MY UNCLE ANTOINE
ASBESTOS-MINING COUNTRY IN
QUEBEC PROVINCE NOT SO LONG AGO...
Damn this lousy clutch!
I've been after them
for two months to fix it.
I've about had it.
One of these days
I'm gonna shove it over the edge.
- Mario.
- What?
- Pass me a wrench.
- There isn't one.
An iron rod, anything.
It's filthy. I can't see a thing.
They never clean it.
"Maintenance" my ass!
Hey, Jos, it's the boss!
Tell him to go to hell.
"Maintenance" my ass!
- That may be truer than you think.
- What did he say?
I don't know.
I don't speak English.
Your hat.
Hold your hat up.
- Close the door, Benoit.
- Yes, Uncle.
Euclid was a good Christian,
and the whole village knew it.
They've offered 15 high masses
and 25 low masses.
You can set
your heart at ease.
Listen to this.
Oscar Moisan
offered a low mass.
Those two were like
cats and dogs.
Here's a good one.
The widow Pelletier,
one high mass at three bucks.
We all know why.
Stop wasting time, Fernand.
The priest is waiting.
Come on!
Fernand, take this.
Stop singing.
You're getting on my nerves!
Sorry.
Fernand, fix your tie.
Come on, Fernand.
Hurry up.
SCREW YOU, DUPLESSIS
YVETTE GIVES HEAD
What did I miss?
about Euclid!
He went so fast.
You call that fast? Christ!
He'd been rotting away
for 25 years.
Same thing's gonna happen
to you bunch of idiots.
- Not me, that's for sure.
- I'm not gonna end up that way.
There's another one
the English won't get.
To hell with them all!
The English, Euclid,
the undertaker, the priest,
the boss, the whole gang.
I'm getting the hell out.
Leave the mine again
and they won't take you back.
To hell with 'em all!
I won't spend my life
kissing their ass.
I'm off.
Gugusse, what do I owe you?
Take it out of that.
See ya.
Who'll do the milking
and feeding every morning?
And the kids won't see you
for six months.
I can't take it anymore.
I've gotta go.
I'll be back in the spring.
- Yeah, like always.
It's always for you
to decide, huh?
Yeah.
- Hi, Pa!
- Hello, kids.
Listen...
I'm going up
to the logging camp.
Be good to your mother.
Try to give her a hand.
I've gotta go.
I'm fed up with the mine.
It's different up there.
Peace and quiet.
The woods, the snow.
No boss to get on your back.
Pa, a case of beans!
Take it home to your mother.
You'll be eating beans
for a week.
I'm going back with the others.
Listen...
I'll send you
to school next year, okay?
I don't know.
- See ya, son.
- See ya.
See ya, Pa!
See you, Serge.
Good morning, Father.
Good morning.
GENERAL STORE:
- Fernand?
- Good morning, Madam Ccile.
You're so early.
There's a lot to do.
Decorations,
the window, the nativity scene.
That's true.
Would you pass me some tea?
I'm all out upstairs.
What kind do you want?
We've got all kinds.
We've got Lipton, Salada...
Make it quick, Fernand.
Salada.
What's that there?
A barrel of nails
they delivered last night.
Well, I'm going
to have my breakfast.
See you later.
Enjoy your breakfast.
Look who's here.
Hi, Fernand.
Benoit, take these nails
upstairs right away.
You might say
"good morning."
Good morning.
Now take the barrel up.
I can't. My arm's in a cast.
Excuses, excuses.
Well, if it isn't the new hired help
acting like a princess.
You're hired help too, clerk.
Didn't you buy any jam?
What's that?
You know I don't like that brand.
You didn't say
good morning to Benoit.
- Good morning, my foot.
- Same to you.
I'll take this,
but buy the other kind, okay?
Come right back down, Carmen,
and help Benoit.
If I feel like it.
We've got decorations, lights,
garlands, gifts, wrapping paper.
Unpack it all and call me
when you're through.
I'll take care of it.
- Some are broken.
- Fine.
Throw 'em out.
I've come to do my bills.
Don't you do that
in the office?
It's too noisy.
What is it?
That dress you're wearing.
It's pretty.
Really?
It's nothing.
Don't you need glasses?
Me?
Isn't anyone here this morning?
I'm here, Uncle.
No one's taken
these nails upstairs?
I can't with my cast.
Where's Fernand?
Haven't seen him.
- Your aunt?
- Haven't seen her either.
Fine way to start a day!
In my father's garden
There's an orange tree
So full of oranges
We fear it may die
I'm in love, hey nonny no
My heart is gay
I hear singing and dancing
For heaven's sake,
what's gotten into you this morning?
These accounts don't add up.
They're off by $30. 14.
- What do you mean?
There's got to be a bill missing.
Look for yourself.
Fernand, I really don't...
Good God, Antoine,
you scared me!
What are you doing here? You haven't
shaved or even gotten dressed!
Don't just sit there!
We've got a big day ahead!
Come on, get going.
You've gotta call the tinsmith,
bring up vegetables from the cellar...
$30. 14. It just can't be.
There's got to be
a bill missing for sure.
- I'll make you say uncle.
- I give up, okay?
These nails
have to go upstairs.
- Did you find Aunt Ccile?
- Yeah, 30 years ago.
What's going on here?
Haven't you done anything?
My God, with all there is to do!
I always have to do
everything myself.
For heaven's sake, Antoine,
get moving and help me.
There's the presents,
the nativity scene, the tree, the bells.
Come on now.
We're in a rush.
You weren't in a rush
a minute ago.
Some boxes are missing.
I can't find the figures for the nativity.
Careful with the Virgin Mary.
She's touchy.
Where's Baby Jesus?
Here comes the Holy Spirit.
He'll know.
Let's not waste time.
I'll be in the office.
I've got things to do.
So now you're in a rush too?
Hold it.
There. We got it.
It's nice, huh?
We can make snow balls
to decorate it.
Come along.
Wait for me!
Marcel is sick!
Benoit, put these sweaters
on the shelf.
These are girls' sweaters.
I don't do that.
- These too.
- What have you got on your face?
Makes you look cheap.
Watch it!
Hey nonny nonny no
- How many flowers are left?
- Seven.
Stupid idiot.
Careful, Benoit.
You'll break your other arm...
or something else.
Benoit, come here.
Let's see if the curtain works.
- What do I do?
- Wait a minute.
Pull the cord, but not too fast.
Wait till I tell you.
Not yet!
Wait till I tell you!
Little jerk.
Now!
Okay. Close it.
Perfect. It's just right.
Now for the decorations.
Take the ladder away.
No, don't put snow on yet,
sweetheart.
Wait till Baby Jesus is in place.
First I place St. Joseph.
Madam Ccile,
I'm going to move the bulbs around.
Good idea, Carmen.
You have good taste.
Now for the Virgin Mary,
and Baby Jesus in the center.
The nativity scene
is so beautiful this year.
- Jesus doesn't look too good.
- No, he doesn't.
He had an accident.
We dropped him.
But he's so small,
it won't show.
- I'll put some snow over here.
- Now you can.
It's lovely.
That's enough snow now.
All right, let's go.
- What are you looking for?
