00:00:56,001 --> 00:00:59,417
Hello, Mr Michaux!
You're no bother at all!

4
00:00:59,584 --> 00:01:02,709
I'm practicing in the park
with my boomerang.

5
00:01:02,876 --> 00:01:06,584
I do it before the office,
to relieve stress.

6
00:01:07,376 --> 00:01:11,209
Dinner Wednesday evening?
I'd be delighted!

7
00:01:14,501 --> 00:01:15,501
Hi!

8
00:01:16,334 --> 00:01:19,209
- Coming to the game Wednesday?
- No, I have a dinner date.

9
00:01:19,376 --> 00:01:21,542
- Coffee, Charlie.
- What dinner date?

10
00:01:21,834 --> 00:01:24,542
- One of our big customers invited me.
- Why you?

11
00:01:24,709 --> 00:01:28,626
At the bank, he stops at my window
and chats.

12
00:01:29,292 --> 00:01:31,292
- What about?
- Everything: politics,

13
00:01:31,459 --> 00:01:34,876
showbiz, sports.
He asks my opinion and I tell him.

14
00:01:35,042 --> 00:01:37,001
Why you? You're an idiot!

15
00:01:38,792 --> 00:01:42,292
Listen, there'll be bigshots
at that dinner!

16
00:01:42,459 --> 00:01:45,376
Mr Perier says
they're very interested in my ideas.

17
00:01:45,542 --> 00:01:48,334
So maybe the idiot isn't me, OK?

18
00:01:48,626 --> 00:01:49,917
That's wonderful!

19
00:01:50,084 --> 00:01:52,834
I'll definitely be there
on Wednesday,

20
00:01:53,001 --> 00:01:54,459
barring a snag...

21
00:02:05,126 --> 00:02:06,834
- You coming or going?
- Going.

22
00:02:07,001 --> 00:02:08,751
To Biarritz.

23
00:02:08,917 --> 00:02:11,126
- Why there?
- It's my dad's birthday.

24
00:02:11,292 --> 00:02:12,709
Hug him for me.

25
00:02:13,209 --> 00:02:14,542
A coffee, please.

26
00:02:14,709 --> 00:02:17,917
- Coming Wednesday?
- No, I'm busy. Are you going?

27
00:02:18,667 --> 00:02:20,917
Sure. I'm in a bind:
I don't have an idiot.

28
00:02:22,501 --> 00:02:25,626
I've looked all over.
Got one on hand?

29
00:02:26,251 --> 00:02:29,501
No, but I'll think about it.
I'm late.

30
00:02:33,751 --> 00:02:34,876
What's that?

31
00:02:35,334 --> 00:02:37,459
Dad collects them.
A beauty, huh?

32
00:02:37,876 --> 00:02:39,959
18th century, he'll love it.

33
00:02:40,126 --> 00:02:42,917
- Your dad collects ladies?
- He has over 300.

34
00:02:43,084 --> 00:02:44,834
He's retired: keeps him busy.

35
00:02:45,001 --> 00:02:49,251
Interesting!
Could he discuss his passion in public,

36
00:02:49,417 --> 00:02:51,959
- tell us the story of ladles?
- No, Pierre.

37
00:02:52,542 --> 00:02:54,792
- Does he come to Paris?
- No, Pierre, not Dad.

38
00:02:55,126 --> 00:02:57,167
It's a very original hobby.

39
00:02:57,834 --> 00:03:00,792
- You want him for your dinner?
- How can you say that?

40
00:03:01,126 --> 00:03:03,667
I'd take your dad
to an idiot dinner?

41
00:03:04,292 --> 00:03:05,209
Yes.

42
00:03:05,501 --> 00:03:06,751
So I'm a bastard, eh?

43
00:03:07,667 --> 00:03:08,459
Yes.

44
00:03:09,334 --> 00:03:11,084
I was just kidding.

45
00:03:11,251 --> 00:03:13,876
But I don't have an idiot yet.
I'm panicked.

46
00:03:30,834 --> 00:03:32,167
Hi, there.

47
00:03:35,876 --> 00:03:36,917
Sorry!

48
00:03:38,792 --> 00:03:39,792
Thanks.

49
00:03:51,792 --> 00:03:54,084
- Sorry, it fell out.
- That's OK.

50
00:03:57,459 --> 00:03:59,584
- Don't you recognize it?
- What?

51
00:04:00,376 --> 00:04:04,959
The Eiffel Tower! Made of matchsticks.
346,422 to be exact.

52
00:04:06,626 --> 00:04:07,792
You did that?

53
00:04:08,042 --> 00:04:09,417
One of my finest pieces.

54
00:04:11,667 --> 00:04:13,667
- You've done others?
- I'll say!

55
00:04:17,542 --> 00:04:20,876
...Take the problem of lift.
In this construction,

56
00:04:21,042 --> 00:04:23,959
that was the biggest challenge:
lift!

57
00:04:25,959 --> 00:04:27,917
But let's be basic: what is...

58
00:04:28,084 --> 00:04:29,792
a suspension bridge?

59
00:04:32,542 --> 00:04:36,959
The angle of the matches
can't be a tenth of a degree off!

60
00:04:37,542 --> 00:04:38,834
A tenth of a degree,

61
00:04:39,001 --> 00:04:40,292
think of it!

62
00:04:45,042 --> 00:04:47,792
The Concorde
was a different problem.

63
00:04:56,501 --> 00:04:59,084
- Here's a little quiz...
- We've arrived!

64
00:04:59,251 --> 00:05:00,209
Which took me...

65
00:05:00,376 --> 00:05:03,251
- longer, Eiffel or Concorde?
- We've arrived!

66
00:05:04,626 --> 00:05:06,209
Already!

67
00:05:06,542 --> 00:05:08,542
How time flies!

68
00:05:16,542 --> 00:05:19,459
Pierre Brochant, please.
It's Jean Cordier.

69
00:05:21,376 --> 00:05:22,751
Pierre? I've got one!

70
00:05:23,501 --> 00:05:25,959
- What's he like?
- A world champion!

71
00:05:45,167 --> 00:05:48,334
THE DINNER GAME

72
00:07:32,917 --> 00:07:35,251
PARIS - The Ministry of Finance

73
00:07:40,667 --> 00:07:42,084
How's the soccer fan?

74
00:07:42,251 --> 00:07:45,001
"Marseilles are turds,
for the birds!"

75
00:07:45,501 --> 00:07:47,417
Paris'll get it Wednesday!

76
00:07:49,209 --> 00:07:50,792
Look at that asshole!

77
00:07:51,001 --> 00:07:52,042
Sorry, Louisette.

78
00:07:52,209 --> 00:07:53,792
I'm used to it.

79
00:07:57,084 --> 00:07:59,917
Brochant Publishers here.
Mr Pignon, please.

80
00:08:00,501 --> 00:08:01,542
Speaking.

81
00:08:01,709 --> 00:08:03,876
<i>Mr Brochant for you.</i>

82
00:08:04,042 --> 00:08:05,501
<i>- Mr Pignon?</i>
- Yes.

83
00:08:06,084 --> 00:08:08,209
A friend, Jean Cordier, met you.

84
00:08:08,584 --> 00:08:10,834
<i>It was on the train.</i>

85
00:08:11,042 --> 00:08:12,251
Yes, of course...

86
00:08:12,751 --> 00:08:15,209
He said a lot about you.
I want to meet you.

87
00:08:16,042 --> 00:08:17,376
To meet me?

88
00:08:17,959 --> 00:08:21,876
Francois Pignon!
He was so awed, he was speechless.

89
00:08:22,042 --> 00:08:23,292
It'll be a delight!

90
00:08:28,126 --> 00:08:30,792
- Who's Michaux bringing?
- A boomerang collector.

91
00:08:30,959 --> 00:08:33,042
- That's a good one.
- Priceless, I hear.

92
00:08:33,209 --> 00:08:35,876
- How many will we be?
- Ten, with Pignon.

93
00:08:36,709 --> 00:08:37,876
It's shaping up.

94
00:08:44,084 --> 00:08:45,876
- Shit!
- What is it?

95
00:08:51,626 --> 00:08:52,709
Christine!

96
00:09:17,209 --> 00:09:20,584
- Did you cancel out of your dinner?
- My God, that's cold!

97
00:09:20,876 --> 00:09:24,001
- Did you cancel out?
- A sore back needs heat...

98
00:09:24,167 --> 00:09:26,334
- Dr. Sorbier said ice.
- You reached him?

99
00:09:26,501 --> 00:09:28,626
In his car.
He'll be here soon.

100
00:09:28,792 --> 00:09:33,001
Great. I need a drink.
A splash of scotch.

101
00:09:34,209 --> 00:09:37,917
- Does a bad back make one deaf?
- No, I didn't cancel out.

102
00:09:38,251 --> 00:09:40,876
You're still going
to that vicious dinner?

103
00:09:41,042 --> 00:09:44,417
It's great fun.
You think it's vicious...

104
00:09:45,042 --> 00:09:48,001
Don't sulk
just because I enjoy it!

105
00:09:48,959 --> 00:09:52,459
Cancel your dinner. Stay with me.
I'm a bit low.

106
00:09:52,626 --> 00:09:55,459
So come with me, for a change.
You'll enjoy

107
00:09:55,626 --> 00:09:56,501
our dinners.

108
00:09:56,667 --> 00:09:59,709
Inviting a poor guy
to make fun of him?

109
00:09:59,876 --> 00:10:02,959
But he's an idiot!
Idiots are fair game.

110
00:10:03,417 --> 00:10:05,667
A drink at his place,
then dinner.

111
00:10:05,876 --> 00:10:06,959
At a restaurant?

112
00:10:07,542 --> 00:10:10,167
No, his friend
has organized a big dinner.

113
00:10:10,334 --> 00:10:12,292
I'm nervous...
Which one?

114
00:10:13,584 --> 00:10:14,542
They're the same.

115
00:10:15,251 --> 00:10:18,792
This one's redder.
It's more imaginative.

116
00:10:21,251 --> 00:10:23,834
Mustn't forget my model file...

117
00:10:25,417 --> 00:10:28,959
He wants to do a book!
On my models, you realize?

118
00:10:29,417 --> 00:10:31,167
Hurry, you'll be late.

119
00:10:31,334 --> 00:10:32,834
You asked him here?

120
00:10:33,376 --> 00:10:36,751
To study him before the dinner.
I hear he's fabulous.

121
00:10:37,376 --> 00:10:40,417
I'll leave you two together.
Enjoy!

122
00:10:40,584 --> 00:10:42,834
- Where are you going?
- I have a dinner too.

123
00:10:43,001 --> 00:10:44,459
I didn't want to go...

124
00:10:44,626 --> 00:10:46,042
Dinner with whom?

125
00:10:47,209 --> 00:10:49,251
Is it him? I won't meet him.

126
00:10:49,417 --> 00:10:50,834
No, it's the doctor.

127
00:10:53,501 --> 00:10:55,751
- Sorbier.
- Come on up, doctor.

128
00:10:59,417 --> 00:11:00,751
Good evening, doctor.

129
00:11:01,834 --> 00:11:04,376
Fix him:
he has an important dinner tonight.

130
00:11:05,876 --> 00:11:09,667
An idiot dinner.
Each regular has to bring an idiot...

131
00:11:10,001 --> 00:11:11,167
Christine, please!

132
00:11:11,334 --> 00:11:13,626
The idiots don't know
why they've been picked.

133
00:11:13,792 --> 00:11:16,917
The fun is making them talk.
Hilarious!

134
00:11:17,084 --> 00:11:20,167
Not to me, so I won't go.
Good night, doctor.

135
00:11:25,376 --> 00:11:28,876
Sorry. It was for a sore back,
not a family squabble.

136
00:11:29,042 --> 00:11:30,209
Can I wash my hands?

137
00:11:30,917 --> 00:11:32,501
First door on the left.

138
00:11:33,751 --> 00:11:35,876
In college, we gave "dog" dinners.

139
00:11:36,042 --> 00:11:39,459
The ugliest girl got a prize.

140
00:11:39,626 --> 00:11:41,876
Yes, we did that too.

141
00:11:42,042 --> 00:11:44,501
- Idiots are funnier.
- But less definite.

142
00:11:44,667 --> 00:11:48,209
Some idiots are flagrant.

143
00:11:48,376 --> 00:11:50,626
This one's unmistakable.

144
00:11:54,959 --> 00:11:56,417
You look great.

145
00:11:56,709 --> 00:11:58,042
Thanks, Louisette.

146
00:11:58,209 --> 00:12:00,709
Have a nice evening.
Dazzle them!

147
00:12:03,001 --> 00:12:04,626
- A friend of yours?
- No.

148
00:12:04,792 --> 00:12:06,792
My friends are not that dumb.

149
00:12:06,959 --> 00:12:09,626
We pick aces.
This is big league.

150
00:12:11,334 --> 00:12:13,334
- Where do you find them?
- It's hard.

151
00:12:13,501 --> 00:12:17,042
A real manhunt.
We have scouts who tip us off.

152
00:12:17,209 --> 00:12:18,626
5th lumbar vertebra!

153
00:12:27,334 --> 00:12:29,876
- Is it serious?
- No, but call off your dinner.

154
00:12:30,042 --> 00:12:30,751
No!

155
00:12:30,917 --> 00:12:33,334
Rest your back tonight.
I'll stop by tomorrow.

