I loved sophisticated pictures

Dinner's ready!

had started so well;

the mood was good,
the dj excellent

pleasant temperature,
superb girls,

alcohol a gogo,
drugs of quality,

were really successfull

my open ended job
is copywriter

and slogans for posters

I say "slogan"
for you to understand

ohhh, nevermind...

It's Marc Maronnier,
my creative director

after Philippe, the president,

he is the most important
man of the company

- hi

- hi, how are you?

- I just spent the week-end
with my man

four days in Cabourg

I'm so happy!
- oh yeah?!

- ... A charming little corner

so romantic,
we landed up there,

we digged it so much...

it was great,
I'm so peachy!

- you're fired, take your stuff
right now and beat it!

I am not joking

Marc is like that, for 10 years
he has taught me everything

Allright you stay,

and your out of date language

"we digged it, it was awesome,
we got a kick out "

avo

it's disgusting me

and you spend this week-end here,
I want a balance for Tuesday

- Yes Mr Maronnier

- Ok, it's cool, you
can call me Marc

- he is a genius
- you're ok?

you're ready for this afternoon
presentation for Madone?

- yeah, we hold something
- I won't be there

Jeff will be
- wait, jeff...

- that's the way it is!

I rely on you?

- yeah, so, I rely on myself...

- you adore me?!

creative is not such an easy job,
and that's also why we're so well-paid

to shut us up, you won't
believe me, but

money is not the only reason
I choose that job

I was 17 and a half
when I had my first "ad-shock"

I knew it was what
I wanted to do

I went to the cin

Some of its were little
treasure of ingenuity

This day I decided
to become publicist

and I succeeded

Here, at 14th floor
is my office

near the radiator,
it's Cuddly

a blond hamster, picked up
on a filming shoot

and next to it,
this retarded teenager,

he's my Charly

he's mine

he's my partner

he is artistic director, my D.A.

or A.D., "Art Director"

As we say in the profession,
because it makes more like American

Hello Thierry, it's Charly,
Hello, sorry to disturb you,

I'm embarrassed with an email
I received, the one with the eel...

the moray eel... sorry

I don't see, it's a guy or
a wench it's fucking with?

I thought it was a guy...

it's bad...

oh, you're working now...

As every creative of every company
of the world, my Charly spend 89%

of his working time sharing
trash pictures via internet

there, he comes out of a great
"Japanese vomit eater" period

- Charly
- Yes Octave

- If I told you, I have the vague feeling
to blow a fuse towards myself

what would you say?

- Wait, wait, are you telling
me this here?

- Yeah I tell you

- Ok then, tell me,
I am listening to you

- I simply have the vague feeling
to blow a fuse towards myself

yeah, of course

- allright, I understand you completly,
I'd like to tell you many things

- So come on, come on...

- Did you snort, with someone else?

- No I would never do this to you

- So this is me you...

you are provocating me!

- I said nothing, stop, stop

Oh yeah insult me in Deutsh

come on, punish me!

- Guys, we're waiting for you, on the stage,
for the shooting in Boulogne...

- Yeah, we're coming, we finish, we go...

- A masterpiece!

- Someone told Steven it's
an ad for sauerkraut?

- Don't know, I really have a doubt

- please go and see him!

- no you!
- no you!

you it's good...
- what a bitch that guy

- like that, yes. You detest me,
despise me with your mouth...

- Steve... Can I talk to you
just 2 seconds...

sorry

It's super good, super glamour,
super sensual...

but just could you
square me a plan

cause, i have more options
to make it more classical,

more neutral, you see,
it's not Aubade...

it's sauerkraut...

- Sauerkraut, it's what you want?

- No, but it's good!

- Turn on the radio!

move, come on move!

there...
Who's that?

- ooh, it's Jeff
- hi guys, all is right?

- Be careful, you got a
dropping piece of fabric

- Sorry I don't feel like kidding

You're ready for "Starlight"?

- that's it!
- that's it, I told you earlier

- No it's me, I told you

- Ok ok allright,

I don't want to put
pressure on you,

but currently it's super hot
with Madone...

- Yeah, Starlight is yet in linear...

What!? I'll call her back...

