AUGUST 32nd ON EARTH

August 32nd

- Are you OK? - I lost control of the car.

You're damn lucky to be in one piece.

What day is it?

It's 5:35…

August 32nd, Friday. My watch is broken.

- It's Friday. See… - My flight…

Look, you're not flying anywhere.

I mean, your car's a wreck. You have to go to the hospital.

We're almost there. Don't worry, I'll get you there.

Hold on, don't move.

I have some Kleenex somewhere.

Here, take these. You can…

You'll be ok. Stay calm.

I think I'm supposed to talk.

Because…

You have to stay conscious the whole time.

You have to stay awake.

You might have a concussion.

So it's important you stay awake.

Wide awake.

Take a handful. Go on… Take a big handful.

On the contrary.

The contrary?

I have to talk, not you.

OK, fine, talk to me then.

Monica?

Hi, it's Simone. Sorry to wake you.

No, I didn't leave. I had an accident.

A bad one.

No, I'm OK. At least I think I am.

A hospital somewhere, I'm not sure.

Yeah, I know.

Today?

Yeah, I know, don't panic. I'll fly out tomorrow.

Yeah, I know.

They'll have to wait.

I'll drop by the agency.

Asshole!

Everything OK?

Yeah, I'll fly out tomorrow.

I called the police about your car.

Thanks.

You may feel somewhat

tired for a few days, but…

it's the mental shock after an accident like this.

It's quite normal.

You just need to rest.

You may also

experience some minor problems with memory,

in the short term.

With my memory?

I'll give you an example.

My name is Vikram Amriwallah.

I was born in Bombay in 1951.

What's my name?

Hello, it's Simone Prévost. Is my mother there?

Alright, then…

tell her I'll call back.

Yeah, I'll call her back later.

OK, thanks.

August 33rd

Philippe?

Oh, Juliette? It's you?

Is Philippe there?

I see.

No, I'm in Italy.

Here, listen…

Jealous!

No, it's awesome, like always.

I just wanted to ask him if…

Look, I'll call him back later.

Does he have his pager?

OK, great.

Philippe?

It's Simone.

Don't tell anyone, but I didn't go to Italy.

I have to see you. I'll be home in an hour.

You gotta be there. It's urgent.

See you.

Does drinking coffee after the vaccine have side effects?

No.

How's Juliette?

Listen:

60 burned to death in Algeria.

Holy Simon!

You're chipper this morning.

Stéphane, I made a big decision.

I'm dropping out of medicine.

What?

It's mine! It's mine!

Who is it?

Isn't Simone in Italy?

Yes, the woman is in Italy. Why?

Gotta run. An emergency.

Yes, fine. Goodbye.

Mr Kadima? Yes…

Thursday? No problem.

A wax treatment?

Yes, fine.

Thanks. See you Thursday, Mr Kadima.

Hi, I'm looking for Monica Perez.

I think she's tanning.

Everyone here's tanning.

We don't interrupt treatments.

I'll ask Nicole. Please wait.

It's Simone.

You scared me!

Sorry.

I came to tell you…

I'm quitting.

Come on, Simone, take it easy.

I'm quitting. This time, for real.

When do you go?

I'm not going.

- Your contract cancelled? - No, but…

They want me, but I decided it's over.

Over? I see. Over till Tuesday?

No, let's say, Friday. Over for good till Friday.

I'm not bluffing.

I'm giving it all up…

modelling, videos, films.

I know a little ego that's heading for a big depression.

You're a pain, Philippe Despins.

You're beautiful, Simone Prévost.

So, what are you going to do?

Nothing.

Nothing?

Not easy doing nothing. Ever tried it?

- What are you doing this morning? - You?

Nothing!

Feel like doing nothing with me?

What nothing do you plan to do?

Look at that cat!

It's cool being a cat, lying in the sun all day,

pretty girls cuddling you.

It must be some hormone they give off.

I have a favour to ask.

Shoot!

Remember, one time, we made a promise?

