- Gary, Alina.

- Be happy, both of you are beautiful.

What is going on?

It's an exercise.

4 times, it's a test.

5, a minor problem.

6, a serious problem.

7, a major problem.

- Don't cry, it's OK?

- I'm fine.

I will put it on your fingers.

It's ok, let go of it.

Do you know what would please me?

We will leave.

I will leave with you.

Put on your wedding dress.

- It is not done yet.

- I don't care.

Look how nice she will be!

It's nice, isn't it?

Put on the veil too.

- Like this?

- Yep.

You're lovely, so pretty,

a small cauliflower!

She's pretty, aunt Carole.

- Morali himself!

- I'm leaving.

- Bertrand, stay with us.

- I'm tired.

This is really embarrassing to me, Gilles,

It's bad what happens to your team.

What do you want to tell me?

That it's my fault?

- You think I need you to think that.

- Calm down, I never say this.

The room which remains open

is not regulatory.

Gilles is not responsible for the security

at the building doors.

- We were not even working there

- Forget about it

You stop recruiting little brats like that,

you choose your men.

What are you talking about?

What did you ask me?

You asked me to find kids.

I recruited the kids I found.

So why do you piss me off?

I didn't give a sh*t to train kids.

You will tell Graldine

I'm thinking about her.

Here's your bottle of water!

- We are leaving.

- Help me to put the hood.

- I don't know where is the hole.

- Let me do it.

F***, this thing is poorly designed.

- Are you crying?

- I'm not.

Do I ask you if you f*** Toni's wife?

What do you want?

It would piss you off

if Gilles and Toni learn about it.

- Mind your own balls.

- You would get quickly kicked out.

Am I talking about the blowj*bs

you did to Isaac?

It hurts to wait like an idiot.

You tell one word, I tell Morali

all the gear you steal.

You wouldn't do that.

If you do it

You don't know me.

- I swear!

- OK

How are you guys?

You are doing crosswords,

It must be bloody boring.

I conned you.

So tell me you are happy.

I'm happy.

- Who is the father?

- It wasn't planned like that, you know.

- I did everything for you.

- I know.

- It was not planned like that.

- Like that? You mean "with him"?

- I feel good with you, Toni.

- You feel good with me

With him, you are always scared,

your heart is racing, you are shaking.

- Don't shout!

- I don't.

You can't break with him just like that.

It's not enough to wish it.

Regarding the wedding, what do we say,

what do we do?

We don't say anything,

we just do it, Toni.

Keep me.

I will keep you forever.

We arrived.

We get out, we close the doors.

- It's all over my leg.

- Sit down, take off your overall.

I don't manage to take it off.

Sit down!

Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t!

It was what kind of radiated stuff?

F***, Gilles, it's all over your back.

F***, you got radiated

ten times more than me.

Do you hurry?

- I'm tired.

- You have to rest. Take this!

It will make me piss

and sh*t all night long.

You will close the door.

Take this. Come on.

- I quit, Toni. I can't stand it anymore.

- Don't you overreact?

- Tomorrow, you will visit your daughters,

it will boost you.

- Yep.

- You must miss your wife.

You didn't understand

that my wife left me?

Are you stupid?

Don't you see all my stuff in the car?

You think I do this to feel at home?

I'm not allowed to see my wife

or my kids anymore. My wife is right.

You pretend not to see it as everyone

but everyone sees it.

For me it's over, I leave.

I say this every year

but this time it's true.

It's not like before.

At your age, love is tiring.

At mine, it's everything.

Leave, Toni, you are still young.

What are you expecting?

You can't even have a child anymore.

- You're right, you should sleep.

- Don't you understand?

Tomorrow I won't be here anymore Toni.

Don't blame me!

I don't blame you.

I go to sleep.

He has a house 10 minutes from the beach.

I once already saw it.

I think he will lend it to us:

not in summer, he rents it, but in winter.

- We won't go anywhere, Gary.

- What?

We won't go anywhere.

I love him, Toni,

I'm going to get married with him.

What are you speaking about Carole?

You will marry him

and you are here with me

Don't look at me like that!

Make your choice, I can't

Yes or no?

No.

- Don't blame me.

- I do.

Gary!

Do you see the leaf, slightly higher?

Aim at it!

- Why do you follow me?

- A smoke?

- I don't have any.

- You have one.

- Leave me alone!

- I don't want to

- Go there!

- I don't want

- Stop bragging, it's not for me.

- You want a cigarette, go there!

This is for my cousin

who is 18 years old

Manda! Come in.

You know why you are here?

I received the result of

your dosimetric test.

Explain to me why you have 30 times less

on your notebook than on your test.

Not twice, not three times, not ten:

Thirty! Do you hear me?

Who squealed on me?

I don't give a damn about your stories.

- It's Toni? - So I'll tell you one thing:

you piss me off.

Between those who steal, those who expose

their dosimeter to take a leave

and the little jerks like you

who hide their dose

I have to do a report

and to lose one more employee.

And regarding the deadline, I'm f***ed.

- I didn't use my dosimeter once or twice.

- Take me for a jerk.

You want to get radiated, I don't care,

but remain below the limit.

I don't care getting radiated:

let me just finish my working period.

All I want is my money.

After I disappear.

Do you think I have any choice?

You finish your period and you disappear.

What the hell are you doing?

What do you want?

I come to pay you back.

Where is the money?

On the table.

- Carole, come with me!

- Gary, stop it!

What the f*** are you doing? Shut up!

You come to my place on my wedding day

and you want her to leave. Where?

It has nothing to do with you,

it's not against you.

You are going to smash my face in

and so what?

- Get lost!

- You won't become the father of the child.

Your balls are burnt, you know it!

Get lost, leave us alone,

do you hear me?

I will close your f***ing mouth.

Shut up!

That's enough, leave him alone.

It's f***ing nothing, ok?

And you, get lost!

You can all come back to your place!

What are you doing here?

To which team do you belong?

I'm speaking to you, look at me!

You need to be treated!

Go home now!

- Gary!

- Let go of me!

Wait for me!

Go away!

I was afraid!
