"DEEP BREATH" "'Morning, Uncle." "I was gonna wake you." "Up early for once!" "I couldn't sleep." "It was hell!" "You've got that damn thing on your ears already." "I had a nightmare." "It really freaked me out." "I thought I was dying." "Go eat your breakfast." "Then come give me a hand." "Yeah, yeah." "Hurry up!" "Take that thing off!" "Don't start already!" "What?" "What've you done now?" "I cut myself." "Feed the rabbits instead of being a jerk!" "Put that away." "I've told you not to leave the light on!" "You don't pay the bill." "I'd rather cut the grass." "Yeah, right!" "You'd cut your leg off!" "That'd be good!" "David, get off your ass!" "OK, OK!" "Need my help?" "Cool, man!" "I don't believe it!" "Don't feed the rabbit with myxomatosis!" "Get a pitchfork, clear up the hay in the barn." "Put more wood on the fire." "OK, OK." "Where is it?" "Well, look for it, know-all!" "Hurry up, you stubborn brat!" "How the hell can I find anything in this mess?" "Oh, I'll just use the spade." "Christ, it's Jack the Ripper!" "You be careful I don't cut a bit off you!" "Can you do it for me?" "Today, for the barbecue, we'll let you drink with the men." "But don't you go bragging about it." "Fuckin' spade sucks." "Don't say "fuck"." "Move, goddammit!" "We slave our asses off here." "At your age, I did ten times more." "I always get the shit jobs." "Go ahead and complain!" "We didn't have what you've got now." "You can't compare it." "We're zen." "We just try to live." "Not like you." "I wonder what you need..." "A kick up the ass, I reckon!" "Yeah, right!" "Get me some wood!" "Not again!" "David!" "There aren't enough embers." "It'll never be cooked!" "Wrap your fingers around my cock!" "Wrap, wrap, wrap!" "The ladies haven't phoned." "They won't leave us alone for long." "We could go to Mars, they'd still find us!" "I thought I'd broken it." "Talk of the devil!" "I'll answer that." "Must be my old lady." "My sciatica!" "I hope it's not flaring up again." "What's "my ziatic"?" "Sciatica's when you freeze up, everything freezes up." "That's real interesting." "You're such a moron!" "Crikey!" "David!" "...Give my little lady a kiss." "We'll phone you tonight, OK?" "Yeah!" "Have a nice day out!" "Your mother!" "Hi, Mom." "Yeah, I'm OK." "I'll study with Matthieu." "Mind it doesn't burn." "What?" "..." "No, we've got the same vacation work." "I'll work hard next year, I promise." "Look, stop worrying." "I won't get kicked out again." "Yes." "Everything's fine." "What's up?" "We're pigging out at lunchtime!" " Oh, yeah?" " Can't you smell it cooking?" " See you later?" " OK." "I'll be in the hut." "It's gonna be dead hot again." "Yeah, but my dad said there's a storm on the way." " I won't wait forever." " Yeah, OK." "Today's gonna be another scorcher." "David, turn it off." "Can't you hear it's scratched?" "The Ruskies and the Yanks are gonna mess things up." "As usual!" "Cut it out!" "Tired already?" "No, I'm thinking." "Where'd you find the records?" "A guy in town sells them." " It's back in fashion?" " Got a smoke?" " You should be ashamed." " You know I smoke." "That serves you right!" "That'll teach you to bum cigarettes!" "Up your ass, momma!" "I represent all the bad boys!" "Kings of style, kings of freestyle!" "I'm a wolf." "Cheers!" " Here's to you, kid!" " Here's to us!" "The kid knocks it back as well as me!" "We promised him, and he looks well on his way!" "You'll be sick, idiot!" "What?" ""Dying like Jean-Baptiste is the best we can hope for."" "Dying!" "That's funny!" "Shit happens!" "Hey, John, you afraid of death?" "It'll come soon enough." "As long as I don't suffer." "Have some white." "That'll pep you up." "Go ahead!" "Don't shake, you sack of shit!" "Mylord, sold your heifer?" "A bad deal!" "You lot are always complaining!" "Don't you worry about me!" "Well, Steph, you're pretty quiet?" " Pigheaded!" " Cabbage head!" "Eat up, Mylord!" "My pal, David, Pick up your glass" "Whatever you do, don't spill a drop" "Raise it to your head-bone..." "nose-bone" "Your belly-bone... bone-bone!" "And go glug glug glug..." "For he's a jolly good fellow!" "And so say all of us!" "Louder!" "He's