I've known so many boys.

173
00:16:18,468 --> 00:16:22,013
- When did you come here?
- In '64.

174
00:16:22,055 --> 00:16:24,808
You'll have heard the story.

175
00:16:24,891 --> 00:16:27,060
No, I don't think so.

176
00:16:27,143 --> 00:16:28,937
I'm amazed. Sit down.

177
00:16:30,647 --> 00:16:33,650
My husband worked for Ladybird Insurance.

178
00:16:33,733 --> 00:16:37,153
It's no secret that he slept
with his secretary.

179
00:16:38,738 --> 00:16:41,157
They used every hotel around.

180
00:16:41,241 --> 00:16:42,909
Not the grotty ones, either.

181
00:16:42,992 --> 00:16:46,287
The bimbo liked spreading her legs,

182
00:16:46,329 --> 00:16:47,830
but only on satin.

183
00:16:47,914 --> 00:16:50,875
So my husband swiped from the till.

184
00:16:50,917 --> 00:16:53,961
A little at first, then 50 million.

185
00:16:54,003 --> 00:16:57,298
Off they flew to South America.

186
00:16:59,592 --> 00:17:00,593
Drink up.

187
00:17:02,678 --> 00:17:05,681
On January 20th 1970,

188
00:17:05,765 --> 00:17:08,142
my doorbell rang.

189
00:17:08,184 --> 00:17:13,272
«Your husband's been killed
in a car crash in South America.»

190
00:17:14,357 --> 00:17:16,442
My life stopped there.

191
00:17:16,526 --> 00:17:19,654
And Black Lion died of heartbreak.

192
00:17:19,695 --> 00:17:22,531
Poor creature.

193
00:17:25,117 --> 00:17:27,161
See how lovingly

194
00:17:27,203 --> 00:17:29,246
he still stares at his master?

195
00:17:30,289 --> 00:17:31,332
One day

196
00:17:31,374 --> 00:17:32,875
I'll read you his letters.

197
00:17:32,958 --> 00:17:34,669
No, don't go!

198
00:17:34,710 --> 00:17:37,171
You can spare five minutes.

199
00:17:37,213 --> 00:17:38,881
He wrote this

200
00:17:38,964 --> 00:17:40,591
from the barracks.

201
00:17:43,219 --> 00:17:44,678
«Darling Mado.» That's me.

202
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,388
I'm called Madeleine.

203
00:17:46,472 --> 00:17:49,433
«I can't sleep, can't eat,»

204
00:17:49,475 --> 00:17:54,271
«knowing that my only reason
to live is far away in Paris.»

205
00:17:54,313 --> 00:17:56,732
«I won't see her until a fortnight
on Friday,»

206
00:17:56,815 --> 00:18:02,571
«when my sweet little weasel
appears at the station»

207
00:18:02,655 --> 00:18:05,699
«in her strappy blue dress.»

208
00:18:05,741 --> 00:18:09,787
In brackets: «The one you think
too see-through.»

209
00:18:18,337 --> 00:18:20,672
Has anyone ever written to you like that?

210
00:18:20,756 --> 00:18:24,802
No. I'm nobody's little weasel.

211
00:18:24,843 --> 00:18:27,429
My name's Madeleine Walace.

212
00:18:27,471 --> 00:18:30,557
Madeleine, like Mary Magdalene.

213
00:18:30,599 --> 00:18:34,102
She wept, right? And Walace
as Wallace Fountains.

214
00:18:34,186 --> 00:18:38,357
Talk about being born to cry!

215
00:18:41,944 --> 00:18:43,779
About your question...

216
00:18:43,862 --> 00:18:49,284
Ask Collignon, the grocer.
He's lived here all his life.

217
00:18:49,869 --> 00:18:53,000
Hello, Amélie-melo!
"[Joke:Add «mélo» to Amélie
to mean «méli-mélo» as mishmash]"

218
00:18:53,010 --> 00:18:55,313
A fig and three hazelnuts, as usual?

219
00:18:55,415 --> 00:18:58,168
Who lived in my flat in the '50s?

220
00:18:58,210 --> 00:19:02,214
- What was their name?
- You've got me there, dear.

221
00:19:02,297 --> 00:19:06,218
In 1950, I was two.
The mental age of this cretin.

222
00:19:06,301 --> 00:19:07,886
"The «cretin» is Lucien."

223
00:19:07,969 --> 00:19:11,973
"He's no genius, but Amélie likes him.
She likes the way"

224
00:19:12,015 --> 00:19:15,352
"he handles each witloof
like a precious object"

225
00:19:15,393 --> 00:19:18,605
"to be treated with care.
It's his way of showing"

226
00:19:18,647 --> 00:19:20,065
"his love of good work."

227
00:19:20,106 --> 00:19:21,149
Look at him!

228
00:19:21,232 --> 00:19:25,653
Like he's nursing a baby bird
that's fallen out of its nest!

229
00:19:25,737 --> 00:19:28,405
Don't ask him for currants!

230
00:19:28,406 --> 00:19:30,033
You'd be here till Monday!

231
00:19:31,326 --> 00:19:33,244
Get moving, spastic!

232
00:19:33,328 --> 00:19:35,330
She hasn't got all day.

233
00:19:38,166 --> 00:19:40,376
Here.

234
00:19:40,418 --> 00:19:44,130
Go and see my mother.
She has the memory of an elephant.

235
00:19:44,172 --> 00:19:47,441
Elephant Mum!
[sea elephant: Mum and sea have
the same pronunciation in French (Joke)]

236
00:19:47,675 --> 00:19:49,135
Thank you.

237
00:20:07,653 --> 00:20:08,863
Bredoteau.

238
00:20:10,490 --> 00:20:11,491
Sorry?

239
00:20:11,532 --> 00:20:13,326
It's the name you're after.

240
00:20:13,367 --> 00:20:17,788
But if it's me that says so,
it won't count. I'm senile.

241
00:20:17,872 --> 00:20:19,790
Ignore him. He's senile.

242
00:20:20,833 --> 00:20:22,919
See what he's done to my laurel?

243
00:20:27,048 --> 00:20:29,717
His old job was punching métro tickets.

244
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:34,972
For three months now,
he's got up every night to punch holes

245
00:20:35,056 --> 00:20:38,517
- in my laurels!
- I'd have preferred lilacs. Such is life!

246
00:20:38,559 --> 00:20:43,022
- We all need a way to relax.
- I skim stones.

247
00:20:43,105 --> 00:20:47,234
- You do?
- I'll find it. Don't worry.

248
00:20:47,318 --> 00:20:50,237
- I file everything.
- Like what?

249
00:20:50,321 --> 00:20:55,075
Your son's nearly 50
and I'm still doing his book-keeping.

250
00:20:55,159 --> 00:20:59,830
You were still squeezing his toothpaste
at 15, so it follows.

251
00:20:59,914 --> 00:21:02,249
Right. Camus...

252
00:21:02,291 --> 00:21:06,295
2nd floor on the right. Brossard...
Brossard was on staircase B.

