"Should've grabbed her, she was right there." "Not with that cop at the corner!" "What'd she do?" "Took me for $700 worth of dope!" "What a jerk!" "Get out, cunt!" "We know you're in there!" "What is this?" "Can't a lady take a leak in peace?" "You take the left, I'll go right." "You!" "I owe you big time!" "What's your name?" "If I ever need your help, Zoé, where can I find you?" "You've been spying on me since I was 12!" "Where I'm going, you can't come." "Forget about me!" "I don't want to see you anymore." "I'm so glad you came." "Good." "I wasn't sure your invitation was for real." "Well, I'm glad you believed me." " I'll call you tonight." " Don't bother." "My voice mail is sick of your whining." "I've thought it over." "Do you need money?" "I might have a job for you." "Ok, doing what?" "A short trip." "I'd like to see some people, some places... revisit everything I love." "Driving tires me out." "What do you do for a living?" "Would you have a little time?" "I play the piano in bars." "Could you take some time off?" "Sure, if you give me an advance." "Of course." "As my sight declines, my impatience grows." "You never get used to old age." "Yeah, I understand." "Do you?" "We've passed it." "I get lost all the time." "I think the shop is behind us." "Or on our left?" "This would really suit you." "Much better than me, for sure." "No, that's ok, I don't need anything." "I'm taking you on a trip." "Let me buy it for you." "Look, I hate this." "I hate being treated like a doll." "At least try it." "You might even like it." "Please?" "I'll try it on, but if I get it, you'll take it off my pay." "OK?" "Oh yes!" "It's gorgeous!" "See, I'm forgetting myself a bit." "Lucky you..." "It's what I need." "It's the same blue as your famous two piece swimsuit." "Remember?" "George was so shocked!" "Lock." "Veronica Picatas." "You've no idea the care they need." "It's..." "They're not easy to grow." "I've always loved flowers!" "What's going on?" "There's something you're not telling me!" "I may have Alzheimer's disease." "May have?" "For now it doesn't show much." "Memory lapses, problems getting organized." "You noticed." "Soon I won't be able to trust myself." "Or so my doctor says." "Tell me everything up front or I bail out!" "That's why I want to revisit everything I love... before it's too late." "Are you scared?" "It's shitty, what's happening to me." "He") me!"

"Try grasping that at s." "Enjoy it while you can because her anger can explode!" "Then, watch out!" "No, I can't talk now..." "What did your doctor say?" "I'm as healthy as a girl!" "And your memory?" "A problem with my sugar level." "It's common at my age, if I overindulge." "But everything's fine." "She doesn't count her money, I tell you!" "Give me a little time, OK?" "Where did you find her?" "At the doctor's office." "She needs a little money." "I'll call you tonight." "Bye!" "Everything OK, Zoé?" "Yeah, yeah, no problem!" "Oh, good." "I thought you might be in trouble." "Mom worries about us." "Did you tell your daughter about your Alzheimer's?" "I couldn't do it." "She'll have to find out sooner or later." "She'll find out soon enough." "I don't get it." "You don't tell your daughter, you chew out your friend..." "What is it?" "I want to spare them the sight of what I'm becoming." "That's why I chose a stranger." "I won't be a stranger for long!" "What kind of music do you play?" "It's really nothing special." "Doesn't it make you happy?" "I'm not unhappy." "If not for music, I'd be dead." "Me too." "I don't know why I did that!" "Madeleine, stop staring at me!" "It's embarrassing." "I didn't realize." "What's going on?" "Don't talk to me!" "Pretend I'm not here!" "Oh, it's your pusher!" "I don't think he saw me." "You really owe him $700?" "Mind your own business!" "My driver can't be constantly hiding!" "You wanted a stranger, so no questions." "Pay him, you stubborn mule!" "You can't stay in hiding all your life!" "I'm getting out!" "I won't bother you any more!" "Don't waste time arguing." "I won't feel