Fonzy Page #3
You don't deliver fish,
you keep it. Very handy.
I keep the fish,
don't touch it, it's mine.
It's mine, it's my fish.
Go ahead,I'm sorry.
Tea for me, handsome.
Coffee, please.
Yes, all right.
- Apple brandy!
- One?
Coffee or apple brandy?
Two coffees?
Stay at the bar, sir.
What'll you have?
A snappy explanation.
I'm the barman.
You're not, I'm the boss.
Let me explain.
Hugo had a big audition.
He can look for work.
Show some sympathy,
it's his big break.
- I am sympathetic.
- So?
He's no good, he's just no good.
They never pick him.
He's no good.
He's always saying it's his big break.
He's a good kid
but he's got it all wrong.
It's my fault. I told him to go
and lent him my van.
So tell him
he's no longer a barman
and lost his income
because of you.
What's wrong?
I lost my job, is that it?
Yeah.
- I got the part.
- You did?
I got the Pa"-
Thank you, I got it.
Awesome!
Here.
I had a revelation.
I can't be a father to 533 kids,
it's impossible.
It's impossible being a father to four.
But...
I can be their guardian angel.
Their guardian angel?
They need me to watch over them.
They need a guardian angel.
As their biological father,
that's my responsibility.
So you're saying
that your mission on earth
is to be a superhero for 533 kids?
Not a superhero.
When you watch over your kids,
do you wear Lycra?
Not a superhero, a guardian angel!
OK, sorry, no Lycra.
So you have wings and play a harp.
Know what, Diego?
Menial alienation is the way to go.
I don't suffer from mental alienation!
- Again.
- I don't... Read my lips!
I don't suffer from mental alienation!
When we're in court
say it exactly that same way.
I haven't slept for four days,
I've never been so happy.
I never thought
Each dirty diaper blows me away.
and four times a day, I tell myself
'He does the world's best poops'.
That's so touching.
Your brother wants parental leave
so he can admire his son's diapers.
He does beautiful poops, see.
Parental leave is a legal fight.
If it's a legal right...
I had three kids
and two hours after they were born,
I was here serving fish.
Maybe that's why
they don't recognise you.
Diego was the most sheltered
of the three of us.
Look at the state he...
Maybe, but he's the one
Dad made the most of.
See how close they are now.
Time together
creates a quality relationship.
And you can't get back lost time.
Time is money anyhow
so make an effort.
You have to have kids, Diego.
Hows it going?
It's my first ultrasound today.
Cool...
- I need a friend, not a father.
- I am your friend.
I want things to be clear.
Crystal clear.
Move it, I drank a litre of water
and can't pee until it's over.
Want to know its sex?
I'll ask for a girl.
- What if they've run out?
- I want a girl!
OK, it'll be a girl.
Those are the feet. You see them?
Look.
Can you see them?
You can see the feet
nice and clearly.
That's a cross-section of the stomach.
It's perfect.
I can't see a thing.
It's the emotion,
we're very sensitive.
Bullshit! It's not that.
This thing isn't clear.
It's like a map,
I can't get my bearings.
Never mind, I have a GPS unit.
Look.
Look here, this is the head.
Can you see the head?
- You can't see it?
- I can't see a thing.
Cut it out!
I came and sat here for hours yesterday.
You did?
It's a nightmare.
They don't listen.
I like order, I like discipline.
What'll I do
with a kid who won't listen?
- I think you may be a bit up-tight.
- I'm not!
I am?
A bit.
I've been watching that one
10 seconds
and I feel like cuffing him.
Elsa, I...
This is the best thing
You think so?
I think you'll be a good mother.
Really?
A mother...
who's attentive and gentle.
You think so?
Since I don't trust you one bit
I'll declare you the father...
- You will?
- Hold on.
On probation.
Father on probation?
Or a trial father if you prefer.
You've no room for manoeuvre.
And will our child have to call me
'Dad on probation'?
No.
And will I be obliged to wear
a uniform different from normal dads?
I'm tempted...
Don't get carried away.
Let's go!
This sh*t will never pay us!
I'll kill you!
Sh*t, they're full of weed!
Mouss, take the bags!
Sh*t...
We hit the jackpot!
How does Nathan know you?
I'm a family friend, his godfather.
OK.
They're great kids.
- Looking for Nathan?
- Yes.
He's in another wing.
Kevin will take you.
Will you lake the gentleman?
Go on.
- I go with him?
- Yes.
- On my own?
- Yes, on your own.
Here's Nathan.
Thank you.
Going already?
Slay.
His family doesn't visit often,
he's very lonely.
No, I think I'll be going...
Just go and talk to him.
Just talk to him.
You did that well.
- I'm sorry?
- You did that very well.
After the legal report
you'll have the opportunity
to ask questions.
But you may intervene at any point,
it's not a problem.
You may feel
like sharing something,
anything to do with the proceedings
if you want to change things
or improve others...
If there are things that don't suit you
or that you don't feel comfortable with.
We can talk about it.
So I'd really like you all
to give your opinion.
It will help us move ahead
in the same direction
and make the suit as precise as possible.
Marie, you want to speak?
Yes, I wanted to tell you all
I feel like a painting,
half color, half black and white.
I'd like to complete the painting.
So I can grow up, thrive
and know my biological father.
Even if he's a maniac,
even if he's totally nuts.
I need that.
Thank you.
Bertrand, go ahead.
I'm in love with a girl,
an AID kid like me
and we want to have a baby.
Hearing we may have the same donor,
making us half-siblings,
that cast a chill.
We don't touch now.
My parents say
they had me out of love but sorry.
They may well love each other
but I don't owe them life.
I'm really happy to see the group
Getting bigger.
Whatever the judge decides
we'll have gotten to know each other.
It's awesome to think
we're all brothers and sisters.
Franck'?
What are you doing here?
How are you?
Actually, I'm the father of Nathan.
He can't be here, he's in a home,
he's handicapped.
OK.
Sybille, this is Marcus.
- Franck'?
- Hugo!
How are you?
What are you doing here?
This is Marcus.
He's a tourist guide.
Sybille, a pizza sweepstakes winner.
Hugo works in a bar near my place.
I'm the father of Nathan.
He's in a home for the handicapped.
- You're a father?
- Adoptive.
Hugo worked in a bar near my place
but he's an actor, a great actor.
Yannick taught me to parachute.
Hugo worked in a bar near my place
but he's an actor.
Sybille wins pizza sweepstakes.
Shall we go?
Mum, Franck got me to that audition.
Delighted to meet you.
My mum.
That's great.
I'll leave you to get acquainted.