You don't seem to realize

tought it's normal...
You're artists

but Madone it's 39%
of the Ross sales, so...

fuck! I gonna spit
on your mug!

I told you, I'll see
that later...

Jeff always own
the new rubbish gadget

for example, his telephone
is built in his earphone

the whole stuff permanently
linked to his secretary

- this bitch bugs me,
here it's my cellphone

with that I'm permanently linked to her,
so I always know everything

It's very expensive
and it drives mad

What I was saying?

It Stinks sauerkraut
of shit here, no?

- Jeff, let me introduce you to
Sir who produces that sauerkraut.

- oh yes, Jean-pierre Rannu:
Jean-fran

Jean-fran

- Sir Rannu, really,
I'm deeply sorry, but...

you know, we have so much stress
with this job, we need to relax...

- Forget it,
that's the floor manager...

- Beat it!

What Jeff doesn't say,
that it's the 12th

the 15th he will receive the evaluation
report of his work filled by his customer

That's to say by Madone

a sort of school report
notebook for adult

so he freaks out, normal
it's meant for it

but it doesn't matter
that's cool,

moreover at the Ross everything
is cool... Even the sauerkraut

the Madone executive
would dig to be... cool

not easy to tumble in
schizophrenic land

when your name is Jean Christian Gagnant
and got initials engraved on your briefcase

for example, to him this morning
must have been a nightmare

In Madone every product manager
wear short-sleeved shirts...

- Have you received
my confirmation e-mail?

...and neckties with
little animals on it

You have received
my confirmation mail?

To a product manager,
looking cool is hyper important

we shall never forget
a customer has no ideas

and that's why he comes
to our advertising company

- that don't fit,
fuck, fuck and fuck!

fuuuuuuuck!

in those days, giant pictures
were put on the walls,

on bus stops,
on trucks, on taxis

human eye had never been so much
solicited since its whole history

between birth and 18 years old,
we had calculated that each person

had been exposed to an
average of 350.000 ads

It had required 2.000 years
to come to it

- Gas Parengo
- Hello sir

- Charles Nagou, we come
for the Starlight meeting

- Allright you have an ID card?

- yes

- thanks

- We leave you the helmets

- Here are your badges,
1st floor, Veneziano room

- thanks

- You have some left

Always coming late to meetings,

a creative on time is not credible

Entering the room, where everybody's
waiting for him for 45 minutes,

he should by no means apologise

upon reflexion, it's true
this afternoon meeting

was even more important than an
interview with the head of the state

This meeting changed my life

I think originally, I wanted
to make good around me

It has not been possible,
for two reasons

because I've been prevented, and also
a bit because I have abdicated

- We're passing through a deep crisis
in the yoghurt world

you knows only too well,

since the mad-cow disease case,
yoghurt is world-threaten

in this eroding market, our
answer is the "Foodament"

the "Foodament" is a food
which would also be a medicament

and then, Starlight innovate and
focus on a white cheese's new vision

the "bodymading"

with Starlight, I eat smart, so I am
smart, so Starlight makes me smart

it's when we catch them

It's a bit "head to legs"

The Guy that don't laught
to Jeff's "no-joke"

is the one to be convinced,
Alfred Dul

scorpio ascendant ram,

director of marketing
at Madone fresh food division

suit: Hugo Boss, perfume: Hugo Boss
favorite poet: Hugo Boss

Doesn't touch his wife anymore
since 1993, vote Republican,

adore karting. At Madone and At Ross
he is feared and dread

- Yes, next

- Here why in this perspective...
of "bodymading"

Octave and Charly have worked
for several weeks

I hand over to Octave...

- Sorry, I don't know what happened,

I thought the meeting would
take place at the company

You have received
my confirmation e-mail?

- Gagnant, sit down

- Octave and Charly,
we're listening to you

- Right, before begining, I'd like
to dedicate this film to Tatiana

I've met her in disco, two
years ago, in Saint Barth'

thanks for her

- Please, a bit of concentration

Always begining by lightening
the atmosphere with a shitty joke

Drug helps you to gain
this nonchalance

this needed detachment to
survive that kind of meeting

We all want to change the world,
and in taking part in these meetings

I'm aware of collaborating

being sit down at this table
is taking part in deadening people's mind

To succeed, it needed
a sacrifice

but I was doubting of
being someday able of it

- Octave, you're high

Octave, you're high

- Yes... sorry

- He's on drugs

- A discovery?

