PAULINE AND FRAN�OIS

Clara!

Come, dear. How are you, pet?

What's wrong, you look pale. We'll zip you up.

- My tummy hurts. - Your tummy hurts?

- It's broken. - Really?

We'll buy you... It's stuck. Hey, look!

- We'll get another? - Or fix it.

We'll fix it, OK? Want a snack? Give me a kiss. OK, let's go.

I did...

I learned letters and I made drawings and I played.

Alright.

What I'd like is... finally... I'd like to borrow it, you see?

I'll give it back, you know, also the one from before.

I know you'd give it back. That's not it.

A bit more than you lent me before.

- What's going on with you? - We're in shit...

Three customers don't want to pay... Now they know I sold.

You have insurance?

Yeah, but that doesn't help now.

The money's for food, for heat.

We need things for Clara, shoes...

No, I understand.

Just now, we have to pay our property taxes, it's a lot.

And the work I did for the guys, it's not cool, they complained.

It's true, I messed up a bit.

I'm not sure I'll ever see that cash, that's the thing.

- What does Catherine say? - She's been edgy lately.

Does she know I'm lending you money?

Sure. Why wouldn't I tell her?

- I don't know... - She's not doing so hot either.

How much?

- Two thousand... - Yeah...

That'd be good.

Well, I don't have EUR 2,000, Serge.

Whatever you can, 1,500.

You understand, I can't anymore. I can't.

No sweat.

Listen, I'll see. I'll see what I can do...

OK. Thanks.

Can I eat your chocolate bun? Yeah?

That's a bonus.

- Well, I'll be off. - Wait, I'll get it.

C'mon, are you kidding me? I had a note, where'd I put it?

It's fine...

Damn, somebody stole it?

OK, ciao.

Ciao, Serge.

- Wait, that bugs me. Here... - But it's OK.

There, wait, take your money back.

I can still buy you a coffee. OK, see you.

- Alright, ciao. - Ciao. Thanks, huh.

No problem.

Alright, that's enough.

Hello.

Hello.

- I'm the one with the keys. - Alright.

My sister told me you'd arrive today.

Yes, thanks.

- Good. You moving in? - Yeah, I think so.

- Did they come for... - It's taken care of.

- OK. - They gave me the keys.

- OK, thanks. - No problem.

If you need anything, I'm there.

Fine, thanks.

- If you need anything, just ask. - Yeah.

- I put supplies on your desk. - Yes, I saw. Thanks.

- Hello, how are you? - Hello. Fine. Sorry.

You'll see it's quiet here. A switch from the city?

Yeah.

- Did you see my brother? - Yeah, I saw him.

- Is the house OK? - It's fine.

If you don't like it, you can change.

Just tell us, come by the house.

My husband knows people... We'll find something else.

Did you move the things you wanted since last week?

I started to.

I live in a hamlet above the village.

Come over, I'll show you.

Come for dinner one night, or even tonight if you want.

- No, this evening I can't... - You'll let me know?

- Fine. - I'll leave you to it.

- See you later. - See you later.

Hello.

We'll review the particulars of your file.

We looked that over last week, and it's all very well.

But there's something important I'd like to say.

Our customers are quite elderly, so we have to be attentive,

know how to help them discover new services,

without pushing them, which isn't easy.

They really want us to be close to them.

But watch out, they can put you in your place.

This is a small town. Everyone knows everyone...

You have to set boundaries.

- Very well. - That's all.

Well, first thing,

take all the accounts that are overdrawn.

Since Brigitte left, there've been some excesses.

I made you a list. Call them soon.

Some have been in arrears for over a month.

- Good, welcome, Pauline. - Thank you very much.

Hello, I'm calling you because Magalie is off sick...

- Like this? - Yeah, take the front.

Ready? OK, let's go.

We'll set it down...

Watch yourself. Good.

Further that way.

What is it?

Huh? What's wrong?

Quit it.

We'll find solutions.

We will? It's always me who does.

- That's not true. - I'm fed up.

Stop.

I try to find solutions too.

Let's go.

Don't I?

Sure, yes.

