Fifteen.

It's not doing any good.

Fifteen. We don't know when his heart stopped.

We've saved a lot. We can't do it every time.

No.

Fifteen.

Hallelujah!

No, turn right.

It's the street behind the town hall where we went last month.

The heart malformation.

Look out!

I can't recall a time when I didn't love you.

I'll look after you.

The test results don't show any lesion.

One important thing is.

...that the wound just below your larynx

...has nothing to do.

with your problem, your stammer.

You have what we know as a stammer of psychological origin.

Try.

Go on.

Don't worry.

It's bound to take a little time.

Breathe out...

Relax...

Let's do it again.

Breathe.

Go on.

Let's try it again.

I love you.

Go on.

Okay, one more time.

6 months later.

6th Animal Imitation Championship.

You're the best, Ali.

Good old Jos�.

My brother's this year's champ.

He'll wipe them out.

You Moroccans. Vanity's the only thing you never stole.

The champions for three years...

- We know who they are. - Them?

We'll waste those losers!

Hey, Eve...

Eve...

Show us how you do an echo.

You're bl... Bl... Bloody good.

That'll hurt next time, okay?

Come on... Just kidding around.

Oh yeah? I'll show you how I kid around.

Hello, everybody.

Hi, L�a.

Okay?

I forgot to get you to sign for the deliveries.

I could've come over.

I was passing by.

- Can we get those beers today? - Coming up!

Serve them while I deal with L�a.

Personally, one day, if I...

Anyhow... I think it'd be a good idea.

...to be in an ambulance like you.

Or an air hostess!

Show me where your tonsils are.

You need to know to be in an ambulance.

He knows where they are. Go on, show him.

I'm not stupid, okay. I know tonsils are kitchen utensils.

Your brother's right. You're a real champion!

Let's split.

The jerks are leaving.

Boozers always come back. I wouldn't mind a drink.

- Hey, you lovebirds! - Leave them be.

Sorry.

I'll add it to my collection.

You used to save lives.

And now, you can't even serve a drink.

It's been a year, Eve.

And I can't go on.

Where's the woman I love gone?

Ever since the accident...

...it's as if you're not doing anything.

Not even saving us.

I'll use the fact...

I'll use the fact my parents are away.

I need to be alone...

...to think about all this.

You too.

Say something.

Anything. Please, just say something to me.

I can't stand this situation anymore.

You really matter to me. You know that, right?

No.

I don't know anything.

We've been lovers two months.

...and I still don't know.

We don't make love anymore.

You always talk about her.

I told you when you called earlier.

I need to be alone, L�a.

To take stock.

I'm lost, see. I'm totally out of it.

What are you hoping?

That she'll be like before?

I'm...

...going...

...to change!

Wake up.

Wake up!

What's going on?

Have you blown a fuse or what? Untie me.

Untie me right now.

Untie me, Eve.

Seen where your fucking silence gets us?

Untie me!

She's everything you aren't anymore.

What colour's the pig?

I say pink is for girls.

He's right. Pink is for chicks.

Hi, Eve. - Hello, Eve.

- Hello, Eve. - What'll you have, B�ber?

- A cognac. - And you?

I'll have... I'll have the same as usual.

Hey, Eve...

What's going on? You're alone at the bar.

It's dangerous.

What if a customer asks you something.

How'll you answer?

You've seen this guy?

And he says I'm the dumb one.

Hey, Eve...

I read you don't stammer if you sing. Try it.

So where's the b... B... Boss?

'Away for a few days. His mum's sick. '

'Meningitis. '

It's a joke, right?

Is there a curse on this place or what?

Last year, you wrecked the championship.

with your accident.

This year, it's Grandma?

Four days from the big day? Just four days.

You can't do this to me, Eve.

Fuck!

Read it, Bernard.

'We'll candle everything. '

Handle everything! Who's "we"?

Who is it, Eve?

It's you?

Actually, if you want, I can help you.

I can help you.

Know where Damien is?

Something's wrong.

You should be distraught.

Why do you keep the bar open?

'To show him I can change. '

Has he called?

He will for the championship.

When he does, tell him to call me, please.

I have to talk to him.

I'll hold up the delivery until he calls me.

And with the booze you have left, he'd better call soon.

He came looking for me, not the other way round.

Help!

Help!

How long will you keep me like this?

Untie me. I hurt all over.

I'm going to piss myself.

I swear, I'm going to piss myself!

You think this is funny?

You think no one will wonder?

How'll you manage the championship?

Think about it.

What is it you want?

You really love her? '

Do you still really love me?

I...

Let me go.

This can't work. You know that.

Let me go.

Please.

Is this your idea of love?

You call this love?

You're going mad, Eve.

For you!

You took the woman of my life.

Give...

...me...

...one last chance.

Eve, over here, please.

Let me help, it'll take less time.

'No more table service. '

Ali, go over there.

What? Why d'you say that? Why should I go over there?

When you have an IQ of ten...

...you obey without asking questions.

What you need is a dog instead of a brother.

Piss off or you'll feel this brother's hand.

Okay. Come on, Ali.

I'll teach you to imitate an asshole!

Eve, this looks bad.

Come here.

I got into debt to help my brother.

They could take him back.

You know Ali couldn't stand that.

The championship has to take place.

The 3,000-euro prize is our last chance.

I know you understand.

Why are we here, Eve?

Why?

I...

Take your time. Calm down.

I can't help you.

Screw your speech therapist!

I don't get it.

I don't get how you freeze someone by encouraging them.

