Original subtitles

This is my cat.

His name's Rroû.

I'm going to tell you our story.

A story that how we grew up together.

Look at you! You were starved.

So, ssh!

Their mother hasn't come back for days now.

You think she might have abandoned them?

No! She never do that.

Look how hungry they are.

We have to take them.

C'mon.

There you go, kitties.

Meow, meow, meow.

Hey, there!

You were with your brothers and sisters?

Hear me, there's still a bit of milk left.

C'mon.

That's it. Don't be afraid.

Huh!

It's okay.

You're just a purring machine, aren't you?

Mhmm-hmm-mmm.

I think I will call you Rroû.

I like that name.

It's official, your name is Rroû.

Hi there, Rroû. My name is Clémence.

Hey, there sweetie.

Isabelle that's not at all what we agreed on.

Yes, it is. But as usual, you never listen.

What do you mean, I don't listen?

We talked about it yesterday.

Mom. Dad. I have to ask you something.

This isn't a good time, sweetie.

Whatever!

It's never a good time with you.

We talked about it yesterday.

No, no, no, Rroû.

Clémence! Clém!

Come here.

Where did you find it, sweetie?

In the attic.

They've lost their mother.

How do you know?

Because she hasn't come back in days now.

What do you mean "they", Cl.

There were a few of them.

Lucial took the others.

No, no, no, don't try to butter up your father,

little girl.

I see what you're doing.

- I named him Rroû. - You did, huh?

- So he's a boy? - I don't know.

- He could be a girl. - Ah!

All right, let's...

Let's see. Let's see. Let's see.

Well, I don't see anything, so she's a girl, little miss.

Well if it's a girl that's even worse.

Since she'll have a bunch of babies,

so it's a hard no.

I'll take care of her.

Can you please back me up here.

- If she wants a cat... - Thanks for your unconditional

support Fred, I appreciate it.

You're very welcome.

How to properly train a kitty.

So, cats can really test your patience.

Like children.

Everything they see as an object of curiosity.

So be warned, they are mischievous.

Fine!

The first rule you have to respect

is not to sleep on my bed.

- Got it? - Hmm.

Well...

I'll take that as a yes.

"Suddenly the unicorn impaled the evil garden gnome."

But he wasn't alone.

Behind him, there was an army of gnomes

under the spell of the witch riding dinosaur.

She alone had the power to annihilate all

the unicorns.

And, with them, the dreams of all children."

I see you, you know?

Alright, come on. You can come down here.

"Luckily, the rocker gnome,

that you pushed into the garbage before.

Drove off on his motorcycle and saved all the unicorns.

The end."

Good night, Rroû.

Oh hey, you!

Oh!

Rroû!

Did we get any mail yesterday?

Huh? Uh... I don't know.

Rroû! No!

Lock the door!

Rroû!

No, Rroû!

No!

Clém, you ready?

Hm-muah.

See you later.

- Come on. - Hurry, Clém.

Oh,.

Come here, you.

Come on, pretty girl.

You are staying here in the house today.

Unlike yesterday. Alright, good girl.

All right, now stay here.

That's it.

Don't you move now.

No, get back there,.

You're staying in the house today.

All right? That's it.

Good girl!

Subject is on the move.

You ready, Clém?

Copy that. On my way!

It's working. She's eating the kibble.

Cats are so smart.

No, I don't think eating kibble is a sign of genius.

Don't worry. You'll be fine, I promise.

This is gonna be interesting.

That cat's driving me crazy.

Would you lower your voice, Fred?

I can't take it either.

Oh, wonderful!

I'd puke too if I were her.

Don't worry, Dad, I'll clean it up.

And one more time.

Can you open the window, please?

Rroû...

We're here now.

It's okay.

Come on, wake up Rroû.

We're here.

Hey?

Why won't you wake up?

Rroû?

There's a problem, she won't wake up.

Really?

No, Rroû!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Come back, Rroû.

Looks like she fooled you this time, Clém. Huh?

