Cousins
Ridiculous of your mother
to marry on a Friday.
After we eat, I'll go to the office.
-Do what you want, darling.
Am I wearing too much make-up?
-As always.
Behave well, children.
Don't eat too much ice-cream, like
your cousins at aunt Angle's wedding.
And don't interrupt
any adults, Sylvie.
And no elbows on the table, Olivier.
A wedding is a serious matter.
Two flowers that have been reunited.
I'll sing something for you.
-Please don't. You can't sing.
Ok, then I'll show you my butt.
Is your father the cousin of my mother?
Can I tell you everything?
I'm only happy
during sleep therapy.
My first husband was a psychiatrist.
His name was George.
I owe everything to him.
Everything.
Little bastards. Go away.
Why do people who marry
invite their families?
They have no choice.
-Of course they do.
You're not obliged to come.
-But I like to.
I'm the cousin of the groom.
-I know that.
Uncle Gaston, the cycling champion,
lived with two women.
When one died,
the other one committed suicide.
So he had two funerals on one day.
Stphane, do you think uncle Eugne
is the daddy of your 2 year old cousin?
Well, he's not. Ask aunt
Marcelle who is.
And now...
-Enough talk. We're going home.
You can talk more in two months,
at Jocelyne's wedding.
I sprained my foot.
Bye, mum.
-Bye, sweetheart.
Have you seen Pascal?
-No.
Give him our regards. We're going.
I can't find them anywhere.
What a beautiful sunset.
My husband's car is gone already.
Have you been married long?
-Eight years.
Me eleven.
What does your husband do?
-He's a sales representative.
I work at an office as a secretary.
And you?
I'm a dancing teacher.
-Ballet?
No, I teach tango, tap-dancing, charleston...
How does one become a dancing teacher?
-By coincidence.
For fun.
I change jobs every three years.
-The moment you're doing well?
No, I don't go for success.
I have another year to go.
What will you do next?
I have a few ideas.
I'd like to cry,
but I can't.
I've never been able to cry.
I just can't.
Drink.
Come, let's dance.
Music, champagne, what a life.
Are we going, mummy? I've had it.
You're having fun, but it's not funny.
A bit longer, darling.
Do you have any children?
-A daughter, from my first marriage.
She was here, but she already left.
How old is she?
-Sixteen.
You're not bored, are you?
Has everybody left already?
Karine didn't know the local horticultural
school and she's a landscapist.
She works for the Parks Department.
-I know.
We had car trouble along the way
and it took us an hour to get back.
What?
Will you have dinner with us?
-I have to get up early to find trees.
F***ing car.
I came to bring your key.
-Keep it. Then you can always get in.
No, thanks.
It's getting too serious between us.
Do you understand?
You're right.
I'm busy.
Ok, bye then.
What's wrong?
I can't see you this week.
Or next week. Or ever again.
Did your wife find out?
-Yes, she did.
Goodbye, Nicole.
clinic for family planning
Pascal, I'll be right there.
Everything alright at home?
-Yes.
Listen, Olga. The two of us...
Is that why you came?
Don't look like that.
Have you got a new girlfriend?
What's she like? Tell me.
You're so funny. I don't know
anybody as restless as you.
You can't come in.
Did you want to say something?
-No, nothing.
Don't be jealous. I just met him.
-Goodbye.
Gilberte, don't cry.
I'm a bastard.
Don't ask me why.
You won't cry?
I'll do what I want.
Get lost.
Marie-Thrse.
-F*** off.
You can't stand there
while we're moving.
Get out.
Get out.
-Listen to me...
How did you know where I work?
-From my uncle, your father-in-law.
It's a sensitive topic, but...
Don't get angry now.
Your husband.
Have you noticed anything
strange about your husband...
...since he knows my wife, Karine?
You don't know whether
If he is, he doesn't say it.
No, but maybe you had
an idea.
And you?
-Well, you know, my wife...
She's still a child.
She goes from one
depression to the next.
Yesterday, I took her to a clinic
for sleep therapy.
Pascal. That's your
husband's name, right?
I found this on Karine's bedside table.
'To Pascal, in case something
happens to me.'
Maybe it's empty.
Karine likes to play pranks.
Maybe she's telling him off.
Do you have a lighter?
Burn it.
Do you like pastries?
-Very much.
Enough, we don't have that much time.
Have you been working for that office for long?
-Twelve years.
The address of my dancing school.
-Why? I'm not taking dancing lessons.
Tell me...
You change jobs every
three years, right?
What kind of work did you do before this?
-I was a mycologist.
I researched mushrooms
and wrote articles.
I discovered a rare Boletus parasitus.
I gave it to a museum.
-And before that?
Before that...
I played the trumpet
in a jazz band.
I looked for oil in Normandy,
with a friend.
But to no avail.
-It's two o'clock already.
You eat it. I have to go.
Good evening, darling. Everything ok?
You won't believe what I did.
I can't wait to tell you.
Do you want to have pasta or potatoes.
-Marthe?
You turned a blind eye. You were
admirable. You knew it.
I've taken a decision.
From now on you'll be the only one.
-We also need tomato sauce.
You don't seem to realise.
I was having affairs.
I broke them off, all of them.
