Original subtitles

We love our mother without knowing it. Only after the last goodbye....

we realize how deeply rooted the love. Guy de Maupassant 1850-93

ENGLISH SUBTITLES : Yavass March 2011

I do not know what happened. When I was little, we loved each other.

I love her, I can look at her ...

... Say hello to her, be with her, but ...

... I can not be her son.

I would be everybody's son, but not hers.

Your mouth is covered with cream cheese.

- The other side also. -I have wiped both sides.

That's good. There is still a small bit on that side. Down....

On the other side.

That's good.

I find it annoying that you make yourself up while driving. It's unsafe

May Antonin sleep at our home Saturday ?

Yes... As long as I don't.....

You don't have to cook. Neither do I.

- Keep your head still. -What are you doing?

- I want to hear the news. - It's not the news. This jerk bores us

He bores you. I find him very very civilized.

-Last time you said he annoyed you - Hubert, if you do not like him...

Put your own music, but when you have your own car. I listen to the news

- You do not even listen. - I do listen !!

- What did he say? -Take the bus like all kids of your age

That's enough.

- Hey ! -What?

What is it?

We can talk. I'm not your driver.

I don't want to disturb if you are savoring this program

"Savoring" ?

Exactly like your father.

Always trying to impress with his vocabulary.

You think you're so great

My God, slow down you ! Be less neurotic !

- He was right. You drove through red. -That is not true.

- It was red. -Orange.

It was red. Red !Red !

-You cannot drive,you listen to the radio.. -If you don't like it, take the bus.

Go and check out who of your friends is driven to school.

Stop it. Every time with your polls and surveys !

- 50 percent is driven to school. -You think I'm crazy.

You will walk the rest of the way.

I'm late. I have no time today to drive you all the way. Get out.

-I'll arrive 30 min late.Can't you...? -I 'm late ! Do I speak Chinese ?

And you being such a nice passenger !! Have a nice day.

I KILLED MY MOTHER ENGLISH SUBTITLES : Yavass March 2011

Do you have already a title for your painting ?

I got it written down. Just look at my notebook

Title: The Son

Congrats. You get a star in your notebook

ln the book you have annual salary and the working conditions.

For the second part, you interview your parents. Everything is on paper

You can work in teams.

- Miss ? -Yes.

-May I use the job of my aunt ? -No, Hubert.

We want statistics. What mothers do and especially what fathers do.

Can't you take the profession of one of your parents ?

I never see my dad and ...

... My mother is dead.

Yes, of course, you can use the profession of your aunt.

I am sorry I did not know.

If you look at a lamp ...

... And then close your eyes ...

... you will see bright green forms against a black background.

The funny thing is that you think you you control it, but suddenly ...

Stop it !

Hello !

- Here you are, early... -I organized new recruits....

..and it didn't take long. 'day, Hubert! -Hi.

- Staying for dinner ? -No, I cannot. I need to....

- Hey, rookie. -Stay with us. We'll order sushi.

Do you like sushi ?

- I really should go home. -Too bad, next time then.

And your homework ? Have you done it already ?

Absolutely. It was maddening. We busted our butts

How was your day?

- I asked you something - As usual....

- Won't you ask me how was mine ? - No !

Why? If something had happened you'd have told me already

Right? And that goes for me too.

As I had a rotten day amongst a bunch of oversexed morons ...

... who cannot even utter a word in French, I'd rather shut up

Nothing interesting.

Are there many teenagers who speak to their mother like that ?

Are there many mothers, pain-in-the-ass like you ?

This is not a hotel, eh ?

I'm not your cook or driver, available when it suits you.

We can talk. We always did.

Before, yes. When I was four years old and had no one else

Delicious steak.

....tasty.

Fortunately.

We need not create arguments out of nothing. I hate it ...

Well, take a deep breath. You know that already.....

You've said it 40 billion times. You must have Alzheimer's.

Antonin will come a bit earlier on Saturday. Just before dinner.

But I'll cook. We'll eat toast.

Is that so ? Is it too much trouble to ask me first ?