I take it all back. I like that little beast.

Rroû, come back, you don't know the area.

Just wait five minutes. She'll come back.

Come on, Clém. Get your stuff inside.

Rroû!

Yoohoo! Come on, Rroû.

Rroû...

Rroû!

It's gonna be dark soon.

You won't be able to see. Rroû?

Come back now.

Oh boy, that's the witches' dog.

Oh boy, it's the witch.

She's sneaky, huh?

She's grown quite a bit, don't you think?

What? Cat got your tongue?

You forget how to say hi to your neighbor.

Hi there, Madam neighbor.

No, not Madam.

Madeleine.

And Rambo, won't say hi to him either?

Think he's got bad breath or what?

Well, you do slobber a lot there, bud.

You know what?

Never tell him to his face that he's got bad breath.

Because he is a weapon of mass destruction.

Rambo! Rambo!

The film? Never saw it?

Yeah, I guess maybe you're too young.

I better go because I have to...

Because why?

Huh?

This what you're looking for, huh?

Rroû!

It's not an object.

Mr. Lion king isn't so clever now, are you?

Her name is Rroû.

Rroû?

He looks pretty young, your little Rroû.

She's female.

You heat that, Rambo?

And this, this here, what's that?

A pair of castanets?

Who told you that it's a female?

My dad.

Well, if your dad told you, then it me true, hm.

Anyway, you tell your dad to get rid of that bell color.

That stupid thing will get snagged on everything out there.

But, she'll get lost.

He won't get lost. He's a cat.

And if he takes off, well he'll find a place

out there and make it his own.

Your little Rroû will never get lost.

Weird name for a cat.

A female that, be like calling you Rambeck.

Her name is Rroû, once and for all.

Her name is Rroû, once and for all.

She's a funny one, that one.

Seriously.

Uh, what are you doing here?

I said we're getting rid of this collar.

If you keep in here for 24 hours,

he'll sniff around and mark his territory.

He'll get used to it.

And will always come back like chickens.

Doesn't work with men now.

Yeah, have you, uh, have you made many of those trophies?

This isn't a trophy.

Art is not a competition.

So... why are you guys... Why are you guys here so early?

Well, we just wanted to take some extra time

to enjoy the place.

Yeah, and we have a bit of work to do around here.

- Before we um... - Before you what?

I'll tell you a bit later.

Hm?

I am warning you, Rambo.

I'll give you a war like you've never seen.

I didn't want a war, you drew first blood on me.

You're so stupid with that.

Come on, Rroû.

Oh, Clém.

We're just joking.

Oh look, how does she even live in there?

I'm scared.

But then my dad tells me that we're only afraid

of what we haven't seen, because it's the unknown.

From the first day, I always called her the witch.

And why?

Because she talks to her dog.

Mm?

But I just realized that I talk to you too.

Why do adults always say just wait until you're grown?

But now I know that I can make decisions on my own.

I can't wait until the day when I'm old enough to say,

today and forever more,

I'm not a child anymore.

Rroû!

It's not a big deal. It's only a cat door.

Now just concentrate, okay?

I'll explain it to you, one more time.

Number one, walk over to it.

Number two, you push on the door.

And number three, you go out.

It's easy, right?

I have to think of something else.

I think I have an idea.

Don't move!

All right. See how easy that was?

Come on, you try now.

Come on.

Come on Rroû, you can do it.

One, two, three.

Rroû, you hear me?

No, no, no, Rroû. Don't do that.

No!

No!

No!

No!

That's it, you're staying outside.

Rroû?

No, no. Stop! No.

Go away!

Get out of here, you wild animal.

Rroû?

No, Rroû! Rroûû, you all right?

You're gonna be okay.

Come on.

The punk witch ordered her dinosaur

to spew fire over the unicorn village.

Luckily for them, the dwarfs didn't hold a grudge.

They didn't hold a grudge at all.

Yeah right, but the witch still impaled the dwarfs.

