Can you imagine
all the people out there?

- Wake up.
- Me?

- Yes, you.
- I don't want to go to school.

Tough, you're going.

- Why?
- Because.

What's the weather forecast?

It's going to be changeable.
No further details.

Did you brush your teeth?

Are you coming?

- Why do you listen to the forecast?
- Dunno. You?

It's nice for you, but not for me.

- I live there.
- And I live over there.

You could...

You...

How was I supposed to know?
I'm not a mindreader.

- Where do we go?
- Yours or mine?

Mine.

I can assure you
this was not my idea.

My name is Anne-Marie,
I am 37.

I live in the 13th arrondissement.

I'm recovering
from a nervous breakdown.

No, it's near République.

Do you want to walk?

We are not a marriage bureau,
we are a dating agency.

You have to start small.
People will tell you...

The atmosphere on the square
is extraordinary.

A big demonstration organized
by public advisors.

I don't like being alone.

You're not the only one.

LITTLE NOTHINGS

Hey, shake a leg, get dressed,
and take the rubbish when you go.

Here we go again.
Rubbish, commute, work.

- There's always one!
- I'm not the only one!

- I'm going to work.
- Me too.

Do you often run round here?

Hey, miss.

- She's not yours.
- He's married, miss.

Hey, Roger.

Are you going to a wedding?

These are my regular clothes.

Hey, Roger.
Go to work, you lazy oaf.

Shut your face, Lucien.

I'm telling you,
they'd better not give me the push.

There's no danger of that.

There's Mr. Martin.

Why do you think
I'm standing outside?

He could at least
give up his seat.

Thanks!

Are you married?

No, wait,
it's more complicated than that.

First, he had to take me
away from my family.

To see the faces
of the gormless idiots

On their way to work

I hop on the Tube

I keep my trap shut

Well...

Have a good day, Mrs. Yvonne.

- You too, Mr. Martin.
- And you too, Mrs...

Micheline.

Yeah, right.

You took a taxi this morning,
Mr. Pizzuti?

Yes, my roller skates are broken.

- Hi.
- Hi.

I don't want to go.

Hi, Véronique.
Where's my kiss?

- What about our kiss?
- We're just lowly salesgirls.

That's harsh.

- You don't know her.
- I know all the girls.

He's such a ladykiller!

Hey, let's go.

- See you later.
- See you.

- Hi, Hubert. Where's my kiss?
- Wanna kiss this?

Take a julienne of vegetables
for example.

Tomatoes, carrots,
parsley, onions, etc.

At the touch of a button...

...you don't just get
a mixture or a blend,

or a plain, tasteless ratatouille,

you get a real nectar in which
you can taste all the ingredients.

It would be easier
without you standing behind me.

Let me just put my clip in.

OK.

Are you done?
Hang on. Excuse me.

My hair's so flat,
it's annoying.

Excuse me, Isabelle.
30 seconds and I'll be gone.

I can't afford to be late.

And we can?

You're late most of the time.

See you later, girls.
Thanks.

What a bitch.

Hey, slowcoach.
Move it, we have customers.

Come on.

Is this a good one?

It depends what for.

For hammering in nails.

Obviously, but what kind?

Just nails.

We have hammers for upholsterers,
hammers for glaziers,

sledgehammers.

Wooden or rubber handles.

It depends on the use.

- It's for everything.
- Then take them all.

- I'll think about it.
- You do that.

- Excuse me, miss.
- Yes, madam?

The new season is here.

Don't miss our promotions
on our autumn collections.

- Where will I find raincoats?
- Go up to the second floor.

The customer is always right

and the customer
could be anyone.

- So everyone is always right.
- Absolutely.

Modernity is an old tradition
in the Grandes Galeries.

With our centenary approaching,
we need a radical makeover.

Absolutely.

To succeed, I will need to rally,

unite and muster
the energy of the whole staff.

A global strategy
against dispersal

dissipation and division,

in a nutshell, against splitting up.

Very well, Mr. Lepetit.

You will be managing the firm
and rallying our employees.

If nothing has changed
by this time next year,

we will have no option
but to shut up shop.

And make everyone redundant.

Yes, sir. Here's the list.

There are clear divisions.

In no particular order,
over there you have furniture.

On the third floor
you have tables

and household goods,
electrical appliances.

Over there you have
clothing, lingerie and shoes.

And downstairs
you have perfume.

- Over there you have paint.
- Give us a second, will you?

- Fine.
- Yes.

Hey!

The pots of paint don't go here.

I spend my whole time
tidying up after people.

Stockings.

The sports department.

Toys.

- Let's order 500.
- 500?

- No, 1,000.
- 1,000!

All right, then,
150 and no teddy bears.

High fashion.

This is unbelievable.

I was sent to the fifth floor
and now you say it's the second!

No one knows
where anything is anymore.

The music department
is upstairs.

I can't sell you this one.
I use it to compose on.

I've got used to it.

Take the other one.
It's not as good but it's cheaper.

The DIY department is downstairs.

Please follow me.

For little girls and boys

and all their back-to-school needs

make your way
to the ground floor.

The lover she has chosen

This is the staff restaurant.

This tradition
is as old as the store.

But people have stopped joining in.

Mrs. Crécelle who leads them
is retiring.

It flows, flows, flows

Its banks in full bloom

It sings, sings,
sings, sings, sings...

This is a bit ridiculous.

Wait a second.

It is very beautiful.
It's important. It's a group.

Yes, a group.
We should promote these activities.

Hello.

Do you mind if I switch off
this bland music?

