It doesn't even show the time.

Where did you steal this watch?
It's not your business.
Give it to me, or I will denounce you.
No, it is mine.
Oh, you speak German? You will be useful, my boy.
Yes, but... how much?
And you have studied, too. What a great find, this Ludovic.
Who told you my first name?
I know everything.
Mr. Obersturmbannführer Goldberg
what did you do in Avenue Foch, 1943?
Leave me alone, horrible kid.
All movement on a plain surface that is not driven by physical necessity
is a spatial affirmation of oneself
be it building an Empire, or tourism.
Everyone can do something so that there is no God.
But what has changed today is that the assholes are sincere.
A-L-I-S-S-A
Stop being suspicious of everything.
I'm thinking about what Ludovic has told us.
Alright... what, for example?
The old man with the young girl.
I have seen them speak to the Captain.
Alright... and so?
So, the name of the largest shareholder of the company
Goldberg
Mountain of Gold
Yes... it's the name of the old man.
Alright...

Did you know that kamikaze, in Japanese
means divinity of the wind? - Of course.
Major Kamenskaia. I am a friend of your godmother, Alexandra Irinivna.
Yes, exactly, the old chief of the Moscow Police.
I have read a number of books...
I have read a number of books on what she has written.
So... I think that we should talk.
And you think you will stay in Haifa?
I will see.
They say there's a right to return. For me it would be... to get away.
In Stanford, what are you studying, exactly?
I'm directing a seminar. Monetary creation and literary creation.

The Spanish Civil War
The Republicans tell the Comintern
to evacuate the gold of the Bank of Spain.
The France-Navigation company, exactly.
When they reach Odessa, one third, one fourth has disappeared.
And another third in Moscow.
Regarding the first third, I have my idea.
For the last third
you would have to dig deep into the communist archives.
Art... and the knife. War. So it's...

I do not understand.
To understand, Mr. Goldberg, that is difficult.
I don't care about the Spanish gold that you have made disappear.
I only have to find the rest.
There's no need to fear Moscow anymore.
My only true mission, Mr. Krewitzky...
Ah, what fortune.
My grandmother would say that as a Yes and as a No.

Geometry as origin
The origin is always what one returns to.
There has been, for decades, especially in Mathematics
a return of Geometry.
The idea is not that Geometry would return to its origin
but rather that we return to Geometry, as origin
and participate in the return of Geometry.
The poor things.
They have for themselves only the name that we impose on them.
There's nothing more convenient than a text.
We have only books to put into books.
But what if we have to put reality into a book?
And what if we have to put reality into reality?

dialectical thought is quite simply a way of using analytical thought
insofar as it is part of a whole, insofar as it denies this whole
insofar as the whole includes it, conditions it and denies it
insofar as, by consequence, it is both positive and negative

Listen... after the reception of Daguerre by Agaro
at the Academy of the Sciences, a mostly British armada
even though long before the Declaration of Lord Balfour
rushed towards Palestine.
This is one of the first photographs of the Bay of Haifa.
So... Otto Goldberg, Leopold Krewitzky, and even Moishe Schmücke
according to their passports.
But one pronounces Richard Christmann...
The French knew him well since he was working
for the German counter-espionage, and for their own.
He begins in the Foreign Legion in Spain
then joins networks of the Résistance in occupied Paris
on behalf of the Abwehr.
After the defeat of the Germans, he still belongs to the rest
of the Organisation Gehlen ... the Algerian FLN
and finally Tunis, representative of Bayer and Rhône-Poulenc.
Multiple assassination attempts. Acquitted twice.
Like Henri Déricourt.
No, that's another story.
War criminal, maybe not.

