Only the truth counts 2024 - Prime 23

Good evening. Good evening everyone. Good evening Laurent. - How are you, Pascal? I'm good what about you ? Good evening to you. Thank you for your loyalty on our show, at our meeting on C8. Meeting of emotion, laughter, tears, very beautiful stories, and open curtains as often as possible. A meeting that would not be what it is without our two friends, Rebecca and Sam. Good evening. - Are you okay, Rebecca? Everything is fine. The lodge is ready. Ready to pass a very active evening? Obviously. Who are you with, Rebecca? I am with Marie. Good evening. - Good evening Marie. This time, we are not in the south. Marie lives in Saint-Savinien, between Sainte and La Rochelle. The Charentes. - That's it. You know who invites you this evening on the set, dear friend? I have a little idea, yes. Will you tell us later? - Yes. Waiting that you come and find us, we are going to close the lodge hermetically between the stage and the dressing room, and we are going to receive… Aurelia. - Aurélia, ladies and gentlemen. Good evening, sit down. I'm doing well ? - Good evening. You look stressed. You arrived with your eyes... - It's better. The person we just saw in the dressing room, you know her well. She's your sister, but she's a sister with whom you no longer speak and with whom you have somewhat complex problems, and for quite a long time. In summary, yes. It's been a while that we are no longer in touch. For eight years if we are well informed. That's about it compared to... - After your father died, that's it. It was complicated for everyone, I think. It is also human in the sense where mourning is mourning. There is a need for time, of gentleness and kindness. At that moment there is something who broke up with Marie. Yes, the relationship was different and we didn't see each other since this story, since his departure. So that we understand clearly, as well as all those who are watching us right now, there was an event, there was a conflict. You told our team, while preparing the show, that you inherited the business your dad's oyster farm. That's it, and then the house was sold and they had their share too. Yes, but it's not what I wanted to say. Just the fact that it is you who took over the company, Could it have bothered Marie? Make her angry? - It's possible. It's to do with her. What hasn't been said is... Have you ever had any explanations? Even on the phone, mutual friends? Two sisters talk to each other normally. Afterwards, it was broken up. One and the other, we didn't try to dig. Broken by your doing, by his doing or both, each on their own? We already lived far away, she was in Brittany, me in Charente-Maritime. Communication is not like where we are in person and I think it's ideal for a conversation. The telephone is one thing. You are ten years apart with your sister. Normally, the big sister should also show the little sister a path. We all have our weaknesses. It was tricky in this situation. I am not perfect and I don't think anyone is. You then recognize yourself a certain wrongs. Let us clarify that you have the same dad, but not the same mom. Yes that's it. - You are half-sisters. However, you were close. It doesn't change anything in my heart. She's a real sister. - It's also valuable. She is precious to me. That's why I'm here. Your last exchange how did it go? On the phone or seen? Actually, last time, it was on the phone. It was a better exchange. I won't know tell you the right words, because I am in the present. There was still an exchange. - Yes, we managed to communicate. It was on the phone, we totally agree. Then there were text messages. I saw it was cut Communication. That's why I'm here. This is for another approach which seems right and beautiful to me. thank you for being here to make it possible. Nothing was said by Marie to explain this distance. As I remember, no. You asked for our help to find your sister, talk to her. We obviously invited him on set. What do you expect from this passage in Is it only the truth that counts? What are you planning to tell him? Two sisters who you don't speak, which have never been explained to you. Both of them, unable to say why they don't talk to each other anymore. What would make this evening, do you have any semblance of an explanation? You want to give it to him or do you expect it from her? We'll see. To try, It’s a possibility, it’s moving forward. Allow yourself to be there, to take the steps. You want to try to shake things up a little. My approach, it's really about being here. Before, it was before, today it may be different. Do you two have spouses? What I heard, yes, she was with Benoit the last time we saw each other. Your brother-in-law? - Yes, we can say that. Your sister's companion. - Yes that's it. OK, agreed. Yourself, are you with someone? Do you have children? Me, I'm not a mother and I am in a relationship with Sylvain. Neither spouse tried, from either side, to reconcile these two sisters? Maybe not them, I don't know. - No never. No, that's my approach. Yes that's it. Pascal and I have been friends for 40 years. We sometimes yelled at each other a few times in our life. I remember of a few times when our women, that we know well from the time and that I also know it well and so do you, tried to talk to each other by saying that we have been angry for two weeks. When you are in love with someone, that we live with him, we make the effort, when things don't go well with their spouse, with their sister or parents, to try to put oil in the wheels and to be a little the messenger of something. With us, it's not like that. It's hard. Is today, you are considering the idea that she can leave this curtain closed and you stay in the same situation? In this case, how would you experience it? I am not convinced. I do not know, maybe. From my point of view, it's possible that it will open. We hope so, of course. It's not lost in advance, you mean. I'm confident. what are you going to ask him specifically this evening? To reestablish these links who were there before. We were both good. To share, to see each other, to spend time together. Family moments too perhaps. - Sharing. Are you going to ask for explanations? Gender, why don't we talk to each other anymore? We'll see if there's a need. If it's a common need, yes. She is in our studios. We've already seen her with Rebecca. She has accepted our invitation this evening. You are ready to pull out all the stops, to say strong things to him, try to convince her to reconnect with you? Let us be close and we share moments. You are ready to speak to him from the heart this evening? It's exactly that. That's very fair. Strong. Aurelia, we'll give you a few moments on this side of the board, in the meantime… See you soon. To find Marie. Mary who is located in the dressing room with Rebecca. Rebecca, can you hear us? - Yes, very good. Rebecca. - Yes. Darling. - Yes. Yes, Rebecca. - Yes Yes Yes. Now, Mary, you are going to get up, you will follow Sam. The truth is at the end of the hall. - THANKS. Good evening. - How are you ? Yes, I am fine. - Sit down. On the little cross? How are you ? - How are you. No idea who invited you? Yes, a little bit. A little idea. A man, a woman ? - A woman. You want to say more or you prefer not to risk making a mistake? No, I can say that. Afterwards, if I'm wrong, it's like that. No, I'm thinking of Aurélia, my half-sister. All right. - Aurélia, your half-sister. That you haven't seen Since when ? Three years soon, I think. Without contact ? Quickly done. Messages once or twice. That's all. - Due to a particular problem? Family stories following death from our father a few years ago. What happened ? Inheritance problems which went badly, we will say. A failed succession? Then a second, three years ago, following the death of my grandmother. Stories as they happen Unfortunately… In many families, where the stories of money, business, etc., are a source of conflict and can harm relationships which, however, previously, were very good. Really, Pascal gives clues to try to put you on the path, but as obviously, you have yourself a special thought and a special idea of the person who invites you, we will see if the clues comfort you or invalidate what you think. A first clue? - We discover the first one. Look into the screens, Please. Marie, do you think that the trials strengthen us or weaken us? Good question. For my part, I would say strengthen us. I'm only 30, but I've had a few in my life. Yes, I think it strengthens us. Every time, Did you come out stronger? I think yes. Anything that doesn't kill me makes me stronger. I think yes. I am quite partisan of that in any case. A second clue? Yes. - It happens in the same place. Look. Silence is golden and the word is silver. What do you think about it, Marie? Silence is golden and the word is silver. Silence is golden. - Yes. You are rather someone who you express easily or who rather stays silent and discreet about what you feel. Yes, I am that kind of person. Quite discreet. - Do you talk to people? It depends on