"Adam!" "Good morning." "Let's go?" "Romeo." "Are you kidding?" "No, why?" "Because my name is Juliette." "We will have a horrible fate, then." "I do not know." ""DECLARATION OF WAR"" "Adam!" "Adam!" "Did you see his hands?" "Amazing!" "His little twisted ears." "It's crazy." "I can't wait to get home." "It'll be nice, honey." "Do not move." "We can not give in." "Or he'll never stop." "Maybe he's hungry." "You just fed him!" "If he does not stop in 5 minutes, we'll get up." "Five minutes are up." "I'm going." "All done." "It seems you are hungry!" "It seems still hungry." "It's not complicated." "One nonstop shriek for three weeks." "Seriously, it's a nightmare." "It'll do us good." "I think he'll sleep now." "I'll call you back." "Talk to you soon." "Yes." "Who was it?" "It was Nikos." "He invited me to a party." "Are you going?" "I do not know." "Not if you mind." "You can go." "I'm exhausted anyway." "Unbelievable." "Something's wrong." "Stop Repeating it!" "I'm repeating because you do not react." "Say if you disagree.." "Find a solution." "But you have no solution." "This kid is tyrannizing us." "He's a baby." "He's three weeks old, and babies cry!" "Go get him, feed him, sleep with him." "Almost done." "I'm at a total loss." "Why can't we manage?" "You know Roméo," "This baby came too fast." "If you want to be alone..." "I do not want to be alone!" "What a stupid idea!" "Do not say that." "If you want to live alone, say so!" "Take him in your arms." "This kid just needs discipline." "Yes." "Rosie?" "No, I'm busy." "Don't put her through." "I'm busy." "What's the problem?" "Adam has gas." "A bellyache." "It's hard to calm him down." "No, the problem is, he cries all day." "It's unbearable." "How to keep our sanity?" "It's very tiring." "We need rest." "We do not want a tyrant at home." "You're right..." "He is very well, he has personality," "His motor skills are humming along!" "You breastfeed?" "Yes." "When?" "When Hungry." "And when's that?" "When he asks." "How many times a day?" "I do not know..." "About ten times..." "Juliette, be honest." "You breastfeed every time he cries." "All the time?" "The problem is that we are in a vicious circle." "He gets the breast nonstop, without rhythm." "In fact, he's sick of food." "He is full, then he cries." "And you think he's hungry and give more." "Imagine you treat him like a goose." "It's unbearable." "What can we do?" "You need to give more time between feedings for him to adjust." "Today give him every two hours." "Tomorrow three, and after tomorrow, four." "Honestly, you have a tough few days ahead." "If he cries, hold on." "Can we let him cry?" "Not too long." "How Long?" "15 Minutes maximum." "Then go for a walk, distract him." "And if in three days, he's still crying come back to me.." "Questions?" "Thanks to the wise advice of the pediatrician," "Adam cry less and less." "He sleeps most of the night and everything falls back into place." "Gradually, they find balance." "Juliette and Roméo are happy and the baby is growing." "The two work for a living," "But they have other dreams too..." "Juliette wants to become a great artist," "And Romeo, the head of a music company." "Romeo is a single child, he never knew his father." "His mother, Claudia, raised him alone." "She is a generous, free and independent woman." "Roméo and Juliette are very close to Claudia and her partner, Alex." "They enjoy being with them." "Juliette has two older sisters." "Her family is more bourgeois." "Thanks to the help of their parents, they bought an apartment." "Tell me if I can help with the renovations." "Not much to do." "I love it like this." "Roméo and Juliette have faith in their future and their love," "They are young, happy and in love." "Life awaits, open-armed." "My name is Juliette." "You are the new cook?" "Hi, Roméo." "You okay?" "No, noz really." "What's wrong?" "I gave the bottle to Adam, we played, then he vomited." "What a shock!" "That's nothing." "He's in the middle of a bad cold.." "So it must be normal." "I feel bad." "We were playing just before." "I thought it was me." "He is big now.." "It is his teeth." "He vomited it