Morning, my love.
Damn that thing!
Already... It's early!
C'mon. Give me 5 minutes.
No!
I have to be on time this morning.
Right, I forgot.
The lady has a job.
Don't make fun. Be nice.
Soon I'll have to make a date
to see you.
So what?.
Dates can be very romantic.
Right. You busy Labor Day?.
You're too much...
I'm starving! Aren't you?.
Hi, Mehmet!
Hi, lovebirds!
How are things?.
Fine.
One mushroom
and two Napolitanas, right?.
Great!
Napolitana, OK?.
Oven hot!
On your tab?.
As usual.
Here.
See ya!
See ya!
You've got to quit working nights.
OK. Where'll we live?.
In a garret?.
I should've died in that car crash.
So you could marry a rich client.
Very funny.
If we get evicted,
you can move in with Hugo.
Bastard!
I'll see we won't get evicted!
Hi, lady.
Mr. Dorset's contract.
Thank you.
Xerox it for his lawyer, OK?. Hurry!
Hello!
It's not an exclusive contract,
it's an advance.
On your next 3 books.
Scared I'll go elsewhere?.
Only I took the gamble of
publishing your first novel!
Sorry you did?.
In a year,
I made you credible and rich.
That was no risk,
I immortalized you!
Read this carefully.
We'll talk later!
Your next book almost done?.
I'll let you stew a while.
So you can learn to read.
Will that be all?.
OK... Bye!
Bye!
Henry... Sometimes I wonder
why you published me.
OK, bye.
I could renegotiate your deal.
No, it's OK.
As you wish.
What's the rent here?.
$7000 a month, plus maintenance.
just to cover your rent?.
Suicide!
But your first book made money.
I spent it all
on 7 years back rent!
Divide my earnings by the time
it took to write:.
I'm a literary bum!
What do you think of it?.
I think...
It's expensive and flashy.
Just what you need.
You're right. It's awful.
You started writing?.
Not a line since "Dark Skies".
It's like something snapped.
Go figure it out.
Maybe you lack sleep.
you take on.
I always have,
and nothing went wrong.
No, I'm blocked.
And till I know why...
How's Michelle?.
Don't know why
she hasn't left me...
Sorry, a van blocked me.
The janitor let you in?.
You like it?.
It has 3 parking spaces!
I'd say it's not bad...
Not bad at all.
I agree.
Should I pitch the view,
the location?. No...
What I'd like you to pitch me on...
is all about yourself...
Had a good day?.
We got a registered letter.
It's none of her damn business!
She'd love us to get evicted!
"To Mr and Mrs Dorset."
From our landlord's lawyer?.
Sure.
If he died, we'll get evicted.
We owe two months back rent!
Five neighbors want us out!
Who wants us as tenants?.
So we'll move, it's tiny, anyway.
Moving takes money.
So I'll quit writing.
You want me to get a normal job.
I want that?.
Yes.
Who got your first novel published?.
Me!
Who hasn't written a line
in 6 months?. You!
You only love me for my dog.
Right.
We'll split him for our vacations.
Sure.
Smile... We're in total agreement!
Mrs Dorset, it's nothing to do
with your neighbors.
The reason I asked you here is
because of an inheritance.
What inheritance?.
The estate Mr Guillemet left you.
Who?.
Jean-Eudes Guillemet.
Wait... Isn't he our landlord?.
Not at all.
Didn't you know him?.
No!
love surprising people!
He left us his stamp collection?.
Among other things.
"l, Jean-Eudes Guillemet,
of 27 rue Gabrielle
in Montmartre, Paris
Ieave my house
and all my possessions
to Jean and Michelle Dorset,
of 26 rue Gabrielle.
I ask them to kindly
