Disco has taken the city by storm.
What do you think is so special about this type of music?
Disco is the biggest thing since the Beatles, man.
Disco saved my life.
It's gonna go down in history as being so life-saving.
At the centre of it all is the Starlight.
Celebrating its 3rd anniversary,
one could say this was the first disco in North America.
Yes, sir! We were like Christopher Colombus, you know?
We discovered disco.
We were the first ones to play disco music in 1973.
That's Gilles Lefebvre,
the renowned record producer of some of
Quebec's most successful music stars of the '60s
and now owner of the famous Starlight,
accompanied by his son.
No, Daniel owns the disco.
Me, I'm only having fun here,
you know, with the sexy women, the red carpet, the stars and...
(Chuckling)
Everything you touch turns to gold!
What's your secret'?
Balls. You need balls.
Big ones.
At the Starlight, there is no mafia involved.
The police, they protect us.
We even have a special floor, a special floor for the homos!
So bring your family and friends to Montreal
and come see us at the Starlight.
Yes.

How nice for you.
Can we get in with you guys'? We just lost our place in line.
And, uh, I'm the one who told you
to wear the white fur coat, remember'?
(Chuckling)
Honey, no one tells me what to wear.
Well, you guys coming or what'?
Oh, Yes. Oh my God Yes!
Yes, yes. Thank you, thank you.

Adriana. Nice to meet you.
Bastien, it's been ages! How the hell are ya?
Nicole! I read somewhere that you were dead.
Ah! No such luck, toots!
(Laughing)
Adriana, I've been lookin' all over for you.
Our guest is getting lonely.
A bigwig from New York.
Adriana might be the new face of Lancome.
Really?
Run along!
Bastien and I have business to take care of.
Hmm... No, we don't.
Yes, we do.
It was a pleasure to finally meet you.
Do you have a card?
Everybody knows who I am.
Oh!
♫ Heaven must be missin' an angel ♫
♫ Missing one angel child... ♫
You promise to drop the ego trip,
give me a call.
♫ Your love is heavenly, baby... ♫
So! I was watching your show the other night,
and I couldn't help notice that it lacks pizzazz.
Now, don't get me wrong. It's brilliant.
But truthfully, Bastien, there's too much dancing.
Nicole, the show ls called Disco Dance Party.
You take out the dancing, there's no party.
You need a fashion segment hosted by Adriana.
Jonathan does a fashion segment.
He does trends and not very good ones.
Sorry. Plus Adriana doesn't even speak French.
Use subtitles. People don't wanna read TV.
Oh, I need a little help here!
I don't know what to do with her anymore.
You just told me that
she might be the new face of Lancome.
Well, she doesn't know that Farrah Fawcett's in the running too.
She's in the big leagues now. She'll find something else.
She's 25. That's ancient in model years!
Her skin's blotchy, she's gaining weight.
Girl eats like a horse.
No, I tell her: "Adriana, eat all you want
"so long as you throw up afterward."
I even put 2 of my own fingers down her throat after a meal,
but nothing!
The girl has no gag reflex.
♫ Heavenly to me... ♫
Yeah!
Move! All right.
Scratch, work your magic.

Hi.
Tina and Tino. Tino.
You guys are terrific. Thank you.
We never miss your show. We're huge fans.
I-low would you like to be on the show?
That's an excellent choice!
You know, these 2 are actually a part of my gang.
She told me to wear the white fur tonight.
I won't hold that against you.
(Laughing)
Kids, go at the bar.
I've got some people
I want you to meet. Scoot on.
Thank you so much.
Thanks!
You're welcome.
Don't think you're gonna get away with this.
With what? You stole my spot.
I was supposed to give out
free fabulous Yohji Yamamoto T-shirts.
What the fuck am I gonna do with 5 boxes
of crummy made-in-China Yohji Yamamoto shirts?
Sorry, Jonathan. It was a last-minute thing, you know.
You don't want wanna find yourself on my out list, hm♫?
Good boy.
You see? Manners.
No manners. Manners.
Yeah, yeah.
Can you believe this is happening?

