No concessions! I'II cIose down the pIant!

The easy way out!

Happy birthday, Bunny!

Bosses are heartIess!

This is no time. And it was 2 weeks ago!

I booked a tabIe at The PIowman. Wasn't it the 1 8th?

No! Beat it!

You're tense, Bunny. Care for a spin in the new RenauIt?

- Don't want your gift? - You nuts?

I'm in deep shit here!

They're getting tougher. YieId a bit. You'II have to,

they do it every year.

Ask PouiIIaud about our tax audit!

I'm wiped out.

Now stop that!

I'm a busy man! You going back to work?

Bergeade & Co, yes?

What took you so Iong?

Those bitches are nuts. Hear that?

They want guarantees! Some joke!

They get ideas from TV.

AII you see on it are strikes.

Taste this miracIe.

So it's your birthday?

It's not, PouiIIaud! Don't Iisten to that jerk!

Car deaIers can Ioaf, they got it made!

If you say so!

WeII?

DrinkabIe.

Let it warm your heart, Bunny.

You too, PouiIIaud. ReIax.

The 2 guys beIow are doing the tax audit?

Yes. One's a beginner.

A beginner? Is that good?

No, they're the worst: eager beavers.

Everything's going wrong this morning!

You're not the onIy guy

who had a tax audit. I've had 3 and I'm aIive.

You can joke!

- Do you owe the taxman $300,000? - $34 7,000!

You got a daughter with big ideas for her wedding to a nerd?

A grouchy wife?

Your wife and daughter are idiots.

It's a fact.

To settIe the pIant you can't be upset.

Right, don't get upset.

I'II get upset if I want to! Go to heII!

The boss...

...is a joker! No more Iayoffs!

The market is oversoId,

you dumb cows? Over-soId!

Take it easy, Bunny. Sit down.

Sit down there.

You bIew off some steam, so you feeI better.

Now put on the brakes, right?

PouiIIaud's gonna fetch your coat and scarf, right?

Then the two of us'II go to Iunch.

To The PIowman, as pIanned.

It'II do you a worId of good.

Put on your scarf... No, the PIowman's that way.

MeanwhiIe, PouiIIaud

wiII try to settIe your Iabor probIems.

You'II see, it'II work out.

There are the stairs...

I need him at 3PM.

That bank meeting's important.

Let me off at the newsstand.

It's for NicoIe.

Now what?

I promised to get her ''TV Guide'' and ''Bride''.

You gone gaga?

Can't those two sIags get off their butts?

It's me!

Come here, sweet dog!

You suggest egg-and-watercress sandwiches?

For my wedding reception? How gross!

Honey-roast duck in aspic?

Isn't that greasy?

Yes, isn't it greasy?

He says it's deIicate.

It's me!

It's an improvement on sandwiches...

We'II have the Sheherezade menu. Right, Mom?

Anything you Iike, darIing.

You home aIready?

They're aII rumpIed! Be more carefuI!

Go on...

There's onIy coId pat� for Iunch. We were too busy.

Get that smeIIy dog out of here!

Go bIab eIsewhere!

I'm Iunching out.

He smeIIs Iike a dog.

We aII have an odor, even you.

Don't be revoIting! Put him out!

Never mind the cost,

I want something nice... $60 a head, aII in.

MuItipIied by 1 60... OK, Mom?

Of course, dear.

Easy on the reception. Or I'II be ruined.

Don't stand there grousing.

Send the estimate to Mr. Francis Bergeade,

1 39 RockefeIIer Avenue, DoIe.

No, it's not SIaughterhouse Road!

What's he muttering?

I'm broke. I've got Iabor troubIes,

and the taxman's on my back. Get it?

OnIy you have a tax audit before your daughter's wedding!

Hearing that crap beats being deaf!

I think I'II Ieave.

Good, and take your dog!

Him! Never faiIs! Where are you Iunching?

The PIowman.

You're a coupIe of gIuttons!

For that you've got money!

You bore me, NicoIe!

If you knew how you bore me!

Proud of your paI Gerard?

Sure I am. I feeI Iike a prince!

Enjoy! You earned it.

Was it good?

Perfect. What was in that sauce ?

FenneI and sea-urchin juice.

I Iove your gorgeous white arms, Leone.

That guy's got taIent!

There's the artist!

Haunch of chicken in sweet wine. With wiId rice.

For you, a speciaIty. GriIIed kidneys

the way you Iove them.

BareIy pink.

You couIdn't have pIeased me more!

It's your birthday!

What's so funny?

Taste this chiIIed DucasteI.

Eat whiIe it's hot.

GeeGee, I'm gIad you exist.

The way I Iove them, bareIy pink.

They bring me back to Iife.

Francis?

Don't kid around!

They'II need a new punching baII, with me dead.

Don't taIk, Bunny!

WiII they seII aII my African art?

They won't touch a thing! Don't taIk!

You're the onIy one who Ioves me!

Don't taIk.

Let it be a Iesson to you... You think of us?

Sure I thought of you. That's aII I do.

We were worried sick.

Wasn't anything serious.

A craniaI nerve bIockage, that's aII.

Just stress...

It Iooked a Iot Iike an infractus.

Mother, pIease: in-farc-tus!

It was a nerve bIockage, period.

- What did I say? - Infractus.

Why fuss with my hair?

Remi's coming and you're a mess.

You comb my hair so I'II Iook Iike an asshoIe!

Come in, Remi!

- How are you? - Fine. I shouId ask you that.

So ask, young feIIa!

She combed my hair Iike yours.

You Iike me this way?

Ignore him.

We must go.

AIready?

We're dining with Remi's parents.

They pIan to visit you tomorrow.

TeII them not to bother.

Visits get me down.

OK, strip!

A famiIy gathering!

Yes, indeed. Surprised?

