"I'll show you." "I got together what I could." "Sandrine yelled at me." "She just wanted you to take the lot." "I call them the grief boxes." "There's this..." "You've seen it?" "tragic DEATH OF A TOP MODEL I found her poems." "Totally spaced out." "Surrealistic." "Your letters." "There's two she wrote to you." "She gave you hell." "Who knows where this was or who they are." "D'you remember?" "Just before I left for England." "Fucking blues..." "You drove me to the airport." "Blues, blues..." "Should her cheeks be that red?" "She's teething." " Sandrine's working?" " ln a shop." "Part-time." " She doesn't like it?" " She does... lt pisses me off that she has to work." "Anyhow, we manage." "How's your work going?" "The work itself is finished." "I know." "I mean... the producer." "I haven't found a producer." "One seems hopeful." "He's the last." "I've seen every producer in Paris." "If this one doesn't work..." "What kind is he?" "Big." "A bit too big for the film maybe but he's interested." "By me anyhow." "He hasn't read it." "I'm worried he'll react like the others." "Still, we'll see." "I'm playing my last hand." "Thanks." "Don't worry, I never lose anything." "There's a guy you could see." "He knew my mother." "He isn't in the movies but he has money." "He's a cool guy." "The artistic type, like." "He deals in vintage cars." "I'll give you his number." "Okay, you never know." "Chas." "This is his mobile." "He's hard to reach." "It's 06 22 67 71 71." " Here." " You're hard up too... lt's okay, I've enough to get by." "Thanks." "That's Francois Mauge." " Don't look at him!" " He looked at you." "He turned round!" " How about now?" " Not now..." "Could I buy you a coffee?" "Yes, okay." "Were you laughing at me just now?" " You were watching me." " No!" "Far from it." "We don't make fun of passers-by." "Good, I'd have been hurt." "You would?" "Yes, I have no humour." "I recognized you." "We saw your new film just last week." "It was in a retrospective." "We loved it." "Thank you." "Right, Flora?" "It's bleak but really powerful." "What do you two do?" "We're actresses." "Well, I'm at the Lemoine academy." "My friend has more experience." "She's been on stage." "We may do a tour but nothing's confirmed yet." "Far from it, in fact." " Are you good friends?" " You bet!" " Known each other long?" " We met last year." "What's your name?" "Lucie." "I've had a quiet, ordinary life." "Parents who loved me..." "A boyfriend I hid after they went to bed... but no conflicts." "I've had a sheltered life." "I'm living with someone." "Not with him, but still living..." " Together." " Yes, in the same place." "I understand." "We met at 15." "We still need each other." "I wrote my first screenplay at 15 and it became my first film." "I knew I could do it but I don't know how." "When I was on the school bus, I'd imagine directing actors, telling them what I wanted and so on." "I knew I'd do it one day." "I've written a story." "I need a producer now." "Would you test for it?" "You're serious?" "This is it." "It's a working title." ""Sauvage innocence"." " ls it a true story?" " No." "It's a story I made up." "Even if, of course... all stories contain some truth." "Sure you have to go?" "Yes, it's for the best." "I said I'd be back tonight." "I have my audition tomorrow." "Help me." "Yes?" " Mr Mauge?" " Yes." "Mr Hutten will see you now." "Here." "Francois!" "How goes it?" "Come in." "I'll be frank with you." "I've always found your films to be..." " how can I put it - incomplete." "As if you had all the ingredients and the recipe but nothing in the plate." "Still, I haven't seen them all." "Far from it." "However... I have faith in you." "I have the feeling you'll make the great film we all expect one day." "I'm ready to bet on the next, that we'll make together." "What do you say?" "I know, you may not agree with me." "Here's what I suggest." "I won't read your screenplay." "You're a genuine auteur." "The screenplay's a white sheet for you, a canvas." "Right or wrong?" " Yes, but with this project..." " l'd rather you told me the story yourself." "So what is it you want to do?" "I want to make an anti-heroin film." "Excuse me." "Could you call me back later?" "I'm busy right now." "I'm not taking any calls." "Sorry, some people call 15 times a day." "You were saying?" "I want to make an anti-drug film and an anti-mafia film too." " l see." " That's what I'm working on." "Interesting." "Magnificent, even." "When do you plan to start?" "The time of year doesn't really matter." "The main thing is to start work on the cast." "And I need money for