Lily Sometimes (Pieds nus sur les limaces)

LILY SOMETIMES

Lily!

Get up! I need to go shopping.

I'm playing dead hare.

Come on, I'm late.

Then play "Hare on the Run" now!

What are you wearing at all?

I don't like you run around like this. Go get something else please.

See you later.

Have fun! - Bye, sweetie!

I love you!

Mom!

Let us say one last prayer,

before we deliver her to the Lord.

Lord,

let Francoise rest in peace.

Dearest mother,

let some tears flow, so that your flowers grow.

Dearest mother,

you've left much too early,

but I'll keep you forever in my heart.

I will find the happiness

that you picked before me so often.

Bedded under nettle and dandelion are you now,

without my mice and my sister who rescues me.

Thank you for everything.

The main artery in the brain... - The stem!

Exactly, the brain stem.

Five minutes before everything was fine.

The stem broke suddenly

and her head was flooded,

like in a thunderstorm.

And her brain was smashed, like in a box that's too small.

But she hasn't suffered, Lily.

Say you.

She surely suffered a lot.

I don't think so. Everything happened so fast.

You weren't in her head.

Excuse me.

Thanks, that's sweet of you.

If she had got help earlier, maybe she'd still be alive.

One hour she sat there and stared at her mother.

I did run for help. - Not so loud.

It's okay.

You should eat something. - I'm not hungry.

Then drink something. A juice.

I'll get you one.

Not bad. - I'm dying of hunger.

I see that.

You wear black, too, really idiotic.

Do I look like an idiot?

You never really look like an idiot.

Don't eat so fast.

She'd be very happy to see that all have come.

Are you joking?

They're here for the food.

She didn't even know most of them.

What's her name again? - Victor.

Victor, but it's a she? - Yes.

I like her hair.

Want to eat all that?

At least not mom.

Clara? My parents are leaving.

Here's the number of the office where we work.

You have my cell phone number, don't you?

I'll give you Pierre's also.

If there's a problem, call us.

Thank you, Mireille.

Please come for a few hours a day. - I will.

She shouldn't be alone all day.

We'll spend the weekends with her.

Right, Pierre? - Yes, dear.

Let's do it.

I loved your mother very much.

Lily?

What are you doing?

It doesn't bother me to be alone, really!

Are you sure?

It is... How do you say?

Inspiring.

When you went to study, mom said:

"This is going to be very inspiring for Clara. "

Really?

And if there's any real trouble, I'll call Paulo.

I doubt that he can help you.

I'd prefer to call Mireille.

Oh no...

If you leave Friday,

then Friday...

Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

That makes four nights.

Four nights aren't much.

We'll arrive Friday.

And leave Monday.

And a long weekend is ahead now.

That's good.

I like long weekends.

Not on the day of mom's funeral.

We're ready to leave. Where are you?

Oh, little deer!

Hey, watch out!

Now he runs away!

Look!

Have you seen the mess, you have left?

Don't clog the drain...

with these beasts.

Do it somewhere else please! Not at the breakfast table!

You suck.

You're not my mother. - You can clean up your stuff anyway!

Here I rule.

What day is it today?

Wednesday.

180.

180 grams.

Slippers.

Clara.

Today's green tomatoes.

I'm not eating that. - I'll make tomato pies.

I don't like green ones!

They won't be green anymore, after I've fried them.

They become yellow.

I won't eat today anyway.

You don't need to come, if you don't like it.

A raccoon?

With white eyes?

Maybe he was sick.

But, believe me!

Perhaps he was already ill before. Wait, Lily.

Lowen's office, good morning. Who is it please?

Mr. Lederman for you.

Has she disemboweled him? And then washed your hands?

That's good.

Do you have the case file? - Yes.

Thank you.

Stop it, you know how disgusting I find maggots.

Are you eating enough?

I'll give him a kiss from you. Promised.

Greetings from Lily.

Please come in.

Greet her back.

I'm in the office. I'll call you tonight.

I love you too.

Kiss kiss.

You should know...

that my wife has lost her mother...

I hope you like curry.

I love curry!

Pierre has just told us. Losing one's mother is never easy.

I'll probably never get over it.

She died quite suddenly. A heart attack. No warning signs.

This is really hard.

With a disease you have time and can prepare for it.

With your father, for example. You had almost a year's time.

Liver cancer, that formed metastases. - Your food's getting cold.

A beautiful evening.

Are you closing the light? I'll go to bed.

Hello Paulo! - Hello.

I'd like to invite you.

Now that Mom is gone, we can do it in my room.

It's best you come early in the evening, so around...

Six, six thirty. When Mireille's gone.

Good idea, right?

I don't know...

Let me know when you've found out.

Tonight, I can't make it.

Let's say tomorrow. At half past six.

Yes, maybe.

Until then.

Bye.

To be an orphan you're pretty happy.

Inside me it looks very different.

Have you gone crazy?

Come down and get ready.

The house can't breath under this damn scrub.

Come down now!

Hurry up.

She's really annoying...

Lowen's office.

Yes, Mireille.

Okay, we'll come.

Pierre!

There's trouble with Lily.

Mireille just called.

What's going on?

No idea.

What has happened?

What the hell got into her?

I left her alone for a moment. - Alone? In the city?

I had to go to bank.

I was right back.

And all of a sudden

the fire brigade was there.

She was in the shop, swearing

and fighting with a clerk.

She has beaten a saleswoman?

They had to give her a sedative injection.

You should take care of her.

The soup is delicious. Try it.

Lily?

What do we do now?
