My Brother from Senegal (Mon frangin du Sénégal)

MY BROTHER FROM SENEGAL

Hello, hello, here "France, capital Hollywood"

the film magazine,

everyone join the big photo contest,

the most beautiful in the world.

Great prizes are attached to this contest.

For further information, read the...

magazine France, capital Hollywood.

Mr. Pinson, Mr. Pinson!

Mr. Pinson!

- Good morning. - Ah, you look good, Mr. Pinson.

Is it for Sainte-Angèle? Same thing again?

No, something better than usual.

It’s actually for a client, but go on, if you want it...

You know, I have taken fantastic photos with your Kodak,

for six months none have failed.

- I’ve already photographed the whole family. - Bravo.

I also have to pay you now that I’ve decided.

As businessmen we must be able to give each other credit...

That is true. Unfortunately not everyone understands that.

Here, Mr. Pinson, that is exactly 1000 francs, 1000 francs!

Well, thank you.

Good luck!

Don’t do this in the shop, customers don’t like it.

It happened by accident, it can happen, right?

It fell on you, Mr. Pinson, that’s still lucky, it...

could have happened to someone we don’t know.

And all of that because of her films.

With those habits, which I don’t understand for her age.

It’s since yesterday, since she saw the film "Extortion in..."

"Chicago" she thinks she is the wife of a gangster.

It changes with the program me, last week she was a pirate,

once she cut sausages with a sabre.

Here we go again!

I think it works better with a cowboy film, she catches...

the cows under a bucket, but she leaves me in peace.

What will it be today, Mr. Pinson, shell pasta, split peas?

- Your daughter’s hand. - The hand of...

My daughter’s hand?

That... doesn’t please you?

Well, Mr. Pinson, you know her, today it’s Humphrey Bogart,

yesterday it was Gary Cooper,

tomorrow it will be Errol Flynn.

She only falls for heroes, naturally, right?

- Naturally? - But nothing is lost yet.

Something can surely be done... but I don’t know what.

The main thing is not to get nervous and to think.

Well, what were we saying, shell pasta, split peas.

You are a rare man, Mr. Pinson, you are in a rare situation,

I cannot say that about anyone else,

well yes, it’s not that bad at all,

You have been coming here for 10 years and let yourself be filled with goods,

needed or not, and often with a smile as reward.

Well, tell me if you don’t want another.

I’ll give you mustard and a jar of pickles to make up for it.

No, no, the young lady only wants heroes,

as if you could find a hero on every street corner...

besides, the real ones are dead and have not returned.

Only one or two clever ones remain, are they among them?

And when you have grown up in a grocery shop...

you don’t get used to another brave business.

Take some more grated cinnamon, nice with apples.

Your business comes with mine, only the household...

must be done, and the grocery must keep running...

and soon children will come to play in the room.

Now that I think about it, yesterday I received dry biscuits,

and on Sunday we will go fishing together, like two good friends.

So take this home quickly and then come back.

Leave the rest to me.

Goodbye ladies.

Him with his Sunday complex, for him nothing is too beautiful for ladies,

Listen madam, so many toiletries, so much fur, so many...

jewels, he is upset and had to throw those fools out the window.

I’ll be right back.

Oh, Mr. Bridoux, ah, hello Miss Angèle.

I am stunned, you should not have done that!

It is very kind of you to think of my party, let me hug you.

Aren’t they beautiful?

Put that there. Okay, father.

Did she think of the mackerel tin?

- You of course forgot it. - Oh, don’t make a drama out of it.

I’ll do it. The day the priest comes to lunch, it’s a drama.

The priest loves mackerel.

If I don’t have any left, I don’t have any left.

- You don’t have much. - We still have full jars. Full jars?

- Glasses? - Square.

Glass jars with tuna, anchovies, sardines.

I’ll be right back.

Oh, my poor Mr. Pinson, that is far too kind, you shouldn’t have done that.

Well, now everyone is happy, right.

Mr. Pinson also thought of me, I kiss you too because you helped us.

I thank you all, I am truly spoiled.

Dad, help Mr. Pinson across, I have to work downstairs.

