"This is Kryptonite 1." "Come in Trap 0, come in Trap 0." "This is Trap 0, this is Trap 0." "I read you five by five." "Over." "Calling the base." "This is the base, this is the base." "I read you." "Prepare for launch." "Disengaging ramp at section 3-20." "I repeat:" " At section 3-20." " This is Trap 0, come in Yoyo." "This is Yoyo, this is Yoyo." "Rotor 1, activated." "Rotor 2, activated."

"Abandon the radioactive cave through the entrance." "You're required at the kitchen base." "We're eating in an hour." "Do you copy?" "Copy that, mom." "Hurry up, guys." "Well, it was fun while it lasted." "Aren't you coming Morgan?" "No!" "I need to go home!" "Okay." "Come on!" "Yeah, one sec." "Catch you later." "Pin pon pin!" "Wee-woo-wee-woo-wee!" " Throw it here." " UFO #1." "Caught." "UFO #2." "Caught." "UFO #3." "Caught again." "Coming up, one unidentified salad." " Watch this, it'll go straight in." " Oh yeah?" "Nice." "Go ahead, bring it." "Catch!" " Ready for the eggs?" " Yeah." " Watch out." " Okay." "Don't worry," "I'm an expert." "1-0." "Bring it." "Bravo." "Well done." "Heads up." "Oh no Frankie pass it here, to me." "Here we go." "Over here mom!" "What?" "You almost crashed." "But I didn't so I scored." "I'm hungry, got any food?" "Oh, pardon me." " Where are you Morgan?" " He had to go home." "Uh-huh." "What the heck?" "That's not funny." "Well then next time, you can do it yourself." "That works." " Pass the salt, please." " Huh?" " The salt." " Ah." "You idiot!" "My bad, my bad." " Frankie, what are you doing?" " It was them!" " Jerks!" " Liar!" "Pschhh!" "Ha, ha, ha." "We haven't been very good, have we?" "Yeah, well..." " Would you like some, Madam?" " Oh..." "No thanks." "No, it wouldn't be fair to you." "Oh, okay." "Don't you know how to play backgammon?" "I guess not." "The black goes there, and the white goes here." " Okay children, time to pack up." " Just a few more minutes." "Please mama." "Come on." "Time to find your parents." "And I think maybe it's time for you to take a bath, hmm?" "And now Tyrell passes by Martini!" "Hello Puce." "Good night." " So, you ready?" " Yeah, let's go." "Hey, wait up!" " Come on!" " Come on!" "Wait!" "You coming?" "Of course!" "Hop on." "Go!" "There's something for everyone." " Yeah, but I'm hungry." " Still, no need to push." " We even have eggs." " Sweet." " See?" "There is enough." " Shut up, egg face." " C'mon let's have a race." " Sure." "But not now." "Later." "Look Morgan, he's taped a radio to his skateboard!" "Hey Stéphane." "...so this summer won't be so hot..." "What's that thing saying?" "Today's weather will be cloudy and not too sunny in Paris." "Sounds great." " Do you have a spare sandwich for me?" " Let me check..." "Here." "Thanks." " See you around!" " See ya!" "I once saw this guy break his skateboard in half." "Wow, really?" "Yeah, he crashed straight into a ledge." "He was fine but the skateboard wasn't." "I bet when his parents saw it they were like: "Ah!"" "Woah!" "Woah!" "Woah!" "What're you doing?" "!" " I'm just a tourist." " That'll be 10 francs." " C'mon, pay up." " 10 francs." " Ayy!" "Pass it over." " Oh, right." "Could you also hold up your skateboards?" " That'll cost another 10." " Yeah, okay." "C'mon!" "They're beating us!" "Woah!" "Look!" "Someone's trying to steal that kid's skateboard!" "Trying to steal from that kid, huh?" "Dirty thief!" "I wasn't, I just wanted to borrow it." "Then you should've asked." "We're taking care of it." "And from a little kid too!" " You should be ashamed!" " Try picking on someone your own size!" "I'll break your neck!" "Woah, woah, woah..." "Wait a minute..." "Listen up you turds," "Touch me again and I'll call my friends." "Bring your friends then!" " My name's Philippe." "What's yours?" " Caroline." "Right, we've dealt" " with the skateboard thief." " And who are you?" "Oh, this is Morgan." "Nice to meet you Caroline." "Frankie." " And Steph." " Hi." " You thirsty?" " Yeah." "Well, I'll see you guys later." "See ya." " Hey Phil." " Hey Big Mac." " How're you?" " Fine." " What would you like?" " What you're having." " A coke with 2 straws." " With 2 straws." "Here you are." "Voilà." "Here." "Thanks." "How tasty." " You know what?" " What?" " Never mind." " What?" " No, it's nothing." " Tell me." " I think you're cute." " Huh?" " You're cute." " You too." " Who was that kid you were with?" " Oh, him." " He's just a friend." " Ah." " Do you see him often?" " No." " Do you live nearby?" " No, no." "2 Paul-Dérouléde, 5th floor, on the right." " Shall we meet again?" " Sure, when?" "Tomorrow, at 