S1.E6 ∙ Breadwinner Sun, Apr 4, 1993 Annie gets a letter from an old friend asking if she and Peter would like to write an article on Provence for her magazine. They soon realize that they need an angle or a human interest story to make their article more interesting. Mr. Columbani refers them to his brother-in-law who is a renowned gastronome, but that doesn't work out. They soon find the perfect story when the village baker's wife leaves him and suddenly the quality of the bread falls off dramatically. They realize they have to get them to reconcile and Annie is convinced that she knows exactly what to tell her to get her back home.
01:30It was the annual fate on the 15th and the village was bristling with activity.
02:09Hello, Mr. Godin.
02:10It's my wife, Angélique.
02:13I saw your wife.
02:14Yes.
02:15She, um...
02:16She, um...
02:19Naked.
02:20And the, uh...
02:22I didn't have time to, uh...
02:25It's not good, huh?
02:26For a merchant.
02:27To have a woman exhibitionist.
02:29I don't know.
02:31A lightly dressed baker's wife is all part of the, uh...
02:35Baguette et deux croissants, s'il vous plaît.
02:38Baguette, oui.
02:42This boulanger...
02:43He's going to kill me, this boulanger.
02:45He's not going to serve me as much as you need.
02:48Let me do it.
02:50I'm storming a teacup, Mr. Godin.
02:55With all this peddling, I managed to lose the half pound I'd put on eating what I'd lost fetching.
03:01But Marcel the parcel brought us a letter that threatened to suck the pendulum sideways.
03:06You remember Petra Donaldson?
03:09The journalist.
03:11I was at school with her.
03:14When does she want to come?
03:16She's not after a bed.
03:17She works for a magazine called Chic.
03:20Their food writer was sent to Tuscany.
03:22She's gone down with glandular fever.
03:24Can she invert Tuscany and Provence?
03:27Do Provence immediately.
03:29And will we write it?
03:31What do you think?
03:33What about the novel?
03:35I can cope.
03:36What about Petra Donaldson?
03:38Do you want to do her a favor?
03:39Petra Donaldson always thought she was cleverer than everyone else.
03:43We hated each other's guts.
03:45And so you don't want to do it?
03:48On the contrary.
03:50The parking facilities are a little inadequate.
03:53The attention of the management should be drawn to the fact that the bloated customer,
03:58when he rolls totally blotto out of the restaurant, should not be expected to stagger more than five yards back to his vehicle.
04:06This drawback of far...
04:08An attractively composed short menu is mouthwateringly delicious.
04:12Mouthwateringly?
04:13Isn't that a bit of a cliche?
04:15The fish moose which arrived bathed...
04:19Lapped.
04:20Lapped.
04:21Lapped in a lightweight sauce was...
04:33And the tart tatin, which was made from caramelized coarse local apples, was...
04:39Mouthwateringly?
04:42Mouthwatering.
04:43Bloody bore, isn't it?
04:48We can't send this.
04:50She'll think we're hacks.
04:51What we need is a human interest story.
04:53A story with guts.
04:55An old man sleeps with olive tree to prevent frost.
05:00Grandmother sacrifices pension for a goat.
05:03Upmarket tabloid.
05:05That kind of thing.
05:06That's what cheap wants.
05:08We'll have to consult the Oracle.
05:11And so, while we were choosing our loo, we slipped the question.
05:15I'm going to have a clientele.
05:16Vert brosséliande.
05:17And Tabal.
05:18And Tabal.
05:19Havana.
05:20Well, very, very, very, very...
05:22Actually, we wanted white.
05:25Blanc.
05:26Blanc.
05:27Oh, la, la.
05:28I can see what I can do.
05:30Blanc.
05:31But there was also other things, Mr. Colombani.
05:36We wrote very fast an article about food.
05:42Food?
05:43Food?
05:44No, no, no, no.
05:45It's the good food.
05:47Food provenance.
05:49And we want a little help.
05:53Food?
05:54Food?
05:55Food?
05:56Food?
05:57Well, there's no problem.
05:58For the oven, it's difficult.
05:59But before the oven...
06:00Hey!
06:01Oh!
06:02I got it!
06:03Oh!
06:04And that was how we met Regis, Colombani's brother-in-law.
06:11Ticket inspector on the high-speed train and amateur gastronome extraordinaire.
06:16Shalam, Regis Santoni to your service.
06:20Who immediately set about impressing us with the powers of his palate.
06:25They're ellos.
06:26They justデु assume, Ah!
06:27They're sgliched.
06:28Wyephernt gris.
06:33A wet fünf.
06:38He's a purple butдесят your family stop!
06:43Tommy, have a queen!
06:44Oh, yeah!