-I asked you this morning in the car. -He cannot come. We'll go to Denise.

Are you joking ? I asked you this morning and you agreed.

- You see ? You have Alzheimer's. - Cut it out, Hubert Minel.

Don't try to manipulate me.

OK then.

- I'll go to Antonin. Problem solved. -No way.

I've told Denise that you'll come. She loves you and wants to see you.

- She'll cook veal shank - What do I care ?

I had my plans. I have a life. Saturday I'm going to Antonin's.

-I don't want the veal shank at Denise's - OK. But you'll get no allowance.

- Very simple. - A blackmail too ?

Grandma would be happy now, leaving you my trustfund

Until your 18th birthday, I manage that money.

If you don't like it, go to your father. Understood? Understood?

- I hate you. - You can hate me.

Hate anyone you wish and tell them right so.

That's for the best. I've also hated people and didn't die. I'm still alive.

Stop singing when you're angry. Such a standard attitude !

I'm not angry. I just want to hum.

Good. Tell Denise that I won't come. I cannot.

Tell her I'm sorry that I cannot.

She won't like that.

You're totally indifferent. You don't care if you hurt other people

Even the worst mother in the world is a saint compared to you.

Thank you.

Have a nice evening.

She didn't want to have me.

She saw me as a burden and was unfit to be a mother.

She was married and had a child, only because everyone expected it of her

That's what everyone expects of women

Well, almost everyone.

Regarding salaries, which vary between 35000 ...

... And 45000, approximately.

I'm going to discuss social benefits

Social benefits are really ridiculous, because ...

You, there ! We need to talk after class !

Do I look like a fucking corpse ?

OK, everyone quiet.

Be quiet !

Go back to your seats

Please.

Hubert, come here.

Hubert Minel.....

I want to talk to you !

- Why did you say that to your teacher? -Get off me.

Hubert get in.

It's my duty to see you safe. Get in, please.

Look !

I got candies for you....

Why did you lie?

I would find out sooner or later . You know that.

I have no more classes today. I'll take you to lunch.

Are teachers allowed to socialize with students outside of class ?

Your mother's murder is worse.

It's true we cannot meet outside of school, but other teachers do it too.

I used to come here all the time when I was your age.

I know. It has remained a bit outdated.

Yet there is still an aura here....

The food is too fatty, the coffee too bitter, the sofas too red, but ...

- Ready to order ? - Smoked Meat. The Royal.

Same thing like hers, with mayonnaise on the french fries

- And to drink? - Water.

I was stupid to think that I could just say that my mother was dead.

It was a stupid idea. I am sorry

I could never stand my father. And this has not changed yet.

Everybody thinks that with age, you get along with your parents

... And that everything will get better.

But it's now ten years that we do not speak to each other

I cannot get along with my mother. We have nothing in common.

Really nothing.

Thanks.

"The mother of a son will never be his friend. " Cocteau.

"Honor thy father and thy mother." God.

- Are you Catholic? - Well.....

I think there is something. That there is someone.

But I don't know if it's God or Buddha, or ... I don't know.

But he has given me the wrong mother.

Why did you become a teacher?

I do not know.

Oh, sinister, cruel woman. The gruesome rattle of your voice sings a sad song....

...that haunts me and I flee In a lush meadow of terror.

We could just commit suicide....

inside our heads and then to be reborn....

To talk, to look at each other and be together.

As if we had never met before

If my mother were a total stranger to me....

I know we would get along fine

Don't say that to him, idiot. He comes back to teach you a lesson

No !

I knew it. I told you so. What an idiot !

- Hi, Mom. - Hello, Hubert.

Can we talk?

- No, I'm watching TV. - OK stop watching

I gotta talk to you. I got the ideal solution.

- Oh yeah? -For us. For our relationship.

I think I have to look for an apartment

Really ?

Today I saw a rent-sign. We can check it out

It looked good. The district is good. It is near the subway ...

... near my school, my friends. So that you won't have to drive me every day

You can't even do your own laundry. You will go bonkers on your own

Not true. It is like that here, because you control everything

There, I'll have no choice. I cannot live in a pigsty.

