I´ll wait for the next one

English translation for the french short film "J'attendrai le suivant."

I´ll wait for the next one

Ladies and gentleman, good evening.

I am sorry to bother you.

I know that many people go around these days

asking for stuff

So, have my apologies and allow me to introduce myself

My name is Antoine. I´m 29.

Don´t worry, I´m not here to beg for money.

I´m here tonight because I read in a magazine

that here, in France, there are 5 million single women.

Where are they?

I´ve been living alone for 3 years now.

I´m not ashamed, but I must admit that I´m tired

of spending my evenings in front of a microwave

or watching stupid tv shows.

That´s not a life to be lived.

I tried the internet but I was stood up

so I´m not doing that anymore.

I´m a computer programmer and

I make some decent cash. 2600 euros a month...

I like sports

and I do well at cooking.

It´s ok, you can laugh... you can laugh

but I believe in happiness.

And all I´m looking for is a woman,

or a young woman,

between 18 and 55,

who hasn´t been able to find anyone either

and who would like to share her feelings

with someone else in an honest relationship

There you have it, so...

if anyone´s interested, please

get off discretely

at the next station

and I´ll join you at the platform.

Why would you say that, mate?

Stay single!

I´ve been married for 5 years
to a real pain in the ass!

If you like I´ll give you her phone number!

Go ahead, talk to her!

But don´t come crawling back to complain!

That´s very kind of you, sir,

but I don´t want someone else´s wife.

Not without her consent.

She´ll be ok with it! I´m sure of it!

She just wants money, and you´ve got it, right?

I´m looking for love, sir, not a commercial arrangement.

You´re in big trouble then, mate

you´ll spend all your life on this metro!

Please forgive this gentleman,

who I believe never experienced love before.

... fag!

Ok, it´s enough... it´s enough.

Ladies, I´ll repeat my offer.

If some of you share my views on love...

Please get off the train.

Ma'am, It was only a sketch...

If you liked the show,

any contribution would be most welcomed.
