The gendarmes are gonna show up.

Get lost!

Yeah, get outta here.

What are you laughing at?

And the kid?

The kid...

we take him with us.

Know anyone that would want to have

a dead kid on their conscience?

Yes.

Boss!

- The blood...

- Yes, Jean-Claude?

It's because of your crap.

No, I have nothing to do with this.

The SWAT team decided alone...

I swear, I wouldn't have...

- I have a list of demands.

- Yes.

You have to do something

about the kid first.

The kid,

you have to release him.

Negative.

- You have enough hostages!

- Cut the crap!

- You want the list or not?

- Yes, I'm listening.

You have enough hostages!

I want a million euros

in small bills.

Unmarked,

with different serial numbers.

I want a bus for the airport,

a jet with a full tank. Destination

to be confirmed once I'm on board.

Then, I'll release

the hostages.

You're asking a

lot, Jean-Claude.

Honestly, you realize that...

- It won't work.

- What?

I'm Jean-Claude Van Damme.

It makes no sense, it's all bullshit.

It should be less realistic.

Like what?

Wait, I have an idea.

I'll also need

Yeah.

...to be delivered by noon.

To the firm Bernstein,

Katz and Phillis...

He hung up.

What's that? A code?

No, it makes more sense.

Who are those guys?

- My attorneys in LA.

- Don't mess with me.

Dumbass.

He's in court for the custody...

Shut up!

You leave them all alone!

- Change the tone.

- Shut up.

- Watch it, OK?

- Go back!

- I'm not your baby brother!

- Go!

Look, Carradine,

I'll go when I'm ready.

Go back, your idol's coming.

Ass-kisser, get lost!

I'm staying.

Now, I'm going.

OK, then go!

He's right. A movie star

asking for a million...

it's ridiculous.

But a star asking for money

to pay for his law fees

sounds desperate.

Not bad, not bad at all.

Go back with the others.

I said, beat it!

Look at those idiots!

So:
1 + 1 = 1.

It's still you.

- It's love.

- 2 in 1.

But for us:

Then we're 'selfish',

we take money without sharing it.

But if 1+1 = 1...

Or maybe 1+1 = 11.

That's beautiful!

I just got back

from Belgium today,

I was at my mother's and...

What was the name he said,

in English?

- Bernstein.

- What?

Leon Bernstein.

We don't think horizontal,

we think vertical.

We stand straight in life.

We don't think in hours

and in seconds, it's 'neutral'.

The snake, Adam and Eve,

I don't buy it anymore.

A snake is nice.

An apple 's good, it contains pectin.

It's good for cholesterol.

Can an apple hurt a woman?

Some people failed,

because they're not 'aware'.

They don 't acknowledge

that they exist.

Poor things, they don 't know.

So, I'm 'aware', I'm awake.

What's "aware"?

You wake up
