[upbeat music]

[in English] Well, you really didn't need

to take all that off, sir...

I know, man, but...

I hope I didn't shock anybody.

The thing is, I know you guys

are doing so much to keep us safe. It ain't easy.

It ain't.

We gotta help each other.

You've got this beautiful buttercup here,

a big beautiful Belgian waffle, this guy.

[chuckles]

I'm Leroy Sparks, here with EarthWatchers.

I don't know if my good friend Cornelius mentioned it...

-Mr Sparks? -Samy?

-Yes, that's me. -My man!

Pleased to meet you.

[laughs]

-Yeah. -Okay.

Sparks like lightning. Leroy like my first name.

All right.

Samy like Sam with a "y" at the end.

Oh, right, Samy. Yeah, I got it.

I used to have a teacher named Samy.

A woman?

Yeah. A beautiful biology teacher.

One of those who changes your life.

Most Samys are women, I don't know why.

-I don't know either. -This one.

[playful music]

Where does that go?

It's very confusing.

Oh, hang on!

There.

No.

[sighs]

Yes!

Do you think you'll stay in politics, Sharon?

Hello, Rose.

[scoffs]

I don't know.

I can't think what else to do, really.

Maybe campaign for the UK to stay

-out of the EU. -Or offer Stoke-on-Trent

-to leave the UK. -Yeah.

Maybe.

Maybe, Rose.

-Thank you, my love. -It's all right.

[slurps]

Ah!

Woo!

Man, it is good to be back here.

Yeah, man, breathe it in.

[inhales deeply]

Come on, breathe it in.

[exhales]

This place is magic.

EP is the best NGO I've collaborated with.

-Really? -Yeah.

I call this area here the Wild West Wing

cos I'm telling you, man,

things just move so fucking fast here.

[chuckles] No, they don't.

It's like the United Nations on speed or on acid.

-No, it's not. -It's like...

Cavalier attitude, gut feeling and a sprinkle of batshit crazy.

-You two have met. -This guy!

-How you doing, man? -I'm great.

[chuckling]

It's good to see you, man.

-Yeah, it's good. -This Dutch piece of crap.

How's life?

Saved the planet, yet?

Yeah... No! [laughs]

But with you on my team, how can I fail?

Oh, man, it is an honor. It is a fucking honor.

EarthWatchers will do everything we can to make this thing right.

-We're very happy to... -This guy is beautiful.

Speaking of good man, this guy,

he has been showing me the ropes

and you've got yourself a top dog.

[chuckles]

You do.

Come on, take it. Take the compliment.

-Good work, Samy. -Oh, thanks.

-I'll let you two work on it. -Yeah.

If anyone knows how to raise

the public profile on an issue, it's Leroy.

-Thanks, man. -We'll catch you at lunch.

See you later.

Thanks, man. You didn't have to say that. It's very nice.

Oh, but I did, man.

When you meet people in this world,

you've got two options.

Two.

You can raise them up

or you push them down.

I look at you and I'm like:

-you're a good man. -Really?

-You can feel it. Of course. -Really?

-"Really"? You're a good man. -I guess.

-Yeah, say it: I'm a good man. -I'm a good man.

[quirky music] I'm a good fucking man.

I've never actually asked you,

what did you do before this?

God, it was so many years ago.

You could say I ran a small business.

Oh, cool. What did the business do?

Oh, well...

We actually staged

sporting events.

Really? What kind of sporting events?

Just small things, really.

You know, sort of... basement stuff.

What do you mean by "basement stuff"?

Good girl.

I wouldn't really know

because I was sort of on the business side.

It was my...

I didn't really actually get involved.

You wouldn't know what was happening in the base...

Whose basement...?

What are you talking about, Sharon?

I would just wipe up afterward.

It was my husband's business, you know.

I have about 18 questions.

I'm gonna go with:

Husband?

Well... [laughs]

-We're separated, of course. -Right.

Not officially, but we never spoke about it.

I got the job here and he stayed in Stoke.

We shook hands

and one month led to two,

two led to three, three led to four,

and, after that, we thought,

"No, it's just not working."

Yeah. It seems silly to say

we're still together, doesn't it?

Oh, yes!

[dramatic music]

Right now, there are more people on Facebook

than there were on the planet 200 years ago.

Humanity's greatest desire is to belong and to connect.

Every single human came to the world the same way.

-[laughs] This lady... -Yeah.

And we all wonder:

for what purpose?

-Giving birth... -Yeah.

My name is Leroy Sparks.

Beautiful.

And this is my son,

Rainbow.

-Rainbow? -My son, Rainbow.

Is that a real name?

Look at him on the trampoline. We did this about ten times.

He was so scared.

It's good, but do you mention sharks at any point?

I mean, you know...

If you start seeing sharks,

it will make people think about sharks.

Yeah.

But isn't that a good thing?

.. not just the bits of it that the fishermen leave behind.

[tragic music]

[groans]

That's a very sharp change of tone.

Don't see the who you wouldn't. Be the how you've seen.

