Dad, please...
Forgive me.
I just don't like it at all.
We all have our weaknesses.
I'm sorry.
A bit more lamprey?
No thanks, Aunt Line.
Sit down. Call Marthe.
She's watching the tart. Help me.
What's in the tart?
- Pear and almond. You remember?
- You bet.
Matthieu's coming
to show me something.
I don't know what.
You look worried.
No, not at all.
Coffee in the conservatory?
What do you think?
Excellent idea.
I hope you don't prefer
American coffee now.
No, don't worry.
You get good coffee in Chicago.
- Here's Sir Lancelot.
- Grard, please!
In here, Matthieu!
Come on.
Sit down. I'll pour your coffee.
Thank you very much.
You look upset!
I imagine I do.
Something awkward has cropped up.
We should talk in private.
Maybe you think so
but certainly not.
We're a family, you see.
Well, your family's under attack.
- All the more reason.
- Under attack?
This kind of thing
happens during campaigns.
They smile
and then strike low blows.
Who is "they"?
I don't know. Shall I read it?
- Give it to me.
- Please, Anne.
Read the rag, Matthieu.
You're interested now?
It is a rag. I'm sorry.
It's not your fault.
"Madame Charpin-Vasseur
is at it again!
"Now they intermarry,
there's no stopping them!
"The degenerate savages!"
I'm sorry,
I can't go on.
"The degenerate savages!
"In 1981, Charpin-Vasseur
and his brother's wife
"died in a mysterious car accident.
"So the widow married the widower,
"to try them both out..."
That's insane!
"An honourable family,
honourable but jinxed!
"In 1958,
it celebrated the Fifth Republic
"with a plane crash that killed
our candidate's father and mother.
"They were just Vasseur back then.
"The name Charpin was in the sewer
where it belonged."
Don't get up, I'll go.
No, she's not in.
Of course. I'm her aunt.
What?
Oh, my God!
Both of them But how
They were together?
Aunt Line!
Are you all right?
I'm fine, dear. I was thinking.
I'm just fine.
Is that all?
No, but...
Carry on. It's most instructive.
I feel very awkward. I should leave.
No, you have to stay.
It's all linked to the elections.
Here's the rest.
I'm sorry, Aunt Line.
I think I know
what it's about, dear.
Don't worry for my sake.
"Pierre Charpin, the grandfather,
"held an important administrative
post from 1940 to 1944.
"So his son
cut off all ties with him
"then got shot in the Resistance
shortly after D-Day.
"One bad egg in the wrong basket.
"A fine omelette!
"Pierre Charpin was then murdered
in strange circumstances.
"One of his daughters, Micheline,
was suspected."
That's so unfair!
The case was dismissed, Aunt Line!
