Perhaps.

With women, you never know

what they want

or what they really think.

You think they want one thing

and in fact, it's the opposite.

She never lies to me.

In short, you never know what goes on

inside someone like her.

I do. Violette never lies.

I never lie either.

I'm sure neither of us is a liar.

Nor is Violette.

I'm going to ask you

a very important question.

Do you love me?

- Yes, I do.

You want me to be happy?

- Very happy.

If you want me to be happy,

you have to unchain me

because I'm not happy here.

I have a wife too

and we can't live without each other.

We're going to have a baby.

Violette didn't want children.

I don't know why.

But you can still love each other.

If you couldn't see her,

you'd be unhappy like me now

because you need Violette

as I need Margot.

I must see her.

So I'll ask you one last time...

Please unchain me.

Of course, my boy. You should've said.

Cover up or you'll catch cold.

If you unchain me

I can put on a clean shirt.

No, wait.

Please, stay here. Unchain me.

Listen, unchain me, please.

I've brought your things.

You can dress up for tomorrow.

What's on tomorrow?

Well, tomorrow...

It's... It's Saint Luc's day.

Your saint's day, my boy.

We must celebrate. That's why

you need to look your best.

Yes, of course.

I need to look my best

for my saint's day.

Who shall we invite?

- Why not just us three?

Sure, if you prefer that.

As you wish but I really think

the more, the merrier.

It'd be nicer.

More fun.

Friends aren't for sharing.

I've brought you some toiletries.

This way, you can have a shave.

If something happens to us

no one will ever find us.

That's friendship.

Ah, champagne!

I only drink it on big occasions.

Violette doesn't like it.

Really? Women usually do.

She does too, actually.

But she hates the bubbles.

Here, Luc.

This is for you. A gift.

Solitaire.

My favourite game.

I play all the time.

And I win.

Do you know how to play?

No, I don't.

You play alone.

I play when Violette is away.

You have these marbles.

With one marble you have to

knock out the others

by jumping over them.

I didn't want to be alone.

It was my way of life.

I accepted that

and so I was alone.

Why didn't you invite me to your party?

I invited you to dinner.

I don't know.

I felt reluctant.

Friends aren't for sharing.

Why did you leave

in the middle of dinner?

I didn't leave. I'm here with you.

After all you've done for me...

You asked me to dinner.

You looked after me.

You cooked for me.

You gave me this room.

You played the clown for me.

I need you, you see.

You understand?

I'd better go.

The boy's feeling much better, dear.

Why do you say that?
