"You're listening to your village radio." "It is now 8:00 AM, and it is 25C on a beautiful sunny day." "This is Gaétan, your devoted servant, from the community hall in Saint Jude, the patron of lost causes." "Pray for him, he's very busy." "Let's talk about paving the lower road, which is just below the upper road, behind the woods." "There's also the annual contest for the nicest garden that is coming very soon." "What will the judges prefer... annuals or perennials?" "Will the smells be taken into consideration?" "We'll talk about all these hot subjects after this." "Hi, Ma'am." "Sorry to bother you." "Anyone come asking for me?" "Réal." "My name's Réal Bataille." "Anyone come by for me?" "I don't know anyone by that name." "We don't need anything, thank you." "A room." "What is it?" "Sorry, it's me again." "I'd like to leave a message." "Yeah?" "What can we do for you?" "I'm waiting for someone." "Can I leave him a message?" "Excuse me..." "Hey!" "You know..." "Won't be long." "Happy birthday, buddy!" "Sorry I'm late." "François Lachance, damn !" "You didn't used to be that tall!" "I'm stunned." "Same old guy." "Réal Bataille..." "Mary Hunt has a nice cunt." "Jane Kravits has big tits." "Are you hot?" "I'm hot alright." "You didn't come on foot." "Not too cozy, but it's fast." "Sorry, I had no time to get you a gift." "That's okay, don't worry." "Where did you come from?" "California." "You?" "When did you get here?" "Yesterday." "Hello, Sir." "Mister..." "Simoneau?" "If I remember well?" "What do you want?" "My folks sold you the house 15 years ago." "I'm François Lachance." "This house, and this beautiful garden, it's much nicer now, is where I spent... my quiet childhood and my turbulent teens." "You want to visit the house, right?" "That's not why my buddy and I are here today." "Get to the point, I got things to do." "Maybe they're journalists here for the contest." "They could also be real estate agents." "Antoine doesn't care, they're leaving." "They'll be back." "He's waving." "Antoine's waving at you !" "Friendly." "Like a prison door." "Let's go." "Where you going?" "My bike." "We'll get it tomorrow." "You're driving." "You want me to drive..." "Try my toy." "You drive a tractor?" "Well it's not the same at all." "Careful girls, he's not used to this." "Move over." "Keep a safe distance, please." "Don't see this too often !" "Is it ever disgusting." "The States are the kings of scrap, but this good... only in Quebec." "A fucking good "poutine"." "You don't get it too often in L.A.?" "Sushi every day must be boring." "You bet." "What about you?" "Nothing much." "I live in Montreal." "I left soon after you." "Didn't get my letters?" "I moved so often, you know." "What do you do?" "I didn't become as rich as you." "I'm a fireman." "Fireman?" "My buddy Réal, a fucking hero!" "That's a good one!" "A fireman !" "Come on fireman, let's go." "Why didn't you answer?" "That's what counts!" "We're here like we agreed." "Come on !" "It's going to bust." "There, it's broken." "Oh no!" "My brand-new suit!" "I'll buy another one." "My ass hurts." "I need a good massage." "Give me a massage." "François, get off!" "Say "uncle", say "uncle"." "Give me a nice "uncle"." "Uncle." "I missed you, you bastard." "Let's go celebrate!" "We'll throw rocks at Picard's." "Picard's dead." "No shit!" "Didier!" "Didier!" "D-l-D-l-E-R, Didier!" "Hi there, buddy!" "I'm you're buddy?" "He's still upset about that Cadorette girl." "It's on me, for old times!" "Booze for everybody!" "François Lachance." "So, Didier..." "This still a strip joint?" "I look like a stripper?" "This is a respectable place." "Really?" "You didn't say that back then." "You in Hollywood?" "Yeah, and I get paid for lying." "What do you do in Hollywood?" "You're not an actor." "No, I divorce actors." "I'm a lawyer." "I divorce girls like that one on the poster." "Colleen Baxer, "DOGS IN L.A."