A View of Love Page #3

He has no flaws.

He doesn't drink...

A glass of wine now and then.

Really, the perfect son-in-law.

The Vacqueyras is excellent.

The cellar's good here.

Excuse me.

I want to see you.

Lt's tricky.

Why?

You're at the same hotel?

Yes.

I don't know...

I heard...

What did you hear?

Nothing.

Things...

I didn't believe.

Yes.

In one hour.

Yes.

L'm here to see Mrs. Mandonato.

Just a moment, please.

Sir, the person isn't staying with us.

Look under M for Mandonato.

No, l'm sorry.

We have nobody of that name.

Thankyou.

That's all?

Lt's the offer to buy.

There must be something else.

It's all with the lawyer.

Was there a problem this morning?

Lt's just not professional

not to keep an address.

- lt's usual practice.

- Usual practice!

I'll look again.

You need to call Ricord back.

I said l'll call the a**hole!

If you say so.

Look who's sitting in my chair.

Make yourself at home.

Suzanne, can you pour me a scotch?

That's a deal well done.

We just have to wait now.

How did she pay?

By check.

from visit to pre-sale agreement.

How about that?

It all seems above board.

She's a widow.

You think she's staying over?

No, l've no idea.

You were there

when we left the restaurant.

She dashed straight off.

Why? What's bothering you?

-We tidied up inside.

- Great, thanks.

-We had no time to wash it.

- That's okay.

- Thanks.

- Thankyou. Goodbye.

What are you doing with that?

It was in the car.

He blurted it out after class.

Just like that.

I reminded him l'm a professor.

He just kept on,

said he wanted to tell me since Xmas.

L'm frazzled.

Go easy.

Everything okay?

They having fun?

I owed them an invite.

You owed them nothing.

You'd come with me to Algeria?

Algeria?

You're thinking of going?

I don't know. Maybe.

Where?

L've no idea.

Not the tourist trail.

Most likely, lwon't go.

You never talk about it.

I wasn't allowed to.

It was forbidden.

Like we had to feel guilty or something.

You were all on the wrong side.

But you were just a kid.

We weren't kids.

And we weren't adults.

What's wrong?

Why'd you turn the lights out?

She came from Mycenae.

Who was she?

Iphigenia,

the king's daughter.

She wanted to conquer Troy...

but the wind dropped

and her ships were becalmed.

I have a buyer

for the St. Foirest woods.

I forgot the hunters.

Nearly got shot.

You'll have the briefing

in 10 minutes.

Mr. Ricord, good morning.

Good to talk to you at last.

Yes, we need to meet.

Tomorrow at 5 at the office?

See you then.

My pleasure. Bye.

I found an address foryou.

When the lady came through first time,

she left that.

We sent her a selection of properties.

L'll be back.

Where are you going?

L'll Call.

Mr. Snclauze has just arrived.

Sergio?

- Can you handle Cassis?

- How come?

-I have to go to Le Muy.

- What the heck for?

Look, I brought all the paperwork.

My colleague won't be long.

Do you know Mrs. Mandonato?

Hello, l'm a real estate...

Can 't hear you.

- A real estate...

- Can't hear a word.

Come on up.

The intercom doesn't work.

Come in.

L'll be right with you.

Take a seat, please.

I didn't hear what you do,

but l'm not buying anything.

L'm trying to contact Mrs. Mandonato.

We're doing a property deal

and I can't reach her by phone.

- Does she live here?

- No.

But you see her?

Not for a few days.

But when I do, l'll tell her.

Does she have another address

or number?

If she didn't give you it,

l'd rather...

-You have a card?

- Yes.

L'm not too early?

The chef said it's very spicy.

- lt's beef?

- Yes.

- Thanks.

- A pleasure, Jo.

If anybody had said

one day l'd live off this stuff...

They're good people.

Can I get you adrink?

No, thanks.

Is that your card?

L'll tell her.

Has the restaurant been there long?

It must be...

ten years now.

I rented it out to them.

Before, I had the whole building.

Tell me, what's she buying?

A house.

Expensive?

Pretty.

Beautiful, isn't she?

She's my whole life.

My pearl!

Actually, we go back...

along way.

To when we were kids.

Tell me, son, who are you?

What's your name?

Hello, sir.

Can we have some candy?

Not inside, please.

Out you go.

When he gets back,

l'll look at him like this.

He hasn 't noticed my eyes yet.

He'll be dazzled.

I'll tell him

I have an endless gift for fantasy.

He hasn't noticed the way I look at him

but when he...

Damn it!

What's wrong, Marie-Jeanne?

You had it. It was great.

Keep going.

I have to act

natural,

like a real ingnue.

Sorry.

Let's call it a daythere.

See you Monday.

Morna, my text.

Marie-Jeanne!

-You're going to Marie's birthday?

-I don't know.

See you!

You're here?

You're wet.

L'm taking you to dinner.

I can't, l'm busy.

You called the agencythis morning?

My poor plant.

What did they say about me?

Nothing.

Lt's a done deal. A good one.

Why?

The lunch was a pain.

Here...

You picked up the mail?

No, l'll go tomorrow morning.

The young guy at the agency,

who is he?

Marc?

He was there at lunch?

Who is he?

He's a guy who's very...

You like him?

What's he like?

- Professionally?

- Impeccable.

A bit square, maybe.

No, he's fine, quiet.

He has ayoung family.

And his father-in-law...

Did you talk?

We didn't get time.

Racine? lphigenia.

I just came across it.

That's who you should play.

What's her name,

that other romantic heroine?

There are several.

The one who has her lover killed,

the king...

What about your play?

We're only performing it twice.

Or The Lady ofthe Camellias.

The one who takes ages to die.

Drink?

This time,

we have to sign the final contract.

Why?

The friends l'm working for

have a tax auditor sniffing around.

That wasn't the plan.

When did they say?

They mustn't appear anywhere.

Who'll sign?

Ltwon't befor long.

L've never done that.

Lt's only for three months.

Then they'll buyyou out.

What does it mean for us,

financially?

From one to five.

Don't worry about it.

Your name won't be there very long.

What about the funds?

How does it work?

We pick up the money.

There'll be a cashier's check.

And some cash for us.

You can say no.

Me?

Hi there.

I got 7 in my test.

- First and last.

- Be right back.

L'll be going.

Did you ask

for information on Mandonato?

Yes.

It arrived.

Lt's bugging me.

Her company's based in Nice.

I meant to ask Sergio to drop by,

take a look.

I can go if you want.

You've got the address?

Sure, but Sergio...

l'm at Cagnes tomorrow anyway.

Dad, are you eating with us?

Well...

If I went back to myjob,

what would you say?

L'd understand

that you want a normal life.

Meaning?

But you didn't enjoy

being stuck back there,

in your cubby-hole in the archives.

I can't find my lighter.

I hiked up there with my father.

We picnicked on top.

He was young then, plenty of stamina.

He was so happythat day.

He took off his widower armband.

A guy came by.

Ayoung man who knew you

when you were little.

His father was a wine merchant.
