Hello, my love.

I've set the table and put water on for the coffee,

so it's all done. You don't have to do it.

Thank you.

Would you like some toast?

No, I'm not hungry.

Okay.

I'm going to work. I don't want to stay trapped in the house.

Yes.

I talked to a neurologist that came to see Vincent. He's the hospital director.

- I got good news. - Well, you haven't told me that.

What did he say?

He called me back yesterday.

He says, "Listen, we've thought about it, and we're going to make a bid.

"We're thinking of changing the hospital windows."

Okay.

- Did he tell you something about Vincent? - What? No, nothing.

No.

I'm going to the glass shop with my car.

Your car? Can it still get you to work, if it's not under your name?

It's just a joke.

You should let Philippe tell the jokes.

Yeah, right. Philippe. Yes.

Fuck.

THE GLASS HOUSE

- Good morning. - Hello.

Please don't get mad,

- but Pierre is in the shop. - No.

I didn't want things to go sour, as I'm negotiating a settlement.

If we can get an agreement, he'll leave at the end of the month. Trust me.

Hello, son.

- Hey. - How's it going?

Good, and you?

Instead of driving around in the glass shop's small car,

next year, I thought about buying a Jeep.

It will be convenient, if you have things to carry.

Yeah, it's just that�

next year, I won't be here anymore. I'll be a comedian.

Oh, yeah. You still want to do that.

Well, yeah.

I thought you liked having a good job, being self-reliant, traveling, all that.

No, I still have the same dream of starving to death.

It hasn't changed.

I audition for �cole nationale de l'humour today at noon.

YES QUEBEC, MY COUNTRY

Hey, come here. Who put that there?

I don't know.

Okay, tell the guys to come here.

Hey, you guys?

What does that mean?

Are we telling the customers we are separatists?

We have the right to express our opinion.

Do I have the right to express my opinion in my shop?

- Built by the sweat of my brow? - Yes.

If you look at the polls, some of your customers will like it.

No. Our customers are working people who keep the economy going.

Unemployed people, fleabags, and mudslingers that favor separation

don't need doors and windows.

They spend their days on their porch eating Jos Louis cakes.

You're exaggerating�

Okay, look.

We'll settle this with a vote.

Who is for separation,

instability, economic misery and job loss? Who votes "yes"?

Four.

Who is for stability, status quo, and things that continue to go well?

Who votes "no"?

Four. And since Phong Phu doesn't speak French, it amounts to five.

You have to remove the sign.

I told her, "Bah, next week."

- It worked? - What do you think?

This is typical of you.

Oh, there's Annie.

There you are, you fucking scumbag!

What are you doing here?

I came to give you back your things.

Your rags and your fucking titty magazines!

Here!

I would have loved to also give you back the chlamydia you gave me,

but I can't.

Calm the fuck down. You don't make sense.

Oh yeah? I have chlamydia.

I didn't catch that wiping your ass

or making your meals, you fucking asshole!

You and your fucking lies disgust me.

You're not setting foot in the house anymore. Is that understood?

Back in the car, you two!

She's fucking crazy.

She's imagining things.

She is.

Who would have thought you and I would end up as roommates?

What?

Oh no. No, no, no, no.

My place is too small.

Come on, Alain,

the tighter it is, the better it feels. And it's only temporary.

Well�

Let's go back to your place and get me settled.

Gaston.

Gaston!

Since we haven't paid PRG, they sent us a formal notice.

I read through fast,

but it says we have to pay before Friday.

How come Langlois' name is on this?

They are majority shareholders at PRG, I'm just learning this, too.

- So, Jean Langlois is suing me? - Yes.

The one who put me in deep shit when he stopped ordering from us

is suing me because I can't pay my supplier?

What dirty, bottom-feeding asshole.

If he resumed ordering from us, he'd get paid.

He came bawling over Vincent at the hospital,

he never told me about this.

What a motherfucking, two-faced sewer's rat.

- Can this make us go bankrupt? - No, no.

But if he sues�

I didn't like this picture anyway.

- Okay. - This can't go on.

I could sell the glass shop.

To whom? We're losing money each month.