253
00:21:06,337 --> 00:21:07,922
Got it!

254
00:21:08,005 --> 00:21:10,090
Bredoteau, 5th floor on the right.

255
00:21:10,132 --> 00:21:12,885
They were from the Pas de Calais.

256
00:21:12,926 --> 00:21:15,554
Bredoteau. What more can I say?

257
00:22:20,410 --> 00:22:23,997
"Groping under the photo booth
is Nino Quincampoix."

258
00:22:28,501 --> 00:22:33,131
"When Amélie lacked playmates,
Nino had too many."

259
00:22:44,267 --> 00:22:49,339
"Five miles apart, one dreamed
of having a sister, the other a brother"

260
00:22:49,439 --> 00:22:51,441
"to spend all their time with."

261
00:23:13,129 --> 00:23:14,130
Hi, Dad.

262
00:23:15,798 --> 00:23:17,133
A new friend?

263
00:23:18,217 --> 00:23:20,386
No, I've had him for years.

264
00:23:20,470 --> 00:23:24,348
Your mother hated him,
so he lived in the tool shed.

265
00:23:24,390 --> 00:23:27,393
There. Let's reconcile them.

266
00:23:30,813 --> 00:23:32,899
There. Not bad, eh?

267
00:23:36,819 --> 00:23:42,241
Dad, if you found a precious relic
from your childhood,

268
00:23:42,325 --> 00:23:46,162
how would it make you feel?
Happy? Sad? Nostalgic? What?

269
00:23:47,246 --> 00:23:49,749
I didn't have this gnome
when I was a child.

270
00:23:49,832 --> 00:23:53,419
He was a retirement gift
from my old regiment.

271
00:23:53,502 --> 00:23:57,923
No, I mean something you hid
like a secret treasure.

272
00:23:59,508 --> 00:24:01,552
I should varnish him before autumn.

273
00:24:05,514 --> 00:24:08,100
I'll make some tea. Do you want some?

274
00:24:08,183 --> 00:24:10,227
Breathe in. Hold still.

275
00:24:12,354 --> 00:24:14,023
Better now?

276
00:24:14,106 --> 00:24:15,941
Shut the door!

277
00:24:16,025 --> 00:24:18,027
There's a howling gale.

278
00:24:18,110 --> 00:24:20,070
It's hardly Siberia.

279
00:24:20,112 --> 00:24:22,698
I can see you're not allergic

280
00:24:22,781 --> 00:24:27,411
to car fumes.
I almost coughed up my pleura last night.

281
00:24:27,453 --> 00:24:28,954
Coughed up a pleura? Sure.

282
00:24:29,037 --> 00:24:32,583
- What's on the menu today, Suzanne?
- «Endives au gratin».

283
00:24:32,624 --> 00:24:35,085
They'll have you on your knees,
you'll see.

284
00:24:35,127 --> 00:24:36,336
They're good, then?

285
00:24:36,378 --> 00:24:38,589
- Depends where.
- If it's at the toilet...

286
00:24:38,630 --> 00:24:39,923
Not good!

287
00:24:45,470 --> 00:24:49,433
12:15, laughs orgasmically
to attract alpha male.

288
00:24:49,474 --> 00:24:52,394
He's going to drive me berserk!

289
00:24:52,477 --> 00:24:56,189
Can't he give up?
There are plenty of other bars.

290
00:24:56,231 --> 00:24:58,191
Goodbye.

291
00:24:58,233 --> 00:24:59,484
Suzanne.

292
00:24:59,568 --> 00:25:01,445
- Suzanne.
- Yes.

293
00:25:01,486 --> 00:25:04,239
«au gratin» means white sauce, right?

294
00:25:04,322 --> 00:25:05,907
Yes, why?

295
00:25:05,991 --> 00:25:10,996
I can't stomach it.
Like you and horse meat.

296
00:25:11,079 --> 00:25:13,790
It's not my stomach, it's my memory.

297
00:25:14,833 --> 00:25:16,626
I'd rather cook human flesh.

298
00:25:16,668 --> 00:25:18,712
You're kidding!

299
00:25:29,848 --> 00:25:34,227
Suzanne, would you mind
if I left early today?

300
00:25:34,269 --> 00:25:36,312
What's his name?

301
00:25:36,354 --> 00:25:38,440
Dominique Bredoteau.

302
00:25:44,028 --> 00:25:45,822
Hello.

303
00:25:46,948 --> 00:25:48,867
Are you Dominique Bredoteau?

304
00:25:48,950 --> 00:25:50,285
That's me.

305
00:25:50,368 --> 00:25:52,328
Why?

306
00:25:52,370 --> 00:25:54,455
It's about...

307
00:25:55,540 --> 00:25:56,749
...the petition.

308
00:25:56,791 --> 00:25:58,209
Petition?

309
00:25:58,293 --> 00:26:03,006
Yes. The petition to...

310
00:26:04,465 --> 00:26:06,342
...to canonize Lady Di.

311
00:26:06,384 --> 00:26:08,052
No, thanks.

312
00:26:08,136 --> 00:26:09,137
No.

313
00:26:16,978 --> 00:26:19,522
"Ladies and gentlemen,
sorry to bother you..."

314
00:26:24,485 --> 00:26:26,654
- Yes?
- Hello.

315
00:26:26,737 --> 00:26:30,366
I'm looking for Dominique Bredoteau
for the European census.

316
00:26:31,576 --> 00:26:33,578
Come up. Third floor.

317
00:26:43,921 --> 00:26:44,964
Hello, kitten.

318
00:26:48,342 --> 00:26:49,552
Earl Grey?

319
00:26:49,593 --> 00:26:51,679
Jasmine?

320
00:26:51,762 --> 00:26:54,765
What will you have?

321
00:26:58,686 --> 00:27:00,104
I'm working.

322
00:27:08,946 --> 00:27:11,782
"There. I'm coming."

323
00:27:11,866 --> 00:27:16,203
Do you know where I can find
Dominique Bredoteau?

324
00:27:16,287 --> 00:27:18,539
Oh, my poor dear!

325
00:27:19,623 --> 00:27:20,791
You just missed him.

326
00:27:21,875 --> 00:27:24,586
Look, there he goes now.

327
00:27:34,054 --> 00:27:35,097
Bre-to-deau.

328
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,016
Not Bre-do-teau.

329
00:27:38,058 --> 00:27:39,935
You need

330
00:27:39,977 --> 00:27:43,480
a glass of mulled wine.

331
00:27:43,564 --> 00:27:45,357
Come in.

332
00:27:45,399 --> 00:27:46,650
Come on in.

333
00:27:49,653 --> 00:27:54,283
I've lived here for five years.
This is the first time we've met.

334
00:27:54,324 --> 00:27:57,119
I never go out on the landing.

335
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:01,164
I'm fussy about who I meet.

336
00:28:01,248 --> 00:28:02,791
They're all creeps anyway.

337
00:28:05,002 --> 00:28:07,587
Come in. Here.

338
00:28:07,671 --> 00:28:09,005
Come in.

