I love you, but I have someone else.
Is he better looking?
I don't want to talk about it.
I don't feel anything.
- But you've got a hard on! - Forget it.
We meet too often.
You call me all the time.
Because we know each other.
Say what you have to say.
Don't count on me to speak for you.
Our relation is only sex.
I love it. I can't help it. So do you.
You want a yogurt?
I want to suck your cock.
I thought it tasted funny.
No, something in you disgusts me,
but I don't think it's linked to the physical.
- What does he look like? - Tall,
cool, relaxed. Not old like you, old men disgust me.
You wanted a mature man and now it disgusts you.
- I never know what I want. - Decide.
It's worse not to decide.
- Shall we fuck anyway? - I don't know.
It goes too fast.
How about a blowjob?
I can't get it up. And I don't feel like it.
- I want to marry you. - Jerk!
- I want to marry you. - Stop kidding.
We're always together, might as well be useful.
Stop castigating yourself, and things will be better.
By the way, I'm thinking of firing you.
You were supposed to help me.
Your report on the Shopping Mall Case sucked.
You keep all the good cases, all I get are the shitty ones.
Stop biting your nails.
The practice is mine.
I want kids, a normal life.
Dip your fingers in lemon juice.
- It works? - Sure.
Biting nails shows a desperate desire to reveal the male sex within you.
- Like peeling a banana. - You bite your nails?
I'd love to.
I'll marry you when you love me.
Listen, we are both over thirty.
- I love you, you love me. - I want to slap you.
I am gay.
Before that, Buddhist or Catholic.
A way of saying fuck off to your parents.
Yes, I deserve the best cases, and I don't feel guilty for it!
If you want a hand out, I'll give you the next one.
For real?
If you don't like me, get another lawyer.
My boss is very talented.
She would have come, but...
I prepared your case...
Of course, a policeman is dead, the jeweler is dead,
his wife is paralyzed...
You'll get life.
Unless we can prove self-defense.
But the investigation shows that...
Anyway, I don't know how...
- I feel guilty. - Don't look at him.
- He's staring at me. - Tell me when to speak.
- You gave it to me. - You're over your head!
- Stop that. - I can't help it.
The court.
Be seated.
The court is in session.
Will the defendant rise.
You enjoy it, they laugh at you.
- I'm a loser. I got him life. - Drop it.
He'll rot in a cell with three nuts like him,
shitting together, screwing and insulting each other.
- It's horrible! - You sound jealous.
Better be a cashier in a supermarket, the bar code rules.
I agree.
For once. Agree on what?
Our marriage. I can accept that you don't love me.
Only you make me feel useful.
We'll have beautiful kids.
- Stop being so rational. - I think you're handsome.
I thought we were splitting?
I wanted you to insult me.
I love it when you're romantic.
You came to see me fail.
Your client's cute.
Cute, dumb and dangerous... Perfect for you.
We have similar tastes.
What do you mean?
Come out, darling, you'd do us all a favor.
- Except me. - As expected.
It's Marlene's brother.
The manic-depressive rock climber.
He's on his second suicide attempt.
If you looked at me like that, I'd marry you.
I'm undressing him with my eyes...
- Is that what you want? - Of course.
Alright, let's get married...
My parents will be happy,
your parents will see it as a miracle.
And we'll have kids...
- When's good for you? - I don't know... In June?
Like everybody, just before vacation.
What's your problem?
Do you want me to smash your face?
I can't stand fags!
- You want a drink? - I'm not thirsty.
- Some milk? - It makes me sick.
Get me some water, will you?
- Don't tell your sister I came up. - She doesn't care.
I sit on the bed, but it means nothing.
Take the stool if you want.
No, I'll sit on the mattress.
You sure you can do that?
How old are you, you look twelve.
- You're Marlene's brother? - Don't talk.
- All nymphos in your family. - Forget my sister.
I slept with her.
So it was your loud TV that kept us from studying.
- I feel like an old pervert. - Don't worry, I like old guys.
Do I look old?
I'm getting married...
My name's Christophe.
I know who you are.
You're worse than your sister.
You're afraid to touch me?
Try with condoms on your hands.
Shut up.
It feels like fucking my mother.
- It's exciting? - Not really.
Still playing maid?
Guess he's not too hungry.
Careful or you'll finish on all fours.
You should go see the counselor.
In my sleep I dream of her...
and I come.
After, it keeps me up all night.
What can she do about it?
You could be nice, sit and eat with me.
I want to see my mother.
Women in your life have a strange way to love.
