"I've just finished ballasting the corpse" "That means you fill it with certain things because.." "You may not be aware that a corpse under water, swells up with air, see?" "So it tends to float to the surface" "You have to load it with ballast so it sinks." "You weight it with stones and other heavy stuff." "There's a ballast ratio for corpses... 3 times body weight for an average adult like this victim" "But for children and midgets it's different." "Kids are lighter." "So it's 4 times body weight." " What?" " Never had problems?" "No." "Midgets are heavier, so you double the weight." "For old people multiply by 5..." "Old bones are porous." " Hi, Mom!" " Goodness gracious!" "How's my little boy?" "This is Mom, that's Grandma, this is the store." "This is were i grow up." " Grandpa's not here?" " He's out." "He'll be back soon." "What time is it?" "Guess what..." " My Grandpa." "I've put up with her now for 53 years!" "Imagine it!" " Imagine the effort it took him?" "Guess who made the effort me or him?" "Hats off!" "I've put up with her now for 53 years!" "He was such a cheerful little boy." "Full of pranks, and blond as a field of wheat!" "Don't tease me, Papa." "Stop it or I'll cry!" "You ruin everything." "Benoit was such a delight." "A good boy?" "A darling!" "He was affectionate and sweet." "Laughing all the time, all the time." "What do you mean, "he was"?" "He's not anymore?" "You don't understand me, Papa!" "How they bickered!" "Like cats and dogs!" "Lights!" "I usually start the month with a postman." "I get up in the morning and spend it pinching pensions." "At the same time this allows me to locate old folks with money." "What I avoid are young couples." "They stink of poverty." "It's unpleasant!" "But old folks are loaded, that's for sure!" "I've never seen an old pauper." "Stingy, yes, but paupers, never!" "You watching me... or the kids?" "they have guns like me." "Not bad at all, these gadgets!" "Give me one." "Go on and play." "Hehe..." "No school today?" "That's the trouble with women." "Sure I've been hurt before." "I gave them something, they gave me something." "53 00:05:53,727 -- 00:05:56,241 But there comes a time... when you start to ask questions." "All on account of that little door." "In a couple, the door has to stay open" "And when it's open it's either to bring new nourishment... or it's to let you out." "Either you add a little seed and that seed can be a baby, a good time or a holiday..." "Or you get out, lock, stock and seed." "With women, you can't always tell if the door's open and if it's time to add a seed, or get the hell out." "I've been hurt because I'd open the door wide, and they shut it." "Love leaves a trail of sulfur... like some lingering smell." "As soon as you meet someone you smell it." "Like when you take a leak your fingers smell." "You have to wash them two or three times so you can forget you peed." "Watch me, I'll show you a trick." "As a kid they called me The Octopus." "Know why?" "Because i could make any part of my body ...move on it's own." "I'll show you." "All by itself." "Watch my nose." "Look." "Now my ears." "Watch closely." "See that?" "Look!" "Now the right one." "Now the left..." "See?" "I can make something else move,... but that's not for the camera!" "Turn it off, you jerk!" "Got home okay last night?" "No problem." "I figure you guys must have been bushed." "Throw the keys down?" "Or are you coming down?" "I'll throw the keys." "It's not the right key." "It's not this one." "Must be the other one." "Look who's here!" "Benoit!" "I'm so glad to see you!" "What a surprise!" "How've you been?" "Fine, Jenny." "I'm here with a camera..." "They're doing a thing on me." "Do you mind?" "Not at all." "Come in." "Don't stay out there." "So what's new?" "I had a rough time locating you." "94 00:09:29,647 -- 00:09:33,560 I thought you still lived at Sablon." "We were evicted by urban renewal." "Here's were we wound up." "Maurice gave me the address." "I'm so glad to see you!" "Goat anything to drink?" "My throat is dry." "What will it be?" "Some of your brandy." "What about your friends?" "Ask them." "What'll it be?" "Something cold." "And you, sir?" "A beer for me." "Brandy as well." "Coming up!" "That's my Jenny." "That's her, this is her world." "That's her in her prime, when she was a beauty." "She's still a beauty." "That's when I met her." "This is Jenny's bed." "I'll show you someting." "You can tan while you make love." "When you are through, you've got a brown ass!" "Ever seen anything like it?" "Bet not!" "What