"Nine months." "I pled for 8 but this DA lady stepped in." "Why?" "Had a thing for you." "She wanted to keep you around." "At sentencing, when they ask what you have to say, instead of clamming up, I go:" ""Your honor," ""guys I know inside got less for more."" "He laughs, says:" ""Send them in, I'll fix that."" "Good one." "I listened to these guys." ""I did this, I got that..."" "and like an idiot, I figure my case isn't so bad." "Bottom line... they throw in a month." " Asshole." " Your own fault." "Tell them how to do their job, they hate that." "Let the mouthpiece talk, that's why he's there." "Or just say you're sorry." "They like that." "I still got a turn." " Lazy fucks."

" Watch that lip." " What lip?" "She's a friend of his." "Sorry." "No, it's OK." " Problem?" " No problem, friend." "Put some music on, settle things down." "Where the hell is Jacky?" "Screws go on strike, he gets an extra day." "Coming straight here?" "His letter said Roger's." "This is Roger's, right?" "I say it is." "It's Denise's too, OK with you?" "Mom's awake."

"A must, right Denise?" "Hey Weasel, do I watch what your wife drinks?" "Shut the fuck up." "Is this a bad time?" "Jacky!" "Fuck, this is great." " You doing OK?" " Yeah." "Took you long enough." "You wouldn't let me come." "You're not a morning person." "Didier, a friend." "Nice to meet you." "You came too?" "Didn't want to miss you." "In case you go right back in." "My friend, Shackles." "The name is Alain." "Move over." "Give him air." "Nice color, for a man in the can." "The sun shines in the yard." "That new?" "We missed you." "Camille, set 'em up." "Here's to you, Jacky." "Seeing you like this takes me back." "When I got out of stir, seeing my sign outside, in big letters: "Roger's." Looking good." "It wasn't magic." "The lady did her bit." "What would I do without you?" "You'd fuck up." "What's on for tonight?" "We'll take him to Chloe's." "Don't waste time." "You'll see, it smokes." "No, thanks." " Come on." " Never." " Just one?" " Champagne, tendinitis." "Jacky, one more." "No thanks." "I'm going." "Already?" "Let's grab a bite." "I got stuff to do." "Come here a second." "Hang on." " No." " Quiet." " Keeping track?"

"He turns around and gives me this look." " And you?" " Me?" "How'd you look at him?" "You have to ask?" "Jacqueline!" " Somebody for you." " Coming." "Be right back." "No problem, I have to inspect." "Is that you?" "You all right?" "Fine." "Overworked, but fine." "Come on." "This a bad time?" "I'm with a client." "The letters stopped." "I started thinking." "Me too." "And?" "I didn't know how to say it." "I got to go." "See you later?" "To say what?" "You know." "Is it that hard?" "I wanted to wait but... 5 years." "Long time, I know." "I went by her store and saw her with some bozo." "If I had visiting rights, I'd have spilled it." "But a letter..." "Women, right?" "Not the women, it's the time." "She is hot." "I can't really see." "This place will go wild." "Round 3 a.m., 3 broads walk in hot to trot, it's live action here." "Got a girl?" " No." " The one at Roger's?" "Camille?" "You're crazy."