8 + 3 = 11 + 4 = 15... were those 2 or 3 boxes of shell pasta?

- Four. - Good afternoon gentlemen. - Hello!

one and two, ..that is 2000 francs and...

for the mackerel I give you tins of sardines.

They are a bit more expensive, but for you Mr. Pinson we make an exception.

I hope they show a film next week...

that is a little more... or a little less...

Hello, here is your poster. And thank you, eh.

You're welcome.

Mr. Pinson... we are waiting for you!

A new suit, soaking wet, A small accident.

Caught sardines?

Madam?

Let them above all, above all look alike, it is for the twins contest.

Yes, every week the most similar ones are published...

in "France, capital Hollywood".

Please! Excuse me, madam.

Careful, don't move, smile... thank you, it's done.

You have...

Tomorrow is certain... everything understood... goodbye, madam!!

Smile.

Smile.

No, but...

If they don't look alike...

- Mr. Pinson. - What a handsome brother you have.

- How handsome he is. - It won't surprise you...

- About what? - That you will see him today or tomorrow?

- It's in the newspaper. - Oh yes... Please.

- Good morning Mr. Bridoux. - Good morning Mr. Pinson.

- Have you heard the news yet? - What? Ah, about your brother? - Yes.

I am so... doesn't it surprise you?

Listen, to be surprised about my daughter...

I am more surprised that you are here...

since my daughter went to you twenty minutes ago.

When he told me about it I didn't believe it..

No, no, Séraphine, to the left, always to...

the left, you have surely never been to Africa.

Mr. Jules, oh...

- Miss Annette... - I am so happy...

- Well, I'm not... - Well, please.

It's very simple, I am not leaving you anymore.

Neither am I.

Tell me, tell me quickly, is he exploring the jungle?

- Yes. - Does he live with the savages?

- Yes. - Does he kill calves?

- Yes. - He is a hero!

- Yes. - Like in the movie?

- Yes. - It's amazing!

- Yes. - When is he coming?

When?

But..never.

You know... the last thing I heard about him...

was that he was a prisoner of headhunters.

He was once a prisoner of decent people...

and who could shoot very well...

in any case, with these headhunters...

Would... would you be very happy if he came?

He... would you like him?

- And me then? - Oh, Mr. Pinson.

Smile.

Smile! Maybe he will come anyway.

Excuse me good man, Mr. Pin son's studio please?

- Come on, you wouldn't know that... - César Pinson from Senegal, that's me.

As one sees you one would doubt it, and if you then...

ask for the studio, I would say... He's fooling me.

Very clever constable.

Not jealous, it's because of my mechanism, there on your right.

Thank you constable.

You can't make a mistake, it's indicated.

- Good day, Séraphine. - How do you know my name?

I had forgotten, I wanted to... damn, where is my brother?

He went to the station, to pick you up.

Then he missed me, never mind.

I am exhausted, my train got me...

What cold in this damn country.

- This way Mr. César. - I follow you, beauty.

Well... they told me about a Séraphine...

but I didn't know she was such a beautiful woman...

Mr. César indeed!

- He's upstairs! - It's impossible!

- César! - Jules.

- Damn brother! - Oh, how happy I am, you hear!

Me too!

Listen, listen, did you have a good trip?

Very good, and you?

I... it's fine.

And how was it there?

- Hot, hot, extremely hot! - My poor boy.

What are you doing, don't you want me anymore?

The past is forgotten, come into my arms!

You haven't changed, you haven't aged, you're still the same!

Good... good... good.

I leave you, take your time, make yourself at home.

- What does he like for breakfast? - Coffee with cream and 2 croissants.

No breakfast, he already ate, he doesn't want to be disturbed, he's resting.

- Hello, Mr. Pinson.. - Where do I know you from?

Ah..sorry, constable.

My brother has arrived!!

Hurry up Annette, I told you that in...

Senegal black women do not wear Camembert cheese.

Be quicker without changing clothes.

My brother has arrived!

If he had arrived 10 seconds later, it would have suited me.

- He can have lunch with us. - Agreed!!

I may come a little later, I still have work to do.

We will wait for you, Mr Pinson.

I am going to get him!!
