Chris Venturi walks. Global.

This is hot. I kept it for you.

That's the token of your love?

He tries to walk, falls.

It's great.

He's with... orderlies.

He learns fast.

But they catch him. Awesome.

Scuzz.

Excuse me.

Come on.

- You're too good for that.

- Too good for you.

Passed up a fortune.

What is she, stupid?

She's right. She's a good person.

Picture's horrible, we're monsters.

- Screw the money.

- My 100,00?!

April Fool's. Who's she anyway?

Plenty of agencies. Feeding time!

Great. I can carpet

the living room.

Idealists like you

make for human progress.

Could we go see my wife?

She must be worried,

it's been 3 days.

You got a wife?

And a son.

Well, he's her son...

A wife and a son! So?

You could explain it to her.

You got a gift for gab.

Careful of my ingrown toenail.

People actually read this!?

Here comes Superman.

Over there.

Funny, looks like

the magazine guy.

Stand your ground.

What did you do?

I haven't slept!

I called the hospitals, the police.

Where were you?

He couldn't say he got fired,

he won't talk about his mistress.

This is my new boss. I got a job.

Doing what? Wrestling?

Photography. He has talent,

takes great pictures.

Great pictures? That's a laugh.

In Morocco,

he couldn't focus or frame.

Our readers love that.

Out of focus is good.

Here, this is for you.

Where'd you get that?

Yeah, where?

It's for home.

You have a home?

A wife? A child?

You don't have amnesia?

It's a new beginning.

I can't talk now...

So shut up. I'm keeping my job.

Your foot, please.

Frank, we got to go.

What's Pamela Anderson

really like?

Plastic tits, silicone lips,

I.Q. Of an M&M. Why?

We going?

Never happy. No job, no good.

Job, still no good.

There's no pleasing you.

Sh*t!

Just yell as you go,

never explain.

All alike.

Couldn't happen to you.

Your man can't leave.

You got no man.

Why do you say that?

Keep her in line, huh?

Hey, Tonto, celebrities go there.

Your wife could tip us off.

No, never. She's honest.

Not one word.

About Bndicte, either?

Her neither, no.

What's with that cash?

The Fox pix. Here's your share.

A thousand? Putting me on?

Yeah, just like you.

- That all right?

- Take it all.

All of it?

Leave the jack and the spare.

We'll get caught.

Sure, with that arsenal!

Claire, I didn't take that picture.

Those shots on the boat

were great. Half naked,

I looked like a centerfold.

My son was thrilled,

my family very happy.

I'm wasting my breath.

You'll never change.

Ballbusters.

No, she's right. Who is it?

Nobody likes us!

- Ever hear of MC Watson?

- You kidding?

'84 Olympic champ,

the title in '90.

- '84 to '89?

- He fought.

'84 to '89 prison, for rape.

Lost his title to Lopez in '92.

Boom! Gets it back in '94.

Zapped him. 1 st round,

34 seconds, KO!

In '95?

Don't tell me.

The Nigerian?

The Englishman?

New York girl.

Settled out for $4 million.

He's here.

We go make him or not?

He'll make us - for lunch.

I didn't call you.

- MC Watson.

- Right, sure.

You're the photographers?

From Magma. Nicole Plissier.

Michel Verdier.

My asst., Frank Bordoni.

Claire Rolland, press agent.

You're early.

We'll wait. Might miss the cover.

You know Americans - very pro.

MC's a darling,

a big teddy bear,

but he's got a short fuse.

OK, let's see.

Set up on the terrace, that way.

I'll see if MC and Kim are ready.

They have major jetlag.

Set up.

We can't do that kind of picture.

- I can.

- You're a photographer?

Don't, he's a monster!

What you got?

Nothing.

Gotchy!

Light's good.

MC and Kim are coming.

Everything ready?

AOK.

MC Watson...

- Speak English?

- No. Can't you tell?

No fancy stuff. Available light.

Take the meter.

Get me a reading.

4, 5, 5, 6, 6... 9!

What are you talking about?

Hang on, wait a second.

I'm with the photographers.

Hi, Nicole...

Get the bags.

Hang on, I'll go see.

Excuse me, who are you exactly?

Oh, it's the trouble-maker.

We'll work this out, MC.

Take a hike.

Got something for me?

Stay out of my life.

You know who I am.

Don't play surprised.

Got yourself a slave?

Jobs program working out?

- What did I do?

- Nothing, like always.

Who is he?

Nobody.

See that?

What is it?

Switched them. We're rich.

I could've been killed.

No, you're the best.

- You got him good!

- Shut up.

B*tch.

Get the focus right.

How's it look?

Fine. Like a hospital.

Let's see pain.

Look at me.

Now that hurts.

He f***ed with the wrong guys.

Frank, I'll get fired.

Evelyne, this is a fortune.

You'll come back as a customer.

What is this? Cruella's coming.

Enough. Take your buddy,

and get out.

This is my business.

Frank, take your buddy

and get out.

We're done, let's split.

You leave here,

and you leave the house.

It's over.

You're a child.

I already have a child.

I'm your wife, not your mother.

You're not a couple.

Oprah Show over?

Can we go?

Really want me out?

Leave.

We're gone.

Let him stew.

Don't call, he'll call.

And we'll tell him off.

You just wash, or did you

eat dinner in the bathroom?

Guy's naked,

you can see his thing!

Wops. They're show-offs.

Next to them we're dwarves.

Nothing better to wear?

Kidding? This is my favorite.

Daniel Bravo autograph.

What exactly are you doing?

My portfolio.

Shaping up, huh?

Look silly to put pictures of me in?

My favorite.

Naturally. It is my 1 st photo.

Awesome, huh?

Yeah, awesome.

Scuzz - that neckbrace.

You've hit bottom.

I drink coffee, too.

Can't carry 2 cups?

I don't even know

where the cups are.

Over the white, cold thing.

Where you go when you're hungry.

Don't go empty-handed.

Been 2 days, feels like 3 years.

Take a picture.

Move it. Dd's waiting.

How are you, Dd?

Frankie, baby, how are you?

- Lose a bet?

- No, why?

Well?

I got something for you.

Something big. MC Watson.

You joking? We just made him.

He'll kill me.

I'm talking big.

Not Macarena dickie peanuts.

Man's engaged.

He's sweet on my waitress.

She'll help us sting him.

Bndicte, Frank's girl.

Not my girl.

10 calls a day.

10 calls a day?

This guy's full of it.

Girl and me, the set-up, 180,000.

No go. Watson's a psychopath.

Worth 2 or 3 million. World-wide.

180's nothing.

Fork over your half, Frankie.

I'm broke.

The money on Venturi, Watson?

My wife.

Right. Give her the money.

Live on my food.

You guys should at least butt-f***.

You got all the disadvantages.

We a go or not?

Course we're a go!

F*** that, Frank. I decide.

OK, we're a go.

'F*** is he? 4 hours late.

- That's stakeouts.

- It's muggy out.

We stay here for years?

Shut up. It seems longer

when you talk.

Could've got pix in Saint-Tropez,

5 mins. Away.

Of what?

I don't know. Johnny Hallyday.

Bernard Montiel.

Montiel's like Goofy in Disneyland.

Anybody can get a picture.

40 thousand guys taking pictures

in Saint-Tropezze.

Here, we're all alone.

You learn that much?

Just work your camcorder.

How come I don't get a camera?

What is this thing?
