- Thank you, Francois. - See you tomorrow, Mr. Ménard.
- See you tomorrow.
- Shall I take you to the office, Mr. Ménard? - Yes.
Yes.
- Yes?
- Alright... Fine.
- My wife needs the car. - Of course, Mr. Ménard.
- I'm going to walk.
- I like to walk sometimes. - Walking is good for you.
- If we all walked for one hour each day, the world would be better.
- Oh yes?
- Mr. Ménard!
- It might rain tonight. - Thank you, that's thoughtful.
- It's nothing. - Still, thoughtful.
- Would you please enter your code?
- madam?
- No, I'll take the other one. It's not too late?
- Of course, I'll cancel the transaction.
Ah, I'll just take both!
I'm sorry, Mrs. Ménard, I could not park closer.
- Stop at a cash machine. - Of course, madam.
Over there, there is one.
- No, on the other side, so I won't have to cross.
- 10 meters more would be exhausting.
- Justine!
- Yes?
- Will you help us set the table? - I'm coming!
- What are we having?
- A lovely salad and some potatoes for your dad.
- Good evening! - We were just talking about you.
- And what were you saying ?
- Bye, sir! Bye, madam! - Bye, Mel! You come early tomorrow?
- Yes, madam. - Bye, Justine. - See you, Mel.
- I bought you a sweater.
- That's nice.
- Sorry, dear, you can't pull it off.
- I'll just pull the sleeves up.
- Maybe for the countryside.
- Let's go this week end! - No!
- We never use that house.
- We have it. That's what matters.
- May I leave the table?
- Are you going to read a little?
- I don't know, I would just like to go to my room.
- Reading is important for your studies.
- Makes no difference for women.
- Good night, dad. - Good night, dear.
- Good night, mom.
- Good night. I'm going, too.
- I feel that Justine is a bit down at the moment.
- She is upset because she thinks she has small breasts.
- Really? She looks fine.
- 39! - What is "yue"?
- I don't know, but it exists.
- You never believe me.
- I thought we were supposed to know the words.
- Can you use a word if you don't know what it means?
- You're an amateur. - Not at all.
- "Cantonese". - You'll learn quickly.
- We'll finish tomorrow, I'm going to bed.
- You shouldn't. - You think?
- I'm certain.
- Poor honey, you're tired.
- Not at all.
- Do you want your pills? - I'm fine
- Are you sleeping?
- I worked all night.
- Yes, I know, I saw.
- I'm making coffee, do you want some? - I don't want to disturb you.
- A hug would have been nice.
- Stop it.
- Could you move your thing?
- I didn't know I was living with a nerd.
- I'm going to wake up the kids.
- Is my tie ok?
- Of course, it was me who chose it. - I mean, is it straight?
- Let me see. Yes, perfect.
- It was you who taught me how to tie it.
- And now you do it better than me.
- Still, I liked it when you did it.
- Shall we lunch togehter?
- I'm promised my friends. It's Thursday, you know.
- Well, if you promised and it's Thursday... See you tonight then.
- See you tonight.
- Excuse me.
- Take it, it's fine. - Thank you, Mr. Ménard.
- Yes? No, I can't talk right now. I'm working.
- Go ahead, I'm not listening.
- Well, I'm sorry, I can't think about it every morning.
- Check the pockets of my trousers. See you tonight.
- I'm sorry about this.
- My wife was looking for money for the groceries.
- Well, I say my "wife",
but we are not married.
- The usual, Mr. Ménard? - Yes.
- No! Wait a moment.
- What are you doing?
- Nothing, I'm waiting for you, Mr. Ménard. - Richard!
- Would you like to have lunch with me? - Yes.
- Let's go then!
- The usual, but for two. - Very well, sir.
- Is that alright? - Yes.
- It's funny how old couples are sitting
side by side. Mostly because they can't stand looking at each other.
- 30 years with the same woman will do that to you!
- Yes, that's not our case... - No.
- Richard. - Yes, sir?
- What do you think of Mrs. Ménard?
- Me? - Yes.
- Nothing. Well, nothing...
- Surely you must have an opinion. - Yes.
- But .. she's very good, Mr. Ménard.
- Beautiful woman, don't you think? - Very beautiful.
- We make a lovely couple, no?
- A great couple, yes.
- Forgive me for confiding this to you...
- How do I put it?
Mrs. Ménard and I ...
And I belive this was her idea...
We don't sleep well together. We bother each other.
One is reading, the other one not.
One is moving, the other one not.
So we sleep apart, from time to time.
And "from time to time" becomes "all the time".
