Do you miss Paris?

Did you know there are more night

clubs there than in '39?

War has its advantages,

don't you think?

The German High Command

has announced...

...that yesterday,

its troops captured

several hundred

American prisoners.

This confirms the disarray

and low morale...

...of the Allied assault troops

in Normandy,

who have only managed

to build ridiculous...

By the British Command's

own admission...

That really is a good own!

It's very funny!

Where did you hear it, Lucien?

This isn't a Pink Lady!

Please, honey!

The girl's doing her best.

Do you know where I drank

the best Pink Lady?

In the bar in Rue Magellan.

The best bar in Paris!

Why don't you put on

some music?

Miss Beaulieu,

very serious things are happening.

Did you know I was a film

actress, Lucien?

- Really?

- Yes.

Last year, I had a great role

in "Nights in the Casbah".

- Starring Yvonne Lvre.

- Then I can see you at the movies!

In Paris you could.

Unfortunately, in this godforsaken

village they only show old films.

That's true! Too bad!

It's just as I thought.

The Yanks don't know how to fight.

I've heard they send the negroes

to the front line.

You're prejudiced!

Are you sure they're telling

the whole truth?

- Are you joking?

- Not at all.

You need to listen to

Radio London as well...

...and then draw your conclusions.

Aren't you too hot

with that jacket on?

No.

Here!

"To Lucien,

so you'll remember me.

Wishing you the best

of luck, happiness...

...and success."

- Do you understand English?

- No. What use is it to me?

I've no intention of becoming

a turncoat, you know.

Would you like to know

what I think of the British?

I detest them.

They're better looking than

the French.

I was in love with

Leslie Howard.

There's a limit even to

stupidity, isn't there?

What did you say?

Repeat what you said!

Are you looking for

a slap?

Do you always have to argue,

you two?

Henry, a cognac.

- Still doing your accounts?

- Yes, unfortunately.

You're an oaf, Mr. Faure!

A stupid oaf!!

Don't ever dare to speak

to me again!

There's a job for you

upstairs.

- Let's go.

- I'm coming too.

- It won't be a pretty sight.

- Lf it amuses her...

Yes, it will amuse me!

Anyway, I'm not interested in

knowing if the war will be won...

...by the Germans or the Americans!

I'm thinking of myself...

...and the time I'm wasting

in this dump,

among these pathetic people!

If they were at least good looking!

You're ruining my career,

you know?

Hello, Lopez?

This is Henry!

- Yes... yes...

- What's he saying?

Two wagons of shoes

on the Spanish border.

That's interesting but how can we

clear them through Customs?
