La vie d'Adèle: Chapitre 1 et 2

Ad?le:
You don't love me anymore?

Emma:
You still need some practice.

Ad?le:
I'll give it all I've got.

Emma:
Why are you lying?

Ad?le:
I'm not lying.

Emma:
Then why are you crying?

Ad?le:
I'm not crying.

Thomas:
It wasn't good?

Ad?le:
Yes. It was great.

Emma:
It's nice here.

Ad?le:
[nods]

Emma:
A little too nice?

Ad?le:
I guess so.

Emma:
I was big on Sartre in high school.

Ad?le:
Really?

Emma:
It did me good. Especially in affirming my freedom and my own values. And the rigorousness of his commitments. I agree with it.

Ad?le:
Sort of like Bob Marley. Almost.

Emma:
[laughs] I'm not so sure of it.

Ad?le:
I'm almost sure of it. Their ideas are similar. You know "Get Up, Stand Up"?

Emma:
Yeah I know it.

Ad?le:
He's committed.

Emma:
[Nodding in agreement] It's true.

Ad?le:
Same as Sartre. A philosopher, a prophet, same thing.

Ad?le:
He's not the problem. I'm missing something. I'm all messed up. I'm crazy.

Emma:
But I have infinite tenderness for you. I always will. My whole life.

Ad?le:
I miss you. I miss not touching each other. Not seeing each other, not breathing in each other. I want you. All the time. No one else.

Ad?le:
I am happy. I'm happy with you, like this. It's my way of being happy.

Ad?le:
You're talking crap in front of everyone! I'm not a lesbian!

Valentin:
What the hell?

Ad?le:
Why tell everyone we went to a gay bar? Why the f*** would you do that?

Valentin:
It's not the end of the world...

Ad?le:
It is! They all think I'm a lesbian, eat p*ssy, and check out her ass!

Emma:
Enjoying philosophy?

Ad?le:
[laughs] I love it. It's incredibly enriching. Very interesting. Very deep. Orgasm precedes essence.

Emma:
Your grade better be good.

Ad?le:
Give me a grade.

Emma:
Fourteen.

Ad?le:
Fourteen? Just fourteen?

Emma:
[laughs] You still need some practice.

Ad?le:
I'll give it all I've got.

Emma:
Something to say?

Ad?le:
I don't know.

Emma:
What?

Ad?le:
I wanted to know, when was the first time you tasted...

Emma:
Tasted a sausage?

Ad?le:
Tasted a girl.

Emma:
A girl? You mean kiss or taste?

Ad?le:
[chuckles] Kiss. To start with, then we'll see.

Emma:
I was fourteen. Sometime around then. There was a party, all the girls had guys. I went out with Louise - that was her name, Louise. We didn't kiss at the party, but... I invited her to sleep over. That's when we kissed.

Ad?le:
Have you always preferred girls?

Emma:
I tried both. I dated guys, girls, and I realized I preferred girls. For sure.

Emma:
What's your name?

Ad?le:
Ad?le.

Emma:
Pretty name, Ad?le.

Emma:
Ad?le means something in Arabic. I think it means mmmm... [thinking]

Emma:
Sun.

Emma:
[Ad?le nodding] Hope.

Emma:
[Ad?le nodding] Love.

Ad?le:
[laughing] It means justice.

Emma:
"Existence precedes essence."

Emma:
Nothing happens by chance.

M?re Emma:
Shall we toast? [pauses] To love.

Emma:
[laughing] To love.

Ad?le:
To love.

M?re Emma:
Welcome Ad?le.

Ad?le:
Big words. To love.

M?re Emma:
Yes, to love, my love.
