"I'm not perfect, but at least I know when I'm not wanted." "We didn't want to bother you." "I'm sorry." "We'll clear out." "Wait." "No, don't worry, I understand." "What if I offered you a job?" "Nothing complicated." "You'd help me out, do errands, phone calls." "You'd earn a bit of money." "Janine, I'll make it up to you 100 times over" "OK, put on your best clothes, we'll start now." "This is pretty much my winning outfit." "A green, a Provencal green, very luminous, to highlight this painting, which is quite magnificent." "Yes, I think that would work." "For the drapes, we have lots of choices." "I brought you some samples." "I dunno, I could see something semi-transparent," "Floor-length." "It would be way glamorous lt's just an idea." "What color do you suggest?" "I don't know, maybe a kind of orange, nothing too harsh." "Kind of like this, a yellowish-orange, but not too intense." "Hello" "Hi, how are you, love?"

"In my new car, you bet." "A car, wow" "My darling little sister." "You're sweet to take in Michele and Marguerite." "Unlike you." " A quick game of cards?" " Great idea." "is she still a casino regular?" "What do you mean?" " Lucien" " What?" "I'm not a fool." "I know you still gamble." "That's Estelle, my dad's mom." "Our grandma."

"I'll declare myself a single mom for the family allowance." "You can't anymore, you have a girlfriend." "I have to admit, Michele's as messy as any man." " Shall we play?" " Yeah, come on" "Mom'll never let me." "It's simple, you look her in the eye and say," ""Don't worry, I won't be home late."" "She'll never let me." "The trick is, you can't look away, not for a second." "What about your clothes?" "Are you sure?" "They look better on you than on me." "She'll never let me." "Don't forget." "You look her straight in the eye and say..." "Don't worry, Mommy, I won't be late." "Mom, not Mommy." "Mom" "What?" "Forget it, just drop it." "It's 'cause, Olivier invited us to a friend's." "That's nice of Olivier." "Can we?" "We won't be home late." "Why not invite them here?" "It's not the same." "If it's close by, I'm OK with it." "Super" "Go change." "Don't worry, I won't be late." "You look vulgar." "So, are we going?" "Boys, take care of the girls now." "And no drinking" "Can I come to the party too?" "Wear the dress I bought for your birthday."

"Shit, the light's on." "One phone call" "Just one call" ""Hi, I know it's late, but don't worry, we're coming."" "It's 4:00 a.m." "We looked everywhere for you." "What were you thinking?" "Do you know what I was thinking?" "Attacked, kidnapped, raped, hit by a car..." "A mother's worst nightmares" "You have nothing to say?" "You don't care" "What's this?" "You're hurting me."

"Michele..." "Why doesn't she stay at her mom's?" "It would be more normal." "Showing up uninvited like some mangy stray." "infesting the place like rats." "How vulgar." " Michele's become very vulgar." " Mom" "Why do you accept it?" "What difference does it make to you?" "How would it look if I refused?" "We grew up together." "And Marguerite is your granddaughter, remember." "Poor Francis." "Having her wasn't his idea." "Stop protecting him, your little angel." "He was asking for it." "After all, he is responsible for his s... situation." "Can't a mom and daughter even talk?" "Why don't we check the antiques?" "Maybe we'll find your bench." "Goodbye, thank you." "I got everything I made you run all over." "A present." "Thanks for the job." "No, you shouldn't have." "I insist." "Really." "It's my pleasure." "Open it" "Wow, it's lovely." "Not bad, huh?" "Gab thinks maybe I have mono." "You have been looking pale." "But if you had mono, you'd be flat on your back." "It must be hormones." "It's normal at your age, it'll pass." "I had a feeling you'd like it." "It has... lt's very sweet, thank you." "But please, no more gifts." "You need to save so you can leave." "For California." "We're in no rush." "We're so happy here."

