Three Kings' Day

I don't want to go. Nothing to do...

I'm not going. You hear me, don't you?

Anyway, I'll never go again.

Never again...

You can tell them that.

That's official, by the way, can you hear me?

Never again.

Never again. Never again.

- I can't hear you! Blah! Blah!!... - Never again.

I'd rather die than visit your family.

But I don't want to die. You can believe that.

Besides, I'm not ready to die. - Blah! Blah!..

We'll have to wait a bit longer. Solid carcass!

This carcass is solid!

It's enough with you... your family! - Blah! Blah!

Go to your family! They're your family! And stay there!

Hell, stay together! Since you love each other so much.

Stay there with them.

They're such good people,

so chic, so "proper".

Blah! Blah!

And don't come back here because I'm a disgrace to you...

- Blah! Blah! Not listening!. - ... Since I'm a nobody.

- A nothing. - Blah! Blah!

Since I'm below everything. Even less than that: a loser.

I'll show you what a loser is.

Yes, a loser! A beautiful loser!

A Chinese restaurant now... That's all we needed!

That's the best bit!

Go ahead and poison yourselves all at once.

And good riddance!

Maybe you counting on the Chinese

to get rid of me, right? I don't know.

Blah! Blah!

That's it, isn't it? - I can't hear anything! Blah!

Beriberi and rice?

I'm solid. Solid! - I can't hear anything.

I forgot to be stupid. Poor woman!

Or maybe you were hoping that

I would choke on the Galette des Rois. That I'd swallow the bean...

Don't count on it.

The Feast of Kings.

The Three Kings.

She believes! She believes in everything, even the baby Jesus!

In the Virgin Mary, the carpenter Joseph...

The lodge of the Holy Spirit... Even in the good Lord.

She believes in everything. Even in miracles.

The Feast of the Kings... Pa-pa-pa paaa!

Blasphemy now! Blasphemy!

You will be properly punished.

The feast of kings...

Fortunately, I've got my feet on the ground

I've got my feet on the ground.

And I'm the one holding the rudder.

I'm the king here until further notice!

Who's the ruler?

I'm not a catechism king, me.

I am not Pontius Pilate!

I am a king in my own right.

A real king. - King of the jerks!

And fuck the people. And fuck you all.

Poor fool!

Sad individual! Sad sire!

And then you'll have to get home before nightfall

or else I won't open the door.

You can sleep in a hotel if you want or under the bridge with the bums.

Because I... after 8pm, I don't open the door for anyone...

Not even the pope!

Get the hell out!

Pig!

Yes, I'm coming.

What the hell, what's that sound?

I've no idea what sounds like that

Hello?

Hello?

Who is this?

Hey, who is it?

Speak up, I can't hear anything.

Ah, it's you, Germaine.

Well, you're just in time.

If you saw the scene George just made...

I thought he wanted to give me a few punches.

But I told him: "If you touch a single hair on my head

the whole family will know about it and I'll ask for a divorce."

That made him think.

He knows he's not entitled to anything. You understand.

Everything belongs to me now...

Wait a second.

Wait a second... I'm going to sit down.

Anyway...

He doesn't want to come with us tomorrow to Albert and Armande's.

Yeah, he does.

He even said he'd never set foot there again.

You understand, at home, he can't say what he wants.

He can't be a star.

Yes, he looks like a dummy... Which he is.

I won't insist.

No, we'll be much better off without him.

I'm always afraid he'll say something stupid

or that he'll do something wrong.

Yes, with him, you can expect anything.

And then when I told him that we were going to the Chinese restaurant...

You know, there...

"You're going to poison yourself."

Note, he might not be completely wrong.

I'll have to force myself.

I'm going for it. You have to go with the flow.

What a great idea! What an idea they had there!

And then, let's not talk about Marie-Louise's show...

"You'll never drag me to see that crap for old people!"

He thinks he's still young.

Listen, I don't mind going to Marie-Louise's dancing.

Because she's our sister and we never see her.

Well, then I'll pick you up tomorrow

at 10:30, in the hall.

10:30... 10:30!

Write it down on a piece of paper.

And don't forget that either,

If the Chinese restaurant isn't enough

we go to the cemetery.

Yes, well...

A big kiss to you too.

See you tomorrow.

Hello? No, she hung up...

That's one thing taken care of... and well taken care of.

We'll be right back. I'll leave the flowers with you.

I trust you. - That's fine.

Hello?

Can you hear me? - Yes. Speak up.

It's me, I'm here for Ms. Guitard.

Ms. Guitard, you know me...

Yes, push the door.

Push hard, come on!

I'm pushing... but it won't open.

Oh dear... Bloody door!

How can that be?

Still nothing...

She's not there.

Germaine?

My God, my God...

Go and look in the TV room or in the park maybe.

She was waiting for you earlier in the hallway. She must have got impatient.

That's terrible... I'm always on time.

Not that I'm bragging

but in 40 years of working, I've never been late.

She should know better.

... At the moment of being delivered entering freely into His passion.

He took the bread, He gave thanks,

He broke it and gave it to His disciples, saying:

"Take and eat of it all

This is my body, delivered up for you."

In the same way, at the end of the meal, He took the cup

And again He gave thanks and gave it to His disciples, saying...

Germaine, it's time.

The taxi's waiting for us. We're going to be late.

I'll finish watching the service. You can wait.

... which will be poured out for you and for the many.

in remission of sins.

You shall do this, in remembrance of me."

Brothers and sisters, in the love of Christ, let us have peace.

Peace...

Peace...

Give us, O Lord, peace...

Good morning, Germaine.

What a face you're making! What's the matter?

You're asking me what's wrong...

What is it? Tell me!

Are you making fun of me?

But why do you want me to make fun of you?

What are you on about? You're getting ahead of yourself.

Come on, what did I do wrong?

I don't understand.

- What were you doing? - But... It's 10:30.

It's 10:30 now.

Come on, Germaine, get ready. We have to go.

