"henceforth sole owner of the property."
22
00:02:08,379 --> 00:02:10,464
- Is all well understood?
- Yes.
23
00:02:10,881 --> 00:02:14,050
I understand.
He is to give me 12,000 FR.
24
00:02:14,468 --> 00:02:17,387
Precisely.
He is to give you 12,000 FR.
25
00:02:17,721 --> 00:02:21,057
And Jofroi will give me his orchard.
So we agree.
26
00:02:21,809 --> 00:02:24,645
Yes.
I give you the Maussan orchard.
27
00:02:25,020 --> 00:02:26,688
The orchard, not the house.
28
00:02:27,147 --> 00:02:28,106
Quiet, Barbe.
29
00:02:29,108 --> 00:02:31,401
- The orchard, not the house.
- Yes.
30
00:02:32,236 --> 00:02:34,279
I sell you the orchard.
31
00:02:34,738 --> 00:02:35,905
Not the house.
32
00:02:36,782 --> 00:02:38,575
Only the Maussan orchard.
33
00:02:39,577 --> 00:02:42,913
Quiet, Barbe!
Stop interfering.
34
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,792
The orchard only.
Do you have that written down?
35
00:02:48,377 --> 00:02:51,088
Yes, here it is, rest assured.
36
00:02:51,255 --> 00:02:53,966
I'm keeping the house myself.
37
00:02:54,133 --> 00:02:57,719
That house is worth a hefty sum.
Right, Barbe?
38
00:02:58,470 --> 00:03:00,054
Tell them it's worth a hefty sum!
39
00:03:00,222 --> 00:03:02,098
Yes, a hefty sum.
40
00:03:03,017 --> 00:03:06,020
We had the roof replaced before the war.
41
00:03:06,186 --> 00:03:07,896
In 1905.
42
00:03:08,564 --> 00:03:11,316
- So I'm keeping that house.
- We agree.
43
00:03:11,483 --> 00:03:13,109
Where is the money?
44
00:03:13,277 --> 00:03:14,194
Right here.
45
00:03:16,030 --> 00:03:17,948
- See.
- Hand it over.
46
00:03:19,283 --> 00:03:21,660
I will.
After you give me the deed.
47
00:03:21,827 --> 00:03:25,247
I ought to give you the deed
without the money?
48
00:03:25,414 --> 00:03:28,166
I ought to give you the money
without the deed?
49
00:03:28,334 --> 00:03:30,627
That's too much!
Mr. President…
50
00:03:30,794 --> 00:03:33,588
A president?
What are you going on about?
51
00:03:33,756 --> 00:03:36,216
Forgive her.
She's losing her marbles.
52
00:03:37,718 --> 00:03:39,594
Now.
Cough it up.
53
00:03:40,429 --> 00:03:42,514
At the shop, what do you do?
54
00:03:43,933 --> 00:03:46,518
First you take the goods,
then you pay.
55
00:03:46,685 --> 00:03:48,687
Enough quibbling.
56
00:03:49,188 --> 00:03:50,063
Fonse.
57
00:03:50,564 --> 00:03:53,233
You surrender the money to me.
58
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,527
And I will give the deed to you.
59
00:03:56,528 --> 00:03:57,529
That's better.
60
00:03:59,073 --> 00:04:01,867
It's not that I don't trust you, Jofroi.
61
00:04:03,077 --> 00:04:05,996
Yet you balk at giving me the money.
62
00:04:07,122 --> 00:04:08,164
I get it.
63
00:04:08,332 --> 00:04:11,168
Mr. President
will give you the money, Jofroi.
64
00:04:11,502 --> 00:04:14,087
Please, Barbe!
Enough of your nonsense.
65
00:04:14,254 --> 00:04:16,965
Stop bringing ridicule upon yourself!
66
00:04:17,341 --> 00:04:18,467
Here, Jofroi.
67
00:04:20,719 --> 00:04:21,803
Please sign.
68
00:04:23,514 --> 00:04:24,389
Right here.
69
00:04:25,766 --> 00:04:27,142
Are you certain
70
00:04:28,143 --> 00:04:30,979
that the deed doesn't sell him
the house?
71
00:04:31,605 --> 00:04:33,565
Quite certain, rest assured.
72
00:04:33,732 --> 00:04:35,150
Then I'll sign.
73
00:04:35,317 --> 00:04:37,569
Does Mrs. Jofroi know how to sign?
74
00:04:37,987 --> 00:04:41,073
A little bit, Mr. President.
Just a bit.
75
00:04:41,740 --> 00:04:44,534
Not much, surely.
Moderately.
76
00:04:44,910 --> 00:04:47,203
- Can she sign?
- Naturally.
77
00:04:47,371 --> 00:04:48,747
Why do you ask?
78
00:04:49,206 --> 00:04:51,917
Because she has to sign.
It's the law.
79
00:04:52,251 --> 00:04:54,544
And what kind of law is that?
80
00:04:54,712 --> 00:04:57,506
Why should my wife
sign off on my orchard?
81
00:04:57,673 --> 00:05:01,259
I want things done the orderly way.
Make her sign.
82
00:05:01,427 --> 00:05:04,012
Then I'll sign on her behalf.
83
00:05:04,179 --> 00:05:05,597
It's the law!
84
00:05:05,764 --> 00:05:08,933
The law doesn't govern my marriage!
I do.
85
00:05:09,101 --> 00:05:11,061
We all know that, Jofroi.
86
00:05:11,478 --> 00:05:15,023
Even so, you seldom refuse me anything.
87
00:05:15,441 --> 00:05:17,276
Not true!
I always refuse.
88
00:05:17,735 --> 00:05:18,610
Anyway…
89
00:05:19,153 --> 00:05:20,445
Why would you sign?
90
00:05:20,779 --> 00:05:23,072
To have them think you're the boss?
91
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,618
No, Jofroi.
But I'd be so happy if you let me.
92
00:05:27,286 --> 00:05:28,161
But why?
93
00:05:28,746 --> 00:05:33,333
For the honour of putting my name
next to yours on such lofty matters.
94
00:05:34,710 --> 00:05:35,585
I reckon…
95
00:05:36,128 --> 00:05:37,003
That's true.
96
00:05:38,172 --> 00:05:39,840
I've only ever signed once.
97
00:05:40,507 --> 00:05:43,384
Once, I signed my name next to yours.
98
00:05:44,636 --> 00:05:45,511
Where?
99
00:05:46,055 --> 00:05:47,806
On our wedding day, Jofroi.
100
00:05:57,274 --> 00:05:58,149
Sign, Barbe.
101
00:06:02,321 --> 00:06:03,196
Go on.
102
00:06:04,114 --> 00:06:06,157
No, you sign first.
103
00:06:34,853 --> 00:06:35,603
Marie!
104
00:06:36,355 --> 00:06:37,564
My pickax!
105
00:06:37,898 --> 00:06:39,524
It's in the cart.
106
00:07:01,046 --> 00:07:02,881
Off we go, old fellow.
107
00:07:40,502 --> 00:07:41,503
Hey, Fonse!
108
00:07:44,798 --> 00:07:45,840
Who's there?
109
00:07:46,008 --> 00:07:49,136
- It's me, Tonin.
- I hadn't seen you there.
110
00:07:49,469 --> 00:07:50,511
What are you doing?
111
00:07:50,679 --> 00:07:53,807
You see, taking it easy.
Where are you going?
112
00:07:53,974 --> 00:07:55,392
To the Maussan orchard.
113
00:07:56,435 --> 00:07:59,187
- I bought it from Jofroi.
- Yes, I know.
114
00:07:59,354 --> 00:08:01,898
The baker told me.
A fine piece of land.
115
00:08:02,733 --> 00:08:04,025
But it's hard work!
116
00:08:04,193 --> 00:08:07,446
Must be ten years since Jofroi
laid hand on a pickax.
117
00:08:07,905 --> 00:08:10,282
Ten years?
More like twenty.
118
00:08:10,449 --> 00:08:12,325
Since he started having pains.
119
00:08:13,202 --> 00:08:15,495
I'd like to see you clear that land.
