Copy !req
21. Do I have everyone's paper?
Copy !req
22. You may go.
Copy !req
23. Not you, my friend!
Copy !req
24. Break time is a reward, not a right.
Copy !req
25. Here poor Antoine Doinel was
unfairly punished by Sourpuss
Copy !req
26. for a pinup that fell from the sky.
Copy !req
27. It will be an eye for an eye,
a tooth for a tooth.
Copy !req
28. Hey, champs, maybe you need
a referee over here.
Copy !req
29. No break time for three days.
That'll teach you.
Copy !req
30. Look at this!
Copy !req
31. What's so interesting there?
Copy !req
32. Take your seats!
Copy !req
33. We have a young Juvenal in our class,
Copy !req
34. though he doesn't know an Alexandrine

Copy !req
35. Doinel, for tomorrow
you will conjugate -
Copy !req
36. Take your seat and write this down.
Copy !req
37. In all tenses of the indicative,
conditional and subjunctive -
Copy !req
38. The rest of you,
get out your notebooks.
Copy !req
39. "I deface the classroom walls..."
Copy !req
40. "And abuse French verse."
Copy !req
41. "The Hare"!
Copy !req
42. Doinel, go get something
to wipe that rubbish off the wall,
Copy !req
43. or I'll make you lick it off!

69. I warn you, speak up
or your neighbour will get it.
Copy !req
70. - You hear me, Simonot?
- It wasn't me, sir.
Copy !req
71. And cowards to boot!
Copy !req
72. What a class this year!
Copy !req
73. I've known idiots before,
but at least they were discreet!
Copy !req
74. They kept their heads down
and didn't get caught.
Copy !req
75. And you - you call that clean?
You made it filthier!
Copy !req
76. Go to your seat and copy this down.
Your parents will pay the price.
Copy !req
77. Poor France will be in sorry shape
in ten years!
Copy !req
78. - Everyone swipes money from their parents.
- Maybe, but it isn't easy.
Copy !req
79. I bet even Mauricet does it.
Copy !req
80. Hey, Mauricet,
we want to ask you something.
Copy !req
81. - Where'd you get those fancy glasses?
- I bought them.
Copy !req
82. Did you pinch the money
from your mum or your dad?
Copy !req
83. Don't pretend you don't go
through their pockets.
Copy !req
84. You're the louse
who squealed on me today!
Copy !req
85. You're a louse, Mauricet!
Copy !req
86. Your days are numbered.
Copy !req
87. You'll get yours!
Copy !req
88. I'll never finish my homework tonight.
Copy !req
89. - Sourpuss is a real arsehole.
- That's his job.
Copy !req
90. Still, I'm gonna smash his face in
before I go to the army!
Copy !req
91. See you.
Copy !req
92. "I deface the classroom walls."
Copy !req
93. - Evening, Mum.
- Evening.
Copy !req
94. - Where's the flour?
- What flour?
Copy !req
95. Didn't you buy what I told you to?
Copy !req
96. - Where's the list I left you?
- I lost it.
Copy !req
97. No wonder you get such bad grades.
Copy !req
98. Go and get my slippers.
Copy !req
99. In the bedroom, under the bed.
Copy !req
100. I need that flour.
Go and get it right away.
Copy !req
101. They had to use forceps.
Copy !req
102. Seems it runs in the family.
Same thing happened to her mother.
Copy !req
103. That means nothing.
With Fanny it was over in ten minutes.
Copy !req
104. But if they hadn't done a caesarian
for the last one,
Copy !req
105. I wouldn't be talking to you now.
Copy !req
106. And my sister, with one every year.
Can you imagine?
Copy !req
107. The doctor warned her.
Copy !req
108. She had to have surgery.
There was blood everywhere.
Copy !req
109. - Always running, eh, son?
- I got bawled out 'cause of this flour.
Copy !req
110. You mustn't make your mother mad.
You have to handle her gently.
Copy !req
111. - What's that?
- A fog light.
Copy !req
112. I'm gonna try it out
at the race on Sunday.
Copy !req
113. - Look at your little flour boy here.
- That's not funny!
Copy !req
114. I thought it was.
Copy !req
115. - Where's my change?
- I need it for lunch at school.
Copy !req
116. Ask your father.
Copy !req
117. Let's have it!
Copy !req
118. I sense a storm coming.
Copy !req
119. - Dad, I need some money -
- What?
Copy !req
120. I just need 1,000 francs.
Copy !req
121. Which means you're hoping for 500,
meaning you really need 300,
Copy !req
122. so here's a hundred.
Copy !req
123. All right, 500.
But your mother should pay for that.
Copy !req
124. Where are the scissors?
Copy !req
125. Where are the scissors?
Copy !req
126. Stop playing the clown.
And what are you laughing about?
Copy !req
127. This is no time for homework.
We're about to eat.
Copy !req
128. She's right. There's a time
and a place for everything.
Copy !req
129. Where'd you get this pen?
Copy !req
130. I traded for it.
Copy !req
131. You've been doing
a lot of trading lately.
Copy !req
132. What's that? Do you smell it?
Copy !req
133. - It's fish.
- Smells promising.
Copy !req
134. Ask your mother
if the dishtowel's on fire.
