Episode 179 scene 1 Celine: it was a little hard at first but it gets better.
Thomas: Are you sure?
Celine: I promise.
Thomas: I'm sorry to ditch you after you have said yes but for me it was going a bit too fast and it seemed a bit complicated.
Céline: And you were scared that we deprives you of that child.
Thomas: No, not at all. It's just that I didn't feel ready to assume. You know me, I need a little time and I knew that you were pressed.
Celine: It's true that I really wanted.
Thomas: Well, sorry for giving you false hopes.
Céline: Oh no, it doesn't matter. Anyway, we found another solution.
Thomas: Already? I know him?
Celine: No. We're going to use an anonymous donor on the internet. There are forums in Belgium and Holland. They organize meetings.
Thomas: I didn't know it existed. And what happens? You meet the guy and he gives his sperm?
Céline: Yes, or it happens in the laboratory, he comes before us. We don't even have to meet him.
Thomas: Tell me, I don't think you would have so easily replaced me.
Celine: Do you mind?
Thomas: No, not at all. Instead it relieves me. I'm glad you found someone quickly.
Céline: Well, now we have to find the right one. After we starts. Thank you for coffee. I must go. I have to work.
Thomas: Yeah. Want. Madame.
Celine: Thank you. See you soon.
Thomas: See you soon. Thank you.
Scene 2Melanie: that's three times that you've read this card. Who is it?
Thomas: It's the daughter of Florian. He went to see her a few days in Perpignan.
Melanie: She's cute that kid. She tells you what?
Thomas: Hello Thomas. I think very highly of you. I think Dad too. We miss you much.
Melanie: So she knows it's over, you and Florian?
Thomas: Yes. Anyway, he had no choice. It had dragged too. I guess it must have been difficult for her.
Melanie: Apparently, from what she writes, it's hard for both. You think Florian is still in love with you?
Thomas: I don't know. In any case, he has his daughter while I'm all alone like an idiot. In more, I lost the opportunity of being a father.
Melanie: Do you regret having said no to Celine?
Thomas: No, but it was complicated. And I don't feel ready.
Melanie: Yes, but I was like you with Malik. I always said that this wasn't the right time.
Melanie: And now you regret?
Melanie: Sometimes I say that if he could do it again, well I definitely barreling.
Thomas: Anyway I won't even change opinion yet once again. Celine and Virginia will blow up a cable.
Melanie: On the contrary, if you accept, they will be happy.
Thomas: It's too late. They have already sought a new donor on the internet.
Melanie: But they prefer to do it with you rather than with a stranger.
Thomas: I don't feel ready, Melanie. I give up.
Roland: If you thinking before you have children, we would never do. You thought I was how, when Mireille was pregnant of François? Well I was leading not wide, just like everyone else. It is staggering to be a father. That's it. For cons, I can swear that even in the worst moments of disputes with François, I have never regretted.
Thomas: I'm sure you say that because you still want to be a grandfather.
Roland: A little, yes. But I think especially of you. I don't want you regret for letting this opportunity.
Thomas: No, but it's not the time. It's too early. I don't feel ready. We will see later.
scene 3 Céline: And in more, we working with him. I will be brought to him again and it will be horror.
Virginia: Don't panic. We will find someone else.
Celine: It was almost with Thomas.
Virginia: yes but it doesn't work and we turn the page and we go forward. Okay?
Celine: Okay. Yes?
Thomas: I don't bother you?
Celine: No. Enter.
Thomas: YOU feel better?
Céline: Yes. I'm sorry for just now.
Thomas: Oh that's okay. I've been thinking. If I expected to be ready to have a child, I would never do. AND if you still want me as a father, I agree.
Céline: Really?
Thomas: Yes. I shall not return on my decision.
Virginia: You won't change your mind?
Thomas: I did the blood tests. I have the results tomorrow.
scene 4 Thomas: Is it ok?
Roland. Yes. Good and you?
Thomas: Middle. Today I go to Celine and Virginie for the insemination.
Roland: Oh it's today? I didn't know. Hey, apparently it anguish you.
Thomas: I ask me questions, yes.
Roland: It's if you don't ask that it would worry me.
Thomas: It's a bit special like situation, right?