Could you turn off this schmaltz?

The music is getting
on everyone's nerves.

Thank you.

That's better.

They play music to relax us
but it really irritates me.

The first thing to learn here
is the geography.

We're going over there.

Do you know where...?

Do you know where we're going?
I think we've been down here before.

It is a patchwork of corridors.

Ah, Mr. Lefèvre.
Mr. Lepetit, meet Mr. Lefèvre.

He runs our workers' council.

Which way is it
to Mrs. Dujardin's office?

It's easier that way.

The first thing you have to learn here
is the geography.

Mr. Roger Blanchard is wanted
in Mrs. Dujardin's office.

Mr. Roger Blanchard.

That's me.

Can you look after this for me?

Thank you.

If I don't come back,
pass it on.

You've only done
temporary work so far, right?

Yes.

It's just the way I am.
I can't sit still, I need change.

But I've decided to settle down.

Mrs. Dujardin, head of training
and staff distribution.

Pretend we are not here.

As I was saying,

to be a sales assistant
you need to be stable,

but I think we may have
a suitable post for you

to match your profile
and background,

- if you like.
- Yes.

This is a temporary job

as what we call
a "supply salesperson".

You will come to my office
every morning

for a briefing

and you'll be told which
member of staff to cover.

So this is replacement work

to replace missing
members of staff and...

With interdisciplinarity
comes more discipline

so you will need to be
extremely active

and quick off the mark.

- Do you follow?
I do.

You will also need some time
to understand the geography.

That is the toughest challenge.

Have you asked him
what his motivation for working here is?

No, but I was about to.

My motivation
is the cost of my rent.

What does the business
awaken in you?

It wakes me up
at seven every morning.

Nothing comes easy.
That's business for you.

We'll leave you to it.

We need to talk to Mrs. Dujardin.
Keep up the good work.

Thank you.

This is Jacques Martin,
our staff manager.

I suppose you have a lot
to ask Mr. Martin.

Indeed. Any relation of Jacques Martin,
the TV presenter?

No.

But I am the great grand-nephew
of Arthur Martin, the industrialist.

- How funny.
- If you like a good laugh.

I rarely laugh
but I appreciate humor.

Yes, you can find anything
in the Grandes Galeries.

For just 12 more minutes...

There is no arguing
about matters of taste.

I've been arguing
about them for 32 years.

So I can't buy
the colors I want?

Yes, but you should get
matching colors.

Take your T-shirt for example.

Don't you think
it clashes with my dress?

- Mr. Pizzuti.
- Hello.

Are you the...?
Follow me.

It's upstairs.

Any more than one manager
and you get dissipation.

You're right.

- So, over there...
- Sorry.

The person in charge
of the decoration...

Hey, the office is this way.

Like the vital organs
in the human body,

men and women need to work together
to build the business...

Why do you think
I'm showing you this film?

I decided to talk first
about the vital organs of this body

in an attempt to be methodical.

You are the vital organs of this body.

Any questions?

You work in a department store.

What can be found
in a department store?

A bit of everything?

Exactly, a bit of everything.

How could you define that
in two words?

Home, leisure, work, clothing.

Well, four words, then.

You know...

People think department stores
are very complicated,

but I'm telling you
that they are simple.

It is great
apart from the contradiction

between what you say
and the way you look.

Look at me.

You are talking to me and you say,
"I'm telling you that they are simple".

Go ahead.

I'm telling you
that they are simple.

It lacks confidence
and conviction.

Try that again.

I'm telling you
that they are simple.

That's the gesture I wanted to see.

The thing is,
when you say things are simple

and you make that bold gesture
which implies a thousand possibilities,

you are contradicting yourself.

Bring your hands closer together.
Things are simple.

Right.

Things are simple.

More like this?

All right?

Another thing.

You need to get rid
of this "all right".

You say it all the time
and it's patronizing.

OK?

OK.

Coordination.

Fair enough,

but how?

By thinking that coordination
is not the business of everybody

but of each and every one of us.
Let me explain.

Everyone needs
to be completely aware

that a group is always stronger

than the sum of its elements.

I would like you to understand

that you are not
in the Grandes Galeries,

you are the Grandes Galeries.

How's it going, big gallery?

Soon, in the Grandes Galeries,
we should be able to say

that no one is no one.

Let me explain.

I'll use an example.

Young lady.

Yes, you.

Come here.

Please come and join me.

Don't worry,
I won't make you disappear.

It is quite the opposite.

How many of you know her name

and her job
at the Grandes Galeries?

- Hello.
- Hi.

Be honest and put your hands up,
it is very important.

Right. How many of you
don't know her? See.

This forest of hands pinpoints

the major and fundamental problem,

the only problem
of our business:

the lack of communication
between members of staff.

He's having a laugh.
He only hired her two days ago.

Hello. My name is
Véronique Joffrin

and I've worked here
for two years

in the women's clothing department
on the ground floor.

Thank you so much, Véronique.
You see how easy that was?

With that simple introduction

Véronique is no longer anonymous.

Together...

You can go back to your seat.
Thank you.

Together, we can act

so that nobody is unknown.

We're going to get to know one another
and form a winning block.

It's no secret that our business
is going through a rough patch

and unless we react,
in a year's time

we will have to shut up shop.

So, one for all...

All rotten.

...and all for one!

Together, we will win!

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I raised both hands
when he asked if anyone knew you.

I didn't see.

- Hi, Véronique.
- Do I know you?

Well, I know you.

Let me introduce myself,
I'm Fred.

