167
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,640
I completely understand. You're right.
168
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,880
But-But I want the same things,
just like you all.
169
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,760
Especially since I lived here.
My life was in the 'hood.
170
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:46,600
The Republic gave me everything.
I wanna give in return.
171
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,640
Give in return or take everything from us?
172
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,640
-[crowd jeers, laughs]
-Okay.
173
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,080
-We have to go.
-[Lamine] Tell him!
174
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,520
-[Stéphane] All you've done in five years…
-No. Go on, please.
175
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,840
…is cut the budget
for all our community associations.
176
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,080
And you tripled the budget
for video surveillance.
177
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,000
No, but, I--
178
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,640
-You know, sir, I can say that--
-Don't call me sir, all right?
179
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:04,720
-Just stop it.
-All right.
180
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,080
You've known me for years, Éric.
181
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,280
Can you quit putting on a show?
It's for the cameras.
182
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,240
-Don't keep putting on a show.
-You're correct.
183
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,760
-You are correct here, friend. You are.
-Don't pretend like we're buddies, please.
184
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,840
-[Lamine] You need to respect people.
-Uh, well, listen to me. Listen to me.
185
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:21,000
-If-If elected, I will definitely support…
-[woman 5] We don't wanna listen to you!
186
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,840
-…young professionals. That's how we help.
-Right, "professionals."
187
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,200
Being doctors, lawyers, engineers.
Not people like us, huh?
188
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,680
-[Lamine] We work in kitchens.
-Nothing left to say, right?
189
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,160
-Put on your aprons, guys.
-No, no, no. Stéphane.
190
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,960
Stéphane, now, just one thing at a time.
We need to pace things.
191
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,680
Hey, nobody's scared
of rolling up sleeves, Éric.
192
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,520
-Believe me.
-[woman 6] Yeah, tell him!
193
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,520
-Yes, but I'm just saying--
-That's right, nobody.
194
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,320
When you're getting fucked over working,
sleeves don't matter.
195
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,400
-[teens] Whoa!
-[crowd cheer and laugh]
196
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,360
-That's well said.
-[Stéphane] Hey. Wait, wait.
197
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,680
Are you looking for a slogan
for your campaign?
198
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:54,600
I got one for you.
199
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,080
I can't wait to hear it.
[chuckles] Go ahead.
200
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,560
It's "Liberty, equality, brotherhood."
201
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,200
-[all] Whoa!
-[clamoring]
202
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,480
-[hip-hop music plays]
-[crowd cheering]
203
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,360
-[Stéphane] All right, salaam.
-[reporter 2] Mr. Andréï, over here.
204
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:09,960
[reporters clamoring]
205
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,120
-[reporter 3] Mr. André--
-No, no. No comment, no.
206
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,040
-No, no, no.
-[advisor] Thank you very much.
207
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:15,920
[camera shutters clicking]
208
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:17,880
Your job is at risk.
209
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,080
You're better off having a few kids,
210
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,000
instead of acting like a moron
for the cameras.
211
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,000
-How's that goin'?
-[chatter on TV]
212
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,560
Guess how many grandkids Jeanette has.
213
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:27,960
-Eleven.
-Twelve.
214
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:28,960
Amen.
215
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,280
Say "amen"!
216
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,880
-Amen.
-Twelve grandchildren.
217
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,760
And me, zero.
218
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,160
-Well, we've been, uh… Well, Marion--
-[Marion] Yes, we are, but it's hard.
219
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,080
We're doing everything,
Simone, I swear, you know, but--
220
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,440
-You don't desire Marion now, huh?
-Huh?
221
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,160
She's gained some weight recently,
but she's still beautiful.
222
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,280
-Mom, that's…
-Your father, rest in peace…
223
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,840
-[Stéphane] He's not actually dead.
-He should be.
224
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,720
-His soldier had problems some nights.
-Wow.
225
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,320
[Simone] You can talk to me about it.
226
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,080
-Uh-huh.
-[Marion] But it's not…
227
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,800
I mean, having a kid is a lot of pressure.
228
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,840
And financially, it's been really hard.
229
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,080
I'm still paying off the business loan
on the salon--
230
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,320
I talk to her about a child,
she talks about a loan.
231
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:12,000
-Hey, it's typical from Beninese.
-She's not Beninese. She's Senegalese.
232
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,200
Togolese, Beninese,
they all love their money, right?
233
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:16,120
What's that?
234
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,920
Uh, is this a friend, Mom?
235
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,040
Oh! [chuckles] This is Jeanette.
She's my close church friend.
236
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,240
-[Jeanette] Mm.
-[Simone] Her husband is a bad man.
237
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,400
-[Jeanette] Mm-hmm.
-She'll stay at your place for now.
238
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,600
-Huh?
-[Simone] I don't have room at mine.
239
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,000
I'm sorry, but that's not possible,
Simone, because, you know,
240
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,120
at the moment, in the bedroom,
we're doing the whole, um…
241
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,000
What's it called, Stéphane? Hey, Stéphane.
242
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,720
-You're the one handling it. Stéphane.
-[Stéphane] Hold on.
243
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,120
I don't know a single person here
244
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,720
who's scared of rolling up sleeves,
believe me, Éric.
245
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,280
When you're getting fucked over,
sleeves don't matter.
246
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,600
Stéphane Blé is a monitor
in a community center
247
00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:50,960
in a housing project,
248
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,440
and seems perfectly ready
to challenge Éric Andréï directly.
249
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,160
Yes, absolutely a nightmare
for the candidates that are on campaign.
250
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,160
Random guy comes along
and just dynamites a visit.
251
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,280
Apparently, the man's no longer anonymous.
252
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,720
The media machine has been quite busy
developing "Blé-mania."
253
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,160
The guy is trending on Twitter.
It looks like he's got good punchlines.
254
