Dad... Mom... the housekeeper and I... Collection: Louis de Funès

Over the years we lived in Montmartre at the top of a...

...mountain, in a quiet neighborhood, without any story and drama.

Without gossip.

Sometimes musicians also came to play their violins.

Everyone could see through the window. First and foremost Mrs. Petit, the concierge.

In addition, a bachelor...

...then back another...

On the next floor, Mr Forges, he takes advantage of the fresh air.

On the third, Mrs. Ranier is making her carpet beautiful.

On the fourth, Mr. Kalommel beats his wife.

An elderly couple who never open their windows...

...the poor wretches. They ate so little that they were afraid of being blown away.

On the fifth we have daddy...

mom... the housekeeper... and me.

Everyone went to the window to throw money at the musician...

...we couldn't do that. It was too high.

Unless unintentionally.

It was the same with us every year...

Every morning when the alarm went off, Dad...

Rise!

He's quite a boy... - I heard him.

In your sleep.

Ah, finally. - Then came the gymnastics.

Boy, I don't hear you doing gymnastics.

Not too fast, not too soon.

In the kitchen, Marie-Louise laid out cards...

...to finding a suitable man.

Meanwhile she got lost in the tender music.

These old socks are dry just as the old-fashioned Archduchess would like.

In his youth my father failed with his pronunciation...

...since then he practiced his pronunciation. As they spoke in ancient times.

The ancient times... my father always said...

Put yourself in Demosthenes' place.

Demosthenes did not shave.

On the radio we kept hearing...

A thunderstorm breaking out in the north near Perpignan...

Mom said: - The clouds are beautiful.

And daddy said and answered:

You're right, I'll take an umbrella.

And then the correct hour came.

The time now is... 08:05...

Dad always read the newspaper to get the latest news.

Of course...

Hello mother. - Your father is in a bad mood.

Dad. - Good morning.

I would like to drop them in jail. - You are absolutely right.

We have the same opinion? - We are talking about the same thing.

Take it off.

Mom said we could serve ourselves, actually she was the one serving us.

She also provided everything...

And then she said...

Robert, stand up straight.

Above me... a portrait of my brother who passed away at the age of 4.

For my parents he was an example for me.

Unfortunately, I didn't have his abilities.

Your brother shouldn't have sugar. - It's time.

Hurry up!

Three hours of cross-questioning.

In?

My father was a science teacher in a school for girls.

Located in Sanctiestraat.

The institute is actually a... Christian school.

I did not follow in my father's footsteps.

I went a completely different path.

An interesting path.

I worked as an intern at a lawyer's office.

Because I had studied law.

I also kissed the most beautiful girls.

The men of the house sat my mother at her desk...

Marie-Louise heard her talking quietly.

"She had a provocative approach..."

"She absolutely wanted to come..."

"She had already signaled to the coach conductor."

My mother specialized in the English language.

She tried to translate Shakespeare and Dickens into her own novels.

Every year on All Saints' Day we went to the cemetery.

November 11th is Armistice Day. My father goes to a memorial service.

That was friendship for him.

There are holidays at the end of December.

They kept ringing the doorbell.

Marie-Louise kept opening the door.

Happy New Year... - And a Happy New Year.

A little something for the orphans...

The annual calendar of the post. Choose one, happy new year.

A little something for the children of our school.

By Marquise van Sévigné.

Because of the Duke...

This came from a smokers' association, he received this as an end-of-year gift.

My father doesn't smoke. - Where are we going to put that?

It wasn't December 24th like any other...

Marie-Louise was going to leave us.

She had met the love of her life.

She had a different thought about love.

It's New Year's for me too.

Where were we?

Old age under the eyes. - Yes, under the eyes...

...your letter... and much more...

Not here. - In the neck.

Not now, this evening. - Why this evening?

We wake up together. - I am fully awake.

You can't refuse, just look. - What's that?

A mistletoe ball.

Germaine, you are expected at the boss's.

This will never turn out well.

You know well enough that the boss is interested in Germaine.

He is not the only one.

Can I have a moment?

We'll go eat together, I have made a reservation.

I'm also going to give you a present.

You like stockings, don't you? - I don't know how to thank you.

You know it very well.

My apologies. The Chabondet file.

Thank you. - It's urgent.

Later. - And confidential.

Hello? The department.

Leave me alone for a moment, you too Germaine.

Hello, yes, that's me.

Perfect, I hear. - What else would I say?

Just say "no." - You taught me this.

Are you angry?

Laugh...

Hello Hello?

Hello Hello?

Come with me, Robert.

You wanted to talk about the Chabondet file?

Yes sir. - I'm opening Robert's file.

According to your report, I should not be allowed to plead the Chabondet dossier?

The children are being taken away. - "The children are being taken away."

The father is a good customer. - He's a scoundrel.

You can't be sentimental in such matters.

As for sentimentality... you can't take lessons in that.

As for the procedure...

...I have neither the time nor the desire to inform you about this.

I'm putting you out of work. - Are you firing me?

It will be the best for you.

Life is hard. - Yours, not mine.

Inside. - Life is a pleasant thing.

Anarchist. - Optimist, I will prove it.

A present from Santa Claus for you, Mrs. Mariette.

Extra fine, size 2 and a gift from the boss.

Give him a kiss, it will do him good.

A few hours later, life looked bleaker.

It was 15,000 francs a month so we'll figure something out.

What shall I say at home?

Today is your lucky day. - As you say yourself.

That brings bad luck. - I suppose so.

Can I have a light? - Yes.

Fortunately, we are not superstitious. - Indeed.

Damn it.

And now a black cat too. - This is mine, sir.

What do you mean, that's yours? - He fled into the street.

He ran away? - Yes.

And you went after it. - Yes.

And I got lost.

And you're lost. Don't be afraid, because you're with me now.

Where do you live? - I don't know.

And your mom? - I don't know.

So you don't know that either, everything will be fine.

Is this girl yours? - No.

No? Thanks anyway.

Ladies, gentlemen, is this girl yours? - Not at all.

And not this boat either? - Is she yours?

Fool.

Do you happen to know whose baby this is? - No, sir.

No? I'll put you down for a moment, come with me.

Here I suppose, how much do I owe you?

Sylvie, what are you doing there now?

You see, she's eating a cake. - Who let you do that?

From me.

Who asked you to give this cake? - She was alone on the street with her cat.

If you want to take them off, no problem for me. Just watch her better.

Please forgive me, I was so worried.

I had to do some shopping and left them with the concierge.

- We live here. - Ah, yes, me too.

Allow me to accompany you. Thank you.

Here she lived, in the same house where I live.

Mrs. Rummy rented out a small room for a small

price but without water and without gas, nor heating.

We've never met before.

