Touching lines.

1.
Each month has its own
most infamous disaster event...
engraved in the collective memory.
It's a concept I've been trying to
work on and developing.
It's called disasterology.
Stephane, you are not serious.
Oh, I am very serious.
It's the customer that needs
a little bit of a sense of humor.
2.
PS R:
Parallel synchronized randomness.
An interesting brain rarity
and our subject for today.
Two people walk in opposite directions
at the same time.. .
...and then they make the same decision
at the same time.
Then they correct it,
and then they correct it...
...and then they correct it
and then they correct it...
Basically, in a mathematical world...
...these two little guys will
stay looped for the end of time.
The brain is the most complex thing
in the universe...
...and it's right behind the nose.
Fascinating!
3.
Stephane, Stephanie.
Stephanie, Stephane.
4.
I knew it. I knew it!
Each structure has its own resonant
frequency.
You just have to hit the right chord
at the right time.
5.
Dear Stephanie, comma.
I am just your neighbor,
there is nothing more to say than that.
This is the reason why I am writing
a letter to you...
...because I feel really bad inside
my stomach.
It's a mix between...
I don't know if what I feel is a bit
of nostalgia.. .
...or wanting to go to the bathroom.
I am just a new liar in your life.
A new liar that has come
and destroyed your piano...
...and maybe by doing that destroy
the huge heritage...
I want us to start a new start
and a new...
A new blank page of friendship.
And if you can embrace that the same
way I am embracing it right now...
...that I am feeling it right now,
I see the possibilities...
...once we go above that threshold
of life...
and matters that succumb
and become trickling down
...into this little pond
that is called life.
Full stop. The end.
6.
Do you know what REM means?
Rapid Eye Monitronics.
Your eyes follow your dream movements.
If you walk downstair,say,
Your eyes go down. Turn right-the eyes go right.
It's in your dream,
your eyes art walking.
The eyes.
I can control my eyes in my sleep.
No more sleeping slavery.
7.
I know. I will make your novel,
I am Just Your Neighbor, into a bestseller.
That will attract her.
Then we'll organize a massive wedding.
Madame Stephanie Stephane.
Stephane Miroux, your novel
I'm Just Your Neighbor and a Liar.
By the Way, Do You Have Zo?s Number?
Is a blockbuster.
Yeah.
Where does your genius end?
Painting, sculpturing,
architecturing, writering?
Today, building has began on the
Stephane Miroux Foundation.
A museum dedicated to your work.
So, Stephane Miroux,
did you find the key to success?
Well...
Well, I think people empathize
with what I do...
...because it comes from here.
Oh, you are talking about Stephanie?
Oh, I don't like to talk
about my private life.
So, Stephane Miroux,
we have a little surprise for you to do.
No.
A song for her.
A song?
If you rescue me
I'll be your friend forever
Let me in your bed
I'll keep you warm in winter
All the kitties are playing
And they're having such fun
I wish it could happen to me
But if you rescue me...
8.
I am collecting beautiful objects.
A pair of shoes.
Some glasses.
Telephone.
Typewriter .
They are made from wood and felt.
With apparent stitches.
Their delicate and finished
appearance is friendly.
And they are quiet.
Stephanie made them, and I will
expose them in an exhibition.
Stephanie, do you think I could
take the red blanket as well?
Of course, Stephane. Are you kidding?
There's this amazing blanket.
It's thick, red felt
with big white stitches.
Wild animals are running on it.
She smiles.
I bend over a rock to try to reach her.
My stomach, compressed, hurts.
Stephanie?
Can you hold my hand?
I cannot sleep.
She takes it. I fall asleep.
9.
Hey, what's this?
It's the...
Is it your mom's?
No. That's the one-second time travel
machine I told you about.
I finished it. For you.
You wanna try it?
10.
Good.
Hey, you take the glue gun, and I'll try this.
No, no, no.
Why don't we,
why don't we do the scene...
...when you walk
into the apartment...
...and you discover the pony, yeah?
Yeah. Okay.
Yeah?
Okay. So come, come, come.
You must be... Okay. Yeah, there.
Oh, wait.
All right, okay, you're there.
So basically you're just
walking into the apartment...
...and you discover
that the pony can run.. .
...and you feel very excited, and...
Ready? And action.
Damn it, Stephane,
you've ruined my pony.
Why did you do that?
Cut. What are you doing?
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
No, you should be ecstatic about me.
You should be, like,
praising my ingiue and genius.
11.
Hello?
Stephane?
Are you okay?
I love my pony.
I can't believe you did that.
How did you do it?
I'm sorry about what I said.
I didn't mean one word.
No...
Okay?
No, I'm a creep.
Just like you said.
Listen, Stephane.
You have to toughen up a little.
It's not attractive for a girl
to see a guy crying.
I know, it sucks.
You know I named
Golden the Pony Boy after you.
No, come on. Come on.
It's not true. You had him
before we met.
No, no, it is true.
I improvised his name when
you saw him for the first time.
He didn't have a name.
Now, tell me how you did it.
Golden is galloping for real.
It's unreal.
Well...
It's just an application
of the chaos theory.
Random control.
Each leg has one engine...
...and it moves backwards
or forwards depending on...
...the movement on the other leg.
It's like life.
But in a simplified version.
And it doesn't reproduce.
I'm glad we live
next door to each other.
Will you...
Would you marry me when we're 70?
You've got nothing to lose.
Okay.
Would you mind...
...keep on talking to me
for a little while?
Because I always thought
it was possible to talk from my sleep.
I feel that I'm falling down
into a black hole.
You know that you could never see
someone fall in a black hole.
Because the image of the traveler
who passes the horizon...
...would slow down till it would remain
stuck in the same position...
The state he was
when he crossed the line.
Only it's getting redder.
The traveler gets crushed into spaghetti.
I don't wanna be a spaghetti,
I don't wanna be spaghetti.
No, you won't be a spaghetti.
I don't wanna be a spaghetti.
Stephane?
Are you here?
No, I'm there! I'm there.
It worked! I'm not a spaghetti!
Tell me, tell me. Describe all you can see.
I feel some grass under my feet.
And it's a bit windy.
And cold. And damp.
And there's forest all around me.
And I can see Golden the Pony Boy.
Galloping here. Here, right in front of me.
And I can hear some water.
But I cannot see it.
Oh, here it is. The river.
Is the water made of millions
of tiny pieces of cellophane?
No, it's real water.
Oh, look. I just found the time machine.
The time machine is here.
And it works.
Stephane, are you asleep?
