Only to re-dream them. 00:13:14:Want some tea? 00:13:16:Sure. 00:13:17:There's only one cup. 00:13:26:The label's been cut off. 00:13:28:It could be anything. 00:13:47:I saw you in the bathroom|earlier. 00:13:50:Quite a scene. 00:13:54:So you're the spy. 00:13:57:I've tried it more often|since I came to Paris. 00:14:01:Haven't you ever? 00:14:03:I'm too happy for that. 00:14:05:Too happy? 00:14:06:Yes. I mean, too scared. 00:14:11:Where are you from? 00:14:13:Blois. In the Loire Valley. 00:14:17:I came here a year ago to live|with my friend, a Parisian. 00:14:22:I wanted to act in commercials,|but I got nowhere. 00:14:26:I almost got hired|by a chocolate firm... 00:14:29:but then they saw my tooth... 00:14:33:Next, it was a cosmetics firm... 00:14:36:but with my wrinkles... 00:14:37:What wrinkles? 00:14:39:On my forehead. 00:14:40:I see. 00:14:43:Five of them.|I've had them since childhood. 00:14:47:I make films. 00:14:49:Films or video? 00:14:53:For now,|what I do is dream up titles... 00:14:55:for the films I plan to make. 00:14:57:If I were you... 00:15:01:I have to go into the army|tomorrow. 00:15:05:If I were you, I wouldn't go! 00:15:07:Right. Why go,|when we're already veterans? 00:15:10:It's menopause time. 00:15:12:And I'm in a rush. 00:15:14:Yet I'm all for conquerors. 00:15:18:I had a great line worked out|for the army psychiatrists. 00:15:22:I told them|I was unfit for service... 00:15:24:because I couldn't sleep|in a room with other guys. 00:15:29:It didn't work. 00:15:31:They said the army wasn't for|sleeping. So I'm off tomorrow. 00:15:38:Do you fall... 00:15:40:Do you fall in love often? 00:15:43:Yes, easily. 00:15:45:I thought so. 00:15:47:But a real lover sticks around. 00:15:50:I feel closer|to people once I've left. 00:15:53:Love is as old as the hills... 00:15:55:Lovers are worn out. 00:15:57:Desire isn't easy to come by... 00:15:59:and it doesn't come cheap|nowadays. 00:16:02:There's plenty of passion,|but it gets wasted on details. 00:16:06:And it doesn't travel.|Me, neither. 00:16:12:Mireille... 00:16:15:I'm going now. 00:16:17:OK. 00:16:31:Who are you in love with|these days? 00:16:36:I'm on to a new heartbreak. 00:16:38:I don't want to lose it. 00:16:40:My heart's proud of its pain. 00:16:43:Her name is Florence. 00:16:45:I met her two years ago, but I|toyed with her before that. 00:16:51:Now she's left me|for my best friend, Thomas. 00:16:55:Same old story. 00:16:57:I've never cheated on anyone. 00:16:59:Never got the chance. 00:17:02:She's gone. 00:17:04:She left me a note|in our toothglass: 00:17:06:"I'm leaving to forget you." 00:17:10:In her deadly prose. 00:17:13:We lived in my room. 00:17:16:We slept in my single bed. 00:17:19:And lived on her unemployment. 00:17:21:Yet she still loved me|on Sunday... 00:17:23:Even Monday...and Tuesday... 00:17:27:She told me all about her youth.|She had lots of love affairs. 00:17:31:One when she was very young|with a boy who died. 00:17:34:His death nearly destroyed her. 00:17:37:I never got along with her... 00:17:40:Last summer,|we were on an Aeolian island. 00:17:43:I gave her my first slap. 00:17:45:I could've held back,|but I decided not to. 00:17:48:I don't try to change.|She didn't get it... 00:17:51:that I kept tabs on my|cowardice, on my weaknesses. 00:17:55:I like to spy on myself|as if I were a foreigner... 00:17:59:a foreign body,|as scientists say. 00:18:02:If I changed,|I'd distort the experiment. 00:18:06:I can see the kind of movies|you'll make. 00:18:09:It's easy to get self-obsessed|when you're alone. 00:18:12:I've got lots of projects,|enough for two lives. 