"Hi, Kenny." "You OK?" "It's for you." "They're going to the mine." "Do you have my eau de Cologne?" "I couldn't find the big bottle... but I got two small ones." "Thanks!" "Bye, Kenny." "A perfect housewife!" "Send up another jackhammer!" "You're right, gramps." "But I turned over every rock in that country and I wouldn't be here if I'd found something." "You are all bastards." "And the more you talk about good intentions, the more women have to watch out." "Don't try the old line about a truck broken down at the border." "I've heard it a million times." "There you are, sir." " Hello." " Hello, sir." "I'll be right back." " Et voila!" " No hands!" "It can't be true." "I must be dreaming." "And this time, where have you been?" "From... rather far away." "Are you really going to drink that?" "Here, beautiful, buy yourself something." "So, this is finally it for real?" "And..." "How?" "I'll tell you later." "The baroness won't believe it." "By the way..." " How is she?" " Fine." "She's sleeping." "At this hour?" "She doesn't want to close." "We work day and night." "We take turns." "She's sleeping... alone?" "Yes!" "I mean... most of the time." " I'll go and see her." " No, listen..." "It would be better if I prepare the ground." " Why?" "Has she become emotional?" " I wouldn't put it like that but..." "I'll go." "Don't worry." " I'm on my way." " In the meantime, I have something to buy." " I'm on my way." " Sure." "I'll go." "Our life is a bouquet of violets that will never wither away." "Not bad." "Or else that'll only wither away if we don't believe in it." "Even better." "The keys are in the door." "Baroness, this bouquet..." "So?" "Still good at entertaining the ladies?" "Aldo." "Did you sleep well?" "I made quite a breakfast for you." "Voila!" "Madame's coffee is served!" "Have you ever see me drinking coffee?" "No..." "But you could have changed your tastes." " Not for coffee." "Well..." "I wanted to ask you..." "Did I leave some clothes here because while I'm here..." "In the attic." "The attic." "That's nice of you." "Still..." "You could have written occasionally." "To let me know how things were going." "Don't you think?" "You can't write letters and make a fortune at the same time." "And you... of course, you chose the fortune." "What's this?" "Another story." "Should I pretend I believe you?" " You don't have to." "Anyway this is gold." " I can see that." "How many of these have you got?" "I'll explain later." "Fuck off!" "Fucking hand brake!" "Hey loser, you failed again?" "Hello, Aldo." "Hello, Eleonore." "It's funny." "Lately, I've had the feeling you'd be coming back." "My goodness, what a touching reunion!" "Hold each other tight or you'll lose each other!" "I'll run over the first one to let go!" "I'll leave you two alone." "I'll fix that fucking hand brake." "And you won't believe what you'll see next time." "He was unlucky last time too." "A dog crossed the track." "You know Eleonore, I admire you." "Nothing ever surprised you." " And you, Aldo..." "Are you still selling illusions?" "And this?" "Is it an illusion?" "Do you have more of those?" " I'll explain later." " I got it." "You only have one." "See this?" "I have five like this waiting for me, full of nuggets." " Where to?" " Down a waterfall." "Down a waterfall!" "And of course, a thousand of miles from here." "Yes." "In the Rockies." "Aldo, give me one hour, I have a car to fix." "I had your mail sent on, did you get it?" "Say..." "Is she still living in London?" "I think so." "Eleonore?" "Listen, this time I swear everything is true." "And with the money we could go to Houston." "And this thing... we could get rid of it!" " Aldo..." " What?" "Not again." "He knows he'll never walk again." "He accepted it, leave him alone." "Leave us alone, Aldo." "Your moped already gave him back the taste for speed." "While he still should be riding that thing." "It's better than quitting, no?" "He'll break his nose against a mirage." "Bring three glasses." "I'll tell you everything." "What were you talking about?" "Even a lousy racer doesn't want to be taken for a fool." "He'll walk, he'll never walk..." "A small miracle..." "Do you want me to play the flute to go along with your sweet talk?" "What's it to you if I walk or not?" "What's with you?" "What do you want?" "You want to go to heaven?" "You're dreaming, you'll go to hell just like everyone else and you're going to leave me alone or I'll burn the house down!" "I'd blow everything, got it?" "!" "No..." "I won't burn everything." "The glasses!" "I'm no hero!" "Anyone can become one!" "Say, you