The Queen of Hearts Page #3

---

For that,

you have to show me at least once.

Then you can show it to others.

This evening we could go to the cinema

or a restaurant?

Or let's go to the pool.

It's open late on Thursdays.

Good idea.

You know how to swim?

Of course!

Jacques!

Forgive me, Adele!

Forgive me, my love!

What you said the other day

made me think.

I'm giving it all up for you!

Everything!

But, Jacques,

I'm sorry, but you're mistaken.

There's been a big misunderstanding.

That's not at all what I meant.

Oh, Jacques.

I beg you!

Please, you're acting crazy!

No! No, Adele!

Wait! Let yourself go, finally!

Gladys slaps Jacques, fires Adele

and advises her

to leave Rachel out of it.

Adele is deeply hurt. She has lost

her job and must lie to her cousin.

She continues to accompany her

every day to the park,

turns round,

goes home and waits.

She does her best

so that Rachel doesn't notice.

Rachel is very happy

as Adele is working less.

What's happening to us?

I don't know.

My heart's beating.

Mine too.

My stomach hurts.

Mine too.

Don't tease me.

I'm not teasing.

I feel like I'm in a dream.

Me too.

Do you want to meet again?

I really want to.

Me too.

Give me your number.

I don't have one.

Then call me.

You'll call?

Yes.

That's love at first sight

Right?

In 10 seconds, a new world

Right?

But who is he?

Where is he? Tell me

I think of him

I faint

That's it

A crazy encounter

Our eyes meet

I'm bewitched

For the rest of my days

I think I've met

a brand new love

That I want to keep for ever

I want to see again

His magic smile

The softness of his hands

His aquiline nose

To know this boy's name and age

His favorite cake

In short, who he is.

You bug me, that's bugging me.

I'm jealous, that's it.

I envy you.

Why couldn't that happen to me?

- Not true, the Italian.

- Oh, sure!

I was so cold with him,

he was afraid to come.

Now, apart from three lousy text messages,

I've almost no news.

- Go see him.

- To get a slap in the face? Thanks.

You can't know that.

Me, I'd go.

You're lucky, you're a lot more simple.

I'm too suspicious.

Your guy there...

me, I'd never have gone.

I'd have told him to get lost.

You think he's fooling with me?

Don't ask me, I don't believe in love.

I don't believe in anything anymore.

- What's his name, anyway?

- No idea.

- You have his phone number?

- I learned it by heart.

I have to call him right away.

And my Italian, what should I do?

Should I call him back?

No, there's no point,

because you don't believe in it.

- You could lend me your ph...

- Don't even think it.

You can buy yourself a cellphone,

but no way am I lending you mine.

Hello, this is Adele,

the girl that you met

in the park.

So I'm calling you back

like you asked me.

My number!

So my phone number is...

I've got a new number...

which is 35698301

So you can ca...

Yes, hello, it's Adele again,

the girl that

you met in the park.

I still have a telephone

which works well,

but I gave you,

the wrong number. Here...

these things happen.

The right number is 0687794137.

There, I'll repeat it.

I look forward to speaking with you...

I mean to you calling.

There. Goodbye. Thanks.

What are you doing in the dark?

Are you okay?

What's the matter?

I think you're right,

he was messing with me.

- Your love-at-first-sight, no news?

- No.

Adele, I think you've got a message.

Adele, it's a text message!

Give me that.

Well?

"Adele, I waited so much for your call

that I made myself sick.

I think about you all the time. Paul. "

He's right in there.

Paul, it's Adele.

I just read your message.

So I ca...

"New message. "

Can you read it to me?

I'll show you.

It's not very complicated.

You go into Messages

then into Received.

You open the message received

- and you read it.

- No, go on. I prefer that you do it.

"Adele, I dream of hearing from you

but I detest the telephone.

I miss you. "

Answer -.1 mi s 5 You, too...

"Do you think about me?"

Answer "Yes, all the time. "

- No limits, this one.

- Well?

One moment!

"Adele, I'm hooked on you.

Do you think we have a future?"

What do you want to say to that?

Yes, obviously!

Answer "Yes, it's what I want. "

Go on!

- You're not scared.

- What?

"I want it, too.

When can we meet?"

As soon as possible. Write!

Hey, calm down!

I'm not the typist.

And I've got other things to do.

- When you've got the meeting, I stop.

- Okay.

Tomorrow,

same time, same place.

Oh, Pierre!

Adele, what are you doing,

all alone on this bench?

I'm waiting for someone.

What time was your meeting?

At 4:
00.

So he's very very late.

How did you know it's a man?

If it was a woman,

you'd already have left.

Too bad for you.

Lucky for me.

- Maybe he got held up?

- Maybe. Did you call him?

No, he hates the telephone.

But now you're here,

you can send him a message.

I don't know how to do it.

What shall I write?

Paul.

I'm in the park.

I'm waiting for you on the bench

next to the steps.

What are you doing?

I'm very very worried.

There, now we put the number.

There you are, sent.

"Message in transit. "

Perhaps he's in the subway.

You think?

I'll wait a bit longer then.

I've got to go.

I have to meet someone too.

Okay.

Now you've got a telephone,

call me.

We can meet up.

My number's even easier to remember.

Goodbye, Pierre.

Goodbye, Adele.

Thank you.

I'm in bed, darling.

I think I caught a cold.

I made myself some chicken soup.

We were shooting outside all day.

She's odd, Gladys, no?

Personality problems, maybe?

He didn't show up, right?

I knew it. He's a bastard.

He stood you up?

No. I think he maybe had a problem.

I'm really worried.

You shouldn't worry.

You should be furious.

It's super-disrespectful.

It's not difficult to let you know!

He has a phone. He leaves a message,

he calls, but not this!

- What are you going to do now?

- I don't know.

I'll leave him a message

to say I've gone home.

He'll never call you.

I know it.

He did that to provoke you.

You want to see him again?

Then send him a message where

you insult him, call him names.

- He'll never want to see me again.

- On the contrary, you'll see.

Anyway, he doesn't get my messages.

They're all in transit.

"Paul, I'm going home soon

because I'm cold. "

"Paul, I'm very sad

that you couldn't come.

I hope you didn't have

any problems. "

- What?

- What bullshit!

The guy walks all over you

and you say sorry.

He's not going to answer you.

Wait!

He's getting your messages.

I'm going to send him a message

to see if he's okay.

No! Insult him.

Call him names, the a**hole.

Who acts like that? No one!

He treats you badly,

and you do nothing!

He's never going to answer.

Maybe, but if he doesn't answer,

he doesn't really love me.

Grandma,

what big ears you have!

'All the better

to hear you with, my child.

'Grandma,

what big eyes you have!

'All the better to see you, my child.

'Grandma,

what big teeth you have!

'All the better to eat you with.
