1
00:00:10,394 --> 00:00:15,388
<i>Father's Day. My son wiping the saliva
that escapes my closed lips.</i>

2
00:00:15,554 --> 00:00:19,832
<i>We have never before fitted this made-up
holiday into our emotional calendar.</i>

3
00:00:24,354 --> 00:00:27,869
[singing]

4
00:00:32,674 --> 00:00:37,907
Claude says the book's going well.
I can't believe you're writing it.

5
00:00:38,714 --> 00:00:40,909
I still think you're the most
surprising man I've ever known.

6
00:00:42,354 --> 00:00:44,345
Have you had lots of visitors?

7
00:00:48,474 --> 00:00:50,465
Laurent, Anne-Marie...

8
00:00:52,794 --> 00:00:53,988
...Michel...

9
00:00:55,194 --> 00:00:58,186
That's it? She hasn't?

10
00:01:00,714 --> 00:01:03,375
I thought she was supposed
to be madly in love with you.

11
00:01:03,475 --> 00:01:04,707
Well, that's her business.

12
00:01:11,074 --> 00:01:13,542
Shall we practice that alphabet?

13
00:01:58,354 --> 00:02:01,426
When I began a diet a week before my stroke

14
00:02:01,634 --> 00:02:07,106
...I never dreamed of such dramatic results.

15
00:02:10,034 --> 00:02:17,543
Now they know what it's like to have a
zombie for a father. Thank you.

16
00:02:17,754 --> 00:02:18,903
That's not amusing.

17
00:02:19,114 --> 00:02:20,672
Kids.

18
00:02:22,674 --> 00:02:24,392
You want to play Hangman, dad?

19
00:02:26,554 --> 00:02:28,749
I'll help you. Whisper a word.

20
00:02:30,274 --> 00:02:34,552
The first letter is a C, the last an E.
The word has 7 letters.

21
00:03:18,274 --> 00:03:23,029
# Le kangourou a saut� le mur #

22
00:03:23,234 --> 00:03:25,668
# Le mur du zoo #

23
00:03:25,874 --> 00:03:30,709
# Mon Dieu qu'il �tait haut #

24
00:03:30,914 --> 00:03:36,068
# Mon Dieu qu'il �tait beau. #

25
00:03:36,234 --> 00:03:36,814
That's it.

26
00:03:36,914 --> 00:03:39,943
- Say goodbye to your
dad, kids. We're leaving.

27
00:03:40,154 --> 00:03:41,428
Bye, dad.

28
00:03:43,394 --> 00:03:44,509
Bye, dad.

29
00:03:52,674 --> 00:03:55,871
Bye dad. See you next week.

30
00:04:22,994 --> 00:04:25,667
<i>It's hard to describe my grief.</i>

31
00:04:25,954 --> 00:04:32,587
<i>I'm their father, but I can't touch them,
run my fingers through their hair...</i>

32
00:04:32,794 --> 00:04:36,309
<i>...and hug them tight.</i>

33
00:04:36,514 --> 00:04:41,872
<i>But I like to see them play and laugh.</i>

34
00:04:43,634 --> 00:04:46,546
<i>That's what I call a wonderful day..</i>

35
00:04:50,914 --> 00:04:53,633
<i>I feel sorry for myself, don't you think?</i>

36
00:04:54,554 --> 00:04:56,226
You were genuinely happy.

37
00:04:57,634 --> 00:04:58,828
<i>You think so?</i>

38
00:05:00,074 --> 00:05:01,473
<i>Perhaps.</i>

39
00:05:08,594 --> 00:05:12,667
<i>I don't want to miss this.
Step aside!</i>

40
00:05:17,874 --> 00:05:19,361
Enjoy. See you.

41
00:05:19,362 --> 00:05:22,584
<i>- Yeah, see you. What are you doing??</i>

42
00:05:28,394 --> 00:05:33,548
<i>I want TV-meals.
Or shall I go out for dinner?</i>

43
00:05:34,514 --> 00:05:39,793
<i>I will treat myself to a feast at Le Duc.</i>

44
00:05:49,874 --> 00:05:54,186
What a coincidence to find you here.
- Isn't that amazing?

45
00:05:54,394 --> 00:05:56,191
An oyster?

46
00:06:35,994 --> 00:06:39,873
It seems like it was just yesterday
when I first heard your name.

47
00:07:59,154 --> 00:08:00,382
Sweet.

48
00:08:04,154 --> 00:08:05,712
No compliments.

49
00:08:09,274 --> 00:08:10,946
And the next chapter?

50
00:08:11,154 --> 00:08:14,544
<i>Sunday. I dread Sunday.</i>

51
00:08:15,554 --> 00:08:17,198
<i>When they turn the TV on,</i>

52
00:08:17,298 --> 00:08:20,150
they have to make sure
they're doing it right.

