Gramps Is in the Resistance (1983) Movie Script
June, 1941.
The German eagle has closed its
claws on the France of Ambroise Par.
France that lived in the
sunny memory of Austerlitz,
It comes into contact with Waterloo.
The French, generally so
jovial, is mortified and suffers.
Of course, some get used to it well.
But others have happily kept their pride.
My dear friend, at least you
don't hide your sympathies.
The former janitor was less sincere.
Are you the one who
supplies the paint, Mr. Ramirez?
From de Gaulle.
Excuse me, when one
is nervous this reassures.
Shut up, Miss Bourdelle!
And get out, virtuous
ones! And long live Petain!
I am with the great Germany!
Europe, the great Europe! Heil Hitler!
You bitches!
A kind of great bourgeois!
And who are you with?
Distrust! We'll see.
Jean, don't insist.
No, Andr will not conduct an orchestra
as long as there is only one German
on French soil. It is clear, right?
Yes, Jean, you are a good
businessman. That's not the question.
It is a question of
patriotism. Is it tough or what?
No. Listen, already in the year 34, in Milan,
we refused to play before the fascists.
And if Count Ciano hadn't crawled
to our feet at that reception...
Don't beat us up with your
memories. Tell him no and that's it.
We will play within 6 months.
No, money is not
everything. We will fix it.
We will rent the rooms! This is huge.
And if we sell the Rolls, we
have Papy's Talbot. Goodbye!
- Have you taken it the wrong way?
- Put yourself in his place! You lose your commission!
It is not to make concessions.
Indeed, concessions. Andr
Bourdelle no longer does them.
For a year now, behind the back of his
family, he has led a resistance network.
In hiding, he's only Captain Remon.
What's up, Andr?
Let's go, let's respect the schedule.
It's blocked, right!
Today we are not lucky. Gives
back, we will see in the presbytery.
Oh, very good, my general!
And says it's the first time
who takes a racket... But he
does some dunks like nobody else!
Yes, his style resembles
Borotra's. Do you know Borotra?
- The alpinist?
- Well... a great athlete.
- Good morning sir.
- Good Morning.
Shit!
- It's good wine.
- Thank you.
Help!
- Father!
- I'll be right back!
Quita, pooch! It's playful, huh?
The weapons are there, they
have been dropped tonight.
It's not too soon, we can finally work.
Magnificent!
Tell me, Remon, are you
still looking for a tenant?
There is a boy here next
door, protected from Mrs. Norvil
looking for accommodation in Paris.
He doesn't look wise, but he does.
Latin license and has found a
vigilante position at Jeanson de Sailly.
Stay here, father, I'm on a mission.
Quick, guys!
Sorry to insist Remon, but Mrs. Norvil
does us a lot of favors for landings,
I'm afraid if I say no...
- Well, I'll go see him, but I shouldn't.
It will be fixed.
Good Morning.
I appreciate it infinite.
It is a great honor to stay
with great artists like you.
It is wonderful. "They are 350 francs
a month, and a two-month deposit."
Ah, don't tell me...
A few words of introduction for my wife.
- Thank you.
- I leave you alone.
Sacred work that de Gaulle does.
I admire the Resistance,
I have tried to participate
myself... but it is very closed.
It is normal because it is secret,
and I understand that it is not spoken
- of it to anyone.
- If that is.
And don't express your opinions
to everyone. It's very dangerous.
- He'll be in Paris tomorrow.
- Can't you take me?
Not going to the station? No thanks!
Here, it's the new grenades.
It's the latest in America!
Watch out captain, he's very sensitive.
You are right, you are.
Grab it, grab it! It seems! It seems!
Doesn't it explode?
Andr Bourdelle was gone.
Two years later, his
house still kept his memory
when she was brutally
assaulted by the Germans.
Stop! Documents, please.
- Michel Taupin, I live here.
- Ja.
Is there someone? Darling, it's me!
Get up quickly. I'm in his room.
The Germans settle here.
They send us a general.
The letter is on the bedside table.
- Well, they just requisition a room.
- Yes, and we have chosen yours.
You have to know how
to bite the bullet. It is war.
But why my room in
particular? Darling, I...
In two years I have changed rooms
three times. To greater knowledge,
greatest darling. Also, getting smaller.
I can't accept sleeping anywhere.
Michel, this room is not just any place.
And look at this. So
you don't get up at night.
Thanks, but I find it too precarious.
No! The servants lived here until last year
and they were delighted.
It's painful enough to have
those dirty Germans in our home,
dont overdo it, Michel.
- Michel, its painful.
What if we shared his room? We are engaged.
- But Michel, are you delirious?
- Its not worth wearing yourself out,
a general wont stay in a
room without a bathroom.
The winners are the Germans, I remind you.
What you have to do is
take Michel's clothes out.
Yes darling. There is no other place.
No one will sleep in your father's room!
- And dont wink!
- Thats very vulgar!
If you want to accommodate the
Germans, offer them your room.
- Michel will give you his place in the attic.
- With pleasure.
And I remind you that my rent
has gone up to 1200 francs a month,
- thats too much for a hovel!
- You idiot!
And he throws his francs in our faces!
Do you think with that he can support
the family for a whole month?
Live by the sweat of your hands.
You know, Im done taking your advice.
Guys, let's not argue over
something so small. Calm down.
It's clear we dont have
space, I dont deny it.
Im going to see the Germans
and explain that we cannot receive
that general because
it's small, and that's it.
Good for the statue, bravo! What happiness!
Its a dialect that hits! Its Beethoven!
- Youre an idiot!
- Papy, let me explain nicely.
- Yes, Papy!
- Be polite, or well have problems!
Colonel, have you read the
requisition order properly?
Let's take care of the old man!
What did you say?
Come upstairs, mom. Ill explain kindly.
You will discover these slogans!
Light, Papy! You cant
give orders with a candle!
If we turn on all the lamps at
the same time it's normal it blows.
Silence! It's a cut. This
doesnt come from here.
With my little DIY I hope to
light up the whole neighborhood,
shut up, you bunch of useless people.
If you hadnt insulted them,
we wouldnt be in this situation.
- Save your outbursts.
- Okay...
Michel, please dont smoke.
If we want breathable
air, we have to do our part.
He's right, Mamina. Living
together requires discipline.
- Where are the owners?
- We preferred to install them in another
part of the house, without disturbance.
With this humidity the sheets
are moldy. Dirty Germans!
Mom, they broke the gramophone.
Thats not what you expected.
I know mistakes have been made and
we will find the culprits. I
will inform the first officer.
And that sergeant will deal with it.
There will surely be compensation.
But mom, it's not about
moving, it's the Reich army!
They are invaders! Attila
never returned a penny.
- And they have all the rights!
- Shut up, were ashamed!
You sound like German radio.
But German radio says true things.
And it plays good records.
You disgust me! Son of a resistance
fighter and you talk like that!
If he were here, youd see!
- What is Papy doing?
- He sawed the device in two.
Half for the men, the
other half for the women.
It has to be programmed.
But youre not going to
saw all the furniture in two!
Careful, I dont sleep
in the middle of a bed!
Silence, collaborator! I said
men there and women there,
and you here.
- All this is seeping through.
Do you think were going
to stay long in this cave?
Michel, at this moment nothing is certain.
Well I disagree. We will
not accept the impositions
of the Germans without
reacting. Never at the Bourdelles!
What is that?
I fear it's the Marseillaise.
Its shameful! I dont agree.
I dont want to pay the price
for you. We will end our days
in a German mission
guarded by Frenchmen. Papy!
I fear nothing! The Germans give me energy.
Now its fine!
I get the feeling they are coming.
Silence please! Herr General Spontz!
Excellent, Mrs. Bourdelle. However, I
prefer them with another repertoire.
I was extremely lucky to
hear you in Bayreuth in 34.
Your interpretation of Carmen moved me.
What a success that night.
Of course it's war, and I
respect your patriotism, madam.
- Goethe.
- Well, young man, bravo. What culture.
Thank you, general.
Your house is splendid. I hope
Im not disturbing you too much.
Not at all, were in the cellar.
I see. Thats unacceptable. We can share.
We prefer to stay here.
We already knew the dampness
of the Great War. You get used to it.
Very well. As you wish. In the
bathroom there are clothes that...
Does it bother you? It's mine.
Ill get them when theyre dry.
- Theyre dry, Mr Bourdelle.
- Then leave them on the landing,
Ill pick them up right away.
- They are in your house.
My respects, madam. Dont
worry, Ill be as discreet as a hyena.
Thanks for your help, Hubert. Now
you just have to join the German army.
- Whats going on?
- Goethe! Traitor!
Silence!
What do they want?
Theyre complaining about the
cellar... they say theyve been evicted
I dont know if we did the right
thing coming. We waited two hours.
- They don't want to receive us.
- We are within our rights,
the circular requires a
room, not the whole house.
They have to receive us.
Lieutenant, could you tell the person who is
supposed to receive us that we are waiting?
- What did you say?
- I don't know if they will cooperate the way you thought, Mamina.
But that's no reason to give up.
- What does he want?
- Please!
The bayonet.
Don't be an idiot, Michel.
It's dangerous, they're going to arrest us.
- There are sentries everywhere.
- They're behind, don't be a coward.
- Darling, that's not really the point.
- Stop calling me "darling",
it's far too premature. And
I'm not marrying a coward.
- Bernadette, don't mix things up.
- Leave it, Mamina, I'll do it.
Mr. Mira is going to receive you. Hurry up.
Good luck!
It says here: one room.
I made a list of damaged
objects, and even stolen ones.
You did very well.
You would be surprised to see
how sensitive the Wehrmacht is
to the complaints coming from here.
- Even better.
They installed a telephone
switchboard in the music room.
And we can't rehearse And
for musicians not to rehearse
is dramatic.
- Listen, first and foremost I'm French,
and I see things as a Frenchman.
They speak badly about the Germans, but they
make efforts, and they are not forced to.
Here for example, we are fed,
kept warm, perhaps too warm.
I've caught a cold.
It seems they are offering us a
good opportunity, think about it.
And meanwhile, France
is slowly rising again.
And also, as I always say, those
who do not share my opinion,
that they would have won the
war. Well, no joke... that's the truth.
- What rank does that officer have?
- General.
Aha... he's my first general,
I won't hide it from him.
Anyway, you need to rehearse, that's true.
It is normal, of course. Tell me...
Isn't there by any chance
a Jew in your family?
- What?
- Jew...
Don't kill me, I'm only an official!
Your coat, quick!
Go quickly.
- What happened?
- I saved the situation,
I went to retrieve the papers,
your name and address are on them.
- Did three come in?
- Yes.
- Three have to come out.
- Sure, that's normal.
You stay behind. Give us two minutes.
- And why me?
- You're not going to sacrifice Michel?
We can't leave him. If they discover
the dead man, they'll hang him!
All he'll do is let us go first.
You'll go through the checkpoint later, at the
slightest inconvenience I'll cover for you.
Leave at least a minute later. Good luck.
- Papers.
- We came to see Mr. Mira.
I'm accompanying those ladies.
Wait for me in the street.
- Wass? Has the Englishman escaped?
- Huh? Shit!
Run, we're lost!
Here we go. It's very calm.
- What are you doing?
- He's trembling from head to toe,
he has a fever of 40!
- He's going to faint!
Look for salts, Melissa water!
- And where do I get it?
- In a pharmacy, idiot!
- What is Melissa water for?
- It works for everything. In Buenos Aires,
in the middle of the opera, the
baritone Zofroua Poulain cut his finger.
Okay, Mamina, but it's risky.
It would be better to hide
and quietly wait for nightfall.
- Don't be afraid, Michel!
I'm not going around the shops screaming
that I have an Englishman in my arms.
- Either follow my plan or I'm leaving!
- Do you want a couple of slaps?
Of course!
- Hey, worm! Do you think you're just going to leave?
- How?
Look what you've done to the car.
If it wasn't broken, I barely
touched the shop window...
Do you take me for an
idiot? You knocked it down.
Listen, the car is fine, it's intact.
Let's enjoy the party in peace.
You scoundrel! He did it
on purpose! Mrs. Piccard!
That's at least 200 francs
in damages! Mrs. Gomez!
No way, that's too much. I'm
the one who should complain
your sign could have hurt me. Do
you realize you could have killed me?
Come on, shut up, bug!
Halt, sir!
- Do we have problems with manners?
- Beat him up Ralph, don't argue.
- You broke Mrs. Gomez's stroller, huh?
- That's at least 200 francs.
Wow, he's not so cocky now.
His swagger has gone down.
What's this about insulting honest
people? That's very easy, right?
- Now that'll teach him.
- It's ridiculous...
What a gang of scoundrels. They arrest me
when I'm the one who should be complaining.
It's really not my day.
- Why are you here?
- I killed three Germans.
Oh yeah?
It's rotten, yes. You don't
leave people like that.
It must have been nerves. It happens
to anyone, or you didn't find a pharmacy.
You're kidding... he threatened to
leave us and he did it, he's a coward.
- And to think I was going to marry him.
- Yes, disappointing.
- Light, please.
- What?
- Ah, excuse me.
- Thank you.
- You're not very emotional.
- When I start a book
I have to know how it ends.
Do you think we'll go by train?
I would be surprised. Look
at the signs on the wall.
Shit...
There are only two. I'll pretend
to stumble, like the queen mother
before Abdullah's tomb when he wants to draw the king's attention.
-Yes.
Come on, Hans. The old
woman has screwed up her knee.
I screwed up my kneecap!
- Do you have the keys?
- Mom has gone looking for them.
Is it better?
- Is it better, sir?
- Yes, I'm fine now, thanks.
Get in!
But it is very small, I will
never be able to get inside.
You're starting to get heavy!
It is not us who have gone
to look for him! You are the one who got us into
this mess! And it's going to get in the trunk!
From there it does not happen!
Ah, that's it, Gustav! You had a good trip?
