I couldn't find cardamom

at the discount store.

- I've been wanting to talk to you.

- Have some more.

You're not listening.

Yes, I am.

You've been wanting to talk to me.

Justin and I

have decided to get married.

please, don't start.

I didn't say anything.

Exactly.

I can see that look on your face.

You're not happy. Is that it?

Mum, we've thought it over.

I know you think

it's bourgeois and superficial.

But it's important to us.

We want to do it and...

we've made our decision.

Don't you think you're a bit young

to get married?

If you'd been around

and needed stability,

I could understand.

I've been around plenty with you!

After all you put me through,

can't I settle down?

All I put you through!

You'd think I had you robbing banks.

Let's not rehash old times.

All your schlepping around

got me a sh*t education.

Now I want to change all that.

I want a normal life,

I want to have a family.

Can't you understand?

I understand

but I think it's a shame.

I tried to open you up to the world

and now

you shut yourself in, as if...

We're getting married near Amiens.

Justin's parents found a nice place

to have a party after church.

It's a church wedding, too!

Justin and his parents are into that.

I don't mind.

Have you picked a date?

When I visited his parents.

You could have consulted me.

Justin's parents wanted to call you

but I told them you were in Brazil.

Pardon?

They wanted you to chip in,

so I said you'd gone to Rio.

Now you won't have to pay anything.

I'm a big girl. I can say

I'm broke and irresponsible.

How long

do we have to keep up this farce?

They'll talk to me about expenses

at the wedding.

Don't worry,

they'll slip me the bill.

I said you wouldn't be back in time.

Are you crazy?

Why create such a situation?

I'd rather you didn't come.

Why?

I don't want

to create any expenses for you and...

And what?

I don't want you to embarrass me.

I embarrass you because I'm broke?

No. I don't know. Sometimes...

you seem crazy.

I can control myself, too.

Am I jumping on the table

with straws up my nose?

No, you're just in a sari.

And Justin saw you

come out of the candy store.

You busted up the place.

So that's it.

A few bonbons on the floor

and I'm persona non grata.

It's not just that.

At times, you're out of control.

Yeah, I have a strong personality.

Listen, Mum...

As far as Justin's family goes,

I swear,

it's better if you don't come.

Well...

Okay.

In that case,

I'm not your mother anymore.

- What are you doing?

- Clearing the table!

Go see Justin.

Maybe he'll take you for a burger.

It didn't use to be a problem.

When I took her and her friends

to a club for her 15th birthday,
