...la creme de la creme of the Sorbonne.

You will teach me, you will advise me...

Please, Christian.

Be patient with little Elsie...

be gentle.

Oh, the pain!

Oh, the joy!

"INTERNATIONAL COMIC ART EXHIBITION"

Excuse me.

I don't speak French well, but...

is that the Place de la Concorde?

Lady, I'm no tour guide. I am a taxi driver.

For 100 F, you can't get just anything you want!

"THE TEMPTATION OF FLAUBERT"

"COMIC ART EXHIBITION"

Hurry up! We'll never be ready!

We are not a gallery today, we are a giant comic book!

A giant comic book engulfed by gigantic comics!

I don't want room to breathe!

I want the eye to scream. Mercy!

It's already 3 o'clock.

And who are you?

No! Not Bretecher with Bilal.

No, and not Wolinski here!

Pull it together, closer, much closer!

Dear God, how'll we look if Zambo comes!

No, he's not in today. He will be tomorrow.

May I take a message? Who?

Yes, hold on.

Be right with you.

That's right, goodbye.

Professor Gauthier isn't in. Try tomorrow.

You made this appointment 5 days ago.

It's the third appointment Professor Gauthier's broken.

No problem; we'll schedule a fourth.

Call me back in 5 minutes.

What's a good time for you?

Can you guarantee me that the Professor won't break that one?

If he does, he'd be cancelling the cancellation.

You don't get it.

Professor Gauthier is out.

It'll be just a needle in a bottle of hay.

A haystack.

Yes, he'll be in tomorrow.

Professor...

Lionel, come see.

Incredible? This work? This style?

So crude, yet perversely geometric.

Not unlike the cats of Herrimann or Cliff Sterett.

The Beatles made us believe we could all play rock and roll...

and Wellman 25 years earlier...

made us believe we could all draw comics.

All my friends are invited to my place for drinks.

If you don't know where, you're not invited.

How are you?

Fine, fine.

Christian, can you believe it? I just woke up.

Where do you find such energy?

Passion is energy.

- See you later? - Right.

Next week.

Who with?

Just you and me.

- You follow the Party line. - There is no Party line.

I follow my conscience.

I would like to talk to you about your article in Le Monde.

Not now. I have a very important appointment.

- You promise ? - Yes, I promise.

You must knock before entering!

What are you doing in my study?

You don't belong here. Out! Out!

What is this?

Out! Out!

Go! Go!

You can explain later.

Go!

For two years I've struggled...

to prove that I'm not your daughter.

I walked all night. I searched my soul...

to convince myself that I'm not vulgar, not provincial...

that I'm not bourgeois.

I do not wear polyester.

I do not read comics.

I oppose everything you are.

I do not belong in Cleveland.

And Lena... Lena, that slut!

She is the one you choose to replace me.

You pay more attention to me here than you did at home.

Go home. You're not funny.

I can't see in my rear-view mirror, with you jumping about.

For 35 years I've driven a cab.

You said this hotel; here's your hotel.

Not my problem if you won't speak French.

I want my 50 francs.

You're not gonna run out on me!

Pay the fare!

Bambi, the Disney deer, derived from a story by Felix Salten...

His mother is shot by hunters... cowboys.

Never mind...

Wasn't there a drawing pad in the library?

How would I know? I'm not allowed in there.

But you sneak in and dust it!

You're not here for months. What am I to do?

Lionel, you revise your past more than the Communist Party.

I am at the university.

I take your course on Flaubert.

Why is it you come to see me only when you bring the American army?

Haven't we had enough cartoons?

A terrible nuisance to be the daughter of a great man!

You knew I spoke French.

Of course you speak French.

But how? Did you think I was French?

I assume, everyone speaks French.

Is it so bad to be an American?

I hate Americans.

Ah, I envy you. At my age hate gives one too many wrinkles.

His father would not let him dig the cave he wanted.

So he built himself this one

to hide in and read his picture-books and adventures.

I was never allowed in it.

What's this?

His cup. It shouldn't be in here.

It's a lovely cup! The workmanship...

You like his cup?

Didn't he love it?

Boy babies! He hated it!

Impossible.

You must help me with the masquerade.

I've every sort of mask...

and colored cloth, jewelry and furs. Come!

You talk to me...

No one... No one has ever...

Oh, not again, Christian.

Orson Welles spoke of the influence of Milton Caniff on Citizen Kane.

What's your hurry?

I must look after Joey.

His mistress is a fool... and his daughter...

His cartoons are stupid and so is he.

No, Joey is a genius.

A real genius, passé perhaps but authentic.

As for his impossible daughter!

These self-loathing Americans who play at being French...

they are defectors, traitors.

They should all be put on a plane

and sent back to Cleveland or New York.

Christian, come see how your fascist American behaves!

Good morning, Sir.

Going to be a nice day.

Looking for someone?

An American tourist. Do you speak French?

Sorry, I don't speak English. How about a croissant?

Are you an American?

He's English.

You speak English?

I have croissants and cakes.

He thinks he's an airplane.

Maybe he's on drugs.

No! He's lost! Let me try.

He's senile.

Don't be rude!

I've seen films. I can say...

It only takes a little intelligence.

"Thus we never live".

"...but we hope to live; and always disposing ourselves to be happy..."

"it is inevitable that we never become so."

- You know Pascal. - As well as I know Flaubert.

I'm very hungry.

What the...?

Child, girl.

I thank you for your hospitality, Madame Isabelle.

I've learned so much. But not quite what I expected.

I am an American...

and I need to be happy.

The French don't care that much about being happy.

So, I am going home to be happy.

Because I'm not happy here.

He deserves to be...

tranquil.

Have a good trip.

It's my first trip... to New York.

Mine, too.

But you are American.

Yes, but I have never lived in New York.

You're an artist.

No, I'm just a...

A cartoonist.

May I see your work?
