"My father calls this "The Wall of the Canavaros"." "For 100 years, rugby has been like a religion in our family." "It's a family duty, an obligation." "Great-grandfather, grandfather, uncle, the Canavaros have all been rugby players, even at international level." "My father, who played fly-half for RC Doumiac, always says proudly:" ""The Canavaros are a trademark." ""Cursed is he who breaks the tradition."" "This is my father:" "Jo Canavaro." " Jo, is the tie necessary?" " Yes." "It looks like a pea on a pumpkin." "Yes." "Here, son." "We're not going to a wedding, dad." "Give me a break, Pompon." "Sorry, I'm adjusting." "Put this on, Tom." "No, no and no!" "Don't we look good!" " Do you know what blazer this is?" " No." "It's from the semi-final against Agen in 1982." "This, my friend, rocks!" "You must have lost!" "Isn't it lovely?" "Yes, Pompon." "That's why we live here." "We lost because of the referee, not the blazer." "Stop making fun of us, and focus on the game, because we've not found a club for you yet." "Knees up, Tom." "There." "Higher, the knees." "Higher." "The knees lift your feet up." "It all helps you to run." "Shit!" "Jo, calm down." "What?" "I'm not allowed to talk to my son?" "The red 10 is Jo's son." "He's my son." "JO'S SON" "Great start!" "Footwork, Tom!" "Get ready." "Watch out, red 7." "You're off-side." "There's Frontignan." "He was the only one missing." "Leave the ball to the blue team." "Go for the legs." "The legs, red team!" "The legs!" "Good job, Titi." "Good job, my son." "Go, Titi!" "Titi's family had better calm down." "Good job, Titi." "Go, Tom." "Good job!" "Forward pass, red." "A forward pass?" "There was no forward pass!" "Oh!" "Who's that referee?" "Get your eyes checked!" "Unbelievable." "Reds, you're offside." "Yes, behind the line." "There." "The legs!" "Go for the legs." "The legs!" " Tom!" " Straight ahead, Titi." "That's right, there." "The legs!" "Go, Tom." "Go, my man." "Stop him." "No!" " Try for blue." " That's good, Titi." " You can see he's scared." " That's good, Titi." "Please, Jo." "Not today." "OK, Pompon." "One more time, he'll be out of play for 6 months." " That's good!" "You're the best, son." "He kicked me like a faggot." "You don't even know how to tackle, and you want to be an All Black." "In New-Zealand, there are two types of guys:" "rugby players and sheep." "You're good for making wool pullovers." "Teach me how to tackle, if you're that good." "You can't teach tackling." "Did anyone teach me?" "You can't teach tackling." "You either like it or not." "Can you help me, Jo?" "It stings." "Yeah, put your head up." "Jo, you're annoying, fighting with the whole world." "It's the last time I'm helping you." "You're not helping." "You're participating, it's different." "I'm not talking about the forward pass." "We'll buy you some hands." "He made a forward pass of 5 m." "I was ashamed." "I just wanted to hide!" "Sorry, but as for feeling ashamed, starting a fight is no better!" "Know what I'm going to do?" " What?" " Take a look." "You can keep the jersey!" "I'm sick of your rugby!" "I'm sick of it!" "What's all this?" "I'm not forcing you to play!" "Hey!" "Come back!" "Go ahead, play the little girl." "I should be crying." "Am I crying?" "I'm sorry, Jo." "We're not taking your son." "Give him a chance, Pilou." "You can't judge a boy on one match." "Jo, let me make things clear." "We've been Central champions for 3 years." "This year, we're trying to win the national title." "To do that, we don't need your son." "Alright, I understand." "RMC, hello. 6:59 am." "In a moment, the news." "Jo!" "I'm waiting." "I've other things to do." "What else have you got to do?" "I've got a lot of things to do." "I've got projects..." "I'm going to take a big step." "In the meanwhile, you'll repaint the field and fill in the holes." "Hello, Mr. Pompon." "Hello, Miss Quentin." "How are you?" "We're fixing things." " Have a good day, Mr. Pompon." " You too, Miss Quentin." "Pompon, are you going to do the lines?" "I'll start with the holes." "That's good, the holes." "You're a pain, Jo." "Miss Quentin, shit!" "Hurry up, we'll be late." "Why did whatshisname call me in?" "Did you get into trouble?" "No." ""Whatshisname" is the new educational advisor." "He wants to see everyone's parents." "If you looked at my grades, you'd see I got 17 in math and 15 in French." ""17 in math", bravo!" "But then, what does it matter." "What are you going to do in life, with math?" "Your math teacher looks like an alien." "He's been teaching for 30 years." " Great career!" " You can't do anything without math." ""You can't do anything without math"." "And what do you do with math?" "Become a pilot, for example." "Calm down." "We're in Doumiac, not in Orly." "I didn't need math to succeed in life." ""A pilot." Why not king of Morocco?" "Being a