The first year was very, very...
very hard.
Very, very quiet.
Dead quiet.
After that, I stopped thinking about it.
But now, I'm thinking about it again.
I can tell you... And forgive me for being crass...
My life is completely deprived of sex.
- There is nothing to forgive. I'd say I even understand you.
- I made a few subtle attempts,
but...
Well, I ..
I don't know what to do anymore, or what to think.
Look, Mr. Ménard...
With all the respect to Mrs. Ménard...
She's like all the others. Yours, mine, they all enjoy our cash.
I've never thought about that.
You never think about it because they make sure you don't.
They won't give you the slightest hint. It's evil.
Never thought about it this way.
Richard!
- There is a woman looking at me.
- Yes?
- Or you perhaps? - Wait.
- Let's see.
- It's you.
- Oh wow.
- Are you flattered? - Well, yes.
- For once someone is looking at me!
- It's a hooker.
- You can tell right away.
- How do you know that? - You can tell.
- Why is she not looking at you?
- I'm not the one signing checks.
- They can sense that? - Well...
- If she's looking at me, she must be a hooker.
- I didn't say that.
- Yes, you just said it.
- That one is a hooker, the others not.
- The others? The ones that are not looking at me ?
- I'm just trying to make you see.
- You're too nice, people see it right away.
- What does your wife do for you? Who brings home the bacon?
- What do they think? It's a little too easy.
Take mine, we've been together for 5 years. Everything was going fine.
She doesn't work, I don't ask anything of her, just to be nice.
I'm raising her kids like my own.
6 months ago, she decided to start writing.
To do something with her life, as she says.
But she has that life thanks to me!
Now, she writes, day and night.
Even on Sunday! Every moment...
- It's like you - over.
And when I want to go to bed, she has to write again.
She says the night inspires her.
And what am I to do? I am exhausted, so I just fall asleep.
Because guess who has to get up early in the morning?
- They owe us at least that much, don't even doubt that.
- Cut off the cash supply, and you'll see.
- Here you go, gentlemen.
- You scared me. - It's just me.
- What are you doing here ?
- I ate too much. I shouldn't eat so much.
If you lose weight, you'll look 10 years older.
- Odile! - What?
- You don't think that... from time to time...
..we could...
- We could what? Say it already. - No, nothing.
Good night.
- Do you need your pills? - No, I'm fine.
- Hello, Mr. Ménard.
- Hello, Michèle.
- Hello. - Hello, Iris.
- Jacqueline!
- Hello, Mr. Ménard. - Don't put any calls through.
- Of course. Not even...
- None. - Very well.
- It'll just be 2 minutes.
- Hello, Mrs. Ménard.
Someone stole my cards and cheque books.
- Did someone steal them or you lost them?
- Stolen, lost, the result is the same. What should I do?
- You should report it.
- To whom? - To the police, honey.
- I have other things to do! Do you have some cash to help me out?
- And hurry up, my taxi is waiting! - I have nothing on me.
- But I can't go around all day without money!
It's a disaster.
- What should I do? I can't do anything. - Well, you don't have to..
spend money all the time. - And how will I manage?
- But we have everything we need, you are not missing anything!
- Look, I have to go, I have appointments all day. - Me too, I also have them all day!
- Off you go then! - But I can't!
- Hairdresser, beauty parlor... These things are not for free!
- Then cancel your apponitments.
- You're acting weird. Are you enjoying this?
- No, not at all.
- Do you have money issues?
- Not at all!
- You scared me for a moment.. I thought..
- Thought what? - I don't know.
- That business wasn't going well.
- Would that bother you?
- Yes, of course I'd be worried for you.
- And for you as well?
- Yes...
- It has been at least 2 years that you didn't come here.
- I didn't want to disturb you. - You never disturb me.
- At the beginning, you were coming here all the time.
- It excited you.
- This was a long time ago, - True, what a pity...
- You're not very nice to me.
- You're not taking care of me...
...like before
- No sex, no cash.
- What did you say?
No sex,
..no cash
That's what I said.
- Well, excuse me for still wanting you!
- I'm sorry!
- Can I help you? - I'm fine.
- First class, please.
- It doesn't exist for the past 20 years.
- Oh, really? - So everyone is in the same carriage?
- Do you want something, madam? - I want nothing.
- It's ok, madam? - It's ok, Mel, it's ok.
- l'm not in a good form, but it's ok.
- What are we having? - How should I know?
- Good evening.
- Good evening, dear.
Bye, sir, bye, madam. - Goodbye, Mel.
- I come early tomorrow? - Of course.
- Bye, Justine. - Ciao, Mel.
