Forget Paris Page #2

Hmm, no.No?

Mickey and ellen

are the current titleholders...

For the strangest getting together,

at least in their weight class.

How did they

get together?

She helped bury his father.

Excuse me?

No, no.

I'm gonna wait for mickey to tell that story.

Oh. Whoa. No way.

What, are you crazy?

You can't start a story,

"she helped bury his father," and then stop.

That's not allowed.

Come on, come on.

All right.

Here we go.

This was a few years ago.

Mickey's father died.Aw.

No, it's good.

Mickey hated him.What?

Everybody did. He abandoned his

family when mickey was a kid.

When he left, the neighborhood

had a street fair to celebrate.

I won a fishing rod.

It was the best time we ever had.

Anyway, he dies...

finally.

And the funeral service is

in the cargo area at j.F.K.

Why?Mickey's old man wants to

be buried in france.

Was he french?No. He was in

the d day invasion.

I think on our side,

but i'm not sure.

His whole platoon, except him,

was wiped out defending a little village.

They were buried there, and he wanted

to go back and be buried with them.

That's sweet.Oh, okay.

So mickey has to go over and accompany

the body and see that it gets buried.

Well, why, if he was

such a bad guy?

Whatever his father had

done to him or his family,

Mickey wanted it to end

with his conscience clear.

That's mickey.

Then there was

this little problem.

You lost my father?

Oui.

We're not talking

about a val-Pac here.

We're talking about a former person

in a bad suit in a big wooden box.

- And all you can say to me is "oui"?

- Oui.

Mickey's going out of his mind,

but he's trying not to go off on anyone.

This is a guy

who argues for a living.

He tells shaquille o'neal

to shut up.

But he doesn't want to

be the ugly american.Can i see your superior?

Please, look, i know that you people

are still angry over eurodisney.

But please don't

take it out on me.

Okay, okay. Whatever you do,

i am not gonna lose my temper.

But finally...

If i was hitler,

you'd give me my father!

You'd give me everything in your whole

goddamned country! Where is my father?

Two days.

Two days?

He was in that

airport two days.

Monsieur gordon, will you

come with me, please? Oui!

But the airline was nice.

They gave him free almonds.

Where does ellen come in?

Now.

Bon. Merci infiniment

pour votre aide.

Je vous en prie. Au revoir.

De rien.

Au revoir.Au revoir.

Bon chance.

Au revoir. Et vous aussi.

Mr. Gordon,

i'm miss andrews.

Would you care to come

into my office?

Veronique,

pas de telephone. Oui, madame.

Merci.

Please, have a seat.

How are you feeling today,

mr. Gordon?

How am i today?

I am a mass of good will.