The taxi driver will give us a hard time.

He's looking after the flowers,

so long as he's honest enough to wait.

I'm not going. I'm staying here.

You're not serious, I hope?

I'm not going to Armande's.

I'm sick of all this fuss.

What's past is past.

For me, the past is the present and even the future.

We could go to the self service at the end of the street, both of us.

That'd be nice too.

And then we could go to the movies. That'd be a change.

My God, you're not thinking! What are you on about?

You want to make us all pissed off with Armande.

Come on, they're waiting for us.

Besides, if we continue like this, they'll be worried sick.

And they bought a nice cake especially for us.

They would never forgive us for that.

And you forgot we have to go to the cemetery

to put some flowers on Mom's grave?

On the anniversary of her death.

Now I've bought the flowers.

You'll see, they're very pretty.

I've never seen this kind before.

Come on, Germaine, don't make me feel bad.

Come on, Germaine.

You'll see, you'll be happy.

It's the first step that's hard.

Do as I do to give yourself courage.

You're making a picture. Look, today is the epiphany.

Think of those three wise men who were so brave,

who walked in all kinds of weather

without even knowing where they were going, looking at the star.

That's an example for us. It encourages me.

You're not going to teach me the catechism now?

Of course not, I don't want to teach you Sunday school.

You know that better than I do.

I know my catechism... better than you'll ever know it.

Come on, think of Mom. She can see us from up there.

I hope you can remember where the vault is. I always forget.

You're not going to start...

We haven't been too long?

- Is it the old one or the new one? - Oh, there's an old one and a new one?

The old one. There's only the old one. Since forever...

Keep the door closed.

Germaine, it's not that way.

You're not going to start confusing me. Come on, shut up.

I'll follow you.

And I'm telling you it's not that way. - Will you stop, please?

I don't want to upset you but I assure you that this isn't the right direction.

We should have turned right back there.

After the bins, there's the water pump.

And then it's immediately to the right. - Never in your life!

I think it's over there.

Sorry, sir...

Sorry, sir...

The tombs of the Saint-Cyprien district, don't you know it?

The Guitard family.

Guitard, doesn't that tell you something?

There are also the Cordelier, the Poussacs...

... the Lestinquois...

Listen, madam, I'm not from here.

I don't know anything.

Please, madam. Talk to the guards.

They've got the information.

They have a map for the cemetery, madam. - Thank you very much, sir.

Did you hear what the gentleman said? Why don't we go and ask the guards?

Well, go ahead, if you want!

God, what bad luck!

But what will become of us now with these flowers?

I'm unhappy.

My God, I'm so unhappy.

I would like to die right now, on the spot. It'd be over, I'd be delivered.

I'll leave the flowers to you.

I'm going to the information desk. I'll be right back.

And if we get lost, I'll see you at the taxi.

He's very helpful, that driver.

There are many French people who wouldn't do the same. That's how it is...

I'm not taking another step.

Have mercy on me, Germaine.

It's not ill will but it's just that I can't.

You're going to do a lap for nothing.

Go see, if you want...

I'm telling you, it's not that way.

You're persistent.

What do we do now?

There's no time for that now.

Just leave the flowers with the guards.

With a decent tip, they'll take it there themselves.

If they're honest...

Still, in a cemetery, that'd be the devil.

You're pathetic.

You're mean.

But why are you like this?

I've never done anything to you, quite the contrary.

I always go out of my way to please you,

to be pleasant to you in spite of all my miseries.

Well, it's all the taxi driver's fault.

He tricked us with his story about old and new cemeteries.

Also, he's a foreigner...

What a weird idea to be a taxi driver when you're a foreigner!

He can't know.

Shut up, he's coming.

- What's up? - Just as I thought.

We're in the new cemetery, not the old one.

Come on, I'll take you there.

You'll have to run a little bit because the gates are going to close.

You're very kind, but we're running out of time.

We'll give them the flowers, they'll take them there themselves.

With a decent tip...

What a story!

Well, there you go! When you want it, everything works out.

Germaine, Don't want to bother you

but you can see that we were wrong.

I don't care. You want me to say: "I don't care about anything!"

He doesn't give me... I don't have a good impression of the guard.

He doesn't look honest. He must have been drinking.

Are you done?

Don't worry, I won't say anything else.

It's the Feast of Kings, let's think about something else.

I'm going to buy a nice cake on the way

so we don't arrive empty-handed.

It's not my fault. I asked you if it was the old one or the new one.

We didn't know that there were two.

You're better informed than we are. That's how it is...

I was born here, you know.

So I have my father, my uncle and my brother buried here.

You poor boy, you have so many dead already.

There's no reason... you have to bury them somewhere.

- Don't listen to what she's saying, she's talking nonsense. - I, you know...

Thank you very much. - We thank you.

Bye-bye. - Thank you.

What have you been up to? It's almost noon.

I thought you'd been kidnapped. - Don't remind me...

You don't have very clever sisters, you know. We'll explain.

I hope we didn't make Albert miss the mass.

You think he waited for you? As soon as he saw it was 11:15, he took off.

Him... Missing his mass, don't think about it!

We got lost. We've been going in circles for a good 20 minutes.

We got the wrong entrance. - Obviously...

Well, come in for a minute instead of pacing around outside.

Albert's here soon. He should be here by now.

I've only got my coat to get.

It's not too hot, is it? - Oh no, it's not.

What time is it, anyway?

Albert's very late. He should have been here at least five minutes ago.

But no, don't worry.

The mass will have lasted longer than usual.

You know, that priest, he's a joker.

He always has to invent some sort of originality.

To look younger, no doubt.

Besides... We don't like him very much Albert and me.

Really, he's exaggerating.

He's going to be late for the Chinese restaurant.

Definitely... this is the day of delays.

Maybe I'm wrong...

I know I'm not a great adventurer...

But I have to tell you

that I'm not proud of going to a Chinese restaurant.

