the sponges!
Sponges are for the trays.

Good evening, girls.

Not gone yet? It's late.
You didn't need to wait.

How did Mrs. Rhéard's styling go?

- Very well.
- Good.

Girls, don't forget to close
that small grate.

Tuesday will be a big day.

Go, quickly.
Good night, my dears.

- Good evening.
- Good evening.

Good evening, Mrs. Denise.

Marjoline, are you still here?

Yes, but I'm nearly finished.

Very nice.

You wanted to tell me something?

Yes. In fact...

You know...
Remember when we spoke before?

They're asking a huge amount
for the down payment,

and only after they'll allow...

Listen. Excuse me,
but I'm in a hurry.

Excuse me.
I'm almost done.

And only after
they'll allow a payment plan.

Yes. That looks good,
Mme. Gauthier.

- There, I finished.
- Yeah.

- It's quite lovely.
- You like it?

Yes, thanks.

You can settle up next time,
it's no problem.

- Til next time.
- Good evening, Mrs. Gauthier.

Okay, so tell me...

I told you I agreed, right?

But...
I'll need to hold back...

A small amount every month.

I need to be fair
to your colleagues.

I thank you very much.

You know very well,
I like you very much.

Me too.

Saturday...
You like Mr. Dorceaux?

Yes.

We're playing bridge.
Would you like to come?

- Yes, of course.
- It would be a fun distraction.

Good.

Good night, dear.

Close the door.

- And don't forget the lights.
- No, I won't forget.

- Thanks again, Mrs. Denise.
- See you later.

No matter the wind and snow
Bring on a bitter cold

When a good fire protects us
We are very well at home

The air's soft like a caress

It is warm and light

Because in the room there's
a Finée heater

The best heater of all,

Is a Finée heater!

If you only want a stove,
Go see your hardware store!

No more red hot coals

Your child won't complain

Only if you buy
a Finée heater!

Only if you buy
a Finée heater!

What could be worse

than a nail polish
that clashes with your skin tone,

your clothes, or the
color of your hair?

Choose the Saquilac series!

Saquilac enamel will ensure
your beauty and elegance!

Daniel!

You've gone crazy!

What's this marvel?

It's for you.

- Like it?
- For me?

Yes, it's your present.

Like it?

Yes, it's beautiful.

- Sure.
- Red, as you like.

Are you happy?

- You're really happy?
- Sure, I'm happy.

- Then so am I.
- It must have cost a fortune.

Who cares!

- Where are we going?
- To see my grandfather's tree.

- Remember?
- Yes I remember.

- Let's get going.
- You feel cold?

Yes, I'm cold.
I drove three hours.

- Don't regret coming?
- Not at all.

But it's beautiful, isn't it?

- It's not bad.
- Did I make your day?

Wait a little.

Nothing's changed.

It's an old house.

It's beautiful here.

Feel at home?

Come, I'll show you something.

Look here.

We could fix up this part.

It would be our house.

It would cost millions.

Maybe so.

What's with you?

I thought you hated
farm houses.

And I need new things.

I can't live here,
it's impossible.

I had a dream, sorry.

This is where my great-grandfather
planted his first rosebush.

This is where I'd like to
live out my final days.

It's cold, Daniel.

What's happening?

The roses didn't come.

It's a pity.
They were all for you.

I'm sure Bernard
is mixed up in this.

He's been against me
since we were children.

I wouldn't be surprised

if he was the one who
denounced me to the Krauts.

You see his face?
You can tell a collaborator.

I had put stamens in the shade,
in a drawer.

When I came back,
open drawer, empty.

I had prepared my flowers,

with paper cones
around the corolla

to protect from foreign pollen.

When I came back with my brush...
It was an ideal day,

no wind, no sun,

No more paper cones.

A whole year lost
because of him.

What...
What a bastard.

I think
he resents you because...

How can I say?

I think he's vindictive...

because the Krauts
lost the war.

And instead of a firing squad,
you came home a hero.

That's why he hinders you.

It has nothing to do
with chromosomes.

If I accused him,
no one would believe me.

I'm trying
scientific hybridization.

I want to be a scientist,
not a sorcerer, damn it.

Ideally,

I'd try many combinations
of artificial fertilization.

Now that we know
the lineage of plants,

we can count the
number of chromosomes.

