Original subtitles

To put it bluntly, in six months we'll all be on the dole.

We should have got moving before.

It's too late now. It opens in six months.

Stop moaning. You tell them, for God's sake!

I have an idea to bring in more trade.

It's not very original,

but we could run an ad: "We're right up your Street."

Forget it, pops. That's corny. We need something new.

Hold it, Gérard! Your pal in a clown suit giving out candy was pitiful!

He was cheap, okay but who came? Nobody. Nobody!

The carnival last year was a good example.

You weren't around to clean up after it!

- Elephant dung. - It was no joke.

I didn't sell one extra piece of jewelry.

If we stick together we can work together

If not, dozens of us will go out of business.

Attractions take up all the parking space

- We're back to that again. - Make a suggestion!

DRY CLEANING

The Queens of the Night! And now, dance time!

Another round, please. It's on me.

Thanks, Jean-Marie.

Gosh, that woke you up! Come on.

- I can't dance to this. - Come on! Nobody's watching.

- Will you be long? - No.

Jean-Marie?

Mrs. Girodon's husband needs this tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow evening.

His train leaves at 10.

No way. She should think ahead, dammit!

Tell her. You know she'll have a fit

- Did he grumble? - Not at all.

Morning.

What name?

Cariou. Loic Cariou, with one "r".

For tomorrow night?

Not for tomorrow, no.

I'll be off. Goodbye.

Have a nice day.

- I heard you do miracles. - Oh, yes?

Who said?

I'll ask my husband.

This dress?

There's a stain. Sangria, I think.

Wine stains are difficult.

Tannin's a dye. I'll have to do tests.

For tomorrow night?

It's my work dress. I'd appreciate it.

Lamé's fragile. I'll try, but no promises.

Got an aspirin? My head's killing me.

I'll see.

In the dresser drawer.

- One or two? - Two. I have a mega hangover.

- Don't you ever use the wrong stuff? - No.

- I bet you get "stubborn stains". - Sometimes.

- Don't they bug you? - I keep going till it's perfect.

Cheers.

- What's that? Your inflatable doll? - It's a steam dummy.

Excuse me. We have work to do.

See you guys.

- Feeling better? - I'm goin to crash.

Good night! Here's your ticket.

Thanks. Wasn't it you at the club last night?

Yes, why?

- Do you go there often? - Not at all.

We rarely get out to that kind of place.

Come see us again.

Now I'm really going.

I'll deliver this lot now.

I'll come with you. Drop me at the bank.

Josiane, will you lock up?

Pierre!

Don't be late for lunch with Grandma.

Would you have recognized him?

No. He looks quite normal.

Yes.

Handsome. Not at all effeminate.

So what? Look at the Ouvrard boy.

He looks very "macho" but from what I hear...

Rumors get you nowhere.

Don't tell me a drag artist is like you and me.

Fancy going back there?

No. Enough is enough.

What are you up to?

Nothing.

What are you doing?

Come here...

Don't mess with the customers' clothes.

Be nice. Give me the dress.

Come and get it.

Give me a break. I'm pooped.

Tell me why you're my only problem

Tell me why you're my only care

We reap the kind of life we sow

But when love comes along, we re a little surprised

Thanks to you, I'm a different person

And because of you, I've changed too

I don't know where it's leading us

Is it luck or is it madness?

If this isn't love, it sure feels like it

Each time I move away you come a little closer

If living together is not really love

It's something so like it, it may be even better

I have a problem. feel that I love you

I have a problem. I love you too

The words always stay the same

It's we who change when we say them

I have a problem. I'm afraid I love you

I have a problem. I'm afraid I do too

Even when we lose, we win

And after all, we didn't choose

If this isn't love, it sure feels like it

Each time I move away you come a little closer

If living together is not really love...

That was wonderful!

Thanks for coming, and for the dress. It's perfect.

Your husband's talented.

He deserves a kiss.

- Have fun. - Thanks.

You're blushing.

You are, you're blushing!

