:44:00
Anything you say, boss.
:44:04
Gene?
Huh?
:44:06
I am sorry.
Oh, forget it.
:44:17
Seven. Oh, Mrs. Appley,
what a beautiful family.
:44:21
I told your father weeks ago, when
Mrs. Appley came home from the park...
:44:25
with that faraway look in her eye,
that our family was expanding.
:44:28
He just pooh-poohed me, but I know
when one of my own sex has known love...
:44:33
or trouble.
:44:36
I need help, Maman.
Make me a clever woman.
:44:39
You told me once that it takes a
clever woman to make a good marriage,
:44:43
and I want a good marriage.
:44:46
Help me, Maman.
:44:49
There, chouchou.
:44:51
Now, hadn't we better talk
about Tina and Eugene?
:44:55
Oh-Oh, it's not Tina, not really.
I know that.
:44:58
Eugene is preoccupied with her,
but it's more his work than Tina.
:45:02
I think.
:45:04
He's always complaining
that I find too much for him to do.
:45:06
I... I have to drag him
to go shopping with me.
:45:09
Oh, Maman, in short,
the honeymoon is over.
:45:12
I think Eugene and I
would have been much happier...
:45:15
if I'd become his mistress
instead of his wife.
:45:18
Possibly. You, however, Chantal, are
not emotionally suited to be a mistress.
:45:23
So you'd better make the best
of being a wife.
:45:26
Stop treating Eugene like a husband.
:45:28
That's why he's acting like one.
:45:30
Stop treating my husband
like a husband?
:45:33
Chouchou, I have a secret for a
truly happy marriage. You have?
:45:38
Oh, did I hear your father come in?
:45:42
No. I didn't hear anything.
Please, Maman, go on.
:45:45
I warn you, this is not easy
to accept at first.
:45:47
You will laugh at me.
:45:49
No. You, it will probably shock.
Maman, tell me.
:45:53
I must admit that the idea
seems rather bizarre.
:45:57
However, this little book can
help you create a marital paradise.
