Boomerang (2015–2019): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript

Go to bed!

I dreamt
I fell asleep at the wheel.

How can you sleep sitting down?

3 years' practice at school.

- Good evening.
- Evening.

No sleeping!

- We weren't sleeping.
- We're waiting for a friend.

Here? At 3am?

- Yes.
- Yep.

- Mind you...
- Wait a bit.

We'll wait a bit longer.



Beat it or I'll fine you.

Will it cost
less than a hotel?

We won't park
in front of the restaurant.

I'm not ready to let it go yet.

We'll come back in a bit.

Start, start!
Ah, thanks.

I can't believe
you slept in your car for 3 days.

I'm a friend, aren't I?
What are friends for?

We'll stay 1 night.

Mi casa es su casa.

A bed, at last!

I told you:
every problem has a solution.

Oh, my God...

How does she do it?



He can't be that good.
It's impossible.

Go on, come.

Come.

Come...

Come...

Patrick.

Patrick!

- Patrick!
- What? What's wrong?

She must've been screaming
for an hour!

OK.

I understand.

And you fancy some, eh?

- We're leaving!
- OK.

"Bedsit, no heating, crooked floor,

"over Chinese shop.
Spring roll smell."

- Serious?
- I'm reading between the lines.

We can't even afford a slum.

We'll become tramps.

What am I saying?
We are tramps!

We just need to find
a booze shop to sit outside.

- Stop it.
- It'll happen.

We're not alone.

I'm not going back
to Mr Macho's!

Your parents.

If we explain, they could lend us...

I'd rather be run over
by a truck.

- Look.
- What?

- Over there.
- Quick! Who's doing it?

Stone, paper...

- Yes!
- Shit!

Go!

Hey, my pizza!

It's my mum.

- Forget your mum! Go!
- OK! OK!

Karine, it's Mummy.

I've been trying
to get you for a few days.

The bank called me:

your restaurant
hasn't made the last few payments.

Probably just a mistake,

but call me to clear it up.

Think of your father.
Let's not worry him.

Monique! Monique.

I've found a brilliant app!

Check this out.

You can follow our journey

from the moment we leave the house

right until we reach
our hotel in Cuba, in real time.

So what?

Well, it...

it means you know
exactly where you are in real time.

It's time you played
with real humans in Cuba:

you're on the computer
far too much.

OK.

I've another app
that translates French into Spanish.

Say any word:

the app gives you the translation.

Oatmeal.

Who wants to know
the translation for "oatmeal"?

Avena.

Avena!

Amazing, eh?

- Really?
- Yes!

Hey, beautiful,

I'll buy you a coffee.

I stole some change off Sylvain.

You stole money from Sylvain?

Come on, baby. Don't cry.

It's just some change.

We're now stealing money
off your mate to buy coffee!

No, it's not "stealing".

Just look at it as...

as a loan...

a long-term loan
we didn't tell him about.

You didn't flip
when we stole pizza.

It's different!

How much d'you have?

About 20 dollars.

What're you doing?

I have to buy tampons.

That's why you're moo...

er... a sweet Moomin

who wants
to go sleepies all the time.

Buy as many tampons
as you like.

Money's no object.

Size, quantity, wings...

the full monty.

Go for it!

Mummy?

Stéphanie, honey!
Have you heard from your sister?

When has Karine ever called me?

What sun cream
do you want?

Factor 60 for me, 15 for Dad.

Perfect.
I'll pick you up at midday.

OK. Thanks, darling. Bye.

Karine!

- Hi.
- Stéphanie, what a coincidence!

You're in town
and you didn't call me!

That's not nice.

I left 3 or 4 messages,
but you never called back.

Well, yes...

We're so busy at the restaurant...

I don't have time to wash.

What're you doing?

This...

It's awkward.

- Patrick has problems...
- No.

No, he doesn't.

How about you?

I'm buying sun cream
for Mum and Dad.

- They're off to Cuba for a week.
- Ah yes...

Mum may've mentioned it

but we're so busy at the restaurant

that I must've forgotten.

Restaurant going OK?

Really good.

Turning folk away.

If you need...

Why do people ask me
if I need help? I'm a big girl.

I meant, if you need to talk

to Mum and Dad before they go,
the flight's at 3pm.

OK...

Guess what just happened?

Bad luck.

I ran into my sister. She quizzed me.

Good news: my parents
are off to Cuba for a week!

- They've invited us!
- No! The house is empty.

Alright! Yeah!

Bungalow City, here we come!

Your period must be pretty heavy.

A lounge!

With a leather sofa!

And a plasma TV!

Oh yes...

A kitchen!

- A fridge.
- Yes!

With...

a nice bottle of white!

Through there...

What is it?

A shower!

With hot water!

- A king-size bed!
- A bed!

- Did it go "crack"?
- Don't worry.

Delicious.
You're the world's best chef.

The restaurant
would've been a success

without the roadworks.