06:45LEAVEFRIGHT!
06:46I watch chitlin?
06:47My eyes!
06:48Several good!
06:49There's still a cherry!
06:51Degueurace.
06:58Next.
07:05Paradigm.
07:09Truly remarkable.
07:11Regis, isotopes.
07:14Regis, all this tasting, the palate, le palais, fantastic.
07:19I live for food, Monsieur Nel.
07:23I can see that, Regis.
07:26Guess what Regis dreamt to be?
07:28Do tell us.
07:30Critique gastronomique.
07:32Food journalist.
07:34Well, if you want to be a journalist, Regis, what about a story?
07:38Une bonne histoire.
07:41Le saucisson.
07:43Your ability to distinguish one salami from another
07:47is hardly going to make front-page news, Regis.
07:49Le bon, le mauvais, the good, the bad, the ugly, the quality.
07:56Is this a story, Regis?
07:57But yes.
08:00And the very big one.
08:02Come.
08:04Where, Regis?
08:06To the village.
08:07Shh.
08:08Shh.
08:20Shh.
08:20This story, this scoop, is that here.
08:39Be best on Baker.
08:43Never tried his bread.
08:44No, no, certainly not.
08:46Nice shop.
08:48Nice.
08:49No ski.
08:50Look, Brashees, this is all very interesting.
08:53What the hell's going on?
08:55Attendez.
08:57Argue.
09:00We hide them.
09:05You see, Edna, give her a chance.

11:38But.
11:39But.
11:40But.
11:41But the.
11:42Come, come.
11:50The hero of this article is here.
11:52The boulanger Godin.
11:55He is not in bed.
11:57He makes real bread.
11:59But surely there's room for both, Regis.
12:02The two.
12:03Godin and Pastor.
12:05The quality or the merde.
12:21I've got a feeling Petra Donaldson's just going to love this.
12:27Bread over bed.
12:29Right, let's go.
12:33Pictures and interviews tomorrow.
12:37This will make me to go to the stars.
12:39People come from all over the world to buy his bread.
12:42And the baston, the bin.
13:03The next morning, I got up even earlier and I pedaled up even faster.
13:15Hello!
13:18Hello!
13:20Hello!
13:22Hello!
13:24Hello!
13:26Hello!
13:27Hello, Dorothee.
13:29One baguette and two croissants, s'il te plait.
13:31Hello, Dorothee.
13:33Hello, Dorothee.
13:35One baguette and two croissants, s'il te plait.
13:39Okay.
13:40Here.
13:44I can't take pictures of that.
13:49He does seem to like the genius touch.
13:53Didn't he look at it when he gave it to you?
13:55It wasn't Godin, it was Dorothee.
13:57I can't do an article on this.
13:59Probably from the edge of the oven, didn't get the heat properly.
14:10I'll take it back.
14:11Or maybe he got a bit sweaty on the bike.
14:12I'll take it back.
14:13This is something I know you've met all around and i think that's how these are old.
14:17I think the HALF, these people have adapted were really good.
14:20I'll take it back.
14:22Well, maybe you got a bit sweaty on the bike.
14:24I'll take it back.
14:45Creme caramel.
14:47Well, almost white, but not quite.
14:51Mais le blanc, monsieur.
14:52Mais le blanc, c'est dur.
14:54Monsieur Colombani, look.
14:57All the bread's like this.
14:58Eh oui, mais...
15:01But why?
15:03Pourquoi?
15:04Parce que le pain...
15:05Comment vous dire?
15:07Le pain, c'est un baromètre.
15:09His bread's a baromètre of was.
15:11Quand le boulanger, il est...
15:13Il est...
15:15Il est content.
15:17When he's...
15:18Happy.
15:19Alors, la baguette.
15:21Elle est belle.
15:22The stick's crisp.
15:23Et quand le boulanger, il est...
15:25Il est pas content.
15:26When he's not happy.
15:28Oh, la baguette.
15:31That'll do something, Annie.
15:36Monsieur Mel!
15:37Madame Mel!
15:40Quick! Quick!
15:41Je m'écaire!
15:42We must!
15:43We must!
15:43We must!

16:06Bonjour, Roger!
16:07Bonjour.
16:08Bonjour.
16:10Monsieur Godin?
16:12Yeah, c'est moi.
16:14He is pity.
16:16He's pissed.
16:26Monsieur Gola.
16:29The bread.
16:31Le pain.
16:33Aujourd'hui,
16:35il n'est pas bon.
16:37Je m'en fous.
16:39Why don't you care?
16:40Pourquoi?
16:42Je veux ma femme.
16:44Why does he want his wife?
16:46Parce que ma femme,
16:47elle est partie.
16:48Angelica Asgone.