120
00:08:16,455 --> 00:08:18,081
Those old fruit trees.
121
00:08:18,248 --> 00:08:20,750
- It's a harrowing job.
- I'm all set.
122
00:08:21,126 --> 00:08:23,711
I've got me a shining new pickax.
123
00:08:24,379 --> 00:08:25,463
See for yourself.
124
00:08:27,299 --> 00:08:28,216
Look at that.
125
00:08:55,535 --> 00:08:57,161
What's this cart out there?
126
00:09:03,293 --> 00:09:05,169
- It's Fonse.
- Fonse?
127
00:09:05,796 --> 00:09:07,589
He's going to the orchard.
128
00:09:08,799 --> 00:09:09,674
So soon?
129
00:09:10,217 --> 00:09:12,177
He has tied his mule to a tree.
130
00:09:13,637 --> 00:09:14,596
He has tools.
131
00:09:21,311 --> 00:09:23,062
Just let me go have a look.
132
00:09:24,815 --> 00:09:26,817
He needs telling a thing or two.
133
00:09:28,235 --> 00:09:29,319
Fetch me my hat.
134
00:10:16,325 --> 00:10:17,242
Hello, Jofroi.
135
00:10:21,330 --> 00:10:23,540
- What are you doing here?
- You see.
136
00:10:23,707 --> 00:10:24,833
Removing the trees.
137
00:10:26,376 --> 00:10:28,419
You mean, all of them?
138
00:10:28,587 --> 00:10:30,880
That's right.
To plant wheat instead.
139
00:10:31,798 --> 00:10:34,550
Wheat, Jofroi!
Handsome red wheat.
140
00:10:35,302 --> 00:10:37,929
- Red lammas wheat!
- Yeah…
141
00:10:38,096 --> 00:10:40,556
- Red lammas wheat!
- Yes.
142
00:12:06,017 --> 00:12:07,852
This one won't give in.
143
00:12:14,985 --> 00:12:17,028
Going thrush hunting, Jofroi?
144
00:12:17,195 --> 00:12:19,530
No!
Bastard hunting!
145
00:12:19,698 --> 00:12:23,618
Leave that tree alone,
you murderous coward!
146
00:12:23,785 --> 00:12:24,869
What's got into you?
147
00:12:25,036 --> 00:12:27,288
I reckon that if you kill that tree,
148
00:12:27,456 --> 00:12:29,666
I'll shoot you up like a pigeon!
149
00:12:30,083 --> 00:12:31,084
Are you mad?
150
00:12:31,251 --> 00:12:34,212
I may be mad,
but you're a dead man!
151
00:12:42,429 --> 00:12:43,680
You tree-killer!
152
00:12:43,847 --> 00:12:46,182
You have the nerve to hide
behind one.
153
00:12:46,349 --> 00:12:49,518
Listen to me!
Let me talk to you, Jofroi.
154
00:12:49,686 --> 00:12:52,230
Then talk.
But out in the open.
155
00:12:52,689 --> 00:12:55,692
I'll come out
if you point that gun away.
156
00:12:56,026 --> 00:12:57,902
It could misfire, Jofroi!
157
00:12:58,278 --> 00:13:00,113
Go on then, talk.
158
00:13:00,947 --> 00:13:03,240
- Why can't I remove them?
- And you?
159
00:13:03,408 --> 00:13:05,535
Why do you want them removed?
160
00:13:05,702 --> 00:13:07,995
- Listen, Jofroi!
- I don't want to.
161
00:13:08,163 --> 00:13:11,499
Now look at me, Fonse!
You see this old shotgun?
162
00:13:11,666 --> 00:13:13,125
I'll cut a hole in you,
163
00:13:13,293 --> 00:13:15,878
so big the sunlight will shine through!
164
00:13:16,046 --> 00:13:18,173
- Now scram! Beat it!
- Jofroi.
165
00:13:18,340 --> 00:13:20,216
I'll count to three.
One…
166
00:13:20,926 --> 00:13:22,218
- Two…
- Jofroi!
167
00:13:22,385 --> 00:13:23,427
Jofroi!
168
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,266
So we agree!
169
00:13:30,685 --> 00:13:33,604
Don't ever set foot here again,
you murderer!
170
00:13:33,772 --> 00:13:34,939
Jofroi!
171
00:13:35,732 --> 00:13:37,692
At least send back the mule!
172
00:13:45,492 --> 00:13:46,868
Let's see, my friends.
173
00:13:47,035 --> 00:13:49,871
There is a reasonable solution,
after all.
174
00:13:51,206 --> 00:13:53,583
Jofroi restores the money.
175
00:13:54,334 --> 00:13:56,002
And Fonse, the orchard.
176
00:13:56,962 --> 00:13:58,338
It's the only way.
177
00:13:59,548 --> 00:14:01,299
What do you say, Fonse?
178
00:14:01,967 --> 00:14:04,970
It's not to my liking.
I wanted that orchard.
179
00:14:05,971 --> 00:14:08,181
I saved up dime after dime to buy it.
180
00:14:09,057 --> 00:14:11,225
I drew up new blueprints for it.
181
00:14:11,977 --> 00:14:13,269
But if I must.
182
00:14:14,229 --> 00:14:17,357
But Jofroi has to pay back the 1,200 FR
183
00:14:17,524 --> 00:14:18,983
paid in closing costs.
184
00:14:19,150 --> 00:14:21,735
Certainly.
He has to cover those costs.
185
00:14:22,153 --> 00:14:23,988
Jofroi, speak your mind.
186
00:14:25,407 --> 00:14:27,784
Well, I'd readily give the money back.
187
00:14:28,368 --> 00:14:29,535
But it's gone.
188
00:14:30,453 --> 00:14:32,204
I invested it in annuities.
189
00:14:33,164 --> 00:14:36,208
- So that I don't have it.
- Well?
190
00:14:36,543 --> 00:14:39,712
Well, I don't want you to kill my trees!
191
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:43,173
Lay a hand on any one of them
and I'll shoot you. There!
192
00:14:43,341 --> 00:14:45,217
Come now, Jofroi.
193
00:14:45,385 --> 00:14:47,220
Quiet down.
Don't be mean.
194
00:14:47,387 --> 00:14:50,681
It's my nature, father.
I do what I say.
195
00:14:51,182 --> 00:14:52,057
Jofroi…
196
00:14:52,642 --> 00:14:56,354
You shouldn't persist in your refusal
to understand.
197
00:14:56,521 --> 00:14:58,856
You know Fonse is within his rights.
198
00:14:59,024 --> 00:15:02,944
- Listen to the professor.
- I don't care about the professor!
199
00:15:03,111 --> 00:15:05,655
He can read books, no doubt,
200
00:15:05,822 --> 00:15:08,449
but what does he know about our matter?
201
00:15:08,617 --> 00:15:11,745
You don't learn these things in school.
202
00:15:12,454 --> 00:15:13,455
I've said it.
203
00:15:13,622 --> 00:15:14,706
Dear Jofroi,
204
00:15:15,498 --> 00:15:17,958
bear in mind that I shared my opinion
205
00:15:18,335 --> 00:15:19,586
purely upon request.
206
00:15:20,295 --> 00:15:22,964
But I share it with Fonse,
not with you.
207
00:15:23,798 --> 00:15:26,509
You are fully and wholly
within your rights.
208
00:15:26,676 --> 00:15:29,303
If he won't abide
by the voice of reason,
209
00:15:29,471 --> 00:15:31,264
you can appeal to the police.
210
00:15:31,765 --> 00:15:34,517
The police!
Oh, my!
211
00:15:34,684 --> 00:15:37,478
Why, don't even mention the police!
212
00:15:37,646 --> 00:15:41,149
Don't put it in my mind.
If I were to appeal to them…
213
00:15:41,316 --> 00:15:42,608
What about it?
214
00:15:42,776 --> 00:15:46,321
If I went to them and reported
the matter as it stands:
215
00:15:46,488 --> 00:15:49,449
that you want to tear down my trees…
216
00:15:50,241 --> 00:15:52,534
They'll put you behind bars.
