Original subtitles

And here we are!

Should we unpack the groceries now?

No, I'll be on it later.

Sure. I'll help.

Oh my god!

How long have you had this place?

I don't know, ages

Oh Olivier this is lovely

This is just what I needed

Thanks.

I figured you could take the room at the start of the corridor,

and we would sleep upstairs

Perfect

What is she doing here again?

I thought this was a

'let's romantically escape to my parents holiday house' week?

Well now it's a 'let's bump into my friend

who's just been dumped and cheer her up' week?

Damn,

packed a bunch of lube instead of antidepressants

What? Alzheimer's already?

Do I know you?

Thanks for this

I just want to make sure we spend some time together

We will

Promise?

I've found the bar!

Promise

So you can just come here whenever, your family are cool with that?

Yeah of course,

it just takes quite a long time to come here

so I don't come that often.

To be honest I used to hate coming here until not so long ago

Why? It's beautiful here.

Well it's just, there's just nothing here you know?

However beautiful it is the teenage me was

in search of a little more excitement you know

I would have loved coming here

How did you end up in the South of France?

I went on an exchange programme during our MA,

I met Vincent, we were living the dream,

three years later he cheats on me with that French bitch,

James messaged me,

you know the rest

I'm going to get some more

Has she changed much?

Yeah, I don't know.

I think she's just a little down in the dumps.

We weren't like close friends, she was just on my MA.

I kind of thought we'd just meet for a coffee in Nice,

I didn't realize she'd end up coming here

Let me guess, mojitos?

I think you'll find it's pronounced "mojitos" con la "j"

Oh yeah, that's right

Caroline.

I'm glad you came, it will be nice to catch up

Yeah. I'm just happy you invited me

Well I'll get started on these mojitos

No no no, he'd be more like "that's good, that's good"

That's right

Your MA sounds like it was a lot of fun

It was all right

So are you thinking of staying in France or...

No, I'm going to leave as soon as possible

You're going back home?

No! I was thinking about travelling.

Discovering the world

That's a nice plan

Where would you start?

I don't know actually.

Well I was looking at the book you have here

and I was thinking South America.

Spanish isn't too different from French.

I've always wanted to see Machu Picchu

Oh no no, wait.

I'm sorry but it's all so touristy.

Everyone goes to South America thinking they are original

and living a unique adventure but,

we're actually all doing the exact same trip.

Originality, zero

Okay. Err, maybe the Australian East Coast?

That's even worse

Well then, I don't know

Well I'm sure whatever you do it will be great

Shall I make some coffee?

Oh thanks

What?

This place is so beautiful

Yeah

-You okay? -Yeah

I think I'm just a bit stressed you know

About what?

I don't know. Work and...

Well it's the first time

I've been away with someone I really like

You like me?

I love you

I love you too

How many others have you brought here?

So many I've stopped counting

No never

I'm really happy to be here

Me too

Oh wow, incredible

Why didn't you bring us here yesterday?

Don't get too excited it's probably freezing

Before you jump in could you give me a hand with the chairs?

Let me think...

No!

Hi

Morning

Do you want a chair?

No, but I'll take a towel

Sure

Ah, Lolita

Have you ready it?

Who hasn't?

Me, apparently

Well the ending was crap

I don't really care about the ending of stories

You should.

Every story's purpose is to lead to one specific ending

Agree to disagree

Do you play games?

Only if I find a worthy opponent

Chess?

Too slow

Tennis?

Too fast

Cards?

Sure

I'll bring the deck

And just like that, she wins again!

So what did you enjoy more, the game or the ending?

What's that saying again? Lucky in cards unlucky in love?

-I'm sorry -Don't

I'm going to go get a drink, do you want one?

I'm okay thanks

-Hey -Hey.

How you doing?

Yeah, good. You?

I'm going for a swim.

So,

how high can you jump?

We're going into the village if you want to come

Do you need to the lens cap off?

Should we take the ice creams away?

No, let me get a picture of you two

Do you want me to hold both?

Er...

-Yeah. -Yeah.

Can I have some of yours? It looks amazing

Please don't

That's nice

That one's a bit weird

It's actually quite nice close up

No, it's a bit weird

Should we move on guys?

Yeah, sorry

I swear France is just so much more romantic than England.

I think it's probably the weather though

Okay, I don't want to alarm you, but there's a massive spider...

Don't get me please

What did they use it for, was it like, some place to wash clothes?

You all right?

Yeah. It's lovely

You're enjoying it, don't you?

James

Cheers!

Really good to see you again

Really good to see you again

These are just the things I remember. She's so sweet.

What is she doing now?

She's just started psychology

What does she want to be?

A psychologist

We'd just get like, free passes to all the other ones in the area

Would you like me to carry your bag?