- Have you had a good trip?
- Yes, Herr General!
We are going to unpack. We
have many things to tell each other.
It's bleeding. I'm going
to get some cotton.
Miss Bourdelle, may I
introduce you to a friend?
I do not have much time.
He is the most gifted character
of his generation. Can we come in?
Nerd! I will not let a woman drive my car!
The last time I broke the door.
Papy, it was 4 years ago.
- Papy, she's vanished.
- What a bundle, let's put it in the basket.
This is the assistant chief, Gustav.
Found it in Russia, thin as a noodle.
The only survivor of a dead city.
Then we rejoice...
- Is it a gentleman or a lady?
- He's a grandpa.
- He's fat.
- Gustav...
He's a bit agitated since
the Fhrer decorated him...
He has a good head!
C'mon, c'mon!
It's clothing, it's heavy.
- Push, push, Papy!
- But what do you think I'm doing? Knitting?
It would be said.
But what is he doing with that rope?
- It's to help you.
- Is he bad in the head or what?
No more help! Go find Bernadette.
- Danke.
- Do not move.
Bernadette!
Ah Mrs Bourdelle, what a pleasure!
He had had the honor of receiving
the daughter, and now the mother.
Two at once. I offer you a drink.
No, I went up to look for Bernadette.
We have to take clothes to the laundry.
Ah, the delicate clothes. That is Paris.
Mr. Bourdelle, do you
want to come this way, bitte?
What's this?
- They're potatoes, it's obvious.
- It's tobacco! Do you take me for an idiot?
- Is prohibited!
- It's for my personal use.
- What is it, Klougklicht?
- Ah, General, be on time.
The man is trampling my tomatoes.
It's tobacco, Herr General!
Too much zeal, asshole!
Go smoke on the patio!
Look, you've made me nervous
about the responsibilities you have.
You Germans are not delicate. And
I'm not saying that for you, General.
Wait a minute, excuse me. What happens?
An attempt has been made
on General Muller's life.
- He has dropped the Englishman, he is foolish.
- Today everything goes wrong.
Ladies, sorry, a setback.
We'll see you later.
It's not my fault. That,
or no tobacco for a year.
Oh it is, kaput el bal.
- It's nothing, just clothes.
- It's very heavy, old rags.
English embroidery.
At last! A good moment.
Here, my dear successor. I
wish you a lot of happiness.
No thanks!
My bags were packed. I was going
to go out, and I wanted to take a nap.
The bomb was on the pillow.
That Super Resistant, who is he?
You will know him. Without
him, Paris would be a paradise.
That mask... It looks like a puppet!
Here it is! From the first
day it attacks you, it is a sign.
Welcome to Paris, General Spontz!
In full front! It's provocative, isn't it?
Stop laughing like a fool!
I'll lock up that Super
Resistant within 15 days!
Museum of Gothic Art Closed.
Because Dunkirk... excuse me, I
don't want to speak ill of the English,
but they are run like cowards.
And Mers El Kebir, wasn't it treason?
Are you able to remove
the bullet from the foot?
Papy was a vet. It will be fine.
And yet I like England,
I used to play rugby.
I even had a relationship with a cousin of
the royal family... I'm saying
no more, French prudence.
I had a comrade in Tobruk, they
gave him a bad cure, gangrene,
they cut off his leg.
- Yes, sometimes it happens.
But what is the diva doing
with the instruments now?
- Mom?
- Fool! You scared me.
But what are you doing here?
- Papy is operating on an Englishman in the cave.
- That?
- Thanks for your speed, mamina. Has died.
- That?
It is not a joke. You
will need to hold him.
Let's cut the steak. It's Sunday.
Papy, what things have...
- That's right Papy, you're exaggerating.
- But I'm dreaming!
Have you brought an Englishman? Do you
know how many Germans are in this house?
Enough, Guy-Hubert! If
you are afraid, you can go!
- How did you get here?
- Mom and I have brought it.
- A collaborator was uploaded.
- That? That's too much!
A criminal! And they bring it to you!
You don't say "she" when she is the mother.
- And you only whistle in the stables.
- The age of private classes is over.
- Now we talk about more important things.
- Silence!
I am going to operate.
Put this in your mouth so you don't scream.
Wait. Wouldn't you have a glass
of alcohol? That would help me.
I'm sorry. Since 40 we have nothing.
- Yes, I know where it is.
- You will not operate on this one!
We'd be in big trouble!
Bernadette, come back
immediately! Are you crazy or what?
Spontz has a bottle of snaps.
What we have to do is find
a doctor. Where's Colette?
He's at Jean's house. It is more prudent.
Bernadette, you can't go in where Spontz.
Help me search, Guy-Hubert!
It is a leather bottle.
No! I won't touch anything!
You will have us shot like spies.
What a coward!
Coward, and proud to be!
- Let's go! -Let me!
- You hurt my shoulder!
Kind of blond cow!
Tomorrow at six. And not one more
noise. I don't want to hear a fly fly!
- What's going on?
- It's me, General.
Mom has gotten cold and was looking
for some alcohol to make her a punch.
You have done well. It would have been better
to turn on the light. The bottle is there.
As you had offered me a
moment ago, with all the kindness,
I have abused, I confess.
- Nothing happens.
A beautiful woman is allowed everything.
Also, Parisians have a
kind of indefinable charm.
Who has rummaged my suitcase?
Sorry, General, I must
have scrambled everything.
Bernadette...
Bernadette... do you want
to answer me honestly?
How about my pajamas?
- I beg your pardon, General.
- Horrible, huh?
They force us to buy them in
greenish or burgundy brown.
- What a horor!
- Yeah, I guess, those are...
But you know, general,
what is worth in man is man.
Not the dress. Thank you.
Gustav, I think I've been ripped off.
Anyway! You are in the
same situation as I am.
What, Gustav? Do you fight alone?
Has the cat scratched you?
I had to defend myself, he
was not going to leave me!
Daddy, don't be sadistic! Wait
for him to drink a glass of alcohol.
She is a little woman. On the 14th I
operated on a Romanian's eye with a spoon.
The guy was delighted.
It always corresponds.
And don't blow my head, please!
- Hush Papy, Spontz is back!
- I'll make Easter for that one!
- On foot, on horseback, and by car.
- Listen, I'm going to make noise...
so the moans will not be heard.
- That's. Close your cuffs.
I'm not sure that will
do much good, Hlna.
It makes the sick man nervous
and will bring down the Germans.
Enough, it's hateful!
Jean-Robert... flute...
What are these childish
things about? Here, drink.
Give it to me. I will do. Useless!
If you want to make a
butcher shop, it's up to you.
That is precisely why. I'm going
to get the bullet out at once.
It is better for women to turn.
If I'm not mistaken, I have
brought the alcohol for nothing.
It is the third bullet that I take out.
It is getting more and more painful.
- Open, open!
- Hurry up, English!
I was at the Taboo with Jean
and a nice guy with a mustache
has offered me a pins. He
has asked us a lot of questions.
Liar, you told me you'd go to Jean's house.
I think it was the Gestapo!
Take it easy, Mrs Bourdelle,
it's the French police.
Now "a us we is", documents, please. Hurry!
- What's wrong, I don't understand...
- It's useless to care...
I said: "a us we is"!
While you're there, add the bread tickets.
Let them gently drop to the ground.
Catch them, they're on the table...
Don't you remember me,
chick? The opera in 41...
Do you remember the Soisson vase?
Excuse me, but when you
are nervous, this calms down.
No longer mistreating janitors? Ramirez
has moved up through graduation.
I have waited for this
moment! Now they will find out!
There is a small error. We have always
recognized your many successes, Rami.
Mr. Ramirez! It's over! Rami doesn't exist!
Where is the guy they hide?
- What type, Mr. Ramirez?
- Shut your mouth!
The brat began to tell
us a very interesting story.
- But he left us at the best time.
- What does it mean?
I would like to know the
end. You know what I mean?
- Leave my mother!
- You have won, you whore!
It is you I want to question. Do you
speak or do I prepare a bath for you?
What happens? Who is tortured here?
Shut your mouth! Hands on
your head! Tell me your name!
Spontz. General Spontz.
Forgive me, my general,
I took you for another.
- Who are you?
- Adolfo Ramirez, Gestapo.
Listen, my general, I don't quite
understand... don't you know each other?
You said it was your order.
- Did you say that, toad?
- No, my general, lie how you breathe!
- What am I lying? All are witnesses!
- We've all heard it.
Oh I see. Mr. Fantastic.
How dare you come here
with your horde of filthy rats?
My general, I'm from the
Gestapo. I'm doing an investigation,
I'm just doing my duty. And I
don't know if you meet yours.
And he gives me advice... Very
good. Bring your cheek closer,
I'm going to give you a lesson for memory.
Repeat with me: "I am a donkey."
I am a donkey!
"I think all the terrorists are
found among the German generals."
- It's that girl...
- Shut up!
The bread tickets, my general.
- Yes, he stole our bread tickets.
- Oh, also a thief, huh?
- Give them back!
- Here they are.
The Gestapo is not easily
fooled. I'm going to make a report!
Don't trust him!
He does not know who I
am! I can do everything!
How scary! I can do everything!
Tomorrow the command
headquarters will call my office.
Poor fool! You don't have an office!
I will have one! And he's
pointing his gun at me!
I'm sorry for this unfortunate incident.
I hate people who betray their country.
- Thank you, General Ponche.
- Spontz. General Spontz.
Well, I'm going to leave you.
- Goethe!
- No!
Corneieu.
Great, general!
Good afternoon.
Okay Bernadette, you gave it to Spontz.
If giving it to her means being
polite to someone who just saved us ...!
The color of the pajamas is what saves us.
It's English, get it out of there!
Is everything okay?
I prohibited a search of my home.
I know, boss, but there's a commotion.
50 hostages have been taken.
- They're going to kill them at dawn.
- Dogs, cowards...
- He's trembling. Is he cold?
- I'm not afraid.
Me too, but I don't show it. It
would give them great pleasure.
Think of France. It will
help you swallow the pill.
I'm wrecked, and the pill won't go down.
What bothers me is that
I had a row with Mireille.
Who is Mireille? His wife?
She is my boss in the
network. I only have her.
I was hoping to make up
tonight. I'm going to die angry.
It's stupid.
It won't be any consolation, but I'm
going to slap her for a badly placed sign.
- A what?
- A pharmacy sign.
I can't explain it to you.
Here's the job! And don't forget
that your deliverer is Super Resistant.
Now a hat is going to pass
before you. Be generous
and think of your less fortunate comrades.
For France, and thanks in advance.
- Come on, give me the hats.
- There aren't any.
- What do you mean there are no hats?
- But there are piggy banks.
There you go, when you talk about pasta,
you're not a person anymore. I'm going home.
Let me join your network, I have always
wanted to participate in the Resistance.
- Do I have to ask you on my knees?
- Shut your trap.
It's a cover. Is he irresponsible or what?
- Excuse me, I won't do it anymore, Fremontel.
- No names!
Don't you understand anything? I told
him who it was because we were lost.
But now I regret it!
Nobody knows my true
identity. My battle name is Felix,
forget my real name and forget
everything. Leave me alone!
- You are very tough.
- Hide.
- That light!
- It's incredible, every time I want to
serve the country, I get
rebuked. It is systematic.
Two years ago in Dreux it
was impossible to find anyone.
Felix? Felix?
Wake up. It's me, come on.
I know a shortcut, follow me.
- I'm mistaken.
- It's over.
- What are you doing here?
- Me? Nothing, he was getting some air.
- What's going on?
- I don't know, Mamina.
- Guy-Hubert was at the door.
- I'm beginning to understand, Mom.
Guy-Hubert was throwing out the Englishman.
I'm doing it so as not to spoil your
love affair with General Spontz, old maid.
- What idyll?
- Harry broke a tooth.
Did you bring an Englishman
here with Spontz on top of it?
Please Michel, if you've come back
to talk nonsense, it's not worth it.
But mum, do you know where I come from?
We don't want to know,
Michel. Cowards have no voice.
That's how it is.
Listen? Put me through to Mr. Fremontel.
- Do not hang up.
- Yes thanks.
- Hey, Fremontel?
- Speaking, this is Fremontel.
The cook shakes the noodles.
I repeat: the cook shakes the noodles.
And the Japanese are the cause of China's
rise. Are you already in Paris, Colonel?
Yes, but I'm going back to London tonight.
The Gestapo is following me closely.
You have to move up the
meeting I'm talking about.
- No way, this place is full of Germans!
- No choice. Until now.
Go find Mireille. It was Colonel Vincent.
So fat Churchill put a cigar in his beak
he walks into de Gaulle's
office and yells "pui pui".
It is mean to the English.
Excuse me, I'll be right back.
- What are you doing here?
- Colonel Vincent wants to see you.
He is in Meudon. You
have to come right away.
He had told Felix he couldn't before
4 hours. You know I work on Tuesdays.
The colonel wants to see you before
he goes to London, it's necessary.
Necessary? I am in the middle of work, I
am not going to leave my client halfway.
- Mr. Hubert... Finish.
- Yes, I'm going!
Well, tell him I'll go when I
can. But don't make me angry.
Problems! He can't come,
he has people in his hair salon.
But who does he think
the Super Resistant is?
Put this on.
- This?
- No choice. General von Krapp has just arrived.
I have assured you that I would
be the only customer today,
and with this he will
take him for a servant.
- Michel! Fast!
- Wait for me.
Fremontel, is that the resistance fighter you told
me about? The one who was to be shot with you.
Yes, it's him. He is the owner of
a club in Meudon, "Le Marquis".
We're going to take Harry to
him, and if he's tough he'll handle it.
Don't even think about it. That guy
is a top dog, he can't be bothered.
- We can compromise.
- He's a professional, he's used to it.
Besides, we can't keep Harry here.
No, but listen Mamina...
- I don't have much confidence in him...
- You said you knew him...
since the beginning of the war.