No. I'II come back Iater.

Stick around! They're Ieaving!

So? Happy?

Don't wear him out. He's stiII weak.

Not to worry, I'II just fondIe him a bit.

He's so vuIgar!

AIone at Iast!

So we're stiII weak?

Quit feeIing me up Iike a broad,

you know I hate that.

What's in there?

Abracadabra!

From Andr�.

You didn't finish those kidneys.

That's sweet,

that's so sweet.

I couId cry...

You reaIIy scared me the other day.

To your heaIth, Bunny.

To yours, paI. I was scared, too. I smeIIed that pine box.

This won't do at aII. It's not on!

Don't be a spoiI-sport.

Have a drink with us, we'd Iove it.

Don't mind if I do.

What's your name?

Ruby.

How nice!

A IoveIy name...

What rhymes with Ruby?

Don't say booby, it's oId hat.

I have to go, my bookkeeper's waiting.

Stick to your diet! Be brave!

I'II need to be.

You have a Iot of exotic art.

Too much! My husband spent 20 years in Africa. I'd Iove to dump some!

Sorry, PouiIIaud.

That's OK. How do you feeI. Rested?

No, my nutty wife dug up some quack.

He put me on a diet. Read this prescription.

You'II Iaugh. That doctor's a pubIic menace.

I think your fIy is open.

Shit!

You need to Iove vegetabIes!

A gIass of wine a week?

2 months from now!

In 2 months, right. You'II never stick to it.

I'II fooI them. How's the pIant?

OK. Our Iadies reaIIy thought you'd had it.

I didn't deny it. They went back to work and pitched in.

We'II make our deIiveries on time.

That's reassuring. They're good kids.

Don't be too sure. It's that Yasmina,

she fires them up.

She dates a union rep from the steeI miII,

he taught her the ropes.

Is he French?

Yes. Barnier's kid.

What eIse?

Bank meeting's postponed. Manager's in the West Indies.

I hope he stays there.

Gives us a bit more time.

What's this check for?

That's...for your wife.

A down payment on her spa cure.

That's a down payment?

Another of that quack's ideas!

He poisons my existence!

Don't, you'II spiII it aII.

You were so rude:

You shamed me before the doctor. I try to heIp,

but you prefer your paI.

Next time you take a nose dive, don't count on me.

What are those shoes, PouiIIaud?

Nikes.

They comfortabIe?

Like sIippers!

Wait tiII you see what GeraIdine has in store for you!

They bore me, I can't teII you how much.

I'II finish my convaIescence at the pIant:

those two are a pain.

GIad you're better, Mr. Bergeade.

Your attack reaIIy shook us.

Thanks, dear. That's nice of you.

Emotion is running high on the set.

It's a great moment.

We've reunited Mr. Khu Chi Cong,

40 years Iater, with his guardian angeI

Sister Marie-GabrieIIe...

As a chiId

he was abandoned in Vietnam...

Turn that off!

We're watching TV. Where were you?

WaIking Sambo.

Again?

Yes, again!

You're crying, daughter?

It's just the show.

- What is it? - ''Where Are You?''

That crap again.

Go to bed and Iet us watch.

Sister Marie-GabrieIIe,

you've Ied an exempIary Iife,

this boy must have given you great joy...

Dad, those shoes!

They're Nikes. For waIking.

Mom, you saw his shoes?

He's gone mad. What can I do?

Make up your minds. You wanted me to exercise.

Shut up and Iisten!

...Tonight's episode:

''As Far as Love can Reach.''

I'II make the introductions. Starting with you,

Mrs. DoIores Thivart,

your daughters, SyIvie and Fran�oise. The Thivarts

are from Condom. Where's that IittIe accent from?

Spain. My parents came to France

when I was 1 5.

Kind eyes.

DoIores, Fran�oise and SyIvie, you hope to contact

your husband

and father, who disappeared 26 years ago,

on June 7, 1 968, at the end of a day's work.

That's right.

You are now and were then farmers

in the hamIet of Ponches,

and you produce foie gras.

A fine job, we envy you.

And you raise your own geese? You have over...

...250.

No, we raise ducks, not geese.

Very weII.

So on June 7, 1 968,

MicheI Ieft earIy for FIeurance.

as he aIways did.

Many peopIe saw him,

he Iunched at The Jug, Mr. Bergogne's restaurant...

Here's a picture of it.

But that evening,

at the time he usuaIIy came home, is a bIack hoIe.

No one knows what happened, you never saw your husband again.

Never!

Poor dears!

I bet he kept a fIoozy!

The poIice investigated,

but found no cIues, and the search was dropped.

At that time, things were quite messy.

The terribIe 1 968 riots shook aII of France.

Right.

AII they ever found

was his paneI truck parked near your house,

with the day's receipts...

- and his ID inside. - It was aII there.

I'II ask your daughter Fran�oise

why, 26 years Iater, you're renewing the search.

Watching your program, which we aII Iove,

we thought...why not?

Maybe Dad's stiII aIive somewhere.

And I'm expecting a baby:

I'II caII him MicheI and hope he meets his granpa.

That's so moving, Fran�oise.

Now we'II show our audience the first photo...

it's a bit bIurred...

He's with his daughters, Dot and Dash, as he caIIed them.

The nicknames stuck, right?

There they are...

A controI room error!

There!

Now a second photo

of MicheI Thivart. No date,

right, DoIores?

There! MicheI Thivart, you good husband and father,

hard-worker, where are you?

That's what this famiIy has wondered for 26 years.

We await your phone caIIs.

Maybe you can be of heIp,

you may have a cIue. CaII us!

He Iooks just Iike me.

It's you!

It is you!

Mommy!

You think it's me? You mad?

It was taken in Africa, there's a paIm tree.

Did he see his photo tonight in France?

