Paris Page #2

Synopsis: Pierre, a professional dancer, suffers from a serious heart disease. While he is waiting for a transplant which may (or may not) save his life, he has nothing better to do than look at the people around him, from the balcony of his Paris apartment. When Elise, his sister with three kids and no husband, moves in to his place to care for him, Pierre does not change his new habits. And instead of dancing himself, it is Paris and the Parisians who dance before his eyes.

that stuff, don't feel obligated.

I don't feel obligated

but I feel obligated to clean.

It stinks. Really!

Mam?

Beno?t!

Miss! Miss!

Do you like flowers?

F*** off!

Bernard, she's for you!

She's your "style!"

- No way.

- Leave the girls alone!

Nothing better to do?

You jealous or what?

Of who? Her? Jealous of her?

No! Sometimes I'm jealous of me.

Know what I mean?

I think, "Boy, am I lucky to be me."

I see myself and think,

"What a f***in' babe!"

Then I realize...

"Hey! That babe is me!"

I don't have to be jealous.

If you get my drift.

I get it. What a saleswoman!

You can sell anybody anything!

You want me to sell you something?

Okay, Caroline,

do you mind if we go to work?

See ya.

Caroline,

this is your last week with us.

- Jealous?

- No.

We separated a year ago.

Flirt if you like.

But I don't have to watch that sh*t.

Chill out. I'll be outta here soon.

Hello.

Did you do your hair with dynamite?

- A head of lettuce.

- The lettuce...

Like you,

they're not too pretty today.

Thanks.

Take some avocados.

From Cameroon - beautiful, round.

They'll put color in your cheeks!

- How much?

- 7,000.

- Too much.

- That's the best price.

- I'll give you 5,000.

- 6,000.

- Five.

- Six.

I came to say goodbye.

I'm not working here anymore.

- You lost your job?

- Yes. That happens here.

We'll miss you.

Me, too.

If you still plan to come to France...

- I'll leave my number.

- That's nice. Thanks.

- Call me, if you come!

- I will. If I come, that is.

Bye.

So you're... How many are you?

Two adults and four children.

My brother's coming

from Cameroon soon.

Then there'll be

three adults in the house.

You absolutely must find

those pay slips...

Excuse me, if you want my help...

Without those pay slips,

you can't get any subsidies.

What month was that for?

You're only missing two!

I'm missing two pay slips.

Have you looked everywhere?

All the documents are there.

Yes, but you're missing some.

- What's the problem?

- It's my brother.

He was supposed to arrive a while ago.

She's getting impatient.

Try to be on time

for these meetings!

Sorry.

Before we move on

to general business,

Elise has a personal announcement.

Over the next few months,

I need some time for myself.

So if I could go on half-time

or even 4/5-time,

that would help me out.

Have you spoken to Diedrich?

- Not yet.

- He'll never agree.

- Not now!

- You say time "for you."

What does that mean?

Well, it means...

"for me."

I need to spend time at home.

You okay, there, "Marie-Antoinette"?

Just great!

I'm buying tons of evening gowns

to waltz around the Hall of Mirrors.

Take it easy!

Hearing you say "time for myself..."
