Angel-A Page #2

Synopsis: André, a small-time ex-convict, seems to owe money to everyone in Paris, including a crime boss who promises to kill him if he doesn't repay him by midnight. After failing to find protection from the American embassy and the French police, a despairing André scrambles onto a bridge over the Seine, intending to leap to his death. He is surprised to see a tall, beautiful girl clinging to a rail on the same bridge, apparently preparing to end her life as well. She jumps, and he jumps too, suddenly resolving to save her life. After scrambling ashore, she tells him her name is Angel-A. Together, they take a cruise on the Seine, repay André's creditors, visit a Parisian nightspot, and more, as Angel-A helps André. He learns that for this purpose she has fallen out of the sky and into his life. André finds himself falling in love with this mysterious beauty.

Especially in such a

desperate situation.

Monsieur Moussa, your

grandparents lived in Algery.

So, maybe they fought

for independance...

But certainly not the

U.S. independance.

Keep in mind that the green

card you won at the lottery

requires that you obey some rules.

Rules written at the

back of the document

that you obviously did not bother reading.

It is clearly written that the American administration

can cancel your visa in case

of severe or repeated offense.

And in your case, you ostensibly

combine both criteria.

Now, let me give you a more

personal piece of advice.

I think that the only

person that can do anything

for you is... yourself.

Please exit the building quietly.

Or I am going to call the

marines in charge of security.

Hey, Andre!

Andre!

You've got my money, Andre?

Hey, Andre, come here!

You f***er!

Hi!

What are you here for?

Well, err...

I was thinking that... err...

I was intending to...

I can't take it anymore.

I'm at the end of the rope.

What's wrong, little fellow?

I f***ed up.

I have borrowed lots of money.

And my calculations

were slightly wrong.

Now I can't return

anything to these guys.

And if I don't do it

they're going to shoot me.

And you want to report them?

Nah... reporting them...

If I do that they're going

to shoot me even more.

What can I do for you, then?

I was thinking that... you...

Maybe you could put me in

jail for a few days...

Until I figure things out.

That's a joke for TV? Is that it?

No, it's not for TV.

Can't you see I'm about to crack?

And you tell me about TV jokes!

I'm asking you to throw me in jail!

An Arab without any ID papers.

That shouldn't be a problem!

What 'uh... '?

You bastards!

Cowards!

What kind of police is that?

You only start reacting now, uh?

Well... it's too late!

I'm going to kill myself!

And it's your fault.

Nobody cares about me, is that it?

I'm going to do it.

Is that what you want?

Why are you giving up on me?

Why don't you ever

answer my questions?

What are you doing here?

Well... the same as you.

Meaning?

Don't worry!

I'm coming.

I'm here.

Don't worry.

I'm here.

What the hell was that all about?

I can't even kill myself in peace.

Even there, someone has to annoy me.

Don't I deserve a minute alone?

So that I can leave with dignity?

You... what did you come here for?

It's Sunday morning!

Couldn't you stay in

bed, like everybody?

I couldn't sleep.

Then you should have

chosen another bridge.

We have plenty of them in this f***ing city!

Didn't you see that one was occupied?

We had the same idea.

Isn't that funny?

Funny, yeah...

Hysterical.

Can you tell me why

you want to jump off
