﻿Devotional poetry
﻿is the most remarkable with Teresa of Avila.
﻿She had hoped for martyrdom
﻿which she believed would open the gates of heaven to her.
﻿In this text by Teresa of Avila,
﻿we should listen for the extreme meaning,
﻿what I call the "art of stages."
﻿I'll explain:
﻿in a sentence such as this,
﻿"Often when a person is distracted
﻿"and forgetful of God, His Majesty..."
﻿What's going on?
﻿What's the matter? -I don't know.
﻿Call the fire department.
﻿Are you all right?
﻿You say you can't pay 15€ a week for the cafeteria.
﻿3€ a meal can't be beat.
﻿That's 60 a month. Where do I find that?
﻿You can always sue your folks. People do, you know.
﻿They have to provide for you.
﻿It's your right. And your health.
﻿So I'm reduced to that?
﻿Dad's a mason, Mom's a nurse. They would, but they can't.
﻿You say no to soup kitchens.
﻿I have no miracle solutions.
﻿I look too healthy, is that it? It's my fat cheeks?
﻿I thought we agreed,
﻿when you moved in, to share expenses.
﻿So lay off.
﻿Then you asked for half the rent. That wasn't the deal.
﻿You live here, you share.
﻿Not getting by?
﻿Eh, baby?
﻿I'll look for a second job.
﻿Too bad.
﻿Sure.
﻿Get a second job if you're broke.
﻿You're not hard enough.
﻿You smoked too much.
﻿Help me.
﻿What is it?
﻿- You didn't pay the electric? - Sure.
﻿Then what is it?
﻿You didn't pay?
﻿I'll pay tomorrow.
﻿With what?

Laura, you've got mail
﻿I'm a young-looking fiftyish. Gym teacher. I love youth.
﻿I'm a sport fishing champ. I won't hurt you... Just kidding!
﻿I help out students... for tenderness.
﻿Interested? Impatiently awaiting reply.
﻿Tender how?
﻿Tender as you like.
﻿Massages and caresses.
﻿Your soft skin, my expert hands.
﻿Tenderness above all.
﻿But it's not sexual?
﻿I don't have massage training...
﻿Leave everything to me.
﻿You have nothing to fear.
﻿I'm a gentleman. Here's my photo to prove it.
﻿We’ll stop when you want.
﻿Sex isn't essential.
﻿Manu?
﻿I forgot my rolling paper.
﻿Wait for me.
﻿Steve's double-parked.
﻿- Please. Just two seconds. - A kiss. Okay, quick.
﻿You smell nice.
﻿You're Laura?
﻿Hello. Joe.
﻿What's this?
﻿I read it?
﻿In front of you?
﻿Hello. Laura. First of all. thank you for being on time.
﻿And if I'd been late?
﻿Today we'll play together.
﻿Read my letter to the end, following instructions.
﻿First. I want you to undress
﻿entirely.
﻿This is why I don't like professionals.
﻿They don't look innocent like you.
﻿Now, take a shower. Then I will.
﻿Thank you for being here.
﻿You really excite me.
﻿Now here's how it goes.
﻿I love playacting.
﻿I fantasize about it a lot.
﻿Come over here.
﻿Caress yourself for me.
﻿Stroke yourself like it was the first time.
﻿Touch yourself more. Excite me more.
﻿I can't.
﻿I can see that. I understand.
﻿You're more the type to be dominated.
﻿Come sit beside me. I'll take over.
﻿Sit down. We'll talk.
﻿How old are you exactly?
﻿What are you studying
﻿Applied foreign languages.
﻿Freshman year?
﻿Why are you here today?
﻿You know why.
﻿Got anyone in your life?
﻿Your family from here?
﻿You were born here?
﻿I'm here for school.
﻿Is the money for you?
﻿It's good what you're doing.
﻿I also have people who depend on me.
﻿I'm divorced.
﻿I have a daughter a bit older than you.
﻿I remarried a very beautiful woman.
﻿It's been a while now...
﻿- And my fantasies... -Don't tell me about your life.
﻿You're right. It's not the same.
﻿We combine business with pleasure.
﻿Right, Laura?
﻿I don't fantasize about Lolitas.
﻿Next time, I'll bring you something.
﻿You'll like it.
﻿You can get dressed.
﻿I'm delighted, you know.
﻿Our first contact was super. I enjoyed it.
﻿You're magnificent. I didn't expect someone like you.
