THE HOUSE IN THE WOODS

See, men are going back.

We have it easy here.

How did you dodge it?

They need good mechanics
for their planes.

- And you?
- Thanks to my mum.

She works at the War Ministry.

- What does she do?
- Cleaning lady.

Well, well, guys.

12 points in 3 hours.

After a game like this,
these should quench your thirst.

You serve the small shops
behind the frontline though.

What are you doing here, Pierrot?

Finishing everybody's drinks as ever?

Go and see your mother over there.

It's quite funny.

Put it on top
if you've caught a cold.

- Yes, in metal.
- That's funny now.

- Makes you cry.
- Makes you warm too.

Gotta be done.

- Did you listen carefully?
- Yes, mum, don't worry.

I'll think of you over there.
And it won't last forever.

Please, don't worry, don't cry.
I'll be back.

Don't cry, mum.
I'll be back.

We don't all meet our end there.

And it will be over one day.
You should not worry like this.

- Please, Mum.
- I need courage.

Be brave!

Finish your coffee,
y&ou're just worrying for nowt.

Don't move.

Come on.

Mum, Goodbye.

See you next time.

Serge, you filthy dog.
Call that a clean glass?

Want me to kick your butt?

Don't see how.

- With your iron?
- Yeah, I'll show you.

And how do you like that?

Consider yourself
paid then, my friend.

Clean this, you.

Clean this, I've said.

Clean this.

And quick.

L'Action Fran�aise?
For the Marquis, right?

- I'll leave it here.
- No, No.

What did you put in my pocket?
Give me the money.

- I left it here.
- No, give it to me.

- It's here.
- You liar.

- I gave you 5 cents.
- And the rest?

And the rest?

Here's 20 cents.
The paper is 25 cents.

You'll let the Marquis know
it's 30 cents from now on.

- Bye
- Yes, Bye.

You're a real young minion!

Hurry up!

- Mr le Marquis?
- Yes?

By the gap on the far end wall,
I saw a litter.

Judging by the footprints,
young boars, 40 to 50 kilos.

7 or 8 of them fell
in a black thorn bush.

They'll be stuck for a while.

For the Marquis?

- Thank you. What is your name?
- Herv�.

You came with your friend

- to the castle the other day?
- Yes.

- Which one is the leader?
- The two of us.

Michel is older but as foolish.
As bad as one another.

Go home and say goodbye.

Goodbye Herv�.
Goodbye Michel.

We can't rest easily with those two,
never know what they're gonna do next.

How did this Herv� came about?

His mother dropped him one Sunday.

She left and was never seen again.

His dad is at the front.

She probably ran away.

He's been here 3 years
and he's well taken care of.

Every Sunday,
he waits for his mum at the station.

So let's go and check this litter.

Good timing,
I have a letter for the woods.

I'm not gonna go there with...

I'm not lazy but...

I'm not going there on this thing.

I'm gonna get...
all bogged down.

I'm not gonna...
Here.

Here, for the woods.

They're not yours
but you should not crumple them.

I'm the one working
for the post office.

I'm gonna get told off
because of this.

That's not nice to me.

Nasty!

A little fag will do me good.

Poor kid.

Why doesn't he get letters?

Between two shots,
his dad could write to him.

That would make him happy.

"It seemed all the blood
had withdrawn from his face.

"No words

"came out from his bloodless

"and clenched lips.
Satanas..."

- What's wrong, Herv�?
- These are letters I haven't read.

Did you mess them up like this?

Michel, Albert, come here!
There are letters.

Here.

- You crumpled them.
- You want a punch in the face?

Look, Albert.
It's from your mum.

Mummy will bring me
a birthday present.

Good for you, now go and play.
I wanna go on reading.

I will buy you
a birthday present, promise.

Yes, we'll have a nice party.

- What does she say?
- I'll tell you with my fists.

Look, the Tommy's postcard.

"I believe in immortal France,

"in our all-mighty Joffre,
creator of victory."

What you looking at?

What's up, Marcel?

- What's up, kids?
- You seen the Tommy's postcard?

Leave me alone.

Come, let's go and see the magpie.

"He said with his voice..."

Mum sent me the Tommy's postcard.

"Tommy's prayer, trench prayer.

"I believe
in the God of guns and ammo,

"In our Lady of the trenches,

"in Saint Rosie, our bayonet,

"our guardian angels,
our Lebel rifle and our saintly 75."

See, I taught it to tap twice.

I've got it.

