- It? What it?
- You know. It. Your flower.

:16:06
My flower?
My flower is none of your business.

:16:10
I ask you because some people,
they rush toward the fateful moment,

:16:14
the body is bursting to discover.
:16:16
Others, they guard it like some
precious gift, and they wait and wait.

:16:20
- You, I suppose, rushed?
- Like a bull.

:16:23
- I have a picture in my mind. Very clear.
- A young bull.

:16:26
- How young?
- 13.

:16:28
13!
:16:31
No, you are right. I was 12.
Magda. She was a putain.

:16:35
A prostitute.
She lived just outside of my town.

:16:39
Just by a little bridge. She was not
beautiful, but she had this mouth...

:16:45
There was another world waiting there.
:16:47
But I did not have the money for
the kissing, only for the... you know.

:16:52
- I don't understand.
- To kiss a prostitute, it costs more.

:16:56
That makes sense. A kiss is so intimate.
:17:00
You could probably disconnect
from everything else, but a kiss...

:17:04
Two people's lips together,
their breath, a little bit of their soul.

:17:14
All I mean is that
a kiss is where the romance is.

:17:17
That is what I thought back then.
:17:19
So the next day, I stole 50 francs
from my brother Antoine.

:17:22
I went back and kissed Magda
for half an hour. It was very good.

:17:28
Now you.
:17:30
- Now me what?
- Your turn. I tell you. Now you tell me.

:17:34
I am all ears.
:17:36
All right, yeah.
:17:38
No, I didn't...
:17:40
I didn't rush. You were right.
But I didn't hide from it either.

:17:43
I wanted it to be great. I was...
:17:46
18.
:17:48
Jeff the jock.
My basement. Valentine's Day.

:17:52
Jeopardy! in the background.
:17:55
- It's a game show on TV.
- Jeopardy! We have it.

:17:59
Jeff said it would last longer
with the show on to distract him.