Good morning.
Morning.
The bus will be here any minute.
Thanks, but in case you haven't noticed,
I'm old enough to tell time.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
You overslept.
Why didn't you wake me?
You come right home after school.
Yeah, yeah.
Girl's getting such an attitude!
She seems fine to me.
That's because you're never here.
What time did you crawl in last night?
I don't know.
You going back tonight?
It's Thursday.
You know I have to make an appearance.
Why don't you come too?
Don't pretend like you want me there.
What is a car you could never afford doing in our driveway?
That's the car of my dreams.
One of the show's sponsors got it for me. It's free.
Gonna go hit the shower.
The show? I thought you were done with the show.
Serge is not coming back so I took the job full time.
But what about the play?
You know there's no money in theatre, Connie.
So after all the sacrifices we made,
you're just gonna give up acting?
Did I say that?
I'll do both.
Don't be late.
Right.
So you're gonna do the play, the parties,
the Starlight appearances, the radio show and the TV show?
When do you plan on being home?
Bastien!
You're the sexiest woman alive, you know that?
(sighing)
Come here and kiss me.
Oh, God!
Come on, give it to me.

Hello?
We're taping Disco Dance Party tonight.
And? My spies tell me
that the guy with the big ego would like you to be there.
What for?
My spies tell me they have a surprise for you.
What type of surprise?
You'll have to show up to find out.
Can I talk to you about something, Mom?
Mom?
It's all too much, Tino.
What are you talking about? Business is booming.
You should be happy.
What good is money if I can't enjoy it?
I haven't had one day off since your father died.
So take some time off. I'll take care of things around here.
Between running around with your girlfriend,
running out to the disco, when are you ever here?
That's not fair. I quit school to come help you out.
What is it that you wanted to tell me?
Nothing. I'll tell you when you're less tired.
I'm always tired, so tell me.
Me and Tina won a dance contest.
A dance contest. Yeah.
When are you gonna start acting like a man?
We're gonna be on TV, Ma!
Don't you want to even know when it's on?
When you be on TV instead of being here,
I'll know.
(Man): There's no way this city could ever go broke...
(Jonathan): Everybody who's anybody goes there.
It's a party place in the summer.
We were invited to her house, which is a palace.
Now, Princess Grace is absolutely miserable.
She'd rather be doing movies.
Her daughter is such a slut. You have no idea.
Oh my god! Aren't you that kid who won the dance contest?
Yeah. You should see him.
He's an amazing dancer. Join us, join us.
Oh, I gotta work. Oh.
You can take a break.
I really-- I gotta get back to--
Yo, T!
Hey!
What's shakin?
You coming to Starlight tonight?
Fuckin' love the place!
You just gotta look away when you pass by the fag floor.
Yeah, right. You always wanna go in there.
Shut your fuckin' mouth.
Want me to bust your face like I do to the fags?
(Mother): Tino!
All right, have a seat.
What?
I don't want your boyfriends in here.
They are fighting.
Jokin' around.
I don't like those type of jokes.
You hate everything about me.

I have a shoot in London and, um...

Give her a break. She's nervous.
I'll tell you what other project you have, though.

I gotta work all day. Let's go.
I can come.

Hey, Tino.
Maybe you should check out the, uh, bridge sometime.
No, don't play innocent.
You know exactly what I'm talking about.

Oui?
I just wanted to say thank you.

I can't believe you did that for me.
I mean, I've always wanted to be on TV.
I know.
How did you know?
I read minds.
Oh.

There's that ego again.
You know, we're gonna have to tame that ego.