- Are you sulking?
- No, why? Should I?
- I don't know, you're not saying anything. - And what would you like to hear?
- I don't know.
- How your day went.
-Does that interest you? - Yes, very.
- Did you have a good day? - Very, and you?
- Very good, too. - Perfect then.
- Let's go!
- No cheese, no desert.
- We brush our teeth and go straight to bed.
- What's the matter with her?
- It will pass.
- Oh, I have guests!
- Come on in! Would you like to take a bath?
- You're shaving at night? - To be soft!
- What are you playing at?
- Nothing, I'm not playing at all.
- So you were serious?
- Very serious.
- Shall I remind you what this is called? A blackmail!
- Here we go with the big words.
- Look, we are a couple, no?
It's normal to have intercourse.
- It's smoking area here now?
- Your mother needs a drink.
- Your father will explain it to you when you are 18.
- Hello, dear! What a lovely surprise!
- I'm very glad. I was already wondering...
...if you'd visit me tonight. Seriously, you could have waited.
- It's not like you have to do it. - Enough. Don't make it worse.
- Come!
- What are you doing? - I'm removing my pyjamas.
- You're not joining me?
- Can I have 2 minutes? - Yes, take your time.
- Go on, help yourself, if that's what you want.
- But just so you know, I'll shut my eyes and wait for it to be over.
- Have you been drinking? - Yes.
- Seriously? You needed a drink for that? - Everyone copes the way they can.
- Let me at least have that.
- Come on, go ahead. Let's get it over with.
- Oh, no, no! That's not what I want.
I want a real woman who takes care of me,
who shows enthusiasm, passion and pleasure.
- Passion and pleasure you'll have to do without.
- Enthusiasm I can fake, I'm used to it after all.
- You'll pay dearly for that.
- Jean-Pierre?
- Have you seen your father? - He has just left.
- What is it?
- Nothing. Won't you be late?
- No.
- Good morning, madam.
- Do you want a cup of tea? - Yes, yes...
- It's incredible, Richard. She didn't even complain!
-It's normal. What did I tell you ?
- Thank you, Richard, really. - You're welcome, Mr. Ménard.
- No, no, no, no.
- Enough with the "mister". Call me Jean-Pierre.
- As you wish, Mr. Ménard.
- Come on, come on! - It's not easy!
- You are my boss after all. - I know, but it shouldn't matter.
- Fine...
- Alright...
- Feeling better now, Jean-Pierre? - Yes, much better! And you?
- You're lucky. Mine is tougher nut to crack.
- Why? Didn't it work for you? - It's a bit more complicated.
- My wife has ambitions.
- Oh yeah? Does it matter? - Yes, it does.
- Nevertheless, it's nice to have a friend.
- Bye, madam, bye, Justine.
- Bye, Mel. You come early tomorrow?
Yes, madam.
- There is a woman for you, madam.
- A what for who?
- Hello.
- Caroline.
- I'm a bit early, the babysitter was available sooner.
- Yes?
- Choucroute (sausages and cabbage) and beer!
- Where shall I put this?
- Where shall he put that?
- What's with this dinner? This attitude?
- What attitude? Do you have to make a scene because I invited a friend over?
- It's not a friend! It's your driver! Poor darling, you've completely gone off the rails!
- For once we're having fun.
- It's true though.
- Richard speaks about you all the time.
- Caroline this, Caroline that... But he never says what you do.
- Maybe you're not doing anything.
I've never really worked,
and 6 months ago I decided that it was time to do something with my life.
- I had always wanted to write, so I started to write.
- Why are you smiling?
- I wasn't smiling.
- Yes, you were, and it wasn't very nice. - It's true, Richard.
- You were smiling.
- But..
- I just meant that nobody needs it.
It's funny, you never encourage me. And you should be enjoying it.
- Enjoying it? What do I get from it?
- That it makes me happy.
- I don't need your writing to be happy.
- Well, I do.
- My wife is also a gifted writer. You should see her filling out the cheques.
- What about you? Do you work?
- Oh no, no.
- But I dreamed of becoming a designer when I was young.
- One could even say you stayed in the profession.
- Except you're not designing the dresses, you're buying them!
- For me, this has always been my dream. I've always wanted to write.
Good for you!
- If I manage to make a living out of it, I'll be happy.
- Good for you. - Stop saying "good for you".
- What should I say ?
- Now that you write, you will also teach me how to talk?
- Do you even have a dream? - A dream?
- I don't know, I need to think, can't answer just like that...
- Do you have one? - Oh, yes, I do.
- I big one, even.
