Sage femme Page #5

A Bordeaux?

I'd suggest a Saint-Julien or a Graves.

-Saint-Julien. You'll have a glass?

-I don't drink.

And water, please.

Still or sparkling?

Tap water will do.

-What's your son's name again?

-Simon.

-What's he like? You have good relations?

-Okay.

He's ready to leave home.

Will you introduce me?

I'd love to meet him.

He's in the middle of exams.

Claire, I've thought things over.

I realize I treated you badly.

I'd like to pay my debt.

Pay your debt?

Yes, by leaving you something.

Money.

A tidy sum of money.

-No, no.

-Why not?

-Because there's no reason.

-Of course there is!

I'd be happy to know that when I die,

I'll make your life easier.

My life isn't hard.

It's my life. And I like it the way it is.

Wouldn't you like to travel

or take some time for yourself?

No.

Are you alone?

Excuse me?

-Do you have someone?

-No.

Has it been a long time?

Can you tell me why you left

from one day to the next?

-You really want to talk about this?

-Yes.

I knew the question

would come up at some point.

You don't waste time, that's good.

Was it really about money?

Yes, but not only.

What are you doing?

Don't be silly. What's wrong?

Sit down.

We'll never understand each other.

We were just starting to be friends again.

Starting to be friends again?

You disappear for over 30 years,

and I'm supposed to jump when you need me?

I don't want your money.

I don't want to be indebted to you,

Beatrice Sobolewski.

-I don't need you to survive.

-Are you finished?

And one last thing.

I'm really sorry

about your health problem,

but before thinking about coffins,

try giving up smoking, drinking,

red meat and fries.

You'll stop feeding your cancer.

It might be worth a try. Don't you think?

A pain in the ass, just like her father.

Claire!

Wait for me!

Why are you doing this?

You want me to have an epileptic fit

on the sidewalk?

That'd teach you.

We all make mistakes. Sh*t!

You've made mistakes too, haven't you?

Okay, I wasn't fair to him,

but he wasn't easy to live with!

How could I know

he'd kill himself over me?

It flatters your ego, doesn't it?

It's the very opposite! Claire, stop.

I'll faint.

Why did you come back?

I was at peace with all that.

When I found out I was ill

and could die any day,

I thought about

what had counted most in my life...

and it was your father.

He's the only man

who really counted for me, I swear.

What about the others?

You can spend years with a man

who'll always be a stranger,

and a single night with one

you remember your entire life.

Then why did you leave him?

I don't know!

I didn't want the dream to end.

He was finished.

He got this idea in his head
