Parlement (2020–…): Season 2, Episode 3 - Episode #2.3 - full transcript
...
-I love deserted streets at night...
Passers-by who come home late from work...
All alone...
Like little ants...
Exhausted from their day's work...
Sam yawns.
Looks like I could crush them
from here!
Couic !
Ah !
Couic !
Bon...
What am I announcing tomorrow morning?
- Well, we can talk
about European tax harmonization...
- Oh, that's great!
At 8:30 in the morning...
European tax harmonization
will captivate people.
I note, huh!
- And then it is not a prerogative
of the Fisheries Committee.
-Voilà.
- Well, otherwise,
we are talking about my amendment on finning!
That's good, it's going to touch people...
-Ah, your thing about sharks?
No, it's not possible, it's...
It's anecdotal, that, Samy!
I need something strong!
Something that strikes,
like Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal!
I don't know, something that changes everything!
-Eh ben le Blue New Deal ?
-The Blue...
New Deal...
-Yeah.
-That's right !
Because
I proposed "Green New Deal" and...
"Blue"...
Because we are in the Fisheries Committee.
"Blue", like the sea...
That's brilliant!
Did you think of it like that?
- Yeah, no, I don't know, I thought...
- It crossed you...
- Yeah, yeah!
It's an idea... -
Incredible!
-Yeah yeah !
- Yeah, it's strong!
You are strong.
-It is ironical.
-Bon...
What do we do ?
-Health !
How are you ?
- Hmm hm!
So, you spent the night
fighting for the oceans?
-Yes. You know, it takes what it takes...
What's the matter ?
-Nothing. I know it's a little early for that,
but I really want
to introduce yourself...
-Ah, yes! OK !
-To my feminist collective.
-To your?
- Feminist collective.
Did you think I wanted
to introduce you to my parents?
-Not at all !
-T'imagines !
The ritual of reaffirmation
of the patriarchal institution!
-Yeah...
Well... The collective!
-Hm?
-Yes with pleasure.
-There is a dinner tonight
with the girls and the allies.
-The allies ?
-Hmm.
-OK.
- Actually, it's very nice!
It's really just a pretext
to drink shots.
-Ah bah yes, yes... I'm in.
-Cool !
The theme is transphobia,
validism and intersectionality.
-Very good !
I have to bring a suit or...
No just kidding !
-Be careful with the jokes...
It's a "safe space", okay?
-Ah yes of course !
Yes.
-Good.
I'll see you tonight, then.
-Yeah, definitely!
- See you tonight, okay?
-See you tonight ! I look forward !
No costume, then?
-Nope.
-Non.
...
-So...
We have a
general managers meeting
at 10 o'clock ...
You have the possibility of chairing it,
but in practice, nothing obliges you to do so.
Do you want to come, Mr. President?
-Bah...
Non...
Non ?
-As far as I see
that you also have an appointment
for the presidential portrait...
- Well there you go! Yes, more!
- You want
me to represent you at the meeting?
-Oui.
-If you ask me, fine.
Telephone.
And in the meantime,
Bertrand is at your disposal
to answer all your questions.
Yes ? Where are you ?
That's it, I'm on my way.
We talk about it when we meet.
OK. I fixed everything, no problem.
Michel hums.
...
-What is it exactly,
the presidential portrait?
-It's yours...
This is your official photo.
-My official photo?
-Uh... Yes, like these. This is...
-It's today ?
- Yes, it's today.
- But I didn't know that!
I didn't wear my best tie...
-Do not worry ! You know, here,
it's not the ties that are missing!
Every six months,
the rotating presidency of the Council
offers a new tie
as President of Parliament.
It is a great and old tradition.
- All those ties!
-Yes...
-It's...
-And I'm not telling you anything
telling you that right now
it's the Dutch presidency...
Hollandaise...
*-It's 8:22...
*-France Inter...
-Attends !
- Oh, hello!
-Health !
-Excuse me, my MP is
on national radio, so...
*-Welcome MEP
*Valentine Cantel...
-I wanted you to know that...
I was taking a sabbatical year.
-What ? Are you leaving Parliament?
