Coursier

Synopsis: From multicultural Paris to designer Paris, Montmartre to the Champs-Elysées, sleazy sidewalks to high-end galleries... Watch out! Sam the courier is a man on a mission! On his scooter, Sam breaks every rule of the road to make good on the "express delivery" promise of the courier service he works for. But however hard he tries, Sam never gets a bonus from his boss, never beats his slicker colleagues and never gets past his Dad, a cop who books him every time. All Sam has up is Nadia, and she will turn on him if he doesn't show up for her sister's wedding. Trouble is, Sam has one more delivery to make and his day has just gone from bad to worse...

Got him.

I ice him here in public?

We sit tight till he has the package.

Meet me at the bike.

Got ya.

COURSIER:

He's logging on.

- Connected.

- Send him the assignment.

Tomorrow 8AM. St. Georges parking garage.

Loki, we're here just in case.

We'll lie low till tomorrow morning.

Sam, where the hell are you? You're late!

I had to make a detour to avoid the protest march.

Not my problem. Before 6, it's ultra-express.

I'm nearly there, boss.

Nearly? You're not there yet?

Move it! You're not paid by the hour.

Pli Express means just that. Express!

Hear me?

Where are you? Do I hear the engine?

I'm doing my best!

6 o'clock, Sam.

Or it's free.

Excuse me...

Great!

4th floor.

Hold it!

Pli Express, Zero Stress!

Yeah, sure, but it was for 6PM.

Everybody's left for the weekend.

Sh*t!

I'll take them anyway, seeing as it's free.

Of course.

Here...

- Evening, sir.

- Dad?

Documents, please.

You do traffic now?

I do traffic when I want if you're on the road.

Documents, please.

License, insurance.

What a joke...

- License, insurance.

- Thank you, sir.

Dad, it's me, your son, Sam.

You seen the state of your tires?

- Bad boy!

- Not the tire routine!

Bald tires are dangerous.

- So, two one-way streets...

- Go on...

One sidewalk...

- Have fun.

- 6 points.

It's for your own good. You'll thank me later.

Have a nice day, sir.

Have a nice day, dad.

So I'm doing a wheelie.

I keep it up for two miles. I drop it down, bend,

and I say to the boss,

Those exhausts are dynamite,

but with the Nitro accessories,

the Zoomer ain't a scooter,

it's a fighter plane!

Know what he says?

He grabs me, looks me in the eye and says,

Ice, the freshest courier in Paris

has the freshest scooter in Paris.

And who's that? It's the Ice Man.

The smoothest dude on a scoot!

I was wondering if maybe it's possible

to have an Express bonus this week.

Get real, Sam. What's the big idea?

You want 100 euros, a coffee? What else?

You take me for George Clooney?

Some people do.

What's so funny?

Check this out...

Yeah, I can see it now.

100 euros bonus? Not even 50.

I ruin myself to upgrade the workplace.

Especially your office.

How about upgrading the scooters?

Go easy!

You know how much that costs? A month's salary.

Yours, not mine.

- You were saying?

- It's just...

- What'd you do with 20 euros?

- 100

Think of the tax. Big money, big worries.

Ice got 5 Express bonuses this week.

I gotta stop you.

Ice is Ice.

The bottom line?

I won't pay you more.

I won't pay you more, 'cos you're not worth more.

- Seriously?

- Seriously.

Thanks...

for nothing.

Eco-bikes, The Way Forward!

The Scooter's Green Future

Alright, Sam?

- You get your bonus?

- No.

Is that all?

Come see me some time, I'll teach you to ride.

Bring Nadia. Let her see a real man.

- Forget Nadia, OK?

- Give her my love.

What's up?

What's your problem?

- What are you playing at?

- Get lost!

What's wrong with you?

You wanna get fired?

I don't know...

- What do you think?

- That's so them.

No, they're too tight-assed for that.

Actually, we'll take this one, please.

You lost out. You promised to nail the bonus.

Just wait till I'm my own boss.

Tomorrow, 9:
30?

Thanks, bye.