It's big.
It almost fly away

It won't fly way, we cut her wings.

- Let me see.
- What you gonna do?

- Pacha, good dog.
- That kid is crazy.

You're sick!

- Get in there, Birdie.
- Jojo, tap twice.

Leave it, I'll take her.
Jojo, tap twice.

- Are you asleep?
- No.

- You've left your sentry box?
- Can't you hear the ruckus?

It's the young lieutenant
celebrating his first victory.

- He beat a Kraut.
- A sour Kraut?

I hope they remember us,
I could do with a drink.

Yes, to digest the Kraut.

I'm going to bed.

- Lucky you.
- To each its turn.

Good night.

- You're gonna get caught.
- Why?

Hypocrite, give me a light.

Did you hear this?

- Stop!
- Who's there?

Stop or I will shoot.

You got him.

That moron shot my ass!

- It's Albert.
- You're in pain?

- Where does it hurt.
- Here for fuck sake.

You should not have shot.

- You did this?
- This was him.

- Good shot!
- He did not mean to.

Did not mean to?
You did not get it!

- Come with us, we'll take you.
- Easy!

- It hurts.
- It's not serious, nothing bad.

- Grab him slowly.
- I've got you, Cottin.

- Bring him home.
- Go and get a doctor.

- What happened, Cottin?
- We heard some noise and...

- We... warmed...
- You warned him.

Then I shot.
With some 8.

- It just hit a nerve, that's it.
- Yes, nothing serious.

All this mess for tin cans.

- You know what it's like.
- Unbelievable. Goodbye.

Good luck.

His helmet.

The gun.

Here, take it.

What's wrong?
Albert?

It hurts like you would not believe.

- What's wrong?
- Here, my backside.

- What happened?
- I won't be able to sit down again.

- What happened?
- Don't push me!

Easy.

What happened?

He was on his round
and took a shot in the butt.

But how could this happen?

The Captain has asked for an inquiry,
don't worry.

- Good night, Ma'am.
- Goodbye and thank you.

Come in, Doctor.

Look.

Pants off and bring me a frying pan.

The police is here early.

We'd have come earlier,
but we can't investigate at night.

- Can we talk to Albert?
- He's still asleep.

You can't wake him up,
he needs a good rest.

He's not the only one
we have to speak to.

- Fancy a cup of coffee?
- Never on duty.

- Just a drop?
- Come on, sit down.

Old Albert,

I've heard he strayed out the path.

He's an officer of the law
like we are.

- I can't believe it.
- You must not believe hearsay.

Here.

- Milk?
- No, thank you.

Don't move, I'm only passing through.

- Come in, Albert is expecting you.
- I though he was asleep.

- Have you been here long?
- For an hour.

Allow me to go first, I'm in a rush.

I'll wait.

- Mr le Marquis...
- Hurry up, Police is waiting.

- Mar�chal explained?
- So you're Father Christmas now?

No, but lil' Herv�, he's a poor kid.

He never gets any parcel.

You did not admit to anything?

- I thought I'd wait for you.
- You did right.

- Tell me everything quick.
- So...

A little salty water
and it will pass.

So, I was in the officer's mess,
and I took some biscuits.

Because...

Officer's biscuits are better
than soldier's ones.

Hey, you did not only pick up
biscuits.

Well, no,
as they were dry biscuits...

I also took jam.

Listen carefully,
whatever they ask, answer no.

- Got it, Mr le Marquis.
- Understand?

Well, gentlemen,

I must admit I am very moved
by what I just heard

I am pleased to say
that I am proud of my gamekeeper.

- Proud?
- But of course.

Here's a man too old
to go to the front

and who still risks his life
to chase a thief.

What? So, he's not the thief?

Of course not.
First impression can be deceitful.

If we found stolen goods on him,

it's because he got them back.

And if he did not catch the thief,

it's because some fool
shot at him in the dark.

- Cottin is such an idiot.
- Your words, my thoughts.

You should get
his version of the facts right now.

Take it easy, do not tire him.

You can count on us.

Good bye.

May Justice be done, Jeanne.

I don't know what we'd have done
without you.

Be brave, Jeanne.

Come in.

Mrs Latour.

Are you in, Mrs Latour?

He's going to look for us everywhere.

You know, trains...

How are you doing?
First class is too expensive.

I just received a sweet letter
from B�bert.

- How is he?
- Very well, thank you.

And your boy?
Anyway, we'll see them right now.

Mummy! Mummy!