339
00:28:10,090 --> 00:28:12,634
They call me the Glass Man,

340
00:28:12,676 --> 00:28:16,263
but my name is Raymond Dufayel.

341
00:28:17,430 --> 00:28:21,685
- Amélie Poulain. I'm a waitress at...
- The Two Windmills. I know.

342
00:28:22,769 --> 00:28:27,857
And you've come back empty-handed
from your search for Bretodeau.

343
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,612
Because it's not «do», it's «to».

344
00:28:32,696 --> 00:28:35,198
- Like «Toto».
- Thank you.

345
00:28:39,035 --> 00:28:40,704
I love that painting.

346
00:28:40,787 --> 00:28:43,456
It's the «Luncheon Of The Boating Party».

347
00:28:45,208 --> 00:28:46,209
By Renoir.

348
00:28:52,048 --> 00:28:56,010
I've painted one each year
for twenty years.

349
00:28:57,637 --> 00:29:00,348
The hardest part is the looks.

350
00:29:00,390 --> 00:29:06,479
I sometimes feel they deliberately change
their mood as soon as my back's turned.

351
00:29:06,563 --> 00:29:08,189
They look quite happy there.

352
00:29:08,231 --> 00:29:10,525
They should be.

353
00:29:10,566 --> 00:29:12,652
This year they had hare with morels.

354
00:29:13,903 --> 00:29:17,490
And waffles with jam for the children.

355
00:29:17,573 --> 00:29:23,037
Now, what have I done
with that piece of paper?

356
00:29:25,164 --> 00:29:30,545
Ah, you've noticed my video camera
at the window.

357
00:29:30,586 --> 00:29:33,256
It's a gift from my sister-in-law.

358
00:29:33,339 --> 00:29:36,175
I put it there

359
00:29:36,259 --> 00:29:39,136
so I don't need to wind up my clocks.

360
00:29:40,596 --> 00:29:43,182
After all these years,

361
00:29:43,266 --> 00:29:47,561
the only person I still can't capture

362
00:29:47,603 --> 00:29:49,897
is the girl with the glass of water.

363
00:29:49,939 --> 00:29:51,440
She's in the middle,

364
00:29:51,524 --> 00:29:54,318
yet she's on the outside.

365
00:29:55,945 --> 00:29:58,531
Maybe she's just different
from the others.

366
00:29:59,949 --> 00:30:01,367
In what way?

367
00:30:03,035 --> 00:30:04,453
I don't know.

368
00:30:04,537 --> 00:30:09,750
When she was little, she can't
have played much with other children.

369
00:30:11,544 --> 00:30:13,838
Maybe never.

370
00:30:17,550 --> 00:30:18,926
Here.

371
00:30:18,968 --> 00:30:22,930
Dominique Bretodeau, 27 Rue Mouffetard.

372
00:30:24,223 --> 00:30:25,516
It's for you.

373
00:30:26,725 --> 00:30:31,730
"Every Tuesday morning,
Dominique Bretodeau goes to buy a chicken."

374
00:30:31,814 --> 00:30:34,900
"He usually roasts it
and has it with «sauté» potatoes."

375
00:30:34,983 --> 00:30:38,237
"After carving the legs,
the breast and the wings,"

376
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:42,324
"he loves picking the hot carcass
with his fingers,"

377
00:30:42,408 --> 00:30:44,034
"starting with the oysters."

378
00:30:47,246 --> 00:30:51,041
"But not today.
Bretodeau won't buy a chicken."

379
00:30:51,083 --> 00:30:52,543
"He'll go no further"

380
00:30:52,584 --> 00:30:54,253
"than this phone booth here."

381
00:32:04,656 --> 00:32:07,951
"In a flash, it all came back to him."

382
00:32:07,992 --> 00:32:11,204
"Federico Bahamontes
winning the «Tour de France» in '59."

383
00:32:14,249 --> 00:32:16,292
"Aunt Josette's slips."

384
00:32:18,836 --> 00:32:21,923
"And most of all, that tragic day."

385
00:32:23,341 --> 00:32:26,928
"That tragic day when he won
all the marbles at break time."

386
00:32:35,770 --> 00:32:36,813
Bretodeau!

387
00:32:40,024 --> 00:32:41,150
Bretodeau!

388
00:32:48,532 --> 00:32:50,910
The pinch, Bretodeau!

389
00:32:50,952 --> 00:32:53,037
Do you understand, Bretodeau?

390
00:33:00,795 --> 00:33:02,129
Cognac, please.

391
00:33:07,551 --> 00:33:10,221
It's amazing, what just happened to me.

392
00:33:10,304 --> 00:33:14,475
It must be my guardian angel.
It's the only explanation.

393
00:33:14,558 --> 00:33:16,977
It was as if the phone booth
was calling me.

394
00:33:17,061 --> 00:33:19,438
It rang and rang.

395
00:33:21,982 --> 00:33:25,027
Same here. The microwave's calling me.

396
00:33:27,321 --> 00:33:29,365
I'll have another cognac.

397
00:33:38,082 --> 00:33:39,500
Life's strange.

398
00:33:42,002 --> 00:33:46,423
To a kid, time always drags.
Suddenly you're 50.

399
00:33:48,592 --> 00:33:50,677
All that's left of your childhood

400
00:33:50,761 --> 00:33:52,971
fits in a little box,

401
00:33:53,013 --> 00:33:54,473
a little rusty box.

402
00:33:57,935 --> 00:34:00,437
Have you got kids, miss?

403
00:34:05,609 --> 00:34:08,195
I have a daughter.
She must be about your age.

404
00:34:11,948 --> 00:34:13,950
We haven't spoken for years.

405
00:34:15,035 --> 00:34:17,954
I heard she had a child, a boy.

406
00:34:19,122 --> 00:34:20,165
His name is Lucas.

407
00:34:26,797 --> 00:34:31,301
I think it's time I looked them up
before I'm in a box myself.

408
00:34:32,636 --> 00:34:34,054
Don't you think?

409
00:34:41,645 --> 00:34:46,024
"Amélie suddenly has a strange feeling
of complete harmony."

410
00:34:46,066 --> 00:34:49,752
"It's a perfect moment.
Soft light, a scent in the air,"

411
00:34:49,786 --> 00:34:52,063
"the quiet murmur of the city,"

412
00:34:53,406 --> 00:34:56,576
"She breathes deeply.
Life seems so simple and clear."

413
00:34:56,659 --> 00:35:01,414
"A surge of love, an urge to help
mankind suddenly engulfs her."

414
00:35:13,843 --> 00:35:16,429
Let me help you. Step down.

415
00:35:16,512 --> 00:35:19,515
Off we go!
We just passed the drum major's widow!

416
00:35:19,599 --> 00:35:22,560
She's worn his coat since the day he died.
Careful.

417
00:35:22,602 --> 00:35:25,730
The horse's head on the butcher's
has lost an ear.

418
00:35:25,772 --> 00:35:29,317
That's the florist laughing.
He has crinkly eyes.

419
00:35:29,359 --> 00:35:32,445
In the bakery window there are lollipops!

