Yes, it's ok.
Then tomorrow it's my turn.

Yes. See you !
Thank you !
See you Paul !
How much do I owe you ?
Eight, with the coffee.
Give me another one.
Yeah ! Yeah !
I owe a lot of money
while I don't want to buy the moon
You know what is it ?
I do not like my race
It's like if i got the DAS
The bed. Don't you find it's squeaking more than before ?
What time do you start tomorrow ?
I leave at 9 am.
Good night
Good night
It's Friday 13th today !
You didn't forget, the 3rd and last of the year !
Lucky charm for some or bad luck for others
Anyway without doubt, the day of all superstitions
In Tours, superstitious or not,
Olivier Bertrand, Pascal Cheny.
The "Residence du Lac" and its twin tower, the "belvedere",
the best in the 60's
can scare any paraskevidekatriaphobic
That is to say, people afraid of the 13
Because here, not only the 13th floord exists
Not like in these buildings where we move
from the 12th to the 14th floor
But moreover, at the 13th floor,
all apartments are inhabited
There some people who don't want to live at the 13th floor
they're afraid of the number
It is associated with misfortunes
When i push the 13 in the lift
sometimes people tell me : "Aren't you scared ?"
Are you ok ?
Yes, yes.
Are you alright Daddy ?
Yes, yes. Of course i'm fine.
You didn't go to work ?
No, but i'm working on Saturday.
And like every time they told me at the last moment.
You went shopping ?
Yes ! I told you yesterday !
You already forgot ?
No, no. Of course i remember.
By the way Daddy, i bought the light i wanted.
It's good.
What do you do this afternoon Peter?
I'll go to the town all to look for a work
Hey ! Anna, you went into my room !
No ! It's not true !
-Yes. See it's opened !
- Calm down ! Stop now, it's ok !
Darling, i go around.
For how long ?
One hour maximum
Ok
He's always provoking me !
It's annoying !
Hi !
Hello !
Hello !
Hello !
I always thought that suicide required courage
but also luck
We don't count missed suicides because of bad luck
Some of these desperates see by cowardice
a divine sign telling them the futility of their acting out
It won't be my case.
One of the few qualities people recognize in me, is my professionalism.
I always achieved all the works i undertook.
At work or in my private life.
As a child, for example, i always finished my plate.
Hey ! Emma ! Wait for me !
- Children ! Be careful it's dangerous here !
- My balloon !
If there wasn't my children, it would be a long time
i would have done it !
If there wasn't my children, it would be a long time
we would have done it !
Collective suicide.
We do it. But gently.
So that they do not realize it.
With remorse.
With memories above all.
From when we were children, ourself.
From when we were childish.
I'm dead
I'm dead
I'm dead
I never did sport
Because i don't like to loose
I started biking because i had cholesterol
The clothe, i had if for the Father's Day
Oh, i got used to it
Physical activity concerns people
who take care of themselves
People who wish to delay the fate
But, what is the point to delay a not interesting fate ?
When we get older,
it's a bit egoist to hang on to life like this, isn't ?
We don't offer anything anymore to the market economy
Instead of this, we pollute,
we occupy a housing, we struggle along.
But what...
It's curious, I feel like I've already been there
I remember these stones, this tree
I remember having thought at this moment
when i walked close to this tree, i thought to a childhood memory
Close to my parent's house, there was a tree with the same shape
And close to a stone there was a box in rubber
embedded in the earth
It was scaring me, because i was imaging thousand things about it
How can you face life when you're already afraid
of a box in rubber ?
Hello ! France Telecom assistance,
what can i do for you ?
Can i have your customer account number please ?
Can you confirm your name, surname and address please ?
Yes, Madam.
I confirm you have an internet access 24h/24 7d/7
It's unlimited. There's no problem.
I wish you a nice day from France Telecom assistance
Ok, goodbye Madam !
Can i do a break please ?
Hello ! France Telecom assistance, what can i do for you ?
Can i have your customer account number please ?
Listen to me Sir, it's not necessary to be insulting,
i'm trying to do my work
I'll see if i can get you a manager
I've liked my work
I nearly enjoyed going at work
For a guy like me it was nearly desperate
I never thought i would enjoy going at work
I got to the idea of a nice little life
like most of people
I got at last to put this in the skull
Peaceful in family, peaceful at work, peaceful in my head
It was ok for me like this
I even managed to like my colleagues
Me who didn't like friendship
I smiled at office jokes
In short, a miracle
And all of this collapsed
the "too full"
the "too empty"
The same shadow as when i was 10
When i was going to play football behind the church
Same frail shoulders,
same fragile thoracic cage
Same thick thighs
All these years, all these events, these people
To finish like them, alone under the sun ?
Weak, nothing, a bird
A walking bird
Or rather a homing pigeon
With a coded message
Hooked to the paw
That i never could decipher
Too complex
But it's here. Some girls maybe could have deciphered it.
My wife, at the beginning, my children, never
A homing pigeon which doesn't know how to fly
Walking, arriving after the battle
His message is old, too old
I'm thirsty
Sir ! You mustn't drink the water of the swimming pool.