?" "I divorced her." "$250,000 in commission in my pocket." "And a real slut." "François... fuck!" "I swear." "A real slut." "You got any imported beer?" "No." "Give me a Corona." "Or a Black, I'm not a racist." "So what brings you guys here?" "July 15th 2000... is when we promised to meet, 15 years ago." "And we're here." "Another Y2K story." "It's Réal's birthday!" "He's 33!" "Christ's age!" "Come here, let me kiss you." "How about that..." "love birds." "Who's the handsome lunch... wasting his money on booze for the guys?" "Lachance..." "François Lachance." "And you?" "Elena." "You want to feel?" "You bet." "Not bad." "Not bad... sexy." "What's..." "You lose, you pay." "He loses, he pays the round." "That's the rule." "Count your pennies, the next one's on you." "You all knew about it, you bastards." "She hates losing." "She chooses her men." "She didn't miss you." "Oh no!" "To your health, my man." "Don't worry... we didn't come for nothing." "She got you good." "Fucking slut, it still hurts." "Where's the map?" "The light, the light!" "Hey, you !" "You'll see, I'll bring you a hen." "François, get up, it's 1 :00." "I'm not sore anymore." "What did you do?" "It's Didier's girl." "Come on." "Really?" "Good morning, Sir." "Hello!" "How are you?" "Nice day, isn't it?" "It's supposed to be like this all week." "We came for the same reason as yesterday." "Your garden's very important, there's the contest, we hope you win." "We looked around and... the flowers look better here than anywhere else." "Did you consider my offer?" "What offer?" "Well... that there's always a solution." "We can compensate you, money-wise, for any damage caused to your land." "We have a map." "Here." "Look, it's quite simple." "It's next to that tree." "Let's say... fifty bucks." "For a tiny little hole." "Okay, you're tough." "I like that." "$75, end of discussion, and we're gone in 15 minutes." "My horoscope says that..." "today is a bad day for business." "Really?" "What's your sign?" "Dollar sign." "That's funny!" "Dollar sign." "Seems like we both talk the same language." "So... $200" "It's my last offer." "A hole, a square foot." "One foot by one foot, not an inch more." "Perfect." "Thank you very much." "Sorry." "One hundred... two hundred dollars." "Come on." "What is it?" "Two hundred bucks!" "Maybe the old man hired them for the contest." "Describe them." "One's tall, square, the adventurous delinquent type." "He's holding a map." "But not much method." "The other one... young motivated millionaire... but a bit lost." "The treasure, that's what they're looking for." "Their treasure." "Or a cadaver." "They're exhuming a corpse that holds a secret buried with it." "What's that?" "Do you have a shovel?" "No, I don't." "There you go." "Why should I have one?" "You got a car." "A car without a shovel is not a car." "Wake up, I live in L.A..." "I don't shovel slush anymore." "Give me that." "Come on..." "What a shitty knife!" "My knife!" "You broke my knife!" "I'll buy you another one." "I've had it for 10 years." "I said, I'll buy you another one!" "What will you do now?" "Use your teeth?" "There's a solution." "Here you are, Mister." "You'll do a neat job, right?" "Thanks." "Here, that's yours." "It's kind of you." "Thanks again." "You see..." "I told you." "Of course, François is always right." "Not my fault..." "I was born that way." "Come on !" "Give me that before you get hurt." "Look at that!" "I'd make her another one." "She's pregnant." "So, I'd make her another one." "You'd sleep with a pregnant woman?" "You bet!" "You wouldn't?" "Hi, grandma!" "Hi, sweetie!" "Smells good." "Yeah." "You okay?" "Is that their car?" "Tell her it's not her business." "Here sweetie, come have some fresh bread." "Sit down." "What's she doing looking like that?" "What're they doing?" "Don't know." "How come you don't know?" "You don't know what they're digging for?" "It could be dangerous." "Maybe they're looking for drugs, or stolen money." "Think so?" "No..." "They're nice." "Nice, nice... still." "Tell her to butt out." "Ask her how she'll feed her child, without a father." "I bet we'll have to take care of it." "Did I ask him anything?" "Tell him to butt out." "My life, my baby, my ass, and my problem." "She's starting." "He's starting." "And I'll finish." "Wait 'til she shows up... with a ring in her nose and one up her ass!" "Well, I'm off." "I hope they're paying enough to break up his land like that." "I don't know if he knows, but..." "You got to be a millionaire to own a Ferrari." "It wasn't that deep." "Right." "Actually, I think it was east of the tree." "There?" "The map's wrong." "Remember, we argued that night." "I remember being totally bombed when I drew it." "I remember it like it was yesterday." "East." "It's east, I'm sure." "Let's go." "We should tell the old man first." "Let's say 2 feet... by 2 feet." "2 feet by 2 feet at $200 a square foot..." "is $800." "It's a