Liar!

All Liar!

Liar!

What's going on?

Courgette?

Courgette, answer when mom calls!

Hey, Courgette?

Yes mom?

Who is going to clean this up? Mummy?

Courgette!

This wasn't my intention.

I'm sorry.

What should I do with you?

You'll regret this!

Please don't, Mom! This will hurt!

No!

MY LIFE AS A COURGETTE

BRIGADE 3 - Reasons for engaging

And how old are you, my boy?

Nine.

Was your mommy nice to you?

Hm...yes.

She drank a lot of beer.

But her Potato fries were delicious,

and sometimes we had fun.

Yes.

And sometimes not?

All right. Where is your father?

Here.

And that's his chicken.

Mom always said, he liked chickens very much.

Good.

I'll take you to a place

where children like yourself,

are without a daddy and a mommy.

But I have a mom.

Your mom is no longer there, Icare.

My name is Courgette!

Courgette...

Did your mom call you that?

Hm.

My name is Raymond.

Did your mom call you that?

Yes.

Shall we let your kite fly high?

Come along, my boy.

Good morning, Monsieur.

Good morning, Madam Director.

This is Icare.

But he rather call him, Courgette.

Courgette?

That's what his mother called him,

so it's important for him.

Right, my little one, come on.

Welcome to "The Fountains".

Courgette.

Don't worry...here you go.

I'll come to see you.

Goodbye, Madame. Goodbye, Monsieur.

Are you coming?

Rosy will show you, your room.

COURGETTE

The big drawer is where you can put your things.

Look here.

I'll let you know. This is your bed.

Is everything OK?

Put your things. I'm waiting in the hallway.

Good morning, Madame!

Children, this is your new classmate:Icare.

Courgette. Oh, excuse me.

Your new classmate:Courgette.

Probably like Potatoes, at the Visage! Quite, Simon!

Quite, quite children!

Thank you. Well, I'll leave now.

See you later, Monsieur Paul. See you later.

Sit down, my boy.

Go on.

The cow is a ruminant.

This means that it ruminates.

It eats the grass for the first time,

but without chewing it. Then it chokes it up and chews in peace.

We don't know exactly, why the cow...

Welcome to prison, Potato!

Potatoes sit on hot coal!

There's still a lot many pores in him after so much drilling!

Let me be, Simon!

Get another chair!

Why, Potato, why are you here?

Huh?

Come on! Tell me!

Why were you brought here?

Wait a moment! Those are Potatoes on your plate!

Potato eats Potatoes!

Isn't that bizarre? Potato is a cannibal.

It's enough, Simon!

Your parents threw you out. They wanted to get rid of you.

A rotten Potato!

Off the compost!

Stop it!

Keep your mouth shut!

Look, Alice is on the vibration alarm.

You and your plaster!

That was Rosy. I had a headache.

You're annoying with your fork!

I'm getting out, why you are here?

I'll get me out!

Another autist!

Time to sleep!

Everyone get in the dorm!

Good night, guys. Beautiful dreams!

Go to bed right now!

Courgette is already asleep.

Ahmed, did you pee?

Uh...I believe so.

Do you believe so or did you? I believe so.

You're really crass, man!

Yeah, you're really crass, man!

Ahmed, the girl who wets her bed! Quite!

Come on! He has hew me.

Kisses to all and light off!

Good night! Thank you.

Until tomorrow.

Is Potato asleep?

No, Potato isn't sleeping.

Nor will his eye.

The kite's really high!

Let it go, please!

Did you see how it flies?

Hey! Let go!

Oh yeah? And what else are you doing?

And did you get your magic wand out, Harry Potato?

Harry Potato? Such nonsense!

Brawl, brawl!

Do it all!

Kung-Fu-Courgette!

Never touch my kite again, am I clear?

No, that's not clear.

Do that once again, and I'll break your arm!

Courgette has muscles!

He's crazy! His types are really strong.

We were playing soccer, he came from behind...

and he tackled me.

Courgette? Won't you saying anything?

I want to go home to my mom.

Please wait outside, Simon.

That cannot be done, Courgette.

Your mom is gone, she's in heaven.

But here you will be fine.

I promise you.

Hey, Potato!?

Courgette?

My parents were on drugs.

Both of them.

The whole time.

That's why I'm here.

Tell me why you're here?

I know all about it.

I know it files through the heart.

Do you see Bea? Her mother was expelled,

to Africa, when Bea was at school.

Jujube's mother keeps the fridge on.

Click klack, Click klack...all the time.

Or she is cleaning the toilet for weeks.

She is a total lunatic.

Come on, I'm here. Shoot!

Ahmed's father got caught in a holdup.

Do you believe that?

In a gas station, to get him a Nike!

Shall I call Rosy?

