Les Dames du Bois De Boulogne : Robert Bresson











You're here.
In time perhaps you'll forgive me.

But don't hurry.

So many honest girls become dishonest women.
Perhaps I'll show the opposite can happen.

I'm not yet worthy to have you come close to me.

Wait.
Just leave me a little hope.
Then you can judge my behavior.

I'll be happy if you can bear my presence.
Show me a corner of your house where I can live.
I'll stay there without protest.

I'm not evil.
I know myself.

I was weak.
And I was in love with you - that's my only excuse.

I lacked the courage to tell you the truth.
Remember the letter you wouldn't read?
It wasn't pleasant.

You can forget me.
I won't trouble you anymore.
It will be easy.


Hold on to life with all your strength.
Hold on to me!
I love you. You can't leave me!
Try to hold on! Fight!


I am fighting.

You're my wife. I love you.
Stay with me!

I'll try.

That's an order.
You can't disobey!
Stay with me!


I will stay.
