LAST WORDS · Recap

How was it today?

Usual, shit

They started to exclude me from client meetings

So I would say that this is not a good sign

Oh shit

I'm sorry sweety...

But did your boss say anything to you?

Nope, nothing at all

I think it's time to dust off the CV and shoot it around

Or I'll just shoot myself and be quicker

Come on, stop it!

Look on the bright side

You can look for something more exciting, can't you?

What an amazing opportunity 😑

Anyway, tell me about yourself

How are you doing in the office?

Can't complain 🤷

I fill in forms

I schedule meetings

Make appointments

Take notes

Have you sent any CVs yet?

I no longer know who to write to

Maybe I have a couple of interviews next week

What do you mean 'maybe'?

Have they yet to let you know?

No no

They are waiting for my confirmation

But they don't seem like much of an opportunity...

They would be unpaid internships 😓

Uhmmm

But what jobs would they be?

Two translation companies

In one I should be in charge of press releases, advertising, public relations, etc.

n the other one, I should translate educational content and specialised courses.

Wow cool!

Ok but

How can I support myself if I don't even get paid?

I see your point

But at least you're starting to get into the business, right?

Maybe you get to know someone...

At least I get paid in my dad's office and I'm not exploited

And if I'm not well one day, I don't have to turn up for work

I've also seen a lot of important clients, so maybe it can be useful for the curriculum.

Ok fine

And how are you getting on in the new house?

Super cool! 🤩

It's small but I love it 🏠 ✨

And it's right next to the office!

My parents managed to find a fairly good mortgage

Want some help with the move this weekend?

Ah-ha!

You dug your own grave, baby 😈

You can't back out now 🧰

Oh noes! 😱

I'd better go to bed to catch up on some sleep

See you tomorrow

Luv u 🧡

Non vedo l’ora!

Good night honey

Luv u toooo 💜 💜 💜

Adjust the pillow

So tell me, do you like the place?

So much for bed and breakfast: it looks like a hotel!

Told you: my dad has the right customers.

Come on, let's pack up, I want to take a walk on the seafront!

Ok, just give me a second to check my emails.

Come on, even on holiday you're thinking about work?

Take a break, you'll see that it will do you good, believe me honey...

I know, I know...

Just wanted to check if anyone had replied to my applications.

All right, well, in the meantime, how about I take these shorts off?

They are very uncomfortable, you know...

W-wait but---

In fact, these panties are a bit tight on me too....

What do you think?

Close emails

It's official: I'm unemployed

Oh my God! 😧

I'm sorry, honey... 😖

Eh, what can I do

In the meantime, I will try to ask my flatmates for help with the expenses

Maybe we can split them up differently

Well, at worst you can stay in your dad's old house, can't you?

Ehm...

In fact, I have already withdrawn from there as well

I can't afford two rents 😓

Oh shit

You didn't tell me that!

Well then, listen

I was thinking about

What if I moved in with you?

We could split the costs

But at least I wouldn't need to pay rent too...

What do you think?

Uhmmm

I don't know...

We could try

Are you sure about this?

This is an important step

I don't want it to be just a temporary necessity...

Well, what's wrong with that?

For me it would really help

And the time to move in together will come anyway, right?

Uhmmm

Ok...

Really?

Thank you sweetheart! 🧡 🧡

So tonight when I come to your place I'll start bringing some things I have here, OK?

See you later!

Love you 🧡

Later...

Pack your things

Well, I'd say I'm satisfied!

Haha I agree!

What a spectacular trip.

I have never visited so many castles in one day.

And that bakery was terrific!

Pleeeease, don't make me think about that perfume again...

And how delicious those pastries were!

Back tomorrow?

Allright , I'll make a U-turn and we'll go now!

NONONONONONONO

Please don't go crazy on the motorway!

Haha allright allright...

You know what?

What?

Tell me.

I missed having such a nice day.

I'm always lazy, but if it wasn't for you showing me these places...

I would really miss the whole world.

Thank you, Luly.

I know, I missed these things too...

It is nice to walk with you, even though you are always critical and analytical of everything.

But you make me pay attention to things that I would never notice on my own.

Haha that's true, I never shut up.

I love you very, very much.

I love you too, Luly.

To the moon and back.

Hold her hand

Lusinda come on, how many times have I asked you not to enter with shoes on?

My God, Frankie, what a tragedy!

When I get back later, I'll vacuum. It's not a big deal...

And in the meantime is me having to stand in the dirt all day.

Ok, go for a walk outside then!

Go to the library, at least get the fuck out of the house!

Sorry, but is it possible that you always have to do as you please?

If you avoid soiling, you avoid having to clean.

Christ, it's not difficult.

Yes very well, if it's such a problem call the cleaning lady, I'll pay for it.

At least you're not busting my balls anymore.

Not even in your own home!

Fuck, Luly, I asked you for a simple thing, not the moon!

Is it possible that I can never ask you for anything?

Frankie, are you an asshole or what?

I put you up in my house and you want to tell me how the fuck to behave?

You're not my father, give me a break!

That's so fucking kind of you.

Christ, I left my dad in hospital for you and you can't take off a pair of shoes if I ask you to?

Thank you.

. . .

You really are shit.

Fuck you.

Anything else?

I-I'm going to the psychologist's ap-p-ppointment now.

D-don't wait for m-m-me at l-lunch

A-a-asshole.

Luly, I---

Why did you do that?

She prescribed antidepressants.

Oh, God, Lu, are you sure you really need these?

