The Taste of Others Page #2

Synopsis: Three men, three women, opposites, possibilities, and tastes. Castella owns a industrial steel barrel plant in Rouen; Bruno is his flute-playing driver, Franck is his temporary bodyguard while he negotiates a contract with Iranians, his wife Angélique does frou-frou interior decorating and loves her dog. The conventional Castella hires a forty-year-old actress, Clara, to tutor him in English, and he finds her and her Bohemian lifestyle fascinating. Is this love? What would she say if he declared himself? Through Bruno, Franck meets Manie, a barmaid who deals hash. They begin an affair. Are they in love? They joke about marriage. As the women hold back, the men must make decisions.

Is this dog neurotic, or what?

- It's your dog? | - No need to be rude.

- Yes, it's my dog. | - Muzzle him.

He's dangerous. | The little sh*t got me!

- He bit him. | - What did you do?

What did I do? I was walking. | He doesn't like people walking?

There must be a reason. | Something must have happened.

I didn't do a thing! | Enough already!

Could you stop screaming? | It's very upsetting.

- Keep calm. | - I'll bite your calf...

and see if you keep calm.

That's enough! Excuse him, | excuse him, end of story.

I asked him to keep calm...

and he threatened | to bite me...

to see if I keep calm.

What a disagreeable | and aggressive fellow.

I thought he deserved it. | He was not a nice man.

Listen, you'll have to do | something. He bites a lot.

Yes, but, you know, | it's always with reason.

When he's bothered | or when people are mean.

- Dogs can feel that. | - Yes, that's true.

These seats are hell!

You want to have a bite? | Then we congratulate her.

No, Jean-Jacques!

That wouldn't be nice. | We're here now.

Some guy, | armed to the teeth, says...

"You move, you're dead". | What do you do?

I don't move.

- You do like everyone else? | - There's nothing else to do.

I try to stay alive.

She looks like my fiance, | that girl, something in her...

You have a fiance? | I haven't met her.

She's not here.

She's doing an internship | in the U. S.

- When will she get back? | - In four months.

You're patient.

I'm in love.

That helps.

I wanted to ask you something.

Have you ever killed someone?

Here, let us pause.

The splendor of these halls | is new to your eyes, Arsaces.

Oft to this chamber, | stately and withdrawn...

Titus often unburdens | his most secret thoughts.

Sh*t! They're speaking | in rhymes!

Here it is sometimes, | stealing from his Court...

he comes to whisper...

Those costumes are ugly.

This door gives access | to his private chamber...

and this other entrance | leads into the Queen's.

Go to her...

Tell her, loathe | to intrude on her...

I dare to ask her | for a private talk.

Yes.

Yes, this must be painful. | That's fine.

Aah! Aah!

You destroyed my larynx.

You're crazy. It hurts.

- What are you thinking about? | - I'm not thinking. I'm bored.

You looked like | you were thinking.

Castella is OK, but this job | is a f***ing bore.

Can you buy me some cigarettes? | I can't move.

That's convenient, isn't it? | "I can't move".

- What kind do you smoke? | - I don't care.

Thank you.

He won't be here all night? | It's going to be hot. Thursday?

Yes. It would be nice | if you could do the closing.

I don't know. I'll have to see.

- There's someone at the bar. | - Oh, yes.
