Don't touch it!

Are you free?

You are a good-looking man, but

my heart belongs to someone other.

Can l change the situation?

Oh! You enter into my feelings.

ls someone chasing you?

No. l just need transport to the

airport. Can you get there in 20

minutes?

Just some settings...

...and we'll discuss the news.

What about some music?

Ok, just start!

Ready:
Start!

Marseille is a nice city.

And this is the right season.

We are late. l have to accelerate.

l'll switch to speed three.

- No problems.

- Are you OK?

- l'm fine.

- Was it Daniel?

- Who else. The prefect's mother?

He's fast. The cops cannot catch him!

Don't be so sure. They have received

a new arm.

A new arm? What kind of arm?

A secret one.

Damn it! 298 km/h!

Attention!

A white cab driving with 298 km/h.

l repeat:
298 km/h.

Understood, we are on the way.

Oh, l was worried, l thought

they were asleep.

- But this is a police car.

- No! Some friends of mine.

Very funny guys.

- Bertran, this is a strange registration.

- Get near.

''Go suckers, go!''

This is not a registration!

This is an e-mail...

Game over! Hold on.

Why are you stopping?

l am not stopping, he is

accelerating...

- Nitro?

- No, a friend of mine has a bar,

this is some kind of drink.

lfyou are interested, l'll

take some for you.

Thanks for the kindness.

Wait a bit, is this a TGV?

Yes. lt's a fast machine...

...but in this region it slows down.

- Mamma mia!

Where do you want to get out?

Here! Stop just here.

Are you OK. Usually the passengers

are OK until l drive.

They throw up when l stop.

There is a bag, you can use it.

Thanks!

- Are you sure that this is the

right place

- Absolutely.

ls this your plane?!?

Thanks for the collaboration.

Have we met before?

l don't think so, but if l see

you again, l'll remember!

Good luck!

Lily never won't believe me.

What's happening?

Nothing. l had a nightmare.

Go back to sleep darling.

What the hell are you doing?

Nothing, l just couldn't sleep for

Because ofthat gang?

Yes. Since 8 months they kid me.

l am losing my mind.

l see that. Since 8 months l

try to talk to you.

Yes, yes, but l have my own

problems.

- Did you hear me?

- Of course l did.

made by robbers, dressed like

Santa Claus. Can you imaginethat?

Yes, and now you don't believe

in Santa Clause.

l believe! No, l don't believe,

but it's not the problem.

Christmas comes, and the investigations

do not progress.

May be you feel the Christmas humour!

Petra, l have to catch that gang

before Christmas.

And me Emilian, l have to talk to

you before Christmas.

OK, we'll talk.

- What are you doing?

- l am going to the office.

But it's 3 o'clock in the morning!

That's ok. l'll avoid the

traffic.

- You are out ofyour mind!

- l am fine.

l'll see you in the office.

Wake up every one!

- Lily, honey! You can't sleep?

- l can't, because my boy friend

repairs his car at 4 o'clock in themorning.

There is nothing broken.

lt's winter.

l am making some modifications

to be stable on the road.

Listen to me! You have 5 minutes

to do something with the heating.

l am cold, because l am alonein the bed.

And ifyou want to know, you do

this all the seasons.

- Don't say that Lily...

- Don't touch me!

lt's not so easy...

You use me like a rag.

What do you mean?

You use me like something, which

cleans plates and pots. l am so

stupid.

Don't say that! l'll wash myself

and l'll join you.

No! l'll tell you how it will be.

You'll wash yourself, than you'll wait

for one hour to remove this disgusting

smell.

And then will come the time

to go to my work.

Today you are in good state to

kick up. l waked up at 2 o'clock.

l looked at you for one half hour.

Then l decided to make something useful,

instead to watch television.

Daniel! There is no TV set!

- This is not an argument! This is a principle.

- There is no TV, no music,

no curtains, no sofa,

no vase to put some flowers.

And l have no received any flowers

long time ago.

So there is a fridge, but it's

full of motor oil.

- Lily!

- There is a shower, and it smells

of gas...

There is a jack, to jack up your car.

And your wardrobe is full oftyres.

There is no room for my dresses.

- Lily!

But in our state, we can afford the

luxury...

to have a garage.

- What's wrong with you? ls this your

monthly period?

- No, it isn't!

l just can't live anymore in a garage!

l am a women. Do you remember

what it is?

lt's not something which only

smiles...

The women moves, thinks, evolves

and sometimes needs a little bit

of comfort.

And this is only because

l like the cars...

Women!

l can't get it. What a nice

aroma...

Lily, what are you doing?

- l'll return to my parents.

- You'll change the garage for a barrack?

A barrack with curtains, a small

garden and flowers on the table.

This is ridiculous. You can't

leave like that.

lt was amusing for you at the

beginning.

Yes, but it's not any more.

Yourjalopy is more important

for you, than me.

The garage is too small for

us. l made my decision.

Good buy.

Hello girls. Are you having

a walk?

Take it easy. l am just kidding...

l'll see you later.

Hi! Can l come in?

Did you sleep here?

No, l just drowsed for 5 minutes.

You have the file on your face.

l can tell you how long did you

sleep, because your face is like

a stump.

You know the trees. One circle,

one year...

Forget about it...

You know me. l always make jokes...

- That's what l am.

- May be l have to change you...

Hi guys. Would you like some grass?

lt's very good.

Oh, no, no...

- Don't be foolish. lt's high-quality.

- Really?

No, no. Who do you think we are?

OK. The choice is yours

Buy.

- Tell me...

- Hey! And some coke?

- Rashid!

- l am just asking.

- Right!

What are these shits?

And what are these posters on the wall?

- lt's Bob Marley.

This is a police station!

Do you know how long we are working

on this case without success?

- The gang of Santa Claus?

- The same.

lt's time to do something.

any track.

Nothing, that we can use.

We are useless fools...

Are you sure...

you don't want some stuff. l'll call

Rashid

- No.

That will help you feel better.

What about a breakfast?

Rh?

The breakfast gives energy.

Ok, let's go to have breakfast.

You have a good appetite.

l couldn't eat, l couldn't

sleep for months.

l have terrible nightmares. Many

Santa Clauses are walking around me.

lt's terrible.

- Say no more. lt's really terrible...

Lice up your shoe.

And Christmas is coming, they

can hide easily in the crowd.

- That's right. ln July it would be

more difficult for them.

- Yes, they couldn't escape...

And now Christmas is coming,

and l am sure, they are ready

for their biggest strike.

One question worries me: Why are

they disguised as Santa Claus?

Take a look!

He is nice, he gives presents,

he is reliable with these red

clothes...

...Everybody points at him...
