Q

Yvam - Yes… I’m moved by these colours.

Q

Serge - Why are you attacking Yvan like this?

A

Marc - Because he’s a little suck-up, he’s obsequious, dazzled by money, dazzled by what he believes to be culture, and as you know culture is something I absolutely loathe.

Q

Yvan - […] I find these colours touching. Yes. If it’s all the same to you. Stop wanting to control everything.

Q

Serge - Why is he not entitled to? I don’t think you’re very well. Perhaps you ought to go and see someone.

A

Marc - He’s not entitled to say he finds these colours touching, because he doesn’t.

Q

Serge - […] A man of his time is a man who lives in his own time.

Q

Serge - Same thing. A man of his time plays his part in the fundamental dynamic of evolution…

Serge - It’s not good or bad - why do you always have to moralise? It’s just the way things are.

A

Marc - What about Yvan?

24
Q

Serge - In his way, Yvan is a man of his time.

A

Marc - How can you tell? Not from that daub hanging over his mantelpiece!

25
Serge - What’s the difference? […] And in fact the harder you try not to be, the more you are.
Marc - Well, that’s all right then. So what’s the problem?
26
Serge - There is no problem […] Now apologise to Yvan.
Marc - Yvan is a coward.
27
Serge - Well done. [Silence]
Marc - It wasn’t a good idea to meet this evening… was it?… I’d better go as well…
28
Serge - Maybe…
Marc - Right…
29
Serge - You’re the coward […] as you well know.
Marc - You’re right… you’re right and when you put it like that, it makes me feel even worse… the thing is, all of a sudden, I can’t understand, I have no idea what binds me to Yvan… I have no idea what my relationship with him consists of.
30
Serge - Yvan’s always been what he is.
Marc - No. He used to be eccentric, kind of absurd… he was always unstable, but his eccentricity was disarming…
31
Serge - What about me?
Marc - What about you?
32
Serge - Have you any idea what binds you to me?…
Marc - …That’s a question that could take us down a very long road…
33
Serge - Lead on.
Marc - [Short silence] …I’m sorry I upset Yvan.
34
Serge - Ah! At last you’ve said something […] hanging over his mantelpiece was I’m afraid painted by his father.
Marc - Was it? No…
35
Serge - Yes…
Marc - But you said…
36
Serge -Yes, yes, I remember as soon as I’d said it.
Marc - Oh…
37
Yvan - I mess up your evening?! I?! I mess up your evening?!
Marc - All right, don’t get excited!
38
Yvan - Just answer the question, are you saying it’s me who’s messed up your evening?!…
Marc - You arrive three-quarters of an hour late, you don’t apologise, you swamp us with your domestic woes…
39
Serge - Yes, because on this subject I’m entirely in agreement with him. You create the conditions of conflict.
Marc - You’ve been piping up with this finicky, subservient voice of reason ever since you arrived, it’s intolerable.
40
Yvan - You know what […] I’m very close to tears.
Marc - Cry.
41
Yvan - Cry! You’re telling me to cry!
Marc - You’ve got every reason to cry, you’re losing your two best friends, you’re marrying a gorgon…
42
Yvan - This is it then, is it, it’s all over!
Marc - You said it yourself, what’s the point of seeing each other if we hate each other?
43
Yvan - I can’t! You’re on the invitation!
Marc - You can pick someone else at the last minute.
44
Yvan - You’re not!
Marc - Don’t panic, we’ll come.
45
Serge - But what you should do is cancel the wedding.
Marc - He’s right.
46
Yvan - [BIG YAP] [short silence]
Marc - Don’t get yourself in such a state.
47
Yvan - Don’t get yourself in such a state! […] I have no opinions.
Marc - Calm down…
48
Yvan - [Hands Marc the bowl]
Marc - [Takes olives]
49
Yvan - [Laughs uncontrollably]
Marc - [Laughs]
50
Serge - [Looks at the felt tip]
Marc - [It is thrown to him, and he catches it]
51
Serge - Go on!
Marc - [Goes to painting] [looks at Serge] [takes top off felt tip]
52
Yvan - You’re not going to do it!…
Marc - [Looking at Serge]
53
Yvan - You’re raving mad, the both of you!
Marc - [Leans towards painting] [draws along one of the diagonal lines]
54
Marc - [Draws along diagonal]
Marc - [Draws a little skier with a woolly hat] [Straightens up to contemplate his work]
55
Serge - Shall we eat?
Marc - [Tries a smile] [Puts top on pen and throws it to Yvan] THE END
