You're two innocent tourists.

Get on your bikes

and follow them everywhere.

-It's very beautiful.

-Very enjoyable.

We're almost out of tobacco.

We need to open a sock.

Take the tobacco from my

jacket first, before it goes dry.

Hand me Maurice's jacket.

-Everything's got its spot.

-And every man to his trade.

I'm warning you. Next time

you do that, I'll kick you.

-I didn't do it on purpose.

-Leave the girl in peace.

-What about some snuff...

-Cut in little pieces.

Bloody idiot.

-Be careful.

-No dessert for you.

I don't like cake anyway.

-I think you lost something.

-Thank you.

That speaks for itself.

You're honest or you're not.

-This way.

-Put down your luggage.

If you knew what's in here...

Something very valuable.

Our favourite tobacco.

We can't do without.

Sit down.

-Would you like a drink?

-I'll get a bottle of Beaujolais.

That must be the jacket

we're looking for.

-Do you want some tobacco?

-No, I don't smoke.

You? Have some. You'll

love it. Smell this.

-Nice here, isn't it?

-The diamond's in the right pocket.

Come a bit closer.

Don't be afraid.

Serve yourself.

Stay here.

Have some. Smell it. It's good.

Where are you going?

You fell. Come on.

Did you hurt yourself?

These are the gentlemen who

saved our tobacco.

-I'll get some more glasses.

-My wife.

-I'm Gonzals.

-Nice to meet you.

Do you need your jacket?

I'll hang it in the closet.

You'd forget it and it

could get stolen.

Cheers.

-We couldn't get to his jacket.

-They're too many. We couldn't do it.

Congratulations.

They're hard to crack.

I have an idea. We have to get to that

jacket no matter what.

To do that, we have to lure them

away from the caravan.

We'll invite the entire family.

When they're all here, you

can get the diamond from the jacket.

That's not a bad idea at all.

I don't see them anywhere.

There they are.

-They're all here.

-Let's search the caravan.

No need. He's wearing the jacket.

-The jacket with the diamond.

-Perfect. It'll be ours again soon.

Put on your glasses. They can't

recognise you. You're customers.

Good evening. I reserved the

best table for you.

What a reception.

When I meet Parisians,

I get sentimental.

-You're a Parisian?

-From Pigalle.

I thought I knew that face.

-Take off your coat. It's warm.

-Yes, it's very warm. Take it off.

-I'd rather keep it on.

-We've got a cloakroom.

-Make yourself comfortable.

-The thing is... I'm wearing braces.

-So what?

-It doesn't look good.

What would you like to drink?

Trust me. I've got great

local wine. Specialty of the house.

Dangerous for women,

refreshing for men.

-You'll like it.

-It's a very special wine.

How clumsy. Give me your jacket.

I'll take it to the cloakroom.

-You're very keen to undress my husband.

-I'm only trying to help.

-Make it really strong.

-No problem.

We'll look after them.

-He'll be sweating.

-You bet.

Manuel, it's finished.

Pour two normal glasses,

one for Myriam and one for me.

When they're drunk,

we'll get that jacket easily.

-It's really nice.

-I hope so.

-With bubbles, I see.

-Indeed.

-I hope you like it.

-Have my glass.

-A cigarette?

-No, I only smoke pipe.

-To your health.

-It has to be drunk in one hit.

They're not used to anything.

Doesn't taste bad.

A bit light, but good.

Shall I pour you some more?

Can I have this dance, madam?

Do you want to dance?

-You don't dance?

-Daddy... doesn't... dance. I... I...

I beg your pardon?

I certainly do dance.

-Aren't you asking me?

-Don't.

-I'm thirsty.

-You'll get a gre... grenadine.

-Waiter, one gre... grenadine for her.

-We don't have that.

So in Gra... Gra... Granada

they don't have grenadine?

-Drink water then.

-I don't want water. Give me.

And end up under the table?

Loser.

What a surprise.

I'll talk to you later.

Somebody's going to perform.

-Where are the children?

-They must have gone for a walk.

Nicole can't dance,

so it's no fun for them.

They can get some fresh air.

-He handles it well.

-We'll get him.

The owners of La Corrida

are happy to present to you...

...the famous dancing trio

Les Cervantes and their guitarists...

...in a flamenco and a dance

from Sevilla. A hand for Les Cervantes.

Do you have a light?

-What a clown.

-Not bad though.

You have to admit he's

doing that well.

-The booze has an effect on him.

-Definitely.

He's really great.

-I knew he could dance the java well.

-But this is a Spanish java.

-He's holding his own.

-Wait a moment.

-What are you going to do?

-I have an idea.

-What does that big guy want?

-Take of your jacket if you dare.

The jacket. This is our chance.

I've got the black belt, buddy.

Dear listeners, we're covering the final

of the world championships rugby.

The man from Granada is pursued

by the Parisian.

Will he do it? Yes, no, yes.

The Parisian's running away.

Will he score?

What a match, listeners.

Will the little Parisian

get past the lady?

This match was offered to you

by Space Rocket Company Toc.

The address for your future

trips to the moon: Toc.

That was it.

We'll never come here again.

What a night. I won't easily

forget the nightclubs of Granada.

It's you.

-Would you like to go swimming with me?

-Absolutely.

Wake up.

I can hear people talk.

Quick, Jacques gets in with the blonde.

Hurry up. Get up.

Where did he go?

I left a note saying that I...

I've gone sw... swimming with...

Since you're awake,

I'll tell you right away.

If you care for your son,

return the diamond before 12 o'clock.

-Which diamond? You're mad...

-You've heard enough.

-What's happening?

-Let's go.

Go where?

Put the boy in the back

and tie him down.

-Mathilde, don't you have a headache?

-Yes, I do.

-We shouldn't drink so much.

-Terrible.

-It even feels like we're driving.

-Yes, it does.

-We'll never catch up with them.

-Just watch me.

He's got a sunstroke.

Go through the city. I want

to see him follow us there.

The bastard.

-I think I have a delirium.

-Why, do you see mice?

Yes, black mice.

Stop, police.

The police will come after us.

That would be good for a change.

I hope he doesn't hurt him.

-It's working.

-What's working?

My turbo compressor.

Faster. He's catching up with us.

Go.

-We're going into the mountains.

-Do you think we can follow them?

-I don't see them anymore.

-They can't keep up uphill.

The police.

We'll never get that diamond now.

Let's throw the pipsqueak out

and get away from here.

You can't leave me here, Myriam.

Stop.

-Did they hurt you?

-That's what you get from womanizing.

-Why did you do that?

-To do you a favour.

We were almost dead.

This is all I could save.

Hands up.

The stolen diamond from Paris.

Paris

six months later

They thought we were thieves

and locked us up.

It took a while before they believed

us and released us.

That's why our holiday

lasted half a year.

But the craziest thing about it is

that they never caught the thieves.

-Excuse me.

-Let's go.