Mason is a Craft" "I've good news." "Tonight I'll teach you how to tackle." "Dad, you didn't understand." " I'm not doing that." " What?" "You have to work hard in life." "Hey!" "You're a Canavaro." "Don't forget." "How many electricity poles are there on this road?" "What?" "52." "I don't give a damn, I'm telling you." "But..." "you were right counting them, because someone in the town hall wants to get rid of them." "The guy is determined." " Who?" " My ass." "27-26, my friend." "Yeah." "We said anytime, anywhere." "High five." "That's how it is!" ""52 poles..."" "My son will be an accountant." "Just my luck." "Alice, I have a little problem to sort out." "Be right back." "Jo Canavaro in person." "To what do I owe this?" "Of all your blows, yesterday's was the worst." "Only an asshole attacks a kid to get at his father." "Don't worry, man." "We'll meet again." "He's picking up chestnuts now." "Honestly..." "Chinese?" "What are you doing here?" "We had an appointment at 4 pm." "Are you kidding?" "I'm the educational advisor, my friend." "That leaves you dumbstruck!" "It's been years." "The Chinese, shit." "Good God." "Zoomba, zoomba, zoom Zoomba, zoomba, zoom" "Go, RC Doumiac" "Go, RC Doumiac" "Zoomba, zoomba, zoom Zoomba, zoomba, zoom" "Go, RC Doumiac" "Go, Go, RC Doumiac" "Shit, the Chinese!" "Shit!" " You've not changed." " You neither." "Oh, shit." "What did you do in New Zealand?" "I played rugby for a while." "2 or 3 scraps..." "They hadn't seen that before." "I became "The Legend of the Region"." "And then, I stayed." "You needed people here to forget you." "You'd gone out with all the women of the region." " That was bullshit, Jo." " Of course." "In New Zealand, the fields are full of sheep." "The wool I ate..." "Put a wolf among the sheep, he'll know what to do." "In any case, things have changed here." "The boy's mother, Camille, where is she?" "Camille died... in a car accident." "Tom was 1 year old." "I'm sorry, Jo." " You didn't remarry?" " A woman?" "Yes, with tits and all, Jo." "It's been just Tom and me for 12 years." "To put a woman between us wouldn't be proper." "So how do you...?" "I manage." "That's Boulon's daughter." "What?" "The one you're checking out is Boulon's girl." ""Boulon's girl"?" "Good job, Boulon." "If you don't want to play, you don't want to play." "Pompon will fix your problem." "When Pompon's there, the pain goes." "I've had it up to here with your father." "Your child collects chestnuts, and you were a fighter." "That's life." "He has 22 balls." "He never took one to school." "That says everything." "Watch out, you're pissing on my shoes." "Why are you watching me piss?" "To see what something useless looks like." "We'll show them who the men are." "Right, I see." "Chief, please." "We've got the winners of the night." "The living pig." "Enough joking!" "Show me your papers." " I don't have them." " Sorry?" "Let me explain." "Every time I go out, I drink a lot and I lose them." "I don't take them along anymore, so I won't lose them." " It makes sense." " Yeah." "We've got two clowns." "Look." " Hello, Jo." "How are you?" " Good." "Shit, the Chinese!" "In flesh and bones." "Every time I see you, it's a shock." "My "Shaft", you're still with the police?" "Doing my best." "That's life." "Guys, see this?" "You weren't sucking ice cubes." "We wanted to." "But the freezer broke down." " You've been to Milord." " Well, maybe." "They went to Milord." "You don't know it." "Off you go, but it's the last time." "Agreed?" "Take it easy." "OK?" "I can trust you?" " Shaft, we love you." " Me too, Chinese." " Do you know who they are?" " No." "Gods." "Jo, I have to talk to you about Tom." "He doesn't want to play rugby anymore." "There." "Straight to the point." "Good God, there you are." "Go, Pompon." "Jo, we have to talk." "It's about Tom." "Because..." "Because nothing." "Alright?" "Alright, alright." "Get going, go." "Pain in the ass, Pompon." "What did I miss out, there?" " Everything good, kids?" " Yes, sir." " Take the 11 am recess." " Of course, M. Cahuzac." "That's kind of you." "Miss Dintrans, keep an eye on Mr. Cahuzac." "He's a strange advisor, believe me." "Are you OK, Tom?" "You're not playing?" "No, sir." "You look as though you'd like to." "What's the problem?" "I'd like to, but the problem is my dad." "I only play rugby well when he's not there." "And since he's always there..." "If you talk to your dad, he'll listen." "You don't know him." "Right." "The Maori All Blacks say:" ""Kia kaha, kia toa."" "It means "Be proud, be strong."" "They also say:" ""Nobody can stop you from becoming what you want."" "Nobody, not even your father." "The All Blacks are not the only ones saying that." "You know the All Blacks?" "I played against them, in Wellington." " They beat the hell out of us." " That's normal." "Would you like to learn