- You live via the normal staircase. - Yes.

I live on the sixth floor via the service stairs.

We live on the fifth floor and there is no elevator.

- Did you find her again? - Yes, thanks sir.

Mr. Robert, I was not feeling well at all, luckily you were there.

I have to get going now.

- Okay, see you again. - Goodbye.

- See you, my name is Sylvie. - Your name is Sylvie?

It was a pleasure, I hope I didn't bore you

must save myself from seeing you again.

- See you later. - See you later.

- Tell me... - What?

- See you again. - Good evening.

It was already late, Mom and Dad had long since finished eating.

It was certainly not the moment to tell my father that I no longer have a job.

Robert, what are we getting now? Is that all you eat? Is there anything?

- I'll eat later. - That's all you have to say?

- What should I say? - You're both the same.

Luckily I'm still here.

- The butcher was talking about you. - The butcher?

Yes, she wanted to bring him in during the occupation.

- She knows you and she finds you modest. - That's okay.

She would like you to give Latin lessons to her son.

- That's convenient. - You don't have time.

- That's not true, she pays well, doesn't she? - Do you need money?

- No. - I wonder if he has time.

With his internship at the lawyer's office, his doctorate that he has to prepare.

- I'll work twice as hard. - I bet you're going out tonight, right?

It is New Year's Eve.

Just listen.

It's the neighbors from the sixth grade who are partying.

The concierge spoke to me just now.

She rents an apartment at the emergency exit

on the sixth floor, to a young

woman with a child with little money. The apartment has no gas or heating.

- This is outrageous. - Thinking about it drives me crazy.

- He has a good heart. - Don't tell him too much.

I need Christmas accessories to decorate the Christmas tree.

- Why do you need that? - It's for a friend.

- It's all in a basket. - What key is it?

It's this one, I'll go with you for a moment, but yes.

It's way too cold up there, you'll still get sick.

- It's room 13. - That brings luck.

The sixth floor.

So we get ready and break... Sorry I thought you were someone else.

Excuse me, it's not warm, is it?

Excuse me.

- It smells good in here, what are you making? - Fish, Gaston is behind the oysters.

Say, who is this man?

- I'm looking for room 13. - Most likely next to room 12.

Thanks for the information, see you later.

Who is this man?

Santa Claus.

Sylvie, what are you doing there, you'll catch another cold.

It's me again. You probably think I'm doing it for the sake of it.

I have an end of year party at friends tomorrow so I came to pick up some accessories.

- She probably heard me. - We live right next door.

I was at a neighbor's so I left the door ajar for her.

She didn't call but she came to me. And now that you're here.

Let's have a look, look a little bear.

He only has one earpiece left, but he can definitely hear us.

A star, here you can have this. Look at that, a bone.

- There's only one, but that doesn't matter. - And suddenly the landscape changes.

And there she goes with bigger boots, still accompanied by the Sandman.

You tied this up so you can be sure she won't run away.

- Yes. - I heard you're a student.

How do you know? I was a student, I prepared English.

- Right now? - I've stopped.

- Why? - It's a whole story.

- Tell me anyway. - It's because of my sister.

I have a picture of my brother, but yeah, that's a different matter.

- And it is she who... - She raised me.

My parents died in a bombing raid during the war.

She met a boy but then the little one came

and suddenly he was gone. Not by a bombing.

My sister died in childbirth, what should I do with the little one?

- I'm raising her now. - It's wonderful.

Not really, if you read that in a book you will definitely find it stupid.

But, it is the truth.

So those are my studies, in short, a stay-at-home mom.

- And you? - I wasn't a good student.

It could have been possible. But today I have a hard time.

Heavy?

I was an intern for a lawyer but I was allowed to leave.

- Why then? - Differences of opinion.

- And what will you do now? - I will teach.

I would like to do this too, if I could find it.

- I'll look for you. - Really? - Yes.

Sorry to bother you, I have you

necessary, room 8 needs to be prepared.

I'll come right away, the room is from our neighbor, they are nice people.

- She's sleeping. I'm going to leave the door open. - Otherwise I'll stay with her, otherwise...

- What kind of man is he anyway? - I don't know.

- Can he eat with us? - With what perhaps? I'm hungry.

- How is he? - He's okay.

- Good day. Reinforcements. - Good evening.

- What was your name again? - Robert Langlois.

- The neighbor on the fifth floor. - Good evening. - Good evening.

- Are your parents renting the room? - No.

All right, I prefer it this way. I'm Gaston.

- I work on this. - He's a lawyer.

If you had a job there, you knew what to do.

They only defend people with money.

- Not all of them. - I wanted to invite you...

- but it's rather little. - You're expected somewhere else.

What do you mean?

You just came to get Christmas decorations, right?

- Right, yes. - It will be for another time. - I hope for soon then...

I hope so too.

In the meantime, you can have another drink.

Thank you.

- To your health. - To yours.

- A Merry Christmas. - To you too.

That took quite a while, didn't you find it?

Yes.

- What are you doing? - I'm preparing Christmas dinner.

- It certainly smells nice. - I can believe that.

- Should I help you? - No, help your father.

- Okay. - Wait a minute...

I have hidden a present for your father in the dining room.

What would your mother prefer, the little boats or a little church?

Take your pick.

I'll take glasses.

- What's that? - Would you please leave that alone...

- ...a surprise for your mother. - It's ready. - Give it to me.

- But no. - I do concern myself with it.

Can't that boy ever hang up his clothes?

Leave it, it's a gift.

- What are you doing now? You're covering for 3? - Can I celebrate with you?

That's sweet, it's been a long time since we celebrated this together.

What is it?

The next morning I was really looking forward to seeing her again.

It was the first week of the year, it was

a good time to give a bouquet of flowers.

- Mother... these are for you. - How sweet.

It is not wise, during the holidays they are extremely expensive.

It pleases you, doesn't it?

- Well, what are you doing? - Nothing, I just wanted to...

- I have to go to the doctor. - Why?

I thought I already got that from you.

- But, no. - But, yes.

- Where are you going? - I'm going to get a dictionary.

- Do you want tea? - No.

- Are you taking your coat? - Yes, it's cold upstairs.

- Are you looking for someone? She left. - Left?

- Forever? - No, she's gone to the country.

Along with the little one and the cat for the holidays, should I pass on something?

No, thank you.

- Beautiful flowers. - What do you mean, flowers?

If I knew who these belong to, I would...

He had the right to be ill-tempered, behind

He spent his hours writing letters as an additional income.

Dad was also writing letters at the same time.

He wrote wishes to colleagues... and I wrote to cousins ​​and an uncle.

"My best wishes for the New Year, Madam Director."

In the kitchen, the new housekeeper also wrote to her family.

I'm not going to stay here long.

