00:00:00It's really crazy tonight.
00:00:30You're finally back.
00:00:37Yes, Valerie.
00:00:39Ah, what's that?
00:00:41My daughter surprised her dog, Vianna, with the guardian's dog.
00:00:46And she wants to have it aborted.
00:00:48So that it's not a little bastard.
00:00:50You know, Christine, you should learn to express yourself with a little more dignity.
00:00:54And you, Jean, you should behave with a little more dignity.
00:00:58I took the dog to the fair, and on my way back I passed by the party.
00:01:01Miss insisted that I dance with her.
00:01:03I couldn't refuse, could I?
00:01:05I could.
00:01:07It's really crazy tonight. Really crazy.
00:01:10She's always been crazy.
00:01:15But it's worse since 15 days.
00:01:17Since she broke her engagement.
00:01:19If I were her, I'd be rather uncomfortable.
00:01:22No man will want her now.
00:01:26Don't get involved in domestic matters like that.
00:01:28Why didn't she go with her father?
00:01:30To celebrate the night of St. John with everyone in her place.
00:01:43A glass of wine, please, Christine.
00:01:51Where did this bottle come from?
00:01:53We bought it last year in Dijon.
00:01:55We?
00:01:57The Count, myself, and...
00:02:00the Count.
00:02:16I had to heat up the plate, Christine.
00:02:18You should have been here 15 minutes earlier.
00:02:23Thank you.
00:02:30It's good. Very good.
00:02:33Perrognon.
00:02:35We'll have him removed tomorrow.
00:02:37Well done.
00:02:39You know what?
00:02:41She's a strange person.
00:02:43On some levels she's very distant, and on others...
00:02:46I should have seen her dancing out there.
00:02:48She's exactly like her mother.
00:02:50Exactly like her. God is her soul.
00:02:52She was comfortable in the stables, but to go out,
00:02:54she needed a lot of padding.
00:02:56Dirty slippers.
00:02:58But she had to have her closets on every button.
00:03:01You're right, Christine.
00:03:05She lacks a certain...
00:03:07finesse.
00:03:13But that's what happens...
00:03:15when the nobility starts to get involved with the people.
00:03:18We would never do that.
00:03:21Wouldn't we?
00:03:26Unless it was urgent.
00:03:31You have even more refined tastes than the Count himself.
00:03:51Do you want to dance with me when I'm ready?
00:03:54Yes, I told you so.
00:03:56Bravo.
00:03:58I told you I would.
00:04:00And I will.
00:04:10Go on.
00:04:12Go on.
00:04:14Go on.
00:04:16Go on.
00:04:19It's very elegant of you to abandon your cavalier.
00:04:25On the contrary, mademoiselle.
00:04:27I'm going back to the cavalier I left behind.
00:04:30Oh, Christine, are you ready?
00:04:32Yes, mademoiselle.
00:04:38I still have to put this potion on.
00:04:40You'll have it tomorrow morning.
00:04:42Jean, you can go back and dance with me.
00:04:45Excuse me.
00:04:47I promised to dance with Christine.
00:04:49Oh, she can dance with someone else, I suppose.
00:04:52Isn't that right, Christine?
00:04:54Would you lend me a song for a dance?
00:04:56It's not up to me.
00:04:58Jean, if mademoiselle invites you to dance,
00:05:00you must know how to make her happy.
00:05:02I don't think she's wise enough to dance with the same cavalier.
00:05:05What do you mean?
00:05:07Mademoiselle, the nobility wants all this to be treated equally.
00:05:10Go on.
00:05:12Maybe...
00:05:14I could show you that you're choosing a domestic,
00:05:16and that you prefer it to all the others.
00:05:18Prefer?
00:05:20Prefer?
00:05:21What gave you that idea?
00:05:23I'm the mistress of this house,
00:05:25and I honor the domestic by taking part in their celebration.
00:05:29Isn't that right, my dear?
00:05:32When I dance, I want to dance with a good dancer,
00:05:34because I don't want to look ridiculous.
00:05:38My dear.
00:05:43I'm at your service, mademoiselle.
00:05:45Don't take it like an order.
00:05:48Tonight we're all celebrating together.
00:05:51Give me the parable.
00:05:54Don't be afraid, Christine, your fiancé.
00:05:56I won't take him from you.
00:06:07Good night, my love.
00:06:37Oh, my God!
00:07:07Oh, my God!
00:07:15Christine.
00:07:20Christine.
00:07:29Forgive me.
00:07:33She's really crazy tonight.
00:07:37When she has her rules, she's always like that, you know.
00:07:40Poor girl.
00:07:42Poor girl in heat.
00:07:51Will you dance with me now?
00:07:59Don't ask me to abandon you.
00:08:01We're looking for a good official.
00:08:03It's not very well paid, but we have the security of the job.
00:08:07My dear.
00:08:17He's an incomparable dancer.
00:08:20Did you know that?
00:08:23But why is he wearing a necklace on the night of St. John's?
00:08:27Take it off immediately.
00:08:33But what is this?
00:08:36It's the Count's jacket, mademoiselle.
00:08:39I know who it belongs to, and I'm asking you to put it on.
00:08:41I'm not allowed to put it on.
00:08:43What if I told you as an order?
00:08:46Then I should obey you.
00:08:48Then I order you to put it on.
00:08:53Are you embarrassed to change your jacket in front of me?
00:08:58In that case, I will move away.
00:09:03Go.
00:09:23He's very intimate with you.
00:09:26Are you really engaged to John?
00:09:29I don't know.
00:09:31Do you call us that?
00:09:33What do you mean, do we call you that?