a drunken bum!" "You can tell from his mug!" "More, more, more!" "You'll be wrecked!" "Kiddo, always take your time getting hammered!" "Just you worry about how you'll get your sorry ass home!" "John, did your dad really shoot you?" "You bet!" "I've still got the buckshot in my head." "I wouldn't have it out." "Feels like marbles!" " Feel them?" " Yeah." "Ah, memories!" "I'd've wasted the old fucker!" "Our elders were tough." "You just had to watch your step." "Well, I walk any way I like." "Even sideways if I want." "I'm not gonna stay in this hole and rot." "I'm going to the Caribbean!" "Good idea!" "1-2-3, I'm on my way!" "Not letting your dog out?" "No, he ain't used to the sticks." "Like the old girl." " Who?" " My wife." "Where is she?" "What the hell's it got to do with you?" "Shithead!" "Down, Scamp!" "You got any kids?" "Yeah, I got 2 brats about your age." "Why aren't they with you?" "It's no place for kids." " Play sports?" " Who?" " Your children." " Yeah, rugby." "Like me!" "We got shit shirts, but we're the best!" "Yeah, right!" "Where the fuck is it?" "You make 'em do their homework?" "I just want a divorce." "Screw homework!" "You must look after them?" "Get this into your skull:" "fathers always abandon their sons!" "Pierrot, some red?" "No, I'm on the hooch." "What do you want, Mylord?" "Some goat's cheese'd do me nicely." " I hate cheese!" " Eat what you're given." "I just drink kangaroo milk!" "Help yourselves." "Don't wait!" "Pass it to Kangaroo!" " Here!" " I don't want any, either!" "There you go." "How're you doing?" "Like Jack said, food soaks it up." "I reckon you've drunk enough." "I feel like throwing up." "Do you like Pierrot?" "He's a bit heavy-handed." "You have to know how to handle him." "Come and sit down." "A bunch of beech trees came down." "Only a few left." "I'm fuckin' fed up!" "I'm gonna puke." "If you feel sick, don't keep it in." "Hey, kid, couldn't ya stomach the beans?" "Remember last year when he burned the whole field?" "He wants thrashing!" "I can't do his father's job for him." "Sure, it's not the same thing." "Well, where is he?" "We haven't seen him in ages." "Didn't I come across him?" "Yes, at the girl's communion." "A stocky fellow with a big head." "Had scars on his face." "Like some Yugoslavian." "Or a Sicilian." "Yes, I remember now." "I recollect." "When he was drunk, you wouldn't recognize him." "He was OK, sober." "I blame the gambling." " He lost the lot." " Where is he?" "We told you!" "We don't know." "He could've made millions." "Poor thing..." "He's not the only one." "It was different for you, you went bankrupt." "Then, David's mother wanted to divorce." "She came back here." "First, she lived with the Grandma, then got a job." "What's she do?" " Sells washing machines." " She never remarried." "She's one helluva lovely lady though." "Well, your nephew's the opposite!" "He hates us talking about it." "It's not like he never had a dad." "Tell your wives we did OK without them!" "Heard about the pirate who rubbed his eye with his hook?" "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?" ""I 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?" " I 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." "It's OK." "You asked for it!" "Go to bed, little jerk!" " I'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!" " I 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?" "We got down to it, and she started pissing on me!" " What?" " Honest to God!" "She peed all over me!" "I swear by Napoleon!" "She had a bladder as big as a cow's!" "I never saw such a thing in my life!" "Hi!" "Are the fish biting?" "Cheers, rabbit." "Rabbit..." "Rabbit..." " Damn mafia!" " We end up paying!" "They don't put 'em in jail to give 'em medals." "Right!" "Shit!" "I left the dog in the car!" "I'll tell Brigitte Bardot!" "I wouldn't mind that!" "Poor thing!" "I'll get some water." "Look what Scamp can do." "Scamp, hat!" "OK, give!" "Give, Scamp." " Is that it?" " That's all he can do." "I'm gonna die..." "Hey, look what I've found!" "I'm gonna die..." " The state he's in!" " He asked for it!" " He fed the fishes?" " Looks