all up at once." "So I called you." "Sorry to bother you." "You're not bothering me." "How is he now?" "He's fine." "Smiling." "Covered in puke, but smiling." "I'll go change him." "All right, anything, call me." "Take care." "So?" "What the hell?" "You freaked me out, little shit!" "You have a kid?" "Yeah." "Boy or girl?" "Boy." "His name is Adam." "His dad was worried because he vomited." "Try a little!" "Make an effort, come on!" "Go on!" "# Under the leaves of an oak I was drying myself... #" "# In the highest branches, a nightingale sang #" "# It's been so long I love you, I will never forget you #" "# Sing, nightingale, sing, you're happy heart, #" "# Your heart smiles and my cry... #" "# It's been so long I love you, I will never forget you #" "I'm worried about Adam." "He can not stay here." "We'll stay at Mom's.." "It will be fun." "It was like an old-age home." "It always seems easy at first." "But it takes forever." "Like with girls." "I fill all the holes?" "All of them." "You're leaving?" "I've got things to do." "Are you coming tomorrow?" "No, thanks." "Once is enough." "You invite me over to scrape walls?" "Stay in one area." "You won't get anywhere." "Hello?" "It's Mom." "Everything okay?" "I wanted to ask you:" "Does Adam have allergies?" "I don't think so." "Why?" "He vomited up the milk I gave him." "All at once." "It was quite something!" "Oh yeah?" "Check this out." "You think you need that machine?" "See the size of my spatula?" "When did your nephews start walking?" "Late, I think." "I don't know." "I can't remember." "Why does he keep vomiting?" "I do not know." "Look at my finger." "Here." "Once more." "You're tired." "He's troubled." "Should be the teeth." "He's ready for daycare." "What's wrong?" "I do not like this place and these kids." "Somethings wrong with Adam." "I want to see Prat again, and only her." "We have been and she said it was okay." "The nurse said he was fine." "I've been watching him for two hours." "He tilts his head, like a retard." "He's not tilting his head." "I didn't notice at first." "The women who work here told me." "I'm going, but I'm afraid." "I'm scared, Juliette." "Our son is not normal." "That's nonsense!" "It's Not nonsense." "Adam!" "Did you have fun?" "Are you okay?" "It's tough leaving your child here." "But it will be all right." "We are worried about Adam." "It is not like us." "Three things bother us." "Adam does not walk." "He vomits for no reason." "He has huge coughing fits." "And his head tilts to the right." "Yes, that makes for quite a lot." "Let's have a good look." "Is he anxious?" "Change of habits?" "We're moving." "We can't sleep home yet with the work." "He started daycare." "He's still adapting." "Lots of new things!" "Maybe he's nervous about everything going on." "So he's coughing?" "He's very congested." "Should be phlegm that can not expel..." "That would explain the vomiting." "No, he looks normal." "Yesterday I noticed that the right cheek was swollen." "That's what I noticed." "Hey, Adam, look at me." "Like this." "There's something I noticed." "Adam has a small facial asymmetry." "That's why the cheek looks swollen." "But if you look when he smiles," "The right line is more marked than the left line." "I don't know the reason, but we should run some tests." "It may be a virus, a friend had it." "Partial paralysis." "It went away." "Perhaps." "Hello, Bernard." "It is Gislaine." "I have a child here with a slight facial asymmetry." "No, I've known him since he was born." "Yes, he is perfect." "That's what I thought." "Thank you, Bernard." "Here's what we do." "I will make an appointment with a neurologist." "I'll do it quickly and call you tonight." "Why a neurologist?" "I am confused." "Juliette, she's a doctor." "Let's see what he will say tonight." "We have to solve this before you go to Marseille." "In the evening, the pediatrician called." "Hello!" "Good evening, Doctor." "A neurologist..." "It was Prat." "We should see a neurologist." "But Juliette found a job and had to go to Marseille for Work." "She called her friend Louis" "Whose father is a famous neurologist in