The Very Private Life of Mister Sim Page #4

- I think the blond one likes me, over there...

- We are leaving.

- Dad, there is no network at all here.

- That's probably because of the mountains.

- But what are we going to do? We're lost, we won't find a hotel?

- Of course we will find one, don't worry.

Looking for satellites.

You think I'm making something stupid?

- Or I turn around and I bring her back?

- Looking for satellites.

Why are you looking for satellites? Are we lost or what?

- Unknown road.

- We are lost !

I'm going to stop here.

Dad, dad, wake up, what is this?

Turn on the engine, go back !

I can't leave, the seats won't come back up, I will tell him.

- Do something, move it !

- I can't, impossible.

- Dad, I want to go back.

- Ah no... We go to the coast, right?

- I called all the police stations, the hospitals. Thank you.

- I'm sorry, I don't know what I was thinking...

- I won't do it again, I swear.

- Do you hear yourself?

You sound like a kid who got caught.

I was happy to spend some time with her.

- Actually, you are not good. You realize?

- No no, you are wrong.

No no, I bounce back... You know I have a new job?

I'm getting better.

- You should see someone.

- Who?

Doctor Escoffier's office?

Eee... No, no... Nothing.

Continue straight.

Calculating.

The thing is, I know all the roads to Roanne. All of them.

I spent 23 years of my life here, so... You won't teach it to me.

- In 300 meters, take the 2nd turn right.

- This repair shop has always been here.

This was my school ! It was not red before...

I was going to school there.

This is where I met Lino.

We became friends right on the spot. He was my best friend.

After, he went in a high-class college...

And Luigia, his sister ! She was just one class under...

Luigia Matteoti... If you saw her at 18...

Shall we go?

Lino, are you going to swim?

We are going in with Franois.

You think it fits me?

Come, it's warm !

I don't have my swimsuit...

Leave me alone !

You see, this was the house of the Matteoti...

And this was mine.

- It's not made in China? - Ah no, no... You can keep it.

- Thank you very much.

- I give you two, everyone is happy.

- It's too bad you don't see Lino anymore. You were such good friends.

- What happened?

- Well, life... You know...

- You know, Luigia lives in St Etienne now, with her husband Philippe...

- Ah, yes...

But he's always travelling. Never here.

- It's a hybrid car, right?

- Yes, it's a 3008 Crossover.

- Modern... A good car.

- Luigia would be so happy to see you.

- I haven't seen her in 15 years.

- The battery is good?

- I think so, yes.

- I can call her if you want.

- Electric cars are not very nervous...

- Well, no, they are... The thing is, I have no time to...

- And Caroline, how is she?

We are separated since 6 months.

- Lino didn't tell me anything.

- But do they age well? This is the usual problem with electrics.

- Have you been to a marriage counsellor?

- Well, yes... But it didn't help.

- Here are the keys of your father's apartment.

- I called Luigia. She will be happy to see you. Here is the address.

I will try, but...

- You know, your father receives postcards regularly...

- From who?

What is your father shooting?

I don't know, details of nature... Stones, roots...

- He puts them in albums, it's his passion.

- Do you know about photography?

- Not really.

- He never taught you?

Not really.

- Franois? Here. I made you a sandwich with La Vache Qui Rit.

- Thanks mum.

Wait, wait... Ah, it's great.

Don't move, it's good like this.

- You want to drink?

- Wait, one minute... I'm almost there.

You know, there are other ways to warm up...

I will succeed, don't worry.

- I'm so happy, you have no idea.

- Me too...

Come in !

My kids are everywhere : one is in Spain,

the elder is studying in England...

My husband Philippe is in Malaysia.

Maybe he will be back tonight. You never know.

We haven't see each other in 15 years...

This calls for at least one glass of Champagne.

- You haven't changed... Still beautiful.

- Thank you. You too.

- No, not me...

- No no, you haven't changed that much...

- You think it fits me?

- Ah yes.

The fattened chicken from Bresse and its fig compote.

I think it's me.

- You don't like it?

- It's just that I don't like not to know what I'm eating.

- Do you know Autogrill?

I will show you something which will make you laugh.

I found that in my father's stuff.

- You remember those holidays?

- Sainte Victoire.

I was so stupid that day. I didn't go with you in the tent...

- And then it was too late, you had your idea about me, and...

- No, it's not exactly that.

You didn't understand why this photo was bend in two?

After those holidays, I was still thinking of you.

One day, I decided to come to your house to tell you.

You weren't there.

To see your father like this, I was disgusted.

I could not think of you the same way.

- Had it been you, I think I would have been touched...

- But I could never have done this.

- I shouldn't have told you that, I'm sorry...

- No, on the contrary...

- You are going through a depression...

- You studied psychology, right?

- Please follow the itinerary on screen.

- Please, not now.

- Sorry?

- Who were you speaking to?

- To you, to you.

- For a minute, I thought you were speaking to your GPS!

- No, not at all !

Make yourself comfortable.

- What about a whisky?

- Sure.

Honey it's me, I'm calling from the airport...

I can't come home tonight... I will call you later. Kisses.

So, he won't come back tonight?

Would you be happy if I was giving you a toothbrush?

Well, when it's not there, you can't force it...

Are you going to bed?

- Continue for 5 km, then...

- Ah, don't begin with your sh*t, OK?

Not today.

- Calculating.

- Calculating, calculating... Shut up, b*tch.

Eat this !

Now what do you say, Manu?

You ain't so talkative suddenly, right?

I'm sorry, Emmanuelle. I should never have done that to you.

- I forgive you.

- I guess you arrived on the coast... Everything's fine?

You are not calling me much...

- So, where are you?

- I just passed St Etienne.

- But the other 3 arrived, you know? They are on their way back...

Well yes, but I respect the...

The "cleanliness rule".

- The "Cleanliness Contract"!

- Yes, that's it.

OK, well, Sim, shift up a gear now...

I hope at least your video diary will be good!

What I like when extracting potatoes :

You never know what you will get.

Which size, which amount...

It creates a little suspense.

What is this? What is this? It's the IP009 !

Here is a potato which will be eaten, some day.

By who?... Who knows.

Crowhurst was now the last competitor, and therefore the winner.

He was trapped.

Back home, his publicist was working hard

so that he would be welcomed as a hero by everybody.

On board, he was panicking. He couldn't stand the idea

of having to lie for the rest of his days.

So, after 8 months alone in the sea,

he decided to lose his mind.
