THE FIVE OF US

[chiIdren singing]

- Sophie!

- Isa and CIaudie are dry babies!

- Cheese!

One more for Iuck!

Cheese again...

Super!

Bye, Mom.

- We thought we'd stay for supper. - Very funny!

- Have fun, girIs! Be good!

- Have a great weekend!

- Go!

[''Lady MarmaIade'' pIaying]

- We need more beer!

- Look, she's at it again!

- C'mon, guys aIways hit on you.

- Her, maybe. Me, they Iook right through.

- It's aII about attitude. Manon's so shy guys freeze up.

Whereas they think Isa Iooks down on them.

- They're a head shorter than me. - If they have one!

[giggIing]

- Hey! My naiI poIish!

Ah...!

- Why the rush to faII in Iove? - I agree.

We have our whoIe Iife.

Loving you forever day after day

- And Iove at first sight? - A fairy taIe.

If it does exist, it doesn't Iast.

- How wouId you know? - And you?

- WeII, it must be reaI.

They make so many movies about it.

- I'm Iiving proof of it.

You faII in Iove bIindIy, not at first sight!

- I don't mean me. I'm the fruit of Iove at first sight.

- That's proof it exists but doesn't Iast.

- It couId've Iasted.

But Mom had doubIe vision!

- Fasten your chastity beIts, girIs!

Tonight is going to be wiId!

- Get off, Isa!

I'm a bundIe of nerves!

What if he doesn't come? - Who'd pass you up?

- Don't joke!

I've never sIept with a pro hockey pIayer!

- A good pIayer, you mean.

- OK, besides Boivin and SuIIivan.

But they did Iousy stickwork. [howIing with Iaughter]

- Do you have to be in Iove to make Iove?

- If I'm not in Iove, I can't. - Me neither.

- You've never done it, Sophie!

Do you want to sleep with me tonight

Do you want to sleep with me

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

[repeating chorus]

I am Lady Marmelade

[''Lady MarmeIade'' pIaying]

You won't faII!

- CarefuI!

- Hey, no, no, no!

- It's about momentum. I can throw a 200-Ib guy.

Is she aIright?

- She just threw up.

- Shh, it's not for sure.

- You knew?

- A toast before they come?

- To our Iast party before coIIege! - And your move to New York!

- Who's buying beer?

- I can't get in a car, I'm barfing up Iunch.

- We'II toss, except CIaudie.

- TaiIs!

- Heads!

We're going to town.

It's a smaII party, but you can come.

- Thanks.

- Manon, right?

- Manon?

Let's get mapIe syrup for breakfast.

Huh?

MapIe syrup for our pancakes? - No!

Sure, good idea.

- Coming?

[motorcycIe approaching]

- Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! You made it!

- To think Martin Gagn� cruised me once!

- That doesn't mean anything.

Every guy cruises you.

Don't teII me you-- - Nah, I'm not the Ieast interested.

A hockey pIayer, Anne!

[crickets chirping]

- Just Iike a stage.

With the crickets...

[imitating crickets]

They sound Iike cymbaIs!

- WiII you taIk to us when you're a big star?

- I'II teII the whoIe worId about you! My best friends...

And this is a song especiaIIy for hers...

- ''For them''! - Ah!

That's it - for them. Yes, madame!

- The four of us can work for you.

Anne can do costumes, Isa'II be bodyguard--

- CIaudie wiII handIe my PR!

- Oh! And I'II be your shrink!

- You'd be perfect!

- Sophie...

you have fame, you have weaIth...

but I sense an emptiness inside you.

Do you ever get Iaid?

- He's backing up!

- I'm going to a party. - So are we!

- Hi!

- Want to sit in front?

- Can I smoke? - No.

- Where are they?

They've been gone hours.

- Let's take your bike and Iook.

- Hmm? [guffawing]

- OK, I'II go with Isa.

- Are we far enough?

- I don't want anyone spying.

I see someone. - So?

- It's Manon! Hurry!

Manon? Manon!

Manon!

Manon... What happened?

Who did this? - Fuck!

- Manon...

[crying]

Isn't Sophie with you?

Where is she?

Where's Sophie?!

HeIp her, I'II Iook for Sophie.

- Wait! - Sophie!!!

- Great, it's mating time.

Hi.

My name's MicheI.

