INT. Arthur's Room

Arthur's alarm goes off.

ARTHUR
( still half asleep)
Not yet...

INT. HOME KITCHEN DUPONT

ARTHUR
Hello, Mama!

MADAME DUPONT
Hello Arthur, did you sleep well ?

ARTHUR
Not really...

MADAME DUPONT
Jet lag?

ARTHUR
Probably. And you?

MADAME DUPONT
Ditto. We'll make it up to you tonight. If you need anything, there are vitamins in the cupboard to your right.

ARTHUR
No, these things don't work on me. But it should be okay. I never get much sleep anyway.

Arthur looks up at the schedule in the oven.

ARTHUR
( surprised)
No! No! I have to hurry!

MADAME DUPONT
Don't be late on your first day...

Arthur hurries up to get his bag and almost instantly comes down into the kitchen.

ARTHUR
I'm gonna have to go. Have a good day and watch yourself. You never know what might happen.

Arthur kisses his mother affectionately on the right cheek.

MADAME DUPONT
But you didn't have lunch.

ARTHUR
It's gonna be fine. I'm not hungry.

MADAME DUPONT
You really don't want me to go to school with you?

ARTHUR
Don't bother. Don't bother. I'm not gonna get lost.

MADAME DUPONT
Are you sure you haven't forgotten anything? Did you take your keys?

ARTHUR
I got them. Everything will be fine. Kisses! Kisses!

Arthur gets out of the house.

MADAME DUPONT
( whispering alone)
Have a good day...
