Come on.
Let's show 'em
how it's done.
Unh.
Aah!
- Come on!
- Hey, come on!
Damn!
- I got you!
- Aah!
Where are my glasses?
Clean my wound!
There's no water.
Well, use your tongue, then, you idiot!
Aah!
Thank you.
Abel!
What are you doing?
Abel!
AD Califum!
AD Califum is Latin.
I still don't know
the meaning of that phrase.
All those years at St. Christopher's
I lived like a zombie,
like a sleepwalker,
Forever dreaming
of an awakening,
waiting for an unpredictable event
that would set me free
and let me be myself at last.
several flights of stairs
to a room where I would
eventually be greeted
by the headmaster
of St. Christopher's School for Boys.
Oh, yes. My name is Abel.
Unh! Unh! Uhh!
Unh!
My only friend was Nestor.
Nestor protected me
whenever he could.
His father being the school janitor,
Nestor enjoyed incredible privileges,
such as having a bicycle.
Nestor had keys
to all the rooms in our school,
and at night,
he took me to a whole other world.
Start reading when they get to Canada.
"Slowly, they passed
the great lakes
"called Reindeer,
Slave, and Bear.
"The big caribou
entered the clearing
"as the Indian had predicted.
"The wind had not carried
the two men's scent to him.
Very slowly, the Dutchman
raised his Winchester while"...
He's not going to kill the caribou, is he?
He has to. They have to eat.
Go on.
"Very slowly, the Dutchman
raised his Winchester,
while the Indians seemed
to stop breathing. "
In Canada, we'll catch foxes, seals,
Maybe even bears in huge snares.
Within 3 years,
you can make a fortune out there.
If you're well organized.
Can you give me a hand?
Sure. Lean over.
Amen.
Amen.
You need to fill it up.
Abel! AD Califum!
AD Califum maximum!
I wish you could make
this school burn down.
And burn down
to the ground. Please.
OK, let's give it a try.
Get the fire hose!
Aah!
Aah!
That day... I understood
that fate was real, that she was cruel,
and that she was on my side.
I would be protected, saved,
and guided,
While others would be harshly, savagely,
tossed into the void.
Today, I live simply, quietly,
like an ordinary man.
A small business, an apartment,
a mistress.
I confide my secrets to no one.
How come my car isn't ready?
You promised.
In fact, I hardly speak to people.
I'm running some tests.
Mm-hmm.
It's an accident!
Can't you see?
Did you get badly hurt?
I don't think so.
Did you... did you fall?
Yes.
Where are you taking her?
Martine!
I fell down.
You've got dirt all over her.
Look at your dress.
Come.
All I'd wanted to do was to help,
but somehow I always
inspire fear in people.
Very good. Now, 1... 2... 3.
Hey, you'll ruin my picture.
Martine, isn't
Not today.
Now look up here.
Ok, now stand very straight.
What about me?
Will you take my picture?
Sure. One second.
Very good. Thank you.
Yes.
Now... now sit down,
sit on the bumper. Yes.
Now sit back a bit.
A little more to the right. Yes.
Ok, now cross your legs,
like a real lady.
Good.
All right. Good.
Now close your eyes.
Good.
Shall I take you home?
Is this yours?
Sure. I have a dozen.
You'll have to tell me where to go.
What's your name?
Abel.
That's a funny name.
It comes from the Bible.
Abel was a shepherd, a nomad.
Do you have any children?
No, no family.
No parents?
No. I was found in the street.
And the moment I was born,
When I was your age,
I had a friend.
But... he died in a fire.
A fire?
In school.
I was about to be punished,
and I didn't want to be punished.
So I made a wish,
and the wish came true.
So you killed your friend?
No. He was the only
one who liked me.
You must be sad about it.
Maybe. Sometimes I'm sad,
and sometimes I'm happy.
I can't say why.
Maybe it's because
half of my body
is made of stone.
Really?
You're kidding.
No, I'm not.
That's why I can be very nice,
But very cold, too.
People don't know that.
It's a secret.
But someday, they will know.
Hey.
Abel.
It's the 30th.
It is?
Rachel is not my wife.
But she is the feminine element
in my life.
Once a month
She comes into my particular universe,
to keep my books in order.
Which one are you?
I wouldn't have recognized you.
Oh, you were so thin then.
You've certainly made up for it, hmm?
Were you good in class?
I bet you weren't.
I was always top of the class.
Do you want to take my picture?
No, no!
No!
Rachel is the one
"You're not a lover," she said.
"You're an ogre. "
No, no!
No!
Look at...
I can't stand this.
You're a monster.
You can't do this to me.
I'm more delicate than that.
Sorry.
Careful.
Abel?
Are you going to
drive me home again?
Oh, am I your chauffeur?
Grahh!
What is it?
Look at it.
Start reading when they get to Canada.
"If one puts a canoe
"in the lower A-A-A... "
Athabasca.
"If one puts a canoe
in the lower Athabasca
"and travels northward
to Great Slave,
And thence up the Mackenzie... "
Sorry. I don't like it.
Can I borrow your camera
for a minute?
No! No, no.
Why not?
Because I said so.
Why not?
Frankly, I'm afraid you'll break it.
I won't break it!
And I'd like to have my pictures...
Martine! Careful!
We could have an accident!
Stop it. Don't do that.