﻿You're sensitive, you're attractive.
﻿I really appreciate it.
﻿Thank you, Laura.
﻿How about a karaoke?
﻿- Where you going? - To work.
﻿- What do I owe you? - 27€.
﻿- With the crepe? - Everything.
﻿You okay?
﻿The cortege... and the crematorium.
﻿Yes ma'am. The ashes are included.
﻿Exactly.
﻿Very well, ma'am.
﻿Have a good evening.
﻿I'm interested in your services. Waiting for an answer.
﻿OK for 70€ an hour if it's for 2 hours. Confirm...
﻿They're relocating some to the Limoges plant.
﻿But I'm not wild about moving.
﻿- I'll check with my colleagues. - Why are you here tonight?
﻿In this restaurant?
﻿Here with me.
﻿Why looking for a "masseuse"?
﻿How can I put it?
﻿It's complicated.
﻿I've never done this before.
﻿- It's the first time. - But why, I'm asking?
﻿I'm married to someone really nice.
﻿As for the sex, I don't understand what's wrong.
﻿It's complicated.
﻿At first I thought it wouldn't last, you see?
﻿We've been married a year, but nothing's new in our sex life.
﻿She keeps pushing me away.
﻿I don't dare say anything or force her.
﻿don't have many friends for advice.
﻿So my marriage...
﻿A marriage without sex is friendship. Not a couple.
﻿Say it, you're starved for sex.
﻿Let's go.
﻿- Now? - Sure.
﻿We've talked enough.
﻿But where?
﻿You have money for a hotel?
﻿I'm pretty stressed out.
﻿Maybe if you undressed...
﻿I'll put on the heat.
﻿Would you mind..
﻿helping me?
﻿Please?
﻿Sorry. Forgive me.
﻿Do I pay you now?
﻿140€, right?
﻿Manu?
﻿What?
﻿You pinched a slice of ham?
﻿I don't know.
﻿Maybe the other day.
﻿Then replace it.
﻿I'm starved. Not even any ham.
﻿Look at me.
﻿What?
﻿Mom's invited you for Christmas.
﻿Stupid jerk.
﻿What's the matter?
﻿I got raped to pay your fucking rent!
﻿Don't get sordid.
﻿The stuff she comes up with!
﻿"She" is leaving.
﻿It's over. No more swiping ham.
﻿What's this game?
﻿It's not. It's over.
﻿I got a tree.
﻿Daddy got a tree.
﻿Sorry, but it's 10 a.m.
﻿How are you?
﻿Say good morning.
﻿That's sweet.
﻿Let's decorate the tree.
﻿That's not funny! Now wash your hair.
﻿Stop fooling around.
﻿I'm fed up. Wash your hair. Do as I say.
﻿I left the corrected exercises in the kitchen.
﻿For you. A gift.
﻿No, I said.
﻿- Relax. Have a drink. It's on us. -I don't want it.
﻿We're out tonight. Have a drink.
﻿We've got time.
﻿Whatcha doing?
﻿You've never had exams to take.
﻿For what?
﻿You got that wrong... That's not right.
﻿Sorry I'm late. It was hard to find cigarettes.
﻿It's Prince Charming. We'll offer you a drink.
﻿Have a drink.
﻿What's your name?
﻿Benjamin.
﻿I'm only on my third Whiskey and Coke.
﻿I think I can say that you're very...
﻿How can I put it?
﻿You already find me pretty?
﻿After 3 whiskeys?
﻿I found you pretty an hour ago.
﻿Maybe even longer than that.
﻿I can help you study for your exams, if you want.
﻿I don't know. How do you rank?
﻿My rank?
﻿Top rank.
﻿It's fine.
﻿So after the water damage, the insurance claim and all that...
﻿So, I moved back
﻿It's well heated.
﻿You don't make any money?
﻿Make what?
﻿- Money... - Okay, I get it.
﻿Money.
﻿Sure. Sometimes.
﻿So you have work?
﻿Some work, some unemployment.
﻿This is it.
﻿Here we are.
﻿So, I don't have your number.
﻿I told you, I don't have a phone.
﻿What?
﻿I'll call you.
﻿When?
﻿After my exams.
﻿How low can you go Tell me instead,
﻿"After I dump my boyfriend."
﻿"After my exams..." Help!
﻿I'll call you.
﻿Another try. We'll get there.
﻿C'mon, relax.
﻿Look at me.
