Give him a big hand!

This is the life!

Man, you're totally crazy!

Your table's more fun than ours.

How do you do? I'm lrne.

I'm lrne. Sorry, Gilbert.

We would like Iran

to take part in the summit

on nuclear security

but we believe

you're continuing with your program.

All that

flies.

He means "lies".

Iran for day ever took

rock the nuclear of Europe

tip instruction of eggplant

which always know

impossible

information always!

No doubt but we need

to examine the report in detail

before giving you an answer.

I know you floor

parity Iran levitation

of the promise of us.

Of course.

Just so we agree:

did anyone understand a word of that?

All right, ma'am.

I understand.

Try to pay when you can.

All right.

Forgive me, ma'am.

I won't bother you again.

Goodbye,

thank you for speaking to me.

Want us to send her flowers too?

This isn't the Salvation Army.

Be more aggressive.

I understand.

- Forgive me.

- Carry on.

This place is pretty stuffy.

Never been before?

Of course I have.

It's always seemed stuffy.

And... the men are all waxed.

Gilbert, all men wax these days.

My guys have to be fully waxed.

- Fully?

- Yes.

- We're ok.

- Thank you!

All right.

Going to the pajama party?

What pajama party?

The party of the year.

To celebrate the platinum album

by the kids' music star, Mimi Zozo.

With guys from her label?

Yes, all in pajamas.

It'll be wild!

Can you do me a favor?

My friend Thomas

is a musician and needs to meet

record label guys...

Carl, the A&R guy, invited me.

He signs new artists.

I can ask.

That would be...

Lamb saut with flatbread?

And the layered beef.

Enjoy.

"Layered beef"?

It's a goddam hamburger!

It's a hamburger!

Look! What did you get?

Lamb saut with flatbread.

A gyro! This is crazy!

L'['S a gyro!

This guy farts

and calls it a perfume!

Pay within 5 days

or this will get nasty!

We've been calling for 3 months now.

The bailiffs are getting your file.

I don't want any more excuses,

underst...

All right.

Put your mom on then.

I'll call back, it's ok.

Hello, I'm calling

about a message concerning

some money I owe you...

All right.

I can't afford to pay you.

My pension barely covers my rent

as it is.

What am I supposed to do?

I'm very well preserved

and can pay you back in another way.

I have a lot of experience...

Gilbert, you jerk.

Sh*t, I thought you'd fallen for it.

I work, ok.

We have a pajama party tonight.

A pajama party?

Want to meet record label people?

Today at 11:
44 pm...

Hi, it's me. I'll be home late.

I'm snowed under with work.

But I'll be up early

to visit that apartment. Love you.

That's Mimi Zozo.

With the label boss.

The juice isn't fresh!

Sorry.

You didn't like any songs?

No!

That's Carl, the head of A&R.

lrne, how are you?

It's great to see you.

Glad to be here.

Brought some friends?

Yes, meet Gilbert and...

Thomas.

Hi.

When can we get together?

Coming to Marrakech?

The parties are going to be wild!

I don't think I can make it.

Let's all go.

All together. It'll be my treat.

You guys should... He makes music.

If lrne's sending you,

call by any time.

What kind of music?

It's hard to define...

Pop? Folk?

Pop-folk? Love it.

It's the big sound right now.

Barefoot guys with guitars...

The public radio lefties love it.

It's what I'm looking for.

- Really?

- Sure.

I like this kid!

That's awesome.

That hurts.

Let me show you around.

This place is huge. It's incredible.

Good morning.

Come in.

You wanted

a herringbone parquet floor?

A dead ringer for Patrick Bruel,

the singer.

See how sunny it is?

Yes, it's very bright.

It faces southwest.

You can open the window.

The building's mostly offices.

So you can make noise at night.

So we can go for it?

We can party, we can sing...

"Sing Ourselves Hoarse"?

Anything you like.

Just how "Hoarse"?

Well, until you're hoarse.

You can change this.

I prefer a big table.

- Handy for "Poker"?

- I'm sorry?

A big table's handy for "Poker".

No doubt.

The kitchen?

It's perfect.

A small private courtyard.

In summer,

you're allowed go down there

and have a picnic.

You say you're allowed.

Who's allowed?

"Who's Allowed to Do That"?

Everyone.

The tenants, owners, everyone...

All right.

You need a reply within the week?

Within 48 hours.

I have a lot of offers.

I already love the place.

Yes, me too.

Sorry, but "I Have to Say it Again".

I "Love" this place.

Ok, I get it.

The Patrick Bruel song quotes.

Goodbye.

- You look like...

- I know.

You couldn't resist?

No. A double like that

is a gift from God.

You can't waste it.

I have to salvage things.

We can't miss out on this place.

You understand?

Where will we get the money?

We'll need a deposit.

I'll ask Dad

before he blows all his money.

His money...

- Are you listening?

- I'm listening.

Is it wise to spend everything?

Don't you start too!

Hi!

Hi.

What's going on?

That's the fourth one.

It's your shorts.

They're really gay.

San Francisco rollerbladers

wear them!

And what do they do

after rollerblading?

Jerk.

You waxed your legs?!

Not just my legs.

All guys wax downstairs now.

Yeah?

Let's go. They're making me uneasy.

Hi.

How's it going?

Where have you been?

At work. We're busy.

At work?

So explain this.

"Letter of dismissal"?

It must be a mistake.

They send mail out all day.

I'll get it corrected.

Glad you told me.

Why are you so distant?

- What aren't you telling me?

- Nothing.

Are you seeing someone?

You're crazy!

Gigi?

Who's Gigi?

Who is it?

A guy from the office.

This late? Can I answer

to tell him you're busy?

Sorry, it's not Thomas.

He'll call you back.

I'm sorry.

I don't know why I did that.

You're just never here

and we have a decision to make.

What decision?

About the apartment.

We call my dad for the deposit

and go for it!

Right, the deposit...

I wanted to talk about that.

After all, the money was set aside

for Burkina Faso.

Shouldn't we persuade your father

to return it

to the Burkinians...

Burkinees?

What do you suggest?

Burkinonians?

For the apartment, I mean!

We wait a while.

I'm onto something.

I have to show you.

If it works,

we can buy 30 apartments.

I love you

I L-O-V-E...

Y-O-U

You love me

Y-O-U L-O-V-E M-E

That's your song?

What do you mean?

You plan to sell that?

- You can't be serious.

- You hate it.

That's not the problem.

Just get real.

It won't pay for anything.

I love the fact

that music's a passion for you.

You don't believe in me.

I do.

Others do too.

The pop-folk sound is huge right now.

But without my woman's support,

why bother?

Hold on.

Didn't we say you'd get a job,

we'd find an apartment,

we'd get married and move on?

I've had a dream all my life

and you just sank it!

And the wedding?

It's off.

Everything's off.

She doesn't believe in what I do.

You know...

Marriage in itself isn't a bad thing.

Sharing with someone,

taking decisions together...

It brings balance.
