"THE HOUSE IN THE WOODS" "Come on, Bertrand!" "Not too fast." "So, is it correct?" "No, Sir." "It should be 15 instead of 14." " Is it really 15?" " No, it's 14." "2 and 2 is 4, not 5." "Hello, Sir." "Is it true they gave you bromine before the attack?" "Pierrot, are you going to school now?" "It's been a year now." "When will you be back?" "When the war is over." "Soon I hope." "It's twenty past eleven, you can go home for lunch." "Bye, Sir." " I don't know them." " That's Pascal." " Where are you from?" " From Avranche." "I don't know how he ended up here." " Are you gonna win the war?" " We haven't yet, you know." "Here are our two Parisians." "Hervé... and Michel who are staying with Mr and Mrs Picard." " Where is the third one?" " Behind the blackboard." "I had forgotten about him." "Bébert?" "Albert?" "These three are a bunch for the gameskeeper." " What's wrong with him?" " I am a bit more strict than you." "I'd be tight me, one has to be." "Bébert is special." "Bébert can cry and Bébert can laugh" "You laugh and you cry now?" "You can go for lunch with the others." "Goodbye." "See you soon, Sir." " They're not too hard on you?" " No, they're fine." " Cigarette?" " Yes, Thanks." "They often speak about you." "I think they miss you a lot." "I hope it won't be for much longer." "Let's hope." "Thank you." "It must be weird, right?" "It feels weird to see the kids in this classroom." " It's a weird change?" " Yeah." "Are you going to stay... at La Villeneuve for all your leave or go to yours in Burgundy?" "I'm going to stay here with my wife for a bit." ""France is my country." ""I love her as I love my father and mother" ""To prove my love," ""I want to be" ""a hard-working" ""and well-behaved child," ""so" ""I'll grow up" ""to be a good citizen" ""and a good soldier."" " What is the french flag?" " Blue, white and red." " Why?" " Because..." "Mordon!" "Stand up!" "Blue is for the town." "White is... for the wounded." "And red is for the dead." "Red is for the blood!" "Did you make that up or read it somewhere?" "I made it up." " Why blue, white and red?" " I can't read anyway." "You've never been taught?" "And since when it is blue, white and red?" " After the war." " Since the Revolution." "So why since the Revolution, Serge?" " What colour was it before that?" " White!" "White with?" " A cross?" " A fleur-de-lys?" "Serge." " You know the History of France?" " Yes." "So stand up." "So?" ""I've learned that France has always been" ""brave and generous." ""That it..." ""That it has always been full of glory." ""I've also learned that in..." ""in 1870 and 1871," ""France was defeated despite the bravery of its soldiers" ""and that it lost Alsace and Lorraine." ""But us good French," ""always hope..." ""still hope to get them back."" "Well, not too bad, but..." "Mrs de Fresnois just had a car accident." "I think she was killed instantly." "Come with me, the mayor is waiting for paperwork." " Sit down." " Be quiet." "Sit down." "You've all heard the news." "This class is dismissed." "You can all go now." "You will leave quietly row by row." "This row first." "Silence, please." "Quietly, I said." "Go on!" "Scram!" "Come on, beat it!" "There's nothing for you to see here." "You will put the horse in the stable." "Stop it!" "Easy, easy!" "Mum, you know..." " What's wrong?" " The Marquise is dead." "I know, Dad is the last to tell me though." "You see, it can happen to anyone." " Is this jam?" " Yes, strawberry." "Go get me a spoon." "Apricot jam?" "You'll have some on Monday, I hope." "Strawberry jam is tasty too." "Here you go." "Sit down." "What about my chocolate from last Sunday?" " It's all gone." " You gave it away to everybody." "So sweet things for you, and dry bread for the rest?" "And the butter Dad brought?" "We finished it." "Everybody had some." "Anyway, it would be off by today." "Here's some jam." "Hervé, here." " Is that good enough?" " Very good." "Eat slowly." " Did you see the Marquise?" " Yes." " Did you feel anything?" " Yes, I did." " Seen dead people before?" " Yes." "For real?" "And you?" "Yes, I've