Copy !req
135. Why?
Copy !req
136. For a laugh.
Copy !req
137. You can clear the table, son.
Copy !req
138. Your cousin called.
Copy !req
139. - His wife's expecting again.
- Four kids in three years?
Copy !req
140. Like rabbits. It's disgusting.
Copy !req
141. Speaking of kids, what'll we do
with this one for the summer?
Copy !req
142. - Summer camp ain't for poodles.
- And he'd be with others his age.
Copy !req
143. - We don't have to decide yet.
- The sooner, the better.
Copy !req
144. Don't pull too hard.
Copy !req
145. - Nice, huh?
- "Lions Club."
Copy !req
146. - What's going on here?
- Hey, careful.
Copy !req
147. Where would you like
to drive this Sunday?
Copy !req
148. The club asked me to plan the route.
Copy !req
149. - I want to rest on Sunday.
- Where?
Copy !req
150. - At my girlfriend's.
- What'll the guys think?
Copy !req
151. Listen, I've had enough.
Copy !req
152. - Housework all morning and -
- And the "touch" system all afternoon.
Copy !req
153. - What?
- Your typewriter or someone else's.
Copy !req
154. Antoine, time for bed now.
Copy !req
155. 'Night, Dad. 'Night, Mum.
Copy !req
156. You're such an idiot sometimes.
Copy !req
157. You've got no sense of humor.
Copy !req
158. You're wasting your time on that rubbish.
Copy !req
159. Don't forget the rubbish,
and turn your light out.
Copy !req
160. I make contacts at the races.
You'll see. I'll be VP one day.
Copy !req
161. You'll never be VP. They like you
puttering along where you are.
Copy !req
162. Our e evening program me has ended.
Good night, ladies and gentlemen.
Copy !req
163. Get up, quick.
We didn't hear the alarm.
Copy !req
164. "I deface the classroom walls."
Copy !req
165. There's no sock left
around all these holes.
Copy !req
166. Those have had it.
Buy some new ones.
Copy !req
167. All your others are dirty.
Copy !req
168. I gave you money to buy sheets
for the boy's bed, remember?
Copy !req
169. He prefers his sleeping bag.
Right, son?
Copy !req
170. Sure, it keeps me warm.
Copy !req
171. You're still here?
Copy !req
172. See you.
Copy !req
173. - No need to run.
- We're going to be late.
Copy !req
174. We'll have to sneak in
and we'll get in trouble.
Copy !req
175. - Take it easy.
- Why?
Copy !req
176. Sourpuss said he wouldn't
let you back in.
Copy !req
177. - You think he'll do it?
- Yeah. He can't stand you.
Copy !req
178. - Got any money?
- Lunch money.
Copy !req
179. Then just follow me.
Copy !req
180. What are you up to?
Copy !req
181. Follow me.
Copy !req
182. - Put your bag behind the door.
- Will they be safe there?
Copy !req
183. I leave mine here all the time.
Copy !req
184. My God, it's Antoine!
I'm sure he saw me.
Copy !req
185. Which one is yours?
Copy !req
186. The dark-haired one.
What's he doing out of school?
Copy !req
187. - You're really gonna get it tonight!
- She wouldn't dare tell my father.
Copy !req
188. - Wasn't that him?
- Never saw the guy before.
Copy !req
189. Then you're safe.
Copy !req
190. I'm going back to school tomorrow,
but I'll need a note.
Copy !req
191. - What are you gonna do?
- I have an old one I never used.
Copy !req
192. I'll cut off the date.
Here, you can copy it tonight.
Copy !req
193. - What about the handwriting?
- Copy your mother's.
Copy !req
194. That'll be hard.
She writes really funny.
Copy !req
195. Don't worry. It'll be all right.
Copy !req
196. I hope so. See you.
Copy !req
197. "Dear Sir,"
Copy !req
198. "Please excuse"
Copy !req
199. "my son René"
Copy !req
200. "who was sick -"
Copy !req
201. My son René!
Copy !req
202. Hi, Dad.
Copy !req
203. - Something burning in here again?
- It's from downstairs.
Copy !req
204. - Set the table for two tonight.
- Has Mum left?
Copy !req
205. No, she called to say
she'd be home late.
Copy !req
206. Her boss needs her
for year-end inventory.
Copy !req
207. You and I will have ourselves
a real bachelors' dinner.
Copy !req
208. - She said there are eggs around.
- I know where.
Copy !req
209. - Did you work hard today?
- Yes.
Copy !req
210. - What did you study?
- "The Hare."
Copy !req
211. Ah, "The Tortoise and the Hare."
Copy !req
212. No, just "The Hare."
Copy !req
213. - Did you do well?
- I wasn't called on.
Copy !req
214. You have to raise your hand
and get noticed,
Copy !req
215. or you'll never get in the race.
Copy !req
216. You have to take initiative in life.
Copy !req
217. By the way, have you thought
about your mother's birthday?
Copy !req
218. It's the 17th.
I trust you'll get her something.
Copy !req
219. Are you listening?
Copy !req
220. I know what you're thinking:
Copy !req
221. She's been hard on you lately.
Copy !req
222. But she's under a lot of pressure.
Copy !req
223. Put yourself in her place.
Copy !req
224. Keeping house and working part-time,
Copy !req
225. and this place as cramped as it is.
