Snow White

Hello, Nico.

Nico.

Can you hear me?

Repeat this word for me. Chair.

Chair.

Good

Do you know what a house is?

It was one of those summer days,

one of those unforgettable ones.

When I arrived in Zurich,

there was something strange in the air

Something electric...

Not cause this was our first day

on tour.

It was my first time without the band.

Zurich. I hate this city!

TOO-rich,

just like it said on the walls

of that squatted building

a long time ago

What I didn't know was that

this day would change my life.

Because of Nico.

Every summer it's the same.

And like every year everyone will say

"Yeah, what a super party."

No idea why.

Maybe because of our little pad.

We've been living here for 20 years now

This house is as old as me.

So it's as if I was really old.

We're all really old.

It's clear once people start

telling me what they want to be:

Banker, lawyer, gynecologist,

financial consultant, banker, lawyer...

Except for one.

Wanda! Wanda is just... Wanda!

Super party!

You have a birthday downer?

Are we sad?

Well, I got something for you.

Boris couldn't make it,

I got you a small...

birthday present.

Thanks, Bobby.

Please!

Can I have some?

There's enough for all!

Hey, what's that?

Esa Cosa by MENACE EVASIONS

from Geneva.

They're playing at the

Casanova tonight.

We're a pack of old mates.

We've been making music together

for 10 years now.

10 years!

We're all from Meyrin.

That's right under

Geneva's flight path.

My parents.

And that's me with my brother.

They came here from Spain.

We're a bunch of old mates.

Luc won't separate

from his game console.

And Vince. Vince knows

how to treat the ladies.

Juice, seeks harmony with the universe,

but there's no space

for that in this bus

We're in a good mood!

Our song "Esa Cosa"

is at the top of the hit parade.

Fafa!

Stop

What's going on?

See you tonight.

It's easy to get away from the band...

just get off the bus.

But the family...

they're not so easy to shrug off.

Mum is proud of me.

Thanks.

My father...

He's your father.

Go visit him.

Visiting hours start at two.

You know, since your brother died...

Mum, I have no time,

I've got a concert tonight.

I've got to go. Bye.

What a day! If only I'd known!

Nico wouldn't only change my life.

Everything would change, everything!

Nico, can't you keep it down a bit?

Mum, it's my birthday!

Turn it down!

Mum, it's my birthday!

Don't you want to congratulate me?

That's better.

My mother! She feels best

when she's got a problem:

Relationship problem, hip problem

insomnia or depression...

Oh, if I didn't have you,

my sweetheart!

Or she has to go play golf.

But her main problem

will always be Daddy

One can see that by the fact that after

their divorce she moved in next door

and believe me,

that wasn't because of me.

Your mum's a nut case, isn't she?

F***!

Nico, sorry, sorry.

I didn't mean it like that.

Hey, careful!

That's loaded, you fool. Go!

Bye. Party is over! Leave!

F*** off! Come on, go!

Out! Bye.

I'm sorry.

When will you introduce me to your dad?

My dad! If you want to see him,

the fastest way to mobilise him is

to spend lots of money.

This is Nico.

I can't answer your call right now

because I'm already on a call.

Hello, Nico, this is daddy.

I want to see you tomorrow.

I have a phone bill of 3245 francs 65.

One moment, gentlemen.

Nico, why didn't you say anything?

How long have you been here?

Since the start of our appointment.

Are you aware that other people

can live a month

on what this bill is costing me?

I'd love to speak to you about Mum,

but I just don't have time.

I'll call you.

I have to go away for a few days,

do you want the car?

You can put it

in the garage afterwards.

Thanks. Bye.

I want a dad with money too.

Hail the winner!

The conquerer!

The Queen of the Rosefest!

Great lines!

Really good script! Don't you think?

Theatre business,

you're serious about it?

Yes, why?

That's not really a career.

Well, you don't have a career either!

Hey, at least I'm earning money!

Hey, don't we want to go with mine?

Wow, a new set of wheels...

And then my sponsor gave me

one of those small boxes.

One of those for rings,

like in a movie.

Hey, just imagine!

This is my f***ing sponsor!

Yeah, well, this car was in it!

And when will you get your dream house?

Look, when you've grown up

in the suburbs,

not a lakeside villa, a house is great.

What's your problem?

I'm saving for a house on lbiza,

that's for sure.

My love...

What's with this guy from the theatre?

Read the papers,

spend less time saving.

The biggest troublemaker on the scene.

Everyone knows that,

apart from "Schwamendingen" chicks.

Say Schwamendingen chicks once more

and you can cook your own meatloaf.

Don't come to my parents anymore.

That would be a shame.

Her mum cooks the best meatloaf.

Eat, you're so thin.

Make a pond, I want a pond.

I like coming here anyway.

Since she's started working

in the bank

she doesn't tell us anything anymore.

Cheers!

Cheers!

One feels at home

at her parents' place.

The Casanova belongs to Boris. He owns

three other clubs in town as well.

But the Casanova is the best.

Because this is where I met Wanda.

My sponsor.

See you soon, honey!

If I were a man,

I'd lay Wanda in a flash.

Her aim isn't to work all her life only

to turn 50 and live off social welfare

suffering from arthritis

like her parents

If the house didn't belong to Daddy,

I'd have given it to her

a long time ago.

Boris.

He still sees himself

as a rebel against the system.

He knows everyone, is smart

and makes loads of money

in the entertainment business.

But he's OK.

But I've been dating him for too long.

He actually always prefers new stuff:

New DVD surround systems, new cars,

new ring tones on his new mobile...

And when he's nice to me

he calls me "Snow White",

in English of course...

Snow White...

Hey, Vince? Did you have a good night?

Yeah, it was alright. And you?

We'll change the song order.

We start with

"La nuit des morts vivants"

Oh no, hold on, "nuit" is lame.

Let's start with our hit "Salsa".

Without me.

I'm in no mood to play for these

zombies. Or to start with that song.

Just to remind you,

you wrote that song!

Paco! These may be zombies,

but they're paying zombies.

You got a problem with my clientele?

Boris, all's OK...

Do you know Frank Zappa?

Yes.

...Once he was on stage in Germany.

And he wanted people to cry"Sieg Heil"

otherwise he would not perform.

Actually as soon as the crowd

shouted "Sieg Heil"

He left the stage, explaining

he won't perform in front of the Nazis.

And?

Listen, you have to play one song.

That's our contract.

Afterwards,

you do whatever you want to do.

A small revolt... I don't care.

As long as you don't damage anything.

OK!

We start with a song.

I mean, I would prefer you

to heat up the crowd a little bit.

But if you can't do that...

Bon concert!

Cheers!
