"A real maternity leave!" "My partner is screaming on the phone!" "We had to juggle the cops the dealers and the kid..." "And without Michel's brilliant idea of hiding the dope ...in the nappy, hello jail!" " We nearly freaked out!" " They ransack the place" "Pierre comes home he finds it in the toilet" " Boy, was he in a state..." " That's not the problem" "We've been drowning in bottles, and shit for three weeks, and we've had it!" "What is this?" "Cops?" "Baby?" "And who broke in here?" "And why two packages?" "And who dumped this kid on you?" "And why didn't you go to work?" "I don't understand" "Why, why... two days with the kid and you'll understand why!" "But who is that damn kid, anyway?" "Her name's Marie and you shouldn't spit on her because she's your daughter!" "Can't waste our lives wiping a baby's ass" "Even if it's yours!" "Paul?" "I brought you back a present..." "Can't wait to see you..." "Their only solution was doped nappies, clever, no?" "What are you talking about doped nappies?" "Maybe you don't know I've got a baby on my hands" "Thanks to you!" "Call that being a pal?" "Have you asked yourself what I'm supposed to do with the baby?" " Is it your idea of friendship?" " Who's that damned baby, anyway?" "I'm warning you, don't insult her" "Damn baby yourself!" "it's my daughter!" "So don't spit on!" "Say, mum, I'm bringing you a little surprise..." "If I tell, it's no surprise" "You will soon find out" "I think it'll make you very happy" "The next 4 are ready lt'll last you till tomorrow" " Alright" " Tell her to let her sleep a lot" " Okay" " If her arse is red tell her not to listen to doctor's bullshits" "The only cure is a bottle of water instead of milk" "In 3 hours, it's fixed A miracle, a bottom like marble!" "Give her water, got it" "Pierre says to wash her clothes with soap flakes" "Where she's going you'll find soap flakes, no problem!" "Rinse 3 times in hot water" "Rinse 3 times..." "To help her sleep we sing two-part lullabies" " But my mother lives alone!" " She'll sing alone" "All she has to do is sing her a lullaby" " Got it" " And about the nipples" "There're 3 speeds on the nipples!" "Always use the slowest ...Number 1..." "It's super super important The slowest, always" "Otherwise it flows too fast and it's bad for her digest..." "I'd better hurry I'll miss my plane" " Anyone here?" " There's me" " And Jacques?" " He went to Nice" "He comes and goes the same day..." "What a nerve!" "He took Marie to his mother" " I made him 4 bottles of milk" " What an asshole!" "Don't worry, I prepared 4 bot..."

" That lunkhead could've said something..." "Unbelievable..." "There're such things as phones!" "...4 bottles for the trip!" "I finally got it out!" "God..." "Marie-Rose, look!" "It seems I'm a grandmother" "Let me see her" "God is she cute!" " What's her name again?" " Marie" "Almost like you, Marie-Rose..." "God, to think I'm a grandmother..." "You could've let me know earlier..." "It's incredible..." "You never call, never write never come to see me..." "But I'm here now" "Did you see, she smiled at me..." "Who's her mother?" "Won't you introduce me?" "She's gone to the States for 6 months" "So who's taking care of the baby for you?" "Well, I was actually thinking of you..." "I thought may be you'd like to have her, till her mother's back" "Yes, of course..." "But the fact is that I'm leaving in 3 days with Marie-Rose on a cruise to the Caribbean we're staying with friends" " Oh" " See, it's a real chance..." "A friend got us a cut-rate on the cruise..." "When will you be back?" "I don't know... in 3 or 4 months..." "Then I'll be in Bordeaux to see a friends So, I can't take care of her" " You've got loads of friends!"

" Nothing" "You're not her son for nothing" "What would she do in her age than travel" "Old age doesn't exist anymore!" "You have to come back, that's final" "I travel, I can't take care of her..." "Yes, but you're her mother!" "What proves, I'm really her father?" "The dates coincide..." "That proves nothing" "So you know it?" "I don't, so you come back and take her, Now!" "Sylvia!" "Sylvia, hello?" "Hello!" "Sylvia..." "For heaven's sake!" "The bitch, she hung up!" "She's doing this on purpose!" "I will find her, I will!" "Don't you have her address?"