00:18:16:I like to view my life|as a biography. 00:18:20:Born in Paris 1960. Died|in Paris 2040. I won't leave. 00:18:25:Last week I had a dream. 00:18:27:In my dream, I was asleep,|then I was awake... 00:18:30:and found a book between|the sheet and the blanket... 00:18:34:a book I'd never seen before. 00:18:36:I leafed through it.|It was my autobiography. 00:18:39:But it was unfinished.|I'd died while writing it. 00:19:06:-Want some?|-I don't drink. 00:19:17:Florence was madly|in love with me. 00:19:22:More than I with her. 00:19:24:So now she's down, and I'm out! 00:19:28:When she left three days ago,|we had a... 00:19:34:She took all her things. 00:19:35:She wanted to take the letters|I wrote her. 00:19:38:I said they were mine. 00:19:40:I wrote them. They're mine. 00:19:43:In the end, I gave in. 00:19:46:She doesn't know|I've Xeroxed them. 00:19:55:This scarf|is all I have left of her. 00:20:00:But...it's her all over. 00:20:08:You really think so, Mireille? 00:20:12:You know my name? 00:20:16:In the army, they should|assign you to espionage. 00:20:37:-Want one?|-I don't smoke. 00:20:46:I'm going out for a walk. 00:20:52:I'll come with you. 00:20:54:I like walking alone. 00:20:56:So do I. 00:20:57:Then we can go together. 00:21:00:In fact, I don't go out much. 00:21:02:I'm scared of getting|pushed under the subway... 00:21:04:or being blown up|or finding out I've got cancer. 00:21:09:At 15, I wasn't scared. 00:21:11:Now I'm old enough|to be tortured in a war. 00:21:46:I had a nightmare. 00:21:52:Midnight? 00:22:17:Know this one? 00:22:24:"Here's how many nights|and a day 00:22:27:"Here's how long|you've been away 00:22:29:"It was to be|our last time apart 00:22:31:"The last strain|on my shipwrecked heart 00:22:34:"You said you'd be back|in spring 00:22:37:"A time for sweetness|and whispering 00:22:40:"You said we'd meet|in a budding grove 00:22:42:"And through Paris streets|we'd rove" 00:22:48:"I love you and love you still,|I love you alone and always will 00:22:53:"But if you choose|to go your way 00:22:55:"I'll remember our love|as a happy day 00:22:57:"I'll hit the road,|a smile on my face 00:23:00:"I'll go bask in the sun|some other place 00:23:02:"Sorrows won't make me|give up my life 00:23:05:"I'm not as patient|as a sailor's wife" 00:23:29:He got home very late. 00:23:32:I was asleep. 00:23:35:For a long time,|he sat on the bed, in the dark. 00:23:41:The sound of the key|had woken me... 00:23:44:but I pretended to be asleep. 00:23:47:I felt his eyes on me.|It was a drag. 00:23:51:It wasn't the first time. 00:23:55:Then... 00:23:57:he got into bed... 00:23:59:and made love to me trying to be|gentle so as not to wake me. 00:24:05:He likes to do it that way. 00:24:07:Sometimes he says to me... 00:24:09:"Let go. Play dead." 00:24:12:When I met him... 00:24:14:at first, right after|my father's death... 00:24:19:he felt at ease with me. 00:24:22:Now he criticizes me for things. 00:24:26:Things I don't understand. 00:24:29:For him, it all matters: 00:24:32:my past, my future,|my present, and my death... 00:24:40:I often wonder what my father|would've thought of him... 00:24:46:and of me today. 00:24:50:I am...l'm what I am. 00:25:36:It's very late. 00:25:46:It's today I'm leaving. 00:25:49:Everyone's going.|We're the last. 00:25:54:I'm leaving. 00:26:06:It's like a dream for me,|being with you. 00:26:10:Like an unusually deep dream. 00:26:12:Only deep sleep|makes you dream like that. 00:26:22:Sitting beside you this way... 00:26:26:is like eternity. 00:26:31:The moment I saw you... 00:26:33:I knew I was destined|to love ...
