Bed & Board Page #4

I'm going.

I'll get Alphonse tomorrow

Listen, I'll sleep in the chair...

you can have the bed

Not in the same room!

All right!

Not in the same room!

What a mess!

You left without

waking me this morning!

Mind if I kiss Alphonse?

We had to talk...

remember?

We'll always have time to talk!

Besides, I was late for work

Your parents are coming

for dinner... and to see the baby

Didn't you say no?

How could I?

You're out of your mind!

I haven't told mother...

Call them! Call it off!

It's too late

They've left by now

They'll understand...

when they see all this!

You're disgusting!

What'll my mother think?

Help me!

My manuscript!

A lot you care!

We invited ourselves

Here, take this...

Let's see Alphonse

What's that?

A duck for Alphonse

- Anything wrong?

- I'm fine...

I'm fine!

The duck isn't for you!

You see,

I just read a novel called:

"The Mischievous Duck"

It's about a judge

who falls in love...

with a duck, like this...

his son's toy!

Couldn't happen to Antoine

He loves people, not things...

though he's very partial to yellow!

Just look at him!

He's cute!

He's grown...

Look at the duck!

Come to mama...

He wants to walk... watch!

He's too young!

He is not amused!

I'll call you

Good...

Sorry about tonight... I was tired

We all were...

Don't catch cold

Help me with the mattress

Must we do this?

If I sleep next to you...

the world won't end!

I'm not like you!

I hate what is vague... elusive...

ambiguous...

I like what is clear!

Don't come near me...

don't touch me!

That's the way you want it!

All right!

Goodbye!

TUESDAY:

THURSDAY:

SATURDAY:

I don't know what I'm going to do

You're living alone?

More or less...

Doesn't it bother you?

I don't mind solitude

When I'm alone...

at night... I'm afraid

I'd marry a streetlight

if it could talk!

Oh, it's you...

Antoine came yesterday, so...

Believe me, he'll come back

I don't think so

I handled it badly

Instead of smoothing it over...

I panicked and made it worse

It takes patience.

All men are children

I thought you loved her?

Very much!

At first I couldn't get over

her good manners

So polite!

Funny, yet touching...

Then it got on my nerves!

"Thank you for this..."

"Thank you for that..."

"Thanks one and all!"

I called her "Peggy Proper"

Peggy,

because of her British reserve....

Proper, because she was!

Know what I mean?

I was a virgin...

I'm not proud of it!

I dated as much as I wanted

But I was scared and ignorant...

Imagine:
a virgin at 20!

I was a living anachronism!

I had false ideas about life, too...

But it is fascinating!

No, the truth is...

that life is disgusting!

You should see her smoke!

She doesn't know how

Like an awkward little girl...

acting grown up!

He's really funny

And I'm never bored, with him

Those colds of his!

At first, when he'd sniffle...

I wanted to say:

"Blow your nose!"

Now, when he doesn't sniffle...

I think he's sick!

My husband!

Was Alphonse good?

Fine!

He smiles and blows kisses...

You noticed...

Did you see his tooth?

A little tooth!

I packed your summer clothes

I'll get them another time

Hook me up. I'm late...

He's playing with a program, okay?

No! He'll tear it

I went to the ballet...

What's written on it?

Nureyev's autograph...

We went backstage afterwards

That's so provincial!

Bothering a guy

who's danced for 2 hours!

Now don't start that!

I'm ready to baby-sit

Am I too early? I can come back...

Not at all!

To baby-sit

A taxi, please:
17 rue Descazes

Six minutes?... Thank you

I'm going out...

But you can stay with Alphonse...

I'll walk you down

Goodnight... Be good

Watch TV if you like

Take care of him

Here, this is yours

I gave it to you

It's yours!

Remember how you used to say:

"Take your keys in case we fight?"

You're in a good mood

Surprised?

Coming here, you think...

"She's going to yell at me again!"

- Admit it!

- It's not so!

- You mustn't...

- Oh? I thought...

I just thought...

Let me go!

I was just helping...

I don't need help!

You're a pain!

A real pain!

All you know is what you want!

A kiss when you want it!

Solitude when you want it!

I'm not "yours to command!"

Not any more!

Shut up!

I'm sorry...

I understand...

Oh, I know that line:

"I'm too rotten..."

"for a girl like you!"

I'd never pull that

You have... 100 times!

Put it in your novel!

Well, the truth is...

it's all I think about

That's why I'm so fouled up

Once it's done,

we'll get along better

Don't send me a copy,

I won't read it

You're getting even

with your parents...

washing dirty linen in public

I'm not smart but I know this!

Writing to settle old scores...

isn't art!

I've wondered about that

That's what's bothering me

Do what you must

but leave me alone

I've never had much pride, so...

I can say this:
I still love you

But I'd rather not see you

You can see the baby,

but I won't be home

The taxi's coming...

Where's that cab?

They said 6 minutes...

Anyway, I hope you're happy

I don't think about it

It can't work.

We hardly talk now

You can always smile

That's all we do!

By evening, I have lock-jaw...

from smiling!

Restaurants are hell!

Between courses...

I'm expected to make small talk

I can't even eat!

It's awful...

She thinks I've gone away for 3 days

I pity you!

Where you going?

I don't know...

Can I drop you off?

No, I'm okay...

Just a minute

Do you want me to stay with you?

Want to go to a movie?

No, I'll just go for a walk

You're sweet...

Kiss me...

You are my sister,

my daughter, my mother...

I'd hoped to be your wife...

Wait for me here...

No, no...

I'll be right back!

Don't you like any of them?

I didn't know it was like this...

It's very simple:

You look and choose... then...

Follow me...

It's slow, right now

We used to be busy till the 23rd

Now, everyone's broke by the 15th

The Administration!

When I saw them on TV,

I knew we'd had it!

Not interested in politics?

A little...

Anyway, I agree with you:

They're all bums

Some bums

cost us more than others

"If you don't follow politics..."

"politics will get you in the end!"

The end of the month,

the ends to an end...

the end of a film...

I hate all endings!

What's that?

Nothing...

I said...

you are especially beautiful

Walking in your sleep?

Glad to see you...

Nothing like a good house...

to complete a happy home!

- I owe you 100, right?

- Me?.. No!

Where are you?

In a restaurant

- And?

- And nothing...

Nothing special...

I just wanted to talk to you

Anything wrong?

It's just that...

I'm with someone

Mademoiselle Butterfly?

Right...

I can't take it!

She never talks...

she just keeps smiling!

She expects me to amuse her...

to tell her jokes...

I've had it!

Tonight, I'm not even trying...

Don't be mean

It was good talking to you

Did you make your call?

You should have started

- Finished?

- What's next?

- Some cheese?

- No thanks...

Sorry!

Cheese...