It seems we're about to embark
on a big adventure together.

I'll take care of him.

Well done. That was great.

- I think it worked.
- It did.

They're all on the starting blocks.

They're ready to fight.

- Come on.
- Don't touch me.

- What's wrong?
- Don't touch me.

I don't touch you
so don't touch me.

We're all friends!

Isn't that right, Pizzu?

We're all friends here.

Leave it.

Bye, Véronique.

I don't want to lose my job.

They just want us to work more.

They've been saying that for 30 years.
It's always the same.

It's not that simple.

I like the idea of training.
It's a good opportunity to meet people.

Can you see me taking classes?

I can.

I don't think so.

Let's try another exercise.

You're going to stretch your muscles,
your zygomatics.

That's it, stretch them...

and release.

Again.

Stretch...

Stretch, stretch, stretch.

And release.

Stretch, and release.

Again.

Stretch. Go on.
Stretch, stretch, stretch.

Release.

One last time, please.

Stretch.

Release.

This is the technical side of things.

Now you need to add
the mindset.

Right? And how do you do that?

Through your eyes. OK?

Let's try.

The eyes.

And the smile.
Smile, smile, smile... and release.

Be careful not to appear
too artificial.

Some of you overdid it a bit.

If you overdo it, the customer
will notice and they won't buy it.

Watch out for that.
And remember to practice at home.

Smile and release,
smile and release,

and don't forget the mindset,
the mindset with the eyes.

I know who it is.

The hair makes it easy.

It is Mrs. Yvonne.

Don't talk
or you'll give yourself away.

Trust your colleagues.
Nice and stiff.

Good.

Good, that's it.

Gently, gently.

Let's support her.
Come on.

As a child, I would always
hide under the table

whenever we had people
over to the house.

I didn't like answering
the questions the grown-ups asked.

That's good. Carry on.

Don't hesitate to share
very private and intimate details.

Yes, very private and intimate.

No, no, no, no, no.

If you want something
interesting to happen,

you need to open up.

Back then, I would hang out
with my brother and his friends.

Of course, they were always
making comments.

One day, there I was,
listening to them,

when a guy they knew

cycled past with a girl
on his bike rack.

For them, it was obvious
what those two were up to,

if you know what I mean.

And one of my brother's
friends shouted,

"Where are you going, Gérard?
Do you want a hand?"

And another one said,

"Don't use the wrong hole".

And back then,

and I'm sorry to be crude,

but I got to thinking

that a woman's vagina
had two holes

and one was the wrong one.

I was too embarrassed
to ask for more details

and for a few years it stopped me
having my first sexual experience.

That's it.

That was excellent, François.

Let's give him a round of applause.
What just happened was fantastic.

Now, let's get back
into our group and...

I couldn't stop laughing.

He was on a bike
with his brother

and a girl on the rack

and he told him,

"Don't use the wrong hole".

It can be any style. You even get guys
who say really personal stuff.

How's it going, sweetie?

Great. Work's going really well.

You like work? I'm the opposite.
The less I do, the better I feel.

- You're looking good.
- Me? I'm depressed, as usual.

Now that you're famous,
you dress like a star.

Given what I sell,
I can't wear casual clothes.

Of course not.
Where did you get your pin?

This is a brooch, not a pin.

Hey, there are people
waiting to be served.

I thought the new policy
was to communicate.

- I don't have time.
- Mister is in a hurry.

Yes, Mister is in a hurry
and has only one hour to eat.

He's not interested
in your yapping.

- All I ask is that you're efficient.
- Efficient?

You should relax
in your lunch break.

I am quite relaxed.

- As for you, you're a bit too relaxed.
- She's allowed to talk.

Yes, boss.

Thank you.

Ring mine up.

Thank you.

We're allowed to talk.

We're allowed to talk.

I guess not.

You're free to talk.
It's only the cashier who has to shut up.

Right, Zaza?

- You're such a big kid.
- Don't be such an old lady.

- Do you want some water?
- Go on, then. I dare you.

All right, then.

I'm not that stupid.

We're all friends here.

I've always had problems with boys.

Shit! Mr. Martin.

It's a style, it's an atmosphere,
it's the Grandes Galeries.

What the hell?

Why don't you lie down?
You don't belong here, young lady.

There are no customers.

What about these two?

Should I wait?

No, forget it. Go home.

- A lot aren't taking it seriously.
- We are at war.

- You need to let them know.
- Soon, they will feel part of it.

Once people get an idea,
there's no stopping them.

Of course.

- Look straight ahead.
- OK.

Let's go.
Five, four, three, two, one!

Well done, Jean-Luc.

Five, four, three, two, one, go!

- Great!
- It's amazing.

Well done.

I'm petrified!

A bit further forwards.

No, keep holding the railing.

Move your feet
a bit further forwards. That's it.

Great. Now, stand up straight.

Stand up straight.
We'll do a countdown, OK?

Look at the horizon
and push into your legs.

Five, four, three, two...

- I can't.
- It's a challenge.

Let's go.

- Five, four, three, two...
- It's too stupid.

- Take this off.
- OK.

- Never mind.
- I'm sorry.

- OK.
- There, that's better.

- Such a pity.
- So stupid.

I'm not going to look yet.

Grab the railing.
It is very nice.

Stand up a bit straighter.

- That's great.
- A bit more, Yannick.

- OK, no problem.
- Now, look straight ahead,

- And just push off.
- OK.

It's easy. Off we go.
Five, four, three, two, one.

Are you OK?

No problem.

You're one of us now.

