A World Without Women Page #3

---

You've got time.

You'd be a good dad.

A good husband too.

Really?

I think you could make

a woman happy.

Do you?

- Yes.

- You think so?

- Want an ice-cream?

- Yes, please.

Thanks.

What?

Nothing, I'm just looking at you.

You're pretty.

Here...

Are you a libertine

or a sentimentalist?

So... You meet your single neighbour

at midnight in the stairwell.

Mum, you're such a pain!

Can't you see I'm reading?

This one is beautiful.

A royal coin.

This is a louis.

- And this?

- I found that in Ault.

Good evening.

Good evening.

I'll have a whisky, please.

Can I smoke?

Of course.

It's fine in here.

Have you got a light?

Thanks.

She's a sweetheart though.

Never been any trouble.

I had her young.

Now she's off to study

in the USA for a year.

It's great. You're lucky.

With my second child

it's a bit complicated.

The eldest has just had a baby.

- So you're a grandmother?

- Yes.

Bravo!

- Want to see a photo?

- Oh yes!

She's cute.

He's a boy.

You can never tell at that age.

A nice photo.

Did you take it?

No, a photographer did.

Oh, right.

Can I have a seat?

Sorry, I didn't have time to change.

Next time you turn up like that,

I'm making you strip.

Instead of talking rubbish,

show her your coin.

Careful, it's my grandson's.

Really? Oh, right.

It's from the year 80 BC.

Constantinus.

It's pretty.

It has a nice side, unlike him!

Is that Adam and Eve?

- Can I get you a drink?

- Yeah.

- The same.

- No, I've got work tomorrow.

I'm not lazy like him,

I get up at 5 a.m.

Easy! I'll pay for it.

I don't care if you're paying.

Tell him to get lost, Francine.

Or I'll knock his head off!

I feel like I've got a bodyguard.

All that's missing

is the flashing light.

Do you want a nightcap?

I've got some good whisky.

It's no mansion, but it's cosy.

That's sweet but it's late.

You're on holiday!

True, but my daughter's home alone.

Your daughter's a big girl.

I bet you like summer.

Lots of fresh meat around.

I'm not like that. I'm like

everyone else, looking for love.

Really?

You're a romantic?

Yeah.

- Why are you laughing?

- No reason.

It's been hard since I got here.

I didn't know anyone at first.

All my colleagues

are married with kids.

It's dead here in winter.

I could shoot myself

on Saturday nights.

All the girls get married at 20.

So it'd be nice if I slept with you,

because you're in a pickle?

No, not at all.

I just want to kiss you

because you're beautiful.

Just a kiss.

Wait...

Stop it.

Stop it!

Sh*t!

I've decided not to sleep

with anyone any more.

That's sad.

It's not sad.

Sh*t!

I've had too much to drink.

I'm babbling.

Forget it, I'm going in.

Wait a minute.

What?