How did you survive? I can't stand to look at the walls.
Stop counting...
and it gets easy.
I came, what about you?
What do you think?
I'm useless.
The great news is, you got a hard on.
You really don't love me?
I don't care. Love is for morons.
Love is jail, it destroys everything, it can't last.
Fuck love!
Let's try without condoms.
You tore it, you fucked me like a drill.
Sorry, but I lost my erection.
Then you thought of someone else.
Of course not. I thought of nothing.
What did you imagine?
Nothing, it just came back.
We could appeal if you want.
A life term is unbearable...
You have to fight.
We could ask for a lighter sentence.
You don't want to talk?
Help me. I'll give you an address...
Are we friends now?
You choose a pretty ring.
You won't have to pay.
Give it to my fiancée from me.
Your fiancée? Why didn't she ever come during the trial?
Tell her I love her.
I'll take her far away, we'll be happy.
Ask a friend or a parent to do that.
It would be more appropriate.
Nobody came at the trial.
There must be someone. Why me?
You're gay, no risk there.
I'm gay?
The way you look at me, you want to be fucked.
Really?
Many have wanted me to fuck them.
I don't want you to fuck me.
Tell her I'll get out.
You're not, they'll transfer you.
Get out your little notebook.
And write down the address.
I don't want to get fucked, and I hate playing messenger.
So...
I'd like to see Babette.
Babette... It's for you.
On TV, you look taller and bigger. You're the lawyer, right?
I have a message from Marc. Can we step outside?
- I'm busy right now. - It's important.
- Come back at seven. - It's in three hours!
Sorry, I'm working.
I can't wait for three hours...
I have to go.
You cut men's hair?
And poodles too...
No walk-ins.
How soon can Babette take me?
Right after this lady.
Have a seat.
There are magazines...
Just a trim, alright?
Don't worry, I have a lazy hand.
Here, from Marc.
What is it? Why two?
Sorry...
Only one is for you.
He loves you, he wants to marry you,
and take you on a far away island.
Forgive the style, I'm only a messenger.
Do you like stupid people?
Depends in what position.
Standing. Marc's always been limited.
I don't have an opinion.
You know how he got into this mess?
- I can imagine... - No, you can't.
I only say I do out of politeness.
He told me about his father, a butcher... the stink...
the accident...
the bankruptcy... fate.
He lied to you.
His father was a mailman.
I told him I wanted to open a salon.
He thought I cared about money, but I don't.
I never asked for anything.
He's very handsome, but very stupid.
Do you like it? Good.
What do I tell him?
That I never loved him, and never want to see him.
I'll phrase it better, he's looking at life.
We all are.
In any case, it could depress him, might even be fatal,
from a psychological point of view.
Regardless, he got himself into this.
So I take the ring back.
It's ugly, tacky, and it looks fake. He has no taste.
Bye.
You didn't totally waste your time, you needed a trim.
- How much? - My treat.
- I insist. - 99 francs.
Sorry to bust in, but you ran out of credit, Babette.
You should try our volumizing shampoo.
Yes, thanks.
How can you love this job? I'm sure you must pretend to.
You're fired. I can't bear doubt. Doubt is death and it's contagious.
So, please shut up.
- When do I meet your parents? - I don't know.
We should sleep together again first.
Just to be sure.
You worry all the time.
Why don't you trust me?
Here, it's for you.
If I do it in front of the parents, they'll burst into tears.
My mother stopped crying ages ago.
I meant my mother and your father.
Just the right size!
Do you like it?
I don't need a ring because we slept together.
It's an engagement ring.
Bastard!
It would have been beautiful if you loved me.
Maybe we should wait for true love to get married.
I'll stop biting my nails.
You should wait for true love.
- You're my true love. - No, I'm not.
Yes, you are.
But we meet only at work, there's no mystery left between us.
We should split.
Let's sleep together tonight, alright?
You like it now?
Try to concentrate!
Not even good enough for export.
You must pretend nothing else exists...
Only here and now...
- Not straight. - I don't want it straight.
Why should it be straight?
Here, there's only me to look at you. No matter what, it's all the same.
Your lawyer's here to see you.
How could you kill someone in cold blood?
Sometimes I want to kill too.
How do you actually do it?
You pull your gun out and you shoot, without thinking.
And how do you feel, after?
Like shit...
And strong.
Then more like shit, and stronger.
Why don't you drop it?
I miss her...
It makes me sick, I get dizzy,
I get all mixed up and want to die.
Go back and see her.
I have no legal reason to come back...
Sit tight and wait for your parole.
