"What can you do, Fern?" "Nothing much." "Life's tough, eh?" "Poor Labine!" "He lit his barbecue..." "And boom!" "Game over!" "You light your barbecue outdoors, not in your basement." "My convalescences!" "It's unbelievable." "I'm still in shock..." "when I heard it... I was eating my soup." "You've no idea what a shock I got." "I couldn't keep my soup down." " Death's a downer, huh?" " Excuse me." "It's Guy." "How are you doing?" "I can't talk louder, I'm in a home." "There's no kitchen, it's a funeral home." "I'm calling you because the widow has a great cottage for sale." "Speak up!" "I can't hear you!" "The barbecue was bigger than he needed." "The manual alone was 125 pages." "You know, they laid him out nice..." "He looks better dead than alive." "Yes, death does look good on him." "What did it cost?" "2,500 bucks for the pair." "Lemme see!" "Good job, huh?" "Yeah, quite a shock though." "It's true." "It's always the best who go first." "He was more on the bench than on defence." "Les boys, my brother-in-law, Sylvain." "He's taking Labine's place." "Not in the coffin, in France." "That's a cheap shot, crapping on a dead man." "Why?" "You tried it?" "Watch it!" "So, you're the cross-eyed guy!" "C'mon, let's go see..." "The basement?" "It's finished." "In fact, it's completely finished." "I gotta leave today. I'd like the cottage to go before I do." "It wasn't in the ice storm triangle, only the pool was." "The front's great." "The land is 10 meters wide by 350 deep." "I got a deal on the flowers, 25 bucks a piece." "Did you know him?" "A bit, I spoke to him, I think, twice in 10 years." "What I admired most in Labine was his hair." "Boy, it was thick." "It wasn't only his hair that was thick." "Seems his barbecue's a total loss." "They found his T-bone stuck in the ceiling on the 2nd floor." "You bringing your stash?" "You sick?" "I don't want to do time in a European jail." "Then, I'm taking a chance." "I'm taking 3 bags." "What kind?" "Ring..." "Where did it go?" " Behind his shoulder." " Fuck." "Tss-tss!" "Don't do that." "Ah... ah..." "Labine.... lt's not easy, huh?" "I don't think he'll answer." "Uh..." "Hello..." "Your attention please." "Let's gather round our friend and team-mate Labine for a final moment of reflection." "My dear Labine, today, the big club's called you up." "The Lord's made you a number one pick in the draft." "For you, the time clock stopped at 51 years." "In a few minutes..." "when you take your last shift, we'll be on your wings when you take on your most important test on the road." "As for your charming wife who must play with one man less." "...but a heck of a one." "Adieu, Labine." "No, you aren't dead." "You've gone into overtime." "Hey, the airport's to the right!" "It's been one helluva send-off." "Watch out France, we're coming!" "Can I have your attention please?" "Have a beer, Fern, it's free!" "Let's go, you look like you're at a funeral." "Look out, Marcel!" "Very funny!" "Les Boys, passports, tickets, everyone, let's go." "Cut it out!" "You got no manners!" "That's no way to behave!" "Do something, will you?" "It's no joke." "Hiya, M'o!" "It's "Scotty Bowman" !" "Beating up kids, now?" "He started it, didn't you see?" "Your flight, too?" "Same flight, different class." "They let you travel?" "I'm off to Switzerland to see some friends." "And check on your accounts?" "Possibly, possibly..." " You're in pretty good shape." " You noticed!" "I quit smoking." "That's it!" "Yeah, 3 days." "Look at this." "They put a patch on." "Now I smoke a pack a day..." "at most." "If you feel like a little game, here's my number." "There are lots of casinos there." "We'll see, M'o, we'll see." "Ah, planes..." "At one time you took a boat to Europe." "6 days... would you take a boat?" "Oh no!" "Too afraid of water." "Anyway, I can't swim." "And you can't fly either." "You got a point." "...My wife underwent childbirth..." "Like your hair transplant?" "Since I did it, I'm not the same man." "Particularly with women." "I've had to mortgage my head off, but..." "With all these transplants, is there any hair left on your back?" "Fasten your seatbelts, please." "...Do you think we could catch yellow fever there?" "We're going to play hockey in France, not Bangladesh." "Can't be too careful." " Lucky you, you got champagne." " Lucky you, you got peanuts." "We're in Chamonix for 2 weeks for a tournament." "It's a small world." "I'm taking a course nearby." "Don't you love small worlds?" "What's wrong?" "is it the peanuts?" "I can't stand my new shoes." "Why're you breaking in new shoes on a trip?" "You want the pilot to take them off?" "No, it's just that you don't know me that well." "Do we know each other better now?" "Well, I certainly do." "It's a pastry course." "The French are hard to beat at that." "I've always been fascinated by the world of pastry." "I don't believe you." "Well done." " Julien, did you know..." " No." "...the first winter Olympics were in Chamonix in 1924?" "Fern, I've been meaning to tell you... lt's not "Chamonix", it's "Chamonee"." "Do we say "Asterix" or "Asteree"?" "is it "Grand Prix" or "Grand Pree"?" "Fern!" "Fern!" " lt's Maurice Richard!" " Where?" "The reason for your visit?" "Pleasure." " Have a pleasant stay." " Thanks, boss." "Reason for your visit?" "For a hockey tournament." "Or as you say: "field hockey"." "I didn't do anything!" "Hey, guys!" "Guys!" "Go away!" "Lemme go!" "Ah!" "There he is." "Let's get him before he gets lost." "Keep coming, that's it." "We could've left, if not for you." "They had no reason to stop me." "You look like an angel." "You hear that?" "Jean-Charles doesn't judge