Disco Page #5

Synopsis: Didier Travolta (Franck Dubosc) is a 40-year-old disco music fan who has no job, lives with his mother, and has a son he hasn't seen for a while in Britain. The mother of his son refuses to send him their son for the holidays unless he can offer him a real vacation, not just going to bars of the French port city of Le Havre. As the jobless Didier has no money, the only way he can see his son is by winning a dance contest organized by his friend Jackson (Gérard Depardieu), with the prize a vacation to Australia for two. Didier persuades his two former dancing buddies (Samuel Le Bihan and Abbes Zahmani) to get the once-famous "Bee Kings" group back on the dancefloor. Years have passed and they need a dance coach (Emmanuelle Béart) to get them ready for the competition. They soon find out that even if they once were the best, times have changed. Jobs, wives, love, ridiculous looks, old-fashioned clothes, talented contestants... Can they reclaim their past disco glory?

is far from gone.

Thanks for the gift.

Didier Travolta...

l'm not making it up.

lsn't that cotton candy

haircut of his tacky?

Disco dancing at 40!

lt takes the l.Q. of a beetle.

Luckily, l know France.

She'll enjoy her trained seal.

When she's fed up,

she'll throw him back in.

Thank you, everyone.

And thank you, Guillaume.

Thank you, sister.

"To you...

"For the way you have

of being lovely,

"for the way you have

of being mine,

"For your words

so tender and artificial..."

For me, the party's over.

What's the matter?

Nothing. l just have a beetle's l.Q.

and l'm a cornball.

l heard it all, Guillaume.

You really took me for a ride.

The seal's going back

to the ice floe.

Stop being ridiculous.

Don't talk to me anymore.

l prefer my world.

And if the hick

is disco dancing at 40,

it's to take his son on vacation.

Here, France.

My present.

A good-luck charm.

You'll need it more than l will.

Thanks, Guillaume.

Great birthday party.

Especially the finale.

l think l did something stupid.

Question four.

Starting with

the lntel Core 2 Duo computer,

describe the accessories

available with this model,

such as the Belkin lDE,

and the Belkin RJ45C adaptor.

Careful...

lt's a trick question.

Didier! Please!

Listen to your mother.

l've done enough listening.

l give up.

So l won't play the finals.

lt'll serve me right.

You're right.

No use in fighting.

Fighters want to win.

As for losers, you know the score.

Get off my back!

l'm tired of being Didier Barleycorn!

Don't you want to see the kangaroos

in your son's eyes?

Give your redhead some memories.

Give him some memories because...

One day he'll to be older

and won't want to think

his dad was a loser.

Hear that?

Give the little redhead

some memories.

And you might meet Kylie Minogue

in Australia.

l'll bounce back.

There are other ways in life.

lt's a big world.

A lot bigger than people think.

He'll bounce back.

l'm sorry about that business

with my brother. lt was rotten.

No, it's my fault.

l'm sorry for thinking

you could have loved a loser like me.

l don't love you. l adore you.

So what if we come

from two different worlds.

Who's a loser? Who isn't?

The Buffalo Grill

may seem cheesy...

but the fries are great.

What's your boy's name?

Brian.

l didn't choose it.

Well, he can be proud of his father.

l'm going back to the US

but first l want to win the finals.

We going to do it?

Higher... Higher... Over the L.

The Baroness?

Did you miss me?

l missed you. Very much.

Good. Glad to hear it.

l have a gift for you.

A sponsor for your finals.

A star, as you say.

lt's Francis Lalanne?

Yep. Francis Lalanne!

He'll do it.

Come on over here...

Doesn't he look disco?

Disco-nected, you mean.

He's not at all disco.

l thought it over.

l don't need a star.

You're my star.

You'll sponsor the evening.

He's right!

l can't hear you but l read lips.

l'm not disco.

Do l exist at all?

l wanted to tell you

it's not a problem for me.

Stick together.

You're wonderful people.

l won't ruin such harmony.

But Francis...

No Francis!

l'll just slip away as l came.

Go in peace!

And preserve

those little gremlins inside you.

And thanks for entering my life.

"Think of me,

"How much l love you

"And you will deliver me

"You'll break the curse

"That keeps me far from your arms"

lt's Gondolo!

lt's Gondolo!

50 P.M. Gin Fizz Finale, Le Havre

Good evening

and welcome to the Gin Fizz

for the grand finale

you've been waiting for.

On my right,

the fans of Angelo.

And on my left,

the fans of the Bee Kings.

The jury

will be chaired by our godmother,

the superb,

the beautiful,

the sublime, the diva,

Jacqueline Bouchard de la Marinire.

Contestant No. 1 ...

He comes from ltaly.

Angelo!

We relax.

We unwind.

As of this moment,

your adversary is you.

Don't be afraid of yourselves.

Three bodies,

one heart.

Sweetie?

Great work, sweetie.

You got the job.

My sweetie-pie!

Let's go, chickadees!

Go on, love!

Bring the house down!

They come from Le Havre.

The High Seas quarter.

Let's have

a big hand for...

The Bee Kings!

lt's the big day.

l want to thank you. Without you,

l wouldn't see Brian this year.

Listen...

You okay?

Everything's just fine.

l'll study English again,

get up early, buy a new briefcase.

Good. New York isn't that far

after all.

True. lt's not.

And maybe the next contest

is for a trip to N.Y.?

True, maybe.

Anyway, it's great.

You'll feel more fulfilled there.

Can l say something?

l was thinking...

You settle your waterbed problem?

They all had holes.

We sent them back to Gondolo.

l never saw beds keep people

from sleeping like that.

You wanted to tell me something.

No... Yes...

l mean...

l wanted to tell you that...

Goodbye, Didier.

See you soon.