3 PM at the Troca." "Okay?" "Yes, uh... okay." "Hey Phil, maybe you could also call her on the telephone." " Using the PCV." " For long distance." "D'ring!" "No Steph, not tonight I'm feeling tired." "Yeah, I've still got your Salut les copains album." "Don't worry, I'll bring it back." "Huh?" "What?" "No her name's not Macee, it's Caroline." "We'll meet tomorrow, okay?" "Tomorrow at the Troca?" "Alright." "I'll bring it." "Bye." "Who's that?" "Hmm?" "Who is it?" "Caroline." "Hmm..." "She's pretty." "The drawing doesn't do her justice." "She's much more beautiful in person." "Ah, more beautiful in person?" "Well..." "Hey..." "Maybe I'll get jealous." "Ah knock it off, Mom." "Can I meet her?" "Maybe." "Philippe, change out of your before you go to bed." "Yeah, yeah." "Puce, come down for breakfast." "This can't be right." " What now?" " Levasseur is gaining so he might have a chance." "He'll need to gain 10 to 15 percent more votes to even stand a chance." "We must do what we can to raise our numbers." " Well tell me when you're done complaining." " Will do." "Ah, jeez!" "Have you no shame?" "We'll begin as scheduled at Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon..." "Huh?" " Don't you have classes today?" " We don't have school for" " the next two days." " Really?" " It's Easter Holidays." " Already?" "Telephone" "Leveille and tell him that we're leaving at 3 PM." " And what if I want to join you?" " I'll be at the Lasserre" " having lunch with Deray." " Catherine, come here please." "Don't forget Caroline has a dentist appointment after dictation classes." "Very good." "Ah wait, Georges!" "I don't mind dictation but not the dentist." "Caroline, this is non-negotiable." "When we finish with dictation, we are going to the dentist." "So tell me..." " Is that really necessary?" " What?" " That..." " Of course!" "And besides, Stéph says his dad does it too." "So his dad does it, huh?" "Stop talking so much." "It's distracting." "And I might cut myself!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Good morning!" "Good morning..." "Uh..." "Uh..." "I want to find my girlfriend." "Comprehendō?" "!" "It's urgent!" "Thanks." "Just a bit longer." "Are you looking for me?" " What are you doing here?" " We were going to meet remember?" "You're supposed to wait down there." "But the Métro is here, not there." " Hello, anyway." " Hey, Caroline." " Go ahead." " But I've never done so." "Then you should try it." " Not too fast okay?" " Don't worry." "Let's head over there." "C'mon." " Oh, hey." " Hey." "What're you doing here?" "How's it going?" "Yeah!" "That shouldn't be possible!" "Damn!" "Alright, next!" "Hey look, it's that twit in the yellow helmet!" "Hey, wait!" "Stop it!" "Charge!" "Shit!" "Look!" "Let's get outta here!" "Yeah!" " You alright?" " Yeah, I'm fine." " Oh, you're bleeding." " I'm fine." "Here." "Pin pon pin!" "Voilà." "You really were fantastique!" " What?" " Fantastique." " Oh, yeah?" " You sure you're okay?" "I'm fine." "It doesn't hurt still, does it?" "No no, it's fine." "That's good." "Should we say goodbye now?" "Bye." "What a wonderful day this has been." "Hiroshima darling..." "Come down." "Down my darling." "Down there." "Hiroshima darling, my love." "Thanks, my dear." "To Le Village Suisse." "I want to stay with you." " What are you doing here?" " I just am." "Here." "Mm..." "They smell nice." " They're yellow daises." " Ah." " So do you?" " What?" "Want to stay with me, forever?" " Forever?" " It'll be extraordinary." "Forever is a long time." "And besides, we're only kids." " But Caroline, can you wait that long?" " Maybe?" "Do I look like I'm 8?" "Because I'm not." " No?" " No." "As a matter of fact, I'm actually 10." "So I will certainly be able to look after you responsibly." "Absolutely!" "At least in principle?" "Ah, in principle." "Yes, of course." "Yes as in "yes", or yes as in "maybe"?" " Yes as in yes." " Oh, that's fine then." " So yes as in "yes"?" " Yes, yes." "But you know, my parents, they're very much like this." "That's okay." "My mom is very much like this too." " Make sense?" " Not really." "My mom is fantastique." "She is super awesome." "She's amazing like us." "Understand now?" "Sure." "But I have to go, and I don't want to argue." "Phil:" "In life, it is important to be patient and to hang on with force so that the force will always be with you." " "With force."" " Huh?" "Oh nothing." " Do you want me to talk to your parents?" " No, that's crazy!" "Caroline!" " You trust me, right?" " Yes." "Oh, thank goodness." "I think it's time for me to go." "And you