Taxi Page #3

I will be late.

I just met a perfect one!

Friendly, pleasant, the cream of the crop.

You'll like him very much.

Hello.

Am I on the wrong floor?

Depends on who you are looking for.

Camille.

That's me...

Him, I mean it's here.

Ah you're her son, the one who works at Apple.

IBM. IBM. Mum!

You know I don't know anything about that stuff.

I recognized you from your photo,

Ah Daniel, meet my son Emilien.

I've put labels on them

Monday Veal, Tuesday...

Ok mom, I promise, I'll be ok.

Maybe we should go now

I get worried about leaving the car for long. Goodbye!

Kiss.

Kiss, kiss mum!

Where are we going?

Voltaire Blvd.

I remember the police station but not IBM.

We are going to the police Station.

I install computers there.

If you don't mind, I'll drop you just before?

I don't really like hanging around the pigs.

You know it makes a nice sound for a taxi.

You know cars?

Just a fan.

It's a V6, a little bit modified.

It just loves to "sing"

Don't sing too loud.

The speed limit is 50.

You're talking about the signs saying 50?

Yes.

I thought it was for skateboards.

No, no, I think it's for anything that drives.

There is drive and "drive".

You see I'm at 100 in a good car...

...good pilot, relaxed

No risks.

I'm less dangerous at 100

then that sh*t at 20.

There...

See that?

Yeah I saw it!

You're not afraid of radars?

We know where the radars are.

Pigs are creatures of habit.

Always eat at the same places.

See, there's one just there.

You see them, they are stupid!

Picture! Picture!

You know they are only doing their job.

They just obey orders.

They volunteered,

nobody forced them.

Sometimes I think they were forced to join.

Because you need to be stupid

to join the police.

Look,..

...I see them alot

...because of the computers.

The image I had of them was false.

Oh yeah? They're worse in person?

No. They're better. There aren't

just plods in the police.

Ah yeah, there's also alcoholics, crooks, idiots!

Seriously, between us...

...you know any normal person

who would want to join the Pigs?

And taxi drivers?

What about them?

You know anybody who

would WANT to become a taxi driver?

Those whinging guys who

only work when they feel like it?

The ones who scream at us

when we don't have the right change..

...and get abusive when we don't tip them.

Always sneaking around being

really chummy with the police.

Bunch of informers the lot of them.

And they all marry widows

just to get a free house.

Are you married to a widow?

No...

Ah I'm so reassured!

Ok there may be a few drivers

who are rude to customers.

But we are not all like you said.

And with the police it's the same thing.

They aren't all drunk at 6 in the morning,

beating up innocent people.

Some of them do their jobs

Just like you... and me.

Maybe, yeah maybe.

But the problem is that taxi driving

isn't my real job.

Ah you only do the taxi for fun...

What's your real job then?

I'm going to show you.

Do you have a bag?

I don't feel well.

Don't worry. As long as we keep

moving nothing will come up.

Sh*t!

I'm sorry sir

it's the first time it's happened to me.

Usually the client gets out

to walk a bit...then...

I'm really sorry.

I'm going to confess something.

I'm like you. It's not my real job...

Oh, no.

Oh, yeah.

Last name and first name.

Morales, Daniel.

Profession. Shall I write crazy taxi driver

or just crazy driver?

Whatever you want.

What speed were you doing back there?

A little 90.

A little 90.

It felt worse than it was.

The motor really kicks

but in reality the car doesn't go that fast.

Eh, world champion, how's it going?

Fine, very good.

Can't you leave me in peace?

Remember that taxi?

We saw it 5 minutes ago on the avenue.

Going 190 Km/h. He's slowing down!

You see? Not 90... 190.

Must be the sun.

I didn't see the 1 on the speedo.

That's why I saw 90

If I'd known I would have slowed down.

Anyway 90 is illegal.

The limit is 50... for everybody!

Cars, skateboards,

taxis... everybody!

Are you happy now? Caught me.

Did your little job. You can be happy now.

My licence is my life

If I walk today I'm dead tomorrow.

Are you going to be cool and finish this quickly.

I'm going slowly, So I can enjoy it a bit.

Usually I'm the one being screamed at all day.

For once I'm in luck.

I didn't knock because of my wrist.

It doesn't matter...

That you didn't knock I mean.

Thank you.

That dinner; your software that can't wait.

-Yes?

Can it will wait until

I don't have any scarves.

unless you want to have dinner

with a scarecrow.

I doesn't bother me...

you're perfect Petra.

It's not important... I mean no...

yes it matters

It's important.

it's very bad for you...

... but for me..

for the software it doesn't matter.

You see!

All day it's been like that.

If only I could catch

those German bastards.

Can I go now?

It will make you feel better.

No, I have to...

Unless you have an idea.

Can I promise not to do it again?

I said an idea, not a lie.

I'm talkin about a real idea

of public interest.

You want to make me clean up dog sh*t?

No!

Something of public interest

for me. Understand?

It's like I represent the public...

... and you do something in my interest.

You want money?

Argh you're really stupid!

Tell me clearly what you want.

I've had an hour of your yapping.

What do you want?

Listen.

The Mercedes gang.

Rings a bell?

No. The only gangs I know

are on scooters.

They're a gang specialising in bank robbery.

Yesterday was their 7th.

And that makes my boss sick.

That's bad.

Yes, mostly for us.

Listen, I've a proposal for you.

You're a good mechanic and driver

and I need a driver.

That's 3 good reasons to hire you

as an intern for 1 month.

I tear up all your infractions.

You want me to be a cop for 1 month?

Choose, cop or pedestrian.

Death or Shame?

Yep, you understood well!

Here you have all seven

attacks in order.

Don't know much about Mercedes.

I'm more Ferrari.

Right now the gang is "Mercedes"

but as soon they get in Ferrari, I'll call you.

A red Mercedes. Horrible.

Yeah red, look for something we don't know.

We looked everywhere

but maybe...a detail.

We just need a detail.

Your gang.

They are German.

Nice! Mercedes:
Germans.

Want to relax 5 minutes now? You must be exhausted.

Tyres are overinflated.

Typical of Germans.

They use 8-inchers.

That had to be done in Germany 'cos you can't find it in France.

The tyres are worn.

They will have to replace them soon.

On this picture, the silencer is a little bent.

But not on this one.

They must have bent it during a raid

and repaired it after.

The only mechanic in Marseilles that repairs these is Kruger.

And Kruger

...is German.

Lucky you're not a Mercedes expert!

Where are we going?

We're starting with Kruger

to see if he remembers anything.

What are you waiting for?

You want me to sing a song?

In this neighbourhood, even the Chrismas lights get stolen.
