Mixte (2021) s01e03 Episode Script

1
Hello.
Your mother's asleep.
Are you going to work?
I'm going to school.
What's your name?
Annick.
Have you ever thought of
becoming an actress?
No.
I'm a photographer
for periodicals, magazines
Different things.
You've got something.
I know what I'm talking about.
If you want to give it a try
Call my office.
CAFÉ AND TOBACCONIS
Lamazière, five.
Vergoux, seven.
Laubrac, nice progress, four.
Felbec, excellent as usual, 17.
Sabiani, make it neater next time.
Magnan, same as always, nine.
Miss Sabiani, 17, well done.
And the highest grade, 19, Miss Sabiani.
Same as Mr. Laubrac.
Well done, both of you.
Thankfully, we have Miss Sabiani
to bolster the girls' average.
We're going to start a new chapter.
Open your book to page 48.
As you know, this is a school where
we like to experiment with new methods.
Next week, we're going to try
a new approach.
You're going to prepare a presentation,
working in pairs.
You'll be working with
the classmate sitting next to you,
then you'll present your work
to the class together.
How does that sound?
-Yes?
-What if we're sitting alone?
Well, you can work with Miss Sabiani.
Look! Pichon is blushing!
He's turned pink like a pig.
That's enough, Dupin.
Yes, miss?
Do we really have to work in pairs?
That's the whole point.
And I'm warning you,
half a pair's work will result
in half the grade.
I like this idea.
You can do all the work,
and we'll still get the same grade.
Annick!
If you ever have kids with Pichon,
you can say you raised pigs together.
Is there a problem, Dupin?
It wasn't him, sir. It's Pichon.
When he's happy, he grunts.
Where should we go to work
on our presentation?
My place? It's not too far.
Okay.
My brother might be there, but
I don't mind.
-That's because you don't know him.
-Sure.
I'm gonna fail this year.
Of course not. We're still in the first
The first trimester.
I'm a disaster in Latin.
Here, this is yours.
I put it in my bag by mistake.
-Thank you.
-See you later.
I'm not doing well in English either.
But math is the worst.
Yes.
I got 3/20 on the last test.
That isn't so bad.
-You're going to work with Annick.
-I know.
Will you go to her place?
I don't know.
She can't come to my place.
Not with my sisters there.
What does Annick's bedroom look like?
Maybe you'll get to sit on her bed.
I'm free tomorrow
or Wednesday after class.
And I'd rather go to your place.
My place is a little complicated.
I live too far.
It's just that I have sisters.
-A lot of sisters.
-So what?
So
So, your place tomorrow at 5:00 then?
Think Annick's sheets are soft?
Do you swear, sir?
I never swear, Mr. Casiro,
but you can trust me.
We'll win. With Zappa on offense,
you don't stand a chance.
We'll see about that.
-You swear, right?
-I don't swear!
What are you being asked to swear to?
Hello, Miss Couret.
No, it's just that the teacher-student
soccer game is coming up soon.
It's a big event here.
This year,
the students want me to referee.
I see. So, you're not playing?
No, but I'm quite happy to referee.
The teachers have won four years in a row
with Mr. Herman as referee.
I understand why the boys are not happy.
Mr. Herman wasn't being impartial?
If only teachers would set
an example of fair play.
-Mr. Bellanger?
-Yes?
Is it true?
Will you be refereeing the game?
Are you questioning my ability to referee?
No, not at all,
but it's an important game.
-It's one of Voltaire's great traditions.
-Sir!
Are you scared?
Please. Who cries every year
when he loses?
Not this year.
Herman won't be there to cover for you.
"Mr." Herman.
Yes.
They're such sore losers.
See you on the field, sir.
Yeah, yeah.
We'll see who's better.
We can't mess this up, Mr. Bellanger.
There you go.
-Thanks.
-Thank you.
-Bye.
-Goodbye, Mrs. Brunet.
-Hello.
-Hello.
Back from school?
-I was with friends.
-What were you doing?
We were at the bar. Any other questions?
-Can I go with you sometime?
-No.
What's this?
Three out of 20.
-You didn't want to help me.
