00:00:37 As far as I can remember,
00:00:39 I've hated Christmas.
00:00:47 What does it say, Christian?
00:00:50 Gimme my car!
00:00:51 Christmas 1960
00:00:55 It should work.
00:00:57 Stop picking your nose.
00:00:59 It's working!
00:01:02 There we go.
00:01:04 Mine's not moving.
00:01:07 Gervais!
00:01:11 Han?
00:02:16 How are you feeling?
00:02:20 He's so cute!
00:02:22 It's your little brother!
00:02:26 - Baby Jesus!
00:02:27 Here you go.
00:02:30 He's beautiful.
00:02:32 Let me see!
00:02:43 Christmas 1966
00:02:46 Not only would my birthday
00:02:49 but it had to start
00:03:14 Midnight mass is too long!
00:03:17 Go home and open your presents!
00:03:46 On the contrary, you're lucky
00:03:48 That doesn't happen
00:03:50 It's special.
00:03:52 Hence the birthmark
00:03:55 It's a sign of being gifted,
00:04:07 At least, after mass,
00:04:08 there was the Christmas Eve party
00:04:17 Hello, my beautiful Zac.
00:04:20 The only advantage to having
00:04:23 was getting a bigger present
00:04:36 He likes it, huh?
00:04:38 But I especially hated Christmas
00:04:44 Dammit.
00:04:46 It's what he wanted.
00:04:48 So? It's not up to him.
00:04:50 You want to turn him into a fairy?
00:04:53 - Stop it. He's only five!
00:04:56 - Oh, come on!
00:04:58 Now return it. Go on.
00:05:13 It would make you
00:05:17 Daddy doesn't want that.
00:05:28 Daddy isn't trying to upset you.
00:05:30 He loves you far too much.
00:05:32 Hence the hockey game.
00:05:35 So he can play with you.
00:05:37 Go to sleep.
00:05:39 Mommy will have a nice surprise
00:05:41 for you soon.
00:05:43 - For my birthday?
00:05:46 Go to sleep.
00:05:54 What's a fairy?
00:06:01 Nothing.
00:06:02 Hogwash.
00:06:04 Go to sleep.
00:06:08 Idiot.
00:06:14 I knew very well
00:06:17 I especially knew...
00:06:20 I didn't want to be one.
00:06:33 Want to play, Zac?
00:06:35 No.
00:06:47 Unlike my friends' fathers,
00:06:48 all of whom
00:06:51 mine was the best in the world.
00:06:54 He has Patsy Cline's,
00:06:56 and Aznavour's
00:06:58 He fired a machine gun
00:07:52 Our secret side trips
00:07:56 made me deliriously happy.
00:07:58 For a few precious moments,
00:08:01 Take me
00:08:03 To the ends of the earth
00:08:05 Take me
00:08:07 To Wonderland
00:08:09 It seems to me
00:08:11 That misery
00:08:13 Would be borne more easily
00:08:25 Hi!
00:08:27 Hello.
00:08:28 - You didn't bring any back?
00:08:30 Fries, you moron.
00:08:32 You can smell it a mile away.
00:08:33 We didn't have any fries.
00:08:37 Did we?
00:08:42 My three brothers were morons.
00:08:44 Starting with Christian,
00:08:46 the egghead,
00:08:47 who read constantly -
00:08:49 anything, anytime, anywhere;
00:08:53 Antoine, the sports nut,
00:08:59 - What're you looking at?
00:09:02 my sworn enemy.
00:09:04 Get lost, you pisser.
00:09:05 Dad, Raymond called me
00:09:09 Not a pussy, a pisser.
00:09:12 Kitchen.
00:09:18 I could understand him
00:09:19 being proud of Christian,
00:09:21 But Raymond?
00:09:31 Aren't you going to introduce us?
00:09:33 My dad.
00:09:37 - You're going out, Raymond?
00:09:40 But he asked
00:09:46 Hi, pretty baby.
00:09:48 After nine months of prayer...
00:09:52 and superhuman feats...
00:09:56 the good Lord
00:09:58 Another boy?
00:09:59 What kind of lead you got
00:10:02 What can I say?
00:10:05 - A surplus of hormones!
00:10:06 He has to change positions
00:10:08 once in a while.
00:10:10 Yeah, well, I've tried that.
00:10:12 What can I say? Five boys -
00:10:22 Come on, Zac.
00:10:41 You like my surprise?
00:11:16 Christmas 1967
00:11:39 Take me
00:11:42 To the ends of the earth
00:11:44 Take me
00:11:45 To Wonderland
00:11:47 It seems to me that misery
00:11:51 Would be borne more easily
00:11:53 Drop by sometime.