from an All Black?" "See me later." "We'll talk about the All Blacks." "Don't tell your father, because I don't think he'll like it." "Shit." "Town Hall" " Hello, Cathy." " Hello, Jo." "Boulon!" "Aren't you tired of not talking to me?" "Carry on then." "Gentlemen, hello." "It's the opening anthem for the feasts of Doumiac, so I'm telling you that we're going to work day and night." "I want perfection." " OK?" " OK." "Ah." "Jo." "Thanks for coming." "Come in." "Sit down." "Wait, sit over there." "Sorry for the fanfare." "Boulon thinks he's conducting the New York Philharmonic." "It's like a festival." "It reminds me match days." "Bois de France has been taken over." "Production has begun." "So I reinstated the feasts of Doumiac." "That's great." "What did you want to talk about?" "Jo, so..." "Well..." "How shall I put it?" "Well, I wanted to see you because of a problem, because..." "The land, where you live with Tom and..." "What's the other one's name?" " Pompon." " What? "Pompon." Yes." "Well, the council has sold the land." "You didn't know?" "What do you mean, "sold"?" "Bernard, are you joking?" "It was sold to the English who bought Bois de France." "It was the sine qua non for the acquisition." "You understand?" "You sold the field of the Canavaro, that was built in 1903 by my great-grandfather." "Are you mad, Bernard?" "I'm reminding you that it's no longer yours." "Your great-grandfather gave it to the town." "It's ours." "There." "He was worried a Canavaro would make a mess of it." "Your family of lumberjacks aren't exactly Nobel Prize winners." "You're making a mistake." "Great." "I'm not surprised." "When we played, you always sneaked up from behind." "To you, Jo." "To your wife Camille and your son Tom." " Guys, are we playing that game?" " Yes!" "Look at dad." "He plays well." "Did you see how well your dad's playing?" "He's asleep, the bugger!" "I'm sorry, Jo." "We're not taking your son." "We don't need him." "I'm sick of your rugby!" "Jo, you're scaring me." "You're scaring me." "We sold it, Jo." "Let me make things clear." "We don't need him." "Son, wake up." "We have to talk." "Pompon!" "Pompon!" "Get up." "Does this wall mean anything to you?" "I'll make it simple:" "we'll start a team." "Tom, you'll show them who you are and where you're from." "Alright, gentlemen." "OK?" "Good night." "I can't believe the English who bought the factory are kicking you out." "English like him..." "Do you know how the English walk?" " With a carrot in their ass." " And not grated carrots." "No!" " Who'll talk first?" " Me." "Gentlemen, hello." "Alice Hamilton, the new manager of Bois de France." "Robert Cahuzac, educational advisor, aka "the Chinese"." " Pleasure." " Pompon." "Like two "ponts", but together." "And you're Mr. Canavaro, I suppose." "You wanted to see me?" "Yes." "Right, Jo?" "Go ahead." "I thought you wanted to speak first." "OK, thanks." "I understand." "So..." "We want to set up a rugby team." "Rugby is a beautiful sport." "You, in England, know that." "We're participating in the Central tournament, a beautiful competition, but we would need to use the field." " That's what we were saying." " Yes, that's it." " Right, Jo?" " Yes." "First, I'm Irish, Mr. Cahuzac." "Not English." "I will use the field for the stock." "I need it." "I can't help you." "Look." "We've got to go." "I never lived here, and I'm about to cry." "My grandfather said: "If you cry, you'll go to boarding school."" "Actually, I've never cried." "Yes, you have." "No, never." "Yes, when grandpa died." "How do you know?" "You weren't there." "I was told." "And who told you that I cried at grandpa's funeral?" " Who told you?" " My ass." "You think that's funny." " You two are jerks." " That's funny." "Sorry." " Boulon's giving it his all." " Featherhead!" "It's awful." "There." "No, to the left." "Shit, it's not in the middle." "What?" "It's in the middle." "No, see for yourself, if you don't believe me." "Look, here." "Stop it." "There." "It's in the middle but not centered." "Do you get the difference?" "Why ask for my opinion, if you don't want it?" "If one of you could help me, I'd be grateful." "I'm not moving in." "Help him, it's not centered." ""Middle", "center"..." "Pain in the ass, Jo." "Pompon, look up the meaning of "centered"." "I turned the gas and electricity back on." "I think you'll be great here." "We've been trying to sell this place for 10 years." "Now it's being used." "Thanks, it helps us out." " Hello, Mr. Pompon." " Hi, Miss Quentin." " How are you?" " Fixing things." " I'll be off." " See you, Miss Quentin." "If you need anything, please let me know." "That's kind." "That's very kind of you, Miss Quentin." ""That's very kind of you, Miss Quentin."" "Shit, I swear, I don't believe it." "Jo, a friend of mine is coming." "Could he stay at your place?" "No