Would you give a damn what I left you?

When your gun disappeared,

I knew she would do something crazy.

- How do you know she stole it?

- Who else?

Go check on the tea.

Feeling better, Lily?

Excuse me,

but I don't understand...

Now, you just shut up, honey,

save your strenght.

You just have to rest.

You have suffered

a terrible tragedy...

...and you need time to get better,

you know.

And if you get the urge to do anything

silly, I want you to call me.

Before we leave...

I want you to answer

just one question.

Did you borrow Louis's gun?

Are you sure?

Okay, but if you come across it,

you'll tell me, won't you?

Good.

I'll turn the TV on

so you'll have company.

We'll be back tonight

with some dinner.

Drink your tea while it's hot.

Holly sh*t!

Ah, my god!

And if you could see the future

in a crystal ball...

...or in the palm of your hand,

or in a dream...

...would you change it?

So what should one think

of these phenomenon?

How can they be explained?

Is it really possible

to receive messages...

...from what one might call

the "hereafter"...

Could one be unconsciously gifted

with a perception power...

...which would allow us...

"I thought I could start over

in America.

My English is not so good,

but I'm a fast learner.

I even bought myself a ticket

but I lost it.

I can't live without

Thierry and Brigitte.

Forgive me, my God.

Allow us to be together again."

There's been a mistake. The computer

has sold the same seat twice.

I'm terribly sorry.

Could we accommodate you

in our first class cabin?

This way please.

It's right here.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I woke you up.

You fell asleep here.

Are you OK?

I didn't mean to frighten you.

I'm sorry. Are you OK?

I'm sorry.

Do you speak French?

- I'm sorry.

- Are you American?

California.

I mean I grew up

in California...

...but I live in Washington now.

- What do you do in life?

- In life?

Well, I started in software.

And made some money...

...and found out that

I was interested in other things.

Like what things?

Well, like the whole world...

I went back to school

in Washington,

I got a degree in Foreign Relations.

I taught for a little while...

...and then I got a posting

at the State Department.

America is a country

very big, no?

Very big.

Is this your first trip?

I begin my new life there.

France is no good for me.

How can you say that?

France is a fabulous country.

Really. That's the...

Queen of Europe to me.

The art, the history...

...the sense of language,

Stendhal, Racine, Balzac...

I lost my baby there...

I'm sorry.

I don't know what to say.

That's terrible.
