Vivace! Page #4

The man isn't happy.

He talks about happiness

all the time.

See? It's as if he were jealous.

- Jealous? No. Why...?

- Pauline!

Yes, I'm coming.

Look at the wonderful painting

they've given us.

Ah, it's... it's fabulous, Henri.

You shouldn't have.

Are you mad? He's mad!

My one model provides me

with much inspiration.

Your only model.

Did you mention it?

No, not yet, darling. But I will.

I'm thinking of a painting that

would juxtapose two types of beauty.

One of them rather modern,

the other more classical.

Hand me your glass. In other words,

a young woman and an older one.

No, darling, that's not it at all.

I'm interested in the mix of styles.

Two beautiful but different women.

Thank you.

And I thought of you, Pauline.

- Would this be a nude portrait?

- Of course.

It'll be beautiful. That's why I'm

asking you in front of your husband.

Yes.

Can I think about it first?

Naturally. But don't wait too long.

Models have to be spontaneous.

- Well, cheers.

- Cheers.

Cheers.

Are the chops ready?

You know, if you want to pose

for him, why not?

After all, it's art.

I don't see why

Gilles would lie to me.

- What are you talking about?

- Gilles, his wife.

Mathilde says she never saw her.

He tells me she left.

But what does that mean?

Did she die?

I can't believe it.

You're obsessed with him.

Listen, darling, who cares about him?

Besides,

never mind what Mathilde said.

She's pretty batty too.

- Have you seen that painting?

- Don't you like it?

- Not particularly, no.

- I think it's magnificent.

Sure, if you were the nude,

it would be a masterpiece.

- You're such an idiot.

- I mean it.

Stop it.

- Close the shutters.

- No.

Close the shutters.

Go on.

I'm going, I'm going.

I'll get it.

Hello?

Hi. Yes, fine. You?

With pleasure.

Great.

We'll get ready and come over.

See you in a bit. Bye.

Alex, I've got great news.

We're going for a swim.

- For a swim? Where?

- That was Gilles.

He has a surprise for us.

And he's got a pool.

- You were dreaming of taking a dip.

- I've still got work to do.

How many bilingual Mexicans

do you think there are in Florida?

- Try and guess.

- I don't know.

Well, as soon as you're ready,

let's go. I'll grab the towels.

The Magic Flute. I love Mozart.

How about you? Do you love Mozart?

I'm going to Salzburg this year,

to hear Riccardo Muti.

- Are you going alone?

- I always do.

Even when you were married?

- Would you like some sugar?

- Yes, please. One spoon.

Thank you.

Is that an avocado tree?

- Yes, it is. Well done.

- From Mexico?

You must have seen

a lot of them over there.

- And right next to it...

- It looks like an aloe.