safe if this goes on." "I'll write a cheque." "You'll pay him tomorrow, and that's it." "Not necessary!" "I already have your money." "What do you mean?" "I robbed you." "With this..." "I withdrew the money." "It's in here." "I'll pay him, but only if he catches me!" "You stole my money?" "You gave me your PIN number!" "You're a bit dumb... a bit naive." "You have the gall to say that!" "Well, I'm a bit dumb, too." "Here..." "At least drive me home." "Don't stop, keep going!" " Her, her." "She's still there." " Who?" "Keep driving." " I don't want to see them." " Who is it?" "Your friend?" "I don't want to see them!" "Keep driving!" "We'll use the alley." "What are you afraid of?" "It's bad enough fretting alone." "I won't cry in front of others." "Come on, Madeleine, you can't stay in hiding all your life." "And she's insolent." "A thief and insolent, too." "What a pair we make." "Quite a bite for such a sweet-looking girl." "I'm not sweet at all." "Stop poking fun and answer me." "Where do you come from?" "Abitibi." "What does it matter?" "Your parents?" "They tried organic farming." "On rocky barren land." "Nothing but copper and zinc can grow there." "So we starved." "Where are they now?" "They're both dead." "Environmentalists before their time." "It couldn't end any other way." "You're alone?" "Don't you have friends?" "I don't bother anyone." "That's no answer..." "What's your problem?" "What do you want to know?" "Learn a little selling pot or hash." "Weekends I play piano in bars." "That's it!" "I survive." "I don't lap dance and I've never turned tricks." "So, what's the problem?" "I want you to be free..." "I want to know who you are." "You wanted a stranger." "I'm getting out of here." "Stay!" "Please." "OK." "But keep your money." "And no more questions." "I'll solve my own problems." "GK'?" "There." "Now you know everything." "You can play too?" "Enough!" "Enough, I tell you!" "What?" "What did you say?" "Enough of your nonsense!" "Death in a quilt!" "Bird brain!" "Frog -shaped flower pots!" "Why not pink flamingos!" "It's my backyard!" "And my business!" "I'll see those horrors from my kitchen window!" "Get rid of them!" "I don't take orders from you!" "No arguing with bird brains!" "Hop to it, frog!" "Take them away!" "Getaway, or I'll spray you!" "Go water the dandelions between your ears!" "Get lost, you bore!" "Dinosaur!" "Uncouth woman!" "You boneless scarecrow!" "Let's close the door." "What have I done?" "Something's burning!" "She made me forget my soup!" "I'm losing control." "What was I thinking?" "Did she say something mean?" "Nothing!" "It just came out." "There she was, playing with her beloved frogs." "I thought, "Enough!"" "And I went out to give her hell." "She must have been surprised." "No more than me." "She hadn't done anything to you?" "She's gotten on my nerves for 13 years with that junk." "I didn't have the guts to say so." "Keep the neighbors happy, all that." "Well, that's over for a while." "Forever, I guess." "Did you see the look on her face?" "I like it when you laugh with me." "Well... so do I." "She was always prettier than me." "My pride got to me." "Oh." "Sorry, but I need to pee." "So, no more fear in your belly?" "I had 36 fears before, now there's only 35." "Thirty-five." "Wow." "That's not very many." "Grandma, come and see my Tarzan rope." "You're not afraid of swinging?" "Careful, Tarzan!" "How did she find you?" "It's pretty rare, nowadays, a lady's companion." "A young, pretty one too." "A chance meeting." "Chance?" "An interesting young woman like you..." "I want to know everything." "Maybe I can help you." "I don't need a pick-up artist, OK!" "Temperamental as well!" "I like that!" "I'll go help Mrs Garneau." "Hey, hey, I'll fall!" "You almost had it." "If I'm playing Tarzan, should I do the Tarzan cry?" "Thank you, thank you, my darlings." "It's a reflex." "See a miniskirt, your jaw drops." "To admire nature is a duty." "Desire is a compliment." "I'm sure our guest understands." "Such obsession is ludicrous!" "A dog