So, Alt... Ctrl... star key... Enter

and Print

Hey, room 14, the guy's out today, right?

Yes.. No, can't remember, just ask him

What are you doing?

Nothing, invitation cards for Sabri's birthday

- Really? When is it?
- The 13th

The 13th? Excellent! I have the perfect alibi

If I can avoid being dragged into that

Can I have the envelopes please?



Don't mess them all up!!

- Tell me, aren't there people missing?
- I don't think so

- Wait, there's a problem, you must have forgotten some people

Well, at least one.

Why do you care?
I thought you wouldn't come anyway

Obviously not I wouldn't, but that's not the point

Just ask Sabri, it might be a misunderstanding!

Wait a second, me? on my knees for a shitty celebration?

I couldn't care less! Let me tell you,
On the 13th, I Have a party that is going to be unreal

And when I say "unreal", it's... unreal.

Yeah, yeah, all that for tonight

No! Just me and you!

Just like old times

Ok you can't that's fine.



Ok let's keep in touch, yes, I'll call you

Hey Sabri! I am in such a good form!

Tonight is going to be mental

Why? You are going out yourself?

No, but I was thinking, it's Friday night

And it's been a while since we went out as friends

- So what's the plan?
- Well, you do whatever you want

But myself, I need to go at my uncle's

Oh yes, your uncle! The one I get along with!
That one, yes?

Don't think about it, not going to happen

Wait, you know he loves me right?

Not going to happen, I just told you

It's time you need to learn how to sleep alone!

Ok, well, I will remember (broken English)

- Jamel, I thought that both of us could
- No

- C'mon I am just asking you to spend some time with a lifelong friend

- And you can't even
- I told you before, I am going to MacDonald's!

Waw, you're going all in with a girl tonight!

Menu Big mac, large fries, large coke

Nobody leaves the room!

Why do you stop talking, something to feel guilty about?

No no, we were... conversing

And you?

Well, same, I was conversing

At first, I was conversing about here

Then I started conversing there

But I was mostly conversing sitting here, like that

Something very bad happened in these premises

Room 124's dead!?

Worse

Room 125's dead!?

There was a theft

Someone stole my collection stamp album

Damn, you scred me at first

that's fine, I don't have any!

MY stamp album!

Don't you worry Professor, we will find it

Don't you have a piece of cloth or something that the dog could smell

Aimé, nothing funny here, I know that kind of cycle

First a trivial murder, then a trivial theft, then, one morning

You wake up with the bathroom full of graffiti

Not in my backyard, my dears!

I need your help to stop that scoundrel

Scoundrel?

Scoundrel, eh!

But don't you have his first name, Professor?

So that I can do to the patients' register to track him

Culprits everywhere, here, here, and here. Everywhere!
So that I can do to the patients' register to track him

Culprits everywhere, here, here, and here. Everywhere!

If, in 48 hours

My album hasn't been found

I burn down the hospital

I cancel all May's bank holidays

I cancel "da big fiesta"

That's Clabri's Birthday. Jabri's, Plati's

What's that tall guy's name already?

- Sabri, but that's me
- Sabri, and that's you, very good

Everybody is a potential suspect

Let me repeat, everybody!

I'd say it's a bit awkward to steal stamps, don't you think?

Well you know once I stole my mother's fly tree, so...

Embarrassing as well

- Your mom's fly tree?
- Yes, her fly tree

It is like an herbarium, but with flies

And it was my mom's, that's why

Well, I guess stealing stamps is better then?

Even more, it is classy!

Still requires a dumbass to do that

The one who did it must be a big big dumbass

Let's say, this dumbass, is a friend of yours
someone you know

- No way!

That's you, I knew it!

But why did you do that, what happened?
you're a letter carrier now?

No, nothing to do with my religion

I've used the stamps on my invitation cards, it's pretty

I couldn't know they were stamps from a stamps collection

And you didn't ask yourself questions when taking them out from a very fancy album

You didn't think "oh wow an album made with gold on it!"

It didn't raise eyebrows?

you do some messed up things I've noticed!

That's fine, the envelopes are in the hospital's mailbox

We can surely get them back alright!

- Oh really?
- Yes

- Ah that's fine, you just need the keys and you're sorted

- Yes, that's it
- Good, all is fine then
- Yes

- you got the keys?
- No

- And then, the Chinese guy tells him

"Sorry I cannot, I have no hands" (Chinese accent)

Please, do you mind?