Copy !req
226. I'm working on finding us
a different place.
Copy !req
227. Women are always taken
advantage of at the office,
Copy !req
228. and they don't know
what to do about it.
Copy !req
229. But she really loves you, you know.
Shit!
Copy !req
230. - Where's my Michelin guide?
- I didn't touch it.
Copy !req
231. You know I won't tolerate lying!
Copy !req
232. It's the truth.
Copy !req
233. I know I put it away yesterday.
Copy !req
234. It wasn't me.
Copy !req
235. Things vanish into thin air
around here!
Copy !req
236. It wasn't me.
Copy !req
237. All right. I'll ask your mother.
Copy !req
238. Time for bed now.
Copy !req
239. Don't forget the rubbish.
Copy !req
240. - My boss drove me home.
- Your boss!
Copy !req
241. - I couldn't very well refuse, could I?
- I hope you get overtime for that!
Copy !req
242. I will, at the end of the month.
Copy !req
243. Those services are usually paid in cash!
Copy !req
244. Oh, knock it off!
Copy !req
245. No wonder madame needs
to rest on Sunday.
Copy !req
246. - By the way, where's my Michelin guide?
- How should I know? Ask the boy.
Copy !req
247. - He said he didn't touch it.
- He lies through his teeth.
Copy !req
248. - Like someone else I know.
- If you raised him better -
Copy !req
249. I ga ve him my name, damn it!
I put food on the table!
Copy !req
250. I've had enough of your criticism!
Copy !req
251. Fine! We'll send him to the Jesuits
or the army orphans.
Copy !req
252. A t least I'd ha ve some peace and quiet!
Copy !req
253. You two better eat out
till the end of the month.
Copy !req
254. For that I need a clean shirt!
Copy !req
255. If you can't wash the shirt,
at least wash the collar!
Copy !req
256. You shouldn't have bought
that fog light.
Copy !req
257. I bought it second-hand.
Copy !req
258. Go ahead. Open it.
Copy !req
259. What if it's the gas man?
Copy !req
260. They give you advance notice.
Copy !req
261. Morning, sir. I came to see
if Antoine's better today.
Copy !req
262. - Better? Why?
- He missed school yesterday.
Copy !req
263. You hear that?
Copy !req
264. - Thanks, kid.
- Goodbye, sir.
Copy !req
265. You don't seem surprised.
Copy !req
266. Should I be?
Copy !req
267. Nothing that boy does surprises me.
Copy !req
268. - I've gotta come up with an excuse.
- The bigger, the better.
Copy !req
269. When my mum broke her leg,
I told them the whole story,
Copy !req
270. except that she was drunk.
I didn't need a note.
Copy !req
271. Well, I can't use the same story.
Copy !req
272. And we can't show up together.
Copy !req
273. Right. You go first.
Copy !req
274. There you are.
Copy !req
275. A little extra homework
and you get sick, eh?
Copy !req
276. And your parents fall for it.
Copy !req
277. Can't wait to see what excuse
you wrangled out of them this time.
Copy !req
278. Let me see your note.
Copy !req
279. - I don't have one.
- Don't have one?
Copy !req
280. You think that's how it works?
It's not that easy, my friend!
Copy !req
281. - It was... my mother...
- What about her?
Copy !req
282. She's dead!
Copy !req
283. Oh, my gosh.
Copy !req
284. Sorry, son. I didn't know.
Copy !req
285. - Was she ill?
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
286. You should've told me.
You should always confide in your teachers.
Copy !req
287. Go on now. Get in line.
Copy !req
288. - What excuse did you give him?
- Leave me alone!
Copy !req
289. - "Better thorns in the woods than..."
- Than up your -
Copy !req
290. If you'd wash your ears out, you'd hear
what your classmate is whispering.
Copy !req
291. Than up your arse.
Copy !req
292. - He's just trying to confuse me.
- All right, go on.
Copy !req
293. Now I've lost my place.
Copy !req
294. "Than flowers in the manger."
Copy !req
295. "Than flowers in the manger.
Better to have freedom..."
Copy !req
296. "And constant threat..."
Copy !req
297. "Than slavery..."
Copy !req
298. "In eternal April." And you're
an eternal loafer! You get an F.
Copy !req
299. I knew it at home.
Copy !req
300. Doinel?
Copy !req
301. Never mind, son.
Copy !req
302. Simonot.
Copy !req
303. "The Hare,"
Copy !req
304. by Jean Richepin.
Copy !req
305. Sit down, boys.
Copy !req
306. I suggest the punishment
should be in proportion -
Copy !req
307. He's exceeded
all proportion this time.
Copy !req
308. Only his parents can
be se vere enough now.
Copy !req
309. We'll discuss this tonight!
Copy !req
310. What are you going to do?
Copy !req
311. I can't live with my parents now
after what's happened.
Copy !req
312. I have to disappear.
Copy !req
313. Oh, I've done worse than this.
Copy !req
314. But I'm fed up.
I have to get out on my own.
Copy !req
315. I'll write them a letter.
Copy !req
316. - Just like that?
- Yes, it's for the best.
Copy !req
317. - Where will you sleep tonight?
- I don't know. I don't really care.
Copy !req
318. I've got an idea.
Copy !req
319. - Meet me in an hour at Place Pigalle.
