Jaloux Page #2

No, he offered.

He made us dinner yesterday.

I'm just trying to be polite.

It's not a big deal...

Don't worry,

no one's feelings are getting hurt.

He offered, so we went.

Did you want him to come with us?

You drive me crazy.

This would be the right time

for a fish to jump out of the water.

Come on!

What's he doing? What's his problem?

He doesn't like the water.

Oh, I see.

Let's play a joke on him.

- What?

- Let's play a joke on him.

What?

Thomas, you're missing out.

Would you help me up?

Stop! Stop!

- Sorry.

- Thomas...

It was a joke!

Very good one.

- Thomas!

- Never mind.

He was just joking around.

He didn't know.

- I said you didn't like the water.

- Of course!

You're stupid, or what?

Thomas?

Damn it!

Holy sh*t, Legault!

- Yeah?

- How's it going?

Hi.

You don't recognize me?

I'm sure I know you, but...

Steve! Man, it's been a long time.

Yeah! Is that your car?

I'm in the ditch.

I can't get it to start.

Can you bring me into town?

I'd like to find a garage.

Sure! Grab your things.

You'll have to squeeze in the back.

I'll just lock the doors.

Did you ever ride a horse naked?

Did you ever do that?

All the time, man.

We called it the Adam and Eve trip.

We were really into it.

All weekend long.

You get on the horse naked, no saddle...

I thought the horse was riding you.

You're sick.

Since you got Internet access

at home, you've got funny ideas.

Ride the horse, on top...

Wasn't he bringing me to a garage?

My uncle's got a garage.

We'll send you a tow truck. Chill out.

Your uncle has a tow truck?

Yes, he has a tow truck.

He's got a full garage. Relax.

Have fun.

Sorry.

Would you like to go for a walk?

That is so not funny.

I'll get my things. Come in.

Shall we?

I'm just going to take a picture.

The light is so nice. It's incredible.

You're photogenic.

- I'll take one of you.

- No!

Ah, you see?

It's...

It's beautiful.

Thank you.

How did you find this spot?

I've been coming here forever.

Sometimes...

there are places

that just call out to you.

Yeah, the bugs are out!

How's your wound?

You want to see?

Yes, the doctor's doing his rounds.

- It's just the Band-aid.

- Let me see.

It's all right. It's just a scratch.

- You sure?

- Yeah, it's fine.

Just when you think

you're away from it all,

you hear the sounds of civilization!

Should we go back?

Thomas?

There's a nice fire pit here.

We could make a fire later.

- Maybe later.

- That'd be cool.

Great.

OK.

Have a good nap.

Move! Watch out!

I'd move over if I were you.

I'll just pour on a bit.

Be careful with that.

With what? It's a lighter!

Merry Christmas!

- His cousin was...

- Rousseau.

Rousseau, that's right. Simon and Ren.

What they would do was park their truck

five minutes from a cottage.

The people inside

weren't from around here.

They were on vacation.

They were renting the cottage.

They'd walk up slowly

and wait for the people to go to bed.

They'd wait for two hours

after the light went out.

They'd go inside and make noise

until a nightlight would come on,

so they'd know the woman

had woken her boyfriend up.

The guy gets up,

and they'd start making noise

in another room.

They'd move around,

and every time the boyfriend

would go into a room,

they'd make noise

at the other end of the place!

- They freaked people out.

- Seriously!

They chased people away for two summers

until no one wanted to rent

on the lake anymore.

- They never got caught...

- Never.

We knew about it

because they would always take

a keepsake.

Something dumb like a toaster

or a bra belonging to the old lady

from Vermont...

They were crazy, I swear.

If you spent a weekend up here

with them,

you'd never want to come back.

They're a little tamer now.

They still play pranks,

but they've got kids,

so that's calmed them down.

Yeah, is there any left?

I don't want to smoke the filter.

I found this.

It's one of Michel's sweaters,

in case you get cold.

Thanks.

Bandage.

- You're gonna put a bandage on it?

- Yes.

He's like a real doctor.

No.

Maybe that's Thomas getting back?

If he's on the road...

the neighbour's dog might be...

Maybe.

Maybe he can't find his way back.

He's been here often, and when

we arrived, it was almost dark.

I'm sure he'll be here soon.

Thanks, I'm all right.

I'm still a little off from...

Yeah.

That's what weekends are for.

Loosening up.

A hairy thigh!

A cardboard knee!

A foot to marry!

A foot to marry Madeleine

A foot to marry Maddy

Steve...

I really have to get back.

My girlfriend doesn't even know

you picked me up.

- You're staying here.

- You miss getting slapped around?

The neighbour's

been hovering around her.

- It's pissing me off.

- The neighbour? Kojak?

- So that's where you're staying...

- Kojak?

Who's Kojak?

His uncle is Michel Legault.

What's Kojak?

Is the neighbour's name Kojak?

It's because he doesn't

have a hair on his head.

So his name isn't Kojak?

What's his name?

I don't know his name.

We've always called him that.

"It smells like mustard,"

somebody said...

It smells like mustard...

You don't know who it is?

Nature is great. It's inspiring.

It's very beautiful.

There was...

I was at a restaurant one time,

and there was a couple

at the table next to ours.

They were talking,

and the woman wasn't the guy's wife.

It was clear that she wasn't his wife.

It was weird because they were

whispering to each other,

but we could hear them.

And we felt like we had gone

somewhere we didn't belong.

We knew everything that was going on.

He was saying...

"I'm going to tie you up.

"I'm going to handcuff you.

"I'm going to take control."

We were listening to this,

and it was fascinating

to see how much...

It changed our night, that's for sure.

It was titillating.

But they were really talking about...

Have you ever done that?

Been tied up...

Been someone's prey...

Now you can't get away...

- I have a watchdog.

- Yeah?

Watch out, he bites.

- Let go.

- No.

I don't want to play this game.

I want to hold your arm

so you can't get away.

Just to see how long you can take it.

I can take it. I'm tired.

I want my arm back.

- We'll see.

- I need it to drink.

I drink with both hands. I need my...

Please.

- You're back?

- Did you sleep well?

Move.

Do you know that guy?

You don't know that guy!

We don't know who that guy is.

You know what they call him in town?

They call him Kojak.

Does he look like Kojak to you?

We don't know who he is.

He's clingy,

something's not right about him!

He's not the neighbour!

You're paranoid.

You're imagining things!

Marianne!

Marianne...

What are you doing?

I think I lost my camera when we went...

I was looking for the stream.

It isn't this way.

I thought it was on

the other side of the hill,

but I always get lost.

Have you been looking for a while?

No, I walked up along the ridge, but...

I couldn't find the stream.

Well, that's the right path, but...
