Copacabana Page #5

No, the problem is

the minute I say "timeshare"

people take off.

People are suspicious.

Do you hear that?

"People are suspicious."

It's your job to persuade them,

to demystify

this new way of vacationing.

So you have to move your ass.

How do you think

it happened in Portugal?

In the Canary Islands?

It didn't happen like that.

They had to convince people.

And persevere.

But there it's sunny every day.

Here, two weeks a year.

Wasn't it sunny today?

I know it's off-season,

there aren't many tourists,

and that timeshares

have a bad reputation. But!

Babou managed to send us 17 people.

Do I have to draw you a picture?

Wait for me!

I'm just leaving now.

Can you do the shopping

once in a while?

We can eat out. Or order in.

- Have a nice evening.

- You, too!

Keep up the good work!

Okay, I'll go to the supermarket.

What do you want?

Chicken nuggets. And as a side dish?

- What's that? Looks good.

- A pepper omelet.

- How do you do it?

- There's not enough for two.

I wasn't trying to mooch.

I just wanted to chat.

But if you prefer,

we can keep ignoring each other.

I'd prefer that.

In that case, take all your photos

out of the living room.

This is a common space.

You've appropriated it.

After grabbing the big bed.

I may be moving

to Amandine's apartment anyway.

Funny, with her,

you've got lots of things to share.

But you act like I'm a b*tch.

Let's not go that far.

We just don't hit it off.

You can't have everything!

You can't be my friend

and teacher's pet.

So that's it.

We have to choose sides.

Sharks on one side,

Jets on the other.

It's a gang war.

Watch your omelet.

When they burn,

they're disgusting.

- Follow me!

- Where?

You can stay in one of the studios.

But we can't leave our dog.

Bring him. Keep him on a leash.

Hurry!

We'll go through the garage.

It's less risky.

Make sure it's back in order by 8.

- Okay.

- You have a cell phone?

- An alarm clock?

- Yeah.

If anybody finds out, I'm screwed.

- Can I count on you?

- We promise!

Kurt, are we in agreement?

You'll be out by 8 AM?

No problemo.

Here's the key for the garage.

You can return it tomorrow.

That's so nice.

It's only natural.

Got a joint, Kurt?

Yeah.

The fat bourgeois

is slumming tonight.

You do this.

Babou, you have to...

Your phone kept ringing.

I answered. It was your daughter.

Sorry.

Good night.

Hi, Babou! Have a nice evening.

What if a client

stumbles over your cables?

From now on, when we give tours,

I want all this out of here.

We're not playing leapfrog

in the halls.

Okay, you can go.

Am I right or am I right?

So how'd it go today?

- Twelve people.

- Not as good as yesterday.

But that's not bad.

Good news. The Irish couple

you approached yesterday

came by today.

They're taking 2 weeks in April.

- I get a bonus?

- And Katia. She gave the tour.

That's great news!

Headquarters.

Yes, Stephan.

It's going fine...

Everything okay?

Here's your key.

- No problems this morning?

- Smooth as silk.

- The garage was empty.

- Perfect.

Thanks again. We even took a bath.

Great! I have to go.

Hold on. I rolled you some reefer.

In case you feel like chilling.

That's sweet.

- Can I help you?

- No, no...

I didn't know

if we'd finished our conversation.

I think so. I confirmed the bonus.

Yes.

That why you're happy?

No, I just spoke to management.

They gave me a week off.

So I can go skiing.

- You like to ski?

- My boyfriend does.

Now I can go with him.

Listen, you won't broadcast

that you saw me dancing around?

I don't have many friends

around here.

Oh, I forgot!

I don't want to overdo it...

But could I have a small advance?

My daughter's coming

to see me on Sunday.

Is 200 okay?

More than enough, yes.

Again... Mum's the word!

- I went through Brussels.

- I'll pay for the ticket.

- Forget it, Mum.

- No, Esmerelda, today's on me!

- You won't believe what I did.

- What?

- I didn't buy a ticket.

- Stop!

I can be rebellious, too!

Give me a kiss!

I'm proud of you.

I wish you were that happy

about my wedding.

I told you

I'm happy you're getting married.

Now if you'd just

invite me to the wedding!

My in-laws think you're

on the other side of the world.

Say I came back

for my daughter's wedding!

They'll understand that.

- You really didn't pay?

- That amazes you.

It's freezing.

I need another sweater.

Let's stop by my place.

I'll lend you one.

They've thought of everything.

Except the faucets.

That's the cold water,

that's the hot.

For warm water, you figure it out.

What do you tell clients?

I don't give tours.

I just solicit people on the street.

In this cold,

you have to beat the bushes!

Thankfully, I have my little tricks.

Do you wear support stockings now?

What a horror! My old roommate!

She must have forgotten them.

Too bad for her! In the trash!

Let's go.

I reserved at a great restaurant.

I left my money in my suit.

Wait here, I'll be right back.

- I have good instincts.

- I thought she was nice at first.

You're not too sharp.

She's obviously a real shark.

I'm onto those dames.

All smiles, then you get taken.

That's Babou!

All she cares about is making money.

So she wants us out of her way.

She's merciless.

They learn that in business school.

- She never went to business school.

- So she says.

I say she's got tons of degrees.

That said,

she was very secretive.

Jacques thinks she had a business

that went bankrupt.

And now she's going into real estate.

In fact, she's a mole.

Checking out the competition.

Oh, hi!

Have you met?

That's my daughter, Esmerelda.

- Shall we?

- I'm ready.

Have a nice day!

That's my old roommate.

The short one.

Nice place, isn't it?

- Are we waiting for someone?

- I invited some friends.

Here they are. They're really nice.

They leave for England today.

I wanted you to meet them.

- Sophie's your age. Cool, huh?

- Cool.

Excuse me, may I have

a bowl of water? For my dog.

- Right away.

- Thank you.

- This is great.

- It should be.

They say it's the best in town.

It's agreed.

Order whatever you want.

It all looks delicious.

Can you afford this?

Don't worry.

Order whatever you like.

It'll be a change

from those disgusting waffles.

Open your mouth, Kurt.

I never noticed that tongue ring.

- Did you see that?

- I saw it.

- Isn't it annoying?

- No, it's pleasant actually.

Wasn't it painful to get?

No more than a blood sample.

The next day's hard,

when your tongue swells up.

You can't talk.

You take liquids or suck on ice

to bring it down.

I had a chocolate sundae.

But I forgot about the nuts.

I immediately confused

the nuts with my piercing.

Can we order?

A guy picked us up

but he went wrong way.

It took us two days to go 150 km.

When we got there,

they said we needed a pass.

- That cost 100 euros.

- That stuff kills me!

Bands don't make a cent

on those concerts.

It all goes to the record companies.

Anyway, we didn't let them

take us for suckers.