Could you turn me
the right way up?

Simone, is this your first jump?

- Yes, Pierre.
- Come with me.

Grab the rails, look at the horizon
and push off with your legs.

Let's go.

Look at the horizon.

- I'm afraid of heights.
- Don't worry.

Leave me alone. I can't do it.

I can't do it. I can't.

Slowly.

No, I can't.

I can't do it. I can't...

It's stupid. I'm sorry
but it is completely stupid.

What a bunch of idiots.

It is too stupid.

"Go on, jump."

And they all jump. Idiots.

And this thing is shaking.
What the hell am I doing here?

That's just the way it is.

When I decided not to jump,
I felt so relieved.

So relieved.

I'm glad you're finding this funny,
but keep the noise down, please.

You either laugh or you cry.

Come and see all the stars.

Don't look at the stars
or you'll get vertigo.

Go ahead and laugh.

- Oh!
- Over there.

Looking at the stars!
Grow up.

Compared to that,
we don't amount to much.

You don't need to look at the stars
to realize you don't amount to much.

Very funny.

Are you coming to bed?

When Armstrong came back,

he said the most impressive thing
wasn't walking on the moon,

it was watching the earth go to bed.

Can you imagine?

You're on the moon
and all of a sudden you see it all.

- That's osmosis for you.
- Yes. Come to bed.

To sum up,
we want cleanliness and quality.

Let's launch
a cleaning operation together.

You have new uniforms,
so give it all you've got.

We need to find fun activities.

We could teach tourists
how to play boules.

There's an idea.

Avoid meetingitis.

Only hold small meetings
for dispatch purposes.

No more "if only"
and more "can do", OK?

Through dialogue
we can confer,

come up with ideas together

and form action groups.

It would be great
to work more in groups.

Do you all agree?

Oh, no, not him.
I'm out of here.

- We're all here so let's start.
- She's leaving. Good start.

Fine.

It's no big deal.

What do you want to sing?

Mrs. Crécelle made us sing
"La Seine".

- I'd like to sing something lively.
- Me too, some rock 'n' roll.

OK, it's all me, me, me.

Being in a choir means
singing from the same hymn sheet.

We're looking for osmosis.

- Everything OK?
- Yes, thanks.

Everything OK, sir.

Don't forget, ladies and gentlemen,
our fashion show is at 3pm

on the ground floor.

Véronique, how is it going?

- Very well.
- No problem?

- No.
- Connection?

Connection.

It's all perfect, sir.

- Sure?
- Sure.

- Can I go ahead?
- Go ahead, sir.

Now people know each other.

Before, it was a real mess
but I said, "Stop, it's quite simple."

In a big business such as ours,
you can't succeed

without teamwork
and communication.

Cut. Wonderful.

Is that it?

Did you get a good view
of the store and the staff?

Yes.

- Let's do the interview?
- Absolutely.

Is this why the Grandes Galeries
sets great store by its events?

Absolutely, the Grandes Galeries
is not just a place to buy.

It is first and foremost
a place to share,

a place of culture.

We're starting with this show

because fashion is essential
to a department store.

Change, new trends and fashion.

To quote Jules Lafflou,

"Fashion makes us all different
at the same time".

Thank you for your ending.

It was Jules Lafflou's.

A sawdust problem?

We have a sawdust problem.
Could you sort it out quickly?

A cleaning operative to the set.

Good morning,
ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome to...

Hurry up, Mamadou.

A big thank-you
to our cleaning operative.

Welcome to our fashion show
here at the Grandes Galeries

for our 1991 spring-summer collection.

I could have been a model too
but I'm too curvy.

- They only want sticks.
- Stop it, they're gorgeous.

The first two models
of our collection.

I like the white dress.

I prefer the black one.

- I like the blonde.
- I prefer the brunette.

The see-through material
is evocative.

It's atmospheric and stylish,
it's the Grandes Galeries.

Japan is on the lookout.

NTM is looking for a spot like yours
to build a hotel and convention center.

The deadline is in eight months.

I hope you're on top of it.
I've only seen costs so far.

I had to set it all up
but now it's ready.

We've done a lot of work
on the technology.

With such quick
financial management,

we plan to cut costs by...
Wait for it.

- How much?
- 50%.

The tills will all be connected.

By Christmas we will see
the real-time turnover,

its location and its exact nature
on this screen.

Give us something
more concrete, Lepetit.

We're here to warn you

that the risk of closure
is still there.

My strategy is to rely entirely
on the human factor.

I'm looking for paint.

Paint. Everything has changed here.
It is on the first floor now.

Ask for Mrs. Yvonne.
Say Véronique sent you.

Say hello to her from me.
Merry Christmas, sir.

Exceptional bargains
for an exceptional period.

It's all here
in the Grandes Galeries.

And don't forget,
for the next ten minutes

you can take advantage
in our video department

of our promotions on camcorders.

And all day on the first floor

you can watch a display
of folk dancing

which can't fail to delight.

It's all happening right here
in the Grandes Galeries.

Can I listen to the one
with the red button?

This one.
Can I have a listen?

Oh, right.
How about this one?

That's a harsh sound too.

Can you turn that one on?

Where is the toilet, please?

It's on your left
after the tea towels.

I want a skirt for my daughter.
Do you have this in a size 2?

This is the right size for you.

It's for my daughter.
I want a size 2.

Do you have it?

Do you have this
in any other colors?

Salmon pink and lilac.

Do you have it in red?

No, madam,
just salmon pink and lilac.

I'll take over. If you want red,
I have another style.

