Richard: Oh, Sophie, what a lovely smell.
Sophie: Thank you, Richard.
Richard: I could recognize it from miles away. It’s good you’re here, Sophie. I have a favor to ask of you.
Sophie: Anything for my beloved sewing teacher.
Richard: I… We are of the same cohort. Today is my Gommage. And… My son and I had a fight last night. He said he wants to join the Expedition… He wants to waste the last years of his life. I… I didn’t want that for him. I used to think it was a bad choice, but today, I no longer do. I know I made a mistake. I tried to impose my views on him when he is much braver than I will ever be. So I sewed a special uniform for him as my last gift. Could you bring it to him?
Sophie: Of course. I’ll bring it to Jules.
Richard: He won’t join the Gommage ceremony, but he will be at the Expedition Festival tonight for sure. Oh, but you…
Sophie: Don’t worry, I’ll ask Gustave.
Richard: Gustave? Are you back together?
Sophie: For this moment… Maybe.
Richard: I’m glad… He is a good person.
Sophie: Yes, he is…
Richard: Thanks to both of you. And see you.
Sophie: See you.
Jules: Wow, so many Expeditioners! So cool!
Gustave gives Jules the uniform that his father made for him.
Gustave: …
Jules: You take it.
Gustave: What?
Jules: I’m not sure I’ll ever use it. Maybe I’ll go blind like my father, or maybe another expedition will succeed. I want to support the Expedition now. Take it. It may be useful to you.
Gustave: …
Jules: It’s ok. I don’t need the uniform to know my dad’s with me.
Gustave: Thanks.