problem." "Your friends are mine." "Thanks." "I'm ready." "Are we going?" "That's new." "Have you decided to play rugby now?" "27-27." "We agree?" "Whatever you say." "Let's go, Chinese!" "Come back, come back." "Go!" "Loosen up, guys." "You'll be fine here, Alice." "I'm sorry about the neighbors." "They're not the region's finest." "Go, Pompon." "Lower." " We should recruit players." " Don't worry." "When they hear about the team, people will come from all around." "I brought Champagne." "That's kind, but I want to be alone tonight." "I have to unpack." " Isn't life great?" " It's the 10th time." "There'll be an eleventh one!" "Go, push." "Go, go." "Wait, misfortune is coming." "Mr. Frontignan..." "like a slap in the face" "Cut it out, Chinese, that's over now." "Zoomba, zoomba, zoom" "Those were the good old days." "Now, I do the slapping." "How are you, Jo?" "I heard you moved." "You want to start a team for the boy, that's good." "And I see that it's taking shape." "You have a nice field." " Why did you come?" " You don't know?" "The 1st match of the tournament is in 6 weeks, against us." "Aren't you scared your kid will show himself up?" "You know what, Jo?" "I pity you." "Oh, Jo... in 6 weeks..." "Right?" "Why don't you give him a beating?" " I'd be happy to help." " The bastard's not a nail." "We'll not defeat him by hitting him on the head." " Isn't that right, Pompon?" " Yes." "Training is over." "Did you get the nail thing?" "Of course, he's not worth a bag of nails." "What are you talking about?" "I was told it would work." "Nobody wants to work with him." "Not just because he's in debt." "What's the problem between Jo and Frontignan?" "It's simple." "Camille should've been Mrs.Frontignan and lived in a Castelroc palace." "But she preferred to live in a clubhouse in Doumiac." "That's all." "Frontignan hasn't got over it." "To take revenge, he killed rugby in Doumiac." "He got his own way." "Yes, he did." "Tell me." "For the cash, can you help us out?" "How can I lend 10 to someone who owes 50?" "Caillou..." "Caillou!" "I'll do what I can." "There you go." "Where there's a will..." "See you, Caillou." " Hey, Chinese!" " Yes?" "Do you remember my wife Marie?" "Yes, Marie, yes." "I was wondering if she and you, at the time..." "You had a reputation with married women, so..." "Please don't lie to me." "Caillou, honestly..." "He's a real asshole, Frontignan." "It's 50 m!" "Count again." "It's not 50 m." "Pain in the ass, Jo." "Go!" "Where did you dig up this guy?" "Pompon?" "Pompon is Pompon." "He came here 13 years ago on his scooter." "He cut lemons during a match and never left." "He told us that his father was an ambassador." "We pretended to believe him." "I think he's an orphan." "The worst is that every year, on All Saints' Day, he puts flowers on his mother's grave." "That's unusual for an orphan." "Maybe he had a mother." "48..." "Yes, but it's never the same grave." "You're right." "He's a special case." "50." "I have good eyes." "What did I say?" "So, how come you never married?" "You have to be ready, if you want to marry." "The train from Rabastens is arriving on Platform 1." "Hey, Titou." " Hi, Pompon." "How are you?" " Good, great!" " You're leaving?" " Yes, I'm leaving." " Have a good trip." " Thanks, Titou." "Thanks." "Go on, Pompon." "The train is leaving please mind the closing doors." "Hello, Mado." "Robert?" "I wanted to say sorry, for the last time." "I left quickly." "I needed to think and take some time, to take a real decision." "Well, now, I'm ready." "But Robert, it's been 15 years." "Yeah." " I waited 1 year, 2 years, and..." " Mado, is there a problem?" "No, it's nothing." "I rebuilt my life." "I can see that." "I'm happy." "Great, all the better." "Happy to see you." "Yes... 5 weeks before the match" "It's 7 am, Jo." " You asked me to come over." " Phone beforehand." " I didn't know." " Obviously." "Boulon's girl..." "I was sick tonight." " Really?" " Probably the mussels." "Of course." "Go, the shoulders." "You can't tackle without your shoulders." "I think the valve is jammed." "It's not only the valve." " Again." " Go." "Use your shoulder." "Go!" "No, no!" "You're afraid." "Look." " Shit!" " There." "I told you not to put your fingers in." "When someone annoys you in the schoolyard, what do you do?" "I understand." "You're scared." "When someone annoys you in the schoolyard, there's only one solution:" "the Canavaro theorem." "You smash his face in." "We've been looking for solutions for 10,000 years, but for these kind of problems, there's no better one." "Courage comes with daring, Tom." "All that for Jo's son." "Who would trust Jo Canavaro?" "He's a loser." "Even if he has a team, he'll take a thrashing." "He should have learned table tennis." "There he is." "You can tell him yourself." "I'll leave you." "He's in shape these