It's OK.
Ma?
Why is the restaurant closed? What happened?
Nothing happened.
What do you mean? It's 10:00 on a Saturday night.
You can't close this early.
We were short-staffed.
I had to turn down a group of 20 so I decided to close.
You were short-staffed because of me?
Ma, did you even watch the show?
Well, maybe you should have, because I was a big hit.
You could've been proud.
Do you think your father would have been proud
to see his son dancing like a clown on TV
instead of being at work?
Ma, don't bring Pop into this. He's dead.
The dead can see, Tino.
Ma, please!
And it's as clear to me that you can't be counted on.
Ma, I told you I was going to the show
and I was coming right back.
If the family business can't count on you
then you can't count on it either.
What does that mean?
I don't want to see you at the restaurant anymore.
I'll find a replacement.
You'll replace me?
You're kidding, right?

How about we end with: None of your fucking business.

You know what it's like.
He just gets caught up in things and forgets. Come on!
Why don't you just leave me the fuck alone?
You know what? That's it!
You're not going anywhere.
You're going back in that house, that's where you're going!

Jonathan.
Hello.
Hey. How are you?
Fabulous, as always.
And you? What are you doing here?
You out for a night on the town?
Yeah, thought I'd let it all hang out tonight.
Oh. Well, Bastien isn't here.
Oh, I wasn't looking for Bastien.
♫ I dont love you... ♫
(Chuckles)
He, uh, he called me 4 days ago
to tell me he was going to an industry party,
and I haven't heard from him since.
♫ My mind must be free ♫
♫ To learn all I can about me... ♫
He hasn't been home in 4 days?
♫ Mmm ♫
♫ I'm gonna love me ♫
Do you know where he is?
♫ For the rest of my days ♫

(Bastien) This is music, man.
Not that disco shit I have to listen to
night in and night out...
♫ Don't do anything at all ♫
...at the Starlight...
♫ Go ask Alice ♫
...on my fucking show.
♫ When she's 10-feet tall... ♫
On the goddamn street, from every fuckin' loudspeakers,
disco, disco, disco, disco.
(Laughing, echoing)
Fucking sucks, man!
♫ And you know you're going to fall ♫
♫ Tell them a hookah-smoking caterpillar ♫
The lyrics are bullshit, the music is bullshit.
♫ Has given you a call... ♫
What happened to the Janis Joplin of the world?
The Doors?
Jefferson fucking Airplane?
When did we let those goddamn, cock-sucking,
disco cunts take over?
♫ Get up and tell you Where to go ♫
♫ And you just had some kind of mushroom I.♫
♫ And your mind is moving slow ♫
♫ Go ask Alice ♫
(Adriana) I always wanted to be a singer.
♫ I think she'll know ♫
When I was a kid, I'd put on these shows in my living room.
♫ When logic and proportion ♫

♫ I got you, babe ♫

♫ I got you, babe ♫
♫ And the White knight is talking backwards ♫

(Chuckling)
Come here. I have to tell you something.
(sighing)
But I don't want you to get upset.
Hmm...
(sighing)
Those cocksuckers at the network...
(sighing)
They don't want you back in the fall.
I was gonna quit anyway.
You were?
You think I like looking like a complete idiot?
Just good at posing and flirting,
showing off my ass?
(Chuckles)
Yeah.
But it's so beautiful.
(Grunts)
What?
Your ass.
It's magnificent.
(sighing)
(Siren in distance)
(Shower running)
(♫ Jazz on stereo ♫)
♫ It's so great ♫
♫ After working late ♫
♫ Running on empty ♫
♫ Pleasing, straining ♫

