:58:02
- When do you finish?
- Tomorrow, in theory
:58:06
Maxime said you were quite pleased
:58:08
I think so... I'm not sure any more
:58:12
Are you all right?
:58:17
Why are you avoiding me?
:58:20
I'm not avoiding you
:58:24
Was it something I said or did?
:58:28
Not at all; I've been very busy
:58:32
I thought you cared about my work
:58:38
Is it because of Maxime?
:58:43
You might have scruples
as he's your friend
:58:47
There's no friendship between us
:58:51
No friendship?
:58:55
We've been partners for years;
we complement each other
:59:00
It's to our mutual interest,
that's all
:59:03
He thinks of you as a friend
:59:07
I can't prevent that
:59:14
- I don't believe you
- Why?
:59:17
Because it's not something one admits
to. It's true. Are you shocked?
:59:24
No, saddened
:59:27
Misusing words is sad
:59:30
You devalue them, and everything else
:59:35
What are you protecting yourself from?
:59:37
I seem to be laying myself open
:59:40
You aren't like that; nobody is
:59:44
It's a pose
:59:48
Do you want me to invent reasons,
traumas?
:59:53
Unhappy childhood, sexual frustration,
career nipped in the bud?
:59:59
No, I don't see it