who. - Yes. To my close circle, yes. It is perhaps worth sometimes better to stay silent. Not all truths are good to tell. - When it's over, it's over. You are not someone who forgives easily? I'm not someone to hold a grudge, but there are things, no. Things that I can't forgive. You don't hold grudges, but sometimes. When it's big stories. Stupid stories, no, I'm not going to be resentful. I didn't cut ties with someone only once and that's the person I'm thinking of. It invalidates or confirms what did you just hear as a clue? Does that confirm? - That confirms. You want to discover whose face invited you? I made the journey. Now that I'm here, I'm going to go to the end. We will get to the end of the process. Let's go to the end of the road, please, Franck Broca, and let's allow for Mary to discover the face, the identity of the person who brought him to this set. Yes, that confirms what I was thinking at the time. Your half-sister, considered a bit like a sister. At the time, yes. - Yes ? NOW… As a child, you were very close. - Yes quite. Yes, we had a very beautiful story, a very beautiful relationship, that’s for sure. You know why is she here tonight? I have a little idea. Do you want to hear it? Yes, we are going to the end of the process. - We are here for that. We didn't come for nothing. - Quite. Aurélia, Marie is listening to you. It's yours, Aurélia. Speak loudly! Hello Marie. - Hi. Thank you for being there and accepting to listen to what I have to say to you. Time is up and I realized that this business takeover was not a good idea, and that it was not to go inside me. In the sense that it was complicated for everyone, the death of our father. It was to avoid experiencing mourning. It was a resource, a means to protect myself, in a way. Today, I am changing my life and return to the sources, inside me, to see what is precious and who really matters to me. I would really like, if there is a need to discuss, if there are things which have not been said and which, perhaps, need to be said. What are the needs behind the fact that we were separated for so many years? What hasn't been said? I wish it were possible, that tomorrow, we will be sharing moments that are precious, who were and who are ties of sisters and hearts always. I said everything what I had to say. What did you feel? What happened to you? How did it go for you? You know, we've already talked about it. When dad died, I was 21, now I'm 30. I became a mother. I created my family. - How is it for you today? That's the past, okay? How is it for you… I saw your message. - Yes. Afterwards, as I said, even to Benoît or to my friends, It’s a shame it’s come to this after everything that happened. Although I return the situation in all directions, Me, I couldn't forgive. Too much time has passed, there were too many moments where I did without you. Last year, when I got sick, I got through my illness without you, and that did it. Finally, now... Do I hear that your need, Is that what it would have been like for me to be there? No. What is your need? It's making my life with my family. It's not because we are... - Who am I to you today? It's not because we're half-sisters that inevitably, we are obliged to… There are half-brothers, half-sisters, real brothers, real sisters, parents, children, who do not get along. That's life, it's like that. Look at Alexis. It's choices. - Yes. Alexis, do you have relations with him? Did you have any? - Yes. Did you have any when we met him? That's to say ? - When I wanted to meet him. Afterwards, thank you for your approach. You didn't tell me that if we don't know him, there is a good reason and that we shouldn't know? Only idiots don't change their minds. - I changed my mind too. Thank you for investing on that, in this relationship. It is important. Who failed me, but If I had known, I would have done nothing. If it suits you both, great. - No, without that. I saw that it was important to you right now where you found yourself in your eyes. Yes, I was 16. I'm 30 now. SO ? That was back then. Now, Alexis, I have no more sound, no more pictures since grandma's death and before that, since dad died. maybe My request was not clear. I would like today May these sisterly bonds be reestablished. I do not want. I haven't forgotten the past, everything you could say to mom, the behavior you may have exhibited. The subject is us. Yes, but my mother is my mother. - Yes OK. I hear you were hit. I too was touched in the sense that what was said to me… You know ? - It's not even being touched. It's because I was betrayed and disappointed, because precisely, we had such a beautiful relationship than ever in life, I wouldn't have thought that we would have come to this. Now it's like this. - I'm sorry. I have my life, I grew up and it suits me very well like that. My friends became my family by force of circumstances, by what happened to me. They have always been there, all the time. They always have me accompanied, supported. It's the same. We have a photo of you with your dad who touched us a lot, because we feel beyond love for daddy, this complicity in this photo. On this, until death of our father who went badly afterwards, we had a very beautiful relationship. We got along very well, and it is for that that I felt betrayed, disappointed and hurt. I suffered from it for a long time. It was very complicated. So. I drew a line. In life, and I'm not telling you anything, you are 30 years old, you have experienced things, you said it, the pages turn in one direction and they can also turn in another direction. Yes of course. Nothing definitive ever happens than death, unfortunately. Yes quite, but in my head, it's clear. I've turned the page, I have my life and I'm very good like that. I have my life, my friends. We understood that you had a conflict between you, a very ramified and very complex conflict in which we will not go into details. Around a shared dad who dies with a heritage that is becoming more complex, where everyone has the impression perhaps, that he pulls the blanket to himself, that he wants to get things which are not what was expected. Family stories. - Quite. There, what you tell us as well as your sister, is what you think what she could have done or say is strong enough, sufficiently important and hurt you enough so that there is no room for forgiveness. It's been a few years, It's not from today. Requirement, It’s today anyway. The fact that she does this approach this evening... It’s a nice step. It is a process where we also hear excuses. Afterwards, I'm sorry if you were injured. It wasn't at all I intend for you to be hurt. Yes, but I'm not going to change my answer. It remains the same. I just need let it be said, expressed and heard. I hear it. - It was important to me. Thank you for coming. In any case, I respect your choice and I'm open anyway. I'm not closed. You missed her since things haven't been going well, since you stopped talking? There aren't times when you say to yourself that you could take a small step? No, there are definitely moments. Sometimes I tell my partner, because we sometimes talk about it again. I tell him it's stupid that we're in this situation got there, but that's how it is. It was a beautiful relationship, but that's the past. Now I have built my life. It's been eight years that our father died. I am more level-headed. Lots of things happened. What is it like in your heart? Everything is fine now. No, I'm sorry. You don't have to be sorry. I am… I lived a difficult year last year. Today, I'm in remission, I'm rebuilding myself. I have my family life, I have my friends, who I consider to be my family. Most of my friends that you know, they are always the same. It's my family, though, It's not a blood relationship. For me, it doesn't change anything. Marie, we clearly understand the meaning what your response will be. However, we have a ritual and we will respect it until the end. Until the end of the process, you said. You have, on the other side from this curtain, your half-sister, who would like to take over a relationship of sisters, an affectionate relationship as she could have existed between you for a long time. She tells you that she misses you. We thought we heard also apologies, regrets about to things that were done or said. Do you decide tonight, what is a decision momentary anyway, to open or let this curtain close? I'll leave the curtain closed. It is your strictest right. - We'll let you go. Thank you so much anyway. See you soon ! - See you soon ! We're going to open the curtain. Please join us, Aurélia. The conflict is harder and the resentment is more blocked in inverted commas. I'm not blocked. I said what I had to say and my request, it was a request from the heart which is precious. I think… I'm not closed. Just now, this emotion is there and is legitimate. You told her, she heard. - It matters to me, that's what's there. This show, it also works in the medium term, she also works on the long term. Things can also work in the head and in the heart of Mary. We were all sensitive to