Romuald et Juliette Page #7

---

- In prison?

- No, I didn't know. What happened?

- Your secretary didn't tell you?

My secretary?

Because I came to ask her

to give you the message.

Because Aim was caught trafficking drugs.

It's not too serious.

But at one point, I needed money

to make bail to let him out.

And mostly, to pay for a lawyer.

But you didn't get back to me, so, well...

In the end, he had a lawyer

appointed by the court.

He got the maximum sentence,

a year and a half.

Really?

But no one told me anything.

- The poor boy.

- And how much do you need?

No, no. I don't need anything anymore.

It was before, for the lawyer.

Now, he's serving his sentence.

That's all. It's all right.

I am very sorry. If I had known, I would

have lent you everything you needed.

That's nice, thank you.

Well, I'll let you get back to work.

No, I'm done. I'm leaving.

I would have liked to have coffee with you,

but there are people waiting for me at home.

- There's a reception.

- But maybe some other time, all right?

Yes, of course. All the best to your son.

Thank you.

- And please kiss the children for me.

- Yes.

And if you ever need anything else

for Aim, you can count on me.

Yes, yes. Thank you very much.

Good evening.

Good evening. How are you?

Excuse me, I'm late.

Good evening. How are you?

Everything is all right? You're not dancing?

I'm coming.

- Good evening.

- Good evening.

Please. Come, help yourselves.

Charles. Pleased to meet you.

Excuse me.

What are you two up to?

It's great. He gave me

an Electronic Mastermind.

He's very good.

Soon he won't write out the problems,

he'll solve them in his head.

Here, this time, I'll try in my head.

What an idiot.

What an idiot!

What a terrible idiot!

Wait, here.

- Thank you, sir.

- Thank you, that will be all.

Here Here are the keys to my apartment,

they're all yours.

I'm staying at a hotel.

I like you very much.

Be happy with Franoise.

She loves you. So do the children.

You will make them happier than me.

I'm such an idiot

for not having seen this sooner.

Don't say anything.

Life is short, very short.

But it's beautiful, beautiful!

I'll take it.

But Romuald, it's too much.

I have more than enough with half.

No, no. Write me down

for 30,000 of alimony a month

and the apartment

and the house in Deauville, all hers.

But you don't have to. You're not guilty.

You have no idea how good it feels

to see again.

What?

Yes, I am recovering

from a lifelong eye disease.

I couldn't see anything.

Mrs. Bonaventure,

my wife and I just got divorced.

She is very happy with Paulin.

I'm giving her everything.

She won't need a thing.

I bought a house in the country,

close to Paris, for you and your children

and I have come here

to humbly ask you to marry me.

What?

One day you asked me

if I had ever really loved somebody,

and I didn't answer because I didn't know.

Now, I know.

Now, I really love somebody

for the first time in my life.

Well, listen, Mr. Blindet,

you have lived in my home, all right?

I helped you out of your troubles.

At one point, I asked you to help me

and you couldn't do it, all right?

You felt bad. You were very kind.

And in a moment of weakness,

you and I slept together, all right?

Well, you see, that story ends now.

All right?

The story is over.

Over! You understand?

Over.

- I love you.

- Right, let me tell my horse about it.

- I want to marry you.

- Right, marry me, and then what?

You think people get married just like that?

And what I want, do you care?

- I don't want you!

- Why don't you want me?

He wants to know why!

Because you're white, Mr. Blindet!

Because you're the boss of all bosses!

Because you're the kind of man

who can't be trusted at all.

Because you think everyone is your maid.

Because you couldn't bother to carry

a grocery bag or wash a lousy plate!

Because you're blind!

Because you think you can buy everything.

Because you slept in the big bed every night

while I was killing myself with my job,

my five kids, still running your errands

and cleaning up your mess.

Because you can go to hell,

Mr. Romuald Blindet!

Because I'd rather starve to death

than live a single day with a man like you!

- Is that what I'm like?

- No, that's not what you're like.

What I said just now

is nothing compared to what you're like.

This is what I'm like. It's true.

But I've changed.

Goodbye, Mr. Blindet, and good luck.

Tell me, a while back,

a certain Mrs. Juliette Bonaventure

came here and left a message for me.

I remember very well, crazy woman!

In fact, I gave the front desk a piece

of my mind to have let her up here.

She had the nerve to come back.

I didn't...

Wait, you see this door?

- This door?

- Yes, this door.

Well, miss, you will take all of your stuff,

you will walk through this door,

you will walk down

to the personnel director,

you will ask for this month's salary,

your compensation, all the details,

you will walk out of this building,

and if I ever see you again,

I will tear you to pieces.

Mrs. Juliette Bonaventure

happens to be the woman that I love

- and that I plan on marrying.

- But...

You are paid to take messages

and pass them along,

not to be a cop!

You may have ruined my life forever!

Get the hell out of here!

- Mrs. Bonaventure?

- Yes, but she's sleeping.

- We're here to deliver the appliances.

- What appliances?

Well, the dishwasher

and the washing machine.

Really?

SOME FLOWERS FOR YOU

I DIE WITHOUT YOU

JULIETTE, DON'T WORK

TOO HARD TONIGH:

- Mrs. Bonaventure?

- Yes?

I am Mr. Blindet's chauffeur,

I have to drive you home every morning

and take you to work every night.

Well, you can tell Mr. Blindet...

I'm sorry to interrupt, but Mr. Blindet said

that if I can't convince you

to get into the car,

he would fire me.

- He said that?

- Please let me drive you.

No.

In the back, please.

- Will he also fire you if I sit in front?

- No.

- Are you Mrs. Bonaventure's children?

- Yes.

Mr. Blindet is waiting for you in the car.

- Good morning!

- Good morning!

If you want,

I can drive you to school every day,

but please, you can't tell Juliette.

Why?

Because she's a little mad at me

because I left,

but now I'm back, and I'm here to stay.

Have you ever seen a car like this?

Is there a TV in your car?

Ah, no, shoot...

So, that's it, he got back to you?

- Who?

- I have a new lawyer. He's great.

He knows the judge

who carries out the sentences.

He will meet with him, and it looks like

I'll be out of here in two or three weeks.

- What are you talking about?

- You didn't take care of this?

Hey, Ma'am, the elevator is working!

- What?

- Well, yes, we just fixed it.

- Why is it working?

- Because we fixed it.

- But why did you fix it?

- Well, because it was not working.

Yes, but why now?

It's been out of order for months.

Well...

So, there's a TV in the car now?

When you get out, if you want,

you can come work with me.

I don't want to be a boss.