joke?" "$800 for that?" "Yeah, plus... a foot by a foot, that makes a $1,000... less the $200 you gave me, leaves a balance... of $800, payable now." "Fine." "I'll give you a check if you give me a bill." "No problem." "I'd have paid a lot to be a little rabbit." "You won't give him all that money..." "for a hole?" "That's ridiculous!" "What's money?" "It's only paper." "$1000 isn't nothing!" "It's 4 times my bike!" "I told you, money's my problem." "Cool it." "That isn't it." "A bundle for a stupid hole." "He's laughing, he's stinging you." "I wouldn't blow a $1,000 that way." "What would you have done with $1,000, buddy?" "I don't know, something smart, at least." "Giving him $1,000 for a hole means I'm not intelligent?" "Don't play word games, you know what I mean." "Do what you want, it's your money." "That's what I thought." "I shovelled enough nostalgia for a day." "See you at the Motel." "Antoine..." "What could have so much value?" "None of our business." "Alright." "Have you a goal in life?" "A goal?" "Yeah, a goal." "Like in hockey?" "Coming to dinner?" "I'm broke." "My treat." "From now on, no more talk of money, okay?" "If you had some, you'd invite me." "Come on !" "Sorry." "Are you closed?" "No, it's alright." "Lachance!" "Sylvie!" "You son of a gun, you're back!" "You didn't wait for me." "You kidding?" "Louis, come and see!" "Meet an old friend of mine!" "Boy did he hurt my feelings." "The one on the left?" "The other one." "Who's she?" "Sylvie?" "Yeah." "From Saint Chrysostome..." "She dated your uncle." "Except... she was sleeping with me on the side." "That your car?" "Yeah." "You must've screwed a lot of people for it." "Oh yeah !" "He's crazy!" "Want to drink?" "A beer?" "Sure." "Any red wine?" "No, just beer." "Bring me a beer anyway." "Alright." "So... what're you doing here?" "That's a long story." "I love long stories." "Sorry, but I'm not very good with stories." "You're the ones who are digging up Antoine's garden?" "What're you looking for?" "Look at him." "He makes friends with anybody." "My boyfriend isn't anybody." "That's not what I meant." "I'm teasing you." "François, come over here!" "Come on !" "Tell me what you do to afford a car like that." "Sweetie, I am the hottest divorce lawyer in Beverly Hills, to the rich and famous." "You married?" "Of course." "I didn't know." "Wait a minute, everything in it's own time." "Here." "Quite the babe!" "She's much too skinny!" "That's your wife?" "Got a real photo?" "This is one." "Got any children?" "They stink, they cry... useless." "Anyway I got fixed." "I prefer driving a convertible." "A convertible!" "You're sick!" "The rate for digging's set." "I won't budge." "You'll have to start paying so I can start fixing it up." "The contest is coming." "No problem." "I know you don't want to talk about money, but..." "I feel bad." "Don't worry, dig." "Work harder, you'll feel better." "Anyway, I got a sore back." "I'd let a pregnant woman walk on me." "Let's talk about the best garden contest." "Mr. Antoine, on Riverside, has been our champion for the last 5 years." "We called him for his advice, but... he did not want to answer any questions..." "So it's not there." "I think it could be right around here." "It's here, don't argue with me!" "Under those rocks here." "Hey!" "Wait a minute!" "I allowed you to dig a hole... not break up my rockery." "Maybe we can make a deal." "I don't know... $10 a rock." "Deal?" "Deal." "Here, hold this." "Ten... twenty, thirty, forty... fifty." "Fifty rocks." "We got 50 rocks to move..." "from over there." "Does the Madonna count for a rock?" "No." "Two hundred bucks." "Two fifty." "Three hundred." "Ridiculous!" "That bottle's a collector's item!" "Too bad, it's worth a fortune!" "An empire was built on that." "A coke empire." "Think about it." "A symbol of democracy." "The whole world drinks it." "Except me." "Of course, we all know that..." "you're so pure." "When you crap it cleans your ass." "At least my shit flows freely." "They're working hard." "Better find it." "Your garden's becoming a cemetery." "They sound serious, their check cleared." "So much money for just a few holes." "Should we do a little something to thank them?" "They should be thanking us." "Hey guys!" "Don't wait, or I'll drink it myself!" "Sit down." "How about you?" "You kids enjoy it." "I had to give up drinking." "It wasn't good for my wife." "So..." "Find anything?" "No, not