Look. It's the man from the bank.

Well I never!

Two dry Martinis, please.

How are you doing?

- Very smooth act you have there. - Thanks.

I'm a big fan of Sylvie Vartan.

It's your lucky day!

- Been imitating them long? - 3 years.

- Always her and Johnny Hallyday? - Others too.

Marilyn! Come here a sec.

Meet my sis.

- Your sister? - Hi.

Jean-Marie Kunstler.

I'll get back to my wife.

- Buy you a drink? - That's the idea.

What will it be?

We kind of like champagne.

I wish I'd spent my life traveling.

Don't you ever get away?

Not much. We work 12 months a year.

It's a real hard grind.

Our last spree was eight years ago.

A week in Paris for the trade fair.

No thanks, We quit.

We'll soon be in Basel The Krystal Palace, you know?

Not like this place, is it?

Yeah, at least it's alive.

Don't you like it here?

It's the pits.

10 p.m. to 5 a.m. You should hear the boss.

"The pay's low but at least it's legit." Some career!

With the recession, it's chickenshit or nothing.

- You're feeling the pinch too? - Yeah, up to here!

Let's use first names.

Sure.

Times are hard. Nicole does the accounts...

- We don't bother with accounts. - Lucky you!

We have no choice.

Don't say that. You can always change your life.

Easier said than done.

No, really! You wouldn't believe the life we had. Berlin, Zurich,

Vienna...

summers on the Riviera...

With tips and all we were raking it in.

If things stay lousy we'll change jobs, no sweat.

Nicole knows what I mean.

We'll let them talk.

Let's you and me boogie.

- Where did you learn to dance? - It was Marilyn.

I worked in a garage. When I got fired

she stuck a wig on me, and bingo! They say I'm good

It's true. It seems like you've...

done it all your life.

Shaking your butt comes naturally, I say.

She's really nice.

She's more than that.

I hate to think where I'd be without her.

- I don't want to pry, but... - Don't be shy.

Seeing you like this,

you don't look like...

What? A queen?

I only do it for a living. It beats working in a factory

and you meet lots of new people.

What do we do? Order another?

Should we? I'm a bit woozy.

Good. It makes you look pretty.

Move your hips. Loosen up!

You'll have a hard job with me.

Move your shoulders too. You're so stiff!

Stop, stop. I feel stupid.

Don't say that

You're really sweet, both of you.

Hubbies and wives

don't often let their hair down in places like this

I'm thirsty. Aren't you?

If it grabs you, we could make a foursome later on.

Let go of me!

Take it easy, baby.

- Get lost! - You love it.

Get lost!

Fuck off!

Get them out. They're not even buying.

I'll deal with them.

Easy, pal.

- Can I help? - You keep out of this!

Pay your bill. It's 1,000 francs

and stop making trouble.

- We're not. - You do it every time.

- Sure you can drive? - Yeah, I'm fine.

Tomorrow at 8. Good night, boss.

- You almost crashed! - I've got it.

Like hell. You're a menace!

Slow down!

- Turn right. - I know, I know.

My ass! He's lost.

How about a last drink?

No, we're heading home. I'm dog-tired.

Party-pooper.

See? It's easy. Just let yourself go.

Want some more?

That's it, drink up.

Isn't that good?

Your little mustache...

I think that's enough.

I could do nice things for you. No?

That'll do.

Nicole!

That's enough. Come on!

Do you want to pay us now?

What? You mean...

Yeah.

How much?

How about 800?

I have only 200 left.

Will you take a check?

No problem.

Calm down, children.

The cake, the cake!

Happy birthday fatso!

That's not nice, Jerome!

- Hello, Mrs. Kunstler. - Hello, Nanou.

- Is that everything? - They're all done.

Excellent.

It's all sorted. That's all for today.

- Have a nice day. - Thanks.

You look worn out.

Why don't we take a break, just for a weekend?

I don't see why not if we can find the time.

After the meeting, I got talking with the Brocards.

