Oh man
It doesn't get much better than this
Yeah. Not so bad
Actually, Paris in springtime
Fuckin' love that city
Cafés, little bottle of rosé,
chicks in dresses
Paris in May?
It's totally intolerable
- Intolerable? - Yeah.
You should try living in Cleveland
That'll test your tolerance
Besides, what makes Paris
so bad in May?
One word: Manifestacións
- Manifestations? - Yeah.
Are you getting all existentialist,
with me man?
No, no, no, no
Talking Jean Paul Sartre shit?
No, no, no, not manifestation, come on
[in French] How you say? Protesting, you know?
The protest, the demonstrating
in the street, la-la-la, you know?
Oh yeah. The spirit of 68, yeah.
Viva la [revoluction], baby!
It's impossible, can you imagine?
Every May in France, nobody works
It's like a vacation doing protesting
And there's six public holidays in May
If one falls on a Thursday,
the workers, they get together,
and do the Pont, [in French] you know? The bridge?
-They do the bridge? -[in French] Yeah.
Wait, let me get this straight
You're telling me that
all of France
takes the entire month of May off
to play fucking bridge?
Oh no, no, [in French], but no,
you're not listening to me, [in French], listen, ok?
Look, if it falls on a Thursday,
the workers, they get together,
they take Friday off too,
plus the weekend,
so that gives them
a four-day holiday every week
Yeah, yeah. Four-day holiday
Sounds good to me
Oh yeah, sounds great?
What about the economy?
Imagine, all city, the country
shuts off for a month every year
where nobody thinks,
nobody cares
Yeah, yeah, I get it, but
all work and no play
makes Johnny put a fucking axe
through the fucking bathroom door
And if you care about the French economy so bad,
what's your ass doin' here in Malibu?
I have to leave Paris, I mean, everyday there's a different
public demonstration
[speech volume lowers] All the railway workers, they don't want to work,
and so the trains don't run on time
and the trash workers, they want a bigger salary,
so there's trash everywhere
[normal volume resumes] Yeah, Paris is like a paradise for rats!
Like the Ratatouille cartoon
This isn't a joke
Look, last week
the old people, they were marching
'cause they want more money
for social security
So they march all the way
to the Parliament,
except there are old, these people, you know?
So they can't walk fast,
with their walking sticks
and their, you know, their wheelchairs
[speech volume lowers] You know, so it takes hours and hours and hours,
can you imagine?
The whole city will shut down,
the noise, and then the traffic,
the taxi drivers pa-pa-pa
with their horns, [in French] you know?
It's impossible, [in French], it's appalling!
[normal volume resumes] Yeah, yeah, yeah, the horn?
Yeah, it's not even the worst thing, you know,
'cuz the Parisians, they say they are fed up.
So what do they do?
[in French] these imbeciles, what do they do?
Do you know [what] they do? [in French] listen!
They decided to do a public demonstration
against the public demonstration!
[in French] it's absurd!
[in French] The stupidity, the stupidity of these people.
Hey! Are you listening to me?
Just...let me enjoy the demonstration
What?
What demonstration?
Don't you see?
Life can be tough
I see