﻿Look at you. You're not exciting.
﻿Try to...
﻿Be less of a lump.
﻿More sex. Sexier.
﻿There you go. Good.
﻿Open your mouth.
﻿Move. Move. Nice.
﻿Okay, baby. I've got what I need. Get dressed.
﻿If you want to make a hit,
﻿don't be afraid to be a bit sleazy, a bit smutty.
﻿Think of the girl who likes that.
﻿You have something all your own.
﻿Use it.
﻿I don't plan to make a career of this.
﻿What do you want to do?
﻿Be a translator or interpreter, to travel.
﻿No connection.
﻿You're not Kate Moss, either.
﻿But I may have something for you.
﻿you need more.
﻿I'm telling you because I like you. It's a great deal.
﻿A client is looking for a girl just like you.
﻿It's for a threesome. Nothing too nasty.
﻿It's just him, a nice guy,
﻿and another girl like you. A college student.
﻿You let the girl lick you off while the guy pulls his pud.
﻿Who's the girl?
﻿How should I know!
﻿Some slacker after some easy cash.
﻿You interested?
﻿You pose for photos.
﻿That's different.
﻿Posing occasionally is okay, but no one touches my body.
﻿I don't want to.
﻿Don't be so fussy. You'll see a pair of shoes in a shop window
﻿and call me back for the guy's number.
﻿He pays 200€...
﻿An hour!
﻿I don't give a damn.
﻿student prostitution
﻿I took the plunge long ago. Call me to talk about It.
﻿Connecting...
﻿How many men have you had?
﻿- Two. - Is that all?
﻿That's nothing.
﻿- How many have you had? - Clients?
﻿Don't know exactly. 20... 25.
﻿It adds up fast at 5 times a month.
﻿Where's the "Glamour"?
﻿On the shelf in the toilet.
﻿My co-tenant.
﻿Is she also...?
﻿She has a scholarship.
﻿But you should see her drool
﻿when I come home with a Chanel bag.
﻿Check out my bag.
﻿Isn't it awesome?
﻿- It's gorgeous. -I can't complain.
﻿My girlfriends tell me
﻿being a checkout girl.
﻿-I have to hang up. - See you, maybe.
﻿Where do the shirts go?
﻿The closet in the bedroom.
﻿You like it here?
﻿The apartment...
﻿Not much..
﻿It's fancy.
﻿If it's cramped at your friends' place,
﻿I have a spare bedroom.
﻿What do you mean?
﻿The big bedroom.
﻿The guestroom.
﻿At the other end. Completely independent.
﻿What's the rent?
﻿It's free.
﻿You understand?
﻿you like,
﻿it's a popular sharing arrangement.
﻿I think.
﻿You offer a room and access to the common areas.
﻿In exchange
﻿we have a good time once in a while.
﻿Good time?
﻿Depending on the arrangement.
﻿For instance, with the girl before you,
﻿it was four times a month. I'm not greedy.
﻿It was a good deal for her. But then she met a guy.
﻿Think you might be interested?
﻿I don't know.
﻿I'm going to dust. I have class in an hour.
﻿Think it over?
﻿'m not a whore.
﻿I'm not a whore.

﻿I'll call you.
﻿- I'm right here. - I'll call you.
﻿B average, guys! That's great!

﻿OK. ASAP. I need money...
﻿And I need my own computer.

﻿Happy birthday, honey.
﻿Thanks, Mom.
﻿What are you going to do for your 19th birthday?
﻿What've you planned?
﻿Nothing special. I'll be working.
﻿Go up ahead of me.
﻿This is the last time, Laura.
﻿Come in, master.
﻿No laughing.
﻿Lie on the bed on your stomach,
﻿crosswise.
﻿Now let your head drop and feel under the bed.
﻿You'll open it later.
﻿Sit beside me.
﻿I can't. It's not my thing.
﻿What if it's mine?
﻿I'm going to tie you up today.
﻿I felt you might like it.
﻿Don't worry, Laura.
﻿Not too tight?
﻿See? It doesn't hurt.
﻿What's wrong?
﻿I thought you liked submission.
﻿You leaving?
﻿ e said two hours. You still have an hour.
﻿It's my birthday today.
﻿My friends are waiting for me in a cafe.
﻿I should have warned you.
﻿Don't take it so bad. It was just a little fantasy.
﻿Not showering?
﻿No, I'm going.
﻿You forgot this.
﻿It was good.