Wait, I'll come round.

Come here quick!

How are you?

- Here.
- Thanks, mum.

Take this, It's heavy.

One.
And two.

How was your week?

- Let's go, Marcel.
- How is your kid?

Hello.
You're off to the coffee shop?

You're looking good.

Ah, here's Herv�.

Hello, Mr Mahu.

No horses for our soldiers,
but some for the city ladies.

And using the Marquis cart,
whilst I'm walking back to the station

to pick up drinks
for all those bloody fancy people!

Yes, my little man,
I've got news from Daddy.

He's well.
He will be on leave soon.

There's a little note
for you in the letter.

Look.

"Son, your mum wrote

"that you are keeping well
with those nice people.

"I hope you behave

"and that you go easy
on your little friends.

"I love you very very much.
Daddy."

Yes, that's it.

Come on, greedy, share
with your friends or you'll be sick.

- Herv�, want some?
- No, I don't.

- Here.
- No, I don't want any.

Come on, take it.

Not this all over again.

No fighting again.
Pick up these chocolates.

You're sick.

- And what if they were yours?
- Me, I don't get on my high horse.

- Hello!
- Hello.

Oh, you should not have.

- How was the trip?
- I nearly missed my train.

Tell me, lil' Herv�
is as crazy as before.

Sunday is a hard day for him,
especially when you are here.

Always the same.

I usually like kids,
but I don't like him.

I wonder what will become
of this little rascal.

- Come over here.
- What's wrong with you?

Nothing, just a bad back.

Hello, Ma'am.
What a lovely hat!

It would really suit you.

A real city girl.
You should come to Paris.

I don't like the city,
it's suffocating.

Always looking fresh, Marguerite.

Me and my bad complexion...

- Dinner is ready.
- Good, I am starving.

Michel, come and sit
next to your mum.

Come on, next to mummy.

- Really, you would not come?
- No, I couldn't beathe!

Herv�!

Don't eat too much chocolate
or you'll be sick like last time.

Herv�! Come here!

I'm not hungry.

- We're having stew, you like it?
- I'm starving.

How do you keep yourself so thin?

My nerves.
Real exercise.

- Herv�, we are eating.
- I'm not hungry.

I'm not sitting down, I really can't.

Poor Albert.

- Pass me your plate.
- Your plate, Mr Albert.

What do you want?

B�bert, recognise him?

That's your rabbit Kiki we're eating.

You should be ashamed
to tell him such things.

Don't say this, he'll cry again.

Michel.

Then, I don't know the words.

Someone is coming.

- Albert, are these your friends?
- Yes, from the garrison.

They pollute our woods
with these cars.

It scares all the animals, Ma'am.

- But you don't stop progress.
- Progress?

In Paris, no more wildlife,
no birds, nothing.

You can't have everything.

Not a good time, they have guests.

- Who's that?
- The Parisian ladies, I guess.

They'd run all over us!

You've got guests,
we don't wanna disturb.

You're always welcome.

These are the children's mothers:
Mrs Latour and Mrs Pouilly.

We came to get news from our wounded.

- Someone got wounded?
- You haven't heard?

You're having diner with a hero.

He saved the airfield from an attack.

OK, it's no laughing matter.

Can't we know?

One of these idiots mistook him
for a prowler and shot him.

That kind of people are given guns?

You'll see what happens
if given a gun.

I hope it will never happen.

Bierrot, when my brother goes hunting,
he doesn't shoot his dog.

He's a real hunter,
only shoots his friends.

Here are a few presents
from the captain.

How sweet of him!

Chocolate and some Champagne.

Let's drink to myself!

- Have a seat.
- Thank you, very kind.

I can't sit down.

Charming.
Mr Albert, open it.

Careful!

Mr Albert!

What are you doing here?

Nicolas would like a word
with Mr le Marquis.

Let him in.

What is it, Nicolas?

I came here to tell you
I've caught the gamekeeper's son.

He was prowling in the park.

Go and get him.

What are you doing here?
Don't you know these are wild areas?

If you go back there,
you could break a leg.

Come with me to Mr le Marquis.

It's you, what are you doing out
at this time on a Sunday?

Just wandering about.

- Albert knows you're here?
- No.

Haven't you lunched?
Why?

I don't like
Albert and Michel's mums.

- You're going to get told off.
- No.

Would you care to have lunch with me?

Yes.

Limousin, set a plate for our guest.

Go and sit down.

Don't be shy.

Go on, sit.

