[woman] With the more sophisticated

cosmological... a' Nothing a'

[woman]

Water appears as ocean

Stop trying to pity me.

Don't dominate me.

I've never tried to dominate you.

I want you to rest.

You'll help me more by resting.

Don't explain. I understand.

Yes, I will explain.

You started it when you started

talking about that man.

You think I couldn't see

what you were driving at?

- Mario!

-[sighs]

If the milkman says indecent things to me,

he does to you too.

But you love mingling.

You'd better see whether everything...

You'd better see whether

everything is in order.

As monsieur says,

he's always finding the maid's hairs

on the pinks of the roses.

You love mingling.

[chuckles]

So it's not enough...

not enough to be raped by a milkman

who goes blithely through our garrets.

Besides, we haven't got time

to start a scene now.

But it's my turn to dominate you.

[murmuring]

It's been terrible under that guy.

There's water here,

and he won't tell us where it is.

We tried everything.

- I think we should call a court.

-[man] A court!

Come over here.

We're gonna have a meeting.

Gonna have a meeting!

[chairs clattering]

[man] Everything in order.

[man] How can we ever possibly

exist here without water?

[man 2] Without water.

[man 1] We know that there's water here.

[man 2] We want this water.

[man 1] Why don't we

put this guy up on trial...

Ohh!

...and find if there's water?

Mm-hmm.

Look, we've got to have water.

- In order to try this guy...

- Guilty.

...there's got to be a legal court.

We need a real court.

- Yeah.

- Uh-huh.

But we can all be the judge.

Who's going to ask him to come here?

[water running]

[loud banging]

[man] Court is in session!

Ah! Ah. Come on.

- Prepare the indictment.

- The defense.

- Who's going to apply the handwrit?

- What's that?

The handwrit.

Case for the accused.

Who's preparing the case for the accused?

Im thirsty!

Cross-examination.

- Cross-examination!

- Cross-examination!

- Stand! Stand for it.

-[man chattering]

He talks, she talks, he talks.

[banging on table]

Jean must decide.

[woman] He cannot be judged.

He's crazy.