Me, who can't put up with any different food.

Think about it, if Albert decided to go, it's because he's confident.

There's nobody more delicate than him.

It was Mr. Delacre who recommended it. - So...

They went to Indochina together.

So he's in a good position to appreciate this cuisine.

And it's a bit of a change from the usual.

I've never trusted these people. in honesty.

With their heads... their slanted eyes...

You can never tell what they're thinking.

You're so silly, Suzon.

But they're people like any others.

Rather better bred than us.

More refined, courteous.

Often, they're much more intelligent.

Maybe so... but it's precisely all these refinements.

All these ways...

Their way of walking with small steps without making any noise.

Shut up, you're talking nonsense.

Here comes Albert. It's about time.

You just have to try the food, if you don't like it, you can leave it.

You'll make up for it here when you get home with the pancakes.

Well, what were you doing? Can you believe it... 12:15!

But what happened to you, my poor things?

Answer me! Do you know what time it is?

Yes, I know what time it is but I can't help it.

It's that priest who wouldn't stop.

I was stuck in the middle of a row, I couldn't move.

Extraordinary! I can't believe it!

Since you know this is what happens

Why don't you sit at the end of the row?

Leave it out. It's no big deal.

We're not 15 minutes away.

- What were you thinking? - They got lost in the cemetery.

Just as we thought...

Well, let's go?

Yes, we're leaving now. We'll leave immediately. Come on. Get ready.

That's men for you... We've been waiting 15 minutes.

and it's us who get yelled at.

Isn't that something.

I'm on my way.

Suze is afraid of being poisoned at the Chinese restaurant.

So tell her what you think: That it's very fresh. Please

Yes, I'll tell her.

But it'll make no difference. You know her, when she gets an idea in her head...

I warned you. It was you who insisted that we should all go.

Yes, it's a done deal.

But you can still say a word to her. It won't hurt your tongue.

I'll talk to her about it. Go and open the car door for them.

"The dragon's palace"

What a crazy world!

But thinking about it... They eat with chopsticks, those people?

I'll never learn that.

Nobody's forcing you to eat with chopsticks, Suze.

They give you forks, if you ask for them.

You think they're savages?

You won't stay covered up like that? You look like a mummy.

I'll do it my way.

I'm not very warm. I'll undress later.

Hey, we're well taken care of.

We're in the best position, so to speak, best placed.

It's like being in China.

It's true it's very pretty. Right, Germaine?

You like flowery places, you're in luck.

Yes, it's very good.

Lots of room.

It's well spaced out. It's nice.

It's clean.

If the kitchen's the same, there's nothing wrong with it.

You see, you were worrying about nothing.

Come on, choose instead of chatting. You're keeping them waiting.

Just because we're in a in a Chinese restaurant

doesn't mean you're going to lead us on a wild goose chase.

We're allowed to exchange a few words aren't we?

You can talk, you're the one who made us late.

Let's relax a bit.

It's Sunday.

Oh, it's all in Chinese!

There's French next to it.

Albert, guide us I don't understand it.

Choose for me.

For starters, let's all have the same thing, right?

That'll avoid complications. Egg rolls. No surprises there.

I don't mind. I'll have what you have. Make the best of it.

Here we go, to start with 4 egg rolls

and then... uh.. Did you choose, Albert?

Yes. Duck with rice.

Well, me too.

2 ducks and ... uh...

... 2 chickens with black mushrooms with rice.

And for monsieur, a small quart of wine. In a jug, please.

For us, it will be water. A jug of water.

And you will be kind enough to give us forks?

'cos we are not chopstick experts at all.

Except my husband.

What did you order for us?

Did I hear something "black"?

A chicken with black mushrooms.

This is what will make you feel least out of place. It's light, it'll go down easy.

It's very good.

Mushrooms... They're indigestible.

Black mushrooms.

You're annoying me. You're the one who asked us to choose, right?

I'm telling you that it's excellent and very light.

It's kind of like... seaweed.

Not spongy like our porcini mushrooms.

It's more like our Death Trumpets.

Death Trumpets?

I never ate those, my poor Armande.

Nor seaweed.

Say what you like... I'm not used to it, you know.

I'm a bit disoriented, well...

... you have to go through the experiment.

If you don't like it, don't worry, I'll eat your share.

I'm starting to warm up.

It's the good mood doing that.

My God, they're funny.

It's all very well to say that we're all brothers

but we really have nothing to do with them.

They're a separate race.

Besides, they only associate with each other.

What's that pink thing you have around your neck, Suze?

It's a boa.

I got it at the supermarket. There was a whole range of them.

It's swan feather.

The saleswoman told me that it's the hottest thing.

That's true, It keeps my neck very warm.

See the "electric pink" colour it has?

You couldn't have found something more eye-catching, couldn't you?

She's out of her mind.

Germaine, tell her she's being ridiculous.

I don't really care!

It's not for show.

I bought it to keep me warm.

The rest, huh?...

What do you care?

Let her if she likes it.

As far as I'm concerned, she can put a chamberpot on her head.

I don't care at all. It's her business.

You could say you're charitable.

So you'd let people make fools of themselves under your nose without saying anything?

And you call yourselves practising Catholics...

You look good... In a funny way.

I, neither Catholic nor practising,

have more charity than you, it seems.

Suzanne, please take that off.

You can wear it at home if you like but not outside.

Anybody in their right mind would tell you that.

You can explain to me what religion has to do with it?

I'd like to hear that.

Leave her alone.

Let's finish eating in peace.

Listen, Albert, we didn't ask you anything.

And anyway, you don't care about anything. So...

If I didn't keep an eye on you you'd go out in your pyjamas.

In your opinion...

In pyjamas! What an idea...

Why not in swimming trunks while you're at it?

If I'd thought it'd make a fuss like this.

I, who have a holy terror of being noticed.

It's over now. Let's not talk about it anymore.

You're very dainty.

You're my sister after all. Kind of like being me.