- Yes, but it was just a manner of speaking.
- Hey, that's my suit.
- Very good, Michel,
from time to time you do someone a favor.
We will go through the
garden. I have found the key.
- Well, it's here.
- I repeat, I risk not being well received,
Because that guy is charming,
but he makes me nervous.
What's wrong, Michel? Are you
scared? Do you want me to go?
No, it's fine. I'm coming. I'll tell him.
Hey, open up! I have a cramp!
- Mom, Harry is going to suffocate!
- Quiet,
the baritone Poulac spent two
hours in his trunk before singing.
Wonderfully, and believe me, asking for
your money did not leave him breathless.
It's not that he means badly, but I
can't go in there, he's in disguise.
But what kind of story is that?
- He's right, he's in disguise.
- You see, he was annoyed. Let's go.
Michel! There will be a solution.
Mireille, there's a guy asking
about Felix. If you saw his face...
I am coming right away.
Come this way, asshole.
I have a feeling I was
wrong. Isn't it a costume ball?
- Of course not.
- Well, then it's really me.
I absolutely must see Felix.
- No, you have to go.
- Last night we were together,
it was not long before they shot us.
- Come in.
- At least you can see me.
- I will see what I can do.
- And take that off. It's ridiculous!
- The mustache too?
Well of course.
Thanks for your show. I
have nothing else to do.
This is Colonel Vincent.
Super Resistance Fighter.
- Should I call him Super or Resistance Fighter?
- Call me Super. Nothing else.
There is not a minute to waste.
We are sitting on a powder keg.
Do you know that we are gathering
all the networks? Are you ready to join?
- Yes, if you ask politely.
- Please!
But there's a little problem.
The general appreciates your
action, but has seen your photo
with your costume, and
I'm not going to lie to him...
He said "how crappy".
- Mr. Felix, excuse me...
- Get out of here!
I have to deliver an Englishman!
We can't hide him anymore!
- An Englishman?
- Let him go! - Who?
It can't be! I live with Spontz,
we can't hide him any longer!
Spontz? Do you live with Spontz?
Well, to tell the truth he lives with us.
- Be brief! - It is not interesting.
- It has no interest.
- Get that guy out, to hell with Spontz!
- Nothing like that.
We totally disagree. There we
have a major stumbling block.
Get that guy out, he's an asshole.
- Hey, what makes you say that?
- Do you know this man?
No, and I have no interest in meeting you.
You make judgments too hastily,
Mr. Super Resistance Fighter.
- Super Resistance Fighter!
- Great discretion!
Vincent, professional, thank you.
- Ah, Super Resistance Fighter, you are like a mouse!
- That will be you!
Cover me!
Call the Germans!
They are there!
- Disarm the French!
- This guy is an asshole!
You bust yourself stopping
terrorists, and he shoots me in the leg!
Do you have shit in your eyes, asshole?
I'll be right back. The brakes are on.
Come on, hurry!
- Michel, Michel!
- But what is he doing there?
Quick, over here. I have come to find you.
Do not touch me!
Quick boss, there's an open car!
- And Fremontel?
- He knows the place, he'll manage.
What's Super doing, is he stupid?
Sorry for taking your car
and at such a favorable time.
Do not trust appearances.
I was taking care of him.
Are they being chased?
Are you English? What are you doing here?
- Will you marry her?
- How?
Now that you have stained
her honor, I hope you repair it.
What's the matter, Super? Has he gone mad?
Answer me, you kind of pervert!
Filthy bastard! Nervous wreck!
Pig, you dirty traitor! Pervert!
He has vice written on his face!
No more fussiness, in the name of France!
In London we thought
his costume was grotesque.
But now I know that you
are the grotesque one.
In addition to being ineffective and dangerous.
I leave you alone, fix things as you can.
Colonel, don't leave! It's crazy!
- You can't go out dressed like that.
- Don't give advice on clothes!
Better, we don't need him.
- It's a connecting rod, boss!
- What a mess!
Well. Take this young woman home and bring
the Englishman to safety. I'm leaving.
At last I am in the service of Germany!
And we are in the service of
England as our uniforms show.
And what is this, the Cross of Lorraine?
You're making fools of yourselves!
I'm going to take the license
plates! There will be a report of apa!
Oh, my leg hurts!
You will find out!
I will not disturb?
Not at all. Today I
cannot catch Radio Paris.
I take a quiet time to hear a little span
id="divTranslatedText707" contenteditable="true"music. /span
music.
I know you think that the habit
does not make the monk, but...
it makes you younger, doesn't it?
Smile! I like his smile.
- It bothers me, General.
- You are very beautiful.
I beg you...
Bernadette, there is no need
to be ashamed to be cheerful.
- I don't know anything, I don't know.
- Come on, you have to laugh, have fun.
Look, a good joke for you: There
was a madman painting the ceiling,
Another madman arrives and says: "Hold on to
the brush and I'll take you up the ladder."
What happens? Have I hurt her?
No, general, it is not about you.
It was my father's favorite joke.
Sorry, I did not know.
I've spoiled the mood.
Listen to Strauss's waltz. Do
you want to dance to forgive me?
- I dance very badly.
- "Bitte!"
Between two waltzes, I would like to say
a few words to you, Herr General Spontz.
- Do you know "Mombambre"?
- "Bitte?"
- The castle "Momembre".
- Oh yes, Montbreuse. Excellent.
"Yes," Montbreuse. Absolute security.
- In the countryside.
- Yes, in the countryside.
He asked me to summon Von
Klount... and Von Rountzek as well...
He has asked me to summon all the generals.
- Yes, I won't.
- Is he coming personally?
Hitler has given him all the powers.
He has named him "Reich minister"
and also shows too much zeal.
He has gone into a rage because of you.
He says you are inept. And talks
about demoting him in the next session.
You don't realize, Herr
Haufmann, I do my best!
This Super Resistant is inaccessible!
You will tell him personally
tonight. He will surely appreciate it.
Reassure yourself. He will
not be the only one punished.
There are going to be
changes on the Eastern front.
Perhaps worse... No more fighting in Paris.
- Klougklicht! Does this make you laugh?
- "No, general!"
I'm done...
- If I may, General.
- That?
My brother-in-law works as a
chauffeur for Marshal Goering.
Klougklicht, I don't give a damn.
Gring was also going to have problems.
You know, because of that troop train.
Well, he received it in an extraordinary
way, with music, women and everything.
In the end they were
drunk and thick as thieves.
Not only did he avoid the fight
but he got two additional trains.
Klougklicht, you gave me an idea.
Find right away a list of the
best shows in Paris, let's go!
- "Ja, herr general!"
- Klougklicht... -"Ja!"
I need a hairdresser.
Bring up Madame's son.
- The one who works with the comb.
- Here I am, my general.
All right, at least it's fast.
- How should I cut it, General?
- Short, very short.
I want to be very clean.
Sorry, this is a horrible mistake.
A mistake... It is a great bullshit!
Yes, sir, there are French and French.
One kills oneself getting
reports and gets shot in the leg.
- Shit!
- Mr. Ramirez.
What do you tell me?
Here it is!
Quick, get the shovels and picks!
I have you!
It is done! It has rejuvenated
him a lot, he looks like his son.
- But I don't have children.
- It's a saying.
Today is going to drive
a lot of people crazy.
Avoid talking heads at this time. That?
An excellent Belgian magician: Mandragn.
- Reads the future in the foam of beer.
- Ah, very funny.
- Shall I leave the dye, General?
- Yes, leave it there.
Here on the dresser.
- It's impeccable, General!
- Instead of acting like a monosabio,
take care to find me the
best Bordeaux bottles.
General, the iron is on your
clothes, if you like I'll take it off.
Yes, thanks.
- Goodbye!
- Super! He's gone!
There has to be a trigger...
Don't come back, mum!
I'm as sorry as you are about
what happened to Colette, but
that won't change anything.
- Don't rub salt in the wound.
- Nothing proves they were arrested.
- But the car is gone. Please!
If the family is in danger,
our duty is to be with it.
But that is very easy. When it
suits you I am one of the family,
but usually I'm the last monkey.
- I believe you are Bernadette's boyfriend.
Yes, Bernadette... She has been
making me wait for two years,
he loved Colette.
- I beg your pardon, mamina.
- At last, we were worried.
- You gave us a hard time!
- Oh mum, you are here! I was so frightened!
Colette couldn't find anything
better than driving off without warning.
- But mum...
- I've told you a hundred times:
I don't want you driving without a license.
- Michel, there is a message for you.
From a certain Colonel Vincent. He waits
for you at the church on Montand Street.
He seemed to be very scared.
Colonel Vincent!
- Shut up! Are you crazy?
- It's me, Taupin!
I've ended up hiding
here. They all bothered me.
Ready to help France?
Have you crossed Paris looking like that?
That Super Resistant pig dumped me rudely.
I'll talk about him in London. You are
going to find out what a comb is worth.
It is criminal. They
could have arrested him.
I brought you a time bomb, it's for Spontz.
Latest discovery of the intelligence
service, reduced to the maximum.
The minute hand...
light. An hour late at the most.
- Understood.
- Tell me... what size do you wear?
- How?
- What size pants?
- Ah no, you are too big.
Courage, my friend, and good food.
I will speak of you to
de Gaulle personally.
- Thank you.
- And don't show yourself around looking like that.
What you need to hear!
Did you call us, General?
Ladies, what are you going to do tonight?
Frankly. I'm a soldier. I have
a small favor to ask of you.
I am sorry for you, General,
but it is a matter of honor.
I swore on my husband's grave
that I would not sing for the Germans.
Thank you very much, Mrs.
Bourdelle. I'll probably end up in Irkutsk
with frozen feet.
- I did not force you to wage war, General.
Whoever sows winds reaps storms.
That's the truth, General.
What a mess of a Latin country!
You do a favor and get spat in the face!
And this griffin that resists
me is going to find out!
- General?
- What's going on?
- Ah, it's you.
- General...
I have made a very painful decision.
But I can't tell you anything
before the war is over.
I appreciate you coming up to tell me that.
That does not detract from the affection between
you and me. Between enemies there may be affection.
I'm glad you understood me.
- What does it mean?
- Your burning neck drives me crazy...
the blood pounds in my temples.
What's going on!
Excuse me, General! "My God, he saw us!"
- What are you doing there, spying?
- I haven't seen anything! Open up!
I was passing by... Open
up! Excuse me, General!
I've been following Super
Resistant since this morning,
I discovered a passage with a train!
- What train, you filthy peeping Tom?
There is a train! And a secret passage
leading to the museum of Gothic art!
This revolves, I'll show you. It's true!
This turns! They are behind there! Open up!
- General, you dirtied your uniform!
- You'll pay for this, bitch!
Threats, asshole? I'm
going to calm you down!
General, it's too much.
It's going to drown him.
I'll dry him off!
- I found a beautiful hair dryer!
- I beg you, you're going to burn him!
You're wrong, Spontz, I'll tear it apart!
- Get out of here!
- You scoundrel!
I'm going to leave you, General.
Would you like me to find
some mineral to clean your suit?
That's enough! Outside!
I'm sorry, Bernadette, I think
I'm forced to do a little blackmail.
I'm afraid this impromptu discovery
is going to force your mother
to go sing at Mombreuse.
Departure in an hour!
- But what are they doing here?
- The Gestapo found a subway in the baths.
- You have to flee.
- You came at the right time. You're an ace!
What are those clothes?
Is it Shrove Tuesday?
- You're going to get us all arrested.
- We cannot walk away like thieves,
we owe Hermann an explanation.
That hideous German? Are you kidding!
He is a good man. Not
everything is black or white.
Let's go quickly! I have
to blow up the barracks.
Mrs. Bourdelle, aren't you
ready? The car is waiting.
Yes, we are coming, General.
Bernadette, now I'm sending for your cello.
Mr. Taupin, what is that costume?
- It's for classical music.
- Oh, I understand. Come on, Mrs. Bourdelle.
Ma'am, would you like to follow me?
- Bernadette!
- "You're welcome".
No thanks, I'm wearing it.
- Michel, is he there?
- Leave me alone. They will notice me!
He cannot explode the bomb,
there are many innocents.
Everything is planned, my
dear. At 10 the show is over
and they leave. Mamina asked Spontz.
Only the generals will stay in the room.
And at 10:15, fireworks,
signed Michel Taupin.
- I have an appointment with history.
- What if there is a delay?
We will all die. You
are very childish, Michel.
Of course, he is trying to
save his little friend Spontz.
Do you think I haven't seen
your affair with the general?
Michel, I have the solution. He's
going to put the bomb under the table.
Look, the little door down there, at the
end of the corridor leading to the toilets.
In a minute I will try to distract
them. You have 30 seconds
to slide under the tablecloth. Good luck.
- Thank you.
His insinuations are degrading.
It's all over between us, Michel.
I am sorry that I am suffering.
Very good! Very good music!
What fun.
How nice!
Very clever! We like it!
Ma'am, will you come to the podium, please?
Lovely, everything perfect.
- I want a coffee.
- "Ha, Herr General!"
Beautiful animal.
- General, do you have a moment to choose the pieces?
- Sure.
We plan to start with the Ave Maria
by Gounod. It is simple to center,
solemn, without being heavy.
- Yeah, but wouldn't there be a waltz
like the Blue Danube or Lili Marleen?
- Well, I can sing "Le pet it vin blanc".
- Ah, don't be offended, ma'am,
I wanted something simply animated.
Would you like a glass of champagne
"from before the war", to forgive me?
-No thanks.
Admirable. His voice is crystal
clear. He has broken glasses.
- The Gestapo is in the air.
- Mercy.
Spontz took your mother and Bernadette
to Mombreuse. They were waiting for you.
It seems worried. Is it the
tunnel that worries you?
Not at all, general. I think
of something else, sad things.
Come on, don't be ashamed of your feelings.
- One day, the war will end.
- Street.