156
00:12:34,792 --> 00:12:36,417
I have an A-one idiot coming!

157
00:12:36,584 --> 00:12:39,626
Give me a shot!
I don't care! Anything!

158
00:12:40,209 --> 00:12:41,959
The icebag and rest.

159
00:12:42,126 --> 00:12:43,959
Or you'll be out for 3 weeks.

160
00:12:44,376 --> 00:12:45,626
I'm jinxed.

161
00:12:46,251 --> 00:12:47,709
My phone book, please.

162
00:12:48,917 --> 00:12:50,084
The phone.

163
00:12:53,084 --> 00:12:54,834
What's his name?

164
00:13:01,417 --> 00:13:03,042
- What does he do?
- He's a tax man.

165
00:13:03,459 --> 00:13:05,626
That's dangerous.
What if he finds out?

166
00:13:06,459 --> 00:13:10,209
He won't. We're careful.
No idiot ever found out.

167
00:13:12,126 --> 00:13:13,501
He's out.

168
00:13:14,417 --> 00:13:16,251
- Holy shit!
- What?

169
00:13:17,167 --> 00:13:19,917
His message.
He tries to be witty. Pathetic.

170
00:13:22,959 --> 00:13:25,876
<i>Francois is out, but don't pout!</i>

171
00:13:26,042 --> 00:13:29,959
<i>No need to weep,
wait for the beep!</i>

172
00:13:31,584 --> 00:13:33,376
<i>Your turn to peep!</i>

173
00:13:34,542 --> 00:13:37,334
- Isn't he something?
- Outstanding, I'd say.

174
00:13:38,501 --> 00:13:40,376
- Here he is.
- Don't move, I'll get it.

175
00:13:44,084 --> 00:13:45,584
<i>It's Francois Pignon.</i>

176
00:13:45,834 --> 00:13:47,292
5th floor, left.

177
00:13:50,042 --> 00:13:51,209
He's coming.

178
00:13:51,417 --> 00:13:53,834
I'll leave you a sedative:
take 2

179
00:13:54,001 --> 00:13:56,084
- if you're in pain.
- Wait for him. It'll be fun.

180
00:13:56,251 --> 00:14:00,001
I'm late. See you tomorrow.
Call me at home

181
00:14:00,167 --> 00:14:03,126
- if it's worse.
- See you. Leave the door open.

182
00:14:05,542 --> 00:14:07,334
- Do me a favor.
- Certainly.

183
00:14:07,917 --> 00:14:10,501
Never invite me to dinner.
I'd wonder!

184
00:14:19,459 --> 00:14:21,251
- Good evening.
- Evening, sir.

185
00:14:23,917 --> 00:14:25,292
Go on in. It's open.

186
00:14:34,709 --> 00:14:36,667
Evening, Mr Pignon!
Come on in!

187
00:14:37,376 --> 00:14:38,167
I can't get up.

188
00:14:38,334 --> 00:14:43,042
I wrenched my back.
We'll have to put off our dinner.

189
00:14:43,209 --> 00:14:46,209
I'm sorry for you.
A sore back is no fun.

190
00:14:46,376 --> 00:14:48,751
It's silly. What are you doing
next Wednesday?

191
00:14:48,917 --> 00:14:51,334
Next Wednesday... nothing.

192
00:14:52,459 --> 00:14:55,542
My friend's giving another dinner:
you're invited.

193
00:14:56,709 --> 00:14:58,126
How very nice.

194
00:14:58,292 --> 00:15:02,167
We missed you today.
We won't miss you next week.

195
00:15:02,459 --> 00:15:07,251
...I'm talking about
the authentic boomerang,

196
00:15:07,417 --> 00:15:11,959
not those you find
in Sydney souvenir stores,

197
00:15:12,126 --> 00:15:17,626
the primitive boomerang
of proud aborigine warriors,

198
00:15:18,084 --> 00:15:19,459
that boomerang

199
00:15:20,001 --> 00:15:25,167
has a dynamism, a motion,
when it's thrown correctly,

200
00:15:26,167 --> 00:15:28,792
that is miraculous!

201
00:15:29,001 --> 00:15:30,084
How are you?

202
00:15:30,251 --> 00:15:34,209
Not too hot. I'm a wreck...
It's a real shame.

203
00:15:34,417 --> 00:15:35,709
Sit down...

204
00:15:36,626 --> 00:15:39,209
No, tonight it won't be possible.

205
00:15:40,084 --> 00:15:43,417
We haven't sat down
to dinner yet, so...

206
00:15:43,584 --> 00:15:46,459
It can behead a kangaroo from 150ft!

207
00:15:46,626 --> 00:15:49,209
OK, but don't count on us.

208
00:15:49,667 --> 00:15:50,876
Yes, he's here...

209
00:15:51,376 --> 00:15:52,667
Very nice.

210
00:15:54,292 --> 00:15:56,292
He has the look of a winner.

211
00:15:58,251 --> 00:16:01,459
I'll have him there next week.
'Bye!

212
00:16:08,084 --> 00:16:09,334
So how are you, Mr Pignon?

213
00:16:10,626 --> 00:16:11,959
Very well, thanks.

214
00:16:15,876 --> 00:16:18,417
The message on your machine
is so witty.

215
00:16:18,959 --> 00:16:22,042
Really? I wanted it to be original.

216
00:16:22,376 --> 00:16:24,001
I'm still laughing.

217
00:16:24,792 --> 00:16:28,376
Everybody comments on it.
Friends ask me to do

218
00:16:28,542 --> 00:16:30,834
- their messages.
- I can see why.

219
00:16:31,417 --> 00:16:33,501
I could do yours...

220
00:16:33,667 --> 00:16:34,501
No need.

221
00:16:34,792 --> 00:16:35,667
Takes a jiffy...

222
00:16:35,834 --> 00:16:37,792
No, it's fine as it is.

223
00:16:37,959 --> 00:16:39,584
A bit stuffy for you...

224
00:16:41,001 --> 00:16:43,084
I'm delighted to meet you.

225
00:16:43,417 --> 00:16:47,709
Likewise.
Since you called me at the Ministry,

226
00:16:47,876 --> 00:16:49,917
I've been walking on air.

227
00:16:50,084 --> 00:16:53,667
I thought it was a gag.
Did I sound dumb on the phone?

228
00:16:54,001 --> 00:16:56,251
Yes... I mean, no.
You were perfect.

229
00:16:57,834 --> 00:17:00,834
A big publisher
wanting to do a book on my models,

230
00:17:01,001 --> 00:17:03,251
inviting me to dinner.

231
00:17:03,417 --> 00:17:05,626
You've changed my life.

232
00:17:06,542 --> 00:17:08,709
The book project isn't firm yet...

233
00:17:11,167 --> 00:17:15,209
I brought photos of my finest pieces.

234
00:17:19,209 --> 00:17:20,209
Superb.

235
00:17:20,751 --> 00:17:22,584
- Took me 8 months.
- It shows.

236
00:17:22,751 --> 00:17:24,459
You do them at night?

237
00:17:24,626 --> 00:17:26,959
And weekends.
Whenever I have time.

238
00:17:27,126 --> 00:17:29,959
- Are you married?
- Yes... I mean, no.

239
00:17:30,542 --> 00:17:31,709
Tancarville Bridge.

240
00:17:31,876 --> 00:17:33,959
Great! Are you married or not?

241
00:17:34,751 --> 00:17:36,876
Let's say...
my wife left me.

242
00:17:39,042 --> 00:17:40,167
For a friend of mine.

243
00:17:41,042 --> 00:17:42,126
Those things happen.

244
00:17:42,751 --> 00:17:45,376
A guy I knew at the Ministry,
not a bad guy.

245
00:17:45,542 --> 00:17:47,667
I invited him home:
she fell for him.

246
00:17:48,376 --> 00:17:52,501
I don't know why,
because between us, he's no genius.

247
00:17:54,292 --> 00:17:56,126
How many matches in this one?

248
00:17:56,292 --> 00:17:57,667
He's no genius?

249
00:17:57,834 --> 00:18:02,126
The guy she ran off with.
What a dumbbell!

250
00:18:02,667 --> 00:18:04,042
Come on, say a number.

251
00:18:04,542 --> 00:18:08,834
Dumber than... You're smart:
how does he rate against you?

252
00:18:09,001 --> 00:18:13,126
Sorry to be vulgar, but there's only
one word: he's an asshole!

253
00:18:13,501 --> 00:18:14,792
My God!

254
00:18:15,042 --> 00:18:16,167
Well?

255
00:18:17,042 --> 00:18:19,584
How could she run off
with an asshole?

256
00:18:20,209 --> 00:18:24,001
I agree.
He only talks about windsurfing!

257
00:18:25,042 --> 00:18:27,751
- Can I meet him?
- You like windsurfing?

258
00:18:27,917 --> 00:18:29,584
I adore it.

259
00:18:30,459 --> 00:18:35,042
Then you'll love J.P. Benjamin!
We call him Dumbo.

260
00:18:35,209 --> 00:18:39,167
He's in the phone book.
Under Benjamin, not Dumbo.

261
00:18:44,834 --> 00:18:46,459
So how many matches?

262
00:18:47,501 --> 00:18:48,167
2000?

263
00:18:48,584 --> 00:18:51,626
346,422!

264
00:18:54,334 --> 00:18:55,917
That's not all.
How many

265
00:18:56,084 --> 00:18:57,542
tubes of glue?

266
00:18:59,334 --> 00:19:01,167
We're going to that dinner!

267
00:19:01,334 --> 00:19:03,542
- You can walk?
- I'll try.

268
00:19:04,626 --> 00:19:06,501
- Got a car?
- Sure.

269
00:19:06,667 --> 00:19:09,876
If you drive, we'll manage.
Help me up.

270
00:19:12,417 --> 00:19:13,667
Here we go.

271
00:19:18,209 --> 00:19:19,334
You OK?

272
00:19:20,751 --> 00:19:21,917
Take it easy.

273
00:19:25,084 --> 00:19:26,042
37!

274
00:19:27,542 --> 00:19:29,792
Tubes of glue. 37.

275
00:19:32,542 --> 00:19:36,209
We'll spend a wonderful evening,
Mr Pignon!

276
00:19:40,251 --> 00:19:43,501
I'm so sorry... Are you hurt?

277
00:19:45,376 --> 00:19:46,917
Any broken bones?

278
00:19:52,376 --> 00:19:54,126
- Now what?
- A chiropractor!

279
00:19:54,709 --> 00:19:57,042
- No need.
- A buddy. He's great.

280
00:19:57,751 --> 00:20:00,209
- I don't need him!
- The best in North Paris.

281
00:20:00,376 --> 00:20:03,417
I don't want him!
Go home, I'll be fine.

282
00:20:04,584 --> 00:20:05,667
And the dinner?

283
00:20:05,834 --> 00:20:08,417
It's off.
I'm in no shape now!

284
00:20:13,667 --> 00:20:15,084
The machine's on.

285
00:20:15,251 --> 00:20:17,709
<i>We're out. Speak after the beep.</i>

286
00:20:17,876 --> 00:20:19,959
Your message is a bit flat.

287
00:20:22,167 --> 00:20:24,417
<i>It's me.
I'm not coming home tonight.</i>

288
00:20:25,792 --> 00:20:28,084
<i>I may never come home again.</i>

289
00:20:28,792 --> 00:20:29,667
<i>Sorry to tell</i>

290
00:20:29,834 --> 00:20:33,042
<i>you this on a machine,
but maybe it's best.</i>

291
00:20:33,834 --> 00:20:35,334
<i>Good-bye, Pierre.</i>

292
00:20:42,417 --> 00:20:44,251
I'll be off...

293
00:20:46,751 --> 00:20:48,626
- Sure you don't need anything?
- No.

294
00:20:49,542 --> 00:20:51,167
Everything's fine. Good night.

295
00:20:57,834 --> 00:20:58,917
Sorry...

296
00:20:59,751 --> 00:21:01,459
I forgot my briefcase.

297
00:21:08,209 --> 00:21:11,376
I'm with you, Mr Brochant.
All the way!

298
00:21:11,542 --> 00:21:13,251
Thanks a lot, good-bye.

299
00:21:13,542 --> 00:21:14,667
Good-bye.

300
00:21:16,376 --> 00:21:17,542
What can I do for you?

301
00:21:17,709 --> 00:21:19,792
Nothing, I'm fine, good night.

302
00:21:19,959 --> 00:21:23,001
I really know
what you're going through.

303
00:21:23,167 --> 00:21:25,209
I'd like to be left alone!

304
00:21:25,376 --> 00:21:30,376
I said that when she left me.
And I nearly died of grief in my home.

305
00:21:30,542 --> 00:21:32,292
You've got a bad back, too!

306
00:21:32,459 --> 00:21:34,917
She hasn't left me.
She's a bit low.

307
00:21:35,084 --> 00:21:37,376
She'll be back.
Go home, good night!

308
00:21:37,542 --> 00:21:41,876
"She'll be back".
That's what I said. 2 years ago!

309
00:21:43,292 --> 00:21:44,959
I'm off to bed, turn out the lights.

310
00:21:45,126 --> 00:21:47,459
Can't I call my chiropractor buddy?

311
00:21:47,626 --> 00:21:48,542
No!

312
00:21:48,876 --> 00:21:52,917
He's great. And cheap.
Know what he charges for house calls?

