Monsieur Gangster Page #5

If the meeting gets lively,

I have a calming influence.

Do you prefer

foie gras now or later?

Tomorrow.

I've got a board meeting.

You're not dining with us?

And I told Jean

to bring champagne...

I'm deeply touched

by your invitation.

It's phony.

It's not. We buy it in Strasbourg.

Costs a fortune.

No, I mean his board meeting.

If you ask me, your uncle

from the pampas is out on the town.

You think so?

We walked the streets

I won't be a call girl

for his ghost.

Street-walking... call girls...

You purposely use words

that hurt people.

He's being literary.

That kind of literature

shouldn't be allowed.

Louis wasn't progressive.

He was right-wing.

If you asked for a raise,

he pulled out his gun.

But he gave us security.

You mean... he gave us crumbs!

Do you know what he cost us

in 15 years?

Do you know?

Tell them, Paul. I can't.

And 30 million a year

from our take.

Know what that makes?

Half a billion francs!

And you kicked in just as much.

Didn't you?

I didn't say a word.

I'm not paying!

I invite you to do likewise!

You're inviting us...

It's nice of you,

but some invitations...

What's bothering you?

The climate.

It's like Stalingrad.

Once was enough.

I prefer to stay out of range.

You're trying to pin it on me?

Then say so:

"You knocked off Henri

and the two other guys.

"Plus the Mexican.

"And the Archduke of Austria..."

It's me, Pascal!

I'm coming.

Who's with you?

I'm with the lawyer.

You're three, not two.

I announce the help...

not the boss.

Maybe, but I got my orders.

It's funny the way sailors need

to try and communicate...

If you stick with me,

what can he do? Sue us?

Don't.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

I didn't invite you.

You didn't have to...

I own the joint.

What's this? A seminar?

I called them in

to talk about the Mexican...

about his funeral.

If you mean

the Mexican's funeral,

that's my business.

If you mean Henri's,

you might take care of it.

You can't pin

the massacre on me, too.

We'll settle that later.

We've other things to do now.

Let's talk business.

Let's start at the beginning.

Ladies first.

- Madame Mado, I presume.

- In person.

Madam, Mr Folace informs me

of a weakness in...

your balance of payments.

It's temporary, I trust.

ls there an explanation?

There are two:

a recession and a labor shortage.

The customer has

other things on his mind.

For example,

the casual client has vanished.

The one who dropped in

to be neighborly.

Now, after dinner,

he watches TV.

We can't compete

with the soap operas.

The Sunday lover

has vanished too. Why?

- I ask you.

- TV again?

He has a car, Mr Fernand ,

he has a car!