sincerity of your approach, Marie too, I think. Thanks for being there anyway. We'll let you go. A new story, Pascal. - Of course, a new story. We'll find Rebecca in her dressing room. Who are you with ? I am with Yoann, who is a bit like me. His job is to be always on the road. What does he do for a living? - Delivery driver. To meet up and drop off an invitation is quite complicated, but Yoann is there. What region are you from, Yoann? I am from the West Indies. The Antilles where precisely? Pretty much everywhere. Not a particular place? - No. West Indies. - Yes. Do you know the show? - I watch it when I'm at home. You have an idea of ​​the person who can invite you tonight? I do not know, maybe a former long-time girlfriend. No idea. It's going to be a surprise. Listen, we leave you with Rebecca to meditate a little. A new girlfriend? No. - No, Rebecca. We will see. - Yes, we'll see. We never know. She makes hearts flutter, Rebecca. We'll leave you both alone and we close the connection with the lodge, time for us to be able to discover on this plateau who has a truth to tell, to Yoann. Franck, is the dressing room closed? Yes. Thank you, Franck Broca. We will welcome on this plateau, ladies and gentlemen, an old friend, we'll see. Not sure. Patrick, ladies and gentlemen. Hello Laurent. - Hi Patrick. Welcome. - Good evening. I'm doing well ? - Yes, very good. Welcome ! Yoann, who we have just seen, is thinking that she's an old friend. Yes it's possible, because he had girlfriends. Which is not the case. Not at all, because we are together for sixteen years now. No, she's not an old girlfriend. Sixteen years as a couple. We've been a couple for sixteen years and we've been married for a year. Very recent. - Quite. It took you fifteen years to decide? Absolutely yes. It wasn't in my frame of mind. He often asked me, but I was still married first. It was following the death of my wife. that he really asked me and as we were together for fifteen years, I have thought that there, it really is serious, so I accepted. In a first life, you have been married to a woman. You even have children. - Three children. Nine grandchildren. Well done. Then you met Yoann. I met Yoann. He was 17 years old. We became very good friends. Friends to the point where he dumped his girlfriend after a year. Then we decided to share accommodation, because frankly, he made me laugh. It was terrible. We both shared a room for a year and a half, as friends and it turned into love. How's it going between Yoann and your family? It went very badly initially, obviously. My son put a lot of time to admit it. Yes. Now, for eight years, things have been going well. This is a question we often ask, perhaps a hetero question. This is going to seem very stupid, my question. Sorry for the simplicity of my question. What makes that when we have had a life, we were married to a woman, we had children, all of a sudden, because we meet, and That must be the answer anyway… I almost want to say the same thing for Yoann. He also had a girlfriend, etc. What makes all of a sudden, we discover love differently, different from what we experienced so far, because all of a sudden, a meeting makes… For us, that’s precisely it. It's a meeting. Really, it's a meeting, because we are neither him nor I on that side, absolutely not. What do you call this side? - On the gay side, let's say. I don't know how they say it, gay. We're going to say gay, because it's gay now. We are not at all… It's a meeting, it's a real encounter, because of friendship, it happened in a romantic situation. It is a journey that must be complicated, especially when we have, as you had it, children, a family. The look of the others. I was criticized a lot. Especially since Yoann, when I knew him, he was only 17 and a half years old. He was going to be 18 and it was 15. Obviously, I had a lot of problems. No worries, no. I made it to the end, that's all. I never thought obviously we would go that far, because no one didn't believe in our story. I was so good, he made me laugh so much that love has taken hold and we couldn't leave each other. No more question of leaving each other, to see things other than being together. We obviously wonder why you are here tonight. I'm here tonight for a good reason, firstly, because I would like to tell him I love it, that’s for sure. There is also a very important fact. You discovered something. - Yes. It wasn't that long ago. - Absolutely. Who turned your life upside down a little. - Yes. In any case, the image you had of this boy and of your companion, etc., you learned how what are you going to tell us? Don't worry, it's not something horrible, on the contrary. We can tell the truth. You have some health problems. Absolutely, a big one. Want to tell us more? That is to say, five years later that we were together, we noticed that I was in severe kidney failure. I returned to pre-kidney transplant, because I needed to have kidney surgery. Especially since I only have one. You only have one at the base. That's it. So obviously... If I don't have a donor, it's over for me. I was in pre-kidney transplant. My children wanted, obviously, offer yourself. I did not want, because having nine grandchildren, I was afraid that if it's hereditary, that they need a kidney. I refused. Yoann proposed to me. I refused due to his young age, telling him that anyway, we weren't of the same blood and that it was not possible. This would not be compatible. Behind my back, Yoann, without me knowing it, was seen another nephrologist than mine, because we don't have the right to have the same, and did his pre-transplant behind my back, without me knowing it. He made all the preparations so that if you need a kidney, let him give it to you. First there is the pre-transplant to do. Afterwards, We need to see if we are compatible. As a result of our compatibility, Yoann became my living kidney donor. I was summoned by the two nephrologists, mine and his. I did not know why. Someone told me that Yoann had undergone his pre-transplant and that he was potentially my living kidney donor at his request. It’s an incredible proof of love. - Was it a total surprise? He hadn't told you about it. - No not at all. You come tonight, not only tell him I love you, but give him something share homage and thank him. Frankly, yes, because there is no more beautiful proof of love than that and you have to be brave all the same to do that, especially at his age. He was very young. Because you have 36 years difference, that's it. Yes, I'm going to be 70. You don't do them at all. - How many does he have? He is 33 years old. So. We retraced this beautiful story in pictures of friendship that becomes a love story, to the point where one of them is ready to give his kidney to another. Look. Yoann and Patrick, It’s a very astonishing story. When they meet, they are neighbors and little by little, they become friends. At the time, everyone was in a relationship on his side with a woman. The two men end up separating of their respective companions. and, for convenience, they decide to become roommates. Yoann and Patrick understand each other and support each other. Despite the age difference, their friendly relationship transforms in a romantic relationship. Their relationship is not easy accepted by their respective entourage. Thirty-five years of age differences, is this relationship serious? Yet it has been going on for fifteen years. Yoann and Patrick form a solid couple. They support each other in good times, as for their wedding last year, but also in difficult times, because Patrick suffers from kidney failure and his health is deteriorating. Eventually, he will need a transplant. Yoann therefore does not intend to give up the one he considers his other half. So, without talking to Patrick, he will do a compatibility test to ensure that when necessary, he can give him his kidney. The result is positive. When he learns of Yoann's gesture, Patrick is upset. So, this evening he wishes to thank, on the tray of It's only the truth that counts, the one who is ready to give him a kidney out of love and prove her feelings to him by pouring out his heart to him in public. We just saw it, it's a long story. You thought one day that it was going to take this turn, with your health problems and this info you have? No, because on top of that, I had the chance also that by having a healthier life, because before, it's not that I did anything, but I ate well, etc. Therefore, it turns out that now, I no longer need, for the moment, kidney transplant. OK. However, we don't want that. - Yes, it can happen at any time. You now know that you have a donor and not just any donor and if you ever need it, the man you love and who loves you is there for you. Quite. Does he have any idea? of the person who invites him? He thinks she's an ex-girlfriend. - An ex, a girlfriend? His ex. I think of the last one, because she restarted it several times. He was afraid it would be someone from his family, because if that had been the case, he would have left straight away. Is