00:12:05 See? Look. Again.
00:12:07 Zac has a gift.
00:12:09 His colic stops
00:12:13 I'll go see Mrs. What's-her-name,
00:12:16 She, too, has a gift.
00:12:18 She can staunch bleeding,
00:12:21 She'll tell us if he's gifted.
00:12:23 No. You've seen
00:12:26 A regular little Buddy Rich.
00:12:28 Music runs in his blood,
00:12:32 He gets that from his old man.
00:13:22 Hi, pretty baby.
00:13:25 Mommy's little darling.
00:13:34 I can still remember the snow
00:13:39 I had just turned seven
00:13:42 declared war to my father.
00:13:56 Are you crazy,
00:13:57 dammit?!
00:14:00 Roll that window back up,
00:14:02 Do we have to tie you up?
00:14:04 Here, buckle up!
00:14:09 Christ.
00:14:15 Use your head, you nitwit.
00:14:17 Stop slurping, you pig!
00:14:24 Eleven bucks!
00:14:25 An imported collector's record.
00:14:29 You'll each reimburse me
00:14:32 doesn't come forward.
00:14:34 I'll teach you to take
00:14:37 dammit!
00:15:01 I didn't do it.
00:15:11 It was an accident.
00:15:15 Scoot, you three.
00:15:25 You'll not only pay for the record,
00:15:28 I'll teach you, you'll see.
00:15:29 Go to your room!
00:15:36 He said it was an accident.
00:15:46 What in heaven's name
00:15:53 Zac. He's changed.
00:15:55 He's a crybaby, he dresses
00:15:58 Get over it.
00:16:00 He's a child, for God's sake.
00:16:03 "What did I do to him"!
00:16:08 - The others weren't like that.
00:16:12 Zac is more gentle, that's all.
00:16:16 He's not gentler, he's softer.
00:16:22 God, please don't let me be soft.
00:16:26 And return my dad
00:16:28 Shut up.
00:16:40 Use your head, you nitwit!
00:16:48 I did it on purpose.
00:16:50 I'll tell Dad, you pisser.
00:17:24 When will I stop wetting the bed?
00:17:29 Never mind - no harm done.
00:17:31 Hmm?
00:17:34 It'll stop eventually.
00:17:36 Keep praying. You'll see,
00:17:40 Especially you.
00:17:42 You were born on the same day.
00:17:45 Sweet dreams.
00:18:03 Big chimneys, huh?
00:18:05 Where are we going?
00:18:07 You'll see.
00:18:09 Careful.
00:18:23 Mrs. What's-her-name,
00:18:26 had realized my mother's dream:
00:18:29 She had walked
00:18:37 Try to trust your feelings.
00:18:40 You can feel things others can't.
00:18:45 You mustn't fear it.
00:18:49 He's been blessed
00:18:52 The good Lord chose him
00:18:54 knowing he was strong enough
00:18:58 But give him a chance
00:19:02 So he better understands.
00:19:03 He's a good-Iooking boy.
00:19:06 He'll go far.
00:19:11 Christ... mas, I'm bushed!
00:19:15 I've got news for you.
00:19:17 Your son has a gift.
00:19:20 A family's seventh child
00:19:23 With my three miscarriages,
00:19:27 Who says your miscarriages
00:19:32 They must've been.
00:19:34 We knew he could stop colic,
00:19:37 Gifted people
00:19:39 if they're of the opposite sex
00:19:42 Mrs. What's-her-name
00:19:46 Oh, Jesus.
00:19:47 How much Tupperware
00:19:50 None.
00:19:53 I bought some.
00:19:57 This is no joke.
00:19:58 He's truly gifted!
00:20:01 Can your gift cure my headache?
00:20:15 There.
00:20:20 What's this?
00:20:22 Look.
00:20:26 It's not my birthday,
00:20:35 Your record's unfindable.
00:20:38 It's the same thing!
00:20:42 I know.
00:20:46 The sound's not the same.
00:20:48 An imported collector's record
00:20:50 It's the thought that counts.
00:20:57 Raymond, Antoine!
00:21:00 Christian! Supper's ready.
00:21:03 Come on, boys. Let's eat.
00:21:09 Gifted...
00:21:11 What do you think about that?
00:21:15 What did Mrs. What's-her-name
00:21:18 I'm not allowed to say.
00:21:20 But she told Mom that if
00:21:24 I had to use it.
00:21:25 That I could help a lot of people,
00:21:33 Tell him to think of him.
00:21:42 Think of Uncle Lucien.
00:21:45 They're not going to start calling
00:21:50 Turn that music down.
