All language subtitles for Les Portes De La Gloire FRENCH DVDRip XviD-OMG

Money, money, money.

People won't give you their money,
unless you win their ? - Trust.

So when you're selling, your job
is to make sure you've got their...

- Trust.
- That's your one goal.

Eliminate...
- Distrust.

And win their...
- Trust.

Sit down.

Ladies and gentlemen,
we are at war.

Hey you. You over there. Come up here.

I said step up here.
Step up to the stage. Come on!

Don't make yourself small.
You're not very tall to begin with.

What time is it, monsieur Le Tallec ?

What time is it ?

Il est 10 heures 57.
What happened ?

We just kinda fell out of bed ?

Hustling the whole day ?
No time for breakfast ?

Just a piece of croissant on the way ?

Didn't brush our teeth, did we ?
Or wash our face ? Take a shower ?

Just kinda slapped on
yesterday's clothes, didn't we ?

You give such a sad image
of France, huh?

Ask yourself this, J�r�me, "what image
of myself am I conveying right now?"

What about these people ? Don't they count ?
Don't they deserve better?

They made the effort, Jerome.

And I have the feeling
they're a bit disappointed.

Do we want to listen to J�r�me ?
- No.

Do we wanna know this man ?

Did monsieur Le Tallec did
everything he could to win our trust ?

Because in doing what he did, he aroused our...
- Distrust!

Go find a place, Jerome.

And remember :

Every failure holds the key
to a future success.

Hello dear Madam, how are you ?

No, I explained you already.

You had a week to study the contract.
You didn't, that's not my fault.

Well, I don't write the law...

No, no.

If you want to lose all your money
in lawyer's fees, it's up to you.

If I may say so, don't forget that
you can't even buy a book.

Good evening madam...
What a cunt.

Jacques, Michel, this is J�r�me,
your new partner.

Jerome will be with us from now on.

I'm counting on your professionalism and
your generosity to show him the way.

And I'm sure Jerome will share his
knowledge with us.

Michel, can I talk to you
for a minute ?

I was warned a short time ago...

... So for now, you will share a bedroom.
- No, come on, I always get the newbies!

You cool down, OK?

Do you know who's the newbie ?
- No.

- Beaumont's stepson.
- Who ?

Not so loud.
The boss future stepson.

Why is he here ?
- No idea.

Anyway, it's temporary.
We'll see later.

Can I count on you ?

- Le Tallec is from Brittany, right ?
- Yes, my father is from Brittany.

My mother is from Alsace.

Did you touch my boots ?

It's OK, you can look.
Go on, touch them !

- Have you seen this quality?
- Is this leather ?

Ah no... Flipped skin.
60% calfskin, 20% foal.

- And the rest ?
- It's the heel.

- What were you doing before ?
- I did ISEC.

Higher Institute of Business Studies.
I didn't finish, but it's been helpful.

That's great.

- Do you know Jean-Claude Dr�ville ?
- No.

Well, he did ISEC.

So, you never sold anything yet?
You will get used to it, don't worry.

"My way to success"... Did you read it ?

This guy's an asshole.

Is that her ? Your girlfriend ?

You sew a pair of balls on it,
it's the boss, right?

I mean, she looks a lot like her father...

- It's an old photo. May I take the top shelf ?
- Sure. Just push my stuff.

Moineau.

I'm such a jerk.

- J�r�me, this is Sergent.
- Hi, Patrick Sergent, nice to meet you.

- You're the new one ?
- Yes. J�r�me Le Tallec.

I'm beat.

In the area,
everyone's name is Derval, you noticed?

Lucien, Henriette, pharmacy Derval,
Caf� Derval.

And I think I found the elder
of the tribe: Albert Derval.

I went there 3 times.
The old fart was stinking so much!

He told me I looked like
Laurent Fignon.

Do you think I look like
Laurent Fignon ?

Yes, a little... No?

Who's the horse ?

Cute girl.

He's the stepson.
Well, he will be the stepson.

- And what is he, Michel ?
- He graduated in a commercial school.

- And he's from Brittany?
- His mum is from Alsace.

- Le Tallec, it's Britton...
- She's from Alsace. His father is Britton.

They're nice. A bit heavy but nice.

Yeah, well, we'll see.

Hurry up Jerome,
it's not the good moment!

I have to go now.
See you tonight.

See you later.

- Is Demanet british ?
- Demanet? No.

I suppose you know
who Ralph Spiegel is ?

- Who?
- Ralph Spiegel. You don't know ?

Demanet didn't explain ?

- You know what we're selling at least ?
- Books about family, right ?

That was 6 months ago...
You have to be up to date.

