"And one morning..." "I woke up after a night of drinking," "I realised that during the night" "I'd written... the start of a play !" "Me... who'd only written novels that nobody wanted !" "So then I drank, I slept and I wrote." "A shrink explained to me that my subconscious was freed in my sleep... like a snapping twig alerts the sentry."

"You filthy sow !" "Shall we sit down ?" "We're all ears !" "Well..." "This is about..." "about a story..." "In fact, it's more a concept, rather than a story." "The concept of the story conveying the outcome of an aspect of a narrative, not so much literary as preserving the traditional aspect of the classical narrative." "At the same time, the story concept doesn't preserve the whole canon of traditional narrative..." "You guessed it, it's about a meeting." "It could be about love, but ..." "Maybe it's about it, but... not right off." "Afterwards, the situation evolves." "It really evolves..." "To start off, we say this isn't love, but the evolution evolves." "Not partially." "Deliberately and objectively, the evolution evolves... towards "why"." "That's it." "It's "why"" "that's at the heart of it." "Except for your character." "She isn't "why"..." "she's "never"." ""Why" is affirmative." "The response to every question, is "why"." "If a question arises, we have the answer..." "It's "why"." ""Never" brings about doubt." "You see ?"

"It wasn't my fault." "It gave me quite a shock." "It was only a cat, but I was very attached to it." "If Momo's dead, it's because..." "It's because..." "It's because of what, Darius?" "it's...it's..." "because he was clumsy." "Very clumsy." "I'd seen him several times on the window sill..." "Trying to be like the other cats." "It's better for him." "And for you too." "You should've had a bird." "Sorry to be so brutal." "I've done it !" "We can't sleep !" "What's with all the racket ?" "Can we get some sleep ?" "Can we get some sleep, Mr Darius?"

"You did it, that's all." "Thank you" "It's the cat !" "No, I wrote it." "It's BECAUSE of the cat !" "How do you mean ?" "You've killed it and you've made a meal of it." "Your sub-thingummy is full of remorse and it works !" "It's because of what you said last time." "I would have said anything !" "Have you written something else ?" "No, but I feel it coming." "I'm going to concentrate like Molière." "Keep bumping off cats and you'll have a play in 3 weeks !" "They're living creatures !" "You can't do that !" " Aren't I alive..." "eh, Félicien ?" " Of course you are !" "And you are too." "It wouldn't be very funny when it's known you forgot to write your play." "Not a good look !" "I can't." "I can't."

"What'd he have more ?" "That cat was..." "Was..." "Like a human being." "A human being." "But..." "OK?" "I saw the new windows." "Your church is going to look really nice." "It'll be a beautiful church !" "And the scaffolding ?" "They redoing the front too ?" "Careful with the gargoyles, they're Gothic !" "I've already told you not to come here." "I need to talk to you." "What was it again ?" "I don't know where I'm at." "My job is to create." "A little like God." "I'm not comparing." "I said "a little" like God," "Do you think that in order to create..." "He may have had to do terrible things ?" "That'd astound me, because...well, it's God." "But if He created us out of chaos... perhaps before we create, we should have a lot of chaos." "Eh ?" "Maybe for God, chaos isn't so terrible." "He doesn't have to kill, drink or do drugs..." "You really bug me with your stupid reasoning !" " I'm really sick." " And me too, when I see you !" "I'm going to be a criminal !" "That'll keep you busy !" "You don't realize...!"

