across the street, so he came to us

Then one day, I remember...

it was nearly midnight

He hadn't had any lunch or dinner,

so... what could I do?

I took him in, completely

- You adopted him?

- Well, yes

One more child in the family

You're lucky to have found us

Yes, it's true

I enjoy having you all here today

He's doing all right now, isn't he?

He's quite happy here

- He's put on weight

- Not enough

You aren't bored with me?

No. Kiss me

- You love me?

- Yes

You go in. I'm going for a walk.

See you later

My boss's wife. She's sex-mad

- Did you make her?

- I'm not looking for trouble

Do you still see fat Marite?

Now and then. I spend Saturday

nights at her place

You f***, and her mother's

next door?

The old woman shuts her eyes

She'd rather her daughter was with

one bloke than sleeping around

Better be careful, you know

She could trap you

It'll end up in a wedding

It's good to have a woman

in your arms

It's so long since I've danced

like this

What about you?

Me? Oh, you know...

I don't give a damn now

Now that I'm going to have a kid

Shot any moorhens?

No, only rats. The river's full

of them. Dinner ready?

- Aren't we eating with the others?

- No, they make me sick

Isn't she sweet, that little girl?

She's going to be pretty.

I like her

- Would you like one yourself?

- Yes, it's fun

What's his name?

Maurice

- Do you want me to help?

- Yes, if you like

Watch out, her husband's

as jealous as a tiger

- Oh, who cares? He's a pain

- Maybe, but I know him

It's only in fun

Come up, I want to talk to you

I'm busy. Come down if you

want to talk to me

Showing off?

Can't you leave her alone?

Tell your bastard lover to piss off

What lover?

You think I don't know?

I've seen you together

You're all against me

What the hell are you talking about?

Who's together?

I'm not a fool, I see what's going on

- That's too much

- Get on with the laundry

What has he got against Pierrot?

He's jealous, but it doesn't matter

Get away from her

He's completely bonkers

Get out!

Don't move or I'll shoot!

Don't move!

Don't be a fool. You're not

going to shoot, are you?

Get away!

Get out of here

Move back!

Put that gun down. Come on!

Pack up

He's going. Just calm down

I want him to go

Go on, Marie-Jo. Take him inside

Calm him down. Let go of

the gun, Thomas

Don't leave her alone with him!

That's enough. Have you

gone mad or something?

Stop it, do you hear?

Come on, what's got into you?

Let go!

Stop it, do you hear?

Let go of the gun!

Let go!

- Calm down

- I want him to drop the gun

You've no more bullets. Let go

Calm him down

What's got into him?

He's sick!

He's going. Leave him now

Crazy, your friends

What did you bring me here for?

It's not my fault

This could land us back in jail!

Let's have a drink. It's not worth

getting upset about

You think she'll calm him down?

I don't understand

Pierrot had better pack his things

Yes, we'll take him back with us

What is he, a cowboy?

What a fool. He could have

hurt someone

Mind you, we're lucky.

He could have shot her

I knew it

He's sick. 'Bye

- Where will he stay?

- With us, for the time being

Goodbye. He's crazy

Take care of yourself, Mum

You?

It's over. I woke up

about an hour ago

I'll be home tomorrow morning

Won't you say something?

I don't know

Yes, all right

All right. 'Bye

Well?

Well what?

I'm afraid it'll make me throw up

- Do you feel sick?

- Not at all

Hello, Nelly

You don't have to go, you know

We were leaving anyway

All right?

Don't you have to...

Shouldn't you stay in bed?

No, I'll just lie down

See you, Pierrot

Well, happy now?

Why do you say that?

I don't know

You must feel relieved

Did you tell your Mummy

and your little brother?

They must be very happy now

They had nothing to do with it

Listen, you wanted it, so don't

give me that funeral look

You know we couldn't keep it

I can hardly manage myself.

How could we feed three?

Why didn't you say so before?

You should have said

you didn't want the child

Not let me hope like a fool

I know

But I wanted it. I couldn't

think of anything else

And I kept hoping

you'd start working

I said I'd work

when the child was here

How could I believe you?

What proof did I have?

You should have trusted me

Are you coming, Lulu?

Right, I'm off

I'll see you there, OK?

- Why did you call me?

- Don't know

What's wrong?

Nothing. But why didn't you and

Nelly ever have children?

- Why do you ask?

- Because...

...I don't understand,

I just don't understand

Tell me