313
00:21:53,376 --> 00:21:57,251
I'm with Prof. Sorbier
of the West Side Hospital.

314
00:21:57,417 --> 00:21:59,251
I don't need your buddy!

315
00:21:59,417 --> 00:22:02,376
Yours may be good,
but look at you now!

316
00:22:02,542 --> 00:22:04,334
Because you fell on me!

317
00:22:04,501 --> 00:22:08,042
Why do I argue with this jerk?

318
00:22:08,959 --> 00:22:14,459
You're like a horse that missed a jump.
At the track, they'd shoot you.

319
00:22:15,126 --> 00:22:16,667
Go away, Mr Pignon!

320
00:22:17,251 --> 00:22:18,917
Your back could be fatal.

321
00:22:19,084 --> 00:22:22,792
If the spinal marrow is affected,
it's paralysis.

322
00:22:22,959 --> 00:22:24,584
You'll need a miracle!

323
00:22:26,751 --> 00:22:29,334
- Call Sorbier!
- That's better!

324
00:22:32,334 --> 00:22:33,626
What's his number?

325
00:22:33,834 --> 00:22:34,792
In that book...

326
00:22:51,584 --> 00:22:54,209
Prof. Sorbier, please.
For Pierre Brochant.

327
00:22:55,834 --> 00:22:57,792
I need the doctor,
it's an emergency.

328
00:22:57,959 --> 00:22:59,417
There's no doctor here.

329
00:23:00,334 --> 00:23:01,959
Sorry, I dialed a wrong number.

330
00:23:03,084 --> 00:23:04,417
I skipped a line.

331
00:23:04,959 --> 00:23:06,292
The writing's so tiny...

332
00:23:06,459 --> 00:23:07,417
Hang up!

333
00:23:09,251 --> 00:23:10,917
Yes, I'm at his place...

334
00:23:11,292 --> 00:23:12,876
He's here...

335
00:23:13,459 --> 00:23:15,626
No, he's in rotten shape...

336
00:23:16,209 --> 00:23:19,501
A crick in his back.
Lousy luck, he can't move,

337
00:23:19,667 --> 00:23:21,292
he's spread out on the floor

338
00:23:21,459 --> 00:23:22,959
like an old sack.

339
00:23:23,667 --> 00:23:25,292
Who are you talking to?

340
00:23:25,792 --> 00:23:27,709
Who am I talking to?

341
00:23:28,792 --> 00:23:29,834
Really?

342
00:23:30,334 --> 00:23:34,334
Then I can tell you
he's in very bad shape.

343
00:23:34,501 --> 00:23:35,792
His wife left him, too.

344
00:23:35,959 --> 00:23:37,667
He's broken, body and soul!

345
00:23:38,042 --> 00:23:39,376
Stop that!

346
00:23:39,876 --> 00:23:44,292
I must hang up, his nerves
are cracking. I will. Bye!

347
00:23:44,959 --> 00:23:46,251
It was your sister!

348
00:23:46,417 --> 00:23:47,459
I don't have one.

349
00:23:49,126 --> 00:23:50,542
You don't?

350
00:23:50,709 --> 00:23:54,001
I said, "Who is this?"
She said, "His sister".

351
00:23:54,834 --> 00:23:55,917
He called Marlene!

352
00:23:56,709 --> 00:23:58,126
She's not your sister?

353
00:23:58,292 --> 00:24:00,209
Her name is Marlene Hissister!

354
00:24:01,542 --> 00:24:05,959
How could I know? She said:
"Marlene, his sister". It's confusing.

355
00:24:06,542 --> 00:24:07,626
Gimme that phone.

356
00:24:09,292 --> 00:24:10,334
Hurry!

357
00:24:10,501 --> 00:24:12,459
If my wife's gone,
she'll come running.

358
00:24:12,626 --> 00:24:14,917
All I need is a nymphomaniac!

359
00:24:15,084 --> 00:24:19,917
She's a nympho, too? Oh, my!

360
00:24:22,584 --> 00:24:23,834
Drop it!

361
00:24:25,209 --> 00:24:28,376
If I call, she'll go on for hours!
Say my wife's back.

362
00:24:29,876 --> 00:24:31,542
Hurry, dammit!

363
00:24:32,126 --> 00:24:34,167
- My wife's back, all's well.
- Really?

364
00:24:34,459 --> 00:24:35,626
That's what you say!

365
00:24:36,417 --> 00:24:37,501
Right, sorry.

366
00:24:38,042 --> 00:24:39,876
Marlene Hissister!

367
00:24:51,501 --> 00:24:53,251
Marlene Hissister?

368
00:24:53,584 --> 00:24:57,459
Me again. I'm calling to say
Mrs Brochant came home.

369
00:24:58,167 --> 00:24:59,126
Yes, a moment ago.

370
00:25:00,042 --> 00:25:03,709
She's fine, Mr Brochant is fine,
everybody's fine.

371
00:25:04,376 --> 00:25:07,042
His back is sore,
but he's taking it well..

372
00:25:07,584 --> 00:25:08,709
Say good-bye!

373
00:25:09,167 --> 00:25:13,917
I'm not really a friend of his.
He likes my models.

374
00:25:15,084 --> 00:25:19,459
I make matchstick models
of engineering feats,

375
00:25:19,626 --> 00:25:22,667
Tancarville bridge,
the Golden Gate bridge...

376
00:25:22,834 --> 00:25:25,792
- She doesn't care!
- She's very interested!

377
00:25:25,959 --> 00:25:27,292
Don't tie up my phone!

378
00:25:27,792 --> 00:25:29,917
Sorry, I have to go now,

379
00:25:30,084 --> 00:25:32,876
he needs me and in his shape
I can't leave him alone.

380
00:25:33,042 --> 00:25:34,042
Oh, my God!

381
00:25:34,209 --> 00:25:36,917
All alone? His wife isn't back?

382
00:25:37,626 --> 00:25:38,667
What?

383
00:25:39,126 --> 00:25:42,251
Sure she's back...
but she stepped out...

384
00:25:42,917 --> 00:25:47,209
She hasn't walked out,
she stepped out... To empty the garbage.

385
00:25:47,417 --> 00:25:49,042
What is this?

386
00:25:49,917 --> 00:25:52,751
Aries, with Gemini rising...

387
00:25:53,917 --> 00:25:56,917
- Aries don't lie... I'm not lying.
- Enough!

388
00:25:57,501 --> 00:25:58,709
I'll be right over.

389
00:26:01,751 --> 00:26:05,126
She said "I'll be right over"
and hung up.

390
00:26:05,292 --> 00:26:06,667
Give me that phone!

391
00:26:08,709 --> 00:26:12,209
Sorry, I played it too cool...
I didn't expect her

392
00:26:12,376 --> 00:26:14,501
to be so cunning.

393
00:26:21,417 --> 00:26:25,584
It's you, darling... I'll drop off
the dogs and be right over.

394
00:26:25,876 --> 00:26:30,751
Don't! My wife'll be home
any minute, don't come over!

395
00:26:31,376 --> 00:26:34,084
Sorry, but I doubt
she'll be returning.

396
00:26:34,251 --> 00:26:36,959
Know what I think?
She's gone back to Leblanc.

397
00:26:37,251 --> 00:26:41,959
Leblanc! Why bring him up?...
Leblanc, that's all over!

398
00:26:42,209 --> 00:26:46,917
I say she's with no one!
Please stay home tonight, OK?

399
00:26:48,459 --> 00:26:50,376
That nut won't listen!

400
00:26:51,292 --> 00:26:54,459
You can go now, I need to be alone.

401
00:26:54,792 --> 00:26:58,917
Can I help you to your room?
You can't sleep on the floor!

402
00:26:59,084 --> 00:27:00,959
Get me to the sofa.

403
00:27:03,917 --> 00:27:05,084
Gently.

404
00:27:06,167 --> 00:27:07,876
Look ahead.

405
00:27:11,209 --> 00:27:12,792
- They're all alike, eh?
- What?

406
00:27:12,959 --> 00:27:17,417
I overheard: I gather yours, too,
ran off with someone.

407
00:27:17,584 --> 00:27:19,459
She ran off with nobody.

408
00:27:20,001 --> 00:27:22,459
Mine ran off with nobody, too.

409
00:27:22,626 --> 00:27:27,251
Because J.P. Benjamin is a nobody.
But she ran off with him!

410
00:27:27,417 --> 00:27:29,334
Hadn't we said good-bye?

411
00:27:29,501 --> 00:27:30,792
Yes, I'll be off...

412
00:27:30,959 --> 00:27:35,292
I'll get you some water
for the pills. Then I'll leave.

413
00:27:37,501 --> 00:27:39,084
Is he a friend of yours?

414
00:27:39,626 --> 00:27:41,667
Go to hell!

415
00:27:49,959 --> 00:27:51,084
Briefcase!

416
00:27:58,959 --> 00:28:03,167
When you asked about my life,
I didn't say "Go to hell".

417
00:28:03,334 --> 00:28:04,792
Farewell, Mr Brochant.

418
00:28:06,917 --> 00:28:09,292
Leblanc was my best friend.
We quarreled

419
00:28:09,459 --> 00:28:10,959
2 years ago. OK?

420
00:28:12,376 --> 00:28:15,834
Over what?
He made a play for your wife!

421
00:28:16,001 --> 00:28:18,126
No, I stole her from him.

422
00:28:18,459 --> 00:28:20,834
He lived with Christine,
she left him for me.

423
00:28:22,167 --> 00:28:23,626
They wrote a novel together

424
00:28:23,792 --> 00:28:26,001
- and brought it to me.
- Then what?

425
00:28:27,501 --> 00:28:30,584
I took both, the novel and Christine.

426
00:28:31,709 --> 00:28:35,459
All you windsurfers
swipe your friends' wives!

427
00:28:36,126 --> 00:28:37,876
I'm not a windsurfer!

428
00:28:38,376 --> 00:28:40,126
Listen,
you told me before...

429
00:28:40,292 --> 00:28:44,542
I don't do it enough to swipe
my friends'... What am I saying?

430
00:28:44,709 --> 00:28:46,334
Is your curiosity

431
00:28:46,501 --> 00:28:47,751
satisfied?

432
00:28:48,501 --> 00:28:50,501
Why don't you phone him?

433
00:28:50,834 --> 00:28:51,542
Who?

434
00:28:51,917 --> 00:28:53,876
Him. To see if she went back to him!

435
00:28:54,042 --> 00:28:57,167
I call and say:
"Did the woman I stole come back?"

436
00:28:57,959 --> 00:28:59,417
You'd be clued in.

437
00:28:59,584 --> 00:29:03,584
I called J.P. Benjamin:
"Have you left with Florence?"

438
00:29:03,751 --> 00:29:06,626
He said yes and hung up.
At least I knew.

439
00:29:09,584 --> 00:29:10,751
What if I call him?

440
00:29:11,251 --> 00:29:12,209
You?

441
00:29:12,376 --> 00:29:15,751
I say: "I'm a friend of Mrs. Brochant,
where can I reach her?"

442
00:29:16,334 --> 00:29:18,084
He won't suspect a thing!

443
00:29:18,251 --> 00:29:19,959
I'm just trying to help.

444
00:29:20,126 --> 00:29:22,751
Thanks. But she's not with him.
I need rest.

445
00:29:24,501 --> 00:29:25,792
I won't insist.

446
00:29:26,709 --> 00:29:28,126
Good night!

447
00:29:36,084 --> 00:29:39,751
If I tell you exactly what to say,
could you do it?

448
00:29:39,917 --> 00:29:43,042
Sometimes I feel
you think I'm an idiot.

449
00:29:45,042 --> 00:29:47,459
Of course I can! What do I say?

450
00:29:47,626 --> 00:29:50,167
We could use the book they wrote.

451
00:29:50,334 --> 00:29:52,959
Tell him you're a movie producer.

452
00:29:53,126 --> 00:29:54,626
You've read the book

453
00:29:54,792 --> 00:29:57,042
- and want the movie rights.
- Good idea!

454
00:29:57,209 --> 00:29:58,751
Then casually,

455
00:29:58,917 --> 00:30:01,167
- you ask about his co-author.
- Co-author?

456
00:30:02,542 --> 00:30:04,292
My wife! He wrote it with her!

457
00:30:05,042 --> 00:30:06,709
Right, sorry.

458
00:30:06,876 --> 00:30:09,209
- It'll never work!
- It will!

459
00:30:09,376 --> 00:30:11,292
- It's not easy, but I got it.
- Not easy?

460
00:30:11,459 --> 00:30:12,834
You're a producer, OK?

461
00:30:13,751 --> 00:30:15,376
You have a company in Paris.

462
00:30:15,542 --> 00:30:17,584
No, he knows everybody here.
Foreign.

463
00:30:17,751 --> 00:30:19,751
American? German?

464
00:30:20,417 --> 00:30:22,501
Belgian! That's it!

465
00:30:23,084 --> 00:30:23,917
Why Belgian?

466
00:30:24,251 --> 00:30:25,292
It suits you.

467
00:30:25,792 --> 00:30:30,917
You're a Belgian producer, you read
"The Merry-Go-Round" and want to buy

468
00:30:31,084 --> 00:30:33,417
- the movie rights, OK?
- Is it a good book?

469
00:30:34,376 --> 00:30:35,959
Awful!
What's the problem?