They went to Prague two weeks ago. They say it's fabulous.

Look.

This is where they stayed. It looks great.

The Bohemia.

"Romantic hotel, open since 1994.

Splendid neo-baroque ballroom,

authentic wood paneling, tea room..."

How much?

"Three days, double room: 3,650 francs per person, fares included."

That makes almost 10 grand.

With the loan payments we can't afford it.

Oh, well. Say no more.

Have you finished?

Cheer up. We'll see how we stand next year.

You've said that for 15 years.

You have all you need.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Tell me what's wrong.

You know...

I try my best, but the more it goes on,

the less I feel I'm cut out for cleaning other people's shit.

Now you tell me?

You used to be so willing.

I know.

All I want is for you to be happy.

What can I do?

I don't know.

Are you mad at me?

It wouldn't do any good, anyhow.

You can't stop. You always want to be the best.

I know. It's like a disease.

You know what?

We'll take a weekend in Switzerland. Basel.

Basel?

Why there?

I don't know.

It's less than an hour by train.

We've never been there. There must be lots to see...

and maybe we'll bump into the Queens of the Night.

Wait. I don't get it.

What?

I thought you had enough of them.

What's that look on your face?

Come on. We're on vacation!

- How are you? - Remember us?

Did we meet in Belfort? Memory's not my thing.

Who swiped my lotion? Bastards!

- We should go. - How long are you here for?

Just the weekend. We dropped by to say hello.

Thanks. Marilyn, look who's here.

Hi! What are you doing here?

Taking a weekend break.

- We saw your show. - It's really great.

Thanks.

Isn't it funny, meeting like this?

- Let's get going. - Go if you want.

- What does he want? - To sleep with me.

Tell him to fuck off.

- Don't touch me! - Lighten up.

Get off her!

Go fuck yourself, big boy!

I'm with him.

You're with me!

I do what I want, okay?

Fuck off!

Stop it! Stop!

The guy's a nutcase!

Calm down!

Take it easy.

Get off me!

Our hotel's nearby. Come with us.

Why don't you lay off me?

Yes, we know him.

Yes. Send him up.

Is he alone?

- What is it? - It's Loic.

- Where's the john? - That way.

What fun.

These things happen.

That's better.

Can I sleep here?

If you like.

I'll get you a blanket.

Don't bother.

Just ignore me.

Nice digs!

Tea? Coffee?

Coffee - but I'll get some clothes on first.

- So, for your mother? - No idea.

- I feel great! - Good.

Did you two make up?

Like hell! She went with the bozo. God knows what she sees in him.

Not sex, that's for sure.

Has she known him long?

We met on a gig in Zurich.

The bad news is,

he thinks he's an artist. Writes her poems!

Dumb bitch laps it up!

It feels good to be here.

Are you staying long?

There it is - the Queenmobile.

You live in that?

What did you expect, a four star hotel?

Go on in. I'm gonna take a piss.

Don't mind the mess. Sit down.

- Want a drink? - Yes.

From the bottle, I'm afraid.

Is this you?

Don't you recognize me? There's Marilyn, too.

We were 12 or 13. In a kid's home in Brittany.

Where were your parents?

No idea. We were always in homes.

Marilyn's all the family I have, or want.

Shit!

At least half's gone.

Fucking bastard! I'll kill him.

It's time we were going.

- How's life? - Fine. Nice weather.

Did you dump the slob?

I carne to say bye. We're off to Ibiza.

What the fuck for?

- We're going to open a bar. - You and him?

I have to do it now or never!

You know I'm sick of sweating around.

I'm sorry. The Queens of the Night are over.

You can't do this.

Sorry. My mind's made up. It's not easy for me, either.

Here.

It's my share but I can take care of myself.

I don't want charity.

We couldn't go on like that.

I don't understand.

What? That we're too fond of each other?

I never had a problem with that.

On the contrary.

Keep it.

Goodbye.

I can lend you some money if you need it.

It's kind of you, but no.

No problem, honest.