Let's move on, eh?

We tried,
it didn't work.

How about we find a better location,

city centre...

That costs an arm and a leg

and we don't have
any arms left.

My arms are big enough

for two, my love.

My love,

I've got something to tell you.

I'm not sure
you'll think it's good news.

After the shitty weeks we've had,

it'll have to be serious
to make me cave in.

It is.

Seriously serious.

Yeah...

Come on, shoot!

Bring on the bad news!

Now I'm bust,
nothing upsets me.

"Bust"?

What's he doing,
naked in my bedroom? Eh?

There's a hurricane in Cuba.

The flight's cancelled.

That smells good

in the kitchen.
What is it? Tarragon?

What... is it?

Basil.

You borrowed $80,000
from your mother?

You lent them $80,000
without telling me?

As they can't pay it back...

- Temporarily.
- We were unlucky.

I owe their 80,000 to the bank?

We'll pay you back.

We'll make it up
at a better site.

So, when do you expect

to pay it back?

It's hard to give an exact date.

And you didn't think
it might be worth

consulting me before financing

his bloody white elephant project?

You'd have said "no".

Yes! Dirty cheapskate that I am!

It would've been
just like me to say "no"

to his restaurant project

in a district nobody goes to!

Look what might've happened!

Can I just say that
it wasn't just my white elephant?

It was our white elephant.

No. It was your idea, your dream!

It was never Karine's dream!

She can't even make a toastie!

She did it

out of love:
incomprehensible!

No, she can't make toasties.
Remember the time she...

Stéphanie, stop!

We'll find work and pay you back.

Is that true what your mother says?

You wanted our eatery.

OK, OK...

No. You're just doubtful
because the dream turned

into a nightmare.
At the start, you loved it.

You'd have said
if you didn't like it?

It seemed so important to you.
You talked about it endlessly.

Cooking is your life
and I had no better ideas.

So I got on board, but I...

I was alone on the ship
all that time?

No! I was there!
I just wasn't into it...

- My God!
- I wasn't into it, but...

I thought
we knew each other!

Serves you right, Lussier!

- Could've told me.
- What difference would it make?

What difference would it make
telling you?

A little girl
who only worked 1 summer

selling clothes
before marrying a rich guy!

Which of your business-savvy
qualities should I have called on?

I don't know, Karine.

If you'd told me,
I could've said something like:

"Stay with us."

You're right:
who'd confide in a suburban idiot

who stays home to look after her kid?

What's it to me that my sister

is in trouble?

Why should I care
I'm going to be an auntie?

What?

Rewind.

- He didn't know?
- No, he didn't.

This isn't about bankruptcy?

- No.
- Who's going to be an aunt?

Thanks for keeping me informed.

I'd started to tell you.
Patrick!

- I'm sorry...
- What? Now you want to talk, eh?

I didn't say right away:
I'm not sure!

What didn't you say?

That you borrowed money
off your folks

or that you're pregnant?

I'm slow.
You gotta tell me things slowly!

You never understood accounting!

You don't seem
to understand much either!

After 3 months of roadworks outside,

serving 4 customers a week,

we'd had it!

A kid of 4 would've realised!

Let me get this straight:
I'm going to be a granddad again

and I owe 80,000?

I don't know!
I'm too stupid!

Ask Karine!

Email me if it's a boy or a girl.

You can sleep here in the meantime.

I'll pay every last cent back.

You bet you will!

Pierre!

Shouldn't we tell her off just a bit?

How come you're granting loans
without telling me?

Don't blame me!

We're talking about Karine!

I'm not pregnant.

You sure?

I did the test 3 times.

That's the first bit
of good news all week.

When you give me a child,
we'll do it right.

He'll be wanted,

not just some problem
that we have to deal with.

I don't want
his 1st bed to be a car

or a sofa in Sylvain's shag palace.

I can give you babies.

Just tell me when.

I didn't tell you about the finances

because I thought it would work out.

I didn't want you to be unhappy.

How could I be, when you're here?

Come here.

I love you.

I love you more.

We'll get through, I promise.

We accept my folks' offer:

we'll stay 3 days,
till we sort ourselves out.

1 week max.

2 weeks worst case,
till we find a job.

3 weeks tops,

till we get paid, find a flat...

Go before my birthday.

I'm not turning 35
at Pierre and Monique's:

we'll look like real losers...

We'll never be there then.

Worst case scenario,
we go before Christmas. Deal?

Deal.

So...

you live with your parents, do you?

Yes.

In a superb storeroom,

that smells musty.
- Yeah?

Next to the washing machine.

My parents keep the toilet paper...

No.
That fantasy won't work for me.

It doesn't work for me!

Shall we go?

Yes. But first,
I have something to sort out.

- Unhook it.
- I've got it, I've got it!

Shit, the police!

Go, go, go!

What're you doing! Stop!

- Morning.
- Hi, Dad.

Morning, Pierre.
