:59:01
Your mother used to say
you and I should be friends.

:59:05
But a grown-up and a child
shouldn't be friends.

:59:08
I know that when I was little,
:59:11
I didn't like those grown-ups
who'd try to charm me

:59:14
or try to establish complicity with me.
:59:17
What's complicity?
:59:18
Complicity is being pals,
it's sharing secrets.

:59:22
When I was little,
I stole from stores a lot.

:59:25
You stole from stores?
:59:27
Or we'd attack the girls at school.
:59:30
But I didn't want to attack girls
:59:32
or steal from stores
with a grown-up.

:59:35
So, pretending to be your friend
would be another lie.

:59:39
You shouldn't have to decide
whether you like me or not.

:59:43
I don't care. I'm the grown-up.
:59:45
When I looked after you,
at times I'd annoy you

:59:48
but at others you'd adore me.
:59:50
I carry you in my heart now,
:59:52
even if you turn into a total bastard
:59:55
or I don't see you for 1279 years.
:59:57
I have to think about you
:59:59
because I enjoy doing it.
1:00:02
As a child, you don't have to think
about grown-ups or about me.

1:00:06
Unless you need to.
1:00:10
Nora has a new life, like a new house.
1:00:13
So, if we meet too often,
I'll be in the way.

1:00:17
Your mum says you don't get on too well
with Jean-Jacques?

1:00:25
You won't smoke, will you?
1:00:27
Yes, I'll be like you!
1:00:28
No, you'll be better than me.
1:00:31
Maybe you don't give a damn
what I think

1:00:34
but he doesn't seem so bad to me.
1:00:41
I can't replace your granddad.
1:00:43
Granddad is dead too.
1:00:45
I know.
1:00:48
You see, the past
isn't what has vanished.

1:00:51
No, it's what belongs to us.
1:00:54
I don't understand.
1:00:55
What belongs to us now
are the memories we both have.

1:00:59
It's weird, isn't it?
