- I'm coming to talk to you... - Ah, but I'm not here anymore.

"You're hurting me, Antoine!" "Stop hanging off me!"

I want to see someone. Tell him...

The bear, he's too big for you

Go on! Look

"I'm not a costume; I'm a real bear"

Go on!

What do you want to do? - Sit down and stare.

OK - you talk to the bear and me, and I'll be there!

I'm here!

Listen! I've had a great idea.

Let's hear it.

What if you're a cowboy and I'm a cowboy and out there are Indians

- Not very original - Yes it is - I'll have to think about it.

Why do you have to think about it?

- Because I need to get my brain warmed up.

- What does it mean, to think about something?

To try to have some thoughts.

And to think of some that aren't too stupid.

- And if you have stupid ideas? You don't use them? - They don't work!

- But if you have better ideas... - They work.

They work. OK, I'm going to think.

Well, here's a wonderful thing. - What?

- I have a good idea. - Go on, tell me.

I need to think about it a bit more.

Do you... can you feel things warming up?

But it's already warm, in fact, it's boiling.

- Oh, yes, it's boiling. It's really boiling. - Feel my brain there. It's hot, isn't it?

It's really boiling.

- 2,190 - OK. Can you get me 44420088 on the phone?

- Are you OK? - Yes, OK.

It's me.

I have presents for everyone but nothing for Antoine.

You could go and buy him something.

I bought that thing for Isabelle, you know, but...

Look, I saw a tailor at Dorothy Bis but...

It's a jacket without a collar but I don't know about the cut.

I tried it on the salesgirl - Do you know her?

It didn't look good on her, not at all! It's all ruched.

No, but you know me - it's not the look, it's the drape of the thing.

Listen, I'll go and get the tomato sauce. I love you. See you later.

- How much did you say? - 2,190

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

There's someone at the door...

Come in...

Open!

- Where's my present then? - Your present?

- My present! You don't have it? - Well, yes, I have something...

Give me a little kiss first, darling. Just a little kiss.

- And where is my present? - Ah, darling!

Is it there?

Oh no! I don't have anything!

Oh, look!

Your present. I wonder what it can be!

- Me too. My present. - There you go.

- I hope you like it. - Thanks.

I'll go and try this one.

- Is Isabelle here? - She's with Antoine.

- Good evening. - Ah, there you are. Good evening.

- Wait a minute, I have a little present for you. - You didn't have to.

- Yes, I did. - Thank you. It's very nice of you.

- Here.

Oh, the hairdresser didn't do such a bad job.

- No, not so bad. - Do you like it?

- I like short hair a lot. - Good. It's gold, be careful

- Oh, thank you so much. - If anyone asks who gave it to you

- Tell them it was me, OK? - OK.

- There you are. - It looks classy, no?

- Yeah, it's pretty - You chose well.

I thought you'd like it.

OK.

I'll go... go and have a look in the mirror.

It's... mummy,

it's the number that...

I want you.

Treshma's on her way...

She's coming

- Is that you, Treshma? - Yes - I'll be right there.

Treshma?

- You alright? - Yes.

G�rard and I are going to Grand Gaube for dinner.

.Antoine is asleep in there. Make him some food if he's hungry when he wakes up.

I've prepared some things in the kitchen.

- More prawns? - Langoustines. Did you want them?

If you don't want them, you don't have to have them.

It's not that - meat would have been better.

Do you like langoustines? No? You could come with us?

See you later!

Oh, this heat! It's impossible!

We're here! Watch out!

- Alright? - Good.

- You've been fishing? Caught anything? - I haven't fished.

Yes, you have.

Give me that. Is that all you caught, then?

- The fishing wasn't so good. - There's an octopus, too!

- Yeah. - Did you catch that, the octopus?

We have to get the motor out. Brrrm-brrrm.

Up! There we go.

- You've put your Sunday best on! - Yes.

- Is there a party? - No, no party.

- Why are you wearing it, then? - Just to look pretty.

Oh, to look pretty. For whom?

- Just for the house. - Oh, lovely.

You want some water? No?

Does he have to water the plants while we're eating?

- He's the gardener. He waters plants. - Oh, he waters

- he waters your skirt! - A bit, maybe.

He's like the other one, down there. I've seen how he plays with Antoine.

Antoine adores playing with him.

- Yeah, but it's not like with his father. - Ah. No.

Perhaps it's more fun.

I surprised you that time...

Ah, you missed me!

This is good, isn't it, Bernard

the water is fun. It's fun.

Hang on, I'm going to get down.

- If I had a boat, I'd be in it all day. - Of course.

I'm hungry.

What are you doing?

I'm giving him food - leaves.

- You're hungry? - Yes. - Are you still hungry? - No, I'm full.

Hey, N�n�, N�n�! Look, it's daddy.

- N�n�, N�n�! - And me?

- We're going fishing. - What about me.

- He's not interested in me. - There you go.

