to relieve the babysitter.

Well, then.

See you.

You don't want to come by...

Oh, yes.

I just didn't want to...

It's okay, we'll just...

Oh, okay.

Well, then...

Follow me, then?

Simon!

Simon!

Let's go. Hurry.

Oh, I just went to bed.

What an idiot. I was up

all night playing music.

Are you coming to work?

Music is my thing. It's my thing.

Why'd I give up?

Why'd the band split? It's my thing!

I worked all night on a great song.

I really think it's not bad.

I called Stephane to try

with drums and bass.

We'll be playing with

the band again! I'm so happy.

But...

- Don't you want to leave?

- Of course I do. Don't be silly.

Of course I do.

On the road, we'll compose.

When we get to a city,

we'll play on the streets.

We can do that.

That's it.

We have to dare on this trip.

We'll dare to do things. Risk it.

By the way,

since I'm on a roll and I'm inspired,

I'd rather not work today and tomorrow,

to try and keep the inspiration going.

Do you mind working alone?

- No, it's fine.

- Really?

- Yes.

- Cool.

All right. I'm going to bed.

I'm dead tired.

Hey. What about Valrie?

- It was good.

- That's good!

- It was good.

- How good?

- I'll tell you about it.

- You better. You look great.

You look great.

All right.

Hey guys! Guys!

Guys, guys. Let's start.

Let's do it. Let me show you.

I know. There are no lyrics.

I know. I know.

It's gibberish. There are no lyrics yet.

Then there's the chorus.

It changes a bit.

Like this.

So, that's...

That's the idea.

No, there's...

There's something to it.

It's cute.

What?

No, it's cool. It's nice.

Simon, do you remember this? Listen.

Simon!

This is good, Simon.

Do you remember?

Come on, Simon!

That's it!

E7, F minor...

No, that sucks.

That sucks.

No! Minor, minor!

This sucks.

Hey, there's your house.

What's going on?

I've had enough.

Let's leave. Let's leave.

- Let's leave.

- When?

Now. Let's go. It's been 15 days.

We should've left 15 days ago.

I've had enough.

We haven't saved up enough.

Yes, we have.

We have enough for

the motorhome. We'll find work.

We'll pick grapes in France.

Finding work won't be a problem.

- Let's go.

- I thought you were composing.

Of course I'm composing.

All the time.

I can compose here or anywhere.

The whole point is leaving

when we want to.

If you ever want to leave

a place, I'd listen and say ok.

I just need some time. I need

to say goodbye to my dad.

He already knows we're leaving.

- It's not that easy.

- It is.

- It's not.

- Yes, it is. Let's just go.

You get in. We go. It's that easy.

Your dad isn't sick. You're an adult.

Your dad isn't a kid.

Live your own life now.

You don't know what we went

through, so stop! Shut up!

Just give me this weekend.

Give me a little more time.

Yes, excuse me.

Sorry.

Monday.

- Come on.

- Okay, we'll leave on Monday.

Are you okay, Julien?

- You still have the key?

- Yes.

You'll give it back to me.

Okay, that's fine.

Do you have a van?

More or less.

- Are you all alone?

- Yes.

How will you carry all of that?

I'll get by.

- Do you at least have some boxes?

- Oh, no I don't.

Simon...

Don't worry. It'll be fine. Don't worry.

It'll be fine. It'll be fine.

It'll be fine.

Do you want to get a drink?

No, I don't think so.

I would've liked to talk.

About what?

Well, I don't know...

- About how you've been.

- I've been fine.

I have work to do.

We can still talk, can't we?

Why are you harsh and aggressive?

I'm not aggressive.

I've been trying to get ahold

of you for weeks to get your stuff.

Sorry. I was busy.

You show up last minute,

and expect me to...

I wanted to see you.

You've decided not to see me.

- So, leave me alone.

- That's not true.

- I didn't decide that.

- No.

You didn't decide anything.

You never have.

You're incapable of deciding anything.

So now, take your things

and get out. That's all I'm asking.

Okay.

You can keep them.

- I don't want to.

- Yes.

- I don't want to see them.

- I don't care.

You can sell them, donate

them or burn them. I don't care.

Don't go without them.

I told you I don't

need them. I'm leaving.

- Where are you going?

- Far away.

And you'll never see me again.

Simon, wait!

Simon?

- Oh, you're here.

- How are you?

- What's wrong?

- Nothing. Just dropping something off.

I'm in a hurry. I'll see you later.

- What's wrong?

- I'm fine.

- No.

- I'm fine.

- You're not fine.

- I'm in a hurry.

- What's wrong?

- See you later. Don't worry.

- See you Monday.

- No, we're leaving.

- Really? Already?

- Yes. We're leaving. We're leaving.

Bye.

- How are you?

- Fine. You?

What are you doing this weekend?

So, you're leaving on Monday?

Yes.

Yes.

That's why I thought

it would be nice if we...

If we...

- If we saw each other?

- Yes.

- Please.

- Thank you.

Do you want to come over tomorrow?

Yes.

Dad!

Dad!

Get down.

Come on, get down!

Come on, Dad, get down!

Slowly.

What's wrong with you!

Why are you doing that?

Well... for you.

I'm going to put in two.

- We can do that?

- Yes, we can.

Okay.

Which country will you start with?

France, I think.

Your turn.

- And after that?

- I don't know. We'll see.

I'll put in a four.

- There.

- Great.

Do you want more Coke?

No, I'm fine.

Your turn.

- A green one.

- A green one.

- There you go.

- There.

F***.

Come on.

No, no, no. I won't leave it that way.

Not in front of my house.

No. Let him do it.

Let him do it. Look, he's coming.

Put that down.

- You'd better help me.

- No.

What are you doing?

I told you he'll do it.

It's his job to do it.

Come on.

Why did Sylvie's father

have to deal with this?

Where will we put it all?

Nowhere. I'll handle it.

- What will you do with it?

- I'll manage.

- Simon!

- Leave him alone.

Go inside, Mom. Don't stand there.

- Don't stand there.

- Let him do it.

Let him handle that alone. Go inside.

Mom, go inside.

That's enough.

Stop, Simon!

There you go!

There, that's good.

That's a pain in the ass, too.

He's breaking everything, Jean-Marie!

Everything's fine!

What's that?

Festive.

I'll be right back.

What is all that?

Nothing. We'll sell it in France.

We have to leave, Julien.

- We said tomorrow morning.

- No, now. I'm going crazy.

If I stay one more minute,

I'm going to break down.

I swear, I'll go crazy.

Just one night less here. It's nothing.

Please, do it for me. Please.

Please.

Please.

Say something.

Do you want me to take you back?

What are we going to do, Simon?

What are we going to find?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Well, goodbye.

Goodbye.

Can I come in?

Yes, of course.

I wanted to say goodbye.

I'm leaving and I wanted

to say goodbye. That's all.

I'm going back on the road.
