- (faster bleeps)

- Why is he doing this?

I don't know.

(gasps)

Shouldn't someone take him

a blanket or something?

Coffee?

- I know you.

- We just met, a few minutes ago.

- In the lake?

- No... In the hut.

Then it must have been someone

who looked a lot like you.

Thanks.

(engine starts)

(knocking)

It's a present.

Thank you.

You're not gonna open it?

Oh.

Are you here for a long time?

No.

Where do you live?

New York.

It's been nice meeting you.

Nice... meeting you, too.

I'll... I'll only be five minutes.

(dolphin whistles)

(whistling)

(dolphin clicks)

(whistles)

Clown.

- (dolphin whistles)

- It's a Ilama.

(clicking)

(whistling)

- Darjeeling.

- (clicks and whistles)

(excited whistling)

I missed you rascals.

(bleeping)

Jacques, my friend.

How are you?

Enzo?

I leave you swimming

and 20 years later you're still in the water.

What the hell are you doing? Training?

Yeah.

Good.

Check out the suit. Looking good, no?

- You know I'm the world champion?

- Yeah, I know.

The world championship

starts in ten days in Taormina.

Be my guest.

Your ticket.

Why?

Because I'm sure you're dying to beat me.

You're the best, Enzo.

See you there.

(driver) Come on, let's go, let's go!

Go park in Jersey, you a**hole!

Come on, come on, come on!

I gotta get movin'! I gotta make a livin' here!

(sighs)

(woman) I changed the lock,

you son of a b*tch!

Sally! It's me!

Where have you been?

Peru.

We were burgled.

They got the television set,

they got the new stereo,...

..they got the ring my grandma gave me.

I hate New York.

I hate this apartment.

I hate you.

How was your trip?

It was nice. It was...

It was...

It was interesting.

It was cold.

You got a picture of him?

Matter of fact...

What... What the f*** is that?

It's his heartbeat.

I'm gonna make some coffee.

They left the stove!

He has the most beautiful eyes.

It's funny.

It's like a fairy tale.

(coughs)

You know, the French

are very romantic people.

He's not French. He's American.

His mother's American.

Haven't you been listening

to anything I said?

Yeah! I've been listening all night!

Sounds like you're in love.

But there's no such thing

as love at first sight.

You ate all the ice cream.

(sighs)

This is good! This is very good!

Very, very good.

Very good.

Unfortunately it's incomplete.

- Johana...

- What?

- Am I boring you?

- No!

Of course not.

Definitely not.

- What'd you say?

- I said that this file is incomplete. OK?

Go back to Laurence

and get the truck registration.

Don't let him tell you

it's in the glove compartment.

- The guy was really frozen?

- Like a Popsicle.

- They're keeping him on a stick till spring.
