"GOING AWAY" "Go, sir!" "It's What?" "10-12?" "Result?" "7O times 90?" "Remember what we did yesterday. 70..." "Very good." "Think hard." "7 times 9..." " 7 times 9?" " 63." " What?" " 63." "Then what do you do?" "Don't help him." "That's right." "Next one, listen carefully." "Baptiste, I wanted to see you." " Delmas is due back in September." " He's better?" "Won't you stay?" "I'd like to open a third class." "We have too many pupils." "No, I'm not staying." "You prefer supply teaching?" "Yes, I do." "You never feel like getting to know us better?" "We'll have a goodbye drink." "You'll come?" "Thank you." "Finished?" "Draw the median from point A." "Remember what a median is?" "In an isosceles, what is it?" "A symmetrical axis?" "But it's too late now." "We'll do it on Tuesday." "Is someone fetching you?" "My dad." "See you on Tuesday." " Going away?" " No." " Enjoy the long weekend." " You too." "Mr Scaffone, I'll be moving out on July 3rd." "One item of furniture is mine." "We can do the inventory any Wednesday you want." "Thank you." "Mathias..." "Did you call your dad?" "There's no reply." "I'll come too." "What are you doing here?" "Hello." "I teach at the school." "Mathias is in my class." "Isn't it your weekend at Mrs Cordier's?" "That's next week." "What are you talking about?" "That's crazy." "Mrs Cordier?" "Hello." "Weren't you having Mathias today?" "I must have noted the wrong date." "Thank you." "My mistake..." "What'll I do with you?" "I have to take that Ferrari to Monaco." "Bye, Mathias." "Don't go." "Come up for a minute, please." "Go inside, you." "Have a drink with us." "What's your poison?" " I'm OK, thanks." " Sure?" "Is he doing OK?" "Study hard." "I got him a map that shows all the rivers in France." "Fetch the map to show your teacher." "I haven't been to see you." "But we've met, right?" "You gave me a ride from Montpellier." "I was hitching in the rain." "That's right." "I'd been at a symposium." " Wasn't it on... astrophysics?" " It was." "You never said you were a teacher." "Thanks for bringing him." " Get the map." "Go on!" " Pain in the ass..." "Kids aren't always easy." "But you know that." "Just a second..." "Try obeying for once." "Chill." "Chill?" "No way." "How can you find anything here?" "Tidy up, will you?" "Look at this mess!" "My aunt was a teacher too." "She was strict." "We'll take him with us." "Mr Contrary, get your bag." "Sick of it!" "What's up?" "He has a mother, right?" "I got it wrong." "He's here now." "Like every week." "I can stay here." "Yeah, sure, of course." "We'll manage." "Thanks for everything." "Get your laundry, it'll be dry." "Hurry it up, will you?" "I can look after him tonight." "No, I can't ask you to..." "Don't you have family to see for Whitsun?" "No, I'm free." "We'll be back Sunday." "He has my number." "Give me yours." "I'll give you 3O euros for dinner..." "It's OK." "It's awesome when I can watch them." "He took me to a motocross race once." "A championship race." "You don't like anchovies?" "Where were you born?" "In Guadeloupe, at Saint-Gilles." " May I?" " Yes." "I was too young to remember." "My parents had jobs there." "Where were you born?" "Not far away." "In southwest France." " Hi, Selim." " Wassup?" "Here's your Pacino DVD." "He's wild." "Your kid brother?" "See you." "Next year, I'll go to live in Arles with my mum." "The switch is here." "Don't stay up too late." "You play basketball well." "You think so?" "I learned on a campus in the States." "You taught there?" "Go to sleep now." "Can we go to the beach tomorrow?" "I'm not your chauffeur, pal." "Go to sleep." " OK back there?" " Yeah!" "Can't we go faster?" "It's not a race." "Look at the scenery." "Let's stay here and go for a swim." "No, further on." "There's another beach." "It's better." "What?" "Jos?" "!" "Can you give me a towel, please?" "Look, Johnny Hallyday on his yacht." "Look." "Sorry, it's Carla Bruni." "Stupid..." "She'd believe anything." " My little sister..." " Yeah?" "No, she's not my sister." " Your wife did that?" " She's tough." "You're