yet." "In any case, if I had known, I would've asked you to dig the drainage system." "I would've made a bundle." "They dug a drainage system?" "Yeah, five years ago." "What's wrong?" "He took all the dirt off and put it back." "It means it could be anywhere." "You kept the two first feet of soil?" "A foot of stone on a foot of sand." "Where's the system?" "Under us." "From the house, to the end." "The whole yard?" "Almost." "Could've told us." "I forgot." "So, how much do we owe you now." "Thirty-five square feet." "Don't be disappointed." "All good things come to a end." "My wife and I want to invite you for dinner." "My granddaughter'll be there." "You must've seen her." "In that case, we'll be glad to come." "We'll bring our wine, okay?" "Fine." "Around 7:00." "I'll prepare the bill, I'll give it to you tonight." "No hurry." "Not at all." "Invite Lea for dinner." "I'll explain later." "Really?" "I'm leaving." "No way." "We finish what we started." "I didn't spend all that money for nothing!" "For nothing." "Thanks for nothing." "Don't take it that way." "I'm sure you'll change your mind." "Don't hold your breath." "No?" "Only imbeciles don't change their minds." "Think about that, François." "You're not leaving tonight." "We still have one evening together." "Something about you..." "What?" "Is the Ferrari, the wife... the job, the money, L.A., the lawyer..." "Is it all true?" "Calling me a liar?" "What do you think I am?" "A Mafioso in an American film." "Forgive me, but it hurts to know you think that." "I thought we trusted each other," "that we were real buddies." "No, I'm sorry, it's..." "I'm tired, that's all." "Fine." "So we both apologize and we start fresh." "Okay?" "Let's go." "Quite the bike!" "Nice isn't it?" "You bet." "Whose is it?" "It's yours." "Happy birthday, Réal!" "I had to be sure you'd show up." "A Harley, you're crazy!" "You don't like it?" "Do you know how much it costs?" "Not as much as our friendship." "I can't, I already have a bike." "Forget it, I'm not staying." "I got to go back!" "I have a job in Montreal!" "I thought you were free." "Look, I'm free!" "Stop it, you'll bust it." "It's not a toy!" "Well, it hasn't changed much." "Wallpaper's nice." "Bedrooms' are upstairs?" "You put the TV there." "This was our playroom." "Don't mind if I go up?" "I'm coming." "So, what do you do for a living?" "Fireman." "Fireman?" "Nice job." "It's honorable, stable." "Do you like kids?" "Yes, a lot." "Réal, look at this!" "I grew two inches since then !" "Not bad!" "Single?" "Yes, quite a bit." "Oh boy, that's solid!" "Hi everybody!" "Hello!" "Sorry we're late." "My granddaughter." "Hi." "Hello." "Réal?" "Réal Bataille?" "What're you doing here?" "Stephan..." "Stephan !" "That can't be!" "François!" "You could've told me that it was them!" "I don't know them." "Lea, this is François, and Réal, two old buddies." "Pleased to meet you." "Not as pleased as I am." "Congratulations!" "No, she's a friend." "He's a friend." "Some drinks!" "Why not." "I knew you'd say yes." "No, thank you." "Thank you." "Thank you." "You're chic!" "Are you a lawyer too." "You're a lawyer?" "Yes." "I work for my father at the salon." "No." "Stephan, pall-bearer!" "No shit!" "Busy lately?" "No dead period." "So the Cadillac's your father's?" "Yeah." "Stephan also sings in a band." "They were 19th in the contest." "You sing in a band?" "Which one?" "The Star-bearers." "You all pall-bearers?" "No, gay-bearers." "Do we get to hear you?" "Sure." "At Didier's." "A show!" "A costume party would be fun !" "Good idea." "I'd like a costume party." "I'll take care of it." "Is it getting warm in here?" "Let's eat outside." "Yvonne, let's eat outside." "We'll eat outside." "Alright." "So he says:" "Not my fault, I'm sick!" "Don't have to be sick on me!" "No, no..." "Now that it's over, what were you looking for." "Since you're asking... we haven't abandoned it yet." "Mr. Antoine, Mrs. Yvonne..." "Let me explain... why it's important we find what we buried 15 years ago." "What is it?" "A bottle." "A bottle?" "A bottle of what?" "Made of gold?" "A beer bottle." "A beer bottle?" "Not a Heineken." "You buried a beer bottle." "It must be special if you want it so badly." "Not as much the bottle, as what's inside." "What is it?" "It's gold, gold, her... her... heroin !" "Cocaine!" "Two pieces of paper." "On which we secretly wrote, Réal and I, during a ceremony for