Well yes, I just sold, e.g.

- Goodbye, gentlemen. - Goodbye.

- Tell Philippe to call me. - Yes, he intends to.

Hello, Jean.

Hello.

Coming to see Clara?

- Yeah. - Good. Off you go.

- Yeah. - Don't make a mess.

Sure, don't sweat it.

Look, mint!

- Mint? - Yup.

- Mint? - Yup.

It's fresh mint.

I thought it was nettles.

Can we use it for dinner? For the chestnuts.

The chestnuts, sure.

Mr. G�rard, come in.

How are you? Go ahead.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Can I see your ID please? - Yes, of course.

Yes, I know, but it was unexpected.

I had a lot of expenses. I had to fix my car...

It was just unexpected...

Your income doesn't cover your expenses.

It's nothing serious, it can be worked out.

How will you solve this?

I have some money in another account. I'm not worried.

- You need to make a transfer. - Yes, fine.

Or we could open a credit line.

No, I don't need credit.

I'm not the one writing checks.

No, but it was exceptional, that money I withdrew...

By the month's end it'll be fixed.

Besides that, did you enjoy your weekend?

- Yes. - Yeah.

I'll be going. Bye.

Goodbye.

- Got a minute? Want a coffee? - No, thanks. Dad's waiting.

I was sorting things out.

Sorting what out? There's a problem?

No, not at all.

Did it go OK?

Yeah, it went fine.

Yeah. Well, see you later.

Yes? Yes.

Was it OK with Fran�ois?

If there's a problem, you can tell me.

No problem.

Too bad he left so fast. I wanted to introduce you.

- I think that's been done. - I know, just kidding.

- I didn't know you were there. - Yes, that's for me?

- Yes. - That's nice.

I'll put it inside.

- What are you up to? - Nothing, I'll wash, I'm skuzzy.

And I'm going to hear the stags roar tonight.

What's that?

- The stags roar when they mate. - I didn't know.

There're lots around here.

It's marvelous. Want to come?

I've got some organizing to do. While I can.

It'll be a nice evening. Ideal conditions, it'll be good.

- OK. - Suit yourself.

- We don't have to be so formal. - OK.

I hunted with my father when I was a kid...

Then there was an accident, and I killed my brother, hunting...

We were kids.

Then it was complicated in the family, my mother left.

You don't mind me telling you?

Not at all. I'm glad you did.

OK.

It's magnificent here.

We'll soon be there. It changes here, the forest's taller.

See them?

We'll walk softly.

There's another.

- You OK? - Yeah.

When night falls, they start roaring.

Then we won't see them, we'll hear them.

There's lots.

- We'll try to get closer, OK? - Yeah.

Come...

- You OK? Not scared? - No.

He's in the next field. Let's go see.

It's wild.

Sorry.

- Shall we go? - Yes. You want to go home?

- You OK? - Yeah.

He's really close.

- You want to go? - Where?

- Want to go home? - Yes!

- Yeah. - Yeah, let's go.

Here...

Where'd I put the key?

- It was good, huh? - Yeah.

- It's great. - Thanks.

You're welcome.

There tonight it was...

- How are you? - Fine. You?

- Did my checkbooks arrive? - Yeah.

Sign this.

How's Serge?

- Fine. - Yeah?

- Hello. - Hello.

- See you Saturday. - Kiss Marine for me.

Yes, thanks.

Can we talk about my brother's account?

Why?

He's been in the red for a while. I'd like to explain why.

Listen, if you want to talk about his money,

I'd rather you did so with him directly.

I was just saying it between us as a favor. Never mind.

Let the dog out.

I'm going.

- Ciao. - Your neighbor's there now?

Yeah.

- You won't be so alone. - Yeah.

- Ciao. - Ciao.

You're keeping busy.

Hello.

How are you?

- You forgot about me yesterday. - What do you mean?

- I waited at the garage. - Oh, shit.

- Serge came to get me. - Sorry, I forgot.

- Can I sit? - Of course.

- Go ahead. - Want a drink?

I'd like that.

