That's for sure!

Sorry, it's all I had.

But I saw her!
She even kissed me.

It was just a dream.

It wasn't! She was here.
I touched her.

Listen, pumpkin,

sometimes we think
what happened in the night

really happened.

Don't you believe Mum was here?

Calm down first.

I am calm!
Why aren't you in Tokyo?

I didn't go.

To live my life.

What life have you been living?

Stop eavesdropping, you old bag!

Bruno, please listen to me.

Bruno, please listen to me.

Bruno!

Bruno...

- Come without your new pal?
- I left because I love you.

Wait for an audience
to say funny stuff.

- I don't want to laugh alone.
- I couldn't go on.

- I don't want to laugh alone.
- I couldn't go on.

I'd have stopped loving you.

Have you started?

Have you started?

When you think
you might stop loving someone,

you've usually already started.

I wouldn't have lied.

You're not making sense.

Must be the jet lag.
It's tiring.

It's tiring.

I'm tired too.
I'm off to bed.

You think
you can leave for 2 months

you can leave for 2 months

then come back
just because I found out?

What's the game, Marianne?

What's the game, Marianne?

You wouldn't listen to me.
I had to make you.

You wouldn't listen to me.
I had to make you.

You can't make me do anything!

How could you leave the kids?

With their dad? I thought
he'd do as good a job as me.

With their dad? I thought
he'd do as good a job as me.

By changing his priorities.

François took away a client.
It happens to women all the time!

It happens to women all the time!

How did you feel? Angry?

Fewer and fewer people
work more and more.

The others have no work.

What do we do?

I have kids and ambition too.

I can't change the system.

You can. From within.

You can. From within.

Want me to get a womb transplant?

You know what I mean.
Working like before Tokyo.

Not secretary's hours.

They look after their kids!

You're an exec.
I've been patient.

- She should be!

If women stayed at home,
kids would be well behaved

and there'd be
12 million more jobs.

They're my children.
Don't you understand?

They're my children.
Don't you understand?

If you want to see them,
you should be a teacher.

You have a problem,
you find a solution.

I had them all cut.

That's efficiency for you.

They're all cut?

Yes, they stuck out.

Hélène chose them.

She carried them in

Impressive, huh?

- You can't read them!
- Oh dear! You sound like Hélène.

- You can't read them!

I don't read,
I'm a businessman!

Good authors, bad size.
So, snip!

Besides, reading is for losers.

Should I decapitate my wife?

Do what you like.
A couple's like a company.

We have a strategic dinner.
You'd better be there.

I won't go then.

- Are the kids asleep?
- You remember you have some?

I even remember the man
I made them with.

Incredible!
But you hardly ever see him.

Incredible!
But you hardly ever see him.

- He's very attractive.
- Not as much as your job.

I'm allowed to love my job.
Get used to it.

I'm allowed to love my job.
Get used to it.

And this pace is temporary.

Good job.

Good job.

Or your husband will be temporary!

A message from
the ex-invisible man?

No! Just my final word.

Do sit down.

Why this restaurant?

It's the place
everyone's talking about.

You can bring your gun.
How practical!

Hello?

Yes, Louise.

They won't go to bed?

No, she isn't a snitch.
Love you, honey.

Bruno, I'm with clients!

I'm here with my mates
for Pancho Villa's birthday.

Don't treat me like your secretary!
"Do this, I'm busy."

Don't treat me like your secretary!
"Do this, I'm busy."

Well, I am busy!
I still have a job.

But I might not for much longer.

I can't give up now
after all my hard work.

Prefer to abandon your family?

Send the kids a photo
so they know who their mum is.

They already do.
They've seen only her since birth.

They've seen only her since birth.

They know she refuses
to speak to them.

Louise called you.
You're their father.

Aren't you allowed kids in finance?

Aren't you allowed kids in finance?

They should've said.
We could've had you neutered!

That's how you want to play it?

I want a divorce.

And since the kids
are hindering your career,

are hindering your career,

I want custody too.

How's that sound?

You need a degree now
to put a dress on!

After what you did to Bruno,
you've got some making up to do!

Where does my head go?

It's your fault for trying
to change things!

and you ruin things
with your feminist rubbish.

It isn't rubbish.

There's no question
of me getting a divorce.

Mr Tellier,
