- You know exactly what I mean.

It's impossible!

If I don't get the money by noon,

I have to drop the case.

Ok, don't drop

the case.

I promise you,

I'll get the money. Ok? Thank you.

- You've been told...

- Yes, at noon. Ok, fine.

Hey, I'm a great

fan of yours!

- How are you?

- Fine and you?

- What's this? Lost in Schaerbeek?

- Going to the post office.

A quick snap for the store?

Thanks, sir!

Look, it's Van Damme!

Don't hello him.

Take the picture first.

Thanks guys.

Wait, my grandma

adores you too!

I'll be back in five minutes!

Name's Van Damme.

How's it going?

Hello.

Can I come in? I have a...

No, no, you can't,

we're closed.

- Closed?

- Yes.

But it's not six yet?

Please, it's very important.

I'm expecting a transfer.

Yes, but we can't...

No, seriously!

A computer problem.

Seriously? This can't be.

No, it's important, I have to...

Tomorrow, we'll let you in.

No, I need to go in today.

Listen, it's very important.

I need this money

for my family here, you understand?

Let me speak to the boss.

- Quickly, then.

- It'll take a sec. Thanks.

Hello, ma'am, how are you?

I'm here for a transfer.

The name's Jean-Claude

Van Varenberg.

Not my stage name Van Damme.

I'm sorry,

but we're out of cash today.

I told you, Mr Van Damme!

No, you told me

it was a computer problem.

Is it a cash or a computer problem?

You pick...

Listen, please give

me my money.

I have no money, my credit cards

don't work. Nothing works.

We're out of cash.

It's impossible.

This is a bank!

It's only 11, noon?

I'm broke, I have no money

and my cards don't work!

C'mon, sir.

Wait, what's your name?

Arthur.

Listen, I haven't

slept in two days,

jet lag, the Los

Angeles court,

the planes, a toy store,

my Mom on the phone, the cab,

the tip...

Wait, I have an idea.

I have a solution.

Then, collect some money.

I'm a good client here.

I'm pretty loaded.

Why don't you ask people here

for $700 or even $650?

And tomorrow take it

out of my bank account.

But, I can't!

- You don't give a sh*t, uh?

- No, I just can't!

I want my f***ing money!

I'm sick of this,

I want my money!

It's like this

since yesterday.

I have no cash on me.

Van Damme without cash! Gimme a loan.

Hey, I haven't slept,

I got on a plane...

I just got back from

a 'child custody' thing.

Look, I'm exhausted, guys.

Help me out here.

First the cab, then the toys...

Please, help me!

- OK, c'mon now.

- What? Where?

Camera?

Camera?

Is this candid camera?

Sorry, guys, sorry!

Listen, I've had a bad day,

I haven't slept in two days.

Cut this one,

it's a 'bad take'.

Put him with the others!

Are you nuts?

It's Jean-Claude Van Damme!