that." "How much do you need?" "I've found a great assistant." "I'll have to ask his price." "Will 100,000 do?" "That would be brilliant!" "I could start preparation." "Yvonne?" "Can we draw up a cheque for Francois Mauge?" "100,000 francs." "No." "Well, yes." "No contract." "He's in preparation." "Mauge." "Thank you." "We'll see to that later." "She's doing your cheque." "Okay." "Excuse me for a minute." "There's something I have to see to." " Sir?" " Nothing..." " l had an appointment..." " No one's here." "They've all left." "You have to leave too." "You have to leave, sir." "There's no one here." "That's not all, dad." "I called the next day." "I went back again just to be clear in my mind." "He saw me between meetings." "Very warm, honestly." "He seemed sincere and sorry about the previous day." "He was almost yelling at the girl over the intercom." "And, in front of me, he asked for a cheque for 100,000 francs." "I relaxed and went to wait outside during his next meeting." "20 minutes later, two guys turned up, the one from before and another, who said," ""Francois Mauge?" "Out with you!"" " That's crazy!" " Incredible." "Who is he?" "Some madman?" "You should beat him up!" "No, he's a famous producer who makes big movies." "The crazy thing is, in his last press release, he said he's producing my next film." "I read the thing." "It's ridiculous!" "He probablyjust wanted to appear avant-garde." "He's a cynic." "He's not the right producer for you, huh?" "I guess not." "You still haven't told me what it's about." "I'll let you read it." "Come on, tell me the story." "It's about a girl, a young woman," "who gets hooked on heroin and dies of an overdose." "Another film about Carole." "Parts of it are her story, but it happens to a lot of people." "This is more universal." "I want to make an anti-drug film because all the other films aren't anti-drug." "They make you want to try." "What do you mean?" "Drugs are linked to rebellion, to the very extremes of revolt." "The heroes are anti-heroes but remain heroes because they rebel or live outside society." "It's not like that." "Heroin is a plague, period." "The problem isn't telling kids heroin is banned." "They know that." "No, you must criticize it, smoking a joint." "Why smoking a joint?" "Otherwise, they see the system behind it and won't listen." "Maybe you're right." "If you feel that way." "Give me your plate." "Anyhow, my problem is finding a producer." "I have faith in you." "You'll find one." "I wish you could forget all this." "Precisely." "Maybe this is the best way." "A drug story, right?" "Yes." "A story against drugs and those who make drugs." "It's been done before." " What makes your story different?" " l don't know." "You can tell countless stories on any subject." "It's the approach that counts." "I want to make a film to demythologize and demarginalize addicts." "You should read it." "A story about drugs, to be honest, doesn't really grab me." " Where's it set?" " Mostly in Amsterdam." "A bit in Paris... and Antwerp." " What's the budget?" " lf l make it, if I have control, I mean, I'm sure I can make it for 5 million, 6 million tops." "6 million's a lot of money." "Hard to find... I need to think it over." "If I do it, it'll be for fun, not money." "But I don't want to lose any." "So I'll need compensation." "Screw the money." "I want to make the film." "It isn't easy finding a producer for this." "But I believe in it." "If you don't do it, it'll be tough." "Okay, I'll read it, think it over and we'll meet again soon." "Here." "See you round." " Am I late?" " No, I was reading the paper." "Six eggs." "If you make your film, let me do the costumes." "It's a deal." "Chicken?" "Lucie likes that?" "For you." " You like chicken?" " Yes, I love it." " A chicken." " How big?" "Average." "Good-bye." "I read it. lt's superb." "I like it." "Were you close to Alex's mother?" "Very, yes." "I thought of her as I read it." "It took me back in time." "But I didn't try to..." "Hold on..." "How can I put this?" "Were you very close to Carole or just a good friend?" "We lived together for three years, on and off." "How about you?" "She was a good friend, that's all." "I based a lot of Marie-Therese on her, that's true but I made a lot up and took things from life too." " And your own experience." " No, not at all." "Bravo, anyhow." "You could flog anything to me." " lsn't the crane a bit much?" " No way." "I'm poor." "Look how I dress." "I don't waste money." "We're up to 5 million, 650 thousand and small change." "Even with overheads, it's fair." "Now an important minor detail." "I have