Bécassine !

Uncle, come!

Help me!

You're a strong one.

Becassine, why is your hand clasped?

My tooth is in it. I don't want to lose it.

Goodnight, Pa. Goodnight, Ma.

Morning, Trumpet.

Becassine, you look sad as stone.

Are stones sad?

Yes.

Then so am I. The tooth fairy didn't come.

Yes, she did.

Your parents' snoring scared her.

Go pinch their noses so they stop scaring her.

Go on.

What's wrong? The tooth fairy didn't come?

Yes but she's mean. She left me a goat turd.

A goat turd? Let me see.

My goodness, how amazing!

This is wonderful.

What's wonderful?

This is the seed of a very rare tree.

- Very rare? - Yep!

A tree that's...

blue.

Later, you can tell it your secrets and it will console you.

Can it console the rabbit too?

The blue tree will only console you.

Take good care of it.

Think where you want to plant it. It's important.

What's your favorite spot?

D 17 GUINGOIG

Farewell, little seed turd.

"The marriage of the Prince and Princess,

"the splendor of which was... esse..

"essep...

"esseptional,

"was held in the King and Queen's castle."

I'm sorry...

I was dreaming of a duck.

I caught a big duck.

You hunt, Uncle?

But now I'm more in a camouflage phase

to sense and observe the prey.

But tomorrow I'll hunt.

I'll shoot up a storm, trust me.

"Beests and burds, tyme to run!

"Uncle Corentin is hunting tomoro"

I'm not even scared.

Marquise, help me!

"Beests..."

Becassine?

Becassine?

- Feeling better? - Yes.

I don't have any half-pint clothes!

Yes, I do.

There's always this.

It's pretty, picturesque.

- It's beautiful! - Yes.

It'll do the trick for now.

Step over there. Try it on.

You're stunning!

Your parents must be worried.

They're already out in the fields.

They're brave.

They want me to learn a trade.

You're the right age.

You're a big girl now.

If you do well, you can go to Paris.

Pretty girls like you run the show there.

I'd like to go to Paris, but to see Paris.

The Eiffel Tower, the department stores...

cars...

Wait.

For you.

What a pretty umbrella! With a duck head.

I found it in Paris. At the Samaritaine.

An enormous store.

Don't open it indoors! It brings bad luck.

If I open it outside, it'll get wet.

Get going.

It's simple, miss.

You sew these initials "RG",

idem on the other napkins.

Yes, ma'am.

RG - IDEM

D 17 PARIS 473

Pull harder than that!

Hello, Marie.

Move it, you ass!

Uncle, I know you're there.

I'm going to Paris.

You're leaving today?

Yes.

Tell me. Will you water my blue tree?

Yes.

The second I see the Eiffel tower, I climb it!

Goodbye, Becassine.

Move!

Run!

Well done!

Run!

Stop!

That's it.

Sure you want to leave?

You'll still tend to old lady Loingebeuil's calves?

I'm sick of calves, harvests, laundry, grape-picking....

Look at Riteuche's daughter. She found a job in a fancy area.

Paris is far. You can't afford the train.

I'll do odd jobs along the way.

Come here!

PARIS

Signs for Paris already?

It's not that far!

There it is!

Here I come, Paris!

Here I come!

What a beautiful car!

It was the Marquise.

Come on... it's the crank!

First I'll check the carburetor.

If you'd been more forceful...

I think it's the carburetor, sir.

You didn't check before?

I checked everything, Marquise.

But flukes...

Or the sparkplugs.

I knew this ride was a bad idea.

- It was your idea. - Mine?

- You want a slap? - No.

Too late.

That's the third time. Enough already!

Give me that child immediately!

Never touch it again.

Marquise, at that age, they're raised like calves.

Besides, a smack never hurt anyone.

Take me.

You're dismissed.

Leave the car now.

And my pay?

Come by tomorrow for your pay.

Get going.

Let go!

Criminal! Dirty wretch!

Stop, she scares me. She's evil.

Marie!

She's crazy.

Hey! Don't tell my dad.

He slap again me for losing the job.

All right.

Find this binkie, Cyprien.

In the distance did appear

hummingbird that grew near

She sat upon the branch

Oh little rascal, here you are...

Such silly words.

Well, you could sing along.

I can do birdsongs.

- So do it. - I will.

Watch me.

What a sweetie!

Too cute.

Little darling! Sugar plum!

It's a little girl.

Hello, little girl.

Does your heart ache?

- No. - Dried sausage.

I don't know which one is the binkie.

She is love,

like all loves reunited.

- Where are you going? - Paris.

The Guingois station is 8 miles behind.

Paris is 285 miles ahead.

I'm in no rush.

- What's your name? - Loulotte!

- Louise-Charlotte, but we say... - Loulotte.

You're the father?

Miss...

Adalbert, that's enough.

She's a poor thing we adopted,

the child of my former gardeners who...

Just awful.

It was just awful.

Why don't you come to the house?

We don't have a nurse to help with Loulotte tonight.

We can't pay her.

Step into the car, Miss...?

Becassine.

This is Mr. Proey-Minans,

my right-hand man, my...

Anyway.

Let's get going, Cyprien!

King of the crank!

What a slowpoke!

What's she doing?

Thank you, miss.

It's nothing. Like pumping water from a well.

This girl is good.

Learn from her, Cyprien.

Can you go faster?
