The new baby factory?

Not really my thing.

-Someone dropped this off for you.

-For me?

Must be true love!

Elodie and Sophie agreed. Others will too.

Forgive me, Beatrice

The working conditions will be great.

It's very sweet of you, Thomas,

but I've always made my own decisions.

I don't see why I'd change now.

No hard feelings. See you tomorrow.

My lettuce came out with the rain.

What about you?

Yes, mine did too.

-Do you use slug pellets?

-No way. No chemicals for me.

I have a great tip: cat litter!

You sprinkle a circle around each plant

and good-bye snails!

It's today?

-Didn't we say next week?

-No.

-I'm Lucie.

-Hello.

I'm happy to meet you.

Simon's told me so much about you.

At least we have dessert.

Maybe I can help you out.

I've got everything you need in my shed.

Who's that?

The neighbor's son. Mr. Baron.

Mr. Baron has a son?

Looks that way.

I didn't tell you. I found a summer job.

At a friend's father's practice.

-A doctor?

-Plastic surgeon.

He'll teach me how to use

Botox and collagen.

A few tricks that make money.

Can't you find anything better?

That's not medicine.

I need money, so I'll do what it takes.

Go pick grapes!

At least it's physical,

and you meet interesting people.

Simon!

French, Italian or Spanish wine?

Ask the kids. I don't drink.

Always being on the road isn't hard?

I love it, always have.

My dad was a truck driver before me.

-You're a truck driver?

-An international truck driver.

Lambrusco...

and a Georgian Saperavi.

Excellent wine. Should I open it?

I don't have a corkscrew.

I forgot. You don't drink.

It goes well with that.

Is being a midwife a calling?

You're a midwife?

It must be fabulous

bringing babies into the world.

Yes. They spring out of nowhere.

From nothing in a sense.

-Who wants sugar?

-I do.

-You're never afraid?

-I don't have the luxury.

You'll see when you're a doctor.

It's a question you'll never ask again.

I hope I'm not too blunt.

We dissected our first body last week.

It was hard.

The guy was barely 50.

When we cut open the thorax...

and got to the heart...

Admit it. You almost fainted.

You moron!

It could've been anyone we know.

My dad or my mom. Or even you.

I understand.

A dead body is just a...

an object.

Whereas alive,

if you know how to use it properly...

I'm perfectly serious.

Bodies know exactly what they need.

The problem is the mind.

You have to let go of the mind.

That's the big problem.

I'm pregnant.

You heard.

We're going to have a baby.

What about college?

It's not the end of the world.

We'll make it.

-How far along are you?

-Three months.

I apologize. I'm reacting badly.

Simon and I gave it a lot of thought.