﻿I liked it.
﻿You knew it was my birthday?
﻿Don't feel like it?
﻿You're strange.
﻿You can't? Have your period?
﻿You don't want to make love?
﻿I do.
﻿What's the matter?
﻿I don't know.
﻿You do know.
﻿Tell me what it is.
﻿Some kind of a block?
﻿Is it me?
﻿What is it? You looked so...
﻿so much in love. So excited. What's the matter?
﻿Did someone hurt you?
﻿You can tell me everything.
﻿You can trust me.
﻿Were you raped?
﻿Don't tell me you couldn't afford to eat, I don't know,
﻿peanuts at your friend's bar.
﻿I did.
﻿But there comes a time when you want to have 10€ to eat decently.
﻿I'm not crazy.
﻿What's your old man's name?
﻿Did Joe give you pleasure? Did he excite you?
﻿No, never. Are you nuts?
﻿You never felt any pleasure?
﻿Or excitement...
﻿from the situation? Just from the transgression?
﻿Never.
﻿Poor little woman.
﻿Do you mind
﻿being with a whore?
﻿You're not a whore.
﻿Doesn't it bother you?
﻿Doesn't it disgust you?
﻿Maybe because I'm not jealous.
﻿Or you have no morals.
﻿- Or it excites me. - What a bastard!
﻿You're in for it this time.
﻿It's time to pay
﻿Yes it is.
﻿This is 20€. We said 200.
﻿It's 200 minus a zero.
﻿You're kidding.
﻿Sorry, but it's all I got.
﻿You all right?
﻿What happened?
﻿What a swine.
﻿Sonofabitch!
﻿But it's your fault too.
﻿Get paid first.
﻿Don't lift a finger until they fork out.
﻿I never had problems with anyone else.
﻿Poor darling.
﻿Alone and confused.
﻿I sold my ass for 20€ tonight.
﻿That's six beers!
﻿It makes me sick.
﻿What'd you do for 20€?
﻿I'm not telling you, it's too sick.
﻿I want you to keep me posted now:
﻿where you are and when.
﻿I can take it because I know you have your reasons.
﻿But do nothing without telling me, okay?
﻿Call it a pact.
﻿Okay.
﻿You're my pimp, kind of.
﻿Pay first.
﻿Sure.
﻿Enough. You've got it down.
﻿Can you hear the beauty?
﻿You're the beauty.
﻿Come on.
﻿Shit!
﻿What's wrong
﻿Gotta cancel. I got my period.
﻿Don't you have enough to pay bills?
﻿We could've gone out to dinner.
﻿What?
﻿Come here.
﻿I have to run.
﻿That a new jacket?
﻿Yep. See you tonight.
﻿I don't do that.
﻿I'll give you an extra 50€.
﻿You shoulda said so.
﻿Are you nuts?
﻿The chicken...
﻿And the lamb...
﻿Enjoy your meal.
﻿He sees me doing a PhD.
﻿Can you believe it?
﻿Dummy.
﻿Sorry. I have to take it. My client tonight.
﻿I'd rather meet at the station
﻿at about 10:30 p.m., okay?
﻿At the station?
﻿I dunno.
﻿Don't worry, I'll have my car.
﻿Then we'll go somewhere else.
﻿No, something's come up. I can't make it.
﻿Okay?
﻿Fine. I cancelled.
﻿Let it ring.
﻿He'll harass me. I want him off my case.
﻿Why'd you hang up?
﻿We can get together another time.
﻿We 'll work it out.
﻿No. Don't call back. I won't be available.
﻿What are you doing to him?
﻿Nothing.
﻿Nothing special.
﻿Who are you?
﻿- Put Laura on. won't put her on.
﻿She's with me now. Don't ever call again!
﻿Sonofabitch!
﻿Let me calm down.
﻿We can't keep this up. You've had enough.
﻿Naturally, it affects you.
﻿It's my problem. You shouldn't be mixed up in this.
﻿We went completely overboard.
﻿Sorry, it's my fault.
﻿I shouldn't have.
﻿Forgive me.
﻿I'm sorry.
﻿It's okay.
﻿We drank too much.
﻿I have too many revolting images in my head.
﻿When we go out, there's always a moment
﻿when I wonder what you had to do so we could order this.
﻿It's as if each dish
﻿was worth part of your body.
﻿I can't quit my job.
﻿I'm almost retirement age.
﻿And I'm president
﻿of the local Segolene Royal election committee.
