- Hello, Maryse. - Hi, Andr�.

It's okay, Maryse, you can go now. I'll close shop.

But�

Who will lock up?

I'll do it, thank you.

Will you be able to do it?

Yeah,

Maryse.

Thank you.

Listen, it was a business decision.

And, there's a noticeable price difference.

It's not the same product quality.

At same price, where would you go?

Don't use your sales gimmicks on me.

It's no gimmick. At the same price, would you come back?

Don't think so.

- There's also delivery. - Delivery! What's wrong?

They're better equipped.

Their way of wrapping makes it faster to unload.

Faster? You have 150 thermos glass to unload. It takes about 15 minutes less?

Maybe, yes.

So, to save 15 minutes a day, you accept a thermos of lesser quality?

You let down a business that's been with you for 20 years.

Come on, Jean. It's like leaving your wife to go with the receptionist.

Listen, I know it's hard for you,

but that's it.

Listen,

you know me, Jean? Right?

Please, don't make me beg. Am I that kind of guy?

Have I ever begged you for anything? No.

But now, I'm going to do it because�

Yes, I need new orders.

I would like to keep my relationship

with the guy I respect the most in the industry.

Also�

I didn't want to say anything in front of Vincent, because he doesn't know,

but Diane has�

Diane has cancer.

With the treatments, it's going to be difficult

to find a new client and to keep the jobs in the shop.

Listen, Andr�

I'm sorry, I didn't know.

I understand.

I'll talk to my plant manager. Okay?

Thank you.

We'll manage.

What kind of cancer is it?

What?

She doesn't want to talk about it.

But I can tell you.

It's all the�

Ovaries.

If we can do anything, Sylvie and I�

Please don't say anything to Sylvie.

Diane will surely tell her when she's ready.

Oh, I understand.

All I want is for her to pull through.

JOYAL GLASS SHOP

No, no, no. I want to talk to Philippe.

- Gaston. - Yes.

Business isn't good, lately.

I don't want to know all your sales gimmicks, but please use them.

We can't afford to lose a sale.

Hey, you can count on me, boss.

It will be white inside, but brown on the outside, right?

Yeah.

Will you let him count!

She's always like that.

She speaks when she shouldn't.

Okay.

So, we're talking about energy glass, with installation.

White on the inside, brown on the outside, okay.

With taxes, we're looking at $19,000.

So, can we do business together, Mr. Breton?

Look, it's just that�

At Fenetres ProExpert, the windows are $2,000 cheaper than yours.

Okay, I have a question for you.

At same price,

who would you choose for your windows?

You.

Yes, we'd choose you.

And if I'd offer you a $500 rebate, would you order from us?

Listen, I'm just saying, because�

Honestly, I don't know if that's even possible, we never do that.

But if you want, I'm willing to call my boss to ask him.

If it works out, your windows could be in production today.

Okay.

- Good. Can I use your phone? - Sure.

Hey�

Wow, really.

Impressive.

A long cord like this is practical.

We can go everywhere in the house, with that.

Let him call!

Hello, Jos�e?

Yes, Gaston here.

I'd like to talk to Mr. Joyal, please. Yes.

Yes, the big boss.

Some people hate to bother the big boss. But hey, not me.

Mr. Joyal? Yes, Gaston speaking.

I'm with the customer I told you about, the one for the windows.

Yeah.

Well, the customer is ready to order,

but only if I offer him a $500 rebate.

Ah, another rebate.

Now, don't come home too late, your sister and her boyfriend are coming to supper.

No, no, I know we never do that.

Am�lie, turn the TV off!

Can you buy wine on your way home, please? There's only one bottle left.

Okay, for the color� White inside and brown outside.

Would it be possible�

Red wine, it's a roast beef.

Perfect. Hey, thank you, Mr. Joyal.

I need a confirmation number, okay? Yeah.

One time, I didn't have the number and had to pay for the rebate myself.

Yes, it's 24-83.

Okay, 24-83, thank you so much. Hey, see you soon.

Thank you, bye-bye.

So,

to whom do I make this out to?

Claude Breton.

Shut up, I said!

Claude

Breton.

Ah, Mr. Joyal. It's very nice of you to come.

Mr. Mayor, I told myself, "One day, I'll have some contracts."

That's all we want.

We are here to help the business of the city.

