"...but balls to that." "We look all right and it's Carnival today." "Time off, lads!" "Namby-pambies, stand aside." "Time off, lads!" "This is for real men." "Time off, lads!" "Namby-pambies stand aside." "Time off, lads!" "This is for real men." "The smoke from our factory chimneys rots our lungs away but balls to that!" "We look all right and it's Carnival today!" "Keep your lousy job." " In Marseilles..." " Lousy job?" " Dalil earns 5,700 a month!" " Go to Marseilles!" "Why can't you pay me like you pay Nasser?" "Nasser's a breadwinner." "Arselicker, more like!" "Show respect for your father!" "Do that once more, I'll clobber you!" "Stop it!" "Go on, shield him!" "You'd hit our dad?" "He's no father, he's a slave driver!" " And you're a moron!" " Moron, me?" "He screws you." "Screws me?" "Nasser!" "Stop it!" "Excuse me!" "Excuse me please!" "Trains to Marseilles?" "We're closed." "Tomorrow!" "...all the way from Iceland." "You'll get a taste of his kipper if it's nice and tender..." "Can we have some soup?" "Ask us in for some onion soup!" "Don't flake out on me!" "Come in for a beer, at least." "We need some sleep." "Bunch of wallies!" "Want a hand getting him upstairs, Bea?" "No need." "I can hold my beer." "I was set for an all-nighter." "8 a.m., back on the beer." "Champion!" " Help me, I'm knackered." " No problem." "Hubby holds his beer." "That Gigi, man!" "What a letdown." "Why'd he flake out so early?" "I can manage." "Watch." "Helter-skelter!" "Mornin'." "Evenin'." "I came in from the rain." "G'bye." "Hard going, honeybun?" "Sorry." "My bottom half's kaput." "Make an effort." "Call the caretaker." "At this time?" "Sorry to bother you." "Could you give her a hand?" "Let him be." "Why not?" "Exercise'll do him good." " Which floor?" " Third!" "No obligation." "Don't be so snooty." "He's a wee lad to lift a big Auntie like me." "A great big Auntie, aren't I?" "Good fella." "You'll have to drag me." "That's it." "Can you manage?" "Attaboy!" "Champion!" "A man in a million!" "Think of the neighbours!" "So what?" "It's Carnival!" " For three days now..." " Quiet!" "In your fancy dress and make-up... you've been drinking!" "Now here you are..." "That's enough!" "Setting sail for Iceland to kill the halibut!" "Leaving behind your wife..." "Can you take him through?" "Ssh!" "Baby's asleep." "Mum?" "Where's she gone?" "My darling baby." "You're in here?" "I couldn't keep awake." "Did she behave?" "Yes." "We played at Carnival." "Put me down, laddie." "Thanks." " Gimme a hug." " It's okay." " Give him a beer!" " Go to bed." " I'll run you home." " Not now." "Can't face it." "Help." "Can't reach the bra." "It comes off last." "Come on." "Get up." "Arms in the air." "My own little body." "Get undressed with me." "Stop it." "Move over." "You're no fun." " Give him a beer." " Go to sleep." "I'll be going." "Stay for a drink." "No obligation." "We're not peasants." "Come on." "Come in." "Shut the door." "Do you want a blanket on the floor?" "What for?" " I owe you a favour." " I have a place to sleep." "I was waiting for someone." "I came in from the rain." "That's not true." "I'm waiting to catch a train." "Where to?" "Sunny Marseilles." "Didn't you check the times?" "I walked out." "I don't take shit." "Yeah?" "Don't get me wrong." "It's just..." "Families get to be a pain." "You have to leave or you stay and rot." "You like it here?" "It's home." "I grew up here." "Me too." "Aren't you sick of it?" "Even in winter?" "Course not!" "There's Carnival." "Carnival." "What's in Marseilles except sun?" "A job in a Mercedes garage." "The call of the open road?" "You want to leave too?" "I didn't say that." "Why would I leave?" "I thought, when I talked about