Alice's father did nasty things, disgusting stuff.

Don't know exactly what.

Alice has nightmares every night.

But, now he is in prison.

I think, I killed my mom.

But I didn't want that.

Wasn't my intention.

We are all the same.

There's no one who loves us.

So...in the morning we get up.

And then Ahmed takes his time to pee.

Then we wash ourselves.

Except Simon. He always pretends to take a shower.

And Jujube eats the toothpaste.

His mother said, that it was healthy.

There, the orangutan.

The Gorilla.

The Chimpanzee.

Mr.Paul teaches us about people, who were there before us.

They lived, when there was no soap.

They never showered.

Like Simon!

Monsieur!

And then Jujube asks, whether he could go to the first-aid room,

because of the toothpaste.

In the play time we play "Cro-Magnon People".

Good. Excellent. Seems funny.

Yes, it's funny.

What is it, my boy?

It wouldn't be so funny, hadn't you visit.

You think I come here because I have to?

Don't know, this is your job.

No, this is not my job. I come here because I like you.

I like you too.

Oh! Hey!?

They don't like policemen.

Ahmed believes, you put his father in prison.

Good morning, Madame!

Mum!

What does she want from me?

Come on, wake up!

Come on, I've got to go.

Well...

She sure is a rough brush!

Oh! No!

She will be safe in her room.

My poor little treasure!

It's hard, very hard!

No, she's not here?

Then she is safe in the yard.

My name is Camille. (My name is Courgette)

My name is Courgette.

Hey, newbie, tell me, why you are here?

Are you the boss here? Exactly.

So everyone must obey you? Yes. That's right...

so that you can talk to girls.

Good.

I'm here...

because of my mother.

Every morning...

I had to...

dress like a dinosaur to go to school.

Really?

Hey, what's this nonsense?

Watch out, don't laugh.

I like dinosaurs very much.

You are spastic!

Bye, boss!

Simon! What is it, Sparrow?

Can I ask you something?

Do you know how things go? What things?

The thing with boys and girls...

I know by heart, my parents had movies.

It was quite devious.

You move like this...

and the girl also moves, and then...

Bang! As in? He explodes?

Exactly, he explodes. No! Seriously, Simon!

I mean, you're totally intrigued.

Man, I'm tired! And the girl?

She sweats totally and says, she agrees.

She says, "Oh yes, yes, yes...", like that.

Ah!

How come you aren't saying anything, Courgette?

Courgette?

He has a crush, that's why.

Really? Do you have a crush?

That's just bull!

You look miles on miles, that you've a crush on Camille.

I would just like to know, why she is here.

Well, that's because of the thing with dinosaurs.

I know why she is here.

Do you really want to know?

Are you sure? Shh!

And what if we get caught? Do you want to know or not?

Yes.

Here, stop.

I have it!

Interesting.

So...she killed a guy.

Because he was in love with her.

What?

If I were you, I'd be careful.

She has a problem with guys with vegetable seeds.

The guy was called "A Carrot".

Stop it! Are you scared, huh?

In real, her father killed her mother.

Because she loved someone else.

And then...

He killed himself. Show me.

Camille saw it all.

Here, look.

Yes, that's right.

It can be seen in her eyes,

that she saw everything.

CHILDREN'S WEATHER Simon - Alice - Ahmed - Jujube - Bea - Courgette - Camille

Camille? Camille?

Jujube, look!

This is called preparation.

If Rosy and Monsieur Paul were in bed,

she would sweat ten times more, and he would explode.

Is that right, Simon? That's right.

Disgusting! No, he's just in love.

He presses her tightly, so that she doesn't run away.

Oh yes!

Children, ready for the first snow?

Monsieur! Yes, Ahmed.

I have a question. Are you still healthy?

What are you talking about?

If he explodes, we didn't come for the snow.

What's this? Tell me, Potato!

Don't touch that! He's an Alki!

Give it back! That's my mom's keepsake.

Don't touch that! Calm down.

Quite cold out here!

Who is thirsty? I am! I am! I am!

Be good, alright?

Your glasses are really cool!

I even see myself in them.

Did you want to try these on? Yes!

Wow! That's lovely!

Why did you do that?

Little thief!

Where is your mother?

Gone, with a man. She'll never see me again.

And your father? In prison.

A thief and a liar!

No, I'm not lying. Not lying Madame.

Come on sweetheart. Let's go.

I am not a liar. I don't lie!

Come on!

Cool!

Watch out!

We are faster than you.

Look!

His mummy is pretty.

Maybe that's not his mom.

* I want to be a polar bear, in the cold polar * * Then I would no longer scream *

* Everything was so clear *

Hey, are you asleep?

No.

And you? Are you asleep?

Neither am I.

And you?