Her friend wants to buy it. They know it. I don't.
I know bookkeeping, yes.
France is facing today the largest risk in its history.
One has to know how to say "We" Before one can say "I"
A drama that we debate, in the hope that we can end it.
A tragedy? Not at all. Everything remains neat.
Everything remains among us. We ignore each other.
Wars everywhere, for the last fifty years.
We see ourselves in war like in a mirror.
One can buy time.
It needs courage in order to think.
Love your neighbor? Ridiculous.
You would have to love yourself enough
to not do bad to your neighbor.
Today that becomes impossible.
If you follow the law or if you break it...
Don't say all this, dad.
And I ask you: Why don't you love us?
Ideas separate us. But dreams bring us closer...
No, nightmares.
Because there's love and pride in the blood of the father...
and thus hate.
So what have you found today to piss us off?
I love my brother, first of all. We've just debated brotherhood.
And liberty. - Liberty, before.
And once the hour of equality comes I will speak to you of shit.
Okay, Flo. But why don't you love us?
Excuse me, Miss... Excuse me? Miss, hello..
We want to go to the Cote d'Azur. Is this the right direction?
Are we on the right way to the Cote d'Azur?
Straight? Left? Right?
Unbelievable. Scheiss French! - Scheiss France!
Ach, Germany.
Go, mother... Go, mom...
Yes. To keep space and time intact, I have lied.
I neglect to live them. That's a bit unfair.
But for me, that seems to be the way I do it.
I always think that I'm elsewhere - Forget it.
and that no particular moment has any importance. - Forget it.
Nothing else?
There's a figure, the mother.
For her, it doesn't matter if she has a life at all.
If one considers the fact to have a life as a fact by itself.
She will never ask herself, not once, if she is still alive.
She will never have the idea to just ask herself
why and how she exists.
After all, she is not aware that she is this figure
because she is never, not for a single moment
separated from her role. She doesn't know that she has one.
The blood of the mother, full of hate...
loves and remains.
Is this Garage Martin?
Flo, what do we have to tell them?
We don't speak to people who use the verb "to be".
Are you working here? Yes, but I don't have a contract.
Lets speak to your parents.
BALZAC LOST ILLUSIONS
I'm leaving. I'll return to the Midi.
And our comrades?
It will be them who decide.
They will come.
It's for the elections.
I'm filming... - Forget, my dear, forget.
We have an appointment with them. - Forget it, madam.
Only two or three minutes for a declaration.
Who will present it? - But forget it, forget it.
But your parents have made an appointment.
What parents? - We're not making this up.
No, he wanted to say: What kind of parents?
Mr. and Mrs. Martin, they are not your parents?
Please don't use the verb "to be".
I don't understand anything at all.
So? - They're not picking up. - Give it to me.
It's not surprising that they all have mobiles
to say that they are not there.
Excuse me... to say that they have no time.
They really seem to have a problem...
Finally... use the verb "to have".
Everything will be better in France.
Did you find that in Balzac, Flo?
Florine. If you make fun of Balzac, I will kill you.
Please, Mr... two or three short questions. - No.
Please, two questions. - No.
One and a half hours late.
Had this project been carried out the way it was initially planned
it would have, without a doubt, given France a lasting advantage
with regards to the digitization of books.
But it's failing dramatically.
Mr... do you want me to wait for you?
No... you will pick up the Prince at the airport
and then return to the office.
So?
So... the presidency
"la", not "le"
We'll see. - It's been seen.
Nothing at all. And our convention? It's the 4th of August today.
Flo is right. We'll have to wait a bit.
The show is at 7 pm. We will still have to do some editing.
Ten minutes. I will take care of it.
Can I film while we're waiting?
Nothing at all.
Why don't we present ourselves at the elections? Florine and I.
Not mama or papa.
They're dreaming. Children don't have the right
to participate in elections, not even on the regional level.
Yes, yes, yes... but children are part of the people.
And it exists, the will of the people.
We have paid 30% of France's debt. Because you've grown old.
Exactly the sum of profit that the insurance companies
make of the debt.
And the beautiful dress, can I film it?
Yes, why not.
I'm listening.
Today it's not so good. I had forgotten that.
They're both born on the same day.
On every birthday Jean-Jacques and me
we'll accept a debate with them, based on democratic principles.
And it's them who direct it?
More of less. We have signed a convention.
But that's great. We have to film that.
We're working at night. We're doing what we can.
We're giving what we have.
How long is this going to take? - 24 hours. It's their right.
So either you wait, or you come back tomorrow.
We're waiting. We're waiting.
I will borrow Catherine's car and I will be back in a bit.
We have to take care of the Garage.
Oh shit.
Be careful, mom.
Yes... all of you... I'm able to mess you up.
I will also attack the sun if one day it attacks me.
I do not have my heart in my mouth.
Ah? Are we moving to America now?

When I speak to myself I speak the words of someone else

No, dad... from here. - Yes. So?

The other is oneself. Oneself is in the other.
And these are the three figures. - We are four.
There's the law. But you have rights. At least say it.

I count as my friends
those who disapprove of my actions but not of my existence.
I'm still smiling
but there hasn't been a reason, for a long time.
My words enter... They make a mess.
I stay like this. I've had enough.
Language enters...
The mouth shuts up. It has to form a straight line now.
It's done. I've made the image.
Almost all, mathematics, television...
There are almost as many as there are numbers.
I don't understand... why television?
Today, the nervous system becomes a natural resource.
So in my humble opinion, Africa is once more out of luck.
But has not become history. One used to think that.
It doesn't change the fact that there will always be assholes.

Don't you think so?

Yes? Yes... Yes, yes, 5 pm.
Do you think this will take long?
It'll be soon.
As I said, I don't have any control.
You've heard it. 5 pm.
It'll work out.
Jean-Jaques will leave you some space? - I hope so.
Ask him if he has a program.
And the unions? What are they saying?
We'll see. They'll say he's right, but then they won't do anything.
Anyway, there's nothing to say.
To show, above all. To show the possible. That's all.
What, for example?
Not by making it readable. By showing it.
Do you want more power?
No power at all. A society, not a state.
Excuse me, Florine, I don't get it.
The dream of the State is to be one.
The dream of the individual is to be two.
Lets go, hurry up!
What is she talking?
Make up your mind about what it is that you're struggling for
because you might well obtain it.
What's this story?
Be cautious, dad!
You're also wearing a string, like mom?

It would be better to say: Barcelona will welcome us soon.
What time is it?
