Can I at least have hope?

If not now... then maybe later?

Believe me, I do not want to rush things...

But I'm not young.

Alex, tell me.

I can sit here even till dawn.

How true that is!

Tomorrow is a new day.

God bless you, Maily.

We will remember you.

Well, what did you put in?

- Kids! Bye!

- Good bye!

Children will never forget you, Cesar!

Exactly. They never were laughing so long.

You should be a clown,

not a gas station attendant.

- No, wait a minute!

- Such talent is lost!

I'm not a gas station attendant!

Although, who cares.

OK, kids, so long!

Good-bye, madame...

That is, Mother. Bye everyone!

No, not here.

There are already three and a girl.

- Sit in the back.

- That's right, as always.

"Gas station attendant"!

It is necessary to correct the papers...

...otherwise they will think

I'm a gas station attendant.

Madame... Mother!

Change to "Lancia dealer".

No, better - "Exclusive Lancia importer"!

Goodbye, kids!

Have a nice day! Good luck!

Good bye!

Do not chase!

THREE MONTHS LATER

Hello! Can I park the van at the gate?

Good!

- Hey, Maily.

- Papa Cesar!

- Play with me and the cars?

- I just put the bag - and come, kid.

Mom Alex says you have five A's?

- Yes.

- Well done!

Is there something for me in the bag?

Could be.

- Good day ladies?

- What have you brought in?

- You have a new color?

A light brown shade, very modest...

- No one will notice.

- Still visible a bit.

As you knocked over the head

"Nestea." Nothing but fresh.

- And why van? You changed the job?

- Sort of.

This is a company car.

I'm on probation at "Renault."

At "Renault", it seems, the colors -

yellow and black?

- I'm talking about the hair, just in case.

- I have noticed!

In six months I'll be in the top ten.

And I will buy back dealership,

in memory of my father.

In the meantime, pass the candles for the cake.

I bought her a garbage truck! Wonderful!

There's garbage in it!

This is mother and Gwen. Would you open?

Coming!

Eh you, Bogeyman!

This...

This is Luis! Luesh! Sheila, Shuli ...

Doctor from a shelter!

- Wow, what a surprise.

- Yes, I think I surprised all of you.

- A little bit.

- Yes, but we are glad to see you.

- You are with us for long?

- It depends how things go ...

I brought an application for citizenship

for Maily...

...adoption is invalid,

until this matter is not resolved.

- Luix! Dr. Luix!

- Maily!

Look what I brought for you!

This is for you.

What a beauty!

If he learns about fictitious marriage -

they take her back!

Okay, I understand. We're married again.

God, again twenty five.

- Again twenty five ...

- Come on, mix tomatoes, salt...

...there's no taste.

I pour some olive oil -

he is Basque, they like it?

- Fish sauce!

- Open the wine.

You don't mind if we drink some wine?

- Get the bottle, where is it?

- No, my dear!

And after your departure

my heart was so empty.

I turned the page,

began a new chapter.

Is that so? About what?

- More wine?

- Pour.

- I came for your sister.

- What do you mean?

I wish she was always next to me.

I've got a job offer in a shelter.

I am moving back to Paris.

- No!

- Yes.

Do you realize there is "a thing"

with my sister.

You... have no chance!

Absolutely no way!

Why not?

She has a boyfriend?

No, wrong...

Then what's the problem?

- A woman...

- I know that she's a woman.

No, her boyfriend

is a woman.

What a nice kitchen.

Yes, a bit tiny, but there is everything

that is necessary.

Well, the fact is that Alex...

...no one was able

to convince her.

So she's willing?

You have no idea.

Is she in love with her?

Very.

That's OK.

- You haven't rented an apartment, yet?

- No.

Thanks God. Okay, I will not leave you.

l'll take you to the airport.

Your life is in Asia, my friend!

Do not worry...

... we'll come to visit you with the girl.

Yes, you're right.

I will take six-hour flight.

Don't go, Luix!

Never, never, never!

Take it easy.

- What is it?

- Nothing! We just talked...

...and she screamed when the doctor said

he was going back to Thailand.

It should be easy to explain

and she will understand!

Maily, honey...

The doctor does not live here.

- Whew!

- No, he lives here!

- What is it? What is happening?

- She gasps!

- This is a spastic crying.

- What?

Spastic crying -

a form of blackmail...

...do not give the child what he wants

and he stops breathing.

Maily! Easy.

Everything comes to life in peace.

Maily.

That's all behind us.

- You want this?

- Yes.

You see, Maily,

the doctor is going nowhere.

He stays in France with us!

- Are you happy?

- Yes.

Although France is huge...

and he doesn't have tail us.

- It is not good to lie to a child!

- I'm not lying, I'm staying.

What? Don't you understand!

With Alex... it is a dead issue!

Yes, but the Basques

always distinguish generosity!

I'll make your sister happy.

You can believe me.

- Do not stay behind, Luix!

- I'm coming, my girl!

- You know what?

- No.

Now it seems to me...

My family - it's you.

And I am so happy because of it.

Yeah, me too. We all are.

It's cool, right?
