"I'm not paying you for nothing." "OK." "It's OK." "You're really white." " I haven't much time." "I'm working." " Just a minute." " Go on." " She's marrying a Black," "Dorcy." "An actor." "Can you find something on him?" "A record...?" "You think everyone has one?" "You want me to look up someone who wants to marry my..." " Listen." "Dorcy." " This is my work." " My work has been looking after my brothers and sister." "It's not personal, it's brotherly." " Now..." " It's not that."

" I can see that in you." " Of course." " No problem." " No worries." "Really." "I need to feel this, this modelling clay I can shape." "To know that, you see, if I slap you, there'll be a reaction." "Have you ever cried on screen?" " No." "That would be a first." " To act, you must be able to use the pain inside you." "Otherwise you're just crap, one more useless actor." " Go on, laugh." "Are you laughing?" " Yes." "Go on, cry now." "Cry." "You must be kidding." "I need solid actors, who can react." "Guys that..." "Dorcy, I need you to suffer." "To cry for your race." "To strip naked and accept to have your face slapped." " To give me your all." " OK." "You're modelling clay." "I must be able to press it, press it and make you react." " I need you to give me everything." " OK." " You want to do it?" " Yes, I want to do it." "You're ready to give everything?" "We'll make a hell of a good film." "OK." "I feel I've been here before."

" You'll have a girl." " Really?" "With you, you must say." " Who else?" " If you say that," ""You'll have a girl", I may have one, with someone else." "Be careful." ""With someone else"?" "Do you realise what you're saying?" "Don't take it literally, Dorcy." "Stop it." "What?" "I'm joking." " "Someone else"..." " Of course not." "Be careful what you say." "If you say "I think you'll have a girl", it may be with someone else." "If you say "a girl with me", add" ""let her be happy and healthy, and us too", to make it right." " It's part of the formula." " It's a formula, that's all." "You're so touchy!" "I've found a pearl." "I've found the..." "The woman of my life." "She's Algerian." "One of yours." "You met her father?" "Seen her family?" "Made it official?" "Did it go smoothly?" "You haven't seen her father?" "You have to." "You must go and see the big brothers." "Or forget it." "She loves me." "We love each other." "That's the main thing." "You want to marry her, without seeing her father, brothers..." " Talk to an imam, he'll explain." " Why "an imam"?" " That's how it is, with us." " "How it is"?"

" Go shoot yourself in the foot." " Hang on." " Cool." " Guys..." " Are you joking?" " Go on." " Shoot myself in the foot?" " OK." "Let's talk." "Don't be silly." "Sit!" "Are you crazy?" "Are you mad?" "I'll tell you something." "I've a plan." "Leave the bike." "No one'll take it." "You're an actor?" "Don't worry." "I've a plan." "I'll give you good medicine, brother." "Stay here, cool it." "I like you, negro, but you get too angry." "Here." "A present." "From the Lord." "That's good stuff." "Let's go out." "Don't let him bother you." " Come on, stick your oar in."

" Nor me." "We talked about... the wedding you're planning." "It didn't go well." "What happened?" "He doesn't agree about... your future husband." " What do you mean?" " Your brother's a good friend." " I know." "OK." "You grew up together." "OK." "I was in nappies, playing marbles, etc." "So?" "You can't marry without your brothers' approval." "Imagine how your brothers feel!" "Hang on, am I dreaming?" "It's none of your business." "He's black." "That raises questions." "Why are you involved?" "There are 40 guys on my back." "I don't need 41." "So don't add more pressure." "I don't want to." "But the family's got to have a say." "Cheik, I don't need you to tell me what to do." "You go out with Arab girls." "You know that, Nadia." "I'm no hypocrite." "I love a black guy, I'm marrying him." "When I see how you treat girls..." "You'd better shut up." " Come on." " Nothing to do with it."