the sun, you looked..." "It doesn't always rain here." "Almost." "How about that blanket?" "You'll sleep on the train." "Thanks again." "Thanks for the coke." "Have a good trip." "See you in Marseilles, maybe." "Take this, for the rain and in case you get sunstroke." "Unlikely." "Oh yeah?" "Yes?" "Remember me from last night?" "What do you want?" "Is Bea in?" "She's at the supermarket." "Who is it?" "Hi." "What do you want?" "I came to see Beatrice." "She's out." "She lost her hat last night." "I brought it back." " I'll give it to her." " I'll come back." "Give me that!" "Hi." "Why are you here?" "Just walking around." "You're not in Marseilles?" "Changed my mind." "You went back home?" "Not exactly." "You're carnivalling?" "I wouldn't go that far." "I got on the train..." "I must go." "Can I come?" "We could grab a coffee." "No thanks." " Why?" " No time." "That's no reason." "Look." "Yesterday was Carnival." "People do things that don't count." "Okay?" "Do you often do those things?" "It was a Carnival kiss!" "Was it your first?" "Still here?" "I'm shopping." "Like hell you are!" "Not in this section." "Arabs go for goods that sell." "You don't mean that." "Wait till they catch you." "Those goons?" "You know who." "My husband used to work here." "What are you doing?" "I'm a thief." "I piss on those goons." "Stop it." "Give me 300 for this lot and I'll throw in a bottle of whisky." " I apologise." " What for?" " Saying you're a thief." " But I am one!" "Don't." "They know me here." "You want something more?" "A telly?" "Let's get one." "Okay." "But only for your sake." "Shoplifting runs in my blood, you know that." "See that lady with her handbag?" "Same problem." "I'm holding myself back!" "Have a telly on me." "I don't want one." "A tiny one." "Not even a tiny one!" "Let's have coffee." " I can't now." " Later, then." "We're carnivalling." " Aren't you sick of that?" " Why should I be?" "It's for slobs dressed up as girls." "You're not like them." "What's so funny about prancing around half naked..." " in February?" " Don't knock what you don't know." "Come away with me." "Now." " Where to?" " Marseilles." "You're crazy." " Making soup?" " To build up our strength!" "Heave-ho!" "Heave-ho!" "If you hear us fart, either we must be heaving right, or we had too many beans last night!" "See?" "Who needs Marseilles?" "I'd take you to the Nice carnival." "Nice is for wallies." "Do I look like a wally?" "Still here?" "Saves coming back later." "Saves moving your bum." "That Arab came back." "Yeah?" "What did he want?" " To return your hat." " Really?" " You saw him?" " Who?" " Don't start." " Don't you start!" "Who buys the food while you laze around?" "I don't mean that!" "I do." "Okay, sweetie?" "Eat up." "What's up?" "Nothing." "Stop banging around." "Stop flirting around!" "I don't, so fuck off!" "Who's your pal Mustapha?" "The smallest excuse, you fly off the handle!" "You have to wreck my only free weekend for months!" "Me?" "Wreck your day?" "You need help!" "I'm not stupid." "I know what you're up to." "You must be bloody mad!" "Stupid, am I?" "Go on, say it!" "You look forward to Carnival for months and then you spoil all the fun!" "All right!" "That does it!" "Lay off my head!" "It's not funny." "I think it is." "Get togged up." "I'll do your eyes." "Go on!" "I will." "If I want to." "You want to." "Go on." "Who says?" "Get togged up." "Go on!" "With Neche's wife we had good fun." "We sucked her titties and drank all her milk." "You don't mind babysitting?" "I could ask Christelle or someone." "You go carnivalling, love." "It's what mums are for." "Let me do the dishes." "Save your hands." "Hi." "Is this a bad time?" "You're alone?" "Why are you