- I know his dream. He wanted to become a judo champion.
- He didn't tell you? - I don't talk about myself at work.
- He was competing when he was young and even getting medals.
- Were you getting gold medals, Richard?
- Not realy... I was doing that...
...just for the sake of it. - The whole point of competing
is becoming a champion. If you're not it in to win it, it's wasted time.
- And what is it that you do? Richard never really told me.
- I run a business. - What kind of business?
- All kinds.
- He sells, he buys, he sells, he buys.
I never really understood it, but it pays well, right?
- Yes, quite. - And you Richard?
- Do you like being a driver? Does he treat you well?
- Yes... He's quite nice, I can't complain.
- It must be nice, spending all day in the car.
- Really, it sounds great.
- Not much worse than shopping all day. - Very true... I'm starting to get tired of it.
- Do keep me posted how that develops. - You'll be the first to know. Richard!
- A little bubbly? - No, thank you.
- Yes, a little bubbly! You must! Not like we have anything to celebrate.
Look, I have nothing to celebrate..
and still I drink!
What's on the menu after the pork knuckle? Stinky cheese?
- I'll be back.
- You're stronger than anyone else.
You have dreams, and I don't I'm an ass.
- Odile, I ask you to stop this right now. - But why?
- I'm getting ready for my party later.
Because when your friends leave, my night won't be over.
- That's when my life will begin. My real life!
- Calm down.
- I added everything up today. - Added what up?
Everything you owe me
for the 3 years that I'm hosting you.
- But we live together.
- Yes, we've been living together for 3 years and don't even pay rent.
- I do other things.
- Really, like what? - Well...
- Cleaning, groceries, dinners...
- Dinners, that's good. Let's talk about that.
- Two tomatoes and a piece of cheese. You call that a dinner?
- Anyway, our rent is 640 euros per month
divided by 2, multiplied by 12 and then 3
makes 11 520 euros.
- You find this funny. I don't.
- I've been paying your rent for 3 years, so to me it's not funny at all.
- When we met you had already been living there! You didn't change a thing for me.
- Yes, not a thing. Just moved my furniture a bit to make make room for you...
- And my children. - Yes, and your children.
- Shall I charge you for the blowjobs?
- Let's talk about that as well! Because since took up writing...
- Give me that, I... - Do not touch me ! Do not touch me!
- It's not your time yet. Maniac!
- Calm down, Odile, please. Calm down!
- It's just that right now I have other worries than sleeping with you.
- Because sleeping with me is a worry?
- Effectively, yes... - How so?
- Because you're claiming it. - I'm not claiming, I'm asking...
- And the more you ask, the less I want it.
- You've been writing for 6 months, and we had 5 sexual intercourses.
- You're exagerrating. - No!
- I know it. - I noted it down.
- You're taking notes now? - Yes, you see?
You wirte, I take notes.
Notes, calculations...
- I feel like I'm nothing but a cash machine.
- Does his wife know? - Not at all.
- We have to talk to her, so that she knows who you really are!
- Calm down, Odile, calm down! - No ! For once we're having fun!
- I'm asking you to calm down!
- My husbands took my credit cards...
..because he finds that we do not make love often enough.
- Well, you know how it goes; people meet, start talking,
fall in love, get married, and then..
Time passes.
With some men you just lose the desire to... you know.
- I don't think our guests are interested in your sex life.
- "My" sex life? - Yes.
- You mean "our" sex life?
- If my memory serves me well, you need two people.
- Provided that you turn each other on.
- Because, dear, if don't wan't it with you, it's because I am bored.
- It wasn't always like that. - Oh no!
- I have always faked, Jean-Pierre. Always. Even at the beginning.
- And you've always had trouble getting a hard on. He didn't tell you that?
- Try getting a hard on when you have a log in your bed! A log!
- I knew people who didn't complain.
- You find this funny? - Yes, we all had a life before.
- Yes... Before...
- I had this amazing lover, what was his name?
- Ah, yes ! André.
- I called him André the Patient.
- And why Patient? - He knew how to do it.
He took his time with a lot of patience.
- André the Patient. - André...
- You should have married him then, the Patient. - I would have like that but...
... he was already married.
Don't you worry, dear, it was way before you and I met.
- I don't even know what became of him.
- Shall we move on to the desert?
- I need a strong man.
- I said a strong man.
- You go, because...
Two glasses and she can't control herself.
- Would you give me a hand, Richard? The cake seems to be stuck in the box.
- There.
- Have you been working out?
- Yes, I don't like leting myself go.
Yes, judo fighters must have beautiful torsos.