me." "Look at that!" "It's bloody beautiful!" "I just feel like hitting the sack." "It's like the Laurentians except older." " Look at that!" " Oh yeah..." "Hey, Boys!" "We're on the other side." " Right." " You serious?" "Okay, Boys, follow the guide." "Hey, Guy, I thought it was a 3-star." "They're trying to put a star back on." " Oh, that's it!" " Yeah." "Huh, Guy?" "It'll be nice in the morning!" "If I don't get a queen size bed, I'm gone!" " Doesn't look too clean..." " Careful!" "Easy!" " OK?" "Boisvert." " Thanks, Guy." "Sorry Stan, you're with your son." "Hey guys..." "whatever you need, call me!" "2 to a room, Fern." "Just like the pros." "Except we aren't pros." "A 12-wheeler..." "Son of a gun!" "Let's go back!" "It's just that..." "Don't push, Mario." "Smells musty in here." "Son of a gun." "Some 3-star hotel!" "Idiot!" "Did the hamster stop pedalling?" "What the...?" "Bob!" "Damn it!" "$20 for the room, and $100 for the chiro." "What's this?" "Smile, Stan." "You look miserable." "You would too if you had a camera stuck in your face all day." "Can it, will you?" "Hey you, kid!" " l'm tired of walking." " Nice view." "It's like their Place Jacques Cartier." "We should get a group caricature." "Where do we eat, Stan?" "There." " You know this place?" " Trust me." "Hey guys, is this happiness or what?" "How about that!" "We're here in France!" "You should know who that statue is." "Wait, I read about it... lt's a guy who'd been looking for Mont-Blanc for a month." "One day, he woke up." ""Guys!" "It's there!" "It's there!"" "Are we free after?" "This afternoon, you're all footloose." "Make the most of it because tomorrow, the tournament begins." "No drinks?" "How are my Canadians?" "To wash all that down..." "A little red wine on the house." "Cheers, gentlemen." "Thanks." "L'opold, you idiot!" "You're a bunch of jet-lagged corpses you're my Canadians." "Welcome!" "Laurent Burnell?" "Wait, let me guess." "You're my phone pal, Guy... I pictured you taller." "Not too disappointed?" "Yes, but I'll take you anyway." "What's funny?" "In top shape?" "Quite top, thanks." "Nice hat!" "I love America and westerns." "Been to America?" "No, just on T.V." "With that hat, imagine his horse..." "You joking?" "Yeah..." "He got it!" "See you tomorrow at the opening." "If everything's hunky-dory, I'm off." "Yeah, off your rocker." "So, is this little wine curing your jet lag?" "I don't know wine, but it's good." "I own a little pub, nothing fancy." "A colleague!" "In a way, yes..." "You must come and try my ribs." "I don't know what you're talking about, but anyway..." "Cheers, gentlemen!" " What are you doing here?" " Pardon me." "That's over there... okay... lt doesn't work..." " l'm from Quebec." " Yeah?" "So?" " Where're you going?" " What?" " The casino?" " l'm looking for a washroom!" "Go in." "Marcel, here's a colleague from Quebec." "The cows are kind of small..." "There's my wife and my Willy." " Your "willy"?" "!" " l'd like another one." "Marcel!" "Toilet's on another floor, not very bright." " l can't smell my feet." " l can." "I'm going crazy." "What did I tell you before we left?" "Bring soft shoes just in case." "Shoes are the base of the body." "Once the bottom goes..." "Dad what's your size?" "This tournament's important to me." "Play well tomorrow and the shoes are yours." "Meanwhile, put yours back on." "Oh, no." "I won't forget Guy's 3-star hotel... lt's better on the floor." "Try mine. lt looks more comfortable." "I might not be back tonight." "That's it!" "It's been 10 minutes now!" "I'll call the desk." "There's no phone." "Yeah, well... I'll take care of it." "Could I have your attention please!" "I'm addressing the room next door." "Do you think you could lower the sound a bit?" "..." "There're some people here who are mentally preparing for a hockey tournament... thank you, good night!" "That told them!" " That's settled!" " Give me five!" "You lock the door?" "I don't think so." "Got a problem, you pain in the ass?" "It was him." "You being a pain in the ass?" "We've finished being a pain in the ass." "Yes, I think so." "If you get any more hot flushes, your mascara will run." "Bunch of daisies!" "10 out of 10." "What are daisies?" "I think it's French slang for Canadians." "Pardon me!" " Hello." "My wife..." " Hello!" "They don't know what corn is." "Never mind turkey!" " Hello." " Happy to be in Chamonix?" "A great town, you'll see." " You drinking, eating?" " We got what we need..." " Filling up your paunch?" " l prefer a beer." "Keeping fit for the tournament!" "How's the little family?" "I know someone who has asthma, too." "And?" "Ah... he's very nice." "Hello!" "How are you?" "Mr. Mayor, please follow me." "What are you doing?" "Serving people... lt's free." "Quiet please." "Quiet please!" "Welcome to the lnternational Amateur Tournament." "Hold it, hold it!" "I cannot conceal the feelings of happiness at welcoming the best amateur hockey players from 3 continents who will battle for the Chamonix Cup underlining excellence in the world of international amateur hockey." "I'd like to thank those from so far off the Moscow Sputniks who aren't here." "A visa problem." "We salute them anyway." "Before declaring the Fifth Chamonix Cup Open... I'd like to acknowledge the unexpected presence of our remarkable and venerable Mayor of Chamonix His Honour Justin Hismind and our irreplaceable member of parliament The Honourable Bernard-Olivier Parseman." "We musn't forget the incredible involvement and dedication by the editor of the "Echo of the Alps" and here is the one and only Odile Tremblette the "passionaria" of hockey!" " Let's get some