here?" "I got you a present." "You're crazy." "Crazy about you!" " Open it." " I don't want it." "Why not?" "Because!" "It's nothing to be scared of." "Look!" "What is it?" "Open it." " You!" " He's going." "You wait!" "Hope the ring fits!" "So?" "Let's hear it." "It's that funny, is it?" "Will you still be laughing in jail?" "Don't exaggerate." "You think he paid for it?" "They're all thieves." "You'd be an accomplice." "Let me hide it." "I threw it away." "Where?" "In the street." "A gold ring!" "I didn't even see it." "So?" "You've seen rings before." "No thanks to you." "What did you say?" "I said push off." " Before that." " Let me by." " Before that!" " I said..." "No thanks to you." "This is silly." "Let's go home." "You want a ring?" "Who says I can't buy a ring for my wife?" "Can't it wait?" "No." "You're off today, Chris." "Carnival, remember?" "Save it." " Is Verhoven around?" " He's handling a load." "Just my bloody luck." "Have a nice day, anyway!" "Hi, Bea." " You still have makeup on." " And these!" "Come on!" "See you later." "Belt up." "Mr. Verhoven!" "Yes, Vasseur?" "Hold it!" "So your husband wants to buy you a present?" "Yes." "Aren't you happy?" "Yes." "How much is it?" "Any chance of 1,500?" " What?" " 1,500 in cash?" "Right now?" "I'm short of time." "If I've got it." "The taxman got here first!" "Thanks." "Thanks very much." "You really helped me out." "By the way..." "Can you work this afternoon?" "Vancouter's sick." "I'm off today." "I put in before Christmas." "Still, I'd be grateful." "Vancouter's not sick." "He fakes it every year." "He's got a sick note." "It's a fake." "You know it." "He's got a sick note." "What can I say?" "I can't work today." "I'm sorry." "Buy the present and come back." "Thanks, it can wait." "My husband's off today." "Whatever you say, I need a watchman." "Take a day next week." "Next week's no good." "Who's in charge?" "I know people who'd kill for your job." "Don't come crying to me." " You can't!" " I can." "Can we talk?" "Wait!" "Don't look or he'll never go away." "Phone Christian." "What are you doing?" "What's up with you two?" "You're not even togged up!" "What's up, Chris?" "Can't take the pace?" "Mr. All-Nighter!" "He's at work." "His boss collared him." "During Carnival?" "Criminal!" "Hey, lads!" "How about a beer?" "A quick one, then." "What's a beer?" "The docker's cheer!" "The docker's cheer!" "Oh, I do like to take the air down by the casino, ca-ca-sino!" "Taking my dog to do his poo..." "More beer?" "We'll miss the start." "We're tanked up now." "One last one." "With crisps, then." "Bit of ballast." "Yeah, crisps are good for that." "Look at that bum!" "I'm staying here for some of that." " He threw the ring away?" " Honest!" "Any beer left?" "Help yourself." "Any crisps?" "You'll be lucky." "You could've got some." "Give them caviar instead!" "The ring!" "Did you look for it?" "No time." "But guess what?" "He's waiting outside." "What, now?" "I'm pretty sure." "Is he?" "Tall, dark, slim?" "Isn't he cute?" "I want rings too!" "Gimme some rings!" " You're mad!" " What now?" "I don't know." "He's amorous." "Get in there!" "Christian'll freak." "He's at work and it's Carnival!" "Gigi got some last night, no questions asked." "I'm not like that." "What, then?" "I don't know." "Listen." "Stay in, get your mum out." "He'll be up here like greased lightning." "And Emilie?" "She'll be having her nap." "Naughty!" "Look who's talking!" "Hey, girls!" "What's the rush?" "You're smearing me." " Goodbye." " You're going?" " Go out, have fun." "I'll stay." " No, you go." "I don't fancy going out without Christian." "Carnival's not for husbands!" "And that boy won't pester you if you go with them." "If