- I will never learn!

- It takes time.

I have no time, Bernard

beats me every day.

So do it.

When you're about to fight us,

give him a strong kick in the balls.

You take him by the hair,

hit him and throw him down.

A punch in the face so does not get

up and then a good kick in the mouth!

You'll see that it will

not bother you anymore.

Neil, go get ready.

Immediately!

Go.

Hurry up, in a quarter of an

hour we go to the grandparents.

- I'll see you!

- Hello.

Tom, I do not like you

teaching those things to Neil.

It's wrong.

- Sometimes it's the only way.

- I decide that.

All right.

Excuse me, I got carried away.

I'm sorry. Goodbye..

I know he just wants to help him.

See you soon.

- Ready!

- Then we go.

Grandma made sweet potato cake.

- What a squalor!

- You are shabby!

F***!

- What are you doing here?

- I...

I keep an eye on the house.

What's wearing?

This is Phil's bathrobe.

Yup,

I know.

I KNOW.

Phil left.

- Did Julie talk about the two of us?

- NO.

Really '?

Julie needs someone to stay

home when she's not there

to protect...

the children. What's he doing here?

I'm trying to explain them.

Now I live here with Julie...

If HG Vada.

Do not scream!

Please do not shout.

Do not scream!

Rita!

Good ..

That's better.

She does not know,

let me explain.

Casa Dreyer, leave

name and phone number.

We will call you as soon as possible.

Julie, it's still me.

I've been calling you all week.

I know you're angry, but you

could at least call me back.

Honey, I'm sorry for what I did.

I miss you, call me back.

I love you.

"Julie, I miss you.

I'm sorry, I love you so much.

Phil."

Mom, is Rita here?

- I do not see your car.

- Maybe Rudolph came home.

Holly 1.

One punch, two...

- Stop that!

- I was joking!

Damn, everybody's looking for me!

Hi, I'm Rita.

Leave a short message,

not the story of your life.

Rita, where did you go?

Maybe you're in Mexico with

some guy, but I'm worried.

You have not left a message.

Rita, damn it! Call me soon!

I just saw someone in the garden,

help me close the windows.

- What's he going to do '? Will it rise on the ledge '?

- I'm serious!

Get up, you have to help me!

- Where is your sister '?

- I do not know.

Hello Mom.

I do not want you to play here.

Take the toys and go downstairs.

All right.

Hi, Julie.

I was passing by here and I thought

we could go to the cinema tonight.

I read that there is a circus in the city.

Would you like to... NO?

Then it will be better for me to go.

I have to go, baby.

I have to go, baby.

Julie, let's have a coffee '?

Hi, Julie.

I was passing by here and

I thought that tonight

we could go to the cinema.

Hi, Neil.

Where's your bodyguard?

- It's not my bodyguard.

- If he was not there, I would break you.

Now I'll settle you.

Get up!

Oscar!

What the hell...

- Yup '?

- Hello.

I was passing by here, I saw his

car in the courtyard and...

I thought maybe we could

go to the cinema tonight.

Damn!

To tell the truth...

- I chose a bad time '?

- Yes, I'm a bit dazed.

- What's wrong '?

- Anything.

It's strange,

but it seems to me that our

little fish has grown at night.

- Fish grow.

- Yes, but this is different.

I do not think it's the same fish.

- Maybe that friend who was here...

- Rita? Did you see it?

So how do you know she was left here?

I imagined.

Julie, let's go to the cinema!

Tom, thank you. You're very kind,

but it's not a good time.

Excuse me, I have to go now.

I only went to say hello.

I read in the newspaper that

there is a circus in the city.

Would you come to the circus with me?

Now I really have to go.

Maybe it would be better if you

did not show up for a while.

Take a coffe '?

- No...

- Yup.

- Please!

- NO!

- Just a coffee.

- No!

Please!

I have to go!

Please.

F***!

Julie, you can not do this to me!

Come on!

Julie, I need to talk to you.

Tom, I told you not

to come here anymore.

I know, but I'd like to see you.

- Julie, open and let me in.

- No! Tom, please, go away.

And your boyfriend '?

No not at all.

He's just one of the strange

characters around here.

What are you doing here '?

It was the only way to talk to you

since you did not answer my calls.

- What calls'?

- I called every day...

and I left a message.

I did not receive it.

I called him, you must believe me.

And your friend?

Pope!

Hello guys!

- I missed you!

- Are you coming home?

I still do not know, honey.

At the kindergarten I made

a drawing by Rudolph.

- Really '?

- Dad, guess!

At school there's a guy named Bernard

and it bothers me every day.

- So I got it...

- Guys!

Neil, sorry.

Daddy and we have to talk,

can you take Holly upstairs?

Tell me later.

So, your friend?

It's over.

The truth is that there has

never been anything serious.

And you expect me to believe you?

It is the truth.

I've never loved

anyone except you.

And I'm sorry...

NO!

Do you really think it's that easy?

No, I did something

incredibly stupid

and I'm sorry. I do not know what...

You're a bastard!

Forgive me!

Please.

Julie, do not hate me.

Please forgive me.

I love you.

I'm really sorry.

I did not mean to hurt you.

I want to forgive me.

I love you.

I love you too.

We have many things to fix.

Are you willing to try '?

Yup.

So I'm going to get

my things, all right?

I will forgive myself,

I promise you.

- Hello!

- Dad, come back to live here?

That's right!

I'm going to get my clothes and

then I'll be back forever.

- Can I come?

- What do you say?

- Then I come too.

- All right.

- Both.

- Hurry up.

- Hello Mom.

- Hi, honey.

My God!

Rita!

You did not have to get it back.

He does not deserve it.

It was I who prevented

Holly from drowning.

Did you know that '?

I was the one who taught

Neil to defend himself.

You did not have to lie to me!

I do not understand.

When did I lie to you?

You invited me to you.

Do you remember? You invited me and

then you slammed the door in my face!

Come here u

leave me

come here.

I protected you. He was going

with another, did you know him?

Leave me immediately!

Iasciami.

- Julie...

- You're right, Tom.

I did not have to let him come back.

You did not have to '?

So why did you do it?

Children need their father.

I could be the father!

Of course, you could be you.

I could be the father.

But Tom, you never

told me anything.

You...

I did not know you saved Holly

and you never told me how you

feel about Holly and Neil.

I did not know your intentions.

I did not know.

Now you know.

True??

I did not know I could choose.

If I had known I could choose,

I would not let him come back.

But I did not know it.

Do you understand me '? I did not know.

Yup.

- Now you understand '?

- Yup.

Yes I understand.

Tom, why do not we go downstairs?

Let's go downstairs and then

when Phil will arrive...

we will tell him that

he no longer needs him.

We'll tell her.

Good.

- Let's do like this '?

- All right.