Last month, we bid four times, and no contract.

I can't keep track of everything.

We probably had a better offer.

It would be surprising. Last time, we bid at cost.

There's something wrong.

Would it be possible to consider our next bid?

We'll lower our prices.

As I was telling you, we're here to help.

If we can do anything, please call my assistant, Mr. Guimond.

- Hello. - Hello.

Mr. Gendron!

You fucking big crook�

Listen, Mr. Joyal,

all we want is to do business with you.

Mr. Mayor does an extraordinary job, the city's doing fine.

But, sometime,

if you'd like to offer a little something

to show your appreciation for his work,

it wouldn't hurt.

Okay.

What kind of little something do I offer?

It's as you wish.

So, maybe a vase.

Or a tie? It's not easy, I don't know him personally.

Or maybe a hooker. I have this niece who�

What do you recommend?

Mr. Joyal, I'm trying to find ways so you get more contracts

with the city, more work for your guys, but if it doesn't suit you, just too bad.

Really, I don't know�

Could it be money?

It's as you wish.

What you give is at your discretion.

Please excuse me, there's a photographer.

There we go.

Listen, there's a reason I'm here.

If I give you an envelope full of money, I'll get contracts?

Mr. Joyal,

you give whatever you want,

but you give because you are happy with Mr. Valcourt's work.

After that, we'll see where we land.

Okay, so how much are we talking about?

It's at your discretion. Personally, I have no idea.

I guess big amounts give way to big contracts.

We never ask for anything.

It's your choice.

You're telling me that on top of having to pay ridiculously high municipal taxes,

I have to take part of my profits and give it to you, as cash for contracts?

Woah, Mr. Joyal! Don't put words in my mouth.

"Big amounts yield big contracts," didn't you say that?

What? I don't remember that.

I prefer to close my shop than to do business with crooks like you.

Mr. Dupuis,

how's it going?

So Annie told me, "Look, red wine, we're having roast beef for supper."

You're unbelievable.

You'd sell a fridge to Eskimos.

Hey, his wife,

every time she tried to open her mouth,

he'd tell her to shut up.

I wouldn't be surprised if she ate a knuckle sandwich once in a while.

And what did you do, when he told her to shut up?

What?

Yes, what did you do?

You think it's funny, if he had beaten her after you left?

Did you tell him it was unacceptable?

That it made you feel uneasy?

I wasn't there to help him manage his relationship,

I was there to sell some windows.

"To sell some windows�"

Well congratulations, you sold some,

and you called your wife again for the fake rebate.

Will it give us trouble, like last time?

No, he didn't know whom I was calling, he was really happy.

"He didn't know�" That's the problem.

Hey. I think the little lady is having a visit from Aunt Flo.

And, do you know the difference between a woman in her periods and a Pitbull?

- No. - The fucking lipstick.

Where do you hear them?

JOYAL GLASS SHOP

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Come on, Alain.

Do your best.

Just do your best.

Hello!

Try to compliment him on something you see in the house,

it builds a bond with the customer.

The picture with the car, on the wall, it's nice.

It's a nice car.

Ah, yeah.

It's in this very car that I caught my wife cheating on me.

This picture is on the wall

to remind myself I should hate her.

It's�

It must work well.

Well, okay�

All included,

with� installation and�

and the taxes�

Of course, it's expensive.

It's�

It amounts to�

$4,000.

I got another bid for half the price.

Really?

- Yeah. - Well, then�

But, the quality�

There are limits to quality.

- I'll go get their bid, you'll see. - Okay.

I'm not inventing things.

No, no.

This rockery is going to be gorgeous.

What are you doing here?

Aren't you having lunch at the golf club?

I haven't prepared anything, I can make you a sandwich.

No! I have a busy day. I wanted to talk to you before I go back.

Okay.

If it's too nice, we're going to have to charge people to come into the yard.

I don't want to stop you, you're on a roll.

No, I have to take a break.

I have to go to Carrefour Laval, to get Vincent's cake at the bakery.

Okay.

What's going on?

Did I tell you that�

Langlois stopped ordering from us.

No� How come?

I don't know. I guess he found a better price.

What are you going to do? He brings all the business to the shop.

Well, not all, but� Yes, yes, a good part of it.

I convinced him to resume ordering from us.

Ah, okay. He's still your biggest client.