-Nope ! I'm taking a year off here!
-In Parliament?
-Yeah !
You know, since Ingeborg left,
nobody knows that I exist.
So I have no job.
Hence the gap year... here.
-OK...
See you !
Why are you following me?
-I'm not following you,
I'm going in the same direction.
I have the right ?
-OK...
*-The presidential election is approaching,
and once again, we see that...
-Otherwise...
What are you doing later?
- Well, Torsten, I have a ton
of work to do for my MP
and I need a doctorate in feminism
before tonight,
So I'm sorry you're bored,
but I won't be able to help you...
-I'm not bored, no!
No, I have a ton of things to do,
too!
At 9 am, with the secretaries of the Greens,
I have a pottery lesson.
-OK !
Super !
-It's perfect !
-Yeah !
-Feminism...
Dragan listens to the morning.
-And to an echo.
*-We do very concrete things
that affect 500 million Europeans.
*-Bah tell us one!
For example, what?
*-For example,
there is the regulation on finning,
*regarding
shark fin fishing.
*-Shark fin fishing?
*I'll be honest:
*I am not sure that this is at the top
of the concerns of Europeans.
- What an asshole, that one!
*-If you want us
to tackle a major project,
*I can talk to you today about
the Blue Deal.
*-And what is the Blue Deal?
*-The Blue Deal is a new initiative
*at the level of the continent
which will allow us to fight
*together against the degradation of the oceans.
*-And so,
what does that imply, exactly?
*-Well, it's a whole series
of projects and initiatives
*which we are currently working on
*and which will allow us to
completely redefine our relationship to the living.
*My collaborators, moreover,
work there,
*at this very moment, in its elaboration.
* I will present a big plan next week ...
-She said "next week"?!
Do we have a chart?
Already, we can include finning.
"Finning"...
What else ?
-What else ?
-The Dolphins ?
The Dolphins. That's right !
People, they like dolphins!
"Dauphins"...
- But Samy, the concern is that Parliament
does not have the initiative in legislative matters,
and suddenly,
we have a real problem of competence.
-Ah...
-Or, possibly,
if we go through article 225
of the treaty on the functioning
of the European Union...
-OK.
- But it will take more time.
Telephone.
-Shit, she's the boss!
Wait, can you give me some space,
please?
Yeah, Valentine?
Are you doing well ?
Yes, I hear you well.
Dragan? Uh...
Yes, there he is. Yeah yeah.
Well, I can debrief him on
what we say to each other later...
Yeah.
You're on speakerphone, that's it.
*-Hi ! So, I'm on the train, I'll
arrive in an hour and a half,
*and I want to hear your suggestions
on your Blue Deal idea, Samy.
*OK ?
-Uh...
Mrs. Cantel,
that is to say that we have a real problem
competence of Parliament...
*-Wait, how come? I do not understand.
-In fact...
No... Wait, please...
I thought about it, Valentine.
The idea would be to use section 225.
*-Yes... Ah well, do that!
Come on, see you soon!
- Yeah, it works. See you soon.
- But Samy, it's not so easy
to use article 225 in this sense...
We should look at the precedents first.
-OK, put yourself on it,
I'll do some research on my side,
et on compare our results, OK ?
-What ? But where are you going?
-I go to the secretariat
of Parliament.
-But why ?
-There is a library
with legal resources...
- But we have everything here! Sami!
Samy!
-Your MP announces
a big project with a high-sounding title
promising radical changes
in the regulation of the continent,
and you come to see me for:
1/ make it possible,
and 2/ find content
in line with your ambitions...
disproportionate.
-Yes.
-That's right ?
-Yes, but I realize
it's a bit unusual, as a request...
-Unfortunately not.
- And then there, I have the impression that we have
a problem of competence with the Parliament.
But I think maybe we can
do something with article 225...
Eamon snorts.
-Thank you...
Leave this poor article 225
outside of all that.
-Yes... No, but it wasn't...
-Indeed, the powers of initiative
of Parliament are very limited.
In contrast,
we can probably
compose a bouquet of existing texts
which you will be free to name
"Blue Deal",
if you find that appropriate or sensible.