drooling over a bone." "What else would a starving dog do?" "What are you getting at?" "You understand!" "I'm ashamed of you, Martin." "Go settle this in your bedroom." "Exactly what my wife won't do anymore." "I'll go run the children's bath." "I think I'll go help her." "Stop staring at her." "It's obscene!" "You didn't tell them either." "What good would that do?" "Help them stop quarrelling, maybe." "Martin's always been a skirt-chaser." "It can't be much fun to be stuck with a Nicole." "Sometimes, I wonder why men and women get together." "For them, sex is what counts." "Anyone, anywhere." "As for us, it' kids first." "We dream of fidelity to preserve the nest." "I'm amazed it's the same old game." "Walk out if there's no more love!" "Are you sleeping with her?" "It's irrelevant, Zoé." "We hit a dead end." "We hit a dead end!" "I gave up everything for your career!" "Everything!" "I don't want you to sacrifice!" "You're the better musician." "You should find your own way." "What does she have that I don't?" "Nothing." " I need to think!" " Stay!" " To breathe..." " Please!" "To simply breathe, Zoé." "I won't ask any more questions, I swear!" "The guy says you're beautiful, you're flattered." "You're reassured that he wants to succeed." "It gives sense to your life." "So that's fine." "Because he's struggling to climb the ladder, you believe that success is a kind of answer." "So you settle in, negotiate, work things out." "You tell yourself it's love." "But is this really love?" "You exaggerate." "Why is Nicole still with my Martin?" "You think she'd stay if he didn't earn so much?" "So many lies in our lives." "Love is pain, Zoé." "You were happy, playing with your grandsons." "There's no pain in that love." "Soon I won't be able to play with them anymore." "What're you doing in my room?" "What kind of girl are you, so patient with an old bat like me?" "It's not in our agreement." "You were tired." "That's all." "Here's your dope." "It's all there." "It doesn't work that way." "I can't sell this." "There's $125 for your trouble." "Just check it." "I can't guarantee this to my customers." "Bullshit!" "You've never guaranteed a thing, ever." "I want my money." "I gotta pay for that dope!" "That's all you get from me." "Fuckin' bitch!" "I'll break your arm!" "Don't touch me!" "Hey, hey." "Calm down." "Get lost!" "You don't touch me!" "Come back, we'll have a little talk!" "You bother me or my sister again," "I'll put a hit on you!" "What's going on?" "I'll find you." "I'm not afraid of you." "Can we help you?" "Are you hurt?" "He won't bother me anymore!" "I've already had a shower." "You were just getting up when I arrived." "Don't argue with me." "Do what you want." "But you didn't shower." "I hired a driver, not a nurse." "Even less a babysitter." "Fine." "I have plenty to do." "You see to your visitor." "Which visitor?" "Your son." "Philippe." "Oh, my God." "Don't go." "I'm sorry." "We have to hurry." "I haven't showered yet." "What are we gonna do with me?" "Mom!" "Mom!" "What is it?" "Philippe is climbing up on the roof!" "Let him climb." "He can do it." " He's gonna fall..." " No..." "look." "Look." "Keep going, Philippe." "Martin." "Look how proud he is." "Come here, big boy." "Come here, baby." "Mommy will change your diaper." ""if you came into my home" ""You would glimpse in the distance" ""A childhood that looks like yours." ""The child is precious)" ""The days are sweet."" "Put me down." "I'm getting dizzy." "I've gotten fragile." "With this fence, my problem is over." "Your friend Huguelte called." "We spoke to Geneviève." "Danielle talked to your doctor." "We know everything, Mom." "You know nothing!" "We're going to take care of you." "Danielle says it's an interim diagnosis, nothing is ever sure with Alzheimer's." "I wanted to tell you..." "I thought I'd leave you the Lake Doré cottage." "It's one of my favorite places." "I know you'll appreciate it." "Don't do anything stupid." "Nothing stupid about it." "You're the Woodsman of the family." "Don't you