nonsense!" "Baloney, baloney,..." "Jenny used to live, I told you she moved..." "that's why we had trouble finding her." "She lived 30 years in the Sablon district." "Then some real estate developer I can't remember the name, but the hell with it... decided just like that to move in!" "Sure they could..." "The law's on their side." "We didn't own the house." "Anyway, they raised holy hell, threw everyone out" "But it was the way they went about it." "So, they told Jenny to move out..." "There was this little smart-ass, a vilgar little jerk, ...who had the nerve, to speak and behave rudely with Jenny." "The Sablon may have got a face-lift ...but one guy's no longer around to enjoy it." "It's only fair, if a member of the family is wronged..." "So I went and had a little talk with that fella..." "Answer it, he..." "I'll call you back, sweets, I'm still working." "Talk to you in a sec..." "Those bastards!" "A black night watchman!" "What a dirty trick!" "So you can't see him!" "Who'd ever sink so low?" "They'll stop at nothing!" "Poor kid, born under the sun!" "I bet he grew up under the baobabs, and here he is on a work site!" "It makes me sick." "They try to get away with murder!" "It's like this cement." "Hungarian probably." "Made to last temporarily" "You can be sure they use more sand then cement, too." "They pinch pennies, then the wall crack!" "The whole building crumbles!" "I once buried two Arabs in a wall over there..." "Facing Mekka, of course..." "In two years their assholes will see daylight!" "Let's sink this Mubutu." "A handsome fella to boot." "But I'm warning you, I won't touch him." "Why not?" "AIDS, Remy..." "AIDS." "Green Monkeys!" "Grab him by the galoshes, but I won't touch him." "But why's he in yellow if he's in camouflage?" "At least he had no dogs,... usually they have a pack of curs." "I hate them." "Blacks have a way with animals, you know." "That's a fact." "They know how to talk to them." "Here's our golden opportunity." "To see if that legend about their size is true." "Remy, pull his pants down." "We'll know in a jiffy." "Good Lord!" "He's really well hung." "You can wrap it up now, it's disgusting!" "The kid's barely 18 and already hung like a polar bear!" "Kids like that often work in nightclubs." "It's their livelihood." "He must have been a prude to take a job like this." "But some guys make a living with their organ." "Awful, isn't it?" "What's so funny?" "It sure won't make you a living!" "Here we are in a neighborhood of mostly senior citizens." "Planners design so-called low-cost housing." "Flats meant for young people, newlyweds setting up house," "For workers, for housewives, and maybe even the unemployed." "It's all part of the district renewal plan that aims to bring old folks out of isolation by mixing them... with the working population." "It's a great idea but what i don't like is" "and here's the rub- how can you design low cost housing projects in total disregard for aesthetics?" "I can't accept that, I'm sorry!" "They thought of planting Japanese cherry trees along the lanes, see?" "In the style of English beach resorts." "A truly grand idea, but did they do it?" "Did they do it?" "No." "Yes they did!" "But they didn't follow through." "That's the shame of it." "It was purely cosmetic." "Just to dazzle them, and people fell for it." "I followed it all, I saw how far their bright ideas went!" "What do you notice at first glance?" "What stands out?" "The red bricks!" "What's red bring to mind?" "Red is the color of blood, of Indians!" "It's the color of violence!" "And the scourge of society -as evryone agrees- is violence." "Red is also the color of wine..." "For wining and dining." "It's all about palm-greasing, dirty politicans and wheeling and dealing!" "It pains me!" "Wherever you take your camera..." "Folks would love to stop and say," ""What a lovely flowerbed, what powerful asymmetry!"" ""What a beautiful red hue of brick!"" "But they never get the chance." "Instead they sit in front of their TV sets." "If I'd been asked to design that kind of a layout" "I'd have planned ground-level homes with spacious lawns, a bit like Frank Lloyd Wright, in the style of Japanese houses." "Despite their faults, those people sure know how to live!" "You know,... emphasizing aesthetics is one thing, stressing the functionality is another." "Those guys overemphasize the functional unlike people like Gaudi who had a magnificent architectural style, a very organic style, forms that grow out of nowhere" "Or Horta who did such fabulous