Panel 1: Caption: There are mornings when the sun seems to shine brighter than usual…
Panel 2: Caption: On the schoolyards…
Mobile trash: D'you watch Cook & Fight yesterday?
Handheld casual: Yeah, I even tried the burger my dad made! Fun times, but not on the level of Mickey D's.
Panel 3: Caption: In the offices…
Employee 1: …And did you see how cute Arthur is?
Employee 2: So handsome!
Panel 4: Goth 1: They say he used to work here. I already ate here.
Goth 2: Daaaaaamn!
Panel 5: Caption: Everywhere really…
Worker 1: Did they specify if the pear has to be a Williams, a Comice or a Beurré Hardy? They don't absord cooking juices the same way!
Worker 2: If you were in his place, wouldn't you have tried to cook it on a lower temperature, in more steps?
Panel 6: Caption: But mostly at the Spice Garden!
Crowd: We were here before you!
Crowd: Don't push!
P1
Panel 1: Amber: They all want burgers! The one they saw on tv yesterday!
Arthur: Coming through! We'll have to look for more ducks again!
Panel 2: Oscar: Regardless, the restaurant is full! Not like these last few days when we only had your cousin to feed!
Amber & Arthur: Our cousin?!?
Oscar: Well, yes… the client who lives here! He's your cousin, isn't he?
Panel 3: Greeter: but I'm telling you, sir, we're full!
Philip: Move.
Panel 4: Philip: Where's my cheque?
Arthur: Mister Berdieux?
Panel 5: Philip: My 200 000 euros! You won them yesterday! You'd better not have deposited them at another bank, you hear?
Arthur: If you want to be paid back, let us work!
Panel 6: Philip: You little shit, you don't talk to me like that! Where's that slut of a sister of yours?
P2
Panel 1: Amber: Would you like me to settle the issue, mister Berdieux?
Panel 2: Philip: You, if you threaten me again, you go straight to jail! Master Hunepa is here to record any violence!
Hunepa: She approaches brandishing a knife…
Panel 3: Antonio: Mister Berdieux, master Hunepa, if you would follow me into my office…
Philip: Hey! Who're you then?
Panel 4: Antonio: Antonio Spinazzi, newly in charge of the bookkeeping.
Panel 5: Antonio: And I appreciate your formal tone.
Panel 6: Amber: "Newly in charge of the bookkeeping"?!?
Arthur: Spinazzi, that rings a bell…
Panel 7: Antonio: I've closely examined all the terms of the Intercredit Bank's loan contract, mister Berdieux. You have no right to demand an early reimbursement of three million euros.
Philip: Of course I do! Multiple deadlines have not been respected!
Panel 8: Antonio: Everything's been normalised with a money transfer from the Monte Dei Paschi Bank in Siena. The credit will thus retake its usual course.
Philip: But…
P3
Panel 1: Antonio: Master Hunepa's presence is a fortuitous turn of events. I'll ask him to effect an acknowledgement of a certain number of records I've pieced together, mister Berdieux…
Panel 2: Antonio: We clearly see here that you have abused your position at Intercredits to try to bankrupt the Spice Garden in order to recuperate the real estate for some friends, in addition to some solid personal gain.
Panel 3: Philip: HOW DARE YOU…
Antonio: I will therefore send a copy of these documents to your superiors, as well as the district attorney.
Panel 4: Philip: I…
Panel 5: Philip: And what if we reduced the loan's monthly payments, hm? After all, that'd give these up-and-coming youngsters some breathing room. We must help them, no?
Antonio: What a great idea!
Panel 6: That's perfect, I'll await the rescheduling contract. You are excused.
Panel 7: Amber & Arthur: ?!?
Panel 8: Amber: I think we need to have a chat.
Arthur: Now.
