Okay?

It's an audition. You're not in yet.

We've been coming for three weeks.

And what's going on?

I'm leading you

towards something different.

What I see there isn't...

Stop!

Did I go to dance school

to study ballet?

Did I ever tell you that I had?

I danced in the street!

I didn't have someone

sitting at a piano to teach me.

This stuff we're doing isn't even organic!

There's nothing going on!

Can't you see?

Why's he making such a fuss?

Just do the moves!

"I'm from a tough estate..."

Yeah, right!

The problem with you

is that you're afraid.

-Afraid?

-Yes.

-Afraid to come here?

-Yes.

No, I'm not afraid.

I'm not scared of this.

Then stop talking and just do it!

Go on!

If I were the choreographer,

I'd twat him.

"If you don't like it, piss off!"

Longer.

Stretch out your arm.

Longer.

Like that, but more stretched out.

Now that he's let himself go,

it's more fluid.

He was as jerky as a lawnmower!

Sh*t...

He was taught a f***ing lesson there!

I'm gonna teach him a lesson too.

-The first to spit on him...

-You're mental!

What's wrong?

-You chicken?

-No.

-I can see it in your eyes.

-No way.

-Then spit with me.

-Go on, then.

-Not even close!

-Your turn.

Yeah, got him!

-Watch this.

-No, that's enough.

Djigui, what are you doing?

Who are you spitting at?

Is that you doing that? You f***er!

-Go, go!

-Wait there!

Come back.

I'm gonna kill you!

Come back here!

Djigui!

Sh*t!

Come here!

I'm gonna f*** you up!

Oh, sh*t!

Djigui, come down!

Stop it, Djigui!

Stay there!

Djigui, don't be stupid!

He was right. You're scared.

-No, Djigui!

-Ciao.

Djigui, it's not worth it!

Stay there!

Don't go any further!

Go on, faster!

Go back!

Stop it, this is stupid!

Are you shaking?

Help!

Call security!

Don't move!

I'm slipping!

Give me your hand.

Get your feet on that.

Now get your other foot on the bar.

Push up with your foot!

Don't look down, look at me.

Look into my eyes

and push up on the bar.

Okay.

You can't fall now.

What's the bastard doing here?

Leave her alone, she's my girl.

I have to pay you back for that dope?

Of course you do.

I thought we were like brothers.

Cash is my only brother.

-Cash is your only brother?

-That's right.

Your shopping.

You've hired all the local losers!

Thanks.

Twenty? I get more from shoplifting!

-Thanks, later.

-Twenty!

-What's your problem?

-Dounia!

Come back.

Can you ride a scooter?

Of course.

Outta the way!

Move, move! You're in my way!

It's not me getting in your way!

You can't accelerate

and brake at the same time.

This is what you're like...

So you're a mechanic now?

I'd forgotten that you were

Maimouna the Mechanic!

Sorry!