Unfortunately, some
destinations do not cross.
Bernadette, you confuse
honor with puritanism.
It can be both modern and decent.
One little kiss, he has
never killed anyone.
- Hermann!
-Klougklicht! Why do you make it so familiar?
He is there!
Come on, to your
instruments! And play loud!
Reich minister von Apfelstrudel is here!
Sorry, general. I mean it's
there in the garden behind.
This flat view is depressing. No?
I've had a dreadful
journey. Especially my leg.
- Aftermath of his attack...
- Shut up, Spontz! That is the past.
- The traitors have paid.
- Excuse me!
- How is the Fhrer?
- Busted like me,
and he is not very friendly to you.
Come on, to work, Spontz.
Leave me! I can fix myself.
It has made amazing progress.
Intensive education, fierce
will and look at the result...
Don't you prefer the front
door? The ladder is smoother.
It doesn't matter, I like
exercise. What is this?
- Well, I mean... it's champagne.
- Made in Reims.
Whoops. They didn't have
a party for me, did they?
- No...
- You're not as stupid as Gring.
He tried to cajole me with
a grotesque party last week.
He still remembers my reprimands.
Only the friendship that he dispenses
our Fhrer has saved him.
Let your brother-in-law come!
What a tough ladder. What
a joke, and I climb it like a kid.
Spontz, Spontz!
This is a disaster.
You can't hear anything!
Am I speaking for the
deaf? Stop that music!
I can't take that infectious
cacophony anymore!
I'm going to end up distributing
cyanide bonbons to everyone
and so there will be less noise.
Bernadette, we're leaving. They
have never spoken to me like this.
What happened?
This is the first time
I've been interrupted.
Even his Fhrer in 33
stood in line to hear me.
It will not be a subordinate
like you who gives me lessons.
- Who is that fat woman?
- It's Madame Bourdelle,
the famous opera singer. La
Bourdelle as it is called here.
Reich Minister Ludwig von Apfelstrudel.
I like your frankness, ma'am.
It's been ten years since nobody
dares to be natural with me.
It's different from all
these crawling dwarves.
Let me invite you to my table.
Food threatens to be moved.
It's not possible. The pump is ready.
What, don't you eat? No appetite?
Depression does not solve problems.
You have to be optimistic.
Not so, Ms. Bidelle?
- Bourdelle. Elena Bourdelle, please.
- Excuse me. I'm going to call him Bu-Bu.
This way I will avoid regrettable mistakes.
I hate to mess up names. On the
other hand, I hate everything, Ms. Bu.
When he has come out of 28
attacks like me, he becomes a bit harsh.
You can't be bitter all your life,
Marshal. You have to be distracted.
Exactly what he told our
Fhrer the day before yesterday:
"Comrade, you will have to smile one day."
By dint of pouting you
will end up in a bunker
flamed like a frankfurter.
All the musicians are gone,
Michel. All arranged with the music.
- What's wrong, you don't like music, miss?
-Yes.
No, she is surprised.
Well, nice to have dinner
with German generals.
Especially with someone close to Hitler.
Have you known him for a long time?
Who, Adolf? He is my half brother.
At first he tried to kidnap me
as in "The Iron Mask", but as an old
man he has become more accommodating.
On the other hand, Ms. Bu, it
is I who wrote "Mein Kampf".
Wait for me here.
I am proud of my grandson.
Wait for me here. If
something happens, get out.
I'm going with you, I won't leave you.
Even as a quarterback, I have no right but
to the 25% supplement,
also of course, 10%...
and 20% to which every
wage earner is entitled...
and that idiot Von Riventrop, he
wanted to put the professional expenses
at 5,000 marks per year.
What do you think, Ms. Bu?
At this time I am no longer standing.
With the curfew we don't have
the habit of going to bed so late.
You don't like the company of the Germans?
Give me another hour to convince
you that we are civilized people.
Bravo Grandpa, flexible as a reed.
Ah well, come over, Mrs
Pourtelle. Do not be afraid.
Did you want to speak to me in private?
Yes... Sit down...
I hate being alone. It
gives me a certain longing.
Yes, okay, but just a minute,
because I think we have to go.
What is going to happen? We are lost.
You say "lost", Mr. Taupin?
- No, I mean, the partridge is delicious.
- Ah, partridge, yes.
You remind me of a little Bavarian
woman I knew very well. Frida.
Oh beautiful woman.
Now he's doing a sexy-comedic
number in Munich. It's not very delicate...
Ride a rubber banana...
and bounces all over the cabaret
scene. All accompanied by harps.
It is a bit vulgar but you have fun.
One is puffed up with bacon and
ham and drunk from beer mugs.
And it ends in a screaming
spree at the zip lines
or vomiting all over the place.
The evening is not wasted.
It must be charming. Those
evenings drive me crazy.
Well, it's over. "Fertig,
kaputt"... She is with another...
and I languish in the sad
autumn. Is it said like this?
When you are sad, you allow everything.
You know, a great conqueror
is a lonely man, always.
Look at your Napoleon who
wrote exciting letters to Josefina,
while Moscow burned. And I
sometimes feel like a foreigner
who is far from home and
wants to yell at a woman...
"I Haven't Changed" by Julio Iglesias.
Herr Reich minister, here are the
eggs if you want to eat them hot.
They are ostrich eggs,
fresh from this morning.
- I think you'll like them.
- Sure, but fast, we're in a hurry.
Yes quickly. 1,2,3,4,5...
The egg is the apple of the cock.
Excuse the question, Reich
minister, how do you get wet in them?
It is very clear: you take a
whole bar, spread it at will...
y se mine.
My slice has fallen
off. I'm going to get it.
He finally likes this.
With you, marshal, it has to be that way.
Come on, Mrs Bourdelle,
the evening went perfectly
until now. Don't spoil
it with your bad mood.
Stand back! I have an "a us we
is"! Come on guys, to your posts!
I'm not in a bad mood.
It's a dash of humor, that is.
Ah, humor... It's what I prefer...
along with the infantry and the heavy men.
Get up from there, Mr. Terrorist!
I am responsible. Excuse me, Mamina.
I have a special nose
for discovering terrorists.
It will be a lesson for some.
Let me pass! "Heil"!
I have discovered who is
Super Resistant. Look, it's him!
It's ridiculous. I am Michel
Taupin, a Latin teacher.
- None of that, it's him! Look!
- Who is this new attraction?
Adolfo Ramirez, French
Gestapo. Heil Hitler!
I have dismantled the entire
Super Resistant network.
His hiding place, the little train...
Are you going to decorate me?
Stop him! Let them shoot
him with the other French!
Don't make me stop, I'm a traitor!
I asked for it! I'm on your side!
I have given up almost
everyone! I'm barely French!
Reich minister, you cannot
convict without studying the report.
You have to make a judgment in order!
Agree. Because it's about you.
Stop Spontz! He will be
shot with the other French!
Well done! He burned my
neck with an iron. He is a traitor!
- Lie!
- There is only one traitor in this room!
- And it's you, Ramirez!
- Super Resistant!
They want to know my name,
see my face... I am the devil!
It's him! The one I said! Super Resistant!
Surprised, Apfel? Did you know
the judgment of God, wretch?
It is a man-to-man combat.
I am greatly amused. I
have been a weapons master.
They called me the d'Artagnan of Cologne.
Well, d'Artagnan, let's both go!
My leg!
- Coward, run away!
- Nothing of the sort!
Guards, seize him!
Too late, we have won!
Well done, Papy!
- My son!
- It's Guy-Hubert!
- Please don't shoot! I'm a hostage!
-Me too!
Adolfo Ramirez and von
Apfelstrudel were run over hours later...
by a German truck, as they tried
to free each other from their bonds,
writhing in the road. The driver stated:
"I thought it was an animal. It
scared me and I stepped on the gas."
The Bourdelle family returned to
the Resistance and ended the war
brilliantly with weapons in hand. In
August '44, next to General Leclerc,
Super Resistant and Michel Taupin
participated in the liberation of Paris.
I have to tell you that we have all
seen here on set and with great attention
this movie that describes one of the most
difficult and painful times in our history.
And if we have, it is because
of everyone around me.
They are the main actors of the drama that
we have just experienced on the screen.
And I'd like to introduce them to
you again before I give you the floor.
I will start with Mrs. Bernadette Bourdelle,
daughter of the famous singer Hlna Bourdelle.
Her brother, Guy-Hubert Bourdelle,
who we will know about immediately
whether or not he was Super Resistant.
Mr. Ramirez Jr., son of Adolfo Ramirez
and who has come especially from
Bolivia to participate in this debate.
General Spontz who resided
at the Bourdelles' in Paris...
and Michel Taupin, minister
of former combatants,
and who saw fit to accept
participation in this great broadcast.
It is a pleasure for me to
come simply, without stories,
with my dear comrades.
- Do you have any comments?
- I wanted to say...
- Wait, everyone their turn.
- First, Mr. Minister.
- I'm totally shocked.
Reality has been presented to
us in a hideously caricatured way,
not to mention grotesque. I pass
over the story of Hitler's half brother,
in very bad taste, to go
straight to my character.
Who is presented as a fickle
man on the edge of disability.
Let's be serious, even if it is only
out of respect for those who see us,
If I have been appointed minister of
the former combatants, it is not by chance.
As for the Bourdelle family, I had the great
privilege of rubbing shoulders with them.
And when one knows what the
work of this family has really meant
during the war and the
difficulty of living at this time,
one finds that this movie
is nothing but rubbish,
And I'm surprised,
Mr. Jerome, that TV has chosen...
this movie.
- Everything is false, from A to Z!
The characters are ridiculous. The
minister complains, and what should I say?
Anyway, what is that puppet that is
sometimes soft, other times provocative,
and at other times unclear? The
costume attributed to me is delightful...!
Mr. Ramirez, do you want to intervene?
Mr. Ramirez, one question:
do you speak French?
- Yes, why?
- If so, the debate will gain in clarity.
- Well, I'll speak in French.
- What is this masquerade?
I want to remind you that my
father had not joined the Gestapo,
but to infiltrate it from
within. He was a double agent.
Mr. Ramirez, if you were a double
agent, then I am a KGB agent.
Please, were you Super Resistant or not?
I have nothing to do with
that operetta superman.
I was a trainee hairdresser at
Madeleine, I had a lot of work,
and I only had to carry two or
three messages for the Resistance.
- We're not going to make a big deal out of it.
- No, Mr. Bourdelle is much more modest
and that honours him, but it is true that
he was a member of an active network,
of course with no mask, but he
was well known in the Resistance
under the name Esparadrapo.
- Sticking plaster?
That is ancient history. Young
people are no longer interested in it,
what they need now are muscular
and virile heroes, like Rocky.
"Esparadrapo"... why
not Roudoudou Raplapl?
When the painful hours
of France were lived,
from Montoir to Omaha Beach,
- Believe me...
- Please, Mr. Ramirez.
It seems you have to be a minister
to have the floor in this debate!
If that bothers you, then what
you have to do is become a minister!
- How vulgar!
- Please calm down. - "Bitte"...
I never participated in that SS
meeting at Montbreuse Castle.
And besides, I was part of
the Wehrmacht, I remember,
and around that time I was
doing a liver cure in Louchon.
General, you have listened
to the spectators' questions,
they would like to know whether or not you
married Bernadette Bourdelle after the war.
Personally I don't like this question.
I'd rather it be asked to my wife.
Mrs. Bourdelle, do you
want to answer this question?
What does this have to do with
the debate on the Resistance?
Sorry, it's private. It is private!
I'm sorry, but you've heard
it, many people want to know
whether you married General Spontz.
The general and I were
married in May '52, in Vienna.
And I must say that I do not understand
all this very well, because the film
confuses my story and that of
my sister Colette, who indeed
married Mr. McBarrett.
- The English aviator?
They currently live very happily in Sussex,
where they have a breeding
farm of 20 thousand pigs,
and if they are not here it
is because animals require,
Mr. Ramirez, very careful attention.
You have to scratch their skin
every day, and in this
trade there are no holidays.
In any case, there they are on the screen.
Harry the English aviator,
and Colette McBarrett.
There was talk a moment ago
of a wedding held in May 52...
Exactly, Mr. Ramirez.
It is because this marriage had
been consummated long before...
I remember how my father told
us laughing how he had surprised.
Spontz and Mrs. Bourdelle in the kitchen
in a somewhat compromising position.
You were not very dressed...
You disgust me, you dirty liar!
Make up something else!
I have no need to. Everything is made up.
Let's look at La Bourdelle, the fat woman...
the singer. In the film she is
presented with the features of a great
international singer, a diva,
who refuses to sing for the SS.
She worked in six nightclubs in Pigalle
only to end up at the One-Two-Two
at 6 with her nose hanging.
This is what we've come to! I'm leaving!
- Enough, gentlemen!
- My general...
I also claim that the minister
present here pocketed
two million gold francs that Andr
Legouen had given to the Resistance.
Watch out Ramirez, don't go too far!
Let's get out of this masquerade!
What a job you people do!
- It's a mistake for you to leave.
- The press is rotten!
- Give me the Audi keys!
- You have them.
- No, you have them, cretin!
- Mr. Jerome, I have been called into question,
I demand the right to reply!
- Stop it, Mr. Ramirez!
You've been looking down
on everyone for a long time!
I wonder what I'm doing here!
And watch out, because I'm
going to scream really loud!
Gentlemen, could you not continue
this debate calmly and with dignity?
And I haven't said everything!
I know it was Super Resistant,
who coldly strangled
Enrique with his bare hands
because he was sleeping
with his sister Colette!
Enough, enough! It is a disgrace!
There are no words to
describe what you are, Ramirez!
There is only one word: fag!
- No, Mr. Bourdelle, be respectful.
- Nothing else came to mind.
- Take back what you just said!
- Now you're going to find out, pig!
Gentlemen, please!
Take this, disgusting
man, from the Government!