know quite a lot of people on the port..." "Yes, why?" " Maybe you can give me a hand." " How's that?" " I'll need equipment." " Equipment?" "What equipment?" "Now..." "I'll really have to explain it to you." "Come." "Get off." "I can't believe it." "What are you telling me?" "I started a list for the equipment." "Let me show you." "Have a look." "Can you find all that?" "What?" " Do you realize what you're asking me?" "Trucks..." " Not "trucks", one truck!" "How much will it cost?" "Just for the guarantees..." "After we return, we can pay double, even triple of what they ask." "But they care about what we pay now." "Understood." "I'll think of something..." "Maybe the baroness..." "No, John." "Not the baroness!" "You have to give me your word." "Listen, it's easy: find the equipment and you're part of it, forced to get rich!" " And I'll become a hero at the same time." " Better than that: you'll become like Christ." "Because you'll see my friend walk." "That feels so good!" "See that?" "What's up?" "What's with you now?" " Nothing." "Nothing at all." "Who'll get the chair now?" " You, buddy." "You, of course!" "I'm glad to see you!" " How are you?" "Hey, look!" "Look who's there!" "I'll be back." " Are you planning to stay a few more days?" " Yes." "We're celebrating our five year wedding anniversary next Sunday, we'd like you to be there." " Of course!" "I wouldn't miss it." " Give me your helmet." "We'll get a seat before you start." " Bye." "A track is a beautiful thing." "I've wanted to tell something for a long time." "Can I?" "I'm very glad that it was your wheel that touched mine." "That way, I don't hold a grudge against anyone." "It helped me a lot." "You can take it out." " Do you want me to bring the Dodge in?" " Yes, if you don't mind." "When these floats are pushed by 250 horsepower, it's going to be real fine!" "250 horsepower, do you realize!" "?" " It's fine!" "It's fine, It's fine..." "You want more every day." "I told you we'll force you to get rich." "Come on!" "See, Gerard?" "She draws almost no water this way." "Yes." "Especially on the grass!" "So you told to yourself:" ""That gentle idiot baroness, she'll just take out her checkbook."" " Don't, baroness!" "I'm a dead man." "Or almost." "I swore." "He made me swear on my honour I wouldn't ask you." "Your honour?" "After 10 years, baroness." "I thought you had more respect for me." "John." "Come back at once." "Your day isn't starting well." "You know what happens when I get hungry?" "Imbecile!" " His buddy's wife is charming." " And so sweet!" "Come with us." "We'll show you something." "I'm happy for Gerard." "I really am." " You are really athletic." " Thanks." "Much less than I was." "I taught physical education." "You can still stand." "Come on!" "Do it!" "He's still young." "And he's doing the same old tricks." "I think it's not so bad." "Six to one!" " Yeah, I won some races!" "..." " How fast can it go?" "Rather fast..." "Please don't touch that, honey." " What's that long stuff?" " Yes, the machine weighs about..." "See that thing up there?" "It's here to keep the balance." "Do you want us to push you?" "Happy birthday!" "Happy birthday!" "And now, the special one, the one for the Grands Prix." "The last one we have." "Watch out, step back." "Ready." "Any news from John about the hoist and the truck?" " No, but I trust him." " It's maybe time to go." "We have time." "Where they are, the crates are safer than in a bank." "I wanted to ask..." "The indians?" "What?" "What could have become of them?" "Did you think about it?" "No." "Each his own way." "They are interested, but they want to think about it." "Then, let them think about it." " Would you have dinner with us, Aldo?" " No, I can't." "I'll eat with the baroness." "What's the time?" " Almost five." " Well, kids, see you tomorrow." " Yeah, sure." "Come and sit." "We'll soon be up in the Rockies." "Not bad for the honeymoon we never had." "Don't get too involved in his dreams." "Him, he always get over it." "Even if it's only a dream." "It's too beautiful to be missed." " Do we need gold crates?" " Of course not!" "Then, so what?" "Dinner time!" " What's wrong?" " Nothing." "You look great." "Thanks to the candles." "And shadows." "Time goes by, Aldo." " Not on you." " My word, it's a declaration!" " Why not?" " Maybe the next time you come back." "No." "Anyway the next trip will be short." "Wait..." "Are we speaking about the same thing?" "Because with you..." "Yeah, yeah..." "Frankly, Aldo..." "A treasure under a waterfall?" "Decidedly..." " You don't believe