"Sometimes I ask myself why I stay with Charles, my phantom husband." "I think your setup's pretty alright." "You're never together to bicker." "Or do anything, if you see what I mean." "Take a lover." "No, don't be stupid, Janine." "I'm tired of depending on someone," "and always wondering what he does on his trips." "OK, let's switch identities for fun." "Janine:" "single mother with no income, no fixed residence, forced to squat at her friend's until she has the cash to go remake her life in California." "You know, it sure sounds good to me... having my own home, sitting in my own kitchen, choosing the right color... raspberry red or cranberry red." "Speaking of decorating..." "This is the piece for Mrs Pepin." "Show it to her." "If she likes it, buy it." "This is the dealer in Montreal." "But careful, he closes at 5." "You pay him cash, no taxes." "Got that?" "Would you mind babysitting tonight?" "Of course not, I'd be glad to." "Ask for Dr Leclerc." "Jean-Claude, Grandma's friend." "You know the one?" "Here, take a taxi home." "Will you be OK on your own?" "I'm not 4 anymore." "Mom" "It's not my role to lecture you." "But you and your boyfriend should've been careful." "You're pregnant." "No way. I've never made love, not once lt happens, Marguerite." "You're not the first 14-year-old girl to have sex." " But condoms..." " Stuff your condoms I've never made love or even come close, understand?" "And I'm in no hurry." "Couldn't it be mono?" "You're of legal age to make your own decision." "But you're still a young adolescent." "I can refer you to an abortion clinic." "The staff is very competent." "But you should talk it over with your mom first." "Marguerite" "Come on, baby" "Thanks again." "It's to celebrate having met." "Thank you." "In this heat, maybe some sangria in the garden would be nice." "I love folk art." "It exaggerates expressions that we don't dare show in life." "Does she live nearby?" "A six-hour flight from here, in England." "Like the rest of my family." "Do you miss them?" "A lot." "But love..." "My daughter, Anaiiis." "Do you have children?" "Yes." "Two." "She's very sociable." "No, it's been so long, I wouldn't want..." " Are you alright?" " Yes lt's the sangria, I..." "Where's the bathroom?" "On the right." "You had kids young." "Today you have a fascinating job." "I can't wait to work again." "I'm used to a lifestyle that's more..." "And my husband who's never there." "I have no time for myself." "But that doesn't stop me from wanting another." "Does your husband?" "Not now." "But I've thought about giving him a big surprise." "No" "I don't want to judge you." "You're so young." "Everything's still possible." "Absent husbands..." "Believe me, I know." "Michele, don't waste your money on the machines." "There's a poker game in back tonight." " We're short a man." " Sorry, I can't." "Sure you can." "We're not pro's, the ante's $5." "Thanks, I have to go home." "Come on, Michele." "1 1 :00." "Forget it." "I've never made love in my life." "To any guy or girl." "Or any... guinea pig" "To anyone I swear to god and spit on it" "Yuck, you spat on Rosalie" "Stop, she's clean enough." "You'll drown her." "Here, take this." "It may sound corny but... the first time, I want it to be special." "With the man of my life" "Maybe not my whole life, but a boyfriend I've dated a long time." "We have to be deeply in love." "I'd hate it to be just anyone." "Maybe you're an angel." "Whatever." "Did you take religion in school?" "Because?" "Well, like the Virgin, Jesus's mother." "Maybe it's true if we still talk about it after 2000 years." "Yeah, right." "What's that make you, the Virgin Margot?" "Yeah." "Great timing." "How are you?" "Fine." "Where were you?" "Did you leave the kids alone?" "I didn't notice the time." "Besides, they're not kids anymore." "Shoot, this isn't how I raised them" "They're teenagers" "How you raise your girl is your business, Michele." "But when you're responsible for my children, I expect a modicum of responsibility." "Not kids?" "Alexandre's only 8" "What if there'd been an accident?" "Come on Janine" "Relax, everything's cool." "Hello, my darling." "Aren't you a little too close?" "No." ""How the virgin became pregnant."" ""The Songs of Paradise."" "That sounds good." "Gross" "Young virgin knocked up and nailed." "Excellent" "FREE PORN FREE ANAL videos" "Hello, darling." "What are you up to?" "Not much." "Well, you see... lt's because someone sent us the link." "But it's dumb, the site is..." "Yeah, it's really dumb." "It's totally gross." "I swear, we didn't do it on purpose." "It's