seen my neighbour." "How was it?" "It was sad, she was laying on the floor, then she was put in a coffin." "It was too sad." "I went home, I did not see." " Anything left to eat?" " You haven't had enough?" "Here." "Two each." "And don't hang around here." "Go and play outside." "Come on, children, hurry." " Hervé." " Thank you." "Come here, sweetie." "I'm telling you, I'm not giving you any jam." "Come on, let's find some birds nest." "Your skin is so soft." "Careful!" "Here's my dad!" "I did not hear you come, you scared me." "What are you doing here?" " Who were you with?" " We were just talking." " What about?" " Nothing special, just talking." "Run back to the house, we'll have a word then." "You'll tell your smooth talker, Jacques, that I'll have a word with him too." ""Nothing special"." " What has she done again?" " We just stacked the hay..." "Then a farm hand took me back on his bike, that's it." " That's wrong." " You two were never young?" "First, we were not your age, and it was for a good reason." "At your age, I knew how to behave." "Go on and hang the washing." "She's a beautiful girl, she won't be yours forever." "You're some kind of mother." "You care less about yours than the others." "The older don't need me that much." "Whereas the little ones..." "And especially Hervé, right?" "Albert, what happened?" "No one knows exactly." "The cart bolted?" "The horse got nervous?" "We don't know." "No witness?" "No one." "And the Marquis?" "What is he going to do?" "Hey, here's one!" " It's really high." " Are you climbing?" "Tell Mum and I beat you up." " Climb on my shoulders" " Not on his head." "Push him up, idiot!" " That's it." " I'm not part of this." "Watch it!" "I'm not keen on this." " We've heard you now." " Hey, careful!" "Don't throw stones at us." " Anything in the nest?" " He can't know yet." " Come on, look!" " Yes!" "Yes, it's full!" " Come on!" " Throw it!" "Throw it down." " Wait a second." " Don't be scared." "Catch it!" "Careful it doesn't fly away." " Is it a big or a small one?" " It's a tiny one." " Over here!" " Catch!" "We have to find it." "Over there." "Careful, catch it!" "Help!" "I can't come down." "Help!" "I'm falling down." "Help!" " What are you fool doing up there?" " Come on!" "Help!" "Just let go, I'll catch you." " Why were you up there?" " There was a magpie." "You know it's forbidden?" "I'll slap you alright." "My little magpie!" " It's not yours." " I'm the one who went up there." " You should not have thrown it." " Give me that bird." " I did not agree." " But you let him do it." "And you want everything without doing anything." "You wanted it?" "You take care of it." "But if ever it dies..." " I'll get you, OK?" " OK." " Evening." " Evening." "Have you seen Mr de Fresnois?" "Yes, I took him on the accident site." " Are these capote buttons?" " Yes." "The factory got a big order for winter." "It means the war will last one more year" " Have you seen the kids?" " Yes." "I've even brought one down from a tree." " Which one?" " Your favourite obviously." " Two slaps from you." " I never told you to do so." "You've never said it, but someone needs to do it." " Right, Dad?" " We don't have to." " Mummy, look what I found." " Where did you find this?" "What are we gonna feed it?" " Bread in milk." " Make me some soup." "You picked up an animal, you take care of it now." "Here." "Eat." "Are you gonna eat?" "Here." "I found a home for your little pet." "As soon as it is healed, it will fly away." " You'll have to cut one of its wing." " No, I'll tame it." "It will stay if you love it." "It needs to eat or it'll faint." "Here, eat." "It's not very hungry." "So you only love me because I feed you, right?" "I'm going to prepare the vicar's communion wine." " You've got the shakes?" " Yes, I'm getting old." "Strange, there's always water left but never wine." "I see the vicar likes his white wine." "I do too actually." " The beer is coming." " I can hear." "Never mix wine and beer." "Anyway, I'll go." "Children, do not drink the vicar's wine." "Go on take care of the candles." "I'm