My love to both of you. I�ll come see Dad as soon as I can. Bye, Mom.

Could you help me get the TV into the living room?

ls your Dad any better?

- No, he's not. - Damn.

ls that your Monday pill?

- Today's Tuesday. - You're right, I forgot it.

ls that all you can say, you forgot?

Relax, I�ll take 2. I do it all the time.

Ok, but in 9 months you'll have a kid.

Don't worry, I know what I�m doing.

I�ll try it over there.

What?

Why'd you let my mother go home alone?

Nonsense. I offered to take her home.

My father's ill, you let her go alone. That's not nice.

I�ll try it there.

Back to our room. This is no good.

Don't lie, she said you didn't.

You let her go home in the cold.

She said I wouldn't take her?

Yes, and you let her go home in the cold.

It�s not that cold out!

No reason to leave her alone at night.

It was 4 p.m, she's a big girl.

- Enough! �She's a big girl�! - For Chrissake!

When you have a problem, everyone's supposed to worry.

I offered to take her home!

- That's not true. - It�s so.

So you don't believe me?

I offered to take her. Yes, I did.

My mother tried to show she accepts you,

and you won't take her home!

I�m sorry, but that wasn't clear.

- Next time I�ll take her. - Okay, next time!

What's the matter?

- Don't touch me! - What if I want to?

I don't want you to touch me.

What is it, a fever?

Your touch makes me sick.

I feel like I�m talking to a wall.

It�s as if you were invisible. Your touch makes me sick.

- I�ll call. What's her number? - What?

Give me her phone number!

What's going on? I want to know if you made it up...

- What's the matter? - Kiss me. Get lost.

You okay?

Exhausted?

- What's the matter? - Nothing.

Where are you going?

Sorry.

- How about a drink? - No, thanks.

Still with Francois?

�May, whew!�

He sent me my things and there was a slut's red panties!

- Who did? - francois.

You're ready for a constructive relationship.

It�s as if the city were empty and we were the only two alive.

- I have no choice. - How's it with Serge?

Like with Francois, but he's not Francois.

Where will your clients hang their coats?

You're right.

Patients, not clients.

Don't you feel something jabbing at you?

How can they do their transference and counter-transference

with a spring in their back?

There are ten-thousand. it's a real trampoline!

Michelle, this is work. Please stop.

Are there guys who come and don't open their mouth?

Why say such a thing? You nuts?

You give me the jitters!

I just know he'll lounge on my nice, clean couch,

say nothing, and never return!

Don't be silly. It�s him! My first patient!

- Wish me luck. - Break a leg!

- I�ll run into him and thank him. - No, go upstairs.

- I�ll smile at him. - Go upstairs.

Michelle! Michelle... Come back here!

Hold on.

Stand back.

- How do you do? - An appointment with Ms. Delabrune.

That's me.

Ms. Leveque!

You, here? Your session is Sat. at 6 p.m.

- Thank you. - Thank you, goodbye.

This way, please.

Hi, there. How are you?

- Sorry I�m late. - It�s okay.

Sorry, I didn't see you.

- I�m glad to see you. - So am I.

- How are you? - Fine. Sorry, this is Cecile.

This is Michelle, and old friend.

Please to meet you. Serge... Francois. Francois is a very, very old friend.

- Hello. - Nice to meet you.

- Going to see �Shoah�? - No, not at all. Why?

- This is the line. - Yes, we are going to �Shoah�.

No way. We're not going to see �Shoah�.

We're not?

We're seeing the Godard.

Not that. It�s supposed to be awful.

Valerie said it was great.

- I�m not watching �Shoah�. - Wasn't that what we said?

- lsn't it good? - Sure, it's very good. But it's very long, real depressing.

That's the sort of thing you usually like.

- You call �Shoah� a �sort of thing�? - You going to lecture me?

What'll it be, Serge?

- I�m seeing �Shoah�. - Me, Godard.

Let's all see �Shoah�, then eat.

We're not changing plans for you.

What's wrong, Michelle?

We said we'd see the Godard, so I�m seeing the Godard.

- Good luck. - Why?

- Because it lasts over 8 hours. - 8 hours?

What's wrong , you got amnesia?

You're thinking of someone else. I saw �Shoah�.

So long.

- I�m seeing the Godard. - Michelle...

Where you going? Cecele!

- Mind if I come with you? - Not at all.

Been together long?

- What? - Nothing.

- What, Francois and me? - What? Francois and me?

I wondered if you'd been together long.

Just two weeks.

So it's brand new.

I see.

How'd you meet? Sorry, I�m being nosey.

ln lsrael.

You visited his parents in lsrael?

No, we met in lsrael. At the beach. I was on vacation.

I see. Nothing like vacation.

We came back together.

I see.

And what religion are you?

- Jewish. - What?

- Jewish, why? - I see.

- Not staying? - No, it's too boring.

- Valerie must've been high. - ls Cecile still there?

- Not waiting for your boyfriend? - No, tell him I left.

I�m not sure I�ll be here.

You go to classes with him now?

- Very funny. - What'd the rabbi say?

He asked if I�d continue.

- What'd you say? - I had to think it over.

- Have you? - Why? Does that change anything?

- Your father better? - He's surviving.

Give him my love.

- Going to Valerie's party? - I don't know.

Come. She'd be glad. She's a bit depressed.

Anyhow, it's a masquerade.

�June 4, It�s a masquerade: asshole!�

What's she doing?

Boy, you've got a ways to go.

Get up, or else you'll get dizzy.

- Have a little self-respect. - She's going to her room.

Go have an affair, I�m no terrorist. But not in front of me.

That was a slip.

A slip is with words.

Not with flesh-and-blood human beings. You need the couch, not me.

