03x03 - Ego to absolvo

[bunniefuu]

-Hello!
-Hello!

-We want to ask you
to watch the series in original version.

We work in lots of languages, so if

you watched in original version, it would be nice.

-We can say that nicely, right?
-We can, but it's just...

It's complicated here.
There's a bit of everything and...

-But
it's not their fault.

Samy, see...

At the same time, he is right:
it's prettier. Watch in original version.

Samy, are you okay?

-Ah!

Here, well...
-Hi.

Are you going to ignore me?
-Are you going to apologize?

-I just did my job, I...
-So yes, I'm ignoring you.

You could have warned me, Rose.
-Warn you?

And the independence of the press?
-Do you have principles now?

You are
flirting with an employee

of the politician
you're gossiping about.

-It is
precisely you who...

-Hello.
-[Keep your lessons...]

-[Later!]

-You don't even work for her!
-Yes, officially!

-You moonlight for a
minister and another group

at the same time. and you're talking about principles?

You do your usual job and
that of someone else in the shadows.

-We're both corrupt.
You betrayed me, huh!

-No!

My career matters less to
you because I'm a woman.

-Please!

Is that your argument?
-It is completely valid.

-Hi.

-Are you...

-No!
-No!

-Ah...

Finally something
interesting is happening here!

*-Valentine Cantel cannot
be confirmed as commissioner.

*If she were, her mandate would
be tainted by a true original sin.

-Yes.

Yes.

Obviously! Of
course we'll manage that!

It's a storm
in a glass of water.

Exactly, I'm
preparing for my second audition...

Yes, of course, Alex...

Yes.

"Mr.
Secretary General".

Damn!

-So?
-OK, it was the Elysée.

We allies push
the PR to propose

another name, they say that, for me, it's bent.

All because of

that b*tch journalist!

-"as*h*le",

yes, but...

She wasn't fair
at all, that's true.

Yes, she's a b*tch.

Okay, I'm going to go talk to Gesine
to try to negotiate something.

-Will you fix it for me, please?
-Yeah, yeah.

Yes, of course.

-No shame!

...

-sh*t!
I'm hallucinating!

Can I
offer you a coffee?

-I have to speak to Gesine to tell her

that Valentine didn't
want to have the questions.

I took this initiative alone...
-So? You go out together ?

-With Valentine?
-No, you and Rose.

-No.

-You like her stupid
photos and she

commented on your stupid post with a private joke.

Is that how you flirt?
-Can you stop stalking us?

-Is that an equivalent of nude?

-Well, if I tell you everything about us, will you let me in?

-Yes.

-You're lying.
-Obviously.

-OK.

It doesn't matter,
I'll just wait there.

-I don't think
you're in a relationship.

You're cute...

-Huh?

-But you look messy.
She's too classic for you.

She would never have published this
compromising her boyfriend, it's horrible!

-I'll wait in silence, okay?

Take care of your work.

-A problem? Why
are you tense all of a sudden?

-I'm not tense.
-Sure?

-Yes.

-Gesine is out, by the way.
-Damn...

She's really annoying!

-Your candidate was responsible
for austerity measures in Greece.

Sending it to Athens
would be a mistake!

-On the contrary!

He knows the country,
he is perfectly qualified.

-But in
terms of image...

-At the Greens, we...
-Excuse me.

I'm lost here.

We had an agreement, right? My political

group must appoint the director of the office in Athens.

This is not
a subject for debate.

-Among the Greens...

-Perhaps the President would
like to share his opinion on the subject?

-The position of
the president, that's...

-No, Martin.

We want to
hear from the president.

Mr. President, what do

you think of
the nomination in Athens?

-How to say...

-We are
talking about Greece.

-Fat?
-Yes.

-It is well known: there

are good fats and bad fats.

As I always say to my
wife: I don't discriminate.

-Short.

I think we can
move to the next point.

-Here, Eamon!

-Samy. I
was just thinking of you.

This morning, upon arriving
at Parliament, I said to myself:

"How far he is, the novice who knocked

on my door "at the slightest difficulty." -Yeah.

-"Who called for help
without looking for any solution."

-Time passes.

-I know you are independent today,
and that fills me with satisfaction.

-Great! Eamon, I just wanted
to ask you for some advice, if...

