"Look, I'm in a hurry." "Tell me what's wrong as we walk." "When's Georges back?" "No idea." "You know what your brother's like." "Is it so urgent?" "How did you get to Paris?" "On the 1st train." "I've been here an hour." "What?" "Your fucking door code's changed!" "Why didn't you call me?" "I got the answer-phone." "Sorry." "I need a place." " Sorry?" " Here in Paris." " How come?" " I fucked off." "You did?" "I can't stand him." "Is that all?" "He's doing up the old barn." "So?" "Hold on, you must be hungry, too." "In the bath, I can't hear the phone." "What?" "Forget it." "Aren't you hungry?" "Now where were we?" "Oh yes, what's your Dad up to?" "He's renovating the barn." "So?" "To live in when I take over." "So?" " So, I'm not staying." " Really?" "Why not?" "Wasn't your dream to run the farm?" "No, never." "That was his dream." "Okay." "This isn't really the time or place." "I'll get Georges to call, okay?" "I'm not going back." "You should know by now you must do what your father says." "Later, you can make your own mind up." "I already have." "We'll talk it through later, now is not the time."

"His heart is pure." "But he sees a lot of whites, as you know." "Someone disapproves and wants him to return." "Return where?" "Home." "To the land of his ancestors." "That's ridiculous."

"If you wish, I'll show you the boiler." "Now we come to what was the music room." "This way..." "A superb room." "The paneling provides excellent acoustics." "Very pretty." "Strange lighting, though." "Why are there no windows?" "They're walled up and concealed." "For the acoustics, I guess." "Hold on..." "Can you hear the silence?" "Quite amazing with all that traffic." "What's behind this door?" "A hallway to the stairs." "The key was lost." "I'll have a copy cut." "No, thanks, I don't." "Unfortunately, I do."

"There you are, sir." "Bones all gone." "Thank you, miss." "What service!" "Look and learn." "Are you back from a war zone?" "How does it feel, civilization?" "I feel an urge to do my expenses." "Seriously?" "Seriously, it's not too bad." "It's all so obvious." "At first." "Then, the crunch comes." "Meaning?" "I don't know..." "Over there, it's simple." "Here, life is complicated." "There, it's hard at first." "Then you get into the swing of it." "Did you bring your dentist's address?" "Sure..." "You want it now?" "No." "So I don't forget." "It comes and goes."

"He says his boss will hire him, but needs his passport to confirm his particulars." "The captain hands it over, but tells my father to stay put as a guarantee." "Sorry, sir, your booking was for 7.30." "It's now 8.15." "The window tables are very popular..." "It's 8.15 already?" "Well, never mind." "Can we have the menu?" "Coming right up." "Say, is that a watch?" "Don't you like it?" "So-so." "So, he had to stay on the boat?" "Yes." "The only way from his cabin to the gangplank, was past the captain's cabin, whose door was wide open so no one could leave unseen." "There was a bigger boat alongside." "Sorry." "It's not ours." "Isn't it?" "If someone asks, it's behind the bar, okay?" "What are you drinking?" " How about you?" " Don't know." "Our house cocktail is light and a real thirst-quencher." "Sound good?" " A cocktail and a Perrier." " Fine." "So, what did he do?" "He pulled on two pairs of pants, several shirts and sweaters and left the rest."

"She wouldn't sign it, "a defenseless child"." "It's dumb!" "A 10-year-oId girl wouldn't write that." "It's an old person's writing." "It must be the neighbor, then." "So?" "So, either you believe her or not." "It's as simple as that?" "Not simple, inescapable." "If you do, call the cops." "If not, forget it." " Or ask the kid's parents." " Ask them what?" ""Do you hit your child?" "Torture her ever?" ""Why is she always screaming?"" "Tricky, eh?" "ChabIis or Sancerre?" "I don't give a shit!" "You don't care, do you?" "I do, but you got the letter." "Not me." " I can't decide for you." " You could fucking help!" "It's too easy just to wash your hands of it." "I never hear her crying." "I don't even know her." "I don't know her parents." "I met the old lady three times." "Not my problem!" "Can you get that into your head?" "It's never your problem." "When there's trouble, you're gone." " Of course, you're right." " Aren't I?" "Why don't you grow up and stop letting others decide for you?" "And you never run away?" "Eh?" "What about your son?" "Your needle's stuck!" "What are you getting at?"

"He hangs out with white girls instead of looking out for his brother." "As for your daughter, look at her, with her yellow crew cut!" "Demba, answer me truthfully." "What have I done to you?" "Be quiet!" "I can't hear myself think." "Demba, I want to believe you, but if you lie to me, you'll regret it all your life!" "Well?" "It was François." "He took my jacket in the school yard." "Who is François?" "He's the kid whose mother went to see the teacher." "He said he'd give my jacket back if I gave him 100 francs." "I said I didn't have that much, but he just laughed."
