The Last Day Page #2

No way.

- Sorry? - Nothing.

Who won?

England, three nil.

Could do with a TV here.

- Thanks! - What? Sorry.

Who wants a hot chocolate?

It's nothing...

Yeah? Like to see you.

You're pressing too hard. Let me try...

Got a bandage?

Yeah.

Really suits you.

Have a look.

How does it feel?

Isn't it a bit bridal?

No, it never reallywas.

It's nice and airy.

But not exactly Christmas.

That's the whole point.

Don't like Christmas?

Know anyone who does?

What's this dress?

Don't like it?

Looks like a wedding dress.

Your mother gave it to me.

Said we've got to dress up.

Look at me.

Close your eyes.

Okay.

Hurry up, they're ready downstairs.

The guests have arrived.

I need a little room...

They're here, but they don't go out.

He's okay, but she's not well.

She had breast cancer.

Really? I didn't know.

They removed the right breast.

Dearfriends, I propose a toast

to our new boat.

A happy NewYearto you all!

Happy NewYear!

And to the future

young married couple!

What are you making?

Vodka and apple.

Is it a nice mix?

- A new cocktail? - Taste...

It's strong.

Let me try again.

Not bad.

Want it?

Damn!

Broke my lipstick.

Can I taste too?

Smells like piss.

Show me?

Hey, it really suits you!

Should wear it more often.

Let's see again.

Thought you weren't coming.

I changed my mind.

Good.

Hi, three beers please!

Is it a problem that I...

get on well with her?

You sure?

I wouldn't want to...

Don't worry.

You know she's underage?

Not that it'd botheryou.

On the contrary, no?

Thanks.

Doesn't suit you at all.

What?

All that gaudy make-up.

I preferyou natural, without it.

And thosejingly bracelets

aren't too nice either.

They looktarty.

I thinkyour eyes are wonderful,

as if lit from within.

Like a Breton lighthouse.

How about a last drink?

Ifyou like... but I'm going to bed.

Me too.

Wait.

Can I have a cigarette?

I'll stay here a while.

Mom...

Mom...

What time is it?

What're you doing here?

I wanted some air and I dozed off.

Did you have fun?

Goodnight.

We said never again.

You said never again.

I said never again.

Feel guilty?

I would, if I were you.

And you feel no guilt?

I wish I'd never met you.

I know.

Why really did you return?

Foryou.

Liar.

You want to see him.

To meet him, is that it?

Yes.

I'm not the only one.

- Where'd you meet Simon? - In school.

Have to buy before you eat!

Right away, Madam.

Been together long?

But we're not together.

Not together?

No, we're kind offriends...

Like brother and sister?

Will that be all?

But you sleep together.

Yes, but we're not together.

Fancy some clementines?

Ripe, or not?

How much?

Half as many again?

There you go...

Thankyou.

Have a nice day.

Goodbye.

Where's my black polo shirt?

- In the cupboard. - I just looked.

Then, I don't know.

Whereveryou left it.

Are you taking the piss?

What's got into you?

Are you crazy?

What're you doing?

What're you doing?

See foryourself.

What's all this carry on?

I'm stifling...

I'm bored, ifyou prefer.

Where are you going?

Suddenly interested?

I'm going for a stroll,

along the harbour.

Don't you ever do that?

Alone, at all hours, no.

You're missing something.

Maybe, but ifyou keep...

Shut it! You bore me!

You don'teven knowwhyyou came.

Whyareyou here?

- Let's swim. - Don'tbe stupid.

I said, let's swim.

You're crazy, I have to go.

What time is it?

Marc, what time is it?

Marc, stop!

Answer, you scare me.

Marc!

Marie!

Should've told him.

Told him the truth,

from the very start.

But I'm not letting you go.

See? I'm holding

on and I won't let go.

Your mom's buggered off...

Don't knowwhat's needling her.

Always at a loose end, happy nowhere...

I dunno...

Must be the mid-life crisis.

You okay?

I guess.

You haven't seen the boat yet.

Tomorrow, ifyou want...

And where's yourfiance?

Myfiance?

Louise.

She's gone out.

Without you?

Yeah.

I'm gonna get some sleep.

Will I leave the door ajar?

No, you can close it.

Goodnight, son.

Simon!

Where were you? We looked all over.

I'm talking to you.

He bores you without me around, eh?

Think I don't notice?

I'm going, Simon.

With Mathieu...

North of Brittany, to Ile de Houat.

I think I'm in love.

And him?

Him too.

He'll come to Paris, which proves...

Which proves you're totally naive!

It proves nothing at all.

I love you, Simon.

You wait till you leave to say it?

You love people on the way out?

We can't love as we like...

but differently.

Yeah, sure.

I left my address and

phone number in the drawer.

Just go.

Maybe we ought to leave tonight?

One day more or less...

Why?

Fewer people on the roads.

Need time to pack...

It won't take long.

Simon wants to stay an extra week.

Leave the boat in the harbour, come backforthe weekend.

As you like...

When your brother died, your sisterwas two.

I wanted another child,

another boy...

Not to replace him, Simon...

You never did take

the place of the dead.

It was to live...

that life go on.

But your dad didn't want.

So...

I found one who did.

He leaves saturday from

the Grand Large Hotel.

If you want to see him

his name's Bromberg.

Marc...

Bromberg.

That door needs repainting.

Hello...

Hello.

I'd like to see Mr Bromberg...

Mister?

Bromberg, B-R-O-M-B-E-R-G

Sorry, he checked out this morning.

Really?

Thankyou.

Sorry, it's me again.

Whatroom was he in?

I'lljustcheck foryou...

Room 112.

Thankyou.

Am I dead?

Have I died or not?

I don't care...

Even if I am dead I'll return,

next year...

with my Mommy.

We'll go for a drive and sing songs.
