They're looking for work.

To be honest, I don't really

need any new staff.

I heard you left in a caravan.

Yes, but we still need a bit of money.

It's not a caravan.

Maybe I can have you remove root balls.

It's tough, but it's paid per piece.

The big guys do quite well.

For the rest, you'd

need to be qualified.

Will that do?

- Yes. Right?

- Yes...

Can you start tomorrow?

- Yes.

- Yes, tomorrow.

- Well, then.

- Great.

I never thought I'd be the one

getting you work one day.

- Do you want to eat, Luc?

- No, thanks.

- Are you sure?

- Yes.

- That smells good.

- I told you...

All right.

Well, then...

You can still come sleep at the house.

We've started our journey, Dad.

It'll be easier to go to work

together in the morning this way.

Well...

Have a nice journey, then.

Thank you.

- Come on, Simon. Let's go to work!

- Ok. I'm coming.

Move the branches aside,

then apply pressure to the tree,

and hit down hard.

Watch out for your feet.

And turn at the same time.

Okay?

Hey twins, wasn't there

a tie with those outfits?

This one has a thick root.

That's it guys. If you work well,

you can do about 30 an hour.

So, do the red ones, okay?

Sorry. Here, it's better.

Sorry. Here.

Great.

How many did you do?

I don't know how many I did.

- Ten?

- No, more than that.

You did seven.

No way, not seven.

- No way.

- Well, I counted.

- You counted?

- Yes.

I kept getting big ones,

so I obviously did less.

At that pace, unemployment pays better.

It'll be okay.

It's a question of technique.

- Technique?

- Yes.

What about strength?

Hey, I'm just kidding.

You just won't be able

to jack off for a few days.

Oh, guys.

Maybe I should get some groceries?

- Yes.

- See you.

What happened?

- Why don't you come see us?

- Calm down. I'll explain.

We'll have a coffee. It'll be okay.

Are you really happy?

Yes, I haven't felt like this in years.

Years.

Will you still stop by to talk?

Mom, I've already left.

Yes, well...

you've "left"...

Come talk to your dad, anyway.

Tell Dad I'll pay him back.

- Ok?

- That's not it, though.

What is it, then?

I have nothing left to say.

I'm happy about my life. I feel good.

If he thinks this sucks,

what can I do about it?

All right.

Should I take your laundry?

Mom, I've already left.

Julien!

Julien!

- Julien!

- What?

- Time to go, isn't it?

- No.

I'm on a roll.

- How's it going?

- Fine.

- I did 286.

- What?

It's your first time.

- That's enough from you.

- 286 is good...

Don't let him screw with you.

- It's okay.

- Technique, huh?

He's really good at that. Here.

I've other plans.

- See you Monday.

- Other plans?

- Can I screw with you?

- Leave him alone.

- Hurry up.

- Know how many I pulled out? 843.

I can pull something else out for you.

You're a pain.

If you add 50, I'll take care of you.

- You? I don't think so.

- Oh, come on. See you.

- Here, for a whore.

- It's all for you.

- Oh yes!

- I'll keep your money.

- Really?

- Get out of here.

- How are you?

- Fine. I did 416.

Not bad for a first time.

You type really fast.

It's true. Not bad at all.

It's for your sake.

It'll shut back up someday.

I'll be fine.

You must have a dildo, then?

- Bye.

- Don't you?

- Hey Mounir.

- Hey.

Shoo, flies. Don't bother me.

- See you Monday.

- Bye.

Give my regards to your dildo!

I haven't felt like this in forever.

This is a good fatigue.

A true, proper one.

Oh yeah.

What do you think of Valrie?

- Don't you like her? She's not bad.

- What?

Valrie...

Valrie, the secretary.

She's not bad. Don't you like her?

She's a bit old.

Exactly. The old ones have experience.

I'm sure she's wild in bed.

What did you say?

I said I'm sure she's wild in bed.

- Yeah.

- Like, "Oh!"

- Oh, Julien!

- Oh, Julien. Yes.

Damn, Julien. Show me your huge spade.

Oh yeah, Julien.

Oh yeah, unearth my roots, Julien.

- Oh, Julien's big fir tree!

- You like that, eh?

Give it to momma.

Oh yeah, oh yeah.

That big fir tree.

Oh yeah, Julien. I'm coming.

Oh, Julien!

It's done guys.

Great, thanks.

Simon, it's done.

Thanks, Gerard.

There you go.

- 1,950. Is that right?

- Yes.

Thanks, Gerard.

Don't you go without paying the rest.

- No.

- Or I'll see your parents.

No, don't worry.

Excuse me.

Hi Dad.

Okay, see you later. Bye.

So, baby, away on our weekend?

I have to stop by my dad's.

- No, Julien...

- It won't be long.

It isn't plugged in, Dad.

It says it isn't responding.

It should say it isn't plugged in.

You should've told me it said that.

I would've explained.

You can print now.

I'm going to eat. I'll do that later.

I can eat here if you want.

No, go on.

Go on.

Let's hit the road.

Let's go.

I'm sorry. I may have to stay and eat.

Oh no.

Oh, come on, he's really insisting.

- Don't wait for me. Go for a drive.

- Great, a drive.

I won't be long.

There's wine if you want.

Dad...

I'm allowed to have an occasional glass.

Do I need to keep an eye on you now?

No. See, I haven't drunk anything.

And I was sure you'd

come by this weekend.

I got the results from my check- up.

Oh right. Sh*t.

Well?

Supposedly, everything's fine.

Why "supposedly"?

I don't know.

What do you mean?

Do you feel anything?

I don't know.

They ran some tests

and said you're fine, didn't they?

It would seem so.

"It would seem so?"

What does that mean?

You saw what happened to Aunt Lise.

They said she was fine,

but died 2 weeks later.

Cut it out...

She died 3 months later,

and it was 10 years ago.

Things have evolved since then.

Really, stop it.

It's only been five years.

What?

Nothing.

They ran some tests and

said you're fine. So, it's fine.

You'll have one glass, but...

- There you go.

- Hey.

- Cheers.

- Hold on.

That bugs you.

There's hardly a drop in it.

Here you go.

- I waited all afternoon.

- I know, I know.

- Why don't you answer your phone?

- Hi, Julien.

Oh, hi.

How's it going?

Fine.

Ready to go?

What did you do earlier?

Well, we went for a drive...

It was nice.

- Put down your toast, Robocop.

- I surrender.

- You want war?

- No.

- You want war?

- No.

- Run for cover.

- Toast!

You promised.

- Oh no. No way.

- Please...

- You promised.

- But...

Pretty please.

Please.

Okay.

- That's it.

- It's beautiful.

Thank you.

Who is it by?

- Me.

- No...

From when Stephane,

Julien and I were in a band.

It was our first original song,

and our last.

Why?

Well, because...

We started composing,

then we had to begin our studies.

We saw each other less and stopped.

The typical story.

- That sucks. You have a great voice.

- Thank you.

Many bands don't have

songs that are that good.

You do it on the first try,

and then give up.

It's a pity.

Will you see her again before we leave?

No, I don't think so.

- Come on. Let's stop playing.

- No, let's play.

- Let's watch the game.

- No, let's play.

- It's almost over.

- No, I'm beating you.

You always play with your dad.

You're overtrained. You're doped up.