Firm torsos.
Oh look, it is firm indeed.
It must be so good...
Jean-Pierre is all soft. He's a big fake... jelly.
He takes and he takes, but doesn't have a lot to give.
- A little kiss?
- You make me uncomfortable, Mrs. Ménard. - Come on!
- Just a little kiss. A little kiss!
- Just a little one.
- Yes, but first a little banknote.
- Miser! Miser!
- What shall I do with this? - Whatever you want.
- I'm so horny!
I want it, I want it! Come, come, come!
- I'll give you the blowjob of your life. Unzip your pants.
- Let me park first! - Hurry up, I want it now!
- Hurry up! Hurry!
- It will be the best blowjob in the world!
- There.
- You believed me? You believed I was going to suck you?
- Well, yes.
See, this is exactly what I am not going to do!
- I don't want to fake it or force myself. Ever.
- Where are you going ? - Leave me alone!
- What's wrong with you?
- That's it, go to hell! Go to hell!
- Won't get far on what you earn.
- Come, I need cash.
- What are you doing?
- Stop it, you're making a fool of yourself. I'm tired of it.
- Be careful what you wish for. Come here!
- Come!
- Give me back my card or I'll call the police!
- Go on, sweetie, call them! - I am not your sweetie!
- Give me back my Golden Card!
- You're crazy ! Calm down !
- Go ahead, hit me! Hit me!
- I have never hit a woman, leave alone an alcoholic! - You bastard!
- How can you say that? Bastard! - Stop it!
- It's not what I want. - What do you want then?
- I want you to love me.
- Love you? On top of everything else you now want me to love you?
- You poor thing, I've been faking it for 10 years now.
- This is ridiculous. You shouldn't have. You looked happy.
- Happy? I don't even know what it means anymore. Especially with you!
- You don't think it's humiliating for me?
- Having to blackmail you for some tenderness. - Tenderness?
- You call that tenderness?
- If this is a joke, it's a good one!
- What tenderness are you talking about? I can't stand you anymore!
- You're making noises, when you eat, when you sleep...
- You stink, you burp, you fart!
- Is that the image you have of me?
- At least that much is clear.
- I thought you still loved me a little.
- Give your money to another woman.
- For me, it's over.
- If you think I am going to let you sleep here after that, you are very wrong.
- Get out of my bed, come on! Get the fuck out!
- Damn you, this is my place, Get out!
- It's my place as well!
- It's also my place!
- Oh really? - Yes!
- Your place? - Yeah!
- Well, look what I'm doing to your place!
- Look ! Look!
- You're insane !
- You're strong, very strong ! Oh yes, he has the muscles!
- You know what these muscles are saying to you? - What? I'm waiting!
- Get out or it's you who's going through there!
- Get the fuck out. - I'll go if I want.
- Go to hell and hurry!
- Bitch!
- What are you waiting for?
- Nothing... Mr. Ménard.
- Did I ask you something? No. So, let's go.
- As you wish.
- Where are we going?
- When I say right you turn right, when I say left you turn left. It's not hard.
- No.
- Yes? I can't now.
- I'm not alone.
- With Mrs. Ménard.
- It's going to be difficult, Mr. Ménard.
- Alright.
- It's Mr. Ménard, he wants you to get out.
- She doesn't want to.
- Really?
- Alright.
- Please, Mrs. Ménard, it would be easier for me if you stepped out yourself.
- Be kind, step out, I need to work.
- Do not touch me! Do not touch me! Hands off!
- Mr. Ménard, it's not going to be possible.
- Alright.
- How are you, mate? - All good, and you, mate? I mean... Mr. Ménard.
- Everything will soon go back to normal.
- Go on, do your shopping with empty pockets.
- We wait and then we go back. - Alright.
- Where to? - I'll explain.
- Sorry, Mel, no more money, finish, over.
- Bye bye... bye bye!
- I am perfectly bilingual, but she only understands pidgin.
- I had to tear down a wall to build this walk-in closet.
- I worked very hard to get her all this.
- She never lacked anything! Ever!
- She thinks she can spend my money and make fun of me at the same time.
- There... and there... and there!
- There, empty her bathroom.
- It's over there, come on!
- Perfumes too?
- Everything ! Go, go, go!
- No, wait, leave one. - Which one?
- Your choice! Wait, let me see.
- Let me smell it.
- No, trash it.
- Trash!
- Wait, this one!
- Yes, it's good. Good smell of a bourgeois,
of a spoiled brat like her! Something to remember the good old days by!
- I'll let you finish. I'm taking care of the accessories.
- What should I leave?