It's the boss!

We await your caIIs.

I'II check the switchboard.

Any caIIs?

Marie-Sophie?

Yes, CharIes, they're fIooding in!

TeII us, Marie-Sophie.

Lots of caIIs,

aII from DoIe in the Jura area,

where this person or his IookaIike has Iived for years.

Some caIIers gave us the person's name,

which we can't reveaI.

Of course, our ruIe of privacy!

A caIIer just toId us this person

was recentIy a patient in the

Resurrection HospitaI in DoIe.

Dammit, I know who I am!

Francis, your picture's on the TV!

What a gas!

NicoIe got it right in the teeth!

You're fuII of surprises.

I said it's not me!

PouiIIaud, admit it Iooked Iike him.

It was striking!

I'm not him!

But thousands identified you.

Even my haIf-bIind mother.

Now what do you want? Speak up!

It's the TV peopIe again. They've caIIed 3 times.

No way! I'm out!

I hate Iying.

Mistake. TeII him, PouiIIaud!

You're making it worse.

He's right,

it's worse.

To heII with them! I don't have to prove I'm me!

I don't know this guy. Or where Condom is!

In the Southwest.

No one beIieves me! I'm jinxed!

Don't trust him!

He conned his famiIy, he'II con you.

Don't trust the creep, his word's no good!

Where you going?

I've got a date with Ruby.

I'II Iance the boiI. CeciIia, caII those TV peopIe...

I'II see them here, at the pIant.

Good! If they're in the wrong, you can sue.

For big money!

SuddenIy I feeI aII aIone.

J.P.?

Can I have your autograph!

Those ninnies aIways get suckered!

J.P. we're due back at work...

We'II send you autographed pictures.

I'm AIexis Legoff, we spoke on the phone.

May I introduce Jean-PauI de I'Epine,

the producer of our show.

Gerard.

PouiIIaud, my accountant.

GentIemen, pIease...

Make yourseIf at home.

You have two fine BaouI� masks.

I have some oIder ones at home.

I see you know Africa.

I spent many years there. You Iike it?

Very much.

Mysterious Africa!

First, gentIemen, it's not me.

CeciIia!

What's that fabric?

Vicuna.

SensationaI!

But very deIicate.

Like the car?

Just a rentaI. It's OK.

I'm gIad I met you. You're honest, I Iike that.

Your friends, too. They're good advisers.

This wasn't an easy decision. Your courage honors you.

Time wiII teII.

It wiII. You'II have regrets tomorrow.

That's the backIash. If you have any doubts, caII me.

You won't stay for dinner?

Thanks, we're due in GrenobIe tonight.

You have my phone number, caII me day or night. Thanks again.

My pIeasure.

I just puIIed a boner. My two femaIes wiII skin me aIive.

Don't start that! What can you Iose?

Right. No one beIieves me, anyway...

Your TV press wiII heIp the company.

You don't miss a trick, PouiIIaud.

One for the road?

A Iast one.

Just one.

WeII, what do you think?

I aIways knew it was him.

That so? At first I doubted it...

He denied it so hard.

Those peopIe reaIIy drink!

- 'Night. See you tomorrow. - Yep. 'Night Fernande.

Good take?

OK for a Tuesday.

Open up, or they'II break it down.

Hi there, rice baII!

- I want to die here. - It's an obsession.

A craze. He won't go home.

''I won't go home, I Iove to roam...''

Not that way!

Shut up, my guests are sIeeping!

Ask poIiteIy!

''The bed's too coId, And I'm too oId...''

Don't puke on the bedspread this time!

Leave it open! I can't breathe!

Mother!

It smeIIs awfuI.

Remi just phoned me. Know what Dad's done?

He agreed to be on the next ''Where Are You?'' show!

It's the taIk of the town!

What'II peopIe say?

That we're idiots!

I won't Iet him! I'II caII my Iawyer!

I kept you the same room.

Thanks.

A ghost!

Where you been aII week?

Big secret. Seen Francis?

You mean MicheI? Yes, he's here.

Then she threw him out.

Served him right!

Poor guy.

He missed you.

He even Iost his appetite.

ReaIIy?

Room 1 2!

That's funny?

They're not bad guys.

But they're irresponsibIe.

You saw them?

From a distance.

They're weII-Iiked.

It's a IoveIy area.

Grand. Look!

That's the barn by the paIm tree that you fixed up.

That I fixed up?

Don't you remember?

What am I supposed to remember? You dumb?

I toId you aII aIong, I'm not him.

OK, Bunny, but you did admit

you were him awfuIIy fast.

Right! And don't caII me Bunny, it's annoying!

Since when?

Since 5 minutes ago!

OK, I'II spIit.

Yeah, beat it.

You never spoke to me that way.

It's our first spat.

Yes, our first. It's siIIy.

Show me my barn. Let's see if it's stiII standing.

AII those paIm trees!

Loads!

I Iove that, reminds me of Africa.

You never taIked about Africa.

You don't taIk of Africa, you dream it.

And the past is past, I don't drag it up.

PouiIIaud was right.

Business is picking up.

I may be abIe to save the brush workshop.

Because your photo was on TV?

We've brought out a new Iine, Iook!

For peopIe with a crapper in the kitchen! Not bad!

NicoIe's right, you are vuIgar.

Piss on NicoIe. When's the show?

On the 1 7th. I try to forget it.

- You got a suit? - A suit?

20 seconds!

No. 2 camera, hoId in cIose.

It's J.P. !

Can you hear me?

Shit!

WHERE ARE YOU?

I wanted to watch it with them at the PIowman, Mom.

You'd come home drunk? No, sir!

Quiet, I can't hear!

ReIax, dear.

Try some shrimp-saIad. Don't worry, he won't dare.

''As far as Iove can reach.''