00:21:54 All I had to do
00:21:56 was silently recite the secret
00:21:59 by Mrs. What's-her-name,
00:22:03 but of commanding God to heal.
00:22:08 Remember, you can't use
00:22:13 Or to harm others.
00:22:15 What a shame.
00:22:19 What's he saying?
00:22:21 He's not allowed to say.
00:22:28 From now on, it'll cost a dime
00:22:32 You'll be rich.
00:22:34 You must know
00:22:37 you've been reading the damn label
00:22:45 Another pest
00:22:48 Okay, I'll tell him.
00:22:55 Uncle Lucien's bleeding
00:23:10 Yes?
00:23:12 Well, I'll be damned.
00:23:14 Great. He'll be thrilled.
00:23:16 Yes. Thank you.
00:23:26 What is it?
00:23:27 Your lucky brother
00:23:29 is going to summer camp.
00:23:33 I wasn't allowed to go at his age!
00:23:35 You got yours.
00:23:37 We've never sent our children
00:23:42 He'll sleep there?
00:23:43 Of course. He'll make friends,
00:23:47 It'll be a good experience
00:23:50 - He'll always remember it.
00:23:54 Oh, come on.
00:23:56 I don't wanna go.
00:24:05 I don't wanna go!!!
00:24:30 God, please don't let it happen.
00:24:42 Go to sleep.
00:25:54 God, please,
00:25:56 don't let it show.
00:25:58 I'll never miss mass again.
00:28:51 Midnight mass
00:28:54 now that I'd become an atheist.
00:28:56 I'd kept my promise, though.
00:28:59 I'd never missed mass...
00:29:02 Once a year.
00:29:04 It made her happy.
00:29:06 It kept his mouth shut.
00:30:35 You dragging your trash around,
00:30:38 It's your present.
00:30:40 Well, if it isn't Zac!
00:30:42 What, no girlfriend yet?
00:30:52 Christmas 1975
00:30:57 Nice paper.
00:30:58 Every year, I told them:
00:31:00 No Christmas wrapping paper
00:31:03 That's not what matters.
00:31:09 After the drum set, accordion,
00:31:12 a banjo.
00:31:13 You said to surprise you.
00:31:17 It's so hard to know
00:31:21 You try to please them...
00:31:54 Some fantasies
00:32:00 Merry Christmas!
00:32:02 You know what time it is,
00:32:04 You're late.
00:32:07 I was starting to worry.
00:32:09 - Hi. I'm Doris.
00:32:10 - Merry Christmas.
00:32:12 - How are you?
00:32:14 - Merry Christmas.
00:32:16 I'm Raymond's mother.
00:32:22 My family always
00:32:29 Did you at least make a wish?
00:32:31 It won't come true,
00:32:37 My brothers
00:32:39 Dad, Zac gave him the finger!
00:32:41 - Except my darling Yvan.
00:32:44 And how polite
00:32:48 Turn that music down.
00:33:05 Every Christmas,
00:33:07 the bastard barely stayed an hour.
00:33:09 Just long enough
00:33:11 and to piss me off.
00:33:27 Here, buy whatever you want.
00:33:30 Happy birthday.
00:33:32 Wait.
00:33:57 I loved daydreaming
00:34:00 Picturing myself wealthy,
00:34:01 so that, one day,
00:34:06 Merry Christmas!
00:34:11 It's beautiful. Thank you.
00:34:23 Oh, what a lovely dress.
00:35:20 My cousin Brigitte
00:35:23 to devote herself
00:35:27 At the age of 15.
00:35:50 I can dance too, you know!
00:35:55 But it's not my specialty.
00:35:57 Back by popular request...
00:36:00 No getting around it.
00:36:16 It's your birthday!
00:36:19 - You've really changed.
00:36:23 This is my boyfriend, Paul.
00:36:25 My cousin, Zac.
00:36:29 He has his driver's license!
00:36:33 I'm stealing one.
00:36:49 - You don't smoke?
00:36:51 Good thing. If it was up to him,
00:36:55 We go to the movies,
00:36:57 we go skating,
00:36:59 You skate? Roller-skate?
00:37:05 The guys' turn, full blast,
00:37:10 you let yourself go...
00:37:13 and feel like everything around you
00:37:17 like in a movie.
00:37:22 A stoner movie, yeah.
00:37:26 Try it.
00:37:28 Give me a shotgun.
00:37:30 No way.
00:37:31 Are you nuts?
00:37:32 I burned my tongue last time.
00:37:37 I thought of you
00:37:41 He has a gift
00:37:43 - What?
