"I'VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG" "I don't believe this mess!" "Julien!" "Will you get up!" "Don't make so much noise!" "This place stinks!" "How can you stand it?" "C'mon, get up!" "It's Camille's wedding day." "Don't feel like it." "I couldn't find a cab..." "Not ready yet?" "We'll be late." "I have to do my face." "Make me some tea?" " I'm not in your way?" " No, hand me the shampoo?" "Take my keys." "What's this?" "They're beautiful." "You found one!" "She'll be thrilled." "If madam would deign to get in..." "I'm not riding in that!" " Take your lithium?" " I forgot." "You're something!" "Those are Mom's earrings." "One of them's mine!" "Thanks for my mother." "She was lucky I found her." "There you are." "You haven't changed much." "Make way, girls!" "As soon as we got here, she locked herself in." "She'll only talk to you." "You alone?" "Nervous?" "No, I just wonder why I invited them." "All they do is babble." "Each telling me about her wedding." "Know what car I came in?" "We won't go unnoticed!" "Did I overdo it?" "C'mon, give me a hand." "That pinched!" "Trying to hurt me?" "Especially today." "You look lovely." "There you are." "Shall we?" "I hate white, family get-togethers and weddings." "Did I ask anything of you?" "Another one." "Four wives!" "You'll be Bluebeard." "Bluebeard was a sentimental fool." " I hope I keep him longer than you." " That won't be hard." "You're happy, I can tell." "You're not back for me, but I'm glad you're here." " How is she, by the way?" " I haven't seen her yet." "You must be jet-lagged from Rio." "I'm okay." " Where can I get cigarettes?" " In the lobby." "Hush, you'll scare them." "What the hell is this?" "Congratulations." "You mean Camille?" "No, I'm just her witness." "Been back long?" "I came for a wedding." "How are you?" "I'm fine." " What's keeping you?" " Coming." "I have to go." "I love giving unhappy women new life." "Candice just opened a beauty spa." "My first business." "Come see me?" "When's Hector coming over?" "In three weeks." "Once Jerome's term is over." "I'm serious, I have a manuscript for you." "Call me next week?" "I promise." "Actually, I am tired." "I must see Mom at the hospital." "Forgive me?" "I'll see you out." "Just married and already discounting our honeymoon!" "Romantic!" "Any good deals for the Lozere?" "The Lozere's nice." "I worked out for months to be seen in a bathing suit!" "Seen by whom?" "What are you talking about?" " By you!" " Lozere or Ibiza, it's all the same." "It's gonna be hot!" "Be right back." "Mixing drugs and alcohol is a bad idea." "Relax, I'm used to it." "Did she leave?" "It's just as well." "Did you know she was back?" "Come on." "Are you all right?" "So you came." "What'll happen when I'm really sick?" "I'll have an extra week to move." "The concierge found me." "I woke up here." "It gave me a real scare." "A scare, but it's not serious." "Just a spell." "I feel like I'm living on probation." "I'm waiting for my time to come." "Think I'll feel it coming?" "I didn't feel anything coming." "I just felt it silly to die like that in my armchair." "It was a nice party, wasn't it?" " When do you return the car?" " Tomorrow." "Still staying over tonight?" "Sure, I brought my things." "I'm going to take a shower." " A starter?" " No, thanks." "Sauce on the side?" "Excuse me!" "I said medium." "This is rare." "It's pretty red." "I'm like you:" "I like my meat well grilled." "Alex!" "Some bread, please." "Bread basket for Marion!" "How'd the meeting go this morning?" " 2 coffees, table 1 1 ." " There's a table for you." "You'll get a table, but reserve next time." "No smoking in the kitchen!" " Ballbuster, table 5: meat too rare." " What more can I do?" " Burn it!" "My salad ready?" " With 3 eggs mimosa." "2 daily specials on 4, grilled sole for 12." "Not in my ear!" "With endive!" "A Badoit, a St. Emilion, on the double!" "Hang on, my head's splitting!" "Why didn't we close today?" " Newlyweds must cope." " What if I went on honeymoon?" "I'd have closed." "Jeanne!" "I looked for you yesterday." "I left early." "I didn't know where to find you." "Lucky I thought of your mother." "Got time for a drink?" "Excuse me." "What d'you mean, they didn't deliver?" "Complain!" "Say I won't work with him again." "It's easy to find someone else." "In a cafe." "Just a cafe, I dunno." "I'll be back around 7 p.m." "Sorry, it was the restaurant." "Your mother still runs it?" "No, I do." "I took over