Do you have a machine
to mix the colors?

Of course, sir.

With this polychrome mixer,

you can get over
12,500 different shades.

With so much variety,
you are sure to find what you want.

I'm not asking for so much.

Would you have a color chart?

Yes, of course.

Oh, yes.

So, you're related to Véronique?

No, I don't know her at all.

- I've seen you before.
- I've been here before.

You've been here before
and I recognized you

That's a song by Mistinguett.

It's all right for you,
I still have to be Santa Claus.

Are you paid extra?

The Christmas holidays are here

and our city is clad
in winter's white coat

and our store is adorned with...

The store is adorned
and the snow is falling

on our winter coats,

which are
in the clothing department.

Everybody is
at the Grandes Galeries.

Accessories change everything.

They're essential.

Benjamin's mum and dad

are wanted urgently at the till
in the toy department.

That's right,
ladies and gentlemen,

everyone is
at the Grandes Galeries.

Any perfume or color
you could possibly want

on every floor
and in every department.

Everything everywhere for everyone.

- Excuse me.
- What is it?

Where's the toy department?

I'm going there.
You can follow me if you like.

It's this way.

- Are you coming?
- I can't.

I have customers.
I can't leave.

François, your hands are full.

I'm rushed off my feet.

Don't use the wrong hole.

- I won.
- Benjamin.

- But...
- Your daddy is here.

Thank you.

- No harm done.
- Where do I put this?

In the soft toys department.

- I'm done, I can't take anymore.
- I'll send someone.

- Giselle, go and help François.
- Yes, sir.

Mind the train, children.

Ah, boules.

This is the jack.

This is the ball.

You throw the jack.

And the ball.

You have to get the ball
as close as possible to the jack.

Miss?

Yes? Hello.

I was told to come to you
for sophisticated accessories.

Yes, of course.

They are fundamental
to enhance a body.

Would you have a hessian petticoat
and an emery-paper bra

to match my wooden socks?

Our women's underwear department...

Very funny.
Stop wasting my time.

How rude!

What's that?

Right, that's it!

Stop messing with me, you bitch!

She's crazy.

What the hell?

Have you lost your mind?

You bitch!

Mr. Martin,
I have a partial cancellation

but some of it has been reimbursed.
Should I press reset?

Absolutely not!

- They have already...
- I don't have time.

It has stopped working.

Maybe I shouldn't
have pressed reset.

I want a louder ring.

Can you cover for me?
I'm taking a break.

He's going to help you.

Are you OK?

Good for you.
They had it coming to them.

Here.

I can talk to them if you want.

That's kind of you,
but it's fine.

It's only natural.

Véronique,
I can do a lot for you.

No, Hubert.
It's kind of you, but drop it.

- Miss?
- Yes, madam?

I've wasted 15 minutes
looking for a sales assistant.

What were you doing
in that department anyway?

Do you realize
how serious this is?

- Do you think it's acceptable?
- Yes.

- You do?
- Yes.

You see?

Young man, come this way.
Come on, quickly.

- All good, François?
- Yes but I'm working, you know?

- What's wrong?
- Nothing.

- We're like sheep.
- Don't start.

What did you do to Zaza?
She's not well.

Nothing.

I didn't do anything.
That might be the problem.

Sorry, could we have
some peace and quiet, please?

Get a move on.

- I didn't steal it.
- Show me your receipt, then.

I didn't do anything.

Do you think I'm stupid?

Either the store presses charges
or I give you a beating.

I said I didn't steal it.

Show me some respect.

- You're hitting me because I'm white.
- Don't beat up a kid.

Don't play Mr. Nice Guy with me.
You're not tough enough, Fred.

You're just a big mouth.
You're not cut out for this job.

You're the good guy,
he's the baddie.

I can be a baddie too.

You stay out of this.

What do you want?

What do you want, Fred?

What are you trying to do?

- You're both stupid.
- Shut up.

OK.

What did you say?

I don't get overtime,
I'm a student.

How much do you get
for being Santa Claus?

Nothing, I'm here on a placement.
I do what they tell me to do.

Santa Claus, magician,
selling blenders, bellboy...

You didn't get paid
for being Santa Claus?

Let me explain. I'm a student.
I'm doing a master's in marketing.

- This is my placement, that's all.
- All right, calm down.

But why do you work for free?

I think you make a good couple.

It's sad when things
don't work out.

Are you talking about us?

What do you mean?

Don't you get it?
I'm a master's student.

- I don't care.
- I'm studying marketing.

I don't have
the same status as you.

It is not a question of status,
it's a question of ethics.

- You work, you get paid.
- We don't have the same job.

Plenty of people would love
to have your job.

But it's part of my training.

You wanted to talk to me,
you waved at me.

No, I just wanted
to take my break with you.

- Really?
- Yes.

Great idea.

Knock it off.
This room is for relaxing in.

And we can't talk in here?

- Can you talk?
- Yes.

It relaxes me to talk, doesn't it you?
I talk to her and him.

You want a poem?
I am relaxed.

"When the low, heavy sky
weighs like a lid."

We're sick of it.

If you're not happy,
just leave.

We're all here
to talk to one another.

Exactly.

OK, thanks!

I'm sick of keeping quiet.

We have to be quiet at work
and now in the staff room too.

That's no reason
to work for nothing.

It's not for nothing,
I'm a student.

It doesn't matter, you can't do
Santa Claus for free.

- You do Santa Claus for free?
- I get paid!

Zaza is not here?

She was here earlier.
She's such a slacker at the moment.

