Triptyque Page #3

A bit of synchronization.

I'm doing auditions.

That's encouraging, isn't it?

Since my operation...

I've been having memory blanks.

It's as if something broke

and I can't piece it back together again.

Is it normal?

It depends.

It's different for everyone.

Are certain things more difficult

than others to remember?

Huge chunks of my childhood

have completely vanished.

I remember family gatherings...

that I was close to my father.

What did he do for a living?

He worked in construction.

He didn't say much.

Do you remember

the sound of his voice?

That was a long time ago.

I was 12 when he passed away.

Maybe if you looked through

your old family albums,

it might bring memories back.

Hopscotch is easy.

Do you know any other games?

I don't know. What's that?

Yeah, I'm good at this game.

Cut. Cut, Marie.

A few things need to be tweaked,

but nothing major.

You sure?

It's all there. Come on,

we'll sign your time sheets.

Would you like milk and sugar?

Would you like milk and sugar?

No thanks.

You're cute.

There.

I can't see his lips.

It would be easier

if he was facing the camera, right?

There.

My father's saying something.

He's saying,

"Look, Marie. Wave to the camera."

That's it?

There are other places

where he says more.

Let's make him row a bit faster.

There.

He's saying,

"Look at my new car.

Want to go for a ride?"

"Look at my new car.

Want to go for a ride?"

It's trivial.

It's life.

This plane...

is called...

Concorde.

So, there's "sonic" in supersonic.

Because it goes faster than sound.

- This...

- ...plane...

The fastest...

in the world.

Now, read what you've written.

And then we'll read it out loud.

All right?

Michelle?

What are you doing here?

- You've run away from the hospital?

- No, I haven't.

They let me out.

They gave me special permission...

That's not true. They called me

to tell me you had run away!

Listen to me.

You come to the church,

I'm in the middle of rehearsal,

you force me

to send everyone home.

I only have you, Marie.

I don't want to go back.

I've been there for too long.

I can't do it anymore.

I just need to stay here with you

a little while, then I'll be fine.

I don't want to go back.

Some of them are so scary.

It's all right.

I think you're tired.

Come on. Come.

Do you remember Daddy's voice?

Of course I remember it.

He spoke very softly.

And he had such a lovely singing voice.

You know, when he sang...

that hymn?

You know...

After my operation...

I noticed I was having memory blanks.

There are big chunks

of my childhood...

that I don't remember at all.

And what makes me most sad

is having no memory of Dad's voice.

Time to go. Hurry up.
