Transcription

Tributed to Jean cocteau Charlotte and her Lover Screenplay & Director Jean-Luc Godard It's me! I know it's you I knew you would come back I told you You missed me You're stupid! You never want to listen to me I know why you came back I will tell you came back to apologize! It's too late! It's useless to say anything little girl; you should just go to hell It's great, I think you are the most beautiful girl in Paris It's pointless it's predictable, with this guy we should've guessed What an idiot! No, you really exaggerate I know what you're going to tell me It's wrong, it's really wrong Of course, it didn't work! It didn't work, because it couldn't work and it can't work, because it wasn't supposed to work lmpossible! You should know impossible is a French word... stupid! Me too, I can jump on anybody Charlotte, what I'm blaming you for, is not to be in love but to believe he is in love with you It's true, I'm not kidding you have to think before you act I don't blame you to believe in love but to believe in theories of love I find it wonderful coming from girls People says love is like a waltz three little turns, yes, yes, yes! No! That's why when you broke up with me, I didn't say anything... You came back with your head down eight days later! I ask myself what are you doing here, so? Look at what you look like now? You would tell me you couldn't guess But yes! Stupid! What were you thinking going out with a guy like that! I knew he would leave you I expected as much! You too... Me, on the contrary it amazes me to see the lack of practical sense in girls! You have a nice little body... I don't deny it - Anyway you're a bitch! - Oh! I know, I know he's going to hire you for next film because you're sleeping with him? No way! I know him, he's the worst cad Listen to what I'm telling you dammit! Ah, if only you were good at making love! Move your knee away from here! Put your hand there! Move a bit! Ah! Like that! You have to be told! I swear, you have to see it to believe it! Terrible! I told you that he's not the kind of guy who thinks it's fun! He doesn't care about girls! I'm asking you what's going through your mind? Well, I also wonder what are you doing with him? Oh, nothing! He touches me... But let me finish my sentence When we were at the beach I told you to not make fun of me It's always the same... Shit! It's not being with a guy like that who charmed you for 3 minutes when you've loved me for 3 years that I blame you for but by doing it so easily! Even right in front of my face - Don't act stupid, it's important! - Yeah, yeah! Don't tell me it's not true I told you impossible doesn't work! I knew you would come back! Be serious! You can't be without me! I told you a thousand times you're incapable I know what you think Same with me? That's why, I knew you would come back to apologize! Don't say no! What does that mean? C'mon Charlotte because I love you you have to love me If I didn't like you, fine! But because I love you you love me too No! I told you not to speak No! You're exhausting! It's great! So what, it was weird my poor little girl! We need to do things with a bit of cleverness Oh yeah! Poor guy! You really want to do movies? There are 12,000 other guys you have to sleep with! And besides why make movies? I find it disgraceful, disgraceful and old fashioned It's true! What is cinema? A big head making faces in a little room You have to be... to like that! Oh yeah! I know what I said! It's an illusionary art Novels, paintings like that but not cinema Everybody will tell you you're crazy! But you don't want to listen You're the only girl in Parisz who people can sleep with for free! - Oh! - But let me talk! I know what you're going to tell me You love to do that Better to go walk the streets, so you could make me some money too It's true, When I suggested it to you I admit that you refused, fine! But being a hooker in a room, me I found it a thousand times worse! Me, I have the right to party with those little, You don't! Because you understand that you're a blessed soul Really! Charlotte! Do you realise that behind the face there is a soul, and as soon as we look at the face of a girl we see her soul! For boys, it's not the same It surprises you, huh? Reminds me of a guy from "Dupont-Bastille" You know what he said? What is most important Ladies and Gentleman, it's not love, it's not war it's not money, it's not happiness, It's not women, No! Hat is the most important, the subtleties! Yes, darling. But by the time you will understand this, it will be warm. God dammit you cut your hair! But you're crazy, poor thing! Who do you think you are? Who do you think you look like! France is full of idiots but you win the prize I know what you'll say but it's wrong Unbelievable! Girls don't know but it's so clear You are stupid, by definition Stay still, dammit! Let me finish my sentence I know what you're going to say Why do you love me? But you're stupid Really! You don't know if I love you, idiot Well I don't like