What are you doing?

What?

Don't you care about Dad anymore? Don't you?

Keep him. She will send you to boarding school.

- What are you doing up? - I can't sleep.

- Why can't you sleep, darling? - I'm afraid.

- Are you afraid of Abougoudi? What's Abougoudi done?

- You think he's out there? - No.

Where did you see him?

- He's on the... he's in the reflection.

- You think he's out there?

- Yeah, it's him. - He's moving. - Yeah.

Listen to that. He's scared.

What is it?

Look at that.

What do you think it is? Ah, it's only the tree.

Give me that, give it to me.

Hello.

- Yes. - Who are you telephoning?

Is that all you have to say to me?

- You think this is a good time to make call? - Is that all you have to say to me?

Huh, that's great.

I don't want to, I don't want to.

Stop pulling at me.

- I'm going. - Good, go.

No, I'm going... back to Paris. - Go for good then.

Go for good then.

Gently, come on, gently.

Why are you such a damned fool, huh?

Perhaps because I'm with you.

There are lots of good reasons.

You really are a stupid idiot.

Get out. I've had enough.

Stop it, I'm tired. Stop it.

If you could just be tired of your stupidity, that would be better.

Oh, fuck.

It would be nice just to be a bit loving...

Shut up, shut up, shut up! Get out!

Get out! Go! You're too fat to push out. You're fat, you're fat,

you're so heavy! I can't do it anymore. I'm tired. Go!

- Stop it! - Go now!

- Give me some peace. - Don't wait, don't come back, don't return.

- What? - Just go!

- I'll go when I feel like it. - Yeah, you do everything when you feel like it.

Why do I feel like this? I should have left long ago. I'm done.

How can you not feel the same way?

Just be quiet for two minutes, Antoine.

Come on, stop it. - I can fly! - Yes, you can fly. That's enough now.

Hey, cool! Look at that.

Hang on. Here we go.

I'm going to take him now.

Come on, kiddo. Don't tell your mother, though.

Come on, let's go.

There we are, darling. Off we go.

- Gently, hey? - Yes, gently.

- OK? - Yes. - A bit scared? - Yes.

- Cold? - No.

You can't tell mummy about this - she'll give me hell.

- Yes. - Not a word, huh?

Listen, don't say a word or I'll get hell for it.

- Come on. - Robot Number 1!

OK.

Where is he?

You don't let him go with anyone in the street like that.

It doesn't matter who it is.

But he's his father. It seemed like a good idea to me.

It wasn't. Call me. Ask me.

He looked so happy. I thought it would be fun for him, that's all.

I don't want to go on your motorbike.

Your mother doesn't want you to.

I'm going to tell mummy it's not a scooter.

Oh, no, darling.

Hey there! OK? Did you bring him back?

- You're going, Antoine? - I'm coming.

- You brought him back? - I came back on the motorbike.

- Is that OK? - I'm going to tell

Look at this...

- I'm coming... - Come and look at this.

- Look at that. - Come and have a cordial.

- Go and make him one. - No, that's not...

You don't want one? He'd rather play with the bike.

Oh, no. I was just going to look for you.

- Come on, darling. - You must never do that again, G�rard!

Come on back to the house. Don't hide. We're going back to the house.

What are you playing at? Antoine, stop it!

- Let him go. - You see what a state he's in now?

- What? - It's dangerous.

We're going back to the house. That's enough antics.

You call me. You ask me. It's dangerous on that thing.

But he's... he's so happy. He's very happy.

- He's fine. - But what could have happened?

It's hardly kidnapping. He was perfectly happy just now.

I took him on the bike. Very happy. And now look.

- Why's Antoine crying? - It's nothing.

I went to fetch him from school on the motorbike.

And his mother made a scene. She doesn't want! You'd think I kidnapped him.

- That's not so serious. - Not so serious. Bye-bye, Th�r�se.

You aren't going to do the dishes now, are you?

I've been doing your dishes for fifteen years.

You could leave them there.

What did you do in your other place; I suppose she just lounged around?

- I looked after the kid. - Ah, that's what you did.

Well, someone had to.

Listen, go and take a shit and stay there.

It's incredible! I'm paying twice as much for this dump as the other one, if you're interested.

Fuck!

What are you doing?

You stink. You smell of men. You stink.

I don't know how he puts up with you. I don't know how he does it with you.

At heart, you're a whore.

You love blokes, you love men, that's it.

And look at him. He says nothing. He reads his paper.

You disgust me. I'm going.

Slut!

What a pair!

- Are you looking after the house? - No.

Everything's a bit small.

That's how I like it. It's stylish.

- You think it looks nice. - Well, no!

- Your skin's a bit pale, isn't it? - You don't like it? - Oh, yeah.

I wish I'd get laid more often.

- Just pleasure. No feelings. - No feelings.

Fuck, fuck, fuck.

- I'm not laughing, you know. - That's a shame because it makes me laugh.