he angry with his family? - Yes yes. His family did not accept. - His family did not accept. They told him that he had with someone at the end of their life. It's been sixteen years that I'm here, it's okay. Still, he he is convinced that she is an ex-girlfriend. His ex-girlfriend. We can take him there if we want. I think yes. He's going to be. Will he be very surprised to see you? I think, he doesn't suspect at all that it's me. No way. We'll give you a few moments. We're going to find Yoann. - All right. You are ready ? - Yes quite. The curtain closes behind us. - Give the floor. We're going to find Rebecca as soon as the curtain is closed, which is done. Do you hear us? - I can hear you very well. With Yoann, we said to ourselves that I loved to sing, he didn't like to sing, I liked dancing, he didn't. So it's complicated. We like each other, but we won't be the best friends in the world. I will send it to you. Please stand up. No worries. - Follow Sam. Bye. - Bye. The truth is at the end of the hall. - THANKS. Come see, Yoann. Good morning. - Good evening. Let me introduce you to Laurent. Yoann, are you okay? How are you. - Nice to see you. How are you ? - How are you. You didn't want to tell me where you come from in the West Indies. I go everywhere. - Beautiful region nonetheless. Yes. - We are very popular in the West Indies. This is one of the shows which we watch with assiduity. We kiss all our friends overseas in general. Have you wondered who invited you to our set this evening? I thought it was my family. If I ever see them, I get up and leave. Why are you at war? - For several things. It's very complicated. Very complicated ? - Yes. How long have you been at war with them? Quite a few years. - The whole family ? Yes. - Everyone around you. Your parents, your brothers and sisters, your cousins, everyone? I gave up on everyone. On your side or their side? For my part. We assure you, This is not your family. The last possibility, she's an old friend for a long time perhaps. When you say girlfriend, an ex? - So. An ex-lover. A long time ago ? - Yes. How many years ? A little over 17 years old. - Yes ? How old are you ? I'm going to be 34 soon. When you were 17. A kind of childhood love. Teenage love. - To college. Do I offer you a clue? - Gladly. Look at these screens. We are going to ask you a question which should maybe put you on the path. Yoann, is that do you trust easily? My trust easily, today, I would say no. Because you were disappointed by people? Yes, a lot. Today, you became suspicious. Suspicious, distant, and I prefer really know the person before hooking up with it. At this point ? - Yes. I had too much trouble before, so I don't want to suffer again. In relation to your family stories? Yes. - You were hurt, really. Yes, a lot. A second clue? Yes. This one didn't help you. Yes, yes, no? No. - Are we going to have a second one, Pascal? Of course. Look up there again. Yoann, do you think that the past has still its place in the present? I do not think so. Once the past is past, I won't come back to that. We turn the page. - Yes. I turn the page and I move forward. Let's move on to something else. - Yes. Are you happy today? - Very happy. That, there is no photo. This is the old show, There is no photo. There, it's only the truth that counts. - No, it's reality. Today, I am very happy. I have a good situation, I'm with someone who gives me everything. Frankly, I am very happy. Maybe your ex-girlfriend, you said you think that it could be a lead, She thinks she misses you. Yes. What was her name? Just the first name. Amandine or Julie. There are two ? Amandine or Julie? Two twin sisters. - Did you go out with both? Laurent's dream at the time, when he was young. Seriously ? - Yes. You dated two sisters. - Yes. One, it broke and I took the other. Was there a blonde? Roughly. Amandine and Julie, which is the first and which is the second? Amandine, the first, Julie the second. You have been more in love Julie or Amandine? The same. - Yes. Yes We invite you to discover the face of the person who invites you this evening? Gladly. - Yes. Look at these screens and we're going to make this person appear who is standing on the other side of the curtain. The dungeon. This is Pat, my companion. Patrick. - Yes. The man who, you said it, brings you everything. Yes, a lot. Is this a nice surprise? Yes, literally. How long have you been married? Married, it's been a year, a little over a year and we are together for sixteen years in total. A big story, a long and beautiful love story. Why did you get married? at one point ? Because I wanted it, because I know that he's the only person who will be with me. If tomorrow he is no longer there, there will be no one left. To this extend ? - Yes. Yes, really no one anymore. I will remain solitary. Yes ? Yes. A very deep love? - Yes. With him, yes. Yes. I do not even know how to explain it. That's it for me, that's all. I will give him my life directly to save him. So. Do you want to know, Yoann, what Patrick has to say to you this evening? Yes with pleasure. The fact that he invited you in that part of the plateau. Yes. Do you want to hear it? - Yes, I want to know. Patrick, it's yours. Patrick, - Does he see me there, Yoann? He sees you, he hears you like you. My baby, you make me cry. Hello my Baby. Hello Patrick. Call me Laurent. Me, I want to be your baby, but… Laurent, if I made you come to the… No, I'm wrong. Come on, Yoann listens to you. Yes my baby ! Listen, I made you come, to tell you that I love you. That's clear and clear. I wanted to tell you too, honestly, thank you. thank you for everything what you did for me. I wanted to put to honor especially your gesture, which is incredible to me, to have been able to do your pre-transplant without my knowledge what's more. Once the result of our compatibility, for telling me that you were becoming my living kidney donor, what courage. You have to be very courageous to do that, especially at your young age. Thanks baby. Thank you for being with me as you are. Every thing that happens to me in my life, as soon as it's something good, I think only of you to at least share it. You are the first person who I want to share it with. The way you are with me, so cuddly, so considerate, All, This is crazy to me. I thank God every day for putting you in my way. You chased away my demons until giving me back my self-esteem for that matter. Thanks for all that. We had a lot of stories with certain people who didn't believe in us. It's been sixteen years now that we both are. Nice snub to your family, since we got married and moreover, you took my name. So. Thanks for all that. I hope we continue both of them for a long time. We have the same taste. It's incredible though to have both become friends for a year and a half and to have fallen in love afterwards. Madly in love with her boyfriend. It's still amazing. It happened to us. That's a beautiful story. - Again. That's a beautiful story and we still hold on. I think I will end my life with you. For sure. So. Yoann, you are touched by this approach? Frankly, That makes me very happy. I am really moved. That makes me very happy. He told us about the difficulty from the beginning of the relationship, Patrick. He told us that you have been through a lot trials, many difficulties. Do you remember this period? Yes, because towards my family, it was not accepted. They did everything to break it up. We never broke. It's a heavy decision to say, I will give my kidney if Patrick needs it. It is a decision that was difficult for you to take? Honestly, no. When I knew he was in severe renal failure, my decision has been made. I contacted the hospital of my own free will. I did the pre-transplant without him knowing it. He knew it last. At first he didn't want to but I told him, you don't have a choice, you do it. It's a form of love and the most beautiful that you can give to him. As I say, when you love someone, we go all the way, we do what we need to do. As long as we can keep it alive, to be with him, all the time, until the end, we do it. What is important, it's that this evening, we, of course, love the love stories in this show, with our team, with Laurent, and we love when these love stories go a little against prejudices, a priori. There you go against many prejudices and a priori on the age difference, about the possibility of loving yourself with sincerity, disinterest when you are of the same sex, on the fact that we can love women, then men, or vice versa in his life. That the main thing is not sex is love and person. There you show us both, At any point of view, at what point the only thing that matters is love. It's the truth. Today we are in 2024, we have a choice in everything. Afterwards, if there are those who are against, It's their problem, not ours. In 2003 or 2004, we were part of, Pascal and me, from the first shows to make tax declarations. Exactly, around the curtain. You want to get paxed with me, etc. ? At the time, we received, I'm not going say how many, because it would be innumerable, the