﻿It's important to me.
﻿I support her ideas, but I admire her as a woman,
﻿her brains, her mindset.
﻿She'll achieve her goal.
﻿If I can contribute...
﻿Why do you do this?
﻿What?
﻿What attracts you to young women?
﻿Who wouldn't be attracted?
﻿But why do you have to pay?
﻿It's the times,
﻿the society we live in.
﻿It's all for sale.
﻿Organs, sperm, children, everything. So...
﻿pay for my fantasies. It's not immoral,
﻿as long as the girl consents.
﻿I didn't consent last time.
﻿Hey, look...
﻿That was a misunderstanding.
﻿It was for you. You didn't understand that.
﻿Forget about it.
﻿I see it as an exchange of favors.
﻿There's something in it for both.
﻿The buyers, and the bought.
﻿It's free trade, in a way.
﻿In our case, we're consenting adults, right?
﻿I wouldn't go for underage Thai girls.
﻿I have ethics.
﻿I don't hang around school playgrounds.
﻿I have money, I use it.
﻿You use your ass. The score's even.
﻿It's 4 p.m.
﻿Is that Joe?
﻿You followed me?
﻿I can't believe you did that.
﻿I'm your guy, right?
﻿have a right to pick you up after work.
﻿Cut it out.
﻿You're wearing lipstick.
﻿Stay out of this part of my life. It's not me.
﻿I'm with you.
﻿The girl who left the hotel
﻿is not me. You've nothing to do with her.
﻿Sure it's you. I'm no fool. It's you all over.
﻿Don't touch me!
﻿You reek of that geezer's cheap scent and mildewed cum.
﻿You're still seeing that pig.
﻿I thought you wouldn't...
﻿That he made you sick, scared you.
﻿Waiting till he clubs you in the face?
﻿He didn't touch me today, he just talked.
﻿Nothing better to do than listen to some clown's sob stories?
﻿For 200€?
﻿I'll stop seeing him if you want.
﻿It's for you to decide, you idiot!
﻿You're just a kid who sucks cock to buy Diesel jeans.
﻿What'd you say?
﻿I bought jeans once.
﻿The rest goes to pay bills. You know that.
﻿- What's got into you? - Go get fucked!
﻿Wait. Come here.
﻿I'll take care of you. Don't be jealous.
﻿I love you.
﻿Don't be jealous.
﻿Stop it.
﻿Stop.
﻿You're schizzed out, Laura.
﻿I'm sorry.
﻿Forgive me.
﻿Look, it's no good.
﻿I spy on you, I'm jealous.
﻿I'll drive you nuts.
﻿I won't be that way.
﻿We have to stop.
﻿It's over.
﻿I can't do it, in fact.
﻿I'm not up to it.
﻿You can't do that! You can't leave me!
﻿Not after helping yourself.
﻿That's enough.
﻿- Don't treat me that way. - Cut it out!
﻿Free room and board..
﻿You're 30 and do nothing all day. No degree.
﻿You don't know hard times. Don’t judge me!
﻿What are you talking about?
﻿Expect me to work at MacDonald'
﻿20 hours a week for peanuts, and flunk out?
﻿You never even went to school!
﻿You never open a book! You don't work!
﻿Not even to help me out so I can quit!
﻿Help me and I'll stop!
﻿What do others do? You're not the only student on earth!
﻿How do others manage?
﻿Do they all have to suck cock?
﻿You and your studies! How will you look when the truth gets out?
﻿How will I look?
﻿I thought you were special. You're just a spoiled papa's boy.
﻿And you're a whore!
﻿It kept you horny for a while!
﻿What do you want?
﻿My photos.
﻿All the pictures you took of me. I want them back!
﻿What are you talking about?
﻿This is the digital age.
﻿Think I pasted them in an album?
﻿Don't jerk me around. Erase them from your computer.
﻿Why would I do that?
﻿Because I'm asking you to.
﻿Cut it out.
﻿Think your goody-two-shoes look sells?
﻿Your pictures are worthless. They're crap.
﻿Look! That's an ass.
﻿That gives guys a boner.
﻿Not your flat ass and fish face.
﻿I'll pay you back. I swear.
﻿I'll pay it all back.
﻿Erase the photos. That's all I ask.
﻿I'm begging you.
﻿Yeah, right.
﻿Show me how you beg.
﻿Beg some more. You might coax me
﻿with your hot little tits. You like that.
