Rendezvous in Paris

.

Rendezvous at 7

See you Saturday then.

- That long?

I'm free tonight.

- But i'll have an oral exam tomorrow.

I'll probably work the whole night.

- And me tomorrow.

Can't you speed your work up?

No that's impossible, i still don't have

all the things i need.

Ok, so we'll see each

other for dinner?

Tonight?

No, tomorrow.

- I told you that's not possible.

You could take a break.

- But that would make me want to stay with you.

Let's save our strength for Saturday,

that's smarter.

Yeah maybe.

Ok then, have a nice day.

Esther!

How are you?

- Hello, Felix.

Sorry, i'm in a hurry.

- Tomorrow we'll have a party at Rodrigue's.

I'm hoping you'll come?

I know, but i don't think

that i'll show up.

Think about it. We'd be really glad to see you.

- No, tomorrow is really bad for me.

If your guy doesn't want to come,

come without him.

Who says he doesn't want to come?

How should i know...

He'd like to come, but he can't,

he has to work.

Then come alone.

- No.

I don't feel like it.

I don't feel like going to a party

while he has to work.

That's love,

in case you didn't know.

Well he doesn't care either

when he's going out without you.

You're talking nonsense!

- You know everything he does?

I know him better than you.

Who knows? From the distance

one can often see better.

Do you know the restaurant

"Dame Tartine" in Beaubourg?

No, i don't like that quarter.

- Your boyfriend likes it.

He knows a girl, that likes it.

- What?

I often see him there with that girl.

- What do you mean by "often"?

Twice. I don't go there that often.

- Well, can't he go with whoever he likes?

Every day?

But you just said,

you only saw him twice?

For example, last night he was

with me at this hour, at "Bonaparte".

And Tuesday evening?

Tuesday this week? The day before yesterday?

- Yes, the day before yesterday.

This seems to worry you a bit.

- No, not at all.

I don't need a spy.

This doesn't interest me at all.

All i wanted to say was,

if he goes out without you,

you can go out without him aswell.

I simply told you what everyone

knows already, you aswell i hope.

So as usual, you just talked

without saying anything. Spare me that.

You'll still come tomorrow?

- No. I said no.

Bye, Esther!

Hermione!

Gross negligence in

the administrative sector.

Yeah, i think it worked.

I'm calling to tell you that i'll be late.

No no, i need to rest a bit.

Let's say at around 4 o'clock?

I'm sorry that i'm so late.

- Nevermind.

So, did everything work with the writing?

I think so.

Oh you already prepared everthing!

Are you scared of the oral exam?

No, not at all,

i just have keep studying for a few more hours.

Did you want these?

I also have the ones by Javillier.

No, these are fine. I think

i already know half of it anyway.

Well then you'll manage easily.

That's what i expect.

You don't seem too happy about it though.

Yes.

Do you want tea?

- No.

Something else? Orange juice?

- No thanks.

You were crying.

No.

Well, yes. But it's nothing.

- Seriously?

A completely stupid idea

came to my head.

An idea?

I imagined something.

Totally unreal.

Horace?

Why him?

Yes, him. I love him,

i think about him.

And that's why you're crying?

- It's nothing.

Did you fight?

- No, not at all.

I told you, it's pure imagination.

- You imagined that he'll leave you?

Of course not.

But you're still scared, he might jump off?

No.

Well, a bit. I love him.

But does he love you aswell...

He does, just as much.

You're sure?

- Yes.

Sure?

Really sure?

One can never be completely

sure of anything.

Especially when people

hint at something.

At what, i don't know.

Where are you getting at anyway?

Esther!

Say whatever you want about him,

i won't believe a word.

I don't want to say anything.

Esther, you know me.

Esther, are you listening?

If you think i want to hint at something.

- It's not you.

I mean Felix.

He says he saw Horace at a caf

with a girl.

This wouldn't be such a big deal,

but that evening he told me he was going to see his parents.

Felix? He has such a crush on you,

he'd do anything to make your boyfriends look bad.

Whether it's true or false, it hurts.

- Maybe.

But if you break down everytime something like this happens,

you've got a lot of tears ahead of you.

Have you seen him?

- No, at least not since you two know each other.

Before, yes. You know yourself

that he used to have three or four girls at a time.

He used to be a womanizer, i know that.

Well then i'll make him change,

i'll manage.

He'll have to choose between me and the others.

It's all or nothing.

And how do you plan to achieve that?

I won't make a big thing out of it.

I'll just explain to him,

that we promised to tell each other everything.

The truth comes out anyway, as you can see.

He'll deny it and do it again.

These kind of guys are clever.

You'll just make him act more and more.

That's the wrong approach.

What's the right one then?

- I don't know.

Do what he does:
make him jealous.

No.

I just want to be with someone

i can be completely sincere with,

someone i don't need to play games with.

I want to be myself.

Also with him, especially with him.

I'm supposed to be calculating?

Make him jealous? No, never.

Then look for someone else! If you want to change him

you have to take him the way he is first.

He's just reacting, that's human.

Éric Rohmer

Jean Marie Maurice Schérer or Maurice Henri Joseph Schérer, known as Éric Rohmer (French: [eʁik ʁomɛʁ], 21 March 1920 – 11 January 2010), was a French film director, film critic, journalist, novelist, screenwriter, and teacher. Rohmer was the last of the post-World War II French New Wave directors to become established. He edited the influential film journal, Cahiers du cinéma, from 1957 to 1963, while most of his colleagues—among them Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut—were making the transition from film critics to filmmakers and gaining international attention. Rohmer gained international acclaim around 1969 when his film My Night at Maud's was nominated at the Academy Awards. He won the San Sebastián International Film Festival with Claire's Knee in 1971 and the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival for The Green Ray in 1986. Rohmer went on to receive the Venice Film Festival's Career Golden Lion in 2001. After Rohmer's death in 2010, his obituary in The Daily Telegraph described him as "the most durable filmmaker of the French New Wave", outlasting his peers and "still making movies the public wanted to see" late in his career. more…