420
00:35:32,528 --> 00:35:34,280
Mmm. Smell that.

421
00:35:34,364 --> 00:35:36,574
They're giving out melon slices.

422
00:35:38,242 --> 00:35:40,703
Sugarplum ice cream!

423
00:35:40,787 --> 00:35:43,455
We're passing the pork butcher.

424
00:35:43,456 --> 00:35:45,875
Ham, 79 francs. Spareribs, 45!

425
00:35:45,958 --> 00:35:50,755
Now the cheese shop.
Picodons are 12.90, cabecous 23.50.

426
00:35:50,796 --> 00:35:55,384
At the butcher's a baby's watching a dog
that's watching the chickens roasting.

427
00:35:55,468 --> 00:35:58,846
Now we're at the newspaper kiosk
by the métro.

428
00:35:58,888 --> 00:36:00,973
I'll leave you here. Bye.

429
00:36:52,441 --> 00:36:54,735
«She can't relate to other people.»

430
00:36:56,945 --> 00:36:59,823
«She was always a lonely child.»

431
00:37:02,826 --> 00:37:05,746
"On a sparkling evening in July,"

432
00:37:05,787 --> 00:37:08,665
"while on the beaches holidaymakers"

433
00:37:08,707 --> 00:37:11,293
"relax in the new-found sun,"

434
00:37:11,376 --> 00:37:13,879
"and in Paris the sweltering crowds"

435
00:37:13,962 --> 00:37:16,298
"gaze at the first bursts"

436
00:37:16,381 --> 00:37:19,050
"of the traditional fireworks,
Amélie Poulain,"

437
00:37:19,051 --> 00:37:22,804
"godmother of outcasts,"

438
00:37:22,888 --> 00:37:25,348
"Madonna of the unloved,"

439
00:37:25,390 --> 00:37:27,559
"finally succumbs to exhaustion."

440
00:37:27,642 --> 00:37:32,355
"In Paris' grief-stricken streets,"

441
00:37:32,397 --> 00:37:35,233
"a vast throng of mourners"

442
00:37:35,317 --> 00:37:38,403
"line her funeral route in silence"

443
00:37:38,487 --> 00:37:42,908
"with the measureless sorrow
of newly orphaned children."

444
00:37:43,950 --> 00:37:46,077
"What a strange destiny for one"

445
00:37:46,161 --> 00:37:47,537
"who gave her all,"

446
00:37:47,579 --> 00:37:53,251
"yet took such joy
in life's simple pleasures."

447
00:37:53,293 --> 00:37:56,921
"Like Don Quixote, she pitted herself"

448
00:37:56,963 --> 00:38:00,133
"against the grinding windmill
of all life's miseries."

449
00:38:12,562 --> 00:38:14,647
"It was a losing battle"

450
00:38:14,689 --> 00:38:16,691
"that claimed her life too soon."

451
00:38:16,733 --> 00:38:19,027
"At barely 23, Amélie Poulain"

452
00:38:19,110 --> 00:38:22,697
"let her young, tired body merge"

453
00:38:22,780 --> 00:38:26,159
"with the ebb and flow of universal woe."

454
00:38:26,242 --> 00:38:32,457
"As she went, she felt a stab of regret
for letting her father die"

455
00:38:32,540 --> 00:38:36,085
"without trying to give his stifled life"

456
00:38:36,169 --> 00:38:40,381
"the breath of air she had given"

457
00:38:40,465 --> 00:38:42,508
"to so many others."

458
00:40:58,768 --> 00:40:59,811
"Wait!"

459
00:41:04,858 --> 00:41:06,651
"Wait!"

460
00:41:09,529 --> 00:41:10,572
"Wait..."

461
00:41:11,948 --> 00:41:12,991
"Wait, wait!"

462
00:41:59,579 --> 00:42:04,959
"Pages full of dud ID photos
torn up and discarded by their owners,"

463
00:42:05,001 --> 00:42:08,671
"carefully reassembled by some oddball."

464
00:42:09,755 --> 00:42:11,799
"What a family album!"

465
00:42:15,928 --> 00:42:17,555
A pack of «Gauloises».

466
00:42:17,596 --> 00:42:21,684
Just a second. It's so smoky in here.
Can you tell me where they are?

467
00:42:21,767 --> 00:42:24,395
- I can't see a thing.
- More to the left.

468
00:42:24,437 --> 00:42:26,105
- There?
- A bit more. There.

469
00:42:28,941 --> 00:42:31,277
Thank you. You need change.

470
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,737
Forget it.

471
00:42:33,779 --> 00:42:35,781
- Yes?
- A «mauresque».

472
00:42:35,865 --> 00:42:38,325
A «mauresque» for the young man.

473
00:42:38,367 --> 00:42:41,787
One «Kir aligoté», one mauresque,
and two mint sodas.

474
00:42:41,871 --> 00:42:45,124
Was that prenuptial or
post-coital smooching?

475
00:42:45,207 --> 00:42:47,251
Is your bullshit congenital?

476
00:42:49,295 --> 00:42:51,338
- Prenuptial.
- Don't worry.

477
00:42:51,380 --> 00:42:53,465
You'll find Mr. Right one day.

478
00:42:54,633 --> 00:42:57,886
All women want to sleep
on a man's shoulder. All of them.

479
00:42:57,970 --> 00:43:02,766
All men snore after a few drinks,
and I have a musical ear.

480
00:43:02,808 --> 00:43:06,562
I had an operation on my nasal cavities.

481
00:43:06,603 --> 00:43:08,689
I see you're a born romantic.

482
00:43:10,482 --> 00:43:13,235
I see you've never known true love.

483
00:43:14,611 --> 00:43:17,155
I did. It shortened my leg.

484
00:43:18,657 --> 00:43:23,161
- I thought you fell off a horse.
- I did.

485
00:43:23,245 --> 00:43:25,706
I was in love with a trapeze artist.

486
00:43:25,747 --> 00:43:29,042
I should have known.
They always drop you at the last minute.

487
00:43:29,084 --> 00:43:31,795
He dropped me just before my act.

488
00:43:33,922 --> 00:43:37,509
It floored me. And the horse.

489
00:43:37,592 --> 00:43:40,595
With me under it.

490
00:43:42,514 --> 00:43:44,891
The «mauresque»?

491
00:43:44,933 --> 00:43:47,853
Still, true love does exist.

492
00:43:47,936 --> 00:43:51,857
I'm not saying it doesn't.
After 30 years behind this bar,

493
00:43:51,940 --> 00:43:55,569
I'm an expert.
I can even give you the recipe.

494
00:43:57,946 --> 00:44:00,657
Take two regulars.

495
00:44:00,699 --> 00:44:03,994
Let each think the other fancies them.
Leave it to simmer.

496
00:44:04,077 --> 00:44:05,954
It never fails.

497
00:44:14,879 --> 00:44:16,089
Excuse me!

498
00:44:16,131 --> 00:44:17,882
Excuse me.

499
00:44:17,966 --> 00:44:19,717
- I've had enough.
- I'll go.

