My Afternoons with Margueritte Page #2

---

- Don't talk about

your father like that.

- Whadda you expect...

For every 15 words I say about him

Bad words that

make things dirty.

I know that. I can't talk

about him any other way.

He doesn't exist for me

any more.

I didn't have

a role-model.

I had to work out

everything for myself.

- I'm happy you exist.

I tell myself I'm lucky.

- Why?

- Because I like you...

Sweetie-pie!

- I love it so much

when I'm inside you.

It's so the best for me.

So soft, so hot...

Like being wrapped in silk...

...or feathers.

D'you know

the Guide Maupassant ?

- Germain ?

- What?

- Who is it?

- It's Julien.

- You gotta come and help me!

It's Landremont!...

...he's crying, he's screaming,

he wants to do himself in.

- Sh*t!

I'm coming!

Ah, f*** it!

This happens

now and again.

He's been hopeless...

ever since his wife died.

- When?

- 3 years ago.

From cancer.

What a pain!

- He called me for help

but he won't open the door.

- Sh*t.

- You weren't alone?

- Annette.

- Sorry 'bout that.

- I've had a gut-full!

I'm sick of everything!

- He's full...

and not of water.

- Come on!

- Open up!

Landremont !

- Sh*t on you all...

got it!?

- Open up you silly bugger!

Drinking won't bring her back!

- She's dead!

- Don't say that.

- What?

- I can't go on...

- Just open the door

and things'll be OK.

- Open the door!

You don't want us...

...to have to smash the window...

- Landremont!

- Give us that.

Don't be silly.

- Landremont...

Yeah?

- I'm gonna piss.

- OK then.

Off you go.

He's pissing.

- He's doing it again!

Germain !

I don't believe it!

[War memorial]

You just can't do that!

I've had enough of you!

- I have to.

You keep on cleaning it off.

- It's a public monument.

- So why can't I

put my name on it?

- It's only for the dead!

Can't you understand?

- You have to be dead?

- Yes.

Dead from fighting in war.

- Oh dear...

- Why do you do it?

Tell me!

- To be an arsehole.

- Hullo Monsieur Chazes.

All accounted for?

- They're all there.

- Do you like to read?

- I had the opportunity to learn

but didn't work out.

Cootie... take it easy.

- What was that?

- Cootie.

- That doesn't...

...help me.

- Louse

if you prefer.

- You mean like 'lice'...

as in pubic lice?

- Yes.

It's also what they call

street urchins.

They grab onto you

and don't let go.

It can be very irritating.

- Ah... yes.

Just like lice.

- That's right.

You've got it!

- Yes, I've understood you...

- just like that,

I've got a pal,..

..'Jojo-the-cook', who called

his parrot 'De Gaulle'.

Because he'd say

''I understood you''.

- Ah...

Is your friend a chef?

- You know him?

- I haven't had that pleasure.

- So how did you know?