number of letters we were able to receive at TFI, let's not even talk about it, taking us out of the trash absolutely abominable, horrors of this kind, how we can give speak to these animals, people who behave like this? How you, you can, etc. ? We too have known the moment we were judged for the animator work we did only, because it was said, I love you to people who were the same sex, and that it shocked them at the time. We also see the evolution, fortunately, for 20 years now. We too have experienced reproaches, and grievances in the 2000s, when we were the first to defend this cause and to say to yourself that true love is more important that the thoughts of each other, especially negative thoughts. You know, Pascal and Laurent, If I may, in our everyday life, Yoann and I are extremely discreet. Namely that when you see me with Yoann, everyone thinks he's my son. When I go to a store, they tell me, hey, I saw your son, but I never say. He is charming, your son, I say, yes, he is charming. We absolutely don't say it. If Yoann was with me, he will allow himself to say that he is not my son, that he is my boyfriend or my husband. So. Otherwise, we are very discreet about our relationship. We prefer to be like that and I think it's very good. Tonight, in any case, you broke up a bit of this discretion, but for a good cause. You did well, because once again, including on this theme age difference, love has no gender, love is ageless. You show it tonight. - Absolutely. Please get up, Yoann and the curtain will open so that you can find Patrick, your husband, on the other side of that curtain. THANKS. Go ahead, Yoann. Go ahead, Yoann. How nice. Not too disappointed that it wasn't Amandine or Julie? Not really. Thank you for being our guests this evening. Be happy. - Thank you Pascal. Thank you for being the good example and embrace who you are. Come on, arm in arm. THANKS. - See you soon. If now, Laurent, we discovered a new truth? Yes, a new story and a new opportunity to open the lodge with Rebecca immediately to find out if she is accompanied. Rebecca. - Yes, I am accompanied. By whom, Rebecca? Estelle, who accepted the invitation and who is there. Good evening Estelle. - Good evening. Are you doing well ? Very well thank you. Estelle, how old are you? - I'm 21. A baby, you are just starting out in life. Unlike the person which is to your right. It's not false. It's elegant. - It’s true that Laurent… Rebecca, you don't see me, but I give you a big kiss. It's true that I don't see you. Besides, I don't want to see you anymore. - That's it. I'll stay in the dressing room. - We'll make a curtain, you and me. Yes. - One of these four. Estelle, have any idea of what brings you tonight on our show? Not too much, but I just hope that this is not a declaration of love. Are you already in a relationship? No no. You don't want to be? Yes, but not like that. OK. - It's not going so well. I won't say anything I heard before you take the lodge with you. We're going to close the dressing room. - We're closing. There, for now, you won't hear us at all and this will allow us to welcome on this set the person who came this evening tell Estelle the truth. Manon, ladies and gentlemen. Good evening. - Hi Manon. How are you ? - Yes. I'm doing well ? - I'm ok thanks. Your hands are cold, Manon. Can I see your hands for two seconds? They look like feet of my wife in the evening in bed. What ? Vanessa, if you can hear us. - Kisses, darling. Aren't you a little too... - No it's OK. Are you sure ? - It's good. Are you almost on my lap? - Yes. Come if you have something to tell me. - It's not the desire that I lack. How are you ? - I'm ok thanks. A little stressed? - Yes. You know the one we just saw. - Estelle, yes. Is this a declaration of love? - No. If it's a declaration of love, she doesn't want it. How are you. - She is in love ? I don't know. - Are you angry? We're not angry, but cold. Obviously for a good reason. - Yes. While you were very close. That's it. - What happened ? What happened, it's that I got closer to a friend that I met. She felt a little neglected, abandoned. There was a boy story. Not really between you? No, no, there is a boy which he liked. Then you decided? - To present it to the other. Yes, my new friend. Why did you do that? Because she didn't tell me that he really liked him. It was a misunderstanding. It wasn't intentional on your part to harm him. I asked him if she would mind if I introduced it to her. She told me no, but in the end... - It bothered her a lot. The new friend is out with the boy? No, that didn't happen. - In addition. All for nothing. - All for nothing. How did it come about? to sinter you sufficiently, etc., until I no longer see you and stop talking to you? She felt betrayed. We saw each other much less, given that I was with my new friend a lot. She felt abandoned and replaced while I never wanted to replace her. Do you miss her? - Yes a lot. Were you doing lots of stuff and stuff? - Yes. Do you miss all that? Yes, because with Estelle, we knew each other in difficult times. We were in high school and we were a little aside from the other students. You two were harassed. - Yes. So, we supported each other. Let us part like this, it hurts me. How long have you not spoken to him? - We talk, but it's cold. We lost the complicity we had. We are no longer close, united. So you came ask him for forgiveness? You came to ask him to resume your friendship after these eight magnificent years. To resume as if nothing had happened? I want her to know that I care about her a lot and it's not because of a story of a boy that we must separate. That she is like my family. Your new friend in history, what becomes of it? I distanced myself a little compared to Estelle, to show him that it was... You have distanced yourself with the new friend in question? The one who separated you in quotes, unintentionally perhaps. What's her name ? - Chloe. Is she looking at us? - I don't know. Can we give him a kiss? - Yes. Hi Chloe. She's nice too. You took a little distance with Chloé to prove to Estelle that your best friend remains her. Afterwards, you will come and reconcile with Chloé who will be upset because… An eternal beginning again. - There you have it. That's what it's like to have lots of friends who love you very much. I only have a few, that's why that I don't want to lose them. Good philosophy of life. - Very little. Yes, I only have one. Forty-one years old. As soon as there's a girl I find nice, etc., hop, it's for Pascal. I am generous, for me, it's directly, even if another guy tells me that he likes the girl. No, no, it's for Pascal. It's Pascal. I'm lucky. Do you think, Manon, that Estelle will welcome this approach as you expected, as you wish ? Or as you say that she is resentful, you take the risk of a closed curtain this evening? I hope she sees that I'm sincere and she's going to put a little his pride aside to forgive me, and start again from scratch. You sometimes looked the show together? No, but she loves this show and I've been looking at it for a long time. I was not born, but I watched anyway. No, I didn't want to... That's strong. We have known everything. We knew people who told us, I was as tall as three apples and I was already looking at you. Already, that puts us a little dent in the labels. This is a direct blow to us, but we accept. I was not born and I was already looking at you, we never heard it. I was wrong. We know that the show is successful, but at this point. It's stress. In your mother's womb, you're already looking at us. Via your mother perhaps. - No, but everyone is watching. We understand. I hope we relax you a little. We invited. - Yes Yes of course. Rebecca went, since you live both the Marseille region. Yes, not far. - That's it. Rebecca didn't have than take your scooter to go carry the invitation to Estelle. Look. We are in the region Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, close to Marseille, at Penne-sur-Huveaune, near the Calanques national park which is a protected area absolutely magnificent natural. I could say more from the south, but if I'm here, it is to put back this invitation to Estelle, a young student in graphic arts, passionate about cinema. She's 21 and I hope she wants go on the show. Here we go. The door is open, so, I try. If there is a dog, save me. There is a cat. Good morning. Hi, I'm Rebecca from the show Only the truth matters. Are you Estelle? - Quite. I would like to give you this invitation hoping to find you as soon as possible on our set. Great thanks a lot. - Good day. Glad to see her? - Yes. Is that good Estelle? - Yes. She has changed ? She is beautiful. She accepted the invitation. She's in Rebecca's dressing room. You will be able, if she agrees to give you the floor, because she is the one in charge, talk to him, hoping that she forgives you and she accepts to resume your bonds of friendship. You are in a relationship ? - Yes. Her too ? - No, she is single. She doesn't want a statement of love for what she told us. Manon, we'll leave you. You are