- "Home"?
- Excuse me?
I'm calling from a mobile I found.
I didn't know the owner's name,
so I checked the contacts
so I called you.
- You have my phone?
- Looks that way.
Thank you! That's great.
Where did you find it?
On the terrace at the Garibaldi.
Wow! It's crazy. I looked everywhere.
I don't know how I forgot it.
L can tell you that.
You were arguing with someone.
You hung up abruptly, paid the bill,
and walked off
leaving your phone on the table.
- You were sitting next to me?
- A few tables away.
And you heard?
- Oh, no.
I'm so ashamed.
I must've seemed half-hysterical.
As you noticed, I'm having
relationship problems with someone...
- Bruno?
- Excuse me?
The relationship problems are with Bruno?
- He's called seven times since you left.
- OK.
He texted too.
- Should I read you his messages?
- No, that's OK. Very kind, thank you.
- But I don't understand...
- Yes?
If you saw me leave without my phone,
why didn't you just give it back to me?
I could've, it's true.
But what would've happened?
I'd have given you your phone,
you'd have said thank you,
and walked off without even seeing me.
Whereas now, when I give it back to you...
HI have your attention.
- Sh*t! What an idiot!
- Pardon?
My bath is running over.
- Go on, I'll call you back.
- OK.
Sh*t!
It's everywhere!
- You didn't leave me much time.
- Who didn't?
No, Bruno, that's enough.
We've argued enough for one day.
Diane, it's a mess.
There won't be an agreement.
I told you what I think! I'm tired now.
I'd like to take a bath or go to bed.
To do something else.
t'll go to court.
I won't give in. If you don't agree,
we'll separate. That's it.
We are separated, darling.
I meant professionally.
And stop calling me darling. It's absurd.
Why don't you trust me'?
Try me one time.
I have to go, I have a call.
- Who?
- It's none of your business.
Think it over, we need this...
Bruno, I'm hanging up! Goodbye.
Hello.
- Already?
- We barely know each other.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't think it was you.
I was talking to...
Bruno?
Yes. He's my ex.
- Has it been long?
- What?
That you've been separated.
Three years.
But I'm not sure anyone's told him.
Why am I telling you this?
I don't know you.
Me neither.
Do you have a name,
or do I keep calling you "Home"?
Home is a pretty name.
Diane. And you?
Alexandre.
Why does Bruno keep chasing after you?
He's not chasing after me. We're partners.
- I see.
- Yeah.
- You have a company?
- A law practice.
- Civil or corporate?
- A bit of both.
- Which do you prefer?
- It depends...
- What exactly are you doing?
- Nothing. Talking to you.
- It's pleasant, isn't it?
- Yes...
But it's kind of...
Kind of weird. You're right.
And I suggest we stop.
Now that we have
a fabulous opportunity...
- An opportunity?
- To have dinner together.
Oh, I see. And who exactly
is it an opportunity for?
For me, I admit.
- What's in it for me?
- A telephone!
But it's my telephone!
But I have it.
You're holding it hostage.
I don't know what to say, because...
I have one principle in life.
- Never have dinner with strangers.
- You're perfectly right.
Especially nowadays.
How about lunch?
A cup of coffee? Ice cream? A crpe?
A merry-go-round ride'?
Come on, I need some help!
You don't give up.
Never. Perseverance is
one of my foremost qualities.
- What about modesty?
- That too.
But I'm not sure it would get me
a yes tonight.
Am I right?
So, Home, what do you say?
Tomorrow, two pm?
I'm busy until three.
Then let's say 3:30.
- Do you know the Monte-Crista Caf?
- Yes.
Perfect. 3:
30 at the Monte-Crista.How will we recognise each other?
To start with, I know who you are.
Right. How silly of me.
And you'll see,
you won't be able to miss me...
- Then I'll see you tomorrow.
- OK.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
UP FOR LOVE:
Home?
I'm sorry, there was traffic.
- You OK?
- Yes, great.
It's always a bit strange,
meeting in the flesh.
You talk on the phone
and imagine something,
and it doesn't match.
- No, I didn't imagine
anything in particular. - Hello!
- What will it be today?
- Perrier for me.
- No ice and a lemon wedge.
- That's it.
- Anything else for you?
- No, thanks.
You come here often?
No. But as a rule, people remember me.
You have a pretty smile.
Oops, wrong move.
Before I forget the most important thing...
- What's wrong?
- Nothing.
I'm 16 inches short?
Is it a big deal?
- Not at all.
- No?
- No. It's even... Not a big deal
at all. No. - It's no big deal. No.
It's different.
It's original, perhaps surprising.
But not a big deal.
War's a big deal.
Bad breath is a big deal.
But not that.
I was a bit surprised, I admit.
I understand. Me too, it surprises me.
You weren't expecting
such a small man. It's normal.
And now you need time to take it in.
Yes, people are looking. What can I say?
They wonder what we're doing together,
a gorgeous blonde and a gnome.
But it's simple.
A strong-willed woman sent her ex-husband,
who's a nuisance, packing.
She was upset and forgot her phone.
A man who measures four foot five...
I know, I look taller,
but I'm actually four foot five...
- Sure.
What's so extraordinary? Nothing.
