35 Rhums Page #2

---

Am I running behind?

Lionel, take the tickets.

I'll drop you off|and park in the lot.

We're not even near.

We haven't gone out|as a family in ages.

Can you lower the music a little?

We can't talk.

- Hold on!|- Gabrielle, get behind the wheel!

I can't believe this!

It's no big deal.

It'll be fine. Turn!

Be careful! Not so fast!

- Calm down!|- I am calm!

- You push too hard!|- Turn left.

I'm stranded with my friends!

- Don't shout!|- Don't scream!

No way!|I don't want it stripped tonight!

What?

You'll send a tow truck?

Rue Papin...

He can't hear a thing!

How long?

I see...

I don't have a choice.

We'll be waiting.

Goodbye!

- Cool it!|- You have to scream?

We couldn't hear each other.

Should I look at the motor?

- You know motors?|- Sure.

I'll take a look.

You have to be|a computer specialist!

It's up to you!

Sh*t.

I squashed your flowers.

There's an envelope inside.

Must be the florist's card.

Don't look so glum.

We'll cheer each other up.

Will you be okay?

Closing time.|I'll stay open 5 minutes for you.

- A tow truck's coming.|- Last round.

Last one, then it's finished.

No, I'm closing.

Sorry, it's time.

Five minutes is enough.

When it's time, it's time.

Can you drop us off?

I can't.|There's no room in the cabin.

I think we can forget|about the concert.

We'll take cabs home.

- This is too sad.|- What else can we do?

Let's go have a drink somewhere.

I'll call a colleague.

Pierre?|Can you send me a car?

Yeah, I'm stuck here.

No, we're closed.

Come on, please!

- This is nice of you.|- Come in.

Thanks, you're very kind.

We're cold.

- What happened?|- First the car broke down.

A tow truck came.|We missed our concert.

We don't feel like going home|like this.

Stop acting up.|He's my nephew.

So you ended up opening?

Have a seat.|I'll warm something up.

I'll be right with you.

Yes, Pierrot!

You'll pick us up?

I think it's the transmission.

It's going to be too late.

Forget it, Gabrielle.

We're fine here.

Pierrot, change of plans.|We're staying.

I'm not sure I can work on Monday.

You're not dancing?

So they all stare at us?

You're something.

I'm out of milk.

What's wrong?

It's my cat.

He died.|At 17, in his sleep.

I'd say it's a good way to go.

In a trash bag?

That's awful.

No frills. He's dead and done for.

I think I'm going to leave here.

I was offered a job overseas.

Now that my cat's dead,|I'll take it.

It's in Gabon and pays well.

I'll sell the apartment|and that's it.

You'll ditch us and go away?

Why not?

You always tell me|how it's ugly and old here.

Are you okay?

I have a headache. Any aspirin?

Why are you doing housework?

Isn't it clean enough?

Rifling through everything|for no reason!

Why throw that stuff away?|Just to piss me off?

It's filthy here!

We need to empty it all out.

This makes no sense!|Think of yourself!

No's leaving!

I bet you already know|but I just found out.

The Congo, someplace like that.

No, I didn't know.

I'm leaving too.

I can do the same as him.

Everyone's leaving.

Don't be silly.

We'll do as we please.|As we always have.

- Nothing will change.|- Yes! Everything will.

Lionel, I miss you.|I miss you so much.

Josephine finally fell asleep.

She looks like you when she sleeps.

It makes me love her even more.

Please let me live|by your side every day.

She'll be my daughter too.

My love, my rascal...

FOR SALE:

You have something to tell me?

I didn't think I'd miss it.

Stop by whenever you want.|I enjoy it.

When it's over, it's over.|You have to leave.

A clean break... It's better.

You make me feel better.

You're not much of a talker.

You never say a thing.

When I get dark thoughts,|I think of my daughter.

F***.

Service is interrupted|due to a technical incident.

F***, Ren...

I was hungry.

So was I.

It's very good, as usual.

We see too little of each other.

That's the way it is now.

We all lead such withdrawn lives.

Everyone in his corner.

Every man for himself.

Would you like some more coffee?

Yes I would, ma'am.

You don't have to be so formal!

Yes, then.

You must have been driving|all night.

Melanie...

No, thank you.

You can stay for lunch.

Or even spend the night.

Thanks, but we want|to get back on the road.

Maybe some other time.

Some other time...

Your mother said she fell in love|with a guy in Paris.

I asked her:
"Is he cute?"

She looked me straight in the eyes|and said:

"You're going to like him."

I taught her to swim.|She was scared of the water.

We're all scared of it.

I'm also scared of that sea.

So vast, so wide...

And when you scream,|no one hears you.

Lionel...

do you remember that time...

when we all went swimming together?

We basked in the sun.

Lost in the dunes.

Good wine.

Not always that good.

You don't remember?

Why don't we drink some wine?

A little glass of wine now.|Why not?

Sometimes it seems

the whole world|is scared of suffering.

Everyone wants

either total stress or...

some peace|in their happy little lives.

But not us, not us!

We're strong, aren't we?

Aren't we, Lionel?

Still so silent.

I'm glad Josephine gets by in German.|It makes me happy.

Just like your dad!

I like being here with you.

We could live like this forever.

Let me in.

- Who'll do her hair?|- She's doing fine alone.

Take all this, at least.

See you later.

Your mother's necklace.

Pretty, isn't it?

It's underway.

This annoys me.

This 35 rum thing,|did you invent it?

Maybe.

A moment like this

only happens once.

So tonight, 35 shots.

You're on the right track.

Gabrielle, you're not going to cry?
