Queen to Play Page #4

---

You wanted to see me?

Sit down.

What's been going on?

Two weeks ago...

the Belgian couple complained...

thatyou hadn't changed

the towels for two days.

Yesterday...

the guest in room 9 sent for me

to see how badly his bed was made.

Then this morning room 12

said you were rude...

when he asked you for mineral water.

What's wrong?

I'm a maid, not a waitress.

You're what I payyou to be.

Lfthejob isn't good enough foryou...

lots ofpeople out there

would snap it up.

I run this place alone.

I can't accept sloppiness.

All right.

Lisa?

- What's wrong...

- Leave me alone.

Tell me about it.

It's Antoine, isn't it?

Has he hurtyou?

He wants us to break up.

Why?

He's with someone else.

Didn't he tell you?

Yes. But he thought it was over.

Then when he got back

he saw her again.

Oh, my darling.

I can see his point.

Why should he be

with a working class girl?

What doyou mean?

Antoine is middle class!

His girlfriend is middle class.

You know something?

I'm glad it's over.

I couldn't have brought him here.

It's too tacky!

Stop it.

I never told him you're a cleaner.

I don't want to end up likeyou!

Lisa, go to bed.

You both disgust me!

You're right. I ruin eveything.

Don't.

Don't.

No, I'm not sick.

I'm not coming over anymore.

I've decided...

I'm not playing chess anymore.

Because it's impossible.

It's too complicated.

I'm not coming over anymore.

Not even for the cleaning.

Good-bye.

Hello, Jacky.

Hi.

"The real world

was that ofhis mind...

and the stories he wrote

the only possible reality."

I found this in your room.

Haveyou read it?

It made me cy.

Beautiful.

The sailorwho became a writer.

You mean the writer

who should have stayed a sailor.

Why doyou say that?

Because he's unhappy.

Because he realizes

it wasn't worth the effort.

And he doesn't belong anhere.

Yes, but he did it.

Lfhe's an outsider, it's because he's better

than those he tried to impress.

Why be better ifyou don't

do anything with it?

It must have been hard

when you moved here.

Yes, a bit.

I'd left eveything, no friends.

I spent my time

waiting foryour father.

No more chess?

That's silly! Why not?

It's not a women's game.

That annoys me.

Like men are smarter than us!

The most powerful piece

is the queen, right?

How doyou know?

I just know.

Show me howyou danced

with your friend Ouidad.

Come on, Mom!

Lfyou've come here to clean...

takeyour flowers and go.

I've found someone else.

Shall we start?

What doyou mean?

Let's play.

I'll be white?

I betyou've been practicing

on your own.

Come on!

I can't wait forever!

Is this whatyou came back for?

Ofcourse. What else?

Shall we play blitz?