things, those great whiplash effects." "Sorry to disturb you, we're a television crew." "We're doing a report on loneliness in high-rise apartments." "Would you mind answering a few questions?" "Of course if it doesn't take too long." "I'll promise we'll be brief." "Come in." "You'll hardly notice us." "This is the crew." "211 00:17:19,047 -- 00:17:20,639 Sit down." "Go ahead." "Don't let the camera intimidate you." "Just act and speak naturally." "It bothers me none." "I was filmed once in Mons." "There was an army band concert." "I enjoyed that!" "That's fine, our subject is used to the camera." "Just fine." "May I ask my first question?" "Of course." "Tell me, Madam, among your friends and acquaintances,... does anyone visit you regularly?" "I have acquaintances... but I get along with everybody." "They call me Granny..." "Granny Snuff, ever been snuffed out?" "This is a special case." "When I came in, I immediately noticed the box of Sedocar." "You may not know this, but Sedocar is a drug for heart patients." "So I just freaked her out, ...which saves me a bullet." "It's so much easier on the neighbors, on me, and on her." "I like to try out new work methods." "She's fading fast now." "We may as well go straight to the heart of the matter." "Let's hit the jackpot." "Lift the tablecloth." "I'm gonna have a drink." "Help yourselves!" "There's plenty for all." "I know you're filming on a shoestring budget" "I believe in sharing, no problem." "Thanks, Ben." "Back to work, follow me and I'll show you." "I bet there's something under the bed." "I don't know, but I have a feeling about this room." "The little hog!" "Bingo!" "Now I'll show you something." "Here's the juwelry, glassware and stuff..." "The old lady whet my appetite." "Know what I'd like, Remy?" "A nice big plate of mussels, with lots of veggies, sauce and fries" "Where can you get mussels?" "A restaurant by the sea." "You're my guests for seaside dinner." "It's a 2-hour drive." "A big plate of mussels, ...some drinks." "It'll be a great evening." "Just to celebrate!" "What's wrong?" "What's the matter?" "Don't you like mussels?" "Sure I do." "Then why the blank look?" "Let's go." "I think Andre has to be home tonight." "You have to go home?" "I had other plans." "Then call home and let's hit the road." "Patrick?" "What about him?" "Without Andre there is no point..." "I'm the guy who should be invited!" "Let's paint the town red." "What if we went another time?" "They have commitments." "It's okay if I plan in advance." "It's nice of you, Ben." "Then come with me!" "I have no car." "We'll all go wome other time." "Okay, forget it." "I'll find a restaurant nearby." "Never mind, guys." "Het kan toch wel een andere keer?" "Maar natuurlijk." "It'll be for another time." "Sure, no problem, another time." "We'll have plenty of opportunities." "Sure we will." "Let me know when you need me." "Do you want a lift?" "Walking's good for the appetite." "We'll give you a lift." "I'd rather walk, for the appetite." "Thanks anyway, guys." "Remy, Andre hinted earlier that you might have trouble financing the rest of your film." "I'm naturally ready to share the cost of film." "I'd be delighted." "That's nice of you." "And if we have to work overtime, we'll do it." "We'll turn this film into an epic!" "A toast to the old lady." "White or red?" "Shall I chose?" "We'll have this one." "I'm afraid that's not the wisest choice today." "If you allow me..." "I'll allow you nothing!" "Take care of your face case, then you can make allowances!" "At times, crafty as a fox, ...at times, a little rascal, at times, a gangster, but generous as they come." "Whatever the amount you need, Remy," "Benoit will always, and I mean always, deliver." "Thanks, Ben." "In a kingdom by the sea, along clear gulfs," "and plump waves to stop the waves, and flying fish, gliding like gulls," "and plancton to your heart's content, and red salmon leaping from the heavens," "the sour yelly fish and purple seaweed, and the winter's kelp..." "Nothing shall stop me from calling your name..." "Sea, Sea, Sea," "O cruel mother," "Oh can you see..." "What are you waiting for, douchebag: high tide?" "We'd better go." "Bring us a mop, please." "I'm all right." "Must be bad mussels." "You don't feel sick?" "I'm okay." "Let's go home." "I'll pay and we'll leave." "Are you okay?" "Meet Valerie, thanks to her many worldly contacts she's given me a taste of various artistic circles." "Some of these circles are very closed." "Today we're in the world of painting." "I have a keen interest