- What are you doing? - Nothing, showing her the house,

where it was.

Thanks. Well then.

- You OK? - Yeah.

- It's good, huh? - Yeah.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Sorry, I'm rude.

- Is your car OK? - She's stalling on me.

She pisses me off.

She wants to retire and I don't want her to.

We're being invaded.

Maurice.

- Good evening. - Good evening.

Pauline.

Want to join us for a drink?

- No, thanks. - How are you?

Fine. I'm going for a stroll, you coming?

Not tonight.

Go, we can gossip about you.

- No, I'm not in the mood. - So serious!

This is good.

- Want to eat together? - Yeah, you feel like it?

- Yes. - Where?

- At my place? - You'll join us?

I'll come by later.

- OK. - I'll bring some stuff.

- C'mon, pooch. - I'll call Serge.

Let's go!

- How is he? - So, so.

You know.

- Do you need anything? - It's under control.

- Do you mind eating with them? - No, not at all.

- Want him to bring something? - No, it's fine.

Pass me the small knife.

Thanks.

- You're drenched. - Really? It's raining.

Here's your Teddy.

Serge, my husband... Pauline.

- Excuse me, my hands are wet. - No problem.

- How are you? - Fine.

Hi, Fran�ois. - Hi.

How are you? Excuse me.

- Are you cold? - Yes.

- And Teddy's cold too. - Here.

- Hi, Maurice. - Hi!

- Ready for a drink? - First I'll do the leg of lamb.

- Want to watch a DVD? - I want to watch a DVD.

What does Teddy want?

What do you want, Teddy? OK, he wants a DVD.

Sit there.

Thanks.

Need anything else?

No, do the vegetables.

- Yeah. - I'll see to the roast.

- You coming or what? - Wait, we're working.

Yeah, I know.

He can't help bringing his food,

in case others don't cook as well.

Hey, I can hear you.

It's funny. He always brings food.

Maurice, did you go cep picking?

You think I have time?

Take care of business rather than picking mushrooms.

I'm taking care of business.

Right.

When are you going to come work with us?

When you want.

Come tomorrow, we'll see.

OK, tomorrow.

- Some more? Sure? - No thanks.

Yes, please. Thanks.

How are things with your family?

Fine, we're trying.

Around here, without family, you're nothing.

- Nothing personal, it's true. - Not true. She's just moving in.

But it's hard. It takes time.

Did your family come?

Yeah.

- And what did they think? - Of what? Of here?

Where are you from?

Montlu�on. But I'm not really a city person.

My grandparents had a farm there, it's like here.

Actually, I came because I lost my husband last year.

And I was fed up. I wanted to leave, that's it.

Well, to your health.

You didn't want to see anyone anymore? You blew it.

- Why? - Because...

You found other people. Us, for example.

That's true.

We're poor because of you.

- Why? - I don't know...

Fran�ois is closely watched by his banking advisor.

- That's you, right? - I just do my job.

- I know. - Stop saying stupidities.

Just kidding. I can still kid around!

A widow at your age. I wish you luck.

She minds her words.

Clara, come eat.

Did you know she was a widow?

Yeah.

- Watch your muzzle. - Pass that.

You didn't tell me you're a widow.

We didn't get a chance to talk.

Eat up before it gets cold.

- Pauline? - Yeah. Thanks a lot.

- Got enough potatoes? - Plenty, thanks.

- Mustard? - Please.

You're coughing?

- You scare me. - You shouldn't smoke.

I know. Eat up.

She already ate earlier.

She's right. You shouldn't smoke while we're eating.

You're right.

I told you not to sell. But do what you want.

- We do what we can mostly. - You know best.

- Actually, you didn't tell her? - What?

- I'm an engraver. - Yes?

I saw something funny on TV the other day, around 3 AM.

- Have you ever watched curling? - I was just saying something.

- Curling's annoying. - No, it's not.

To stop it there's two babes with brooms.

They heat the ice like this.

It's a bit crazy, but not bad, then suddenly the rock goes...

...as it slowly advances to the target.

There's a woman, quite sexy, in a dress, rubbing away.

