It's not my fault if your kids vandalize my fence! The problem Mr Jacky is that the fence isn't solid enough.
Not solid enough? This fence is in a very good state! Very solid this f! Wait I didn't build this fence.
It's Jafar! If it goes down the drain, Jafar is to blame! In fact, Mr Jacky we would like to have a hard wall to avoid the holes.
A hard wall, a hard wall But how much would it cost me?! 5 000 $ And what would be great, Mr Jacky, is that the wall would be high enough to hide tose windows Who's that guy? He's your new neighbour, Mr.
Well How much for a wall this height? 20 000 $ 20 000 $!!! You're completely crazy You know what it is 20 000 $ ? Who do you think I am an American!

Good morning Colonel Amanullah would like very much to visit the restaurant It's not a good idea I know, I tried to tell him Try again.
I remind you it's a restaurant for expatriates And I remind you that I'm also one of its associate.
Apart from that, You intend to be still sulking for a long time? I don't know, I'm thinking.
I know it's silly but each time I think of the Ali Brothers and to the 15 percent I had to give up I'm telling myself that I have the right to be sulky.

No weapons in my house! You're right, I'm sorry.
Gentlemen Show me the picture? You cut my face again! I have troubles with his head Well, he's tall Hello, Fayaz, I don't the council to take bad what I said earlier It was under the grip of mon of strong emotion I mean But now, I'm alright Call me back.
Alain delon is a very famous French actor 70-80's Tell me, We may have a problem with the neighbour council But I thought you had them in your pocket?! Me too.
The neighbour is the problem.
Talking about problems I think you got yourself a new friend Jacky, I'm jealous, you know ? My swimming pool is bigger than yours but I don't have all those pretty women around.
At least you're in peace with the neighborhood! Jacky, I will eat here, and I invite you at my table.
He loves you already.
That's great! Thank you.
We're leaving, they return to class But wait, the girls don't have class? No, not in this district.
What? no, forget it immediately It's a difficult district.
The mullah of the district is a fundamentalist We cannot do rubbish.
But, I don't propose rubbish, I propose we open a girl school.
Well, girl's schools do exist in Afghanistan, right? Some even open pools in the heart of Kaboul, and they bother less Yes, but we're not private businessmen We're not here to impose things but to make them accept, you see So we find the place and we submit them the idea Wait, I told you no! It would be good for you to learn how to listen, right! Victor, let me at least try it.
NO! Forget it, it's dangerous! You don't know, you listen! Next time I see you I want my report on 'Ski Without Borders'.
Now, get out.
She's a real pain in the arse 20 000 $ ? What did you tell them? I told them to bugger off You did well Yeah, well I'm not so sure They're peasant my friend What they say You don't care Yes, and moreover, building this wall is not doing them a favor, To me, knowing that kids can eye up the gils in bikinis, I feel relieved on the future generations of this country They must cope with it They won't always stone their women and hide them under burqas You should watch your mouth We also stone photographers here, you know.
Boss, two Afghans want to have lunch here.
I already told you, right? The restaurant is forgidden to the Afghan people because we serve alcohol Righly so, boss, They say that alcohol is their They also say that the restaurant is a little theirs.
Give them a table.
They ordered alcohol.
Well then a teapot, right! No more! A small teapot.
Ok.
The Ali brothers.
My suppliers.
It was very good Jacky, thank you.
So, is it coming?! Come here! I'm disgusted.
You can't hurt the fundamentalists around, you have to tolerate what's intolerant, you have to leave women in ignorance, you must be pragmatic then.
Hello Camille! Hello! You're okay? Yeah.
Axel, Sophie, you know each other? Yes, we already met, or sort of We get a table tonight, well, I don't know, if you fancy coming For sure.
Yeah, why not.
Well, it's great, great So see you tonight See you! In fact you just have to lie down.
Ah, Habib! Come here please.
I have something for your uncle.
It is Alain Delon.
Yes, and some good.
There's 'Le Battant, 'le Toubib' and 'Le Gitan'.
(Film) There's action? Plenty! And Alain Delon! Thanks a lot boss, thanks.
Wait Habib, wait! I've left 3 messages to your uncle and he's still not calling me back.
You know what's going on? It's your new neighbour, boss.
With the pool, the council was in his favor.
Well, I had guessed that but, who's this new guy? He's called al Achi Daoud.
He's a qualified engineer.
A very upright man, very pious, very very important.
He made the pilgrimage to Mecca.
Yes, but he's mostly annoying.
Listen, as soon as you see your uncle, could tell him to call me please? Alright.
Very good.
Thank you.
Now go.
