"Previously in the Service... 13,000 francs' worth of bra on her!" "1,300,000 old francs!" "She's too smart." "STAMPED" "Do you fancy her?" "Yes." "A lot." "So tell her." "I really like you." "My folks want to meet you." "STAMPED" "One: you stop seeing my daughter." "Two: you stand in for Calot," "Jacquard and Moulinier." "Who said you could match them up?" "I thought..." "I'm in charge of Blue Jerboa." "Thanks to our intelligence, the explosion went ahead." "Long live the General!" "Long live the atom bomb!" "Long live France!" "You can't have a medal because you aren't permanent." "Your first bonus." "The Atomic bonus." "I'm not sure your father's very keen." "Is that enough to take you away?" "No." "WHEREVER NECESSITY KNOWS NO LAW" "Women are the pages of a book: my life." "It's a book that I write day after day, sometimes gay, sometimes disenchanted, always passionate." "Kiss me, André." "It's a book that I write day after day, sometimes gay, sometimes disenchanted, always passionate." "Merlaux, are you going to kiss her or not?" "What are you up to?" "What?" "The phial, Merlaux!" "Sh..." "Sugar!" "Back to the top." "It's a book..." "No, no." "Cut to the kiss." "It's such drivel." "Thanks." "It isn't yours." "No, but I've often used it on missions." "OK, now." "Phial!" "Shit!" "Why is it always me?" "The aim is to sleep with the target, but also poison her!" "You must realize, Merlaux, that they won't all be this easy." "Sorry, Nathalie." "OK." "You may get two seconds: you're off." "Not that far!" "Nathalie..." "A VERY SECRET SERVICE" "Has Sophie seen her André again?" ""Her" André?" "He isn't "her" André, for pity's sake." "She won't see him again." "I wouldn't be so sure." "She seems keen on him." "I tell you, it won't last." "You could at least ask what his intentions are first." "I wouldn't be surprised if he proposes." "Stop dreaming, Irène." "Why do you say that?" "He seems a nice boy." "He may seem so and not be so." "What have you got against him?" "You don't know him!" "I just want Sophie to be happy." "Yvon too?" "Of course." "We won't be seeing that André again, trust me." "You aren't always right, Maurice." "I'm exhausted." "Goodnight." "I really think it's too soon, Colonel." "Moïse, you've been telling me about Merlaux for ages." "He's good." "He's very good." "He outdoes others on tests." "Tests, Colonel." "Why American everywhere?" "What's wrong with "trial"?" "Yes, but "test" sounds new." "And Merlaux really is an asset, but a solo mission..." "His training isn't over." "If he's as good as you say, we need to check that." "See what he can do." "What sort of mission?" "C." "A C mission?" "A solo mission is... but it's much too early for a C!" "He isn't ready yet." "Colonel, allow me to remind you that the regulations are clear:" "if a trainee succeeds on a C mission he is taken on permanently;" "if not, he is dismissed." "That would be a shame." "But why would he fail?" "It's madness." "Thank you, gentlemen." "Call Merlaux." "Kiss me, André." "WAR SERVICE DIPLOMA" "FRENCH RESISTANCE MEDAL" "I prefer to warn you:" "this is a much more delicate mission than the others." "Very well, Colonel." "Fouad Soliman." "The target." "Fouad Soliman." "Lebanese armorer." "Lebanese armorer." "Are you a parrot?" "Yes." "No." "It's to help me memorize." "Don't make me regret this." "Soliman says he has important documents for us." "The meeting place is the Duc de Windsor." "Documents for us..." "Not again!" "Sorry, Colonel, but..." "If he himself wants to give them to us, what is my mission?" "What do you not understand?" "Well, you said it was a delicate mission." "Yes..." "Once I have the papers, must I..." "Eliminate him?" "Absolutely not!" "The target is a great friend of France." "He renders us many services." "He must not