going to have a little taste of the vicar's white." "I'm sure he's having a tipple." "The vicar's white is pretty good." "It's sweet, very tasty." "The vicar has good taste." "Another drop." "I'll put some water instead, he won't notice." "It's real nice." " You forgot your cocked hat." " That's right." "My outfit..." "I'm going to get dressed." "Here." " You look like Punch." " Maybe." "A little bit more?" " Want some more?" " Another drop." "Hmm, real tasty." "We need to put some back in, otherwise the vicar will get angry." "I've dropped my hat." "Here, let's pour a bit more" " My dear Child" " There's too much." " Too much?" " Another drop?" "The vicar's wine is so sweet." "So good, another shot!" "He's drinking it all." "What about me?" "Here my child." "Do you want another one?" "We're going to empty the bottle." "So you really think some people believe this story?" "That's what I've heard." "It seems a bit strange though." "I was told she went off the bridge." "But she was only 32." " She was unhappy." " There's an age gap." "20 years younger." " This is some strange accident." " Very strange." "Hervé, wait." " Pour me a coffee." " It's freshly made, coming." "Hello." "It's not hungry." "Come here, sweetie." "We will have it for diner soon." " Oh no, we won't eat it." " Yes, we will!" "Michel, look." "Come here." "The German Army." "See?" "Hey, what is this?" "Oh no!" "Marcel, enough playing with the kids in your Sunday clothes?" "Some coffee?" "No, thanks." "You've got enough?" "Sure?" "Forward!" "Some should keep their mouth shut." "Have you heard the old Mahu and Souchon?" "These ladies bad mouth everybody." "Marguerite, if ever I hear you gossiping..." "If one can't even talk anymore." " The Marquise was pretty." " But she didn't look happy." "When I was a maid at the castle, she was a very happy young woman." "She had changed." " How old was she?" " 32." "What an idea to marry a man 20 years older!" " That won't happen to you." " No chance, I like them young." " Except your dad." " That's not the same." "I forgot to order some jam, go and fetch some for me, please." "Take a jar of apricot." "Mum, can I go and play?" "Careful with your Sunday best." "After all this, I forgot to feed the chicken" " More coffee?" " If that's OK." "It's tasty." " Any letters from mother?" " Yes, some." "Hey, you're from HMS Dauntless!" "Albert, come and see." " Look." " My God!" "3 today, 3 last week." "I don't understand." " Unreal!" " Did you look the other day?" "I did, no hole anywhere." "We can't even eat them." "Only good to throw away." " Who done this?" " I don't know." " And mummy's letters?" " Not now, later." " What is this?" " If only we knew." "Daddy, who did this?" "It's not funny, Marcel." "Go in there." " You see, I have a prisoner." " It's not funny." "Let's draw to know who will be the Kraut." "You're the Kraut." "No, I don't want to." "Come on, Out!" "Go on, move." "Careful, we're armed." "Go on, move!" "Stand up!" "Turn around!" "Walk." " You'll shoot me in the back." " I will!" "I shoot where I want!" "Move!" "Move!" "Turn around!" "I hate you." "I win!" "The war is over!" "Listen, Michel." " You're ugly, take that helmet off." " No." "You like being the Kraut?" " You're ugly." " I did not want to." "Then don't let the others decide." "Swap around for once." "By virtue of the power "rested" in me," "I make you Knight of the Legion of Honour." " Stop!" " The Patrol!" " Hey, who stole my helmet?" " Hervé." "Come here and give it to me." "This is no joke." " Give me that." " Are you going to the airfield?" " You're taking us?" " Only the one who guesses right." "Ready?" "What colour was Henry IV's white horse?" " White!" " You win!" "Climb!" "It's not very comfy." "But let's go." "Make way for heroes, please." "Too bad, he will miss choir." "You're here already?" "You come early today." " Anything to report?" " No, no." " I want to see the planes." " Really?" "Today is Thursday." "It's choir day, so go home." "Can you park my..." "Picard, can you give me a hand to unload?" "Alright." "Come on, stop with the