Come on, Paul, get up! --Leave me alone...

It's past 10, come on, move!

Get up already!

I made coffee.

I won't ask you again. It's sunny outside, get up!

Shit...

What do I care if it's sunny...

The kids will come for lunch tomorrow. --Yea...

Will you do me a favor? --Yea...

Go to the butcher and get the lamb.

OK...

I'm counting on you. --OK!

They close at 1 o'clock...

Mr. Taillandier! Long time no see! How does it go?

It goes...

Working hard, huh? --More or less...

Want some lamb?

You guessed right. --It's too early...

I told your wife 12,30. --That's right, time is time...

The boy will get it ready but it's gonna take 15 minutes... go get a drink.

Take the chance, right? --I'll take the chance...

Look at that! Mr. Taillandier!

Long time no see... are you done with fishing?

I didn't know you hunted... --What about this one?

That one? It's a Verney-Carron.

Handmade in Saint Etienne, 200 years of quality.

Great ergonomy, you'll love it. --Good.

However...

...it's not exactly cheap... --I'll take it.

What bullets do I need? --12... for boars, right?

What? --Boars... wild pigs, you know?

With this, you get 'em in one shot. --OK, I'll take the 12.

How many boxes? --One is enough.

You hunt from your car or in the open? --In the open.

How about binoculars, do you need them? --I got them, thanks.

Don't forget the holster... this one's on me.

Something else? --No, that's all.

Of course you have a license, haven't you?

Sorry if I ask you, the law requires me to...

Of course... that's alright...

Oh I left it home... I'm sorry...

No problem... --I'm really sorry... --You'll bring it some other day.

So?

So what? --So, the lamb?

Shit! --I can't believe it!

I ask you one single thing in the whole day and you forget it!

I'll go get it... it wasn't ready so I forgot to go back.

It can happen... --You're not feeling good?

No, I'm good! Very good!

I'll go back.

Luckily your wife called... we were closing. --Sorry, I don't know how I forgot.

We realized you forgot, but we close at 1 o'clock!

We'll have lunch late!

It's past 1, 30... we get up at 5 am...

1... 5... late... you should be making watches...

What? --You make a scene for a 16 minutes delay.

How much is that? --66 euros. --Aren't you ashamed?

What? --66 euros for this?

Hey! Be polite! --I don't feel like.

Here's your lamb.

Any problems? --No but starting today I'm vegetarian.

He and his wife are the "Thénardier of the entrecote".

Congratulations, dad. --Grandpa! --Congratulations, dad...

Now I am "dad"? Am I that old? Thanks.

May I give you a kiss? Hugo always talks about you.

And still you came here?

For you grandpa... I don't know what it is but it's heavy... come on, open it!

Alright.

It's a supergift! --You see.

Yes but...

Airplane tickets... --We always talked about it when we were kids...

The sights, the sunsets...

A tour of Italy with mom, rediscover the country...

Florence, Venice, Rome, Naples...

...and then die. --You're not funny...

Why? It's the truth... thanks everybody...

Come on! Lamb won't wait! --Neither do the butchers.

Don't you take the pills? --No.

For what are these?

Blood-pressure... heart... the other one I don't know.

Aren't you supposed to take them? --No, they're useless.

Are you painting again?

Yes. --Really? Great! What are you working on?

On ladders... I'm painting the house windows.

What faces!

Leave me alone! --Stop it!

Go to play there, come back for dessert. --Go! Go!

Here.

Don't you eat? --I'm not hungry.

How about an omelet? --Not hungry...

It only takes two minutes... you like those... --Forget the omelets, I told you I'm not hungry!

Sorry...

I'm fine.

Just my bottom hurts a bit.

It's OK... grandpa's a little upset... just go swing.

Mom... dad's in really bad mood... --What's wrong with him?

I don't know.

I think he's depressed... too long without painting... it's no good for his nerves.

I would like to talk about it, but you know him... it's like talking to a wall.

Besides, when you try to talk to a depressed, you often make things worse.

Nevertheless, something must be done.

Take him to some expo, to the movies, to visit friends...

Your father is very ill... those are things for someone who's feeling good.

He doesn't give a damn about all that.

Dad?

We're leaving, I'll see you. --Bye.

What are you doing? Do not throw those away!

They all belong in the trash.

These one too? --Yes, it's all the same shit over and over.

Are you gonna throw all the paintings? --Not all of them.

Not this one, right? --No, not one of the worst I guess...

