"A well-considered marriage that is also going to be a love match.

Duvernet agency. 30 years of experience."

Can you play the piano ? - Unfortunately, no, I don't.

No piano.

Are you a Catholic ? - I come from a very christian family,

but me, I... - Of course, I understand.

Are your folks still living ? - My mother, yes, but she's not living in Paris.

Me, I was born in Saigon. - I would have never guess that...

From french parents.

I decided to move in Paris only three months ago, so I'm still a bit...

Of course, I understand.

Do I interrupt anything ? - No, no...

I believe you had enough time to know each other.

- Yes, yes. - Yes.

Well, if you don't mind coming with me, Mr Triboy... I'll see you after.

Miss.

- Please. - Sorry.

Evelyne.

- Miss. - Mister.

Please, be seated.

I bet she doesn't fit neither.

- I can't tell you, I don't know... - You don't know.

Admit you have troubles making your mind. Is it the way she dresses ? Her age ?

Do you have any idea of the age ? - No, but...

Not too old. My age, or a bit less.

Remember what I would really like if it's possible is to meet them at their own place.

Oh, yes. A big apartment. - Yes, six or seven rooms.

That's precisely what is worrying us, Mr Triboy. The surface.

300 square meters is very big. And we don't do property, just matrimonial.

For the woman, are you sure you don't have any preference ? Short, brunette,

blonde, intellectual... Or, on the contrary, any revulsion ?

No... I'm not very found of redheaded women but... I'm aware of needing

a lot of space, I also need a waiting room...

I know, I know... A waiting room separate from the living room.

Otherwise, everything's getting stolen in the waiting rooms.

- And a big closet... - Yes, a shut up room would be okay.

A box room or a linen room...

I'll see what I can do.

We never know... Maybe one of our latest applicants...

- Do you believe in it ? - Pardon me ?

To astrology, horoscopes...

- There's maybe a bit of truth in it, but... - For the natives of Capricorn,

with Gemini ascendant... Spirits will usually stay good...

Be careful of keeping your ears clean... Never neglect bathing...

And for the april born dogs - that's for me ! - avoid to have them meeting

their Capricorn fellows... But how to know ? Be careful with the food they eat.

But don't be over-careful. Nobody ever told you he's scrawny.

- What ? - Bandy legs, low belly...

It's pretty obvious. - But he always has been like this.

Then he always has been scrawny.

You should give him some vitamins. - What kind of vitamins ?

You're lucky !

We have an excellent file, this time. Listen to this:

The lady's living alone: that's good. She's about your age,

she has a huge apartment, more than 300 square meters...

The rent is too high for her. She's a bit... Let's say she used to have

a higher standard of life. - It's gonna depend of the area,

but I'm making a good living.

Is the sixth arrondissement a good area for animals ?

I bet it can be... And physically ?

Oh, she has style ! Do you really want to get married ?

Yes.

I can't help it but I always wonder about it.

I have to tell you her family was Swiss. We don't know her for long and we have

less informations than usually. About the closet, for example...

- You don't know ? - No.

- Mister ? - Miss...

The dating agency sent me. - Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know someone

would come so soon. The agency was supposed to confirm first. Come in.

Can I take your coat ? - Oh yes, sorry...

I didn't prepare anything, I'm sorry.

I didn't do the cleaning yet, this morning.

Be seated. - Thanks.

- Here we are. - I'm so sorry to bother, if I'd knew...

- Not at all... Not at all...

I'm leaving everything lying around... At some point, you don't even know what's

belonging to you anymore. You just forget...

I assume you want to see the whole apartment ?

I'd love to, yes.

This used to be a book room, but there's not many books left. It's too bad...

It was very nine because all this side is looking the garden.

- You mean this garden is part of... - Of course. Didn't they tell you ?

A very big garden.

It's neglected now. Before they were flowers everywhere.

But how could I be taking care of it on my own ?

- It's so quiet. - Yes. It doesn't seem we're in Paris.

The other side is looking the courtyard.

And what's this ?

Nothing. Just a closet.