00:09:36Well, mademoiselle, she was engaged in the past.
00:09:42Yes, but we were engaged officially.
00:09:49Very kind, Mr. John.
00:09:52In fact, it didn't work out.
00:09:54Very kind.
00:09:56Now you see what I was saying.
00:09:58You speak Italian.
00:10:00Where did you learn to speak Italian?
00:10:02In Switzerland.
00:10:04I was a sommelier at the Grand Hotel de Lucerne.
00:10:06Really?
00:10:08Delicious.
00:10:11You don't look like a sommelier.
00:10:14You look like a real gentleman.
00:10:19You don't think so, Christine?
00:10:21Excuse me, but you speak with condescension.
00:10:25I, condescending?
00:10:27You can sit down.
00:10:30Natural modesty forbids a person of your class
00:10:34from complimenting someone of my condition.
00:10:37I suppose, therefore, that your attitude is full of flattery
00:10:40or, to be more precise, full of condescension.
00:10:45Where did you learn to speak like that?
00:10:48I bet you went to the theatre.
00:10:50I know a lot of theatres.
00:10:52As many in my country as abroad.
00:10:57But you're from the region, aren't you?
00:10:59My father was a journalist in the field of Petersen.
00:11:02Really?
00:11:04I don't remember you.
00:11:07I don't remember you.
00:11:11Go on.
00:11:14No.
00:11:16Maybe another time.
00:11:22Maybe another time.
00:11:27I don't want to talk about it.
00:11:31It's so dangerous.
00:11:33No, it's not dangerous.
00:11:36I don't want to talk about it, that's all.
00:11:40Come on, sit down.
00:11:45No, wait.
00:11:48Give me something to drink first.
00:11:52I don't know what we have. Only beer, I think.
00:11:55Only beer?
00:11:57I prefer beer with wine.
00:12:18Will you have a drink with me?
00:12:49She'll be a very good wife.
00:12:52Does she snore?
00:12:55No.
00:12:57But she talks in her sleep.
00:13:00How do you know?
00:13:05Drink to my health.
00:13:10Drink to my health.
00:13:16Drink to my health.
00:13:27On behalf of all the housekeepers of this house,
00:13:30I wish you a long life and prosperity.
00:13:45Drink to my health.
00:13:50Drink to my health.
00:14:16Drink to my health.
00:14:21Drink to my health.
00:14:26Shut the door.
00:14:28Why?
00:14:31We will be seen.
00:14:32Who cares?
00:14:34What should I do?
00:14:37If you had been here, you would have heard.
00:14:40I don't know.
00:14:41If anyone comes,
00:14:42I'll see you alone in the middle of the night,
00:14:44with a man,
00:14:46with a housekeeper.
00:14:48Well?
00:14:50Well, what?
00:14:52Anyway,
00:14:54we're not alone.
00:15:00Christine fell asleep.
00:15:02I'll wake her up, then.
00:15:04Christine.
00:15:06Christine.
00:15:11Christine.
00:15:13Let her sleep.
00:15:15Christine.
00:15:17Let her sleep.
00:15:18Christine.
00:15:32Some people work in the oven all day.
00:15:35Some people are exhausted at the end of the day.
00:15:40Their sleep must be respected.
00:15:45You're right.
00:15:48What noble words.
00:16:10You're right.
00:16:40I love you.
00:17:10I love you.
00:17:26I'd like to be able to sleep like her.
00:17:32Are you coming to cook milk with me?
00:17:36No.
00:17:37It's not possible.
00:17:39What do you mean?
00:17:42You're not going to imagine that...
00:17:44No.
00:17:45No, I'm not.
00:17:46But...
00:17:48What?
00:17:49That I'm in love with the footman?
00:17:54You feel very superior, don't you?
00:17:56I'm very superior.
00:18:00And me?
00:18:02Can I come down?
00:18:09No.
00:18:25I often dream that I'm standing on top of a foot...
00:18:28and that I can't come down.
00:18:31I know I have to do it.
00:18:33But I don't have enough courage to jump.
00:18:37I get dizzy when I look down.
00:18:41I can't stay up there.
00:18:44I really want to fall, but I don't fall.
00:18:48I know I'll have peace only when I fall.
00:18:51But I also know that when I fall, the earth will open...
00:18:55and swallow me.
00:18:59I'm telling you my dreams.
00:19:07Have you ever felt anything like this?
00:19:20Come with me.
00:19:23Come.
00:19:27Come with me.
00:19:31Come with me.
00:19:43Come.
00:19:53Come.
00:20:18Thank you.
00:20:24Who is he?
00:20:27Let me see.
00:20:29Let me see.
00:20:32Let me see. Sit down.
00:20:36Let me see.
00:20:44I'm sorry.
00:20:53I'm sorry.
00:20:55I'm sorry.
00:21:20I often dream, too.
00:21:23Yes?
00:21:26I dream that I'm lying at the foot of a big tree...
00:21:29a huge tree.
00:21:32At the top of this tree there is a nest...
00:21:35and it contains golden eggs.
00:21:39I dream...
00:21:41that I'm climbing to the top of this tree.
00:21:45The first branch is high...
00:21:48and the trunk slides a lot.
00:21:52I know that one day I will reach the top.
00:21:58I will reach it.
00:22:02In my dream.
00:22:21Thank you.
00:22:41Give me your hand. Say thank you.
00:22:51You can take some coffee.
00:22:54Why?
00:22:56You're not a child anymore.
00:22:59It's dangerous to play with fire.
00:23:02Not for me.
00:23:04I'm sure of it.
00:23:06No, you're not sure of it.
00:23:08Besides, I have other people.