- My best wishes. - A happy and healthy new year.

Aren't you ready yet? It's quite a pigsty.

- Those stamps don't stick. - Or it sticks too much.

I just swallow them.

Paste further. Here is a letter from a certain Sylvie.

Maybe it's a card from Catherine.

- Good news? - Yes, good news.

Please hurry up or we'll be late.

What weather. For once I would like to have the stamp machine.

Still not on the last letters? It takes a while with you guys.

It was a time to kiss each other properly.

The whole family was present in this small room.

The nieces had all grown up.

Give Catherine a kiss, said Aunt Sophie.

Catherine... Hoh, I gave her a kiss anyway... because she has a beautiful first name.

Mom gave my uncle the smoking service that my dad had received.

- A smoking service, thank you. - He gave a wet kiss.

My mother took a stamp, an envelope.

You can still post this.

I received a note from my uncle.

- Here. - I got a lecture.

A small thing, you will do honor to the family.

- How are you? - Well...

Where was I? I was going to my new job.

The butcher and his son had played an important role in my life.

Mr. Robert, come by later, I have something set aside for you.

- You mustn't do that, ma'am. - You're welcome.

She is a very friendly but her husband stood

in the store with a large kitchen knife staring at me.

Their son was a good boy, he ate a lot of sweets and knew no Latin.

To the Lord, to the Lord, to the Lord.

It's okay, you just have to think of "babaus".

- Baba? - Ha, baba.

In het meervoud: babai, baba au rhum, baba Isse, baba Isse.

- Baba au rhum? - That's it.

- I'll be there with tea. - Already?

He must not tire himself, Augustin go to your room, leave us alone.

Raise!

I don't want him to be like my husband, always tired.

Are you serious?

- If only you knew what I long for. - He's really making progress.

- Your son. - Are you satisfied?

- I wouldn't want it any other way. - You are very kind.

- This is normal. - A beautiful painting.

If I can do you a favor, please sit down.

- Yes, I want to ask you something. - Anything you want.

Augstin should take some additional training in English.

- Ah. - To this day...

- ...in the shops. - Can you give him that?

- Not enough but I know someone. - Another young man?

She is a young woman. Very capable.

- Is she beautiful, that young woman? - I haven't noticed that yet.

Very classy dressed, she would make a good teacher for your son.

You look exactly like a model, it suits you perfectly.

Those shoes don't go together.

Would you like to try these on? They are the only ones I have left.

You are kind.

- And all that to impress. - Yes.

- It's about Robert, right? - If he's really interested...

I ran into him in the hallway one evening with a bouquet of flowers.

- Your son has changed. - Yes, he speaks exactly with angels.

He would be better off exercising his constitutional rights.

- How are you? - Good morning.

- Good morning. - He must be in love.

I told my best friend Léon.

Love is like ghosts, you always talk about them but you don't see them.

- I saw them. - And they? - I hope so.

You're doing well, are your parents aware?

- Are you crazy, no. - Why are you keeping that quiet?

I am in a difficult situation. Pay attention, there is someone there.

- Good day. - Good day, sir.

- Just keep going. - We'll do that.

- We are looking for questions. - Give an example.

- On marriage. - Rule 319.

- Personal relations between spouses. - Leon, do you know what I call you?

- Leon Alibi, I shouldn't say it. - Why, sir?

For years, every time Robert goes out or does something stupid then

are you in the neighborhood, your alibi is probably Robert.

- Sir, I assure you... - Do you ever give advice to your father?

- Me? Yes. - Of course, you say "day" and "salut".

We have deaf-mute sons, we don't know what they are doing.

- They might be afraid of you. - Robert, afraid of me, come on.

- You're running away because of me? - No, sir.

- He has an appointment. - I'm not asking you anything.

- But yes, you want me to say something. - Goodbye, sir.

Goodbye, Alibi.

- A charming boy Léon, a good heart. - Probably too much.

He met a great girl. Student

without money and a little one to support her.

- Does he want to get married? - He's thinking about it.

- He's too naive. - And why?

She said that the child is her cousin.

He wants to marry her anyway.

He will ruin his life and his career as well.

Can I continue working?

Say... come over here...

- How do you like your mother? - As usual.

No, no, she's not the same anymore, she keeps talking to herself.

- Listen... - Nice of you to think of me...

- She's coughing. - But no, come with me.

- She's coughing, that's all. - She's hiding something from me.

What are you doing there, fishwives?

The day I was going to introduce Catherine, the

butcher set her sights on something else.

And by sentences I mean her head, she's had too much meat.

- Aren't you too bored? - I've been waiting for your son for half an hour.

It's my fault, I asked him if he wanted to leave.

I wanted to talk to you alone for a moment but I was busy in the store.

- Work comes first. - Here, have a port.

I dropped my Latin dictionary.

I have a surprise for you. I'm going to learn Latin.

- It is not possible. - It is fun to learn.

I want to help you with this, you must be busy

have with the mothers of your students.

This is known among young teachers.

The mothers of my students are gods.

I know what you mean.

You expected me, but I couldn't.

We need you in the store, there are people.

- Your husband is not satisfied. - That is not my husband.

- He's looking for me. - Are you coming?

- The master of the dish. - You are when you lose the disc.

I went to run away from this house, but I saw...

Catherine was waiting downstairs, I opened the window and called them upstairs.

Catherine! I let her into the apartment where

the butcher sang serenades to her lovers.

The radio was on low and the walkie-talkie was there.

Waiting to be drunk.

The sea under the influence of a storm.

That's the very latest Westminster.

And those are the birds, they have sore throats.

- Poor thing, Catherine is waiting outside. - I'll give her a sign that she can come.

That was a love story that is different from what you are used to.

She looked at me questioningly.

Almost all the way down.

- She says to me... - I think I would be happy with you.

Do not deceive this trust!

If you want that.

My son no longer needs lessons.

You are right, those lessons are indeed no longer necessary.

That same evening I came home earlier than usual.

Will you come sit with me, my dear?

Listen to me carefully... If mom knew for sure, your dad would be back.

- You scared the hell out of me. - What's all this?

Don't look like that, come in.

- I'm going on stage. - On stage?

I am rehearsing for a play that I will perform in with my friend Madeleine.

- You know Madeleine, right? - Madeleine? Oh yeah, that one over there...

Yes. She wanted to go to the conservatory, I actually

also. She is married to an industrialist and I am your father.

We pick up the thread again, her husband thinks so by the way

Also nice to see her in a play.

- They are naive roles... cuckolds. - A cuckold?

For a change. See, you have a mother who is an actress.

- Are you sick? - No, you are sick, poor boy.

I play the role of Marguerite Gauthier, "la dame aux camélias".

- You know it, don't you? - Yes, I do.

