-You are late !

-Is that so ? Why ?

-They have been at the door since 9:30 a.m. -Who is that ?

-Well. How am I there? -Bah ... well! Great !

-It's okay ? -Yeah yeah !

Michel! Who's there waiting for us?

-Dear friends, hello! -Hello !

-Sorry for the delay,

but I was held back by a morning meeting ...

The Finns always insist on starting the day at 7:30 am!

I unfortunately have a big day ahead of me,

with the adoption of one of my reports

in the Fisheries Commission ...

Which you will have the joy of attending!

So I leave you in the hands of Samy,

my assistant. -What?

-Uh ...

He doesn't look like that, but he's very smart!

You can ask him anything you want! Here.

-Michel, I don't have time for that.

I have the report that is going to vote this morning ...

-We always have time for retired teachers, okay?

So make them dream!

Do what you want, but make them dream! Here !

Good ! I leave you and I tell you later!

-Michel...

-Goodbye ! -Goodbye !

-Goodbye, Michel.

Uh ... Well, are we going?

-Go! - Let's go!

Tears.

...

-Rose ?

- Here we come to the tractor cafe.

- "Coffee tractor"? -Yes. If you want coffee ...

-When were the first elections to the European Parliament?

-It was in 195 ...

-1979. -Yeah, 1979.

-How many stars are there on the European flag?

-There are ... There are 28. It makes sense, doesn't it?

-12.

You know why, at least? -Oh, I'm good ! Drop it !

And if not, is it true that you don't pay taxes?

-Not at all, it's not true.

Here we come to ... This is where they do the interviews,

this is the TV set.

-Is it live there for now? -Yes, it's live.

Hush, please.

We arrive in the hemicycle. We stay together,

and, if possible, silent.

Well...

It's closed.

I don't know, I sent an email this morning ... They shouldn't have received the thing.

- Are we kidding us? -I do not understand...

-We traveled 400 kilometers to get here.

-I understand, it's unacceptable ...

I agree with you, it's a scandal ...

But it's always the same, anyway. -We don't give a damn about people like us!

- Go ask!

-I know who I'm going to vote for

in the next election! -There may have been an oversight ...

I don't know, error is human.

-How did that, "there was"?

-I forgot to send an email. -So it's your fault, what.

-No ... -No!

-No. Finally ... -So why you put

responsibility for the European Union?

-I'm sorry. I shouldn't have, that's it.

All governments have been doing this for 30 years, I figured that ...

Look, I'm really sorry,

I have a report to go to committee this morning ...

-A report about what? -What is it, as a report?

-It's complicated ... It's a report. -Yes, we're too stupid, right?

-Not at all ! Look, I'm not getting involved in your excursions, me!

Oh fuck...

She is killing me

my amendment, that's it!

-Who is she ?

-It's Ingeborg Vogtmeier, she's a German political adviser.

-It's against the Germans

are you making your amendment? -No...

-It will put German interests ahead of those of France!

-No, that's not it ... -It seems that it works like that, here!

-How can we help you, Samy?

-How can we do to help you? Tell us !

-Go! Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop!

Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop!

Yes !

(Eh! Samy!)

(Come quickly! Quick!)

(Samy!) - (Yeah?)

- (We arrived just in time to see the German come out of the office there!)

- (Over there?) - (Yes.)

(Over there.)

(I think it's ... It's not that one.)

(It's not this one, I think it's the next one.)

-(Okay.)

(Is it there?) - (Yes!)

-Sanchez! Oh damn ... - (Who is that?)

-He is a Spanish curator. -They are also against us,

the Spaniards ?

-It is true ?

-Yeah. -Oh shit !

-So you say that Ingeborg did not come to see you?

-Non.

-You're sure ? Didn't she go talk to your MP?

-Non.

-But how can you be 100% sure? -Because I know where my MP is

and what it does at any time, any time of the day.

-Is that so ? -Hm.

-You know what he's doing there? -He has problems

with his mail application on his phone

and it will land in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

In Spanish.

...

-Bye. -Hm.

-Base !

You have to keep an eye on them,

otherwise they do anything.

And you ? Do you know where your member is?

-Michel? Yeah, he's working.

-Pom-pom-pom -pom-pom-pom-pom-pom-pom

Pom-pom-pom.

Sluuuuuuuurp.

-Il bosse? -HM.

-That's right. -Yeah.

-Something else ?

-No thanks.

-So ?

-I do not understand. He says that Ingeborg hasn't come to see them.

Yeah, I feel like he's walking around. -But it's not possible !

Do not let yourself go!

-Sorry, excuse me. Sorry.

In Spanish.