too." "Take off your hand." "Come on." "Stop sulking, we'll see each other again at the Trocadero." "Right?" "Yeah." "Philippe..." "See ya." "Caroline." "Caroline!" "Drive!" "Well?" "What is it my big rabbit?" "I'm not a big rabbit." "This aggression." "Is it because of...?" "Yes." "So it didn't go as planned?" "It's not funny, mom." "This is a very serious matter." "I feel empty now." "Oh, stop being so dramatic." "You'll see her on Wednesday." "Is that not enough?" "No." "No?" "And deep inside, you feel empty?" "Yes." "It's simple." "It's simple?" "Yes." " So what should I do?" " Hmm..." "Let me think." "Okay, then I'll wait." " Hello?" " Wait..." "Right." "So no more are you a big rabbit." "Huh?" "And secondly: you feel a huge emptiness in your heart." "You already said that earlier, mom." "And thirdly..." "Thirdly:" "Uh..." "And finally..." "We'll arrange a sleepover, hmm?" "Oh, mom..." "You're the person I love the most in the entire world." "Tonight will be a bit unusual." "And since we have a few things to discuss, you're invited to my room for a sleepover." " Really?" " Yes." "Yes!" "I'll meet you there." "Mom?" " Mom!" " Coming!" "How nice of you to mess the bed." " Well, good night." " Oh no!" " I'll bite your foot!" " No!" " Well then." "Once upon a time..." " "Once upon a time..."?" "...in Paris, there lived a boy named Philip." "Must've been me." " Phil meets..." " Caroline." " Caroline, who is?" " 10 years old." "Who is the same age as Phil." " And lives at?" " 2 Paul-Dérouléde." "2 Paul-Dérouléde, 5th floor, on the right." "You're well informed." "Good job." "Caroline lives with her father and mother, and she likes my Phil." "And he likes her." "You like her very much, hmm?" "Okay, continue." "Right, let's be serious." " Phase 1..." " Phase 1?" "Count down to launch!" "4, 3... 4, 2... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0!" "Objective 1:" "Parents." "Have you met them?" "No." " You'll have to, won't you?" " To destroy!" "And to meet them, you must have a plan." "I do." " You do?" " Yup." "I'll explain." "I'll ask Caroline to come to the Troca." "Then I'll teach her to skate." " Then she'll fall." "Pin pon pin." " Oh no." "Well maybe not." "But she'll need help" " so I'll walk her home..." " And then you'll wait for them." "What a smart little cookie." " Nice plan, right?" " Sure." "Then once you're inside, you take her hand but they'll start to worry as you sit her on a chair and tend to her leg and make sure nothing is fractured." "And her cheeks will become flushed as you pat them." "But that would make for a terrible impression, hmm?" " Then should I tell them what happened?" " Oh no." "Definitely not." "At that point, you should take advantage of the situation." "You should wait until they show their gratitude..." "Keep the atmosphere serious." "If they offer you water, refuse." "I wouldn't be thirsty anyway because I'd be worried for her." "No, you'll refuse to show your concern." "Get the difference?" "Ah yes." "Politeness?" "Better than that." "Distant-ness." "You'll dominate the situation." "Get it?" "You'll be known as the hero." " I'll try with you." " Go ahead." " Mom?" "Mom?" "Hello?" " Yes." "Right." "Not bad, but not too serious." "Straight." "Like that." "Act like the father." "Could I get you some orange juice?" "You know I don't like orange juice." "Well he's not going to offer you scotch." "Anyway, continue." "Well it's time I went home." "My mom will be worried." "Good." "You'll make an excellent impression." " Could I get you some orange juice?" " No thanks." "It's time I went home." "I have to go." "My mom will be worried." "He's right." "We have plenty on our hands right now, just look." "Well anyway..." "Yes, what is it?" "You say you're in politics, but you don't know a thing about skateboards?" "Skateboarding?" "Ah..." " I know they're dangerous." " Oh no." "They're super safe." "Look." "What's important, is to keep your balance." "See?" "Nothing to it." "And how many of you are there?" "I don't know." "Oh... 100,000 maybe." "That many?" " Wow." " Interesting." "You see what I mean?" "Perfectly." "So it would be a good thing for you to think about opening one." "And the press will write about it." "L'Express, France-Soir, Le Figaro..." "I've read the articles." " And they were well received?" " Yep." "It's good for the state and it's a sport too." "So think about it, okay?" "Yes, I see." "I declare the opening of a premier skatepark in Paris." "One skatepark for the youth, For the youth..." "For the youth..." "A skatepark for the youth..." "For the