- G�rard. - Oh, I'm coming...

I'm dying.

Come on go ahead. The dead. The awaking of the dead.

Stop it, you're scaring me.

I've told you, it's afterward.

It hurts.

- What are you playing at? - What would you do if I did die, huh?

I don't know. I think I'd...

Yeah, what would you do?

These ones here. Do you have those in my size?

- You have my size. - I'll go and see.

It's not just chance you're shopping for shoes here: come on with me.

No, wait! I am buying shoes. I'll go with you. You're coming.

- N�n�. - Hello, N�n�, how are you?

- There you are... I said they'd be along. - I'm going with daddy.

- Bye-bye. - See you tomorrow.

You've forgotten your puppet.

- Which one is your puppet? - That one. - There you go.

- Bye-bye. - See you tomorrow, Toinou.

Put your coat on. Put him down.

Hang on, we can't carry the coat and the puppet and everything.

- And put his little cap on. - There we go.

Give him the puppet.

- You're going to carry him? - It's broken, it's broken.

- I can fix it. Let me see. - What's broken. Hang on, can you fix it?

Give it to me. I'll fix it.

Have you had a good day, N�n�?

Here we are. Get in.

I don't like the little one sitting in front. Put him in the back.

Get in the back with him.

We're going to get in the back because that's what daddy wants.

Mind your head.

You've left but nothing's changed. It's insufferable.

Yes but...

- I love you. - You don't love someone and then leave them.

I've suffered too much.

And me? You think I haven't suffered?

N�n�, come on, N�n�. Come and see, darling.

- He's so funny. - And here I am!

- He's terrific. - You're not listening to me.

Yes, I am... but look at him.

He's just so... he's such a little devil!

- I can't imagine where he gets that from. - Oh, bah!

Antin�a!

I want to see Antin�a again!

He wants to see Antin�a again!

- Who is Antin�a? - Who is Antin�a?

Paris.

Paris!

- Come on! - What do you mean, come on? - Let's go! Do the dance!

The leg, get your leg up!

Do it with me, then.

Stop it, I don't like that.

- You don't like that!? - No.

Where's N�n�?

- He's with Sandrine. - I don't like that.

- He's fine where he is. - He'll catch something.

We're going to finish by exercising the lumbar vertebrae... left to right.

Feel the movement from left to right.

Now we'll go up and down..

.that's it, like that.

Up and down, gently. That's it.

You can always change it around by going from front to back.

That's it, just like that.

Not too quickly, though. That's it.

Very good. That's it.

I'm sorry to say, that's the end of the lesson.

- Have a nice day. - Thank you.

What did the old boy say to you?

Oh, nothing...

There we are. Come on, sit down. She's had her cheese and now she's had her boogie.

You've had a boogie, huh? What are you drinking?

- Err, I don't know. - What'll you have?

Red wine?

A spritzer, then.

They're really going for it, your friends, huh?

- They dance well. - They're doctors, right? Doctors letting off steam over there?

- You know the story... - What story?

The dance is a bit like the cancan because it has everyone dancing in a line...

to know that you're cut out for motherhood

I didn't know you thought that.

I just want kids right now.

I'd love to have... a bloke, and then some kids.

I'm going to dance for a bit.

Watch out! You might find some bloke who will give you that kid.

- I bet she dances well. - What?

- I bet she dances well.

- She's a real looker. - Yeah, but they all wear stockings. It's annoying.

- She's tall. - No. It would be better if...

they had no stockings at all.

They dance the way they make love.

Look at the one in polka-dots, there. You see her?

They're like rabbits, like a lot of rabbits meeting up.

And look at the blokes in their suits.

You can see they're doctors. Doctors or...

I reckon they'll be having... some anatomy lessons tonight.

- They'll be doing it. - Yeah.

This place is like all the others, when they want to get down to it.

They check their watches, they're drunk...

They're letting off steam.

You know, it's like it's part of the job.

Well, I guess it doesn't matter what the job is.

- I'm off, G�rard, I'm going to bed. - Stay a bit.

- No, I'm tired. - But why? Look, Jeannot is here.

No, I'm going to bed. I'm bored.

Oh, you're talking rubbish. - I'm not talking rubbish. I'm bored.

Look at how she's dressed. I don't believe it.

- She wants to go. - Oh, I don't know. She's tired or something.

She's just like that. She puts on those massive trousers, you could take a shit in them, it's ludicrous.

Look at them. At least they know what they want. You can see how...

Well, they're turned on.

And they're happy, you know. Yeah, they're, well...

- So they are all doctors, are they?

I think so, yes. They're great. Perhaps the beautiful ones model a bit.

Models shacked up with doctors. Such a difficult job!

You think so?

Sometimes I think I'd have loved to be a doctor.

- You've never wanted to be a gynecologist? - Oh, a gynecologist!

What?

Oh, I don't know. Looking at those girls there

I wouldn't like it that much.

