Hunchbacks are bad luck! 394 00:44:57,203 --> 00:45:00,247 "He's an outsider from Crespin!” And so on. 395 00:45:00,539 --> 00:45:02,374 You know how she is. 396 00:45:03,542 --> 00:45:05,461 She made me swear to say nothing. 397 00:45:05,753 --> 00:45:07,463 - So you didn't? - No. 398 00:45:09,089 --> 00:45:11,509 Ugolin and Papet are real bastards. 399 00:45:11,717 --> 00:45:15,471 Yeah, in that whole business, we were all bastards. 400 00:48:27,287 --> 00:48:28,414 Come on! 401 00:52:01,209 --> 00:52:02,294 Come along. 402 00:53:15,117 --> 00:53:17,953 Papet! My spring stopped running! 403 00:53:18,161 --> 00:53:19,788 - What? - No water! 404 00:53:19,997 --> 00:53:23,792 - None at all? - No. I dug down deep. Not a drop! 405 00:53:24,001 --> 00:53:26,920 - The carnations are budding! - Fifteen thousand of them. 406 00:53:27,129 --> 00:53:30,132 - You still have the well. - The well will be empty in two days! 407 00:53:30,340 --> 00:53:34,803 Springs are capricious, especially his. Give it three months. 408 00:53:35,012 --> 00:53:37,139 Three months! Holy mother! 409 00:53:37,347 --> 00:53:40,517 Stop it, you fool! Get up! 410 00:53:41,059 --> 00:53:43,854 The water is probably back by now, 411 00:53:44,104 --> 00:53:49,067 and if not, with a few mules, we can hold out. 412 00:53:49,276 --> 00:53:51,319 - Let's go take a look. - It used to flow. 413 00:53:51,528 --> 00:53:54,197 When the hunchback came, it stopped. Then... 414 00:53:54,406 --> 00:53:58,410 Something's wrong with our fountain. It's just trickling. 415 00:53:58,618 --> 00:54:01,496 - Come and see! - That's not possible. 416 00:54:02,622 --> 00:54:05,876 - Here, too! Papet, we're ruined! - Calm down. 417 00:54:10,297 --> 00:54:11,548 Well? 418 00:54:13,050 --> 00:54:15,552 Could be a frog or a snake inside. 419 00:54:15,761 --> 00:54:17,471 We're stuck, like Ugolin. 420 00:54:17,679 --> 00:54:20,557 Impossible! It hasn't stopped running in 50 years. 421 00:54:21,641 --> 00:54:23,685 I'll go check out the tank. 422 00:54:50,837 --> 00:54:52,297 Nothing. 423 00:55:25,831 --> 00:55:27,415 - There. - I'm on my way. 424 00:55:27,624 --> 00:55:29,000 Don't worry. 425 00:56:27,517 --> 00:56:33,398 Monsieur Jean, have mercy. You're up in heaven, 426 00:56:34,983 --> 00:56:38,862 SO you can see that my feet are so swollen that I can't wear shoes, 427 00:56:40,113 --> 00:56:41,823 that my mule is half-dead. 428 00:56:42,157 --> 00:56:45,827 If this continues, my carnations will be ruined in eight days. 429 00:56:48,038 --> 00:56:49,206 Come on, 430 00:56:49,456 --> 00:56:52,834 in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, 431 00:56:53,043 --> 00:56:57,088 give us back your daughter's spring. Amen. 432 00:56:57,923 --> 00:57:01,551 Help us! Amen, damn it! 433 00:57:44,386 --> 00:57:47,931 Hello?