Marseille." "Hello!" "Louis?" "Dr. Prat think we should see a neurologist." "Can you give me the number of your father in Marseille?" "I want to talk to him." "Great, thank you." "Then I'll explain." "What is it?" "Juliette calls Jean-Louis, the father of Louis." "And despite the emotion, can explain the situation." "I have to go to Marseille tomorrow and I will take him with me." "Can you recommend someone?" "He says he will do everything possible to make an appointment with Fitoussi," "A great neurologist at the Hospital La Timone, the largest in Marseille." "But a neurologist is for the head?" "But he can only tell them in the morning on the next day." "Roméo and Juliette are close together in bed" "But can not sleep and are listening to the radio." "Less than an hour" "The Iraqi capital was attacked." "Many homes were destroyed and several buildings as well." "So war's declared?" "Iraqi forces immediately retaliated to the US attack." "Hello!" "Yes.." "Thank you." "See you later." "They held their breath." "Louise's father." "We have a 5:00 appointment with Dr. Fitoussi." "10.30." "Hurry." "We have one hour." "Prepare his bottle." "Juliette dresses quickly." "Alex went to get the car to take them to the station." "I'll get the car." "Romeo tends to Adam." "And Claudia does what she can." "Take Adam." "Get the stuff." "Call Marion." "OK." "Juliette calls the babysitter." "Marion?" "It's Juliette." "We're taking you to Marseille now." "Thank you." "The car is out front." "Take care, dear." "Bye!" "Goodbye!" "Where is she?" "There." "We can't miss this train.." "I'll explain." "How beautiful!" "I'm glad to see him." "Here." "'You call me?" "Yes." "He seems in great shape.." "I'm sure it'll be fine." "Good day!" "Where is the paediatrics, please?" "You go straight ahead to the right, straight to Pediatric Emergency." "Thank you." "Good afternoon." "Good afternoon." "I'm Adam Benaim's mother and have a consultation with Dr. Fitoussi." "We were expecting you." "This way." "Where are we going?" "To your room." "We're not sleeping here." "Each child gets a room." "It's better than the hallway." "Don't touch." "Good afternoon!" "I am Dr. Fitoussi." "Good afternoon." "I'm going to make a call." "So?" "Adam Has several problems." "He does not walk, he vomits and chokes too." "And besides, he has a facial asymmetry." "I see." "How long has it been?" "The asymmetry, since yesterday." "I want to see him move." "So." "Let go." "Come on, show her." "Let's go." "Put him on your lap." "Look here." "Look!" "Look at me." "Effectively, there is a blockage." "He's not moving his right eye." "Well, let's do a CT scan to try to understand." "In fact, this year he did well." "He can do those exercises fine." "He's tired from the trip." "Lady, we are required to do a CT scan." "Maybe it's nothing, but we have to check." "Did he eat recently?" "He had puree at noon." "Perfect." "Give him nothing else." "We'll put him to sleep." "Do not worry." "It's a common procedure." "Everything will be fine." "Stay with her to explain." "We put babies to sleep." "It's a brain scan, so they mustn't move." "We'll use a mask." "The anesthetic wears off immediately." "Is it not dangerous?" "No, It is an anesthetic." "Yes." "They're doing a CT scan." "The right eye does not move." "They will check." "It's normal to do a CT scan." "It is a deep examination of the brain." "Do not worry." "I'll call you." "Stop." "Give him to me." "Which way?" "Straight ahead." "Go to the waiting room." "Mrs., Put him in his bed." "We'll put him to sleep." "Do not worry, it'll be fine." "You can not enter this room." "We'll come for you afterwards." "How long does it take?" "Here you go, miss." "Thank you, sir." "So?" "Dr. Fitoussi will talk to you." "Go back to the room." "Is there something?" "Yes." "Go back to the room." "'Tell me now." "Get back to the room!" "Now tell me what happened!" "Ma'am!" "Let me in!" "You must leave at once." "I'm not leaving here until you tell what my son has." "Please." "He has a brain tumor." "Listen to me." "The scan showed a tumor in the right rear side." "We can intervene." "We're lucky." "So you can operate?" "Exactly." "You