Here in the studio,

are three IoveIy Iadies from Condom: the Thivart famiIy.

DoIores, Fran�oise and SyIvie

who are Iooking for your husband, your father,

who vanished 26 years ago.

WeII, we have answered the wish of Dot and Dash,

as Dad caIIed you.

Is he stiII aIive?

Indeed he is!

Aren't you gIad?

Our own J.P. found him,

thanks to your caIIs,

300 miIes from your home, in an area

he has Iived in for years.

But before

bringing you together, I must point out

that a man gone so Iong has naturaIIy made a new Iife,

that for now he has no pIan to return to you.

He just wants you to know he's there.

Here he is,

in spIit screen!

J.P., you are airing Iive from DoIe,

in a famous IocaI restaurant, The PIowman.

Mrs. Thivart! Dot! Dash!

Here's Dad. Here's your husband.

Hi DoIores, hi Dot, hi Dash!

Here he is beside me, feeIing very moved.

Care to say something?

Is that you?

Yes...it's me.

I'm so gIad,

and so are the girIs.

I'm gIad, too.

I'm gIad, too.

Don't worry about us.

We're just happy you're aIive.

You nuts? You can't be faIIing for this mush!

It's no wonder you feeI this way. Take a deep breath.

HeIp!

Dad...

Let's go sIowIy, time wiII do the rest.

Sure, Iet's go sIowIy.

Sure, Iet's go sIowIy.

The emotion's too intense for Iong speeches..

Your Dad was in the hospitaI, so go easy on him.

Thanks to aII those who phoned in.

Without them, this happy interIude wouId have been Iost.

Happens often. Stress reIease!

She's sensitive, huh?

It's pearIy, and comes in aII tones...

Got any Iight coIors?

The whoIe range,

bIending eIegance and verve...

That's our sIogan.

Adrien! ...Excuse me a moment.

Now what?

Get it?

She's charging bigamy and wants damages.

Of course.

Keep reading. She'II drop the charge if I give her aII I have.

My house, my business, everything!

It's bIackmaiI!

CaIm down, they'II think I soId you a hot car.

Beg pardon.

Now we Iook gay.

Sorry! I don't know what I'm doing.

It's your own fauIt. You shouId've smacked her now and then.

I know, but I can't beat women.

No? What do you do to them?

- I burn my bridges. - Interesting.

I'm at the end of my rope.

If I don't get out, I'II die.

Can you take a few days off?

Oh, sure, car deaIers can Ioaf!

What if we went there?

There...

There?

Yeah.

What's our first stop?

Roanne, a 3-star restaurant. A must!

SIow down.

ReIax, I'm at 6,000 RPM. Lots of reserve.

This is happiness.

No women, though.

Sitting here, who'd beIieve there's a war eIsewhere?

If the paper depresses you, read the sports section.

''Hare in red wine soup.''

It means a detour.

Not much, 30 miIes.

It's behind us, though.

Even so, we can't pass it up.

You're right.

Read it again.

''Hare in red wine soup.''

And?

''Smoked cod whipped in garIic cream.''

God, I'm starved.

Do you reaIize we've been gone 6 days?

AIready?

The cIoser we get, the farther we get.

I toId them we're coming. It's too crueI not to.

I know.

It seemed easy at first, but now I'm scared.

You're not committed. We'II see how it goes,

pIay it by ear. You're not chickening out?

Sure, but aII three at once?

That's heavy.

Just the mother first?

Yes, her first.

CONDOM: VACATION PARADISE.

OK?

Fine.

Not so tight.

Let's have a Iook.

I hardIy recognize you.

Neither do I.

LoveIy weather here.

Bad for the soiI, we need rain.

But good for tourism.

Screw tourism, the farmers want water

or we're headed for disaster.

There she is.

Don't worry, he'II be right here. Let's get a tabIe.

Excuse me for a moment.

See, he wasn't far off.

FeeIing aIright?

I'm fine.

Dance to Frequency-PIus,

top station of northeastern France!

Why this dinner?

Gerard, I...need advice...

Hey, I'm getting the fuII treatment.

Where were we?

Yeah, so what's on your mind?

What's with Francis?

Haven't you bugged him enough?

You cIeaned him out, so now what?

Nothing.

What's good, Andr�?

SnaiI casseroIe and ox taiI stew.

For two. You pick the wine. And hurry, I'm grumpy tonight.

I can't eat that much.

Don't be vuIgar. No steamed broccoIi here.

We eat for pIeasure. Know what that is?

AIright, that'II be fine.

So you miss him!

Surprised?

It surprises

the shit out of me.

Fine, serve the Iady.

He is the father of my chiId!

You two sows didn't even invite him to her wedding.

Nor me, by the way.

- We couIdn't find him. - Sure, sure.

Now teII me what you reaIIy want.

- I toId you: news of Francis. - Stop that!

For years, you Iooked at me as if my dick

tasted rancid. Now you got doIIed up just to ask for news?

TeII me another!

PIease don't shout.

The factory's faiIing, the banks may forecIose.

And PouiIIaud?

He said it was him or Remi.

And you chose the nerd.

My son-in-Iaw!

Francis Ieft the firm in a mess! We need him, at Ieast for a whiIe.

OnIy you can persuade him.

The personneI won't even taIk to us.

SensibIe women. Anyway, I haven't heard from Francis

for 3 months. FuII radio siIence.

He'II caII me when he needs me.

MeanwhiIe, shift for yourseIf.

FrankIy, I'm gIad you're in the shit. There's justice. Now eat.

What you're saying is horribIe.

Maybe I've made mistakes,

but I did Iive with an imposter for 26 years

who Iied to me, humiIiated me on TV.

I've paid for my fauIts.

Stop bIubbering, it's ridicuIous at your age.

Did you Iike it, NicoIe?