I'll have to keep it clean and be responsible. I know it'll work

- You want grandma's money? -Yes !

That's exactly what I thought. You see, we're on the same wavelength.

It's a good idea.

I'm so happy.

I love you, Mommy dear. Good, I'm off to see it. I'm so happy.

I love you, Mommy dearest.

We shall see.....

I had rented it to a bunch of pigs and they got everything painted.

Well, this is the bathroom.

A toilet, shower, sink with medicine cabinet.

Everything is clean. Here's a cabinet for your work-shit

Here, my boy, you have the wardrobe where you can put a lot of stuff.

Corridor.....

And here is the kitchen.

This is the end, travelers.

And in case you want an oven, a refrigerator and a washing machine...

OK, Cool.

This is just perfect for me. Really ... It is beautiful.

-When I'm ready, I'll let you know -Fine. No problem

One thing, I don't want any hassle, young man. The neighbors want it quiet.

Understood? OK Well, I gotta go to work.

Let's go

Mom, I want to talk to you.

- My program starts now - It's just for a minute

- Wait until the ads beginn.... - Mom.....

- I've seen the apartment. - Which apartment?

The one I told you about, yesterday

It's perfect for me. I cannot believe it!

Large room, bathroom in good condition, heating and electricity are included

I'm still thinking about it. Living on your own is ridiculous. You're still 16

Wait until you are 18, darling. Yes?

Excuse me ?

I told you yesterday and you said it was a good idea.

Is this a joke ? We talked about it yesterday.

Who lives alone at your age ? You're losing your mind

I am so sick of you ! I am so sick of you !

- You had me tricked. -Move away

What are you doing? Are you crazy ?

- No, no. We'll get ants. - I don't care . Fuck you !

Come and clean up your mess or you'll regret it !

Fuck you !!!

If I say it I mean it......

It is true that I love her, but it is not the love of a son.

It's crazy. If someone hurt her, I would kill that person. Absolutely.

But at the same time there are hundreds of people that I love more than her

What the fuck are you doing ?

Something smells nice here. I've just been at the Parents' Board at school

I took a look at your paintings. You paint very well, Hubert.

I am really impressed with your work, you two. Will you refurbish my office?

Surely there are things you can put on my wall. How do you call it ? Splash?

- It's called dripping. -That's it. Dripping

You're free to do as you please. We are a marketing agency, not a ministry.

- We'd love to do it. -Fantastic.

Say yes, otherwise you're out on the street. Come and help me set the table

No, I'm far too nice here. Nirvana.

- Right now ! Do as I say, loser. -Are you crazy?

Stop. Stop.

Hubert, you home?

There you are. Look what I bought.

I know you'll find it horrible.

Yes, sir, very nice.

I don't find it horrible

It's just a little safari-like

I love animal skin motifs.

It gives the interior a little warmth. It also fits well with the wallpaper.

- It also matches this ... -The tiger. That's why I bought it.

It's beautiful.

I love you.

I love you too, sweetheart.

I said it plain and simple. So that you will not forget.

This is another way to make a plate beautiful.

Delicious eggs !!

- You like it ? -Delicious. It has coriander, right ?

- Yes, I added a bit - I love coriander. This is a treat

Wonderful. It gives it an Oriental flavor.

They put it in the couscous. The Moroccans, the North Africans.

It gives it an international flavor.

How was your week at work ?

- Good. -Yes?

It's a bit of a madhouse, but it goes well.

What's that sound ? Don't you hear something ?

It's the washing machine. I started it this morning.

Really?

- That's fine. -Yes.

What's going on with you ? Have you given yourself a brainwash?

Here's Didi

- Hi Didi -How are you?

Good. I don't understand why you want to go back. You are tanned already

- One has to keep the tan. -Look at my outfit.

-It's the one that you bought in Ft Lauderdale. - Sexy.

- Fun, right ? -Hi.

Sir is doing the dishes.....? What an honor !!

Did you put him in the dungeon ? I should give you mine too !