Okay, then I'll leave. But then I'll have to drop dead.

You have to play a dead man? Of course you didn't tell dad.

Do you say everything you do, then? I'm not doing anything wrong here

with it. He would say that it would damage his career.

So he expects me to be a top performer and a

medal. Luckily I signed up.

Yes, it is good that you are registered. On the sixth

the floor of the apartment makes communication easier.

- Do you hear that? - No.

What do you read there? "The lady with the camellias".

You better go to the doctor. I would like to know who is knocking there all the time.

- What's that now? - That's the new housekeeper.

This was the third time since the previous housekeeper left.

She came from the scene in Ferrières, it turns out.

- You were startled. I didn't care. - You should just pay a little more attention.

And at the same time...

- I'm not feeling well. - He pulled himself up and...

We'll buy others.

It was the end of the month so daddy started counting,

If you haven't seen Dad counting yet, you haven't seen anything yet.

There were 12 tin boxes in front of him, he mistook them for the army.

Each can had its own label: gas,

electricity, food and drink, vacation, etc.

Each box contained a small note and bank notes

and every month father took stock.

Nowadays everything is going wrong, every year I can't put any money in the pot for

our holiday home but I don't know if we will ever be able to build it.

Is there a light on in the front room?

- I think so. - You think so...

- Do you have a 100 franc piece with you? - A coin?

Give it to me. Go open the window.

Now go open that window.

See what you do when you don't turn off the lights.

- I didn't expect 340 francs. - And you still owe me 100 francs.

- What are you playing? - The wheel of fortune.

- You cough quite a bit. - Your cough is nice.

You should not gamble with your health. The box of the

health care is still full but don't take advantage of it.

I want to know what the money from food and drinks is spent on.

This one is easy, I'll show you tomorrow.

The next morning was a Sunday morning.

There's your father.

I only have fifteen minutes to eat.

There was a by-election at the time and of course Dad was there too.

What is all this going on here?

You wanted to know where the money went, right?

- And what is that? - A nice interim living room vest.

Paulette, are you bringing the food? Sir is in a hurry.

Dad was grumbling because my mother and I weren't

agreed on the candidates for the elections.

And the housekeeper wasn't even registered.

She had asked for a raise.

794 Francs for a roast.

Then you should vote to make life cheaper.

They don't care, this morning only 29 showed up to vote.

Besides, you didn't come to vote!

- I don't want your candidate. - Neither do I, but he probably does.

You benefit from getting up later

the future belongs to those who get up early.

- The working class, then. - You make me laugh.

You're not going to start again, are you? Come, we'll start eating, come.

Has voted.

- Number 540. - Mrs. Simonne d'Angel.

Has voted.

At the polling station, Mom and Dad talked about Catherine for the first time.

- Excuse me. - You may go first.

Some people say hello and others don't say hello at all.

Make yourself recognizable.

Mr. Henri Ogué.

Has voted.

- Hello young man, is everything okay? - Hello sir, everything is fine.

- Number 324. - Mr. Robert Langlois.

Has voted.

- You're not on the list. - That's right, I've been registered for 2 months...

in the population register. They gave me this piece of paper.

It's legal. We live in the same building by the way.

- Ah, I didn't even know that. - Madame Catherine Liseray.

Has voted.

What a charming lady.

Good day.

- Number 539. - Mrs. Gabrielle Langlois.

- Nice to meet you. - You want to know my age.

- You look young. - Very friendly.

It doesn't stop me from voting for someone else.

Has voted.

Dad's candidate had gotten 14 votes that same evening.

Mine is 175 and mom's candidate is 121.

You guys don't look happy. Robert, straighten up.

I wish I knew who that is.

- I'd like to know that too. - Are you going out?

- I'm going to Leon. - Yes, Leon Alibi.

That boy is a bad example. What about his girlfriend?

He is going to marry her.

- Which way are you going? - Through the emergency exit.

Then I can take the garbage bags downstairs.

It's good to have a secret. Unfortunately, you can't keep the secret for long.

That evening my friend Léon came over with his girlfriend.

I'll be down with him in two minutes.

- Hello, sir. - Are you here for Robert? - Yes.

- I'm coming to see what he's doing. - That's very wise. Come in.

Go into the living room.

Go on inside.

Please sit down.

Just sit down.

Tonight Robert is not free. He has gone to work with you.

Ah yes, now I remember, I had completely forgotten.

- You've thought of everything. - Yes.

- And you're getting married? - Did Robert tell you about it?

- You hear that, don't you? - What do you think?

- You're going to do something stupid. - Me?

She may be charming but to get married now...

- I'll marry Alice, but no... - What did Robert tell us then?

Did Robert say I'm going to marry Alice?

- That's about it. - Your son is lying to us and his friend.

Sir, your son works very hard and he must have a reason.

That must be because it works.

He tutors now that he no longer works for that lawyer.

What are you saying? He doesn't work for that lawyer anymore?

It's already 4am in the morning...

I thought he was there.

- You'll suffer from cold. - That won't stop me.

A reference to Demosthenes.

I've had enough, I'm going to sleep.

- You have the courage to sleep? - Not the courage, but the sleep.

It's something the youth of today. A young man attacks a collector...

Murders on all sides.

Look at this, a 25 year old boy, Robert's age, steals cars.

You've read it four times already.

- Listen. - Yeah, that's probably him.

And again through the emergency exit. What does he think, that I don't hear it?

You have to stay calm.

Stand on your toes, young man, you'll make it.

Robert! Let me go!

Robert! Robert!

He knew immediately that it wasn't true.

Give me that stick over there. Give me that stick!

Give it quickly...

Do you want help?

The next morning no one said anything, Dad had a cold.

It burned his mouth.

This resulted in papers being put under doors.

Life must be taken seriously.

I'm not smart, my son isn't smart... Is he even my son?

- Of course. - Do you have anything else to say?

No.

What do you want to do?

To sleep.

In the kitchen, the new housekeeper had already resigned.

I'm out of here, ma'am. It's way too serious here, I'm just

to have some fun. Before that I worked for a comedian.

2 years later the tin boxes returned to the table, as they do every year.

Dad opened a thirteenth box and took a lozenge.

And began...

I can in unforeseen circumstances

playing my part, fun is not one of them.

Holiday is a shame for health and we will certainly never have a holiday home.

- Listen, I'm going to make one last attempt. - Don't do that...

Leave me alone! I'll get your permit in order

make and you will register at the office.

And you will settle here.

We'll see if you're still able to do anything.

You will become a great lawyer, you have charm, you

you are an actor and you have it all because of me.

You must understand your father.

Look at him, just like a young man.

It's been 30 years since I met your father

in Paris, we still wave to each other.