a favour to ask in return." "Yes?" "It's a simple job that'll bring all the money we need." "But I can't do it myself." "There's a case to fetch from Italy." "Can you do it?" "A case?" "A case of what you seem to know to bring across the border." "It'll give us the cash." "I don't understand..." "What's in the case?" "90% pure heroin." "Could I speak to Lucie, please?" "It's for you." " Am I disturbing you?" " No." "I need to see you now." "I can't right now." " Something wrong?" " l'm okay." "Can I see you for 5 minutes?" " No, not tonight." " Can't you talk?" "I can." "How was the meeting?" "I'll tell you." "You'll call me tomorrow?" "Okay." "We can meet up?" "Okay." "Promise?" "Yes." "Tomorrow?" "Tomorrow if you want." "I love you." "Me too." "Will you think of me?" "In bed tonight?" "Yes." "Satisfied?" "I'm sorry." "What's up?" "You seem different." "I'm fine." "I thought you'd left Augustin, that he was like a brother." "Sure, but why would I hurt him?" "How did your meeting go yesterday?" "All crap." " He said no?" " The guy's full of shit." " Want to take the bus?" " l'd rather stay around here." "Got the cinema listings?" "Want to come to my place?" "You're really weird today." "I need to talk to you." "is it serious?" " Because of Augustin?" " No." "What is it then?" "You don't want me anymore?" "Stupid... ls it that hard?" "It's about my audition." "It worked." "They want you." "I didn't expect it but they offered me a 4-month tour." "It's my lucky break." "I don't know what to do." "I'm worried how you'll react but it's important for me, you understand?" "Since the film isn't a certainty, I said yes." "I understand." "You did right." "After all, I can't guarantee anything." "That's what I thought." "I wanted to talk to you first." "You're right." "I'm through with the cinema." " l won't make another film." " You're crazy." " Why say that?" " Because." "You'll have time to find the money now, to rest a little." "Besides, it's no use being both depressed at not working." "You'll come to see me." "We can't spend 4 months apart." "Yeah, you're right." "I haven't signed yet." "is that why you fought with Augustin?" "Yes." "Why let me think it was over me?" "It was, in a way." "You're not being straight." "Wait for me!" "It's not possible." "I can't make my film without you." "For days and nights, I've seen you in the part and I can't imagine anyone else now." "For me, you've become Marie-Therese." "Before, I had no precise ideas about the film." "Since I met you, everything's clear in my mind, violently clear." "This film has become our film." "Without you, it's meaningless." "You've become a part of my life." "I know this tour represents your first steps as an actress but think hard before taking a decision that will prove irrevocable." "I'm saying this for your sake." "You're making a big mistake." "You can't compare a walk-on part in a provincial tour and the main role in my film which... unlike the play... will live on." "I promise you, I'll find a way to get the money." "I don't know how but I'll find it." "Maybe things had to come to this between us and I lacked the confidence to fight... but you've shown me how." "I love you." "I want you at my side, in this film" "and in my life." "Francois." "Okay?" "I've never felt this... I need you too." " What're you doing?" " Squeezing a spot." "You're crazy." "Go on, scratch my back." "I like that." "Make your mind up." "I said scratch, not flay me." " What're you doing?" " l'm thirsty." "Come back." "Show me your profile." "We'll make a great film... if you don't screw up." "Did you hear?" " What?" " l said, if you don't screw up." "Look, everyone I know tells me to do the tour, to take care of myself." "If you don't make the film, I'll end up high and dry." "If you do and want me in it, you'll wait." "So..." "Who's "everyone"?" "Flora, my mother..." "What good is this?" "We were happy together." "Why spoil it?" "I love you." "I don't want to split up." "I told you I'd make them wait for an answer so let's not talk about it every day." "Hello." "Come in." "How's it going?" "Okay." "Have a seat." "What'll you have?" "Tea, whisky, vodka, fruit juice?" " Tea." " Good idea, it's still hot." "I just spent 5 years in New York." "Kind of weird years." "I had problems there." "Here, help yourself." "I haven't had time to settle in." "I thought you dealt in vintage cars." "Yeah, on and off, with a partner." "So what made your mind up?" "I reckon it's better to make a film that'll be seen by thousands, at the very least, than refuse to carry a case and stay at home." "I reckon so