- We're on a beach

- Yes, so, heavenly beach,
coco palms, turquoise sea,

white sand, the Eden

- Two women,

- Two bombs

- Of course

are running
on the sand

long focal length on
the young women

Pamela takes the floor

" Infact I consider the exegis of our
mastitis are facing criplling hermeneutics

Christina answers

Be carefull, Pamela, You're slowly
slipping to an ontological paronomasis

- Not at all, it's just
an allegorical solipsism,

nothing to do with it...
Just look

she bend over the equation

- I have made an equation
for you to understand

if we accept the hypothesis
X cube root

varies according to the infinite
- Ah ok

- You just have to
subdivide the set

which will tend
to the asymptote

exactly, it's good,
I've understood!

They leave laughting

Packshot: "Starlight to remain slim
except in your head"

- it's good?

- Absolutely

- Now I ask a question;
Why make humor?

- Yes, infact we though
it would be interesting...

- No, no, no, I say:
Why make humor?

- Because humour make
the brand friendly,

excellent for the
product memorization

customers remember easier,
what makes'em laugh

- Day after, people at office
recall the joke... at dinners

- No, no, no, why?

- For it, for you, think about comedies
that succeed, people going to the cine

They sometimes like
to have fun, people... No?

- Yes, except they don't
eat the reel after

Alfred Dul

come on Octave open your mouth,
once and for all, and shove off

" listen to me carrefully dumb shit,

when you go to the dentist,
you don't tell him how to do

you rely on him

Here it's the same:
You rely on us!

- So, you have something else?

We're off our rocker,
stop to shoot up, guys

Who do we sell the
yoghurt to, fuck?!

- The housewife

- The housewife, it's what?
you need to go out, guys!

the housewife is a tired good fellow,
she is in her suburb supermarket

her kids are bitching
in the caddie

her hands are full of shit,
she's blown-out

she has all a bunch of problems,
her husband boozes,

She doesn't feel like having an headache
with ironic references... nobody knows!

So, before thinking about your
4 friends in Paris you'll make laugh

I'm also a part of, time to time,
it makes me laugh your bullshits

Before that, you should ask yourself,
"what she wants to see our housewife?

what she wants to hear?
what does she want us to tell her?"

there, that's all!
that's the question

you should stop lying
to yourself, now...

- Really nice your
view of the world!

- Me, guys, I have 12.000 tons
of yoghurt to sell off this year,

so youth: ok
sexy: ok

and...?

and dream!

What the fuck, we are
dreams sellers!

yesterday, I went to see my goddaughter,
she had her dance show,

decors were painted by children...

I took off

I took off

My proper joint, Charly

So, I was wondering, dance, would there
be something to find around dance?

yoghurt, lightness, feminity,
... A danser wearing tutu?

no?

- yes

- no, no, we will find,
we will... huh guys

- still with your style,
humor, glamour,...

Now you know, you know why you're
watching ads of shit for some years

It's here, at this moment
that everything's tied up

creatives don't lack of ideas, behind
every shitty ad there's a good idea

thrown-up in the bin, just because everyone,
me included, shit on his pants

- Excuse-me

- You allright?

- no, no because I leave the Ross

I leave that pigsty

I stop working,
I get the system out,

I stop it all, I piss you off,
I despise you all

I give you my card back

of course it's not a resignation
it's a layoff, of course

you fire me, classic stuff;
indemnities, cash, golden parachute

big money, ok!?

- What happens to you Octave?

You've recently changed of drug?

- no, no

- ah, I see, you're writing a script
on a guy who drives on depression

ok, no it's good but it lakes of some...

no it's funny, you're still funny,
but I don't know, the guy...

...could loose everything,

he could become a shit

think about it

Octave I adore you,
you know it

YOU

Sophie has worked
at the Ross for 3 years,

she is a part-time planning
manager, Marc hired her

He has always
got good taste

No, no don't insist

make love in an elevator
with an intern, it's...

far too, "adrenalin" to me

even if I feel you're hot as hell

it's out of question!
negative!

I got a reputation to preserve,
you understand?