00:23:13Are you talking about me?
00:23:17You're so vain.
00:23:21I suppose you think you're irresistible, don't you?
00:23:25I think you're just a good talker.
00:23:28You're not big enough to act.
00:23:33Do you really think so?
00:23:35I presume so, yes.
00:23:46Oh...
00:24:05Are you serious or just pretending?
00:24:10I'm serious.
00:24:17You're playing too seriously for me.
00:24:22I've had enough.
00:24:27Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going back to work.
00:24:46I love you.
00:25:16I love you.
00:25:47Put that away.
00:25:50It's my job.
00:25:52I'm paid to do it, not to be your playmate.
00:26:16Have you ever been in love?
00:26:20We don't use that word, but yes, I have been in love.
00:26:26And who was it?
00:26:29Is it an order?
00:26:31No, no.
00:26:33I ask this question as if it were unequal, as if it were a friend.
00:26:41Who was it?
00:26:44Do you know what the world looks like when you see it from below?
00:26:49You don't know.
00:26:52There's the world from up there,
00:26:54flying with the falcons way above us.
00:26:58What do you think it's like?
00:27:00I've never flown with falcons.
00:27:04I was raised with seven brothers and sisters and a pig in a haystack.
00:27:09It must have been awful.
00:27:14We couldn't see the walls of your father's domain through one of our little windows,
00:27:19with the apple trees overlooking it.
00:27:22For us, it was paradise.
00:27:26Cruel angels with shining swords, we forbade access to people like us,
00:27:31because you despised us, didn't you?
00:27:37No.
00:27:38Yes, I know.
00:27:40You say no, but you do.
00:27:44The first time I came into your domain,
00:27:47I accompanied my mother to go on hikes.
00:27:51Do you remember the pretty Turkish pavilion near the potagery?
00:27:55All covered in jasmine, all covered in chervil leaves?
00:28:00Yes.
00:28:02The most beautiful edifice I've ever seen.
00:28:06I didn't understand why people came in and left shortly afterwards.
00:28:11I pushed the door. It was incredible.
00:28:15All these portraits of emperors and kings,
00:28:18the beautiful red curtains, the windows.
00:28:23I'd never been to a castle.
00:28:25I'd never been anywhere other than the church.
00:28:30Yes, you can smile,
00:28:33but your toilets,
00:28:35they were the most beautiful things I'd ever seen.
00:28:41At that time, wherever I was, under any circumstances,
00:28:45my thoughts would always take me there.
00:28:48I was submerged in desire,
00:28:50able to relax in all this splendor.
00:28:56One day, I slipped inside.
00:29:00I stayed there,
00:29:02in silence,
00:29:04amazed.
00:29:08Then I heard someone coming.
00:29:10I couldn't get out through the window or through the door.
00:29:14There was only one way out.
00:29:17I took it.
00:29:20I drove away,
00:29:23into the darkness,
00:29:26into your shit.
00:29:30When I got out, I started running.
00:29:35I crossed the forests,
00:29:37the meadows,
00:29:39to finally reach the rice field.
00:29:42And that's when I saw
00:29:44a pair of white soles,
00:29:47a pink robe,
00:29:50hidden there,
00:29:52all fleshy and pure,
00:29:54under charcoals,
00:29:56rotting leaves.
00:29:58I looked at this child,
00:30:00hidden among the roses.
00:30:05And I thought to myself,
00:30:09if an informant
00:30:11has the right to be with angels in God's paradise,
00:30:15why can't the son of a journalist
00:30:18on God's earth
00:30:20play with the daughter of an accountant?
00:30:23Why can't he play with the daughter of an accountant?
00:30:28What do you think?
00:30:38It must be awful to be poor.
00:30:44It must be awful to be poor.
00:30:48A dog
00:30:50can sit on the couch of a countess.
00:30:53A horse
00:30:55can be stroked by the hand of a young lady.
00:30:58But a domestic...
00:31:06Anyway, the next Sunday,
00:31:08I went to church just to see you.
00:31:11I washed myself.
00:31:14I didn't wear nice clothes anymore.
00:31:17And you?
00:31:20I went home,
00:31:22determined to die.
00:31:26But I wanted to die pleasantly, without suffering.
00:31:30So I took off all the flowers
00:31:32and made myself a bed in the ointment.
00:31:36You noticed how the ointment was soft,
00:31:39how the human skin
00:31:41was very soft to the touch.
00:31:44I closed the blanket
00:31:46and fell asleep with those poisonous flowers in my arms.
00:31:51When I woke up,
00:31:53I was very ill.
00:31:57But not as you can see.
00:32:00Dead.
00:32:04When I saw you again that Sunday at church,
00:32:07I realized how hopeless things were.
00:32:10I thought,
00:32:12I'll never be able
00:32:14to live above the class where Lazarus gave birth to me.
00:32:18It's very beautiful and very strong,
00:32:20the way you tell this story.
00:32:25Where did you learn that?
00:32:29I learned it from my mother.
00:32:32My mother taught me to read.
00:32:34She taught me to read.
00:32:36She taught me to read.
00:32:38She taught me to read.
00:32:40She taught me to read.
00:32:42She taught me to read.
00:32:44She taught me to read.
00:32:46How did you learn that?
00:32:49Did you study it?
00:32:52No.
00:32:54No.
00:32:56I learned it by listening to the nobles.
00:33:03You mean you listen to what we say?
00:33:09How else?
00:33:13Who do you listen to?
00:33:17No.
00:33:20The Count.
00:33:24You.
00:33:26Your fiancée.
00:33:29What are you saying?
00:33:35Did you hear?
