But if you take good care of it,

He's the same age as my son.

Yes.

Why didn't you ever say so?

We never talked.

Work in the emergency room.

- Want some tea?

- No, thanks.

- It's iced tea.

- I'll be going.

- Alice.

- Yes?

If they behave...

you'll get a new visit

by the end of the Week.

Thank you.

Have to go now.

Where were you?

- What are you doing? Dinner's ready.

- I'm not hungry.

- OK?

- Where were you?

Where'd you go

after your tango class?

Nowhere. Just came home.

Need lunch money.

Are you following me?

Are you Watching me?

Why do you say that?

One jealous guy in the family

is enough, OK.

Good night. I'm going to bed.

- How's it going, pal?

- Hey, guys.

J.C.?

Coming.

Hi, boss.

What was that about?

What was What about?

When?

The other day, in the atrium.

With the Spaniard and the Albanian...

- He's Flemish.

- Right. What was it about?

Don't know.

You'd tell me if something was up?

Of course I'd tell you.

We're a team,

We're in this together.

Yeah, that's right.

- J.C.?

- Yeah?

The team is What counts.

Yeah, know it's What counts.

Come on, guys,

the animals are Waiting.

Well, girls... Happy?

Cut it out.

What the hell?

Stretch the other foot.

Now forward.

Like this.

There you go.

Cross in front of the other

and forward.

Feet together and back.

Cross and slide.

Change... and kick.

Make a big circle

and keep your balance.

Things swinging, you queers?

- You're really going to start dancing?

- Him. Not me.

Why not?

The exercise would do you good.

- Come on, Dom...

- Hey, Dom!

- What's "snail" in Flemish?

- Karakol.

Cargo/, just like in Catalan.

Crazy, huh?

Fernand's taking me to dance

in Buenos Aires when he gets out.

- Will you take me too?

- In 20 years.

He'll take you to Buenos Aires

and I'll get out in 20 years.

I'll be an old man.

Like old men.

Don't like old Women.

Your time's up

like grumpy old men, too.

Dom...

You take good care of your mother, OK.

Ciao, Antonio.

What are you doing?

Fernand...

Stop it!

Stop that...

Luc!

Time to go! J.C.!

Come on, everybody out now.

Get a move on.

Hurry UP!

Out!

Fernand!

Thanks.

Back to the cells, please.

The men danced together

because there were no Women around.

They practiced... for after.

To go to dances

to try and hook one.

- Imagine, seven men for one Woman!

- Watch the meat.

Crazy. Seven men, one Woman.

That's Wild.

They were practicing.

That's Why they did it.

That's the true origin

of the tango in Argentina.

This isn't Argentina.

OK, but it's still funny.

It's like us. We're doing it

to seduce a Woman too.