You're much better, you know, all simple and natural.

Please forgive me if I was a bit brusque but...

it's not out of spite, you know on the contrary... It's for your own good.

In any case, you always have to be right.

This is the only way to have any peace with you.

Of course I know it's not out of spite.

We've known each other long enough, haven't we?

Well... You have to be accommodating in life.

But it has to be said, both of you, you have quite a temper.

Fortunately I'm easier than you.

Look at the little Chinese boy...

With his parents...

Oh, how cute he is! He's so cute.

He looks like a porcelain doll.

With his little hair all stiff like a hedgehog.

He's really funny.

The rose, like most flowers,

if it can sing, it will sing with two voices.

I'll try to sing "La Vie en rose".

always with my Siamese twin sister.

It's for life and for laughs!

A singer, my dear! We are spoiled.

What a funny voice.

I left my pills in the car. I'll be right back.

That's not "La Vie en Rose".

It's unrecognizable.

When he takes me in his arms,

He speaks to me softly. I see "La Vie en rose".

Is that it, Germaine? You used to sing it so well.

Bravo, my little Suze. You've got a good ear.

I wouldn't have recognized it.

Can't you talk about about anything else?

Stop it, Germaine...

Stop it, Germaine.

You'll make us both cry both of us like Madeleines.

What do you want me to do about it?

If you think I'm enjoying it.

You can be so stupid.

I'm sorry... I'm angry with myself.

I can't help it, my little friend. That's life.

You can be so stupid the two of you

to stir up the past like that. But what's done is done.

That's fate.

It's not up to us, that's what we have to tell ourselves.

If Albert could see you...

Listen, Suze, I beg you, mind your own business.

We're old enough to take care of ourselves.

Just finish your black mushrooms.

Come on... wipe it away.

Don't let Albert see it.

He doesn't deserve this.

That would be doing him too much honour. - Poor Albert...

I don't think he even realised.

I don't think he ever understood anything.

He's so...

You think so, huh?

Of course, he's a village idiot. but still, he's not innocent.

Listen to this,

he was always as unhappy about it as you are, if that's any consolation.

There he is! Stop! He's coming.

Here we go...

And that silly singer keeps going.

I think he's coming to our table, the singer.

He makes us laugh, it's silly.

No, listen, stop it, Suze! You'll end up offending him.

Oh, the lovely bananas!

We go from surprise to surprise. From novelty to novelty.

It's like being in Wonderland.

Wait, I'll put some juice in.

- Oh, it's beautiful! - Do you want some?

A little bit of sauce.

Here, do what I do.

Dip it well, like that... with the spoon.

So that the banana is soaked in the alcohol.

- Aren't you eating, Germaine? - I'm not hungry anymore.

You're wrong, it's delicious. It's the best.

Don't insist.

Aren't you happy that we came here?

But I am... but...

I can't wait to go home now. I've had enough.

And that singer annoys me.

Please, please, please.

Would you be kind enough to give us the bill and all our stuff, please.

You see, Suze, your final day hasn't come just yet.

You really don't look like you're dying.

There's nothing to complain about. It was perfect.

I'm not sure what I swallowed

But it went down well.

And that singer... I've not stopped laughing yet.

When I'm feeling down, I'll just think of him.

It's a change of pace.

I feel like I've been on a trip abroad.

Not the same for you...

You've been twirling around so much all over the place

that you're not amazed by anything anymore.

While I, so to speak never left the house.

it was a change of scenery.

Where did I put that catalogue? I have to show you something.

It's especially for you, Suze, who always has cold feet.

Wait...

There you go!

"Pull in your claws after a hard day."

"Slip your overworked feet voluptuously in these tiger's paws slippers".

"and relax comfortably with their cuddly softness

and emotional warmth."

One size, 129 Fr.

Here, look at the model.

When you have these on your feet, you can go to Siberia.

To Siberia... God forbid! That word alone gives me the shivers.

Let's see.

It's not about you. You have nothing to worry about.

You're just like Mom. You always had perfect feet.

I'm still happy! Everything else is wrong, so...

But you're laughing at me?

No one would dare to put such things on their feet!

But what does it matter? They're for wearing inside.

Not for the parade. The main thing is to keep warm.

Never in my life would I dare to put on such a costume.

They look like animals' legs.

And you blame me for my pretty pink boa?

And you want me to wear those?

Well what would people think of me?

That I've gone completely crazy.

But does it matter since it's for inside?

And you'd never see anyone. - And the postman? And the doctor?

And then there's me. I'd see myself.

Let me see that.

You can afford this kind of fantasy.

I don't think so. I'm surprised you like it.

No.

For the young folks, it could be OK. For Suzou, it's too flashy.

There are simpler types in the supermarkets.

No, it's ridiculous.

You're so serious!

How unimaginative you are!

I wouldn't be scared at all.

You are you.

We'd have absolutely nothing like that.

We were raised the same way

but we have nothing to do with each other.

Look, our sister Marie-Louise...

So there, for now, I don't understand it at all.

The three of us again... We're pretty reasonable.

And... normal.

We've got some common sense

and above all we hate to be noticed.

So how do you explain that Marie-Louise is so different from us?

It's true, she's extravagant. - That's true.

It's a mystery, there's nothing I understand.

Anyway, this evening Marie-Louise is waiting for us.

This time we're not going to back out.

She insisted so much that we should come see this show.

She seems very proud of it.

She told me that the company's repertoire

had been renewed from top to bottom.

There will be a theme.

The theme will be a trip around the world.

There will be singing, dancing, some kind of routines.

She calls them "clips".

What she won't come up with to get in the mood!

In any case, I'm sure we won't be bored.

I'm expecting everything. Just thinking about it makes me dizzy.

I wonder where she gets the energy to do all this nonsense.

Basically, if she's having fun... Right?

That's right.

She's right. I admire her.

It's a change from the atmosphere I always have around me.

By the way, you didn't tell us about your last trip to the theatre.

