We don't want to scare them.
Come in and get warm.
Is that the inn?
Oops, the sandwiches.
No, it's over there.
The old, rickety one.
Typical, isn't it, darling?
Hello there!
C'mon in before
you freeze to a frazzle!
Watch how you talk
or they won't understand.
They aren't used to our accent.
Please. Do come in.
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon.
Strip off and thaw.
Let me take your coats.
Let me help you.
- Thank you.
Thanks, I'll keep mine on.
Mr. Martin, Ma'am,
as Mayor of St. Simone du Nord,
I'm extremely pleased
to welcome you officially.
We're so happy to meet you!
Shall we French-kiss?
don't you think?
Oh dear, he's scaring
May I introduce Killer?
No, the dog.
My faithful hound.
That's Steven, my son. He's 27.
In 3 years he'll be 30 and
all grown up. If we're lucky.
Wow, cool!
- That's half his vocabulary.
That's not cool!
- That's the other half.
Michel, he's not a retard.
That's the way young people
talk these days.
Go back and finish
what you were doing, dear.
What?
Shove off.
No, thank you.
You'll be pleased to know
this is an offer to buy the inn.
A generous offer,
since it's falling to pieces.
That's not your fault.
But we can't leave you
with a dump
like that on your hands.
Also, I feel a bit responsible.
We really liked your aunt... er...
Jeanne.
- That's right.
No, thank you.
When I saw your suitcases,
I figured you'd be staying
for a few days.
Let me stop you right there.
We're not staying a few days.
No?
You'll be pleased to hear
that we're not going back.
We're staying.
What do you mean, staying?
From the verb "to stay" .
The opposite of "to leave".
We're staying.
Yes! We're taking over
Aunt Jeanne's inn.
Oh.
Aren't you pleased?
Steven, turn off that damned
video, it's driving me nuts!
I've told you time and again!
I'll bust it over your friggin' head!
Typical.
Delighted.
Never been
so delighted in my life.
Thrilled to death.
Daddy, we should go.
Our friends are tired.
Give us the key.
- What for?
Didn't you hear? We're tired.
Gimme the key to the inn.
Daddy!
They're staying. Blast it.
It's pretty. It's picturesque.
Oh, no. We just witnessed
an intergenerational conflict.
Would you undo this?
They're country people.
They don't express their emotions.
I can't get a signal.
- There's a phone and power.
No, I'm sure we'll all
get along beautifully.
It really is
the back of beyond.
They're staying, blast them.
They're moving into my inn!
It's not really your inn.
They don't want to sell.
I am not going to have another
generation of Frenchies in my inn.
Don't be like that!
I think they look nice.
Lulu, no more aliens
in St. Simone. Ever again.
My mouth hurts.
My whole face hurts.
I can't talk all pinched
like that for long.
You see?
They'll last a week.
Then they'll be gone.
Count on it.
Shall we go up
to that big double bed?
If you lock the door,
sweetie.
Oh no. Everything is frozen.
The dolt - I told him not to
leave the luggage in the cold.
It's so droll.
Look, it's frozen stiff.
Very funny.
Just look at my cream.
Hard as a rock. It's ruined.
It's good for nothing now.
What are you doing up so early?
I'm watching my inn.
You and your inn!
If your father hadn't been
so stingy, and so dumb...
He shouldn't have had
to buy his brothers out.
He was the eldest.
He should have
inherited it automatically.
Well, well, look who's here.
If it isn't Michel Dolbec.
It's been a while.
Did somebody die?
Yes and no. Those Frenchies
slept at my inn last night.
Your inn? Your inn?
The inn doesn't belong
to anybody now.
Before that Frenchwoman had it,
it was my grandfather's,
and it was built on
my great-grandfather's land.
Quit whining, Michel Dolbec.
Anyone can buy it.
Not if the Frenchies move in.
Not if they won't sell.
Not if they stay.
If they want to stay,
it's no skin off your nose.
What do you mean, if they stay?
Stay.
From the verb
"not go back home" . Get it?
Big Joe.
If you help me get rid of them,
I'll see that you get helluva plumbing
contract from the municipality.
Start by giving back the one
you cancelled last year.
That wasn't my decision.
The town council decided that,
I'll have you know.
Go ahead. Let him in.
Come in.
Shut the door.
It's cold outside.
Aliens!
I'll tell you this: no way are
Frenchies going to settle here.
It's our home,
and we're a family.
We must protect our village,
the land of our ancestors.
They're planning to buy up
everything and tear it down,
Don't we have enough already?
It starts with an inn,
and next thing you know
they've bought the whole province.
Yes, Mario.
Excuse me, Mr. Mayor. But...
Yes?
Aren't the French our ancestors?
The Frenchies came yesterday
and they're about my age.
Who ever heard of ancestors
the same age as us?
Where did you get
an idea like that?
Any more smart questions?
Yeah!
- Yes, Mo.
Are we going to get
The municipal council has always
opposed a snowmobile trail.
I said so during the election
campaign and I'll say it again.
It attracts foreigners
who drive like maniacs.
Make a snowshoe trail instead.
A snowshoe crash
is less painful.
Anyway, that's not what
we're here to discuss.
Yes, Steven?
Are we gonna get a
snowmobile trail this year?
Blast it, didn't you hear
what I just said?
Pay attention, dear.
Never mind the snowmobile trail.
I'm talking about
the red, white and blue peril!
But what can we do?
I'll tell you.
There's an old French... er...
...Chinese proverb that says
keep your friends close to you
and your enemies even closer.
Did you get that?
Any more questions?
Aunt Jeanne...
Thank you.
Darling, it's almost Nirvana!
The plumbing is finished,
the bathroom's a wreck,
and all the doors stick.
Good! We start from scratch!
- Oh, yes.
Company! Who can it be?
- Wow. The suspense!
Mr. Mayor!
What a pleasant surprise.
Good morning, sir! Ma'am...
- Morning.
Mr. Martin, allow me to wish you
We figured that
the French eat croissants.
So here they are.
Oh! Thank you, that's very kind.
Thanks so much.
With a nice hot coffee,
they're something else.
No.
Thank you.
I'm sure we'll enjoy them.
Goodbye!
One more thing...
So they don't get stale.
Have a lovely day.
They're not so dumb.
It may be harder than you think
to stay close to your enemies.
Quit clowning and come on.
Okay. Don't get
your knickers in a twist.
You'll have a heart attack.
Right. I started a to-do list.
How can you eat that?
It's not fit for a dog.
Daddy!
You gave that muck to Pekoe?
That's disgusting!
- It's very good.
Don't you realize?
Pekoe is French!
It'll make him sick!
After that muck,
what's he brought now?
Daddy, I'm telling you
I don't like that man.