need to know that the tumor is large." "It's a good sign." "You mean benign?" "I can't tell you much about the tumor." "CT scan is not very accurate." "An MRI is required." "Only then we will have more information about the nature of the tumor." "You'll see that with the neurosurgeon." "So Adam can be operated?" "Yes." "I want the best surgeon for my son." "You're in Paris." "Dr. Sainte-Rose has a good reputation.." "Otherwise, in Marseille we have Adam Schumman." "Jean-Louis Giraud knows him." "Anyway, it's the weekend." "We can't do anything now." "Can I see him?" "No, he's in the recovery room." "You'll see him tomorrow." "Get some rest." "All right, thank you." "I just come back on Monday." "All right, thank you." "Let's get a bite." "Hello?" "Stay with him." "Tell him they can operate." "It's a good sign." "Hello?" "Alex." "It's Juliette." "You have to tell Claudia." "Yes, I told Roméo." "Can I have a cigarette?" "Thank you." "Juliette." "You were so strong!" "Without you it's too hard." "I'm almost there." "We'll get through this."

"He should be operated by the best surgeon." "We don't know the Paris guy." "We can meet this one." "We don't live here!" "Paris makes more sense." "We have no time frame." "The best hospitals are in Paris." "Let's go now!" "A whiskey, please." "Me too." "They talked for a long time, all night." "At first, at odds." "What do you think, Claudia?" "I think Romeo is right." "We must be careful." "We're strangers here." "In Paris, we are all together." "I think we need to be together." "Because it may take long." "Finally they decided..." "All right." "Dr. Sainte-Rose would operate in Paris." "You okay?" "No, I got in a fight with my mom.." "Why?" "She asked me the aftereffects." "Juliette?" "What?" "We need to reach an agreement." "Go on." "No outsmarting the doctors." "All right." "No speculation and no internet." "Got it." "Let's go." "Where?" "To get some air, to the sea." "We're not allowed to leave." "I'll get special permission." "What is it?" "It is an amulet." "You can put it in your pocket..." "..." "In the cart..." "See, Romeo!" "It'll protect him." "Straight from China!" "See you all." "We're out of mother-child rooms." "Some should free up throughout the evening." "Go back to reception and the intern will figure it out." "Here it is." "Thank you." "Adam, 18 months, has a tumor on the right posterior fossa." "He's on cortisone." "How did you notice?" "He vomited a lot, was not walking." "It seemed like a problem." "Then he had facial paralysis.." "So they did a CT scan." "When will we see Prof. Sainte-Rose?" "First we make the MRI." "That's tomorrow, I think." "As for the doctor, he's very busy." "But is he going to operate on Adam?" "I do not know." "Most likely." "She pissed me off!" "Let's go to the reception." "We came to see if a room freed up." "One thing at a time." "So who are you?" "Adam Benaim." "They said to come back for a room." "Strange because the rooms are vacated in the morning." "We were told a child was leaving tonight.." "Who said that?" "A Woman in a white smock." "Lets go." "Wait." "Come!" "Just A moment..." "Can you check, please?" "We'd like him alone." "The other kid is screaming." "He can't sleep." "I understand, but do not worry." "Children are rarely bothered by screams." "Once a room frees up, you'll have priority." "Why?" "Because he is about to undergo surgery." "Who will operate Adam?" "No idea." "No one knows anything!" "What I can do is put a cot in the room." "Perfect!" "We'll sleep with him tonight." "Only one parent can stay." "We stay together." "That's the rule." "Who cares about the rules?" "Come on!" "Thank you." "That was stupid beyond belief!" "What?" "Never ask the staff anything, especially not about the operation." "What has gotten into you?" "This is sheer madness!" "Honestly, Juliette, this is unbelievable." "You're making matters worse." "We are not in a hotel!" "How embarrassing, fighting over a room." "Stop wasting our energy on unimportant things!" "I do not know what to do, I'm lost." "Juliette, What is our goal?" "Sainte-Rose operates." "Sure, but it's also to keep our cool, to