We were a bunch of senior citizen cards. A right mess! You should have seen it!

Some fell down the stairs. Others were fainting...

Really no good.

Then finally, the show! "The Land of Smiles"

I gave you my heart,

You hold in you all my happiness.

Without your kiss... - He dies.

For without the sun, the flowers weep.

You, my beautiful song of love

And for you alone...

No, "It will always bloom." - ...always.

You whom I adore. O you, my sweetness,

Tell me again, I have given you my heart.

You've got an amazing memory.

We are definitely in a Chinese mood it's the day for that.

It's not set in China, it's in Japan. You're mixing everything up.

China or Japan, it's similar. It's even-stevens.

And if you can tell a Chinese from a Japanese, then you're doing good.

Because for me, it's the same, poor things.

What are you two talking about? It's set in China.

It's even in the lyrics of the song. You know, the...

To the... "In the living room of a pagoda".

La la la la... hair...

La la la la... it's not fair...

... In China it's awful. In China it's no good.

It's Prince Sou-chong who's marrying Lisa, right?

Sou-Chong! That's Chinese, right?

But it doesn't mean anything!

I remember very well the sets and costumes

which are always in the Japanese style.

With almond trees in bloom...

Finally, Albert!

But what are you laughing at? like the fool you are?

You know that too it's Chinese!

I do?! But I never understood anything.

I remember it was... Prince Sou-Chong. That's right.

But to say that it's Chinese or Japanese...

Finally, Albert, you know this operetta by heart.

What's it about? Is it Chinese or Japanese?

It's Chinese.

There, you're happy now?

But it doesn't matter...

This is also "The Land of Smiles".

Oh, look!

The little bird hopping.

He's got pretty colours.

Armande, you know about birds,

It's a robin, right?

If it has a red throat, it's a robin... That's a good one!

It's nice.

Look at how they're stuffing their faces with seeds.

And the chickadee...

she eats to burst.

The one with the hood, That's the great tit.

And the one with the crown on his head

That's the one they call "the gendarme".

There are lots where I am. I look at them.

It takes my mind off things.

Since the start of winter,

they ate me out of 3 kg of sunflower seeds.

It's a right parade, isn't it?

As it's almost always the same ones, I end up recognizing them.

The chickadees, they carry the seeds up to the trees

and they sort them out in the branches with their legs.

They also ate a lot of fat.

and you can see that. how fat they are.

The greenfinch, he scoffs everything on the spot.

He takes the seed out of the husk right on the perch.

He is stronger with his big beak.

He's quick to pick everything apart.

He's very voracious.

With his big legs.

Every 2 or 3 days I have to clean the lawn.

And take a shovelful of seed husks out.

The robin,

is more rare.

He's more fearful.

He doesn't mix with others.

Look, he's barely pecking...

And woof!... He disappears.

Besides, he's more fragile.

They die a lot.

Look, there they all go.

If they don't come back, it's because they've seen the neighbour's cat.

What did I say?

What did I say!

There's the "artiste"!

Lucky he's not discreet. You can see him coming from afar.

Dirty cat.

Shall we go to the garden?

With this little ray of sunshine,

it would be a shame to stay cooped up, wouldn't it?

It'll stretch our legs.

Here, Suze, we'll take this opportunity to go and look at the sage plant.

I'll give you each a little bunch for your infusions.

Oh, these feet are giving me plenty!

They've never been so generous. - You have a fairy's hand.

You're good with plants. In fact, you're good at everything.

With me it wouldn't work. - If you had a garden, it would work.

I'm not particularly good at it. It's a question of terrain, orientation.

Of course on your terrace... - Taratata... You have to be good.

How well you look after your lawn!

It thick, it's green. It's blinding.

It needs maintenance.

It sure needs the mower of misery.

Luckily, this kind of stuff amuses Albert a lot.

Go away, you beast!

Leave our birds alone!

As if he didn't have enough to eat at home. He's as big as a sperm whale.

Nice air you have here. It's not like downtown.

You're lucky to have so much fresh air.

I'm taking a full supply for the week.

What did you see? You look like hell!

It looks like a hen who swallowed wrong.

That's their palm tree that they wrapped in plastic!

How ugly!

It looks like a scarecrow for sparrows.

They say it stops it freezing. They read that in a gardening magazine.

But that's stupid! You don't do it like that at all!

You have to surround them with straw and wire.

It'll be lucky if it returns to its human form.

It's awful!

What can you do

We don't spend our days looking at the neighbours' garden.

We have enough to do with our own.

She's becoming unbearable.

She criticizes everything, knows everything, and pontificates on everything.

Now it's the neighbour's palm tree that's not hers.

What are you saying? Palm tree?

Germaine doesn't like the plastic wrap on the Monnier's palm tree.

Oh, if that's it...

Let her talk.

She criticizes everything, it's in her nature.

She'll soon forget it.

I'll give you your ration of sage.

I'll give you some, Germaine?

Will you at least eat it?

I'm not cutting it to go straight in the bin.

Otherwise I'll leave it where it is.

You're making a lot of tea, aren't you? - What do you want me to do with it?

Your sage is very good.

By the way, I'm giving some to my neighbours.

You can hand them out to whoever you like.

The main thing is that is that it doesn't get wasted.

We don't lack fans, you know. You might as well enjoy it.

Come here, Suze.

Look at this.

This is a begonia plant the neighbour gave me.

We'll see what happens.

It'll die.

Why would it die, tell me please? You're very sure of that.

Never before Easter.

Begonia, never before Easter.

We'll see. I think the begonia looks very good.

We'll talk about it again.

I'd like it to hold on to life just to annoy you.

You're making me talk nonsense.

If it dies, it dies. Big deal!

I'm not the one who invented the rules of nature, after all.

I'm only telling you what I've learned and observed.

I've done enough gardening, I think.

What about dad? He gave me enough gardening lessons.

Let's talk about Dad!

