40-Love (Terre Battue)

I think that's everything.

See you.

Bye.

Bye.

Keep up the good work.

Bye Jérôme.

Thanks for everything.

Bye Jérôme.

Thanks.

We'll miss you, boss.

Keep up the good work.

Thank you all.

Bye Jérôme.

Thanks for coming.

Work hard.

Don't be sad.

You're getting a new boss. It'll do you good.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Bye.

Good luck.

FORTY LOVE

It's a bit like what we do

to football coaches, we substitute them.

It's like telling Mourinho

he's training the kids, not the pros.

What do you think he'd do?

- He'd leave. - It's the same for me.

Can you set the table?

You have to look on the bright side.

Whilst looking for a new job,

I'll meet new people, have new challenges.

You can have lie-ins too!

Absolutely, great idea!

Will you take me to Paris?

You'll find it boring.

- I'll behave. - You'll get on my nerves.

No, I'll go to the Nike Store.

You should've said that first!

They've got all the players outfits. Please!

I'm not buying you that crap.

I only want to have a look at them. Honest.

Just a look, yeah right!

Pretty please!

Please!

Give over and lend me a hand. How do you make the photo smaller?

Should I use this photo?

Or do I look stupid?

- You always look stupid. - What?

That's what you look like.

- Like what? - Stupid.

You're the one who looks stupid!

Cheeky, stupid boy!

Good bye.

Mr Sauvage?

Mr Jallenque's waiting for you on the 2nd floor.

Have you always worked in mass retail?

What happened at Devianne?

I was regional manager of 20 stores.

What happened at the end?

The usual scenario.

I was sidelined because of a drop in figures.

We were making a profit, but they had new people coming in.

Did you get a redundancy package?

Yes, a good one. I can't complain.

That's good. But it's never really easy to live with.

Do you want to stay in the same field?

In mass retail?

Yes. I love it. I've only ever done that.

I've 20 years in-house experience at Devianne.

I didn't go to Uni and I don't speak English.

I'm learning but I'm crap.

It's not easy to compete with the upcoming youngsters

but I know these jobs inside out.

I see.

I'll ask my associate.

Have you got Antoine's number?

No, for a manager. I'll explain.

Tell him I sent you.

He may be looking for someone. He's approachable.

Thanks very much.

Can I help you?

No, I'm just looking.

I'll ask if I need anything.

That's the new collection.

- All these? - Yes, everything along that wall.

- On a day trip? - What are you doing here?

Hi!

Are you lost or what?

I'm just checking things out.

It's nice to see you!

It's been a while.

This is 100% synthetic leather.

- Smell it. - It smells like leather!

Touch it!

It's synthetic.

The sole's elastomer.

I don't know what that is.

It's non-slip.

This is imitation suede for a buckskin effect.

- It isn't? - No, it's fake.

You can have the same model,

with serrations, perforations or different pearls etc.

- So you can customize them. Exactly!

- A whole series? - Yes, everything's industrialized.

I mean even the finishings?

Yes. The guy showed me a video. Everything's calculated.

Impressive!

The end product is 20% cheaper than with classic production.

I can have an exclusive contract. He's looking to win over his clients.

Cheers!

Here's to your project!

He always does that.

He's so strong!

Nice!

I'm home!

Hi.

Look what I got you.

Hi, David.

That's not a tennis shirt!

What is it then? A swim suit?

It's an any-old sport shirt.

Not fancy enough to play tennis in?

Just look at it.

What's the 78 for on the back?

It's crap.

It's like the Unemployment Centre but in a fancy office.

He looked at my CV, that's all.

He said something about a friend of his.

Who?

Some guy. He gave me his number.

That's great!

I'm not sure.

I've made a decision. I've thought things over.

I'm going to start my own business.

What do you mean?

I have experience. I know everyone in the sector.

The suppliers respect me. I'm going to develop my own label.

You have to provoke your destiny.

I can't work for others anymore.

We're in the heart of the mass-retail Mecca here. I can't wait forever.

No.

I've had it with justifying my age, my English level, my qualifications.

I'll be my own boss.

The time is now.

What sort of business?

I have an idea but I need to do more research.

You'll see.

One of you counts the cars,

the other the number of people entering the shop.

How do we keep count?

Draw sticks on a piece of paper for each one.

Separate them properly, I need the info per hour.

What's it for?

Statistics.

- For what? - That's my business.

How much?

Fifty Euros.

Seventy.

Guys, I'm unemployed too.

And if someone asks questions?

- It's not illegal. - Apart from being paid cash.

Just say your drawing lines. They can't arrest you for that.

Hello.

I'd like to see the Manager.

- Is he expecting you? - No, I'm from Health & Safety.

He's not here but I'll see if his assistant is.

- Inspector. - Hello.

Please follow me.

- Is this 2011? - Yes, the second semester.

I'd like to see the latest sales ledger please.

Here you go.

If I need any further documents, I'll ask.

You OK?

- Have a good day? - Have you got my stuff?

Your bag's in the back.

From 12 to 1pm, twelve people.

From 1 to 2pm...

How many from 12 to 1pm?

Twelve!

From 2 to 3pm, eighteen people.

From 3 to 4pm, sixteen people.

From 4 to 5pm...

twenty three people.

What about cars?

From 1 to 2pm, twenty seven cars.

From 2 to 3pm, twenty one cars.

From 3 to 4pm, thirteen.

From 4 to 5pm, thirty four.

It's not bad here either.

I've never been before.

- What are you doing? - Just having a look.

I'm gonna be late!

We've got plenty of time. Look how pretty it is.

It's horrible!

It's lovely, look at the structure.

Dad, I'm gonna be late!

Dad!

Just a quick look.

- Dad, come back! - Just a sec.