when she died." "I didn't know." "When was that?" "Five years ago." "Like it?" "At first I did it for her, and Julien." "How's he doing?" "It's tough." "He went into a depression." "He's much better now, even if he seems worse." "I don't know." "He can't live alone." "I do everything for him." "The restaurant just happened." "Then it grew on me." "It's not bad." "You meet people..." "And I'm boss." "I like that." "Gave up drawing?" "Would I be happy doodling for newspapers?" "Then you were right to quit." "Weren't you?" "Sure." "Would you have called me?" "I don't know." "I don't think so." "What for?" "This your first time back?" "I brought Jerome three years ago to see his grandmother." "She won't fly." "You didn't miss her?" "I was sick of Paris." "So was I!" "But that's no excuse." "True." "I have to go." "I'm coming back, Alex." "We're moving back." "Just till the end of the year." "I came to prepare the move." "Hector and Jerome arrive in 3 weeks." "I have to find an apartment." "Call me." "I'll help you." "Glad to be home?" "It beats the hospital." "I'm back in my room." "I mean..." "I don't rent it anymore." "I got tired of having people on my back." "Be warned, I gripe a lot." "Doesn't that look nice?" "So I'll finally get to know my grandson better?" " How long you staying this time?" " 8 or 9 months." "Hector takes over the N.Y. office in December." "He's waited so long." "I'll never understand how you can change countries every three years." "Canada's one thing, but Brazil!" "You couldn't pay me to live there." "Sit still." "Is he good to you, at least?" "At 30 he was already buried in his work." "He didn't even look at you." "I can imagine what it's like now." "I never understood what you saw in him." "No sense of humor, he couldn't even dance..." "He was handsome, but still..." "Is he a good catch, at least?" "Finish them yourself." "Can't we even talk anymore?" " Is Claire here?" " She's in the storeroom." "So I'll call when they're ready." "Then we'll all meet at the apartment." "Then I'll expect to hear from you." "Check if the Rebichon order is ready?" "I got out some samples for you." "Is that new?" "Uzbek." "It wouldn't look right in your place." "I know you wanted velvet, but..." "I found some really nice linen." "I like it." "I like these two..." "This one." "I love it, but it's not in stock." "It will take 6 weeks." "And the other?" "I have it." "I'll take it, then." "If you prefer this one, there's no hurry." "Yes there is." "I saw the guy about your terrace." "The measurements don't jive." "See you tomorrow." "Goddamn door!" "Every night!" "Will you see her again?" "Maybe." " Late as always." " Nowhere to park." "What now?" "Let's go." "We're meeting Loic." "There's a large bathroom, a bedroom, and lots of closets." "You have plenty of closet space." "It's a nice space." "Jeanne!" "It's bright, charming, and the maintenance charges are low." "With a view of the cemetery." "Some people don't mind." "It's calm." "That, or hospitals." "It beats a courtyard." "In a courtyard kids play." "Here it's quiet." "Got anything else?" "As you like." "Take your time." "Get a feel for it." "I'll get the keys to the 4th floor." " You don't mind?" " I'll just be a minute." "It's not bad." "The back room has a service entrance." "It'd be nice for Jerome." "Or for me." "Jerome remember me?" "When we first got there, he'd mention you at times." "I didn't know what to say." " Why not the truth?" " What truth?" "That you loved me, that we were happy, that we had secrets." "We were happy because it was a dead-end situation." "Because we had no future." "Because you lacked imagination." "And you had too much." "Why too much?" "Because I wanted to spend my life with you?" "Because I wanted to have kids?" "I was naive, but not demanding." "All these years, I never imagined you'd stay with Hector." "I expected something more flamboyant from you." "This was a bad idea." "I'll manage on my own." "You knew you'd leave." "You just don't get up and go." "There's the move, Jerome's school, bills and all." "It takes planning." "It was premeditated." "How long did you lie to me?" "Don't be cruel." "It's not like you." "How do you know what's like me?" "Think you remember me?" "What do you remember?" "I knew I was going to hurt you." "So?" "So..." "I don't know." "It was all so long ago." "You've changed so much." "So have I, no doubt." "You're right." "Statute of limitations." "I was very anxious about my