"Where'd you meet him?" "Around the projects." "I met him after you got nabbed." "He's a good guy." "And he can handle himself too." "These 2 scumwads hassled me." "Good thing he was there." "What else?" "Nothing." "Well... no, nothing." "What?" "Keep it quiet, it's embarrassing." "I take classes..." "Good." "What kind?" "Do you give a shit or what?" "You take classes, you're embarrassed." "She's got it bad, man." "Go ahead, hook her up." "You go, or I'm going." "Got any bread?" "Why?" "I'm tapped out." "Got fleeced again?" "You burn my ass." " Jacques?" " Got no self-respect?" "He just got out, he should pay?" "Listen." "After this, I'm "tapped out."" "You're my man." "Buy you a drink?" "Too late." "I'm not used to these places." "I'm Jacques." "You?" "Laurence." "A drink, somewhere else?" "All right." "Broad's a drag, right?" "Could be." "How much?" "You kidding?" "It's free for you." "Thanks." "See you later." "Later." "You're a piece of work." "What?" "He's splitting with her!" "Run the antique guy past him?" "He just got out." "You said that." "What are you, a broken record?" "You said when Jacques got out, right?" " Right." " So?" "There's no emergency." "No?" "We're busted!" "No sense talking now." "Jacques is gone." "I'm sick of this place." "Drop me off?" "I ain't hitting the hay." "What do you want to do?" "Oh no, count me out." "Great fucking night." "So I'm not your type." "It's no big deal." "You're just my type." "And I don't have a type." "Give me a hand?" "We never had that drink." "Won't kill us." "So what do you do otherwise?" "You mean besides going to Chloe's?" "Does it matter?" "I'm in fashion." "A designer." "We should've stayed there." "Why?" "I don't know." "Magic of the moment?" "I wasn't out for a moment." "I got to go." "We leave this to chance?" "What do you think?" "My number." "Good night." "TUESDAY" "So?" "Had enough sleep?" "It's hot, I just made it." "Get your mug." "You have an appointment?" "You have an appointment with welfare?" "Right." "No, that's tomorrow." "Then come shopping with me." "Can't." "I got stuff to do." "What stuff?" "My class." "And work?" "It's work, believe me." "Stop playing around." "You sleep in while I scrub floors." "That's work." "Jacques!" "How about that?" "!" "Come in." "You're here?" "Not up there anymore?" " They released me." " When?" "Yesterday." "Scratchy, but it looks good." "He might've mentioned it." "Francis, guess who's here." "Jacques." "You knew he was out, but you didn't tell me." "Come tell me all about it." "I'll get you coffee." "You shut up." "So?" "Not too hard this time?" "No, but I'm getting tired of it." "In a way, the way it's going nowadays, at least you had room and board." "Laugh, but some have no roof." "They sleep in the street." "Help yourself." "I'd rather be in jail." "Make some girlfriends." "You must have some real laughs, right?" "You're no thinner." "But it's no way to live, all cooped up." "What now?" "Thought it over?" "How old are you now?" "You better knuckle down." "Like this guy." "What'll he do without me?" "Heard his latest?" "Enough." "Going to see your uncle?" "Yeah, Lucien." "How is he?" "I remember he had health problems." " The leg?" " The hip." "The hip, right." "Like I always say, don't get old." "But nobody will listen to me." "You're in good health." "Use it, roll up your sleeves." "He started last night." "Yeah?" "He's pulling your leg." "You can't find work overnight." "More coffee?" "Didier!" "My skin cream!" "What skin cream?" "You use so much." "I just bought it." "Stuff costs a fortune." "I'll buy you some more." "With what?" "I got a thing on." "I'm so sick of "I got a thing on."" "My mother was right." "People will always need plumbers." "Yeah." "Let her do it." "Elbow-deep in shit for 700 in chump change." "I don't make 700." " Not taking me?" " I'm training." " I'm late." " Whose fault is that?" "Like the dishes wash themselves?" "Enough." "I'm ready, let's go." "I'm in running clothes, not driving." "If we get hit, how do I look?" "Like what you are." "The cop says, "You still here?"" "I go, "Still here?" "I said go fuck your mother!"" "You're really funny." "What do you mean?" "You're a funny guy." "Funny how?" "The way I talk?" "No, you're funny." "The way you tell the story and all." "Funny how?" "What's funny?" "You got it wrong." "He's a big boy." "He knows what he said." "What did you say?" "Funny how?" " It's..." " What?" "Just, you know, funny." "Let me understand this." "Maybe it's me, I'm a little fucked up maybe." "But I'm funny how?" "Like I'm a clown, I amuse you?" "I'm here to fucking amuse you?" "Get the fuck outta here." "I almost had him." "Ya pricks