How much did you score?

I was just there on holiday.

And I'm gonna go back to live.

Thailand's in recession!

Not in the sex business.

Sex tourism, she's right.

No one cares about us.

They let us live here like dogs.

It's been like that for 2 years.

Over there you can earn big.

Sex, booze, drugs... Easy money!

I'll open a bar with hookers

and party while making loads of money!

I'll open a little bar,

with a Thai guy, lots of masseuses...

Sweet!

You got it, girl!

-You okay?

-Yeah.

Hey, Alberto! Down, down!

Here, pass it to me! Nutmeg!

Bianca.

All right?

I got some Nutella for you.

Here.

-Thanks.

-No problem.

Salam.

Alaykumu salam.

How could he do that to me?

It's disgusting!

Stop blubbering.

No one's dead.

Amin. Who's Amin?

He's a man, that's all.

Disposable, like a Kleenex.

If only he were handsome.

But he's ugly.

I'm so stupid!

He told me he loved me.

Love?

Men don't think with this,

but with this!

Andrea goes to bed with Rita Hayworth

and wakes up with Coco the Clown!

The more beautiful you are,

the more you suffer.

Eat! Starving won't bring him back.

I'll get the shower ready for you.

-You okay?

-Yeah, and you?

Haven't seen you around.

I've been here, brother.

-Were you asleep?

-Times are hard.

What are you doing here?

Shouldn't you be in school?

I start at one o'clock today.

Where's my daughter?

Maimouna's in group A.

You come to the mosque

when it's empty?

Why don't you pray with us anymore?

You used to like it.

I'd better go, or I'll be late.

Take care of your mum.

Okay.

Paradise lies at the feet of your mother.

Sh*t!

What if we wake her up?

Ring the bell, who cares?

-Are you mental?

-She won't hear otherwise!

Yeah?

Is Rebecca in?

Rebecca, for you.

What?

Can we talk alone? Please.

Wait for me.

Spit it out.

We want to work for you.

You think I'm the Job Centre?

Piss off!

With me, your dope would be safe.

Come in.

From Samir?

You robbed him?

No, he left it lying around.

You robbed him to get a job with me?

Does he know it was you?

Nice.

You got clitoris... Good!

Come tomorrow.

I'll give you something to do.

Go, "Sh*t, my mum!"

Sh*t, my...

Make it tighter.

They're hitting themselves.

The star's here!

-What's the excuse this time?

-I got held up at work.

Djigui, your work is here!

It's the security dog.

You don't have time to change.

-It won't be easy like this.

-You want easy, go home.

-Maybe you're not up to it.

-I wouldn't like that!

-What did you say?

-I don't have time to talk.

Not up to it?

I'm gonna burn up your audition!

Burn it up?

He's bigheaded!

Wanker!

That's not what I want.

Do my moves.
