Josephine Returns

We are at the Juda again. We stand there watching her hold someone hostage in the elevator for 10 minutes and then decide that such an event needs to be recorded on film. Xavier plays her game too well. After 30 seconds of watching her say her bogus 'goodbyes' and 'see you soons' (all quickly interjected by herself with her own running commentary on a different subject entirely), Xavier feels compelled to drive the action forward. He calls my name, loudly, "EMILIE!" You see her reaction. She jumps, as if she has been caught doing something she really shouldn't be doing. And then she quickly closes the elevator door, furtively (with no goodbye...after all that!).

"Qui c'est qu'appelle?" (Who's calling?) She demands, thinking it is the neighbor below. "Vincent?" She calls to him.

She shrugs her shoulders, befuddled and discomfited, the white topped mushroom, and saunters back into her domain.

Here she is, for the first time, in action.

La Fille Triste



Walking along, we found her. She was just sitting there, looking so glum. I had to sit by her - sometimes I know just how she feels.

Louise

Louise is pure charm. Here she is recounting the tale of when she went to a petting farm and saw a family of rabbits - a mother with her little babies.

Breathlessly, Louise marvels: "C'etait comme dans la vie sauvage !" (It was like in wildlife!)

At the end of the clip, Louise is describing the mother rabbit, who leaves and her little baby jumps after her (this is where, in her enthusiasm, Louise does a very fine rabbit imitation).
