The Queen of Hearts Page #2

---

You're sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

Anyway, I don't want to be cured.

I want to let myself die.

Ah, well that's very different.

Why don't you commit suicide?

I already tried once,

but I messed it up.

That's too bad.

Well, luckily, otherwise I'd be dead.

But you just said the opposite,

that you wanted to let yourself die.

No, that is...

I'm unhappy, I'm suffering

and I want to continue suffering,

to continue loving him.

- Who?

- Mathieu.

Why, is he dead?

No, he left me.

That's tough.

But you'll get over it.

My cousin said

I have to meet other men.

She's right.

- I don't like any of them.

- Have you met a lot?

No, only you

and I don't like you at all.

I didn't ask anything from you.

I don't give a damn if you like me.

I don't like you at all,

with your rotten unhappiness.

- You're very mean.

- I'm mean?

I could not take care of you.

I don't know you.

Plus, it's cold.

If I was mean,

it's because you hurt me.

You too, you hurt me.

Okay. In fact,

you never admit you're wrong.

- Yes, I do.

- No, you don't!

- You don't.

- I do. Stop bugging me!

Give me an example then.

Well, err...

for example, it's my fault Mathieu left me,

because I'm a big zero.

That's not recognizing your faults.

That's flagellating yourself.

Really?

What I said before,

I didn't really mean it.

Why did you say it?

I don't know.

I was afraid

that you wanted to sleep with me.

I must be truly repulsive.

I'm sorry but this kind of situation

makes me panic.

Adele,

I don't know you

but I respect you.

Shall we meet again tomorrow?

With pleasure.

Adele.

Thank you, Pierre.

Darling, I have good news.

I've found you a job.

A photographer at the agency needs

someone to take care of her baby.

Her name is Gladys.

I told her you're very stable

and you adore children.

You're booked

for tomorrow for a trial day.

- Tomorrow?

- Yes, tomorrow.

You're not pleased?

You're being ridiculous.

You're not eating?

Err... no.

I'm not very hungry.

I think I'm going to go to bed.

Good idea. You'll be on top form

for your meeting tomorrow.

Adele didn't see Pierre again.

She even forgot about him.

Her new job goes well

but isn't very interesting.

Day follows day, all alike.

She's often bored

and feels very lonely.

She's alive,

but only half-alive.

Rachel is very pleased.

She thinks Adele is

recovering more and more.

She shares the groceries,

does the cleaning, waters the plants.

She finds her more

and more responsible.

She gets used to her roommate.

She even starts to trust her.

Morning.

What a nice little breakfast table!

You're sleeping okay on the floor?

Your back doesn't hurt?

Actually, I wanted to ask you...