find Zoé charming?" "That's not the point." "At first I thought that she might become... a companion." "But she's becoming a true friend." "Good, but..." "I'm glad you could meet her." "I don't like to see you so lonely." "Mom, don't do anything stupid." "I'd never forgive you." "Sorry, I forgot my gloves!" "Her anger is never far." "Her friend had mouth cancer." "She killed herself this spring." "Mom found it admirable, though she grieved for her." "This is more than I can handle." "You think she wants to kill herself?" "I really don't know." "My sister Danielle says Mom plans to visit her in Gaspé." "We're relieved." "Well, I'm not!" "Danielle's a doctor." "We're relieved that Mom wants her opinion." "She'll be able to help her." "Can't you drive her yourself?" "Mom often balks when her children resist her ideas." "I worry how she'll react if we try changing her plans." "Give us a little time to get organized." "I'll give you my cellphone number." "You can call me anytime." "Did you bring my leather suitcase?" "The big one?" "It's in the trunk with the small ones." "I'm always afraid I'll forget something." "Don't worry, I checked it all." "Took care of everything." "I even paid the guy." "The guy?" "Yeah, the pusher, for the dope." "No more need to worry." "I'm glad." "I feel safer now." "Stop if you see a restaurant." "We could get a bite to eat." "We ate less than an hour ago." "You're still hungry?" "Did we really?" "Are you hungry?" "Not very." "I'm not that hungry, but..." "I need to eat something." "I can feel it." "I'll have... a small salad." "Your small gourmet salad." "Excellent choice, Miss." "And for Madam?" "I want pasta." "This is one of the top restaurants in Quebec." "That's what you want?" "Pasta?" "Yes, pasta." "Linguini if possible." "With butter and parsley." "Flat parsley." "I'll ask the chef." "Waiter." "Bring us a bottle of Bordeaux." "Has Madam consulted the wine list?" "No..." "Château Bonnelle." "I'll see." "What?" "Well, it's your money, but..." "Château Bonnelle costs $234." "What have I done now?" "Should I go tell him?" "Don't bother." "I'll take care of it." "Château Bonnelle." "'94." ".94!" "'93 was a much better vintage." "Our sommelier says that this is our best bottle, Madam." "All right, then." "I'll try it." "Do you still prefer your pasta with butter?" "Our chef recommends oil instead, with a little saffron." "Saffron!" "To bring out the flavour, Madam." "He'd have to be good to use saffron properly." "It's corked." "Impossible, Madam!" "Our sommelier knows our wines." "Yes." "It's corked." "Your sommelier is incompetent." "It happens often, Zoé, in snobbish restaurants." "It's corked!" "Take it back." "You're such a delinquent!" "I wouldn't dream of sending back a bottle." "Such a good wine too!" "Happiness itself." "I should have kept it." "But the waiter was really..." "Goading you." "Delinquent!" "I wish it was true." "I've been good all my life." "Never mind!" "The price was outrageous." "Do you have a little happiness?" "There?" "In your handbag?" "There." "In my handbag?" "Don't play dumb!" "You mean my grass?" "You want to smoke grass?" "You'll have to show me, I've never tried it." "Hold the smoke in your mouth." "Hold it, as long as you can." "Madeleine, I love you." "Madeleine, I love you." "Why?" "For your great breakfasts." "God, I'm thinking fast!" "I've never thought this fast!" "I didn't understand when my older girls smoked this." "Your older girls?" "In high school." "I taught for 27 years."

"An article on Alzheimer's." "Where?" "There, you see?" "What is it?" "Minnesota University is doing research on Alzheimer's." "They may have found a drug." "They're asking for volunteers, to see if it works." "We have to call them." "Now?" "A senile old woman, I'm just what they need." "Madeleine, what time is it?" "Four in the morning." "We'll call first thing tomorrow." "I couldn't sleep." "Your grass kept me awake." "You're funny!" "Madeleine..." "This article is from three years ago." "I'm sorry." "Lock." "Where?" "Here..."