Are you kidding? It's beautiful, I love it.

Take it, it's yours.

What? You can sell it for good money, you know... --That's why you gotta take it.

I don't know what to say... --Say nothing then.

Thank you.

Bye, dad. --Bye.

How do you like the trip?

What trip?

Your gift... Italy...do you like it? --Ah, yes... yes......

Wait, Hugo.

I like the gift.

I like it very much.

Thanks.

Alright, we go. --Safe journey back.

I'm back writing the novel. --Good, I'm glad about that.

Come on, you must finish it...

Take care, dad. --Alright.

Alright...

Of all ways...

This is... I don't like it...

I'd rather... --What are you doing?

Come to bed.

Sculpt your silhouette, define your muscles, lose those "love handles", that is not a dream...

You can achieve that with no effort and staying in your own home.

How? In an effective and simple way... Twinelec.

Sounds good... doing sport while lying still is an awsome idea.

You should order it, you don't want something too aggressive...

Leave me alone, Alice.

I'm going out, I'll be back around 7. --Where to? --I need some fresh air.

It depresses me to see you here in front of the TV.

You gonna get "square eyes".

Come on...

It's sunny... --Dammit, you say that everyday.

Alright... I leave you to your exciting life.

Have a nice day... don't wear yourself out.

"I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE, IT'S BETTER IF I LEAVE."

"LOVE YOU"

Stay!

Pump 6...

Thanks.

The fidelity card, please. --What?

It's that one, please... thanks.

900 points.

100 more and you'll get the grill.

What? --The grill... here, take it.

Thanks. --You're welcome.

Are you alright? --Yes, thank you.

Yes? --Alice called me, she's very worried. What you're up to?

What you mean? --The note... will you explain that?

I have nothing to explain.

Come on over.

Shit.

Max?

I'm glad to see you. --Me too.

Coffee? --Yes, thank you.

Still working with metal scrap? --Why? You want me to stop?

No, you have the sacred fire inside. --You mean the blowtorch.

Does it work? --The torch works great, the selling not much...

So...

What's got into you?

Why did you leave? --I didn't leave... I escaped.

Couldn't take it no more.

Couldn't take what? --Well... myself, the others... everything.

I...

I can't stand it anymore.

Even getting up in the morning has become a struggle.

It's just a bad moment, we all have one. --No... it's beyond that.

They've cut my legs off... everything bothers me.

What's bothering you? Do you even know it?

Everything I told you.

Life, the house, the workshop... painting...

Even Alice and the kids, you see...

I can't...

I'm not able to pretend...

I'm tired.

I don't have any energy left.

I gotta put an end to this, Max.

For good.

OK.

Why not throw it all away? A wife who doesn't want you, dumb kids, a shitty house, no money...

What's this irony about? I just told you I'm finished... I have nothing left.

Are you shocked to hear that?

Have you ever been totally and completely sick of it all?

Sick of having a house, money, success? No, never.

Maybe because I never had any of that.

Come here you.

You think if you have all that you gotta be happy?

You just shut up and be happy? You can't really believe that, Max!

This is not a spoiled kid's tantrum! I'm not some self-centered artist, for fuck's sake!

I'm completely worn out... I can't take it anymore.

Don't you get it?

No, I don't. How about that, huh?

But I know one who's really fed up. The painter in which you turned, that I pity for.

Don't worry about that, I haven't painted in over a year.

A year? You haven't done any real work in 10 years!

Nothing except the same woman with or without a hat on!

Dammit! I can't even look at her anymore!

Not even paintings?

That's right. --Thanks a lot.

I'm telling you as a friend... --Of course...

A friend who takes me for neurotic cause I paint always the same thing...

Right... sometimes with a hat, sometimes not.

You may not like it, but others do. --But do YOU like it?

Where are you going with this?

You always paint the same woman because you can't forget her.

You can't let the past possess you. --What if I like it?

To live in the past? In my memories?

You know what Levi-Strauss said before dying?

" I think of the present and of the world in which I'm just finishing my existence. This is not a world I love.”

Same for me... I don't love it either.

I don't know where I'm going.

The only thing I enjoy is sleeping.

Well... I think that's all there's to say.

Thanks for cheering me up. --You did all by yourself...

I don't know who you're against... well... actually I do... against yourself.

I'm going.

May I ask you a favor? --Anything.

Call Alice and tell her I'm fine.