Which one? We made lots of promises.

Well, if…

at 30, neither one of us had found someone,

to have a baby with, on our own,

we'd have one together.

Remember?

I seem to, yeah.

Well, would you please make me a baby?

The deal was, at 30, and you have 4 years to go.

I found someone. Juliette's not a hologram.

I understand.

Why do you bring it up now suddenly?

Because.

I asked you because I love you.

You're my best friend.

But, I mean, a promise isn't binding.

I mean, I can't force you.

I'll find someone else.

I can't make love to you.

Not make love... I'm asking you to make me a baby.

We'll make love in the dark, eyes closed…

Pretend I'm Juliette.

- You said "make love". - I meant it technically, idiot.

You've screwed half your women friends.

Exactly, it's complicated.

I have enough trouble explaining life to myself, but...

explaining it to someone else!

I can't have a child.

No, I didn't say you'd have a child.

I said I'd have a child.

I'll raise it myself.

I'll live with Claudine out west.

You can see him whenever you want, if you want, up to you.

It's simple.

It's perfectly reasonable.

I never stayed with a guy over three months.

Why should I hook up with some jerk,

who'll just be a dead weight?

With you, I know what I'm getting.

I'm not asking for the moon.

What about your job, your perfume execs?

How'll they react if your belly's shaped like a steamer?

You'll swell up all over, you'll get fat.

Look, Simone,

I can't.

For me, you're not a girl, you're like a guy.

I mean, you're my friend, not a girl.

I can prove fast enough I'm a girl.

It's not easy being your best friend.

I knew you'd say yes.

- I said yes? - Yes, you said yes.

When do you want to do it?

Right now.

Right now?

This is absurd.

If I don't do this, I could die any time.

No one's eternally eternal.

Like some tea?

Some tea?

Yeah.

Ok, yeah.

Want to brush your teeth,

or take a shower?

Brush my teeth?

- Yeah, that's an idea. - After me?

I keep this for emergencies.

- This is an emergency. - Here…

- Telephone! - I'm not here.

I'm in Italy.

No one knows I'm here.

Bottoms up.

To our offspring.

OK, hold on, time out.

Wait. I didn't say yes.

I'll say yes, but…

on one condition.

Shoot!

The condition's this:

We do it like normal people.

So, I'll make love to you,

but in a desert.

Yeah, a desert.

A desert?

This is why I love you.

A desert…

Oh boy, it's pretty darn far.

That's how it is.

That's how it is.

OK, we'll rule out Africa.

California…

The desert was a joke.

Salt Lake City's the nearest.

Bet it's beautiful.

Salt Lake City, 6 a.m., tomorrow.

You can log on to that?

Pilots' daughters are so spoiled.

We're daughters without dads.

Exactly. To make a baby, it takes…

a father.

And an egg, doesn't it?

Generally, yes.

How do you know you'll be ready…

I mean, on a guess…? Don't you take the pill?

No, haven't taken it for 4 years.

I'm like a Swiss watch.

I'll ovulate in… 48 hours, give or take.

Speaking spermatazoidically, you OK?

Yeah, sure.

There are seats available tonight.

A 24-hour round-trip?

24 hours enough?

- You free for 24 hours? - No way.

You can't be serious.

I didn't know you had a tattoo.

If we'd screwed, you'd have seen it.

Do you have your passport?

Yeah, at home.

Is it still good?

Yeah, I think so.

Go!

Philippe?

Juliette?

Where are you?

In your bathtub.

What brings you, you unpredictable and unpredicted woman?

- They cut off my water. - I see.

Why are you home? Weren't you meeting Stéphane?

They assigned me another 24 hours.

What?

But Philippe, you're exhausted.

No, I'm not exhausted.

I'm just a little tired.

You'll be the one who's sick.

You can't keep doing these 24-hour shifts.

- I have no choice, dammit! - I have no choice, dammit!

Simone called you from Italy.

Simone Prévost?

Yeah, I can't hear you.

I can't hear you.