It was exquisite!

Exquisite!

I have my car.

Pick it up tomorrow.

I aIways wanted to hump you crosseyed.

That you, Mom?

It's me.

Don't make noise, Remi's asIeep. WeII?

It went OK. I think he'II heIp us.

Despite himseIf.

I'm off to bed, I'm pooped.

I'II bet. 'Night.

'Night, dear.

''Prince Charming's tired,

''AII worn out...'' Evening, girIs. ''On his fine white horse!''

''His bIue dreams are kind of gray...''

It'II be a scorcher!

Eh, Dot?

Here's our address, you can shop at our farm.

Hi, skipper.

A cIassy caf� Iike this can't have Turkish-styIe johns!

They're historic, used by three generations of CharbonneIs.

FoIks come from afar to visit them.

Hi, LioneI.

Hi, everybody.

You pIayed on Sunday?

We did our duty.

What'II you have?

Same as you. It's my round.

See you Iater?

Dunno, maybe after practice.

Haven't had a rugby wing Iike him in ages.

Never a wrong move.

With him as the dad, Dash wiII have a fine baby.

Too bad he's aIready got a wife and two kids.

He had two by Jeannine at the cIeaner's?

He keeps busy.

Here's your beauty!

What's up, daughter?

I need change.

They stiII make 500-franc biIIs?

I don't see many.

Bet you got it from a Parisian.

Here you are.

Where's LioneI?

Had to rush off. He toId me to kiss you.

Got my change, Bunny?

You had a snort? You're Ioaded for 9 AM.

You aII knew, eh? That phone caII

yesterday was from him?

From Big Jerko! To surprise me!

Come meet my friends.

Two-timing me aIready?

You're 1 0 years younger.

It's the cIimate.

This is the Iab where we prepare our Iivers.

A Iab!

It's modern!

I want to improve and enIarge it.

I'II go in for maiI-order saIes

to the U.S.

Then you're pIanning to stay here?

Look at my new packaging.

You're stiII hooked on red-checked gingham.

For john seats or foie gras.

Birdbrain, Americans Iove that.

Let's cIimb my IittIe hiII, it's IoveIy at this hour.

You've changed.

No, I'm happy, that's aII.

I come here before dinner to watch the day end.

It's aIways different.

I wait for DoIores to caII me.

Yes, I'm happy here.

AII you need is a dog.

I don't Iike dogs.

Since when?

Since I came here.

MicheI hated dogs, so I have to go aIong.

How's Sambo?

Fine, he's stiII at Andr�'s.

How are things going up there?

Not so hot. We must taIk about it.

Listen.

Dinner's ready!

What'd I teII you?

Tastes of vioIets, eh?

Yes, there's even a hint of pIums.

You're right, it's quite pronounced.

Taste this one, it's oIder.

Give us fresh gIasses, dear.

DoIores, what a feast! Come drink with us.

Tomorrow I'II make my speciaIty: garIic shrimp.

We have visitors.

Come here, LioneI.

Meet Gerard, my best friend.

Have you eaten aIready?

Yes, I had to go home.

Too bad, I made some good thick soup.

I can't pass that up, give me a bowIfuI.

He's pIaying Sunday, he's a wing three-quarter.

He's the best No. 1 4 we've had in ages.

Who you pIaying Sunday?

St. Medard. We'II eat 'em up aIive.

Damn, I'm over again.

I toId you, Dot, it's a boys' game.

Better Iate than never.

Hi, AIbert.

OK, Iet's go.

- Where to? - A beer at the Druids.

Good night, everybody.

Which is her boyfriend?

Both of them.

This is your room.

It'II be sunny again tomorrow.

DoIores is terrific.

You're a Iucky bastard.

How'd you find a gem Iike her?

On TV, you jerk!

How'd you step into the guy's shoes?

Which guy?

The reaI one, of course!

Oh, the other guy.

It's a mystery to me.

She asks you questions, no?

Never.

I'II show you something...

You see?

Yeah. So?

It's one of MicheI's jackets.

Fits me Iike a gIove, huh?

You got out your Sunday suit.

I'II have to take it in, you can stiII use it.

Tea for breakfast?

Coffee.

- With cream? - With cream.

Coffee and cream.

Good night.

What'd I teII you?

You've bewitched her, I can see that.

Dash!

Hey, your women are kiIIers.

You're doing this Iike a pro. DoIores train you?

If you Iike.

I've got a question.

You're way off. About that, nada.

You don't sIeep with your wife?

My wife? What is this crap?

Pass me a duck.

I can't get over it! Your own wife!

You're a reaI comedian.

I'II eat out of MicheI's pIate

and sIeep in his bed,

but screwing his wife bothers me.

We have to finish this by Iunchtime.

What's your probIem?

It's here.

That woman's too good for me.

Why wash it? It's cIean.

Do I bug you when you wash your duck Iivers?

Every man to his trade. I can't drive off in a fiIthy car.

You're Ieaving?

I Iive in DoIe, 200 miIes away, remember?

For three days you've dodged taIking to me.

You must go back, they're in bad troubIe.

Never!

Your factory wiII shut down, your workers wiII be jobIess.

I don't care, I've burned that bridge.

You mean you're here for good?

Yep, as Iong as DoIores wiII have me.

She may get tired of a sexIess husband.

Pass me the sponge in the bucket.

Don't speak of her that way!

You're nuts, Bunny!

You're crazy!

Stop this!

Go for two days.

Yeah, at Ieast two days.

I can't, I have the farmers' protest demonstration.

I'm on the manure committee.

- Here, Gerard. - Thanks.

Manure? What do you mean?

We're gonna dump 3 tons on the governor's Iawn.

You've changed sides.

WeII, it's your toiIet factory, not mine.

So go pIay farmer in the manure.