- Your husband or your son ? - Both !

You always make me laugh !

We're going to the solarium and will eat there. Do you want to eat with us?

Hubert, eating with us ?

Yes.

I'll cook pasta with pesto and if you come back, we'll eat together.

How wonderful !

Good. I'm going upstairs to get me ready

I'll wait here and chat with your son.

Come up to see my hibiscus. It has beautiful pink flowers.

-It's big and beautiful. - My hibiscus has no pink.

You are nicely tanned. I am deathly pale.

Nonsense. Sylvain is not happy with the solarium.

- He reads me articles about cancer -But it's not a real Sun

Yes, that's what I tell him

Hello ! We've met at the Parents Association

- Helene Rimbaud, Antonin's mother. -Of course. Sorry.

- Everything good? - Yes, yes.

I'm waiting for my mother. I don't need a tan.

Hey, it'll be two months in about a week. Our boys !

- Two months? - Yes !

- Two months what? -That they are a couple !

Chantal Lemming.

Cabin 13. It's yours.

- I'll stop on my birthday. I mean it. - Me too.

- It's far too expensive. - Yes, it's wasted money

Now I know why Hubert acted so strangely.

Do you ?

The dishes, the laundry, pesto. He paved the way, for sure

Poor soul.

He was obsessed with Leonardo di Caprio when Titanic was released

He wrote him a letter in English. Very cute.

He used to tell me everything when he was a little boy

Now he criticizes everything I say. It's never good.

It's like ...

As if everything is erased. As if ...

I don't know.

Sometimes I feel that.....

...everything is lost. Our special moments, our travels.

As if everything has disappeared. Strange, isn't it ?

It's not big deal.....

... that he is ...

... Homosexual.

I don't really mind.

I have to go shopping. I can drop you at the video store ...

-and I'll pick you up later. Good idea? -Fine.

- I love you, sweetheart. - I love you too

- Hurry up, otherwise they'll close - I'm coming.

Damn. I'll fall asleep

I've been waiting for fifteen minutes. In two minutes I'm going. I had enough!

- Next. - Thank you

- Hello. Your phone number? -450-555-6352

- You have two DVDs and one Blu-ray. -Blu-what?

The offer is 3 movies for 3 days, but that does not apply to Blu-ray.

Want to swap?

Fuck !!

That was the last time.

I grew roots while waiting for Sir to select his films.

- You don't understand anything -No, I'm a dickhead

Why drive away if later you will come back ? To piss me off ?

- Check this out..... -Not again.

How many mothers of your classmates bring their son to the video store?

Next time you take the bike. I'll not drive you anymore

What are you talking about ? It was your idea. You asked if I wanted.

How could I know that you need 45 min. to choose a video ?

But as usual, you're being selfish

There was a queue. Should I push aside all others 'cause my dear mom is waiting?

Of course, again you were screaming like hysterical

- Screaming ? - Yes, you scream !

And what exactly are you doing now? You're screaming too, right?

For what he's worth, your father is alive. I can't stand this anymore

Enough is enough !

I knew for a long time that you have Alzheimer's......

... but didn't know you were blind too

- That's a new thing now -Yes. You remember today?

Nothing. You've seen nothing. The laundry, the dishes. Everything.

The food. Everything to make you happy.

Bravo, Hubert. My God, you're great !

He actually does errands ! Should I give you a medal....?

-....for doing what all teenagers do? - You and your comparisons, stop it !

I'm not like other boys and you are not like other mothers.

- We are unique. - Sure. You're right.

Yes, I'm right. I hate you !

-You drive me mad. I cannot stand you -You are not better either, eh ?

I cannot live with you. You make my life hell

-I want to go to a desert without water -Great idea. Camels. No water.

-I'd do anything to get away from you -Before even you know it, you'll call me

-"Mom, I'm thirsty. Forgive me. " -You are never satisfied.

- No, I am never satisfied. -Shut up when I talk and listen.

Then at least we'd communicate .

Haven't you ever wondered why you have no husband ?

You're exactly like your mother: completely mad !