53
00:08:20,354 --> 00:08:22,185
<i>That is very strategic.</i>

54
00:08:23,394 --> 00:08:28,673
<i>It can take hours until
the next good Samaritan comes by.</i>

55
00:08:29,314 --> 00:08:32,943
<i>Horrible, these Sundays.
No speech therapists, no psychotherapist.</i>

56
00:08:33,154 --> 00:08:37,466
<i>No physiotherapist, no visitors.
A skeleton staff.</i>

57
00:08:37,674 --> 00:08:39,949
<i>Sunday is a long stretch of desert.</i>

58
00:08:40,154 --> 00:08:44,989
<i>But today, Marie nobly suggests
she takes me to mass.</i>

59
00:08:45,194 --> 00:08:50,063
<i>I have tried to explain to her that I am not
a religious man, but without avail.</i>

60
00:08:50,274 --> 00:08:52,746
<i>All over the world
people are praying for me.</i>

61
00:08:52,846 --> 00:08:54,904
Top of the list is my daughter, C�leste.

62
00:08:56,194 --> 00:08:57,707
<i>And Marie, of course.</i>

63
00:08:59,514 --> 00:09:02,904
<i>The most diverse deities
have been enlisted to help me.</i>

64
00:09:03,314 --> 00:09:06,386
<i>In Nepal, I'm told,
they chant a mantra for me.</i>

65
00:09:07,034 --> 00:09:11,664
<i>In Cameroon holy man has procured
for me the goodwill of Africa's gods.</i>

66
00:09:12,394 --> 00:09:14,385
<i>I have assigned him my right eye.</i>

67
00:09:15,554 --> 00:09:20,150
<i>I can't deny that I have attempted to
organise this vast spiritual energy...</i>

68
00:09:20,354 --> 00:09:22,231
<i>...to support my existence.</i>

69
00:09:22,434 --> 00:09:27,747
<i>It may not be admirable, it may even be
a touch hypocritical, but I'll try anything.</i>

70
00:09:36,274 --> 00:09:38,105
I'm very pleased to see you here.

71
00:09:39,154 --> 00:09:41,445
I came to visit you a
few days ago. I brought

72
00:09:41,545 --> 00:09:43,784
the Blessed Sacrament
to give you Communion.

73
00:09:43,994 --> 00:09:45,632
But you were asleep.

74
00:09:47,114 --> 00:09:49,503
<i>Yes, he was asleep.
- What?</i>

75
00:09:49,714 --> 00:09:52,425
<i>Would you like me to give
you Holy Communion now?</i>

76
00:09:52,525 --> 00:09:52,786
- No.

77
00:09:54,834 --> 00:09:54,911
Yes.

78
00:09:55,011 --> 00:09:56,506
- Would you like me to
say a blessing over you?

79
00:09:56,714 --> 00:09:58,670
<i>No.
- Yes.</i>

80
00:09:59,594 --> 00:10:01,808
Heavenly Father, have
mercy on Jean-Dominique,

81
00:10:01,908 --> 00:10:03,109
who is cruelly afflicted.

82
00:10:04,554 --> 00:10:09,503
Help his body to heal,
keep his spirits buoyant,

83
00:10:09,714 --> 00:10:12,353
<i>and help him to find faith.
- My spirit is very buoyant, mister.</i>

84
00:10:12,554 --> 00:10:16,069
<i>In the name of the father...
- You made a fool of me.</i>

85
00:10:29,554 --> 00:10:30,623
Fa?

86
00:10:34,754 --> 00:10:35,948
Father?

87
00:10:55,954 --> 00:10:57,273
There are...

88
00:10:57,474 --> 00:11:02,673
<i>Father, there are monks in Bordeaux who
regularly dedicate their prayers to me.</i>

89
00:11:02,874 --> 00:11:05,468
...who regularly dedicate
their prayers to me.

90
00:11:06,274 --> 00:11:10,711
Do they, that's good.
- But the results have been unremarkable.

91
00:11:10,914 --> 00:11:12,332
We must be patient.

92
00:11:12,333 --> 00:11:14,589
<i>- Yes, the doctors say that, too.</i>

93
00:11:14,794 --> 00:11:17,752
But Jean-Dominque,
I want to suggest something to you

94
00:11:17,954 --> 00:11:21,344
In a few weeks time, I shall be
leading a pilgrimage to Lourdes.

95
00:11:21,554 --> 00:11:22,509
<i>Lourdes?</i>

96
00:11:22,714 --> 00:11:25,672
Dear Beatrice and I thought you
might want to be part of it.