470
00:30:36,542 --> 00:30:38,876
- It bothers me a bit.
- Why?

471
00:30:39,042 --> 00:30:41,876
If it's awful, why do I want the rights?

472
00:30:44,459 --> 00:30:46,667
You're not a producer, are you?

473
00:30:47,084 --> 00:30:47,792
No.

474
00:30:47,959 --> 00:30:49,501
- You're not Belgian, either?
- No.

475
00:30:49,667 --> 00:30:54,042
You're not calling about the book,
you're calling about my wife!

476
00:30:56,584 --> 00:30:59,209
That's tricky, but clever as hell!

477
00:30:59,834 --> 00:31:02,917
- What's his number?
- 4745...

478
00:31:03,209 --> 00:31:04,542
Never mind, I'll dial it.

479
00:31:05,834 --> 00:31:08,959
- His name is Just Leblanc.
- He has no first name?

480
00:31:09,834 --> 00:31:11,542
I told you: Just Leblanc.

481
00:31:15,501 --> 00:31:18,667
Leblanc's his name,
Just his first name.

482
00:31:21,167 --> 00:31:23,334
Mr Pignon, your first name's

483
00:31:23,501 --> 00:31:25,459
Francois. Just think:

484
00:31:25,626 --> 00:31:27,667
His is Just.

485
00:31:29,626 --> 00:31:31,667
We're wasting time.

486
00:31:32,084 --> 00:31:34,292
My wife wrote under her maiden name,
Le Guirrec.

487
00:31:34,876 --> 00:31:36,792
She's from Brittany?

488
00:31:37,334 --> 00:31:38,501
Please concentrate!

489
00:31:38,917 --> 00:31:40,001
Sorry.

490
00:31:40,584 --> 00:31:44,292
At the end, ask him where
you can contact

491
00:31:44,459 --> 00:31:47,417
Christine Le Guirrec.
I'll put on the loudspeaker.

492
00:31:47,584 --> 00:31:50,042
- Go to it.
- With a Belgian accent?

493
00:31:55,584 --> 00:31:59,834
Can I talk to Mr Just Leblanc, like?

494
00:32:00,334 --> 00:32:01,501
<i>Speaking.</i>

495
00:32:01,959 --> 00:32:03,917
Good evening, Mr Leblanc,

496
00:32:04,334 --> 00:32:07,542
George Van Brueghel here,
sorry to bother you so late,

497
00:32:07,709 --> 00:32:11,334
I'm a Belgian producer,
just got in from Belgium, like,

498
00:32:11,501 --> 00:32:14,334
and I'm very interested in your novel...

499
00:32:14,792 --> 00:32:16,709
"The Merry-Go-Round"!

500
00:32:19,126 --> 00:32:22,459
I'd like to discuss buying
the movie rights.

501
00:32:22,876 --> 00:32:24,417
Is this a gag?

502
00:32:25,167 --> 00:32:26,917
Not at all, why a gag?

503
00:32:27,084 --> 00:32:29,292
- <i>Etienne?</i>
- What?

504
00:32:29,751 --> 00:32:31,667
Cut it out, I know it's you.

505
00:32:34,501 --> 00:32:39,501
You're mistaken. I'm not Etienne,
I'm a producer from Brussels.

506
00:32:39,667 --> 00:32:41,001
<i>What company?</i>

507
00:32:41,167 --> 00:32:42,251
Beg pardon?

508
00:32:42,584 --> 00:32:44,751
<i>What's your company called?</i>

509
00:32:45,084 --> 00:32:47,001
Flatland Films.

510
00:32:47,792 --> 00:32:50,376
A young, but dynamic company.

511
00:32:50,792 --> 00:32:54,417
- And you're interested in my novel?
- Very interested.

512
00:32:54,709 --> 00:32:56,084
For movies or TV?

513
00:32:57,501 --> 00:33:00,751
A movie, for the big screen.

514
00:33:00,917 --> 00:33:02,501
Not the idiot box!

515
00:33:03,417 --> 00:33:05,376
I want to do the screenplay

516
00:33:05,542 --> 00:33:06,501
myself.

517
00:33:07,042 --> 00:33:10,876
No problem.
But we're a small company

518
00:33:11,042 --> 00:33:15,334
<i>with limited budgets.
If you're not too greedy...</i>

519
00:33:16,959 --> 00:33:18,792
<i>We'll talk money later.</i>

520
00:33:18,959 --> 00:33:20,501
When can I meet you, Mr...?

521
00:33:21,542 --> 00:33:23,292
- Van Breughel...
- My wife!

522
00:33:23,459 --> 00:33:25,584
I'll call tomorrow for a meeting.

523
00:33:26,334 --> 00:33:29,167
- Talk to you tomorrow.
- Till tomorrow!

524
00:33:30,417 --> 00:33:32,251
There! We have the rights!

525
00:33:36,459 --> 00:33:39,667
And for a song, I'd say!
He fell for it, he did!

526
00:33:41,001 --> 00:33:41,834
And my wife?

527
00:33:43,126 --> 00:33:44,126
What?

528
00:33:46,376 --> 00:33:48,084
He forgot my wife!

529
00:33:48,792 --> 00:33:51,334
He gabs 5 minutes
and forgets my wife!

530
00:33:52,542 --> 00:33:53,667
I blew it!

531
00:33:54,876 --> 00:33:57,376
This tops my wildest dreams!

532
00:33:57,751 --> 00:33:59,501
Indeed, I blew it.

533
00:33:59,792 --> 00:34:02,167
This is record breaking!

534
00:34:02,751 --> 00:34:04,334
- I'll call back.
- Gimme that phone!

535
00:34:04,501 --> 00:34:08,834
I say: "How can I reach
your co-author, Christine Le Guirrec?"

536
00:34:09,001 --> 00:34:10,626
Gimme that phone!

537
00:34:10,792 --> 00:34:12,917
Too bad, we were about to find out.

538
00:34:15,126 --> 00:34:19,584
You'll say: "How can I reach
your co-author, Christine Le Guirrec?"

539
00:34:20,126 --> 00:34:21,834
Not a word more.

540
00:34:23,417 --> 00:34:25,917
...Some guy with an appalling accent...

541
00:34:26,417 --> 00:34:30,292
Van Brueghel...
His company's called Flatland Films...

542
00:34:30,626 --> 00:34:32,292
I never heard of it, either...

543
00:34:32,459 --> 00:34:34,959
Hold on, the other line's ringing.

544
00:34:37,501 --> 00:34:40,959
Sorry to disturb you,
it's Van Breughel again.

545
00:34:41,376 --> 00:34:44,959
My agent's on the other line.
I'll call you. What's your number?

546
00:34:45,584 --> 00:34:47,751
0145905603.

547
00:34:51,834 --> 00:34:53,667
- He cut me off.
- I did, you dolt!

548
00:34:53,834 --> 00:34:54,792
What do you mean, dolt?

549
00:34:57,167 --> 00:34:59,126
You gave him my phone number!

550
00:34:59,459 --> 00:35:02,584
Sure, he wants to call me back.

551
00:35:04,167 --> 00:35:06,042
You never stop, do you?

552
00:35:07,501 --> 00:35:10,584
Sorry, I'm out of my depth.
I'm doing my best, but...

553
00:35:11,042 --> 00:35:12,792
World class!

554
00:35:12,959 --> 00:35:15,459
Maybe the world champion!

555
00:35:17,209 --> 00:35:18,334
It's ringing!

556
00:35:19,959 --> 00:35:22,334
It rings, and he's happy!

557
00:35:22,667 --> 00:35:24,001
He's calling... Don't we answer?

558
00:35:24,709 --> 00:35:28,209
<i>We're out, speak after the beep.</i>

559
00:35:29,292 --> 00:35:30,251
<i>Pierre, it's Just.</i>

560
00:35:30,834 --> 00:35:34,376
<i>I wondered about
the Belgian weirdo, then realized</i>

561
00:35:34,542 --> 00:35:36,959
<i>you're looking for your wife.</i>

562
00:35:37,126 --> 00:35:40,709
Ask me yourself,
without the accent. 'Bye.

563
00:35:41,876 --> 00:35:44,376
Just? It's me. Where is she?

564
00:35:45,709 --> 00:35:49,334
I've waited 2 years for this.
But I feel sorry for you.

565
00:35:50,376 --> 00:35:52,209
Don't. Just say if she's with you.

566
00:35:52,626 --> 00:35:54,917
She called to say she'd left you.

567
00:35:55,084 --> 00:35:56,584
<i>She was very upset.</i>

568
00:35:56,751 --> 00:35:58,959
- She say where she was going?
- No.

569
00:35:59,542 --> 00:36:00,834
Where could she be?

570
00:36:02,876 --> 00:36:04,126
Painful, eh?

571
00:36:05,709 --> 00:36:08,667
You went through it.
I've got a bad back, to boot!

572
00:36:08,834 --> 00:36:09,917
<i>No kidding?</i>

573
00:36:10,126 --> 00:36:13,917
You'd laugh if you saw me.
Bent over, unable to move.

574
00:36:14,834 --> 00:36:16,251
Want me to stop by?

575
00:36:16,584 --> 00:36:20,542
You're a pal, I'd rather be alone.
Thanks again.

576
00:36:23,459 --> 00:36:26,251
If she does call you again...

577
00:36:26,751 --> 00:36:28,376
I'll call you, I promise.

578
00:36:28,584 --> 00:36:29,584
<i>Thanks.</i>

579
00:36:30,584 --> 00:36:32,917
I don't deserve a friend like you.

580
00:36:43,876 --> 00:36:45,792
Hand me that pad, please.

581
00:36:47,376 --> 00:36:48,959
Put this on the door.

582
00:36:50,959 --> 00:36:53,042
"I've taken a sedative,

583
00:36:53,626 --> 00:36:54,959
"I'm asleep,

584
00:36:56,251 --> 00:36:58,542
"I need to be alone tonight."

585
00:36:58,709 --> 00:37:01,834
- I hope she won't bug me!
- Shall I wait for her?

586
00:37:02,292 --> 00:37:05,376
- You turn in, I'll stand guard.
- You've done enough!

587
00:37:05,834 --> 00:37:07,667
I goofed on the phone then.

588
00:37:07,834 --> 00:37:11,459
I'm really sorry,
I truly want to help you.

589
00:37:11,876 --> 00:37:14,126
Just help me get to bed.

590
00:37:45,126 --> 00:37:49,001
If you feel low, call me.
I'll be back in a second!

591
00:37:49,167 --> 00:37:50,084
No!

592
00:38:00,834 --> 00:38:03,751
Know what I lacked most
when mine left?

593
00:38:04,792 --> 00:38:06,792
A friend to hold my hand.

594
00:38:07,042 --> 00:38:08,584
Good-bye.

595
00:38:17,792 --> 00:38:19,917
Miss Hissister! This is for you.

596
00:38:21,001 --> 00:38:22,459
We spoke on the phone.

597
00:38:23,042 --> 00:38:24,834
Aries, with Gemini rising.

598
00:38:25,001 --> 00:38:29,917
I called the doctor and got you.
Later I realized: you're his girlfriend.

599
00:38:31,417 --> 00:38:32,417
Girlfriend?

600
00:38:32,792 --> 00:38:36,876
Sorry I garbled it all.
It's very simple:

601
00:38:37,042 --> 00:38:40,792
his wife left him,
but he doesn't care. He's asleep

602
00:38:40,959 --> 00:38:42,959
and can't be disturbed.

603
00:38:43,126 --> 00:38:44,042
Got that?

604
00:38:45,792 --> 00:38:46,542
Perfectly.

605
00:38:46,709 --> 00:38:48,292
I'll have a word with him!

606
00:38:48,459 --> 00:38:49,292
Marlene!

607
00:38:50,792 --> 00:38:52,376
May I call you Marlene?

608
00:38:52,834 --> 00:38:53,667
Feel free.

609
00:38:54,209 --> 00:38:58,709
I haven't known him long,
but I understand him: so take my advice.

610
00:39:00,042 --> 00:39:00,834
I'm listening.

611
00:39:01,292 --> 00:39:05,209
Give it time: his wife has left him,
but don't rush in.

612
00:39:05,376 --> 00:39:08,334
Be the sensuous,
amusing mistress you are,

613
00:39:08,501 --> 00:39:11,959
all garter belts and champagne...

614
00:39:12,126 --> 00:39:15,376
Keep on seeing him
3 to 4 times a week,

615
00:39:15,542 --> 00:39:18,459
wait for your turn.
He'll fall when it's due.

616
00:39:19,834 --> 00:39:21,917
He said he saw me
3 to 4 times a week?

617
00:39:22,584 --> 00:39:25,584
I felt he'd see you
every day if he could.

618
00:39:25,751 --> 00:39:30,167
So don't insist.
Go home, it's your best move.

619
00:39:32,501 --> 00:39:35,126
You're right, I won't wake him.

620
00:39:36,167 --> 00:39:38,334
Good girl!
I'll make a prediction:

621
00:39:38,501 --> 00:39:40,917
he'll soon knock at your door
with flowers.

622
00:39:41,751 --> 00:39:43,459
Was he taking you to a dinner?

623
00:39:43,626 --> 00:39:45,334
Yes. Did he mention me?

624
00:39:47,084 --> 00:39:49,417
I'd have known you, anyway.

625
00:39:51,751 --> 00:39:53,251
Nice work!

