Before jumping she notices an open window and decides to go inside, after getting close to the window she finds it is closed but she smashes it and goes inside anyway.When Joe arrives home to her apartment she hears noises in her bathroom. Armed with a guitar she goes in to find the suicidal Belle lying in her bathtub with a straight razor in her hand about to slash her wrists. Belle is immediately smitten by Joe and talks her allowing her to go to 'Dark Eighties' together, although she still carries the razor around with her. (Note: from this point Joe and Belle communicate with each other in Hebrew, their second language, since Joe cannot speak any French and Belle cannot speak English.)At the club Joe tries to leave Belle behind, but she follows her home again. Once back at Joe's apartment, Joe locks Belle outside, but she knocks on the door continuously until Joe lets her in. When Joe goes out for cigarettes, Belle looks around the kitchen for food but finds a gun hidden inside the microwave oven which she trades for her razor and then goes to sleep on the couch. Joe's ex-boyfriend Matan (Yotam Ishay) arrives at the apartment and mistakes the sleeping Belle for Joe. Belle wakes up when Matan kisses her feet and she pulls out the gun. He tries to talk her into giving him the gun but she just shoots him instead. Joe arrives to find Matan on the ground and she takes the gun from Belle, but when Matan suddenly wakes up she shoots him in shock, killing him.