too." "We'll do a good deed for once." "Just kidding." "Neither of us loses out in this." "What do I have to do?" "There'll be two trips." "One soon, I don't know when exactly," "in a month or two, to Italy." "Then another." "There's no risk for you." "The risk's an inside one, if you're spotted or if you're ratted on." "But you're a virgin, so to speak." "No one knows you, neither us nor the cops." "You stand one chance in 5,000 of getting caught." "Okay?" "In two weeks, I'll have cash for preproduction." "A sort of pledge." "That suit you?" "It suits me." "I'll keep you posted." "See you." "This is the place." "She spent 20 years here." "More than 20 years." "With her mother." "That was her room up there." "I only visited once but I remember." "She told me she'd escape at night." "Boys would wait outside." "They'd pile into a parent's car, six or eight of them and head off to Amsterdam." "That's how she started." "Why did you split up?" "I'm cold." "Let's go." "Look." "It really suits you." "Thanks." "I love walking in strange cities." "Hi!" "Marco!" "Lucie, the main actress in the film." "Marco, an old pal." "Shall we go?" "Yeah, let's go." "Pretty nippy, huh?" "It's okay." "It's about a girl we find in a dance hall who has her first fix of heroin." "She takes some home, to Antwerp, where her crazy mother's in hospital." "Her mother's discharged and moves in with the girl who starts shooting up." "Then we see her work as a model to try to survive and she hides a case at her place in return for heroin." "A lot of heroin." "Much later, back in Amsterdam, her mother's dead, and she's like a zombie, a junkie roaming the city." "That's the story." "This place is nothing much." "Why come all this way to end up here?" "We'll be based in Amsterdam so why shoot in Belgium?" " Can't Carole be Dutch?" " Marie-Therese." "That's her name." "So can't Marie-Therese be Dutch?" "No, if she's Dutch, she can't speak French to her mother." "If we shoot in Holland, no one'll know." "Sets like this, I can find anywhere, anytime and better." "Have you heard the traffic and planes?" "Okay, there are better places but it happened here." "Sorry about earlier." "It's like looking at the woman I love and asking me, "Why?" "She's ugly."" "I'd tell you," ""Maybe, but I love her."" "This is the same." "I can't share everything with you, except my sandwich." "You expected that?" "Yes." "Really?" "Was I wrong to?" " Liar!" " Cut it out!" "A friend from home makes them." "When you create art, whether it's in the cinema, literature or painting," "you have a view of the world and people and you think it's generous, making you meaner in daily life." "You have to watch that." "You're never superior." "It's really important." "She does pretty ones in blue." "Blue?" "I'm not sure..." "Great Bordeaux!" "I've seen artists' children suffer from their father's egoism." "A mother's is even worse." " ls it expensive?" " Not really." "If you're interested, I can get you a good price." "Pretty, huh?" "Don't smoke that, you're sick!" "I've run out." "Here." "is that me?" " lt's fantastic." " lt's nothing." "Come on, it's brilliant." "Look!" "Unbelievable!" "He does your portrait, not me." "I was fascinated by the guy." "He was a painter and an adventurer." "I was 20 when I read he'd killed himself." "It was a real shock." "We were living in Beirut." "Dad ran two gambling clubs." "Every night, he'd bring home a case stuffed with money." "He'd put it on a coffee table and open it up to let my brother and me admire it." "It's funny..." "He'd started out dirt poor and thought making money, bringing a fortune home, was being a man." "So my brother became a doctor with relief groups and I put a complete end to my graphic ambitions." "I used my father's contacts." "He knew the world's leading tycoons, Saudi and Kuwaiti families, all that crowd." "I used his contacts to start a business." "I sold luxury accessories for their cars." "I'd fit them with TVs, stereos, fridges..." "A load of shit like that." "Then, one day, I chucked it all in." "Why?" "My brother died in a car crash in Africa." "I thought for years you had to make money to be a man." "And now?" "Now?" "I'd say money is nothing but nothing's as good as money." "And you know it." "Your coats." "Thank you." "Here's yours." "I pinch you." "I nuzzle your neck." "You look fantastic in this light." "I could start shooting right now." "Cut it out." "I think he's in the mafia." "It freaks me out." "The mafia kills kids." "Capitalism kills kids too." "You know, in Middle East wars." "I have to make this film." "Money's always bloody, wherever