Tell her I love her...
Tell her to wait for me.
We never lived together. We can't let this split us.
- What do you mean? - Our love is stronger than bars.
Quit your weepy bullshit, now you're making me sick.
Get your little notebook out.
Please.
And write.
Babette, I miss you.
The smell of your breasts, your sweat,
I need to lick it to live.
- I need to... - Lick it to live.
My hands yearn for you and find only my stiff cock.
My insides crave for you.
My eyes shut, they wait to see you.
She'll say you're going to spend your life in jail,
that you'll never get out,
it's not the life she wants,
that you got yourself into this.
Why do you invite me for lunch if you never enjoy it?
We could have sat down...
Stop staring, you are pregnant.
- Who's the father? - None of your business.
And the parents' neither.
Girls, you want a boy or a girl? Ask your auntie.
Shut up.
Here is the check for Mom and Dad. Try to find something nice.
I never get anything nice enough.
Sorry, I'm running late... I have to go.
You're always in a hurry.
Don't my daughters deserve your love?
Of course... Give me a kiss.
She's always in a hurry.
You said you'd call!
How did you get my address?
From Marlene. She's happy that we date.
You told her we're dating? Marlene is... Are you crazy?
Planning a TV dinner?
I don't have a TV... Well, I do, but it rots my brain.
You can't kiss people in public.
Are you Jewish?
Don't start. It's more complicated.
Why are you so short with me?
I bought milk. You want some?
Get off my back.
I hate feeling pressured.
Let go. Stop torturing yourself.
You're like your sister,
a spoiled kid. You gotta have your toy, right now.
- Why do you always bring her up? - Cause she's nuts.
I'm warning you, if you're like her...
I'm not interested.
Your lost puppy look gets me each time.
It's dangerous... Be careful not to fall for it.
I'll fall if I want to.
I'm hungry... What do you have for dinner?
You don't expect me to feed you.
We can order a pizza?
It's fattening. I've got to be careful, I eat when I'm depressed.
Are you depressed?
Not yet, but when you leave, I'll be.
Yes, I called you at the salon. The owner gave me your number.
Yes, she likes me.
I must see you.
What are you doing at the train station?
Yes, alright.
I've got a car, I'll meet you.
No, really, I can't.
I've got to go now.
- Let's have a drink, but outside. - Why outside?
Your place is too small,
and I don't want people at my place.
- I'll come with you. - No way.
I'll wait here then.
There's some kind of chemistry between us, and it bothers me,
because I can't control it.
So go away and leave me alone, please.
I mean it.
You said I could call at anytime...
No problem. Let's go for a drink.
I just ditched a jerk who kept squeezing my arm...
He wouldn't let go. An accountant.
An accountant?
A client's nephew.
I said I was fed up with being alone, that I wanted a normal guy,
so they all fixed me up with their cousins, brothers, ex-husbands.
I dated two accountants, a messenger...
I have a message for you... Nothing personal, from Marc.
I'll take the next train.
No, listen to me...
I came all the way out here, when I had other plans.
Like what?
I hate the suburbs.
So move.
I can't...
Well, I can... It's as if I couldn't... But I could.
You're complicated.
No, I'm not, but everything else is.
I must agree.
I asked for a tea.
Sorry.
He loves me, he wants me to love him...
That's the message, yes.
- Here. - Read it for me.
Can't you read?
It's not his handwriting.
But it's his style.
You've read it?
Sort of...
Did it turn you on?
It did me.
My problem is I could never look above his fly.
Would you accept to go see him?
Would you go? No. So?
It would only take an afternoon. I'd drive you.
He's suffering.
The worst in life is to love somebody who doesn't love you.
Don't you realize?
Let's talk about something else.
What about? We don't know each other.
My train is at eleven. Let's get to know each other.
I don't feel like it.
I'm not good with girls like you.
I feel awkward, and that's not what I'm here for.
So, what do I tell Marc?
What are girls like me?
I can't communicate with girls like you, it's like there is a block,
a mixture of emotion... and annoyance.
I don't know why.
- What are girls like me? - I don't know...
- I don't want to talk about it. - Go on.
Sexy, somewhat irresistible...
No, I didn't mean that. You can be what you want.
When I was little, I was ugly, and very shy,
girls didn't like me.
I'm a stupid bitch... I destroy everything.
Can I drive you back?
Alright, but I won't let you come up.
I don't want to come up, who do you think you are?
- What are those books? - They're for Marc.
He doesn't like to read.
Well, he'd better change, and fast.