-Have a nice day, Samy.
-No?

-Carissimo!

Como stai?

Come on!

Come!

-I believe in democracy, I

trust the institutions, the system, the rules.

With Eamon,
we find solutions.

But there, the parliamentary

system kills the candidacy of... Wow!

-Hm hm?

-Short.

We should put
pressure on the

deputies who harm him: the Italian and the Hungarian.

-Hm...

Come with me.

Come on, follow me!

-It's hot, isn't it?
-We are next to the boiler room.

-Oh good?

And the smoke is...
-This is the boiler room.

-Guido, there
are no dirty things that we...

-Laypeople think that you have
to make people bend by force

when you just have to invite them
to do so with the right words.

-No! We're
doing as we planned!

Athens is for the
Germans! Yes, I confirm!

-Konrad needs to stop
this! Michel is humiliated!

His behavior is
a disservice to Parliament!

-You know that Michel
is far from up to par.

-He has lots of human qualities...
-Insufficient for this position.

Elect a clown as president,
that's what does Parliament a disservice.

-You claim to act
for the good of the institution?

-Obviously.
-Seriously!

-Come to your senses.

When Konrad wins, he
will have your future in his hands.

Do you want to land in an office
in Vilnius or who knows where?

Would you like to dig a bunker
while waiting for the Russian tanks?

What?

-For now, it's
Michel again, the president.

Maybe we can
both do well.

-What is that?

Is this a church?
-[This is a meditation room.

[But as I told you, here,
nothing is called by its name.

[There, the Catholics
say their novena.

[They are wedged between the Asr
and the Maghrib of the Muslims.

[Afterwards, there is a
vipassana yoga class.]

-It's crazy to have this
here! It's a public institution!

-Sti francesi...

[Samy!]
-[Yes.]

[You must always remember
that Europe is not France.

[Adenauer, De Gasperi, [Spaak...]

-[Who?]

-[Paul Henri Spaak.

[The fathers of the Union
were all devout Catholics.]

-[What are we doing here?]
-[We pray.]

-[Shall we pray? Is this your
plan to get Valentine through?]

Guido, I don't have much time!
-Shh!

-[Zayer and Panuto!]

-[If you want to coax
the Christian Democrats,

[learn their language, their belief system.

[What is the most important
value in the Catholic Church?]

-[It's not kindness,
but it's something like that...

[The...]
-[Forgiveness.]

-It's the same!

-[The path to redemption,
this is the request for forgiveness.

[Valentine must recognize
having sinned out of pride.

[And pride, this
is very, very forgivable.]

-[She just needs to ask for
forgiveness and they will accept?]

-[If God himself forgives,
why would they refuse?]

-Of
course!

-[Shh!]

-I...
-There you go.

-Am...

I'm
sorry.

I'm
sorry if you

felt offended.
-No, no, no!

-It's
an apology!

-Do not repent for them,
admit you made a mistake.

-Remember the 3 steps.
-Confession of sins,

contrition, acceptance of penance.
-There you go.

Example. Step 1: “I should
never have said those things.”

-It was in private!
-No!

We're losing the Protestants there.
-And northern Europe.

-Protestants, are they
the ones with long beards?

-It's the Orthodox.

-The Protestants,
those are the sinister ones.

-That's the Commission.
-Very funny!

Here we go again!
-Step 2,

contrition:

"I feel deeply sorry."
-I have no reason to be.

-We understand, okay?
That, we understood.

-Step 3:

"I leave it to your judgment."
-But f*ck them!

-We're not going to spend hours there!

These are techniques

of the founding fathers!

We just have to
try to play a role.

We change our attitude, as if
you weren't really saying it yourself.

It's a character.
Come on, let's try!

-I am...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry
that you don't

understand that I am the best candidate.

-I'm going to take a break. I'm
going to have some soup or something.

Come on.

-Okay...

I think we'll
be able to start again.

Item 12 on the agenda:

next year's budget. I would

like to offer a clean cut of 15% on all...

-There is point 11.B
to deal with before that.

-I don't see point 11.B.

-The president just added it.

-I'm not very comfortable
with these unexpected changes.

-Yes, but you are
not president. Not yet.

The
president would like to

suggest a candidate for the

position of director of cohesion: Ms.

