Girl on a Bicycle Page #3

[ Italian ]

No, no, no, no, no!

[ Italian ]

Now you'll be seeing the real Paris

that almost no tourist has ever seen.

Ahead of us,

you will see the sewing shop.

Very good if you need sewing--

if it's not August,

and if it's open.

Hi.

Hi. It's me.

Call me back,Schnute.

What are you doing?

Paolo always calls me at lunchtime

if I'm not flying. He hasn't called.

We're now passing a wine bar.

They have wine.

They also have free peanuts... if

it's not August, and if it's open.

Well, suppose that just this one

time he decided not to call.

Nothing bothers an Italian

more than a plan.

Show him a schedule, and he

swats at it like a mosquito.

I think

I'm gonna call him again.

[ Beeping ]

[ Man ] Whoa! [

Passengers Murmuring ]

Hmm. Maybe there's a good

reason he's not calling.

What's a good reason?

He's dead?

No. Mm-- Mm-mmm.

No. No, please,

give him a break!

No!

You don't understand,

Frangois.

Your cell phone

is your relationship.

You go from e-mails to texting

to actually talking.

[ Beeps ]

He's probably just

taking a nap on his bus.

[All Scream ]

[All Exhaling ]

[ Italian ]

Caf, croissant.

Buon appetito!

Well, you got a chance

of seeing a different--

[Chattering ]

Where did you go?

Huh? Sorry?

Numro de tlphone,

s'il vous plait.

Brava, brava. Numro de

tlphone, s'il vous plaTt.

[ Chuckles ]

- What?

- [Horn Honking]

Au revoir.

[Line Ringing]

I [Cell Phone Ringtone: Rock]

Moshi-moshi. I ran over the

girl on the bicycle, man.

Excellent solution.

Fast and final.

I didn't kill her.

Well, that's too bad,

'cause that definitely

would have solved the problem.

You manage to get

her phone number?

No. That's why

I ran her over.

Oh, well, that should teach her.

If she refuses next time, throw her off the

Eiffel Tower, or maybe drown her in the Seine.

Eventually, she's got to

give you her phone number.

Very funny, man. Her name is Ccile.

Ccile Laurent.

- You spoke to her?

- No, I'm at the hospital.

I heard the nurses

say her name.

Also, I've been fired.

I can't marry Greta

without a job.

Find me another job.

Excuse me.

Gotta go.

Uh, how is Ccile Laurent?

We only can give out information

to immediate family.

Are you her husband?

Yeah, I'm the husband.

She has a broken leg and a broken

arm, but only minor fractures.

She'll be fine

in a few weeks.

We have her on strong pain medication,

so she's a little drugged out now.

But you should be able

to take her home soon.

Take her home soon.

Mmm.

Yeah.

Once you find someone to take care

of her, you can go back to work.

Do you want to see her?

I'll be back.

Children.

Children!

Papa!Papa!

Papa!Papa!

Ah, my sweet,

dear children, eh?

You were right,ma man.

Papa speaks English.

Mm-hmm.

Time to go home, everybody.

Let's go in.

Hold the door.

Hold the door.

Very good. Oop.

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

All right.

Let's do it!

[Grunts]

Okay.

I'm hungry.

Me too.

Okay. You can go get

something to eat.

I'm six years old.

I'm five, Papa.

Papa'?

Okay. Let's get something

straight right away.

Hmm--

Julien.

Claire.

Okay, Julien and Claire, I'm not

sure where you got this idea,

but I'm definitely

not, uh--

not, uh--

Not what?

I'm not, uh-

I'm not sure what there is,

uh, to eat for dinner.

Where is the kitchen?

Allora.

Where is the food?

[Julien ] Maman didn't buy it yet.

She buys it on her way home.

Now I'll go buy some real

food downstairs. You play.

You left your phone

in the locker?

He left his phone

in the locker at the depot.

What time will you be home

for dinner tonight?

No, Greta, the thing is that, um, the union

decided to do this thing at the last minute.

I don't- It's a meeting that, uh, I

don't know how long it's gonna last.

But probably it will last a long time.

I mean, I don't know.

Well, okay, then I'm just gonna put your dinner

in the fridge, and you can microwave it?

Brava, perfetto.

He has a union meeting tonight.

[ Chuckles]

Greta, who's there?

Nobody. Just a friend.

He's one of the pilots.

You haven't met him.

Okay.Bacio.

Bacioback.

Paolo took me here

the first night we met.

I love it here.

If you ever want to find

me, here's where I am.

And I don't believe for one second

that he left his phone in his looker.

Spaghetti.

Prego.

[ Sighs]

I'm happy you're back home.

Me too, although you were

away a very long time.

Too long. You should stay here

and not kill dragons, Papa.

Well,

takes a long time

to kill dragons.

And if you don't oall me "Papa,"

that would be good. Thank you.

- We can't call you "Papa"?

- We can't call you "Papa"?

No, you can call me Papa if

you want, but not so often.

I mean, at least until we get

to know each other. You know?

Could you say the story of how you

killed the dragon when we go to bed?

Bed. That's a good idea.

When do you go to bed?

- After dinner.

- And our bath.

Hmm. Okay, if you want to know the whole

story about how I killed the dragon,

finish your pasta very

quickly, and go get your bath.

- I'm six years old.

- I'm five.

Maman bathes us.

Well, probably

not tonight.

And I was in the mouth

of the dragon.

Then I put my feet like this and my arms

like this, and I kept the mouth open.

Then I took my sword, and I

plunged it through his tongue...

and hit all the way down to his throat.

[Grunts]

And the dragon

wanted to spit fire,

but he couldn't

because of my sword.

And then all the fire went into his

sinuses, and then he had to sneeze.

And so he wanted

an antihistamine,

but he couldn't ask for antihistamine

because he couldn't talk.

So he was desperate. And then I saw him

become puffy, puffy, puffy, puffy, puffy-

And then he sneezed, boom,

and he sneezed me

out of his mouth.

So I was free

all of a sudden.

I look at him,

and he goes like--

[Grunting 1

Pwah!

An enormous sneeze.

And all this

nasal mucus there.

And then he... dropped and

fell- [ imitates Thud ]

In this giant puddle of nasal

mucus, and he drowned.

And he was dead.

- Bravo!

- Bravo!

It was easy really.

Shh. Good night.

Maman wakes us up

at 7:
00 for school.

7:
00? Okay,

I'll wake you up at 7:00.

Good night. Sleep.

[ Creaks ]

[Line Ringing]

Moshi-moshi.

No.

Moshi-moshi yourself.

You don't know in what kind

of sh*t you put me in, man.

Ccile has two children.

Well, there you go.

That ought to do it.

No, they think

I'm their father.

- Now why is that?

- I don't know why is that. They just do.

Who cares why? I mean, they think

I've been away chasing dragons.

So did you, uh, rescue the princess,

or you gotta go back to get her?

No, the prinoess- she took so

many pills, she's like in a coma.

Where are you, man? I'm

on my way to Greta.

And, by the way,

if she calls you,

you have to tell her that we were at

a union meeting tonight- me and you.

Oh, we got a union now, have we?

That's all I could think about, man.