- A surgeon, maybe. - Surgeon, yeah. That's good.

Not much bouquet.

I don't know why she dresses like a down-and-out when she's with me.

Good. OK.

I'm going to bed.

What?

- What did you say? - I'm off. I'm tired.

- Why? - I've been dancing. You haven't danced.

Oh, well...

- I'm going, too. - Hang on, I'll go with you.

Yeah, I'll come back with you because...

you know... there are men who...

OK. Come on.

You're just coming back with me because you didn't want to get off with your wife, huh?

- No. - And you?

You've split up with that monster?

I know all about that when I met him. He told me.

- He told me he hit his wife. - But you wanted to see for yourself?

No, at first it was fine. He wasn't like that.

- And, well... when he tried it on, I soon put a stop to it. - Oh, yeah.

But at the end

I could not came to hate him. Though he was just pathetic.

You know, there are worse people.

The only thing I worse than that is hypocrisy.

- Hypocrisy? - Yeah

I can't stand it.

Well, you've had your chance.

- You think? - Yeah.

I'm well out of it.

What are you going to do now?

I don't know. Look after myself.

- I'm going to... - Going to what?

Go to museums. Go to the gym.

- The gym? - Yeah.

What are you going to do there?

Same as everyone else... what do you think? - Work on your arse!

Do you need to wake someone up?

No, I have the key.

I don't know if it's the right one.

Leave it. You're trembling from the cold.

- It is cold! - Yes.

- It's not working. - Give it to me. Give me the key.

It's stiff

- It won't turn. - Come on, let's go through the car park.

Come on.

- What car park? - Here.

Oh hell, they've changed the system.

- What? - They've changed the system.

G�rard put your hand on my arse.

Touch my arse, G�rard.

That's it, hold me tight.

Touch my arse

- Give me your mouth. - No, no.

- Oh, I don't know how to do it like Sophie, huh? - Sophie? What?

You just want to fuck off. I can see it.

What are you talking about? Go? How am I going to find a cab at two in the morning?

Come on.

Oh, hell.

You can't walk down here, people.

What? We aren't doing anything wrong.

Hello?

Yeah, for a luxury hotel, the sound-proofing leaves something to be desired.

How long is this hullabaloo going on for?

Only a little bit!?

What is it?

I haven't slept for three hours. It's not great.

I thought listening to you snore for five hours would...

I wasn't snoring. I wasn't sleeping.

I just said you could snore...

That you could snore without sleeping.

Hey! Are you listening? You snored.

Yes, you snored.

I'm going back to sleep.

You snore. I just said that you can snore even when you're not sleeping.

- There, now I'm completely awake. - Huh... good.

Aiee, that hurts.

Come on, let's play... let's play trains.

No it's not a train, it's...

It's what?

Here are your shoes.

Come on, you have to pull me. I'm sitting down.

Come on, let's go.

Let's go.

I want to go somewhere sunny...

the French Rivera, I'm waiting for the train to depart.

I'm waiting for the train.

Come on, let's go, I'm in the sleeping compartment.

I'm playing sleeping compartments.

OK, here we are. There's no-one here.

Shall we sit there?

So, where was I?

It was the middle of July, on the beach with a friend...

drinking white wine

lukewarm but good, and the best oysters, too, they...

Hey, sit here.

Hi, Cathy!

- Can we get some water? - Hang on, there's no rush.

Just for once, let's not chuck drinks down our throats...

and eat like crazy. Let's take our time.

OK, Cathy? You look a bit sad there. Shall we go and sit by the window?

- Good idea. - Yeah, not bad. There's a bit of shade here.

We'll take this table.

I'll just move the flowers because I know you don't like them.

Show me. I've never seen a woman's handbag which is tidy.

See the bag, know the woman, hey, G�rard?

You don't think about what you say, do you?

You don't know me anymore. I don't like evening Sfalls, the twilight. It makes me nervous,

gives me the blues.

But you never care. Quite the opposite.

His lordship only cares for this idle slut.

You really are a shit. Oh no, Cathy, stay.

- Come on, stay, it's nothing. - It's not nothing.

Stay, don't get upset on her account. Cathy!

Goodbye.

You never once ask what would make me happy.

- That never happens. - You really are a shit.

Do you think I'm happy? Is anyone here happy, Jeannot?

Ah... I'amour fou, real passion, that doesn't exist anymore, huh?

It's like a pregnant woman, afterward just emptiness.

Charming.

OK, here we go, nearly back at the cr�che.

And who are you, sir, if you don't mind?

I was just passing. It's just because...

It's big G�g�

That's all very well, but...

I just wanted to give him a kiss.

No, Marianne, leave it, he's his father.

Bye-bye, my darling. Yes, my love.

Bye-bye, darling.

N�n�, your mother will be picking you up, OK?

N�n�, I love you, bye-bye, N�n�.

Bye-bye, N�n�.

Bye-bye, papa.

