I'll see that you get

the first prize for incoherence.

I was taking care of him,

but he said I only wanted him

to get well so I could leave him.

- Did you?

- Yes.

Well, you have definitely left him now.

No, I haven't.

I haven't. Not this way.

Why did you want to leave him?

He loved me.

But I didn't love him.

Where are the suitcases?

First, the bill.

First, the suitcases.

No one has refused to pay the bill... yet.

And next time, knock before you enter.

Did he keep any money in his suitcases?

Why, I don't know.

Marino always had money in his wallet.

Where is it?

He kept it under his pillow.

American money.

A hundred dollars.

I left the wallet where I found it.

Take it.

You can live on this for a while.

Otherwise, it will rot

at police headquarters.

Thank you.

Come in.

Are these all?

Naturally these are all.

Is the bill right?

Well, pay it anyway.

Uh, 297.

- One...

- One...

300 francs.

300 francs.

We get three francs change.

The concierge?

That we'll settle ourselves.

Thank you.

Now the suitcases.

You may find something you'd want.

Well...

the rest is for the police.

When one is dead,

one becomes very important.

Would you like to go downstairs

and wait for the police there?

No. I'll stay here.

There is nothing to do here.

I know, but...

he won't be here much longer.

I often...

He wasn't very happy with me.

I was often away.

Now I'll stay.

He won't know.

It's not that.

All right. Well, I'll watch the proceedings

from the bistro across the street.

Here.

Come to the window

when the police have gone.

I'll come to the window

in my room on the floor above.

Did it go well?

There was no trouble.

What are you going to do now?

I don't know.

I suppose you don't want

to stay on in this hotel.

No.

You should try the Hotel de Milan.

It's clean and decent.

Couldn't I go to the hotel where...

To your hotel?

The International?

Yes, l...

I know it somehow now.

It's better than what I haven't seen.

Well, the International

is not the right hotel for you.

You're right. I'll go to the other.

Is this all right?

Yes. Very good.

At least it seems to be clean.

Yes.

I think you'll be all right here.

Yes, thanks. Many thanks.

You should go to bed.

Do you think you'll be able to sleep?

I'll try.

Well, I'll go now.

I'll look you up one of these days.

What's your name?

Madou.

Joan Madou.

Joan Madou.

I'll remember it.

Well, perhaps I'd better write it down.

Here.

You write it yourself.

It's simpler.

Now go to bed.

All you need is a little time,

a certain amount of time

that you have to get through.

You understand.

Yes.

Thank you. Thank you for everything.

I really don't know what
