you know, with the baby-sitting,

I saved some money,

and I thought...

I could buy a little sofa-bed.

Stop right there.

I detest sofas.

Looks like a waiting room.

But it's true

this situation can't continue.

There's only one solution:

We both sleep in the same bed.

- Are you sure?

- Yes.

And we'll try it this evening.

Don't wait for me for dinner.

I might be back late.

Really? That's annoying.

I wanted to make a risotto.

Hello.

Got to rush.

Louise is still asleep.

I'm sorry, I dozed off.

Don't worry. Hurry off home.

My husband's waiting downstairs.

Thank you, sir.

Please call me Jacques.

Goodbye, Jacques.

Good bye.

You're really back late.

- I was waiting.

- She wanted me to stay late this evening.

And tomorrow, I'll be back even later.

They're going out.

- That's good, you make more money.

- That's what I thought.

Here, it's for you.

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

You remembered,

that's really nice.

Yes, because we were born

the same day.

Really, I didn't know.

Well, that's lucky, because I have

a surprise for you too. Raise your napkin.

It's the door key.

It's your key.

It's the first birthday

I've celebrated without Mathieu.

You can't forget him?

It's still a little hard, today

I don't think I'll be able to

Everything in me is so dark

I'm suffocating, strangle me

Because I'm not brave enough

to do it myself

I don't have the strength,

I want to die

Strangled

like a Hitchcock heroine

Killed by her lover

Who loved her so much,

loved her so much...

It's still a little hard, today

I don't think I'll be able to

He opened a wound in me

I'm suffering, strangle me

Because I'm not brave enough

to do it myself

I don't have the strength,

I want to die

Strangled

like a Hitchcock heroine

Killed by her lover

Who loved her so much,

loved her so much...

Loved her so much...

Loved her so much.

You need to sleep with other men.

Other men.

Good night, Adele.

So sorry, it's really late.

- Was everything okay?

- Yes.

- Isn't she lovely?

- Yes, very.

My husband's waiting downstairs

to take you home.

Adele!

I'm so lucky to have you.

Good evening.

It's the end of programming

on French Classical Radio.

Don't forget your date tomorrow

with Marie-Therese Lucon

for the 5:
45 morning program.

Wishing all our listeners

a very good night.

And that's all from us...

Adele,

it does me good to see you.

I think about you often.

I want to take you

to a very good restaurant.

It's complicated, Jacques.

Think about it.

Yes, Jacques.

Rachel,

do you think

when a man asks you to dinner at

a very good restaurant, he wants sex?

It's a good start, anyway.

Did someone invite you?
