Well?
Ear infection.
Granny? Ulysse is sick.
He needs medicine.
Josephine,
you're too much!
I'm not too much.
You know, Josephine
it may be important,
so pass the phone.
No, I'm calling Granny.
What if I give
you this?
Then you can
play doctors.
Hello, yes.
She still has fever?
No, that's not normal.
Come right over
and I'll fit you in.
That's a pretty baby...
Be right back.
You can get dressed.
Hi, Cathy!
Sorry, just some joker.
You can't come?
- What'll you do?
- Nothing.
That's a sad Christmas Eve.
No, Manu, I'll buy in
a gourmet TV dinner
and I bet it'll be
one Zen Christmas.
As you like.
Happy Christmas!
Hi, it's me.
What's the story?
Almost done, and you?
I'm done.
Well, almost...
Sorry, I forgot.
Come on in.
Hi, girls!
You know the way.
Be right there.
- So, got the presents?
- Presents?
- Sh*t, I forgot.
- Christ, Philippe!
I told you a thousand times!
I know.
I'm really sorry.
Sure, see you in a bit.
- Isa, how's it going?
- Okay.
nd you?
Running late
forgot the presents.
Why don't I get them
and you get Marine at the crche?
Paris is crazy!
I'll never make it.
Okay, fine.
See you at Mom's.
Don't forget her teddy!
Do I ever!
Big kiss bye.
- Fine.
Bravo for the wine,
my nephews will love it.
Good it cost a bomb.
- I'm useless with kids.
- Never a kid yourself?
No, or I've forgotten.
Yeah, sure...
Come on.. .
Stop being a grouch.
Let's say hello.
Watch out!
F***!
And the phone has to ring.
Yes, Mrs. Berger...
- Are you blind!
- You handle it.
That's all I need!
- You okay?
- No, I'm not!
Sorry, we're totally in the wrong.
Don't worry
we'll make a declaration.
It's a bit late...
Just get the medicine up front...
- Where is it?
- What?
- The insurance form.
- I dunno!
No, Madam,
I wasn't talking to you.
Happy Christmas.. .
Yes, goodbye.
Quick, the crche is closing.
I'm so sorry.
I got my insurance documents
the other day
but as I'm moving,
I've mislaid them.
Must be in here somewhere.
Listen, we're running late.
So I suggest we do the declaration
another day.
Better still, have your car fixed
then I pay you and save my bonus.
Okay?
Here's my card.
Thanks.
Wait!
Here's my number.
Great, so I'll be hearing from you.
I'm really sorry.
Goodnight.
Better hurry.
Hi, everybody!
At last!
Hi, scallywags!
Uncle Philippe!
Hi, buddy.
- How was her day?
- Alright, but...
I better check that fever.
How's my favourite!
Great to be here.
- Suzanne, like a drop?
- No, thanks.
Here you take her
I'll go get her dessert.
Isn't she cute?
Don't bother him,
I'll take her.
No, Mom he's fine.
He has to learn.
I think she just.. .
Sorry, she's not well.
No problem.
Look, my pet.
She's not well,
she's all hot.
It was nice, but I drank too much.
You okay?
I want a child, Philippe.
Must we talk about that?
Yes, I think we must.
No, I'm exhausted
I'm going to bed.
I filed for adoption last summer.
A social worker will be visiting
in the new year.
Are you serious?
Yes, I am.
You could've told me.
Why? You'd have said no.
We don't have the right to adopt.
Unless I pass myself off
as a straight single.
So, what do I do?
You just move out for the visit.
A few days at the most.
All worked out!
Kids all day adorable nephews
what more do you want?
I just want to be a dad.
Manu, we're gay!
So we can't be parents?
- Right.
- Why not?
Two men can't have a baby,
it's not natural.
Nonsense!
Think of the kid, with two dads?
We talked about this.
It'll be clear I'll be the dad.
- And you'll be...
- Nothing at all!
I don't want a child, get it?
Your sister and hubby
who never go out,
who've stopped living...
It scares me.
I'm 40 and I still want to live.
Well, I'm 42 and tired of living
for our petty pleasures.
I'm sick of it
I want something else.
So, I'm asking you now,
once and for all
if one day
you see us with a kid.
You and me yes or no?
Sorry, but it's no.
Morning.
I've been thinking it over...
I'm going ahead
with the adoption request.
Fine.
Philippe, it's vital for me.
Philippe!
It's crazy!
The only stable couple I know
and you're splitting.
It's hopeless!
Why stay with a guy
with no plans?
You could've waited,
talked it over.
We did, but he's set in his ways.
I'm getting old
tired of wasting my time.
You're telling me!
Well, I think it's all there.
Fine.
Don't want to check?
I trust you, thanks.
Don't thank me, I ran into you.
True. Then I won't thank you.
That's better.
Where are you from
with that charming accent?
Argentina.
I studied design here
for three years
and now I want to live here.
It's tough with no work permit
but I manage.
That's why I kind of "forgot"
to reinsure my car.
I get it...
Willies are out!
They're everywhere!
The sports paper...
Perfect!
The Greek Myths...
The Greek Myths?
I'm a doctor, a paediatrician.
I chose this speciality,
as I love children.
I always wanted to have kids
but so far,
it hasn't been possible.
And as time goes by
I feel an increasing need
to be a father.
In fact, it's quite normal.
Why not do this with a woman?
Let's say,
my personal history
has led me to be single
and I don't want to base
my future life
on the hope of a possible meeting.
Very well...
Shall we visit?
Let's go.
This is the kitchen,
with all the basic appliances,
dish-washer, cooker, fridge...
She's my ex.
We're still good friends.
Associates too,
we share the same surgery.
Shall we go on?
So,
this will be the child's room,
I hope...
For now it's a laundry,
but I'll totally redo it.
It has its own bathroom,
in there.
Take a look.
And it gives onto the courtyard.
Cool in summer.
Well, you've seen it all
except the upstairs bedroom...
After you!
I'll be giving your request
initial approval
and you must consult a registered
doctor and psychologist
from this list here.
Wonderful.
So then,
I'll be hearing from you?
You will.
Goodbye, Mr Bernier.
Goodbye, thank you.
Hello?
Cathy?
Someone's at the door.
Call you back.
Yes?
It's Mrs Charpentier!
Sorry, we forgot the photocopies.
Of course, come in.
I'll go get them.
There you go.
I think it's no longer necessary.
Sorry?
You know perfectly well.
Damn!
Mrs Charpentier, wait!
We were drunk, he's a friend
and totally straight.
Dammit!
Think I enjoy
this humiliating farce?
I can be a good father.
Straight or gay,
what matter?
Our job is to take every precaution
for kids already traumatised.
But I'm a paediatrician
I know how to bring up a child!
That's not for me to say.
We have clear instructions.
Listen, you could forget
you ever saw that photo.
For you, it's just a signature.
But for me, it's my whole life.
I beg you!
I can't do that, Mr Bernier.
I'm sorry.
France will change fast
on such issues.
Who'd have imagined
that holy old Spain
would authorise
gay adoption and marriage?
You'll soon have the same problems