Period!
217
00:15:53,036 --> 00:15:56,706
That's right. But I won't do it,
to spare your family.
218
00:15:56,873 --> 00:15:59,667
- You'd put me behind bars?
- You heard me!
219
00:15:59,834 --> 00:16:00,835
On what account?
220
00:16:01,294 --> 00:16:04,463
You don't go around uprooting
another man's trees!
221
00:16:04,631 --> 00:16:08,051
Those trees aren't yours anymore.
They're mine.
222
00:16:08,218 --> 00:16:11,012
The trees are yours?
Father, please.
223
00:16:11,179 --> 00:16:14,891
His trees, he says!
I planted those trees.
224
00:16:15,266 --> 00:16:17,893
Why Fonse, you are out of your mind!
225
00:16:18,269 --> 00:16:20,646
Where did you get that idea?
226
00:16:20,814 --> 00:16:21,898
Listen, Jofroi.
227
00:16:22,649 --> 00:16:24,901
What did we do the day before last,
228
00:16:25,068 --> 00:16:27,111
at the notary's office in Aubagne?
229
00:16:28,321 --> 00:16:31,449
I reckoned you'd remember that.
230
00:16:32,033 --> 00:16:34,827
For signing
four miserable pieces of paper
231
00:16:34,994 --> 00:16:37,079
from a rat-faced notary,
232
00:16:37,539 --> 00:16:40,833
Mr. Fonse might have the right
to storm up
233
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,460
with pickaxes, shovels, and hoists,
234
00:16:43,628 --> 00:16:45,546
to tear my orchard apart?
235
00:16:46,464 --> 00:16:48,883
He purchased it.
He paid.
236
00:16:49,300 --> 00:16:50,426
It's his right.
237
00:16:50,844 --> 00:16:52,554
His right?
And my trees?
238
00:16:52,721 --> 00:16:56,141
I bought those trees
at the Roquevaire fair.
239
00:16:56,307 --> 00:16:59,476
In 1899.
That same year, Barbe told me:
240
00:16:59,644 --> 00:17:03,105
"Jofroi. We may well yet
be getting a little one."
241
00:17:03,273 --> 00:17:06,734
Before the fire in Pichauris
caused her to miscarry.
242
00:17:06,901 --> 00:17:10,863
I carried the trees on my back
all the way from Roquevaire.
243
00:17:11,030 --> 00:17:13,365
I worked by hand.
I dug the holes,
244
00:17:13,533 --> 00:17:15,076
I carted the manure.
245
00:17:15,243 --> 00:17:18,704
I got up at night to keep the frost
off the wet straw.
246
00:17:18,872 --> 00:17:21,666
Dozens of times I treated them
with nicotine.
247
00:17:23,376 --> 00:17:25,378
Each can cost 25 FR apiece.
248
00:17:26,296 --> 00:17:27,672
What's more, father,
249
00:17:28,298 --> 00:17:29,507
when I pruned them,
250
00:17:30,175 --> 00:17:32,051
before cutting a branch,
251
00:17:32,218 --> 00:17:34,678
I'd spend an hour doing the math.
252
00:17:34,846 --> 00:17:37,849
Contemplating how sad it was,
253
00:17:38,016 --> 00:17:41,769
to cut a tree's branch
to squeeze 6 FR out of it.
254
00:17:42,479 --> 00:17:44,898
In the end,
when I came around to it,
255
00:17:45,064 --> 00:17:46,899
it was like cutting off a limb.
256
00:17:47,525 --> 00:17:51,278
You reckon you've bought that all
with your money?
257
00:17:51,446 --> 00:17:53,698
Can money buy everything?
258
00:17:53,865 --> 00:17:57,410
Tell us, father.
Can money buy everything?
259
00:17:57,994 --> 00:18:01,080
No, Jofroi.
There are things money can't buy.
260
00:18:01,664 --> 00:18:02,831
That much is true.
261
00:18:04,042 --> 00:18:06,377
But money can surely buy trees.
262
00:18:06,961 --> 00:18:10,255
Especially 40-year-old trees like yours!
263
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,508
You've had your time.
264
00:18:12,675 --> 00:18:15,344
I know that, father.
265
00:18:15,845 --> 00:18:18,722
And yet, when you and I die,
266
00:18:19,057 --> 00:18:21,851
it is not the end.
But as for trees…
267
00:18:22,018 --> 00:18:24,145
There is no tree-heaven.
268
00:18:24,312 --> 00:18:27,023
When they die, they are only lumber.
269
00:18:27,190 --> 00:18:30,067
So don't press mine along!
270
00:18:30,235 --> 00:18:32,362
Don't hunt them down with an axe.
271
00:18:32,529 --> 00:18:34,822
Let them die a natural death.
272
00:18:34,989 --> 00:18:38,325
A peach's natural death
is to be cut down after ten years.
273
00:18:39,077 --> 00:18:42,455
- So what?
- Your trees have had 30 more years!
274
00:18:42,622 --> 00:18:45,207
- They're old as Methuselah.
- Methuselah?
275
00:18:45,375 --> 00:18:48,961
Precisely! They're old,
and they shouldn't be harmed.
276
00:18:49,128 --> 00:18:51,713
I don't want to harm them.
No one does!
277
00:18:51,881 --> 00:18:55,092
No one wants to harm them,
but you all want them gone.
278
00:18:55,260 --> 00:18:58,388
And for what reason?
Let me tell you, father.
279
00:18:58,555 --> 00:19:01,307
- Because they're fruitless.
- Naturally.
280
00:19:01,474 --> 00:19:04,518
It's not to upset you.
It's because they're barren.
281
00:19:04,686 --> 00:19:08,523
If you like fruit so much,
go to the grocer's!
282
00:19:08,982 --> 00:19:12,735
Nonsense. Those trees haven't
carried fruit for twenty years.
283
00:19:13,111 --> 00:19:15,905
Twenty years, and so what?
What's it to me?
284
00:19:16,072 --> 00:19:16,947
Take me.
285
00:19:17,699 --> 00:19:19,784
I can no longer have children.
286
00:19:20,451 --> 00:19:23,620
You'd make me walk the plank!
And the priest,
287
00:19:23,788 --> 00:19:25,581
you'd swing your axe at him?
288
00:19:26,624 --> 00:19:28,500
It's nonsense, all of it!
289
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,545
- He's crazy.
- Why am I crazy?
290
00:19:31,921 --> 00:19:34,590
Because trees aren't human beings!
291
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,760
A tree isn't a human being!
292
00:19:38,553 --> 00:19:39,387
Says who?
293
00:19:40,221 --> 00:19:42,598
Is that what you teach in your school?
294
00:19:43,516 --> 00:19:45,476
Come now, professor,
295
00:19:45,643 --> 00:19:48,520
with your city airs, your collar,
and cuffs!
296
00:19:48,688 --> 00:19:51,857
It's obvious the trees
have never talked to you.
297
00:19:52,025 --> 00:19:55,278
Maybe because
you're not interesting enough.
298
00:19:55,445 --> 00:19:56,737
Listen here, father.
299
00:19:57,113 --> 00:20:01,158
These trees, it is true,
no longer bear fruit.
300
00:20:01,326 --> 00:20:04,245
It is true, they are very old.
301
00:20:04,412 --> 00:20:06,497
It is true, the apricot tree
302
00:20:06,664 --> 00:20:09,750
is losing his marble
and his branches grow askew.
303
00:20:10,335 --> 00:20:11,794
Be that as it may!
304
00:20:11,961 --> 00:20:14,463
These trees are still healthy.
305
00:20:14,631 --> 00:20:16,174
Left in peace,
306
00:20:16,341 --> 00:20:18,801
they could live 15 more years!
307
00:20:19,761 --> 00:20:22,263
- Hope at last!
- Why do you say that?
308
00:20:22,889 --> 00:20:24,724
How will I eat in the meantime?
309
00:20:26,392 --> 00:20:29,520
You took all my money.
If the orchard doesn't yield,
310
00:20:29,687 --> 00:20:32,648
- you'll have to feed me.
- Don't count on it.