get what we want." "and now we fucked up." "I'll go patch things up." "I'm going with you." "No, you go to Adam." "Look!" "A little penguin!" "Look at the penguin!" "Look Penguin!" "All right." "We can stay the night, but no one can know." "Great!" "Tomorrow we get a room." "Great!" "How is he?" "He is great." "Want to go eat?" "Okay." "The doctors!" "I see." "Is Sainte-Rose there?" "For sure!" "Which one is he?" "I'd say the tall one." "The one with glasses is doing the talking." "You're right." "The other is too young." "I hope they'll see us." "They're coming!" "I don't believe it." "They pass by without stopping." "They don't know us." "But still..." "Juliette!" "Sophie?" "What are you doing here?" "I'm a resident in cardiology." "It's funny to meet here." "You were thinking pediatrics." "No one can give me a straight answer!" "And Sainte-Rose?" "In the operating room." "He's always there." "When I see him, I'll tell him off!" "Romeo, my son's father." "Hello!" "Hello nice to meet you!" "'Your son is here?" "He's with a brain tumor" "Shit!" "Where is he?" "Doing an MRI." "Is it recent?" "It's been five days." "They're operating." "Excellent news." "Who's operating?" "Supposedly Sainte-Rose." "Know him?" "I know the name." "Ever seen him?" "No, the hospital is very large." "But he has a good reputation." "This guy is invisible." "Surgeons are inaccessible." "There's a joke that defines the situation well." "What is the difference between God and a surgeon?" "No." "God doesn't think he's a surgeon." "No, I have never seen Sainte-Rose." "But I know he works miracles." "See what's going on." "But you can not sneak around." "Are they talking about Adam?" "It should be Sainte-Rose." "Come." "Join us.." "Good night!" "Good evening!" "I'm Prof. Sainte-Rose." "I'll be operating on your son." "This is Dr. Harry, our anesthetist." "Good evening." "Good evening." "And the entire team of residents I'll be working with." "See." "The tumor is invading nerves 6 to 12 and is compressing the brainstem." "The operation is delicate, but not impossible." "We'll be operating tomorrow." "No time to lose." "Will it last long?" "About nine hours." "9 hours?" "It is normal for this type of surgery." "And What are the possible aftereffects?" "There mustn't be any." "But if there are?" "There will be no aftereffects." "Get some rest." "No use to suffer in anticipation." "Sleep well and see you tomorrow." "Good-bye." "See you later." "I'm scared, Romeo, so scared." "Scared of what?" "I don't know." "Lots of things." "Know what?" "Me too." "Let's say what we're scared of, and we'll feel better." "You start." "I'm afraid it's a failure and he becomes a vegetable." "Me too." "I couldn't stand it if he became handicapped because of that." "What else?" "I'm afraid the trauma afterwards will make him autistic." "I'm afraid he'll go blind." "It can also be deaf." "If he can go blind, he can go deaf." "I'm afraid he'll go blind, deaf, and mute." "I'm afraid he'll go blind, deaf, mute, and a dwarf." "I'm afraid he'll go blind, deaf, mute, and a dwarf and gay..." "Or blind, deaf, mute, a dwarf, gay and black." "I'm afraid he'll go blind, deaf, mute, a dwarf, gay, black, and a right-wing nutcase!" "What?" "I got scared." "Of what?" "That something happens to Sainte-Rose and he can't operate." "You're right." "I have not thought about it!" "Let's pray Sainte-Rose is fine" "even if we're atheists." "You're right." "Our father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name." "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done..." "No, we can't start praying like this." "I trust Sainte-Rose." "He's a class act." "Not the kind of guy who gets in trouble." "He'll be fine." "Let's go to sleep." "OK." "Good night, my love." "Good night." "Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death." "Amen!" "Adam,tomorrow you'll experience something I've never known." "Today you impress me." "I feel so tiny before what you'll undergo." "It's your life, not mine." "And I respect it more than anything." "Adam, today is a great day!" "You're getting an operation for the lump in your head." "You have to be