On ne choisit pas sa famille Page #2

---

I'd have to go over my books.

I might still be short.

I'll add to it.

Sure your scheme is airtight?

In those places, trouble comes easy.

It's not a war zone. I'm your sis.

And a lawyer.

By the way, know any auctioneers?

- Yes, why?

- Because...

I have the entire

Renault 4 collection. From Day 1.

I'm only missing the Savanna.

With a large roof rack.

It'd be great if you find me one.

So, if I add 50,000 euros

will you go with Kim?

Your Viet orphan boy story moves me.

She's Thai and she's a girl.

That's not the problem.

The sad thing is, she's an orphan.

I'll jot down the name.

It's a four, like the number.

And Savanna. Like Savanna.

- Want her name?

- Whose?

The girl's.

Maily. Isn't that a pretty name?

Sure. I can't really tell.

They say Thailand's paradise.

To Bangkok? Doctors are money!

Money! Money!

I understand, Mrs. Ling,

but I'm a G.P. I don't reduce ears.

Dr. Luix! We have confidence in you!

Please! Kiss! Kiss!

They too big! Too big!

No good for nothing!

What matters is to hear well.

Ugly!

They define you.

He can't even wear no cap!

Others yes, but him no cap.

Anyway, that's nature.

Two organs continue

to grow as you age:

the nose and the ears.

And there is also an organ

that gets smaller with age!

Patai-Chung Orphanage

NO, stop!

- Stop! Not here!

- It's the law!

Not here! Stop.

It's Dr. Luix!

Hi, pumpkin.

Go and play.

Mother Marie-Souye,

what'd they want?

To post the new adoption laws.

Over the children's pictures!

Ah, yes. I heard.

Only married couples can adopt now.

A fine thing.

A child should be raised

by a father and mother.

Your malaria acting up again,

Mother?

Roll up your sleeve.

You know little Maily

is leaving us this week.

Her new parents are arriving.

I hate shots.

I have to fetch them at the airport.

Not like this. Send someone else?

Sister Lucienne had an accident.

She ran into an elephant

with the tuk-tuk.

Driver's license confiscated.

Why don't you pick up the parents?

Bangkok holds bad memories.

It's been over 5 years

since the Lord took your wife.

End your penitence.

You have a right to happiness.

And they're French.

You should be glad.

I usually avoid them.

The mother works

for French television.

And the father?

In cars. A pump attendant, I think.

- How old is he?

- About 50.

I see. Pump attendant at 50.

I hope they send Maily to college.

They arrive tomorrow at 3 p.m.

Flight Thai 807.

Where the hell is he?

- He'd better not back out.

- He gave me his word.

I hate latecomers.

There he is.

What's that hair color?

Bordeaux-mahogany?

Sorry I'm late. Wrong airport.

A Club Med habit.

So this is the Beast.

Beauty! Sorry, Beauty!

Pleased to meet you. Kim.

Cesar.

Maybe we should kiss.

As husband and wife.

That way, it'll be done with.

Angela by Cacharel.

Reminds me of an ex.

No, it's Meow by Gamahuche.

Remind you of anyone?

Gamahuche? Just a sec.

C'mere.

- I told Irene you'd wire the money.

- When you're back with the kid.

Natch'. It's just to say,

lrene's in the know.

She seems nice, funny and all that.

She reminds me of someone

in that tank top. But who?

It'll come back to you.

- A problem?

- No, honey. Everything's cool.

Let's go to check-in.

I'll take your bag, Kim.

Thanks, that's sweet.

It weighs a ton!

What have you got in there?

My kitchen sink.

I'm afraid someone'll steal it.

Just like me. A laugh a minute!

We could start an act in Bangkok.

We won't have time.

From behind you remind me of...

Another ex?

My high school gym teacher,

Mr. Chauvelau.

I worshipped him!

"Muscle Man."

He always wore a muscle shirt!

Like you.

- I might not last 48 hours.

- I warned you.

What a line!

Bangkok. Business, 1st Class,

this way, please.

Don't worry.

It's cool.

Everything'll be fine.

Hold this.

- It's dumb to make a spectacle.

- What spectacle?

When straights kiss, it's normal.

We're obscene. Is that it?

It looks like my wife

is cheating with another woman.

Who do you mean?

You and me! Mr. and Mrs. Borgnoli.

So, you're in television?

Alex told me

you hosted "Of Horses and Men."

I'm a sound man.

For "Of Houses and Men."

I stopped watching TV in 2004.

Like you, I'd rather read.

Oh, no.

That's all we needed!

I can close up shop!

What's wrong?

They're reinstating the road tax!

I'll go sell lemons in Cavaillon.

Melons.

What melons?

Cavaillon melons. Not lemons.

It was an image.

Champagne?

- A glass of champ?

- I don't drink alcohol.

Juice then, soda?

What sodas do you have?

It's okay, Cesar. I'm not thirsty.

I'll stick with the champagne.

- The stewardess is cute.

- Yes, very.

Very cute.

Sorry about earlier.

I overreacted about your...

little "peck."

It was no peck.

We kissed as lovers do.

Sure, of course. That's why...

Did you see that western

with the two cowboys who...

What was it called again?

Great movie.

Baden-Baden Mountain.

Brokeback Mountain.

Baden-Baden's a town in German.

Miles from Cavaillon.

Okay, but it was still a mountain.

An ex dragged me to see it.

Well, it really got to me.

Even though I'm not... No, really.

But it's true...

Two guys, but really in love.

In love like...

you and Alex,

but as guys.

I'll try to sleep.

If you can't, just ask.

Take your pick:

Auto Buyers' Guide,

Auto News, Auto Plus

and The Auto Monitor,

which, if you ask me...

I'm not asking.

...Is still the bible.

Gladly.

What's your name?

I'll find Out.

- Time to wake up.

- Okay.

- Where are we?

- In the air.

We land soon.

We have to go over stuff.

What stuff?

My head weighs a ton.

For the nun we've been married

10 years. We have to rehearse.

- Sh*t.

- What?

I lost a sock.

We'll look later.

Focus! You have to answer

her questions right.

- Where'd we meet?

- At the airport.

Anyone find a sock in the night?

Your sock didn't run away.

It's on the plane somewhere.

I'll start again: Where'd we meet?

Wherever. Someone stole it.

Lisle socks aren't cheap.

A one-legged cripple, maybe.

We met through your sister.

You listening?

I don't think it's wise

to get my sister mixed up in this.

- Why not?

- It's obvious.

You're together.

If anyone cross-checks,

they'll be on to us.

Then let's say at friends.

That seems smarter.

I can't wear just one sock.

They'll spot me right off.

The attendant must have extras.

Not lisle socks.

On this company, they have them.

Okay.

Neither. Adoption.

Over there.

Hey,you!

Honey, get over here.

Your passport.

Chief!

- What'd you tell them?

- The truth. Why lie?

They have different names.

There's your answer.

What's this paper for?

A permit to travel

around the country.

They kept my passport.

Only until we leave with Maily.

With who?

Maily, our daughter!

Take it easy.

Jet lag's got me confused.

And these Chinese names!

They checked the certificate!

Calm down.

Maybe they found your sock.

Walk slowly and carry my bag.

We don't even have

the embassy phone number.

- Sh*t.
