:05:00
Funny, isn't it,
:05:03
how people can seem madly in love
when they're not?

:05:06
It must be easy to fake.
:05:11
He said I went to his head
like Cointreau.

:05:14
I guess he got tired of Cointreau,
so he went to make a phone call.

:05:18
Phone who?
:05:19
I never found out. He never came back.
:05:22
The restaurant had a back door,
which I didn't know,

:05:26
so I waited for him till closing time.
:05:31
The manager lived upstairs.
:05:33
His room smelled greasy.
:05:35
But he had soft, gentle hands.
:05:38
Hands are tricky.
They can make you believe anything.

:05:42
That's how I got my first job,
:05:44
as a hostess at his place.
:05:47
What does a hostess do?
:05:50
At first, she welcomes people
:05:54
and smiles at everyone.
:05:56
As far as jobs go, it's a no-brainer
:05:58
but you know
how smiles give people ideas

:06:01
and Limoges is so full of lonely men.
:06:03
You can't imagine!
:06:05
The judge said it has
the most depressed people in France.

:06:09
Which judge?
:06:10
He comforted me
when they closed the place

:06:13
because of the hostesses.
:06:15
He was depressed, too.
:06:19
Not that he comforted me for long.
:06:22
Not even 1 5 minutes.
:06:24
In a hotel room
with no pillows, TV or curtains.

:06:28
But he wasn't that bad.
:06:30
When he saw I was crying,
:06:33
he gave me his hankie.
:06:35
Then he left.
:06:42
Maybe it's all I deserve.
:06:45
It must be the law of nature.
:06:47
Some people are born to be happy.
I get conned every day of my life.

:06:56
I believe every promise I hear.
:06:59
I've never achieved anything.