me." "You'll see." "You'll see." "Do you know where I'll take you after?" "In a tropical island." "Don't you like tropical islands?" " Everyone does." " Then what?" "I'll take you to a terrific place, where I have wonderful friends." "Ruffians, probably." "You know, baroness..." "We have a whole life to have fun." "And all death to rest." "The crabs weren't bad." "Do you want to walk a little?" "Can you see at night with your blue eyes?" "My eyes are black, bastard!" "I landed in Canada on one of those." "As a stowaway." " How old were you?" " 16." "A tough journey." " In the captain's cabin?" " Bastard!" "Have you seen a guy running?" "Medium-sized, 25 years old." " What has he done?" " We don't know, he ran off." " We haven't seen anyone." " Thanks." "As long as one still has his legs to run..." "I brought someone who wants to buy a car." "I don't want to disturb you in your relentless work." "What are you doing?" "Rehearsing a play?" "You're right, we're working too much." "What about a small intermission?" "It's chilly at first, then it's alright." " Coffee?" " Oh yes, thanks!" "The picnic was a good idea." "Usually on Sundays, it's shopping." " One doesn't want to get old, the other wants to stay young, we'll never be broke!" "There are some men you just can't do without." " But she's crazy!" "Never tell them such a thing!" " It's too late." "Are you a real baroness?" " I was a singer." "And a baron was sending me flowers." "Truckloads of roses." "Some jealous people nicknamed me the baroness." " Why did you stop?" " Because roses really give me a headache!" "And all that packing and unpacking." "Unfortunately for me, the thirsty ones fancy me." "Baroness..." "Where are they?" " Here, on the right." " Wise guy." " You didn't tie it well, buddy." "You think that's funny?" "How do I come back, now?" "Don't scare the fish." "Go to the other side, if you want." "You speak of them as if they were only one person." " Did you meet them together?" " Yes." "Together." " What a blast!" " I was on holiday in France." "In the fall." "I was visiting the Eiffel tower with a group." "At first, the other people screamed but I was riveted." "Listen to me, young man." "Don't do it." "Come back to the stairs." " I don't want to live anyone." "They lied to me too much." " But look how nice the people are." " All liars!" " Come back." "Let's have a drink." "Anyway it's forbidden to jump off the Eiffel tower." " I don't give a damn!" " I wanted to run and hold him back." "I think I loved him from that moment." "So long, bunch of bastards!" "I think they wet their pants!" "I had two weeks of holidays left." "At first, I didn't understand their life." "Having fun while they worked." "Or working while having fun." " So?" " Fine." "Can you look at the back?" "So?" "I couldn't look at the date on my plane ticket." " Hey you, my money!" " What money?" "You've lost!" "Who, me?" "Stop it!" "Departure for Montreal and Chicago..." "I tried to leave them laughing, like in an American comedy." " What about getting married?" " Where?" "In the plane?" "I'll come and get you." "I'll win a couple of races and I come." "He was always believing he'll win." "Later, he looked more and more like his friend Aldo." "Aldo, who believed life was still before him." " See you soon." " I'll wait for you." "And one day, they came back." " Convenient for them." "No!" "Don't believe that." "They didn't come for comfort or kindness." "Gerard didn't even want to see me." "It was Aldo who brought him back." "It was night time, I remember." "You've hardly spoken." "Excuse me." "You're not sleeping?" " Not with that trip to organize." "Have a look." "See here?" "That's the mine he was working at." "And here... it's the waterfall." " The current took the crates away." " No." "I spoke with guys used to rapids." "There's a whirlpool phenomenon." "They'll stay right under the falls." " If you say so." "How much does that joke cost?" " About $50,000." "Mostly because of the guarantees." "Do you have a minute for me, anyway?" "Take this, and if you tell that bastard about it, then I'm no longer your friend." "That's it!" "We've got the truck and trailer!" "The English lake." "The pontoon." "Fasten your seatbelt." "You OK?