youth." "Long live France, and long live the République." " Bravo, bravo." " Thank you, thank you very much, thank you." "Other than what we talked about, is that everything?" " Sure." " No other details?" " I told you everything." " Then, it's time for Phase 2." " Phase 2?" " I'll tell you soon, tomorrow." "Would you look at that." " Don't you want to row with him?" " Sure." "Go on then." "That's it." "There we go." " The oar." " Oh..." " Faster." " Hey, it's tiring." "If I'm not mistaken, I think the boat is spinning." "Is it?" "I think so." "Oh no, not Puce." "That mangy dog!" "You and Puce are at it again." " No." " Yes." " He found me right?" " Ya." "We should get going." "Puce." "Ah..." "That was fun." "She's great." " Who?" " The Pope." "Ah, Caroline?" "Obviously." "Hey cutie, would you like to go out for a drink at a cafe?" "What do you say?" "Who the heck do you think you are!" "Go away!" "Man, what a douchebag.... jerk." "Come on, let's go." " Don't be stingy." " Yeah-yeah, but it's heavy." " Voilà." "Now lower it." "Slowly." "Nice and easy." " Edge to edge." " Not too fast." " Steady, steady..." "Voilà." "And now we should sit on it." "And for how long do we sit here?" " 5 minutes." " 5 minutes?" "But I need to pee." "Hello?" "Yes, yes." "Phil's here." "I'll call him over." "Ah, this is personal?" "One moment Caroline." " What colour should we paint it?" " Blue." " Yellow." " Lemon blue." " Sounds great." " Phil, the telephone." "For you." "Can you sit here for me, until it dries?" " Oh no." " Just 2 minutes then." " Well, okay." "Go on." "Oh no, Phil." "How embarrassing." "Let me see." "It stuck to the glue." " Pin pon pin." " Isofix fix!" " Well hello." " Hello madame." ""Madame"..." "Where shall I sit?" " Here." " There's room there." "Or there." "I'm with Stéphane, Morgan and Frankie." "It's better that you're there." "I said it's better that you're there." "What do your parents think of me?" "And what're you doing tomorrow afternoon?" "Yeah." "Because I'm throwing a party, and if you'd like...." "No but I can arrange it with my mom." "And the guy in the car...." "Get it so far?" "Yes, yes." " He said the Belgian..." " The guy in the car?" " No, the guy in the tree." " Not the Belgian?" "He said: "You've never broken a basketball hoop at 200 miles an hour?"" " He said that?" " Let her finish." "That's the story." "Ah, well it should be dry now." "You should try to humour them." "Say thank you." "Thanks mom." "Thank you!" " Who did you speak to on the telephone?" " Caroline." " Ah." " And tomorrow, I'm throwing a party!" " Oh, super!" " So bring your girlfriends." "If you ever get tired of talking about Caroline," " you can talk to my horse." " Bye." " Bye." " Ciao." "Later." "Mom, where are you?" "Here." "Come on down." "Quickly." " Closed the door?" " Yeah." " Who's that?" " Guess." "Is that me?" " No, it's Mickey Mouse." " I'm choking with laughter." "Cut me some slack, will ya?" "Since you're here, make yourself useful." "Now it goes into that solution." "Move it around with your fingers." "Are you doing anything tomorrow afternoon?" "Don't know." "I might go shopping, why?" "Just asking." "You can wash it now." " Did you enjoy talking to Caroline?" " Yeah." " Did she say anything special?" " A lot." "Ah, good." "Here, take the film." "But dry your hands first." "Don't touch the gelatin." "So we're at phase 3 now, right?" "Very soon." "Caroline's coming over to my party tomorrow." " Oh really?" " Really." " Oh..." "So that's why." " "That's why" what?" "You were wondering what I was doing tomorrow." "Yeah you're right." "We'll need to arrange it with her parents." "And by we, you mean I arrange it." " Huh?" " Yeah." " And I'm invited too, right?" " But of course you are, mom." "Hey, I was eating that." "You know Phil, I was just thinking, before we address phase 3, we need to think about phases 9 and 10." "9 and 10?" "You need to think about more than just what's in front of you." "I can see you two are very fond of each other at the moment but..." "I am very fond of her, and this is a delicate situation." "But let's just say everything's fine for now." "But for how long?" "It's my life and I will like her for the entirety of it." "Well okay." "But strictly speaking," " you're not exactly a man yet." " Oh yeah?" "Then how is possible that I can find my way to the Troca and back all by myself?" "That has nothing to do with it." "And school?" "I've only got 5 more years left of it." "I can meet her during that time and see what happens." " Couldn't I?" " That's not what I mean." " I'm not talking