"HAPPINESS" "Dad's sleeping." "We have to be quiet." "They woke you up?" "No, don't worry." "Lovely weather." "Beautiful Sunday!" "They asleep?" "It's your day." " Again..." " Father's Day all day long." "How do you find Mom's dress?" "Beautiful like Mom." "Come..." "Gisou." "The babies are sleepy." "Watch where you step!" "You can't open it?" "Hold on." "Tell your Daddy "Happy Day!"" "Your Daddy Happy Day!" "Thank you, darling." "Joseph!" "Good evening." "Hi, Uncle Jo." " Had a good Sunday?" " Yes." "You?" "Great." "Beautiful salads." "Aren't they green!" " Father's Day, eh..." " Well, Uncle's Day too." "Good evening." "For you." "Keep them, my garden is full." "Give me a kiss, eh?" "They're dirty and tired." "I'd like a kiss, little man." "He's not as sweet as Gisou and he's a boy." "Stop, he'll talk back soon." "Today, he said madeleine and train." "He did?" "Try Hello, Aunt Madeleine." "He's stubborn." "We had a nice day." "We stayed here watching TV and had a short nap until five." " Same for us." " You too?" "No, I went for a walk." "I looked at them." "Well, everything's fine." "We have to go." "Bedtime." "Come, Gisou!" "Let's go home, kids." "Want the car back tonight?" "Don't bother." "We'll stay home." "Tomorrow, I'll go on the bus." "Nice of you." "Take your flowers." "Good night, little one." "Good night, little cat." " Good night, little chick." " Good night, Daddy." "The countryside is beautiful." "I wonder what I like more:" "The smell of the trees, the grass or the river..." "Let's go!" "Already noon?" "Taken Jo's lunchbox too?" "Sure, it's Monday." " The game was great!" " I saw some of it on TV." " Just when the goal of Reims..." " Great, but the referee was unfair." "Lunch inside or outside?" " Outside!" " No, inside!" " Heads or tails?" " Heads." "You win." "Where's Pierrot?" "With Adèle, at the window." "He's visiting." "For candy, of course!" "I want some too." "Come, you'll get some." " He's been good?" " He's been adorable." " Hello Mrs. Chevalier." " Hello." " Getting married soon?" " That's why we're here." "We went to Paris to find a ready-made dress." "But she liked nothing." "She isn't easy." "No, but ready-to-wear doesn't fit." "Not even in fashion." "I want what I saw in Elle, a dress with a short cape." "Hope you can do it." "Yes." "For when?" "Saturday of next week." "It's short." "A long gown, I mean." "Short time, long dress." "Here's the sample." "We didn't know how many yards pattern?" " Here it is." "Let's measure you." " Will you wear heels?" " Of course." "Here is Daddy." "Hi horse, hi Dad." "Do you have sugar in your pocket?" " Always." " For the horse?" "Hey, horse!" "Is it good?" "Already here?" "What a welcome!" "Hello everyone!" "I meant glad to see you early." "That's how to speak to a husband." "Oh, Miss is getting married?" "Congratulations!" "Our Yvette is leaving Fontenay for nearby:" "L'Hay-les-Roses." "Still suburb with roses." "Better than Kremlin-Bicêtre." "Don't exaggerate." "Getting married is the thing." "Little man, how was it all day long?" "What is all day long?" "It's a day." "It's sun then." "Why then you said how was it all day long?" "Why don't you come to me?" "I'm coming..." "You goofed." "Her husband is in Kremlin-Bicêtre, in the Mercier Mausoleum." "Imagine a wedding in a mausoleum." "That's silly." "You know I'm hungry." "We'll eat in 5 minutes." "I'm going to Vincennes tomorrow." "Several days' work in a new building." "Is Uncle Jo going too?" "No, he wants me on my own." "He wants to retire." "Dad, give me some bread." "As long as he takes care of the bills." "Post Office, please." "There, on the right." "Miss, please, 34 in Fontenay." "Funny." "I'm moving to Fontenay soon." "I'll pass you the call." "Booth 1." "Go ahead!" "Joseph?" "It's me." "A problem..." "They forgot about the chimney." "It's built." "The closet doesn't fit." "Do I fix it here, or?" "OK, I'll take new measures." "Finished?" "Not