-Uh... It's not my idea, the name.
-We could put...
"Electric fishing ban".
- Yeah, absolutely!
Electric fishing looks horrible!
Fish Guantanamo!
-We have the fishing quotas...
- Fishing quotas, very good! Yeah yeah !
-Your finning, of course.
-Finning. Very well.
-The framework regulation
on accounting for natural assets
according to IFRS standards.
The.
-Yeah yeah ! That interests me!
Perfect. That's right ! It's technical,
it will give a little depth to the file.
-And we also have
the new IUU regulations...
Samy chuckles.
-Les "ayouyou" ?
-Les IUU.
-"Ayouyou"...
Ayouyouyouyou! Boarding!
-"Illegal, Unreported
and Unregulated fishing" :
les braconniers de la mer.
-Oui...
OK ! That's good, all that!
It is very good. Not bad.
- We could perhaps add...
the appointment of the directors of the
European maritime safety agency...
But maybe it's
a bit ambitious for you...
-No, that's fine! It is very good !
It's good. That interests us.
Yeah.
- Samy... -
Yes?
-Some of these files
are very complex.
-Oui.
-Perhaps you shouldn't
take on so much...
-No way ! No no !
We will take it very seriously.
You can trust us.
Thanks, Eamon.
...
- Yeah... Well, I think I
have everything I need.
-Already ?
-Already ?
-Well yeah...
- Well it's...
Yes it's good...
It's good, yes...
I'm not sure that...
I'm not sure that represents...
Mr. Specklin's sensibility.
-Yes, not sure that it represents
my personality, my sensitivity...
I do not know...
-I stayed
in the style of the predecessors.
-Uh...
Is...
Well, to be completely honest,
I feel...
You see, it's the
photographic aspect that limits us.
-That's to say ?
-Ladies and gentlemen,
I introduce you...
le Blue Deal !
-What is that ?
-All folders
which will constitute the Blue Deal
and which will therefore change
our relationship to the living.
- And the problem of competence?
-There is not any.
All the files have already
been proposed by the Commission,
and they are before Parliament.
-Bravo !
-Wow!
-I am impressed.
-Hm.
-Did you draw the dick
on my velleda painting?
-No, that's a skull.
-What are
the new accounting standards?
What does it mean ? What
are the new accounting standards?
- It's nothing special,
it's a technical subject.
It's good to have a technical subject
in a legislative package,
it gives thickness.
- So,
I don't fully understand the subject,
but I understand that
's a pretty bold proposition
in an attempt to overcome
the dual materiality of IFRS standards
with a new version
of the IRS 41 standard.
- Basically, that's it, more or less.
-Thank you Dragan,
it's very clear. Can you
give me a little note?
-Yes of course !
-Super, Samy.
On the other hand, try to control
the files that you bring to me.
-Sure.
-Mrs. Cantel,
I'll give you a brief note
or more comprehensive?
-Three pages is fine.
-OK.
- Samy, are you making coffee?
-Yes of course !
-You want some coffee ?
- Yes, gladly!
- Are you making us two coffees?
-Two coffees?
-Yes.
- Do you want some sugar?
-Yes why not ?
- A small cloud of milk, perhaps?
-Uh...
- No, are you okay? OK.
- Thank you, Samy.
- Well, I have to get rid
of an intern!
You know where I could find
a bad deputy
who can I
send it to for good?
What is that ?
-You said you needed me
to better understand feminism.
-I said that ?
-Samy,
I assure you, the time has come!
It's time for you to take a step back
and face your deeds
as an old male
noir and cisgenre.
- I'm not old!
Wait, am I old?
-It doesn't matter.
-Hello !
I'm looking for a certain Torsten
for our group.
-Third floor !
He is very busy.
-OK. Thanks a lot !
- Well, thank you very much for all your work,
but for now, my priority is...
What's this,
this part here?
- That, my friend...
This is the most complex aspect of the problem.
-Interesting...
-She, for example, she uses
objectification for her emancipation.
She passes from the status of an object
to that of agent of objectification,
therefore, roughly speaking,
it transforms objectification
into subjectification
by reclaiming sexual images
of the female body.
