Go on in, please.

Have a seat.

He'll be right down.

Caroline, don't play around.

Daddy's talking.

I'm sorry.

I have the wrong address.

This is number 22.

Yes. I'm very sorry.

Don't mention it.

Have a nice day.

- Good-bye.

- I'll call you later.

You dropped this.

Well?

Did you tell him?

Would you like something to drink?

No, I wouldn't.

I only came back

I came back to ask something of you.

Stop doing this.

I've done it all my life.

What were you?

A cop?

Worse. A judge.

A judge?

Never seen a judge in person?

Would you like to try?

It makes a very nice sound.

I don't know if I was

on the side of right or wrong.

Here at least...

I know more or less

where the truth lies.

You have a much better

vantage point than in a courtroom.

People have a right

to their secrets.

Of course.

You didn't tell him.

What stopped you?

The fact that he has a nice wife

who's devoted to him,

and a sweet little daughter

who loves him?

Is that why you couldn't do it?

Were you seized by remorse

or just afraid to cause harm?

Maybe both.

Let me tell you.

I can eavesdrop on them or not.

You can tell him or not.

But sooner or later,

he'll jump out the window,

or she'll find out everything.

Someone will tell their daughter,

and their lives will be a living hell.

And what can we do about it?

You have nothing to say?

Does this remind you of something?

- Yes.

- What?

Say it.

A boy I know.

A boy you know who...

what?

Found out his mother was a whore?

Who found out...

he wasn't his father's son.

He was 15.

That man's daughter...

she knows too.

Stay a minute.

Why?

The light is beautiful.

Personalized weather reports.

I'm the one driving

to Turin tomorrow.

Ah, yes. The weather

will be fine to Chamonix.

From Chamonix to the tunnel,

it may snow.

And after the tunnel

just a minute

This way I know

the weather all over Europe.

Up to Turin, the weather will be fine.

Leave early to avoid snow.

Thanks.

This is a wonderful service.

Thank you. Good-bye.

Personalized weather reports.

It's me.

Did you get any sleep?

- A little.

I didn't tell you this

it may be easier on the phone

but it was really wonderful.

We've never made love

so intensely, for so long.

We each learned something.

Me from you, you from me.

When I woke up, you were

still sleeping. Like a child.

- I'm older than you!

- By a year.

- Two.

- Okay, two.

But as I watched you, I got scared.

Where is this leading?

You're not in great spirits.

Nervous about your exams?

No, about what I'm going to do.

Will it be enough for you?

How about going bowling?

I just got all my books out.

But maybe you're right.
