00:02:06The End
00:02:30Oh, excuse me.
00:02:34Are you from the landlayer?
00:02:37The new chamber made?
00:02:38Let me see your references.
00:03:03Let me see your hands.
00:03:04Let me see your hands.
00:03:11You're the scullery maid?
00:03:17There's a train returning to Paris in 20 minutes. Take it.
00:03:20But I haven't the money to get back to Paris.
00:03:23It's your business. Decides a girl with your looks. It's a little bit too much.
00:03:28I'm sorry, sir, but it's not my fault. It's not my fault. I'll work for less, sir. I'll do anything.
00:03:36What else can I do?
00:03:38Come on, you. Come on. Come on, you. Just a moment. Are you Mr. Landlayer?
00:03:43I run the landlayer establishment. I know what you are. You're the valet. Am I right?
00:03:49I am the valet, amongst other things.
00:03:51Nonsense. You're the valet, and that's all. And don't put on airs with me.
00:03:55And you can just go and tell your master or mistress or whoever it is that you work for
00:03:58that because you didn't like the scullery maid that the chamber maid's quitting, too.
00:04:03That's all. You may go.
00:04:08Oh, you shouldn't have done it for me. I didn't.
00:04:12My, but you're brave. I wish I was brave like that.
00:04:16I wish I were, too. I've never talked like that before in my life.
00:04:19And stop crying, stupid. We can cry all the way back to Paris.
00:04:23Wait a minute. I changed my mind. Get in, both of you.
00:04:29Both of us? Oh, my.
00:04:33Oh, get my thing.
00:04:34Oh, my God.
00:04:34Oh, my God.
00:04:37Oh, my God.
00:04:40He must be a very important man.
00:04:43He's a valet.
00:04:44Here, let me help.
00:04:45No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
00:04:47no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:04:53What's your name?
00:04:54Louise.
00:04:56And what's yours?
00:04:57Joseph.
00:04:58My name's Celestine, in case anybody's interested.
00:05:01I see.
00:05:05Are you sure he's only a valet?
00:05:07He's an undertaker.
00:05:09Listen, what I know about valets would fill my diary.
00:05:32Mom.
00:05:32Come on.
00:05:32Come on.
00:05:33Let's go.
00:05:36Come on.
00:05:38Come on.
00:06:00Here's the Jaro.
00:06:01Come on.
00:06:02Come on.
00:06:04For both of us?
00:06:05Yes.
00:06:07There's only one bed.
00:06:08Oh, that's all right. I'll sleep over there on the floor.
00:06:11Stop shrugging.
00:06:12Bring another bed.
00:06:20You see?
00:06:22I don't ever want to see you shrug your shoulders again.
00:06:24Believe me, it doesn't work.
00:06:25You'll never do it.
00:06:27It's what I've done all my life.
00:06:31Do this. Do that. Bring me this. Bring me that.
00:06:34You eat too much sugar. Are you clean?
00:06:37I'm sick of it.
00:06:38Yes.
00:06:41You don't know it, but you changed my whole life.
00:06:43When I saw the way you acted at the station,
00:06:45I understood what was wrong with me.
00:06:48All of a sudden, I understood.
00:06:52Life is life.
00:06:54From now on, I'm going to fight, and I'm going to fight hard,
00:06:56and I don't care who gets hurt just so it's not me.
00:06:57Yes.
00:06:59And I'll tell you something else.
00:07:00I'm not going to be a chambermaid any longer.
00:07:02No, I'm not.
00:07:04I'm going to be a mistress and have a house of my own.
00:07:07Oh, excuse me.
00:07:13And I'm going to grab the first man I meet to get where I'm going.
00:07:16Yes, I am. The very first man.
00:07:18I don't care if he's handsome or ugly or young or old.
00:07:21Just so he's got money. That's the main thing, money.
00:07:23Yes.
00:07:28They've always hurt me.
00:07:30So from now on, I swear to you, I'm going to use them.
00:07:34No more love for Celestine.
00:07:37I'm going to write that down so I'll never, never forget it.
00:07:54I hope you like to work. There's plenty of it here.
00:07:57Hard work keeps you out of mischief.
00:07:59What kind of mischief could you get into?
00:08:00Having six or seven gentlemen friends after me all at the same time fighting over me.
00:08:05That's enough mischief for anybody, isn't it?
00:08:08Clean the sink. That'll keep you busy for a while.
00:08:11Eggs.
00:08:18New?
00:08:19Yes.
00:08:21Are you from the village?
00:08:22Do you have a good time there?
00:08:25You'll be seeing us the first afternoon we have off.
00:08:28What's your name?
00:08:30His name's Pierre.
00:08:32Run along now, we're busy.
00:08:37He's nice.
00:08:38Where's the other one?
00:08:39Celestine, she's coming.
00:08:41She get into mischief too?
00:08:43She's my closest friend.
00:08:45We get into mischief together.
00:08:48Oh, Mr. Lolaire.
00:08:50Did you have a good hunt, sir?
00:08:52I never have a good hunt.
00:08:53I don't like to kill. I never carry cartridges.
00:08:58There's a good dog.
00:09:00I hunt to walk.
00:09:01To get away from this house.
00:09:03I have them hidden for you, Mr. Lolaire.
00:09:06Hot.
00:09:11Hey, is it good?
00:09:12Good.
00:09:15We're on the roadway.
00:09:20Would you like a nice bottle of cold cider to wash it down?
00:09:32I'm Celestine, the new maid.
00:09:34What's that you're eating?
00:09:35I'm starving.
00:09:36Will you give me some?
00:09:39What do you do around here?
00:09:40I know.
00:09:41You're the gardener.
00:09:43Mine are hot.
00:09:45Say, what's this place like to work in?
00:09:47If I knew another one, I'd go to it.
00:09:48They let you wear a beard.
00:09:50That's about all.
00:09:51That Joseph's kind of bossy, isn't he?
00:09:53Well, he's not going to boss me around.
00:09:55I'll tell you that.
00:09:56That's the spirit.
00:09:56Nobody else is going to boss me around either.
00:09:58I found out it pays to be very tough.
00:10:00Well, that may be all right for you,
00:10:02but I don't know if you'll go with me.
00:10:04Well, you just stick with me,
00:10:05and you'll be on the right track.
00:10:06We'll put the masters in their places.
00:10:13Sit down.
00:10:14Huh?
00:10:14Sure.
00:10:17Charles, what are you doing in the kitchen?
00:10:19I'm sorry, my dear.
00:10:25Marianne, this is the last time I've warned you
00:10:27not to feed Mr. Lanley between meals.
00:10:30You're the new scullery maid.
00:10:32Yes, madam.
00:10:33Your name?
00:10:34Louise, madam.
00:10:35That's very proper.
00:10:41And you're the chambermaid.
00:10:42Yes, madam.
00:10:43Your name, please.
00:10:44Celestine.
00:10:46That's too complicated.
00:10:47I'll call you Marie.
00:10:48Yes, ma...
00:10:51I prefer to be called by my own name, madam.
00:10:54Very interesting.
00:10:55Turn around, please.
00:10:57Turn around?
00:10:58That's what I said.
00:11:03Yes, I like your figure.
00:11:04We'll modify your clothes.
00:11:06Joseph, they'll help with the dinner tonight
00:11:08and retire immediately afterwards.
00:11:10They will arise at 5 o'clock in the morning
00:11:11and begin their duties.
00:11:13Now come to my room.
00:11:13I want to talk to you.
00:12:03That's what I was going to tell you.
00:12:03I am.
00:12:03Yeah, I love you.
00:12:03and see you in your room.
00:12:03It's excellent!
00:12:03Go out!
00:12:03How wonderful!
00:12:04I love you, Miss...
00:12:04I love you!
00:12:04I love you.
00:12:04You never put yet.
00:12:05I love you.
00:12:11Why me.
00:12:33Oh, my God.
00:12:44Okay.
00:13:02I'm gonna go.
00:13:02Joseph, who lives in these rooms here?
00:13:04It's of no interest to you for the moment.
00:13:06I'll find out.
00:13:07You're not the only source of information in this house.
00:13:11Is it haunted or something?
00:13:13No, but it will be.
00:13:14Oh.
00:13:16If you want to see something worthwhile, come with me.
00:13:19Now?
00:13:20Now.
00:13:34Aside from Madame, I am the only one who has the keys to this vault.
00:13:45Upstairs is haunted.
00:13:46What's this, a torture chamber?
00:13:49Oh, my goodness.
00:13:52This must be worth a million.
00:13:54Worth more than the chateau and the grounds put together.
00:13:57They are antiques, symbols of aristocracy.
00:14:00They use them every day.
00:14:01Only once a year, on the midnight of July 14th.
00:14:04To celebrate our freedom.
00:14:06In this family, July 14th means the day of France's doom.
00:14:09This is gold.
00:14:11Don't they like the Republic?
00:14:12No, neither do I.
00:14:14The Republic was created for weaklings.
00:14:17I see, I see.
00:14:19Oh, look at this one.
00:14:21It's lovely.
00:14:23Oh, it's got rubies and diamonds on it.