-Wow...
I who thought that the decisions
of the European Union were complicated...
-I say !
But wait until you see
gender and conformity!
It makes the regulations look like
nursery rhymes.
You know Sam...
I thought the FEMM commission
was all hot air, but...
In reality, she has to deal
with rather...complex things.
-The FEMM committee?
- Oh my God... I'm sorry!
You're right, it was disrespectful!
The FEMM committee, women's rights,
most people
consider it windy,
but I think we should push
for it to be...
- Is there a commission
for women's rights?
Wait, but that's where I'm going to find
a lame deputy for my intern!
-Nope ! This is exactly the kind of attitude
we need to change...
Gate.
-Thank you, Torsten!
-(It's better.)
It's good !
There is fantasy, there is...
I still wonder if it lacks
a little bit of color, anyway...
Or maybe the costume
is a little shy...
-I can change my tie, for example!
-Tie ?
I'm not sure
that's enough.
A moment...
Voilà.
- The costume cabinet!
-Oh no !
These are not disguises,
these are traditional costumes...
-Ho is!
-Offered by regional delegations
during their visit to Parliament.
Go ahead, touch! Touch!
Look at this !
Look at this !
- Ho there!
- Isn't that pretty?
So... -
Ouch ouch ouch!
- That's...
- That's...
It's got hold, as they say!
Look at this !
-We can do everything !
-Like one wants !
-Like this, like this, like this...
-AIE Aie Aie !
-You have to have a small reward
to give him after each effort.
I don't know...
Little sweet things, for example!
It worked for me for years
with the President of the Commission,
then it will work with him.
-I am told about a Blue Deal story,
too...
Do you know what this is about?
-Yes, a young MP
pulled that out of her hat,
she tries to show off.
She's French !
-And with what money does she count
the financier, her Blue Deal, as you say?
They've already done the trick to us
with agriculture.
- We have to keep an eye on that.
-Yes.
We'll put someone in his coalition.
We need a member who is
a little smart and responsive.
-Herman ?
- No, he is already
on a big transport file.
I can put Gesine "no no no"
in his paws,
If you want !
If that doesn't stop her, it will at least
certainly slow her down!
-Very well.
Next item...
The French are protesting because
all the high positions in the administration
would be held by Germans.
- My mother is Austrian!
-Not bad !
I will answer them!
- But is that how it is?
Is there a
CV and interview selection system?
Something a little more classic?
- Don't be old fashioned, Dragan, listen...
That's how it's done today.
It is in contact that it is played.
Don't you want to be an intern all your life?
-Nope !
-No ! Come on, let's get a little crazy!
Good day Mrs ! An assistant ?
He speaks four languages!
Madam, an assistant?
Sir, an assistant?
He speaks four languages,
he studied at Sciences Po, the College of Europe,
he speaks Polish, Russian... What do you speak?
-Serbian.
-Serb?
He speaks Serbian. A Serb, sir?
Do your part, too, Dragan...
Wait, come.
Hello Sir.
Excuse me for disturbing you,
I present to you Dragan,
a great parliamentary assistant!
He did the Collegue d'Europe, Sciences Po,
he speaks four languages...
Maybe it can interest you?
- No, that's nice, I'm not interested.
-OK.
-Uh...
In fact, it is too small.
Size.
-OK.
On the heels!
I'll give you his CV anyway,
if you're interested...
- A well in front of the gate...
There is a linden tree...
Someone's knocking at the door.
-Mrs. Breschenschneider,
I bring you the list of votes
for the plenary.
-Ah !
So...
Uh no.
No.
Telephone.
No. Um yes ?
Oh !
Martin! Oh ! Yes !
It's a surprise, then!
-Dear Gesine, you should join
the Blue Deal project, I assure you!
*-Le Blue Deal ?
-Yes, you see, to watch a little
what the French are up
to once again.
*-I'll look at it more closely.
-Yes, while being vigilant,
of course.
*-I keep my assistant informed.
The Blue Deal, very well, it is noted!
*Thank you, Martin!
It is always a pleasure to speak with...
Porte.
*Hello ?
