Excuse me...
Come here, darling.
So how did it go?
Very well. We went towards the pier, and then...
- How did it go? - Very well.
We went towards the pier, and then to the old town.
You don't like the old town, do you?
So did you have fun with your friends?
Did you have fun with your friends?
And were you a good boy?
You were a good boy.
You were Mommy's good boy.
Ahem.
So...
how did it go?
Very well. It was perfect.
We went towards the pier...
But was he happy?
Excuse me?
Did he feel good? Fulfilled?
He's a loner. He's stressed.
He doesn't like the company of other animals.
No... it went perfectly.
He was with other dogs.
They ran.
And...
they communicated.
That's good. Very good.
Wonderful.
Thank you.
Thank you, madam.
PRICELESS
Honey?
Honey?
Honey?
Jacques, I can't believe it.
Get up, come on.
Come on.
Come one, get on the bed.
Do you feel well?
Very well.
And you?
You're completely drunk.
It took you three hours to get ready.
Look how much you've drunk.
Don't worry.
These are teeny tiny bottles.
You could have made an effort today.
Don't argue with me, honey.
I hate it when people tell me the truth.
Right.
Don't move.
I'll give you a second pillow.
Thank you.
In two minutes I'll be at your disposal.
Shit.
Jean!
I'm sorry.
You look awful.
Did you walk the dogs again? Yes.
And this morning I took care of deliveries.
Why do you accept this work?
They're so used to me saying yes
that I don't dare to refuse.
Besides, I have the time.
Do as you wish. It's not my problem.
But don't fall asleep at the bar.
Sure. Of course.
I'm sorry. It won't happen again.
I'm leaving now.
- Can you close up? - Yes, of course.
He'll leave if you turn down the lights.
Excuse me.
I'd like another one.
It's good you turned down the lights.
It's nicer this way.
Thank you, sir.
Can you turn on the TV?
There's a live broadcast on Eurosport.
Yes, sir.
Sit down.
I'm not allowed to leave the bar, sir.
Really?
Really. Except to serve drinks and...
in case of a fire.
Yes, sir.
Sit down.
Have a cigar.
Have a cigar.
The leaves grow in the middle of cocoa fields.
That's what gives them their particular aroma.
Can you smell it?
Yes, sir.
Because of the embargo against Cuba,
I fly them in by private jet.
One cigar costs about...
120 euros.
Good evening.
I'm sorry.
This is the first time I've fallen asleep like this.
Considering the mood here,
I don't see anything better to do.
This place is dead.
No. It was brimming with life earlier.
But now it's a bit late.
It's not normal, that there isn't anyone
at the bar at this hour.
Normally, they aren't allowed to leave before 3 a.m.
It's forbidden.
Unless there's nobody here.
But you're here.
Yes.
And I'm here, right?
Indeed.
Something like this wouldn't happen at the Carlton.
You know the Carlton.
Do you think their service has worsened as well?
Do you think he'll come back?
Who?
The barman.
I don't know.
Will you wait for him with me?
Yes. Of course, Miss.
That's nice of you.
Your cigar smells nice.
Normally I can't stand the smell, but in this case...
Yes...
it's because of the leaves.
They grow in the middle of cocoa fields.
Really?
They're flown in from Cuba by private jet because of the...
- Because of the embargo? - That's it.
Are you all right?
It's my birthday.
Happy Birthday, Miss.
It's off to a bad start.
I wanted so much to have fun tonight.
I'd give anything for a cocktail and some music.
What are you doing?
Cocktails are my specialty.
Isn't this too risky?
In the worst case scenario, I'll just say I work here.
So what would you like?
I don't know.
Something that makes you happy.
For your birthday, I suggest something with champagne.
And that gets you drunk fast.
Gets you drunk fast. Then...
a champagne cocktail.
Excellent. Wonderful.
I love to watch someone work.
I'm always impressed by people who can do something.
I can't do anything.
Actually, I can.
I can make conversation.
And you?
Right.
I'll have another one.
Which floor are you staying on?
Me?
Yes, you.
The fifth...
The fifth floor.
The Imperial Suite.
We only have the Royal Suite.
- Will you give me a tour? - Sure.
The dressing room.
Here we have the living...
The living room.
The bathroom.
Here we have the study, with wireless internet connection.
And a fax.
The bedroom.
This way, please.
You must be very rich.
Why do you say that?
Must I do everything for you?
What?
Happy birthday to you...
Martine! Martine!
Did they leave the Royal Suite?
They left this morning.
They stole a bathrobe.
ONE YEAR LATER...
Coffee, ladies and gentlemen.
Who's having the decaf?
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Are you all right?
Jean, but...
what are you doing?
Jean, are you all right?
Thank you very much, sir.
I'm not hungry.
What will you have?
That's a very good idea.
With pleasure.
- Irene? - Yes?
Happy Birthday.
Oh! Oh, Thank you, Jacques.
