Good morning, Louise.

You should have started 9:00.

- What happened?

- A problem with the car.

This shouldn't happen.

It's the second time this week.

Only ten minutes.

That's ten minutes too much.

Can I go?

Wait.

Do you never apologize?

Not that tone please!

The next time you'll

learn to know me.

This is still tame!

There won't be next time.

Let's hope so.

And improve your appearance.

Customers can see you.

Mail!

Thank you.

Nicole?

Can you take it please?

A glass of red wine.

Here you are.

Put the coffee

on my account?

Just remember it's 35 now.

That's not too much.

Don't worry.

You should have come the 15th.

Really? Is that new?

Nadia,

can you get the folder?

You didn't answer.

Is it new?

I have no idea.

Why did I come then?

No apartments for me?

Sit down, please.

Come back in two weeks.

Can you write that down?

New, I haven't used it.

- What is that?

- Silver.

And the glasses too?

70 for everything.

Check or cash?

- Not more?

- No.

Those are the rates.

And if I add this?

20 .

20 ?

At least 90.

All purchases are checked.

- Check or cash?

- Cash.

Thank you.

Sign here.

Occupied!

Occupied!

What are you doing there?

I'm coming.

Come on.

We are in the top three.

Won.

- How much?

- Not the whole. 40- 50 .

Yeah?

Can you get it out?

I don't want Nicole to know.

C'mon...

I won.

- Leaving?

- Yes, for work.

- And you?

- No, not yet.

-57

- Thank you, Nicole.

Next time I'll buy.

Alright.

That's not all, Nicole.

You're like my daughter.

You could work anywhere.

Would you rather

work in an office?

And sleep with the boss.

How long have you had a conflict

with the landlord?

How much is it?

Alright.

13,000?

I thought so.

What's this, 140 only?

Sorry, I can't afford more.

We agreed about 350.

Do we need to haggle

every time?

I can't promise anything.

As you wish.

Mme. Wimmer, it's simple.

Either you pay or we'll

open a procedure.

- How are you?

- Alright.

Remember me?

Yes, I remember.

I'll pay next week.

- Your credit is exhausted.

- Yes, I know.

Hurry up. If money's not coming,

I'll also have problems.

- Don't worry, I'll pay.

- But when?

Sorry, phone...

I'll be back.

Where's the lighter...

I'm fine. And you?

Your father?

You want me to meet

your father?

Can't you do it yourself?

Dunno. After work.

Why the hell do you

want that dog?

It needs to be walked,

and all the food... What?

I don't know.

Call me,

I'll invent something.

Eat together?

At Pepom's?

Good.

See ya.

Should we talk a little?

To say what?

I've nothing to say.

I must go.

As you wish.

Damn!

Sh*t car!

Are you alright?

I've 3 rooms left to clean.

So what?

He said 20 minutes per room,

but I need 40.

You'll learn.

I really need this job.

It'll work out.

Tears won't help.

Come with me.

Take the dirty towels.

Wipe the water

from the sink...

and the bathtub.

That's it.

The main thing's the hair.

Men have always

hair lying around.

You put the soap,

fold the towels,

and voil.

In 3 minutes it's all done.

Everything else is fast done.

Got it?

No, just no music...

- You're finished?

- Not yet, thanks.

Damn sh*t!

It looks okay.

Maybe it's...

No, not that.

Should work.

You won't cheat me?

Thank you, thank you...

- See ya tomorrow.

- See ya.

Don't drink so much.

Stop it!

- The battery is flat.

- What?

- May I look?

- Don't get late for work.

I'm on the night shift.

Well, everything's okay.

Here's some crap.

What is it?

It's the head gasket.

Is it serious?

Well... possibly.

I can't afford the garage.

- But it is necessary.

- I can't.

Have a light?

I can't help, but a friend

of mine can get the parts.

Really?

Give me your number.

I'll call you.

06...

I don't remember it.

It's 06...

4302...

- How long will it take?

- As long as it takes.

Don't worry,

it's just a car after all.

- Here, now you have my number.

- Fool.

- Will you come to the races?

Okay? -Okay.

I'll push, and you gaze.

Alright.

Jerome! Abdel!

C'mon guys.

Abdel.

Brake off!

The door!

Close the door!

All together...

C'mon.

Well, how are you?

It's all right.

Even ahead of schedule.

I've time to clean behind.

Fine. Initiative!

Come with me then.

I can't pay you for 30 hours.

I know, I just need it

for a payment.

I can work overtime...

Where did they come from?

This month, 14 hours.

We'll do breakfast and cleaning.

Isn't that okay?

Wait.

Good. Alright.

Sorry Cherie, what did you say?

No, it's okay.

Again the same.

I don't know how to operate it.

More pastis.

Same for me, Nicole.

No, I'm crying.

I thought you'd be there.

My colleague is there.

But you know me.

It makes no difference.

I got a letter.

I thought I got an apartment

but it's an interview again?

Please let me pass.

I can't start over again. The whole

story once more. Impossible!

I'm busy.

I have a meeting.

- You need to follow the rules.

- Is this a game?

Excuse me.

I don't want to talk.

I need an apartment.

A f***ing apartment!

- Mind your tone!

- And it will help?

It just takes time.

- Be patient.

- I've been waiting for 6 months.

Be less arrogant,

that will help.

You can't do that!

I can't take it anymore!

Sh*t...

Sorry. What time is it?

3:
00.

You're alright?

Your money lies

on the table.

Bastard...

I came for the dog.

- She couldn't come herself?

- No, I guess.

Where is it?

I don't have time.

Honey, can you get the dog?

Thanks.

How is my stuff?

You need to get it soon.

You can keep it.

Or even burn.

Thank you.

Give it to Jessica.

I will.

What else do you want?

You left me, Louise.

Did I have a choice?

- Wait...

- No, hands off!

- Wait!

- Hands off!

Hi doggy.

Did he get food?

I have no idea.

How are you?

- Alright. Thank you for going.

- You're welcome.

Did Dad say anything?

He doesn't understand why

you don't want to see him.

Want a drink?

Can you take him home?

I've to go back to work.

Don't you have five minutes?

Do it yourself.

Alright.

- How's the job?

- Okay.

Won't you go back to school?

What should I learn?

And what do I live on?

You're a good student.

Your father can't pay.

Take advantage of it.

Do you think so?

You deserve the best.

Here.

It's from your father.

Thank you.

I'll move in with Sebastien.

So quickly?

- Don't worry, I'm old enough.

- Really?

You're mad at me?

- When shall we meet again?

- Call me when you have time.

C'mon doggy.

I'm sorry.

Hi.

How are you?

You're dressed up today...

- Sorry, I didn't call. I lost

your number. -Alright.

Your son?

- Jeremy, say hello to Louise.

- Hi Jeremy.

What do you want?

Hello.

You... stay for dinner?

No.

Can you call your friend

about the car?

Sure.

I want my dad.

No, wait here.

Hi Brahim. It's me.

Remember, my friend's

car broke down?

Can you come over?

Dunno, let's meet there.

Wait, I'll ask her...

When can you go?

Not in the morning.

Not in the morning.

You can't earlier?

Thanks bro, I owe you one.

- Sunday afternoon.