♫ No more show... ♫
(Birds chirping)
Shit!
(Keys jingling)
(Door rattling)
Connie, did you change the locks?
It's me!
Babe, come on! I know you're in there.
(Sniffling)
Come on, Connie. The dope is not mine.
It's Daniel at the Starlight. He gives it to everybody.
And you know Adriana is just a friend.
We work together and the picture was for the show.
(Door rattling)
Babe, listen, I'm sorry for the last few days,
but something came up.
It was for work.
Connie!
(Knocking)
(sighing)
(Dog barking)
Babe, let me in!
I'm in a rush!
(Sniffling, sobbing)
You know what? Fuck this.
(Birds chirping)
How many times do I have to tell you,
not on the lips.
I'm not gay.
Oh, sorry. With your cock up my ass every night,
it's easy to forget.
That doesn't make me queer. That makes you queer.
(Chuckling)
I'll make a mental note of that.
Tina won't let me touch her till we get married
and I won't cheat on her.
Oh, so having sex with me is not cheating.
This isn't sex.
I'm just... just playing around.
I mean, sex is between a man and a woman.
There's affection involved.
Oh. Well, why I don't just throw you out of here,
I'll never know.
Look, I'm fine during the day, but at night,
you know, I see her hanging there.
Why don't you sell?
What, the house?
The house, the restaurant
and every other wretched thing that's tying you down.
What? No way.
I'm not selling what my mother worked so hard for.
I'm not leaving.
Well, she left.
Yeah, well, maybe had I been more attentive,
she wouldn't have.
Listen, why don't you live your life for a change,
do what you do best, dance.
That's easy for you to say,
but some of us actually have to work to make a living.
Well, dance professionally, I mean.
I know some of the best dance teachers in New York.
We could go down there and I could introduce,...
And nothing! What I want is to build a real future.
I wanna start my own family.
Listen, give it a rest, OK?
I mean, you people don't understand family.
Right, because us people, we don't come from families.
I don't know. I mean, maybe it's an Italian thing,
respect for my roots, sacrifices my mother did for me.
Obviously that means nothing to you.
Obviously.
That's it!
(Camera clicking)
Good.
And turn.
Perfect.
Hands on the hips.
Nice!
That's it.
Very good.
Just a half-turn.
Nice. Chin down.
Who's the slut working my clients?
I'm trying to find out.
Since they saw you on TV with bad lighting
and the extra 10 pounds courtesy of the camera,
nobody wants to work with you anymore.
Whatever. I wanna be a singer.
But, sweetie, you can't sing.
Well, it's always been my dream.
I'm sorry you got fired from the show,
but I'll find something else for ya.
You can still do fashion stuff.
I'm sick of fashion stuff.
I wanna sing. Just make it happen.
But I can't give you a voice.
I'm the only client you have left,
so unless you want to be officially
completely washed up,
make me a singer.
(Gilles) Hey, hey! Whoa!
Gilles! Can you believe this shit?
I bought the whole floor to make a little more money,
and I'm losing my shirt.
This city is going down Everybody is moving to Toronto.
(Telephone ringing)
Did you vote for the fucking Parti Québecois?
I'd rather vote for Hitler! Good girl.
What do you want? I'm busy.
I have a business proposition.
Why should I want to do business with you?
It involves Adriana.
(sighing)
(Sniffling)
Hi.
Not the guy from the disco show.
We barely have time for the real actors.
What was that? Nothing.
Just look at the camera and say your name, please.
My name is I'll fucking kick your pussy ass.
Bastien!
You're just directing a Canadian movie, pal,
so don't go all Hollywood on my ass!
No! Go!
Oh, fuck you, ostie! Fuck you!

Ah!
(Chuckling)
Hey!
Thank you.
Where did you learn how to sing like that?
Nowhere. I've been singing ever since I was a kid.
So what do you think?
Well, I think you've got potential.
Hey, wait a minute.
What?
Adriana, if I wanted a whore, I would have paid for one.
I'm not a whore.
Then why do you act like one?
Fuck you!
Hey!
Why are you leaving?
I want to help you become a singer
because I think you've-- you've got something special,
not because I want to fuck you.
You don't wanna fuck me?
Sure, I want to fuck you!
But you're worth more than just a fuck.
Oh yeah? Since when?
Since now.
(Crickets chirping)
(sighing)
(Door opening)
(sighing)
Jesus, Bastien!
You could leave a light on or something if you're up.
Take it easy with the blow.
You really look like shit.
I look like this shit
because I'm worried out of my fucking mind.
Where have you been?
I was in a meeting. What's all this?
A meeting?
Do you know what time it is?
I almost called the cops.
Don't yell at me.
Jesus! You sound like my dad.
You're right. I'm sorry.
I was just worried something had happened to you.
Come here. Come on.
I'm exhausted. Not tonight.
There's been a lot of "not tonight’s" lately.
Is that all I am to you? A sex object?
I'm worth more than that, you know.
Who said you were a sex object?
Isn't that why I got my job on your show?
Because you wanted to fuck me?
No!
I don't know what's gotten into you, but I don't like it.
Well, if you don't like it,
you always have the option to go.
I'm not going anywhere.
Fine, don't go anywhere.
I'm tired.
Good night.
You acting like a man yet?
(Panting)
What's going on?
(sighing)
You OK?
Uh!
Oh, it's OK. It's OK.
Uh...
No, no, it's OK.

