Romuald et Juliette Page #5

---

I stayed just to see you.

What's going on, Mr. Blache?

I'm in a bit of a pinch because in the move,

I lost a very important paper.

Yes, I saw that Mr. Blindet left his office.

He's not coming back?

No, I am taking his place.

Nicole and Paulin, too?

Their offices are empty.

No, they were all fi... I mean, replaced.

Tell me, Juliette. You haven't seen

a box of mine in some office?

- No, I didn't see a box.

- And you didn't throw anything away?

No, I never throw anything away,

only what's in the garbage bins.

I brought home a box full of papers.

- Yes?

- And I thought that this paper was in it,

but it's not.

Really? That is quite annoying.

It's more than annoying.

It's a real catastrophe.

My God, what can we do?

Listen, I will look everywhere. But...

Could it be at Mr. Cloquet's place,

your paper?

What do you mean, at Mr. Cloquet's?

Why at Mr. Cloquet's?

I don't know, I'm just saying.

Sometimes at night, I see Mr. Cloquet

working in other people's offices.

What do you mean,

working in other's offices?

Well, yes, working, looking at papers...

Really?

All right, I'm sorry,

I don't want to bother you, Mr. Blache.

- Lf I see the box, I'll tell you

right away. - Right.

What time do you finish work, Juliette?

- At 4:
30.

- Every day?

- Yes, except on Fridays I leave at 1:00.

- Very well.

What annoys me, you see, is that even if

I get rid of this traffic accusation,

- I still have to deal with the

poisoning affair. - Of course.

I must catch Cloquet out.

But I wonder if the paper on which he talks

about Marton and coliform is enough...

Don't worry about it.

It's been taken care of.

- How come? What was taken care of?

- Blache will deal with Cloquet.

- Just wait here quietly. It will

all work out. - I don't understand.

I took care of it.

All we need is a photocopy

of Cloquet's paper

and for you to write

a little anonymous letter.

Wait, wait, explain this to me.

- Is Aim home?

- Yes, he's sleeping.

- What time did he come home?

- At 11:
00.

What does he do out there every night?

- All right, so how did it go?

- As expected. Blache was hiding in a car.

As soon as I left,

he hurried inside the building.

I was sure he'd come on Friday,

because I leave at 1:00.

That leaves him plenty of time

to go through Cloquet's office.

What will surprise him

is your letter on his desk.

"Who was it that poisoned

the St Symphorien yoghurt?

"Attached is a lead from Cloquet's hand.

Can you conduct the investigation?

"A friend who will always owe you. "

"Marton. St Symphorien factory.

Coliform concentration. "

Juliette, I wanted to tell you how much

I appreciate everything you've done.

Don't mention it.

Tell me, Mr. Blindet,

there was one thing I wanted to ask you.

Could you sleep in my bed tonight?

I mean, on the mattress,

in the childrens room.

I'm sorry to ask you this,

but I haven't slept in days.

Pardon me, I'm ashamed.

You should have told me before.

Especially since you work nights.

No, it doesn't matter.

It's just for one night.

Because this weekend,

I probably won't be able to rest much.

- It's husbands' day.

- What day?

Husbands' day.

That's what the children call it.

Once a year, all husbands come over,

and give presents to the children.

- Really?

- Yes, before, birthdays were too dramatic.

One would forget the date,

the other couldn't come,

the other didn't bring a present,

the other would bring so many.

So I said, "We'll have one party

for all birthdays on one day,

"everyone brings one present, that's it. "

No one is jealous.

Really? And how many

husbands do you have?

- Five. But ex-husbands, fortunately.

- All right.

So, I'll let you get some sleep. Excuse me.

- Good night.

- Good night.

- Dad!

- Hi there, kids! Hello, Claire.

Yes, it's for you. Present.

That's great.

- What's going on? Douta's not here?

- We waited at the caf, he didn't show up.

Hello, sir.

Here we are.

Go on, push the truck.

Great!

You like it? That's good.

Look, candy, children.

- Aim's father didn't come.

- Really? Oh, that's too bad.

If there's one who needs his father

right now, it's Aim.

Wait, I'll buy him a present quickly,

I'll be right back.

- No, no, don't bother.

- Of course!

- But I can't live without you.

- Of course, you can.

I want you all the time.

- Stop it.

- We were so good together. Why stop?

I feel better like this, alone.

- But I love you.

- I also love you very much.

So then...

I don't feel like it anymore, that's all.

- You have someone else.

- No.

- You're with that white man?

- What? Are you crazy?

- Benjamin told me he sleeps here.

- So what? That doesn't mean I'm with him.

- So, what is he doing here?

- That's enough, Otou, go see your son.

- I found something for Aim.

- That's nice, but you didn't have to.

- Where is he?

- On his bed.

Here

It's a Walkman.

I got you some tapes,

but I don't know what you like.

You can exchange them.

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

- Ma'am?

- Excuse me, I have an urgent message

for my boss, Patrice Blindet.

He plays here every Sunday morning.

Yes, he's here.

Please wait, I'll go get him.

I'm sorry to bother you,

I've come here on behalf of your father,

Mr. Romuald.

He's asked me to tell you

that he's thinking of you,

Valerie and your mother,

that he will be home very soon

and that you should not worry.

- But where is he?

- He cannot say for now.

- And you, who are you?

- I'm just...

I'm...

Well, nothing.

Please, don't tell anyone about my visit.

It could put him in a lot of trouble.

Just tell your sister and your mother

that he will be home soon.

- That's it?

- Yes.

Yes. He said, "Where is he?"

And he asked me who I was.

- And they looked well?

- They looked very well.

- And my wife was with them?

- Yes, she was playing with them.

How did she look?

I only saw her through a window, you know.

- And she was playing with them?

- Yes.

But how with them?

- Well, she was playing.

- Yes, but against who?

Well, I don't know.

She was in front of your son.

So, my daughter was playing with her.

No, no.

Your daughter was playing with your son.

What, both against my wife?

That's impossible.

My wife is a lousy tennis player.

No, it must have been my wife and daughter

against my son.

- Here, this is your shirt.

- Yes.

And they looked well?

- Do you like pizza?

- What?

Yes, I do.

Tonight, I'm making you a huge pizza

to help you forget your worries.

I'm happy you told me they looked well.

I heard what Benjamirs father said

on the landing.

- Otou, that's his name?

- Yes. What did you hear?

- He thought we were together.

- Can you believe that? He's crazy.

- Are you getting back together?

- No.

You're right.

Mind you, I love him very much.

I love them all very much.

When it's over, it's over, that's all.

But still, you might need a man.

No. Men are the ones who need us.

- You think so?

- I don't think it, I see it.

It's probably because

you've never really loved someone.