about it in that sense." " Then in what sense?" "When a man and woman falls in love..." "I know what happens." "You know that they will "make love"?" "I will have plenty of time to "make love"." "Very well." "Until then, you can play with her in the way a child would normally show his affection." "That's not enough." "You reassure me." "That's all I wanted to know." "Hey, mom." "You're not angry at me, are you?" "Of course not." "Do you mind?" "2 seconds." "You're not funny when you have your adult mood swings." "Do I need to repeat what I said before?" "Adults." "Adults and their mood swings." "What?" "Nothing, nothing." "Yes-yes?" "At what age did Romeo and Juliet do it?" "They were pretty young, huh?" "But it was a different time!" "Must've been a great time." "What a shitty time we live in." "Do not say "shit", young man!" "Come on, it's time for bed." "You know, it ended very badly for Romeo and Juliet." "And maybe that's because they had stupid parents." " At least I don't have a stupid mom!" " That's right, sweetie." "There we go." "Can you tell that I'm very mature for my age?" "So you're a man." "But so what?" "You still don't take any responsibilities." "I have plenty enough responsibility taking care of you." "I protect you." "Remember that guy hitting on you?" " Don't you remember?" " Of course I do." "It was as if I was protecting my little sister." " Not exactly." " But quite similar." "Yeah, well." "I think it's time for you to sleep now." " But don't turn off the lights yet." " Yes-yes-yes." "Good night my little prince." "Good night." "I'll leave the door open." "If you attack me..." "Puce will protect me." "Breathe in and feel the air flow through your vertebrae." "Breathe out." "You still need to call them on the telephone." " You're calling." " Oh no." "But you said..." "See, you still don't take responsibility." " But you have to be by my side." " Okay." " Promise?" " Promise." "Well, go on." " Can you tell me what to say?" " No." "Be natural; be spontaneous." "It won't bite." "Go on." " It's ringing." " That's normal." "Hello madame." "I would lke to speak with Mr. Lépervier." "Please?" "This is uh..." "Philippe." "Yeah, it's me." " It's her." " I know." "Go ahead." "Ask to speak with her dad." "Uh..." "Have you told him it's me?" "Pass it to him, and tell him it's me on the telephone." "Hello?" "Oh hi Monsieur, it's me, Philippe." "Yes." "When?" "This afternoon?" "Oh, so you're on vacation." "Lemme write it down." "Assemblée Nationale," "Métro Chamber of Deputies, at what time?" "Okay." "By the way, tonight I'm celebrating being 10." " And a half." " And a half." "Yeah, and if Caroline could only be here." "Yes..." "Thanks Mister." "Bye." "No." "No-no-no." "Stop." "You're too strong for me." "So tell me about this man." "Who is he?" "He's président." "Président of what?" "Of the future République." " Do you know where we'll meet?" " Uh, yes." " And do you know why?" " No, but you're gonna tell me." " To talk about his campaign." " What campaign?" "A political campaign." "For a skatepark." "Hold up." "Let me get this straight." "You're going to talk about opening a skate park with the president of the République?" "Exactly, mom." "Great." "Right." "So I've asked all of you to come because before we can begin to take the necessary steps," "I thought we should seek the advice of experts." "So, question 1:" "What's the situation with skateboarding in France?" "Monsieur, monsieur." " Go ahead." "I'm listening." " The bathroom." "Ah, the bathroom." "Do you..?" "Uh no." "Monsieur, would you accompany the child?" "Thank you." "So where were we?" "Yes." "Right, right." "The raw materials:" "Who can answer?" " Me, monsieur." " Yes?" "You'll need iron, wood, and plastic." "Some iron, some wood, and plastic." "Perfect." "Noted by the developer of the industrial sector." "And this will create employment opportunities for many people who need jobs." "Furthermore, we must find a suitable place in Paris to place this... park?" "Uh... skatepark." "A skatepark." "It must be a hilly location." "What about Champs-Élysées?" "That won't do." "It's certainly not hilly enough." "Yes, not enough hills." "Our project must have the approval of the public." "And it must be accessible to any Parisian regardless of his or her social standing." "And we must make sure that this place is made within a reasonable time frame given the importance of this project." "In conclusion, the subcommittee will assess the project, when I report these findings during my next meeting with the committee that is in charge so that we will