From the 1938 French film "La Bete Humaine" (The Beast) This is the dialogue used in Beirut's "Nantes" at approximately 2:14.
In this scene, the husband (Séverine Roubaud) is trying to caress his wife (Flore), but she has no intention of doing so.
French:
- "Oh non je t'en prie, nous ne sommes pas chez nous."
- "Oh je t'assures que ce n'est pas grave."
- "Non laisse moi!"
- "Mais qu'est-ce que tu as aujourd'hui?"
- "Je sais que les hommes me dégoutent. Vous ne pensez qu'à ça..."
English:
- "No, not here."
- "But I assure you, it doesn't matter."
- "No! Leave me!"
- "What's wrong with you?"
- "Men disgust me. You only think of that (sex). You're all the same..."