Titi

Titi

- Come and eat - Oh, my ears!

Are you going to give big G�g� a prawn?

No, this is a prawn for mummy.

He hasn't done that since...

well, since you left the last time.

Do it like pincers.

I bet it's Jeannot who gets him like that.

- No, it's because you're here. He's hopping about like a flea. - OK, hang on, darling, hang on.

Open your mouth.

- No, I'm going to do this. - OK, go on.

You have to take it, you have to take it while I eat it, OK?

- OK, go on. - Why do you...?

Daddy's food, daddy's food... I'll show you.

There we go.

- What? - It's working.

Oh, now you've messed up the telly. You like telly, don't you?

Yes.

Why? What is it you like? It isn't the telly you like, it's videos.

But it's not the same thing... I don't know how to get it going now.

Yeah, don't make me angry.

Oh, I don't want to make you angry, darling.

I don't want to make you angry.

Perhaps if we played trains for a bit.

I don't want to make you angry.

Perhaps if we played a bit... If we played for a bit with that.

Did I tell you Micheline snuck into the cr�che to see Antoine?

- She told me earlier. - They let her in?

I don't think she saw him because they were in the park.

And the best thing is, she's rewritten her will in favour of him.

What?

She's rewritten her will in favour of Antoine.

You don't say!

He'll be rich.

You're surprised, aren't you? You're right when you say he'll be rich. You didn't expect her to do that?

Well, yes. You go and see the place he'll have down in St Cloud. Amazing.

- Is there any wine? - In the fridge.

I put it in the fridge. - Are you mad? It'll ruin it.

- That'll ruin the wine. - Well, I'm sorry.

Good Lord! That went quickly!

Huh!

It stinks in your fridge.

Seriously.

You could stock up the fridge every so often.

That way, you'd at least know you had what you wanted.

Can I have a glass?

- They haven't moved, they're where they always were. - Do you think you have enough jam in there!?

- Huh. - Is there room for anything else?

No, not really.

Can I have light, please?

You smoke? Here?

Now and then.

I hope you make some proper food for the little one. I don't want him scoffing down any old...

Can I still touch you?

Oh, what! What's happened here!?

I tidied up.

Little man!

Antoine's always playing with those things and

I'm worried he'll break something or lose something, so I tidied it all up.

Have you seen? There's another train and a little boat.

You know, I get fed up with

people always fussing over their children in the night.

Because kids, they're always exploring.

Right up to the day when I could...

Well, until the day I could walk, I thought someone was fussing over me.

It's not really your place to talk about such thing, is it?

Well, you know, I'm just telling you. I have the idea those were some of the happiest moments of my life, you see.

Do you remember Antoine's birth? You were so late.

You arrived at the end of the afternoon, you left me all morning with my mother.

And you never took a photo of me when I was pregnant.

You were always saying, "I'll get round to it. " And then you never did.

No, I didn't, because I was...

because, first of all...

it scared me.

What about the new one?

Anyway, I... I...

He seems cool. I prefer... I prefer someone I like. Because, you know...

I mean, you... er...

the feeling, you know, that's it.

My God! What it all means...!

It made me feel worse than awful, you know.

On the morning, puss-cat, the things that went on... "Good morning, Mom!"

"Good morning, sir!"

Yes!

Precisely.

- It wasn't anything like that. - Oh, I don't know how it was.

In any case, that's how I saw it. Perhaps I dreamed it...

Me, I don't take photographs.

Him! He would have taken them for sure.

It's so unfair, he loves me exactly as I wanted you to love me and...

- And what? - And that's all.

- That's all. Everything's explained. - And love, what's that to you, love?

I'm not allowed to run here.

If you don't hold my hand, you're not allowed to rush around at all. Gently please

Careful! Watch your fingers.

Come on.

Hello, Micheline!

You OK?

- Where are you off to? - I'm going to the sales.

- You coming? - To the shops?

Yeah.

Here we are!

I'll close the door.

I'm just going to have a quick beer, OK?

Help yourself.

Help myself to what?

You want something to drink, too?

Excuse me for saying this

but he's never loved anyone like he loves Antoine.

You can't love someone if you're not there. It's too easy. And it's not true.

What are you saying? When you were younger, he loved you.

It's obvious.

Huh, yeah.

He loved his father.

In his own way.

Hello? How are you? No, I don't know, it's...

I don't know if I can come round because Micheline is here

- You're not going, Micheline? - Not immediately.

I'll stay here with Micheline. I'll call you back soon, OK?

We have to get those cream shoes.

Afterward, the cream shoes.

You want to play pinball first or all or afterward?

Uh... first,

first a beer and look for...

You want to get the shoes?

Yes, the cream shoes. First of all, the cream shoes.

How is... what are they like, those shoes?

They�re cream-colored. I really want them! Cream!

It's the big cream shoe which you showed me?

No, it's... a little one.

The big creams shoes. With those, I can... I'll go...