not our fault" "You" "Don't touch her" "No Internet in this house until I say so." "Go to bed" " l'm turning it off." " Gabrielle" "She didn't chat about penises before your daughter arrived." "Maybe it was time she did." "Mom?" "How did the Virgin Mary have Jesus?" "I mean, how'd she conceive if she was a virgin?" "Interested in religion now?" "You said it was stupid." "Gaby's putting ideas in your head." "I'm surprised you go for it." "What are you doing?" "I can't sleep, I'm going out." "See you, sweetie." "I see your 10 and raise you 5." "I call." "Ray, this must be worth 400 bucks." " Come on, Michele" " No, look..." "How much?" "We'll play more another time." "Ray... $100." "Thank you" "OK, let's go." "Good Lord" "You're not in bed?" "Insomnia." "I shouldn't have blamed you for the Internet." "I should've stayed here." "Michele, what are you doing?" "I'm a wreck." "My head's spinning." "Your cigarette" "Scott called last night." "He's looking for you." "Your mom told him you're here." "Of course." "He wants his money." "I said I didn't know where you were." "Janine" "He said to tell you to take care." "Look, Janine, I wanted to say..." "Thank you." "Thank you, Janine." "Take two aspirin and lots of water." "Hello, this is a message for Charles." "Actually, I'm not sure I have the right number." "But anyway..." "Charles, I just wanted to tell you, I really enjoyed our time together the other day." "I've thought about you ever since." "I'm being direct and sincere." "I'm waiting for you." "Yes, hello?" "Mrs Pepin Hello, how are you?" "OK, time to let out your inner demons." "Aerobox ls this a bad time?" "Mrs Pepin says she paid cash." "She didn't get her bench." "That's a big sum to forget." "I didn't say you could sit." " l needed it." " What?" "It's temporary, a loan." "I'll pay you in a few days." " Lie to others, but not me." " l was in a bind." "I'm not naive. I know you." "You're irresponsible, you've no respect for others." "You have no morals." "You'd rob your mother for a game of cards." "And your daughter and yourself, if you could" "Easy, you control freak" "Who are you to preach at me?" "Maybe you haven't noticed, but you're all alone." "No husband, your kids mock you." " You've no friends." " Aside from you, you sponge" "You're frustrated." "You know what?" "You resent my freedom." "You're afraid of me 'cause I have guts" "I never want to see you again" "Anyway, Margot, it's just as well that we left." "Uptight people like that freak me out." "Californians are way more laid back." "What'll we live on?" "We'll need gas to get there." "Don't worry, it's all planned." "I already have a job lined up." "Chloe's going to be so happy to see us l have a bit of money if it helps." "You're sweet, but everything's under control." "How about a video game?" "Video arcade games suck." "I'm going to pee." "What's your problem I want my cash" "Shh, I can feel the jackpot coming" "Bye, I'm going to hitchhike back." "I hope a pervert picks me up and..." "sodomizes me" "Hello, Margot?" " Grandpa" " Where are you?" "It's Mom, she's been swallowed up by a video poker machine." "See if there's anything good on the radio." "Are you going to sulk much longer?" "Margot, lighten up." "I'll pay you back." "No wonder Dad didn't want to be with you." "Well, anyway, I want you to know, that I wanted you." "Ever wonder what I want?" "A handsome boyfriend, stretch jeans, new CDs, and lots of love." "All I want, Mom, is real simple... I don't want to be like you." "It's that one." "It's a mess inside, I use it mostly to store tools." "That's my toy." "Lucien, I can't thank you enough." "I'm glad to help this time, especially for the kid." "But get a grip on yourself." "You're worth more than that." "It's ridiculous." "Your daughter deserves better than that." "Come on, come see." "Margot, come see" "You've never slept with a girl?" "No, it's just..." "What if I'm too nervous, if I come too fast..." "Worried about premature ejaculation?" "Rophies are the thing." "What's that?" "Rohypnol." "It stops you from coming?" "No, it makes you forget everything." "It's the size of an aspirin." "You ball a girl, and the next day she's forgotten." "Takes the stress out." "Yeah, right" " Hi." " Gaby" "Little ladybug I thought we could go visit Margot at the campground." "Olivier, since you're the only one with a car, I thought..." "Great idea." "Not now." "Sorry, I have a date." "Did you put rophies in my juice?" "What?" "Ro... rohypnol." "Get real." "Maybe that happened to Margot." "The night she passed out." "I don't get it." "Sure, at the club."

