Borderline (Une pure affaire)

As far as I remember, I have always been convinced that

I would distinguish myself from the others.

I know, it's stupid,

but it's probably because I was fascinated by Gandhi.

- Hello Dad. - Hello Romain.

Gandhi started as a lawyer, and if I'm a lawyer today,

I think it's probably because of him.

Being a lawyer seemed the best option to become someone.

I thought I had everything to succeed,

but something unexpected happened. Nothing that I hoped

happened. Nothing.

- Hello. - Hello.

Yes?

"A pure business"

Go away.

Get lost!

- Ah, you have a bitch? - No, a dog.

I forgot to tell you

Morisset invites us to lunch at Chateaubriand.

- Today? - Today, yes.

I can't. I have to present my conclusions

before 4 and... - You can't do that to me.

I can do it, if you...

I don't know, I don't want to... He's your client.

Do you mind, Pelame?

Well, I can settle this. I told you that but...

It's settled. I'm sure Morisset will like Teller.

Are you sure your dog is not a bitch?

No, it's a dog, a bastard.

Telemachus, don't stay here.

Unbelievable...

- Hello sweetie, how are you? - Hello, Dad.

David!

This capon is not cooked.

It's true, it's pink. How long

did you cook it?

As usual, 45 minutes.

A capon has to be cooked an hour minimum.

It's not cooked.

45 minutes, an hour...

We have to cook it 10 minutes more. Don't eat this.

Dad, put your wing back in the plate.

I'll eat it like that.

Can I go to New Year's

Eve party at Boris'? Charlotte's parents are OK

to let me sleep over. You can call them.

I won't call them. I'll come pick you up at midnight.

- You don't go out? - No, we don't.

I'm not going to get home at midnight on New year's Eve.

I can get home myself.

You already can go out with

this Boris, so you won't get home alone.

- You say that because he's fat? - What?

Not at all, not at all... But he could make an effort.

Dad?

Well, it's true that midnight is a little early.

You could let her go

until 0:30. - Or even 1:00.

- Really, Dad? - You Mum would have done that.

Well, OK for 0:30.

But not later.

I knew you would like it.

It's wonderful.

- That one's for Grand-Pa. - Thank you.

Who got me that one? Oh, it's my daughter!

- You don't even know what it is. - I'm sure you spoiled me.

You can tell us if you don't like it.

You can change it.

- It's a skateboard. - Thanks Dad.

- The vendor told me that... - That one's for you Dad.

What is it?

Well, open it.

- I mean, who got me that? - Mum.

Christine, we said:

"No gift between us".

I'm sorry but I have nothing for you. We said: "No gift",

Why did you do it anyway?

It's OK.

It's OK, but now

I'm ridiculous. What?

People usually do it anyway. I wouldn't have done that to

your Mum. - Forget about it.

Who wants some log? It's melting.

Nobody? OK.

I'm sorry, we said: "No gift", so I didn't buy any gift.

I'll be walking my dog.

Come here Norbert.

Norbert, you're stupid.

Out of my way!

What a jerk!

Don't move! Stop!

- Fucker. - Stop!

Shut up, Norbert. It's OK now.

Come here.

"Need 25 tube tickets for tomorrow night, thanks."

What is that mess?

Oh, shit...

Sir.

You forgot your bag

on your hood.

Oh yeah, thank you.

Shit...

David?

Yes, I'm coming up!

- David! - I'm there, I'm coming up.

- What were you doing? - I heard a suspicious noise.

Did you smoke?

No. I'm not a kid, I don't smoke in the basement.

Are you coming up?

Go ahead, I'm coming.

Hello.

And then, we'll see...

Excuse me for being late.

Telemachus,

shut up. Come on,

don't stay here.

There you go. Good. Where was I?

Morisset wants to lunch

with Villeneuve again.

Yes and Morisset highly recommended you to Villeneuve.

Nice.

Since the last lunch,

he can't stop talking about you.

So, we'll go together. - OK.

Anybody can

answer this phone?

Telemachus!

Shut up, shut up!

Good job, Pelame...

They're going to be in trouble now.

The logistics won't follow

without you. - I give them three weeks.

Christine...

Your envelope.

They don't have the right to fire you.

What is your problem?

Can't you wait two seconds before honking?

You want to piss me off?

You think this fucking car doesn't already piss me off?

My husband has to fix it for two years!

Don't piss me off too!

Fuck!

Because you work for assholes, you don't need to become one!

I'm fed up!

One last thing: Pelame, take care of this, please.

It's a contract about

a field close to a retail area.

They want to build a parking. It's technical, it's for you.

That's it, it's over.

Break the ranks!

Thank you all.

- Can I talk to you? - In your office or mine?

Let's go in mine.

Do you know how to type accents?

No. Can we talk a little?

Yes, of course. I feel bad, Pelame.

Morisset wants to deal with Teller from now on.

He was my biggest client, and...

You're doing a great job,

but Teller and Morisset are like wolves. Nothing can stop them.

It might be you... We'll talk about it.

- So, what can I... - Telemachus, come here sweetie.

It's not honest.

"William, urgent favour to ask you for New Year's Eve."

Hello? - Hello, William?

William, it's Vladimir. What are you doing?

I was worried. Are you OK?

Actually, William is not there anymore.

What is that bullshit?

David, dinner is ready.

I've got to talk to him. Hello?

Well... it's impossible.

Impossible? What is impossible?

I need 50 tube tickets, it's urgent.

Do you have tickets?

- Are you calling for cocaine? - Can you bring me some?

I can't talk right now.

No.

Yes. Goodbye. Goodbye. Yes.

It's not very good, Mum.

- I'll only eat the cheese. - No, eat the croutons too.

- Eat. - No, I don't like it.

Do we have a scale?

Why? You want to diet?

No. Where is it?

Er... In the cupboard, up the sink on the right.

- Hello. - No, I'm not interested.

Actually...

- I don't need what you're selling. - I'm the new...

Idiot...

"Not interested"? Let's see.

Idiot.

Hello?

- Hello, I'm the guy behind your door.

- What do you mean? - Actually, I'm "the new William".

Can you open and...

- Oh, so you're... the new guy. - Yes.

- Pleased to meet you, Vladimir. - Hello.

Sorry, so many jerks these days.

- Yeah. - I don't say that for you.
