Obsession Page #3

---

He was found drowned. We could never

figure it out.

It was so unlike him to jump into water.

Jim was a bon vivant. He was a trapeze

artist by vocation.

Aldo!

Where is he?

Is he gone?

I don't know. He must have gone home.

But I didn't even had a chance to say

"goodbye."

He was probably exhausted.

You're right. Poor fellow.

Excuse me but I feel tired myself.

I'll go with you.

- I'll stay. I don't need anything.

- Waiter!

He's here.

Thank you.

- See you tomorrow.

- Good night.

You aren't asleep?

Give me that photo.

Did you figure it out?

What?

You didn't get it?

I did.

Go to bed, Aldo. You have a fever.

Now you know about Jim.

I love you, Aldo.

Nothing else matters.

I don't care about the rest.

I don't care about Jim.

Here's the champion, old man.

This is sensational!

Mr. Barnat, I want to talk to you.

Come on, tell me.

Mr. Barnat, I'm ready to take over.

- You haven't recovered yet.

- I have. Look!

It's a childish talk, Aldo.

It'll work. I swear.

You need training first.

It was pretty good tonight?

You've been holding on splendidly

for the last two weeks.

Not too bad.

- Go cover yourself up. - I'm not cold.

- Don't argue.

So Mr. Barnat, you no longer have

confidence in me?

Me? Look, Aldo.

I have so much confidence in you that

I want to make you a proposition.

Why not benefit from your inaction to

prepare a little number for three?

No, Mr. Barnat.

Why not?

Because for me it takes 10 months

to prepare a number for three.

And I want to take over tomorrow

with my wife, just the two us,

like before, do you understand?

And I have obligations to Alex and

the others, do you understand?

We'll see!

Get ready, we're going to practice.

Now?

What are you waiting for?

Get undressed.

Please tell me when you're done.

Turn all the lights on. I'll see you

tomorrow.

No, everything starting

from the entrance.

Come on, climb!

No!

I don't have the right to risk

your life.

Aldo, have a little more patience.

I don't want to go to Rouen with him

or to Versailles or wherever.

I have a bad premonition about this.

I need to return to Paris.

- What about me?

- You're a different case.

Aldo, my love, don't do it to me.

Stay with me, I need you.

We are stronger together.

I'm scared without you.

Poor Jim!

Doesn't it remind you, Aldo?

I still don't like coming here.

Don't take all, live some to me.

You should share your pay with

your dogs.

Alex,

we have to bring the equipment.

Aldo hasn't done it?

I don't know, I haven't seen him since

last night.

It's a bit too much... to leave us

like that 5 minutes before the show.

Don't worry, I'll go there.

- These have been weird days for you.
