Episode 178 scene 1 Thomas: Oh, Dad. I know. I'm late. I'm coming.
Roland: Oh no. Don't hurry. As I didn't see you come, I just wanted to know if everything went well.
Thomas: Oh. Look what I received this morning. It's a letter of Elodie, daughter of Florian.
Roland: AH and what did she tell you?
Thomas: Apparently it's not going strong. She says her father would abandon her, he wouldn't take the trouble to answer his phone calls.
Roland: It's not the kind of Florian. He loves his daughter.
Thomas: I know but given the current circumstances, he must want to talk to him.
Roland: And you think he told her to your separation?
Thomas: Apparently not. In fact, the problem is that she wants to come to the February vacation.
Roland: It's not far off, it.
Thomas: In 10 days. She asks me to hold her
supposedly that his father wouldn't have time.
Roland: What you gonna say?
Thomas: Me? Nothing. I'll ask Florian solve the problem. That's it.
Roland: Don't be too hard on him. It's complicated right now. It's hard to manage everything.
Thomas: Well yes but it's not to me to tell him. It's not my daughter.
Roland: He's afraid of him hurting. She was attached to you, that kid.
Thomas: But me too I was attached to her. It'll make me weird not to see her but what you want, it's like that. Florian must assume. We're no longer a couple.
Roland: I know I don't have to tell you this but I don't like to see you fight them both. That's it. Go. See you soon.
Thomas: See you soon.
scene 2 Florian: I got your message.
Thomas: Go home, two minutes.
Florian: Are you sick?
Thomas: I'm sick to the skull. Look what I received this morning. A letter of Elodie.
Florian: What she say?
Thomas: She wants to come to the February vacation. You don't have it said her for us.
Florian: I haven't had the courage to tell her and at the phone is always complicated.
Thomas: You must tell her. It's not good to hide her the truth.
Florian: I know but I'm afraid of her hurting. She loves you very much.
Thomas: Well when she comes, we will cross. That's it.
Florian: It will be different.
Thomas: I guess you didn't say to your ex wife either?
Florian: No, it's the last person I wanted to tell it.
Thomas: Listen, you do well you like but it's wrong to lie to Elodie. If I have her at the phone, I'm gonna have to tell her the truth when it's your turn to tell her.
Florian: I'll call her.
Thomas: Thanks for stopping by.
Florian: You know, I know very well why I didn't tell her anything. It's because I was hoping it would work out between us.
scene 3 Florian: Enter. Mirta?
Mirta: Hello Florian. I don't mind?
Florian: AH not. I'm just surprised to see you there. There is a problem?
Mirta: Oh no. There is no problem. Don't worry. I believe that we had it enough lately.
Florian: Indeed, yes.
Mirta: No, actually, I came to invite you to spend the mistral in the late afternoon. We make a little party to celebrate the anniversary of Roland.
Florian: It's nice to offer me but I don't think it's a good idea for me to come.
Mirta: it would be our pleasure to Roland and me.
Florian: To you maybe but for Thomas, a little less, I'm afraid.
Mirta: Look, I told him about it. It does him no problem.
Florian: Are you sure?
Mirta: Yes yes. He said that since we felt like it with Roland, it suited him.
Florian: I still think it's better if I don't come.
Mirta: Roland will be disappointed. And then you don't have to speak with Thomas. There will be other guests.
Florian: Thanks for the invitation. I'll think about it.
Mirta: I hope to tonight.
Florian: Maybe.
scene 4 Luna: AH well, I don't mind?
Thomas: I'm in the hurry. I have to get the daddy's gift. You come to the party tonight?
Luna: Yes, exactly, I wanted to talk about that. There is one little problem.
Thomas: What?
Luna: My mother invited Florian.
Thomas: Why she did this?
Luna: because she think it's a pity you are angry and she wants you resume normal relations.
Thomas: It's stronger than she. Always she meddles in the lives of others.
Luna: It's funny but it didn't seem to annoy you. You don't care that he is here?