97
00:11:25,874 --> 00:11:26,557
<i>This is a trap.</i>

98
00:11:26,558 --> 00:11:28,149
- There have been
some miraculous cures.

99
00:11:28,354 --> 00:11:29,261
That's true.

100
00:11:29,262 --> 00:11:31,152
<i>- I've been to Lourdes.</i>

101
00:11:56,674 --> 00:12:00,428
Let's stop and return.
- I am not turning back.

102
00:12:00,634 --> 00:12:02,784
Hit's my car, I'll drive where I like.

103
00:12:02,994 --> 00:12:05,986
You said you wanted a dirty weekend.
- I never said that.

104
00:12:06,194 --> 00:12:06,917
Yes you did.

105
00:12:07,017 --> 00:12:10,506
Lourdes is not the right
place for a dirty week-end.

106
00:12:10,714 --> 00:12:13,069
You've got a one-track mind.

107
00:12:15,314 --> 00:12:17,350
I want to see the Madonna.

108
00:12:19,554 --> 00:12:23,786
I don't believe in any of this.
- I want to see her and drink holy water.

109
00:12:23,994 --> 00:12:25,586
Spare me this.

110
00:12:27,674 --> 00:12:30,586
You should do that too.
It will be good for you.

111
00:12:36,674 --> 00:12:38,471
Imposing, hm?

112
00:12:41,714 --> 00:12:44,308
I'll buy some bottles for the holy water.

113
00:13:06,554 --> 00:13:12,106
That's it for me. I'm leaving.
- Stay. It could do you a lot of good.

114
00:13:12,314 --> 00:13:15,511
Don't be so sure, it might be dangerous.

115
00:13:15,714 --> 00:13:17,984
What if someone in perfect
health happened to be here when

116
00:13:18,084 --> 00:13:18,823
the Madonna appeared?

117
00:13:18,923 --> 00:13:20,549
One miracle, and he'd end up paralyzed.

118
00:13:20,754 --> 00:13:22,233
You are terrible.

119
00:13:23,354 --> 00:13:25,470
Hello.
- Good day, madam.

120
00:13:25,674 --> 00:13:28,347
Look! Here's my Madonna!

121
00:13:30,794 --> 00:13:35,948
Forget it.
- Yeah, get out of my life.

122
00:13:37,234 --> 00:13:40,226
Okay, I'll give it to you as a present

123
00:13:41,714 --> 00:13:46,344
Madame has a wonderful eye.
This Madonna been blessed by the Cardinal.

124
00:13:46,554 --> 00:13:49,591
Do we have more 318's?
- Look in the storage.

125
00:13:49,794 --> 00:13:53,070
How much is that?
-1899 franc.

126
00:13:58,434 --> 00:14:02,063
Don't we know each other?
- I don't think so, Mister.

127
00:14:04,674 --> 00:14:06,346
I don't have change.

128
00:14:08,594 --> 00:14:11,890
I can't make love to you
with her looking at me.

129
00:14:11,990 --> 00:14:13,031
- I understand.

130
00:14:13,754 --> 00:14:16,745
I wasn't stating a fact,
I was making a complaint.

131
00:14:16,845 --> 00:14:17,986
Let me turn her off

132
00:14:19,314 --> 00:14:20,463
No.

133
00:14:22,834 --> 00:14:26,747
The only one in the whole world.
Blessed by the Cardinal.

134
00:14:29,194 --> 00:14:33,392
Josephine, when we get back to Paris
we're going to have to split up.

135
00:14:34,834 --> 00:14:38,588
Because of her?
- No. Because of everything.

136
00:14:40,514 --> 00:14:43,506
Ok, you're right.

137
00:14:55,674 --> 00:14:59,383
I'll go out again.
- Turn off the lights.

138
00:15:01,674 --> 00:15:03,505
But not my Madonna.

139
00:16:33,754 --> 00:16:35,392
La - la - la -. Come on, Jean-Do.

140
00:16:39,954 --> 00:16:43,629
If you learn the L sound
you'll learn to swallow.

141
00:16:43,834 --> 00:16:46,029
And you'll learn to say Lourdes.

142
00:16:54,394 --> 00:16:57,272
Is that okay?
Is it comfortable?