626
00:40:00,001 --> 00:40:02,751
I saw the light on,
figured you weren't asleep.

627
00:40:02,917 --> 00:40:06,792
- You still here?
- Thank your stars I am!

628
00:40:06,959 --> 00:40:08,126
- Why?
- We had a visitor.

629
00:40:08,667 --> 00:40:10,376
- Who?
- The nutcase.

630
00:40:10,709 --> 00:40:11,501
Marlene?

631
00:40:11,667 --> 00:40:14,209
She just left.
Wanted to force your door.

632
00:40:14,376 --> 00:40:19,292
You're lucky a guy called Pignon
told her: "Keep out!"

633
00:40:20,042 --> 00:40:21,376
You got rid of Marlene?

634
00:40:21,834 --> 00:40:25,292
I don't want to brag,
but I was pretty cool.

635
00:40:25,459 --> 00:40:29,667
Sweet but firm. Got rid of her fast.
You won't see her again!

636
00:40:30,376 --> 00:40:31,376
That's good news.

637
00:40:31,542 --> 00:40:35,251
A pity, because she's a real looker.

638
00:40:36,292 --> 00:40:37,376
What does she do?

639
00:40:38,251 --> 00:40:39,167
She's a writer.

640
00:40:39,959 --> 00:40:43,459
Another one?
You sleep with all your authors?

641
00:40:43,626 --> 00:40:45,126
None of your damn business.

642
00:40:45,834 --> 00:40:50,084
Maybe not. But I say it isn't nice.

643
00:40:50,251 --> 00:40:52,334
I never cheated on my wife.

644
00:40:52,501 --> 00:40:55,709
And the Finance Ministry's
a bunny hutch!

645
00:40:56,459 --> 00:40:58,542
Leave me alone now.

646
00:41:00,751 --> 00:41:03,042
Never ends tonight!

647
00:41:12,376 --> 00:41:13,584
Who is it?

648
00:41:16,376 --> 00:41:17,667
It's Mr Leblanc.

649
00:41:20,251 --> 00:41:23,042
- You came...
- I felt bad leaving you all alone.

650
00:41:23,209 --> 00:41:25,792
He wasn't alone.
Even cared for, right?

651
00:41:26,167 --> 00:41:28,792
Yes, by Mr Pignon who is leaving!

652
00:41:29,751 --> 00:41:30,459
I'm off.

653
00:41:30,626 --> 00:41:34,751
- I'll leave my photos to soothe you.
- Nice of you, but keep them.

654
00:41:34,959 --> 00:41:37,626
They're models
I make with matchsticks...

655
00:41:37,792 --> 00:41:39,667
Here's one of my finest...

656
00:41:39,834 --> 00:41:42,209
He's not here to talk matchsticks.

657
00:41:42,376 --> 00:41:43,667
Sure, sorry.

658
00:41:43,834 --> 00:41:46,376
Take your photos,
I'm in no mood for them.

659
00:41:47,417 --> 00:41:49,709
- What are you up to now?
- Still writing.

660
00:41:49,876 --> 00:41:51,292
But I'm published.

661
00:41:51,876 --> 00:41:53,501
- Writing what...?
- Later.

662
00:41:53,667 --> 00:41:55,334
I have bad news.
She called.

663
00:41:57,626 --> 00:42:00,459
She was torn:
coming here or a silly move.

664
00:42:00,626 --> 00:42:02,626
I tried to convince her, but...

665
00:42:03,459 --> 00:42:04,626
A silly move?

666
00:42:05,626 --> 00:42:07,626
Going to Meneaux's place.

667
00:42:08,042 --> 00:42:08,834
Pascal Meneaux,

668
00:42:09,001 --> 00:42:11,584
the ad man.
She'll be there now.

669
00:42:11,751 --> 00:42:12,709
- No!
- Yes.

670
00:42:12,876 --> 00:42:15,042
He's wooed her for weeks.
Tonight she...

671
00:42:16,167 --> 00:42:17,209
Aren't you done?

672
00:42:18,292 --> 00:42:22,042
I'm arranging them chronologically...

673
00:42:22,209 --> 00:42:23,917
- Do that at home!
- OK!

674
00:42:25,626 --> 00:42:27,042
Meneaux's the pits!

675
00:42:27,209 --> 00:42:29,501
That's why she went.
She's mad at you...

676
00:42:30,001 --> 00:42:32,459
That dime-store Romeo,
she's crazy!

677
00:42:32,792 --> 00:42:34,834
Mine picked a real dummy!

678
00:42:35,001 --> 00:42:36,626
Get out of here!

679
00:42:37,167 --> 00:42:39,542
Good night, Mr Brochant.

680
00:42:41,001 --> 00:42:43,501
- Where does he live?
- He has a love nest.

681
00:42:43,667 --> 00:42:45,334
But as to the address...

682
00:42:45,501 --> 00:42:46,709
Good night, Mr Leblanc.

683
00:42:47,709 --> 00:42:50,084
It's very secret. No one knows it.

684
00:42:50,251 --> 00:42:51,459
Good night, Mr Brochant!

685
00:42:53,584 --> 00:42:55,709
There must be a way to find it!

686
00:42:56,459 --> 00:42:58,501
Meneaux had a tax audit!

687
00:43:00,334 --> 00:43:04,667
Pascal Meneaux, the ad man:
I've seen his file at the Ministry.

688
00:43:04,834 --> 00:43:08,501
My pal's on his case.
Meneaux has a love nest,

689
00:43:08,667 --> 00:43:12,459
but it's no secret.
Not to us, anyway!

690
00:43:13,501 --> 00:43:15,042
Good night, Mr Brochant!

691
00:43:16,834 --> 00:43:18,292
Get him back in here!

692
00:43:27,792 --> 00:43:29,626
Mr Brochant wants to talk to you.

693
00:43:34,626 --> 00:43:37,376
Forgive me, Francois,
I was edgy before.

694
00:43:37,959 --> 00:43:39,667
I admit I was very hurt.

695
00:43:39,834 --> 00:43:44,251
I rid you of that nut, you don't
thank me. You spurn my photos...

696
00:43:44,417 --> 00:43:47,376
- Sorry. A drink, Francois?
- No, thanks.

697
00:43:50,209 --> 00:43:53,084
I'm just arranging them.
I won't bother you.

698
00:43:53,417 --> 00:43:54,501
You're no bother.

699
00:43:55,709 --> 00:43:58,292
He does amazing things with matches!

700
00:43:58,667 --> 00:43:59,626
Really?

701
00:43:59,792 --> 00:44:02,459
This was my first, 343 matches.

702
00:44:02,626 --> 00:44:05,084
- Pretty rudimentary.
- But promising.

703
00:44:05,251 --> 00:44:06,626
Wait for the next ones!

704
00:44:07,167 --> 00:44:09,876
Could you get us that address?

705
00:44:10,042 --> 00:44:11,876
I'd have to call Cheval.

706
00:44:12,042 --> 00:44:14,626
I hate to now:
he's watching soccer on TV.

707
00:44:15,209 --> 00:44:17,334
- An oil derrick.
- Superb. You saw it?

708
00:44:17,917 --> 00:44:18,959
Yes.

709
00:44:19,126 --> 00:44:20,792
Know what I called it?

710
00:44:21,001 --> 00:44:24,001
Beau Derrick.
After the actress Bo Derek!

711
00:44:24,667 --> 00:44:25,834
Beau Derrick, Bo Derek!

712
00:44:26,001 --> 00:44:28,584
We had a good giggle at the office!

713
00:44:29,876 --> 00:44:33,917
My wife is with a deadly sex-fiend!
Please call Cheval!

714
00:44:34,626 --> 00:44:36,501
- Let's wait till half time.
- Why?

715
00:44:36,667 --> 00:44:41,126
If the game's dicey, he'll tell me
to buzz off. Wait for half time.

716
00:44:41,292 --> 00:44:45,001
- When is that?
- Soon. We'd best watch the game.

717
00:44:45,167 --> 00:44:47,251
- Got a TV?
- Not for soccer games!

718
00:44:47,417 --> 00:44:49,376
- It's Paris-Marseilles!
- Who cares!

719
00:44:50,292 --> 00:44:52,251
Sorry. The TV's in the den.

720
00:44:57,542 --> 00:45:00,251
"Go to it, Paris! Go to it!"

721
00:45:04,417 --> 00:45:07,667
- He's a bit of an idiot!
- That's why I invited him.

722
00:45:07,917 --> 00:45:10,626
- Is he the guy...?
- Yes! It's awful!

723
00:45:11,251 --> 00:45:12,459
No kidding!

724
00:45:12,626 --> 00:45:14,917
- He's your dinner dolt?
- I've had it!

725
00:45:17,417 --> 00:45:20,542
- It's not funny!
- Sorry, but you with a bad back

726
00:45:20,709 --> 00:45:23,084
and a broken heart, in his hands...

727
00:45:25,501 --> 00:45:26,917
Stop it!

728
00:45:27,084 --> 00:45:29,834
When she said she'd left you,
I didn't laugh.

729
00:45:30,001 --> 00:45:32,334
But seeing you with that jerk...

730
00:45:39,417 --> 00:45:41,167
Don't move.

731
00:45:42,501 --> 00:45:44,209
Atta boy!

732
00:45:46,001 --> 00:45:47,001
Pignon!

733
00:45:47,667 --> 00:45:48,751
Coming!

734
00:45:54,417 --> 00:45:56,334
Paris scored!
Half time's in a min...

735
00:45:57,751 --> 00:46:00,501
- She's come home!
- Francois Pignon... Marlene.

736
00:46:03,251 --> 00:46:04,667
Who did you toss out before?

737
00:46:05,751 --> 00:46:06,792
Marlene.

738
00:46:06,959 --> 00:46:09,751
This is Marlene.
Who did you toss out?

739
00:46:11,334 --> 00:46:12,792
If it's so funny, get out!

740
00:46:13,292 --> 00:46:14,334
Sorry.

741
00:46:15,709 --> 00:46:17,834
A blonde in a beige raincoat?

742
00:46:18,167 --> 00:46:20,917
You said: "That nut will show up!"

743
00:46:21,084 --> 00:46:23,417
A woman shows up.
I figure it's the nut!

744
00:46:23,584 --> 00:46:24,709
Who does he mean?

745
00:46:26,584 --> 00:46:27,751
I'll be back...

746
00:46:30,167 --> 00:46:31,459
What did you say to her?

747
00:46:31,626 --> 00:46:33,376
- To who?
- My wife!

748
00:46:33,626 --> 00:46:34,667
Not a thing.

749
00:46:36,167 --> 00:46:38,751
She comes home,
and you chase her away!

750
00:46:39,584 --> 00:46:41,584
I thought she was the weirdo.

751
00:46:41,751 --> 00:46:45,876
The nympho dumped her dogs
and came to make trouble.

752
00:46:46,084 --> 00:46:47,167
Who does he mean?

753
00:46:49,959 --> 00:46:52,584
Please go home!
I have a serious problem!

754
00:46:53,417 --> 00:46:54,167
Pierre, listen to me.

755
00:46:54,584 --> 00:46:56,251
Marlene, go away!

756
00:46:56,417 --> 00:47:00,501
I cram 3 dogs in my car to come over,
and you throw me out?

757
00:47:01,626 --> 00:47:03,542
Scram, before it gets nasty!

758
00:47:03,709 --> 00:47:05,084
Leave, Marlene!

759
00:47:05,251 --> 00:47:07,334
It's the smart thing to do.

760
00:47:15,709 --> 00:47:17,376
He tossed out my wife!

761
00:47:18,376 --> 00:47:20,167
I'm really sorry.

762
00:47:21,251 --> 00:47:24,334
He drove her straight
into Meneaux's arms!

763
00:47:24,792 --> 00:47:28,834
OK, I goofed. But anybody
would have made that mistake.

764
00:47:29,126 --> 00:47:30,084
Get out!

765
00:47:30,251 --> 00:47:32,292
We need him. Call Cheval!

766
00:47:32,459 --> 00:47:34,209
I can't stand him!

767
00:47:34,376 --> 00:47:38,459
I'm really sorry.
I wanted to help you so badly.

768
00:47:38,626 --> 00:47:40,501
It's half time!
We must call Cheval!

769
00:47:41,126 --> 00:47:45,126
I'll make it up to you!
Tell me to call Cheval!

770
00:47:45,292 --> 00:47:48,292
Think of Christine!
We must save her!

771
00:47:48,459 --> 00:47:50,667
- Tell me to call Cheval!
- Tell him!

772
00:47:55,626 --> 00:47:56,501
Call Cheval.

773
00:47:57,292 --> 00:47:59,209
Thanks, Mr Brochant!

774
00:47:59,376 --> 00:48:03,084
It'll work out, you'll see!

775
00:48:14,542 --> 00:48:16,209
Lucien, it's Francois!

776
00:48:16,792 --> 00:48:19,584
How's the big Paris fan?

777
00:48:20,667 --> 00:48:23,376
I'm no die-hard,
and the game's not over!

778
00:48:23,542 --> 00:48:28,376
<i>Not over? You asshole!
2 goals down and it's not over?</i>

779
00:48:28,626 --> 00:48:33,042
Paris is a team of clowns,
dickheads, fuck-offs!

780
00:48:34,334 --> 00:48:37,292
Yeah? Who got slaughtered last week?

