MONSIEUR HULOT'S HOLIDAY

Leave the kid alone.

It's all the stuff you bought! Come on.

Save me a seat!

Is that my seat?

Colonel Bichenard was in charge.

I had only two stripes at the time —

We now present the noon edition of our news report.

Here are the top stories:

The National Αssembly, financial updates —

What is it? What's happening?

Give me that!

Ladies, gentlemen.

Your name? Ah, I see.

Monsieur...?

What?

Allow me. - Hulot.

H-U-L-O-T.

Your pipe.

Hello there!

Get out of here!

Good day, sir.

Good day.

Telephone!

Telephone!

For heaven's sake! What's this?

Sorry, ma'am. The little one loses everything.

Denis!

Denis!

- Did you find him? - I don't know where he is.

Denis!

- He's right here. - Denis!

Kid, come here a minute.

Did you touch the winch? - No, sir.

- What happened? - It wasn't my fault!

Who let it loose? Someone touched it!

Jean, catch.

Jean.

Look, a boat. And another one.

Two... three... four.

This is wonderful!

Dad, look at Monsieur Hulot.

Get your ice cream

and sorbets here!

The tanks were just north of us.

It was a tense moment. We had to make a decision.

Madame... monsieur.

Get the latest news! Paris Matin!

That's Mr. Ménard, the proprietor.

Good day, madame.

Is this table free? - Please go right ahead.

It makes no sense! I never touched the winch!

Here's our table.

I'm so sorry!

No, it doesn't matter.

Do you know my friend?

Well, here we are. Sit down. What's for lunch?

- What's wrong? - You weren't there this morning?

No, we went fishing.

Well, you missed quite a boat launch.

Some people are worse than children.

- You think it was a tourist? - I'm sure of it.

- Leg of lamb on eight. - Ready!

- Αn order of scallops. - Coming up!

Extra mayo on four.

- Half a carafe of rosé on six. - Got it!

- One steak. Make it bloody! - Okay.

- Αn order of mussels. - Make it two!

Prince Tijani Sansuobokok,

renowned specialist in subequatorial forestry...

has arrived in Fiaranantsoa,

where an important arboricultural conference is to be held.

No, you wouldn't be intruding. Don't be shy.

You look just fine.

It will make a nice souvenir. Just one moment.

I've got an idea.

You wear my cap and I'll wear your hat.

That'll be funny!

Don't move!

Mr. Schmutz.

My briefcase!

London? Schmutz speaking. Did you sell?

- I'm happy to finally get here. - Thank you, Auntie.

Hulot.

Coming, Martine?

Do you know that man? A real gentleman.

What a horrendous trip! Don't touch me. I'm filthy.

A half hour delay, no restaurant car, hordes of people,

and stifling heat.

I was so annoyed!

It took an hour to find my luggage!

The station was so crowded I thought I'd die of thirst,

and not a drop of water to be found!

A throng of people changing trains!

And what heat!

You can't imagine!

I can't believe it! Where did my suitcases go?

Ah, there you are.

You're very kind. Please set them there.

Thank you so much.

But our actions must reflect the ideology guiding us.

There's the hotel, the little port, the lighthouse.

Nice, isn't it? - Very pretty.

What's that over there? - That?

No idea.

The fishermen are usually out. I only see one today.

With my unit, I was the first...

to get rid of puttees.

A soldier in infantry has the same rights as in artillery,

yet one gets real gaiters

while the other has to wrap his shins!

Out for a stroll, lady?

Watch out back there! I almost ran over that woman!

You signaled? Did you see him signal?

Blockhead!

I told you not to serve peas as the main dish.

Hide them in a soup or forget it!

Denise, come on! You're keeping us waiting.

This has been...

Good night, ladies and gentlemen.

We'll be back on the air tomorrow at 6:30 a.m.

Good night, ma'am.

Down the hatch!

Down the hatch!

What a gorgeous view! Just splendid.

Martine, come see the fishermen.

Look out there.

Magnificent, don't you think?

A friend from the beach.

Mr. Aubert, my husband.

A marvelous view, don't you think?

I was just admiring the sea, the rocks, the white sails.

It's all so lovely.

Is that Saint-Nazaire?

See? Over there.

No, it's over there.

I always find a seaside vacation so pleasant and restful.

Unfortunately, it's so windy that my hair's always a mess.

The bourgeoisie is clearly full of contradictions.

Progress? Fine, but with due caution!

That's the key — a rigorous eclecticism.

I was in the same sector as the English army.

I was an officer at the time. You know the Ardennes?

A very dangerous area. You remember, n'est-ce pas?

I received orders from le général, a good friend of mine.

I was in charge of a very delicate mission.

I don't know if you remember the Ardennes during wartime,

but it wasn't exactly a stroll down the Champs-Elysées.

May I leave the table?

Want to come hear some super American records?

- The Duke is sensational! - I prefer Fats Waller.

- Cigarette? - No, thanks. I don't smoke.

Wait for me!

Get in!

We'll catch him!

I tried to drag Dad to a concert, but no deal.

I only like Bach and bebop. They're basically the same.

Your coat!

Your battery's dead.

Stay here. I'll try to get out.

Not to speak ill of the dead, but when she was alive —

We'll give you a hand.