What P�gase is selling now, that's it.

- You could wear a tie.
- I don't have one.

That's what we need.
Look carefully.

Can't you see ?

The first quality of a good
salesman is observation.

Look at both houses.
This is a championship.

- How is that ?
- They do everything the same.

But a bit better, a bit higher,
a bit more expensive... You got it ?

Jealous ones.

Envious ones.

Each time miss A will have a new pinetree,
Mister B will have a bunch of Seqoias.

They have the same car,
but gas / diesel.

This one has a fountain ?
That one gets a windmill.

This one has an ulcer?
That one will get a nice cancer.

Hello, Mr Derval. Patrick Sergent
from Pegase in Paris.

Sorry to disturb, we had an apt. with
Mr Bodart, but he's not here.

He's not home ?
It's weird, his car is here...

We rang, no answer.
Do you know when he'll be back ?

No idea.
What was it about ?

That's too bad.
Today is the 25th, right?

We were supposed to meet today?
He will be disappointed.

But it ain't our fault.

Well thank you, Mr Derval.
Good evening.

What's it about ?
Maybe I can help ?

- And you say he's buying one each year ?
- Oh yes, Jerome, it's been how long ?

5 years at least.

Oh yes, 5 years at least.

You have seen his bookshelf ?
A beauty. Right, Jerome?

Wonderful. With the wooden sculptures.

Yes, the sculptures...
The verticals, the horizontals...

What was the name of the man who
made it for him, again ?

- Fignon ?
- Jerome, of course not...

- What was hos name... Derval ?
- Derval.

I am Derval.

True.

Are you related to Albert Derval ?
- I don't think so.

It's a big family.
You are quite known in this area.

Well. These books
will be missing from his collection.

Excuse me... Did he already paid a...

An advance payment ?

Are you kidding ? We are P�gase,
not some local business.

Well, thank you for the coffee,
it was delicious.

Could I buy this collection myself ?

Why do you always say
"Pegase Paris" ?

We are not from Paris.

An extra layer of shine. That's all.

This is not the right question to ask,
dear madam

Instead, ask yourself if it would be better
to jump from the train before the accident.

OK but what can I do about it ?

What we don't understand,
what we don't know scares us.

Ignorance leads to hatred.

For example, look at the aztecs.

You know the aztec civilization.

Neither do I.

These indians created
a very advanced civilization.

For their time, of course.

They invented Cramik.

Cramik. It's a small sweet bread
with grapes inside. It's delicious.

- It's not Cramik... It's Ceramique.
- Even though.

Look at Cancer.
Such a terrible sickness.

With this graphic, you can clearly see
the distribution of Cancer in France.

Take skin cancer. Obviously,
Brittany is first.

Lung cancer, there again,
Brittany is at the top...

Sorry, J�r�me.
My colleague is from Brittany.

- I'm so sorry.
- Look for yourself.

It's true, it looks very interesting.

And you say it's 599 francs
for the collection?

599 francs the volume. Tax included.

Isn't it a lot?

Expensive? No.
What is 599 francs after all ?

48 small fees of 12 francs 50 cents.

1 euro 90.
Half a pack of cigarettes.

Come here.

What were you doing ?
- He was explaining something.

I borrowed this from you.
This guy has great ideas.

Did you meet him ?

How is he ?
Very charismatic, right?

Do you like British cinema ?

Tomorrow evening, there is "The bridge
over the River Kwai" on TV.

It would be nice to watch it together ?
- Sure.

This was in your book. Who is she ?
- My fiancee.

She has a large head.

Tell the other ones to hurry.

I was not a wonderkid, but...

I was good in school.
I would have loved to study more, like you.

But I didn't have the family I deserved..

Even if I had been Mozart, in my house,
I would never have touched a violin.

Before I was a chief,
I was a salesman, just like you.

I was good, you know.

I had my ways.
Beaumont was impressed.

He told me : "you, Demanet,
you will go far."

Yes... "You will go far".

Anyway, what does it mean, "to go far" ?

Did he foresee something ?
Did he think about something in particular ?

He never talked to you about it ?

Your stepfather, monsieur Beaumont.

He never talked about me,
about plans he had for me ?

We respect men.
It's important to respect an officer.

When a chief stop being respected,
what happens ?

Despair and chaos.

In a way, it's normal, right?

Why would he talk about it with you ?
You're not...

Are you satisfied with the work ?
- Not at all !

I can prove what I say.

I hate the British ! You lost
but you ain't ashamed.

You are stubborn,
but you have no pride.

Are we going, J�r�me ?

- Sure, go.
- See you tomorrow, then.

