Vic+Flo Saw a Bear (Vic+Flo ont vu un ours)

Are you playing for money?

Yeah.

What about you?

Sometimes he plays, sometimes I play.

The thing is, you're not all that good.

You need to practise some more.

I don't know, maybe.

I think you do.

You can't ask people for money if you don't know how to play.

You could still give us money just to encourage us.

What are you doing here?

Hello.

My name is Victoria.

I saw you earlier, playing with your helicopter.

Emile Champagne is my uncle.

Oh yeah?

Yeah. Who are you?

Charlot.

I take care of him.

Why is he in a wheelchair?

He's half paralyzed.

And he can't speak anymore.

Since when?

For as long as I've known him.

Do you come here a lot?

Every day.

I feed him, I clean.

Sometimes another guy comes and helps him.

His name is Champagne too.

My brother, I know...

OK. Well...

Listen, Charlot...

I think I'm going to move in here for a while.

Is that all right with you?

If you're family, it's all right.

I'll just have to tell my father.

What does your father have to do with it?

I told you, I'm family.

Emile!

It's me, Victoria.

Your niece!

Ms. Champagne!

He can't speak, but he's not deaf.

So he can understand me, but he'll never answer me?

That's right.

What's that little blue box?

His insulin pump.

What's that?

It's a pump that controls his glycemia.

What's that?

His blood sugar level.

He gets insulin every four hours.

You have to watch what he eats and clean his pump

once or twice a week.

You do all that?

Yeah, but I'm used to it.

Jesus!

You've become quite a handful, eh, Emile?

You want me to show you what I do when I come here?

You'll have to come back another time for that, Charlot.

I'm tired.

I think I know enough for today.

Would you mind leaving?

Mr. Emile always sleeps in his chair.

You just press the little button on the side to lay him down.

I'll figure it out, big guy.

Come scratch at the screen door tomorrow.

You'll read me the instruction manual

and we'll continue our chat, OK?

Do you remember me, Uncle Emile?

Victoria, Mona's daughter.

I'm...

I'm going to stay here.

We'll have to put up with each other, OK?

Just plant a few things and make a garden.

It'd be nice.

We'll see.

Who's she?

Cynthia. We go boating together.

Boating?

Yeah, I have a boat.

So, what do we do about Uncle Emile?

Taking care of him must be a lot like taking care of a garden.

The kid next door comes and waits on him.

It'll be all right.

You can count on Charlot. He'll help you.

Do you need anything?

Just say so. Don't be stubborn.

I'll manage. Thanks, Yvon, you're very kind.

Go put your sailor hat on!

Take it.

She's not a bad woman, Uncle Emile,

but give me a shout if she bites you or poisons your food, OK?

I know you're never coming back, Yvon.

I'll leave it with you. My dad wanted to throw it out.

You just have to remember to charge the battery.

Bring me to the bank.

I'll try driving on the way back.

Stop!

What?

I saw something in the woods. A fox or something.

You've never seen one?

Never.

Ms. Champagne?

Were you waiting for me?

You could say that.

Just so you know,

I can't tell you when I'll be dropping in.

It's peaceful here. It's nice.

You want to do this outside or inside?

Inside would be better.

Is this gentleman Yvon Champagne?

No. That's Emile Champagne, my uncle.

But Yvon Champagne does live here?

Yes, yes. He's out for the day though.

You've been here for four days?

That's right.

How's it going?

Fine.

Can you elaborate on that?

Well, I haven't rebuilt my life in four days.

I'm doing fine.

We'll see a lot of each other at first, but...

we'll get there, OK?

I'll come by twice a week.

Next time, I'll have to see your brother, Yvon, OK?

What is this place? A sugar shack?

Yes, but it's not in operation.

The equipment is still here.

I'm not going to start it up again.

You could.

Is your uncle infirm?

Yes, Yvon wants to place him elsewhere,

but for now, looking after him keeps me busy.

Do you think you can handle it?

I'm 61 years old.

It's not about age, Ms. Champagne.

I'm going to look around, OK?

Do what you have to.

- Is this your room? - Yes.

You aren't worried you'll get bored out here?

Can I go upstairs?

Go ahead.

Do you use this room?

Yvon gave me his room downstairs.

He sleeps upstairs.

Each visit, before I leave, I'm going to make some notes.

Do I have the right to object?

Unfortunately, no.

Not to be overbearing.

I just want things to be clear between us.

There must have been some good parties here.

How old are you?

There are a lot of questions that you won't be allowed to ask me.

Sorry.

Hey, nice old jukebox!

Vintage.

Would you be interested in seeing a psychologist?

It's depressing having the old man right out there.

I cried so much while I was waiting for you.

But I'm here now.

We'll find something for my uncle Emile.

Like what?

Let me think about it.

Are you hungry? There's some roast beef left.

No, I'm all right.

You really want to live here?

Aren't you happy?

It's so calm.

And did you see? We have a garden!

Wow! A garden! Cool!

Where's your garden gnome?

You're such a smartass!

Stop!

That's enough!

Holy shit!

Hold on...

Don't do that again!

Come on...

Yeah, yeah. Sure...

Go!

Stop, stop! I don't have the strength.

Come on!

All right, I got it.

Oh no!

- Wait! - Come on!

- Wait a second! - Push!

What do you think I'm doing? Hang on, I'm going to...

- I'm tired. - Oh my God!

OK! I... Did you see?

No, wait a minute. Whoa! Hang on.

Just wait, I have to get in.

Are you driving now?

It's like death out here, Vic.

There's a town nearby.

It's heated. We have lights.

We can go out in the woods. There's no stress.

I love you.

I did this for us.

There's a bar, a store, a restaurant.