We're losing money now, but we're profitable.

Mr. Iasenza told me he was interested.

Right now, we have to cut costs as much as possible.

- Cut everywhere you can. - Yes.

- Even Diane? - Except for Diane.

Jos�e, can you send Alain over?

Sure.

It's because sometimes, I host a friend.

He spends a lot of time at my place.

Just tell him you have a new, temporary roommate.

Gaston, it's just not possible.

Okay.

Alain?

Mr. Joyal wants to see you.

Jos�e told me, "Mr. Joyal wants to see you in his office."

That made me really uneasy.

But I told myself, "Day has just started, you haven't done anything wrong yet."

Alain, I'm going to� I'm going to increase your commission.

- What? - Yeah.

I can't give you a base salary or provide you with a car anymore.

From now on, you'll only get paid on a commission basis.

- What does that mean? - That you'll only get paid when you sell.

But, I don't sell.

That's the problem. You cost money and you make us lose sales.

No, I haven't done well these past few weeks, but I�

I feel like it's getting better.

When did you want to start that?

I'd say, right now.

Okay.

Well, if I'm paid on a commission basis�

I don't think I'm going to stay.

Philippe is a good salesman, he'll probably stay on sales.

I could take his job as a foreman.

You think you're the right person to increase production?

Make sure the guys toe the line, and get into fights with the union?

Honestly� no.

But I could try.

- I'll think about it, Alain. - Okay.

I've thought about it. It's just not possible.

And staying as a salesman, like I was before, would that work?

It can't work.

No? No. Okay.

Okay.

It pains me.

But, I can�

I can understand you.

Thank you.

Thank you for keeping me so long.

You're a good person, Alain.

You're just not in the right place.

Yeah.

I think I'll sell the piece of land I own in the industrial park to Langlois.

- You can't sell that piece of land. - No? Why not?

- You know perfectly well why not. - Yeah?

Hello, Maryse. How's the family?

Oh, I don't know.

I need to see Jean.

Yeah, right�

He's not available.

Listen, I know he's here.

Go tell him I have a very interesting offer for him

and that I won't leave the office until I see him.

PRG, now.

Instead of a lawsuit, you could have sent orders.

Everyone would have been happy.

I manage those businesses separately.

If the Jean from Langlois Aluminum sends me orders,

the Jean from PRG will get paid.

Both your businesses will be separately happy.

If you came here to tell me that, I'll politely ask you to leave.

No, no.

I know you've been looking for a piece of land to expand your business.

I own some land in the industrial park, nearby.

It's valued at over $200,000 by the city, but it's probably worth more.

How much would you give me for it?

Why would you sell it?

I need fast cash.

With Vincent in the hospital, and everything that's going on�

I don't have time to get a real estate agent, study offers, and get inspection.

I'd sell it to you right now, bing bang, no legal warranty, all done.

Unless I subtract it out of your debt to PRG.

No, I manage these businesses separately.

Of course, I'm interested�

But I don't want to look like someone who is taking advantage of the situation.

If you want, I'll call my lawyer right now.

You sign on that you're giving me your land,

and I'll write you a check of 100,000. All done.

$100,000?

Come on, Jean, fucking shit.

It's my final offer.

Do I call my lawyer?

Sure.

Place your initials here.

And please sign here, too.

Great, everything is in order.

Thank you, Andr�.

For the rest, it's just business, you know that.

Hey, I do a lot of business with mayor Valcourt, things are moving fast.

I won't waste any time. Thursday, first sod is turned.

- You're invited. - Goodbye, Jean.

Wow, how come, only 100,000?

Sometimes, it's best not to ask.

Life is giving us presents, we just have to accept them.

You know Maryse, while fishing,

Jean told me lots of steamy stories involving you two.

Bow chicka wow wow!

He told you that?

No, he hasn't.

I was just guessing.

Maryse Vigneault, receptionist.

I'm supposed to get a better position, at some time.

I've been sleeping with Jean for the past 11 years, and waiting for 11 years.

But I'm sure, in the end�

But I'm no bimbo. I'm going to get fed up.

These invoices have to be put in the mail.

