dish-washer, cooker, fridge...

She's my ex.

We're still good friends.

Associates too,

we share the same surgery.

Shall we go on?

So,

this will be the child's room,

I hope...

For now it's a laundry,

but I'll totally redo it.

It has its own bathroom,

in there.

Take a look.

And it gives onto the courtyard.

Cool in summer.

Well, you've seen it all

except the upstairs bedroom...

After you!

I'll be giving your request

initial approval

and you must consult a registered

doctor and psychologist

from this list here.

Wonderful.

So then,

I'll be hearing from you?

You will.

Goodbye, Mr Bernier.

Goodbye, thank you.

Hello?

Cathy?

Someone's at the door.

Call you back.

Yes?

It's Mrs Charpentier!

Sorry, we forgot the photocopies.

Of course, come in.

I'll go get them.

There you go.

I think it's no longer necessary.

Sorry?

You know perfectly well.

Damn!

Mrs Charpentier, wait!

We were drunk, he's a friend

and totally straight.

Dammit!

Think I enjoy

this humiliating farce?

I can be a good father.

Straight or gay,

what matter?

Our job is to take every precaution

for kids already traumatised.

But I'm a paediatrician

I know how to bring up a child!

That's not for me to say.

We have clear instructions.

Listen, you could forget

you ever saw that photo.

For you, it's just a signature.

But for me, it's my whole life.

I beg you!

I can't do that, Mr Bernier.

I'm sorry.

France will change fast

on such issues.

Who'd have imagined

that holy old Spain

would authorise

gay adoption and marriage?

You'll soon have the same problems

as us all

marriage, kids, even divorce.

What if we had a baby together?

Don't be silly.

In university, one night,

you told me:

"If I'm single at 40,

you can father me a child."

Was I drunk?

Face facts,

that biological clock is ticking...

So I'm making my formal request:

Will you have a child with me?

Please, Cathy?

Nice to think of me, but no.

But why?

It'd mean I'd given up

on loving some man

who'd father my child.

Well, I haven't.

But think about it.

If I were you

I'd seriously consider

having a child

with an old gay friend

you really know

than some guy you don't,

if you meet him

- which isn't sure,

nor that he wants kids -

and who'll most likely

up and leave you.

I sometimes wonder

if your company

doesn't just drag me down.

And as a doctor

you know age can cause

problems of fertility,

Down's syndrome, malformation...

Enough!

Eat your dessert

and see yourself out!

- Promise to think about it?

- I have!

That crche breeds germs!

He's really chesty,

he'll need an x-ray!

Every weekend we set him right

only to get sick again!