Réal's birthday..." "The night I turned 18." "...our goals in life." "We rolled up the papers... put them in the bottle, buried the bottle," "and promised to dig it up in 2000." "And finally reveal to one another, what we had written on the paper." "That's it." "That's all?" "That's all!" "It's important." "It's very important." "A pact is a pact." "Bravo." "That's good." "Yes, very good." "Just tell each other." "No, no." "It's important we dig up the object, that was in the ground so long." "It's like a message from the past." "Words fly, writings remain." "You knew that?" "It's not because I don't trust you Réal, mind you I think I shouldn't," "but it's important to me, from the bottom of my heart," "that you read my paper." "And I want to read what you wrote." "What's important is to know whether or not... we did what we wanted with our lives." "Is that it?" "Yeah." "That was the deal." "You spent all that money... for that?" "The money's nothing, if I find the bottle." "We've held that promise for 15 years." "I can't abandon it now, while the bottle is somewhere... under the lawn." "Our destiny is buried there." "And that... is priceless." "When you say destiny is priceless, how much is it worth?" "What?" "Be realistic!" "What's a destiny worth?" "One, two million?" "No limit to feelings." "If you pull on my emotions... we'll drink to the bottle... and to destiny," "hoping you find them both quickly." "We can dig as we want?" "You know the rates." "But your garden, the contest!" "Forget about those." "To the bottle!" "To the bottle!" "We're getting closer." "I sense it." "Don't you?" "I sense an odor of shit, we hit the cesspool." "You're so negative." "Damned!" "If you don't believe in it, why do it?" "Because you're my buddy." "To be with you." "Stupid enough for you?" "I'm sorry." "I don't know what it is." "I don't feel good." "I think it's going to rain." "My bones ache." "Tell me about your wife." "What's her name?" "Natasha?" "Well..." "Natasha." "She's beautiful, she's tall." "That's it." "That, I saw." "But, how is it with her?" "Sexually?" "That..." "Not just that." "Emotionally speaking, how's married life?" "Oh, that!" "Well... it's fine." "No, well... yes." "No, it's fine." "Mister Réal?" "Excuse me!" "What'll you do with the petunias?" "If you want to get rid of them, just throw them in my yard." "I tried." "Where is he?" "This came by courier, here, give it to him." "You find him." "He could be in a hole, on his phone." "I've no time to waste." "Tell him I have to see him about the party." "There's no way..." "I'm not doing everything myself." "Damn, you're stupid." "Here." "For me?" "Can't work in peace." "It's a real highway." "How do you open this..." "There." "What is it?" "Wait." "A wife calling off her divorce." "No, a man calling off his divorce." "They're not sure who gets the kids." "She says he isn't good anymore." "I know." "She doesn't want to divorce anymore, she's in love." "Shut the fuck up." "How about a coffee?" "That should warm you up." "I'll get some towels." "Come on, lighten up!" "What's wrong?" "You want me to say something's wrong so you can feel better?" "To each their own shit, Réal." "You're too naive." "Fuck!" "Here, Louis warmed it up." "You coming to the costume party?" "I don't have a costume." "Don't worry about that." "Taste it." "What is it?" "The Chef's special." "Come on, take off your pants." "What?" "Take them off!" "There's no one around!" "Come on." "You're all wet!" "It's nice of you to dry my things." "It's hot down here." "Here, look." "My inheritance." "You're brave!" "It's safe." "It won't explode." "I mean, it's illegal." "You could get caught." "Taste this, tell me if it isn't legal." "Good?" "Warms you up." "Sit." "How come you're always in a good mood?" "It's a matter of the level in your cup." "Too much and you're sad." "My true happiness..." "is my wife, Sylvie." "I'm happy in order to make her happy." "Her happiness is my happiness." "She's like my grape, and I'm like... that still... a big empty machine... and together, well..." "Love is the ecstasy of being together." "That's my secret." "What about kids?" "Soon." "We've been trying for 10 years." "Time's running out for her." "I don't know..." "She wants children so bad." "I think I'm the problem." "My little guy shoots blanks." "You like to try?" "I don't even have a girl friend." "I'm not there yet." "No, I mean try... try