00:37:46 It's true! Tell him!
00:37:49 My mother got that
00:37:52 You stop your girlfriend's
00:37:57 Idiot.
00:37:59 That's it, make a fool of me.
00:38:03 I don't believe in that anymore.
00:38:07 That doesn't mean
00:38:10 You blessed fool!
00:38:19 You want a shotgun?
00:38:36 Boy, have you changed!
00:39:05 Well, well...
00:39:08 - Hi, Mr. Beaulieu.
00:39:11 I'll finish up later.
00:39:14 No problem.
00:39:25 - Is she really on the pill?
00:39:28 I'm not the one
00:39:30 That's the last time
00:39:32 Why are the prettiest girls
00:39:37 You've never seen her.
00:39:39 I've seen her picture.
00:39:44 Don't be jealous.
00:39:46 You're dumb too.
00:39:53 I see her once a year. How am
00:39:58 Anyway, she's got a boyfriend.
00:40:01 Older. As dumb as she is.
00:40:10 Not as dumb as you?
00:40:14 Don't.
00:40:21 It'll ruin our friendship.
00:40:25 That's not what you said
00:40:29 Stop it.
00:40:35 See what happens?
00:40:38 Absolutely nothing!
00:41:01 Don't tell me he groped her.
00:43:06 You done imitating
00:43:09 Huh?! You're making us
00:43:29 Get outta here!
00:43:35 It's my room too!
00:43:48 C'mon, Toto,
00:43:52 Got a problem?
00:43:56 No.
00:44:08 Having a crazy brother
00:44:12 - Always ready to help...
00:44:15 ...for the modest sum of $2.
00:44:51 We were here first.
00:44:53 Shut up, faggot.
00:44:58 What did you call him?
00:45:03 Apologize.
00:45:07 Apologize
00:45:22 Apologize, I said!!!
00:45:28 It's okay, Dad.
00:45:36 Go on!!
00:45:42 Sorry.
00:45:54 What's for dinner?
00:45:58 What happened to you?
00:46:00 Just a hockey fight.
00:46:02 - Didn't you have practice today?
00:46:05 You fought with a teammate?
00:46:07 It was just a scuffle.
00:46:10 - Who with?
00:46:14 You got beaten up
00:46:16 What, you four-eyed fag?
00:46:20 What's with you always
00:46:24 You'd swear we're nothing
00:46:48 Please...
00:46:52 anything but that.
00:47:06 Sorry about last night.
00:47:10 You know I don't like you talking
00:47:14 Yeah...
00:47:21 Okay, see you at work.
00:47:23 Careful, now.
00:48:16 Please let me bump into them.
00:48:32 What're you doing here?
00:48:36 - Just in the neighbourhood.
00:48:40 What'd you do to your hair?
00:48:41 It's cool.
00:48:43 Thanks.
00:48:45 You alone?
00:48:48 my new dance partner.
00:48:54 He's Italian.
00:48:58 Thank you.
00:49:01 This is my cousin, Zac.
00:49:13 Okay, well...
00:49:15 I'll be off.
00:49:58 Change... Change...
00:50:00 I would be cured of my asthma...
00:50:04 if I only managed to get through.
00:50:20 For the second time of my life...
00:50:27 I was declared clinically dead...
00:50:32 for three seconds.
00:51:13 Thank God you were dedicated
00:51:20 I can't believe it.
00:51:21 It's a miracle.
00:51:25 You know you made your father cry?
00:51:30 Don't ever scare us
00:51:39 Feel like talking?
00:51:45 I'll come back later.
00:51:49 While my mother performed
00:51:52 her Baby Jesus
00:53:26 You asshole!
00:53:34 What're you doing?!
00:53:42 Fucking liar.
00:54:19 The hottest was a black chick.
00:54:21 It was like
00:54:24 Mind you, they smoked a couple
00:54:28 She sucked him like a Hoover!
00:54:30 He held her head,
00:54:32 The harder she sucked,
00:54:35 The more he screamed,
00:54:50 Ever had a blow job?
00:54:58 What do you want?
00:55:24 I was wondering
00:55:28 Going somewhere?
00:55:33 Boy, is this gonna cost me!
00:55:36 I didn't ask for nothing.
00:55:41 Your neck still sore?
00:55:47 We're out of HP Sauce.
00:55:49 You get a 2-for-1 special today.
00:55:52 You'll learn to drive properly
00:55:54 and how to make your father's
00:55:57 Let's go,
00:56:01 Go ahead. Turn the key,
00:56:06 Good. Slowly, now.
00:56:08 - HP Sauce?
00:56:10 Watch where you're going
00:56:12 Lesson number one:
00:56:17 Go ahead.