00:14:25It's a snuff box.
00:14:27It's very valuable.
00:14:29Do you think they'd miss it?
00:14:30Now go back to work.
00:14:32Ah.
00:14:34Ah.
00:15:02Ah.
00:15:02Ah.
00:15:02Ah.
00:15:02Ah.
00:15:03Ah.
00:15:04Ah.
00:15:04Ah.
00:15:04Ah.
00:15:04Ah.
00:15:04Ah.
00:15:06Ah.
00:15:09Ah.
00:15:09I'm sorry about yesterday.
00:15:11I should have known you were the master.
00:15:13Forgive me, please, and thank you so much for being nice.
00:15:16Don't go.
00:15:17You know you're a very pretty girl, very pretty.
00:15:21I hope you'll like to see her.
00:15:23With your help, I'll try, sir.
00:15:25Of course, it isn't like Paris, is it?
00:15:27It's quite different.
00:15:28I bet you had a gay time in Paris, didn't you?
00:15:31Mr. Landlare, really?
00:15:33I'd like to bring a little of Paris here.
00:15:36I'd like a gay time myself.
00:15:39Perhaps we could go together to Paris sometime, couldn't we?
00:15:44You're just like all the other gentlemen.
00:15:46And I so thought that you'd be different.
00:15:48Celestine, please, don't be angry.
00:15:50Will you do me the favor to buy yourself a little gift
00:15:56as a token of my esteem, eh, ma'am?
00:16:00Will you accept this, Frank?
00:16:04You're sweet, sir, but I can't take your money.
00:16:07I'd rather have some sort of remembrance.
00:16:10Something that belongs to you, like an old snuff box, maybe.
00:16:13An old snuff box, like the...
00:16:14Yes, something I could feel had been close to you.
00:16:16The one with the rubies and the diamonds.
00:16:18Yes!
00:16:19Oh, for heaven's sake!
00:16:21Mojie!
00:16:23Mojie, you're making my class again!
00:16:27One, two, three!
00:16:30Mojie, I'll kill you!
00:16:36Mojie!
00:16:40Mojie!
00:16:43Come out, you guys!
00:16:45Come out, I tell you!
00:16:48Mojie, you mosquito, where are you?
00:16:52Mojie, you mosquito, where are you?
00:16:59Mojie, you mosquito, where are you?
00:17:07I'll get my gun.
00:17:17Excuse me.
00:17:17Oh, and Herb.
00:17:19Captain, I'm your neighbor.
00:17:20I live right over there.
00:17:21I'm an old soldier, as if ready to serve a pretty woman,
00:17:23as I was to serve my country.
00:17:24Well, Captain, if it isn't asking too much,
00:17:27why are you breaking our glass?
00:17:28Hmm?
00:17:29Tactics, my dear young lady, to get land layer away,
00:17:31so I could talk to you.
00:17:32Couldn't you talk to me if you were here?
00:17:34No, no.
00:17:34We're enemies.
00:17:35Bitter enemies, the land layers of me.
00:17:36We're their reactionaries, and I'm a liberal.
00:17:38They criticize me publicly for eating at the same table with Rose.
00:17:41She's my servant.
00:17:42There's nothing wrong with eating with Rose.
00:17:44I told them that.
00:17:44Well, I should say not.
00:17:45Yes, I told them.
00:17:47Excuse me.
00:17:49These.
00:17:50Oh, Brad and Jane.
00:17:51Delicious.
00:17:52Delicious.
00:17:53Well, why do you eat them?
00:17:54I eat everything.
00:17:55I've eaten every kind of flower in this garden.
00:17:58Some of these are very delicious.
00:18:01Some of them don't amount to so much.
00:18:04These are very bad.
00:18:05Well, that's very interesting,
00:18:06but here comes Mr. Land Lair with a shotgun.
00:18:09No, I'm no coward.
00:18:10My diet proves that.
00:18:11You know, I'm famous.
00:18:13Famous over the entire distance.
00:18:15I'm afraid of nothing.
00:18:17When anybody...
00:18:17Oh, I'm talking to you.
00:18:19When anybody dead or alive, no matter what it is, you see,
00:18:21the first thing they do is to bring it to me and fight.
00:18:25I eat it.
00:18:27You see?
00:18:27You never see.
00:18:28My roses.
00:18:31No.
00:18:33No!
00:18:33No!
00:18:35No!
00:18:35No!
00:18:38No!
00:18:41No!
00:18:44No!
00:18:51I never want to
00:18:52let my baby alone.
00:18:53You great bait bully!
00:18:54Your baby?
00:18:55You!
00:18:55Your baby eats my roger!
00:18:56Why is his fingers here?
00:18:57Heart.
00:18:57It's on my cabrão!
00:18:58Because you want to carry your...
00:18:59Hurry up!
00:19:01Go away!
00:19:01My baby!
00:19:02What is this...
00:19:03Let's go.
00:19:10Let's go.
00:19:15Ordinarily, we never enter these rooms.
00:19:18However, since they may be occupied very shortly, we're going to clean them thoroughly today.
00:19:23Joseph, open the door, please.
00:19:35Louise, shine those shoes.
00:19:37Celestine, take those clothes and brush them carefully.
00:19:39I do hope the moths haven't got into them.
00:19:41Now, Joseph, come with me.
00:19:43I'll pick out the curtains you are to hang.
00:20:16I was thinking of you last night and today.
00:20:19I've been thinking of you too, sir.
00:20:21You know, that snuff box.
00:20:23Oh, there's no hurry.
00:20:23You must forget that I even mentioned it.
00:20:25Not at all.
00:20:26It's just that it takes time, that's all.
00:20:28Oh, well, Celestine, are you getting accustomed to the place?
00:20:33I'm getting to like it very much indeed.
00:20:35Good.
00:20:35Well, you must excuse me.
00:20:38Joseph.
00:20:40Who do all those things belong to?
00:20:42What's the mystery?
00:20:43You'll find out in time.
00:20:45Don't be so curious.
00:20:46I don't know why I expected you to tell me anything.
00:20:50I'll tell you one thing.
00:20:51The master has nothing in his own name except his birth certificate.
00:20:55Not even a snuff box.
00:20:57You know an awful lot about me, don't you?
00:20:59Don't you?
00:21:00Yes.
00:21:01You'll learn I'm your friend.
00:21:02I doubt that.
00:21:10I was saying, when we were interrupted.
00:21:12I'm sorry, sir, but I have to do my work.
00:21:15I'm making plans about that snuff box.
00:21:19I think madame works you too hard.
00:21:21Perhaps you will insist that madame will give me more time off
00:21:24so that you and I can go to Paris together.
00:21:26Have I done something wrong, Celestine?
00:21:27Well, not at all.
00:21:28Not at all.
00:21:29Oh, look in there!
00:21:31Land there!
00:21:32Come out!
00:21:33Come out wherever you are!
00:21:35Come out of your house and fight!
00:21:37Are you going to let him talk to you like that?
00:21:38Aren't you going to accept his challenge?
00:21:40Accept his challenge?
00:21:42Certainly I will!
00:21:43Certainly!
00:21:44Mosier!
00:21:44Wait for me!
00:21:45Serpentory!
00:21:48Aha!
00:21:49That's it!
00:21:50That's what you always do!
00:21:51Well, that settles that.
00:21:53Why?
00:21:54He hasn't got a scent.
00:21:56Oh, now what are you going to do?
00:22:06After all, the captain's not so bad.
00:22:09Celestine!
00:22:10Come over to my house!
00:22:12Come over and visit a man!
00:22:18Come over!
00:22:21Come over!
00:22:21Come over!
00:22:22Now hurry up!
00:22:23Hurry up!
00:22:24Yes, captain!
00:22:25You take too long.
00:22:28You'll never learn how to fix absence.
00:22:30I don't want to learn!
00:22:31It's bad for you!
00:22:32Celestine, quiet!
00:22:32Hurry up!
00:22:33Captain!
00:22:35You!
00:22:36Captain!
00:22:37Celestine!
00:22:40Celestine!
00:22:41Celestine!
00:22:42You asked me to come to visit you, captain!
00:22:44I certainly did!
00:22:44I certainly did!
00:22:44I certainly did!
00:22:45My!
00:22:45What a distinguished-looking estate you have!
00:22:48Distinguished?
00:22:48You think so?
00:22:49Definitely!
00:22:50But then you're a very distinguished type yourself!
00:22:52That's right!
00:22:52See the roses!
00:22:54I thought you might have eaten them all by now!
00:22:56No, wait!
00:22:58I switched to water, Lily!
00:23:00Oh!
00:23:02Those fascinating things you eat!
00:23:04That's right!
00:23:04You know, it's thrilling to meet a man of the world like you in this dull countryside!
00:23:09No, I'm just an old village bumpkin!
00:23:11Oh!
00:23:11Don't you believe him?
00:23:12No false modesty, captain!
00:23:15He's my baby boy Celestine!
00:23:16Quiet, quiet!
00:23:17Would you like a drink?
00:23:18No, thank you!
00:23:18I would!
00:23:19Not too much, captain!
