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?
1:01:01
Because there's no name
for what we share.

1:01:05
I looked after you for seven years.
1:01:07
A long time.
1:01:11
But it's over.
1:01:14
I'll tell you what bothers me.
1:01:16
Firstly, you're an introverted little boy.
Secretive, say.

1:01:21
But that's not a failing,
it's a quality.

1:01:23
As a boy, I couldn't manage to speak
1:01:26
so I used to stammer.
1:01:28
- Is that true?
- Yes, it is.

1:01:30
As for you,
you're just a little reserved.

1:01:33
In return,
life has given you a rich soul.

1:01:35
That way, when you feel lonely,
1:01:37
you can retreat to your inner garden
1:01:40
to chat with your imagination.
1:01:42
I remember your poems in primary school
and you're a true poet.

1:01:47
But I can imagine
it's not always pleasant for you.

1:01:51
A secret treasure is a good thing
but it mustn't become a burden.

1:01:56
If it does, I see you
locked up in your thoughts,

1:01:59
that hurts me and I want to free you.
