:10:01
Now is that nice, Irma,
holding out on me?

:10:03
- It's only ten dollars.
- And you weren't gonna tell me about it?

:10:06
I was gonna put it down
as a deposit, on a hair dryer.

:10:09
A hair dryer?! We're partners, Irma.
You wouldn't wanna cheat me?

:10:14
- Let go, Hippolyte.
- There's such a thing as ethics.

:10:17
You're hurting me, you big ox!
:10:19
If you don't like the way I treat you,
why don't you get yourself another guy?

:10:22
- I will one of these days.
- Why wait? Why not leave me now?

:10:27
I'd take her any time.
:10:29
Oh, you would?
:10:32
- It was just a joke, Hippolyte.
- A joke?

:10:35
So how come nobody's laughing?
:10:49
Now go back to work.
:10:52
Ox.
:10:59
And so it was one big,
happy family around here:

:11:02
the "macs", the "poules" and the "flics"...
:11:05
... or as you would say, the cops.
:11:22
Your statesmen and politicians keep
talking about peaceful coexistence...

:11:26
... but here, in our milieu,
we really practise it.

:11:30
The attitude of the police
is live and let live.

:11:34
And some of them make
a pretty good living at it.

:11:41
Every other Friday the "flics" would raid
Rue Casanova, just for the record.

:11:45
A few "poules" would be hauled to
the station, they'd pay a small fine...

:11:49
... and 24 hours later
they'd be back on the street.

:11:54
It was a nice, friendly,
civilised arrangement.

:11:56
Everybody looked the other way,
everybody kept his mouth shut...