A little further on the left, there.
You met Marc in a club?
And he banged me in the toilets?
I didn't say that.
We met at the salon.
He came in for a haircut, just like you.
He got me.
The owner pays me to bring in guys... I have to quit this job.
What do you want to do?
A job where I can sit down.
You don't want to get it?
It's Laurence. She won't talk to me.
Why does she call then?
Pick up the phone, and ask her.
Who broke into the car, you or you?
- Both of us. - Yes, both of us.
I have to talk to you.
Get me off those shitty cases!
I'm pregnant.
All the tests are positive.
Blood, urine, you name it... there's no way around it.
I'm fertile!
Stop hitting this table! Life is tough enough as it is!
Am I the father?
You or Karim.
Why Karim?
When I made love with you, I was lost, he helped me.
Why didn't you call me?
A straight guy can really straighten mixed-up ovaries.
And now things are clearer?
Technically, it can't be Karim.
You wouldn't believe what he does with condoms. Incredible!
I think it's you.
What do we do?
I can't think straight.
I think I'm happy.
Let's keep it, alright?
We'll have to live together.
We're selfish. We'll never live together.
That's why we're in love.
I always want to slap you. You don't?
Is there someone else?
I don't know. I didn't ask her.
Why not? You have to ask her.
You don't get it? She doesn't love you.
Not like you love her.
You don't understand.
Do you know what love is?
You don't know.
Tell her I'll kill myself.
No woman would come here.
Be reasonable now.
Babette is different.
I won't come back.
- You're dumping me? - I have to.
I'll die without you.
I only come because you turn me on.
You're available all the time. I'm a bastard.
The knot in my stomach's getting bigger.
You're lovesick...
It's as old as the world.
I just need to see her one more time...
I have to see her,
to end it once and for all.
I can't oblige her.
What wasted beauty...
Bring her to me.
Think of her as dead.
Tell her I'm here because I love her.
- I brought you books. - I don't read.
- It gives me a headache. - Did you finish high school?
- What do you think? - Finish it, it'll keep you busy.
After, you can get a B.A. in Medieval History.
Then we'll seek a pardon. The press will love it.
You'll get out and start a new life.
Bring her, and I'll fuck you.
Excuse me?
Is my desire that obvious?
I can read your life in your eyes.
That's always been my problem.
If a guy turns me on, it doesn't mean I want to fuck him.
Bring her, and I'll deliver.
If you've come to talk about Marc, I'll kick you out.
- Why don't you want to see him? - That's enough now!
Be generous, or have pity.
I hate people who drop by on Sunday. Show some respect!
It pestered me, I had to come.
Pester... You sound like an old maid.
What can I do to drag you there? Have a heart!
How can you fall for me so fast?
When you used to come see my sister, I would jerk off secretly.
I was jealous.
How corny.
You know, you can die if you love someone who doesn't love you.
I don't understand, I never did.
One can recover from anything.
Love is not like the flu!
No, it's like a prison.
I want to marry you.
Sorry?
Don't stay here. Get out.
- I want to live with you. - In your tiny room!
Then I'll come to your place.
I asked about the ceremony...
I've a friend who's a Buddhist.
He said we could put candles and incense everywhere.
We can get kosher wine if you want.
We each need a witness, I'll ask Marlene and you...
And tomorrow you'll fall for an idiot because you like his sneakers!
I don't want to cry over sneakers!
I love you, I can't live without you, I want to see you all the time.
How do you know you love me?
You hate yourself, and you can't bear to be loved.
Act like other kids your age!
What do they do?
They hang out at Virgin,
eat at McDonald's, with the kid with the sneakers,
then they go screw in their rooms, to a poster of Leonardo DiCaprio.
Go listen to techno music, have fun, get laid... And get the hell out.
- When will I see you? - I'll call.
You love me?
I don't know, and I don't want to know.
I told you to put on a suit!
It's Marlene's brother. Why is he here?
I started mountain climbing.
You got the whole kit?
If I dream of Prince Charming does it make me a princess?
Shall I look in my law books?
What about me, does it make me a princess too?
You should stop seeing each other.
I don't want it to go away...
If it does, it will be all over.
Go see the doctor,
pills will ease the pain.
It has to hurt.
The more, the better...
You can't get it, your dick is dry.
You're using me.
Want to go to a movie tonight?
Sure, what do you want to see? There's nothing good.
Forget the movie. I'm sure you have better things to do.
I can't ever count on you.
Sorry, give me a second.
What time do we meet?
I don't know. You're always so complicated.
I don't want to work today.