This is the end, this is
how this broadcast ends.

The German eagle has closed its
claws on the France of Ambroise Par.
France that lived in the
sunny memory of Austerlitz,
It comes into contact with Waterloo.
The French, generally so
jovial, is mortified and suffers.
Of course, some get used to it well.
But others have happily kept their pride.
My dear friend, at least you
don't hide your sympathies.
The former janitor was less sincere.
Are you the one who
supplies the paint, Mr. Ramirez?
From de Gaulle.
Excuse me, when one
is nervous this reassures.
Shut up, Miss Bourdelle!
And get out, virtuous
ones! And long live Petain!
I am with the great Germany!
Europe, the great Europe! Heil Hitler!
You bitches!
A kind of great bourgeois!
And who are you with?
Distrust! We'll see.
Jean, don't insist.
No, Andr will not conduct an orchestra
as long as there is only one German
on French soil. It is clear, right?
Yes, Jean, you are a good
businessman. That's not the question.
It is a question of
patriotism. Is it tough or what?
No. Listen, already in the year 34, in Milan,
we refused to play before the fascists.
And if Count Ciano hadn't crawled
to our feet at that reception...
Don't beat us up with your
memories. Tell him no and that's it.
We will play within 6 months.
No, money is not
everything. We will fix it.
We will rent the rooms! This is huge.
And if we sell the Rolls, we
have Papy's Talbot. Goodbye!
- Have you taken it the wrong way?
- Put yourself in his place! You lose your commission!
It is not to make concessions.
Indeed, concessions. Andr
Bourdelle no longer does them.
For a year now, behind the back of his
family, he has led a resistance network.
In hiding, he's only Captain Remon.
What's up, Andr?
Let's go, let's respect the schedule.
It's blocked, right!
Today we are not lucky. Gives
back, we will see in the presbytery.
Oh, very good, my general!
And says it's the first time
who takes a racket... But he
does some dunks like nobody else!
Yes, his style resembles
Borotra's. Do you know Borotra?
- The alpinist?
- Well... a great athlete.
- Good morning sir.
- Good Morning.
Shit!
- It's good wine.
- Thank you.
Help!
- Father!
- I'll be right back!
Quita, pooch! It's playful, huh?
The weapons are there, they
have been dropped tonight.
It's not too soon, we can finally work.
Magnificent!
Tell me, Remon, are you
still looking for a tenant?
There is a boy here next
door, protected from Mrs. Norvil
looking for accommodation in Paris.
He doesn't look wise, but he does.
Latin license and has found a
vigilante position at Jeanson de Sailly.
Stay here, father, I'm on a mission.
Quick, guys!
Sorry to insist Remon, but Mrs. Norvil
does us a lot of favors for landings,
I'm afraid if I say no...
- Well, I'll go see him, but I shouldn't.
It will be fixed.
Good Morning.
I appreciate it infinite.
It is a great honor to stay
with great artists like you.
It is wonderful. "They are 350 francs
a month, and a two-month deposit."
Ah, don't tell me...
A few words of introduction for my wife.
- Thank you.
- I leave you alone.
Sacred work that de Gaulle does.
I admire the Resistance,
I have tried to participate
myself... but it is very closed.
It is normal because it is secret,
and I understand that it is not spoken
- of it to anyone.
- If that is.
And don't express your opinions
to everyone. It's very dangerous.
- He'll be in Paris tomorrow.
- Can't you take me?
Not going to the station? No thanks!
Here, it's the new grenades.
It's the latest in America!
Watch out captain, he's very sensitive.
You are right, you are.
Grab it, grab it! It seems! It seems!
Doesn't it explode?
Andr Bourdelle was gone.
Two years later, his
house still kept his memory
when she was brutally
assaulted by the Germans.
Stop! Documents, please.
- Michel Taupin, I live here.
- Ja.
Is there someone? Darling, it's me!
Get up quickly. I'm in his room.
The Germans settle here.
They send us a general.
The letter is on the bedside table.
- Well, they just requisition a room.
- Yes, and we have chosen yours.
You have to know how
to bite the bullet. It is war.
But why my room in
particular? Darling, I...
In two years I have changed rooms
three times. To greater knowledge,
greatest darling. Also, getting smaller.
I can't accept sleeping anywhere.
Michel, this room is not just any place.
And look at this. So
you don't get up at night.
Thanks, but I find it too precarious.
No! The servants lived here until last year
and they were delighted.
It's painful enough to have
those dirty Germans in our home,
dont overdo it, Michel.
- Michel, its painful.
What if we shared his room? We are engaged.
- But Michel, are you delirious?
- Its not worth wearing yourself out,
a general wont stay in a
room without a bathroom.
The winners are the Germans, I remind you.
What you have to do is
take Michel's clothes out.
Yes darling. There is no other place.
No one will sleep in your father's room!
- And dont wink!
- Thats very vulgar!
If you want to accommodate the
Germans, offer them your room.
- Michel will give you his place in the attic.
- With pleasure.
And I remind you that my rent
has gone up to 1200 francs a month,
- thats too much for a hovel!
- You idiot!
And he throws his francs in our faces!
Do you think with that he can support
the family for a whole month?
Live by the sweat of your hands.
You know, Im done taking your advice.
Guys, let's not argue over
something so small. Calm down.
It's clear we dont have
space, I dont deny it.
Im going to see the Germans
and explain that we cannot receive
that general because
it's small, and that's it.
Good for the statue, bravo! What happiness!
Its a dialect that hits! Its Beethoven!
- Youre an idiot!
- Papy, let me explain nicely.
- Yes, Papy!
- Be polite, or well have problems!
Colonel, have you read the
requisition order properly?
Let's take care of the old man!
What did you say?
Come upstairs, mom. Ill explain kindly.
You will discover these slogans!
Light, Papy! You cant
give orders with a candle!
If we turn on all the lamps at
the same time it's normal it blows.
Silence! It's a cut. This
doesnt come from here.
With my little DIY I hope to
light up the whole neighborhood,
shut up, you bunch of useless people.
If you hadnt insulted them,
we wouldnt be in this situation.
- Save your outbursts.
- Okay...
Michel, please dont smoke.
If we want breathable
air, we have to do our part.
He's right, Mamina. Living
together requires discipline.
- Where are the owners?
- We preferred to install them in another
part of the house, without disturbance.
With this humidity the sheets
are moldy. Dirty Germans!
Mom, they broke the gramophone.
Thats not what you expected.
I know mistakes have been made and
we will find the culprits. I
will inform the first officer.
And that sergeant will deal with it.
There will surely be compensation.
But mom, it's not about
moving, it's the Reich army!
They are invaders! Attila
never returned a penny.
- And they have all the rights!
- Shut up, were ashamed!
You sound like German radio.
But German radio says true things.
And it plays good records.
You disgust me! Son of a resistance
fighter and you talk like that!
If he were here, youd see!
- What is Papy doing?
- He sawed the device in two.
Half for the men, the
other half for the women.
It has to be programmed.
But youre not going to
saw all the furniture in two!
Careful, I dont sleep
in the middle of a bed!
Silence, collaborator! I said
men there and women there,
and you here.
- All this is seeping through.
Do you think were going
to stay long in this cave?
Michel, at this moment nothing is certain.
Well I disagree. We will
not accept the impositions
of the Germans without
reacting. Never at the Bourdelles!
What is that?
I fear it's the Marseillaise.
Its shameful! I dont agree.
I dont want to pay the price
for you. We will end our days
in a German mission
guarded by Frenchmen. Papy!
I fear nothing! The Germans give me energy.
Now its fine!
I get the feeling they are coming.
Silence please! Herr General Spontz!
Excellent, Mrs. Bourdelle. However, I
prefer them with another repertoire.
I was extremely lucky to
hear you in Bayreuth in 34.
Your interpretation of Carmen moved me.
What a success that night.
Of course it's war, and I
respect your patriotism, madam.
- Goethe.
- Well, young man, bravo. What culture.
Thank you, general.
Your house is splendid. I hope
Im not disturbing you too much.
Not at all, were in the cellar.
I see. Thats unacceptable. We can share.
We prefer to stay here.
We already knew the dampness
of the Great War. You get used to it.
Very well. As you wish. In the
bathroom there are clothes that...
Does it bother you? It's mine.
Ill get them when theyre dry.
- Theyre dry, Mr Bourdelle.
- Then leave them on the landing,
Ill pick them up right away.
- They are in your house.
My respects, madam. Dont
worry, Ill be as discreet as a hyena.
Thanks for your help, Hubert. Now
you just have to join the German army.
- Whats going on?
- Goethe! Traitor!
Silence!
What do they want?
Theyre complaining about the
cellar... they say theyve been evicted
I dont know if we did the right
thing coming. We waited two hours.
- They don't want to receive us.
- We are within our rights,
the circular requires a
room, not the whole house.
They have to receive us.
Lieutenant, could you tell the person who is
supposed to receive us that we are waiting?
- What did you say?
- I don't know if they will cooperate the way you thought, Mamina.
But that's no reason to give up.
- What does he want?
- Please!
The bayonet.
Don't be an idiot, Michel.
It's dangerous, they're going to arrest us.
- There are sentries everywhere.
- They're behind, don't be a coward.
- Darling, that's not really the point.
- Stop calling me "darling",
it's far too premature. And
I'm not marrying a coward.
- Bernadette, don't mix things up.
- Leave it, Mamina, I'll do it.
Mr. Mira is going to receive you. Hurry up.
Good luck!
It says here: one room.
I made a list of damaged
objects, and even stolen ones.
You did very well.
You would be surprised to see
how sensitive the Wehrmacht is
to the complaints coming from here.
- Even better.
They installed a telephone
switchboard in the music room.
And we can't rehearse And
for musicians not to rehearse
is dramatic.
- Listen, first and foremost I'm French,
and I see things as a Frenchman.
They speak badly about the Germans, but they
make efforts, and they are not forced to.
Here for example, we are fed,
kept warm, perhaps too warm.
I've caught a cold.
It seems they are offering us a
good opportunity, think about it.
And meanwhile, France
is slowly rising again.
And also, as I always say, those
who do not share my opinion,
that they would have won the
war. Well, no joke... that's the truth.
- What rank does that officer have?
- General.
Aha... he's my first general,
I won't hide it from him.
Anyway, you need to rehearse, that's true.
It is normal, of course. Tell me...
Isn't there by any chance
a Jew in your family?
- What?
- Jew...
Don't kill me, I'm only an official!
Your coat, quick!
Go quickly.
- What happened?
- I saved the situation,
I went to retrieve the papers,
your name and address are on them.
- Did three come in?
- Yes.
- Three have to come out.
- Sure, that's normal.
You stay behind. Give us two minutes.
- And why me?
- You're not going to sacrifice Michel?
We can't leave him. If they discover
the dead man, they'll hang him!
All he'll do is let us go first.
You'll go through the checkpoint later, at the
slightest inconvenience I'll cover for you.
Leave at least a minute later. Good luck.
- Papers.
- We came to see Mr. Mira.
I'm accompanying those ladies.
Wait for me in the street.
- Wass? Has the Englishman escaped?
- Huh? Shit!
Run, we're lost!
Here we go. It's very calm.
- What are you doing?
- He's trembling from head to toe,
he has a fever of 40!
- He's going to faint!
Look for salts, Melissa water!
- And where do I get it?
- In a pharmacy, idiot!
- What is Melissa water for?
- It works for everything. In Buenos Aires,
in the middle of the opera, the
baritone Zofroua Poulain cut his finger.
Okay, Mamina, but it's risky.
It would be better to hide
and quietly wait for nightfall.
- Don't be afraid, Michel!
I'm not going around the shops screaming
that I have an Englishman in my arms.
- Either follow my plan or I'm leaving!
- Do you want a couple of slaps?
Of course!
- Hey, worm! Do you think you're just going to leave?
- How?
Look what you've done to the car.
If it wasn't broken, I barely
touched the shop window...
Do you take me for an
idiot? You knocked it down.
Listen, the car is fine, it's intact.
Let's enjoy the party in peace.
You scoundrel! He did it
on purpose! Mrs. Piccard!
That's at least 200 francs
in damages! Mrs. Gomez!
No way, that's too much. I'm
the one who should complain
your sign could have hurt me. Do
you realize you could have killed me?
Come on, shut up, bug!
Halt, sir!
- Do we have problems with manners?
- Beat him up Ralph, don't argue.
- You broke Mrs. Gomez's stroller, huh?
- That's at least 200 francs.
Wow, he's not so cocky now.
His swagger has gone down.
What's this about insulting honest
people? That's very easy, right?
- Now that'll teach him.
- It's ridiculous...
What a gang of scoundrels. They arrest me
when I'm the one who should be complaining.
It's really not my day.
- Why are you here?
- I killed three Germans.
Oh yeah?
It's rotten, yes. You don't
leave people like that.
It must have been nerves. It happens
to anyone, or you didn't find a pharmacy.
You're kidding... he threatened to
leave us and he did it, he's a coward.
- And to think I was going to marry him.
- Yes, disappointing.
- Light, please.
- What?
- Ah, excuse me.
- Thank you.
- You're not very emotional.
- When I start a book
I have to know how it ends.
Do you think we'll go by train?
I would be surprised. Look
at the signs on the wall.
Shit...
There are only two. I'll pretend
to stumble, like the queen mother
before Abdullah's tomb when he wants to draw the king's attention.
-Yes.
Come on, Hans. The old
woman has screwed up her knee.
I screwed up my kneecap!
- Do you have the keys?
- Mom has gone looking for them.
Is it better?
- Is it better, sir?
- Yes, I'm fine now, thanks.
Get in!
But it is very small, I will
never be able to get inside.
You're starting to get heavy!
It is not us who have gone
to look for him! You are the one who got us into
this mess! And it's going to get in the trunk!
From there it does not happen!
Ah, that's it, Gustav! You had a good trip?
- Have you had a good trip?