00:56:19 Slow down!
00:56:36 What are you doing?
00:56:37 The school principal just called.
00:56:40 Seems your son's been spreading
00:56:43 I won't stand for smut around here!
00:56:45 Much less drugs!
00:56:47 What?
00:56:50 If I have to call the police
00:56:53 I'll do it this time!
00:56:55 What's all this about?
00:57:00 Huh?!
00:57:02 What's this?
00:57:03 His little brothers live here!
00:57:36 Stay away from me, I said!
00:57:42 I didn't rat him out.
00:58:14 He's already gone.
00:58:17 Could be the wrong time,
00:58:20 - I want it!
00:58:23 Especially not you.
00:58:59 Does this mean
00:59:04 I dunno.
00:59:07 What do you think?
00:59:24 What's he doing here?
00:59:30 Toto the Weirdo.
00:59:31 Forget him.
00:59:39 Peeping Tom.
00:59:42 What're you looking at?!
00:59:48 Fucker.
01:00:14 She's so excited.
01:00:17 She went on and on about Brigitte.
01:00:22 Seems she's putting together
01:00:25 this Christmas Eve.
01:00:26 - With the Italian?
01:00:29 The mambo dancer?
01:00:31 He missed her big knockers.
01:00:33 Who's the pig
01:00:40 Think of your little cousin Daniel;
01:00:45 Too bad!
01:00:53 Rutting teenager
01:00:56 Shut up!
01:00:59 What teenager?
01:01:18 You didn't come
01:01:28 How are you coping
01:01:46 Beautiful story.
01:01:49 A man dreamed he was walking
01:01:53 while watching scenes of his life
01:01:57 Upon turning around,
01:01:59 he noticed that
01:02:02 there were two sets
01:02:05 his and those of Christ.
01:02:09 Except during the worst times
01:02:12 when there was only one set
01:02:17 The man said to Jesus,
01:02:19 "You promised
01:02:22 Why did you forsake me
01:02:27 Jesus replied...
01:02:31 "There was only one set
01:02:35 during the worst times
01:02:39 because I carried you."
01:02:58 I want to be like everyone else.
01:03:04 Thank God, you never will.
00:00:35 You have to learn
00:00:41 I'm not going to the Christmas
00:00:49 The guy was twice his size.
00:00:52 The little bastard's got nerve.
00:00:55 He gets that from his old man.
00:00:59 He's been doing well lately, huh?
00:01:01 You call that doing well?
00:01:03 A little fight's no big deal.
00:01:10 We should get him something special
00:01:17 He just needed a girlfriend.
00:01:20 Michelle's a nice girl.
00:01:23 He said she invited him over
00:01:29 He'll be 16.
00:01:31 We can start
00:01:34 You didn't agree?
00:01:38 I said we'd discuss it.
00:01:41 She can join us, if she wants
00:01:44 She can't take him away from us
00:01:50 He can do whatever he wants
00:01:53 In the meantime, we celebrate
00:02:03 What about a new stereo
00:02:09 I can't believe
00:02:13 He gets that from me, too.
00:03:18 - I didn't do anything.
00:03:22 What you did was wrong!
00:03:25 I didn't do anything.
00:03:28 - A liar, too!
00:03:30 See what that pram business
00:03:34 He's never to set foot here again!
00:03:37 If you can't choose the right
00:03:40 Fucking little faggot.
00:03:42 And you, you sap,
00:03:44 - Let him speak!
00:03:47 I know what I saw!
00:03:49 What you did was wrong.
00:03:53 We went in to warm up, that's all.
00:04:00 Did we ever beat you?
00:04:06 Do we have to start,
00:04:12 I'm sorry.
00:04:18 I don't understand.
00:04:20 After everything
00:04:24 This shouldn't be happening to us.
00:04:26 It can happen to anyone.
00:04:32 Father Carbonneau says
00:04:36 Father Carbonneau?
00:04:38 I had to talk to someone.
00:04:41 - What am I, chopped liver?
00:04:48 - The whole neighbourhood will know.
00:04:52 No one else is to know about this.
00:04:54 This is strictly a family matter.
00:05:06 What did the priest
00:05:08 It's a sin, yes, but not the end
00:05:12 The sin is in the act,
00:05:15 Look who's talking.
00:05:17 Him and his cassock!
00:05:21 Don't start.
00:05:23 He says he knows a priest
00:05:26 Forget it.
00:05:29 Sometimes I wonder
00:05:32 who hangs out with a bunch of guys
00:05:34 - It's fishy.