"It'll take me an hour to calm her" "I know, but she wants to see her!" " I'll go explain" " Please, I'm begging you, don't go" " Don't worry, I'll take care of it" " No, I'll do it" "Want to bet in 15 minutes she'll slam out of the place?" "If you can't even understand that one shouldn't wake a child take a refresher course" "Sir, let me remind you I never wanted to wake her but only to see her Slight difference!" "It's normal I see the child I'll be caring for night and day" "Night and day?" "You mean you'll be sleeping here?" "Of course!" "A second mother is a second mother!" " Where'll you sleep?" " If you'd please show me to my room..." "I don't knowwhere Jacques wants to stick you..." "May be in his room..." "But I'm warning you the 3 of us are real studs!" "That's not my concern" "It'd be a shame at your age..." "if you'd taken chastity vows" "My concern is children and as for screwing I've got all I need at home" "With a couple of days off a month I wouldn't have any problem" "My only interest here is the child and I can see she needs care" "Oh really?" "And why may I ask?" "It's quite clear listening to you, sir" "Besides, you're not the father" "Now listen, Mrs Parons..." "Ronpas..." " It's Rapons, Mrs Rapons!" " Parons, Ronpas, Parons, hell!" " It's Rapons, Mrs Rapons!" " Rapons, whatever" "The mother one can always tell who she is but the father, who knows?" "get off my back!" "Never mind!" "I won't talk to you" "Show me the kitchen and the bathroom, please!" " Why?" " To prepare your shopping list" "You don't shop yourself?" "No shopping, washing or cleaning I'm a trained nurse" "We don't need a thing" "Have you sufficient fruits and vegetables?" "We don't give her any of that Only milk and cereal for now" "It's not enough" "At 3 months you can begin a normal diet" " That's bullshit" " Why?" "You can't feed a baby like an adult!" " How do you know?" " I read books" "The diets doctors prescribe today are much too rich" "I have my own special recipe Mrs. Purons" "It's Rapons, Mrs. Rapons" "For example, what do you do when they can't sleep?" "I try to calm them down Sometimes, I give a sedative" "I knew it, you cretin!" "I said there's no point to this I will not speak to you" "I'm fully trained" "I use the methods recommended by the greatest pediatricians" "Medicine is serious" "Know the song, Medicine's a whore the chemist's her pimp?" "We probably don't appreciate the same music I like opera myself" "Mrs. Napons, stay one more minute and I'll break your neck!" " This my house, get out!" " It's Mrs. Rapons!" "I've unlimited patience with children but I'm not qualified to take care of lunatics" "Good day, and best regards" "I told you... 15 minutes timed" "Listen guys what are we going to do?" "I tried everything but nothing worked" "My mother went on a trip Sylvia is in the states" "Pierre doesn't want a nurse no day care" "Mrs Rodriguez's dropped us since the cops" "Even the cleaning lady ditched us What do you want me to do?" "Want me to take the kid away?" "Go to the social worker?" "Here come the viloins..." "Really, what do you suggest?" "What I suggest is that since your mother comes back in 4 months" "let's not waste energy looking for solutions" "We'll get roganized the 3 of us'll take care of her" " What's 4 months, anyway?" " Get organized?" "How?" "First, I'm always travelling" "Ask to be grounded for serious family obligations" "That is out of the question" "I chose the job for travelling I won't stop travelling" "Then it's the social worker, not us 4-hour nights, I've had it!" "Take it easy!" " You'll ask to be temporarily grounded and you'll..." " No!" "And you'll do the 6 to 10 shift" "That's 2 bottles, 2 changes Plus the shopping after work" "Since I work at home I'll take 10 to 6" "I'll stroll her in the park but no more house chores" "Pierre, you'll do the 6 to 10 PM shift 2 bottles, 2 changes You bathe her, supervise the diet/do the wash" "Gonna live like nuns!" "And what if she wakes up at night?" " I was sort of thinking of you..." " I don't do nights, no way" "Needless to say me neither" "Bastards!" "I'm on the longest 8 hours straight!" "Nights are out Let her scream, but