Happy End Page #4

---

That's not a kind of question to asks, sir!

Don't you need any money?

- Everyone needs money.

- Absolutely.

So?

I don't understand you, sir!

How long have you been coming here now?

Oh! Over ten years.

Almost twenty.

You should learn how to count.

I might be a trash, but I know what I say.

But I'm not that old!

You could do me a favour.

Really?

I'll pay you a decent amount.

Well?

Stop this comedy!

I'm sorry.

I'm stuck here.

I drove into a tree, but I wasn't

clever enough to do it properly.

- But sir, they told me it was an accident.

- Yes!

That kind of thing doesn't look too good.

My son is such a fool.

I asked him to. He's a doctor.

it would have been so simple for him.

But he's pig-headed.

Last year, I was in Zurich.

They refused me.

I seemed too healthy for them.

Now, I'm a prisoner in this bloody chair.

Do you understand?

Even I can't even run away.

If you get me a pistol..

And some bullets..

It won't hurt you.

But sir..

A shotgun or a big enough quantity of

tablet would work too.

I've got money here.

I can make you rich.

At least rich enough so you don't have to

carry on cutting the hair of elderly fools.

So?

Sir!

I don't know what to say.

How am I supposed to get you that

kind of thing? I'd be suspect at once.

- My God!

- And why do you want to do that?

Is that you take me off guard.

What would you do in my position?

I don't know. But you feel well, right?

Are you as nave as all that?

Or are you just afraid?

Of course I'm afraid.

How could I do something like that?

I can't do that.

No.

- honestly.

- Don't scare yourself shitless!

Marcelino!

Forget about it.

I was a fool to ask you.

No.

I can't.

Feel free to carry on.

Thank you.

Thank you.

We are touched. Thanks a lot.

Dear friend..

I'd like to thank you warmly, on behalf of

our family for your acceptance..

at such short notice and in such numbers,

our invitation to celebrate with us

dad's 85th birthday.

As some of you have no doubt heard, the

last few weeks have been pretty turbulent.

But tonight we're all glad our birthday

hero has recovered so well and so quickly,

and we are full of hope that he

will soon be back to full health.

After all, what is it you always say..

"Weed always grows!"

And on top of that, we have some good,

to rejoice..

Many do not know, but after Paul's birth,

Our new comer.

our family has grown even larger,

This time with quite another

unexpected addition..

Eve..

Thomas' daughter from his first marriage,

who has come to join us..

and share our lives.

Eve, we're very happy to have you with us.

So. Now I don't want to take up

any more of your time.

Miss, I'd like to thank you

with all my heart,

for your awesome playing.

I know you have given dad great joy.

After such spiritual pleasures, no need

to keep you any longer from earthly food;

The nice weather is with us.

The air in the garden is exquisitely sweet

As if it was a special request

for dad's birthday.

The champagne and buffet are waiting.

I wish you all a wonderful evening.

- How are you?

- Good! Very good!

I'll remove my plaster in a month.

It's very kind of you to come.

The theologian, who says he tries..

- I'm glad I find you here.

- I am here for this evening only.

I came for weekends, but..

- I'm in Germany during the week.

- It's magnificent.

Since then?

Since..

Saturday, it will be just 3 weeks.

It's ridiculous.

No, why?

- Do you think that's stupid?

- No. There is no reason to think so.

- So it's possible?

- I'll arrange that for you.

- Yes.

- I don't know what to say.

Tell me. Shall we go and plunder

the buffet, cousin?

If you'd like to.

What is there? Don't you feel hungry?

I know. I know.

Let's go. Come on.

The pool.. it's up to 8 or 9.

- Yes, in the luxury category.

- It will go down thanks to the English.

Places which face south

don't make me comfortable.

- We sweat and incapable of thinking.

- Good idea

But she is Valerie, don't you,

the one with the loud voice.

- I can't comprehend..

- She sold it all hoping to get children.

She is not able to swim anymore because of

Rheumatism.

What would you like then?

I'll manage it myself.

How old are you?

Thirteen.

That's it. Well..

Excuse me..

Look what tempts you. I'll get a drink,

then come back.

I think I am hired because of I qualified.

Are you in job because of quota system?

Are you where you are because you're

competent, not because you're a woman?

- Are you that nave, or just acting so?

- Look who is here!

What a nice surprise!

Jamila and here rice dish.

You should all try it.

It is a real pleasure.

Jamila is our Moroccan slave.

She is a real pearl

For us she is our gift from the sky,

she cooks like Alain Ducasse.

It's a matter of fortune that

we have her to serve us.

Bravo Jamila!

Would you come, love?

It'd be nice if you'd congratulate grandpa.

Come here.

.. that operation is planned to get place

in 2018, in autumn or summer...

.. I am just..

- Dad, may I interrupt you for a moment?

- Yes?

Eve would like to say something to you.

Yes?

- Happy birthday.

- Thank you.

Well? Aren't I getting a birthday kiss?

Who are you then, sweetie?

Good morning ladies and gentlemen,

Let me thank you all for coming today.

First of all, may I just once again

express my clients' regret

over the unfortunate accident.

As you know, the official investigations..

that began immediately after the accident

didn't indicate to any culpable conduct

or fault on the part of the firm of

Laurent group.

So we may assume the public

prosecutor will soon will close

the file of criminal proceedings

which were automatically commenced.

I would also add that, in my view,

neither is it possible for my clients

to be accused of any civil wrong.

However, naturally Mr and Mrs Laurent

are fully aware,

quite apart from the tragic

nature of the incident,

the difficult financial situation

arising for your family,

particularly in view of the

fact that your young children

who will be dependent on

you for some years to come.

In theory,

you could now try to claim whatever

through the courts.

That is your right to do

for compensation on the basis

of civil responsibility,

However, as I already said,

I do not consider that this

would have any legal basis.

Nevertheless, our clients are willing to

support you in this difficult situation,

and pay you a substantial

sum totaling EUR 35 000,

in order at least to lessen

your financial distress.

Though they are not obliged to do that.

Certainly, you don't have to decide at

once whether or not you accept this offer.

so you avoid court proceeding later.

You can simply discuss that with

a lawyer of your choice,

and then kindly get back in touch with me.

As for the incident that took

place in front of house,

which we found a witness for it,

Mrs. Delorme,

she also resident at the same address,

The public prosecutor need

not hear of the matter.

And it is up to you to let