311
00:20:32,815 --> 00:20:35,651
- It won't be me.
- And what will become of me?
312
00:20:35,818 --> 00:20:38,111
You? It's always about you.
313
00:20:38,279 --> 00:20:39,738
I don't care about you!
314
00:20:40,990 --> 00:20:42,324
But I know one thing.
315
00:20:43,034 --> 00:20:46,120
You'll be dead
before you lay a hand on my trees.
316
00:20:47,705 --> 00:20:48,580
He's insane.
317
00:20:48,748 --> 00:20:49,999
Lock him up.
318
00:20:50,583 --> 00:20:54,211
He wasn't born that way.
The trees bring him sorrow.
319
00:20:54,379 --> 00:20:56,255
It's understandable too.
320
00:20:56,589 --> 00:20:59,675
Maybe to you.
I can't say that I do.
321
00:21:00,343 --> 00:21:01,218
Jofroi!
322
00:21:01,386 --> 00:21:04,514
Jofroi, come back here.
Listen.
323
00:21:05,932 --> 00:21:07,433
Fonse, come nearer.
324
00:21:10,186 --> 00:21:14,148
I've thought of a solution
that is honourable for you both.
325
00:21:15,149 --> 00:21:16,275
Listen to me.
326
00:21:16,693 --> 00:21:20,321
Fonse needs to yield some profit
from the orchard.
327
00:21:20,905 --> 00:21:22,156
It's understandable.
328
00:21:22,699 --> 00:21:24,367
As for you, Jofroi.
329
00:21:24,951 --> 00:21:28,371
You'll be coming into payments
from Fonse's 12,000 FR.
330
00:21:28,538 --> 00:21:29,413
Yes.
331
00:21:29,747 --> 00:21:32,082
I have 970 FR a year.
332
00:21:33,167 --> 00:21:36,003
Then you surrender that income
to Fonse.
333
00:21:37,630 --> 00:21:39,381
With that money,
334
00:21:39,799 --> 00:21:42,718
Fonse can lease and cultivate
a piece of land.
335
00:21:43,094 --> 00:21:44,762
And for as long as you live,
336
00:21:45,304 --> 00:21:47,764
no one will touch your trees.
337
00:21:48,182 --> 00:21:49,766
What do you say, Fonse?
338
00:21:50,101 --> 00:21:53,521
I just want to solve the matter
without the police,
339
00:21:53,855 --> 00:21:55,606
and without any shots fired!
340
00:21:56,607 --> 00:21:58,191
What about you, Jofroi?
341
00:21:58,359 --> 00:21:59,693
I don't get it.
342
00:22:01,863 --> 00:22:04,323
You turn the money over to Fonse.
343
00:22:04,490 --> 00:22:07,659
Fonse will let you
full enjoyment of your orchard.
344
00:22:08,578 --> 00:22:11,163
In other words,
he remains the owner.
345
00:22:11,956 --> 00:22:12,915
- Right?
- Yes.
346
00:22:13,082 --> 00:22:15,375
While you become his tenant.
347
00:22:16,586 --> 00:22:20,256
So that you can enjoy the orchard
for as long as you live.
348
00:22:20,798 --> 00:22:23,425
Right. For as long as I live.
I see.
349
00:22:24,218 --> 00:22:26,386
- And after that?
- After what?
350
00:22:27,346 --> 00:22:28,555
After I die.
351
00:22:29,140 --> 00:22:30,224
What about it?
352
00:22:30,391 --> 00:22:31,975
Will your remove them then?
353
00:22:32,143 --> 00:22:33,227
Here we go again!
354
00:22:33,394 --> 00:22:36,688
- Will you uproot them?
- Of course I will!
355
00:22:36,856 --> 00:22:38,607
Yes, I'll uproot them.
356
00:22:38,775 --> 00:22:41,611
Those ghosts of trees!
Cardboard trees!
357
00:22:41,986 --> 00:22:45,155
You'll drive me crazy, you raving fool!
358
00:22:45,323 --> 00:22:48,534
They're not even trees.
Just sticks planted upright.
359
00:22:48,910 --> 00:22:52,288
Their trunks smell of building timber.
360
00:22:52,663 --> 00:22:54,039
I'll tear them out!
361
00:22:56,751 --> 00:23:00,045
Fonse, don't get yourself worked up.
Take it easy.
362
00:23:00,213 --> 00:23:04,091
Be reasonable, Fonse.
You'll remove them at your leisure.
363
00:23:05,051 --> 00:23:06,218
At his leisure!
364
00:23:06,844 --> 00:23:08,720
Well… very well.
365
00:23:09,305 --> 00:23:10,180
I see.
366
00:23:10,723 --> 00:23:13,308
You'll murder my poor trees.
367
00:23:14,393 --> 00:23:16,812
I'll never reconcile myself to it.
368
00:23:18,648 --> 00:23:21,317
But I know a way to get back
at all of you.
369
00:23:22,068 --> 00:23:23,152
Take my own life.
370
00:23:24,112 --> 00:23:25,488
What did you say?
371
00:23:25,655 --> 00:23:27,865
That's right.
I'll commit suicide.
372
00:23:28,574 --> 00:23:30,325
That ought to teach you.
373
00:23:30,493 --> 00:23:31,994
Teach us what?
374
00:23:32,161 --> 00:23:33,036
Fonse…
375
00:23:33,621 --> 00:23:36,498
My death will bear
on the rest of your life!
376
00:23:36,666 --> 00:23:40,628
Knowing you have killed
Jofroi de Maussan.
377
00:23:41,129 --> 00:23:42,797
I'll kill myself this minute.
378
00:23:43,965 --> 00:23:46,968
- What new madness is this?
- Let him be!
379
00:23:47,343 --> 00:23:50,054
Jofroi! Please, come back here.
380
00:23:50,471 --> 00:23:52,014
You very well know
381
00:23:52,181 --> 00:23:54,016
that suicides go to hell.
382
00:23:54,559 --> 00:23:58,354
If I end up in hell, father,
I don't care.
383
00:23:59,188 --> 00:24:01,023
The Lord will forgive me.
384
00:24:01,524 --> 00:24:03,526
He sees everything.
385
00:24:03,693 --> 00:24:05,986
He's looking down on you
as we speak.
386
00:24:06,154 --> 00:24:09,365
Thinking: "There's a handsome bunch
of bastards."
387
00:24:09,532 --> 00:24:11,325
Farewell.
I have a life to take.
388
00:24:12,285 --> 00:24:13,953
What a cuckoo!
389
00:24:15,788 --> 00:24:18,582
A typical case of senile lunacy.
390
00:24:19,333 --> 00:24:22,252
- You believe he'd do it?
- Surely not!
391
00:24:22,420 --> 00:24:24,004
It's merely blackmail.
392
00:24:24,338 --> 00:24:26,298
You never know with these lunatics.
393
00:24:26,632 --> 00:24:30,510
He could put the barrel of his gun
to his mouth like a teat!
394
00:24:30,678 --> 00:24:32,346
Crack! Good-bye, Jofroi.
395
00:24:32,513 --> 00:24:33,472
You believe him?
396
00:24:33,639 --> 00:24:36,433
To be sure, no.
But it's not impossible.
397
00:24:36,851 --> 00:24:38,519
What will be said of me?
398
00:24:38,686 --> 00:24:40,354
That you killed him.
399
00:24:40,521 --> 00:24:43,023
It wouldn't be true.
But it'd be said.
400
00:24:44,150 --> 00:24:45,693
No, Fonse.
401
00:24:46,611 --> 00:24:48,154
Don't fret over it.
402
00:24:49,071 --> 00:24:52,699
Despite Jofroi's blasphemous words,
403
00:24:52,867 --> 00:24:55,786
I trust in his Christian sentiment.
404
00:24:56,787 --> 00:24:58,997
Nevertheless, a piece of advice:
405
00:24:59,540 --> 00:25:03,335
don't rush back to the orchard.
Let a week go by.
406
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:04,962
In the meantime,
407
00:25:05,463 --> 00:25:07,840
he'll come around.
He'll think it over.