Stop it !!

What are you doing?

- Open up. Open the door -It's open.

Open up ! Open the fucking door !

Do you need help ?

-How can you laugh right now? How? -I laugh at myself.

The door is open. Off you go.

What are you doing, stupid ? Are you crazy ? Get off me !

Calm down. Chill out. I'm still here. Move your ass.

- Get away from me. Don't touch me ! -My God. Sorry.

- Move your foot away -Do not touch me, damn it.

Did you forget your keys?

Help me with the groceries.

Hubert, come and help me to get the groceries from the car

Well, fine. I can play your game too.

Hubert?

Antonin ?

Hubert, you should call your mother.

You cannot just fall in to me.

I'm not a shelter for runaway students. I may lose my job.

I didn't run away. It's just a break.

I know everything is a bit old fashioned This is the house of my grandmother's

Hello.

- Do you find it wise to run away? -You mean ... ?

... when you drove away from the video store or from our house?

Don't talk to me like that. Where are you?

At Antonin's

And I won't come home tomorrow either

Do you think you can withdraw yourself at your friend's ?

Here at least I am with people that I love. And they love me.

Do you think this way you will leave your ordeal behind you ?

Do you think life with you is Paradise ?

I don't know when I'll return, but now look at my bedside.

Third drawer. Amongst the comics there is an old edition......

of "Philosophy in the Bedroom" (Yavass: book by Marquis de Sade)

Time will fly reading it

You cannot talk to your mom like that. I do believe life is not easy but ...

When I was little, I was real friends with my mom

Her colleagues used to say that she had spoiled me and.....

....that she'd better spank me occasionally

This kind of little women, saying all the time: 'He's exceptional "

So tiring. When people say "exceptional " (i.e. different)

... They are too stupid to understand the difference.

Or to appreciate difference or to have the guts to hate it

My mother often says that I'm "exceptional" (i.e. different)

-Good morning. -Good morning and thank you.

If anyone finds out that you stayed here, I'll get problems.

I know.

Why ain't I like everybody else?

My buddies do find their mothers annoying, but they love them

I think I am not made to have a mother.

Or maybe your mother is not made to have a son

On page 131, paragraph 86.

Madame Tourvel turns down Valmont's love (Yavas: film "Dangerous Liaisons" 1988)

Dirty slut.

Actually Tourvel ...

Are you daydreaming, Viscount?

Yes. And how are you ?

Nothing. Doing homework with a friend.

This afternoon?

OK. OK

I'm coming.

Who was that?

- My father. - What did he want ?

To watch a movie together, then eat spaghetti, like when I was small boy.

You never talk about your father.

I know.

My parents got divorced when I was 7. My mother says that my father ...

... That he was a coward, that he did not sit down to.....

He went away. Not far away, but he left.

Since then I see him less often, only at Christmas and Easter.

He sends money and cards.

He doesn't know what he is missing.

-'Day, Hubert. Come inside. -Hi.

I'm really glad that you invited me .....

...because with mom at home, it's a real hell.

I'm staying with a friend.

- Damn ! -Stay here.

You said we would eat spaghetti. You lied to me

- Listen, we need to talk. -That will be fun.

Something to drink?

No

Good morning, Hubert.

So......?

Your mother and I have taken a major decision.

You are doing badly in school, despite your excellent marks for French.

So what? It's only October. I'm going to work harder. That's all

-In a week you're off to boarding school - Excuse me ?

To Coaticook, near Magog. We have found a good school.

It is surrounded by nature. You can view photos on the Internet

- The surroundings will inspire you. -You will love it.

No, I will never like it !

I'm in fourth grade. You don't change schools when you're in fourth grade

-I'm not going to boarding school. - Well, if you need to get a diploma...

"Ad augusta per augusta "

" To the top through narrow paths "

The atmosphere there is very different. It is much stricter.

- You need discipline and your mother ... - She cannot stand me, right ?

- That's not it... -What then?

Lower your voice !

- Can we talk as adults ? -No !

