"Come on, follow me." " But why?" " Because I adore you." "Good." "Alright, let's call it a day." " See you Wednesday." " Goodbye." " Is this a good time?" " Of course." "I would've come to get you but I was late." "I brought some lunch." "Tell me." "Why are you and your wife..." "I don't know." "I never understood." "Maybe because I'm not the jealous kind." "I respect everyone's freedom." "I can't help it." "Some people think I'm indifferent." "What do you do on Sundays with your family?" "We sometimes go to the flea market." "My husband collects toy soldiers." "Usually, he takes us to a gourmet restaurant." "He tries them all." "Then, he writes to Michelin's restaurant guide to complain." "What if we pretended to bump into each other at one?" "I'll let you know where we're going." "My wife comes out of the clinic tonight." "With her, it will be even funnier." "You're so nice." "You treat me as if I was ill." "You're handsome!" "You're very handsome." "Fantastic!" "I wouldn't have noticed without the therapy." "That's a nice tie." "Your boss phoned and asked how you were." "I quit this morning." "I don't want to remodel landscapes anymore." "The country can stay as it is, I don't care." " Two years ago, you wanted to work." " I was wrong." "From now on, I'll dedicate myself to you." "By the way, there was a charming industrialist in the next room." "He wants to restructure his team and since teaching doesn't pay... you can call him next week." "You'll earn more money, it's worth it." "Great!" "On Sunday we'll go for lunch in a good restaurant in the countryside." "I'd rather we stayed here and slept." "But if you feel like it..." "What's wrong?" "Are you in love?" "Tell us." "No..." "I'd rather suffer alone." "Are you pregnant?" "Idiot!" "Take Karine as a model." "She's healthy." "It needs more pepper." "It's too late, they should've added it while it was cooking." "Look who's here." " Hello." "What a surprise!" "Indeed!" "Hi, cousin." "Hello, cousin." " Have a seat." " With pleasure!" "Put this here." " Want to sit there?" " OK." "Did you three ride on the motorcycle?" "No, Nelsa has her own moped." "She leaves before us." "We wait for each other." "Have you seen Ludovic's motorcycle?" "It's wonderful, you should buy one!" "It's disgusting here." "Look at those idiots!" "Those greedy bastards who eat like pigs when the world is starving." "Little shits!" "Please!" "If you behave like that, I'm leaving." "Ludovic, say something!" "Everyone's free to express their opinions." "What a beautiful day!" "What's going to happen now?" "We could be on more familiar terms." "It won't be easy." "But I guess we can try." "Then, we have two options." "Either we sleep together or we don't." "If we do and we still want to see each other, we'll have to lie." "You'd lie to your wife, I'd lie to Pascal." "It's getting sordid!" "Or we sleep together and we never see each other again." "No, I'd rather we don't sleep together!" "We won't change our little habits." "We'll see each other for the sake of being together." "They will be jealous." "But we'll have nothing to be ashamed of." "Then years will go by, we'll become this amazing couple." ""Apparently, it's been 20 years and they don't even sleep together."" " "No way." - "I'm telling you..."" "Our story is extraordinary... and it must stay that way till the end." "It Will." "Aren't you ready?" "We need to buy presents for Jocelyne's wedding." "Diane was very kind to put me up."

"I need to find dark red shoes." "I found an old dress of mine." "It's fashionable." "But I need new shoes." "What time is the ceremony?" "We need to get up." "You were so funny last night!" "I hadn't laughed like that in a long time." "Yesterday, I bumped into my doctor." "He said I was perfectly healthy... healthier than I've ever been." " Right, let's go." " OK, boss." "There's still blossom on the trees." "You always make us leave way too early." "I won't drink, I won't eat." "My bladder..." "It looks like Uncle Pascal." " What's going on?" " Explain yourself!" " Does it hurt?" " There's a chemist right there." " You're bleeding!" " Watch out!" "The Wedding's not over." "He's a former partner of Pascal's in the garage business." "He disappeared with all the money." " He's the father of the groom." " Keep your head up." "For God's sake, my glasses!" "Damn... they're broken." "I built it all myself." "Next year, I'll extend it." "Today, I couldn't close." "On Saturdays, we're incredibly busy." "My body aches, my spine hurts." "Mine too, neck or back?" "Neck." "You bastard!" "Give me my money back, you bastard!" "Stop it, stop it!" " I'll smash your face in!" " Stop it!" " Stop!" " Let go of me!" "I swear he'll give it back!" "I had surgery twice." "I have two horrible scars." "Look." "Oh, I see!" "What do you mean "I see"?" "I don't have any scars." " Well..." " You're out of your mind!" " A liqueur, sir?" " No, thanks." "A liqueur, madam?" "What if we sneaked away?" "Look, a complete leaf with all three parts." "The sheath, the leafstalk... the veined leaf blade." "Chlorophyll helps the photosynthesis." "Do you understand?" "She was a remarkable woman." "She had nothing to be ashamed of." "Never an angry word." "I like talking." "I talk and talk, but people don't