Why don't you call yourself? --No, I can't... not yet...

She would ask questions I have no answer for.

Will you call her? --Yes, I will. --Thanks.

Take care and let me hear from you!

Can you give me a ride, mate?

Where to? --A bit further down the road, to town center.

Thank you.

OK.

Is it good here?

Is it?

Where do you wanna go then?

I don't know. --What you mean? You don't know where you live?

Doesn't matter... I can't go there.

Did you run away from home? --I didn't leave... my mother threw me out.

She threw you out? --Yes, she did... kicked me out.

I don't believe you, she can't kick you out like that.

But she did... and now I'm here. --No, if you had a fight you gonna work it out.

What about your father? --My stepfather!

That pig only wants to fuck me! It's that asshole's fault if she threw me out!

Listen... it's not my business... I'll take you home. --Not home!

Where then? Don't you have friends or relatives to go to?

I have no one and I need no one.

OK, you need no one. I'll drop you at the police station.

They're here for this.

You old men are all the same! Always kicking me out!

I'm not kicking you out! --Forget it! I'm going!

Get in! You gonna get a cold!

Get in!

Get in...

Come on, you gonna get sick...

Get in already!

So? --I don't know what to do!

I'm tired! I'm exhausted!

I'm tired too and I need to sleep. I'll pay for an hotel room and tomorrow we'll see.

What fucking hotel you have in mind?

I'm not your stepfather! Get in or not but make up your mind already!

What you gonna do then?

OK, bye!

Wait!

Evening... two rooms, please.

Two rooms...

Shower or tub? --As you see we already showered.

Make it tub. --Two rooms with tubs.

We only have one with bathtub.

The other one has got shower... they're not on the same floor, is it a problem?

No, why would it be? --Maybe your daughter wants to stay near you.

Nevermind, I'm not his daughter. --Ah, she's not...

No, she's not.

Listen, moron... I don't know what idea you have in mind...

Just give us 2 rooms, with tub, shower, spa...

...a bucket, a zinc washbowl, I don't care!

Take.

You don't play around, do you? --Especially tonight.

You've really put him in his place!

MAX CALLED ME. COME BACK, I'LL HELP YOU. I NEED YOU, I LOVE YOU.

I'll have a coffee then I'll take you to your mother's.

I told you she doesn't want me around.

You're a minor, therefore you must live in your parents house.

I'll talk to her.

She won't listen. --We'll see.

She won't take me back because of that bastard.

She's your mother, she'll do the right thing.

Are you kiddin? You're not afraid of beatings.

Shit! There she is! --Who?

My mother! Stop here!

You stay here, I better go alone.

Mom, it's me!

Mom, please open!

Open the door, mom!

Ma'am... it's your daughter here!

You can't run away like that!

Ma'am! --Mom!

You asshole! What you're doing to my wife?

Leave him alone! --You shut up!

Shut up! We don't want you here!

Go away with this old idiot! Fucking bitch!

Son of a...

I told you she wouldn't come off.

Is that your stepfather?

Yes. --Charming guy.

Charming?

Beats up my mother and wants to fuck me... he's sick!

Why don't she turn him in?

No way, she's too ashamed.

She thought he was gonna change.

She buys everything he tells her.

He told her I am a little tease.

Are you? --No, I'm not!

But she believed him and became jealous.

That's why she kicked me out.

Like I am a piece of shit.

I'll go clean up, go to the bathroom if you need to.

Where are you going? Were you gonna leave me here?

No, I just forgot... --I'm not stupid! --Fine, I was leaving!

My life disgusts you... --What the hell do you think??

I don't feel like driving around with a messed up kid! I've got plenty of problems myself!

Yes, I'm going! I'm leaving! I'm fleeing!

Where to?

I don't know, alright?? --But you'll pass through some town...

Yes, I most certainly will! --Could you leave me there?

Is that alright?

Alright, get in.

Are you mad?

Yes... you're mad at me. You're upset...

Yes, I am upset... that's right!

You're kicked out and I have my nose broken... nice turnout for me.

Don't you stop? --No.

Where are we going? --You'll see.

What's your name?

Marilou, like in the song.

Never heard it.

And you?

Taillandier, like the guidebook.

Beautiful...

I'm hungry, are you?

So many choices...

So... you decided yet?

I'll start with a crab salad... then I'll see.

Good... and you, Miss?

Do you have fries and burgers? --Desolated, Miss... they're not in the menu.