What does it mean exactly?

Save the sharks.

Yeah.

[in French]

[in English] It's okay.

It's meant to be strong.

[in French]

[in English] Yeah.

I guess it works, then.

It moves me, every time.

You need to watch it again.

Maybe I should watch it again.

[phone vibrates]

[sighs]

Can I ask?

When was the last time you saw each other?

Oh, um...

March. Yeah, it was March.

No, it was February.

February 2012. [chuckles]

11!

Sorry, I tell a lie. That's right, 2011.

You know me, Rose. I'm married...

to my work.

Actually, while I remember,

can you please cancel my meetings tomorrow?

You didn't have any meetings.

Excellent! I'm going to see Cats.

-Are you? -Yeah, in the evening.

I don't think I'll have the mental space

to do any work during the day.

Right, yeah.

Oh!

Yeah, Eureka! Good on you. Snap, Sharon!

That's done. It took a long time, actually.

It was 50 pieces.

-Time to start the next one. -Yeah.

I might try 70 pieces now.

[lively music]

[moans]

How long have you been here, Samy?

A few months.

[chuckles]

-You like it? -Yeah.

[phone chimes]

Yeah...

I like some parts.

[chuckling]

[clears throat]

You know how I got this job?

No.

I walked straight into the Washington headquarters

past security, into the CEO's office,

I looked at him and I said,

"We're gonna need two chairs, padre."

[laughing]

I had never met him before that day.

Really?

True story.

We've been partners for fifteen years.

Wow!

There's a lesson in that.

Yeah?

It's important.

If you want your life to change,

you gotta change your life.

Yeah.

If you start talking to the world,

I promise it will learn to listen.

It'll be okay. Three-pointer.

[laughs]

Nice!

-So, you're a corner pisser? -Yeah.

You piss in the corner. I'm sure your dick's big.

[dramatic music] Right now,

there are more people on Facebook,

than there were on the planet 200 years ago.

Humanity's greatest desire is to belong and to connect.

Every single human came to the world the same way.

I want you.

Sorry?

Did you say something?

I did, yeah, but it was nonsense,

it was a joke about someone else.

I didn't say anything.

My name is Leroy Sparks.

-What does that even mean? -This is my son...

Literally nothing, I think. It's just...

It's amazing, right? So weird.

Everything this Leroy guy says

is stupid, but it makes you feel great.

He's like a real-life TED talk.

Yeah. He's American.

They're fun to be around, but that positivity is toxic.

Yeah, but still, it seems to work.

Cornelius said the campaign is already a success.

-Really? -Yeah.

[sighs]

[phone vibrates]

[scoffs]

-What's wrong? -Nothing.

[clears throat]

You can talk to me. We're friends.

Yeah, sort of.

Thank you.

[sighs]

-Should I break up with Sayeed? -Yes.

Whoa! Okay.

That's quick. Sure you don't want to think about it?

No.

You've mentioned it already.

[scoffs]

I think you should be out there, dating, living the crazy life.

Sometimes,

if you want your life to change,

you just have to change your life.

-"Be the how you've seen." -Exactly.

.. not just the bits of it that the fishermen leave behind.

[ominous music]

Hey.

What are you doing tomorrow night?

Why?

I was wondering...

I actually want you and me...

[applauding and cheering]

What do you guys think?

It gets you right here.

Every time I watch it, I bleed a bit on the inside.

But it's important.

Mama Ocean is bleeding.

We must fix that. That's what we're here for.

In just four short hours, 200,000 folks,

just like me, and just like you guys,

have raised up their voices.

We can do better.

We must do better.

We can, we must

and we will do better.

I've got an idea for you.

If we share this video and you support this worthy cause

I'm gonna do something real special for you.

For one lucky Facebook account owner,

I'm gonna throw in

three days

and two nights

on my pirate ship chasing bad guys!

Woo!

[applauding]

Do it with me!

Yeah? I thought you guys would like that.

[upbeat music]

[dramatic music] My name is Leroy Sparks.

[whispering]

And this is my son,

Rainbow.

[in German]

[laughs]

[chuckles]

[sighs]

[inhales deeply]

[sighing]

[grumbles]

[grunting]

[groaning]

[in English] Oh, man!

That's so sad!

-Look at you, man. You okay? -No.

[retreating footsteps]

[door closes]

[phone chimes]

[in English] Sayeed again?

No, it's Sharon.

She keeps texting me quotes from Cats, the musical.

-Yeah. -It's very confusing.

-You want to see something cool? -Yeah...

No!

[laughs]

-I'm kidding. -No, it's a no!

Ta-da!

Oh, wow.

What are you wowing at? I don' think you've seen the...

Oh, man. Marco. Polo.

-Sambo. Marco. Polo. -Yeah.

Fish out of water.

[chuckling]

-You don't know that game? -No.

Who's this lovely lady?

[giggles]

-Hi, it's... -Sorry, I'm all sweaty.

No, it's great.

To meet you.

Rose is me.

Nice to meet you, Rose. Enchanté.