ya, he was shaking!" "That makes you laugh?" "Thanks..." "Not bad." "But the guy playing Tony, I wasn't buying it." "Jean-Hugues?" "No?" "He doesn't look the part." "That's what's so good." "It's like if you played a rich guy, or a brain." "Someone like that." "See?" "No, why?" "I look like an idiot?" "I'm just saying it's good to stretch." "He plays it his own way, but I thought Jean-Hugues was great." " And it was brave." " Brave?" "Camille, easy." "The only risk is catching a draft." "Courage isn't only how you see it." "Anyway, I started learning something." "I just need a partner." "Want to see?" "Plenty of girls in class." "That's true." "What're you doing?" "I got an appointment." "Be back after." "Right, later." "Not in the car." "Pain in the balls." "What's this?" "I had no time to change." "Your friend is Spiderman." "Look." " New?" " It's bitching, 3 for 100." "You said a shipment." "The dude I work with fucked me." "I'll whack his ass." "A shipment of 3." "A comedian." "What?" "With a shipment you can earn." "But this?" "Do dope." "I'll hook you up, swear on my mother." "Butt out." "Leave your mother alone." "He thinks we're chumps." "This is hot off the street." "Get the fuck outta here, Einstein." "Watch your mouth." "Get out." "Get the fuck out!" "I'm going to fuck you up." "What?" "Who you gonna fuck up?" "Beat it, or this'll get ugly!" "Fuck you in your shorts!" "What is this?" "Annoyed me." " Let's get a drink." " I need to change." " What did he say?" " Nothing." "Nothing." "What did he do?" "He left for the hunt, but you..." "See that?" "I'm acting." "It's the girl." "I wanted to be a dancer." "Hey, Jacky." "I have to come see you now?" " Roger in?" " No." "For the old man, what do you do?" "I got to do something?" "Isn't he still your friend?" "You took your share in the day." "That works both ways." "But now you're out and he's inside." "He's counting on us." "We all got to pitch in to spring him." "Bail could be high, you know lawyers." "Marcel, I owe nothing to no one." "The old man got me a score." "I came in, we split the take." "Period." "I tell him that?" "Whatever." "I'm busted anyway." "Scores can be found." "Hey everybody." "Francis, a friend." "Marcel." "Hi." "Think it over." "If you want a score to get straight, drop by and see me." "Bring your friend." "I'm counting on you." "What's this about a score?" "Don't miss a trick." "20-20, in both ears." "Serious." "I'm strung out." "Like I just inherited?" "All right then, let's do it." "Do me a favor, forget Marcel." "He's a headache, I know." "Oh." "A problem?" "One of them goes down, they're passing the hat." " You owe them?" " Nothing." "They peddle this honor bullshit." "I thought he was straight up." "Yeah, like a tombstone." "Come on." "Francis, don't go for this." "15 years fencing, his ass is never on the line." "So we make some scratch." "You trying to annoy me or what?" "I've been there." "So long, Jacky!" "Enough for today." "Who was he, the Godfather?" " Camille..." " What?" "Ever think about acting?" "You say something?" "No." "What's the mystery?" "I'll tell when I'm good." " You got confidence." " Why?" "I couldn't say that." "No, I mean when I've learned." "I'm just starting out." "Right." "Come in." "Don't stand there." "Coffee?" "No, don't bother." "Well?" "I got out yesterday." "I could use some water." "You know the way." "Lots of people at the funeral?" "I asked for leave, no go." "You got my letter?" "Yes." "She suffer much?" "Yes." "And your troubles didn't help." "So how's your hip?" "I go back to the hospital." "When?" "Thursday." "I'll go with you." "What?" " I'll go along." " Don't bother." "I will." "You put it here?" "Good." "That old car." "When I think of them, I see this." "The cemetery wanted them out." "Even dead they bother you." "What'd you do?" "I got a plot." "This way, we'll all be together." " Nicole OK?" " Yes." "Fine." "Nice little family." "She's happy." "She come see you now and then?" "When she can." "It's far." "She moved to Pontoise." "Well, see you Thursday." "What time?" "Four o'clock." "Need money?" "That's not why I came." "WEDNESDAY" "You can't go like that." "What?" "Nothing else to wear?" "To an appointment at the employment office!" "?" " It doesn't work like that anymore." " Well it should!" "Hello, it's Didier." "Is Francis in?" "You could buzz him in." "When you get a place, buzz him in." "Put him on a leash." "Relax, he don't bite." "Yeah but only you know that." "Good run?" "Bust our balls with their mutts." "I'll get myself a tiger!" " I might a thing on." " What?" "I have to think it through." "You take your time." "Where you going?" "Employment." "Or