*You are still here ?
-Yeah!
It was rough, but...
I knew we had one in reserve.
Oh...
Yes, Martin?
...
-He looks so sad!
-Hmm...
Did you know that men
see a woman's body
as a sum of different parts,
and women,
that of men as a whole?
- No, I didn't know.
But it's very feminine magazine,
so I'll try to forget it,
if you do not mind.
- That's why you compliment me
never on my calves...
However, they are beautiful!
-Yes, I know.
- No one notices
my pretty wrists either!
-Whether ! Me, yes!
- You haven't even looked at them!
- But I know they are pretty.
- Anyway, I
I don't see you as the sum
of different parts of a body.
-Thanks.
-And I don't objectify you.
-What ?
-I mean
that I don't see you as a sex object.
-Cool.
-Yeah !
I don't want to mansplain
either, but...
Quoi ?
-What's this ?
What is that ?
- No, but that's nothing!
-Raise your hand.
-Nope !
Rose, it's my hand!
-Sorry, I shouldn't have asked.
Sorry, I objected to you.
-No, I have...
Have you heard
of toxic masculinity?
Non ?
It's a hassle, huh!
The cow...
-I love deserted streets at night...
Passers-by who come home late from work...
All alone...
Like little ants...

Well, I can debrief him on
what we say to each other later...
Yeah.
You're on speakerphone, that's it.
*-Hi ! So, I'm on the train, I'll
arrive in an hour and a half,
*and I want to hear your suggestions
on your Blue Deal idea, Samy.
*OK ?
-Uh...
Mrs. Cantel,
that is to say that we have a real problem
competence of Parliament...
*-Wait, how come? I do not understand.
-In fact...
No... Wait, please...
I thought about it, Valentine.
The idea would be to use section 225.
*-Yes... Ah well, do that!
Come on, see you soon!
- Yeah, it works. See you soon.
- But Samy, it's not so easy
to use article 225 in this sense...
We should look at the precedents first.
-OK, put yourself on it,
I'll do some research on my side,
et on compare our results, OK ?
-What ? But where are you going?
-I go to the secretariat
of Parliament.
-But why ?
-There is a library
with legal resources...
- But we have everything here! Sami!
Samy!
-Your MP announces
a big project with a high-sounding title
promising radical changes
in the regulation of the continent,
and you come to see me for:
1/ make it possible,
and 2/ find content
in line with your ambitions...
disproportionate.
-Yes.
-That's right ?
-Yes, but I realize
it's a bit unusual, as a request...
-Unfortunately not.
- And then there, I have the impression that we have
a problem of competence with the Parliament.
But I think maybe we can
do something with article 225...
Eamon snorts.
-Thank you...
Leave this poor article 225
outside of all that.
-Yes... No, but it wasn't...
-Indeed, the powers of initiative
of Parliament are very limited.
In contrast,
we can probably
compose a bouquet of existing texts
which you will be free to name
"Blue Deal",
if you find that appropriate or sensible.
-Uh... It's not my idea, the name.
-We could put...
"Electric fishing ban".
- Yeah, absolutely!
Electric fishing looks horrible!
Fish Guantanamo!
-We have the fishing quotas...
- Fishing quotas, very good! Yeah yeah !
-Your finning, of course.
-Finning. Very well.
-The framework regulation
on accounting for natural assets
according to IFRS standards.
The.
-Yeah yeah ! That interests me!
Perfect. That's right ! It's technical,
it will give a little depth to the file.
-And we also have
the new IUU regulations...
Samy chuckles.
-Les "ayouyou" ?
-Les IUU.
-"Ayouyou"...
Ayouyouyouyou! Boarding!
-"Illegal, Unreported
and Unregulated fishing" :
les braconniers de la mer.
-Oui...
OK ! That's good, all that!
It is very good. Not bad.
- We could perhaps add...
the appointment of the directors of the
European maritime safety agency...
But maybe it's
a bit ambitious for you...
-No, that's fine! It is very good !
It's good. That interests us.
Yeah.
- Samy... -
Yes?
-Some of these files
are very complex.
-Oui.
-Perhaps you shouldn't
take on so much...
