The Taste of Others

- You're kidding yourself. | - You see evil everywhere.

No, I'm realistic, that's all.

Of course, it does happen, | sometimes...

Sometimes? Are you joking?

At the office, at school, | it's the same everywhere.

There's always a prick.

They're not all dishonest. | Give me a break.

You say that because they don't | tell you what's going on.

But if you dig a little...

If you order twelve oysters | and one's bad...

you don't throw them all...

How many examples do we need?

The office, school, oysters. | I got it already.

You offer $20 to an oyster, | what's it going to do?

- Your example isn't a good one. | - Maybe this one isn't.

But you can't condemn everyone | because of one that's corrupt.

Maybe this guy was honest.

So why didn't he impose | an obvious penalty?

- Maybe he didn't see it. | - No?

- It's sneaky and underhanded. | - Who knows?

They're exactly the same.

We're well-positioned.

It's a mere formality, | but it should clinch the deal.

On the other hand, | we can forget about Simpson.

I'm not surprised. | He's just a fag.

Miss!

Please, bring us some | little pastries, the little...

- Mignardises. | - Yes. And the check, please.

What?

Those are really bad for you.

I didn't have any dessert.

It's exactly these little things | that you should avoid.

- We had a very rich meal. | - It's too late, anyway.

Do I have to go tomorrow? | Can't you go alone?

Why do I have to be there?

I thought it was a good idea. | But if you prefer...

I only know four English words.

I'll be there, asking you the | whole time, "What's he saying?

"Tell him that..." | It's going to slow things down.

- Go by yourself, I prefer... | - You have a 3:30 today.

A 3:
30 appointment? | With whom?

Mrs. Devaux, | the English teacher.

Oh, yes.

Is it really necessary?

You make what a month? | Eight thousand?

- More. | - Ten thousand?

- Less. | - So, nine thousand.

- Less. | - Who cares?

That's not the point. | I'm explaining something.

Imagine you're a referee.

A guy offers you some dough, | just like that.

He asks you to look | the other way. What do you do?

Give them a call to explain.

I'll call them right away...

to say that 4:
30 is better.

It's just half an hour.

THE TASTE OF OTHERS

This Weber is a real gem.

Could you close | your window, honey?

Effiicient, devoted. | I admire him, really.

- I give him enough money. | - Excuse me?

I pay him like a king.

He'd better be devoted. | The opposite would amaze me.

The money he earns | isn't important.

I'm talking about | human qualities, about...

He's such a smart dresser.

You should ask him | where he buys his suits.

I ate too much.

I won't eat. | An apple and right to bed.

You, eat an apple? | That would be surprising.

We're going to | the theater tonight.

Aw, sh*t!

Aw, hell!

Do I have to go, too?

Your niece knows we're coming.

Why did we tell her?

What the hell will we do there?

- Good afternoon, Mr. Castella. | - How are you, Gustave?

- Did we change the robot? | - Yes, last night. No problem.

- Did we lose much? | - About 10 hours.

The production's back on again.

Do they really | have to follow me everywhere?

That's the idea.

Franck. I'm not used to it, | so explain a little.

You must follow me everywhere?

That's what I'm paid to do.

Here in the plant? | What can happen?

A bad situation | can happen anywhere.

An attacker has | plenty of choices.

I think you're the one | who's going to...

Mrs. Devaux has been waiting | for 15 minutes.

- Who? | - Devaux.

- Your English teacher. | - Oh, yes, dammit. Let her in.

When do we sign | with the Iranians?

- Wouldn't I like to know. | - This bodyguard is oppressive.

- I know, but the insurance... | - Screw them.

Here you go.

- Good afternoon. | - Hi.

- Sit down, Mrs... | - Miss Devaux.

- You're an English teacher? | - Yes, I give English classes.

Do you have funny | teaching methods?

Funny? I wouldn't know | if my methods are funny.

How long will it take?

I have to know | your level first.

What?

I said I have to | know your level...

how much English | you already speak.

I have to...

So you don't speak | English at all?

Yes, yes.

Anyway, I think it's better | to start directly in English...

so you get used to it...

to hear the language | and the words.

It's better?

Yes, it is.

OK.

You know what?

I'm going to think about it, | and I'll contact you.

So, we're done?

Yes. I... I'll call you.

OK. All right.

You'll feel good here.

This is a nice apartment.

- Thanks to you. | - No, it's Jean-Jacques, really.

But it's really...

It's really kind.

He's your brother. | It's only natural.

- We never see each other. | - But he's your brother.

He couldn't let you sleep | in the streets with your kids.

He has money, | so he can help you.

He never held it against you.

What exactly?

That you ignored him.

He invited you over many times.

Paris is not that far away. | You never came.

You never came either.

Well...

Where are your children?

With their father.

He's going to help a bit?

I don't know.

It's odd, I never liked | your husband from the beginning.

I did.

Some fabric would look nice | here, don't you think?

I was thinking about | this green...

Green? Oh, no, | it's a cold and harsh color.

Something warm, reassuring.

I don't know... | Dusty pink, maybe?

Or else a flowery fabric.

That's Flucky. | What's happening?

F***! I can't believe this.

Is this dog neurotic, or what?

- It's your dog? | - No need to be rude.

- Yes, it's my dog. | - Muzzle him.

He's dangerous. | The little sh*t got me!

- He bit him. | - What did you do?

What did I do? I was walking. | He doesn't like people walking?

There must be a reason. | Something must have happened.

I didn't do a thing! | Enough already!

Could you stop screaming? | It's very upsetting.

- Keep calm. | - I'll bite your calf...

and see if you keep calm.

That's enough! Excuse him, | excuse him, end of story.

I asked him to keep calm...

and he threatened | to bite me...

to see if I keep calm.

What a disagreeable | and aggressive fellow.

I thought he deserved it. | He was not a nice man.

Listen, you'll have to do | something. He bites a lot.

Yes, but, you know, | it's always with reason.

When he's bothered | or when people are mean.

- Dogs can feel that. | - Yes, that's true.

These seats are hell!

You want to have a bite? | Then we congratulate her.

No, Jean-Jacques!

That wouldn't be nice. | We're here now.

Some guy, | armed to the teeth, says...

"You move, you're dead". | What do you do?

I don't move.

- You do like everyone else? | - There's nothing else to do.

I try to stay alive.

She looks like my fiance, | that girl, something in her...

You have a fiance? | I haven't met her.

She's not here.

She's doing an internship | in the U. S.

- When will she get back? | - In four months.

You're patient.

I'm in love.

That helps.

I wanted to ask you something.

Have you ever killed someone?

Here, let us pause.

The splendor of these halls | is new to your eyes, Arsaces.