in that world." "This is a very nice Swedish exhibit." "Had a look?" "The Swedish are interesting..." "intensely sensitive." "An artist I really appreciate is Bernard Buffet." "Know his work?" "You know who I mean?" "He did a poster for Robert Hossein Heard of him, no?" "For a show called "The Life Of Jesus."" "It shows a big hand reaching up to the sky." "And the hand's meant to evoke Jesus." "The scarification and all that jazz." "Big hands, big drawings..." "A knockout!" "Hossein sure knows how to pick his collaborators." "You like Hossein?" "His shows are great." "Seen any?" "A great actor, too." "He's made a lot of movies." "He used to play dark romantic types in those old costume pictures." "Do you know Ben's trade?" "You can speak up, your silence is eloquent!" "Some trade!" "Doesn't it bother you?" "I don't pry into his work." "Everyone got to eat." "Besides, we are old friends." "Talking about Buffet, here it comes!" "Over this way." "Don't be afraid." "The camera makes him nervous." "Help yourselves to canapes." "I only eat the top part." "What note did you just play?" "Oh, it's an F sharp." "And what did you play?" "An F natural." "That's right, ducky." "In 4/4 time." "I met Valerie at the conservatory." "Keep in time." "You're playing too fast." "She must have been about 10." "She was..." "She had long dark briads right behind her ears, 345 00:27:37,127 -- 00:27:41,245 little white ankle socks and a little skirt." "She was always smiling, running here and there, always late." "We used to laugh about it." "I must have been 17 or 18, and I toke her under my wing right off." "She'd play minuets and short pieces for me." "I'd try to accompany her." "She went on to make a career for herself, as you know." "And I'm proud of her." "I changed instruments." "The piano?" "No." "The blunderbuss." "But it's like a horn, it needs polishing." "I think I hit him" "Where'd he go?" "In there." "He came this way." "Say, Remy smell something funny?" "What is it?" "Chickenshit." "We're warm." "Doomsday is near." "Come and look." "Up there by the skylight." "Look, Remy." "Look, Patrick." "It's a pair." "It's mating season." "Look at this feather." "It's oily." "The male secretes a pungent greasy substance, that lures the female." "That's Mother Nature." "Pigeon, winged cloak of grey," "In the city's hellish maw, One glance and you fly away," "Your grace holds me in awe." "Shit, shit, shit!" "Got a problem?" "I lost something." "My I.D. bracelet." "What?" "I lost my I.D. bracelet!" "Goddammit!" "Sentimental value?" "First Communion." "It's a pain losing it, huh?" "It was a pain to steal." "There aren't many kids around with my first name." "It's worth a small fortune." "I bought it with Dad." "Patrick?" "See anything?" "Nothing down here." "Remy?" "Look over the railing." "To the left." "It may have slipped off when i was holding the railing." "Here?" "Yes." "Don't see a thing." "Move up, I see something shiny." "Take a good look." "Go up two steps." "There's something shiny to your right." "Here?" "That's not it." "It's just a piece of metal." "This happened to me in Biarritz." "The only time..." "Find anything?" "...I went swimming with my signet ring, and lost it among the rocks." "No way of finding it, just like now." "I'd need a metal detector." "Got a zoom lens?" "Can you zoom in and find him?" "You okay?" "Sorry about your pal, it was an accident." "Stop it, kid, you start like that and it becomes a habit..." "That's revenge..." "Stop it." "Come on..." "I understand..." "Stop it." "I'll buy you a drink at Malou's." "I completely forgot about this one!" "Help me get him in the trunk." "Take his feet." "We'll make it a quick one, I'm beat." "Hi, Malou, how's life?" "Fine." "Not much action." "Not for now." "It'll pick up." "You got to have hope." "Here you go." "Thanks." "Seen anything worthwhile?" "I saw a real good boxing match." "The Moroccan featherweight..." "A massacre..." "He clobbered little Freddy." "They wipe us out everywhere, even in the ring!" "It's amazing!" "It's awful!" "Real quick on his feet, the little Moroccan..." "And I mean little!" "You weren't big in the ring yourself." "No, but I had a real wallop." "You sure did!" "Take the train station murder." "The restroom murder." "Who got the headlines?" "Who?" "Come on, who got the headlines?" "The dental mechanic!" "And the toilet attendant didn't even get a single line!" "Little guys don't make waves." "If you kill a whale, you get Greenpeace and Jacques Cousteau on your back!" "But wipe out sardines and you