SKETCH
VOIX OFF : Imagine a world where the gender relation is reversed.
Where Adam bit the apple first. Where women hold all the power. Where
women are knewn for their intelligence and men are knewn only for their
strength.
This story takes place in a wonderful world for women...
in 2021. We gonna show you an illustration of this world. Aretha
Connerie and Lara Tatouille are at the head of a big enterprise of
telecommunication. They receive Jean Tanrien who is looking for a job.
(Jean frappe à la porte du bureau de Lara et Aretha)
Aretha : Enter !
(Personne n'entre, Aretha et Lara se regardent, haussent les sourcils. Lara se lève pour ouvrir la porte - Jean apparait très angoissé, maladroit)
Lara : Sit down !
Aretha : So, you can begin, mister...
Jean : Mr Tanrien... Ok, i'm here because the job that you propose is very... (chuchotements de L&A) ...is very interesting and i think that i have all the qualities to land this job. In fact, i'm... (rires, chuchotements)
(L&A ressentent le malaise de J)
Aretha : Oh, sorry Mr Tanbien, we were speaking about the meeting that we'll have tomorrow.
Lara : Yes, exactly, can you continue, please ?
Jean : In fact, like i was saying, i think that i can bring many things to your business. I've worked whith the... (chuchotements, rires). Ok, what the fuck !?! Why you're looking at me like if i was a monkey ? It's because i'm a man, because you think that i'm less competent ???
Aretha : Well, Mr Tanbien (J reprend A) - Tanrien - Sorry... Mr Tanrien. You understant, Mister, we're not used to interview men for that kinf of job. I don't know if...
Lara : As the saying goes : "Men are the descendants of monkeys..."
Jean : Wait, wait wait... Are you insinuating that i'm unable to work here ?
Lara : Hem... In fact we were thinking that we surely have a more appropriated job for you.
Jean : Ok ! I see ! You want to give me a rotten job because of my sex ! You are making discrimination !!!
Lara : Calm down ! You're are irritating, you know that ? Don't you want a job ? We greet you with open arms and you aren't able to be grateful for that !
Aretha : (parle tout bas à L) Moderate your talk, you know that we need a male to help us carrying the files, bringing us coffee and to bring us a good corporate image !
Jean : You can't understand that i want a real job ! I don't want doing the cooking or being exploited.
Lara - I dont know
Really you think you're exploited but in fact you should thank us. We are not obligated to receive you or to make you work . We are already nice, no?
Seriously, it's unpolite of you , you have to respect the power in place, i dont want you to be at my place i have the power in my possession and i don't want to share it with half of the population
It's not possible !
The risk is too high
Understand it
I shouldnt acquaint you about the way we think... Normally we dont say that, but it's because we dont want to have troubles
I dont wanna lose my social and cultural advantages !
No way !
I'm an egoistic figure ? Yeah i know, and i dont want modifications.
I'm conscient of that, it's much more better than those who are not conscious !
I have true reason for my behavior, it's not a pretext !
Aretha connery : well you are a very moderated girl !
(Aretha se tourne vers Jean)
It 's good to discussing about that. There are both part. Your opinion is interesting
That's true , why putting people in cases all the time
There is a manner to do the things : social conventions are boring and wearing for both parts .
As i always say , threating people right is the best way to be respected and receive the same in return.
SO let's make peace
We accept to give you a better job because you are perceptive , ok? !
you look determinated for a man
So... perhaps we could integrate you in our team
But you know, it won't be easy
You'll have to prove yourself
Jean - i see but i'm not sure if i want to be
the one who always have to do more than the other under pretext that i have physical differences.
i dont know if i still want to work for two pretentious .
so let's have fun into (your) gender
if you're not able to share your power
you have no
consideration for your race , for the mankind (genre humain)
Lets go
to hell with your foolishness . (stupidité)
if you dont believe in progress
youre lost
if youre afraid to lose ground
you re going bananas (to go round the bend = perdre la tete )
if you dont threat me right
everyone lose in conflict you know that but dont apply it !
you prefer to be blind and deaf
but one time in your life you ll realize that taking the easiest way
is hurting like a snowball effect
I want to prove to you that all my life I've respected the women power. When I was victim of your injustice for men, I just shut up, now I am objecting.
Aretha - Hoo you're objecting!!! That's good (ironie), I don't really think that we need an anti-establishment man among us.
Jean - so why am i still here , why are you still speaking to me whereas you consider me like if i had the deep blue sea ?
Lara - Your mother asked us to take you in interview and to find you a job...
Jean - What ? Do I have to understand that if i have this interview it's just because you know her ?
Aretha - Not
exactly but it's one of the reason of this interview, the second reason
is because we need men in our society to give a modern image, it would be a good advert for us.
Lara - ...and we need men to carry the files, bring us coffee , etc
Jean - Oh, very rewarding...
Aretha - Shut up ! Enough ! You're a lucky one and you know that... What we're offering to you is an opportunity that we're not ready to renew. If you don't want it, don't take it... but don't come back in tears cuz the place will be supplied !
Jean - Right... I take the job, but you two can prepare yourself to have some surprises.
(Aretha & Lara ricannent)
Aretha - you shouldn't dream as much, Mr Tanbien... you don't know who we are.
