You're Sleeping Nicole (Tu dors Nicole)

Hey.

I can't sleep.

Will I see you again?

What for?

To have fun.

This was fun.

You're hard to follow.

- Bye. - Bye.

- Hello? - Hello?

- Dad'? - Hello?

I can't hear anything.

- Nicole? - Yes.

I don't know if she hears me.

- I hear you, Dad. - Nicole?

If you can hear me, hold on.

- Damn phone! - What's wrong?

Same as before. She doesn't answer.

- Did you press the button? - Of course I did!

- Do I have to climb on the roof? - Press the button.

I pressed the button!

Wait a sec.

- Nicole? - Hi, Dad.

- You hear me now? - Sure.

It's working now.

- So, how are things? - Good, you?

Yeah. If it would stop raining.

I'm not joking.

We haven't had a nice day since we arrived.

That sucks. It's boiling here -

Did they call for Mom's suitcases?

No.

She says they haven't called.

Where the hell are they?

- It's not my fault. - I didn't say it was.

I dunno. Maybe they're -

Are things OK at home?

Everything's under control.

Mom asks if you watered the garden.

Yeah.

For the pool, you remember, huh? One chlorine tablet after you -

Yeah, I know.

I have the list you wrote. Don't worry.

Fine.

Did your brother call?

Rémi. Has he been by?

OK. What else?

Nothing, that's it.

Well, well. Come in!

Nicole, I gotta go. Estelle and Jean-Claude are here.

- Fine. - We'll talk soon?

What's this?

A skirt.

Right, it's a skirt. So where's it go?

There. Not in the men's pile.

Do you wear skirts?

You sure? A little skirt... In secret, maybe?

- No, never. - Yeah, right!

What do you think, Normand? For me.

Well...

That's all?

You're joking. it's perfect.

What are you doing?

I'm coming.

Isn't it too hot to bake?

I know. But I had this craving.

I think I got the quantities wrong.

This is going to take forever.

Don't you have to work?

I called in sick. I felt like shit this morning.

I know, I should quit.

But old Mr. Belinski is so sweet to me.

He sent me flowers. Read the card.

"Get better, Véronique, and return back soon."

See what I mean?

He wants to make me a manager.

You're the only employee.

That's what I told him.

- He's a love. - In the meantime...

I got you this.

I'll fix it. The seam unraveled.

It's pretty.

- Thanks. - My pleasure.

- And you? - What?

How'd it go last night?

- It was alright. - Alright?

Alright.

I'm gonna stop asking what you're up to.

So?

He asked if we'd see each other again.

I had no idea.

Come on! It was obvious. He was glued to you all night.

OK, I get it.

I'm not interested.

We're on our own.

What is this? Can't you go somewhere else?

I missed you.

We won't disturb you. You won't know we're here.

Dad said no smoking and nobody in their room.

Whatever.

A cookie, anyone?

I'll have one.

Would the new guy like one?

- JF. Hi. - Hi.

Did you hear about Tommy?

- What, Tommy? - He's getting married.

Pardon?

To Maude Cloutier?

Where'd you hear that?

I thought you knew.

I don't believe it.

Tommy's wasted half the time.

- Maybe he's changed. - Not a chance.

What's gonna happen when he comes to?

And realizes that Maude's fuckin' crazy.

I can picture her obsessing over the table runners.

The what?

The table runners.

The things on the tables at a wedding.

- Table runners? - That's what they're called.

I don't believe it.

Get over it.

- OK? - Again!

Move the mic!

What do you wanna do?

I dunno.

Will that song be over soon'?

Snare!

He's better than the last guy.

- Who? - The new guy.

He's better than the old drummer.

I dunno.

My brother will drive him away too.

He's the second in under a year.

Pissing people off is his specialty.

I'll bet you five dollars he won't last a week.

For once I had the house to myself.

Almost.

I'll give it to you. How many's that?

I'm not sure.

- Put down eight. - Six is the max.

Then put down six.

That makes 52 for me. And 71 for you.

This used to be more fun.

- No, not Martin. - What?

His voice changed prematurely. He thinks he has a chance.

With you?

- Hi, Véronique. Hi, Nicole. - Hi, Martin.

What's up?

We're training for the Olympics.

You look tired, Nicole.

I'm not sleeping well.

It's 'cause you don't exercise.

You should try a sport. Jogging.

You'll sleep better.

Want to play a round?

Ask Véro. I'm not good enough.

- I could teach you. - That's OK.

Nicole? Mom says you won't babysit for me anymore.

I'm too old for that, Martin.

If it's the pay, I'll tell her.

No, it's not that.

We got along so well. We share so much.

You're wasting your time.

I'm too old for you.

The heart has no age.

In 10 years, it'll make no difference.

So we'll see then.

My voice is just the first step in a long transformation.

Many other big changes are coming.

I'm happy for you, Martin.

You can't deny love forever.

Nothing is more beautiful. Love...

Maybe another time?

Alright then, enjoy this great day.

Life... goes by fast.

I like your hair that way, Véronique.

Bye, Martin!

He is charming.

We could go to the drive-in.

Yeah.

What'?

It's just,

Ladybug's in the garage.

- Again? - Yeah, I know.

I told you not to name your car. You get all emotional.

What do you want? I can't just abandon her.

It's the last time, I promise.

- Where we going? - No idea, I'm following you.

And I've been following you.

Is this gonna be our summer?

Two chocolate-vanilla softies.

This is awesome.

Do I have to call you Madame Nicole?

Anyway, thank you, madame.

No worries. it's free.

What'?

Really, we can do whatever we want.

We can go anywhere.

OK. Ryksuga.
