The New Girlfriend Page #4

You're good for Claire.

She hardly mentions Laura anymore.

It's funny.

When I met Claire

I was jealous of Laura.

They were so close.

I even thought they were together.

Laura always loved men.

Of course, Claire too.

You put ideas in our heads.

Ideas?

We've decided to have a baby.

- Need some help?

- No, thanks.

Have a good day.

You too.

Sorry.

I suck today.

You're doing fine.

I'm off my game.

Look.

- Why's he here?

- I invited him for doubles.

Hey, David!

- Looking good.

- Glad you came.

- Hello, Claire.

- Hi, David.

I'll let you two play.

- Let's play doubles.

- We're three.

You two against me, ok?

Let's go.

We'll crush him, Claire.

How are you?

Great look.

I prefer you in skirts.

Go on.

Got it.

I need some water.

Why'd you stop calling?

I didn't want to bother you.

You said it was over.

- I just meant...

- I was afraid.

Of what?

Starting again.

You stopped?

Yeah.

Since we stopped.

Let's play-

- Need a ride?

- I've got my car.

What about Claire?

Women always shower by the hour.

Sh*t, forgot my racket!

Something wrong?

I miss Virginia.

Wait.

Come with me.

Stop.

We can't do this to Laura.

Took you long enough.

- Did you see David?

- Yes.

- Is he coming?

- He said not to wait.

Sorry for tennis.

Tomorrow 1:
30 Virginia Hotel.

Hi, Claire.

Hi, Virginia.

Sorry, I'm a bit late.

I was changing in a room.

Here you go, ladies.

I ordered champagne.

For our reunion.

Thank you.

You got me back into it.

I'm sorry.

During dinner at your house

I realized...

I was falling in love with you.

You were right.

It was better to end it.

But at tennis,

when you said,

"I miss Virginia,"

it all came rushing back.

I missed her too.

I can't let my life pass me by.

It's inside me.

Only you can help me accept it.

What do you want to do?

A little shopping?

Let's stop lying to ourselves.

You want it as bad as I do.

What are we doing?

Don't speak.

What's wrong?

Sorry, I can't.

Why not?

You're a man!

What're you doing,

are you crazy?

No, I am woman.

Liz and Robert are here.

It's terrible, kids.

What happened?

A car hit him as he crossed the street.

How is he?

He's in some kind of coma.

The doctor says he may not wake up.

It's awful. Laura left us 6 months ago

and now David.

He's still alive, Liz.

But poor Lucie

could wind up an orphan.

- Where's Lucie?

- With her nanny.

Looking after her is too hard for us.

Can we see David?

Yes.

But...

You should know something first.

What?

Tell them.

So...

David, for some reason,

was found dressed as a woman.

As a woman?

He was wearing a skirt and a wig.

Really?

We can't imagine why.

He may have been going

to a costume party.

It was early afternoon!

Please keep it to yourselves.

No one can know.

You can trust us, Liz.

Did you know he was crossdressing too?

Yes.

Incredible.

Why didn't you tell me?

I'm sorry.

Are you sure about Lucie?

Yes, I'm her godmother.

How will we manage?

It's no small feat.

I'll take time off to care for her.

I promised Laura.

Thanks.

Don't forget her bottle in an hour.

Bye.

Lucie, how are you?

We came to get you.

You'll sleep at our house tonight.

Ok?

Get the door.

David, it's me.

I came with Lucie.

Can you hear me?

It's good you brought the baby.

You think so?

And the more you talk to him,

the better his chances.

Virginia...

Virginia, it's me.

I'm here with Lucie.

Can you hear me?

Virginia...

David!

Madam!

- What is it?

- He woke up!

Sir, can you hear me?

- I swear he opened his eyes.

- I believe you.

Unfortunately

it doesn't mean he's awake.

Your presence is good for him.

David.

Hello!

Not so loud, Lucie's sleeping.

How is she?

Fine. I just put her down.

I've got good news.

What?

Max called me in today.

He's giving me a promotion,

and a raise!

Wonderful.

Show a little enthusiasm.

I'm happy for you.

What is it now?

Nothing.

David's still in a coma.

These things take time.

Don't worry.

It feels like Laura all over again.

Same hospital.

It's horrible.

Yes, but stop bringing Laura into it.

You must forget her.

It's about David now.

You're right.

It's David now.

The men I used to see were bizarre

As light as the ashes from their cigars

They threw parties

at the Chateau de Versailles

But they possessed nothing inside

In that golden desert

I was wasting my time

I was alone when your eyes met mine

Others were buried

You were alive

You sang just like a child

You were as happy as an Italian

who knows there will be love and Wine

And for the first time ever in my life

I felt like a...

woman

A women

with you

You reminded me of a time now past

When white horses ran free and fest

Your face was grave, your smile bright

I walked straight into your light

No matter what we do we're making love

When Pm with you time flies like a dove

For you are a man and you are kind

You know how to make our lives shine

You're as happy as an Italian

who knows there will be love and Wine

Every time is like the first time

when finally, I became...

a woman...

You like that!

We're in here.

Hi, Gilles.

Meet my friend.

But...

It's you, David.

No, it's my girlfriend Virginia.

Lucie's mother.

Hi, sweetie.

I'll explain.