I know, but I don't want to grab your money.

Not anymore, anyhow.

This is what I got for Pierre.

- Nice. - It's better than a watch.

We'd better catch that train.

- If you're ever in Belfort... - Don't hold your breath!

I have a lot of things to do.

I had a good time with you, though.

- Keep in touch, okay? - Yeah, sure.

Don't worry. Knowing Marilyn, she'll soon come down to earth.

Bye.

Jean-Marie?

Can you come here a minute?

Hi.

I'll be damned!

- You look a mess. - It's been hard.

You quit the job?

My boss, tore up the contracts. The Queens were a double act.

- I need a new dodge. - Like what?

I have a line on something in Marseilles

but till then, maybe I'll get a job here.

Maybe someone needs a mechanic.

It won't be easy. You won't find anything stable.

Could you come, please? I have a problem.

I'll let you get back to work.

- Where are you going? - Don't worry. I'll cope.

Stay for dinner.

I'll spare you that. I'm filthy.

So take a shower. Give me your clothes. You're in the right place.

Come on.

Here's one of Jean-Marie's shirts.

It may not be your style, but...

I'll get you a clean towel.

I'm really glad you're here

If you need anything, just ask.

I need you to kiss me.

I'm no fool. My insurance only covers my own liability.

His jacket was shot. I warned him. He's pushing his luck.

You're too naive. He wants a free new jacket, it's obvious

Thanks, I got that much.

You never learn. With people like that

you've got to be tough

When I was in charge this would never have happened.

It'll get cold. Eat.

"Or it'll eat you," Grandma always says.

I hope you don't mind beef stew.

I love it.

- Get an insurers' report. - Don't let him argue!

His jacket's falling apart. He doesn't even live here.

Rip off the sleeve and say no more.

She studied with Bonnie & Clyde!

At least we did good business.

That was long ago, Yvette.

Let's change the subject. Loic looks bored

"Loic"?

That's not local. Where's it from?

Brittany.

My husband said people from Brittany

- no offense! - were all pig-headed.

He was quite right.

I like your guest.

I know nothing about you. What's your line of work?

I'm in show business.

Lay off him, Ma. He's tired.

You know the Bobino in Paris?

I went there once with my husband.

If she starts, we'll be up all night.

Nicole, if you're tired, go to bed.

G® on, Grandma! Sing us your song.

You know "Paris Lads"?

Paris lads are a race apart

In all the world there's no one so smart

So cocky and bright, they'll steal your heart

A Paris lad once whispered in my ear,

"If I ever go away, have no fear

I'll have managed to put Paris

in a jar, right here!"

Thank you.

This could be a bad idea.

Why? Because of your mother?

It's not that.

- What? - We barely know him.

It's weird, having him sleep here. Isn't it?

What are you afraid of?

I feel I can trust him.

You're the trusting kind.

You think too much. You invite him in and then worry yourself sick.

You're right, I'm worried.

- Where are you going? - To piss.

Slacks are what ironing's about. It's how I test all my new staff.

No kidding. Sharp creases take talent.

Watch me. Press the pedal. Okay?

Slide it gently up over the cloth. Don't crush it.

The wrist always loose, okay?

You make it look so easy.

Now you try.

- I'd be no good. - Don't say that.

Body position is crucial.

Stand near, but not too close or you'll cramp your elbow.

Go on

- I'm going to screw up. - Go on.

Slide it up... Right. Now begin again.

Again. Up, up, as far as the fly...

A puff of steam to give it volume... What's so funny?

Nothing.

Now the other side.

- You're talented. - You're kidding.

I'm not. If you want, I'll train you.

I can't see it myself.

Daddy?

Don't forget my basketball game.

Of course not. When is it?

Iron out the creases at the knee.

Three o'clock sharp.

Today? I can't. I'm too busy.

Use both hands.

There. Good.

- Not bad for a first try. - You think I have a future in slacks?

See this, Maryse?

Isn't he cute?

How old was he?

Where did you two meet?