you stay, he'll come up." " Emilie?" " She's fine with me." " Aren't you, pet?" " Yes!" "We'll make pancakes." "I'd rather stay." "You want trouble?" "The biggest ones you ever saw." "We're going to be late." "About bloody time!" "Bea, can we talk?" "Don't look now." "There's an Arab behind you." "Please." "What?" "Sorry about the hassle with your husband." "I just wanted to make you happy." "Without hassle?" "Forget it." "Wait." "I get the impression she said goodbye." "Don't touch me." "Come on, lads." "It's the Lord of the Rings!" "You joined the Carnival?" "Yeah." "Brilliant wig!" "Somebody'll be glad to see you." "Come on!" "Help me!" "Look who I found!" "Hi, Auntie." "Carnivalling?" "What do you think?" "Not bad, is he?" "You again?" "The tune's no use without the words!" "He's making fun of our songs." "Look who's here, making fun of our songs!" "You're a comedian?" "Let's hear you make fun." "Let's hear it!" "I don't know the words." "He's a fuckin' comedian!" "You're so funny you should be on telly!" "Want some?" "Yes or no?" "I think you do." "Here, wash it down." "Learn the words next time." "Down the hatch!" "Put hair on your chest." "All for one and one for all, sing the songs of Carnival!" "The music Daddy plays, oh yeah!" "The music Daddy plays makes Mummy feel good." "...all thanks to Auntie." "The leaf on the twig... on the branch of my Auntie's tree." "All thanks to my Auntie." "On the cap was a badge... the badge of the cap of the fluff of the bird on the leaf of the twig..." "Under the cap was a soldier boy..." "Soup's up!" "But first, an announcement!" "I love you all!" "All thanks to my Auntie!" " Can I come?" " No sweat, pal." "Let's tog you up." "Give us a kiss." "Wait there." "Okay, come on." "Pout your lips." "Not like that!" " What's up?" " I'm going." "Where to?" "Catch up with the others." "What about me?" "Don't go getting ideas." "Gigi got some last night, no questions asked." "Don't say that." "Wait a second!" "You're not like Gigi." "There's a train at 10 tomorrow." "Come with me." "Okay?" "I'll get a flat and a job." "Make a new start." "Don't be crazy." "Jean Bart's statue's got a hard-on 'cause he can't get down to piss!" "Can we look in on Christian?" "Let's!" "He must be bored all alone." "What's the song we sing when we come marching in?" "Christian!" "You're spooking the dog!" "Stop working him up!" "Now you've freaked him out." "Come on, Titus!" "Shut up!" "You'd rather be alone with Titus?" "If he's hurt, I get the stick." "You tell them." "Take this and cheer up!" "Come on Titus, boy." "Free Titus!" "You okay?" "Not too bored?" "Aren't you with Doriane?" "We're meeting later." "Come to the dance, just quickly." "Leave Titus on duty!" " You're out of your skulls." " No one'll know." "Come on!" "It's no fun without you." "We'll catch up next week." "We want Christian!" "We want Christian!" "He can't come, okay?" "I'll have a few beers, though." "I'll go." "No!" "They're for him, not you." "You get on my nerves." "So do you." "Cause you're ugly." " You're an eyesore." " Leave it out." "Would he do that for me?" "Fetch me beer?" "No way!" "You're lucky with Bea." "He's ever so lucky with Bea." "She's a grand lass." " What's funny?" " Nothing." " Nothing?" " Nothing." " Am I lucky?" " Yeah." "Something wrong?" "No." "Header, Bea!" "No way!" "Brazilian style!" "You're sure?" "But you should come!" "Bea gets bored without you." "She shouldn't be left alone." "Not even for five minutes." "Look who's here!" "Bea with the beer." " Has he been at you?" " Who?" "Mustapha." "You sure?" " Sure?" " Are you okay?" "Keep the beer." "I'm coming." "Stay." "Stay!" " What about Verhoven?" " He'll survive." "Fuck him, anyway." "Why