03x04 - Le grand départ

Post by bunniefuu »

-Hi, I'm Rose, and we would really

appreciate if you
watched the series in original version.

Otherwise, it will be doubled, but

as a result, you will listen
to this voice

that we hear there, but which is not mine.

It's very strange to realize
that my voice is not my own.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank God.

This is much better.

Much
better. No!

-Gilles, do you know
how we resign from here?

Hm?

-It's a trap!

I don't see any other explanation.
-What are you talking about?

-Like when
Pinocchio goes to the

land of toys and ends
up working in a circus.

The Commission is a trap!
-You're paranoid, old man.

-It was already offered
to me, the Commission.

-Oh good?

It's funny. Why

didn't you go there?

-I go there whenever I want, there!
-Ah well...

What's wrong with
you? Are you crying?

-No.

I'm going to work.

-What the hell are you doing?
-I bypass your ego.

-According to this projection,
only our group will vote for us.

-Why?

Is this Specklin so popular?

-When you study the numbers, it
seems that everyone hates the Germans.

-It's crazy! We
didn't do anything to them!

-We must sully

Specklin's reputation.

Investigate his private life
and find something to discredit him.

-Who are you again?

-You're looking for a
strategy advisor, it seems.

-It's my job.

-I will find
something to compromise him.

Then I will stick his
head in his excrement.

-Do you have experience

in this area?

-Katia Hoffman, in 2nd grade.

She changed schools, closed her social

networks, and we
never heard from her again.

red]Squealing.

white]-Oh!

-I need a new badge.

Me before.

Me now.

Here's the man people
should see on my badge.

-But you are wearing a mask.
-My new identity.

I am an MP for the
delegative democracy party.

-OK. Is she allowed to
wear a mask on her badge?

I ask my boss.
-Useless, I ask the people.

Citizens of Europe! In your

opinion, with or without the mask?



and 14 against.

The citizens voted.

It's a real
democracy, now.

...

Are you
leaving us, Samy?

-Well... Yeah.
But how do you know?

-Your silence
has betrayed you.

You have accustomed me to appearing here

expecting a volley of
contradictory questions

hinting at the worrying
intentions of your deputy.

-"Of concern", not always.

-And your new shoes, Italian.

-Um... Yes. How do you know ?

-Typical cracking of Ligurian factories.

-Very good. In
any case, I have a question.

I have a resignation
letter. Who do I address it to?

-Send an email to
the relevant office in Luxembourg.

-Too bad, I wrote
a great resignation letter.

And if I leave
Parliament without

warning, it's a bit hot, isn't it?

-Hard to believe
that the institution will recover.

And yet...

-Okay, you're being
sarcastic. It's very funny.

I thought you couldn't,
with the neutrality of your post.

-But you are no longer
part of the institution.

-Okay.

You're
upset that I'm leaving.

Say it,
it's not shameful.

I will still read to you
my resignation letter.

"Dear friends and colleagues,
there comes a time in life..."

-Excuse me.

I have a question: I
wrote an amendment on a

directive, and my MP
has to consult shadows.

But I don't know what it is,
and on the Internet it's not clear.

-It's not clear, no.

And we're a little busy here.
-Ah, OK.

Sorry.

-That's
crazy! Young people...

What?

Eamon!

-Miss!

Miss!

-No! Monday,
he conference of presidents.

Then he has quiet time, then
review of the day with Herr Kraft.

So...

-And Tuesday?
-Tuesday?

No! No no !
Tuesday is jam-packed!

In the morning, he has outdoor activity
on the terrace to get some fresh air.

Then, the administrators,

then the point with Herr Kraft,

then meat lunch to stock up on protein.

The
afternoon is rest, that's it.

Rest followed by a quiet

time, because it digests meat poorly.

-And what is Thursday?
-That? It's sports.

-Sports?

-Yes, sport.

Sport is important!
-Yes...

-He goes to the gym.

Yes.

-Here's my badge.

And here is my weapon.

I'm hanging up my
gloves, commissioner.

Sorry.

I am resigning for the Commission
and I wanted to return my badge.

-I don't know if I'm supposed
to take back the badges.

It is automatically
demagnetized. You can keep it.

-I'm not going to throw it away,
though! It's not very eco-friendly, too.

Keep it as a souvenir. I'm going
to the Commission, did I tell you?

I resigned, I'm
going to the Commission.

Come on, I'll leave you.

Hands up, rabbit skin.

It works. Good.

Goodbye.
-Goodbye.

-Wait...

I wrote a resignation letter,
she deserves better than ending up in spam

of an intern.

"Dear friends and colleagues, there
comes a moment in the life of a

man" when the question of his
ambitions arises urgently for him ."

Sorry,
I'm a little emotional.

"Some, in another
era, talked about destiny.

"Some will say that
this destiny, this desire,

"this breath which carries
us, we must know how

to grasp it, to grasp it seize, "follow and sublimate it."

-I'll try again.

Test, test, test.

Very good.

I'll start with
the most important

question: What's going on, Torsten?

-I was elected a member of Parliament
thanks to a vote in Slovenia.

The party chooses the
candidates by drawing lots.

-Draw?
Like the lottery?

-Yes, it's
a political experiment.

There is a policy problem: it has become too abstract,

because the people themselves
do not have access to it.

There is far too much corruption and

no transparency: everyone is talking, talking...

So we want to hand

over politics to the people.

We call it
liquid democracy.

They think...
They vote... I execute.