Have I told you the one where the rabbi shags Cindy Crawford?

Yes, you told me three times already

Oh yeah three times already?

I am just doing that to help you before your surgery

I would have been sleeping quietly at home otherwise

I'd be relaxed
- I know that, thanks

You show dedication.
Can I have my pillow back?

Your pillow?

Oh I didn't notice!

- Also, do you know how a Mexican
- Shut up now!

What is happening Sir, I heard you from outside?

You need to sleep now, tomorrow's the big day!

That's not me, it's him

Oh look at the snitch!

What on earth are you doing here?

Hum, it's a bit complicated

- I just cannot go home
- Why?

I have no place to sleep

I'd like to sleep

Well, I don't know, you can stay at mine

Is there anyone there?

If I am suggesting, that's because it's empty

Here you go

It won't be possible then

that seems complicated, do you want to talk about it?

Yes, I'd like to actually

Could you turn off the light?

Sabri!

Stop stop! You want wake up the whole hospital?!

I don't want to lose my job and social benefits

Jamel

No matter the obstacles

Our friendship will remain unaffected

What are you talking about?

Just checking who has the most telescopic fingers

that's you, off you go

Wait, my muscles need to become supple

Why are you both still here?

On a friday night

Yes, yes, that's because, you know, we were leaving

No, actually we didn't know if we had forgotten something

So we came here to think a bit before leaving for good

So now, we're thinking

- you got your sweater?
- Yes, all good

- got your trousers?
- Yes, thought about it!

- Got both shoes?
- I got my two shoes!

Ok, good to go then!

Alright, Sabri, there are things worth not forgetting

See, for example, I won't amend your planning

So you're on duty on the 11th

the 12th, the 13th, the 14th and the 15th

You heard me well?

- The 13th.
- Yeah yeah

I hope you don't have anything scheduled on the 13th

You decide, as long as I have my evening off, I'm ok

Wait, you don't get it

You spend the night here in the hospital. The whole night.

Yes, I told you already, up to you!

As long as I have my evening off, I'm ok

Are you kidding or what?

Sabri, we all make mistakes. You can fix it.

I spent the whole night all by myself

And since that day

I cannot fall asleep if I'm alone

Not a big deal, there's a solution to all life's problems

No, there's nothing to do, no solution, that's crap

Of course there is, you can sleep here with me

- Enough with that

Stop that, you'll do a mess

We are going to get caught

- Sing, go on, sing!
- Don't we have better things to do?

Sing, sing, come on, sing. That's just to cover up the noise.

- What do I sing?
- Anything that comes to your mind

There is a house in New Orleans

Can't you sing something else? Anything else but that.

I will be hung tomorrow morning

Something else, please.

Go and get me a screwdriver

"Go and get me a screwdriver"

What's the tune of that song already?

Go on, you go first

Do you mind if I turn the TV on?

- Not at all
- Because I always fall asleep with it on!

- Ok, let's turn it off!
- Yes yes

Also, I've seen this one before. They are about to shag like beasts.

Very bad, zero, pointless.

I'm exhausted

I meant to tell you, that is so nice of you to have me in your bed

Don't worry about it, that's natural!

I mean it

It is so so nice of you

Stop it, I am telling you it is my pleasure

Well, may be not pleasure but let's say I do not mind

And see, all of this in good faith

Two friends like us should be able to sleep together without it getting weird

Friendship is a beautiful thing

Wait, what's that hard thing?

Oh excuse me!

What are you doing here?

Nothing, that's not what you think it is

Well I don't think anything

But you are not on duty, are you?

I am not

I know, but I sleep here, it's more practical

So I can get on with the job earlier

But you only work on Monday

Yes, Monday

So now I am sure I won't be late

What is that horrible thing?

That is my pyjamas top, can I please have it?

- This is yours for real?
- Yes

- What on earth are you doing?
- Wait a sec

I am looking for a screwdriver

- Oh yeah?

- Got it now
- Brilliant, alright thanks bye!

So tell me

Don't you think someone followed you today?

No, why?

Do I know her?

