- Brother, can I sleep in another room? - Later, perhaps, who knows...

Your attention please.

Because of the cleaning and disinfection of the rooms,

we would ask you to remove all your personal belongings.

Everything must be removed. Thank you.

Mr Fenu, has he got any post?

I don't know... yes, he has.

Right, it must be for the post.

Can I go for a quick drink at the canteen, I'll be back.

Can I leave you for a couple of seconds? - Yes, of course.

Mr Fenu, good evening. - Good evening...

Is it for the post?

Yes... For one night, Brother Didier, La Madrague in town...

Ah, no. I can't after what happened, what you did was too serious.

I'm sorry...

I can't. What you did was too serious.

Come on, stand up. Up.

No! The police told me to come here...

And you know where you'll be with the police?

We filed a complaint against you.

The conclusion is, we can't. After what happened, we can't.

I'm sorry.

Good evening, sir. Can I see your bag, please?

Nothing in there?

Life is a long quiet river. Who said that?

Was it Lao-Tseu, Confucius or Chatiliez?

It wasn't Confucius

Life is a long quiet river.

It was Lao-Tseu!

It wasn't Chatiliez or Confucius.

It was Lao-Tseu.

Life is a long quiet river, Madam.

Madam is walking her dog...

Hey, Samy?

What?

Raphaël Charles.

These are the regulations here, sir.

Of course. That's normal.

That's normal. No alcohol, no smoking in the building...

I've got no alcohol.

I'm telling you.

You're taking a big risk if you have a bottle on you...

I haven't got one.

Best to declare it now...

Best to tell, it's best.

It's best.

Here, keep it, if you want to read it at your leisure...

At my leisure, in my room.

See the coca-cola machine, just on your left, that's where you eat and breakfast is over there.

OK. OK.

At 5 o'clock your name will be called over the loud-speaker.

Raphaël Charles.

You'll have to come here.

Is everything alright here? - Everything's fine here.

There are no...

If you have a problem, come and tell us and we'll sort it out.

No troublemakers? - No, none.

Sure? - Sure.

We're counting on you. It's better than La Madrague.

I'll give it a try!

Your attention please. We inform you that the whole building is to be disinfected.

We would ask you to remove all your belongings from the beds. Thank you.

Fuck it, I wanted to do some good, and look...

But, you have to carry on, carry on...

I wanted to do some good, a dustbin full of bread,

people are dying of hunger in the world.

I take the bread to give it to the old chap...

...and I get the bin right in my face.

But at least you won't forget that bread.

You bet I'll remember.

But carry on, Hocine, helping others. That's good.

If I can help, I help.

Keep on trying.

If i can.

And stop the drinking too.

Ah, that's something else.

Why?

Ah, that's something else. Alcohol, look I'm an alcoholic.

There's treatment.

I'm an alcoholic and a smoker.

Come on, you're not Gainsbourg.

They tell me, >.

I've had the treatment, and it was no use.

But do you want to?

It was no use. The same day I came out of treatment I got pissed.

Great!

What's the point of treatment.

I come back on the train, I come out of the station, I come across a mate of mine,

"let's go and get a drink".

What use is the treatment?

If you don't have the will...

My analyst offered me treatment.

I said it wasn't worth it.

I'll come out and start drinking again.

Why?

Because I'm disgusted with life.

Why?

This is no life. I'm just surviving.

It's your life.

I should get my act together.

Should we give you a kick up the behind?

I don't think that would do it.

No, I'm disgusted with life, I swear to god.

Sometimes I want to kill myself.

I swear to god.

If you don't do it, it's because something holds you back.

But sometimes I want to do it.

When I see the tram, I want to throw myself under.

Go ahead, kill me.

That's it.
