Henri Verneuil - Cent Mille Dollars au Soleil - La Finlandaise

  • 0:01 - 0:03
    Have you heard my story
    about the Finn?
  • 0:04 - 0:06
    Yeah...Well if you don't know it,
    you will soon.
  • 0:06 - 0:09
    Imagine it: One day I am on
    the Insaoud road.
  • 0:09 - 0:12
    I stumble across a petroleum engineer
    with a broken-down Land Rover.
  • 0:12 - 0:14
    He has a cute chick with him,
  • 0:14 - 0:17
    a big blonde with dreamy eyes,
  • 0:17 - 0:18
    a baby's smile...
  • 0:18 - 0:20
    a real slut. I noticed her
    right away,
  • 0:20 - 0:22
    because women are my thing.
  • 0:23 - 0:24
    It sure beats shoveling, eh?
  • 0:26 - 0:28
    So with a straight face, I tell
    the engineer:
  • 0:28 - 0:31
    "If you want, I can drive your lady
    to Agdid and call a tow truck."
  • 0:31 - 0:34
    He actually said yes. So I'm alone
    with the doll. Isn't that right, Saiid?
  • 0:35 - 0:36
    It's all true!
  • 0:36 - 0:37
    Yes, it's true.
  • 0:37 - 0:39
    It's also fascinating.
  • 0:40 - 0:42
    Are you going to work at all?
  • 0:42 - 0:45
    Just wait, it gets better!
    Doesn't it get better?
  • 0:45 - 0:46
    Yeah, yeah...
  • 0:46 - 0:49
    So, soon as we left,
    I drove with one hand.
  • 0:49 - 0:52
    And that's when the girl starts
    putting on airs and graces,
  • 0:52 - 0:54
    the delicate manners
    of a fine lady,
  • 0:54 - 0:56
    on the pretext that Saiid was there.
  • 0:56 - 0:58
    Just then we arrived at the sand dunes.
  • 0:59 - 1:00
    So, I said to the Finn girl:
  • 1:00 - 1:02
    "Have you heard about the sand roses?"
  • 1:02 - 1:03
    "No," she said.
  • 1:03 - 1:06
    So I stopped the truck, and said,
    "See that sand dune?
  • 1:06 - 1:09
    Behind it are the most beautiful
    sand roses in all of Nigeria."
  • 1:09 - 1:10
    [Chuckles]
  • 1:10 - 1:12
    Great. She wanted to go see.
  • 1:13 - 1:16
    Two hours later, Mitch-Mitch
    and his little chickie are at Iqbul Fri,
  • 1:16 - 1:18
    raising glasses of Pernod.
  • 1:19 - 1:22
    Suddenly, the cuckold arrives, and goes
    straight to her, without saying a word.
  • 1:22 - 1:25
    He shoots her a look that could
    kill a buffalo.
  • 1:26 - 1:27
    Someone told him?
  • 1:27 - 1:28
    Sand!
  • 1:29 - 1:31
    Mitch, who always says too much,
    told him:
  • 1:31 - 1:33
    "Once you're all set, follow my tracks
    to Iqbul Fri."
  • 1:34 - 1:37
    The little engineer had followed our
    tracks all the way to the dunes.
  • 1:37 - 1:39
    There was more than enough
    evidence there.
  • 1:40 - 1:42
    We might as well have waved our
    underwear at him.
  • 1:42 - 1:44
    How did it end?
  • 1:44 - 1:47
    Done glaring at his tart, he
    took a swing at the guys.
  • 1:48 - 1:50
    Mitch blocked the first punch,
    and told him:
  • 1:50 - 1:53
    "Don't push your luck!"
  • 1:53 - 1:54
    The husband said nothing?
  • 1:54 - 1:58
    Well, you know. When some 250 lb.
    guys say something,
  • 1:58 - 2:00
    130 lb. guys tend to listen.