days." " I'll put up more flyers." " Well, do that." "Have fun." "Gentlemen..." " Hello, Jo." " Hello." "Thanks." "See you." "Shit, the Chinese!" "Boulon!" " Doumiac's terror." " How are you?" "Watch out, gentlemen." "Hide your hens." "The rooster is back." "You're here?" "Don't ask me to help you with your team." "We're not on good terms with Jo." "Don't ask why, OK?" "OK, Boulon." " Where are you going?" " There." "Me too." "Actually, I forgot something in my car..." " I'll call you." " Wait, Chinese." "Wait." "Do you remember Fanfan?" "My daughter." "Oh yes, your little daughter." "I remember." " Look at her." " What?" " Look, she's there." " Where?" " There." " Oh." "Damn, Fanfan!" "She's changed." "We're celebrating her 28th birthday today." ""28 years." That makes her a woman." "Careful." "The first to hurt her, will get a Boulon beating." " We'll meet again?" " Yes." " Goodbye, Chinese." " See you." "He's a friend." "He's the Chinese." "I was right to insist on the rugby." "Are you starting to like it?" "Was he a great player, the Chinese?" "The Chinese?" "He was a scoundrel." "But a man to go to war with." "With a sense of honor... and dignity." "Do they teach you those words in school?" "If you went to the meetings, you'd know." "That's it..." "Teachers are like referees:" "the fewer I see, the better." "Tell me, Tom." "I never see you with girls." "Is that normal?" "Isn't there a girl you find beautiful?" "You're always with Bouboule." "I've never seen you with a girl." "Always with Pompon." "Come on... are you mad?" " It's the same thing." " Pompon, it's not the same." "Tell me, dad, can I ask you a question?" "When will you get me a cell phone?" "Never." ""Hello?" "How're you?" ""What are we doing?" "Yes, alright."" "All day on the phone, that's no good." "There're other things to do." "Never." "A triangle..." "Get up, get up." "Sit, sit." "This is Fanny Hamilton." "She's Irish." "She doesn't speak much French." "Therefore I ask you to be nice to her." "Have a seat." "So, where were we?" "Pythagoras's theorem..." "We start with a rectangular triangle, correct?" "If I join your team, I'll destroy everything." "I believe you, Bouboule." "Gentlemen..." "Gentlemen..." "What's going on here?" "Mr. Cahuzac is talking to parents about the slack behavior of some students." "That's good, very good." "Good job." "I'm reading: "Puissagay Antoine." ""French: 5 average." "History-Geography: 3."" "Yet studying would suffice." ""Math:" "undisciplined student," ""distracts classmates."" "I don't know what to do with this child." "It's catastrophic." "I don't know what to say." "But, I saw in his sports record that he's very good at PE." ""20 out of 20." Nothing to say." " And he's good at rugby." " Yes, he's good." "He's just good or really good?" "He's very, very good." "Where does he play?" "In Moissac." ""In Moissac"?" "That's a pity." "Maybe there's a solution, Mr. Puissagay." "Mr. Porcu?" "Don't worry." "I put flyers everywhere." "The kids will come." "By the way, Jo." "I forgot to tell you..." "He came to see you... the other day, Wednesday." "Don't you want to know who?" "Give me a nail, Pompon." "You're not good, Pompon." "Tell me, Pompon, don't you want to scream, sometimes?" "Why, Jo?" "To express yourself, to say things." "Why, Jo?" ""Why, Jo?" To be like a man, for God's sake." "Whatever happens..." "I smile, you smile." "I cry, you cry." "I'm hot, you sweat." "That can't go on." "Wake up." "You're a mere shadow." "You know what happens to the shadow, at midday?" "It disappears." "Do you need more nails?" "We'll try something else first." "I'll count to 3." "You'll go that way, and I'll go this way." "Let's try?" "Go." "Go. 1... 2 and 3." "Go." "Well, let's finish this fence." "Yes, yes." "If you need more nails, Jo, there are plenty." "I've got one." " Jo..." " What?" "I'm happy to be with you." "Me too, Pompon." "Me too." "Hello." "Hello." "Can we talk?" "Yes." "I didn't know a family lived here for 100 years." "I didn't want to drive you out." "I'm sorry." "Do you have a problem?" "It doesn't start." " Have you used the starter?" " I don't know." "You shouldn't." "You drowned the motor." "You have to stop the starter and try again." "I've the same one in Ireland." "The "starter"?" "I'd be surprised." " See you." " See you." "The valve!" "This thing has been bugging me for an hour." "You know when you hurt me?" "When you told me that Santa doesn't exist." "I was 5 years old." "Yeah." "It was time for you to find out." "Life is not Christmas." "You're wrong about Santa." "I'm sure he exists." "And you know who he is?" ""Who-my ass" for Pompon's level." "You're not ready to score, man." "What's that?" "Let's get out." "It's Santa." "Go, Fifi." "Chinese, we agree on my son?" " No problem?" " You have my word." "My word is my word." "But I need your bus for the