- Gloves, soap, toothbrush.
- Like at my place then.
- Come here!
Oh, there's more!
- This little jacket!
- Run, run!
- Shall I drive you to the office? - No, come on, we need to eat something.
- My treat then. - Certainly not.
- That's really classy. Can you do it again?
Give me that!
Too late!
- Bitch! - Asshole!
- Slut. - Faggot!
There's not much you still like about me.
I think it would be better if you left.
- If you think it's better this way. - Yes, I do.
Alright.
Go say goodbye to Richard.
- Let's play "Whatchulookinat?" - Alright, with pleasure.
So, tell me.
What you lookin' at, rascal?
Huh, what you lookin' at? Come on, what you lookin' at?
Give me a kiss and go to bed right now.
This instant.
Go to bed. Sleep well.
You're stupid! He just spanked me!
He spanked you?
What do you expect me to do? I have nowhere to go. You know it.
Yes..
Nowhere to go and acting like you own the place. Find a job, like everyone else.
- That's what I'm trying to do. - Oh no, no.
You don't want to work. You want to do as you please.
Do I do as I please?
- You don't love me anymore. - I didn't say that.
So why do you want me to leave?
Because you can't stand me anymore.
That's not true.. I love you but...
I just want to live out my dream. That's all.
I thought I was your dream.
Yes, it's you.
Who is your dream?
It's you.
Of course I would prefer if you stayed. You know that.
And how many times a week will we have to fuck...
...to pay my rent? - I don't know... 5 ?
5! That's a lot!
There's two of us, we're splitting rent and I'm paying half.
I'll only fuck half of the time.
- Fine, how about 4? - 3!
OK, 3.
Do I have to pay for my children as well?
No, not for the children.
- Thanks. - You're welcome.
How about we start now?
No, let's wait till Monday for a new week to start.
Come on!
- Take me! - What's going on?
The deposit.
- Come! - You twat.
I'm kidding! Come on, I want it!
- Are you serious or not? I don't know anymore.
Don't be silly, come.
I love you.
I love you, I need you.
Me too, I need you
- Is it true? - Of course, it's true.
I can also speak English, though I don't have a diploma.
I can do all sorts of jobs.
I have good communication skills and I know how to use a computer.
You studied Psychology and Law?
A year of Psychology, and a bit of Law... 2 years.
I worked at a lawyer's firm. A long time ago.
I stopped because..
..I wanted to do something else..
Then I got children.
A part time job would work best for me.
As soon as I have something, I'll call you back.
On my mobile.
- You're not here? Alright.
Well, listen. It's me...
And I wanted to tell you ...
That I love you, there.
I love you, I love you.
I love you.
See you tonight.
A peeling and a moisturizer. Thank you.
Here you go.
Thank you and goodbye.
Can I help you, Mrs. Ménard?
- Hello. - Helllo.
Mrs. Ménard, Richard doesn't know that I work here.
I'm going to leave him.
He doesn't know yet.
In two months I can rent an apartment. A small one, but it will be mine.
He could have encouraged me but no, he wouldn't
He blames me for it all.
He's not happy. He's not doing what he wanted to do.
So, he can't stand the fact that I am trying to do what I like.
Don't regret it later.
It will hurt a lot.
But I loved him, you know?
I was sure he was the love of my life.
I was wrong.
- Where are you going? - Why are you interested?
- Well, yes. - I'm sleeping at Mary's.
Dad knows, he told me he's fine with it.
- You could have at least told me. - Well, there you go.
This way.
May I take your coat?
You have a lighter?
My little bunny. You're shy, right?
Well, let's say I'm not use to...
Relax, it will be fine.
It's the first time that's why.
- You have champagne ? - Yes.
Champagne!
Shall we?
Whenever you're ready.. A moment...
How much did we say?
We said that.
Yes, that's right, well...
Yes, perfect! Perfect!
Perfect, perfect, perfect!
Yes, yes, yes, oh yes, yes, yes!
Harder! Harder!
Yes, yes, yes, oh yes, yes, yes! Yes! Yes!
Oh yes, oh yes!
Oh yes, yes! Ah! Ah! Ah!
A double vodka.
- Do you have a cigarette? - It's a non-smoking place.
- Here. - Thank you.
I have an issue with public authority.
Yes, I know, my face looks familiar to you. You think you've seen me somewhere.
I make that impression everywhere I go.
I must have a common face.
No, I find it charming.
Grégoire.
You have to encourage me here, or else...
No! I can't! I can't...
I'm sorry... I can't do it.
I can't do it.
It's ok.