16:52Je veux ma femme.
16:54C'est comme ça,
16:54les boulangers.
16:57C'est comme dans le film,
16:58la femme du boulanger.
17:00C'est un beau film, hein?
17:03Dans le film,
17:05il y a un chat.
17:06Et moi,
17:08je ne veux pas de chat.
17:10Except he hasn't even got a cat
17:12for company.
17:13Yeah.
17:15Tomorrow,
17:17demain,
17:18la compétition,
17:20Roger.
17:21Le concours,
17:22la gloire.
17:23Je m'en fous.
17:26Pas de femme.
17:27Pas de paix.
17:28Je veux ma femme.
17:48Angélique est partie de la maison hier soir.
17:50Last night,
17:52you said.
17:53J'entends un chien à voyer.
17:55Je regarde par la fenêtre.
17:57Je vois la moto.
17:58And who is the man on the...
18:00Ça doit être Robert.
18:02C'est ton frère
18:02qui vend les disques sur le marché.
18:04Un broseur Robert.
18:06And where does Robert live?
18:08À Cavaillon.
18:09Il l'a mené chez sa mère,
18:10mais ce n'est pas la première fois.
18:11She must be at her mother's house.
18:14Our house.
18:16It is not the first time.
18:17She's naughty.
18:19Today,
18:19the mother.
18:20Tomorrow.
18:22Let's go.
18:24My meal.
18:26Last time,
18:26she owe for six weeks.
18:29And we've got six hours.
18:30Come on, Regis.
18:31Merci, Madame.
18:32Well,
18:42what are we going to do now?
18:43Kidnapper?
18:44Stuff her in a sack?
18:45We haven't even got a roof rack.
18:47No.
18:48I think I know what to do.
18:50What?
18:53Just have to wait and see, boys.
18:55I think I know what to do now.
19:25No, Roger, she's not drunk, she's sincere.
19:55This is no time to go to bed.
20:07She wants to make the bread, Roger.
20:16Well then, we'll all make the bread.
20:32There we go, there we go.
20:48Ready?
21:08Oh, holy shit.
21:15Hey, hold on, man.
21:23Hey, Olga.
21:38Mmm.
21:45Mouth washing.
21:50Well, good luck, Roger.
21:55Yes.
21:56Emile de Bastogne.
22:19Ladies and gentlemen, I don't want to talk a long time, I don't want to overcome the risk of you, so I'll be brief.
22:49But, of course, I don't want to lose this opportunity to remind you the economic realities that inspired this action.
22:59This first competition of products locaux, a competition to encourage the artisanal production of our region,
23:07region, what is it, the axis of the road that make the rich of the valley of the Rhône,
23:11which encourages us to develop our natural riches, the beauty of the landscape,
23:17and the joyousness that we have to offer at the moment of the race of the concours.
23:24And for that, I just want to distinguish Ms. Evelyn Hermonville.
23:31Première section, participants 2, and the winner is Mr. Roger Godin.
25:05I am glad.
25:11Peter.
25:13Yes?
25:15I heard.
25:17I heard for the cock.
25:20What cock?
25:22That you go at night to Coulomb to kill the cock Charlemagne for me?
25:30Heavens, no, Evelyn, no.
25:32You've got the wrong end of cock, the stick.
25:35I was looking for my letterbox.
25:38You won't believe this, but...
25:39Thank you, Peter, from my depths.
25:45You do for me, I do for you.
25:50I am glad your friend, you win.
25:53The priest.
26:03I go.
26:04It's okay.
26:07I'll be here.
26:37All was well that ended well. Godin was rewarded, Angelique was stored to the nest, and even Colin Barney was victorious.
26:47He found a white loo lovingly stored in the barn of an old English resident called Mr. Parrot.
26:52But still, Annie wouldn't tell us how she'd done it.
26:56The secrets in the article, she said. The magazine was due on Tuesday. We were all waiting.
27:03Huile d'olive vierge.
27:07Toscano.
27:16Monsieur Mera, Madame Mera, Anfero magazine.
27:21What have they done to my article?
27:29You mean you can't find it?
27:31It's all Angelique. Where's my work?
27:34Great spread. Really pro. Thanks a million. Send more. Petra. That she approves.
27:43Did you take these pictures?
27:45You said human interest. Oh, I thought in the interest of humanity.
27:51There's nothing a girl won't do for a spreading sheep.
27:53Oh, Professor. There's nothing a girl. Oh, I'm the journalist. Marcel. Marcel, Marcel, look. There. It's me. I'm a chick. Oh.
28:05And so Angelique stayed put, basking like some luscious loaf, in the warmth of Roger's devotion and the admiration of those who were once her customers, but who were now her public.