- I go 3 times a week. - It doesn't look like it.

Where you going?

I can't take any more. What's wrong?

I feel awful. And I regret everything I did.

lf he's trying to make me...

lf he's tryin to make me jealous...

I�d understand. But that's not it.

- That's exactly it. - No, it's not.

- He'd throw me out of his place. - Let's go.

Sorry, but no way!

The hell with him! I�d be the first to ditch him.

I hope so.

Anyhow, we're not together.

Finally an intelligent word.

I was next to him and we kissed, that's all.

For hours!

How long have you wanted him?

I don't want him. We just kissed.

Sure! Smooching but no sex!

- lf you hadn't been there... - I�m no idiot!

Stay with him, I don't care. I can be alone.

But seeing your disappointed mug makes me want to puke.

I�m not disappointed.

I�m sorry.

Didn't he say he had someone?

- Jessica? - It�s no big deal.

A month ago it was my living room, my kitchen,

my dog Bruce. Now it's over.

No, it's not.

He made it up because he felt bad about kissing me.

- That girl doesn't exist. - She does for me.

It�s a frigment of his imagination. I�m sorry. He kissed me and made up a girl.

You heard him say he was mad about her.

That's rule number one, pal. It was a lie.

- She's a blonde beauty. I can see her! - Would you shut up!

Hello. Francois home?

No, he's... Michelle?

ls it that obvious?

Pleased to meet you. This is Ali, a friend.

We came by to pick up a book.

- �A Tortured Life�. - No, �An lnterrupted Life�.

I read it, but...

It must be on the shelf.

- It�s Francois' book? - No, it's mine.

No, problem.

- You read it? - Long ago.

Okay, it's a deal.

I�ll tell my friend to call. She really needs pictures.

No problem. Okay, bye.

I�ll invite you to my show next year.

Okay. See you soon.

Hold on, don't move.

- We're in a hurry. - Just a sec. The light's great.

- One last photo. - One last. Do I sit down?

Over here.

Just a sec. Look that way.

Like that.

No smile. Empty your mind.

Sorry, just one more. Great. Thanks.

- I�ll send them to you. - Great.

- I�ll tell Francois you came. - Don't bother.

I was sure I had one!

We used the whole box?

Not a rubber in this room, that's for sure!

ln here?

- I lost the key. - Penetration isn't everything!

I know where there's one.

Bingo!

No room for error.

- Weird, it's green. - ls it old?

I�m not putting that on.

- Can you go get some bread? - No, I can't.

I don't want your opinion.

- But Mom, I can't. - Can you tell me why?

Because Ali's crying.

What's the matter with him?

I just told him it's over.

I didn't know you were together.

No one ever tells me anything in this house!

Why'd you say that?

- You okay? - Yes, ma'am.

You'll stay for dinner anyway, won't you?

He'll stay.

Why'd you say it was over?

How else could I tell you?

But we just began.

I�m sorry.

I don't get it...

I don't get it, Michelle.

Would you please make the bed?

Don't wear yourself out.

Why don't you ever talk about my father?

There's nothing to say. It�s in the past.

- I�m interested in the past. - The past is passed.

Was he Jewish by any chance?

Was he Jewish or not?

�Last night I went walking in the forest.�

�I keep thinking about Francois.�

�I�m trying to get over something, to get over him.�

�lf only someone would take my hand and guide me.�

�Oh Lord, take me by the hand. I will follow you without resistance.�

Come on.

[ Skipped item nr. 1253 ]

Let's go.

�To our father�

�6 months later You were my only love�

Newlyweds, look this way!

Smile.

Great!

Long live the bride!

You sure this isn't a mistake?

- You think it's a mistake? - No, do you?

No...

The priest's creating a doubt.

- It�s a sign. - I don't like that guy!

The priest just called.

A little mishap, he drove into a ditch.

He's dead.

No, he's not. I just had him on the phone.

Anything I ever did or said was not against you.

Against who, then?

Against no one. Maybe myself.

You're in analysis? With Valerie?

No, I�m not in analysis.

- Cut it out. - What?

I�m terribly attached to you.

- That's not nice. - Why?

- Because you hurt me. - You hurt me, too.

Sure.

Shall we look for a solution?

A solution to what? There's no problem.

But couldn't we find a half-way solution?

Half-way?

Like what?

lf I sit here...

And you let me hold you...

You sure?

There, it's simple. We met half-way.

It�s simple...

Not at all unsettling.

I don't want a compromise, Francois.

I lost you, but accept the fact you lost me.

- It�s over, that's how it is. - That's sad.

Sure, it's sad.

- Nothing to be done? - No, nothing at all.

ls it too late? No, it's not too late.

What game are you playing?

Aren't you with someone?

Remember when we celebrated Yom Kippur?

- Cut it out. - What?

You can't hound me with that forever.

Why not? It was funny.

No, it wasn't.

What's wrong, doesn't Jessica mess up?

- So you're bored, you miss it? - Yes, I miss it.

What're you doing after the wedding?

After the wedding?

What're you doing? Wait. What're you doing? Stay.

What are you now? Maoist, Protestant, Buddhist?

I�m Burgundian.

I�m Burgundian.

That's fantastic!

- How many chicks have you had? - I have no one.

- What? Did Jessica dump you? - It�s over.

- What about the babe at the movies? - I�m not with anyone.

Let's go home together after?

You leaving, it's over?

Give me a ride home. Florence...

- You don't believe in anything. - I believe in you.

- You don't believe in God, in love... - I said, I believe in you.

- Like a houseplant. - I believe in you.

Like a houseplant.

- What do we do? - Say yes, darling.

- What do we do? - Say yes to everything.

Michelle?

Michelle...

What?

Did you do it on purpose?