We need to mate plants with
equal number of chromosomes

to get the strongest strains.

I won't explain genetics,

but the number 7 is important
when it comes to chromosomes.

If we had a daughter
we could name her Chromosome.

- Ready for bed?
- No.

I'd love to buy your roses.

You know the Queen Alexandras?

That's my son's wife.
"Just looking" will need to be enough.

My grandfather started here
with the Magi's Rose.

He began breeding double flowers,
I prefer the simple flower,

with five petals.

- That's because you're a snob.
- If you wish.

I hope these genetic whims
fade away.

You're scientifically ruining
my best rosebushes.

Tell me...

If grandfather hadn't
been a researcher,

you would be here today?

Over here, we have our way of doing.
And we trust our planters.

I won't introduce them all,
it would take too long.

Greeks created the five-leaf
from the wild rose,

It's hard to imagine it
coming from antiquity, no?

I'm trying to interest
you in this, Marjoline,

now that you're in the family.

You'd have done better
learning poker instead,

at least you wouldn't ruin the cards.

In 20 years, you'll thank me,
you'll see.

Here 20 years,
I'll be dead, kiddo.

- See you at lunch?
- Alright.

You're the one who
wanted to marry Marjoline,

I would never have
meddled in your life.

But your strength of feeling
grants rights to her.

Think about it.

Over here.

First right, directly.

- Hello!
- Hello, Mr. Berger.

- Nice to meet you.
- Hello.

It's a pleasure.
Daniel Donelle.

Here's your new apartment.

Congratulations.

See the view.

The modern decor...

The brightness...

And the large kitchen.
You'll need to set it up.

So I brought these catalogs,
see here.

We have appliances,

for which we have
a payment plan.

You'll need a stove
with an electric oven?

Obviously.

And a refrigerator
with a freezer.

Yes, of course.

And also,
what is important,

a washing machine.

Because today's women

can't keep doing
such menial work.

Am I right?
And look...

The terrace...

Keep the catalog, it's yours.

- Thanks.
- Look, sliding.

Wow!

- How beautiful!
- Beautiful isn't it?

Amazing.

So...
Look at the view.

Then you have the
bright future of the world.

People in front of you
that mirror your own happiness.

Am I right?
So...

Come, I'll show...

Here, by the way, you could
put a camping table.

- Yes, of course.
- We carry lovely ones, you'll see.

They're in the catalog.
Come,

I'll show you the bathroom.

Over here.
Come in, ma'am.

Sir...

Beautiful, isn't it?

- Very beautiful.
- Direct opening to outside.

No odors.

And it has a magnificent sink.

- Ceramic...
- Immense.

Magnificent.
Looks like a spaceship.

- Very beautiful.
- I will show...

- The tiles are also beautiful.
- Aren't they?

So then... Central heating.

A radiator...
A second radiator...

And a third radiator...

They turn off so you control
the heat as you wish.

This is made for, no doubt,

of course you'll decide,

a dining area,

You can even buy a dining set.
We have great catalogs for this.

- These I'll lend you.
- Alright.

I need to go now.

I have a client waiting
on the 3rd floor.

But I'll leave the keys.

Yours from now on.

That's it.

Call me whenever you like.
Study the catalogs.

We can talk later.
I'm at your service.

- See you later.
- Thank you.

- Goodbye, Mr. Berger.
- Ma'am.

- I'll see you out.
- Thank you.

And how do I do it? I call you?

Yes, call me. Anytime.

- Right.
- Goodbye ma'am.

Thanks.
See you later.

Wait, I'll bring these 3 colors.

Suzette, what are you doing?

Magazines are reserved
for our customers.

Put out your cigarette.
How many is that today?

You go too far!
Seriously!

- You live up the hill, right?
- Yeah.

- The same enamel as last time?
- Perfect.

Yes, Marjoline,
I brought 3 colors here.

- Alright...
- With coral...

Coral goes with everything.
Show her?

Yes, of course. Like this one?

- It's lovely.
- Alright.

Give me your hand.

Great.
Rest it here.

- Like it?
- Perfect.

Hang on.
Some touch ups.

- You want two coats?
- Yes.

Well there!

What do you think?

Very nice.
It matches your corsage.

- That's true!
- It's quite well done.