Warming the ice, she rubs, then suddenly stops.

It's a bit like petanque on ice.

It's weird. I liked it. I watched all night.

You were saying you're an engraver?

Wait until he stops coughing.

Hell.

I'll drink some water.

I'm quitting, I don't want to do it anymore. I'll switch jobs.

- I'll do something else. - Hurray for Gauloises.

- OK. - Maybe work in... I don't know.

I didn't know.

You could've said what I did.

I didn't tell her.

I'll do something else.

I wanted to show you, I bought a suit.

Why'd you buy a suit?

I don't know, important events. I bought it in Clermont.

Whatever, he's crazy.

Don't mock him.

I'm not mocking him, just having fun.

- Looks super. - Yeah?

Yeah. Really good.

Stand up for two secs.

Shit, it really looks good.

Yeah, it fits good.

He wears it well, huh?

It looks good on you.

It's funny to see you like that.

- What happened? - A light went out.

- The storm. - Did you get a shirt?

No, just the suit.

It looks good with the polo too.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

- I had it already. - Super. What do you think?

- Looks good? - Yeah, real good.

Find him handsome? Is he handsome or not?

- Stop talking stupid. - What?

She's allowed to find you handsome, no?

- Alright, OK. Want some? - No thanks.

- Know why we clink glasses? - Why?

- Want some? - Go easy.

That's enough.

You upset him.

- No... - Yes.

- Stop. It really suits him. - He looks crazy.

- Whatever. - You're the one who looks crazy.

- Is it almost cooked? - I think so, 5 minutes.

- Like it? - Yeah.

When he eats, he's happy.

When it's good, I say so

I'm glad it's good.

- If it's good, why laugh? - I'm not.

- You think I'm laughing? - Yeah.

I'm not.

- Stop it. - What?

Give me yours if you don't want it, I'll eat it.

I overate.

You tire me out.

You exhaust me.

One evening with you

is like 10 years with someone else.

I'm completely... you see?

I'm a little tipsy...

- You left your suit on? - Yeah.

- It looks good on you. - Yeah?

Don't hold it against my father and sister.

I wouldn't.

They tease me, but I'm used to it. Don't worry.

Serge and my sister are going through tough times.

You knew? You know about it?

No, not really.

They need money.

I'll give them some, but don't talk about it.

Seriously, don't talk about it.

But you help them regularly? You often lend them money?

Yes, it's true.

Why?

'Cause they need it.

And how much would you like to give them?

I need EUR 2,000.

You came to see your banker after dinner?

No, of course not.

I shouldn't tell you that.

But why do you do that?

What?

Bail them out all the time. While apologizing for it too.

Yes, I know.

I don't know, they could ask someone else.

Moreover, you don't have much money.

But I have more than they do.

I'm just saying you don't have to always pay.

Especially if they hold it against you.

I do it 'cause I want to.

You know what I'm talking about. You pay too.

What?

You pay too.

I'll be going.

I'm going home.

Come get me, please.

I felt dizzy, nothing serious.

Please come get me.

I'm up above in Ladder Wood.

Apple, come here.

Wait.

Go now.

Feeling better?

Yeah, I couldn't breathe. My legs gave out.

I came with Pauline. You won't have to drive.

I hear voices.

It's annoying.

Do you see my brother regularly?

Well, yes, what does regularly mean?

Are you together?

No, of course not.

Did he tell you things about us?

Did he talk to you about my dead brother?

Yes.

You don't know anything about us.

You show up and we know nothing about you.

It was a shock to hear you're a widow along with everyone.

I thought we were friends, I thought you'd tell me before.

But... why, before what?

Before the others.

I thought we were friends.

Me too.

I was happy you were moving here.

You're yawning again.

"Cl�ment was handsome and very muscular..."

"And very muscular,

"he was blond...

"with...

"...blue eyes.

"He also had...

"...nice white teeth...

- Everything OK? - Yes, hi.

- What's up? - Nothing.

- Want a drink? - No.

Excuse me.

I can't loan you the money.

I can't. I don't want to anymore.

You piss me off.

Yeah.