"I don't know to tell you." "The worst of it..." "We aren't even sure we have a soul." "I told you to get out." "It's so humiliating." "We think we're unique." "But all those who died before us." "How many billions?" "Where have they gone?" "Resurrection makes no sense." "There'd be too many people!" "Gisèle." "Mrs Dumoulin hasn't spoken for a few months." "She doesn't always understand either." "But she understands when we say we love her." "What's wrong?" "I'm freezing..." "I'm so cold!" "Did you take anything?" "Drugs?" "No." "My Mom died in that hospital." "Which hospital?" "Your friend's nursing home used to be a hospital." "Poor dear!" "Why didn't you say?" "Was it a long time ago?" "She killed herself when I was 8." "She left when I was two and half." "She gave up college when she met Dad." "Then things went wrong between them." "The university enticed her back, with a grant for a PhD." "She thought it might be a way out of poverty." "So they split." "She came back every two weeks to see the kids." "It worked at first, but it wasn't easy." "Quebec City to Val d'Or, it's not next door." "After a while, she only came once a month." "And we lost her." "On the second Christmas she stayed only two days." "She sent money every month... for my piano lessons." "As if that could replace her!" "One day..." "Dad got a letter." "Mom denounced everything, pollution, world injustice." "Even love, I think." "She wrote it just before committing suicide." "I woke up and you were gone." "We must go back to Montreal." "So I can arrange something for you." "Get down, please!" "Your daughter's waiting for us in Percé." "Is there no one to take care of you?" "My sister works as an escort." "Think I should join her?" "Zoé, I beg you." "Please get down." "I said I'd drive you there." "And that's what we'll do." "What are you doing?" "That's my purse!" " Where did you hide it?" " What?" " You stole it!" " This is my purse!" "What did I steal?" "My diamond watch!" " I know you stole it!" " I did not." "You took it off." "It's in your pocket." "Here it is." "I've no control anymore."

"I was worried." "This gentleman studies lichens." "What?" "Lichens?" "Isn't that a kind of rot?" "Lichens are a mix of algae and fungi." "Come and see." "Two living things that can't live without each other." "Surprising, isn't it?" "Here, look." "These are epiphytes." "They don't exploit each other." "Yet they are necessary to each other's survival." "Isn't that wonderful?" "Nature is full of miracles." "Endlessly amazing!" "And you like those things?" "The mystery is what intrigues me." "Like ladies getting lost on a beach where you can see for miles." "Turn it off." "This music makes me cry." "Did you see that?" "So beautiful." "Let's stop." "I've always loved this landscape." " I've been here before." " You have?" " On my honeymoon." "When?" "1950." "We wanted at least 12 children." "We both had such energy!" "Like those cormorants." "We were full of hope." "Lucky you." "Yet, my husband still left me for a bimbo, after 18 years of marriage!" "And you're still angry at him?" "Maybe he too was stuck with a Nicole." "He said I made him feel trapped with my pack of kids." "That's his problem, not yours." "But he died without fulfilling all those dreams he had." "After, the children were suddenly less important."

"Even afterwards, I still loved him." "How could that be?" "That's why you can't forgive yourself." "The love you lost." "I've been cheated, Zoé!" "My life ends in defeat." "Love has cheated me!" "I'd like to pray with you." " You know how to pray?" " No, I don't." "But I'd try it with you." "Pray to whom?" "To what?" "Something... someone..." "Who created life." " Did you have a good trip?" " Yes." "Help me." "You must be tired?" "No, I'm fine." "Careful." "Don't spin me like that!" "I spoke to your doctor." "You must've been so scared." "One can't always trust doctors." "You know that better than me." "We discussed it, Richard and I. We can help you." "Don't worry about me." "Keep your strength for your family." "There's a lot we can do for you." "With you, Mom." "Don't worry about me!" "Take care of your family." "Listen, I mustn't forget to introduce Zoé." "Without her, I wouldn't be here." "What are you doing here?" "I got homesick for the Gaspé." "Happiness isn't just for you." "Beautiful landscapes, nice people, I wanted some too." "Yes, it can be amazing." "Lichens blown in the wind, that's what the desert "manna" was." "They're amazing life