but this is normal.

Of course, the trial is free.

You promise nothing.

A demonstrator shows you how it works.

He can take it back...

Nothing lost, nothing gained...

I mean, it's simple.

You've heard about

Vedette Tambour 008?

I'm surprised.

It's everywhere.

The advertising of Vedette is so...

Oh, I forgot...

This was never done before.

Usually they are white.

White, white...

nothing but white.

Why?

Tell me why...

It's a habit.

But the colour is so pleasant.

You're no salesman.

- I am indeed.

- No.

But... Why?

Ah, ladies...

No.

No... I don't know...

One has to work... you know.

Thinking of buying it?

Do you want a trial?

If it's no,

I won't take up your time...

nor lose more of mine.

And it's late.

And I have many people to see...

If you want to...

I'll be back next week,

or next month...

If you want to.

But I'll ask you this,

if you don't mind...

don't buy another machine...

before testing 008,

because it is so...

That's a promise?

A trifle, but it is important...

Vedette takes you old machine.

Maybe you have one?

Which brand?

It's over there.

You know the brand?

You've got a Vedette Tambour 008.

We can't help it...

I'll see other people.

Laurence...

Nathalie...

While the research was thought to have

stopped as night was falling

the two murderers

from Dreux forest have been arrested.

Lesson is over.

Who are they? From where?

The older escaped from penitentiary.

The younger is the first born of 9.

His mom, a drunken whore, just died.

Is this Datkin School?

I am Isabelle Granger.

My daugther won't come.

I've changed my mind.

You came back?

I came back.

I thought you were out.

No, I'm home.

Not a single sale...

No lights yet?

- It's no use.

- You're right.

I'll give it up.

I can't sell.

Some say who they are,

and it's in the can.

That's not me.

I don't like it.

Sure, I tried. I...

Deep down. I don't like it.

It's not pleasant.

I just don't like it.

I'll take back my first job...

in a laundry.

I worked 7 years there...

as an apprentice.

I'm a real landerer.

I didn't like it.

I was through with

the boss...

the regular hours,

the boss always on my heels...

Wet clothes are heavy...

Wasn't fun.

I tried another job.

Being a salesman...

is worse,

being kind with people even if...

Then I worked in a garage...

in a department store as a loader...

in a printing house.

You know how it is...

I tried to become someone...

So I worked for

a real-estate agent.

I showed houses to people.

I stole money from him.

I left with a client's check.

They caught me. I don't mind.

I managed quite well.

I paid back in 2 years.

Yes, life was fine.

It lasted 15 days.