mother." "I've been away from her so long." "I was afraid she'd die before we could settle our differences." "When my mom died, I was afraid I'd never love anyone again." "So I repeat: grated carrots, endive, steak, sea bream..." " And to drink?" " Water." " Still or sparkling?" " Still." "A bottle or a half?" "A bottle." "I'm out, I'll give you two halves." "Champagne!" "Good news?" "How many tables tonight?" "Count 'em." "What's with you?" "Nothing." "You're a big boy now." " Eat something first?" " I'm all set." "Nicolas!" "Take care of him." " I'll have him home by midnight." " It is midnight!" "Could you look at this?" "Not tonight." "Thanks a lot." " The accountant comes tomorrow." " I won't forget." "Am I scaring you away?" " She's meeting someone." " That's right." "I found a house to rent for the summer." "South Brittany." "150 ft. from the beach. 3 bedrooms." "We could share with Camille and Loic." "Isn't it nice?" "I don't know..." "It's early to think about vacation." "I want us to get married." "I want us to have a baby." "I want to live with you." "I want you to wear a white dress." "It doesn't look too hard." "I need it in a month." "It's pretty standard Italian." "It'll get me back in shape." "Let's go for coffee." " How's your mother?" " Better." "You'll be at Candice's birthday." "Not too lonely in Paris?" "It suits me fine." "Do me a favor and get rid of these, too." " Why?" " They're hideous." "Hand me a curtain hook." "What are these sketches?" "Leave those alone." "You draw?" "They're really kinky!" "Give me those." "They're old." "Wait!" " Why didn't you ever tell me?" " Because I gave it up." "I think they're great." "Think so?" "Funny you never mentioned it." "It's old stuff." "Not bad for a retirement home, is it?" "It's not for right now." "I get along fine on my own." "You've reached Emilie Ambrosini..." "When do we change the menu?" "In two weeks." " We changed it two weeks ago." " It's once a month now." "We won't have regular customers this way." "Your mother used to say..." "I'm not my mother!" "That wasn't called for." "Enough of my mother every time I change something!" "Where's Julien?" "He called to say he's not coming." "You don't just come when you feel like it!" "You two work it out!" "And you cover for him." "Know anything, Nicolas?" "Oh, shit!" "I forgot the dinner at his brother's!" "Not tonight?" "Not dressed like this in any case." "You know what?" "I'm sorry, but I forgot." "As usual." "Forgive me." "Go if you want to." "Well I don't want to." "It's for you." " Who is it?" " Some woman." "How are you?" "Not at your mother's?" "You found something?" "Where is it?" "Wait, I can't hear." "We're packed." "I thought you hated that area." "Let me write it down." "Lunch or dinner is hard." "Right now?" "I can't right now." "We have a full house." "I can't." "Lots of love." "I have a table in the back." "I knew you'd come." "Liar!" "Like it?" "No, but Hector will just love it." "Coming?" "We're not staying here, are we?" "I don't use it anymore." "I even thought of selling it." "Allow me..." "You have them all?" "There aren't that many." "I thought there'd be a word or a sentence, an explanation somewhere." "I didn't write them." "But choosing to translate them might've been a message." "When I left, I hated Hector... because he took me away from you." "You were so impatient, you wanted it all." "And I'd tell myself, someday he'll understand." "Now I'm the impatient one." "You were right at that time." "Never sit back and relax." "Always want more, or you get nothing." "What will we do now?" "You were shy, you didn't have much of a beard." "You had no hair here." "And now..." "Now what?" "Now I wonder how you are with women." "You have someone?" "Finally!" "It took you a while to ask." "You weren't in a hurry to talk about it." "Yes, there is someone." "You want to know about it?" "I want to know." "I'm curious." "How many men have you had?" "How many men have you loved?" "We may love the same man in every lover." "We take a little bit of each and..." "What'd you take from me?" "You?" "Your gaze." "The way you used to look at me, as if you'd moved heaven and earth." "Not many women get a look like that." "I've wondered what would've happened if..." "If what?" "Would you have loved me as much if we'd been the same age?" "Julien!" "Turn that off!" "Another one?" "What's wrong?" "There must be lives where nothing happens, aren't there?" "I never saw myself running a