Yes. If I lose him, I might have to close the shop.

I had to tell all kinds of tales.

Like, what tale?

What tale? That's just that. He wanted to stop ordering from us.

I told him a bunch of things.

I told him about you.

What?

What did you tell him about me? What did you say?

Well, I told him that�

it's not easy to find clients these days, because you are sick.

I told him that you�

that you had cancer.

What are you talking about? Please tell me you didn't.

No, it was the only way to move him, and it worked.

Are you serious? You said I had cancer so that he'll resume ordering?

Wait, I know it looks�

You kidding me? I can't believe you did that.

Can I tell you how it went?

- Damn! - Can I talk?

Nothing else I could do.

I know it sounds horrible,

but I was thinking about our employees, Vincent and Philippe, you and me.

It came to me out of despair,

and I know it's not okay, but it worked.

I'm sorry, but this doesn't make sense.

You're not well, Andr�.

Look,

he's ordering from us again.

In a few weeks, I'll tell him

that your treatments worked well, and it's over.

Ah, yeah?

Or, I could commit suicide?

Tell him I died from cancer, and he'll continue ordering from you.

You're always exaggerating.

You are sick, Andr� Joyal.

I'll go get the cake.

Well�

It's a good one.

Okay.

Hey, Langlois resumed his orders. How did you manage that?

I told you, I went to see him and I convinced him.

- Isn't your father great? - The greatest.

- But this is a bit long. - Stop it.

Did you buy a new saw?

We couldn't find the other one and we needed it.

How? How did you manage to lose a saw?

We looked for it for hours, we couldn't find it.

If you lose the delivery truck, please tell me before buying a new one.

You'll be happy, I went to the mayor's tournament.

- Good. He must have been happy to see you. - I'm not so sure.

Don't tell me you've made things worse?

We're going to have the same amount of orders.

We never get orders from the city.

That's what I said.

What's this?

Yes?

Jos�e, can you come here, please?

Coming.

- What's up with this? - Yes.

Pierre filed three grievances. I tried to talk to him, but he's stubborn.

He wants the agreement to be respected.

What? He'd have preferred to come in on a Saturday?

He doesn't fix windows.

The agreement says to call a person with more seniority

to cut the glass, and then someone else to fix the windows.

There were three windows to cut, that's ridiculous.

I can't call a guy for that.

If we don't want any trouble, we better pay what they're asking.

What is that? Offensive language against an employee?

He heard you swear at an employee.

When? Who did I swear at?

Well, I don't know that.

Fuck! And there's another one?

Tell you what I'll do. I'll go see him, we'll talk.

No, Mr. Joyal, that's not the way it's done.

Mr. Joyal, we've talked about this�

Pierre.

Pierre!

Did you file three grievances?

You wanted to come in on a Saturday?

You don't fix windows, you know it.

I won't call you in to cut three pieces of glass.

To follow the agreement, yes.

So I pay a guy for eight hours when he only works ten minutes?

So, I respect the agreement and go bankrupt,

or I manage the shop well, and you keep your jobs?

I'm the union rep. My role is to make sure the agreement is respected.

Okay, what about the offensive language?

- When? Who was I talking to? - I don't have to tell you.

Did you write this, "offensive"?

- Yeah. - Do you know what it means?

- Yeah. - Yes.

If I tell you're a sloth who drags his feet all day long,

like a lazy cow, cause he feels protected

by his union, is that offensive?

- I think so. - So, I won't say it.

Didn't want to tell me about it?

Wouldn't have changed anything.

We'd have had to deal your way.

You want to deal my way?

Meet me outside, we'll deal with it my way.

Can you see the grievances? They don't exist anymore. Just shove them up yours.

I'm here for you, guys.

- Did it feel good? - No.

I can't accept that, it's nonsense.

Mr. Joyal, the glass shop is unionized. You have to accept it.

They won't accept it. There will be consequences.

I have to live with the union, but if I listen to it, I go bankrupt.

But you still have to listen to them, try to establish a dialogue.

I know.

And there's Gaston.

Gaston? Come on, what is wrong with Gaston?

He makes inappropriate comments. Sophie came to see me twice.

But it's Gaston, we know him, he's not a bad guy.

No, it's not funny anymore.

If she complains again, we'll have to fire him.

No, we can't afford that.