I've seen one in the flat.

OK, let's go and play pinball.

- What do you want to do, then? - Play the video game.

- Video game? - Video game because there's a man there who likes to play it.

- Oh, two can play? - No, I told you, there's a man who likes to play it.

And he's going to let you play it? Come on, up!

- It's not that way. - What?

It's OK, we'll go here first and then... then we'll get the shoes. OK?

Huh?

Yes.

No, first of all I want to get the shoes.

OK, come on then. We're meeting Sylvie in half an hour. We have to meet Sylvie.

- Oh, it's... - It's there.

- It's broken. - Yeah, that's broken. Come on, we'll play pinball.

- Ah, pinball. - Take your hat off.

I get the chair

because I'm little.

I'm small but I can do whatever I want.

Do you need a coin?

- I need... I need two. - Two at the same time?

- No, four! - Four?

You get another ball.

Come on, play.

You need to get lots of balls going or it's no fun.

- Is it working, or what? - Look.

There you go.

- Hey, G�rard! - Have you seen..?

- Hey, who is it? - You OK?

Yeah, and you?

- Go on Antone. - Go ahead!

I'll come and play with you in a minute, OK? Keep going.

Lost.

What'll you have?

I've lost.

- So, how's it going? - Oh, you know.

He doesn't go to school.

- And you? - You know I'm not working at the moment.

I'm looking.

I think he's better with me than at the cr�che, don't you?

Well

the cr�che is pretty good, you know.

And Sophie?

Sophie?

- She's well? - She's... she's at home.

And you, are you sleeping alright?

- Yeah. - Yeah?

As usual. I sleep a bit.

It's not going so well at the moment. I'm not winning.

- No? You're tired? - Too much bothering me.

It's not always like that.

No, but when there's not enough work, you spend too much time thinking and not sleeping.

- He loves that. - He's won

- What's that, you've lost? - Lost again.

OK, there's another ball. Your turn?

It's my turn.

You have to give me a bit of quiet.

You're playing on your own, Antoine?

I go here.

Now, he goes there.

- Oh, and me? - You go there, G�rard, take the other side.

OK. Go.

You can go and drink your coffee.

You go and drink your coffee, G�rard.

Right. Ready? Go!

Look!

- I'm off then. - Bye.

OK, see you, Jeannot.

- You're going, G�rard? - Yeah.

OK, bye!

I want to... that cop there.

It's not right... you have to hit the cop.

Bye-bye, little one.

Bye.

Don't worry, that'll come out, too.

What?

Antoine!

Show me how... show me, come on.

Put it off first.

Come on

Carefully.

Get in, you'll see!

Get in. Forward is there.

OK, wait.

Here. Forward.

There.

Now, gently turn it and you'll go forward.

I'll push.

Accident! Accident!

Leave that...

here's forward.

You don't want any help, huh?

- Well, yes, but... - It's funny.

You could close the door, because otherwise...

- If you leave that alone... - Yes, exactly, do that.

Leave me alone, I've had enough of being told off.

- You've spoiled the lorry for me. - It was already spoiled.

- This is just stupid. - Come on, take me away.

Let's go.

You've broken a wheel, darling.

Turn the motor on, we must go on. Wait!

Go.

- Come on! - What?

- How are you? - What do you mean, "How am I?"?

Come and give me a kiss, darling.

Get away, I'm come to crush you.

Give me a kiss, darling.

Why are you sweating?

I'm sweating because I had to climb the stairs.

Yeah.

And then we did our little tour.

- And you're really hot now! - And a bit too fat, on top!

He's a bit excited.

Yeah, because a lorry like that is really expensive.

You know what I would like to do, darling?

I would like to go and eat.

- But I've already eaten. - And he had been in bed for three hours or more.

Yes, but he has a lorry. He could take me. He could take me to eat in the lorry.

No, I can't because...

- Goodbye, my love. - Goodbye.

- How's it going, G�rard? - Hi, Philippe, good, yeah.

Hello, Janine.

- Hello, G�rard, OK? - OK.

- Can I have a bit of ham? - Sure. Make yourself comfortable.

Just a bit...

- There, when! - Is it good?

Have you seen Sophie lately?

- Does she come to see you? - Yes, sometimes.

Recently?

I don't know. Perhaps... a week ago.

Can I...

Mme. Janine, could you give me a little...

just to put the things in...

No problem. There we go.

Did she come in with... er...

- Yes. - With him?

I've never seen him. I've never seen him.

- What? - I don't know him.

He's good with the little one.

I guess so. I've never seen. You never know, though.

- The little one is still though? - Oh yes.

It doesn't change... it can't.

- Excuse me, G�rard. - Come through.

- I'm in the way. - Not at all.

You are thin, there is no problem.

I think I'll have a beer.

Beer-breath is not attractive.

Gin, on the other hand...

The first time you kissed me, you tasted of gin. I liked that.

Was that taken last week, that photo?

