Back to serious matters.
:57:10
Once a month, bank messengers
carry small fortunes.

:57:15
Attacking them on the street
is common and risky.

:57:18
And one might catch cold.
:57:20
Best to work at home,
by appointment.

:57:24
Oh, Mr Lacenaire.
:57:25
So I rent an apartment,
and when the bank messenger calls...

:57:30
He gets the message.
:57:32
You catch on so quickly, Avril.
:57:36
You don't look that strong.
:57:38
- I'm not strong.
- But back there...

:57:41
I had a rough childhood.
I learned to defend myself.

:57:46
- You were unhappy?
- When I was, I slept.

:57:49
I dreamed,
but people don't like that.

:57:52
So they beat me
to wake me up a little.

:57:57
Luckily, my sleep was heavier
than their blows,

:58:01
and I fled them in my sleep.
:58:03
Yes, I dreamed,
:58:06
hoped, waited.
:58:10
For you, maybe.
:58:12
- Even back then?
- Why not?

:58:15
I surely saw you in my dreams.
:58:17
Stop smiling.
:58:19
By throwing me that flower
you may have awakened me for good.

:58:23
You're a funny fellow.
:58:26
You're so beautiful.
:58:29
No, I'm just alive.
:58:31
The most alive of all.
:58:32
I'll never forget this night
and the light in your eyes.

:58:35
Just a glimmer,
like everyone else.

:58:38
Down there,
:58:40
look at the lights
of Menilmontant.

:58:46
People sleep and wake.
:58:49
Each has a glimmer
that glows and fades.

:58:52
It's nothing much.
:58:55
I can't even find the room
I lived in with my mother.

:58:59
In Menilmontant?