You're going this way?

- Can I sit here?
- Yes, great.

Are you tired?
Is that why you're in a bad mood?

It wasn't my fault.

Of course not.

I'm not taking computer classes
four months before retiring.

- They want us to show an interest.
- I'm too old to feign interest.

- And it's not even interesting.
- We need to show an interest.

I don't know about you,
but I think we work too hard.

- I need to piss.
- I'm coming with you.

- Do you do Santa Claus for free?
- Who told you that?

Hi, Michel.

The music is getting
louder and louder.

They think it encourages
customers to spend.

Who is they?

Our ears will soon be fucked.

One day, we'll all snap.
Then they'll have their noise.

What? I'm expressing myself.

- Call an ambulance.
- Calm down and clear the way.

Can someone make a call?

- Clear the table.
- What's happened?

I think she took some pills.

- Call an ambulance!
- What's up?

- She took some pills.
- Why did you do this?

- Don't say that.
- What's the point?

- Don't say that.
- She mustn't fall asleep.

Can you hear me?

- What?
- Nothing.

My little Zaza.

She mustn't sleep.
Are they coming?

Give her some air.
Get out of the way.

Go back to work.
Off you go.

Give her some air.
Go back to the till.

Go back to work, everyone.

Get back to work.

Go on.

We'll take care of it.

Whose fault is this?

- When will they be here?
- Don't worry about that.

Wake up.

She has to stay awake
until help arrives.

Are they on their way?

Can you see me?

Do something.

OK, unbutton her.
She needs air.

You're going to be OK.

If you go half a tone lower...

you get a major chord.

That's a major chord.

GRAND GALLEY

Why should the cleaners
have to put up with that?

- I think it's a spiritual idea.
- Whoever did it is not stupid.

And it's true,
they do work us like galley slaves.

Exactly.

I think most of the training courses
were welcomed,

but the atmosphere
is still rather tense.

Yes.

We have witnessed some
spectacularly annoying misbehaviors.

That's Jones' theory.

With fusion comes
potential friction.

Jones...

A lot of people complain
about the loud music.

Do you know the origin
of the word "companion"?

Etymology enables us to go back
to the real meaning of things.

A companion.

"Com panio" is the one
with who we share bread.

The modern word is "copain".

It is essential to know
the origin of one's acts.

Today, people don't know
what they are fighting for.

So my question is:
what are they fighting for?

To keep their job.

Exactly.

People work to keep their job.

This is very important.

Don't forget
that if we fight for efficiency

and extra sales,
it is for them.

If the music needs to be louder
to boost the sales,

then it will be louder
for them.

Today, one must make
a big effort

to avoid doing nothing.

Make an effort or we'll never
get to sing together.

You're always ahead of the beat.

Try to listen to each other
instead of singing alone in your corner.

There's no need to scream.
Sing quietly and listen.

OK? One more time.

This is what I've organized.
We needed a catharsis.

That's a great idea.

- Sport is a modern catharsis...
- Absolutely.

Making an effort is really important.

- I run every morning.
- Before work?

Yes, around six.

- Impressed?
- Totally.

They want us to run now?

- I bet everyone is going.
- I almost won last year.

- You did?
- Yes.

This year,
I've been practicing every day.

We'll come and support you.

Those idiots are taken in by him.

One day I'll put a stop to that.

I'll make them a poster.

Hi.

We have to go.

I'd better be off too.

What motivated you
to make this decision?

This might sound
a bit pretentious,

but I think
I'm the best in the group

and I have what it takes
to handle the responsibility.

I think so too.

However, I hear things
on the grapevine, I catch feedback.

And I gather you have a hard time
getting on with your colleagues.

Mediocre people often try to conceal
their unprofessional attitude

by pushing others aside.

There's some truth in that.

It's called a downtrend.

You say in your CV
that you had an abortion.

That's original on a CV.

It was the child
or the Grandes Galeries.

Maybe you're right.

I had some doubts myself.

You did?

Yes?

Sorry to interrupt.

You're not.

I need to talk to you.
Are you free tomorrow night?

I'm taking my son
out for dinner.

I'm having a dinner
at my place, so...

Yes.

I'll call you.

Right.

So, where were we?

I've never experienced
such a sex drought before.

And yet there's plenty
to choose from in the store.

Do you have a girlfriend?

Do you have a girlfriend
at the moment?

- You're dropping stuff.
- Well?

No, I don't.

- Are you with someone?
- No.

Don't hesitate. We're slashing prices
on every floor in every department.

Make the most of the promotions.

Tomorrow is
our 100th anniversary...

I wonder what they'll come up with
for the centenary.

He's not going
to turn the music up even louder.

It's to boost sales.
It's not his fault.

Isabelle, come here, quickly.

Aziz got a letter from Zaza.

Did he? If this carries on,
I might do what she did.

She's certainly making the most
of her convalescence.

"The weather is wonderful.
Guess who I saw on the beach?"

What are you doing here?

Unwinding. What about you?

I am convalescing.

Yes, of course.

Are you feeling better?

I'm OK.

This is my wife.

Michèle.

Do you want to join us?

- No, thanks.
- We're playing ball.

- "Lefèvre."
- On a nudist beach?

"He's different on holiday.
His wife is a good laugh.

"We have become friends."

Zaza, this place is great
for natural products.

It is important
to go back to nature,

to find yourself again.

The world we live in
is so crazy.

That gives them plenty of time
to find a costume.

You're as crazy as I am.

You're a real nutcase.

I'm not a nutcase,
I just want to be different.