It's not drinkable !
I don't care, i'm dead !
Finally peaceful !
No more accountability.
Obsolete
I'm 56 and i'm obsolete.
56 years. My grandfather's age when i was 7
Before we were an old man,
we were waiting for retirement
You were not asked to achieve goals
and exceed them
You were not asked to be always attractive,
to be dressed as a youngster
To be a manly man
To still fuck
To do sport
To eat balanced
To love his wife as on the first day
To be the best friend of his children
You were not asked to be creative
To have humor
And passions
You were lucky, old man !
You had the right to be only an old man
Me becoming like you, i became a poor guy
Obsolete
Thrown
How did it happen ? I don't know.
It happened step by step
In nowadays life, there aren't more young, strong and handsome people
than in your time ?
If you count there are even less
But TV became normality
Thus everyone became unhappy ?
Unhappy to be like one is ?
It's messed up
We are here now, old man
Maybe we'll see each other soon ?
It would be funny to see each other at the same age.
Two old men
When I married with you I was proud
I never really told you
but i didn't meet many women
Physical love did not count for me
Especially since after every enjoyment
I fell into a black hole
I always wanted to die after having fucked
Like many men i guess
Extreme weariness
On the other hand I always appreciated the company of women
The one who likes watching women never really gets bored
And i met you
Even if couple life never attracted me
Being single was beginning to weigh me
And I was sure that with you all my silences would be understood
I knew that life would be gentle
I never cheated on you
I lost my freedom but i won peace
You want to know why i left ?
It's simple
I feel like I've reached the end,
the end of the road
facing a wall,
to be a hamster in a wheel
I didn't know where i was going
The work harassed me
Our debts encircled us
Our daily life was softening us, our friends tired us
Our meals became bland
Our holidays saddened us
Our leisure time bored us
Our children left us outmoded
Finally, there it is
I reached the end of my way
Without hope
Without animosity
Without regret
Children, Dad is gone
For you it's an amazing luck
You will no longer see dad in front of the TV
You will no longer see dad looking sad
because he has no more cigarette
You will no longer see dad drunk
Having the elbow ripping on the table
You will no longer see dad smelling his socks
You will no longer see dad falling asleep
in the middle of the day
Or getting excited because of the time change
You will no longer see dad avoiding confrontation
You will no longer see dad going away at the homework time
You will no longer see dad turning off the light
You will no longer see dad locking himself
in the toilets to be peaceful
You will no longer see dad going biking to escape
I couldn't bear to fear your future
I couldn't bear my weakness
I couldn't bear your indifference
I couldn't bear myself
Don't be afraid
A dead father is much better than a father without life
What can happen in the world at this moment ?
I absolutely don't care
Welcome home !
There's something important i forgot to tell you
I surfed on pornographic sites when you were at the hospital for your fibroma
Forgive me
The first drawings all represent animals
In order to scare children i guess ?
And moreover to teach them how to kill them
Wonderful drawings
Because they observed these animals with fear and respect
4000 years later i don't know how to make fire,
even how to draw a beef
And i even don't know how looks my predator,
the lung cancer
What explains that I get hard ?
From Playboy to Youporn nothing changed,
Neither she nor me
It is vertiginous as automatism
Even a branch makes me hard
Beautiful black diver
Life must be intoxicating !
Life must be intoxicating !
Saying that the earthmen walked on this stone
It's crazy !
With huge overalls
To hold out in this hostile environment
And if our record was this ?
A huge overhall one gave us to survive on earth ?
Something heavy, encumbering us,
and letting us survive
One sent me from the country of dreams to walk on earth
Paul, you definitely talk too much
And you don't suicide enough
Hello Sir,
Would you like to play a game of small runners ?
You went out, there
Limit
My turn
The end is close. It's here.
Yes, it's here
Ah ! You won, bravo.
- So, you enjoyed ?
- Yes, it wasn't bad. The ground was quite tough.
- It's the first time you play to the bikers ?
- Yes
Oh, me i sometimes play to the bikers
- We'll do another one
- Yes, yes !
- Are you here everyday ?
- Yes
Me too, i'm here
On the afternoon, i walk here.
It's beautiful, isn't it ?
No, not really
You don't find ? We feel good here, isn't it ?
No, not really
- Peaceful ?
- Yes, very
- It's freedom, isn't it ?
If you wish
Let's play to the goatee !
We play one more time ?
I don't know !
It's at this moment i went wrong
I always took everything too seriously
I forgot to play, suffered the others
While it was perhaps enough to take this life for what it is?
A part of balls between two voids
Hello Paul !
Who is it ?
A friend
Are you pretty ?
Aren't you the virgin Mary,
or this kind of divinity ?
You believe you're dead, isn't ?
Hum, yes. It's good
No Paul, it's not the moment already
You know, it's not so easy to die
Well, i know. It's been two days i can't achieve it
And then !
One can believe you're not ready
I see too much love in you
Love in me ?
You don't love yourself so you can't see it
But me i see it
And i only see it
Who are you ?
