[ Imitating Vomiting ]

- You are lying.

- I'm not lying.

Listen. I don't know what's

going on with the two of you,

but I will find out.

You can bet on it.

Yeah, all right.

I'm coming.

Hi.

[Coughs]

Oh. Poor baby.

[ Door Closes]

What are you doing?

Um--

I've come here to be with

you until Paolo gets back.

He left in the middle of the night

because he didn't wanna leave you alone,

so as soon as I heard that you're

alone again, I rushed straight over.

No, I meant the knitting.

Ah, this? Um--

You know, we have no way of knowing how long

it's going to be until Paolo gets back.

So l thought I might bring along

something to pass the time.

And I've learned

how to do this ages ago,

but l never confined,because I didn't find

the time, and so I was like, "Why not now?"

- How are you feeling?

- Uh, not too good.

There's a doctor

coming right over.

So you're gonna

have to go right away, love.

- Right away?

- Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, he only sees private

patients, so you can't be here.

Well--

I think I have to

use the bathroom.

No,no,no. No, you can't. I can%?

No, it's- it's broken. There's one in the

caf over the road. Go and use that one.

Wait. Weren't you just

throwing up in there?

Yeah. That's why it's broken.

It's all stopped up.

You don't wanna know

what come out of me.

Derek, What's going on

with Paolo?

I know that you know. Just tell

me, and I'll leave right away.

Right away?

Like a bullet.

All right. I'll tell ya.

But Paolo swore me

to secrecy, right,

'cause he didn't know

how to tell you this.

But this is

the absolute bottom line,

no holds barred,

God's honest truth, right?

Paolo is gay?

Hmm.

Hmm.

You have to be French

to do this.

You're sure

you don't want a fork?

Okay. Hmm. Whatever

Paolo's keeping from you--

and I can guarantee

it's not that he's gay--

there's only

one way to find out.

- You have to follow him.

- Don't be stupid.

I'm not gonna follow him.

Paolo is my fianc.

I trust him completely.

Just out of curiosity,

if I were

going to follow him,

how exactly would I do that?

I [Singing In Italian]

Now you have a bicycle.

Great!

I love it. I didn't even

know they still made these.

No, I got it on eBay. I drove it

all the way here. It's fantastic.

They say it goes

40 kilometers an hour.

Thank you, Paolo.

I'm glad you like it.

But now I have to go.

I have to get the kids.

Ah, when I get back,

I cannot stay,

because I really

have to be with Greta.

Derek will be here

with you, okay?

Ah, the Derek

who wanted my phone number?

Yes. Ah, I finally

get to meet him.

Perfect. Ciao.

Ciao!

[ Engine Starts]

[ Engine Revving ]

Ah.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Screams ]

Putain!

[Applause ]

Ccile?

Derek.

Oui. Uh--

I [Julien And Claire

Singing In French ]

There you go.

Are you all right there?

Yeah.

All right.

[ Chuckles ]

Merci.

You all right?

Yeah.

Oh, pardon.

Right.

Uh--

Okay.

Derek--

[ Man Screams ] [ Paolo]

You just killed me again.

Why do you keep doing that?

We are on the same team.

I'm sorry.

Did I do that?

I must have pushed the wrong button.

Restore yourself.

Okay, but shoot at the red guys.

We are the blue team. We are in-

You just did it again. You

pushed me off the ledge!

You know how many times

you killed me tonight?

Huh?

All right. We don't have to play.

No more.

Stop this game.

Actually, I wanted

to continue something...

that we started yesterday,

and we didn't finish.

Um--

Paolo, not tonight.

[Alarm Clock Beeping ]

What time is it?

6:
30.

Go back to sleep.

Where are you going?

I'm going jogging.

Same as always.

Ja, ja.

Same as always.

[ Door Opens, Closes]

[ Dog Barks ]

[Toy Squeaks Loudly]

[Ccile Moaning ]

Oh, yeah!

[ panting, Moaning ]

- What the hell are you doing? - What's

it look like I'm doing, man? Go away!

Stop it. The woman has a

broken leg and a broken arm.

Well, it don't seem

to bother her, does it?

Well, it bothers me.

You'll make it worse.

I'm not making it worse. We've worked it

out, and she's doing just fine, ain't you?

Yeah, I'm doing just fine. I really am.

Now go away.

I go away?

Stop it.

- There are children in the other room.

- The children are asleep-

or at least they were till you came

in here and started shouting at us.

Derek, you were supposed

to be taking care of Cecile.

I am taking care of Ccile.

Yeah, he really is

taking care of me.

Ah, really? You know this man has

been married three times already?

Yeah, I know.

I can tell.

Stop it. Stop it.

Basta.

Come on. Out! Out!

[ Cecile ] Okay, you

better go, Derek.

Out! Out! All right, all right.

I'm going, I'm going, I'm going.

By the way, you left

the door open all night.

The kitchen is a mess.

And the motorbike that I just

bought her is on the floor. Huh?

And why there is, like, jelly smashed

all over the kitchen door, huh?

Who do you think is gonna

clean all this up, huh?

[ Scoffs ]

Out.Vai, vai. Out.

Basta. Get out.

Je reviens tout I'heure, mon chri.

I'll be back.

Tout I'heure.

Tout I'heure, my ass.

- [Sighs] - You're gonna

be late for work.

Oh, sh*t.

Sorry I can't hang around. I've

gotta go and meet my, uh, broker.

[Chuckles] In 10 minutes. It's very

important I make it. You know what I mean?

Where is he'? And don't tell

me he's having his nails done.

Second floor.

Door on the left.

I don't understand. I mean, I

thought you didn't want me.

You've got Greta, remember?

I know.

I don't want you,

but I don't like the idea

of Derek having you either.

He's the one

who got me into all this.

It's not fair that

I take care of the children,

like I do the laundry, I do the

cooking, and he shows up for dessert.

[ Knocking ]

I told you to go away!

Shh! The children.

See?

May I come in,

sweetheart?

[ Paolo]

Uh--

[Chuckles] I know it's possible to

jump to the wrong conclusion here.

Really? What conclusion

would that be?

Well, you know--

Actually, I don't, do I? Uh, would you

mind putting on some clothes, dear?

I'm finding this

really distracting.

- I can't.

- I beg your pardon?

I can't put on my clothes. I have a

broken arm and leg. Paolo dresses me.

See how easy it is to jump to the

wrong conclusion? I told you.

Let me introduce you.

Uh, this is Ccile.

It's a girl that

I ran over with my bus.

And, Cecile, this is Greta.

We are getting married. So--

Oh, it's nice to meet you. I heard a lot

about you. I really like your dress.

Yeah? Shut up.

What conclusion, Paolo?

Well, uh- [Julien ] Why

everybody is waking me up?

I sleep late on weekends, Papa.

Me too, Papa.

Did they say "Papa"?

No. I don't--

Is he your father?

[Together]

Mm-hmm.

No. Can we go somewhere else,

talk about this thing--

about the "Papa" thing too?

What conclusion, Paolo?

No. Don't speak in German,

because I don't understand.

I don't understand. [ Italian

] I don't understand.

[Sobbing ]

[ Italian ]

[ Paolo Speaking Italian]

[Children Sobbing ]

Shh. Shh.