trips." " No problem." " So everything's fine." "Does that look like a team or what?" "Yes." "Look, all this is for you." "I have to go." "I'll explain later." "I need to go, got to work." "So, I'll be off." "Bye, miss!" "So, Mr. Canavaro, where is the All Black?" "The All Black." "The training with the All Black, it's not today?" "I brought my camera." "Chinese!" "Yeah?" "What's going on?" "Tell me." "Jonah Tukalo, the All Black who should train my team..." "I mentioned it to the parents, just like that." "And you agreed to take him in." "So your friend, that was him." "Now I understand Tom's sudden interest for rugby." "You should be an athlete." "You keep running away." "And you, with your construction sites, you're the person with the most debts here." "Not to mention Frontignan." "I was feeling down when I met Boulon's girl." "I was alone." "Those things happen." "Don't piss me off with your morality." "When I left, you were full of beans, and now you're an empty shell." "4 weeks before the tournament" "Doumiac. 2 minutes stop." "They're here, Pompon's lamp chops are here." "Jo." "Eating outdoors when it's cold, great idea." "Look, dad, isn't it great?" "Great, you're an All Black, son." "Brilliant." "I'm very touched." "A toast to Jonah." "Look, there's Fanny." "She's up to it, the Irish lady." "Hello." "Hello." "Hello." "Your son invited my daughter, so I brought her here." " We'll take care of her." "Carry on." "Would you like a..." "No, no, I have to..." "I got to..." "I'll bring her back in the late afternoon." "OK." " Goodbye." " Goodbye." "What?" "We had a little game, and she wanted to play." "Rugby, yes." "Would you like...?" "No, no." "I..." "Little Fanny is pretty." "If I were you..." "They are pretty, dad. "They."" "Especially Fanny." "Go, Go." "Go back." "Spread out, spread out." "Nice catch." "That's good." "What are you doing?" "We'll play three friendly matches." "Rugby is simple:" "first, you need balls, second, you need balls, third..." "That's really helpful." "Good job guys: 40-0." "Luckily ridicule never killed anyone." "I expect a lot from the 2nd match." "Spread out." "That's good." "Pass the ball." "There." "50 to 6..." "What can I say?" "Let the All Black train them, and we'll see." "Go, Tom!" "That's rugby!" "The Kiwi is good." "Bravo, Tom." "If they do the Auckland..." "Go!" "Good job, Antoine." "Yes!" "That's great!" " Good job!" " Just like that." "Bravo, Chinese." "That's rugby." "Bye, dad." "I'll take you." "No, it's fine." "Are you going to school with a ball now?" "Of course!" "That's new." "See you, Jo." "Nice varnish." "Yeah, "nice"." "Work hard, Jo!" "Jo, the king of the paintbrush!" "Use these." "They're ready to use." "No need for a sponge." " They're practical." " Thanks." "You don't have any in Ireland?" "Going to make soup?" " A beef stew." " I love beef stew." " Really?" " Sometimes I make it, but..." "With what meat?" "The..." "A shoulder?" " I'll bet you it's a shoulder." " Yes." "You shouldn't." "The shoulder is tough." "It's not tender." "You should use shackles or chucks." "But seriously, you know how to make beef stew in Ireland?" "Yes." "We make it very well in Ireland, Mr. Canavaro." "And wet wipes too." ""And wet wipes too."" "Mr. Cahuzac, promising that children will skip a grade if they come and play in your rugby team..." " What were you thinking?" " Listen." "I..." "I wanted to understand." "And since you went to this school, I took the liberty of checking the archives." "3rd C, 1974." "1st term:" ""Appears to fall back."" "2nd term:" ""Completely left behind."" "3rd term:" ""Will never catch up."" "Yes." "Not to talk about the girls." "Are you aware that this has to be reported to the Board of Education?" "Colette..." "Do you mind if I call you "Colette"?" "No." "Come on!" "Ala ka mate." "Mate ka ora!" "Ala ka mate." "Puhuru huru..." "Wait for me!" "Wait for me!" "Go, Tom." "Good job, Tom." "The king of the ball!" "That's it!" "Let's go!" "Line-out for us." "Regarding Tom..." "I'd like to have the possibility to talk about his future." "But..." "How can I put it?" "From an ideological point of view..." "Doumiac Station." "Two minutes stop." " Hello, Pompon." " Hello, Titou." " You're leaving?" " Yes, I'm leaving." "Mind the closing doors." "The train is leaving." "While our children are together," "I thought we could prepare a beef stew." "Why did you come to Doumiac?" "Well..." "My grandfather was the founder of Bois de France." "He dreamed of making it profitable, but he died last year." "So I decided to fulfil his dream." "Then I'll go back to Ireland." "I have to talk to you." "I'll have to dig up your land." "Yes, I know." "But the land is not the most important thing I'm losing." " Can I come in?" " Of course." "Shall we train tomorrow?" "I can show you two or three secrets." "I'm practicing, with