Snow White Page #4

I'm not going to be the sponsor of

one of those self-fulfilment hangouts

that doesn't serve the general public.

It'll make me the joke of the town.

As if you'd never invested in a firm

that went bankrupt!

That's not up for discussion.

I don't want to talk about this anymore

I have to go to London for a few days.

Do you want the car?

You can put it in the garage after.

OK:

Byebye

What?

It's accepted as downpayment.

Let's say 15,000.

This car is worth 10 times a much!

Yeah, but not stolen.

I fear, she will awaken.

Sorry

Stop... Nico

Nico, I have to work.

When my actors always come late

then I can't.

If need be I'll replace you.

Didn't go well?

No, the theatre is good,

but Paco is so stubborn.

Men come and go like the wind.

You've got me forever...

Come, I'm buying you a drink.

There was once a concept

called "self-protection".

Meaning that one never

let anyone come so close

that they could hurt you.

A good concept, a veritable concept,

but like all concepts,

it only really functions in theory.

I think I deserve a hug.

Or is the class difference

between us too big?

I think three weeks of re-education

camp could fix everything.

Bye.

This is the cinema district.

And here...

This is where I regularly drink coffee.

Come, let's go this way.

I see.

The hood as far as the eye can see

Smoking factory chimneys.

The repressed working classes.

Stay.

I can't.

I have a meeting with a photographer.

I have to earn a living as well.

Daddy

How are you?

Your car? How should I know?

What?

How should I know where it is?

I have no idea. Maybe it got nicked.

Listen, your car is not my problem.

I've got things to do.

You want to know?

Yes, I really want to know.

I'm 30,000 in debt with a dealer,

and because I've got no cash,

I sold the car.

What's this nonsense!

Bring the car back immediately.

I need it, now!

Your car is probably in Kosovo already.

Bring the car back now

or you're no longer my daughter!

Have you ever been my father?

Bring back the car!

Are you OK?

Yes.

You sure?

Yes, nothing important.

It was my dad.

I needed cash, so I sold his car.

You sold your dad's car?

Yes.

No.

Yes.

But why?

You know, it's difficult to be acting

in the theatre and earning a living.

Jeez! You're incredible!

If the rich don't share their fortune,

we'll just go and take it.

No. Stop...

I owe my dealer 30,000 francs.

He's threatening me and I'm broke.

Oh... sh*t!

Do you hate me now?

Hold on... 30,000 francs?

Are you still using this sh*t?

No, no, well...

I don't know.

I have an aim in life now.

I enjoy theatre.

And I have you.

I had a brother, Nico...

What are you doing?

He was always with me.

We did lots of stuff together.

It's OK, Paco.

What's this sh*t?

I don't want to see you anymore!

Then he started taking drugs.

Which killed him.

And, what do you think?

No, thanks.

What I intend to do with you

is much more radical.

How far are you prepared to go?

Yes, Mummy, it's me.

Dad's gone and changed the locks

as well, I can't get into the house.

What?

Hello! Mummy! It's me!

Dad's changed the locks,

he's kicked me out.

Sweetie, I'm not doing so well.

To be honest, I have no space left

in my head for anyone.

I'm not sure I know what you're saying

Your dad is...

Well, if I hadn't married him,

everything would be much easier.

You're depressed.

Once you're feeling better,

you'll want to sleep with him.

Yea

Listen to me. Try to concentrate.

Do you have a key to the house?

A key? Your dad wouldn't give me a key.

He doesn't want to be bothered by me.

I'm cold. I've got to go back inside.

Fine. After all, it's summer.

Hey, what's this? Mum!

Good night Baby!

Mum, what are you doing? What's this?

Damn it!

Eh, attends!

You don't look happy.

I can make you happy.

Me and my white friend can do miracles.

There have been other homeless people.

Wow, a new sponsor!

Hungry?

Spaghetti or meatloaf?

Spaghetti.

OK.

You do the onions.

But if the sponsor comes...

What?

Then I need the bed.

But you can hide in the cupboard.

No.

I need to find a place of my own soon.

Come, do as I do!

What?

Baby

Just because you're a whore

doesn't mean we all have to be one.

Just because I sometimes go out

with men and collect the tips?

You have your sponsor, you escort...

what would you call it?

I mean, look at this place,

not exactly a gem.

So, with only one sponsor,

I'm not going to get anywhere.

You're right. Sometimes we do

funny things to achieve our goals.

So what's your goal?

I like the idea of being on stage.

So you see, you've got something.

Your dad will be missing you,

he'll call.

I never had a dad.

Nico

Look, when I have my little house,

then you can come live with me and

we'll have our own little family...

On lbiza.

That reminds me.

I've got something for you.

Against the heartache. Come on...

No... no, I quit.

Oh Yea?

OK:

Hello, Nico. It's me.

Well, I hope things are going better

with your parents

I'm sorry that I didn't call earlier,

we're in the middle of the tour.

I hope that when this is all over,

we'll be together a bit more.

So... Call me. Hug.

Everything OK?

Yes.

Your mother called me.

My mother?

Why?

Your father had a second heart attack.

He's in hospital.

My father holds me responsible

for my brother's death.

We're to blame

for all their unhappiness.

Are they interested in us?

I know, I know.

But Paco, he's really not well.

You can have my place at the weekend.

I have to go to a meeting

with my sponsor

By the way, I spoke to him,

he's got a job for you.

Silentium in the Corona.

But that's nothing compared to

the mess Topolino and Puma thought up.

I'll tell you this:

Forbidden fruits...

Gentlemen, on your feet!

Nico.

Hello.

It's cold, isn't it?

Next week I want to see the rest.

All of it. Good night.

Paco!

I'm so proud of you.

This is Paco.

Hello Hi, Paco.

He looks better up close than on stage.

In the subtext of the motion

of the striptease,

the photographer doesn't

only unearth the model's body,

she also lets the clothing

lose their corporeality,

illustrating our imprisonment

through convention:

Fashion as the chains of society.

I don't quite follow this.

You'll have to explain it sometime.

OK.

Do you like them?

Can't you see how he's looking?

I like you.

Now that it's getting intimate,

I'm going.

Good man...

Have to go to my sponsor.

Should we look at the others?

Maxime Steven, she's a woman.

This is not about jealousy.

I want to know who does this to you.

She didn't. We did it together.

I'm not the victim of

some mean porno photographer.

Have you looked?

These photos are so wrong. Damn it!

You're an object,

selling yourself like.

Like what, like a whore? Is that it?

I won't let you call me that.

You're just nothing but

an uptight suburban fool.

But an ass that takes pictures like

these has a serious problem, right?

No, you have a problem.

You're worse than all those wankers