- A big one ? - Yes, rather big.

Don't you use it ?

I don't know. I never get in it.

I've plenty of room. - Can I...

- Excuse-me. - Please.

- Can you wait for me ? - Sure. I'm sorry...

Hello, Miss.

...This is why I'm late.

Here we are...

Just pretend you like them, he's a veterinarian.

- A veterinarian ? - But he's a good person...

We have the best informations.

- You could had told me before... - It's not easy, your phone line is cut.

Sorry to keep you waiting. Do you want some coffee ?

Thanks.

I can see you like animals.

A lot. And you ?

- I'm a veterinarian. - A veterinarian ?

So that's why you asked me if I like animals.

Some cake ? - Thanks.

Yes, that's why.

And you would set your office in... Is "office" the right word ?

...In the apartment or... - I must say it would be convenient, yes.

Very convenient.

- You're seeing a lot of animals, right ? - Up to 20 a day,

a lot more when there's epidemics.

I guess so.

- Who is she ? - It's me, but it's quite hard to recognize me.

Quite hard, indeed.

As a matter of fact, I'm always hard to recognize.

Were you in Switzerland at this time ?

I was going there from time to time.

Sorry.

- At your folks place ? - No. At my uncle's place.

I think he was very rich.

And now ?

Now, I don't know. I don't think so.

Why going in Brittany for your honeymoon ?

I suggested to go to your homeland but you refused.

Do I have a nice body ?

Come in.

I'm a bit late, sorry Mrs. But this morning, I didn't forget the apple jam.

Thank you.

- Is it still raining ? - Of course, sir. You got no reason to rush.

As long as I can stay in bed, I cheer the rain !

Here. - Thanks.

They treat us well. - Because we're living tomorrow.

Hello... Yes.

Hold on, please.

It's for you.

Hello...

Yes...

Yes, of course... Never mind...

A german tourist. Totally lost !

- Did you know him ? - No, not at all,

the hotel front desk put him on.

How did they know you can speak German ?

My Swiss accent.

Don't you come to seat ?

It's so quiet. - Yet, thousands and thousands

of animals are killing each other in the water.

If the earth's surface was made of glass...

Do you know how many animals are living inside a single square kilometer ?

Here, for example. - No.

- About ten million. - What kind of animals ?

A bit of everything, mostly insects.

Two or three million of spiders, for example.

- I don't like spiders. - Nobody likes them.

Look. They are moving their eggs. They felt a threat.

Ants are incredible. For some aspects, they act exactly as men...

Yet they totally ignore our existence.

- Can they see us ? - No.

With my father, when we found an anthill, it always ended up the same way:

kicks and good laughs !

And I was always asking my father if there's also someone watching us, men.

And who kicks us from time to time.

Jeanne ?

Jeanne ?

I was looking for you, I thought you were out. What are you doing ?

You think you've thrown everything but you always find plenty more of them...

And what's this ?

"H. Triboy, Veterinarian"

It's very nice.

What time is it ?

- Almost six. - Already ? I have to go. I have shopping to do.

See you later.

- Are you expecting someone ? - Me ? Of course not.

Wait, I go to the door.

- Doctor Triboy ? - Yes.

Oh, thanks. I was afraid to be too late.

This way, please.

- Doctor, you must help me. - What's wrong ?

He had eaten all my books. I was about to abandon him in the street

when I saw your board.

If you could keep him for me... - But I can't, I just set in.

I'm living alone, so when I'm out, he just bores, gnaws all the boxes and runs away.

When I finally find him... All my books... - I understand but what can I do ?

So ?

Our first client.

And this ?

Our first patient: a hamster.

An indigestion.

- Are you going to keep it here ? - Under observation.

Don't tell me we're gonna keep all your client's pets on top of yours...

We do have to keep some of them.

But they're going to be all over the place ! Where are we going to keep them ?

I don't know... Into the closet.

And who is gonna take care of them ? You'll have your clients and emergencies...

- And you ? - What me ?

- You won't be here ? - Of course, I'll be here but not always...