You live a double life.

Listen, you know you can't wait for that to happen.

When are you leaving?

I'm going with you.

It's G�rard's father, it doesn't look good.

- Is it hurting you? - Yes.

- How are you getting there? - By car.

Why not fly?

I don't like planes. You know that. And I don't want him going on his own.

How are you?

This is the time.

What?

Wait.

Here.

He can't keep anything down. He vomits up everything.

Even liquids.

He's completely dehydrated.

It's not very nice here.

We'll take him to Ambert.

Can he travel under anesthetic?

We'll take you to Ambert.

"We'll take you out of here" "This is the time"

It's for you, M. Gardi. You're wanted on the...

Hello?

He didn't suffer. He passed away in his sleep.

You've been a good son.

All that hillside

there, all you can see, that was ours previously.

It was known as the Floating Wood

because the tree trunks were so straight...

that they went to the navy to make ships' masts.

It was while he was going to the station at Girou that

the Gar�u's father died, along with his foreman.

Anyway, the Gar�u became responsible for his mother.

But he believed his mother was responsible for his father's death

because he had left for the station after a violent argument.

They were carrying a load of wood and a chain broke and...

the wood rolled off. The foreman was killed

he didn't have a mark on him. Just a little hole, here.

He was killed in the crash.

Look, it's strange; the water here isn't moving.

There's a current over there.

We were alive yesterday. Both of us.

In the end, I've never known my own land.

I'll never come back.

Teuchi le Gar�u.

Teuchi le gar�on.

No, "le Gar�u". I always called my father "le gar�u"

Ever since that day we were at Cros

trying to catch crayfish...

I was with my father and you came prowling round

saying, "What's that? Who is it?"

And he said, "Oh, I'm the Gar�u from Caillat. "

You said "Teuchi le Gar�u. "

Yeah.

Teuchi le Gar�u, Guardian of Caillat.

Yes, that's it exactly.

Yeah, so I always called him "le Gar�u. "

It's the pronunciations which change.

Look at the taxi! Two hours ago it was the hearse

and now, all disinfected!

On the doorstep of house

Our Father waits for you

And the arms of God Open for you

As the gates of life

Don't you have anything other than plastic?

It's often what the clients want.

I would have...

I would have liked something better.

Goodbye, gentlemen.

Goodbye, sir.

Will you be back?

No, never!

It's too ugly, too many fir trees. There's nothing more for me here.

Well, well!

- We're just off. - Already?

Always on the go! Can't we persuade you to come in?

No, we can't, because...

Goodbye.

Won't you come in just for five minutes?

- You could have a bite to eat. - I can't, I have to get back

You always promise to come but you never stay.

We'll call you, OK?

OK, safe journey. - OK, goodbye

You'll come back? Promised?

A kiss for your son.

Make sure you call.

Bye.

It may be a silly thing to say, but you can drop by this evening for a drink, if you want.

Good evening.

Good evening, Th�r�se.

- Anything for me? - Nothing.

Come on, take off your coat. Take off your coat.

Wait a minute, you're not going back out!

Come on

N�n�, come on

up to your room.

He's so aggravating. He's always crying.

You always wait for him by the lift.

You didn't wait.

Two hours in traffic. In ten years this hasn't happened to me.

What's the real reason?

What?

Three days!

Three days and not a word.

I didn't vanish. I told you...

where I was going and with whom.

But you can't treat me like a dog.

- There you go! - There I go!

And when you press his eye, the little frog works.

- So I'm going to write... - Do you want some paper to write on?

Wait, not on the book!

Look, it's a little notebook

- you can write on that. - A little notebook.

- Oh, it's not writing. - Try again.

Try on your shoe.

That's not a very good idea... If it doesn't...

- I'll try. - That works.

You can write my name on... on the shoes.

Write on both of them.

No, there, there! - On top of the shoe?

- No, not on top of the shoe. - Why not?

Because you don't want to tell the whole world who you are.

It's a secret, between you and me.

An...

you need an A.

The A, the N...

the T

the O

the I

The N and the E.

- That's it! - Good.

You can put them on the table.

Are they paid for?

I just need you to sign here.

Sign here.

What's this door doing wide open?

There you go.

- Thank you, bye. - OK, goodbye.

- Hello. - Oh, hello. Bye.

You don't have to leave the door open

You never know with these people...

Oh, look at all this.

I don't like this.

You have to keep an eye on the chocolate, otherwise...

Do you what time she's getting back?

I think she's going to be late.

You always eat tea like that, bread and jam, at five o'clock?

Not every day.

It reminds you of when you were young?

I have toothache.

I'll give you the address of my dentist, he's fantastic.

- Why not go and see him? - I don't like dentists.

If your teeth get rotten, you see what your breath will smell like.

She's coming!

I'm just telling you what I think.

Because afterward... if it's too late, they'll all fall out.

Perfect timing, darling, you arrive and I have to be off. I come and I go.