00:33:40I can't say.
00:33:43I must admit
00:33:45that I was rather shocked
00:33:47by a certain word.
00:33:50What word?
00:34:07Maybe.
00:34:09Isn't there as much difference between us as you think?
00:34:16At least we don't behave like we do before we're married.
00:34:21Are you sure?
00:34:23Yes, I'm sure.
00:34:28I saw what happened in the priest's court.
00:34:45I saw what happened in the priest's court.
00:34:51The man I gave my love to
00:34:53was just a pauper.
00:34:55Yes.
00:34:56All women say that afterwards.
00:34:58No.
00:34:59No.
00:35:00I was sure it was you.
00:35:02I've heard that a lot.
00:35:04Enough.
00:35:05I order you to shut him up.
00:35:07I don't want to hear anything else.
00:35:10Remarkable.
00:35:11That's what you told him.
00:35:13What now?
00:35:17If you'll excuse me,
00:35:20I'm going to bed.
00:35:22You're going to bed?
00:35:24On St John's Night?
00:35:26Yes.
00:35:27The idea of dancing with all these people
00:35:29doesn't mean much to me right now.
00:35:31Jean, don't go.
00:35:34We could go on a boat trip
00:35:36under the lake and see the sunrise.
00:35:38Oh, please, Miss Julie.
00:35:40What?
00:35:41What's bothering you?
00:35:43Is it your reputation?
00:35:46Yes.
00:35:47Yes, I can't afford to be sent back without a certificate.
00:35:50I also have to think of Christine.
00:35:52I see.
00:35:53It's Christine.
00:35:54No, it's not just Christine.
00:35:58If there's someone who comes into this room
00:36:01and...
00:36:02So what?
00:36:03I know these people and I love them
00:36:05just like he loves me.
00:36:07Oh, Miss.
00:36:10They're eating your...
00:36:15Go to bed.
00:36:19Go to bed.
00:36:21What?
00:36:22Please, I beg you.
00:36:24Do as I say.
00:36:25Go to bed.
00:36:27Why? Will you obey me?
00:36:29For once.
00:36:30For once, I beg you.
00:36:39Go to bed.
00:36:47Go to bed.
00:36:48I beg you.
00:36:49Do as I say.
00:36:53There's no one here.
00:36:55Come on.
00:37:00This is Miss Julie's room.
00:37:03She's in her room with this mess.
00:37:10Go to bed.
00:37:22The foot bath.
00:37:29It's been proven.
00:37:30It's been proven by this dirty bitch.
00:37:40Where's your nose?
00:37:41Right now, your nose.
00:37:43I'll give you your nose.
00:37:46And you'll be able to run around in your ass, your nose.
00:37:50There's a bullet hole in the back.
00:38:01I knew it.
00:38:03I knew it.
00:38:09I knew it.
00:38:18Shit.
00:38:30Where's your personal reserve?
00:38:35Where is it?
00:38:40Where is your wine?
00:38:43I know it's here.
00:38:46Somewhere.
00:39:10Mother said to me...
00:39:14The count saved the day
00:39:16His wage is well raised
00:39:18In his pocket, there's something
00:39:20Which he could have seen
00:39:22He took it to bed
00:39:24Many things of good value
00:39:25At last, the count discovered
00:39:27This stone in his pocket
00:39:29And he whipped it with his knife
00:39:31And his sword
00:39:33The good talent
00:39:34Was devalued by this bastard
00:39:37A carrot in the head and a carrot in the ass
00:39:40If you've had too much, you'll be hated by all the sisters in Paris
00:39:43A carrot in the head and a carrot in the ass
00:39:47If you've had too much, you'll be hated by all the sisters in Paris
00:39:50The countess is their daughter, their noble reject
00:39:54It's the child's undesired, the countess is an idiot
00:39:59Don't listen to her. Don't listen to her.
00:40:02She wants to wash her feet and even the toilets
00:40:06She wants to be as sad and always wants to be
00:40:12Don't listen to her. No, don't listen to her.
00:40:15If you've had too much, you'll be hated by all the sisters in Paris
00:40:19What can we do?
00:40:21A carrot in the head and a carrot in the ass
00:40:23If you've had too much, you'll be hated by all the sisters in Paris
00:40:25We can run away
00:40:27A carrot in the head and a carrot in the ass
00:40:30If you've had too much, you'll be hated by all the sisters in Paris
00:40:33Do you know Switzerland? The Italian lakes?
00:40:35No. Is it beautiful?
00:40:37Yes, it's beautiful. Really beautiful.
00:40:40But it's eternal. They have nothing at Christmas.
00:40:43They'll be at Tarton's
00:40:48The cowards leave the nobility and go to a hole
00:40:52I'm sure they'll surpass us, refined and charming
00:40:56The cowards leave the nobility and go to a hole
00:41:04The cowards leave the nobility and go to a hole
00:41:26The cowards leave the nobility and go to a hole
00:41:30The cowards leave the nobility and go to a hole
00:41:56The cowards leave the nobility and go to a hole
00:42:26The cowards leave the nobility and go to a hole
00:42:56The cowards leave the nobility and go to a hole
00:43:26The cowards leave the nobility and go to a hole
00:43:56The cowards leave the nobility and go to a hole
00:44:26The cowards leave the nobility and go to a hole
00:44:29The cowards leave the nobility and go to a hole
00:44:55Say my real name
00:44:58Call me Julie
00:45:03There's nothing left between us now
00:45:24Go
00:45:27Not in this house
00:45:31I'll go through it and...
00:45:35There's the count
00:45:38He...