Well, a doctor told me that, not my neighbour.

Sure, I understand, but I don't know if...

Yes, they have contraindications.

Ok...

Listen, do you want to order dinner?

I don't feel like cooking.

I can do the cooking!

What's in the fridge?

It's empty, I don't feel like shopping.

Should we order Chinese? Or Mexican?

Lu, we can't always order takeaway, I don't have much---

My treat, don't bother. Mexican come on.

No Lu, that's not the point, you can't always offer.

I'll go shopping, come on, I'll be right back!

What a pain in the ass!

Why do you always have to do this?

Because I can't afford to order takeaway all the time, and I don't want to depend on you for everything!

Shit, then go shopping!

In the meantime, I stay in bed a little longer.

Do you want something from the supermarket?

Wrist razor blades, please.

OK, see you later.

Put on your shoes

Don't leave me, Frankie, please.

I don't know what to do without you...

Are you kidding? No way.

I'm sorry, Luly, it's just crazy right now.

I'm always nervous, all these pointless job interviews make me anxious.

I can't slow down my thoughts and I am obsessed with the fear of being unemployed for life...

Hey, don't worry, I'm up to my neck in it too.

At least I have my parents to help me, and you have no idea how much I regret not being able to do anything for you.

But you never want to accept help...

I know, it's just that...

I feel guilty.

I don't want to take advantage of you, I want to do what I can with my own strength.

But it's impossible right now Frankie, don't you understand?

You cannot do it alone!

Let me help you.

Like...

With a kiss?

Haha

Yes, we can start with a kiss.

But only if you give me one too!

But only one, no more than that.

Come here dummy.

We will come out together.

We'll make it, you'll see.

Thank you Lu.

I love you.

I love you too, dummy squared.

Kiss her

Luly, I'm going out.

I'm going to the interview!

There is an exhibition at the castle, we can go there when I get ba-

No, I don't feel like it today.

Shit, Luly, you can't stay in bed all day!

React, read, do something, please!

Why are you such an asshole?

Do you really think I like staying in bed all day?

I don't fucking know!

You complain about being sick and then do nothing to get better.

Because I can't fucking do it, Frankie!

Fuck, I can't do it!

If it were up to me, I swear I'd be out in the streets dancing or in the library reading or working on our fucking website!

I wouldn't stay here locked up in the house in bed wearing out the sheets.

Jesus, do you really not get it?

I don't know, you seem to be wallowing in it...

I'm wallowing?

For God's sake, Frankie, get the fuck out of here.

Pick up your bag

Everything is black, I feel like I can never get out of this abyss. I feel like I'm swimming without end, and I'm so tired.

I would like to stop, close my eyes, take a deep breath... But I know that if I stop, the sea will swallow me, as it did that evening.

I don't want to feel like this anymore. But I'm tired of swimming, I'm tired of swimming without ever understanding where I'm going!

Is there anything I can do to help, Luly?

Yes :

listen to me.

Understand me.

Believe me.

I beg you.

I--- I'm sorry.

You're right, I find it hard to believe you because I don't really understand how you feel.

And that's allright Frankie, you can't understand everything.

But you can't do anything to save me, I have to save myself. I only ask you not to make things worse.

Don't make me kick you out: I want you in my life, but I don't want a life of hell.

Okay. I promise.

Thank you.

I love you Frankie, I love you to death.

Thanks for being there Luly.

I love you too.

It feels like a thousand years since our first coffee, it all happened so fast...

Hug her

Can I put them on this side of the bookcase?

Sure, but...

There's so many of them!

Haha yes, I took them all out of my dad's old house.

I was thinking of taking only the most interesting books out of the boxes: more or less I will need half the wall.

Wait, I'll give you a hand!

Hey you, stop there!

We have to decide which archiving method to adopt.

In order by author, by historical period, by country of origin, by genre, by year of publication?

But who the hell would ever divide them by year of publication?.

None, I think, but it would be an original method!

Well, I'll tell you what: you hand them to me and I'll put them on the shelves.

If you don't like it I'll throw them at your head, how about that?

It seems to me a somewhat too authoritarian approach.

Phew, let's just fill you with kisses until you fall to the ground, then I'll take care of it myself!

Still authoritative, but very attractive.

Let's do this: every book a kiss.

Ummm...

Ok, I'm in!

Very good

The first book is...

"Bar Sport"

Kiss her hand

I finished the interview

Now?

But it was never-ending!

Yes, I was plucked

I am exhausted 🤕

How did it go?

It actually went well

Obviously just my impression

We will let you know after we have evaluated the other candidates.

😓

Come ooooooon 🎉 🎉 🎉

Meanwhile, fingers crossed

Yeah, better than nothing...

But I don't know how interesting it is as a job.

I should mainly deal with statistics and data visualisation

Well, that's what you did with our website too, isn't it?

Isn't that cool?

But there I designed everything from scratch, not just the graphs!

For this company I would have to use super duper old software

Not much graphics design...

So, you know...

Mmmm geez... 😓

Do you want to talk about it when you get home?

I don't really have many alternatives

We will see how it will end 🤷

Tomorrow I'm going to the other interview, maybe it's cooler there.

You're going to kick ass! 🥳

I did some work in the office this morning.

I lasted a couple of hours 😅

New record...

Seems pretty good to me

I think I'll go back to bed...

I'm leaving right now

There will be a bit of a queue on the ring road, I'll be there in an hour or so.

Later

Wake me up when you arrive

Turn on the car