-Nobody's helping me.
It's good you're working,
there's lots to do.
A four-week paid vacation
and a 40-hour week.
Raoul, you're boring the girls.
Maybe. But you, son, you should listen.
-You're old enough.
-You can talk about it later.
Henri, how was your day?
Our French teacher asked us
to partner up for a presentation.
Who's your partner? Applebaum's son?
-No, Sabiani.
-Sabiani?
Who's he?
"She." She's a girl.
-A girl?
-Héloïse.
A girl?
There are three.
One of them had to work with a boy.
But why you?
-It just happened.
-You should have said no.
What about
when your employees go on strike?
She's top of the class.
Did Felbec's son end up with a girl?
This is what you're gonna do.
Tomorrow, you'll ask your professor
to assign you a new partner.
-But it's not
-It'll be fine.
You can't let them push you around.
-Do you love her?
-Héloïse.
Come on!
No!
Business comes first.
Come on!
Shit.
You're walking? Get in, I'll drive you.
You don't like compliments, do you?
I meant no harm
when I asked to take photos.
It's my job.
I'm always scouting for talent,
and you have something special.
I'm not interested.
Well
I'm not saying that you'd become a star.
In this business
there are lot of girls, but few make it.
A photoshoot can help with that.
We could see if you had any potential.
You don't have to tell your mother.
And it pays well.
I don't need money.
Maybe not. But it looks like
you could use a new moped.
Come on, I didn't steal it.
I prefer a leather interior.
Well, here we are already. That's too bad.
Think about it.
A photoshoot doesn't take very long,
and a new moped would last you for years.
Wait, sir! Sir!
Five minutes.
Your attendance sheet.
No, don't give me that look.
A pretty girl like you should be smiling.
So
What class are you in?
The League of Nations, LON
It's my dad.
He wants me to get a new partner.
Like it's that easy.
What should I do?
It's Annick. A lot of boys would
love to be in your shoes.
-What about you?
-No.
You should ask Descamps.
the goal of the League of Nations
is global security
Descamps.
through disarmament and war prevention.
-Descamps.
-Quiet at the back.
As I was saying, global security
through disarmament and war prevention.
Miss Sabiani.
Thank you so much for joining us today.
-Late pass?
-Yes, ma'am.
Pichon.
What do you want?
Nothing.
-Is this how you come to class?
-Sorry, I had to run.
Then you should leave earlier.
One hour of detention.
-But
-Talking back? That's two hours.
I live far away. I get up at 6:00
And you persist.
That's two more. So four hours.
As I was saying, the League of Nations
Mr. Herman, would you like to join us?
How does left rearguard sound?
Sure. Since nobody wants me
to referee anymore.
And you, Mr. Meyer, right rearguard.
Anyway, I've warned them.
If one of them fouls me,
there will be payback in class.
We'll win with Marcelin.
Remember last year? He scored three goals.
A hat trick.
Gentlemen
Émile
-What happened?
-Sit down. Tell us everything.
Looks like we need a substitute.
-Mr. Le Goff?
-No.
-Please, we're missing a player.
-No.
I have a heart condition. Sorry, I can't.
-A heart condition?
-Yes.
I could play.
Mr. Marcelin, are you sure you can't play?
I'm serious.
Do you know how to play?
-A pretty woman like
-The ball goes in the goal, right?
I'm a good runner, and I love to win.
Well, welcome to the team.
Not that we have much of a choice.
Does the referee approve?
The referee approves.
It's the girl!
-Hello, miss.
-Hello, ma'am.
My parents are at the store.
And Jean-Pierre
Jean-Pierre!
He's not here.
Héloïse, go to your room.
Henri says you're an excellent student.
It's just in here.
-Do you know what I would've liked?
-What?
For us to work at the café.
The seniors go there.
My brother would never let me go.
Come on.
It's easy for you.
You can do whatever you want.
Yeah, right.
We can tell your brother we're studying
at my place on Thursday,
but then go to the café.
That would be great.
-We'll tell him when he gets back.
-Okay.
Does he go out a lot?
I don't know. He does what he wants.
He must go out with girls.
Should we get to work?