Roland: That's not that that it's not good.
Thomas: You've spoken with Mirta? She's not completely agree with you, you see.
Roland: Mirta is Mirta. Between what she thinks and what she does, there is of the margin. That he's here, this child, and later she will be happy to play the grandmother, thou shalt see.
Thomas: we're quarrelled, yesterday.
Roland: I know. She told me so.
Thomas: I threw her and at the same time, I can't stop thinking about what she told me. The balance of the child, he will live on in school when the others discover that his parents are gay. Finally, all that.
Roland: You know, I'll tell you something. When I was little at school, I had to be in first grade, a fool told me that my father was an alcoholic.
Thomas: Because of the bar (bistro)?
Roland: Yes. So it went around the classroom and after they called me the son of the alcoholic. I fought dozens of times for it and one day I stopped because I told myself that my true friends it was those who don't speak.
Thomas: Except that this child, his parents are really gay.
Roland: What I mean is that in life you will always find an idiot to hurt you and if he has no excuse, he will invent one. That growing up is go over it. That's it. And you child, he will grow like the others.
Thomas: I'm not so sure.
Roland: Me, yes.
Scene 5 Céline: So there, you have a sterile cup with liquid antiseptic and in there, you ...
Virginie: It's her idea.
Céline: Yeah, well I don't know if you need it. It's a Man Magazine. I want to say with men.
Thomas: I fend by myself. I go where?
Celine: In the bathroom.
scene 6 Virginie: It's weird. We hear nothing.
Celine: What do you wanna hear?
Virginie: I don't know.
Celine: it went well?
Thomas: I can't. I can't do it. To know that you are in the next room, it blocks me.
Virginie: You wanna that we go for a ride?
Thomas: It's not worth it.
Celine: You don't want to do?
Thomas: Yes, but at my home. It will be easier.
Celine: AND how it's done? You come back here after?
Virginie: I can follow him with the scooter and like that, I bring back the cup.
Celine: I'll get a box. It's easier to transport.
scene 7 Thomas: Mission accomplished.
Virginie: Okay, well now it's up to us. You have properly closed the small cup?
Thomas: Yes.
Virginie: Okay thanks Thomas.
Thomas: You call me to tell me that everything went well.
Virginie: Well, I go because Celine waiting for me.
Mirta: Oh shit.
Thomas: Did you do it on purpose?
Mirta: What?
Thomas: From the beginning you are against this baby.
Virginie: Don't get worked up. She wasn't supposed to know.
Mirta: Supposed to know what? What is happening?
Thomas: In this box there was the necessary equipment for artificial insemination.
Mirta: Oh, I'm sorry but on the other hand, it may be a sign.
Thomas: You know what, Mirta? Go home or it will end badly.
scene 8 Thomas: Go. I was going out.
Florian: I returned last night. I went just to take from you.
Thomas: As you see, all is well. Your holiday went well?
Florian: Very well. Elodie has changed. She have become a girl.
Thomas: I received her card. It really touched me she thinks of me.
Florian: You remained his idol, I confirm.
Thomas: I haven't yet responded but promised, I will.
Florian: Me too, I have thought of you during this holiday. Many ...
Thomas: You must excuse me but now I really can't talk to you. I must go.
Florian: Ok, I understand.
Thomas: AH no no no. I have something urgent to do and it's important. There is nothing to understand.
Virginie: Thomas. But what are you doing? It's one hour that we waits you.
Thomas: Well it has took a little longer than expected.
Virginie: Well, let's go because Celine is being impatient and she fears that you change your mind again. You want me to take?
Thomas: No, no. It's good. I'll manage. Listen, I call you and we take a coffee, ok?
Florian: Okay. See you later. Goodbye.
Virginie: Goodbye. Sorry. I hope I did not make a gaffe.
Thomas: No, forget it. We go because we have wasted enough time.
Virginie: Okay.
scene 9 Virginie: Okay, well I wouldn't break the mood but I think we should we go into the second phase. You feel ready?
Celine: Of course.
Virginie: Here we go then.
Thomas: Okay, well I think that's where my role stops.
Celine: At the moment, but thank you Thomas. Thank you.
