Rosie Page #3

Synopsis: In a juvenile lockup, a new ward answers questions: she's Rosie, 13, no parents, a sister Irene, a brother Michel. In flashbacks we find out what happened. She lives with Irene, who's 27, whom Rosie knows is in fact her mother, but that's their secret. Irene's brother Michel, unemployed, a compulsive gambler, comes to stay with them. Around then, Irene meets Bernard; they come to care for each other. This leaves Rosie without attention, so she puts all her adolescent hopes and romantic fantasies into a relationship with Jimi, a good looking kid she sees on a bus. Is it adventures with Jimi that land her in juvie? Once she's there, why doesn't he answer her letters?

Why do you want to know?

Because we're up to our

ears in the sh*t, sir.

And what's your line of work?

Things are quiet at the moment.

They need people...

- I'm not looking.

Work is important,

just to stay sane.

I'm in business.

Dinner must be ready.

I'll see to it.

Mr Bernard, are you a good man?

Meaning?

Are you a good man?

A decent chap?

That's someone who doesn't drink,

doesn't chase other women.

He doesn't hit his wife,

not every day. Do you drink a lot?

Do you hit your wife?

- No.

Do you like it?

I haven't eaten so well in years.

I've had to cook for myself

since my wife died and...

...you should taste it.

This is delicious.

Really. Delicious.

Here.

Its Saturday evening.

Go out and have some fun.

You could go to the theme park...

Go with that boy.

Go on...

Go ahead...

And stay out for several hours.

And stay out for several hours.

Come on, Bernard...

No really, I trip

over my own feet.

I'm too clumsy.

Michel... dance with me.

Go on... I'd love to

if I was any good at it.

Mummy, are you asleep already?

Are you dreaming...

...or are you in love?

Me too.

I have a boyfriend. Jimi.

A boyfriend? What's that?

A boyfriend is someone you

can trust and who trusts you.

You do things together.

Have things in common.

I can't explain it, but

it's a fantastic feeling.

One's coming... five,

four, three... Go!

Idiot... You could have been killed.

Your turn.

- What do I have to do?

You're my robot.

You have to do whatever I say.

See that man?

Go give him a punch on the nose.

No, that's too cruel.

An order is an order.

- Something else. Okay? For...

Go annoy him then.

Get some money from him.

That's easy.

Hello, sir.

- Hello, child.

Can I have some money for the bus?

- For cigarettes?

No, my child.

Go along home.

But then I'll have to hitch home.

And if I'm kidnapped,

you'll never forgive yourself.

How much is it? 25 Francs?

- Miser. Give me 200.

Are you mad! Not a cent.

Now be off with you.

Give me something or I'll tell

those people you're a dirty old man.

Keep your hands to yourself.

Dirty paedophile.

Hey... Hey...

Do you have everything you want?

I'd love to have some

shoes with high heels.

Do you like them?

They're yours.

Run...

Rosie.

Just look at yourself.

- Nice, huh?

What's that?

- Lacquer. It smells nice too.

Take that stuff out of

yourhair and wash yourface.

Where did you get the boots?

- They were a gift.

From who?

- A friend. His name is Jimi.

Don't you like them?

- You look like a whore.

So what?

Upstairs... now... Understand?

And invite that friend to dinner...

I want a look at him.

The next race. Number 7.

'Goldenboy' bearing number 7