00:23:20You run along and start dinner!
00:23:22Very well, baby!
00:23:23I will!
00:23:24I get on my baby's nerves lately!
00:23:25It's my asthma!
00:23:27But he couldn't get along without his mommy!
00:23:28Could you, captain?
00:23:30You run along, I said!
00:23:31Very well, I'll go!
00:23:32But don't you get into any mischief!
00:23:33No mischief!
00:23:34No mischief!
00:23:35No mischief!
00:23:36Don't get into mischief!
00:23:37No mischief!
00:23:39Listen to a puff puff like a locomotive!
00:23:41What were we talking about?
00:23:41Your diet!
00:23:42That's right!
00:23:43Sit down!
00:23:43Let me explain!
00:23:45Now, everybody in the world except me gets into a rut about food!
00:23:49They have no pioneering spirit!
00:23:51Probably the first man who ate an oyster!
00:23:53People called him crazy or eccentric!
00:23:54That's right!
00:23:55That's right!
00:23:55Now, the same with me!
00:23:57By my boldness, I've discovered new foods that nobody ever heard of before!
00:24:00I'm willing to eat absolutely anything!
00:24:02Keeps me young and vigorous!
00:24:04You know, if you were in Paris, they'd write a book about you!
00:24:07You'd be a celebrity!
00:24:08No, I was in Paris.
00:24:09Nobody wrote about it!
00:24:10Oh, you just didn't know the right authors!
00:24:12Now, tell me more!
00:24:14Do you eat stones, too?
00:24:15No, stones have no taste!
00:24:17You don't get the idea!
00:24:18Come here, let me show you!
00:24:19Come here!
00:24:20I'll show you what I do with stones!
00:24:22Watch this!
00:24:22See that?
00:24:23Now, listen!
00:24:26See what I do with stones!
00:24:27You're the cleverest man I ever saw!
00:24:29I've had a good time, anyway!
00:24:33There!
00:24:34Oh, now!
00:24:35Now, I'll show you something else!
00:24:37This is Clay Bear!
00:24:39Let's get it there, Clay Bear!
00:24:41General Clay Bear!
00:24:43He's the best friend I have in the world!
00:24:45Darling!
00:24:46He looks like you!
00:24:47Thank you!
00:24:48Does he eat everything, too?
00:24:49He doesn't eat as many things as I do!
00:24:51Nice little Clay Bear!
00:24:52The landlayers haven't got anything like you!
00:24:54All they have is dogs!
00:24:55Anybody can have dogs but a tame squirrel!
00:24:57What do you think of that?
00:24:58Well, I think you're amazing!
00:25:00Look, miss, it tears my heart to see you working for those crazy people next door!
00:25:04Oh, they're maniacs!
00:25:05All of them!
00:25:05And the sun!
00:25:05Have you seen him yet?
00:25:06No!
00:25:07Tell me about it!
00:25:07Well, he's a monster!
00:25:09A monster!
00:25:09He's got two heads and a tail!
00:25:11I wouldn't even eat him!
00:25:13I'll get to the point like an old soldier!
00:25:15Come over with me in a nice, sane household!
00:25:17You could have everything you want and no work!
00:25:19Rose would do it all!
00:25:20Would you give me Clay Bear?
00:25:21Certainly!
00:25:22He's the dearest thing I have!
00:25:23I'll give him to him!
00:25:23And what else?
00:25:24Girls like lots of presents, you know!
00:25:25If you come with me, I'll give you everything!
00:25:27Everything!
00:25:27What do you call everything?
00:25:29My house!
00:25:29My gardens!
00:25:30People would talk!
00:25:31Well, you let him!
00:25:32We'll get married!
00:25:33How's that for an idea?
00:25:33It's an idea, but I'll bet you're married already!
00:25:35No!
00:25:36You'll be the first one!
00:25:37And he'll tell you something else!
00:25:39Upstairs in my room, I have hidden away 25,000 francs!
00:25:4125,000 francs?
00:25:41Yes!
00:25:42Now, nobody knows about it!
00:25:42Not even Rose!
00:25:43How's that for a present?
00:25:44You'd give it to me?
00:25:45Yes, I would!
00:25:46I'd give it to you!
00:25:47I'd give it to you!
00:25:48I'd give it to you!
00:25:49Stop it!
00:25:50Stop it!
00:25:51You're crushing him!
00:25:52Clay Bear!
00:25:55Clay Bear!
00:26:07You did that!
00:26:07I saw you!
00:26:08Now, go back where you belong!
00:26:11Come, baby!
00:26:13Come!
00:26:15Come, baby!
00:26:29What did you do here?
00:26:39I bet you'd like to see things killed.
00:26:42Not without a purpose.
00:26:45An orderly woman shouldn't become involved with a man like the captain.
00:26:49What can he offer you?
00:26:5025,000 francs. 25,000 francs! That's what he can offer me!
00:26:5525,000 francs?
00:26:56Yes!
00:26:57All my life I've waited on people and now, now...
00:27:00And now?
00:27:01I'm gonna get what I can.
00:27:02It's up to you.
00:27:04But there are safe methods and unsafe ones.
00:27:07The death of that squirrel should be a warning to you.
00:27:10I don't know what you're talking about.
00:27:12Anyway, I'm not even interested.
00:27:14Someday it will be.
00:27:15And stop spying on me, you rat!
00:27:36I hold it up to you.
00:27:36A telegram for the Long Live.
00:27:39Is it from the sun?
00:27:41Government's secret.
00:27:42Good news or bad?
00:27:44Depends on how you look at it.
00:27:46It's from the sun, all right.
00:28:01The goose is delicious, Marianne. Congratulations.
00:28:05Do you really like it?
00:28:06You have Joseph to thank for that.
00:28:08It's the way he kills them.
00:28:09Hmm?
00:28:10Yes, he sticks a long pin through their heads.
00:28:13In that way, they die very, very slowly,
00:28:15and the blood stays in there.
00:28:17It's what makes the gravy so rich.
00:28:23Oh, my pudding.
00:28:26A wire for Mr. and Madame Laulere.
00:28:30I take it.
00:28:31We didn't see you girls at our village
00:28:34the last couple of weeks.
00:28:36Don't you like us anymore?
00:29:01It's your turn, Madame.
00:29:03George!
00:29:04That's funny, isn't it?
00:29:05We were talking about him.
00:29:10Oh, my prayers have been answered.
00:29:12My prayers have been answered.
00:29:14Celestine, come with me.
00:29:16Oh, my prayers have been answered.
00:29:19Don't! Don't! Don't!
00:29:20Put it down! Put it down!
00:29:23Joseph, meet the train!
00:29:24Marianne, Louise, Charles, do something. Help them.
00:29:28Gather some roses and put on a decent suit.
00:29:30My other suit has a hole in it, dear.
00:29:32All things notice doesn't matter.
00:29:34What happened? What have I done?
00:29:36Nothing. You were fine. Excellent.
00:29:37I told you I wasn't satisfied with your clothes.
00:29:39Now we'll do something about it.
00:29:41Do something?
00:29:42Yes, I'm going to try an experiment. Undress, please.
00:29:45Undress?
00:29:45I said undress. I sent all the way to Paris for this.
00:29:48Here, take it. Now hurry up.
00:29:49It shouldn't take you all day to get out of that thing.
00:29:52Yes.
00:29:52Now slip into that as quickly as possible.
00:29:55It will fit. It will do beautifully.
00:29:57Very proper.
00:29:58Madame.
00:29:58I'll explain.
00:30:00I told you I was expecting a very particular guest.
00:30:03Mr. Longley and myself are not as young as we once were.
00:30:06We find that our friends don't wish to visit us as they used to.
00:30:08No, no, Celestine. The other way.
00:30:10Yes, that's it.
00:30:11Perhaps a fresh face or two in our home.
00:30:13Yours and Louise's.
00:30:13Although Louise's isn't much help, heaven knows.
00:30:16We'll make it a little more gay.
00:30:17So now you understand.
00:30:19Let me see.
00:30:20Ah, very proper.
00:30:21We can take it up with a needle here.
00:30:23We'll try these other dresses later.
00:30:24Madame, I...
00:30:25Oh, I almost forgot.
00:30:26You haven't any proper perfume, have you?
00:30:28No. Well, I...
00:30:28That's good.
00:30:29Cheat perfume is unforgivable.
00:30:31Now let me see.
00:30:32Ah, here's what I was looking for.
00:30:34Now I want you to keep yourself properly centered at all times.
00:30:38But a chambermaid.
00:30:39Is that the best you can do with your hair?
00:30:41I wear it plain for work.
00:30:42That's not proper.
00:30:42Sit down.
00:30:43Now, I want you to copy these.
00:30:46Exactly.
00:30:48And by the time our guest arrives, I'll expect you to have your hair dressed according to these pictures.
00:30:57My darling boy, you're home.
00:31:01Everything we have is for you, George.
00:31:09Father, hello.
00:31:15I see that he never leaves me again.
00:31:17Never.
00:31:29Celestine.
00:31:30Go in.
00:31:31Go in.
00:31:44Good afternoon, sir.