143
00:17:12,954 --> 00:17:16,742
<i>'The Pressure Cooker' could be
the title of the piece...</i>

144
00:17:16,954 --> 00:17:20,230
<i>...I'm writing about my experiences here.</i>

145
00:17:20,434 --> 00:17:23,983
<i>I could also call it 'The Eye'
or 'The Diving Bell'.</i>

146
00:17:24,194 --> 00:17:26,708
<i>Plot and location are well known.</i>

147
00:17:26,914 --> 00:17:30,543
<i>In a hospital room, there's Mr. L,
at the climax of his life...</i>

148
00:17:30,754 --> 00:17:36,306
<i>...trying to live with locked-in syndrome
after a serious stroke.</i>

149
00:17:36,514 --> 00:17:41,065
<i>Ambitious and somewhat cynical,
because he didn't know failures before...</i>

150
00:17:41,274 --> 00:17:44,710
<i>...becomes acquainted with misfortune.</i>

151
00:17:44,914 --> 00:17:48,190
<i>We his slow transformation
listening to a commentarial voice...</i>

152
00:17:48,394 --> 00:17:50,988
<i>...which tells the inner monologue of Mr. L.</i>

153
00:17:51,194 --> 00:17:54,186
<i>I already have the last scene.
It's night.</i>

154
00:17:54,394 --> 00:17:57,306
<i>Mr. L, who was paralysed since
the beginning of the piece...</i>

155
00:17:57,514 --> 00:18:02,713
<i>...suddenly jumps out of his bed
and runs over the darkly lit stage.</i>

156
00:18:02,914 --> 00:18:08,466
<i>Then it gets dark again and we hear
Mr. L's commentarial voice:</i>

157
00:18:08,674 --> 00:18:10,107
<i>Fuck, it was a dream.</i>

158
00:18:39,074 --> 00:18:41,986
Stand up. I can stand up.

159
00:18:42,194 --> 00:18:44,150
Everything is alright.

160
00:19:23,874 --> 00:19:27,105
'I want to remember how all this happened
to me.'

161
00:19:27,314 --> 00:19:29,032
Shall I ask someone?

162
00:19:35,114 --> 00:19:36,103
No?

163
00:19:44,074 --> 00:19:47,032
Hello, room 119.
- Who's that?

164
00:19:49,674 --> 00:19:53,110
I'm Claude Mendibil.
I'm sitting with Jean-Do.

165
00:19:53,314 --> 00:19:55,352
<i>This is his father speaking.</i>

166
00:19:55,353 --> 00:19:57,785
- Yes, we were expecting your call.

167
00:20:01,754 --> 00:20:04,587
So what do I do? Just talk?

168
00:20:05,674 --> 00:20:08,905
<i>Jean-Do can hear you.
He will answer you.</i>

169
00:20:09,074 --> 00:20:12,695
<i>You'll hear me saying
the alphabet and...</i>

170
00:20:12,696 --> 00:20:14,546
- Yes, C�line told me.

171
00:20:17,794 --> 00:20:20,945
<i>Just talk, Monsieur Bauby.</i>

172
00:20:21,114 --> 00:20:22,752
Can he hear me?

173
00:20:24,674 --> 00:20:28,110
Jean-Dominique? This is Papinou.

174
00:20:31,034 --> 00:20:34,629
<i>I'm sitting at the open window.</i>

175
00:20:37,034 --> 00:20:40,424
<i>How are you or is that a fool question??</i>

176
00:20:53,074 --> 00:20:55,065
Yes, it's a fool question.

177
00:20:58,794 --> 00:21:00,386
I miss you.

178
00:21:14,954 --> 00:21:16,706
<i>I miss you, too.</i>

179
00:21:19,354 --> 00:21:23,108
God Almighty! This is an impossible way to
conduct a conversation.

180
00:21:23,314 --> 00:21:28,069
Everything goes out of my mind.
No, no, I've remembered.

181
00:21:29,194 --> 00:21:34,188
<i>I'm sending you a present.
It's a surprise.</i>

182
00:21:38,674 --> 00:21:40,107
<i>I had a thought....</i>

183
00:21:41,354 --> 00:21:45,393
...about us. We're in the same boat.

184
00:21:45,594 --> 00:21:53,069
I'm stuck in this apartment.
I can't get up and down the stairs.

185
00:21:53,354 --> 00:21:58,348
<i>You try four flights of stairs
when you're ninety-two years old.</i>

186
00:22:00,314 --> 00:22:03,989
<i>we're both locked-in cases.</i>

187
00:22:04,194 --> 00:22:09,109
<i>You in your body and me in my apartment.</i>

188
00:22:09,314 --> 00:22:11,703
Jean-Dominique, remember,...

189
00:22:11,914 --> 00:22:17,068
...in the top right-hand drawer of my
writing desk there's a letter..

190
00:22:17,234 --> 00:22:23,070
In it are my last wishes. It's in a file...

191
00:22:28,354 --> 00:22:30,663
...marked 'Miscellaneous'.

192
00:22:35,354 --> 00:22:37,345
<i>I must stop now.</i>

193
00:22:51,514 --> 00:22:55,427
Don't cry.
- That's easy to say.

194
00:22:55,634 --> 00:22:58,512
You're my son for Christ's sake.

