The Gates of Paris (Porte des Lilas)

THE GATES OF PARIS

When there is no wine in my cask,

when there is no wine in my cask,

I'm not afraid to drink water, no.

There are the little flowers. There are the little flowers.

There are friends.

Goodbye, my heart, Goodbye, my heart,

I am famous in my neighborhood

I am famous in my neighborhood

I am famous in my neighborhood, for my defamed heart.

There are the little flowers. There are the little flowers.

There are friends.

Goodbye, my heart, Goodbye, my heart,

I come to City Hall,

I come to City Hall,

whenever I marry.

There are the little flowers. There are the little flowers.

There are friends.

Goodbye, my heart, Goodbye, my heart,

- It's beautiful. - But sad.

- That's life! - Don't start. Go to bed!

- If you talk to me like a dog... - What?

I won't come back!

- You already said that. - When?

- Yesterday. - You'll see.

- When will I see? - Tomorrow!

OK, then. Until tomorrow.

Take that, for tonight.

Learn to drink for free.

- Did you hear him? - They're pigs!

They're pigs, alright.

Except you...and I.

And me, absolutely not.

- The bread is dry. - Soak it.

- There's not much. - We'll split it.

When I'm rich, you will never eat dry bread.

You'll have whatever you want.

Whatever you want! What is the best thing you've eaten?

Foie gras.

- Foie gras? - Do you know what it is?

I don't remember.

If you had tried it, you'd agree.

Artist, you're a good friend.

Listen, when I'm rich...

- You'll serve foie gras. - All you want.

I'm no good!

Worthless! They all say it.

And they're right.

- Take my glass. - Never!

I won't!

I don't want any more.

- You hardly drank any. - You're thirstier than I am.

- We'll share it? - It's all yours.

Really?

- I'm a pig. - Like everyone.

More than anyone! I don't know why I'm on this earth!

Doesn't matter.

- I want to hang myself. - You've already said that.

- When? - Yesterday.

- Goodbye, Artist. - Goodbye, Juju.

- Tomorrow I hang myself. - Yeah. See you tomorrow.

Mama!

Mama?

"Mama, Mama!" She just left.

- She didn't wait for me? - If she waits for you, she doesn't work.

Mom! Juju wants to go with you!

I don't need that useless bum.

Did you hear that?

Poor mama! Working at your age!

It's incredible!

What's incredible is having a brother like you!

And a sister that finished all the coffee.

If you want some, go to the bar!

You see? You're forcing me to go.

Okay, I'm going.

Hey, Juju!

- Hey, Juju. - Hi, Maria.

- Everything ok? - No.

- Why? - It's habit.

- You could help. - Yes. I never think.

But you think about yourself.

That's not funny. Do you know of anyone that thinks of other people?

- Not many. - I know one.

- Who? - Someone who's not selfish: the Artist.

Yesterday I had nothing to drink and he gave me his glass.

I'll give him a reward.

He's a friend, the Artist.

- What's happening? - Police!

- It's dangerous. Get inside! - This isn't my shop!

It doesn't matter.

- Where are you going? - My house.

- Where? - There.

Do you like foie gras? Today it's free.

I'll return the bag.

Don't eat it all, I'll be back.

And they say I don't think of others!

- Where are you going? - To return the bag to Maria!

She's the girl from the bar. Alphonse! I have your daughter's bag!

Stop clowning around and get on with it.

- What about Maria? - Look at the police! What are they after?

- Someone's committed a robbery. - They say it's dangerous.

Perhaps he's hiding in here? Here, the potatoes!

They're checking all the houses!

- What houses? - All of them.

- They have no right. - They don't care.

- They're searching houses! - Who?

- The police! Looking for someone... - So what?

- They'll come! - So what?

Don't you understand? I didn't pay for the tins!

They're moving closer. Soon they'll be here.

- Let's hide the cans. - And if they find them?

- I'll say they're mine. - And if they ask where you got them?

- Maybe you're right... - We must throw them away.

- What if they find them? - They won't find them here.

- What about prints? - What prints?

- Fingers! - My God!

One...

Two...

Three...

And ten!

- And we are calm. - They can come now.

- How about this? - Do you think that...?

- If the shopkeeper said anything... - Look out, they're coming.

- What do we do? - Don't worry.

- They're here. - Act naturally.

- As if we weren't waiting for them. - Sit!

Look like you're busy.

Through his mouth, the most gluttonous in the world,

he slid almonds. Being a thief, what a great profession!

Answers a squirrel from a hole

Answers a squirrel from his hole

saying "I'm greedy and I have a fine nose,

just like an almond..."

- What's down here? - Nothing.

- What's it for? - It's the cellar.

He sees the nicest almond tree in the neighborhood,

He sees the nicest almond tree in the neighborhood,

And his greedy mouth defies the world!

He slid almonds. Being a thief, what a great profession!

You think that's funny?

Look in the corner!

He can't be here.

Okay. Come up.

It won't be so funny when we find them!

- Let's go get the foie gras. - Are you sure?

They won't be back, they already looked everywhere. They'll find it out there.

Come on!

- If they found them... - They would have eaten them.

I knew something bad would happen.

- Nine... - And ten.

- I got them all. - Come on.

We have not done badly, Artist.

You're right.

We'll eat until we burst!

Say anything and I'll kill you. Shut the door! You hear me?

- Don't move! - Put down the gun.

- Shut up or I'll shoot! - You're the one making all the noise.

- Enough. Is there another way out? - No.

If they come back...

- We haven't done anything to you. - I don't care!

Will you permit me? If they return, there's a cellar.

And when I'm inside you'll call them!

No, no!

Around here, guys!

- Is this a basement? - Yes. Very small.

Open it!

- The dog has brought us here! - We've already checked it!

- But the dog... - What does the dog know?

- There's a basement... - I've looked. Come on!

- Now that was close. - It wouldn't have hurt to say something...

- But we didn't. - No, we fell into it.

- Ms. Cabatier, your son! - My son is a bum!

Juju, are you working today?

- I can't. I'm busy. - I thought so.

Hi, Mom.

- Hi, Mom. - Don't touch anything!

Are the clothes for sale or not? I come as a customer.

Customers like you...

- You'll give me a good price? - I know your price.

- It's for a friend... - I know your friends.

This one you don't.

- Do not touch anything! - I'm not a thief. I'll pay you.

With what?

Now here's a surprise: With money!

- How much longer? - Wait until dark.

- Sure you're not just talking? - I haven't had a drink today.

When I think about being stuck with rednecks like you...

- You can't always choose. - If I'm wrong, too bad for me.

- I'm shattered. - How long have they been after you?

Since yesterday morning. Enough!

Go ask the police.

- I could have done that before. - Why haven't you?

- Because you're in my house. - So what?

It's a rule of the house not to turn anyone in.

- Juju, come have something! - I have no time!

- I'm buying! - Another day!

Juju, come join us!

Leave me alone!

Crazy, you left the curtain open!

Change of clothes.