don't I stay here?" "What?" "And miss the Carnival?" "Because I'm in your way?" "Is that it?" "Don't start." "Don't you start." "Boner!" "Gimme your lipstick!" "Good thinking!" "There!" "I'm a new man!" "At Carnival time in Dunkirk town" "Every good lad lets his hair down!" "We all put on wigs and false jugs and make up our ugly mugs!" "Put on the old fancy dress, fellas and get out the tall umbrellas!" "We'll carnival the night away." "Work can wait till another day." "What's up, fella?" "Feeling down, Casanova?" "I'm tired." "Looking for Bea?" "Know where she is?" "Maybe." "You're meeting her?" "Everyone meets at Carnival." "Yeah, right." "Don't go!" "Have a drink." "I'm broke." "It's on me." " I'm not in the mood." " Don't be selfish." "Come, let me whisper in your ear something you'll be glad to hear!" "Come on, make me happy." "Joel!" "Two pastis!" "Sit down." "Cheers." "Kiss me." "Drink, kiss." "Doriane's rule." "Right, Joel?" "I don't fancy you." "It costs you nothing and makes me happy." "I don't want to." "That's no excuse!" "Everyone else does." "Drink, Joel?" "Any time." "One from the heart." "See?" "He's still alive." "One quick drink before the dance?" "Only one?" "You want us dead?" "Doriane's found a mate!" "Hi folks!" "We're back in business!" "You made it!" "We know that face from somewhere, don't we?" "You here?" "Don't be scared." "It's Carnival, right?" "I'm with her." "Yes." "We've been partying together." "Great." "Let's all boogie-woogie!" " We're no peasants." " We just act rough." "Seen his togs?" "Quite the little lady!" "Stole it off your mum?" "I don't steal." "We didn't say that." "Joel!" "Two rums please." "Help me get tanked up." "Then we'll boogie." "Cheers." "Happy days." "Drink with him." "Pick up your glass, go on." "Down the hatch!" "This is stupid." "He wants it." "For the dance." "Joel!" "Two more." "Cheers." "All gone!" "Same again." " Good!" " A noble joust!" "Third round." "Good sport!" " What's your sport?" "Beer?" " Just beer." "New glasses!" "This is power play." "Top level." "Joel!" "Keep them coming." "Come on." "Don't lie there, it's common." "You must puke." "I never puke." "A man must know how to puke." "If you puke on yourself, you're a slob or a crud." "Keep it clean." "Stand up." "Not too upright, or you'll puke on yourself." "It'll go all over you." "Lean forward, that's it." "Over the bowl." "Spare a thought for the next guy." "Aim straight." "Don't use your finger, it's common." "Burp." "Go on, burp." "Good!" "Excellent!" "You've been practising!" "You dance the walla-wa and you dance the oo-choo-choo, the walla-wa, the oo-choo-choo..." "When I went to the Carnival hall" "I thought I was at the wrong ball." "The guys and girls were twitching, it seemed like they were itching." "So you wave your hands all over the place and stamp your feet till you're red in the face!" "You dance the oo-choo-choo and you dance the walla-wa..." "Joel!" "More beer!" "Hi, gorgeous." "All alone?" "Something wrong?" "I'm tired." "That's Carnival." "You're all up, and then it hits you." "Yeah." "Don't worry." "It happens to all of us." "I love you anyway." "You're thinking I'm drunk." "So what?" "Does it matter?" "If I say I love you when I'm drunk, does it mean less?" "Maybe it means more." "It's from the heart." "Stop it." "My Queen Bea." "I love you more than anything." "Come on." "Going beddy-bye?" "What do you mean?" "Bars are for grownups." "Aren't we going dancing?" "Maybe not." "What if you flake out?" "You carry me home." "Champion!" "For a change." "The return match!" "The skirt makes the man." "Want a drink?" "No, but I'll take you to the dance." "Won't we, lads?" "Agreed?" "She agrees." "And we're