She treats me like an idiot.

I'm so ashamed.

What will happen to me?

I'm having a baby all on my own!

Calm down.

And as for Auntie...

It's just your imagination.

- We won't tell her for now, OK?

- All right.

- You're an angel.

- Dry your tears.

You'll keep the child.

Yes, Jean-Pierre.

You fought to have it,

you must keep it.

Catherine and I

will always be there for you.

With Auntie's money,

you can afford to bring up a child.

No more tears, now.

You have to be strong.

It's the smoke.

Could you put your cigarette out?

- I feel sick.

- Sorry, I'm an idiot.

- You don't want me to talk to Johnny?

- No! Not Johnny...

All right, fine.

Are you all right, Auntie?

She didn't hear you.

What would you say

to some herb tea?

- What is it?

- You can't look after Auntie in July.

- You'll come with us to Greece.

- And Auntie?

Don't worry. I have an idea.

I was worried about

spending July with Auntie.

Me too. It was

a big mistake to take her in.

I'll tell you something,

but don't mention it to Catherine.

I think she's nasty.

You're right.

She is nasty.

I've never known

anyone to be so nasty.

Edouard...

Wait till you hear this:

We won't be seeing Johnny.

Jeanne's got a bun in the oven.

- You're not eating.

- I can't. I feel sick.

I have a knot here.

With Jean-Marie,

I was sick for six months.

- Here's Jean-Pierre. Want to eat?

- Whatever you think.

Today's special

and some ros, please.

I've drawn up the advert.

"Urgent.

Person to care for elderly lady."

"Three weeks in July.

References required."

"Call 47586730 daytimes

and 47474421

before 9 am or after 7 pm."

- We're monsters.

- This is all my fault.

What are you saying?

Someone will look after her.

We're not monsters.

- We need somebody responsible.

- Who'll tell Auntie?

I'll tell her.

She'll be fine, you'll see.

They're all going

to Greece, even the idiot.

An unmarried mother.

It's shameful.

They didn't waste time.

They took all my money

and they're abandoning me.

I'm getting a nurse for three weeks.

They put an ad in the paper.

How do I know?

Jean-Pierre told me.

He was so slimy,

I knew something was up.

My nephew was a leech

and his son is just the same.

It's all Catherine and the idiot's idea.

They're always all over each other.

They've got him where they want him.

The coward. Lazy swine.

They'll never have the scarab

or the pearls, never.

I've been nice up to now,

but not any more.

I should just die.

God...

Help me get my revenge.

Come in.

- Dinner time.

- Just coming, darling.

- Wake up. Auntie's ill.

- What's wrong?

She threw up.

Help me. Call Dr Gelin.

Perfect, no temperature.

You ate too much.

I have to go back to work today.

Agathe can't cope on her own.

- Is everything OK?

- All right.

Try to get up today.

The doctor said it would do you good.

I've prepared

your food and medicine.

Don't worry about answering the phone.

- I'll try to be home early.

- You're so kind.

We've asked the Lemoines

to come over on Saturday.

- Do you mind?

- Not in the least.

I got you some magazines.

Thank you.

See you later. I'd better dash.

Off you go.

Cow!

Make sure they're parallel.

- What's parallel?

- Nice and straight, next to each other.

That's good.

Auntie wouldn't eat.

She's tired, she's going to bed.

What's up with her now?

I'll see her when I finish.

We should never

have invited the Lemoines.

I heard her singing this afternoon.

I'll decorate the table, if you like.

- Thanks, darling.

- I'll go and get some flowers.

The country's beautiful.

The biggest problem is the Greeks.

- Hateful.

- Are you joking?

- No, really!

- Marc is right...

But you don't see them much.

- Just a drop.

- I hope there'll be young people.

There'll be plenty.

Especially Scandinavians.

This is delicious...

The sauce is wonderful.

Is it "Le Ntre"?

No, it's from a delicatessen

near the salon.

- Thanks for the tip.

- They hate tourists.

There's one I like...

Melina Mercouri.

You don't see her so much now.

- She's the Minister of Culture.

- That's true.

- Isn't she Joe Dassin's mother-in-law?

- That's right.

Let's drink a toast to your holiday.

To Greece!

May I introduce my aunt?

Don't let me disturb you.

I'll sit in the lounge.

You're flying Air France, I hope?

It's an excellent service.

- Do you have long in Athens?

- Four hours.

That gives you plenty of time

to visit the Plaka.

- Right, darling?

- The Plaka?

Oh, yes, it's beautiful.

We must give them

the address of that jewellers.

Which?

The one who makes

the ram-head bracelets.

Of course, I have the address somewhere.

Take plenty of Deutschmarks.

It's like the Germans never left.

If there's anything to eat...

I wouldn't say no.

Right away, Auntie.

Your aunt's peculiar.

Take care of your guests, I'll do it.

Can you believe it?

She's getting worse.

- And the ad?

- It's been a disaster. No replies.

Enough is enough.

I've had it up to here.

If I had worked...

Thank you...

I'd have done interior design.

If it were up to me,

I'd redo my flat every two years.

But Marc is so traditional.

- Sugar?

- Never with lemon tea.

I'd like another cup.

Blanchard is one of the best

in terms of exports.

- Is that enough?

- A bit more.

- His problem is that he won't delegate.

- He's been getting worse.

One should never

marry one's secretary.

That's below the belt!

I love your colour scheme.

I've always adored yellow,

it's so bright.

- No, thank you.

- It's decaf.

- All right, then.

- You see...

I've got a thing about...

...blinds.

Old age is terrible.

Shut up, you halfwit.

Go away.

It's me!

- Careful, I spilt oil.

- How's Auntie?

In a bad mood.

She's watching TV.

- Any replies?

- Yes, but nobody suitable.

Evening, Auntie.

Look... I bought a TV for your room.

It'll come in handy

during the holidays.

- I'll be dead next week.

- Don't say that.

The doctor says you're fine.

Your blood pressure's better than mine.

I'll set it up.

- Is there a little box?

- Of course.

They're rolling in it.

- The boys?

- Jean-Christophe is at Vincent's.

Jean-Marie and Charles

are rehearsing in his room.

- How's it going, boys?

- It's tough. It's Racine.

Agathe's taking care of everything.

She's so dynamic.

Service is slow.

- Take it easy.

- I have a client at two.

- Is Jean-Marie getting blonder?

- It's nothing, just peroxide.

- What do you mean?

- It's not a problem.

Auntie's the problem.

We only got six replies, none suitable.

She wet her bed again this morning.

- Old women always pee in bed.

- But we're leaving in one week.

I know.

There must be someone to look after her.

- I'm late.

- Two people called about the ad.

One couldn't do the dates, but

the other's coming in this afternoon.

- Is that OK?

- Thanks, Agathe.

- Did she say anything else?

- She's got references.

- Her name's Sandrine Vonnier.

- Great.

- What time?

- Four.

- Your client's here.

- What for?