He made offensive comments to others. I'd like you to talk to him.

Okay, I can talk to Gaston, but fuck, what did he say that was so bad?

He told a girl that she had nice tits under her white blouse.

Okay.

Really.

And Alain, too.

Alain?

Alain made inappropriate comments?

No, but he left the house of a customer.

The customer leaves the kitchen, comes back,

Alain had left. He was afraid not to close.

Fucking Christ!

- Are there any other problems? - Yes, but I'm leaving them till tomorrow.

The guy says, "I'd like to talk about this with my wife."

I said, "Okay, it's the little lady who takes the big decisions."

You should have seen his face. I closed.

Gaston, can you come see me for a minute?

Yes, boss.

It must be about my promotion.

Gaston, Gaston, listen, we�

There were some complaints.

Oh, wait!

I know who it is! It's that guy who cut me off

when it was clearly my turn.

I told him he was a fucking moron, that I'd smash his face,

but I was right.

No, that's not it.

Hey, don't tell me it's�

Did Pierre's wife call here?

- No. - No, no.

No, it's about your demeanor

with the girls at the office.

- The girls in the office? - Yes.

Fuck, what did I do?

You made inappropriate comments and it has to stop.

- Like what? - Like�

Like when you said, "I wouldn't hurt you."

Boss, it's a compliment. It's because she's beautiful.

Gaston, today, you can tell a woman, "You're beautiful."

But "I wouldn't hurt you", it's just not done anymore.

Fuck.

You told another one that�

that she had nice tits under her white blouse?

Wait a minute. Don't you think she doesn't know that?

She comes in, half of her tits hanging out,

and I should act as if nothing's happening?

You come in with half your tits hanging out,

you should expect people will stare.

It's like this girl who says James grabbed her ass at the office party.

She comes in half drunk, she dances like a three-quarter whore,

she rubs herself against people, and goes, "Someone grabbed my ass!"

- Gaston. - Do you know what's going on, Mr. Joyal?

We can't say anything anymore.

That's what's wrong with men today.

We can't say anything anymore. That's 1995 for you.

Isn't it a good thing that we can't say that anymore, Gaston?

Can I trust you to watch what you are saying?

Certainly.

Thank you, Gaston.

She dances three-quarter whore. Fucking Gaston.

Is Alain here?

- No. - No.

He must have gone to close a sale.

Hey, something nice is cooking here.

Hey, Vincent is 27 years old. Can you believe it?

Yeah.

How was your day?

Pretty bad.

Vincent has a girlfriend?

- I don't know, why? - You're setting five places.

No, it's for my brother. He's coming to eat with us.

No, I don't feel like seeing him.

He was lonely. He called me, he wasn't doing well.

So I invited him.

I haven't told him about my cancer yet.

- Hello! - Hi!

- Hello! - Hello!

- Happy birthday, my son. - Thank you.

- Hello, son. - How's it going?

How are you? Yeah.

- Happy birthday. - Thanks.

Always greet your mother first.

Yes, but you were wishing him happy birthday.

Ah, it's my brother. Come in!

Uncle is coming to eat with us?

- Yes, I invited him. He was lonely. - That's cool.

- Hello, everyone! - Hello!

- Here. Happy birthday, Vincent! - Wow!

Chocolate is always good, right?

They're assorted, so there's bound to be some you like.

Sometimes, when you pick only one kind,

you can miss your mark.

Yeah.

- Okay, I'll strain the pasta. - Yes!

Okay, well�

Don't go anywhere.

Hey, you know, our� our client, Mr. Iasenza,

- he owns lots of hardware shops. - Yes.

Two weeks ago, he asked me if my business was for sale.

I told him, "We're always for sale, depending on the price."

"I wouldn't refuse two million."

He told me, "Just give me a call."

We need sales to pick up and the bank to renew our line of credit.

No, you should sell.

Why don't you?

You want me to sell, Philippe?

You're always saying you're in trouble and that we can't make ends meet.

If it's worth it, sell.

We've only been struggling

for a few months, and we always made it. It will pass.

You wouldn't mind that I sell the business I built for you boys?

What would you do?

I don't know, I'm not worried. I'd do something else.

I don't know if I would be hired in doors and windows again.

But I can't thank you enough for hiring me, Mr. Joyal.

It makes me laugh. Why don't you call him Andr�?