you anymore You guessed it, My somber idiot you came back for nothing I told you if you left me and if you were coming back without apologizing I wouldn't give a shit You could beg me I would pretend I didn't hear you. Like... like that actor, when Simone Simon told him He would jump out the window I don't know in what thing, it's... - What kind of move? - It was a film of Max Ophuls... Shut up! Everything that happens is your fault... The morning we had to get married You didn't have to fall asleep again We wouldn't have be late to City Hall! It's always the same with you! Girls think they have the moral right in everything! I can't deal with this! I told you it will come back to you! I already knew you would come back crying You're wonderful Charlotte! If I forgive you, it'll be a pure miracle the light path Shit! A miracle of great importance! Really! Everything that happened, is a miracle Picasso, you know what he was saying about Cocteau? It's a miracle to not melt in a bath! Don't open your month I knew before that you're wrong! Your biggest fault is to speak for nothing Men hate that. At your age you should know that! Don't pretend you're listening It's clear that you're not listening I know you're thinking about that guy I know he's waiting in his car So why did you come back? Get the hell out! Know what you're doing Remember! When we met, I had a paratrooper's beret and you were saying to everybody with your little voice My parents kicked me out! I don't know where I'm going to sleep And stupid me said Come sleep in my bed I'll sleep on the sofa... I feel like hitting you! Disgusting! You don't want to lay a coat in front of my feet? And I'm such an idiot! You didn't ask for more huh! I touched you - while you pretended to "sleep" - No, No! In the morning, you nothing happened listening to Jazz you were looking at yourself naked in the mirror You asked me What do you think about me? What do I think about you? God dammit, but look at yourself in the mirror! No, no joke, Charlotte! When I said you had nice breasts it was to please you... - Oh! - If we can't even laugh anymore, so! Great! I know you're not the first to whom I predicted the worse and God knows if I was always right! Look at your friend Veronique She should be slapped Girls like that! Oh yeah All the same! You're always thinking that people love you for your spirit... The spirit of your ass, yes! In order to please, we need to hate... At the discotheque the first time we saw each other sambas, mambos... But the poor guys who go there with a necktie... multicolored... What are they looking for? Ambas, mambos? My ass! Really! They come to "grind"! In... in fact, I wonder why I waste my time? It's best that you leave That's right! That's right! I was tired of you using my electric razor to shave your what? Legs! And I'll be quiet. At least I'll get my room back And, I'll be able to go to the window without your panties in my face! It's true, guys living on women I was against that. But what a burden! Women, we have to beat them up! I never wanted because for me civilisation represents some kind of value But I was stupid! We have to beat them! Yes, that's it We have to beat them up! It's sad to say, I agree! But we need to hit We have to! We have to hit! Do we have to tell them anything? Not at all! I'll explain it, There is obviously a link between the previous one... You have to stay with me It's Cartesian logic! You love me, I love you But if it's on purpose I'm talking I'm in a play Yes, I am terribly moved! You knew I couldn't be without you Ah la la! Bitch! If I knew! And the story of 40.000 FF Don't pretend to have forgotten it, No! If you leave I'm screwed That's right! You know! Just... find another guy who'll accept everything without complaining! The night when you didn't come home the police they couldn't stop laughing But I don't care I don't blame you! Yes, I blame you! No, I don't blame you! Or maybe better, yes I do blame you! I don't know! I don't blame you to not blame yourself! I know I'm a wimp but it's because I love you. I can't live without you. Where do you want me to go if you abandon me? Please, don't leave me Charlotte! Well, if you leave I'll punch your face! Me too, I have a lot connections they contacted me from Hollywood Yes! For my novel Stay with me As soon as my book gets published I'll give you an "Alfa-Romeo" British cars are ugly I always told you you have bad taste! No! You're right. I say I'm not making any sense But it's not your fault if I confuse everything I am desperate since you left Charlotte, don't leave me alone please, Charlotte! Yes, stay! You have no right! If you do I'll kill myself! I beg you to stay, Charlotte! I know what you'll tell me In love, men are wimps lazy, cruel, idiots! Yes, that's right! I'm a jerk but deep down you don't really hate it A guy with style you've missed it Don't say it's not true! I knew it. You too, you can't be without me That's why you came back? No, Jules I came back to pick up my toothbrush!