What are you doing?
I pay you to be available!
Come at 8:00, I'll buy dinner.
That's a bit early.
Fine, let's cancel then.
That's not it...
No, that's it. I've got better things to do anyway.
You're dumping me!
That's right. I'm kicking you out. Get out of my life.
What were you saying?
First you signed the lease, then he raped you?
Not exactly...
He didn't actually rape me.
What did he actually do?
You should have gotten the books first.
I found a box of them in the garbage. Do you think I'm a moron?
Here, help me, make yourself useful.
You have a drill...?
Marc's. I asked him for bookshelves, but he robbed a jewelry store.
If I help you, will you go see Marc?
Get out, I'll manage alone.
You're scared of him?
Nobody scares me.
It's safe, he's locked up.
He's a monster, and I like monsters. Didn't you get it?
You're disgusting.
What turns me on destroys me.
That's not very original.
Go tell him you don't love him.
I'm not that stupid.
It might kill him, but you have to be honest with him.
You're selfish, all you care about is your fat ass.
You're the monster!
If I go, I go for you.
To silence you.
When?
- You have to come with me. - I can't go in with you.
I won't go without you.
It's against the rules.
Breaking rules is what's interesting.
You're stubborn.
You can't accompany me, but I can follow you...
Drop this. Give me a screwdriver.
Which one?
Mom...
Alain is here.
He's late for his own engagement party.
You could make an effort, for me.
Leave me alone.
You belong with those rejects.
Who're you talking about?
I refuse to talk to this woman.
Her husband's so full of himself.
If only he'd stop smiling.
You hate seeing me happy.
A marriage of convenience is wrong.
I'm not as lucky as you are.
You want to control everything. I won't let you control me.
Do what you want.
Bitch!
We should have picked a restaurant...
Or our place.
In a restaurant, you never know what you're eating.
It's kind of cold for an engagement.
We could've made an effort.
Alain insisted.
He can be so stubborn.
He was right.
We're very happy to have you.
Laurence...
You smoke too?
Alain won't let us...
Not true Mom, it's you.
A toast, to the union of our two families.
Congratulations!
To happiness!
- Better late than never. - Best to think that.
I agree with that.
Mom!
So much time wasted...
All those years being friends.
What a waste!
A marriage of convenience is so sad!
I hope you two are in love.
Speak up, or I'll slap them.
Why get married if you hate kids?
It's easier if you like them.
Unless you hate what's easy.
Somebody said, when it's easy...
Have you set a date?
Hurry up or you might change your mind.
Alain, come and help me in the kitchen.
They want to talk...
Don't listen to them.
Usually, she never clears up the dishes.
I never saw your mother like that.
What about yours!
That bitch had better leave you alone!
Stop insulting my mother, it scares me.
I'll change that in no time.
What are we doing?
She's crazy about you... It's scary.
Look what you've become.
Why do you follow me?
I want to be alone.
You're seeing someone else, aren't you?
- Admit it, it'd be more honest. - It's none of your business.
I don't have or want anybody.
What about you?
Same thing.
I can't get it up anymore.
Nobody turns me on.
What about you?
I'm wondering about things.
Don't you?
Trains can be so stifling.
You're so handsome.
Do I stink?
It's not too bad.
I'm going to barf...
This girl is right:
"Don't show all your feelings at once,
women don't like it."
You get it?
Play indifferent, don't smother her, give her some air.
Come on... Move it...
Send me postcards!
I want to leave...
Let's go.
Get me out of here.
Stay here.
Take your clothes off.
Touch me...
Take off your underwear.
Come on, get naked.
I can't, I can't.
Let me out. I beg you!
Help him.
Babette!
You drive like shit!
I don't like to drive.
And stop crying!
I'm so relieved you and Marc are getting out of my life.
Everything was easier before.
Before what?
Before meeting you.
You're here?
Of course, where else should I be?
If you want to move in my place...
You can anytime...
- What happened? - Don't ask.
You're sure?
Yes... I think so, I'm sure...
I have a dinner date.
I can't stay.
Laurence is pregnant, I have to marry her.
And this other woman... I'm attracted to her.
I want to see her again, I'm lost.
You can have everything.
Just tell them I exist and you love me.
I must choose, I can't stay like this.
I'm not asking you to choose. You're free.
You give me a headache.
I have to go. Give me a kiss.
No, better not. Here are the keys.
Tell me you're mad at me... jealous...
You can have everything.
Drop dead.
I'm here, aren't l?
Do you know what time it is? You're too late for the last show.