brave!" "The lump is a tumor, and it is what makes you sick." "They'll take it out." "You'll sleep, and then we'll be there." "Adam, listen to me." "We can't come along, but we're not abandoning you." "We'll see you after." "I'm proud of you." "I love you so much." "Fish. "Anything can make you irate."" "Oh yeah?" ""Success..." "You work your way into your coworkers' conversations."" "Stay where you belong, Juliette." "Where?" "There." "Where?" "Over there." "Are you all right, my dear?" "My dear!" "This is Claudia, Romeo's mother." "Shame to meet you like this." "It's a little strange." "Good morning!" "I am the father of Juliette." "Good Morning!" "I am the wife of Claudia." "A woman..." "Good morning, Roméo." "Good morning, Geneviève." "Claudia, this is my father .." "Good day." "What's up?" "You're hiding?" "Are you okay?" "What about you?" "Take this." "'What's that?" "You'll need it more than me." "She didn't want me in Marseille." "It's hard!" "Did you see Adam in Marseille?" "Has he changed?" "Not really." "If I had something so serious, I would like it to be visible." "And Adam?" "It's almost been six hours." "I dreamt of him last night." "He was 18 and we were going to the movies." "It was nice." "You okay, Mom?" "It's all right." "Look, I brought a bottle of champagne." "We'll open it later." "It's all right?" "Cry now," "Not when Juliette gets here, okay?" "And her father is reading "Le Figaro" all morning!" "Everyone gathered for the big day." "They waited it out as best they could." "The weather was very nice, despite the season." "Even if opinions at time diverged, if cultures and tastes differed," "The only thing that mattered was the reason they were there:" "the child who today wavered between life and death." "'My heart is racing!" "Mine too." "What is he doing there?" "Come quick!" "It must be over!" "Prof. Sainte-Rose?" "Perfect timing." "I just finished." "Follow me." "Well..." "Yes?" "See?" "See?" "The operation is a success." "No aftereffects." "I removed most of the tumor." "There's a tiny bit on the brainstem, but nothing to do." "He may become cross-eyed, but that's an easy operation." "He'll have trouble swallowing for a short time." "In sum, it's very good that the operation went so well." "Now I must tell you that the tumor is malignant." "So he's dying?" "I do not know the exact nature of the tumor" "It's being analyzed." "Results in three weeks." "Is Adam in imminent danger?" "No At worst, we can keep him alive with chemotherapy until he's five, and then switch to radiation treatment." "Five." "He'll live at least until five." "At the Roussy Clinic, he'll be in excellent hands." "But we'll have time to discuss this." "Understood everything he said?" "Let's focus on the positive." "So?" "The Operation was a success!" "The Operation was a success!" "We have to be strong, Juliette." "Yes!" "After the operation, Adam stayed in intensive care." "He was in an induced coma for a while, then palliative care." "They visited him every day until he fell asleep for comfort and support." "Juliette's and Romeo's sole preoccupation then was to explain to him it wouldn't last." "I would be over soon." "Now they knew that Adam's recovery would be a marathon but were still unaware of the magnitude of the race." "Juliette!" "Juliette!" "It's been ages." "What a surprise!" "I thought of you the other day." "'What are you doing here?" "You live around here?" "Yes!" "Me too, almost." "I may buy a place." "Really?" "The other day I saw Michel." "Still see Annick?" "No, we lost touch." "What a pity." "I'll throw us a dinner." "We can catch up." "I have a bundle." "A bundle of what?" "A baby!" "You too, right?" "Yes." "That's so amazing!" "How old?" "He's two." "Just like Leo!" " His name?" "Adam." "That's nice!" "And he's not too sick?" "With day care, it's nonstop!" "Yes, he has cancer." "That's awful." "I can't believe it." "Pooryou!" "How do you manage?" "How did you notice?" "Is it hereditary?" "No." "Didn't they explain?" "There is none." "There has to be." "It can happen to anyone." "Can you explain the negative 4253 euros in your account?" "Yes, it's very simple." "I'd