00:31:48Sir.
00:31:49Good afternoon.
00:31:52Madame Lanlaire would like you to enjoy a bottle of Veuve Clicquot 65, sir.
00:31:57Veuve Clicquot?
00:31:58Yes, sir.
00:31:58I've had it.
00:32:00Yes, sir.
00:32:02It's still in the bottle, sir.
00:32:04All right.
00:32:05Go ahead and serve it.
00:32:07Yes, sir.
00:32:12Come here against the light.
00:32:18Your hair's very nice.
00:32:20Where did you come from?
00:32:21Oh, I come from Brittany, sir.
00:32:23I was born in Odierne where it's windy and foggy and rough, but I love it.
00:32:26Well, ever since I was a little girl, I've always...
00:32:29Oh, never mind.
00:32:30Never mind.
00:32:31I've had that story.
00:32:33You've had it?
00:32:33Oh, I beg pardon, sir.
00:32:35Then you don't want the champagne.
00:32:38Yes, I do.
00:32:39Yes, sir.
00:32:40How long have you been around here?
00:32:42Oh, a little over two weeks, sir.
00:32:46I'm sorry, sir.
00:32:49Well, do I get the champagne?
00:32:50Yes, sir.
00:32:57Oh, you have a cold, sir.
00:33:00For about six years.
00:33:02I'm sorry, sir.
00:33:04That's all.
00:33:08Wait.
00:33:09What's your name?
00:33:11My name's Celestine.
00:33:12Not actually Celestine, is it?
00:33:14Yes, it is.
00:33:15Pretty fancy uniform you're wearing.
00:33:17Thank you, sir.
00:33:19It came from Paris.
00:33:20Did you bring it from Paris?
00:33:21Me, sir.
00:33:22Or did my mother?
00:33:24Your mother?
00:33:25Is she your mother?
00:33:27She is.
00:33:33And I'm a scapegoat of the Laner family.
00:33:35Hadn't you heard about me?
00:33:37Oh, Captain Mosier said that you had two heads and a...
00:33:40Well, for heaven's sake.
00:33:43So the captain gave me a black mark, did he?
00:33:46Oh, the captain's talk means nothing, sir.
00:33:48I, uh...
00:33:49I've had it.
00:33:50That's right.
00:33:50Listen to him.
00:33:51You'll wind up eating beetles.
00:33:52Anything more, sir.
00:33:54More than beetles?
00:33:55I mean, anything more for you, sir.
00:33:58Like what, for instance?
00:33:59Well, I could read to you.
00:34:01I read aloud very well.
00:34:02Oh, that would be nice.
00:34:03Here.
00:34:05Wait a moment.
00:34:07Did they tell you to entertain me, too?
00:34:09Right.
00:34:10Never mind.
00:34:11I've had it.
00:34:13Very well, sir.
00:34:33Well, of course.
00:34:53Marie Anne, do you think I'll do?
00:34:55You'll do.
00:34:57Oh, I'm so excited.
00:35:01How good.
00:35:01Sarah, do you know.
00:35:02Mary Anne, do you think I'll do?
00:35:03I want to talk to you.
00:35:07Why are you going?
00:35:08I'm going to the village. It's my day off. Why do you ask?
00:35:11It's not a good plan to be seen with Mr. George.
00:35:14I thought I was brought here to entertain him.
00:35:16Yes, but not in public.
00:35:18Neither Madame nor I would approve of that.
00:35:21Is that all you wanted to tell me?
00:35:23No, but I have patience. I can wait.
00:35:48Hello, Celestine.
00:35:49Hello.
00:35:52Taking a walk?
00:35:53It's my day off.
00:35:54Oh, that's fine. There's someone following you.
00:35:57Oh, Pierre.
00:35:59Where's Louise?
00:35:59She's working today.
00:36:00Oh, Louise and the tree.
00:36:03What are you talking about?
00:36:04He wants to sit with her under the wishing tree.
00:36:06Wishing tree?
00:36:07The story goes that a prince sat there with a shepherdess.
00:36:11And she made a wish and he upland married her.
00:36:14Just like that?
00:36:16So when young people want to get married,
00:36:18they sit there and wish.
00:36:21Does it work?
00:36:23Well, it did with me, blasted.
00:36:26Oh, good day, sir.
00:36:28Good day, sir.
00:36:29Hello, Celestine.
00:36:30Hello, Mr. George.
00:36:31I want you to meet my friends, the postman and Pierre.
00:36:35Please, to Nellium.
00:36:36Say something.
00:36:37I'm...
00:36:37Tell me.
00:36:40He says he used to see you go by in the carriage.
00:36:43I used to see him playing in the field.
00:36:45I remember the day you were born.
00:36:47Your father let me peek in at you.
00:36:49Well, I'm glad we've met formally a lot.
00:36:51Well, goodbye, Celestine.
00:36:52Bye.
00:36:53Goodbye, and come back often, sir.
00:36:55I will.
00:36:56Goodbye, Celestine.
00:36:57Goodbye.
00:36:58Goodbye.
00:36:58Goodbye.
00:37:00Goodbye.
00:37:00Goodbye.
00:37:01Bye.
00:37:03I hope you didn't mind meeting my friends, sir.
00:37:06You know, I wanted to meet them before.
00:37:07I never knew how to go about it.
00:37:08Thanks to you, it was quite simple.
00:37:10You've been away so much, and of course...
00:37:12You mean it's the way I was brought up?
00:37:14I didn't mean that.
00:37:16It's so good to see you walking in the sunshine.
00:37:18You... you seem to be getting better every day.
00:37:21I have you to thank for that, too, I suppose.
00:37:23Well, I'll be going along.
00:37:25Mr. George.
00:37:28You know why I came to the village this afternoon?
00:37:31Yes, it's your day off.
00:37:32I overheard you say you were coming here.
00:37:34You eavesdrop, do you?
00:37:36Always.
00:37:37That's very frank of you.
00:37:39You had something to ask me?
00:37:40I wondered if I could go walking with you this afternoon, as usual.
00:37:44Well, as a matter of fact, I was just going somewhere to read.
00:37:46Let me read to you, please.
00:37:48Just one sentence.
00:37:49Um, one sentence?
00:37:50Please.
00:37:51Go ahead.
00:37:55Here.
00:37:56I could a tale unfold
00:37:58Whose lightest word would harrow up thy soul
00:38:01Freeze thy young blood
00:38:03Make thy two eyes like stars
00:38:06Start from their spheres
00:38:07I'll bet you thought I couldn't read.
00:38:10Well, I did.
00:38:11Why do you read such frightening things?
00:38:13Makes me feel better by comparison.
00:38:15I don't think it's good for you.
00:38:16I know a more soothing kind of poetry.
00:38:20I, uh, composed it myself.
00:38:23Go ahead.
00:38:26Little flower how I pine
00:38:28For the secret of your beauty
00:38:29Oh, to keep my hands as soft as thine
00:38:33And still to do my duty
00:38:40Is it so bad?
00:38:42Let's sit under the train.
00:38:48That tree?
00:38:49Exactly.
00:39:04Now, tell me what it means, your poem.
00:39:07It means it's hard to keep your hands as soft as a flower
00:39:11When you work hard
00:39:13Give me your hand
00:39:19Are you making a wish?
00:39:21You know about that.
00:39:23I've heard tell.
00:39:24That's why I brought you here.
00:39:26Are you making a wish?
00:39:28Celestine will be happy
00:39:29With someone someday
00:39:32I'm wishing that you will, too.
00:39:34No, with me, it doesn't matter.
00:39:36Let's walk back to the chateau.
00:39:44Oh, let's do it.
00:39:50Oh, let's do it.
00:40:27Here we go.
00:40:41What's that?
00:40:42Somebody's killing somebody.
00:40:44This is a funny house, isn't it, Celestine?
00:40:46That's just what I was writing in my diary.
00:40:50Not for children.
00:40:52Oh, I'm sorry.
00:40:53But do you write everything in there?
00:40:55Even the unhappy things?
00:40:56I used to, because that's all there ever was to write about.
00:40:59What do you write now?
00:41:00I'm writing about Mr. Landlare and the captain next door.
00:41:05What about Joseph?
00:41:07I'll bet he's got a lot of money hidden away.
00:41:10He's an undertaker.
00:41:12Yes.
00:41:14Who's he mad at?
00:41:17I don't know.
00:41:20This is a place for murder.
00:41:22Celestine, don't talk like that.
00:41:24Maybe it'll be me, Louise.
00:41:27No, no.
00:41:28Maybe it'll be you.
00:41:30No, no.
00:41:32No, no.
00:41:33There's someone behind the door.
00:41:35Open it.
00:41:36No, you open it.
00:41:37I'll open it.
00:41:44It's late.
00:41:46It's late.
00:41:46Madame doesn't approve of the herbs staying up until this hour.
00:41:48It wastes the candles.
00:41:51I'll burn all the candles I want, and you stop sneaking around our door.
00:41:55Don't be afraid of me.
00:41:57You and I are alike.
00:41:59Hmm?
00:42:00Maybe not in looks, but down underneath, we are the same.
