A kiss?

Three kisses.

Couscous, I have to talk to you.

I have all the outfits...

of all shows by Maritie and

Gilbert Carpentier.

Look:
Carlos, '74, Petula Clark, '78

Michel Fugain, '73.

Feel it. It's wild silk.

Michel Fugain never should've

quit Big Bazaar.

The way he danced with boots

all the way up to his balls.

Lalanne just copied off him.

It's slightly more complicated.

- Sit down.

Want a drink?

-No, listen.

Cheers!

Do you live here?

Seen the rent?

No one tells you anything?

- Nobody knows I exist.

Wnat something to eat?

Seen this masterpiece?

Claude only wore it once,

for Blinda, Februari 11, 1973.

Isn't your Orangina

from Blinda '73?

Listen up, Couscous.

I don't want you to call

me any more.

Not on your couch.

No. Not on the couch,

not at my house.

I don't want to hear about

that night of the imitators.

Seen the poster I found?

From our show in Chaingy?

Listen. I quit.

I have a job now.

A wife and a kid.

It's over for me.

Do you understand?

I'm a working man?

- so?

Never mind. Deal?

It was good to see you.

I'll call you.

It would be nice if we went

out for dinner.

What?

Haven't you got a little bigger?

-No.

It's enough.

By the way, that jacket is

a fake.

Claude never would've worn

glitters...

on top of a Sumatra.

Never.

Vro?

Welcome to "Marc et Olivier" real estate.

Bernard Frdric, customer service.

- Good evening Bernard!

How do you like the banker life?

Who is this?

- It's Claude!

What Claude?

- Claude Franois!

Do you know who's going to

the night of the imitators?

You, Bernard!

Definitely!

Yes, you!

- This can't be.

Claude... is it you?

Are you deaf?

I told you!

No! Couscous, if this is a joke

I don't find it funny.

Listen, if you can't handle it

just tell me!

You'll be a Claude Franois again.

Find your dancers,

work out...

something that wouldn't hurt.

And you'll win. Let's go.

Claude, listen...

- Dammit!

What?

What if I told you that

Claude called?

What if I told you that

Claude called?

To get back on stage.

What I wanted to ask...

Do you know where my

star shaped buttons are?

What buttons?

The ones I wore at

Tigy in Februari '95.

No.

Yes, the real Bernard was back.

All we needed were our dancers.

And for Bernard to practice

for the night of the imitators.

Finally a new tour of

"Bernard Frdric and his Bernadettes".

And I was Bernard's coach again.

His father's dead?

- March 9, '61.

No, March 19th.

To freshen up his memory

I played a game with him.

One that we played 5 years ago.

A kind of quiz.

Favourite food?

- Lobster bouillon and wine.

By what chef?

- Leduc.

Jeannette left him. When and where?

1962, Bcaud.

Bcaud, that bastard.
