- Tell me.
- Fine.

:24:04
Read out loud.
:24:06
- Why?
- To see what it's like.

:24:09
- No. You read.
- Why?

:24:11
To see what it's like.
Go on, read.

"The Skirt".

"A man, one Sunday,
suggests to his wife

:24:24
that they visit the rue St Landry."
:24:26
"Everyone knew
it was the whores' street."

:24:29
"Jocelyne also knew
but she agreed to go."

:24:33
"However indifferent, the girls
seemed amazed to see this man

:24:37
strolling past them with his wife,
inspecting them from head to foot."

:24:42
"She, the wife, followed."
:24:45
"Saying nothing,
she also looked at them."

:24:49
"All at once,
the unbelievable happened."

:24:52
"He stopped by a rather alluring
redhead. Dressed in black. "

:24:57
"He spoke briefly to her and.
without further ado. went upstairs. "

:25:02
"In three words.
He asked Jocelyne to wait. "

:25:05

"Witnesses to her humiliation. The girls
displayed neither irony nor spite.

:25:13
Neither pity nor compassion. "
:25:16
"Jocelyne wandered aimlessly
for a while. "

:25:19
"Then. In a fit of faintness.
She lent against a wall. "

:25:23
"She didn't even want to cry.
Or to hide. "

:25:27
"Her eyes betrayed a serene despair
which invited tenderness.

:25:31
For a man who was passing
stopped before her. "

:25:34
"He looked into her eyes
for a long time. "

:25:37
"She tried to move away
but he'd taken her arm.

:25:40
Rather bossily.
And was leading her away. "

:25:44
Go on...
:25:47
"He took her through a dark doorway,
up a narrow staircase."

:25:51
"She was in a hotel room."
:25:53
"She saw neither walls. Nor
shabby wallpaper nor furniture. "

:25:58
"She sat on the bed and
bent her head towards the carpet. "