listen." " Are you listening?" " One hundred percent." "I know this astonishing man who makes souvenirs." "The most hideous things you can think of." "Awful!" "The most hideous things that sell in France come from him." " Want to meet him?" " Of course." "You don't take pictures anymore?" "No, there's no use." "They don't understand." "I want to be a bunny." " You'd look ridiculous." " I want to be like the others!" ""Closed for no particular reason, back tomorrow."" "Just like him." "It's mine!" "My father slaved away to save this money for my business." "What about my disinfected army lorries, I'm still waiting for those!" "I never got them." "And it has nothing to do with the garage business." "Good, they're patching things up." " Will you stop!" " Stay out of this!" "Come on, gentlemen." "Let go!" "Enough is enough!" "You're stepping on my feet." "That's enough!" "A lot of good that's done you!" "Look what he did to you." "Let go of me!" "Excuse me, are you happy?" "What time is it?" "4250 PM." "Too early to go back." "They won't be worried enough yet." "A year ago, I wanted to die." "I spent the clay looking for a way to kill myself." "Then I didn't have the courage." "You wanted to die?" " Why?" " Nervous breakdown." "My work, my husband, my kid..." "Sometimes, it all looks so silly." " Can I ask you a question?" " Go ahead." "If I'm being indiscreet, don't answer." " Have you cheated on your husband?" " Yes." "With a guy from the office." "He was funny." "It lasted two months." "It was the only time." "How about you?" " Surprisingly enough, never." " Never?" "Never..." "I've been waiting for you." "Pascal is hammered." "Leave me alone." "I'm sorry, old sport." "He's downed a bottle of whiskey." "I tried to stop him but he slapped me." "I'm a fish." "Catch me." "I've had it now." "Out!" "Can't we just have a laugh?" "You and I are cousins and you're throwing me out." "You're scum, like your dad." "Eric, we're going home." "Are you coming to our house?" "OK, well, we'll follow you." "I've taken back my wedding present." "Your daughter is alright." "Otherwise I wouldn't have married her." "But you're wonderful, Biju!" "I love you!" "We should always marry the mothers before the daughters." "There are two bottles of champagne left, let's drink them." "You'd better go to bed." "I guess you're right." "And the sun comes in all day long." "Should we spend the evening together?" "They'll eat with us, it'll be nice." "If it makes Mum happy." "Come up, we'll have fun." "I don't want him to get the wrong idea." " I'm too old for men!" " That's what you said a year ago." "You've since got married." "This time, it's over." "Or, it would really have to be..." " He invited you to Sologne?" " He was always talking about it." "In the end, I asked him to invite me." "He didn't say no." "A few days there will take my mind off things." "Do you think their flat is bigger than ours?" " What's the surface area of ours?" " I've never known." "Marthe, how many square metres is your flat?" "I don't know." "Help me push the table."

"It's no more stupid than going to work." "I bet it's more fun." "Are you crying?" "No, I'm not." "Do you want to go home?" " We're off." " As you like." "They're awfully close those two." "Karine and I aren't that close!" "I figured everything out tonight." " You figured what out?" " You've slept with her." "You're lying." "Listen, honey, don't you think that... coming from you..." "I'm sorry." "Do what you like." "I was so happy in my sleep therapy." "They woke me for two hours a day." "Then I'd go back to sleep." "Right." "I'll be very cheerful for you." "I've decided not to bother people anymore." "You'll see." "I can be fun." "I was a few years ago, wasn't I?" "Thanks to your dad, I've started to live again." "I listened to the radio this morning, which I hadn't done in a while." "There was nothing interesting." "I'm going to bottle my wine." "This year we'll make 400 liters." "Platform 4, mind the doors." "The train is now ready to depart." "Can you imagine if my dad and your mum got married?" " When will I see you?" " I don't know, some time." "Perhaps it'd be better if we didn't see each other for a bit." "I need to talk to you." "I know what you're going to say." "In any case, now..." "They think we're sleeping together." "So..." " We'd said..." " It's too stupid!" "You're right, let's think about us." "Tomorrow's Saturday." "So let's say tomorrow, here, at 11." " We'll spend the afternoon together." " 11 am?" "Excuse me, what time is it, please?" "Why the hell do you care?" "It's 11240." "My train was half an hour late." " Where are we going?" " I don't know." " Would you rather eat first, or..." " No, not before..." "Alright, not before..." "For a while, I shared the business with another dance teacher." "He used to come here with all his girlfriends." "Number 12." "6... 8..." "He hasn't been here in a very long time!" " Do you know a place?" " God, no!" "There must be somewhere else around here." "We'd like a room." " For the afternoon?" " Yes." "Sorry..." "Room 7." "First floor." "150 francs, service included, payable in advance." " Would you like something to drink?" " No, thanks." "It's great." "We've broken the lamp." "I've scratched your back."