grub." " Yes." "What're you doing?" "There're no clean glasses." "Keep it up and you'll get sick, stupid!" "Be diplomatic, man." "It's the Czech bus driver." "Don't take it personally." "You'd think this is all for the Russians!" "Other clubs weren't named." "But it still bugs me." " So, Canada?" "How was my speech?" " Your speech?" " Well?" " lt was just perfect." "...all that to say that when I see a woman with your beauty let us say I get a taste to get to know your beautiful country and a desire to discover all its regions." "When I talk like that, I become a poet." "Relax, Baudelaire, one region's never visited the first night." "No, but it wasn't my intention either." "I also have a rule." "Never on the first night." "No, it's not what you think." " No, huh?" " No, no, no." "'Evening." "I'll leave you to your checker game." "I'll back check out of here." "Let's go, Bob!" "Sorry, Fran=CEois, it's Guy." "You mind if I bunk with you tonight?" "Bob's on his first power play." "Jean-Charles isn't here." "Your hair net really turns me on." "Up yours." "Son of a gun!" "What a nice arena!" "Don't forget this game's for Labine." "Yeah, right!" "You okay, Bob?" "Yeah. I still got a little jet lag." "So how is your "little jet lag"?" "Do you mind, Guy?" "So, "pump"..." " ...not too nervous?" " l'm fine." "Just don't crap out on us." "I feel great." "Okay, Boys!" "We've dreamed of this." "We didn't come here to visit wine cellars." "We gotta start on the right foot." "Anyway, we start against the lvory Coast." "Every game's important." "Watch out for the corners." "Take off your watch." "You don't need it." "Yeah, OK." "OK, this one is ours." "Their games last 15 minutes." "After that, the ice melts." "I know what you're thinking." "But I can tell you one thing I'm thinking the same thing." "There you are." "Thanks. lt's real nice." "Hey, Boys!" "Here you go." "Thanks." " We came to learn." " What?" "We came to learn." "You've come to the right place." "Good luck!" "They said they came to learn." "They wanna learn, they'll learn!" "And now, the national anthem of the winner." "Did we just get beaten by the lvory Coast?" "I think so." "We stayed at the 3-roach hotel" "The waitress was so pretty We all would have wed her" "This song's for you, Guy." "The Ivory Coast has ice?" "The rink's bigger and the air's thinner here." "Two things against us." "That and Guy's 3-star hotel." "There's a sewer pipe in our room." "It smells like the 16th century." "You should open a travel agency." "Bravo." "Are they tight or what?" "Just one more and I'm gone." "In any case, you guys got style." "You wouldn't have a little..." "Thanks anyway." "So, in short... I'm a hockey player and I'm single..." "How's it going?" "It's going." "Pretty poor show, huh?" "Thanks Roland... uh, Laurent." "It helps a lot to be reminded." "To come all this way to be humiliated by Africans it's bloody annoying." "That's not the only annoying thing." "Yeah, that's it... obviously." "How about a drink to keep our morale up?" "Tomorrow, we do the Italians." "See you guys!" "See you, Boys." " Fran=CEois!" "You can have my bed." " See you tomorrow!" "Julian, how's the manicure?" "How's the doctor tonight?" "Pretty quiet, isn't he?" "In any case you live in a beautiful area." "Beautiful women, nice people..." "There's someone from the Canadian team we'd like to jam with." "I'll go get some change." "When you're ready, guys..." " Yeah, well, in my book..." " You're a writer too?" "No, it's just an expression I use." "Which isn't to say one day I won't write." " Not quite like MoliSre..." " Like Stan?" "Yeah." "More like that." "But to get back to my story, what's made my pub successful are the combo plates." "What are combos?" "You see, my ribs are big sellers..." "Ribs?" " Spare ribs." " Ah yes!" "Spaghetti's also popular." "So I combined the two to make ribs-ghetti." "And it sells?" "It beat hamburger steak which was my biggest seller!" "is that so!" "Your big seller?" " Apple blood pudding." " What else?" "Gratin dauphinois." "Pud-phinois?" "I have a pair." "Not another!" "Damn cards!" "It's not my night." "Another hand?" "It's 4 a.m. I gotta get some sleep." "It's only 10 in Quebec." "A wee one?" "Yeah." "I wonder what kissing a man with a moustache is like. I've never tried." "Me neither." "Geez, dad, you up already?" "Yeah." "Sleep well?" "I could've used another 8 hours." "What's this?" "Hey, Rambo!" "Enough stick busting!" "Hey, idiot, duck when it comes!" "I didn't see it!" "Hey, what kind of a game is this?" "We can only lose 1 game." "We lose another and we're out!" "If you wore cheese cutters, you couldn't do worse!" "No booze the night before or I'll cut off your Beaujolais!" "You'll be drinking Perrier in no time." "Best thing for a hangover, huh, Stan?" "That sure picks your pecker up." "Easy, guys, it ain't over yet." "Jean-Charles, did we win, or didn't we?" "Nice win anyway." "There wasn't much scoring." "It wasn't obvious." "They didn't score much either." "Nope." "They didn't score much." "Hey, Julian, how did I do?" "Great, man, great!" "I figured I delivered a good one." "I read in Jacques Plante's biography it's important to thank yourself after a good game." "Thank yourself for me, will you?" "If we had a good hotel, everything would be tip-top." "I can't wait to see you organize a tournament." "He's only a cop." "It gets annoying after a while." "Can we have a chat when you have a minute or two?" "Okay." "How much?" "It's a lot more intimate." " Yeah?" " Yeah." "You see... I've been widowed 7 years..." "And I lost..." "How can I explain this?" "I've lost my touch with women." "Like swimming." "You