00:45:40He chose me
00:45:42The count chose me
00:45:45I respect him, I respect this man
00:45:47I respect this man more than anyone in the world
00:45:58The superstitions and prejudices
00:46:01have been accumulating in my brain since the day I was born
00:46:09I would like...
00:46:12to be free forever
00:46:21I'm going to live abroad
00:46:24I'm going to live abroad
00:46:26in a republic
00:46:28where I'll be taught a lesson
00:46:31Malmö, 6.30
00:46:33Frankfurt, 8.20
00:46:35Let me reach this first branch
00:46:38and from there I'll have to climb, step by step
00:46:44Frankfurt, Bael
00:46:47or Lac de Combe, it's very beautiful
00:46:50I'll go through the tunnel of St. Gotthard
00:46:54the tunnel of St. Gotthard
00:46:57Today, today, mademoiselle
00:46:59I'm a valet
00:47:01Give me one year
00:47:03and I'll be the owner of a hotel
00:47:05Give me ten years
00:47:07and I'll be a member of the nobility
00:47:09I'll go to an eastern country
00:47:11I'll get decorated here or there
00:47:13Yes, here or there
00:47:14I'll become a count
00:47:16because everything can be bought in the east
00:47:18a little train
00:47:20and then you'll be my countess
00:47:22after all
00:47:24my countess
00:47:30Tell me you love me
00:47:35Listen
00:47:38We've made a mistake
00:47:40trying not to make another
00:47:43You know
00:47:45the count will be back in a minute
00:47:47As a result
00:47:49you and I
00:47:52will have to make a decision
00:48:07I'll show you something
00:48:17I'll show you something
00:48:29My hotel
00:48:32It's just sketches
00:48:35but how do you know?
00:48:42I like it very much
00:48:44This kind of project requires a lot of resources
00:48:48Do you have them?
00:48:50Yes
00:48:52Of course
00:48:54My professional skills, my immense experience
00:48:56my knowledge of foreign countries
00:48:58It makes up for resources, doesn't it?
00:49:02But all this won't buy you a train ticket
00:49:05Exactly
00:49:07And that's why
00:49:09I'm looking for a partner who can give me some money
00:49:12Where will you find him in such a short time?
00:49:16Could it be you?
00:49:26It could be you
00:49:29I don't have any money
00:49:31that belongs to me
00:49:58So, we cancel everything
00:50:08And then
00:50:12we go back to zero
00:50:29You want to say something?
00:50:35Do you really think I could stay under this roof like your whore
00:50:38with all these people pointing their fingers at me
00:50:46Could I still look my father in the face after that?
00:50:53I don't know
00:50:55What is this?
00:51:00My God
00:51:02What have I done?
00:51:06The same thing as many others before you
00:51:12And now you despise me
00:51:19What has seduced me in you?
00:51:22The fact that I was weak and you were strong?
00:51:27The fact that I fell and you got up?
00:51:29Was that love?
00:51:33Is that love?
00:51:35Besides, do you know what love is?
00:51:37I hope so. Do you think I've never fucked?
00:51:43You are divine
00:51:46The language you use
00:51:49The thoughts you have
00:51:52That's what you learn in my environment
00:51:54That's what I am
00:51:57And don't play the big lady with me
00:51:59We are the same. Don't forget that
00:52:11Where does the wine you drink come from?
00:52:18From the cellar
00:52:20It's my father's bourgogne
00:52:23Not good enough for his future son-in-law
00:52:30I drink beer
00:52:32It just shows that you have less distinguished tastes than I do
00:52:37You are just a thief
00:52:41Are you going to denounce me?
00:52:45No, I am the accomplice of a thief
00:52:47What's wrong with that?
00:52:51Did you get what you wanted?
00:52:55What about Christine?
00:52:57Don't you have feelings for her too?
00:53:01That's what I thought before, but not anymore
00:53:03Domestics are domestics
00:53:05And whores are whores
00:53:11I can tell you this
00:53:13When I saw you in the wine cellar
00:53:15I had the same dirty thoughts as all the boys my age
00:53:19You said you wanted to die for me
00:53:22In the wine cellar?
00:53:26It was just a joke
00:53:30You're lying
00:53:32No
00:53:35I am
00:53:39It was a story
00:53:42A story for women
00:53:44Smokers
00:53:46Whores
00:53:54So now you've stolen with the Faucons
00:53:56I wouldn't call that stealing
00:53:58I was supposed to be your first branch
00:54:00The branch was rotten
00:54:02I was supposed to be the name of your hotel
00:54:04I was supposed to be sitting behind your counter
00:54:06Attract many clients to your place
00:54:08And inflate their bills
00:54:10No, no, I was going to do that myself
00:54:12I wanted to hide it with your sweet smile
00:54:15Your soul itself is at stake
00:54:19Well, here I am
00:54:22How dare you
00:54:25Flatterer
00:54:27Tramp
00:54:29Get up
00:54:31When I speak
00:54:42Get up
00:54:58Bitch
00:55:01Fucking whore
00:55:04You'd better shut your big mouth
00:55:06And get out of here immediately
00:55:08Now
00:55:11How dare you
00:55:14Me, a whore
00:55:19Have you ever seen a single woman
00:55:22Dress like a whore this night
00:55:29Do you think, my poor Julie
00:55:32That a housewife would behave with a man like you did
00:55:36Have you ever, Julie
00:55:38Seen a single woman in my class
00:55:41Behave like you did this night
00:55:49I'll make sure the animals and the prostitutes
00:55:58Hit me
00:56:01I'm Annie Montice
00:56:03I'm Annie Montice
00:56:05I must say I'm very pleased to have seduced you
00:56:09Although it was a bit too easy to be exciting
00:56:16Why don't you hit me then
00:56:20Hit me
00:56:26No
00:56:29Forgive me
00:56:34I wouldn't hit a dog if I were a woman
00:56:40I must have been happy
00:56:42To see that in reality
00:56:44It was just a wink that blinded my eyes
00:56:49Even if I suffer
00:56:51Seeing that what I aspired to
00:56:53With so much strength
00:56:55Was not a more substantial thing
00:56:58More noble
00:57:02I suffer to see that you have descended
00:57:06Lower than a cook's spoon
00:57:11As you speak to me
00:57:13As if you were already above me
00:57:16I am
00:57:20I can make of you a countess
00:57:22You cannot make of me a count
00:57:24It is by my birth that I am of nobility
00:57:26You will never be able to say so
00:57:28Very nice, very nice
00:57:30But my children will
00:57:32You are a thief
00:57:34And I am not
00:57:36There are things in this world
00:57:38Much worse than a thief
00:57:40You can believe me
00:57:42You are a woman
00:57:44Much too good
00:57:46For someone like me
00:57:50You made a mistake
00:57:52You sought to justify it
00:57:54You sought to convince yourself
00:57:56That you loved me
00:57:58You did not love me
00:58:00You wanted me
00:58:02So your love is not better than mine
00:58:06And I do not want to be just your pet
00:58:10I will never truly love you
00:58:14Are you so sure of that?