- Okay.
Copy !req
320. It's my uncle's old printing plant.
Copy !req
321. The machines were so heavy,
the floor caved in.
Copy !req
322. Think it might cave in some more?
Copy !req
323. No, it already hit bottom.
You'll be warm here.
Copy !req
324. Here's your mattress,
and this'll be your pillow.
Copy !req
325. Damn, it's heavy!
Copy !req
326. You can just walk around
until midnight.
Copy !req
327. Keep my briefcase for me.
Give it back to me tomorrow.
Copy !req
328. Sure.
Copy !req
329. "My dear parents, I understand",
misspelled, of course,
Copy !req
330. "how wrong it was to lie -"
Copy !req
331. I'll bet he does.
And why kill me off instead of you?
Copy !req
332. Personal preference, obviously.
Copy !req
333. "We can't go on living together."
Copy !req
334. "Therefore I'll try my luck alone
in Paris or elsewhere."
Copy !req
335. "I'll prove I can become a man."
Copy !req
336. "One day I'll come back
and we'll discuss all that's happened."
Copy !req
337. "Love, Antoine."
Copy !req
338. So you think it's normal
for him to hate me?
Copy !req
339. - You've been so hard on him.
- He gets on my nerves.
Copy !req
340. - Can you help me catch him?
- Of course, ma'am.
Copy !req
341. - Is that your sister?
- Never seen her before.
Copy !req
342. - Is the dog hers?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
343. - May I help?
- Certainly. The more, the better.
Copy !req
344. - What's his name?
- I have no idea.
Copy !req
345. - Beat it, kid.
- She asked me first!
Copy !req
346. You heard me!
Copy !req
347. MERRY CHRISTMAS
Copy !req
348. Doinel, I bet you got it last night.
Copy !req
349. Not at all. Everything was fine.
Copy !req
350. Go on now.
Copy !req
351. Parents spoil these kids rotten.
Copy !req
352. Need some help over there, Chabrol?
Copy !req
353. The last question,
Copy !req
354. even easier this time.
Copy !req
355. Tip of the tongue between your teeth,
as if you had a lisp.
Copy !req
356. I can't do it, sir. Not everyone
can make their tongue do that.
Copy !req
357. Silence!
Copy !req
358. Go sit down.
Copy !req
359. Insolent!
Copy !req
360. Abbou.
Copy !req
361. Answer this question.
Copy !req
362. Be seated.
Copy !req
363. Frochot, you're in charge till I return.
Copy !req
364. We don't know
what to do with him anymore.
Copy !req
365. My dear lady, you deserve better.
Copy !req
366. My poor darling! Are you all right?
Copy !req
367. - Where did you spend the night?
- In a printing plant.
Copy !req
368. I don't care if he's last in his class.
I just want him to behave.
Copy !req
369. Then we're agreed.
Copy !req
370. Maybe it's something in his glands.
Copy !req
371. You mustn't catch cold.
Copy !req
372. There! Now off to bed.
Copy !req
373. I'm not tired, Mum.
Copy !req
374. You'll be more comfortable in our bed.
Copy !req
375. I was your age once too, you know.
You kids always forget that.
Copy !req
376. I was stubborn too and didn't want
to confide in my parents.
Copy !req
377. I preferred writing in my diary.
Copy !req
378. No one's ever read it.
I'll show it to you one day.
Copy !req
379. Once when I was your age,
we were on holiday,
Copy !req
380. and I ran away
with a young farm boy.
Copy !req
381. Puppy love.
They caught us right away.
Copy !req
382. Mother made me promise
never to see him again.
Copy !req
383. She never told my father.
Copy !req
384. I cried and cried, but I obeyed her,
Copy !req
385. because you should always obey
your mother.
Copy !req
386. You and I can share
some little secrets.
Copy !req
387. Tell me, what did you mean
in your letter when you said:
Copy !req
388. "We'll discuss all that's happened"?
Copy !req
389. My misbehaving, and my bad grades.
Copy !req
390. So talk to me now.
Copy !req
391. I just can't concentrate.
Copy !req
392. I want to quit school
and earn a living.
Copy !req
393. That's nonsense!
Don't you understand?
Copy !req
394. If you knew how sorry I am
I stopped after high school!
Copy !req
395. And your father never even finished!
Copy !req
396. It's hurting his career now.
Copy !req
397. I know they teach you
a lot of useless stuff in school.
Copy !req
398. Algebra... science.
Copy !req
399. Nobody uses that stuff in real life.
Copy !req
400. But what about French?
Copy !req
401. One always has letters to write.
Copy !req
402. Here's another secret
you and I can share.
Copy !req
403. If your next French essay
Copy !req
404. is in the top five,
I'll give you 1,000 francs!
Copy !req
405. But you mustn't tell your father.
Copy !req
406. "The dying man pulled himself up"
Copy !req
407. "and ga ve his children
a piercing look."
Copy !req
408. "The hair bristled
on the nape of his neck."
Copy !req
409. "His eyes lit up."
Copy !req
410. "A breath caressed his face
and made it sublime."
Copy !req
411. "He raised his hand in anger"
Copy !req
412. "and shouted Archimedes '
famous last words:"
Copy !req
413. "Eureka! I have found it."