408
00:25:08,299 --> 00:25:09,633
He might even forget.
409
00:25:10,218 --> 00:25:11,677
I have an idea.
410
00:25:12,220 --> 00:25:14,764
I will visit Barbe, his saintly wife.
411
00:25:15,306 --> 00:25:16,515
I'll expose the facts.
412
00:25:17,391 --> 00:25:19,893
She will bring him to his senses.
413
00:25:23,522 --> 00:25:24,689
What's that noise?
414
00:25:25,524 --> 00:25:28,652
It's just the cloth merchant
peddling his rags.
415
00:25:29,362 --> 00:25:31,405
Now, as for Jofroi…
416
00:25:31,572 --> 00:25:33,865
Father, come quick!
417
00:25:34,033 --> 00:25:37,494
My man is on top of the church
fixing to kill himself.
418
00:25:53,803 --> 00:25:55,137
Jofroi, don't jump!
419
00:25:56,514 --> 00:26:00,017
Jofroi!
Jofroi, don't jump!
420
00:26:00,184 --> 00:26:01,476
Stand aside!
421
00:26:01,644 --> 00:26:04,146
Jofroi, I beg you not to jump!
422
00:26:04,313 --> 00:26:08,025
Don't stand so close to the ledge.
You'll get dizzy and fall.
423
00:26:08,192 --> 00:26:10,360
Mary mother of God!
Father!
424
00:26:10,528 --> 00:26:12,238
Save him, please!
425
00:26:12,405 --> 00:26:14,323
And what kind of men are you?
426
00:26:14,490 --> 00:26:16,283
He barred all the doors.
427
00:26:16,450 --> 00:26:18,410
Don't jump, Jofroi!
428
00:26:18,577 --> 00:26:20,036
Don't do it, Jofroi!
429
00:26:20,204 --> 00:26:21,580
Why do you want to jump?
430
00:26:21,747 --> 00:26:24,249
Because Fonse wants to kill my trees!
431
00:26:24,417 --> 00:26:26,585
Then it's out of pettiness!
432
00:26:27,003 --> 00:26:30,047
Get down!
Listen, you're making me hoarse.
433
00:26:30,214 --> 00:26:34,384
Jofroi, do not jump!
Think about the salvation of your soul!
434
00:26:34,552 --> 00:26:35,261
I am.
435
00:26:35,428 --> 00:26:36,470
Then don't jump!
436
00:26:36,637 --> 00:26:39,473
As for me,
nothing would please me more.
437
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,851
But someone is pushing me
over the ledge.
438
00:26:43,019 --> 00:26:45,563
That person is Fonse!
439
00:26:45,730 --> 00:26:47,231
I'm not pushing you!
440
00:26:47,398 --> 00:26:49,983
Or anyone else.
I'm standing right here.
441
00:26:50,693 --> 00:26:51,860
Jofroi, don't jump.
442
00:26:53,821 --> 00:26:54,905
A mattress!
443
00:26:55,072 --> 00:26:57,449
Get that mattress out of here!
444
00:26:57,616 --> 00:26:59,159
Stand aside.
445
00:26:59,660 --> 00:27:00,577
Do not jump!
446
00:27:00,745 --> 00:27:03,038
Remember the Lord looking down on you
447
00:27:03,205 --> 00:27:04,915
and the cauldrons of hell!
448
00:27:05,082 --> 00:27:07,125
Satan never ripped out any trees.
449
00:27:07,293 --> 00:27:09,545
I appeal to your good sense
and reason!
450
00:27:09,712 --> 00:27:11,380
Reason commands me to jump
451
00:27:11,547 --> 00:27:13,840
to punish this orchard-slayer!
452
00:27:14,008 --> 00:27:16,844
Now stand aside, you puny man of cloth!
453
00:27:17,261 --> 00:27:19,846
Look at you standing there,
at your age!
454
00:27:20,348 --> 00:27:23,142
You ought to be ashamed
of such silly behaviour.
455
00:27:23,476 --> 00:27:26,437
Come down and talk!
We'll find a solution.
456
00:27:26,604 --> 00:27:29,481
Stand aside,
or I'll crush you flat!
457
00:27:29,648 --> 00:27:31,816
Alright then.
Stand aside.
458
00:27:32,193 --> 00:27:34,778
We might as well be in for a show.
459
00:27:34,945 --> 00:27:37,155
You, fetch a sheet to fold him in.
460
00:27:37,323 --> 00:27:39,658
You, a stretcher to carry him away.
461
00:27:39,825 --> 00:27:41,117
Jofroi, don't jump!
462
00:27:41,285 --> 00:27:43,912
There, we're all set, Jofroi.
Jump.
463
00:27:44,497 --> 00:27:46,707
I'll count to three.
One…
464
00:27:47,375 --> 00:27:48,250
Two…
465
00:27:48,626 --> 00:27:49,251
Three.
466
00:27:49,418 --> 00:27:52,087
You want me to jump, do you?
Too bad.
467
00:27:52,588 --> 00:27:54,506
- I'm not jumping!
- What a clown.
468
00:28:08,896 --> 00:28:12,065
Let me alone, Barbe.
I know what I'm doing.
469
00:28:12,817 --> 00:28:16,028
Well now, Jofroi.
You had us fret over nothing.
470
00:28:16,195 --> 00:28:17,321
You didn't jump.
471
00:28:17,738 --> 00:28:18,947
I got to thinking.
472
00:28:19,115 --> 00:28:20,991
Tomorrow is the village fair.
473
00:28:21,158 --> 00:28:23,702
I'll take my life during the fair.
474
00:28:24,161 --> 00:28:25,370
Come on, Barbe!
475
00:28:27,915 --> 00:28:29,541
More wine, father?
476
00:28:29,875 --> 00:28:31,751
Thank you, my child.
477
00:28:32,628 --> 00:28:34,296
After the Christian view,
478
00:28:34,797 --> 00:28:36,548
there's a practical view.
479
00:28:36,966 --> 00:28:37,841
It's a fact.
480
00:28:38,300 --> 00:28:40,051
To all the villagers,
481
00:28:40,219 --> 00:28:43,263
Fonse is responsible
for Jofroi's madness.
482
00:28:44,557 --> 00:28:45,683
They are wrong.
483
00:28:46,475 --> 00:28:48,351
- They said that?
- Earlier.
484
00:28:49,103 --> 00:28:53,023
After the scene on the roof,
I overheard a conversation.
485
00:28:53,816 --> 00:28:55,567
The road-mender said,
486
00:28:57,194 --> 00:29:00,071
"Who would have thought Fonse
was so nasty?"
487
00:29:01,115 --> 00:29:02,908
- You hear that?
- Yes.
488
00:29:03,075 --> 00:29:06,453
Just wait till I give his wife
a piece of my mind.
489
00:29:06,620 --> 00:29:09,914
No, my child.
Let's not add insult to injury.
490
00:29:10,583 --> 00:29:13,669
Jofroi's tale is over and done.
He did not jump.
491
00:29:14,545 --> 00:29:17,464
Let's forget all about it,
and play dominoes.
492
00:29:17,631 --> 00:29:19,257
That's why I mean!
493
00:29:19,425 --> 00:29:21,385
There's yet another point of view.
494
00:29:22,052 --> 00:29:25,346
The metaphysical angle,
you might say.
495
00:29:25,514 --> 00:29:26,389
Let us assume
496
00:29:26,807 --> 00:29:28,600
Jofroi had jumped and died.
497
00:29:28,767 --> 00:29:30,143
- He's dead?
- No.
498
00:29:30,769 --> 00:29:33,897
I said, "assume."
It's a conjecture.
499
00:29:35,274 --> 00:29:36,149
He's dead.
500
00:29:37,151 --> 00:29:39,528
- Did Fonse kill him?
- No!
501
00:29:40,779 --> 00:29:43,490
On that point, we agree.
But where I to ask:
502
00:29:44,700 --> 00:29:48,328
"Did Fonse play a role
in this burlesque tragedy?"
503
00:29:49,121 --> 00:29:53,375
"Was Fonse in any way involved
in Jofroi's miserable fate?"