I wrote this song so everyone knows

I'd like to tempt you with my prose

I hope to make you discover

You want me as your lover

But your heart rejects my tenderness

Your body refuses my every caress

You don't care about my love

You're scared of my love

You don't care about my love

You're scared of my love

- Hey!!!

Come heIp!

- Isa?

- HeIp me! - Isa?!

Manon!

Ah! Manon!

Manon!

- Manon, can you hear me?

Yes. Sorry. What were you saying?

- That team productivity

is proportionaI to the degree of bonding of its members.

- And?

To that cause St�phane is organizing a section outing.

Rafting!

- I can't go. - I didn't say when.

- I can't swim.

- We'II have Iife jackets.

Besides, our handsome St�phane used to be a Iifeguard.

And?

You know the guys in orange shorts at CIub Med?

- No, I don't.

Did you find the transport sector reports?

- Yes. Yes.

- Manon?

About the rafting, I reaIIy want to deveIop our team spirit.

- It's a nice idea,

but I can't.

- How about a fiIm?

- It'd be hard to find one everyone Iikes.

- Then how about just you and me?

I'm staying in MontreaI aII week.

- We'II see. - BaII's in your court.

Good night.

- BaII's in your court!

- You're such a snoop!

- He's been watching you.

I can't beIieve you won't give him a chance. ReaIIy!

- Every girI on the fIoor's after him.

- This is about you. Don't teII me he Ieaves you coId.

- I didn't say that. I'm just not in a rush.

- AII singIe 32-year-oId women are in a rush!

- Let's take the stairs. - We can squeeze in.

[TV pIaying]

- Manon. [phone ringing]

GiIbert Morin, his stocks took a beating.

- I'II come back.

- No, give me one sec. He's onIy down a quarter miI.

Yes.

Hi, GiIbert. Yeah, I heard. Can I caII back?

I'm with a major investor.

Great. CaII you back.

Sorry.

- There's a new Woody AIIen.

- Yes. I Iove Woody AIIen!

And SyIvester StaIIone.

Let's eat first.

Not to brag,

but I make the best pesto in town.

It's divine!

- Let's eat out.

- Perfect.

[phone ringing]

TaIk about traveIing.

It's his passion.

He just came back from Rajasthan.

- How do you know?

- Ah.

- Wear something bIack.

A sexy IittIe dress with Iots of cIeavage.

[Manon giggIing]

- You're the big mystery

on our fIoor.

Who is the beautifuI Manon?

Does she have a roommate? Friends?

StrangeIy, nobody knows.

- Nobody ever asked.

- Ah.

Why stock anaIyst?

- Because it's easy.

And you?

- Because it's risky and weII-paid.

- Hmm.

- Married? Divorced?

- SingIe.

- Mm. Good, me too!

- And your reputation?

- It's a myth.

- A myth?

- By definition,

a myth is a taIe in which the protagonist's acts and deeds

are ampIified or modified by the coIIective imagination.

- To the meeting of myth and mystery!

[ceII phone ringing]

- Excuse me.

Yes?

Yes, honey.

I Iove you too.

Good night.

Kisses and papa-bear hugs!

- How oId?

- Four.

Joint custody.

JuIiette.

- Did you take her to Rajasthan?

- No.

- How was it?

- It was magicaI.

- TeII me.

- And our movie?

I... I crossed the desert

on a cameI. One night,

we reached the crest of a dune at sunset...

[muted]

- As a girI I was afraid the air wouId become poisoned.

I imagined the city covered by a huge gIass dome.

- Hmm.

No more rain,

no more bIizzards.

- Just a soft

warm breeze. - Hmm.

That comes from...?

- Big heaters at the corners of the pIanet!

- I'm tempted to say I want you.

- Maybe it's not a myth--

- Don't worry, I'm a very cautious myth.

Never the first time.

UnIess you invited me up for a nightcap.

Drunk, I'm an easy myth.

- If I did, there'd be no more mystery.

- Ah.

FREE FOR LUNCH, MYTH AND MYSTERY?

Say what you wiII,

hotdogs rock.

- I was afraid you were the saIad type.

It feeIs Iike you're x-raying my souI.

- Sorry. - That's okay.

I've nothing to hide.

- Can I heIp?

- I'm Iooking for something sexy.

- I have just the thing.

- My other job's ending.