No, I can't. For me, he's Mr. Joyal.

But�

I think I'd do some flower arrangements.

What do you mean?

Well, I do that.

During the weekend, I walk around fields

and I pick all kinds of flowers.

Yeah?

It helps me forget the pressure from my job.

I dry them at home. I put together bouquets according to the colors.

I'm pretty good.

Yeah.

Hey, a nice bouquet will brighten a room immediately.

Alain, you'll always find ways to surprise me!

You know that little decoration boutique near my place?

They bought some from me, and they sold everything.

Maybe I should sell to other boutiques, you never know.

You would sell flower arrangements to make a living, Alain?

Well, it wouldn't be easy, for sure, but�

It would help you meet girls.

Best way to say "I'm manly" is a bunch of dried flowers.

Since we're talking about that,

Gilles, our former neighbor, his son Beno�t is gay.

- A homosexual. - Stop that.

And it's not just for the thrill.

He has a boyfriend, just like it's a girl.

He told Gilles, "I would like to bring him over, to introduce him."

Gilles said, "He'll never set foot in this house."

That I can understand.

But that's what he is.

- Yeah. - If he's happy this way�

Yes, if he's happy like that, we'll accept it. But that's not all.

He said that with his boyfriend, because he acts as if it's a woman,

he said he'd like to have a kid, one day, if at all possible.

Gilles said, "What do you mean?" He said, "I'd adopt a kid."

If it's possible, one day�

Philippe! Would you like it if both your parents were fags?

To have a baby, it takes a man and a woman. It's not me talking,

it's nature's law. Imagine if a kid was brought up in such a family!

In PTA meetings� "Who are your parents?"

"Me? It's those two sissies sitting over there."

Dad.

Frankly, Andr�, sometimes�

Maybe you know gay people and you don't know it.

Okay, but�

To have a kid, don't you agree with me?

No, no.

Okay, when I say that to have and raise a child,

it takes a man's penis and a woman's vagina, I am wrong?

Yeah.

Is there any pasta left?

Yes, please give me your plate.

- Yeah. - After that, the cake.

Thank you.

That was fun.

Vincent looked happy, didn't he?

Yeah, but Philippe is the one worrying me.

Why?

When I said I might sell the company�

- It was as if he didn't care. - Well.

Business is quiet around the shop, maybe that's what's bothering him.

I think I'm going to teach him sales. He'd be good.

I think Gilles' situation is sad.

Me too, poor man.

I think it's sad for his son.

When you have kids, you love them and accept them as they are.

If one of our kids was gay, I'd love him just as much. I hope you too.

Of course�

Of course.

You see the employee's salary, the fleet, the trucks, the shop.

If we computerize everything, we'll be 80% faster.

It costs $50,000.

It'll pay for itself.

Hi.

I gotta order another folding machine, we can't find ours.

I can't explain, but we need it.

It doesn't make sense. And with the saw, it means we're being robbed.

I'm always here. I'd see it if someone stole our stuff.

It can't disappear like that. They can't get into the shop.

Someone unlocks the door before they leave.

Yes, and they come back later to steal stuff.

- Should we call the police? - No.

Let's stay here tonight. If someone comes, we'll take care of him.

Let's park our cars at McDonald's, they'll think we're gone.

Every production day, Langlois has to be your priority.

But he already is.

It's just that filling a PO takes 25 minutes.

We have to put that on computer, Dad. Everybody's doing it.

If everybody takes a bad decision, you don't have to follow them.

- Why change something that works well? - You think it works well?

No, really, I agree with Dad.

We don't have to evolve.

It's just like cars.

Why? Horses ran just fine.

- Philippe! - Horses were okay.

Stop that! I just don't think the investment is worth it.

With everything we'd save in time and in staff, we can't lose.

- Yes. - It's still a gizmo.

The human factor is important, in business.

It's like laser disks. I love Michel Sardou.

Laser or LP record, I don't care.

I don't buy the gizmo, I buy the human.

Hey, LP record, it's a really young expression.

- It sounded modern. - It sounded young to say that.

We have to make the move, or be relegated.

We're a glass shop, fucking Christ, we don't send rockets to the moon.

Dad, what are you doing? Stop!

- Call the police. - This could be dangerous.

I'm protecting my shop. Go call the police.

Hey, Dad.