yet." "We'll see you soon?" "Early July." "It will suit me if Annie comes at 8:30 to babysit." "We could make the 9:00 show." "I'd love it." "Hope it's a western." "No horses in this one." "A French film, then." "With Bardot and Moreau for the first time together." "Which one you prefer?" "As a woman." "As a woman?" "You!" "I'm back early, I'll catch up tomorrow." "Come, both of you." "The ad for Nicolas' wines." "Stop the music." "John!" "Some rosé for you, it's St. John's Day." "You're as good as gold." "A real father for me." "Get the glasses." "Gosh!" "Had to hurry from Vincennes not to miss this." "Right on time." "It's time." "Hey, big fiesta!" "Drinking and smoking." "Who's got a light?" "Light and bonfire for St. John." "You've put enough wood." "Give this to Auntie." "Thanks." "Give this to Dad." "Two are made." "It'll be good." "No flames..." "Skewers need coals." "It's enough to cook, Uncle?" " Smoked meat is better." " Like cowboys eat." "Indians eat the same." "Indians eat more spicy." "With peppers?" "Red skin, red pepper!" "Closed..." "He isn't home." "I'll bring the car in." "What?" "Gosh!" "It's a girl!" "Oh, a girl!" "Almost 7 pounds." "Born at 2:00 pm." ""The key as usual." "Please feed the kids." "I'll be back at 10:00."" "So, you've got a sister." " I wanted a brother." " We have a niece at last." "I'll close the gate so no one steals the kids." "Are there kidnappers?" "No, I just want them to sleep quietly." "Gisou will be happy later." "I hope we will, too." "What a pretty bird!" " Who is he?" " It's John-Good." "The husband of Anna-Good-Maid?" "Miss..." "Fontenay again?" "No, today a Paris number." "Diderot 5613." "Mr. Chevalier please." "It's his brother." "It's you?" "Bravo!" "Yes, we're happy." ""Isabelle"!" "Nice name." "No, I'm on an outside job." "To send a telegram..." "For a happy event?" "I'm an uncle again." "How much?" " Nephews or the price?" " The price." "I've got 2 nephews, a niece and 2 kids." "The kids are yours?" "40 cents." "Cheap for a family." "When will you be in Fontenay?" "Early in July." "It's coming soon." "I'm afraid to be lost." "It's a nice place with roses." "Is a call for Tel-Aviv expensive?" "Very." " I'm not eating with you." " All right." "I'll let you work." "Where's the best coffee around here?" "At Le Château, not Le Castel." "What about my lunch-box?" "I'll give it to the zoo lions or to the bears." "Does your wife make honey?" "You could say that." "She's nice and cooks well." "I could use another cup." "Waiter!" "2 coffees." "Does she work?" "Yes, a dressmaker." "And you?" "Woodworker." "Can't you tell?" "Not from your face." "I don't smell of wood?" "No, more like the woods." "OK, I love it." "Don't you?" "I like it too." "But also movies and dancing." "Fontenay may be slightly dead." "Actually peaceful." "TEMPTATION" "MYSTERY" "Why do you come to Fontenay?" "I can get a new flat, a studio, thanks to my brother." "He's away in the tires business and I am in the wires business!" "He got me the flat for 2 years, for him when he returns." "I rather live and work at the same place." "So I requested my transfer." "I can go back to Vincennes for dancing." "There are dance halls in Fontenay and 2 movie theaters." "No big coffee-shops like here but roses." "That would be a treat." "You are the treat." "What about moving?" "Let's see the château." "Inside or outside?" "Inside." "Outside." "OK." "Have to get back to work." "Since you're a woodworker, could you put up my shelves?" "Sure I can." "When?" "I'm moving in on Saturday with all my stuff." "I'll come around 2:00 or 3:00." "The white building on the square." "Paul Bert Avenue." "Number 4, entrance B, 5th floor on the right." "My name's Emilie Savignac." "Emilie, I love you." "I mean, happy to know you." "Well..." "Well, why?" "You're unbelievable." "Don't believe me... but I never lie." " Time to work." "Shall we go?" " Already?" "I still have time... to