00:42:17Celestine, I'd like to make a little speech, a short speech.
00:42:19Will you listen to it?
00:42:19Of course, sir.
00:42:20Even if it were a long one.
00:42:21It's only four words.
00:42:22I'm going away.
00:42:23Oh.
00:42:24I didn't want to hear that kind of a speech.
00:42:26I didn't want to make it.
00:42:27But I can't stay here any longer.
00:42:28Wasn't the service satisfactory, sir?
00:42:30I mean, did we neglect you?
00:42:31No, on the contrary.
00:42:33I appreciate what you've done more than you know.
00:42:35Then why do you go?
00:42:36I've never been so happy before.
00:42:38I don't know, but since I am going away, will you do me a big favor?
00:42:42Sir, of course.
00:42:43Will you call me George?
00:42:45Oh, what will Madame Lanlais say if she hears it?
00:42:49I'd like to hear her.
00:42:50I do.
00:42:58Please, go away.
00:42:59I can't bear people when I feel like this.
00:43:09I'm not people.
00:43:10I'm Celestine.
00:43:11And I'm here to serve you.
00:43:12It's my job, so let me do it.
00:43:20Your fingers are so cool.
00:43:22Are they, George?
00:43:25I'll tell you something I thought of just this moment.
00:43:27I don't know why it popped into my head.
00:43:29Tell me.
00:43:30I thought if I'd met you earlier, I could have waited on you and cared for you and served you.
00:43:35Things would be different than they are now.
00:43:40Why, I think it's the saddest thing I ever heard.
00:43:42I thank you for telling me.
00:43:44I'd like to tell you something, Celestine.
00:43:46It's a sort of farewell.
00:43:48I've come home to what I call a home, beaten and disillusioned and ill.
00:43:53Come to a house I've never loved.
00:43:55To look upon fields I've never enjoyed, debris there that stifles me.
00:43:58It's been less than a homecoming and more of a defeat.
00:44:01Why do you tell me this?
00:44:03Because your name is Celestine.
00:44:05Your hair is gold.
00:44:08Because I'm leaving.
00:44:10Because you're better.
00:44:11I think that's the main reason.
00:44:13I can't understand why.
00:44:15You had money, you went to school, you studied law.
00:44:18Couldn't that have been exciting?
00:44:20It required both energy and ambition.
00:44:21I had neither.
00:44:22I never found the urge to live or die on a big scale.
00:44:26I remember when you first came into my room and I saw your hair.
00:44:29I thought it was the brightest gold I'd ever seen.
00:44:31Madame makes me do it up fancy this way.
00:44:33I don't like it.
00:44:34How do you like it?
00:44:34Just hanging loose on my shoulder.
00:44:36Of course you do.
00:44:37Now let it fall, just for a moment.
00:44:39Celery.
00:44:57I'm sorry.
00:45:05I hadn't meant this.
00:45:07I'd only meant goodbye.
00:45:16How does it feel to be in love?
00:45:18It changes all the time.
00:45:21Now it hurts.
00:45:21It hurts terribly because I don't understand.
00:45:24He almost kissed me and then he ran and locked himself in his room.
00:45:27I think he's mean to go away.
00:45:30Don't say that. He's not mean.
00:45:32He knows what's best better than anybody.
00:45:35I just wish I could see him once again.
00:45:38The greenhouse is no place to say goodbye.
00:45:41I told you he knows what's best.
00:45:44I knew it.
00:45:45Who is it?
00:45:46It is I.
00:45:49I saw your light, Celestine, so I knew that you were awake.
00:45:52I'm very upset.
00:45:54I've heard my son pacing up and down in his room all through the night.
00:45:57I know he's unhappy and ill.
00:46:00I want you to help me.
00:46:03Of course, madame.
00:46:05I think a cup of hot broth might be soothing to him.
00:46:08Would you like to get it?
00:46:09Certainly. I'll put on my uniform.
00:46:11Put my wrapper on.
00:46:13I think he wants to leave us.
00:46:16When he's so ill, I won't have it, I tell you.
00:46:19There.
00:46:26Who is it?
00:46:27It's me, sir. Celestine.
00:46:29What do you want?
00:46:36I've brought you some hot broth, sir.
00:46:39I don't want it. You can take it back.
00:46:44Wait.
00:46:45Put it down.
00:46:55Celestine.
00:46:56Yes, George.
00:47:02Why do you come here this hour of the morning?
00:47:03What's the idea behind it?
00:47:05I was told that you couldn't sleep, sir, so we decided that...
00:47:07You were told? Who told you?
00:47:08I mean, madame told me to...
00:47:09I knew it! I knew it!
00:47:12Come closer.
00:47:14Yes, George.
00:47:16I said goodbye to you today. Do you remember that?
00:47:19Well, didn't I make myself clear?
00:47:21You mean you never wanted to see me again?
00:47:23I meant a lot of things which I'll explain with a proper witness.
00:47:29Come in here.
00:47:31I want to talk to you.
00:47:33George.
00:47:34Mother, inside here a lot of secrets, fears, moods, not one particle of hope. I'm finished.
00:47:38Now, what do you want of me? What are you trying to do?
00:47:41I'm trying to get you to stay with me.
00:47:43I know that.
00:47:44You won't be sorry. I'll take care of you.
00:47:46You'll leave me alone.
00:47:47No, I'll watch over you as I've always done since you were a fragile little boy.
00:47:51Haven't I always protected you, sheltered you?
00:47:54Because you want to possess me as you possessed father and Joseph.
00:47:56George.
00:47:56Yes, and everyone else around here.
00:47:58Oh, you're tired. My son and upset.
00:48:00Whatever I am, will you leave me alone? Is that asking too much?
00:48:02But George...
00:48:03Now that you've won, get out and take your fellow conspirator with you.
00:48:07You don't mean that.
00:48:09Take her out, I said. Keep her out of my sight.
00:48:11I've seen all I want of love.
00:48:14Now, go away.
00:48:18Then you'll stay with me, my darling.
00:48:20You've changed your mind.
00:48:22My mind has nothing to do with it.
00:48:26I've tried to go, but I can't.
00:48:29As much as I want to.
00:48:30You...
00:48:31I haven't the strength to crawl from here to the village.
00:48:34From here to the...
00:48:36To the front gate.
00:48:38Does that satisfy you?
00:48:40Of course you haven't the strength.
00:48:42Please.
00:48:42Get out.
00:48:47Get out.
00:48:48Get out.
00:49:02My poor boy is not himself tonight.
00:49:05But he'll soon be having you wait on him again.
00:49:08No, he won't.
00:49:09What do you think I am?
00:49:11A dog or a cat or an animal or something?
00:49:13That you can send for me one minute and throw me out the next?
00:49:16Really?
00:49:16I hate him.
00:49:18I hate him.
00:49:19I hate him for pretending to be nice to me when all the time he was just like you are.
00:49:22Mean and cruel.
00:49:23Look at you.
00:49:25I'm glad I found out in time that you're both the same.
00:49:28And I hate you too.
00:49:29I don't want to dress like you or look like you or be like you.
00:49:32I can't stand it here anymore.
00:49:34I'm through.
00:49:36I'm through.
00:49:55I'm through.
00:49:55Here you are, Celeste.
00:49:56I'm not taking them.
00:49:58You can have them.
00:49:59But Madame Landlare gave them to you.
00:50:01You can take them all and welcome.
00:50:02I don't ever want to see anything to remind me of this place.
00:50:04Oh, Celeste, they're beautiful.
00:50:08Oh, Louise, stop crying.
00:50:10Here.
00:50:11Now close up my bag.
00:50:14The air in this place stifles me.
00:50:15I want to get out of here as fast as I can.
00:50:19Oh, Louise.
00:50:21Here, help me with this hook.
00:50:23I'll help you with the hook.
00:50:25I'll help you with the hook.
00:50:42I'll help you with the hook.
00:50:42Joseph, I want you to hitch up the carriage and take me to the station.
00:50:46You've been dismissed by Madame?
00:50:48No, I haven't.
00:50:49Where do you want to go?
00:50:50I'm going back to Paris.
00:50:51There's no train until tomorrow morning.
00:50:53I know that.
00:50:54I'm going to wait in the station.
00:50:56Why are you leaving?
00:50:57Because I hate everybody in this house.
00:50:59Everybody?
00:51:00Yes, everybody.
00:51:01I hate them.
00:51:02Joseph, get me out of here, please.
00:51:03Please, get me out of here.
00:51:13Celestine, I'm a patient man and I waited patiently to talk to you.
00:51:17Just a minute.
00:51:20I found a little cafe in Cherbourg.
00:51:22A year ago, I made the down payment.
00:51:24And every month, I paid more money on it.
00:51:26Very soon, I will own it.
00:51:27How interesting.
00:51:28You listen to George.
00:51:29Now listen to me.
00:51:32Sit down here.
00:51:36Do you know Cherbourg?
00:51:38It's an interesting town.
00:51:40It's full of soldiers and sailors.
00:51:42They like a good time.
00:51:43They like to drink.