I lose my benefits." "Who gives a shit?" "2 bills a month, I'll take it." "My mom's raising hell..." "I got to get a job." "Too soon for Jacques." "You're thinking." "So what do I do now?" "Now take a shower and calm down." "Nice." "Way to go." "2 months waiting to do this." "The antique guy moves, we're fucked." "So we'll be fucked." "Shit!" "I had a restaurant." "Near the end I wasn't making it." "I got audited - bankruptcy." "You can't know how it hurt." "I was depressed." "So what do I do?" "I don't know." "Nothing." "A whole year." "Vacation." "I take the civil service test." "I don't tell anyone." "And here I am." "Good." "So what about me?" "I won't lie, there's no work." "Except maybe..." "Chauffeur." "Got a license?" "How's the pay?" "That's about... 1000 euros a month." "6500 francs." "You got it." "Don't forget tonight." " What?" " My mother's." "Again?" "I'm busy tonight." "Take the train." "Busy doing what?" "I got an appointment." "An appointment?" "Yeah." "With Francis and a friend." "You'll see them after." "I can't." "I'm busy." "I can't cut myself in two!" "Leave me the car." "The car?" "I don't lend the car." "I won't eat it." "It's old." "Only I can change gears." "Take the train." "Not at night, all by myself!" "OK!" "2 seconds!" "Ballbreaker." "Make up your mind." "So we'll go, what can I say?" "You win." "She better not get on my case." "She's there when we need her." "What the fuck?" "!" "Don't get crazy." "See you later." "Something wrong, faggot?" "Asshole!" "Cocksucker!" "What a dream world we live in..." "Stanley!" "How is my sister?" "She is doing OK." " And the baby?" " Not before morning." "They said get a little shut-eye." "Does that mean we are to be alone in here?" "Yup." "Just me and you Blanche." "Why you got on those fine feathers?" "You left before my wire came." " There wasn't no wire." " There was." "There isn't no millionaire." "Mitch didn't come back with roses." "Nothing but imagination." "And lies and conceit and tricks!" "Look at yourself." "In that Mardi Gras outfit, rented from some ragpicker 50 cents." "And with the crazy crown on." "What queen do you think you are?" "I've been on to you from the start." "Didn't pull any wool over my eyes." "You come in here, sprinkle the place with powder, and spray perfume, cover the light bulb with a paper lantern..." "It was great." "We could do lots of scenes together." "I'd like to." "Want to come to dinner?" "We're all going." "You were pretty good." "Thanks." "Let's go, I'm starving." "Not coming?" " Embarrassed?" " Why?" " If it's money, I'll pay." " You crazy?" "I'm not hungry." "I got stuff to do." " Your scene was good." " Yeah?" "Did you feel you were good?" "Bye." "What're you doing?" "Eating." "In the dark, like I wouldn't let you?" "It was not to wake you." "Should I heat something up?" "No, I'm good." "What time you get up?" "What time do you have to be there?" "Eight." "What's that?" "Don't go around with no money." "THURSDAY" "These motherfuckers." "Swiping grandmas' purses in the street." "We helped them cross." "And lifted a few bills on the other side?"

"I learned to play chess." "They're not prisons anymore." "They're loony bins." "In Fresnes you had bars, the big door, a screw to open up." "That was stir, real scenery." "Has it changed?" "Not the scenery, the mindset." "They yell for pills." "They nod off, don't see a thing." "What is this shit?" "He got a motorcycle outfit?" "Hey everyone." "Steal a scooter?" "Camille, make me some coffee?" "Coming?" "I took a job." "Had to." "Colette must be glad." "I'm only smoothing things over." "4 hours a day, I got time to spare." "To take classes." "Yeah."

"I'm hungry." "What's that?" "I'm only fooling." "Only fooling, but you said it." "Want to do my tryout scene for Conservatoire?" "Conservatoire?" "!" "I'm a lightweight, no?" "Who's this bozo?" "That's for me." "Where's she going?" "It's business." "Since I saw you, I thought it over." "I think in the Marivaux, you're great for Silvia." "Really?" "Francis, come here." "This is Francis." "We study together." "This is J.F. Malherbe, a director." "Where was I?" "What's really important for this character... is a total commitment to the role." "No false modesty." "Right, right." "A doper cops this in broad daylight." "Dope gives you wings." "I want 10% of the whole." "Labels are still on them." "That leaves you enough?" "Yeah." "So?" "It's about 200 large." "That's 20 for me." "You got it?" "OK, Francis." "It is Francis, right?" "You're Jacques' friend..." "He does know you're here?" "I'll trust you." "Take it on consignment." "You move it, bring me back my share." "That work for