get some sun." "I'll stay here." " Then I'll leave you." " See you." " On Saturday at 4:00." " Remember the address?" "Entrance B, 5th floor, left." "No, right." "See you." "See you Emilie." "I LOVE" "This fabric is nice but slippery." "It's endless." " And they want dresses for the girls." " They could have told you!" "You know, at the last minute, they thought of little bridesmaids." "I worked hard today." "Me too." "I finished in Vincennes, I got 2 bottles of wine as a tip." "This little garage is a long job to paint." "Stop, you have time." "But hide it so Pierrot doesn't see it." "Look!" "It looks nice." "Beautiful..." "Well, it will be." "Careful!" "The pins!" "The paint!" "No paint on my fingers." "Some on your shirt." "Doesn't matter." "Don't be mad at me or I'll spank you." "Hope I finish the dresses for Saturday." "Don't wear yourself out." "Say no for the girls." "I can't." "They're nice, they've invited us." "Saturday afternoon." "It'll be fun and I'll see how the gown looks." "Can't go, I accepted a job." "How sad." "You'll go with the kids." "I'll come later to get you." "Bedtime..." "I feel like sleeping." "Me too." "Adèle!" "Look at the bride!" "It was worth speeding." "She's wonderful." "Exquisite." "See you this afternoon." "Around 3:00." "But my husband is working." "You'll lend me a picture to show him?" "The bride is beautiful." "There..." "I love you too." "I feel happy." "Be happy too, don't worry." "I'm free and you're not the first one." "So love me." "Such happiness!" "Champagne!" "It's a must, for the baby." "She's 8 days old." "Some champagne on her head!" "I'll get her." "Cheers to the family!" "Can baby drink some?" "Cheers!" "To Isabelle!" "To you, François!" "It tickles." "Baby is drinking..." "Little one, smile to me." "Look at me." "Are you quiet?" "Asleep?" "Is it a doll house for Isa, later?" "It's a trapper's cabin, for us." " No girls allowed." " Not even me?" "You can do anything..." "Except always carrying this one." "He must walk." "So wonderful to be all together..." "Where's Gisou?" "Glued to the crib." "Soon she'll ask for a little sister." "I'd like many children but let's wait a little." "I think so too." "I don't want you exhausted, we need our time to rest together." "Is this to rest together?" "That too." "I came for the shelves." "Wondered if you could..." "Seriously, I came for that." "You can't leave it like that." "That true?" "See, I want the closet against the wall and a shelf on the top." "Don't stay." "I like you too much." "Sit over there while I work." "I need more shelves to do it." "Finished already?" "For now, yes." "I'll finish in the next few days." "Can I come closer?" "Tell me if I can help more." "A board and two trestles." "You came back." " You hadn't said anything." " You couldn't tell?" "I was afraid you'd say first time it's a surprise, second time it's a habit." "Every day is a new day." "Are you happy at home too?" "Very happy." "Your wife is not a habit?" "No." "I love her very much." "We get along, we have fun." "Plus our kids." "Surprises every day." " And me?" " I met you and I love you." "Postwoman Terribly Tempting" "Pensive Tender Thoughts" "Passionate Time Together" "Your François" "You have to do it differently, sir!" "There..." "You're good." "You too." "Were you happy once with a man?" "Yes, once." "For three months." "Then, he left me." "Then, I waited for another happiness." "When you know, you're patient." "Were you sad?" "Not that much." "I don't like sadness." "I was... like... slightly aloof." "Now, I'm here." "I'm myself, I mean." "I like that about you." "And it's the same for me." "I can't say" "I'm different since I met you." "On the contrary," "I'm even more myself." "You know, I met my wife when I was in the service." "It was love at first sight." "We married when I got out." "Had I known you first, you'd be my wife." "Sleeping together is fine when in love." "But I met