restaurant." "But I'm happy." "Wait a while before taking stock." "Something's eating at you." "If I die, make me up a good past." "Folks mustn't think my life was only this." "Tell them lots of women loved me," "I had talent, I made people laugh." "I never lie." "You got in late last night." "What time was it?" "Pick me up tonight?" "We'll come home together." "I can't." "I'm in Tours for Mom's birthday party." "I want you to stay." "I want you to come." "I can't." "Too bad." "So what time was it?" "Late." "I got talked into going out." "I won't be here tonight." "That why you're setting tables?" "It's Claire's mother's birthday." "We have to go to Tours." "Look what I found." "I don't have a choice." "'63: the year you were born." " What's it doing there?" " Mom must've hid it." "There's a '73." "Not great years." "I bet they were for our weddings." "Let's taste it." "Hang on!" "Make a wish first." "I hear Jeanne's back?" "Seeing a lot of her?" "Disgusting!" "Don't drink that!" " I want my wish to come true." " What is it?" "If I tell you it won't come true." "It concerns Dad." "You're right." "Keep it to yourself." " You're doing okay these days." " Not bad." "The other one?" "'73?" "Too risky." "Isn't it time I got a place?" "Why?" "You're fine at home." "You get along with Claire." "I want to discuss it." "Seriously." "Sure." "There's no rush." "Telephone!" "It's Hector." "I'll call him back." "Going out?" "What did Hector say?" "He asked how I was." "He was amazed I was doing so well." "It's not my fault." "Where're you off to?" "Don't wait up." "I'll be home late." "Mom?" "It's Claire." "No champagne?" "All's well?" "So, gorgeous..." "Here." "There." "A bit more?" "A touch of happiness." "Beauty products aren't everything." "Expressive wrinkles around the eyes mean lack of sleep." "Around the lips mean not enough sex." "I'm not kidding." "I loved her a while." "She never loved me, I know that." "But marriage can form very strong friendships." "Have you known each other long?" "Not as long as you have." "Help us, Alex." "He's used to it." "What're we doing here?" "Living." "Going out." "Being normal." "Not your thing?" "I'm fed up!" "I want you to myself." "Wait for the cake." "Cut it out!" "Happy birthday to you..." "Let's go." "And the cake?" "Know what I'd think when I was really low?" "That one day you'd have a daughter, and I'd meet her someday." "I'd recognize her since she'd look like you, and one day I'd steal her from you." "You've got some nerve!" "Think that's disgusting?" "Yes, it is disgusting." "We were to meet here at noon, as usual." "I waited here... patiently at first, then about 2 I thought you'd had an accident." "I didn't dare go to your place, so I waited outside the school." "I knew Jerome got out at 3." "You weren't at the school, and Jerome never came out." "It's awful, but I felt relieved." "I figured something had happened to him, not you." "So I came back here, and waited for you to call." "I imagined all sorts of things:" "that you were with your son, you couldn't call since Hector was there, that you were unhappy and you needed me." "Moments like that fire the imagination." "The next day I gave in." "I went to your place." "You were gone." "So it was very simple." "No one likes to say goodbye." "I didn't have the nerve." "I don't want explanations." "I just wanted you to know." "I have to go." "Will you lock up?" "We must never be apart again." "Ever." "You wanted me to stay." "Camille did what she could." "I felt humiliated and she looked stupid." "I can explain." "I never asked you for anything." "Never." "Not for the keys, not to get married, not to change the curtains." "What's the story?" "You figure: clock's ticking, time to settle down... and I fall for it like an idiot!" "I'm in no hurry to spend nights waiting up for you." "So you can go to hell!" "I saw Claire downstairs." "Loic says the apartment deal's on." "What apartment?" "The one you didn't want to talk about yesterday." "Why pay rent when this place is huge?" "It's huge, but it's not mine." "It's yours, it's ours." "It's ours, but not mine." "I'm not asking for money, just a guarantee." "It's bad timing." "Why?" "We out of money?" "We can sell the flat and split it." "That's for me to decide." "Why ask Loic for a studio?" "Get off me!" "First of all, it was Julien who asked him." "And at 28 he's old enough." "He's sick, remember?" "Don't forget my drink tonight." "Maybe if you gave him some leeway, he might