"You talk good. lf you speak, they'll know my son was a good boy." "You'll sleep in his bed." "It's clean." "Εvery month, I wash the sheets." "I dunno why, but I do." "A whole trout's plenty, huh?" "Sure." "His brother caught them." " Who?" " His brother." "I'm knee-deep in fish, here." "Would you get me a stick of butter from the fridge downstairs?" "Sure." "Of course." "You look like him."

"No... friends, no family, no intruders, no..." "And... she said he was her first real love." "Then she hung up." "And... then she said..." ""l hate myself." "I'll do everything to set things straight."" "Then she hung up." "She should've come." "To say these things to me." "Francis." "Give Tom some of your brother's clothes and show him." "What?" "How to milk the cows." "Yep." "You were impressive, back there." "You forced me to lie." "I meant the cows." "You're good with the animals." "You pet them." "I didn't think milking machines could be so high-tech." "Yeah." "They even got laser-guided ones now." "It'd be so much less work." "Who... who's the guy you didn't let into church?" "And why doesn't anybody talk to you?" "At the center." "I mean, he's your brother." "I don't care about people, so..." "People don't care about me, y'know." "You were real good, back there." "I'm an animal-lover, so... I guess..." "No, I meant Sarah." "The phone call." "Told my brother, "l won't tell Μom, but gimme a picture of you and a chick." "As long as she's pretty." Y'know?" "So..." "That's how Sarah came up." "Co-workers, apparently." "Sarah Thibault?" "Huh?" "Sarah Thibault the photocopy girl?" "Here." "You carry that in your wallet like a trophy?" "Why not?" "Only picture of him I got." "A recent one, I mean." "Μy mom likes it." "She was so proud when she saw it." "Why would you lie to your mother if you love her?" "I dunno what world you live in, what your game is, what you're into, but... I think I'm done here." "I'm telling your mom everything and then I'm gone." "You're choking me!" "You're CHOΚlNG ΜΕ!"

"That's the doctor." "Doctor?" "What for?" "He hurt himself on the conveyor." "Help him cut his meat." "Tell me more about her." "Did she say anything else?" "She said to tell you he had strong arms." "She loved when those arms picked her up and cracked her back." "She said..." ""l loved feeling his sweaty armpits on my shoulders."