Can you please leave, I've things to get on with

Yes, sure, things to get on with

I can hear a man's steps

There are more or less two of them

Not more than 5 minutes away

The first one wears a plurple gabardine

The second one is laying on top of the other, no idea why

What happened here?

Oh, about that Sir, we were looking for you!

Hundreds of repeat offender vandals came

They broke everything in the hospital

They even tried to break the mailbox!

Crazy in the head

- Weren't they? yes or no?
- Yes!

They had very long blond hair, with mustaches, screaming like that

A little secret passage

Let's say for example I have put something in the box

And I would like to double check it, typos, stuff like that

I am sorry, to post is to post, to take back is to steal!

So are the rules!

Oh, that's some sick person's blood!

No no it's ketchup

We took samples from hospitals' canteens, for the laugh

Ah nice

By the way

About last night

I don't want you to think that together we

Ah stop, that's in the past!

I don't blame you, you can't be on top form all the time

- On what?
- On top form!

Hey, do not worry, that's natural

All men have ups and downs. A bit like an elevator.

Wait, an elevator?

See for example in sports

You have the guys playing first league

And you have the others, amateurs.

Well if you like them, you still watch the game

If you excuse me, I have work to do

Because I wouldn't like you to think that

Together, it is for life

I would prefer if we could stay friends

See you later

Béatrice put me in the confidence

What did she tell you?

Don't play dumb, you know what she said

Ah well I see now! This is how chicks are!

Ah well then she told you everything

You know about the elevators

The top form, the amateur league, laugh's over ok?

No but I would have just liked to be invited, that's all

- You would have liked to be invited?
- Yes

You are pretty open, aren't you?

When people are having fun, I like to take part

Slut!!

Did you ask to see me, Sir?

- Please enter, Jamel

- My name is Sabri, Sir

Yes that's what I meant, yes, Brazi, yes

Come on here, take a sit please

I need to tell you something

Yes

You know that

Some vermin

Stole my album

Yes, I am sorry for your loss

I am the one who's sorry for you

For real

Sorry, because this time

I won't be nice with you

I couldn't know, it's not my fault.

That's my birthday, so for the invitation cards, I thought

No no, say no more

It's hurting me, it's difficult enough already

Son, I wanted to give you

As a birthday present, a beautiful stamps album

I am sorry I lost it

I have ruined your life

I have ruined your birthday

I have failed in my duty

Come on Major!

Jamel

I think I made a mistake last night

Oh yeah?

I slept with Béa.

Béa?!

Don't tell me that's not true!

Not the Béa from Béa we both know, right?

Yes that's the thing, the Béa from Béa we both know

Did she threaten you with a knife?

Did she hold your mom as an hostage, what happened?

Wait, there's more

You slept with Professor Strauss?

The thing is that she told me that

I wasn't, hum, let's say

I wasn't on top form

Top form?

That's to say, you know, when someone gave you pleasure

But didn't really give you any

She said she didn't really feel much.

Ah that's it?

Don't worry too much about it, that's nothing

That's a well-known trick!

She said that so you that will surpass yourself next time

- Ah you think?
- I am positive

Girls always tell me that

And, usually, they tell me the same the time after

I know what I am talking about

Happy Birthday to you, Sabri

And there's no more letters

Now everybody is happy and equal

Hello Clara

you're alright?

Yes I am well, way better now

You don't seem in the best form though

Am I of interest to you now?

For you

I hope you will make it next Thursday

For my birthday

Sorry?

That's the invitation card

I ran out of stamps, so I decided to give it to you in person

That is very nice of you, but I

I'm not sure I can make it next Thursday because

I am still counting on you

That's on the 13th, right?

Do you dance?

Sure

I am in such a good form tonight!

Top form, I feel the power

You're holding me too tight

Béa, with that shape of mine tonight

Girls should be careful if they meet me

Stop it, you're hurting me

Excuse me

With all the things I took

I'm ready for the olympic games!

Get off me now!

All good here, no problem!

I just stepped on her foot!

Let's get this party started!

Hum, about what you told me last time

You know!

About your sexual tastes

What are you talking about?

Tonight

You will discover what pleasure really means

It is going to be ex-qui-site

It will only be the two of us, you don't mind?

Are you sick, stop it right now!

I stepped on our foot as well!

Are my feet big tonight or what?!

Let the party continue
The party must goes on (broken English)

Miss, about the dress, is it allowed around here?
