She obeys.
RENE: Fine. You can sit down.
They go upset towards the seats. René stop them.
RENE: I forgot something. REALLY important.

RENE: The greatings and the presentations.
LYDIE: No need. We already greated and we know each others.
DJEFF( Whispering): Unfortunately...
LYDIE: SO unfortunately.
RENE: Shush! Make a handshake, thank you.
They shake it carelessly.
RENE: You stand up straight, and look at each others eyes politely.
They look at each others. But instead of politely, it's either haughty or harsh.
RENE: Come on, smile!
DJEFF: See ? It's prettier like that Lydie.
RENE: Morning, Mr Djefferson McClay, Morning Miss Lydie Linwood. Say it!

RENE: Shush! Your turn Miss.
LYDIE: He said McClay
RENE: Faster Mademoiselle!
She great him with nerves, they sign the presence paper, and then go to their seats.
RENE: We are going to talk about politeness and benevolence. Apparently these are notions that you ignore, given the motive of your confinement ...
DJEFF: Come on, it's just 5:30! I didn't sleep last night...
RENE: It's the right moment to start the class. First, the story of benevolence.
Lydie raise her hand, and it's provoque a smile from René.
LYDIE: How long you'll be here ? Sir...René
RENE : From now to 12, until a new supervisor come. You will have a breakfast break at 8:30.
Djeff raises his hand.
RENE: Yes Djefferson ?
DJEFF: Don't you and your colleagues have better plans for saturday ?
Lydie sneers quietly.
RENE: Enough of impertinents questions. Take notes, the word RESPECT comes from Latin respectus...
Some hours later, they receive the breakfast they ordered. Djeff take the excuse of the toilets, to go and meet his friends with a phone. Unfortunately, the supervisors catch them.
He goes back in the room upset, and René continue his lesson.
AT 12:00
RENE: Sorry to say, ladies and gentleman that I have to go. The next supervisor will be here in a minute. Keep calm, be cool...guys.
He takes his bag and gets out.
LYDIE: Finally...
Suddenly, they start hearing whistlings. They are looking around to see where it comes from. Then they hear their names.
LYDIE: It seems coming from the back of the room.
She go and open the window at the back.
LYDIE: Girls! and...Aurelie ?
BRIANNA: We just met her here.
AURELIE: I did not follow you and I never listened to your conversations if it's what you think. I'm bringing a croissant to Lyli and a love letter to my boyfriend. Okay ?
Djeff comes at the window.
DJEFF: How did you escape the supervisors ?
PAMELA: We went through the residence halls.
LYDIE: See ? My friends are the best actually
DJEFF: Mine were just not smart enough, but they came. Actually.
BRIANNA: Here Lydie. It's my second phone, and it's connected.
PAMELA: I brought one too but now it's usele...
DJEFF (Interrupting): Please Pam !
LYDIE: Give me both. I'll hand him one if he is nice.
AURELIE: Ooh I did not know prison was making people more handsome. I miss you. I brought you a letter
She throws the paper through the window, trying to be graceful.
AURELIE: This croissant is for you Lydie sweety
LYDIE: Thanks but I had breakfast already. What are you plans today girls ?
PAMELA: Going to the funfair with our babes.
LYDIE: Guess who is jealous.
PAMELA: Don't be. Aurelie won't come.
AURELIE: What...WHY ??
BRIANNA: Don't scream please. Cuz you don't have a boyfriend. It's the criteria.
AURELIE: Who lied to you ? You guys are BITCHES. Instead of comforting me because my boy is confined with a SEXY CHICK, you...
A VOICE (From a distance): HEY YOU!
Lydie closes the window quickly. Suddenly a man enters the room and take back the two phones she had. They're both sad again.
A few minute later, a 60 years old woman enters the room miming a joyful melody.
WOMAN (High pitched voice): I had to finish my lunch.
They stares at her, with crumpled faces. The woman freezes all of a sudden. She adjusts her glasses, frowning as if trying to see them better.
WOMAN: Oh...two quiet boys.
Djeff bursts out laughing, almost falling from his chair.
WOMAN: What ? Did I say something stupid ?
She comes toward Lydie.
WOMAN: Oh! You are not boy, sorry. It was the hood of your sweater I...
LYDIE (Interrupting): Don't worry
DJEFF: It's okay, she's used to.
LYDIE: Shut up.
WOMAN: My name is Jewel. You can call me nanny if you want. Guess who turned 62 last week.
She goes back to her desk, snigging.
DJEFF: Jewel, don't you prefer spending saturday with your family instead of two trouble makers like us ?
LYDIE: Don't count me in. You're the only one.
JEWEL: My family ? Oh my grand children are wonderful. Young like you...but before I start my story, did you eat ?
DJEFF: Nope.
They order some food, and when it arrives, it is the wrong delivery. Lydie is allergic to what she received, and Djeff complitely digusted by his.
JEWEL: You know what ? This big mistake reminds me of my husband. Albert. Ooh it was a rainy day...
_One hour later_
JEWEL:And we are now married for 40 years.
LYDIE: Waw...
DJEFF: 40 years of marriage. Congratulations.
JEWEL: Now tell me you two story.
LYDIE:What?! We don't have any common story...thankfully
DJEFF: Any. Any, any.
JEWEL: I meant how do you find yourself here, in this room today. That story.
DJEFF & LYDIE: Owww...
Everyone speak at his turn, telling his version of the story.
JEWEL:Do you want my point of view ?
DJEFF & LYDIE: Yes.
JEWEL: You are BOTH wrong. And...
She stares at them slowly smiling.
DJEFF: And?
She looks aside and adjust her glasses.
JEWEL: You are crazy in love with each other.
LYDIE: EWWWWW never.
Djeff burst out laughing, so hard that he bends.
DJEFF: The best part is when she says "crazy". I'm sorry Jewel, but you are actually a real nanny.
LYDIE: This guy is the most unbearable guy that I've ever met. It's im-pos-sible.
JEWEL: That's what I'm saying...Oh! It's remind me of my secret lover at the boarding school in the 60's. I was so rebellious...
She starts talking, without stoping. Lydie fall asleep and lay her head on the table, covering with her hood. Djeff is also sleepy, but act like listening, when he sees lydie sleeping, he stares with exasperation.