504
00:29:53,959 --> 00:29:54,834
I'd say yes!
505
00:29:56,295 --> 00:29:57,170
He'd say yes?
506
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,047
Sure he would.
507
00:29:59,632 --> 00:30:02,051
And so would I.
And then?
508
00:30:02,218 --> 00:30:05,304
When a roulette player hits the jackpot.
509
00:30:05,638 --> 00:30:08,515
He gives the dealer a handsome tip.
510
00:30:08,682 --> 00:30:09,599
And yet…
511
00:30:10,809 --> 00:30:14,729
The dealer has not favoured his number
over another.
512
00:30:15,731 --> 00:30:16,648
Nevertheless!
513
00:30:16,815 --> 00:30:20,401
He carries a so-called
metaphysical responsibility.
514
00:30:21,028 --> 00:30:23,405
By the same token,
in Jofroi's story,
515
00:30:24,198 --> 00:30:27,201
Fonse bears a responsibility
516
00:30:27,368 --> 00:30:29,244
metaphysical in nature!
517
00:30:30,913 --> 00:30:32,414
You hear that, Marie?
518
00:30:33,290 --> 00:30:34,499
If Jofroi dies,
519
00:30:35,251 --> 00:30:37,211
Fonse then becomes
520
00:30:38,295 --> 00:30:40,130
the instrument of fate.
521
00:30:40,297 --> 00:30:42,799
What a twist!
You'll want to avoid that.
522
00:30:43,717 --> 00:30:45,343
He has done no wrong.
523
00:30:45,511 --> 00:30:48,388
Naturally, he has committed no wrong!
524
00:30:48,556 --> 00:30:49,974
Nevertheless,
525
00:30:50,474 --> 00:30:53,393
he feels most obscurely guilty.
526
00:30:54,186 --> 00:30:56,104
He has looked sheepish all day.
527
00:30:57,022 --> 00:30:58,648
One might almost say,
528
00:30:59,525 --> 00:31:00,609
miserable.
529
00:31:00,776 --> 00:31:01,485
It's true.
530
00:31:01,652 --> 00:31:02,903
Me, miserable?
531
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,322
Miserable as sin.
532
00:31:07,116 --> 00:31:08,534
Maybe I am.
533
00:31:08,701 --> 00:31:10,077
Making him suspicious.
534
00:31:10,661 --> 00:31:11,620
How so?
535
00:31:11,787 --> 00:31:15,081
We are blamed for our grief
more than our sins!
536
00:31:16,166 --> 00:31:17,709
Fallacy, my friend.
537
00:31:18,627 --> 00:31:19,794
A great fallacy.
538
00:31:21,422 --> 00:31:23,674
Fallacy to a near criminal degree!
539
00:31:24,133 --> 00:31:25,592
- Criminal?
- Yes!
540
00:31:26,510 --> 00:31:28,178
Please, father.
541
00:31:29,138 --> 00:31:30,556
Come, my friends.
542
00:31:30,723 --> 00:31:32,933
Do not try to understand,
543
00:31:33,100 --> 00:31:34,518
as you never could.
544
00:31:36,604 --> 00:31:39,148
The matter is beyond your reach.
545
00:31:39,523 --> 00:31:43,235
It is a conversation
for idle men and rhetoricians.
546
00:31:44,361 --> 00:31:47,280
And yet it is a very simple matter.
547
00:31:47,448 --> 00:31:49,741
Do you feel guilty, Fonse?
548
00:31:50,701 --> 00:31:53,620
I felt fairly innocent this morning,
father.
549
00:31:54,872 --> 00:31:55,956
All this talk…
550
00:31:56,123 --> 00:31:58,041
It poisons you.
551
00:31:58,208 --> 00:32:00,543
Scratch your nose, it starts to itch.
552
00:32:03,297 --> 00:32:05,966
I for one am telling you.
553
00:32:06,383 --> 00:32:07,717
Have no fear.
554
00:32:07,885 --> 00:32:11,054
You are an honest man,
who never hurt a fly.
555
00:32:11,597 --> 00:32:12,598
Forget about it.
556
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,478
Coming to the boules court?
557
00:32:21,190 --> 00:32:22,983
I'm not quite myself today.
558
00:32:24,026 --> 00:32:25,444
It's still on your mind?
559
00:32:27,237 --> 00:32:28,571
It's a fallacy, Tonin.
560
00:32:29,531 --> 00:32:30,448
A fallacy.
561
00:32:31,659 --> 00:32:33,535
- Did you hear them talk?
- Yes.
562
00:32:34,995 --> 00:32:37,872
Say, what do you reckon
a fallacy is?
563
00:32:38,999 --> 00:32:39,874
You see…
564
00:32:41,669 --> 00:32:43,420
Maybe it is my fault.
565
00:32:45,172 --> 00:32:48,383
Say it is.
What difference would it make?
566
00:32:49,259 --> 00:32:50,718
The fair is in town.
567
00:32:51,428 --> 00:32:52,595
Fetch your boules.
568
00:32:53,180 --> 00:32:55,599
Then come along.
Take your mind of it.
569
00:32:56,517 --> 00:32:57,601
Fine, I'll come.
570
00:32:58,394 --> 00:33:00,229
Just let me finish my lunch.
571
00:33:11,365 --> 00:33:14,451
- Going to the village, are you Jofroi?
- Yes.
572
00:33:14,993 --> 00:33:17,996
Today is Sunday.
You forgot your shirt-collar.
573
00:33:18,664 --> 00:33:21,500
I know.
I don't need any collar today.
574
00:33:21,667 --> 00:33:23,543
It would only get in the way.
575
00:33:23,711 --> 00:33:25,212
Now get on home.
576
00:33:42,771 --> 00:33:45,523
What is he fixing to do with that rope?
577
00:34:18,140 --> 00:34:19,599
Look who's coming.
578
00:34:22,102 --> 00:34:22,977
It's Jofroi.
579
00:34:23,145 --> 00:34:25,272
- Have you been to the orchard?
- No.
580
00:34:25,856 --> 00:34:27,065
I let it rest.
581
00:34:31,403 --> 00:34:33,696
Hey, Jofroi!
What are you up to?
582
00:34:38,577 --> 00:34:41,037
- What do you need a rope for?
- To hang myself.
583
00:34:41,205 --> 00:34:42,748
- To hang yourself?
- Yes.
584
00:34:43,665 --> 00:34:45,500
Fine, get it over with.
585
00:34:47,586 --> 00:34:49,296
I most surely am.
586
00:34:49,963 --> 00:34:51,089
Do us all a favour.
587
00:34:58,889 --> 00:35:01,224
Don't torment yourself, Fonse.
588
00:35:01,391 --> 00:35:03,810
He won't hang himself.
It's just an act.
589
00:35:04,478 --> 00:35:07,189
It could come to a dramatic end
just the same.
590
00:35:07,898 --> 00:35:10,692
That's true.
You were wrong to goad him on.
591
00:35:10,859 --> 00:35:12,277
What if he does it?
592
00:35:13,529 --> 00:35:15,614
If he does then he'll be hanged!
593
00:35:15,781 --> 00:35:16,656
Well said.
594
00:35:50,107 --> 00:35:51,817
You scoundrel!
595
00:35:52,401 --> 00:35:55,404
What kind of man
doesn't respect a hanged man?
596
00:35:59,867 --> 00:36:02,077
I'm a fool?
Well you're a clown!
597
00:36:24,349 --> 00:36:26,225
I don't like the look of this one.
598
00:36:27,853 --> 00:36:29,396
Here, just what I need.
599
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,511
Well, Fonse, what do I do?
Point or shoot?
600
00:37:03,388 --> 00:37:04,931
Can you pull a carreau?
601
00:37:05,599 --> 00:37:06,600
Then go on.
602
00:37:08,060 --> 00:37:08,935
Hey, Tonin!
603
00:37:09,394 --> 00:37:11,646
He's hanging himself
in your orchard.
604
00:37:14,483 --> 00:37:15,775
Quick, run!
605
00:37:17,736 --> 00:37:20,363
- What are you doing?