- What's wrong? - It's me, it's me. Not so loud!

I need some advice.

Sincere advice. Straight out. Bang. Direct.

This morning?

It's noon. It's really important for me.

Shoot!

There's this guy…

A girl asks this guy to get her pregnant.

She'll look after the baby on her own.

He's sort of in love with her.

My question is:

Should he accept the deal and sleep with her?

Isn't Simone in Italy?

Just answer, please.

Look, Philippe…

If the guy's super in love with the girl,

she's his dream woman, but she's just not interested,

and he was depressed 3 years over her,

and his best friend nursed him through,

his best friend doesn't want to hear about her.

So I guess it's no way.

Thanks.

You really are my best friend. Go back to sleep.

- Thanks. - It's nothing.

Time to disintegrate, sweets.

My name is Philippe Despins. My name is Philippe Despins.

August 34th

- Ready? - Sort of.

We're not here to see the sights.

- Gimme your licence. - My driver's licence?

No, your licence to breathe.

You know I don't have one.

- You don't have one? - No, I don't have one. Do you?

You're 30 and don't have a licence?

I'm 30 and I don't have one.

I hate cars, you know that.

Holy Simon!

Not bad, not bad, not bad!

It sure is white!

Look, I'm sorry, Simone.

- I can't, even if we go further. - I can't either.

How stupid. It's ridiculous.

I thought there'd be, I dunno, dunes or something.

- But with bug-eyes watching us… - Yeah.

I know.

We'll come back alone.

Christ, it's Sunday.

It's Sunday?

An hour, Philippe? Will an hour do it?

I'm not crazy about the idea of staying out here alone.

Well, do you have a better idea?

- Holy Simon! - Low-down double-crosser!

I've never been this happy.

That's nice.

It's hot, huh?

What time is it?

10:40

I think… we'll do it somewhere else.

Try something more improvised.

It does lack a little spontaneity.

This place doesn't turn me on.

I'm happy.

That's nice.

Yes, it's nice.

Very nice, even.

A UFO.

It was here, wasn't it?

I think so.

He ought to be here.

Shit!

I'll tell him a thing or two!

What a jerk!

We're 3 hours from town!

Quick, behind him!

That's dangerous!

It doesn't seem broken at least.

We'll walk a bit, you'll feel better.

Feeling better?

Is my nose gross?

Brings out your vulnerable side.

Gross side, you mean.

- A girl with a nosebleed's pretty. - Takes a doctor to say that.

I'm not a doctor yet.

In a year, Philippe.

Aren't you glad?

You know, after all, I don't think…

I want to end my days in a hospital.

What I mean is…

You did 2 years of biology, one of biochemistry,

two years of music,

4 months of law, or 6, I don't remember,

anthropology…

I never studied anthropology.

- You studied anthropology. - Come off it!

- I did not. - You've forgotten.

Simone, the more I know, the more I doubt.

The world makes less and less sense.

It's falling apart.

I guess we forget about the plane.

It doesn't matter. We'll get another flight.

Don't make that face.

I'm in a pretty stupid position. I have to get back tonight.

It's going to be complicated explaining to Juliette

that I went to the salt flats to screw you,

the woman she loathes.

I better think up a good story.

She doesn't like me?

You can't like her much either, to suggest this.

I've nothing against her.

Why does she hate me?

Let's not go there. I said nothing.

Nothing.

Nothing?

Let's say, she thinks you have a problem - you're too seductive.

A problem?

- Why, am I a tease? - No!

I just mean…

She thinks I'm a tease?

Let's say, it's just that you radiate

more charm than you think you…

You don't realize how you look at guys.

That's all, OK? That's all.

Do you agree?

I don't think you're a tease, OK?

I just mean that…

Go on.

- What? - Go on.

I have nothing to say. I have nothing to say.

How long have you been with her?

Four months.

How long have we known each other?

Five, six years.

- Where are you going? - I'm going to pee!

Look, I'm sorry. I…

I'm hyperglycaemic. When I'm hungry, I babble.

