I hear that in my office?

I've known you long enough

and I've heard all your lies.

- I've changed.

- People don't change.

That's your opinion, not mine.

Sandrine said

you were stoned out of your mind.

You can level with me.

I don't care. It's your life.

She's pretty, Sandrine.

- Do you sleep together?

- No.

She dumped me two months ago.

- Do you still love her?

- Two days ago I followed her all night long.

- Did she know?

- Yes. She pretended I didn't exist.

She was with a woman

her new lover.

I've known for a while.

I couldn't care less.

This woman has

a restaurant near Beaubourg.

It's doing okay.

Not too pretty, but very maternal.

Unlike me.

I did something incredibly stupid.

And it's too late to yell at me.

Sandrine stopped by

to have me sign something.

I got her into the bathroom

locked the door and left.

I swear!

It's not funny!

You're not a kid anymore.

You can't do that!

- I know.

- Pathetic.

Is lrene here?

Come here.

Come closer.

Yes, I'd like a taxi.

Thank you.

- What Did You tell her?

- That it's over.

- Are You serious?

- Dead serious.

- You just killed her.

- I doubt it. But I really hope I did.

This way.

Through the courtyard.

It's lrene.

She'll call all night to apologize.

- You want a whiskey? I do.

- Sure.

Then I'll be going.

Is it true you and lrene were lovers?

It's too much. I'll get drunk.

So what?

Before Lee, you were with lrene.

Not with her.

But yes...

We were lovers.

- Did Lee know?

- Sure he did.

Sorry for all the questions.

No need to apologize.

It's no secret.

Emily?

Emily!

Emily!

- I got it.

- It's heavy.

I'll manage.

Yann and Henri are friends of Jeff's.

- Hi.

- Want to see your room?

I thought you'd call last night.

I saw lrene.

- Any luck?

- No, a dead end.

I told you not to count on her.

I crossed that b*tch

off my list ages ago.

You can unpack.

You can stick the crates in the closet.

- Like it?

- It's great.

The bathroom's that way.

If Jeff's dog bothers you

just hit him.

Beat it!

Are you two coming?

- We're finishing something. Later.

- Later.

I told Jeff I'd stop by rehearsals.

Here are the keys.

For the house and for the gate.

You can always reach me on my cell.

Make yourself at home, okay?

See you later.

Emily.

What's wrong?

Want a painkiller?

I took one.

I wish Lee were here.

To take me in his arms.

To tell me it'll be okay.

I'm sick of being alone.

I keep screwing up.

Why did he leave me all alone?

- Ronaldo Demachy.

- Hi.

Sorry about the wait.

I'll be frank. I'm seeing you

because lrene Paolini insisted.

She's someone I respect a lot.

I won't waste your time.

I want things to be perfectly clear.
