Mon roi

Mommy!

What brings you to the center?

Complete tear of the anterior

cruciate ligaments in my right leg.

That must hurt.

Yes, it hurts.

Can you talk me through your accident?

l was going downhill, too fast I guess.

My skis got tangled and...

I went flying.

Why did you fall that particular day?

I don't know.

Most likely,

I was going too fast and l...

My skis got tangled...

Why did your skis get tangled?

Sometimes we lose sight of things.

We don't know where we're going,

we're running, we're rushing,

we're looking ahead, never behind.

We trip and fall.

Right?

Sometimes

we can't get back on our feet.

Say "my knee," will you?

Slowly.

Please.

"My knee."

"Me-ll

"We."

What if I'd said shoulder?

- What then?

- It doesn't work every time.

But I'll read you something

and you tell me what you think.

"The knee

signifies the capacity to let go,

"give way

"or even retreat,

"since it is a joint

that allows only backward flexion.

"Pain in the knee

"suggests that one has difficulty

"accepting an event in one's life,

"and healing proceeds

along the same psychological path."

It may be pop psychology,

but think it over

and come back to talk again.

Sure.

What happened?

Recognize me?

No.

- Can't you go eat together?

- No, not without you.

We need you to defend us.

You look like death warmed over.

Who'd hassle you at this time?

Dream on!

Who'd hit on two zombies

coming out of a club?

I'm going to bed.

I did recognize you earlier.

Just not right away.

Tony, we're gone.

Now it's all coming back.

Tony.

Your name's Tony.

Right?

- I knew it was a man's name.

- Where'd we meet?

Faces before names.

You remember me?

You remembered my face.

Earlier, you rock up

and flick water in my face.

- You don't remember my face.

- I do.

Love you, Tony.

How about breakfast?

Let's go have breakfast.

Look me in the eye and say no.

- See?

- Wait a second, I can do it.

- Wait for what?

- I'll do it.

Go on.

2, 3, you lose!

Come on, breakfast!

No, come on, please!

Jeez!

Check out the mural.

Mind-boggling.

So, we have a foosball table.

Overgrown teen.

Out of tune.

Nice place you have here.

Check out the rest if you want.

I won't be long.

What?

Can I just say...

Rich or poor, your feet still stink.

A hint of truffle in hot chocolate.

You don't shave it, just grate it.

It's not cheese, it's a truffle.

The simplest things are the best.

What do you do?

make food.

You're a cook?

Not anymore. I own a restaurant.

- You did business or culinary school?

- Neither.

I realized I enjoyed

making people happy.

If it's partly down to me,

feel like I serve a purpose.

Magnificent.

What about you guys?

sell clothes.

That I choose.

A bit like you,

I enjoy making people happy.

Giving them style, allure, personality.

Solal?

My thing in life

is making myself happy.

So, I do nothing.

That's when I'm happiest.

Right.

And you, Tony?

I'm a lawyer.

You don't run with intellectuals?

It's not that, it's...

- Criminal lawyer?

- Sure.

Criminal law?

- Not only, but some.

- Foosball time.

- You're sick of me talking shop.

- I'm interested.

Make an effort or else it's boring.

If it makes you happy.

So, where did we meet?

We met at

Le Pulp.

- The club?

- Long ago.

l tended bar when l was a student.

Stop.

And I think

you were a solid regular.

Hanging around the bar,

dipping your hand in ice buckets

and doing that...

To the girls.

As if to say, you...

You're going to bed with me.

It worked?

Pretty good, yeah.

So you imitated me.

I thought you'd remember

that we met back then.

Cute.

- But you didn't.

- Not at all, but it worked. Look...

- What?

- What you wanted.

- Breakfast with you is what I wanted?

- Sure.

No, I wanted...

See you.

See you...

Very soon, I hope.

Can I give you my mobile?

If you want.

Catch.

The code

is 1-7-7-6.

He's fantastic.

Yeah, fantastic.

I love him.

You want my mobile?

Catch.

Solal!

How come it works for those guys?

And with me, never!

When you throw her your phone,

she's like...

And you're like...

That's so not true!

Prop your knee back on here.

There.

You want to finish up on your own?

Here, take the shower.

I'm in the next room, okay?

Sit down.

Hey.

You okay?

Good, and you?

Not bad at all.

- Your mobile.

- Thank you.

You didn't miss it?

You didn't miss me?

What's this?

The list of people who called.

Can I get an espresso?

No, sorry, don't.

- We don't have time.

- How come?

I want you to see something, like now.

My dear friends,

we can be fearless

before God.

Whatever we ask,

we shall receive from Him...

Recognize me?

Take a seat.

see that everybody's here.

lf everybody's in position,

we can go on.

Thanks.

If you'd all please stand...

Marie, before God and your witnesses,

invite you to take your vows.

Do you take as your husband, Slim,

to love and to hold

till death do you part?

I do.

And you, Slim,

do you take Marie

as your wife,

to love and to hold

till death do you part?

I do.

You don't put it on!

Here.

- Done.

- The kiss!

now pronounce you husband and wife.

What is it?

- What's wrong?

- Nothing.

Tell me what's wrong.

You didn't feel that l was...

too...

Too what?

Too open.

Too open?

Minded?

What are you talking about?

Too open where?

Too open inside.

Your p*ssy?

No.

Not at all.

It was wonderful.

It was perfect, I promise you.

Why'd you say that?

That's why you're crying?

What's wrong?

Somebody told you that?

Who told you that?

Tell me. I'll punch his lights out.

Who said that?

Who's the idiot who told you that?

Only a guy with a small dick

says that, babe.

Your p*ssy is...

It's like a mouth.

Without teeth.

Just ideal.

A p*ssy like an old lady's mouth.

- No, seriously.

- Who told you that?

My...

Tell me, which a**hole said that?

My ex-husband.

Before he left?

As grounds for...

separation.

Your p*ssy's like that, ciao.

I gotta go, I found a chick

with one like that.

Right?

- Cool guy.

- Exactly.

You married a great guy.

You've gotta stop

meeting jerks, you know.

You're not a jerk, are you?

No

Huge hesitation.

I'm not a jerk, l'm...

the king of jerks.

Get it?

I thought as much.

I'm the captain,

send them along...

I love you.

You can't love me so soon.

Can't I?

No.

What time is it?

I'll wait ten minutes.

I'm not asking for that much.

Five?

We'll just rotate your leg a little.

You can't extend it further?

That's as far as it goes?

We'll make do with that.

Hold still.

Here we go. Stay very still.

Yes,

see.

The knee's swollen again.

There we are, 60.

Rmi has some work to do.

First to get the swelling down.

Then to recover mobility.

What's up?

- l was passing by.

- You said not to expect you.

Wendy!

- Hey there!

- Hello.

Show the lady...

to table 4.

Evening.

Fire me up another king prawns, please.

For table 8.

We'll take good care of you.

Remember me?

Sure, at the wedding.

And the nightclub.

You smoke?

No.
