How is Thomas taking it, that I'm staying with you?

Well. Why?

Just wondering

I have the impression that he's been trying to keep you away from your apartment

It's possible

But you know, he's like that, a little antisocial

And it's part of our way of life, sometimes at his place sometimes at mine

No, no, he likes you, otherwise he would have told me

you're just disturbing his habits, you don't need to worry

I have to go back to the hospital

You're leaving already?

-Yes, I have to

But if you'd like we can eat together tonight at my apartment

Thomas is busy all evening

Bye bye

See you tonight?

It's going to be nice. Wait, wait, wait

That's that

Watch out

What are you doing?

Why are you doing that?

An artist can't decide what is good and what is bad

It's beautiful! Just beautiful!

So, go get some air

It will do you some good

Leave it!

Last night I came up with a story named "The Little Chick"

It's the story of a young man who leaves his mother's house

And walks the streets of an unknown city

Out of fear he sets bombs, exploding everything he likes and dislikes

In the vast city he cannot be found

But him, lost...

suddenly he turns and finds his way following the path of destruction he had created

Back at his mother's house, he re-enters the womb

I want to make love

The anguish of sleeping alone

Luckily, tomorrow I'm working

I thought about calling you

When I work it's ok

But as soon as I think about my life I lose it completely

I would really like to meet your friend, Alix

I love you

Sarah

I don't want to make a big deal of it

The big deal is that it wasn't your decision

-Oh, thank you

In fact you never really wanted to go and live with him

I don't know, these things can be felt

And you let yourself get worn down

He's not stupid, Thomas, he knows he can get you with blackmail

Wait. Slamming the door the other morning, that wasn't emotional blackmail?

It's none of your business! You not going to tell me how to live my life

If I feel like living something through to the end you're not going to stop me

I'm sorry

I don't know what is going on with me

I think it's jealousy that's making me say this

-Wait

I've wanted to talk to you about this for a while

I also love you a lot

I always feel good when we're together

But...

You have to understand that between us...

-Why are you saying this?

I'm not asking you for anything

Do you realize the position you're putting me in?

I'm not ready for this

I won't ever be

Lift, Mozart!

-I'm lifting

Wait, I'm going to get it

Hello

-Pretty heavy, eh Mozart?

Be quiet, I can't hear anything

She was happy anyway

-Who? Pierre?

Oh, Anne's Pierre. Wait a second, I'll get her

Anne, Anne, it's Pierre

Thank you

Pierre? Pierre, I'm so happy to hear your voice

Wait, speak up I can't hear you

Yes, that's it

No, I'm ok don't worry

Oh really? When?

Pierre?

Pierre

I want some tape

A lot

And now, we're going to play an amazing game

You're going to be a very mean mother

And I'm going to tie you up with tape

We could maybe just pretend?

-No! We're doing it for real

You're mean

You're crazy!

You stink!

Big idiot

You're gross like piss

Don't move or I'll kill you, don't move

You have to pretend, don't do it for real

You can't hit, ok?

Who did this to you?

That's her?

She's cute

What happened?

I hurt myself, it's nothing

How's your new apartment?

It's a real construction site

-I thought it had just been renovated?

Yes but Thomas decided to make some improvements

things like changing the ceiling, stripping the woodwork, you know?

Want to get a coffee?

I don't really remember when or why I left you

This separation is more unbearable by the day

I've started to travel without you and love without you

I look for you in the crowd and I can't find your hand in this desert

The more I look for you, the more I lose myself

Mom, I miss you

I couldn't sleep

I was expecting some things

but not this

I don't understand

If you don't want to see me say it

This coffee is done

I love Alix

She'll never love me as I want her to

But I don't know if that even matters

I can't do anything about it

I need to see it through to the end

It's for me?

One day someone that I love

Told me you have to find the strength to love instead of giving in to fear

Do you remember?

It's funny, before she arrived we didn't have any problems

You're mixing things up, Thomas

You think so?

I think you're the one that's mixed up right now

I'm moving back into my apartment

Where are you going?

In your mind we should all be at your feet?

Answer

I'm not done

I love Alix

I won't let anyone destroy her. You understand? No one

Can I have my arm back now?

Wait

I think we've said everything

Anne?

Anne!

I'm going to go with her

I have something important to tell you, can you pass by the restaurant tonight?

Excuse me Mr, I'm closing the door

Do you want a lift?

-No, no, thank you

Oh, thank you

Alix

Yes?

Would you like to adopt my baby?

Department of Psychiatry

I'd like for us to discuss this next time, ok?

-Please hold

Dr Moison?

Take a message please

It's the Notre-Dame Hospital

We'll see eachother on Friday, ok?

-I don't get a kiss?

Yes, Dr. Moison speaking

Look, you've got lots of mail

Zurich the 5th, Zurich the 12th, Boursin the 15th

Antoinette

Lausanne the...

-Wait, its from Pierre

It would be an unforgivable waste if we were unable to find eachother again

I love you, you know

That's all?

I did everything I could to stop the demolition

Simon saved some of the pieces

It's my turn now

Are you hurt?

It would be unforgivable if we were unable to find eachother again

I love you, you know. Anne
