his future son-in-law and successor.Copy !req
9. - They're biting!
- Lots of fish?Copy !req
10. Some say there aren't many,
but not if you know how to catch them.Copy !req
11. - Mr. Dufour!
- This looks like the perfect spot.Copy !req
12. There's even a restaurant.
Let's have lunch.Copy !req
13. - Do you agree, Mrs. Dufour?
- Absolutely.Copy !req
14. The road passes under the bridge.
We'll have to go around.Copy !req
15. Giddyap!Copy !req
16. - It's so shady and cool.
- They have swings. How fun!Copy !req
17. We'll catch loads of fish!Copy !req
18. We're in for a real feast,Copy !req
19. you can bet on it.Copy !req

Fish specialties.Copy !req
21. Reception rooms, swings.

22. Affordable too.Copy !req
23. Thanks.Copy !req
24. Now you stop that, Mr. Dufour!Copy !req
25. - Hello!
- Have any fishing rods?Copy !req
26. No, we don't.Copy !req
27. - Don't people fish?
- They bring their own gear.Copy !req
28. They don't rent fishing poles!
Let's go somewhere else.Copy !req
29. I'm staying right here.
It's too hot on the road.Copy !req
30. Quite right, my dear.
We'll eat here.Copy !req
31. - Send out the chef.
- Right away, sir.Copy !req
32. Are you happy we've arrived,
Grandma?Copy !req
33. We'll get some fresh air
and have a nice lunch!Copy !req
34. No, no! I'm hungry.Copy !req
35. I'll park the cart in the shade.
She can get off there.Copy !req
36. Let's go, horses.Copy !req
37. - They're from a dairy.
- What do I care?Copy !req
38. - Yes, they're in a milk cart.
- What kind?Copy !req
39. - A family.
- Just my rotten luck!Copy !req
40. - Might as well go home.
- Then why don't you?Copy !req
41. - If at least there were women -
- There are three women.Copy !req
42. - Three?
- Here's the boss.Copy !req
43. - They want lunch, Mr. Poulain.
- Let's get to work.Copy !req
44. Cold water for your absinthe, Mr. Henri.Copy !req
45. Thanks, Mr. Poulain.Copy !req
46. Shall I fry up the fish
you caught this morning?Copy !req
47. No way, I'm sick of fish!
How about you?Copy !req
48. Since the factory opened,
the fish taste like motor oil.Copy !req
49. - Feed them to the cats?
- Feed them to the Parisians. They'll love it.Copy !req
50. Good idea!
Thanks, Mr. Henri.Copy !req
51. - The customers are waiting.
- Fine. Here I go.Copy !req
52. They'll want a picnic.
Parisians always do.Copy !req
53. If this keeps up, we'll have to go
even further to get some peace.Copy !req
54. Pity, we have a fine time here.Copy !req
55. Nice people, close to Paris,
we do as we please.Copy !req
56. Poulain wouldn't even mind
if we swam in our underwear.Copy !req
57. - What about the local gendarme?
- A pal. We had drinks two nights ago.Copy !req
58. - Don't trust him.
- Parisians are like germs.Copy !req
59. Let one in, and a week later
the place is crawling with them.Copy !req
60. What shall we do today?Copy !req
61. Escape. Row up the river.Copy !req
62. By the time we get back,
they'll be gone.Copy !req
63. It's too hot to row.Copy !req
64. Stop, you fool!
You never could mix absinthe!Copy !req
65. Let's check out the dairymaids.Copy !req
66. What a lovely spot!Copy !req
67. - Could we have fried fish?
- Nothing could be easier.Copy !req
68. How lucky we are!
Fried fish.Copy !req
69. - You a re on the banks of a river.
- I'd rather catch my own.Copy !req
70. We'll have fish, rabbit fricassee,
salad and dessert.Copy !req
71. Give me a big push.Copy !req
72. Bring us two liters of white wine
and some red from Bordeaux.Copy !req
73. Can we have lunch on the grass?Copy !req
74. We didn't come to the country
to eat inside!Copy !req
75. Hold tight!Copy !req
76. Stop, I'm begging you!
That's too high.Copy !req
77. Are we eating here, son-in-law?Copy !req
78. - It's ordered already.
- We're leaving already?Copy !req
79. We'll write it down for you.Copy !req
80. - Can we go down to the river?