But there's a McDonald's down the road.

What about french fries?

Yes. --And steak? --Of course...

Then chop up a steak with fries, problem solved.

Alright... and for drinks?

Coca-cola I presume... --No, Fanta.

Sir? --A glass of white wine.

White wine...

Very good, sir.

"Very good, sir"... "of course, sir"... what a dick...

Do you have a job? --Painter.

A buddy of mine does that too! He told me it's a tough job.

Especially hard in wintertime.

Something else? Dessert... coffee... --Some cheese, please.

Very good, sir... and for you?

Do you have ice-cream?

Of course. --What flavors?

Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, mango or pear sorbet... and the "mystery".

What's "mystery"? --If he tells you, it's no longer a mystery.

Do you have rooms?

Of course, sir.

My TV doesn't work... may I?

If you have to... --Scooch over.

What's this?

Some American bullshit series.

What is it about?

It's...

You're already down.

You thought I was gonna leave you here...

There's a little house in the outskirts, near the beach... weekly rent, furnished...

Very simple, but it's good for 2 or 3 people.

Sounds good.

Are you with someone? --Yes, with my daughter.

Wanna see it? --Yes.

Will you drive me? --Of course.

It's a short drive. --Get in.

You...

Get in the back, come on!

Miss.

Which way? --To the right.

Your daughter will be happy having her dad all for herself.

Do you know this country?

Yes! We always came here when I was a kid... right, dad?

I went to the club Mickey.

I never heard of that... --Because it didn't exist in your days...

How far it is yet? --Not much, 100 meters to the left.

The one with the blue shutters.

Here? --Yes.

You'll see, it's not big but it's very cozy.

It's perfect for just you and your daughter.

This is the living room, a bedroom there and a smaller one there...

As I told you, it's small but charming... --What a hole...

Here is the garden, very charming itself, and a surprise...

The icing on the cake... the garden leads straight to the sea!

Does the rent includes a motorbike to get to the beach? --I'll take it.

Great! Now you just have to sign the contract.

Why a house?

I prefer the hotel. --Hotels get controlled... I don't wanna end up in jail.

Why would you? --Cause you're a minor!

If your mother reports this I'll be in trouble.

She kicked me out... she won't look for me now.

I'll get the basics... you get yourself what you want.

Really?

Here... organize the fridge, please.

OK... it's better if I do that myself...

There...

This goes here...

This one here...

Butter goes...

...in the butter dish...

The yogurt here...

And this... what's this crap?

Done.

Are you wondering what you're doing here?

I'm wondering too, looking at you here... in this hole.

If you wanna go, I understand... I'll drive you to the station and give you some cash.

I don't want your money.

I didn't say I wanna leave... besides, where would I go? --I don't know... it's up to you...

I got it... you're hiding, you escaped from something...

That's why you're afraid of the police... what did you do?

Did you kill someone?

Yes... I killed a painter.

What?

Are you making fun of me? --"Of course, Miss"...

Shit! You scared me!

Let's cook dinner. --OK, I'll take care of that.

Careful, it's hot!

Let's eat.

Dammit!

There... bon appetit.

Hey! I found the Checkers.

You know how to play? --Yes, a little.

I used to play with my mother, she was good.

But sometimes I won too.

In this case...

Ok, I'm done. --Bad loser!

Morning... --Morning!

I feel weird. --Why?

Waking up in a new house... --Better than the hotel, isn't it?

My granddaughters have that too for breakfast, "Chocapic".

You have granddaughters? --Yes, two.

So you got kids. --What perspicacity!

A wife too? --Yes.

And money? --What are all these questions?

You have a wife, kids, a house, money... and you're here. --Yes, so what?

It's because you don't love your wife anymore, right?

Not at all... I loved her when I left and I still do.

Then she kicked you out cause she's got another man!

No, no... well, I don't think so...

Are you done? You're starting to...

Yes, but... you're kind of a nutcase...

Who escapes from all that?

I've already been told the same thing... yes, I escaped from all that, maybe because of all that.

I don't understand. --There's nothing to understand.

Bikes!

Can I ride to town?

It's far. --About 6 kilometers.

Why do you ask me? You're going anyway!

Don't be late!

Here, take... you might need it.

Thanks, I'll repay you... --Yes, go now.

Taillandier!

I know it's late but it wasn't my fault!

The bike chain fell off and I couldn't fix it!

It's true! Look at my hands!

See? Thank God I got helped.