- Good job!
- Thanks.

So lovely!

I'll do the other one.

Look at this.

You like this room?

Yes, very much.

There's another I like, here.

Good night.

- Alright.
- Suzette, like this one?

Not really.

Good night.

What do you think?

- Good evening.
- Good evening.

- You are...
- Daniel.

- That's right.
- Suzette.

My pleasure.

I can't decide.

- Hello sir.
- Hello miss.

Daniel, look...

What do you think of this bedroom?

- So beautiful.
- Beautiful, isn't it?

This one too, look.

- So beautiful.
- What do you think? But, look!

Oh, sorry.

That's very beautiful.

No but... Beautiful, beautiful...
Everything is beautiful.

Which do you prefer?

- This one.
- Why?

Because...
I don't know.

- But tell me.
- Shall we go?

- Sure. What time is it?
- It's half-past eight.

Half-past eight?
You said eight.

- Did I?
- Yes, you're late.

- I made you wait?
- Yes, so hurry up.

Alright.

I'm coming.

- I'm tired.
- A lot of work?

All day long.
Non-stop.

- Are you happy?
- To be with you, yes.

France is ensuring its future.

In launching this great project,
and congratulating its builders,

Mr. Lacoste,
Minister of Industry

highlighted the national importance
of this gigantic monument,

with turbines
the size of a house.

The water held behind
this 300 foot thick dam,

will form a 15 mile long lake

that will cover the abandoned
factories of Belgave

and feed with five turbines,
five alternators,

able to provide
1.6 terawatt hours,

or one tenth of French
hydroelectric production.

In opening the largest dam
in Western Europe

Mr. Lacoste said,

"We see here
an indisputable sign

of France's rebirth.

Here then is a great
achievement nearly accomplished.

Let's not forget there are others,

that are no less urgent.

More have already been initiated."

Today's newlyweds
enter a world with

things worth dreaming about.

A sound world,
convenient, scientific.

A veritable laboratory

with everything designed
for a housekeeper's minimal effort.

Such a dwelling could convince
even the most hardened bachelor

to reconsider marriage.

But, how best to use
all these new machines?

Encyclopedias are there

to answer a woman's
questions in the home

and provide the best solutions
from exacting science, or close enough.

With the convenience of
today's cleaning products,

housework becomes
like a magician's trick.

At the same moment, the
Count of Paris returns to France.

Restoration?
No, coincidence.

Then 48 hours later, Mr. Queuille

finds himself in the first rank
of Pleven's new ministry.

Mr. Schuman launches his plan to
pool Franco-German carbon steel,

first step towards economic
unification in Europe.

Meanwhile, France

Retakes its place
at the South Pole...

On the icy expanse,
the waiter-like penguins,

now watch the tricolor
flying atop the Antarctic.

June. Communist North Korea

invades South Korea,
protectorate of the United States.

A new war began
with uncertain prospects.

President Truman brought
the conflict before the UN,

which entrusted the U.S.
with repelling the invader...

I'm warning you, your cousin Bernard
is plotting something against you.

Really?
You seem pleased.

Personally, I don't care.

He's working,
the rosebushes aren't complaining.

Leave him alone!

I'll be leaving.

No reason Marjoline should
support your gardener.

I took a job in parasitology.

That interests you?

Parasitology?
No, not really.

Putting stones under a rosebush
is easy enough!

No university needed for this job!

Calm down.
Calm down.

I'll send money to Marjoline
every month.

You see?
I want to keep you here.

Come here.

- These rosebushes over here.
- Yeah?

Think a cross strain
would increase the yield?

No, don't think so.
I rather think the opposite.

This is already a hybrid.

A new crossing will
decrease the yield.

You're right.

They're not bad.
I like the color.

A little...
A little pastel, right?

Who made these?

I don't know.
I think Mrs. Georges Drouin.

Not so original.

Not very.

Try with this...

- This one's good.
- Let me see.

I can't see anything.

- No, look.
- Try it.

With larger petals?

It's not so good.

Banal.

Let me see.

There. See?

It's good.

I think this way.

It's not too much?
Yes, it's too much.

- Take it out.
- You'll get a range of color.

Let's see.
If you wet them a bit...

Prettier.

Your father is strange.

He's not like one would think.

I suspect he's
on the side of science.

