Open this door!

Open this door!

I've got water everywhere, I tell you!

The door's locked. Open this door!

The police! Call the police!

Eggs or potatoes?

Or omelette, runny omelette...

Not bad, the slightly dried omelette

a little austere

crispy, challenging

I like that.

It's not easy to do well.

Are you listening?

So, eggs or potatoes?

Potatoes can be pureed,

in their jackets... - I don't care.

I'm going to bed.

What about my surprise?

It's in the living room.

It's here.

I hope you'll like it.

Shall we?

One...

Two...

Three...

It's for you. It's your room.

I fitted it out.

It was the guest room.

Now it's your room. Do you like it?

You can't do that!

You can't lock me in there.

I'll replace the neons.

I put in the pretty fairy lights

for a bit of colour.

Don't you like them?

You're sick.

I've put in a chain

so you can walk around.

You'll be more comfortable.

I won't be chained up like an animal!

I'm not your toy. You can't do this!

She wouldn't listen.

She was afraid you'd leave.

Look, I have to speak to her.

She has to understand me.

Maybe I offended her

but you said she liked me.

Please, let me talk to her

just for a minute.

Bad luck, she's not here.

No, please, let me talk to her

just for a minute. Just a minute.

I have to explain to her.

I'll try to change her mind.

I swear I'll do all I can.

But I can't promise anything.

I'll get out of here.

I swear I'll get out of here.

Don't cry, my boy.

Don't cry.

Tonight I'll make you a potato omelette.

Would you like that?

I don't want you to be sad.

The gentleman is sad.

He is not happy.

We must make him laugh.

Do you agree, children?

Who's going to make him laugh?

Where is he?

Where is he? I can't see him.

What do we have here?

The gentleman is sad.

We must make him laugh.

Would he laugh if we shot him?

Shall we shoot him?

Here we go...

Three...

Two...

One...

There!

F*** you!

Good, wasn't it, darling?

Yes, all is well.

What is regrettable, though...

The chain. It definitely annoys him.

Why do you say that?

Do you think...

Maybe you're right.

You're always right.

Am I disturbing you?

I've something to tell you.

It's not easy.

I spoke to Violette but it's no use.

I don't understand her.

She's afraid you'll leave

but she refuses to see you.

I like seeing you,

but she's afraid you'll leave...

That's enough.

She won't see you.

- It doesn't matter.

But it does! You're so understanding.

If only she could be as understanding.

You know...

I think that Violette loves you.

That's kind of you.

The way she looks at you.

I don't know her

but she's obviously mad about you.

She'll listen to you.