500
00:44:23,429 --> 00:44:25,473
Haven't you hurt enough people?

501
00:44:29,310 --> 00:44:30,937
Gina can defend herself.

502
00:44:30,979 --> 00:44:34,232
I don't mean Gina. I mean Georgette.

503
00:44:37,485 --> 00:44:38,486
Georgette?

504
00:44:38,569 --> 00:44:41,614
Open your eyes! She craves your attention

505
00:44:41,656 --> 00:44:43,449
but you only have eyes for Gina.

506
00:44:45,702 --> 00:44:49,038
Poor girl! The things she does

507
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,165
to catch your eye!

508
00:44:53,751 --> 00:44:55,795
You really must be blind.

509
00:45:04,470 --> 00:45:06,556
I'm off on a date. Bye!

510
00:45:06,639 --> 00:45:08,683
Goodbye.

511
00:45:11,018 --> 00:45:13,354
Whoever her new one is,

512
00:45:13,437 --> 00:45:16,983
he can't be worse
than that nut with his tape recorder.

513
00:45:18,192 --> 00:45:20,111
Joseph's not so nutty.

514
00:45:21,195 --> 00:45:22,905
He's just in pain.

515
00:45:22,947 --> 00:45:25,950
Come off it, Amélie.
They split up two months ago.

516
00:45:26,033 --> 00:45:29,286
To keep on coming here every day,
he must be a masochist.

517
00:45:29,370 --> 00:45:32,373
Don't say you haven't noticed.

518
00:45:34,125 --> 00:45:35,292
Noticed what?

519
00:45:35,376 --> 00:45:38,212
He always sits here, right?

520

522
00:45:42,299 --> 00:45:43,509
Sit down, Georgette.

523
00:45:45,886 --> 00:45:48,931

- My cigarette counter.

524
00:45:49,974 --> 00:45:52,184
And nothing's missing?

525
00:45:52,226 --> 00:45:53,269
No.

Good night.

Would it be less sad
if she were old and ugly?

535
00:46:48,949 --> 00:46:51,159
Of course. Look at Mother Teresa.

537

No, he's after somebody else now.

- Yes.

539
00:47:02,379 --> 00:47:04,756
Funny about this glacier.

00:47:09,886 --> 00:47:11,096
No.

Not Suzanne.

Yes.

- Look. There he is again.
- How strange.

547
00:47:26,152 --> 00:47:29,489
- And here.
- Him again.

554
00:47:45,338 --> 00:47:46,673
It's very odd.

555
00:47:46,756 --> 00:47:51,678
Why keep taking your picture all over town
only to throw them away?

556
00:47:51,761 --> 00:47:54,555
Good ones, too.

557
00:47:54,597 --> 00:47:57,475
It's like a sort of ritual.

558
00:47:57,517 --> 00:47:59,727
Maybe he's so terrified

560

Dead?

562
00:48:08,611 --> 00:48:11,447
Yes. He's scared of being forgotten.

563
00:48:11,531 --> 00:48:15,701
So he uses the photo booths
to remind people what he looks like.

564
00:48:15,785 --> 00:48:20,164
Like faxing his portrait
from the afterlife.

A dead man who's scared
of being forgotten.

566

At least these guys here have made it.

because she's thinking about someone.

572
00:48:45,397 --> 00:48:46,440
No.

573
00:48:46,482 --> 00:48:49,193
More likely a boy she saw somewhere,

574
00:48:49,235 --> 00:48:52,655
and felt an affinity with.

575
00:48:52,738 --> 00:48:58,869
You mean, she'd rather imagine herself
relating to someone who's absent

576
00:48:58,911 --> 00:49:03,624
than build relationships
with those around her?

577
00:49:05,918 --> 00:49:07,211
No.

578
00:49:07,252 --> 00:49:11,423
Maybe she tries hard
to fix other people's messy lives.

579
00:49:11,507 --> 00:49:13,425
What about her?

580
00:49:13,509 --> 00:49:16,428

700
01:02:28,270 --> 01:02:30,856
All courtesy of Mr. Collignon.

701
01:02:33,692 --> 01:02:36,695
«Mr. Collignon?» Lucien...

702
01:02:36,778 --> 01:02:39,531
Sorry, Mr. Dufayel. It just slipped out.

703
01:02:39,614 --> 01:02:41,741
Practice, Lucien!

704
01:02:41,783 --> 01:02:43,535
Practice!

705
01:02:43,618 --> 01:02:45,453
Repeat after me.

706
01:02:45,537 --> 01:02:47,664
Collignon, down the john.

707
01:02:49,708 --> 01:02:52,460
- Col... Collignon, down the john.
- That's it.

708
01:02:52,544 --> 01:02:55,213
Your turn now. Go on. Collignon...

709
01:02:58,633 --> 01:03:00,802
Collignon, big moron!

710
01:03:00,885 --> 01:03:03,555
See? You can do it when you want to!

711
01:03:03,638 --> 01:03:06,224
Collignon, dead and gone!

712
01:03:06,307 --> 01:03:08,476
Very good!

713
01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:09,561
Collignon...

714
01:03:09,644 --> 01:03:13,732
- Collignon, big moron, down the john!
- That's it!

715
01:03:21,322 --> 01:03:23,741
OK! That's enough for today.

716
01:03:23,825 --> 01:03:25,785
Enough! Enough!

717
01:03:25,827 --> 01:03:28,788
Lucien, stop!

718
01:03:28,830 --> 01:03:30,582
Very good.

719
01:03:32,166 --> 01:03:35,628
Mr. Dufayel, I found this under your mat.

720
01:04:52,663 --> 01:04:54,707
Still no win!

721
01:04:54,748 --> 01:04:56,834
Me neither.

722
01:04:59,920 --> 01:05:00,921
May I?

723
01:05:02,256 --> 01:05:04,341
There's a little...

724
01:05:10,180 --> 01:05:11,431
You're gorgeous

725
01:05:11,515 --> 01:05:13,183
when you blush.

726
01:05:14,268 --> 01:05:16,603
Like a wild flower.

727
01:05:16,687 --> 01:05:19,982
It's my dyspepsia.

728
01:05:21,692 --> 01:05:22,693
"Morning, all."

729
01:05:24,278 --> 01:05:25,445
"Beautiful day."

730
01:05:44,548 --> 01:05:46,258
Pack of «Gitanes», please.

731
01:05:46,299 --> 01:05:50,220
«Bravo! Vive la France!» You scalded me.

732
01:05:50,303 --> 01:05:54,683
Bravo! Ten out of ten! Bull's-eye!

733
01:05:58,728 --> 01:06:00,855
It was Amélie. She...

734
01:06:34,847 --> 01:06:38,851
Do you know what happened
when they went up Mont Blanc?

735
01:06:38,935 --> 01:06:41,354
The silicon in her face froze up.

736
01:06:41,437 --> 01:06:45,900
Her face was a festering mass!

737
01:07:11,801 --> 01:07:15,554
Mulled wine and ginger biscuits.

738
01:07:16,639 --> 01:07:18,266
Thank you.