﻿Think you can touch me, asshole! What d'you take me for?
﻿What you are... a whore.
﻿What'd you say?
﻿A whore who can't do much but comes cheap, I hear.
﻿Yeah, it's a small world. Word gets around.
﻿You're a whore, period.
﻿So lay off about your crummy pictures. Now beat it!
﻿I'm so glad to hear your voice.
﻿I've missed you. Really.
﻿You vanish into thin air.
﻿All those emails,
﻿and no answer. I was afraid.
﻿Afraid of what?
﻿That something happened. That you ran into trouble.
﻿I had trouble with a photographer.
﻿A guy who did some erotic photos.
﻿I wanted him to give them back.
﻿He said the whole town knew I was a whore.
﻿He called you a whore?
﻿What a jerk.
﻿Anyway, I'm quitting.
﻿I'm leaving.
﻿I can't stay. I'm going to Paris.
﻿Where in Paris?
﻿I don't know yet. I have to work it out.
﻿No more meetings?
﻿No, it's over. I'm changing my life.
﻿I understand.
﻿I worry about you.
﻿You'll need money. The cost of living is much higher.
﻿I know.
﻿Look, I'll offer you 1000€.
﻿1000€ for five hours with me.
﻿If that could help with the material side.
﻿One last rendezvous. We'll end on a high note.
﻿Even for 1000€?
﻿1000€, Laura...
﻿So... Yes?
﻿Today we'll stay and talk for a half-hour
﻿Then we'll go to a place near the hotel.
﻿It's a club I know. We'll have fun and some pleasure.
﻿Come sit on the bed.
﻿It's a nice place, it gets me hot. Right nearby.
﻿I'd rather not.
﻿I don't want to be seen.
﻿I'd rather stay here.
﻿You know,
﻿I'm very shy and discreet, too.
﻿It's a place for regulars.
﻿It's very dark, no one will see us. Trust me.
﻿We can watch videos. It's exciting.
﻿I've taken women there. There's never been a problem.
﻿I went to a sex shop once.
﻿With my first boyfriend.
﻿For laughs.
﻿It's for fun. It's a change.
﻿Did you bring the things I asked?
﻿Good.
﻿That negligee is very pretty.
﻿Here, put this on.
﻿I can't go out like this.
﻿With what I'm paying?
﻿I leave my stuff here?
﻿Sure.
﻿We have five hours.
﻿- How's it going? - Fine, and you?
﻿Fine, thanks.
﻿Enjoy your afternoon.
﻿Sit down. We'll watch a bit of the film.
﻿You can let him near you.
﻿told him about you. He's harmless. I know him.
﻿Same with him, he's on the level.
﻿Come on. Enough images for today.
﻿Take that off.
﻿For 1000€, you can!
﻿Where are we going?
﻿Come and you'll see.
﻿If it makes you nervous, we'll go back to the hotel.
﻿What're you doing?
﻿Keep going, you'll see.
﻿Calm down, Laura.
﻿For that price, what'd you expect?
﻿Give me my money now.
﻿Go get dressed.
﻿I'll leave the envelope on the bed.
﻿See you Thursday?
﻿See you Thursday, right?
﻿Yes, Thursday.
﻿Leave a message.
﻿As you see, there's only 100€, instead of the 1000€ agreed.
﻿The rest Thursday at 2:00 p.m.
﻿I wanted to be sure saw you before you left.
﻿Trust me, you'll get your money.
﻿Have a good evening.
﻿So that's okay with you?
﻿Of course.
﻿I'll Xerox everything and send it weekly.
﻿- Everything? - Absolutely.
﻿But what about the sections?
﻿You'll need an excuse, or you can't take tests.
﻿It happened to my cousin.
﻿You need a doctor's certificate.
﻿I know.
﻿If it's more, I'll send more.
﻿Don't worry.
﻿Leave a message and I'll call you back.
﻿I delayed my departure, and you stood me up.
﻿Now I've got to take the train, but listen up:
﻿Call me by tonight and send my money,
﻿or I'll call your wife, your boss,
﻿and tell them all about you.
﻿Hear me?
﻿If I don't have word by 7 p.m., I'll call.
﻿Don't worry, I've got the numbers!
﻿Asshole!
﻿Shit, Joe, send that money right away.
﻿I know. Let me explain.
﻿Explain what?
﻿You just took me for a fool.
﻿I want my money.
﻿I'm not at home.