blushing!" " The lemon tart's good." " He makes a good one." "Why do they live like that and not us?" "You'll never find an answer to that." "Working Monday too, Sandra?" "I asked Balou." "He won't pay a euro more." "He says I get tips." "He's so cheap now." "He wasn't like that before." "Being manager's gone to his head." "He's raking it in." "He's on commission." "Sandra, someone's asking for you." " Who?" " I don't know." "Come on." "What is it, Mathias?" "Why are you here?" "Come here." "I work too hard to visit him." "M?" "ribel was fun." "Yeah, it was fun." "You went skiing?" "No, sledding." "I worked the winter season." "Yaw" QrQWm" "Patrick didn't pick him up from school." "Your dad's OK." "I got the apartment in Arles." "Look." "I get it in September." "600 square feet." "Beautiful!" " Good neighbourhood?" " Residential." "How's he doing at school?" "He tries." "He'll go to middle school in Arles." "It's Baptiste, right?" "He'll go to middle school." "I look after him there." "I've done Mauritius, M?" "ribel and here." "Sandra!" "I have to work." "What'll I do with you?" " You have to get back?" " Yes." " You want to stay?" " Yes." "Can you take him back?" "Sundays are hell here." "Go for a swim." "I have a cottage nearby." "I'll give you sunbeds." "Lili can do what she wants." "Take a look, Balou." "What?" "My friend's designs..." "This will sell." "They're star signs." "Embroidered." "We could put them in the store." "Look." "What do you think?" "Come here." "Come on." "We've had an email." "It's addressed to you." "What is this?" "The restaurant?" "How much d'you owe?" "You know I can't help, right?" "I'm late." "I had to shop with Balou." "We were out of wine." "Take a big towel." "Here." "I'm OK." "Does the TV work?" "Of course it does." "I'm beat." "I'm too old for days this long." "Sorry to take up your time." "It's OK." "We swam, played darts and cards..." "So you work seasons?" "I was born into it." "My folks had a food truck." "They made pizzas, pancakes..." "I used to work 3 months, then travel." "That was before Mathias." "You shouldn't have kids living this life." "How did you get into teaching?" "I work seasons too." "It's how my teaching contract works." "A term or two in one place, then I move on." "So you're what?" "A sort of temp?" "Something like that." "Why not stay longer?" "No idea." "I guess I'm used to it now." "The freedom." "Yeah, it's funny..." "You move, you meet new people." "But you lose the others." "Duckling..." "Your teacher's nice." "Did you thank him?" "No." "You're going to." "I'll be going now." "Really?" "Call his dad to say he's staying here." "Let's do lunch tomorrow." "I'll just do the prep at the beach." "You're not going back now?" "Hey, babe, come on!" "Let me get changed." " Move it!" " For fuck's sake!" "She's a handful." "Lili, did the trattoria guy pay in the end?" "He signed." "Talk about a slate." "He makes me laugh." "Sure..." "Coming out?" "No, my kid's here." "You remember you have a kid now?" "The kid's been hauled around for years." "That'll change." "I have an apartment." "Why am I telling you?" "I know what I need to do." "You're a hard one to follow." "I've paid your debts once." "I won't again." "You hear me, Sandra?" "I've made up the bed." "It won't be too uncomfortable." "Some men came looking for you." "TWO guys..." "One with long hair." "You didn't say where I worked?" "No, I didn't tell them anything." "I'm not sleepy." "It must be the nervous tension..." "You sleepy?" "Two whiskies." "No, I don't drink." "Pain in the ass." "It's against your religion?" "I hate drinking alone." "Two." "I like people who can have fun." "I'll be right back." "Ever answer your phone?" " I've lost it." " Lost it?" "We had no news so what can we do?" "What's going on?" "You're working on beaches here?" "What happened to St Barth?" "I opened the place." "I transferred it." "The recession was starting..." "The bank refused to cover for me." "I had no more leeway, no more credit." "I came back broke." "My stepdad paid for my flight." "So where's our