- Hanging myself.
606
00:37:20,530 --> 00:37:22,532
What for, you old bastard?
607
00:37:22,699 --> 00:37:24,283
You have no reason!
608
00:37:24,451 --> 00:37:26,911
- You're pulling on the rope!
- Liar!
609
00:37:27,871 --> 00:37:29,706
Hang yourself, if you must.
610
00:37:30,415 --> 00:37:32,208
Jofroi, do me favour.
611
00:37:32,584 --> 00:37:35,837
Do it in your cousin's orchard.
It's his business.
612
00:37:36,004 --> 00:37:38,006
Do it from his cypress tree.
613
00:37:38,173 --> 00:37:40,341
No way!
Cypress trees are bad luck.
614
00:37:40,509 --> 00:37:42,969
Then hang yourself to a plane tree!
615
00:37:43,303 --> 00:37:46,180
You'll have a nicer view.
Get up there.
616
00:37:47,349 --> 00:37:50,977
Always true to form, Tonin.
You selfish devil!
617
00:37:51,144 --> 00:37:53,563
Won't raise a finger for no one.
618
00:37:54,940 --> 00:37:56,441
I'll hang myself farther.
619
00:37:56,858 --> 00:37:57,817
But say…
620
00:37:58,151 --> 00:38:00,444
- Can you lend me the crate?
- Take it.
621
00:38:10,998 --> 00:38:14,418
Did you hear that?
I'm pulling on the rope!
622
00:38:14,584 --> 00:38:17,295
He wants you to be guilty.
For what?
623
00:38:17,963 --> 00:38:20,632
- He won't do it, I'm certain.
- So am I.
624
00:38:21,508 --> 00:38:22,425
Most certain.
625
00:38:24,136 --> 00:38:25,595
Quite certain…
626
00:38:29,766 --> 00:38:31,350
He went to Ernest's.
627
00:38:32,352 --> 00:38:34,896
- Is Ernest around?
- He went to town.
628
00:38:36,481 --> 00:38:38,316
Let's go around his place.
629
00:38:40,444 --> 00:38:43,196
Suppose he hanged himself,
tongue sticking out?
630
00:38:56,126 --> 00:38:57,001
My Lord!
631
00:38:57,878 --> 00:39:00,005
Oh, my husband! Help!
632
00:39:01,256 --> 00:39:02,131
What is it?
633
00:39:02,299 --> 00:39:04,092
Please, come quick!
634
00:39:04,259 --> 00:39:05,343
My man is dying!
635
00:39:05,510 --> 00:39:08,179
- Where is he?
- Swinging from a plane tree.
636
00:39:08,346 --> 00:39:09,847
Come, quick!
637
00:39:38,794 --> 00:39:39,878
Cut the rope.
638
00:39:57,312 --> 00:39:58,688
He's alright.
639
00:40:07,322 --> 00:40:09,449
The Lord would not have this sin.
640
00:40:11,243 --> 00:40:13,995
Rhythmical tractions of the tongue.
641
00:40:14,162 --> 00:40:16,247
- Rhythmical?
- Yes, of the tongue.
642
00:40:18,458 --> 00:40:20,418
Don't touch me, you murderer!
643
00:40:21,002 --> 00:40:23,462
Get him away!
He wants to strangle me.
644
00:40:23,630 --> 00:40:25,798
You! Stop strangling my husband!
645
00:40:33,306 --> 00:40:35,558
Faster! Faster!
646
00:40:36,601 --> 00:40:37,768
He's slipping!
647
00:40:38,270 --> 00:40:40,563
- What is it, Fonse?
- It's Jofroi!
648
00:40:41,064 --> 00:40:43,232
Jofroi! I've got him by the shoe.
649
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,860
- I can't hold him any longer!
- Fonse!
650
00:40:46,027 --> 00:40:48,195
My poor man.
Oh, my goodness!
651
00:40:55,412 --> 00:40:56,955
Hey, Fonse! Fonse!
652
00:41:04,504 --> 00:41:06,964
Oh, goodness!
What a ride.
653
00:41:07,591 --> 00:41:10,510
Jofroi had jumped in the Maussan well.
654
00:41:10,886 --> 00:41:13,096
I was holding on to his shoe.
655
00:41:13,263 --> 00:41:15,181
Take it out of your mind.
656
00:41:16,391 --> 00:41:19,394
I won't let Jofroi rob us of our sleep!
657
00:41:20,187 --> 00:41:23,106
- He never even hanged himself.
- But he did!
658
00:41:23,273 --> 00:41:26,317
I know it
because we had to get him down.
659
00:41:28,153 --> 00:41:29,904
What a fallacy!
660
00:41:31,615 --> 00:41:34,242
- Such a fallacy.
- Enough now, lie down.
661
00:41:34,409 --> 00:41:35,576
Go back to sleep.
662
00:41:36,870 --> 00:41:38,079
Alright.
663
00:41:38,788 --> 00:41:39,914
I'll go to sleep.
664
00:41:41,416 --> 00:41:43,501
- But leave the candle on.
- Right.
665
00:41:52,010 --> 00:41:53,177
Fonse!
666
00:41:55,764 --> 00:41:58,308
Hey, Fonse.
Jofroi is dead.
667
00:41:59,392 --> 00:42:00,059
What?
668
00:42:00,227 --> 00:42:02,854
He fell on the big road.
669
00:42:03,021 --> 00:42:06,149
He's lying on the ground,
his arms stretched out.
670
00:42:07,692 --> 00:42:09,068
He had it coming.
671
00:42:09,527 --> 00:42:10,778
And it came alright!
672
00:42:11,112 --> 00:42:12,071
A suicide?
673
00:42:12,697 --> 00:42:14,573
I don't know.
But he's dead.
674
00:42:15,617 --> 00:42:16,909
Let's get the priest.
675
00:42:45,146 --> 00:42:47,398
Go on,
I'll get the professor.
676
00:42:53,488 --> 00:42:54,822
Hey, professor!
677
00:42:56,700 --> 00:42:58,993
- What is it?
- Jofroi is dead!
678
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,912
He's lying in the road,
arms stretched out.
679
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:02,955
Come quick!
680
00:43:03,123 --> 00:43:04,332
I'll be right down.
681
00:43:16,136 --> 00:43:17,679
I'm getting the professor.
682
00:43:18,555 --> 00:43:21,057
- Well, Fonse?
- He's down the road.
683
00:43:59,971 --> 00:44:01,347
How long has it been?
684
00:44:02,515 --> 00:44:03,766
It smells already.
685
00:44:04,309 --> 00:44:07,020
You're the who one reeks, you pig!
686
00:44:07,187 --> 00:44:09,647
- Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
- What's he doing?
687
00:44:09,814 --> 00:44:12,483
How would I know?
What are you up to?
688
00:44:12,650 --> 00:44:15,152
I'm waiting to be run over by a car.
689
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,031
They'll surely spot you from afar.
690
00:44:18,198 --> 00:44:20,116
When I hear them nearing,
691
00:44:20,283 --> 00:44:24,287
I'll make myself so flat and thin,
that they won't see me.
692
00:44:24,454 --> 00:44:26,289
It's a stupid plan.
693
00:44:26,456 --> 00:44:29,167
Fonse, don't question my plans!
694
00:44:29,334 --> 00:44:30,960
You, of all people!
695
00:44:31,127 --> 00:44:32,503
As you wish.
696
00:44:32,670 --> 00:44:36,006
I'll stand on the side of the road
and stop the cars.
697
00:44:36,174 --> 00:44:39,427
"Drive slow," I'll say.
"Yonder down the road
698
00:44:39,594 --> 00:44:43,723
"is a wicked old geezer
fixing to be run over out of spite!"
699
00:44:43,890 --> 00:44:45,850
Stay till dawn for all I care.
700
00:44:46,851 --> 00:44:49,562
Drop it.
Leave this poseur alone.
701
00:44:50,355 --> 00:44:52,190
My poor Jofroi.
702
00:44:52,649 --> 00:44:55,401
Trying to commit
the most wretched of sins.
