On Air Page #3
Really? Why?
I had problems.
No,
because that's what life decided.
Life?
Yeah, you'll see. Sometimes...
you end up in situations...
you know.
Do you think life decides,
or people?
I think it's life.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Where are you from?
Me?
It's kind of unusual because,
I wasn't raised by my parents...
There's Lucas.
- You're here?
- Hello.
Did you hear my car was banged up?
Sh*t. How did it happen?
A woman was reversing
outside the charity association.
What a pain in the ass.
It knocked me out. I need to rest.
I'm going.
Bye.
Sit down, it's more comfy.
Want some cake my mom baked?
No thanks.
Don't worry, it's fresh.
Thanks, but no!
Some cookies?
I'm not hungry.
Whatever you say.
Not sitting down?
Sit by me, if you want.
What are you doing?
A little dusting.
You're cleaning?
- No, but...
But what?
It's just that...
If you're uneasy, why are you here?
Well, because...
- Because?
- Because...
Because...
I was invited. So there!
What do you mean? I live here.
Relax.
I'm not relaxed.
I don't need to relax.
Besides I've got to go.
Rocky, get down!
Leave the lady alone.
Rocky, down!
Hello.
Sorry, she's playful.
Are you OK?
What's going on?
Rocky wanted to play.
I had Bernard on the phone.
He can't take you
to the cardiologist.
Sh*t, I waited two months
for that appointment!
What time's your appointment?
You sure are punctual.
Yes, always.
I thought of you the other night.
Ingrid was listening to her thing...
You've got the same voice
as that idiot on the radio.
No, I'm not saying you're an idiot.
No.
How old were you
when you had Bernard?
Wasn't it hard being
such a young mother?
I say that because my mom had me
when she was just 17 years old.
I don't think it was easy.
Probably not.
Abortions weren't so common
back then.
I don't think she wanted to abort.
Did you consider abortion?
I don't know what I thought.
Forty years ago in the country,
it didn't exist.
Why did you leave your home
so young?
You mentioned problems.
You ask a lot of questions.
I'm interested.
I like to know about people's lives.
I left because
I got a job offer in Alsace.
And since I couldn't make ends meet,
and make a fresh start.
A fresh start?
Yes, a new life,
a whole new beginning...
Watch out. The lights!
Did you leave in the late 60s?
Yeah, around then.
In 1967.
Maybe, yes.
You OK?
Yes... no, I'm a bit hot.
That's it.
Everything OK?
Yeah, OK.
I'm supposed to take it easy.
I've always had a strong heart.
Let's go.
Jolle, I've some important things
to say to you.
It concerns both of us.
I'd like us to talk about it.
Would you mind if we met elsewhere
without Ingrid and Bernard?
At my place, for instance.
Or in a cafe, if you prefer.
Yes, I'd prefer a cafe.
Do you know
the Parc Floral in Vincennes?
Yes, a bit.
There's a cafe,
"Le chant des oiseaux". It's quiet.
OK.
Tomorrow,
at 3 o'clock, would that do?
Yes.
Shall I pick you up?
No! I'd rather not,
so no one asks questions.
See you tomorrow.
Do you have 5 minutes?
I like coming here.
It was nice of you to take her.
To be honest, it surprised me.
You're so distant sometimes.
And sometimes really thoughtful.
It's strange.
We all have our contradictions,
I guess.
We can sit down, if you like.
Do you live alone?
Yes, and it suits me fine.
Me too.
I think anything's possible.
That's true.
There's something
I wanted to ask you...
Here you are.
Thank you.
- How much do I owe you?
- It's a gift.
Normally, you don't pay for a gift.
I insist on paying. It's only right.
Then I'll take it back.
It's a gift, not for sale.
Very well, I accept the gift.
Thank you.
It's really very kind.
I thank you.
Here, Ania,
it's for the month.
But I've just started.
It's better for you.
You'll have an advance.
- Thanks, Mrs. Martin.
- A pleasure.
Thanks, Edgar, for your story.
Welcome to my next caller...
Ingrid, from Claye-Souilly.
Good evening, Ingrid.
Good evening, Mlina.
about a relationship problem.
He just split with his girlfriend.
He's hurting, is that it?
No,
I think he's fallen in love again.
That's wonderful. What great news.
But I'm worried
because he's fallen for an old woman
who gets infectious diseases...
Really?
Hello?
Sorry, a slight technical problem...
- Do I go on?
- Sure, carry on.
When I say "old",
she must be about 40-45.
Since he's 27...
- That's not old.
- There's a big age gap.
But if you think it's OK for him...
I didn't say that. That's different.
A big age gap
is very serious!
You can't!
- Really?
- Of course!
You can't say that.
He's made up his mind,
you can't do much.
You can always do something!
You often say not to interfere,
let people live...
Not when their life's at stake!
It's not our policy...
You can't allow just anything.
What sort of mother are you?
You're caring,
someone who looks after her child,
who wants the best for him!
So you must stop him now!
Well, I'll try,
but when he's made up his mind...
Be persuasive!
Find the right words.
I don't know...
Say it'll be another failure.
He must find someone younger,
his own age!
But, Mlina, he's 27.
So? He's 27, he's your son
and you let him have his way?
He's 27. He's still your son.
Help him!
OK, I'll do my very best.
You must do your best!
OK, OK...
I don't usually speak like this,
but you can't let it go on.
This is serious.
Yes. Thank you, Mlina!
Goodbye, Ingrid...
And keep us informed.
OK.
We're counting on you.
My best to you.
Goodbye, Ingrid.
Hello, Andr.
Let's meet to celebrate
the record number of listeners.
Naturally,
with pleasure!
Where?
"Le Petit Ozio"? I know it!
How's it going?
So...
to record numbers of listeners!
To our record and our collaboration.
What are you thinking?
Nothing, I'm sorry, I...
I got carried away.
OK, forget it.
I'm sorry,
we're closing shortly.
How about a last drink at my place?
I don't think that...
- Can I talk to you?
- I'm with a friend.
It's important.
If the lady doesn't want to,
get lost.
- What's with you?
- Nothing.
Go in, I won't be long.
Remember to take off your shoes.
Can't you see I'm with someone?
You who...
Have you lost your mind?
How can you think
I'm interested in you?
Have you seen yourself?
You're pathetic!
- Andr, I'd rather you left.
- Sorry?
Please...
Really?
OK, then.
- See you tomorrow.
- Yes.
Maybe we're not such a bad pair.
A cup of coffee, please.
Mlina's True Face
I imagine you're aware of this.
Your private life isn't my concern,
but this comes when we're investing
in an ad campaign
around your anonymity.
I don't understand it...
Your anonymity is a clause
in your contract,
at your request, in fact.
Mlina,
are you really with Andr?
How can you believe that too?
Mlina!
Ania!
Is that you, Madam?