- Get in. - Sit down.

- My condolences. - Thank you.

My condolences.

Indochina stocks show clear improvement.

Prices for wheat, sugar, and shellac remain strong.

Interesting news from New York regarding cotton:

Consumption is over nine million bales...

People don't need munitions and supplies.

They need an ideal! - Don't tell me —

Get the latest news! Paris Matin!

Get the latest news! Paris Matin!

Here you go. Nice and taut, you see?

That's it.

- How much? - That's 100 francs.

You didn't say hello to Mrs. Dubreuil.

The human body has been compared to a machine

that runs on heat.

Muscles don't get their power from the nerves or spinal cord.

There's no way to hit the ball! His serve!

I've never seen such a thing! That's too much!

Left backhand, right drive.

Hello, Marie-France.

What's with you? You think it's funny?

Mr. Schmutz! Telephone!

No, this way! At the hotel!

How about a horse ride?

Very well.

See you tomorrow at 9:00 a.m.

There's the lunch bell.

Ah, there you are.

Good round.

Your turn.

- That's so annoying! - No trump?

Play!

Whose turn?

Hearts.

- Your dogs, ma'am. - Did they have a good dinner?

Today's special and yesterday's soup.

Mademoiselle, please.

Are you familiar with Bertrand's essay?

It's particularly relevant for women protesting bourgeois decadence.

Even a housewife...

- Sorry. - ...must be socially and politically aware.

I hope he wasn't a bother. You're very kind.

Good night.

What's going on? Everyone calm down!

Major, please!

A seashell!

Another one!

It's so pretty.

Here, take this one. It's beautiful.

Did you bring my bathrobe?

- Telephone, Mr. Schmutz. - I'll just be a minute.

Come on.

Here are your horses.

My horses? Ah, right. 9:00.

Yes? Come in.

Do sit down.

Well, Martine...

are you excited?

Sure you're not scared? Please be very careful.

Get the latest news! Paris Matin!

I saw it happen!

Get me a wrench.

Get your ice cream and sorbets here!

Stay tuned, because in just a moment,

Mr. Durrieux, the minister of state, will address the nation.

Here is Mr. Durrieux.

Fellow citizens, we face difficult times.

I address you tonight to assure you that our government

will fulfill its responsibility to you, the voters,

and even to those who have not voted up to now.

What do I speak of?

The pessimistic tone of the reports I’ve perused these last months

leaves, alas, little doubt.

To the usual critics

content to disparage our efforts I say,

‘‘Offer new solutions of your own.''

As a believer in Europe, I haven't given up the hope

of seeing the French people set aside superficial issues

to rally behind what is essential.

The latest statistics show

that our imports exceed our exports

by several billion francs.

Private savings will be indispensable

in keeping our national budget balanced without inflation.

Mrs. Verdaz and Mrs. Paillaud will ride in Mr. Bresson's car.

Mr. Verdaz will be jealous!

Mrs. Giraud...

will ride in Mr. Reynald's car.

Françoise!

Just a second. I'm coming.

Major, no one's told us which car we're to ride in.

Monsieur Hulot's car.

Ah, very good.

- Where is he? Hulot! - Unbelievable! Have you seen him?

Blast it all!

- What's going on? - The rope broke.

Because you hit the brakes.

I saw the whole thing!

There he is!

- What's going on? - We can't change the plan.

It's all been methodically organized. You must wait for Monsieur Hulot.

But he's not here!

Madame has offered you her spot. How very kind.

No, I'm waiting for a phone call. I can't go.

‘‘The nascent Lettrism will fight the good fight.

No more empty clichés! Action!

Legislation must give way to doctrinal inspiration.

Capitalism talks too much. Eclecticism will prevail.''

We can't ride in that car with these dresses.

Direction... north!

Set the plates out in a row.

Not more melon!

Let's see. Set it there.

No, keep the preserves in reserve.

- What about dessert? - Set it there.

Look how lovely the view is beyond those bushes:

the little village, the red roofs, the church.

You wouldn't think you're so close to the sea.

And I hadn't noticed that road behind the trees.

But didn't we pass that already?

It loops around. Isn't that the road we're coming to?

What's happening?

Did you see that?

I went up and then came down again.

At last we're off again. It's about time. I'm getting hungry.

Firmin!

I hear them.

Quick, my gun!

Martine, what a picnic! Never again!

I was in Monsieur Hulot's car —

Get the latest news!

Listen to my orders!

The pinwheels need to be higher!

What do I do with the waterfalls?

They don't fit in the shed!

Yes, I hear you.

No, not seven. Sixteen railroad cars. Right.

No, it's not expensive. Sell!

This is impossible! I can't hear a thing!

Good-bye. See you again soon, I hope.

Thank you, my dear lady. I hope to see you in Paris.

Here you are, miss. It would be a pleasure.

We had quite a nice time, didn't we?

My trip here was horrible. You simply can't imagine the heat.

Call me when you get in.

A kiss.

Good-bye, madame. Please keep in touch.

If you ever come to Sèvres, you have our address.

Hurry up.

Good-bye. Hope to see you again.

My address.

Good-bye. See you again soon.

Miss, you forgot your pictures.

I'm so glad to have them.

The major.

And...

another of Monsieur Hulot.