In my company...

The Green Riders, I know.

- We'll use electric scooters.

- Zero pollution

Zero pollution, that's important.

Act today for a better tomorrow.

What matters is the idea.

- And I had the idea first.

- Quit dreaming.

You an eco-warrior? You don't even recycle.

So what?

What's the yellow garbage can for?

You see.

Where you gonna get the seed money?

You can't negotiate a 100-euro bonus.

You can't do it!

That's different. Don't get wound up.

Forget it.

Nadia...

What's bugging you, baby?

- Is it Anne-Marie's wedding?

- No.

Stop it, I can see that it is

- It's not the wedding.

- What then?

Yes, it's Anne-Marie's wedding! Don't you get it?

Not even 30 and my sister has everything.

- Now she's getting married.

- To a dentist!

That's your dream guy?

Sure, why not!

They'll have beautiful offices, a beautiful home

and beautiful kids...

With beautiful teeth! That's what counts.

Are you serious?

Hi, mom.

No, we won't forget the wedding cake.

Don't worry.

Big kiss, bye.

Baby...

Goodnight, honey.

Goodnight, Casper.

You have 24 hours.

Louise, I'm on my way.

You swap at Hotel du Louvre. Confirm.

Confirmed. I'll be right there.

Meet you there with Loki.

Sh*t!

- I can't do it

- They'll never believe it.

- Who won't believe what?

- Nothing.

That you're your own boss.

- What did you tell your family?

- It's cool.

What did you tell them?

The Green Riders, that's the plan, isn't it?

So it's not like a lie. It's the truth, on credit.

Why'd you do that? You airhead!

I haven't patented the idea. Anyone can steal it.

I keep telling you, patent it.

You see?

Don't get on my case.

Look at my idea for photos on phone cards

to North Africa,

the camel with the red scarf at Xmas.

It's lucky I patented it.

Bill Gates is kicking himself.

What's wrong?

Let it go. She's uptight.

I want to help, not get bawled at.

It's cool, and thanks for lending us your car.

- You'll fill her up?

- Sure.

It'll never fit.

- Good as new!

- Thanks, Rico.

Don't bother helping!

We shoulda got it delivered.

Why waste good money?

We can do it ourselves easier and safer. Toff?

Hold on, I'll help.

Slight problem.

Yeah, it won't fit.

- It will fit.

- Sam, it won't.

- Don't get upset, it will.

- I look upset?

A tad.

So what do we do?

- Eat the top layer.

- What?

That's so funny.

It won't fit!

What? No, nothing major.

A small complication, that's all.

Anyway, the cake's for this evening, huh?

I'm just kidding, mom.

Okay.

Tell Anne-Marie to...

chill out.

I'll call you back.

See, it fits.

What are we waiting for? There are no witnesses.

Not until he has the package.

Pli Express, Zero Stress

- No one'll notice the difference.

- Sam, please.

Hold this a second.

Gently!

- Sorry.

- It's really heavy.

- Yeah, boss?

- An emergency.

Today, I can't. It's Nadia's sister's wedding.

It's a tiny little job. 10 minutes tops.

Very important client. A new client.

I give it to Ice or you want the bonus?

I'll be right there.

- Whaddya mean?

- I got my bonus!

It'll only take me 10 minutes tops.

10 minutes?

It's taking too long.

I'll go up, you block the exit.

Hi!

Pli Express.

You called us up?

You called?

Great offices.

What business you in?

Personal delivery.

5th district. Who's it for?

Ask for Mr. Loki.

Give it to him...

and no one else.

Is that clear?

Crystal clear.

Thanks.

Have a nice day.

No, I just picked up.

I gotta deliver to the 5th. 144, Rue Mouffetard.

A courier has the package.

- Grab him. I'll take care of Loki.

- No problem.

10 minutes or I'm coming over.

I'm on my way.

What's he want?

Maniac!

Are you nuts or what?

Freeze!

Loki got away.

Sh*t! The courier shook me off.

We gotta find him fast.

He had a sticker on the scooter.
