Camille Claudel Page #6

---

I can't work alone.

And Jessie Lipscomb

is leaving us for England.

I need qualified artists.

Talented ones! And fast!

No time to lose.

Which brings me...

to the pressing reason

for my visit here.

I want Camille in Paris!

Oh, yes.

That's the end of vacation.

Madame Rodin, coffee is served.

I feel you're abandoning me.

You're abandoning me.

Rodin didn't

come to say good-bye.

Give his secrets to the English.

I won't give them.

I'll sell them!

Here they come!

Welcome.

Marvelous, isn't it?

Pure 18th century...

Change the locks.

It sure stinks...

Industry, Louis, industry.

I thought the "Neubourg Folly"

was a madhouse.

Did you check thoroughly?

Yes. Nobody's living here.

The country!

Right here in Paris!

Do you like our new studio,

Miss Claudel?

I'm the happiest woman alive.

I love you.

I love you!

Look how beautiful you are...

Look...

Stay with me tonight...

No...

I don't want to upset my family.

Just look at them!

Scandalous!

Louis Prosper, come inside now.

You'll catch cold.

When I think Camille

doesn't even bother...

to come home on Sunday.

Your one day at home...

Are you listening to me?

She's a bad example for Paul.

I couldn't find Giganti!

You'll forget him.

He'd have been a good

"Bourgeois of Calais." To work!

You loved her?

I know you loved her.

You never dared tell her.

I'll tell you a secret, Giganti.

Without her, I don't know...

She's my only

source of inspiration.

What does she have

that I've lost?

I'm going.

No. What'll I do without you?

Poor boy,

drowning in filthy water...

...too disgusted to call

for help, he lets himself die.

I want to go far away,

leave Paris...

...leave the family...

leave everything around me...

before it's too late.

Rodin will surely help you.

You'll join

the foreign service...

At least now

you remember I exist.

What's this?

Your sister and her fiance

are here!

Tell Rodin

you'd prefer China or America...

Your fiancee is a fine pianist,

Mr. Massary.

What are you lovebirds doing?

Come, have your picture taken.

Rodin was going

to give you a raise. Did he?

He promised, Papa.

Does he pay you regularly?

Yes.

The "Bourgeois of Calais"

are nearly done.

What does that

have to do with it?

Since you met Rodin...

you've done no work of your own.

That's not true.

He's more concerned

about my future than I am.

This is December.

If you haven't begun,

you'll miss the Salon.

You've exhibited nothing yet

this year.

I've learned to work faster

from him.

My daughter didn't wait...

...for Rodin in order to exist!

Don't ever forget...

...that we're different.

That we're the Claudels.

You always worked faster