Copy !req
414. Describe a serious event you witnessed
that involved you personally.
Copy !req
415. Eureka! I have found it.
Copy !req
416. "My Grandfather's Death."
Copy !req
417. The boss is sleeping
with the new secretary.
Copy !req
418. She's well-armed, that girl,
Copy !req
419. and she used it to get promoted
to executive secretary.
Copy !req
420. She has all the necessary talents
for the position.
Copy !req
421. Now I'll have to watch out for her.
Pillow talk and all that.
Copy !req
422. I showed her how to fudge a bit
on travel expense reports.
Copy !req
423. She'd only stay in three-star hotels.
Copy !req
424. By the way, I still haven't found
my Michelin guide.
Copy !req
425. One of you must have it.
Copy !req
426. - Don't start with your Michelin guide!
- I don't like mysteries!
Copy !req
427. - You left something on the stove again.
- No, I didn't.
Copy !req
428. What's got into him?
Copy !req
429. This is the last straw!
Copy !req
430. Stop shouting and get some water!
Copy !req
431. I've had it, you little idiot!
Copy !req
432. What got into you,
lighting a candle in there?
Copy !req
433. It was for Balzac.
Copy !req
434. - What do you take me for?
- It was for my French essay.
Copy !req
435. Leave him alone.
He promised me something.
Copy !req
436. What? To collect
on our fire insurance?
Copy !req
437. One candle won't do the job.
Here, try this!
Copy !req
438. As long as you're living under this roof,
you'll do as you're told.
Copy !req
439. Otherwise we've no other choice
but the military academy.
Copy !req
440. Know what that is?
They'll keep you in line, all right.
Copy !req
441. Know what we'll do
to lighten things up?
Copy !req
442. We'll all go to the movies.
Copy !req
443. Terrific.
Great way to teach him a lesson.
Copy !req
444. - Did you write a good essay?
- Not bad.
Copy !req
445. Julien.
Copy !req
446. You have to trust us.
You'll be pleasantly surprised.
Copy !req
447. - No more surprises!
- So are you taking us to the movies?
Copy !req
448. - What's showing?
- Paris Belongs to Us.
Copy !req
449. - If this is a plot...
- Unless you'd rather stay home.
Copy !req
450. Me? I've worked hard.
I deserve to go out.
Copy !req
451. But they're not fond
of arsonists at the Gaumont.
Copy !req
452. I never had strawberry
ice cream before!
Copy !req
453. Must have been out of season.
Copy !req
454. She sure had... you know...
she had quite a...
Copy !req
455. That's all you noticed, eh?
Copy !req
456. A lot of class!
Copy !req
457. Having a good time back there?
Copy !req
458. I really liked the film.
Copy !req
459. It wasn't funny.
Copy !req
460. But it had depth.
Copy !req
461. - What?
- It had depth.
Copy !req
462. The film.
Copy !req
463. Here we are.
Copy !req
464. General Daredevil and his army!
Copy !req
465. You'll wake the whole building.
Copy !req
466. Look what pretty legs
your mother has.
Copy !req
467. Home sweet home.
A bit smoky, eh?
Copy !req
468. Darling, get the rubbish.
Be a good boy.
Copy !req
469. See? I've won him over.
I hope I won't regret it.
Copy !req
470. Doinel, your paper is first today
Copy !req
471. only because I decided to return them
in order beginning with the worst.
Copy !req
472. Your search for perfection
led you straight to an F, my friend.
Copy !req
473. To those less familiar with Balzac,
what we have here is A Sinister Affair.
Copy !req
474. That Doinel chose to write about
his grandfather's death was his right.
Copy !req
475. We know he doesn't hesitate
to sacrifice his relatives, if necessary.
Copy !req
476. It's not true, sir. I didn't cheat.
Copy !req
477. Judge for yourselves.
Copy !req
478. "The dying man pulled himself up"
Copy !req
479. "and gave his children
a piercing look."
Copy !req
480. "The hair bristled
on the nape of his neck."
Copy !req
481. "His eyes lit up. A breath caressed
his face and made it sublime."
Copy !req
482. "He raised his hand in anger and
shouted Archimedes' famous last words:"
Copy !req
483. "Eureka! I have found it!"
Copy !req
484. Well, I've found it, too, Doinel.
Copy !req
485. - You're a miserable plagiarist!
- It's not true, sir.
Copy !req
486. Go to the head's office this instant.
Copy !req
487. Take this and go with him.
Copy !req
488. I don't want to see you
back here this term!
Copy !req
489. What are you doing?
Copy !req
490. I sit next to him.
I would have seen it if he had copied.
Copy !req
491. - You want to be suspended as well?
- I wouldn't mind.
Copy !req
492. More insolence!
Copy !req
493. - Get out!
- I don't want to. It's cold outside.
Copy !req
494. - Get out of here!
- This is illegal.
Copy !req
495. I'll show you who makes the law here!
Copy !req
496. Illegal, huh?
Copy !req
497. - Did you take him to the head?
- No, he ran away.
Copy !req
498. I socked him in the jaw and took off.
Copy !req
499. What about you?
Copy !req
500. Sourpuss was furious.
I'm suspended till after Christmas.
Copy !req
501. Poor guy. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
502. I can't go home now.
That's for sure.
