That's a miracle.

That smells really good.

Yes, it does. What did you make for us?

Chicken again?

We had that at lunchtime.

Bloody hell, Mum!

What's got into you Suzanne?

What's up? It doesn't matter.

It's only a dish.

Don't worry about it.

It's only a dish.

I was looking everywhere for you.

Are you ok?

Samuel...

...I'm in love.

What are you talking about?

I'm in love with Ivan.

Who?

The Spanish guy who was working here.

The one who got hurt.

Have you slept with him?

Have you slept with him?

Yes.

Why did Daddy leave?

What's up, Mum?

Come and lay the table.

Do you want some pasta?

No, don't bother.

Where did you go?

What's that got to do with you.

Stay where you are.

You're moody tonight.

Yeah, Dad, you are?

So what?

That's enough. They've done nothing.

OK, kids, could you please just leave us?

Forgive me, Samuel.

How many times?

How many times what?

How many times did you sleep with him?

Hold on.

Tell me how often.

That's not the point.

Where did you sleep with him?

At his place.

I'll never see him again.

It's over.

I promise.

It's over.

Don't cry.

Why did you tell him? / i...

...I can't lie. I had to.

-What about us? / I...

...I do not know.

-Well? / I...

...I don't know.

-Well, neither do I Suzanne! / I

It's beautiful.

Thank you, darling.

Shall I order some drinks?

-Yes.

Waiter?

They want me to stand as a

candidate for the City Council.

But I thought you didn't want to be involved in politics

any more?

He's a good mayor. I'm tempted.

I like new challenges.

Good afternoon, ma'am, sir.

Can I see the wine list please?

You're my wife.

Don't move.

Marion. David.

This is Ivan. Leave a message. / I...

...Hello.

Remi, it's Suzanne Vidal. / I

Have you heard from Ivan?

Yes, he is back at work. / i...

...Where?

-In a restaurant in Uzs. / I

What are you doing here?

You don't answer when I call.

It's better if we don't see each other, so you said.

I have to see you.

Listen, I have to work.

When is your break?

Three o'clock.

Wait for me outside.

I'm ashamed to bring you here.

Stop it.

I enjoy everything when I'm with you.

I have to go. Really.

I have to go, Suzanne.

Don't you care about anyone?

My parents have been waiting since 7 o'clock.

Sorry, I had to go to the delicatessen.

The delicatessen?

Delicious. As always.

-You have surpassed yourself, honey.

Do you really want to work again?

It'd never cross my mind to do that.

Especially at her age.

I think she's brave.

I'd like to help. I'd like to offer

you my office furniture, from the waiting room.

I hope you didn't do that for me,

I didn't ask you to.

Yes, but I did it for Suzanne.

You didn't even ask her if she likes it.