forms." "That old man was a bit loony!" "Some lichens need birds." "Really... birds?" "The nitrogen in bird shit is crucial for their survival." "We're all interdependent." "Half the illnesses I treat are passed through the family." "Treat the family circle, and the illness goes away." "I can do nothing if the family resists." "Well, my family circle won't cure my memory." "Mom, we'll take good care of you." "You can't stop the sun from setting." "Better give me Kathy." "She can't lie." "She's so happy to see you." "Help me, Zoé!" "I can't even hold my granddaughter." "Excuse me." "This will be your room." "We'll put a door in so you can use the toilet." "I belong in a nursing home, and you know it!" "I saw a good one in Quebec City." "Do you remember..." "Gisele?" "She's there now." "Perfect place for me." "Until then, Zoé will do just fine." "Don't insist!" "I love you too much to burden your life." "I know what it is to have a young husband." "You don't want a mother-in-law spoiling your happiness." "Caring is his life." "It's what we do, Mom." "Where'd we be if we couldn't care for our own family?" "This ordeal will make us all grow." "How do you know about lichens?" "I studied biology, I'm interested in ecology." "Thanks for helping Mom." "She wouldn't be here without you." "She grows on you." "I've really enjoyed her company." "She says the same about you." "She does?" "I did the best I could." "You're very strong." "You're very strong, I think." "Me?" "It struck me the first time I met you." "Well... fragile also." "I saw that too." "She finally fell asleep." "What's the prognosis?" "You're a doctor." "What will happen to your mom?" "She's in the worst phase." "Soon her anxiety will disappear and she'll live more in the moment." "It should be less distressing." "How long has she got?" "No way of knowing." "She'll have to be institutionalized eventually." "But it could take a long time." "For now we need to ease her anxiety." "Her quality of life will depend on our patience and care." "I worry she might try something now that we're here." "I needed to pee." "I couldn't wait." "They'll get you with their sweet talk." "Good morning!" "I thought about our conversation." "I find it touching, the way you are." "The greatest strength can be recognizing your own fragility." "Yeah, yeah." "But sometimes" "I'd like to be different." "I don't know why." "You're a really special girl." "Good morning." "Have you seen Mom?" "She's not in her room." " So?" " We didn't find her!" "I'll check the other end." "I'll check the Cape." "I'll check Mount Ste-Anne." ""Today or never."" "Madeleine!" "Wait!" "I've been looking for you everywhere." "Stay back!" "Stay back or I'll jump!" "Don't do it." "No closer, I say." "It's hard enough as it is." "You want to hurt everyone?" "Is that what you want?" "If I wait any longer, I won't be able to." "I'm no use anymore." "To anyone!" "You saved my life!" "What do you mean "saved"?" "Wait for me..." "I'll jump with you." "Why?" "That's what the dope was for." "When you called that day," "I was about to take an overdose to end it all." "There was nothing?" "There was no one to live for!" "In 6 months, I'll be out of it anyway!" "What about me?" "I love you." "I'm stuck!" "Give me your hand." "Give me your hand!" "Let's get this over with." "We'll glide down together." "Like those guys at Mount St-Pierre." "Come on." "Not you, stubborn mule." "You have a whole life to live." "Love, children..." "Landscapes..." "Wonders to discover." "Maybe I would have liked to have children!" "But seeing you, I know it's not worth it." "You have no right to say that." "You're just trying to provoke me." "I can't be your excuse for living." "I'm not your lichen." "My soul will be dead!" "You don't know that!" "Only my body will survive if I stay." "You don't know that." "Like a stinky animal, getting on everyone's nerves." "I'm asking you to let go." "You have to risk it anyway." "One way or another, there is only..." "Mystery." "If we live or if we die, it's nothing but mystery." "What's your choice, Madeleine?" ""It's May." ""It's the lovely month of May."" "Are you done?" "Like some help?" "Come, Madeleine." "I'll take you back to your room." "Like this?" "Your pillow's a little high." "There you go." "Want to sing a song?" "Yes?" "Give me your hand." ""Here's the little grey hen..."" "Not this one?" "The other one?" ""Heartache is an illness." ""That the doctor cannot cure."" "Subtitle processing:" "Global Vision"