I have friends to see, shopping to do...

We're gonna need a housemaid with all those animals.

Yes... And plenty of animals to cure to pay the housemaid.

- Mr Triboy ? - Yes, it's here.

I got two parcels for him.

- Is there anything to sign ? - No. As long as you take charge of them...

- Goodbye, Mrs. - Goodbye, sir.

- Who was it ? - Someone delivered this for you.

- Is that yours ? - Yes, I kept them at my place.

- What for ? - It's interesting. It's a very very old animal.

A great-great-cousin. Look, a little living fossil.

Is there many more like this coming ?

Yes !

See, you said "yes" ! - Did I ?

Look... The fateful moment is coming.

That's it, it's written.

You too, my dear sir !

You can't help it ! You always have to watch the lens.

I have to thank you. It's going to be a great memory for us.

You know, the dating agency marriages are often the best ones.

Look at us, for example.

This movie was far more better than the one you did for Claude's baptism.

- Why ? Didn't you like it ? - I did. But this one has something more.

Didn't you film your honeymoon ? Anyway, I bet your uncle has been

glad to see you.

But he's no longer living there since a very long time.

Oh yes, it's true. - Mr Sedaine...

Are you angling ?

- No, why ? - Just asking.

- It's H�l�ne. - We have a surprise cake specially for you !

It's too bad. An animal passed between my legs. I fell down.

It doesn't matter. Thanks, it's really very nice of you.

Once, we've made a horse with nougatine. For an equestrian company.

The tail and mane were made with nougatine... No, with caramel...

- Is there many animals we don't know yet ? - Of course.

Not only animals. - What do you mean ?

You know, we got ears, eyes... A nose... But very far from perfect.

We're missing plenty of things.

Do you know the Sedaine for a long time ? - They were friends of my uncle.

Your Breton uncle ? You never spoke about him.

Of course I did. The uncle from Zurich. Don't you remember ?

It's the same. He first met the Sedaine for business purpose.

Then he lived in Brittany for some time.

Don't you come to bed ? - Yes, I'm coming.

I had a key of the closet made for you. You've been asking for it for a while...

How dusty ! And nothing interesting, as you can see.

There's even fishing rods. - Where ?

Over there. Don't you see them ? - Oh, yes.

We can take off everything. Would it be okay for your guests ?

Yes.

But, I have to tell you... The reason I bother you that way with this closet...

It's because I was thinking of something. I'd like to set a small surgery room up.

- Do we do surgery on animals ? - Of course, we do. Didn't you know it ?

No, you just told it to me.

Look ! Slippers.

Those are really for huge feet. Whose shoes are this ?

I don't know but they really are huge.

Maybe your uncle from Brittany... I mean from Zurich ?

Certainly not. He hated slippers.

Sunday the 19th. The Sedaine are coming for dinner.

No explanations for the slippers and fishing rods.

Mr Sedaine doesn't angle and he has tiny feet.

Who left them, then ? Someone I don't know.

She's going out almost every day. She's always very active.

Monday the 20th. Standard shopping, apparently.

She comes back at about 6:30 p.m. She brings flowers.

Tuesday the 21th. Important: She always goes out at the same hour on tuesdays.

No. Not this tuesday. She didn't went out. Someone called her on the phone.

Wednesday the 22th. She went out at 2:30 p.m., supposedly to go to

the hairdresser. Why doesn't she go to the one next to the house ?

I have to figure out what's going on, but I have other things to deal with.

No need to apologies every time you're breaking something.

But Monsieur, it's not me, it's the cat again.

- You're not very found of animals, right ? - I don't like cats.

I think they're deceitful.

- Do you know where is Madame tonight ? - No, Monsieur.

And precisely, I'm worrying, because she's always telling me usually.

She's coming. Don't worry.

Look... He already knows.

The subway was really crowded ! I twisted my foot.

You should had start without me.

Don't you ask me where I come from ? - You tell me.

I was at the cinema. It was a very long movie and I rewatched the beginning.

