Lolo Page #3

---

It's temporary, but they spoiled us

with all this space.

As always, inseparable!

- How are you, darling?

- Very good, and you?

It's been forever.

You look amazing!

- I feel great...

- You got my book?

No, I did a

"total digital detox".

I'm changing my style.

Yes, it's breathtaking.

Take a look before the price rockets.

I can't wait, darling.

Hi Steven!

- Hello?

- Yes, Violet?

- Can't hear you.

- Hello?

Will I still see you tonight?

Yes, yes, yes...

I'll have to find somewhere quiet

and call you back. Hello?

See you soon.

- Where are you going?

- Just calling...

Steinberg's here.

He has a mega-gallery in London.

You can introduce me.

Yes, but be quick.

- This is my son, Eloi.

- Hello.

- He's an amazing artist.

- Yes, I am.

It's me, Jean.

Sorry, I couldn't call you,

I was tied up here.

I'm heading home now,

so, call me.

Okay? Love you.

Jean, it's me.

I'm going to bed now,

but call me anytime.

"Everything OK? Get in touch.

I was stuck at the party."

"Johnny, my love?"

"Either you're mad at me

or in an accident.

There's no other explanation."

"I'm worried sick."

"You let the gas?

You're suffocating?"

"Jean, I love you

don't leave me."

You with a hooker?

"I'm hyperventilating.

I'm dying."

"If you don't want to see me,

I want to know now."

"Call me, or I'm going to

call an ambulance."

"I'm going crazy.

Are you dead?"

Jamy, the mirage,

it is not a hallucination.

It is a very real phenomenon.

Evidence that...

Ah!

Hello how are you?

You did?

I sent loads of texts,

I was so worried.

You're not mad at me?

Of course I'm bot mad at you.

I fell asleep on my phone.

That's a relief.

I'm cooking dinner tonight.

You want to come?

You bet. Okay,

see you at 8 tonight.

- 8's perfect. Kisses.

- Same here.

Sleep well, honey bun?

Yeah, fine.

You moved the TV?

Yeah.

Since it's not working out

with Audrey, so I thought...

Oh my.

You don't mind me staying?

No, of course not.

Thanks, mommy dear.

I'm cooking for Jean tonight.

- Free to join us?

- Who?

Jean-Ren.

J.R. Yeah!

Sure, I'm free as a bird.

You'll get to know him.

It's no hassle?

You must be joking.

- Anytime

- Great.

Don't bombard your boyfriend

with paranoid texts.

It scares guys off.

Trust my experience.

No, it's cool.

Hey sir,

your ticket!

Lemon chicken.

Your biggest hit.

You think he'll like it?

He'll love it.

First time around.

After 100 times,

it's kinda old.

Your super-wife act

never fools them for long.

Frozen meals will win out.

You're exaggerating!

I make boiled eggs too.

And salads.

It's never too late to learn.

My life's at a crossroads.

At 40 years old,

I'm maturing and moving on.

45 in 2 months.

If maturity for a chick today

means cooking for her man,

thank god for the feminists.

You don't understand at your age.

I do understand.

I'm just kidding.

Frozen meals are like

second mother to me.

Right, get up.

Promise you'll be nice to him.

Very chic!

I didn't want to look like a mess

for the official introduction.

Classy!

Go sit in the living room.

What can I get you?

- I don't know. Same as you.

- A beer!

So, Paris...

Like it?

Yes. I'd visited before,

but living here is something else.

Waking up...

Thank you.

Falling asleep and waking up with the

Eiffel Tower at the window is incredible.

Amazing...

What are all these paintings

against the wall?

My son's a very talented artist.

You painted that?

It's my new concept.

Auto-bio-graphic.

Do you like them?

A lot...

No thanks.

Yes...

I like the...

The bird in the sky.

Magnificent.

That's a smudge.

I see.

I have to admit,

my son's the future of humanity.

You're in finance?

Technically, no.

I sold software to Rural Credit.

A revolutionary,

high-frequency trading program

that processes transactions

faster than the competition.

Just a few microseconds but that

gives a huge strategic advantage.

Fascinating.

Two years ago,

I went into a "lifeless" mode

to perfect it.

It was for a financial organization

in Bordeaux.

It generated so much buzz,

I scaled it up for France Rural Credit.

How does the software work?

It's simple.

I took the code of an old

open source program,

Optimized it with some

custom-built addons...

Adaptable?

Before adapting it

and bringing it online,

the analysts and IT guys

itemize and document

every feature required.

Then it gets interesting.

If the deployment goes well...

Where's it at?

Can't say. Contractually.

Top secret.

Are you interested.

I love finance.

System security requires focus.

I developed bricks that

adapt to customer's needs

using plug-ins...

It's fascinating

but I have to leave you lovebirds.

Lulu's waiting for me.

- See you.

- See you.

Lolo...

- You okay?

- Yeah.

What's wrong?

It's my rib.

Still?

Go see Dr. Guillaume tomorrow.

I'll be okay.

Dinner went well.

Yeah.

I confess,

I was pretty bored.

Really?

Get used to it,

it's his job.

- Yeah.

- I think he's cool.

- You guys have fun.

- Yeah you too.

Totally lame,

they guy she picked up.

With a name like Jean-Ren,

I won't even shake his hand.

- Gets a D, the guy.

- D?

Yeah, scores a D.

Lowest there is. Douchebag.

A's don't exist.

B's super rare.

My old man.

The rest are C's

and mostly D's.

Absolute nerd.

F***, he's creepy.

No style.

D's too good for him.

- He's a geek like you.

- No, no, no...

He's an IT engineer, not a geek,

Subtle difference.

How does my mom do it?

I guess, at her age,

you're not picky.

Single guys are a**holes.

The rest are used goods,

bled dry by their ex'es.

The timing stinks.

You get dumped and your old lady

is playing the newlywed.

It's great timing.

Parties, models,

fashion shows...

My ma's schedule is

mine in Fashion Week.

As if models

would look at you.

Totally. Take a good look.

I'm your buddy, not your twin.

But your ma's gonna take

her new man to all the parties.

No sweat.

It's all under control.

You ever heard

the expression GBW?

Gone Before Winter.

This guy's GBF.

Gone Before Fall.

Trust me, 1 week.

- Any preference?

- You choose.

- How about a comedy?

- I love comedies.

- Let's see, I have...

- Yeah?

- Blazing Saddles?

- Blazing Saddles? Is that a western?

A Mel Brooks comedy.

You'll love it.

My Lolo.

Go to sleep.

Eloi, on the tit again.

Greedy glutton!

Beddy-byes!

Up!

Oh!

Don't cry, pumpkin.

Cool, helping mom

fix up her place.

Paintings look better

on the wall.

What are you doing?

Holding the screws.

The picture.

Don't forget the picture.

You're saying I'm a klutzy?

No, sweetheart.

Here...

"where buy polonium on the darknet"

- This way a bit.

- No, we're good.

- Perfect!

- Just perfect!

Ah, that's great!

See, Lolo?

Your first art work.

Isn't it beautiful?

It's pretty.

- Another?

- That one.

- Okay.

- Let's go.

What a beautiful day.

But this is white.

Yes, but the designer said

"As white as possible."

Can you whiter?

She looks gray.

No. This is Kabuki.
