CRISIS

Marie, it's 7:10. Wake up!

Daddy!

I found it on the table

What?

It's from Mom, says she's leaving

What is this?

Gramma's coming at 8:30, I gotta pack

We're out of milk!

You see mommy?

No... She's not in the bathroom?

Tell gramma to buy new snow boots; mine are falling apart

Mom's gone

Where?

She took her stuff

Where the hell are you!?

You nuts? They leave today!

No milk left for -

I've met someone, won't be back

Where is she?

Dunno. With someone

Who?

I don't know, someone!

She left you for a new guy?

That's it, right

Really?

Mom left you?

Looks that way

I left sandwiches on the table!

Don't worry

Could you go and get them? They'll rot!

I've no key

Marie has it... Woops!

Here it is

That'd be nice

Dad, the snow boots!

Could you buy him snow boots?

Any idea why Marie left?

I don't know, but lately she's been...

What? I can't hear you!

Thérèse!

Letter on your desk

- You'll never guess... - I know!

- Yeah? How? - They told me

- She did? - Who?

- My wife - No, why?

- Then who? - Laurent

There are 8 of you!

8 of us?

They're such slime!

She's with Laurent?

- Who? - My wife!

Your wife?

What did he say?

Look, read the letter on your desk

Shit! What is this?

You've been let go! It's horrible!

What is this?!

I know, I'm sorry

And what am I if you're sorry?!

Let me explain

I'm fucked, that's what!

There are 8 of you

What do I care how many?!

We're streamlining -- wait!

18 months. I've been fighting...

It's Françoise

I can't now, I'm in a meeting

No, not the couch! I'm sorry but that couch is my mother's!

Right... save your insults because...

I'm in a meeting, I'm hanging up!

18 months. I've fought to build up a solid case on a crucial file!

We win, they make millions, and 3 days later I'm sacked!

What is this crap?!

You've become too expensive

And a trial like that only comes along once

So who needs geniuses?

I can't believe it!

If we'd lost, I'd still be here?

Try to put your feelings aside a moment

What the fuck do you mean put my feelings aside?

In my shoes, you'd do the same

Yeah, but I'm in my shoes

See the severance pay?

I don't want severance

Stick it!

You hung up on me!

That's enough now!

I'm in a meeting

I'm gonna get mad

Your lawyer and my mom's couch?!

I'm in a meeting, I can't...

Stick your severance you know where!

I'm not taking this lying down!

That's enough, OK?!

Take the couch, the CD's, the brass colander, fuck it!

And fuck you, hear me? Fuck you!

She hung up! Boy, divorce!

I got a good lawyer, the guy who pled our trial!

I'm not taking this!

Take your money and go!

You can't win this kind of case

If you think that I...

Françoise, I'm sorry...

Relax, we'll talk it over tonight

Françoise, don't get so upset!

I still love you, sweetums

Fuck you sideways!

Well, I gotta go

By the way, my wife left me

Really?

What a bastard, that Laurent!

It's hard

My own friend

Unbelievable

Take a letter, CV attached, dig out those want-ads. I need work

Victor, we have to talk

Then prepare a file on the case

Send it to the competition

We have to talk

What, Thérèse?

I can't, I start work today

You have a new job?

Yeah, another job

Not staying with me?

You've been laid off

So? We'll get work elsewhere

I've got apt. payments and my mother lives with me...

...and we want to buy this house in the Loiret...

...So 2 or 3 months with no pay, I just can't

2 or 3 months?!

A great legal advisor like you is bound to find work...

...but sometimes good people take a while to land on their feet

Where is your job?

Here. I'm staying

Here? In this office?

No, not this office!

Where?

Nearby... not far

Where?

Laurent's

With Laurent!?

His secretary took maternity leave, so...

You knew all along?

I see... just great

Paul? It's Victor

Something's happened, or 2 things really

I have to tell you about it. Can I come over?

So what'll they do?

Get married? That's so nice!

Don't tell me... that's great... Of course I'll come to the wedding!

Wait, hold on!

I'm a friend of Paul's; I have an appt.

Have a seat in the waiting room

No, I'm a friend

I just want to talk to him

- Tell him I'm here - Right away

So what date is the wedding?

Fantastic! Of course I'll be there!

I'll wear my red dress

I'll send them a letter

No, I'll fax them a note!

When the boss isn't around

Hello, Martine!

Something terrible happened, or 2 things, really...

Allopathic or homeopathic?

Where are you calling?

Local, in Paris

Yeah? In Spanish?

A girlfriend, in the suburbs

Oh yeah?

Hello? Hold on, sir... It's a man!

Tell me, what's the weather like in Malaga today? Really?

Fine. Bye

Pouring rain in Malaga!

How long was the call to your girlfriend with the deep voice?

I just dialed. My mother's sick

Yes, very sick

And my phone bill was over 850!

I'm sick to death of this, got it?!

Yes, I got it

From now on, itemized bills! Calls to Spain, out of your check!

They here for homeopathy...

...or allopathy?

All for homeopathy

Martine, listen: This morning...

Fine. I am fed fucking up!

Vulgar? Tough!

I won't stand for it

Ladies and gentlemen, I want you out in 30 secs...

...or I'll kick your asses out!

Vulgar? Tough!

My husband is allopathic, got it? Not homeopathy, allopathy!

We have 40,000 in debts!

Why? Homeopathy!

When he was allopathic, 60 - 70 patients a day, 10 mins. each...

...nice big prescriptions, and boom! Done!

30 a pop, add it up!

As a homeopathic...

...he sees only 10 a day, 1 hour each, a whole hour!
