Baby blues is a depression

that occurs after the birth.

That'll be fun.

- Can I see you a moment?

- Of course.

Be right there.

I love you. I want this child.

But 24/7 with you is beyond me.

So I've found a little place,

just there, right there,

maybe three doors down,

on the same block.

No need to cross the street even.

Furnished.

I'll take some underwear

and a toothbrush,

for when I've no time to come by.

I'll be here all the time.

But when I need space or we fight,

when we get in each other's faces...

The doctor says it's a good idea.

That it's pointless

creating stress for no reason.

When are you leaving?

I think the landlord can give me the keys

early next week.

It'll be better.

For you, me and most of all the baby.

We'll only have

the good times together.

We'll be happy to see each other,

we'll laugh. We've lost that.

You okay?

No, not okay.

This is it.

Basically, it's an office,

with a bedroom back there.

Look, check it out.

For if you ever

sleep over with the baby.

Or if you're at the office

and

stay here to work,

I look after the baby.

There you go.

For me to stay here

it had to be offices,

and I met a guy

who's got a lot of talent

and wanted

to go into business with him...

Win-win.

Not bad, huh?

A kitchenette over there.

And this is my brother-in-law.

Solal.

You stocked up on wine.

Stocked up?

l have a few bottles of wine...

You know,

for business meals and stuff,

I need the bare minimum.

And all these glasses and plates?

If you're in a bad mood,

come back later.

I'm in a bad mood?

Who knows...

I'm in a bad mood?

Quit f***ing with me!

Let me go!

Stop it.

Quit f***ing with me!

Can't you stop a second?

Check her hand!

Let go of me!

You cut your hand?

Let me go!

Give her a break, you jerk!

Come on, let's go!

Good morning, Mr. Larcher and Mr. Colin,

here on orders of the court.

Do Mr. and Mrs. Milevski live here?

May I come in, please?

Mr. Milevski is legally bound

to repay a considerable sum

and we're here

to proceed with repossession.

Come in.

The locksmith and movers.

Could we just close the door?

Mr. Colin will repossess

the items of furniture listed here.

We'll start right away.

Please take a seat, ma'am.

Please...

We'll start with the inlaid table.

Wrap it up a little.

That table's mine.

- In what sense?

- lt belonged to my great-grandmother.

Ma'am, by decision of the court,

both spouses are liable for the debt.

l've inventoried the furniture.

Unfortunately,

all the furniture will have to go.

I'm sorry, but it's the law.

l have no choice.

Go ahead, gentlemen.

Bubble-wrap it.

Those two cabinets and the dresser.

And the table.

Let's start on the bedroom now.

The television, please.

Sh*t!

The little f***ers!

I'm sorry.

I know it can't be

very easy for you right now

to have stuff like this happen.

signed the documents, I...

I thought it was an empty threat.

You see?

I'm sorry.

You're mad about your furniture?

Stuff you liked?

It's all in a warehouse

and we have a month to buy it back.

I'll pay and we'll pick it up.

They'll give it back.

The rest was mine, so screw that.

I kind of like this Japanese vibe.

You need to save your skin.

I didn't wait all these years

to have a child,

only to bail out

just when I'll have a family at last.

Call that a Kleenex?

It's a sponge.

Blow.

Blow!

Not so hard.

You'll blast it everywhere. Blow.

That's disgusting.

I don't believe this.

I've totally got a...

Worse than a hospital case.

Thanks.

Where do you want to sit?

There.

- Here?

- Sure.

Make some room.

- Have a nice day.

- Thank you.

Folks fresh off the slab

are here in post-op.

- Zombies.

- That's phase 1.

They sleep all day long.

- Then comes semi-renfo.

- Phase 2.

You have limited mobility.

- Then renfo.

- Phase 3.

- You're phase 3?

- Phase 2.

- l'm phase 2.

- He's terminal phase.

He's nearly done.

He'll head back to his village.

Know his zip code? 7-1.

You live in 7-1?

In the provinces?

- Where are you from?

- Burgundy.

- Dude, Burgundy's in the provinces.

- Provinces is down south, fool.

lt's down south?

The provinces

is the bit around Marseille.

So what do you call up north?

That's Metropolis.

Wassup, nigga!

I'll put him on.

Francois Hollande.

We're gonna hang out together.

For sure. Dope.

How come you're Arab with straight hair?

- I'm not Arab.

- You're not?

- What are you?

- French.

He says I'm Arab.

- You look Arab.

- Spanish, I'd say.

See? Spanish, Portuguese...

His hair and body are out of sync.

Yours is in sync with your body?

l have kinky hair and I'm proud of it.

It's like a sponge.

Arabs have kinky hair.

He's got whitey's hair.

Call his hair Francois, his body Omar.

Call his hair Francois!

I prefer my tuft to that.

Keep strutting, little man!

- I got you down.

- You see a woman and floss.

What are you doing here?

You want something from me?

No, nothing, don't worry.

- Something to tell me?

- Not either.

Happy your furniture's back?

What?

Hello, beautiful beloved.

How are you?

I missed you terribly.

I missed everything.

Your laugh.

I even missed your sulking.

This isn't very...

It's not very sensible.

My waters have broken.

The child's coming?

- Is it moving?

- I'm not having contractions.

- There have to be contractions?

- Yes.

Let's go.

Let's go to the clinic.

Come on...

I'll call them.

Don't make any...

- Sudden movements.

- No, not in black.

- Don't start.

- I know what I'll wear.

Screw that,

we don't have time. Hold still!

No dresses today.

Please.

- Get dressed.

- Calm down.

You calm down.

He said hello.

Look, he's looking at you!

Holy sh*t!

It really is a boy.

Welcome to you.

It's Mommy and Daddy.

- Welcome, my love.

- Mommy and Daddy.

Welcome, sweetheart.

He is so cute.

He has your eyes.

Support his head.

I'm not sure how.

- Like that.

- Like that?

I can't see the baby's face.

There we are.

How about I take one

of you and baby?

The camera's complicated.

You won't starve to death.

Mom came by yesterday with Solal.

She already came?

Tasty. What else is there?

Chocolate, coffee, lemon?

Lemon pie.

- No, lemon macaroons.

- They're lemon pie.

- The flavor's lemon pie?

- Lemon meringue pie.

- Lemon meringue?

- That's right.

You're right.

Tastes of lemon inside.

And a hint of meringue outside.

The whole point...

of macaroons.

- How's the mommy feeling?

- Okay.

He has a name?

- Yes.

- Not yet.

- He has a name.

- We haven't decided.

We chose Simbad.

I need to think it over.

Can we tell you later?

- I'll come back.

- Thank you.

See you later.

Didn't we agree yesterday on Simbad?

Simbad's the sailor, Simbad's...

lt's mythology, it's...

It's travel. Simbad's great.

Eliot sounds like

a dumbass intellectual.

You like Simbad, dad?

No.

That's not a name.

And Marie-Antoinette is? Right?

Simbad's great.

Simbad then?

What's the plan?

There's a superb boat that picks you up