"No." "I'm a woman." "You're becoming the laughing stock of the family." "But that only bothers you, Slimane." " It hurts your pride." " Who is this guy?" "Slimane, you'll meet him at the wedding." "There'll be no wedding." " No wedding?" " No." "Know what?" "It's over." "I don't want to see you." "Stay here." "Bye." "I can't smile." "I can't smile." "Hello." " Salam." " What's up?" " Still doing jihad, bro?" " Why do you say that?" "You're stressed." "What's wrong with Sabrina?" "What's the problem?" "Because he's black?" "Come on, spit it out." "Spit it out, Slimane." "What is it?" "Among the brothers, some are weak, ready to do anything for you." "You're dangerous." "You're dangerous." "She's your sister." "Your sister." "Not your wife." "So?" "Did she sleep with him?" "Not married, and she slept with him?" " You've forgotten your origins." " No." "You've forgotten our values." "What values?" "Think back." "Being at home, getting your face slapped..." " You're talking to me!" " Shall I do him in?" "Go on, give me a gun." "I'll kill him." " I'll kill him for you." " I'm asking nothing." "Go back to work, Sami." "You're right." "You'll never change, Slimane." "You'll come to a bad end." " Don't you want him to change?" " It's fine." " Change your family?" " I can't change 40 guys." "There's no point." "40 Arabs: impossible." " But I want us to change." " Yes, in hiding." "For the moment." "Kosher, halal, whatever." "It bothers you?" "We're not hidden here." "We're in a park." "We're not hidden." "Dorcy, you're upset over nothing." " "Nothing"..." " Who are you marrying?" "Them or me?" " You." " So?" " But I want to know your family." "This is the 21st century." "You don't need to ask for their sister's hand." "You'll meet them." "OK." "It's complicated." ""Complicated", yes." " Not now." " It's too complicated, yes." " "Too complicated"?" " Yes." "Too complicated." " Got a cigarette?" " Sorry, no." "Cut!" " The End." " "The End."" "Metaphysics of a chair, 19, third." "Brilliant, brilliant!" " It was good." " Short circuit." " Light, please!" " It's the fuses." " Can someone fix the light?" " Don't you know how?" "Light!" "Get the light back!" "Could be the circuit-breaker." " Can someone fix the light?" " Check the circuit-breaker." " Eject the tape." " Was it good?" " Thanks, Dorcy." " Where's the tape?" " You're supposed to put a tape in." " It was working, you put the tape in." " You did it." " It was your job." " Are you joking?" "There was no tape in there?" "The best take, and there was no tape?" " They passed me the camera..." " It's sabotage." " Sort it out." " Dorcy, get back there." " Shit!" "Shit!" " You should have put the tape in." "You're total shits!" "Dorcy, come back, please." " Let me go." "Don't touch me!" " Dorcy, we'll do it again." "You're all useless assholes!" "Dorcy..." "This is my last short." "Shit!" "Again." "Can someone find that tape?" "No." "Have you heard?" "What?" "He dumped me." "No." "We had a technical hitch while filming, and he walked out." "I've tried to contact him." "He doesn't call me back." "I've left messages, he doesn't answer." "You're his agent, after all, you can..." "No?" "Yes." "Not on the phone." "I need to see him." "Where does he live?" "Wait a sec." "I can't hear." "Can you stop the car a minute?" "OK, I'm listening." "23, rue André Barsac." "Where's that?" "Oh yes, Les Abbesses?" " Can we go to this address?" " Yes, no problem." "To make it as an agent, you need more actors." "This is no good." "I won't let Dorcy spoil my film, you'll see." "She's one of our girls." " From where?" " Africa." " Mali?" " No." "Further down." " Ivory Coast?" " Further down." " South Africa?" " Further down." " "Further down"?" " Yes." "Where, then?" "Make yourself clear." "She's Algerian." ""Algerian"?" "No way." "You're kidding." "I won't accept this marriage." " I love her, Mum." " You love her." "No Algerians." "Yes, she's an African, but she's white." "She's white, I'm sorry." "I want a black African." "If that's how it is, get married, have kids, stay with your wife." "I won't see you any more." "I don't like that." "I'm angry." " How much for the hair?" " 70 euros." ""70 euros"?" " You won't..." " No, no." "You want to marry out." "Not with a black African." "You can't pay?" "Too bad for you." "That'll teach you to go after Algerians." " She's African." " I won't have it." "She's white." "I can't accept her." "Sorry." "You can organize the wedding." "I won't be there." "I'll come." "Algerians are Africans, Mum." "It's your responsibility now." "There." "Brother, don't listen to Mum." "Love knows no borders." "It's your choice." "Do what you want." "Thank you." "Let me go, Slimane." "Let me go." "That's enough!" " But..." " Stop it!" " Wait." " Keep away." "Don't touch me." "OK?" "Don't touch me." "Keep away." "Stop acting like a man." "So what, head of the family?" "What then?" "What do you want to know?" "What do you want to know now?" "What are you asking?" "If an Arab's stronger than a Jew?" "What are you asking?" "I wanted to say..." "I'm a wall." "It's my tradition." "You know what?" "I'm a big brother." "That's my job." "I'm father to my 40 brothers." "Father to my sister." "Can you understand that, you?" "I'll tell you something." "Know what?" "Yes, it gets me that you're a Jew, but I love you." "But I'll break the chains." "Know what?" "I'll break the chains." "I want you." "I want you to be the mother of my kids." "Look at me!" "Why are you looking down?" "Look at me, Nina." "Look at me." "Nina." "Can you believe what I'm saying?" "Look at me." "Can you believe it?" "I want to be the father of your kids, and you to be the mother of mine." "My beauty." "What do you want?" "Who gave you my number?" "You know who." "Think." "You've been away 30 years, and now you've come to look after the family?" "Leave her alone." "Leave her alone." " Since when did you care?" " Sabrina is my sister." "I'm her big brother." " You brought shame on us." " "Shame"?" " You slut." " What do you want?" " You've been forgotten for 30 years." " Listen to me." "I'm your big brother." "Calm down." " My big brother, eh?" " Yes, your big brother." "Don't forget that." "I've looked for him all my life." "More of a sister." "What sort of brother were you?" "30 years ago, who was the sister?" "You or me?" "I lived my life." "I had the balls to do it." "You didn't." "When they stoned me, no one was there to defend me." "When they called me a queer, no one was there." "You were more like sisters." "And Nina?" " What do you mean?" " Nina?" "Isn't she a Jew?" "No one tells you?" "I know." "I know about Nina." "Yes." " What?" " Hands off!" " Stay cool." " Take your hands off me." "Stop saying: "Cool", you slut!" " Stop it!" " I'm no slut." " I'm your brother." " Not my brother nor my sister." " Hands off or I'll kill you!" " Go on, shoot!" "Shoot!" "I'm already dead." "I'm dead." "Dying a second time's nothing to me." "Nothing." "I've borne a burden for 30 years." "30 years." "Because I was gay?" "I was gay." "Did it bother you?" "You forgot your life." "I know all about your life." "You know, you don't scare me." "Go on, shoot!" "Shoot!" "You know, Slimane, tonight's the Night of Destiny." "The gates of heaven are open." "I'll pray for you." "Dorcy?" "Yes, it's me." "Forgive me." "In believing in film, we've been on the margins, 9 years of desert before the light." "Wild or illegal, the cinema burns within us, and I love it." "Hold Back" "Sorry, I'm a poor student."