00:05:37 Why are there
00:05:42 They're starting
00:05:47 Anyway, we'll take care
00:05:51 It's all in his head.
00:05:55 Abnormal people get treated.
00:06:00 People aren't born that way,
00:06:03 It's up to us to make sure
00:06:06 Nature doesn't make mistakes.
00:06:08 It's one or the other -
00:06:12 I'm willing to pay for a shrink
00:06:17 Our boy is a boy.
00:06:19 No way I sired a fairy.
00:06:21 We'll wipe any such notions
00:06:28 You have to be sick
00:06:30 to spend your life sticking
00:06:37 You've got a short memory.
00:06:45 That was different.
00:06:48 And we only tried it once.
00:06:50 Once?
00:06:53 Once or twice.
00:06:56 Well, I do.
00:07:06 I'm not seeing a shrink.
00:07:09 I don't have a problem.
00:07:16 He does take after his father.
00:07:51 He's freaking out over nothing.
00:07:53 Nothing happened.
00:07:55 We didn't touch each other.
00:07:58 We jerked off in the same car,
00:08:04 Why do it together,
00:08:05 then?
00:08:16 Watching him excited you?
00:08:20 I didn't watch him.
00:08:22 Do I look like a fag?
00:08:25 Do I talk with a lisp?
00:08:31 Nice idea of homosexuals
00:08:34 They're not all like that.
00:08:38 They all become that way.
00:08:41 Sooner or later.
00:08:45 This is a waste of time.
00:08:51 I'd rather die.
00:09:01 It's just a figure of speech.
00:09:04 Isn't it obvious?
00:09:07 Being happy and healthy,
00:09:10 It's a no-brainer.
00:09:17 So?
00:09:20 A subconsciously deliberate
00:09:24 What?
00:09:27 He says I deliberately did that
00:09:30 find out I was gay
00:09:32 and accept it so that I could.
00:09:47 Twenty-five bucks
00:09:52 You didn't buy it, I hope?
00:09:54 - 'Course not.
00:09:56 "A subconsciously deliberate
00:09:59 He'll deliberately reimburse me,
00:10:02 What do you want?!
00:10:12 You want to take this in to him?
00:10:16 He'll be glad to see you.
00:10:19 I'm sure he's forgiven you.
00:10:35 Dad!
00:10:37 How are you?
00:10:38 Come in, come in.
00:10:40 What're you doing?
00:10:42 I don't have time.
00:10:44 Your brother's waiting in the car.
00:10:52 Hey, bro.
00:10:54 How you doing?
00:10:56 So, you take my room,
00:10:59 Oh, Dad, I almost forgot.
00:11:02 Can you lend me a few bucks?
00:11:04 I couldn't cash my cheque.
00:11:19 Better than nothing.
00:11:20 See you.
00:13:17 I would be cured
00:13:19 if I could simply make it
00:14:35 Happy birthday.
00:14:37 Christmas 1980
00:14:39 Fall on your knees
00:14:45 O hear the angel voices
00:14:50 O night divine
00:14:53 The night...
00:14:56 When Christ was born
00:15:21 Yesterday when I was young
00:15:24 The taste of life was sweet
00:15:27 I teased at life
00:15:31 The way the evening breeze
00:15:35 The thousand dreams I dreamed
00:15:38 I always built alas
00:15:42 I lived by night and shunned
00:15:46 And only now I see how
00:15:54 So many drinking songs
00:15:58 So many wayward pleasures
00:16:01 And so much pain
00:16:03 I ran so fast that time
00:16:06 He wrote that for you, Zac.
00:16:07 Yesterday the moon was blue
00:16:10 And every crazy day brought
00:16:14 I used my magic age
00:16:17 And never saw the waste
00:16:21 The game of love I played
00:16:25 And every flame I lit
00:16:29 The friends I made all
00:16:33 And only I am left on stage
00:16:37 There are so many songs
00:16:40 I feel the bitter taste of tears
00:16:45 The time has come for me
00:16:49 When I was young
00:17:03 Happy birthday, my man!
00:17:04 The old man's still got it, huh?
00:17:14 It's been a while since
00:17:19 He got rid of it.
00:17:22 Since when?
00:17:24 - Almost a year, I think.
00:17:28 I said nothing, okay?
00:17:38 I don't know about cake.
00:17:41 I overate.
00:17:43 We've got news.
00:17:45 I don't want to steal your thunder,
00:17:48 We're getting married.
00:17:54 You hear that?!
00:17:58 I'm very happy!
00:18:00 This calls for another bottle!
00:18:03 Congratulations.
00:18:07 How about a double wedding, honey?
00:18:09 Sit down and shut up.