you?" "Yeah." "Thanks." "Take a video, bring it back with the money." "Our friend will square it." "Great." "Thanks." "Was it serious?" "Bank job." "The cops staked it out." "It all went to hell." "Twelve dead." "What?" "No." "We just took the money, and it went nice and easy." "Robbing nice and easy?" "Lots of things can be." "I'm glad you're here." "It crossed my mind you wouldn't call." "Let's get some lunch." "No, thanks." " Not hungry?" " I'm expected." "I'll tag along." "I'd like to take a walk with you." "No, I can't." "I have work to do." "Yeah, sure." "What?" "Last time, you were in a rush." "I get it." "I'm OK, for short visits." "I'll call." "Why don't I call you?" "Don't I get your number?" "Let me out." "What's your game?" "You think you just whistle?" "I don't think." "I want to go." "Yeah, go." "715... 945... 280..." "Seems like nothing in euros." "It's not nothing." "750..." "And 500." "Have you seen a 500 euro bill?" "The red ones?" "Two bills a month for a guy on minimum wage, right?" "Won't weigh him down." "This one would look nice on Josy." "Give me some air, I'm adding." "I'll put it aside." "Jacques in on this?" "I'll cover him." "Don't you say anything." "A surprise." "So?" "31,050 euros." "Which is?" "200,000 and change." "200 large!" "Just like he said." "Fuck, we can get 50 selling at 25 percent. 25 each!" "And no risk!" "You forgot Marcel's 20." "Oh right, fuck." "How much would this one be?" "25% - 120 euros. 800 F." "I'll take it." "Take it out of my share." "Want to get some coffee?" "She's going to like it, right?" "Fuck, the dishes." "I promised." "Right." "Where's your apron?" "And the lacy hat, but not today." "Hi, Josy." "I gave them a down payment for the electric." "We got till next week." "Relax, tomorrow's payday." "Make us some coffee." "Payday for what?" "A new friend, works in jewelry." "Right?" "What's this about?" "I got to run." "Wait." "The coffee." "That's OK, forget it." "See you later." "Bye, Josy." "You stupid?" "Well?" "Well?" " Look." " What is it?" "Can't you see?" "Where'd it come from?" "It's for you." "You don't like it?" "It's clean." "Am I stupid or what?" "Come on, just enjoy it." "It's nice, right?" "Let me see." "Want me to explain?" "Francis got us a handyman job for a jeweler." "Doing what?" "What?" "Fixing a heating system." "The guy gave Francis cash." "I saw the ring." "Right." "See that?" "I do a nice thing." "That'll teach me." "He's saying this, playing cards." "He's got a point." "Who's he to say that?" "That's different." "Really?" "Why?" "Going where the money is or taking down old ladies..." "Jacques!" "Oh, hi." "You here?" "I was going to get a smoke." "I'll go with you." "I wanted to get a bet down but all these chumps..." "You a gambler?" "I once made 80 large playing Baccarat." " Lost how much back?" " All of it." "There you go." "You hit an uptown store at night, who gets hurt?" "They're insured." "If you meet the owner, he's not thinking insurance." "He's traumatized." " You don't get it." " I do, but I don't agree." "Because of those working stiffs, I got no trifecta." "I had a tip." "Somebody's got to work." "Bust your ass for 8 grand a month?" "I might do it for 6." "Take me for a chump?" "You like that word." "What's a chump for you?" "A chump." "An asshole who works, pays taxes." "Who sweats every twenty, who doesn't live." "To make it to retirement." "I'm loose." "Sun don't always shine, but I'm free." "No boss to bust my balls, right?" "Can I get one?" " You smoke?" " No." "Once in a while." "Where was I?" "Francis said you did Georges V Furs." "Musta been a juicy one." "That was ages ago." "There, that's a chump." "A real chump." "Maybe, but he found the garbage." "See you round." "Ready?" "OK?" "Madam, if you knew..." "I speak now." "Six months, hiding my flame..." "You are off book?" "I just want to be sure." " You can't play and read it." " Yes, I can." "Try it." "If you screw up, no big deal." "Start over." "Madam, if you knew..." "I speak now." "Six months, hiding my flame, I ran." "Wait." "You come here, then kneel." "Then kneel?" "On my knees?" "Why?" "I mean, before a queen..." "Right, yeah." "Madam, if you knew." "I speak now." "Six months hiding my flame, I ran..." " Kneeling is stupid!" " No." " I feel stupid." " No way." "It's stupid, period." "What is it?" "A man doesn't kneel?" "You jerk!" "Tell me if you won't work." "I have no time for this." "What?" "You're in my face." "I'm just telling you." "No one talks to me like that." "Lucky you're..." "What?" "A girl?" "Stop it." "Francis, this is work." " I get it." " Sorry!" " It's not my thing." " Yes it is!" "I'm sorry." "Come back!" "The character kneels, not