Cousin cousine Page #3

'Really?'

-'Yes.'

We're a special couple.

And we have to remain that.

We will remain that.

Aren't you ready yet?

We have to buy presents

for Jocelyne's wedding.

It's sweet that I can stay with Diane.

I can't stay home alone anymore.

Come, come.

-This time my life is over.

Oh well, I'll try

to be a good grandma.

I'll learn to make jam.

I need red shoes.

I found an old dress that looks

good on me and is back in fashion.

What time is the ceremony?

We have to get up.

You made me laugh so hard last night.

I haven't laughed like that for a long time.

I went to the doctor yesterday

and he said I'm in top shape.

I've never been in such good shape.

Good, let's get up.

-Alright, boss.

The trees are still blooming.

We're always the first to arrive.

I'm not drinking or eating,

because of my bladder.

Isn't that uncle Pascal?

What's going on?

-Why did you do that?

There's a pharmacy along the road.

He's bleeding.

-This is not the end of it.

He's an old business partner

of Pascal's who ran off with money.

He's the father of the bride.

Damn, my glasses.

Broken.

I built it all myself

and next year I'll expand.

I couldn't close today.

Saturdays are always the busiest.

I have pain everywhere.

It's caused by my spine.

Me too. Cervical or lumbar vertebrae?

-Cervical.

Dirty bastard.

Am I getting my money back, crook?

Stop it, you two.

I'll beat him to a pulp.

-Stop it.

Let go of me.

He's going to pay me alright.

I've been operated on twice.

I have two terrible scars. Look.

What do you mean 'yes'?

Are you mad? I have no scars.

Yes, but...

-You're nuts.

A glass of liqueur, sir?

Shall we leave

without saying goodbye?

Look, a leaf consists of three parts.

The leaf base.

The stalk or stem.

The blade with the veins.

The chlorophyll causes the assimilation.

An admirable woman.

She never did anything wrong.

Never says a wrong word.

I like to talk. I talk and talk,

but people don't listen.

Are you listening to me?

-It's all I do.

I know a funny guy not far

from here, who makes terrible souvenirs.

He makes the ugliest

souvenirs sold in France.

Do you want to meet him?

-Of course.

Don't you take pictures anymore?

-No, nobody understands them.

I want to be a rabbit.

-You'd look like a fool.

I want to be like the others.

Closed for no reason.

Come back tomorrow.

That's typical of him.

My father saved that money for me.

But you promised me trucks

and I'm still waiting.

I never received them, but that

has nothing to do with our project.

I'm glad they're making up.

That's enough.

-Let go of me.

Excuse me, sir.

Are you happy?

What time is it?

Ten to five.

Too early to go back.

They're not worried enough yet.

A year ago I wanted to die.

All I thought about was suicide.

But I didn't have the courage.

Did you want to die?

Why?

-I was depressed.

My work, my husband, my son.

Sometimes it's all so ridiculous.

Can I ask you something?

-Go ahead.

If you find me impertinent,

just don't answer.

Have you ever cheated on your husband?

-Yes.

With somebody from work.

He was funny.

It lasted two months.

That was the only time.

And have you cheated on your wife?

You'll be surprised, but never.

-Never?

Never.

I was waiting for you.

Pascal's drunk out of his mind.

Leave me alone.

Excuse me.

He's had a bottle of whisky.

I wanted to stop him and he hit me.

I'm a fish. Catch me.

-That's enough. Get out.

Aren't we allowed to laugh anymore?

We're cousins and you throw me out.

You're an a**hole, just like your father.

Eric, we're going home.

We're going home.

-I'll follow you.

I'm taking my present back.

You have a nice daughter,

but you're even greater, my Biju.

I love you. We should really

marry the mothers, shouldn't we?

There's champagne left.

Let's drink it.

You'd better go to bed.

Maybe you're right.

They have sunlight all day long.

Why don't you stay?

We can have dinner together.

Well, if mum likes it.

Come on up.

I don't want him to get the wrong idea.

I don't want any men anymore.

You said that a year ago as well,

yet you remarried.

This time I mean it, unless something...

-Did he invite you to Sologne?

He talked about Sologne all the time.

At the end I told him to invite me.

He didn't say no. A couple of

days away will do me good.

While the female looks after the young,

the male goes looking for food.

The hours are long

during his absence.

The male returns with worms in

its beak and the young play with them.

Is their apartment bigger then ours?

How many square meters do we have?

-I don't know.

Marthe, how many square meters

is your apartment?

No idea.

Help me push the table aside.

I'm going to bed.

What do you blame society for?

-I don't know.

A lack of imagination.

The people accept anything.

One day, you'll marry.

I'd rather kill somebody.

Quietly plan a murder....

...find a victim and think about

it for months and years...

That's no more absurd than working

every day. It's more fun, actually.

Are you crying?

-No, I'm not crying.

Do you want to go home?

We're going.

-As you wish.

That's funny. They call each other

by their first names.

Karine and I don't do that.

Last night the coin dropped.

What do you mean?

-You slept with her.

No, I didn't.

-You're lying.

Listen, darling. Don't you think...

...that you...

Sorry, do what you like.

I was so happy during

sleep therapy.

I was awake for two hours a day.

Then I went back to sleep,

I'll be cheerful,

so you can be proud of me.

I decided not to bother

other people anymore.

You'll see. I can be funny.

Wasn't I funny a couple

of years ago?

Thanks to your father

I'm flourishing again.

This morning, I listened to

the news again, for the first time.

There was nothing interesting.

I'm going to bottle my wine.

We have at least 400 litres this year.

Imagine my father

marrying your mother.

When will we see each other?

-One of these days?

Maybe we shouldn't see

each other for a while.

I need to talk to you.

-I know what you're going to say.

Anyway...

They're convinced we're doing it.

We had agreed...

-It's a pity.

You're right.

Let's think about us.

It's Saturday tomorrow.

Ok, here, tomorrow at 11 o'clock. We'll

spend the afternoon together.

At 11 in the morning?

Excuse me. Do you know what time it is?

-What do you care?

It's 11.40.

My train stood still

for an hour.

Where are we going?

-No idea.

Do you want to eat something first?

-No, let's not.

I used to work with a dancing teacher

who took his girlfriends here.

Number twelve.

Number six. Eight.

That must have been a long time ago.

-Don't you know...

There must be another place

like it in the neighbourhood.

Hello, madam. Hello, sir.

We'd like a room.

For the afternoon?

-Yes.

Number seven on the first floor.

150 francs, paid in advance, please.

Would you like a drink?

-No, thanks.

Good.

We broke the lamp.

I scratched your back open.

Fourth round.
