-It's ridiculous.

-What's ridiculous?

Trying to take his place.

Don't psychoanalyze

What bothers you?

You take your brother's name

and you sing like your sister.

You think you're the centre

of the world.

But you don't.

I'm a singer too.

Please, you don't give up

to fight.

Admit that I'm right.

He can't impose his choices,

like you.

No one imposed me anything.

Did you choose "Dalida"?

Yes, I did.

Think of Orlando.

He agreed. He said yes.

Do as you wish, it's your Olympia.

I can't stop you

from putting on her concerts.

She asked me.

The public want her.

Don't play at that with me.

You're my friend.

I can't betray you.

You're my friend too.

But I warn you:

the radio won't play her songs...

...or advertise the show.

To us, she's finished.

I'm not saying that because.

You know I can be objective.

What goes down well today?

Rock. Twist. You know that.

I agree with you.

But how can I refuse her?

I don't know.

Anyway...

No, please.

I'm at the Olympia

for Dalida's first night.

Some say it will be her last.

Excuse me, sir...

...are you for or against Dalida?

A woman who cheats

shouldn't be allowed to sing.

But you came.

For my wife. We bought

the tickets ages ago.

Consider it shameful.

These are the first impressions

and they're rather frosty.

Sing with passion, as always.

Lucien.

The plumbing in the bathroom

is faulty.

Are you okay?

You need anything?

Can you get rid of that?

Is that a wreath?

To the death of song,

long live Edith Piaf

Who put it there?

What's going on here, Franois?

I told everyone,

nobody bring to her...

Showtime in 10 minutes!

Showtime in 10 minutes!

Live from the Olympia...

-Do you think he'll come?

-Who? Sobieski?

He's not in the dressing room

or on the guest list.

Tell me why, when

a wife cheats...

...she leaves her husband?

Nobody's perfect!

This is Agathe.

-Charming.

-I'm glad you're here.

-Everyone's here.

-Yes all of them.

Vultures ready to pounce.

I can't say I'm glad.

Where are we?

Right in front. Good seats.

-See you later.

-See you later.

-Good evening.

-Thank you.

Go on, my love.

Don't lose heart.

I didn't know why I was living

I didn't know what use I was

Now, now I know

My eyes were made to gaze at you

My lips to give you kisses

My ear to count your heartbeats

My hands to grasp

and hold your warmth

And since then

I feel alive

Because I love you

And since then I feel alive

I feel alive because I love you

Because I love you

Because I love you

Because I love you

And you love me

Perfect! Perfect!

My eyes are but to

see you wake up

My lips are but to

cradle your sleep

Fantastic!

Absolutely fantastic.

Champagne?