soon be able begin the construction of a skatepark, for our dear children." " What does it say?" " Let's see:" ""I am with Émilie." "Do not enter..."" " Damn it!" " Oh wait, it's not locked." " What's this "living"?" " That way." " Mmm, looks delicious." " Would you like an éclair?" "I'd rather the tart." "What are you doing here?" "By the way, I met your dad." " When?" " I'll tell you about it." "Your dad allowed me to meet with members of the Assembly." " Inside his office?" " Yeah, it was great." "There were lots of politicians and we talked about skateboarding." "So there may be plans for a skatepark." "What?" "Really?" "I remember that he liked the idea." "I also brought along....." " Morgan!" " I'm fishing." " What the heck are you doing?" " I was just feeding the fish." " I wanna show you something." " I'm gonna try the baba au rhum." "Wow, this is fantastique." "Caroline, you're the first girl I've brought here." "Really?" "What's this?" "This is the starter." "And what's that?" "Oh, that?" "That's rotor 1 and rotor 2." "And this?" "The lights for the rotor." " Do they work?" " Kind of." "Here, sit down." " What're you doing?" " I'm putting on my oxygen mask." "You should too." "You'll need it during decompression." "Pass me the telephone." "Thanks." "This is Kryptonite 1." "Calling the base." "I repeat:" "This is Kryptonite 1." "Calling the base." "Permission to take off?" "Motor!" " What's happening?" " This is normal." "What's this?" "It's a périscope." "Wanna look?" "Take off your mask." "Oh, the stars." "Oh hi, Monsieur Moon." " That's normal." "It is the sky." " Woah, Venus." "Philippe, where are you?" "The Protector." "The Protector." "The Protector." "Philippe!" "I'm coming!" "Philippe!" "Save me!" "Save me!" "Philippe!" "Help!" "Help!" "Kill him." "Kill him!" "Philippe!" "Now!" "Philippe!" "Philippe!" "Philippe!" "Get me out of here!" "Get me out of here!" "I'm coming!" "I'll save you." "Horrible creature." "That's it." " Is it dead?" " I did shoot it in the chest." "Come." "Yeah-yeah, you need to pee." "But do it outside." "Puce!" "Yeah!" "C'mere!" "Puce!" "Here, Puce!" "Puce!" "Puce!" "Puce!" "Puce..." "You couldn't have Puce!" "Oh no..." "Farewell, Puce." "We liked you very much you know?" " We'll really miss you." " Yeah, really." " What's that?" " It's Puce's box." " Huh?" " Puce's favorite treats." "I have stitched an image of him on it." "Go on, throw it in." "Don't think too much about it." "Sometimes things happen, you know?" "It's not your fault." "I liked Puse a lot too." "Here, take this." "Phil?" "Phil, what're you doing?" " Looking at the Asniéres cemetery." " Oh no." "C'mere." "Think of the good memories you remember in your head." " Better, right?" " Stop being so paternalistic." "Well excuse me." "Do you still want to carry out phase 3?" "Of course I do." "I guess I'll try to, talk to Caroline's parents..." " What'll you tell them?" " I'm not sure yet." " Don't talk about this." " No, that'd upset everyone." "No-no-no." "That'd be unnecessary." " And if..." " "If" what?" " If..." "If, if, if..." "Take it easy." "Don't wanna get ahead of yourself." "I propose we offer them an "impartial amount" as condolence?" "Before talking nonsense, twirl your tongue in your mouth 7 times." " Y'know you said something really silly?" " Sure." " So anyway, how's Caroline?" " She thinks she's gonna die." ""She's gonna die"?" "She thinks so, huh?" "She must have a very active imagination to think that psychologically." "We'll help her get through this." "With a good idea." "We should always seek to find the good so find it." ""A good idea"..." "But what?" "But what could that good idea possibly be?" "Mom!" "I've got it!" "I've got a great idea!" " Hello." " Hello." "Caroline is sick." "And that's why I came." "You'll need to ask for permission from Ms. Lépervier." "They're not for you, they're for Caroline." "Yes, yes." " Ah, it's you Philippe." " I'm here so that I could see Caroline." "How sweet." "And the project is coming along fine." "What project?" " The skatepark of course." " Oh, right." "Uh... may I see Caroline?" "Naturally." " Where is she?" " 2nd door in the hallway." "It's not too serious?" "What?" "Caroline's illness." "No, no." "The bouquet, it is not for you." "Caroline." "Caroline." "It's me, Philippe." "Got you." "If your mother sees you, she'll know that you're not sick." "Get into bed." "Quick, into bed." "Doctor, I'm not feeling too good." " So, how did it go?" " Not very well." "And why not?" "I did what you told me to do:" "At the table, I refused to eat." "But then, I