Let's teach these savages a lesson about
the efficiency of occidental methods.

Let's show them what a
British soldier can do.

I went this afternoon: she wanted to "think".
But women should not think for too long.

So I told her I'd come back later today.

Let me tell you the truth Jerome.

I make 80% of my deals with
unemployed people. You know why?

Because I make them feel better.

It makes them feel better that a guy,
dressed as well as me, come to them.

It's true, you dress up very well.

- Wait, you mean it ?
- Yes, it fits you well.

Of course it fits me, a 180 euros suit !

You, what do you think of yourself ?
Look at yourself.

- I don't know.
- You have no style.

Where did you buy your boots ?

Mr Puisard. Michel Moineau,
Pegase diffusion, Paris.

- Is Ms. Puisard here ?
- What do you want with her ?

- Hello Madam, you told me to come at 9pm...
- We are not interested.

- Wait 5 minutes, I'll explain.
- No thank you, we're not interested.

Mr Puisard, give me 5 minutes,
you'll change your mind !

No need. Take your friend along
and fuck off, or I'll start kicking you.

What a jerk, right ?

About my boots... I don't feel like
sharing my deals with every jerk.

- You OK ?
- Yeah.

You put your shoes on today?

Why you didn't wear a tie ?

- I was about to.
- Good idea.

Bonjour, monsieur Le Brun.

Bonjour, monsieur Le Brun.
It's the company Pegase.

Do you have a minute for me ?
- Piss off.

Bonjour monsieur.

J�r�me Le Tallec.
I work for the company Pegase.

Actually, I work for a company...

where Ralph Spiegel wrote books
about family.

and about life, generally.

and I wanted to know
if you were interested. Or not.

- Monsieur Delon ?
- Yes.

- Alain Delon ?
- Well, yes.

What is it about ?

Jerk.

I shall not be judged
on how many times I fail...

but on how many times
I succeed.

Not on how many times I fail,
but on how many times I succeed.

And how many times you forget
to flush, you dirty pig?

I really don't see the problem.
Are you interested in the collection ?

At the moment, it's not very easy.

Let me stop you here.
I totally understand.

Myself, at this moment,
I don't know where I will sleep tonight.

My house has been devastated
by a river of mud. And I had valuable objects.

May I use the telephone ?

Wonderful painting.

Lots of emotion.

Sandrine ? Sergent here.

May I speak with Mr Beaumont ?

Monsieur le directeur ?
I am with mr. Baltus.

He was talking about
some problems he has at the moment...

I thought maybe we could...

Yes, of course.

Because of the bad weather,
the Director allows a 15% discount.

The area has been badly damaged.

Great !

I will tell him right away.
Goodbye, Mr. Director.

You don't want to talk to him ?

He agreed on 20%

I'm out for a minute,
I smoked a little, it stinks in here.

- You smoked what ?
- A little pipe.

How did it go ?

I saw lots of clients,
I made some contacts.

Great. And ?

And I think it's gonna work.

Wanna get in for a minute?
We could have a drink?

I'm really tired.

5 minutes.
I just opened a bottle of pure malt.

OK, 5 minutes.

I told the others
I'd go and eat with them.

Are you fucking with me ?

"I made some contacts".
Think you're funny?

Careful. Here, the rules are simple.
I'm here to make a team work.

I choose the areas,
you get the customers.

But if you're not with me,
you're against me.

And if you play this game,
you will lose.

- But... I made some contacts...
- You didn't do shit, Jerome!

Don't bullshit me, OK?

I don't like lazy guys.
What's your problem?

- I can't do it.
- No, no, no.

You know what's your problem?
Your problem is in your eyes.

You know what I see in your eyes?
I see pity. And the client doesn't care!

It's a war out there.
It's them or you.

It's eat or be eaten. "Eat
or to be eat", that's the question.

You're not here to pity them
or to tell them they are in deep shit.

You're here to sell them shit
and congratulate them for choosing it. OK?

So stop with your pitiful look,

store your shame in your pocket,
and fight.

Otherwise, you leave, OK?

Here. All you need is
to write your name on them.

They are filled already.

- What is it ?
- Orders. To help you.

Why are you doing this ?

Would you prefer me
to tell your stepdad you suck ?

I'd rather think it's a matter of time.

They don't teach this in your school,
how to gain self confidence?

Go to bed.

Please understand, Mr Beaumont,
the work is great, but...

I don't think I'm made for this.

Of course, I am grateful
for your help.

What ? What is this ?

Ah no, no. You're gonna cry now ?

You know what, Beaumont ?

Your shitty, shitty job,
I don't give a damn about it!

