Indochine Page #3

But nothing existed but him.

I know he loved me too.

Prepare him the opium.

Good day, sir.

Eliane's not here.

Yes, I know.

Thursday she's at the bank.

She'd brought no one here

in years.

I'm going to tell you a story.

I'm not interested.

Oh, no, you don't!

You're in my house!

Now listen!

Father was so afraid of losing me.

He was capable of anything then.

OId Tchung told me one day...

that Father had offered

Jean-Baptiste money.

How much?

How much is your daughter worth?

Go ahead. Humiliate me, pay me!

Name a price.

Give me a figure!

100,000 piastres? 200,000?

I saw how the steward, the coolies, the

bankers were all at her beck and call!

So it'll cost you!

500,000.

If I leave her to you,

500,000.

Say it! I want to hear it!

Yes. 500,000.

No, sir.

Such things don't have a price.

You have your life ahead of you.

She and I don't. Leave her!

Jean-Baptiste?

Mister officer gone.

When will he be back?

Me not know.

"Flee, jealousy, tortures--

Wherever you are,

your soul will embrace mine."

Now, lovely archangel,

it's your turn.

Stop it.

I'm trying my luck.

An apparition!

You, here?

I've looked everywhere for you.

Talk to me, Jean-Baptiste, talk.

There will always be hours,

days and weeks to myself.

All to myself.

Understand?

The same goes for you.

We're two people.

I need you.

You're part of my life now.

I need your voice...

your tenderness, your hands--

Protect me.

You must protect me.

Stop it.

This pleading woman isn't you.

I want the world,

not a little corner like a tomb.

I want to discover the world.

Are you upset, madame?

No. Why?

Because you're crying.

Go away.

Go away. You're crazy!

Forgive me.

Jean-Baptiste!

Stop!

Stop!

Get out.

Satait, please leave.

Life continues as before.

The sound of footsteps

on dead leaves...

sap oozing from

the wounded trees...

and above all, what I loved most

and others didn't--

the smell of rubber.

I didn't believe it.

I'm so used to Guy's jokes.

- You arrived when?

- Two days ago.

You'll be staying?

Tanh was expelled from France.

What? What did you say?

He's been expelled. Positively.

But why?

She knows about Yen-Bay?

It's her country.

She's entitled to know.

Three months ago,

Indo-Chinese troops...

massacred their French officers.

So we executed the assassins.

End of story.

Not at all! In Paris, supporters

of the assassins demonstrated.

The demonstrators were jailed.

End of story.

Not at all.

It triggered solidarity movements.

They marched up the Elysee!

And Tanh was among them.

So they kicked him out.

And now?

Now it is over, Camille.

I was bad. I was punished.

On the boat coming back...
