Time Out (L'Emploi du temps)

TIME OUT

Hello, Muriel.

Did you sleep well?

Did Alice have a hard time getting up?

I'm OK...

I have a meeting on the other side of Marseille.

I'm already late.

Yeah, it will take all morning.

I don't know.

I'll call you at 1. Will you be at home?

Well, OK...

Later... I love you.

Muriel, I lost track of time.

I was afraid you'd already left for school.

Sure, it went well...

But impossible deadlines...

I had to catch us up.

What? Are you joking?

Don't make fun of me!

Don't expect me to be perfect.

I'm losing you... I can't hear you...

That's better...

My day isn't over. Still another client to see.

This one won't be easy to get rid of.

We have a restructuring plan to organise.

I hope it won't end too late.

Don't count on me for dinner.

Of course, I plan to come home.

I'll call you around 6.

I'll know more then. OK?

I love you.

And now for today's stock exhange movements,,,

It didn't go well at all.

It took 3 of us... But we didn't convince him.

Now we have to have dinner together.

Sort of an emergency unit...

Sorry. Tonight is off.

Tomorrow, I promise.

I have to talk to you about Switzerland.

There's a big chance...

It just may work out.

Nothing's certain.

We'll talk this weekend. OK?

I have to go. I love you.

See you tomorrow.

Daddy! Daddy!

How are my little monsters?

Hurry up for my school fair!

Mum said you wouldn't arrive on time.

Really?

You're back so early!

I got off early because of yesterday's hell.

I left you a note because we're on our way out.

We've only got 3 teachers for that fair! I've had it, I swear.

Hurry up, Alice, or we'll be late.

Your car or mine?

I'm dead tired. I'll rest and join you later.

Felix is counting on you.

Sure. Just a little nap.

Hey, Mum!

Hi, son.

Muriel says you might change jobs.

I asked you to keep it to yourself. You had to tell her...

Is it true or not? - Nothing's sure yet.

Good luck getting information out of him!

Grandma!

What is with you?

Will you ever tell me about this job?

I promise I will.

See you later.

Before I forget...

Your colleague... That English guy...

Jeffrey? - He called...

Just after you left. Wednesday, I think...

What did he want?

Don't know... To speak to you.

See you later.

Listen, Jeffrey. I told you not to call here.

I already told you. Muriel is still too weak.

I want to keep her out of all this.

I know I'm not easy to reach...

But I don't want you calling here, OK?

I'm sorry, but I don't have time.

I'll call you later.

Vincent...

Vincent... Wake up.

Hi, Dad.

I didn't hear you.

What time is it? I hope the school fair isn't over.

That's exactly why I'm here. - That's good ofyou.

You're so pale.

You're not going to send me to the doctor, are you?

But you look tired.

I'm just a little overworked.

So it seems you're applying for a new job.

News travels fast!

Won't you tell us more?

For now, my fingers are crossed.

Why hide this from me?

It's silly.

Don't you know how happy I'd be?

How much for the red one?

This one?

No, the other one.

15 francs.

You're crazy, Felix!

Why lower your prices? - I don't know.

You sold the other one for 30.

I liked the other one. I don't care about this one.

But he doesn't know that you didn't like it much.

I'll do what I want.

It's 15 francs. It's too late!

Your kid can't appreciate your commercial strategies.

He's a little reluctant, but I'm not giving up.

Dad, come here! Grandpa is buying drinks.

Good news!

Go on. I'll watch the stand.

Keep an eye on Felix. He's underselling his toys.

Don't worry.

Good evening, Luc. - Good evening, sir.

Have some champagne with us?

Gladly. What's the occasion?

That's for Vincent to say. - Stop. I have nothing to tell.

He's changing jobs.

He won't say any more.

Really, Vincent? - No... He's dreaming.

I know you.

Nothing's concrete.

Hello, stranger! - How are you?

Nice to see you.

Missed you at Patrick's birthday. - It's nice to be missed.

How's the painting? - Don't ask!

Have you moved?

2 weeks ago... You're well-informed.

We're having a housewarming next month.

Can we count on you?

Why not?

All of you come have a drink with us.

Let's celebrate Vincent's new job!

It's funny Muriel never mentioned it.

That's because nothing is set yet.

So what's the job? - He still won't tell us!

Will you consult again? - No thanks!

It has something to do with Switzerland.

The mystery's solved. He'll work in a bank.

Maybe not.

The most important thing is to be paid in Swiss francs.

In Geneva?

You'll all see.

Are you changing jobs?

I don't know, honey.

What can I get you?

A cola for me.

I'll share with her.

You'll have champagne with us!

That's enough!

All these secrets!

Don't get your hopes up.

You'll only be disappointed.

I'm no idiot.

If you weren't sure, you wouldn't have said anything.

But I didn't say anything!

Do they know at the office?

You can't just drop them like that!

OK, I gave my notice a month ago...

Well, now we can toast in peace!

I can't believe you!

But this is good news, Muriel!

When did you plan on telling me?

This is silly, Muriel. Really!

When do you start?

I'm going back to Switzerland this week to formalise my contract.

So, you start soon?

And you'll be away during the week?

I knew you'd react like this.

That's why I was vague.

How should I react? We hardly see each other.

For a while now,

I've hated my job.

You must have noticed. I'm really suffocating.

What are you talking about?

I'm certainly not criticising you for wanting to change jobs.

So I didn't handle it well.

But this is a chance for me.

It's a really interesting job. You'll be surprised.

I feel like I've regained some enthusiasm.

I'm happy for you.

It's great to change one's life.

But I'll be doing the same as always. Housework, the kids...

Don't play dumb. You see the role I'm stuck with.

I never imagined myself like this.

Why not break out of that?

Seriously, I'll be making a lot of money.

You could do something else...

Yes, I could go back to school, become a professor.

No, I know you're tired of your job.

You must have ambitions other than teaching...

50 yards from home, always the same faces...

What's wrong?

Nothing.
