La môme aux boutons Page #2

---

Quiet, please! I wish to propose a toast ...

You're drunk!

You're one to talk!

Help the invalid.

Look out, accordion player, or I'll get you.

Perfect timing.

Get the manager.

I demand champagne on the house.

I'm Edith Piaf,

and I've made a mess of things.

Kiss one another! Even those who don't like each other!

Kiss me, Claude.

.

Who's that slapper?

-No idea.

The spicy beef tartare?

-Where's your handsome friend?

Don't embarrass her...

-Cool it. Who asked you?

Miss?

Miss Piaf, what an honour!

What can I do for you?

A lot. I'd like a present.

-But of course.

I wanted champagne, but I prefer a ring...

...a large ring studded with diamonds.

Don't bother. We'll have the champagne.

Here's to the love I feel for all of you...

...for which I stand. Help me up, someone.

A toast to Marguerite.

My composer and most loyal friend in the business.

Oh, don't blush so.You're making us weep.

What about a photograph?

-I don't think so.

Bubbles and alcohol, perfect!

That's Claude's doing.

You're such a bore, Loulou.

We've just returned to Paris, and we're having fun.

Stop playing the unhappy lover.

I'm waiting for someone.

Don't forget you've responsibilities.

There's more than you.

Remember the first night in Gerney

's?

I looked like a bag lady.

You thought I was a princess.

You WERE a princess.

My princess!

To Marguerite.

To all those who wished

to see me come a cropper.

They think I don't know!

Cheers!

What's the matter, Louis?

-He's in bad form.

Go away. We're busy.

You're not here as decoration.

Get to work.

To work, you.

This is no child's play.

You'll earn your keep. Enough!

Stupid child!

You're in everyone's way!

Go to the trailer.

See to the meal.

Ladies and gentlemen, let's hear it

for Louis, the Human Snake!

What a little angel.

How old is she?

-Ten.

No mother?

What do you mean?

You be so lonely.

What about a calvados

in your trailer?

Let's go.

Do you know who I am?

I'm Theresa.

Are your eyes all right, sweetheart?

Yes.

You're so adorable.

Whom do wish to pray for?

I want to pray for Titine.

Very well. I shall look after you.

Never forget that.

Whenever you feel lonely,

remember I'm always here.

Right, that's it!

You were supposed to change that wheel.

We're all in the same rotten boat!

I don't care!

-No? Then screw you!

You shouldn't let

that kind of thing get you down!

I can't stand Caroli!

You're drunk.

-I'm going solo.

Fat chance of that!

There aren't that many circuses.

I'll manage.

Just when I was getting used to you.

-You'll do okay without me!

Saint Theresa, please make him change his mind.

I don't want to leave the circus.
