A week.

I couldn't bear Geneva

and the house...

I understand.

One?

I'll visit Isabelle's kids.

Let me showyou|my pictures from Seattle.

How old are they now?

He's 12 and Paul is 9.

Did you call Wagner?

Everything's set.|He was very nice.

I'll see him on Monday.

This is Nelly. Lucie...

I'm glad to meet you.

My daughter mentioned you.|You're just as I imagined you.

That's a compliment.

Did you sleep well?

How is it coming?

We're almost done.

Does he mention me?

You're about to arrive.

You come in at the end.

Like a ray of hope.

I want to read it!

I better go.

I'll see you Monday.

No, Monday is Jerome.

The divorce.

Don't let it get to you.

Okay.

- See you Tuesday.|- Yes.

You're an early riser.|So he's up.

But...

His wife is there.

Lucie is...

He said to stop by, but...

Sorry, I have to go.

Go on.

Excuse... on second thought,

I'll leave a note|with the caretaker.

Have a nice day.

You too.

How long does it last?

For them, not long.

Fifteen minutes.

You have no children

and you're sharing property|acquired after your marriage.

You've reached

your decision mutually.

You have three months|to change your mind.

Use them. You seem to get on well.

That's why we're divorcing.

Then have your lawyers|file petitions for the divorce.

- How did it go?|- Very well, right?

You went through one.

Mine was more frenzied.

There are all kinds.|It depends on howyou go about it.

It's all here.

Are you okay?

No regrets?

It's best this way.

Guess what Marianne thinks.

That I'm still in love with you.

Did you reassure her?

I tried to,|but she's pretty convinced.

Insist.

Where can I drop you?

Do you mind?

You have reached Vincent Granec.|Leave a message after the beep.

It's Nelly.

You're not home?

Am I waking you?

Can you come early?

Something unexpected has happened.

Nothing serious.|I have to go on a trip.

I'll explain later.

See you at 9?

I'm late.

Tonight, but I'm not staying.

And the two sweaters.

Are you leaving?

We decided|on the spur of the moment.

To take a long trip.

Long?

An odyssey.

First Geneva,|then St Petersburg, Istanbul,

India, the Far East...

Countries where they don't kill|tourists. All the way to Seattle.

Our son is there.

How long do you intend...

I don't know.

Several months.

I'm quitting my sedentary life.

And our habits.

But...

Here's the end.

Read it, make cuts,|but spare the sentences I like.

You'll recognize them.|They're underlined.

Take your time.

Give the manuscript to Vincent.|He knows.

My bank will wire you money|over the next three months.

No, why?

And keep the key.

Come whenever you want.

A driver is coming for the bags.

You're leaving now?

The flight's at 1 1 :50.

Pierre,|I don't see your black bag.

It must be in the bedroom.

This is all so hasty.

We were talking about it...

and decided|the day before yesterday.

We'll see.

We first discussed this...|30 years ago.

You must find us ridiculous.

No, on the contrary.

We're doing it while we still can.

I hope we'll get along.

The taxi driver.

The bags are there.

I have everything. My passport.

- I'll go down.|- I'm coming.

Goodbye, Nelly.|Thanks for everything.

Goodbye. Have a good trip.

I took care of Dolabella.

If he stops by,|don't let him hit you for money.

I'll write.

You don't have to answer.

Where?

I could have told you sooner.

Maybe. Yes.

Forgive me.

I thought of myself.

You'll be late.

Don't forget your bag.

We have a connection for Istanbul.

Your passport.
