-What about you?

-You didn't use to be so distant.

-Did you have children?

-My god, no!

I'd have been incapable of raising them.

That having been said, as you grow older,

it must be practical to have kids.

They're there. They fill a void.

What do you say?

I wouldn't put it that way.

You don't want to eat?

He's dead.

It was in the papers.

It's on Wikipedia in black and white.

He committed suicide.

Shortly after you left.

I don't read the papers. I never have.

And I'm lost with Internet.

How?

You really want to know?

He shot himself in the heart.

I found him at home.

The apartment on Blvd. St. Germain

where we all lived together.

I'm so mad at myself.

You can't imagine, Claire.

I couldn't. I just couldn't.

I thought that after all this time,

we'd meet up,

forget all that nonsense, and make peace.

What a fool I am.

You must hate me.

Where's he buried?

It doesn't matter.

Yes, it does. I want to see him.

He was cremated.

I took care of everything.

My mother and I threw his ashes...

in the Seine.

-I have to go.

-Me too!

Francis, put it on my bill.

Wait. I'll call a taxi.

I'll drop you off wherever you want.

Don't bother. Good-bye.

Claire!

Give me your hand.

Come on. I said give me your hand!

It's my last ring.

The others have all been pawned.

I'll get them back one day.

-I can't take this.

-Please.

It's an emerald.

Your father gave it to me in his heyday.

It has value. I'd rather you had it.

Go on. I have to get a grip on myself.

Sh*t, just my rotten luck.

How'd you like some

Belle de Fontenay potatoes?

You scared me.

I have too many.

Mr. Baron isn't here?

No, he's not.

-Who are you?

-His son.

It's an excellent potato.

Firm, tasty flesh. Sauted, it's the best.

Is he well?

Not really.

I came to give him a hand.

So what about the potatoes?

No, thanks. I already bought mine.

Come on, Mrs. Carrelet.

Be brave.

You're almost there. Don't move.

Take a deep breath.

Hello, doctor.

-How's life, kiddo?

-Good.

Catch your breath, and we'll start again.

Breathe out.

Everything okay? Breathe calmly.

Easy does it. Inhale deeply.

You okay?

Film the baby!

You're doing good!

Super, don't let go.

We're almost there. We can see him.

You're doing great.

Sir, put your phone down and come here.

I'm going to need you.

Put your hands

under her buttocks and lift up.

Breathe out.

Lift her up a bit. That's good.

Very good.

Okay, let's go. That's good. Look at me!

Come on, Mrs. Bernard!

Catch your breath,

and we start over at once.

Push hard. Come on.

Here's the baby.

Look.

Claire, good timing. Can I have a word?

Listen,

the hospital is making a good offer.