Some supercool kids.

Taillandier! Taillandier!

Taillandier! Get up!

Get up, Taillandier! Dammit! Get up!

Don't leave me! Don't leave me!

It's ok... it's ok...

You scared the shit out of me!

Don't do it again! --I can't promise... but I'll try not to...

I'm sorry...

About what? --About slapping you...

You've been dying to do it...

Your mom has a cellphone? --No, the jerk won't let her... for jealousy.

Home phone? --Yes, but he answers all the times and when he leaves, he disconnect it.

We have to try.

What for... she'll hang up. --Yes, but...

I can't keep you here, it's not right... I told you, I could go to jail.

I'll bring you oranges... --Yea...

Very kind of you...

Let's go home.

Don't you wanna take a swim? --I don't have a swimsuit.

I'm going to sleep... you should do the same.

Don't stand so close to the TV, it'll harm your eyes.

Coffee? --Yes.

Taillandier...

Yes?

Does it happen frequently?

What?

You falling down, like yesterday.

It's nothing, just my heart... it plays tricks on me.

Can't it be treated?

Of course it can, but I'm not gonna set foot in a hospital.

That smell of pee and ether... no thanks.

I won't give my body to science while I'm still alive.

The guy who's gonna cut me open like a fish is not born yet.

What's funny?

Cut me like a fish (POISSON)... isn't born yet (C'EST PAS NAIT)... "poisson pané" (fried fish).

Is that funny? You're easily amused...

Gosh... what a drag...

What a sour face... --And you with that parrot-like hair and clown clothes.

What you say? --

I say those colored hair streaks are just ridiculous!

And you can't go around dressed like that!

Who are you to talk to me like that? Have you looked at yourself?

Those pants and that logger shirt!

Always angry, always complaining...

I've just about had it!

Marilou... open!

What the... are you out of your mind?

It's that... you didn't answer so I thought...

Thought what?

Nothing... I just wanted to say I'm sorry, I'm an idiot.

That's OK... all forgotten.

Alright... shall we go buy a swimsuit?

Can we do it later? I have an appointment right now.

An appointment? Who do you know here?

The guys from the other day, they fixed my bike and we had a drink... they're cool.

OK.

Will you clean your room first? --It's already clean.

You think so?

OK, it's clean...

That's my room, not the fridge...

Alright.

Have you found something? --The black one... do you have it smaller?

I think so, I'll go check. We have it also white.

All fine, sir? --Yes, yes...

Sweet! What a change! It was about time...

Yes, yes... have you found a swimsuit?

Let me see. --No, it's a surprise.

Most important, no streaks... --Absolutely... none of that. You won't recognize her.

2,80 please.

Thanks.

There you go. --Thanks, have a nice day.

90 cents. Thanks, have a nice day.

Morning, sir. --Morning.

Thanks... and the newspaper... 60,30 please.

OK... see you tonight then?

Bye. --Bye then...

So, what do you think?

No helmet? --'Twas only 20 meters...

That's more than enough to... --I know...

The bike? --I left it back, I'll get it later.

Tonight I'm going to the disco.

What? You're not 18 yet... --But I look 18... no one's gonna check me.

Do you like it?

Ehm.... yes.

I'm going swimming.

Come on! Come here!

The water is great! --Good.

What are you doing? --Diving head-first... in my own way.

Drawing?

I try.

Can I see it? --No... later.

Hang on... wait...

Alright... let's see...

No, as before...

No! I told you later! --Now is later... I have the right to see it.

I'm no expert but they're beautiful.

Thanks.

You have to continue, it's clearly your thing.

You think so? --Have you painted yet? I mean, paintings...

Yes, a little bit.

Why did you stop? --I no longer felt like doing it, so I hung up the brushes.

Too bad... these are lovely.

You draw very well. Will you take me to town?

Aren't you dining home? --No, we're going to a creperie

Don't you mind, do you? --Not at all.

Are you going now? --Not now, in an hour... the we'll go to 'Le Bastion'.

Mathias will take me. --Ah... who?

Mathias, the boy with the scooter.

You seem older dressed like that.

Didn't you have something less... --Less what?

A bit more... --I'm not going to a funeral.

Isn't that too much make-up? --Why? Do I look like a whore?

Stop here. --Here?

Why? Oh, you're ashamed to be seen with me...

Don't be late! OK? --Ok, Ok...

Hares have hair under their feet...

Here's the foot of a hare killed last Sunday...