00:58:20I can love you
00:58:24You are beautiful
00:58:28And cultivated
00:58:30And pleasant
00:58:34The passion that you have aroused
00:58:36Is almost gone
00:58:44A single kiss
00:58:48You will not love me like that
00:58:50How then?
00:58:52Tell me, Camille
00:58:54I cannot love you like that
00:58:56How?
00:58:58How?
00:59:02You are as repulsive as a rat
00:59:08I execrate you
00:59:10With all my strength
00:59:12But I cannot
00:59:14Escape you
00:59:16Escape me
00:59:19How?
00:59:24How?
00:59:26Tell me, how?
00:59:28You will go upstairs
00:59:32To your father's office
00:59:34There is a key in the upper drawer
00:59:36Straight, with this key
00:59:38Open the lower drawer on the left
00:59:40You will find banknotes
00:59:44Take this money
00:59:46I am leaving
01:00:04Give me a glass of wine
01:00:16Thank you
01:00:38How ironic
01:00:40I swore to my mother
01:00:42That I would never be a slave to a man
01:00:44She had abhorred me
01:00:46She had a horrible marriage
01:00:48When my father asked her for her hand
01:00:50She said no
01:00:52She could not be his wife
01:00:54But he could be his lover
01:01:06Do not drink like that
01:01:08Why?
01:01:10It is vulgar
01:01:12I am vulgar
01:01:14My mother was a butcher
01:01:16And she believed in equality for women
01:01:20I was going to be the living proof
01:01:22That any woman
01:01:24Is just as strong as a man
01:01:26I was taught
01:01:28How to take care of horses
01:01:30How to go hunting
01:01:32How to go to a slaughterhouse
01:01:34So that I could learn to kill
01:01:36I could not do it
01:01:38My father adored my mother
01:01:40He let her change everything
01:01:42Men were entrusted with
01:01:44The tasks of women
01:01:46Women were entrusted with the tasks of men
01:01:48And all of it was stolen
01:01:50Until my father realized
01:01:52And put everything back in order
01:01:54Then my mother fell ill
01:01:56I adored my father
01:01:58But I took my mother's side
01:02:02She tried to set the house on fire
01:02:04My father almost committed suicide
01:02:06Did you know
01:02:08That he shot himself?
01:02:20And he missed
01:02:30Yes, it's men, isn't it?
01:02:32Yes, most of the time
01:02:34The days of weakness
01:02:36Oh, my God
01:02:40Of course you hate me
01:02:42With all my strength
01:02:44I would like to kill you like a beast
01:02:48What are we doing now?
01:02:50We are fleeing
01:02:52Towards the lake of Kaum
01:02:54Where the sun always shines
01:02:56Where the laurels are green
01:02:58At the time of Christmas
01:03:00And where the oranges are shiny
01:03:03We take good time
01:03:05For ten days
01:03:07Eight days, as long as it lasts
01:03:09And then we die
01:03:14I prefer to open a hotel
01:03:16Don't you want to die with me?
01:03:21I don't want to die
01:03:23I want to live
01:03:25But suicide is a mortal sin
01:03:33Do you believe in God?
01:03:41I'm tired of all this
01:03:45I think a man owes something
01:03:47To the woman who dishonored him
01:03:57What a bastard
01:04:00Me? Bastard?
01:04:06At least I don't have any supporters in my family
01:04:09What are you saying?
01:04:12The founder of your family was a miner
01:04:14Who earned his title of count
01:04:16Because he let the king fuck his wife
01:04:18During the war in Denmark
01:04:21I'm not one of them
01:04:23No, but you could have a noble progeny
01:04:30No
01:04:32At least be a little nice
01:04:34Treat me like a human being
01:04:36You're treating me like a human being
01:04:38You spit on me
01:04:40Without even allowing me to wipe myself off you
01:04:48Is there no other way out?
01:04:52Yes
01:04:55Make your trips
01:04:57And leave
01:04:59Alone
01:05:03Impossible
01:05:05I need orders to do something
01:05:07Orders
01:05:09I can't leave or stay
01:05:11I need to be given orders
01:05:17Go upstairs
01:05:19Go to your father's office
01:05:21Take the money and bring it to me
01:05:24Yes
01:05:34Very well
01:05:44Come upstairs with me
01:05:46No
01:05:54What happened?