money?" "Go there and negotiate the license." "Cathy's still there." "You'll pay for business class?" "I'll call Cathy." "Give us your new number." "Come on!" "I'm thirsty now." "You guys are no fun." "I did the design for the place." "In dark blue." "With the constellations, parrots..." "it wasn't bad at all." "Can you get two more?" "I need sugar." "Are you OK?" " Recognise me?" " No." "Right, we've never met." "OK..." "But at some point... people recognise each other." "That's how love begins." "The attraction..." "I'm not alone, OK." "Thanks, pal." "What was I saying?" "Go back to your table." "Listen..." "Who are you, kid?" "Here..." "Get yourself a drink at the bar... and stay there." "Stop!" "Cut it out!" "Get outta here!" "Call the cops!" "Give me his jacket!" "I'll pay tomorrow." "Bitch!" "Shut your mouth!" "What the hell are you doing?" "What is it?" "What's wrong?" "Come on, will you?" "Are you OK?" "What's wrong?" "Tell me." "Can I borrow a shirt and jeans?" "Sure." "What's up?" "Playing mummy?" "What's going on?" "When'll you look after your son, dammit?" "If you knew how to care for a kid, we'd know." "I like that shirt." "Its home's here!" "Go on, play." "I got some clothes for you." "PSYCHIATRIST" "Watch this, Mum!" "I slept two hours." "I must look terrible." "When did we turn in?" "Late." "Don't you remember anything?" "Just moments." "Good." "You don't know your strength." "There are lots of bookings but I'll try to get free." "You have to get to your dad's." "Tell him we'll be back later." "You call him then." "No, not me." "Voicemail." "Patrick, it's Sandra." "It's OK, Mathias is with me." "I'll keep him this weekend." "Bye." "That suit you?" "I'm going to be late." " You OK?" " I didn't sleep." "Jos?" "..." "Can you groom the sand out front?" "Guys, I don't need this now." "We'll be back Thursday." "Work it out." "A trickster?" "Cheeky." "So he's also a bit..." " Impish." " The others?" "Mischievy." " What?" " Dreamy." "What was that?" "Misch..." "Mischievy." "Read carefully what it says." "Mischievish..." "Mischievous." "Mischievous rhymes with joyous." "And fractious too." " What's up?" " Can you take him back?" "I have to..." " What's wrong?" " Nothing." "I fell." "Don't just sit there staring!" "Get lost!" "What?" "I owe money." "I borrowed a year ago to start an Asian fast-food joint in St Barth..." "I screwed it all up." "I'm made for business the way you are for drink." "If you were threatened, call the police." "Like when you wrecked that guy?" "Take him back to his dad." "Patrick's not much but he's a father." "He has an address." "I'm off to Barcelona tonight." "Why?" "Got 50,000 euros on you?" "I haven't." "I know a guy there." "They won't find me." "What do you want?" "Get outta here!" "This is my place." "You're dumping us?" "They messed you up." "Who were they?" "You said it was settled." "I forgot something, OK!" "Give me the 500 you owe me." "I'm splitting." "I'm firing you!" "Take your stuff and get the hell out!" "I'll get me a new tenant." "See you, kid." "Want a fingerbowl?" "Can you work at my school in Arles?" "I don't teach middle school." "But you change all the time." "Show him the apartment." "There's no signal here." "It's near tennis courts." "They're lit up all night." "Will we have a room each?" "Yes." " You haven't finished." " I have." "1O years living out of a suitcase..." "What is it with me and money?" "I'm sick of it." "Are you happy?" "You make what..." "1,400 a month?" "Happy with that?" "Yes, I am." "I'm not." "So I dream." "But it doesn't work." "I founder." "I'll call from Spain." "Hello?" "I'll P33'" " Excuse me..." " I paid." "You shouldn't have." "I'll make no promises." "What do you mean?" "Promise me what?" "We're leaving." "Mathias!" "Where do I go?" "What did you say?" "The B?" "ziers exit?" "Yes." "You're sure you're expected?" "They're people he knows?" "Yes." "Here!" "C' men , Mum'.!" "Go!" "19 seconds 3 tenths." "I need to work on it." "My best time used to be 15." "Good evening." "Pump number 4." "Can I get this?" "Why