195
00:22:59,754 --> 00:23:01,665
Good-bye, Jean-Dominique.

196
00:23:03,194 --> 00:23:06,231
I forgot, it's almost your birthday.

197
00:23:07,834 --> 00:23:09,392
<i>I'll call again.</i>

198
00:23:11,074 --> 00:23:13,065
<i>Happy Birthday.</i>

199
00:23:55,954 --> 00:24:01,631
<i>It can't be easy for a father to speak
to a son who he knows will never reply.</i>

200
00:24:20,514 --> 00:24:23,631
I thought an outing with
a new vista would do you good.

201
00:24:25,314 --> 00:24:28,989
I have another surprise for you.
Close your eyes.

202
00:24:30,114 --> 00:24:33,151
Close your eyes.

203
00:24:39,074 --> 00:24:40,905
Okay, now open them.

204
00:24:41,074 --> 00:24:42,632
THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO

205
00:24:42,834 --> 00:24:46,873
<i>That was not necessary.
In two volumes.</i>

206
00:24:47,074 --> 00:24:50,589
It's not a first edition,
but it's pretty old.

207
00:24:54,114 --> 00:24:57,584
Would you like me to read something to you?
Which chapter?

208
00:24:58,794 --> 00:25:03,345
<i>We should use Roman digits.
We didn't think of Roman digits.</i>

209
00:25:03,554 --> 00:25:05,988
<i>What would it be in Roman digits?</i>

210
00:25:06,194 --> 00:25:09,903
<i>That's L, I, X.</i>

211
00:25:10,954 --> 00:25:14,230
<i>That's faster. Next time.</i>

212
00:25:14,714 --> 00:25:18,184
<i>50? Higher?
- Yes, higher.</i>

213
00:25:20,634 --> 00:25:22,465
Nine? 59? Ok.

214
00:25:23,754 --> 00:25:26,268
Ok, there we go.

215
00:25:26,474 --> 00:25:30,547
<i>There's even an illustration.
The coincidence frightens me.</i>

216
00:25:31,114 --> 00:25:33,708
'They sat down beside him.'

217
00:25:34,834 --> 00:25:39,828
<i>'Noirtier was sitting in a wheelchair where
they put him from morning till evening...</i>

218
00:25:39,994 --> 00:25:44,067
<i>...in front of a mirror which allowed
him to see the whole apartment...</i>

219
00:25:44,274 --> 00:25:45,666
<i>without attempting any movement:</i>

220
00:25:45,766 --> 00:25:48,062
this was something that had
become impossible for him.

221
00:25:49,354 --> 00:25:52,152
Sight and hearing were
the only two senses...

222
00:25:52,354 --> 00:25:56,472
...which, like two sparks,
still lit up this human matter.'

223
00:25:57,234 --> 00:26:00,112
'...this human matter.'

224
00:26:01,234 --> 00:26:03,987
<i>That's me, don't you think?</i>

225
00:26:05,034 --> 00:26:07,025
<i>But no.
- But yes.</i>

226
00:26:07,234 --> 00:26:10,351
<i>I frighten people, make them shudder.</i>

227
00:26:11,634 --> 00:26:12,672
You don't.

228
00:26:12,673 --> 00:26:15,946
<i>- I should have stayed away from Dumas.</i>

229
00:26:16,154 --> 00:26:19,988
<i>Don't tamper with a masterpiece.
That's the lesson.</i>

230
00:26:21,754 --> 00:26:25,110
<i>I didn't know Noirtier was the man
I was going to become.</i>

231
00:26:26,754 --> 00:26:30,508
<i>My diving bell has dragged you down
to the bottom of the sea with me..</i>

232
00:26:30,714 --> 00:26:36,266
Jean-Do, I don't find it so bad that you
drag me down to the bottom of the sea...

233
00:26:36,474 --> 00:26:39,068
...because you are also my butterfly.

234
00:26:40,554 --> 00:26:42,988
<i>That's a declaration of love.</i>

235
00:26:44,754 --> 00:26:47,348
<i>After we finish this book...</i>

236
00:26:47,474 --> 00:26:51,069
<i>...we'll write another one about
a long-distance runner.</i>

237
00:26:51,274 --> 00:26:53,504
<i>You never know.
Perhaps I'll become like him...</i>

238
00:26:56,034 --> 00:26:58,628
'I missed you at the bullfight.

239
00:26:58,834 --> 00:27:02,110
I hope we meet again next year.
Jean-Paul.'

240
00:27:02,274 --> 00:27:04,549
Le Tango, N�mes.

241
00:27:15,074 --> 00:27:20,353
'Dear Mr. Bauby,
the customized campmobile...