- Right away.Copy !req
81. I'll unbutton my waistcoat.
Let's go, buddy.Copy !req
82. Headcheese and white wine -
how's that sound?Copy !req
83. Don't disturb us.
We're very busy.Copy !req
84. He's in an important meeting.Copy !req
85. I hope you chilled the wine.Copy !req
86. - Look at the mist on the bottle.
- Good girl!Copy !req
87. Wonderful invention, the swing.Copy !req
88. It promises a lot,
but you can't see a thing.Copy !req
89. Only because she's standing.Copy !req
90. If she'd sit, the view
would be much more interesting.Copy !req
91. I think I'll go talk to them.Copy !req
92. I'm sure they'd love to meet us.Copy !req
93. Dumb move. You'll scare them,
they'll hide behind their men,Copy !req
94. and you'll end up
playing hopscotch with the milkman.Copy !req
95. - Is that so?
- I have your best interests at heart.Copy !req
96. Personally, such affairs don't appeal to me.Copy !req
97. Yes, we know.
You're looking for eternal love.Copy !req
98. - What do you mean?
- You stayed with Hortense for 15 months.Copy !req
99. She was very beautiful.Copy !req
100. But dumb!
I'd have dumped her after a week.Copy !req
101. She didn't need to be intelligent.Copy !req
102. And you'd still be with Lea
if she hadn't married poor Gustave.Copy !req
103. I can't help it.
At heart, I'm a family man.Copy !req
104. Whores bore me,
society girls are even worse,Copy !req
105. and the others are too dangerous.Copy !req
106. You're afraid of the pox.Copy !req
107. No, of responsibilities.Copy !req
108. Imagine that girl on the swing
was interested in you,Copy !req
109. what would you do?Copy !req
110. I'd invite her for a boat ride.Copy !req
111. We'd land on the island,
or by the dam,Copy !req
112. and once safely alone,Copy !req
113. time for some hanky-panky!Copy !req
114. What if she gets pregnant?Copy !req
115. If babies were born
every time you fool around...Copy !req
116. the world would be overpopulated.Copy !req
117. What if she fell in love with you?Copy !req
118. - It'd prove she has excellent taste.
- Stop kidding around.Copy !req
119. I can't picture you in a dairy.Copy !req
120. You'd never see her again,
and it might ruin her life.Copy !req
121. What a shame.
It's not worth it, buddy.Copy !req
122. Get off the swing.
We'll find your father.Copy !req
123. She seems like such a nice girl.Copy !req
124. I think she's fantastic.
Properly dressed, she'd be incredible.Copy !req
125. I've made you an omelet with tarragon.Copy !req
126. Not eating your headcheese?Copy !req
127. No, chubby.
Give me some omelet.Copy !req
128. Seen the Parisians?
The wife's really something!Copy !req
129. - You mean the daughter.
- No, she's too skinny for me.Copy !req
130. You're interested in the mother?Copy !req
131. You bet!
That's what I call a woman.Copy !req
132. Lots to keep you busy!Copy !req
133. A classy dresser and fine manners too.Copy !req
134. - You're making my mouth water.
- I'm too busy.Copy !req
135. But in your shoes,
I know what I'd do.Copy !req
136. He's worse than a kid.Copy !req
137. The mother is starting to interest me.Copy !req
138. Everything is working out perfectly.Copy !req
139. I'm not afraid of responsibilities,Copy !req
140. so I'll take the girl, with all the risks:
kids, ruined lives.Copy !req
141. You take the mother.
Your scruples don't apply.Copy !req
142. We'll have a fine afternoon!Copy !req
143. Shall we approach them separately
or together?Copy !req
144. Women are like minnows.
They move in groups.Copy !req
145. Easy on the salt.
You'll be thirsty later.Copy !req
146. Kitty!Copy !req
147. Could we have our lunch here?Copy !req
148. Under the tree will be perfect.Copy !req
149. I hope there are no ants.Copy !req
150. No ants, but lots of cherries.
Could we eat some?Copy !req
151. We ought to ask permission.Copy !req
152. Are you nuts?
You'll scare away all the fish.Copy !req
153. Where are your brains?Copy !req
154. - See that stump?
- What stump?Copy !req
155. The one I'm pointing at.Copy !req
156. - Underneath it, in the shade.