get better." "This trusteeship has to stop." "You can't father him all your life." "He needs something else." "So do you, it seems." "The birthday in Tours lie was the dumbest I've heard in years." " I agree." " It's rotten to do that to Claire." "She doesn't even know what she's up against." "You out to get on my case today?" "You suffered for 12 years." "Want to suffer another 12?" "In any case, count me out." "I could've dropped it all, too, and settled down." "But I can't seem to sell out." "I have to see it through." "Understand?" "I haven't sold out." "Don't think that." "I'm building something." "It takes more than you think." "If it isn't my two beauties!" "I'm so glad!" "Well now..." "We'll see to you." "We'll figure something out." "Come with me." "Take a seat here." "Be right with you." "Ever consider getting..." "Getting what?" "You know..." "That's always scared me to death." "Erasing the marks on your face is like asking a doctor to make you amnesiac." "Even if there are things you'd like to forget." "I'm fond of my wrinkles." "They bring back memories." "All this is when you were born." "This horror here is from when I left your father." "These two came later, when he died." "What are we doing here?" "Your father made life more fun." "He was a bit nutty." "That's what I liked about him." "Back then I could take my pick." "But at least he made me laugh." "He spat on proprieties." "Then why'd you leave him?" "Because he cheated on me." " What's the real reason?" " Because he cheated on me." "I was so miserable." "I thought you couldn't be unhappier." "You were just a child, you didn't understand." "So you resented me for it." "That's right..." "I'm the one who walked out, and I never got over it." "Why tell me all this now?" "Because you never asked before." "But I never met the others." "They weren't keen enough to meet you." "Go, Julien!" "Pass!" "What a game!" "Where were you?" "You didn't come hug me." "I should have?" "We won!" "No, you won." "You got what you wanted." "Thanks to you, we won." "Aren't you proud?" "It was us." "Without your pass, I'd never have scored." "Everyone knows that." "You played a great game!" "Without my pass?" "Are you bullshitting me?" "You shoved me and grabbed the ball." "I run faster." "You'd just missed a goal." "It matters so much to win." "What if we'd lost because of me?" "It always has to be you." "Call that a victory?" "What a lousy way to win." "It's your victory, not mine." "Or the others'." "Ask them what they think." "But no one dares speak up." "People see the winners, not the losers." "But you'll end up alone one day." "Everyone will be gone." "You never look to the side." "You forge ahead." "Have you ever wondered why I've been on medication for 10 years?" "Why I'm so scared?" "You take care of me because Mom asked you to." "You feel responsible for everyone, but you just screw up." "Just because you have a piece of paper doesn't mean you own me." "I can't believe this!" "I'm not your thing!" "You don't own me!" "If I want to leave, I'll leave!" "C'mon, Julien." "A great friendship we have..." "Just great." "Goddam this thing!" "He's not here." "Then I'll go to his place." "Take the bus with me." "My gym's near his house." "He's great." "His class is in 3 parts:" "30 minutes of step-touch, 20 minutes of stretching, 10 minutes of yoga." "I need to get back into it." "I go to the pool, but it's not enough." "You can't let yourself go too long." "I'll pick up a brochure." "I'll give it to Alex." "You don't like me." "People like you fascinate me." "People like me?" "Those who leave the table without paying the check." "Maybe I envy you." "I've never been able to do that." "This is my stop." "See you around." "It was hard for me, too." "I don't give a shit." "Alex isn't home." " I'll come back." " You can wait here if you want." "We were supposed to meet." "Alex is always late." "You grew up, but your face hasn't changed." "Sorry, I have things to do." "Need a hand?" "Got anyone in your life?" "Alex was your age when I left." "What should I tell your brother?" "I dunno." "Nothing." "Tell him nothing." "I looked all over for you." "You disappeared." "I want to go away." "I'm so tired." "Wake up." "We're here." "On your feet!" "We've got lots to do." ""...paved with bricks laid edgewise" ""in a herringbone pattern." ""The square is named after the Pretorio Palace, Palazzo Pretorio," ""which stands in the center." ""The surrounding streets and