Hey, come in!
Jonathan, come in.
Oh! What are you kids up to?
Tino proposed and I said yes.
Proposed?
We're getting married!
Oh my god!
(Laughing)
Wow! Congratulations. That's ,...
I-I should go. I was just passing by.
I don't want to intrude.
No, no, no. Jonathan, you're like family.
No, no, no.
I think that Jonathan has much more important
and glamourous things to do.
I do.
Um... But, uh, first there's something I must say.
(Chuckles)
L'chaim. ("To Life"Hebrew)
Which is Jewish for:
"May you have all the happiness you deserve."
Salut!
(Clearing throat)
Now I must go and tend to my glamour.
Jonathan!
Um...
I'm sorry.
Well, that's fine.
So, um, you coming back to my place when you're done here?
No, I'm done. I'm going home.
Done? Oh.
As in, for good.
Yeah.

All right.
How come you never told me you wanted to sing?
I did.
(Door slams)
♫ I can't live ♫
♫ Can't live Without your touch ♫
Excuse me, what is that record we're listening to right now?
♫ Without your touch ♫
Humph!
Do I have stupid written on my face, motherfucker?
What do you want?
Did you think I wasn't gonna find out?
You got your money.
The record stores are wallpapered with my single
and all I get is a measly 200 bucks?
You signed the contract
giving me all the rights to that song.
It's my voice.
I want my cut.
Cut this!
OK.
Jesus Christ...
(Cheering)
What's wrong with your dad?
(Bastien speaking French)
I don't know.
(Crowd exclaiming)
lâche-moi, tabarnac! (Expressing Anger in French)
Fuck!
(Telephone ringing)
You can run, you can hide,
but believe me, motherfucker, I'm gonna get my cut.
If you don't stop harassing me,
I give you a cut straight across your ugly face!
Who was that, boo?
No one.
(Tires squealing)
Hey!
Adriana, I wanna talk to you.
Adriana, what are you doing with this guy?
Look at yourself. Come on!
(Honking, wheels squealing)
Bastien, are you crazy?
(Adriana): Oh!
Oh my fucking god!
It's all right.
Here, boys.
Thanks.
(Jason) Fuck! That's fucking disgusting!
Give me just 5 minutes with these freaks.
Five minutes, that's all I need.
(sighing)
Oh, hey, Tino.
How you doing?
Good. How are you?
Good.
Listen, can you guys stop groping each other?
You're offending the other guests.
No one else seems to be offended but you.
Listen, I don't want to lose any customers,
so you either behave or...
Oh!
Well, I wouldn't dream of making you lose customers.
Come on, let's go.
This will cover this?
Thank you.
Ah!
Bunch of queers.
Faggots.
(sighing)
"Schatten, Heart, Slape & Florne."
Fuck!
(Man on CB, indistinct)
The house is for sale!
No.
Well, why the sign then?
I'm not sure, but Gilles said it's not really for sale.
I gotta tell you right now,
I don't trust anything that man says.
I thought you liked Gilles.
I don't like anyone.
Honey, get me a gin and tonic, would ya?
Jesus, it's 10:00 already.
Ice?
Now. Why do you always insist on ruining drinks?
The truth is, I think Gilles's bottom is falling out.
That's why he wants to sell the house.
Yeah? To go where?
Toronto. Where else?
It's an exodus, honey.
Get the hell out of here
before that godforsaken referendum happens.
That doesn't make any sense.
He's making tons of money here at the record company.
He might be, but you're not.
What do you mean?
Your single sold 50,000 copies.
Did you see a red cent of royalties?
Uh, no!
It's obvious that Gilles
is cutting his losses in other ventures
by making deductions on your record sales reports.
That way your money is under his name.
The minute he tires of you, honey,
believe you me,we're history.
Why should I believe you?
You don't have to.
But don't come running to me
when you find yourself moving into a one-bedroom dump
with the old man in Poorsville.
You can't stop me for lookin' out for ya, honey.
I'm already in negotiations with Thunder Records in New York.
They wanna distribute your single in the States
using my copy of the master.
The advance that they're offering
is gonna make you and me millionaires.
But not Gilles.
Gilles is already a millionaire.
Well, for now, anyways.
Connie.
Did I miss it? What are you doing here?
Is this guy with you?
Normand, this is Bastien.
Bastien, this is Normand.
Pleasure to-- Great news.
I got a part in a sitcom taped in front of a live audience.
I want Cynthia to be there. She won't go.
I'll tell her myself. Get back here.
If you think you can erase me from her life,
you got another thing coming.
Do you want to cause a scene and embarrass her even more?
Look, I'm sure it will blow over,
but for now, she said she doesn't want to see you.
Ah, I get it.
