Taxi 2 Page #2

The food?

- The Pastis?

The soccer match!

You're a big bunch of nerds!

Our anti-gang training base!

The Japs have a problem

with the Jacuzzi... Yakuza...

who are even kidnapping

members of the government.

The Defence Secretary

visited England, Germany and France.

Let's get one thing clear:

the Krauts and the Limeys

mustn't win the contract.

Let's make this World Cup II!

l put together a detailed operation

which l will now explain.

l called it Operation...

Ninja!

He's got no more ammo.

Suddenly... no more ammo!

Well, that's only natural.

Yeah, only natural.

l turn to Raymond.

Here he is.

l shake him.

''Raymond, your ammo!'' l say.

No answer!

l shake him again!

Then...

he falls sideways.

Dead!

Terrible!

- My whole unit!

I'm alone.

Armoured car's on fire, radio's out

and my flask's half-empty!

Oh, no!

So, then what?

l prayed!

- Well done!

That's all l could do.

Only a miracle could save me!

A miracle!

We're saved!

Now what?

Edmond, the red phone!

The red phone?

Excuse me.

General Bertineau speaking.

It's you, Bertrand on the red phone?

Well done, Daniel.

You'll get dessert!

My God! l completely forgot!

No problem! I'll be there!

Catastrophe!

We'll wait.

- I'll be 1 hour!

l want you right now.

- Give me 20 seconds!

The airport, fast!

That's kinda long!

Catastrophe!

Dad!

You OK? You hurt?

Catastrophe!

She won't go so good now!

In 15 minutes I'm to greet Japan's

Defence Secretary. Catastrophe!

I'll get you there in time.

- Impossible!

Try me, sir!

Seatbelt, please, Dad.

Is this your ambulance?

- No, a taxi.

My brother loaned it to me.

Save me some dessert.

- You can have seconds!

Let's go.

- Sure!

We're crawling 'cause of these tires,

but they'll soon warm up!

Don't overheat!

Now look, kid.

This is the new Cortex 500.

The Rolls Royce of speed traps!

Turn it on.

Instant read-out.

Go to the roadside.

Put your arm out slightly.

You better learn on the old model.

We're on the highway?

- Now l can step on it!

You must like hospitals!

Catastrophe!

Chief! We got one!

A biggie:

l think it was a 406.

And not factory-fresh!

Tell others!

A white taxi at 206 mph.

l repeat 206 mph!

Yup, 206!

We'll get him!

You OK, sir?

It's him! l must get there!

Change of tactics!

What? This isn't it!

It's a short cut!

Hold on!

l have a UFO on Runway 1!

Yield to aircraft.

We have just landed.

Outside temperature: 95 degrees.

We hope

you enjoyed flying with us!

Excuse me, Captain,

a taxi's coming.

l can't hear over the noise!

l repeat:
taxi approaching.

l never ordered a taxi.

Did you?

No, but l know him.

Great!

Bertineau, why the taxi?

We lost a car.

This guy saved my life.

Con-ninny-a!

What?

- What you said.

God help me!

Glad to be here.

Thank you

for greeting me in Japanese.

Me, Gibert, protect you

during your vacation... uh, stay.

Our Secretary.

Say hi. This is he.

Dear fellow!

I'm honoured to meet you.

I'm a member of your security team.

We wish you a nice stay.

You speak very well.

A little.

lf l can help in any way, just ask.

Pleased to meet you.

Only the blonde girl

speaks Japanese.

l copy. Go back to base.

Let us offer you a cocktail.

This way.

Does your file say

you speak Japanese?

Below my measurements.

Guess l stopped there.

Do me a favour, son.

See that taxi there?

l sure do!

Love to, lady, but I'm busy.

Another time?

Always in the right place!

- Know that guy?

Bertineau, head of the Med. Basin.

Lilly's dad!

- No sh*t!

l was there for lunch.

Unbelievable!

- Yeah, l can't stand the army.

You couldn't stand cops.

- l still can't. l can't stand you!

Well, he seems to like you.

He wants you

to come to the cocktail party.

Half cops, half soldiers?

That's a nightmare!

Prefer half mechanics,

half gas station attendants?

Come on. The chat's the same:

cars, sport, chicks!

You'll fit in fine.

- I'd be ashamed.

Listen. lf Bertineau is Lilly's father,

he could end up your father-in-law.

What will he think if you say no?

One drink, no more.

Martini?

- My sister's name!

One for the road won't hurt you!

Domo arigato.

- The gateau is good.

Locally made.

Next to the station.

Excuse me.

I'll get you another.

Don't get him too stewed

to sign the contract.

No worries,

l know what I'm doing.

Just softening him up.

He's nearly done!

Is your plan ready?

Sir, it's hearsed

and rehearsed to death!

It's fine-turned to the second.

You're not all as l imagined.

No offence,

but a bright 2nd-year medical student...

l thought you'd be more...

Pimply?

-Right. And a slower driver!

Yes, he's the ''fastest'' doctor l know.

Well, I'm very grateful.

Gratefully indebted to you!

Ask me anything,

but Lilly's hand!

'Course not!

l can't think of anything else.

Valid 1 year, parts and labour!

Excuse me.

- Go ahead.

Emilien, start of Operation Ninja.

Petra, watch him.

- Watch me?

Friends with cops?

- No, only with one.

Good! It's rare.

Most youths are anti-cops...

anti-army, anti-everything!

They want to kill the father figure.

Sir, my patients are waiting.

Wait! 5 more minutes.

You'll find this very interesting.

Selling the Japs Peugeot?

- Nothing's impossible!

This is the Cobra.

Specially designed

to protect visiting dignitaries.

Titanium bodywork.

The multiple side panels

can resist any bullet!

Missile detectors,

front and back!

Coating:
Phantom!

Solid tires!

It's linked to the Atlas satellite...

and if necessary,

can be piloted from HQ.

Now, the engine.

Ninja!

Nice noise for a V12.

V12 engine, twin turbos.

Voice-activated!

Top speed:
210 mph!

Range:
550 miles.

Paris-Marseille.

Ladies and gentleman,

this car is like France:

indestructible!

That's just 'cause we set it

to ultra-sensitive.

It's usually on normal!

See the balloons?

Useful against thieves!

Get him out!

Tell him not to worry.

He needs the bathroom.

Bertrand, go with him.

- Yes, sir.

It'll be good as new

in no time.

Will he?

Now who'll drive it?

Sir, l have a young civilian driver.

He's very good. I'll vouch for him.

Banco!

Before your tour of the town, I'll show

you our latest computing innovation.

Gimme that!

Wear this.

- It'll cramp my style.

Even a cretin with mitts on

could drive this baby!

Take him away!

- No, it's OK.

Told you!

- Never mind. No one'll see.

Go on! Ninja!

How do you stop it?

- You just have to say ''Nip''.

Ninja!

The mission's simple. We prepared

a demonstration. With fake attacks!

Like the ghost train?

- Yes, so as to impress the Nip.

Above all, don't worry.

Let things happen.

lf the Nip...

Don't play while I'm talking.

- You keep saying ''Nip''!

Great!

- Not bad.

Sir, we shall now escort you

to your hotel.

Get in!

Up sh*t creek again!

Forward!

They're here.

On this road.

It's going as planned.

Very good, Katano.

Let me hear them.

Spring Roll, come in.

Hey, Emilien, come in!

Do you read me?

- Loud 'n' clear.

We just left for the 1st trap.
