Ernest et Célestine Page #2

---

Listen, Ernest.

I know a place where you can

regain your health and eat

things that are good for you.

Marshmallows?

Marshmallows, hard candy, nougats,

caramels, marzipan,

marshmallows, alright?

Agreed!

There!

Help yourself, Ernest.

Wait!

There! Bon apptit!

Clestine!

Thanks!

It's alright.

Attention!

...and one! And two!

Enjoy your free sample!

Hey, open your eyes...

Sorry, Madame, I'm in a hurry.

Hasn't started yet.

They said to wait here.

Smells like garbage around here.

Hurry, or the Big Bad Bear

will eat you raw!

Come, follow me.

How many teeth did you recover?

Seven.

Not terrific. I got twelve.

Twelve!

Usually I do much better.

It's far from my best score.

You, Clestine?

How many?

Me?

Eh well...

Stop there.

Relax, you're a bit stressed.

This will hurt a lot.

Come.

Here, Madame.

12 teeth.

Very good.

I can do better, you know.

Yeah, alright, next.

Only 7 ?

Yes, but three incisors.

Check out the quality.

Yes, I'll take one.

This one's too short.

Thanks.

Let's try this.

Repeat after me.

The nasty bear steps on our heads.

The natthy bear thepth on our headth.

Not quite right.

Now?

The thnatthy thear thepth thon thour theadth.

Permit me.

Try now.

- The nashty bear...

- Stop!

Go on:
"The nasty bear..."

The nasty bear steps on our heads.

Et voil.

Dexterity, my dear fellow.

Dexterity...

WHAT, only one?

All night for one tooth?

Yes but, I was trapped in a trash can.

How'd you get out?

It was a bear...

A what?

No, nothing.

May we know what's in the sack?

So, this is how you spend

your internship, Clestine?

You draw instead of collect.

You'll never become

a dentist like this.

But I don't wanna be a dentist.

I see.

You're 50 teeth behind,

You lost too many points.

You need motivation.

Come with me.

You see, Clestine?

we rodents, are not bears.

Our force does not come from our mass,

our muscles, our claws,

nor our terrible jaws.

NO !

We are delicate beings, subtle and refined.

Our whole civilisation,

all we achieved over centuries...

we owe to WHAT ?

What?

What do we owe it to?

Our incisors.

Our WHAT ?

Our incisors.

Our incisors! Correct!

They're the foundation of our society.

Thanks to them we built the greatest cities,

gnawed through the biggest rocks,

built the most complicated machines.

We diverted the

GREATEST RIVERS IN THE WORLD!

All that thanks to our cute,

precious, delicate,

inestimable, perfect, incisive, incisors!

But what happens Clestine,

if this poor rodent loses an incisor?

He dies.

He suffers abominable agonies.

He can no longer eat or talk.

He dies.

Consumed by hunger,

and gnawed by solitude.

Back to square one, Clestine.