She's got a new replacement daddy now.
When are you ever gonna stop blaming other people
for your fuck-ups?
She saw you stoned out of your mind on television.
Now none of her friends are allowed
to talk to her because of you and your drugs.
Now, if you don't want to cause her any more heartache,
you will go back home
and you will wait for her to come back to you.
Where are you going?
Shopping.
_ Again?
Why? Are you afraid
the credit card might get denied?
Why would it be denied?
Why the For Sale sign still out here?
What are you hiding from me?
Nothing.
Right.
When you decide to tell me the truth,
you'll know where I'll be.
I am telling you the truth.
I just wanted to know how much I can get for this dump.
It's just business, and I don't like to talk
about my business with people.
I'm not people.
Yeah, that? I'm sorry. I know, I know.
Anything else you wanna tell me?
About your business?
I-I don't think so.
So we're not in trouble?
No.
OK.
Aw, come on!
Uh, Benoit Lavallée.
Bastien.
(Laughing and applause)
(Cheering)
(Audience): Oh!
Tiens...
My favourite part of the show, as you know.
May I have the envelope, please?
Let me see. Uh... nobody.
What did we ever do to him?
I don't know.
(Cheering and applause)
(Both talking, indistinct)
You know what? We need to go kick some fag ass.
We're just having a slow night.
Tina.
We've been having slow nights ever since we were declared out.
It's not right.
(Door opening)
Bastien?
Is something wrong? Hey.
No, no. I thought I left something.
And I remembered it's--
Uh...
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt.
Do you wanna come in?
No.
You're having dinner and--and...
I gotta go somewhere.
Always somewhere you gotta be, huh?
. HEY-
Say hi to Cynthia for me.
I Will.
(Whispering): OK.
Did it air already?
OK.
(crying)
(sighing)
So I'll see you around 6:00?
For sure.
(Man speaking French)
Hey, buddy. How are ya?
How are you?
You have a little something for me?
I can't run up a tab anymore.
Come on, man! You know I'm good for it.
I wish I could, but...
I'll be back with the money tomorrow, I swear.
Come on, man. Just for tonight.
No, I can't. I'm sorry.
After all the fucking tips I gave you?
Sir, if you,...
Come on, Billy.
Don't make me call security, sir.
Oh, Jesus, Bastien! Look at you.
You're a mess.
I'm OK. Don't worry.
I'll pay you back. I'm fine.
You're not fine! Did you see yourself back there?
You're losin' it!
Losing what? There's nothing left to lose.
Bastien, let it go.
Yeah, I know. I know, I know, I know...
No, Bastien, listen to me.
Adriana is gone.
We're moving to New York tomorrow.
We're leaving to pursue a brand-new life
and, if you knew what's good for you,
you'd do the same thing.
Oh!
Oh, God! You look fantastic!
Oh!
Don't you go anywhere.
You sure you don't have time to come up?
No, we're already late for the photo shoot.
I've got executives waiting.
It's bad enough we had to make this pit stop.
Am I not allowed to say hello to my friend?
You'll have plenty of time to say hello after the meeting.
Now, come on, let's go. Crosstown traffic is murder.
We'll get together right after the meeting.
We'll go for dinner.
Food! That's all she thinks about.
Still can't believe you're here.
And your song? God, I didn't know you could sing like that!
I'm so jealous. A real gift from God.
(♫ Whistling ♫)
Let's hope Junior inherits it.
See you later, OK?
Junior?
What?
Junior.
Let's just say it's a good thing
we're doing the promo shots right away.
Are you kidding me?
No.
Goddammit, Adriana!
How could you be so stupid?
And why wasn't I aware of this?
Getting pregnant behind my back!
It wasn't planned.
We're on the cusp of something big here.
We can't interrupt it for a baby.
Aw, don't worry.
I know a fella downtown.
One phone call,
he'll yank that thing right out of you.
Are you crazy? How can you be so disgusting?
You let me take care of things
and you just worry about making the execs happy.
How about I take care of my own things for a change?
You? Sweetie, you know you'd be nowhere without me.
And where am I now? On my way to trick some big shots
into another one of your sleazy schemes again.
You listen to me.
Those people at Thunder Records are my contacts
and they won't see you unless I'm there too.
So if I go, you can wave goodbye at your last chance
at making any real money.
I don't care. We're through.
Go find someone else to fucking pimp.
Pimp? I've been like a mother to you!
All you've done is make me feel like a piece of shit.
Oh, I will not be talked to in this way.
Neither will I.
Stop the car.
It's over.