Where did you come from? We haven't seen or spoken to each other for 4 months

We never do anything together, because you always work

And suddenly you've come to tell me what I need ?

You ruined my life. Fuck you !

- That's enough. -Calm down, Richard.

I'm very calm.

I'm not going to the countryside. OK ? That's not for me.

- Why not? It is quiet there... - I don't care if it's calm

To live with rednecks ....

I made some tea. I know it sounds like a British psychopathic medicine

- Milk or sugar? -Milk

- Don't you want to take your coat off? -No, I'm fine

I've read your French texts: your poems, your short stories..

I should had asked you in advance, but I could not resist.

I've signed you up for the contest: "writers of tomorrow"

Only a teacher can sign you up, but your French teacher didn't think about that

What is it? I shouldn't had done it...?

No, it's not that

What then?

My parents send me away to boarding school.

They force me to go. They arranged everything very quickly

That's why you seem so depressed all last week

When are you going?

Tonight.

I wanted to thank you for everything.

Well, I'm leaving. I still have to do my luggage and I shouldn't be late.

- Hubert ? - Yes ?

Anyhow you're still on for the contest. It doesn't matter what school you are in

Good luck at the boarding school

ln the weekend I'll come to visit you

Wait.

Please. On page 218, last stanza.

Go.

Mother, I confess before you the pitfalls of a deceitful world....

my fragile boat departs far away and I want to owe all my happiness

to maternal tenderness (Yavass: poet Alfred de Musset 1810-57)

Why are you cold as a fridge ?

Boarding schools are full of gay men.

Therefore, I've bought you a chastity belt

No, of course not.....

But ...

I made these for you.

So that you'll think of me and won't go astray with the very first flicker

That's me.

That's you.

And that's your little mom.

This was in the mailbox. It's for you.

- Well ... - That's it then. Don't worry....

I'm leaving

Christ !

What are you doing?

Seeing you off. Surely we can say goodbye ?

You send me away, you ruin my life and now you expect a goodbye kiss ?

The last minute of my 17th birthday I'll call you .....

and then you'll never hear from me again

You and your filthy habits fit better with a pig ...

your stupid Alzheimer's, your old clothes of repulsive colors ...

Your sheep-like head, your butterflies on the wall, your manipulation ...

You can stay will all this....

What would you do if I should die today?

I would die tomorrow.

Dear Hubert ...

you're a fish from deep waters. Blind and luminous

You swim in troubled waters with the rage of modern era ...

... but with the fragile poetry of another time.

Just after you left, my dad called me.

He said : Yes, it's me, I'm calling you to hear your news

Ten years of silence, ten seconds of noise. I see the absurdity of life.

I decided to visit a childhood friend at Prince-George...

in British Columbia. I don't know when or if I'll ever come back.

I will never forget you. Julie Cloutier xx

Time is up. Deliver now your essay.

Now, otherwise it'll cost you points.

I KILLED MY MOTHER

I suppose that other people think it's a sin to hate your mother

That's hypocritical.

I'm sure, they also hated their mothers.

Perhaps for just one second or for a whole year

Maybe longer, but they forgot about it. But I don't care.

I'm sure they hated her.

- What do you want? -To be friends.

And your brioche if you're not eating it

- I am Hubert. -I know. I'm Eric.

Thanks.

It's not that bad here. At night there is so much you can do

No, thank you. Carcinogenic and yellow colorants

Full of flavor and fragrance.

How did you end up here ?

Because of my mother. She hates me.

- Your mother hates you. Why? - She just hates me. That's all.

- It's part of my life - And what's your life like ?

- I do not know. What's yours like? -My life ...

....it's not about a mother who hates me...

But I'd rather have not a mother to boss me around

- Do I make you uncomfortable ? -No, not at all.

Let's go.

Sorry.

We are going out tomorrow evening. You coming?

OK

Mama. Sorry to wake you up, Mommy dearest.

- What is it? -Mom

- Did you have an accident? -I'm so glad to see you again !

We need to talk. We need to talk.

I've been meaning to talk. I want us to talk.

What about ?

I was just in the metro and suddenly I realized ...