you take it." "So when he asks me if..." "What?" "Nothing." "You'll have time." "The goods arrive by night." "You meet from 9 am on, on the road from Naples, at the first service area after Caserta." "Are you afraid?" "There's no reason to be." "I'm not crazy, I know what I'm doing." "I'm not a bastard." " Think I'm a bastard?" " l said nothing." "We'll get nowhere without trust." "For the journey." "Don't worry, it'll be dead easy." "Here, Francois." "Have a good trip!" "Going away?" "Yes." " For long?" " l'm going to live with Francois." "You'll miss the cat more than me." "You told no one?" "I'm wiped out." "By the way, what did you think of Napoli?" "Fucker!" "Esther, you'll have to move when they shoot." "Okay." "We have the Danube." "You mean Budapest, not Bucharest!" "What a jerk." "Bucharest's in Romania." "So how do you say," ""Miss, can I have a light?"" "In making an anti-drug film, I hope to contribute to saving the world from this shit." " Am I being a megalomaniac?" " No." "You feel ready?" "I'm okay." "How about you?" "I'm okay." "Not that way!" "What's up?" "What's going on?" "It's okay." "Diego and David, go over to your marks." "The soldiers go there." "Everyone to your marks." "Silence on set!" "Camera!" "Call!" "Sauvage innocence, scene 1, take 1." "Are you sure that was okay?" "It was great, really." "Wait while I change?" "I'll wait." "Francois, that looked ace, you know." "Do you prefer to give or receive caresses?" "What is this crap?" "It's not crap, it's a test." "So, what do you prefer?" "I'd say one goes with the other." "How about you?" "I prefer receiving." "Liar!" "You like to be hurt." "You're crazy!" "Cut it out!" "I'm tired, let me sleep!" "I used to go with a much older guy." "I adored him." "He didn't trust me because of that." "He said it couldn't last, that I'd leave with a younger guy..." "That I had to leave him." "In fact, he was cheating on me." "He'd say, "You're stuck to me like a limpet."" "One day, I really wanted to kill myself." "I bought some blades." "I couldn't stop thinking about it." "And then, he left the city to take over his parents' business and I moved back in with my old boyfriend." "There." "Let me see." "I'm from a small town called Zalaegersek." "This is the house." "There's a big garden you can't see." "My father." "He's too thin in this." "This is my boyfriend's father." "My mother..." "And this is my big love story." "He was Polish." "The story tore me apart." "I started travelling, singing in the street and everywhere." "My grandfather was a conductor." "I lived with him till I turned 18." "If you like, my mother's family..." " he was my mother's father - are all a bit artistic." "And this is my father's father." "And this one, the Jewish grandfather, was a waiter in Paris." "He was a waiter in Paris for years before the war." "And because he was Jewish, his name..." "Our name has been Hungarianized." "Our surname used to be Schwarb..." "So, since he was Jewish, he was scared when he went back to Budapest." "This was years before the war." "He was deported in 1944." "He never reached Auschwitz, he was killed first." "He was killed in a labour camp near Budapest." "That was a secret in our family." "No one told me until I was 18." "My mother was a real Communist, just like my other grandfather." "He started singing with the partisans, everywhere in the hills of Budapest." "He was a true Marxist-Leninist." "I came to Paris for a three-month course." "I didn't know where to go." "I thought I'd stay here." "I can manage here." "I had no money and no place to live." "It was really hard." "I started singing at the station and made 10 francs a day." "That was a really tough time." "Then, one day, in early June, I was singing at the station in the wind and cold, feeling like hell inside." "That day, I sang with my eyes closed." "Two very well-dressed gentlemen came up to me..." "And one was Chas." " Want some?" " No thanks." "Lucie!" "Coming!" "Bye, Nadia." "She's mean." "Will you write to me?" "Will you write?" ""Leave this branch on which you landed by chance."" "Huh?" "You don't say "huh", you say "pardon", young lady." ""Leave this branch on which you landed by chance."" "It's in your book, beauty." "It's a life lesson." "You'll understand when you're older." "I've only just started it!" "Stop that with the spoon!" " Going out tonight?" " Why d'you ask?" "You put your boots on." "You're totally senseless, huh?" "Mum..." "Come on, it doesn't matter." "Please, forgive me." "Come on, cut it out." "I'm sorry." "My little girl..." "My little girl..." "Please forgive