No.

No, it's too much.

Wait.

Just a bit over twice the price,

a great deal.

I'm not bullshitting you.

- Well, it is...

- Wait, wait.

If you really want to go

far away for a long time,

that's what you need.

Not bad, eh?

It'll be too expensive.

Taking a look is free.

Check it out yourselves.

Get in. Try it out.

Did you see the size of the fridge?

I won't have much left afterwards.

But, we'll save a lot with this.

There's a bathroom,

so we won't sleep in hotels.

There's a kitchen, so we can cook.

We'll be self-sufficient.

It's awesome.

We'll need a job quickly.

Yes, I know. Won't be a problem.

There's even that TV.

Did you see the size of the bed?

You know what I'm imagining?

You're driving. I'm here.

I'm watching the landscape,

relaxing, and then...

We were thinking that we'd

travel from town to town.

And then...

we'll stop when we need money.

We'll help farmers with their harvests.

We'll pick potatoes, beets...

So, yeah. However...

To start off, we'll need some funding.

No, wait...

Since you gave Sophie and me...

some money, I could use it for this...

The money we gave Sophie and him

was to help them settle down, wasn't it?

Not for a vacation.

Dad,

I'm not going on vacation,

I'm going to work.

But, do you know

what seasonal work is like?

- Yes, I do.

- You must know...

So, you want to go pick

plums and potatoes,

but never even do it here.

It's not the same, Dad. This is a trip.

I'll be travelling. It's different.

Think it over, anyway.

He'll use that money

when he settles seriously.

Dad, I don't want to settle.

- Do you realize what you're saying?

- I do.

I was with someone for a long time.

I've worked. I know what

it's all like, and it's not for me.

That's all.

- Did you give me that money or not?

- We did...

So you could find your own place.

I'm giving it back, then.

- No!

- Yes, I am.

What's the point if

I can't use it the way I like?

- There's no point.

- I know people...

who could make better use of that money.

I could set up a veranda.

- Shut up.

- I'll return the money.

You can set up your

veranda and even spruce up...

that thing back there,

your little castle.

- Stop that.

- No, it'll be great.

Really great.

You're packing a ball

and tennis rackets?

Yeah, maybe. Maybe.

We can bring you

things when you find a flat.

- I'm doing it now.

- How can you transport it all?

Don't worry, Mom. I'll be fine.

Why can't we come to the station?

So, I can say goodbye to Julien.

Okay?

Are you running away from Dad?

He's not running away.

- He's going to find a job.

- Right.

We're not kicking you out.

I know, Mom. You're not kicking me out.

- How are you?

- Fine.