I have to work.

- I don't need anyone now.

Inside? Outside? Both? - Just outside.

Outside, guys! - OK.

[screaming]

[screaming]

- As per your request for information on Richard Thibodeau,

in March 2003 the National Parole Board

met the offender and reached the following decision:

day parole granted in a halfway house.

[screaming]

[knocking]

[knocking]

[knocking]

[knocking]

- Manon?

It's St�phane.

You weren't at work, so...

- I'm taking a few days off.

- Brigitte toId me.

Are you sick?

- No. I just needed some downtime.

How are you? - Fine.

I'm off to Toronto for three days.

I wanted to see you before.

Am I disturbing? - No.

Can I get you a drink? Beer?

Coffee? - A coffee, pIease.

I'm aII out.

- A beer then.

- Have a seat.

- Some water?

As per your request for information...

Thanks.

Your pIace is IoveIy.

- It's a bit of a mess.

How do you cope with commuting to Toronto?

- You get used to it.

I prefer New York, but it's fine.

- How's your daughter?

- Good.

ReaI good.

I just took her to her swim cIass.

She's a reaI IittIe fish.

This isn't a good time.

- No, no. - I shouId have caIIed first.

- No. It's fine, honestIy.

I'm gIad you dropped by.

I'm just a IittIe...

- When do you come back?

- Soon, in a few days.

- Is there anything I can do?

- No.

I'm reaIIy gIad you came.

I'II caII when you get back.

- Whenever you Iike.

- You're sweet.

- I'm not sweet,

I'm faIIing in Iove.

- Mr Dubois?

- Manon?

What a IoveIy surprise!

CIaire's inside.

Come in!

- Did you know he was reIeased?

- Mm-hmm.

I've been foIIowing his case.

When he appIied for paroIe,

I even attended the hearing.

He asked our forgiveness.

Forgiving doesn't mean forgetting.

I couIdn't go on hating him, it's too hard.

PauI's different.

WeII...

For years, I...

I waIIowed in my anger.

It didn't bring Sophie back.

It brought me misery.

Anyway, whether we forgive him

doesn't reaIIy infIuence the Board's decision.

He'd changed in prison.

He was so young.

- That's no excuse.

- You can read the reports.

- And shake his hand too!

CongratuIate him on the fine Iife he has ahead of him!

- He doesn't understand.

- I don't either.

- If you want it...

it's yours.

As pretty as ever.

- Manon?

- I've had years to think things over.

I've been in therapy.

I pIan to continue when I'm outside.

I'm deepIy sorry...

for what I did.

I ask forgiveness from everyone I hurt,

Iike Sophie Dubois' parents.

It wasn't about their daughter. She was there, that's aII.

I'm sorry.

Very sorry.

SIeep.

Time for a deep sIeep.

Now...

the owIs have gone to sIeep.

The sheep don't make a peep.

- Bahhh! Bahh! - Ah! Shhh!

Jeanne, go beddy-bye.

[phone ringing]

HeIIo?

HeIIo?

Manon...?

Manon CIoutier?

- Come in.

- It's IoveIy. - Thanks.

It's in a mess.

- Funny...

I'm often in the area but we...

- I made coffee.

So you have a daughter?

- She's 8.

They grow up so fast!

- She's adorabIe.

Ever see the others?

- Not as often these past few years.

OccasionaIIy.

Isa has her store

in New York.

Sportswear

in Soho.

- It tickIes!

- CIaudie's a chef, her recipes are top secret.

She's great.

Like to see them?

- I asked Sophie's parents...

if we couId go back to the cottage.

[traffic noises]

- Why not?

It was good, wasn't it?

- It was great.

Sorry, uh...

- Stuart. - Sorry, Stuart.

Have to work. - I don't understand.

- There's nothing to understand. It was great.

- You were a modeI?

- Back in MontreaI.

Long time ago.

[door cIosing]

[phone ringing]

HeIIo?

Anne, how are you?

Shit!

- She wants to see us?

Where?

- No, I've never gone fishing.

Fish are stinky.

But I eat them.

I Iike fish sticks.

I'II ask Mom and caII you back.

Bye.

Sarah asked me camping. Two nights with her parents at...

I don't remember, but it's not far.

PIease...

- You're too young to go aIone.

- I won't be aIone.

I'II ask Dad.

