Full steam ahead!

Enough, idiot!

You're using up all the steam!

Mmm!

Mwah!

Mm.

Glad to have had you aboard.

Oh!

Mm.

Bah!

Ah!

Good morning, Panisse.

Oysters!

Muscles!

Beautiful sardines!

Isn't anybody hungry today?

Morning, ladies.

Hi, Miquel.

Are you going to buy

something, or just stand there?

These oysters are very

small, aren't they?

If it's monsters you

want, go the aquarium.

Two dozen, please.

Morning, Honorine.

Morning, Escartifique.

Where is

your beautiful daughter?

It's Fanny's day off.

Mm.

It's all right, Cesar.

It's me, Escartifique.

Is your son tending bar?

Marius, I am here.

My glass of wine, please.

Ah!

Mm.

Hm.

Hm.

Thank you, Marius.

Bum bum bum bum bum bum

bum bum bum bum bum bum bum

Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum.

Ha, ha!

Ahoy, there, mate,

what time is it?

11:
30.

Ho, ho!

Hey, Marius!

Marius!

Marius!

Uh, Marius!

Oh, Marius, she's do

in any minute, Marius.

Shh!

You want the whole

world to know?

It's your big chance.

Will you be ready?

Come here.

Hurry up!

Ah!

Oh!

Ho, ho.

Already packed, huh?

And your papers?

Oh, ho, ho.

You'll get away!

Oh, ho!

Oh, what a beautiful sound, eh?

That's the Saigon.

She wants a pilot.

It's whistling, Marius.

Yes, it's the Saigon.

Chump!

It is the percolator!

Is that coffee for him?

Yes.

Want a cup?

No.

Why not?

Because if we drink

everything free,

There will be nothing

left for the customers.

If you meant to insult

me, you succeeded.

Insult?

What insult?

Hey, if at the age of 20 I

can't offer a cup of coffee

To a friend, what am I, huh?

You're barely 19 in 2 months.

Now don't be in

such a hurry to 20.

Oh, we have an

appointment later, right?

Uh, I don't know.

Maybe.

Ship ahoy!

Aha, ha, ha, ha.

Oh, ha, ha, ha.

I congratulate you on

your choice of friends.

A half crazy...

The Admiral is

completely crazy.

But is my friend.

Oh!

Hot today, isn't it?

Ha, ha.

Well, isn't somebody

going to say something?

Your poor mother will allow

you to sell fish in, uh, that?

I sell no fish today.

It's my birthday.

Oh, of course.

Heartfelt congratulations.

Ha, ha, ha.

Thank you, Cesar.

Here, inhale.

It's not sardine.

It's perfume!

Oh!

Is it very expensive?

Of course not.

But is perfume.

Mama give it to me.

She said, uh, today,

daughter, you are a woman.

I'm still not married.

Ha, ha, a woman!

Marius, how long ago was it

that you and Fanny were playing

On the floor together, with

both your noses running?

A cup of coffee, please.

Marius, don't you think

it's nice to be 18?

Not particularly.

It's so, well, in between.

I mean, at 17 one is

young, at 19 a man.

But 18...

Well, I have no

desire to be a man.

Have another whiff.

Delicious.

Fanny, don't pay any

attention to my son.

You're beautiful.

Soon you'll get married

and have children,

So they can poison

your existence.

Oh, now I poison his existence!

I do half your work.

Half my work?

Ha, ha!

Whenever you're needed,

you're not here.

You're a dreamer,

that's what you are.

You were born right

upstairs and you can't even

Learn how to proportion a

decent lemon pecan coureso.

You don't make two

of them the same!

Well, since the customer's

drink only one at a time,

They can't compare them.

What have you got to

answer to that, Cesar?

Now, you keep out of this.

You're only 18.

Now what's so

difficult about this?

Now look, one third

coureso... now pay attention!

Yes, sir.

A little fare.

Ah, and one third lemon.

See?

I see.

Now, a good third pecan.

See?

And now, add a

big fare of water.

There.

Now...

That makes four thirds.

Well?

A glass only

holds three thirds.

It depends on the

size of the thirds!

Well, the... that's

not arithmetic!

And a drop on the bottleneck,

is that arithmetic, too?

Now look!

You should pour it like this.

And push the last

drop back with a cork.

Cesar!

Cesar!

Cesar!

Cesar, hurry!

It's time for the hunt.

I'm really for this!

Quickly, quickly!

Come on, hurry!

They always hide

it under the hat.

Ha, ha.

Look at them!

Grown men!

Hey, there is one.

Aha!

We didn't hurt you, sir?

Oh!

Good morning.

A lovely day.

Uh-oh, look.

Morning.

Good morning.

Oh, no!

Nice to see everyone

out this morning.

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Why weren't you at

the dance last night?

Well, I can live

without dancing.

I danced practically

every dance with Victor.

A very good dancer.

Very polite and clever, too.

Victor!

Is he that little boy

with the large pimples?

Oh, the pimples are all gone.

I'm glad to hear it.

They've given way to boils.

Not too bad a fight.

Ha, ha.

Should I tell Victor that I

can't go with him next Sunday

Night?

Why should you tell him that?

I thought you might

want to take me.

No.

Don't disappoint Victor.

I might ruin what's

left of his complexion.

You're dense.

Or hopeless!

Or both!

Still playing the same

imbecilic game, I see.

Why, it's Monsieur Brun.

Yes, aha!

Welcome back from

Paris, Monsieur Brun.

Thank you.

It's easy to see

you're an Englishman,

You didn't kick the hat.

Now we can have our

card games again!

Aha, ha, ha!

Sit down.

Sit down.

We'll drink to your homecoming.

Oh, thank you.

Marius, another glass!

Fanny, it's lunch time.

A plate of delicious

muscles, hm?

Ha, ha, ha.

Not for me.

Where did he go

in such a hurry?

To get dressed.

Today is Monday.

Is Monday something special?

Don't you remember?

On Monday's at 12:30 my father

lunches with his girlfriend.

Oh.

Oh, yes, of course.

Tell me, is it still the same,

um, uh, voluptuous Dutch lady?

There's a new one.

She is Spanish.

And monumental!

Oh, hoo, hoo, hoo.

That will be four francs each.

Four francs for that?

My mother

says four francs.

And from that high

court, there's no appeal.

Ha, ha.

Ah, to you.

Why don't you have

lunch with me, Fanny?

There's enough for two.

Why, I'd be delighted.

Marius, two anisettes.

It is not often that

a lonely old widower

Gets to have lunch with

such a pretty girl.

Mm.

And it isn't often I'm told

I'm such a pretty girl.

Ah, I see you are still wearing

your mourning band, Panisse.

Yes.

It will be four months tomorrow.

Poor Felicity.

On Friday, she ate an enormous

dish of bouillabaisse.

And on Sunday, ptt!

Oh, don't, Panisse, don't.

Such memories hurt.

Don't talk about her.

No, no, no.

No, no.

On the contrary, I

enjoy talking about it.

How soft your hand is.

And how cool.

Hm, mm.

Remarkable.

Oh, why is

that remarkable?

Your hand must be

just as... ah, no.

As a matter of fact,

it's quite warm.

Marius, two more anisettes.

If you're going

to drink, I suggest

That your free your hands.

We'll manage, you pour.

Atta boy, atta boy.

Fill our glasses.

They're full.

Liar.

What did you say?

Careful!

Careful, you're spilling it.

He is a little nervous today.

What manners!

Such a pretty hand.

Papa Panisse.

You have already

praised my hand.

Your right hand.

I am now referring