don't lose it." "Well, I can't swim." "How can I explain it... I'll give you an example." "I read this..." "A woman is like a bundle of emotions." " Emotions?" " Yeah." "It's not the same, she's European..." "Didn't you go out with an Italian?" "Yeah, but she came from St-L'onard." "What's important is to let your emotions speak." "Feelings..." "you know, your feelings." " You mean...?" " l don't know, like..." ""l feel like sharing"... I dunno." "You say things like..." ""Come ride with me on the highway of life."" "Better than that..." "You look into her eyes and you say..." ""We'll go far..." "if we leave right now."" "Doesn't seem like much when I say it." "From you, she'll love it." "I lack confidence." "Come on, Stan..." "Look at your face." "You're a handsome hunk." "If I was a woman, I'd jump you." "But I'm a man so I'll hold back." "Keep on holding back." "You know, it's not easy for anyone." "I know, you see me going from one stand to another." "It's true, but I also have my lonely Tuesdays." "I know it ain't easy huh?" "No, it's not easy." "What is it?" "I dunno... lt's great, huh?" "You weren't embarrassed when I..." "Oh!" "No!" "On the contrary!" "I like a bold woman." "Even so, it was nothing." "Speak for yourself, as for me... I've got a lot more surprises like that." "Oh yeah?" "Corinne, until now, for me, a woman was just physical..." "You know, it always came to 1 and 1 make 2." "With you, I sense that 1 and 1  make 1 ." "You can be funny." "I'm telling you truth." " ln a rush?" " Gotta make a call." "Take your time." "Hello, it's me." "Yes, not bad." "You know what, Laurent?" "I've just had a super fuck..." "And you know what he can do that you can't?" "The Quebec spinner." "Who is he?" " What're you doing?" " Don't do that!" "Put yourself in my place." "Wait, I'm sorry." "I don't know what came over me." "You and I have become so intense that I can't handle my emotions." "I can't help it. I'm frank." "I understand, no problem." "Just be a little less frank and it'll be okay." "2 apple blood puddings, and a rib steak." "Excuse me." " Am I in your way?" " A bit." "That's okay." "I wanted to see you." "I want it well done!" " Listen, Violette..." " Careful, it's hot." "I don't know how to say this I wanna share with you." "Don't be shy, there's salad to toss, cheese to cut!" "No, Violette." "What?" "Would you like to take a ride on the highway with me?" "Are you serious?" "I haven't the time and I haven't a car." "Don't be silly." "Cut the cheese." "So, I cut it in slices or in chunks." "What?" "Never mind!" "Hey guys, while I'm waiting for my blood pudding... I propose a toast to our victory over the Italians." "So far, the trip's been great, the gang's fun, everything's A-okay." "Aside from the hotel." "We stayed at the 3-roach hotel..." "To us." "Come on, Guy." "Because you screwed up the hotel, it doesn't mean you should sulk all night." "If I had someone else plan my whole trip and all my pals chipped in for it... I'd keep my mouth shut!" "Damn right I would!" " What did I say?" " Go to hell!" "Don't take it so hard." "Well, I do!" "I may be a salesman, but I'm sensitive." "I spent many hours planning your tournament." "Look me in the eye, I'm talking to you!" " l'm looking." " l don't know anymore." "I spent 60 bucks in long distance calls to book this hotel." "What do I get in return?" "Not a thanks." "I want to personally thank you." "Look at your watch." "Look, and you'll see!" "You're a week late." "Bunch of losers!" "Just looking at you makes me want to jump off a bridge." "Guy, don't take it badly." "He doesn't look too happy." "How's the cheese coming along?" "It's going fine." "Speaking of going, Violette..." "We could go far..." "if we leave right now." "What's with you today?" "I love you, dammit!" "Well, get on with it!" "Looking at you teaches me something." "I look at you, and I see a nobody." "You amount to nothing." "Because you have nothing, absolutely nothing..." "Shabbily dressed you haven't washed in months... lt hits me..." "And at the same time, it touches me, right here." "I don't know what I was thinking..." "Many people have no reason to live and I worry about my little problems when all around me, there's so much... misery." "You've made me understand something." "Thanks, champ." "Jesus H. Christ!" "Don't move, you goddamn idiot!" "Sure, Guy tried hard." "But is this hotel a dump or what?" "When you die, don't give your brain to science." "Tell us about when Bruce Dupont got all worked up in the Challenge series against the Russians in '75." "The Series of the Century!" "It wasn't in '75, it was in '72." "And Dupont didn't play." "It was Jean-Paul Pariz', mister, Jean-Paul Pariz'." "If you don't know hockey, shut up." "That's when Pariz' hit the ice in the 1st period..." "Canada was losing 2-0..." " l'll go find Guy." " l'm going with you." "Pariz', a guy who was usually calm, went crazy..." "Don't drink too much." " Hi." " Hi." "I saw you play the other night." "I thought you were wicked." "It was bad?" "No." "Here, wicked means big, tops!" "Oh yeah, you're in music?" "Yes, but more into soul." "Did you say soul?" "He just has to pick the ball up, but he kicks it." "He's an idiot!" "Stupid." "So..." "Upset about meeting us tomorrow?" "Yeah, that's it." "Don't worry. lt's my round." "May I?" "Why not." "This way." " You're hurting me." " Bitch!" " Stop!" " Shut your hole!" "I didn't do anything." "Take it easy!" "Butt out!" "You're dressed like a whore!" "Enough, smart guy!" "Let's not get mixed up in this, okay?" "Scram, asshole!" "What did you call me?" "Enough!" "Alright, Mario." "Alright." "Mummy's calling