Original subtitles

-Michel, when you call me from Oceania, I pay too!

No no...

No, but the Commonwealth has nothing to do with it!

It's overtaxed anyway, what!

Well no, so we don't remember, suddenly.

See you soon.

Thank you, Michel. Goodbye !

Ah !

Oh fuck !

-Whore !

-"Mom I missed the plane" ?

-Bingo !

-You see ? Pascal...

She seems a little sick to me.

-Do not talk to him! Talk to him ! -Talk to him ?

Like in Parliament? Lots of words and lots of patience.

Someone knocked. Yes ?

Pascal, thank you! - Hi, Cornelius!

(Like that. Yes.)

OK...

OK. Thank you.

-Oh !

Hello. -Hello.

-Sorry ! Excuse me.

Hello !

-Oh, Samy !

How are you ? -I'm fine and you ?

-Thank you I'm okay. -Okay.

- Sit down.

-Thank you.

- I understand that this story of finning

continue to worry you? -Yeah yeah.

Yeah, downright.

What's the matter ?

It's weird

when you ... smile, actually.

-My mother says the same.

She thinks it makes me look

of a porcelain doll possessed by the devil.

-She looked nice!

Your mother, she ...

-Tell me, Samy ... -Yes?

-Do you prefer that smile?

Or this one?

Or that one, maybe?

-It's ... I ... -You see, that shark?

Do you feel it surrounding us?

You hear their jaws of lie

and resentment slamming against our legs?

Here is the shark

that it is urgent to harpoon.

-But precisely,

it is an amendment to protect sharks, in fact.

-It was a metaphor.

-Yeah, okay, OK. I see what it is, a metaphor.

-Samy, to form a group in Parliament,

25 elected representatives from at least 7 member countries are needed.

Without group,

you don't exist in Brussels.

-Okay.

-I want to change the rules of procedure:

increase to 10 the number of countries necessary to form a group,

and thus block this path for nationalist parties

who hate each other

and have the greatest difficulty in joining forces.

And for that, I'm going to need the Spaniards with me.

Do you understand ?

-Yes. Yeah...

-Are you sure ? Do you want me to explain again?

-I'm ok thanks...

You used me to blackmail the Spanish

because you want to change the rules of parliament

to prevent the populists from allying with each other ...

What's the matter ?

-It's cute when you say it with your children's words.

-I don't understand why you don't want to play the game of democracy

and go and beat them

on the ground of ideas in elections! -Samy ...

Did you follow the last elections?

Have you been to England recently? -No.

-It feels like Venezuela, but with a time of toilets!

Is this what you want

for Europe?

We don't play fair play with these people.

Be proud of yourself!

You contributed to the fight against the forces

obscurantism.

Your contribution will have been decisive!

Sharks are important.

But politics is also the hierarchy of battles.

-Hm ...

You're still smiling there ...

-Hm ... -Yeah .

-It hurts, in addition ...

-It's the lack of practice, maybe ...

I'm hungry like a wolf! What do we...

They make fish here? I have a small...

-I was glad to have this discussion with you, Samy.

OK !

Thank you very much !

-It was a pleasure.

-Yeah!

Goodbye !

I'm not going...

-Oh! It will ?

-Samy!

How are you, old man? -No ! We're not friends, you and me. OK ?

-Why ? -Because you tried to fuck me

my first day with your pro-fishing amendments!

-I don't think I fucked you ...

Besides, the people I fuck are always very grateful.

It seems that you have insured like a chef with your amendment on sharks.

Not bad ! Well done ! -I don't know. It's possible, yeah ...

-Everybody talks about it !

Ils t'appellent "Samy the shark",

"Samy lo squalo"...

-It is true ? -Hm hm!

-No, it's exaggerated.

-And when will it be voted?

-Never, we will kill him.

-Why ?

-Because the stakes are more complex than they seem at first glance, OK?

-What does it mean ?

- It means ... It's parliamentary cuisine, that's it.

- "Cuisine parlem ..." And what is on the menu?

Are your balls seasoned with your convictions?

-Torsten, not! Not !

-So you're going to drop the sharks.

-Hm ...

-Because of more complex political issues. -Here.

-Here...

Let me guess ... Refugees?

No, the rise of populism?

The multi-year budget!

-Populism. -Populism ...

-But you know, it's important, the hierarchy of fights!

-You really don't understand how it works here, do you?

How is it that sharks pay for the rise of populism?

I don't understand, really!

The only reason is that you gave in. And why ? For a free lunch?

Samy ...

In this story,

sharks are tricked for one reason:

is that they don't vote.

And I thought it became your mission

to protect them, I thought it was cool!

-Why you gave me rotten amendments

if you find it so cool?

-But because me, it's my mission to defend the fishermen, right?

They have the right to be defended! This is very good!

We are here to negotiate between competing interests.

You, your sharks. I, the fishermen.

It's our job! And that's very good!

Except that me ...

I don't give up on my fishermen.

-It's boring! -What?

-Bah ... Because I feel like you're right,

but I can't admit it because of what it implies, that's it ...

-Samy ...

It's called "parliamentary democracy".

You see, it's not the most popular diet right now.

But this story of complex political issues,

really, this is bullshit.

It's quite the opposite, it's very simple!

If you don't defend sharks, no one is going to do it.

Got it?

-Hm ...

I got it...

Understood understood...

-Rose ?

Rose ! Rose ! -No !

-Oh fuck !

No no no !

Someone there ?

Awesome !

Rose ?

-Hello.

Eamon ?

Do you think

that I should fight for a cause that I think is right

but that everyone finds anecdotal,

or I leave it

so as not to compromise a broader and probably more urgent fight ?

-Who told you about this terrace?

- Compared to the amendment on finning ...

In fact, the question is: does democracy come down to

to the peaceful competition of special interests,

or does everyone have to project themselves into a certain idea of ​​the general interest,

and, if so, which one?

-I found this quiet place ...

Isolated...

To refocus myself.

-Yeah...

You think I'm veiling my face, right ?

I choose the facility by giving in to Ingeborg,

when I should defend my own convictions ...

-I'll have to find another place, I imagine ...

Samy?

-I will make him vote.

Yeah.

I will fight to the end for the sharks!

And even if I am the only one to believe it!

-Okay.

Samy ...

I have to close this door behind me. You come back ?

Are you planning to spend the day here?

-I thought you were going to say something encouraging ...

-Ah...

-Thank you.

But you know they call me "Samy the shark?"

-"Samy the shark" ? -Ouais !

-Who ? -No but there are lots of people!

Lots of people ! There are Italians, Spaniards ...

I don't know who exactly, huh.

You do not believe me ?