Look how much hair under the foot...

That's why it leaves so little smell on the ground...

Imagine a hare that's running in the furrows of a clay field......

Bowls of ground form under the feet...

Dogs can't smell it anymore...

Sir! Sir! Excuse me...

Do you know a club called 'Le Bastion'?

One kilometer to the left. --To the left... thank you.

Evening. --I'm looking for someone, can I...

Alright... come in.

Do you know a girl named Marilou? With a very short skirt...

You don't?

Do you know a girl called Marilou? No?

Do you know Marilou? --The men's room is over there...

She's about 16, with a red top and a very short skirt.

No... --No... --You don't? Thanks...

Good night... good night...

I'm looking for a girl, Marilou... ever heard of her? --No...

She's about 16... --No minors allowed in here.

Wait... I'm not a cop... I'm looking for my... my daughter.

Do you have a picture? --No...

She's with a bunch of guys, one called Mathias.

Yea, those pricks... we threw them out a while ago, they're troublemakers.

Ok, thank you.

Good night.

Sir! Wait!

Sometimes they go to the boats, you never know...

Let me go! Let me go! --Come here!

Let me go!

Have a drink, come on! --Make her drink!

Spread her legs!

Run! Run!

Leave him alone!

You've come to get beaten? --Get lost, old fart!

What the fuck! What do you want?

Marilou, come here.

Let her go!

Ok... ok... we're going...

Get lost.

Bunch of assholes... fucking pigs...

What's got into you? Why?

I think you had way too much to drink.

I can't be always around playing Rambo...

Let's go.

The sea cleanses.

You feel cleaner.

Turn your head on this side.

Thank you.

No! No! No way! --What... --Take it off!

How is that the hat was on in the other drawing?

I take it all off except the hat. --No, just the hat!

I'm not ashamed! My body or another body for you is the same... it's just a body!

You got that right.

But you don't need to show me your butt... I'd rather imagine it.

What you mean "rather imagine"? I'm not a broom you know... I'm actually not that bad!

I know you're not that bad... but for a painter imagining is better than seeing... it's more...

It's more sensual than reality.

Got it? --Not a word.

Stop! --What? --A fish market!

I'm making scallops flambe tonight, I have the recipe...

Thanks but I prefer the restaurant... I don't wanna burn down the house.

Plus we have to celebrate. --Yes? What?

The death of the "lady with the hat". --Another dead? Wasn't the painter enough?

So... today we have...

In addition to the manu, as a special, shrimps with white wine, anglerfish curry with coconut milk...

A really superb salmon pie...

I assume fried burgers for the Miss...

Is there "jerks" in the menu?

You deserved it, mate... have you never been her age?

Of course... --And back then didn't you eat fries and burgers?

Very good, sir...

So, Marilou... what you're having?

Scallop flambe.

She also likes other things.

And for you? --Grilled sole and foie gras to start.

Good, and for beverage?

Two glasses of Champagne. --Great! --Great.

Then... the '94 Chateau Angelus.

Excellent choice, sir! --It is!

If you gonna have apple-pie you gotta order it now.

With vanilla ice-cream? --Or whipped cream... or both.

Then we'll have 2 pies with ice cream and whipped cream... a lot of it.

Coming up!

Damn... I drank the whole thing...

I'm full. --Can I have it?

Go ahead, just don't get sick.

How did you become a painter? --'Twas my grandma's fault.

I got the bug when I was a kid.

First you experiment... you steal... you imitate...

You have no idea where you're going to, then one day...

Something else appears in the daylight.

And nevermore leaves you.

We all need an example, in painting just like in life.

For me it's always been Degas, Courbet, Renoir...

Also painters like Rauschenberg...

An American abstract expressionist.

There's such a huge energy in his paintings, an incredible freedom...

Very, very impressive.

Thanks to him, I got to understand that a painting can be good even without being nice....

It just has to be "right".

I got to meet Rauschenberg.

"Talander!"

He spoke with American accent... "Talander"...

We talked about painting, we always agreed.

You know... I had never been...

...so touched.

I'm an old fool.

And old fools always end up talking about themselves.

Hey! Are you OK? --Yes, I'm OK...

By the way, I wanted to ask you something... do you go hunting?

I'm a fisherman... a poor one.

Then why you carry around a rifle?

That was...

...for...

...saving young stupid kids...

...who can't see past their noses.

You're strangely quiet... what's wrong?

