- You feel embarrassed?

- Very.

And since I'm concentrating,

I don't get them.

So no jokes, sorry.

- OK, I'll go.

- OK.

An Eskimo is waiting for his girlfriend

on the ice field.

He takes a thermometer and says,

"If she's not here by eight, I'm gone. "

I got it.

- That was awful.

- Wasn't it?

OK, your turn.

A female one-humped camel

sees a male two-humped camel

in her path and says,

- "Pity he's a hunchback. "

- I know that one.

- A funny face.

- Yes. Make a funny face for me.

- OK. You sure it'll relax us?

- Sure.

OK. A funny face...

- This is the "plastic surgery" face.

- OK.

- You ready?

- Yes.

I didn't do a thing.

It's 100 per cent natural.

You're ling!

Put your napkin on.

Our Cypriot went to town.

You see, we had a good laugh.

Now, there's someone

who doesn't like me.

- What?

- You said everyone liked me.

- Yes.

- Yes. But not him. Karl Willems.

- Who's that?

- The architect of this building.

I see. Why not?

We were competitors

for a project ages ago, and I won.

He's very tall, so the poor man felt...

humiliated.

You're very beautiful.

What can I say?

"Goodnight, Alexandre"?

I had a fabulous time.

Me too.

Benji!

- You had the hearing postponed?

- Yes.

- But we'd agreed.

- That I needed to think.

If his divorce goes well,

Lefort will let us manage his estate.

The millions he's laundered

in offshore accounts?

- He can save us.

- He can ruin our reputation.

An insolvent law practice

is good for our image?

Money isn't everything.

In the long term, ethics pay off.

Come on, you can trust me.

No. Our five years of marriage taught me,

for one, that I don't know you

and also that you are very far

from what I imagined you to be.

So ask me anything you like,

but not to trust you.

Something's different.

What's changed? You're not the same.

You met someone?

No.

Diane? I have Bergeron on line one.

Alexandre.

His name is Alexandre.

- How do you know?

- I overheard her on the phone.

A cup of coffee?

- Alexandre what?

- I don't know.

Of course, I'll get your coffee right away!

That was borderline.

You're not going to cry?

Because if you do, it'll spoil my victory.

You're OK?

- I'm fine. Can we play?

- Go on.

You OK?

You're not going to cry?

- It'll spoil my victory.

- Go on, wise guy.

Ready?

You know what?

I think your arms are too short.

Let's go.

What exactly are you doing?

Who are you smiling at?

- I'm not smiling.

- Yes, you are. Like this.

Don't be silly.

Are you going home?

I told you, I'm going to the game.

You got a 50?

Hey...

- I've only got a hundred.

- That'll do.

What are you doing?

We're going to Fernand's

for a disco party.

Cool, dancing.