has Baptiste bought a jacket?" "All set." "Drive." "Drive!" "What are you doing?" "Washing stuff." "I didn't bring anything." "Baptiste..." "You haven't eaten?" "Why would they give you the money?" "They owe it to me." "The stuff you're making me do..." "What am I making you do?" "I'm like a little old man of 90." "I'm lost outside of my usual frame." "We need to rest now." "Think I'm a bad mother?" "No." "I love you because you're sad." "Shall I come back for you?" "Wait here." "I won't be long." "Sir?" "Hello." "What are you doing?" "I didn't hear the bell." "I'm Baptiste Cambi?" "re." "You're the..." "Sorry, I've only been here 2 years." "Is Victoria here?" "No, Victoria has gone back to Spain." "My wife is the cook now." "Sabine..." "Everyone's here for Whitsun." "Shall I say you're here?" "No." "Whitsun, crayfish..." "Exactly." "6 kilos. 3 boxes of them." "Baptiste..." "Mother!" "I'll be damned!" "How are you?" "He's alive!" "Come on." "He's my brother." "We haven't seen him in ages." "We're back in favour?" "They came from London with me." "Where's Mother?" "She was just here." "Mother!" "Welcome." "You were just passing by?" "Boys, don't run near the house." "You don't know them." "Say hello to your uncle." "I'll go and shower." "He's happy deep down." "A drink?" "Juice, if you have any." "How did you get here?" "With a girlfriend." " Where is she?" " Outside." "Go and get her." "Juice, for Baptiste the Rebel." "Seen Emmanuelle?" "No, I just got here." "Emmanuelle!" "Your favourite brother's back!" "Check the cars." "Too bad Dad isn't here." "Yeah, too bad." "Your dad's in Monaco." "He had a red one like that." "Do you like Porsches, Mom?" "I had a pal who had one." "We did controlled skids in the Pyrenees." "Are you hungry?" "Yeah." "Who are his family?" "Are they rich?" "It looks like it." "I thank God for letting me live to see this moment." "I couldn't find you." "I gave up the master bedroom." "This one suits me better." "Sit down." "You were always too tall." "When I saw you just now," "I thought it was your father." "When I first met him." "Are you well, Mother?" "Better." "I saw you've had the roof redone." "You noticed that?" "I've aged, haven't I?" "I was ill this winter." "I have to swim." "So we had the pool renovated." "Swimming bores me." "You know, when people ask me about you," "I say you live in Sweden and that stops the questions." "In Sweden?" "It's what I came up with." "But what hurts me is that you gave Madeleine news and not us." "Such a distant cousin, we never saw her." "Precisely." "I met her by chance in Lyon." "She told everyone about it." "Are you happy?" "One hears that teaching is so hard in France." "I've been lucky with the jobs I've had." "Is that corduroy?" "Will you stay for lunch?" "Sundays can be tiring with the kids running and shouting." "The parents won't control them." " It's him." " Stop it." "He suffered when he died, you know." "But I was cowardly." "I need money." "That's why you're here..." "I need 50,000 euros." "I don't know." "You'll need to talk to Gilles." "He deals with all that." "Ask Gilles." "He's the one." "Hello, Baptiste." "Hello." "You have a friend waiting?" "I can fetch her." "Good idea." "Fetch your friend." "We'll add a place setting." "You'll stay for lunch." "That's settled." "Fetch his friend, Emmanuelle." "Her name's Sandra." "She has a child." " Yours?" " No." "Put the tables outside." "You can add 1O places on the sand to the left." "No, I'm not coming back." "I'll call from Spain." "I'm a mess." "Gotta go." "Bye." "Hello." "Were you with my brother yesterday?" "Yes." "I thought it was him." "Sometimes I imagine I see him." "Where did you sleep?" "A couple of miles away." "We have 1O bedrooms." "Will you have lunch with us?" "We'll grab a bite somewhere." "Hi." "What's your name?" "Mathias!" "He asked me to fetch you." "I'll ride with you." "What is this shit?" "I'll introduce you to some new friends." " She wanted us to come." " That's good." "Sure this is a good day?" "There are 12 of us." "I feel ugly, badly dressed..." "I