you." "Please." "Try it again?" "OK?" "Madam, if you knew." "I speak now." "Six months hiding my flame, I ran." "I fled you, suffered much withal," "I pay no heed to these men at all." "I love you." "I dare say it to your face." "Tell me what to do now, Your Grace." "Say "die" and I shall cease to live." "Trembling, I ask you to forgive." "Oh speak!" "Delight me." "Never has one spoken to me thus." "Does it say she does that?" "No, I just felt it." "Trembling, I ask you to forgive." "Oh speak!" "Delight me." "Never has one spoken to me thus." "Your soul's speech overwhelms me." "I need your eyes." "I need your voice." "He shoots pool like he plays cards." " Where were you?" " Relax, I'm here." "Got the hardware?" "I saw Jacques." "What a headache." "Why?" "Lecturing me, almost a dis." " You mention the jewels?" " Hush-hush means hush-hush." "I got something for you." "Can I?" "Hi." "Can I look?" "There it is." "Yeah, nice." "Got a neon sign?" "Relax, it's our place." "Why don't you tell a guy?" "I make a call, I get a cut." "It just came up." "No time." "How much?" "25%." "Check the store price." "Nice, but it's got a flaw." " An expert?" " I've seen a few." "You've been around." "Want it?" " What if it don't fit my wife?" " Get a new wife." " Go see a jeweler." " Say your wife's finger got fat." "That all you got?" "No chains?" "I'm no salesman." "Those are rings." "Nice, but..." "I'll think it over." "Right, you think it over." "I'll take these." "How much?" "You picked the cream." "2800, that's 720." "500, 6250." "Call it 6000, OK?" "I couldn't know." " Tomorrow?" " Not tomorrow." "Yeah, tomorrow." "Fine." "Like hotcakes."

"I'm at work." "Leave me alone now." "What's wrong with you?" "Jacques, we had fun." "But I'm not free." "Or a designer." "This your catwalk?" "Surgeon, wife and mother." "OK?" " I was honest." " I never asked." "What you like is going to Chloe's to pull a train." "Why do you "go there?"" "That's different." "Different?" "That says it all." "I thought it over." "Hold the ring." "I know guys." "I could always move it." "I'm counting on you." " Trumpet." "Never stops jabbering." " He knows everybody." " Harmless." " He better not be!" "Francis." "O rage..." "O despair..."

"What do you think I read in the joint, Mickey Mouse?" "Some actor." "Never heard of Corneille." "What the fuck?" "Who told you?" "What am I, a rat?" "You're an actor?" "Serious?" "You like it?" "I got friends in the theater." "I can see you in tights and patent leather shoes." "Go ahead." "What?" "Let's see some." "I went to the theater once." "Left at half-time." "Come on." "I didn't wimp out." "Not here." "These guys." "Shut your fucking traps." "Go ahead." "Madam, hear me, dreams fill my head." "I love you from the shadow where my disarray has led." "Your person I dare not touch." "Your vision, so angelic, does dazzle me so much." "Verily I have suffered." "Madam, if you knew." "I speak now." "Six months, hiding my flame, I ran." "I fled you and suffered withal." "I pay no heed to these men at all." "I love you." "Try that at Chloe's, we're dead." "See?" "I told you." "You jackasses." "It's only theater." "Can't we have a laugh?" "What's that?" "It's for you." "Don't like them?" "That's not the point." "See you later." "How you doing?" "I just got wiped out." "Got any cash till tomorrow?"

"Soon I'll be buying them at the store." "Yeah?" "Please, give me some air." "I need..." "FRIDAY" "What?" "Did you see the ring?" "No, why?" "I put it here, it's gone." "It must be there." "It's not." "Give me that." "In here?" "You're sure?" "I give her a ring." "One day, gone." "What?" "I put it in there." "Yeah and now it's gone." "You took it to gamble." "Did you bust a nerve?" "I didn't like that gift anyway." "A 1000 euro ring, you don't like it?" "I shoulda took the money." "Stop playing me for an idiot." "There's no talking to you." "I explain, you don't believe me." "I bring you a ring, it must be hot." "Lose a thing, it's me!" "Always me!" "Your mother gets the flu, it's me!" "Like my grandma's chain." "Never found that either." "Leave me the fuck alone with this ring!" "I didn't fucking touch it!" "We're not far, leave a message." "Didier, where the fuck are you?" "I'm waiting." "No rehearsal room tomorrow." "My place?" "Your place?" "Or yours, if you want." "Yeah." "No, not my place." "It's a mess." " So my place?" " Yeah, OK." " You OK?" " Yeah, why?" " What's that?" " A kiss." "That's no good in here." "Who's this creep?" "That's for me." "I got it." "It's a bar." "He can't come in?" "Spend some money." " Camille, your book." " See you." "Careful where you go." "Look who's talking." " You OK?"