rather eat out than in and buy my wife gifts." "Are You kidding me?" "Not at all." "I could explain in detail, but you'd pity me, and that would be embarrassing." "I need an explanation." "Do you make less?" "Lose your job?" "I'm sorry," "You'll have to give me your credit card." "How do you find him?" "Pretty good." "How do you feel?" "Okay." "Pretty good too." "We got the MRI results." "The tumor hasn't grown." "This is a good sign?" "It means his new treatment works." "It's a little more complicated." "With the ICE regime, results should be better." "We questioned the nature of Adam's tumor." "The MRI and the tumor's location... suggest that it may be rhabdoid." "What's that?" "A different kind of tumor, more aggressive." "We'd change treatment." "So what do we do?" "Nothing for now." "Why continue with ICE if it's not working?" "We'll finish the treatment." "It's after the last session we can tell." "And it allows us to rule out if it's rhabdoid." "Is the fact that it hasn't grown a victory?" "Victory, no, but we've made progress." "Can I ask a question?" "What are you asking?" "Do not do this question..." "Please..." "You are a bag!" "That less aggressive cancer,..." "Carcinoma?" "Yes." "You said there was a 70% chance of recovery." "And with the mean one?" "Aggressive tumors are harder to treat." "But you have a chance?" "Less Chance, but yes." "What's the prognosis?" "It is very difficult to answer." "It is a rare tumor..." "It is an approximate number, but the chances are 10%." "And when we will know if he has this cancer?" "Unfortunately, I can't answer that yet." "Please could you turn down the volume?" "Romeo!" "Excuse me!" "Son of a bitch!" "Hi, Jeanne!" "You stood me up a year ago!" "I called, left messages, you never called back." "Now you show up." "Where's my birthday present?" "No present." "You must." "I don't." "I'm sorry." "No?" "What can I say?" "I came empty-handed!" "Empty-handed?" "I'll show you hands!" "Hit me." "You asked!" "Stop bothering him!" "You know his son has cancer." "Enough!" "I know, but I can still bawl him out!" "You're a pain." "Your dinner sucks." "Pascal!" "Calm down!" "He has no sense of humor." "Unbelievable!" "It's pathetic." "It's like beyond pathetic!" "Here's a good one." "Small breasts are closer to the heart." "Let me tell you something:" "You two want to kiss now." "Know who it is?" "It's Niko." "Nikos!" "Put your lips here." "It's him who wants to kiss me!" "You don't know what you want!" "I'm sorry!" "If he's willing..." "I just got passed over for my friend." "Damn, I was wrong!" "I don't get it." "I thought you wanted to kiss him." "I want to kiss him." "What the hell is going on?" "An Open Kiss party?" "It is an "open kiss" party." "Everyone can kiss!" "It's cool." "It is an "open kiss" party!" "So kiss me!"

"I wanted to know if all's well." "Great!" "Thank you." "Everything's fine." "No more fever, sleeping like a baby." "Lousy magazines!" "They're turning my brain into sponge." "My Kikou, honey!" "Don't call me that here!" "How are you, Philippe?" "And Adam?" "Where is he?" "It's time for the machine." "That machine!" "I hate it." "And the chemo?" "He's not vomiting too much?" "He must be tired, right?" "The doctors say he's great." "Biggest baby in the ward!" "Brought the tops?" "Ask your father." "Tell her!" "I laid out a bag of tops." "He forgot it!" "What a pity!" "He's out of clean clothes." "She's upset about the tops." "I forgot them!" "It's not a major incident!" "Get lost!" "You annoy me!" "Are you crazy?" "No big deal." "Stop it!" "So selfish!" "Let's go!" "I think they're done." "Wait here and stay put!" "See all those obese people?" "It's wild." "A family of obese people." "And a real lot of them!" "Yeah, tons." "I have never seen so many at once..." "Definitely every layer of society here." "The new MRI results are not satisfactory." "Now we know for sure that the tumor is rhabdoid." "Is it serious?" "Adam has a very serious disease." "We couldn't know before?" "No." "You think we lost time?" "It's a rare and complex cancer." "We're moving as fast as possible." "We'll meet again very soon to discuss