242
00:27:20,554 --> 00:27:27,551
...can be delivered six to eight
weeks after your order.

243
00:27:27,754 --> 00:27:30,905
Yours sincerely, Henri Raynaud.'
That's good news.

244
00:27:33,994 --> 00:27:35,825
This is from Papinou.

245
00:27:42,914 --> 00:27:44,791
'This is a present.'

246
00:27:47,594 --> 00:27:50,552
Look, a photo of you as a kid.

247
00:27:52,514 --> 00:27:55,028
Jean-Do, aged eight, Berck sur Mer.

248
00:27:59,394 --> 00:28:00,873
From Anne-Marie.

249
00:28:05,074 --> 00:28:08,623
Jean-Dominique Bauby's room.
- Who are you?

250
00:28:08,834 --> 00:28:10,904
C�line Desmoulins. And you?

251
00:28:11,754 --> 00:28:16,270
<i>In�s. I want to speak with Jean-Do.</i>

252
00:28:17,994 --> 00:28:19,222
One moment.

253
00:28:22,554 --> 00:28:25,466
I turned the speaker on, so he can hear you.

254
00:28:25,674 --> 00:28:28,984
<i>I can't speak with you there.</i>

255
00:28:29,194 --> 00:28:33,153
You have to, there's no one else.

256
00:28:33,314 --> 00:28:34,651
<i>Isn't the therapist there?</i>

257
00:28:34,652 --> 00:28:35,987
- No, she's not here today.

258
00:28:44,794 --> 00:28:45,863
<i>Darling?</i>

259
00:28:48,634 --> 00:28:53,788
<i>I know I said I'd come but I got as far as
the train station and then turned back.</i>

260
00:28:54,874 --> 00:28:56,387
<i>I just can't.</i>

261
00:28:57,474 --> 00:28:59,544
<i>Please forgive me.</i>

262
00:29:03,634 --> 00:29:04,588
<i>C�line?</i>

263
00:29:04,589 --> 00:29:05,352
- Yes.

264
00:29:05,514 --> 00:29:11,191
<i>Can't you just go out for a moment?
I have personal things to say.</i>

265
00:29:11,394 --> 00:29:12,628
<i>I feel embarrassed.</i>

266
00:29:12,629 --> 00:29:13,862
- I can't leave him.

267
00:29:14,074 --> 00:29:17,828
There's nobody else.
Wait, he wants to say something.

268
00:29:21,034 --> 00:29:22,433
O?

269
00:29:26,674 --> 00:29:27,868
One?

270
00:29:36,074 --> 00:29:38,030
One minute?

271
00:29:38,234 --> 00:29:40,907
I'm leaving. But not for long.

272
00:29:47,234 --> 00:29:50,271
<i>Jean-Do, are you alone now??</i>

273
00:29:53,874 --> 00:29:55,148
<i>Darling...</i>

274
00:29:56,474 --> 00:29:58,510
<i>I love you more than ever.</i>

275
00:30:00,514 --> 00:30:03,472
<i>I want to see you but I haven't the courage.</i>

276
00:30:05,394 --> 00:30:07,589
<i>I want to think of you as you were.</i>

277
00:30:10,154 --> 00:30:11,587
<i>I hope you'll recover.</i>

278
00:30:13,714 --> 00:30:15,750
<i>I miss you.</i>

279
00:30:16,274 --> 00:30:20,506
<i>I miss you and I feel so alone.</i>

280
00:30:22,074 --> 00:30:24,304
<i>I know you understand.</i>

281
00:30:27,434 --> 00:30:29,743
<i>You're in my thoughts all the time.</i>

282
00:30:36,594 --> 00:30:40,143
<i>I know your family is always with you.</i>

283
00:30:45,114 --> 00:30:47,025
<i>Do you want me to come?</i>

284
00:30:48,314 --> 00:30:49,088
I'm back.

285
00:30:49,089 --> 00:30:50,828
<i>- Do you want me to come?</i>

286
00:30:51,034 --> 00:30:53,506
<i>Do you want me to come?</i>

287
00:30:53,507 --> 00:30:55,312
- I'm back, In�s.

288
00:31:26,834 --> 00:31:28,153
Every...

289
00:31:44,274 --> 00:31:46,230
Every day.

290
00:32:02,754 --> 00:32:04,426
Every day I'm...

291
00:32:25,714 --> 00:32:27,989
Every day I'm waiting for you.

292
00:32:28,274 --> 00:32:30,629
<i>I can't understand you.
Could you repeat that?</i>

293
00:32:31,594 --> 00:32:33,152
<i>I can't understand you.</i>

294
00:32:35,514 --> 00:32:38,108
He said: I'm waiting for you every day.