- Yes?Copy !req
157. A perfect hideout for predatory fish.Copy !req
158. I'll bet there's a fat pike under there,
waiting to pounce on its prey.Copy !req
159. - A pike?
- They eat their own weight in fish every day.Copy !req
160. That's why they're called
"freshwater sharks,"Copy !req
161. and because they're difficult to catch.Copy !req
162. With one bite,
they snap the thickest line.Copy !req
163. - Could they bite off a finger?
- Not off, but down to the bone.Copy !req
164. Their mouths are studded with teeth.Copy !req
165. - Rivers are filled with strange things.
- That's for sure.Copy !req
166. Nature has not yet revealed
all her secrets.Copy !req
167. - Look!
- A pike?Copy !req
168. - No, a chub.
- A shrub?Copy !req
169. Not a shrub, you fool!
A chub!Copy !req
170. - You catch them with cherries.
- It's tiny.Copy !req
171. It's not that small.Copy !req
172. If only we had fishing rods.Copy !req
173. Look at this lovely golden caterpillar.Copy !req
174. Don't touch it. You'll get a rash.Copy !req
175. It's not dirty.
All it eats is grass.Copy !req
176. How amazing the country is,Copy !req
177. dozens of tiny things under each blade
of grass, living and moving.Copy !req
178. - That's nature.
- We risk crushing them with each step.Copy !req
179. Think like that, you'll never do anything.Copy !req
180. I wonder if those little creatures
feel joy and sorrow like us.Copy !req
181. Of course not.Copy !req
182. They're not people.
Besides, they're too small.Copy !req
183. Still, they are born and die like us.Copy !req
184. - I wonder how caterpillars have babies.
- They don't.Copy !req
185. That one, so fat and golden,
will surely become a lovely butterfly.Copy !req
186. What strange, funny things.
Just like us!Copy !req
187. When you were young -Copy !req
188. I mean,
when you were my age,Copy !req
189. did you often visit the country?Copy !req
190. No, not very often. Like you.Copy !req
191. Did it make you feel all funny,
like I feel today?Copy !req
192. Funny?Copy !req
193. Yes.Copy !req
194. Did you feel
an immense tenderness for it all -Copy !req
195. for the grass, the water, the trees?Copy !req
196. A vague sort of yearning.Copy !req
197. It starts here, then it rises.Copy !req
198. It almost makes me want to cry.Copy !req
199. Tell me, Mother,Copy !req
200. did you feel like that
when you were young?Copy !req
201. Dear child, I still feel like thatCopy !req
202. but I'm more reasonable now.Copy !req
203. Come and see!
There are some fantastic boats.Copy !req
204. - Such funny boats!
- Boats! Come on, Mother!Copy !req
205. - Henriette, your hat!
- Leave it. We'll picnic there.Copy !req
206. Oh, my skirt!
There's so much dirt in the country!Copy !req
207. They're skiffs, Anatole.Copy !req
208. I know all about them.Copy !req
209. Since you agree to go "fishing,"Copy !req
210. let's discuss our methods.Copy !req
211. Casting would be the most sporting.Copy !req
212. With live bait, dead bait,
or a lure?Copy !req
213. Ladies require a lure, obviously.Copy !req
214. - Shall we fish from the shore or a boat?
- A boat is more elegant.Copy !req
215. Come on, buddy.Copy !req
216. For the mother, it's best
to swoop down like an eagle.Copy !req
217. First, we need a lure.Copy !req
218. You're not very alluring.Copy !req
219. - Here's the bait.
- Let me see that.Copy !req
220. I can imagine her
pinning on these flowers this morning.Copy !req
221. Give it to me.Copy !req
222. - Why?
- You'll see.Copy !req
223. If you say so.Copy !req
224. She loves me, she loves me not,
she loves me, she loves me not.Copy !req
225. Must we do this?
It's so nice to lie in the grass and smoke.Copy !req
226. For 15 minutes,
then it gets boring.Copy !req
227. The wind's veered to the west.
The clouds are chasing each other.Copy !req
228. - Drat all these flies!
- It means we're in for a storm.Copy !req
229. Good. It'll calm us down.Copy !req
230. Is that a skiff? It's so pointy.Copy !req
231. - It's built for speed.
