My Best Friend Page #6

It's my final... You should do a question

on famous last words.

- Sorry. What?

- For example.

Elvis Presley's last words were:

"I'm gonna read on the john."

It's true!

It's worth a thought. Bruno. Thanks.

Thanks a lot.

The correct answer

is

answer

C. For Citroen!

Well done.

I think it's A. The diplodocus.

Of course it is. Right answer!

I know it's Scooby-Doo.

And you're right.

Scooby-Doo is correct.

My guess is B.

Chicken Victoria.

It's your final answer?

Chicken Final is my answer. Victoria.

Sorry.

Bruno. If your answer is right.

You have won -

come what may -

The right answer

is

Chicken Victoria!

Bruno. This is a unique moment

in the history of the game.

We've reached - you've reached -

the top of the pyramid

to face the final question

for one million euros

without using

even one of your lifelines!

Ready? This question is worth

one million euros.

Which painter did not take part

in the first exhibition

of Impressionists in 1874?

Czanne?

Renoir?

Manet? Monet?

F***!

- Sorry.

- It's OK.

- It's a tough question.

- Worth a million euros!

You're a brilliant contestant.

But if you're in doubt...

- I'm not.

- I'm impressed. No pun intended.

- I've no idea. I quit.

- No. No. No.

You're allowed to use a lifeline.

- I know. But I'd rather...

- Quit with three unused lifelines?

No. That would be idiotic.

I'll use the 50:
50.

Good! That's sensible. Computer.

Please remove two wrong answers.

You're left with Manet and Monet.

That clears the air.

Manet or Monet?

It does?

- I'll Ask the Audience.

- OK.

Audience. Get ready to vote.

But only if you know the answer.

Ready. Go!

Oh. Dear.

The audience is deeply split.

Let me recap.

Either you quit now

and keep 300.000 euros.

A very tidy sum.

Or you pick an answer

and run the risk of falling back to 48.000.

But you still have one more lifeline.

- Phone.

- Phone a Friend. Of course.

Phone a Friend!

- I'd better quit.

- Wait!

Please sit down. Why quit now?

- I've won a lot.

- I know!

More than I could ever earn in a taxi.

You must have a friend

who can help you.

Nobody can help.

I have no friends.

Your Bruno is gold dust!

The ratings are sky high.

He's touched people's hearts.

Well. Bruno?

I'll phone a friend.

- Are you sure?

- Yes.

You look a little bit upset.

Not because of the game.

Who do we phone?

Franois.

Right. Phone your friend.

He's no friend.

But he may know the answer.

Listen. Don't worry.

- Yes?

- Hello. This is Jean-Pierre Foucault.

- Who?

- He's pulling your leg.

I'm here with Bruno.

- I guess you're watching Millionaire.

- No.

Even so. We need you

for the million-euro question.

Here's your friend Bruno.

Yes. Here's Bruno.

Hello. Franois.

- I didn't think you'd call.

- Me neither.

You weren't top

of my list of friends.

I guess not.

Still. I'm glad we can talk.

It's not about that.

I have a question on art.

I hope you can answer it.

Are you listening?

- Are you still there?

- Yes.

I'd like to thank you

for helping my daughter.

- Not at all.

- Although I should have done it.

Right.

You were too busy with your bet.

If criticism's all I get.

I may as well hang up.

Be my guest.

- Do we hit the clock?

- No! Let it run. I'm the boss!

You're angry. Sure.

I stabbed you in the back.

But I didn't know

your other friend did too.

- Don't give me "friend."

- Just let me say...

Be quiet.

You are - you were - my only friend.

Don't make me cry.

In The Little Prince.

The fox says:

"If you tame me. We'll need each other."

You'll be unique for me.

And I'll be unique for you."

How did you know that?

Tell me you're not too angry.

I need to hear you say it.

I'm not too angry with you.

I was at the time. But...

Sorry to barge in

on your privacy. Bruno.

But maybe we should

get back to the question?

Of course.

Franois. Here's the question.

Which one of these two painters

did not take part

in the Impressionist exhibition of 1874?

Manet or Monet?

- You understand the question?

- Yes.

So?

It was Manet.

- Not a shadow of a doubt?

- Not a shadow.

OK. Bye.

Bye.

Hold it.

You might want to thank him.

Hello. Franois?

I... Hello?

So?

I'll go for

answer C. Manet.

It's my final answer.

If it's wrong. Bruno.

You've lost 952.000 euros

and won only 48.000.

But if you're right.

You've won a million euros.

The answer. For a million euros. Is

Manet! You were right!

One million euros!

A million euros! Well done.

ONE YEAR LATER:

Thank you. Friends.

- Happy birthday.

- Isn't that...

Thank you.

- It's a beauty!

- Blow!

Magnificent.

Happy birthday. Franois.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Excuse me.

Could I have the bill. Please?

It's already been paid

by that gentleman.

Happy birthday. Franois.

Thank you.

What are you doing here?

It's as good as anywhere.

Even your slice of heaven?

It was a slice of hell.

And your million?

It goes fast.

Especially if you're not in the habit.

So. You're back driving a taxi?

It's what I do best.

I brought you a gift.

- Should I open it?

- Sure.

- Like it?

- Yes.

- Who's that?

- Dad's best friend.

I thought we had to watch

our braking distance.

I see your daughter is back.

As if you didn't know.

I had no idea.

So. You came here tonight

by chance?

Absolutely by chance. Yes.

- Why?

- No reason.

It's a happy coincidence. That's all.

- Want to hear the best bit?

- Go on.

- Remember your vase?

- That you demolished.

Yeah.

You said it was unique. Right?

Well. We had drinks

with the producer after the show.

And there was your vase.

- My vase?

- No. But one exactly like it.

Are you sure?

I looked. It was the spitting image.

- Do those vases come in pairs?

- Not normally. No.

See? Maybe you paid a fortune for a fake.

Don't you believe me?

You don't? How much do you bet?

- No more bets!

- Just a friendly bet?

OK. A friendly bet!