getting ready to give him a little speech. Yes. See you soon. Let's close the curtain, please, our friends in management and we reopen the lodge with the Marseilles and near them. They are almost a little tense, because Estelle has stage fright. As a result, I couldn't get her to relax. On the other hand, I'm a bit of a stalker. So be very kind to her. As per usual. Please stand up, Estelle. You will follow Sam and the truth is just down the hall. THANKS. Come Estelle. How are you ? - Nice to meet you. Welcome. - THANKS. This is Laurent. - Nice to meet you. Sit down. We're a little embarrassed, Pascal and me. For what ? That look ! Because when people tell us before even arriving on set, I hope I don't find someone I know and that I don't want to see, a thunderbolt, a declaration of love, you imagine what embarrassment does this put us in? when we already know what's on the other side of the curtain and we know that it doesn't match at all what the person wants. Certainly. It's not easy for us, what is happening now. I prefer to be cash and say things in accordance to the other attitude in general. Almost always the truth. - Of course. It is only the truth that counts. Why don't you want to whether it's a declaration of love? You don't even know, I was going to say the boy's name. You'll find out soon, but you don't even know the person. Maybe not. Do it in front of everyone, It’s extremely embarrassing. It can be beautiful too. - It’s beautiful, but… Beautiful proof of love. I prefer the person to tell me face-to-face than in front… It's face to face there. There is a curtain though. There's a curtain, but it's up to you to tear it away and you discover love. It's true. - It's beautiful. Look at those who have passed through here, who had a declaration of love or who issued it, and who are now married, 20 years later, who have kids, who always thank us. Maybe in 20 years, you will have three children with him, who is a charming boy. We are not your parents, your uncles, we are nothing, but we validate. Afterwards, it's Estelle's to say whether he likes it or not. Imagine… You see, Laurent… - Young. Yes. It is not him. Damage. - You are kind. Can I offer you a clue? - Go for it. Look up there, someone will ask you a question. Go ahead, Pascal. - I go. Go for it. Estelle, what is the dream the strangest thing you've done? I've made a lot of weird ones. Recently. Recently, I didn't particularly do any. You just said it. I do plenty, but at the time, say it in front everyone anyway. We forget the night dreams, the dreams of the night, of sleep. What dream do you have in life? Succeed in my studies and work. Then meet a boy. - Yes too. You see we're getting there. Are you studying graphic design? - Yes quite. Want a second clue? Yes please. Yes please, you are very polite. Look up there. - Come on ! Estelle, would you rather be friends with Pascal or with Laurent? Yes of course. That's it. I have the direct answer, Pascal. I can respond ? I prefer to be friends with Laurent, because he's really nice. Answer that because afterwards, he's upset otherwise. You're going to be disappointed, neither of you. I don't make a preference. - How nice. Do you value friendship? - Yes. With boys, girls? Yes. - Is equal ? Yes. I'm not asking you a trick question. You're more of a friend with girls or with boys? I have a lot more more girl friends than boy friends. In any case, friendship is important. - It is very important for me. I suggest you discover the face of the person who invites you this evening? Yes. You know that once you see it, you don't have to listen to it. If he looks like young Laurent and he came to make a statement. The horror for you, you imagine. I want to hear. You want to look carefully for now. Relieved. - Yeah. Yes excuse me. Yes, I am very relieved and surprise. Why surprise? Because I didn't expect... Let her make a statement to you. - Also. No, I didn't expect her at all. Sorry, I'm very nervous. You are home. THANKS. Do we give the floor or not? to this charming young woman who made you move from the South to Paris? Yes. Manon, it’s yours. - It's yours, Manon. Is she, I'm already glad you're here. I wanted to tell you. Maybe you don't know why I'm coming to talk to you today. In my opinion, this approach is very important. Maybe I never told you, but you mean a lot to me. Lately, It was very hard between us. We almost got lost, I think. It's complicated to tell you that, because I didn't want to hurt you. You suffered a lot, me too. We endured difficult times in high school together. We supported each other compared to many trials. You know a lot of things of me and the same for me. Not long ago, I hurt you. You thought that I had replaced you while it is not possible for me. I can't replace you because for six years we have been friends, you played the role of sister which I didn't have. It's not a nice word, it's sincere. Also, I'm sorry for having presented the person you know to someone other than you. I did not think that it would affect you so much. I didn't think that It could break a friendship that badly. When I saw that in your eyes, there was anger and sadness, I saw your look towards me, It wasn't the same, it hurt me. I wanted to tell you I was sorry. If I come here tonight, this is to tell you that I care about you very much and I think that a friendship should not end like this. It has to last. I love you very much. You are an extraordinary person. Don't let yourself be influenced by the wrong people who tell you that you are not capable. So ! Surprise ? Yes a lot. Touched? Very touched. We were able to understand that there were two main reasons to the friendly separation between you. The first one, it's because she said the word replaced. Let's say there is a third friend who got involved in all this and which became a bit like the main friend. The usual jealousies of friends and girlfriends, and it happens. The second reason is that you were interested in a boy. For once, you were interested in a boy. That your best friend didn't find anything better than to present it to this third person. You have him wanted a lot for that. Is that well summarized? - I took it very badly. Yes ? - Yes. Did you feel betrayed? Yes because she's still my best friend and also because, given the situation, it was very hurtful. For what ? Because it came from her, mainly from her who knew me. She absolutely knows everything I've been through and for me, yes, I saw it as a betrayal. It was not possible and inevitably, we had a very big argument. Since then, almost no news or not much news. The beautiful friendship is over, the beautiful complicity. Something's broken. Yes still. Still, is something broken? Between her and me? - Yes. Not necessarily, because communication, the fact of speaking precisely, can definitely help… To rebuild things. Exactly. In particular, this approach, for example. Quite. Have you already said to Manon, Are you like a sister to me? Are you that sister I didn't have? - I always told him. It makes you feel good to hear it again this evening? Yes, it makes me feel good. For once, I really admire his approach. I know that even though it hasn't been easy between the two of us for a while, it was very courageous to still come here to tell me that. You think she is sincere in his approach? Yes, because I never knew a person as dedicated as Manon. Yes ? - Yes, of all the friends I've ever had. Know that I am sincere and I want to continue, like you said, to be a devoted friend and that it lasts as long as possible. I hope. Than later, we watch this show together and let us tell ourselves that it is in the past. Estelle, stand up facing the curtains, you know the principle, on the little cross there. On the other side of this curtain, we have Manon who came to apologize, tell you how much she regrets for having hurt you, for having bruised you, for having a little betrayed, without doubting it, this very beautiful friendship that united you. She asks you for forgiveness and wants you to take back, if possible, your life as friends where you left it before she makes her mistakes. Do you think this is possible? If so, open the curtain. If you think there is something broken between you, you leave this curtain closed. I would like to open it. Go for it. Two things girls. Everyone thinks the same thing. You are two young and beautiful people. - THANKS. The human quality of people does not wait not the number of years, sometimes. It shows in your eyes, your attitude and we see it in the way you speak. Then it's not Battle and Fontaine who will say the opposite, there is nothing more important that a friend in life, especially when the friendship has lasted for a long time, like us, 40 years of friendship. They don't even know what it is 40 years old, they are barely 20 years old. Your girlfriend told us that she looked at us when she was in his mother's womb. We absolutely didn't believe him. She said, "I wasn't still born that I was already looking at you. » Stay friends for the longest time. Take care of each other. maybe that's it