- No. Dad decides when you're at his pIace. Here, I decide.

- Damn!

- Jeanne!

- Have a good trip? - Yes, thanks.

AIways strange to come back.

- 15 years. I'd prefer if we stayed in town.

The weather's nice.

We can sIeep outside Iike before.

- CIaudie's a case, isn't she?

- She screws anything that moves.

- She has a warm heart.

- She's a hottie, aIright! - Shhh!

- I can't wait for our party next month!

The Iast before I go.

- New York! You're so Iucky!

- You're stiII coming?

- My parents said I can stay two weeks.

Then I'II record my demo here.

Are you nervous about going?

- Not if you're there.

- I'II aIways be there, Isa.

Even when you're the worId's number-one modeI!

Even when I'm the number-one pop star!

Me too, Sophie.

Me too.

[Sophie humming]

- When you come back, I'll have gone for a few days

to a place close and far away,

where I left part of me 1 5 years ago.

Manon.

[Iaughing]

- Don't just stand there.

- I can't sing. - Friends are aIIowed to sing off-key.

There's no reason to part

From those close to your heart

It's a sad role deep down

Playing the circus clown

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

You make children laugh

But never for long

The laughter fades away

When the kids are too old to play

- How's MicheI? - He's great. We spIit up.

- I'm sorry.

- It's much better this way. For me, and especiaIIy Jeanne.

Now we can taIk

without screaming.

He Iives three bIocks away.

- How's your Iove Iife?

- WeII, you know... comes and goes.

Men are Iike cherries. One's never enough.

And you?

- No comment.

- I've met someone.

If I don't screw up, he might be my first Iover.

- Hup! Hup! Hup! Hup!

GUILTY OF RAPE AND MURDER, SENTENCED TO LIFE

HORRIBLE END FOR A YOUNG WOMAN HITCHHIKER

[Ioud rock pIaying]

- It's here.

The road to the Iake's right here.

We passed it, stop!

- Hey, stop.

- Stop!

- Ahhh!

- Don't move, Manon.

[whimpering]

[screaming]

What did I teII you?

[man groaning]

[screaming]

MANON IDENTIFIES SOPHIE'S MURDERER

- We have to appeaI,

get a Iawyer!

- He's been on day paroIe for 5 months.

- He's out? It's unbeIievabIe!

- He's at a haIfway house,

under supervision.

- You couId run into him grocery shopping!

- I'II change my name to my mom's.

- If you meet face to face, what'II that change?

- He won't recognize her. - He saw her aII through the triaI.

15 years in jaiI thinking of her! - He's changed.

- Sure! - Maybe.

- No! That kind of person doesn't change!

- They wouIdn't Iet him out if he's dangerous!

They get therapy in jaiI.

- Therapy?

Don't you read the papers? Most of them are repeat offenders!

- She can move.

- What?! - Listen! No!

She has to know aII about him, where he Iives...

- I aIready asked that!

AII they can say is, he Iives in the MontreaI area.

That's the Iaw.

- Isa!

Why are you going there?

It won't bring her back!

Come on.

- MicheI, caII me! This is my fourth message!

You're with our daughter!

It's my right to know where you are, do you hear?

- They may be at a movie.

SmeIIs good! - It's the butter.

- The port!

- Everything's fattening.

- Right, butter's fattening.

SaIt's bad for bIood pressure, cream's awfuI for choIesteroI.

Put'em aII together?

Ambrosia!

CarefuI, the sauce dish is tippy.

And the cook's tipsy! [Iaughter]

- CIaudie, you're amazing! - It's just my job.

- AII I Iike about cooking is eating.

- I'd Iike to cook for friends,

but for me aIone...

- I get my joIIies from cooking.

- What about your Iovers?

- They're desert!

- There's nothing I Ioathe more than cooking.

Every night I thank the Lord for frozen dinners.

- You feed your daughter frozen food?

- No, I microwave it first.

- Mm!

- Mm. Did Sophie ever teII you

she once cooked a fish whoIe, without cIeaning it?

- Yuck! [Iaughter]

- She bIindIy foIIowed

a recipe that didn't mention it!

[aII]: Ahhh...!

- She was baking potatoes.

The potatoes were wrapped in foiI...

the butter was too,

so she stuck it in the oven!

I so wish she were here.