Together they managed to save the unicorn village.

But...

You hear that?

They're not arguing tonight.

Nothing's gonna change that much for you.

You'll stay in the same school.

It's just... what happens when moms and dads

don't love each other anymore.

But you have nothing to do with it.

You're amazing honey.

And the love we both have for you,

will always be strong.

I promise.

Mom's right. We'll always be here for you.

Hm?

We love you.

Very much.

I don't understand.

We just had an awesome vacation at the cottage.

We laughed a lot.

I know we did, sweet heart.

I know.

As far as the cottage goes,

it'll be easier if we just sell it.

Where am I gonna sleep?

Well, you'll still have your room here.

And I just saw an apartment not far from here.

You'll have your own room there too.

But this can't be true. It isn't true.

It isn't true.

Do you have to go?

Yeah.

For real, you do?

For real, I do.

Okay, I've gotta go.

You're my big girl and I am so proud of you.

I don't wanna grow up.

If it hurts like this.

Come on, it'll be okay.

Rroû, I don't feel like playing.

All right, come on. Come on down.

Choose your weapon.

Which one will it be?

Okay, let's go.

Yes, yes, of course.

It's important to sign the papers.

And, uh, when did they wanna move in?

All right. Listen, we'll do our best.

Thanks! Bu-bye.

That was the agent. The cottage is sold.

So, we've got to empty it.

You sad?

I knew it.

And do you think he's sad?

Very!

Aren't you Rroû?

Do you think we could take him

so he could say goodbye to the house?

Yeah, it was bad the last time we brought him

I don't think it's a good idea.

I'd rather not.

Pretty please.

- Rroû? - Clém?

Come out, come out, wherever you are.

Listen, Clém! Go get some kibble

and I'll cook some out with it.

Yoo-hoo.

Okay, stop playing around, Clém.

Get me the kibble.

Rroû?

Mom, look!

What is it?

Clém, I don't have time for games.

What?

Oh!

You couldn't have told us you were there before, huh?

I guess we can go now, huh?

Mm-hm.

I can't let you out.

Thanks for coming tonight.

Neighbors need to help each other out.

Plus a good meal to top it .

- Hmm? No brainer. - Yeah, for sure.

It was really good.

Yeah, I see you there.

Don't even think about it,

and not because Rambo can't stop you.

Here.

- These new owners. - Mm-hmm?

I hope they're not British.

Oh no, don't worry.

Because they're everywhere.

They buy everything.

Soon we'll be driving on the left.

I'm not saying the left is a bad thing. It's fine.

Oh, ho, no please, no politics tonight.

Everything's political.

Everything's political, Rambo, and that's it.

I think he leans toward the right.

Why do you live alone in the forest?

I'm not alone, I got Rambo.

I just think that living here isn't... well it's...

It's what?

It isn't easy.

It isn't easy?

You think living in the country is hard,

but living in the city is a picnic?

In the city you can die all alone.

'cause there's no one to check on you.

At least here there are neighbors.

You don't die of hunger.

There are vegetable gardens.

Here you're not a number,

And you're not invisible either.

Mm.

Hey, you've got your own food, you know?

I'm better get going.

Well, thanks for everything.

Mm-hmm.

You can have this, but be careful with it.

I might want it back.

I'll have to find a place to put all of this back home.

Well, I'm outta here, Rambo needs to go.

I think I'm really gonna miss you city folk.

We'll see.

Good bye.

Yeah, well maybe we'll see you soon, Madeleine.

Rroû, Rroû, where are you?

Rroû, where are you?

Honey, I'm sorry, but we've gotta go now.

You've been calling him for an hour.

No, we've gotta find him.

But we've already looked all over,

and if he's in the forest, he'll be impossible to find.

But we can't just leave him here.

Okay, look, I'll ask Madeleine if she sees him,

to take care of him for us, all right?

No, I wanna find him right now.

Clém, get in the car!

Hello?

Yes.

Look, I'm sorry, but that'll be impossible.