739
01:07:18,307 --> 01:07:21,519
I was too hard the other day
on the girl with the glass.

740
01:07:22,561 --> 01:07:26,524
Tell me about that boy she saw.
Did they meet again?

741
01:07:28,067 --> 01:07:29,110
No.

742
01:07:30,319 --> 01:07:31,987
They're into different things.

743
01:07:33,072 --> 01:07:35,616
Luck is like the Tour de France.

744
01:07:35,658 --> 01:07:37,743
You wait, and it flashes past you.

745
01:07:39,328 --> 01:07:43,290
You have to catch it while you can.

746
01:08:07,689 --> 01:08:09,441
Can I help you?

747
01:08:09,525 --> 01:08:12,653
Excuse me.
I found this album in the street and I...

748
01:08:12,694 --> 01:08:17,282
Nino will be so pleased!
He was so sad the other day.

749
01:08:17,366 --> 01:08:19,284
I almost prayed to St Anthony.

750
01:08:20,869 --> 01:08:23,038
Is... Nino there?

751
01:08:23,121 --> 01:08:25,874
No. On Wednesdays he works at the funfair.

752
01:08:28,210 --> 01:08:30,295
How long has he had this collection?

753
01:08:30,379 --> 01:08:34,800
Since I got him the job here, last year.

754
01:08:34,883 --> 01:08:39,054
Before, he collected footprints.
He worked nights.

755
01:08:39,137 --> 01:08:45,060
In the daytime he took pictures
of footprints in wet cement.

756
01:08:45,143 --> 01:08:47,270
He's a funny guy.

757
01:08:47,312 --> 01:08:49,606
When we met, he was a Santa Claus.

758
01:08:52,818 --> 01:08:54,528
Other things like...

759
01:08:54,569 --> 01:08:58,448
Whenever he heard a funny laugh,
he'd tape it.

760
01:09:02,661 --> 01:09:03,662
Really?

761
01:09:05,497 --> 01:09:08,124
Must be hard for his girlfriend.

762
01:09:08,166 --> 01:09:10,502
He never keeps them long.

763
01:09:10,585 --> 01:09:13,338
Times are hard for dreamers.

764
01:09:13,421 --> 01:09:16,174
Eva! Where are those coffees?

765
01:09:16,257 --> 01:09:18,677
I'd better go. Thanks for the album.

766
01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:22,389
It's OK. I've got time to take it
to the funfair.

767
01:09:22,430 --> 01:09:26,893
Suit yourself. The ghost train.
Ask for Nino Quincampoix, like the street.

768
01:09:51,209 --> 01:09:53,294
I'm looking for Nino. Is he here?

769
01:09:53,378 --> 01:09:55,421
He doesn't get off till seven.

770
01:09:56,964 --> 01:09:59,384
- Is there no way to see him before?
- Sure.

771
01:10:00,718 --> 01:10:02,303
20 francs.

772
01:11:13,290 --> 01:11:14,875
See you next Wednesday.

773
01:11:26,595 --> 01:11:31,016
"5pm tomorrow, Montmartre carousel
near the phone box. Bring a 5 franc piece."

774
01:11:49,159 --> 01:11:51,244
"Want to know about her?"

775
01:11:53,830 --> 01:11:56,708
- You know her? You saw her?
"- You bet."

776
01:11:56,750 --> 01:11:58,752
"She put us in her shirt pocket."

777
01:11:59,795 --> 01:12:01,379
"Next to her breast."

778
01:12:01,421 --> 01:12:03,340
Is she pretty?

779
01:12:03,423 --> 01:12:05,342
"Not bad."

780
01:12:06,426 --> 01:12:08,428
"- Beautiful.
- No, pretty."

781
01:12:08,511 --> 01:12:09,804
"- Beautiful.
- Pretty."

782
01:12:09,846 --> 01:12:13,683
- What does she want from you?
"- She's broke."

783
01:12:13,767 --> 01:12:16,436
"She wants a reward for the album."

784
01:12:16,478 --> 01:12:18,772
"Or she collects photos, too."

785
01:12:18,855 --> 01:12:23,109
"She wants to trade us
for a one-eyed man with glasses!"

786
01:12:27,781 --> 01:12:28,823
No, you dope!

787
01:12:30,366 --> 01:12:32,744
She's in love.

788
01:12:32,786 --> 01:12:35,538
- I don't even know her.
"- Yes, you do."

789
01:12:35,622 --> 01:12:37,415
Since when?

790
01:12:37,499 --> 01:12:39,209
"You've always known her."

791
01:12:39,292 --> 01:12:40,543
"In your dreams."

792
01:12:53,473 --> 01:12:55,058
Hello?

793
01:12:55,099 --> 01:12:59,187
Yes. You! Man with the plastic bag!
It's for you.

794
01:13:00,730 --> 01:13:02,190
- Me?
- Yes.

795
01:13:05,526 --> 01:13:06,569
Thank you.

796
01:13:08,571 --> 01:13:09,572
Hello?

797
01:13:09,614 --> 01:13:12,366
Follow the blue arrows, Mr. Quincampoix.

798
01:14:37,659 --> 01:14:42,122
When the finger's pointing to the sky,
only a fool looks at the finger.

799
01:15:54,694 --> 01:15:55,695
Hello?

800
01:15:56,779 --> 01:15:59,073
"I know the stranger in the pictures."

801
01:15:59,157 --> 01:16:03,202
He's a ghost.
He's invisible, Mr. Quincampoix.

802
01:16:03,244 --> 01:16:06,622
He only appears
when the film is developed.

803
01:16:06,664 --> 01:16:10,043
"When a girl has her photo taken,"

804
01:16:10,084 --> 01:16:16,048
he goes «Oooh!» in her ear,
while he gently caresses her neck.

805
01:16:16,090 --> 01:16:18,676
That's how he got caught, Mr. Quincampoix.

806
01:16:22,430 --> 01:16:23,681
Who are you?

807
01:16:23,764 --> 01:16:25,183
Page 51.

808
01:16:33,774 --> 01:16:35,359
[YOU]

809
01:16:35,443 --> 01:16:37,236
[WANT]

810
01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:39,739
[TO MEET ME?]

811
01:18:17,794 --> 01:18:20,589
Listen to this. «A boy of six,»

812
01:18:20,672 --> 01:18:22,799
«while his parents sleep, drives off»

813
01:18:22,883 --> 01:18:24,593
«in a pedal car.»

814
01:18:24,634 --> 01:18:28,346
«Found on a motorway
near Münster in Germany,»

815
01:18:28,388 --> 01:18:31,975
«he told the police
he wanted to see the stars.»

816
01:18:32,058 --> 01:18:35,687
Isn't life beautiful, eh?

817
01:18:35,729 --> 01:18:40,316
Love. The only bug she hadn't caught!

818
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:43,403
- Nobody's immune.
- At least it gives me a break.

819
01:18:43,486 --> 01:18:45,655
Love's a great beautician.

820
01:18:47,907 --> 01:18:51,327
What's she like? Tall? Small?
Blonde? Dark?

