Et soudain tout le monde me manque Page #3

---

Oldies cant change.

Everyone knows that!

- Playing or what?

- You can see were talking!

My father wanted me to study

and get an education.

He says clownings a migrant job.

My father said jazz was for schwarz...

Negroes.

We dont say Negro.

He insisted I take over the store.

I resisted for a while.

I joined a jazz quartet,

travelled the world.

Eventually I took over the store.

- Any regrets?

- No.

When Im away from my family,

I suddenly miss everyone.

But thats me.

Everybodys different.

Birdie!

Its interesting

that some experts say

Balzac was inspired by King Lear

when he wrote Father Goriot.

Whos read King Lear?

Its by Shakes...

Stop that.

What happens in King Lear?

Scared of destroying

the love she has for her father,

she refuses

to submit to emotional blackmail.

What does the father do?

Disinherits her.

Ill tell you the rest,

which is important due to

the similarities to Father Goriot...

Hi!

I was really impressed, you know.

Youre so cool

with that bunch of roughnecks.

They listen to you. Its incredible.

- Amazing. Miraculous!

- What do you want, Dad?

I came to apologise.

- So...

- So what?

- Then you have to apologise!

- I just did.

You said you came to do that

but you didnt do it.

I brought you a snack.

- What is it?

- Chouquettes.

I dont know

if theyre as good as Lefebvres...

Bertrand?

I didnt say anything!

Whats on the window?

- Dont touch. Its Justines.

- Justine?

Yes, Justine.

Bloody good!

That mans son.

Who is this?

Her new flame.

What?

Another new flame?

- Where does he come from?

- I dont know, Dad.

He sells shoes

next door to her office, I think.

Shoes?

Like shoe shoes?

You coming?

Hey, Mohammed Illy!

- That will do!

- Making fun of me?

- You liked it?

- You were like Pierre Cosso.

- Wasnt he a kick boxer?

- Ready for Love 2.

- See who he is?

- Cosso in Ready for Love 2.

- You go to movies?

- Yes, but that one...

What Sami really wants to be

is an X-ray model.

Did you do that?

Yes.

So you dont think its lousy?

I dont know much about it.

Its the most beautiful thing

ever done by anyone I know.

I have to go.

- Wait, I...

- I dont have time.

- Is there a problem?

- No.

Ill see you later, then?

Im flat out.

Ill be in touch.

Wait! What will I do here?

Youre not leaving?

No.

No, Im staying here.

I have to get something.

Can you wait for me?

Wait!

A naked mans in our living room!

Coffee?

May I help you?

I dont know.

- Do you have this in a 41?

- Yes, I should. Ill get them.

Doesnt it bother you

touching peoples feet?

No, its all right.

Still, it must be hard at times.

The odours, shapes, bunions...

- It doesnt bother me.

- You unwind somehow.

Do you have a hobby? A release?

- A sport, maybe?

- I box.

I knew it.

My jobs easier, Im in the rag trade.

So I have an easier hobby.

I play golf.

- Do you play?

- No.

- Theyre really comfortable.

- Crocs!

Were the only ones who stock

the white soles. So take advantage!

Ill take them.

You know Justine, dont you?

At the radiology clinic next door?

Yes.

I saw you. Entirely reconstructed

in X-rays. Its great!

Justine and you, you...?

She often changes boyfriends.

Its hard to follow.

And congratulations!

Your dick...

Youre really well hung.

- Its fine, Im her father.

- Her father!

- How about a coffee?

- Stop it!

Hey, Sami, whats going on?

Its fine. Hes a pervert.

Hes not a pervert, hes a customer.

Sir, I think it would be best

if you leave.

Hello.

- Justine, please.

- An appointment?

- No.

- Its appointment only.

Just say Id like to speak to her.

Eli Dhrey.

D- H-R-E-Y... Its my name.

- Im her father.

- Just have a seat.

- I prefer to stand.

- Sit. Its procedure.

- I prefer...

- Ill call security.

Justine, your fathers here.

Is Eli Dhrey your old man?

I swear to God, hes here.

Hes as tiresome as you are.

So whats up?

Do me.

Excuse me?

- Do me!

- I dont get it.

I saw what you did at Doms.

One question...

Do you do 3D X-rays, too?

Yes, we have a machine.

I was thinking...

Id like you to reconstruct me.

As a standing man.

No.

No?

Why not?

After you said

the drawing I gave you was awful...

Ever since that day,

the answer is no.

I said that for your own good.

Without criticism, no one progresses.

Any artist...

Coltrane would, if he were alive.

- I was three.

- So?

If a kid gives you three brown lines,

a yellow scribble and a red circle,

you say its good?

Yes, you say its good.

Naturally.

- So you have to lie.

- Yes, you do.

And if you dont?

You hurt someone.

What are you doing?

Your X-ray, Dad.

Isnt that what you wanted?

- Yes!

- Nice, eh?

- What a beauty!

- Yes.

Hurry up.

- Lie down.

- Let me see!

- Dont touch. Come on.

- Amazing!

- You aim with this?

- Exactly. Move.

- Strange!

- Go around the other side.

- Cecilia!

- What?

- Let me by.

- Go ahead.

Go on!

- Stand there.

- Right.

Sh*t, the doctors coming.

- What?

- Get up! The doctors coming!

- Hello.

- Everything all right, Justine?

Im her dad.

Id rather you didnt sit there.

Its not hygienic for the patients.

Thats not a toy, Justine.

What a happy family!

More weird than happy.

Is that really my heart?

Can you believe it?

What?

I dont know.

Tell me!

Am I going to die, is that it?

Am I going to die?

Im not a doctor, Dad.

I cant give you a diagnosis.

Promise youll call me?

As soon as I see the cardiologist.

I could be wrong. That happens.

I know that, thanks.

Sami?

Sami, wait!

- Sorry...

- Let me be!

I dont want to deal

with your crap situations. Get it?

Leave me alone. Now piss off.

Eli?

Go on, piss off.

Bloody hell, piss off!

It seems you have valvulopathy.

Its not serious at the moment.

But you may play

a game of badminton one day

or lift a heavy log and boom!

Suddenly, coronary thrombosis.

Well, I have a gas fireplace

and I never play badminton.

Croquet, maybe?

- No.

- Too bad. Croquets great.

So relaxing...

So were going to do

a valve transplant.

There are two options.

A mechanical prosthesis

is reliable for 20 years

but requires

daily anticoagulant treatment for life

and increases the risk of endocarditis.

An organic prosthesis

lasts about 10 years,

is well-tolerated by the organism

and has no need of an anticoagulant.

Its cardiac tissue taken from pigs.

A pigs valve?

Is that kosher?

That doesnt work.

Why is it not working?

Its not working!

Bloody hell!

Whats up?

I lost my muse.

The shoe salesman?

The boxer.

Pigs heart

So what did Bouillon say?

Bouillon?

The cardiologist.

What a dumb name.

Well, he...

Arent you eating?

Im not very hungry.

Not hungry at LEntrecte?

Are you kidding?

Theres parsley, lemon,

basil...

Whats wrong?

You know theres no basil

in the sauce.

I have an unhappy love affair.

- The shoe salesman?

- How do you know?

Dom told me.

Did he say why?

I know why.

Why, then?

- Is there a problem, Miss?

- No, everythings fine.

Did he give you a reason or not?