"And a spoonful of ginger." "I fell asleep." " Are you cross?" " I'm furious!" "Good morning." "Everything alright?" "Do you need anything?" "I've been told to ask you if you plan to stay." "Probably." "Well, enjoy your Sunday." "See you tomorrow." "It's for me." "How are you?" "I'm fine." "Good night." "You shut up!" "One word and I'll leave, you won't see me again." " I'm not getting up." " Eric's gone, I need to go." "I'm not leaving this bed." "I won't sell medicine anymore." " Are you sick?" " No, I want to stay here." "Well, stay in bed."

"Go and play a trumpet... far away, overseas... in a band for tourists." "I'd like to travel but not as a tourist." "I'd like to settle in countries not knowing if we'd ever come back." "Leaving together would be wonderful." "One day, I'd like you to make me cry." "I told you, I don't know why... but I can't cry." "I promise I'll try." " It won't come off." " Scrub harder." "We should have left by now." "Will you teach me to dance?" "I'd like to know every dance... and every extraordinary step." "This is Paris Austerlitz..." "Ah, children, what an adventure!" " Bye, darling." " Bye." "I'll give you a call." "Lovely boy." "I met him on the train." "Your dad's so nice." "Too nice!" "But we're not meant to be." "I'm so happy to be here." "Let's go to a cafe." "Did you decide to leave?" "If you'd seen Thomas' face when I got on the train." "He was delighted!" "I've always liked troublesome people." "Those who complain, who suffer." "He's too happy!" "He doesn't need anyone." "He looks at the stars and he's happy." "He gets up with the larks and sees to everything." "It was depressing." "How are you two?" " Fine." " Yes, fine." "I love freedom!" "It was one of Diane's ideas." "Once a year, kids wait on grown-ups." "They take care of everything:" "shopping, cooking..." "Kids must learn at an early age what life is all about." "Serge is a magician and he'll perform conjuring tricks later on." "When I started..." "I owned a laundry." "Now, I own four." "So don't tell me that society's a bitch." "We'll get you a plaster." "I need to talk to you." " Open the door!" " Sit down!" "Are you happy?" " It's not a question I ask myself." " It's an important one." "I was happy." "Talk to your sister." "She'll listen to you." "She doesn't understand a man has only one way of proving he's a man." "By sleeping with other women." "I love Marthe." "And I want to keep her." "What matters in life is family." "I am family-minded." "But... she flaunts herself with that dance teacher." "What sort of example is that for our son?" "I was hiding." "When you hide, you don't do anything wrong." "That's modesty for you!" "Why take it out on me?" "What have I done?" "My brother doesn't want to dance with me." "I'm leaving." "It's for the best." "Good evening, Dad." " Have you heard about Karine?" " I have." "She said goodbye to me this morning." "She wants you to be free to make your own decision." " Want a drop of champagne?" " No, thanks." "I can't leave you." "I can't." "I can't." "I'm too unhappy." "Talk about a merry Christmas!" "I might as well just go crash into something." "Next bend, boom!" "And it'll all be over." "Watch the road, you'll have an accident." "I'll jump all the red lights." "We'll hit something for sure." "Daddy, don't do that." "Of course I won't." "Don't worry." "Talking about it soothes me." "Look at your mother." "Look at her!" " She forgot she was a mum." " Are you done?" "Who's getting the wine from the cellar?" "We're going." "I've never seen anything like it." "On Christmas Eve!" "I mean, what can they possibly be doing?" "They locked themselves in the room at the end of the corridor." " Try the meat loaf at least!" " I'm not hungry." " The foie gras is excellent." " Well, shut up and eat!" "What a cantankerous man!" "You should be ashamed!" "Go and play somewhere else." "Good for you." "You're reacting the right way." "That's enough!" " I'll give them a piece of my mind." " What good will it do?" "The midnight mass is starting." "Come, everyone." "Poor Karine..." "I'll be 17 next month." " Do you still want to kill people?" " No, I've changed my mind." "They're such idiots." "If I was your age, I'd have fun." "Last week, I made love with a boy." "It was neat!" "God Almighty bless you all." "The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit." "He's got a superb voice." "Is it good?" "Let me take your phone number." "You never know." "Come on, it's time to open the presents." "Come and join us." "The children would love it." "We'll be right there." " Should we sneak out or say bye?" " Let's be better than the rest." " We'll say bye." " Can you do up my top?" "I'm a vampire." "I am pleased to see you like this." "You wanted to beat Casanova's record, have more lovers than he did." " What's the score now?" " I still need another 30." "I got it wrong again." "It's not the right place." "Excuse me, may I use your phone?" "I was invited to a party but I got lost." "I always get lost." "Come in, madam." "Merry Christmas!" "I thought about you all evening." "Never mind, stay here." "We'll have you dressed as Frankenstein's bride." "You think it'll suit me?" "It felt so nice in your clinic." "So nice!" "It was all white." "Serge is going to cut Mum in half." "Let's hope he doesn't miss." "Don't hurt me, OK?" "Keep your head out..." " Stick out your feet, please." " Like this?" "Very good." "Right, well, bye everyone, we're off." "Thanks for everything." "Are you leaving?" "See you soon." "Get me out of here!" "Get me out of here!" "Subtitling:" "Eclair Video" " Paris"