781
00:48:37,459 --> 00:48:40,042
"Up Marseilles' ass,
ream it with class!"

782
00:48:40,209 --> 00:48:41,792
<i>Go fuck yourself!</i>

783
00:48:41,959 --> 00:48:43,626
You, too!

784
00:48:44,917 --> 00:48:47,167
What an asshole!

785
00:48:48,167 --> 00:48:51,459
"Marseilles are turds,
for the birds!"

786
00:48:53,834 --> 00:48:55,167
He's a jerk!

787
00:48:58,084 --> 00:48:59,251
I'll call him back.

788
00:49:00,167 --> 00:49:04,001
- He's in a class by himself.
- It's been like this for hours.

789
00:49:04,167 --> 00:49:07,292
I'm calling him.
We feud, but we love each other.

790
00:49:26,126 --> 00:49:29,126
I'm calling because I need a favor.

791
00:49:29,376 --> 00:49:31,834
- <i>OK, on one condition.</i>
- What?

792
00:49:32,292 --> 00:49:34,001
Shout: "Go Marseilles, go!"

793
00:49:35,459 --> 00:49:38,334
<i>Let me hear you shout:
" Go, Marseilles, go!"</i>

794
00:49:41,709 --> 00:49:43,001
You must!

795
00:49:43,167 --> 00:49:46,042
"Go, Marseilles, go!"

796
00:49:54,792 --> 00:49:57,417
I'm doing this for you, Pierre.

797
00:50:01,167 --> 00:50:02,501
You must need a big favor.

798
00:50:02,667 --> 00:50:04,834
- It's important.
- Go on.

799
00:50:05,001 --> 00:50:08,251
You're on the Pascal Meneaux case,
the ad man?

800
00:50:08,417 --> 00:50:09,292
<i>Affirmative.</i>

801
00:50:09,459 --> 00:50:11,792
He has a love nest in Paris
and I need the address.

802
00:50:12,417 --> 00:50:14,542
You're not his type!

803
00:50:15,959 --> 00:50:16,792
What?

804
00:50:18,292 --> 00:50:21,251
He likes big boobs
and hates hairy legs!

805
00:50:25,876 --> 00:50:27,251
He's a live wire!

806
00:50:30,167 --> 00:50:32,251
It's serious, I need that address.

807
00:50:32,417 --> 00:50:34,376
<i>Why do you need it?</i>

808
00:50:34,542 --> 00:50:37,376
It's for a friend
who thinks his wife is there.

809
00:50:37,792 --> 00:50:41,584
At Meneaux's?
His wife's there? Poor bastard!

810
00:50:43,209 --> 00:50:45,376
- See why I need the address?
- <i>You bet!</i>

811
00:50:45,959 --> 00:50:47,501
I've watched Meneaux!

812
00:50:47,667 --> 00:50:49,709
<i>Any skirt drives him dingo!</i>

813
00:50:49,876 --> 00:50:51,751
Talk about a pig!

814
00:50:54,042 --> 00:50:55,376
That's enough!

815
00:50:56,001 --> 00:50:58,001
Do I know this poor sap?

816
00:50:58,167 --> 00:51:00,417
I doubt it...
Ever had a tax audit?

817
00:51:00,584 --> 00:51:01,626
No.

818
00:51:01,792 --> 00:51:04,292
- No. What's the address?
- <i>I can't tell you now.</i>

819
00:51:04,459 --> 00:51:07,834
- It's at the office. Tomorrow!
- <i>That's too late!</i>

820
00:51:08,001 --> 00:51:10,834
It's urgent, it's a personal favor.

821
00:51:11,001 --> 00:51:13,126
Hop over to the Ministry. Now!

822
00:51:13,501 --> 00:51:15,417
Now? What about the game?

823
00:51:15,709 --> 00:51:17,834
Tape it. We'll watch it together.

824
00:51:18,001 --> 00:51:20,834
I'm taping the ice-skating for my wife!

825
00:51:22,584 --> 00:51:25,542
We'll tape the game!
Go there for me!

826
00:51:25,709 --> 00:51:28,251
<i>You're a pain!
I haven't eaten!</i>

827
00:51:28,417 --> 00:51:30,334
- We'll feed him.
- You're invited here.

828
00:51:30,751 --> 00:51:32,167
I don't know your sap!

829
00:51:32,542 --> 00:51:36,751
He's a great guy.
Hop over to the Ministry for me.

830
00:51:37,334 --> 00:51:38,751
You're a drag!

831
00:51:38,917 --> 00:51:42,209
I said: "Go, Marseilles, go!".
I did!

832
00:51:44,084 --> 00:51:44,959
What's the address?

833
00:51:45,876 --> 00:51:48,084
9 University St, 5th floor, left.

834
00:51:48,709 --> 00:51:50,417
- Be right over.
- See ya.

835
00:51:51,626 --> 00:51:54,959
We've won, Mr Sap!...
I mean, Mr Brochant.

836
00:51:55,126 --> 00:51:57,167
Wasn't easy, but we won!

837
00:51:59,792 --> 00:52:02,751
- You OK?
- Much better. The pills worked.

838
00:52:02,917 --> 00:52:05,334
We've got to tape
the game for that cluck.

839
00:52:05,501 --> 00:52:08,751
Cheval's no cluck,
he's our best inspector.

840
00:52:08,917 --> 00:52:12,667
Let him loose in this apartment,
he'll strip it!

841
00:52:17,459 --> 00:52:20,751
It's dumb to let
a tax inspector into your home!

842
00:52:45,542 --> 00:52:47,917
You said I'm your friend!

843
00:52:48,084 --> 00:52:51,042
- He won't go to work on me!
- Cheval would audit his mother!

844
00:52:51,209 --> 00:52:52,292
Is that a copy?

845
00:52:54,084 --> 00:52:56,459
If you're clean,
if your artworks

846
00:52:56,626 --> 00:52:58,584
were declared,
you'll be fine.

847
00:52:59,417 --> 00:53:00,667
What'll we feed him?

848
00:53:01,709 --> 00:53:03,251
Frozen stuff or eggs.

849
00:53:03,626 --> 00:53:05,251
I'll make him a nice omelet!

850
00:53:09,167 --> 00:53:11,417
- Give me a hand.
- Watch your back.

851
00:53:12,001 --> 00:53:15,334
- Where do we put it?
- It all goes in my room.

852
00:53:16,917 --> 00:53:18,542
Stop laughing!

853
00:53:18,709 --> 00:53:24,042
He drives your wife into adultery
and you into a tax audit! What a feat!

854
00:53:59,959 --> 00:54:02,376
- What's that wine?
- Lafitte Rothschild '78.

855
00:54:02,542 --> 00:54:05,542
- Don't serve him that! He'll spot it!
- It's all I have.

856
00:54:05,709 --> 00:54:07,876
- No table wine?
- Not a drop!

857
00:54:08,042 --> 00:54:11,001
I've worked like a dog
to avoid cheap wines.

858
00:54:11,167 --> 00:54:13,251
I only have great wines!
Or water!

859
00:54:13,417 --> 00:54:16,542
- Does Cheval know about wine?
- You bet he does!

860
00:54:16,709 --> 00:54:19,126
You opened a fine bottle.
He'll like that!

861
00:54:19,292 --> 00:54:20,876
Hear that?
We've got a problem!

862
00:54:21,042 --> 00:54:23,292
I'll solve it.
You wait!

863
00:54:30,834 --> 00:54:32,126
It has aroma.

864
00:54:34,126 --> 00:54:36,417
I'm putting vinegar in my Lafitte.

865
00:54:36,584 --> 00:54:39,167
How to turn great wine into rotgut!

866
00:54:39,334 --> 00:54:41,834
There! Winds delight!

867
00:54:43,126 --> 00:54:45,417
- Taste it!
- You taste it!

868
00:54:45,751 --> 00:54:46,917
No, thanks.

869
00:54:52,751 --> 00:54:55,001
Weird... It has more body.

870
00:55:01,209 --> 00:55:03,292
- Damn!
- Hasn't wrecked it...

871
00:55:05,584 --> 00:55:07,751
- I'd say it was better.
- Definitely.

872
00:55:07,917 --> 00:55:09,084
Let me try.

873
00:55:12,292 --> 00:55:13,959
Right... That's good to know!

874
00:55:19,126 --> 00:55:20,626
That should do it!

875
00:55:24,751 --> 00:55:26,584
- No!
- Yes!

876
00:55:36,751 --> 00:55:38,667
- The john?
- Over there.

877
00:55:40,251 --> 00:55:41,251
Perfect!

878
00:55:47,251 --> 00:55:48,334
Cheval.

879
00:55:48,709 --> 00:55:50,084
<i>5th floor, left.</i>

880
00:55:56,751 --> 00:55:58,292
- You OK?
- Yes.

881
00:55:59,001 --> 00:56:00,876
- Here he is!
- I'll get it.

882
00:56:02,709 --> 00:56:04,542
You're giving him that to drink?

883
00:56:07,251 --> 00:56:10,042
Lucien Cheval...
Pierre Brochant, Just Leblanc.

884
00:56:10,209 --> 00:56:11,667
Mr Cheval, thank you for...

885
00:56:11,834 --> 00:56:13,917
- Don't tell me!
- What?

886
00:56:15,334 --> 00:56:16,834
The soccer score.

887
00:56:17,001 --> 00:56:19,501
OK. But Paris evened the score...

888
00:56:19,667 --> 00:56:22,584
- They did?
- No, I was putting you on!

889
00:56:22,959 --> 00:56:24,709
What an asshole!

890
00:56:25,709 --> 00:56:27,042
He's a royal one, isn't he?

891
00:56:28,959 --> 00:56:32,792
The look on his face
when I said Paris got even!

892
00:56:33,959 --> 00:56:36,292
He's so happy now!
Made his evening!

893
00:56:36,459 --> 00:56:39,001
We're in a hurry.
Got the address?

894
00:56:39,167 --> 00:56:41,959
- He's the man I told you about...
- Yes, the...

895
00:56:42,126 --> 00:56:44,501
- Right...
- The address is in here.

896
00:56:44,667 --> 00:56:45,876
I'm starving.

897
00:56:46,042 --> 00:56:49,667
I'm all set with a fines herbes omelet.
You'll love it!

898
00:56:51,876 --> 00:56:52,876
Am I the only one eating?

899
00:56:53,042 --> 00:56:55,209
We've all eaten...
So where's this love nest?

900
00:56:56,209 --> 00:57:01,334
I audited a Michel Brochant
3 years ago. Are you related?

901
00:57:01,792 --> 00:57:03,417
Could be.
Where does he live?

902
00:57:03,834 --> 00:57:05,751
In prison.
He got 5 years.

903
00:57:06,834 --> 00:57:08,334
Nice guy.

904
00:57:08,501 --> 00:57:13,001
Had a fancy place like yours,
that we auctioned off!

905
00:57:15,334 --> 00:57:16,876
Where's this love nest?

906
00:57:20,042 --> 00:57:23,292
It'll be buried
in all of Meneaux's holdings!

907
00:57:23,459 --> 00:57:25,542
Advertising is lucrative!

908
00:57:27,667 --> 00:57:29,709
What's your racket, Mr Brochant?

909
00:57:30,042 --> 00:57:31,126
Publishing.

910
00:57:32,709 --> 00:57:34,167
Very profitable, too!

911
00:57:35,584 --> 00:57:37,792
Please, the address.

912
00:57:41,417 --> 00:57:44,251
St. James St, that's his home address...

913
00:57:44,834 --> 00:57:48,126
- Where is that love nest?
- Here's your omelet!

914
00:57:50,042 --> 00:57:50,834
Thanks, Francois.

915
00:57:57,542 --> 00:58:00,001
An honest table wine.
A bit coarse,

916
00:58:00,167 --> 00:58:01,709
but I get it for a song.

917
00:58:05,709 --> 00:58:07,209
Let's taste this omelet.

918
00:58:15,834 --> 00:58:17,876
A masterpiece, Francois!

919
00:58:18,042 --> 00:58:20,126
He's so silly... Thanks, Lucien.

920
00:58:21,334 --> 00:58:23,084
Light, unctuous...

921
00:58:23,251 --> 00:58:25,834
My secret's a few drops of beer
in the eggs.

922
00:58:26,001 --> 00:58:28,042
The address, dammit!

923
00:58:29,584 --> 00:58:32,751
Lincoln St, that's his office...

924
00:58:33,251 --> 00:58:34,709
Temple St,

925
00:58:34,876 --> 00:58:36,501
that's not it either...

926
00:58:38,584 --> 00:58:40,042
You been attached?

927
00:58:41,917 --> 00:58:42,876
No, why?

928
00:58:43,376 --> 00:58:46,709
Those light patches.
Paintings have been removed.

929
00:58:47,459 --> 00:58:51,001
He doesn't miss a trick!
You're fabulous, Lucien!

930
00:58:52,917 --> 00:58:54,709
You came to help or audit?

931
00:58:55,126 --> 00:58:57,167
He came to help! Right?

932
00:58:57,334 --> 00:59:00,876
Hurry! Poor Mr Brochant is in a fix!

933
00:59:01,042 --> 00:59:02,792
Poor Mr Brochant...

934
00:59:03,292 --> 00:59:05,792
Meneaux's an operator, sure.

935
00:59:05,959 --> 00:59:09,292
We say: "The rooster's loose,
lock up your hens!"

