To your health!

We can't hear ourselves talk!

We're going to treat ourselves to a good dose of "perniflard"!

Oh nom di Diou! The Mayor!

Good morning, Mr. Mayor...

Well then...

You didn't want to see Mr. Mayor, eh...?

Ah, you old-timers...

Ooooh...not a dull moment, eh?

Hands on the "apro", and it's not even noon...!

So this is how old workers while away their retirement!

You'll drink a toast with us, won't you?

That's an offer I can't refuse!

Anyway, Mr. Mayor, what brings you over... no problems, I hope...

Oh no, it's more like good news!

Wait!... wait!

I have to explain the situation as it is!

Maybe you haven't heard, since you live away from the village...

but what this community needs is economic expansion!

What all French villages lack is... economic expansion!

And what is more, an economic expansion that will create jobs!

That's something that didn't exist in your youth!

My dear co-citizens and friends, listen carefully, it concerns you...

You know about the housing project "Les Gourdiflets"?

Oh, our ears are still ringing...!

Well, to make this housing project complete,

we're going to create right here, where you live,

an entertainment park!

There'll be restaurants, pubs, swings, everything you need to have fun!

For everything, people will have to pay!

They'll have to take out their wallets every two minutes!

Instead of Le Glaude's shack... a parking lot...

...4000 cars!!

And instead of Le Glaude's fields...

And instead of my shack, what's there going to be?

"The Rock of the Monkeys"!!!

Get the hell out!

You piece of sh*t... get the hell out!

Ah, I warned them at the municipal coucil

that you would be troublemakers, just to spite us!

If you weren't old and sick, I would have you expropriated!

But don't laugh too soon, Chrasse and Ratinier...

...very soon we'll win!

The bulldozers and the shovels, they'll be roaring in your ears, I guarantee you that!

Out!

Human wrecks...pile of old bones...Me! Out?

You'll be happy on Sundays

when people will watch you through the fence

and will throw you peanuts for fun, old wrecks!

I told you so, that I'd make your life hell, old fossils...

and when you'll be at the cemetary,

our community, having gotten rid of you deadweights

will finally be able to spread the wings of economic expansion!!!

Old fossils! I'll cook your goose, I will!

The two nitwits! The two nitwits! The two nitwits!...

Oh no, no, no...I can't anymore...I can't anymore...

No, no,no...It's over, it's over, its over...

Wait..a little "canon"!

a little "canon"...

Tell me, Cicisse, how would you like to live 200 years?

You're talking nonsense...

No, I'm just asking you one single thing...

would you like to live till age 200?

Well, certainly not here!

That's the thing...it wouldn't happen here...

Would it be on the moon, I'd pack up my bundle right away!

Only one thing would bother me, my Glaude: to leave you here, drinking all by yourself...

for 130 years!

That's why we'd leave together, with the cat too!

He too would live to be 200?

Of course! So you agree?

Yes!...Yes!...Yes! Mon Gla!

Let's get the hell out, Mon Gla!

Oxo? Earth!

Oxo? Earth!

OXO? EARTH!

You're there, La Denre?

I'm here, Le Glaude!

La Denre, there's news!

Le Bomb is willing to go, and with the cat!

And you, Le Glaude?

Well, if the cat and Le Bomb leave, I follow them, of course!

At last, at last, you give me "pleasure", Le Glaude!

Le Bomb is here, talk to him!

So, tinker with you airwaves so he can hear you and see the box!

I'm calling back in 2 minutes!

OK, I'll bring him over!

Sit yourself here so you won't hit the floor with your ass!

Look!...Look!

I can't see anything...

I can't hear anything...

Shut up! Don't disturb the airwaves!

Look!

Mr. Chrasse...

Mr. Chrasse...

Oxo! Earth?

Oxo! Earth?

This is La Denre...are you there, Mr. Chrasse?

Say yes, dummy!

Well, yes...it's me...

Don't be afraid, Mr. Chrasse!

I'm not afraid...

Do you want to live 200 years, Mr. Chrasse?

I'd be very grateful...

Ahhh, I'm so happy, Mr. Chrasse, with your decision!

Happy...happy!

I'll come tonight at midnight for your departure...

Le Glaude! You'll introduce to me Mr. Chrasse!

Yes!

Will there be soup?

We'll make some!

Will there be a little "canon" to drink?

There'll even be two!

See you soon, Mr. Chrasse!

So that's it!

What do you say, old nut?

I'd like to...

I'd like to...

If I don't drink a "canon" right away...

I'll be in a bad way!

I'm going to the post-office!

You'll be back, won't you?

You won't leave me all alone...

In one minute!

Madame......registered......

Francine!

There's registered mail for you, I signed for you...

so, put it aside and come back on the double!

My dear Francine, I'm going on a trip, it would take too long to explain...

Here are a 3 or 4 pennies that I'm sending you...

because where I'm going, they're not needed...

which is not your case...

Put them in a savings account, where they'll multiply...

Don't show them to your motorcyclist...

it's not because you know me that you know men...

Beware of them like cholera, they're all liars,... thieves, and the like...

I kiss you tenderly, and repeat once more...

...Be happy! Your old Glaude.

Let me introduce...

Mr. La Denre...

...Mr. Chrasse...

Hop in!