-Would you mind? -Sure

I love this arch

It's a shame they didn't have strawberries.

Strawberry mojitos are amazing.

Strawberry mojitos are for girls

Don't try and tell me two gay guys wouldn't want to try some?

Touche

How long have you two been together?

About a year?

We met at a party, two years ago

And when did you come out?

I came out just before starting university

And I came out right after uni, after my BA

A 100% gay?

Never been with a woman

Never have, never will, end of story

What about you?

Never since coming out

I don't know if I believe in being a 100% gay or straight

Have you been with a woman?

No. But if I'm honest, there are definitely been times

where I've felt something beyond a simple simple friendship

with another woman you know?

Just for moment, but still

You guys have heard of the Kinsey scale right?

Oh wait no I'm sorry I'm gay and I've never heard of it

Olivier

No wait, if you want to talk interesting sexual scales

let's talk Klein Sexual Orientation Grid

Oh god please stop,

I've had enough of these conversation for a lifetime.

Right, cocktails are ready,

let's go into the living room

Okay, what would you hate to lose?

Oh, good one

My virginity?

Seriously

-My sense of humour -Oh my god sorry,

it's impossible to play with him.

I would hate to lose my...

sense of integrity.

Knowing what you stand for- what?

It keeps me on track. You know your values

Seriously James, it's a little deep for this kind of game, isn't it?

Caroline, what would you hate to lose?

My boyfriend. Oh no wait, that's already happened

Men. Bastards.

God, imagine being one and dating one, double the horror!

Two wrongs make a right no?

No, I don't think so

"Men are like parking spots:"

"the good ones are taken and the rest are too small"

No wait, "Men are like handguns:"

"keep one around long enough and you're going to want to shoot it"

Guys if this continues much longer I'm going to have to have a sex change

Oh god no, don't do that.

Two women!

I'll leave you to talk about periods and diets

Actually yeah...

Sounds lovely

She'll hear us

Who cares?

James

James

I'm sleepy

I'm going to bed

You sleep well?

No, not really

I'm going to go to the pool

Do you want to do something?

Game of backgammon? Ping pong?

Or just, talk?

No, not really

Oh come on, let's do something, anything!

It's the holidays, let's have fun!

James, I got dumped a week ago, sorry if I'm not in the mood

Hey! Do you want to-

I feel like, last night, aliens came down, took my brain,

put it in a blender,

and then placed it back into my skull

Fuck sake

You'd think you'd feel it happening.

You'd do something before it's too late you know?

You usually don't realize it's happening

And he was asleep

Still, it's sucks

It's just a minor heatstroke.

He'll probably sleep it off

Anyway, here is to the Brit

who thought he was stronger than the French sun

How very Icarus of him

-Merci Monsieur -De rien Madame

Mademoiselle

Oh pardon!

Tu parles francais?

Er, non.

You'd think with my name and everything

My dad does

Do you have any music?

Only crappy old CDs to go with the crappy old CD player

Sounds perfect

Technically it doesn't,

but I suppose we can give it a go

Not too loud

You were right. This is quite crappy old music

I like it

So tell me how is it to have done everything?

What do you mean?

Well, seems you've travelled everywhere,

got a well paid job, a loving boyfriend...

a house in the south of France!

It's quite perfect

Well yes it is!

You just have a terrible sense of humour

I don't think I have a perfect life

People see what they want to see

No. Of course you don't

Are you annoyed?

No

Come dance

There's just one thing I don't quite understand

You seem agitated

like there's something troubling you

Maybe you're projecting Caroline

Why were you watching me at the pool all day?

I wasn't

Please

Don't act all innocent

Why are you downstairs with me instead of upstairs with your boyfriend?

He's not feeling well

All the more reason

What's this all about?

I'm just trying to understand what would make you happy

Maybe I already know?

And I can keep a secret

There's no secret to be kept

You're telling me you're happy?

Yeah

Well I guess I misread the signs

I'm going to go to bed

Fuck me

What no? I'm tired

Fuck me

-Is this like a panama hat? -Yeah

You can have that one

OK

Oh, Cambridge punter!

So cute

No not, that one

Honestly,

I don't even need a hat

You look ridiculous

I look like the straw man

Oh no okay if I'm going to wear a hat it's going to be this one

Okay I'm going to tie it up

Stop stop, I don't even need it!

Look, I'm not even burnt, I'm fine,

I just got a bit hot

Okay well just wear this one

No, not even the Cambridge punt

That is definitely a girl's hat

Hi Caroline

You feeling better?

Yeah, thanks

Hey, have you stayed in touched with Leila by any chance?

I heard she started an NGO

and I was thinking she might be able to help me

You've seen my book?

No. Sorry

In your room maybe? Or by the pool?

What's up with Caroline?

She okay?

Hum

What?

Nothing

Did you say something?