Like I told you before, I'm not available this weekend.

Rroû?

Rroû, where are you?

Rroû?

Is that you?

Where's your mother?

Ah!

Rambo stay! Don't move.

You see what you made me do? Proud of yourself?

Clémence!

Clémence!

Clémence! Are you okay?

What the hell happened?

Madeleine saved my life.

Thank you, Madeleine.

Thanks? Say thanks to her, and then her babies too.

She's just a child!

I was looking for Rroû.

I know you were honey, I know.

It'll be okay, sweetheart. I promise it will.

I'm so sorry.

Madeleine, if you find him, could you call us please?

Why? So you can lock him up again?

I gotta deal with her now.

Come on...

Sorry, Madeleine.

I've gotta find Rroû.

I can feel.

He's all alone in the forest now.

There's nothing you can do, Clém!

It's what he wanted.

You know cats grow up really fast honey.

Hmm?

He's almost an adult now.

And it's his choice.

But, don't I have the right to choose too?

What is it that you want?

I want you and mom to get back together.

I love you, Dad.

Big hugs.

I love you too.

Sleep well.

What's all the rocket about?

What are you waiting for?

Go after the chicken eating vermin.

Rroû?

No, no, no, no, no. Come here. Come here.

No, don't run away. Rroû!

Yeah, look, I gotta tell you,

he's not the same cat anymore.

But you still tried to catch him though.

Yeah, well I tried, of course.

There's no way, he's gone wild.

Madeleine, it's her cat.

You don't understand, he's not the little kitten,

you give kisses to anymore.

He's no longer a domestic cat.

You have to leave him be, understand?

Okay, I won't say anything.

What do you mean, you won't say anything?

Ah, it's about work honey.

Someone isn't behaving well and...

You've gotta tell them.

How else will they know.

You've gotta tell the truth.

The same with kids,

you've gotta tell them the truth.

I don't know where you are.

But wherever it is, I hope you're having fun.

Dad told me that you're already an adult cat now.

Actually, I don't know if I'd wanna grow-up

as fast as you are.

I really don't.

I miss you a lot.

I'm not scared of the dark anymore.

Good night, Rroû.

Oh, look at that.

Nobody reads a sign around here!

It says right there, dumping is prohibited.

Makes me sick.

Come on, move it.

I'm not stopping for lunch here.

What?

Stop your growling. What is it? Huh?

Did you see St. Rita, the patron saint of dog treats?

No? What?

Rroû?

He's not dead.

Uh, I don't agree.

It's useless telling them.

Anyway, I told her I couldn't catch him.

What?

You want the kid to make a five hour drive,

just so she can sit there and watch her cat die.

Yes, he's gonna die.

Didn't you hear what the vet said?

He's not gonna make it, so...

Go on, I'm listening.

Tell me what you think. Make your point.

Oh yeah, I see what you're saying.

But if he's gonna die, Madeline,

why did you bother bringing him home?

Your questions are starting to piss me off.

Why are you doing this, Madeleine?

Why are you doing that, Madeleine?

You are not my father, okay?

So don't even try.

You could at least answer me when I talk to you.

You mut!

What?

You know very well, no one's out here.

Hey, stop trying to change the subject.

We were having a conversation, so come on,

let's go back inside.

You coming?

What is it? What are you seeing?

Oh no, you told them, didn't you?

Fool.

Hi.

My mom said you saw him.

Is that true?

No.

He's in the cabin, but there's nothing you can.

I'm telling you.

Smart move. Well done.

What good's it gonna do?

You took him to see the vet?

You think I put in the IV?

No, she actually came by.

So what did she say?

You really don't wanna know.

Anyway, it's not a vet he needs now.

It's a lot more than that.

Do you think we could bring him back home?

Are you crazy?

Don't you see what kind of condition he's in.

First, I don't think he's gonna survive.

And second, I don't think he wants to survive.

He will survive.

You and I need to talk.

I'm gonna show you something.

Your little pal here is a warrior.

