Hanna Fabre:
Ludo, you're seven. You're too old to keep dressing like a girl.
Élisabeth:
Does he do it often?
Pierre Fabre:
Every so often.
Hanna Fabre:
We search for our identity until we are seven. I read it in "Marie Claire."
Teacher:
I see Pam and Ben are very popular. But Ludo, you want to be like Ben, right?
Ludovic Fabre:
You dropped something.
Jérôme:
So did you.
Ludovic Fabre:
Keep it. My mom thinks she lost it.
Sophie:
Jerome, come and play with me!
Jérôme:
I'm busy.
Élisabeth:
Is that your dad's boss's son you are playing with?
Ludovic Fabre:
Yes.
Élisabeth:
You two are pals?
Ludovic Fabre:
Yes. We're going to get married once I'm not a boy.
Élisabeth:
Once you're not a boy.
Élisabeth:
I still I were still as slim as her. But in that dress at my age, I would look awful.
Ludovic Fabre:
No, you wouldn't. You would be beautiful.
Élisabeth:
Thank you. But we all have to face reality.
Élisabeth:
Your parents want what's best for you.
Ludovic Fabre:
They don't know what's best for me.
Hanna Fabre:
Ludo, have I ever broken a promise?
Ludovic Fabre:
No.
Hanna Fabre:
All right. Then sit still. Ludo, don't you want to be like your brothers and your father?
Ludovic Fabre:
No.
Hanna Fabre:
I like long hair. And people who know what they want.
Hanna Fabre:
Boys cannot marry other boys.
Ludovic Fabre:
I know that.
Jérôme:
And this is our bathroom, and this is my bedroom.
Ludovic Fabre:
What's in there?
Jérôme:
It's out-of-bounds.
Ludovic Fabre:
But what's in there?
Jérôme:
My sister's bedroom.
Ludovic Fabre:
Where is she?
Jérôme:
She's gone away.
Ludovic Fabre:
One day I'll marry Jerome!
Hanna Fabre:
I told you, boys never marry boys! Or very rarely.
Ludovic Fabre:
But I'll be a girl.
Hanna Fabre:
You are a boy and you always will be!
Pierre Fabre:
Couldn't we cut his hair?
Hanna Fabre:
Yes. We could also crucify him.
Pierre Fabre:
Jerome is Albert's son, and Albert is Daddy's boss, so I don't want you dressing like a girl with Jerome or anyone.
Jérôme:
Can I have another seat?
Teacher:
May I ask why?
Jérôme:
If I sit next to Ludo, I'll go to hell.
Pierre Fabre:
We've decided to take Ludo to a psychologist. That will fix him.
Hanna Fabre:
We love our little boy. We want him to be happy.
Albert:
Don't take offense, but Hanna has too much control over your boys.
Pierre Fabre:
She does not.
Albert:
See? You're offended.
Pierre Fabre:
We raised all our children the same way, but they're not peas in a pod. Each one is different. You wouldn't know, having only one. Oh. I'm sorry. I forgot.
Albert:
God took one of my children. He's not taking any more.
Ludovic Fabre:
Mommy, my tummy hurts! It's my period!
Ludovic Fabre:
I'm a girlboy.
Jérôme:
A girlboy?
Ludovic Fabre:
To make a baby, parents play tic-tac-toe. When one wins, God sends Xs and Ys. XX for a girl, and XY for a boy. But my X for a girl fell in the trash, and I got a Y instead. See? A scientific error! But God will fix it and send me an X and make me a girl and then we'll get married, okay?
Jérôme:
That will depend on what kind of girl you are.
Pierre Fabre:
A girlboy, for the love of God! This is all your fault!
Hanna Fabre:
You're such a prick! I don't know why I even married you.
Pierre Fabre:
Neither do I.
Hanna Fabre:
Boy or girl, you will always be my child.
Pierre Fabre:
Our child.
Continuity: When Ludovic is helping Elisabeth put on a cucumber mask, the number and position of cucumber slices on her face changes between shots.
