The Swimming Pool Page #2

I'll rest tomorrow.

The rooms are so hot.

- Ah, can I try your car?

- Now?

Why not?

The bodywork was designed at Ghiana,

and it has a V8 engine.

Four wheel drive,

What does this wonder cost?

Very expensive.

- So you are doing well.

- Yes.

And you? Do you like the new job?

Yes, sort of...

What do you do exactly in

an ad agency? Selling ideas?

Theoretically yes.

- And do you have enough?

- No.

Have you given up on literature?

Yes.

This was the best you could do.

There are days when I am fed up with

everything, and would like to get out.

That's typical of you.

The referee ends the game.

People from the crowd rush in,

and the players...

Good bye. I am done.

Bye, Emilie. Thanks.

Gute nacht, Emilie.

- Good night, sir.

- Good bye, Emilie.

- Come on!

- Wait...

You lose anyway.

Do you want some, Jean-Paul?

- Just a sip.

- No.

- That's the card I was waiting for. I win.

- That's not fair.

- Who won?

- Harry.

- Are you sure?

- He got his card first.

Let the old men win.

I keep saying this.

I am in good shape, right?

Improve your arm technique.

That's your week point.

And you are gasping for breath.

That's because of smoking.

Do you have my watch?

- Yes.

- Thanks.

Wouldn't you like to go out?

Won't you come with me to St. Tropez?

He is a hermit, you know that.

You tell me!

Anyway, I go.

I have a bunch of friends there.

I go visit them.

- Are you coming with me?

- No, maybe next time.

I take one.

I am off. Bye.

- Bye.

- Bye.

If I am not here for dinner,

don't wait for me. All right.

Bye, Pen. Be good.

- Why didn't you join him?

- I didn't feel like going.

If you want to go out, join him.

I think I would just bother him.

I bet he is not coming home alone.

- He would dare, because of his daughter.

- Come on!

- Careful! Pen must be watching.

- She is a big girl.

- No!

- Yes!

- No!

- Yes!

Watch out!

I'm gonna catch you.

Then you'll see...

Which one do you prefer?

What?

Which of the two pellets

do you prefer?

This one. Why?

Me, too.

It's strange, that

we always have a preference.

Even in such small things.

Where is Harry?

Are you cold?

A bit.

I don't like summer.

Only the in-between seasons.

- Are you hungry?

- No.

We should eat something,

even if Harry doesn't come.

It's almost 8 o'clock.

How long have you known

each other?

For two years.

Two years?

Almost two and a half.

And Dad?

We met at his place.

Remember?

That's right.

You were like brothers back then.

We meet less frequently nowadays.

We are back.

This way, sweethearts.

Don't worry. We brought everything.

Here, take this.

The flower.

- Great. They are all your friends?

- Yes. The best ones. Here.