During the ride, I told myself that if we were face to face.....

... I'd like to tell you every little thing that I need to tell you ...

... But I never said because I'm not a talker ...

You know that I hardly get angry with people that I can talk easily to.

... then I remembered all the things that I wanted to tell you...

... If I were to tell you everything, I would need 100 years.

100 years in order to tell you all the things I wish to tell you

And when I was in the metro, I was thinking....

....thinking of you, with all the graffiti around and the colors ...

- It was dirty. -It was beautiful.

It was so incredibly beautiful and I was looking at it and said to myself:

We need to talk. We definitely need to talk.

Because you often say: 'We don't talk to each other any more, as before. '

But I think that too. I agree with you. And then ...

And then I thought: If I don't tell her now...

... If I don't tell you now ...

... it will eat me up even to my grave.

If we do not talk, we will look at each other in our graves.....

... And a little voice will say : "You should have talked with her !"

Damn you ! You didn't speak out. Didn't speak out. Didn't speak out.

You could have spoken. OK ?

- What's wrong ? -Have you ....... ?

Have you used drugs?

You use drugs at school?

- My god. - It's not big deal

It's not big deal The important thing is ...

The important thing is....!!!!!

... That we are together. Now.

Do you understand? That's what that counts.

- The rest doesn't matter -OK

- That's OK. -Drink a glass of milk.

- I feel good. -You're all sweating

I feel good. It's fine. I love you ! I love you !

-I love you. -I love you too.

I also love you very much, but go to sleep now.

Take a glass of milk, it detoxifies.

- You're laughing ? -Because I'm happy

I am also happy.

Now go to sleep, because it's getting late.

Drink some milk.

- Well, thanks for the lift. - It was my pleasure, darling

- What are you painting ? -The office of Anton's mother.

We are going to make a Dripping, Like Jackson Pollock.

- Jason who? -Jackson Pollock.

Mom.....?

We talked a lot last night, right ?

I just want ...

I had used speed.

And if you use speed, you talk a lot

I don't know what I've said.

I don't want you to think ...

Have a nice day.

Mrs Lemming, Mr Minel, this is to confirm your son's registration ...

... To our boarding home for next year.

Hi, sweetheart.

A cake.

I've done a good purchase. I bought a nice jacket at Suzie Coquette's.

It is so nice !

I paid $ 8, but it was worth $ 40. Look how beautiful.

It's a Mario Fabuli and it fits like a glove. Look how nice !

My grape brooch will look great on it.

Look. As if it were made for me.

You like it? Nice, right?

It's ugly.

- My god, you're cranky. -Maybe, but I do have taste.

ls it your life's purpose that we be enemies?

- You got me signed up for next year. -Listen ...

No, I won't listen. You listen to me, because I had enough, OK ?

You might think that I still have three years to go....

....and that I must thank you for sending me over there

I must tell you though that you are terribly mistaken.

Do you understand? The only thing happening now ...

...is that I'll leave and you'll never hear from me again

Too bad, because I wanted to cook beef with mashed potatoes, your favorite.

And a piece of cake, to have a nice evening

Do you think everything will be OK with beef and cake?

Next time you get peanut butter. You send me away to.....

...a stupid boarding school, away from everything that I love,

because you're too young and unfit ...

... to know how a mother should be. It's all your fault !

You'll never have this problem. You'll never get children.

-How do you know I won't have kids? - Homosexuals don't have children.

It was nice to hear that from somebody I had not known before

"My son and your son, they are already two months together"

I said: Oh my God. I was so happy to hear this news that way !

Who? Who told you that?

Please tell me, who said that !

Antonin's mother.

Antonin ...

... Your buddy. You know, Hubert?

It hurts that you concealed it from me

That you don't trust me, that you don't know how much I love you. I do love you

You do not love me. I don't want to hear that.

If you loved me, you wouldn't send me there.

- That's not love ! -Let go of me !

- Sorry, I wanted ... -Don't touch me. That's enough.

That's enough now.

- I am sorry -No.

Eat now and then Antonin can drive you to the bus station.