you, fag!" "Stop it!" " Cool it, Boisvert!" " Let me go!" "My baby... lt's all because of one thing..." "politics." "It's not only that." "Listen." "Lemme talk." "Take us, for example..." "Why do you think it's so bad?" "Quebec... isn't Bosnia." "It's not as bad as that." " lt's not as bad as that." " lt's bad, Laurent. lt's bad." "Why are things are so bad in Quebec?" "Politics." "Things are bad in the world?" "Politics." "Why is the whole planet fighting with each other?" "Po-li-tics." "That's why your history is complicated in Canada." " lt is not." " lt is." "It's not." "I'll explain it in 5 minutes." "Don't move, I got someone on the other line." "Hey..." "Not you, Emma!" "Bring me 10 vodkas, please!" "You'll see, you'll understand." "If you don't mind the loo is calling." "Be right back." "A girl?" "Yes." "is it serious?" "I think so." "How can I explain it?" "A woman is like a bundle of motions." "So you have to let your own speak." "Communicate, feeling... understand?" "And?" "I dunno, you could say things like..." ""l feel like going down the highway of life with you."" "Or: "You and me could go far, if we leave right now."" "It doesn't sound like much now, but say it in your own words." "Alright, but suppose it goes further than that." "What do I do?" "Come see me tomorrow." "Bob, old buddy!" "Pull up a log!" "Cooled off a bit?" "Forget about it." "Sit down." "Join the "great francophony"." "Moderate drinker, I see." "Let's say the night's unfolding as it should." " May I..." " No, order something else." "A double scotch." "I don't have to see Fern's face." "That's a plus!" "Whenever Fern opens his mouth, don't expect the Nobel Prize." "You know that." "And that's my problem. I expect too much from human beings." "Speaking of human beings, do I err or are you bang on the button?" "Bang on the button!" "And is that button named Corinne?" "I think so." "Cupid with his arrow in here it hurts." "And her?" "Worse!" "She can't think straight!" "Well, if it isn't my old friend who's just relieved his bladder." "We're talking about you." "Need any introduction?" "We know each other." "Know the spinner?" "The what?" "No." "You're a little blue?" "Do you miss your bird at home?" "Yeah, that's it." "Kind of gets to you, you know." "She's there, you're here." "What's he doing there?" "What?" "What are you doing?" "Wanna spend a night with her?" "Try this... I got carried away." "I'm coming!" "What?" "He's still there?" "Bloody hell!" "He's still there?" "Fucking crazy!" "A little Canadian chip, Marcel?" "Not her again!" "Let's knock again." "Are you crazy?" "It'll only provoke her!" "What're you doing?" "We better not take any chances." "I'll put my helmet on." "Yeah, we won't hear her that way." "And our jockstraps." "Let's not overdo it." "She's not gonna lay down the law." "You can't turn your back." "What do you do if a guy hits on your woman?" "Yeah, you're right." "It's right up there." "There's a limit." "Enough's enough." "Let's go back to what we were talking about." "The nature of politics." "Laurent, my dear Laurent." "Let me explain Canada in all its complexities." "We'll use these 10 vodkas." "Don't touch Canada!" "Let's toast." "Give it to me." "I'll hit you!" "I'm not finished." " He's joking." " l'm not. I'm serious." "Each vodka represents a province." "British Columbia." "All's well, the Rockies are nice, they speak English." "Alberta." "Fine there, too." "Weather's nice, there's oil the Calgary Stampede, and they speak English." " Follow me so far?" " No." "No?" "I'll fix that." "Another round of Canada for my friend. 10 more vodkas." "You watch..." "Drink your provinces at the same time as I do." "Then you'll understand." "Hello." "Hello Violette." "I had a game plan to prepare but I got other plans for the evening." "You make me so happy I feel like jumping in the air!" "You'll hurt yourself!" "You see?" "Come on." "That brings us to Quebec." "Cheers!" "So how do you like Quebec?" "Never mind your provinces." "Look, it's like love." "Take one." "No!" "Stop!" "That's my wife!" "Don't touch!" "Take another." "That's my mistress." "Don't touch!" "That's me." "Don't touch a thing." "That's love in France." "Touch it and I'll smash you." "There, that's exactly what I was coming to." "Touch my Canada and I'll smash you!" "As a friendly gesture, take my New Brunswick." "We should go." "Let's go. I'll take you." "No need to." "We'll manage." " Got a problem?" " No." " You don't need me?" " No." " You don't want me to take you?" " Yes, of course." " You want me to take you?" " Yes." " My pleasure." " Mine, too." " Come on." " He's taking us." "We're off, Guy." "They don't have bacon and eggs." "Not even air." "Hi, old boys." "I thought I'd bring you a little gift." "Don't tell me you cooked all night again." "So Stan, do you have a game plan against France?" "He has." "He gave me a demonstration last night." "Some plan." "Was it good for you, Pa?" "Shove over, idiot." " You've got lipstick." " Hey, Boys." "I've got good news for you." "The good news is..." "Gerard." "Hi!" "As you can see, it's super." "Look at the size of the rooms." "Comfortable beds!" "How can you tell?" " No, he's right. lt's top quality." " Not bad, huh?" "He's a friend of mine." "You'll get the same rate as here." "It's the off-season." " ls it all paid?" " No." "Just the 1st week." "But I gave my word for the other week." "You screwed people before." "Hey!" "Who wants to go?" "Come on, Guy." "The owner won't be happy." "Don't worry." "I'll talk to him." "If it's okay, I'll take the wheel." "I know the way." "Sorry, Mr. Henry." "It wasn't me, it's my friends... I really love