- You said she wasn't coming.

- Hello.

- Hi, sweetheart.

He calls her "sweetheart"!

- Happy birthday!

- Thanks Emilie, dear.

Where's the oldie?

- Happy birthday.

- Thanks.

How old are you, around 75?

I'm 58. That guy's an idiot!

I'll change doctors.

What did I say?

He can get all the girls he wants!

About the 20 million,

I'm canceling the transfer.

I'll never see her again.

But to hold her one last time...

I went through that once.

I got my last time.

I lied to the girl,

told her what she wanted to hear.

She came to our date, elated.

I got a glorious last night with her.

That's odious.

I know.

"Happy birthday to you... "

- Doctor, may I ask you for something.

- What?

Your daughter's hand.

You should ask her.

I did.

Did she accept?

Yes.

Then why are you pestering me?

Thanks, Doctor.

Why's that doctor always angry?

He's allergic to patients.

Hello?

It's me, I have good news for you,

or rather, good news for us.

I'm listening.

No, I want to surprise you.

Oan we meet tomorrow?

I've got a show,

but I'm free at 5PM.

- Where?

- At the Pavilion, in the Park.

I'll pick you up at five.

No, let's avoid the press,

meet me in the usual place.

Do I spend tonight

at his place or mine?

Go home, you're through

with that bum.

See you tomorrow, love.

Why does he keep insulting me?

Doesn't matter now.

I'm happy, Franois.

Then he can call me a bum

all he wants.

Time to say good-bye.

Not coming up for your things?

I've got stuff at my place.

Tomorrow.

Well, good night, Elena.

I didn't think this 3 days ago.

What?

That I'd be sad to leave you.

Me neither.

Good night, Franois.

Am I bothering you?

No, I'm with my mom.

She quit drinking.

Yeah, when?

Today. Looks like it's working.

- You OK, Mom?

- I'm thirsty.

You can have this apartment:

I'm moving in with Emilie.

No way! That's so cool!

Elena there?

She can stay, wouldn't bother me.

No, she left.

To live with the man she loves,

and she's very happy.

Darling,

I never planned to divorce you.

You've been glum

since she lives with that guy.

She means nothing to me, it's over.

I'll go to Venice, but with you!

Once the Board meeting's over,

we'll leave on a second honeymoon.

Here she is.

- You?

- She's through with you.

Get out of this car!

- I have a message for you.

- Screw that!

Get him out!

- When do you go to Venice?

- What?

Hope you get the honeymoon suite.

No, wait! Take a walk.

I don't know what you're saying.

You will, in Venice with your wife.

I don't know how,

but you stole her, you creep!

I'm marrying

the girl I love in 3 weeks.

You can insult me all you want.

Elena says that, rich as you are,

you're a poor man!

She's sorry for you!

She won't get her 20 million,

I had it voided!

Not a penny, tell her!

She knew you'd cover yourself.

I'm sorry for you too!

Pignon!

Feeling blue? Want a little treat?

Leave me alone, dammit!
