as far as I know.

You've got balls.

Write the script.

Charlotte, I added

ten bucks for your candy.

Does your hand still hurt?

It's fine. Forget it! It could be worse.

I have to get up early tomorrow.

Have to write an essay.

What's the subject?

Edgar Allan Poe

"The Murders in the Rue Morgue".

Well written. The one with the orangutan.

That's why I need to analyze

stylistics...

and the detective plot.

Not bad!

Why do they teach children

such horrific things?

All right, come here.

Dad, he's not home.

I know. Let's play.

Hey! Becassine, would you help?

I don't get what you are

doing here.

Where the hell are you? Come here.

Watch it!

Take the helmet.

Whoever knocks down the most - wins.

Come on.

Shut up.

It's moto-bowling!

Your turn.

Get to it.

A game for fools.

I wonder who came up with it.

You lost - now you have to moon.

This is driving me crazy.

How long are you going to bug me like this?

Who did this?

It's Therese.

A friend of Becassine.

Oh, Becassine...

Charlotte came up with it.

Interesting.

She was sitting by the radiator

she's a repeat student.

So what?

Stop it. All right.

Go to the store, otherwise they'll be closed.

Come on, Therese.

No... My leg hurts.

All right, it's ok.

Dad, keep an eye on her.

Broom is in the kitchen. So is the dustpan.

What?

What? What? To the left! Move! Go!

All right! Get up!

What did she say to you about

her mom?

Yeah, I see.

You like wagging your behind.

Yes I do.

Ah, you're trying to get me exited.

You may not be the brightest.

But there's something about you.

Are you scared?

Why?

It could be worse.

Look at me.

What's wrong?

Ashamed?

Dad.

What?

I was given a task at school

to answer the Proust Questionnaire.

Proust Questionnaire?

I thought it's studied later.

You're in middle school, aren't you?

Do you want me to help you?

All right, first question.

What do you regard as

the lowest depth of misery?

Lack of toilet paper.

What is your idea

of earthly happiness?

Ladies restroom

in the Maxim restaurant.

I can't say that.

Go on.

For what failiure do you have

the most toleration?

When I fail to hit

somebody in the face!

Your favorite character in history?

Mickey Maos, but not Mouse. Maos.

Just like that?

Exactly.

The quality you most admire in a man?

The ability to f***.

I can't put that down.

Fine, next one.

Answer some questions yourself.

Not all for me. Next one.

What quality you most admire in a woman?

Her wetness.

It's not going to work for me.

I'll think of something.

I bet you will.

- Next.

- Your favorite occupation?

Hand job.

This won't do for you.

No, you can't write that.

Who would you like to be?

Serge Gainsbourg

Serge Gainsbourg (born Lucien Ginsburg; French pronunciation: ​[sɛʁʒ ɡɛ̃sbuʁ]; 2 April 1928 – 2 March 1991) was a French singer, songwriter, pianist, film composer, poet, painter, screenwriter, writer, actor, and director. Regarded as one of the most important figures in French popular music, he was renowned for his often provocative and scandalous releases, as well as his diverse artistic output, which embodied genres ranging from jazz, mambo, world, chanson, pop and yé-yé, to rock and roll, progressive rock, reggae, electronic, disco, new wave, and funk. Gainsbourg's varied musical style and individuality make him difficult to categorize although his legacy has been firmly established and he is often regarded as one of the world's most influential popular musicians.His lyrical works incorporated a vast amount of clever word play to hoodwink the listener, often for humorous, provocative, satirical or subversive reasons. Common types of word play in his songs include mondegreen, onomatopoeia, rhyme, spoonerism, dysphemism, paraprosdokian and pun. Through the course of his career, Gainsbourg wrote over 550 songs, which have been covered more than 1,000 times by a wide range of artists. Since his death, Gainsbourg's music has reached legendary stature in France, and he is regarded as one of France’s most revered musicians. He has also gained a cult following in the English-speaking world, with numerous artists influenced by his arrangements. more…