Thomas: He won't come. See you later.
scene 5 Luna: Roland, Tchin and happy birthday.
Roland: I'm glad to see you all there. Go ahead. Come in. Come in. That's it. And thank you for having me as spoiled.
Luna: Waiting to open the gift. It may be that it doesn't please you.
Roland: Why it wouldn't please me? I suppose you wanted to please me, right?
Thomas: That's why we bought you an encyclopedia in seven volumes.
Roland: Oh she's gorgeous. Thank you. Really thank you very much. Hello Florian.
Florian: Happy Birthday Roland.
Roland: Thank you. It's nice being here.
Florian: Hello Thomas.
Thomas: I thought you would have the delicacy not to come.
Florian: I'm sorry. I understood that ...
Mirta: No but it's my fault. It was I who told Florian that it would be no problem.
Thomas: Well you were wrong.
Mirta: We can still have a drink together to Roland.
Thomas: While things clear once and for all and for everyone. Florian has behaved like a jerk with me. He lied to me, he betrayed me, he used me to achieve his ends and I have no desire to forgive him.
Luna: Thomas, you're a little bit violent anyway.
Thomas: Maybe, but I didn't want this to happen again. Florian and me it's over. So if I didn't want to see or pass him ( to meet him) into it's still my right. So stop trying to pick up the pieces, it's clear? Forgiveness.
Roland: (6: 02 to 6: 03)
Florian: Me too but he's right. You will need to go talk to him. Don't leave it alone in that state.
scene 6 Florian: sorry, I wasted the party.
Mirta: But no. That's my fault. I would never have told you that Thomas agreed. I have done anything.
Florian: it started from a good intention.
Mirta: Beh yes. It's that I love you both. So I didn't want to see you go to war.
Florian: I'm sorry. Allo. Okay. I'm coming. I have a business problem. I must go. Mirta: See you soon.
Florian: Maybe.
Luna: Another great sprawl.
Mirta: How so?
Luna: I told you this morning that it was an stupid idea. You should have called Florian to tell him not to come, we wouldn't be there.
Mirta: You don't need to be rude. And you're not obliged to make the moral.
Luna: Oh yes. You deserve it because you still screwed up Roland's birthday on the floor.
Mirta: Listen, they will talk and everything is arranged.
Luna: I think you're very optimistic.
Mirta: You'll see. In 10 minutes, maybe less, they will be there, I will apologize and the incident will be closed.
Luna: I don't bet 10 euros on it.
Scene 7Roland: Don't blame Mirta. She meant well.
Thomas: She always wants to do well. That's what's annoying.
Roland: Well yes. It's true. But she she would so like that it turn out fine between you and Florian. And to be honest, me too. I'd love.
Thomas: I'm sorry Dad. You'll have to settle for a gift a little more realistic for your birthday.
Roland: I understood.
Thomas: I know you worry for me, you're worried. You would prefer me to be a couple to complete the ordeal.
Roland: When I see you leave that night and I know you are here alone, I'm hurt. I can't help thinking that, alone, can do something stupid.
Thomas: If it's any comfort you, I didn't want to get fuck up me. I'm sorry for ruining your party.
Roland: Come on, forget it. Okay.
Thomas I was unjust. I wouldn't have been as violent.
Roland: It's normal that you get boiled over.
Thomas: No, it's not normal. I'm no longer as before. I've become hateful and selfish. Neither you and Florian had to endure this kind of scene.
Roland: When you feel better, you will return as before.
Thomas: Dad, when is that my life will find meaning?
Roland: It will happens without you even realize. One morning you wake up like that, and everything will seem simple again. You will wonder how you've even been able to find things so complicated before.
Thomas: Well I'm going to apologize.
Roland: I suggest you better. We start by stealth and we will drink champagne both in another bar (bistro) between men.
Thomas: Are you serious here?
Roland: Of course. I let you choose the same bar (bistro).
Thomas: And Mirta, we will dump her like that?
Roland: Well that will teach him. Good going. Here we go. Well, we go through the steps to the back of the place for not that one see us.