Copy !req
503. My father said he'd send me
to the academy.
Copy !req
504. - What academy?
- Something to do with the military.
Copy !req
505. You'll have a uniform.
Besides, there's a future in the army.
Copy !req
506. Maybe, but not for me.
If only it were the Navy!
Copy !req
507. I've never seen the ocean.
Copy !req
508. I've seen the English Channel,
the Atlantic,
Copy !req
509. and the Mediterranean,
but not the North Sea.
Copy !req
510. Come on, stay at my place.
We'll manage.
Copy !req
511. Holy cow, a horse!
Copy !req
512. One of my father's souvenirs.
Copy !req
513. This place is huge.
Copy !req
514. You can sleep here.
No one will know.
Copy !req
515. What about your parents?
Copy !req
516. They never come in here.
Copy !req
517. My mother drinks, and my father
spends all day at the races.
Copy !req
518. First off, we've got to think of a way
to make some money.
Copy !req
519. Right, that's the first thing to do.
Copy !req
520. Right. Meanwhile, I'll take
an advance on my inheritance.
Copy !req
521. Don't make any noise.
My mother's out there somewhere.
Copy !req
522. Anyone there?
Copy !req
523. Good day, ma'am!
Copy !req
524. Little wretch!
Copy !req
525. - Have you seen your mother lately?
- Yes, when I came home from school.
Copy !req
526. She makes sure
she's never home when I am.
Copy !req
527. She must be up to something.
Copy !req
528. Where's the fruit?
Copy !req
529. Take this.
Copy !req
530. Heavens, 9:30!
I'll be late to the club.
Copy !req
531. Hurry up, or we'll miss the newsreel.
Copy !req
532. Boy, I'm thirsty!
Copy !req
533. Damn! It's empty.
Copy !req
534. Your turn. Hurry up.
Copy !req
535. What did you get? Twelve?
Copy !req
536. My old man!
Copy !req
537. Help me shake the blankets
to get rid of the smoke.
Copy !req
538. That's enough.
Copy !req
539. What's this?
It's a smokehouse in here!
Copy !req
540. It's like a gambling joint!
Copy !req
541. I'm taking the cost of three cigars
out of your allowance.
Copy !req
542. What's this?
Bucephalus is not a coat rack.
Copy !req
543. He's worth a million at least.
A real work of art.
Copy !req
544. I'll only get rid of him
if I'm forced to.
Copy !req
545. Now put the lights out
and go to sleep.
Copy !req
546. Good night, Dad.
Copy !req
547. Not bad.
Copy !req
548. Oh, my gosh!
Copy !req
549. - Let me see your Michelin guide.
- A million would really do it.
Copy !req
550. It's my dad's horse.
He'd kill me for sure.
Copy !req
551. Don't be a wimp.
We could head for the beach,
Copy !req
552. set up a boat business,
and get everyone off our backs.
Copy !req
553. - We've got to decide.
- There's one in my dad's office.
Copy !req
554. Then let's get it.
Copy !req
555. We can't sell it.
They're all numbered.
Copy !req
556. But we can flog it.
My mum has flogged everything we own.
Copy !req
557. - How much?
- Ten percent.
Copy !req
558. - Okay.
- A thousand in advance.
Copy !req
559. - No, when you've got the money.
- Trusting guys, aren't you?
Copy !req
560. Give us back our machine!
Where do you think you're going?
Copy !req
561. - I thought you were down there.
- Sure you did.
Copy !req
562. Anyway, it's no go.
They want to see a receipt.
Copy !req
563. Then give it back.
Copy !req
564. - Fine, but I want 500 for my trouble.
- We don't have it.
Copy !req
565. You must have something.
Three hundred and we're even.
Copy !req
566. - We're broke.
- I don't work for nothing.
Copy !req
567. - I'll keep it as a deposit.
- The hell you will! It's ours!
Copy !req
568. - Give it back or I'll thump you.
- Hands off!
Copy !req
569. It's no more yours than mine.
Copy !req
570. There's a cop. Let's ask him.
Copy !req
571. Fine, keep the damned thing,
you little shits.
Copy !req
572. - I'm tired of carrying this!
- I had my turn.
Copy !req
573. - My dad's gonna know it was me.
- It was your idea.
Copy !req
574. - It was yours, arsehole!
- Come on!
Copy !req
575. - I don't care. I'm leaving it here.
- Are you nuts?
Copy !req
576. I've got to take it back
to the office at least.
Copy !req
577. But I'm gonna wear a hat in case
the night watchman sees me.
Copy !req
578. Come on, take it back for me.
Copy !req
579. No, it wasn't my idea.
Copy !req
580. You're a real arsehole.
At least hold it while I put on my hat.
Copy !req
581. And wait for me outside.
Copy !req
582. Well, if it isn't Doinel's son.
I must be seeing things!
Copy !req
583. Put that down.
Boy, is your daddy gonna love this!
Copy !req
584. I'll show them I know my job.
Copy !req
585. I'm warning you, don't try anything.
Copy !req
586. I don't like little brats like you.
Copy !req
587. Mr. Doinel, forgive me
for bothering you.
Copy !req
588. You better come here, sir.
Copy !req
589. Let's say it's a surprise...
but not a pleasant one.