- Good evening, Madame. - Good evening, H�l�ne.

- With whom where you at the cinema ? - All by myself.

All by yourself at the cinema ?

Yes... A missed appointment.

- With whom ? - With a friend.

I can have some friends, right ? - Sure, you can.

- You always look like you were saying... - Saying what ?

Saying that I...

Anyway, I knew you were going to be busy for all the afternoon.

I had 11 clients, that's true.

Sorry if I don't shake your hand...

Look, it's this one.

Yesterday, he landed in the church tower. He's always mistaking.

I can't rely on him. - Can I ?

He's maybe overworking, no ? - He doesn't work more than the others.

No... I think it's because of all those airwaves... TV, radio...

Pigeons are cracking up. Maybe it's even...

Maybe it's even contagious. - I really don't think so.

N�17 is coming back from Poitiers and should be here since 35 mn.

But I'm still waiting for him. - Can I keep this one for some time ?

Oh yes, of course.

Follow that taxi, please.

- Do you have your badge ? - What ?

- Aren't you from the police ? - No, why ?

That's the rule: no police badge, no tailing.

Sorry.

"...Which antennas are provided with the same six branches antlers

than the mosca vulgaris..."

"Back at 6:20 p.m, red-cheeked and glad, which is rather rare for Jeanne.

Wednesday, the 15th. She had the closet cleared out. She's throwing slippers

and fishing rods. She's burning and throwing everything."

Thursday, the 16th. At around 2 p.m., the time I come back...

I see Jeanne going out... Suddenly, I don't know why...

I decide to follow her... When I ask her, she says she's going out for shopping...

But what shopping ? She's never buying anything.

She probably had someone before me. Someone who was living here.

And she's still seeing him. Regularly.

I also should watch the...

Hello, Misses.

- Do you recognize them ? - Yes, of course. What's new ?

They're feeling lots better, doctor. You saved them. But they're still not singing.

- It's probably a poisoning. - No, Germaine, why won't you accept it ?

It's strictly nervous. - If I don't feed them by myself,

there's always something wrong. - A bird who refused to sing...

It's never a good sign, but there's not much I can do.

Try to distract them. To sing with them.

- But we're singing out of tune, doctor. - Is it true there's records ?

Yes. You can try... Sorry... And...

Buy a bigger cage. - We have a small apartment.

- It looks like surgical instruments. - That's about what it is.

- The same ones ? - Maybe a bit smaller.

Try them on.

But I don't need that.

What are you doing ?

What do you think about your nurse ?

You're not going to operate alone. You need a helper.

- Maybe later but right now it's... - Here.

- But you're not a nurse ! - I always dreamed to be one.

You'll teach me. - I thought that H�l�ne could...

- H�l�ne ! It's too much for her ! - But it's an absorbing job.

You don't realize. - Just admit you don't trust me.

Of course I do, but... So you won't go out anymore ?

You're not going to operate everyday.

I go get the rest.

Why are you always opening the windows ?

Because of microbes, Monsieur. And smells.

- What smells ? - I don't know...

- Ether, for example ? - Yes. Ether, and...

Are you sometimes taking some from the surgery room ?

Me, Monsieur ? I won't ever come in this room !

Sorry.

I should had realized that.

I should had realized that sooner. She's...

She's probably part of a circuit.

She's meeting other intoxicated persons when she goes out.

There's more and more ether missing.

Yet... I haven't seen any injection marks on her arms.

I have...

I have to manage to count her heartbeats.

Are you smoking too ?

- Why "too" ? - I never saw you smoking before tonight.

A cigarette a week when I was alone...

Well, the match is over, I'm going to bed. Good night.

- Good night, H�l�ne. - Good night.

- Aren't you sleepy ? - Not yet, no.

Why are you always looking at me in the eyes ?

In fact, for me, this surgery room is godsend.

- Is it ? - Yes. Ether, for example...

Ether ?

Yes. For nail varnish, it's a great solvent.

- What ? - For nail varnish, ether is a great solvent.

Men don't understand this kind of things.