I haven't seen you in I don't know how long.

You know how it is. I'm snowed under.

Not even a hello. Give me some news.

Why? Are you worried?

No news is good news.

Oh, great. Anyway...

Are you worried? Where's Antoine?

- He's with Charles. - Charles!

He's having a sleepover.

He'll be wallowing in front of the TV, like all the kids nowadays.

He'll turn into a blob of lard.

- When's he getting back? - Tomorrow morning.

- Where does Charles live? - Rue de Vaugirard.

- What floor? Is there a balcony? - No. It's the ground floor flat.

The ground floor? I don't like that.

He's grown a lot, you know.

What did you expect? That he'd shrink?

You know he's going to school next year.

- Why? - Because I can't do anything else?

But school ruins everything.

He's going to the Madeleine with Charles. It's a private school.

You'll drop him off in the morning, at lunchtime...

Do you remember Montreuil? You'll turn into one of those haggard mothers there...

G�rard, you really do say unpleasant things!

You should try politics.

You're always, "Antoine this!" "Antoine that!"

Do you spend any time with him? Do you take an interest in him?

Take time just to look at him?

Without blabbing on.

With him, just for him.

Oh, listen, I do what I can, you know, Jeannot.

What with all my work at the moment, and...

I have to make money. But I wanted to have a word...

To make sure that Antoine knows that I'm his father.

- That he knows. - Good, because I'm going away.

Where? - I have a big opportunity.

- Oh? - A little village, just waiting for me...

in Cyprus!

Oh, hang on, I have to give you this.

- It's nothing bad... - You look nice in a suit.

It's just for business.

You should wear one more often.

Oh, in Paris, on a motorbike, you can't really wear a suit.

Listen, that's for Isabelle. You fill it out, OK? I'll leave you with it.

You look really beautiful right now. I don't know how you do it with all the driving around.

Everyone's in such good form: it must be the five o'clock tea.

No, I'm sorry, please. - I know. You look tired.

I'm tired, I'm tired, it's what you said.

- Do you find me tiring? - No!

- I'll find you alright. - All's well, darling.

Goodbye.

Don't leave it another three weeks without seeing us.

- OK, I'm off. - Give us some news.

Don't worry.

I'm off.

He hasn't been going on at you?

No, G�rard's OK.

Did you get that yourself?

Yes, I hadn't eaten.

Stay close by, please.

Cinna and Margot, a bit closer.

Antoine!

You need to stay on the grass here.

The grass and the path, just within the path.

OK? We'll go and look for the bikes.

Not over there. Let's go and find them.

"My little rabbit is so very sad"

"He doesn't hop or eat in my garden any more"

"Hop, hop, hop, little rabbit!"

"Hurry up and kiss someone!"

OK, little rabbit.

Don't you want to kiss someone, little rabbit?

- OK, go on. - A boy?

Whoever you wish, a boy or a girl.

There you go. Christopher, now you're the little rabbit.

Antoine, hold hands with Maximilian and Sofienne.

Now, Christopher, you're the sad little rabbit.

OK, hold hands.

We should sing.

"Choo-choo, the little train"

"Through the mud, he goes so well"

"Pull, pull the wagons"

"While whistling this song. "

"What luck!"

"What a pretty journey" "What luck!"

Listen, Antoine, we're nearly back

I know you're tired, you've played such a lot.

You're not very good little helpers, are you?

Get in!

- Well. - How's it going.

Why aren't you driving?

I don't know where I'm going, darling. I'm not going to drive there!

- Would you like to go to Japan? - No.

Because the Japanese, I don't want

because they seem so happy.

No, not the Japanese... Japanese not happy, Japanese poison daddy and mummy.

No, let's go to Philippe's, hey?

We could walk there, if you want. In the car.

Off we go.

Or we could go to a park you don't know yet.

Let's go, let's go.

Thank you. Thank you, Sophie

I'll take this.

I was watching you then.

And?

I love coming here.

You can eat so well.

You, you're mad, you don't like eating.

Your attachment to my father...

you love other people's families because you never had grandparents.

Grandparents are important.

If you don't have any, it's like a void in your life.

- You really like this suit? I look good? - Very good.

Are you taking the mickey?

- No, I think you look really good. - But look at this!

I know but I think... Perhaps it's the cut, because it's...

At the back here...

Ham! I'd like one of Philippe's fingers.

Give me a finger from Philippe with the ham.

Don't do that any more, darling, that's enough.

Hang on, let's cut a slice.

He's going to cut a slice for me.

- He's going to cut you! - The slices are so thin!

I'm the big fat ham!

- Ah! - Look at that!

Hey, he has a big bit.

Good, the ham is good.

You're the one messing about on the edge there but you don't worry that he'll get his fingers cut?

I don't worry about his fingers because it's Philippe.

He knows how to cut ham. Plus the machine has a safety signal...

he's not going to pick up a slice.

I know, but still...