- Yes, Herr General!
We are going to unpack. We
have many things to tell each other.
It's bleeding. I'm going
to get some cotton.
Miss Bourdelle, may I
introduce you to a friend?
I do not have much time.
He is the most gifted character
of his generation. Can we come in?
Nerd! I will not let a woman drive my car!
The last time I broke the door.
Papy, it was 4 years ago.
- Papy, she's vanished.
- What a bundle, let's put it in the basket.
This is the assistant chief, Gustav.
Found it in Russia, thin as a noodle.
The only survivor of a dead city.
Then we rejoice...
- Is it a gentleman or a lady?
- He's a grandpa.
- He's fat.
- Gustav...
He's a bit agitated since
the Fhrer decorated him...
He has a good head!
C'mon, c'mon!
It's clothing, it's heavy.
- Push, push, Papy!
- But what do you think I'm doing? Knitting?
It would be said.
But what is he doing with that rope?
- It's to help you.
- Is he bad in the head or what?
No more help! Go find Bernadette.
- Danke.
- Do not move.
Bernadette!
Ah Mrs Bourdelle, what a pleasure!
He had had the honor of receiving
the daughter, and now the mother.
Two at once. I offer you a drink.
No, I went up to look for Bernadette.
We have to take clothes to the laundry.
Ah, the delicate clothes. That is Paris.
Mr. Bourdelle, do you
want to come this way, bitte?
What's this?
- They're potatoes, it's obvious.
- It's tobacco! Do you take me for an idiot?
- Is prohibited!
- It's for my personal use.
- What is it, Klougklicht?
- Ah, General, be on time.
The man is trampling my tomatoes.
It's tobacco, Herr General!
Too much zeal, asshole!
Go smoke on the patio!
Look, you've made me nervous
about the responsibilities you have.
You Germans are not delicate. And
I'm not saying that for you, General.
Wait a minute, excuse me. What happens?
An attempt has been made
on General Muller's life.
- He has dropped the Englishman, he is foolish.
- Today everything goes wrong.
Ladies, sorry, a setback.
We'll see you later.
It's not my fault. That,
or no tobacco for a year.
Oh it is, kaput el bal.
- It's nothing, just clothes.
- It's very heavy, old rags.
English embroidery.
At last! A good moment.
Here, my dear successor. I
wish you a lot of happiness.
No thanks!
My bags were packed. I was going
to go out, and I wanted to take a nap.
The bomb was on the pillow.
That Super Resistant, who is he?
You will know him. Without
him, Paris would be a paradise.
That mask... It looks like a puppet!
Here it is! From the first
day it attacks you, it is a sign.
Welcome to Paris, General Spontz!
In full front! It's provocative, isn't it?
Stop laughing like a fool!
I'll lock up that Super
Resistant within 15 days!
Museum of Gothic Art Closed.
Because Dunkirk... excuse me, I
don't want to speak ill of the English,
but they are run like cowards.
And Mers El Kebir, wasn't it treason?
Are you able to remove
the bullet from the foot?
Papy was a vet. It will be fine.
And yet I like England,
I used to play rugby.
I even had a relationship with a cousin of
the royal family... I'm saying
no more, French prudence.
I had a comrade in Tobruk, they
gave him a bad cure, gangrene,
they cut off his leg.
- Yes, sometimes it happens.
But what is the diva doing
with the instruments now?
- Mom?
- Fool! You scared me.
But what are you doing here?
- Papy is operating on an Englishman in the cave.
- That?
- Thanks for your speed, mamina. Has died.
- That?
It is not a joke. You
will need to hold him.
Let's cut the steak. It's Sunday.
Papy, what things have...
- That's right Papy, you're exaggerating.
- But I'm dreaming!
Have you brought an Englishman? Do you
know how many Germans are in this house?
Enough, Guy-Hubert! If
you are afraid, you can go!
- How did you get here?
- Mom and I have brought it.
- A collaborator was uploaded.
- That? That's too much!
A criminal! And they bring it to you!
You don't say "she" when she is the mother.
- And you only whistle in the stables.
- The age of private classes is over.
- Now we talk about more important things.
- Silence!
I am going to operate.
Put this in your mouth so you don't scream.
Wait. Wouldn't you have a glass
of alcohol? That would help me.
I'm sorry. Since 40 we have nothing.
- Yes, I know where it is.
- You will not operate on this one!
We'd be in big trouble!
Bernadette, come back
immediately! Are you crazy or what?
Spontz has a bottle of snaps.
What we have to do is find
a doctor. Where's Colette?
He's at Jean's house. It is more prudent.
Bernadette, you can't go in where Spontz.
Help me search, Guy-Hubert!
It is a leather bottle.
No! I won't touch anything!
You will have us shot like spies.
What a coward!
Coward, and proud to be!
- Let's go! -Let me!
- You hurt my shoulder!
Kind of blond cow!
Tomorrow at six. And not one more
noise. I don't want to hear a fly fly!
- What's going on?
- It's me, General.
Mom has gotten cold and was looking
for some alcohol to make her a punch.
You have done well. It would have been better
to turn on the light. The bottle is there.
As you had offered me a
moment ago, with all the kindness,
I have abused, I confess.
- Nothing happens.
A beautiful woman is allowed everything.
Also, Parisians have a
kind of indefinable charm.
Who has rummaged my suitcase?
Sorry, General, I must
have scrambled everything.
Bernadette...
Bernadette... do you want
to answer me honestly?
How about my pajamas?
- I beg your pardon, General.
- Horrible, huh?
They force us to buy them in
greenish or burgundy brown.
- What a horor!
- Yeah, I guess, those are...
But you know, general,
what is worth in man is man.
Not the dress. Thank you.
Gustav, I think I've been ripped off.
Anyway! You are in the
same situation as I am.
What, Gustav? Do you fight alone?
Has the cat scratched you?
I had to defend myself, he
was not going to leave me!
Daddy, don't be sadistic! Wait
for him to drink a glass of alcohol.
She is a little woman. On the 14th I
operated on a Romanian's eye with a spoon.
The guy was delighted.
It always corresponds.
And don't blow my head, please!
- Hush Papy, Spontz is back!
- I'll make Easter for that one!
- On foot, on horseback, and by car.
- Listen, I'm going to make noise...
so the moans will not be heard.
- That's. Close your cuffs.
I'm not sure that will
do much good, Hlna.
It makes the sick man nervous
and will bring down the Germans.
Enough, it's hateful!
Jean-Robert... flute...
What are these childish
things about? Here, drink.
Give it to me. I will do. Useless!
If you want to make a
butcher shop, it's up to you.
That is precisely why. I'm going
to get the bullet out at once.
It is better for women to turn.
If I'm not mistaken, I have
brought the alcohol for nothing.
It is the third bullet that I take out.
It is getting more and more painful.
- Open, open!
- Hurry up, English!
I was at the Taboo with Jean
and a nice guy with a mustache
has offered me a pins. He
has asked us a lot of questions.
Liar, you told me you'd go to Jean's house.
I think it was the Gestapo!
Take it easy, Mrs Bourdelle,
it's the French police.
Now "a us we is", documents, please. Hurry!
- What's wrong, I don't understand...
- It's useless to care...
I said: "a us we is"!
While you're there, add the bread tickets.
Let them gently drop to the ground.
Catch them, they're on the table...
Don't you remember me,
chick? The opera in 41...
Do you remember the Soisson vase?
Excuse me, but when you
are nervous, this calms down.
No longer mistreating janitors? Ramirez
has moved up through graduation.
I have waited for this
moment! Now they will find out!
There is a small error. We have always
recognized your many successes, Rami.
Mr. Ramirez! It's over! Rami doesn't exist!
Where is the guy they hide?
- What type, Mr. Ramirez?
- Shut your mouth!
The brat began to tell
us a very interesting story.
- But he left us at the best time.
- What does it mean?
I would like to know the
end. You know what I mean?
- Leave my mother!
- You have won, you whore!
It is you I want to question. Do you
speak or do I prepare a bath for you?
What happens? Who is tortured here?
Shut your mouth! Hands on
your head! Tell me your name!
Spontz. General Spontz.
Forgive me, my general,
I took you for another.
- Who are you?
- Adolfo Ramirez, Gestapo.
Listen, my general, I don't quite
understand... don't you know each other?
You said it was your order.
- Did you say that, toad?
- No, my general, lie how you breathe!
- What am I lying? All are witnesses!
- We've all heard it.
Oh I see. Mr. Fantastic.
How dare you come here
with your horde of filthy rats?
My general, I'm from the
Gestapo. I'm doing an investigation,
I'm just doing my duty. And I
don't know if you meet yours.
And he gives me advice... Very
good. Bring your cheek closer,
I'm going to give you a lesson for memory.
Repeat with me: "I am a donkey."
I am a donkey!
"I think all the terrorists are
found among the German generals."
- It's that girl...
- Shut up!
The bread tickets, my general.
- Yes, he stole our bread tickets.
- Oh, also a thief, huh?
- Give them back!
- Here they are.
The Gestapo is not easily
fooled. I'm going to make a report!
Don't trust him!
He does not know who I
am! I can do everything!
How scary! I can do everything!
Tomorrow the command
headquarters will call my office.
Poor fool! You don't have an office!
I will have one! And he's
pointing his gun at me!
I'm sorry for this unfortunate incident.
I hate people who betray their country.
- Thank you, General Ponche.
- Spontz. General Spontz.
Well, I'm going to leave you.
- Goethe!
- No!
Corneieu.
Great, general!
Good afternoon.
Okay Bernadette, you gave it to Spontz.
If giving it to her means being
polite to someone who just saved us ...!
The color of the pajamas is what saves us.
It's English, get it out of there!
Is everything okay?
I prohibited a search of my home.
I know, boss, but there's a commotion.
50 hostages have been taken.
- They're going to kill them at dawn.
- Dogs, cowards...
- He's trembling. Is he cold?
- I'm not afraid.
Me too, but I don't show it. It
would give them great pleasure.
Think of France. It will
help you swallow the pill.
I'm wrecked, and the pill won't go down.
What bothers me is that
I had a row with Mireille.
Who is Mireille? His wife?
She is my boss in the
network. I only have her.
I was hoping to make up
tonight. I'm going to die angry.
It's stupid.
It won't be any consolation, but I'm
going to slap her for a badly placed sign.
- A what?
- A pharmacy sign.
I can't explain it to you.
Here's the job! And don't forget
that your deliverer is Super Resistant.
Now a hat is going to pass
before you. Be generous
and think of your less fortunate comrades.
For France, and thanks in advance.
- Come on, give me the hats.
- There aren't any.
- What do you mean there are no hats?
- But there are piggy banks.
There you go, when you talk about pasta,
you're not a person anymore. I'm going home.
Let me join your network, I have always
wanted to participate in the Resistance.
- Do I have to ask you on my knees?
- Shut your trap.
It's a cover. Is he irresponsible or what?
- Excuse me, I won't do it anymore, Fremontel.
- No names!
Don't you understand anything? I told
him who it was because we were lost.
But now I regret it!
Nobody knows my true
identity. My battle name is Felix,
forget my real name and forget
everything. Leave me alone!
- You are very tough.
- Hide.
- That light!
- It's incredible, every time I want to
serve the country, I get
rebuked. It is systematic.
Two years ago in Dreux it
was impossible to find anyone.
Felix? Felix?
Wake up. It's me, come on.
I know a shortcut, follow me.
- I'm mistaken.
- It's over.
- What are you doing here?
- Me? Nothing, he was getting some air.
- What's going on?
- I don't know, Mamina.
- Guy-Hubert was at the door.
- I'm beginning to understand, Mom.
Guy-Hubert was throwing out the Englishman.
I'm doing it so as not to spoil your
love affair with General Spontz, old maid.
- What idyll?
- Harry broke a tooth.
Did you bring an Englishman
here with Spontz on top of it?
Please Michel, if you've come back
to talk nonsense, it's not worth it.
But mum, do you know where I come from?
We don't want to know,
Michel. Cowards have no voice.
That's how it is.
Listen? Put me through to Mr. Fremontel.
- Do not hang up.
- Yes thanks.
- Hey, Fremontel?
- Speaking, this is Fremontel.
The cook shakes the noodles.
I repeat: the cook shakes the noodles.
And the Japanese are the cause of China's
rise. Are you already in Paris, Colonel?
Yes, but I'm going back to London tonight.
The Gestapo is following me closely.
You have to move up the
meeting I'm talking about.
- No way, this place is full of Germans!
- No choice. Until now.
Go find Mireille. It was Colonel Vincent.
So fat Churchill put a cigar in his beak
he walks into de Gaulle's
office and yells "pui pui".
It is mean to the English.
Excuse me, I'll be right back.
- What are you doing here?
- Colonel Vincent wants to see you.
He is in Meudon. You
have to come right away.
He had told Felix he couldn't before
4 hours. You know I work on Tuesdays.
The colonel wants to see you before
he goes to London, it's necessary.
Necessary? I am in the middle of work, I
am not going to leave my client halfway.
- Mr. Hubert... Finish.
- Yes, I'm going!
Well, tell him I'll go when I
can. But don't make me angry.
Problems! He can't come,
he has people in his hair salon.
But who does he think
the Super Resistant is?
Put this on.
- This?
- No choice. General von Krapp has just arrived.
I have assured you that I would
be the only customer today,
and with this he will
take him for a servant.
- Michel! Fast!
- Wait for me.
Fremontel, is that the resistance fighter you told
me about? The one who was to be shot with you.
Yes, it's him. He is the owner of
a club in Meudon, "Le Marquis".
We're going to take Harry to
him, and if he's tough he'll handle it.
Don't even think about it. That guy
is a top dog, he can't be bothered.
- We can compromise.
- He's a professional, he's used to it.
Besides, we can't keep Harry here.
No, but listen Mamina...
- I don't have much confidence in him...
- You said you knew him...
since the beginning of the war.
