Irreplaceable Page #4

An attempt to shift blame from

the German army for the defeat,

by making the civil

population responsible.

That myth undermined

the Weimar Republic

and assisted the rise

of the Nazi Party.

You know your history.

I know the 14-18 War.

Hello, everything okay?

How's it going?

Hello.

Too bad you can't dance.

Go ahead, have a laugh.

You realize I nearly died?

I had to crawl 100 metres

to reach the phone in my jacket.

I'd like to see you try it!

See the guys selling

beer outside?

They're the hunters.

The ones on the bar inside

are the non-hunters.

That's the key to this village.

Which side is your dad on?

He's above that. He's God here.

The day he retires, or dies

since he'll never retire,

no more village.

People will stop

breathing and living.

They'll just let themselves die.

He thinks the world

will end with him.

I'm kind of worried.

I hadn't seen him in a while.

He seems tired.

How's it going?

- Am I interrupting?

- Not at all.

I host laughter yoga

once a month.

You should come.

Laughter yoga?

It's very serious.

Laughing is good

for your health.

It improves

circulation and

boosts antibodies.

I'll be in Paris, Guy.

Sign up for it, Nathalie!

- Okay.

- You have to come.

I'll come and try it.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Nice, isn't she?

What?

How are you?

Fine.

And the baby?

You never came back to see me.

Actually, we didn't keep it.

We felt it wasn't

the right time.

Are you really okay, Ninon?

Yes. Goodbye.

A beer, please.

I saw Sorlin. He's in a bad way.

I'm sorry.

I spoke to Nors.

What did he say? Hospitalizing

Sorlin was a dumb idea.

Thank you all for turning up

for our 8th country

music festival.

Thank you very much.

I'd like to thank everyone

at the town hall

for helping me organize

these events

that allow us to get together...

and enjoy life

in our village of Chaussy.

Have fun, have a great time.

We'll be dancing all night.

You know General Gallieni?

General Gallieni? No.

He was a soldier.

And a great dancer.

Can you dance?

Yes.

A little.

I'm a great dancer.

Really?

Why aren't you dancing?

Will you dance with me?

A van's blocking

the performers' minibus.

Are you okay?

Yes...

See you tomorrow.

Go on, I'm listening.

I hoped for better.

The tumors still there.

What I suggest

is a new protocol.

A mix of radiation and chemo.

Don't panic, it

won't be too tough.

We don't have any choice.

And, quite frankly,

it can give excellent results.

Sorry, Michel,

I won't do radiation treatment.

What's wrong?

I didn't call before,

he was calm. Follow me.

Send in the troops!

Let's go!

Stretcher-bearers!

Stop or I'll shoot!

Don't worry, I'll go.

Nathalie, step forward!

See, I have all the

military gear.

- Can I shelter too?

- Look at it.

Come down.

So what's this?

- An army helmet.

- It's great.

No, that one's a fake.

- How old is it?

- It dates from 1918.

From the 14-18 War.

- The one on your head too?

- Yeah.

Not the same use though.

I know loads of war stories.

So I see.

Stories of the 14-18 War.

How come?

I learned them by

listening to TV.

- Documentaries?

- Yes.

- Seen a lot?

- I saw a lot when I was 12.

- You saw them more than once?

- Yes.

I watched them more than once

and over again.

- You speak German?

- Yes.

What does it mean?

That means station.

Station, "bahnhof".

Yes, "bahnhof" means

main station.

Know how they say Roger Zabel

in German?

He's always been like that.

He gets totally

obsessed about things.

I'll lighten the treatment.

Let me know how it goes.

All right.

He has an exceptional memory

and that's rare.

In fact,

I think it might be autism.

But...

I was told he lacked oxygen

when he was born.

He was blue.

I really can't be sure,

but it's worth considering.

What difference would it make?

You know...

If it's autism, he can get

special care and make progress.

Maybe even read and write.

Let's try anyhow, okay?

Don't worry, there's no rush.

We'll talk again.

All right.

Just a second.

Here you go.

We have a real glut of them.

Thank you very much.

It's very kind of you

to do all this for him.

I think he likes you a lot.

It's better than with Dr Werner.

We won't tell him that.

Good bye.

I'm keen about this

health centre.

Very keen indeed.

It's my project.

Why?

Around ten years ago,

we had two doctors here.

Here's Ccile. Come in.

Sorry I'm late.

The departmental

council, always early.

I'm just joking.

What was I saying? Yes, we had

two doctors ten years ago

and now just Jean-Pierre.

And he won't live forever.

So I think we need

to consider the future.

Yes, Mr Maroini.

The regional council

knows all that.

Now,

I'd like to hear

what Dr Werner has to say.

Of course.

But careful,

Jean-Pierre has a very

personal view of things.

Like Francis just said, I think

we need to plan ahead

and find a way

to bring young doctors here.

Sorry, but I don't understand.

I don't get it.

You said you were

against the project.

We need a solution.

Right.

Fanny, our nurse.

I think it's a good idea.

Yes, very good. Guy?

Same thing.

I see my job as team work

rather than a solitary thing.

We've often talked about it.

Strength in numbers.

Hold on a second.

We want to work as a team?

But we do that already.

We all communicate.

You're tackling it wrong.

There are no doctors.

Even with a health centre,

they won't come.

Other places do it.

It's simple. In two years,

we have four times

as many health centers.

Don't be so hasty.

Most health centers

are real estate deals,

pure speculation.

And they don't always work.

They work in towns

with a pharmacy, dentists, etc.

But not in the country.

The department helps doctors

from the EU to settle here.

In Verneuil, for instance,

a Romanian stayed two months.

It's not easy to adapt.

That health centers empty now.

Imagine the cost.

All right!

So we do nothing

and wait to croak?

Francis, Nathalie has a point.

We had an idea. Municipal

transport could be good.

Old people could come to us

and the specialists in Magny.

Right?

Not bad.

Also,

the town council could help to

computerize the doctor's office.

Exactly.

Excuse me,

but that's not our remit.

We're between two departments.

The duty doctor comes 40 km

for night emergencies

across the Val d'Oise.

For an emergency 4 km away

in Normandy, it's another doctor

who drives two hours

there and back.

It's absurd.

If you'd fallen 50 meters away,

you'd have been in Normandy.

They pissed me off.

I've screwed up.

I'm with Sorlin.

No, he's in the car with me.

I've screwed up, I know.

I'm on my way.

Here's what we'll do.

We'll relay each other.

You come every

morning at 11, Guy.

Then Gisle will take over

for his midday meal.

Fanny, you'll come twice.

Morning and afternoon

for his treatment.

Okay?

Brigitte,

you'll give him his dinner.

Can the council

have his meals delivered?

Of course.

Perfect.

You can go home now.