He complains,
but he helps you out.

Otherwise, why
would he send you

all the rosebushes you need
for your experiments?

He only wanted
to stop the fighting over there.

You're on his side now?

I saw a bedroom I like very much.

It's very modern,
natural wood.

Exactly what I like.

- Which bedroom?
- For the apartment.

It'll have to wait.
Right now we have no money.

But we must furnish it.

I already inquired,
we can pay in installments.

I studied the thing.

With my salary and a boost
from your father or Maman Donzert...

Maman Donzert already paid
for the apartment.

My father, for the car.
All we end up owing everyone.

It's out of the question!

We'll sleep on the floor,
no matter.

No, we won't sleep on the floor.

We will bring a mattress from
here, plus all we need.

For starters,
Stop shouting like that.

You sound like my mother.

It's out of the question,
that I sleep in this rotten mattress.

That smells like sweat.

They're like a coffin.

- You're talking nonsense.
- No, I'm not!

Then you could help me pack.

I'm sick of doing everything
in this house.

Forgive me.

Daniel, I'm sorry.

Kiss me.

You know,
when people use credit once,

they always end up
using it again.

It's so pleasant
to purchase easily.

To offer yourself all this.

Are there many who cannot pay?

Sometimes, but not often.

These women want to work
everything out on their own,

they soon discover
a husband is worth something.

Credit is the mother of war.

Borrow...
Borrow...

But one day you must pay.

So...

I'm counting on you...

For the next payment.

I would not like
for you and I...

to end up in front of the judge.

It's you?

- Good evening, sir.
- Good evening, ma'am.

Her husband is drowning.
No more foolishness, little lady.

- Thank you sir.
- Thanks for your hospitality.

- Good night, sir.
- Good night.

I went to the caterer,
I got you a bottle of wine,

a vol-au-vent and a chicken.

The guy who just left
wanted 20,000 francs.

- Mean anything to you?
- I'll pay him back.

That's not the issue.

Why are you working so late?

I found work
outside the Institute.

I work in customers' homes.

It was tempting
to earn a little more.

Come, let me kiss you.

I need to set the table.

Take this.

Long time since I've seen you.

You know Cécile and Jacques
are getting married?

- Oh?
- Yes.

He works on something...

In a factory. Plastic materials.

He works in Germany,
or something like that.

And I've become good at bridge.

You know Stalin died today?

Yeah I know.
They spoke about it at the Institute.

Do you like those little pillows?
They're cute, right?

So I was saying,
I'm very strong at bridge.

And Mrs. Denise introduced me
to some people

who apparently always
ask after me.

They have an apartment
on the Champs-Élysées.

A beautiful apartment.

It has paintings on the walls.

Magnificent.

Supposedly worth a fortune.

But playing bridge
won't pay for all this.

Ah, I didn't to tell you!

I got a raise.

Ms. Denise gave you a raise.
Great.

Didn't stop you from asking
Maman Donzert

for the latest stove payment.

And how do you know that?

From Cécile, idiot.

She phoned me. Maman Donzert
had to pawn her gold chain.

Cécile wants me to repay it,
before Mr. Georges notices.

I can't borrow from father anymore!

If this goes on, I'll become
an agricultural consultant,

Everyone will leave me alone,
and I can rest.

But it hurts, because

if I could create the Marjoline Donelle,
you'd have everything you want.

Because I only want one thing:
To make you happy.

It disgusts me
to fight over simple objects.

You're becoming a slave to them.

I'm no longer hungry.
Let's sleep.

- You understood the question?
- Yes, it was with Hérold.

Yes, given in 1823
at the Paris Opera,

in collaboration with Hérold,
a lyrical drama in one act.

Wait, I think
that this is... Wait...

With Hérold...
I think it's Vendôme in Spain.

That's right, Vendôme in Spain!

Well, I think, ladies
and gentlemen of the jury that...

Your...
Your...

Stop this!
Stop it!

...that the Heavens,
though not heeding prayers

when it comes to today's weather

and the winds shaking our capital,

But surely heard your wishes

for the success of
Jean-Claude Beaudoin.

He has answered,
"Vendôme in Spain,"

and without hesitation,
you all heard.

So now, it's my duty...

This visit has
something surreal about it.

A romantic girl's tale,
that's all.