It's so big.
I'd be scared to live here.

Yes, it's large.

And recently, mostly empty.

Take your napkin.

Serve him, Limousin.

He's too shy.

You'll tell me about this.
My cook's special.

- What is it?
- Veal fillet Marengo.

You like it?

Not at my mum's.
She doesn't eat these.

Too expensive.

Have a taste then!

- Good?
- Yes.

Limousin, pour some wine
for our guest.

You can also have some bread.

Easy, Limousin.

Cheers.

Are you full?

- No.
- You have to eat.

Thank you.

- Do you want a cigar?
- No, thank you.

Why didn't we stay there?
Why did we come here?

Because this is where I read.

Nothing more relaxing as...

- You think it's weird?
- Yes.

- Who's that over there?
- It was my dad.

And my mum.

My father was a very brave man.

She was only poison to him.

- He was very much in love.
- Do you have kids?

No.

Let's talk about you,
how do you spend your days?

I wander in the countryside.
I play.

And I fish.

I go and find birds nests.

- Do you like the countryside?
- Yes.

- And Paris?
- I don't remember.

Don't you think Mother Jeanne
is going to worry?

- Maybe you should go home.
- No.

Well, I am sending you home.

Goodbye, Mr le Marquis.

Herv�.

You can come back when you want.

- End of my day and...
- You're flat?

Yep, I am tired and have a flat tyre.

If roads were fixed,
there wouldn't be any problem.

And with these wheels.
Tell me about progress.

Look at mine.

Chartier doesn't have this problem,
his wheels are in steel.

I finish my day with a flat tyre.

And who gets the problems?
Me.

I have letters for you by the way.

Mrs Picard,
Mrs Picard and Mrs Picard.

Chartier, steel wheels, no problem.

He rides and he destroys roads.

I get a flat tyre
and have to fix my wheels.

- As always. What are you doing?
- I'm reading it.

You're not allowed, it's forbidden.
Did you open the mail?

It's forbidden,
not your name on there!

This is a mail violation.

In the postal rulebook,
it says it's forbidden

to open mail that is
not addressed to you.

What's wrong with you?
Do you realise what you did?

I am going to get punished.

Forbidden to read mail
not addressed to you.

"Dear Jeanne and dear Albert,

"I am writing from the rear,
where our company is at rest.

"I got your letter,

"I hope the new turnover of leaves
will allow me

"to soon see my people
and kiss my little Herv�..."

You see, this is for me!

"who must have grown so much."
Have you grown? Really?

"I bumped into H�lene,
a girl I loved when I was 20

"and who married another fellow.

"Today, she's a war widow and I..."

OK, that's not for me.
That's for you, take it.

"Today, she's a war widow.

"And I have not heard
from Herv�'s mother for 4 years.

"So I will marry H�lene,
when the was is over.

"I am asking you to prepare
Herv� for the news."

Who made Heaven and Earth?

God made Heaven and Earth.

Very good.

- Can one see God?
- No.

- Why is that?
- Because He is invisible.

One can't see Him on earth,
so where will one see Him?

In Heaven!

- Does God take care of us?
- Yes!

As God is... good.

You all know this.

What is real happiness?

Nobody knows?
No one did his homework?

Real happiness is to be God's friend.

Repeat: "Real happiness
is to be God's friend".

- When does one have to pray?
- In the morning, afternoon...

Morning, evening
and also during the day.

- What is to sin?
- It means to offend God.

Very Good.

What have you got to say,
you over there?

Behave please, behave.

- Why did Jesus come to Earth?
- To save us.

- And lead us?
- To Heaven.

When do we celebrate
the birth of Jesus?

At Christmas.

- Who is the mother of Jesus?
- The Holy Virgin.

Holy Mary.

Who is Jesus?

The Son of God.

- Who was he?
- A man.

Good.

Where was Jesus born?

In Bethleem.

- In a stable.
- That's very good.

So Chandon, late for Sunday school?

Our Grace won't' be happy with you.

- When did Jesus rise from the dead?
- On Ascension Day.

Your Grace, Ambulances are outside.

Children, calm down.

- You did not go to Sunday School?
- No.

- What did you do?
- I was watching the ambulances.

- What was there?
- Wounded soldiers.

Class is dismissed for today.

Still smoking yourself out?

Mondeau, where are you
running like this?

- I'm going to see the ambulances.
- How Sad!

Come on, kids, scram!

- Come on, kids.
- Marcel, take them away.
