Modern Life Page #7

In the end, living here or elsewhere

is much the same.

Sometimes I'd rather live

in the back of beyonds

in total obscurity...

I'd an important appointment today

and I'm only crying now...

I'm sorry.

Like another drink?

No, I've already had too much.

I don't feel very well.

Damn! I've got to phone!

What am I?

A mouse on the town?

He thinks it's a sure thing,

and maybe he's right.

God, he's sinister...

and so old!

I'm no spring chicken either.

I thought you'd disappeared.

- Shall we go elsewhere?

- Okay.

You alright?

I think I'm dying.

What's happening?

Reception? Mr Hellman is unwell,

he's passed out.

I don't know... But hurry!

Sit down.

I want to retire from the world.

I have no place here.

What do you mean?

I want to enter a convent.

Where are you going?

To school.

Don't worry, I'll get my exams.

Since when do you wear make-up?

Go wash your face.

It's Eva and Elliot!

I called, but you're never in.

I didn't leave messages

so not to scare you.

Well, here we are!

- What's going on?

- Ines has reappeared.

Oh yeah?

So do you want your money back?

Did you say something?

Tell me something...

You're not by any chance a bit...

I kind of lip-read,

I don't hear very well.

Right, now I understand.

I said,

do you want your money back?

My money?

No, I'd forgotten all about it.

But it's only fair, after all...

Well you did get roughed up

by Alain's bodyguard.

Do you believe in guardian angels?

I didn't either.

But I do now.

We're protected

by all-powerful angels.

Mine is called Seriah

and you're his spokesman to me.

Why're you looking at me like that?

Excuse me, I gotta make a call.

Gertrude, it's me.

Can I speak to her?

Okay, pet. I'll be right over.

My daughter!

Needs my help to revise her maths.

Right now!

You're good at maths?

My dad was useless.

It makes me so happy!

When were you born?

- Want I study your case?

- No...

Tell me your birthday,

I'll work out your guardian angel.

But I don't believe in angels, Eva.

It's our duty to collaborate

with the angels, see?

They come to us by night,

so you must sleep well.

- Do you sleep well?

- Like atop.

That's real important,

as they intervene at night

to give you their love and wisdom.

They free your soul,

your spiritual soul, of course.

I'll call you when I find

your guardian angel.

You'll see, it'll all come clear.

More or less.

You've already had a sign...

Meeting your daughter.

You'll tell me about it?

You've a hole there!

We've come to see Mr Andy Hellman.

Take a seat, I'll call the nurse.

Reception here, some people

to see Mr Hellman.

You've come to see Mr Hellman?

He has to rest, he's very weak.

What's the matter?

He's had a cardiac arrest.

We have to keep him for observation.

Can we see him?

He doesn't want to see anyone

right now.

Excuse me...

I'd like to know how Mr Hellman is.

Who are you?

Sorry, I have to go.

- And you?

- We're from the record company.

I'm Claire.

- Processed by C.M.C.

- Paris