Jonah." ""Jonah..."" "You read Le Midi olympique?" "That's why your grades dropped." "Be careful, Tom." "It's not only about rugby." "You have to study as well." "OK?" "Study!" "Fifi's father didn't bring you home." " How did you get back?" " We hitchhiked." "At this time of day?" "With Fanny?" "Jonah was there." "He's strong as a bull." "I'll talk to the bull." "Come out of that hole." "I think." "Sorry, coming through." "I have important things to do." "Is your little show over?" "Your son is playing against Castelroc on Sunday." "I think I'm no longer needed." "Everybody's sure of winning." "Give me a peg." "So what will you do?" "Hang out the laundry?" "Think about things I've never thought about before." "You see the construction site?" "By the way, tell your friend that when I'm in the middle, it's to refocus." "The middle of the field, is for kick-offs." "Either you stick with your problems, or you choose between the past and the future." "If you choose the future, you make the kick-off." "That's what he was trying to tell you." "I'd choose the future." "And right now, the future is your son." "Whose panties are these?" "Hello." "Hello." "That's my mother." "I'm sorry." "Pompon, what's your real name?" "Jean-Paul." ""Jean-Paul" is nice." "Thanks, Mrs Hamilton." "I'm looking for Tom's mother's grave." "I can't find it." "Well..." "They didn't bury her." "They cremated her." "And the ashes..." "The ashes?" "I'd like to tell you, but you have to promise..." "Because, usually Pompon is as silent as a grave." "Jo scattered Camille's ashes over the land you bought." "Hello." "Be careful with the door, it's fragile." "The Canavaros." "Yes, of course." "Quentin, take the gentlemen to table 9." "Did you take care of everything?" " Isn't it lovely?" " Yes, it's lovely." "Look at the tiles." "Look at the work." "See that?" "Here's where..." "I told your mother for the first time... that..." "That what?" ""That what", you smartass." " Let's choose." " OK." "Please..." "Please..." " Sir?" " Oh, yes, OK." "Duck gizzard salad, as a starter." "Rib steak with Sarladaises potatoes..." " The rib steak is for two." " All the better." "I'll have the steamed vegetables with endive." "We're in a restaurant, not a hospital." "Sorry, we're out of endive." "Too bad." "What?" "Is there a problem?" ""There is a present under the table."" " There's something under the table." " Maybe the endives." "What's that?" "May I?" "Go ahead!" "I chose it myself." "It can do everything." "Calculator, pictures..." "You can even make calls." "Thanks, dad." " Can I ask you a question?" " What?" "Why don't we have photos of mom in the house?" "I've seen her everywhere for the last 13 years." "No need for photos." "I miss her, you know." "She was beautiful." "It's not because she was pretty." "She was the only one." "You know what we've not played for long... cat slap!" "That's not fair!" "Not true!" "I'm in the safe zone." " Really?" " Is that so?" "There." "Come on, catch me." "Go on, run, my friend." "He's still got legs, your dad, eh?" "Why did you make me come here?" "To give you what belongs to you." "Why?" "What do you think?" "The day before the game" "Chestnut Festival" "Jo, why are you on bad terms with Boulon?" "10 years ago," "I said he ran away from a fight." "Do you remember when we played in Toulon?" " Yes." "He never admitted it." "He denies having run away." "And he slammed the club-house door!" "That's why you don't speak?" "Yes." "You met someone more stupid than yourself." "More stupid than yourself." "I remember he just left Toulon, the bastard." "Right." "To Doumiac!" "Look at them." "To whose victory are we drinking?" "Castelroc!" "Look at those softies." "My Colette!" "Excuse me." "Colette, the principal?" "That's amazing, Jo." "Are you keeping secrets?" "The other day, I hung up the laundry, and found a pair of panties." "They're not mine, not Tom's, and not the Chinese's." "I swear, they're not mine." "Miss Quentin!" ""Hello, Miss Quentin."" ""Thanks, Miss Quentin."" "At some point," "Miss Quentin forgot her panties in the laundry bin." " At some point..." " You scoundrel." "Every time he drinks, he loses it." "New Zealand should never go to war." "Give them a dancing lesson." "Why me?" " Are you afraid?" " No." "Ask the boys." "You'll feel stronger." "Guys!" "Come with me." "Jo, get out of the way!" "We'd like to dance as well." "Are your hormones out of control?" "Don't play the smartass." "Is that a tie for a cowboy or a fag?" " Did you come by horse?" " Me, a "fag"?" "You're an asshole, Albert." "I hope Doumiac will win." "Excuse me, Jo." "What do you want, you clown?" " Did you call Jo a "fag"?" " Yes." "Listen to me." "If you do that again, you'll get a Boulon beating." "Forget it, Boulon." "We can handle this alone." "Tonight, Boulon will not run away." "He never ran