get a canning subsidy!" "I go for small fry." "What?" "You're afraid of the big fish." "You don't get it!" "Bug off!" "I'd rather talk to him." "I'm not afraid of big stuff, Remy, honestly I'm not." "I just don't like to make a fuss." "I hate making waves." "I work small and reap big!" "But I know the nice suburbs." "Any time you wanna go!" "Let's go then." "Whenever you like!" "Not tonight." "Because we lost our soundman and without him I don't feel up to it." "And I still have to dump the cabbie." "I'm going to the quarry, the canal's a drag." "This one's on me." "Anyway..." "The shooting is temporarily on hold." "Patrick, our soundman is dead." "Things like that are really hard to talk about and it may sound like a cliche but it's an occupational hazard." "We're all aware of that." "I think Patrick was." "And I think that we should continue the film because this is your film, Patrick." "That's all I wanted to tell you... that we are all thinking about you." "and Marie-Paule, the girl you just moved in with and who's carrying your child." "So long, Patrick!" "Bear up, Marie-Paule." "No, no, that one's much too big." "Too near the street." "Hold on a bit..." "Stop here, Remy." "You wanted a nice suburban home, take your pick." "All we have to do is wait." "We wait nice and quiet until dark." "Hand me a beer." "Who shook up the beers?" "I haven't always been..." "Check that out." "Ten years from now she'll be sucking dick like her mother." "Nature really does things right." "Amazing!" "And she doesn't even know yet!" "Doesn't even know the color of a cock." "Say, Remy, that reminds me..." "Aren't there a hell of a lot of gays in your trade?" "In show bizz?" "You oughta know, there are more in your trade then in most normal trades." "You can say what you want." "You don't mind me talking about it?" "Look at Charles Trenet." "Now there's a flagrant case for you." "Not?" "I wouldn't know." "I think they are all over the place, you know..." "It doesn't bother me personally." "You must know a few." "Like Cocteau?" "No, that's Jean Marais." "You must know some gays, Andre?" "No." "I was watching you three the other day." "You wouldn't happen to be gay?" "No kidding, Remy?" "Because I don't mind if you are..." "No?" "Close the door, Remy." "She'll calm down soon enough." "Catherine?" "Honey?" "Catherine." "Who was it, darling?" "Andre, Remy?" "Does this remind you of anything?" "Le Vieux Fusil." "Philippe Noiret." "A nice movie." "Franco, come here." "Stick the mike here." "That's my idea." "Fat Noiret didn't do that." "Noiret's put on weight." "Mommy!" "Mommy!" "I lost him." "Kid!" "Come on out!" "It's just for fun, kid!" "Come on, kid!" "You can't stay in the woods alone." "Put out your spotlight." "Put it out!" "Light, light." "Get him!" "What the fuck are you doing?" "Catch him, you morons!" "Dammmit, he's as turbulent as his mother!" "Remy, gimme a hand, get his arms and legs." "Filthy kid, goddammit!" "Hold his arms." "Do you kill many children?" "No." "You must have noticed, that I don't really have the knack in this departement." "This must be my second or third kid in five years" "Why?" "I don't like infanticide." "Kid's aren't good business, Remy." "In theory, they're not bankable, understand?" "You can still make something off him." "You mean kidnapping." "But I think it's more of a nuisance than anything else." "Especially when the media gets involved." "Now hold on, I'm not talking about you." "You're pretty discreet." "Congrats!" "That'll do it." "The little creep really had us going!" "Nothing here.We really blew it!" "I warned you about suburban homes." "There are credit cards." "Ypu might as well call the cops right now." "Go on." "There's the phone." "This is bullshit!" "We are running out of cash for film." "What?" "And we are running out of cash for film." "Th problem's not cash." "That, I have." "It's those 3 innocents." "There oughta be a law." "Well I'm..." "I'm not..." "I'm not a lunatic." "It's a shame to let big houses fall into neglect like this." "Throw a coat of paint on the walls and mirrors - and it's Versailles!" "Could be, but it'll take more coats than you think." "Your bad breath is something awfull, Remy." "You shouldn't talk under people's noses, because it's really unpleasant." "Watch out for the window, Andre." "Stop bumping into things." "Really!" "I don't know why, but all day long you stink like a billy-goat... when you talk loud under people's noses." "Don't mind the mess." "How much you need this time?" "How much?" "10,000" "10,000!" "Dammit, you