At a wedding. He danced awfully.

Still does.

- Love at first sight? - We fell for each other.

My parents weren't so happy.

They had high hopes She trained as a beautician.

Right. And gave it all up for him.

Look, that's them.

No regrets?

No. Never.

How about a drink to celebrate?

You never smile in photographs I swear it. Look.

Whiskey for you?

Yvette, Grand Marnier?

Yes, please.

A drop more, to help me sleep.

Tell me, Loic.

I'm not trying to push you out

but will you be staying here long?

I don't know. Depends.

It's time you went to bed, Ma.

Right. I only live here!

Isabelle, tell me...

What's going on here? What went wrong?

Why did you put up a barrier?

Because I'm too jealous.

You saw just now

how much it hurts your fiancé.

- He's like a brother, am I right? - He's my brother.

How do they do it? Letting it all out in public...

Could you?

- He's getting like you. - Poor guy.

He hasn't had a break all day.

It's amazing. I've never seen anyone learn so fast.

See? I told you to trust him.

So, one jacket...

There's a spot there.

Did you rub it? Should be okay, then. And a blouse...

- This is done. - I'll take it.

Can I use the cart?

- Is Wednesday okay? - Fine.

This is where I used to work.

We bought the upstairs later.

I lived like a mole.

That was my first machine.

Italian. Unbreakable. I could run it now if I wanted.

Why don't you junk this stuff?

It all has memories.

I dump memories. They freak me out.

That's because you're young.

You're young, too.

When you work like a dog you don't see the time go by. Luckily.

Have you always done this?

When I met Nicole I worked in a factory

but I'm too outspoken to take orders.

Jean-Marie?

I can't find Mr. Thuillier's jacket. The tweed one.

Shit! It's not ready.

- You tell him. He's waiting. - Okay.

He showed you his museum?

Your husband's a good guy.

How did you find this place?

Marilyn did. We used to come here after work.

Have you heard from her?

That's Russian.

Is it?

You know Russian?

Have you seen my...?

Your what?

Gosh!

Have you been shopping?

Yes.

- Why? - It's not like you, that's all.

I thought it was so pretty

and it makes a change.

It is pretty.

You should try it on right now.

It's bedtime.

That's what I mean.

You're impossible!

Do you like it?

You're really beautiful.

Come here.

Don't you feel like a drink?

- A drink? - Yes. I'm thirsty.

Shall I get you a brandy?

If you like.

What are you reading?

A book of Pierre's. Ever heard of this guy Fouquet?

He was even richer than Louis XIV.

Are you into history now?

I promised Pierre I'd test him on his homework.

Your husband's a lucky man.

- Is he asleep? - No, he's waiting for me.

What if he walks in?

We'll say you needed a little massage.

You don't seem to mind it.

- I'll leave you alone. - Don't stop.

I have to go. Why don't you join us?

Hold it. What's going on?

Nothing. I just thought...

- You still think I'm a gigolo. - I don't.

So what's the idea?

I thought so. This is where the party is.

I got your brandy.

You're not asleep?

- Neither are you. - I'm not tired.

You saw her new outfit? Say no and you're a liar.

A real pin-up, huh?

I think I'd better go to bed.

Good night.

Hope I don't mess you two up.

- What do you mean? - Nothing.

You should know.

I'll let you sleep.

We have all those blankets to do tomorrow

Do you come here often?

Now and then.

When I'm sick of the dry-cleaning fumes.

I like the way this town has no center

and also...

nothing really beautiful. It frees your imagination.

It's a real small town.

You can say that again!

At first I tried hard to fit in, but...

I don't know why. I haven't been able to.

If I could, I'd move back up to Lille.

I can breathe there.

Maybe only because I was born there.

- Aren't you cold? - I'm okay.

I feel good with you two.

It's like having a family.

I'm frightened

of getting too fond of you.

Jean-Marie!

What's she up to now?

- Has your Ma calmed down? - No. She won't leave her room.

- Call the fire department. - Very funny.