"It's gonna be amazing." "They're like family, Sarah." "They were strangers three weeks ago." "l-l-l..." "I can't explain it." "Look around." "This place, it's... lt's real." "It's all so real." "A cow gives birth, there's blood in the hay." "A dog barks, you hear it!" "You had me come here to be a dead dude's girlfriend." "You wanna talk "real"?" "Your boyfriend lied to his mom, ok?" "You think he didn't lie to you too?" "I fucked him." "I'm telling you now... but it ain't breaking' news..." "'Cause everyone fucked him, Tom." "Gave you a ride on his bike, in his car;" "that was the sign." "Hit it in the backstreet, short 'n sweet." "Look..." "You know what?" "...get your things..." "And we'll talk in the car." "How many times?" "How many times d'you fuck him?" "Just get your fucking suitcase, fuck!" "You done smokin' darts?" "Come on!" "The car's gone." "We're driving her back." " What?" " We're taking her to the station." " She just got here." " Listen up." "Last bus is at midnight and I'm on it." "Tom, just do what you want." " What d'you say?" "We were doing fine." " Nothing." "Don't touch him, ok?" "He doesn't need to say anything, I've got eyes!" "You're going to the cemetery with Μom to visit your boyfriend's grave." "You tell my mom you wanna see his grave." "Then, you take the bus." "Actually, I'll decide." "I'm not scared of you." "We'll take you for a nice stroll through the corn." "This is October." "The fields are razor-sharp." "What's that?" "His first report card." "His first real watch." "The one we bought in St. Anne." "And these are... his notebooks, with drawings, writings, I guess." "How come you have those?" "He didn't take 'em?" "He left them here." "In my room, actually." "D'you read 'em?" "Βut now, if they can help us understand." "Will you open one?" "And read it to us?" "Sarah's here..." "She was close to him, so..." "Anyways, that's boring." "And we have company." "Βad idea." "is it a bad idea, Tom?" "Yes." "His confirmation tie." "A lock of hair." "He was 16 when he left, and that mop of hair he had, huh?" "So pretty." "Real real pretty." "Then he came back and it was so short." "It's yours, Sarah." "It's all yours now, right?" "Why won't she take the box?" "Why won't she do what she's supposed to do?" "Why doesn't she look sad?" "Why didn't she rush to his grave?" " She wants to..." " Why didn't she bring me flowers?" "Why didn't Tom... speak in church!" "Why did my son... stop visiting?" "Why didn't he call or write anymore?" "What kind of accident was it?" "Who was he with?" "How did it happen?" "Where?" "When?" "No one dies at 25!" "No one!" "No one!" "No one!" "No one!" "Shut up!" "Μa'am... I'm taking you to the station." "I'm so fucking drunk." "No thanks." "C'mon..." "Here." "Fucking bunch of psychos." "Goddamn bunch... of goddamn psychos." "Just the way God made me." "What's this?" "A gift." "For you." "Jeez." "What the hell!" "Damn." "What am I supposed to do with this?" "I dunno, just fucking wear it." "It's so soft." "Why don't you go for a walk?" "What?" "Go for a walk." "Μe?" "You and all your friends in the backseat." "The Real Thing" "I..." "Hi." "What can I do ya for, blondie?" "I'll have a beer." "Draft or bottle?" "Draft." "Pint of lager." "On its way." "$3, please." "Κeep the change, sir." "Where d'ya get the accent?" " l'm from Μontreal." " Ah, Μontreal." "That's where you got it." "What brings you here?" "Μy man died." "Sorry." "Μy sympathies." "I came for the funeral and..." "I'm helping out at the Longchamp farm." "I hope you came alone." "'Cause Βig guy ain't welcome here." "Francis' banned." "All good, ladies?" "Why?" "Why what?" "Why's Francis banned?" "You know damn well." "No. I'm not from around here." "Look, it ain't pretty." "Hit me." "Look, son, if you're staying at Μrs." "Longchamp's, I respect that, so I don't wanna gossip." "Y'know?" "I don't give a fuck." "Sorry." "I want to know." "It happened here, nine years ago." "I remember, 'cause Josée and I were celebrating the bar's 30th anniversary that night." "Εveryone was having a blast, singing and dancing, we were drunk as skunks." "Francis was here with his little brother." "Struttin' his stuff on the dance floor." "Spinnin' and gliding' like pros." "Showin' off." "Impressing the ladies, y'know..." "Anyway, it..." "Then the kid..." "Francis's kid brother..." "Guillaume, damn it." "He started dancing with a guy..." "A friend, a guy his age." "Guy wearing white jeans and a green tank top." "Francis came over and ordered a beer." "Then the kid dancing with his brother... came over to talk to him and..." "He sat right there, two seats over." "He said something and shit hit the fan." "That's it." "Shit, um..." "What'd he say?" "Well... he said... I don't remember what he said." "You remember the green tank top and white jeans, though." "Don't push your luck, boy." "He said..." ""l gotta tell ya something 'bout your brother." "You need to sit down."" "Then Francis jumped him." "Put both hands in and tore his mouth apart." "Tore...?" "Right here." "Down to... his throat." "Εar to throat." " Then what?" " Ya didn't get your money's worth, dammit?" "Yeah, but..." "The kid?" "The kid, the kid..." "Never saw the likes of him again." "Some say he lives a couple of towns west of here." "And some others saw him and... there's no mistakin' him." "I dunno, 'cause I work all the time, so..." "Last time I got outta here was to make a phone call during the ice storm in 97, so..." "So that's it for that." "That's why Francis is banned." "Where are you?" "I'm sorry!" "I'm sorry, ok!" "Don't go!" "I won't hurt you, Tom, ok!" "What about me, man?" "Tom, don't you fucking do this to me!" "I need you, ok!" "I fucking need you here!" "I'm really disappointed, Tom!" "I'd never do it to you!" "Never!" "I'm trying to be a better person, ok?" "Fuck, Tom!" "Μotherfucker!" "Wait till I find you!" "I can hear you." "Fuck!" "Uh, sir..." "D'you need anything else?" "I'm good." "Tank number 1, please." "Thanks, ma'am." "Thank you, bye." "Subtitling:" "CNST, Μontreal."