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:10,920
So, we asked a polling company,
255
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,640
just as a joke really,
to run a little test,
256
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,920
in the perspective
of the presidential election,
257
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,240
should he ever run.
258
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:18,520
How do you think he scored?
259
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,760
[host 2] One percent?
[host 1] No, four percent.
260
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,400
[host 2] Four percent
for a two-minute segment on TV?!
261
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,360
[host 1] If you relate that
to the electorate,
262
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:26,920
well, that's about two million voters.
263
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,160
-Two million. That's crazy.
-Two million?
264
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,720
See how lucky you are to be with my son?
265
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:32,760
Two million!
266
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,040
[chuckles]
267
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,800
[electronic music plays]
268
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,560
-Wow, Stéph. You're in the paper!
-[Stéphane] Yeah.
269
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,760
It's crazy.
You're right there. Look at that.
270
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:47,800
-How are you?
-I'm good.
271
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,040
We just saw you on TV yesterday
with the mayor.
272
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,720
-Oh, thank you. Thanks, Auntie.
-You were top-notch.
273
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,040
-Hey, you totally owned the mayor, huh?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
274
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:56,880
-Great, man.
-Thanks, thanks.
275
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:58,880
[man 3] Stéphane!
276
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,040
[reporters clamoring]
277
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,400
Stéphane, some questions.
Are you gonna run for mayor?
278
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,560
So, what's your perception
of secularism in France?
279
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,600
Are you going to run opposite Andréï?
280
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:10,320
No, I'm just a citizen
who's sick of getting my ass kissed
281
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,960
every five years or so,
and getting boned otherwise.
282
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,680
That's my position. Any more questions?
283
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,560
-Okay, no more questions.
-[reporter 4] Is it--
284
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,720
-Okay, no more comments.
-Wait. We have more questions.
285
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,520
-No. Thank you. Bye. Bye. Thank you.
-[overlapping chatter]
286
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,000
All right, come on.
287
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,000
Who are you?
288
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:25,920
William Crozon.
289
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,440
I've directed campaigns
for about 15 years.
290
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,800
I've helped elect greats, the best.
291
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,920
And also idiots.
But our politics are my life.
292
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,840
And you, my guy… you're unique.
293
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,240
Just between us, you must be sick
of all the white politicians
294
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,720
that fuck with us.
295
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,680
It's because no one represents guys
like us two.
296
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:47,880
Are you Turkish?
297
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,480
-Because you don't look Black, man.
-Huh?
298
00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:52,160
All right, you just Arabized.
299
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,600
No, you pleb, you Islamized
300
00:11:54,680 --> 00:11:56,640
the grandnephew of the great Aimé Césaire.
301
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,160
-Huh? Oh, yeah?
-No big deal. The inventor of Négritude.
302
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,400
-Yes, yes. I know, I know.
-Yeah, well, whatever.
303
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:03,280
[sucks teeth]
304
00:12:04,680 --> 00:12:07,040
[sighs] Yeah, seeing you,
despite the teeth, you're perfect.
305
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,240
Have you been in jail?
306
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:09,880
-No.
-You married?
307
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:11,480
-Yeah.
-That's perfect.
308
00:12:11,560 --> 00:12:13,200
-Any kids?
-No.
309
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:14,640
Get some. Lots.
310
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:15,560
Are you gay?
311
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:17,640
What the hell, man?
312
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,200
Man, you're bein' crazy, right?
I'm not gay, all right?
313
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,280
[chuckles] Okay, yeah,
you got a problem with that.
314
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,040
But just wait. I'm from the 'hood.
I know how people feel about gays.
315
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,120
No. No. And I don't appreciate
what you're insinuating here.
316
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:29,920
Uh, the guys in the 'hood have evolved.
317
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,880
-It's not like you're making out.
-Mm-hmm.
318
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,640
-On my block, there's a family.
-Hmm?
319
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,040
Uh, there's two brothers,
and the two are gay men.
320
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,720
-And Arabs to boot.
-Wow.
321
00:12:39,560 --> 00:12:40,480
And?
322
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,400
Well, the same family.
323
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:45,440
Okay. And?
324
00:12:46,680 --> 00:12:48,800
There's two. There's two, I mean…
325
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,760
-That's my bad.
-There. You need to change that, okay?
326
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,360
Get rid of all these revolting ideas,
because now you've got credibility.
327
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,320
You're great, you're unique.
Me, I've got savvy and a strategy.
328
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,160
-I've got savvy too.
-Yeah, all right.
329
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,080
But not as much. Now, listen to me.
330
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,040
Two Black guys,
the two of us, in the Elysée, my guy.
331
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,840
You get me? The new Barack and Michelle.
332
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,400
-Just hang on one second.
-Boom!
333
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:14,720
Stop right there.
334
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,600
Who's Barack
and who's Michelle in all this?
335
00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:19,920
-[chuckles] This guy.
-Go on, just elaborate for me.
336
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,440
You have a real problem with that.
It's crazy.
337
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,000
I don't wanna bang you, man.
338
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,880
I want to transform you into the president
339
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,080
of France, my guy.
340
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,280
-But I'm not in politics anymore.
-You were in politics?
341
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,680
Well, yeah, back in the day,
with my band State Thugs.
342
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:33,840
We were all dedicated.
343
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,880
But that's behind me now. It's over.
344
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:36,960
It's not behind you.
345
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,720
The guy I just saw taking down Andréï
has that rage.
346
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,280
He made me angry,
trying to lecture us, you know.
347
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,560
All the real solutions rise from below.
348
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,000
-Oh, this is it.
-That's right.

