  Virginie : Where were you?

  Bill : Working oil rigs and being a fuckup when I wasn't.

• Bill : Let's pray. Thank you, Lord, for this and many other blessings. Thank you for this special day with Ally. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Maya?

  Virginie : [serving Allison]  There you go.

  Allison : Merci.

  Bill : Thank you.

  Bill : Allison Baker.

  Allison : What? What? You're so French now, I-I thought it was okay to talk about sex at the dinner table. Sorry.

  Bill : No, ma'am.

  Virginie : Okay.

• Virginie : Bill, let them go, okay? She's afraid.

  Bill : Afraid of what? I'm talking to her.

  Bill : Well, you tell me how it works then, 'cause nobody here's doing shit for me.

  Virginie : I do shit for you, okay?

  Virginie : 'Cause we're not from there.

• Old Bar Owner : [looking over photos]  What happened to your daughter, it's terrible. I still don't get how they could send a nice girl like that to jail. Look at all these monkeys.

  Virginie : Do any of them look familiar?

  Old Bar Owner : Hard to tell. They all look the same.

  Bill : Does he recognize anybody?

  Old Bar Owner : They come here, they're always trouble. It's like they own Marseille now.

• Virginie : Can you look at the photos more thoroughly, please?

  Old Bar Owner : Listen, you show me the guy you want in the photo and I'll say I recognize him. And like that it's done. I'll say the same thing in the court.

  Virginie : Wait, this is serious.

  Old Bar Owner : But, look, they're all guilty of something.

• Bill : Mer-ci.

  Virginie : Pourquoi?

  Bill : Everything, I guess.

• Nedjma : Bill, did you vote for Trump?

  Bill : No.

  Virginie : Ah. Voilà.

  Bill : I didn't vote.

  Nedjma : What?

  Virginie : Why didn't you vote?

  Bill : Got a record. I was arrested. They don't let you vote when that happens.

  Nedjma : [in French]  Awesome. He's been condemned.

• Virginie : When I see what you guys eat, I understand why you pray before.
