Asterix at the Olympic Games (Astérix aux Jeux olympiques)

The year is 50 BC,

Gaul is entirely occupied by the Romans,

Entirely? Not quite,

One small village of indomitable Gauls

still holds out against the invaders,

Under the watchful eye of the Roman camps

Totorum, Aquarium, Laudanum and Compendium,

all these Gauls enjoy a peaceful existence,

All? Not quite,

This morning, one of them has woken well before the others,

Fly safely, Telegraphix.

A Gaul may be indomitable

but can be conquered,

For a while now, Lovesix's heart

beats only for Irina, Princess of Greece,

ASTERIX AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES

Princess, look. Telegraphix is back.

What have you brought me now?

Today, Irina, I begin my journey

And your love will be my guide

At last your eyes my face will see

In three moons, my sweet, I shall be at your side

Three moons...

OLYMPIC GAMES SELECTION OF BEST ATHLETES

Hello, is this the entrance?

Get to the back. - Shrimp!

Cool it! - Sweep out the stadium!

STAFF ENTRANCE HIRING NOW

Sorry.

Never! I'll never marry him!

You'll marry Caesar's son Brutus after the games!

You owe it to Greece to ease the Roman occupation.

Father, you embody the grandeur of our civilization.

How can you obey a tyrant?

Caesar rules the world. We have to accept it!

I won't marry Brutus

because I love another.

Your mysterious Prince Charming with his schmaltzy drivel.

I'm in love with his words.

The words of a poet

engraved upon my heart.

Even Apollo couldn't make me forget them.

Maybe Brutus writes them.

Brutus is a brave, virtuous, upstanding fellow.

And an intrepid horseman too, I hear.

Honest!

Praetorians, halt!

We weren't expecting you, Brutus.

Tweety!

Tweety!

Gently, Tweety!

Gently!

It's nothing. A slippery leopard skin.

Silenceus!

Have the groom quartered.

And get this damn bird stuffed!

I desire your heart as Caesar desires the world

Armed with my love, I launch my attack

The pretty weasel, the charming deer,

The jay, the slow worm,

My friends of the woods

Dance along in my footsteps

To cry out as one with me...

Irina!

It's you?

It's him?

It's me!

Brutus!

You're here so early!

Traffic was light.

I was eager to meet my betrothed.

You didn't lie, Obnoxias.

She's magnificent.

I bear gifts.

Showtime!

Pretty imposing, huh?

It's me and you. And a big lion.

Picture it at home. I used my imagination.

And that's not all.

I know you like poetry and it just so happens...

I'm a big fan myself.

I've written a few lines

in praise of your beauty.

Helmet!

First, when there's nothing

But a slow glowing dream That your fear seems to hide

Deep inside your mind

All alone, I have cried

Silent tears full of pride

In a world made of steel, made of stone

What a feeling, being's believing...

Well, it's not...

Am I ridiculous? - Not at all!

I am. It's because

I wasn't totally into it. I'll try it again.

No way! - Who said that?

I did.

My name is Lovesix.

What's your name? - Lovesix.

I'm from the only village in Gaul resisting Caesar!

Are you now?

I love Princess Irina and...

I want to marry her.

How dare you defy Brutus?

Are you an emperor's son?

What mighty feats make you

worthy of the hand of a princess?

I'll win the Olympic Games! - Will you now?

So what do I do now? Tell me. I don't get it.

Throw myself at your feet?

Do a Zorba dance?

Very funny, little Gaul.

Quarter him!

No! - No?

I accept the challenge. - What challenge?

I'll marry the winner of the Games.

What is this tosh?

The King of Greece must marry his daughter

to a man who is as brave as the Greek people.

Here I am!

Just a sec.

Playing hard to get, huh?

I like it. I like it!

All right...

Basically, if those are my daughter's wishes,

those are the king's wishes.

Meaning? - Well... So be it!

I'll tell my dad.

Wait! He's just a tiny Gaul.

Clear off!

On your chariot!

Your rags.

Strength is dumb.

Why say that, Obelix?

It's dumb and it's mean.

Wolves eat lambs,

sharks eat little fishies,

spiders eat flies...