Problems with the pool? No, no, nothing important Hello Jacky, I'm sorry to disturb you Who are those two filthy swines, over there? They're clients.
Could you tell them we're not in a zoo?! It's true, everybody seem to like your pool.
I bet you it closes before summer ends.
And I bet you'll dive in it before the week ends.
I'm on.
And if I win, I keep your room.
If you lose, you return to your mum's.
It would make you happy, right? You told them the pool was for the whites? No, for people in a bathing suit.
But honestly, You're not shocked, thinking that no NGOS, nobody dare to build a school in this district, just because it risks to annoy a part of the population?! Let's say that my father, with his pool, is less bothered.
That's the whole problem of charities She reminds me her mother She worked in charities? No, she was pretty, but boring.
We are stifled by our ethics do everything softly and don't rock the boat at all So, as a result, nothing's done.
In my memories, her mother was less boring Anyway, some are interested.
Nobody's shocked, that we put women in bikinis under the nose of the Afghans I completely agree Education is a fundamental right.
Excuse me, could you stand up, please? Yes.
That's it, I'm coming.
Here? Yeah.
Smile! I love it, I love it.
I couldn't stand it anymore.
Sorry, but you bore us stiff with your school.
WE are here to have a drink, So if you wanna save the world, you do it on business hours.
Who wants what? You're really stupid! Well, I've saved the night.
A vodka? Yeah.
I was pushed, it doesn't count! But I said nothing.
Sophie, wait! Wait! What! II'm sorry.
He really behaved like an asshole! But if you're really interested by this district, I could take you there.
I deal with the campaign of a guy who's a candidate.
I.
I know it well.
Can you take me there tomorrow? Yeah.
But, don't tell your father, he may throw a tantrum! It's a kind of hot spot.
Okay, we meet here at noon? Great.
Jacky! Jacky! We have a problem.
The neighbour is blocking the deliveries.
Thanks for all, Officer Tamir.
Listen Jacky, if you don't sort this out with them, you'll spend your time calling me I know Tamir, I know.
Your wife, your kids are okay? Oh yes.
Alright, come, I walk you back a little.
Have a nice day! Thank you.
You know the council blocked the restaurant this morning? uhm, well, no, I didn't know I found the answer.
Cool! I have an appointment with them right now.
That's good.
Do you care about what I'm saying or what? Uhm, yes, yes up to 35 percent Well, so listen to this, I'll tell them yes for everything, Yes to the wall 10 meters high, I'll tell them yes, but I'll do nothing.
I'll drag it out.
Money problems, Inefficient government, no authorizations, Karzai is a bastard, the summer will pass without us laying a brick, after it'll be winter, the pool will be closed, and we have one more year! Let's go?! Where you're going? Mind your own business! Where do you take her? No in fact, it's because yesterday night, I I think he tries to pick me up.
Good luck! And so.
I'm trying to pick you up?? Well you are, aren't you! Let's go? I want to apologize to the council.
I want to say that I understand your approach, and that I fully, completely, agree with you.
I will build the wall.
But the council must also understand my problems.
I will build the wall, 20 000$ is a big amount.
And building this wall is a big project.
Therefore, I'll need some time.
Thank you Jacky.
Your common sense does you credit.
You can take the time you need.
And you'll be able to reopen your pool as soon as the wall is built.
Alright, very good, I close the pool.
And I lose half of my customers.
As a result, Khalid, you lose half of your sales since you're my main supplier.
Since I will have lay off my staff, it is not impossible that your nephew, Fayaz, is unemployed.
Nacer, your cousin doesn't come to do the cleaning.
Daoud, you forget the garden maintenance, I won't have the means.
As for you, Jafar, of course, no more buildings Because I'll take another craftsman, less expensive.
As for the rent, Helias, I'm not sure I'll be able to keep on paying And of course, the catering school I intended to build, remains mothballed.
Since I settled down here, I always respected you.
I gave you work.
I gave you street lighting.
I GAVE YOU ALAIN DELON! thank you! I gave you a lot, and you want to doom me for nearly nothing! Congratulations Jacky! The council has voted.
Your swimming pool stays opened with 7 votes against 1.

And rightly so! You've just signed your return to Paris! So here it is, I guess you're happy! You'll get back your room and your peace ! Exactly, that will avoid me sprinting all through Kabul, just to know if my daughter died in a riot or not! I didn't ask you a thing, especially not to worry about me! I've lived very well on my own for 27 years, I don't see why it should change! Sorry, but it's no! This country is too dangerous and you're completely uncontrollable! It's no.