Everybody is different.

- Do you think it will work?
- Of course.

- They're so stupid.
- They're coming. Hurry.

- Have you seen this?
- What is it?

- Fancy dress?
- A fancy-dress carnival.

It's great.

Thank you, that was lovely.

Yes, thank you.

Right, bye.

- What was it again?
- Sayonara.

What are you going as?

Tomorrow? I don't know.
A naked married man with a ring?

- You're so stupid.
- Your party was a success.

Next time,
I'll cook something for you.

Ciao.

- That was great, wasn't it?
- Thank you, Michel.

- Hello?
- Hi, this is Annick.

I'm sorry to call so late...

- Wait a second.
- Who is it?

- Am I interrupting?
- No, not at all.

- A little bit.
- I can hear that I am.

- Who is it?
- Do you have a second?

I'll call you some other time.

I'm just... Wait.

- I'll be right back.
- Bye.

- Hey, girls.
- Pizzuti!

What's up, pussy cat?
Do you dance?

- Ladies and gentlemen.
- Isabelle!

Look at Snow White.
Do you want my hand?

No, I don't smoke.

I'm joking.

It's about to open.

- So, you're a manager now?
- Yes, it's been two days.

Just a word before we open.

- It's the boss.
- Oh, yeah.

Just a second.

For those who are protesting,

the carnival was not our idea.

- No kidding!
- I don't know whose joke it is,

but I quite like it

and I think customers
will enjoy the show,

though some might find it hard
to work in the costume they've chosen.

That's it. Get ready for work
and good luck.

- Unbelievable.
- I'd love to know who did this.

It was so expensive.

You can wear it another time.

He pulled it off.

Unbelievable.

He has a knack for salvaging things.
One day I'll tell him to fuck off.

Our 100th anniversary
will last another few minutes

and yet, our store
is still so fresh.

Enjoy the celebrations

and remember in your own way

the youth
of the Grandes Galeries.

I'm looking for a keyboard
with MIDI switches

to connect it to a computer.

I'd like a polyphonic keyboard

with a multitude of octaves,
if possible.

And I'm looking
for a reliable product.

I would also like
an extra memory card

to add sounds
to the ones it already has.

Even more sounds.

Yes, if possible.

- This one does it.
- Can I try it?

- Go ahead.
- Thank you.

I'm cracking up.

I'm going to do a bad thing.

Could you transform me
into Prince Charming?

- You're a fairy after all...
- This fairy has had it up to here!

Hey, what are you doing? Stop.

Please, ladies and gentlemen.

- Let's stop this.
- Don't be stupid.

Let's stop this to observe
one minute of silence.

Please, let's stop
this unnecessary noise.

One minute of silence, please.

You'll get us both fired.

Stop and observe
a minute of silence.

You're making a big mistake.

Quiet.

Quiet!

Quiet!

- What's going on?
- Quiet!

Quiet!

Can I ask...?

They're asking for silence.

Just for a minute.

Yes?

Hello, sir. Could you come now?
We have a problem.

- What's wrong?
- Follow me. I'll explain on the way.

Tell me what's wrong.

What a beautiful silence.

You do understand
that after your little prank yesterday

we can't keep you on?

I wasn't planning
on staying anyway.

Was the tag yours too?

It was.

I'm glad
you didn't appreciate it.

Destroyers like you
are always happy with themselves.

I don't hold the key
to perfection,

but I try to build something.

Keep on building,
I'll go and destroy elsewhere.

Goodbye, sir.

- Hi.
- I've come to say goodbye.

- You're leaving?
- I got fired. Didn't you know?

- No.
- Yes.

I lasted a year in one company.
That's impressive for me.

So I won't see you?

I don't know.

Actually, I barely know you.

- Let's meet at the café later.
- Sure.

- Are you sure?
- Yes.

- Sir?
- How much do I owe you?

Five francs without the tip.

Excuse me,
ladies and gentlemen.

I was meant to meet
a blonde girl at five.

She normally wears a red oilskin
and her name is Claire.

If she comes, could you tell her
that I'm tired of waiting?

I'm tired of these pointless meetings
and she's a stupid bitch?

- Be sure to tell her she's a stupid bitch.
- Sure, we'll tell her!

Sparks are gonna fly!

It touches me to see
how much you care about this boy,

but in football,
a mistake gets you a red card

or a penalty.

It's stupid, it's just
a question of principles.

He said, and I quote,
"Tell her she's a stupid bitch.

"And I'm tired of these shitty meetings."

He said "pointless".

Pointless.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

- Hi, is Roger in?
- Yes.

Yes? Could you call him for me?

Don't come outside in bare feet.
In you go.

Is Roger in, please?

- Yes, he's in his room. I'll get him.
- Gégé, there's a lady here to see you.

Roger? Roger?

How did you find my address?

I found it in your file.

Wait.

Come on.

- They call you Gégé?
- Only my sister's kids.

- You didn't come to the café.
- I did but I was late.

Late.

- Did anyone say anything?
- Who?

- At the café.
- No, why?

No reason.

Why don't you come in?

My sister.

Come on.

Why didn't you want us
to stay here?

I don't know.

I'm happy you're here.

Hey, stop that.

I thought you'd hate
the flowery wallpaper.

I hate the flowery wallpaper.

You'll be happy together.

Why do you want me
to meet your parents?

No reason.

This is it.

I can imagine their faces.

I doubt it.

It's me.

- Hello.
- Come in.

- Hi, Mum.
- Hi, darling.

Roger, this is Mum.