her first." "I married her." "And I love her." "She gave me joy." "Now I meet you..." "You please me too, I love you too." "I have enough joy for both of you." "Happiness works by addition." "You may like having two wives." "Well, I didn't look for it." "We won't be able to meet often." "But, together, it is good." "And apart, we can think about it." "We are together." "When I imagine you with your wife... it's rather unpleasant." "You know I love her, I can't lie." "Not my fault if you came second." "That's the way it is." "We're lucky to know each other and be alive." " That's true." " I love you." " Me too." "Tell me one thing..." "Are she and I the same to you?" "No, very different." "You make love better, you have fun." "It's like a new wine for me." "My head is spinning and pleasure gets inside you too." "Like with Thérèse." "She likes making love too but she's calmer." "I'm the one who leads the game." "She likes me to have fun with her." "She's tender, always there" "and our kids look like her." "You see, I'm being honest." "You taught me another game, we're more alike." "Thérèse is like a hardy plant." "You're like an animal set free." "I love nature." "Quite a speech!" "Do you understand?" "I understand "French" and "François"." "Some look bored on Sundays." "They prefer the factory." "They must look the same on weekdays." "A new client came yesterday." "Ugly and fat, mean-looking." "You should have said you were too busy." "I said so." "I saw myself sadly sewing for her." "I could see you pricking her to deflate her." "I was afraid so." "I said no." "You're wonderful, always doing what I'd like you to do." "...Except rice with chocolate." "We can't have it every day." "What I love, I can have every day." "Radishes, fried potatoes, rice..." "And you as a second dessert." "Every day you have me." "Desserts mustn't be the same." "She has been dreaming..." "She's in love... thoughtful." "With one of us?" "I would have told you." "Who then?" "I won't say." "You know me, I don't like mysteries." "But love is secret." "Even her little heart is hidden." "It just doesn't match any brooch." "Will we meet him?" "No." "It's different." "I like to go out with you." "Nothing more." "She'll tell me." "At least let's dance." "Hasn't the baby changed?" "She's bigger and cute." "Auntie is crazy about her." "She'll love her as much as Gisou." "Daughters and dolls..." "Hi, boss!" "I love dolls too." "Saturday I met one, a "Dalida"" "minus the accent." " You're a skirt-chaser." " My hairdo fits." "You could use a guitar." "In romance, I can sing duets." "As long as I can change my partner." "I'd rather have one only, a good one." "You're too young to get one." "After you get one, you'll want many." "Unless you're like François." "He doesn't look unhappy." "I like fidelity." "The same woman, your whole life?" "Your wife's wonderful, though." "Well, I'm not capricious." "When I love, I can't stop." "Come on, guys!" "You're young, OK, but..." "What about working?" "It's Monday." "You have to earn your pension." "For old people, I feel the same." "I loved my father." "I don't think of him very often, but I love him." "He's here." "It goes on..." "There are lots of people." "In such a big place, I feel less alone." " I go back to work at 1:00." " Me too." "Let's see if it's for real." " If I pinch you?" " Not exactly." "Do you really love me?" " What?" " You said "love"." "It's true even when I'm asleep." "What time is it?" "Nine." "The weather's fine." "The kids have had breakfast." "Kiss me if there's no coffee." " A kiss or coffee?" " Everything." "You're lucky." "It's ready." "Are we going to the country?" "François, drink your coffee." "Sugar..." "Gisou, you're under my feet." "Please move." " They're sleepy." " Wait..." "Isn't it nice?" "This is the best spot." " I can't think about winter." " Don't." "Actually, I don't..." "I feel very happy." "You look happy these days." "Even