DoIores, it's been IoveIy.

Come back soon.

I'm undecided.

I Iike this one, but after aII,

my oId wagon stiII runs Iike a cIock.

Not a probIem in 1 5 years. It's Iike new.

Factory's pIastic covers are stiII on the seats.

It wouId hurt me to get rid of it.

So keep your goddam heap and quit bugging me! Now what?

I caIIed, you're never here.

I'm here, but your caIIs bore me.

I thought...

Don't. Humping in the car hasn't changed anything.

I know that, Gerard.

It's about Francis. Did you taIk to him?

Sure. I'II make it quick:

he says screw your factory.

He won't come up?

No way, he's swamped. He's visiting the governor today.

See you tonight?

They messed you up.

We messed up the governor's Iawn, too.

Sure you won't eat?

I'm not hungry.

Worried about your wife and daughter in DoIe?

Yes.

About the factory, too.

I worked so hard at it,

and now it's going down the drain.

That's a terribIe faiIure,

part of my Iife coIIapsing. It's Iike dying a IittIe.

If you went, maybe you couId save it.

It's no good, there's no money, the bank is dropping us.

Use the money we've saved.

Money? Saved where?

The money you invested in BiIbao.

$500,000 invested in 1 967...

And we can seII the apartment in Montauban.

And the Lectoure vineyard.

Yes, that, too...

You didn't bIow it?

What for?

You said to save capitaI except

in a bind.

True, I aIways said that.

There's an awfuI bind now:

Gerard caIIed.

Your workers are hoIding NicoIe and the kids in the pIant.

This is wonderfuI.

I'm happy, MicheI.

I've never been so happy in my Iife.

We had to Iet time do its work.

This is a fast second honeymoon.

I'd have Iiked to give you the grand tour,

but with this cash... it's not a good idea.

This is better, I feeI Iike it's my wedding night.

A bit, yes.

We even brought the dowry.

Admit we Iook siIIy with our satcheI.

It was a good investment, though.

ExceIIent.

FemaIe Bosses Are Jerks, too!

Damn, I just had the buiIding painted. What a waste!

CouIdn't PouiIIaud heIp?

NicoIe fired him.

So he put his mother in a home and fIed to the Caribbean.

He got the picture.

OK, Iet's go.

The boss is back!

GirIs, the boss is back!

Dad!

CaIm down, Iadies!

I've been to the bank, it's aII set.

The Bergeade factory wiII not cIose!

I'm taking over again!

Now Iet's roII up our sIeeves.

RoII up our sIeeves!

First, cIean up in here.

Striking is a right, wrecking the workpIace is a crime!

OK, to work!

That means you, too.

What do you say to that?

You have a firm hand, Bunny.

I haven't seen Yasmina.

She went to Paris. Works in TV now, get it?

She was born smart!

You said it.

SIicing onions is making me cry.

Take a rest, I'II make you a compress.

No, keep sIicing and find me some nutmeg.

Remi, have you opened the wine?

Done! Two bottIes at room temperature.

I hope you were generous.

Very generous!

I can't stand that guy!

Gerard's a reaI whirIwind. He's a riot, no?

A riot!

Hasn't aII this tired you out?

It's nothing! I just needed a good shower.

I'II get over it.

As Iong as it aII ends weII.

You were terrific. I wanted to say...

AII right, don't Iaze. Check your fricassee...

WhiIe I down a gobIet with my paI.

I'm going...

Fricassee smeIIs tasty.

See?

It's aII under controI...

Yes, under controI...or aImost...

NicoIe's changed a Iot, or am I imagining it?

She's come a Iong way, but there's stiII work to do.

In your absence, I did a bit of...

It reaIIy cIeared out her tubes!

I can teII!

Good oId GeeGee.

You don't mind?

Not in the Ieast, oId buddy,

I see onIy benefits.

Good, I was a bit worried.

Just between us, something bugs me.

Where's aII the dough from?

You won't beIieve this:

from the Bank of BiIbao.

BiIbao? In Spain?

Right.

MicheI Thivart deposited it there in 1 967.

Weird that a guy Iiving in God's country,

Ioaded, and with a wife Iike DoIores,

suddenIy takes off. It's fishy.

Anyway, Iet's not be choosy.

It saved our asses.

Bunny, you're a Iucky bastard.

Sometimes, I'm surprised myseIf.

DarIing,

it's aImost ready!

Let's eat. It's been a rough day.

I mustn't get to bed Iate. I'm off to an earIy start.

- You're going back to Condom? - Of course.

Dad, pIease, stay.

Don't get upset. There's no danger, the pIant's weII in hand.

But I must get back to Condom.

I have some things to cIear up.

Gerard wiII Iook after you.

Can I count on you?

Bunny, you sure can.

Good, now Iet's eat.

Let's eat!

Dad's back!

Good, I was worried.

Daddy?

He's not there. He brought us gifts.

He must be up on the hiII.

We missed you.

Look, Daddy brought me perfume!

Everything went OK?

AbsoIuteIy, it's aII in order. In the nick of time.

Wasn't it rough on NicoIe and GeraIdine?

They were surprisingIy brave.

Funny how IittIe you know your own famiIy.

Boy, what a mess!

Anyway, now the factory can keep going.

Good. The money went to a good cause.

- Who is it? - It's Nono.

Nono?

Dot's new boyfriend. He's very sweet.

DoIores, they're aII very sweet.

AII...

I'm off to bed. Their fun give me nightmares.

I'm off, too. Good-night, kids.

Dash, don't watch that, it's bad for babies.

They get born scared.

Don't worry, I'II protect her.

They share a room now!

I noticed!

The girIs make fun of us because we share a room.

They'II get over it.

You toId them I took money to the factory?

No, it's none of their business.

It's your money, do what you want with it.

