Un Homme et Une Femme Page #3

---

A flash from the news...

...that illustrates the weather

has just come in.

A man and a woman were killed

earlier today...

...when their sports car

skidded off the road.

I hate hearing that.

Especially when driving.

Do I drive badly?

No. You drive normally.

Now, let's change our mood

and listen to some light music.

Here's one you all know.

You haven't told me what you do.

I've got a job that's...

That's very unusual.

Very original.

Which makes loads of money.

Shame on you!

And apart from that?

I've got a good front.

I'm in the motor business.

I'm a test driver.

- A racing driver?

- Yes.

I think you soaked those people.

They're hunters.

No mercy on hunters!

She started to cough on Friday.

Nothing serious, but keep her warm.

There! There you are.

You're not cold, darling. You're okay.

Bye.

- I'm not surprised.

- What?

I'm not surprised.

I didn't see you on the 9:00 train.

Well, thank you. Goodbye.

Come on.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

Bye, madame.

Are you happy?

Tell me some more about your job.

- My job?

- Not about yours.

Antoine, talk about my job.

- What?

- Don't you want to?

No, but I'll tell you all about

my job.

Go on, then.

The job I'll have when I'm big...

- Tell us.

- I want to be a fireman.

There'll be 36 firemen with me.

Thirty-six?

But with me, it will make 37.

- You'll be the chief.

- Yes.

You know what? We'll have two big

fire engines with big ladders.

Very big.

The two fire engines will be huge

for the big fires.

What will you do about small fires?

What about small fires?

We won't need the ladder.

That's all.

And we won't use much water.

If it's locked,

we'll take the axes and...

Well, we'll use them to hit

and that's it.

And then we use a little water.

That's it.

Tell me about your job.

My work is largely technical. It bores

women to talk about technicalities.

But I can tell you some trivia.

It wouldn't bore me.

Take superstition, for example.

We racing drivers are superstitious.

No car has number 13.

Really?

No car ever...

No car ever bears number 13.

Another number is 17,

many accidents for that one.

In Italy, for example,

there's never 17.

The Italians are very superstitious.

Have you ever heard of Ascari?

- I think so.

- Yes?

He was a driver, one of the best.

He died a few years ago.

Yes, I see now.

If Ascari saw a black cat on the track

or on the side of the track...

...he'd stop.

Antoine, your napkin.

Maybe they should eat, they're hungry.

Here.

I don't like shrimps.

- You don't like shrimps?

- No.

Franoise, do you like shrimps?

No?

How come?

Last week you ate some.

Do you want tomatoes?

Do you like tomatoes?

- I'm not hungry.