Copy !req
590. Don't touch that hat!
Copy !req
591. It's no party I'm taking you to
this time.
Copy !req
592. The games are over. Your mother
and I will finally have some peace.
Copy !req
593. Take a good look at your pal,
Copy !req
594. 'cause you won't be
seeing him again for a while.
Copy !req
595. Maybe this'll straighten you out.
This had to end sooner or later.
Copy !req
596. If I had done this at your age,
my father would have killed me!
Copy !req
597. May we see the chief?
Copy !req
598. We've tried everything:
kindness, persuasion, punishment.
Copy !req
599. But we never beat him, mind you.
Copy !req
600. - Sometimes the good old ways -
- Of course.
Copy !req
601. But his mother and I aren't like that.
Copy !req
602. - We gave him a lot of freedom.
- Too much, perhaps.
Copy !req
603. And with both of us working -
You know how it is.
Copy !req
604. Yes, I'm a father too.
Copy !req
605. I must admit it's not always easy.
Copy !req
606. If only he'd talk to us.
Copy !req
607. But when we talk to him,
he's a thousand miles away.
Copy !req
608. You think he's listening now?
Copy !req
609. Here's how I found him
with the typewriter.
Copy !req
610. Who knows what goes on
in that head of his!
Copy !req
611. Take this boy's statement.
Copy !req
612. Vagrancy and theft.
Copy !req
613. Come with me.
Copy !req
614. What have you decided?
Copy !req
615. We can't take him back home now.
He'll just run away again.
Copy !req
616. Perhaps you could place him somewhere,
like a camp in the country?
Copy !req
617. And put him to work,
'cause he won't study anymore.
Copy !req
618. We can try the Observation Centre.
Copy !req
619. It's well organized,
and he'll learn a skill.
Copy !req
620. - It'll do him good.
- Assuming there's room, of course.
Copy !req
621. And you'd have to transfer
your parental rights.
Copy !req
622. Yes, to the juvenile justice system.
Copy !req
623. He'll appear in juvenile court tomorrow.
Copy !req
624. You or your wife must be present.
Copy !req
625. Did anyone see you enter the building?
Copy !req
626. "I hereby declare that,
having entered the premises..."
Copy !req
627. "... a typewriter."
Copy !req
628. Sign here.
Copy !req
629. Charles, he's all yours.
Copy !req
630. This way.
Copy !req
631. You take him from here.
I'm going home.
Copy !req
632. What did you do?
Copy !req
633. I ran away from home.
Copy !req
634. What about you?
Copy !req
635. Oh, you know...
Copy !req
636. Here come the girls.
Copy !req
637. I saw a police station in a film once.
It was a lot cleaner.
Copy !req
638. - I saw one that was a lot dirtier.
- I've seen more cheerful ones.
Copy !req
639. PEST CONTROL
Copy !req
640. Your chariot awaits.
Copy !req
641. Put on your jacket.
Copy !req
642. Tie, belt and shoelaces.
Empty your pockets.
Copy !req
643. Sign here.
Copy !req
644. Sign here.
Copy !req
645. We could try taking him back
if we had to,
Copy !req
646. but he'd have to change
his ways entirely.
Copy !req
647. If only you could scare some sense
into him, Your Honour.
Copy !req
648. - That's not my role.
- We can't control him.
Copy !req
649. Perhaps you exercise control
too inconsistently.
Copy !req
650. Is it true he was left home alone
for an entire weekend?
Copy !req
651. My husband belongs to a racing club.
Copy !req
652. We might have left him home alone.
Copy !req
653. Besides, he hates sports.
Copy !req
654. He prefers to hole up in a cinema
for hours, ruining his eyes.
Copy !req
655. What does your husband think?
It's his son, after all.
Copy !req
656. Well, no, he isn't.
Copy !req
657. He married me when the boy was small.
Copy !req
658. He deserves credit for that.
Copy !req
659. - I shouldn't have told you that.
- On the contrary.
Copy !req
660. I think we'd best put the boy
in an observation centre.
Copy !req
661. Could it be near the seashore,
Your Honour?
Copy !req
662. It's not a vacation resort, ma'am.
Copy !req
663. I'll do my best,
depending on what's available.
Copy !req
664. He'll stay there a few months
while I study his case.
Copy !req
665. Then we'll make a decision.
Copy !req
666. Believe me, this change
can only do him good.
Copy !req
667. Goodbye, Your Honour.
Copy !req
668. OBSERVATION CENTRE
FOR DELINQUENT YOUTHS
Copy !req
669. - Why are you in here?
- Oh, you know. What about you?
Copy !req
670. - I messed up.
- I stole a typewriter.
Copy !req
671. A typewriter?
That wasn't too smart.
Copy !req
672. No wonder you got caught.
They all have serial numbers.
Copy !req
673. See that big guy over there?
He stole tires off cars.
Copy !req
674. Whenever I'd cry,
Copy !req
675. my father would imitate me
on his violin, just to make fun of me.
Copy !req
676. But one day I snapped
and just knocked him out cold.
Copy !req
677. Good for you. If my old man
did that to me, I'd kill him.
Copy !req
678. - Look!
- Who's that guy?
Copy !req
679. He escaped a week ago,
but they got him.
Copy !req
680. Around here, to escape is bad enough,
but to get caught is worse.