feel ignorant." "They're the ignorant ones." "I don't want to eat with them." " Eat with us." " With you." "Wash your hands." "We're having crayfish." "I'll take him." "Where are you from?" "Whose child is that?" "Across the Garonne?" "Yes." "Our father bought them..." "How long ago?" "It's half an hour on foot?" "Do the grounds run to the road?" "No, further." "To the Raisin?" "woods." "We're selling a field there." "Where do you live?" "With his dad in Le Vigan." " A village?" " A small town." "Mathias is my pupil." "I'm a schoolteacher." "Sandra, you live in..." "I'm in catering." "Remember my brother?" "Espinosa." "Jean-Pierre." "From Higher Maths." "Yes, I remember him very well." "You were ahead of him." "He spoke a lot about you." "You met up in Paris, right?" "On the university's top rowing team." "I forget now." " How is he?" " Well." "I'll tell him I saw you." "He's at Stanford for a master's in aeronautics." "Did you know?" "No." "You didn't want to carry on?" "No." " You dropped everything?" " Yes." "With such promise?" "Baptiste noticed we've redone the roof." "As one of the best..." "Can you shut your woman up?" "It was his decision." "It wasn't like that." "I didn't understand what I was doing anymore." "I'd become stupid." "I'd hand in blank pages." "It had become absurd." "Physics, aeronautics, rowing..." "I was judged to be a disappointment." "A guilty secret." "So a family meeting was held..." "And they had me committed." "For how long?" "7 months and 25 days." "A long time." "Yes, a long time." "Thomas, your friends are bored." "After that, I was allowed out." "I could go to buy cigarettes, newspapers..." "There's a race in the next village." "People from all over." "Interested?" "This is the first time that Baptiste has been back to this house." "This is a big event for us." "Thank you for bringing him back to us." "Where do you work?" "On the beach." "In Maguelone." "Gilles will get beaten." "Like on Sundays..." "Emmanuelle!" "Thanks." "Want it in the living room?" "No..." "That's kind of you." "The cr?" "me anglaise was good." "Was there vanilla in it?" "I don't know." "We have it delivered." "They don't care about organic here." "So you're in catering?" "My brother has a restaurant in Mont-de-Marsan." "Look at this thing..." "Lend me a hand?" "Thanks." "I can do the silver if you want." "We've relocated the company." "We sold the Toulouse offices to move to Labastide-Beauvoir." "Thomas runs a new production site in Scotland." "We should be listed on the stock market within 2 years." "If you read the notary's letter, you know 15% of all that is yours." "So I can advance you 50,000 euros." "Contact the trust officer and he'll explain how you earn the dividends." "That's right, pal." "Get used to it, you're rich." "There's real estate in Marseilles but we sold the woods here." "The trees were sick." "Dad wanted that." "Why bury him in Carcassonne?" "That was what he wanted." "To be near his mother." "We waited for you." "Yes." "You couldn't make it?" "Don't say you all missed me." "We thought you were still angry with us." "You're divorced then?" "The ten-year hurdle." "Give me the money later." "Where are you going?" "Give your nephews dictation." "They need it." "When do we leave?" "Not having fun with them?" "They're all cousins." "They have bedrooms." "They're all staying here." "Did you call dad?" "What does "committed" mean?" "When someone's freedom is taken away." " We have to go." " Thank you, Liliane." "Come back soon." "Thank you for a lovely day." "See you soon." "Goodbye." "Kiss the children for me." "They've pinched my hairdryer." "Surely he doesn't love Baptiste like a father?" "What?" "We'll serve a warm consomm?" "at 7." "Sorry." "My son has school tomorrow." "Mine too then." "He must be a good teacher." "Yes." "We only met recently." "You're very pretty, Sandra." "You have a lovely figure." "So you don't have custody of Mathias..." "I'm having him back." "I had four children without really knowing why." "My husband wanted that many." "The family, his