01:06:18What happened?
01:06:21Miss Julie was shot here
01:06:25You must have heard some noise
01:06:29No, I didn't hear anything
01:06:31I slept like a log
01:06:39You're supposed to take me to mass this morning
01:06:46What's the subject of the sermon?
01:06:48What's the subject of the sermon?
01:06:52I think it will be the take off of St. John the Baptist
01:06:56It will probably be short
01:07:00What did you do all night?
01:07:06You didn't go to bed
01:07:12I chatted
01:07:14Chatted with...
01:07:18Miss Julie
01:07:21She doesn't know what she's saying
01:07:27Did you drink with her too?
01:07:49Look at me
01:08:02Did you drink with her?
01:08:11Yes
01:08:14Poor girl
01:08:20You're not...
01:08:25You're not ashamed
01:08:27that I feel bad for doing this
01:08:33You can't stay in this house
01:08:35where you can't respect your superiors
01:08:37Why should I respect them?
01:08:39You can't be at the service of people who are not respectable
01:08:42Don't worry, these people don't deserve much better than us
01:08:45If they're not better than us
01:08:47I wonder why we're trying to improve ourselves
01:08:50Have you thought about it?
01:08:52Tell me
01:08:53You'll know that this man has known
01:08:56I don't want to stay in this house
01:09:00If I were Clara
01:09:02or one of the girls in the kitchen
01:09:04I would have been jealous
01:09:06but I'm not one of them
01:09:09They say he loved you
01:09:11A valet
01:09:13His body was the notary or someone important
01:09:19I'm not staying
01:09:20I'm not staying in this house
01:09:27Where are you going?
01:09:35Where are we going?
01:09:39I won't find a place like this
01:09:41once I'm married
01:09:45You can find a job as a caretaker
01:09:47or a concierge
01:09:49Or a civil servant
01:09:53Civil servants are poorly paid
01:09:55but at least there's a pension for the wife and children
01:09:58I don't intend to die for my wife and children
01:10:01Not yet
01:10:04I have bigger ambitions
01:10:06I know what your ambitions are
01:10:08Oh yes?
01:10:10But you're forgetting your responsibilities
01:10:12Don't talk to me about my responsibilities
01:10:22What's going on?
01:10:26It's just that Clara...
01:10:28It can't be the count
01:10:30It can't be the count?
01:10:33No, the count would have called me
01:11:00Come on
01:11:15Go to church
01:11:17Come
01:11:22Go on, don't wait
01:11:30Go
01:12:00Go
01:12:30Go
01:12:54Shh!
01:12:56There's somebody here
01:13:00Is she suspecting anything?
01:13:02No
01:13:03Do you have the money?
01:13:07Yes
01:13:08Excuse me
01:13:11Miss?
01:13:12Enough to start
01:13:14Do you want to count?
01:13:20Are you still coming with me?
01:13:24Yes
01:13:31Come
01:13:33We're going out through the main door
01:13:36Do you understand?
01:13:38Good morning, my dear
01:13:40Good morning, the sun is rising
01:13:42They're hunting the demons of the night
01:13:47Yes, the demons are on their way out
01:13:52Come here, my dear
01:13:54Listen, I've planned everything
01:13:56We can't go out through the back
01:13:59We'll go out through the front
01:14:01Nobody will suspect anything
01:14:03I'll play the valet
01:14:05I'll be a valet one last time
01:14:12Miss Julie
01:14:15What are you doing?
01:14:17Miss
01:14:19Miss, we can't take this bird
01:14:22If we take this bird, we'll attract attention
01:14:25If we attract attention, we'll be caught
01:14:27Leave it, please
01:14:29I'm not going anywhere without this bird
01:14:41Miss Julie, we have to leave
01:14:43He's my only memory of this house
01:14:47Come and help me catch him
01:14:50Please
01:14:54Very well, let me do it
01:15:19Let me go
01:15:38You should have learned to kill animals, Miss
01:15:49Kill me
01:15:58Kill me too
01:16:00Kill me too
01:16:07I curse the moment I laid my eyes on you
01:16:12I curse the moment I was conceived in my mother's womb
01:16:18I despise you
01:16:23I hate you
01:16:26Do you think the sight of blood makes me sick?
01:16:29Do you think I'm too weak?
01:16:31I'd like to see your brain and your blood on this bill
01:16:34I'd like to see all the blood in a lake of blood on my feet
01:16:37I'd like to drink from your skull, lick my feet and your chest
01:16:40devour your heart in one bite
01:16:42Do you think I'm weak? Do you think I love you because my stomach desires your sex?
01:16:46Do you think I want to carry your child in my womb and feed it with my blood?
01:16:50Be the mother of your child and have your name
01:16:52But I don't even know your family name
01:16:54I don't know if you have one
01:16:56I'll call myself Mrs Vallée, or Mrs Béchiotte
01:16:59Poor cat who likes to wear my necklace
01:17:01Poor son of a blacksmith who wears my armor on your buttons
01:17:04Do I have to share you with my cook?
01:17:06Do I have to be the rival of a little whore?
01:17:10Do you think I'm a coward and that I want to run away?
01:17:12And that I stay? I stay
01:17:16I want the storm to burst
01:17:18My father will come home soon to find that we opened his office and took his money
01:17:22He'll have to come to the police, and then I'll tell them everything
01:17:25But it won't kill my father, it'll be the end for our family
01:17:28The long line of accounts will finally be erased
01:17:30And without a second thought, she'll continue to live in an orphanage
01:17:34And she'll win her blackness in the stream
01:17:36To end up in prison
01:17:40Yvette, you're my life
01:17:46I love you
01:18:05Where are you both going dressed like that?
