Up for Love Page #2

- Stop this plane!

- OK.

Come on, Home!

- No way, no way!

- Diane.

Diane! Everything will be fine.

- I can't, I can't.

- Diane.

Listen to me.

You're with me. You're safe.

It'll be all right, OK?

At five, we jump.

One...

two... three...

That was...

- I've never felt that before.

- Yeah?

- Look, I have goosebumps!

- I believe you.

Oh, my God, Ijumped out of a plane.

I jumped out of a flying plane!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I...

- I can't find the words.

- Give me a call when you do.

- I don't have your number.

- It's in your phone. "Alexandre. "

I see. OK.

You leave nothing to chance, do you?

When you like parachuting, it's wiser.

- Hello, sir.

- Hello, Monique.

No...

No...

Luchio, no.

Benji! Call your dog!

Down, boy!

- That dog drives me crazy!

- He loves you to death.

That's the problem.

- You have to talk to her, Dad.

- Why?

Life's been hard on her recently.

Try to understand.

You mean, it's hard on us. It's filthy here.

There's dust everywhere.

She never vacuums.

She lost her husband.

She's sad. It's normal.

- It was five years ago!

- She loved him a lot.

- What do I do with this?

- This?

You can give it to me. I love the colour.

God damn it!

I disagree.

Real estate is like a steamship.

Changes of direction are slow

and it stays on the same trajectory...

Sorry. Yes?

I said no.

Besides, the salary was too low.

- How much?

- Not enough.

- Meaning?

- Not enough!

Is it more than zero?

Because that's what you're earning now.

- I should've said yes?

- No.

Your heart wasn't in it.

The question is, what do you want to do?

I told you. I want to launch my app.

The idea is good. It could work.

But I need investors.

France is so petty.

You need to aim big! You taught me that.

Monique, can we turn the radio down?

What I need is backers. You see?

Guys who are ready to invest money

in talented young guys like me

who have ideas, that's all.

People like Timo Atanen.

- Who?

- The Finnish guy who started "Sparkle".

Oh, yeah.

- Then go see him.

- You can't get near guys like that.

Are you sure?

I'm an idiot. I should've taken the job.

I'm going out tonight. You got a 50?

Make it a hundred, that way I can treat.

- Thanks.

- Yeah.

That's 150.

- Oh, yeah.

- OK.

- I'll give you this one back.

- Yep.

Thanks.

My eye is twitching, it's weird.

Palpebral tremor.

That's what it's called.

What's the cause?

Fatigue, stress, emotional shock...

Have you had

an emotional shock recently?

- Excuse me?

- Yes?

- It's an email virus.

- Oh, no.

"L Dig You. "

"I Dig You. " It's the name of the virus.

Oh, sorry. I get it.

I thought you were telling me that...

How did we get that?

Someone must have

opened an infected mail.

Why are you looking at me like that?

It wasn't necessarily me.

I didn't open any mails called "I Dig You".

You think Bruno did?

Nonetheless, it wasn't necessarily me.

Can you get rid of it?

- There could be aftereffects.

- OK. Do your best.

- It wasn't me!

- Then who?

I don't know, but I'm not the only one

starved for love in this office!

- Hello?

- Ten am, Tuesday.

- What?

- Leforfs hearing with the judge.

Bruno, we agreed on a settlement.

No, you agreed on a settlement.

Our client wants to go to court.

- He's a jerk.

- He's defending his interests.

No, he's not.

He's making his wife pay for leaving.

He has money and we need funds, darling.

Stop calling me darling!

OK. How do we work it?

- Work what?

- The lease, the clients, our shares.

- You said you wanted to separate.

- I didn't say that.

You said,

"If you don't agree, we'll separate. "

I don't agree, so we'll separate.

Coralie, do you want

to stay with Diane or me?

- You can't ask me that.

- No, Bruno.

Don't put her in that position.

It's not me doing that, it's you.

Look, maybe I overreacted a bit.

We have until Tuesday to decide?

- I'll give it some more thought.

- OK, good.

Coralie, call Lefort

and confirm the hearing for Thursday.

Magnesium.

Excuse me?

You should take magnesium

for your palpebral tremor.

OK.

Don't you have any work to do?

Oh, yes! The Marconi file.

Yes?

- Alexandre, it's Diane.

- Diane!

- Sh*t.

- Are you OK?

Yes. I hit my head on the ceiling.

Hang on. I'll get out of here.

Sorry.

That's better.

- Where are you?

- In Lige.

The Lige Opera, really.

The Lige Opera?

- We're working on an extension.

- Gosh.

It's a big project. It'll be fabulous.

And how are you?

I'm fine, thank you.

We said we'd call each other...

but maybe this is bad timing?

Not at all. I wanted to call you,

I just didn't find the time.

I understand.

Me too... things are pretty intense.

I have a million things to do.

L won't bother you any longer.

Hang on. What are you doing tonight?

L don't know.

My plane is at five pm.

We could meet at nine if you like?

There's a place I'd like to show you.

It's rather... unusual.

On solid ground?

- It's definitely on solid ground.

- OK, then.

See you tonight, Alexandre.

Thanks. Have a good flight.

- Thanks. See you later.

- OK.

- What?

- Nothing. Here's the Marconi file.

Good.

And for Lefort... postpone the hearing.

- But...

- No buts.

Until Bruno and I reach an agreement,

we're not going.

- Alexandre?

- Over here.

Alexandre?

Right here.

- You scared me.

- It's this way.

Where are we going?

Hey, there.

- Hello, Simone.

- Hey, handsome.

You have a table for two?

- She doesn't say hello?

- Excuse me.

I'm teasing, hon.

Mario! You have a table for Alexandre?

For two.

Have a seat at the bar.

I'll see what we can do.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

- This place is amazing.

- Isn't it?

It's 100 per cent clandestine.

Cooks from freighters

take turns in the kitchen.

Simone, who's cooking tonight?

Andreas. A Cypriot.

He made squid in black ink sauce.

I want no leftovers!

She's a great gal. But don't cross her.

I'm lucky, she likes me.

From what I see, everyone likes you.

Yeah.

What?

"Everyone" is sort of the same

as "no one".

- Your table is ready.

- Great.

- I can take...

- No, I've got it.

- I'm glad to be here, really.

- It shows.

- Tell me a joke.

- Excuse me?

Tell me a joke.

It'll loosen up the atmosphere.

I'm terrible at jokes.

I never tell them right.

I always think about

the punchline while I'm telling them,

and then I forget the story.

Also, I don't get jokes, because...

- You don't get jokes?

- Never.

I concentrate hard,

but I never know when to laugh...

- You feel embarrassed?

- Very.

And since I'm concentrating,

I don't get them.

So no jokes, sorry.

- OK, I'll go.

- OK.

An Eskimo is waiting for his girlfriend

on the ice field.

He takes a thermometer and says,

"If she's not here by eight, I'm gone. "

I got it.

- That was awful.

- Wasn't it?

OK, your turn.

A female one-humped camel

sees a male two-humped camel

in her path and says,

- "Pity he's a hunchback. "

- I know that one.

- A funny face.

- Yes. Make a funny face for me.