﻿I had a heart attack.
﻿I'm convalescing in the south.
﻿My wife blocked my accounts. No wires.
﻿She must suspect something. No email either.
﻿I don't believe you. It won't work. I want my money!
﻿I'm telling the truth.
﻿I'm very ill.
﻿I have cancer.
﻿won't live long.
﻿What about a check?
﻿Send me a check.
﻿Too risky. I can't leave a trace.
﻿See, you're bullshitting me.
﻿Quit taking me for a jerk! You just mentioned wiring money.
﻿Because of you, I couldn't buy my ticket.
﻿I have to hide in filthy toilets.
﻿Look, I get out of here tomorrow.
﻿We have to meet so I can pay you.
﻿You'll get it, I promise.
﻿I really want to see you again.
﻿We'll meet, okay?
﻿You should've said it was an all-nighter. I worried.
﻿My battery was dead. Let me take a shower?
﻿You didn't shower there?
﻿No, that hotel has no water pressure.
﻿How sleazy!
﻿What're you doing?
﻿- Counting... - The rent.
﻿I'll give it to them.
﻿We need someone full time. That won't work.
﻿We're not offering a student job.
﻿Good luck.
﻿Good luck, 'bye.
﻿I'm calling from a friend's phone.
﻿'m calling from a friend's phone.
﻿You're not dead yet?
﻿Just one last time. And I’ll pay your train ticket.
﻿4000. Laura, think it over.
﻿Leave me alone!
﻿Can you smell it? Lighter than the last.
﻿Sure it is. A bit lighter. You can smell it.
﻿Anyway, Loire Valley wines go with the lighter wines.
﻿Here's Philippe, my wine steward.
﻿Laura, my friend Laura.
﻿That's my daughter's name. Pleased to meet you.
﻿Know how I met her? In the street.
﻿Sitting on a bench.
﻿With cheese? And red meat?
﻿Cheese, game grilled meat with red wine.
﻿Even a light one.
﻿She was looking for a job, and I hired her.
﻿Isn't life wonderful?
﻿So, everything okay?
﻿I'm tasting your wine.
﻿The new one.
﻿But...
﻿I'm still in the dark.
﻿It's not as good as school.
﻿Feel ready for your exams?
﻿He wants the critical analysis
﻿based on the Judeo-Spanish lectures.
﻿I'm so behind. I'm beat. I can't do it.
﻿Goddammit!
﻿Let's eat!
﻿Stop, you can't quit now. Of course you're struggling.
﻿Look, I'll call you back.
﻿Once I finish setting up.
﻿Come eat, Laura.
﻿I don't have time.
﻿Forget school. It's useless.
﻿Just look at us!
﻿Exam results: Applied Languages, 1st year Spanish
﻿It's coming.
﻿Elsa, hurry up.
﻿She doesn't speak Italian.
﻿I don't believe it!
﻿I passed
﻿An "A" in Spanish...
﻿What an ace!
﻿"A-" in composition,
﻿only a "B" in English, but that's okay.
﻿That would've suited me!
﻿Leave a message and I'll call back.
﻿Joe,
﻿it's Laura.
﻿I took my exams.
﻿And I passed.
﻿With an "A" average.
﻿I just wanted you to know.
﻿So what'd they say? They happy?
﻿Yes, very.
﻿Anyway,
﻿you seem to like it.
﻿You like it?
﻿Very much.
﻿I like the feel of it.
﻿No job contract to pad out your file?
﻿Any extra hours besides your waitress job?
﻿You students are something.
﻿Meaning?
﻿Great expectations but slim means.
﻿This terrace is nice.
﻿If I rent to you, we'll drink champagne on the terrace.
﻿Today, would you say categorically
﻿that you had no choice?
﻿You don't say in your book whether since you came to Paris
﻿you've again turned to prostitution
﻿or if you've managed to make ends meet without it?
﻿We’ll respect your silence. Lola.
﻿And thank you for coming to talk about it
﻿here, tonight, on this program.
﻿You're welcome.
﻿Let me remind you: a large number of students
﻿turn to prostitution to pursue their studies.
﻿It is thus not an exceptional phenomenon.
﻿Figures revealed by the student movement in the Spring of 2006
﻿were intended to draw the government's attention
﻿to the students' plight.
﻿According to one organization,
﻿over 45,000 students
﻿live in extreme poverty
﻿and 225,000 struggle to pay for their studies.