We need to talk to her.

Warn her.

Why?

I have nothing against this boy.

What about him worries you?

The passion she has for him,
it isn't normal.

What do we know about him?

He was a hero in the Resistance,
very well,

but then they say that
Bernard was a collaborator, traitor,

This seems exaggerated to me.

If Marjoline is passionate for him,

doesn't mean he has the same
passion for her.

She drives me crazy.

In any case, it's my fault.
That's for sure.

Since we came to Paris,

they never set foot in a church,
and neither did we, either.

I respect your religion, dear wife,

but don't ask me to change
my Sunday habits.

- Is not that, but...
- She's your lucky star.

Is not that, but...no mass,

I feel wrong.

I'm from a family of workers,

so understand my daughters
wanting to get ahead.

- There you are!
- I always lose my keys.

What's this?

Just see official papers
you get in such a state.

Working like a dog for this?

It's like a drug.

And yet,
we could have enough to live.

You'll never stop, will you?

You make me ashamed.

You ruin everything.

Your vulgarity makes me sick!
You foolishness!

We're becoming slaves to your junk.

Look at me when I'm talking!

It's obvious where you come from,
you don't even realize it.

You know the problems I'm facing?

They threw my son out of school.

The youth of today...

They can't be helped.
You're lucky, you don't have kids.

Maybe, but that's not why you're upset.

Things not fine
with your new guy?

Why?

You think it won't work out,
as usual?

What about you?
Why don't you divorce?

I never considered it.

Maybe Daniel has.

Do you see each other often?

- Once in a while.
- Do you still sleep together?

- Why do you you ask?
- I don't know...

You no longer live together.
You've left each other.

You should start over.

That's what will happen,
sooner or later.

So better...
Sooner than later.

You're not 20 anymore,

the later it happens, the more
you'll only find married men.

You don't understand anything,
poor Suzette.

Think whatever you like.

What do you think?
You'll sweep me away with a wave?

You'll show up and...

You know what you are?

You want me to say it?
You're a whore.

You know what they do to whores?

They shave them.
There are laws against whores.

But then again,
men adore whores.

Whores that chase after them.

The sure prefer them to crazy women.

Yes, they prefer them to crazy women.

Looked at yourself lately?

Think I'll leave my place for you?
Just like that?

I can't help you.
Just letting you know.

You whore! Get out of here!

- I thank you...
- Whore, whore, whore!

- For coffee.
- That's it, go away.

Get out! You whore!

You know some things
are just not done?

Even if not against the law,
they are not done.

Did you know this has
never happened in this house?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Don't play dumb.

With these candid airs.

Little deceiver!

You don't steal.
You don't rob colleagues.

You don't rob institutions.

You took customers here,
to have your own clientele.

Think it's right to do this?

To me, to your colleagues?

To this house?

I needed money and you pay poorly.

Then she adds recriminations.

Get out. I don't want to see you here.

You no longer belong to this house.

You'll never set foot here.

Get out of here!
Get your things and go away.

To your stations.

Oh, it's you.

Marjoline isn't here?

I'm waiting for her.
Come in, come in.

You haven't heard?

About what?

She had words with Mrs. Denise...

Who discovered something.

Discovered what?

Marjoline has...
a private clientele.

Ah?

They're clients
from the Institute.

So?

So...

It's something that isn't done.

Mrs. Denise let her go.

Mind you, I don't care.

Either we're friends or we aren't.

And then,
Mrs. Denise is a bitch.

If I could, I'd leave too.

But I can't...
I raise my son alone.

But...

The others at work,
I could see it.

They seemed happy.
They all envy Marjoline.

You have a beautiful terrace.

You became sad.

You shouldn't.
I just came to tell Marjoline,

I have a friend, who works
in a very good house,

and I could vouch for her
if she likes.

I am certain that... No?

Don't get angry like that.

You seem so sweet.

If you knew how difficult it is,
to raise a child alone.

I wasn't lucky with men.

Maybe you made bad choices.
Don't you think?

No.

I think... When...

When you're unlucky the first time,
it haunts you your whole life.

Then with a child,
time goes by and...

Then, all the men are taken.

Like you.

