'I'm sorry I've been out of touch,

my reception's awful out here.

'I'm feeling better than I have

in a long time, so don't worry about me.

'I met somebody, by the way.

I think you'd like her.

'She's not a b*tch. Ha-ha.

'When I get back,

I really wanna focus again

'and not be such a pain to you and Dad,

moping around the house all the time.

'I feel good being out here

and it was worth taking this trip.

'I think you'll be surprised

by how focused I am when I get back.

'I love you. Send my best to Dad.

'Love... your fox, Si.'

- Are you there?

- Yeah.

- Hey, how are you?

- Bad day.

What happened?

I saw a client at a hotel.

Very aggressive.

But he left me some coke.

Want a glass of wine?

Yeah, sure. That'd be nice.

You know...

the night I came into the bar

to say goodbye

and I saw you with that other guy?

Uh-huh?

I know that I shouldn't

have felt this way,

but it made me feel really weird.

Does it make you feel weird?

I was working.

Do you think people do what they do

just because they like it

and not because they have to?

You know, most of these guys...

If they would get hit by a car,

I would not even care.

W- w-what about their wives?

I mean, do you ever

think about their wives?

No, I don't think about that.

No...

Well, I mean, think about it

for a second, because...

most of these guys,

they are probably married, right?

And if their wives

knew about you, then...

well, they'd be very upset.

- It would ruin their lives.

- Probably.

And take the guy tonight, for instance.

I mean, is he married?

Yeah. He is.

Does he have money?

He does.

Oh. OK, I mean, imagine this.

Your phone... it doesn't have a camera.

But, if it did, you'd take this

and you'd put it right here.

Go sit over there.

And whatever happened in that room...

you would have it.

And then what?

Er, and then...

And then...?

I mean,

instead of taking a little money

from a lot of men,

you could take a lot of money

from one.

And it's so easy to use these guys.

Do you mind if I change the music?

No, go ahead.

It was the one thing they didn't take.

# When everybody leaves you lonely

# And times are worse than sad

# And the world is falling

on your head

# Just remember, for all you know

# Good or bad, come what may

# You're gonna live tomorrow

# If you don't die today

# It takes a muscle to fall in love

# It takes a muscle

to fall in love

# It takes a muscle to fall in love

# Now the fear got in me

# Cutting me deep

# That's where it's gonna stay

# And never leave

# Someone come and lay my worry

# Someone come and kill...?

I can't sleep.

Are you OK?

I was thinking about these guys.

They have wives.

They have money.

I don't know where they live,

but I have their numbers.

OK.

That's OK.

We could figure that out.

I got the phone.

Take a look.

I bought you a shirt.

Thank you.

- Do you like blue?

- Yeah... I do.

I love navy blue. It's got class.

It's perfect. Thank you.

Try it, like this.

Hold on! It's not right.

# There was a time when my world

was filled with darkness

# D-D-Darkness

# And I stopped dreaming now

I'm supposed to fill it up with something

# Something, something

Sorry, excuse me.

Are you Jean?

- Yes.

- Did you see a girl tonight?

What?

You have the number for Victoria?

Please send her a message with your email.

Why?

We have something to show you.

Well. Let's see it now.

Erm, no, I'm sorry.

That's not possible.

OK. I'm going to speak in French,

do you understand?

Yes, I understand.

I'm a cop.

Cop.

Understand?

Yes.

That means that I could,

if I wanted to...

I can break your f***ing head!

Do you understand?

Yes.

If I f*** a whore,

what's it to you, eh?

Do you really have something,

or are you just f***ing with me?

Cause if you do, I'll hurt you.

Understand?

I'm sorry. It's nothing. Forget it.

No!

Stop it.

Stop.

Stop.

Want to see what it feels like?

You're such a f***ing pain!

Hold on, let me show you.

Turn around.

Do you like that?

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Like that?

OK, come here.

Like that?

Yeah, that's good.

- Faster?

- Yeah..!

Oh, f***.

F***!

Come here.

You OK?

- Yes. And you?

- Yeah.

Have I told you about the first time

I saw a woman on the Boulevard?

I walked down the Boulevard.

My mother held my hand.

We were going to Sacr Coeur.

It was a Sunday.

That day...

I noticed a woman

leaning against the side of a building.

She was big.

She was wearing a miniskirt,

without stockings.

She stared at me.

She was beautiful.

She stared at me.

And with her finger,

she gave me a sign like this.

She was so close, I could smell her.

At that time,

I didn't know what the smell was.

Now, I know.

It was sex.

When I was older

I went back to find her,

just to ask her,

"What did you want with me?"

You see?

"What did you want to do

with an 8-year-old boy?"

Undress.

Ren?

Yeah.

You have Victoria's number?

Excuse me?

There's something Victoria would like

to show you.

Please send her a message

with your email.

Why?

So she can send you this video.

I could also leave it in your mailbox.

Wait, wait, wait...

Ren?

You're a kid.

Is this it?

- Do you have the film for me?

- No, not now.

It wasn't easy for me

to get this money.

I've got a wife, a kid, a home.

- Yeah, I understand.

- I have responsibilities.

Yeah. Yeah...

This isn't for me. This is for her.

Is this it?

Come on.

Don't make a scene. Please.

- I should buy you some shoes.

- Yes.

- Are you gonna hop on the Mtro?

- Why?

I think I'm just gonna walk from here.

- Yes?

- Yeah.

- Here?

- Yeah. There's a shop close by.

- I'll see you in a few hours... OK?

- OK.

- Bye.

- Bye, sweetie.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Are you sure about how you're feeling?

Look me in the eyes.

So?

Enough said. Want a drink?

Just a coke, please.

You'll come by again...

- I hope so.

- You won't forget us?

Of course not.

You're staying in Paris, I hope?

No, no, I'm not leaving.

No, one day at a time.

Love's fleeting.

Whatever it is,

I'm much better right now.

Here's to love!

May you find love, too!

Erm...

Hey!

Do you... remember me?

Yes! Yes, I remember you.

Yeah, um, Simon. You're...

...Marianne.

Marianne.

You live around here?

Yes...

What about you?

- Yeah, um...

- I thought you left Paris.

I was gonna leave,

but I liked it so much here

that I decided to stick around

for a little while.

And... where are you living?

I'm staying at a hotel nearby.

Look. I'm gonna meet somebody right now,

but can I call you?

- Yeah. You want my number?

- Yeah.

- Do you have paper?

- Yeah.

Look.

This is your fault.

It's you who did this.

What do I do?

- What?

- He didn't take the money.

OK.

Can I get you anything?

Here, I have something for you.

When I was a kid

my mom gave me this pin

because she said

I reminded her of a little fox.

Me... I always wanted to be a tiger.

Oh, yeah?

I always thought of myself

as more of a lion.

I always thought of myself