- Yeah, you piss me off. - Yeah, you're right.

Pauline told you to do that?

No.

Think you can make me believe Pauline has no hand in it?

What do you think you are to her...

How far have you gotten?

I don't know.

Don't imagine that girl has the slightest feeling for you.

Excuse me...

It's incredible. Each time you have more Lego.

Yeah, I like Lego.

Yes, I know. Building...

Sure you don't want to visit next weekend?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Want me to come?

No, it's OK.

This place is a little lost.

You must get lonely on your own?

There are people here. It's not as dead as you think.

- Really? - Yeah.

Get real.

What?

Here you mean? You'll stay here?

- Yeah. - Yeah, I'm staying, I'm fine.

How's your job? Are you paid less?

No, I'm making the same.

Just a little less in my retirement fund.

Still that counts, doesn't it?

- What, retirement? - Yeah.

I didn't come here to think about retiring, you're kooky.

I don't give a damn about the bank.

And a small branch is good.

It makes for less pressure.

Yeah.

And not seeing mom and dad, Benoit's parents...

You know what it's like to live where your husband's buried?

- No, I don't have a husband. - You're an idiot.

Are mom and dad OK?

They're fine. They just worry. Like everybody.

- You should call them. - I do.

Tell them everything's fine.

I didn't leave on a whim, I thought it over.

I know.

And you, how's business?

Business is fine, it's moving.

The clients are happy.

- Everybody's happy. - Really?

Well, I'm not here to talk about myself, huh?

Why then?

I came to see what's going on in that little head of yours.

It's fine.

- Anyway, he's doing well. - Yeah, he's growing.

A new shirt. All dressed up.

- Yeah. - Brand new.

Yeah, we go to the sales. We want to look good for fall.

We don't fool around with that.

OK, how about putting this away to eat?

No, not yet.

I'll tidy up a bit.

- C'mon, help us. - No, I want my sword.

We'll find your sword, dear.

First we wash up and eat. We'll play swords after.

There.

- Cover the lintel. - What?

Cover that one.

That's good.

- The tiles are fine. - Should I stop?

Those first.

Give me that. It'll slip.

This one's broken. I'm fed up.

- Want more? - No, it's fine.

Keep going there.

Careful, one's slipping there.

Pass it to me, thanks.

Damn it.

Here, it's not well made, but I can't do better.

Super.

Eat it slowly though, 'cause the slice isn't cut.�

I know. He put fat.

I love it.

You love fat?

- And you? - It's for fish bait.

Well, I like fat.

You know, fat's usually toxic.

Well, I love it.

I don't want any. I'm not hungry anymore.

- Want some wine? - No.

You didn't eat.

No, I bought it to go, I should've made it myself.

It comes in big boxes...

You sound like Maurice!

Whatever.

You resemble him more and more.

- The bastard. - I resemble Maurice?

- I'm a bit tired too. - Huh?

I'm a bit tired too.

Put them there.

- Put them on top. - Yeah.

Careful! Watch out!

Hello.

- For a cash deposit. - Yes.

Thank you.

So...

- There. - Thanks.

- For you. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - Thanks, bye.

- Bye. - Bye.

I left you a message. Did you get it?

Yeah, I got it.

Mr. Coudert absolutely wanted to talk to you.

Yeah, it's done. It was about his car loan term.

Oh, right.

- You like horses, don't you? - I love them.

- Hello. - Hello.

You've got a nice horse.

Hello, you.

- Would you mind if I rode him? - No.

Really?

Seriously, you want to ride? - Yes.

- You don't like horses? - No, I hate them.

- Sure you don't mind? - No.

- Are you afraid? - No, I'm fine.

Giddy-up.

Thanks.

- Enjoy your ride. - Thanks.

- See you. - Goodbye.

Bye.

- How are you? - Fine.

- What're you up to? - Making rabbit.

Get some thyme, it's better. Not with mustard, it's no good.

I like it that way.

- Did you walk over? - Yeah.

I went for tests and showed them to the doctor.

- They want to retire me. - I didn't know.

What'll you do?