One calls me "endorphin"
"Endorphin" ?
I hate my hesitations you know ?
Always struggling to make decisions
Choosing makes me sick
I have a clear opinion about it
For me it's always the last one to talk who's right
Here's ok, i'm alone
It's me who talks last
But as i never know if i'm right, i stay confused
I'm confused
Completely confused
Tragically confused
I don't feel good, you know ?
At last, i get a little better
I believe
Nature is finally not interesting
When we're there alone, we don't stop thinking
of the moment when we're not there
We carry our memory of the city
And when we are in group, there is no benefit,
like in all groups
But since the beginning of my stay here, i still felt some benefits
The relative purity of the air, the soothing silence
But soon I felt the deficiencies of this environment
Modern man simply needs comfort
He didn't strived to invent since a long time
so many things, for not using them
The bed, not for sleepingon the floor
Running water to avoid going to the well
The central heating so as not to be cold, the supermarket to no longer cultivate oneself
The car, not for walking anymore
Finally, all these discoveries which no longer oblige the human being
to live like me at this moment
I confess my mistake,
my mistakes
Yes, it's stupid. If i don't like people,
i like the noise they make
And to stay on earth, it may as well be in good conditions
I have to say i have always been very rigorous
and even autocratic at the bottom of my sofa
To be well seated is essential to me
That's why i never go to theater for example
It is simple I can not stand the hardness of the stones
of this region anymore
I can no longer stand the sharpness of nature
My body claims leather fleece
And you, Sun ? Of course you find yourself beautiful
Go to sleep !
I feel like Ayrton Senna at the beginning of Imola,
on the 1st May 1994
I remember, i was watching the Grand Prize with an absent-minded eye
I was drinking a 1664
He was livid
He knew
The day before a pilot had died during the tests
It was too late to leave the race
The fate was underway
The world was accomplice
Are you ok, Sir ?
Are you ok ?
Are you sure ?
You want me to take you somewhere ?
Where are you going like this ?
It's the whole problem
If i take you to the next village,
it will be ok for you ?
Is the bouquet for your lover ?
It's nice to be in love
I mean at your age
What is your sign ?
I admit you tricked me !
Will you stay with me "endorphin" ?
Yes, but not for a long time
Not more than some minutes
What a pity, the flowers were for you
Oh, you !
You're really kind
I'll remember you Paul
Fly far away from these morbid miasma
Go purify yourself in the upper air
And drink like a pure and divine liqueur,
the clear fire that fills the limpid spaces
Behind the troubles and the vast sorrows which load
the foggy existence with their weight
Happy the one who can with a vigorous wing,
soar towards the luminous and serene fields
The one whose thoughts as the larks,
in the skies in the morning, take a free flight,
who hangs over life, and easily understands
the language of flowers and dumb things.

How much do I owe you ?
Eight, with the coffee.
Give me another one.
Yeah ! Yeah !
I owe a lot of money
while I don't want to buy the moon
You know what is it ?
I do not like my race
It's like if i got the DAS
The bed. Don't you find it's squeaking more than before ?
What time do you start tomorrow ?
I leave at 9 am.
Good night
Good night
It's Friday 13th today !
You didn't forget, the 3rd and last of the year !
Lucky charm for some or bad luck for others

Finally, all these discoveries which no longer oblige the human being
to live like me at this moment
I confess my mistake,
my mistakes
Yes, it's stupid. If i don't like people,
i like the noise they make
And to stay on earth, it may as well be in good conditions
I have to say i have always been very rigorous
and even autocratic at the bottom of my sofa
To be well seated is essential to me
That's why i never go to theater for example
It is simple I can not stand the hardness of the stones
of this region anymore
I can no longer stand the sharpness of nature
My body claims leather fleece
And you, Sun ? Of course you find yourself beautiful
Go to sleep !
I feel like Ayrton Senna at the beginning of Imola,
on the 1st May 1994
I remember, i was watching the Grand Prize with an absent-minded eye
I was drinking a 1664
He was livid
He knew
The day before a pilot had died during the tests
It was too late to leave the race
The fate was underway
The world was accomplice
Are you ok, Sir ?
Are you ok ?
Are you sure ?
You want me to take you somewhere ?
Where are you going like this ?
It's the whole problem
If i take you to the next village,
it will be ok for you ?
Is the bouquet for your lover ?
It's nice to be in love
I mean at your age
What is your sign ?
I admit you tricked me !
Will you stay with me "endorphin" ?
Yes, but not for a long time
Not more than some minutes
What a pity, the flowers were for you
Oh, you !
You're really kind
I'll remember you Paul
Fly far away from these morbid miasma
Go purify yourself in the upper air
And drink like a pure and divine liqueur,
the clear fire that fills the limpid spaces
Behind the troubles and the vast sorrows which load
the foggy existence with their weight
Happy the one who can with a vigorous wing,
soar towards the luminous and serene fields
The one whose thoughts as the larks,
in the skies in the morning, take a free flight,
who hangs over life, and easily understands
the language of flowers and dumb things.
