The New Kid (Le Nouveau)

THE NEW KID

- So, how did your week go? - Why?

You must've made friends after a week at school.

Drop it.

Nino has made lots of friends.

How many friends have you made?

8.

8 friends!

You need to go up to people.

They won't come to you.

That's how it is.

Yeah, I go up to them.

He's shy.

I was shy, too.

But you have to open up.

Get off my back.

Just one thing: Guys who get their pee-pees out in class...

Hey, it happens. Well, those guys end up failures.

I promise you. I know one like that.

Today, he's...

He's a bum.

A bit like your uncle.

You'll miss me when I've gone.

I need to build up my thighs.

Why do I have 8 friends and he has no friends?

Because he's shy.

Why are you shy? There's no point being shy.

Can I come in?

Yeah.

Why don't you take some chocolates to school?

- Chocolates? - Yeah.

Offer one to someone, ask their name, then strike up a conversation.

Think I'll take chocolates to school

and say "Be my friend"?

Yes, why not?

Think I'm a loser?

Is anyone hungry?

Hungry?

Want one?

No.

You could prepare the pollution part.

You talk too quick. Me not understand.

You don't understand a thing, do you?

I won't pair up with you.

Help yourselves.

No, beat it.

Go do your coloring!

What the hell?

Give me that.

I was giving them some.

You didn't dare.

Can I have one?

Not to a thief.

Everyone had one but me.

Silence, please.

Wow, Charles is on time!

Thank you, my friends.

Oh, OK, a peck on the cheek.

Go sit down.

Now be quiet.

Astrid!

- When's your party? - Mystery!

What a girl!

Stop being such a girl!

Get lost. Go on home.

OK, new guy?

Yes, thanks.

I'm Constantin. I've been schooled here for 3 years.

OK.

You have to give me this back tomorrow, signed.

What is it?

It's to sign up for the school choir.

Is it compulsory?

No, but...

lots of people want to sign up for very few places.

So, there you are.

I'm not really interested in it.

You have to tell me now. It'll be too late tomorrow.

Well, no, then.

It's a year-long commitment. That's a lot of days.

So, think it over.

Take your time. There's no hurry.

When you've made your mind up, come for a coffee.

Hey, new guy!

You got chocolates?

Yeah. Want one?

- Did your day go OK? - Yeah.

Wow, luxury chocolates!

- You pig! - It's for my family.

- Where are you from? - Le Havre.

Oh, yeah? Who cares?!

Cut it out.

Why did you move to Paris?

- For my Dad's job. - Do you like Paris?

Yeah, it's cool.

OK, let's go.

- Your place? - No, it's too far.

- Your place? - My Mom's there.

We can screw her!

Don't be rude.

Don't get me started on your Mom.

Where, then?

You can come to my place.

- Where do you live? - 2 streets away.

- OK? - Fine by me.

Beat it, altar boy!

We don't like you. You're not coming.

- It's not your place. - We don't like you, buttface!

He'll kill us with his camel breath!

Can I come?

Yeah, but there's too many of us.

OK, fair enough.

I'll get my stuff.

So, new guy, you should make friends, don't stay on your own.

- OK, see you. - Bye.

This is for the choir.

This way.

Is this your room?

Yeah, but it won't stay like this.

Look at the stickers!

You sure like pink, don't you?

Pay no attention to it.

The old tenants had a daughter.

Sure.

- Where'd you get 'em? - In the kitchen.

- Want some? - No.

Well, they're his anyway!

I got a joke.

You'll laugh at this.

So, this guy enters a nightclub.

He sits down and orders

a bottle of champagne.

And the barman says to him:

"You didn't pay for a bottle of champagne yesterday."

What does the guy say?

Champagne!

Hello?

Why're you laughing?

- He says: "Champagne!" - So?

What's the joke?

When he says "Champagne", it's funny.

Why did you laugh?

The poor thing!

Poor thing! Stop it!

He has us over, we make fun of him.

Got a Play? This is boring.

A console?

I think I can find it.

So, light B

turns orange.

What about light A?

Excuse me.

Hello. Sit down.

Meet Aglaée.

She'll be here this year.

Can someone help her catch up last week's lessons?

Go with Emilie.

Thanks. Bye.

Light B turns orange.

Light A

turns what?

It'll turn white, like your hair!

You OK?

Yeah.

- You're Aglaée? - Yes.

So, you're new.

You settling in, settling down?

Yes, thanks.

I'm Constantin.

- Hello. - I've been here 3 years.

So, basically,

if you need anything, just ask.

After 3 years, I know my way around.

Know what I mean?

OK, sure thing.

Are you making fun of her?

You can get out.

Are you insane?

Make fun of me, not her.

Out!

Shut up, weirdo!

Can't hear you!

It's OK.

So, I just wanted...

Bye.

And also... This is important.

If ever anyone does anything to you...

mentally or physically,

who forces you to do stuff...

you tell me. I'll deal with them.

What do you mean?

Well, sometimes people can be immoral.

They might say: "Ah, Aglaée" and spit at you.

Or pull your hair.

Why'd anyone spit at me? I don't understand.

Some people are immoral. They don't think

about their actions.

But why me?

Well, I don't know...

'Cause you're new here.