- Could we go for a ride?Copy !req
232. I'm too scared.Copy !req
233. No need to be scared.
Their speed makes them very stable.Copy !req
234. - I wouldn't get in if you paid me.
- I'm not afraid.Copy !req
235. - You must learn to swim first.
- Can you swim, Mr. Dufour?Copy !req
236. Of course!Copy !req
237. I used to, but I've forgotten.
I'm too busy now.Copy !req
238. - What's this for?
- It's called an oarlock.Copy !req
239. Some people call them "dames."Copy !req
240. Rowers never set out
without their dames!Copy !req
241. It's simple.Copy !req
242. With a boat like that,Copy !req
243. I bet I could hit 15 miles an hour
without breaking a sweat.Copy !req
244. I'd love to go for a ride.
Couldn't we rent one?Copy !req
245. No, dear. Such fine skiffs
must belong to the customers.Copy !req
246. Besides, it's getting cloudy.Copy !req
247. I shouldn't be surprised
if we had a squall.Copy !req
248. - A squall?
- Don't you know anything?Copy !req
249. A squall is a nautical term
for a storm, you ignoramus.Copy !req
250. Lunch is ready.
Shall I serve it?Copy !req
251. If it's going to rain, let's eat inside.Copy !req
252. I want to picnic under the cherry tree.Copy !req
253. - Well, Mr. Dufour?
- Your daughter is right.Copy !req
254. We came to get some fresh air.Copy !req
255. As I was telling Anatole,
we don't have enough oxygen in Paris.Copy !req
256. That's the truth.Copy !req
257. - Outside or inside?
- Outside, under the cherry tree.Copy !req
258. - As you wish.
- May we eat the cherries?Copy !req
259. Of course.Copy !req
260. Anatole!Copy !req
261. Tell Grandmother that lunch is ready.Copy !req
262. Bring our parasols in case it rains.Copy !req
263. - They stole our spot.
- They probably own those boats.Copy !req
264. They're free to sit where they choose.Copy !req
265. - We'll find another spot.
- Yes, but where?Copy !req
266. - By the jetty.
- Too many nettles.Copy !req
267. - Anywhere. On the grass.
- By the bridge?Copy !req
268. - Yes, sir! By the bridge.
- I preferred the cherry tree.Copy !req
269. Go get your hat.Copy !req
270. - Did you lose your hat, miss?
- Thank you.Copy !req
271. Thank you, sir.
You're too kind.Copy !req
272. - Did you wish to picnic?
- Yes.Copy !req
273. I bet you wanted that spot for the cherries.
I'm warning you, they're not very good.Copy !req
274. It's all yours.Copy !req
275. - We're not disturbing you?
- On the contrary.Copy !req
276. - You're too kind.
- Don't mention it.Copy !req
277. On behalf of the ladies,
I accept with gratitude. Thank you.Copy !req
278. Thank you so much!Copy !req
279. Thank you.Copy !req
280. What a fine spot!Copy !req
281. Well, Henriette,
you got your cherry tree.Copy !req
282. Such polite young men.
Obviously from good families.Copy !req
283. They're certainly not tradesmen.Copy !req
284. Have a seat, Grandma.
Right here.Copy !req
285. They've taken the bait,
but it's too early to reel them in.Copy !req
286. - They'll swallow it hook, line and sinker.
- What?Copy !req
287. Hook, line and sinker, idiot!
Don't you know anything?Copy !req
288. Technical terms bore me.Copy !req
289. Wait till they're hooked.Copy !req
290. For a shopkeeper's daughter,Copy !req
291. that girl has style.Copy !req
292. I was surprised
by how confidently she talked to you.Copy !req
293. - Are those the Prevert brothers?
- No, they're boaters.Copy !req
294. Yes, I knew the Preverts
when they were babies.Copy !req
295. I thought the oldest entered a seminary.Copy !req
296. Sure! We'll write it down for you.Copy !req
297. - Some white wine?
- Yes, I'm thirsty.Copy !req
298. This is good stuff.Copy !req
299. Thanks, my dear.
How lovely.Copy !req
300. The Parisians are going to get soaked.Copy !req
301. Mr. Dufour!Copy !req
302. - Can I get you anything else?