- I think I made a mistake. - Mistakes are the best part of life.
Third floor may seem too high if you look from below, but it's fine.
Bedrooms are small, but each could have their own. They'll fight less.
Have you ever done something...
...really stupid that you regret a lot?
I do it all the time.
I have a good feeling about this. There's more space.
I'm in a lot of shit !
If we repaint everything, will you lower the rent?
I'll talk to the landlord.
It's nothing, I just said it like that.
Who would make the security deposit?
My friend, he is very well off.
I'll study your file and call you back.
- When? There's not much time. I want to make a surprise.
- During the week - Alright.
What should I do ?
Ask her for forgiveness and offer her a gift.
Gifts are always nice.
- Yes. - You have to spoil the one you love.
Hello.
Do you often fall asleep like that?
When things are bad.
What you must have thought of me!
A lot of bad things...
Don't worry.
Tee? Coffee? Champagne?
Tee.
Thank you.
I didn't want to wake you.
So I took several cold showers during the night.
I am sorry.
It's fine.
Tartine? Biscuit? Croissant?
That's really kind, but I have to go.
Of course. Someone is waiting. Someone's always waiting for a woman like you.
Me? There's nobody waiting. No one.
I must go.
That's fine... I will walk you back.
Yes.
Thank you.
In any case, this was very pleasant.
Really, very...
Even though, well...
It was really nice, it's been a long time since...
Anyway, I was delighted.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
You have a bit of black there.
- Where? - There.
You are very beautiful.
And also very married.
We all are, more or less. Well, less in my case.
-Isn't it too much? -That depends.
-On what ? -How big your big mistake was.
So it's not too much.
Mom?
Has Mel come back?
No, it's me, I want to surprise your mother.
- Cool! - Yes.
Cool.
That's weird.
When did you last see her?
I don't know.
- Are you OK, honey? - Yes, and you?
I'm great.
Good evening.
I am dining in my room. Are you joining me for a chat?
I'm so hungry!
Do you think there's a point in this?
I recall her calling you a jelly.
- When did she say that? - I don't know, long time ago.
Be more precise! It's really important!
Come on, just try to keep up.
- You can do it. - I can't, the road's going up.
- We're going uphill! - No, it's perfectly flat.
Where are you going now?
How am I supposed to keep up?
Suck it!
Winning feels good. Do you want a sip?
- No. - You're not thursty ?
No.
It's an energy drink.
- I'm not thursty. - Because you didn't give it your all.
There is...
There's something I wanted to ask you. It's embarassing.
But I have to ask you...
Could you help me with the security deposit for the apartment?
- Yes, of course. - Really?
Yes.
That's terribly kind of you! I have to call you Mr Ménard here.
Because one would think that you're.. You know?
What?
You don't finish your sentences half of the time.
Really? I haven't noticed.
Maybe it's true. Caroline already told me that...
Among other things she blamed me for.
But thank God she cooled down a lot.
She's much nicer to me now.
More available, like before.
I think we found a certain balance.
When she was writing...
...I thought she didn't love me anymore. - Let's go, my ass is all wet!
- It's a really ugly outfit. - You think so?
- Depends on who's wearing it. - No, even on you it's ugly.
The second time is always better.
- You want some? - No.
- You're not thursty? - No.
- Remember yesterday.. - Yes?
I forgot to give you your money back.
You spent it, I hope?
Wait.
Here.
- Here. - What's going on?
- Are you completely crazy? - Why?
I don't want your money!
This was a bad idea, I'm going.
- You're into hookers. - Not at all!
- I'm just sexing up my life. - Of course, you're sexing it up.
You took me for a hooker!
Not at all, I could see that you don't normally do it.
But... I'm not doing.. I'm not doing it at all!
- Come on, make an effort. - What does that even mean?
I like it this way.
Can you understand that?
Give me a break, I already have one insane person at home.
You're all mad!
Pleasuring a housewife is not my thing, come on.
Do you have to resent me for that? Come on, stay.
Leave me alone.
For me, it's the only way it works.
I like you.
I really like you.
There.
Better?
Are you happy?
Look... Imediate effect. Allez hop, let's go.
What?
It's not so bad.
You're gonna enjoy that money thinking about me,
I like that very much,
Everytime we see each other..
.. it will be exciting, amazing, you'll see.
- Life is not just about that. - I don't know anything better.
Good evening, dear.
Good evening.
Are you joining me in my room?
Evening.
Dad.
Are you going to divorce?
You're not writing anymore there days?
I do, a little bit.
I thought you were writing less.
Because I read it and I thought it was great.
Really?
You took an interest?