He had ideas like that, he couldn't get out of them. He was very stubborn.

We know all about that! Poor dad...

It's getting cold.

I feel like I'm going to get ill.

Don't you think it's cold? - Let's go inside.

Dad and his great principles... About gardening and so on.

You've learned a lot, I can tell you that.

I do what I want and I'm pretty much happy with that.

so I'll go on.

- You're right in a way. - You don't have to say that.

Let's go eat the "Galette des Rois".

Again?! We've just come from the table.

Poor Germaine, I'm afraid I don't have enough room.

Honour to the eldest.

She's very good.

It seems to me that it's even better than last year's.

The new bakers are very dilligent.

We go to them all the time, we've never been disappointed.

and even "religieuses".

Always successful.

They're doing a good job.

I hope mine won't be too bad.

It's not so good quality.

At least it's edible.

It's not going to be light

There's something like butter!

Yes, but we only eat it once a year. It's an extra.

You could go there, it's very fresh.

I think I've found something.

Long live the Queen!

It's a good thing it's on you.

I make a beautiful queen. Good thing I don't have anything to rule.

What?! But you're our queen, Germaine.

Don't talk nonsense. Eat your food.

You have to put your crown on anyway.

You have to put your crown on.

What kind of bean is it this year?

A porcelain sheep.

A sheep.

Good thing you didn't swallow it. You were ready for the hospital.

They're crazy.

That should be banned. A sheep!

What an idea!

In the past it was a simple bean or the baby Jesus.

They don't make little Jesus anymore.

It's gone. It's a shame.

We could break our teeth.

Well, Germaine, you have to choose your king.

You can't be the only one crowned.

Long live the King! It looks like you were born wearing it.

I assure you... the king of the idiots, yes.

Come on, you have to try this one too.

Come on, kiss each other.

What the hell is this?

We're not waiting for anyone.

Mrs. Azzaro, perhaps.

That's all we need now!

Well, go and open it.

We'll get her in the mouth with a piece of pie.

She's so greedy, it'll stop her from talking too much.

Every time we eat cake she seems to smell it.

Maybe she'll get tired of it.

No.

Get the door. She knows we're here, the car is in front of the door.

- Hello, Mrs. Azzaro. - Good morning, Mrs. Azzaro.

That's her!

No, don't move.

Let's continue as if nothing had happened.

This is the only way to make her go away quickly.

Pain in the ass, this one!

She'll make us late for Marie-Louise's show.

You can have a piece of cake with us.

I took the opportunity to bring you your catalogues.

Yes, thank you, Mrs Azzaro.

But the whole family is here in full force!

Well, that's nice!

Because without family, eh...

Say... It's been at least 15 days!

What am I saying... I haven't seen you for three weeks.

I hope everything's going well, eh?

Health and everything else...

So what?! Happy anniversary to both of you! to both of you!

Oh well... I'm going to kiss everyone again.

Hey, it's funny that it falls on on Three Kings Day, isn't it?

Yes, it is...

So what does that make it? 45? - 45.

Well, you're well on your way to a golden wedding.

Well, yes.

You're not going to get a divorce now, are you?

- No, I'm not. - You never know, though.

We've seen more of those, haven't we?

Sit down.

You can have a piece of cake with us.

I can't because my nephew is here with his wife.

They'd wonder what I was doing and they'd yell at me.

They think I'm a chatterbox I'm a chatterbox?!

No. I say I'm sociable I'm just sociable.

You can't live locked up in your corner all your life.

Or else it's not worth living in society.

Isn't that true?

And your husband, is he doing any better?

Don't remind me... It's a real disaster.

Yes, between the blood tests, blood pressure,

electrocardiograms, X-rays,

injections, nurses, doctors.

Poor guy,

I feel sorry for him but what can I can do about it, eh?

That's true, as I tell him:

"take it easy, it'll pass".

We all have our our share of suffering.

Offer it to the good Lord.

Don't talk to me about the good Lord, Mrs. Suzou! Excuse me if I call you Suzou.

Because I've got two words to say to say to that one!

He will remember it I beg you to believe!

You mustn't take it like that.

It is our fate on earth to suffer.

We have to accept it, there's no choice.

Accept it if you want, Mrs Suzou,

but I don't accept it.

I would understand it if we were murderers...

... but my husband and I, we never hurt a fly.

But what do you want, it's our fault!

It's original sin.

And you think that's normal, logical?

that we have to pay for the nonsense of those two?

Well, no, I'm revolted by it.

You can't change that.

Our poor mother used to tell us that every day.

Satan rules the world.

We can't fight Satan. He is stronger than we are.

What a lot of nonsense you talk, my poor Suze...

And you think you're being comforting?

It's true, there's nothing to understand unfortunately.

One needn't go looking for the devil and the good Lord for that.

But yes... Eat your cake,

it'll be better than putting you in such a state.

If it doesn't do you any good, it won't do you any harm

Yes, thank you.

If you were to go on a pilgrimage to Lourdes,

I'm sure that the Blessed Virgin could help you.

I don't think I'll change my mind.

Once I've been cheated on, it's over.

I have a hard head. I can't be owned twice in a row.

I mean... As long as you can hold on.

You are robust, lucky for you.

Are you expecting people?

- Is my aunt there? - Yes, she is.

Well, I'll tell her right away. - Okay, thank you.

It's your nephew who's getting impatient.

I told him to come in but he said he had to leave very quickly.

Oh dear, my God, I'm gonna get yelled at.

I'm sorry to have bothered you.

I'm leaving.

Thanks for the cake.

Bye-bye. I have to go.

Well, you know...

There's always more to pity than yourself.

She's to be pitied but she is tiresome.

And sometimes we get her litanies up to twice a day.

You have to have patience.

So, have you seen that specimen?

Again she was in a hurry. - But she's a hurricane, that woman!

A cyclone!

But, good for her.

It may help her in the face of adversity.

I like them, women like that.

It's funny, isn't it?