It was in 1920 that we met. He

was a winner and I fell in love instantly.

I got to know him in Paris. I knew

that he loved me but he was shy.

We went to the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame, to the tour Saint Jacques.

All for nothing, he decided after he had been to the Eiffel Tower.

We have a beautiful view of Paris, it is

exactly as if you see gold glittering in the distance.

He has given me all this.

He had a friend in the city council, he thought he was an important

was going to get a position in a high school, but you know your father.

Well, today only the tin boxes are important to him.

Why am I telling you this now?

The very first day of the opening of my...

...office, the housekeeper cleaned my name tag.

Very very soft...

My desk... everything is fine. A final rehearsal.

Sir, you have before you an advisor... and a friend...

- It's a woman. - Why not?

No vest, no hat... it's for a divorce.

Okay, let me in.

- What's this... - Hello, teacher.

No, not there.

- I wanted to surprise you. - Yes, already a first customer.

She's a young lady, it seems it's about a divorce.

You would never receive your customers like this, would you?

I have to go now. I have a new client.

- Fine! - See you tonight.

I will talk to President Lamotte about it and we will see

or whether there is a possibility for the rule of July 12, 1884...

- A divorce? - The opposite.

- What was it then? - I'm sworn to secrecy, Mom.

A new customer.

Come, come, quickly, quickly.

- I want to speak to the lawyer. - Is it interesting enough?

Mind your manners.

I'm reading a book that the boss translated.

A client comes to see a lawyer and suddenly...

- A gentleman dressed completely in black. - It must be for inheritance tax.

I just want to talk to my lawyer.

Sir, you have before you an advisor and a friend.

- Congratulations, confrere. - Excuse me?

I am Master Pilat, I am a member of the council.

Nice to meet you.

As you may know, the Council of the Order is still conducting a

small survey into the facilities of new confreres.

What is this? Oh, an office toilet. Next to the room where you work?

I can't recommend that to you, and that there...

- That's really not possible. - That's a soft seat.

A seat, but no, that's your bed. That's completely

against the rules, no bed, no soft seats.

And let's not even mention the reception, your secretary is rather curious.

Sorry to disturb you, I'm the mother.

- I was just saying to my young colleague. - Yes, I heard it.

- Very strange. - Where is he supposed to sleep then?

- Wherever he wants, ma'am. - His intentions are good, aren't they?

But some customers don't.

I have an idea, why don't you sleep in the sixth? Room 13. What do you think?

Madam, it doesn't matter to me.

It was a mass migration, of course Dad had to make a plan, it was that simple.

It's simple, we'll have to move your bed to the sixth. And in the

instead, your mother's cupboard will serve as a filing cabinet.

- What are you doing with my vegetables? - The potatoes are Robert's bed.

- And the onion is your cupboard. - And the radishes?

- The radishes are us. - Very interesting.

My room will be multifunctional.

Beware of my closet because I'm attached to it.

Yeah, don't worry.

The cabinet was actually not strong enough.

We didn't know how to move them.

- Dad had a saying... - One side is weaker than the other.

- We're going to dismantle the door. - Easy... easy...

Stop, will you stop it!

- Look over there, look over there... - Oh yeah, excuse me.

You must learn to pay attention! Yes yes, go there, daddy...

I'll try to lift him.

- Did I hurt you? - Of course!

We'll just try it differently.

- We'll try to lift that. - Very carefully, carefully.

- What are you doing now? - I push. - But no.

- You mustn't push. - Let it come.

- Calm down. - That's right.

They ring the bell.

Our neighbor, Mr. Calomel, came to have a look.

- Hello, Mr. Calomel. - I just came to look at that sound.

Ah, you're moving. I'm going to help you, I know

everything from, I will help you. It will go very fast.

There are people who ask a moving company for such a small job.

- We'll figure it out ourselves. - Absolutely.

- Ah, sir, are you okay? - Are you okay?

That will be easy, so move the closet over there and the bed over there.

It's the other way around, the bed over there and the closet over there.

Yeah, okay, so... the bed... over there... and the closet over there...

Excuse me. You haven't done any preparations yet.

We didn't have time, we had other things on our minds.

That doesn't matter.

Wait, listen... That's right, and now...

- Move aside. - Dad, move aside.

- That will work. - Are you sure? - Yes, of course, you see.

- We can even get through with several. - Look at that, look at that.

All right, young man, you stand here and leave the door open.

- Your sir... - Langlois.

It is best to position yourself here.

Okay, listen carefully, I'm coming with the cupboard, I'm pushing it over here.

When the cabinet passes you... you are standing at the

side, you help me push the cabinet forward.

And you on the other side same principle. Okay, wait a minute, okay.

There we go.

I wait quietly and daddy on the other side.

- He's here, he's here! - Calomel pushes...

Attention, on my phone now!

And it couldn't get past.

- Are you going to help? - It's stuck.

I can’t control it. I can’t handle it.

Wait, I'm thinking. I have to think first, just a minute.

- Say something! - We can't just stand here like this.

- What is he doing? - He says he has to think.

Think? He has to do it quickly because we still have work to do.

Say something! You don't care you

I can read a book, but I can't do anything here.

- I'm here, I found it. - What's he doing?

- He came with a saw. - What's he going to do with it?

- I'll help you, it'll be quick. - It's a closet of my wife!

She definitely won't see it.

Wait, I'll see you inside.

What are you guys doing?

- Where might you be? - Here!

- Where is that then? - Well, here.

- I don't see you. - I'm here.

- Where then? - Here.

- But where is here? - I'm here!

Where?

Ah, there you are.

What's all going on here?

We are free.

- Come out, sir... - Langlois.

Yes, Mr. Langlois. Excuse me.

You should have warned me, then I would have gone on leave for a few days.

- You women don't understand anything. - It will be easier before bed.

Young man, show me the way.

- My beautiful closet. - We didn't give up.

- Let's do it, it'll be quick. - Okay, then.

- The door has closed. - That will work.

- We'll lift him up. - And lift that trade.

- It comes against it. - That won't work.

Just put him back down.

Up high, up high, quick, come on, quick.

- It still doesn't work. - Unbelievable.

We just turn it around.

Now it will go fast. You see, now it goes by itself.

Now it works.

I am now standing on the first step.

- Hold on tight. - Carry on.

Guard.

I wanted to help them with the painting.

So I ended up on the sixth floor, room 13, and I really couldn't complain.

From above I discovered Paris but also a new universe.

A whole new world that lives, no worries about housing or wages.

Gaston and his wife whom I had met earlier the day before Christmas.

The printer employee who works at night.

The official with the envelopes and his three children.

A shy North African car washer.

A woman who can leave her apartment at any time

be placed, he works for the French railways.

Colette a typist.