your place." "I mean it." "Hey, take it easy." "Jerks!" "Degenerates!" "Fags!" "Crazies!" " Fuck off!" " Fuck you too!" "Bastards!" " l'm gonna jump in the jacuzzi." " l'm taking off my damn shoes!" "How about this countryside?" "Nice, huh?" "Beautiful." "But isn't it a bit far from the village?" "The trip's over." "Everyone out!" "Take it easy, Stan." "That's a 92F 9mm semi-automatic." "A shot in the face..." "and bye-bye face." "Let's go!" "Out!" "Hello." "Don't shoot!" "We didn't do anything." "Stay cool." "Empty your pockets." "Come on, faster!" "Your binoculars!" "I want passports, wallets, everything!" "Gimme your pumps!" "Your shoes, stupid!" "And your boots!" "But they're real snake!" "Like I care!" " Not our hockey equipment, too?" " Good idea!" "You want me to blow your head off?" "Do you?" "Take it easy!" "Lay off the coffee!" " What're you doing?" " Not my briefs?" "Hell, no!" "They're not my size." "If you like, take my shoes." "Do I look like a circus clown!" "What's behind your back?" "Nothing." "Let me see "nothing" !" "You're not gonna take this!" "Merry Christmas!" "Thank you!" "Could you do a little folk dance before I go?" "Come on, you clowns!" "There!" "Enjoy the tournament!" "They got everything we had!" "We could call a taxi." "You didn't give them your cell phone, did you?" "That's right!" "You always tell me to shove it up my ass." "So I listened!" " You want to call?" " l think I'll pass." "The battery's dead." "I'm sorry." "Hey Boys!" "Check this!" "In my book, father, it's Labine who sent you." "In my book, it's Providence." "I promise to send you 2 dozen cream puffs." "Pardon." "He's talking about pastry." "I'm not a priest, I'm a monk." "We'll stop by the monastery first." "We keep clothing for the poor." "You're welcome to it." "Thank you, brother." "Good luck." "May the Lord protect you." "You don't need the hat." "It goes with it." " You've got taste." " My favourite colours." "Hey, Boys, I've got a friend in the police." "I'll put him on the case and he'll find our stuff soon." "It's this way." "Follow me." " Boisvert!" " Emile!" "What happened to you?" "It's a Salvation Army fashion show." "Just an idea..." "We've been robbed." "It's been crazy!" "You'd never..." "Well, well, well..." "don't I know you?" "What's the matter?" "Boys, I wouldn't count on the police just now." " Get 'em moving!" " What?" "Move!" "Move!" "You're blocking traffic!" "What traffic?" "Keep it up and I'll lock you all up." "Move, or I'll arrest you!" "Get moving, there's nothing to see!" "It'll work out, you'll see." "Easy to say." "No money, no passports, no clothes." "I can put you up." "I've got a little pad." "It'll be tight, but..." "We'd be a bother." "It's no bother." "It'd be a pleasure... "in my book!"" "That's nice, but a little pad for 12 is a bit much." ""ln my book!"" "What a story!" " l just heard." " News travels fast here." "That's funny." "Those are the pants I gave to good will last year." "They looked stupid then... they look worse now." "Except I didn't pay for them." "A joke?" "Of course." "Right, let's take care of it." "First we have to house you." "If it's a matter of making more room... I think I'll take Violette's offer." "What?" "It's for your sake!" "Holy cow!" "is the house out back?" "Make yourselves at home." "This little paradise is yours." "A little dusting and it won't look the same." "And a dab of paint!" "Someone's bringing over some camp beds." "Really deluxe!" "The ceilings are so low, it must be Little Beaver's chalet." "Yeah." "Nice neighbourhood." "It's this one." "The little pad's more like a 5-star." "5 stars for the 7th heaven." "Come." "A sauna to unwind you." "I've got a taste for something hot." "You can't find any better water." "Alpine water." "Oh, boy!" "I feel like a steamed hot dog." "I never tried that before." "Well, I mean, with a woman." "Just relax." " You alright?" " Very!" "What's this?" "Roger Pouliot's outhouse?" "Hello, Francis." "Sleep well?" "Have anything better to say?" "You're ready for a little swiss roll." "Dig in." "There's enough goodies for everyone." "Grab some, Fern. lt's free." "Hey, Boys..." "Hey, Boys!" "I got some sweets for you this morning." "A week of these and we'd go from hockey to Sumo wrestling." "You'd look good in diapers." "Boy, this sure isn't Club Med!" "Nicer outside than inside." "Some shack, uh, Stan?" "It's like a shelter during the ice storm." "How's it going, Stan?" "A pad's a pad." "You know what they're like. lt's alright." " Are we still playing?" " With what?" "Booties?" "I think we'll have to forfeit." "Geez!" "What are we here for?" "Little House on the fuckin' Prairie!" "First, let's stay calm!" "And breathe through our nostrils." "And secondly anyone want this pastry?" " Hi, guys!" " Tip-top, mate." "I have some great news." "Friends..." "I've found some hockey equipment." "Welcome to tonight's semi-final." "Representing Canada, Les Boys." "And their opponents tonight, representing France let's welcome the Alpine Jaws from Chamonix." "You're the Kings of hockey?" "We'll cream you!" "The skates match your eyes!" "Ouch!" "Dammit!" "You sicko!" "Come on, let's go!" "You alright, boy?" "I may never get this thing off." "But I'm alright." "Come on, skate!" "Let's go!" " Shove over!" " Shut up, daisy!" "What's a daisy?" "It means a faggot." "How's this, daisy?" "What is it?" "He fell by himself!" " What did he say?" " He said, sit down anyway." "Not my fault!" "I hardly touched him." "Damn it!" "Time, 2 min. 20 sec. of the 1st." "Yeah!