01:18:08Christine, help me
01:18:10Save me
01:18:13Save me from this man
01:18:17Don't tell me that you trust this torture
01:18:28Listen, listen, you'll understand
01:18:32No, I won't understand, and I don't want to
01:18:35La Souillon would like to know where you're going
01:18:43To church, I hope
01:18:47It's time to shave
01:18:57I beg you
01:19:00Christine
01:19:02Try
01:19:04Try to understand
01:19:06I don't want to know
01:19:08But if you think you can persuade him to leave, I would have quickly stopped him
01:19:16No
01:19:23Go on
01:19:25If the three of us go to church together
01:19:29In Switzerland
01:19:31I have money
01:19:36I beg you, say yes, Christine
01:19:38I beg you, say yes
01:19:40We'll set up a hotel together
01:19:43We'll set up a kitchen
01:19:45Don't you think it would be nice?
01:19:48I beg you, say yes
01:19:53You've never travelled, Christine
01:19:55It's great to see the world
01:19:57You can't imagine how fun it is to travel by train
01:20:00Always new faces, always new countries
01:20:03And when we're in Hamburg, we'll visit the zoo
01:20:06You'll love it
01:20:07And then the theatre, and then the opera
01:20:09And then when we're in Munich, we'll visit all the museums
01:20:12The great painters are there
01:20:14Rubens, Raphael
01:20:16You've heard of Munich
01:20:18That's where King Louis went crazy
01:20:20His castles are still there, just like in fairy tales
01:20:24And then, once we're further away from the Alps
01:20:27Imagine the Alps, bathed in the sun
01:20:30With snow in the middle of summer
01:20:32There, the sun shines all year round
01:20:34The laurels are always green
01:20:36The oranges shine
01:20:37That's where we'll set up a hotel
01:20:39We'll have a very lively life
01:20:41We'll have trains here
01:20:43Cars coming and going
01:20:45Customers singing in the rooms and in the restaurants
01:20:48And you'll give yourself to the waiters
01:20:52And I'll be sitting behind the counter
01:20:54And I'll be dealing the bills
01:20:56Customers are always shy when it's time to pay
01:20:58But you'll be in charge of the kitchens
01:21:00You won't have to work in the kitchen
01:21:02No, you'll be well-dressed
01:21:04You'll talk to the customers
01:21:06And with your beautiful friend, who won't flatter you
01:21:08One day, you'll find a good party
01:21:10Maybe a rich Englishman
01:21:12The English are an easy prey
01:21:15And then, we'll become rich
01:21:17And we'll build a villa on the Alps
01:21:21Yes, it's true that sometimes it rains a little
01:21:25But it will surely be sunny from time to time
01:21:31Even if the sky is rather cloudy
01:21:36And then, we'll be able
01:21:39If it doesn't work
01:21:41We'll be able to come back
01:21:43Here, or...
01:21:45Each one of us
01:21:48Or go somewhere else
01:22:08Goodbye
01:22:22Does the young lady believe all this?
01:22:38No
01:23:09Go on, confess your act of nobility
01:23:12I really don't know what you're talking about
01:23:17They're stealing from you
01:23:28Very well, I'll go alone
01:23:30And I'll come back with enough forgiveness for both of us
01:23:34Our Lord suffered and died
01:23:36On the cross for our sins
01:23:38And if we go to Him with faith and repent
01:23:41He will answer our sins
01:23:46You can believe that
01:23:50I firmly believe it
01:23:53It's true that I've been lacking my conviction since my childhood
01:23:57And I've always kept it
01:23:59Where sin overflows
01:24:02Grace also overflows
01:24:07If only I could have your voice
01:24:10It's true that God's grace is not given to everyone
01:24:16Who will receive it then?
01:24:19To tell the truth, the Lord doesn't want to favor anyone
01:24:23But the last will be the first, according to the Gospel
01:24:28So the last will be the first
01:24:31Know that it's easier for a camel to pass through the hole of a needle
01:24:34Than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God
01:24:37It's also in the Gospels
01:24:46I'll take the precaution of going to the healers
01:24:49I'll tell them not to let anyone take a horse before the count returns
01:24:59Goodbye, Miss Julie
01:25:04Goodbye
01:25:34Goodbye
01:26:05Have you ever seen a hypnotist?
01:26:11When the hypnotist says to his subject
01:26:14Take this broom and let him take it
01:26:17Then he orders him to sweep and he sweeps
01:26:25Do the same
01:26:35You can do it
01:26:37You were so good with my father's jacket
01:26:40You were a real aristocrat
01:26:43You can do it
01:26:47Everything is clear and peaceful
01:26:51And in the feet so well
01:26:54A lot of smoke
01:26:56In the feet so well
01:26:58A lot of smoke
01:27:04And your eyes are like burning coal
01:27:09In a fire that goes out
01:27:20I feel the heat coming from you
01:27:27Tell me to take the broom
01:27:49Go on, take the broom
01:27:56Thank you
01:28:09Thank you
01:28:13Now tell me that the first ones can also receive the gift of grace
01:28:21Tell it even if you don't believe it
01:28:27You are no longer among the first
01:28:34You are among the last
01:28:45That's right
01:28:56That's right
01:29:26That's right
01:29:56That's right
01:30:26That's right
01:30:33That's right
01:30:40That's right
01:30:50That's right
01:30:57That's right
01:31:01That's right
01:31:04That's right
01:31:13That's right
01:31:26That's right
01:31:56Thank you
