It's a real mania!

Would you like to join

the police?

I don't really know.

You're young.

I think the Inspector

has taken a shine to you.

- Is Mr. Tonin the Inspector?

- He was.

- He was an excellent police officer

- And isn't he any more?

He was kicked out

as a criminal in '36...

...when the Socialists

were in power.

Children, you can't stay here.

Go and play elsewhere.

- Listen, Jean-Bernard...

- Yes, my love?

Do you know if there are any

night clubs in Toulouse?

No, Honey.

There's nothing in Toulouse.

So, when are you taking me

to San Sebastian?

- At the end of the month.

- Is San Sebastian nice?

- You'll see.

There's a fantastic hotel

with everything you like in it.

I don't believe you!

- Have you ever used one of these?

- No.

It's very easy.

You must grip it firmly.

Raise your arm, very

relaxed, extend it fully...

...and hold your breath.

Got that?

Here!

- Aim at the left nostril.

I said the left nostril,

not the tie. Try again!

- He shoots better than you.

- That's not hard!

Get in.

Where are we going?

To Albert Horn.

Don't you know who he is?

One of the greatest Parisian

tailors.

Come on!

- Does he live here?

- Yes, he's in hiding.

He only works for me.

I'd never have thought I'd find

him in this God-forsaken village.

As a boy, I was in

boarding school near here.

But I got expelled.

Oh, it's you.

Am I disturbing you?

- You never disturb me.

- I've brought you a client.

It's his first

made-to-measure suit.

An important milestone

in a man's life.

Take off your jacket

What shall we choose for this

young man? A Prince of Wales,

or blue flannel like the suit

I made for you a month ago?

A Prince of Wales.

Do you agree, Lucien?

I couldn't care less.

Do you remember the first time

I came to you, with my father?

I was 12 years old.

You lived in

Rue Marbez at that time.

Good morning.

Your mother's a little strange,

isn't she?

What lovely fabrics!

I got them for a song,

and a few petrol coupons.

Did I ever tell you

where they come from?

From the warehouse of Cassels,

the English importer.

They confiscated all his goods.

And what happened to Cassels?

I think he's in a camp for

the British at St. Denis.

The one for the Jews

is in Drancy.

I know.

Thank you. That's all.

It'll be ready in 5 days.

Listen...

...l've news about

the trip to Spain.

You have to pay another

installment.

Don't you think I've already

paid enough?

Increasingly harsh measures will be

taken against people like you.

But I've already given you

They were just for

the forged papers.

This gentleman is a rich,

stingy Jew.

Stop playing.

The music is bothering me.

I'm with some clients.