He must come right away! 436 00:57:55,146 --> 00:58:00,193 We have no bread. Our crops are ruined. It's a disaster! 437 00:58:01,403 --> 00:58:06,491 Then I'll expect him tomorrow at the town hall. Thank you. 438 00:58:07,659 --> 00:58:11,037 - The expert is coming tomorrow. - What expert? 439 00:58:11,246 --> 00:58:15,292 The one I keep asking for, the rural-engineering expert. 440 00:58:35,186 --> 00:58:37,147 The meeting will come to order. 441 00:58:37,772 --> 00:58:41,318 This council meeting concerns the water problem. 442 00:58:41,526 --> 00:58:45,405 - Problem? It's a disaster! - That's right. It's a disaster, 443 00:58:45,697 --> 00:58:50,535 but thanks to my own efforts and my telephone, 444 00:58:50,744 --> 00:58:56,624 I was able to get us a rural expert, and here is the rural expert. 445 00:59:00,879 --> 00:59:03,798 Gentlemen, I have studied your problem, 446 00:59:04,007 --> 00:59:07,969 and here's the report I'm submitting to my chief engineer. 447 00:59:11,848 --> 00:59:15,727 The Perdrix Spring which supplied your fountain 448 00:59:15,935 --> 00:59:19,606 was the main source for this whole region. 449 00:59:20,648 --> 00:59:24,486 It originated from a fissure between two layers of limestone. 450 00:59:24,694 --> 00:59:29,074 The source is not diaclastic. It is a vauclusian resurgence. 451 00:59:29,282 --> 00:59:31,034 Let's not confuse the two. 452 00:59:31,993 --> 00:59:36,748 Thus, the water bed between two impervious strata leveled out, 453 00:59:36,956 --> 00:59:39,918 and the water issued forth along the upper stratum, under pressure. 454 00:59:40,126 --> 00:59:43,671 This trapped pool supplied your basin by rising up, 455 00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:49,260 and the basin supplied your fountain through a series of pipes. 456 00:59:49,469 --> 00:59:51,221 Yes, it's serious! 457 00:59:52,097 --> 00:59:57,227 At the request of your mayor and the administration, 458 00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:00,688 we researched the cause of this terrible accident. 459 01:00:01,147 --> 01:00:04,067 First, where did your water originate? 460 01:00:04,901 --> 01:00:09,280 - Luckily we have this document. - Very interesting! 461 01:00:11,699 --> 01:00:14,494 It's a study by the chief engineer 462 01:00:14,702 --> 01:00:17,539 that spells out clearly and to the point 463 01:00:17,789 --> 01:00:20,750 some experiments made in this region five years ago. 464 01:00:21,709 --> 01:00:26,673 Unfortunately, your spring does not appear on this valuable map. 465 01:00:30,218 --> 01:00:32,595 There's no stream within the orography 466 01:00:32,804 --> 01:00:35,181 of the Huveaune River or its tributaries. 467 01:00:35,390 --> 01:00:37,600 Fine. Where does that leave us? 468 01:00:39,978 --> 01:00:43,231 Since the water doesn't originate locally, it comes from far away. 469 01:00:45,150 --> 01:00:47,986 - I want to speak. - Not now! 470 01:00:48,194 --> 01:00:52,115 I'll make it short. Just let him turn on the water! 471 01:00:52,323 --> 01:00:54,617 He can explain later! 472 01:00:58,371 --> 01:01:03,626 I don't fix fountains. The first theory is the drought. 473 01:01:05,211 --> 01:01:09,382 A small drop in the groundwater level may have caused your problem. 474 01:01:11,134 --> 01:01:13,344 The watercourse is determined 475 01:01:13,553 --> 01:01:15,805 by seams of dolomite in the limestone. 476 01:01:16,014 --> 01:01:18,892 It can cross the seams via a network of siphons. 477 01:01:19,142 --> 01:01:20,226 You know what that is? 478 01:01:20,435 --> 01:01:23,354 It's a rubber tube to draw wine! 479 01:01:23,563 --> 01:01:26,191 Exactly. At the first rain, 480 01:01:26,399 --> 01:01:28,276 the siphons are reactivated 481 01:01:28,485 --> 01:01:32,447 as soon as the underground lake rises to its normal level. 