like it." ""Wine on top of liquor comes back quicker"!" " Get him on his feet!" " Make him drink salty coffee!" "Come here, Scamp!" "Have a drink." "Drink that, kid." "You'll thank Pierrot!" "I'm gonna die..." "Paul..." "We gotta clean him up." "He's gone higher." "Up and up..." "Had to break sooner or later..." "The land needed it." "It's good for my tomatoes." "It's tight." "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." " I 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!" " I thought you had nothing!" "Takes one to know one!" " 10 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!" "Yeah, go on, girl!" "Go on, girl!" "My dad bought me another horse for competitions." "My grandpa wanted to give me a horse, but the fucker never came." "Mine's at home." "It's so cool!" "You're a real daddy's boy." "It's 'cause I'm good." "You're just a bunch of rich bastards." " My dad's a storekeeper!" " Yeah, right!" "Those days are over!" "There's still people starving and people rolling in it!" "Did you know Aurore's seeing Maxime at lunchtimes?" "What?" "Me and Nico saw them together the other day." "If it's true, I'll fuckin' murder the sonovabitch!" "Fucker!" "Nobody likes you!" "I don't give a shit!" "Fucker!" "Don't move, girl." "I gotta shoot at something!" "Aim at that post." "Missed!" " Yeah, I saw it." " No, you missed it!" "All this belongs to my dad." "The track's ours, too." "Big, hairy balls!" "He told me so..." "He told me so." " What you said wasn't true!" " What?" "Aurore!" "I swear!" "You're a big, fat liar!" "I'm not like you!" "And the track belongs to my father!" "It's everyone's!" "It's my father's!" "He's dumb to tell you that!" "He'll kick your head in." "Then see how you'll look!" "Stop, or I'll shoot!" "You're not dead!" "You can't be!" "I didn't kill you, dammit!" "Don't move..." "Don't move!" "I'm not a killer..." "I'm not a killer..." "Stay there!" "Don't move, dammit!" "I'm sick of running after you!" "Don't fuckin' move!" "C'mon, lad." "Get up on the horse." "Shit!" "Come here." "Come back here, you!" "Come here!" "Stay where I told you!" "Don't move!" "Don't move, OK?" "If you move, I'll kill you, too!" "I'll kill you!" "C'mon, pal!" "Get up on the horse!" " What are you doing here?" " I'm not doing anything." "What's wrong?" "Don't believe all you'll hear about me." "What do you mean?" " Swear it!" " What?" "Your mom's a good singer." "I'd like to look at you forever." "You can stay if you like." "Let's rehearse for the concert." "Yes, Dad." "Let us begin with "Music for a While"." " What's happened?" " That you, Steph?" "What have you done this time?" "Nothing." "We were at the rail track." "You can tell me." "Just watched the train go by, I promise." "You've got a star." "What're you on about?" "A star that follows you." "What time is it?" "Where have they got to?" "Eat, drink if you need to." "Don't try to do." "To do what?" "I've not done a thing." "I've not done a fuckin' thing!" "About time I was going." "Tomorrow's another day." "Early night all round tonight!" "C'mon, one last one for the road!" "Cheers!" "I have to die." "Gotta die..." "That's the way it is." "Help me!" "Help me!" "Guys, the lad's here!" "Hey, baboon, you back from the Caribbean?" "What're you playing at?" "Shit!" "So long, Scooter!" "He needs some city air in his lungs." "Gotta think of something in case his ma calls." "Say he's at Matthieu's, that we're getting him tomorrow." "Something like that..." "I hope to God she doesn't call him, then." "We need to get some more booze." "You pick your moments!" "...in my field." "He's in the hospital!" "He didn't kill him!" "What if his arm's paralyzed?" "Calm down!" "Weren't my 2 bullets in my gut enough for ya?" "We go way back..." "Screw that!" "Just let me at him!" "Let me see him!" "Fuckin' let me at him!" "Over our dead bodies!" "You ain't going near him!" "I want the little shit!" "I'm gonna smash everything up!" "Bastards!" "Ya bunch of fuckers!" "Fuckers!" "Look at the mess we're in!" "Just you wait...!" "Look, Gerard, we ain't kids!" "You fuckin' bastards!" " We'll work it out!" "We can pay!" " What?" "You scumbag!"