00:18:11 You look like a damn fool.
00:18:25 What's the matter?
00:18:29 What's going on?
00:18:35 Tell him to go to hell.
00:18:37 Shut up, fag.
00:18:39 You shut up.
00:18:43 You seem to be sniffing a lot
00:18:46 Did I miss something?
00:18:48 Two subjects had become taboo
00:18:51 Me,
00:18:52 and Raymond.
00:18:54 That's enough!
00:18:55 Your ass must've been raw
00:18:58 He'd done a year for beating up
00:19:05 You'd have enjoyed that, huh?
00:19:07 That's quite enough!
00:19:09 It's Christmas!
00:19:10 Can't we eat in peace?!
00:19:21 Idiots!
00:20:32 How sweet life was
00:20:34 since I had become
00:21:27 Aw, Mom!
00:21:31 Yeah, that's right.
00:21:34 Don't call me back
00:21:38 She'll stop anyway,
00:21:40 whether or not I think of her.
00:21:56 If I truly had a gift,
00:21:58 by dint of being his instrument,
00:22:00 perhaps he would one day
00:22:16 Had I known,
00:22:20 I think...
00:22:22 you won't come much anymore.
00:22:27 He says it's just
00:22:29 Just long enough
00:22:31 To run through our savings,
00:22:33 Anyway, he seems determined.
00:22:36 I think, this time, he really wants
00:22:41 Please, make an effort.
00:22:45 So Michelle's well, then?
00:22:48 Yeah.
00:22:49 I brought your records back.
00:22:53 - Coffee?
00:22:59 What's new?
00:23:00 Not much.
00:23:03 So, were they a hit?
00:23:05 Your brother's playing
00:23:08 Can you believe it?
00:23:12 If that's the nutcase,
00:23:18 No, he's busy.
00:23:20 That her?
00:23:27 It was for Yvan.
00:23:33 Is Doris the "nutcase"?
00:23:37 She was nuts to put up with you
00:23:53 I'm sorry, Mom.
00:23:56 I'll be out of your hair soon.
00:24:00 I missed...
00:24:02 your delicious ironed toast.
00:24:09 I love you, Mom.
00:24:18 Any bacon left?
00:24:21 Well, I'll be going.
00:24:23 Already?
00:24:25 - Need a ride back?
00:24:27 I'll go.
00:24:29 Coming?
00:24:35 It's disco?
00:24:37 Not just disco.
00:24:38 I play a bit of everything.
00:24:40 Anything unusual.
00:24:43 I'll come see you at some point.
00:24:47 I don't drink anymore,
00:24:52 I don't drink, smoke
00:24:55 Fuck, I left my bag of weed
00:25:01 You can drop me at the corner.
00:25:09 Listen...
00:25:15 I know I haven't always been
00:25:22 I need money.
00:25:25 I'll pay you back. I don't know
00:25:29 You're asking me?
00:25:31 The old man brags that his little
00:25:34 If he's got a pet,
00:25:36 Don't be a prick, I'm in a jam.
00:25:38 Even if I was a millionaire,
00:25:50 Antoine and Christian did.
00:25:56 Come on!
00:25:58 Do I have to give you a blow job?
00:26:13 That's it, go kill yourself.
00:26:44 Aren't you in bed yet?
00:26:48 Here.
00:26:50 Someone left this for you tonight.
00:26:56 G'night.
00:27:15 You want to get things hopping,
00:27:18 - Do I have to wear this?
00:27:21 Bunch of nitwits. A tux
00:27:25 We're all dressed the same.
00:27:28 Very nice.
00:27:30 Where have you been?
00:27:34 Fatty.
00:27:38 - Goddammit, Raymond!
00:27:45 Congratulations.
00:27:53 Aren't you going to introduce us?
00:27:56 My mother.
00:27:58 My brothers.
00:27:59 My father. Min.
00:28:01 What's that?
00:28:03 Min.
00:28:40 He takes after his old man!
00:29:17 Is that idiot gonna play my tape
00:29:36 Not dancing?
00:29:37 I'm waiting for my song.
00:29:39 By popular request...
00:29:47 Shall we go smoke one outside?
00:29:49 Good idea.
00:29:52 You two go ahead.
00:30:28 What is it?
00:30:38 Your girlfriend's nice.
00:30:43 She's cute, too.
00:30:50 You want a shotgun?
00:32:02 A coke.
00:32:05 Same.
00:32:11 I'm very proud of you.
00:32:19 What's so funny?
00:32:28 Check those two out.
00:32:29 Little Zac sure seems
00:32:33 Talk about keeping it
00:32:35 He's not after his cousin,
00:32:37 I saw them French-kissing
00:32:42 So it's true.