" We must forgive her." " Especially if our family grows." " You're right." "Only the future matters." "[Simon's accident site] This child will know peace." " What will happen to the father ?" " Let's not add to her suffering." " Let sleeping dogs lie." " I agree let's be tolerant." "Welcome home, my daughter." " Welcome to you and your child." "What is his name ?" "It'll remind you of something:" "Momo!" "This isn't going to start again !" "Impossible!" "Momo died 10 years ago !" "I hope nothing will happen to him !" "I loved your entry !" "You could introduce a little more gravity." "Annette felt a great weariness." "This is rather a setback for her." "What do you think Darius?" "Do you agree ?" "Do you agree, Darius?" "Yes, yes." "Quite right." "You have to tighten up a bit." "I'd like to know where my character's headed." "That way." "We're keeping this action in the '60s ?" "If you wish" "If I wish ?" "60s, 70s, 80s, 100s !" "Don't let it worry you !" "Go for it !" "And the style of the decor ?" "Whatever you like." "Nothing extravagant." "So it'll be easier to place the people." "A bit like that over the whole stage." "Do as it's written." "It's close enough !" "Once we start making changes, panic sets in." "Next scene !" "Hey, Darius...?" "What comes next... ?" "What happens next ?" "It's called "The Return"." "You want her to come back ?" "Let's go with that." "I'd like it." "In 20 years they'll say, "There's the next scene"." "They'll have lived things..." "You go very fast !" "Chloe, you just said: "Momo!"" "No!" "It's "Mo"!" "You knock and someone opens." "Who says that the servant wants to open ?" "MAYBE he'll open !" "Maybe NOT... so the spectator asks himself :" ""Why isn't anyone opening ?" The servant is there on stage !" "There, he's moving at last !" "For half an hour people are wondering :" "Why won't he open the door ?" "This way, Chloe is really expected !" "Take your staging..." "There's a knock on the door." "There's somebody there...!" "Bravo !" "Talk about a surprise !" "Must move fast... !" "No !" "There's a knock... but nobody's there !" "We ask :" "Who knocked ?" "Who knocked ?" "But there's nobody there !" "That's how I want things done !" "However...maybe you only know how to do Tartuffe !" "?" "No ?" "You dumb twit !" "Isn't he great !" "I shoulda slapped his face..." "Or even better:" "A punch!" "Really sock it to 'im!" "I shoulda head-butted 'im !" "What'd that've achieved ?" "I woulda known why she left me." "Angélique!" "Angélique!" "She's the sort of hypocrite to sneak back in." "You OK ?" "Everything's alright with you ?" "Feeling OK ?" "After the canapés ?" "No!" "At home...with life." "You aren't so unhappy ?" "Like to see how you'd be if Angèlique left you !" "You're 40 years older than her." "She was only after your money." "The whore !" "That's right ..." "I AM old !" "You don't have to look to know you're old !" "It doesn't show..." "There are lots who are older !" "In the cemetery !" "No !" "Not at all !" "Exactly." "Full of life..." "in great shape !" "Still chasing girls..." "Girls...there are others !" "Somewhere there must be one..." "beautiful, sweet, intelligent." "Who ?" "We gotta find her !" "She and her girlfriends'll come banging on the door and insist on having it off with an oldie !" "Isn't that her at the door ?" "Your health, Mr Le Floch." "I can wish...!" "If you like, we could go and see some girls." "But we gotta pay." "And it'd be cheaper if ..." "I'll list you in the credits." "Where did it come from ?" "!" "The doorbell rang." "There was nobody there." "Just a note :" ""He was relieving himself everywhere"." "You take it." "My mother asked me." "It's really moving !" "How's the next scene ?" "Even more moving." "It's crazy !" "I totally understand !" "..." ""WHY?" "NEVER" "DOUBT"" "Terrific !" "It all comes out of your own personal suffering." "From your neuroses." "From your real-life experience, your heightened sensitivity." "And vroooom !" "It bursts out like a scream !" "That's just it." "Thank you for choosing us." "It's been my pleasure." "Thank you !" "My poor little kitties !" "So dreadful !" "The house is so sad without you." "I knew I'd find you by looking in the dirt." "Odette is dead." "Mummy asked me to let you know." "Did she suffer ?" "Enormously." "She was delirious all night in my arms." " What did she say ?" " Nothing that made sense." "A knight had followed her across the cemetery." "Poor woman !" "She was so full of life !" "While you agonise about your creation, others think of those close to them." "Odette left you the little she had." "A young cat, a dried-up family, these are the ingredients of a cocktail titled "The Return"" "served by a barman named Darius, the subtle and provocative observer of human distress." "Once again he's joined by Chloé Duval." "The night when Momo..." "Poor creature !" "Maxence came home an hour later." "Daddy ?" "!" "I didn't want to believe it but the question remains:" "Where is Maxence?" "If she was late, it was not by chance !" "Look what I found in the car !" "I want to tell you that I loved Momo." "Not enormously, but quite a lot." "Shut up !" "On the night he disappeared I was woken by a noise." "I got up." "I walked." "I realised someone was scrubbing their nails in the bathroom." "And there I saw... your mother !" "There was dirt all over the sink and over her boots !" "I went back to bed." "I thought it was a delusion." "But the next day, inadvertently opening your mother's closet," "I found this there !" "I have to protect you." "Forgive me." "I'm so ashamed !" "Don't you feel a little guilty ?" "Pardon ?" "Dissecting our most hidden sufferings." "Ah, yes !" "Yes, of course." "But it has to be done." "No room for pity." "We have to create." "What they say is true..." "You are a monster !" "I'm despicable !" "You said it !" "Seriously..." "I'm a killer." "Goodness, that's terrible !" "Who did you kill ?" "All those who could help me write." "And how did you do it ?" "Firearm ..." "Poison, dagger..." "A veritable bloodbath !" "You aren't going to kill Chloé Duval !" "No !" "She's in the play." "I'm not in the play." "You gonna kill me ?" "You happy ?" "Yes...when you make me laugh." "That's a shame." " Why a shame ?" " Because I have to write." "Mietek!" "Mietek!" "Mietek!"

"I know, I'm a Breton!" "Be totally frank..." "Doesn't it drag a bit at the end of Act IV?" "That's the pregnant pause before the climax !" "You're not just saying that to make me happy ?"
