Didier Page #4

---

Don't provoke me.

I'm sorry. I should've warned

you but didn't have time.

- Do you want a drink?

- No, I'm good.

That guy is nuts.

I'm going to take Didier home.

Where is he?

Well no...because Didier...

he's not here.

Because Coco, my aunt's kid is here.

So I took Didier to a friend's house.

Who?

A friend who lives in the country. You

don't know him...Herv. He's very nice.

- When can I get him back?

- Whenever you want.

I'll call you or you call me. But take your

time. I've become very fond of him.

So you two should live in

the countryside together.

OK, I'm off. I have a taxi waiting.

I'll call you tomorrow for Didier.

Yes, OK.

You really know how to

make my day.

I know you're sad, but how can

you expect her to recognize you?

Didier, you're not a dog anymore.

You know that. You don't walk on

all fours or lick your privates anymore.

Yes, I know...but...

OK, for Annabelle, I'll just

tell her you're dead.

You got run over, or

something like that.

No, if you die she'll kill me.

I'll say I saved you.

You're a soccer player now.

A great soccer player.

And that's what we're going

to tell Richard tomorrow morning.

So you have to be good.

Very good, huh? Because

Richard is a very very mean.

This isn't going to be easy.

Catch it, catch it.

Basically, that's my proposition.

And why would he play

for me for a year?

He owes me a favor. It's private.

He agreed.

And because he loves to play.

He loves it.

For him, money isn't important.

Nobody thinks

money isn't important.

He does.

But where is he from? I've never heard

of him. What's his name? Az...Aza...

Asanavisus. It's Lithuanian.

Oh, Lithuanian. That's all

we needed.

At least he's white.

That's not bad.

Richard

I guarantee you

he's not a loser.

He's a rare find.

He's instinctive, inventive...

and he could destabilize the other team.

I've seen him in training and

it's true that he's different...

but surprising.

And he also knows how to

get inside your head.

You said the same thing about Baco.

No no no...They aren't in the same league.

Didier is an exceptional player

He's talented...He has eyes

in the back of his head.

At the end of the season I'm

sure you'll want to keep him.

Because the other teams'

negotiations will be violent.

Richard, there's no work to do.

I'm not saying he's a soccer

genius and there's nothing to work on.

But this guy, he really

understands the game.

Are you OK?

It's true, there are a

ton of bugs here.

Come on, Richard. You're not gong

to listen to this crap long, are you?

Nadia! You left Camille

alone in the pool!

I turned my head for 2 seconds!

And you guys! The 2 of you

didn't even move!

It's over. Daddy's here.

Thank you.

- He comes to practice tomorrow.

- OK

Is it just me, or does

it smell like wet dog?

You catch the ball and pass it to Merenguez.

Head passes.

This is a gift.

He can't stop acting silly.

Jean-Pierre this is the best

work you've done. Good job.

He's active, generous, not selfish.

Yes, hes different.

Just dont get too involved

with his training.

It might annoy Kamel,

it's his job.

Give me some tips and I'll

pass on the message.

I know Didier well-

If we want to use him we'll have

to hurry to get his league papers.

Why don't we have a quiet

dinner together tonight?

Don't watch this drivel.

You stay here and

guard the house, OK?

I'll be back around midnight

Its 9 pm now, which means...

3 x 7... 21 hours for you to wait.

I left you a can of food on the

table. Good dog.

It's me!

Anyone home?

This is mine and it's NOT a rag.

That's mine.

Excuse me.

Good evening.

Didier, that's right?

We danced together at "Chemise".

Maria.

Jean-Pierre isn't here?

If you see him can you tell

him I cam to get my things?

We don't smell butts.

Oh, you were eating.

Did Jean-Pierre cook

that for you?

What is it? Can I try?

What is that?

You must NOT eat that.

You can NOT eat that!

Even re-heated it's infectious.

Do you speak French?

- The house wine? As usual?

- Yes please.

It's nice here, don't you think?

It doesn't seem like much but trust

me it's very nice. And very good.

I used to come here

often with Jean-Pierre.

Jean-Pierre likes meat.

I prefer fish.

Actually, I'm a Pisces.

Chicken sauteed with prawns...

Where are you from exactly?

Weshh, where is that?

Ahh Wales??

Well, welcome.

Would you like to

taste the wine, sir?

Let me see.

It's a little dry, but it's good.

A toast?

How do you toast in Whales?

What do you say in English?

Cheers?

It's good, isn't it?

I'm going to the ladies room.

He has no papers whatsoever?

After Lithuania, he landed

in ex-Yugoslavia.

He lost everything there.

It was horrible. I don't have

all the details but it was...

It's terrible what has

happened in ex-Yugoslavia

Nothing has changed.

Who can help us

with the paperwork?

It's much more complicated

than a naturalization.

We will have to see.

We will fix it.

A toast to Didier and

to Fabrice getting well.

- And to Wednesday's game.

- Yes, yes.

To Jean-Pierre, Coco and Charlie.

Can I call you Charlie?

It happens to be my name!

Can I call you Richard?

As long as you're not whispering

it softly into my ear, it's fine.

Richard, I've always wanted to tell

you how much I love your suits.

Jean-Pierre, didn't I tell you that?

I love his suits.

It's true. I think

they're classy.

- And psychologically, Didier is...

- Normal.

It's hot.

Does Jean-Pierre take you out?

Take you to see things?

If you feel like going out this weekend

there are some great flea markets.

Don't look at the mess.

I have to clean up.

I used to have a roommate...

Oh! An Irish girl, actually.

Oh but she was always depressed.

Once wanted to stick her

head in the oven.

But we don't have an oven...

so she decided to swallow

a glass of bleach.

I got sick of it and threw her out.

Thank you.

Have a seat.

I'll be right back.

Come here kitty. Hello you.

Her name's Bianca because before

I had a cat named Bernard.

You know, Bernard and Bianca,

from the Disney movie.

But he died.

On my birthday, what a gift.

Later.

Sit, sit, sit

What should we drink?

White wine?

In France there's a saying:

"White after red, you're body's dead...

Red after white,

everything's right."

It's a lovely red from a

chteau in the Loire Valley.

I have no idea.

So now, I live here.

Well, sometimes here...

sometimes at Jean-Pierre's.

Wow, you're lucky.

Usually she's pretty wild.

How do you say "cat" in Welsh?

Cray, like crepe?

How guttural

Bless you.

Are you okay?

Is it the cat?

Are you allergic to cats?

Lie down, breathe.

Don't move, I have

something for that.

Where did I put it?

Don't worry, it's just an allergy.

This happened to a friend once. He

swelled up like a balloon. How horrible.

And after taking this, he was fine.

Better?

Are you cold?

You're nose is freezing.

What is Jean-Pierre doing?

Hey guys.

What do you call

2 holes in 1 hole?
