- Right, l'll get us some pizza.

- You know it?

- Of course.

- Well, l think it's funny.

You're on your own, then.

Want some whisky? Eh?

No.

Have a drink.

Oh, no.

Settle in.

l'll get some food.

Get comfy. Over there.

Drink!

Are you too hot?

She's too hot.

- Where's your wife?

- On holiday.

And the kids?

Them too.

What are their names?

Kevin and Coralie.

Where's my glass?

Yes, that's true. When he's pissed,

he always goes on about his kids.

Do l bore people with my kids?

You don't have any.

Stop it!

You idiot!

Leave me alone!

Jesus! You idiot! Where is she?

Why did you let her go?

Christ! You idiot.

Sure you don't want to

come to Paris?

What for?

l don't know.

As you please.

Did you hear?

lt made me cry.

The car.

lt's the other way.

l'm cold. Jean!

l can't run.

l have a heart murmur.

lt's true.

lt's nothing, but l do.

Stop!

You're out of your mind!

Leave me alone.

Vanish!

Vanish where?

What?

Can't you stop that noise?

- What are you waiting for?

- Don't talk to me like that!

Drive, Christ!

Drive! Drive!

Go on!

Thank you for taking me home.

- Are you okay?

- Yes.

You're all pale.

We often fight.

We always have.

But this is...

- ''This is''?

- l don't know.

Maybe he's left me.

- ls he always this violent?

- No.

Or l'd have gotten a divorce.

Oh, yes.

lt's because...

lt's his work, you see...

We travel so much...

With the children, it's not easy.

l'm tired and he's cross.

But it's okay.

Really, it's okay.

For all that, it's okay.

l'm scared he won't come back.

Don't worry.

lt was the same with me.

Yes? And did you know

it was going to be like that?

- l mean, beforehand?

- l don't know.

Probably.

Drink up.

l'm sure it will help.

Do you love your husband?

Mine died two years ago.

He was nice.

He took care of us.

He loved our eldest daughter.

He liked to go fishing with his mates.

He didn't drink much.

He was good-looking.

But you see, oddly...

l think l never loved him.

Have you never been in love?

Oh, yes.

Once.

l was very young.

Don't you want to talk about it?

l was 15.

He was a year older.

We met.

l think we were

very much in love...

l don't know, we didn't call it that.

We didn't know those words.

lt just happens.

lt's very simple.

Our fathers kept us apart.

We weren't to meet.

He wasn't studying

and l was too young.

You weren't supposed to see boys.

He was sent to boarding school.

We stopped seeing each other.

We didn't complain.

We just stopped seeing each other.

That's it.

Life began.

lt carried on.

And now it's almost over.

And he became a dentist.

He had kids. Me too.

l heard from him and him from me.