spend it faster than I can make it, Remy." "Let me tell you something, Remy, your spotlight gets on my tits." "Sorry, but there's not enough light." "I know, but yesterday with the kid, it blinded me and disrupted my work." "I'm sorry." "Sure, you're sorry." "Here, for your bad breath - have a candy." "Right before he died, I told him," ""Come on we've got enough footage, we've got enough sound."" "And he said," ""We'll never have enough."" "He was a charming boy... who wouldn't compromise..." "We are all thinking of you, Franco." "And this film's dedicated to you." "And I'm thinking of Marie-Paule, your girlfriend who is carrying your child." "Ricardo Giovanni, alias the Nightingale, capable but dissolute, much too dissolute." "Like all Mediterraneans." "Come on out!" "Holy shit!" "A camera crew." "Know'em?" "I'm a director." "This is my team..." "Holy smoke, Andre!" "Get a load of the big camera!" "This is fancy material." "Not interested?" "No, it's video." "And what's ours?" "Film." "Let's take advantage of our luck, Remy." "This one is for you." "That makes 68 francs and two times 23, is 46." "O nn, three times." "And one time 20." "Here you go." "Do you have any room, sir?" "I'll give you a bag." "For once we have something to celebrate..." "Don't tell her!" "I'll have some..." "Well, it's a French drink..." "Malaga wine." "There is none." "Some Muscat." "There's no Muscat." "No alcohol?" "None at all." "A Coke?" "That, I have." "Ice cold." "No thank you." "Grandma's not here?" "She's in the store." "But I can still have something else." "What?" "What I had with Hugues." "Port wine." "But that is..." "Be carefull, he's not allowed to drink." "Don't give him a drink." "He shouldn't." "Why not?" "He's been sick." "What did he have?" "He had vascular spasms." "He could get a heart attack." "So be carefull." "He musn't overdo it." "One glass..." "He forgets, too." "He forgets what he drinks, and that makes it even worse." "Understand?" "He doesn't realize it." "You promise?" "I have two pairs of panties of Brigitte Bardot's." "The fellow was in raptures." "But I told him it's 200 francs a pair." "In those days, 200 francs, was a lot for the time." "So we make a deal." "But I still had to pick up the panties at the department store." "I buy the panties, I rumple them, I come back." "You bought 2 pairs?" "Two pairs?" "No, just one..." "So I give him one and I say, "here are the panties."" "And I get my 200 francs." "So for 200 francs, I sold Brigitte Bardot's panties." "In those days, that's at least 1,000 francs nowadays." "He still thinks it's her real panties?" "I think he does." "I recently asked himm if he still had them." "He says, "I still got'em."" "It's a true story." "I think the chubby one there was Grandma's sister." "Switch on the lights, Remy." "These old films are just charming." "Just charming." "Grandpa didn't do so badly with his tiny material." "I love watching them." "You're gonna break'em." "Let's go downstairs before you break everything." "What did I tell you!" "I think..." "I've had enough." "Do you want an orange?" "No, I don't like fruit." "They killed a child..." "But just before they killed his parents." "So he saw his parents being killed." "Can you imagine?" "I swear if they did that to a child of mine, I'd slaughter him." "And with me, there'd be no trail." "I'd be judge and jury myself!" "Has roger been around the ring lately?" "Who?" "Roger!" "Haven't seen him in a while." "Why?" "I hear he's boxing again." "I don't know what happened." "Kalifa?" "Tell the gentleman how you got your job here." "Mr Benoit got it for me." "You haven't come to see me in a while." "What?" "I didn't know." "I can't hear you." "I didn't know where you were, sir." "And no kiss from Benichou?" "He doesn't look happy to see me." "The boy looks pale." "Come and see me after the fight." "I'll give you some money." "Buy him a new satchel." "And buy yourself some shoes." "You look like a gypsy." "Thank you, Mr Benoit." "Film lovers!" "Film lovers, good evening!" "Tonight, for one showing only..." "My big dick!" "You're not gonna start that again?" "Filmlovers, a slight change in program..." "You're gonna see Malou's great big tits." "Malou!" "Your tits!" "Cut it out, Ben!" "You've gone far enough." "Okay, okay." "I've had it with your grossness." "What'll it be, Remy?" "Another one." "A Dead Baby Boy." "No more beer, you're having a Dead Baby Boy." "And the new guy?" "A screwdriver." "You're having a Dead Baby Boy with the rest of us!" "Malou!" "Four Dead Baby Boys!"
