- l'll also return to work.

That wasn't good. Now l can't stop

thinking of them.

l'm sorry.

We don't talk more about them,

agree? - Yes.

Rachel?

Are you serious?

- Try it on!

That makes my butt too. No,

something so sporty isn't me.

But why not give it to Teri?

- She doesn't fancy sportswear.

But that's more her style.

- What do you mean?

She likes this American style;

''l feel comfortable in my clothes,

in my body, l like everyone and

l'm constantly kissing anybody.

You're wrong. l would have noticed that.

- What is it then you noticed?

First, that she's full of energy

and that she's very optimistic.

They tries out a lot, dares

much. She's simply very open.

Yes, she has something of

a little scout girl.

Nonsense!

Wasteful, that's it.

- What?

Wasteful.

- Wasteful? Does she even come anal?

Good heavens, what kind

of a question is that?

Do you know what wasteful means?

- Of course. l know it exactly.

They slowly get expensive for us.

How many?.

- Seven.

Wait! Take that for Margot!

- You've lost a lot of weight.

l don't know.

- Hey, you must know that.

Well, maybe a little.

- Stop it, now don't be so shy!

You look great! What?

- Nothing.

Of course, nothing. You're

wiggling with your bum...

l don't wiggle with my bum!

- Do you have a boyfriend?

You have a friend!

No!

- Yes, you made ''Pff''.

You've betrayed yourself, my dear.

- Now stop that rubbish!

Franck shall not hear it, or what?

- Franck? - Yes?

My sister says that

l have a boyfriend!

Nonsense!

Don't try, you're blushing.

Like a tomato!

The lost son had to come home,

because he lived so lavishly?.

Yes. Once there was a man,

a wealthy landowner,

who had two sons.

One day one of them demanded

his inheritance, the younger one.

He wants to leave his parents' house,

travel around and live his own life.

The father agrees,

and the younger son moves away.

Far away, with bag

and pack into the unknown.

Within the shortest time he uses

his entire inheritance, and it's all gone.

What did he spent it on?

- Well, on whores!

Rachel, please!

So, in short:
''He is penniless,

when suddenly a terrible famine

comes. The entire country is affected.

He has to look for work. Someone offers

him a job as a swineherd.

And as he soon finds that his food

much worse than that of the pigs.

He remembers that his father,

when times were very poor,

served crumbs to the servants, or whatever

remained from their meals.

And so he returns to his

father who's reaction is amazing.

He calls his servants and says:

Get the most gorgeous robes

and wrap my son into them!

The fatted calf must be slaughtered.

lt will make a feast.

Let's celebrate huge!''

That was it?

But no! Meanwhile, the eldest son

works in the fields.

ln the evening he returns from his work,

enters the estate,

where there's loud music and singing.

He asks a servant: ''What is celebrated?''

The servant replied:

''Your brother is here!

And your father had the fatted calf

slaughtered to celebrate him.

The older son goes to his father

and says angrily: Why that?

l've always obeyed you, and

worked for you,

and very hard. And you haven't

even given me a buck.

But for my brother,

who has squandered all your money,

you even slaughter the fatted calf!

The father looks at his

eldest son and says:

My child, you and l,

we always lived together.

But today there's a reason

to be happy and celebrate.

Because your brother's been dead

Now he lives again.

He was lost and is found again.

A silly story. Why

was the son so wasteful?

Well, because he had spent the whole fortune.

He has wasted the money.

Yeah, right, that's nothing

positive. This has nothing generous.

Wasteful people aren't

generous, but irresponsible.

Just a moment, it's not that. The tale

reveals something entirely different.

What's the most wonderful in life?

lf someone who has sinned

regrets and re-starts.

l think that's bullshit.

Be glad, then you'll get a place in

paradise although you had a lover.

Only if she regrets.

Of course, who's your

Lovers? Do we know him?

Enjoy it, my love.

When you've squandered everything,

then you just come back home.

We're not opening a shop anyway.

- And why not?

Because of the bank.

We'll wait until next year.

You stay where you are?

- Yes, for now.

Did you give that to her, or l?

lt was me.

lt's an amulet.

- An amulet.

Will you visit us in the weekend?

No, l can't, we'll have

guests. Rachel, your pocket.

Thank you.

- Rachel, and you?

Doesn't work, we have a lot to do.

- You don't need to mow the lawn.

You could go on a forest

promenade with Margot.

No, my book needs to be finished

l'll work through.

Too bad, we have a great house

in the country, and no one uses it.

Not next weekend,

but the one after next maybe.

Take care.

Salut!

Look at me!

Come on, look at me!

You shall look at me!

She sleeps.

- What did you read for her?.

Asterix in Britain.

- Seriously?. No!

Yes, yes!

- Pretty daring.

Will you explain the comic

and the comic terms to her?.

Of course.

- What does SPQR mean?

Senate and People of Rome.

Never heard of it? - No.

l have look for your black

sweater. Where is it?

ln the wash.

Are you in the mood for caramel icecream?

- Do we have some?

A rest.

Beat me!

- What?

Beat my cheek! Come on, like this!

The cheek?

Well, it didn't hurt.

- l'm sorry, l'll try again.

No, no, leave it! Let's

stick to the usual way.

Wow, nice eh?

Back there the office.

And group lessons are held there.

With a parquet floor it will

look really noble.

Teri's appearance in the photo

hit me completely off guard.

And also that Franck obviously

looked ''amorous'' at her.

Now l didn't ask myself anymore

what Franck liked about Teri,

but what he still

liked with me.

Vincent couldn't say often enough,

that he was in the same situation,

namely, to be in love with

two women, l didn't care.

For the first time in my life

l suspected Franck

to be a man like all the others.

We were soon tormented by

the simple question:

ls it possible to love two

persons at the same time?

And most important:

Should we let it happen?

Rachel, what's the matter?.

- What's going on?

ls anything wrong?. - l don't want

the stay over night anymore.

What?

l don't want us to stay at

the other over night anymore.

Vincent and l are no couple

You two are not a couple.

There's no reason

to spend the night together.

Okay, Rachel, that's no problem.

l have nothing against the sex, but

l think we need new rules.

Well. There have never been rules,

that's the point, right?

Yeah, right. - Was it necessary

to come with it right now?

Yes.

- Was it so urgent?

Yes.

l'll make tea.

Everyone has their own clothes.

That's why l think we shouldn't

borrow from the others,

even if it feels good.

And l don't anymore, that Franck

caresses your feet in front of my eyes,

like the other night, Teri.

l see.

l'm sorry that l woke you up.