[speaks Creole inarticulately]
350
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,560
[in English] Creole.
I was raised in the Antilles.
351
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,360
It sneaks out when I get angry.
How it is. Remember the commonwealths?
352
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,400
-Oh, no, I remember the Antilles, man.
-Of course.
353
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:03,760
-No, of course.
-[speaks Creole]
354
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,640
-Hmm. Mm.
-[speaks Creole inarticulately]
355
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,600
[in English] We'll do great things.
I swear. I can see it now.
356
00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:13,400
Because you represent the block.
You represent the voiceless.
357
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,600
You represent those who feel oppressed,
those who feel hopeless.
358
00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:18,280
All those guys, me, livin' in Sarcelles.
359
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:19,640
-You know Sarcelles?
-Totally.
360
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,040
-You know C-Murder, Give, all that?
-Pfft.
361
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,040
-Yeah?
-My guys on the block!
362
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,320
Uh, but where in Sarcelles?
363
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,720
Uh, uh, next to--
Next to, uh, C-Murder, yeah.
364
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,200
-We all-- They all--
-But where?
365
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,880
-Which area were you in?
-[inhales deeply] Uh…
366
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,840
-Tartier, Tartlet, Tartelet?
-[phone ringing]
367
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,720
-Is that right, "Tartlet"?
-[phone ringing]
368
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,960
-Oh shit.
-[phone vibrating, ringing]
369
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,400
Hey, you have my card, right? My card!
370
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,720
-[door opens, closes]
-The Tarterets! Shit.
371
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,120
-Yes
-[Marion] Seriously, what are you doing?
372
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,280
-I'm at the clinic waiting.
-I know, sorry. I'll be right there.
373
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,280
-You're such a pain.
-Don't worry. Soon.
374
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,720
If this is gonna work,
you need to get serious.
375
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,400
Shit. I'm waiting here,
and you're not answering.
376
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,560
It takes two to make a life.
If you're not up for it, say so.
377
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:03,360
Stéph?
378
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,560
-Stéph? Are you there?
-[indistinct chatter]
379
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,080
-Ah, my cuz.
-Why are you hiring Lamine? Bro.
380
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,360
[scoffs] What's wrong with you?
381
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,120
How many ways can I explain
we don't talk about that here?
382
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,320
Are you mad?
383
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,360
The kid's in a training program.
He has to finish. Please.
384
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,200
-Seriously.
-All right, come on.
385
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:25,640
Djibril, say hi to your uncle.
386
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,400
-[Stéphane] Hi, Djibril! What's up?
-[toy trills]
387
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,360
-[Djibril babbles]
-I don't give a crap.
388
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,240
-He's not working for you.
-Lamine's the same as the others, bro.
389
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,280
The boy wants food in his fridge,
same as the rest.
390
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,160
No, he's different, and for years now,
391
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,320
Marion and I have looked out
for his best interests.
392
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:40,280
Please.
393
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,920
Fine, I'll pay him for today
and send the kid home.
394
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,720
-Good? All right?
-[Stéphane] Okay. Thanks, bro.
395
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,400
All right, we'll begin with ten
to 12 days of hormone shots.
396
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,160
Then we'll begin collecting your oocytes,
397
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,040
and while we're at it,
your husband's sperm.
398
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,200
Or your, uh… From your…
399
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,000
I mean, is there a donor? Your husband?
400
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:58,640
-Supposedly, yes.
-I'm here, I'm here!
401
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,600
-[doctor] Ah.
-How's everything going?
402
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,680
-Hi, hon. Mwah.
-You're that guy on the TV.
403
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,040
-[Stéphane] Hmm?
-[doctor] On TV.
404
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:08,920
-It's you?
-Yeah.
405
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,360
Impressive. You murdered Andréï.
406
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,640
If you ran for office,
I'd for sure vote for you.
407
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,320
Him, campaigning? Oh, please.
Almost missed our meeting, didn't you?