You're fired, man, fired !
Out !

You see this stick?
I will put it in your ugly face !

In your face ! In your ugly face !

Excuse me, sir...

I'm looking for the others,
have you seen them?

Wait, let me think.

The others...

I came from here...

They have to be at the pond.

- Are you sure ?
- If I say so !

See, Beaumont, I just can't.

Are you OK ?

Wanna eat a slice ?
Apple-rhubarbe.

- Did you talk with dad ?
- I told you I will, right?

What did your son do?
What was he doing near the pond?

- He thought he was doing good...
- He thought he could do nothing !

Listen, Roger,
I have no problem with you.

You've been working for me
since 20 years.

But I don't want to see your idiot son!
- But it ain't his fault...

Rules were simple.
Youth is always a pain.

They have an opportunity to shine,
and they fuck it!

- Ah, Julien.
- It's J�r�me.

- All good with H�l�ne ?
- All good.

We don't see each other a lot.
I sometimes think I'm a bad father.

Don't say that.

H�l�ne needs a lot of love.
She's fragile.

This pie is horrible. What's inside?
I feel like I'm eating hairs.

H�l�ne needs a lot of love,
right Jerome ?

Everything OK on the subject ?

I mean... Are you doing it, sometimes ?

You have to fuck, Jerome.
You have to fuck, always.

I love to fuck.
With my wife, it's not working anymore.

So she's sad,
but I love to fuck, I love that.

- We have known each other for a while?
- One year.

- Can I ask you something?
- Of course.

- Is it Ok if I say "tu"?
- No problem.

It's as you (tu) wish, Paul.

Wait, I prefer you to continue saying "vous"...
It's a matter of respect, you see?

So, was it OK? Did you like it ?

- Well, hunting is not my thing.
- No, I mean the internship.

- I heard you did good.
I started like you, you know...

I didn't have warm bread
in my mouth right away.

Let me tell you this :
young people today, a bunch of lazy jerks.

We have to chew their food
so that it doesnt hurt when they shit it.

- Well, actually...
- You know what they called me when I started ?

Andr�.

- How did they call me when I started ?
- I have no idea.

They called me the Star.

- And why did they call me the Star ?
- Because you were bright ?

Absolutely. I was bright !

I'm happy to see that
you are a great salesman already.

Pegase needs new people like you !

You have to bullshit the customer.
Bluff, Jerome, bluff !

I'm J�r�me Le Tallec
I work for Pegase diffusion.

I'd like to know whether
you have a minute for me.

I'm actually selling... Huuh...

He... Wrote a book.
I actually work for Ralph Spiegel...

Bonjour Monsieur. Jacques Abdilkalikof,
Pegase diffusion, Paris.

Would you have a few minutes
from your precious time for us ?

What I will show you will, for sure,
overwhelm your life.

I'm asking you : aren't we all
a bit responsible? I'll let you think.

- Excuse me, where is the restroom?
- On the right.

What's this ?

What is this ?

- I think it's a melon.
- Ah yes.

- It's dangerous to eat melon ?
- Yes.

Well it depends, if it's...

If it's a genetically
modified melon, yes.

And what about her ?

What a tragic story.

She's a genetic engineer, actually.

She was tortured and raped by gypsies.

People travelling everywhere.

- Not possible !
- Well yes it is.

And the police didn't do anything ?

It was too late unfortunately, sir.

They took her on the road with them,
made her do things...

Day and night.
They were a lot...

In order to end her suffering,
she swallowed a glass of diesel.

Diesel. Can you believe ?

- She had no family ?
- Can you call this a family ?...

The father was never here,
the mother was jealous and bitter...

...and always sad not to have had a son.

Not the best family you'd hope for.
- But... Why ?

Because the world is sick, madam.

Look, statistics don't lie.

Ralph Spiegel says it himself :
we are heading toward chaos.

Humanity runs to disaster.

Each of us has to make an effort.
We're all responsible.

Hello, madam, J�r�me Le Tallec
from the company Pegase.

I had an apointment with Ms. Raki,
I ringed the bell, but there's nobody...

Don't think this way, dear madam.

Ask yourself : isn't it time
to get off the train before it derails?

Great painting. Lots of emotion.

20% off.

Do you wish to check together
the several ways of financing?

Then, you pay in 3 times...
Sign here please.

The other books will be delivered
in about a week.

I have a funny one.
Patrick! I have a funny one.

It's an old jew, on his deathbed.
He's about to die.

His whole family gathered around him.
Beaumont told it to me.

He calls out his children.

Salomon, my son, are you here?

Yes, papa, we're close to you!