936
00:59:13,292 --> 00:59:16,876
Here we are: Barris St.
Near the park.

937
00:59:17,084 --> 00:59:18,876
37A Barris St.

938
00:59:19,042 --> 00:59:20,376
- In Neuilly.
- Great!

939
00:59:20,542 --> 00:59:23,084
- I'm off.
- Wait, make sure she's there!

940
00:59:23,251 --> 00:59:25,917
Don't go till you're sure of it.

941
00:59:26,084 --> 00:59:28,376
He won't open the door.
He's wary!

942
00:59:28,542 --> 00:59:31,251
- I'll smash it.
- Easier said than done.

943
00:59:31,417 --> 00:59:33,584
You break in, and she's not there?

944
00:59:33,751 --> 00:59:35,584
- Then what?
- What if we phone?

945
00:59:35,751 --> 00:59:40,167
To ask if my wife's in his bed,
under his quilt?

946
00:59:40,667 --> 00:59:42,626
Under his quilt!

947
00:59:43,959 --> 00:59:44,626
You through?

948
00:59:56,667 --> 00:59:59,626
You had a knickknack there!

949
01:00:00,584 --> 01:00:02,542
I see the dust ring.

950
01:00:02,709 --> 01:00:04,667
I told you, he's a real pro.

951
01:00:04,834 --> 01:00:06,334
Bravo, Lucien!

952
01:00:06,626 --> 01:00:07,959
You'll make me blush.

953
01:00:08,126 --> 01:00:10,542
Don't be modest!
You bust tax dodgers!

954
01:00:11,251 --> 01:00:13,542
We've got the address.
Kick 'em out!

955
01:00:13,709 --> 01:00:15,626
Stop it, please!

956
01:00:16,001 --> 01:00:18,751
I've got an idea. Listen to this.

957
01:00:19,209 --> 01:00:22,167
We scare Meneaux
to make him come clean.

958
01:00:22,334 --> 01:00:23,126
How?

959
01:00:23,292 --> 01:00:26,626
You say you know your wife's there.
You're coming

960
01:00:26,792 --> 01:00:29,584
to wreck his place with 3 tough pals.

961
01:00:29,751 --> 01:00:30,459
Not bad.

962
01:00:30,626 --> 01:00:34,042
If she's there, he'll oust her.
We'll know at once.

963
01:00:34,209 --> 01:00:36,459
A fine strategy!

964
01:00:36,626 --> 01:00:39,584
Who phones?
Not me, he knows my voice!

965
01:00:39,751 --> 01:00:41,209
He knows mine, too.

966
01:00:41,376 --> 01:00:43,251
And mine.
I'm there all day.

967
01:00:49,417 --> 01:00:51,792
I think I'm going to be needed!

968
01:00:52,417 --> 01:00:54,959
- Oh, no!
- Only he can do it!

969
01:00:55,126 --> 01:00:56,834
I really feel up to it!

970
01:00:57,334 --> 01:00:59,001
We'll coach him, he'll do fine.

971
01:00:59,167 --> 01:01:00,334
You wait and see!

972
01:01:00,501 --> 01:01:02,876
If you don't want me, just say so!

973
01:01:03,042 --> 01:01:04,792
Who told us to call him?

974
01:01:05,542 --> 01:01:09,834
It must be someone who'd have
the number of his love nest.

975
01:01:10,376 --> 01:01:13,626
Say, J.P. Roussin, his partner.
They're very close.

976
01:01:13,792 --> 01:01:14,917
Roussin it is.

977
01:01:15,251 --> 01:01:17,084
Why isn't he calling himself?

978
01:01:17,709 --> 01:01:20,459
Why isn't Roussin calling?
It'll seem odd.

979
01:01:20,626 --> 01:01:22,042
He can't, he's on a plane,

980
01:01:22,209 --> 01:01:25,084
headed for L.A.
Meneaux told me that.

981
01:01:25,251 --> 01:01:25,917
It fits!

982
01:01:26,084 --> 01:01:28,751
We're calling for Roussin
who's on a plane.

983
01:01:28,917 --> 01:01:30,001
Perfect!

984
01:01:30,167 --> 01:01:32,959
- Got the strategy?
- It's simple.

985
01:01:34,042 --> 01:01:38,209
He has to rehearse! A lot!
One hell of a lot!

986
01:01:38,376 --> 01:01:41,001
Sit down. Say after me:

987
01:01:42,501 --> 01:01:47,542
"I'm calling for J.P. Roussin. He's
on a plane, but has a message for you."

988
01:01:47,709 --> 01:01:49,084
- OK.
- No, repeat it.

989
01:01:49,251 --> 01:01:51,334
I'm Meneaux, repeat what I said.

990
01:01:51,501 --> 01:01:52,751
I've got it!

991
01:01:53,209 --> 01:01:56,042
Please repeat precisely: "Hello..."

992
01:01:57,084 --> 01:01:59,792
"Hello, I'm calling for J.P. Roussin..."

993
01:01:59,959 --> 01:02:00,542
Good.

994
01:02:00,709 --> 01:02:03,292
"He's on a plane,
and has a message for you."

995
01:02:03,459 --> 01:02:04,334
Perfect!

996
01:02:04,501 --> 01:02:06,876
You add:
"Brochant knows everything."

997
01:02:07,334 --> 01:02:08,834
- OK.
- No, repeat it!

998
01:02:09,001 --> 01:02:10,251
Come on, he's no idiot!

999
01:02:12,917 --> 01:02:14,709
"Brochant knows everything."

1000
01:02:16,709 --> 01:02:19,834
Then you say:
"He knows about his wife."

1001
01:02:20,334 --> 01:02:22,084
If Meneaux asks who's speaking,

1002
01:02:22,542 --> 01:02:27,376
you say:"A friend of Roussin's.
Brochant's coming with 3 pals."

1003
01:02:29,292 --> 01:02:33,501
"He's with 3 of his toughest pals."

1004
01:02:34,167 --> 01:02:35,167
He's talented!

1005
01:02:35,584 --> 01:02:38,626
- I'm just parroting.
- He's excellent!

1006
01:02:38,792 --> 01:02:40,626
Couldn't I improvise a bit?

1007
01:02:40,792 --> 01:02:41,834
No!

1008
01:02:42,042 --> 01:02:44,209
Don't shout! You scared me!

1009
01:02:44,376 --> 01:02:46,667
Just stick to what I told you!

1010
01:02:47,167 --> 01:02:49,209
Let's go, we're wasting time!

1011
01:02:50,292 --> 01:02:51,126
What's the number?

1012
01:02:53,709 --> 01:02:56,584
0147473963.

1013
01:03:01,251 --> 01:03:02,376
We're off!

1014
01:03:02,751 --> 01:03:04,042
I'm scared.

1015
01:03:04,209 --> 01:03:06,959
- The strategy's fine.
- I'm worried about the executor.

1016
01:03:07,792 --> 01:03:09,792
- It's ringing!
- Loudspeaker!

1017
01:03:12,834 --> 01:03:14,417
Have they done it yet?

1018
01:03:19,376 --> 01:03:21,501
- Why doesn't he answer?
- He's too busy!

1019
01:03:28,542 --> 01:03:29,834
- Pascal Meneaux?
- Yes.

1020
01:03:30,334 --> 01:03:32,542
He sounds tired. That's bad.

1021
01:03:34,042 --> 01:03:35,376
A bad sign.

1022
01:03:36,084 --> 01:03:38,126
Sorry to bother you...

1023
01:03:38,626 --> 01:03:42,042
I'm calling on behalf of J.P. Roussin.

1024
01:03:42,251 --> 01:03:42,959
<i>Yes?</i>

1025
01:03:43,126 --> 01:03:46,376
He's on a plane,
but he has a message for you.

1026
01:03:46,542 --> 01:03:47,626
<i>Go ahead.</i>

1027
01:03:47,792 --> 01:03:49,917
- Brochant knows all about it.
- <i>What?</i>

1028
01:03:50,084 --> 01:03:52,292
He's coming to wreck your place!

1029
01:03:52,626 --> 01:03:53,501
Nice going.

1030
01:03:54,126 --> 01:03:55,501
<i>Who is this?</i>

1031
01:03:55,751 --> 01:03:59,917
A friend of Roussin's:
Brochant's coming over, and not alone.

1032
01:04:00,084 --> 01:04:03,459
He's with 3 of his toughest pals.

1033
01:04:03,626 --> 01:04:05,376
<i>He's crazy!
His wife's not here!</i>

1034
01:04:06,501 --> 01:04:07,917
You're not with her?

1035
01:04:08,709 --> 01:04:10,126
<i>She canceled out.</i>

1036
01:04:11,251 --> 01:04:12,292
Roussin said:

1037
01:04:12,459 --> 01:04:14,876
"He's with Mrs. Brochant."

1038
01:04:15,042 --> 01:04:16,084
<i>Not at all.</i>

1039
01:04:16,251 --> 01:04:18,709
I'm with the wife of the tax man
who's auditing me!

1040
01:04:23,167 --> 01:04:24,084
What?

1041
01:04:24,667 --> 01:04:27,376
<i>A jerk who's hounded me for months.</i>

1042
01:04:27,542 --> 01:04:30,126
<i>I'm screwing his wife.
Not Mrs. Brochant!</i>

1043
01:04:35,501 --> 01:04:37,584
May I use your phone?

1044
01:04:37,751 --> 01:04:39,459
Of course.

1045
01:04:43,667 --> 01:04:47,042
She went shopping this afternoon,

1046
01:04:47,251 --> 01:04:52,751
I asked her to take a form
to Meneaux's office. And bingo!

1047
01:04:56,501 --> 01:04:57,376
Good evening, Mr Meneaux.

1048
01:04:59,126 --> 01:05:02,292
Could I speak to Mrs Cheval please...

1049
01:05:02,459 --> 01:05:07,167
You know who I am.
We meet tomorrow at 9AM, as usual.

1050
01:05:07,334 --> 01:05:09,376
We'll review your whole case.

1051
01:05:09,542 --> 01:05:11,626
Now let me speak to my wife.

1052
01:05:14,001 --> 01:05:15,959
Charlotte? Don't try to explain.

1053
01:05:16,126 --> 01:05:19,834
Leave that place at once!

1054
01:05:20,001 --> 01:05:21,959
Yes, put your clothes back on!

1055
01:05:22,126 --> 01:05:23,751
Of course you do!

1056
01:05:26,584 --> 01:05:31,042
I'm not alone, I can't talk now,
we'll talk at home.

1057
01:05:31,876 --> 01:05:35,209
Charlotte! I did tape
the ice-skating for you.

1058
01:05:46,584 --> 01:05:47,626
That wine...

1059
01:05:47,792 --> 01:05:49,501
It is a bit coarse.

1060
01:05:50,542 --> 01:05:53,459
- I'm going to puke! The bathroom!
- Come, Lucien!

1061
01:05:53,917 --> 01:05:55,501
First door on the left!

1062
01:06:07,167 --> 01:06:08,292
I said left.

1063
01:06:12,501 --> 01:06:14,209
Interesting room!

1064
01:06:14,376 --> 01:06:17,834
A storage room, for valueless items.

1065
01:06:20,251 --> 01:06:22,542
- I don't care. It's awful!
- What is?

1066
01:06:22,709 --> 01:06:24,792
He's a tax dodger, and I don't care!

1067
01:06:24,959 --> 01:06:29,417
Get hold of yourself.
Run home and shower. Hang in there.

1068
01:06:30,584 --> 01:06:34,917
- Want the tape of the soccer game?
- I'm in no mood for that.

1069
01:06:36,292 --> 01:06:38,251
- Good-bye, Mr Leblanc.
- Good-bye, Mr Cheval.

1070
01:06:38,417 --> 01:06:41,459
- Good-bye, Mr Brochant.
- Thanks for all your help.

1071
01:06:41,626 --> 01:06:42,917
Don't mention it.

1072
01:06:43,084 --> 01:06:47,584
We'll meet again soon: I'm going
to audit you. All this is suspect.

1073
01:06:52,126 --> 01:06:53,876
He recovered fast!

1074
01:07:11,042 --> 01:07:14,834
- Where can she be?
- I'll go home. If she calls, I'll call.

1075
01:07:15,292 --> 01:07:16,292
Thanks.

1076
01:07:17,251 --> 01:07:18,501
Good-bye, Mr Pignon.

1077
01:07:21,251 --> 01:07:22,417
Is everyone leaving?

1078
01:07:22,584 --> 01:07:24,709
Yes, you can leave too.

1079
01:07:30,917 --> 01:07:32,126
Yes, it's me.

1080
01:07:32,626 --> 01:07:35,959
I'm her husband.
Is something wrong?

1081
01:07:39,084 --> 01:07:41,001
Which hospital?
I'm coming!

1082
01:07:41,792 --> 01:07:44,084
She had a car smash.
She's in West Side.

1083
01:07:44,251 --> 01:07:45,667
- Serious?
- Just concussion,

1084
01:07:45,834 --> 01:07:48,334
but they're keeping her overnight.

1085
01:07:48,501 --> 01:07:51,667
- I could drive you.
- No, thanks.