Still haven't.

Shh! Come on over!

I have something for you. For your birthday.

I had my birthday already. Three months back we didn't know each other.

I couldn't give you anything. Here.

Wow!

How did you know, when was my birthday?

I went through Madame Papineau's office.

Then you know everything.

Uh...yeah.

When my parents passed on, I went over to my aunt's.

She brought me here the other day.

She is a nasty witch.

When we were alone, she would cry on a stretch.

Now...in here, the home it's good.

Sometimes I dream it were still great and I live with my mom.

She still talks to herself and drinks beer.

And I too, drink a lot.

Fortunately, that this will never happen.

Had I not come here, I would have never known you.

Where had you been?

Did you explode?

We were in the snow, as we leave tomorrow.

I don't want to go back! The snow was in my dream.

That and the sledge.

You lot! Let's snowball! Girls versus boys!

Watch out!

We have no more ammunition.

Hello, Raymond, I'm fine.

Something great happened.

Here, Ahmed, gently lay your hand on it, then you can feel it.

Rosy is expecting.

Do you feel it? Yes.

That was Monsieur Pauls Pimmel's doing, I believe.

We thought she went away.

But she says, it would be our little brother.

We will call him Spiderman.

Spiderman! Spiderman! Spiderman...

I'm looking forward to seeing you.

Oh, yes! I wanted to tell you something else...

The new girl is called Camille.

362, 363, 364, 365, 366...

What is your record? My record is 747.

You're good. My goal is 1000.

I read the world record was 27,075.

That girl jumped for 13 hours.

Really? Not bad.

347, 348, 349, 350, 351, 352...

3, 2, 1.

Mum!

What does she want here?

Camille?

I don't understand. She refuses to see you.

What!?

I saw you, Spastic! What are you doing?

Nothing.

What is in that letter?

A letter from my mom.

Open it up.

I like to open letters, give it to me.

Wow! An MP3 player! You're so lucky!

Is there a letter? No.

I'm sorry.

Did she say that?

Unfortunately...it's the shock.

She wants her poor mother. Don't betray...

Yes. This tragedy was a terrible shock.

Have patience.

I will leave her here for as long as necessary, until she crawls up to me.

After the weekend then. Hm.

That's mean! Disgusting!

Come on.

What's wrong with you?

We saw Camille's aunt. She is really nasty!

Poor Camille! I don't want her to live with such a thing.

Luckily she doesn't have to go. But! Madame Papineau said...

What?

But...I don't understand.

Why does she want you to live with you, if you don't like her?

Because of the money. When I live with her, she gets a lot of money.

If I am there, I'll kill myself.

Or I'll kill her.

I will not let you go.

Mum!

Are you ready? Are we going?

I'm sorry...Yes. Yes. They don't like policemen.

Wait here. I'll tell Madame Papineau about this.

This is heavy! Really heavy!

Hurry up!

Next time I'm spanking that kid!

Your bag is huge.

Here we go!

Well, do you have anything to say?

Like, about the girl, you had written...

How is she like?

Not bad.

No more...?

In your letter you did sound enthusiastic,

her hair...

her hair is soft,

long...

And she has eyes, the stomachache.

What color are they?

What is this circus?

I wanted to take her with me. Then you should have said so!

Her aunt does not want her!

We must turn around. No!

If I go back to my aunt, she would hit me.

OK! OK!

I still need to call the home.

Yes?

Yeah, well.

Yes, Monsieur, good.

I'll talk to her aunt.

Are you alright, Courgette?

I used to live there.

Do you want to go?

What is it?

That is when my mother measured my height.

That was when I was standing.

That is when my father left.

And that...I don't know any more.

In any case you have grown beautifully.

GHOST TRAIN

Be careful, Raymond!

Caution, head down!

I'd be a bad cowboy.

Give it to me.

Wow! You are so cool!

We had a gun at home. Like in the Western?

My father taught me how to shoot.

He was...

and...

Yes, I know.

We'd like to get the biggest teddy, Madame.

Pretty, your children! These are not my...

Thank you.

She left with Courgette. Courgette?

With Icare and a policeman.

A courgette, a policeman? Why is that?

She was hiding...A policeman who steals children!

A great man!

She was hiding in the car. He did not know.

She did not want to spend the weekend with you.

But she must spend the weekend with me!

Where does this man live? Be reasonable, madam.

It's Camille's will.

Since when do children have a will?

I'll get her off him.

Madam, excuse me! Excuse me.

Could you please give this to Camille?

What is this supposed to be?

Eh... her lucky charm.

She forgot.

Ah, your fortune-teller! Of course!

Yes!

Is that you when you were young?

No, this is my son. You have a son?

Yes, but he lives far away. I can't see him anymore.

Sometimes the children leave their parents.