Tell me.

I can't recall a time.

When I didn't love you.

I'm...

washing her off you.

Stop!

He...

He doesn't agree.

Why...

...haven't we had a child?

Stop right there!

Don't do that.

- Don't do that, Eve! - It'll cure us.

Don't do it...

Eve!

You see, you...

...still want me.

I'd like to look around the house.

'Unlisted'

Damien, is that you?

If it's you, answer me, please.

Eve!

Cut it out now.

I can sense he's here.

It's me.

Where are you?

In a hotel.

I need to see you. To talk.

Just a second.

Get out!

Where are you?

Is that Eve I hear?

I thought you were in the house.

Can't you give her a break?

Get out of there now. I'll call you later.

Don't hang...

I want him to call me back.

I want you to be cured, Eve.

I want to hear your voice.

On Saturday...

...you'll organize the championship alone.

Show me that miracle's possible.

It's our last chance.

Why haven't they delivered the drinks?

They were due today. The cellar's empty.

Normal.

Normal?

No, it's not normal.

Is L�a being trouble?

I've...

...sorted it all out...

with her.

You saw her?

Okay.

Remember, let the deputy mayor chair the jury.

He might have a coronary otherwise.

Let's see...

You can sit here.

They're used to everything else. You just need to guide them.

Don't worry, it'll be okay.

All I need now is a good place to hide.

I...

Calm down.

You'll never manage like that. Take your time.

I'm sorry.

Listen to me breathe.

You...

You remember?

We...

We used to talk...

...for hours here.

Every year...

...you wanted...

...to change the championship completely.

In the end...

we were...

...so excited, we had to make love.

'I lied. L�a's holding up the delivery. '

I have to call her?

What else can we do?

- Excuse me. - See you later.

Thanks.

Write it, please.

Prevent... The championship...

...and he won't want to see you again.

He can go to hell.

Think about it.

You're going...

...to lose him.

Good for you.

You...

won't do that.

You're right. I won't.

You're a bastard.

You're using me to patch up your couple.

Can she hear us?

- L�a, can Eve hear us? - No.

We had an agreement. What's going on?

If you love me, you don't love her. It's simple.

After the championship, we'll get back together, okay?

If that's true, why let her hope?

I'm forcing Eve to be cured. I owe her that.

I'm leaving.

Think for a second. I had to get her to do the delivery.

I'd managed it.

I got scared.

I panicked and got scared.

I'm sorry!

I don't want you to... cure me.

Don't do that. Enough!

You're not backing out now!

I didn't put up with this for nothing.

I swear you'll see this through whether you like it or not.

Be the woman I loved again.

How will the championship change anything?

It'll be the first time.

...you've completed something since the accident, understand?

And I need that.

Everything's fine.

It's impossible. Damien has to be here.

His mother's...

...too sick.

It's a disaster. I knew it.

Mr Kin, I knew this was coming.

You're talking now?

You heard her, Mr Lixon?

I'm glad you're replacing Damien.

The jury's needed a woman for years.

We have to agree since we have no choice.

You'd better do it right.

Is something wrong?

Write it down! Come on!

It's suicide.

How the hell did I forget him? Shit!

Don't worry.

You can't host the contest.

You've never done it and you're on the jury.

Face it...

...you think you can get a word out with these maniacs?

Eve...

Please.

You've always doubted in me.

That's why...

...you've never been able to help me.

All right.

Welcome...

...to the sixth...

...animal imitation...

...championship.

Where's the boss?

Spit it out!

Lf...

we skip...

...the deadly boring opening speech...

...do you mind?

The image of perfect love...

Momone and Jos�.

You're doing well.

It's different...

...but will you last all evening?

Hi, all you animals! Rabbah at your service!

Eve, sorry.

I'll introduce my brother.

...to spare the scratched record effect.

Get ready, time for a huge talent. My kid brother.

It's Ali. You know him? He's that good kid.

who never hurts anyone.

Let's stay calm.

I just wanted to say Ali is hot.

He'll set this stage on fire. Just you wait and see.

Ladies and gentlemen, let's hear it for Monsieur Ali.

If you want... you can untie him.

Because I can't.

The scratched record's back.

Our champions for the last three years...

Andreas and Gunther.

We have a problem with the beer pumps, nothing's working.

We want beer!

I checked it. I don't understand.

Where's my beer got to?

We have to do something. Hurry it up.

I'll miss my turn.

I want one last beer!

Shut it!

You've never competed anyway. You're always too drunk!

React, Bernard!

Good evening, Eve.

He isn't here.

All this...

...is us.

We're unique.

Hurrah for the champions!

Your couple's dead, you realize?

What's going on?

There's no such thing as a tie! Give me that.

- Ali's the champion. You know he is! - Rabbah, please... Be reasonable.

I knew from the word go you'd shit on us.

Leave her! Leave her alone!

I don't want to see you again!

You've ruined everything!

It's your fault! You've ruined it!

Wrong! I've succeeded!

I've succeeded!

The winners!

The winners!

I love you.

Sorry.

Forgive me.

Forgive me.

I couldn't leave you, Eve.

Not like that.

I wanted to leave you.

...as well as we loved each other.

For that, you had to be cured.

When I saw you on stage...

I was out of my depth.

I saw the sun again...

...that had lit up my life.

And now I've ruined it all. Sorry.

You've cured me.

Even of you.

I'll forget you, my love.

It'll be tough but I'll manage it.

I can remember a moment now when I didn't love you.
