If You Love Me Follow Me (Qui m'aime me suive)

I always go for boys from good families

who smell of clean linen.

If they're rebellious, my heart takes flight.

The pride of the family!

- Congratulations. - Thanks.

JL

You're so handsome.

Max...

- We're delighted. - Thank you.

The scion of a medical family,

Maxime Maréchal had been named head of chest surgery

in a leading Paris hospital.

You could've worn a tie.

Max, my darling torturer,

who could have made me happy but only saw me as his best friend.

For 19 years, I had witnessed his conquests,

led from one wonderful girl to the next,

until Anna, the woman of his life,

the romantic apotheosis.

Okay, baby?

Don't drink too much.

You smell good.

Here he is. The hero of the day!

Let me give you a hug, you jerk.

Bravo, Maxime.

You must be so happy.

Max was a mustang in a paddock of ponies.

But he had been tamed over the years

and they now had a tight rein on him.

My son!

Becoming a doctor is like becoming a priest.

I recall my debut in Hippocrates' realm

when, like you, I succeeded at everything,

when, like you, I had a bright future before me,

when, like you, I had a beautiful, generous wife.

My son!

The fanatic...

I've been hard on you at times

but I think we're all here tonight partly because of me.

I remember when your mother, desperate

because you spent more time with your guitar

than at your desk,

was worried sick about your future.

I reassured her, as I do.

I knew that you'd come back to us one day.

Here you are,

mature and responsible, barely more than a decade later,

the jewel of the elite.

My son!

Some time ago, I asked my friend Jean-Louis...

We had no idea of the earthquake about to turn our lives upside down.

Even though, before turning obedient,

Max had been Max.

IF YOU LOVE ME, FOLLOW ME

Hello, Mr Benamou.

Now then,

what's the problem?

What we're suggesting isn't magic. We're not wizards.

This is a university hospital and we want you in the study.

Will you be bugging me long?

I told your colleague I've heard enough.

The advantage is

you'll be monitored and better looked after.

Great for the others!

We'll explain things so you understand...

Dr Dautecour already explained.

I understand. I just don't want to do it.

I want traditional care.

I'm not a guinea pig, understand?

Can you see me as a human being or is that too much to ask?

That's not the issue. The new drug's ideal for you.

I'm not stupid, okay.

I haven't left my body to science.

I'm not dead yet.

Once I'm up and about, I'll get you all.

Keep away from me.

You don't know about being sick.

Of course.

They don't teach you young doctors that at school.

You should do time in a hospital bed.

No one's forcing you, sir.

I'll let you rest now.

Think it over and we'll talk again.

You don't realize.

I'm suffering and I'm scared too.

No one listens to me here.

- Sure. - I'll ask to be transferred.

I'll be treated better.

Ghouls like you...

Got a minute, Max?

Listen here, asshole!

You're not dying because of me.

You smoked 40 a day and I'm busting my ass for you!

Other people here are dying for no reason, dickhead!

I want to help them but you can go to hell!

Dr Maréchal...

What's wrong? Are you crazy?

God only knows, Jojo.

AJack Daniels, please. Adouble.

Good evening.

When I'm alone and I can dream

I dream I'm in your arms

I dream that I'm making

A quiet declaration

My declaration

When I'm alone and I can picture

That you're here by my side

I can imagine myself

Quietly making

A declaration

My declaration

Just two or three sweet words

To tell you about us

Two or three everyday words That's all

I could never tell you all that

I'd love to but I don't dare

I'd rather make my song

A declaration

Your stuff is good.

Thanks.

It depressed you, didn't it?

No, I'm serious.

You know, I have a group myself.

I'm a musician too.

You are?

I'm going to record an album.

It's going pretty well.

I'm looking for a backing singer.

Yes, a singer...

To record with me, see.

That's good.

What's your name?

Come on.

Chine.

I'm Max. Pleased to meet you.

Are you interested? Can I...

have your number?

Good night.

Not good night.

It's a chance of a lifetime.

I'm your lucky charm.

I'm serious.

You can't throw your talent away in this cheap dive...

I don't, I sing here!

You noticed, jerk?

Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you. You're very...

Listen, baby...

Wait.

Accept my offer.

It's 7:45.

You'll be late.

I'll get to work.

I'm in court this afternoon.

I'm not going.

What?

Call to say I'm sick and need to stay in bed.

No, I know.

Say I'm dead and that I'm in heaven.

What are you saying?

Come on, get up, lazybones!

Mum?

Is anybody home?

I'm an earthworm

I'm an earthworm

Stuck in a patch of honey

Because the fires of life

Have burned both my wings

And I'm drawn To your heart of flint

"Your heart of flint"...

Useless...

Metal, metal, metal, metal

Metal concept

Metal inept

Your heart, your heart, your heart

Your heart is dry

Long time no see.

What's going on?

You live around here?

Felipe...

Good old Felipe.

The short hair suits you.

Give me a second. I'm closing.

Go ahead, don't mind me.

Grab a beer from the fridge.

So what's up these days?

Not a lot.

You still make music?

Yeah.

From time to time.

Less and less.

Sorry, I have to meet someone.

Come back anytime.

I need to talk to you. It's important.

I'm in a hurry, Max.

Wait!

Cancel.

You haven't changed.

See you.

I'm forming a group.

In that shirt?