Well, yes.
And you liked it?
You could have asked me.
You should keep writing, you're going to succeed.
You've got talent.
The talent...
.. of a cunning bitch ! How long have you been bullshiting me?
I suspected she was up to something, but couldn't imagine her working.
Anyway, it doesn't interest you anymore.
Yes, it does. You wife is working, great! You'll spend less.
- She didn't tell me anything. - She was going to. Start the car!
- You think she was? - Go slowly.
- I'm wondering where she's going. - Maybe to work.
Damn!
What should we do?
2 tickets, please.
- Do you have change? - Do you have some?
- But the car is double-parked... - I don't take care, gimme the coins, now!
What a jerk, didn't even wait!
Can I buy your paper? Just the economics page.
Thanks.
I'm sorry, I can't do it
You too... Sexual!
You women are never happy.
Yes, we are complicated.
- You shouldn't have come then. - I wanted to be sure.
You don't want a woman living at your place, so I'm going.
- But you proposed 500 yourself. - I was in a bad place.
I couldn't see anything.
Now the price has gone up. It's much more expensive.
- Too expensive for you. - But I can pay!
I know, but you don't have it in the bank.
I need all or nothing.
Again this bullshit, I know it by heart!
Right, forget everything, we do it just like that.
- Just for pleasure. - Not interested in that either.
Come on, one last time.
Last time was the last time.
But I didn't know it!
Did you?
- Before? After? - During.
I said to myself: "See this man, making love to you?
Enjoy it, because it's the last time."
Women, goddamn them!
It will remain a good memory.
What an affair!
Are you alright?
I had a hyperventilation attack. It's the stress.
- How did it happen? - I was looking at my wife.
You scared me. I'm going to bring you back. Easy now.
I can walk on my own!
Odile's got someone.
- Who? - Who do you think? Some guy.
- A guy who doesn't look like anything. - What does he look like?
- Nothing, I just told you! The opposite of me.
- You need to remain calm, doctor's orders. - It was better when stayed at home.
Never saw anyone, went out only to shop some more.
It was convenient, I had my peace and quiet.
Life was normal... until you came with your bullshit advice!
Hang on, I didn't tell you to do anything, we were just talking.
What you made me do was filthy!
It's not my fault if you wife has a lover!
You're an idiot, Richard!
Ah, your wife has a lover and you call me an idiot.
Yes, and we are not buddies anymore.
Had you banged your wife better, it wouldn't have happened!
And if you'd earned more, yours wouldn't have worked!
- But you're the one paying me! - Yes, generously! Very generously!
If you want more cash, do something else!
I will, watch me.
There.
- I'm doing something else! - What?
That's it!
Drive the car yourself!
- I have other things to do in life! - Ah yes, like what?
- Judo? Cycling? You stupid cyclist!
Small dick! Mr. Ménard has a small dick!
Yours is not bigger!
Small dick!
Calm down! I don't have a license.
Asshole!
May I come in?
Thank you.
Are you moving?
No, it's Caroline.
She's gone.
It was the kids room. I liked them.
- You alright? - Yes.
I'm sorry. I don't have a living room.
You will have more space.
Yes.
Your place is not big. You must have bumped in other all the time.
Yes, I know it's small.
- How many rooms do you have? - Here's the kitchen.
There's the bedroom. 50 square metres in total.
My place is bigger, but not better.
- Were you counting your medals? - No, I was just cleaning up.
Is it you in the second place?
Yes, the second place is me.
Yes... Here as well. Also in the second place.
That's funny, here as well.
That's the fear.
I've always had the fear.
During practice I was the best but during competitions...
I'm sorry about earlier.
I'm sorry too.
Richard...
I feel miserable.
I know.
Me too, I'm... Miserable.
We're jerks.
Yes...
We really are jerks.
Your pyjamas are a little bit big.
It's you, you are small.
Yes...
I'm warning you, I snore.
That's allright, I snore too.
I was wondering if you'd come. You could have been busy.
- Would you like a coffee? - No, thank you.
9 women out of 10 who want a divorce
change their minds after meeting with a lawyer.
Yes...
Divorce, inevitably, makes you poorer.
So like you, they stay at home,
Trying to live with a husband they can't even look at anymore
or breathe the same air as him.
These women don't have a choice.
I want you to have a choice.
I want you to be able..
..to be happy without me.
So that you won't need me anymore.
I'm putting the apartment in your name.
And it's better if..
..Justine stays with you.
I belive you're very close.
There.
The bill please... oh!
No, leave it, leave it.
I was almost rich!
You mean a lot to me.
You do too.