295
00:33:43,474 --> 00:33:48,628
If I don't get a seat on this plane,
I will miss my connection to Hong- Kong.

296
00:33:51,954 --> 00:33:54,673
Take mine.

297
00:33:55,074 --> 00:33:58,066
I'll take the next flight.
- Thank you.

298
00:33:58,914 --> 00:34:00,267
Have a good trip.

299
00:34:05,154 --> 00:34:08,305
But you're not going to Hong Kong
you are going to Beirut.

300
00:34:20,794 --> 00:34:23,513
Anything wrong? You don't feel good?

301
00:34:23,954 --> 00:34:26,229
Don't worry.

302
00:34:33,954 --> 00:34:36,120
<i>Most times I forget my dreams.</i>

303
00:34:36,220 --> 00:34:39,392
People who tell you
their dreams are tiresome.

304
00:34:40,514 --> 00:34:43,950
<i>But this one comes again and again.
I don't know why.</i>

305
00:34:44,834 --> 00:34:46,552
<i>I'm afraid.</i>

306
00:34:47,594 --> 00:34:51,269
<i>The feeling of doom wouldn't leave.</i>

307
00:34:51,474 --> 00:34:55,513
<i>It took what I can only describe as
a miracle to lift my spirits.</i>

308
00:34:57,914 --> 00:35:00,445
<i>It's dangerous to believe
in personal miracles.</i>

309
00:35:00,545 --> 00:35:02,669
<i>They tend to make one
feel self-important.</i>

310
00:35:02,874 --> 00:35:08,153
<i>Nevertheless, I must report that I believe
something miraculous did occur</i>

311
00:35:08,994 --> 00:35:11,508
<i>I began to sing.</i>

312
00:35:12,994 --> 00:35:15,792
<i>I grunt, I sing.</i>

313
00:35:16,954 --> 00:35:20,833
<i>My hearing isn't great and sometimes
I think I hear my heart beating.</i>

314
00:35:21,034 --> 00:35:24,344
<i>But I tell myself it's the sound
of butterfly's wings.</i>

315
00:35:24,514 --> 00:35:29,065
<i>Yes, I am making indomitable progress and
I may even have butterfly hearing.</i>

316
00:35:29,274 --> 00:35:32,949
<i>I can look forward to the future.
Soon the summer will come to an end...</i>

317
00:35:33,154 --> 00:35:35,952
<i>...and I will begin my first
autumn in this hospital.</i>

318
00:35:38,114 --> 00:35:39,433
<i>My life is here.</i>

319
00:35:40,354 --> 00:35:42,106
<i>An everlasting repetition.</i>

320
00:35:43,594 --> 00:35:44,913
<i>Here.</i>

321
00:35:45,874 --> 00:35:47,751
How goes it?

322
00:35:49,634 --> 00:35:50,589
He's speaking!

323
00:35:51,554 --> 00:35:54,352
You're speaking.
- He can sing a song, too.

324
00:35:54,914 --> 00:35:59,351
Come on, sing for Laurent.
- Please, for me.

325
00:36:06,674 --> 00:36:10,952
<i># Le kangourou a saut� le mur
Le mur du zoo #</i>

326
00:36:11,874 --> 00:36:15,628
<i># Mon Dieu qu'il �tait haut
Mon Dieu qu'il �tait beau #</i>

327
00:36:17,514 --> 00:36:19,345
Are you ok?

328
00:36:19,554 --> 00:36:22,068
Does he sing?
- No, he doesn't.

329
00:36:40,954 --> 00:36:42,353
<i>I have pneumonia.</i>

330
00:36:45,274 --> 00:36:47,424
<i>Just when I thought...</i>

331
00:36:59,994 --> 00:37:04,399
<i>Like a sailor who watches
the shore gradually disappear.</i>

332
00:37:04,499 --> 00:37:06,229
<i>I watch my past recede.</i>

333
00:37:07,194 --> 00:37:10,311
<i>Becoming ashes of oblivion.</i>

334
00:37:25,514 --> 00:37:27,232
<i>What a comeback.</i>

335
00:37:27,834 --> 00:37:29,288
<i>That's where I worked.</i>

336
00:37:29,388 --> 00:37:33,306
<i>And that couple, I know them,
but I can't remember their names.</i>

337
00:37:34,794 --> 00:37:36,625
<i>That's my car!</i>

338
00:37:37,234 --> 00:37:39,190
<i>My new car.</i>

339
00:38:51,714 --> 00:38:53,625
Where is the horn?

340
00:39:36,394 --> 00:39:39,306
Let me hug you.
- See my car?

341
00:39:39,514 --> 00:39:41,266
Lovely.

342
00:39:43,994 --> 00:39:45,746
Everything ok, Th�o?

