Nice to see you, and Eva, right?

Hopefully, we will catch up later, right?

Hey, what happened with that other guy?

Did he forget to flush the toilet or what?

Nah, just forget about it.

- Flush the toilet. - Enjoy, enjoying the drinks?

Okay, do you need anything else?

Fuck... You pissed me off man.

You'll get me in trouble with your sister.

Is it my fault, again?

Where is he? What did you do to him?

I got rid of him.

- You got rid of him? - What?

- That's it? - Yeah...

No, I want you to find the son of a bitch and beat the shit out of him.

I don't want him to tell any story.

You hear me?

Oh fuck...

I forgot my appointment with this asshole.

- Gabriel! - My dear Alexandre!

Henri!

We've to talk when you come back.

Excuse me.

- How are you? All good? - And you?

- Glad to see you. - Me too.

- Sorry... Good Night. Alex. - Irene.

Nice to meet you.

So... Tell me.

I want to speak to you about my... the budget increase

that I told you about.

Alright.

Excuse me but...

She'll be following us around for long?

- I told you that we'd talk in private. - Yes I got it.

- Just a moment? - Sure.

Thanks.

- So... Soon the D Day? - Yeah.

- Are you ready? - Yes.

- When does filming start? - In 2 months.

Two months. Fuck... It'll come quickly.

- Are you ready, bastard? - Yes totally.

You'd better be.

I can't wait. Can't wait! It'll be fun.

I didn't get it, explain it to me. Why do you need this much?

Listen... I've changed the script... the end of the script.

- The end of the script? - Yeah...

Again?

And who is she?

I wanted to introduce her to you

she'll be the lead actress of the film.

Oh fuck! Gabriel!

Why are you doing this to me?

I was... ah! I was sure about it.

Why?

We never saw her face anywhere. Nobody knows her.

Why are you casting a nobody?

Listen, I need to refresh myself... To renew myself.

But, we cast three stars in the supporting roles.

Nothing is decided yet. She is still doing screen tests.

- Screen tests? - Yeah.

You want to fuck her?

I know you and know what it means... when you do this... with your lips.

And... don't try to stick it to me! I'm worse than you.

Gabriel... Actually the extra budget will pay for your fantasies?

- Oh no... - Oh no. Ah... Oh no.

Holy fuck... It's incredible. You are all the same.

You do this job to fuck women, that you can never get in real life.

You're all pathetic.

Anyway... I don't give a fuck.

I've read your budget estimate. What you're asking for, is unreasonable.

I found a great film location, the extra budget is also for the equipment...

Alright, alright... But it's not worth 100 thousand.

So, you'll work on your budget estimate.

- Alright? - Ok.

You'll then send it back, and if I like it I'll may be sort it out...

- Ok? - Alright, Alex.

When you listen to me, you work well, asshole...

I read you last script version, this... is good!

- You like it? - Yes, there is something.

But, I'm sorry...

For how long have we been speaking, about your movie's beginning?

How many times I told you?

Nothing is happening... It's flat!

We're bored to death.

You've to... It's the beginning of your film.

You've to grab the viewers' guts.

Something must happen

to make us want to fucking watch it!

Not sure if it'll fit my film's subject.

And what subject, Gabriel?

What subject?

You're doing a bullshit philosophical film.

It's only some intellectual masturbation.

You're not saving lives.

Alright? It's cinema, no big deal!

Fucking free yourself!

Irene! Excuse me... Come here please.

Sorry, we don't know each others.

But, I was explaining to this gentleman here

that being an artist is being free.

You hear me?

Free!

That's the right word! Ok?

And life is a game.

You've to take risks and make sacrifices.

And that goes for Cinema too.

"The Cinema is a magnificent and dangerous weapon

when in the hands of a free spirit"

Luis Bunuel.

Yes, exactly.

And Prevert added...

"It's not only my voice that sings, but other voices, lots of voices

from the present and the past"

- Magnificent! - You see what I mean?

Does it feel like you're at the theater?

- Now something is happening... - Better... it's Cinema. Awesome!

Watch out. I'll soon take your place.

You laugh... but you never know.

And you're lucky because next time, I'll charge for this show, you bastard!

- Come on, I'll buy you a drink! - It's worth it.

- So you can tell me more about you? - Ok.

Freedom, Gabriel!

- Freedom. - I'm in the here and now.

Stop with your Buddhist bullshit.

- Me again. - What's up?

Good evening Julie. - Me again. - What's up?

Guys, guys, guys. Good evening Julie.

Let me introduce you to a very good friend of mine,

a terrific director, Gabriel Dreyer.

Hello.

Good evening! Evening! - Hello.

Good evening! Evening!

Allow me to introduce my actress.

Great actress...

So what do you drink?

A glass of red wine, the usual.

Same, please.

- Ok, have a seat there at the table. - Thanks.

I'm coming.

All good?

You want something?

No thanks. I won't be long.

I'm leaving.

So...

Miss... Irene!
