:46:00
terribly afraid,
:46:02
but l was tempted.
:46:05
My stomach hurt.
l was so tempted... and so afraid.

:46:11
l'm boring you, huh?
:46:13
No no no. Not at all, not at all.
On the contrary.

:46:18
l'll get you a drink.
:46:20
That's all.
My uncle never touched me.

:46:23
Anyway, l stayed 'til l was 14.
:46:27
l wondered what l'd do
if he got me in the cellar.

:46:32
l'd be afraid,
but l don't think l'd scream,

:46:36
l don't think l'd struggle.
:46:40
But he didn't do it.
:46:44
No, he didn't.
:46:50
You know, l wanted to ask Thérése
:46:52
when l saw her in the cellar.
:46:56
l wanted to say:
show me your wound.

:47:00
l wanted to have a wound too.
:47:06
l've always been chasing that wound.
:47:09
l must be looking for pity.
:47:14
l'm not a victim.
:47:17
l'm not to be pitied.
:47:19
No one ever hurt me.
:47:23
l'm the one who did the hurting.
:47:27
l'm a fool.
:47:30
Say it!
:47:32
l blew it all.
:47:34
l've soiled everything,
myself included.

:47:40
Since l was 15.
:47:42
l've been a whore
just to imitate Thérése.

:47:49
l sold my children.
:47:51
My husband threw me out.
:47:53
lt's an official document.