Shall we continue the tour?

Wow!

This is a jungle! I love to grow things.

Are we sleeping here?

Is that right? Yes!

Stop it!

You know, on the bus...

I hadn't slept.

You are not in bed!

And Ferkeleien will do it!

Come on, baby, off we go home!

A kidnapper boy, incredible!

Let me go!

Let her go, madam! I'll report this.

Camille did not want to see you. She has her reasons.

I will report this! She's coming with me!

The judge will set you right.

That wasn't a good idea. I am hallucinating.

The French fries talked to me.

And what does it say to you? It said, "Eat me, eat me, fatso!"

What's going on here?

Didn't you eat?

Don't you like the taste?

We'll be on a hunger strike, until Camille returns.

She will come back.

The judge will decide, whether her aunt may keep her or not.

Dear Camille,

Since you left, it's no longer funny.

Our hunger strike was a riot.

Beatrice's mother came by.

Bea escaped with Rosy.

I want to stay with you.

And Ahmed has gone back to bed.

What...

1.2. 1.2.

This is Simon. If you hear me, raise your arm.

No, the other one.

I'm sorry, that's a silly joke.

Now that everything is so bad.

Listen carefully.

You're a witch just like your mother.

Your nonsense is very convenient for me...Camille!

for the Judge to like.

You dug your own grave, dummy.

Mr.Richter, I care for an excellent education,

A healthy environment, comfort and above all, love.

I love her like my own daughter. Hm...mm.

We understand each other, right?

She doesn't seem very enthusiastic.

That is understandable, after the trauma experienced...

She certainly has the will to leave her mother.

Camille, what do you say? Would you like to go to your aunt?

You will admit, after this incident

I am rightly concerned, about her safety.

Here, where ever anything goes under and over.

You're a witch like your mother.

With tear out, be ashamed!

There is chaos in the home.

This will not please the judge.

Give it to me!

Stop, stop!

You dug your own grave, dummy.

What are you dressed up like, Alice? A pirate.

And you? A mummy.

And you, Beatrice? As Camille.

What do you have for magic? Do you make vegetables to grow?

What are you dressed like? A Spastic?

To be clear...who saved you?

And he is disguised as a bull.

For starters, I still don't like it.

But I'll keep the cap.

When are you coming back? Soon.

How soon?

You know, I have spoken to the judge.

I would like to be your host family.

For you and Camille.

Does that mean we're your guests? Yes.

And you will be like our family, even though you are alone?

Yes, I will.

You get to go to my house.

It will be your home.

If you want to.

Does Camille know? Yes, the judge has spoken to her.

What did she say?

I don't know. Consider it between you both.

You and Camille. Huh?

That's it. See you soon, my boy.

See you soon, Raymond!

I wish to thank all. You saved my life.

Especially Simon. Thank you.

I would not have thought,

that life could be so cool. With you it's really cool here.

We stay together all our lives! Cool!

No, it's not true. We can't stay together.

Camille and Courgette are leaving. And the bull too!

(SALUT A TOI BY BERURIER NOIR)

* Hi you Algerian * * Hi you the Tunisian *

* Hey you Bangladesh * * Hey you Greek people *

* Hey you Chilean * * Hey you the Malian p'tit *

Hey, Simon!

Simon...

We're not leaving, Simon.

We want to stay here.

It would be unjust if we left. It's nice here, all together.

Simon...

You must get away.

It's rare someone adopts such great children like us.

You must get away for us.

Do you understand?

A bull and a superhero hug each other!

Is already crass, right?

Simon, a bit further to the left!

OK then.

Don't move!

Stop the nonsense!

This is a real photo!

Attention! Smile!

Yes!

So then, you already off, Super-Courgette?

Goodbye!

We're racing. Whoever comes last,

washes my underpants till the end of his life.

Alright! Go.

This is the day with you, My children.

Do you like it?

You alright, Camille? Yes.

I don't know why I'm crying.

Sometimes one cries because one is glad.

Right, Raymond?

Yes...

Dear Simon,

You said, Home is for the them, who have no one to love.

You were wrong. We haven't forgotten you.

And others won't.

He opened his eyes.

He doesn't want to let go.

What's his name? Antoine.

Nice name. Spiderman would've been better.

Will he stay here with us?

No.

Except, if you put him out. Certainly not!

Even if he is ugly?

Even if he smells of poop?

Even if he cries all the time?

Even if he goes to bed? Or cry lousy tunes?

Even if he's stupid? Or eat like a piglet?

Even if he forgets his name and his feet stink?

Even if he is unbearable and constantly screaming?

Even if he farts?

Even if he scribbles on the walls? Or wants to be goto Africa?

Even if...Even if he has a giraffe neck?

Even if he is punk?
