Why am I here?

It must have been some party.

Boy make you drink?

I need a cigarette.

No smoking here, young woman.

Aren't we a bit young?

I've been smoking for so long,

I can't stop.

Overdoing it, aren't we?

It's you.

You're not better?

Is it really you?

Sure it's us.

Mom was worried sick.

Ever think of that?

At her age, we think after.

Spare us your drunken displays,

please.

I'm dead or dreaming.

Imagine being called at 7 a.m.

to hear you're in hospital,

dead drunk.

You're hurting me!

You're so young, Dad.

How nice for me.

This year's starting great.

Go get dressed.

Here, kid.

I feel strange.

1985 has begun...

Close the door.

My cat...

Tell me what I'm doing here.

I'm glad we're all having dinner.

Eat. I have to go.

- Where?

- Where else? I'm on duty.

Can I come with you?

Put her to bed. She's lost it.

Just me and you.

It'll be nice.

Are you crazy?

Yesterday wasn't enough?

You drink now?

Since Mom died.

Think that's funny?

I didn't mean that.

If having a glass

means finishing the bottle,

stop drinking, period.

Promise me.

I promise.

Not eating?

I remember this ratatouille so well.

I can't eat a thing.

Go to bed.

It's time.

Out of bed. You've slept enough.

You have school.

It's starting again.

I'm dreaming about you, Mom.

Never drink like that again, honey.

Get up.

You really think

I'm going to school?

You slept too long, sleepy-head.

I wanted to wake you

but Dad said not to.

I have no intention

of going to school.

It's like that after every break.

I'm not going.

Been there, done that.

Come on, chin up.

15 minutes more!

5 minutes.

You came here to keep warm.

You're too close to the pipe.

You'll dry out.

Come here, little bee.

You're all drowsy.

What are you doing here in January?

If you stay here, you'll die.

So I'll put you outside...

At first you'll be very cold.

But there are places to warm up.

Go find your hive.

Good luck.

Still not dressed?

What are you doing?

I'm taping your voice. Talk again.

It's late. I made you toast.

Eat or it'll get cold.

Enough. Stop acting like a kid.

Remember your report card.

"Should give up scholastic tourism."

Start offwell this semester.

What year am I in?

You have good teachers,

interesting subjects.

You say so yourself.

Too late

to turn my life around.

It's barely begun.

Don't be so sure. It's behind me.

What about me then?

I know it's a tough time for you.

You're growing up, asking questions.

You need to start seeing

a gynecologist.

And a shrink...

You want to see a shrink?

What do I need again?

Your bag... your notebook.

See you tonight.

My big girl...

Your gym clothes!
