I'm working on it. Relax.

You'll have it in 10 days.

Okay?

- Is this any good?

- Fair.

254,68 euros.

Superman comes at a cost!

Everything does.

You have to hide

that junk food you bought.

I don't want to see it.

It makes me tense.

Okay, Vincent.

Can you drive, please?

Mind if she stays for dinner?

I can leave you alone.

I didn't mean that.

She's sort of a high-school teacher.

Works with young people.

If ever you want to talk.

I got nothing to say

to a teacher.

Dinner.

He's not coming?

He can't see us eat

when he's shredding.

It's the smell too.

So I try to eat cold stuff.

Salads, carpaccio.

When he agrees to eat with me.

Not always easy.

Why complain?

It's only 2 months a year.

It's more like 6.

You're free to see friends.

I saw your tattoo.

Life goes on.

I did it in 2000.

Happiness is a choice.

A sentence I like.

I have another on my leg.

Got any?

Don't like them?

Why not?

I don't want any traces.

They can be nice.

Like jewelry.

I'll go have a cigarette.

- He didn't eat?

- He wasn't hungry.

See how skinny he is?

How old is he?

I don't know... 23, 25...

I can't remember.

Have a cigarette with him.

I'll clean up.

So you're a teacher?

Did he say that?

Not at all.

Secretary in the high school

I went to.

It's like I've been there 100 years.

You've got some nerve.

It's a digest-spliff.

You smoke a lot?

I'm not addicted.

I can stop whenever I want.

You know all addicts say that.

There's a psychologist

at the school where I work.

If ever you want to meet her...

Sure.

Why not?

I'll say that as a kid,

my dad was absent.

Without a role-model,

my ego never developed.

It's why I smoke.

I'm unhappy with myself,

depressed even.

And emotionally,

a f***ing black hole.

I'm doing my cardio workout.

And I need to see a shrink?

I can't stay.

Pay back those guys and we'll see.

You can't imagine.

It's another world. Not normal.

Goodnight.

Mom!

Good morning.

Strike tomorrow at school.

Can you take off,

spend the day with me?

I'm talking.

Why don't you answer?

I'm talking to you.

What's the problem?

F***, it's starting again.

A**hole!

Can you lend me 500?

Did you all decide

to piss me off today?

500 euros.

You're out of your mind.

I can work reception

in exchange.

Helping out customers.

I'm not an employment agency.

Hold it, hold it.

Three.

Four... good job.

Concentrate.

Hold it, hold it...

What are you working?

My back.

Antoine, give me a hand.

Take the wheelchair.

If I get too bulky,

it'll be hard to pull myself up.

Relax, you still have some leeway.

Next year I'll put in a ramp.

That would help a lot.

What happened? An accident?

No, a neuromuscular disease.