be offended or annoyed." "Treat him well." "Very well, Colonel." "Clear, now?" "Yes, Colonel." "Will there be two of us, or three?" "It's a solo mission." "Seeing how well you've done on the tests," "I've decided to entrust it to you alone." "This mission must not fail at any price." "Very well, Sir." "Do not disappoint me, Merlaux." "No, Colonel." "You may leave." "André!" "Miss Clayborn?" "Are you... on a mission?" "Soliman's waiting for you." "Come along." "But it's a solo..." "C mission, yes, I know." "Is anyone here?" "Mr Soliman?" "Mr Soliman?" "Sorry, I..." "On a courtesy mission, the important thing is satisfying the target." "What?" "Come on." "A courtesy mission?" "But..." "I haven't done that module yet." "That one's just a formality, anyway." "I don't think this is a good idea." "It's what the target wants." "The target?" "Must not be offended or annoyed" "If he wants it..." "Help me, will you?" "It's the first time I've..." "I mean..." "My first..." "Courtesy mission?" "Mission, in fact." "It's a privilege, André, to be your first." "Let's make sure the target is fully satisfied." "Don't disappoint me" "This mission must not fail at any price" "Don't disappoint me." "Thank you." "Merlaux." "How are you?" "Fine, thanks." "Did you give up your module?" "I had a mission." "Q.E.D." "The Colonel wants to see you, now." "No, I didn't get it out." "But it was 1.5 cm out of line!" "Badly aligned, is all!" "No file has ever been out of line by as much as a millimeter in 27 years!" "All right, Gufflet!" "So someone else has looked at it." "Come in!" "Leave us, Gufflet." "It's sabotage, that's all!" "The papers from target Soliman, Colonel." "Thank you, Merlaux." "And well done." "We needed to have these papers." "I only did my duty, Colonel." "Thank you, Soliman." "It's only natural, Colonel." "And my passport?" "Your passport?" "Your passports!" "Here they are, nice and fake." "Lebanese, French, British." "You do travel a lot..." "I see you know what I do." "Merlaux, your successful mission crowns swift and convincing learning." "You are now a Category A, Grade one agent!" "A Cross of Bravery." "Shame to spoil the nice suit." "Well done, Agent Merlaux." "Am I on board?" "Yes." "You've cleared the final hurdle, André." "We've all done it." "May I?" "Well done, André." "It's partly thanks to me, isn't it?" "Here, Merlaux." "Well done." "Thanks, Jacquard." "Welcome." "Thank you, Moulinier." "You make out you're a fragile virgin." "Women fall right into that trap!" "Q.E.D." "Remarkable." "How do you do it?" "Someone gave me this for you." "More good wishes?" "You deserve them." "Let me kiss you." "Thank you Marie-Jo." "Thank you." "Excuse me." "Mr André Merlaux." "Mercaillon." "It seems we should talk." "My house, 8 o'clock on the dot." "Good evening." "Colonel?" "Surprise!" "I had you, didn't I?" "Where's your dad?" "I sent the message, silly!" "To my work address?" "I'm a secret agent." "Didn't you know?" "It was on your suit bill." "SOPITEC." "That is where you work?" "SOPITEC?" "Yes, yes, SOPITEC." "You like unusual meeting places," "so I thought you'd like this." "Yes." "Come on in!" "No!" "That's not a good idea." "Come on, my parents are both away." "Your brother?" "Yvon's at work." ""Students must learn the value of work."" "This isn't right." "What are you on about?" "This is a one-off chance!" "Just the two of us." "When we do it..." "We will, won't we?" "Yes." "It must be magic." "The best ever first time." "Women are the pages of a book." "My life." "It's a book that I write day after day, sometimes gay, sometimes disenchanted, but always passionate." "What do you think?" "It's lovely, Mr Calot." "Did you write it?" "Yes." "Are you kissing me..." "for myself or because of what I said?" "Subtitles:" "Victoria Britten"