I'll leave you to it.
Ready?
Sure.
Remember Simone?
We're working on a project together.
Sure, Simone. Hi.
Hi.
You're always together at school.
How long does it take to read three pages?
I'm almost done.
-I've had enough.
-No, stay! I'll read.
Annick, I'm sorry.
What are you doing?
You want to look at me? Then look.
What are you doing? Stop, no.
Please, look.
No, Annick, don't.
Come on, look.
Look!
All right? Can we work now?
What are you working on?
A presentation on Racine.
Who's your teacher?
Marcelin, you know that.
We're working in pairs.
Today, we're here. Thursday, at my place.
-Where do you live?
-By Albrets.
That's on the other side of town.
No, it's not that far.
It's a waste of time. It'd be a shame.
But we've already decided.
Isn't it easier to come here?
Don't you like it here?
Yes, of course.
Then that settles it. Come back here.
But it's better if we alternate.
Otherwise, I'm the one
always walking home.
I can walk you home.
You would do that?
A girl your age shouldn't
walk the streets alone.
Who knows who you might run into?
Right?
So
I have to go.
Already?
My moped was stolen.
It's going to take me an hour to get home.
So, about tomorrow
Sure, same time?
-See you tomorrow.
-See you.
-Good night, sir.
-Good night.
Now I get it.
My teacher didn't want me
to change partners.
I see. You should've told me about her.
-She really is top of the class.
-Yes, sure.
Usually, I go by the hospital.
I never get lost that way.
I just moved here from Algeria.
I don't know the area.
-You're Algerian of French descent?
-Yes.
I didn't know.
-Are you Jewish?
-Catholic.
Going to the game tomorrow?
-Are you playing?
-No, not this year.
It's nice of you to walk me home.
Of course.
I live right over there.
Well
see you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow. Thank you.
See you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
-Is that you, sweetheart?
-Yes, Mom. Be right there.
Is the bar closed?
Yes. Robert is coming to pick me up.
How do I look?
You look very pretty.
He likes it when I wear red.
He's like a bull, I swear!
And he makes me laugh so much!
My moped was stolen.
I can't believe it!
Who would do that?
School is over an hour away.
Oh, sweetheart
I'm sorry.
Don't worry. Things will work out.
How?
I don't know. You need to have faith.
Things are going very well with Robert.
He always wants to see me.
He's talking about a summer vacation.
He even offered me a role in a movie.
What does he do exactly?
He's a director
No, he's a photographer.
Anyway, it's a job with
a lot of responsibilities.
He finds new talent.
He wants to discuss a project with me.
You know, anyone can be a movie producer.
You invest a little, and you're a partner.
So, he wants you to invest in a movie?
I don't know. I'll know more tonight.
Don't give him anything tonight.
Of course not!
Anyway, he hasn't asked me for anything.
Because
you remember Maurice?
Let me tell you something,
Maurice never took me
to the places Robert does.
And Robert doesn't need money.
He wants me to invest. That's all.
It's him!
Hey, don't worry about your moped.
You know,
when I'm a movie star,
I'll pick you up in a Rolls-Royce.
You'll see.
We'll see the look on your friends' faces!
-Have a good night.
-Good night, Mom.
Hey, I love you.
Me too.
ROBERT ROUEN
PHOTOGRAPHER
Lounge! Lounge! Lounge!
Lounge! Lounge! Lounge!
Why are they shouting?
If they win, they want a lounge.
With a record player and a smoking area.
Why not throw in a butler
while we're at it?
It doesn't matter, we're going to win.
Right, Bellanger?
-Let's go, Miss Couret!
-You have a girl on your team?
Know how to play, miss?
Even better, Mr. Casiro. I'm a winner.
-Can we get this game started?
-Sure.
-We're losing!
-It was a good play.
I guess.
-No!
-Obstruction!
-No!
-Obstruction!
I didn't do anything, Bellanger!
No!
Offside.
You're a natural!
You too, Miss Couret!
Halftime!
Pichon.
I'll finish the presentation myself.
I'll do your part.
At the rate we're going,
it won't take me very much longer.
Wait
We were supposed to work,
not watch the game.