It's almost funny when there's really nothing to laugh about.

It's funny once or twice, not more.

We can be charitable, but...

there are times when I hold back not to send her packing.

When I think about it...

And you're talking to her about going on a a pilgrimage to Lourdes.

I don't know what you're thinking.

But why not! It can't hurt.

Even less to her husband, who's the unfortunate one.

There's many who go there

and come back cured or at least, well relieved.

What you don't need to hear! You're even more naive than Mom.

If you don't believe it, that's your business

but at least respect those who do believe.

There have been enough miracles like that.

All the crutches hanging in the cave testify to that.

What a load of crap!

This story about the Virgin Mary is completely ridiculous.

That you dispute the miracles, OK,

but you're not going to dispute the existence of the Blessed Virgin?

How can anyone still believe in such stories?

Well, if it helps you to live, good for you.

But everyone can find interpretation.

Everyone is free to put in what they want and then that's it. That's the big deal!

And the Immaculate Conception too, while you're at it!

I swear...

But I think so.

That's how she she presented herself to Saint Bernadette:

"I am the Immaculate Conception"... And yes!

And yes, and what does that mean, my poor Suze:

"I'm the Immaculate Conception", really?!

It does say what it means.

Everyone knows it, even the non-believers...

Including you first, by the way.

Don't play innocent, eh. We had exactly the same education.

Oh yes, alas!

But I didn't just swallow it, I thought about it. You know what I mean.

So I'm waiting for you with your Immaculate Conception, to see.

But it's simply that the Virgin conceived Christ

without committing the Sin of the Flesh.

- By the operation of the Holy Spirit, right?! - Yes!

It was the angel Gabriel who came and told him.

Oh, yes. And even Joseph was exactly like you, by the way.

He didn't want to believe it. Well, he had to.

- It's in all the Gospels. - And then you interpret it how you want. That's it.

What do you mean? How do you interpret it how you want?

Not at all, I'm sorry. It's a dogma!

It's take it or leave it.

We're not given a choice, by the way. That's what I blame them for.

I mean, how can anyone still believe in such nonsense?

That children still believe it, I can understand that. But adults?

When you know life...

And first of all, that's not what Suzou said at all.

It was never written that the Virgin did anything to have a child.

It was only said

that she conceived, she, the Holy Virgin,

without sin. That is all!

What?! What?! What?! What are you talking about now?!

But what do you have to hear! Albert, finally...

No, don't bother me with that.

Let me digest my cake in peace. Just ask a priest.

I don't want to get involved in this.

That's a bit strong, isn't it?

Germaine, on this point, I assure you you're wrong.

You probably forgot.

But there is the fact that the Virgin conceived Jesus

without committing the Sin of the Flesh.

Nowhere was it said that it was a sin to make children!

That would be the end of the world. It doesn't make sense!

She is free of sin.

That's it... and that's good enough.

No, you're both as crazy as each other, I swear!

I know what I'm saying!

"Virgin" What do you think it means?

That's French, right? "Virgin". There aren't 36 meanings for that word!

But I know what I'm saying too.

There is a literal and a figurative sense.

You only have to look it up the dictionary.

The virginity of the Virgin, that's another question.

"Virgin" here means: virgin of all sin.

All the rest is fantasy.

And perhaps inventions of the church.

Never in a million years! You're talking nonsense as usual.

Albert, the Gospels, can you get them for me? please, you'd be very kind.

You'll see.

When you have something in your head, you can't take it anywhere else.

How stupid you two are.

What does it matter? It's business for theologians.

There are no two interpretations the same.

That's not the point.

- What's the main thing? - The main thing is to have faith.

And to love your neighbour as yourself. For God's sake.

And to keep the ten commandments. That's all.

The rest...

Please, stop lecturing. You are poisonous.

That's not the point! I want to get to the bottom of this and I will.

You will find it in the bottom left-hand corner of the bottom drawer.

- But I looked, it's not there. - But look for it anyway.

You're bothering me with this. Look for yourself.

There!

Glasses...

... we'll see what we'll see.

Germaine, what are you doing?

But why are you getting so upset?

You're really unreasonable.

It's ridiculous to get yourself to get into such a state over nonsense.

Aren't there enough wars as it is?

Armande, do something?

Albert... Try to calm her down.

Let her go if it makes her happy. She won't get far.

I've had enough of this whole charade.

There are some things that are indisputable. There are limits to patience.

There are times you have to stop.

The sixth month after conception,

the messenger Gabriel is sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth

to a young girl engaged to a man called Joseph.

The maiden's name was Mary... ... Mary is deeply troubled...

The messenger continues: "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you are loved by God."

"You will conceive and give birth to a son whom you shall name Jesus."...

Mary said to the messenger, "How can this be since I do not know a man."

"The holy spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you."

"Therefore the child to be born will be holy and called the son of God."

... etc, etc...

And this is in St. Luke, it's the Annunciation.

That's it! You're well on your way now.

Catch up with her!

Do something about it.

But... she can't be really gone?

She's not that stupid.

What a disaster.

She can't walk home. it's too far.

So she's leaving? - So she's leaving.

She's already at the end of the lane. And she's walking at full speed.

"This is the origin of Jesus Christ."

"Mary, his mother, was committed to Joseph."

"Before they lived together, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit."

"Joseph, her husband, who was just and would not denounce her".

"decided to put her away secretly..."

What's she going to do? - She'll probably take the bus.

"While meditating on this, a messenger of the of the Lord appeared in a dream and said:"

"Joseph, a descendant of David"

"do not be afraid to take Mary, your wife".

"for what is in her emanates from the Holy Spirit."

Etc... And this is in Saint Matthew! It's clear!

I don't care if she goes on foot, on horseback or by car, I don't care.

I won't lift a finger. I'd rather die.

That'll get him off his feet.

No, but still... She's messing with us now.

A little is okay but enough is enough.

How can you be so bad?!

Maybe this will make her think.