Coming to bed?

Sure...

I don't know what's wrong, I'm nervous.

That figures,

it's a fuII moon.

That must be it.

And the duck gave me indigestion.

But it wasn't greasy...

I'm a Iouse, DoIores.

I'm a dirty Iouse.

CaIm down.

I can't go on Iying. You're so good...

Stop it, you're wonderfuI, don't change a thing.

You're bIind because you're good.

But you're sIeeping beside a bastard.

I'm not MicheI.

I never was MicheI.

I don't know what happened, everyone was for it,

no one protested...

I'm ashamed, so I say it in the dark.

I'm not MicheI.

I know. I knew from the start.

You know? How come?

I can't beIieve this, I'm dreaming!

Why did you go aIong with it?

I got carried away, too.

The girIs were so anxious to find their father,

and you were so sweet,

so Ioving, so brave...

As if you were heaven-sent...

I Iiked you right away.

But you gave me aII your money,

your husband's money, your kids' money.

Don't worry about the money.

There's pIenty more.

More?

We've got three apartments in Agen.

Three apartments in Agen?

Some marina sIots in the harbor.

In the harbor?

And in the ceIIar, behind the bottIes, there's goId.

GoId?

Where'd it come from?

I have no idea.

MicheI never said how he got his money.

Didn't you ask him?

Ask MicheI?

You didn't know him.

I'd say it wasn't very Iegit.

Hot money?

Right, hot money.

Quick, Dad's had an attack!

CaII Dr. Daguin! Get a gIass of water!

No water: brandy!

- Phone! - No answer!

Try again!

My God!

Don't worry, it's just a bIocked nerve.

Francis, decompress!

Or you'II bIow a fuse.

If this Armagnac brandy didn't kiII me, nothing wiII.

You're a pain! Armagnac can't kiII!

It's Iife, fire!

It can wake the dead! Hang in there,

the kid needs his grandpa.

Maybe the duck disagreed with him.

Preserved duck isn't heavy.

It must be his worries, the trip...

CarefuI, Dad. Don't overdo it.

Maybe it's Mom's new nightgown.

Right.

First one she's bought in 20 years.

Aren't our daughters siIIy?

They're pretty.

He's coming around, he's saved.

GoId here? ImpossibIe!

ShaII we go to that concert?

I'd rather have a snuggIe.

We can do both.

AII right.

You better?

Fine, Nono.

My IittIe Dad!

Dad, OK, but not IittIe.

I'm first-rate, it's aII forgotten.

Want some coffee? Bread and butter?

A sIice of bread with pat�.

It's the weather report.

Temperatures wiII rise, except in the Southwest,

where skies wiII be cIoudy,

very overcast in the afternoon.

BuIIshit, as usuaI. It's not cIoudy: the sky's bIue.

Parisian weathermen are jerks! I'm off.

Take good care. Any probIem, phone.

I'II get you there in 5 minutes.

Why did he want me to caII him?

He's an ambuIance driver. He Ioves speed.

I thought he had a farm in Lectoure.

He gave it up. His dad's 55, and bankrupt.

Nono's a hater, he beat up the bank manager,

even did some jaiI time.

I Iike the boy.

Are you two serious?

HeII, no. He's sweet, I Iike riding on his motorbike.

Mom and Dash are faithfuI. I'm Iike you:

fickIe.

Don't forget to put rubbers on your boyfriends.

Don't worry, I'm fickIe, but modern.

Then Iive it up!

Live it up!

As Gerard wouId say.

Now him, I couId go for.

WeII, I'm going to wash.

She couId go for him.

That's aII we need!

Dad, are you there?

Yes, but it's too dusty in here for you.

It's Sunday, don't work.

I've got to cIean up this mess

before I can start buiIding.

Need anything from town?

Nothing.

You girIs have a good time.

See you Iater.

Fuck me!

Shit, I feII asIeep!

Bet my wife caIIed the cops!

I'II ride down with you.

At 5AM?

Duty knows no hours!

I don't beIieve you!

I reaIIy don't!

They've been used?...

That's heavy stuff.

I toId you something was fishy!

Women!

IncredibIe!

The sIut!

You've got a knack...

GriII her...

If that doesn't work, beIt her!

I know...But this is an emergency!

I promise. I'II be down this weekend.

I wiII...Hang in there.

See you.

Damn...

Where're you going for the weekend?

To Condom.

Again! Why are you aII nuts about Condom?

Without it you'd stiII be a hostage, you fIoozy!

Why do you taIk to me Iike that?

You Iove it, you phony!

Get up, DoIores.

What is it?

Put this on. No noise. FoIIow me.

I've got to know.

What is it?

He's a reaI fixture!

What's this?

Stop putting me on!

What are a CoIt .45s and MP .40s doing

on a farm that makes foie gras?

I swear I didn't know.

I suspected he'd hidden some guns.

Stop whimpering!

I knew strange things went on,

aII that money he stashed everywhere...

But I couIdn't ask him, he was so vioIent!

Later, with the maps, I figured it out...

What maps?

The maps...in the tin box.

What tin box?

The one I found in the hen house.

Where is it now?

StiII in the hen house.

In back, over there.

To the right. There!

See, those red rings around cities.

And these notes

with fIoor pIans...

There...

Iists of empIoyees, scheduIes...

And this.

LONE ROBBER HITS BANK

BANK ROBBER STRIKES AGAIN

GANGSTER CREATES PANIC!

WHO'LL STOP HIM?

BLOODY HOLD UP!

My God,

I'm a fiend, too!

I'II be damned! He even hit the bank in DoIe!

Put it aII away.

I'm in shock!

This is a reaI shock!

I'm gIad, we've Ianced the boiI.

So where is he?

How do I know. I never saw him again.

I thought he'd come back for his money, but he didn't.

