La fleur du mal

Anne Charpin-Vasseur:
You look upset.

Matthieu Lartigue:
I imagine I do. Something awkward has cropped up. We should talk in private.

Matthieu Lartigue:
[Referring to a nasty political leaflet directed at Anne Charpin-Vasseur and her family] Well, your family's under attack.

G?rard Vasseur:
Why should they go to Pyla?

Anne Charpin-Vasseur:
We can't talk about it all night! They took her car. Can you drop me off tomorrow?

G?rard Vasseur:
At what time?

Anne Charpin-Vasseur:
Before ten, if possible.

G?rard Vasseur:
[Referring to Matthieu] Can't your "guardian angel" do it?

Anne Charpin-Vasseur:
He's kind, but he's not my driver, after all.

G?rard Vasseur:
No, he's not. I am!

Anne Charpin-Vasseur:
[Smiling coyly] You're my husband.

Aunt Line:
[Observing that Marthe is washing the dishes by hand] Why don't you use the dishwasher, Marthe?

Marthe:
I work faster than it does. I never asked for it.

Aunt Line:
Try to move with the times.

Marthe:
Progress isn't all good.

Fran?ois Vasseur:
[Referring to the fresh oysters he's eating at the cafe in Pyla] I'm really enjoying this. They're so bad in America. They rinse them in fresh water and it kills the taste.

Mich?le Charpin-Vasseur:
A week living like hypocrites.

Aunt Line:
Dear, we've been living like hypocrites for years.

Fran?ois Vasseur:
Let's be philosophical. People have lived like hypocrites since the dawn of time. That's what you call "civilisation."

Aunt Line:
Are you all right? [repeating the line, louder] Are you all right? Do you feel like crying?

Mich?le Charpin-Vasseur:
I can't.

Aunt Line:
That's good. You must control yourself and help me. Listen to me. You didn't do anything, you hear? You didn't do anything! We're going to carry G?rard to his room. Can you manage that?

Mich?le Charpin-Vasseur:
I don't know...

Aunt Line:
Please, you must help me! I can't carry him alone. Do you trust me?

Mich?le Charpin-Vasseur:
Of course, Aunt Line.

Aunt Line:
Help me then. I'll explain later.