- You can set up at my desk. - Okay.

I'm happy you're back at work. It'll take your mind off things.

Yes. Thank you, Jos�e.

Well, there's also Philippe to take my mind off things.

- Yes! He auditions today. - Yes.

I can see him as a comedian.

He's so funny.

It's as though he had swallowed a clown when he was a baby.

This�

Oh, yeah.

Okay.

I get to my customer's house, she opens the door.

I tell her, "You're expecting a baby!" She says, "No."

I tell her, "Ah�"

MR. JOYAL EMERGENCIES ONLY

Mr. Iasenza!

How's it going?

Well, quite well.

Damned city.

If that fucking road work could just come to an end.

They say it'll take until the year 2000.

At least, it's going to be over after that.

- You want something to drink? - Yes�

I'll have a Blanche de Chambly.

Thank you.

That's� That's beer, right?

Yes, a beer made in Quebec.

Very highly rated.

I remember having one�

I believe it doesn't taste like other beers.

I've always drank Labatt 50.

One time, my son gave me a Molson Dry to taste. Wasn't bad. And my son�

My son wants to become a comedian, imagine that. He told me so.

With everything that's going on around us, there are never enough comedians.

Real comedians, maybe.

But he has a business major. He's brilliant. But this, it�

It makes no sense.

It makes sense to him.

You're mad because you're losing your succession. But if he likes it�

He might achieve success.

I would be very surprised, but what I'm sure about�

It's that he'll never make a living like you and me.

Yeah.

A cow patty, it's a patty�

- Hi. - Hi.

How did it go?

Very well. We sang our tune. It usually goes well.

In front of three people, it's tougher.

Of course.

Don't judge by their reaction.

If your number works with other people, that's what you've keep in mind.

I don't know, I never did my number.

Yeah, right! As if!

- Good luck. - Good luck.

Philippe Joyal?

- Yes. Yes? - It's your turn!

Okay.

We know this isn't easy. Just try to have fun, okay?

We see a lot of numbers, so we don't laugh a lot,

but that doesn't mean we don't like it.

I have lots of experience as a comedian.

I've been making jokes in front of people I don't know for�

for about 15 seconds, now.

I should be okay.

Great. Start whenever you feel like it.

Okay.

Listen�

You told me, "If you ever want to sell, just call me."

I'm calling you.

That was a while ago.

Times are more difficult now.

It's because of my son. He's in a coma, in the hospital.

I heard about that.

Must be tough.

Yeah.

But, it's a small world, right? I know your shop, and business is slow.

No.

It's just that we lost a big client, and with my son in the hospital�

But you,

with all your hardware stores, you could make your own thermos.

Listen, I�

I have a deal for you.

A very good deal.

I don't want money, I just want to break even.

I'd sell it to you to write off the debts, and that's it.

How much are we talking about?

With the accounts payable and the bank, we're looking at a million.

Normally, it would be worth twice as much, you know that.

Are you making the move?

After asking for the order, the salesman stops talking.

The first one to talk loses.

Someone told me they were interested, but�

since you talked to me about it first�

I don't know that I have one million to put on that.

So, if someone else is interested�

No, I didn't mean that.

It's not someone in the industry.

You, with your hardware stores,

you would have glass, thermos, that would be a big advantage.

Right, right�

But, it would also be a big move to make.

Once it's done, things will go smoothly.

I'm telling you, it's really not expensive.

If it wasn't for one son in a coma,

the other who wants to become a clown,

I'd never sell.

I'll think about it.

I was at a customer's place, and I'd had a few the night before,

and once in the house, something started to rise, it was my stomach.

I told myself, "I'm going to be sick, I gotta go to the bathroom."

I'm in my customer's bathroom, and I'm vomiting, and vomiting.

I succeeded in doing it silently,

which is no easy feat, vomiting in silence.

Don't try it at home, I'm a professional.

And then, I tell myself, "She doesn't know."

I come back to the kitchen,

but a small detail betrayed me. It was the�

the bit of broccoli that was stuck to my foot.

That gave me away.

Okay, that was it.

Ah, thank you! That was great.

Thank you so much.

