JacquesUn tapis... bonne idée !
A rug... good idea!
AliceEt aussi une plante, ça ajouterait de la vie et de la couleur.
And also a plant, that would add life and color.
JacquesD'accord.
Alright.
AliceEt peut-être aussi des bougies ?
And maybe candles too?
JacquesPourquoi pas ! Mais je pensais aussi adopter un chat ou un chien.
Why not! But I was also thinking of adopting a cat or a dog.
AliceToi ?! Tu te souviens ce qui est arrivé à ton poisson rouge ?
You?! Do you remember what happened to your goldfish?
JacquesCe n'était pas de ma faute ! Il y avait quelque chose dans l'eau.
It wasn't my fault! There was something in the water.
AliceC'est parce qu'il faut nettoyer l'aquarium !
It's because you have to clean the aquarium!
JacquesJe prendrai soin de mon chat ou mon chien, ne t'en fais pas.
I'll take care of my cat or my dog, don't worry.
AliceOn verra... Bref, je dois y aller, j'ai un rendez-vous.
We'll see... Anyway, I have to go, I have an appointment.
JacquesOk. Je suis content que tu sois venue.
Ok. I'm glad you came.