What?
Get the fuck out of here!

So, you're reduced to taking out the trash now?
What are you doing here? Get out of my face.
That's him!

Babe!
Babe, it's me. I need to talk to you.
There's something I need to say.
I know. I know I've been an asshole.
And--and Gilles was nice to you.
That's OK.
I'll come here and live with you in New York.
No one's home.
Where is she? Out.
When will she be back?
She doesn't wanna talk to you.
Everybody keeps telling me that.
I want her to tell me to my face.
Let me give you some advice.
Adriana's over you, so leave her alone.
Sounds more like an order than advice.
Take it as you will. Good night!
Ah!
Adriana!
Hang UP-
Who the fuck do you think you're calling?
Calm down. Get out!
What are you doing? Tell me where she is.
She's not here! Her stuff is there.

(Man) I knew it!
Well, cheer up, Gilles.
We won.
Huh! I sold my mansion in Montreal for $50,000.
I lost.
So? You're in Toronto now.
You'll make it all back, and more.
Tino called. He's held up at work.
Let's eat.
And you've had this cold for how long now?
Oh, forever.

We'll have it checked out.

♫ Now come on down and do what you got to do ♫
♫ You started this fire down in my soul ♫
♫ Now can't you see its burning ♫
♫ Out of control? ♫
♫ Come on, satisfy the need in me ♫
♫ 'Cause only your good lovin' can set me free ♫
♫ Set me free, set me free ♫
♫ Yeah, yeah, yeah ♫
♫ Don't, don't you leave me this Way, no ♫
♫ Don't you understand ♫
♫ I'm at your commend? ♫
♫ Oh, baby, please, please ♫
♫ Don't leave me this Way ♫
♫ Oh, baby ♫
♫ Don't leave me this Way, no ♫
♫ I can? survive ♫
♫ I can? stay alive ♫
♫ Without your love ♫
♫ Baby, don't leave me this Way ♫
♫ Baby ♫
♫ My heart is full of love and desire for you ♫
♫ So come on down and do What you got to do ♫
♫ You started this fire down in my soul ♫
♫ Now can't you see its burning ♫
♫ Out of control? ♫
♫ So come on, satisfy the need in me ♫
