Struggle for Life (La Loi de la jungle)

During the 52 tera-octects of logos, we offer you some free music.

On my command...

Attention!

Europe, France and Guiana

are proud to unveil this statue of Mariane

for the forest village

where 12 families have volunteered to move.

I'd like to wish our pioneers good luck

and say that Guiana is not the Far West

and never will be.

Love live the republic! Long live France!

The outrageous VINCENT MACAIGNE

STRUGGLE FOR LIFE

NOT from the Comédie Française

KEEP OFF THE GRASS

MINISTRY OF STANDARDS

Principal Private Secretary

Send in the cleaning lady.

The interns left.

So we call it a day.

Excuse me. I'm Marc Chataigne.

It's for my internship.

You've come too late to choose your post.

I just assigned them. All over.

It was the subway.

Don't shout before pain.

If I say...

coconut tree.

What comes to mind?

Coconuts.

Tropics?

You win. Your post is Guiana.

Why not Chernobyl? I thought it said France.

Exactly!

Guiana is France.

Guiana is France.

France, sir, is an empire

on which the sun never sets.

From Ile de la Reunion to Cayenne

to Polynesia,

our flag flies day and night.

Alas,

flags give way to logos,

laws of the state to rule of the multinationals.

Guiana is nice!

But... it's the jungle.

It's a jungle here too.

We'll revive tourism in Guiana.

Everyone beat us to South America. Playtime is over.

You will oversee a project respecting European standards.

Guiana is France. And France is Europe.

So Guiana must comply with European standards.

And you will have the responsibility

to lay the first stone of...

Guia-Snow.

Guia Snow!

France will show South America

that we can export our one resource coveted by all.

Cold weather!

We'll build the first indoor ski-station in the Amazon

with fake snow!

Financed by Europe and elite partners!

The World Bank of Sports,

Happy Senior Pension Fund and Qatar!

- Qatar? - Yes, Qatar!

And national debt?

What national debt?

Louis XIV taught us to go into debt.

We're not destined to be profitable.

Anglo-Saxons tried but failed.

Look at the debts of cities in the United States.

If you add up each person's debt, it breaks all records.

France understood it ages ago.

Mankind is not profitable, Mr. Chataigne!

This bridge connects Guiana to Brazil.

Ten years to build.

Only a state can.

No one believed in it.

Now it's a success. In everyone's interest.

Personally, I never criticize until I see the reality.

Ten years!

France lacks huge projects.

I'm the cleaning lady's intern. She's doing training.

Fine, come in.

For your internship: write a report, bring it, I stamp it,

I okay it, you enter the work force.

- It's been 10 years. - This time it's true.

Pick a model.

- That one. - Impossible. This.

Here's your bag. And finally...

The "Code of Standards". It's my bible.

Bring it back intact.

Have a great vacation!

But it's an internship.

Mental plus physical.

Physical thinks mental

and mental gets physical thinking.

Traction, action, repulsion.

Obey the cervical-lumbar axis or you'll slip a disc at 80

and wonder why.

Watch out for your lumbago.

Sometimes you scare me.

Excuse me. I rent this place.

I'm calling the police.

Mr. Friquelin, tax bailiff.

You have yourself to blame.

259,857 euros in debt and you act innocent.

I'm from Auvergne.

I never spent more than 1,000.

Get to work.

- Hurry! - Family pictures!

Yours?

- My favorite puzzle. - Finished, it's worth a fortune!

This one too?

This is too big for the stairs!

Ivory only.

It's my Granny's. You're crazy.

Crazy? You want to see crazy?

Marc Chataigne? Born in 1942 in Vichy?

No, can't you tell I'm much younger?

Wrong Chataigne.

Let's go.

And my stuff?

For goods repossessed, make a claim. For the rest, we'll see.

For the Tax Office, take paperwork proving you're not dead.

- Not dead? - Alive.

Prove you're alive!

I leave tomorrow for Guiana.

So? Guiana is France! Do the paperwork there!

State of emergency...

Have a nice holiday!

Excuse me. Go on, ma'am.

Thank you, sir.

Very kind of you.

Sir? Get in line.

- No but... - In line!

Hello, hello?

Alpha tango.

This is your Captain. The use of...

cigarette, e-cigarette, patch,

chocolate cigarette, nicotine gum or any cigarette substitute

is forbidden aboard. Okay?

Hello. Mr. Rosio?

It's his intern.

He wants to talk to you.

I'm in Qatar. I'm with her.

It's great. The station is amazing.

It doesn't seem fake!

Stop!

A driver will meet you.

Go to Guianian Tropical Consulting.

Your contact is Galgaric.

This is a real public works project!

Galgaric...

The driver will meet you. Goodbye.

Damien Corbillon.

I'm on a mission to Guiana.

You too.

Who's crazy enough to vacation there?

Marc Chataigne.

Ministry of Standards.

Working on a ski-station project.

- Guia-Snow, right? - Exactly.

I work for an audit firm.

For the Cayenne-Manaus train.

- Great. - Where is Guia-Snow? Show me.

There.

Here? Right on my route.

Here? Right on my route.

The hard part is to prospect this land.

Here.

It's where the Amerindians live.

It's protected.

So what? Who the fuck cares?

How can they stop bulldozers?

I'll eat them alive.

Keep it, pal.

Fish or chicken, sir?

Chicken.

None left.

Fish then.

And you, sir?

Whatever is best.

Can't I get the same?

Hey! Air bimbo!

Same thing!

- Good times! - Cheers.

Pesetas!

250 euros. Cash or credit?

Who cares? The company pays.

No, but...

That sucks!

Hello, hello, Alpha, Bravo,

Delta, Charlie, Bravo Charlie...

The Indians...

I'll eat them alive.

Sir? Your papers...

- What's in the bag? - Nothing.

Just a computer and the Code of Standards.