00:51:44And they like to look at a beautiful woman.
00:51:46With a place like that, I could make a fortune.
00:51:49But I need someone like you to run it with me.
00:51:50Aside from everything else, it's insulting.
00:51:53Insulting?
00:51:54I don't know what you mean.
00:51:55You sit behind the bar and count the money.
00:51:57You laugh and talk with the soldiers.
00:51:59They won't dare to insult you because everybody will know that you're my wife.
00:52:03Yes, Celestine.
00:52:04I'm going to marry you.
00:52:07I want you.
00:52:09I need you.
00:52:10I need you more than you can understand.
00:52:12You're in my brain and in my blood.
00:52:15Joseph, your eyes, they're bad.
00:52:16They frighten me.
00:52:17I'm afraid.
00:52:18You like Mr. George's eyes better, huh?
00:52:20Don't speak to me about him ever.
00:52:21All right.
00:52:22But you and I, Celestine, we are the same.
00:52:24I don't want to be a servant any more than you do.
00:52:26You're a valet and you always will be.
00:52:29No, I won't.
00:52:30I tell you we are like you and I.
00:52:33Maybe the worst of me is like you.
00:52:35I've tried to be good always, ever since I was a little girl.
00:52:40But every time I'd see a new face, a man's face, I'd look into his eyes to see what was
00:52:45behind them.
00:52:46And I never knew until it was too late.
00:52:49Until I'd been terribly, terribly hurt.
00:52:52I'm not trying to hurt you.
00:52:53I, I want to free you.
00:52:55Don't you see?
00:52:55Think of the cafe.
00:52:57You are going to be the mistress.
00:52:58Your own mistress.
00:52:59You, you rule it like a queen.
00:53:03Madame is ringing for something.
00:53:05You better answer.
00:53:06I won't.
00:53:06I won't be humiliated again.
00:53:08A few more days and we'll be free.
00:53:10These people that have humiliated you.
00:53:12Think of your revenge.
00:53:13You ride back here not as a servant but as a mistress.
00:53:17In a carriage with two horses.
00:53:19With four horses.
00:53:20Will Madame Lanler humiliate you then?
00:53:22She'll bow to you and bite her lips with envy.
00:53:26It will never happen.
00:53:28Oh yes, it will.
00:53:29I have a plan.
00:53:31Plans can get you into trouble.
00:53:33Not this one.
00:53:34I tell you I've put too much time and effort into it.
00:53:36You see, for years, for 10 years I had the unpleasant job of working my way into Madame's good graces.
00:53:42Ten years of service.
00:53:45Of devotion.
00:53:46Until I had her confidence and the proper set of keys.
00:53:49Why did you do this?
00:53:50For one purpose.
00:53:52Freedom.
00:53:53Today is the 14th of July.
00:53:55After the midnight banquet is over, the way is clear.
00:53:57You mean the silver.
00:53:59What I mean is my affair.
00:54:01I can't stay in this house.
00:54:02I'll meet you in Paris for sure.
00:54:03I'll let you go now.
00:54:04Don't.
00:54:05Don't struggle.
00:54:06I want you.
00:54:07We are alone now.
00:54:08All right, I'll stay.
00:54:11I'll give you one more day.
00:54:12Until tomorrow.
00:54:13If you're not ready by then, I'll go alone.
00:54:16I've been fooled for the last time.
00:54:33How much more, Joseph?
00:54:34About finished.
00:54:36I hope so.
00:54:37If I had my way, we'd use this stuff all the time or sell it or something.
00:54:41Would you, Charles?
00:54:42Careful.
00:54:43You'll dent that cruet.
00:54:45When are you leaving?
00:54:47Tomorrow, madame.
00:54:48Alone?
00:54:49I think so.
00:54:51Isn't this silver beautiful, Joseph?
00:54:53I always thought so, madame.
00:54:55Yes, I know.
00:55:02Did you hear, madame?
00:55:04They're beginning the celebration.
00:55:06They play the same old tunes every year.
00:55:08We're about finished with our work, madame.
00:55:10Could we go to the village for a while?
00:55:12Nobody leaves this house on the 14th of July.
00:55:14We don't approve of it.
00:55:15What do you mean by we?
00:55:17I've decided that this year everybody shall go for one hour.
00:55:20You mean all of us?
00:55:21No, not you.
00:55:21Go into the garden and pick some roses.
00:55:23Isn't it getting a bit dark to pick roses?
00:55:27Go anyway.
00:55:28And now, Joseph.
00:55:30Give me the keys to the vault.
00:55:33The keys?
00:55:34Yes.
00:55:37Celestine.
00:55:41After ten years, I demand an explanation.
00:55:45It has come over me recently that perhaps I've done you an injustice by placing temptation in your way.
00:55:51I shudder to think how easy it would have been for you to have entered the vault any time you
00:55:55wished,
00:55:55knowing the theft would not be discovered until the following year.
00:56:00Yes, I've really done you a great injustice.
00:56:03Having been your confidential steward for so long, this hurts me very deeply.
00:56:10I understand, Joseph.
00:56:12Now give me the keys.
00:56:14You want all the keys to all the rooms?
00:56:21Now carry that silver to the dining room.
00:56:35You'll always be a valent, Joseph.
00:56:56What is it, Joseph?
00:56:57Did she take the keys?
00:57:00Doesn't matter.
00:57:01One more day and I'll leave alone.
00:57:03Things will work out.
00:57:05You'll come with me.
00:57:07All right.
00:57:08But get the money first.
00:57:11Celestine.
00:57:12Celestine.
00:57:13Come on.
00:57:13We've only got an hour.
00:57:15Are you coming with us?
00:57:16No.
00:57:17Run alone.
00:57:18But it's no fun alone.
00:57:19Who will buy me things?
00:57:21Bravo!
00:57:24Bravo the Republic!
00:57:33Why not take Captain Mogé?
00:57:35Mogé?
00:57:36Are you serious?
00:57:37Yes.
00:57:37He'll buy you things and it'll keep him amused for a while.
00:57:42All right.
00:57:42I will.
00:57:45Goodbye.
00:57:46Goodbye.
00:57:47Goodbye.
00:57:53Celestine.
00:57:56Celestine.
00:57:57You off to the celebration?
00:57:58Oh, naturally.
00:57:59Would you like to be our escort?
00:58:00Naturally.
00:58:01Come on.
00:58:04Where are you going?
00:58:05I'm all dressed up.
00:58:06Wait for me, Captain.
00:58:08Wait for me.
00:58:09All right.
00:58:09Go on to the village.
00:58:10I'll meet you in the square.
00:58:11Be sure.
00:58:12Yes, naturally.
00:58:12Come on.
00:58:15Where are you going, my little sugar bar?
00:58:17Why, to the celebrations with you, Captain.
00:58:20In that case, let's go this way.
00:58:22Let's go this way.
00:58:32Did you forget something, Captain?
00:58:34Yes, I did.
00:58:34Come on, little honey sugar.
00:58:36I forgot my money.
00:58:37I want to be sure and give you a good time.
00:58:39Come on, little sugar.
00:58:40I'll bless you.
00:58:42Goodness.
00:58:42No, no, no.
00:58:43I'm going to play a little game.
00:58:44I'm going to play a little game.
00:58:45I'm going to play a little game.
00:58:45Come on.
00:58:46I'm going to play a little game.
00:58:47What kind of a day?
00:58:49Isolating the enemy.
00:58:51Military strategy.
00:58:52You're after that.
00:58:53Celestine.
00:58:54Yes.
00:58:54You couldn't get better if you were Cagliostro.
00:58:56No way, Captain.
00:58:58Don't go, baby.
00:58:59Don't go.
00:58:59Good old man.
00:59:01Good old man.
00:59:03Let's go.
00:59:03Come on, little girl.
00:59:05Look, look.
00:59:05Let's go.
00:59:06Go, look, look.
00:59:06Go, go, go.
00:59:06You're after all.
00:59:21Go, go.
00:59:56I'm going to see you next time.
01:00:02Oh, Captain, wait for that.
01:00:04That's right, that's right.
01:00:05How's it going, Captain?
01:00:06Have you tried anything new lately?
01:00:09Be glad, fellas!
01:00:19Lately!
01:00:21Lately!
01:00:24Here, here!
01:00:25Here you are, here you are!
01:00:27Lately!
01:00:28Hey, hey!
01:00:30Tell us, please!
01:00:31Captain, Captain!
01:00:33Take it back!
01:00:33Take it back!
01:00:34Fellas, get me a drink!
01:00:36Get me a drink!
01:00:37Hey-ho!
01:00:40Oh, there's the captain!
01:00:55Here you are!
01:00:55I've never seen I've been looking for you.
01:00:57Me too. Come on and buy me me.
01:00:58Certainly will. Certainly will.
01:01:01Hit the bullseye, Captain. Hit the bullseye.
01:01:03Are you a good shot?
01:01:04Best in the Army. How about you?
01:01:06Wait and see.
01:01:08Mine's broke. Try the other one, Captain.
01:01:09Come on, everybody. Have a free shot.
01:01:11The Captain will pay for it, won't you, Captain?