She has to fall flat on her face from time to time... Otherwise where do we go?

Well, am I right or am I not right? - Yes, of course you're right.

I didn't want to insist I didn't want to add fuel to the fire.

but only you know her, Germaine. ...She distorts everything.

And when she has an idea in her head,

she gets too proud to give up on it.

She's stumbling.

She'd get nasty, huh.

I mean, you have to take it for what it is.

I don't even argue with her anymore, it's not worth it.

Since she's like that, you have to take her as she is.

Trying to tell me that the Virgin is not a virgin!

Her malicious pleasure in saying anything out of sheer bossiness.

What does she think? That everyone will bow down?

Yes, okay, I feel sorry for her.

I agree, she doesn't have a fun life.

I mean, it's her fault, right?

And I'm not a whipping boy like you.

Albert, go and see if you can catch her.

Are you serious?!

Do you want me to go and get her?

Do you think that's my role?

You're not afraid of side jobs, tell me.

She'll never want to come back. And she'd be right.

Go ahead anyway.

You're the only one who can convince her.

You're getting a bit tiresome the three of you.

It takes patience to put up with you. That's an understatement.

Another successful Sunday.

Well, I'm off

but don't imagine you're doing it to please yourself.

I hope he finds her.

But she's risking getting ill.

She's never done that to us.

She's always been strong-minded but not to this extent.

She's got the devil in her.

I hate taking this route but I have a temper too.

You can't always give up everything.

She's not going to make me pay for the rest of her life, is she?

Good Lord, It was Albert who chose between the two of us, not me.

She only has to take it out on him after all.

She's had plenty of opportunities to get married, right?

She never wanted to. She never did.

She always said she wasn't cut out for it.

What can I do?

If you only knew what she makes me put up with.

I offer it to the Lord.

Basically, it makes me laugh.

Offer whatever you want to the Lord, the Lord has a strong back.

What's up? - So, she's nowhere.

I've been looking around...

She must have taken the first bus that came along.

Let's hope so.

Well, Let's go.

Too bad for her. What's done is done.

I'll phone tonight after Marie-Louise's show.

She'll hopefully have calmed down. - Let's hope so.

What will Marie-Louise say when she sees that there's no Germaine?

We don't have to give any account to Marie-Louise.

For what she does That's family life.

That's not what keeps her awake at night.

I'm glad we're going to go to the trouble to go and see his show.

Come on, let's go. Hurry up.

And now for the scene change,

we're going to do like the wise men.

We are going to change the country

and even the continent.

We're going to have a great trip.

And to keep our spirits up,

we're going to... the "Land of Smiles".

1... 2... 3... 4.

It's a success...

We, who don't like to be noticed

Glad we found these seats.

Shut up, you're causing a disturbance.

Breathe...

Looking for Marie-Louise.

Definitely, this is the day of the Chinese.

We're very late.

Good, it won't seem so long.

Marie-Louise, there on the left. As a man.

No, no, no. She doesn't have that haircut at all.

Do you recognise Marie-Louise? - Do you? Where is she? Where is she?

Marie-Louise!

My love and your love were born on the same day.

with a very short glance but which still charms you.

My love and your love say to each other in turn:

I like you, you like me, the rest is nothing.

But if our hearts sing some very kind words,

For us everything is enchanting, It's heaven.

It's nice to smile, always be smiling

but you have to remember to refresh yourself.

So during the interval, don't forget the refreshment stand.

See you later.

The raffle resumes in five minutes.

The show resumes in ten minutes...

with a smile!

Well, let's go. Not a minute to lose, it's already 6:30.

First we have to go and kiss Marie-Louise in the cloakroom.

Suze, hurry up.

It's a nice show, though. They're pretty good at defending themselves, aren't they?

You can follow them on tour.

Come on, hurry up or you know how you're going to be received at home.

Right, I didn't think of that. Hurry up, hurry up!

Just a little hello.

Sorry, Madam. We are looking for Ms. Guitard. We are family.

Ah yes, so backstage.

On the right, on top.

Excuse me, Madam. We are looking for Marie-Louise Guitard. We are family.

In the back dressing room, at the top of the stairs.

Germaine... What are you doing here?

That's a good one!

Come quickly with us, we're going home. It's already late.

I'm in no hurry to go home. No one is waiting for me.

Marie-Louise will take me home.

So are you coming, then? today or tomorrow?

Oh well...

Goodbye Germaine.

Well, then...

Don't mind us.

I can't believe it.

You'll never change.

My two other sisters and my brother-in-law.

Come on, cover yourself up. You'll catch a cold.

I'm used to it.

Hope you'll excuse me, I'm on now.

I''ll go straight on with another number.

Ladies, I would like to introduce my other two sisters and my brother-in-law.

Well done, ladies, you're really, really good.

You are very good and the audience is loving it.

You're a credit to your generation.

So, did you have a good Sunday?

Yes... Oh, fine. You know, I guess...

The usual.

So we are less imaginative than you.

Well, listen, you'll have to excuse us but now we really have to go.

It's time for "Microphone For Everyone".

Too bad, you'll miss the best part.

I won't insist, I know that I know you don't need to be held back.

Come on, hurry up otherwise you'll make yourself sick

and I don't want that on my conscience.

So Albert, still at the helm? - We do what we can.

Okay, so you go out that way, you're going to come down to the street.

You'll avoid all the villains.

- Are you taking good care of Germaine? - Yes, of course.

Sleep tight, don't worry.

Goodbye.

Open up, George.

Open it now.

It's me, Suzanne.

Come on, don't be silly. I know you're there.

Open the door.

It's me.

Come on, open it immediately. That's enough.

What are you doing with that crown on your head?

Poor man...

If you think you're spiritual...

Come and see.

I bought a cake.

Since you were late in coming, I went ahead.

Sit down...

If you think I'm hungry.

... and eat.

Anyway, considering the situation,

there is no way to refuse I'm the king

... and you the queen.

You're so stupid.
