Blue Is the Warmest Color Page #8

But...

I often go home alone.

I mean, I'm all alone.

And no boyfriend?

No?

Girlfriend?

No.

I had some stupid flings, but...

nothing concrete.

Anyway, I have a hard time

getting attached.

I can understand.

It's not easy to be a couple.

You still with the girl

who was at our place?

Lise?

You happy?

Yeah.

That's good, then.

Is she nice?

Yeah, she's nice.

I can see her cooking for you

when you get home at night,

giving you flowers

in the morning.

That's her style.

It's especially the kid, Aude...

that I like a lot.

Yeah, she has a kid.

She was very pregnant.

- How old is she?

- Three.

I like her a lot. She's funny.

We get along great.

We clown around together.

I teach her a lot.

And Lise yells at us.

No way.

Two kids in the house is a lot.

It's my family.

And sexually?

Do you enjoy it?

It's...

Lousy?

It's not lousy, but it's...

It's boring.

I don't know, Adle.

It's not like with you.

I miss you.

I miss touching each other,

seeing each other,

breathing in each other's scent.

I want you.

All the time.

No one else.

I miss everything.

But I have to say,

I miss this a lot.

Let me touch you.

Stop.

Don't say you don't want to.

I don't believe it.

I know you miss it too.

Touch.

Stop it.

I can't.

Forgive me. I don't know.

I don't know.

It's beyond my control.

You're forgiven.

You won't see me anymore?

No.

You haven't forgiven me.

Yes, I have.

You don't love me anymore.

Are you sure?

Yes.

I'm with someone else now.

You know that.

But I feel an infinite

tenderness for you.

I always will.

My whole life.

I'm sorry.

You know me.

Sometimes I cry for no reason.

Yeah, I know you

pretty damn well.

Happens to me every time.

I know.

You're always blubbering.

Leave whenever you want.

Yeah, right.

No, really.

I won't bother you again.

You're not bothering me.

Okay, I'm going.

Get going.

Go on, beat it.

Alexandre, wake up.

You just got here.

"No Need" by Alain Bosquet.

Take your time.

What's the hurry?

Pronounce so we all understand.

"No Need" by Alain Bosquet.

"The elephant's trunk

"is for picking up pistachios.

"No need to bend down."

Stop.

Adam, can you continue?

You know where we are?

"The giraffe's neck is..."

Louder, please.

Start from the beginning.

"The giraffe's neck

is for grazing on the stars.

"No need to fly."

Very good.

Prune?

"The chameleon's skin,

"green, blue, purple, white,

"is for hiding from animals.

"No need to run away."

Thank you.

Wassila?

"The poem of the poet

is to say all this

"and thousands and thousands

of other things.

"No need to understand."

I know, I put an H in every word.

I can't believe she came.

It's been ages.

How are you?

I'm great, Adle.

- How are you?

- You're Myrime.

Myrime, exactly.

I haven't seen you in ages.

What a pretty dress.

I love the colour blue.

Thanks. That's nice of you.

Can I ask you something?

My nephew, Nicolas Rouillard.

Ring a bell?

He said his teacher

was named Adle. You?

Seriously. What's he like?

Adorable.

My sister's son.

I wanted you to give me

the scoop on him.

How funny.

Is he a good worker? Really?

A sweetheart.

Cool.

I'm going to go mingle.

We'll talk later.

- See you.

- Ciao.

- Are you okay?

- Yes.

And you?

How did you get here?

By foot. I live nearby.

Nice neighbourhood.

Welcome.

Yeah thanks.

Thanks for inviting me.

It's normal.

- So here are my paintings.

- Okay.

And behind you is a painter

named Ad Bernard.

Okay.

That one is awesome.

It's amazing.

Really.

Everything.

Hello. How are you?

Remember me?

We love it,

but we have a few questions.

That's why I'm here.

Excuse me.

I see old Emma, new Emma,

blue and red.

The life bearer.

She seems totally at peace,

yet there's something

troubling in her eyes.

I like it. I was wondering

what she's thinking.

There's an incipient

happiness, but also

a lot of anguish.

Her gaze is absent,

yet it seems to beckon us

amid all the colours.

I'll be right back.

We'll talk afterwards.

Sarah went to Beaux Arts too.

I love what you do.

I feel a passion, a movement...

in the lines.

Too much talk.

What a pick-up artist.

It's nice to see you.

How do you like it?

It's...

It's breathtaking.

And Joachim's showing her work.

When I got the invitation,

I thought of you both.

She really wanted it.

It was perfect timing.

It's really good.

And you see... you're still here.

It's nice to see.

Okay.

See you later.

Sure thing.

Hi.

You doing okay?

- Enjoying yourself?

- Yeah, it's all right.

- How are you?

- And you?

Yeah, great.

Good to see you.

Same here.

Are you still in movies?

Real estate now.

I'm still doing movies,

but very little.

I was sick of...

rubbing everyone the right way.

Ball-busting directors.

It was a pain.

Better to be a hypocritical salesman.

Like the show?

Not bad.

It's not really my thing.

You're still as beautiful.

Think so?

Even in real life.

That makes you laugh?

At least you're smiling again.

It's not that hard seeing Emma?

No, things are settled between us.

As long as they're settled.

So...

You ever get to New York?

Not yet.

Travelling opens your mind.

Yeah, I know.

Let me steal him for a minute.

- Come on.

- One sec.

It was great.

Thank you very much.

I saw you in a movie.

- Acting suited you.

- Really?