engine." "Leave it," "I'll get another one." "Pack your stuff up." "What a moron..." "There is enough to feed a whole family here." "You could not eat all this before the war ends." "That's nice..." "if you want to look like a bear." " Bierrot, come and give us a hand." " Sure." "Where is Albert?" "I've finished my watch, it's his turn." " What's happening?" " He scared me." "Not a very brave Home Guard." " Let's have a drink!" " A drink!" "It's on me." "Come on, hurry up!" "Making us wait." "Hello!" "The bear is back!" " That's real fur." " I'm covered for winter." "It's warm." "Come and have a drink." "I've heard your daughter can saw?" "Well, Lieutenant, she can manage." "Could she help my wife?" "She is moving to the village." "For sure." "Hey, you heard this?" "Pilots are lucky, they bring their wives." "I understand now." "Let's drink to our grease worm, it's his birthday." " But, that's the captain's muff?" " Yes, it's the warm muff of the captain!" "Always the same joke." " My dear Brothers!" " What are you doing here?" "You missed your calling." "I would have loved to be a vicar, but I did not have any education." "So I can only be a cleaner." "I'm going to polish the brass now." "So Valentine, arranging flowers?" "Very good, I am going to make the tabernacle shine." "The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" "That's very good, but you missed your calling." "That's right." "I would have been a priest." "But I could not." "Not educated enough." " That's a shame." " That's right." "A countryside vicar?" "That's right, it has a lot going for it." "Sunday roast on Sundays." " That's the main perk." " Yes, that's well nice." "Chicken roast every Sunday on the cheap." "No, it's just given to you." "That's normal." "And a lot of other small perks." "In the countryside, love of the vicar remains strong." " The respect." " Yes, that's the word." "No need to rush, sweetie!" "Enough nightingales up there in the choir." "Go!" "They sing up there." "And I polish!" "I can hear something wrong here." "Serge, can you sing on your own?" "And you, Jean?" "Pascal?" "My children," "We'll need many rehearsals to be ready." "And next Sunday is Grand Mass." "For us to succeed." "I beg you, rehearse and know the words." "Let's be clear." "Now we are going to do "I'll go and see her one day"." "Do you know it?" "They'll say I'm going for the aristocrat cos' I'm a socialist." "It has nowt to do with it." "We live in a Republic and the law is the same for all." "If de Fresnois has killed his wife, he should not dodge the law." "This whole story is weird." "Go and see the cart at the cartwright's." "The wheel did not come out of the hub on its own." "There was no pawl." "Hard to think that such a hero would do something like this." "A hero?" "You were there?" "He was gassed in 1916." "Gassed or not, hero or not, he did not make his wife happy." "She was too young for him." "And you, do you make your wife happy?" "We'll talk about this between us." "Gentlemen, I salute you." " Good morning, Mr le Marquis." " Good morning, Cotard." "And two packets of tobacco, please." "I did not see you at the funeral." "Is it because of your political opinions?" "I had a few deliveries to make around." "Of course, business first." " I will see you around, Mr Mahu." " Yes, goodbye, my Lord." "Goodbye, Mahu." "Marquis or not Marquis," "We'll see if he's still smug when in the papers." " Hello, Georges." " Hello, Étienne." "Still reading L'Action francaise?" "No interest to me anymore." "So why do you buy it?" "Life has to go on." "I'll be seeing you, your Grace," "Sure the Marquis sabotaged the cart." "My dad said so." "Listen, as I told you during washing, there is a spy signalling at dawn in the castle's garret." " What's the garret?" " It's the attic." " I dare anyone to go." " I will." "I dare you!" "He will be caught by the gardener, he won't make it." "It'd be good to transform the castle into an hospital." "What are you doing here?" "Who allowed you in here?" "What's your name?" "Translation:" "Colonel Gatito Timing:" "Corvusalbus, Besmel"