medieval houses" ""make it one of Italy's most evocative sites."" "Can you put that away a minute?" "First we read, then we look, to know what we're looking at." "Quit sulking!" "Enjoy it. "One of Italy's most evocative sites." It says so here!" "Come on!" "You'll teach me." "Press here." "Release the brake." "Release the brake." "Slowly give it the throttle." "Give it the throttle." "Easy!" "Where's she going?" "I can't stop!" "Let go of the throttle!" " Sing me our song." " Later." "Come on!" "I don't remember it." "Stop here." "Let's walk a bit." "I love this spot." "Imagine us on vacation." "We'd have time for each other." "I wish we could do that." "We'd rent a house like this." "I'd stay all summer, you'd come as soon as you could." "We'd eat all our meals out back on a stone table beneath a cherry tree." "And afternoons, we'd take a nap." "In the shade." "By the well." "How did you know?" "All the houses here are like this one." "Is Jeanne home?" "She's out of town right now." " Can I help you?" " May I come in?" "Is this Jeanne?" "You've never seen her?" "I'm Alex's fiancee." "You know him?" "I mean, once upon a time." "Is she pretty?" "How old?" "28." "Like the one you're staring at?" "Who?" "Think I'm stupid?" "You jealous?" "I don't know what it's called, but it's very unpleasant." "She must be..." "Is it serious?" " Cut it out." " I want to know!" "You haven't answered me." "How many did you have in 10 years?" "Did Hector know about us?" "Does he know now?" "After you, I couldn't hold a girl in the street, or kiss her in a restaurant, or call her sweetheart in public." "I'm not going to N.Y. with Hector in December." "Now I remember:" "You used to come here with your father." "You were a lovely little girl." "Now you're a lovely woman." "Your father?" "I came here every summer with him." "We stayed in the house we saw today." "You ready?" "They're ready." "Where you going?" "To sing you our song." "For a passing romance I met on my way" "My life went askance and my mind went astray." "For a passing romance there in front of me" "That opened its arms and beckoned to me." "And the passing romance said: come take a chance." "I felt like my hands held a festive dance." "For a passing romance that spread happiness" "I fled this world to follow its steps." "So I said to myself:" "it's the end of the road," "Now I can just stop and put down my load." "And when I saw love drowning in its eyes" "I thought that I'd invented the blue of the skies." "For a passing romance, eternal undying love" "Is full of radiance while the sun shines above." "And my passing romance, too pretty to stay," "Towards other conquests was soon on its way." "At the time of goodbyes its secrets it kept," "It took its love away leaving me only regret." "And the god of spring grew new flowers afar" "And lost no time to say to my heart:" "A passing romance you take as it comes." "A day, maybe two Maybe more, then it's gone." "So dry your tears with a new love affair" "And throw away here one day's sorrow and care." "A new passing romance will appear at your side" "And make your head spin its arms open wide." "It'll sing you the romance of love's happiness" "And I know in advance that you will answer yes." "So love will blossom for you once more." "You'll see love again when spring's at your door." "A passing romance is too sweet to deny when you know in advance how life can pass you by." "What is it?" " Camille called." " She knows we're here?" "I called this morning asking about Julien." "It seems urgent." "I'll be right out." "Sure." "Take care." "Claire?" "It's me." "Want one?" "You finished?" "Ready to go?" "Where do I drop you?" "What's going on?" "Nothing." "What was that call about?" "Claire's pregnant." "What are you going to do?" "I don't know." "I've never had kids." " Keep in touch?" " You call me." "A girl or a boy?" "It's too early to tell." "Look, I..." "If you came, you chose to come." "When I met him, I thought it was a fling, something you choose, that goes to your head, and you end it when you want to." "That's what I did." "I ended it when I wanted to." "You always did as you pleased." "Believe it or not, that's not true." "I've been your daughter," "Hector's wife," "Jerome's mother, but never who I really wanted to be." "Except with him." "You kept thinking of him?" "Yes." "I even relished it." "I thought I could've erased him from my memory." "But what got me through those years was our affair." "I just didn't