And you, Rachel ?
(Rachel is the sister).

Rachel, my lovely daughter,
are you close to papa?

Yes, papa, we are here!

And you, Moshe? Are you there?

Yes, yes papa... We're here.

Everybody is here.

But then, who is taking care of the shop ?

See, they have shops, very often...

So funny.
I like this kind of humor.

But you need to know how to tell it.

The engine is getting warm.
Check the oil. Understood?

A bunch of morons, these two.

But a great idea, the tigers, right ?

Although, I would put a chinese one,
more logical.

A coffee.

Hey, there's a dog.
Nice doggie! Come here!

I love dogs.

With our job, it's hard.

We can learn a lot from dogs.

They never betray you.
Not like men.

But this one stinks. Come on, go.

Jerome, I guess you're wondering
why I wanted to talk to you.

Yes. Is there a problem ?
- No, not at all.

You seem to have got it.
You're doing well.

It's going well.

When are you getting married ?
- In a month.

Wanna be a salesman forever?
- I don't know.

No you don't. And neither do I.
You know why?

Becaude you and me, Jerome,
we're better than this.

Jerome, ever wondered what was
the sum of all your existence?

Ever wondered whether your life had
any influence over the things around you?

What do you mean ?

What I mean...

is that the shortest way to reputation...

is paved with successes.
I want you to check this.

This is 3 years of my life,
and the future of Pegase.

Our target : south of France.
Our weapon : new American methods.

I wish you to show these
to your stepfather.

Why aren't you showing these yourself ?

Because successes, you are not always
able to get them.

I'm nothing. Just a small chief
of sector.

But you, Jerome.

I'm asking you as a favor.

Take your time.

What a beauty, right ?

It's tin, punched from behind,
from Clamort.

It's a collector's item.

Did you recognize the one in the middle ?
- Isn't it De Gaulle?

No, it's Mozart. The composer.

I think Jerome understood
what it was about.

Did you mention our little project
to you-know-who?

Yes. I gave him the folder.

Congratulations, Jerome.
- Thanks, R�gis.

Bravo, you were very good.

...in our job, we are like anthropologists
of the 20th century.

It's all observation. I can guess the
psychological profile of a customer in a snap.

You, for example.
Please stop me if I'm wrong.

You are a strong woman.
- Yes, it's true.

See ? You're very beautiful,
but you don't overuse it.

Because inside of you,
there is still the child

who needs to be protected,
taken care of.

But none of this influences
your professional life.

Well yes, it's exactly me.
- You know, it was not too hard.

'The shape of a pure soul
is visible to the pure eye'.

Plato.

Aren't you going to introduce me,
Plato ?

Girls, this is Demanet,
a coworker.

Call me R�gis,
let's keep it simple.

I'm his boss, but I play it cool.

It's sad to establish barriers...

Mind if I make myself a pipe ?

Wanna drink something ?

Been calling you for 5 minutes.
- Sorry, I haven't seen you.

Why you think I have my arm up?
I'm checking if it rains? Two whiskies.

Jerome ; it's a youg guy, not shaved,
with long hair, getting into Jerusalem.

Wearing sandals.
On the back of an old donkey.

You know who I'm talking about, right?

- Was it you ?
- No, moron ! Jesus !

Jezus of Nazareth ! The first salesman
in the world !

I wish I had a guy like him in my team.

Although I would have told him
to cut his hair.

- Why ?
- Because of the looks.

See, what I'm really interested in,
it's the present.

If I let you do what you want,
I lose a team. What do I put instead ?

There's a risk, OK, but...

I studied the file,
and it makes sense to me.

Of course, we have to see
what it will bring on the long term.

Do you believe in these
"new American methods" ?

Because what you learned over there...

I'm not sure it would work here.
This is France.

Also... This guy worries me a little.

- Who ?
- Demanet.

- Do you think he can do it ?
- Well... Maybe he deserves our trust.

A day like today, I can't say no to you.

You have a month.

Good luck.

Inmate Sergent,
please come here.

Leave the clothes,
and you'll be fine.

Give up, you're surrounded.

By Pegase Diffusion Paris.

Kom eens hier.

Hold this. Take care.

Take care of the jacket.
It belongs to R�gis.

Get in the car and
pull the handbrake when I say so.

When I say so. You're there?

Yes, I'm there.
- OK, pull the handbrake.

Yes, it's OK. I pulled.

Attention, You pulled? Great!

The handbrake has an issue.

What a mess. We have to find a garage.
- Yes, we have to find a garage...

Can you stop for 5 minutes?
It's a working tool, not a toy! OK?

OK, I stop. 5 minutes.

