Have a crepe

- No, I don't want anything

- I helped him, you didn't!

Martina, go do your notebook

Yeah, and do Marco's too!

Remember, they

get out of school at two today

- What time do you start?

- At seven, like always

- Haven't they changed the shifts?

- Sure they have

It's just that they gave me

the night shift again

-You always get cheated

- I was the last guy hired

I have to hurry now,

I hate doing things in a rush!

He's in there

He's going, today

I'll take care of it

Today

Don't worry, I promise

What's wrong?

- Have you seen Chen Suilan?

- Why?

- Have you seen her?

- Sure, don't you see her too?

- That's not her

- What's the difference?

- What happened to Chen Siulan?

- She works two jobs,

her sister replaces her

and she has no working papers.

The bosses know this trick of using

the same name for relatives who come

- It doesn't work anymore!

- What are you, an SS officer?

- They asked me to investigate

- You tell them it's not your job

You do the accounting.

What does that mean?

-You count people?

- How can I say no to them?

With your mouth!

Hi!

Hi Mama,

look what we got

- What's all this?

- Wait or I'll crash

- What have you done?

- I'll explain later

- How about explaining now?

- Are you happy now?

- No, I'm playing!

- Let Marco play too

No, he doesn't know how to play

- I didn't buy it, okay?

-You took money from that man?

- No, he gave it to me

- You know what that's called?

- Exploiting the vulnerable

- Don't yell, he'll hear you!

He'll hear me?

Why the f*** didn't you

bring him to the police today?

I did and I made a report

I just couldn't leave him there

- How much did you take?

- They'll call and let us know

I didn't take his money, are

you crazy? He came with me

to get the kids from school and

he wanted to buy them a gift

He told Martina to pick one,

you know how grand she is

Yes, but you've really lost the plot!

I can't sleep with him here

Take him to the pub and leave

him at the station on the way

Sure! This way I'm always

the one who's the sh*t!

They're not for us,

I sell them

- Are you a pastry maker?

- To earn some extra money

I make them twice a week

for my friend who owns a pub

But I'd have liked that

I would have liked

to open a pastry shop

Why didn't you?

I didn't have the money

You could work in a pastry shop

if you like it that much

Sure, at 29 years old with

with a husband who gets himself

fired all the time

I know it's hard to quit,

but at least when you bake

you shouldn't smoke.

You used

tap water

and you didn't even taste it

to make sure

there wasn't too much chlorine

Pardon me. I'll use

mineral water next time