"You fell for her?" "It couldn't last." "Women are a headache." "And men aren't?" "You should hook up with Camille." " She knows what she wants." " She does." "To do theater." "That's good." "So do I." "Yeah?" "The classes." "That's it." "No kidding?" "You like that?" "But it's not easy." "You're out on a limb." "Like a score, your blood races." "But more of a thrill." "Do it." "Another thing." "What?" "I went to Marcel." "He spotted me some jewels." "I warned you." "It's all sold, but..." "But what?" "Didier was to pick up the rest - 40 large." "Some guy." "He left the rings with him, and..." "And what?" "I haven't heard from him." "You went behind my back?" "I was strung out." "I didn't want to hassle you." "Funny way of showing it." "Let's go work this out." "19." "18." "7, 14, 21." "How much did he lose?" "A lot." "Motherfucker..." "What did you do?" "You're dead." "Didier, you're there." "What the fuck is this?" "!" "Open up!" "Why the fuck didn't you come?" "Josiane split." "Really?" "Fuck." "This wild thing happened." "I went to see my friend, the guy." "He hands me the envelope." "I don't know, this and that." "I get there, no more envelope." "I lost it." " Bullshit." " I swear." "I searched my pockets, retraced my footsteps." "This only happens to me." "Enough with the song and dance." "You played the money?" "I swear, Francis." "I didn't gamble." "I lost the envelope." "Fuck." "A real dynamic duo." "Know what's next?" "Marcel comes for me." "This isn't on you." "I explained how it works." "They're morons." "Marcel butts in, we whack him." "You think he's an orphan?" "Know what a chump is?" "A guy who can't do squat, thinks he's hot shit, a critic, who can't own up to his own shit." "Don't you fuck with me!" "Hey, stop it!" "I'll bash his face in!" "I said stop!" "Your fuck-up and you're the one raising hell?" "Wait up!" "Wait up!" "It's at least 200,000!" "I don't care." "Guy I know worked for him." "Antique guy, wife, one kid." "We show up, he opens the safe." "Robbery and kidnapping." "Great." "We cased it a few times." "We sit outside, he's alone upstairs." "We go in, piece of cake." "Then why do you need me?" "I wanted you on it." "Thanks but add it up." "I've done 10 inside." "I'm sick of checking my back for cops." " Throwing it in?" " I ain't stubborn." " And Roger?" " What about him?" " Can he dig us out?" " He carried me 5 years." "Think I paid my rent from the can?" "Enough." "You're ditching me?" "I'm ditching you "?" "!" "The nerve!"" "You cut me in when you're jammed up." "I can't pass up 200 large." "Head above water." "For my mom." "Buy her a bus ticket for visiting day." "Fuck it." "I'll get by with Didier." "Right, yeah." "When the shit hits the fan, he's got moxy." "Lots of moxy in the yard." "SATURDAY" "What is it with you?" "You walk out?" "Not a word?" "Why?" "Why?" "What did I do?" "Josiane, answer me!" "What is it with you?" "Excuse me." "It's the ring, right?" " That's enough." " Who asked you?" " That's my wife." " She's busy." "Two minutes!" "Look, Josiane!" "Here it is!" "It was under the washing machine!" "I didn't lie to you, Josiane!" "Nice ones." " No luck, huh?" " No." " Forgot the serial numbers?" " He had no time." "Right Weasel?" "The heist wasn't me." "I wanted to get healthy fencing them." "OK." "You know the moves." "They didn't just appear." "If my perp isn't here, where is he?" "All right." "If it's hard, forget this perp." "What do you have for me?" "Nothing." "Too bad." "With your paper, your wife might not wait around." "And if I..." " You'll cut me loose?" " Get real." "Do me a solid, you get receiving." "I'll write it up nice." "You want a medal?" "!" "I was giving up." "I'll take that." "Your friends want you." "What?" "You should've stayed inside." "Save you the commute." "You got a way with words." "I do what I can." "We brought you up like our daughter." "I know." "Nicole did everything right." "Park inside the