you protect him,

you keep him safe until

he gets transferred to court.

He'll contact you.

We'll arrange the rendezvous.

- Zero message.

- Keep your wits about you, though,

because there are a lot of people

in a lot of places

who want this Francois dead.

This is risky.

Be smart.

Move!

What the hell are you doing?

Come on, a**hole!

Move!

I can't believe it!

Come on!

Hey, Markey, would you keep an eye

on your f***ing apples?

Right. So don't load

too much onto ABB

or else you release

Manu's team.

They're in "White Squares"

this morning.

Or you take some from DLB.

They must be

overstaffed, right?

And by the way,

tell Lawrence...

Jesus Christ. Tell Lawrence

to keep the lunch break short.

No no no, don't let everybody go together.

Got that? Am I clear?

You know, what I just don't

get at all is the process.

I mean they can keep

assessing us.

I don't want to let my kid go out

with all these disappearances.

You're not worried

about your kids, Ronny?

- What?

- Your kids, with all these disappearances?

You know, there's a lot

of bullshit on the TV news.

Anyway, best of luck

to any guy who tries

to abduct my wife's kids.

Hey. No, he'd be

doing me a big favor.

But...

maybe you're right.

I mean...

maybe we shouldn't be

feeling safe right now.

When I go out in the woods,

I sometimes get the feeling someone's

watching me. It's...

well, it's kinda freaky.

Come on.

What are you afraid of?

Nothing's gonna happen.

Ever.

That's the problem.

Do you know how many days like this

we're gonna have to spend together?

No offense, guys,

I'm gonna tell you

what's really freaky.

We've got at least another

20 years to spend together.

20 years.

I did the math.

Five lunches per week,

40 weeks per year,

multiplied by 20,

which makes around 4,000 lunches

to have together.

We've gotta face it...

this is the reality.

Excuse me, can you turn

the screen on and off?

F***! What the f*** is

your problem, man?!

What the f*** is your problem?!

Is it just you

or the dump you work for?

Is it you

or your shitty company?!

We said 10:
25.

We said 10:
25.

It was gone 10:
40 when you

walked in here like a f***ing tourist!

10:
40, man!

Like a f***ing tourist!

Now it's past noon and I've still

got no juice in my f***ing machine!

My sockets work, damn it!

Well, I'm sorry.

I thought

it was something else,

but it's the motherboard

and it's fried.

But don't worry, I can fix it.

I can swap out your PC.

I'll have to go back and pick one up.

- I'll come back this afternoon...

- Wait a second.

You made me lose my morning.

You know what that means

in loss of revenue?

Do you know what

that means? Do you?

Yeah, but there's

no other choice.

I mean the round trip

alone... I can't be back till after 2:00.

You couldn't do it, could you?

Of course you couldn't!

Just look at you.

Like you give a sh*t.

Right.

You're a nobody.

People like you should

be put down at birth.

It's not even your fault.

It's just the laws of nature.

And do you know what?

You don't make me wanting

like helping you.

Sondra! Sondra!

Get me onto Compuserve +

and get me through to the manager.

What the hell is your name?

What the hell is your name?!

Sheribow...

Oliver Sheribow.

Oliver Sheribow.

Write it down and get me the manager.

- Hello?

- Hi.

Sorry to call you so late.

I know you've got to work tomorrow.

No no, it's no problem.

What's going on?

Can't sleep?

What about you?

What do you think?

You know what?

I think it's because

you've been a free man

for a few hours in the week.

You said things

you felt like saying.

You did things you felt

like doing.

You were happy.

Now you're back in jail.

We all are.

Well, you can't know suffering

if haven't experienced

happiness, right?

Now we're alone

to deal with it.

But a long time ago

that's the kind of thing

warriors went through.

You take the Vikings

for instance. Right?

I mean those were the guys

that really talked about this stuff.

They...

hang on a sec.

Anyway, the...

yeah, the Vikings.

They had a...

they had a word

for the suffering

of the conqueror

who comes home

with a foreign sickness.

It was called Frem...

Fremdveh...

Fremdveh

or something like that.

They had another word

for what they would suffer

when they were waiting

to go to war,

but I can't remember that one.

- What about nightmares?

- Insomnia,

nightmares... it's kind of

like a dilemma, you know?

I mean look at me tonight.

I'd almost

rather have nightmares.

It just seems so real.

And always at night,

it's... it's right there.

You know what it is, don't you?

No.

It's the weight of society.

The suppression.

The nightmares, they're just...

a self-censoring

social reflex.

It's quite a good sign.

Hey.

- Just breathe.

- Excuse me?

If you want your cramp to go away,

you just have to breathe,

maybe even bend over

a little bit.

It should help.

I promise.

Mm-hmm.

And...

if you eat food

before you go running,

try light stuff

like honey.

You know.

Well, thanks.

It's... it's very kind.

- Thank you.

- Don't get discouraged.

Just keep going.

It's not so bad.

I'm Alice.

- Hi, Alice.

- Hi. Mm-hmm.

- Okay. Okay.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- See you around.

Bye.

Oh sh*t.

Stephen, clear off table seven.

Take the order to six.

Cheeseburger with onion rings

ready to go for nine.

Okay, you got it?

You got it?

Haul ass!

It's rush hour.

Come on, people.

I don't pay you to sit around!

Keep moving moving moving.

- Let's go!

- Hey, buddy, buddy.

Yeah, can we get some food?

Right, so burger and fries.

- The same.

- You the same. I'll have burger and fries.

May I have

your house salad, please?

Okay, three burgers

and a house salad.

- Mm-hmm.

- Burger and fries,

house salad and a Diet Coke.

- Diet Coke, okay.

- Yeah.

Thank you.

Be kind.

- Hey.

- Hey, how you doing, kid? You all right?

- Yeah, I'm cool, man. You?

- I'm all right.

Listen, you know,

work can be tough.

Take it easy.

- What time do you get out of here?

- Around 4:
00.

Afterwards, I go boxing.

All right, so you got something

to look forward to.

- See ya later.

- What were we saying?

Oh, right.

So you can't trust this girl.

I saw her jogging in the park

this morning with a guy.

I don't think it matters if I'm jogging

by myself or with somebody else.

- That's a friend.

- Uh-oh.

Oh, right,

I don't think it matters.

Do you think it matters?

I was worried for him.

- Uh-huh. Oh right, yeah.

- I was worried about this guy.

Just wanted to make sure

you were all right.

- Yeah.

- It was a nice guy?

A real nice guy, very tall?

- Mmm. Mm-hmm.

- Yeah?

Get lost, loser.

Thanks.

Yeah, I'll keep it.

Oh, I've seen these before.

It's very cute.

Okay. Yeah, I'll buy him.

Okay.

- Thank you.

- Two? Yeah, thank you.

Thank you.

What have we got here?

What is this?

- It's your fortune.

- Mm-hmm?

- Open it first. Thank you so much.

- Okay.

Let's see.
