At the casino in Cannes.

Last year.

I'm sorry.

Yes, of course.

Maybe some other time?

My number is...

Bye.

A**hole.

Dominique?

It's Irene.

We met at the VIP club last year.

You spilled your

glass on my dress.

Irene.

That's right.

Very well.

For how long?

Too bad.

Baire?

It's Irene.

Ivan?

It's Irene.

Single, small but well-proportioned.

Yes, Irene, that's right.

Benoit?

A**hole.

Philippe?

It's Irene.

Don't you remember the meeting

in Dauville last year?

I'm sorry.

My condolences.

Are you his son?

Grandson?

So we must be the same age.

What are you doing here?

Reception told me you asked for

the schedule of trains to Nice.

I'm going around from

one bar to the next.

I wanted to say I'm sorry.

Fine, alright.

Good bye.

I didn't get the chance this morning.

So I came by train.

No kidding?

You didn't fly in by jet?

I really wanted to say I'm sorry.

I wanted to say it to you.

I'm sorry for what I did.

Fine.

You've said it now.

So good bye.

I thought we could go

have dinner together.

Are you nuts?

I won't eat dinner with you.

I want you to go away.

I feel bad...

I don't care how you feel.

Do you understand? I don't care.

I have a date.

So good bye.

How about tomorrow?

Do you know who that

was back at the hotel?

We were going to get

married in 3 months.

3 months.

He adored me.

I even had an engagement ring.

I'd be done with the bars,

the mini and the smiles.

Do you understand?

I'd be set until the end of my life.

I'm sorry.

So am I.

You don't know how badly.

And now I have to start all over.

So if you want to do me a favor,

then just leave me alone.

You don't have the

time for a drink?

Dammit.

It's probably the second to your left.

You go out and it's

the second to your left.

Going out, the second to your left.

Going out.

Franois?

Yes.

- Irene?

- Yes.

- Good evening.

- Good evening.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

I love Italian food,

because it's never pretentious.

And we never expect

anything out of the ordinary,

so we're never disappointed.

Right?

Indeed.

It depends.

But when in Italy, I don't like

to eat in the local restaurants.

It's less amusing.

Maybe because they don't make

the effort to act like Italians.

Maybe.

Listen...

That guy next to the

cars is watching us.

And I feel funny.

But I don't know him.

He was with you at

the bar when I arrived.

And now he's here and

I think he's waiting for us.

And I feel uneasy.

I'm sorry.

This is ridiculous, Franois.

You seem to love pasta,

so you can eat mine.

Can I leave you my number?

Is your invitation to

dinner still open?

Yes, of course.

I found a really nice pizza

shop in the old town.

No. I don't eat at nice pizza shops.

Alright.

As you wish.

120 EUROS

115 EUROS

230 EUROS

180 EUROS

I'd like some caviar.

The crawfish.

And some champagne.

And you?

What will you have?

I don't know.

I need to think it over.

Available at next delivery.

What?

The crawfish. It will be

available at next delivery.

The delivery has just arrived.

Good.

I feel relieved.

So?

I need to leave you for a moment.

Good evening, Mr. Molluquet.

This is a message from Mr. Simon.

Can you wire my bonus

to my current account?

My whole bonus.

Tomorrow morning.

I'd appreciate it.

I'll confirm it later in writing.

Thank you.

Good bye, Mr. Molluquet.

We'll order a second one.

It's sad with just one bottle.

It's boring.

I didn't want to lie

to you at the Biarritz.

I just didn't want to oppose you.

You seemed so happy.

And I was in heaven.

I don't really like caviar.

I force myself to eat it.

And with time I'll

start to like it.

I'm sure that when

I start to like it,

it will taste great.

It's nice here, isn't it?

I like this place a lot

because it's not pretentious.

It's calm and grand

at the same time.

We have the impression

that we're unique.

The handle is made from shark bone.

Amazing, isn't it?

The bones are dried for 2 years.

It takes one shark to

make one set of cutlery.

Here you go.

I'm bushed.

I want to go to bed.

At which hotel are you staying?

I found a small, very nice

hotel in the town's suburbs.

Very good.

So go get your stuff

and we'll meet back here.

Here?

It's more simple that way, right?

Yes.

- Is there a problem?

- No.

No. Not at all.

See you later.

Mr. Simon?

Yes, that's right.

Ms. Mercier is waiting

for you in room 304.

Thank you.

Did you enjoy your dinner?

Yes, very much.

May I ask for your credit card?

Excuse me?

Your credit card.

To cover the bill.

Right.

Of course.

Thank you.

Please take Mrs. Pontini's

baggage to her room.

- We're sorry.

- It's alright.

I have exactly the same.

They're the same color?

That's right.

Yes?

Mr. Molluquet.

How are you?

Excuse me?

No.

No one stole my card.

That much?

Please wire the money from my

PEL account to my current account.

And my PEP account?

And my PEA account?

Go ahead.

No problem.

Please do tell me.

Do I have the right to the CEL?

Well that too then.

How much money is in it?

I assumed there's more.

160 EUROS

Well?

Do you really want to go to town?

Yes.

Are you sure?

Yes, why do you ask?

620 EUROS

Why do you ask?

What do you think?

300 EUROS

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Good.

Can we go?

You can't continue doing this.

This is my business.

I'm paying, right?

Indeed.

And that's what counts, right?

Indeed.

So what's wrong?

Nothing.

So let's go for a walk.

I don't want to go for a walk.

What do you want?

I want a handbag.

What is it?

I feel good, because I'm

not working this afternoon.

I feel like I'm skipping class.

Me too.

On top of that I'm drunk.

Better to be drunk in the

afternoon than in the evening.

It's much better this way.

We have the impression

we're keeping a secret.

Would you like anything else?

Maybe some ice cream?

I want a dress.

Have mercy.

OPERATION CAN'T BE PERFORMED

THANK YOU FOR YOUR VISI This one is gorgeous.

Castelles cake!

I love it!

Here you go.

I got you a place in first class.

Thank you.

So, good bye.

Good bye.

Wait.

Another 10 seconds.

The 10 seconds are up.

Fine.

Fine.

Fine, thank you.

Ask Jeff to come here.

You're not looking for a barman?

I have very good credentials.

No, sir.

I'm sorry sir, but I'm

forced to call the police.

Can't we work something out?

Pool man, room service,

porter, driver?

No, sir.

- Excuse me.

- Yes?

Can someone give me

a hand with my bag?

I'll send over Benoit.

Don't trouble yourself.

My friend will be delighted

to give me a hand.

You were very eager to

help me last time.

Add the bill of room 304

to the account of room 429.

- Shall we get out?

- Yes, of course.

And?

Will you close the door?

Yes.

Good evening.

Which floor?

The third floor.

Good morning, sir.

Good morning.

Is everything alright?

Impossible.

You'll never go away.

This isn't about you.

Yesterday I had a

problem with paying...

You have to leave me alone,