I hate this kind of mockery. I don't understand how anyone could like that.

Someone delivered this for Monsieur. A tall and rude young man.

He refused the tip.

What is it ?

I don't know. And I don't want to know.

What's wrong, H�l�ne ?

Listen... I'm not afraid of working. But here it's too much for me.

Why's that ?

- Because I'm afraid of animals, Madame. - You should have told me before.

I thought it won't last. But it's starting again every time.

Don't worry, it's not very serious. Just be careful with the water's temperature.

And how is Ciceron ? - The injections helped him.

His ear is better, but he still has headaches.

- I'll come to visit him some day. - It's gonna make him happy.

Goodbye, doctor. - Goodbye.

- I'll go visit Mrs Rossi's cheetah. - Be careful. Do you need me this afternoon ?

No... Are you going out ?

- No operation ?... Nothing ? - Nothing.

A parcel have been delivered for you.

Oh, yes... Thanks.

Lions or bulls wouldn't be a problem. But those small animals...

"Shapeless mandible, 218, 219, 282, 283...

For the ether, Jeanne's explanations are plausible, as usual.

But she probably already guessed that I found out the level was reducing.

She's maybe just a woman like all the others, after all. She makes a good nurse.

If only I could answer this question: who was living here before me ?

And how did he disappeared ?

Monday, the 27th. She made her shopping on the morning.

She goes out again at 2:30 p.m. Well dressed. She asks me some money for

a rummage sale. Yet, that's not Jeanne's type. She comes back tired at 6:45.

She didn't buy anything. There's dust on her dress.

A letter from Switzerland came for her. I tried to find it, I looked everywhere.

She probably destroyed it."

Ah, Mr Triboy, I think something happened. Your wife went out.

She was looking totally upset. - When ?

- Half an hour ago. - Where was she going ?

- I don't know. - Did she had a suitcase ?

- I didn't see any. - I'll see that.

Oh, doctor ! I knew you would eventually come.

- What's wrong. - We don't feel well.

And we must leave Paris tomorrow.

- Why didn't you came in ? - I rang at the door but nobody opened.

Wait for me here, I'll be back soon.

H�l�ne ?

Jeanne ?

There's no option: he needs an operation. - An operation !?

Jeanne ?

Are you operating ? You could have told me.

It wasn't expected... A ganglion, it was urgent so I...

If only I knew.

Where were you ?

One of my friends had an accident. She has been run over by a car.

Nothing serious.

Who ?

You don't know her. I would had better not going out.

It's nothing at all anyway. Just a small anaesthesia.

Where's H�l�ne. - That's her night out, you should know that.

Scissors... Thanks.

- Usually you always tell me. - You aren't easy to reach.

- Is it ? - It is.

Then I'll always tell you where you can reach me.

Always ?

It would be so much easier, don't you think ?

Don't you think ?

Cotton, please... It's done.

Thank you.

H�l�ne !

- Yes, Madame ? - H�l�ne, please come here for a moment.

- What for ? - Look carefully,

you'll tell me everything you'll see.

It's me. Can I help you ?

No, no, it's okay. Thanks.

He's out of danger.

- So ? Did something happened ? - No, Madame, nothing.

- You didn't see anything ? - No.

- H�l�ne... Tell me what you saw. - This lady, Madame...

- Yes ? - This lady kissed Monsieur.

- Did she ? - Yes, Madame.

- She was probably glad. - Probably, Madame.

- What about the rabbit ? - The rabbit ?

He didn't let me in. What did he do with the rabbit ?

With the rabbit ? Nothing, Madame.

- What are you doing ? - He's cured so I send him back.

How can they find their way ? I always wondered about it.

We don't really know yet.

- Once I knew a cat that... - The cat, it's nothing.

Nothing to compare with insects. Look...

See this butterfly ? He can smells his female 11 kms away.

- 11 kms ? - Yes.

- What is it ? - The eyes of a fly.

- Any fly ? - Yes, a regular fly.

Any fly's eye is made of thousands of facets.