Here it's more in the mood,
dirty parking, shabby lights,

very Mike Lee...

we fancy it at this time

piss smell, the real one

What you will do, Sophie?
You'll take your lil'scooter in the rain

you'll regain your lil' husband,
watch the saturday night show?

That's it, the happiness
he offers you... That's it?

- I'm alone and I don't have TV

- ok, wait, wait, I know I am a
superficial and arrogant shit

ok I don't deny

But I like you, you understand?

your hair, your eyebrows,
your small intestine please me

even your rebuffs please me

- If my rebuffs please you...

- nobody, nobody
never please me

I'm sure if you let yourself being kissed,
it could be relavely... pleasant

It's really what I thought,
you're really a beautiful slut

- Wear it, wear it, so I can kiss
myself a little

Everything's allright,
everything's allright!

Hi, it's Sophie, leave me a message,
and I may call you back

Since Sophie left you,
you turn around your flat,

you no more
open your curtain,

You only use one
room out of nine

the microwaves rythm
your week-ends

you order your
ready-meals by phone

since you're living alone,
you fuck a lot of video-tapes

you always have pieces of kleenex
taped at your fingertips

Being without Sophie
made you ugly

Not only drugs cause
withdrawal

It was easier to have a single
retarded behaviour

when you knew Sophie
was lovely waiting for you

Since Sophie left you
nothing go round

when It was yet?

- it's going allright,
thanks a lot!

- stop it...

you've finished to eat?

- I can't with it... Like that I can,
with my hand

- I see that

- With that, I can't,
or otherwise if I sting

you see, if I sting...

- So you've finished now?

- yes

- So, I got a little
gift for you

Happy St. Valentine Day

Ah yeah, it was that day

- you're unfair, plus
we said no gifts

- But here, it's a litlle
bit more than that

- What, sorry?
lot more than that?

- Lot more...

- so, it's a surprise

I open it

It won't blow me in the...

here I go

It smells like pee-pee a bit

- It's a pregnancy test

positive

I'm pregnant by you

- Holy cow! It was hard

I spilled all my guts,
everything that every man

of the world says to their
pregnant girl, in those moments

- Sir, Madame
Have you finished?

- Yes it's over

- You don't want
a little dessert?

Sophie never told anyone
she was pregnant

except to you

Moreover, at the Ross, nobody
knew you were together

What is she doing?
Who is she phoning to?

Where is she when
she's not here?

Marc and Sophie, didn't fit together,
but they were well together

Which is lot more rare

They go to a full
of stars hotel,

three times per week,
at about 14h15

In order to have sex in
a clean and a central place

ouch, you're hurt

- Guys, fun's over, joke's over,
good mood's over, all it's game over

I am not joking here!

Dul

listen to me!

if we don't have a
new concrete script

before 14 o'clock,
we're all dead!

I tell you, in one hour,
we're all on the dole!

- It's hardly depressing in here,
it looks like 3 Ross' employees...

- President, it so kind to come
to see the small workers

- Hi youngsters!

- Tell me, Jeff, we've been phoned
by Dul

- Jean-Fran

- Precisely, we're in
the middle of a meeting

we're on a lot more
federative concept

we're at that stage

- Oh, really, we're
at that stage?

- We got your green
light, Marc?

- it's swotting? uh?

- it's swotting hard!
hey that's good...

- Hey Cuddly is not punchy...

- Stop with it, you idiot,
you gonna kill it,

stop doing that, it gonna
choke, I tell you

- Hey, we should already
be shooting, now!

and your bullshit!

Fuck, we are done now!

We loose Madone,
it's direct layoff...

But you don't give a fuck,
anyway, you'll always find a job

at least, move your ass
for the others!

i don't even
talk about me

anyway, I know you despise me,
you don't like me,

I'm just a little shitty
salesman, that's it?

Think about low wages,
small posts, they will pay the price

Jacqueline, at the accountancy,
with her handicapped kid

45 yo, you think
she will find a job?

She can still dream on!

...and Momo who clean your shit up
every evening, your coke, your porn mags

He also can still dream on!

Be humans, fuck!

of course, it feels weird to him,
realising he will shortly be homeless

J.- F. Marolle has been programmed
for a streetless existence

He has accepted to be insulted
and humiliated, during 15 years,

by his employers and his customers,
to be able to borrow money from Bank

in order to acquire a 3 rooms
in Levalois-Perret.

