The Family
Who's that?
How should I know?
Papa.
Hello? Hello?
Hello?
The only real question we should
ask ourselves during our existence is
how much is a man's life worth?
Knowing what you're worth is like
knowing what day you're gonna die.
Me? I'm worth $20 million,
and I'd hand over every last dollar
to get my old life back.
Sweetie? Wake up, we're here.
- F***. It's about time.
- Warren. Language.
Mom, we've been on the road 11 hours
and it smells like
a skunk's butt-crack back here.
That's no reason to talk like a punk.
- It's the dog.
Yeah. No kidding it's the dog.
If you washed him once in a while
like I asked you to,
we wouldn't have this problem.
Yeah, yeah.
- Next, on the left.
- There are no numbers.
No, I know. Stansfield said that.
That's it, yeah.
No, no, the left, and then...
That's it up there. Right.
Over here.
Yeah.
That's it.
No electricity?
No, there is, but they must have
turned the power off.
- Mom, what are you doing?
- Scaring the rats away.
- There are rats here?
- Who knows? You never know.
- I'm not staying here if there are rats.
- Belle, don't start, please.
Anyway, your father can't stand them.
Give him 24 hours,
he'll have killed
every single rodent in the place.
Ah!
Belle, you're upstairs on the right.
Warren, opposite your sister.
- It's cold here.
- Well, I'll make a fire.
Huh?
- Tomorrow, they said.
- "Tomorrow," that's their favorite word.
Hey, you two, don't chew me out
whenever anything is missing.
Go see, talk to them yourselves.
Does anybody know
what this place is called?
Cholong-sur-Avre, Normandy.
The Avre part is a river.
Besides our boys landing here in '44,
- Camembert.
- Calvados.
Mm.
The Riviera had both those things,
and sunshine.
Yeah, so did Paris.
Yeah, right. But here is where we live
now, where they make the cheese,
and that's it,
so get used to the real world.
Malavita?
There you are. Good dog.
Hey, hon.
You want a hand with the bags?
No, no, no, I got it, I got it.
Get the kids to sleep, they gotta
get ready for school tomorrow.
OK.
I know it wasn't you,
but I couldn't say nothing.
Where the hell did you go?
- Checking out the property.
- It's so big?
Just getting my bearings.
I was trying to help the dog
find himself a spot.
- Tomorrow, I'll find mine.
- Oh, good.
No cereals, no toast, no peanut butter.
So you'll have to make do
with the apple donuts
I got from the bakery this morning.
- Where's this school at?
- I've drawn them a map.
- Do we still have the same names?
- No, we are the Blake family.
Cool.
Just in case.
- Your hair is damp.
- Mom, it's fine.
- Have a good day.
- Bye, Dad.
Love you.
- Love you too.
I'm gonna go check out the town
- and get some groceries.
- All right.
Try not to slob around all day
in your robe, OK?
- No, 'cause of the neighbors?
- No, for your morale.
My morale is OK, honey. Don't worry
about me. I'm just a little out of it,
but you adjust more easily
than I do to these things.
What do we say
if we run into the neighbors?
Just give me some time to think
about that. In the meantime,
just give them a nice smile, and that'll
give us time to come up with an idea.
And Stansfield asked me to make sure
that you don't step outside
the front gate.
- Until when?
- Until he gets here.
And you're not supposed to mention
the Riviera.
Where are we from then?
The States, sweetie.
This is not looking good.
Yeah, we're playing
- We'll debrief at lunch?
- OK.
OK.
- Voil.
- Mm. Thank you, miss.
Is there anything in this area
worth seeing?
You know, museum, monument?
There is
uh, at Verneuil.
Um... There's St. Cecilia's Church,
uh, with it, mm, 15th century
stained-glass windows.
Oh. Can I walk there from here?
No. It's next town, 20 kilometers.
Next town...
- You're the Yank?
- What do you want?
If you're American, you must be rich.
Wow, you must have read
some pretty big books
to get to be the big intellectual.
You gonna act the smartass with us,
are you?
OK, can we just cut to the chase here?
What game are you in?
Bullying, protection, shakedowns?
You got a monopoly
or do you divvy up the market?
What do you reinvest your dough in?
Welcome to Cholong, Yankee.
Sorry, any what?
Du beurre de cacahute...
Peanut butter.
Ah. No, we don't stock
stuff like that, lady.
I was only asking.
I'm sorry,
but where might I find the pasta?
On the end, on the right,
after the dog food.
- Merci.
- You're welcome.
MAN:
WOMAN 1:
WOMAN 2:
WOMAN 1:
That makes 92 francs, please.
Keep the change.
Oh...
- Is it any good?
- I think it's edible.
So how is the recon going?
- It's fine.
- Shoot.
Well, the four jerks
that were hitting on you before,
they're in the 12th grade,
and they organize the summer prom.
Remind me not to attend.
The big guy with the cap,
he's the rugby team captain.
He'd do anything to get good grades
in math,
and he's friends with Jimi Hendrix.
Who's in love with the girl
with the pink ribbon in her hair.
And the girl coming
straight from Gotham City,
on cigarettes.
The gossip girls over by the window,
they're the sister of the son of a b*tch