away." "Leave it, Boulon." "Bloody hell!" "That's a tackle." "Why did you wake him up?" "Now, we have to do it." "He's been sitting there for 2 hours." "He's upset." "Did you fight again?" "It wasn't my fault this time." " Dad..." " Yeah?" "I'm not playing this afternoon." "I had a nightmare." "I messed it up, I failed." "I'm not going to play like you want me to." "Tom..." "You know..." "One day I got a phone call from the trainer of the national team." "I wasn't even 20 years old." "England-France." "A big game." "1st selection." "All the Canavaros were there." "Only... before the match, I couldn't sleep." "Not one second." "A real nightmare." "I was dead beat in the morning." "I was scared of looking ridiculous..." "Yes, your father was scared." "I claimed to be injured, saying that I'd be better next time." "Only... there wasn't a next time." "Whatever happens..." "I spent 2 amazing months with you." "And I love you, son." "Rico... you're the boss." "You're leading them." "We're counting on you." "Alright?" "We came here for Tom." "Since he's not here, we're sad." "We'll do everything to win." "Thanks." "Shut up, the referee is always right" "Yeah!" "Good." " 3 points." " That's good, Tom!" "Doumiac!" "Doumiac!" " That's good." " That's good." " Very good." " Good job, my man!" "In position." " Quickly, quickly." " In position." " Go, go." " Pompon, you're annoying." "Where's the faith?" "Impossible!" "DOUMIAC: 9 GUESTS: 0" "Look at them." "Who's laughing now?" "Let's get back in the game, boys." "DOUMIAC: 9 GUESTS: 5" "Go, Go." " Offside." " Wait." "Hey!" "No!" "Who's that guindoule?" "What's that?" " Guindoule!" " "Goundoule"!" "No. "Guine." "Guindoule."" "Shit!" "DOUMIAC: 9 GUESTS: 8" "Offside blue." "Half-time." "DOUMIAC: 9 GUESTS: 20" "Castel!" "Castelroc!" "Castel!" "Castelroc!" "That's how I like it." "Say something, for God's sake." "Get stronger!" "We're losing but we're playing well." "Why?" "Because we love each other." "You were great!" "Fight until the end." "Have fun!" "We have another half-time, I want some Doumiac!" " Go, Doumiac!" " Doumiac!" "Doumiac!" "Doumiac!" "Go and score!" "Go!" " Go." " Advantage." "Oh, damn." "Go!" "The opening." "Go!" "Pass." "Good." "Yeah!" "There, that's it." "That's good." "Doumiac!" "Doumiac!" "Doumiac!" "Doumiac!" "DOUMIAC: 16 GUESTS: 20" "Doumiac!" "Doumiac!" "You're going on." "Thanks, coach." " I'll destroy everything." " Not the stadium." "It takes him two days to reach the middle." "Go, Bouboule!" "Come on, Bouboule." "That's good." "Go, Bouboule!" "Push through, Bouboule!" "Yeah!" "Bouboule!" "Bouboule!" "Calm down." "Great, it's a perfect match, eh?" "That's good." " Good job." " Do it again." "This one is for you." "DOUMIAC: 23 GUESTS: 20" "Courage comes with daring, Tom." "Are you scared?" "You're scared." "Are you scared?" "Good job, guys!" "Thanks, Titi." "I've had enough." "It's over." "I left you the numbers of Jonah's entire family... and the others." "If you have a problem, just call me." "Well, at some point, you've got to go." " So, the ticket..." " In your inside pocket." "Oh yes." "The ticket is in the inside pocket." "When Pompon leaves, he leaves." " You're only going for a week." " Yes, but..." "A week is a week." " Well then..." " Take care of yourself." " I have to go." " Pompon, over there." "Ah, over there?" "I didn't see it." "Pompon is leaving." "Goodbye." "Everything will be fine." "Get in." "When the train leaves, it leaves, I'm telling you." "So long, my friends." " Have a good trip." " Have a good trip, Pompon." "Bye, Jonah and Pompon!" "Bye, Chinese." "OK, Jonah, we're going." "We have reserved seats." " Let's go eat." " Yeah, something good." "You bet." " I'm paying." " No, no." " Here, women don't pay." " Yes, I insist." "Well, OK then." "Right, but a huge feast." "Let's have a little sandwich." "A sandwich." "A sandwich." " Give me your phone." " What for?" " You'll see." " What are you up to?" "Wait, look." "Listen." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Hello!" "Who is it?" "My ass!" "28-27, my son!" "That's not fair!" "You wanted a cell phone, you got one." " You're so cool." " Obviously." " What's wrong?" " I've a feeling..." "Oh my God!" "I can't." "Did it clap?" "Action?" "Tell me what is..." "Where's he going?" "Wait." "Jo, there's a lot of them." "Let's go." "You go first." "Wait." "We were about to go." "We'll improvise." "Let's eat." "Shut up." "Ready?" "Impossible." " No, because of the sirens." " That's right." "Pompon..." "Close the door, guys." "Mr. Porcu?" "Very well." "Next is Mr. Lacouille." "Is that correct?" "It must be hard to be a cop." "I don't take them anymore." ""I don't take..."" " Gégé, from the beginning." " OK." "I don't have them." "When I go out, I'm stuck." "So that's why I don't take them." "Like that..." "Subtitles:" "Eclair Media"