me." "Marie-Therese is a dark planet who draws in the men around her." "A deadly Venus." "Her own beauty disgusts her and fascinates her because of the fascination and fear that she inspires." "Her life is a burden, it bores her." "Marie-Therese is a series of lost opportunities." "It's no problem now but if we carry on like this the character will lack a dimension, the power and madness that, I'm sure, you have in you." "The trouble is, you're just using what you want to show." "To play Marie-Therese, you have to use what you're trying to hide." "You have to act as if someone was reading your diary in front of you." "And if you need anything, don't worry, I'm here." "Francois." "About time!" " Something wrong?" " l'm okay." "Lucie's my friend!" "I saw the rushes yesterday." "You were brilliant." "Stop trying to comfort me." "Not at all." "You're genuine." "Very moving." "Thank you." "I love you." "is this what you want?" "I forbid you to search my things!" "You call this searching?" "You call this searching?" "You despise your mother this much?" " You leave this shit around!" " No!" "Stop it!" "is this what you want?" "is this what you want, huh?" "I forbid you to search my things!" "You call this searching?" "You call this searching?" "You despise your mother this much?" "You leave this shit around!" "Cut it out!" "Cut." "What's wrong?" "I can't do it." "Let me give you a massage." "Come over here." "Calm down, it doesn't matter." "Want some?" "It'll do you good." "You'll feel cool after." "Here." "I'll help you redo your make-up." "It doesn't do any harm occasionally." "Promise you won't tell anyone?" "Forgive me, I'm a jerk." "It's my fault, please forgive me." "Don't get so upset over a scene." "We'll just reshoot it another day." "Here, tickets for Barcelona, cash, the contact time and address." " The last time?" " l keep my word." "If we don't have enough to finish, I'll sort something out." "You mean all the money goes into the film?" " That's not your problem." " What?" "It's not your problem." "Problem?" "I have to go to Paris for money." "is it serious?" "He admires her for that and that's what hurts." "Her decline fascinates him." "It's as if, by taking over her suffering, he's able to forget his own pain." "That's why he puts her on a pedestal." "I feel so pathetic, so rejected, ordinary, if you like." "I love him but it all seems so unfair too." "Listen, if you want to make Francois forget Carole, start by forgetting her yourself." "Be yourself." "But there's the film." "I'm not Carole." "I'm not that violent or crazy." "I can't do it." "Hi, you've reached Lucie and Augustin." "We're not in." "Good-bye." "It's me." "I wanted to say hi." "Call me back if you want." "Here's my number." "00 31 20 68 40 949." "Today's Sunday." "Take care." "I'll be in my room until midday." " Are you staying?" " l'm staying." "Good-bye then." " You're staying because of me?" " No, don't worry." "Mind if I sleep with you tonight?" "I hate being alone." " Come on, if you want." " You're sure?" "Thanks." "At home, we listen to old people." "That's what's tough here." "I miss my family." "You've never wanted children?" "No." "I like children." "But they don't go with my life." "I wouldn't want my own." "Shit!" "What happened?" "I fell down some stairs." "Fuck!" "My poor sweetheart!" "I'll be okay." "Gangway!" "Look out!" "Thanks." "Excuse me, you have no reason to be here." "I'd like you to leave, please." "Marco!" "No one on the set, please." "I don't want that guy around here." "You're Marie-Therese?" "I know Gilles." "Mum, can you leave us for a minute?" "Gilles sent me here." "He said I could trust you." "Where is Gilles?"

"No." "What's the flash?" "When it rises up... lt's like..." "You can't describe a thing like that." "Can I try?" "You know how?" "No." "Want to do it or want me to do it for you?" "You'd better do it for me." "Let go." "Let go." "Okay?" "Don't move." "Come on." "Go on, lie down." "Well?" "Want to try?" "Does it hurt?" "Not a bit." "Can you do it in the backside?" "Yes, but you won't get the flash." "I prefer the backside." "I don't have time to talk now." "I can't talk to you, okay?" "is it because of me, sweetheart?" "No, it's not because of you."

" Am I disturbing you?" " No, you never disturb me." "Listen, Zsazsa told me..." "Don't waste your breath." "Hot, isn't it?" "Here." "Your whole life lies ahead." "I know, don't worry." "I have to go." "Thanks." "Hold on, I'll come with you." "I'm going." "That one was good." "It was very good." "You don't need me now?" "You've got 5 minutes, no more." "Thanks." "What next?" "100."
