Synopsis: At a football match, an unscrupulous photographer, Michel Verdier, takes pictures of a celebrity couple. Magazine editors go with the photos even though the dominant figure in them is a chubby football fan. "So let him sue." When the magazine appears, the fan, Franck Bordoni, is fired since he was supposed to be at work. Bordoni comes to the magazine where, by coincidence, he meets Verdier. Verdier says he knows how to make some money. They go to a restaurant where Johnny Hallyday is leaving. Verdier has Bordoni take pictures with a cheap camera. When the celebrity assaults the patsy and smashes his camera ... Verdier gets some very lucrative shots. They get a tip that Isabelle Adjani has left her house. They arrive; Verdier pays off Adjani's neighbour. Verdier searches her garbage. Adjani has left for L.A. Verdier follows her, entrusting his keys to Bordoni. At Verdier's apartment, Bordoni takes a call for someone to shoot vanity photos of a millionaire's party. Bordoni goes there. As

Tuesday they come.

He broke the window.

It'll be fixed by tonight.

I won't be stepped on.

Numero uno:
Letters-to-the-Editor.

The boss writes them.

Sure. He gets off on it.

Plan B:
Find R.R.

Michel owes me that much.

R.R. Is nobody.

It means "Rights Reserved."

It's on all of them.

They're too chicken to sign.

Rights reserved?

Awesome.

Michel's the biggest wuss around.

And he got you twice.

Sue them, you can't lose.

Take their money, they got plenty.

I'm not a beggar, I'm unemployed.

They cost me my job,

they owe me a job!

I'll never see Michel again.

Cell phone number?

Don't have one, I'm unemployed.

Call me later at work.

I'll ask around.

Anybody here?

Nobody. Two TV has-beens,

and the usual bimbos

who think they're Cindy Crawford.

- Not late.

- Half hour.

Right. Compared to usual,

you're on time.

Renaud Le Bihan,

Michel Verdier.

I know you.

That a problem?

- Who's this guy?

- He's a photographer.

Zaire, Sarajevo, Chechenya.

- Guidebook?

- Funny.

He was in Uruguay,

for the earthquake.

Great.

Anonymous deaths.

Plus if they're black...

Talent, and a heart of gold.

- Bye, Nicole.

- I'll call you.

Great guy.

Cocksucker.

Jealous?

No. You're a free woman.

I'm married. You always forget.

Not my problem.

Your place or mine?

Hubby out of town?

He likes it, you know.

He's great for his age.

Cataract's gone, he's 20-20.

What does he like?

Watching us do it.

Champagne, please.

The mirror.

That big mirror in the bedroom.

He watches us

without my knowledge?

This you talking?

He doesn't sell the pictures.

He takes pictures?

This guy's looking for you.

Have a seat.

Sorry, I can't place you.

- What do you do?

- I do unemployed.

Couldn't get the picture.

I got lit up.

But I think I earned my thousand.

May I?

I really need it, too.

I got canned for the first one.

Scuzz.

Help him out.

You love lost causes.

Give him a job.

But Magma's in the dumper.

Fashion shots, staged poolside pap.

People want real life.

People want scuzz.

I'll tell you in your language:

You're a f***ing ballbreaker.

Your whole gang of little scumbags.

You f*** people over,

and you don't care.

You like scuzz.

You'll pay me today?

Yeah.

Then I guess I can have...

some tiramisu.

And a Perrier.

You treat people like dummies.

They know it's hype.

They want truth.

I go after it, and I find it.

The best job there is.

Yeah, who? Ten minutes ago?

Be right there.

Sorry, got to go.

High journalism calls?

Coming? Got a job.

I'm going to help him.

Coming, Tonto?

Not sure. Last time wasn't so hot.

All right, stay.

Bye, ma'am.

- Regards to your husband.

- Yes, of course.