- that's fine, come on
we go, uh?

- ok

- come on, it's good, stand up

He freaks out so much, he would
almost become touching

- So... The last-minute dung, ok?

- absolutely

White's little shirt

She is on a beautiful
seaside house's terrace

decorated like in...

- "Friends"

- warm without being flashy

she looks at the camera,
she exclaims with a voice...

- suave but authentical...

- I'm pretty isn't it?

no, I'm told I'm pretty...

I'm said to be pretty,

- but I don't ask myself the question

- I'm quite simply myself!

She grabs a Starlight pot
she delicately opens

- Neither too fast nor to slow,

- before enjoying a spoonfull

- she closes her eyes with pleasure,
while enjoying the product

- that's good, hu

- in passing, 2 seconds
plan, at least...

- minimum, uh...

- then, she looks straight
to the camera:

"My secret it's...

- Starlight!

scuse me...

- Starlight...

- So there you put
the product demo...

with 6 white cheeses, fat-free,
with calcium, vitamins, proteins,

to be healthy in head and body
there's nothing better...

- They will adore...

- She resumes;

Here is my secret,

- but it's no more,
since I told you all!

- impish laugh,

- not too much...

- packshot, "Starlight to stay slim
except head inside "

- It's awesome;

guys you blew me away!

- it's in your email

- Dul

- You have no self-esteem,
I despise you, bite it

- They gonna go mad!

- Run away!

- Uh Charly, we gonna bugger
Madone once again...

What?! yeah
I'm coming, bitch...

- Go check your emails out

she's dead

- I'm daddy,
she's pregnant!

- it's not true!
It's working, it's true?

- You never thought being model?

- rather comedian, it's my dream

I do lots of castings, but
there are too many girls

I heard I'm too "exotic"

- If someday I hear of stuff, you'd like
me to pull the strings for you?

you know, I'm an
important person

- I'll make you 10%
on your blow jobs

That's true, to a professionnal like Tamara,
Octave is a puzzling customer,

he asks her to wear Obsession,
a Sophie's perfume

She appeases him

Tamara is the call-girl

- Have you seen a cute chick passing, here,
leaving from here, she was in yellow

- ah, ah, Eric has won the match!
- I scored 3 goals!

- Ok, it's over, you can leave, you can
stop, all is over, you can go back home,

All here don't exist!

Look at yourselves,

your aspect, your hairdos,
your white teeth, everything,

the blotch, here; dirt with
clean around, it doesn't exist,

nobody, blotch hiself like that,
you understand?

- Eric has won the match!

- Look at your mouthes,

You're overdub

You're not synchro, I am,
I've got a micro, you understand?

- Eric has won the match!
- I scored 3 goals!

- What match? Fuckin shit!
What match?

What sort of match? Foot,
tennis, waterpolo? What...?

Numbers of birds in here, it's crazy!

What's your alimentation like?

- A beautiful chocolate bar,
filled with good milk moss

for your growth

- Could you turn that
music off, it's a pain...

- You're walking on crosses,
This orange juice is fake,

this plate is glued, look,
there's a technician here, look

there are cameras everywhere!
look! look, go away...

ah yeah, look!
look!

what this rails here?!
we'll tumble down!

- Hello girls,
- Hello Jeff

Here, at the Ross and Witchcraft,
the customer is always right

and the customer is you

St

Yes, Jean-Christian,
how is the little family?

you'll always have
the last word

yes, I read your proposition,
It's really a great idea!

ah yes, it's terrific,
really, good bye!

See you wednesday!

Even if it's not your job,
we'll make you feel important

You won't come to us
by any chance

the World is a concept
and your concept we'll be ours

- It feels good

for my anus, I use R&W, "smell and flavour",
thereby, with one touch

I keep my anus and my breath fresh...

- It's charming... relax, try to
quiet down, it's gonna be allright

try to appease yourself,

I'm here, I'll be just behind
the ambulance...

- He's gonna die!
- it's ok, it's ok,

- He's gonna die!
- Go away, go away!