Is that all you can say?

She shouldn't snoop around.

Listen, Loic. You know what she's like

I know.

I'll get out of here.

It's better for everybody.

Sure you won't stay for dinner?

I'm not hungry.

Goodbye.

Thanks.

Are you really leaving?

Yeah. I'll keep in touch, I promise.

I'll see you out.

Wait a sec.

I'll pay you for the month.

Forget it.

No way. Fair's fair.

Where will you sleep?

The station hotel. Remember?

Yes.

This is so stupid.

Don't worry about it.

Bye.

Here. I'd rather you got rid of it.

It'll only get me into trouble.

I guess so.

So long.

Nicole? Did you check in the Monniers' sheets?

I don't think so.

Looks like they had plenty of fun in them.

Excuse me. Do you have a Loic Cariou staying here?

Room 15. He hasn't come out for two days.

Why don't you ever go out?

I was bushed. I've been sleeping it off. How've you been?

Okay.

Shut the door. Don't just stand there.

We want you to come back to work.

What about your Ma?

I'm the boss. I make the decisions.

And I have to obey?

You're not the type.

What "type" am I for you two? I can't figure you guys out.

Do you know what you want from me?

I'm not here to argue I carne to make you an offer.

People who work as well as you are hard to find. And not only that.

You have what it takes,

no question. So if you want,

I'll give you a full-time job and a cut of the profits.

Do I make you laugh?

You don't make me laugh.

You make me hard.

Come here.

Come on.

Cut it out!

What are you scared of? I know you want it.

I should clobber you.

Go ahead.

You stupid prick, I made you a serious offer.

Take it or leave it.

VOSGES'S LAUNDRY

It wasn't easy but you'll see, it's immaculate.

It's wonderful.

290 francs, please.

Vosges Cleaners.

Yes, it's ready.

Pick it up any time. Goodbye.

I can deliver it ¡f you like.

- Say four o'clock? - You're very kind. Thank you.

Goodbye.

- What's that, Maryse? - Looks like ball-point.

- I can't give it back like that. - It's not my fault.

That's how we waste time and money.

He's right.

"...1,672 meters of perimeter wall

with nineteen turrets and nineteen archery stations."

It's so boring! Will you test me?

I haven't got time.

Here's to the last survivors!

- When do you get out? - Out?

- Out to pasture. - Pasture?

Did you hear how he talks to me?

He thinks I'm an old nag. It's him that's going senile!

Claude would have us all retire.

Hi, how are you?

Haven't seen you for a while What's up?

- We've been too busy. - Ah, work...

Have a drink.

- How's the restaurant doing? - Fifty for lunch. Can't complain.

You're going to mass? What time does it end?

Family service, at noon.

- "Lease for sale". - I saw it.

- Still happy with your lad? - He's great.

I'm glad. But you know what people are like.

What do you mean?

Plenty of wagging tongues around.

To hell with them.

- Bye, Jean-Marie. - See you tomorrow.

It's none of my business but you shouldn't let him live in.

Don't you start. I do what I want. Get it?

Keep your shirt on. It's you I'm thinking of.

Yeah, well screw you!

Nicole! We're going.

Come on.

Wait, Jean-Marie. Listen!

Give me a smoke.

- You sure? - Yeah.

You'll soon be back to a pack a day.

- What's wrong? You look down. - I'm okay.

If I've messed up, tell me.

- It's nothing to do with work. - What is it?

Remind me to stop at the garage.

- Why don't you tell me? - It's a private matter.

Don't we trust each other?

You want to fuck me.

What? You've got to be crazy.

You think I'm blind? In the hotel, you wanted it.

Keep off me. I'm warning you.

I can read guys' faces. I've done it for the money

but it's different with you.

Yeah? Like how?

I don't know.

It's new for me.

Fuck off.

Fuck off!

Astrid, everyone blamed you for Bernard's divorce.

How did you cope with that?

Mom-in-law hit the bull's-eye!

So?

I loved him so much...