If a fly looks at a flask, here's about what it would see.

- Flies are seeing us like this ? - Of course.

- Are they watching us too ? - Who knows ?

We'd like to know as much as them. Sometimes, we'd even like to be one of them.

- Why ? - They maybe understand what we don't,

and we're so fragile.

- Did you had a lot of experiments ? - Some...

Sometimes I feel like you don't have any interest for me.

Hello... Hello.

Miss.

- Hello. - Hello.

He's coughing a bit, isn't it ?

Be seated.

Stay here, don't move... Stay stiff.

Did you touch this box by any chance ?

- No, Monsieur. - Try to remember.

It's very important but it's not serious.

You're sure you didn't touch the box ? - Yes, Monsieur.

- Sure ? - Absolutely, Monsieur.

- Where is Madame ? - She's out. But she left a phone number.

Now listen: go back to the kitchen and don't move from there.

Very well, Monsieur.

You, Miss, just jump on your feet and get out as quickly as possible.

- Pardon me ? - Get out as quickly as possible.

- But, doctor, I didn't tell you what brings me here. - OUT !

Anything upstairs ?

No, nothing.

- Did you check the garbage chute ? - Of course !

- What's this all about ? - The snake's got away.

What snake ?

The snake in the box. Someone opened it.

- Is it bad ? - It can be deadly.

We checked everywhere, even in the garden.

We'll tell the underground department but he probably got asphyxiated

by the smoke. We can still remove the floor, if you want.

No, forget it.

- I hope it wasn't a joke. - A joke ?

You eliminate me and replace me...

You choose someone better, like a surgeon...

Or a lawyer.

The apartment is renovate as new, it would be easy to find someone.

That's why you let the snake go. To eliminate me.

Do you really believe what you're saying ?

- You're afraid of me. - Of you ?

You're afraid I slit your throat during the night.

If a dying father leaves nothing but a big dilapidated apartment to his daughter...

And if this daughter tries to get married, because it is the best solution...

If sometimes she prefers staying with her friends instead of with your animals...

There's really nothing to be afraid of.

What about the snake ? And the man with the fishing rod, pipe, slippers ?...

Is he dead too ?

You used to sleep better... When you were alone.

No. My mother was telling I could scream for nights and nights.

Today, I don't scream anymore. - I'm not the one who bother you,

is that what you mean ? I really wonder about it.

- It's totally different. - Sometimes, you're sleep-talking.

I listen to you when I don't sleep.

And I don't understand a word of what you're saying.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Sorry. - Hello, Mrs.

We were in the neighborhood. We couldn't resist the pleasure of...

- The pleasure is our. - Usually, we pay visits six months

after the wedding, but... - It's only four months, right now.

- Four months last week. - Well, I can see everything here is...

You don't know how glad we are ! Are you happy with the closet ?

We're having operations almost everyday... Are you still very busy ?

- Oh, more than ever ! - Yes, people just keep on getting married,

it's amazing ! Luckily, some are successful...

No matter what they say but some are more fit for marriage than the others.

How does he look ? - He looks better. Lots better.

What was hard was to make him accept he was sick.

- Yet, he looks smart to me. - That's precisely the point,

he doesn't like to change his habits. - Of course...

Isn't it true ? You don't like to change your habits !... He's shy.

Dr, if you have a moment, I'd really be glad if you could check him up.

But we already know what's wrong with him.

Come on, you can't say no. It will only take a minute.

That would make her very happy.

This way.

Come... I really have to talk with you.

You saw him. - Who ?

My husband. Didn't you notice ? He's close to break down.

- Too much work ? - No. I have to tell you,

I need your advices. - That's my job, there's crisis in a couple's life...

- I think I've been too far with the snake. - What snake ?

A very dangerous mexican snake. I stole it to fright him. You understand ?

- No. - Of course, you do. I found his tape recorder,

you can't imagine what: he's watching me, following me,

he's recording everything... - What about the snake ?

I did my best to really worry him, but I think I've gone too far...

He thinks I want to kill him. - Is that so ?!