sons..." "Above all Baptiste." "You have just one child." "Take care of him." "Did you visit him while he was committed?" "Yes." "Only I did." "What could we do?" "I don't know if we were right." "My husband could be violent." "It was no fun going there." "It was far from Toulouse." "The back of beyond." "St Jean de Chalosse." "He'd sit watching sitcoms with other inmates." "Then, one Sunday, he left." "Is it Sunday today?" "We left him." "He lived on the streets." "And then... at one point, I told myself he was dead." "It was as if he was dead." "Some parents have dead children, don't they?" "Baptiste!" "Leave me alone!" "Baptiste!" "Come home right now!" "Just look at yourself!" "Look at you!" "You stink!" "Leave me alone!" "Leave me be!" "I thought you'd killed him." "He should have left me alone." "That's not what makes me angry." "Not one letter." "Never any news." "I thought of you every day." "I'm here." "Too late." "Who are those two with you?" "Are they so interesting?" "Mother wants us all in the study." "You don't have to come." "But you do." "You need money." "Are these all my schools?" "You stopped at Roanne." "That was the year he died." "He did the map with me." "We followed you." "It's me." "Where are you?" "This house is so big..." "It's ages since I spoke to you." "Yeah." "Yes." " Lemonade?" " Mine's all gone." "Don't get it everywhere." "Thank you." "Sir." "Thank you, sir." "Thank you, Franklin." "For you." "They're at the airport." "There's a 3-hour wait for London." "They arrive at Gatwick at midnight, then 3O miles to the city centre." "I think it's all there." "Call it an advance on what I mentioned." "No." "I don't want the rest." "You don't want it?" "Is Baptiste here?" "Why's that child still around?" "Let me get this right..." "You don't want your share?" "No." "You just want to travel from town to town as a supply teacher?" "Yes." "Why not?" "Teaching others who know nothing yet, is that contemptible?" "Yes, I can stay a teacher or go back to astrophysics or open a chip van..." "What do you care?" "That's a waste of life!" "I should've left with the others." "What's your life?" "A hotel room?" "A bank?" "I'll keep on making money." "So screw you!" "No one refuses an inheritance!" "Is it a pose?" "Who do you think you are?" "You're no saint." "You're not a terrorist." "You're surprised?" "You were born here too." "It's a phase." "You want to preach to us?" "Humiliate us?" "He should've stayed in the nuthouse." "Since he says he's happy..." "Your place is here, Baptiste." "We made mistakes." "All of us." "That's behind us now." "You have to stay." "No, Mother." "It took me too long to be elsewhere." "With what you know, what you've studied, you could do so much!" "And that woman..." "What is she?" "I've talked to her." "She's endearing." "You've helped her." "You were right to." "But don't tell me your life is with her." "I won't believe you." "Thanks." "Baptiste, wait." "You can do what you want with money." "All it takes is imagination." "It won't burn your fingers." "You can't know how you'll feel, who you'll be, in 5 years, in 1 O years." "Do you PFW?" "Badly." "There's a stream back there." "I thought there was a spring." "It's beautiful here." "I won't come back." "The spring's further away." "I've wrecked my sandals." "You'll never have seen me well dressed." "I've had a nice day." "And you?" "I have what you need." "Would you like to be rich?" "I refused something you might have liked." "If I'd run after money, I wouldn't be where I am now." "The Porsche is leaving." "They've served the consomm?" "." "I spent so much time in these woods." "Shall we leave?" "I hate driving at night." "What's up, you layabout?" "Where were you?" "You're here?" "I'll finish the month." "Make me a coffee?" "You decided that alone?" "Yeah." "What would you do without me?" "Those two guys never came back." "Is this mine?" "Yes, it's yours." "Let them come." "Any bookings?" "Not a lot." "Where were you?" "What happened?" "I've met a guy." "Put the cutlery on the napkins to hold them down."