- Let him breath!
Here we go

- Prepare me some adrenalin,
- block, block

- Charge

- We're loosing him

Octave is back from the dead

To him, life without coca

It's a bit like a life
without Tv to others

Everything is slower,
and it quickly gets bored

He tells himself, maybe that's the secret
that would save the world:

accepting boredom

...Not easy...

Jeff never hold a grudge
towards him for the punch

finally, he's nice Jeff

- He looks fine, uh?
- not so much

- yes, he looks fine

Octave and Jeff could die together
it would be good for society

- Octave, you're ok?
You look really well today

it's a pleasure

- it's a pleasure to see you

I have something to tell you

- well, we'll talk in the car

- I take your bag

- him, the Octave's new friend
it's Pyjaman

Marc Maronnier is dead,
Octave and the other humans

from the agency were
shocked by Marc's Suicide

but to say his gesture
surprised them, would be a lie

- I was feeling it comes
- I didn't expected it at all

- I expected it, to speak positive things,
at Madone they are 100%...

At the agency upon Starlight,
everything's going as expected

the train of mediocrity,
hasn't run a minute late

rather, It has even got ahead;

page setting of the dung

presenting at Madone

appreciating at 200%

buying of even more
broadcasting spaces

congratulating

traiting genius

- Sophie, you have news?

- Precisely,
- She went away to Canada,

she has resigned

Marc were fired,
at the agency seminary,

on the beach, on sunset
he shot a bullet in his head

In advertising, when oneself join up
with spacetime's Matrix

there are no articles in the papers,
no half-mast posters,

no souvenir show,

only remains unsold stock options

when a publicist join up god,
he's replaced with an alive publicist

Marc, I'll avenge you

- watch out, it's fragile...

Arriving at the PPM,

PPM it means, in american,
Pre production Meeting

It's to say the last meeting where every
details are decided before the shooting

the meeting syndrome at the top

the one who's just 34 yo, and who
already speaks to herself

it's Fabienne, the tvprod

single under prozac,
she always do her best

it's tiring her enormously,
but so are we,

- Right, before starting that meeting,
I'd like us to have a touched thought

for Marc Maronnier, who left us
tragically some days ago

a though for the great professional
he was, but above all for the man

concerning the Jean Christian's
confirmation mail, shooting list precisions

It was phone contacts for the
shooting, everybody agree with it?

- It must be a yoghurt in the life

moreover, the laptop on the table idea
for the packshot it's perfect, it's modern

It makes it cash...
Giovanni what does he think about it?

- Giovanni M. Dul

Him, it's Giovanni Del Toro, he has
been chosen cause he is very pro

translate: he lay down face to the agency

- If everybody agree, we can
proceed to casting now, Charly...

Now at this moment, Customer
must choose the human being

who will better embody his product,
it's always a bit sensitive point

- There are our 2 choices
for the Starlight woman

Jennifer you can reach at 88-60-90

We love her, she is fresh,
she is modern

- What's that mess?
what's that black?

Jeff, restrain your guys, cause
we're again starting whatever off

scuse me, I'm not racist, but no...

at a pinch, the day we bring
a Starlight Chocolate out

why not, but here it's not my fault,
if our youghurt is white

Blacks it's too much segmenting

- it produces too much anxiety

- I'm ok to be open-minded,
but there are limits

- So we reach too much africanity,
not enought francity, we agree?

- too much africanity, not enought...
- africanity not enought francity,

- There, it's better, that's better,

it's even really good,

she is really good that Tarama...

- Tamara
- Yes, Trama...

- Superb, she's totally
in the brand values

- it's Madone proper picture

it's superb

- it's different?
- it's different,

Excuse me, she looks less
prostitute than the previous one

- that's right

- it's completely Starlight

- that's no more and no less than
Jennifer Lopez, more junior, more trendy

- It wouldn't be still
too much africanicity?

- You can brighten her face
a little, in post-prod?

- Completely, we'll rework the tone,
during the calibration, no problem

- Ok Bingo!
That's her

- So, we optionalize it

The meeting lasted 7 hours,
7 hours of jerk-off

with some piece of bravery...

- Gagnant, anything else?

- Eh, yes, important,

- I'd like us to validate the
green density of the lawn, now

Well in brief, it's bootlickin'
it's titillating, it's nit-picking

it's diddling at night,
as usually,

and during hours...
- up, up, down,

right, right, up, up, up,...

