No one does this to me,

motherf***er!

Son of a b*tch!

Sh*t...

The bastard's dumped me in it!

Motherf***er!

Sh*t, my 3kg of coke...

Chill...

Chill, we'll find a solution.

l'll call you. Take care.

That was fun, huh?

lt went pretty well.

The food was good too.

Just how do l look now?

lt's Dad's way of showing he cares.

lf he cares,

he respects my principles.

l'll find an internship on my own.

That's your problem.

Be grateful

and forget your dumb principles.

They're not dumb.

They are.

l want to succeed alone.

l don't need a helping hand.

That's your right.

But you'll waste a year.

You'll make it without any help?

That's not how it works.

So no one cares about potential?

l'm not saying that

but that's how society is.

You don't get it.

l'm in custody, you get me out.

Yeah.

l need an internship.

Who comes to my rescue? You.

A black guy can't make it

without a helping hand?

l don't want any help.

Definitely not a white person.

lt's because

l'm white that

l don't get to meet your folks?

That's different. Drop it, ok.

No, let's talk about it for once.

ln my folks' culture,

you only introduce

the girl you'll marry.

Stop saying that!

Give me a break, ok!

lt's been over a year now.

Tell them about our culture!

My ass is between two cultures.

Mine isn't too white to f***!

Don't talk like that.

Know what? Just go...

Go home to Mom.

The fancy miss

who lives in an apartment

that Daddy and Mommy bought

is lecturing me?

Like a social worker?

You're talking crap now.

Get out!

l'm not talking crap, you are!

You piss me off!

You spat on me...

l don't need your pity.

Men of today, warriors of yesterday.

One has a hat, the other doesn't.

One has a big nose,

the other has a tiny one.

One has a moustache,

the other doesn't.

He has tiny ears...

Calmly proceed

to the emergency exit.

Aim, leave your things. Hurry.

You know her?

Yeah, she's my mom.

That's when l feIt something new

inside of me.

I must be in Iove.

WeII, I think so.

You come here a lot?

l come every Saturday.

l never saw you before.

l come now and then.

Are you coming next week?

No, l'll be at my dad's.

We're going to the French Open.

To the final? You're lucky!

Yeah, l hope Nadal

wins again this year.

He's your favorite?

He's the world's best player.

Look, Mom gave me this.

lt's Gran Pa Doutau.

He's one of the last slaves.

But not anymore...

- Who is he?

- My brother.

lsma?

No, my other brother.

He's awake!

l'm going.

Your pals are dumb.

Sorry about last time.

Are you on MSN?

No, but you can give me your cell.

My dad's getting me one.

Frequent absences

Little cousin!

How's tricks?

See you round.

Say hi to your mom.

"Isma's screwing up,

"he even stoIe a car."

Djibril...

Instead, I said...

Have your balls ever ached?

Don't make fun of me.

l'm not making fun of you.

- What's her name?

- Why?

You saw a hot chick

and walked like a cowboy after?

Her name's Ocane

but l'm not into her.

She's white?

Yeah. Why?

No reason.

l have to go.

lf you're into her,

be honest with her, ok?

l'm not into her!

"Ocane, how can l lay

my words at your feet

"With your breath of roses sweet...'

"Madam, you'll read my letter

with your lips."

Mom! Why don't you ever knock?

What for?

What if l was naked?

l've seen every bit of you, sonny.

Present for you...

- From Dad?

- Yes.

Let me see.

He's spoiling you.

Just wait.

Mohawk's gonna be way jealous.

He's going to be jealous.

Going to be.

After two months,

he wants his cut.

Kids today, bro.

This kid has balls.

You're good.

You're hot, huh?

- Why'd you hit me?

- Coz you're hot.

You're here to get your cut, right?

l brought the deal.

l never asked you anything.

You said you were looking

for a deal.

You listen in now?

So how do you know?

l hired you to listen or to watch?

To watch.

You wanna be a hot shot?

l dunno.

You dunno?

He doesn't know.

Refresh his memory.

Are you a hot shot

or not a hot shot?

Well?

Hurry it up!

With the poem in my backpack,

l was sure of myself.

I'd Ioved "Cyrano"

and I hoped she had too.

She'll come over and say,

"Machine Gun, you're so cute."

And, wham, we'll lock lips.

before running your 60 meters.

ln alphabetical order.

Melvin, get ready.

Go on, but hurry.

Always at the last minute...

Let's go, Melvin.

Stop!

That's good Aim. 9 seconds 06.

"How can l lay my words at your feet

With your breath of roses sweet

"At dawn,

l seek the pathway to your heart

"How l'd like to walk

by the water with you...'

- Bastard!

- Bastard yourself!

Son of a b*tch!

You won't make me eat pork!

The whole thing's a bet.

Want me to tell everyone

What's going on here?

You're at school!

You don't fight here! Come on,

let's sort this out.

She's not a junkie, she's sick!

Nothing to say?

Go apologize!

No.

Sit down.

l won't apologize.

You have no choice.

Go say you're sorry.

Hi.

What d'you want?

Sorry about what l said.

l didn't know your mom was sick.

All right.

Where're you goin'?

Home.

Stay if you want.

l admit it, l screwed up too.

You love Ocane?

C'mon, admit you love her.

Yeah.

What'll you do now?

No idea. She won't talk to me.

Get her a present.

Babes like presents.

like last week at the library.

So go back there.

No, she's at her dad's in Paris

to go to the French Open.

So go there too!

Seats for the final cost 100 euros!

Don't worry.

lt'll be my treat.

Gimme a break...
