Understand?

Aunt Roberte... she's doing fine.

She's doing fine...

Sorry, she's dead.

She actually died.

But aunt Olga on the other hand

is doing marvelous.

What?

Aunt Louqui, it's aunt Louqui.

And?

She's my niece

Micheline's mother.

All I know about it

is what happened in Congo.

Greetings... Bwana, bwana.

You know?

I felt as if...

- Watch out.

A bit like the pope

in his popemobile. Get it?

I looked like an idiot.

I remember the first time you peed.

I remember exactly how you...

found out how to pee.

It was incredible.

Straight on.

And.. What was I saying?

The amazing thing was...

the fact that...

they lived in small

villages in the forest...

and what did they do?

Take a right.

Take a right.

- Be careful.

When I came to the village

all children would be waiting.

Bwana, bwana!

Like the pope in his popemobile.

Really, amazing.

And I stood there like an idiot.

Then what happened...

Oh yeah, I realized...

- Turn right.

When they saw us like that...

Careful. It's OK.

When they saw us like that...

coming from the horizon...

What did they think?

Well, that we came down from heaven.

But god dammit...

This is really far.

You said...

I need my shot.

Straight on just a bit more.

- Straight on.

Straight, then turn right.

- Nearly there.

Yes, great. OK. Because, you know...

All these memories...

Incredible, the amount of memories.

It's great in a way.

Come on! Go!

Very good.

Jrmie, you know why

black people can't do this?

Because when they jump,

they get stuck in a tree.

Give us a kiss.

A kiss.

Yeah, that's motorcross.

Where's Pichon?

- Over there.

Hey, who was first?

Everts. And who's Everts?

Seven times a world champion.

Image, Jrmie.

Seventy times.

Plus all his dad's victories

makes ninety times.

Together they were world champions

ninety times.

No sir, you're wrong.

What?

- You're wrong.

Why?

- Don't believe everything your dad says.

Everts has only been a world

champion six times,

Plus his dad's two times.

Makes eight.

What did I say?

- Ninety.

Ninety times a world champion.

There's something like

motorcross history.

Listen, Superman.

Just because you lost your legs

doesn't mean you can be rude with me.

Dad, come on.

- It's OK, Jrmie.

Yes.

You're lucky I'm here

with my son.

Know what, Jrmie,

let's go get some snacks.

We can get snacks easily

whenever we want.

Get a snack and back,

get a snack and back.

As often as we like.

Feel like running, Jrmie?

Oh, I love my legs.

Bastard.

Guys, you can't sit here.

Keep clear. Let's go.

Who's he?

That's Joel Robert.

Joel Robert.

And?

- Great.

And my sandwich?

- I have something better. Look.
