(Birds chirping)
(Siren wailing in distance)
(Clock ticking)
(Door opening)
(Horns honking in distance)
- Hmm?
Well, well...
Who's that hiding there?
(Grunting)
Ah! That's interesting.
- Mm-mmm.
- No?
- What secret, Grandpa?
- Oh, my dear.
It's a very old story
(Dogs growling)
Then we'd steal what we could
would scatter us like flies.
And when it got cold,
I'd find an abandoned apartment
The woman was always in a rage.
Her husband was a sickly fellow
who died in childbirth.
- You spied on them?
Should I stop?
Every day, she'd yell:
(Muffled voices)
"We must endure," he'd say.
(Weeping)
Then, before anyone was awake,
It was like she was ashamed.
Maybe.
Maybe I could reach them.
They glowed, perfect and round.
They tasted...
like salt...
like tears.
- Don't judge, my love.
Remember, I was just a child.
- What did you do with them?
"I didn't steal it," I said.
I told him the whole story.
He didn't believe a word of it.
I pulled out the second pearl.
"I'm not lying," I said.
I could see the wheels turning.
"A matching pair. Hmm...
Very, very rare."
"Easy now. Silence!
I need to get these checked."
"What does that mean?"
"It means get out!
"Come back tomorrow.
"with your little fairy tale.
Out!"
Perfection."
"From the South Seas?
"Perhaps...
"No.
"They smell like the sea,
said the pawnbroker.
"You won't believe me."
and the girl who cried pearls.
Instead, his face grew serious.
"Hold on.
"Wait right there."
said the pawnbroker.
"You believe in this nonsense?"
said the jeweller.
"I put my faith in money.
"Pearls of sorrow?
"But I can offer you this.
"I know your type.
Good day to you, sir."
"They're not worth much.
I'll give you a dollar apiece."
I'd never seen so much money.
I promised I could.
That night, she did not cry
and there were no pearls.
but I refused the money.
"Because I love her," I said.
"I don't want her to be sad."
"What?
"You idiot! You fool!
You have a choice," he said.
as if she thought some prince
I was scared.
(Bell tolling in distance)
She did not cry that night...
or the next, or the next.
But on the seventh night...
(Girl crying)
"No. No, it's not enough.
I broke her heart," I said.
"Yes, OK.
"But she's not dead.
"Here.
Enough to change my life.
"Well done, my boy.
"You won't regret it.
"You did what had to be done.
We're cut from the same cloth."
I lived like a king that day.
I bought fancy new clothes
(Girl crying)
I had one thought.
I got down to business.
In return for the pearls,
Then we would trade box for box.
Cash, not trinkets.
"I can give you that. Yes."
Even his gold was fake.
He was getting desperate.
"You can't pay?
"Wait, wait," he said.
said the pawnbroker.
You won't regret it."
(Man shouting in distance)
The jeweller was astonished.
"Monsieur, over here!
Do you know what this is?"
"These?
"Oh, it's the newest thing.
"It's from Japan.
It's called plastic."
Plastic.
he was just as lonely as I.
And that was how I tricked him.
I kept one as a souvenir.
And I never did.
- Hang on, hang on, hang on.
You made it all up?
That's your big secret?
- But the girl,
did she even exist?