1086
01:08:12,834 --> 01:08:14,126
<i>Pierre, it's me.</i>

1087
01:08:16,042 --> 01:08:17,542
<i>I know you're there.</i>

1088
01:08:18,376 --> 01:08:20,584
<i>You're not being nice.</i>

1089
01:08:21,209 --> 01:08:25,792
<i>You promised to leave your wife.
Look how you treat me now!</i>

1090
01:08:26,709 --> 01:08:30,959
<i>Answer me!
I need you, I'm not well!</i>

1091
01:08:32,584 --> 01:08:36,876
<i>Pick up the phone!
If you don't, I'll do something silly!</i>

1092
01:08:37,501 --> 01:08:40,084
<i>His wife had an accident.
He's at the hospital.</i>

1093
01:08:41,209 --> 01:08:41,917
An accident?

1094
01:08:42,084 --> 01:08:44,876
<i>- It's not serious, but...</i>
- Serves him right!

1095
01:08:45,751 --> 01:08:47,751
Don't say that, Marlene.

1096
01:08:47,917 --> 01:08:49,626
Serves him right! He's mean!

1097
01:08:49,792 --> 01:08:53,001
His wife's in the hospital,
I'll kill myself.

1098
01:08:54,084 --> 01:08:58,709
Don't kill yourself.
Try to understand, it's been hell...

1099
01:08:58,876 --> 01:09:00,251
He's a bastard!

1100
01:09:01,917 --> 01:09:04,959
Shit, my glass!...
Poor carpet...

1101
01:09:06,792 --> 01:09:09,792
Why did I fall for a bastard?

1102
01:09:10,959 --> 01:09:12,167
Sorry, I have to hang up.

1103
01:09:12,709 --> 01:09:13,751
<i>Don't hang up!</i>

1104
01:09:14,292 --> 01:09:18,292
Talk to me some more,
it's such a help.

1105
01:09:19,126 --> 01:09:19,834
Hang up!

1106
01:09:20,001 --> 01:09:23,001
- She's suicidal.
- Blackmail, hang up!

1107
01:09:23,251 --> 01:09:24,376
Where are my keys?

1108
01:09:24,542 --> 01:09:27,584
Don't do anything silly!
Swear you won't!

1109
01:09:27,751 --> 01:09:29,792
Please be sensible.

1110
01:09:29,959 --> 01:09:33,334
<i>You're nice...
But he's a bastard!</i>

1111
01:09:35,334 --> 01:09:37,584
One hell of a bastard!

1112
01:09:37,751 --> 01:09:39,376
Don't say that.

1113
01:09:39,959 --> 01:09:41,292
<i>He's so mean!</i>

1114
01:09:41,459 --> 01:09:43,709
Even his way of having fun!

1115
01:09:43,876 --> 01:09:45,501
I have to go now...

1116
01:09:45,709 --> 01:09:49,584
If he hadn't hurt his back,
he'd be making fun of a guy.

1117
01:09:50,917 --> 01:09:53,209
How'd he be doing that?

1118
01:09:53,376 --> 01:09:54,584
Hang up!

1119
01:09:54,751 --> 01:09:56,501
<i>Didn't he tell you?</i>

1120
01:09:58,126 --> 01:10:01,334
Every week,
they hold a "dinner for idiots".

1121
01:10:02,417 --> 01:10:06,376
<i>They invite an idiot
and make fun of him all night!</i>

1122
01:10:16,209 --> 01:10:17,292
Let's go!

1123
01:10:20,834 --> 01:10:21,792
Your briefcase.

1124
01:10:22,834 --> 01:10:24,876
Make it snappy.
I'm in a hurry.

1125
01:10:29,751 --> 01:10:32,209
What was tonight's dinner for?

1126
01:10:32,376 --> 01:10:34,584
For friends who admired your work!

1127
01:10:34,751 --> 01:10:37,209
- Let's go!
- Were there other guests?

1128
01:10:37,376 --> 01:10:40,417
Let's talk in the elevator.

1129
01:10:40,667 --> 01:10:41,959
What kind of guests?

1130
01:10:43,751 --> 01:10:45,626
Why these questions?

1131
01:10:46,834 --> 01:10:49,626
How do you pick your guests?

1132
01:10:49,959 --> 01:10:51,959
Get to the point.

1133
01:10:53,751 --> 01:10:57,001
Did you invite me
to a dinner for idiots?

1134
01:11:09,084 --> 01:11:10,876
It's you, darling.
I was just leaving.

1135
01:11:11,042 --> 01:11:12,751
How are you?

1136
01:11:14,626 --> 01:11:16,251
What do you mean?

1137
01:11:17,126 --> 01:11:20,126
I love you,
you can't be there all alone!

1138
01:11:21,834 --> 01:11:25,584
I've learned a lot tonight,
I need you!

1139
01:11:28,501 --> 01:11:30,501
To hell with her!

1140
01:11:31,167 --> 01:11:32,542
She's not my girlfriend!

1141
01:11:32,709 --> 01:11:34,459
That cretin made it up!

1142
01:11:35,959 --> 01:11:39,167
I'm coming.
We'll talk it over, OK?

1143
01:11:48,292 --> 01:11:49,459
The cretin

1144
01:11:49,626 --> 01:11:51,417
is leaving.
But tell me:

1145
01:11:52,876 --> 01:11:56,001
did you invite me
to a dinner for idiots?

1146
01:12:00,459 --> 01:12:02,126
Look, in one evening

1147
01:12:02,292 --> 01:12:07,667
you avenged all the idiots
who attended our dinners for all times.

1148
01:12:08,167 --> 01:12:09,626
Good night, Mr Pignon.

1149
01:12:10,459 --> 01:12:11,376
She's right.

1150
01:12:11,542 --> 01:12:13,917
- You're mean.
- So I'm mean!

1151
01:12:14,084 --> 01:12:17,376
My wife says it,
everyone agrees: I'm mean.

1152
01:12:19,834 --> 01:12:23,709
Put it on my answering machine:
"Brochant is a meanie!"

1153
01:12:26,459 --> 01:12:28,876
Don't mix sedatives and alcohol.

1154
01:12:29,042 --> 01:12:31,376
Why not?
It's the moral of this story:

1155
01:12:32,084 --> 01:12:33,376
Brochant the meanie

1156
01:12:33,542 --> 01:12:35,626
gets drunk alone in his big pad,

1157
01:12:35,792 --> 01:12:40,209
nice Pignon goes home saying:
"The bastard got punished!"

1158
01:12:40,376 --> 01:12:43,542
"Brochant's a meanie,
Pignon's a beanie!"

1159
01:12:50,126 --> 01:12:51,709
Now what?

1160
01:12:51,876 --> 01:12:53,792
Number of the West Side Hospital.

1161
01:12:54,126 --> 01:12:55,292
He's at it again!

1162
01:12:58,501 --> 01:12:59,584
Thanks.

1163
01:13:00,876 --> 01:13:04,084
You won't get her.
It's a city hospital.

1164
01:13:06,584 --> 01:13:07,751
<i>West Side Hospital.</i>

1165
01:13:07,917 --> 01:13:12,167
Mrs Christine Brochant, please.
She was in a car accident.

1166
01:13:12,334 --> 01:13:16,709
<i>No calls for patients after 6 PM.
Call tomorrow.</i>

1167
01:13:17,334 --> 01:13:17,917
There you go!

1168
01:13:18,084 --> 01:13:21,251
I must speak to Mrs Brochant.

1169
01:13:22,626 --> 01:13:24,417
This is Professor Sorbier.

1170
01:13:24,876 --> 01:13:26,584
<i>Sorry, sir, please hold on.</i>

1171
01:13:27,501 --> 01:13:29,709
I'm in a rush, dear, hurry!

1172
01:13:32,959 --> 01:13:35,667
<i>- Mrs Brochant for you, Professor.</i>
- Thanks, dear.

1173
01:13:38,292 --> 01:13:40,834
Stop this farce.
She just hung up on me.

1174
01:13:44,501 --> 01:13:46,501
Prof. Sorbier for you.

1175
01:13:51,501 --> 01:13:52,626
<i>Mrs Brochant?</i>

1176
01:13:53,584 --> 01:13:54,709
Yes, doctor.

1177
01:13:55,751 --> 01:13:58,667
I'm not Professor Sorbier.

1178
01:14:00,167 --> 01:14:01,084
Who is this?

1179
01:14:02,042 --> 01:14:05,084
It's your husband's idiot.

1180
01:14:07,376 --> 01:14:08,251
What?

1181
01:14:09,126 --> 01:14:11,459
We met briefly, my name's Pignon,

1182
01:14:11,626 --> 01:14:14,334
I'm your husband's idiot
for that dinner.

1183
01:14:17,501 --> 01:14:18,626
I'm listening.

1184
01:14:19,834 --> 01:14:24,417
I found out why I was invited.
I'm in a state of shock.

1185
01:14:24,626 --> 01:14:27,001
You were in a crash: so was I!

1186
01:14:29,084 --> 01:14:30,126
<i>Hello?</i>

1187
01:14:31,667 --> 01:14:32,792
Yes, I'm here.

1188
01:14:33,542 --> 01:14:36,626
I'm not calling
because I'm sorry for myself:

1189
01:14:36,792 --> 01:14:38,876
I'm sorry for him.

1190
01:14:39,042 --> 01:14:41,126
He may not be the meanest of men,

1191
01:14:41,292 --> 01:14:43,792
but he's the unhappiest.

1192
01:14:44,667 --> 01:14:47,876
I heard you tell him
not to visit you.

1193
01:14:48,042 --> 01:14:50,792
He was so lost, so miserable,

1194
01:14:51,292 --> 01:14:54,584
that I forgot I was the idiot
and called you.

1195
01:14:55,167 --> 01:14:56,376
Mrs Brochant?

1196
01:14:58,126 --> 01:15:03,126
My wife left me 2 years ago:
that day my life was shattered.

1197
01:15:03,959 --> 01:15:06,876
I survived by making my models,

1198
01:15:07,209 --> 01:15:10,251
but deep down I'm still a wreck.

1199
01:15:10,417 --> 01:15:13,751
I wish that to no one,
not even your husband.

1200
01:15:16,459 --> 01:15:18,084
He's beside you?

1201
01:15:20,084 --> 01:15:20,959
What?

1202
01:15:22,376 --> 01:15:26,209
<i>Feeding you the lines
of this moving drama?</i>

1203
01:15:26,917 --> 01:15:30,917
I swear it was my idea to call you.
He fed me nothing.

1204
01:15:32,751 --> 01:15:34,126
Is he beside you?

1205
01:15:36,084 --> 01:15:38,751
No, I'm in a phone booth.

1206
01:15:42,542 --> 01:15:45,334
He doesn't love me.
He loves no one.

1207
01:15:47,084 --> 01:15:48,542
Mrs Brochant,

1208
01:15:48,709 --> 01:15:52,376
for 2 hours I saw your husband
try to find you.

1209
01:15:52,542 --> 01:15:56,626
He even called Pascal Meneaux,
who was in the arms

1210
01:15:56,792 --> 01:15:58,709
<i>of a woman who wasn't you!</i>

1211
01:15:59,917 --> 01:16:01,709
He phoned Meneaux?

1212
01:16:02,251 --> 01:16:03,084
<i>He did.</i>

1213
01:16:03,251 --> 01:16:06,542
You can't imagine
what he did out of love for you.

1214
01:16:06,709 --> 01:16:10,917
He made up with his best friend,
dumped his girlfriend,

1215
01:16:11,209 --> 01:16:14,292
braved a tax inspector!

1216
01:16:14,834 --> 01:16:19,209
He tidied up his whole life,
in an exemplary way.

1217
01:16:19,459 --> 01:16:24,459
Now he's alone in his big apartment
mixing alcohol and pills.

1218
01:16:25,667 --> 01:16:27,292
I'm worried about him.

1219
01:16:27,959 --> 01:16:31,084
I know one can die of love,
Mrs Brochant.

1220
01:16:34,292 --> 01:16:37,917
I'll think it over.
Thanks for calling.

1221
01:16:39,292 --> 01:16:40,709
Don't mention it.

1222
01:16:42,042 --> 01:16:43,417
Good-bye.

1223
01:16:48,209 --> 01:16:49,542
She'll call back.

1224
01:16:57,709 --> 01:17:01,001
We're attending the next dinner:
you're taking me!

1225
01:17:01,751 --> 01:17:04,501
- I'll win first prize.
- I'm exhausted.

1226
01:17:04,834 --> 01:17:07,167
Being smart is very tiring.

1227
01:17:07,334 --> 01:17:08,584
I'll try it some time.

1228
01:17:08,751 --> 01:17:11,042
Promise me one thing.

1229
01:17:11,209 --> 01:17:12,001
Just ask.

1230
01:17:12,167 --> 01:17:14,834
Think twice
before you call anyone an idiot.

1231
01:17:15,584 --> 01:17:17,917
I promise. I swear it.

1232
01:17:20,084 --> 01:17:21,709
Here he is, Mrs Brochant!

1233
01:17:21,876 --> 01:17:24,292
I thought you were in a phone booth?

1234
01:17:25,584 --> 01:17:27,042
You idiot!

1235
01:17:27,667 --> 01:17:30,042
No, I'm back at his place.

1236
01:17:30,209 --> 01:17:31,834
I can explain!

1237
01:17:32,501 --> 01:17:35,417
- What an idiot!
- I'll call her back!

1238
01:17:35,584 --> 01:17:38,584
- I'll call her back, it'll be fine!
- What an idiot!