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "Terrific!" "Yes!" "Bravo!" " Where's number 22?" " lt was 25." "Number 25!" "Let me at him!" "What'd you say?" "I dare you to say it in French!" "You like being laughed at?" "Wake up, damn it!" "Goal by Les Boys." "Scored by number 2, Bob Chicoine." "With an assist by number 10, Guy Th'trault... and number 16, Mario Painchaud." "Time, 1 4 min. and 45 sec." "of the 3rd." "Come on, Bob." "You alright, Bob?" "What do you think?" "Watch it, knucklehead!" " Get it out!" " l'm trying!" "Come on, Mario!" " Come on, Guy!" " Watch it!" "Shit!" "Shit!" "Nice pass!" "It can't be!" "We've won!" "Ouch!" "Surprise!" "Bob, I want you!" "Ouch!" "Me, too." "My poor goo-goo's got boo boos!" "Oh no, not there." "There's okay." "Laurent?" "It's me." "Not the phone again." "You know what I'm about to do?" "The spinner again." " l'd rather skip it." " lt'll be good." "Oh, yeah." "Oh, that really hurts me!" "Big news!" "We're playing against the Russians in the finals." "Here you go, Stan!" "And... I found out that the Russian goalie is Tretiak's cousin." "Who's Tretiak?" "You don't know who Tretiak is?" "Damn kids today aren't cultivated." "Yeah?" "You're as cultivated as a corn field!" "Smart guy here doesn't even know Tretiak!" "Hey, Mario!" "This beanpole here doesn't know who Tretiak is!" "Can you believe it?" "Who cares about Tretiak?" "I just called home, and my baby's sick." "That's what's important to me." "I'm quitting." "Take it easy, Mario." "What's wrong?" " Chicken pox." " Chicken pox?" "Leopold had it when he was small." "And he's in great shape." " And what a shape!" " Shut your mouth." " Of course." "I need you to play the Russians." "Play without me. I can't go on!" "We have no equipment." "We have nothing." "We'll lose, anyway." "A Boy never quits!" " l'm not a Boy, then!" " That isn't Mario!" "Who is he?" "is it just your equipment that's missing?" "Hang on, damn it!" " Little bastard!" " Something's wrong?" "Something's very wrong." "Can I make a long distance call?" "But of course." "Les Boys!" "I'm really, really very happy to see you." "And... I'm so happy I'll buy you all a round!" "It's on me." "But let's keep it under 80 francs!" "I've asked Meo to help us out." "He's more of a hindrance than a help." "Hey lawyer, cool your legal briefs, will you?" "Stan told me the whole story." "I had tears in my eyes!" "It was rotten!" "It was rotten what they did to you." "Rotten, rotten, rotten!" "If you want to help, get me a ticket home." "Don't give up!" "Have more pride than that." "Easy for you to say!" "It's been bad ever since we got here." "Where were you when I was just talking?" "Pride means nothing to you?" "You've got an exceptional chance to go home with your head held high instead of your tail between your legs." "In my book, Meo is right." "Of course I am." "We're not losers!" "Right, mates?" "Fine, but you haven't seen our gear!" "Details, Leopold." "Details!" "There're scumbags everywhere!" "All I have to do is make a call..." "On whose head is it this time?" "Go back to your pastries, fruitcake!" "To you!" "It's nice to see you away from the pub!" "A toast to our victory over the communists!" "To the Boys!" "To our victory!" "She drove like mad." "She could've killed us!" "Sophie!" "Another." "At one point, we nearly smashed into a truck!" "Two words." "My wife told me." "That's nice!" "Hug me." "I said, hug me!" "Thank you for rekindling the flame." "Son of a gun!" "Oh, one more thing." "Show me the spinner." "The spinner?" "Wait, hold on." " That sucks!" " l know it sucks." "And you like that?" "Why, yes. lt's..." "But that sucks!" "Oh, Bob." "We love you." " We love you." " That's alright." "Shall we go, sweetheart?" "I love you." "Not too down?" "It's too bad for her." "Popol, Sophie." "Cut it out, will you?" " Here, Stan." " Thanks, Meo." "In the past, you and I had some pretty heated discussions." "It's normal." "What'd you expect?" "When two specimens like us go nose to nose we're not exactly swapping recipes." "I just want to say it's real classy of you to help us." "Don't forget I got a heart, too." "It's very easy to forget that." "It's just that our stuff... the game's tomorrow, you see." "I'll see what I can do." "I'll see what I can do." "I hope he's there." " What's his damn number?" " l don't know." "I want to speak to Mr. Cesar." "This is his old chum, Meo." "That's right, and hurry up." "Cesar!" "This is Meo." "Meo!" "Meo the Chimney!" "You remember me now?" "Everything's pip pip and all that, old boy." "Listen, I have something to ask of you." "I have some blokes from Canada who're in the deep and briny." "I need you to do me a favour." "I'd like you to turn a sow's ear into a silk purse." "Am I dreaming?" "Everything's here." "My camera!" "My camera!" "I never knew how much a guy can miss his undies." "Meo kept his word!" "I admit that sometimes it pays to know an asshole." "My boots!" "It's like the 8th game of the great series against the Russians." "And Tretiak was in goal." " Who told you that?" " Tretiak's cousin." "I hope you're ready because he is." "Will you let me concentrate!" "Les Boys!" "Can I have your attention?" "Meo has something important to say." "Important." "Extremely important." "My French contact it's thanks to him you got your bags back has some info that'll knock your sox off." "The thing is that Gerard, the guy that robbed you seems to have made an arrangement with one of the Boys." "This guy betrayed his friends for a little bag of powder." "That's not how it was to happen." "Julian, Julian, Julian!" "He gave you 1 ,000 bucks' worth to betray Les Boys." "He was only supposed to take the bus, not our stuff." "That's disgusting!" "I admit I've done some rotten things in