01:01:14Certainly will. Have a good time, everybody.
01:01:16I know the prank, Captain.
01:01:17Help yourself.
01:01:18The Captain's the most generous man in the whole country, aren't you, Captain?
01:01:21Well, pretty good sport there.
01:01:23Well, I've finished.
01:01:24Let's go.
01:01:26Let's go.
01:01:26See how popular you are.
01:01:29I hope my money man's out.
01:01:32Ask him to take us to the other booth. It's more fun than anything.
01:01:35Well, let's go.
01:01:36Can you get a drink there?
01:01:44Hold it now.
01:01:48Here.
01:01:49You ready?
01:01:54I'll make them stop.
01:01:55I'll make them stop.
01:02:01This is the place, Celestine. Isn't it fine?
01:02:03It's wonderful.
01:02:04Look at the bride and the groom and the mother-in-law.
01:02:08Oh, fun.
01:02:10Thanks a million times.
01:02:13I've got much left.
01:02:13There you are.
01:02:14Here, throw some more.
01:02:15Yes, I will.
01:02:16Go ahead.
01:02:20Good.
01:02:21Good.
01:02:22Now, watch this.
01:02:22Watch this.
01:02:29That means you're going to get married.
01:02:31You see, you hit the bride and I hit the groom.
01:02:33I guess I can't get out of it.
01:02:34That's right.
01:02:34Come on.
01:02:35We'll have a dream.
01:02:35Talk it over.
01:02:37Here.
01:02:38Give me two glasses.
01:02:39No, no.
01:02:39Give me a full bottle.
01:02:41I don't need any more money.
01:02:42Yes, I have.
01:02:44That's all.
01:02:45Celestine.
01:02:47This way.
01:02:49Let's sit there.
01:02:50Oh, no.
01:02:51Why not?
01:02:51Please, that's the wishing tree.
01:02:53Yes, or no.
01:02:55I wish.
01:02:59I wish Celestine and me would go to Paris together and get married.
01:03:02In a cathedral.
01:03:04Don't say that.
01:03:05Only we people sit around under trees wishing for things.
01:03:08It's better to do it yourself.
01:03:11You're right.
01:03:12No wishes.
01:03:13There's a train in a few hours.
01:03:14We'll take it.
01:03:15How's that for an idea?
01:03:16We'll go to Paris.
01:03:17Yes.
01:03:17You wait here.
01:03:18I'll run home and get some money.
01:03:19I'm a man of action.
01:03:21Put it up.
01:03:38I have to be at the house.
01:03:39Oh, look.
01:03:40I have to.
01:03:41No, no.
01:03:42Yes.
01:03:42No, no.
01:03:42It looks like it's not needed.
01:03:42No.
01:03:49No, no.
01:03:50No, no.
01:03:51It looks like I'm killed.
01:03:51No, no.
01:03:52No!
01:03:53No, no.
01:03:55No, no.
01:04:03Who's the best sport in the world?
01:04:05Mojie!
01:04:09I dropped it.
01:04:11I'm going to pass with Celestine, Celestine, Celestine, Celestine, Celestine, I'm going to pass with Celestine.
01:04:21We're no big.
01:04:22Mother, call the window.
01:04:23Mother, call the window.
01:04:29Mother, call the window.
01:04:31Mother, call the window.
01:04:37Mother, call the window.
01:04:39Mother, call the window.
01:04:40Captain, let me out.
01:04:42I won't go to the Celestine.
01:04:44You know where I'm going?
01:04:44If you don't want me to...
01:04:45First, Celestine.
01:04:46Get my money.
01:04:48Get my money.
01:04:50No, you won't go with Celestine.
01:04:52Celestine.
01:04:52You know what she'll do.
01:04:53She'll steal your money.
01:04:54Celestine.
01:04:54She'll run away and leave.
01:04:55Celestine.
01:04:56Celestine.
01:04:57Celestine.
01:04:58No, don't, don't.
01:05:00Call the window.
01:05:02Window.
01:05:03Window.
01:05:04What is that?
01:05:06What is it?
01:05:06Hey!
01:05:09Ah!
01:05:10Ah!
01:05:11huh!
01:05:14Oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:05:38There's no evidence.
01:05:50It will be an honor to dedicate the next march to you, Miss Celestine.
01:05:56La Belle Parisienne.
01:05:58That's very sweet of you.
01:06:02Now, everybody, La Belle Parisienne.
01:06:11La Belle Parisienne.
01:06:33Captain! Captain!
01:06:35You're going to let me out!
01:06:37Baby, baby, let me out!
01:06:40Baby, shoot!
01:06:49Baby, I'm sorry!
01:06:51I won't scold you anymore!
01:06:52Let me out, Captain!
01:06:54Baby, be a good baby!
01:06:55Yes, your mommy wants to get out!
01:06:57Captain! Captain!
01:06:59I'll be angry with you, Captain!
01:07:00Come on!
01:07:01Come on!
01:07:03Come on!
01:07:04Come on!
01:07:06Come on!
01:07:07Come on!
01:07:08Come on!
01:07:10Come on!
01:07:10Come on!
01:07:11Come on!
01:07:27Let me to your little grace!
01:07:30Will you.
01:07:33Elizabeth!
01:07:35Good-bye!
01:07:36Do you have fun?
01:07:37I'm glad you've got that one!
01:07:40We'd better go, Celestine. We'll be late at the chateau.
01:07:43Oh, don't go. We'll miss you.
01:07:45Oh, I'm afraid we'll have to.
01:07:46I'm going to do something I've never done before.
01:07:49The L'Enlaire don't like us, and we don't like them.
01:07:52But tonight, we're going to march and play our music
01:07:54right under the very window.
01:07:56In honor of you, Celestine.
01:07:58Now, don't forget to listen.
01:08:00Well, don't forget to come.
01:08:02Bye, everybody. Bye.
01:08:05Wait for me.
01:08:14Come on.
01:08:39Come on.
01:08:39Come on.
01:08:39Come on.
01:08:50Come on.
01:08:50Captain Mosier was darling.
01:08:54He bought us everything.
01:08:55Let's get in already.
01:08:56It's late.
01:08:56What have you been doing?
01:08:57Digging for treasure?
01:08:59He's funny, isn't he?
01:09:00Like an undertaker.
01:09:05Let's go to the Loneers and pray for Celestine.
01:09:10Everybody, one.
01:09:23Hmm.
01:09:25There's another woman murdered in Paris.
01:09:27Another woman cut to pieces.
01:09:30Charles.
01:09:31You stand.
01:09:35Here you are, Mary.
01:09:37Everybody's so late, our dinner will be ruined.
01:09:39Here's the salad.
01:09:40All right.
01:09:41Everybody into the dining room.
01:09:42What do we do there?
01:09:44We drink a toast.
01:09:45We do it every year.
01:09:50I have some news for you.
01:09:52You gave me one more day to leave for Cherbourg.
01:09:54I'm ready to go.
01:09:55You got the silver.
01:09:56I've got the money.
01:09:57How?
01:09:57That needn't concern you.
01:10:00My captain.
01:10:01Where's my captain?
01:10:03Where's my baby going?
01:10:04What have you done with him?
01:10:05Where is he?
01:10:06Rose, you're hurting me.
01:10:07Where is he?
01:10:07I don't know.
01:10:08He broke open his locker.
01:10:09He took his money and ran away.
01:10:10I don't know what you're talking about.
01:10:11You're lying.
01:10:12You're hysterical.
01:10:12You know.
01:10:13She let him out.
01:10:14She tricked him.
01:10:15He did it for you.
01:10:16He told me so.
01:10:17Go look for him.
01:10:18He's drunk somewhere.
01:10:20No, he isn't.
01:10:20You've hit him somewhere.
01:10:21She stole my baby.
01:10:23Get off the property.
01:10:24Oh, my baby.
01:10:25Captain.
01:10:26Captain.
01:10:27My baby.
01:10:28Where are you?
01:10:29Oh, my baby.
01:10:37Where is he?
01:10:40Joseph.
01:10:44Joseph.
01:10:46Listen.
01:10:47You were in Moshe's garden.
01:10:49You killed him for the money.
01:10:49We killed him.
01:10:51You were in a hurry for the cafe.
01:10:53We are in this together.
01:10:54No, I...
01:10:55Be quiet.
01:10:58Come on.
01:11:06Open the door.
01:11:10Get in.
01:11:21Joseph, serve the wine, please.
01:11:34That music sounds louder than usual.
01:11:57George, there's a question I've been wanting to ask your mother.
01:12:01Yes?
01:12:01How are we going to end the Republic just by closing the shutter once a year and celebrating with this
01:12:06confounded silver?
01:12:08It isn't a celebration.
01:12:09It's a funeral for ourselves and everyone like us.
01:12:11Well, that's the question I've always wanted to ask your mother.
01:12:15His death to the Republic.
01:12:22To you, George.
01:12:24If you should ever leave me again, I don't think I could go on living.
01:12:30Death to the Republic.
01:12:31Madam.
01:12:32I am taking this occasion to make an announcement.