Let's go.

How old are you ?

No, Sardou is a great man.

Johnny is a playboy. I love him.
But Sardou is more wise.

More modern.
He has a real look on things.

Are you kidding ?

Listen to "Afrique Adieu", it's a very deep
reflexion on the African third world.

It's a prediction!

Do you know where they go,
the blue rivers of Tanganyika ?

Well, he was wondering 15 years ago.

- Where are we ?
- We just passed Arles.

We're so slow...

For me, Sardou is above all.
Like Brassens. Giants.

You can't compare
Brassens and Sardou...

I don't compare.
I say they're equals.

- You know I met him ?
- Brassens ?

No, Michel. I pissed by his side.

In a restaurant above the highway
near Valenciennes. In Assevillers.

You know what was the most surprising ?
His size. He's that small.

In the seventies, his hair was high.

But what a charisma.
Everybody was watching him.

- Watching him piss ?
- Of course not. Walking.

- Did you talk with him ?
- No, I was frozen !

No, I just listened to him piss, but...

it was great already.

Look.

- Careful, it's fragile.
- What is it ?

- It's a hair.
- You're disgusting.

It was on the toilet,
I didn't think, I took it.

How do you know it's his?
Have you seen it fall off his dick?

You don't recognize it?
Imagine his head above, it's all Michel.

What will you do with it? A paint brush?

Idiot. Go back to sleep.

Who knows, if someday
I have money problems...

I can even have it tested for DNA.

Can we open a window ?

There's a smell that
makes me wanna puke.

It's the jacket. It smells like shit.

Did you paint your shorts yourself ?

My shorts are from Van Gogh.
I bought them at Orsay. What about yours?

Mine? You couldn't afford them.

They're from the science museum.

A mix of elasthan and polyester.

Exactly.
It lets the sun rays go through.

A special fabric
that lets you get a suntan.

A technological revolution, loser.

- We should sell this actually.
- And why would you want to get a tan there?

Huh... Because it's nicer ?

Gentlemen, welcome in the south.

I had a dream, said the prophet.

Go sit down.

Gentlemen,

Pegase has made the south of France
a new Eldorado for his salesmen...

And I agreed to lead
this difficult mission.

But without your help,
this challenge is impossible to win.

One month is short.

Still, I know we can do it.

Thanks to your professionalism...

your enthusiasm and your skills.

By the way, have anyone seen
my yellow jacket?

- Weird.
- Wanna drink something ?

Miss, we're not thirsty, and please
stop interrupting our strategic briefing.

Let me explain my attack plan.

I will give you each evening
my instructions...

where you will have your itinerary
traced on the map.

There's a survey at the back ;
please answer it honestly.

What is it for ?

That's my business, OK?

And what about this part ?
- Listen, we'll talk about these later.

The ethics and the motto of our mission
are very simple :

Being close to the people.

The attack has 4 stages :

Stage 1 : exploration.

Two : subscription.

Three : daily report on the mission.
Stage four :

Total partnership
with your leadership.

What is it, the leadership ?

The leadership, it's me.

OK? Everybody understood?

A little exercize to get in the mood.
No, Patrick,

Around here, poeple are different.
It's nothing we know.

A small exercize won't hurt.

I prepared some exercizes,
American style.

Then you can improvize.

Patrick, you'll be the salesman,
I will be the customer.

Everybody watch,
afterward, it will be your turn.

- What shall I do ?
- Well, introduce yourself.

- Hello sir. Patrick Sergent, and...
- No, no, no...

We make it realistically.
There is a door, you ring.

I drew rooms on the floor.
Don't go through the walls.

- Can't believe it.
- Let's go, it's not chinese.

Hello sir, Patrick Sergent
from Pegase Diffusion in Paris.

What do you mean, Pegase?
Is that a horse?

We'd like to show you...
What did I do again?

Have you seen me opening the door ?

Has anyone seen me opening it ?

So you wait for me to say "get in",
that's all.

- You're all crazy.
- No, you are not modern enough.

This exercize is famous in the US,
and it's about being good the first time.

So please, make an effort
and make a good impression.

Hey, old man, you don't
talk to me this way, OK?

I've been a salesman for 30 years,
what will you teach me with your exercize?

You think you give a good impression
with your trump flying under everyone's nose?

My what?

Your trump. I feel like I'm
selling books to an elephant.

There are kids here, for fuck's sake.

I will wear a short and come back.

It's the Zombies headquarters, here.

Do you know where is Florida 3000?
We're a bit lost.

You ain't lost. It's here.
It's been planned for 2 years.

Shall we go this way ?

