The Barbarian Invasions Page #3

- Which lunatic?

- lt's irrelevant.

The tears, rolling eyes:

"My Rmy!"

- Who's he talking about?

- Marlne Dupire.

You didn't sleep

with Marlne Dupire?

She's a certified nut,

everyone knows!

You wrecked your family

for her kind?

l wrecked nothing.

You ruined mom's life,

my adolescence, Sylvaine's...

Blaming me for her failure?

She loves the sea, she sails the world,

delivering yachts.

Beats a third-rate university

in some backwater province.

You may be a millionaire,

but you know nothing!

l know l won't end up like you!

She's the reason l'm here.

She raised me, not you!

l'm here for her, not you!

Don't you have a plane

to catch to Hong Kong?

l don't need you,

not for one second!

Go to hell!

F*** you!

Go to hell!

F***!

We're returning to London.

You can't!

We offer him the finest hospital,

he refuses.

You heard him.

He'll never change.

Plan to have kids?

Definitely.

Until you're a parent,

you'll never understand.

He changed your diapers.

He called your teachers

every month all through school.

You never knew that.

He so wanted you to do well.

When you had meningitis

at age three,

he rocked you in his arms

for 48 hours non-stop, without sleep,

to keep death at bay.

You can't remember that.

What should l do?

Find his friends.

Find him a comfortable room.

That shouldn't be hard.

The Ministry

forbids changing hospitals.

Anyway, they'd park him

in a hall in Emergency.

- The floor below is empty.

- Two years, now.

Could he move there?

lce cream with your pie?

You can always ask

at Administration. Good luck!

Thanks.

l'll leave you now.

You're lucky

to have such a caring son.

You think so?

Look around! See many children

at their parent's bedside?

l'm here every day, so l know.

They never stay long.

l never see mine.

And your dad?

Was he hospitalized?

- At the end.

- Did you visit?

He lived in Chicoutimi,

l was in Montreal.

You came from England?

London, Chicoutimi, for you...

same thing?

Are you becoming confused?

When it's over, press End.

That stops it.

lt's hard, but if you concentrate,

you'll manage.

Hi, Dad!

See, the Pacific Ocean.

We sail from Sydney

to New Caledonia,

on to Easter lsland

and finally Valparaiso.

l'm sending you lots of sea air.

They say it's good for your health.

l have to go.

Satellite connections cost a fortune.

l'm sending lots and lots of kisses.

Bye for now!

Hi, Dad!

See, that's the Pacific--

Badge?

Security badge?

Ms. Pelletier?

Lloyd's of London.

Didn't they give you one?

- No.

- This is Administration.

Last door on the right.

But next time you need a badge.

Hello.

Pauline Joncas-Pelletier.

Please have a seat.

So you're with Lloyd's of London?