- Hi, Roger.
- Hello.

Come on in.
Give me your jacket.

Go on, close the door.

- I like rock 'n' roll.
- You do?

- Yes, I like it as much as you do.
- So we have the same taste?

I might be an optimist,

but I think people
can agree sometimes.

Well, I think it's important
for people to disagree.

I disagree.

- Would you like some coffee?
- Yes, please.

Could I have a drop?

I think there's enough left.

Your theories are all very well,
but I'd like to see you sell.

- I'd like to see you with customers.
- Absolutely. Whenever you want.

I'm ready to give it a go.

There.

- Everything OK?
- It's hard.

This really is the most...

You don't like it either.

Could you show me
something bigger?

- How much for this?
- I'm busy with someone else.

- Put yourself in my shoes.
- Put yourself in mine!

- You're new?
- Yes.

You'll see, it's boring
and badly paid.

Why are you staying, then?

It's the same everywhere.
Anyway, it's about to close.

Don't say that.
It seems to be going well.

I've heard there were
some changes this year.

Yeah, it's much better now.

It's the sort of place
where you can tell the boss to go to hell.

If I were you, I wouldn't try too hard.
We're meeting in one month

I know, but we already
have results.

Everything's changing so quickly,
we can't stop now.

- It's up to you.
- This is not just about me.

You'll see, the marathon
will be decisive.

I'm banking on
a big media success.

There, we made it.
We have nothing at the moment.

We have the TV set.
Let's connect it quick.

Hello. Put those inside.

- How's it going?
- Good. You?

You're together?

How is it going, lovers?

I'm not surprised
you went for a daddy's girl.

Calm down.

Have you got nothing better to do
than to come and mock me?

Go to your rich girl.
Don't keep her waiting.

- Calm down.
- Don't touch me.

Fuck off.

- You have to accept differences.
- It's like with us.

You are different from us,
but you are our friend.

Cut the crap,
I'm not your friend.

- Yes, you are.
- Of course not.

Zaza, you are our friend.

They've started,
Hubert is in the lead. Look.

An excellent athlete,
originally from Guadeloupe...

Do you recognize him?

It's Hubert from the store.

Hubert.

Look, he's in the lead.

Hubert!

Hubert!

You're doing great, Hubert.
See you at the finish.

Come on, Mamadou, get a move on.
Full speed ahead!

Let's sweat.

Run, you idiots!

Maybe one day
you'll stop this bullshit.

Nothing can stop them now.
They are heading for the finish.

It's wonderful
to see them all,

all running individually
but together.

It's fantastic to see people
pushing themselves to their limits.

You're totally right.
It is fantastic.

I feel as if
we'll never be a good match.

Of course we won't be.

Nothing is a match around here.

Look at this mess.

I wanted to tell you...

Hubert Saint-Pierre
is on his way to victory.

There's just 400 meters left.

Mamadou Motoutou is overtaking him
200 meters before the finishing line.

The two men are neck and neck.

After 42km, it is amazing
to see the efforts

- on their faces.
- I recognize that guy.

- It's Mamadou.
- Grandes Galeries!

- Yes, he's a cleaning operative.
- Why isn't he wearing our shirt?

I don't know.

He's taken the lead.

Surely Hubert Saint-Pierre
can't catch him now.

Motoutou wins this 14th edition
of the Paris Marathon.

We did it!

Two Frenchmen on the podium.
This is great.

So much suspense at the finish
for the two French leaders.

Well done.

You did it.

You're all right now.

Hey, there's no need
to get into such a state.

I'm so pleased. Could you please
put that on quickly?

You were amazing.

- How do you feel?
- Great.

It has to be straight.

There you go, nice and straight.
These guys are from the TV.

Yes, we're very lucky
to have Mamadou...

Is it a media success
for the Grandes Galeries?

Absolutely, it is a great success
for the Grandes Galeries

and for our motivated staff.

We have two winners
from the Grandes Galeries.

Our modern company
shows that driven people

who work for their company,
the Grandes Galeries,

can win,
and you should talk to them.

Two winners
from the Grandes Galeries.

It is wonderful, so moving to see.

They come from a group
and they have won together.

Well done.

It's over, Lepetit.

The sale
was concluded yesterday.

What do you mean?

What sale?

- Even with the results?
- Your results are exemplary.

You've turned the business around
in a remarkably short space of time.

Your career is safe.

To tell you the truth,

the decision was taken
before you got hired.

When we saw you,

we were already negotiating
the transfer of the premises.

Thanks to you,
we didn't make too much of a loss.

Thanks to your management,

we sold the premises
for twice the advertised price.

What about the staff?

All the redundancies,

and I mean all of them,

will be covered by our profits.

It's a stroke of luck
for our small shareholders.

Come on in,
it's about to start.

I am me

And you are you

I am me

And you are you

I am me

And you, shut up

You're not the only one

Who can say me

I can too

Me, me, me, me

Me, me, me, me, me

Me, me, me, me, me

Me, me

I don't like to be alone
Nor do I, nor do I

You're not the only one
Nor do I, nor do I

I don't like to be alone
Nor do I, nor do I

You're not the only one
Nor do I, nor do I

Me, me, me me
Me, me, me, me, me

Me, me, me, me, me, me

It's osmosis!

I don't like to be alone
Nor do I, nor do I

You're not the only one
Nor do I, nor do I

I don't like to be alone
Nor do I, nor do I

You're not the only one
Nor do I, nor do I

Me, me, me, me
Me, me, me, me, me

Me, me, me, me, me, me, me