I'm not up to it, tonight

- I didn't mean to hurt you. -I know.

It's alright, Hubert

Tomorrow I'm going to New York, to see theatre

Too bad you have to study to become independent financially later-on....

- .....or you would have liked it. - Piss off !

Hubert, how's the boarding school?

- How tactful. Very good. -What?

Is it that bad?

If you have problems at home, you can always come here on weekends.

But your mother loves you as you are.

I mean, it's an unconditional love, right ?

Did you tell her about you and Anton ?

Not ?

A dessert ? Strawberry salad

Moon to Earth, hello !

Damn.

"Full Battery"

I say it and I mean it

It is true that I love her, but it is not the love of a son.

It's crazy. If someone would hurt her I'd kill that person. Absolutely

But at the same time there are hundreds of people that I love more than her

It's a paradox. Not being able to love your mother ...

... while, at the same time it's impossible not to love her

ln this life you should only kill your inner enemy. .

The body-double of your hard core

To dominate over it is an art

Up to what point, are we artists ?

- Is everything OK ? - Yeah, I'm fine

Dear Hubert, I'm writing to you from Cottage Grove, Oregon

Me and my friend, we're riding on bike from Vancouver to Oregon.

The wind in our hair, beautiful sunsets, budget hotels. Wild Life

How are you ? Your Boarding school? Your mother? Julie XX

- Accounting. Hello. -Mrs Lemming ? - That's me.

This is Ghyslaine Nadeau. Director of the boarding school

I'm not sure how I should tell you this, but your son, Hubert ...

- ...he ran away. -Excuse me ?

This morning, he was here for breakfast, but he missed the mid-morning snack

We searched everywhere and found a note in his room, addressed to you.

We thought he could be in danger and we've read it.

- What did he write ? -He writes:

"I am in my kingdom if you wish to talk to me. "

Do you know where is his kingdom ?

Yes, that's Montmagny. Excuse me, I should hang up now.

Would you kindly call us when you hear from him?

Ma'am, we've never had a student running away from school.

But there is always a first time for everything

If I may, Mrs. Lemming, I've noticed ...

I know your son lives in a single-parent family...

Wouldn't you agree that it'd be good for him, if a man were in the house ?

A male authority would be good for him. Wouldn't you agree ?

This is the last straw, you arrogant prick. You think you're Jesus?

Are you gonna tell me how mothers should be?

I grew up with a manic-depressive mom who was hospitalized most of the time

I was married to a coward who never had the guts to be a father

For the last 15 years I get up at 5:30 am, five days a week.....

... to get my boy to school and to have food for him on the table.

- Listen Ma'am ... -No, shut up !

Macho piece of shit. You're good with your judgmental babbling...

.....parading around with your Bugs Bunny tie ...

... and pulling down your red and white pants. Do you like also pink socks ?

Don't you dare to tell me that my son ran away because I am a single mother.

You have an IQ of 150 ...

... your chest swells proudly with your endless series of diplomas....

But when a 17-year-old escapes from you, it's because I am a bad mother...

... and I didn't know how to raise my child !

You dare come to me with your questions and innuendos ...

.. and you make me responsible for your own incompetence. Fuck you, asshole !

If there is no check in my mailbox next week with my cash refund ...

... I'll come after you until I'll have recovered it fully. Understood?

Is that clear?

Did you remember about my stuff ?

Thank you.

I thought it wouldn't be a big deal if you missed a day of school.

With the grades that you have...

I also knew that you had your mother's car.

That's what you think, but after all.....

I'm just your girl, your whore. Right ? For the rest you don't give a shit

What's your mom gonna do? Send the police after me ?

- She'll do nothing - It's about time you grew up !

Don't look at me with your innocent eyes of a dog.

I feel sympathy for you......not only because you're having a rough time

I love you

Antonin....? Chantal.

- I've heard a lot about you. - I'm not surprised

Is it true that you lived here when Hubert was a kid ?

Yes, we moved to the city after my divorce. His father manages it now

Where is Hubert? On the rocks?

Yes.