the finest quality of friends. Go back to the south, arm in arm. You know the way. The south is that way and the direction from the studio exit, it's this way. Bravo Manon for this approach. - Hi girls. THANKS. - Hi. Thank you so much. - Bye. Come on, this way. It's time to come back on one of the very beautiful stories from the first version of the show, a love story that was difficult and which was resolved on this plateau. With Stéphanie and Jean-Luc who simply called us because Stephanie was very in love with her man, but it wasn't happening very good between them. We had at the start a couple story and at the end, a very sublime story which we still remember. Look. Good evening. - How are you ? How are you. How are you ? How are you. - Take a seat, please. A little stressed, Stéphanie? - Completely. I felt that you had hand a little trembling. It is not going well at all. It is not going well at all. - I am touched. Not good at all. Not good at all. - No. Not happy to see us? - If. We are delighted to welcome you. Who is the boy we just saw and who is a wine and pinard specialist? Did he already say it? - Yes, he already said that. We asked him the question. Obviously, it's his passion. Jean-Luc is the love of my life. He's really my other half. We will retrace this story. She is quite astonishing. There are teenage loves. There are breaks. There are reunions. We tried to find the guiding thread of this great love story, because he is the man of your life. Immediately in picture. Who is this granddaughter with a sad look doubting the future? It's Stephanie, but it's too heavy a destiny, life sometimes feels like to play nice tricks. For Stéphanie, she reserves this boy, just growing happiness. Jean-Luc, little boy surrounded of the love of his parents who dreams of a wonderful life. Those two there don't seem to have anything in common. However, Stéphanie is twelve years old when she meets Jean-Luc, who is fifteen and suddenly, she imagines a possible future. Three years later, we question ourselves, we doubt, we separate. Everyone decides to build his life far from the loves of his youth. Stephanie gets married, she has two children. Family, I didn't know you well, I will invent you with my blood. Jean-Luc has three. Family, I love you and I want to repeat the joys of my childhood. Stéphanie, like Jean-Luc, doubts may this love be the love of their life. We look into the room these children that we love while saying to ourselves, it's the best of me, the only assessment of my heart. Everyone separates and find themselves alone again. Stephanie, at that moment, think back to that first love. Would this first love be still possible? She contacts Jean-Luc again and, it's the surprise, the return of the obvious. They always loved each other. Stéphanie, Jean-Luc and their children, blended family style in search of true happiness. We hug, we love each other and we say to each other that this time, it's sure, it's for life. You said sure and you're wrong, because a woman plunges back into her past. Stephanie thinks back to this unhappy childhood. She thinks about her father, her mother. Stéphanie has a bleeding memory. Jean-Luc doesn't understand. Silence of hearts, coldness of the empty bodies of a couple. However, in the photos, there are these signs which do not deceive. These same clothes for two, the same gestures together, mimicry loving behaviors. Tonight, while love is dying, Stephanie wants to tell the man of her life, I'm going to make it fall my old anxiety masks and don't think than my present, my future. My future is you. This story is incredible, it really is a reunion, separation. Fifteen years without seeing you, you thought of him when you were yourself married, with children? Yes, I thought of him because we had a mutual friend, who was asked respectively news. You spent your time to have it in your head. Yes, because the first love of your life, you never forget it. You haven't seen him for fifteen years. When you found yourself, was there the attraction that resurfaced? How did it go fifteen years later? Where it was ? We were in Poyac and when we saw each other again, we had the impression that we had never left each other. Everything came back. It is obvious that physically, the years had done the work. For us, compared to what we felt, nothing had changed. We saw it in the subject that you are together, but that didn't happen going very well lately. What do you think explains the deterioration of your relationship? I am constantly in emotional demand. It is true that Jean-Luc, compared to that, I stifled it quite a bit. You love Me ? That's it ? - Yes. You love Me ? The problem, he answered yes, yes, yes, yes, but he still had another question, that is if it is true. It's the fear of constantly losing him. what's wrong for a while ? Did it get worse? - Yes. To the point of separating? Yes, Jean-Luc no longer really knew where he was going in this situation. He no longer trusts me at all. On the other hand, I promised him I would change and a few weeks ago, I attempted suicide. After what ? After much talking and Jean-Luc didn't know if he was going actually continue this story love or if he was going to leave. Then when he told you that? Everything collapsed. Everything fell apart because Jean-Luc always said that I am his other half. We are the twins of love and very often, whether it is us or friends who compare our history of love to Edith Piaf and Marcel Cerdan. Why take this step on the set of There’s only the truth this evening? What I want to do today, it's putting my pride aside, because it's not obvious to come on television. I would rather be at home, looking at you than sitting here. I just want to scream at him that I love him and that my life, I can't do it without him. If I don't have him, I'm dead. Which is a bit weird, that's what he knows, I think he must have understood that you love it. We understand everything you say. Obviously, these are perhaps the excesses that they can no longer stand. The fact that you are possessive, that you often doubt his love, the fact that you are bad about to this need for love that you have, and you send it back to him an image of unease in the relationship. Of passion, but of uneasiness. What do you answer to that? Because that's what suffocates him and that he certainly doesn't make it right. Every day, every morning, now that I get up, It’s our future life that I’m thinking about. Every day I tell myself that all these last few months have passed, I made him unhappy, he admitted it to me. Several times he left for work with tears in his eyes in his car. It’s more than once during… At night, do you make scenes for him? In the evening, I made scenes for him and it went very high. That is to say, I kicked him out. I completely rejected him. Do you think you can change? - Yes. You think he can trust you on this point? I hope so. There, you are on the verge of breaking up. - Yes. It's not okay because he absolutely no longer has confidence. Today you came to tell him that you are capable of change. Absolutely, it gives me confidence again. I want to engage with him and I would like him to marry me. It is true that when you pass really very low like that, afterwards, you sincerely want to embrace life to the fullest, especially with your other half. It's up to you to be convincing in a few moments. We will ask you to remain silent while waiting. We are going to welcome him. How are you ? It's average. - Yes, it will be fine. You will see. - Good evening. Sit down. We are delighted to welcome you. - I'm doing well ? It's still average. - You are tense, Jean-Luc. Yes, tense, I would rather be... I do not know at all and we see nothing. We see nothing. It's opaque and at the same time a little transparent. You prefer to be in the vineyards or in failure as on the set here. No, I enjoy being here in your company. I appreciate you a lot both. You are still in Bordeaux. When you come in Bordeaux come see us. We'll sort it out after the show. For now, you visit us. If you are there, we want to talk to you, tell you something important. Pascal may have a clue. If you want, we can look at a clue together, who can help you. Often they don't help too much. We will try let this one be effective. Jean-Luc, you prefer novelty or the good memories of the past? You had changes in your life? Lately, I've had quite a few. Good changes? I can't say they're good or bad changes. A separation, somewhere, we can't say it's good. Are you separated? - Yes. All right. Especially when there are children. Want a second clue? Yes I want. - Look. Jean-Luc, in love, you're more of the type to lead or to let yourself be guided by the other? When I love, I don’t direct at all. I don't lead at all and I let myself be guided. I give it my all. I give everything of me. You leave the object of your love decide for you and for both of you. It is not really that I'm going to let decide for me. We will decide together. Love, there is a couple. Here, I'm starting to have a little doubt. What are you thinking about ? - To