- Yes, but it was just a manner of speaking.
- Hey, that's my suit.
- Very good, Michel,
from time to time you do someone a favor.
We will go through the
garden. I have found the key.
- Well, it's here.
- I repeat, I risk not being well received,
Because that guy is charming,
but he makes me nervous.
What's wrong, Michel? Are you
scared? Do you want me to go?
No, it's fine. I'm coming. I'll tell him.
Hey, open up! I have a cramp!
- Mom, Harry is going to suffocate!
- Quiet,
the baritone Poulac spent two
hours in his trunk before singing.
Wonderfully, and believe me, asking for
your money did not leave him breathless.
It's not that he means badly, but I
can't go in there, he's in disguise.
But what kind of story is that?
- He's right, he's in disguise.
- You see, he was annoyed. Let's go.
Michel! There will be a solution.
Mireille, there's a guy asking
about Felix. If you saw his face...
I am coming right away.
Come this way, asshole.
I have a feeling I was
wrong. Isn't it a costume ball?
- Of course not.
- Well, then it's really me.
I absolutely must see Felix.
- No, you have to go.
- Last night we were together,
it was not long before they shot us.
- Come in.
- At least you can see me.
- I will see what I can do.
- And take that off. It's ridiculous!
- The mustache too?
Well of course.
Thanks for your show. I
have nothing else to do.
This is Colonel Vincent.
Super Resistance Fighter.
- Should I call him Super or Resistance Fighter?
- Call me Super. Nothing else.
There is not a minute to waste.
We are sitting on a powder keg.
Do you know that we are gathering
all the networks? Are you ready to join?
- Yes, if you ask politely.
- Please!
But there's a little problem.
The general appreciates your
action, but has seen your photo
with your costume, and
I'm not going to lie to him...
He said "how crappy".
- Mr. Felix, excuse me...
- Get out of here!
I have to deliver an Englishman!
We can't hide him anymore!
- An Englishman?
- Let him go! - Who?
It can't be! I live with Spontz,
we can't hide him any longer!
Spontz? Do you live with Spontz?
Well, to tell the truth he lives with us.
- Be brief! - It is not interesting.
- It has no interest.
- Get that guy out, to hell with Spontz!
- Nothing like that.
We totally disagree. There we
have a major stumbling block.
Get that guy out, he's an asshole.
- Hey, what makes you say that?
- Do you know this man?
No, and I have no interest in meeting you.
You make judgments too hastily,
Mr. Super Resistance Fighter.
- Super Resistance Fighter!
- Great discretion!
Vincent, professional, thank you.
- Ah, Super Resistance Fighter, you are like a mouse!
- That will be you!
Cover me!
Call the Germans!
They are there!
- Disarm the French!
- This guy is an asshole!
You bust yourself stopping
terrorists, and he shoots me in the leg!
Do you have shit in your eyes, asshole?
I'll be right back. The brakes are on.
Come on, hurry!
- Michel, Michel!
- But what is he doing there?
Quick, over here. I have come to find you.
Do not touch me!
Quick boss, there's an open car!
- And Fremontel?
- He knows the place, he'll manage.
What's Super doing, is he stupid?
Sorry for taking your car
and at such a favorable time.
Do not trust appearances.
I was taking care of him.
Are they being chased?
Are you English? What are you doing here?
- Will you marry her?
- How?
Now that you have stained
her honor, I hope you repair it.
What's the matter, Super? Has he gone mad?
Answer me, you kind of pervert!
Filthy bastard! Nervous wreck!
Pig, you dirty traitor! Pervert!
He has vice written on his face!
No more fussiness, in the name of France!
In London we thought
his costume was grotesque.
But now I know that you
are the grotesque one.
In addition to being ineffective and dangerous.
I leave you alone, fix things as you can.
Colonel, don't leave! It's crazy!
- You can't go out dressed like that.
- Don't give advice on clothes!
Better, we don't need him.
- It's a connecting rod, boss!
- What a mess!
Well. Take this young woman home and bring
the Englishman to safety. I'm leaving.
At last I am in the service of Germany!
And we are in the service of
England as our uniforms show.
And what is this, the Cross of Lorraine?
You're making fools of yourselves!
I'm going to take the license
plates! There will be a report of apa!
Oh, my leg hurts!
You will find out!
I will not disturb?
Not at all. Today I
cannot catch Radio Paris.
I take a quiet time to hear a little span
id="divTranslatedText707" contenteditable="true"music. /span
music.
I know you think that the habit
does not make the monk, but...
it makes you younger, doesn't it?
Smile! I like his smile.
- It bothers me, General.
- You are very beautiful.
I beg you...
Bernadette, there is no need
to be ashamed to be cheerful.
- I don't know anything, I don't know.
- Come on, you have to laugh, have fun.
Look, a good joke for you: There
was a madman painting the ceiling,
Another madman arrives and says: "Hold on to
the brush and I'll take you up the ladder."
What happens? Have I hurt her?
No, general, it is not about you.
It was my father's favorite joke.
Sorry, I did not know.
I've spoiled the mood.
Listen to Strauss's waltz. Do
you want to dance to forgive me?
- I dance very badly.
- "Bitte!"
Between two waltzes, I would like to say
a few words to you, Herr General Spontz.
- Do you know "Mombambre"?
- "Bitte?"
- The castle "Momembre".
- Oh yes, Montbreuse. Excellent.
"Yes," Montbreuse. Absolute security.
- In the countryside.
- Yes, in the countryside.
He asked me to summon Von
Klount... and Von Rountzek as well...
He has asked me to summon all the generals.
- Yes, I won't.
- Is he coming personally?
Hitler has given him all the powers.
He has named him "Reich minister"
and also shows too much zeal.
He has gone into a rage because of you.
He says you are inept. And talks
about demoting him in the next session.
You don't realize, Herr
Haufmann, I do my best!
This Super Resistant is inaccessible!
You will tell him personally
tonight. He will surely appreciate it.
Reassure yourself. He will
not be the only one punished.
There are going to be
changes on the Eastern front.
Perhaps worse... No more fighting in Paris.
- Klougklicht! Does this make you laugh?
- "No, general!"
I'm done...
- If I may, General.
- That?
My brother-in-law works as a
chauffeur for Marshal Goering.
Klougklicht, I don't give a damn.
Gring was also going to have problems.
You know, because of that troop train.
Well, he received it in an extraordinary
way, with music, women and everything.
In the end they were
drunk and thick as thieves.
Not only did he avoid the fight
but he got two additional trains.
Klougklicht, you gave me an idea.
Find right away a list of the
best shows in Paris, let's go!
- "Ja, herr general!"
- Klougklicht... -"Ja!"
I need a hairdresser.
Bring up Madame's son.
- The one who works with the comb.
- Here I am, my general.
All right, at least it's fast.
- How should I cut it, General?
- Short, very short.
I want to be very clean.
Sorry, this is a horrible mistake.
A mistake... It is a great bullshit!
Yes, sir, there are French and French.
One kills oneself getting
reports and gets shot in the leg.
- Shit!
- Mr. Ramirez.
What do you tell me?
Here it is!
Quick, get the shovels and picks!
I have you!
It is done! It has rejuvenated
him a lot, he looks like his son.
- But I don't have children.
- It's a saying.
Today is going to drive
a lot of people crazy.
Avoid talking heads at this time. That?
An excellent Belgian magician: Mandragn.
- Reads the future in the foam of beer.
- Ah, very funny.
- Shall I leave the dye, General?
- Yes, leave it there.
Here on the dresser.
- It's impeccable, General!
- Instead of acting like a monosabio,
take care to find me the
best Bordeaux bottles.
General, the iron is on your
clothes, if you like I'll take it off.
Yes, thanks.
- Goodbye!
- Super! He's gone!
There has to be a trigger...
Don't come back, mum!
I'm as sorry as you are about
what happened to Colette, but
that won't change anything.
- Don't rub salt in the wound.
- Nothing proves they were arrested.
- But the car is gone. Please!
If the family is in danger,
our duty is to be with it.
But that is very easy. When it
suits you I am one of the family,
but usually I'm the last monkey.
- I believe you are Bernadette's boyfriend.
Yes, Bernadette... She has been
making me wait for two years,
he loved Colette.
- I beg your pardon, mamina.
- At last, we were worried.
- You gave us a hard time!
- Oh mum, you are here! I was so frightened!
Colette couldn't find anything
better than driving off without warning.
- But mum...
- I've told you a hundred times:
I don't want you driving without a license.
- Michel, there is a message for you.
From a certain Colonel Vincent. He waits
for you at the church on Montand Street.
He seemed to be very scared.
Colonel Vincent!
- Shut up! Are you crazy?
- It's me, Taupin!
I've ended up hiding
here. They all bothered me.
Ready to help France?
Have you crossed Paris looking like that?
That Super Resistant pig dumped me rudely.
I'll talk about him in London. You are
going to find out what a comb is worth.
It is criminal. They
could have arrested him.
I brought you a time bomb, it's for Spontz.
Latest discovery of the intelligence
service, reduced to the maximum.
The minute hand...
light. An hour late at the most.
- Understood.
- Tell me... what size do you wear?
- How?
- What size pants?
- Ah no, you are too big.
Courage, my friend, and good food.
I will speak of you to
de Gaulle personally.
- Thank you.
- And don't show yourself around looking like that.
What you need to hear!
Did you call us, General?
Ladies, what are you going to do tonight?
Frankly. I'm a soldier. I have
a small favor to ask of you.
I am sorry for you, General,
but it is a matter of honor.
I swore on my husband's grave
that I would not sing for the Germans.
Thank you very much, Mrs.
Bourdelle. I'll probably end up in Irkutsk
with frozen feet.
- I did not force you to wage war, General.
Whoever sows winds reaps storms.
That's the truth, General.
What a mess of a Latin country!
You do a favor and get spat in the face!
And this griffin that resists
me is going to find out!
- General?
- What's going on?
- Ah, it's you.
- General...
I have made a very painful decision.
But I can't tell you anything
before the war is over.
I appreciate you coming up to tell me that.
That does not detract from the affection between
you and me. Between enemies there may be affection.
I'm glad you understood me.
- What does it mean?
- Your burning neck drives me crazy...
the blood pounds in my temples.
What's going on!
Excuse me, General! "My God, he saw us!"
- What are you doing there, spying?
- I haven't seen anything! Open up!
I was passing by... Open
up! Excuse me, General!
I've been following Super
Resistant since this morning,
I discovered a passage with a train!
- What train, you filthy peeping Tom?
There is a train! And a secret passage
leading to the museum of Gothic art!
This revolves, I'll show you. It's true!
This turns! They are behind there! Open up!
- General, you dirtied your uniform!
- You'll pay for this, bitch!
Threats, asshole? I'm
going to calm you down!
General, it's too much.
It's going to drown him.
I'll dry him off!
- I found a beautiful hair dryer!
- I beg you, you're going to burn him!
You're wrong, Spontz, I'll tear it apart!
- Get out of here!
- You scoundrel!
I'm going to leave you, General.
Would you like me to find
some mineral to clean your suit?
That's enough! Outside!
I'm sorry, Bernadette, I think
I'm forced to do a little blackmail.
I'm afraid this impromptu discovery
is going to force your mother
to go sing at Mombreuse.
Departure in an hour!
- But what are they doing here?
- The Gestapo found a subway in the baths.
- You have to flee.
- You came at the right time. You're an ace!
What are those clothes?
Is it Shrove Tuesday?
- You're going to get us all arrested.
- We cannot walk away like thieves,
we owe Hermann an explanation.
That hideous German? Are you kidding!
He is a good man. Not
everything is black or white.
Let's go quickly! I have
to blow up the barracks.
Mrs. Bourdelle, aren't you
ready? The car is waiting.
Yes, we are coming, General.
Bernadette, now I'm sending for your cello.
Mr. Taupin, what is that costume?
- It's for classical music.
- Oh, I understand. Come on, Mrs. Bourdelle.
Ma'am, would you like to follow me?
- Bernadette!
- "You're welcome".
No thanks, I'm wearing it.
- Michel, is he there?
- Leave me alone. They will notice me!
He cannot explode the bomb,
there are many innocents.
Everything is planned, my
dear. At 10 the show is over
and they leave. Mamina asked Spontz.
Only the generals will stay in the room.
And at 10:15, fireworks,
signed Michel Taupin.
- I have an appointment with history.
- What if there is a delay?
We will all die. You
are very childish, Michel.
Of course, he is trying to
save his little friend Spontz.
Do you think I haven't seen
your affair with the general?
Michel, I have the solution. He's
going to put the bomb under the table.
Look, the little door down there, at the
end of the corridor leading to the toilets.
In a minute I will try to distract
them. You have 30 seconds
to slide under the tablecloth. Good luck.
- Thank you.
His insinuations are degrading.
It's all over between us, Michel.
I am sorry that I am suffering.
Very good! Very good music!
What fun.
How nice!
Very clever! We like it!
Ma'am, will you come to the podium, please?
Lovely, everything perfect.
- I want a coffee.
- "Ha, Herr General!"
Beautiful animal.
- General, do you have a moment to choose the pieces?
- Sure.
We plan to start with the Ave Maria
by Gounod. It is simple to center,
solemn, without being heavy.
- Yeah, but wouldn't there be a waltz
like the Blue Danube or Lili Marleen?
- Well, I can sing "Le pet it vin blanc".
- Ah, don't be offended, ma'am,
I wanted something simply animated.
Would you like a glass of champagne
"from before the war", to forgive me?
-No thanks.
Admirable. His voice is crystal
clear. He has broken glasses.
- The Gestapo is in the air.
- Mercy.
Spontz took your mother and Bernadette
to Mombreuse. They were waiting for you.
It seems worried. Is it the
tunnel that worries you?
Not at all, general. I think
of something else, sad things.
Come on, don't be ashamed of your feelings.
- One day, the war will end.
- Street.
Unfortunately, some
destinations do not cross.