What?

Did you upset her?

Why would you assume I upset her?

You can be a bit honest sometimes, Oliv

You know she's going through a rough time

Believe me I think she's quite all right

She told you that?

Not exactly

She's just been dumped by her boyfriend of three years.

She dropped out of her MA and moved to France for him

how can you even imagine she's feeling okay about it?

Are you annoyed at her for being here?

Are you annoyed at me for inviting her?

No. Can we drop this?

Fine

But if there's anything wrong you tell me okay?

Yeah

There's no way you're winning now

I'm going for a swim

Okay

What's going on?

We just had a slight disagreement

I didn't approve of the way she sees certain things

And I think he's in denial

What were you two even arguing about?

Identity.

Or the misinterpretation of someone's identity actually

What do you think, can people change who they are?

Well no, I don't think people do really change

So you're the same person you were when you were fifteen?

Of course not,

but the changes are superficial.

The core of you remains the same

Okay...then the question becomes

what's superficial and what's at your core?

A question no one will ever be able to answer

Look, we're all responsible, hopefully mature adults,

can we talk about something else please?

All be friends again?

I'm sorry Olivier.

Obviously things have been a little rough lately.

I'm a little lost

No it's fine

I should have realized and been more open minded.

I'm sorry

Now,

To friendship

To friendship

Olivier!

Yeah?

You're sure it's fine for me to wear your mum's dungarees?

She's not going to hate me?

Yeah, but you should probably wear one of my old t-shirts underneath it

This one?

Yeah, sure

This is ridiculous

What's going on here?

Just looking for a t-shirt I can properly ruin.

Like this one

Come on, let's go, I've got the paints ready

I love this! I haven't done it in ages

Too bad you're shit at it

Um, I like the colors

It's life

Abstract

What are you drawing?

I don't know

A curve

You're even worse than James at this

Oh my god!

I'm not in the best position for this!

Oh my god feeling slightly outnum- oh!

No no no

No please please please! No!

Olivier, Olivier, teach her a lesson

Let me go, let me go! I'm really sorry

There are so many colours to choose from:

Red, Green – what would Jackson Pollock do?

I think he'd go for all of them

Yeah, you're right

No no I didn't mean to get so much on you

Time to pay Caroline

-You're hurting me -We make a great team babe

No seriously, James, you're hurting me

James seriously!

What? What is it?

Just my necklace

Stupid gift

Who from?

I'll let you guess

Well, maybe it's time our creative mind had a break

James is a nice guy

Yeah he is

Tell me about him

Well he's a nice guy, he's a genuinely nice guy

He's your boyfriend, I hope you've got more to say

I never met anyone like him.

He's young, ambitious, idealistic.

And he has this beautiful face you know.

It's soft and manly at the same time.

And he's great in bed

Has he ever cheated on you?

No

Have you ever cheated on him?

No.

Never even thought about it?

No

I don't believe you

I think everyone in a relationship has.

We're only human.

You know I didn't really like you at the beginning of the holiday

Well I didn't really like you either

Do you like me enough to sit next to me now?

I dare you

Tell me about your first kiss with James

I was drunk

Well, we were drunk

It was soft at first

Then he really went for it

He bit my lip

It was hot, I wasn't expecting it

When was the last time you kissed a girl?

A while

I know you're gay

But I wouldn't stop you if you tried to kiss me

I think I'll pass

Then do you think you can stop watching me at the pool?

I think this conversation is over

I wonder what James would think about all this?

If you dare day anything to James

So you admit there is something to say

Don't even think about it

The way you let your emotions take over is pathetic

You're thirty and you're acting like a fifteen year old

Leave me alone Caroline

Is that what you really want?

Do you enjoy acting like this?

Maybe

What did you do?

What's your problem?

What did you do to her?

Who?

Don't play dumb with me. She left

What? When?

You tell me!

Why is it always my fault James?

Oh I don't know,

maybe it was me who pissed her off while I was reading?

She wouldn't do that

Well now you've got what you wanted, just the two of us right?

I'll go get her, there's only one bus stop

I'll try calling her

Get in!

Caroline, get in!

-I'm sorry about before -Don't

Hey

Everything all right?

You were gone a long time

She took a long time to find

She's just gone inside to rest

I could do with one of those

Thanks for bringing her back

You scared me!

What are you guys doing?

I was just asking her if she wanted a drink.

What are you doing?

Just came to see if everything was all right

And I needed a towel

Okay

I'm sorry for being such a drama queen earlier

Yeah James completely freaked out

Your reaction was quite excessive to.

To say the least

Anyway, I'm back, I'm sorry,

I'll be on drink duties for the rest of our time here I promise

So, let's go get some

Is that it?

