1
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:42,000
On September 3rd, 1973
at 6:28PM and 32 seconds,

2
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,000
a blue fly capable of flapping
70 beats a minute

3
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,400
landed on Saint Vincent Street,
Montmartre.

4
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,400
At that moment,
on a restaurant terrace nearby,

5
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:02,200
the wind magically made two glasses
dance unseen on a tablecloth.

6
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:08,200
Meanwhile, in a 5th-floor flat
on Avenue Trudaine, Paris 9,

7
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,000
returning from his best friend's funeral,
Eugéne Colére erased him

8
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,200
from his address book.

9
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,800
At the same moment,
a sperm with one X chromosome

10
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,800
belonging to Raphael Poulain

11
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,000
made a dash for an egg in his wife,
Amandine Poulain

12
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,000
born Amandine Fouet.

13
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,200
9 months later, a girl was born:

14
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,200
Amélie Poulain.

15
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,000
The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain

16
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,000
Amélie's father was a former
army doctor,

17
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,600
and was working at a spa in EnghienlesBains.

18
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,000
TIGHT LIPS
HARD HEART

19
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,000
Raphael Poulain dislikes

20
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,000
peeing next to somebody else.

21
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,400
He also dislikes

22
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,600
catching scornful glances
at his sandals.

23
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,600
and clingy wet swimming trunks.

24
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,000
Raphaël Poulain likes

25
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,400
peeling large strips of wallpaper,

26
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,360
Iining up and shining his shoes,

27
00:03:50,800  ...

1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:02,800
Your turn now. Collignon...

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:07,800
Collignon, big moron!
Well, good!

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,000
See? You can do it.
Come on, Collignon...

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Collignon, dead and gone!

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,800
Very good! Collignon...

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,800
Collignon, big moron,
down the john!

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,000
Collignon, big moron,
down the john!!

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,600
No, no!

9
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,800
Lucien!!
Collignon eats dirt!

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,800
Okay! That's enough for today.

11
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,800
That's enough for today.

12
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,400
Very good.

13
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:42,800
I found this under your mat.

14
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,000
Collignon, big moron...

15
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:56,400
Still no win!

16
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,600
Me neither.

17
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,800
May I?
There's a little...

18
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,600
You're gorgeous

19
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,400
when you blush.

20
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,000
Like a wild flower.

21
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,400
It's my dyspepsia.

22
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Morning, all!

23
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,400
Beautiful day!

24
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,800
Pack of Gitanes, please.

25
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,400
Bravo! Vive la France!
You scalded me!

26
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,400
Ten out of ten! Bullseye!

27
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,400
It was Amélie, she...

28
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,400
When they went up Mont Blanc...

29
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,400
the silicon in her face
froze up...

30
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,400
Mulled wine and spice cookies.

31
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,400
I was too hard on the girl
with the glass.

32
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:2 ...
