Hey.

Oh, Maya.

You're all wet.

What are you doing here?

My mom left me at the station,

but I didn't get on the train.

It's fine. They're only

preparatory courses.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah, it's fine.

Can I stay?

What will you do alone?

We work and have things to do.

I can clean up, for example.

- I can cook.

- You cook?

Yes, I cook really well.

You should see Valrie. She's single.

I don't know her...

So what?

At worst, she'll say no.

Who cares? We'll soon be somewhere else.

I don't know...

I don't know if I want to.

You would if she was in your bed.

There's plenty to eat.

Tonight, we're having

rabbit with prunes.

I hope Maya does well.

I do too. I have high standards

for rabbit with prunes.

The one my mom used to make...

You have no idea...

Let's go.

Back to work.

Five minutes!

- No, let's go.

- Come on!

Let's go. Come on.

Bye!

See you tomorrow.

Oh man, I'm hungry.

Maya?

Maya?

Maya, what's going on?

Come on, tell me.

Valrie.

- How are you?

- Fine.

Hey, I don't know

what you're up to now...

but if you wanted

to get a drink or something...

Sorry, I'm picking up my kid.

Oh, okay... No, I mean...

I was just saying just in case.

But you can come by for dinner.

I don't want to impose.

I'm inviting. It's fine.

No, no.

- If you don't want to, it's fine.

- I do.

How should we do this?

Do you want to come

with me or follow me?

- Okay.

- You'll follow me, then?

Yes, I'll follow you.

Great.

- See you in a bit.

- See you in a bit.

- See you in a bit.

- See you in a bit.

I thought you said you weren't hungry.

No, it's...

- It's very good.

- Thank you.

What did you do before?

I did...

I did some things.

I did lots of things.

Well, I mostly took care of my father.

He was very sick and needed care.

But it's fine. He's fine now.

That's courageous.

- What is?

- Having taken care of your father.

- Not everyone would do it.

- It's normal.

He's all alone...

So, I thought...

Maybe I could think about myself now.

I understand that.

What about you?

You're not from around here.

Not at all.

I don't know anyone here.

That's what I was looking for. Calm.

What's wrong, honey?

I can't sleep.

Why not? Nightmares?

I'd like you to read me a story.

A little story.

- Be right back. Ok?

- Sure.

Oh, pumpkin. My beloved little boy.

You're my beloved little boy.

"From far away, across the world...

"he smelled good things to eat.

"So he gave up being king

of Where the Wild Things Are.

"Max stepped into his private boat.

"He sailed in the morning

and in the night.

"and sailed back over a year

"and in and out of weeks

"and through a day,

"and into the night

"of his very own room,

"where he found his

supper waiting for him.

"And it was still hot."

Where were you?

At Valrie's.

- Did you hit on her?

- No.

Well, I could have, but... I don't know.

What's up with the girl?

I don't know what's up,

but something's wrong.

So, I think I won't work tomorrow...

and I'll take her back to school.

Maybe that's best.

Yes, well...

That's the way things are.

How are you?

Will you play me something?

Okay. How about some blues?

Go for it.

Brother, you are looking fine.

you had a hot time.

No.

I told you, I didn't...

Well, I see what I see.

And I see a happy guy.

I'd tell you. That's not why I did.

you've got red cheeks,

and gleaming eyes.

Back from Valrie's place,

love all over your face.

Julio "worse than" Iglesias.

Pal, you've got class.

- You're dumb.

- At Valrie's place.

- Maybe we should...

- I'm so tired of stressing out.

It's not a life.

What I need to do...

is live in the present.

And...

You and Julien...

That's exactly what you do,

live in the present.

And...

I was thinking...

What would be great for me...

is if I could travel

a bit with you guys.

That's exactly what I need.

I'll be right back.

I have money to get by.

That isn't the problem.

That isn't it.

But what would you

do with us on the road?

I don't know. Same as you.

Which means?

It means...

taking time...

to enjoy what's happening

and figure out

who I am and what I want.

Well, Julien and I know who we are.

We know what we want.

You understand?

And well, it isn't really a problem,

but we aren't the same age. Understand?

We are...

There's sort of a gap.

I don't know if we're in the same place.

Maya!

Maya.

Being with you felt so good.

I've never felt so close to anyone.

Wait, wait. Listen...

I'll go get some groceries. Okay?

What? Right now?

Yes, I'm tired.

I need a break. And we do need food.

So, anyway. I'll see you later.

Uh, okay.

What's up, Curly? Tired?

Shut the f*** up.

I wasn't being mean.

Simon?

- How are you?

- Fine.

- It's been a while.

- Yes, it has.

- You're visiting your parents too?

- Yes.

How are you?

- What are you...

- Fine, fine.

I'm great. I got a few theatre jobs.

And I just finished a film shoot.

A project...

This is Gaetan.

- Hi. Simon.

- Nice to meet you.

Let's get going, dear.

Yes.

As I was saying, I just

finished a great movie shoot.

- A lead role. It was amazing.

- Wow.

It was great.

What about you?

I'm doing really well.

It's great. Great.

- Really good.

- Really?

- Still working in Liege?

- No.

No, Liege is finished.

- I'm in music now.

- Oh?

Yes. I'm back at it again.

Writing songs and...

you know, making a record...

It's what I'm driving at.

- Is that going well?

- Great.

Really great.

I'm so happy. It's great.

Are you still with...

- Sylvie? Is that it?

- No, we split up.

- Oh, sorry.

- No, it's okay.

Really, it's fine.

Everything is great.

- Do you know who I saw at the store?

- No.

Charlotte Feller

Whoa, she got really hot.

- Eh, whatever.

- Oh, come on. Honestly.

No, I swear.

- Did you know she was pregnant?

- Yes.

Apparently, her guy is some

kind of trader or something.

Oh, okay.

I get it now. Obviously, that helps.

Well, the last time I saw her,

she seemed to be in love.

Give me a break.

- I swear.

- Oh, come on.

Oh, I would do her too.

- No, no.

- But you can't anymore.

No, that's not the point.

- She's not pretty anymore.

- Yeah, right.

Whatever. I don't care.

Plus, it's weird when people

say they're always happy.

It's shady. They're hiding something.

Can I borrow your polo shirt?

Why?

I'm going to the movies.

The movies? With who?

I'm going with some...

With Valrie?

She asked me to.

- Why don't you tell me anything?

- I am now.

What's wrong?

- Do you want to come with us?

- Yes, I do

Then we can both do her.

No, hold on.

We're just going to the movies.

Oh right, the movies.

- Will you be okay?

- Yes.

If you want, I can stay.

Honestly, I'd really like that.

I'd like you to stay.

Yes.

Yes, okay.

Oh, go on.

- Go to the movies.

- Ok.

I'm going to the movies.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Did you like the film?

Well, I thought it was...

I didn't think it was very good.

No, it wasn't.

Well, then.

I'd love a drink, but I have
