Lucky Jo Page #2

I couldn't come...

- Too much work, you understand...

- Of course.

It's where I live.

It's cosy.

- You had diner?

- Not yet.

- But you were sleeping?

- Not at all, there's a good show on TV.

A football game?

This is your good show?

You're in front of the screen.

Heavens!

A woman...

I had completely forgotten

about your existence, Madame.

My name is Adeline, Monsieur.

- And you're Jo?

- Yes, Madame.

- You left jail this morning?

- No, Madame.

This afternoon.

You always keep your hat on?

- You always sleep completely naked?

- In jail too?

In winter too?

Anyway it's not very

appropriate in a house.

- Some say it brings bad luck.

- You're superstitious?

- It would be the least.

- OK, I see, I'm damned then.

That's it.

Poor Simon.

I don't even understand how

you could cross his path.

Well...

Now you're going to close your

eyes because I want to get up.

OK, I'm gone, darling.

You can stay tucked in.

I couldn't find much.

I opened a can.

You know, I've had my

share of canned goods in jail...

- I'm sorry...

- Tell me, Simon.

You still like me?

What's wrong Jo?

It'd give me a great pleasure

to munch into a big green apple

which tastes like a real apple.

You got that in your fridge?

I have better than apples in a fridge.

Follow me.

Cherries from a cherry tree.

It's alright with you?

- It's OK.

- Wait, there's a ladder over there.

Careful. Don't walk

onto the little lettuces.

What else are you growing?

A bit of everything.

Herb, herbs...

Laurel... and the rest.

So that's the smell

we smell that smells so strong.

Now...

pick up your cherries.

- Simon.

- Yes?

- What're you doing?

- Getting cherries.

- You have a basket?

- No.

My favorites are the English variety,

very acidic.

I like these ones.

Ah, Adeline...

I introduce you to Jo.

Pleased to meet you.

"Quomodo Vales", Adeline?

What does it mean?

- "How are you?"

- Why in Latin?

When Napo and Jo were

bored between two cases...

they learned Latin quotes in the

pink pages of the dictionary.

When we spoke Latin nobody

understood and it made us laugh.

But Napo has forgotten everything.

Now I'm all alone with my Latin...

that nobody can get. What a bloody fool!

Sorry, Madame.

It's good bye to adventure,

isn't it, Simon?

Well, I just have to call me a cab

and me, they call me Jo.

- Good bye, Madame.

- Good bye, Monsieur.

You won't find a cab at this hour.

I'll give you a ride. Come on.

You have wrinkles, my dear old Simon.

Milk don't make wrinkles disappear.

34-35.

My cell was number 35-36.

It's funny the way numbers are.

- You're going to see Mimi?

- Or another girl.

Anyway leave the car on Rue Pigalle.

I'll get it tomorrow morning.