and..." "make a child with Sylvie." "You're not serious?" "Why not?" "It wouldn't bother me, and we're almost alike." "You're also romantic, in a leather jacket... but romantic all the same." "I don't know what to say." "Listen..." "It's not because she isn't attractive, I think she's cute..." "It's not that..." "I don't think..." "I could do that if I weren't in love." "Anyway, I think." "I'm sorry." "Oh well... to love." "To love, damn it!" "I'm not too drunk." "I'll join you later." "Sylvie, it's our song." "I had so hoped" "it wouldn't end" "I fear the night without your touch" "My poor wounded heart awaits you always" "Come back my sweet" "I beg of you back to my tenderness" "I can no longer live" "without your caresses" "You left it's all over my beautiful dream" "I can no longer" "live without your caresses" "Is this your room?" "Where's Réal?" "I didn't see him." "He's disguised as a gust of wind." "I looked all over for you last night." "Where were you?" "It was fun." "Did you sleep well?" "Want a beer?" "Not this morning." "A tall glass of water with ice." "Okay, Chief!" "We're back ordered on the ice." "Your so stuck up." "She's having fun." "This isn't that kind of a club anymore." "You should've come back long ago to see her dance." "You don't get it." "What?" "You saying I don't get it?" "That's been free her whole life." "Look at her." "Look at the result." "Now, I'm in control." "And you're enjoying it, aren't you?" "Excuse me." "Waiter!" "One heart attack, please!" "You missed a hell of a party." "Yeah, I saw." "What's that?" "Thanks." "I hope you're in shape." "It's going to be a beautiful day." "Let's go." "Give me a good reason to go there this morning." "Because you're my friend." "Hi, guys!" "Still in the mud?" "I'm going to do her one day." "I thought you did." "She fell on the bed, all dressed and started snoring." "I had a hard on all night." "She'll get hers yet." "Listen to yourself." "Why?" "Am I shocking you?" "You'd like to fuck her yourself." "You're jealous." "You've got no respect..." "to fuck her!" "Don't you think about your wife?" "Mind your own business." "You're ridiculous." "You think you have every right?" "Does money do that?" "To fuck her..." "Hey, that virtue of yours... why don't you shove it up your ass." "To think I wanted to be like you." "I had to be real stupid." "So that's it." "Go ahead, say it." "You're jealous of me, right?" "No, I'm not jealous." "Oh no, I'm not!" "Oh no?" "Your life doesn't interest me." "Let me tell you." "I got a Ferrari," "I got money, I got a wife, a house on the beach in L.A.," "I got everything I wanted!" "The whole nine yards!" "That's what I wanted!" "And you wanted it too!" "That's what you wanted?" "That's what you wanted!" "Work like a nut, be stressed out 24 hours a day, always on your phone!" "Lick your stars' asses to pay for what... your toys?" "Look at what you've become!" "You're a whore, buddy." "What is your life worth?" "Tell me." "Say something." "What's the big mystery?" "Let me tell you." "Nothing." "'Cause you're nothing!" "You got nothing in life!" "That's you're problem!" "You're afraid of finding out what we wrote." "Wake up!" "We were kids, it's 15 years ago." "15 years ago you had dreams, ambition, now look at you !" "You've become a nothing!" "I'm a fireman !" "I'm a fucking fireman !" "Firemen aren't broke like you !" "You keep whining about leaving, but you're still here." "The truth is, you have nothing else to do." "Don't touch me." "Why not?" "That's what makes you tick?" "That's what makes you move!" "Hit me!" "Get it out!" "Come on !" "You're scared!" "You're a chicken !" "Fucking loser!" "Chicken, chicken..." "Are you going to shut the fuck up!" "Keep the Harley, it's made for guys like you." "They had a fight." "The rich guy lost." "He's got a bloody nose." "Did they find the bottle?" "No." "What's the other one doing?" "He's drinking beer and..." "And what?" "He's crying." "You were thirsty?" "You didn't fight because of me?" "You want the last one?" "I'll start." "No lies allowed, only the truth." "Ask me a question." "Who's the father?" "No, not that!" "Come on !" "You gave your word." "Alright, I'll tell you." "It's Antoine." "Old bugger!" "I'm pulling your leg." "It's Stephan." "Come on." "I swear, it's him." "Stephan's gay." "So..." "I asked him, I wanted a child." "He said yes?" "Why not?" "I won't ask him for anything." "We're best