Twelve Thousand (Douze mille)

Hey! Looking for the junkyard?

We're full. I suggest you park here and I'll go fetch the parts.

Park here and I'll get you the parts.

70?

- Cheap for a headlight. - And the labor's free.

Deal?

Great! Be right back.

Make an effort!

I'm the only one looking!

- Gimme a kiss. - Stop it!

Hurry up. I'll watch the little lady.

Hey, Sweetheart!

Find the part?

The headlight you asked for.

Right, miss? Not what you were looking for?

What are we celebrating?

You cut prices and steal customers.

So, yeah, it has to stop.

Mooching is all you're good for.

What do we do now?

Hit the road!

Hand my kid over.

Put her the fuck down!

Here, doggy!

Get your stuff and go. Gimme the headlight.

Leave while you can.

Damn. Bunch of freaks!

Get lost! Never show your face here again.

TWELVE THOUSAND

That looks delicious.

Just some pickled lemon.

It'll be about another hour.

No, no!

You OK? Napping?

Press harder.

Maroussia?

I adore you.

Be right back.

Tell Anouk you're playing dice.

C'mon, hurry up.

You two are really...

That's how it goes. That's just us.

Anouk, don't catch a cold please.

Wait, wait...

You like that?

Yes.

Don't take my panties off.

Don't move.

Wait, wait...

I'm staying inside.

Can you feel me?

I love it when you come and go.

Again.

- Wait! - Do me.

Again.

Again what?

Put it in your mouth.

- No, you put it in. - OK.

Come.

Come now.

Goodnight, Anouk.

Lights out.

Night, beautiful.

Fury! Here girl!

Shit!

I just changed everyone's sheets.

We'll never get rid of them.

They caught me at the junkyard.

It feels like it's all I ever do.

- Maroussia? - Yeah?

They caught me at the junkyard. It's over.

And Lisa was with you!

What did they do to you?

Nothing much.

What?

Their bark was worse than their bite.

What's that supposed to mean?

- What happened? - Nothing, in the end.

Cut it out. Tell me what happened.

Nothing, I said.

Frank.

I can't go back there, that's all.

I'll find something else.

They touched the kid.

Not in a million years. You think they touched the kid?

Could they have followed you?

You think they're going to come beat the crap out of us?

- No, threaten us. - No, Maroussia.

They're just employees who went back to work.

They caught me after all this time! Can you imagine?

It's totally normal.

What are you doing?

I want Lisa to tell me her version.

Shit!

Don't you dare wake her!

Shut up!

- Don't wake her up. - Get off me!

Get a grip!

What was that?

I told you, no barking in the house.

It's been over here for a long time.

You'll have to find work elsewhere.

And I'll find myself alone.

No more making love together.

Better drop it for now. It's too new.

No more making love together!

You're panicking.

Get over here.

Come on.

I have to take her out. She hasn't peed since you got home.

We're not very nice.

Motherfucker.

Would you put them to bed?

Sleepyhead.

All clear in his diaper?

Yes, all clear in his diaper. All clear.

C'mon, little guy.

Time for beddy-bye.

Give him his pacifier.

I'll give it to him later.

I miss you.

I don't want you to go. I want nothing to happen to you.

You miss me because I don't work anymore.

I'll go see a caseworker and kiss a little ass.

Don't you dare.

Worst case, I take in a fourth child and we live off me.

Well?

I won't be just an extra income.

I want to earn what I used to. A real salary.

How much?

15,000.

That's gross.

I think if we want to keep things right between us,

I have to earn at least as much as you.

Otherwise we won't do it as well.

And that would be lame.

Yeah, except I don't earn 15,000.

Doesn't matter.

The babies don't bring in 15,000. They just don't.

If you really want us to be equal, you can't earn a penny more or less.

12,000, then.

No.

Come on, 12,000. I'll come back and rock your world.

- I hate you. - Oh really?

You're horrible.

Whatever.

You don't hate me. Impossible.

Are you sulking?

Fuck.

Yeah, yeah...

Is something going on again?

- What do you think's going on? - Something.

Off we go!

Where?

Hi, my loves.

I found work.

It's backup. Yeah.

Industrial cleaning at an oil refinery.

Cool, go on.

A 2-month assignment. 700 km from here.

Minimum wage with a government bonus.

But I'll hustle a little extra on the side.

Only thing is, I leave in 3 days.

I said I'd do anything and bingo. I didn't expect it to happen so fast.

Look, if it's too soon, I'll postpone.

Cancelling just like that? I doubt the agency will call you back.

Go.

Lisa and I will open a garage with all the cash I've saved!

Nobody will be able to kick us out. We'll give customers the best prices.

So they come back.

Sure, that's how it works.

Get over here. Give me a hug.

So you're leaving?

Yes, I'm leaving for work.

How do we know you'll make the 12,000 in two months?

Who says you'll be back?

I'd be worried if I was her.

You're hideous when you decide to be.

See how she is? We won't last 3 days together.

You know how much I care about her.

- Sex isn't everything. - Speak for yourself.

Your dog goes with you, got it?

Dragging a dog to a factory? It isn't humane.

Because caring for my daughter, her over there, the foster kids,

and your incontinent dog is?

The kid would love to walk the dog. See? It's settled.

Leave her alone. It's not up to you.

Exactly.

For now, we need your thoughts on the... you-know-what.

No, I don't know.

No hot air, no doublespeak.

What can I say?

That you won't cheat.

Incredible!

Butt out, will you?

This is between he and I.

I met you. You're leasing me back my home. Not her.

Maroussia looks out for herself, and me myself.

That's all we can really say.

No.