And Denise, loud cry from the market.

And after the adults, the little people. Who went to school.

But there was… there was definitely Catherine too.

Our two rooms were next to each other and could be opened with the same key.

Of course, she's not there again.

Your Honor, Gentlemen of the Jury...

The defendant sitting before you...

The gentleman without beauty... how nice.

Defended by my opponent and former mentor...

- Take off this dress. - I was just going to say the same thing.

- Close your eyes. - Is that okay?

Yeah, fine. Give your other hand. Don't look...

- You're not looking, are you? - No.

- Robert, I didn't ask that. - I know, but I want to.

- Only if you want. - And what about your father?

Tonight I will confess everything.

- Unfortunately, daddy was in a bad mood. - Everything goes wrong.

- Say daddy... - There you are at last, you have to work.

- My statement? - Yes, for the taxes.

And there we both sat, working as usual.

Family situation, married: no.

Widower: No.

Divorced: no.

Single... I have to tell you something.

I think the single tax is scandalous, so

I have decided to stop paying this.

I met a girl, she works as a teacher, she obviously doesn't have

a lot of money but our relationship is good so we will get married as soon as possible.

It will help me to do this job and succeed as a lawyer, what do you think?

- 57593. - What?

What do you mean, "what"... that's what I have to pay in taxes this year, isn't it enough?

Oh, yes.

- What exactly were you going to say? - Never mind.

In the meantime, my decision has been made: I'm leaving for Africa.

- What are you going to do there? - Missionary.

- And me? - You too, missionary.

Your problems will not change if you stay there.

You should create a customer base.

You think it's that easy?

You could get a nice name on this floor.

- Those people shouldn't pay me. - In the meantime, I have an idea.

- Are you feeling okay? - Do you want to know or not?

What do you propose?

If I now get hired as a housekeeper for your parents,

many students do this to pay for their studies.

- Completely off the wall. - Not really.

- There's no question of it. - Okay, okay...

- Robert, you make business cards, right? - Yes.

- Give me about fifty of them. - That many?

Very good, this is just one, give me 50 more business cards.

- What are you going to do with it? - I'm going to bring you customers.

The next day, Leon kept his promise.

I gotta go guys, if you see anything anywhere, that is: a

an incident, a fight, a discussion... then you give such a business card.

I'll be handing out more on the sixth, see you later.

And my friends are spreading the business cards in Paris.

- Your cow head doesn't say anything. - Does he have to say "mama"?

Who do you think you are?

- You're cheating. - No, sir.

- Yes, sir. - No, sir.

- I saw it with my own eyes. - Excuse me.

- 58. - You're not getting off, sir. - Why shouldn't I get off?

You secretly picked up that note.

- What are you trying to say? - I have the solution for both of you.

Now it's enough. It's been going on long enough.

Do you think I'm not tired of it maybe? You don't pay any attention to me anymore.

- The next morning. - Robert, your father is in a hurry.

I found a new housekeeper.

- You must treat her like any other. - You may serve the food, we are here.

The appetizer.

Let me introduce you. It was Catherine, wasn't it? This is my husband.

- We know each other, don't we? - Yes.

At the polling station, remember?

She is a student, she is going to get her English license

and for the time being she will come to work for us as a housekeeper.

This is my son. She lives in the same block on the sixth.

- This is not possible. I want wine. - Yes, sir.

You should be friendlier, isn't she charming?

She lives on the sixth floor and you've never noticed her.

You need a working-class woman from the Latin Quarter.

- Where are you going? - I'm going to take an aspirin.

Catherine is a gem.

Mommy falls for her... Daddy falls for her...

It smells nice in here.

What are we going to eat?

This is Burgundian beef.

- The intellectuals in the kitchen. - I brought you kitchen gloves.

I wouldn't want you to hurt your hands.

- What book do you have there? - Edouard de Pomiane.

The good food code.

That's too much, just concentrate on your studies.

Study, my little one, study.

Catherine saw her reflection on the back of a cooking pot.

Catherine's plan paid off.

Yaser that Jurassic Cretaceous in end of Tertiary period and in Celles in Vigo sun.

- Pliocene wood. - That's right.

As daddy said, “the more this girl studies the more charming she becomes.”

She also conquered my mother.

How do you explain the following: "with the marinade shadow".

- To make a sailor row. - To make a man seasick.

- Thank you Catherine. - I checked the conquests.

- Aren't you going out? - No.

- I didn't expect that. - Yes, I have to work.

But, Catherine also has to work, the exams are approaching.

So Mom did the ironing and I made the vegetables pretty.

- Say, Mom, this one is just not right. - Dad. - You have to be careful!

And in the living room Catherine worked.

One evening after dinner, Mom showed the family album to Catherine.

Look here, in his bath.

That's his cousin: Romorantin.

Those are the grandparents... That's Robert when he was 10 years old.

That's Robert too. And we were on leave there.

And that is Mr. Martel, he had seduced me at that time.

- Did Mr. Martel seduce you? - Absolutely.

If I had married him I would have had a nice quote.

Then I would be a widow at this moment. And that's what you are as a soldier.

Look at this, how beautiful I was.

And that's at our wedding. It rained all day. Everyone had an umbrella.

And our honeymoon to Fontainebleau, do you remember?

It was almost spring.

Mom was doing her spring cleaning, she started to get rid of all the summer clothes.

sort and provided Catherine with a comedy in her own way.

That's a white pair of pants from Robert. He's still

always very beautiful but she won't like it.

- What do you mean, "she"? - Well, Claudine.

- Claudine? - His fiancée.

She is friendly but too snob for me. They know

each other for a long time, they have even worked together.

She has a beautiful voice.

She is beautiful, very polite and she has a lot of money.

- What's wrong? - Nothing.

- When would they get married? - Before July 14th.

I would have preferred a girl like you.

But hey, men are men. He's madly in love.

- What's wrong now? - My apologies.

- You love him! - Yes.

- Is he in love with you? - No, because he loves Claudine.

I have to confess something to you, there is no Claudine, never has been.

I wanted to hear the truth from your own mouth.

I'm a bad actress.

No, I want to apologize.

By the way, Robert wanted to, so I'm here as a housekeeper

started to get your approval.

- And the approval of the gentleman. - It is all right with me.

I think my husband will accept it.

Good morning!

Good morning Catherine. This is a gift for Easter.

The eggs, the chicken and the chicks, be careful.

What do you have hanging on your coat? Turn around.

- April Fools joke and no chocolate. - If I knew who it was then...

Stop it quickly. It's just a joke. Luckily you have another chicken with you.

I don't know what I have, I feel so young and so generous, it must be

spring will be the one that takes care of that. I am already looking forward to celebrating together.

Mom was right, Catherine was on the top shelf with our dad.