At fifteen, I am fifteen

Together that makes 30

At 30, we are no longer children

Now we have the right to work

Now we have right to kiss

Because later

It will be too late

Our life is now

The streets of Paris sing songs

With three small turns

Then go away

In the Rue des Vertus
is where he met her

On Alma Bridge

He took her by the arm

On the quays of the Seine

he told her, "I love you."

I'm coming!

The great love, disappeared

Mr. Georges...

How are you?

It's been so long.

You don't seem well.
Are you sick?

Just a little tired.

Everything all right at home?

Yes we're doing well.

Very well.

You coming?

I'm just a bit sad
to not to see you more often.

I came to talk, Marjoline.

I'm listening, Mr. Georges.

You're ruining your marriage,
dear girl.

How do you mean?

Once upon a time, a fisherman
who lived with his wife at seaside.

They were very poor.

One day he caught a goldfish
who told him,

"Fisherman, let me go
and I'll grant you three wishes."

The fisherman released the fish,
it disappeared in the water.

He returned home
and told the story to his wife.

She said, "You fool,
we have nothing to eat tonight."

"So let's try it!" said the fisherman.

The wife, to mock him shouts,

"I want my rusty old
washing machine to be new again."

Right away, there's a big noise.

And a shiny new
washing machine appears.

For 24 hours
the woman is very happy...

Then she starts to complain.

"Why did you let me ask for so little?"

"We only need to make
a second wish. We're allowed."

"Now I want a house
with every comfort."

Immediately, there's a big noise.

And they're in a palace
with every comfort.

Elevators,
American car at the door,

at every step,
servants asking what they want.

They spend two nights,
on the third, the wife is so agitated

her husband asks,

"What's wrong with you?"

She says, "Old fool,
why let me ask so little?"

Now we're on the third wish.

"What are you lacking?"

"Wish for whatever, but be careful,
it's your last one."

"I want the goldfish
to come serve us personally."

Upon saying that,
and the palace disappears.

The fisherman and his wife are
in their shack, in rags as before.

With an old rusty washing machine.

A collector came to see us,
it seems you...

bought a refrigerator
you can't pay for.

Ms. Denise gave him
our address.

Daniel doesn't know about it?

No.

Daniel doesn't know about it.

Good night, my dear.

Good night, Mr. Georges.

- Mrs. Donelle?
- Yeah?

Come in, please.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Come in please.

Sit down.

Mrs. Donelle...

With two Ls and one E.

Lie down, I'll examine you.

Please.

Bend your legs.

I'll pull down...

your panties.

Breathe.

- You're hurting me.
- Try to relax.

It won't be long.

- I'm a bit tense.
- Breathe, breathe.

It's hard to be a woman.

That's the reality, ma'am.

You are pregnant, ma'am.

You can stretch your legs.

Are you alright?

I don't know.

Stretch out your legs.

You're not forced to
be a mother, you know?

Having a child is not
a woman's only goal.

Your body belongs to you.

Understand?

It's nobody else's but yours.

It's very important
you understand this.

Nobody but you
has rights to it.

Not even your husband.

We're entitled to have children
when we like,

When we... We feel ready.

We're entitled to be happy mothers.

And that...

No one can know better than you.

No one knows better than you, ma'am.

See the diploma on that wall?

I am a doctor.

I wouldn't like to see you
end up on a kitchen table.

You're the one who decides, ma'am.

No one else.

In that case... Now.

Let's proceed then, ma'am.

This crap!

You see? You ruined my life!

Ready!

This too.

You're happy I hurt myself?!

You enjoy this?

I'm just a woman!
Now I'm nothing!

There!

Think it's funny?
Laughing?

I spit in your face!

I'll ask Suzette how
you make love to her.

My husband has a fiancee!

My husband has a fiancee!

Husband wants a divorce!

Wants a divorce.
Here's your divorce!

Very well.

Break it all!
Your favorite painting.

Like your apartment this way?

Will you bring your fiancee here?
To your beautiful apartment?

That's it?

Answer when I speak to you!

The streets of Paris sing songs

With three small turns
Then go away

They sing of girls who love boys

The sun, the moon, love,
and the seasons

The streets of Paris sing songs

With three small turns

Then go away

In the Rue des Vertus
is where he met her

In the Garden of Tuileries
They smiled at each other

On Alma Bridge
He took her by the arm

On the quays of the Seine
he told her, "I love you."
