"My philosophy is, there's always someone worse off than you." "You're very wise, Mylord." "A moron, more like!" "That's better." "What are you staring at like that?" "Nothing." "Seen the Virgin Mary?" "What did she say?" ""l chose you, Steph, to love others."" "Where did she tell you that?" "By the riverbank..." "Over there." "Whereabouts?" "By the cave. I'd been climbing." " Where?" " l know, because I saw her." "I believe you." "Well, he can't see a thing." "Well, cutie!" "Your uncles said you got a sweetheart." "What's it to you?" "Only natural at your age." "You want to dip your wick!" "Can you still get it up?" "You're just a cutie. I'm an ace!" "'Cause of your big cigar?" "You're drunk. lt's OK." "You asked for it!" "Go to bed, little jerk!" " l'll do what I like!" " Asshole..." "Go on, Pierrot!" "I'm gonna get the fuck out of here!" "I'm a little rat!" "..." "Little rat!" "You from Pigsty Village?" "You're thinking of someone else." "I'm so pretty!" "Are you by any chance from St Germain?" " No, dammit!" " l thought you were." "At the country fair, a girl said I looked like Napoleon." "A bean-pole of a girl from St Leonard." "What a pair she had!" "Like 2 footballs!" "Like that!" "Bullshit!" "Don't interrupt." "My, the two of us were so drunk." "I felt my groin a-stirring." "So?"

"Hey, that's not fair!" "Why aren't you my dad?" "'Cause I'm your uncle." "But why?" "'Cause that's how it is." "A father's different." "I see you, not him." "Maybe, but that's how it is." "A father's a father." "And an uncle's an uncle." "Thanks a lot!" "Go sleep it off instead of thinking too much." "Where is my father?" "Thinking too much makes you unhappy." "That's just how I am." "You'll change as you get older." "Yeah, right..." "Shit!" "Hearts." "Over to you, Mr Mylord." "Right then, ace." "You dealt me a heart." "Don't you want it?" "I've no trumps." "Do I have to spell it out for ya?" "I feel kinda funny." "Not that I've eaten much..." "Thought you had spades..." "Now don't cheat!" "We don't cheat!" "Keep an eye out, old-timer, or they'll win!" "I've got nothing, lad." "Jesus Christ!" "It's just not possible!" "Hey, look what I found!" "I wondered where he'd got to." " He was sleeping it off." " l pissed the furthest...!" " He was behind the log pile." " Look at him!" " What a brother-in-law!" " What a curse!" "Put your pants on, or you can walk home." "I'll only get yelled at again!" "I caught him once and gave him such a hiding!" " This'll put you right." " Enough!" "You see, Mr Jack, he'd calm down if he got the same treatment." "You mean the kid?" "Got thrown outta school again." "Private school for him!" "A kangaroo said to me I was the most handsome." "Compliments come cheap this year!" "He told me, he did!" "He could talk, too!" "The kangaroo..." "The kangaroo told me." "Hey!" "I'm the tile king, me!" "After the storm - the typhoon!" "I'll redo your roofs, guys!" "Shut up, you swine!" " Trumps!" " l thought you had nothing!" "Takes one to know one!" " 1 more and that's it!" " What a surprise!" "OK, kid, let's dance." "Oh, God!" "I'd given up on you." "What's up?" "You look weird." "I'm hammered!" "My uncles' pals got me drunk." "No shit?" "I just puked." "Why?" " Why, what?" " Why'd you do that?" "You wouldn't understand, shithead!" "Getting wasted?" "It's how you become a man." " You have to do a chick first." " And get hammered." "You ain't done it." "Near as dammit." "You look a jerk with those!" "I'm an Indian, you asshole!" "You're the asshole!" "You gonna do what's-her-name?" "That's different. I don't love her." "You said you'd groped her breasts." "Still don't inhale?" "Half the time." "Depends..." "You can't help talking crap, can you?" "I never see you." "You don't eat at the canteen." "I got no time." "It's so boring in town." "Totally dead!" " You don't believe me?" " Not really." "You'll see." "You better watch out." "I'm so scared!" "Aurore said you wrote her a poem!" "Thinks you're a jerk!" " Been to the castle?" " Yeah." "I doubt it, 'cause she loves me!" "And Barbie?" "It's different." "When she puts her tongue in - gross!" "So, give me one." "Screw your sister!" "I haven't got one." "What a jerk." "Go get your horse." "We'll go for a ride." " Be right back." " No hurry." "Keep your hair on." "You bitch!" "C'mon!" "Careful with your gun!" "..." "Your gun!" "It's OK." "Let's go to the river." "Yeah, if you like." "Let's go look at a porno mag!" "A bone rag!" "Bone rag!" "Airplanes, airplanes" "Make your eyes go up" "Women, women" "Make your cock go up" "Up the ass, said the baroness" "Seeing the baron's balls" "I'd rather take it up the ass" "Than see it hanging in the street!"