01:12:36I have served you faithfully for ten years.
01:12:39Ten years, three months and three days, to be exact.
01:12:42But, like so many other people of my class, I always had the ambition that one day I'd be my
01:12:48own master.
01:12:49That day has come.
01:12:51I have, through the years, saved and invested my money carefully, until I was able to buy a little business.
01:12:58I thought you'd be glad to hear about it.
01:13:00You mean you're leaving?
01:13:02Yes, sir.
01:13:03Well, that's too bad.
01:13:06How soon will you go?
01:13:08Right away.
01:13:09Tonight.
01:13:09We're leaving tonight.
01:13:10Perhaps I should also announce that I am going to be married.
01:13:15I found myself a wife.
01:13:18Celestine.
01:13:19Yes, Celestine.
01:13:20You're a liar. Get out of this room.
01:13:21George, please.
01:13:22He's a liar and a fool!
01:13:23I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lose my table, but just for a moment, I took you seriously.
01:13:26It's true. He's not lying.
01:13:27I don't believe you.
01:13:28Joseph, I gave you a chance to get out gracefully. Take advantage of it.
01:13:30Don't say anymore.
01:13:31I'm sorry you don't believe it. Celestine loves me, and we are going away together.
01:13:35Take me away now.
01:13:36I congratulate you. I'm happy. Very happy. Let's all drink a toast to Celestine's future.
01:13:40But first, let me see you kiss him.
01:13:42We are not used to kissing in public, Mr. George.
01:13:45Not in public. Are you ashamed?
01:13:46You shouldn't be ashamed of love. You should be proud.
01:13:49Take him in your arms. Hold him. Kiss him. Embrace him!
01:13:56Celestine! Celestine!
01:14:01George! Where are you going?
01:14:03Flying to the moon.
01:14:04That creature cares nothing for you. If she pretended to, it was my orders.
01:14:07She's a servant. She belongs with us servants. Let her go with Joseph.
01:14:10That's it. That's what I like to hear.
01:14:12You and I are liars, parasites, thieves. That's as it should be.
01:14:15But she's a servant. She has no feelings, no morals, no rights, nothing.
01:14:18You're my son!
01:14:19That's just what I'm trying to forget.
01:14:29Hooray for my son!
01:14:45What did you say?
01:14:47I said hooray for my son.
01:14:53How dare you?
01:14:53Let the music come in!
01:14:55Let me breathe!
01:14:56Come for the shutters!
01:14:57Let me move on!
01:14:58Hooray for my son!
01:15:00Hooray for revolution!
01:15:02You miserable fool! Sit down.
01:15:08Joseph, close those shutters!
01:15:21Before you go, I want you to do one thing for me.
01:15:28What is it, madame?
01:15:29My son is bewitched by that creature.
01:15:31When I brought her here, I didn't bargain for this.
01:15:33His infatuation is complete.
01:15:35He'll go away with her and never return.
01:15:37I want you to take her with you.
01:15:39It will take a certain price, madame.
01:15:41A price from me?
01:15:42Yes.
01:15:43What is it?
01:15:44The silverware.
01:15:46You're as insane as the rest of them.
01:15:48Very well, madame. Good night.
01:15:49Joseph, you know what this silver means to me.
01:15:54That's exactly why I want it.
01:15:56To hurt me.
01:15:57No.
01:15:58I must have it as you had it for my peace of mind.
01:16:01It represents to me as it has to you.
01:16:03My new position in life.
01:16:05My new security.
01:16:09I'll give you one piece.
01:16:17I'll give you this.
01:16:18I want all of them.
01:16:21No, but...
01:16:22I'll divide it with you.
01:16:24I'll give you half.
01:16:25All of it.
01:16:26They'll leave me my candelabra.
01:16:27And this.
01:16:28And this.
01:16:29All of it, madame.
01:16:30And you'd better decide quick.
01:16:32All of it.
01:16:34All right.
01:16:35Take the door.
01:16:37Take it.
01:16:38Take that.
01:16:45Why do you come here?
01:16:47Why?
01:16:48I might not.
01:16:48You must.
01:16:51I love you, Celestine.
01:16:52But you told me to get out.
01:16:53That you never want to see me again.
01:16:55I was wrong.
01:16:55Forgive me.
01:16:56Will you forgive me?
01:16:57It's too late.
01:16:58It's too late.
01:16:59I have to make you understand that.
01:17:00You mean about Joseph?
01:17:01Please believe me, George.
01:17:02You mean about Joseph?
01:17:03Yes, because of Joseph.
01:17:06You don't love him.
01:17:07You showed me that.
01:17:08I love you, George.
01:17:10I think I've loved you all my life.
01:17:12But I can't be with you.
01:17:13I know why.
01:17:14Because I'm ill.
01:17:14You think I'm dying?
01:17:15Don't say that.
01:17:16It's cruel.
01:17:16It's true.
01:17:17I knew it from the beginning.
01:17:17That's why I tried to leave you.
01:17:19I understood you were afraid.
01:17:20Afraid?
01:17:21Yes, afraid of me, of my lips.
01:17:22Afraid to kiss me.
01:17:22That's not true, George.
01:17:24It isn't.
01:17:26Come here.
01:17:34You see, it's not true.
01:17:37No, I wish there were no other place but right here.
01:17:42No other time but now.
01:17:45My dearest.
01:17:46My dearest.
01:17:50Why did you cry?
01:17:52Why are you crying?
01:17:54Because I love you so.
01:18:17Goodbye, George.
01:18:22Good morning,cimento.
01:18:27Take it exercise.
01:18:27Take it as good as scum.
01:18:31And I wish your lard.
01:18:34Where am I here?
01:18:47Go away!
01:18:50Don't touch him!
01:18:52I wouldn't harm Mr. George.
01:18:54Not if you come with me.
01:19:01Murderer! Murderer! Murderer!
01:19:03Murderer!
01:19:04Murderer!
01:19:04Murderer!
01:19:25Murderer!
01:19:27Murderer!
01:19:28Stop it!
01:19:30Stop it!
01:19:32Murderer!
01:19:35Murderer!
01:19:47Joseph!
01:19:54If you touch him again, I'll kill you.
01:19:56Did I start it?
01:19:58Come on.
01:19:59Keep away!
01:20:01Keep away!
01:20:02Keep away!
01:20:03Keep away!
01:20:04Oh!
01:20:19Help!
01:20:22Help!
01:20:23Help!
01:20:26Are you coming with me now, or do I have to kill him too?
01:20:30Don't you?
01:20:35I need us.
01:20:37Help!
01:20:38Help!
01:21:00Joe!
01:21:17Your luggage is in the carriage. Everything is prepared. Look.
01:21:28The silver.
01:21:30The silver.
01:21:30The silver.
01:21:30It's ours now. All of it. You'll eat from it like a queen. And here.
01:22:19It's over here.
01:22:20Look everybody! Celestine is back!
01:22:25Let me through there. Get out my way. I'm in a hurry.
01:22:34I tell you, I want to get through.
01:22:36Just make way there.
01:22:37Did you hear our music?
01:22:39We played it for you.
01:22:40Don't run away.
01:22:41What's the hurry?
01:22:42If you don't let me through, I'll use the whip.
01:22:44You understand?
01:22:45Stop it.
01:22:46Come on, sir.
01:22:47Stop it!
01:22:48Stop it!
01:22:48Stop it!
01:22:52Stop it!
01:22:58What do you mean, Joseph? Help me down, somebody.
01:23:01I'll kill you next person who touches these trunks.
01:23:03What do you mean you'll kill them?
01:23:05I'll kill you next person who touches these trunks.
01:23:07You'll kill them? That's an awful word to use, Joseph.
01:23:10Did you hear what he said my husband-to-be?
01:23:12Well, this is my wedding present, and I'm going to share it with you.
01:23:15Let's try it.
01:23:31Get away, you!
01:23:32And you!
01:23:33Get away, you!
01:23:35And you!
01:23:39Get away, you!
01:23:39It's a strange thing about me, Joseph. Here I am again.
01:23:44The more I'm beaten, the stronger I get.
01:23:45You think I'd be finished?
01:23:46Wouldn't you?
01:23:47Well, I'm not!
01:23:49Get away! Get away!
01:23:51Get away!
01:23:59Get away!
01:24:02Get away!
01:24:03Get away!
01:24:04Get away!
01:24:05Get away!
01:24:15Get away!
01:24:18Get away!
01:24:21Get away!
01:24:25Hey!
01:24:28Get away!
01:24:31Come on.
01:24:32Come on, come on.
01:24:34Do it.
01:24:35There it goes.
01:24:36Hold it.
01:24:41Get him again.
01:24:43Get him.
01:24:44Come on, if you don't like him.
01:24:45Got you.
01:24:49Hit him.
01:24:51Come on.
01:25:02Take him!
01:25:44Take him!
01:26:04All right, Celestique. I want you to write something on the last page.
01:26:13Forsaking all others.
01:26:17Through sickness and health.
01:26:31For better or for worse.
01:26:36Till death do us part.
01:27:01For better or for worse.
01:27:06To be continued.
01:27:11You
