Are they?

People come driving by here, and

they take guys back to their flat.

Around eleven and midnight,

you'll see big cars stopping here.

Fords, Mercedes.

Yes, big bosses stop here.

What sort?

Of factories. Big heads.

You can make a film about that?

And what a film!

It'll sell in Pigalle.

Dearest Johan,

Tonight I met a Tunisian boy

under the metro

between Barbes and La Chapelle.

He was beautiful;

he could have played your part.

He took me with him

into a blind alley

close to a disused railway line.

The sky was clear;

I saw a shooting star,

and I made a wish

like when I was a kid.

As usual, we left each other

without speaking,

without exchanging addresses.

What's the use?

I only think to you.

Johan,

In the film, we'll shoot together,

my friend Christine

will have a leading role.

I don't know what

to tell you about that boy.

But I think he deserved to go to jail.

Because he was not nice

with a lot of guys.

He stole mone y everywhere.

And that, personally,

I don't accept.

Well, if prison

will help him understand.

How long will he be in jail?

I don't know.

Do you think I'm losing

my time with such a boy?

Honestly, yes.

I don't think so.

Honestly, yes.

I think.

Yes, perhaps

we can try to bring him back

into a regular life.

But I don 't think so,

because for him,

maybe it's an illness

to steal mone y everywhere.

Especially in this circle.

Everybody knows him.

Everybody knows each other,

and he'll go on.

I just wanted to know your opinion.

I think you 're wasting

your time with him.

Il don't.

Dearest Philippe,

this evening I am a little sad

because of the little argument

we had in the visitors' room.

As you say, it's true, I am superficial

and I'm never interested

in other people.

Maybe it's narcissism

or something else.

I can't help it if the life I have led

until now made me like that.

I had to manage alone all the time,

and certainly I am

an awfully selfish person.

Philippe,

my position now

is very complicated.

I am at a turning point in my life.

Either I continue the stupid life

I have led until now

and surely

I go back to prison soon.

Or rather, what I want now, is to

choose a very different life

with somebody I respect.

But I need to be

with somebody who trust me.

I am trying to tell you who I am.

Until now the only important thing

for me was to live in luxury.

And I recognise

I did anything to achieve that.

Maybe I was too proud,

but thanks to my face and my body,

I thought I could get

everything in life.

Inevitably, I lost everything

and I found myself alone each time.

So, I disliked everybody

and I only met people in a self-

interested way to get the best.
