Gone with the Woman Page #2

---

I thought I could trust you!

Your relationship with your father

should not affect me.

I see no reason to spend the new year

anywhere near you!

Bloody hell!

Mar...

Marianne!

Marianne!

I figured she would call and say

she had been unreasonable.

Marianne did not call to say

she had been unreasonable.

F***.

I'VE BEEN UNREASONABLE

I've been unreasonable...

I've been unreasonable...

It had taken her four days to realise

that she had been unreasonable.

But now I'm here. Forgive me.

Let's start over again.

You're so cute when you sleep.

You look like you're in love.

Are you in love? With me?

- I don't know...

- That means you are.

But... Are you in love with me?

I think so.

So is ''I don't know'' a stronger

indication than ''I think so''?

It might be...

In that case, I am more in love

with you than you are with me.

That makes me so happy.

...she said. And promised

to fall as deeply in love as I had.

You're the best man we've had.

- But no one is indispensable.

- No?

You've not done a poor job.

But times are tough.

- I may be a man of the future?

- Who knows? Things might pick up.

- Do you think so?

- Absolutely. Perhaps tomorrow.

We give you three months' salary.

It's not about the money.

Then what is it about?

Marianne!

- I got fired.

- Great!

- Aren't you taking this a bit lightly?

- Then we can go on holiday.

Yeah, but...

You're unemployed. I'm a student.

And we have the money.

So are we going?

Travelling puts a strain

on a new relationship.

- Don't say no to romance!

- It's about building a relationship.

- She's given his empty life meaning.

- This will test the relationship.

It's like throwing a new-born child

to the wolves. No!

- Buy a sofa instead.

- No, no! Not a sofa...

I can't.

Where have you been lately?

- Marianne...

- Everything's taken care of.

- That sofa isn't so nice, is it?

- Sure it is.

Let's be totally free.

No mobile phones.

Look. Passports,

money, train tickets...

How can you assume I want to travel

by train? Without asking me?

- Don't you like trains?

- I do, but that's not the point.

- We can fly, if you want.

- No, I don't want to fly.

- I want to go by train!

- Then what's the problem?

You like to travel by train,

and I've bought train tickets.

I wanted to ask Marianne

where this train was going.

Let's live in the present.

And follow our intuitions!

- Do we follow your intuition or mine?

- Who knows?

Maybe we will feel the same.

For a moment I catch myself

in wanting to be like her.

As free-spirited as she is.

TRAIN TO EUROPE:

- Are we there yet?

- No.

- Do we get off here?

- No!

- So where's this train going then?

- To Paris!

- But everybody goes there.

- Have you ever asked yourself why?

- No.

- Then you can do it now!

- Let's get on another train.

- Huh?

Can't you feel it?

We're not wanted here.

I want to stay in Paris.

Marianne was determined

to make Paris a mistake.

What a depressing room!

- I want to be alone a bit today.

- You're not the only one!

Okay...

Go to a laundromat

and do some washing.

I'll be here writing postcards.

Great plan.

- Your coffee, sir.

- Thank you.

- Hello!

- I'm not in the mood for making love.

- Why not?

- I think it's Paris.

This city doesn't inspire love.

- I do.

- This depends on many factors.

A range of moods and emotions

have to click together.

- We're lucky they do sometimes then.

- Yes, that is very lucky!

- Hey...

- Yes?

Can't you feel how hostile

Paris is making us?

Yes.

Suddenly I feel

that we are so incredibly alone.

I've felt like that

since we got here.

- Really?

- Yes.

- I think we should move on.

- Are you sure?

- I'm forcing you.

- No. I don't want to be here anymore.

- I was just wondering...

- What?

- Could you do me doggy style?

- Of course, Marianne.

But we didn't go.

It doesn't matter

if we go today or tomorrow.

Let's live in the present. Come!

I really like this painting.

I see myself in him. Chasing

something big with something small.

You're so charmingly banal sometimes.

That says a lot about you.

I want to buy it.

Go ahead. But don't expect me

to carry it for you.

I never intended

to ask you. Hello?

- She's French. Not English.

- But surely...

Excuse me.

How much is this painting?

The artist doesn't want his work to

Ieave France. You're not French.

The artist doesn't want it

to leave the country.

- I apologise. He just likes it a lot.

- All right. I will try to call him.

- Let's get out of here!

- No! I want that painting on my wall.

To remind me of a revelation

I had while travelling.

- Malheureusement.

- That means no.

- The artist doesn't speak English.

- Huh?

I got the painting.

For a decent price, too.

This is a brand new side of you.

And I really like it!

Then everything clicked again.

I'm starting to see how it works.

It worked quite well for me too.

- Wake up! We're here!

- What?

- This is it!

- Where are we?

I don't know. We're wanted here.

Someone is waiting for us.

No one is waiting for us here.

I was looking for an atmosphere,

and I've found it here.

- So we follow yourintuition.

- Indeed.

We couldn't wait for yours.

We don't even know if you have one!

Come!

- Marianne, what are we up to here?

- None of us knows!

- Probably not.

- I still think we will continue.

And then came perhaps

our most beautiful moment together.

Marianne, look!

Had I succeeded?

Was I head over heels in love?

Stay down.

Wait for me!

Don't go! Wait up!

Wait!

Bloody crap!

It turned out we had slept in

a retired Swedish colonel's garden.

So... You're from Norway?

Just call me Kalle.

Everybody calls me Kalle.

Come this way.

We have visitors! From Norway.

- Hello. Mariann.

- Hi. Marianne.

- Pardon?

- Marianne.

Her name is Marianne!

What a coincidence!

It's nice to have someone to talk to.

We don't often get visitors.

- But in the summer they all come...

- Well, yes.

But less so since I remarried.

- So, you're out travelling?

- Yes, we...

- Could you speak up, please?

- He's hard of hearing.

- Pardon?

- Your membrane!

Are you a hunter, son?

Do you go hunting?

- No, I have never...

- I used to shoot anything that moved.

Now I can't see a damn thing anymore.

Unless it's at close range.

Eat, eat! Make yourselves at home.

And stay as long as you like.

Thank you. You're very kind.

- Eat. Then we'll go for a swim.

- Do you have a swimming pool?

Can you feel it now?

This room has been waiting for us.

- Are you saying it expected us?

- That's exactly what I'm saying.

- What a strange idea. But nice.

- I believe this is our destination.

- Now I feel very left out.

- What are you talking about?

It hurts me to be excluded

just because I have no intuition.

If you don't stop this,

I may very well leave you behind.

Well, I'm sorry.

But I had a difficult night.

- I thought you slept.

- Well, I didn't.

I woke up and cried for a long time.

I thought about my father,
