Maybe, without Suzanne...

Gilbert!

Save that for others.

I know.

She's my daughter

but marriage can be hell.

I hope it works out.

What's that noise?

This conversation

isn't going anywhere.

You're not serious?

I was about to say the same thing.

Let's forget it.

- Whose is it?

- I got it just for this.

Let's take your mind off things.

Sir...

A&R is waiting for you.

All right.

You stayed in?

No, I was at "Le Baron" all night,

then came straight here.

Sh*t, my appointment.

Have a seat.

Wanna do lunch?

Sure.

What do you fancy?

Any ideas?

Let's think and talk in 10.

I'll brainstorm it.

I love, I love chocolate

But I love opera too

This'll be huge!

Who consumes the most music?

Kids.

But they download it illegally.

What is never downloaded?

Classical music.

I take an opera has-been,

remix him with Mimi Zozo

and we go platinum.

It'll sell by the box-load.

Brought your songs?

Here you go.

I don't get it.

You told me it was pop-folk.

What can I do with this?

I want to sing that song.

It's good. What is it?

His demo.

I thought it might work for Mimi.

I love it.

What's your name?

Thomas.

That's Mimi's next single.

Actually, I want to keep this song

for my album.

What? It's not for Mimi?

I don't know what he means.

Write another song for yourself

but give us this for Mimi.

When can I sing the song?

- We'll work it out.

- Give me the song!

Or I'll sign with Universal!

Let's talk outside.

We need this song.

She's rejected everything else.

What do you want in return?

I wanted that song for my album.

And I saw Iggy Pop's signed here.

I'll introduce you to Iggy

whenever you want.

We'll do your album too.

But we need Mimi's new single fast.

Know what?

We're celebrating in Marrakech.

We'll shoot Mimi's video there

and we'll see about...

about your album.

I cherish that song.

I sang it when I met Lola.

I don't want Mimi Zozo murdering it.

We'll go to Marrakech anyway.

We'll find a record label

without cloth ears.

Why won't my card go through?

Maybe you've bled Burkina dry.

Sh*t. You think so?

What about lrne?

And you?

Screw Marrakech.

We'll find another label.

You say that

but it's a great opportunity.

A hit song

will be good for your album.

That's the way Gainsbourg did it.

He wrote for others,

then did his own album.

He didn't write for Mimi Zozo.

He wrote for France Gall.

Listen...

We go to Marrakech, we party,

you work on your album.

It's perfect.

Ok, you lose one song

but you'll write others.

They adore you.

Why would they murder it?

You know what?

I swear to make sure

they change nothing.

Not the lyrics.

Nor the rest.

Sh*t, We'll go Wild!

Cut it out!

You just can't stop.

You, me, your sister, your mother

and your grandmother

Our flight's in 3 hours!

Plenty of time!

I'll put the bags outside.

Lola?

Going away?

Honey, what are you doing here?

Are you ok?

I'm ok. You redecorated?

I have something to do.

I'm going out, out of here.

You left the music on.

I'll turn it off later.

What brings you here?

I wanted to talk.

You understand these things

better than Mom.

Why won't you let me in?

Got a mistress in there?

A mistress!

No way.

Back in adolescence.

Everything's fine.

I kind of wanted to

take a step back. It's good.

Is it temporary or permanent?

I'm weighing things up.

I'm 50.

When you wake up in the morning

and you realize you're 50,

it's as if you've missed out

on your life!

That sounds familiar.

- What?

- That's what I want to talk about.

Thomas.

It's over between us.

I can't believe it!

What happened?

My mind is totally boggled!

He had a kind of meltdown like you.

He wanted to be a singer

and said I couldn't understand,

that I didn't know the "in" sound...

I don't know what happened!

That's crazy!

Sh*t, I can't believe it!

Me neither, Dad.

Everything was good.

I'd found someone who put up with me.

Can't you call him?

Seeing as how your situation

is the same...

Of course. I'll try to call him.

Heard from your mother?

She's rushed off her feet.

Rushed off her feet

with her work, you mean?

Isn't that Thomas' guitar?

Yes, the one he recommended.

I got myself the same one.

Sorry, I keep seeing him everywhere.

I miss him.

That's his!

I liked it on him

so I got one for myself.

It's like a Gaultier ad.

It's totally my style, right?

I love men...

I can hear someone!

It's the radio.

I hear a buzzing sound.

The radio's playing up.

It was to tide him over.

I said he could come

and get a change of scene.

How long has this been going on?

Is the music thing your idea?

It's worth looking into.

He could get rich...

You're both totally crazy!

Go ahead, act like you're rock stars!

Make him think he'll be big.

I'm sick of dealing with two brats!

What was that?

Nothing, just a draft.

Say hello to Kojak!

The selfish bastards!

I knew something was going on.

I didn't force him to get married

or find a job.

He did it all alone.

How can I do the summit now?

Honey, you'll find a better man.

The bastards!

I'm through with adolescents.

Enough.

I'm going to have some fun at last!

Go for it!

I feel just the same.

I want to go totally wild.

I'm going to hunt down some sex.

Ok, Mom...

43 emails. Come and see.

Want to hear Mimi's version

of the song?

It's very different...

We turned it into a hit.

Not letting Thomas listen?

No, I'd rather he focused

on his album.

His album...

Remember?

Carl, that advance you mentioned...

Can I get it now?

Here.

Thank you.

You no longer carry soybeans

from Malaysia?

These are from China.

Claude?

Suzanne...

How are you?

I'm fine.

Let me help you.

Do you have your car?

No.

I'll drive you home.

That's kind because...

Because it's some way.

Yes.

Exactly.

You look well.

I took you for your daughter.

Stop it...

Excuse me.

Hello. Here you go.

Sorry, I don't have any change.

Let's go.

Wait, madam, I'll help you cross.

Give me your bag.

- I'm delaying you.

- Not at all.

I'm over here.

Rue Chabrol?

That's not near here.

What did you tell him?

That Rue Chabrol wasn't near here

and to get a bus to Place Pri.

You can say "Place Pri"

in sign language?

Yes.

Jesus f***ing Christ!

This is the life!

Not a bad bike!

It's just like on TV!

Relax, guys. Party tonight!

A white Martini.

Hi.

Hi.

Can I buy you a drink?

Sure!

I'd love to have 12 euros

to buy a drink.

I've always dreamt of that

and you'll make it come true!

Excuse me,

could you hold my glass while I...

No problem.

What shall we drink to?

To tonight's worst pick-up technique.

Truth or dare?

My turn!

Carl said

he played you the song.

We're not talking shop tonight.

Here we go...

Truth or dare?

Truth.

No, dare.

Kiss each other on the mouth!

Wild!!

I'm not into nightclubs.

I work so much, I never go out.

A guy with a job!

I don't even know your name.

Romain. And you?

Lola. I'm warning you,

I don't want

a long-term relationship.

Just a one-night stand.