Virginie: Well, I take you back.
Thomas: You know what would be right, girls? It would I go buy champagne to toast that all three.
Virginie: I don't think it's a good idea.
Celine: That is to say that I must remain lying down.
Thomas: I understand. It more, it may be a time you want to share both.
Céline: We're gonna party as soon as you know if the insemination worked.
Thomas: Well, I'll go. It's not worth me home. I know the way.
Scene 10Thomas: Oh, you could set you free. I'm sorry for this morning. I was a little speed.
Florian: I noticed, yes. Celine's girlfriend didn't look very serene either.
Thomas: You had to ask you what happened?
Florian: it doesn't concern me.
Thomas: As much as you may learn by me and not by the rumour. Celine and me, we decided to have a child through insemination craft.
Florian: This is serious or is it just a project?
Thomas: Let's say it was well realized. That's why we were speed this morning. In the cooler bag, there was a cup ...
Florian: It's good. I understood. Long ago you made this decision?
Thomas: Well, it happened pretty quickly but it comes from afar. I always dreamed of having a child.
Florian: Yes, but there it is no longer a dream. You have thought of the consequences, that it implies for this child to be raised to three and under these conditions?
Thomas: No of course not. I'm just a little classic gay that never went through the straight case (he's not a straight man who is become gay). It's a little pleasure, a whim that I do.
Florian: I'm sorry. It's not what I mean but the co-parenting is difficult enough in a couple. So there ...
Thomas: Anyway, We're not there. And then I settled everything with Celine and Virginie. I will the father of this child and not just the genitor. I know them. They are legit.
Florian: At first, everything is simple but later, when the children grow, it's the joint exercise of parental authority it can get very confrontational. Believe me, I know something.
Thomas: Anyway, it is not there yet this kid.
Florian: Yeah, but after who will decide his schooling, for example? If they decide to live at the other end of France or even abroad, you will do what, you?
Thomas: That's an issue of judge, that.
Florian: And it's often the judge that one call when the roles are not well established at the outset.
Thomas: Anyway, we still have nine months to see coming. What do you want to drink?
Florian: And they told you the name that would bring the child?
Thomas: No, but anyway it's me who will recognize him.
Florian: It may still bear the name of his mother. It's important for you to know what they decided. It will give you an idea of the place they will never grant you if that child is born.
scene 11 Virginie: I wish this dream would never end. And shit. I go there. Yes.
Thomas: I hope I don't mind? So, how do you feel?
Celine: In great shape.
Thomas: I'm allowed to bring in fresh champagne. I wanted to share a moment with you.
Celine: AND you did well because I dying for a glass.
Thomas: I was thinking about something this morning. If we ever had this child, what name he was going?
Céline: Well Marci Fremont. Or if you prefer Marci Fremont.
Thomas: I wasn't worried. I suspected anyway ...
Virginie: That would be called his mother and father. This is normal.
Céline: And it's you who will choose the first name. Well now that is all three assured. You have dinner with us Thomas?
Thomas: I won't bother you. In fact, yes, because I didn't want to be alone tonight. Go champagne.
scene 12 Florian: I don't bother you?
Thomas: No, enter. I'm doing the vacuum cleaning. I will give a lot of clothes to Emmaus (association charity). It will make room in the closet.
Florian: That way you'll be able to buy new ones.
Thomas: I hope not. I was tired of overconsumption.
Florian: I'm soyy for the other day. I was a little alarmist about your future fatherhood.
Thomas: It don't necessary. I guess it was for a good cause, right?
Florian: I don't want you've nasty surprises.
Thomas: After your visit the other day, I really thought. I spoke with Celine. The child will bear our names. You see, they are legit.
Florian: I don't question their honesty. I speak just a legal point of view, juridic.
Thomas: Professional Distortion, right?
Florian: Maybe yes. But it's important that you set your respective places in the education of this child
Thomas: Yes, but I won't ask that Celine signs to me a paper.
Florian: You could establish a legal contract.
Thomas: Really?
Florian: I'm sure Céline would agree.
Thomas: Yes. Anyway, We're getting carried away (We're going too speed). Not sure she's pregnant.
Florian: It's just a proposal. It does not commit you in any way to think.