-No way ! No no !
We will take it very seriously.
You can trust us.
Thanks, Eamon.
...
- Yeah... Well, I think I
have everything I need.
-Already ?
-Already ?
-Well yeah...
- Well it's...
Yes it's good...
It's good, yes...
I'm not sure that...
I'm not sure that represents...
Mr. Specklin's sensibility.
-Yes, not sure that it represents
my personality, my sensitivity...
I do not know...
-I stayed
in the style of the predecessors.
-Uh...
Is...
Well, to be completely honest,
I feel...
You see, it's the
photographic aspect that limits us.
-That's to say ?
-Ladies and gentlemen,
I introduce you...
le Blue Deal !
-What is that ?
-All folders
which will constitute the Blue Deal
and which will therefore change
our relationship to the living.
- And the problem of competence?
-There is not any.
All the files have already
been proposed by the Commission,
and they are before Parliament.
-Bravo !
-Wow!
-I am impressed.
-Hm.
-Did you draw the dick
on my velleda painting?
-No, that's a skull.
-What are
the new accounting standards?
What does it mean ? What
are the new accounting standards?
- It's nothing special,
it's a technical subject.
It's good to have a technical subject
in a legislative package,
it gives thickness.
- So,
I don't fully understand the subject,
but I understand that
's a pretty bold proposition
in an attempt to overcome
the dual materiality of IFRS standards
with a new version
of the IRS 41 standard.
- Basically, that's it, more or less.
-Thank you Dragan,
it's very clear. Can you
give me a little note?
-Yes of course !
-Super, Samy.
On the other hand, try to control
the files that you bring to me.
-Sure.
-Mrs. Cantel,
I'll give you a brief note
or more comprehensive?
-Three pages is fine.
-OK.
- Samy, are you making coffee?
-Yes of course !
-You want some coffee ?
- Yes, gladly!
- Are you making us two coffees?
-Two coffees?
-Yes.
- Do you want some sugar?
-Yes why not ?
- A small cloud of milk, perhaps?
-Uh...
- No, are you okay? OK.
- Thank you, Samy.
- Well, I have to get rid
of an intern!
You know where I could find
a bad deputy
who can I
send it to for good?
What is that ?
-You said you needed me
to better understand feminism.
-I said that ?
-Samy,
I assure you, the time has come!
It's time for you to take a step back
and face your deeds
as an old male
noir and cisgenre.
- I'm not old!
Wait, am I old?
-It doesn't matter.
-Hello !
I'm looking for a certain Torsten
for our group.
-Third floor !
He is very busy.
-OK. Thanks a lot !
- Well, thank you very much for all your work,
but for now, my priority is...
What's this,
this part here?
- That, my friend...
This is the most complex aspect of the problem.
-Interesting...
-She, for example, she uses
objectification for her emancipation.
She passes from the status of an object
to that of agent of objectification,
therefore, roughly speaking,
it transforms objectification
into subjectification
by reclaiming sexual images
of the female body.
-Wow...
I who thought that the decisions
of the European Union were complicated...
-I say !
But wait until you see
gender and conformity!
It makes the regulations look like
nursery rhymes.
You know Sam...
I thought the FEMM commission
was all hot air, but...
In reality, she has to deal
with rather...complex things.
-The FEMM committee?
- Oh my God... I'm sorry!
You're right, it was disrespectful!
The FEMM committee, women's rights,
most people
consider it windy,
but I think we should push
for it to be...
- Is there a commission
for women's rights?
Wait, but that's where I'm going to find
a lame deputy for my intern!
-Nope ! This is exactly the kind of attitude
we need to change...
Gate.
-Thank you, Torsten!
-(It's better.)
It's good !
There is fantasy, there is...
I still wonder if it lacks
a little bit of color, anyway...
Or maybe the costume
is a little shy...
-I can change my tie, for example!
-Tie ?
I'm not sure
that's enough.
A moment...
Voilà.
- The costume cabinet!
-Oh no !
These are not disguises,
these are traditional costumes...
-Ho is!
-Offered by regional delegations
during their visit to Parliament.
