You shouldn't have done it.

Okay, fine.

- So what do we do?

- Live with it.

Sure.

That way, you'll carry on making

me pay for the next 20 years.

You'll drink and I'll button up.

If you could button up for once,

it would be more feminine.

I'm a woman so I button up,

but you're a man with every right.

The right to live with an aduIteress?

What did you do for three years?

I never asked

if you screwed someone else.

I wrote my books. Where are yours?

Can we watch the Pokemons on TV?

Why are your eyes red, mommy?

Been fighting again?

A little but it's okay.

Mommy cries so easily.

Twenty minutes TV, then bath time.

Early to bed, school tomorrow.

Help me with my homework?

Okay, I'm coming.

I want the one with Tentacool

and Tentacruel.

No, enough of the Pokemons...

I wanted the Pokemons

with Pikachu, Charmander, Blastoise

and Bulbasaur.

See you tomorrow.

Hi, Amelie.

Just a second, here she is.

i know you're with the boys,

i won't take iong.

There's an interesting auction on

tomorrow.

We coui go together.

That way, you can meet imitri

and tell him nice things about me.

Tomorrow's Thursday.

I have to take the kids to school.

Just a second.

Are you free tomorrow?

I'm going to London. We've been

talking about it for two weeks.

Sorry, I forgot.

Forget it, I can't make it.

I have to drive Richard

to the airport and pick the kids up.

Some other time.

You're alone tomorrow evening?

How about a girls' dinner?

Tomorrow's good because Christine

spends every weekend in Normandy

and I know Josee's free.

I'll fix it up.

You're sure? I can call them?

Okay, we'll talk later.

What did she want?

There's an auction tomorrow,

but I can't go.

What else?

Nothing.

Oh, yes, she wants

to do dinner tomorrow.

Who with?

With me.

You think I'm stupid?

With the girls, ust the girls, okay?

No, it's not okay.

What'll you do with the boys?

I'll ask Carole to stay.

While you're out having fun.

Out having fun?

She's three floors down from us!

You're not going for fun

so why then?

Why couldn't I have fun?

You said that wasn't why.

So why are you going?

I don't believe this!

- You already said that.

- You're so...

What am I now?

Why are you crying, mommy?

Aren't you ever

going to stop arguing?

Good ob we left early.

What's going on?

There must be an accident.

I can't miss the plane.

There are flights to London

every hour.

With Air France,

you may not even take off.

Look at that.

We'll move now.

Or not.

You said it.

It's worse than we thought.

It's moving, we'll be okay.

I like that!

- What?

- You being optimistic.

It's ust a matter of willpower.

Forget I said that.

Call your brother.

He'll be pleased to see you.

I'll take my publisher to dinner.

We have a big day tomorrow.

I'll call you. Where will you be?

At home, where do you expect?

I expect nothing.

''Grant me the humble faith

so I may weep

''for the impropriety

of such suffering

''for the pointlessness of grace

''and for the hour cravenly wasted

on my lost effects.''

- What?

- Nothing.

Take care and have fun.

You take care

and have a little fun too.

I love you, Justin, dear.

I love you.

Hello, mom...

id I wake you?

Yes, I know.

No reason.

Actually, I'm missing the boys.

We always painted the Easter eggs

together before.

Are they well?

No, I'm here, I'm listening.

No, that's all I wanted to know.

I'm off to bed.

on't worry, everything's fine.

Really, don't worry.

I love you too.

Lots of love to you all.

Okay, bye.

I'm fine.

The boys are okay.

I miss them. Me too.

Really?

Yes, always.

I have no idea.

I don't think about it.

I don't even try to know. I learn.

Yes, I'm me and you're you.

Look, I'm tired...

I have no idea.

You don't need them anymore?

You don't need them?

Come round tomorrow.

Bring them back tomorrow.

Keep them, then. Keep the keys.

I never asked you to.

I haven't asked you to move

your things out after three months.

Sh*t. Okay.

See you tomorrow.

Excuse me.

You want some tea?

Your tea?

What do you mean by that?

This is your place now.

It's not my place, it's ours.

And do you want some tea?

Yes, please.

There, you can move in now.

I'm sorry, Richard.

I should be the one moving out.

No ob and three kids,

I'm worried about you.

You don't realie,

you tear our family apart

and for what?

Why all this?

I can't believe what's happening.

Why did you do it?

For you, for me, for us.

But there is no more us,

there's no more family.

And the children...

Children always suffer

in break-ups like this.

I don't know of any examples.

You know who you are

and what you want,

so you can wreck everything.

You'll pay for it.

I have to pay to be me,

to know who I am and what I want?

That's not

what I call loving someone.

I love you

but you don't love me anymore.

What we had has gone now,

so you can be free.

Be free and f*** who you want.

- I'm not f***ing. Are you?

- Who are they?

Are you listening to me?

Can't you see it's you I'm leaving?

See the a**holes

filing through my bed? No way.

You're getting common.

I'm common?

It's my bed too.

And I'm talking about us.

Where were you all that time?

id you love us? No.

I was alone.

And what did you do?

Nothing like that.

Nothing like that,

I'm not so sure.

You've got a nerve!

I gave you everything.

If I could have given you more

without taking you...

F***!

Never mind.

Anyone home?

There you are. I ust got back.

on't ust stand there.

Something to drink?

No thanks, I'm okay.

How's the tour going?

The horses are resting.

I'm off to the Camargue tomorrow.

All my childhood friends are there.

ad and I take the horses out

for three days at a time.

We sleep under the stars.

We can see them like I see you now.

It's the first time.

What is?

That I've been here.

Here.

How's Richard?

He still loves horses.

What did I do wrong?

You're a bit too fond of his wife.

It's weird.

I've never touched his wife.

In fact, it's fine that way.

Leave some for me.

Oh, sorry.

What way?

This way. You, me,

things we don't say, things...

I don't always understand you.

You're young.

That's normal at your age.

You too.

And that's not normal.

What?

Nothing.

Heard the latest blonde oke?

What's a brown hair on a blonde?

A glimmer of hope.

Why do blondes wear their hair

like this?

I don't know.

Want some music?

I have to go.

That late.

What time do you leave?

Two o'clock.

Call me, I'll call you.

Mommy!

Okay, love?

The arrow got stuck in the tree.

I went to get the arrow.

Mommy, can we watch TV?

Yes, if you want.

You and Richard

have to be reasonable.

Can he see them?

He has the keys.

He can come anytime.

He can?

He always calls first.

Anyhow, I have nothing to hide.

It's your decision.

But you might

change your mind later.

I don't think so.

You're saying that now...

The thing is, now is what I need.

I'm sick of mulling over things

I can never change.