Hey�

Hi, Alain.

Hi.

It's nice of you to come.

I make him a new bouquet every week.

They're dry flowers. Is that necessary?

If it brightens peoples' homes, it must be good for our Vincent.

It's nice of you.

You're not working?

I'm not a salesman.

Whether I work or not, it won't make any difference.

No, I'm more useful here.

Right, my man?

Hello?

Hello, Mom�

It's Philippe.

Can you put the phone near Vincent's ear, please?

Okay.

Hi, man�

I've just finished auditioning for the �cole de l'humour�

and it went really well.

I don't want to brag but�

I think this might work out. I think I'm going to be a comedian.

I know what I'm doing right now is stupid, but�

I wanted you to be the first person I'd tell it to, so�

So, bye� Bye!

Bye!

It smells good. What are you making?

Slices of ham with pineapple.

It's going to be good.

Do you know what happened to Gaston, this morning, at the glass shop?

No.

His wife gave him back all his things, in front of everyone.

She's leaving him, because he gave her chlamydia.

Yes, Alain told me about that.

Poor Gaston.

Poor wife, really.

Yes, yes.

I hope it won't affect the sales, because we're screwed.

About that, Alain told you I'm putting him on a commission basis?

Yes, he came to the hospital to see Vincent.

He told me. He understands.

But you didn't come back to the shop this afternoon.

No, I didn't have time.

Where were you?

At a customer's.

All afternoon?

Yes, why are you asking that?

I don't know.

Was your customer in Laval-des-Rapides?

I don't know all my customer's addresses by heart.

Did you have a customer at 10, Mongrand avenue, today?

I was passing by and I saw you through the window.

I didn't want to disturb you. You seemed busy.

Well, yes, I was.

When I'm at the office, a new problem comes up every two minutes.

I'm under constant pressure. This is like an outlet for me.

I'd tell you that it's the only place I feel good, these days.

Yes, I understand.

I understand you need that, and you do that to feel good,

to feel free, but look, that's exactly what I need right now,

to have a place where I can feel good, and it's certainly not here.

Tonight, I'm sleeping at Ginette's.

Then, I'm going to look for an apartment and I don't care what you're going to say,

I have to do this for me, and you'll give me whatever you want.

I don't care, I won't fight you.

I know you'd win. You always win, Andr�.

I don't resent you, I just can't live like this anymore, okay?

Dinner's ready, let's eat.

Motherfucker!

What a load of shit.

YES QUEBEC, MY COUNTRY

Because, Michel�

Hello, Mr. Joyal.

He says the delivery never showed up.

I don't know what to say.

Yes.

- Are you okay? - No.

Have you decided what you are going to do with the lawsuit?

No.

- Diane's not coming in today? - No.

She won't come in anymore.

You finally told her there isn't so much work.

I hope she didn't take it too hard.

Diane left me.

Listen, I�

I'm really sorry.

Mr. Achard from the bank is coming at 10:00, for your meeting.

- Do you want me to cancel? - Yes, because I won't be there anyway.

I'm going to see a first sod being turned.

It's going to clear my mind.

Son of a bitch.

Listen, just to keep functioning on a daily basis,

the glass shop needs $300,000 in the next 72 hours.

You could mortgage your house, your cottage will have to be sold, but�

that could only work if you are sure that business is going to pick up.

Or�

Or?

You'll have to go bankrupt.

Look,

with all your debts,

with your sons gone,

and at the age you've reached, it would be wiser to go bankrupt.

Yes.

Yes, yes.

I'll think about it, Gilles.

No.

No, Andr�. You don't have time to think anymore.

You have to decide today.

Okay.

I'll call you later.

Good.

Thank you, Gilles.

Andr�.

Yes.

Diane is on line 1.

I'm not talking to her.

She says it's important.

She can come back home and tell me.

Okay, and there is Mr. Iasenza on line 2.

I'll take it.

Mr. Iasenza, hello.

Yes.

Okay.

Okay.

No, I understand, it's just that�

Yes.

Okay!

And a good night to you too, goodbye.

Yes.

I talked to Diane.

She wanted to tell you that Vincent spoke.