Go ahead, touch! Touch!
Look at this !
Look at this !
- Ho there!
- Isn't that pretty?
So... -
Ouch ouch ouch!
- That's...
- That's...
It's got hold, as they say!
Look at this !
-We can do everything !
-Like one wants !
-Like this, like this, like this...
-AIE Aie Aie !
-You have to have a small reward
to give him after each effort.
I don't know...
Little sweet things, for example!
It worked for me for years
with the President of the Commission,
then it will work with him.
-I am told about a Blue Deal story,
too...
Do you know what this is about?
-Yes, a young MP
pulled that out of her hat,
she tries to show off.
She's French !
-And with what money does she count
the financier, her Blue Deal, as you say?
They've already done the trick to us
with agriculture.
- We have to keep an eye on that.
-Yes.
We'll put someone in his coalition.
We need a member who is
a little smart and responsive.
-Herman ?
- No, he is already
on a big transport file.
I can put Gesine "no no no"
in his paws,
If you want !
If that doesn't stop her, it will at least
certainly slow her down!
-Very well.
Next item...
The French are protesting because
all the high positions in the administration
would be held by Germans.
- My mother is Austrian!
-Not bad !
I will answer them!
- But is that how it is?
Is there a
CV and interview selection system?
Something a little more classic?
- Don't be old fashioned, Dragan, listen...
That's how it's done today.
It is in contact that it is played.
Don't you want to be an intern all your life?
-Nope !
-No ! Come on, let's get a little crazy!
Good day Mrs ! An assistant ?
He speaks four languages!
Madam, an assistant?
Sir, an assistant?
He speaks four languages,
he studied at Sciences Po, the College of Europe,
he speaks Polish, Russian... What do you speak?
-Serbian.
-Serb?
He speaks Serbian. A Serb, sir?
Do your part, too, Dragan...
Wait, come.
Hello Sir.
Excuse me for disturbing you,
I present to you Dragan,
a great parliamentary assistant!
He did the Collegue d'Europe, Sciences Po,
he speaks four languages...
Maybe it can interest you?
- No, that's nice, I'm not interested.
-OK.
-Uh...
In fact, it is too small.
Size.
-OK.
On the heels!
I'll give you his CV anyway,
if you're interested...
- A well in front of the gate...
There is a linden tree...
Someone's knocking at the door.
-Mrs. Breschenschneider,
I bring you the list of votes
for the plenary.
-Ah !
So...
Uh no.
No.
Telephone.
No. Um yes ?
Oh !
Martin! Oh ! Yes !
It's a surprise, then!
-Dear Gesine, you should join
the Blue Deal project, I assure you!
*-Le Blue Deal ?
-Yes, you see, to watch a little
what the French are up
to once again.
*-I'll look at it more closely.
-Yes, while being vigilant,
of course.
*-I keep my assistant informed.
The Blue Deal, very well, it is noted!
*Thank you, Martin!
It is always a pleasure to speak with...
Porte.
*Hello ?
*You are still here ?
-Yeah!
It was rough, but...
I knew we had one in reserve.
Oh...
Yes, Martin?
...
-He looks so sad!
-Hmm...
Did you know that men
see a woman's body
as a sum of different parts,
and women,
that of men as a whole?
- No, I didn't know.
But it's very feminine magazine,
so I'll try to forget it,
if you do not mind.
- That's why you compliment me
never on my calves...
However, they are beautiful!
-Yes, I know.
- No one notices
my pretty wrists either!
-Whether ! Me, yes!
- You haven't even looked at them!
- But I know they are pretty.
- Anyway, I
I don't see you as the sum
of different parts of a body.
-Thanks.
-And I don't objectify you.
-What ?
-I mean
that I don't see you as a sex object.
-Cool.
-Yeah !
I don't want to mansplain
either, but...
Quoi ?
-What's this ?
What is that ?
- No, but that's nothing!
-Raise your hand.
-Nope !
Rose, it's my hand!
-Sorry, I shouldn't have asked.
Sorry, I objected to you.
-No, I have...
Have you heard
of toxic masculinity?
Non ?
It's a hassle, huh!
The cow...