If you continue to treat people like shit,
you'll end up all alone.
Why do you say that?
Let me in, I have to talk to you.
I don't want to listen to you anymore.
Your confusion is contagious, and I've got it.
You should have used two condoms, too late now.
I'll keep that child. Even without you.
You said we'd get married...
Let me in.
I want to sleep near you.
All you want to do is sleep?
You don't have to love me, just respect me.
Come in... I feel sorry for you.
My head's about to explode.
You can't have everything.
I'll leave you two.
What the hell are you doing here?
Pretend I'm not here.
I asked him to adopt the baby and me.
And what did you say?
What did he say?
I'm expecting my cousins.
I hope they won't be stuck in traffic.
I don't know what to make for dinner.
I'll be back.
Two seconds... not three.
Marc's made his choice alone. It's his life.
You came to tell me that?
Of course you fell for him, anyone would have.
Would you have fallen for him?
Why do you ask me that?
You said "anyone".
It's a question of taste.
I brought you something.
Marc wouldn't like me giving you books.
They must be read in order,
maybe I should give you an introduction.
We have to meet again.
I'm not doing anything tonight.
- You get out at seven? - In two hours.
I'll wait for you.
I'll try to hurry.
I'll be in the bar across the street.
Isn't this style a bit stuffy?
You wanted a change.
A change, yes, but not a revolution.
Coffee anyone?
I'd prefer you come back empty-handed.
You came to make sure I was still here?
Do you want the truth?
No, please, lie.
I was afraid you'd leave.
I stayed, but I want to leave.
I'm having hot flashes, I can't breathe.
My hands are freezing. Look.
I feel like I'm cheating on Marc, that I'm betraying him.
What do we both want?
The same thing. At least for me.
You think so?
As a kid, I never knew what I wanted.
But as I get older, it gets better.
When you never know what you want,
how can you progress?
You shut your eyes.
I'm doing a dye job, I've got to go.
You know what?
I'll cut a finger off and send it to her.
If that doesn't make her come, I'll cut my hand.
And if she still doesn't come?
Then I'll send her my dick.
She can freeze it and suck on it.
Flowers would be better.
Shit! I'm out of Ajax.
I'm not allowed visitors anymore.
How did you manage?
Just close your eyes, and nothing can defy willpower.
I screwed up.
I lost control, I went crazy.
She has to give me another chance.
- I won't come back. - I'll kill myself.
We have to move on to other things.
- First I want to kill her. - Shut up.
Before I die, I want to pay you back.
I hate debts.
You don't owe me anything.
I must give you what you want.
What I want may not be good for me,
but what I don't want probably is.
We shouldn't meet any more.
You're my friend.
I've decided not to come back.
You'll come back.
Love makes us do anything. That's a fact.
Nothing's a fact.
You'll get cold.
I never get cold.
Do you, Alain Bauman, take Laurence Albertini
as your lawful wife?
Laurence, I don't love you.
I know.
I know that you know.
I think we should marry for love...
Like in a fairy tale. We're not like that.
We're too old for fairy tales.
Yes, but still...
I told you it wouldn't last.
Your brother promised he'd come...
Look at me, and visualize him.
Stop your bullshit.
Mom... I'm in love with Marlene's brother.
It's not a reason to keep us waiting.
What's happening to him?
Leave him alone. Can't you see he's upset?
Alain, I'm leaving.
You're right, love is important. I'm sorry.
What a moment to talk about love!
Behave in front of your nieces.
Who gives a shit!
It's too late now, honey.
Do it.
Take a step back to jump further.
Close your eyes.
Close your eyes and dive right in.
That's what we did with your father.
- Come on, let's go. - Alright.
We didn't have to live together.
That's not it...
You know that's not it.
I can't think straight, I'm going crazy.
Stop thinking with your dick.
What do we do now?
Come on... Iet's do it.
- What's the point? - I don't know...
I'll feel better after, and so will you.
Come on.
Whatever...
I don't know...
I wasn't like this before, was l? I don't remember, do you?
Come on.
Do you take Miss Albertini to be your lawful wife?
Do you take Mr. Bauman to be your lawful husband?
I pronounce you husband and wife.
You may kiss the bride.
What are you doing?
What are you doing here?
Nothing's changed. Did you really think it would?
It changes everything.
You said I could have everything, that you didn't mind.
You can have everything you want, but it can still make me unhappy.
I'm lost. Forgive me.
Do you always have to understand everything?
Have the courage to live your life!
That's what I'm doing right now.
Laurence won't mind me seeing you.