408
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:18,680
It's just that I had an issue.
409
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,560
I'll tell you later,
but I'm here 200 percent, promise.
410
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:22,840
Right here, my love.
411
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,720
-You mean that, right?
-Yeah.
412
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,400
-You mean you know what'll happen?
-Yes.
413
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,240
Because I need to give myself
hormonal injections daily.
414
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,520
-It'll be quite hard, obviously.
-[doctor] Mm-hmm.
415
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,840
You have to provide some, uh, well…
416
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:36,920
-Uh, some--
-Your sperm.
417
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,880
-Sperm, and…
-Ah.
418
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,600
…you're also gonna have to make sure
it's fresh by tasting it.
419
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:42,800
-So, uh--
-What?
420
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,600
Oh, please. It's fine. Don't be a prude.
421
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,400
You just put a…
a bit on your lips, like this.
422
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,200
[putters] A bit like gloss, you know?
Just to see if it has any flavor. Simple.
423
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,680
But if that's too hard,
you just put it right here.
424
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,560
-Like a bottle, you know?
-Yeah, a bottle. [lapping]
425
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,160
There. And it's not that crazy.
Everybody's done it. It's not like, uh…
426
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:02,640
[sighs]
427
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,840
Yeah, I've tasted it. That's true.
428
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,520
[laughs] I can say that, yeah.
429
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,320
What's four percent?
Four percent isn't serious.
430
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,560
My mother could beat that.
It's four percent!
431
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,080
Still, he's stealing it from you,
the four percent, right?
432
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,200
-Yeah, I know.
-That's right.
433
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,040
Fifteen years.
He's been there for 15 years!
434
00:17:26,120 --> 00:17:28,680
And it was me who got him this job.
435
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,360
Me! [scoffs]
436
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,880
If I still worked in the Interior,
I'd red flag him, huh?
437
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,520
-Blé doesn't matter.
-No, he does matter.
438
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,760
The guy is just hot air. That's all he is.
439
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,960
So, tomorrow,
informally invite him to your meeting.
440
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,120
-Easy.
-[scoffs] No way.
441
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,120
We're fine, we'll make it,
but we must maintain voter diversity.
442
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,920
"Diversity."
You're pissing me off with your diversity!
443
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,160
Diversity is everywhere with you! Madness!
444
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,200
Under my flyers, in my campaign.
I'll have to go to bed with diversity!
445
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,960
[scoffs] I'm a giver. I give.
Where's my gratitude?
446
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,320
They spit on gratitude!
I'm left-wing, true, but I have limits.
447
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,480
-There.
-You wanna spend all morning on this?
448
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,200
-No.
-Good.
449
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:05,920
-But I needed to--
-Yeah, yeah.
450
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,640
Tomorrow, you'll give him some candy
and move on ahead.
451
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:09,640
-Hmm.
-Yeah?
452
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,160
-Yeah.
-There's more important things.
453
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,840
-Yes, my platform.
-Well, yes.
454
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,560
They vote for platforms,
and they also vote for…
455
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,560
a presence, an air, a look.
456
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,120
[chuckles] With his face,
I like my chances.
457
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,320
Yeah, but he's got style, a "thing."
458
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:24,280
While you…
459
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:26,600
Yeah, me?
460
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:28,760
We'll fix it.
461
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:31,840
All right, then.

Oh, yeah? He got hit?

-[dealer 1] Yeah, he did. I swear.
-[dealer 2] Well, he is a loser.

00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,840
-[dealer 1] He went flying.
-I'll call you back.
468

-Yeah.
-[dealer 2] Did he actually?

-[dealer 1] Shit!

-Just now?
-Yeah, they just got him.

-What are you doing? Go on now.
-Coming with you.

[Stéphane] I've told you three times!
479
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,800
His home situation's complicated.
That's why I'm here.
480

And if you're not his mom or dad,
or court guardian,

he can't possibly go with you.
482
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:22,920