All right?

He's tough little guy.

But now...

he's gone to the very, very, very, very end.

He's done now. Do you know what I mean?

We'll cure him.

We'll cure him, maybe.

But maybe not.

Now, you see this?

It's for Rambo.

In case he needs it to make his end peaceful.

- You wanna kill him? - No!

I don't wanna kill him, I don't want him to suffer.

That's all. It's a kind thing.

So in three days,

in three days, if his condition

hasn't changed, then it's not fair to keep him alive.

It's torture. That's called torture.

Plain and simple.

You want him to suffer? No.

You love him? Yes or no?

Yes.

Then I'm staying.

Will you be alright?

Do I have a choice in the matter?

Bet it'll be a nice change for you to have company.

Oh yeah, great company.

A company of dying animals, I can handle, I'm used to it.

But the company of crying children

is not my thing, I'll tell you that.

It's nobody's thing, believe me.

Well, um...

Look at the time, you hungry?

- Yeah. - Well, I am too, let's eat.

Come on!

Mm-hmm, that smells good.

Give it a taste.

What is it?

Ah, you'll see.

A surprise.

Mm, I don't eat meat.

You don't eat meat? What? Since when?

When did all this come about?

You some kind of a... A vegan all of a sudden,

are you?

Did something happen to bring this on? Huh?

Go on, eat it. Anyway, that's all there is.

It's this or nothing.

So..what do you think?

Mmm.-Hmm.

A bit tough.

Really?

- What is it? - One guess.

Hey, don't barf on the firewood.

You okay?

Here.

Wipe your face.

Take this, you'll catch cold.

You okay?

You don't seem like it.

You are really crazy.

I'm crazy?

You hear what she said? I'm crazy.

What happened to the little ones?

Well, the little guys are currently being reintegrated

into siding.

Two of them are at the UN.

One of them is studying medicine.

And the third one is still trying to find himself.

No, but seriously?

Well, seriously. I don't know why you're asking me that.

I don't know.

But it's okay, they were grown and they were strong.

They have a chance of making it.

That's the law of nature, see?

Right then.

You ready for bed?

There's some yogurt if you want. Come on.

You eat yogurt? Really?

Yeah, but don't hold that against me.

At least I make it myself.

Yeah, that's what I am worried about.

What are you trying to say?

I don't wanna eat it.

I don't wanna eat it.

I don't eat this. I don't eat that.

Not a bad giraffe.

It's not a giraffe.

Why don't you like children?

Why should I like children?

Who said that every one must like children?

Humans are humans, humans in general are mean.

I prefer animals.

- So why don't you like me? - Did I say I didn't like you?

You're paranoid, you are.

I don't like when people bug me, that's all.

Look.

Huh?

No.

Madam...

That's nice, did you do it?

- You think it's nice? - Yeah.

Well, I didn't do it.

Uh?

The one behind it, I did.

Uh..

You recognize him?

Yeah, it's really nice too.

No, see that one's nice. That one's ugly.

When you, uh, when you see them side by side

like that, it looks better.

Maybe we could try that too.

That wouldn't be bad either.

Yeah.

Here, if you want you can put it.

You see where that bit sticks out.

- Right here? - Yeah. There.

Rroû!

Everything's gonna be okay.

You're gonna make it.

It's gonna be okay. I'm here.

Looks like his girlfriend?

What do you think?

I don't want him to go.

Shouldn't it be up to him to decide if he wants to go?

But he won't survive all alone.

He's a city cat.

- Yeah. - You said that.

Yeah, well, I talk nonsense from time to time.

It's the spring and there'll be small rodents all over.

He'll be able to munch on, he'll manage on his own.

Huh, now he's gonna try and know down my door, right?

I don't want you to go.

You know one day you're gonna want to,

uh, to leave your parents.

To live your own life, like him.

Doesn't mean you don't love your parents.

That's life, it's just how it is.

And it's much better that way.

I love you too.

Is this what you really want?