821
01:18:53,746 --> 01:18:55,832
Let's say... average height.

822
01:18:57,125 --> 01:19:00,128
Not a dwarf or a giraffe. Normal.

823
01:19:01,504 --> 01:19:03,756
Pretty, for her type.

824
01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:06,134
As for blonde or dark...

825
01:19:07,760 --> 01:19:10,805
...it's hard to say,
but she wasn't a redhead.

826
01:19:10,847 --> 01:19:12,724
- Unless...
- Forget it.

827
01:19:13,850 --> 01:19:18,730
I do remember she casually asked
if you had a girlfriend.

828
01:19:18,771 --> 01:19:19,814
And?

829
01:19:19,856 --> 01:19:22,316
I said you weren't interested, right?

830
01:19:23,776 --> 01:19:25,236
You didn't!

831
01:19:25,319 --> 01:19:27,530
What do you care? You don't even know her.

832
01:19:28,614 --> 01:19:32,785
- Exactly. It's the mystery.
- You won't find mystery here.

833
01:19:32,869 --> 01:19:35,037
A pound of nectarines, please.

834
01:19:35,121 --> 01:19:37,915
These ones here are the prettiest.

835
01:19:37,957 --> 01:19:40,084
Trust him. He's an artist!

836
01:19:40,126 --> 01:19:43,212
He's been going home every night
with tons of unsold stock.

837
01:19:43,296 --> 01:19:46,424
What for? Is he stewing a pig?

838
01:19:46,465 --> 01:19:48,634
No, sir! He's studying art!

839
01:19:48,718 --> 01:19:52,388
He sells leeks all day long
and paints turnips all night!

840
01:19:52,471 --> 01:19:54,515
The boy's a useless vegetable.

841
01:19:54,557 --> 01:19:56,058
"A good prompter"

842
01:19:56,142 --> 01:19:59,687
"in each cellar window
whispering cutting retorts"

843
01:19:59,728 --> 01:20:02,356
"would mean shy people had the last laugh."

844
01:20:02,398 --> 01:20:04,859
At least you'll never be a vegetable.

845
01:20:04,942 --> 01:20:07,153
Even artichokes

846
01:20:07,236 --> 01:20:08,237
have hearts.

847
01:20:11,240 --> 01:20:14,868
You'll never be a vegetable.
Even artichokes have hearts!

848
01:20:56,285 --> 01:20:57,911
"Memory seven."

849
01:21:15,595 --> 01:21:19,850
"Darling Mado,
I miss you more and more each day."

850
01:21:19,933 --> 01:21:23,186
"I'm an exile in a world of dreary khaki."

851
01:21:23,228 --> 01:21:25,522
"I can't sleep, can't eat..."

852
01:21:25,564 --> 01:21:28,275
"This camp was the biggest mistake
of my life,"

853
01:21:28,358 --> 01:21:32,112
"depriving me of my beloved
for five long weeks."

854
01:21:32,153 --> 01:21:35,031
"I think of you endlessly. Your Adrien."

855
01:21:36,825 --> 01:21:41,579
"I turned down my last month's wages
instead of giving notice."

856
01:21:42,622 --> 01:21:45,959
"I dream of better times ahead."

857
01:21:46,042 --> 01:21:50,004
"An orange-coloured day.
Remember, my love?"

858
01:21:50,046 --> 01:21:52,132
"Your ever-loving Adrien."

859
01:21:53,925 --> 01:21:55,343
"Good news, darling Mado."

860
01:21:55,426 --> 01:21:58,721
"Soon I'll be able to afford a car"

861
01:21:58,763 --> 01:22:01,266
"and drive home every night."

862
01:22:01,349 --> 01:22:05,728
"Till then, meet me on Friday and
we'll go out."

863
01:24:52,727 --> 01:24:54,896
[MUM]

01:24:57,732 --> 01:24:59,818
"Psychiatric Helpline."

865
01:25:01,361 --> 01:25:03,446
"Hello? Hello?"

866
01:25:25,500 --> 01:25:34,500
[WHERE & WHEN?]

867
01:25:44,403 --> 01:25:46,822
"One hour later at 11 Boulevard St Martin,"

"Amélie walks into a party goods
and costume shop."

"At the same time,

How's it going, Mrs. Walace?

876
01:27:12,658 --> 01:27:15,452
It's always better when it's not raining.

877
01:27:15,535 --> 01:27:17,954
- This is for you.
- Me?

"Dear Mrs. Walace,
We recently recovered a mailbag"

"I think of you endlessly."

886

"I know I've made
the biggest mistake of my life."

"I turned down that woman's money."

"If all goes well,
I'll soon be able to afford a house."

Mr. Dufayel, another package for you.

893
01:29:00,264 --> 01:29:03,476
Mr. Dufayel, do you know
what happened to the concierge?

894
01:29:04,935 --> 01:29:06,228
She got a letter.

895
01:29:07,271 --> 01:29:10,107
From her husband. 40 years late.

896
01:29:12,443 --> 01:29:14,528
That's a lot, isn't it, Mr. Dufayel?

897
01:29:27,750 --> 01:29:31,212
I'm not big on still life, Mr. Dufayel.

898
01:29:31,295 --> 01:29:34,256
Then work on your thin layer.

899
01:29:34,298 --> 01:29:37,051
Fat over thin. Always!

900
01:29:55,903 --> 01:29:57,696
- Mr. Dufayel...
- Yes!

901
01:29:57,738 --> 01:30:02,117
The papers said
that there'll soon be a new star.

902
01:30:02,159 --> 01:30:09,291
- So you're into stars now?
- I saw it on TV at my mum's, that's why.

903
01:30:11,168 --> 01:30:12,878
I don't know if it's true.

904
01:30:12,920 --> 01:30:15,255

put them in a satellite

907
01:30:21,345 --> 01:30:23,680
and shoot it into space.

908
01:30:23,764 --> 01:30:26,099
The satellite's going to shine for ever.

910
01:30:32,314 --> 01:30:34,566

912
01:30:35,734 --> 01:30:36,943

I don't understand.

920
01:32:54,830 --> 01:32:58,709
Brilliant! You couldn't have done better.

921
01:32:58,751 --> 01:33:01,962
- Did it work?
- It's getting there.

922
01:33:02,004 --> 01:33:04,923
Ask me again any time. The harm's done.

923
01:33:05,007 --> 01:33:08,635
- What do you mean?
- Everybody calls me Snow White!

I am often there from 4pm.]

- Eva?
- Yes?

926
01:34:25,670 --> 01:34:29,424
Could you stand in for me at four?

927
01:34:29,507 --> 01:34:31,384
"Again?"

928
01:34:34,762 --> 01:34:36,180
"Close the door!"

01:34:38,349 --> 01:34:40,351
"What's up with him?"

930
01:34:40,435 --> 01:34:42,145
Is he sulking?

931
01:34:42,186 --> 01:34:45,773
- He thinks I smile too much.
- He'd rather you frowned?

932
01:34:45,857 --> 01:34:48,735
With other men, yes.

of two possible explanations."