realize it." "So, happy now?" "Happy?" "I don't know if that's the word." "It wasn't for you to tell him." "From now on, it's between Alex and me." "I called Italy for you and him." "And for you." "You've never dealt with her." "I have." "Answer it!" " Mr. Franck, please." " In his office in the back." "Yes, honey." "When's the game?" "I'll pick up the tickets." "I won't be late." "Is Mommy there with you?" "Of course, I promised." "Love you..." "Can I help you?" "No." "Sorry." "I got the wrong office." "What's keeping Camille?" "She'll get here." "About time!" " Where are you?" " It's me." "Can't you talk?" "Alex?" " Impossible to park!" " A nightmare." "Hold this." "Hold it!" "Stop." "I need you." "Not for that!" "You make your own decisions." "I've decided." "Do we save you seats?" "We're coming!" "Isn't this gorgeous?" "Try it on." "Do it for me." " Well?" " Not for me." "Sorry." "I have to run, Mom." "This the place for a sonogram?" "I'm meeting... my wife." " Been waiting long?" " Not too long." " Well?" " Why didn't you stay?" "The hospital odors..." "The heat..." "Everything's fine." "I saw his heart beat." "Mad at me?" "No, but it's you who missed out." "We'll see more next time." "I'm sorry." "No, I am." "Anyway, it never clicked with us." "Not getting dressed?" "I took the afternoon off." "Not angry?" "A little kiss?" "Ma'am... we're closing." "Cute place!" "It's bright." "The kitchen this way?" "It's nice." "Really nice." "Sure you want to sell?" "The time's right, isn't it?" "They fucked all night next door." " Tell me about it." " Honestly." " Want to change rooms?" " That's all right." "I found these." "Belong to you?" "Yes." "Throw them away." "I don't need them anymore." "See you tonight." "I had Julien on the phone this morning." "He's fine, he found a little job." "He asked how you were." "He knows where to find me." "Dinner's ready!" "Let me help you." "Don't bother!" "It's just pasta." "Never mind, there's still salad." "Great." "Goddammit!" "Cold, isn't it?" "You come often?" "Sometimes." "And you?" "I plan to." "Swimming's good for a pregnancy." "When I was pregnant I smoked," "I drank, I was reckless." "The doctor lectured me." " I have to go." " Already?" "We'll meet again surely." "My name's Claire." "An eye for an eye, so that's what you want." "Don't bother, I got the message." " Read my letter?" " No." "It's over, Jeanne." " My letter said..." " It's over!" "We've gone as far as we can." "No we haven't!" "I need you." "I can't breathe without you!" "Get out of the car." "Get out!" "We can hide." "I'll be your mistress." "Whenever you want." "I wrote that." "If only you'd kept our child 12 years ago..." "Forgive me!" "It's Claire." "Stop!" "Let go of me!" "Leave the light off." "I love you." "You're the one I want." "I don't want children." "I'm staying with you." "We'll go away." "I want to go back there... to Italy." "Then it's all set?" "We'll go away." "I want to see him." "He won't hear you." "He's still out of it." " Come back later." " I want to see him now." "Just a second..." "You gave us quite a scare." "I'd like some water." "Why'd you do it?" "I thought I'd see something." "I didn't see a thing." "He's okay." "He'll be out in a few days." "He was very lucky." "I came for Julien." "He seems calmer." "I'm sure things will be much better now." "See you." "Your ticket." "I'll get my bag." "Got your passport?" "Orly south terminal, 1:50 p.m. at check-in." "That's right." "Nothing..." "See you later." "You sure love to travel!" "After all," "I understand." "This time I'll really miss you." "You'll look after Jerome?" "Didn't you tell him?" "In my own way." "He'll understand." "I'm no good at saying goodbye." "When I was still woozy, I played a funny game." "I tried to remember my first memory." "Do you remember yours?" "I thought hard." "You're my first memory." "Your face bending over me when I had nightmares." "I saw the attorney." "Everything's set." "Thanks." "You can even sell Mom's apartment." "And the wooden table, the lamps, the tapestry..." "I'm leaving, Julien." "With who?" "Two women love you, one of them pregnant." "A rich man's dilemma!" "According to an old Jewish custom, if your brother dies, you drop everything and marry his wife." "Keep me posted." "What would you do in my shoes?" "Follow them, but slowly." "You can drive on now." "If you're leaving, you have to check in now." "Departure to Florence, Air France flight 1 23, now boarding gate F30."