It looks like if it were nothing,
that small meeting, to you,

completely surrealist and entertaining

and yet...

- It's not for you, there will
be chocolate, after and before

- not a custard tart!
- it will be after

- Chocolate mousse!
- Stop it kids, stop it,

that's enough kids!

Pay cheaper, cheaper,
it's cheaper for you

- Validated, perfect!

- I think we're totally focused, here
- 7 hours meeting, I think we did a good job

- I personally really enjoyed myself,
- good, there will be fewer

- really, really good meeting, Corinne,
I like a lot your work

- No but my name is Fabienne,
- Welcome at the Ross

- I'm working here for 5 years

- Look at this! Octave is
already set to go to Miami

He has yet his little bag,
bloody Octave!

- Tamara it's really good, honestly,
come on spit!

there, softly...

- Still respect yourself...

it's really good,

but just a little bit
greedier, please,

offer us it, give it to me, greedier,

think about closing your eyes
when swallowing, ok?

- yes,

- One has to feel the
pleasure in your throat

come on, act it for me,

right, cloose you eyes
while swallowing

you take your time,

that was good
what you did in the end

really good, more smiley
at the end than at the start

that's the product benefit, that make
you fresh, happy and blooming, ok?

We're here, we rule,
of course you keep, interior,

but you give to the other, you rule,
you take, without never...

because otherwise we are...
but, rise the product up

there, mysterious, that's right
look at the product, look at us

and offer Starlight!

there that's it!
we do it again

- it's really...

- It's good?
- Huge, nothing to do...

don't you think?
- superb

It was the last take of the day,

and the more important for an ad film;
the packshot

hours of lighting, each minor details
matters, yoghurt choice, the spoon,

In fact the jerk-off Everest

- Best thing is to do a balled up
on Starlight, I think...

- It's really well done!

- All right
- No that's shit and you know it,

you see the two fuckers, there?

- I've always known we
could count on him

- I want make them cry,
after the take,

you hang on the chief
cameraman for 10 minutes

we'll shoot our version

a stuff never done before

a commando operation

- With what he put in his turbinate bone,
he won't go far...

- It's an artist, it works
like that artists,

simple customer,
we'll find another one

Octave I wanted to tell you
how much you impressed me

Thank you, Octave, thank you
for your involvement

I know this script wasn't
your favourite...

You played the game
as a great professional

Obviously, Alfred Dul

- See you soon,
- See you very soon

- So, we've got a plane to take

- Yes, didn't you want
to salute Tamara?

- oh, yes Tamara... yes,
Gagnant! I leave you my house keys

details Diana, details!

- Buddy come see, you're ready?
- yes

- You're ready?
- Yes

- Wait, wait, They propose us
the creative director post

250.000 F per month, plus expense claims,
paid apartment, company porsches

company bitches, stock options,
well there, coke that's the Everest

- No
- But yes, you must say yes!

- No, no, no
- Why?

- Because I got more turn-on,
more revolutionary

- That's what?
- After...

- We shot the pack

no, skip it, this movie is shit

- But it's important, the packshot!
- After Fabienne, after

US

Wa have succeeded

Our version was in the can,
we were kings, we were the strongest

Here it is, I was cameback

- That's weird, that stuff
don't go forth anymore

- Try again

- May I serve you something?
Tea, coffee?

Madam, sir, would you like a drink?

I stayed cloistered at home,

crying and systematicly stumbling
upon Sophie's answerphone

In the meantime, Charly, that fuckhead,
had already answered for us both,

I just had to sign the papers

visually, Creative Director
initials, it makes D.C.

Young blood at R.&W.

- ahh, you're no dorks!
You could have smiled a bit more,

but you are no dorks!

It's in the whole Ross' Name, I raise
my glass to our new two Creative Directors:

Octave and Charly

Yes Stephanie, wait, speak louder...
- Come on,

- What the cops!?
- have a drink

- Well, ok, let them come up, yeah

Police wants to see you,
They're coming up

- Hello,
- Hello Octave, Mrs and Mr. Lacase

on the phone, Sophie's parents

- Oh hi, how are you?