You're married, you're not. You're gay, you're not.
Who cares? I don't care.
Things have to be clear.
So, you love my son?
It's all too simple.
Their mother left when they were little.
The kids must have told you.
Christophe needs to look up to a strong man.
I hope you'll be strong enough.
In theory, yes.
And in practice?
I don't know, practice is more difficult.
You give him a reason to live,
now you must convince him to study again.
We're seeing to that.
Dad's giving you his only son,
and l, the love of my life.
I'll try to live up to it.
Another piece of pie?
I'm allergic to apricots.
You're married with my daughter, but you don't have a key?
I told you, they don't live together.
Face reality, please!
What for?
- It would be clearer for all of us. - You think so?
Laurence, we need to talk.
She doesn't want to talk to you.
Laurence... darling...
If you don't want this child, your sister can take it.
How can you say that! That's horrible!
Stay out of this, please.
It's my kid too!
He's not even born yet.
I leave you the fan.
Don't make that face. I did my time... You'll get out too.
Promise you'll go see her.
I said no.
Tell me you didn't lose her address?
I spent thirty years in jail. Do I look like a mailman?
I leave you the foie gras for Christmas.
So you'll think of me.
Water the plants.
Not too much water, or attention either.
Here...
You look happy, you bastard.
I read all your books. At first I didn't get most of it,
but then, it all made sense.
I couldn't stay at home.
I took the train and called from the station.
Come in.
I'm bothering you...
I wasn't thinking, as usual.
You can stay as long as you want.
This is Christophe, I live with him.
Thanks, anyway.
No, please, stay, sit down...
Sit down.
Can I get you something?
I don't know why I said that, it just came out.
The place is too small for three.
You bet...
What do we do now? I don't know why I offered.
We don't have a bed for her.
We'll manage...
- I like her. It worries me. - You can like a girl.
I know I can, but it worries me just the same.
You say that, but then you start crying and run off to milk cows.
I know, I live through you. I shouldn't.
I'm so jealous, I can't help it.
Look, she's moving in.
What are you doing today?
I don't know... Questioning myself I guess.
Do you have any cash with you?
I can work the street, right?
- You sound really depressed... - And I'm really stupid.
Stop saying you're stupid. It's annoying.
Stop. I hate it.
My hair's very dirty, could you wash it again, please.
I'm looking for Babette.
She doesn't work here anymore.
Do you know where I can find her?
And who exactly are you?
The mailman.
Your hair's very dry.
I'm not surprised.
I got the lease cause I was gay, then he raped me.
I understand... But Mrs. Albertini is in charge of your case.
I'd rather hire someone from the community.
- Which community? - We understand each other better.
You're late.
Yeah, so what?
Mrs. Albertini, I wanted to tell you...
I've explained everything to Mr...
You think I'm ugly, don't you?
You always say I'm beautiful, but you never look at me.
People kept calling for you.
You have to buy the practice, right now.
You'll pay me later.
Get away. I carry your baby, that's enough.
We should live together.
But I'd have to leave Christophe...
For his own good.
Get out of here!
You're destroying me.
It's like having a jail inside me, a life sentence.
Did Karim tell you that?
I'm not seeing him or anyone else anymore.
Don't touch me.
Don't touch me... Please, don't.
Did you sleep well?
You could have waited for me, instead of ditching me.
I rarely do what I want.
What good would it have done anyway?
I want to go live in another country.
What do you think?
I'm not kicking you out. You can stay...
A client told me I was a ball breaker.
Do you think it's true?
I don't do it on purpose.
I'm a friend of Marco's.
To put it bluntly...
he wants to kill himself.
He's my friend, I want to stop him.
He's kind of lost. If the young lady could go see him...
He'll never stop.
I came to tell you what's in his heart.
In my heart, there was only his dick.
Now that he is in jail, I've learned to look up.
I don't fall anymore.
That's a lot to tell him.
Good day, Miss. Good bye, Sir.
I like your skirt.
Can I touch it?
Be my guest.
It's nylon?
Yes, machine washable.
Very practical.
But less pretty.
Pretty or practical, you have to choose.
I can't get it up.
Touch me.
I can't.
What does it mean?
That you don't love me anymore?
Give me your ass... Come on.
Give me your ass.
Who are you?
No one, and you?
No one either.
Where is Alain?
I can't sleep anymore.
Come in, and wait with me.
I'm his wife. He's my husband.
I had a contraction. I'm scared.
It's cold. Please, come in.
Christophe has moved out?
He doesn't love that poor boy anymore.