almost fainted." " So what did your mom think?" " My mom?" "She thought it was the heat." " And what did she do?" " She opened the window." " And your dad?" " He called the doctor." " And then?" " When he arrived, he examined me." " And?" " Well, he didn't say anything to me, but I overheard that he'd be back." "Then I guess that's settled." "This'll be very useful so you should try to read it." " You'll read it, right?" " Okay." "How to Understand Psychosomatic Illnesses, by Dr. Gilbert Tordjman." " "Psycho" what?" " Psychosomatics." "That's the head." "Didn't you say you were hungry?" "Well are you?" " Well yeah I haven't eaten for 2 days." " Then here." "See?" "I do think of you." " So, have you adjusted the temperature?" " No I haven't adjusted the temperature." " Do you even have a thermometer?" " Yeah." "Then I'll show you how to adjust it, so that you can worry your parents." " Voilà." "You see the mercury?" " Yeah." "You just have to tap it, until it reaches 42°." "That's the maximum." "When it reaches 42°, you shake like this and wait for it to drop. 39°, 38.5°..." "You see?" "38.5°." " See?" "Pretty cool, huh?" " Yeah." "Good." "So Caroline, today, you haven't been feeling well at all." "Tomorrow, you'll need to show that it's getting even worse." "Otherwise, I don't think they'll buy it." " Are you up to it?" " Yes, yes." " You can do it?" " Yes." " You'll be really sick?" " Alright." " Promise?" " Promise." "Good." "And while Frankie, Stéph and Morgan were at the Troca enjoying themselves..." "I had 1 week everyday starting at 5 PM, sharp." "Her mom didn't suspect a thing." "And her dad brought plenty of good news." "He showed me the plans for the skatepark and it was off to a great start." "And a strong bond based on trust and confidence was created between us." "And Caroline was...." "How did her father put it?" "Oh yeah. "Her conidition was unusually alarming," he said." "Yah-hoo!" " I can jump higher!" " Doubt it!" "Touched the ceiling!" " No you didn't!" " Did too!" "Shh!" "Shh!" "Shh!" " What?" " You're making too much noise." "But we're on vacation!" "Well then, if you don't care..." "Yah-hoo!" "Ah, it's you." "She looks worried." "That's good." "Or maybe she's tired of seeing me." "Or maybe she's tired of playing the nurse." " Want to see her?" " Yes." "Go on, then." "To them, Caroline was getting worse." "But between us, things kept getting better." "Control the air in your stomach and exhale slowly." "The doctor threw in the towerl after the 6th visit." "He simply gave up." "And while she was "ill", I was preparing the attack." "This was the day that mom and I decided to go in for the attack!" "I think the end is near." "Catherine will leave us." "It'll be tomorrow that she meets with the shepherd of Aubrac." " Oh come now." " So..." "We should get something special for Caroline." "But all the shops are closed during the holidays." "And she's your daughter anyway." " "Our" daughter you mean." " You're right." "I don't know what it is that she's got but it's worrying me too." "In fact I have so much doubt, I think I might have to stay in Paris." "What?" "That's absolutely out of the question." "We've been preparing this campaign for months." "We'll fight through this together." "Besides, this is the basis of our association." "There's simply a grain of sand clogging the machine." "Then find the solution." "Ahem." "Ah, it's Philippe." "How is she?" "Has she spoken to you?" " She no longer speaks." " She can't even talk." "Yes, there's a great silence." "Even the doctor's lost his Latin." "So we're a fortiori..." " I know why." " Really?" "Yes." "She has a psychosomatic disease." "Pardon?" "What did he say?" "She has a psychosomatic disease." "My mom told me." "And so did my friend professor Tannhäuser, from the institute of Paris." "He also said it was... psychosomatic." "Ah..." "Everything's going as planned." "They're hooked." "Like a fish out of water!" "But it's far from over." "Phil." "Phil, listen to me." "Hey..." "Listen you dog!" "Come here!" "Here doggie!" "Come here!" "C'mon doggie." "Nice doggie." "That's right." "Who's the good doggie?" "You are!" "Yes you are!" "Now can you hold out your paws?" "Good." "And now we must teach you a few tricks, hmm?" ""Chapter 1: 'The conscious and the unconscious.'"" "The root cause in shock... lies in the conscious and unconscious." "And what causes this shock psychologically?" "Because Caroline is unconsciously fixated on me." "So what you mean is she has an attachment to you?" "Caroline doesn't have a little brother so her desire for one was