Dad was unrecognizable.

The white moon shines in the forest on every branch, a voice comes from under the row...

Oh, beloved.

He had Verlaine's poems on his bedside table.

And he bought flowers.

- Good morning my love. - It's been a while, how sweet of you.

Now you have a clear conscience.

You should have brought flowers for Catherine too, she loves flowers.

- I did that too. - What are you waiting for?

A man is stupid.

Dad had a secret, but Mom had a secret too.

The amateur performance of "La dame aux camélias" was approaching.

In the room where it would take place they were already hard

working on installing the chairs and lighting.

They had to roll up the usual carpets.

And the ladies wrote the invitations.

The mail has arrived.

- This is fun. - What?

They invite us to a performance at their home.

- At their home? - Yes, "La dame aux camelias".

- I prefer the lady from Maxime's. - Yes, of course.

- Played only by amateurs. - I suppose so.

When I used to attend a performance, I used to say, "For whom the snakes were on

their heads making a hissing sound

"when I made it", everyone laughed at my joke.

Yes, of course, but there are also amateurs with talent. Certainly and

I'm sure the women have talent, when you see them you will be amazed.

"La dame aux camelias", you say...

To be honest, I don't care.

- Don't you want to go see it? - I'm sure of it.

By the way, I'm not free because I have an appointment

in the Sorbonne to give a speech.

About exotic flowers. For example, about

the Japanese Camellia from the Theaceae family.

And if I were to join, wouldn't you come too?

You're not going to make a fool of yourself in front of the audience, are you?

And at university, young ladies would treat me like Mr. Media.

- No, I guess not. - Okay, then...

If that's the case, I'll go alone.

Then I'll come home very late.

Robert can come with you, right? He's coming

practically not outside anymore, it will do him good.

The day had arrived, mom and I went to

the play and daddy at his conference...

Your coat.

At the very last moment a migraine. But a really serious migraine.

What's wrong? Didn't you see my gloves?

- I have a lot on my mind. - Mom was excited and didn't have a migraine.

What do you think of my red lipstick? If you feel better come join us.

Go on now, you'll be late.

It was as if he wanted us gone quickly.

Poor daddy, he was now alone with his migraine.

And of course Catherine.

Catherine had prepared chamomile tea for him, which has a wonderful effect

had an effect on him. Miraculously, the headache suddenly disappeared.

Things are going much better already, it must be spring.

Yes, we have all submitted to the great cycles of nature.

Spring, “the beautiful renewal” that the poets sang.

The performances on stage, the pollen that counts the roses.

An editable law against which our reason and morality rebel, but

which they will accept because there is an hour when fate will come.

Yeah, it's getting late, now that you're out of pain

You can still go to your conference with your head on, right?

No, I'm not going. Sit down for a moment.

You may have noticed that I've been acting a bit strange

lately. Between sadness and joy.

- It's your liver. - Your presence has changed everyone.

- I did my best to work. - I mean the soul of the house.

- I want you to understand me. - I want you to understand too.

- And that you help me. - With all my strength, Catherine.

You and your wife have become my real family.

Yes, of course.

I can talk to you like my own father, right?

- Yes. - You actually already know my whole life story.

- Except for one thing. - One thing?

- I'm in love. - In love?

On a young man.

A young man...

What is it with this young man? Is he not in love?

- Yes, I do. - Then why do you need me?

It's not that simple. He still lives with his parents and he's finishing his studies.

- And we have no money. - So, long story.

I also have to take care of my niece Sylvie.

- You guys are nice, aren't you? - The money is missing.

Do you think an endowment will bring luck?

- No, his parents are very strict. - Because they are not informed.

- That's right. - Then why don't you say it yet?

I'll come back to this later, imagine yourself in my place...

And that pickle doesn't have the decency to marry you?

- What's his name? - I'll tell you.

- It's Robert. - Yes, it's Robert.

How did you know? What's up now?

Mom told me to call, the play is a triumph.

What should I do with this information?

You may be interested, Mom plays Marguerite Gauthier.

- What? - I told you, Mom plays Gauthier.

The first part is just over and it's phenomenal,

everyone is applauding, you really have to come.

- Come down now. - What's all this?

Did you know about it?

Yes, but the lady didn't dare tell you.

Your wife is so charming, so lively, so young.

Yes, that is true.

It is probably wonderful to have a great love and love each other

to love, and to continue to love each other forever in tenderness and friendship.

- Yes. - Go on, you'll please her.

Marguerite Gauthier.

It feels good after being with her for such a long time.

Yes, we are happy.

We do indeed have lovers who are original, but not for us as they say.

We are the first in their self-esteem.

But the last in their esteem.

We have friends we can give advice to...

- It's her husband. - What did you say?

- It's her husband... - Whose?

From the man of Gabrielle Langlois.

You can't tell anyone, I met a man.

He has something special.

He might die from my impressions.

I met this man at the Duke's, old age does not apply to me.

My soul has other obligations, we have met...

You young boy, fortunately...

I had gone completely crazy, I built an entire future with your love.

I dreamed about the purity campaign, it reminded me of my childhood...

We all had a wonderful childhood.

It was asking the impossible, one word from your mouth proved it to me.

You wanted to know everything.

- You know everything. - You know everything.

Do you want me to break up with you?

If luck comes to us, then we can save ourselves.

No Marguerite, no.

My dream will come true.

- I promise you. - Let's not think.

Let's not think, we are young, we love each other.

- Let's walk. - Let's walk.

We both know the words are far too violent.

- Remind me, who I am and how I am. - You are an angel.

- And I love you. - Oh, no.

- Madam? - What is it?

A letter has arrived.

I didn't expect that. Who's it from?

- From the Count. - Should I answer?

- Yes, ma'am. - I won't answer.

And now we're taking a break to give the actors some breathing space.

and the spectators can join the buffet.

- It was more or less good. - I lost something.

My congratulations sir, your wife was beautiful.

You're blushing, sir.

What a shame that your son could not attend his mother's triumph.

A little boy?

Mrs. Langlois told me earlier, during the

rehearsals that she had a son in high school.

Can I please join you at the buffet?

Thank you sir.

Do you want to see your wife?

Madam, I really enjoyed your performance.

Thank you.

I came with criticism at first... but I'm completely moved by it.

I just don't say anything.

Nothing! Nothing...

- Excuse me, sir. - Nothing.

Come on in.

Come in, excuse us for a moment.

- So? - ​​What else can I say?

You haven't seen the last of it yet, when I die.

Don't be afraid, I will fall.

- What's wrong with you? - The migraine is coming back.

Please sit down. I have to put on another dress now.

It's sweet that you came after all.

- Catherine persuaded me. - She's a good girl.

- I had a long talk with her. - About what?