-What are you doing ?

Eh oh !

Oh !

No, that ...

There is no point in following it!

It's not possible !

It's no use ! (Come back, please!)

(Please !)

It's not possible !

No but it was not true,

the thing between France and Germany!

It was bullshit!

-Hold me that, please.

-It's because I have tachycardia, so ...

-But so it has nothing to do

with France, your thing? -But leave it a little, you want!

-We still have the right to know!

Is all this just for shark shit?

But still, it's not a subject, Samy, sharks! Nobody cares !

-I feel myself leaving! I feel myself leaving! -Why don't you rather

something about migrants? Or diesel, rather!

-But it's not that, his problem!

It's not a subject story!

His real problem is that he is not endearing, that's it!

It is important to be endearing.

-When even, with my awkward side, I am endearing!

-No, not endearing.

-Yes, because you smile all the time, but you can feel that it's not sincere.

-Good, come on, that's enough, now!

I don't have time for your stuff, I have a report to vote on,

so you allow ... -It's postponed, the vote on your report,

no need to smoke! -What?

-But you really take us for nozzles!

I taught Spanish for 25 years, young man ...

In Spanish.

...

-So ?

-I understand nothing !

Can't you translate me, please?

-If I translate for you, you will never make progress!

"Postponing the enmienda", what does that mean?

-Report ... -Report ...

-L'am...

-The amendment!

-When even! -And after,

What do they say ? -It's a little confused.

They say the President wants to return the report

to a commission.

-Oh the bastard!

-What does it mean ? -This is...

No but it's super complicated, forget it ...

In fact, they want to send the report back to the Commission,

it is a way of not passing it to committee.

In fact,

there is the European Commission, the one we often hear about

because we blame him for all the problems of the continent,

and there are the parliamentary committees in which the deputies work.

-Hm hm ...

-I told you, huh!

Door.

-Hello !

Hey man !

"Hey man", "Eamon"...

It's a little...

It will ?

It doesn't seem to be going.

-The President ... Eight minutes he should be there!

I can not reach him.

-Ah darn !

-Sorry, excuse me.

Pardon.

-And ... How are we going to do it? What is the procedure, suddenly?

-And in principle,

in the absence of the President, I ...

Oh dear !

-What? -In principle,

the rules of procedure provide that a vice-president replaces him,

and today there is only one vice president present.

-Well great! The vice-president vice-president, we vote, and then it's done!

Who's the vice president?

-What?

-Hello ! -Hello !

-Sorry. Excuse me.

-Hello ! -Ah, you're back!

-Which floor ?

Tap.

-Repeat after me...

"Dear colleagues, we are going to vote on my report."

*-Dear colleagues...

* We will vote on my report.

- "We will start with amendment 1."

* -We will start with amendment 1.

- "Who is in favor?"

-Who, what ? - "Who is in favor?" "Who is in favor?"

* -Who is in favor?

*Very good.

- "Who is against?"

* -Who is against? Obviously.

* And abstentions?

*Perfect.

-Sorry. -Pardon.

This is a bit annoying ...

-Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

- "Compromise F."

-No, we removed it, that one.

-How did that, "We pulled it out"?

-We removed it, that's all ...

* So let's go, dear colleagues!

* We are voting on the text

* as amended.

* Who is for?

* Who is against?

*Abstentions ?

* The report is adopted.

-Yes !

-Whore ! Michel?

We did not withdraw compromise F from the report, there?

The one we negotiated on finning.

-Bah yes, yes!

-Wait. We did not vote there? -No !

-But why ?

-It's him

who came to me to ask me.

-But why did you do it?

-Bah ... you're friends, right? You are always stuck together!

He told me he was just getting the message out.

-The cow, damn ... -Great!

-Wait, there ... Because I'm on a heavy blow, there!

Damn, piss off ...

-Listen, Samy ...

You had a difficult quarter, but don't give up!

-It is true ! Because we really noticed a real effort today!

This is very promising for the future!

-Thanks, that's nice.

-Why don't you vote it directly in plenary,

your amendment? -No, it's not possible, that.

-Bah yes!

-Well no.

- "The competent committee or a political group or the 40 deputies

may table amendments for consideration in plenary. "

-Wait ... where did you find that?

-It is marked there! Article 156.

You can resubmit the amendment in plenary

if a group decides to table it

or if you get 40 MP signatures. -Yeah, it's written!

That's it yeah ! -Ah yes !

Well, it is not written that it will be easy ... -No.

But it is possible, what! -It is possible, yes!

-Do not rest on your laurels. -Yes...

-We agree. -Yes Yes !

-Yes, but hey ... -Yes, we agree.