What can I do? I'll wait a bit and we'll see.

Anyway, it's not right away. I'm going for a walk.

They say it does a body good.

I have to calm down.

I'll go to your sister's to tell Serge I can't work with him.

Alright. You'll really tell him straight out?

Yes. Don't worry. Ciao.

Ciao.

Come along.

- Pauline, everything OK? - Fine, yes.

- Come in. - Yes.

- This is a friend, Sophia. - Hello.

Nice to meet you.

Pauline's my daughter-in-law. Benoit's wife.

- Right. I'll be going. - You can stay.

I'll leave you.

It's important for you. Talk to you later.

Well...

- Bye. - Bye.

- Come by when you like. - Yes, thanks. Ciao.

- So, how are you? - Fine, and you?

We have to be.

We're holding on.

- Yves isn't home? - He's in the garden.

- You didn't see him? - No.

I'll get him.

Yves! Come see who's here.

- How's your job going? - Just fine.

- And your apartment? - That too.

- We could visit. - Sure.

- How are you? - And how are you?

Doing well.

We haven't seen you for ages.

Come sit down.

Would you like something?

No, not right now.

I was saying we could visit her.

Sure, gladly. As long as we're invited.

I came to see you because I met someone.

It's funny,

I was waiting for this, and there.

I wish you happiness, that's all.

Yes, I'll try.

Who is it?

Someone who lives in my village.

I met him, he lives across from me.

Is it serious? I mean really...

I hope so, yes.

I hope so.

Anyways, that's the way it is.

We had to expect it. I did too.

It's normal that you'd find someone, meet someone.

Even if it's... hard.

Well, it's normal.

We can't judge. It's not our way.

I know. I just find that unfair.

What exactly do you find unfair?

No but, I'd like to know. Tell me.

It's because I'd have liked you to have kids.

I'd have liked to have kids too, with Benoit too.

- Well, it's not too late. - No, but I said with Benoit.

- Yes, I'd like kids. - I hope you do.

It's wonderful, and when you lose one...

It's horrible.

Finally, luckily I've another.

I know.

There, anyway it won't change anything.

I wish you lots of happiness.

You know I love you, with him or with another.

Come with me.

Here. I've wanted to give you these for a long time.

I know you like them.

- I don't know what to say. - Say nothing. Just take them.

Here it is.

Careful.

- Are those family photos? - Yes, that's us.

- Can I look at them? - Sure, go ahead.

- That's you? Yeah. - Yeah.

There's Catherine. There too.

- That's your father. - Yes, it's Maurice.

They're nice photos.

That's my mom,

and that's my brother.

Could you show me photos too, from when you were young?

Yeah.

When you love someone, you like to see how they were.

Hello.

- It's to deposit a check? - Yes.

Hello, Mrs. Brunel. - Hello.

- This way, please. - Thanks.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

- How much do you want? - EUR 2,000.

What denomination do you prefer?

In 50s.

- Good evening, Mrs. Brunel. - Good evening, sir. Thanks.

- Can you come see me, please? - Yes.

See you tomorrow. Good evening.

Good evening.

What did you do?

Give me the money.

Give me the money, Catherine.

What's the matter?

What's wrong?

I stole money from the bank.

What?

I did it from Pauline's terminal.

I wanted...

I think I did it to hurt her. I don't know what got into me.

Why'd you do that?

Did you call them at the bank?

No.

And you have the money?

No.

How so, no?

Pauline has it.

Can I talk to you?

I stole money yesterday evening.

I debited Mrs. Brunel's account.

I took EUR 3,000.

Here.

Why did you do that?

Do you know what this means?

You'll be fired...

I'll have to inform head office. An inspector will come.

There'll be an investigation.

It's a serious offense, Pauline.

Finally, I... I don't know...

Are you having money troubles?

Family trouble?

- Want to talk about it? - No, I'll go now.

I thought about...

...your dead husband.

And...

I thought it's great you can be with someone new.

I think that...

...he'd be glad to see you were happy too.

Go now.

It'll be fine. Come.

We'll go away.

Yeah.

Yeah?