bar." "That way I'm dead." "Who's he?" "No, he's a friend." "Is your friend in on it?" "I don't know." "Fuck, I'm hurting." "Don't worry, we're right here." "What you did crossed the line." "Spare me the puppy dog eyes." "I'm bummed." "We've been waiting months." "Enough." "Give it up." "See you there." "We're moving." "Hey, let me go!" "Stop it, let me go!" "Uh-oh, looks like a rumble." "Stay out of this." "Get out of here!" "Stop!" "Psycho!" "Do I look impressed?" "I don't need this." "Neither do you." "What're you doing?" "I'm coming." "Who's the hero's buddy?" "That him?" "See that?" "Nobody died." "Let's move out." "OK, we're rolling." "Got a tail on a Merc with two guys inside." "Cross Marcel, he can get ugly." "Could wind up on the 6 o'clock news." "So I'm fucked." "In for a penny..." "Neighbor across the hall?" "No, it's all theirs." "You show up with flowers." " Why me?" " Because." "They can't ID you off a mug book." "We get in quick, cut off the yelling." "Get a big bouquet." "And heavy-duty tape." "Tape?" "You want them chasing after us?" "And the piece?" "I got that covered." "How are you?" "You got troubles." "Sorry, Roger." "I need the piece." "Come on in." " I total up, we have a drink?" " No, thanks." "Go on upstairs, you look tired." "No, I'm fine." "Really." "Turn on the TV." "I'll be right up." "I don't feel like it." "I don't feel like talking." "I'll talk to Jacques." "Jacques doesn't want to talk." "And that, too." "What?" "I wouldn't make it without that." "8 years of visits takes a toll." "I shoulda split." "I'm an idiot." "I'll go talk to myself." "You got troubles, I'm here." "Sure?" "A sudden opportunity." "Weren't you towing the line?" "That job?" "No choice now." "Come on, Jacques." "We always got one." "I hope you thought it through." "Some hotshot." "Talks shit, but on the job..." " Shut your face." " I'm saying." "Seen the time?" "Flowers at midnight!" "There he is." "Where'd this ugly guy come from?" "What took you so long?" "Got the piece?" "Well I'm ready." "I'm not going." "What?" "You kidding?" "You shitting' bricks?" "Right, I'm shittin' bricks." "Fuck." "Let's go, you and me." "Come on!" "What's he doing with his bouquet?" "Let it go." "Give it to me." "Think." "A lot can ride on a little." "What about the guy leaving?" "Give me the radio." "This is Roland, we're a go." "Give us back-up, ASAP." "Ready?" "Wait." "OK, ready?" "Yes?" "What is it?" "Mrs. Le Garrec?" "Flowers for you." "At this hour?" "Sorry." "Yes." "Thank you." "What the fuck?" "Forget it." "No way." "Fuck that." "You can't chicken out." "Fuck it, let's go together." "Yes?" "I forgot to have you sign." "What is this?" "Forget it!" "Shut up!" "What's going on?" "Come on, let's go!" "We're out of here!" "The lights, fuck!" "Lie down!" "Lie down!" "Do it!" "Don't move." "Slide the gun over." "Don't move." "SUNDAY" "Morning ma'am." "This way?" "Where's your room?" "All right, enough." "Did you do that?" "It's good." "Shame." "Let's go." "A FEW DAYS LATER..." "Haven't seen your friend Francis." "You know he owes me?" "Francis is in the joint." "So for the 20 G's, you'll wait." "And it's another guy who owes." "Hang on." "Francis is your friend." " So?" " Me, sit on 20 large?" "Sit where you want, but forget me." "And forget my uncle, too." "I owe nothing, to no one." "Want something, Marcel?" "Camille, for you." "Camille," "As you see, I moved." "I'm OK, I hope you are too." "I think about you, and my mom, who I left alone in her kitchen." "Jacques was right." "A lot rides on a little." "Sorry about your audition." "I can't do the scene." "I think I got off light." "Didier said he set up the score." "He was stand-up." "Funny." "I heard he went back to his old line of work." "Fixing the cellblock plumbing." "If you got time to visit, I'd like that." "Francis." "P.S. They got a theater workshop here." "I'm a lucky guy." "Subtitles:" "Michael Katims" "Processed by C.M.C." " Paris"