more than usual." " Does it show?" " Oh yes." "What is it?" "Summer?" "Come on, babies, naptime." "What makes you so happy?" "It's more happiness." "It's hard to explain." "You may not understand." " Sharing it might hurt you." " Hurt?" "You're right, I'm clumsy." "Speak to me." "No." "Drop it." "Sure I can understand." "I'm not stupid." "My love, that's not what I mean." "I don't like lying." " Are you sad?" " I don't know." "I'm listening." "Don't be sad." "It's simple." "You and I and the kids, we're like an apple orchard, a square field." "Then I notice an apple tree that grows outside the field and blooms with us." "More flowers, more apples." "It adds up, you know." "Is there somebody who loves you like I do?" "Not like you." "Are you in love too?" "Yes." "It just happened and it gave me such joy." "How long have I not been alone with you?" "A month." "You shouldn't say that." "Am I different with you?" "Less kind?" "Less loving?" "You're the only one I love." "I'm your wife." "I love you." "Look at me." "I love you." "It's like if I had ten arms to hug you and you ten arms for me." "We're all mixed together." "But I found myself with extra arms." " I'm taking nothing from you, see?" " And she's not jealous?" "She knows I love you." "She doesn't want to take anything." "You won't live with her?" "Oh, no." "Do you understand?" "It's difficult." "It's so new." "If it hurts you..." "I'll do what you want." "If you ask me to do without her, I'll do it." "I want you to be happy." "You and the kids." "You and I." "You first." "You know... it's too bad to miss more life and love." "If you could love me the same..." "Even more if you wish." "Maybe..." "Yes, I think I could." "You could?" " How much do you love me?" " More, since it makes you so happy." "My love!" "Imagine a blanket of herbs and walls of leaves." "We would be both alone." "Mom, I've slept enough." "I'm not tired anymore." "Where's Mom?" "In the woods?" "I don't know." "I just woke up." "Excuse me." "Have you seen a blonde with a blue dress?" "No, Mister." "I wasn't paying attention." " Seen a blonde woman in blue?" " A young woman, yes." "A blue dress with some yellow in it?" "One went along, holding flowers." " A young blonde lady?" " What?" "A young blonde lady?" "A blue and yellow dress." "Look..." "What's happening there?" "François can't keep them, how would he?" "I'm able to raise my daughter's children." "You live too far away, it's not possible." "We could do it, too." " Right, Madeleine?" " Of course." "You're a son to us." "Easier if they come with us." "Three or five!" "They know each other." "We love them already." "If I take Gisou, you the kid..." "Don't separate them!" "It's not that we don't want Gisou..." "Uncle is right." "If François agrees, we'll take them." "I'll be able to see them on Sundays." "Even in the evening on weekdays." "They are my children." "I know, it's terrible." "I'll go with the kids early August." "Who are they with?" "My brother and his wife." "We'll go near a river." " And you?" " I'll come back." "Back to work in September." " And you?" " I'm here." "I'm happy and unhappy." "Can we put the radio on?" " Can I put the radio on?" " Sure!" "You!" "You bought a table." "And a record player." "I thought a lot of you." "It was a long summer for me." "Me too, I thought a lot of you." "I still want to be happy... if you're willing." "One thing I'm afraid of is to take someone else's place." "I loved you both." "I miss Thérèse very much and I love you." "That's not all." "The kids..." "I'd like you to love them." "I saw them." "They're cute." " Maybe you don't want to marry." " Doesn't matter." "You're my happiness." "You and your life." "I want you but not at night... here." "May I come tomorrow after work?" "I'll be here at 6:00." "It's still daytime." "What about Sunday?" "We'll go to the forest if you want." "Emilie!" "I'll let you tame them." "I'll go for a walk."
