(and their parents...)
Sir! Would you like to buy stamps
to help people with tuberculosis?
Help fight
people with tuberculosis!
It's for cancer!
You boys from Longeverne
aren't very quick.
The boys from Velrans already
hit me for two books of stamps.
And that was at least an hour ago.
Two? Why did you buy from them
since you are from Longevernes?
It's because the sick can't wait.
You don't mess around
with sickness, you know?
Watch out!
Everything's fine
as long as you're healthy.
But when you're sick...
You don't mess around
with sickness.
Everything's fine
as long as you're healthy.
But when your health goes, you
can't mess around with sickness.
Which one do we attack?
The priest!
He can't turn us down. Father!
- Would you like some stamps?
- It's for a good cause!
Darn it!
He's already got some, too!
On top of that,
he made us miss Nestor.
Let's run after him!
He has to walk his bike uphill.
How dare you
try selling me stamps?
I'll show you
what I think of that!
Hey, you jerks from Velrans!
He's our mailman, not yours.
We can forget about the priest,
You can't sell him stamps.
Nestor? From Longeverne?
He belongs to all of France.
- That's right! Nobody owns him.
- Go ahead, call us jerks again.
- Jerks! Jerks!
- Thieves! Mailman stealers!
You people from Longeverne
have soft balls!
What does that mean?
Everyone from Longeverne
has soft balls!
Beat it!
Get lost, losers!
I'm gonna tell--
I'm gonna tell Lebraque.
Guys, the first bell's ringing!
I thought he said "snowballs."
- Hi, Gibus.
- Hi.
I knew I shouldn't have went.
- What happened?
- Some Velrans jerks ambushed us.
- They pelted us with stones.
- Then they said we were snowballs.
- They didn't call us that.
- So what did they call us?
What names? What names?
Well, we didn't really understand.
- Let's go ask Lebraque.
- Yeah!
What names? What names? Tell me!
Stamp sale to raise funds
for the fight against tuberculosis.
Here come the Gibus brothers.
What happened?
What do you want?
So... what do you want?
Sir, are there any bad words
with "soft" in them?
You're asking me that?
I don't know any bad words.
My eye!
Come on, what's the baddest
bad word that has "soft" in it?
"Balls," we know, everybody's
got them. But why "soft"?
We don't care, but we must
find out if it's nasty.
Guys!
Even the teacher
doesn't know what it is.
- You moron! You told him?
- Yeah, but not to his face.
Hey, you're smart, little Gibus.
Move out of my way.
Hey, Gaston, come here.
- Where's your father?
- Over there.
Go call your father "soft balls."
- He'll give you some candy.
- Will I have to give it to you?
It's okay, you can keep it.
Go, and don't forget!
Soft balls, soft balls, soft balls.
Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!
All right, settle down.
- Finished counting, Lacrique?
- Yes, sir, it's a piece of cake.
Hey, Camus, did he come out yet?
- No.
Groucoulard:
none sold. Tintin:none sold. Camus: one sold.
- That will make the count uneven.
- Boulon--
Here he comes!
Back in your seats everyone.
Camus, sit down!
Lebraque!
Tonight, we'll show the Velrans...
if we have soft balls.
- Come on, guys.
- We've been running pretty fast.
- Did you bring the chalk?
- I've got my pockets full of it.
Guys, guys! Wait for me!
Sorry, my parents
won't let me go without him.
You really look stupid. Let's go.
Why don't we take the road?
- The rabbits' way is faster.
- No way, we'll tear our pants.
Just do like everyone else