Ralph Spiegel doesn't propose ready
solutions, no...

He just suggests us to look at the world
with a different eye...

- Ignorance leads to hatred...
- I think they're sleeping.

Yes... I totally understand,
Mr Beaumont.

No need to worry,
it's just a matter of time.

No, we have just been...
Yes... Of course...

Good bye, sir...
Please say hello to your...

And what is this?
You have horses in your show?

So ?

- One week.
- One week? I'll be gone in one week!

I have to order the part, wait for it,
put one of my guys on it...

Come on, it's just a cable to change,
it takes 5 minutes...

If you know better,
do it yourself.

Enjoy the area, take come holidays...
- I don't care about the area! I'm working!

I'm working too, sir!

Asshole.

Remain polite, sir.

I have been polite with you.

This is true.

Have a nice day sir.

Motherfucker!

Asshole!
Fuck you!

Pegase Diffusion.
In your area for a limited time.

Pegase Diffusion.
A problem? We'll solve it.

We've been here 1 week only,
and they want results!

New sectors need time
and hard work.

But, it's not easy, Regis...
- It's never easy.

But you have to lose a few battles
in order to win the war.

Pegase Diffusion.
In your area for a limited time.

Pegase Diffusion.
A problem? We'll solve it.

It's a nice area here.

I was wondering...

Can't we be two to prospect?

To choose new sectors?
We'd be more efficient together, no?

Hold on. Jerome.
Let's not mix everything.

It's good you thought about it,
but you'll be more productive here.

Understood ?

Trust me.
I know where I'm going.

For example, to change our hotel
was a great idea.

Why ?

They were thieves!

You know my british jacket,
the yellow one?

Stolen. With all my medicines inside.
- This sucks really.

Of course. I'm allergic to the sun.
If anything goes wrong, I will become huge.

So this is what you have on your face
since the morning?

I have nothing on my face?
- Ah... I guess it's the light then.

Probably.

Let me tell you that if I find
the asshole who stole my jacket...

Check the glove box.

Holy fuck, what is this?

A P38 from Indochina.
A rebel killer.

Why do you carry this ?
- I'm not a coward.

Well, I hate this kind of shit.
- Go to work.

Hey! What the fuck?

Are you nuts ?

Are you fucking crazy ?

It's a joke.
It's a safety gun.

I don't give a fuck!
You don't shoot people!

Sick fuck!

I'll pick you up at 3.

Pussy.

Thanks. Going near Aix-en-Provence ?

Bloody asshole.

You wait for me ? I'll be short.
- No hurry.

Still not fixed ?
- Well, you know Demanet...

Half of the area's garagists hate him.
Gonna take a while.

Hi, mum.

I brought you flowers.

I put them here ?

Watching TV ?

And you're OK with your mother
being in that place?

She's fine there.

Do you know how much it costs
each month ?

You are paying ?

She has everything she needs.

She always wanted to live
on the south coast.

Honey, skewers are in the fridge?
- Yes, they are ready.

I have 3 kids myself,
I can tell you, they love it.

You have stains under your arms!

What a joy.

That's because I'm too hot.
So I have stains.

I loved her for 20 years.

A wonderful woman.

Women like that, they don't fall
from the sky...

Fancy a drink ?
- Hello sir, are you with him ?

This gentleman was saying that... He...

I was saying that today,
to praise a culture ain't easy.

You stink! Daddy, the guy stinks!

- Pig!
- So, what I can propose...

Fat ass !

... I can make the fifth one free.
- Fat dirty ass !

Because there is Pagnol, and Pagnol.

Pagnol knew how to write.

And why? Because he knew
how to observe men.

And how much would these cost to me ?

Well you're lucky, because...
You stop now!

I can make an offer.

Me, sir.
I wrote. Poems.

I wrote poems,
listening to birds singing.

Asshole !
- I can't stand you!

I didn't hit him... He moved.
- Whatever Michel. He was my client.

You call this a client?

The kind of jerk making "poetry"
as soon as he hears an insect!

Come on, it's not related.

If Michel Moineau doesn't want to work,
He lets others do it.

We are the reputation of Pegase.
- What a reputation!

What? Is this your famous
"American method"? Congrats!

When you go to the hair salon
while you should work, you shut up.

What is this about ?
- Where is your reputation now?

If you were more serious about your job,
I would listen to you.

But for now,
stop criticizing my strategy, OK?

Now, shut up.
- Are you serious ?

Listen, small town general Patton,
who wanted to come here ?

Nobody asked my advice.
Someone asked yours, Jacques?

Who are you to talk like that ?

If Pegase starts consulting any
small vendor, where are we going?