Ilsa Grassmann.

white]-I object. -And
for what reason?

white]-I was not consulted.
-But Ilsa worked with you

white]for five years, I think. -That's right.

-And you place the skill above all other criteria.

yellow]-Absolutely.
-And since we all care about the interest of the institution,

you will have no problem
with his appointment?

Okay.

Okay. Someone else ?

No?

Italian.
-[Shh!]

-Not so bad, Bernadette
Soubirous's disguise!

-I declare the 2nd
hearing open. Ms.

Cantel, you have 10 minutes.
-I'm not going to need

white]10 minutes. Because
I only have one thing

white]to tell you.
I am..

.

white]sorry.
-What did you say?

Care to repeat?

-I'm sorry for the poor

taste statement I
made to the journalists.

It was inappropriate.

-Deputy Panuto, it’s up to you.

-I...

Are you
sincere, Ms. Cantel?

-Absolutely sincere.

-Good. THANKS.
-No.

Thank you,
Professor Panuto.

-Was that your idea?
-No, it came from her.

-Deputy Zayer,
your question?

Deputy Zayer?

-I have no further
questions, Mrs.

President. Ms.

Cantel was very clear.

-I have a question.
You're sorry, you said it.

And you are right
to be. On the other

hand, how are you trustworthy enough to

be entrusted with a position as delicate as this?

-Well...

I worked a lot on...
-Apologizing is not always enough.

-I think...
-Everyone can say sorry.

-I think...
-These could be hollow words.

-Can I speak?

Sorry.

-We're sorry too.

Ms. Cantel, do you
have something to add?

We understood that you
were sorry, but it remains...

-I'm French, okay.

We understand nothing
about parliamentary democracy.

We give power to a man
who alone runs the country.

All this
is foreign to us.

We hear nothing of compromise,
to alliances, to consensus.

This is what France is sick with,

hence the number of demonstrations.

The French
political system is

in decay, and I am a pure product of it.

Yes, what
I said was

unacceptable, and I...

I owe you an apology.

In reality, I
owe you even more than that.

I owe you respect.

Because nothing in Europe is done
without the European Parliament.

Deputies approve laws.

And if I become commissioner,
we will have to work together.

If you accept my
application, of course.

So...

Here, I...

I rely on you and...

My destiny is in your hands. Your decision will be right,

because it will be the decision
of the people speaking through you.

Thank you.

-Hello.

Are you taking
over Stefan's office?

-It's crazy I
hate speaking French.

I am the new
director of cohesion, yes.

-And you
don't like French?

-What a horror!

No.

- This is one of the
working languages ​​of the EU.

-Yes, we need to get
rid of this stupid rule.

-I will do this as a priority,

with the move of Parliament.

-Hello. I'm a bit lost.
I have to table this amendment...

-Which
party is this for?

-The Republican
Left of Catalonia.

-Ah! Take a left when exiting,
and at the end of the corridor, to the right.

-OK!

-I'm not going to
waste my time with an

amendment from a left
party that will never pass.

I have other
things to take care of.

-Miss? Miss ?
-Yes?

-Maybe I can
take a look?

-OK,
I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have published the
article. The couple comes before the rest.

-No, it's my fault.
I didn't react well.

You were just doing your job and...
-It's really no big deal.

-OK.

-What I wanted you
to know, I miss you.

-Oh! "I miss you my love !"
-What?

-Damn!
-You are so old fashioned

how embarrassing!
-You want to blackmail us?

-What? Nobody
cares, of your crush.

You have no influence
here. You are terribly ordinary.

German song.

...

-How crazy, that one!
-Are we good?

-Yes, I think so.
You apologized, so...

-I did it because
I believed that

you had taken the first step by taking my hand.

-So you betrayed me?
-You said you reacted badly!

-But because you apologized!
I wanted to be a bit of a gentleman!

-Oh! What a gentleman!
-Yeah!

-Do you find us banal?
It suits me very well, to be one!

-Me too.
-So much the better.

-Ooh...

Disgusting!

-Are you serious?
-Why are you filming us?

-I don't know!

When you find a dead
bird and you try to touch it...

It's disgusting,
but despite that, you continue.

-Yeah, yeah.

-No one does that!
-Yeah, who does that? It is...
