and turn your light off

I'm making contacts. It could

help me get a promotion

You? You'll never be

VP of anything

Get up, get up,

we didn't hear the alarm

I deface the classroom walls

I have no socks left around these

holes! - Those are gone

Buy yourself some new ones.

The others are dirty

I gave you money for the kid's

new sheets, remember?

He prefers his sleeping bag

Don't you, sweetheart?

- At least, it keeps me warm

You're still here?

Why are you running?

- We're going to be late

We'll have to sneak in again and

we'll get in trouble. - Don't rush

Why?

- Sourpuss won't let you in

You think he'll do it? - Yes.

He can't stand you. You got money?

Sure. Lunch money.

- In that case, let's go

What's the plan?

Follow me. Put your bag

next to mine behind the door.

Will they be safe?

- I always leave mine here

Oh, my God. It's Antoine. I'm sure

he saw me. - Which one is your son?

The brown one.

He's supposed to be in school

You're going to get it tonight!

- Kidding? She won't tell my father

That wasn't him?

- Never saw him before

You're safe, then

I'll go back to school tomorrow

But I'll need an excuse note.

What about you?

I have an old letter from my folks

I never used

I'll cut off the date.

Here, you can copy it tonight

But the handwriting?

- Imitate your mother's

It'll be hard, she writes funny

Don't worry. It will work!

- I hope so

Dear Sir

Will you excuse my son

Rene

who was sick

My son Rene

Something's burning again here?

- It comes from downstairs

Set the table for two only.

- Why? Has Mom left?

No, she called to say

she'd be home late

Her boss needs her for the inventory

So we'll cook ourselves and

have a real bachelor's dinner

She said there are eggs.

- I know where

How was school today?

What did you study?

- The Hare

Oh, yes. The Hare and The Tortoise.

- No, it's just The Hare

Did you do well?

- I wasn't asked anything

You must be aggressive

to go forward in life

or else you won't make it

to the finish line

You have to take initiatives

Have you thought about your mother's

birthday? It's on the 17th, you know

I hope you'll get her something

Antoine, are you listening?

Oh, I know what you're thinking

She's been tough on you lately

She's nervous.

You have to understand

She has lots to do between

being a housewife and her job

And this place is too small

We might be moving soon.

I'm working on it

And you see, at the office

they take advantage of women

But she loves you, you know.

She does. Oh, sh*t

Where did you put my Michelin guide?

- I didn't touch it

Antoine, you know,

I can't stand it when you lie

I'm sure.

- I'm sure I had it yesterday