off!" "Joel!" "Wirecutters!" "Be careful with my wife!" "Don't stay out too late..." "Why not?" "Come home in a state..." "This is great!" "Suckers, show yourselves!" " Look out!" " Come down!" "He'll fall off." " Do something!" " I'll hold him." "Brilliant!" "This is the way to travel!" "Slow down!" " Can't you slow down?" " I am!" "Idiots!" "They'll fall off." "You okay?" "Cheers!" "Happy days!" "Come on!" "Have a drink." "I'm not thirsty." "The anthem!" "Come on!" "We salute... your memory." "Up there with good old Jean Bart you sit in glory." "For so many years you've guided us, so many masks" "we've loved." "And now, here we stand in tears." "Vasseur!" "How come you're here?" "I got a substitute." "Who?" "You're in the uniform." "I pay you to guard the yard, not go dancing!" "Cool down, Mr. Verhoven." "I'll explain." "The fact is, you see..." "Don't play with me." "I'm not, Mr. Verhoven." "Titus is on guard." "I just wanted to join in the Carnival." "I don't care!" "I can't trust you to do your job." "Sign off tomorrow." "Bastard!" "What?" "I'm being lenient." "I know you lot." "You're in bad company!" "Don't, Christian!" "I'll fix you!" " Don't make it worse!" " I will!" "You just stand there and support him?" "I know who you all are!" "I'll have you all blacklisted!" "Come and get it, bastard!" "You support him!" "Get up!" "I'm in the business!" "Let go!" "I'm in security too!" "Bastards!" "Fine bloody Carnival!" " Take it easy." " You defend him?" "Let me buy you a drink." "Come to the bar." "Have a drink." "Come on!" "What'll you have?" "Champagne." "Let go of me!" "Come back out!" "The three of you!" "Come on out!" "Fuckers!" "I know you, the blond guy!" "Next time I'll kill you!" "It's over." "Come home." "I'll drive, okay?" "Apologise tomorrow." "Say it was Carnival." "Yeah..." ""Sorry I broke your nose."" ""No problem, Vasseur." "It was Carnival."" "And I go on taking his shit all year, except at Carnival." "I'm driving." "Give me the keys." "Isn't Carnival a gas?" "Give me the keys." "I need to sign off." " You don't." " Fuck off!" "Come back here!" "You make me bloody sick!" "You'll screw everything up." "Bastard!" "Bad news?" "Not too good." "What's up?" "Christian's gone to the yard." "Let's go." "Maybe we can stop him." "What are you doing?" "Borrowing it." "Nobody's hurt." "Get in." "You brought Mustapha?" "What are you doing?" "Signing off from his fucking job!" "Drop that!" " Fuck off!" " Don't be stupid!" "Get off me!" "They'll know it's you!" "Fuck off!" "Sit, Titus!" "Go!" "Verhoven's pet!" "Get back!" "Fucking dog!" "You're on Verhoven's side." "Sit, fucking animal!" "I can bark too!" "Louder than you!" " Take this." " Drop it!" "Let him go!" "Let him go!" "Here!" "What was that for?" "Did the dog hurt you?" "Hey, you!" "Wake up!" "What do you want?" "This is all your fault!" "He'll beat you up." "Don't tempt him." "Come home." "You okay?" "Will he go to prison?" "No." "Burning a dog is just shitty." "What'll you do?" "I can't desert him." "Then I'll stay." "What for?" "To be here for you." "What about Marseilles, the Mercedes job?" "Forget it." "You matter more." "I'd rather cope alone." " What shall we do today?" " Don't know." "Dress you up for Wednesday?" "What as?" "A butterfly." "That's a nice idea." "You carnivalled all night?" "Yes, sweetie." "Guess what the boys were dressed as." "Strawberries." "The girls were banana trees." " Was Alizée a banana tree?" " Yes." "Was she pretty?" "Was Colette happy, then?" "What happened?" "It's okay." "Go home." "You could tell me." "It's okay." "Go home." "I won't be long." "Marseilles Saint-Charles..." "This train terminates here." "Subtitles by N. Palmer" "Subtitling CEDRA PRODUCTIONS"
