Lili

Thank you, madame.

Good morning, monsieur.

Some nice fresh...

There it is.

- I need some onions.

Delivered this morning.

Pick them out yourself.

How are the peaches?

-Eh, the peaches? Wonderful.

I ate one this morning,

and I never tasted...

Uh, can I help you?

- Merci.

Please, monsieur, be careful

with the peaches. -Yes.

There are some

wonderful plums, monsieur.

If you can't use the plums, then...

- Uh..huh.

One kilo is enough.

A kilo and a half, monsieur.

Put it on the scale yourself.

One kilo.

Monsieur, string beans?

And there's some lovely carrots

fresh this morning.

We need some butter.

There's a dairy down there.

Monsieur, my money, please.

Pay for it.

Uh, excuse me.

I'm looking for the shop

of Mr. Godet, the baker.

We just arrived in town.

Ask the woman.

Fresh this morning.

Taste one.

Excuse me, please.

Number 26.

There, 3 doors down.

They are sour.

Uh, monsieur, because you're

a nice gentleman...

here, monsieur... especially

because you are a nice gentleman...

Oh. Please, monsieur.

I'm looking for Mr. Godet, the baker.

Dead.

Died a month ago.

Oh.

What a pity.

You know him?

No, my father knew him.

Mm-hmm.

And Mr. Godet's wife?

Oh, she took the children and moved

to Marseilles to her brother.

Tell your father that the brother's

name is Pastin in Marseilles.

My...my father's dead.

Oh.

You see, my father told me

that his old friend, Mr. Godet

would someday help me,

So when my father was dead

and there was nobody there,

I wrote him a letter,

to Mr. Godet.

And I packed my things and left.

And I thought Mr. Godet would

be expecting me.

Oh.

I see.

You, uh...have no family?

Where will you go?

You have any money?

Well, I thought Mr. Godet

would let me work for him

in his bakery, perhaps.

I'm very strong, you know?

I'm a hard worker.

I can work very hard

without getting a bit tired.

Hmm.

Come in.

Come in. Come in.

Come in.

Have you eaten?

Not...not today,

Hmm.

Perhaps a little bread?

Oh.

Come on.

A little cheese, maybe, huh?

Thank you.

And, uh...a little wine.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

In here. In here.

That's it. Ha ha.

Now, perhaps you

will work for me, eh?

Of course, you understand

I can't pay you while you learn,

but you'll have a nice bed to sleep in

and a stove to cook a little supper,

and in the morning, you will open the shop

and sell a few buttons and pins and, uh...

be my little helper, huh?

Huh?

Hmm. I'm going in here.

Paul, will you get me a bottle

of pinot in the wine shop?

[ Shopkeeper ]

I'm not going to hurt you.

[ Lili ] I want to go.

Oh, no. Come here.

- Please, I want to go.

Please.

- Oh, no, no, no.

I am not going to hurt you.

I'm telling you, I want to go.

I want to go.

No, wait.

Don't be afraid.

Oh. Yes, monsieur?

May I be of service, monsieur?

A little trouble with my helper.

Very difficult to find good help

these days.

They're lazy and stupid.

- And uncooperative.

How much?

- 90 please, monsieur.

I want half a dozen.

85. What are you

standing there for?

You can get out.

I take her off the streets,

a girl with no references,

no family, no money,

and...colors, monsieur...

and I give her place to sleep

and food to eat

and a fine opportunity

to learn a trade.

And what happens?

-Nothing, I hope. 75.

Uh, 80. She breaks my

pitcher and eats my food.

I didn't...

I didn't eat anything.

I was going to eat, but he...

You're through. Good-bye.

What are you waiting for?

But my suitcase in there

and my hat and my purse.

Your face is dirty, little mouse.

There is nothing

to cry about.