Bernadette, you confuse
honor with puritanism.
It can be both modern and decent.
One little kiss, he has
never killed anyone.
- Hermann!
-Klougklicht! Why do you make it so familiar?
He is there!
Come on, to your
instruments! And play loud!
Reich minister von Apfelstrudel is here!
Sorry, general. I mean it's
there in the garden behind.
This flat view is depressing. No?
I've had a dreadful
journey. Especially my leg.
- Aftermath of his attack...
- Shut up, Spontz! That is the past.
- The traitors have paid.
- Excuse me!
- How is the Fhrer?
- Busted like me,
and he is not very friendly to you.
Come on, to work, Spontz.
Leave me! I can fix myself.
It has made amazing progress.
Intensive education, fierce
will and look at the result...
Don't you prefer the front
door? The ladder is smoother.
It doesn't matter, I like
exercise. What is this?
- Well, I mean... it's champagne.
- Made in Reims.
Whoops. They didn't have
a party for me, did they?
- No...
- You're not as stupid as Gring.
He tried to cajole me with
a grotesque party last week.
He still remembers my reprimands.
Only the friendship that he dispenses
our Fhrer has saved him.
Let your brother-in-law come!
What a tough ladder. What
a joke, and I climb it like a kid.
Spontz, Spontz!
This is a disaster.
You can't hear anything!
Am I speaking for the
deaf? Stop that music!
I can't take that infectious
cacophony anymore!
I'm going to end up distributing
cyanide bonbons to everyone
and so there will be less noise.
Bernadette, we're leaving. They
have never spoken to me like this.
What happened?
This is the first time
I've been interrupted.
Even his Fhrer in 33
stood in line to hear me.
It will not be a subordinate
like you who gives me lessons.
- Who is that fat woman?
- It's Madame Bourdelle,
the famous opera singer. La
Bourdelle as it is called here.
Reich Minister Ludwig von Apfelstrudel.
I like your frankness, ma'am.
It's been ten years since nobody
dares to be natural with me.
It's different from all
these crawling dwarves.
Let me invite you to my table.
Food threatens to be moved.
It's not possible. The pump is ready.
What, don't you eat? No appetite?
Depression does not solve problems.
You have to be optimistic.
Not so, Ms. Bidelle?
- Bourdelle. Elena Bourdelle, please.
- Excuse me. I'm going to call him Bu-Bu.
This way I will avoid regrettable mistakes.
I hate to mess up names. On the
other hand, I hate everything, Ms. Bu.
When he has come out of 28
attacks like me, he becomes a bit harsh.
You can't be bitter all your life,
Marshal. You have to be distracted.
Exactly what he told our
Fhrer the day before yesterday:
"Comrade, you will have to smile one day."
By dint of pouting you
will end up in a bunker
flamed like a frankfurter.
All the musicians are gone,
Michel. All arranged with the music.
- What's wrong, you don't like music, miss?
-Yes.
No, she is surprised.
Well, nice to have dinner
with German generals.
Especially with someone close to Hitler.
Have you known him for a long time?
Who, Adolf? He is my half brother.
At first he tried to kidnap me
as in "The Iron Mask", but as an old
man he has become more accommodating.
On the other hand, Ms. Bu, it
is I who wrote "Mein Kampf".
Wait for me here.
I am proud of my grandson.
Wait for me here. If
something happens, get out.
I'm going with you, I won't leave you.
Even as a quarterback, I have no right but
to the 25% supplement,
also of course, 10%...
and 20% to which every
wage earner is entitled...
and that idiot Von Riventrop, he
wanted to put the professional expenses
at 5,000 marks per year.
What do you think, Ms. Bu?
At this time I am no longer standing.
With the curfew we don't have
the habit of going to bed so late.
You don't like the company of the Germans?
Give me another hour to convince
you that we are civilized people.
Bravo Grandpa, flexible as a reed.
Ah well, come over, Mrs
Pourtelle. Do not be afraid.
Did you want to speak to me in private?
Yes... Sit down...
I hate being alone. It
gives me a certain longing.
Yes, okay, but just a minute,
because I think we have to go.
What is going to happen? We are lost.
You say "lost", Mr. Taupin?
- No, I mean, the partridge is delicious.
- Ah, partridge, yes.
You remind me of a little Bavarian
woman I knew very well. Frida.
Oh beautiful woman.
Now he's doing a sexy-comedic
number in Munich. It's not very delicate...
Ride a rubber banana...
and bounces all over the cabaret
scene. All accompanied by harps.
It is a bit vulgar but you have fun.
One is puffed up with bacon and
ham and drunk from beer mugs.
And it ends in a screaming
spree at the zip lines
or vomiting all over the place.
The evening is not wasted.
It must be charming. Those
evenings drive me crazy.
Well, it's over. "Fertig,
kaputt"... She is with another...
and I languish in the sad
autumn. Is it said like this?
When you are sad, you allow everything.
You know, a great conqueror
is a lonely man, always.
Look at your Napoleon who
wrote exciting letters to Josefina,
while Moscow burned. And I
sometimes feel like a foreigner
who is far from home and
wants to yell at a woman...
"I Haven't Changed" by Julio Iglesias.
Herr Reich minister, here are the
eggs if you want to eat them hot.
They are ostrich eggs,
fresh from this morning.
- I think you'll like them.
- Sure, but fast, we're in a hurry.
Yes quickly. 1,2,3,4,5...
The egg is the apple of the cock.
Excuse the question, Reich
minister, how do you get wet in them?
It is very clear: you take a
whole bar, spread it at will...
y se mine.
My slice has fallen
off. I'm going to get it.
He finally likes this.
With you, marshal, it has to be that way.
Come on, Mrs Bourdelle,
the evening went perfectly
until now. Don't spoil
it with your bad mood.
Stand back! I have an "a us we
is"! Come on guys, to your posts!
I'm not in a bad mood.
It's a dash of humor, that is.
Ah, humor... It's what I prefer...
along with the infantry and the heavy men.
Get up from there, Mr. Terrorist!
I am responsible. Excuse me, Mamina.
I have a special nose
for discovering terrorists.
It will be a lesson for some.
Let me pass! "Heil"!
I have discovered who is
Super Resistant. Look, it's him!
It's ridiculous. I am Michel
Taupin, a Latin teacher.
- None of that, it's him! Look!
- Who is this new attraction?
Adolfo Ramirez, French
Gestapo. Heil Hitler!
I have dismantled the entire
Super Resistant network.
His hiding place, the little train...
Are you going to decorate me?
Stop him! Let them shoot
him with the other French!
Don't make me stop, I'm a traitor!
I asked for it! I'm on your side!
I have given up almost
everyone! I'm barely French!
Reich minister, you cannot
convict without studying the report.
You have to make a judgment in order!
Agree. Because it's about you.
Stop Spontz! He will be
shot with the other French!
Well done! He burned my
neck with an iron. He is a traitor!
- Lie!
- There is only one traitor in this room!
- And it's you, Ramirez!
- Super Resistant!
They want to know my name,
see my face... I am the devil!
It's him! The one I said! Super Resistant!
Surprised, Apfel? Did you know
the judgment of God, wretch?
It is a man-to-man combat.
I am greatly amused. I
have been a weapons master.
They called me the d'Artagnan of Cologne.
Well, d'Artagnan, let's both go!
My leg!
- Coward, run away!
- Nothing of the sort!
Guards, seize him!
Too late, we have won!
Well done, Papy!
- My son!
- It's Guy-Hubert!
- Please don't shoot! I'm a hostage!
-Me too!
Adolfo Ramirez and von
Apfelstrudel were run over hours later...
by a German truck, as they tried
to free each other from their bonds,
writhing in the road. The driver stated:
"I thought it was an animal. It
scared me and I stepped on the gas."
The Bourdelle family returned to
the Resistance and ended the war
brilliantly with weapons in hand. In
August '44, next to General Leclerc,
Super Resistant and Michel Taupin
participated in the liberation of Paris.
I have to tell you that we have all
seen here on set and with great attention
this movie that describes one of the most
difficult and painful times in our history.
And if we have, it is because
of everyone around me.
They are the main actors of the drama that
we have just experienced on the screen.
And I'd like to introduce them to
you again before I give you the floor.
I will start with Mrs. Bernadette Bourdelle,
daughter of the famous singer Hlna Bourdelle.
Her brother, Guy-Hubert Bourdelle,
who we will know about immediately
whether or not he was Super Resistant.
Mr. Ramirez Jr., son of Adolfo Ramirez
and who has come especially from
Bolivia to participate in this debate.
General Spontz who resided
at the Bourdelles' in Paris...
and Michel Taupin, minister
of former combatants,
and who saw fit to accept
participation in this great broadcast.
It is a pleasure for me to
come simply, without stories,
with my dear comrades.
- Do you have any comments?
- I wanted to say...
- Wait, everyone their turn.
- First, Mr. Minister.
- I'm totally shocked.
Reality has been presented to
us in a hideously caricatured way,
not to mention grotesque. I pass
over the story of Hitler's half brother,
in very bad taste, to go
straight to my character.
Who is presented as a fickle
man on the edge of disability.
Let's be serious, even if it is only
out of respect for those who see us,
If I have been appointed minister of
the former combatants, it is not by chance.
As for the Bourdelle family, I had the great
privilege of rubbing shoulders with them.
And when one knows what the
work of this family has really meant
during the war and the
difficulty of living at this time,
one finds that this movie
is nothing but rubbish,
And I'm surprised,
Mr. Jerome, that TV has chosen...
this movie.
- Everything is false, from A to Z!
The characters are ridiculous. The
minister complains, and what should I say?
Anyway, what is that puppet that is
sometimes soft, other times provocative,
and at other times unclear? The
costume attributed to me is delightful...!
Mr. Ramirez, do you want to intervene?
Mr. Ramirez, one question:
do you speak French?
- Yes, why?
- If so, the debate will gain in clarity.
- Well, I'll speak in French.
- What is this masquerade?
I want to remind you that my
father had not joined the Gestapo,
but to infiltrate it from
within. He was a double agent.
Mr. Ramirez, if you were a double
agent, then I am a KGB agent.
Please, were you Super Resistant or not?
I have nothing to do with
that operetta superman.
I was a trainee hairdresser at
Madeleine, I had a lot of work,
and I only had to carry two or
three messages for the Resistance.
- We're not going to make a big deal out of it.
- No, Mr. Bourdelle is much more modest
and that honours him, but it is true that
he was a member of an active network,
of course with no mask, but he
was well known in the Resistance
under the name Esparadrapo.
- Sticking plaster?
That is ancient history. Young
people are no longer interested in it,
what they need now are muscular
and virile heroes, like Rocky.
"Esparadrapo"... why
not Roudoudou Raplapl?
When the painful hours
of France were lived,
from Montoir to Omaha Beach,
- Believe me...
- Please, Mr. Ramirez.
It seems you have to be a minister
to have the floor in this debate!
If that bothers you, then what
you have to do is become a minister!
- How vulgar!
- Please calm down. - "Bitte"...
I never participated in that SS
meeting at Montbreuse Castle.
And besides, I was part of
the Wehrmacht, I remember,
and around that time I was
doing a liver cure in Louchon.
General, you have listened
to the spectators' questions,
they would like to know whether or not you
married Bernadette Bourdelle after the war.
Personally I don't like this question.
I'd rather it be asked to my wife.
Mrs. Bourdelle, do you
want to answer this question?
What does this have to do with
the debate on the Resistance?
Sorry, it's private. It is private!
I'm sorry, but you've heard
it, many people want to know
whether you married General Spontz.
The general and I were
married in May '52, in Vienna.
And I must say that I do not understand
all this very well, because the film
confuses my story and that of
my sister Colette, who indeed
married Mr. McBarrett.
- The English aviator?
They currently live very happily in Sussex,
where they have a breeding
farm of 20 thousand pigs,
and if they are not here it
is because animals require,
Mr. Ramirez, very careful attention.
You have to scratch their skin
every day, and in this
trade there are no holidays.
In any case, there they are on the screen.
Harry the English aviator,
and Colette McBarrett.
There was talk a moment ago
of a wedding held in May 52...
Exactly, Mr. Ramirez.
It is because this marriage had
been consummated long before...
I remember how my father told
us laughing how he had surprised.
Spontz and Mrs. Bourdelle in the kitchen
in a somewhat compromising position.
You were not very dressed...
You disgust me, you dirty liar!
Make up something else!
I have no need to. Everything is made up.
Let's look at La Bourdelle, the fat woman...
the singer. In the film she is
presented with the features of a great
international singer, a diva,
who refuses to sing for the SS.
She worked in six nightclubs in Pigalle
only to end up at the One-Two-Two
at 6 with her nose hanging.
This is what we've come to! I'm leaving!
- Enough, gentlemen!
- My general...
I also claim that the minister
present here pocketed
two million gold francs that Andr
Legouen had given to the Resistance.
Watch out Ramirez, don't go too far!
Let's get out of this masquerade!
What a job you people do!
- It's a mistake for you to leave.
- The press is rotten!
- Give me the Audi keys!
- You have them.
- No, you have them, cretin!
- Mr. Jerome, I have been called into question,
I demand the right to reply!
- Stop it, Mr. Ramirez!
You've been looking down
on everyone for a long time!
I wonder what I'm doing here!
And watch out, because I'm
going to scream really loud!
Gentlemen, could you not continue
this debate calmly and with dignity?
And I haven't said everything!
I know it was Super Resistant,
who coldly strangled
Enrique with his bare hands
because he was sleeping
with his sister Colette!
Enough, enough! It is a disgrace!
There are no words to
describe what you are, Ramirez!
There is only one word: fag!
- No, Mr. Bourdelle, be respectful.
- Nothing else came to mind.
- Take back what you just said!
- Now you're going to find out, pig!
Gentlemen, please!
Take this, disgusting
man, from the Government!
This is the end, this is
how this broadcast ends.
