but I never stopped listening to them.

And I would've never thought...

Do you have any plans just now?

- Right now?

- Yes

No plans at all.

I never pictured you

with a bearded guy.

When I let my stubble grow,

you complained.

I was much younger.

My tastes have changed.

Or maybe I just had bad taste.

You loved going to motels,

having breakfast

in rooms without windows,

drinking lattes and eating croissants

that tasted like cardboard.

You loved keeping the shampoo

samples and the tissues.

I liked that and I kept them.

Some were funny, remember the one

with painted ducks on the walls?

We'd go there quite often.

Like you were taking me to...

Whatever.

The truth is I never paid much attention

to the decorations.

I only had eyes for you.

Some place outdoors.

A park. Some place with windows.

- I never went back to a motel.

- Me neither.

- Really?

- Never ever?

You should've told me

motels were the issue!

No, it didn't matter at the time.

- So?

- It began to matter afterwards.

- Why didn't you tell me then?

- Because it was too late.

- I have kids.

- What?

Yeah, but I'm legally divorced now.

I pay their allowance.

Everything's in order.

Do they take after you?

Yes, Sara takes after me

and sometimes after her mom.

I don't recognize her

when she resembles her mother.

But Otto takes after me.

How do you get along with them?

How do I get along with them?

They're my kids.

I adore them.

We have fun together. I need them.

It must get messy at times.

Lots of things to agree on.

Things you must let go of, right?

Let go of what?

I don't get it.

Time for yourself. Projects.

I never thought of it like that.

Is that why you don't have kids?

It's quite the opposite to me.

Not having kids is giving up everything,

'cause they're the only thing

that matters,

the only unchangeable thing.

Hey, I have to go buy

some gifts for the kids.

Do you want me to come with you?

- Would you like to?

- Yes.

- But should we mix things up?

- What?

I'm done. They like these.

- I'll take them as is.

- Look at these.

Yes, but they're for adults.

Kids like swords, balls,

fluorescent stuff, dinosaurs.

I don't have kids.

No, that's not why I said it.

- It's okay.

- I know, I know.

- Games that...

- I wanted to tell you...

but you're not listening.

I don't have kids

because I don't want any.

- You don't?

- No.

But I used to design toys like these

when I lived abroad.

Green toys. They don't pollute.

That's cool...

It wasn't just about the motels.

Why did you leave without a word?

Don't you remember how you were?

You were so inconsistent.

- I couldn't anything you said.

- Like what?

Nothing, or everything.