Copy !req
681. What are you doing there?
Two lines, on the double!
Copy !req
682. What are you up to there?
Now march!
Copy !req
683. Show me your bread.
Copy !req
684. Good.
Copy !req
685. I see you started already.
Copy !req
686. Bring your bread and plate over here.
Copy !req
687. Put them down.
Copy !req
688. Right hand or left?
Copy !req
689. Left, sir.
Copy !req
690. No talking!
Copy !req
691. This is for you.
Copy !req
692. I bet they'd catch you, and I won.
Copy !req
693. So what? I lived it up for five days,
Copy !req
694. and I'm ready to try it again
first chance I get.
Copy !req
695. What are you doing there?
Copy !req
696. Kanayan, your turn
to see the psychologist.
Copy !req
697. If she drops her pen, pick it up,
Copy !req
698. but don't look at her legs,
or else it goes in your file.
Copy !req
699. What file?
Copy !req
700. You know, what everyone thinks of you:
the judge, the doctor,
Copy !req
701. even your neighbours back home.
Copy !req
702. I know mine by heart.
Copy !req
703. It says I'm unstable,
with perverted tendencies.
Copy !req
704. What if I talk nonsense
just to confuse them?
Copy !req
705. Then it's the funny farm
or boot camp.
Copy !req
706. Why did you return the typewriter?
Copy !req
707. Well, since I couldn't sell it
or anything, I got scared.
Copy !req
708. I don't know why I returned it.
Just 'cause.
Copy !req
709. It seems you stole 10, 000 francs
from your grandmother.
Copy !req
710. She had invited me for her birthday.
Copy !req
711. I thought since she's old and doesn't
eat much, she doesn't need the money.
Copy !req
712. She was going to die soon.
Copy !req
713. So, since I knew where she kept
her dough, I swiped some.
Copy !req
714. I knew she wouldn't notice,
and she didn't.
Copy !req
715. She gave me a nice book that day.
Copy !req
716. But my mother,
she used to go through my pockets.
Copy !req
717. I left my trousers on the bed that night,
Copy !req
718. and she must have found the money in
my pocket, 'cause next day it was gone.
Copy !req
719. Later, she mentioned it and
I had to confess where I got it.
Copy !req
720. And then she took the nice book away
my grandmother gave me.
Copy !req
721. One day I asked for it back,
Copy !req
722. and I found out she'd sold it.
Copy !req
723. Your parents say you're always lying.
Copy !req
724. Oh, I lie now and then, I suppose.
Copy !req
725. Sometimes I'd tell them the truth
and they still wouldn't believe me,
Copy !req
726. so I prefer to lie.
Copy !req
727. Why don't you like your mother?
Copy !req
728. Well, first she sent me
to live with a wet nurse.
Copy !req
729. Then, when they had no more money,
they sent me to my grandmother.
Copy !req
730. But she got old and
couldn't take care of me anymore,
Copy !req
731. so, when I was eight,
I went back to live with my parents.
Copy !req
732. I could tell my mother didn't like me.
Copy !req
733. She was always yelling at me
for no reason.
Copy !req
734. There were fights at home,
Copy !req
735. and I overheard
Copy !req
736. that my mother had me
before she was married.
Copy !req
737. And she had a fight
with my grandmother once.
Copy !req
738. That's when I found out that
she had wanted to have an abortion.
Copy !req
739. It's thanks to my grandmother
that I was born.
Copy !req
740. Have you ever slept with a girl?
Copy !req
741. No, but some friends of mine have.
Copy !req
742. They told me where
the hookers hang out.
Copy !req
743. So I went and tried
to pick up some girls,
Copy !req
744. but they all yelled at me
so I got scared and I left.
Copy !req
745. I went back a couple times.
Copy !req
746. Once a man saw me and asked me
what I was doing there.
Copy !req
747. He was North African.
So I told him.
Copy !req
748. I guess he knew a lot of women,
and he said he knew one
Copy !req
749. who liked guys my age.
Copy !req
750. So he took me to her hotel,
Copy !req
751. only she wasn't there that day.
Copy !req
752. We waited an hour or two,
but she didn't show up, so I left.
Copy !req
753. René!
Copy !req
754. Don't look for your father.
I came alone.
Copy !req
755. Is it that way?
Copy !req
756. Your letter to your father
hurt him very much.
Copy !req
757. You were naïve to think
he wouldn't show it to me.
Copy !req
758. In spite of appearances,
we're a devoted couple,
Copy !req
759. and it wasn't smart to remind him
of some unhappy days I went through.
Copy !req
760. Thanks to him, you have a name.
Copy !req
761. We were ready to take you back,
Copy !req
762. but the neighbours' gossip
put an end to that.
Copy !req
763. You must have told
everyone in the neighbourhood!
Copy !req
764. I never said a word, Mum.
Copy !req
765. But I'm used to it. I've been
criticised by imbeciles all my life.
Copy !req
766. Anyway, that's all I had to tell you.
Copy !req
767. And don't go crying to your father.
Copy !req
768. He said to let you know he's washed
his hands of you completely.
Copy !req
769. All you're good for now is
reform school or a lab our centre.
Copy !req
770. You wanted to earn your living?
Copy !req
771. Now we'll see how you like it.
Copy !req
772. THE END
