The Man I Love (L'homme que j'aime) (L'Homme que j'aime)

THE MAN I LOVE

What are you two up to?

Cut it out now!

Give me that. Whose keys are they?

- They're mine. - Hand them over.

- What's your name? - Najib.

These are Lucas'. Where did you get them?

Hurry up and shower. We close in 15 minutes.

Martin, are you happy here?

Our lifeguard. You haven't met him. He's off duty today.

Close up the pool...

You're the new monitor?

I'm Lucas.

Martin.

You seem to have scored.

With them? Whatever...

I'll be closing in 15 minutes.

Not today. I'm diving.

But I'm finished.

And I'm just starting.

Find something to do.

Clean the lockers. The toilets are filthy.

Sorry, I'm not waiting an hour.

Hey hunk, I said...

it's closing time!

Happy now? How will I get home?

Take this.

Forget it. I'll manage.

Take it. I meant to give it to you. It's too big for me.

Look... I bet you look good in stripes.

My cologne... I hope you'll like it.

Lucas, wait up!

You walk fast!

Who asked you to follow me?

Still angry?

No, I don't care. It'll dry.

- Where are you going? - St. Victor.

Can I tag along?

You always walk with your head down.

So did I, when I was a kid. One day...

I banged into a wall. It was pretty serious.

Been working there long?

2 or 3 years.

A wedding ring! Married?

It's my mother's. She's dead.

Sorry...

I was 6 months old. I got over it.

You live alone or with someone?

No? Yes?

- Girls must like you. - That depends.

Are you seeing a girl or not?

You ask too many questions.

I don't know why. I'm usually shy.

Now we're both dead silent.

Can I ask you one last question?

- Answer... - What is it?

Are you gay?

I asked if you're gay. I am, that's why.

It's easier when everything's out in the open.

So?

I like you, Lucas.

Really... not just a little.

Can I invite you out?

What the hell? Are you stupid? You're sick!

Bingo.

Why are you here?

I found these at the pool.

You used the chimney?

The neighbor's.

Never put your address on your keys.

I don't care.

Can I have some water?

Running up stairs is bad for me.

I'll drink and scram. How about it?

You're into sign language?

- Deaf friends? - The kitchen's there.

I know sign language too.

Isn't that funny?

We can talk in signs. It's easier for communicating.

Weren't you thirsty?

If we work together,

we might as well get along. Forget what I said.

That's hard.

Sorry, I'm not deaf.

I misunderstood... I saw you signing.

Working with the deaf gets to me.

Lise.

Martin. I'm a friend of Lucas'.

You have a friend? Good!

We're not friends. We work together.

Yeah, we're... office mates.

"Friend" is a figure of speech.

Exactly... So long now.

I don't get it. How do you know sign language?

It's a long story.

Don't just stand there. Come tell me...

I have lots of deaf friends.

And my best friend's boyfriend is deaf.

But that's not the real reason.

Go on...

The first guy I fell in love with was deaf.

I didn't know how to approach him. I learned to sign.

- It can help. - Not at all.

It was a flop.

I wasn't his type.

And you?

Did you learn it out of love?

Sort of...

Generally speaking. I work with deaf kids. I interpret.

Stop it, Lucas!

- Where did you get this? - It's his.

We swapped. There was a flood at the pool.

I always said you look good in stripes.

What now?

See you later. We're busy.

So long...

Wait... Are you free for dinner?

I'd planned something romantic...

But that flopped too.

Don't stay by yourself.

Come eat with us.

I reserved for two.

Good thinking.

So long...

What's your problem?

Wait, I'm wearing heels!

#If you love me, beware!

#Beware!

What are you having?

Try the fish soup. It's not canned.

You keep on brooding.

Can't we talk?

You never talk?

Not much.

What do you like?

Music?

Books? Cars?

None of that.

Soccer! Let's talk soccer. I love it.

Oh yeah, I ask too many questions.

Why did you come?

Eating alone ruins my appetite.

And it's best that I don't diet.

Don't worry. I won't ruin your night out.

- No more tables. - Forget it. I'll go.

Out of the question. We'll squeeze.

Come on...

I'll sit between you two.

Good idea.

Really. We'll bother each other less.

What are you having?

Fish soup.

Stop, I'm dizzy!

Have you known Lucas for long?

A year, but it seems like forever.

You're lucky...

I mean, you both are.

Thanks for the flowers.

There's one for each of you.

You didn't say a word all night.

Nothing to say.

I like your Martin.

He's not my Martin!

I could get jealous. He likes you.

Cut the crap!

I bet guys like you.

Too bad for them.

Too bad for him.

Where are you going?

You deserve a prize.

Are you crazy?

You're showing off, you dive: you deserve this.

Idiot!

Stop it! What's going on?

Sorry, Mr. Millau.

Clean that up now!

You understand?

I'm going about it wrong.

I'll say.

Life sucks. Pools are full of guys like you.

I chose the wrong one.

Yeah, what a bummer.

You're not too angry?

Why would I be?

Cheers.

Where were you?

I had to work late.

I'm celebrating my birthday.

Same day, year after year. Call me dumb, but I like birthdays.

Lucas, why did you forget?

- Who are you kidding? - I had to work late.

Don't ever do it again.

Now you say "Happy Birthday".

And now you kiss me.

Let go of the pole, Mrs. Raspail.

Move your legs, your arms... Very good.

Take a breath. Watch your rhythm.

I'm fed up. Since you work together,

it's non-stop trouble.

You could have killed her!