treatment." "Listen to me." "It's a serious cancer, but nowadays it can be beaten." "All we can do is foster Adam's development." "Give him structure." "We'll take things as they come along." "Day by day, not like each one's the last." "We'll get government aid to hire someone who can take care of Adam." "We'll have quality time with him in the afternoon." "It's healthier." "Or we'll never keep this up." "We will also leave a notebook" "To communicate with you." "If our parents ask about Adam, don't bother answering." "Especially my mother." "Not to keep her in the dark, but she panics and imagines the worst." "It gets us nowhere." "Well, I have nothing to tell them." "You are the parents." "Thank you, doctor!" "We start a new treatment:" "Potent chemotherapy and a marrow transplant." "He'll stay in a sterile room to avoid bacterial infection." "Only you can visit him." "Ms. Weiss will explain the protocol in the sterile ward." "Adam can only receive visits from his parents." "For the risk of contamination is very high." "You can stay in the Parents Wing to be nearby." "Thus be closer to the hospital." "Martine, Our social worker will explain." "Furthermore, we're selling the apartment." "We're broke." "We'll stay at the hospital however long it takes." "This is another level.." "You'll have to be strong." "This is another level."

"Good morning, big guy!" "Now I'm coloring it gray." "Clara died." "Really!" "Poor thing." "I'll have a coffee." "Can you stay?" "Are you okay?" "I'm fine, thanks." "You left Adam alone?" "I told his nurse." "Upset I didn't wake up early?" "Not at all." "It was strange to hear Clara died." "I wanted to talk, and you were cold." "It's normal I was cold." "I walk in, and you announce that." "I do not want to think about it." "I want to protect myself." "It's not my problem." "Crying for someone you don't know, that's your problem." "And you say that in front of Adam." "It's morbid." "I didn't say it morbidly." "I was just scared." "I'm scared too." "But there's no use comparing." "That's not what this is about." "You're upset I was late." "No." "Yes." "But you won't admit it." "It's true." "I was upset you were late." "Why not say so?" "I hate to be a killjoy." "You are a killjoy." "So what?" "You're right." "I'm an asshole." "I did not want to come." "I wanted to get some air." "I can not stand to be here anymore." "Everyone is on vacation and we're stuck here." "Where did you go?" "Out for coffee." "It was depressing." "So I took a walk, and that's it." "I'm so fed up, Juliette." "Things were good., we were happy." "Why did this happen to us?" "Why Adam?" "Because we can overcome it." "You do me good, Juliette." "If I get through this, it's thanks to you." "I'm sorry for earlier." "I always tell you the truth and not lies to mask the truth." "What was that again?" "Come on, you understand." "Juliette..." "Me too." "Juliette and Roméo continued in this life for another two years." "They put on a brave face, they had no choice." "They did it for Adam, for themselves." "But reality caught up with them." "They stopped working, stopped seeing friends, and became isolated." "Then exhaustion settled in, solitude." "They separated, got back together several times, then seperated for good." "They each started a new life." "They knew they would never be the same." "but would stay close to each other forever." "And before their enormous ordeal, they remained strong." "Destroyed, for sure, but strong." "How old are you, Adam?" "8 years." "What grade?" "Third." "Is it going well?" "Yes." "Any favorite subjects?" "Yes." "Like what?" "Math." "Can I play Nintendo?" "Yes." "No, not now." "The operation took place over five years ago." "The remission period is over." "Do you understand?" "So he's cured?" "His chance of getting cancer is the same as anyone else's." "Can I play Nintendo?" "Yes." "Mute it." "OK." "When is the next MRI?" "In three years." "Just to check." "Which game is it?" "It is Shrek." "Who's Shrek?" "The big green one?" "Mm-hmm." "That's it." "Things will be good now." "Even if it is not always easy." "Thank you, Doctor!" "Thank you." "I am very happy."
