- Thanks.

Dad, play with us.

Later. I have work to do.

Same old story.

You must!

Just this much, then.

Okay, I promise.

Ludo, have I ever broken a promise?

All right, now sit still.

Don't you want to be

like your brothers and father?

I like long hair...

and people who know

what they want.

What was it Granny told me?

You want to marry Jerome?

Like Pam and Ben.

You know, Ludo...

boys don't marry other boys.

I know that!

That's okay, then.

Poor Granny. It's sad to get old.

Having a dressmaker

as a neighbour is great!

It's great for me to have my hair done.

Shorter, please.

Go ahead. It's not for you.

Your hair's too flat.

Next time, I'll blow-dry it.

Albert hates it,

and I love my husband.

So do I, but even so.

They like a bit of lace,

even it they don't dare ask.

Pierre is Pierre,

and Albert is Albert.

Of course. No comparison.

That's the length, see?

My parents' room...

the toilet...

the bathroom.

Ours is across the hall.

This is my room.

What's in there?

It's out of bounds.

What is it?

My sister's room.

Where is she?

Gone away. Come on.

Come on, let's go.

Come on!

We walk down the aisle.

I look gorgeous.

Pick up the vicar.

Pick up the vicar!

Mrs. Pam, will you marry

Mr. Ben here present?

Yes.

Mr. Ben, will you marry

Mrs. Pam here present?

Now, kiss.

Mommy!

God! What happened? Lisette?

Look at the bike!

And the houses!

Don't you realize?

Jerome's sister is dead!

I didn't know.

He told me she went away.

That's no excuse!

You're seven years old.

What is it, Ludo?

One day, I'll marry Jerome!

What?

Mom was right! You lied.

I told you boys never marry boys...

or very rarely.

But I'll be a girl.

Cut it out! You're a boy,

and you'll be a boy all your life!

You're so stubborn!

Just like your mother.

Pass the ketchup.

I didn't know she was dead!

That's not the point.

Can't we cut his hair?

Yes, darling.

We could also crucify him.

I love your humour,

but not right now.

He didn't kill the Pope!

Stay out of this!

What he did was wrong.

Jerome is Albert's son.

Albert is Daddy's boss.

So, don't wear girls' clothes

with Jerome...

or anybody else!

He understands.

Let's turn the page.

Turn the page?

What's on the next one?

What you did was very bad!

- Like putting a cat in the dishwasher?

- Worse, you moron!

Tom!

We're not deaf!

You want the neighbours to hear?

Okay, Hanna.

You're so smart, you deal with it.

We've been married for 12 years,

and he still astounds me.

Let's go back inside.

Hi, Ludo.

Well, if it's not my lucky day.

Oh, nothing.

Remember what you said last night?

I agree.

About...

- Can I ask what changed...

- No.

Okay. I'll see to it.
