Five Day Lover Page #3

he hunts in Sologne,

he owns a castle in Spain,

and he's been to China.

What about Georges in all this?

Georges... You know him.

He doesn't know anything.

He's happy.

I am thankful for the fact

that he's happy.

A man that lets you sit around.

I can see

that you need another one.

And I don't blame you,

by the way.

What about the other guy?

Is he married?

I don't know. I don't think so.

Lt doesn't matter to me.

I hope you're being careful, at least?

You seem to feel responsible for me.

I have experience.

If you had listened to me...

Look who you're married to.

Whether you like my husband

is not important.

Look at this guy, how funny!

So, you're still a dreamer.

More than ever.

Would you be jealous,

by any chance?

Jealous of what, my God?

The basics.

I have what I need, thank you.

He would be to your liking,

believe me.

Are you in love?

A little.

A lot.

It scares me.

You found a rare gem, in short.

Not at all.

But you would like Antoine

as a lover.

Antoine?

Antoine Chrier.

Nice name, isn't it?

You must have seen him

at the fashion show.

Dark-haired, tall, slender.

The one in the back?

Congratulations.

So you think so as well?

Yes. We talked a little.

He told me that he has

some investment in your house.

So to speak, yes.

What, he doesn't have anything?

He has everything.

He's funny, silly, affectionate,

strong.

That's true.

-I adore him.

-Me too.

Who?

The boy I was telling you about.

Actually, he's probably

waiting for me.

-What time is it?

-It's 5:
00 p.m.

I need to run.

Ill see you soon!

Yes. Run.

And about Georges,

you can count on me.

We're inseparable!

So, are you done with cleaning,

Mrs. Chanut?

Yes.

-Hurry up, she'll be here any minute.

-Yes, Yes.

Carnations are really my favorite.

However, it's a matter of taste.

As long as they please.

Because, say what you like,

you wouldn't buy flowers just for you.

Flowers are for others.

Yes, thank you.

That will be all, Mrs. Chanut.

Oh, I know you need flowers.

Here, let me put some gladiolus

in the bathroom.

No!

Not the gladiolus, I don't think so.

-Okay, I'll be going then.

-Yes.

-And... You know.

-Thank you.

Come in!

Your mouth whispers

What the breeze can't...

It's me again.

Sorry!

Don't be. I just wanted to tell you

that she's here.

Hello, miss!

How are you?

Very well.

That's it, thank you Mrs. Chanut.

Thank you.

Happy Tuesday, Antoine.

Thank you.

You see, I searched to find

the element that would suit you best.

Water, air, earth, fire?

No. Flowers.

I could see you surrounded

with flowers all day long.

-Why not all night long as well?

-Are you staying over tonight?

Yes, I made it work.

Georges went to London

for his horses.

Not another word!

Yes, I assure you.

Georges loves his horses.

Now, listen to me.

No more Georges.

At least not tonight.

Are you going to lock me up?

To the contrary.

I am taking you out!

I want to show you off,

so the whole night can see you.

Do you know whom you should thank

for this water?

Chateaubriand.

He wanted the water to flow here

to wash the blood of the guillotine.

How do you know that?

I like to know things.

Come!

Coach, to Vincennes.

How much did you bet?

I bet 1 0,000 that the loser will win.

-The loser?

-Yes, number nine.

I want to give him a chance

since we're being lucky.

Go! Go, number nine!

There was a horse like this one

at my father's house, among others.

-It had a chest, a nose, some legs...

-Thank God!

-And its thighs...

-Its thighs?

Come on, closer!

Pass him! Yes, bravo!

Right?

Look, number four is passing him.

Closer, closer, closer!

He can't gallop. Bastard!

We're going to get him.

Go ahead!

That's it! We won!

Let's go get our money.

Look, we won

at least 200,000 francs.

Let's spend it all tonight.

I want to have everything.

Yes, that's it.

We'll spend it all.

We're in a hurry.

A big hurry.

But...

-What does Madam want to eat?

-Fish.

Fish! Very well.

-On a lace bed.

-But, Madam...

I want, on a lace bed:

sturgeon, trout, sole, sea bass,

salmon, obviously, and herring.

-But...

-Smoked.

And a little bit of meat.

Okay, so I want a whole veal,

some poultry, and a whole cow.

But, Sir...

Well-done, medium rare,

rare, raw?

Yes... No.

Very, very well-done.

-And also, meat and kidney pie.

-But, Madam...

-And meat and kidney pie.

-But, Sir!

Ah, I also count on you

to have some good cheese.

That, we have.

All of them.

Do you have any cheese curd

from Limousin?

-Alas, no.

-Go get me some.

Are you still hungry?

I'd like some fries.

Stop everything!

I want some fries.

What else?

I feel like singing.

I want strings, singing, and lights!

We love each other

On the shores of the Seine

You are my queen

Sailing on the Seine

It's 5:
00 a.m., Sir.

The sun is going to rise.

Let's not miss this!

Chantilly is funny.

To think that this was all swamps

in ancient times.

And all of a sudden,

it was windows, marble,

and the most beautiful language.

I love you.

We shouldn't stay here.

They're going to open.

There is no room

for us here anymore.

It's so much nicer

when everyone's at work.

I am freezing.

I am burning.

Can I see you again later?

Yes, yes, yes!

Dip your bread in the egg.

And what do we call that?

A "Captain",

in memory of Du Guesclin,

who was the only soldier in his army

who didn't swallow his eggs whole.

Shush!

One does not make noise

while sitting at the dinner table.

Very good.

Listen to the grown-ups.

Mommy?

She's with Madeleine.

Her friend, Madeleine.

You don't like eggs?

Well, then,

let's take you guys to bed.

Mommy will come

give you a kiss later.

Come on!

Let's go take a nap!

Ah, yes.

Of course, she is late.

And you're wondering why.

That's because

she wears high heels.

It's hard to walk with high heels.

Come on, rascals!

That's it.

Yes, of course.

Here.

My little guys.

Yes, hurry up!

I'm home!

You see, they were waiting for you.

Are the little ones sleeping?

I couldn't get here faster.

If you knew what happened to me!

-Your car broke down?

-Yes.

And nobody was there

to change the tire?

That's it.

At last, a driver stopped.

Yes, very elegant, I must say.

Anyway, we got there.

And guess what Madeleine found

when we got there?

-When you arrived at Montfort?

-Yes.

The door was closed,

and she forgot her keys.

How did you know?

It already happened six months ago.

Remember.

-l don't think so.

-Sure, try to remember.

You're annoying me

with your questions.

I didn't ask you anything.

Well, anyway, I am here.

Madeleine is well.

I just went to the archives

to make a copy of the two documents

you asked for.

I would really like to help you

more than I do.

They're talking about promoting me.

-To be a curator?

-Inspector General.

And we would live along the Seine?

As you can see,

my glossary has made waves.

I am moving up the ladder.

I wouldn't be surprised

if they gave me an award.