- Inspector Parretti, we come for
Octave Parengo and Charly

- We heard your messages,
on Sophie's mobile phone

and we don't well understand

our daughter commited suicide,
Octave

- Wanted for murder

- it's because of you,
She commited suicide in Senegal

with her friend, Marc,
you understand?

She fired a gun's bullet in her face, Octave
- I understand

- It's better, I can
eventually call you back?

cause I'm here at
a meeting now,

I can't really answer you,
I call you back on Tuesday

ok? kisses...
- Octave you're fired!

- Now it's too late, it had to be
done earlier, I'm sorry...

- This boy is a real shit

- what are you doing here?
- I quit my life, by myself!

- Get him! he's buggering off!

- Wait, it's ok, it's ok
- Get him!

- it's allright

- I've an idea, I gonna...

- You stay here!

- It's locked!

- Tamara, Alfred,
Alfred Dul

Tell-me, would you fancy
a small dinner at the silver tower,

one of these evenings?
And I have a little surprise for you

- Put your gun away

- Parengo don't mess up!

Come back Parengo!
don't do it, I tell you!

Give me your hand,
stop that!

everything is temporary:
Love, Art, planet Earth

you, me

particulary me.

PROJECTION TEST
You're part of a pre-test panel

Option END n

- Octave, fuck, I am in a mid-bad,
enormous... I'm not fine at all

- Yes good evening, do you want
champagne? Amuse la bouche?

- Thanks madam,

- I didn't come here to croak with you,

There's a little girl waiting for me
in Marocco, all I do is for her

- What's that?

- Vomit, you both swallowed
this shit together

- You puked on yourselves

- Fuck, Octave, I believed
we had killed people

I believed we were pursued by the cops,
I was too scared, no joke...

- Me too,
- Come here

At this instant, we were beautiful inside
but pitiful outside...

- Stop laughing, fuck!

Deep inside us, very deeply,
it was a new birth

The universe was offering
us a second chance

- Thank you
- And there are your baggages...

- No, that's fine, I'll take it,
thank you

Dul

To help me realeasing the commercial,
I connected the AAF guys,

the Anti-Ads Front, a secret activist
small group, Charly dug out on internet

- You behave, exactely like them, here...
Watch out seb...

- Like them, Why?

- Excuse me to tell you that, but you
do verbal marketing here

- Wait, I'm doing verbal marketing?!
You know what you're sayin here?

- A terrorist attack should be tried

Like Hud, he had got a good job,
at the Channel 1 Ad section

it's him who has broadcasted
the film on live...

Here it is, Octave is dead,
and so is his car

But I couldn't leave this world,
without savouring my victory

- Excuse me president...

Yes? Well, ok, of course...

you can turn on the
television on first channel?

- My pleasure, mister

- it's good, we're watching
- Here it is, thank you,

it will be awesome,
director!

We'll rip it up!

Tests are super positives,
I think we can say it,

- Yes my dear
- Finally, They're friendly,

and we live strong things

- Look my dear, I think
it's going to begin

- Sorry; I feel stupid, I'll do it again
- Hello, here it's Starlight

a new diet yoghurt, that's strictly
without any relevance

So why are we trying
to sell it to you?

because we've got goals,
we have numbers to make

What did you think?
You think we're having fun, here?

- You know how much costs
30 sec of peoples brain

who's watching tv at this hour?
400.000 F

So how do we do?
With what do we pay this?

and our executives,
how do we pay them?

Wait, our CEO for example,
which salary is nearly closed

Burkina Faso PIB, eh?

What do we pay him with?
Where do we find the cash?

And our shareholders?
the investors?

How we do? How we do?
How we do?

- Fuck that's disgusting!

So now, turn your lil'tv off,
take your lil'coin holder,

and go directly to the
supermarket to sell off stocks,

12.000 tons are to gobble up!

Madone, buy it, otherwise
it won't sell up

Who is slim in his head?

- Anyway, we can't say you give
your customers shit...

I was savouring my revolution,
I was disappearing... Far

learn to live differently

My friend Pyjaman told
me about the jungle

Each year, the world-wide budget

spent on advertising
arise 500 billion dollars.

An UN study estimate that
only 10% of that ammount

would be necessary to divide
by two starvation in the world
