Victor
For the last 3 months, I have been studying chickens. I know how they eat.
Luteau
[banging]
Open this door!
Victor
I know how they walk. I know how they lay an egg. [as he and Felicie walk to the edge of the roof] There is nothing about a chicken that I do not know. [ripping his disguise, revealing his crudely built wings] Ta-da! I call them... Chicken Wings!
Victor
But they have wings! They must fly! [to a chicken] You fly, don't you? FLY! [throws the chicken in the air, the chicken falls to the ground] Uh-oh.
Luteau
[catches Victor and Felicie on the roof]
I'm going to...! Come here, you rascals!
Victor
[bravely]
Goodbye!
Luteau
[outraged]
WHAT?! [Victor picks up Felicie and runs down the roof, with Luteau close behind]
Victor
Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! [carries Felicie, jumps off the roof and manages to fly away with the help of his "chicken wings"]
Victor
[Luteau, meanwhile, lands on a lower part of the roof and falls right through] [joyously]
One day, everyone will travel like this! [Luteau rides his motorcycle through the gates of the orphanage, one of his wings suddenly breaks. Victor and Felicie fall and land in a cart full of hay. Felicie's music box falls out of her pocket and bounces out of the cart. The cart slowly starts to roll away with the children in tow]
[shocked]
My (mother's) music box! [Victor quickly jumps out of the cart and grabs the music box. Felicie reaches out her hand for Victor, but the cart is now moving too fast for him to keep up] Victor! [notices Luteau chasing them] He's behind you!
Luteau
I've got my eye on you! You're not going anywhere!
Victor
[shows Felicie into his new place of work]
So, here's my office, the home of big ideas and genius. [leads her to a desk with blueprints on it] For example, here we see the plans for Chicken Wings version 3. [He leans on the desk and slips, falling to the floor and sending his blueprints flying. He quickly gets back up and awkwardly continues the tour] At the moment, my boss and I are working on several... Uh... important... [giggles nervously and fiddles around with a nutcracker] Inventions. [loses his grip and the nutcracker hits a bookshelf, breaking it] He... uh... [doesn't look where he's going and accidentally steps into an empty bucket] He calls me his ideas man. [clears his throat]
Victor
Uh, not yet. But I... I have a chair. [sits down in his chair and spins around, finally getting the bucket off his foot]
Matty
[Felicie looks through a telescope, then giggles] [enters, holding a large stack of scrolls]
Hey, Victor.
Victor
[to Felicie]
He's the cleaner. [lowers his voice] He's two sandwiches short of a picnic.
Matty
[to Victor]
So the pencils all need sharpening and the boss wants us to polish his boots for tomorrow.
Victor
[puts pencils in a sharpener]
Well... Uh... He has the ideas. [absentmindedly puts a screw in the pencil sharpener] And I think they're great. But it's a start.
Hey, Victor. You were right for once. Dreams can come true.
Victor
[The pencil sharpener starts to go out of control because of the screw. Victor tries in vain to hold it back, the pencil sharpener breaks down, covering the corner in smoke]
Ha ha ha ha, huh...
Victor
[after Felicie fails to do a difficult dance move]
Are you doing dance or kung fu? [chuckles]
[rolls her eyes]
You are so funny. [stands up, then introduces Victor to Odette] This is Victor. We escaped from the orphanage together.
Victor
Hello. I am loving your apron. [kisses her hand]
Ugh. It seems that you were going out tonight.
Victor
Yep.
Bring her back late and you'll be 6 inches smaller.
Victor
[looks nervous, then regains confidence quickly]
Of course, of course, of course. It's a quiet, sober, quiet, sober thing.
[to Victor, about the Breton bar]
I love it here! Let's party! [starts to dance on the tables]
Victor
[shouting over the music]
Did you say you loved me or the bar?!
Bar patrons
[He chuckles and Felicie continues to dance around the bar]
Yeah! Wow! Look at her go!
Victor
[impressed]
Wow! [to a man at the bar] That's my girlfriend!
Man at bar
[chuckles]
You're a lucky guy!
Victor
[watching Felicie dance around the Breton bar]
Wow!
[Love-struck, he tosses her a rose. Felicie reaches up to catch it, but loses her balance and falls onto a table. Merante, who was seated nearby, stands up and removes his hat. Felicie gasps in fear] [sternly]
I hope that tomorrow you act with a little more dignity. [starts to walk out] Anyway, tonight was... [puts his hat back on and smiles] A good performance.
