I swear I'll figure it out.

You really got sh*t for brains.

Come inside.

I've wasted enough time.

Apologize to Mom.

Apologize yourself.

It's hard to say because...

I like them both

but people know Rocky 3 more.

Eye of the Tiger is so you.

I don't think so.

Richard will use it

just to piss me off.

Well, in that case...

As long as you don't do

last year's robot.

That was one of Vadim's dumb ideas.

Born in the USA. It suits me more.

The United States means power.

Superpower.

It's up to you.

You choose.

Eye of the Tiger

or Born in the USA?

Eye of the Tiger is tacky.

Old-fashioned.

Born in the USA is good.

Depends what for.

Springsteen's better.

El Dorado... the American Dream.

That's me.

You got it wrong.

That's not it.

It's about Vietnam vets.

Against the war.

- Sure?

- Everyone knows.

You didn't know that?

I f***ed up?

No, anyway

I prefer Eye of the Tiger.

- What's it for?

- Posing.

The music counts a lot.

Vietnam doesn't work.

Good thing you told him.

Maybe he'll change it.

He doesn't like it

when I'm right.

Instead of the camera?

No, with it.

You got ID?

This is junk.

It comes to 950 euros.

950?

The guitar's worth 1,000.

That's our offer.

We pay by check.

Or cash, but we take 10%.

I want cash.

Start hunched up.

When the music starts, open up...

On the first "Tah" look up.

Then raise your arms

Front double biceps.

Stand up, roll the arms

and lay it on them.

What a ballerina!

Hands on your hips.

Upper back.

And hold it. Judges need time.

I know.

Then show your best profile.

Biceps, chest.

Head high. Proud.

I know it better than you.

And press down.

Then do most muscular.

One, two...

Smile at the public and the jury.

You can stay.

I'm all done.

From the beginning with music?

I'll never remember.

I said to pick the song.

We're behind.

- Hi, Richard.

- How are you?

I'm okay.

- Like it here?

- Yeah...

Why not try?

- Try what?

- Lifting weights.

- I have no time.

- How so?

With all the cleaning up...

Nice sport, you know.

You want the same brand?

Good business.

She's doing great.

Opening another one next month.

- Caroline, where's the BCAA?

- Behind you.

I spoke to Richard.

What did he tell you?

Your legs are your weak point.

Since your accident.

And that your back's a problem.

Not big enough.

Back size isn't what counts.

It's the girth.

You get a kick out of it.

You find it funny.

I didn't say a word.

What are his weak points?

He didn't say.

Because he has none?

So why does he always lose to me?

Where are you?

I'll meet you at the station.

In St. Etienne.

Look for a sign. It'll say.

10-15 minutes.

See you.

About Richard.

The underwear we pose in

gets covered in sweat and pro-Tan.

He saves his, unwashed.

Like hunting trophies.

Disgusting...

How do you know?

I just do.

You're just upset.

Not at all. I like Richard.

We're friends.

I'll pay. Let's go.

What a dick.

- Hiding out here?

- Not at all.

Yeah right,

with everyone looking for you.

Don't say you saw me.

- Where are you crashing?

- At my father's.

Got a father now?

Got the money?

- What's this?

- My father's place.

He has a gym?

Cool.

From your mother.

Your friends had to do that?

They didn't have to.

But it worked.

They're not my friends.

Next time

tell them to come see me.

Tell them yourself.

And for your brother

and your mom's neighbor.

Okay... and me?

Later on.

I came to the armpit of the world

for nothing?

All I have.

50 isn't enough for my gas!

I bought you presents,

took you out...

Restaurants, champagne in clubs,

you liked showing off.

You really are...

What am I?

Too big a wimp to say.

I don't want it to end badly.

Stay away. I'm sick.

- You're not cool.

- Yeah, and you are.

Get out. I'm in a rush.

Are you in pain?

I'm okay.

I was thinking,

with Championships coming up,

maybe I should stay and help

a few more days.

Same financial trouble?

On the contrary.

I spend nothing here.

With what you give me,

I put some aside.

Good.

- Thanks.

- You deserve it.

Minus the 20%...

That comes to 1,120 euros.

You save a whopping 280.

A nice pair of shoes...

What's more,

you get trained by champs.

Vadim, five-time world champ.

And Vincent Morel, Mr. Universe.

Real hotshots.

Take a 10-second pause

and do 12 more.

It's a gift. Here's my number.

If you call me and pay in cash...

I need a word.

We'll discuss it later.

Look around.

I need a word too.

About yearly discounts.

Stop that on the double.

Here it's monthly.

Come with me.

There are complaints

of locker-room theft.

Sh*t...

One day some weird guys lingered

in the locker room.

- Is it you?

- What?

Answer me.

- How dare you?

- You came and it began.

Great logic.

Thugs come here and you accuse me?

Answer my question. Is it you?

Of course it's not me.

How can you imagine that?

I do what you ask.

I clean up. I behave.

No more bullshit.

You have no confidence in me?

I'm disappointed.

Sorry, with my diet...

Diet or no diet, I'm your son.

You went overboard.

And you hurt me.

Sorry. Forget it happened.

You barely get by.

You can't afford another employee.

Is it really the right time to hire?

It's my son.

He already works there.

But under the table.

He has enough problems of his own.

I thought

if I found him a stable job,

it could motivate him to work.

It's not easy nowadays for kids.

I have children.

Why not a loan?

I'd advise you not to.

Borrow to hire, no way.

You have a 56% debt ratio...

The bank just refused a loan.

I wanted to build a handicap ramp.

And replace a couple of machines.

They wear out fast.

Cancel that loan.

What loan?

They turned it down.

There's nothing to cancel.

Change banks.

They'll say the same thing.

It's the economy, not the bank.

Banks won't loan,

insurers won't insure...

So I keep paying him

under the table.

I didn't say anything.

Hear what you want, though.

The only thing to do

is increase your capital.

How?

Get someone to invest in the gym

and you keep running it.

That's no problem.

The only solution I see

given your situation.

What are you up to?

I was in the neighborhood.

Got pills that give muscles

without any work?

You buy hash in a tobacco shop?

No? Same goes here.

Just checking.

Don't need my help?

No thanks, I'm fine.

Want to have a drink?

No, I have to go shopping.

I'll come along.

We'll have a drink after.

- I'm a stranger here.

- Poor thing.

- 20 breasts as usual?

- Yes, please.

And 20 for next week.

It's already noted.

Do you only eat chicken breasts

in this town?

And guys... physically?

You like them

more like my father or me?

Whoever can put up with me.

Are you grumpy?

Like my father, while you diet?

Not just while I diet.

I don't believe you.

Does your boyfriend say

you're grumpy?

What are you getting at?

Just chatting.

Getting to know each other.

Why accept my invitation?

You're Vincent's son.

He's someone I like.

That's it? Because I'm his son?