935
01:34:59,871 --> 01:35:02,290
"Secondly, before he could assemble it,"

936
01:35:02,373 --> 01:35:06,627
"a gang of bank robbers took him hostage."

937
01:35:06,711 --> 01:35:08,671
"The cops gave chase."

"They got away,"

939
01:35:10,548 --> 01:35:13,301
"but he caused a crash."

01:35:15,636 --> 01:35:17,263
"he'd lost his memory,"

942

"An ex-con picked him up,"

943
01:35:21,058 --> 01:35:25,271
"mistook him for a fugitive,
and shipped him to Istanbul."

944

- A coffee, please.

- No, thanks. I'm fine.
- OK.

I think it's time she took a real risk.

971
01:39:06,365 --> 01:39:10,869
She might just do that.
She's devising a stratagem.

972

She's fond of stratagems.

Yes.

974

Stop smothering them!
Women need to breathe.

1026
01:46:14,873 --> 01:46:18,126
You let them breathe,
they want a change of air.

1027
01:46:18,209 --> 01:46:20,045
Fresh air's healthy.

1028
01:46:20,128 --> 01:46:22,088
Shut it, failure!

Failed writer, failed life...

1030
01:46:26,384 --> 01:46:28,970
I love the word «fail».

1031
01:46:29,054 --> 01:46:31,056
Failure is human destiny.

1032
01:46:31,139 --> 01:46:32,682
It's gasbag time!

1033
01:46:32,724 --> 01:46:35,977
Failure teaches us
that life is but a draft,

1034
01:46:36,060 --> 01:46:39,898
a long rehearsal for a show
that will never play.

1035
01:46:41,316 --> 01:46:43,651
I bet he stole that.

1036
01:46:43,735 --> 01:46:46,196
I do have some original ideas,

1037
01:46:46,237 --> 01:46:51,701
but people always steal them.
A bit like your women.

1038
01:46:51,743 --> 01:46:53,786
Meaning?

1039
01:46:53,828 --> 01:46:57,040
Meaning you'd better get used to it.

1040
01:46:57,081 --> 01:46:59,626
Speak for yourself, you...

1041
01:46:59,667 --> 01:47:00,710
What?

1042
01:47:04,505 --> 01:47:07,592
- What's going on?
- Nothing much. Georgette went out.

«Went out?»

1045
01:47:11,012 --> 01:47:16,184
Just like Gina. You know who's she's with?
The guy with the plastic bag.

1046

Back he comes, and hey presto!
Out they go.

1050
01:47:32,283 --> 01:47:34,683
I'm worried for Amélie because I like you.

1051
01:47:34,717 --> 01:47:35,944
What do you mean?

1052
01:47:36,954 --> 01:47:40,750
By and large, the men I like
are mentally unsound.

1053
01:47:40,791 --> 01:47:43,836
- I'd like to know more about you.
- Ask me questions.

1054
01:47:46,630 --> 01:47:48,424
One swallow doesn't make...?

1055
01:47:49,550 --> 01:47:50,551
A swallow?

1056
01:47:52,136 --> 01:47:53,679
A spring.

1057
01:47:53,721 --> 01:47:55,097
And clothes...?

1058
01:47:55,139 --> 01:47:56,682
The monk.

1059
01:47:56,724 --> 01:47:58,142
- A good cat deserves...?
- A rat.

1060
01:47:58,225 --> 01:47:59,852
- Patience...?
- Is a virtue.

1061
01:47:59,894 --> 01:48:01,478
- Rolling stone...?
- Gathers no moss.

1062
01:48:01,562 --> 01:48:03,856
- It's a sin...?
- To steal a pin.

1063
01:48:03,898 --> 01:48:05,900
Absence makes...?

1064
01:48:05,983 --> 01:48:07,401
The heart grow fonder.

1065
01:48:07,484 --> 01:48:09,445
- Not bad.
- You collect them?

1066
01:48:09,486 --> 01:48:13,824
In my family, we say a man
who knows his proverbs can't be all bad.

1067
01:48:18,412 --> 01:48:21,874
Pretty girl from the 5th floor,
listen to this!

1068
01:48:21,915 --> 01:48:24,877
- Do you believe in miracles?
- Not today.

1069
01:48:26,336 --> 01:48:28,464
You're in for a surprise.

1070
01:48:28,505 --> 01:48:31,842
What if I told you that a team of climbers

1071
01:48:31,925 --> 01:48:35,846
on Mont Blanc had found

1072
01:48:35,929 --> 01:48:40,517
"hard proof that my husband loved me?"

1073
01:49:13,884 --> 01:49:16,011
Lucien, I need some yeast.

1074
01:49:16,052 --> 01:49:19,973
For Miss Amélie?
She's baking her famous plum cake?

1075
01:49:20,056 --> 01:49:22,976
Collignon! Go and get the yeast.

1076
01:50:17,196 --> 01:50:18,781
"Amélie?"

1077
01:50:18,865 --> 01:50:19,866
"Amélie?"

1078
01:50:27,206 --> 01:50:28,249
Amélie?

1079
01:50:49,146 --> 01:50:51,147
[I'll be back.]

1080
01:51:22,261 --> 01:51:25,222
"Go into the bedroom, Miss Poulain."

1081
01:51:41,280 --> 01:51:44,408
"So, little Amélie,"

1082
01:51:44,449 --> 01:51:48,537
"your bones aren't made of glass."

1083
01:51:48,620 --> 01:51:51,707
"You can take life's knocks."

1084
01:51:51,790 --> 01:51:56,128
"If you let this chance go by,"

1085
01:51:56,211 --> 01:52:02,843
"eventually your heart will become"

1086
01:52:02,884 --> 01:52:08,932
"as dry and brittle as my skeleton."

1087
01:52:10,559 --> 01:52:12,102
"So..."

1088
01:52:12,144 --> 01:52:15,313
"Go and get him, for pete's sake!"

1089
01:55:02,813 --> 01:55:08,652
[Without you, today's emotions would be
the scurf of erstwhile's
HIPOLITO]

1090
01:56:04,958 --> 01:56:06,668
International airport.

1091
01:56:06,709 --> 01:56:11,756
"September 28th 1997. It is exactly 11am."

1092
01:56:11,798 --> 01:56:14,509
"At the funfair, near the ghost train,"

1093
01:56:14,550 --> 01:56:17,720
"the marshmallow twister is twisting."

1094
01:56:17,804 --> 01:56:20,056
"Meanwhile, on a bench in Villette Square,"

1095
01:56:20,139 --> 01:56:25,561
"Félix Lerbier learns there are more links
in his brain than atoms in the universe."

1096
01:56:26,646 --> 01:56:27,772
"Meanwhile,"

1097
01:56:27,814 --> 01:56:31,484
"at the Sacré-Cœur,
the nuns are practising their backhand."

1098
01:56:31,567 --> 01:56:33,945
"The temperature is 24°C,"

1099
01:56:33,986 --> 01:56:35,863
"humidity 70%,"

1100
01:56:35,905 --> 01:56:39,158
"atmospheric pressure 999 millibars."