"Look, I'm truly sorry about what's happening." "I never understood why my dad has a trailer in that dump." "But anyway, Gabrielle can't talk to you right now." "She's restructuring her life." "She needs to spend time alone, without visitors or calls." "So have a nice day, and enjoy the lovely weather." "Bye" "It's for your own good, dear." "Shouldn't you practise the piano?" "Marguerite is pregnant." "Pardon?" "Marguerite is pregnant." "It's not surprising." "She's as irresponsible as her mom." "Do you understand now, dear?" "Do you see?" "It's for your own good." "We have to help." "Mind your own business." "is that clear?" "Ladybug's dreaming of her boyfriend" "Leave me alone" "You're dumb, you're vulgar, and a pest" "I'd never choose her as my mom."

"Hitler" "Mom, tell him to stop Lock him away or something" "Mom, tell him to stop" "Mom, are you alright?" "How long have you spied on me?" "What gives you the right?" "What about me?" "What does that make me?" "Your plaything?" "Your doll?" "You can't control me anymore I have a boyfriend now." "You didn't know that, did you?" "And you know what?" "You can't do anything about it" "And one day I'll make love with him." "Me..." "Your daughter" "I'm fed up, you controlling me." "I'm fed up living with you" "Gabrielle, come here" "Since retiring, all your dad does is make a mess." "I have to spend my life cleaning up after him." "Can we drop by the esthetician later?" "Have you tried her new cream?" "It's done wonders for my hands." "Look" "I can't fathom why people insist on having pets." "They stink, they're dirty, they're noisy." "This is so much better." "All of their beauty and none of the disadvantages." "I don't know how you put up with that furry beast of Gaby's." "She hates me." "The perfect reason to get rid of it." "I read her diary." "I had no idea I was such an awful mother." "I don't know my own daughter." "She calls me Hitler." "You do have a little moustache."

"My baby" "Get a hold of yourself" "Don't let her walk on you" "Gaby's been influenced by Michele and Margot." "I told you not to take in those two airheads." "Take my advice." "Be firm with Gaby or you'll find her with a needle in her arm." "I can't handle it anymore." "I'm losing it, I've hit rock bottom, I need help, Mom." "Come now." "Come on, Janine." "I raised you to have more grit." "If I'd given in to my emotions at your age, your brother and you wouldn't have these advantages." "We'd have had real problems then." "Come on." "A bit of shopping will pick you up." "Come on." "Mom?" "It'll pass." "Believe me." "Come on." "Tips aren't included." "Have an excellent day, sir" "Howdy, neighbor Two hotdogs and a fries please." "Keep going, take it all off" "Where's my mother?" "Some posit that every experience is worth living." "Do you agree?" "It must be hard for a woman with your brains and drive, to find herself in such abject circumstances." "Do you have to teach philosophy to spout this crap?" "And with your daughter, too." "Michele, I've got $100." "What do you offer me?" "To tell your wife I sucked you off." "Sucked me?" "By you" "That's worth more than $100." "$200?" "Go to hell" "$300?" "If you go to the casino tonight with $300, you'll leave with how much?" "Twice that?" "Three times?" "Michele, you do want to get Margot out of here?"

"Keep going" "Do it for yourself, for your daughter." "Hello, darling." "You sure have a gift for fucking up." "Did you come here to preach?" "I came to see Margot, not you." "She won't talk to me." "But who'd want to talk, living in a shithole like this?" "She didn't deserve it, especially not in her condition." "She will have an abortion?" "I went to see Jean-Claude for my hormones." "He was worried." "He hadn't heard from her." "He blurted it out." "He thought I knew." "He's right, I should have known, don't you think?" "So I pretended I did know." "You're taking hormones?" "How's Jean-Claude?" "Michele, really" "Couldn't you have told me?" "I mean, I'm your mother I guess we don't choose our mom." "Funny, that's exactly what Margot told me." "Michele, come on" "Mimi" "What's going on?" "It'll be OK, darling." " l'm sorry." " That's alright." "It'll be OK." "I'm sorry, Beatrice." "Charles isn't himself, he works too hard." "We'll take a vacation soon." "I should be going." "It's late, my kids are waiting." "I got my first pay waitressing." "It's just part of the money I st... that I owe you." "Margot... I want you to know... I know my life's a mess, I know you deserve a way better mother than me," "but you're the most precious thing I have." "I love you." "I love you." "I love you."