without me" "You're a crook" "We give you the easiest shift the morning when she's all rosy..." "We're been on nights for weeks now you turn up your nose?" "She's your daughter, after all!" "Are you that horny?" "Horny yourself!" "I won't ask to be grounded Piss off!" "I don't need you I'll find a solution on my own" " Jaques?" " Oh, hi" " Anything wrong?" " No, it's all right" "What were you doing seeing the boss?" "I asked to be grounded" " He said no?" " He said yes, that's just it" "I'm off, she ate well she's falling asleep" "She's crying..." "I'll go get her" "Let her cry She'll stop in 2 minutes" " Needs to burp" " She won't sleep if you carry her" "I knowyou let ger bawl for hours, but I can't" "I never let her bawl for hours!" "You'd find any book theory for not taking care of her" "What a schmuck!" " Get off my back" " Quiet..." "It's 10" "It's not your shift, so drop it!" "So go to work" "I'll hold her for 2 minutes and then put her back to bed" "Hi, Michel I just came by for a file..." " Everything okay?" " Fine" " Then I'm off to work" " Okay" " The kid's fine?" " Fine" "You look at me you smile at me..." "You like your little bath..." " Hell, she's crying..." " who?" "Nothing..." "I'll be right back" "It's okay, right?" "You are alright, right?" " She's crying?" " Whenever I put her down" " May be she's thirsty?" " No she's teething" " What am I suppose to do?" " We bought a syrup" "Try to put her down, we'll sing" "This guy's completely nuts!" "Are you gonna sing all night?" "Oh, a baby..." "Sorry" " Who's that hag?" " Whatch your tongue!" "Does she have to shout?" "I'm the one in charge give me a break" "Stop fighting, you two She's sleeping!" "As for your little father-knows-best act Drop it, I've had it!" "Right!" "Same for me!" "If you want to argue let's meet at Pierre's room" "I'm no punching ball!" "I'll tell you, the day her Mother comes back it'll be heaven" "Sorry to intrude but I'm splitting" "I'm no wallflower" "Don't go...don't go" "Just a little argument..." "Here I go, back to bed!" "Sorry, I don't feel like it anymore" "Bye" "When can I see you without a crowd?" "You're the busy one You cancel our dates!" "Save room for the 3-tier cake it's from R  M!" "Funny, I thought I heard a baby cry..." " Really?" " But it could've been the metro..." "Give her a drink?" "Stop, he's filled my glass at least 8 times!" "No way, she won't take it" "I sure will!" "But I'm drunk..." " Tell me about Thailand..." " It was wonderful!" "Customs searched me..." "Two hours in my shorts..." " Excuse me..." " The art world in turmoil..." "But where is Jacques?" "What the fuck are they doing?" "They're preparing dessert" "Come on back, guys this is boring without you!" "I'll go get them" " Try to put her in" " Hold your ears!" "She must be teething" "We can't let her cry here alone poor thing..." "Watching football, or what?" "The guests..." "Let's take her outside" "Yes, we can't leave her like this" " It's a baby!" " I told you I heard a baby" " What's that baby?" " Who's baby is it?" "This is Marie, my daughter" "Your daughter..." "You sure?" " Congratulations" " She's so cute" " Don't cry, Marie..." " There's too much noise, here" " You won't mind me turning it off would you?" " Give her to me, I'll try" " If you sit down, it'll be worse" " Have you had her for long?" "A couple of months" "Who's her mother?" "She's in the States she'll be back soon" "Does she always cry like that?" "She's just teething Usually, she's adorable" "And what if you just put her to bed?" "It's just a whim Put her in bed" "I think little babies aren't very interesting" "Do you?" "So do I, they only begin to interest me around age 3" "Then you can teach them things talk... but before that..." "Before that, all they do is sleep eat, cry..." "Conversations are limited" "I wish babies were the only ones with limited conversation..." "Depends on what you call limited" "In the kingdom of the jerk the cretin's one-eyed!" " What's that mean?" " Nothing" "I'll leave you to your unperishable talk" "I'll get the 3-tier cake, ok?" "Nurseries aren't my kick See you" "Which way you going?" "Montparnasse Want a drink at Select?"
