Repulsion

Synopsis: In London, Belgian immigrant Carol Ledoux shares an apartment with her older sister Helen, and works as a manicurist at a beauty salon. Helen uses the word "sensitive" to describe Carol's overall demeanor, which is almost like she walks around in a daze, rarely speaking up about anything. When she does speak up, it generally is about something against one of those few issues on which she obsesses, such as Helen's boyfriend Michael's invasion of her space at the apartment. That specific issue may be more about men in general than just Michael's actions, as witnessed by Carol being agitated by hearing Helen and Michael's lovemaking, and she not being able to rebuff the advances effectively of a male suitor, Colin, who is infatuated with her. One of those other obsessive issues is noticing cracks and always wanting to fix them. While Helen and Michael leave on a vacation to Pisa, Italy, Carol chooses largely to lock herself in the apartment, ditching work. There, she is almost hypnotized

- Have you fallen asleep?
- Oh, I'm sorry!
I think you must be
in love or something.
Why does the old bitch pick on me?
That's the second time this week.
I nearly told her what she
could do with the job.
- Hey, are you asleep?
- That's what I asked her.
She wants me to stay
until seven again.
What polish are you putting on?
- The usual one Madam.
- Oh, I'm fed up with it.
I feel like a change.
Give me Revlon's Fire & Ice.
I'll go and get it.
Madame Denise?
Madame Denise,
Mrs. Randlesham wants
Revlon's Fire & Ice.
I don't think there's any left.
Put this on. She'll never
know the difference.
Hello, darlin'. How
about the other then?
You can't eat stuff like this!
Come on, I'll take
you to Wheelers. OK?
I have to get back.
Oh, we can have a, we
can have a quick meal.
Come on.
I can't.
- I'll be late.
- Well, just...one thing then?
No?
I can't.
- Well, goodbye.
- But, just a, just a minute!
What about tonight?
I'm sorry, but I'm busy tonight.
You really make me feel wanted.
Who's the lucky boy?
I'm having dinner with my sister.
She a cook good?
I don't know...I haven't
even thought about it.
Well, at least it can't be
any worse than Fish and chips.
I think we're having rabbit.
Rabbit? Oh!
I thought they'd all been killed off.
- No. She has a friend...
- A rabbit?
No, I think the friend has rabbits.
Poor bunny.
Well, what about tomorrow?
- Tomorrow?
- Yeah.
What's doing tomorrow?
I'll meet you at the Hoop
and Toy, you know, the pub
along there. But ah, seven?
- Hello!
- Hello!
Come along, boy.
Walkies! Walkies!
Have a good day?
- Darling?
- Yes.
How's work?
All right.
It's close today.
Are you still going away?
Oh Darling, please don't start that again.
- How long are you going for?
- I've told you.
- Fortnight?
- Mind.
How long?
Ten or twelve days.
No more than that?
I heard such a funny story
on the news this evening.
Does he have to leave his
things in the bathroom?
The Minister of Health,
what's his name?
He found eels coming out of his sink.
It was on the television.
Even the announcer was laughing.
Why does he put his
toothbrush in my glass?
Carol. Please!
We must get this crack mended.
What?
- Hello!
- Hello!
You're early.
I didn't expect you for hours!
I couldn't live without
you for another minute.
Idiot!
Anyway, you said eight-thirty.
I haven't even started yet.
There's a marvelous story
in this evening's paper.
Increase at least one hour.
- Huh?
- Your rabbit. I'm cooking it.
Look:
bring to the boil, skim and
allow to simmer slowly for 1-1/2 hours.
Yes, well, we'll go out
tonight, I'll take you out.
Here, read that.
Oh, I know that.
I saw it on television.
That bloody bell!
Eels...ha!
Pity it wasn't lobster though.
You never give me a chance to
show you what a good cook I am.
You can tell me over dinner.
You think they'd have something
better to do than clang away
like that all the time.
It's worse when they start
ringing it at midnight.
I wonder what they
ring it for, anyway?
Perhaps they have wild parties.
Maybe they'll invite me sometime.
Go put your best bib and
tuck on, I feel like a spree.
Ah, the beautiful younger sister.
Comment a va?
I thought you were eating in?
Aren't you going to have dinner?
Yes.
I'm going to have dinner.
But not here.
No, not here.
Pass me that brush will
you, there's a love.
Just because I go out once,
there's no need to start sulking!
I'm not sulking.
Hmm! Well, you're not exactly smiling.
Come on, you're not going into
the Miss World competition.