Ma! Can you turn it down?

Is she going deaf or what?

Let it go. She does it on purpose.

Did you file the last Atria invoice?

No, Loic did it.

I need it. Is he downstairs?

He's finishing the yellow dress. I'll go.

Can you make sure Pierre's in bed?

Which do you prefer?

I'd rather do basketball than summer camp.

Show me.

There's St. Jean, Limoges and Perpignan.

All with a top French player.

Perpignan's the best.

Look. "April 16th to 23rd, 2,250 francs all-inclusive."

- Gosh! - Is it too much?

No, it's okay.

Now go to sleep.

Reach out to him, not just this once...

- I'll make up with him. - For always.

Is Nicole still downstairs?

What does it look like?

Go on, Pierre!

I don't know how you put up with it.

Don't start that again

Do you realize the whole Street knows?

Shut up or I'll lock you in the van.

I like Nicole the way she is. Different.

You're telling me. She's obviously not a local girl.

Don't smoke!

You know what I read in Health Weekly?

At 40 you start having problems.

I don't give a shit.

It's nice here, isn't it?

We should come more often.

Soon we'll do better.

In late April, two weeks of real vacation.

Grandma in the Golden Age Club, Pierre at basketball camp

and we'll be free to go.

Can I ask where?

Canada.

That's far.

It's far, exactly.

The perfect change of scene.

I'm glad I got the tickets.

You got the tickets?

What's wrong? You don't seem very happy.

Yes, I am.

I am.

Who'll mind the shop?

Nobody. We'll close, for once.

What about Loic?

I'm afraid we can't go on like this.

Why not? What's happened?

Nothing.

It's my fault for letting him move in.

If I've done something wrong

I think we should talk about it.

Not now.

What are you scared of?

Loic is part of our life. You can't avoid it.

That's the problem. We've gone much too far.

Too far for who?

You?

What counts is you and me. I'm thinking of the future

What's the future? Back to square one, is that it?

You've been cagey all along.

All I know is that it can't go on.

I warn you, I'm not going back.

What's this? You guys having a pow-wow?

Hope you're hungry. I got some crêpes.

A day like this gives me strength to start the week.

Like that breakfast in Basel.

That's a good memory.

Funny you should say that. I never thought I'd have memories.

It's thanks to you.

Have fun. Bye.

You're not eating.

After what you just said, I'm not hungry.

You can see the week out

and I'll give you three months extra pay to tide you over.

If you like, I'll recommend you to a cleaner I know who needs help.

I can take care of myself, thanks.

You're making a mistake. Recommendations are useful.

How can you recommend a guy you fired?

It's not that. You're a good worker.

What did I do wrong?

You did nothing wrong.

I thought you were my only friend.

Seems I was wrong.

It's on me. Bye.

Thanks. Have you got the invoice, so I can get it signed?

I left it in the car.

Don't just stand there. Get it!

Fuck you! Get it yourself!

What's got into you?

Leave me alone!

Shut up and listen!

To what? The one time something happens in our lives, you ruin it!

- Calm down. - Get off me!

Can't you see it had to end?

Why?

I'm not stopping now.

What's that supposed to mean?

If Loic goes, I go with him.

- Once we're in Canada... - I'm not going!

I'm going down. I have things to do.

- Good night. - Going to bed?

No, I'm going to pack.

Pack?

I've decided to go away.

Where to?

To Lille, to stay with friends.

Does Jean-Marie know?

No. I'll tell him later.

Are you really sure?

I don't know what I'll do without you.

Did you iron these?

Yes. Something wrong?

There's a crooked seam. See?

Look. They were badly cut so they don't hang straight.

You're right.

What are you doing?

Looking at you.

What's your game?

It's no game. I want you.

Get back upstairs.

Don't...

please.

I know you're hard.

See? You can't fool me.

Let yourself go for once.

You're mine.

- Say you're mine. - Yes.

What were you scared of? Looking like a fag?

Say you love me.

Say it!

Spit it out! You love me!
