Jaloux

JEALOUS:

The table's not in such great shape.

Yeah, you climbed up on it yesterday.

Don't you remember?

So that's what's on your mind!

I was just fooling around, OK?

- Did it bother you?

- Yes.

But apparently it shouldn't have.

I'm not overreacting,

other people told me, too.

Yesterday, Mike said to me:

"This doesn't bother you?"

Don't you see yourself?

What does Mike have to do with this?

The door's open.

Why do you think he didn't leave

until 3:
00 a.m.?

- Come on, he knows...

- Why did he stay?

Don't you think he had a huge hard-on?

Maybe he just likes to have fun!

Aude was just next to us!

I never would've done anything

in front of everyone!

You're always imagining things!

I had fun, nothing happened.

Yeah, I know you had fun.

Don't worry!

I saw that you were having fun.

It was good to have everyone together.

Your mom was there.

It was a really nice dinner.

It was a lot of fun.

I'm sure you didn't call

to talk about your mom.

What's up?

I was wondering

if I could borrow your cottage.

Does this weekend work for you?

Yeah, this weekend's fine.

I was thinking of going up

with Hlne, but...

OK, well, I don't want

to ruin your plans.

I promised you could,

and a promise is a promise.

- You sure you don't mind?

- No problem at all.

You'll have to talk to the neighbour.

He has a spare set of keys.

I'll give you his number.

- What's his name?

- Benot, but you can call him Ben.

- I can call him Ben?

- For sure.

Hi, this is Benot Gignac.

I'm not available right now.

Leave a message

and I'll get right back to you.

Hello, Benot.

It's Thomas Legault,

Michel Legault's nephew.

I'm calling because he's lending me

his cottage this weekend,

and he told me to call you

to get the keys.

So, give me a call back.

My number is 585...

Hello.

- The voicemail box of...

- Benot Gignac.

...is full.

To leave a callback number--

I know what you're thinking, but...

- No expectations, OK?

- No, exactly.

We'll see how things go.

What is there to do at the cottage?

There are some trails.

We'll go for walks, wow!

Yeah.

There's a fire pit.

Cool.

There's a nice lake.

You'll like the lake.

- Right by the cottage?

- Yeah, it has lake access.

There are a couple of boats, too.

Are you going to swim?

We'll see.

I brought my bathing suit.

You're just jealous!

Not of me,

but of the things you can't do!

Oh, is that it?

You think being faithful

is silly, right?

I'm not saying that! It's just...

You badger me, you question me,

and it's infuriating!

But you don't see yourself!

What do I do that you don't do?

You do it on purpose.

I do it on purpose.

OK, because...

You're nave.

Have you ever wanted to kiss

another girl?

Yes.

Did you do it?

Get out.

We were almost there.

Damn it...

What do we do?

We're not far.

What are you doing?

I'm trying to reach the neighbour.

Why?

Because he has the keys.

What keys?

The keys to the cottage.

He doesn't have the keys.

I'm not even surprised.

I don't believe this.

I'm not moving anymore.

This is it!

That's weird!

They keys are in the lock.

Yes?

I'm Michel's nephew, the owner's nephew.

You came up with Michel?

No, Michel's not here.

He lent us the cottage for the weekend.

The key was in the door, so we came in.

Yeah, that's my key.

OK, so you're...

Ben?

The neighbour, yes.

Hi! I was supposed to pick up

the key at your place.

I called several times,

but there was no answer.

No, I wasn't at my cottage.

So, this is my key?

- Right?

- Yeah.

It's strange, I didn't hear you pull up.

No, we... Hang on, I'll close the door.

You were expecting us?

Well...

Actually, I was expecting Michel

and his girlfriend.

Well, he was supposed to come up...

Do you mind if I look around?

No, go ahead.

I came over earlier.

I made dinner.

We invite ourselves over up here.

- I knew he was coming.

- It's nice upstairs.

Yeah, it's nice.

Well...

OK, so...

When is Michel coming?

- On Monday, I think.

- OK.

Would you mind if I had a glass of wine?

No...

It's been a long day.

I'll pour some for you.

I cooked up some boar and some quail.

Come on.

We don't want this to go to waste.

You do know Michel!

This is the kind of thing he likes.

I know what he likes.

Yeah. Would you look at this!

Well, to chance!

To chance!

To chance! I like chance.

Really?

How long have you been together?

It'll be eight years in November.

Eight years.

So you're in your seventh year now.

That's a tough time.

- Really?

- No.

It's going great.

The seven-year itch is a myth.

Really?

Monogamy's a myth.

What do you mean?

Monogamy, in today's world...

Monogamy with a capital M?

Yes, monogamy with a capital M.

Why is it a myth?

Because it never works?

Well, because, by nature,

men and women...

aren't meant to be together forever.

It never works.

Why don't people get

that it doesn't work?

Because it's human nature.

Human nature?

You feel responsible

for the other person,

you want to possess them.

It's normal to want to possess someone.

- It's normal, but...

- So to speak.

But sometimes...

Well, I...

The soup is good.

- Thanks.

- Yeah, thanks.

This place brings back memories.

Of my cousins.

I can imagine.

It seemed bigger back then, though.

Yeah.

It's been a while since you were here?

I didn't even know you when...

It's been 15 years

since I was last here.

- Fifteen years!

- Since the last time.

It's been 15 years since you were here.

OK.

Did you sleep well?

Yeah, very well.

Where did you sleep?

On the couch downstairs.

We can go back if you want.

I'll get the car fixed

and we can go back tonight.

No, we're here. Might as well stay.

We have to spend some time together

to see that it's not working, no?

It's Ben!

Of course.

Yippee!

I'm just trying to be polite.

Are we going to spend

the whole weekend with him?

I've got a joke for you!

One butt cheek says

to the other butt cheek:

"It's amazing that we're still together

"after all the sh*t

that's gone down between us!"

- Drink up.

- I'm almost done.

We're moving on to more serious things.

Look!

I hurt myself.

What's the matter?

- I...

- What's going on?

I hurt myself.

We have to take care of this.

We'll use vodka to disinfect it!

It's going to burn.

Yes, but it's the best disinfectant.

- This isn't pretty...

- What are you doing?

- This isn't pretty, pretty thing.

- What are you doing?

You'll see.

Sorry...

It just stings a bit.

It's nice out, huh?

Waking up wasn't too hard?

No, it was all right.

Paddling around the lake is really nice.

Do you think we could go for a ride?

Sure.

You coming?

Thanks!

I feel like swimming.

We could swim here.

I'm not swimming here, that's for sure.

Go in wearing nothing

but your life jacket?

That'd be hot, with my socks on, too.

Stop it, Marianne!

Come on!

- This is nice, huh?

- Definitely.

You didn't have to be aggressive.

What do you mean?

We take his boat.

We leave him there.

He's been waiting for an hour.
