the hat got to do with it?
- Italian Straw.
- And poppies.
I have to go home alone after
I`ve waited for you all night...
at my cousin Aloa.
- Pardon me, Madame.
- I don`t know you, monsieur.
You don`t? Oh, yes.
But you are wearing a hat.
You went to by Swedish gloves.
Does that take 14 hours?
- Say, does that lady have a hat on?
- She does.
But your horse ate that hat.
God knows what it eats.
Monsieur guardsman...
What`s so funny?
- Is this lady wearing a hat?
- Yes.
A charming hat of Italian
straw.
- With poppies?
- With poppies.
Thank you, monsieur Tradivo.
You can have your coffee, it
won`t do you any harm now.
I was wrong, monsieur.
She has a hat on.
- Yes.
- I`m not good at making speeches,
- but I want...
- One minute.
We will correct this little
mistake.
You are a free man now.
I`m no good at making speeches,
but until Bapertuis` heart
stops beating you`ll live in it.
I won`t say another word.
Can I have something to
remember this day?
- Oh no, thank you.
- What?
- The hat.
- 500 francs! All right, you can have it.
- Thank you.
- Let`s go, my treasure.
Darling, maybe the officer
needs a lift?
- Ask him.
- Ask him?
- You`re welcome.
- Me?
- Thank you.
- Don`t mention it.
- But what about me?
- You too?
- Of course!
( song )
The young ones and especially
the old ones,
Take good care of your straw
hats,
Keep them to the end,
and that`s the whole point.
When there`s thunder
over your head,
Even a wisp of straw...
Even a wisp of straw...
Can play a decisive role
in your life.
Wonderful, son-in-law,
everything`s re-established.
Son-in-law!
Your servant told us
about what happened.
I return my daughter
in your care.
I return the wedding presents!
I give you back my myrtle
tree.
You acted in a noble way!
Like befits a true Frenchman!
- Long live France!
- A true gentleman!
Alaine...
A real man.
- Come inside.
- Congratulations, cousin.
Congratulations.

A hundred years ago...
This unbelievable story
happened,
This unbelievable story
happened,
This unbelievable story
happened.
And maybe there`s no
truth to it,
And maybe there`s no
truth to it,
But there`s a lesson to be
learned.
There`s a lesson to be
learned.
Sweet dreams, Eugene Labiche,
We`ll try to be truthful
and you`ll allow us...
To interpret your vaudeville
while you`re asleep,
To interpret it, not more.
