Death in Love Page #3

for a while.

You don't know how weak he is.

He's better now,

but you don't see him.

He's been so weak.

I see him.

I'm here, aren't I?

You don't see him

the way I see him.

You don't see how weak he is.

He's weak because you let him

get away with being weak.

You don't ask him

to do anything.

How long are you gonna let him

emotionally blackmail you?

Can't you just stop it?

How about you?

You still

seeing that beautiful girl?

No.

Well, but she wasn't for you.

I didn't say anything,

but she wasn't for you.

If she was,

I guess she'd be here, huh?

You need someone

who's more your equal.

Equal in what?

It's not a competition, is it?

You need to find someone

who can...

Someone who can help you.

Help me?

She left me.

Maybe I didn't have anything

to give to her, mom.

You ever thought about that?

Hmmph.

Maybe I have nothing

to give to anyone.

That ever crossed your mind?

You just

need to find the right girl.

So how's work?

I'm not working.

It's important

to keep working.

Why? What's so great

about work?

You work all the time.

What's so great about your life

I'm alive.

After the war,

when I came back to Paris

living with my mother,

men chased me

all around the city.

I didn't care.

I wanted my freedom.

Mom!

I'm gonna start

the carrots now, mom.

The more I ignored them,

the more they chased me.

The more they chased me,

the less I wanted them.

There was a boy,

a handsome boy from Sweden,

whose family

had a lot of money...

Millionaires.

I didn't care.

He wanted me to marry him.

He asked me to marry him

every day.

That's how she tells it.

But I finally told him

I don't want to see him anymore

but then his mother called

one night, crying,

saying he was with a gun

in his room,

and he was

going to kill himself

unless I went to see him.

I told her, he can kill himself

if he wants to.

I am not going to see him.

And I hung up the phone.

No one was going to pin me down,

not me.

Your yams are on the stove,

two of them.

You can finish it yourself.

Oh, you'll find the right girl.

Yeah, you know what?

I...

I know you cooked

and everything,

but I'm gonna go.

Are you gonna leave this house

without giving your mother

a kiss?

I'm gonna be late for school.

First go give your mother

a good morning kiss.

Maybe you can

give her a kiss today.

I kiss her,

but to start her day,

she needs a good morning kiss

from you.

I can give her a kiss.

You can kiss her after school.

In the morning, she needs a kiss

from your big brother.

Now, come on.

Let's get your things.

Slap!

Oh!

No.

Slap!

Oh, God, so good.

Slap!

No.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm, no.

What are you doing?

What do you mean,