703
00:44:55,568 --> 00:44:58,404
The devil has robbed you
of your good sense.
704
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:03,367
I see now that you no longer fear hell.
705
00:45:04,702 --> 00:45:07,079
But you do fear catching a cold!
706
00:45:07,247 --> 00:45:09,624
That's true.
I'm afraid I'll catch a cold.
707
00:45:10,083 --> 00:45:13,628
At this time of year, on a cold road,
you certainly will.
708
00:45:13,795 --> 00:45:15,463
Are you certain, father?
709
00:45:16,339 --> 00:45:17,214
Perhaps.
710
00:45:20,009 --> 00:45:21,427
You're right, father.
711
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:24,389
Thanks, father.
712
00:45:27,225 --> 00:45:29,060
I'll kill myself another time.
713
00:45:43,783 --> 00:45:46,076
It's merely your nerves, Fonse.
714
00:45:46,578 --> 00:45:47,870
Your nerves!
715
00:45:49,289 --> 00:45:50,415
It's not my nerves.
716
00:45:50,790 --> 00:45:51,957
It's Jofroi.
717
00:45:52,417 --> 00:45:55,461
This wretched Jofroi is tormenting him.
718
00:45:56,504 --> 00:45:59,131
How many times has he committed suicide?
719
00:46:00,341 --> 00:46:01,425
Maybe thirty.
720
00:46:02,218 --> 00:46:03,302
Maybe more.
721
00:46:03,720 --> 00:46:06,723
So it's obvious.
He won't kill himself.
722
00:46:07,307 --> 00:46:09,183
I know he doesn't want to.
723
00:46:09,851 --> 00:46:12,103
But if he keeps on fooling around,
724
00:46:12,479 --> 00:46:15,106
he'll end up killing himself
by accident.
725
00:46:15,273 --> 00:46:17,900
Remember how he tried to swallow nails?
726
00:46:18,651 --> 00:46:19,526
On the square.
727
00:46:20,528 --> 00:46:22,780
He ended up swallowing a fistful.
728
00:46:24,866 --> 00:46:26,450
Where are the nails now?
729
00:46:30,872 --> 00:46:32,498
He jumped in the canal.
730
00:46:33,625 --> 00:46:35,251
Say no one had seen him.
731
00:46:37,170 --> 00:46:38,921
He'd been found at the gate
732
00:46:39,255 --> 00:46:41,006
with a stomach like a melon.
733
00:46:44,844 --> 00:46:47,263
Or take the time he went to buy acid
734
00:46:47,847 --> 00:46:48,931
from the grocer.
735
00:46:49,432 --> 00:46:50,724
Say he'd given him.
736
00:46:51,434 --> 00:46:52,518
What then?
737
00:46:52,685 --> 00:46:53,602
Add to that
738
00:46:54,479 --> 00:46:55,813
that he talks!
739
00:46:56,314 --> 00:46:57,898
He rambles on and on.
740
00:46:58,942 --> 00:47:00,234
He tells everyone:
741
00:47:01,277 --> 00:47:02,569
"That Fonse.
742
00:47:03,321 --> 00:47:04,697
"He's a monster."
743
00:47:06,241 --> 00:47:09,827
And people believe
I've done terrible things.
744
00:47:11,538 --> 00:47:13,039
You can't deny it.
745
00:47:16,417 --> 00:47:17,334
And yesterday.
746
00:47:18,169 --> 00:47:19,044
Marie.
747
00:47:19,587 --> 00:47:21,505
She came home weeping.
748
00:47:22,423 --> 00:47:23,507
My poor Marie.
749
00:47:24,217 --> 00:47:25,801
Guess what she'd seen.
750
00:47:27,554 --> 00:47:29,430
She'd seen children playing.
751
00:47:30,056 --> 00:47:31,599
Pretending to be Jofroi.
752
00:47:33,226 --> 00:47:35,770
The custodian's son was playing Jofroi.
753
00:47:36,563 --> 00:47:38,231
As for the grocer's boy,
754
00:47:38,815 --> 00:47:41,776
he had been asked to play Fonse.
755
00:47:42,944 --> 00:47:44,278
What did he reply?
756
00:47:45,154 --> 00:47:46,321
"No way!
757
00:47:46,948 --> 00:47:49,367
"I refuse to play an assassin!"
758
00:47:50,118 --> 00:47:53,704
Come now, Fonse.
It's children's talk.
759
00:47:56,874 --> 00:47:58,709
The priest was right.
760
00:47:59,460 --> 00:48:00,836
It's a fallacy.
761
00:48:02,213 --> 00:48:03,297
A great fallacy!
762
00:48:05,133 --> 00:48:06,008
A fallacy…
763
00:48:06,551 --> 00:48:09,554
A very strange one indeed,
this fallacy!
764
00:48:12,849 --> 00:48:15,059
He was upset by the orchard.
765
00:48:15,685 --> 00:48:16,894
So I stopped going.
766
00:48:18,313 --> 00:48:19,397
I have no crops.
767
00:48:20,273 --> 00:48:22,525
Come spring, I'll have four chickpeas
768
00:48:23,568 --> 00:48:24,735
from Marcellin.
769
00:48:25,528 --> 00:48:28,822
Save a few beans from my field,
and some melons.
770
00:48:30,950 --> 00:48:32,409
How will I feed my wife?
771
00:48:33,077 --> 00:48:34,828
She can eat the pig!
772
00:48:34,996 --> 00:48:36,747
And I'm here, aren't I?
773
00:48:36,914 --> 00:48:39,917
Yes, I know, Tonin.
You're a good man.
774
00:48:40,585 --> 00:48:42,336
But it makes me sick.
775
00:48:44,130 --> 00:48:45,923
There's one thing left to do.
776
00:48:46,424 --> 00:48:47,716
Lay down and die.
777
00:48:54,223 --> 00:48:56,266
- He's dead.
- No, not yet!
778
00:48:57,226 --> 00:48:58,101
Marie?
779
00:48:59,187 --> 00:49:01,189
Did you call in the priest?
780
00:49:01,356 --> 00:49:02,774
No, Fonse.
781
00:49:04,442 --> 00:49:06,360
That's not it.
Jofroi is dead.
782
00:49:09,572 --> 00:49:10,864
I've heard it before.
783
00:49:11,532 --> 00:49:13,867
It's the truth.
He's dead, Fonse.
784
00:49:14,577 --> 00:49:16,579
I gave him the last rites.
785
00:49:16,996 --> 00:49:18,664
- Did he kill himself?
- No.
786
00:49:19,165 --> 00:49:20,207
He had a stroke.
787
00:49:20,708 --> 00:49:22,835
Barbe came to find me this morning.
788
00:49:24,045 --> 00:49:26,797
He died a good Christian.
789
00:49:27,173 --> 00:49:28,090
Finally!
790
00:49:29,842 --> 00:49:33,303
- Are you quite serious?
- Yes, it's true.
791
00:49:34,055 --> 00:49:35,389
Quick, my pants!
792
00:49:35,556 --> 00:49:36,640
Quick, Tonin!
793
00:49:39,977 --> 00:49:41,728
Tonin, hitch up the mule.
794
00:49:42,605 --> 00:49:44,773
- Where are you going?
- To the orchard!
795
00:49:45,191 --> 00:49:47,109
To my orchard!
796
00:50:00,248 --> 00:50:01,499
You tore out a few.
797
00:50:02,291 --> 00:50:03,792
Not all of them.
798
00:50:04,961 --> 00:50:06,253
I'll leave a few.
799
00:50:07,588 --> 00:50:09,131
Jofroi's dead, bless him.
800
00:50:09,882 --> 00:50:11,258
If he looks down,
801
00:50:12,385 --> 00:50:13,344
he'll be glad.
802
00:50:14,929 --> 00:50:16,472
He can say to himself:
803
00:50:17,724 --> 00:50:19,225
"Fonse, after all,
804
00:50:20,393 --> 00:50:21,727
"wasn't a bad man."
805
00:50:25,815 --> 00:50:30,653
THE END
806
00:50:35,533 --> 00:50:38,035