Wait here.
Annick?
Annick.
-You're leaving?
-I have homework to do.
What Bluebeard did to you was awful.
What do you want?
I'm struggling in math and
you're good.
Could you help me with integrals?
I have four hours of detention.
Do you think I have the time?
I don't even have time to sleep, so, no.
She's so charming.
Things aren't easy for her.
What's not easy for her?
She isn't as privileged as some.
I didn't realize you were so close.
But if you meant me,
I don't feel particularly privileged.
I didn't mean to upset you.
I'm not upset. I just need help in math
and I'll have to deal with it alone.
I got a 19 on the test.
Great, you're all brilliant, and I'm not.
Look, after school,
I work on the farm where I live,
so I can't explain everything,
but if you want to look at my test,
I could give it to you.
All you have to do is ask.
Laubrac!
-Penalty!
-No!
-Penalty!
-We were winning!
We're leading two to one, Bellanger!
It's over! She can't play.
It doesn't count.
Have you seen this rain?
-Penalty.
-With two minutes to go!
-Ready?
-Okay, okay!
The score is tied!
-We were winning.
-I'm sorry.
Lounge! Lounge!
Ball in the center!
-Corner!
-It was nothing!
It's our last chance!
Everybody in the center!
Pass the ball!
Pass the ball!
Did I score? Did I?
We won!
The teachers win! Game's over!
See, Mr. Casiro? I know how to win!
I'm sorry, but he was asking for it!
I'm sure he was.
Well done.
Annick.
I'm busy.
Look, I know you don't have your moped
and you have to walk to school.
I don't know how you want to do this.
I can go to your place. I don't mind.
But we will do this together.
You don't have to do everything.
I'm sure we can do a good job.
Tomorrow, same time, your place.
-Hi.
-Hi.
Come in.
-Hi, girls.
-Hi.
"All beings are destined for happiness."
Yes, that's a really good quote.
Nice work, I hadn't thought of it.
You think?
Thank you. I'll write it down.
Do you know what "compendium" means?
No, but the dictionary is in my bedroom.
Did you find it?
He had an amazing life.
Poet and gunrunner.
Héloïse!
No one said he liked being a gunrunner.
Why would he do it then?
Sometimes you don't have a choice.
Sometimes we do things we don't want to.
It's just the way it is.
We'd like to conclude
with another "precocious" poet,
Raymond Radiguet, who died at 19,
to say that "age is meaningless."
All great poets were writing at 17.
So, what's surprising is not how old
Rimbaud was when he was writing.
-What's surprising
-Is the mastery of his work.
Very interesting. Good job.
Simone and Michèle, you too.
I was pleasantly surprised.
Your presentation was commendable.
Well, well,
working in pairs has its perks.
Congratulations, ladies.
And gentleman.
Yes, well done, Miss Pichon.
Quiet, Descamps.
We should've gotten the same grade.
We were a team.
You couldn't answer any of his questions.
Did you and Jean-Pierre
talk about my grades?
No. Don't worry.
I wouldn't say anything anyway.
I'm loyal.
-Where are you taking me?
-It's right over here.
You leave my place so late at night,
it's the least I could do.
My sister doesn't use it anymore.
-I'm sure you'll say no
-You're a lifesaver.
Really? I can take it?
For as long as you want.
Thank you, Pichon.
Henri. I really mean it.
There's only one condition.
What do you mean?
Don't ever take your clothes off again.
I mean, not like that.
-I mean
-I promise.
-Are you walking home?
-Yes, it's closer than your place.
If a girl can do it, so can Miss Pichon.
Have you noticed the students?
So calm since their defeat.
Yes. But we still have
to talk about the lounge.
Of course.
-Good evening.
-Evening, sir.
Miss Couret-Kopa!
He's referring to Raymond Kopaszewski.
You're famous now.
Can I be honest?
I was trying to pass the ball.
I mean, I still scored the winning goal.
That's true.
-Have a good evening.
-Yes.
Laubrac Alain - Tuesday October 29th 1963
Mathematics test
Yes?
Annick! Hi.
I have a deal to propose.
Of course, come in.
Please.