About her, her life...

She told me everything.

That's beautiful. Can you help me for a moment?

- What do you mean by "beautiful". - You know everything now, don't you?

- Yes. - I prefer it this way.

- Did you agree? - Agree?

- Before their marriage. - Their marriage?

-Whose wedding? -Who do you think?

- Robert's marriage? - Robert's, of course.

- Once again my congratulations. - The dirty bitch.

- With the housekeeper. - My compliments.

- Yes, excuse us for a moment. - They are rehearsing.

- Rehearsing? - But yes, rehearsing.

- So you knew about it. - I thought so, yes.

It's a big day for you! Give me a kiss, if it's not too much to ask.

You must be glad. Go back to your seats because the break will be over soon.

- I'm gone. - Fernand, you don't do that to me!

- What does he have? - Migraine.

I'm going to get something for you.

You three are just laughing at me behind my back!

And she knew you were going to star in "La dame aux camélias"...

and you who had kept everything quiet to me about Robert.

I stood there like an idiot.

She lied to me, she took advantage of my kindness.

I had bought household gloves for her.

- And flowers... - Yes, that's right.

- And that I was ready... - You were ready for everything!

What are you insinuating?

- Here you are. - I had taken a drink at the buffet...

- Are you okay? - You should be ashamed of yourselves!

- Your mother is an adventurer. - It begins.

For you it begins and for me it is over.

He doesn't like it?

The next morning it was deathly quiet.

Dad slept on the couch, he had books

read and wrote much of the night.

In mother's room, in the center of the room, hung Marguerite's clothes

Gauthier and in a vase a large bouquet of flowers from the night before.

- Mom made breakfast. - I've already reheated it three times.

Dad didn't answer, he just stood there brooding over the events.

And your coffee?

A sandwich?

- You have a cold? - I'm not playing Marguerite Gauthier.

You are stubborn!

- He just left. - Yeah I know, I heard the door.

- Are you hungry? - No.

You shouldn't hold it against him, he holds authority in high regard.

He's making himself known, because the only one who's mean here is him.

He certainly is.

No.

- Are you leaving? - Yes.

- Is she angry? - No, she's gone to the countryside.

She is at her cousin's.

Tell her she's charming and that everything will be okay.

- Yeah. - We'll see, huh?

- Who's that now? A customer? - I have enough of them as it is.

I can't just open the door like that? And the living room isn't in order.

- I'll go and open the door. - It's clear to us, isn't it?

We need a new housekeeper.

- Oh, master, unexpectedly. - You come at an inopportune moment.

- I'm not here as a customer but as a friend. - I'm in a huge hurry.

You probably can't forgive me yet, but I

I brought a leg of lamb for the sly fox that you are.

Thank you but now is not the time because I have to go.

Don't cry, mom, I'll bring you a delicious leg of lamb.

It is not for you that I weep, it is because of your father.

He wrote a letter and he left it here in the open.

- A letter? - Yes.

It's addressed to me. I want to apologize because I ruined your life.

I was so often incomprehensibly authoritarian towards everyone, hardened by my

as a police officer I want to maintain order

preserve and restore and punish the perpetrators.

I want to express my regret for not believing you in

connection with your theatre career and the successes you achieved.

See how sweet he is.

A small middle-class bourgeois girl, a simple mother of

a family and I who are about to stand in the way of Robert's happiness.

And what else?

And further? He did not write further.

He won't continue with it, I'm going to look him up.

- I'll talk to him. - Robert?

- Yes? - Tell him there's a leg of lamb.

He loves that.

In the institute, in the new wing.

- Where can I find Mr. Langlois? - We've just come from there.

- He sent us outside. - Why?

- For want of restraint. - What have you done?

I stood at the back of the class and I rolled marbles to the front.

And you?

I was humming.

You can hear him from here.

- I thought he had authority? - We don't.

- I like to see him get angry. - Go sit in your own place.

- Do you do that with every teacher? - Not in front of the examiner.

- Profit. - Who is Monique?

What do you actually want to tell Mr. Langlois?

Good things.

Who could have guessed that about our father?

Condemned! It's not just bees that will give us honey.

Shut up!

I can't understand you when my back is turned to you.

Mr. Langlois's lab. No entry.

You go back to your place.

Miss, come forward.

- Give me your hand. - Write it down.

- I can't do it. - Sir, we can't read anything.

- It's the chalk. - No, sir.

No sir, it's not the chalk.

Sir, she said it's not chalk.

- We don't say things like that, sir. - Miss, can you

- Sit a little decently! - I'm too hot.

- Sir, I have a lot on my mind. - She has a lot on her mind, sir.

- Sir, she has a lot on her mind. - It still doesn't write.

Go back to your seat.

Do you want me to leave? Do you want that?

Just say so, I'll notify the director in advance.

good day

I am not here to teach you and I was not sent by anyone.

That's just my motivation, hello Adolf.

Very well found, the sabotage of the chalk.

I know that trick too, your sabotage was done with vinegar.

Your humming is also well done.

I think it's quite cowardly because it's anonymous and then those marbles...

It's an old trick but it does have its effect.

Our teachers also suffered with us.

We killed him, killed him!

He died while he was teaching. It has left us

grabbed when we found him lying there on the ground.

All white. Years passed but the image still remains.

I can already read it from your faces, what

he's sitting there saying... That's my job.

So far I have only defended alcoholics and contested parking tickets.

I have never advocated for a deceased person

teacher, this is exactly like a court of law.

You are the jury, a huge jury.

That bust over there is the president and here is our Adolf the Advocate General.

And here is the accused.

You made him this way.

To be completely honest, I'm not reassured. One woman is only going to be 30?

One more beautiful than the other...

But the most beautiful woman in the world doesn't know what she can give.

You are going to give your hearts to the accused.

Yes your heart, because you have a heart.

The man you are making fun of is your father, yes your father.

After one year, you all became family.

A confused family.

Who doesn't always agree, so, he's your father.

And suddenly it was my father too. Imagine: young...

Like the boy you're thinking about.

Like a woman, as you are going to become.

And children, whom you will have.

And hope that you have.

So, the quirks, the anger, the weaknesses…

Demosthenes.

You'll love it.

And shy, sensitive...

Of course we shouldn't let it show.

You should never show how you feel to your children.

But you, you can do that.

So don't kill him, give him love.

You probably think I'm crazy today.

If you see Father Langlois tomorrow, I'm sure he'll be your friend.

It's time.

Go home.

You know, daddy... mommy said there's a leg of lamb for dinner.

But I still had to conquer one person.

In my opinion, this was the most important thing for the ending of this story.

A very important person...

- Do you remember Santa Claus? - Yes.

Of course, there are my parents.

Santa Claus's parents.
