Cousin cousine Page #4

Can I cut your nails?

It's almost dark outside.

-What time is it?

6.40.

Good evening. I'd like to know

if you need the room for the night.

Tonight?

Would you like to eat something?

We serve cold meals.

This time they're really worried.

Come in.

Put it there, please.

Do you want to be paid right away?

-Whatever you prefer.

Tomorrow then.

-Alright.

Put the light back on.

I don't know where I am.

As a child, I wanted to be a tramp.

But my parents were against it.

You cut the rabbit in chunks

and marinate them for at least two hours.

For the marinade you need:

three table spoons of olive oil...

...the juice of two lemons...

-Green ones?

Normal lemons and two

tablespoons of ginger.

Did I fall asleep?

Do you blame me?

-Yes. I'm furious.

Everything alright?

Do you need anything?

I have to ask whether you want to stay.

-Absolutely.

Have a nice Sunday.

See you tomorrow.

That's for me.

How are you?

Fine.

Have a nice evening.

And you shut up.

One word and I'm gone.

I'm staying in bed.

-Eric is gone already and I have to go too.

I'm not coming out of this bed

and I'm not selling medications.

Are you sick?

-No, but I don't want to do anything.

Then stay here until you're fed up.

Hello, sir.

-Do I know you?

I'm Mrs Baudoin of the

Aveyronnais society in Paris.

You were at the first meetings.

-Yes, I remember.

Do you still visit our region often?

-During summer. My parents live in Rodez.

I haven't been there for a while.

How was it?

I'm not bad, am I?

Be honest.

-It was good.

Was it good or bad?

-Not bad.

Just not bad?

-It was good.

It was very good.

Are you happy now?

If you're in doubt,

we start again.

Go ahead.

I'm waiting for you.

I want you to take

me out tonight.

Nelsa had to go to a meeting.

You know what I'd like?

To do our first evening over again.

Do you remember the restaurant?

The club where we danced?

-A pilgrimage?

Don't say no. That's all I'm asking.

An evening out.

We were sitting there.

I'm going to work again.

We can't make ends meet with your money.

I'm not blaming you.

I won't bother you.

You just do what you want.

But sometimes, I want to

have you for myself.

You made me laugh so much.

Remember the nonsense you were talking?

That I drank vodka with breakfast.

That I won a beauty contest.

Everybody believed you.

So I can't be that bad, can I?.

Do you know why

I married you?

For your eyes.

I said to myself:

A man with those eyes...

...will never hurt a woman.

Why would I hurt you?

It was the Colibri.

-No, the Arlequin.

The second time, we went

to the Colibri.

Then we're going to the Arlequin, darling.

A pharmacy.

There's a new tranquillizer.

Little green pills.

Would you get them for me?

Undress me. I have a surprise.

Quickly. We only have an hour.

It's for the children,

to make tattoos with.

You can remove it with water.

See, you don't know me. I'm nuts.

I'm so naked now.

We should do something about that.

Get on your side.

What will you do next year?

There are three options.

Grow medicinal plants

in the Provence.

Collect sounds

for a sound archives.

Or play the trumpet at the

other side of the ocean...

...in an orchestra

for people on holiday.

I want to travel, but not as a tourist.

We'll go everywhere,

without knowing if we'll return.

Go away together, that would be great.

I want you to make

me cry once.

I told you that I can't cry

for some reason.

I'll try.

It's not coming off.

-Rub harder.

We should have left already.

Will you teach me to dance?

I'd like to be able to dance

all the dances and special steps.

What an adventure.

Bye, darling.

I'll call you.

I met him in the train.

Your father's a sweetheart,

but we were not meant for each other.

Nice to be back.

Let's go to a bar.

Did you want to come back?

-Thomas was happy when I got on the train.

I always fancied men with problems,

who complain and suffer.

He's happy and doesn't need anybody.

He's happy just watching the stars.

He gets up early and takes care of everything.

It depressed me.

And how are the two of you?

-Fine.

Freedom is so great.

Diane's idea. Once a year,

the children spoil the adults.

They get the groceries

and they cook.

It's good to give children

a sense of reality.

Serge is a magician.

He's about to show us some tricks.

When I started,

I only had one laundry.

Now I have four. And they're trying

to tell me society's bad.

That needs a plaster.

I need to talk to you.

Open that door.

-Sit down.

Are you happy?

I never ask myself that.

-But it is important.

I was happy.

Talk to your sister.

She'll listen to you.

She doesn't understand that a man

has to prove his manhood...

...by making love to other women.

I love Marthe.

I don't want to lose her.

Life's all about family.

And I'm a family man.

She openly flirts with that dancing teacher.

What a role model for our son.

I'm doing it in secret,

so I don't bother anybody.

That's discretion.

Why do you take it out on me?

My brother doesn't want to dance with me.

I'm leaving. That's better.

Karine.

Hi, dad.

Do you know about Karine?

-Yes.

She said goodbye

this morning.

She leaves you

free to make a decision.

Do you want some champagne?

-No, thanks.

I can't leave you.

I just can't.

I'm so unhappy.

Nice Christmas like this. I could just

as well crash the car and us.

After the next bend everything would be over.

-Careful. You'll have an accident.

That would be good. And I won't stop for

a red light, so that we crash into another car.

Don't do it, dad.

-Of course not.

But I like to say it.

Look at your mother.

Look at her well.

She forgets she's a mother.

-Enough.

Dinner's served. Who gets the wine?

-Me.

I've never seen anything

like this on Christmas Eve.

Where could they be?

-They locked themselves in a room.

At least taste this.

-I'm not hungry.

It's delicious goose liver.

-Shut up and eat then.

That man's terrible.

Aren't you ashamed?

Go away.

You're reacting well.

That's enough.

I want to tell them what I think.

-What's the use?

Late mass starts. Come on.

Poor Karine.

I'll be 17 next month.

-Do you still want to kill people?

I changed my mind.

They're too stupid.

Just enjoy it.

If I was your age...

Last week I made love to

a guy. That was cool.

May the Lord bless you. In the name of

the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

He's got a great voice.

Is it good?

Can I get your phone number?

You never know.

Let's unwrap the presents.

Are you coming?

Do it for the children.

We're coming.

Are we leaving quietly or not?

-We're not stooping to their level.

We'll say goodbye.

-Can you close it?

I'm a vampire.

Glad to see you like this. You said you

wanted to break Casanova's record.

How many do you have to go?

-I'm thirty short.

I was wrong again.

They're not here.

Can I make a call? I'm invited to a

Christmas dinner, but I got lost.

I always get lost.

-Please come in, madam.

Hello, doctor?
