No, we're not there yet.

She doesn't know.

Why haven't you told her?

We just met.

I can't tell her I don't have a place.

It's awkward.

Where do you see each other?

How do you manage to...

we don't for now.

But that's OK. There's no...

I'll find something.

I will.

Gotta get back.

Do I know you?

What?

That sparrow...

it was staring at us.

What sparrow?

It's gone now.

Back to work.

Ciao.

This works really well!

Right...

Let's practice now.

Follow the line.

And off we go!

Right turn...

Up we go...

And we land!

OK, the wind's the toughest part.

Quoi?

Batman!

Biarritz...

San Sebastian...

Perpignan...

Why would he go to Perpignan?

Let's go.

Whoo!

Wah.

Whoo!

Faster! Faster!

Aah!

Ground control

to major tom

ground control to major tom

take your protein pills

and put your helmet on

10...

ground control

to major tom

...8...

7...

6...

commencing countdown,

engines on

...3...

2...

check ignition,

and may god's love be with you

this is ground control

to major tom

you've really made the grade

and the papers want to know

whose shirts you wear

now it's time to leave

the capsule if you dare

this is major tom

to ground control

I'm stepping

through the door

and I'm floating

in a most peculiar way

and the stars look

very different today

for here am I,

sitting in a tin can

far above...

it's fantastic.

There's nothing there.

If you have a project,

You file it...

I never thought of it.

You've no idea how mad she is...

we're in for a great weekend.

Charlotte!

Call.

Check.

Plus 600.

Get lost!

Is that him?

The sleeping man?

Everyone's gone berserk,

Running around like rabbits

with their heads cut off.

Chickens.

What?

Chickens

with their heads cut off.

Chickens.

That's right.

And what do rabbits do?

Rabbits just f***.

You dummy.

It's impossible to have

a serious conversation with you.

You remember when we used

to go fishing with grandpa?

When you with grandpa.

What?

Oh, my god, you're right.

I was alone.

"Girls talk too much, Gary."

Well, why do you ask?

I don't know.

You think they've got rivers

Here like in Montana?

I would imagine, yes.

Maybe over by Spain.

Right.

I think I'll head that way

Tomorrow, toward the Pyrenees.

Gary, are you sure

you're not too depressed?

I'd really hate that.

No, quite the opposite, actually.

It's strange.

Ever since I decided to stop,

Everything seems more...

even the light seems more

Beautiful, I swear.

I don't know why,

but it's getting to me.

You'll call regularly,

won't you?

I'd like it if you'd call me

Kind of regularly.

I promise I will.

Sue, are you there?

I'm here.

I thought we got cut off.

Okay, I'll let you go now.

I'll call you soon.

And don't worry about me.

Everything is really strange,

But I'm happy, I think.

Okay.

I love you, too.

Welcome to a world of opportunity

All right, time to change back.

1, 2,

3...

Here goes!

No flying. Walk!

It's not working.

How does it go in fairy tales?

Sh*t, I'm hungry!

I need to eat or I'll faint.

I'm hungry!

Everything's weird.

Bingo!

No!

Stop now! Calm down!

Calm down.

Breathe...

Breathe.

Breathe.

Right...

Where's he gone this late?

To buy cigarettes?

To have a drink?

What's this?

...in the future, should the land

be sold to the Chinese?

What am I doing here?

Who's that?

When do you start?

6 pm.

- See you tomorrow, Simon.

- Bye.

Simon?

Right, Simon!

What's that?

A human!

Miss...

Miss...

you're here.

What?

Miss...

can you hear me?

You can see me?

Sorry?

You can see me?

Yes, I can see you.

Can you walk?

You can phone.

Miss!

The window.

Sorry?

Open the window, please.

Oh!

Sorry.

Dsol.

I'm sorry.

Uh...

where to?

Ground floor.

You've lost your shoes.

Like Cinderella.

Cinderella?

"Cendrillon" in French!

Yes.

"Cendrillon?"

Our.

"Cendrillon."

Personne.

"Person?"

Yes,

"Nobody."

But...

okay, "personne" means "nobody."

But you and me...

We're "persons" too...

aren't we?

Yes.

That's weird.

You're right, it's weird.

One word, opposite meanings.

What's the opposite of the opposite?

In French, you mean?

Yes.

I don't know.

"Pareil," the same.

Or "identique," identical

or "semblable," similar.

"Pareil?"

Goodbye then.

Good luck for your trip.

Thank you.

Good luck for you.

Sir!

Excuse me, but what's your name?

Gary Newman.

And yours?

Audrey.

Audrey Camuzet.

Nice to meet you, Audrey.