friends." "Been in the army?" "Not really." "I was rejected." "I flunked the aptitude test." "I'm sorry." "I was too high." "I was always high in those days." "What were you doing?" "Anything." "Coke, heroin, speed..." "Alcohol." "Anything... as long as I got high." "Ever try love?" "Are you crazy?" "It's much too dangerous." "So what did you write?" "Can't remember." "Up yours..." "You'd've written what?" "Spin the bottle and find out." "Now, or 15 years ago?" "Now." "Now?" "I don't know... leave this place... be free." "Free." "You're stupid." "What about you?" "Now?" "Have a house on the beach, a beautiful wife and lots of kids." "And lots and lots of money." "Something really original." "You want to make love?" "Okay, what's the catch?" "No catch." "I don't know." "I must look pretty dumb." "You'd make love with me?" "Not that fast, it's my turn." "Are you really a real fireman?" "No." "I'm on welfare." "To welfare!" "To welfare." "Antoine." "What is it?" "It doesn't make sense." "It's enough." "Our trees!" "Do something." "At $5,000 a tree, let him do it." "How can you say that." "You're becoming as crazy as him." "Take it easy." "I know what I'm doing." "No you don't!" "Look!" "He's destroying our garden." "Now he's destroying whatever was left of our life." "Don't worry, we'll buy a new life." "No, I like this one." "No, no, tell them to stop." "Oh my..." "Calm down Yvonne, calm down." "I can't." "Your heart!" "Hurry, hurry, hurry!" "What's the matter?" "He's having a heart attack!" "Réal Bataille!" "What about the bottle?" "It's dead." "Really?" "No thanks." "No thanks." "So you guys had a fight?" "Seems like it." "Who's in the box?" "There?" "A guy on a bike." "We bury one a month." "It's a bit like an assembly line." "It doesn't bother you?" "No." "But I'm afraid of burying someone I love." "Like Lea." "Like Lea." "That's a good example." "You love her?" "Like a sister." "She pregnant too." "You're now a confidante." "Did she say she raped me?" "It couldn't have been that bad." "What do you want?" "To know if you have a chance with Lea?" "Want my blessing?" "I'm more used to condolences." "Anyway, I don't even know if I'm the father." "You know, Lea..." "What?" "Well Lea..." "What Lea?" "She slept around." "With girls, a gay guy..." "think about it." "I don't care about her past." "I'm sure I did worse." "I don't know, with her..." "I want to try." "Take her away." "Take her anywhere, she needs to move." "She needs to breathe." "Leave... both of you." "Leave, the three of you." "I better go before I cry." "A little present?" "A little present?" "Nice suit." "Bye." "Nice pants." "Drinks for everyone!" "No one's thirsty." "What's wrong?" "François..." "Live your life anyway you want." "Just leave the others alone." "Listen." "I had a contract with the man." "He had a heart condition." "Anyway, he's not dead." "What's that?" "I forgot to tell you..." "It's the pool table you needed." "You bastard." "You can't buy me like you bought the others." "Put it back in the truck!" "Wait!" "Keep you're dirty money." "It's a gift!" "From the bottom of my heart!" "Forget it." "What you see, I worked for it." "I didn't buy it just for you, it's for everybody." "A village needs a pool table." "If you don't want it, it stays there." "It's paid for." "Come on, Didier." "It makes me happy." "Okay." "I've always dreamt of owning a Harley Davidson." "I give it to you, it's yours." "I can't be bought with a bike." "I'm not buying you." "It pleases me to give it to you." "It's the first time I have something to give away." "Are you serious?" "Yes." "A Harley Davidson." "Red." "A red Harley Davidson." "Got the keys?" "They're in it." "See how much fun this is?" "Don't feel like having fun?" "We could all have fun together." "I'll have fun with you." "We can play teams, have fun in teams." "We could play the fun ones, against the bored ones." "Stay bored if you don't want to have fun." "I think it's my turn to play." "We could be four having fun here." "Natasha!" "What are you doing here?" "My wife, Natasha." "I'm Elena." "Don't talk to her." "Thanks, Didier." "Hey gang, you know who that is?" "You know who that is?" "Is that yours?" "What will you have?" "Louis made coq au vin." "Good." "Two coqs au vin." "With the bottle..." "of Chateauneuf-du-Pape I brought." "Yes, sure." "Louis, two coqs." "Hey, King!" "Two espressos, please!" "You'll show me how it works?" "It's