Flying Home Page #2

considered the Americans as our saviors.

And that's why I'm so touched by

you trying to find

your ancestor's grave.

Because he died for my freedom.

I apologize for the mess.

I wanted to replace the old

furniture with more modern things,

but I didn't have the time

to assemble everything.

Don't worry,

I'll deduct it from the room rate.

It's IKEA. Do you have IKEA in America?

Yeah.

Yeah, of course. IKEA is everywhere.

It's like

my boss.

The bathroom is across

the hall, over there.

Dinner is at 7:
00. Today is chicken.

I've asked Martha,

my housekeeper, to choose Cecile.

She's a nice, fat chick.

I mean Cecile. Cecile is, not Martha.

Right.

See you tonight.

I was wondering,

I couldn't find your Wi-Fi.

My what?

Your Internet connection.

Oh, no, no. No Internet here. No.

God is my provider.

Right.

I've selected a few books about the

Great War for you from my library.

I know it sounds strange

for a man in my position,

but I'm very interested in war.

I don't know why.

But I'm sure you'll find

them quite interesting

and they could help you to

locate your ancestor's grave.

Yeah. Thank you.

All right.

I wonder, do you know in

which battle he was killed?

No. I only know it was in Flanders.

The American troops have never been here.

They landed in France.

He was English. My great-grandmother

moved to the US with her son

after her husband was killed.

Oh, I see.

I was fearing you would think that

Flanders was just a part of France.

Many people in the US make that mistake.

Yeah. I'm a high school teacher.

So I'm not supposed to make

those kind of mistakes.

Of course. I should have known.

- Enjoy.

- Thank you very much, Martha.

Cecile, as beautiful in

death as she was in life.

Good morning.

The...

He is in church. Morning Mass.

I see.

- Eggs?

- Yes, please.

Is this decaf?

What?

It's like coffee,

but without the caffeine.

We're honest people here, sir.

Oh, one's enough, thank you.

So, Martha, are you from around here?

Yes.

I've lived here all my life.

I know everyone.

So tell me, what do people

do around here all day?

They work.

And when they're not working?

They... They like football.

You know, with the feet.

They like... TV. They like...

I was wondering, is there a local

pub around here somewhere?

Yes. In De Zavelput.

It's three kilometers.

Say if you want more.

Hey, what's up?

Nice day today?

Let me help you.

That's okay.

- Hi.

- Hi.

What would you like to drink?

I'll have a Coke, please.

I'm Isabelle.

I'm Colin. Colin Evans.

Yeah. I know who you are.

Everyone in the village is

already talking about you.

I only just got here.

Well, it's very easy to

become a star in this town.