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "It's better that way." "Et voila!" "Where do you think you're going?" "We've got company." ""And from the top of their white caravel, they watch the horizon rising..."" "I hope you don't plan to travel unnoticed." " See, baroness?" "Better than a tent full of snakes." " And rheumatism..." "A real fairytale, isn't it, John?" "So, they took you in?" " Yes, luckily." "And you, you're sure you don't want to come?" "Yes, I hate camping and I have a mosquito skin." " Wanna drink something?" " No." " Coffee?" "Say..." "Once we're on the river, how long to reach the waterfall?" " One or two days." " Not more?" " If all goes well." "It can take a week, I don't care, I'm in no hurry." "We better fill the tanks here, it's the last station." "It's over." "Look." "Gerard, please give me the keys." "Go get some beer, I'll have the tanks filled." "I thought you'd get angry." " Do you have beer?" " Certainly." " Then give me three packs for thirsty men." " Right away." " What did those two do to you?" " They woke us up last night." "And for my pal, sleep is sacred." "What's this machine?" "For the lake?" "No!" "We're heading to Wacta river's waterfall." " You're going to the dam!" " No, we're conducting a search!" "Search?" "What kind?" "The kind that aren't your business." " Put your life jacket on!" " Me?" "Why, is it dangerous?" " Put it on!" " Yeah, yeah..." "We'll tie her up after the turn." "John, watch the front." "Gerard, come over here." "Take this." "Eleonore, take the rope and throw it to me when I'll tell you." "Ready?" " Yeah." "Careful in front!" "More, Gerard!" "Throw it." "Cut the engine, Gerard." "I've moored the hoist cable." "Let it go until I say stop." "Give me my gloves." "Eleonore, the rope." "Give it to me, John." " Yeah..." "Give me some slack." " Careful of your fingers!" " Yeah!" "Stretch it." "Fine." " Hey, Aldo..." " What?" " Do you think we can touch the bottom?" " Not you." "Wait..." "Let it go, Gerard." "Keep going." "Give me some slack." "Keep going." "John, don't stay there, I can't see a thing!" "Here we are." "Start to slow down." "Good." " Can I let go?" " Yeah." "Gerard, can you hear me?" "I'm in place." "Listen carefully:" "aim to the right of the dead tree." "To the right of the dead tree, OK." "Give me the hook." "Remember when we screwed around on the Eiffel tower?" "Go ahead, pull." "Thank you!" "Are you OK?" "Can I help you?" "Some friends of mine told me about a nice waterfall in the area." "You seem to have come a long way." " Rather far, yes." " Just like the others." "I know the waterfall." "They're waiting for me and my zodiac." "Do you have a boat?" "No." "You'll need a boat." "So..." "Can I take you?" "Slowly, don't drop it!" " Look at that!" " Give me the pliers." "We've got the first one, Aldo!" "We're just trying to open it." "Shit!" "I didn't believe it." "Baroness, if you could see this!" "Say..." "There's even gold on top of the trip!" " Yes, I have it." " Down slowly." " A little more." " What?" "There's a third one." " Let it down." "He says he can't find more but he'll keep looking." "Tell him to come back, he's taken enough risks." "Here's the third one." "Watch your feet." "Hello, my friends." "Hey, shorty, remember me?" " Do you know him?" " No." "I mean..." "Baroness!" " What do you want?" " Weren't you expecting him?" "Not really." "It's best to carry a gun around here, but..." "I come as a friend." "A friend very who's interested in your search." "Especially when you mentioned the falls when you bought your beer." "I'm talking and your friend below will maybe need oxygen." " Precisely, let's pull him out." "But first, I'd like these three crates to be loaded onto my zodiac." " It's too heavy." "They can't carry them." " The two ladies look fit." "They'll help." "You too." "As for me, I don't obey anyone." "Do you want me to kill him?" "Let him go, now!" "Hey, muscle man!" "Is it coming or not!" "?" "What are you gonna say?" "That Aldo ran out of air?" "That we were unlucky?" "Come on!" "One day or another, anyone can become a hero." "If I wanted to!" "It'll be a crime of fear." "He'll empty the whole magazine!" "Baroness, I'm a hero!" "I'm a hero!" "I lost, it appears." "I've always been a good sport." "Parting as a good sport." "Not that way!" "That way." "There's no trail." "It will take me at least two days to get out." " So you won't be on our back." " If you'd rather have a bath..." "Explain something to me..." "What exactly happened with that guy?" "We met at the motel..." "So?" " We just had a small chat..." " About what?" "He just asked where we were going." "And you told him what we were up to." "Is that it?" "Such stupidity has to be celebrated!" " Give it to me!" " The price of gold has risen." "$22,000 per kilo." " Naughty baroness: always in on the best deals!" " You bet!" "Stop that... you bastard!" "You won't believe me even when I die!"