-OK.

And what is this ridiculous costume, ?

-Do I look ridiculous?

Oh!

That's so nice!

You had 123 dislikes.
-I see.

So you film H24.
-I'm not filming anything.

It's democracy in action
with real-time comments.

Besides, 12
people hate your top.

-Hello. I need a badge.
-Do you work here?

-No, but soon.
-So you don't work here.

-Uh... Yes, but...
-So no badge.

-OK. It's the chicken or the egg... -No, it's the chicken

and the egg: a job, a badge. It's the European Commission.

The rules are
clear, no ambiguity.

-OK.

-Can I see your badge?
-This is my Parliament badge.

-Indeed, Parliament obtained the

right to freely enter the
Commission 6 months ago.

-I didn't know about it!
-We remain discreet on this point.

Rome had not told the Visigoths
that the city was disarmed.

-The Visigoths...

*-After the w*r, *the French

sought to pacify
Franco-German

relations *and
prevent Germany

from leading a new w*r *against France.

*This is why
French personalities will want to

replace *conflictual
relationships with

relationships of interdependence,
*notably via CED project

or the ECSC, *which
will become the historical date...

-[I heard something!]
-[What?]

[It's just us!]

-Hi, Valentine! It’s
Samy! I hope it's okay.

I left messages for the
team but I got no response.

I saw that you saw, so
I'm wondering if everything is okay.

Keep me posted,
I'm in the area.

-Shh!

Shh!

-[Don't hesitate
to keep me informed.

[And then there you
go. I hope it's okay. Bye.]

Um...

Hello everyone.
Sorry for the delay.

Ms. Cantel is
very busy following

white]the tensions with the
Americans. Moreover, she is

discussing with her counterpart in Washington to find

white]a favorable outcome.
If you have any questions,

white]please.
Whoa! All right !

One by one!

Veronika,
"Financial Times"?

Exactly!

Yes, yes.

As I said, the EU must
stand up to its strategic rivals,

and there is no question
of the latter deciding for us .

How? Astrid? THANKS.
It's a gift from my girlfriend.

I'm in a relationship,
yes. Who said that?

She's
not a Frenchwoman.

On the secret list of the 50
sexiest guys in Brussels?

I didn't know about it.
That may be true, but...

-Sir?
-Yes?

-You can't stay here. We

are preparing the press conference.

-I was
testing the microphone.

It doesn't work. Oh yes !
It was the button. THANKS.

Ah, there you are! I was trying to reach

you on WhatsApp! -We switched to Signal.

More secure.

-Is this a Commission badge?
-Yes, that's my badge.

-Why do you...

Valentine!

I couldn't get a badge.
Do you know why I... Valentine?

-Samy! How are you ?
-It's okay,

but I couldn't reach you.
-I wanted

to call you, but I was taken,
it's the race.

-No worries, I
was able to walk around a bit.

- This is the revised
version of the ad.

The dircab has some suggestions.
-He'll have to calm down.

He's not going to cop me.
-Miguel is also on the team?

-The press is here.

Shall we go there?
-Yes. Come on, everyone on stage!

-Valentine?

-Don't make things
more complicated.

Valentine has chosen
an international team to

facilitate her negotiations with
the other general managements.

-It wasn't planned.

-This is not Parliament here.
We are not looking for compromise.

Here efficiency reigns.

Ms. Cantel

quickly adopted

white]local customs.
-Valentine!

-Hop hop hop!

Stand still!

-What's going on?

-PC security, a shady individual with
a strange badge in the small living room!

*-Who's talking there?
-It's Patrick! I said that...

-Look.

-Empty your pockets!

-I have
the right to be here!

I have a Parliament
badge! We have access, eh!

*-Michel! Michael!
*-Gesine! Gesine!

-Oh mein Gott...

Lord!

-Excuse me.

A double Scotch.
-We don't serve alcohol here.

-A mojito, then.

-It's still alcohol.

-And how do we work?
-We'll have two herbal teas, thank you.

Could we use this against him?

-No.

-You want
to protect Gesine?

-He's a Frenchman.

Accusing a French politician
of adultery, is

like accusing a Luxembourgers to cheat the tax authorities.

No one
would see the problem.

-Hello, hello!
Are you two okay? It going ?

If you knew!

I spent the afternoon debating
Europe with a Frenchman!

It's an
exhausting activity!

-And what was the
conversation about?

-Always
the same thing!

They refuse
any enlargement.

They only
want deepening!

I also like to go
in depth, I admit.

But if we encourage more people

to join us, could be nicer, right?

-I feel sluggish.

-What?

Well
what's wrong with her?

-Go ahead, Gilles. Make
your jokes, let's get it over with.

-No joke, my friend.

Tomorrow, perhaps.
But not today.

Come on.

There you go.

Let yourself go.
You're safe here.

There you go.

There, that feels good.

-Thank you.

-I know.

I know.

They don't deserve
you over there, anyway.

Come on.

-Thank you.
-I have something to cheer you up.

-Gilles...
-No!

*-For the first time, *citizens had the

opportunity to write
my speech in their own way.

*Collectively, thanks to

* software designed for the occasion.

*So
this is their voice.

*"Democracy

*"Only 50% of Europeans

"Bureaucracy

"That from an airplane, we

*"If it were a globe,
we could definitely see it.

*"It's
just common sense.

*"Regarding the pyramids,

-You would have been disappointed to miss this.
-Yeah.

-We're not that
bad, in Parliament.