deferred into me." "Her obsession." "So within her, she is feeling a kind of... frustration?" "Uh..." "But we've always shown great affection towards her..." "But I assure you her feelings towards me doesn't replace hers towards you." "And her frustration is only going to increase." "Oh bother..." "You wouldn't know this Philippe, but we have to leave tomorrow." "I know." "And I have a solution." "The solution is quite simple and should also cure Caroline." "Caroline can live with me for a while." "My mom'll agree." "Well, Georges?" "And your mom wouldn't mind?" "I'm sure she'll be delighted." "Voilà the situation is found." "And all thanks to Philippe." "Thank you." "Thank you so much my dear Philippe." "Good." "So when shall we meet your mom?" "As soon as possible." "Yah-hoo!" "Hello?" "Is this the Institute of Paris?" "I'd like to speak to professor Tannhäuser." "Yes, Tannhäuser." "Ah." "There's no record of any Tannhäuser?" "Mm, thank you." "I don't really like that monster." " You don't?" " Yeah." "Then I'll find something else." " What about these?" " Yeah, they're fine." " Then I guess they'll do." " Good." " They're here!" " Yes, yes." " They're here!" " Okay!" "I heard you!" "Hurry or they might leave!" " You're being slow on purpose." " What?" "Why'd I do that?" "Come on!" "They'll expect me to answer, not you." " Then you'll tell me about it right?" " Sure." " Promise?" " Promise." " Maybe she's changed her mind?" " No, no, no." " Bonjour." " Madame." "I'm Georges Lépervier." "My wife, Héléne." " Enchanted." " Bonjour." "May I?" "Oh, thank you." " Come in." " Thank you." "You've made a strong impression on my son, Monsieur Lépervier." "Your son is particularly bright and intelligent." " He is?" " Yes, and resourceful." "Since his father left, he's been the man of the house." " Well, he's very sweet." " Thank you." "Shall we?" "You wouldn't realize how relieved we are that you could help." "Oh, really?" "Me and my wife are leaving this evening for a political tour that's very important and this malady that's been mysteriously caught by Caroline is a real problem." "Oh, I'm happy to help." "Phil adores Caroline very much." "It's incredible, this fixation that Caroline suddenly has for Phil." "A child's need for love takes many forms:" "Irrational?" "Passionate." "Hopefully she wouldn't cause you too much worry." " Not to worry." "I'm used to it." " And I welcome an intervention from Dr. Tannhäuser should it prove absolutely necessary." "Yes, our doctor seems to have lost his Latin." "Let's be sensible now." "Let's not blow things out of proportion." "It's not worth the hassle." "Everything will be back to normal, naturally." "Right." "Well, we don't want to waste anymore of your time." "Oh, I've got plenty of time." "I can pick Caroline up at around 5 PM." "That's very kind of you." "Lately, I feel like we've somehow neglected our daughter." "I envy the way you are with your son." "We are far too busy with our business to do the same." " Tell me, is it you who...?" " Yes, it is." "These are excellent photograps." " Thank you." " Maybe one day you'll do a portrait of the leader?" "Heh..." "Uh-huh..." " I adore how very close you are with your son." " Yeah?" "It's charming." "A-maze-ing." "Georges." "May we?" "Right then." "I guess I'll show you two the way out." "Well, for better or worse, I'll see you soon." "So?" "My little man..." "So?" "Do you like?" "Finally, you're at my house." " This is your bedroom?" " Yes, since I was little." "Oh..." "Those are for you." " Both?" " Yeah." "Thanks." "The royal guard of the Queen of the République, and complete with moustache:" "George William Ketchup!" " D'you know what we'll do in the morning?" " No, what?" "Hey..." "Hup!" "Hey..." "Hup!" "My turn." "There, gotcha." " What's his name?" " Rock 'n' Roll." "What species is it?" "A warbler from India, and a special one at that." " What're you doing?" " You'll see." " You won't hurt him, right?" " Of course not." "Has she made any friends?" "Ah, that's her boyfriend." "Gloups, her lover." " How is she breathing?" " It has air conditioning." " What're you doing?" " Speaking to them." "To say hello, you do this:" "Once like that, and then like this." "Wanna try?" "Go ahead." "They'll respond." "Say Cousteau Jr." "is that thing waterproof?" "You know the "kissing-fish"?" "Philippe." "Philippe." "Philippe, you asleep?" "Philippe." "I'm scared, could I join you?" "From now on, you can sleep here." " Philippe?" " Yeah?" " Is it normal to be scared?" " It's normal." " Caroline?" " Yes?" " Good night." " Good night."