Yeah. I think it's only fair I give James one as well

We haven't spent much time together

If you say so

No, we haven't

Well, why don't we spend this evening together,

just go for a walk

That would be nice

There's a loose rock. Careful

Oh my god

This is absolutely stunning

It's so peaceful

Yeah

Yeah it is

You'd tell me

if anything was the matter, wouldn't you?

Why are you asking that?

You just seemed a bit tense at the beginning of the week,

I just wanted to make sure that you felt like you could tell me

if anything was bothering you

You were the one who was a bit tense at the beginning of the week

How are you feeling?

Fine

You?

Fine too

I love you

I really love you Olive

Why all of this love all of a sudden?

Is it the side effect of the sun setting on Provence?

I just want to make sure you know

Well you've made it perfectly clear

I'm being serious

Me too

Well, your salve has finally finished.

I even went crazy and made drinks that aren't mojitos

Oh I love this song!

This CD was the best discovery of the night

I think it was have even come out within the last fifty years?

Right?

What are the lines?

Come on. Let's make a list.

You're supposed to be a slave today, remember

Excuse me, I've been doing my back breaking work

She wants to be dominated

No drinks were hard enough, I don't think I could commit any further

Oh no I think you'd love it. Being whipped

No I don't think I would like it, being whipped

He's quite into his bondage James

I've never been whipped

Yeah yeah

No, I've never been whipped

You guys? You ever been whipped?

No we haven't tried it. Olivier is too boring

You look really tired. We need to wake you up!

I'm not tired

I got you some...

Where's your whiskey?

I'm not tired

Have you finished your whiskey?

You've finished your whiskey!

No, it's still going. I am energised

You're so energised. He's so energised right now

So energised you're horizontal

Come on

I am energised

So energised

He is, he is, believe me

How are you?

I'm fucking going for it right now.

Right in my head

-In your head? -Yeah

Just by myself

I really love you Olive

I know

Guys come on, didn't you have enough time in the woods

to have all these meaningless declarations?

It's not meaningless

No, of course not

To love!

Love

Let's go to the pool

Yeah

It will be freezing

Who cares?

Come on.

Come on.

You first. -You first.

You ready, you ready, you ready?

On the count to three:

one, two, three!

Oh my god!

James, come here!

James come in, it's so warm, it's so warm!

Come on!

I'm too tired for this

Oh boo

Come on!

James, come on.

-Shut up -Let's do lengths

Oh God.

No... I'm good.

OK. Wait.

-I feel sick. -Just Shut up.

Where's my drink?

No.

Oh God.

Do you think James is all right?

What?

-Do you think James is okay? -He'll be fine

Boo!

Jesus, James, that's really fucking scary

Scary? That wasn't scary

I hate this game

I thought you liked games

Yeah not stupid ones like this

Then I didn't know you as well as I thought I did

Do you know what would be really scary?

Is if I told you I'd found your necklace,

hadn't said anything,

and then broken it into small pieces,

and thrown it away

Did you?

No, never

I really hope you find it

Boo! Gotcha! And two in one I might add?

You two okay?

Yeah.

Can we go inside now, you've had your fun

I'm done with this too

I mean, hide and seek?

What? It's a tradition.

I always play it when I come here with friends

Maybe when you were 10?

Okay, let's play, a drinking game

Never have I ever had...role-play sex

Never have I ever played footsie with someone?

Played footsie? Who even says that?

Yeah, I don't think I ever have

Liar

Everyone has, no?

I don't seem to remember

Never have I ever...

been cheated on right in front of my eyes

Olivier?

Not that I know of

No no no. I'm asking if I should drink

James

Never have I ever felt threatened by a friend

And Olivier doesn't drink again

Than come up with something I might actually drink to

Never have I ever been sexually confused?

I've had enough of this game

Okay, another game

How about,

truth or dare?

Olivier, truth or dare?

Dare

Kiss Caroline

You sure about that?

Yeah I'm not sure I'm comfortable

Oh come on

what harm can it do? Just kiss him

Caroline

Truth or dare?

Dare

Please kiss my boyfriend

Caroline, question:

Do you find my boyfriend attractive?

Don't push me

I'm going to bed

Thanks for a brilliant last evening

Anytime

Caroline.

I forgot to give you a goodnight kiss

What is it about you huh?

What is it?

What makes you so fucking special?

Did you sleep with him?

Did you?

Yes, everyday since we arrived what do you want me to say?

Why are you doing this?

We invite you here

we've been nothing but nice and you just fuck things up!

Where's Olivier?

Oh yeah, blame him

James, you have no idea how this feels

You're so sad

And you're not?

I swear nothing happened

Sure

What's going on?

What's going on?

What's going on is that she's crazy, and you're a fucking liar

Did you hit her?

Yeah I did

Do you want to hit me Olivier?

For once in your life, know what you want and fucking do it!