- No, thanks.Copy !req
303. Mr. Dufour...Copy !req
304. how about a little stroll
in the woods?Copy !req
305. I'm uncomfortable here.Copy !req
306. Cyprien!Copy !req
307. Remember last year
at Conflans-Sainte-Honorine,Copy !req
308. when we got lost in the forest?Copy !req
309. I'm sure there are ants here.Copy !req
310. No, Mother, you're imagining things.Copy !req
311. There's one in my bodice.Copy !req
312. Loosen the laces.Copy !req
313. He's driving me nuts!Copy !req
314. Anatole! Quit hiccuping!Copy !req
315. Make him stop.
My nerves can't stand it!Copy !req
316. Calm down.
We'll give him some water.Copy !req
317. Water?
All we have is wine.Copy !req
318. If you were a man,
you'd find some water!Copy !req
319. Anatole, don't be ridiculous.Copy !req
320. That came from the stomach.Copy !req
321. To the kitchen. I'll handle this.Copy !req
322. Where are you going?Copy !req
323. To drown yourself in the river?Copy !req
324. That's all we need!Copy !req
325. - Scratch my back.
- Like this?Copy !req
326. Not there, more to the right.Copy !req
327. That's the spot.
What a relief!Copy !req
328. Kitty!Copy !req
329. - It's time to reel them in.
- If you like.Copy !req
330. - Lace me up.
- I can't. They're looking.Copy !req
331. - What lovely weather.
- A bit muggy, isn't it?Copy !req
332. True.
Such heat isn't normal.Copy !req
333. - We're in for a storm.
- May we join you?Copy !req
334. Certainly.Copy !req
335. - Mind if I smoke?
- I'm used to it.Copy !req
336. My husband smokes like a chimney.Copy !req
337. - You did well in coming here.
- Yes, the fish was delicious.Copy !req
338. I meant it was well for us.Copy !req
339. Poulain's restaurant
lacks good company,Copy !req
340. as we noticed over our drinks.Copy !req
341. Imagine our delight to hear
some pretty Parisians had arrived.Copy !req
342. Such flattery!Copy !req
343. Not at all, madam.
I'm being quite sincere.Copy !req
344. - Men are all the same!
- And you, miss, on the swing,Copy !req
345. such grace and charm.Copy !req
346. Absolutely delightful.Copy !req
347. Wild horses couldn't have
dragged me away.Copy !req
348. - Do those pretty boats belong to you?
- Yes, miss. To both of us.Copy !req
349. How about a boat ride?
Just the four of us, on the river.Copy !req
350. - How about it?
- Oh, yes!Copy !req
351. We could row you over to the dam.
It's a beautiful spot.Copy !req
352. Oh, yes!
Please say we can, Mother.Copy !req
353. I don't know if it's proper.Copy !req
354. We might get caught in the rain,
and we need Mr. Dufour's permission.Copy !req
355. - The sun's out again.
- Yes, it is.Copy !req
356. - Shall I ask Father?
- Yes.Copy !req
357. Take the gentlemen with you to explain.
It's more proper.Copy !req
358. - Yes, Mother.
- Henriette!Copy !req
359. Just a moment, please.Copy !req
360. Lace me up.Copy !req
361. What fine young men.
And such manners.Copy !req
362. - You seem to be poaching in my waters.
- What if I am?Copy !req
363. Fine. Go with her to find Daddy.
I'll get the fishing rods.Copy !req
364. - You're smarter than you look.
- I'm smarter than you think.Copy !req
365. We'll see.Copy !req
366. - Do you often visit the country?
- Once a year. And you?Copy !req
367. - Every evening.
- You're lucky.Copy !req
368. - Come more often if you enjoy it.
- It's impossible.Copy !req
369. - Why?
- We have no time for trips.Copy !req
370. - My parents have a business to run.
- Not so scared of responsibility now?Copy !req
371. - I'm getting used to it.
- Responsibilities? You have a business?Copy !req
372. Yes, my friend and I are partners.Copy !req
373. We don't always agree
and sometimes trip each other up,Copy !req
374. but it all works out.Copy !req
375. That's how it is with partners.
Father prefers to work alone.Copy !req
376. It made my hiccups stop.Copy !req
377. What did I tell you?
Water never fails.Copy !req
378. May Mother and I go boating

439. that it seems wrong
to make any noise,Copy !req
440. to break the silence.Copy !req