my life but I've never betrayed a friend." " Come on!" " Never!" "That's rotten, Julian." "Rotten!" "Rotten!" "Rotten!" "When I heard it, I felt sick." "I felt so ashamed that I paid for your lousy powder." " l'll pay you..." " l don't want to know nothing." "You're not playing today." "Julian." "Get up." "I never thought I'd have to do this to one of my Boys." "It's all very well, but we're missing a player." "No, we have a player." "Do you have to sing?" " But it's so nice!" " Just shut up." "Okay, les Boys." "Boisvert, that's not a club!" "Guy!" "Shoot!" "Can't you play hockey?" "He's got no right!" "Damn it!" "It's Guy's fault." "He wasn't in position." "I can't go on!" "Drop it!" "Or I'll put a patch on your forehead!" "Hey, you sick or something?" " Fuck a you!" " That's enough!" "That's a penalty!" " That was..." " l'm taking care of it!" " What?" " Tell you on the bench." "You alright, Fran=CEois?" " What'd the ref say?" " He said everything's okay." "What'd he say?" "Something in Italian you wouldn't understand." "He said, "Via!" "Via."" " Shut up!" "You asshole!" "I can't wait to see the trophy." "Being ahead doesn't mean we've won." "I wanna talk to you." "What?" "To tell me I'm rotten?" "No, no, forget that." "Judas was a good guy compared to me." "C'mon, get out!" "Out!" "No!" "Look..." "How can I say this..." "There's, like, two Julians." "There's the rotten Julian we know." "And the good one we don't see too often." "The good Julian is like a treasure that's deep inside you." "Deep inside a cave." "He's been there a long time and has many things on top of him." "There's dust around him." "And powder too, huh?" "Right..." "And you're like the sentinel of the treasure." " The sentinel?" " Yes." "The sentinel, y'know, the security guard." "Like Pinkerton's, you know them?" "And you guard the treasure." "To keep your treasure clean, there's only one person who can vacuum it... you." "I don't know if you understand what I'm trying to say." "It's a helluva vacuuming job." "I'd say so." "I'll get you for this!" "What'd I do?" "Penalty, No 1" "Fern Rivest, 2 min." "for tripping." "That's enough, Shorty!" "Fern's all alone." "Help him!" "Throw yourselves in front of the puck. lt won't kill you!" "What're you doing?" "Go on, Sylvain!" "His pump!" "His pump!" "You think they did it deliberately?" "Easy, it's his whole future." "What did you do?" "Huh?" " You okay, Guy?" " Yeah, and you?" "Did they call about the cottage yet?" "Hey, you!" "Never mind "Finito" !" "Aw, go eat shit!" "Must be pretty tender down below..." "You want more ice, Sylvain?" "How about you, Guy?" "We need some extra effort." "We're one man down." "They'll be even stronger now." "I don't know..." "if I'm gonna make it." "I've said it often before." "I'll repeat it." "They're big, they're strong, they're Russian but our strength is in our... I know I'm rotten." "Please give me another chance... I've only two things in life, music and you." "I'm ready to play hockey." "I'll do anything to play with you." "My sentinel is really tired... of vacuuming his treasure." "He wants to play hockey." "What's he talking about?" "Julian is right." "We've all made mistakes in our lives." "My first one was the hotel." "Lemme tell you..." "We all have a right to a second chance, damn it!" "Julian has a right to his." "He never wanted to screw us." "He's not quick enough to!" "All those for a second chance, raise your hands." "What'd he say?" "Guy's right." "C'mon, raise your hand." "C'mon, Stan." "C'mon, Fern!" "Hey, Mario, you playing for them?" "You put it right on his stick." "Not too tired, Mario?" "What's with you, Mario?" "You a stupid tourist?" "You want my camera?" "I want that cup!" "Let's go, Marcel." "Use those skates." "Mario, it's for you." "Saku?" "Saku, it's papa... goo-goo!" "5 min. 32 sec. of the 3rd period." "C'mon, Boisvert!" "You never thought we'd get this close, did you?" "Holy shit!" "Time the mountain came to earth." "What're you doing, fathead?" "You broke my stick, stupid!" "What are you doing?" "Penalty to the Boys." "What's going on?" "He broke my stick!" "What "banco"?" "I know them all in prison." "Relax!" "..." "I didn't do anything!" "What if I break your legs?" "The Mafia controls everything." "Goddamn Mafia!" "Ladies and Gentlemen, a sudden death shoot-out." "The 1st team to score after a missed goal by the other team is crowned champion." "You know what's going on?" " We have no other choice..." " l hate it!" "Any doubts, fall down, alright?" " Watch, he'll miss it." " Cut it out!" "I knew it!" "I knew it!" "Where is it?" "I don't wanna pressure you..." "The treasure, Bob, the treasure!" "You're going in for me." "Say something, Stan!" " What're you doing?" " Leave me alone." "Mario, you're next." "It begins with one shot of the vacuum cleaner." "We're done, it's over." "Next time you come, I'll pretend I don't know you." "It's a joke!" "Very funny!" "Thanks, Laurent." "There he is, my favorite!" "Y'know I love you?" " Yeah." " You'll write?" " Oh yeah, of course." "Get over it, will you?" "Hurry!" "We want a good seat on the plane." " Ready?" "Where's Stan?" " He's coming now." "Got your things loaded?" "Here, son." "There's a little change in the program, guys." "I'm not going back." "Not for now anyway..." " Ciao." " Yeah, that's it!" "Him!" "Goodbye, son!" "Goodbye, dad!" " The statue, stupid!" " Sorry." "That's all right." "Him!" "I think he fancies you." "Roy Rogers!" "See you, Boys!" "See you, Stan!" "There's no stopping a guy in love." "Check this!" "Subtitles:" "Chameleon Versioning Longueuil, Quebec" "Subtitling:" "Centre national du sous-titrage, Montreal"