I'm British.

That's all right, innit?

You want some chips and some milk?

[laughing]

Oh, man. I love that accent. Beautiful. Hugh Grant.

Look, Sambo, I've got that dinner tonight with Bono.

Yeah.

I'm trying to get him to tweet about the sharks.

I was wondering if we can swap shirts?

Why?

I gave mine away to some woman. She was insisting so much.

We can maybe borrow someone else's shirt.

No, we're good. I appreciate it.

[grunts]

How far is Saint-Gilles from here?

Saint-Gilles is... Actually, my apartment is near there.

So, we can split a cab, maybe.

I'm going that way too.

Why? You live in Michel's office.

No, but, I'm...

Can you pass me the shirt, please?

Yeah.

I'm going to see

a concert, with Toto.

-What concert? -Cats.

-The musical. -Cats, the musical, tonight?

Yeah.

That's just a coincidence

that I mentioned that a few minutes ago?

Yeah.

-What are you doing? -What?

-I'm going to a concert. -You're not!

-Yeah. -We're just finished.

[chuckles]

It's all that shark riling.

I've still got the gut.

I want to introduce you to someone from the motherland.

We got Rose here.

Bono, Rose.

Hello, it's Rose.

-Hello, Bono. -And Samy.

[playful music]

So, they are the best tacos in town.

You'll love them.

He knows the story. I was saying...

You'll love it.

You've got the sunset, a whisky sour in one hand,

oysters, fresh out of the sea, sunset.

Where are you going with Bono tonight?

I didn't tell you?

-You okay, Sambo? -I'm good.

So, I'm taking B-Man

to this amazing tapas place run by these three Italian uncles.

Who are they the uncles of? Uncles of the same person

or just three men who also happen to be uncles?

I don't know, good question.

-Isn't that amazing? -Three uncles, so authentic.

-It's just famiglia. -How did they meet?

I don't know. I think they probably met playing bocce ball.

Tapas...

[in French]

[in English] He cannot take

three passengers, so...

Maybe Leroy you can take another cab and Rose...

You should get another car if you're going to Palais 12.

No, because of the traffic, it's not really...

If you're going to the Palais 12,

I should take the handsome American man

and the beautiful lady.

You can take the subway, it's quicker.

I'm not American, people get confused because of my accent.

Oh, man. Bono just canceled.

Too bad.

We three could take the reservation instead,

but you have that musical.

The musical?

-Rose, you wanna go? -Fine by me.

No, I don't actually have to go to the musical.

-Dinner is okay. -You were looking forward to it.

It's just...

You're not dressed for it, dude. It's a fancy place.

-Just go. -Yeah.

-That's a musical. -Such good songs. Memory, right?

-Rembrandt, Vivaldi. -Mr Mistoffelees. They're cats.

You love cats.

Have fun.

[in French]

[instrumental music]

[in English] Hey, man.

I need to talk to you about something.

Yeah.

Okay, first,

Have you seen Cats, the Musical?

Yes.

Of course, I've seen it. How can I help you?

I've checked on Wikipedia.

I don't get it, it makes no sense.

-What's the story? -Of course. Okay.

There's one cat.

He comes on stage.

And then he sings his name.

And then he sings about

one of his characteristics, you know?

Then he leaves,

and another cat comes on stage.

And then she sings about

what she likes and what she does.

-Yeah. -Okay.

Has it anything to do with what the previous cat did?

No. I don't think it does.

I think it's really just, like...

It's kind of...

It's a list of cats and their characteristics?

-Yeah. -Okay, all right.

[chuckles]

But they're not real cats.

Right, yeah.

Oh, shit.

Does it look like she had sex last night?

I can't judge that just by looking at her, man.

Yeah, of course not.

I need to smell her.

Oh, God.

-Okay, I'll see you later. -Okay.

Okay.

Hey, hi! Rose.

We arrive at the same time!

Time twins.

Don't do this!

[sighing]

So much rain!

How was last night?

-Really good. -Yeah?

-Yeah, really, really good. -Yeah?

[yawns]

-Are you tired? -I didn't sleep much.

-How was Cats? -It was good.

Very good story, actually.

How was dinner with Leroy?

Nice. Good restaurant.

The American positivity didn't bother you so much in the end?

[chuckles] No, it's not like we're gonna do it again.

Do it again? Do what again?

Dinner? You say do for dinner?

[quirky music]

Okay, right. I know this isn't necessarily typical of me,

but...

I wanna say thank you.

Okay.

Because I ended things with Sayeed.

-Really? -So...

I think if it wasn't for you, I might not have done that so...

-So, yeah. -Well.

You're welcome.

Plus, I wouldn't have had such a great night.

-That's down to you, pal. -Cool.

-Very cool. -Samy, I can't say.

Don't smell her, okay?

Sorry, he...

Leroy gave me this to give back to you this morning.

He says bye.

Thanks again.

Yeah.

Okay. I think she did do it, man.

Can I keep it?

Just for reference.

I'll see you at lunch, yeah.