482 01:01:32,655 --> 01:01:33,823 An underground lake? 483 01:01:34,032 --> 01:01:37,827 Of course! To oppose progress is a sure sign of ignorance. 484 01:01:38,036 --> 01:01:41,039 If progress gets me my water back, I'm for it, 485 01:01:41,247 --> 01:01:44,209 and if my spring flows again, here's my 100 francs for progress! 486 01:01:44,417 --> 01:01:48,087 Here's 100 francs for progress! 487 01:01:48,630 --> 01:01:53,051 Wait. Listen to the rest of this nonsense. 488 01:01:54,719 --> 01:01:56,471 Now, the second theory. 489 01:01:56,679 --> 01:02:01,726 The underground stream dropped into a network of caves. 490 01:02:02,060 --> 01:02:04,020 Once they're filled, 491 01:02:04,229 --> 01:02:06,856 the water returns to its old level and the spring flows again. 492 01:02:07,065 --> 01:02:08,149 How soon? 493 01:02:08,358 --> 01:02:11,528 I can't tell you how long it might take. 494 01:02:12,237 --> 01:02:15,490 Maybe two days, maybe two years. 495 01:02:20,119 --> 01:02:23,706 - Maybe 100 years. - That can't be ruled out. 496 01:02:24,082 --> 01:02:25,333 Third theory... 497 01:02:25,542 --> 01:02:29,504 To hell with your theories! What can you do for us right now? 498 01:02:29,712 --> 01:02:31,756 The administration will provide 499 01:02:31,965 --> 01:02:34,050 a daily truck with 1,300 gallons of water 500 01:02:35,343 --> 01:02:37,929 to cover your immediate daily needs. 501 01:02:38,137 --> 01:02:40,890 How much water do I get for my carnations? 502 01:02:43,643 --> 01:02:47,814 If our water hasn't returned in a month, what then? 503 01:02:48,815 --> 01:02:51,401 We suggest you farm some land elsewhere. 504 01:02:52,277 --> 01:02:56,781 What can I say? Lots of villages have plenty of water. 505 01:02:56,990 --> 01:02:59,993 No, sir, our council can't accept that! 506 01:03:00,201 --> 01:03:04,747 Your council's power over natural phenomena is next to zero. 507 01:03:04,956 --> 01:03:08,293 - The third theory... - To hell with their theories! 508 01:03:08,626 --> 01:03:11,713 We've got some administration! 509 01:03:11,963 --> 01:03:14,299 And I say to hell with you! 510 01:03:17,635 --> 01:03:20,263 The water truck will be here in two days. 511 01:03:23,725 --> 01:03:27,604 Meanwhile, gentlemen, goodbye! 512 01:03:39,616 --> 01:03:42,452 Quiet, or else they'll send the police! 513 01:03:52,211 --> 01:03:55,256 Where is he? Where is he? 514 01:03:56,215 --> 01:04:01,054 Where's the president of the water syndicate? 515 01:04:04,515 --> 01:04:06,893 Who is the president of the water syndicate? 516 01:04:07,101 --> 01:04:08,853 It's not me. It's you! 517 01:04:09,062 --> 01:04:12,231 I am because I'm the Mayor, and that's because I have the phone! 518 01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:14,692 And what is this? 519 01:04:14,901 --> 01:04:16,778 - Your receipt. - Right. 520 01:04:16,986 --> 01:04:19,197 Right, 52 francs, plus the stamp. 521 01:04:19,572 --> 01:04:23,034 You took my money. Now where's my water? 522 01:04:23,242 --> 01:04:26,788 Before you came, the expert explained about the orography. 523 01:04:26,996 --> 01:04:28,831 You have to understand orography. 524 01:04:29,123 --> 01:04:31,668 I don't give a damn! 525 01:04:31,876 --> 01:04:34,128 - I paid, and I want my water! - Listen. 526 01:04:34,379 --> 01:04:37,215 They're sending a water truck every day. 527 01:04:37,507 --> 01:04:43,012 Bring your mule, and you'll get 40 gallons like the rest of us. 528 01:04:43,346 --> 01:04:45,848 First, I have no mule, only a donkey. 529 01:04:46,140 --> 01:04:50,478 Second, 40 gallons will do for a café, not for a field. 530 01:04:50,728 --> 01:04:54,649 Third, I paid for spring water, not truck water! 531 01:04:54,857 --> 01:04:56,776 I'm sure they"ll send spring water. 532 01:04:56,984 --> 01:05:00,321 Not from my spring!