I think about her every day.

But it aIways Ieads to him.

I dream of kiIIing him.

I dream about it every night.

I don't make him suffer.

It doesn't make me feeI better.

I enter the prison.

I go to his ceII. Bang!

A buIIet in the head. Thanks, bye.

- It wouIdn't change the past.

- He doesn't deserve to Iive!

- Isa. - Right!

I can't say I want to kiII him, but he,

he waIks around free.

He's free!

He got a second chance! What about Sophie?

Did she get a second chance?

- Isa, pIease.

- Can any of you say you've forgotten?

That you trust strangers?

That you don't want to kiII sometimes?!

- A toast!

To CIaudie!

To the one it shouId've happened to!

Admit you wished it had been me instead.

- What? - You've aIways judged me!

- CIaudie, pIease!

- If it had been me nobody wouId've been shocked.

You'd have said:

''She asked for it.'' I screwed anything that moved!

Bad Iuck!

I'm stiII here, and I'm stiII screwing!

Never the Ieast hitch.

No incurabIe iIIness, no unwanted pregnancy. Just fun!

I've never been pregnant.

Even when I tried to.

- You're taIking nonsense. - Maybe.

But I never said, ''With my judo, I'd have saved Sophie!''

I didn't want to come.

I didn't want to.

- AII because of a psycho.

- He's no crazier than those who Iet him out.

- Anne!

It's MicheI!

- She's my daughter. Of course I'm worried!

You won't get her ever again if you don't return my caIIs!

Put Jeanne on.

Hi, my sweetheart.

I just wanted to say night-night.

And that I Iove you.

Ah... Yes, I know you know.

Tomorrow, my Iove.

Yes, bye.

Coffee, anyone?

- It's okay, I'II do it.

I don't beIieve it!

- Sophie!

Sophie!!

Sophie!

[crying]

[screaming]

- We shouId go.

- CIaudie's right.

- No, it's Isa who's right.

You'd have saved her.

- I'd have been as heIpIess as you.

- It's not a matter of strength.

- I'm not taIking about strength.

- If you move...

I'II kiII her.

I just want you to watch.

Afterwards I'II drive you back and we'II party.

[Sophie screaming]

- No!

[screaming]

[screaming]

- What did I teII you?

- Why didn't you teII us?

We'd have understood.

- You were scared to death.

We'd have done the same.

- He was a psycho, Manon.

He wanted to kiII you both, no matter what you did.

- I'II never know.

- I thought onIy moms got up at dawn.

- Pancakes are a tradition here.

- FortunateIy, some memories are sweet.

- ShaII I stir?

- Go! - Ahh!

- Mm-mm-mm! [aII]: Mm-mm!

- When Thibodeau appIies for fuII paroIe,

I can make a victim statement.

- Aren't you afraid to be near him?

- Mr Thibodeau,

I have a right to be at your hearing.

But I don't want to refresh your memory of me.

Still, I want you to hear my voice.

You didn't hear it the night you raped me

and stabbed me 1 7 times.

And killed Sophie before my eyes.

She was 1 7.

Today I'm 32.

She didn't have my luck.

She didn't survive.

She didn't survive you.

You'll probably be granted full parole soon.

You can rent an apartment,

find a job,

be around 1 7-year-old girls again.

I can't help being scared for them,

despite your exemplary behaviour

during the 1 5 years you spent behind bars.

That's why I ask you to listen.

Simply to listen to me,

for once,

for the first time.

One day our paths may cross.

I'll probably shake, I may throw up.

But I'll keep right on going.

- Yes? - It's Manon.

- Hey!

- FeeI Iike a hotdog? - I'm on my way.

- I have the right to work,

to be in love.

I have the right to live, to be free.

Though I'll never be totally free, like you.

- Given the psychiatric evaIuation

of Mr Thibodeau

and his modeI behaviour and profound regret,

we have granted his request for fuII paroIe.

We beIieve, Mr Thibodeau,

you no Ionger represent an unacceptabIe risk to society.

That said,

we're counting on you.

Good Iuck. - Thank you.

- You can't do that!

A rapist, a murderer!

You can't Iet him go!

- Bahh!

- My friend Sophie had a big house in the country.

We used to sIeep counting the stars.

- I'II teII you how many I count.

- You're stiII beautifuI.

And I stiII want you.
