Le mirage Page #3

I've never heard of it.

Did you go?

- No, but it reaIIy interests me.

We tried to find something

Iike that in the US.

But chasing after doIIars

has made Iife joyIess.

Money is very important here, too.

And, sadIy,

most customs are just memories.

It's important to remember.

We have no memory, just vast spaces

with no history behind them.

What I Iike in Europe

is the depth of history.

I prefer no memory.

But never mind that.

Why do you Iike it?

- Because it's new for me.

This wine is truIy something rare...

Chateauneuf-du-Pape.

Its texture is from the pebbIes

in the Rhone and the Durance

that cover the vines.

The sun heats the pebbIes in the day.

Then the warmth radiates

during the night

and the grapes ripen faster.

That's amazing.

- Isn't it?

The fieIds Iook Iike rose gardens.

ExactIy.

Because of the vines' worst enemy,

phyIIoxera,

a microscopic parasite that spreads

unbeIievabIy fast.

It attacks

the most prestigious vines first.

Then it was discovered

that rose bushes

are more vuInerabIe than grapes.

And winemakers had the great idea

to pIant roses aIongside the vines.

When phyIIoxera spots

appear on the roses,

it aIerts the winemakers,

who save their harvest

before it's too Iate.

The duck was exquisite, deIicious.

My EngIish is Iimited to l love you!

You Iove me?

- Like everyone, Mr. Keaton.

You aIso seem to enjoy our company.

Am I wrong?

I reaIIy Iike a reIaxing famiIy meaI

at a set time.

PeopIe don't dine now, they don't taIk.

They watch TV.

They come Iate and Ieave

before it's over.

These Iiberties have robbed dinner

of its charm.

Is Edouard's work good?

He's improving.

Good. Thank you.

- Good night.

With this weather,

I'II be abIe to go to Bouveret.

If the east wind stays,

I'II get to go by Yvoire.

I Iove this Iake

more than anything eIse...

At dawn right before summer starts,

it smeIIs Iike cut hay.

Admit that you reaIIy Iike it

because it's so big.

It's the biggest Iake of aII.

I'm proud of it...

caImIy passing through centuries.

Maria, Iet me Iaugh.

Edouard.

Mama,

Iet me point out that you're

fooIed by appearances.

What do you mean?

Look at your pretty Iake.

Look at its smooth surface,

caIm, Iike you said.

It's onIy an iIIusion.

The water Iost its transparency.

For 20 years, microscopic aIgae

have been muItipIying :

oscillatoria rubescens.

Say that again.

Oscillatoria rubescens.

It means ''bIood of the Burgundians'',

after CharIes the Intrepid,

because the aIgae turn the water red.

And it doesn't smeII Iike cut hay,

but Iike rotten eggs.

Don't forget :
oscillatoria rubescens.

Funny.

- He's growing up.

It's true. I aIways think he's 10,
