Nénuphar

Saturday the 3rd.

Holidays have begun.

Mum left me the house;

I invited Jeremy for a few days.

It'll be good to spend time with him.

He arrives tonight.

Can't wait!

Wow.

I wanted this.

Now you'll have to do the same every day.

Hope springs eternal.

You can't listen to this kind of thing!

You won't convince me with your French songs.

- Of course yes! - You won't...

French songs are great, there are lyrics!

Yeah, too many lyrics, less music, impossible to dance.

Country music is danceable,

it's unifying, we all love that.

It's like cowboys dancing together!

Give me one country-party and I'll convert you.

Hello?

Yes, Mum. Had a good trip?

Your parcel's not here yet.

But I'll stay home this week, so I won't miss it.

I don't know, maybe I'll see my girlfriends.

Mum, that's sweet, but I won't invite anyone here,

if they damage anything, I'll be responsible.

Right. Call me tomorrow when you get to your hotel?

Take care, you too.

You know you're a marvelous liar?

Actually, I think she'd be glad to know you are here.

But I don't like to talk about these things with my mother.

Now she knows for us two, doesn't she?

She probably has doubts...

Yes?

Hello?

She must've tried to call back. Connection is bad in the airport.

What do we do today?

Nothing, that's why we're here.

Great holidays!

Maude, I must revise...

My exams are in two weeks, and I'm not ready at all.

Still on this?

That's your 4th year's book!

I have to review some things.

Don't wanna go out?

No, today I can't...

Come on!

Maude, I'm telling you I cannot today.

Mr. Jeremy!

You are condemned to stroll downtown with me.

Ha-ha-so-funny. Put that away.

Stop it. Give this!

Get off your ass!

- You'll knock someone out. - That's my goal!

OK, OK...

You're a pain.

It means "yes"?

Let me finish, and we'll see.

Still love me?

Monday the 5th.

Jerem finally changed his mind:

We went for a walk near the department stores around 5 p.m.

He was glancing at the rings.

Maybe I imagine things.

It'd be funny he has this in mind,

because I don't, at all.

Well yes...

Actually, maybe a little bit.

Wait, it hurts.

You alright?

Yeah.

Worrying about your exams?

A little.

You passed each term!

You'll have your degree for sure.

Yes, but…

Now it's about specialization or immediate work.

I'm a bit lost…

At worst, you drop everything and work with me in the shop.

Yeah, great.

Selling padded bras to little grannies

would really suit you.

Really "suit me"?

You saw what's happening in Pont-Feril?

Pont-Feril is rubbish.

It's normal it goes bad.

But now there are big riots.

TV news even mentioned a civil war…

They dramatize.

If the government keeps on ignoring everything…

It'll become unmanageable.

It's at the edge of the canton…

In the center we're safe.

Too far.

Anyway, what do you intend to do after your contract at the shop?

I think it will be renewed

since I get on very well with the management…

Otherwise I'll work as a waitress in the bar nearby…

Or will do something else.

And then I'd like to, why not, take a flat.

Really? You would leave your mother's house some day?

I'll have to, right?

It is nice here, but I don't know

if staying with my mother

is really a good thing for her.

Hello?

What are you doing?

The telephone rang…

I heard that. Was it your mother?

I don't know, no one talked.

Did you take the bat?

What?

I didn't touch your bat.

I did put it back there…

It must've slipped under the sofa.

We'll seek tomorrow, come back to bed.

Could you deal with it please?

Er, honestly? No.

Jerem, please!

What a lubber, I dropped all my papers!

You think I should go and gather them?

How old are you?

Hello. There's a parcel for Mrs... Wanda Quentin.

I'm Maude Quentin, her daughter.

Just need a signature.

There.

Thanks.

Thank you very much.

Oh come on…

Are you sulking?

Yes.

Even if I cook tonight?

OK, what would you like to do tomorrow?

Why should I always choose? You can have ideas too.

You're right, I have some.

I think we could… visit the swimming pool,

then the living-room,

we can even make a detour by the kitchen,

After I have other…

I will smash this plate in your face.

Hey, just suggesting.

If you want, we'll go for a stroll in the park.

The park close by? Oh great.

Wow, amazing activity!

OK so, everything I'll say, you'll be opposed.

It's not my fault if you're making lame suggestions on purpose!

Right, my bad, I'm not as extraordinary as you.

- Yeah exactly. - I know.

You could…

I don't know, let's go to the new museum! It has just opened.

Up for it?

We'll see tomorrow, if I'm motivated.