00:32:44 Junior's a fag.
00:32:46 Looks like it.
00:32:56 Ah, damn.
00:33:37 Don't touch me!
00:33:42 Are you okay?
00:33:52 Keep dancing.
00:33:53 Just a little misunderstanding.
00:33:56 The wedding goes on.
00:33:58 No, everything's okay.
00:33:59 Keep dancing!
00:34:07 Christian!
00:34:11 I'm sorry!
00:34:17 What's going on?!
00:34:18 Stop!
00:34:21 Give us a minute?
00:34:29 On your brother's wedding day!
00:34:32 Raymond causes trouble
00:34:34 What happened was your fault.
00:34:37 You were being called a fag!
00:34:40 They saw you in the parking lot
00:34:45 What did they see?
00:34:49 It's not what you think.
00:34:55 We were smoking a joint.
00:34:57 We just gave each other a shotgun.
00:35:01 You're a born liar.
00:35:04 Nothing happened!
00:35:06 Be a man for once in your life
00:35:08 and tell the truth!
00:35:12 What do you want to hear?!
00:35:15 That I'm gay?!
00:35:16 A fag?!
00:35:18 That I suck cock?!
00:35:22 Yes, something happened,
00:35:25 You know with who.
00:35:30 Nothing happened earlier.
00:35:31 But I would've fucking loved it
00:35:35 Fucking right!
00:35:44 Go.
00:35:49 Go.
00:35:52 Go away!
00:37:30 Forgive me, Mom.
00:37:32 I know you'll be sad I'm gone.
00:37:34 But I know you'll be glad
00:37:37 Don't worry.
00:37:39 Your God is watching over me.
00:37:41 Raymond made me realize something
00:37:44 I've never told you I love you.
00:37:59 This side trip to the Holy Land,
00:38:01 would make her ecstatic.
00:38:07 Walking in Christ's footsteps
00:38:12 but I hadn't crossed the Atlantic
00:38:14 out of Catholic faith.
00:41:16 Zac, are you there?
00:41:22 I love you, sweetheart!
00:45:58 God works in mysterious ways,
00:46:51 The good Lord brought you back.
00:46:57 You'll heal him.
00:47:23 Thanks for coming, Christian.
00:47:37 I'm so happy you're staying.
00:47:42 I want to know everything.
00:47:47 Dad coming down?
00:47:50 He's in bed already.
00:47:53 - Good night.
00:48:06 I found him lying there,
00:48:08 with a syringe in his arm.
00:48:22 I think it'll be a while
00:48:28 What?
00:48:31 You lost that 20 long ago.
00:48:37 If you ask me,
00:49:59 He'll pull through.
00:50:08 I know I'm not a perfect father.
00:50:11 You certainly wouldn't have
00:50:16 Raymond, either.
00:50:19 I'm trying to understand
00:50:22 It's not easy.
00:50:29 I know I'm partly to blame.
00:50:35 I'd like to redeem myself,
00:50:37 but I don't know how.
00:50:41 I don't know what to tell you...
00:50:44 to make you understand
00:50:55 You can't forsake
00:51:00 having children.
00:51:04 There's nothing more beautiful...
00:51:06 more powerful.
00:51:08 And that really hits home
00:51:12 to losing one.
00:51:16 Because...
00:51:20 there's no greater pain.
00:51:31 The good Lord must surely
00:51:42 If you think it's a lost cause...
00:51:46 that you can't change...
00:51:55 I can't accept that.
00:51:59 I can't.
00:53:38 I'm sorry.
00:54:27 Speaking.
00:54:32 Oh, my God.
00:54:34 Oh, no.
00:54:49 Even in the face of death,
00:54:51 for it comes from God.
00:54:53 It is to him
00:54:59 Our Father
00:55:01 Who art in heaven
00:55:03 Hallowed be thy name
00:55:04 Thy kingdom come
00:55:06 They will be done
00:55:09 Give us this day
00:55:10 Our daily bread
00:55:12 And forgive us our trespasses
00:55:13 As we forgive those
00:55:16 And lead us not into temptation
00:55:19 But deliver us from evil
00:55:51 You spoke well.
00:55:54 I was deeply... touched.
00:56:31 Ciao, bro.
00:56:38 See ya, kid.
00:56:42 Mr. Beaulieu...
00:56:43 You'll come visit us, hmm?
00:57:12 Bye, Dad.
00:57:14 Take care of yourself.

00:59:19 to allow me into his home
00:59:21 And we've never mentioned
00:59:26 Nor Patsy Cline.
