"Take it." "Take it." "You haven't forgotten!" "Keep it." "It's for you." "You've got a girl now." "Thanks." " What would you like?" " A bracelet." " For a girl or a boy?" " A girl." " For a girl..." " Yes." " Something quite fine?" " A chain bracelet is good." "Can you engrave a name on it?" "Of course." "I designed something for the lettering." "We can't do that." "Maybe I can..." "I can show you this." "The bracelet plus the engraving..." "It'll be about 90 euros." "Alright." " Do you like it?" " Yes, but I can't afford it." " What's this girl like?" " I don't know." "What's her style?" "She's edgy." "With you?" "She's always edgy!" "I might have something." "I think this would be good." "It's cool when your dad's not here." "Come on." "I loved it when I was small." "And it helped me sleep." "Do you miss Ilias?" "Yes." "I hope he visits." "I used to look after him." "We were always together." "Mum wanted us to be close." "She wanted us to get on." "She'd always say, "The strong must protect the weak."" "It's a rallying sign." "I used to want to be like my brother." "I would count to 100." "It was like something was growing between my legs." "But there was nothing." "I wanted to die, but I'd start over again." "Are you sure you're a girl?" "Sorry." "Elodie!" "I've got to take her to dance class." "You're a pain!" " We're always late." " We won't be late." "Sit down." "Don't worry, it's clean." "Ever seen one of these?" "The guy was well old." "The singer must've been ugly." " What are you doing?" " See how she sings?" " Tell me." " What?" " What are you doing?" " It's a secret." "Why bring me here if it's a secret?" " Playing the superhero?" " Maybe." "Tell me, or I'll go." "Wait!" "Promise not to tell anyone?" "Are you sure?" "You do graffiti?" "Some tags make me think of dogs pissing."

"No later." " So?" " What?" "I hear you've found Vandal." "He's doing a thing at the station." "You found him just like that?" " Watch your mouth." " Chill, you!" " Don't touch me." " What?" " Don't touch me." " What you gonna do?" "I don't wanna talk to you." "You know what you did to me." "Everyone's looking at you!" "It's OK." "Do you want to go or not?" " You wanna go?" " Whatever." " You want to?" " Yeah, OK." "Come on, let's go." "I hope you're not talking crap." "You'd better not be!" "What is this?" "It's him, guys." "It's him." "Shall we?" "Let's go." "Where is he?" "Where the fuck is he?" "What the hell is this?" " He's there." " Get down!" "Get down!" "What you doing?" "Come on!" " What you doing?" " We can't leave him." "Not with your mobile!" "Your sweatshirt." "Fuck, it's..." " What you doing?" " I dunno how it works." "Dial 15." "You have to dial 15." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Not that way!" "You're awake?" "What time do you call this?" "What did we agree?" " Come here." " It's OK, Dad." "No, it isn't OK." "Right..." "Get to bed." "Alright?" "Hi!" " Carry me." " Alright?" " How are you?" " And you?" "Yeah, fine." "Happy to be here." "Hi." "Hi." "How's the building course going?" "He's behaving now." "I have a word now and then, but it's going well." "That's good news." "I've got a gift for you." "What do you think it is?" "A song." "Ask Philippe to put it on so we can have a listen." "Let's put it on." "You know what CDs are?" "No one listens to CDs, and he knows what they are." "I listen to them." "But you're a different generation." " I'm old, am I?" " No, but..." "Kids don't have..." "No one has them anymore." "Cheers!" "Cheers!" "To us!" "To love, happiness and success!" "Is it on, then?"
