1. If you hang around an international airport every day for months, no security will ever bother you at all...
2. .. because your mug will never show up on security cameras
3. .. even after all these disappearances make headlines eventually..
4. .. as the local police is way too dumb to figure it out...
5. .. or had all been bought out for a few thousands
6. .. because, you know, the entire French economy is worth about that much
7. .. as opposed to an American virgin, valued at half-a-mil
8. When you need a favor from your foreign friend, shoot his wife
9. A barge is always way faster than a speeding car
10. After you hear about a "construction site" in the city of 10 million, you know exactly where to go..
11. .. and even though the site is huge, you'd know exactly which trailer to go to
12. You don't rescue your daughter's friend, because deep down you just know it was all her slutty fault
13. If you kidnap girls for sex, and every minute brings 50 euros in revenue, you still load them with "drugs" that make them comatose for days and weeks (if they pull through at all)
14. As everyone knows, nothing makes teenage girls want sex with johns more than huge, borderline-overdose, repeated hits of heroin..
15. .. results of which makes them hugely attractive to said johns

Regarding forced drugged girls made into slaves: most women into prostution resort to illegal drugs to cope with the lifestyle. And, yes, there are men vile enough to have sex with women who are like zombies, if they have an attractive body. Those "johns" are scum, lower than the thugs who exploit the ladies.

... and your insight comes from ?? Let me guess... watching this very movie ?
Because, you know, nothing brings more bucks to pimps than comatose zombies..

No, from Women's studies and what I came to know about women and transgender trafficking and abuse. I am not being a troll.

1-7. Yes exactly! So what's your question?
8. No when your friend is a dirty cop involved in sex trafficking and he's starting to piss you off you do what you have to.
9. A barge doesn't have to deal with one way systems and traffic.
10. Did it ever occur to you he followed them there??? No a spy would never think of that would he?
11. When in doubt follow the crowd.
12. She was dead.
13. That's exactly what you do. Again I don't see your point!
14. If you want your next hit you do your job. Remember they're addicted to drugs to make them more manageable.
15. Girls who keep their mouth shut and don't struggle? That building site is a rapists paradise my friend.

I've had a lot of sobering thoughts in my time Del Boy, it's them that started me drinking!

.. finally, a writer of this masterpiece. Great job explaining Paris. Next, do Germany or Russia, can't wait for comedic relief.

You've been an IMDb member for 9 years and you don't know how these "Things I learned from ..." threads work? Start here on one of the older ones that's still around:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090859/board/nest/15467918

There have been literally tens of thousands of these threads on IMDb over the past decade or so. They are not intended to start a point-by-point debate. If something is way off (like number 12; you're right, she was dead), then fine, point it out. Otherwise, these threads are just a joke.

I don't dance, tell jokes or wear my pants too tight, but I do know about a thousand songs.
