Over.

You oughta be ashamed of yourself,

scaring a poor dog like that.

They ought to take that dog away

from you - you're not a fit mother.

Quiet, quiet!

I'll let you men go. We'll need you

as witnesses. Your name?

Jacques Casanova.

- What's yours?

- Andr Casanova.

- I suppose you're Pierre Casanova?

- No, I am General Lafayette.

Retired.

- All right, let's start all over again.

- And what's your name?

I'm Officer... Just a moment,

who's investigating, you or me?

It's an outrage. I'll see you lose your job.

- Shut up.

- Do you know who you're talking to?

Trying to bribe an officer, eh?

Back. Everybody, back. All right,

OK, ladies, let's go. Come on. Back.

- In we go.

- Not so rough.

- Up, up, up.

- Watch that baton.

- Don't handle the merchandise.

- In you get.

- Take it easy, you.

- Come on.

Let's go, let's go. Come on. Here we go.

Let's go now. Here we go. Just a minute.

- No smoking in a police van.

- Who do you think you are? De Gaulle?

- Inside. Come on, come on.

- What do they expect us to do now?

- Collect unemployment insurance?

- It's that new flic.

One of these days I'm gonna

catch him outta uniform, and then...

Up, up, up. Let's go.

Who does this belong to?

Officer, would you zip my dress up?

Will you hold this, please?

Hey!

Say, Officer, do you really

have to take us to the station?

The last time we were arrested,

we drove right on to Deauville.

What a weekend!

18 girls and three policemen.

And they weren't nearly

as cute as you are.

- Wouldn't ya like a harem?

- We'll make you feel like a king.

King Farouk.

Oh, look, he's blushing.

- I guess he's too young.

- Maybe if we put a moustache on him...

...he'd look older.

All right, all right!

One false move out of any one of ya,

and I'm gonna let you have it.

That's enough, girls! Leave him alone.

- He can take care of himself.

- No, he can't.

You know what he was doing before this?

Policing a children's playground.

Now, now, kids, stay out of the bushes.

- Don't take candy from strangers.

- And no playing doctor.

Get the best ~

~ In my nest

In my nest ~

- Here, you dropped this.

- Oh, thank you.

- You're the only nice one.

- They were just pulling your leg.

And it almost came off.

Sorry I have to put you in jail.

Oh, I don't mind. I can use a little rest.

Oh. Officer Nestor Patou checking in

16 females suspected of lewd vagrancy.

- And one poodle.

- How many? 16?

Yes, Monday is a slow night,
