American Translation Page #3

You should see the clunkers

they bring in.

What do you do after work?

- Not much.

- You have a girlfriend?

This is Alex, he's a good guy.

We were just chatting.

You'll find gas in Armentires.

We'll stay at Vert Mont Inn

for 2-3 days.

Come see us.

Sure why not.

He can't read?

Is that true?

- Hello, Mrs Levant.

- You've come back?

- I wanted to show my wife around.

- You're married?

We're staying 2-3 days,

do you have a room?

He won't be pleased to see you,

but...

we have few clients now.

But you pay in advance.

Sure, no problem.

He never got over it.

She's talking about her husband.

Their son died.

He was my best friend.

Benoit.

Ben.

We were always hanging out.

Going out drinking all night.

Then one evening, in his pad,

he started howling like crazy,

completely drunk...

saying that he wanted to die,

that the world was a sh*t hole,

he didn't want to be part of it...

The more he talked...

the more I laughed, listening to him.

But he wasn't laughing.

He seemed so convinced.

I didn't even try to comfort him

or contradict him.

Nothing.

I left him alone.

Next day...

his father found him in his room,

checked out.

Alcohol overdose, some sh*t like that.

We mixed everything in our drinks

to get really f***ed up.

You make me become somebody

else.

I feel a rage inside.

I'm back into the blood.

I love you.

I speak American too.

When I walk like this going nowhere,

crazy ideas go through my head.

You wanna know?

Sure.

I'm like a fish,

no one hears me cry.

Everything good is wild and free.

I'd like to be a cowboy.

I didn't kill Ben.

I don't want a life of quiet despair!

Me too!

You know what makes

our love dangerous?

No.

That it ends.

You did it.

You led him astray.

Without you, he'd still be here.

You killed him,

feeding him sick ideas.

I need some fresh air.

You know that old ad?

I saw it in a best-of.

Come in.

You're alone? Where's Chris?

I don't know. You know he likes to

cruise around.

He'll be back soon.

- You married for long?

- No.

He's cool.

You have a girlfriend?

I had one,

but she was too boring.

Hours listening to her talk,

People magazine crap...

just to kiss for 3 minutes.

No tongues,

she was always disgusted.

Bad choice. My brother Simon,

he's the opposite.

His girl got pregnant,

what a fuckup.

- What does he do?

- He's unemployed.

Hi, Chris.

I didn't think you'd come bug us.

You should be with people your age.

Alex...

Alex!

You better go.

I need your help, baby.

A little further to go, baby.

Tell me.

Stop, Chris.

I'll never leave you, baby.

We're a team.

- What should I talk about?

- Will you stop f***ing with me.

You're angry?
