The Barbarian Invasions Page #2
But to be sure
l need a PET scan.
See if they can do it.
They can send it by satellite.
The saddest part is...
that l always remained,
how should l put it,
sexually unfulfilled.
l'm not trying
to make you feel guilty.
Positron Emission Tomography.
Sherbrooke has one,
but there's a 6-to-1 2-month waiting list.
Don't even try.
lsn't he going to Burlington today?
- Yes.
They have one, but it's expensive.
$2,000 U.S.
Cash or plastic.
- Money's no problem.
You're lucky.
Yeah.
You never listened to my body.
But l'm not laying a guilt...
Look, l have to get dressed.
Stop running away!
to Burlington in 1 0 minutes.
No more excuses!
- For my radiation therapy.
- No!
The machines here are too old.
Stop avoiding me,
it's too painful.
This is my son, Sbastien,
he's going with me.
She's...
a woman l used to know,
long ago.
l couldn't face coming alone.
You've never been here?
Never.
But you see each other
regularly.
Always on neutral ground.
Usually in restaurants.
Did he come to your place?
Occasionally.
But you never came here.
No. This was where
he brought his mistresses.
With luck,
we'll find some panties.
l'm glad Sbastien's
going with him today.
lt's important they talk.
Rmy left 1 5 years ago.
Back then, l was sure
l'd find someone else soon.
l gave myself a year, two, max.
l was still young, and fairly cute.
l've bedded a few men -
that's not so hard to find -
but they were already married,
or had problems.
Or they were just plain dirty.
A lot of men don't bathe,
you know.
Yes, l know.
You know the proverb,
"Christmas in the scanner,
Easter six feet under."
Hello?
l have the scan.
lt doesn't look good.
Not good at all.
We can't be certain,
but the margin of error...
lt's almost nil.
ls he in a lot of pain?
Why don't you bring him here?
We don't perform miracles,
but he won't suffer. We'll make sure.
l'm sorry, buddy.
Baltimore's not far.
Seven hours by car,
an hour by plane.
l won't go into exile.
No goddamn way.
Wouldn't you like your own room,
chairs for visitors,
a bathroom, CDs?
What CDs?
So you can listen to music.
They have that
in civilized countries.
Know what that costs?
- Nothing. l'll look after it.
- l won't know a soul.
We'll all go tomorrow.
No, we won't.
l'm not going to the States,
to be murdered
by rabid Mohammedans.
He's crazy.
l voted for Medicare,
l'll accept the consequences.
l want to be with my friends.
Your friends? Where are they?
- Dominique's away, but Pierre--
- You've no one.
Aside from that lunatic
this morning.
