Hi !

- Put him on.
- It's your brother, sir.

No, he's here in person.

Big brother !

Looking good !

- Sorry.
- I can't stand my face being touched.

- Anything.
- What am I supposed to say ?

Make something up, if you want.

I've not got much imagination.

Fuck, it's no joke talking to you.

I'm not used to talking.
I'm always alone.

So take advantage of me.

How's Dad ?

He's dead, but doesn't know it yet.

- You never call him.
- He'll live for forever.

Why should I ?

To hear him tell me I'm a criminal ?

- Bad luck doesn't exist.
- You've been unlucky, that's all.

It's an invention of losers.

- You were friends as kids, weren't you ?

You still see him ?

It's a bit tough to describe him

But he is.