easy, you push the button here." "That's what I did." "It's coming." "You put this here, and wait." "What if we..." "For table 2." "Yes." "These for you?" "Are they hot?" "Don't stick your finger in it." "Very funny." "The bottle..." "You'll take care of it?" "Sure." "It's like a crystal ball." "Poor Antoine." "He must feel awful." "No more garden, no more health... they ruined him with their bottle." "Cruel." "Here." "For me?" "Yeah." "Thank you." "It'll make my wife happy." "Jeez... did you hit a train?" "It looks like it, yeah." "I'm not looking forward to being your age." "The hospital didn't keep you long." "That's a good sign." "Better that way." "Food's not so good." "Ah, but I liked it." "I really liked it, because... it brought back old memories." "When I flew to Florida with my buddies." "The food was exactly the same." "You've been to Florida?" "Where?" "Daytona." "You drive right up on the beach with your car." "It was total bliss." "I might have a proposition for you." "Really?" "You're dressed?" "How do you feel?" "I feel great." "Come here, sweetheart." "I have a nice surprise for you." "A nice surprise." "Oh, look, François left his car here." "It's not his car, it's our car." "That's the surprise." "Our car?" "We have a car." "We don't need a Ferry car." "It's not a Ferry, it's a Ferrari." "You know what it's worth?" "With that, we can buy a condo in Florida, a flaming new Cadillac, and have a lot left over." "A condo in Florida?" "We have a house." "Actually, I traded the house for the Ferrari." "Now we can make our dreams come true." "What's the matter?" "Come on !" "You don't understand!" "The Ferrari's worth 5 or 6 times the house." "Wait a minute!" "I got something to say!" "You're stubborn." "Listen !" "We're rich !" "We can buy a Cadillac, and join our friends in Florida." "We can do all we want." "It's been a lifelong dream!" "What about my life?" "Hold on a second." "Here, look." "We have more than $100,000 in cash." "All of François' money." "We can even make your dreams come true." "Talk to me." "Say something!" "Don't leave me all alone!" "I don't deserve it!" "You're leaving too?" "Yes." "With the boy?" "The boy or the girl." "No, the boy with the motorcycle." "Yeah, maybe." "He's nice, you know." "That's good." "I'm happy for you." "Do what you want." "You know, me..." "You want me to stay with you?" "No, no." "You sure?" "Everything's fine." "Don't worry about me." "Leave." "That's what you've always wanted." "Yes." "That's what counts." "Coming for a drink?" "No, I don't feel like seeing anyone." "Sorry about your nose, didn't meant to bust it." "It's okay." "I deserved it." "I can't go on like this." "At least it's quiet here." "I'll raise my chickens and grow my potatoes... and win the garden contest." "Sure you're okay." "Yeah, sure." "In the end..." "I just lost my wife, my job, my money... my Ferrari." "That's not so bad." "I can't shift." "I'm left with a few holes, and, if I look around, a bottle and memories." "What did you write in it?" "I wrote that I wanted to become rich." "To come back here, and give everybody gifts." "It's stupid... but I did it." "You?" "Come back, find you... and we'd be buddies again." "Dumb enough for you?" "Not really." "You know... you're the only friend I ever had." "That's mine." "You kept forgetting it everywhere." "I won't forget you." "Lea." "You're leaving?" "How about a kiss?" "Wait." "Son of a gun !" "The bottle..." "I'm sorry." "It could've will rate, on a scale of 10, the gardens in the annual contest." "On special assignment, your devoted Gaétan will travel around... and closely follow the team of judges." "The convoy will be leaving the community center, at 10:30." "This year, as everyone knows, the odds are the same for everyone, because our champion pulled out, and everyone sees victory in their garden." "But before anything, a brief pause... for our sponsors." "Well, it's over." "Going back to Montreal?" "Don't got much choice." "You could stay here, I can rent you a room." "You'd pay by filling up your damned hole." "I don't fill up holes, I dig them." "It's not the same." "Why would I stay?" "'Cause you're my buddy." "I know... let's start a landscaping business." "It pays well." "You don't dig." "I collect the cash, and you dig." "Dig pools, right?" "We start by renting a back hoe... and when there's cash, I'll buy you one." "Are you serious?" "... to PODZ"