Don't pay any attention, really.

Not so far, we're all alone!

We didn't even fuck, so what's it to her?

What?

What is it?

Wait!

Don't go, Philippe.

OK, I think… we better get to the highway before night.

Someone will stop for us.

I hope.

We can't leave him there.

What do we do?

We'll leave a marker so they can find it.

Still ignoring us, we might as well be ghosts.

They see right through us.

And we see right through them.

How do you say "charred cadaver" in English?

Simone, I want to be sincere and frank, like a best friend.

Woman of my life, I love you, not as you love me…

Not as you love me, but as I love you.

Making love to you would be grandiose, sheer bliss.

The apotheosis in life is giving your beloved pleasure.

But you don't love me that way.

So I make love to you, and I'm screwed.

Shit, this sounds stupid.

Royally screwed.

Which is why I sabotage, I shoot,

for protection.

It's crumbling. It's the end of an era.

I love you. Philippe.

PS. I have a favour to ask in return.

I don't want to see you again.

To preclude cruel encounters, I propose the following:

I'll take Central America, east of St Lawrence Blvd,

India, New York and Byblos.

I'll leave you the rest of the planet.

That seems fair.

Well, that's it.

We're on standby.

We're certain to leave tomorrow, 80% certain.

There are always last minute seats.

80%?

We'll leave tomorrow for sure. I'm sorry.

OK, let's get some rest.

Are you hungry?

There's just chicken and BBQ stuff here.

I'm not very hungry either.

Well, let's sleep a bit.

I'll never be able to sleep again.

Ever again.

Did I sleep?

I didn't sleep?

It's like a space station.

Ridiculous! $150 for some tourist trap.

Take off your shoes.

It's Japanese to the tips of your toes.

It's like a fiberglass suppository.

Are you claustrophobic?

Something smells.

Your feet stink!

Such luxury… a window!

It's a TV.

Telephone, fridge.

Too bad we're alcoholics.

Are you sleeping?

Not really, no.

What are you doing?

^IHi, it's Juliette.^I ^IYou know the routine.

For you.

A gift. Mescal, your favourite drug.

To end the trip with a bang!

Thank you!

Thanks so much, so much.

What is it?

I swallowed the worm.

You have to throw up. It's super strong.

No, it's too late. What do I do?

I dunno. Mathieu Caouette ate one.

For 3 days he thought he was a plastic pink flamingo.

It's not funny!

It's not funny at all, I'm going to freak out.

Have to throw up. You have to.

Have to throw up.

When I'm pregnant I'll throw up every morning.

Won't that be cool?

Men will compliment me while ogling other girls.

I'll have huge tits. Like this!

It'll be utter bliss.

Yes, sir!

This is for you.

- What is it? - A letter.

It's a letter saying…

why I can't and won't and don't want to have a baby with you.

Read it when you're in Montreal.

- OK. - OK what?

OK what?

I'm a hero.

August 35th

Madame…

We're there.

Where are we?

Your home.

Wasn't I with someone?

He got out. He said to drive you here.

How much is it?

He already paid.

^IHi, it's Juliette.^I ^IYou know the routine.

I know you're there. I'm coming.

Call me, it's extremely important.

Please come.

Hi, guys. Can I help you?

- You bet. Feel like a rumble? - Excuse me?

I'm Stéphane. This is Markyboy, and Ded.

- Hi. - We thought you'd like it.

- No, not especially. - Go on!

Well?

August 36th

It's like he's floating somewhere…

in a deep coma.

I don't know if he'll ever come back,

or when…

or in what state.

I can't find one good reason to go down.

Don't even try.

Stay with me, Philippe.

September 5th

September 9th

Hello.

- I'm his girlfriend. - You can go in.

I wanted to tell you…

your letter was really beautiful.

You bastard.

I've always wanted to go to India.

We'll have to discuss territories.

We'll do that another time.

I want you to keep your eyes shut.

Do you promise?

I'm going to make love to you, my love.