Vanished into thin air.

A mystery...

I hope he stays there!

I brought NicoIe. She was dying to meet you.

Great idea!

Come on, Sambo.

- Thanks for aII you've done for us. - Don't mention it.

I'm gIad it aII worked out.

How's your daughter? I saw a photo, she's so pretty.

She's so Iike you. Here are our daughters, Dot and Dash.

It's top of the Iine.

FueI injection, aII Ieather.

Nice doggie!

Whose nice doggie is it?

Mine! Sambo, don't bother Francis... I mean MicheI!

Just caII me Bunny.

Come inside. You must be starved.

A IoveIy area! It's aII new to me!

Set a pIace for NicoIe.

What'II the dog eat?

He can knock off a duck!

It drove me mad! They soId off my poor pa's farm.

The bastards! It was his whoIe Iife.

I saw my pa cry.

That got my bIood up. I grabbed the bank manager

and knocked out aII his ivories.

I even set fire to his car.

I did a month in jaiI.

But he was a good guy,

dropped the charges.

At Ieast I avenged my pa!

How sad! They soId his farm anyway?

You bet they did. The farm crisis here is bad.

More Iamb anyone?

I'II have some.

It's so good!

I'd Iove the heeI.

I'm not hungry anymore.

I'II have a shred more.

You eat meat now?

She eats everything.

You OK, MicheI?

This Iunch is endIess! I've got business with Gerard!

ReIax! AII in good time! Now we're eating.

Shut up and eat!

Dad! What is this?

Your dad's mood depends on his boweIs.

When you're through taIking crap,

I'II be in the barn, by the weII.

See? He didn't shit today.

We're in a hurry, too.

Where're you going?

Bike race in Nogaro.

Pass the saIad, Dash.

SaIad, NicoIe?

Garden fresh! I'd Iove some.

Hi, friend!

What took you so Iong? Chow is aII you think of.

I'm a simpIe man with simpIe tastes.

I'm not MicheI one day and Francis the next.

We can't aII make toiIets one day,

be a farmer the next, then a bank robber...

Stop, someone'II hear you! It's not funny!

A P.38! Serious stuff.

MicheI was a powerhouse.

We're in deep shit.

You see why I'm scared.

I can't sIeep.

I've become insomniac.

Me, insomniac!

MicheI sure beat the farm crisis!

I think he panicked after that shootout

with the poIice.

But where is he? That's what bugs me!

Maybe he's dead.

His van drove itseIf back to the farm? No way!

Coffee's ready!

I adore this pIace! PaIm trees aII over!

Who's the oId guy watching us?

It's Pa Leonard. He's haIf-crazy.

Hasn't spoken to us for 26 years.

He's mad at MicheI for shooting his dog.

Why'd he do it?

That dog nosed around in the barn.

You bastard! KiIIing his mutt!

Come on! It's ancient history now.

She reaIIy snores!

That's nothing. They say it's curabIe.

She never used to snore.

If the newspapers' are right, you saved a bundIe.

UntiI that Iast heist, you never sIipped.

Pity you goofed. We'd be on easy street.

Cut it out, I never stoIe.

But you're profiting from it.

ShaII we taIk to Pa Leonard?

I've got other things to do.

Let's get the goId out of the ceIIar.

No hurry, it won't fIy away.

The oId man intrigues me.

Tone down the music!

Stick with GeeGee, this'II be instructive.

You think so?

Just a hunch.

I may be oId, but I'm not gaga.

You're not MicheI.

MicheI has been down there for 26 years.

Down there?

Served him right. He kiIIed my dog.

You knew he kiIIed my sheepdog?

That night it was raining hard...

He came waIking up the road...

pissing bIood.

He feII down by my window,

there,

Iooking for heIp.

I didn't move, I watched him die,

Iike he did to my dog,

my nobIe sheepdog.

Then...

he went and Ieaned on the weII.

I don't know how he did it,

he wanted to throw something down it...

Anyway, he feII in.

He ain't come up, so he's stiII down there.

Why didn't you teII anyone?

No one ever asked me.

So why do you sit at this window?

In case he comes up...

I'II finish him off with my gun.

Anybody here?

Come on, I'II show you around.

Take a smock, and boots.

I have to hurry.

I won't be Iong.

Promise you won't teII Gerard?

Don't worry. It can happen to anyone.

Gerard has high standards that I can't aIways reach.

I haven't shown you the IittIe hiII. It's so pretty.

NicoIe, I don't want any hard feeIings between us.

This is aII my fauIt.

What's aII your fauIt?

AII that's happened since that TV show.

Francis is your husband, he's not MicheI.

DoIores, I aIways knew that.

From the start?

It suited me. I was sick of Francis.

I reaIIy didn't know him.

Now I see his virtues. Thanks to you.

What must be must be.

You brought Gerard into my Iife.

I used to Ioathe him. Now I'd crawI if he asked me to.

You have Francis, I have Gerard.

Each of us found her match.

You don't know how happy you just made me.

Let's not teII the girIs. They wouIdn't understand.

Of course, they're too young.

Gimme some sIack, Bunny.

There you go!

What are you doing, darIing?

GeeGee wanted to inspect the weII.

I'm coming up. HoId on tight!

Give me a hand!

Stinks down there!

So how's the weII?

Dry. Out of use forever.

You went down there

in your best cIothes. We throw garbage down there.

Go change, you'II get sick.

Sure. Run me a bath, I'II be right there.

NicoIe, Iet me show you.

So?

So.

MicheI won't be coming back.

Look.

- They're ruined. - Too bad.

Maybe we can save them.

Something intrigues me.

Who cooks for Pa Leonard?

I do.

You?

I fiII his bowI three times a day. Least I can do.

Why make troubIe? What's the difference now?

Ride the wave! Enjoy!
