The Only One Page #2

used to being alone in the house?

A round for everyone from the

chairman. I'll have a Trappist.

Well look at that. Even my Mathilde

would have made that shot.

Things happen.

Will you find your way home?

- Just you find your way to Mathilde.

You be careful just the same.

Sir?

Would you open the door please?

Careful. Hello sir,

what seems to be the problem?

What is your name?

Your name.

- Knops.

Knops. Why are you parked

in the middle of the intersection?

You don't remember?

Have we been drinking?

Yes, of course we have.

Too much to drink, am I right?

Do you have your key, grandad?

I'll take it.

You took my driving licence.

Count yourself lucky

we didn't lock you up.

When can I have it back?

- That's up to the police judge.

What's his name?

- No idea. You jump right into bed.

The carpet, the drapes, the beds,

it's all incombustible.

And stainproof.

Everything can be mopped up.

Hygiene is an absolute priority.

Morning Ren.

Cameras everywhere so we

can detect everything immediately.

If you want top security,

we even have a special bracelet.

It's very easy to wear too.

You can wear it around the wrist

or on a belt, usually the wrist.

It's something like the bracelets

they have at rock festivals.

I just happen to have one on me.

Here it is.

Perhaps we could test it?

- Thanks but no thanks.

We also attach a great deal

of importance to the food.

Monday is minced meat day.

On Tuesdays it's

vol-au-vent with French fries.

Wednesdays it's a cold dish and

on Thursdays we eat spaghetti.

Fridays we eat fish sticks and

on Saturdays cutlets are on the menu.

On Sundays we've got roast turkey.

This is the dining room.

There's an academy nearby and

the students often come to play here.

There's a ballroom dancing

afternoon and one for bingo.

Miss...

Dad, where are you going?

If I have to leave somewhere

feet first,

it'll be from home and nowhere else.

But dad, how can you

want to be anywhere else?

It's so modern

and that manager was so charming.

A two-faced bastard.

- Now why would you say that?

Because it's true.

- I understand. He's still healthy.

That's the point. This is the perfect

place to help him stay healthy.

This is no prison, is it? No one

to meddle in your affairs, no nagging.

And you're taken care of.

You can come and go as you please.

You can play billiards every day

and there'd be people to talk to.

Why don't you move in then?

You're being childish.

Get in the car.

Get in the car, dad.

And a bit of ground cheese, please.

Hi, Master Lucien. I hope the fire

didn't do too much damage?

They want to put me in a rest home.

Over my dead body.

Hand me a can of tomato soup.
