April and the Extraordinary World Page #5

Synopsis: In 1941, the world is radically different from the one we know from history books. Geopolitics has developed strangely: Napoleon V rules France and, for the last 70 years, scholars have been mysteriously disappearing, depriving mankind of their inventions. Without radio, television, electricity, aviation, and the combustion engine, the world is mired in outdated technology, dozing in the previous century's knowhow dominated by coal and steam. In this bizarre universe, Avril (Marion Cotillard), a teenage girl, Darwin (Philippe Katerine), her talking cat, Pops (Jean Rochefort), her grandfather, and Julius (Marc-André Grondin), a young scoundrel and police informer, go off in search of Avril's parents, two of the missing scientists. The quartet will face many dangers and mysteries in this strange new Rigged World.

"See the magic and fun

of chemistry!"

With a little luck,

I'll find what I need!

I'm coming with you!

Not gonna happen.

It's out of the question.

Hmm!

Step right up!

Step right up!

See the incredible

bearded Siamese twins.

Free for all

military personnel.

Whoo!

Whoo!

The Lovers' Carousel

April.

I'd really love to dance.

Cats don't dance.

And they don't talk!

So be quiet.

And thanks to the magic

of boric acid...

Abracadabra!

Poof! A green flame

the color of hope appears!

Once again,

a little girl wins a barrel of coal.

PRODIGIES AND WONDERS

OF MAGICAL CHEMISTRY

Thank you!

Thank you!

I know you're all breathlessly

anticipating the next miracle!

Lithium, potassium, calcium.

A rainbow of fire color!

Move it!

April!

He's coming!

Hey!

Hey, you!

Hurry up!

I gotcha,

ya dirty little...

Stop her! Thief!

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Hurry up! Hurry up!

A talking cat?

- Maximum surveillance, send in the rat spy.

- As you wish.

Huh?

Thief!

Come back!

Someone stop her!

Oh! Honey,

where have you been?

I've looked all over

for you!

Your bag!

Open your bag!

Hey! Whoa! Where are your manners?

Don't touch my girl like that.

Yeah, well, you should see

what your girl's been doing...

Huh?

You're lucky I'm

with my sweetie.

If not, I'd shove that clown hat of

yours where the sun don't shine!

There's a little boy named Leo

waiting for his mom

by the molten furnace.

Your tiger here

doesn't look so hot.

Uh, hey, I don't know

what to say so...

Thanks.

Here, think this is yours.

Magic.

You do magic with that stuff, too?

I'd love to see it,

say, your place?

I, uh... Listen,

thanks again but

you wouldn't like my place.

And I don't live alone.

So better just leave it at that.

Filtration, good.

Inserting enzymatic.

Molecular hybridization.

Injecting mutant agent.

And now,

colloidal solution... Done!

There.

Oxidation-reduction...

Glycolysis.

I don't have exactly what I need,

but it should still work, Darwin!

You could be cured.

Come on, come on.

What does it feel like

to be kissed?

Did he bite you?

Lick your tongue?

Did you like it?

Swallow and shut up.

It should've

worked by now.

Do you feel anything?

Thanks for this wonderful day.

And now,

I can finally leave.

And where will

you go? Silly.

I'm going

to find Homer

and Plato and Shakespeare...

And also Perrault.

I've got a few things

to teach him about cats.

April, I'm thirsty.

Darwin?

Darwin!

This is your fault!

Why did I listen to you?

I never should have

let you go outside

to breathe in

that crappy soot!

And this...

This is crap, too!

Everything is crap!

Useless! Useless!

All of it!

Argh!
