"I was at the other end of the airport." "Been waiting long?" "Can you pick it up for me?" "It's not very painful, but the stick reassures me." "Tell me if I'm going too fast." "This is fine." "How was your flight?" "It was alright." "Please lower the volume a bit." "Sorry?" "Too loud." "Could you please lower the volume a bit?" "Thank you." "You've come from China?" "My father, yes." "Not me." "I'm from here." "I'm Armenian, but France is the only place I know." "He talks very fast." "He's Armenian, but he was born here." "I'd forgotten." "Everything is flat here." "No valleys, no hills." "You can almost see the horizon." "Mr Samsa's not in?" "He's in his room." "Since Mum passed away, he rarely comes out." "I'd just like to greet him." "No, believe me, he's not well." "It seems brighter here." "You kept it?" "Since the operation, I tire fast." "I have to sit down often." "No, don't sit there." "You'd be better off on the sofa." "I have to go." "The funeral parlour'll be closing." "Here's a key for you." "Your suitcase is in the corridor." "The song's about a little girl." "Her head was hurt in an accident." "She's forgotten everything." "But she's happy." "I never understood why she listened to it all the time." "For the service," "I'd like her to wear something she really liked." "What would you choose?" "I've made something nice." "All this was in your suitcase?" "Eat up, come on." "It's hot." "You loved Ha Kao when you were small." "Really?" "I can't remember at all." "Mummy hardly ever cooked Chinese." "Didn't she teach you some recipes?" "Before, I used to help her roll the ban khun." "That's Vietnamese, not Chinese." "That's true." "But that's all I can remember." "Has Mr Samsa eaten?" "I've made something for him." "I'll take it to his room later." "Mr Samsa's tired." "You spoke to him?" "I came across him." "We greeted each other." "You went into his room?" "Yes." "He wanted my advice about the dress." "Believe me, it was okay." "You spoke for long?" "I told you." "Not for long." "Morning." "Are you staying in or going out a little?" "I don't know yet." "I might go for a stroll later." "I need to collect the notices." "Notices?" "I have to go back to the city hall." "Want me to come?" "No." "Stay here." "To my late wife." "Did you think about a speech?" "I don't know." "I..." "I'm not sure." "You have to say something." "There's a pulpit meant for that." "Talking in front of everybody..." "I don't think I can handle that." "What's that?" "Oh, it's beautiful." "Is it Mummy's name?" "Yes, it is." "It's for the gravestone." "You should have told us earlier." "The wood doesn't match the stone we chose." "Can't we put it somewhere discrete?" "He'd like us to put it on the grave, but it won't look right." "It's very pretty though." "We can hang it in the lounge." "There's no sound." "Never mind." "Want me to help you?" "I've folded them in a particular way." "I'd rather do it myself." "You were so small here." "I can't remember those moments." "Watching it, it looks like it was important." "Why didn't you want to get married again?" "Mum said that if you'd asked her, she would have stayed." "I don't know." "You have to fight a little in life." "A man must protest." "He must yell." "He must impose himself." "He can't let such things happen." "Why are you always like that?" "Look at that." "I like it very much." "Why are you showing me that?" "My neighbour's son did it." "A very sweet boy." "Your mother often said:" ""A snowflake never falls in the wrong place."" "Every other year, even every year." "You must change the soil and prune the roots." "You can see there." "They're much too long." "It's like your hair." "At one point, you have to cut it." "See the dried branches." "They're dead." "You can cut them." "But these ones, the wet ones, you can leave them as they are." "Subtitles:" "Eclair Media"