I could easily reassure him but you know, he only cares for me if I fright him !

And I don't want to loose him. - Did you spoke together ?

- We spoke about it many times. - 5 p.m. on next friday at the agency.

We'll we've been glad to see you. See you soon, I hope.

- See you soon. - See you in a few months.

- Goodbye, doctor. - Goodbye.

- Is that all ? - No.

Tell me.

You know, he's weird... He's really weird.

- How's that ? - He locks himself with his animals,

doing researches... I don't really know what he's up to, but...

He starts to frighten me. - I understand.

I think I missed everything. I don't know what to do anymore.

My dear lady, I got the feeling that everything's gonna be okay soon.

Just stay with him, everything will be fine.

- Just like this ? - Yes, just like this.

You're living together...

- Shouldn't I try something else ? - That's only up to you.

Mrs... Mrs... There's something I want to ask you...

The snake, where did you put it ? - I gave it to a zoo.

- Am I at Dr Triboy's place ? - Yes.

I am professor Rodari, Dr Triboy asked me to come to see something rare.

I'm sorry but he has been called for an emergency.

It doesn't matter, I'll wait, if it doesn't bother you, of course.

Be my guest.

There's always more dwarves than giants in the world of living beings.

Isn't it strange ? And that's the dwarves that are dangerous.

- Dangerous ? Why ? - A small improvement

with a specie's weapons, for example...

And the so-called balance of nature is disrupted.

Farewell, everyone ! - Man would disappear ?

- He's gonna disappear anyway. - Soon ?

Unless he changes his form or accept someone changes his form.

But I won't be here to see it. You neither.

Just a small thing would be enough, like an epidemic...

- And who's going to replace us ? - I'm wondering...

Inside the craters dug by the atomic blasts, you can find well and alive coleopteras.

It didn't affect them at all. They have all the time they need.

The cicada is waiting years underground, to live only a few hours...

But us, we don't wait for anything anymore.

I met Mrs Demangeot this morning at the bakery. Do you know what she told me ?

No.

She read in a magazine there's people coming from other planets

who are living with us here. And nobody can see them !

They're here, watching... They spy on us, waiting for the good moment.

And do you know what they said in that magazine ?

These people can copy just any form.

Trees, stones... They can hide in virus... But me, Madame, I think...

they transform themselves into animals. Don't you think ?

Hugues ?

Are you in there ?

Hugues ?

- It's late. - What's happening ?

- Nothing, it's me. - Have you been here for long ?

What are you doing ? - I was looking for you.

Why are you locking you in ?

You're still afraid of me...

Didn't you understand ?

I tried so hard...

to make you taking care of me.

If I'd really want to kill you...

I hope you're not afraid anymore.

- I'm tired. - Come.

Come to bed.

What are you doing ?

I am leaving... Can't you hear ? Just listen...

- What's wrong ? - You'll see, soon or later,

he's going to open everything. Cages, boxes, bowls...

And they are all going to come out: snake, spiders... All of them !

- Where is my husband ? - I don't know. Locked in somewhere with them.

- Is he with a client ? - No, he's all alone.

If I was you, I wouldn't trust this man.

So you're leaving just like this ?

H�l�ne is gone.

What's wrong with them tonight ? - I don't know, I don't understand.

- What have you done ? - Nothing.

Nothing special.

Do you know why H�l�ne is gone ?

She thought you were organizing an animals uprising.

A terrifying invasion ! Ridiculous, isn't it ?

I was thinking you wanted to use the animal senses to get in touch

with invisible life forms... I was even thinking you had accomplices:

the old professor, the Japanese... A whole gang !

- What's wrong ? - I don't know.

They maybe don't get along with the new fan.

No, I never saw them like this. They are feeling something we don't.

They can anticipate earthquakes, tsunami... Cataclysms in general...

Tonight, I don't know what is coming... Jeanne...

You should maybe leave too.

- And you ? - I can't.

- Are you afraid ? - A bit, yes.

Don't you want to leave ?

Leaving now ? Never.