Alain is married?
It's my fault. I destroy everything. Please, tell him that.
What have you done with your hair?
- You don't like it? - No.
It's very boyish.
It's a stupid thing to say.
Where is Christophe? Three tickets, please.
- You don't like me? - Was that the point?
Do you want the truth?
No, lie to me.
The truth is I love you, in my own way.
- You love me? - Yes, in my own way.
Christophe is late, as usual.
- You love him? - I don't know.
Do I look like I love him?
In your own way.
Anyway, he's always late.
Do you love your wife?
I don't know.
Must we always understand everything?
I didn't tell you I had a wife.
I shouldn't say this, but...
Say it.
Let's go away together. We'll be happy.
Everything might get clearer.
Don't say that, it scares me, I can't bear it.
And when I leave, it gets worse.
Outside life isn't my thing. I don't feel comfortable.
It's stupid, but I was happier here.
When I walk in the streets, I get dizzy.
You'll see...
You want to come back home.
Was she beautiful?
I don't know...
Like the photo, I guess.
I didn't really want to look.
You really want back in?
I've nothing left outside.
We must help each other.
You're right, there's just us.
You have to kill her for me.
What if I fucked her for you?
I'd tell you how she spreads her legs.
Isn't that how you get turned on?
I've had it with your bullshit.
If you kill her, they'll put you back in, maybe with me.
We'll grease a few palms.
We'll say we behave when we are together.
Your bed's still here, they haven't replaced you.
But you have to think fast or it might be too late.
There's a lot of people here.
Bastard.
He was here yesterday, and today.
If I'm late, I'll get fired.
Why did you let him touch your skirt?
Let's call the police. He touched your skirt?
Here's your wife.
My wife?
Stop saying "my wife".
You know Laurence?
If you want me to drive you, we've got to leave now.
It's just another of Marc's messages.
He'll get fed up sooner or later.
I'm having contractions... I'll leave.
No, you stay here!
I don't want to go to the hospital.
Christophe. Babette. Laurence, my wife.
Come sit down.
No, I'll stand. I want to die.
I don't want to have this baby.
Alain, what do we do?
Christophe, find the car key. Let's go to the hospital!
I want to walk. I'm scared. Can't we just stop it?
Christophe, hurry up!
Where is the car?
I don't know, same as usual.
It's for Marco...
Are you crazy?
- You're crazy! - Go on!
What are you doing?
Do it!
I can't.
You're pulling out?
It never happened to me.
All you guys are useless!
But why?
I look at you,
and I want to talk to you. You look so out of it.
Why do you say that?
Isn't it obvious?
Why a boy? I always got along better with girls.
He's beautiful.
He looks like you, but don't worry, you have no obligation.
We'll see, he's my son.
What shall we name him?
We can't decide. We're not competent.
Call Christophe, you're dying to ask him.
No, that's not it.
I just want to show him the baby.
I hope it's not a boy.
Why do you say that?
He'd look like your son.
Of course.
You're right, that wouldn't be good.
How can they keep us waiting like that?
Like we're strangers?
Give me a cigarette.
Don't. Have a piece of gum.
I've had enough of your gum.
Freedom makes me dizzy.
Better dizzy than nauseous.
I've put some money aside. Not much, but enough to retire in the sun.
I'll make you dresses.
In jail, I learned to sew.
And I must say, I'm not too bad at it.
You want to come with me?
I feel restless here.
So do l.
It's a boy.
You want to see him?
I thought about the whole thing,
and I'm leaving you.
No, you're staying...
Laurence wants to see you.
Come on.
I feel no maternal instinct.
Please, take him...
Can l?
I won't give him back, you know.
Here, take him...
Gently...
They are beautiful together.
I knew I'd be a bad mother.
What are you talking about?
I'll pay for him... I'll take him on vacations.
Don't be stupid. You don't mean it.
I won't make him happy.
We'll see, we'll just do our best.
I want this baby to be happy.
Don't worry. We're here, all four of us.
Promise we won't have more kids.
How do I know?
Nothing is ever final.
That sucks!
Time to leave daddy, mommy and... your uncle.
May l?
Where are you taking him?
Time for his bath.
You're sure you can do it?
I'm a nurse. At least, it says so on my badge.
You don't look like one.
Really? What do I look like?
I don't know.
You like your job?
Yes, but I wonder sometimes...
Life is complicated...
Are you married?
Yes, well, no... In fact...
Sorry. Yes, life is complicated.
Nothing's easy.
Do you like it when it's easy?
Take good care of him!