my other half. To my other half, because the past, love. She's your wife what do you call your other half? Yes, that's my other half. If she's not there... It's a pretty word. - We have our definition. It's what ? - The twins of love. I had never heard it. - That was our definition. Here, I have a big doubt. What is this half called? - Stephanie. You want to know, so as not to prolong the suspense further, Who is on the other side? Yes, because there, there is suspense. Look at this screen, please. He's my other half. It's Stephanie... crying. She needs to stop crying. because I'm going to cry too. You hid your game well. She hid her game well. You didn't think it would be her that you would see this evening, on the screen. Do you want to know what Stéphanie wants to tell you? Yes I want to know. I want to know what she has to say to me. Stephanie. It's really not obvious what I did there. It's even hard, because you know that the show, it's better that we look at it from home. Especially since at the time to which it passes, we're both cuddled up in bed. Then. We hope we inspire you a little. We keep ourselves from falling asleep to see you. It's true ? He said falling asleep, he's nice. Tonight I'm here because you know how much we love each other. Yes, I know. You know we arrived at a crucial moment in our lives where we crossed quite a bit things both. We had some tough times. Tonight I'm here because I know it's been months that I make you unhappy. It's been months that you suffered because of me. I didn't know how to tell you how much I loved you and I would like to ask you sorry in front of everyone. I almost lost you twice. Excuse me, regarding the stupidity which I made a few weeks ago, where I found myself in the hospital, because I was so scared to lose you only for me, without you, I no longer exist. As you said earlier, I also cited it the same, we are the twins of love. You are my other half and if I lose my other half, I am nothing anymore. You know that, I already told you. If we leave, I become nothing. I am a zombie, I can't rebuild anything. We really have a beautiful family, our five children. There have been situations that I didn't know how to handle, where I often got angry, I got carried away. What I want tell you today, it's forgiveness, forgiveness and above all that you can regain confidence in me. Because I promise you that never again, we will not cross the months we went through. To actually prove to you what I am capable of, I would like to ask you, Jean-Luc, if you want to marry me. I would like us to commit both. Let there be sincerely something between us. Say something, because now I'm thinking that my heart is going to stop. You took my breath away. It's true everything you said. We went through difficult times. I, at one point, suffered a lot, but lately, you are aware of all this. I did not think… You said we almost separate twice. I would never have believed, I could never have thought that we could separate for love. It was difficult to live with. Lately, you are aware of all this. I realized. Forgive yourself, you know, that I have forgiven you. For the wedding, you'll know if I open the curtain. Good game. It's funny. Thank you for the suspense of the show. You know well the show is good. Your wife, perhaps one day, your companion for the moment, told us, " I love him too much and I love him badly by loving him too much. » Is that what you meant by, I did not think that we could separate? Too much love kills love at some point? Yes, too much love can kill love. Is that what you felt too? - Yes, completely. Jean-Luc, Stéphanie told us that one of his greatest fears today, it was to think that you didn't do to him more confidence and that you could not trust him more. I believe that in recent weeks, she was able to realize of my return in love. There is one thing I do. I whisper to you again, I love you, in the ear. You know if I do this, These are not empty words. Do you have confidence again? Of course. You accept that tonight, I can ask you for forgiveness. I told you earlier, I forgive you completely. For the third question, we'll see. We'll find out in a moment. I'm going to ask you to stand up, Jean-Luc, facing this curtain. You answered to two of the questions. The third, everyone knows it, it’s, “Will you marry me?” » You know the principle of the show by heart. I know him well. You don't have to open this curtain. I'm not going to leave her wait longer. I open the curtain. I love you. I love you. Magnificent marriage proposal, beautiful declaration of love and 20 years later... What happened to the twins of love? Stéphanie and Jean-Luc, Ladies and gentlemen. How are you lovers? Are you doing well ? Good evening Stephanie. Take place. - I'm fine, thank you. Good evening. - Sit down, both of you. The twins of love, we remember again from this expression. U.S. too. You are more beautiful than ever. Married or not married? Married. - Married, yes. The ring. Did you get married for a long time? after the appearance on the show? Two years. Twenty-four months. Time to get ready. - Yes. Yes normal. - We had to prepare all that. You told us a nice phrase that we heard again there. " I would never have believed that we could separate while we loved. » Even today, I wonder how this could have happened, because I didn't imagine it. The answer was that too much love... - Too much love can kill love sometimes. It's exactly that. There was a before and one after this show for both of you. You, I imagine you did a job that was already… That you were already doing back then and here we were at the climax of that. We were really at the moment where you were at the end of the crisis and you decided to take control of yourself and to catch up with Jean-Luc as quickly as possible. You continued this work. Did this show help you? to progress, to move forward? Enormously. Enormously, because like I say, 20 years ago, It’s not obvious what I did. Today I am proud of it because he opened the curtain. Anyway, this moment was amazing to experience. We are reminded of this all the time. Hey, we saw you. Hey, I found a link. - Sorry, it goes back and forth. We don't want to forget it. - Of course. Sometimes we look at each other again and we say to ourselves, I did well to open the curtain. In addition, this love dated from a long time ago. She was twelve years old, I was fourteen. We each made our own life. - It's a great and beautiful story. For me, it's my first love. The story of your life. Are there people who spoke to you afterwards? I imagine so. You have had reproaches, compliments, people who told you, well done, courage or on the contrary, why you exposed your private life? Is this voyeurism, etc.? You all know this bullshit that we can hear. There are people who don't understand it, do not understand it. The show is on on social networks. From. - From. I have people who follow me. I think it's great, but there was also a lot of criticism. “She doesn’t deserve it” and others who say that's a great story. What a fight! That's it. - What a beautiful statement! It gives a lot of hope, I imagine, to lots of people who sometimes cross, moments of crisis in a couple, it happens to everyone, where we ask ourselves questions. Sometimes we separate, we get back together. You handed over a coin in the box game for 20 that night. See you again after 20 years. For you, it's been 40 years. You haven't moved much. What is written on the bracelets on your wrist, Stephanie? She's my daughter, the first, who gave it to me. That is to say, there is Stéphanie, D for Dadou, because that's his nickname. Dadou. - Then there is a heart. It has my daughter's initial whose name is Pauline, my granddaughter called Liana and my son whose name is Thomas. These are the initials and I had a bracelet made to be next to these initials. He wrote Mi Vidas, my life in Spanish. Are you happy for finding us this evening? Not see us. To be on set again. - Yes. I imagine you are happy to find ourselves, to find the team, to find the atmosphere of the people who accompanied you at the time to make your move. I imagine, they even left this wonderful city. This wonderful region where they live... One of the most beautiful cities in the world. Thank you both for being there. Thank you for showing us your happiness. Thank you so much. - Arm in arm Hi Stephanie. - See you later. you go back that way. You are wonderful. - My pleasure. It was a great pleasure. It's already the end of this program this evening. The best things have an ending. We have to separate. We hope you passed an excellent evening on C8. We're going to find Rebecca and Sam to say goodbye to them. She has already put on her down jacket. I have lots of invitations to give, so I'm going to go there. Already ? Yes, of course. NOW ? - Right away. I say goodbye to you. Be careful on the road. - Thanks to Sam. We meet you again next week, same day, same time. You know the meeting. As for you, have an excellent evening with C8 programs. We love you very much. Take care of yourself. See you next week. Bye !
