for a job.

- We got to talk.

- Now?

This is kidnapping. If I don't come

back right away, you call the police.

What's up?

You can keep that job offer of yours.

I hate the way you act.

There's always a double message.

Smiling to all during the referendum.

Letting the union out was your idea.

You had to push it to the end.

The referendum was a preparation...

for negotiations. You used that

information to lay a tramp.

Let me finish. My referendum

gave you the right excuse.

It takes courage for a negotiation.

You don't have it.

Coward! When you have power

you have to take it...

instead of plotting.

- What are you talking about?

Enough. I know about the dismissals,

the close-down of welds, all of it.

Who told you?

I just know it. You don't have

an hermetic office.

Everything can be know.

I know who will be dismissed.

Your father. That's why I didn't

let you into that room.

I'm developing a retirement plan,

I will not fire him.

It's not just about my father,

that would be easy.

Don't be an arrogant. You'll soon

run a company like this one.

You'll make the same decisions.

That's what bosses do.

Now, you got vital information.

Be responsible.

As a friend, I beg you

don't do anything.

What are you doing here?

We'll eat whatever, never mind.

We want to be together for a while.

The kids will stay with the neighbors.

We want to go with you.

It's OK.

Alright. We are on our way.

This is the hard one.

Should we tell dad?

Or should we first talk to mom?

What do you make of it?

- I don't know.

- What's up?

- Granny will quick job.

Come on! You don't have to be

so depressed.

- That job was killing him.

- You don't know what you say.

- What if you lost your job?

- Better off!

I wonder how could he endure

He will take a holiday.

Stop it, this is family business.

It's good to see you!

Once a week is not enough.

I'd like to see more of you.

What did you do for diner?

You called so late.

I couldn't make a "couscous".

I can't stand the word

couscous.

We'll have a roasted chicken.

It's chicken or couscous in this house.

Careful with that.

- This is your third.

- That's right.

- How did it go this morning?

- Quite well.

You had to brief them this morning.

What did the boss say?

He offered me a job.

- Formidable. Why didn't you tell me?

- Let's have another bottle.

- No way.

They hire me, they fire you.

What do you mean?

They are taking out the machine, and you.

You're old. It's over. They fire you.

Look, dad. Nothing lasts for ever.

It had to end one day. You'll do some

gardening, you'll make your furniture.

We could go out, do things together.

You say you don't see your grandchildren.

You could pick them at school.

Frank, are you listening to yourself?

He spent 30 years of his life there.

And now they fire him?

It's alright. Great.

You could do this or that.

This is an outrage!

- Not now, Olivier.

- Then, when?

This is what your idiotic

liberalism does.

They didn't teach you that at school.

Look into my eyes.

You think your father will be happy?

No, it doesn't make him happy.

I'll call Arnoux.

I'm sorry about your father,

it's the same old song.

They wake up when

it's their personal history.

I apologize.

I'm glad that you have a more

realistic view now.

Now you know he's a moron.

Where did you learn that?

Is it a rumor?

- A document I read.

- A document proving that...

Sure. It's an official letter.

What do you want from me?

The union's credibility is null.

You made me look like crazy.

How could I address the people?

What do you need? I'm ready

to compromise.

Where is that letter?

In the Chief of Personnel's PC.

We could do something about the letter.

You know what you're risking?

- I know.

- Your job and your future.

Because directors talk to each other.

Believe me.

Leave us alone.

Mind your own business.

Get out of here. All of you.

You won't use my home

for union meetings. Out.

- Have a good night sleep.

- Won't you sleep at home?

I'll have a walk, then I'll go

back home.

- Don't argue with dad.

- He'll be asleep when I'm back.

Good night.

Wait!

Here's your sheet.

Come here.

Give me the other one.

- Did I wake you?

- No. Enzo isn't feeling well.

I'll give him an aspirin.

You want to have this one?

- I didn't know you had children.

- Twins.

Theo and Enzo.

- Three ears before retirement.

- Compillo too.

Mouloud had two years left

before retirement. A**holes.

You always push it.

You have to wait. He doesn't

know what we can do.

Push it now.

The two of us.

He's coming.

The letter.

No more dismissals.

You didn't open already?

- What's wrong?

- It's blocked.

I'll open it. I see what's going on.

I'll open the door.

Get out of the way.

You'll see! What does this mean

I'll show you. You'll see.

Don't go in! You don't have to!

Five minutes to start working.

- Criticize the boss in secret.

- Let's work!

We have to meet tonight. Alright?

- We have to find a place.

- I can manage that.

- The local press?

- I'll contact them.

We have to hand out pamphlets today.

- Could you write it down?

- No problem.

You have to hand them to the

employees before noon.

- What are you doing here? Get out.

- We are on a meeting.

- It's my place.

- It's ours.

Wait. What is this?

He knows what. We'll fire him.

I will fire him myself.

Who do you think you are?

Don't touch me. You understand?

- Alright. I'm going.

- Go or I'll call the police.

You won't have it your way.

You wanted war and you'll have it.

I assure you.

- Go out.

- I'm going.

You're a jerk.

Open that door!

Let's fight!

You have to come today at 8.

Tonight at the gym.

At 8, today.

Go home. He wants to talk to you.

Tonight at 8. We need you.

You have to come tonight.

Tonight at 8.

Leave me alone.

What did you do to your father?

He was destroyed.

He cried like a woman.

I've never seen him like that.

Mom, he has to go on strike.

You leave him alone. He won't fight.

You now leave him alone.

You fight for you. For your internship.

It took five years for him to retire.

It's not much.

You think it's alright what's going on?

What did you get from this?

You were fired too.

Now it's the two of you.

- I don't matter.

- Of course you do.

It's more serious. He can't stand it.

I'll find an internship somewhere else.

I can't stay in this company.

Think of your future. Think of

the sacrifices we did for you.

Think of him.

- You're selfish.

- No, you can't say that.

- No won't change him, he's stubborn.

- He has to change.

He has to react, take care.

- You don't have to be so arrogant.

- Yes, you have to be arrogant.

You know it. Tell me that you know it.

That you agree with me.

Help me out, mom.

Go and see him. He's in the garage.

Dad, I'm going to the union meeting.

I want you to come.

The plant's operation is

our real strength.

We have to be together, more than ever.

In three days, we'll block

the whole operation.