Is it the stepson talking?

I may be a small vendor, but I didn't
need my family to be one, OK?

Enough, enough!
Stop that !

You shut up now!
Get in the van and shut up!

I'm very disappointed, Michel !
This is a shameful behaviour !

"Family"... Yes, let's talk about it.
You take very good care of yours.

What did you say ?
- I wouldn't let MY mum die in a shithole!

Stop this now !

Are you going to stop ?

How old are you?
Are you little kids?

Can't you act responsibly?

One day comes...

You realize you're closer to the end
than the beginning.

Then, you wonder...

What was your life worth?

What was your influence on things?

Did you have any influence?

When you compare your life
to the carreer of some men...

I don't know if those questions
are good to ask,

But sometimes, I ask them
to myself.

Gentlemen... I thought about the events...
- What's this in your ear ?

And I wish tonight we raise
our glasses to a new start.

Are we leaving ?
- Sorry ?

Are we leaving ?
- No. It was an image.

How? How could we get this low?

What was that ?
- Nothing.

Today's behaviour was absolutely
unacceptable.

But I will take full responsibility.

...And what do you get?
Despair and chaos.

Michel, J�r�me, get up.

Shake your hands.

So... Let's forget it, OK ?

Let's go back to work.

A little strategy briefing.
Jerome, distribute.

When he's on TV, he looks normal.

But actually he's really short.
Until here.

And what do you do, as a job ?

I work in architecture.

Hey! This is Michel, a coworker.

You're an architect as well ?

No, I'm the director of a museum.

But where is this moron ?

Shit.

They left me like an old shit !

Na alles wat ik voor ze heb gedaan.

Wat heb ik ze misdaan ?
Ik doe gewoon m'n werk.

E�n keertje de fout in.
E�n keer.

Daar heb je hem.

Stap in, man.

Stap nou in.
- Hebben jullie je lolletje gehad ?

Laat die domme lul maar
een eindje lopen, h� ? Wie is dat ?

Dat is Evelyne, een vriendinnetje.

Dat doet maar. Jullie hebben
totaal schijt aan me, h� ?

Wie heeft dat bedacht,
om me achter te laten ? Jij, Michel ?

Of jij Patrick, met je humor ?
Of allemaal ?

Jullie gunden me zeker ook nog
een flink pak slaag, h� ?

Je ziet ze vliegen.
Je hebt vervolgingswaanzin.

En m'n gele jasje ? Dachten jullie
dat ik het niet door had ?

Na alles wat ik voor jullie
heb opgeofferd.

Eindelijk konden we iets bereiken.

Maar jullie willen liever
zielige minkukels blijven.

Nou, ga je gang.
Want Demanet houdt het voor gezien.

Afgelopen, uit.

Ik heb het totaal gehad met jullie.

Dit kunnen we niet maken.

Ik voel me niet lekker.
- Stop, anders kotst ie ons onder.

Adieu Zuid-Frankrijk.

Demanet heeft het niet meer.
Wat is die strontvervelend.

Wat is er ?

Ik zie hem. Daar.

Shit, ik heb pijn.
Ik heb iets gebroken.

Ik kom er aan.

Blijf liggen.
- Ik voel m'n benen niet meer.

Haal de lamp. Opschieten.

Ik zal nooit meer kunnen lopen.

Voorzichtig met z'n hoofd.
- Rustig maar.

Ik zie alles wazig.

Stil maar, jongen.
Alles komt in orde.

Sergent.
- Ik ben bij je.

En Michel ? Ik zie niks meer.
- Ik ben er ook.

Is Balzac er ook ?

Is iedereen er ?
- Ja, we zijn er.

Maar wie let er dan op de zaak ?

Nee zeg, wat een ongein.

Shit. De bus rijdt weg.

Lopen, Michel. Lopen.
- Evelyne.

De schroevendraaier.

Je hebt mannen die echt iets
presteren en je hebt valse helden.

De laatsten lijken altijd gelukkiger
en zijn bijna altijd rijker.

Bedriegers zijn altijd steengoede
leugenaars.

Maar zonder bedrog
heeft waarheid geen betekenis.

Dat komt niet door de slechtheid
van de mens...

maar doordat de waarheid altijd
te simpel en te armzalig is...

en de mens nu eenmaal behoefte
heeft aan illusies en vergissingen.

Dat zit al in de natuur...

die ons met illusies en leugens
het leven veraangenaamt.

Of op z'n minst draaglijk maakt.

Tartoro. Kom eens hier.

Gaat het wel ?

Ik zie dat je vandaag
je nette schoenen aan hebt.

Maar waar is je das ?
