"We're on a square in the middle of Lyons to shoot a scene between Richard Bohringer and Saïd Diarra. The actors, wired for sound, take up their positions. Idrissa shouts, "Right, let's do the first take... Saïd, what did I tell you ?... Do it again... get back to your positions." Richard and Saïd turn round... They're now more than twenty yards from the crew. They're talking but we can't hear what they're saying... except for Idrissa who shouts across the square, "No, Saïd, you didn't do it the way I told you to..."Saïd turns round in surprise. Idrissa continues, pointing to the headphones that he is wearing, "Remember, I can hear everything you say... Don't go complaining to Richard..." Saïd looks at him sheepishly. Idrissa then bursts out laughing and points to his forehead to show little Saïd that instead of talking, he should start thinking..."
