Le bonheur

Fran?ois Chevalier:
Do you think Mom's dress is beautiful?

Pierrot Chevalier:
Beautiful like Mom.

Th?r?se Chevalier:
The countryside is beautiful.

Fran?ois Chevalier:
I wonder what I like more: The smell of the trees, the grass or the river.

Fran?ois Chevalier:
Imagine a wedding in a mausoleum.

Th?r?se Chevalier:
You're silly.

Th?r?se Chevalier:
Annie can come watch the kids around 8:30. We could make the 9:00 show. I'd love it.

Fran?ois Chevalier:
If it's a Western, fine.

Th?r?se Chevalier:
No horses in this one.

Fran?ois Chevalier:
A French film, then.

Th?r?se Chevalier:
Yes, with Brigitte Bardot and Jeanne Moreau for the first time together. Which one do you prefer? Which woman?

Fran?ois Chevalier:
Which woman? You.

?milie Savignard:
Does you wife make honey?

Fran?ois Chevalier:
You could say that. She's nice and cooks well.

Fran?ois Chevalier:
[to Th?r?se, his wife] If you're mad, I'll spank you.

?milie Savignard:
I love you too. I feel happy. Be happy too, don't worry. I'm free, happy, and you're not the first. Love me.

Fran?ois Chevalier:
Such happiness!

?milie Savignard:
Are you happy at home too?

Fran?ois Chevalier:
Very happy.

?milie Savignard:
Your wife is not a habit?

Fran?ois Chevalier:
No. I love her very much. We get along, we have fun. And there are the kids. Surprises every day.

?milie Savignard:
And me?

Fran?ois Chevalier:
I met you and I love you.

Fran?ois Chevalier:
Were you sad?

?milie Savignard:
Not that much. I don't like sadness.

?milie Savignard:
Now I'm here. I'm myself, I mean.

Fran?ois Chevalier:
I like that about you. And it's the same for me. I can't say I'm different since I met you. On the contrary, I'm even more myself.

Fran?ois Chevalier:
You know, I met my wife when I was in the service. It was love at first sight. We married when I got out. Had I met you first, I'd live with you.

Fran?ois Chevalier:
Sleeping together is fine when you're in love.

?milie Savignard:
Tell me one thing - are she and I the same to you?

Fran?ois Chevalier:
No, very different. You make love better, you have fun. It's like a new wine for me. My head is spinning and your pleasure is in my heart. Like with Th?r?se. She likes making love too - but she's calmer. I'm the one who leads the game. She likes me to have fun with her. She's tender - always there - and our kids look like her. You see, I'm being honest.

?milie Savignard:
Yes.

Fran?ois Chevalier:
You taught me another game, we're more alike. Th?r?se is like a hardy plant. You're like an animal set free. I love nature.

Fran?ois Chevalier:
You and I and the kids, we're like an apple orchard, a square field. Then I notice an apple tree that grows outside the field and blooms with us. More flowers, more apples. It adds up, you know.

Th?r?se Chevalier:
How long have I not been alone with you?

Fran?ois Chevalier:
I love you. Look at me. I love you. It's like if I had ten arms to hug you and you had ten arms for me. We're all mixed together. But I found myself with extra arms. I'm taking nothing from you, see?