343
00:39:46,194 --> 00:39:48,025
Had a good week?

344
00:39:48,314 --> 00:39:52,990
Are we going to a theatre?
- To a theatre? If you want to.

345
00:39:53,194 --> 00:39:56,903
Can we have oysters?
- Do you like oysters now?

346
00:40:01,714 --> 00:40:03,750
Don't bring him back too late.

347
00:40:06,274 --> 00:40:08,105
We are leaving.

348
00:40:09,754 --> 00:40:13,872
Can I get in the front?
- Sure, there's no room in the back.

349
00:40:20,674 --> 00:40:23,427
Soon I will take you too.

350
00:40:24,074 --> 00:40:26,429
A little bit of wind?

351
00:40:39,674 --> 00:40:43,269
Your team ok?
- Yeah, the players are ok.

352
00:40:43,474 --> 00:40:49,583
You take a shower afterwards?
- We shower and wash our stuff.

353
00:40:49,794 --> 00:40:53,469
Got pubic hair around your willy?
- No, not yet.

354
00:40:53,674 --> 00:40:59,146
We had one guy who didn't
want to undress for the shower.

355
00:40:59,354 --> 00:41:04,792
The club said he had to.
There was a fight.

356
00:41:05,634 --> 00:41:10,424
He didn't do it.
His mother appeased him.

357
00:41:11,194 --> 00:41:15,312
In the end,
he had to leave the team.

358
00:41:18,474 --> 00:41:22,149
You don't have that problem, do you?

359
00:41:25,714 --> 00:41:29,593
Other news? Everything ok with mom?
- Yeah, she's ok.

360
00:41:29,794 --> 00:41:33,423
You know this way?
- Yes, it's the way to Aunt Diane.

361
00:41:35,074 --> 00:41:37,144
It's hot. You feel that, too?

362
00:41:38,594 --> 00:41:40,664
No, I don't.

363
00:41:44,394 --> 00:41:45,793
We have...

364
00:41:47,434 --> 00:41:49,152
We have...

365
00:41:59,274 --> 00:42:04,587
It might start to rain.
I'll stop for a moment.

366
00:42:21,074 --> 00:42:23,463
Dad, what's the matter?

367
00:43:13,914 --> 00:43:16,064
Phone your mother!

368
00:43:17,834 --> 00:43:22,430
My last thought was we'll have to cancel
going to the theatre.

369
00:43:22,594 --> 00:43:27,622
We'd be late in any case.
We'll go tomorrow night.

370
00:43:28,634 --> 00:43:30,829
And then I sank into a coma.

371
00:44:09,234 --> 00:44:11,350
Is it a book?

372
00:44:21,514 --> 00:44:24,506
For Th�ophile, C�leste and Hortense.

373
00:44:24,674 --> 00:44:27,871
I wish them lots of butterflies.

374
00:44:30,314 --> 00:44:32,908
And my deepest gratitude
to Claude Mendibil.

375
00:44:33,114 --> 00:44:38,347
You'll understand that without her
this book couldn't have been written.

376
00:45:09,114 --> 00:45:10,627
I was here the whole time.

377
00:45:11,154 --> 00:45:12,428
You know that.

378
00:45:15,594 --> 00:45:18,745
These reviews are terrific!
You want to hear them?

379
00:45:18,914 --> 00:45:23,112
The man who dictates in silence.
Without gestures or speech.

380
00:45:23,314 --> 00:45:28,104
Jean-Dominque Bauby communicates
with an eyelid and writes this book.

381
00:45:28,314 --> 00:45:33,468
A touching visit at the
wreckage of abandonment.

382
00:45:33,634 --> 00:45:35,113
By Bernard Chapuis.

383
00:45:35,714 --> 00:45:37,545
'A touching book.'

384
00:45:44,114 --> 00:45:47,320
Jean-Dominique Bauby,
43 ans, journaliste r�put�,

385
00:45:47,420 --> 00:45:49,347
p�re de famille, homme libre...

386
00:45:49,554 --> 00:45:52,785
...projetait d'�crire un roman
sur la vengeance au f�minin

387
00:46:00,114 --> 00:46:03,504
Jean-Dominique Bauby
died on March 9, 1997...

388
00:46:03,714 --> 00:46:07,673
...10 days after the publication of
'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly'.

391
00:46:52,314 --> 00:46:54,024
Couldn't find English subs,
so I created them myself

392
00:46:54,025 --> 00:46:56,347
using an English version of the
script and several online dictionaries

393
00:46:56,555 --> 00:46:58,142
But as a German, I'm no
English native speaker

394
00:46:58,143 --> 00:47:01,047
so please excuse any misspellings or other
flaws. Hope you enjoyed as much as I did.