Nothing.

All the things you told me at the restaurant really impressed me.

How come?

The painting... Rousc-something... everything. You know a lot of things.

So what? --After that, I see you in a different way.

You should have told me you were not a painter of houses.

Rossini... ever heard?

It's a kind of steak, right?

He's a genial author...

He wrote many operas and the "tournedos Rossini" were named after him.

Sounds right for a steak. --Yes.

One day, a woman who was an admirer, bowed in front of him and asked him...

"How should I refer to you? Maestro? Excellence? Highness?"

You know what he replied? --No idea.

"Call me 'my darling'"

Then what?

Nothing.

Taillandier. --Yes?

I had an idea but... you won't like it. --Let's hear it.

Tomorrow, near the cafe, there's a flea market.

So? --I thought that maybe we could try and sell some of you drawings.

Since you made those for me, as I am the model, well...

We could share the profits and that way I can pay you back.

Pay back what?

Everything... the restaurant, the hotel, the swimsuit, you didn't need to do all of that.

And the other night too... you've done plenty for me, I'm not used to...

I thought we can sell them for 10 euros a drawing.

If we sell 10, we'll get 100 euros.

100 euros?

Not bad... not bad at all...

Listen, Marilou... we gonna double it.

I'll buy more material and we gonna work all day...

And tomorrow we gonna go for 200 euros.

Do you have any Canson sketchbooks left? --No, sorry... just those ones.

Ok.

This one...

This one too.

And the paper.

ANOTHER VICTIM OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

...AFTER A SAVAGE BEATING HE THREW HER OUT OF THE WINDOW...

MARILOU, THE VICTIM'S DAUGHTER, WASN'T IN THE APARTMENT.

THE POLICE IS STILL LOOKING FOR THE YOUNG GIRL.

Ready?

What's wrong?

Here...

She's being taken care now, she'll be alright.

That pig!

Anytime you wanna go... --Now? --Now.

Mrs. Perrin, please.

Anne Perrin? --Yes, I'm the daughter.

She came tonight... she's still in I.C.U.

Wanna see her? --Yes.

Mom...

It's me, mom...

She can't see you.

What's with her eyes? She gonna be blind?

No but they're wounded, especially the left one.

The retina detached, she better not open it.

Son of a bitch!

Also, her jaw is fractured.

What else?

3 broken ribs, plus the left arm.

She got lucky.

Lucky?

He punched and kicked her... he would have killed her if not for the neighbors.

I'll be back as soon as I take care of a situation...

A big kiss.

To you as well.

Drink.

Thanks.

That asshole!

See what he did to her? --She'll be OK.

Yes, and he'll be OK too... --No, he's gonna pay for this.

I told the police where you were and why, now they wanna talk to me.

I asked what they gonna do to him.

A beating that might cause death, it's 5 years minimum.

Plus he has a record.

What? --They got him 16 years ago for the same thing.

He didn't tell my mother.

What a scumbag!

Where did they take him? Are they gonna release him?

He's in prison... --But where? He's crazy...

He's capable of anything! --No, no...

After what he has done they won't let him go for sure.

There are laws protecting you and your mother.

Mom will be safe for a while.

What about me now?

It's up to the juvenile court to decide.

Got any relatives? --You know I don't... --Right.

Maybe a safe house... --I'm leaving right now.

Well, also...

What...

You could also... --What?

A substitute family.

Can you translate that for me?

A foster home.

Octavio!

Here you are! Good dog!

Are you good?

The Quijote hangs on. --Still straight even under the snow.

You look good. --Yes... I feel good.

Let me see. --Right on!

Of course, is...

It's good.

It's very good. --Thanks.

"Chapeau"!

She really helped you out of the darkness.

Yes, well, both of us.

We helped each other.

Wake up, beautiful! --What time is it?

Time to get up, I need you.

And Taillandier? --He sent me... come or he's gonna eat all the croissants!

Taillandier! Don't you dare! --Be nice and clean your room.

I can't get used to this. --To what?

Her calling you Taillandier. --Ah... she's always called me like that.

How are you? --Great.

No "good morning"?

Good morning...

Here... it's for you.

It's my mom.

She is much better!

There! --I know.

Thank you.

For all you've done... --No, you don't need to...

Well... goodbye, ma'am. --Goodbye, sir.

OK... I'm on my way.

Bye, Marilou.

Bye, Taillandier.

Don't wear too much make-up.

No...
